Getting kids interested in science at an early age is very important. It’s 31 than you think. Science does not have to be something 32 .

You can turn every day 40 into science projects. Try baking a cake and asking why does the cake rise? What 41 if you forget to put in some ingredient? Different kids have different interests 42 they need different kinds of science projects. A rock collection may interest your young daughter but your older son may need something more involved. 43 , it’s not hard to find plenty of fun projects.

Let your child help choose the project or activity. It’s easy enough to ask. 49 overwhelm (强加)them, suggest 2 or 3 possibility. When a child picks something they are interested in, they will enjoy it and learn more 50 it.
Go ahead. Try it and see for yourself how easy it is to spark the interest of a child.

第三部分：阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分，满分40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。

A
A woman Vicki once knew a young person named Susan at church. Susan always seemed happy, although Vicki knew she had faced struggles in her life. Her long-awaited marriage had quickly ended in divorce, but her whole face seemed to smile.
One day Vicki asked Susan,“How is it that you are always so happy, you have so much energy, and you never seem to get down?”
With her eyes smiling, Susan said,“I know the secret!”
“What secret is that? What are you talking about?”Vicki asked.
Susan replied,“The secret is this: I have learned there is little I can do in my life that will make me truly happy. I must depend on God to make me happy and meet my needs. When a need arises in my life, I have to trust God to supply according to HIS
riches. I have learned most of the time I don’t need half of what I think I do. He has never let me down. Since I learned that secret, I am happy.”
Vicki thought first, “That’s too simple!”But upon reflecting over her own life, she remembered how she thought a bigger house would make her happy, but it didn’t! She thought a better-paying job would make her happy, but it didn’t. When did she realize her greatest happiness? Sitting on the floor with her grandchildren, playing games, eating pizza or reading a story, this is a simple gift from God.
51. What do we know about Susan?
A. She lived a very happy life with her family.
B. She always wore a pretended smile on her face.
C. She had her own share of trouble in life.
D. She could overcome every difficulty in life.
B
Where have all the bicycles gone? Getting that first two-wheeler used to be one of childhood’s most exciting moments. It meant an expansion of the child’s world. The opportunity to travel beyond one’s street and meet friends at the playground, ball field, or just go to someone’s house on your own was an exciting new stage of independence. It also meant lots of exercise.
But bicycle sales are decreasing. Now, less than half of the children aged 7⁃11 regularly ride a bike. This is a serious change in the culture of our children’s lives.
But it is not just the crazy schedule of parents or the increased temptation of “screens”----- TV, video games, computers-----to play with. Another factor is playing a bigger role in the narrowing world of children. Surveys indicate parents fear that if they allow their children to roam ( 闲逛) freely about
the town, those children may be abducted (诱拐) by strangers. School playgrounds are no longer safe places to hang out. The woods are no longer a great place t o explore.
Parents couldn’t be more wrong. In fact, there are only 100--130 stranger abductions a year in the U.S. Besides, 75% of all abductions are carried out by people the child knows, most of which are done by divorced parents who are upset about custody (监护) arrangements. You and your child are three times more likely to be hit by lightning at a soccer game than your child is likely to experience a stranger abduction!
Children running free are very safe. Not only safe, but these children are learning to make creative use of their time, being physically active, and improving their social skills. Now what more could you ask for?
Don’t just shake your head and smile, as many parents do today, when your child tend to use instant messaging to talk to her friend next door. Turn off the computer and send her next door! Consider it a pleasure to yell down the street or call a friend to find your child at dinnertime. Let’s make bicycles something special for children once again.
58. The purpose of the passage is to _____.
A. call on people to ride bicycles
B. advise parents to let their children ride more
C. change parents’ attitude towards riding bicycles
D. encourage children to play outdoors more
C
In a recent study, participants were asked to drink beer from either a straight-sided glass, or a curved“beer glass”. People took about almost twice as long to finish when drinking alcoho l from the straight-sided glass, compared with the curved glass.
There was no difference in drinking rates from the glasses when the drink was nonalcoholic.
People may drink their alcohol faster from curved glasses because it is more difficult to accurately judge the halfway point of these glasses, the researchers concluded. As a result, drinkers may be less able to measure how much they have consumed. “People often talk of‘pacing themselves’when drinking alcohol as a means of controlling levels of drunkenness, but I think the important point to take from our research is that the ability to pace effectively may be compromised when d rinking from certain types of glasses,”said study researcher Angela Attwood of the University of Bristol’s School of Experimental Psychology in the United Kingdom.
In another experiment, participants completed a computer task in which they were shown pictures of two glasses containing varying volumes of liquid, and asked to judge whether each glass was more, or less, than half-full. The researchers found people made greater errors in judging the halfway point of the curved glass.
“The participants who showed the greatest error in these judgments also tended to show the greatest changes in their drinking rates,”the researchers said.“The speed at which people drink alcohol influences their level of intoxication (迷醉), and the number of drinks they consume on an occasion. Therefore, slowing down is likely to have a positive impact for the individual, and also at a population level.”
59. If a man finishes drinking alcohol from a curved glass in 30 minutes, from a same-volumed straight glass, he will spend _____.
A. about 15 minutes
B. about 60 minutes
C. about 45 minutes
D. about 25 minutes
60. According to the passage, the experiment shows that _____.
A. curved glasses mislead people’s judgment
B. people differ greatly when judging the same glass
C. people do computer tasks poorly after drinking
D. the type of liquid influences people’s thinking
61. What advice do the researchers give drinkers?
A. Use a curved“beer glass”.
B. Drink at a slower pace.
C. Drink with positive people.
D. Try different types of alcohol.
62. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Shape may influence your drinking
B. Curved glass is out of date
C. Drink less for your health
D. Drinkers favor a different type of glass

A
The first day our professor challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t know. I looked around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady smiling at me.
She said, “Hi, handsome. My name is Rose. I’m 87. Can I give you a hug?”I laughed, “Of course you may!” and she gave me a giant squeeze. “Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?” I asked. She jokingly replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, and have a couple of children.”“No seriously,” I said. “I want to realize my dream!”she told me. Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and everyone liked to listen to this “time machine”.
At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet and I’ll never forget what she taught us. “There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are 19 and lie in bed for one full year and don’t do one productive thing, you will turn 20. If I am 87 and stay in bed for a year and never do anything I will turn 88. We have less time to live on. Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunity in chan ge. The elderl y usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do.”
At the year’s end, Rose finished the college degree she had dreamed about all those years. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. Over 2,000 students attended her funeral honoring the wonderful woman who taught us such an important message.
51. Rose made herself known to the author in a _____ manner.。
