23、0小题,每小题2分,满分40分）AIn 1987, while serving as the public affairs officer at Fort Bragg, I would frequently visit the local high schools to speak to the students about the Army. As a lieutenant colonel(中校), I found it particularly rewarding to talk with the teenagers about the benefits of military servi
24、ce, if only for a few years of their lives.During one of these visits, I reported to the secretary in the principals office to let her know that I was here for the third-period class. I was a little surprised when she told me. “The principal would like to see you before you go to the class.”As I ent
25、ered his office, I was greeted by a gentleman who appeared to be in his late thirties, and he welcomed me with a smile and a handshake. “You dont remember me, do you?” he said.I looked closely at the face again and could not recall where we may have met before.“You were my company commander in basic
26、 training at Fort Jackson in 1970,” the principal said.“Let me help you out,” he suggested. “You gave me a three-day pass to go home and see my newborn baby.” I immediately remembered the incident!“Yes,” I said. “I remember now.” It was the only three-day pass I had issued because the soldiers were
27、on their way to Vietnam immediately after they finished training. But I knew if I did not let him go home to see his son and something happened to him, I would regret denying the opportunity he had to be with his family.“Come on, Colonel. Id like to introduce you to the baby. Hes in your third-perio
28、d class. By letting me go see him, you gave me a reason to stay focused and to come home safe from that war.

Now, she has found her role in the ocean, surfing with a disabled teen.Patrick Iv
32、ison, 15, suffered a severe injury in a car accident when he was 14 months old. He has been disabled since, but the Californian boy never gave up on the goal of walking. He recently took his first steps. When Ivison first met Ricochet, the two immediately hit it off. To raise money for Ivisons physi
33、cal therapy(治疗), which is not covered by insurance, it was suggested that the pair take up surfing. Ivison said that when he first heard the idea he thought, “We are completely out of our minds.”But from the start, the two took to surfing naturally. With the help of his mom, Jennifer Kayler, and fri
34、ends, who carry Patrick to the ocean and guide the extra-large surfboard into the waters, Ivison rides the waves with his pal standing on the back. “Its kind of like a grand performance out there,” Ivison said of the group of people who help him out. The dog helps to balance out the board The teen r

39、ve already mastered half the basic vocabulary of the Campbells monkey, which lives in the forests of the Tai National Park in Ivory Coast. The adult males have six types of call, each with a specific meaning, but they can mix two or more calls together into a message with a different meaning.Having
40、spent months recording the monkeys calls in response to both natural and artificial stimuli (刺激物), a group led by Klaus Zuberbuhler of the University of St. Andrews in Scotland argues that the Campbells monkeys have a certain form of syntax(句法).This is likely to be controversial because despite grea
41、t effort to teach chimpanzees(大猩猩) language, they showed little or no ability to combine the sounds they learned into a sentence with a larger meaning. Syntax, basic to the structure of language, uniquely belongs to humans.“Krak” is a call that warns of leopards in the neighborhood. The monkeys give
42、 it in response to real leopards and to leopard shouting broadcast by the researchers. The monkeys can vary the call by adding “-oo”: “Krak-oo” seems to be a general word for hunter, but one given in a special context when monkeys hear but dont see a hunter, or when they hear the alarm calls of anot
43、her species.The “boom-boom” call invites other monkeys to come toward the male making the sound. Two booms can be combined with a series of “krak-oos”, with a meaning entirely different to that of either of its single parts. “Boom boom krak-oo krak-oo krak-oo” is the monkeys version of “Timber!” it
44、warns of falling trees.If Zuberbuhler is correct, the Campbells monkeys can both vary the meaning of specific calls by adding something and combine calls to make a different meaning.64. What is the passage mainly about? A. A group of scientists.B. Calls of Campbells monkeys.C. The lifestyle of monke
45、ys.D. The importance of language.65. According to the passage, chimpanzees . A. dont communicate by soundsB. only understand simple sentencesC. fail to learn language from humansD. are not related to the Campbells monkeys66. If the Campbells monkeys hear a lions shouting, they will call “ ”. A. Krak
46、B. BoomC. Boom boom krak-oo krak-oo krak-oo D. Krak-oo67. According to the passage, it seems that . A. Zuberbuhler has spent years in the forestsB. the writer isnt sure of Zuberbuhlers opinionsC. the Campbells monkeys are cleverer than other animalsD. the Campbells monkeys can express six meanings b
47、y callsDEven before they start school, many young girls worry that they are fat. But a new study suggests watching a movie starring a stereotypically(模式化地)thin and beautiful princess may not increase childrens anxieties.Nearly half of the 3 to 6 year old girls in a study by Professor Stacey Tantleff
48、-Dunn and doctoral student Sharon Hayes said they worry about being fat. About one-third would change a physical feature, such as their weight or hair color.The number of girls worried about being fat at such a young age concerns Tantleff-Dunn because of the potential effects later in life. Studies
49、have shown young girls worried about their body image are more likely to suffer from eating disorders when they are older.The encouraging news for parents is that taking their young daughters to see the new Disney film “The Princess and the Frog” isnt likely to influence how they see their bodies.“T
50、he media have a great effect on how young girls see their bodies. Thats why its important for parents to use movies such as The Princess and the Frog, to start conversations with their children about weight, skin color and their views of beauty. They can explain that princesses tiny waists are not r
51、ealistic for girls and that children dont need Cinderellas golden hair or Snow Whites porcelain(瓷制的) skin to look good,” Tantleff-Dunn said.“We need to help our children challenge the images of beauty, particularly thinness, that they see and idolize, and encourage them to question how much appearan
52、ce should be part of their self-worth,” said Tantleff-Dunn. “We should help them build a positive self-image with an appreciation for many different types of body features.” And as their childrens most important role models, parents also should avoid criticizing their own bodies.68. Tantleff-Dunn wo
53、rries that young girls caring too much about their appearance may . A. have diet trouble in the futureB. cause trouble when they are olderC. have mental problems later in life D. have difficulty in communication69.
