26、，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。AThe American book Who Moved My Cheese has been a bestseller all over the world. It teaches people how to face changes in their lives. Now its author Spence Johnson has written a book just for teens. The book tells us that when facing change in our lives, lik
27、e a new school or new friends, dont be afraid. Instead, use this change to make a better life. The book gives an example of a change at school. A school is changing from having two terms to three terms because there are too many students.Several teens are talking about this. Most of them are unhappy
28、 and worried. But Chris is not. He laughs and tells a story about two mice, two “little people” and some cheese.The four are in a maze looking for the cheese. Here, cheese means something important in life, like moving to a new class or getting into college. But they find the cheese is gone. The mic
29、e realize that they cant change what has happened and have to find more cheese. This means finding different dreams. The little people, however, cant do this. They are afraid of change so they find no cheese. After Chris finishes the story, the friends understand one thing: to get more cheese, move
30、in a new direction quickly. His friends understand how this can be used in the changes all teens face, such as doing well at school or having good relationships or just feeling good about yourself. 56.

31、only in America D. loved only by teens57. What does the text mainly discuss? A. Never change in our life. B. Change whenever you like . C. Change with the changes. D.

32、D. readers59. In our lives, we should learn from _. A. mice B. little people C. Chris D. Spence JohnsonBAbout six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table, I couldnt help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one poin
33、t the woman asked, “So, how have you been?” And the boywho could not have been more than seven or eight years oldreplied. “Frankly, Ive been feeling a little depressed lately.” This incident stuck in my mind because it confirmed my growing belief that children are changing. As far as I can remember,
34、 my friends and I didnt find out we were “depressed”, that is, in low spirits, until we were in high school. Undoubtedly a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children dont seem childlike anymore. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adu
35、lts than they used to. Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different. Childhood as it once was no longer exists. Why? Human development depends not only on born biological states, but also on patterns of gaining social knowledge. Movement from one social role to anot
36、her usually involves learning the secrets of the new social positions. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages; traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders. In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation（揭示） machine has been equi
37、pped in 98 percent of American homes. It is called television. Television passes information to all viewers alike, whether they are children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation （诱惑）, many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more attractive moving pictures
38、.Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information which children will gain. Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials.60. According to the author, feeling depressed is _. A. a sure sign of a mental problem i
39、n a child B. a mental state present in all humans, including children C. something that cannot be avoided in childrens mental development D. something hardly to be expected in a young child61. According to the author, that todays children seem adult-like results from _. A. the widespread influence o
40、f television B. the poor arrangement of teaching content C. the fast pace of human scientific development D. the rising standard of living62. What does the author think of communication through print for children? A. It enables children to gain more social information. B. It develops childrens inter
41、est in reading and writing. C. It helps children to read and write well. D. It can control what children are to learn.63. What does the author think of the change in todays children? A. He feels their adult-like behavior is so funny. B. He thinks the change worthy of note. C. He considers it a rapid
42、 development. D. He seems to be upset about it. CSheep Smarter than ThoughtLondonSheep, like turkeys and ostriches, are not considered the most clever animals. British scientists said last Wednesday humans may have underestimated the woolly creature. They could be much smarter than we think.Research
43、ers at the Babraham Institute in Cambridge, southern England, have shown that the animals have a good memory system and are extremely good at recognizing faceswhich they think is a sure sign of intelligence.Behavioral scientist Keith Kendrick and his friends trained 20 sheep to recognize and disting
44、uish 25 pairs of sheep faces and used electrodes (电极) to measure their brain activity , which showed they could remember 50 faces for up to two years .“If they can do that with faces, they have to have reasonable intelligence; otherwise, what is the point of having a system for remembering faces and
45、 not remembering anything else?” Kendrick said in an interview.So hours of seemingly mindless eating grass may not be so mindless after all.Kendrick believes sheep got their reputation as dumb (unable to speak, unintelligent) animals because they live in large groups and do not appear to have much i
46、ndividuality and are frightened of just about everything. “All animals, including humans, once they are frightened, dont tend to show signs of intelligent action,” he explained.In research reported in the science journal Nature, Kendrick and his team showed that sheep, like humans, have a specialize
47、d system in the brain which allows them to distinguish between many different faces which look extremely similar.“The most important finding (of the study) is that they are able , both from a behavioral point of view and from looking at the way the brain is organized , to remember a large number of
48、individuals for a very long time,” said Kendrick. “It is a very strange system. They are showing similar abilities in many ways to humans.”64From the first paragraph we can find that_. .Apeople used to think sheep are smarter than the other animals Bpeople used to raise sheep in a wrong way Cpeople
49、dont consider sheep as clever animalsDpeople have done a lot of research on sheep 65From what Kendrick said in the interview we learn that_. .Ascientists have learned everything about sheeps intelligence Bscientists have learned a little about sheeps intelligence Cscientists cant do anything more ab
50、out sheeps memory Dscientists do not have to research animals memory 66As is known in the passage,_.Asheep are among the week animals Bit is not right for people to raise sheep in groups Cwhen sheep eat grass in the field their minds may be active Dif people feel frightened, they may become braverD
51、Fear and its companion pain are two of the most useful things that men and animals possess, if they are properly used. If fire did not hurt when it burnt, children would play with it until their hands were burnt away. Similarly, if pain existed but fear didnt, a child would burn himself or herself a
52、gain and again, because fear would not warn himself or herself to keep away from the fire that had burnt himself or herself before. A really fearless soldierand some do exist is not a good soldier because he is soon killed; and a dead soldier is of no use to his army. Fear and pain are therefore two
53、 guards without which men and animals might soon die out. In our first sentence we suggested that fear should be properly used. If, for example, you never go out of your house because of the danger of being knocked down and killed in the street by a car, you are letting fear rule you too much. Even
54、in your house you are not absolutely safe: an aeroplane may crash on your house, or ants may eat away some of the beams in your roof so that the latter falls on you, or you may get cancer!The important thing is not to let fear rule you, but instead to use fear as your servant and guide. Fear will wa
55、rn you of dangers; then you have to decide what action to take. In many cases, you can take quick and successful action to avoid the danger. For example, you see a car coming straight towards you. Fear warns you, you jump out of the way, and all is well.In some cases, however, you decide that there
56、is nothing that you can do to avoid the danger. For example, you cant prevent an aeroplane crashing onto your house. In this case, fear has given you its warning; you have examined it and decided on your course of action, so fear of this particular danger is no longer of any use to you, and you have
57、 to try to overcome it.67. Children would play with fire until their hands were burnt away if _.A. they were given no warning beforehand B. they had never burnt themselvesC. they had no sense of pain D. they were fearful of the fire68. A really fearless soldier _. A. is of great use to the army B. i
58、s not a real soldier C. is nothing but a dead soldier D. easily gets killed in a battle69. People sometimes succeed in timely avoiding the danger because _. A. they have gained experience B. they jump out of the way in time C. they are calm in the face of danger D. they are warned of the danger by f
59、ear and take quick action70. Whats the writers suggestion when the danger cant be avoided? A. You have to try to overcome it. B. Fear can really help you to run away.C. Fear always helps you stay safe. D. Fear is of great use to you.第二节（共5小题；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。（请将答案
