第一节（共15小题，每题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。

A
As we enjoy the summer ocean waves along the beaches, w e may think nervously about Steven Spielberg's Jaws and the great fear that sharks inspire in us. Yet we are happy to see global efforts to protect the declining number of sharks. The w
orld has realized that we need the species, like sharks, to kee p a balanced ecosystem.
Sharks, in particular, are “in” these days. Thanks to good publ ic policy and famous stars such as Jackie Chan and Ang Lee, killing sharks for fin soup is no longer cool.
The demand for shark fins has been rising for decades, threat ening sharks with extinction（灭绝）—
up to 100 million sharks are killed each year just for their fins. But we have started to reverse the trend, particularly in many areas of the and overseas where restaurants once proudly pr ovided delicious shark fins on the menu.
In , a ban on the sale and possession of shark fin soup has go ne into effect this year through the efforts of Wild Aid and othe r organizations.
Overseas marketing and public efforts featuring posters on pu blic transportation systems and TV ads have been underway f or the past few years. These efforts all show signs of success, on both the supply side and the demand side of trade in shar k fins.
Actually, stopping the killing of sharks is part of a broader mov ement to stop the killing of wild animals and the buying and se lling of wildlife products. These products come from hunting el ephants, tigers and rhinos, besides killing marine life.
Whether it is shark fin soup or ivory piano keys, killing animals is big business. The hunting of elephants in search of ivory tu sks for luxury（奢侈的）goods has become a full-
scale war. The decrease of African elephant populations is al arming. Together with international partners, the is leading th e worldwide effort to reduce demand for high-
end products that rely on killing animals.
21. The underlined word “reverse” in Paragraph 3 probably m eans _______.
A. show
B. keep
C. follow
D. change
22. From the passage, we know _______.
A. Jackie Chan and Ang Lee make fin soup popular
B. a lot of wild animals have been killed for products
C. Steven Spielberg's Jaws inspires us to protect sharks
D. the number of African elephants has been increased
23. What can we infer from the passage?
A. More animals for high-end products will be saved.
B. People have kicked the habit of having shark fin soup.
C. Shark fins will not be available any more in restaurants.
D. Global efforts have succeeded in stopping killing wild anim als.
B
Are you looking for some new and exciting places to take your kids to? Try some of these places:
Visit art museums. They offer a variety of activities to excite y our kids' interest. Many offer workshops for making hand-made pieces, traveling exhibits, book signings(签
名) by children's favorite writers, and even musical performan ces and other arts.
Head to a natural history museum. This is where kids can disc over the past from Dinosaur (恐
龙) models to rock collections and pictures of stars in the sky. Also, ask what kind of workshops and educational programs a re prepared for kids and any special events that are coming u p.
Go to a Youtheater. Look for one in your area offering plays fo r child and family visitors. Pre-
show play shops are conducted by area artists and educators where kids can discover the secret about performing arts. Pup pet (木偶) making and stage make-
up are just a couple of the special offerings you might find. Try hands-on science. Visit one of the many hands-
on science museums around the country. These science play-lands are great fun for kids and grown-
ups alike. They'll keep your child mentally and physically activ e the whole day through while pushing buttons, experimenting , and building. When everyone is tired, enjoy a fun family scie nce show, commonly found in these museums.
24. If a child is interested in the universe, he probably will visit ________________.
A. a natural history museum
B. an art museum
C. a Youtheater
D. a hands-on science museum

Grown-
ups are often surprised by how well they remember somethin g they learned as children but have never practiced ever sinc e. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be state d as follows: Once we have learned something, additional lear ning trials increase the length of time we will remember it.
In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swi mming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood ta les such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but o verlearn.
The multiplication tables(乘法口诀
表)are an exception to the general rule. that we forget rather q uickly the things that we learn in school, because they are an
other of the things we overlearn in childhood.
The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学
习)for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade , is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramm ing, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on t he examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everythi ng he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is reall y necessary for one's future development.
28.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 1?
A. Children have a better memory than grown-ups.
B. People remember well something they learned as children ..
C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words.
D. Stories for children are easy to remember.
29. The author explains the law of overlearning by
A. presenting research findings
B. setting down general rul es
C. using examples
D. making a comparison
30. According to the author, being able to use multiplication ta bles is
A. a result of overlearning
B. a special case of cramm
ing
C. a skill to deal with math problems
D. a basic step toward s advanced studies
31. What is the author's opinion on cramming?
A. It leads to failure in college exams.
B. It's possible to result in poor memory.
C. It's helpful only in a limited way.
D. It increases students' learning interest.
D
