A A newspaper in Helsinki Finland recently published a cartoon of a baby with a mobile phone telling his parents that his diaper 尿布 needed changing But it s hardly a joke Helsinki is home to Nokia the mobile phone maker It s one of the most mobile cities in the world About 92 percent of its households have at least one mobile phone And the kids start young A relatively normal age to get a mobile phone is now 7 says Jan Virkki marketing manager for a mobile phone company Among the second graders at the Kulosaari Elementary School the most popular object of desire this year is not a Barbie or a Gameboy It is a Nokia mobile phone with a picture of their own choice on the screen One of the first things we discuss when school starts is the rules for mobile phones says Tiia Korppi a teacher Among the rules You have to put it away out of sight You cannot turn it on You cannot send text messages to your friends or play amusing tunes 令人发笑的曲调 in class or call your parents or call for a pizza during history 56 The author uses the newspaper cartoon to show that A he is good at telling jokes 2003 年高考 北京 英语 第 7 页 共 12 页 B he cares much for children C mobile phones are toys for new born babies D mobile phones are widely used in Finland 57 The passage is mainly about A different uses of mobile phones B a successful mobile phone maker C effects of mobile phones on children D school rules for the use of mobile phones B If you dream of going someplace warm to escape the cold winter weather a trip to a recently discovered planet would certainly warm you right up The planet named OCLE TR 56b has temperatures of more than 3 000 F This is the hottest planet we know about says Dr Dimitar Sasselov a scientist who led the discovery team It is hot enough to have an iron fog and to rain hot iron droplets 细沫 The new planet is 30 times farther away than any planet discovered by scientists before It is in the Milky Way 银河 but it is not in our solar 太阳的 system The new planet moves around a star much like our sun however Seientists discovered the planet by using a new planet searching method called transit technique They were able to catch sight of the planet when it moved in front of its star causing the star s light to dim 变暗 Scientists compare the method to discovering the shadow of a bee flying in front of a searchlight 200 miles away We believe the door has heen opened wide to go and discover planets like Earth says Sasedlov 58 We can infer from the passage that A there is iron on the new planet B we could go to the new planet in winter C the star could block our view of the new planet D scientists are studying the weather on the new planet 59 The transit technique can A help dim the light of a star B help scientists with a searchlight C help discover a bee on a planet D help find a planet moving before its star 60 Which is the best title for the passage A New Planet searching TechniqueB New Distant Discovery C Space SearchingD Dream Planet C Elephants don t forget at least female 雌性的 elephants don t Elephant families are matriarchal And the social knowledge gained by the oldest females is the key to a family 2003 年高考 北京 英语 第 8 页 共 12 页 group s survival 生存 according to a study published in April by Karen McComb a biologist at Sussex University in England Elephants announce their presence by making a deep long sound a practice referred to as contact calling 联络呼叫 An unfamiliar call may mean that an elephant from outside the family group is nearby A stranger can cause trouble Interrupting feeding or disturbing the young So an elephant matriarch signals the family to gather around her then they all lift their trunks in the air to smell the unfamiliar caller False alarms can disturb the group and take time and energy away from feeding so survival may depend in part on getting it right Working with Cynthia Moss who founded the Amboseli Elephant Research Project in Kenya 30 years ago McComb tested the social knowledge of 21 Amboseli elephant families with matriarchs 27 to 67 years old She played recordings of contact calls to each family and found that the oldest matriarchs were much better at picking out unfamiliar calls In fact a group with a matriarch in her fifties was several thousand times more likely to form into a group upon hearing an unfamiliar contact call than when hearing a familiar call However families with younger matriarchs were less than twice as likely to gather together upon hearing an unfamiliar contact call as compared with a familiar call And they gathered together a lot Moreover the social knowledge of older matriarchs translated into favourable results Families with older matriarchs produced more baby elephants in each female reproductive year This finding shows how difficult it is to protect the oldest members of elephant families As elephants age they continue to grow larger as do their much wanted tusks 象牙 So the older and wiser a matriarch is the greater the chance she will be killed About 800 000 elephants have been killed by people in the past 20 years 61 What does the underlined word matriarch mean A An old member of an elephant family B A female head of an elephant family C A wise elephant D A large elephant 62 When do elephants form into a group A When they are feeding the young B When they see a familiar elephant C When they are giving birth to baby elephants D When the leading elephant gives out a warning 63 The research with recordings of contact calls shows A how fast elephants form into groups B how important the age of a leading elephant is C how frightened elephants are when hearing a strange call D how frequently old elephants call other members of the family 64 The older a female elephant is 2003 年高考 北京 英语 第 9 页 共 12 页 A the stronger she will be B the poorer memory she will have C the more useless her tusks will beD the more likely she will be killed 65 We can infer from the passage that elephants may A run into other elephant families B give wrong warnings to their mothers C run away open hearing a strange sound D produce more babies by gathering together often D If there is no difference in general intelligence 智力 between boys and girls what can explain girls poor performance in science and mathematics It seems to be that their treatment at school is a direct cause Mathematics and science are seen as subjects mainly for boys and therefore as girls become teenagers they are less likely to take them Interestingly both boys and girls often regard the subjects for boys as more difficult Yet it has been suggested that girls do not take mathematics courses not because they are difficult but for social reasons Girls do not want to be in open competition with boys because they are afraid to appear less feminine 女性的 and attractive However if we examine the performance of boys and girls who have taken mathematics courses there are still more high achieving boys than there are girls This difference appears to be world wide Biological explanations have been offered for this but there are other explanations too Perhaps the difference which comes out during the teenage years has its roots in much earlier experiences From their first days in kindergarten boys are enoouraged to work on their own and to complete tasks Facts show that outstanding 杰出的 mathematicians and scientists have not had teachers who supplied answers Besides there can be little doubt that teachers of mathematics and science expect their boy students to do better at these subjects than their girl students They even appear to encourage the difference between boys and girls They spend more time with the boy students giving them more time to answer questions and working harder to get correct answers from them They are more likely to call on boys for answers and to allow them to take the lead in classroom discussion They also praise boys more frequently All of this seems to encourage boys to work harder in science and mathematics and to give them confidence 信心 that they are able to succeed Such a way of teaching is not likely to encourage girls to take many mathematics and science courses nor is it likely to support girls who do When it comes to these subjects it seems certain that school widens the difference between boys and girls 66 Girls are likely to think that A science courses are for both boys and girls B science courses make them more popular C science courses make them successful D science courses are difficult for them 2003 年高考 北京 英语 第 10 页 共 12 页 67 The text mainly discusses reasons for the difference between boys and girls in scientific achievements A biologicalB historicalC socialD personal 68 What are boys usually encouraged to do at school A To get help with their homework B To play the leading role in class C To work with girl students in class D To learn to take care of others 69 What does the passage say about great mathematicians A Their teachers did not supply answers to them B They started learning mathematics at an earlier age C They showed mathematical abilities in their teenage years D Their success resulted from their strong interest in mathematics 70 The author would probably agree that A boys and girls learn in the same way B boys and girls are equal in general intelligence C girls are more confident in themselves than before D girls should take fewer science courses than boys E At first Kate thought the Romanian girl could not speak and understand English Nadia would not reply to anything Kate said Kate was in charge of showing Nadia around on her first day at Buckminster Grade School Kate could not figure out why the school had put Nadia in a class where she could not understand what people were saying Why did they do this Kate wondered aloud I mean you can t learn if you can t understand the teacher Nadia s voice was a whisper I understand English I will learn Nadia s English was perfect Kate was perplexed She couldn t understand why Nadia did not like to speak Then she realized that moring to a new country probably wasn t the easiest thing to do There were hundreds of unfamiliar and unusual things to learn all at the same time There re a lot of new things to learn huh said Kate Nadia nodded rapidly In a quiet voice she replied Many things people say I do not understand I have been speaking English and Romanian all my life but I do not know what some children are saying For example yesterday a boy asked if I could help him find the USB port on a thin black box he was carrying Isn t a port a place for ships It made no sense to me Don t worry said Kate You ll figure everything out in time You see that thin black box was a computer A USB port is a place where you can connect other machines to a computer Nadia and Kate were quiet after that They took notes while the teacher gave a maths lesson To Kate s surprise Nadia put up her hand and offered to answer questions at the blackboard Nadia handled every question the teacher gave her Some of the questions were really difficult and no one understood what was going on except Nadia and the teacher
