Learning is natural. It begins the minute we were born. Our 36 teachers are our families. 37 home we learn to speak and to 38 and feed ourselves. We learn these and other skills by 39 our parents.Then we go to school. A teacher tells us 40 to learn. Many teachers teach us, and we pass many 41 .Then people say we are 42 .Are we really educated? Let’s think about the real m eaning of 43 . Knowing facts does not mean being able to solve problems. Solving problems 44 creativity, not just a good 45 . Some people who don’t know many facts are good at solving problems.Henry Ford is a good 46 . He goes to school at the age of 15. Later, when his company could not build cars 47 , he solved the problem. He thought of the assembly line (装配线). Today the answer seems 48 . Yet think of the many university graduates who have 49 solved such a problem.What does a good teacher do? Does he give students facts to 50 ? NO! A good teacher shows how to find answers. He shows us to the 51 of knowledge so we can learn to think for ourselves. When we are 52 , we know where to go.True learning combines (结合) intake with output. We take information 53 our brains. Then we use it. Think of a computer. It stores a lot of 54 but it can’t think. It only 55 commands. A person who only remembers facts hasn’t really learned.Learning takes place only when a person can use what he knows.36. A. first B. good C. normal D. second37. A. On B. To C. At D. With38.

Our own planet, Earth, is becoming more and more crowded and polluted. Luckily, we can start again and build a better world on Mars. Here is what life could be like.First of all, transport should be much better. At present, our spaceships are too slow to carry large numbers of people to Mars — it takes months. However, by 2100, the spaceship can travel at half the speed of light. It might take us two or three days to get to Mars!Secondly, humans need food, water and air to live. Scientists should be able to develop plants that can be grown on Mars. These plants will produce the food and air that we need. However, can these plants produce water for us? There is no answer now.There is a problem for us to live on Mars. Mars pulls us much less than the Earth does. This will be dangerous because we could easily jump too high and fly slowly away into space. To prevent this, humans on Mars have to wear special shoes to make themselves heavier.Life on Mars will be better than that on Earth in many ways. People will have more space. Living in a large building with 10 bedrooms is highly possible. Many people believe that robots will do most of our work, so we have more time for our hobbies.There will probably be no schools on Mars. Every student will have a computer at home which is connected to the Internet. They can study, do their homework and take exams in online schools. Each student will also have their own online teacher called “e-teacher”.However, in some ways, life on Mars may not be better than that on the earth today. Food will not be the same — meals will probably be in the form of pills and will not be as delicious as they are today. Also, space travel will make many people feel ill. The spaceship will travel fast but the journey to Mars will probably be very uncomfortable.56. According to the text, by the year 2100, some of us will possibly live __________.A. on MarsB. on the moonC. under the seaD. in the sun57. So far, how long will it take us from the earth to Mars by spaceship?A. Two or three daysB. A few monthsC. A few daysD. A few years58. In the future, the students on Mars ____________.A. will study mainly through the InternetB. will study mainly in a classroomC. will meet eac h other face to face every dayD. needn’t study at all59. Life on Mars will be better than life on the earth because ___________ .A. only a few people will live thereB. there will be more space and less work to doC. there will be much delicious foodD. all students don’t need to do any homework60. According to the text, which of the following about Mars is NOT true ?A. Transport will be much better and faster.B. We need to develop a special plant which can produce water.C. On Mars, we can jump higher than on the earth.D. Food will be much tastierBIt had been a year since Susan, 34, became blind. Because of a medical misdiagnosis (误诊), she was suddenly thrown into a world of darkness, anger and disappointment. Mark, her husband, drove her to work every day, even though they worked on opposite sides of the city. Soon, however, Mark realized the arrangement wasn’t working. Susan had to start taking the bus again. Just as he thought, Susan was frightened of the idea of taking the bus again. “How am I supposed to know where I am going? I feel like you’re abandoning (抛弃) me,” she responded bitterly.Mark taught her how to rely on her other senses, especially her hearing, to determine where she was and how to adapt to her new environment. Monday morning arrived, and they went their separate ways for the first time.On Friday morning, Susan took the bus to work as usual. As she was paying, the driver said, “I do envy(嫉妒) you.” Curious, she asked the driver, “Why do you say that?”The d river responded, “It must feel good to be taken care of and protected as you are.” “What do you mean?” she asked.The driver answered, “You know, every morning for the past week, a fine-looking gentleman in a military uniform has been standing across the street watching you as you get off the bus. He makes sure you cross the street safely and he watches until you enter your office building. Then he blows you a kiss, gives you a little salute (敬礼) and walks away.”Tears of happiness poured down Susan’s cheek s. Mark had given her a gift more powerful than sight — a gift of love that can bring light where there is darkness.61. Susan became blind because ______.A. the doctors treated her in the wrong wayB. she had a serious traffic accidentC. she was thrown into a world of darknessD. she had an eye illness62.

Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. A Blind WomanB. A Clever HusbandC. A World of DarknessD. A Powerful Gift of LoveCThe ancient kingdom of Egypt lay along the fertile (肥沃的) valley of the Nile River in northeastern Africa. For nearly three millennia(千年), the Egyptian kings ruled one of the ancient world’s richest and most powerful nations. So long was Egypt’s history that modern writers measure its time not in years but in dynasties.According to the legend (传说), a ruler named Menes was the first to unite the lands of northern and southern Egypt, an event that historians date to around 3100 B.C. Menes established the First Dynasty, and this event marks the beginning of the ancient Egyptian kingdom. At about the same time as the unification（统一）of Egypt came important advances in agriculture, metalworking, transportation, and communication in the Nile valley and in the Delta region where the Nile spreads out into several branches before reaching the Mediterranean Sea. During this time, the Egyptians also invented a system of hieroglyphs, or picture symbols to record important events.Menes and the other kings of the First Dynasty ruled during a period of Egyptian history known as the Old Kingdom. At this time, the city of Memphis, just south of the Nile Delta, served as the capital of ancient Egypt. As Egypt’s population increased, the kings ruling Memphis set about conquering（征服）neighboring lands, and as a result the realm(王国) grew wealthier. Menes’ successor, a king named Aha, invaded（入侵）Nubia, the land lying south of Egypt. Another First Dynasty king, Den, successfully fought the Bedouin, a people who lived in the deserts lying both to the east and west of the Nile valley.65. From the passage we know that ________.A. the Nile flows into the Mediterranean Sea directlyB. lots of writers feel like writing long stories about ancient EgyptC. ancient Egypt was a wealthy country in the ancient worldD. the Egyptian kings ruled Egypt for hundreds of years66. The ancient Egyptian kingdom was started by _______.A. MenesB. AhaC. DenD. Khufu67. The underlined word “hieroglyphs” in Paragraph 2 refers to______.A. paper used to write wordsB. pictures painted by ancient paintersC. symbols or pictures used in a writing systemD. poems used to record important events68. It has been ______ since the unification of Egypt.A. less than 4000 yearsB. more than 5000 yearsC. more than 3000 yearsD. less than 2000 years69. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. Nubian and Bedouin fought together against the Egyptians.B. Menes invaded Nubia, the land to the south of Egypt.C. The ancient kingdom of Egypt grew richer because of conquering neighboring lands.D. Memphis is still the capital of Egypt now.DIf we are asked exactly what we were doing a year ago, we might have to say that we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and written in it the account（陈述）of what we did each day, we should be able to give an answer to the question.It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written accounts of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the important happenings in their country, but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes there were not any written records at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write. For example, we know a great deal about the people who lived in China 4000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them. But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa, because they had not learned to write.Sometimes, of course, even if the people cannot write, they may know something of the past. They have heard about it from older people, and often songs，dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings, and those have been sung and acted and told for many generations, for most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past. We may call this “remembered history”. Some of it has now become written history, because words are much easier to record the history. But where there are no written records, such spoken stories are often very helpful.70. Which of the following ideas is not talked in the passage above?A. Remembered history is less reliable（可靠的）than written history.B. Written records of the past play a very important part in our learning of the human history.C. A written account of our daily activities helps us to answer some questions.D. Where there are no written records, there is no history.71. Remembered history refers to__________.A. history based on a person’s imagination（想象）.B. Stories of important happenings passed from mouth to mouth.C. Songs and dances about the most important events.D. Both B and C.72. Remembered history is regarded as valuable only when _________.A. it is written downB. there is no written accountC. it proves to be trueD. people are interested in it73. It can be inferred（推断）from the passage that we could have learned much more about our past than we do now if our ancestors（祖先）had ________.A. kept a written record of every past eventB .not burned their written records in warsC. told exactly stories of the most important happeningsD. made more songs and dances74. Which is true according to the passage?A. People in the old days did not keep records at all.B. We know everything that happened in the pastC. We may know something of the past completely from songs and dancesD. If we had written down the events that happened, we might have known much about the olddays.第四节：阅读短文，掌握其大意，然后从方框中所给的词中选出最恰当的单词，并用其适当形式填空。
