9、 my son. After getting settled finally in Brunswick, New Jersey, I enrolled(注册) my son in kindergarten. Several weeks later, my sons teacher asked me to meet him at his office.In the teachers office, and exchange of greetings was followed by his questions: “ Is your son mentally retarded(弱智的)? Does
10、he suffer from any kind of mental disability?” Was he talking about my wonderful Scola? No, no, it cant be. What a helpless, lonely moment! I told him that Scola was a quiet, sweet little boy, instead. I asked him why he was asking me all these questions.My son could not follow the teachers directio
11、ns, he told me, and thus, Scola wasdisruptingthe class. Didnt he know my son did not speak English yet? He was angry: “ Why hasnt your son been taught to speak English? Dont you speak English at home?” No, I didnt speak English at home, I replied. I was sure my son would learn English in a couple of
12、 months, and I didnt want him to forget his native language. Well, wrong answer! What kind of person would not speak in English to her son at home and at all times? “ Are you one of those people who come to this country to save dollars and sent them back to their country, never wanting to be a part
13、of this society?” Needless to say, I tried to tell him I was not one of “ those people.” Then he told me the meeting was over, and I left. As I had expected, my son learned to speak English fluently before the school year was over. He went on to graduate from college and got a job, earning close to
14、six figures. He travels widely and leads a well-adjusted, contented life. And he has benefited from being bilingual(双语的)。 Speaking more than one language allows people to communicate with others; it teaches people about other cultures and other places- something very basic and obviously lacking in t
15、he “educator” I met in New Jersey.21. The teacher asked the author to his office_.A.to work out a study plan for Scola B.to get Scola enrolled in kindergatenC.to discuss Scolas in-class performance D.to find a language partner for Scola22. The authors attitude towards being bilingual may best be des
16、cribed as _. A.positive B.critical C.casual D.passive23.This text is likely to be selected from a book of _. A.geography B.medicine C.history D.educationBBrown cows may not actually make chocolate milk, but pink silkworms (蚕) do produce pink silk, a team of scientists has discovered. To see if they
17、could produce predyed silksilk that comes colored, straight from the sourcethe team fed ordinary silkworms mulberry (桑树) leaves that had been sprayed (喷洒) with fabric (织物) dyes (染色剂). Out of seven tested dyes, only one worked, producing a thread that reminded me of pinkdyed hair.And yes, the worms t
18、hemselves take on some color before they produce silk. Their colorful diets did not affect their growth, the team, which included engineers and biologists from the CSIRNational Chemical Laboratory in India, reports in the journal ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering. (The researchers didnt look t
19、oo deeply into how the dyes affected the silkworms health. After all, silkworms die when people harvest their silk.)The team made dyeing silk this way because coloring fabric normally uses large amounts of fresh water. The water gets polluted with dangerous chemicals in the process, requiring costly
20、 treatment before factories can send it back into waterways. Dyeing silk directly by feeding silkworms would avoid those waterwashing steps. Scientists are just starting to study this idea. However, it remains to be seen if its commercially successful. In this experiment, the Indian team tested seve
21、n dyes, which are cheap and popular in the industry.The scientists found different dyes moved through silkworms bodies differently. Some never made it into the worms silk at all. Others colored the worms and their silk, but the color disappears before the silk is turned into fabric. Only one dye, na
22、med “direct acid fast red”, showed up in the final, washed silk threads. By the time it made it there, it was a pleasant, light pink.24The text is most probably a(n) _.Ascience report Btourist guideCanimal experiment Dfashion advertisement25Silkworms can produce pink silk because _.Athey are born pi
23、nk Bthey are dyed pinkCthey grow in pink water Dthey are fed dyed food26Where is the experiment carried out?AIn America. BIn India. CIn Israel. DIn China.27How many dyes have been proved successful in the experiment?AOne. BThree. CFive. DSeven.COne new discovery after another has been over and over
24、again plunging a hard-to-accept idea into scientists minds: there might have been an even more advanced super prehistoric civilization in the remote past. Discovery One: Kept in Topkapi Palace, Istanbul, Turkey is a unique ancient map, which was first discovered in the 18th century. On the map, only
25、 the Mediterranean area is accurately mapped while other places, such as America and Africa, are well out of shape. When studying in a deeper way, however, the scientists were amazed at finding the ancient map was actually a birds-eye map. Compared with the pictures of the earth taken by the Apollo
26、8 spacecraft, the Turkey map is exactly the repeat of them and the deformable boundaries of America and Africa agree well with those of the Apollo 8s pictures. To scientists astonishment, the map even describes the complex landforms of the Antarctic covered with several-kilometer- thick ice, which i
27、s as like as two peas with the map made by the 1952 Antarctica expedition with the help of the sonic echo sounder. But the old map was made in the remote ancient times!Discovery Two: On the Lake Titicaca Plateau of South America lies the ruin of an ancient city, at the centre of which stands a huge
28、red sandstone statue. Printed on it is a complete star map with hundreds of signs. Through years of study, scientists finally decoded the map and signs. This is a star map describing the starry sky 27,000 years ago. The signs record the extremely deep astronomic knowledge, which is even beyond the m
29、odern peoples understanding.Discovery Three: In 1921, people happened to find an ancient Nied mans skull in Zambia, Africa. In the right of the skull there is an edge-smooth round hole, which scientists have decided only a bullet can make. But the ancient Nied people lived about 70,000 years ago, wh
30、en mankind is supposed to have just learnt to use axes. Was there really a prehistoric super civilization? God knows! 28. The Turkey map was made in _. A. the 18th century B. the 20th century C. the 1950s D. the remote past29. What is the most important discovery of Discovery Two? A. An ancient city
31、. B. A huge statue.C. A star mapD. Astronomic knowledge.30. The hole in the ancient Nied mans skull suggests that the ancient Nied people _. A. could make something like gunsB. were very cruel C. made much use of mens skullsD. could use axes skillfully31. The author uses the three discoveries to pro
32、ve that _. A. ancient people were much cleverer than present people B. there might be a super civilization in the remote past C. the ancient civilization might come from outer space D. God made everything, including the super civilizationD Around 1975 books were written about strange occurrences in
33、the Bermuda Triangle, a part of the Atlantic Ocean off the southeast coast of the U.S. They told the stories of planes and ships that disappeared for no understandable reason and were never found again. They told about ships which were found undamaged but with no one on them. According to the books,
34、 more than 1,000 people disappeared in the Triangle from 1945 to 1975. According to some writers, there were no natural explanations for many of the disappearances, so they suggested other explanations. For example, some strange and terrible power exists in the Triangle. According to another writer,
35、 people from space are living at the bottom of the Atlantic, and sometimes they need human sailors and airmen for their research. These ideas were not scientific, but they were good advertisements. The books about the Bermuda Triangle were immediate successes. However, the books give little evidence
36、 to support their unusual ideas. In addition, they ignore at least three important facts that suggest natural reasons for many of the occurrences. First, messages from some of the ships and aircraft which later disappeared give us evidence of problems with navigational instruments. Similar stories a
37、re told by officers who were on duty on planets and ships which finally managed to come through the Triangle without disaster. Second, the weather in this part of the Atlantic Ocean is very unpredictable. Dangerous storms that can cause problems even for experienced pilots and sailors can begin sudd
38、enly and without warning. Finally, the Bermuda Triangle is very large, and many people, both experienced and inexperienced, sail and fly through it. Perhaps the figure of 1,000 deaths in thirty years shocks some people, but, in fact, the figure is not unusual for an area of ocean that is so large an
39、d that is crossed by so many ships. The evidence which exists, therefore, supports one conclusion about Bermuda Triangle: We do not need stories about people from space or strange unnatural powers to explain the disappearances.32. What was strange about the occurrences in the Bermuda according to Pa
40、ragraph 1?A. Ships survived but with no passengers on board.B. Not only ships but planes went missing as well. C. There were as many as 1,000 deaths from 1945 to 1975. D. They happened across none other than the Atlantic waters.33. Why were the books about Bermuda Triangle unscientific? A. The books
41、 were written by unknown writers.B. Nearly no supporting evidence was given. C. The books were written as advertisements.D. The writers pursued immediate success. 34. What reason for the disappearances may the author agree with? A. The sailors and airmen were taken away by strange species. B. People
42、 aboard could not stand the weather and died of diseases. C. The sailors and airmen were to blame as they were inexperienced. D. Navigational instruments going wrong caused the sink or the crash.35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Bermuda Triangle Disappearances, Mystery Or Misreading?
43、 B. The Deadly Problems With Machines Of Last Century C. One Hundred Lives Lost In Thirty Years! D. New Discoveries In The Bermuda Triangle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。A garden thats just right for youHave you ever visited a garden that seemed just right for you, w
44、here the atmosphere of the garden appeared to total more than the sum(总和) of its parts? 36 . But it doesnt happen by accident. It starts with looking inside yourself and understanding who you are with respect to the natural world and how you approach the gardening process. 37 Some people may think t
45、hat a garden is no more than plants, flowers, patterns and masses of color. Others are concerned about using gardening methods that require less water and fewer fertilizers(肥料). 38 . However, there are a number of other reasons that might explain why you want to garden. One of them comes from our ea
