water used for agriculture Almost sixty percent of the world s freshwater withdrawals from rivers lakes and other water resources go toward irrigating fields Scientists are using biotechnology as well as traditional breeding methods to develop water saving crops to feed a growing world Tommy Carter is a plant scientist in North Carolina working for the Agricultural Research Service in the United States Department of Agriculture He leads Team Drought a group of researchers at five universities They have been using conventional breeding methods to develop soybeans that can grow well under dry conditions Tommy started working on drought resistant soybeans in 1981 His research has taken him as far as China where soybeans have been grown for thousands of years Farmers in the United States however have grown soybeans for only about a century Tommy Carter says the soybeans they grow are for the most part genetically similar More differences could better protect crops against climate changes that can reduce production Those changes include water shortages which could increase from global warming The Agriculture Department has a soybean germplasm collection 种质收集 a collection of genetic material passed from one generation to the next Members of Team Drought studied more than 2 500 examples from the collection They looked at those from Asia and searched for germplasms that could keep plants from weakening and wilting 枯萎 during hot dry summers in the United States Tommy says they found only five but these slow wilting lines can produce more than normal soybeans under drought conditions The team is now doing field tests The first breeding line is expected to be released next year for use by private seed companies and public soybean breeders Scientists are also working on other crop plants that either use less water or use it better or both 56 The scientists are developing the crop plants because A traditional crop plants can t grow under dry conditions B only biotechnology could lead to a success in this area C irrigating fields has used almost 60 of our freshwater D we need new crops to save more water than ever before 57 From the passage we know that Tommy Carter A is now teaching at five universities B organized Team Drought in 1981 C once went to China to study soybeans D discovered the genetic material of soybeans 58 According to the passage the five examples from Asia need less water under drought conditions because A soybeans have been grown in Asia for thousands of years B the germplasms are different from those of American soybeans C the history of soybeans growing in America is only a century D the problem of water shortages in Asia is much more serious 59 What will the writer most probably write about next 用心 爱心 专心 4 A Some other research on crops that use less water B The conclusion that less water is needed for soybeans C More information about Tommy Carter s new soybeans D The reason why the climate changes have taken place 60 The passage is mainly talking about A conventional methods of plants breeding B efforts to develop crops using less water C the history of soybeans growing in ChinaD what some

researchers have found As part of a research to compare science education in China and the US Lei Bao a professor from the Department of Physics of the Ohio State University gave 5 760 freshmen in three US and four Chinese universities two tests to evaluate content knowledge and another to assess scientific reasoning Though Chinese students did better than their US counterparts in the first two tests that emphasized on learning facts both groups scored relatively poorly on the third test designed to assess their ability to systematically explore a problem the results showed Lei Bao said that the finding challenges conventional wisdom which holds that teaching science facts will improve Students reasoning ability Our study shows that contrary to what many people would expect even when students are thoroughly taught the facts they don t necessarily develop the reasoning skills they need to succeed Bao said Because students need both knowledge and reasoning we need to explore teaching methods that target both The current education systems and assessment of China and the US do not emphasize on deep understanding of scientific reasoning in the disciplines of science technology engineering and mathematics STEM the study concluded Bao explained that reasoning is a good skill for everyone to possess not just scientists and engineers The general public also need good reasoning skills in order to correctly interpret scientific findings and think rationally STEM students need to excel at scientific reasoning in order to handle open ended real world tasks in their future careers in science and engineering How to boost scientific reasoning The study suggests that educators must go beyond teaching science facts if they hope to boost students reasoning ability Bao points to inquirybased learning where students work in groups question teachers and design their own investigations This teaching technique is growing in popularity worldwide 61 According to the research we know that A Chinese students and their US counterparts did poorly in the first two tests B Chinese students did better than their US counterparts in all the three tests C Chinese students did better than their US counterparts in the first two tests D US students did better than their Chinese counterparts in the third test 62 The conventional wisdom holds that A the more facts students are taught the more reasoning skills they will 用心 爱心 专心 5 acquire B the general public also need reasoning skills to interpret scientific findings C to boost students reasoning ability educators must explore teaching methods D the current education systems are harmful to improve students reasoning ability 63 Based on the study what will be done to improve students reasoning ability A To improve teaching techniques B To better students learning conditions C To teach students more science facts D To offer students more tests 64 The underlined phrase excel at in Paragraph 6 probably means A be worse at B be better at C he enthusiastic about D be inferior to 65 Which of the following is correct according to the passage A Little needs to be done to develop students reasoning ability in the US B Only scientists and engineers need reasoning abilities C Two tests were carried out to evaluate students scientific reasoning D Inquiry based learning is a good way to boost students reasoning ability C C 2009 年日照检测 A Alice watched from her brother s New Orleans house as Hurricane Katrina split trees broke windows and swallowed cars including her own A few miles away her best friend Pat

年潍坊第二次检测 I quit the game WOW a couple of years ago My life has improved dramatically I went from being single to being engaged I received a second promotion in my career and life couldn t be better But even then I still had an urge to play and I thought about it every day About a month ago I decided to start playing again My friends still played and claimed that it s better than before So I figured I d give it a shot and so far I ve managed my time well But the funny thing is that I m not enjoying it as much as I thought I would That sense of accomplishment I used to have back then is gone I figured out why My enjoyment in the game came from progression I loved accomplishing quests hitting 60 and then beating the bosses with 40 other people Some nights sucked 糟透了 when nothing was done But other nights when we beat the hell out of a main boss it felt incredible I was actually progressing and improving in something It may not have been real life but it was there on my screen and it was visible for all to see But now I ve actually pursued tangible goals and realized the sense of accomplishment in WOW is worthless I don t get excited when the list of epic drops from a boss is sent to me from my friends I haven t even been interested in getting a flying mount or PVP gear I just don t really care about them I actually don t care about anything that happens in the game except for some quests 1 out of every 10 quests you do has an enjoyable story that makes it more interesting But even so they are what you can get out of a book or a good single player game Even though WOW is enjoyable in some aspects it s extremely boring in others Now to me above all it s not worth my time to go through it 71 The underlined it in Paragraph 2 refers to 用心 爱心 专心 7 A the game B the urge C the promotion D the goal 72 Why did the writer quit the game a couple of years ago A Because he found much more fun from other games B Because he couldn t get progression sometimes C Because he followed his girlfriend s advice D This passage doesn t tell us 73 According to the passage we can infer that A WOW has changed greatly B WOW is attractive to everybody C the writer was once addicted to WOW D WOW helps you improve your life 74 What s the only part of the game the writer is now interested in A A flying mount B A main boss C Some quests D Epic drops 75 What can be concluded from the
