9、题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，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。AIn this world, each country has its own cultural characteristics. In a society such as the United States or Canada, which has many national, religious and cultural differences, people highly value individualism-the differences among people.
10、Teachers place a lot of importance on the qualities that make each student special. The educational systems in these countries show these values. Students do not memorize all possible basic knowledge. Instead, they work individually and find answers by themselves. There is often discussion in the cl
11、assroom. At an early age, students learn to form their own ideas and opinions. In most Asian societies, by contrast, the people have the same language, history and culture. Perhaps for this reason, the educational system in much of the orient reflects societys belief in group goals and purposes rath
12、er than individualism. Children in China, Japan and Korea often work together and help one another on assignments. There are advantages and disadvantages of both systems of education. For example, one advantage of the system in Japan is that students there learn much more about math, physics, biolog
13、y and chemistry than American students by the end of high school. They also study more hours each day and more days each year than North Americans do. The system is difficult, but it prepares students for a society that values discipline and self-control. There is, however, a disadvantage. Memorizat
14、ion is an important learning method in Japanese schools, yet many students say that after an exam, they forget much of the information that they have memorized. The advantage of the educational system in North America, on the other hand, is that students learn to think for themselves. The system pre
15、pares them for a society that values creative ideas. There is, however, a disadvantage. When students graduate from school, they havent memorized as many basic rules and facts as students in other countries have. 21.The reason why American teachers attach much importance to individualism is that _.A
16、.they are required to do soB. their students do not memorize informationC.the United States is a country of many culturesD. their students work individually22.Which of the following statements applies to Asian methods of education?A.Each child in a classroom draws a different picture.B.Students have
17、 to find information themselves.C.Students are prepared for a society that values discipline.D.Teachers serve as a guide in discussion.23.From the facts, we can infer that _ .A.Asian students are more likely to do better in teamwork than American studentsB.Chinese students are more hard-working in t

Are GM foods saf
19、e for people? Can they help solve the poverty problem? They have been the subjects of a hot debate. This debate is related to increasing challenges from rising climatic change, population growth, urbanization, and natural resource consumption. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization, food
20、 production needs to increase by 60 percent by 2050 in order to feed 9 billion people. Scientists and policymakers are searching for effective ways to gain nutritious food, for today and future. Unlike previous agricultural methods (such as the Green Revolution), GM crops are to fight food safety an
21、d poverty challenges. The great expansion of GM crop varieties over the last two decades can be seen easily. The total area devoted to GM crops has increased 100 times from 1.7 million hectares in 1996 to 170 million hectares in 2012. Developing countries now grow more GM crops than developed countr
22、ies (in terms of area), largely driven by Brazils rapid adoption of GM crops. China is home to about 4 percent of the total global area devoted to GM crops. Beans, corn, and cotton are main global GM crops, while Chinas focus is on cotton, papaya, and poplar. Recently, a scientific study shows that
23、GM crops are safe for people and the environment. According to a 2010 report on the safety of GM crops by the EU, “the main conclusion to be drawn from the efforts of more than 130 research projects, covering a period of more than 25 years of research, and involving more than 500 research groups, is
24、 that biology methods, are not more risky than traditional planting technologies, for example.” Other international and national scientific bodies, such as the World Health Organization, have reached the same conclusion. 24.As for GM crops, what do people mainly focus on ?A.Food production. B. Food
25、nutrition.C. Food safety. D. Food variety.25.What does Paragraph 3 talk about?A.More GM crops in developing countries.B. Less GM crops in developed countries.C.Rapid adoption of GM crops in Brazil.D. The expansion of GM crop varieties of the world.26.From a recent scientific study, we can infer that
26、_.A.traditional planting technologies are more riskyB.the safety of GM crops has been proved in many waysC.the safety of GM crops was reported by the EU in 2010D.present GM crops are safe for people and the environment27.Whats the writers attitude towards GM crops?A.Supportive.

27、n. D.

The school undertook a comprehensive effort to completely tr
28、ansform the culture of the school and added a motivated group of talented teachers. Western altered（改变） the school day to add opportunities for students to get additional credits toward graduation and created smaller learning groups. As part of these comprehensive changes, the schools leadership als
29、o focused on four main reforms to transform their school.First, improvements started with the change in the relationship between the school and students to create a caring atmosphere at the school. Using the “Capturing Kids Hearts” strategies, school leadership and teachers began building a trusting
30、 environment and students and families described seeing changes aimed at improving student outcomes and ensuring the success of every student. The school day was altered to add more options for students to obtain additional credits toward graduation. Students and teachers were grouped into “houses,”
31、 so that smaller groups of teachers and counselors(辅导员)could create one-on-one relationships with students. Teachers and counselors said that the altered school day provides time to address students individual concerns and develop individualized learning plans to put every student on a path to gradu
32、ation.The school also made changes to encourage parents to support school and encourage real dialogues between parents and the teachers and leaders at Western. Funded in part through the United Way, the school created a family engagement center to get parents more involved in their childrens educati
33、on, particularly parents of English language learners. Parents like Ally Gaona and Martha Mendez told me that they had a voice and the tools to engage in their childrens learning and that they recognize that the main responsibility for their childrens learning must rest with the parents. Parents wer
34、e passionate about these positive changes and said that these changes signaled to the entire community that the school was serious about family engagement.28What is the main purpose of the passage?A.

The school was serious about family and community engagement.DDream research offers many theories-but there is still no definitive answer to the
38、question. History is full of cases where dreams have been a pathway to creativity and discovery. A striking example is provided by Dr. Otto Loewi, a pharmacologist (药理学家) and winner of a Nobel Prize. Loewi had spent years studying the chemical transmission of nerve impulses (脉搏). A tremendous breakt
39、hrough in his research came when he dreamed of an experiment three nights in a row. The first two nights he woke up and wrote down the experiment quickly and untidily on paper. But the next morning, he couldnt tell what the notes meant. On the third night, he got up after having the dream. This time
40、, instead of making notes he went straight to his laboratory and performed the important experiment. Loewi later said that if the experiment had occurred to him while awake he would have rejected it.Loewis experiment gives some insight into using dreams to produce creative solutions. Nervous feeling
41、s are reduced during dreaming, which may be especially useful in solving problems that require a fresh point of view.Being able to take advantage of dreams for solving is improved if you“set” yourself before retiring. Before you go to bed, try to think intently about a problem you wish to solve. Bur
42、y yourself in the problem by stating it clearly and reviewing all relevant information. Then use the suggestions listed in the previous section to catch your dreams. Although this method is not guaranteed to produce a novel solution or a new insight, it is certain to be an adventure. About half of a
