9、he events that come with traveling rodeos:bull riding,dressing and mutton busting.Mutton busting is like bull riding,but instead of bulls,they use sheep.And in place of the men,its children between six and ten years old who try to hang on for eight seconds.It took me all of five minutes to say yes t
10、o the idea of riding a sheep.Being seven years old,my decision-making ability was pretty limited.I figured I could ride a sheep as well as the next kid.Little did I know that I was in for a world of pain and embarrassment.My nerves were shaking the day of the rodeo.I hated being in front of crowds.I
11、 didnt like getting dirty;I didnt even like sheep,which I thought of as just dirty and smelly.Yet there I was,getting ready to ride one for eight seconds in front of hundreds of people.I wanted to run out of the field and hide in the hot car until it was over.But by the time this idea occurred to me
12、,it was too late.I was lifted away from my mother by a rodeo trainer and placed onto a platform.My feet went into the narrow pen(羊圈)first.I felt my shoes touch the dirty floor of the pen.Once I was balanced on the top of the sheep,the trainer let go and told me to lean forward.I did as he said.I cou
13、ld feel the animals heart beating faster than mine.I realized that the poor sheep was even more frightened than I was.Then the gate opened,and I quickly discovered that my hold was too weak.Within three seconds I had fallen off the sheep,and found myself face-down on the sun-baked earth.The sheep th
14、ought this was its time to take revenge(复仇),and attacked me from behind.There I lay,hat down,covered in dirt,with tears streaming down my face.I looked behind me to see my mother running to comfort me.“Stand up and show them youre okay,”she told me as she wiped the dirty tears from my face.I stood u

27、a big red house or a bus-stop sign.But what if you were swimming in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean?Could you still find your way home?A loggerhead turtle（海 龟）could.According to Dr.Ken Lohmann,loggerheads have a magnetic（磁力的）sense based on Earths magnetic field.It helps them locate the best spots f
28、or finding food and their home beaches.Scientists already know that several other animals,such as whales and honeybees,can detect（探测到）magnetic fields.The difference between them and loggerheads,however,is the way they learn to use their magnetic sense.Young whales and honeybees can learn from adults
29、.Loggerheads are abandoned as eggs.As newborn loggerheads have no adults to learn from,what helps them figure out how to use their magnetic sense?Lohmann thinks one of the cues was light on the sea.Baby loggerheads hatch only at night.However,a small amount of light reflects off the ocean.The light
30、makes that region brighter.Heading toward the light helps them get quickly out to sea,where they can find food.Lohmann tested whether newborn loggerheads use this light source to set their magnetic“compasses”（罗盘）.He and his team put some newborns in a water tank and recorded which way they swam.Arou
31、nd the tank,the scientists created a magnetic field that matched the Earths.They set a weak light to the east of the magnetic field.Then they let the newborns go.At first,the newborns swam toward the light.After the scientists turned off the light,the turtles that had seen the light in the east alwa
32、ys swam toward east.When the researchers reversed（颠倒）the magnetic field,these turtles turned around and swam toward the new“east”.This and the follow-up experiments all showed that loggerheads use light from the outside world to set their magnetic“compasses”and then remember the“correct”direction.If
33、 a turtle hatches on a brightly-lit beach,that would damage its magnetic sense forever and make survival hard for the turtle.Lohmanns work has led others to protect the habitat of this endangered species.Yet many questions about these creatures remain unanswered,and researchers have a lot to study.2
34、8What is needed for newborn loggerheads to set their magnetic sense?AWeak light reflected off the ocean.BHelp from adult loggerheads.CBright sunlight from the sky.DFood in warmer waters.29In the experiment,after the newborns magnetic sense was set,their moving direction was determined by _.Athe ligh

37、They are not trained in how to be creative.(2)They dont understand group strength well enough to harness（驾驭）their power to maximize group creativity.A key element of creativity is applying existing knowledge to a new problem.The more people getting involved in solving it,the more knowledge there is
38、to work on it.Unfortunately,research shows that the traditional brainstorming methods fail to achieve that goal.When groups get together to exchange ideas,they actually come up with fewer ideas overall than if they each had worked alone.To fix this problem,you should consider the two stages of group
39、 problem-solving:divergence（分散）and convergence（集中）.Divergence happens when the group considers as many different potential solutions as possible.Convergence happens when the various proposed solutions are evaluated and reduced to a smaller set of candidate solutions to the current problem.The essent
40、ial principle of group creativity is that individuals working alone diverge,whereas group members working together converge.In groups,once a member states a potential solution,that makes others think about the problem similarly.That is why groups working together diverge less than individuals workin
41、g alone.Therefore,be aware of when to diverge and when to converge.For example,early in theproblem-solving process,have group members work alone to write down statements describing the problem.Then get them back to discuss their descriptions.The group discussion will lead everyone to accept one or a
42、 small number of these statements to work onthis is healthy convergence.When starting to generate solutions,you again want divergence.Have people work alone to start.Then collect peoples initial ideas and send them around to others and allow the divergence to continue as everyone individually builds
43、 on the ideas of other members.Finally,let the group discuss the resulting ideas.This discussion will gradually lead the group to converge on a small number of candidate solutions.This simple method works effectively,because it respects what individuals and groups do best.32According to Para.4,when
44、a member presents an idea,others tend to_.Athink the other way roundBfollow his way of thinkingCbe more confident in their own ideasDbe less willing to share their own ideas33What should group members first do early in the problem-solving process?ADiscuss the problem.BSimplify the problem.CPut down
45、group statements together.DWrite down their individual descriptions.34How can each group member make changes to his initial solution?ABy adding in collected evidence.BBy reorganizing his own words.CBy drawing on others ideas.DBy making his statement briefer.35What is the authors purpose in writing t
46、he passage?ATo advocate a way to make group thinking more effective.BTo demonstrate the difficulty in organizing group thinking.CTo highlight the differences between divergence and convergence.DTo show the advantage of group thinking over individual thinking.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

48、end more time in a setting with a mother.第 5 页Another study has shown that children who are shy have a higher level of the hormone cortisol(皮质醇)which is released when an individual shows signs of stress.37 .And as a result the child may not mix well with the other children and the teachers at the da
49、ycare center,a situation that can cause stress.Another negative impact of daycare is that there is less communication between a mother and her child.38 So it is essential for a child to develop a deep bond with his or her mother,since this will lay the foundation for all the relationships he or she
50、will form later on in life.Children who spend a lot of time with their mothers experience healthy social and emotional development,while long hours in daycare can disrupt this bonding.Children who lose out on precious mother-child bonding are observed to have behavioral problems as they grow older.C
51、hildren in daycare centers also feel unprotected compared to children at home.In a daycare center,when one caregiver attends to more than one child at the same time,she may not be able to look deeply into why a child is mixing well or not.39 .Another negative aspect of daycare is that children there
52、 are more likely to fall ill if they come in contact with sick children40 .Well-maintained daycare centers contribute a great deal to the overall development of a child by providing a structured environment.Children become more social by interacting with other children of the same age,and learn new
53、activities that are not always available if they are brought up only at home.ABut daycare has its disadvantages.BLook for a daycare center that is well-maintained.CHowever,the advantages of daycare cannot be ignored.DThis is because a shy child will not open up freely in publicE.Babies become extrem
