But he couldn’t understand why,after three months of training,the master had taught him only one move.“Sir,”the boy finally said,“shouldn’t I be learning more moves?”“This is the only move you know,but this is the only move you’ll ever need to know,”the master replied.Not quite understanding,but believing in his teacher,the boy kept training.Several months later,the master took the boy to his first tournament(锦标赛).Surprising himself,the boy easily won his first two matches.The third match proved to be more difficult,but after some time,his opponent became impatient and charged;the boy skillfully used his one move to win the match.Still amazed byhis success,the boy was now in the finals.This time,his opponent was bigger,stronger,and more experienced.For a while,the boy appeared to be overmatched.Concerned that the boy might get hurt,the referee called a time-out.He was about to stop the match when the judo master intervened.“No,”the judo master insisted,“Let him continue.”Soon after the match resumed,his opponent made a critical mistake:he dropped his guard. Instantly,the boy used his move to pin him.The boy had won the match and the tournament.He was the champion.On the way home,the boy and his judo master reviewed every move in each and every match. Then the boy summoned the courage to ask what was really on his mind.“Sir,how did I win the tournament with only one move?”“You won for two reasons,”the master answered.“First,you’ve almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo.Second,the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to grab your left arm.”31.Why did the boy want to learn judo?A.He wanted to get over the accident.B.He wanted to make up for his disability.C.He wanted to exercise his right arm.D.The reason was not mentioned in the passage.32.When a referee calls a“time-out”,________.A.the time has run outB.the game stops for a short timeC.either side can claim victoryD.the game ends in a tie33.Why did the master insist on continuing the match?A.He didn’t want to give the opponent an advantage.B.The boy was confident of winning.C.He had confidence in the boy’s skill.D.All he cared about was winning the final.34.What probably caused the defeat of the boy’s opponent in the final?A.Over-confidence.B.Impatience.C.Inexperience.D.Exhaustion.35.Why did the master teach the boy only that one move?A.The boy could not do other moves with only one arm.B.It was the only move the master knew well.C.It was the move his opponent would not be good at.D.His opponent would be helpless once he made that move.36.What does the passage mainly tell us?A.One can turn a weakness into an advantage.B.It is very difficult to have a good teacher.C.Even a disabled person can win a match.D.Practice makes perfect.Passage TwoMy five-year-old daughter knew exactly what she wanted for Christmas of1977,and told me so. Yes,she still would like the pink-and-green plastic umbrella,books,long nightgown,slippers—fine. But really,there was only one thing that mattered:a Barbie Townhouse,with all the accessories.This was a surprise.Rebecca was not a Barbie girl,preferred stuffed animals to dolls,and wasn’t drawn to play in a structured environment.Always a make-up-the-rules,design-my-own-world,do-it-my-way kid.Maybe,I thought,the point wasn’t Barbie but the house,which she could claim for herself,since we’d already moved five times during her brief life.Next day,I stopped at the mall.The huge Barbie Townhouse box was there:“3Floors ofHigh-Styled Fun!Elevator Can Stop on All Floors!”Some Assembly Required.Uh-oh.My track record for assembling things was miserable.Brooklyn-born,I was raised in apartment buildings in a family that didn’t build things.A few years earlier,I’d spent one week assembling a six-foot-tall jungle gym from a kit containing so many parts.I spent the first four hours sorting and the last two hours trying to figure out why there were so many pieces.The day after I finished building it,as if toremind me of my limitations,a tornado(龙卷风)touched down close enough to scatter the jungle gym across an acre of field.I assembled the Barbie Townhouse on Christmas Eve.Making it level,keeping the columns from looking like they’d melted and been refrozen,and getting that elevator to work were almost more than I could manage.And building it in curse-free silence so my daughter would continue sleeping—if,in fact,she was sleeping—added a layer of challenge.By dawn I was done.Shortly thereafter,my daughter walked into the living room.Her surprise may not be real,but her delight was utterly genuine and moves me to this day,34years later.Rebecca had spurred me to do something I didn’t think I could do.It was for her,and—like so much of the privilege of being her father—it brought me further outside myself and let me overcome doubts about my capacities.37.In the author’s eyes,his little daughter was________.A.obedientB.unstableC.originalD.stubborn38.The author thought that his daughter’s choice of the Barbie Townhouse________.A.was natural for a five-year-old girlB.was influenced by her life experienceC.reflected the change in her tasteD.brought her back to normal39.For the author,assembling things________.A.was largely in his bloodB.was a challenge he enjoyedC.was always his weak pointD.was part of his family education40.Assembling the Barbie Townhouse________.A.brought out the author’s potentialsB.turned out to be easier than expectedC.actually drove the author crazyD.was a bad memory for the author41.In the last paragraph the author mainly expressed________.A.his pride in being a fatherB.his gratitude to his daughterC.his concern about his capabilityD.his delight in helping his daughter42.What can be learned about the relationship between the author and his daughter?A.They are on good terms with each other.B.They barely speak to each other.C.They are polite but cold to each other.D.They keep secrets from each other.Passage ThreeIt is all very well to blame traffic jam,the cost of petrol and the fast pace of modern life,but manners on the roads are becoming deplorable.Everybody knows that the nicest men become monsters behind the wheel.It is all very well,again,to have a tiger in the tank,but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter.You might tolerate the odd road-hog(占道者),but nowadays thewell-mannered motorist is the exception to the rule.Perhaps the situation calls for a“Be Kind to Other Drivers”campaign,otherwise it may get completely out of hand.Road courtesy is not only good manners,but good sense too.It takes the most good-tempered of drivers to resist the temptation to hit back when subjected touncivilized behavior.A friendly nod or a wave of acknowledgement in response to an act of courtesy helps to create an atmosphere of goodwill and tolerance so necessary in modern traffic conditions.But such acknowledgements of courtesy are all too rare today.Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize courtesy when they see it.Contrary to general opinion,young drivers have better manners than their seniors.But this is short-lived in the world of modern driving where many drivers neither expect nor give any mercy. This may be encouraged on the battlefield but is out of place on the roads.Lorry drivers say they have almost abandoned the practice of signaling cars to overtake when the road is clear,because many of the cars took too long to pass.They couldn’t be bothered to select a lower gear.The car drivers,after overtaking,slowed down again and hogged the road.Again,a motoring magazine has recently drawn attention to the increasing number of drivers who never wait for gaps.“They manufacture them by force,using their direction indicators as a threat rather than a warning.”Punch-ups(打群架)are quite common.It can’t be long before we hear of pistols and knives being used.Driving is essentially a state of mind.However technically skilled a driver may be,he can’t be an advanced motorist if he is always arrogant and aggressive.43.The author is most concerned about________.A.traffic jamB.road mannersC.fast pace of lifeD.high cost of petrol44.The word“deplorable”(Para.1)most probably means“________”.A.more seriousB.more temptingC.disturbingD.noticeable45.What is the main idea of Paragraph2?A.Many drivers tend to fight back against rude behaviors.B.A little courtesy may help ease the tensions on the road.C.Goodwill and tolerance may help relieve traffic jam.D.Many drivers nowadays lack a good sense of courtesy.46.It can be learned from Paragraph3that________.A.young drivers are more aggressiveB.young drivers would soon lose their good mannersC.elder drivers are more cautiousD.elder drivers should improve their driving skills47.An example of good manners on the roads is________.A.signaling cars to overtakeB.manufacturing a gapC.selecting a lower gearing the direction indicator48.According to the author,a good driver should________.A.be technically skilledB.have a good state of mindC.be sympathetic with othersD.take good care of his vehiclePassage FourOn how the world has changed over the last50years,not all of it has been good.As you are looking for organic food information,you have obviously become aware that a better alternative exists and you are taking a critical look at the source and production practices of the companies producing the world’s food supplies.The purpose of organic food information is to give you an understanding of what is going into your food.You will see that there are many benefits to organic food that you didn’t know before.The basis behind knowing about organic food information is the fact that farmers are resorting to usingartificial fertilizers and pesticides(杀虫剂)to control disease and insect attack in order to produce more crops to satisfy growing demand.These artificial fertilizers leave something poisonous in and on the fruit and vegetables we consume which in turn is absorbed and stored by our bodies.Even the quality of food has gone down in recent years.Today’s fruits have nowhere near the Vitamin C levels they did at one time.However,with organic food information you learn that organic food has fifty percent more nutrients,minerals and vitamins than any other form of produce that has been grown under intensive farming.If you are eating non-organic produce you will have to eat more fruit in order to make up for this deficiency.But then the dangerous cycle continues since you will be eating more chemicals that are worse for your health than they are good for you.Another aspect of organic food information is the production of meat and poultry(家禽).Most only consider produce when it comes to organic food information disregarding the antibiotics and hormones that are given to both cattle and poultry that are being force fed.Ask yourself what happens to all these antibiotics and hormones when the animal is killed,the remaining of these antibiotics and growth hormones reside in the meat which are then consumed,digested and stored in human bodies. There is no way that an animal that isn’t kept in healthy conditions can produce healthy food for humans to eat.You have nothing to lose by trying organic product,not only will it be healthy for you but you will also be able to eat produce and meat the way they are supposed to be.You will likely be so impressed with the taste of organic fruit that you willnever return to the mass-produced fruit again.While cost and availability can be a big issue for some,you can do a bit of research online and find a local store that stocks organic produce for a reasonable price.49.It is stated in Paragraph1that organic food________.A.is considered as a better choiceB.is mostly supplied by world-famous companiesC.has become popular over the last50yearsD.reflects the change of production practices50.Farmers use artificial fertilizers and pesticides to________.A.satisfy people’s critical demandB.develop better farming technologyC.get a higher crop yieldD.keep people in better health51.According to Paragraph3,organic food________.A.has gone down in qualityB.has more nutrientsC.can replace mass-produced foodcks Vitamin C52.What does the author say about meat and poultry?anic meat and poultry is hardly available.B.A great amount of meat is consumed every year.C.Merciless killing of the animals lowers their quality.D.They may contain antibiotics and growth hormones.53.In the last paragraph,people are advised to________.A.eat traditional produce and meatB.return to mass-produced fruitsC.do the cost and availability researchD.try organic product for better health and taste54.This passage is mainly about________.A.the benefits of organic food informationB.the challenges facing the world food industryC.changes in food production practicesD.a growing demand for high quality foodPassage FiveDrinking wastewater?The idea may sound distasteful,but new federally fundedresearch says more Americans are doing so—whether they know or not—and this reuse will be increasingly necessary as the U.S.population expands.Treated wastewater poses no greater health risks than existing water supplies and,in some cases, may be even safer to drink,according to a report released by the National Research Council.“We believe water reuse is an option to deal with growing water scarcity,especially in coastal areas,”says Jörg Drewes,an engineering professor at the Colorado School of Mines.“This can be done reliably without putting the public at risk,”he says,citing technological advances.He says it’s a waste not to reuse the nation’s wastewater,because almost all of it is treated before discharge.This water includes storm runoff(径流)as well as used water from homes,businesses and factories.In many places,the report says,the public does not realize it’s drinking water that was treated after being discharged as wastewater somewhere upstream.For example,wastewater discharged intothe Trinity River from Dallas/Fort Worth flows south into Lake Livingston,the source for Houston’s drinking water.Despite the growing importance of this reuse,the report says there’s been no systemic analysis of its extent nationwide since a1980study by the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency(EPA).Alan Roberson of the American Water Works Association says wastewater reuse is common,so the council’s report is important but not surprising.Roberson expects this recycling will continue to increase,especially for irrigation and industrial needs.He says it will take longer to establish potable (适于饮用的)uses because of public nervousness about drinking wastewater,however treated.“We have to do something to address water scarcity,”says Olga Naidenko,a senior scientist at the non-profit Environmental Working Group.“Less than10%of potable water is used for drinking, cooking,showering or dishwashing.We flush it down the toilet,literally.”Technologies exist to safely treat the water,she says,although some are expensive.The report says water reuse projects tend to cost more than most water conservation options but less than seawater desalination(脱盐)and other supply alternatives.It calls on the EPA to develop rules that set safe national standards.55.As can be learned from Paragraph1,drinking wastewater________.A.is to become a growing necessityB.is well received by the AmericansC.has caused heated public debatesD.has become the dominant option56.Which of the following statements would Jörg Drewes agree to?A.Water reuse may eventually put the public at risk.B.Water reuse is preferable to wasting water.C.Water reuse is far from a solution to water shortage.D.Water reuse is possible only after greater tech advances.ke Livingston is mentioned to show that the public________.A.accepts the fact of drinking wastewater calmlyB.is concerned about the safety of the drinking waterC.does not believe that wastewater is safe to drinkD.is not aware of the nature of their drinking water58.According to Alan Roberson,________.A.it is not safe to drink wastewaterB.the report has surprised the publicC.the report helps build up public confidenceD.the public has yet to accept drinking wastewater59.Olga Naidenko’s remarks emphasize________.A.the recent progressB.the existing problemsC.the new perspectiveD.the potential risks60.What does the report suggest to the EPA?A.Weighing different water conservation options.B.Exploring new technologies to treat wastewater.C.Setting up national standards for water reuse.D.Monitoring water supplies at a national level.Part IV

The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo master，and he was doing well. But he couldn't understand why，after three months of training，the master had taught him only one move. "Sir，" the boy finally said，"shouldn't I be learning more moves?"“This the only move you know，but this is the only move you'll ever needto know，" the master replied.Not quite understanding，but believing in his teacher，the boy kept training. Several months later，the master took the boy to his first tournament(锦标赛). Surprising himself，the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult，but after some time，his opponent became impatient and charged; the boy skillfully used his one move to win the match. Still amazed by his success the boy was now in the finals.This time，his opponent was bigger，stronger，and more experienced. For a while，the boy appeared to be overmatched. Concerned that the boy might get hurt, the referee alled a time-out, He was about to stop the match when the judo master intervened."No," the judo master insisted，"Let him continue."Soon after the match resumed，his opponent made a critical mistake: he dropped his guard. Instantly，the boy used his move to pin him. The boy had won the match and the tournament. He was the champion.On the way home，the boy and his judo master reviewed every move in each and every match. Then the boy summoned the courage to ask what was really on his mind."Sir，how did I win the tournament with only one move?""You won for two reasons," the master answered."First，you've almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. Second，the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to grab your left arm.”31．Why did the boy want to learn judo?A. He wanted to get over the accident.B.

Yes，she still would like the pink-and-green plastic umbrella，books，long nightgown，slippers-fine. But really，there was only one thing that mattered: a Barbie Townhouse, with all the accessories.This was a surprise. Rebecca was not a Barbie girl，preferred stuffed animals to dolls，and wasn't drawn to play in a structured environment. Always amake-up-the-rules，design-my-own-world，do-it-my-way kid. Maybe，I thought，the point wasn't Barbie but the house，which she could claim，for herself，sinc e we’d already moved five times during her brief life.Next day，I stopped at the mall. The huge Barbie Townhouse box was there. "3 Floors of High-Styled Fun! Elevator Can Stop on All Floors!" Some Assembly Required. Uh-oh. My track record for assembling things was miserable. Brooklyn-born，I was raised in apartment buildings in a family that didn't build things. A few years earlier，I'd spent one week assembling a six-foot-tall jungle gym from a kit containing so many parts. I spent the first four hours sorting and the last two hours trying to figure out why there were so many pieces. The day after I finished building it，as if to remind me of my limitations，a tornado(龙卷风) touched down close enough to scatter the jungle gym across an acre of field.I assembled the Barbie Townhouse on Christmas Eve. Making it level，keeping the columns from looking like they'd melted and been refrozen，and getting that elevator to work were almost more than I could manage. And building it in curse-free silence so my daughter would continue sleeping--if，in fact，she was sleeping-added a layer of challenge . By dawn I was done. Shortly thereafter，my daughter walked into the living room. Her surprise may not be real ，but her delight was utterly genuine and moves me. to this day，34 years later. Rebecca had spurred me to do something. I didn't think I could do. It was for her，and—like so much of the privilege of being her farther--it brought me further outside myself and let me overcome doubts about me capacities .37. In the author’s eyes, his little daughter was_______A. obedientB. unstableC. originalD. stubborn38. The author thought that his daughter’s choice of the Barbie Townhouse________.A. was natural for a five-year-old girlB. was influenced by her life experienceC. reflected the change in her tasteD. brought her back normal39.

What can be learned about the relationship between the author and his daughter?A. They are on good terms with each other.B. They barely speak to each other.C.

They keep secrets from each other.Passage ThreeIt is all very well to blame traffic jam, the cost of petrol and the fast paceof modem life, but manners on the roads are becoming deplorable. Everybody knows that the nicest men become monsters behind the wheel. It is all very well, again , to have a tiger in the tank，but to have one in the driver's seat is another matter. You might tolerate the odd road-hog(占道者)，but nowadays thewell-mannered motorist is the exception to the rule. Perhaps the situation calls for a "Be Kind to Other Drivers" campaign，otherwise it may get completely out of hand.Road courtesy is not only good manners，but good sense too. It takes the most good-tempered of drivers to resist the temptation to hit back when subjected to uncivilized behavior. A friendly nod or a wave of acknowledgement in response to an act of courtesy helps to create an atmosphere of goodwill and tolerance so necessary in modem traffic conditions. But such acknowledgements of courtesy are all too rare today. Many drivers nowadays don't even seem able to recognize courtesy when they see it. Contrary to general opinion，young drivers have better manners than their seniors. But this is short-lived in the world of modern driving where many drivers neither expect nor give any mercy. This may be encouraged on the battlefield but is out of place on the roads.Lorry drivers say they have almost abandoned the practice of signaling carsto overtake when the road is clear, because many of the cars took too long to pass. They couldn't be bothered to select a lower gear. The car drivers, after overtaking, slowed down again and hogged the road. Again, a motoring magazine has recently drawn attention to the increasing number of drivers who never wait for gaps." They manufacture them by force，using their direction indicators as a threat rather than a warning." Punch-ups(打群架) are quite common. It can't be long before we hear of pistols and knives being used.Driving is essentially a state of mind. However technically skilled a driver may be，he can't be an advanced motorist if he is always arrogant and aggressive.43. The author is most concerned about________.A. traffic jamB. road mannersC. fast pace of lifeD. high cost of petrol44.

According to the author，a good driver should_______.A. be technically skilledB. have a good state of mindC. be sympathetic with othersD. take good care of his vehiclePassage FourOn how the world has changed over the last 50 years，not all of it has been good. As you are looking for organic food information, you have obviously become aware that a better alternative exists and you are taking a critical look at the source and production practices of the compan ies producing the world’s food supplies.The purpose of organic food information is to give you an understanding of what is going into your food. You will see that there are many benefits to organic food that you didn't know before. The basis behind knowing about organic food information is the fact that farmers are resorting to using artificial fertilizers and pesticides(杀虫剂) to control disease and insect attack in order to produce more crops to satisfy growing demand. These artificial fertilizers leave something poisonous in and on the fruit and vegetables we consume which in turn is absorbed and stored by our bodies.Eve n the quality of food has gone down in recent years. Today’s fruits have nowhere near the Vitamin C levels they did at one time. However，with organic food information you learn that organic food has fifty percent more nutrients，minerals and vitamins than any other form of produce that has been grown under intensive farming. If you are eating non-organic produce you will have to eat more fruit in order to make up for this deficiency. But then the dangerous cycle continues since you will be eating more chemicals that are worse for your health than they are good for you.Another aspect of organic food information is the production of meat and poultry (家禽). Most only consider produce when it comes to organic foodinformation disregarding the antibiotics and hormones that are given to both cattle and poultry that are being force fed. Ask yourself what happens to all these antibiotics and hormones when the animal is killed，the remaining of these antibiotics and growth hormones reside in the meat which are then consumed，digested and stored in human bodies. There is no way that an animal that isn't kept in healthy conditions can produce healthy food for humans to eat.You have nothing to lose by trying organic product，not only will it be healthy for you but you will also be able to eat produce and meat the way they are supposed to be. You will likely be so impressed with the taste of organic fruit that you will never return to the mass-produced fruit again. While cost and availability can be a big issue for some，you can do a bit of research online and find a local store that stocks organic produce for a reasonable price.49. It is stated in Paragraph 1 that organic food ________.A. is considered as a better choiceB. is mostly supplied by world-famous companiesC. has become popular over the last 50 yearsD. reflects the change of production practices50. Farmers use artificial fertilizers and pesticides to________.A. satisfy people's critical demandB. develop better farming technologyC. get a higher crop yieldD. keep people in better health51. According to Paragraph 3，organic food________. .A. has gone down in qualityB. has more nutrientsC. can replace mass-produced foodD. lacks Vitamin C52. What does the author say about meat and poultry? ________.A. Organic meat and poultry is hardly available.B. A great amount of meat is consumed every year.C. Merciless killing of the animals lowers their quality.D. They may contain antibiotics and growth hormones.53. In the last paragraph, people are advised to ________. .A. eat traditional produce and meatB. return to mass-produced fruitsC. do the cost and availability researchD. try organic product for better health and taste54. This passage is mainly about________. .A. the benefits of organic food informationB. the challenges facing the world food industryC. changes in food production practicesD. a growing demand high quality foodPassage FiveDrinking waste water? The idea may sound distasteful，but new federally funded research says more Americans are doing so-whether they know ornot-and this reuse will be increasingly necessary as the U.S. population expands.Treated wastewater poses no greater health risks than existing water supplies and, in some cases, may be even safer to drink，according to a report released by the National Research Council. “We believe water reuse is an option to deal with growing water scarcity, especially in coastal areas”, says Jorg Drewes, anengineering professor at the Colorado School of Mines. "This can be done reliably without putting the public at risk”，he says，citing technological advances. He says it's a waste not to reuse the nation's wastewater，because almost all of it is treated before discharge. This water includes storm runoff(径流) as well as used water from homes，businesses and factories.In many places，the report says，the public does not realize it's drinking water that was treated after being discharged as wastewater somewhere upstream. For example，wastewater discharged into the Trinity River from Dallas/Fort Worth flows south into Lake Livingston，the source for Houston's drinking water. Despite the growing importance of this reuse，the report says there's been no systemic analysis of its extent nationwide since a 1980 study by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Alan Roberson of the American Water Works Association says wastewater reuse is common, so the council's report is important but not surprising. Roberson expects this recycling will continue to increase，especially for irrigation and industrial needs. He says it will take longer to establish potable(适于饮用的) uses because of public nervousness about drinking wastewater, however treated.“We have to do something to address water scarcity”, says Olga Naidenko, a senior scientist at the non-profit Environmental Working Group. “Less than 10 of potable water is used for drinking，cooking，showering or dishwashing. We flush it down the toilet，literally.” Technologies exist to safely treat the water，she says，although some are expensive.The report says water reuse projects tend to cost more，than most water conservation options but less than seawater desalination(脱盐) and other supply alternatives. It calls on the EPA to develop rules that set safe national standards.55. As can be learned from Paragraph 1, drinking wastewater_______.A. is to become a growing necessityB. is well received by the AmericansC. has caused heated public debatesD. has become the dominant option56. Which of the following statements would Jorg Drewes agree to?_______.A. Water reuse may eventually put the public at risk.B. Water reuse is preferable to wasting water.C. Water reuse is far from a solution to water shortage.D. Water reuse is possible only after greater tech advances.57. Lake Livingston is mentioned to show that the public________.A. accepts the fact of drinking wastewater calmlyB. is concerned about the safety of the drinking waterC. does not believe that wastewater is safe to drink.D. is not aware of the nature of their drinking water58. According to Alan Roberson, ________.A. it is not safe to drink wastewaterB. the report has surprised the publicC. the report helps build up public confidenceD. the public has yet to accept drinking waste water59. Olga Naidenko’s remarks emphasize________.A. the recent progressB. the existing problemsC. the new perspectiveD. the potential risks60. What does the report suggest to the EPA?________.A. Weighing different water conservation options.B. Exploring new technologies to treat wastewater.C. Setting up national standards for water reuse.D. Monitoring water supplies at a national level.Part IV Cloze (15 minutes, 15 points, 1 for each)Directions: In this part, there is a passage with 15 blanks.

The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo master， and he was doing well. But he couldn't understand why， after three months oftraining，the master had taught him only one move.1材料来源于中国人民大学在职研招办/yingyu/"Sir，" the boy finally said， "shouldn't I be learning more moves?"“This the only move you know， but this is the only move you'll ever need to know，" the master replied.Not quite understanding， but believing in his teacher， the boy kept training.Several months later， the master took the boy to his first tournament(锦标赛).Surprising himself， the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult， but after some time，his opponent became impatient and charged; the boy skillfully used his one move to win the match. Still amazed by his success， the boy was now in the finals.This time， his opponent was bigger， stronger， and more experienced. For a while，the boy appeared to be overmatched. Concerned that the boy might get hurt , the referee alled a time-out ,He was about to stop the match when the judomaster intervened."No，" the judo master insisted，"Let him continue."Soon after the match resumed， his opponent made a critical mistake: he dropped his guard. Instantly， the boy used his move to pin him. The boy had won the match and the tournament. He was the champion.On the way home， the boy and his judo master reviewed every move in each and every match. Then the boy summoned the courage to ask what was really on his mind."Sir， how did I win the tourτlament with only one move?""You won for two. reasons，" the master answered."First， you've almost mastered one of the most difficult throwsin all of judo.Second， the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to grab your left arm”31．Why did the boy want to learn judo?A.

Yes， she still would like the pink-and-green plastic umbrella， books， long nightgown， slippers-fine. But really， there was only one thing that mattered: a Barbie Townhouse， with all the accessories.This was a surprise. Rebecca was not a Barbie girl， preferred stuffed animals to dolls， and wasn't drawn to play in a structured environment. Always a make-up-the-rules， design-my-own-world， do-it-my-way kid. Maybe， I thought， the point wasn't Barbie but the house， which she could claim，for herself， since we’d already moved five times during her brief life.Next day， I stopped at the mall. The huge Barbie Townhouse box was there: "3 Floors of High-Styled Fun! Elevator Can Stop on All Floors!" Some Assembly Required.Uh-oh. My track record for assembling things was miserable. Brooklyn-born， I was raised in apartment buildings in a family that didn't build things. A few yearsearlier，I 'd spent one week assernbling a six-foot-tall jungle gym from a kit containing so many parts. I spent the first four hours sorting and the last two hours trying to figure out why there were so many pieces. The day after I finished building it， as if to remind me of my limitations， a tornado(龙卷风) touched down close enough to scatter the jungle gym across an acre of field.I assembled the Barbie Townhouse on Christmas Eve. Making it level， keeping the columns from looking like they'd melted and been refrozen， and getting that elevator to work were almost more than I could manage. And building it in curse-free silence so my daughter would continue sleeping--if， in fact， she was sleeping-added a layer of challenge .By dawn I was done .Shortly thereafter， my daughter walked into the living room. Her surprise may not be real ， but her delight was utterly genuine and moves me. to this day， 34 years later. Rebecca had spurred me to dosomething、I didn't think I could do. It was for her， and一like so much of the privilege of being her farther--it brought me further outside myself and let me overcome doubts about me capacities .37.In the author’s eyes , his little daughter was_______A. obedientB. unstableC. originalD. stubborn38 .The author thought that his daughter’s choice of the BarbieTownhouse ,________A .was na1tural for a five-year-old girlB．was influenc2ed by her life experienceC．reflected the change in her tasteD．brought her back normal39. For the author， assembling things_______•A. was largely in his bloodB. was a challenge he enjoyedC. was always his weak pointD. was part of his family education40. Assembling the Barbie Townhouse_________________.A. brought out the author's potentialsB. turned out to be easier than expectedC. actually drove the author crazy.D. D. was a bad memory for the author41.

What can be learned about the relationship between the author andhis daughter?A. They are on good terms with each other.B. They barely speak to each other.C. They are polite but cold to each other.D. They keep secrets from each other.Passage ThreeIt is all very well to blame traffic jam， the cost of petrol and the fast pace of modem life， but manners on the roads are becoming deplorable. Everybody knows that the nicest men become monsters behind the wheel. It is all very well， again ,to have a tiger in the tank， but to have one in the driver's seat is another matter. You might tolerate the odd road-hog(占道者)， but nowadays the well-mannered motorist is the exception to the rule. Perhaps the situation calls for a "Be Kind to Other Drivers" campaign， otherwise it may get completely out of hand.Road courtesy is not only good manners， but good sense too, It takes the most good-tempered of drivers to resist the temptation to hit back when subjected to uncivilized behavior. A friendly nod or a wave of acknowledgement in response to an act of courtesy helps to create an atmosphere of goodwill and tolerance so necessary in modem traffic conditions. But such acknowledgements of courtesy are all too rare today. Many drivers nowadays don't even seem able to recognize courtesy when they see it.Contrary to general opinion， young drivers have better manners than their seniors. But this is short-lived in the world of modern driving where many drivers neither expect nor give any mercy. This may be encouraged on the battlefield but is out of place on the roads.Lorry drivers say they have almost abandoned the practice of signaling cars to overtake when the road is clear, because many of the cars took too long to pass. They couldn't be bothered to select a lower gear. The car drivers, after overtaking, slowed down again and hogged the road. Again, a motoring magazine has recently drawn attention to the increasing number of drivers who never wait for gaps."They manufacture them by force， using their direction indicators as a threat rather than a warning."Punch-ups(打群架)arequite common. It can't be long before we hear of pistols and knives being used.Driving is essentially a state of mind. However technically skilled a driver may be，he can't be an advanced motorist if he is always arrogant and aggressive.43. The author is most concerned about .A. traffic jamB. road mannersC. fast pace of lifeD. high cost of petrol44. The word "deplorable " (Para. 1) most probably means " ".A. more serious 1B. more temptingC. disturbingD. noticeable45. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?A. Many drivers tend to fight back against rude behaviors.B. A little courtesy may help ease the tensions on the road.C. Goodwill and tolerance may help relieve traffic jam.D. Many drivers nowadays lack a good sense of courtesy.46. It can be learned from Paragraph 3 that .A. young drivers are more aggressiveB. young drivers would soon lose their good mannersC. elder drivers are more cautiousD. elder drivers should improve their driving skills47. An example of good manners on the roads is .A. signaling cars to overtakeB. manufacturing a gapC. selecting a lower gearD. using the direction indicator48. According to the author， a good driver should .1材料来源于中国人民大学在职研招办/yingyu/A. be technically skilledB. have a good state of mindC. be sympathetic with othersD. take good care of his vehiclePassage FourOn how the world has changed over the last 50 years，not all ofit has been good.

But he couldn't understand why，after three months of training，the master had taught him only one move."Sir ， " the boy finally said，"shouldn't I be learning more moves?"“This the only move you know，but this is the only move you'll ever need to know，" the master replied.in his teacher ，the boy Not quite understanding ，but believingkept training.Several months later，the master took the boy to his first tournament( 锦标赛 ).Surprising himself，the boy easily won his first two matches.The third matchproved to be more difficult，but after sometime ， his opponent became impatient and charged; the boy skillfully used his onemove to win the match. Still amazed by his success the boywas now in the finals.This time ，his opponent was bigger ，stronger ，and more experienced. For a while ，the boy appeared to be overmatched.

Yes，she still would likethe pink-and-green plastic umbrella，books，long nightgown，slippers-fine. But really ，there was only one thing thatmattered: a Barbie Townhouse, with all the accessories.This was a surprise. Rebecca was not a Barbie girl，preferredstuffed animals to dolls，and wasn't drawn to play in astructured environment. Always a make-up-the-rules，design-my-own-world， do-it-my-way kid.Maybe，I thought，thepoint wasn't Barbie but the house，which she could claim，forherself ，since we ’d already moved five times during herbrief life.Next day，I stopped at the mall. The huge Barbie Townhouse box was there. "3 Floors of High-Styled Fun! Elevator Can Stop onAll Floors!" SomeAssembly Required. Uh-oh. My track record forassembling things was miserable. Brooklyn-born，I was raisedin apartment buildings in a family that didn't build things. Afew years earlier ，I'd spent one week assembling a six-foot-tall jungle gym from a kit containing so many parts. Ispent the first four hours sorting and the last two hourstrying to figure out why there were so many pieces.The day afterI finished building it ， as if to remind me of my limitations，a tornado( 龙卷风 ) touched down close enough to scatter thejungle gym across an acre of field.I assembled the Barbie Townhouse on Christmas Eve. Making itlevel ， keeping the columns from looking like they'd melted and been refrozen ， and getting that elevator to work were almostmore than I could manage. And building it in curse-free silenceso my daughter would continue sleeping--if，in fact，she was sleeping-added a layer of challenge . By dawn I was done.Shortly thereafter， my daughter walked into the living room.Her surprise may not be real，but her delight was utterly genuine and moves me. to this day，34 years later.Rebecca had spurred me to do something. I didn't think I could do. It wasfor her ，and—like so much of the privilege of being herfarther--it brought me further outside myself and let meovercome doubts about me capacities .37. In the authorA. obedient C. original ’s eyes, his little daughter was_______B. unstableD. stubborn38.The author thought that his daughter ’s choice of the Barbie Townhouse ________.A.was natural for a five-year-old girlB.was influenced by her life experienceC.reflected the change in her tasteD.brought her back normal39. For the author，assembling things_______.A. was largely in his bloodB. was a challenge he enjoyedC. was always his weak pointD. was part of his family education40.Assembling the Barbie Townhouse_______.A.brought out the author's potentialsB.turned out to be easier than expectedC.actually drove the author crazyD.was a bad memory for the author41.In the last paragraph the author mainly expressed______.A.his pride in being a fatherB.B. his gratitude to his daughterC.his concern about his capabilityD.his delight in helping his daughter42. What can be learned about the relationship between the author and his daughter?A. They are on good terms with each other.B. They barely speak to each other.C.

Everybody knows that the nicest men become monsters behind the wheel. It is all very well, again , to havea tiger in the tank，but to have one in the driver's seat isanother matter. You might tolerate the odd road-hog( 占道者 ) ， but nowadays the well-mannered motorist is the exception to therule. Perhaps the situation calls for a "Be Kind to OtherDrivers" campaign，otherwise it may get completely out ofhand.Road courtesy is not only good manners，but good sense too. It takes the most good-tempered of drivers to resist thetemptation to hit back when subjected to uncivilized behavior.A friendly nod or a wave of acknowledgement in response toan act of courtesy helps to create an atmosphere of goodwilland tolerance so necessary in modem traffic conditions. Butsuch acknowledgements of courtesy are all too rare today. Many drivers nowadays don't even seem able to recognize courtesy when they see it.Contrary to general opinion ，young drivers have better manners than their seniors. But this is short-lived in the world ofmodern driving where many drivers neither expect nor give any mercy. This may be encouraged on the battlefield but is out of place on the roads.Lorry drivers say they have almost abandoned the practice ofsignaling cars to overtake when the road is clear, becausemany of the cars took too long to pass. They couldn't be bothered to select a lower gear. The car drivers, afterovertaking, slowed down again and hogged the road. Again, a motoring magazine has recently drawn attention to theincreasing number of drivers who never wait for gaps." They manufacture them by force，using their direction indicators as a threat rather than a warning." Punch-ups(打群架 ) are quite common. It can't be long before we hearof pistols and knives being used.Driving is essentially a state of mind. However technicallyskilled a driver may be ，he can't be an advanced motorist if heis always arrogant and aggressive.43.The author is most concerned about________.A. traffic jamB. road mannersC.fast pace of life D.high cost of petrol44.The word "deplorable" (Para. 1) most probably means________.A. more seriousB. more temptingC. disturbingD. noticeable45.What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? ________.A. Many drivers tend to fight back against rude behaviors.B. A little courtesy may help ease the tensions on the road.C. Goodwill and tolerance may help relieve traffic jam.D. Many drivers nowadays lack a good sense of courtesy.46. It can be learned from Paragraph 3 that________.A. young drivers are more aggressiveB. young drivers would soon lose their good mannersC. elder drivers are more cautiousD. elder drivers should improve their driving skills47.An example of good manners on the roadsis_______.A.signaling cars to overtakeB.manufacturing a gapC.selecting a lower gearing the direction indicator48.According to the author，a good driver should_______.A.be technically skilledB.have a good state of mindC.be sympathetic with othersD.take good care of his vehiclePassage FourOn how the world has changed over the last 50 years，not all of it has been good. As you are looking for organic food information, you have obviously become aware that a better alternative exists and you are taking a critical look at thesource and production practices of the companies producing the world ’s food sup plies.The purpose of organic food information is to give you ansee that understanding of what is going into your food.You willthere are many benefits to organic food that you didn't knowbefore.The basis behind knowing about organic food information is the fact that farmers are resorting to using artificialfertilizers and pesticides(杀虫剂 ) to control disease and insect attack in order to produce more crops to satisfy growing demand. These artificial fertilizers leave something poisonous in and on the fruit and vegetables we consume which in turn is absorbed and stored by our bodies.Even the quality of food has gone down in recent years.Today’s fruits have nowhere near the Vitamin C levels they did at onetime. However ，with organic food information you learn thatorganic food has fifty percent more nutrients，minerals and vitamins than any other form of produce that has been grownunder intensive farming. If you are eating non-organic produce you will have to eat more fruit in order to make up for thisdeficiency. But then the dangerous cycle continues since youwill be eating more chemicals that are worse for your healththan they are good for you.Another aspect of organic food information is the productionof meat and poultry( 家禽).Most only consider produce when it comes to organic food information disregarding the antibiotics and hormones that are given to both cattle and poultry that are being force fed. Ask yourself what happens to all theseantibiotics and hormones when the animal is killed， the remaining of these antibiotics and growth hormones reside inthe meat which are then consumed， digested and stored in human bodies. There is no way that an animal that isn't kept in healthy conditions can produce healthy food for humans to eat.You have nothing to lose by trying organic product，not only will it be healthy for you but you will also be able to eatproduce and meat the way they are supposed to be. You will likely be so impressed with the taste of organic fruit that you willnever return to the mass-produced fruit again. While cost and availability can be a big issue for some， you can do a bit of research online and find a local store that stocksorganic produce for a reasonable price.49. It is stated in Paragraph 1 that organic food ________.A. is considered as a better choiceB. is mostly supplied by world-famous companiesC. has become popular over the last 50 yearsD. reflects the change of production practices50.Farmers use artificial fertilizers and pesticidesto________.A. satisfy people's critical demandB. develop better farming technologyC. get a higher crop yieldD. keep people in better health51. According to Paragraph 3，organic food________..A. has gone down in qualitymore nutrientsC. can replace mass-produced food Vitamin CB. has D. lacks52.What does the author say about meat and poultry? ________.anic meat and poultry is hardly available.B.A great amount of meat is consumed every year.C.Merciless killing of the animals lowers their quality.D.They may contain antibiotics and growth hormones.53.In the last paragraph, people are advised to________..A. eat traditional produce and meatB. return to mass-produced fruitsC. do the cost and availability researchD. try organic product for better health and taste54. This passage is mainlyabout________..A. the benefits of organic food informationB. the challenges facing the world food industryC. changes in food production practicesD. a growing demand high quality foodPassage FiveDrinking waste water? The idea maysound distasteful，but new federally funded research says more Americans are doingso-whether they know or not-and this reuse will be increasingly necessary as the U.S. population expands.Treated wastewater poses no greater health risks than existing water supplies and,in some cases,may be even safer to drink ，according to a report released by the National Research Council.“Webelieve water reuse is an option to deal with growing water scarcity,especially in coastal areas ”,says Jorg Drewes, an engineering professor at the Colorado School of Mines. "Thiscan be done reliably without putting the public at risk”，he says ，citing technological advances. He says it's a wastenot to reuse the nation's wastewater ，because almost all of it is treated before discharge. This water includes storm，businesses and runoff( 径流 ) as well as used water from homesfactories.In many places ，the report says，the public does not realizeit's drinking water that was treated after being discharged as wastewater somewhere upstream. For example，wastewater discharged into the Trinity River from Dallas/Fort Worth flows south into Lake Livingston，the source for Houston's drinking water.Despite the growing importance of this reuse，the report says there's been no systemic analysis of its extent nationwidesince a 1980 study by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Alan Roberson of the American Water Works Associationsays wastewater reuse is common, so the council's report is important but not surprising.Roberson expects this recycling will continue to increase，especially for irrigation andindustrial needs. He says it will take longer to establishpotable( 适于饮用的 ) uses because of public nervousness about drinking wastewater, however treated.“Wehave to do something to address water scarcity ”, says Olga Naidenko, a senior scientist at the non-profit Environmental Working Group. “Less than 10 of potable water is used fordrinking ，cooking ，showering or dishwashing. Weflush it down the toilet ，literally. ” Technologies exist to safely treat the water ，she says ， although some are expensive.The report says water reuse projects tend to cost more，than most water conservation options but less than seawaterdesalination( 脱盐 ) and other supply alternatives. It calls on the EPA to develop rules that set safe national standards.55.As can be learned from Paragraph 1, drinkingwastewater_______.A. is to become a growing necessityB. is well received by the AmericansC. has caused heated public debatesD. has become the dominant option56.Which of the following statements would Jorg Drewes agreeto?_______.A. Water reuse may eventually put the public at risk.B. Water reuse is preferable to wasting water.C. Water reuse is far from a solution to water shortage.D. Water reuse is possible only after greater tech advances.ke Livingston is mentioned to show that thepublic________.A. accepts the fact of drinking wastewater calmlyB. is concerned about the safety of the drinking waterC. does not believe that wastewater is safe to drink.D. is not aware of the nature of their drinking water58.According to Alan Roberson, ________.A. it is not safe to drink wastewaterB. the report has surprised the publicC. the report helps build up public confidenceD. the public has yet to accept drinking waste water59.Olga Naidenko ’s remarks emphasize_ _______.A. the recent progressB. the existing problemsC. the new perspectiveD. the potential risks60.What does the report suggest to the EPA?________.A.Weighing different water conservation options.B.Exploring new technologies to treat wastewater.C.Setting up national standards for water reuse.D.Monitoring water supplies at a national level.Part IV Cloze(15 minutes, 15 points, 1 for each)Directions:In this part, there is a passage with 15 blanks.For each blank there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D.

2012年同等学力英语冲刺练习及详解（十）阅读理解：The most noticeable trend among today’s media companies is vertical integration—an attempt to control several related aspects of the media business at once，each part helping the other. Besides publishing magazines and books，Time Warner，for example，owns Home Box Office（HBO），Warner movie studios，various cable TV systems throughout the United States and CNN as well. The Japanese company Matsushita owns MCA Records and Universal Studios and manufactures broadcast production equipment.To describe the financial status of today’s media is also to talk about acquisitions. The media are buying and selling each other in unprecedented numbers and forming media groups to position themselves in the marketplace to maintain and increase their profits. In 1986，the first time a broadcast network had been sold，two networks were sold that year—ABC and NBC.Media acquisitions have skyrocketed since 1980 for two reasons. The first is that most big corporations today are publicly traded companies，which means that their stock is traded on one of the nation’s stock exchanges. This makes acquisitions relatively easy.A media company that wants to buy a publicly owned company can buy that company’s stock when the stock becomes available. The open availability of stock in these companies means that anybody with enough money can invest in the American media industries，which is exactly how Rupert Murdoch joined the media business.The second reason for the increase in media alliances is that beginning in 1980，the Federal Communications Commission（FCC）gradually deregulated the broadcast media. Before 1980，for example，the FCC allowed one company to own only five TV stations，five AM radio stations，and five FM radio stations；companies also were required to hold onto a station for three years before the station could be sold. The post-1980 FCC eliminated the three-year rule and raised the number of broadcast holdings allowed for one owner. This trend of media acquisitions is continuing throughout the 1990s，as changing technology expands the market for media products. The issue of media ownership is important. If only a few corporations direct the media industries in this country，the outlets for differing political viewpoints and innovative ideas could be limited. [NextPage]56. What do Time Warner and Matsushita have in common？A. They both belong to Rupert Murdoch.B. They are both big American media corporations.C. They are both outlets of differing viewpoints and innovative ideas.D. They both own several different but related media businesses.57. Which of the following is true of the media？A. They used to sell and buy each other in great numbers.B. They are trading each other in greater numbers today.C. They used to be controlled by two networks—ABC and NBC.D. They have stopped the trend of acquisitions in the 1990s.58. According to the passage，what makes acquisitions easier？A. The changing technology employed by the media.B. The media’s increasing profits in the marketplace.C. The ever tougher regulations of the FCC on the media since 1980.D. The availability of the media’s stocks on stock exchanges.59. What is the FCC’s new policy regarding media alliances？A. It allows companies to sell their stocks publicly.B. It doesn’t allow companies to sell their s tocks publicly.C. It permits one company to own more media businesses at the same time.D. It has eliminated all post-1980 companies.60. The issue of media ownership is important because .A. it affects the amount of money the stockholders will makeB. it decides whether we can have different aspects of the mediaC. it concerns the channels through which to express opinionsD. it means that more and more people will hold onto only a few stations[NextPage]答案解析：当今媒体公司中最引人注目的趋势就是纵向结合，试图同时控制与媒体行业相关的多个部门，使各个部门互相帮助。

2012年同等学力英语冲刺练习及详解（一）阅读理解Learning disabilities are very common. They affect perhaps 10 percent of all children. Four times as many boys as girls have learning disabilities.Since about 1970，new research has helped brain scientists understand these problems better. Scientists now know there are many different kinds of learning disabilities and that they are caused by many different things. There is no longer any question that all learning disabilities result from differences in the way the brain is organized.You cannot look at a child and tell if he or she has a learning disability. There is no outward sign of the disorder. So some researchers began looking at the brain itself to learn what might be wrong.In one study，researchers examined the brain of a learning-disabled person，who had died in an accident. They found two unusual things. One involved cells in the left side of the brain，which control language. These cells normally are white. In the learning-disabled person，however，these cells were gray. The researchers also found that many of the nerve cells were not in a line the way they should have been. The nerve cells were mixed together.The study was carried out under the guidance of Norman Geschwind，an early expert on learning disabilities. Doctor Geschwind proposed that learning disabilities resulted mainly from problems in the left side of the brain. He believed this side of the brain failed to develop normally. Probably，he said，nerve cells there did not connect as they should. So the brain was like an electrical device in which the wires were crossed.Other researchers did not examine brain tissue. Instead，they measured the brain’s electrical activity and made a map of the electrical signals.Frank Duffy experimented with this technique at Children’s Hospital Medical Center in Boston. Doctor Duffy found large differences in the brain activity of normal children and those with reading problems. The differences appeared throughout the brain. Doctor Duffy said his research is evidence that reading disabilities involve damage to a wide area of the brain，not just the left side.1. Scientists found that the brain cells of a learning-disabled person differ from those of a normal person in .A. structure and functionB. color and functionC. size and arrangementD. color and arrangement2. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage？A. Learning disabilities may result from the unknown area of the brain.B. Learning disabilities may result from damage to a wide area of the brain.C. Learning disabilities may result from abnormal organization of brain cells.D. Learning disabilities may result from problems in the left side of the brain.3. All of the following statements are true EXCEPT that .A. many factors account for learning disorderB. a learning-disabled person shows no outward signsC. reading disabilities are a common problem that affects 10 percent of the populationD. the brain activity of learning-disabled children is different from that of normal children4. Doctor Duffy believed that .A. he found the exact cause of learning disabilitiesB. the problem of learning disabilities was not limited to the left side of the brainC. the problem of learning disabilities resulted from the left side of the brainD. the problem of learning disabilities did not lie in the left side of the brain5. According to the passage we can conclude that further researches should be made .A. to investigate possible influences on brain development and organizationB. to study how children learn to read and write，and use numbersC. to help learning-disabled children to develop their intelligenceD. to explore how the left side of the brain functions in language learning答案解析：无学习能力的现象非常普遍。
它影响了10％的儿童。
无学习能力的男孩的数量是女孩的四倍。
大约从1970年以来，新的研究已经帮助脑科学家更好地探讨了这一问题。
科学家现在了解到：有很多不同种类的无学习能力，它们由许多不同的原因引起。
可以肯定的是：所有的无学习能力都是由大脑组合在一起的不同方式导致的。
你不可能看一眼某个儿童就说他或她有无无学习能力症，这种疾病没有外在表现。
因此，一些研究人员开始研究大脑本身，以便了解哪个部位出了什么问题。
在一项研究中，研究人员检查了一个死于意外事故的无学习能力者的大脑。
他们发现了两件不寻常的事情。
一件是与大脑左半部的细胞有关的，这些细胞控制语言，这些细胞在正常情况下是白色的。
然而，这个无学习能力者的细胞却是灰色的。
研究人员还发现，许多神经细胞并没有按照它们应该的方式排成一条直线，而是交织在一起。
这项研究是在诺尔曼·盖茨维德的指导下进行的，他是一个早期研究无学习能力的专家。
盖茨维德医生指出，无学习能力主要是由于大脑左半部出现问题造成的。
他认为，大脑的这半部分没有正常发育。
他说，神经细胞没有按照它们应该的方式连接起来。
所以，大脑就像一个线路交叉在一起的电子设备。
其他研究人员没有对脑部组织进行研究。
相反，他们检测了脑部的电子活动，并绘制了一幅电子信号图。
弗兰克·达菲在波士顿的儿童医院医学中心用这种技术进行了试验。
他发现，正常儿童与那些无学习能力的儿童的脑部活动有很大差异。
这些差异遍布大脑。
达菲医生说，他的研究证实：无学习能力与大脑许多部位的损伤有关，而不只是与大脑的左半部有关。
1. 【正确答案】D【考点类型】细节判断【解析过程】科学家们发现，没有学习能力的人的大脑细胞和一个正常人的大脑细胞的不同在于。
