Stories go all the way from the technical to the romantic, from stage to screen. There will be reports of the stars of the moment, the stars of the future and the stars of the past. The director with his new film, the designer with the latest fashion, and the musician with the popular song are part of the new Outlook. The program is introduced by Fran Levine.9:00 PMDiscoveryWhen a 10-year-old boy gets a first class degree in mathematics or an 8-year-old boy plays chess like a future grand master, they are considered as geniuses. Where does the quality of genius come from? Is it all in the genes(基因) or can any child be turned into a genius? And if parents do have a child who might become a genius in the future, what should they do? In this 30-minute film, Barry Johnson, the professor at School of Medicine, New York University, will help you discover the answer.10:00 PMScience/HealthIs it possible to beat high blood pressure without drugs? The answer is “yes”, according to the researchers at Johns Hopkins and three other medical centers. After a study of 800 persons with high blood pressure, they found that after 6 months, those devoted to weight-loss exercise and eating a low-salt, low-fat food lost about 13 pounds and became fitter. Plus, 35% of them dropped into the “normal” category(范畴). This week, Dr Alan Duckworth will tell you how these people reduce their blood pressure to a level similar to whats achieved with hypertension（高血压） drugs.21.

Six months of exercise without drugs. D. Low-salt and low-fat food.BStudents should be able to show what they know. Many folks take this as a self-evident truth. But I think it demands closer examination.Possessing a skill or piece of knowledge is not the same thing as being able to show it. This is why many smart young people hate school. Understanding, figuring out, and getting a handle on a piece of knowledge is really exciting, but having to prove to somebody else that you understand is a big fat pain in the neck.Finding proof of student learning is a huge part of the teachers job, and whether it is done poorly or not makes all the difference in that teachers effectiveness. There is a huge difference between “How do I figure out if this student understands” and “How do I make this student prove to me he gets it.” The first is a valuable approach; the second is the first step on the road toward wasting everybodys time.And theres the problem. If we start with the assumption (假定) that a student who knows must be able to show his knowledge to our satisfaction, we will be traveling down the wrong road. The more we demand that students prove to us that they know the stuff, the more we will design artificial tasks that demand a set of skills and knowledge entirely different from the skills and knowledge we really want to measure.As a classroom teacher, I have to remember that the burden is on me to find a way to see what my students know; the burden is not on them to put on whatever trained monkey show I design for my own ease and convenience.It may not be the worst thing ever to say “Students should be able to show what they know.” But I think its far more useful to say, Teachers should be able to discover what students know.24. What does the underlined phrase in the second paragraph mean?A. Very dangerous. B. Very annoying.C. Very difficult. D. Very frequent.25. What does the author think of the artificial tasks designed to test students learning?A. They should be limited in number.B. They are a huge burden on teachers.C. They should mainly focus on effectiveness.D. They slide away from their original purpose.26. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Students should be able to show what they know.B. There are many ways to find proof of student learning.C. Teachers should be able to discover what students know.D. There should be better understanding between teachers and students.CThe days of the hunter are almost over in India. This is partly because there is practically nothing left to kill, and partly because some steps have been taken, mainly by banning tiger-shooting, to protect those animals which still survive.Some people say that Man is naturally a hunter. I disagree with this view. Surely our earliest forefathers, who at first possessed no weapons, spent their time digging for roots, and were no doubt themselves often hunted by meat-eating animals.I believe the main reason why the modern hunter kills is that he thinks people will admire his courage in overpowering dangerous animals. Of course, there are some who truly believe that the killing is not really the important thing, and that the chief pleasure lies in the joy of the hunt and the beauties of the wild countryside. There are also those for whom hunting in fact offers a chance to prove themselves and risk death by design; these men go out after dangerous animals like tigers, even if they say they only do it to rid the countryside of a threat. I can respect reasons like these, but they are clearly different from the need to strengthen your high opinion of yourself. The greatest big-game hunters expressed in their writings something of these finer motives. One of them wrote.“You must properly respect what you are after and shoot it cleanly and on the animals own territory(领地). You must fix forever in your mind all the wonders of that particular day. This is better than letting him grow a few years older to be attacked and wounded by his own son and eventually eaten, half alive, by other animals. Hunting is not a cruel and senseless killing - not if you respect the thing you kill, not if you kill to enrich your memories, not if you kill to feed your people.”I can understand such beliefs, and can compare these hunters with those who hunted lions with spears(矛) and bravely caught them by the tail. But this is very different from many tiger-shoots I have seen, in which modern weapons were used. The so-called hunters fired from tall trees or from the backs of trained elephants. Such methods made tigers seem no more dangerous than rabbits.27. There is no more hunting in India now partly because_.A. it is dangerous to hunt there B. hunting is already out of dateC. hunters want to protect animals D. there are few animals left to hunt28. The author thinks modern hunters kill mainly_.A. to make the countryside safe B. to earn peoples admirationC. to gain power and influence D. to improve their health29. What do we learn about the big-game hunters?A. They hunt old animals B. They mistreat animalsC. They hunt for food D. They hunt for money30. What is the authors view on the tiger-shoots he has seen?A. Modern hunters lack the courage to hunt face-to-faceB. Modern hunters should use more advanced weaponsC. Modern hunters like to hunt rabbits instead of tigersD. Modern hunters should put their safety first第二节（共5题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Everyone wants to perform well at school. Add these tips to your life and you should be on your way to being a top student!_31_ I cannot stress how important it is to pay attention to what your teacher is teaching you. Take part in class discussions if you have something worth adding. Pay attention during class, especially during lectures.Taking notes is important. You dont need to write down every single word your teacher says but write down what he or she writes on the board, or any special fact you think you might need for a test. _32_ This way it will help you learn more effectively by actually thinking about what you are writing.Dont skip school. You will be missing out on stuff. _33_ However, you will have more work and you have missed lectures. Also, try not to be late for class. Its most likely that your teacher wont appreciate it and you will get yourself behind._34_ If you have an “ I dont care about school or this class ” attitude, then teachers will be less willing to help you with problems or offer you extra credit. The same goes for lazy attitude. Have a respectful attitude to the teacher and other students. Try not to laugh when other students make mistakes.Always ask questions. _35_ If you dont understand, ask someone. Read your textbook and notes, and then if that fails, seek help. Ask a teacher, friend, classmate, parent, etc. Get a tutor if you need one.A. Be prepared.B. Write in your own words.C. Pay attention to everything the teacher says.D.
