22、ucation at the University of Illinois, said that four-year-olds engaged in reading and writing went on to perform worse academically than those engaged in imaginative learning. They scored higher in tests at the age of 5, but children whose first year at school was stimulating outstripped them four

23、years later.The findings suggest that the governments structured approach to early years learning could be storing up problems for children. They also raise serious questions about the plan for all children to be able to read by the age of 6.In many countries formal teaching does not start until chi

24、ldren are 6 or 7 and have improved their social and manual skills. Children start learning to read and write at 6 in the United States, France and Germany, and at 7 in Finland and Sweden.Professor Katz said that in many schools the courses were boring children to tears.

25、ed children to learn by memorizing pieces of information out of context, she said. Teaching in reception class should instead allow children to develop their intellect by exploring their environments and asking questions.Research suggests the benefits of formal academic instruction for four-and five

26、-year-olds seem to be promising when they are tested early, but considerably less so in the long term. When these children are followed over a period of three or more years, those who had early experience in more intellectually engaging curricula were more likely to do well in school than their peer

27、s, who had received early academic instruction. She advocates teaching children through first-hand experience and play, in mixed-aged classes.

31、ful and easy in teaching children.BA new weapon is on the way in the fight against smoking in Europe. Soon when smokers buy cigarettes, they might see a shocking photo of a blackened lung or a cancer patient staring back at them from the packet.Some boys may think of smoking as cool and sexy. Their

32、friends wont agree when they see their packets of cigarettes lying on the table. The European Union announced on October 22, that it had chosen 42 photos that showed the damage cigarettes could do to the body. It called on member nations to put these pictures on packets to discourage young smokers.

33、To catch the attention of teenagers, the special packets warn of long-term medical dangers, like cancer. Short-term effects, like bad skin, are also on the list.“The true fact of smoking is disease, death and horror. That is the message we should send to the young,” said David Byrne, an EU health of

34、ficial. “Hopefully these pictures will shock students out of their love for cigarettes.”The EU head office hoped the pictures would work better than current written warnings on packs of cigarettes. The warning included “smoking kills” and “smoking can lead to a slow and painful death.”So far, Irelan

35、d and Belgium have shown interest in the photos. Canada has used similar pictures and warnings on cigarette packs since 2000. The country has recently seen a fall in the number of smokers.

39、h and breadth of the United Kingdom, the Icelandic volcanic eruption seems to create even more disruption and chaos. The major eruption from this massive volcano has halted almost 500,000 people a day who wanted to fly in and out of the UK due to all flights being suspended. The last time an event t

40、ook place on such a large scale was roughly around two hundred years ago, but as aircraft were not a factor then it had almost no effects at all, and the last time domestic flights were delayed for any length of time was in the Second World War.A cloud of volcanic ash has risen 20,000 feet into the

41、sky from a major eruption in Iceland which lies 700 miles north of the United Kingdom, so why would an event like this create so much fuss for Britons and parts of Europeans?Volcanic ash contains tiny particles of glass and sulphur（硫）, which when sucked into an aircrafts jet engine can cause the eng

42、ine to stop. This is the time when you can imagine a pretty catastrophic event to happen. Back in 1982 an incident involving a jet aircraft and volcanic ash did exactly that. The ash caused all engines to fail and it was only thanks to the skill of the pilot that everyone on board managed to survive

43、.So the governing bodies of the airways have decided to cease all air traffic that could be affected by the cloud of volcanic ash as it is carried by a southward wind down from the north of Scotland across the entire length and breadth of the UK across the English Channel and over Europe.On land the

44、re have been statements that there is no danger to humans, but people with asthma and respiratory diseases should stay indoors.The Iceland volcano that has erupted is apparently not the only one that is worrying scientists, and there is another volcano which is the Mount Etna. So if it erupted anyti

45、me soon with the wind blowing south, an ash cloud from that one would cause long-term devastation（破坏）and disruption for a very long time. Fingers crossed, then.54. What time was it when domestic flights were suspended the last time due to volcanic eruption?A. About 200 years ago.C. During World War

46、Two.B. Back in 1982.D. In the 1950s.55. What does the writer try to do in the fourth paragraph? A. To explain British peoples concern about the eruption. B. To show that British people are very kind. C. To tell us what is contained in volcanic ash. D. To show the urgent demand for skilled pilots.56.

47、 Which of the following people would be affected by volcanic ash?A. People with blood problems. C. People with headaches.B. People with heart trouble.D. People with breathing problems.57. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. We humans should be ready for more volcanos. B. Another volcanic e

48、ruption is just going to take place soon. C. The Volcano of Mount Etna would be very destructive. D. Scientists can do nothing to stop volcanic eruptions.DLook closely at the palms of your hands and fingertips. See all the tiny lines? Each of us is born with a unique set of prints, but it may surpri

49、se you to learn why we have them. Palm lines are not for fortune-tellers to figure out how long we will live, nor are fingerprints there to make a policemans job easier. In fact, the lines and circles that decorate our hands and feet are an evolutionary gift from nature, and they serve two important

50、 functions.Our prints are made of raised and lowered skin. The raised areas function somewhat like the tread(纹)of car tires or the rubber soles（胶底）of our running shoes. When we touch something that is wet, water moves from these “hills” into the “valleys”, which means some surfaces on our skin remai

51、n relatively dry. This is useful, for it allows us to better grip the things we want to hold.Our prints help us hold on, but they also have a secondary function: protection. The raised areas serve as buffers(缓冲物)between our skin and an object, keeping us from getting hurt every time we grip the hard

52、 surface of a bottle or a baseball bat. This is the same reason why, when we walk too far or wear uncomfortable shoes, we get blisters on the soft skin of our ankles, but never on our heels, like our palms and fingers, which have prints to protect them.It is the random(任意的)flow of fluids inside our

53、mothers wombs that causes these useful patterns to form on the surface of our hands and feet. Because they are formed randomly, each persons prints are unique, which makes prints accidentally useful as a means of distinguishing between people. Even identical twins have different prints, which means

54、that no mistakes can be made in determining who did a crime, provided fingerprints or toe prints were left at the scene.58. Where cant you find the tiny lines? _.A. PalmsB. FingerprintsC. Heels D. Ankles.59. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. The tiny lines are the results of

55、evolution.B. From ones fingerprints, we can guess his character.C. Different people have different prints in their fingertips.D. The prints play an important role in our life.60. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Fingertips can help us hold on to things better. B. There are no prints on our heels.C. The prints can make our palm dry.D. Prints can protect us from getting hurt.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从下框的A-F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。 选项中有一项为多余选项。A. The absorbing nourishment（营养）of cellsB. Each organ of body can work individuallyC.
