Children should grow along with playing games; for, 16 playing games, they can not only acquire knowledge, but also cultivate their abilities to get along with others.However, most children are 17 (face) with a completely different situation. Most parents fear that games will prevent children from increasing new knowledge and 18 the children will fail in the future examinations. So, instead of 19 ( let ) the children 20 find and learn naturally from their surroundings, they force their children to take part in various kinds of classes, learning English, playing 21 piano or practising drawing, etc. Whats more, some parents put 22 the childrens toys which are very useful in developing childrens imagination and practical abilities. 23 is a piece of good advice to those parents: 24 you want to expect your child to be able to accomplish something, you must first of all develop his ability to adapt to the new surroundings. That cram education can lead to nothing 25 a failure in the childrens growth.II. 阅读（共两节，满分50分）第一节 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B，C和D项中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。A Motherhood may make women smarter and may help prevent dementia(痴呆) in old age by bathing the brain in protective hormones(荷尔蒙) , U.S. researchers reported on Thursday.Tests on rats show that those who raise two or more litters of pups do considerably better in tests of memory and skills than rats who have no babies, and their brains show changes that suggest they may be protected against diseases such as Alzheimers(早老痴呆症). University of Richmond psychology professor Craig Kinsley believes his findings will translate into humans.“Our research shows that the hormones of pregnancy(怀孕) are protecting the brain, including estrogen(雌激素), which we know has many neuroprotective (保护神经的) effects,” Kinsley said. “Its rat data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals,” he added in a telephone interview. “They go through pregnancy and hormonal changes.”Kinsley said he hoped public health officials and researchers will look to see if having had children protects a woman from Alzheimers and other forms of age-related brain decline.“When people think about pregnancy, they think about what happens to babies and the mother from the neck down,” said Kinsley, who presented his findings to the annual meeting of the Society of Neuroscience in Orlando, Florida.“They do not realize that hormones are washing on the brain. If you look at female animals that have never gone through pregnancy, they act differently toward young. But if she goes through pregnancy, she will sacrifice her life for her infant that is a great change in her behavior that showed in genetic alterations(改变) to the brain.”26. How do scientists know “Motherhood may make women smarter”?A. Some researchers have told them.B. Many women say so.C. They know it by experimenting on rats.D. They know it through their own experience.27. What does the phrase “litters of pups” mean in the second paragraph?A. Baby rats.B. Animals.C. Old rats.D. Grown-up rats.28. What can protect the brain of a woman according to the passage?A. Estrogen. B. The hormones of pregnancy. C. More exercise. D. Taking care of children.29. “Its rat data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals.” What does the sentence suggest?A. The experiments on the rats have nothing to do with humans.B. The experiments on the rats are very important for animals.C. The experiments on the rats are much the same on humans.D. The experiments on the rats are much the same on other animals.30. Which title is the best for this passage?A. Do You Want to Be Smarter?B. Motherhood Makes Women SmarterC. Mysterious Hormones D. An Important StudyBThe traditional tent cities at festivals such as Glastonbury may never be the same again. In a victory of green business that is certain to appeal to environmentally-aware music-lovers, a design student is to receive financial support to produce eco-friendly tents made of cardboard that can be recycled after the bands and the crowds have gone home.Major festivals such as Glastonbury throw away some 10,000 abandoned tents at the end of events each year. For his final year project at the University of the West of England, James Dunlop came up with a material that can be recycled. And to cope with the British summer, the cardboard has been made waterproof. Taking inspiration from a Japanese architect, who has used cardboard to make big buildings including churches, Mr. Dunlop used cardboard material for his tents, which he called Myhabs.The design won an award at the annual New Designers Exhibition after Mr. Dunlop graduated from his product design degree and he decided to try to turn it into a business.To raise money for the idea, he toured the citys private companies which fund new business and found a supporter in the finance group Mint. He introduced his idea to four of Mints directors and won their support. Mint has committed around 500,000 to MyHabs and taken a share of 30 per cent in Mr. Dunlops business. The first Myhabs should be tested at festivals this summer, before being marketed fully next year.Mr. Dunlop said that the design, which accommodates two people, could have other uses, such as for disaster relief and housing for the London Olympics.For music events, the cardboard houses will be ordered online and put up at the sites by the Myhabs team before the festival-goers arrive and removed by the company afterwards. They can be personalized and the company will offer reductions on the expense if people agree to sell exterior (外部的) advertising space. The biggest festivals attract tens of thousands of participants, with Glastonbury having some 150,000 each year. Altogether there are around 100 annual music festivals where people camp in the UK. The events are becoming increasingly environmentally conscious.31. “Eco-friendly tents” in paragraph 1 refer to tents _. A. economically desirable B. favorable to the environment C. for holding music performances D. designed for disaster relief32. Mr. Dunlop established his business . A. independently with an interest-free loan from Mint B. with the approval of the Citys administration C. in partnership with a finance group D. with the help of a Japanese architect33. It is implied in the passage that _. A. the weather in the UK is changeable in summer B. most performances at British festivals are given in the open air C. the cardboard tents produced by Mr. Dunlop can be user-tailoredD. cardboard tents can be easily put up and removed by users.34. The passage is mainly concerned with .A. an attempt at developing recyclable tentsB. some efforts at making full use of cardboardsC. an unusual success of a graduation projectD. the effects of using cardboard tents on music festivals35. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Dont Use Tents AgainB. The Advantages of TentsC. How to Produce Tents D. The Development of Recyclable TentsCIt is difficult for doctors to help a person with a damaged brain. Without enough blood, the brain lives for only three to five minutes. More often the doctors cant fix the damage. Sometimes they are afraid to try something to help because it is dangerous to work on the brain. The doctors might make the person worse if he operates on the brain.Dr. Robert White, a famous professor and doctor, thinks he knows a way to help. He thinks doctors should make the brain very cold. If it is very cold, the brain can live without blood for 30 minutes. This gives the doctor a longer time to do something for the brain. Dr. White tried his idea on 13 monkeys. First he taught them to do different jobs, then he operated on them. He made the monkeys blood back to the monkeys brains. When the brains temperature was 10, Dr. White stopped the blood to the brain. After 30 minutes he turned the blood back on. He warmed the blood again. After their operations the monkeys were like they had been before. They were healthy and busy. Each one could still do the jobs the doctor had taught them.36. The biggest difficulty in operating on the damaged brain is that . A. the time is too short for doctors B. the patients are often too nervous C. the damage is extremely hard to fix D. the blood-cooling machine might break down 37. The brain operation was made possible mainly by .A. taking the blood out of the brainB. trying the operation on monkeys firstC. having the blood go through a machineD. lowering the brains temperature 38. With Dr. Whites new idea, the operation on the damaged brain .A. can last as long as 30 minutesB. can keep the brains blood warmC. can keep the patients brain healthyD. can help monkeys do different jobs39. What is the right order of the steps in the operations?a. send the cooled back to the brainb. stop the blood to the brainc. have the blood cooled downd. operate on the brainA. a, b, c, dB. c, a, b, dC. c, b, d, aD. b, c, d, a40. Which of the following is not true? A. If there isnt enough blood, the brain can live for only three to five minutes.B. If the brain is very cold, it can live without blood for half an hour.C. Dr. White tried his idea for thirteen times.D. After their operations, the monkeys were healthy and busy again.DDeath Valley is one of the most famous deserts in the United States, covering a wide area with its alkali sand. Almost 20 percent of this area is well below sea level, and Badwater, a salt water pool, is about 280 feet below sea level and the lowest point in the United States. Long ago the Panamint Indians called this place “Tomesha” the land of fire. Death Valleys present name dates back to 1849, when a group of miners coming across from Nevada became lost in its unpleasantness and hugeness and their adventure turned out to be a sad story. Today Death Valley has been declared a National Monument(纪念碑) and is crossed by several well-marked roads where good services can be found easily. Luckily the change created by human settlement has hardly ruined the special beauty of this place. Here nature created a lot of surprising, almost like the sights on the moon, ever-changing as the frequent wind moves the sand about, showing the most unusual colors. One of the most astonishing and variable parts of Death Valley is the Devil s Golf Course, where it seems hard for one to tell reality from terrible dreams. Sand sculptures(沙雕) stand on a frightening ground, as evening shadows move and lengthen. 41. _ is the lowest place in the desert. A. Tomesha B. Death ValleyC. NevadaD. Badwater42.
