第二节完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)
A successful scientist is generally a good observer. He makes full 31 of the facts he observes. He doesn’t accept ideas which are not 32 on obvious facts, and therefore refuses to accept authority as the only 33 for truth. He always 34 ideas carefully and makes experiments to prove them.
The rise of 35 science may perhaps be considered to 36 as far back as the 37 of Roger Bacon, the wonderful philosopher of Oxford, who live 38 the years 1214 and 1292. He was probably the first in the Middle 39 to suggest that we must learn science 40 observing and experimenting on the things around us, and he himself 41 many important discoveries.
Galileo, however, who lived more than 300 years later (1564-1642), was the greatest of several great men, 42 in Italy, France, Germany, or England, began by 43 to show how many important 4 could be discovered by observation. Before Galileo, learned men believed that large bodies fell more 45 towards the earth than small ones, 46 Aristotle said so. But Galileo, going to the 47 of the leaning Tower of Pisa, let fall two 48 stones and proved Aristotle was wrong. It was Galileo’s 49 of going direct to Nature, and proving our 50 and theories by experiment, that has led to all the discoveries of modern science.

第三部分阅读理解(共15小题；每小题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。

A
Societies all over the world name places in similar ways. Quite often there is no official naming ceremony but places tend to be called names as points of reference by people. Then an organized body steps in and gives the place a name. Frequently it happens that a place has two names: One is named by the people and the other by the government. As in many areas, old habits died hard, and the place continues to be called by its unofficial name long after the meaning is lost.
Many roads and places in Singapore（新加坡）are named in order that the pioneers will be remembered by future generations. Thus we have names such as Stamford Road and Raffles Place. This is in keeping with traditions in many countries ---- in both the West and the East.
Another way of naming places is naming them after other places. Perhaps they were named to promote friendships between the two places or it could be that the people who used to live there were originally from the places that the roads were named after. The mystery is clearer when we see some of the roads named in former British bases. If you step into Selector Airbase you will see Piccadilly Circus ---- obviously named by some homesick Royal Air Force personnel.
Some places were named after the activities that used to go on at those places. Bras Basah Road is an interesting example, “Base Basah” means “wet rice” in Malay（马来语）. Now why would anyone want to name a road “Wet Rice Road”? The reason is simple. During the pioneering days, wet rice was laid out to dry along this road.
A few roads in Singapore are named by their shapes. There is “Circular Road” for one. Other roads may have part of their names to describe their shapes, like “Paya Lebar Crescent”. This road is called a crescent（月牙）because it begins on the main road, makes a crescent and comes back to join the main road again.
51. We learn from Paragraph 1 that _____.
A. the government is usually the first to name a place
B. many places tend to have more than one name
C. a ceremony will be held when a place is named
D. people prefer the place names given by the government
52. What does the underlined phrase “die hard” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Change suddenly.
B. Change significantly.
C. Disappear mysteriously.
D. Disappear very slowly.
53. Which of the following places is named after a person?
A. Raffles Place.
B. Selector Airbase.
C. Piccadilly Circus.
D. Paya Lebar Crescent.
54. Bras Basah Road is named _______.
A. after a person
B. after a place
C. after an activity
D. by its shape
55. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Some place names in Singapore are the same as in Britain.
B. Some places in Singapore are named for military purposes.
C. The way Singaporeans name their places is unique.
D. Young Singaporeans have forgotten the pioneers.

When Josephine Cooper was growing up, she learned the importance of charity from her parents. Although they made a modest living for their family of 10, they insisted on sharing with those less fortunate.
Half a century later, Mrs Cooper became a beloved volunteer at the San Diego Food Bank, where she devoted herself to helping others. She organized and ran a distribution center from a church, helping it become the organization's largest emergency food distribution center in San Diego. She was one of 25 outstanding senior volunteers in the nation selected and invited Washington D. C." to receive the award.
"She was the main person who helped us make that program grow," said Mike Doody, former director of the Food Bank. "She had a way of getting people to work together and to work hard. She was determined and stubborn, but in a good way. She had a good heart " People knew her as "Grandma" because of her selflessness and her devotion to helping hungry children and families. "She reminded people of their Grandma. " Doody said.
As a widow with a young child in 1979, Mrs Cooper was helped through a difficult financial time when thp Food Bank provided her with groceries. "She devoted her life to giving back," said her daughter, Monica Cooper. It wasn't unusual for a local church to call Mrs Cooper to ask her to aid a needy family. "She would give people food out of her cupboard. Sometimes we would cook a meal for a family living out of their car," Cooper said.
Although Mrs Cooper was honored to receive the national award for her volunteer work, she said being able to help others was her reward. She died of liver disease and kidney failure, aged 93.
56. The underlined word "charity" in Paragraph 1 refers to_____.

59. From what Monica Cooper said, we know that_____.

Two friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever, even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started. Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country. In fact, according to an official report on youth violence, "In our country today, the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment, but the terrible reality of violence. " Given that this is the ease, why aren't students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems, drive ears, or stay physically fit?
First of all, students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. A report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult. For example, a fight could start over the fact that one
student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime. Laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults, which in turn can lead to violence. The problem isn't in the sandwich, but in the way students deal with the conflict.
Once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable, they can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution: stay calm. Once the student feels calmer, he or she should choose words that will calm the other person down as well Rude words, namecalling, and accusations only add fuel
to the emotional fire. On the other hand, soft words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control.
After both sides have calmed down, they can use another key strategy for conflict resolution: listening. Listening allows the two sides to understand each other. One person should describe
his or her side, and the other person should listen without interrupting. Afterward, the listener
can ask non-threatening questions to clarify the speaker's position. Then the two people should
change roles.
Finally, students need to consider what they are hearing. This doesn't mean trying to figure out what's wrong with the other person. It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to accomplish. For example, a shouting match over a peanut butter sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try new things. Students need to ask themselves questions such as these: How did this start? What do I really want? What am I afraid of? As the issue becomes clearer, the conflict often simply becomes smaller. Even if it doesn't, careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual solution.
There will always be conflict in schools, but that doesn't mean there needs to be violence. After students in Atlanta started a conflict resolution program, according to Educators for Social Responsibility, "64 percent of the teachers reported less physical violence in the classroom; 75 percent of the teachers reported an increase in student cooperation; and 92 percent of the students felt better about themselves". Learning to resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends, teachers, parents, bosses, and coworkers. In that way, conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country.
61. This article is mainly about _____.
A. the lives of school children '
B. the cause of arguments in schools
C. how to analyze youth violence
D. how to deal with school conflicts
62. From Paragraph 2 we can learn that _____.
A. violence is more likely to occur at lunchtime
B. a small conflict can lead to violence
C. students tend to lose their temper easily
D. the eating habit of a student is often the cause of a fight
63. Why do students need to ask themselves the questions stated in Paragraph 5?
A To find out who is to blame. B. To get ready to try new things.
C. To make clear what the real issue is.
D. To figure out how to stop the shouting match.
64. After the conflict resolution program was started in Atlanta, it was found that______.
A. there was a decrease in classroom violence
B. there was less student cooperation in the classroom
C. more teachers felt better about themselves in schools
D. the teacher-student relationship greatly improved
65. The writer's purpose for writing this article is to ______.
A. complain about problems in school education
B. teach students different strategies for school life

The issue of separating science and arts education is getting heated up as debate spreads across the country, which attracts tens of thousands of votes.
About 50% of the people interviewed think it unwise to get arts and science separated in high school. In their opinion, a real expert needs a wide range of knowledge. With the development of modern society, multi-skilled people are in great demand. However, another 43% of them insist that they should be separated so that students can concentrate on some subjects and become experts. Besides, they will not be overburdened as before.
As far as I’m concerned, a comprehensive education is better than a separat ed one. A strong ability in both science and arts is helpful for the long-term development of individuals and the society as a whole. Worldwide, only in China science and arts are separated, which has had a bad effect on students’ sound development. It's h igh time we changed this model.。
