At the start of the school year, the teachers were given the names of five children. They were told that these five were the most excellent students in the class. But the fact was that these students were only average (中等)，and they were not the best students at all. Well, guess what? At the end of the year, all the five average students scored among the highest in the class.What made these average students change so much to become top students? The only difference was the change in their teachers’ attitude (态度). Because the teachers believed that these five kids were the top students, they expected more from them. And so these five average students began to believe and expect more from themselves. So they worked harder to do as well as they could.Do you know? If you expect the best from people, they’ll usually want to give you their best. A greatleader said, “Treat (对待) a person just how he appears to be on the outside, and you’ll make him even worse. But treat a person like he’s already a success, and you’ll help make him the best he can be.”Like the true story of 7-year-old Johnny, his teacher got so angry with him that one day she said, “Johnny, you’re the naughtiest boy in this class. I’m sure you’ll never change.” The next year Johnny had a new teacher. And on the first day of class, she talked with Johnny after school and said, “Johnny, I’ve heard a lot about you! But do you know that I don’t believe a word of it.” And every day after that, this new teacher treated Johnny as if he was one of the smartest students even when Johnny did naughty things. Later on, Johnny became a school leader. Because that’s the power of our belief (信任) and attitude toward children.41. The professor started his research by_________.A. telling the five students to work harder than ever beforeB. teaching the five children himselfC. telling the teachers the five students were the best in the classD. asking the five children to find a new teacher42. The five average students became top students mainly because of_________.A. the professor’s studyB. the change in the professor’s attitudeC. the teachers’ hard workD. the change in the teachers’ attitude43. Why did the writer tell us the story of 7-year-old Johnny?A. To show the importance of encouragement.B. To show that the boy was clever enough.C. To let us know the famous boy.D. To let us know how good his new teacher was.44. According to the story, we can learn that_________.A. the research began at the end of the school yearB. the students scored highest only because they worked hardC. if you expect the most from people, you’ll get the leastD. little Johnny liked his new teacher very much45. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. If you want to get more, you should have new teachers.B. Attitude and belief can change a person.C. A professor’s study can help you score highest.D. Only teachers can make you a top student.BThe average American child spends three to five hours a day watching TV. In 1961, the average child began to watch television at age three; however, today it is nine months. Yet, most parents think that television has bad influence on their children. For example, in the early 1970s, my parents believed that my bad eyesight was the result of sitting too close to the screen, and they therefore made my stay at least six feet from it. Today, most people have no such worry, but many new ridiculous (荒谬的) sayings have appeared:*TV makes kids stupid.Many children watch more educational programs when they are pre-schoolers. When they grow up, they can read more books and have much better ideas to solve difficult problems than other children.*TV makes kids violent. The real story is not so simple. Hundreds of studies show that watching violence on TV makes children more aggressive (好斗的). But a study of over 5,000 children also finds that some positive programs make children kinder. The problem is that kids are increasingly watching shows with violence instead of those suitable for their age.*Sitting around watching TV makes kids overweight. An experiment finds that when children watch less television, they do lose extra weight; however, reducing their television time does not make them more active. The real problem lies in snacking (吃零食). A widespread habit for kids, and junk-food advertisements.*TV helps kids get to sleep. The opposite is true. The more television children watch, the more likely they are to have irregular(无规律的) sleep and nap(小睡) patterns. Allowing kids to watch television is part of the problem, not the solution.46. Which one is the advantage of educational TV programs?A. They will make children solve difficult problems better than others.B. they will improve children’s ability to get along with others.C. They are likely to make children more aggressive.D. They will make sure of children’s success in the future.47. Why are children spending much time watching TV likely to be fat?A. Watching TV makes children lazy and inactive.B. Children are attracted by the food advertisement on TV.C. Watching TV doesn’t burn up as much fat as doing sports.D. Children like to snack while watching TV.48. What influence does watching TV have on a child’s sleep?A. Children are likely to sleep deeper after watching TV.B. Children’s sleep time will be greatly reduced.C. It will make children form a bad habit of sleeping.D. It will make children sleep easier.49. What is the purpose of this text?A. To increase people’s knowledge of watching TV.B. To warn parents of the disadvantages of watching TV.C. To explain the bad influences that watching TV has on children.D. To correct parents’ wrong ideas of television’s effect on children.CLook carefully at the back of a California state quarter(纪念币). A man with a walking stick is pictured there．A bird called a California condor(大秃鹫)is flying overhead. Who is this man，and why is he so important that he is featured(处于显著地位)on the back of a coin?The man on this quarter is John Muir. Even as a child, Muir loved watching nature. As a young man, he spent much of his life exploring the beauty of the wilderness．He walked more than a thousand miles across the country，through fields and woods．John Muir liked writingabout the places he visited，describing their beauty.Muir also wrote about problems．In order to create more farmland for sheep and cattle, rnany trees were being cut down．This made Muir unhappy and worried，because he knew thattrees were important to forests and to the animals that lived in them．Muir believed that natureshould be conserved(保护)instead of being changed by human beings．He wrote articles in magazines and newspapers to spread the word about conserving forests．Soon，others began tolisten．Muir wrote letters to important people，such as President Theodore Roosevelt．The president admired Muir’s love for nature．When Roosevelt came to visit Muir in California. Muir convinced(说服)the president to go camping with him for three nights under the trees so they could talk about conservation．Later，President Roosevelt set aside 148 million acres of land for national forests and established(建立)five national parks．National parks are large areas ofland that are protected from development. This means that people cannot build homes or businesses there. One of these parks is Yosemite National Park，the area that is featured on theback of the California quarter．Though it has been almost one hundred years since John Muir died，people continue his work today．His work as a conservationist helped us to see the beauty of our natural world．John Muir made us understand the importance of protecting our earth and our resources---then，now，and for the future．50．What did John Muir spend much of his life doing when he was a young man?A．Watching natural views．B．Writing about the places he visited．C．Exploring the beauty of the wilderness．D．Creating farmland for sheep and cattle．51．Why did President Theodore Roosevelt visit John Muir?A．Because Roosevelt loved watching nature．B．Because Roosevelt received letters from John Muir．C．Because Roosevelt admired John Muir’s love for nature.D．Because Roosevelt was sad about the problems with farmland．52．What happened after President Roosevelt went camping with John Muir?A．Many trees were cut down．B．Five national parks were established．C．More homes and businesses were built. D．More farmland was used for sheep and cattle. 53．Why is John Muir featured on the back of a California state quarter?A．Because he walked over a thousand miles across the country．B．Because he helped people understand the importance of protecting the natural world.

But climate change is creating(创造) a different world.This will be especially clear in our housing. Buildings is responsible for nearly half of the nation’s yearly greenhouse gas emissions(散发物), says architect Edward Mazria, founder of Architecture 2030, an organization for protecting the global environment. It can no longer be business as usual.We’ve been using the atmosphere as we wish for 200 years, said meteorologist Paul Douglas of our greenhouse-gas emissions. Now it’s coming back to bite. To slow global warming, experts say, buildings will have to change.Minnesota might need to lead the way. The state is located in the middle of the continent, on the nation’s rooftop. It is in the cross hairs of climate change, according to Peter Ciborowski, an analyst who studies climate change for the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency.Minnesota’s houses of the future will have zero carbon emissions, meaning it will need no fossil fuels. The house will also be able to resist natural disasters in an unknown weather world. Needless to say, the house also will be filled with technological wonders.By design, daylight will flood the home, reducing the need for lighting. Window glass will be able to control heat gain. In the kitchen, OLEDs (organic light-emitting diodes) will light up work areas. There will be no old-fashioned light switches（开关）and no equipment will be seen. The computer-networked equipment will be fixed into a glass-paneled wall. The whole house will be powered by solar or wind power.55. We can infer from the passage that when building houses, Architecture 2030 ______.A. will try to make the houses as beautiful as possibleB. will exactly follow the house owners’ wishesC. will not consider greenhouse gas emissionsD. will care about the global environment56. By saying “now it’s coming back to bite”, the writer means ____.A. buildings in the future will be unbelievableB. our life is being affected by global warmingC. it’s hard to reduce greenhouse-gas emissionsD. old buildings should no longer exist57. What do we learn about Minnesota’s future houses?A. They will be very expensive.B. They will be environmentally friendly.C. They are not suitable for extreme weathers.D. They are completely controlled by technology.58. What does the underlined word “flood” in the last paragraph mean?A. Fill.B. Find.C. Avoid.D. Control.59. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. The special looks of Minnesota’s houses of the future.B. The differences between old houses and houses of the future.C. Some technological wonders in Minnesota’s houses of the future.D. Computer-networked equipment in Minnesota’s houses of the future60. What’s the best title for this passage?A. What are the houses like in the future?B. What can we do to protect our environment?C.
