On the other hand，Italians，for example，exercise more control. We found Canadians seem to focus on negotiation in case of a conflict.” Claes said Canada，France and Italy were selected for the study because they share important cultural and social factors.“We chose French­Canadians because they share the same language as France，and originall y came from France and share certain values. Italy was included because it was considered to have similar，strong and important family values，” he explained.The researchers examined the emotional ties between parents and their children by questioning 1,256 students aged 11 to 19 years old.Canadian students reported less control and more free actions，according to the study. Italian parents were stricter and French parents were somewhere in the middle. Claes explains that the differ ences lie in education in Canada，France and Italy.“North America has its own educational values，which promote individualization. Tolerance and comprehension are encouraged. Italy，on the other hand，promotes respect of authority，control，and the need for permission.” he said.Children from all three countries described their mothers as warm and communicative. Italian and Canadian children had similar feelings about their fathers，and reported high levels of emo tional ties. But French fathers were generally thought by their children to be more distant and cold.“We were surprised by this，”Claes admitted.“It seems as though the relationships between French mothers and their children were becoming closer over time，while fathers maintain a form of distance and coldness，which is more of a source of conflict in France than in the other countries.”21．Professor Michel Claes believes that Canada，France and Italy ________.A．have the same family spiritB．have some similar cultural traditionsC．have experienced some similar social changesD．have experienced similar cultural developments22．How did the researchers carry out the study ?A．By collecting answers of parents from Canada，France and Italy.B．By collecting answers of children from Canada，France and Italy.C．By questioning parents and their children from Italian Canadian families. D．By questioning children from French­Canadian families.23. According to Michel Claes，what mainly leads to the differences in parent­childrenrelationships among Canada，France and Italy?A．Educational opportunities. B．Traditional ideas.C．Educational values.

When someone tells you something that is true,but leaves out important information that should be included, hecan give you a false picture．For example,someone might say , “I just won a hun dred dollars on the lottery(彩票)．It was great．I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”This guy's a winner,right? Maybe,maybe not．We then discover that he bought $ 200 worth of tickets,and only one was a winner．He’s really a big loser!He didn’t say anything that was false,but he left out important information on purpose．That’s called a half-truth．Half truths are not technically lies,but they are just as dishonest．Some politicians often use this trick．Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term,her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs．Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents(对手)says,“During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” That’s true．However, an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith's term,the state had a net gain of two million jobs．’’Advertisers(广告商) will sometimes use half-truths．It’s against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth．An advertisement might say,“Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache．”It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company．This kind of deception happens too often．It’s a sad fact of life：Lies are lies,and sometimes the truth can lie as well．25．We may infer that the author believes people shouldA．buy lottery tickets if possible B．make use of half-truthsC．be careful about what they are told D．not trust the Yucky Company 26．What do the underlined words “net gain” in Paragraph 5 mean?A．final increase B．big advantage C．1arge share D．total number 27．What can we know from the example of the Yucky Pill adver tisement?A．False statements are easy to see through．B．Half-truths are often used to mislead people．C．Doctors like to act in advertisements．D．Advertisements are based on facts．28．Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?A．He’s really a big loser!B．Sometimes the truth can lie as well．C．Advertisers will sometimes use half truths．D．It’s against the law to make false statements．CAccording to the US government, wind farms off the Pacific coast could produce 900 gigawatts of electricity every year. Unfortunately, the water there is far too deep for even the tallest windmills to touch bottom. An experiment under way off the coast of Norway, however, could help put them anywhere.The project, called Hywind, is the world’s first large-scale deepwater wind turbine (涡轮发电机). Although it uses a fairly standard 152-ton, 2. 3-megawatt turbine, Hywind represents totally new technology. The turbine will be fixed 213 feet above the water on a floating spar, a technology Hywind’s creator, the Norwegian company StatoilHydro, has developed recently. The steel spar, which is filled with stones and goes 328 feet below the sea surface, will be tied to the ocean floor by three cables ; these will keep the spar stable and prevent the turbi ne from moving up and down in the waves. Hywind’s stability in the cold and rough sea would prove that even the deepest corners of the ocean are suitable for wind power. If all goes according to the plan, the turbine will start producing electricity six miles off the coast of southwestern Norway as early as September.To produce electricity on a large scale, a commercial wind farm will have to use bigger turbines than Hywind does, but it’s difficult enough to balance such a large turbine so high on a floating spar in the middle of the ocean. To make that turbine heavier, the whole spar’s center of gravity must be moved much closer to the ocean’s surface. To do that, the company plans to design a new kind of wind turbine, one whose gearbox (变速箱) sits at sea level rather than behind the blades. Hywind is a test run, but the benefits for perfecting floating wind-farm technology could be extremely large. Out at sea, the wind is often stronger and steadier than close to shore, where all existing offshore windmills are planted. Deep-sea farms are invisible from land, which helps overcome the windmill-as-eyesore objection. If the technology catches on, it will open up vast areas of the planet’s surface to one of the best low-carbon power sources available.29. The Hywind project uses totally new technology to ensure the stability of .A. the cables which tie the spar to the ocean floorB. the spar which is floating in deep-sea waterC. the blades driven by strong and steady sea windD. the stones filled in the spar below the sea surface30.To balance a bigger turbine high on a floating spar, a new type of turbine is to be designedwith its gearbox sitting .A. on the sea floorB. on the spar topC. at sea levelD. behind the blades31. Wide applications of deepwater wind power technology can .A. solve the technical problems of deepwater windmillsB. make financial profits by producing more turbinesC. settle the arguments about environmental problemsD. explore low-carbon power resources available at seaDCan you imagine a world without chocolate? It's not something I'd 1ike to do．so I was relieved to read that there’s a university with a program me to safeguard the future of chocolate!The University of Reading,in England,has just opened a new clearing house for all the world’s ne w cocoa varieties．They must be quarantined(隔离检疫)before they can be grown．Why? Cocoa production hit a record high of 4.4 million tons last year but about 30％of the precious crop is regularly lost to pests and diseases．Now we don’t want that,do we?Demand for chocolate has been increasing faster than the world supply of cocoa and researchers think that new varieties are key to solving this problem．The University of Reading has been protecting the quality of the new crops since 1985,after it took over the task from the Royal Botanical Gardens in Kew,London．And it has improved its facilities．The leader of the institution’s cocoaproject,Professor Paul Hadley,says,“One of the main issues concerning cocoa improvement is the supply of reliably clean,healthy,interesting cocoa material．”The cocoa centre has a collection of 400 plant varieties and their greenhouse uses a lot of energy to keep them in tropical conditions．After up to two years in quarantine,clean and safe seeds are sent to some 20 countries,including several in West Africa．That’s where 75％of the cocoa used for chocolate worldwide comes from．The crop is extremely important for the local economy：it employs about two million people.Professor Hadley says he works with a small team of skilled technicians who look after the collection．And more of us seem to count on them now．The scientist says,“there is some concern within the industry that demand is increasing constantly,particularly in countries like China,where the standard of living is increasing and people are getting a taste for different chocolates.”32．What is the text mainly about?A．Safeguarding cocoa seeds． B．Planting cocoa worldwide．C．Keeping cocoa in greenhouse． D．Finding the new market for cocoa．33．The institution’s cocoa project i s to_______.A．have cocoa skin removed B．offer more jobs to peopleC．ensure the quality of cocoa D．supply cocoa for two million people 34．What does the last paragraph tell us?A. The taste of chocolates is changing.B. Demand for cocoa is increasing fast. C．People are concerned about cocoa varieties. D.
