As we all know, games play a very important role in the growth of children. Children should grow along with playing games; for, 16 playing games, they can not only acquire knowledge, but also cultivate their abilities to get along with others.
However, most children are 17 (face)with a completely different situation. Most parents fear that games will prevent children from increasing new knowledge and 18 the children will fail in the future examinations. So, instead of 19 ( let ) the children 20 find and learn naturally from their surroundings, they force their children to take part in various kinds of classes, learning English, playing 21 piano or practising drawing, etc. What’s more, some parents put 22 the children’s toys which are very useful in developing children’s imagination and practical abilities.
23 is a piece of good advice to those parents: 24 you want to expect your child to be able to accomplish something, you must first of all develop his ability to adapt to the new surroundings. That cram education can lead to nothing 25 a failure in the children’s growth.

A
Motherhood may make women smarter and may help prevent dementia(痴呆) in old age by bathing the brain in protective hormones(荷尔蒙) , U.S. researchers reported on Thursday.
Tests on rats show that those who raise two or more litters of pups do considerably better in tests of memory and skills than rats who have no babies, and their brains show changes that suggest they may be protected against diseases such as Alzheimer’s(早老痴呆症). University of Richmond psychology professor Craig Kinsley believes his findings will translate into humans.
“Our research shows that the hormones of pregnancy(怀孕) are protecting the brain, including estrogen(雌激素), which we know has many neuroprotective (保护神经的) effects,” Kinsley said.
“It’s rat data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals,” he added in a telephone interview. “They go through pregnancy and hormonal changes.”
Kinsley said he hoped public health officials and researchers will look to see if having had children protects a woman from Alzheimer’s and other forms of age-related brain decline.
“When people think about pregnancy, they think about what happens to babies and the
mother from the neck down,” said Kinsley, who presented his findings to the annual meeting of the Society of Neuroscience in Orlando, Florida.
“They do not realize that hormones are washing on the brain. If you look at female animals that have never gone through pregnancy, they act differently toward young. But if she goes through pregnancy, she will sacrifice her life for her infant —that is a great change in her behavior that showed in genetic alterations(改变) to the brain.”
26. How do scientists know “Motherhood may make women smarter”?
A. Some researchers have told them.
B. Many women say so.
C. They know it by experimenting on rats.
D. They know it through their own experience.
27. What does the phrase “litters of pups” mean in the second paragraph?
A. Baby rats.
B. Animals.
C. Old rats.
D. Grown-up rats.
28. What can protect the brain of a woman according to the passage?
A. Estrogen.
B. The hormones of pregnancy.
C. More exercise.
D. Taking care of children.
29. “It’s rat data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals.” What does the sentence suggest?
A. The experiments on the rats have nothing to do with humans.
B. The experiments on the rats are very important for animals.
C. The experiments on the rats are much the same on humans.
D. The experiments on the rats are much the same on other animals.
30. Which title is the best for this passage?
A. Do You Want to Be Smarter?
B. Motherhood Makes Women Smarter
C. Mysterious Hormones
D. An Important Study
B
The traditional tent cities at festivals such as Glastonbury may never be the same again. In a victory of green business that is certain to appeal to environmentally-aware music-lovers, a design student is to receive financial support to produce eco-friendly tents made of cardboard that can be recycled after the bands and the crowds have gone home.
Major festivals such as Glastonbury throw away some 10,000 abandoned tents at the end of events each year. For his final year project at the University of the West of England, James Dunlop came up with a material that can be recycled. And to cope with the British summer, the cardboard has been made waterproof.
Taking inspiration from a Japanese architect, who has used cardboard to make big buildings including churches, Mr. Dunlop used cardboard material for his tents, which he called Myhabs.
The design won an award at the annual New Designers Exhibition after Mr. Dunlop graduated from his product design degree and he decided to try to turn it into a business.
To raise money for the idea, he toured the city’s private companies which fund new business and found a supporter in the finance group Mint. He introduced his idea to four of Mint’s directors and won their support. Mint has committed around £500,000 to MyHabs and taken a share of 30 per cent in Mr. Dunlop’s business. The first Myhabs should be tested at festivals this summer, before being marketed fully next year.
Mr. Dunlop said that the design, which accommodates two people, could have other uses, such as for disaster relief and housing for the London Olympics.
For music events, the cardboard houses will be ordered online and put up at the sites by the Myhabs team before the festival-goers arrive and removed by the company afterwards. They can be personalized and the company will offer reductions on the expense if people agree to sell exterior (外部的) advertising space.
The biggest festivals attract tens of thousands of participants, with Glastonbury having some 150,000 each year. Altogether there are around 100 annual music festivals where people camp in the UK. The events are becoming increasingly environmentally conscious.
31. “Eco-friendly tents” in paragraph 1 refer to tents _______.
A. economically desirable
B. favorable to the environment
C. for holding music performances
D. designed for disaster relief
32. Mr. Dunlop established his business .
A. independently with an interest-free loan from Mint
B. with the approval of the City’s administration
C. in partnership with a finance group
D. with the help of a Japanese architect
33. It is implied in the passage that _______.
A. the weather in the UK is changeable in summer
B. most performances at British festivals are given in the open air
C. the cardboard tents produced by Mr. Dunlop can be user-tailored
D. cardboard tents can be easily put up and removed by users.
34. The passage is mainly concerned with .
A. an attempt at developing recyclable tents
B. some efforts at making full use of cardboards
C. an unusual success of a graduation project
D. the effects of using cardboard tents on music festivals
35. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. Don’t Use Tents Again
B. The Advantages of Tents
C. How to Produce Tents
D. The Development of Recyclable Tents
C
It is difficult for doctors to help a person with a damaged brain. Without enough blood, the brain lives for only three to five minutes. More often the doctors can’t fix the damage. So metimes they are afraid to try something to help because it is dangerous to work on the brain. The doctors might make the person worse if he operates on the brain.
Dr. Robert White, a famous professor and doctor, thinks he knows a way to help. He thinks doctors should make the brain very cold. If it is very cold, the brain can live without blood for 30 minutes. This gives the doctor a longer time to do something for the brain.
Dr. White tried his idea on 13 monkeys. First he taught them to do different jobs, then he operated on them. He made the monkeys’ blood back to the monkeys’ brains. When the brain’s temperature was 10℃, Dr. White stopped the blood to the brain. After 30 minutes he turned the blood back on. He warmed the blood again. After their operations the monkeys were like they had been before. They were healthy and busy. Each one could still do the jobs the doctor had taught them.
36. The biggest difficulty in operating on the damaged brain is that .
A. the time is too short for doctors
B. the patients are often too nervous
C. the damage is extremely hard to fix
D. the blood-cooling machine might break down
37. The brain operation was made possible mainly by .
A. taking the blood out of the brain
B. trying the operation on monkeys first
C. having the blood go through a machine
D. lowering the brain’s temperature
38. With Dr. White’s new idea, the operation on the damaged brain .
A. can last as long as 30 minutes
B. can keep the brain’s blood warm
C. can keep t he patient’s brain healthy
D. can help monkeys do different jobs
39. What is the right order of the steps in the operations?
a. send the cooled back to the brain
b. stop the blood to the brain
c. have the blood cooled down
d. operate on the brain
A. a, b, c, d
B. c, a, b, d
C. c, b, d, a
D. b, c, d, a
40. Which of the following is not true?
A. If there isn’t enough blood, the brain can live for only three to five minutes.
B. If the brain is very cold, it can live without blood for half an hour.
C. Dr. White tried his idea for thirteen times.
D. After their operations, the monkeys were healthy and busy again.
D
Death Valley is one of the most famous deserts in the United States, covering a wide area with its alkali sand. Almost 20 percent of this area is well below sea level, and Badwater, a salt water pool, is about 280 feet below sea level and the lowest point in the United States.
Long ago the Panamint Indians called this place “Tomesha”—the land of fire. Death Valley’s present name dates back to 1849, when a group of miners coming across from Nevada became lost in its unpleasantness and hugeness and their adventure turned out to be a sad story. Today Death Valley has been declared a National Monument(纪念碑) and is crossed by several well-marked roads where good services can be found easily. Luckily the change created by human settlement has hardly ruined the special beauty of this place.
Here nature created a lot of surprising, almost like the sights on the moon, ever-changing as the frequent wind moves the sand about, showing the most unusual colors. One of the most astonishing and variable parts of Death Valley is the Devil’ s Golf Course, where it seems hard for one to tell reality from terrible dreams. Sand sculptures(沙雕) stand on a frightening ground, as evening shadows move and lengthen.
41. _______ is the lowest place in the desert.
A. Tomesha
B. Death Valley
C. Nevada
D. Badwater
42. The name of the valley comes from _______.
A. an Indian name
B. the death of the miners
C. the local people
D. a National Movement
43. From the passage we can learn that _______.
A. no one had ever known the desert before the miners
B. it’s still not easy to travel across the desert
C. people can find gas-stations, cafes and hotels in the desert
D. people have changed the natural sight of the desert
44. Devil Golf Course is famous for _______.
A. the frequent wind
B. the colors of the sand
C. dream-like sights
D. the sand sculptures
45. From the passage we can see that the writer _______ the Death Valley.

In some public toilets in Australia, signs have been put up in Chinese to remind Chinese visitors to wash out the toilet after use. In many scenic spots in foreign countries, similar posters ask Chinese people to speak in softer tones.
In China, there are many rude bus passengers who never wait in line for a bus and push hard onto it the moment the bus stops. There are also witnesses to accidents who fail to lend a hand to others. In Beijing, the residents’ impolite, sometimes rude manners are often noted by visitors from all over the world.

26. C。

细节题。

根据Tests on rats show… 可知科学家是通过做老鼠实验得出这个结论。

27. A。

词义猜测题。

后面的对比who have no babies，实际上提供了一个相反的情况，所以我们可以推测those who raise two or more litters of pups中的litters of pups指的是“刚出生不久的小老鼠”。

28. B。

细节题。

根据文章第3 段中的…the hormones of pregnancy(怀孕) are protecting the brain可得出答案。

29. C。

句意理解题。

科学家通过用老鼠做实验来说明人的问题。

因为人和老鼠都属于哺乳动物，很多生理机能都相同。

30. B。

主旨题。

短文第一句Motherhood may make women smarter 是主题句，据此我们可以得出答案。

B[答案及解析] 31—35 BCCAA
本文主要介绍开发和使用可再利用的帐篷。

31. B 词义猜测题。

根据第一段最后一句可知，eco-friendly tents是用纸板做，在乐队和人群离开回家后，可以重复使用的，显然是对环境有利的。

另外，根据eco-friendly的构成也可猜出其含义为“环境友好的”，上文environmentally-ware(有环境意识的)也有提示作用。

32. C 细节理解题。

根据第五段内容可知，Mr. Dunlop与财团Mint为合作关系，Mint财团为其MyHabs项目提供50万英镑的资金支持，Mr. Dunlop提供技术并负责实施该项目，作为回报，Mint财团将获得Mr. Dunlop企业的30％的股份，故选C。

A项获得Mint的无息贷款，显然错。

他的创意是受到日本建筑师的启发，而非得到其帮助，D错。

倒数第二段最后一句“They can be personalized"暗示可以根据用户的要求裁剪式样。

根据第二段最后一句可推知英国夏季多雨，但不能推出changeable(易变，多变)的，A错。

根据倒数第三段可知，这种帐篷只能睡两个人，显然不是为搭建露天演出棚所用，只是为那些观看节目演出，而又难以承担或不愿支付居住高额旅馆的年轻(学生)野外露宿所用，演出应不是露天，至少不能推出B正确。

根据倒数第二段首句，这种帐篷可在网上订购，但该公司将派安装队负责安装和拆除，可见安装和拆除不是很容易，D错。

34. A 主旨大意题。

文章关注的是开发和使用可再利用的帐篷，A正确。

这种帐篷将利用纸板，但这不是根本目的，B错。

这种帐篷的确是Mr. Dunlop最后一年的课题，但文章聚集的不是大学生的课题，而且该项目尚不能说取得了成功，还有待实践去检验，C错。

现在尚只是使用，效果如何尚是未知，D错。

35. D 主旨大意题。

纵览全文得知，文章讲的是开发和使用可再利用的帐篷问题，所以D正确。

C[答案及解析] 36—40 ADABC
本文主要讲述的是医生不断探索如何给受伤的脑部做手术的事。

Do be polite for ourselves, and for our country
The passage tells us a phenomenon that many foreign countries have put up signs in Chinese to remind Chinese visitors to behave in good manners. What’s more, the author also indicates t hat good manners are of great importance to the 16th Asian Games.
In my opinion, good manners are not only important to one citizen, but also to the whole country and the nation. I still remember that I once came across a really rude and impolite man. At that time, we were waiting for the same bus and the bus finally came. No sooner had the bus opened its door than he pushed onto it. What’s worse, he knocked down an old man and didn’t even say sorry! It was really rude and even cruel. This incident not only showed how bad manners the man had, but also told us a serious current situation that some of our citizens lack the sense of being polite.
If the situation continues, it will be a fatal problem to the 16th Asian Games. So for the sake of our country and the success of the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games, do be polite and keep good manners all the time. Do be polite for ourselves, and for our country. Good manners should be put at the top of our agenda.
