Insects of all kinds have existed on earth formillions of years. Sometimes we t

Besides, insects, especially the social (22) _, are fascinating.One very interesting and useful social insect is the honey bee.

16、 Bees (23) (consider) social insects because they live and work together. The bee lives in a beehive with other worker bees, and with the queen, who can lay thousands of eggs a day. The worker bees make wax used (24) (create) new cells inside the hive. Humans use this valuable beeswaxpolish, and oth

22、ntly I. genetic J. lacked K. strengthenSome personal characteristics play a vital role in the development of one s int elligence. After a 30-year follow-up study of 8, 000 males, American psychologists found out that the main cause of disparities in intelligence is not intelligence itself, but nonin

23、telligence factors. The so-called “non-intelligence factors ” include one s feelings, will, (31) , interests and habits.Though people all know that one should have (32) objectives, a strong will and good learning habits, quite a number of teachers and parents don t pay much attention to (33) _these

24、factors.Some parents are greatly worried when their children fail to do well in their studies. They blame either (34) factors, malnutrition, or laziness, but they never take into consideration these nonintelligence factors. At the same time, some teachers don t inquireinto these as reasons why stude

25、nts do poorly. They simply give them more courses and exercises, or even (35) or laugh at them. After all, these students lose self-confidence. Some of them just feel defeated and give themselves up as hopeless. Others may go astray because they are sick of learning. An investigation of more than 1

26、, 000 middle school students in Shanghai showed that 46. 5 percent of them were afraidof learningbecause of examination and 36. 4 percent (36)persistence, initiative and conscientiousness.It is clear that the lack of cultivation of non-intelligence factors has been a main obstacle to intelligence de

27、velopment in teenagers. It even causes a(n) (37) between physiological and psychological development among a few students.If we dont start now to (38)the cultivation of nonintelligence factors, it will not only obstruct the development of the intelligence of teenagers, but also affect the (39) of a

28、whole generation. Some experts have put forward suggestions about how to cultivate st udents non-intelligence factors.First,parents and teachers should (40)understand teenagepsychology. Onthis basic, they can helpthem to pursue theobjectives of learning, exciting their interests and toughening their

29、 willpower.Reading ComprehensionSection A (15%)Directions : For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B, C and D.

Dr. Alanna Levine spoke to Debbye Turner Bell on “The Early ShoW about how to (44) the back for the holiday season.The first (45) Dr. Levine gave was about carrying heavy shopping bags.

38、 , B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)One of the many interesting features of American society is the prestige granted to business institutions. Their status is arguably greater than that of any other kind of organization

39、including, orperhaps especially, the government. What exactlyis itaboutAmericans that makes them place business on such a high social level and admire the successful business person so openly?One possible explanation could be that Americans view business as being more firmly based on the concept of

40、competition than other institutions in their society. Fair and open competition is an ideal long cherished, one could even say deep rooted in American political and economic life. It is seen as the source of progress, prosperity and opportunity. In fact, in the American psyche, the importance of fre

41、e competition goes even deeper than that ； free competition is the means by which other defining values such as democracy and individual liberty are achieved and ensured.In American eyes, competition protects the freedom of the individual by ensuring that there is no monopoly of power, either econom

42、ic or political. As in politics, where the government is dividedinto branches, each with powers that offset those of theothers,businesses compete against each other for profits. The ideabeing that if one business tries to take unfair advantage of its customers, it will lose to competitors who treat

43、their customers more fairly. In theory, where many businesses compete for the customers dollars ， the interests of the consumer will be paramount.Competition in business is also believed to strengthen the American ideal of equality of opportunity. It is seen as an open and beneficial contest where s

44、uccess goes to the fittest ； to those most deserving of it.11 / 13Competitive success is commonly seen as the American alternative to social rank based on inherited status. In America, accomplishment in business and the accumulation of wealth and power thereby is viewedin the same light as an aristo

45、cratic ancestry once was in the Old World.According to the passage, business achievement in America _.is losing the respect of the societyhas always been highly regardedis second only to public service in social statushas been viewed differently over the years.In the American view, who benefits from

46、 business competition?A. The wealthy.B. The government.C. The dishonest businessman.D. The society as a whole.Government and business are said to be similar for what reason?Both are considered untrustworthy.B. Both primarily benefit thewealthy.C. Both are based on competition. D. Both have a monopol

47、y on power. 59. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage about what Americans believe?A. Competition is generally fair.Competition should be limited to business.Competition should be regulated by the government.Competition does not benefit the poor.(B)To： David RodgersFrom： Mavis Chen

48、Subject ： getting back our old subscribersSince the marketing meeting yesterday, it occurred to me that we might be ignoring one potentially important source of subscribers. We have focused so intently on how to expand the appeal of our product to groups that have never used it before that I m afrai

49、d we may have overlooked the obvious ； we may have forgotten that there is a whole group of interested people who have used it and stopped for one reason or another.This target group has particularly good potential because it consists of readers who have demonstrated interest in the subject matter w

50、e present. Their interest is not something we have to work to stimulate. I suggest that making a maximum effort to win these readers back will be more effective on a percentage basis than pursuing some of the other groups we ve identified.Since these readers quit using our product once, they were mo

51、st likely dissatisfied with some aspect of our presentation or ourpricing. Our new product will be vastly improvedover the oldversion and is priced more competitively. We need to do 13 / 13 / 13 / 13everything possible to get those points across, perhaps by sending them a free issue and by asking fo

52、r their opinions on how we might improve it even further. This could be in the form of a very shortsurvey, either included with the free issue or accessible online.If you think this idea has merit and might be willing to authorize it, let s discuss it further when you ve got a few spare minutes. I h

53、ave a rough draft of the survey questions I could show you.What kind of product is the writer referring to in the memo?A. A web-based information service. B. A magazine.C. A consulting service.D. Computer software.Why is the writer confident that they can win back their old customers?Their product h

54、as no competition.Their product has changed dramatically.They have reduced the price of their productThe need for their product has increased.What does the writer want to do?A. Start her plan immediately.B. Wait for input from the survey.C. Get Mr. Rodgers approval.D. Present her idea in the next me

55、eting.(C)In the world of entertainment, TV talk shows have undoubtedly flooded every inch of space on daytime television. And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one varies in style and format.But no two shows are more profoundly opposite in content, while at the same time standing out

56、 above the rest, than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows.Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of“trashtalk ”. The topics on his show are as shocking as shocking can be.For example, the show takes the ever common talk show themes of love, sex, cheating, guilt, hate, conflict

57、 and morality to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is a display and exploitation ofsociety s moral catastrophes, yet people are willing to eat up the intriguing predicaments of other people s lives.Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its extreme, but Oprah goes

58、 in the opposite direction. The show focuses on the improvement of society and an individual s quality of life.Topics range from teaching your children responsibility, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors.Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste bei

59、ng dumped on society. Jerry ends every show with a“finalword” . He makes a small speech that sums up the entire moral of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The show smain target audiences are

60、middle-class Americans. Most of these peoplehave the time ， money, and stability to deal with life s tougherproblems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of anassociation with the young adults of society. These are 18 to 21 yearolds whose main troubles in life involve love, relationship, sex
