As I walked around the deck, I’d frequently stop and write in my journal. Being the only non-Asian person on the boat, this drew quite a few curious looks, and finally a small group of people gathered around me and watched me write as if AI were a sidewalk artist drawing portraits of passersby. I could tell they were enjoying watching me, so after I paused and smiled at them, I went on with my writing, mainly for their entertainment. But soon I stopped, and using my tiny amount of Chinese and their tiny amount of English, we introduced ourselves and told where we were from and where we were going. They took pictures of me with their friends and families, and I took pictures of them in return. When we arrived in Qingdao, I parted with my deck friends on the best terms and with a bit of advice about what to see and do in Qingdao.On another trip, after boarding a plane from Xiamen to Beijing, I discovered I’d lost my passport. Without it, I was stuck between two cities, neither of which was my home base.I tried to hide my panic, but I could see that the flight staff and the other passengers on the plane could tell. And maybe that was for the best because, to my amazement, they held up the flight and radioed the airport staff, who searched the airport while the flight staff searched the runway and the shuttle bubs. Meanwhile, many of the passengers had begun searching the cabin. I didn’t hear a single complaining voice; everyone was willing to help. Finally a police officer entered the plane and began to collect information from me. I was about to despair of finding my passport when suddenly a woman waved the small blue book in the air –she’d found it! The whole plane burst into smiles and applause. I was very relieved and grateful for the kindness I’d experienced from so many people who’d treated me like a friend in need and not just as a foreigner.1 The author felt uncomfortable as Chinese people were too open and curious abouthim. ( F )2 While he was drawing portraits of passers-by, a group of people gathered aroundhim. ( F )3 He didn't stop writing in his journal as people around him enjoyed watching him.( F )4 The group of people spoke a little English but he couldn't speak any Chinese. ( F )5 The author left his address and telephone number to his deck friends. ( F )Passage 2Are the following statements true or false according to the passage? Write T/F accordingly.Begin Each Day with a Fresh Plan of AttackYou’d hoped that when you got in this morning, it would be gone. But that towering pile of work – everything from mail to memos – is right where you left it. The boss pops in to ask if you can spare a few minutes. You’re drowning in a pile of papers, and she wants to know if you can spare a few minutes. All she’s going to do is to give you more work anyway. This job is impossible!Is that what your work life feels like day after day – an endless number of little tasks and big headaches? Preplan your day and this will help you feel good about yourself and your job!It’s 9:00 a.m., and you’re sitting at your desk staring at a long report, performance reviews, three memos to answer and a press release. It has all got to be done, but you can’t even decide where to begin. If only somebody could organize this mess. Well, somebody can – you!In fact your mistake is trying to face this first thing in the morning without a plan of action and this is enough to ruin your whole day – maybe even a week. Instead, take the last thirty minutes of each day to examine what looms ahead the next. Write down everything you want to finish.Now, divide projects into three smaller lists. You A-list items are of the highest priority. Gather phone numbers and files you need so that you won’t waste valuable time. Then draw up the less immediate B list. If talks are brief and easily done, you may get to some of these items the next day, but don’t let them draw too much attention. Everything else should be C-listed.Each list is flexible and subject to review at the end of the day, of course. Some items that were less important on Monday will move to Tuesday. Possibly, you can also slide in a less important task that’s fun to do. Either way, it’s important to begin each day with a fresh plan of attack, one that will get you past your morning panic and right down to work.1 Although you are quite busy, your boss still might give you more work. ( T )2 You should divide your projects into three smaller lists in the morning. ( F )3 Your C-list items are of least priority relatively. ( T )4 You should finish B-list items on the second day of the week. ( F)5 You should not put off any of the A-list items till the next day. ( T )Passage 3Choose the best choice according to the passage.Bill Javis took over our village news agency at a time of life when most of us only want to relax. He just thought he would like something but not too much to do, and the news agency was ready-made. The business produced little enough for him, but then Bill was a chap who only wanted the simplicity and order and regularity of the job. He had been a long-serving sailor, and all his life had done everything by the clock.Every day he opened his shop at six a.m. to catch the early trade; the papers arrived on his door-step before that. Many of Bill's customers were city workers, and the shop was convenient for the station, business was tailing off by clock, so at eleven sharp closed for lunch. It was hard luck on anybody who wanted a paper or magazine in the afternoon, for most likely Bill would down on the riverbank, fishing, and his nearest competitor was five kilometers away. Sometime in the afternoon, the evening papers landed on the doormat, and at four o'clock Bill reopened. The evening rush lasted till seven, and it was worthwhile.He lived in a flat above the shop, a/one. Except in every bad weather, yon always knew where to find him in the afternoons, as I have said. Once, on a sunny afternoon, I walked home along the river bank from a shopping trip to the village. By my watch it was three minutes past four, so I was astonished to see Bill sitting there on his little chair with a line inthe water~ He had had no luck, I could see, but he was making no effort to move.What's wrong, Bill? I called out from the path.For answer, he put a hand inside his jacket and took out a big, golden object. For a moment I had no idea what it could be and it suddenly went off with a noise like a fire engine. Stopping the bell, Bill held the thing up-and Called back, "Ten to four, you see, and this is dead right." He stood up then and began to wind in his line.I had never known .anyone carry a brass alarm clock round with him before.1. Bill Jarvis became a news agent when CA. he needed the moneyB. he decided to take things easyC. he was quite an old manD. he gave up clock-repairing2. Why did Bill open the shop so early in the day? DA. He liked to do as much as possible before he went to work.B. The shop had to be open when the morning papers came.C. Bill is never sure of the time.D. It was then that he did a lot of business.3. You might say "hard luck" to someone who BA. has just heard some very good newsB. is less fortunate than he or she ought to beC. puts great effort into whatever he or she triesD. fails through his or her own fault4. Why was the writer surprised when he saw Bill Jarvis? AA. He thought it was late for Bill to be still fishing.B. He thought Bill was ill because he was not moving at all.C. Bill had not caught anything, and that seemed strange.D. He was surprised because Bill stayed in his flat in the afternoon.5. From the information given in the passage, which do you think is wrong? CA. The bell must have gone off at the wrong time.B. Bill had dropped off to sleep.C. The writer's watch was fast.D. Bill's clock was wrong and it was very old.Passage 4Choose the best choice according to the passage.History books say American explorer Robert Peary was the first person to reach the North Pole. They say he got there, on April 6. 1909. Not everyone agrees, and a new investigation has reopened the debate.Robert Peary began his last voyage to the North Pole eighty years ago. For months he and his crew made their way slowly to the North Pole, but were they, in fact, standing at the North Pole? Peary did not really say.After Peary returned to the United States, he met with directors of the National Geographic Society. Asked British explorer Warney Herbert to head the neo-investigation. In his investigation of Peary's North Pole claim, Warney Herbert used the latest scientific information about Arctic weather conditions, currents and ice movement. He found records of distances traveled that were hard to believe. He found documents that lackedimportant information. For example, Peary's records lacked details about wind speeds, Arctic weather and ice conditions. Also Peary claimed to have traveled nine hundred and fifty kilometers across the Arctic to the North Pole in less than eight days. Mr. Herbert says no other Arctic explorer has ever claimed to make the trip in such a short time. Mr. Herbert says he was surprised by one thing Robert Peary left no written records of his activities during the thirty hours he spent in the area of the North Pole. Why? Mr. Herbert says it is very possible that Peary was no close to the North Pole after all. Because of navigational mistakes he might have missed the Pole by fifty to one hundred kilometers. If this is true, and if Peary knew it, he might have chosen not to record his activities.Warney Herbert says the lack of firm evidence makes it impossible ever to prove or disprove Robert Peary's claim of reaching the NorthPole first.1. The following statements are true EXCEPT AA. Robert Peary was the first person to arrive at the North PoleB. Robert Peary was an American explorerC. Some people believe that Peary failed to reach the North Pole because of navigational mistakesD. There has been a debate about the earliest visit to the North Pole for quite a long time2. Warney Herbert is a (n) CA. geographerB. historianC. explorerD. examiner3. Which is the best title for this passage? CA. The Debate About American History of Navigation.B. Robert Peary, the Well-known Explorer.C. Robert Peary, the First Person to Reach the North Pole?D. North Pole, A Remote Region.4. In this investigation of Peary's North Pole claim, Warney uses the following informationEXCEPT DA. Arctic weather condition, currents and ice movementB. Documents about Robert Peary's last voyage to the North PoleC. Peary's records of distance traveledD. history books5. Warney is the ______C_____of the new investigation group.A. memberB. explorerC.directorD. examinerPart Three Translation from Chinese into English (15%)1我认为你还没认识到教育的重要性。

S. government passed a law, which said that theland of the American Indians could never be takenfrom them without their.agreem en t. :O. n e hundred. years later,however, the Indians only had a very small part of the land that originally belonged to them. How did this great injustice occur?After 1812 white settlers began to move west across North America At first, the set-tlers and the Indians lived in peace. However; the number of settlers increased greatly ev- ery year. and slowly the Indians began to see the white settlers as a danger to their surmv-al. To feed themselves, the settlers killed more and more wild animals. The Indians, who depended on these animals for food, had to struggle against starvatiorx The settlers also brought with them many diseases which were common in white society, but which were new for'the Indians. Great numbers of Indians became sick and died. Between 1843 and 1854 the Indian population in one area of the country went down from 100, 000 t0 30,000.More land was needed for the increasing number of white settlers. In Washington, the old respect for the rights of the Indians disappeared. The old promises to the Indians were broken; the federal governm ent began to move groups of Indians from their original home-lands' to other poorer parts of the country. Some Indians reacted angrily and violently to this treatment. They began to attack white settlers, and the Indian Wars began. For thirty years, until the late 1880s, different groups of Indians fought against the injustices of the white man* They had a few famous successes~ but the result of the struggle was never in doubt. There were too many white soldiers, and they' were too powerful. Many Indians were killed; the survivors were moved from their homelands to different areas of the coun-try. It was a terrible chapter in the history of a country that promised freedom and equality to everyone.16. It is implied in the passage that _ DA. the Indians had many great successes in the Indian WarsB. the Indians had no doubt that they would win the WarsC. the result of the struggle was that the In'dians stayed where they were beforeD. it was quite obvious that the Indians were too weak to win the struggle17.

The government began to ignore the rights of the Indians.C. The government never had any respect for the rights of the Indians.D. The government thought the Indians were not worth respecting.18. What is the writer's opinion about the treatment that the Indians received from the U. S. government?(C)A. He believes that the government always respected the rights of the Indians.B. He believes that the government cannot be criticized for its treatment-of the In- dians.C. He believes that the government treated the Indians unjustly.D. He believes that the government's unfair treatment against the Indians was not on purpose.19. Why did American Indians begin to see the white settlers as a danger to them?(A)A. The settlers killed the animals, which the Indians needed for food.B. The settlers did not obey the laws passed by the U. S. government.C. The settlers spread some diseases on purpose, which killed many Indians.D. The settlers took much land from the Indians to build their houses.20.

They felt very angry and became sickD. They listened to the government and moved to new areas.Passage TwoScientists recently revealed an instinct in which women are not affected by the ad- vances of' technology. They made a series of experiments and observations to determine on which side women hold their babies and why.First they determined that modern mothers tend to hold their baby on the left. Of 155 right-handed mothers, 83% held the baby on the left. And out of 32 left-handed mothers, 78% held the baby on the left. As a control, women were watched emerging from super- markets carrying baby-sized packages; the bundles were held with no side preference (偏爱).A large number of mothers who brought their premature babies to a follow-up clinic were seen to hold their babies against their right side. So, 155 mothers who had been sepa- rated from their babies for 24 hours right after birth were observed for holding response. The experimenters presented the baby directly to the mid-line of the mother's body, and noted that 53% placed the baby on the left and 47% on the right. The author suggests "the time immediately after birth is a critical period when the stimulus of holding the baby releases a certain maternal response. " That is to say, she senses that the baby is better off on her left. Left-handed holding enables the baby to hear the heartbeat, a sound associated with the security of the womb. In order to discover whether hearing the heartbeat has a beneficial effect on the baby, the sound of a human heartbeat was played t0 102 babies in a nursery for 4 days. A control group of babies was not exposed to heartbeats. The babies in the experiment group gained more weight and cried far less than the babies in the control group.21. Who did not show side preference for holding babies?(B)A. The mothers who had divorced from their husbands.B. The mothers who had been separated from their babies for 24 hours after birth.C. The mothers whose babies had been placed in control groups.D. The mothers who had lived a luxurious life.22. According to the passage, the time right after birth is importantbecause_ DA. the mother can hear the baby's heartbeat in that periodB the mother is ready at all times to satisfy the baby's needsC. the baby can hear the mother's heartbeatD. the mother has an instinctive tendency to hold the baby on the left23. Why did the scientists watch women coming out of supermarkets?(A)A. To see if they carried parcels and babies differently.B. To see how they carried their babies.C. To determine what they had bought in the supermarkets.D. To determine whether they were right-handed or left-handed.24. In the experiment mentioned in the last paragraph, 102 babies were_ CA. not exposed to heartbeatsB. placed-in a control groupC. exposed to heartbeatsD. looked after by their mothers25. Who tend to hold their babies on the left according to the experiment?(C)A Left-handed women.B. Right-handed womenC. Both right-handed mothers and left-handed mothers.D. Women who hold parcels on the left.Passage ThreeSo long as teachers fail to distinguish between "teaching" and "1earningn, they will continue to undertake to do for children that which onl'y children can do for themselves. Teachingchildren to rea.d is not passing reading on to them 'It is dertairily not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that "reading cannot be taught di-rectly and schools shoulcl stop trying to do the impossible. " Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They' differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for t'eaching themselves to readl Teaching is also a public activity: it can be seen and observed.Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public scrutiny.If roles of teacher and learner are not interchangeable, what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest (探索 ) for knowledge? Smith has one princi- pal rule for all teaching instructions. "Make learning to read easy. which means making. reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children. "When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are9 and when both teachers and learners fulfill them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an envi- ronment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of learning to read by reading.26. According to the passage, learning to read will no longer be a dif'ficult taskwhen_ AA. children become highly motivatedB. roles of teacher and learner are interchangeableC. teaching helps children in the search for knowledgeD. reading enriches children's experience27. The teaching of reading will be successful if (B) .A. teachers can improve conditions at school for the studentsB. teachers can enable students to develop their own way of readingC. teachers can devise the most efficient system for readingD. teachers can make their teaching activities observable28. The word " scrutiny " ( Line 3, Paragraph 3 ) most probably means_ BA inquiry B. observation C. control D. suspicion29. The main idea of the passage is that_ CA. teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to readB. teachers should encourage students to read as widely as possible .C. reading ability is something acquired rather than taughtD. reading is more complicated than generally believed30. The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph isthat_ DA. it is one of the most difficult school coursesB. students spend endless hours in readingC. reading tasks are assigned with little guidanceD. too much time is spent in teaching about readingPassage FourPeople living on parts of the south coast of England face a serious problem. In1993,the owners of a large hotel and of several houses discovered, to their horror, that their gar- dens had disappearedovernight. The sea had eaten into the soft limestone cliffs on which they had been built. While experts were,studying the_problem, the hotel and several houses disappeared altogether, sliding down the cliff and into the sea.Erosion (侵蚀) of the white cliffs along the south coast of England has always been a problem but it has become more serious in recent years. Dozens of homes have had to be abandoned as the sea has crept farther and farther inland. Experts have studied the areas most affected and have drawn up a map for local people, forecasting the year in which their homes will be swallowed up by the hungry sea Angry owners have called on the Government to erect sea defenses to protect their ernment surveyors have pointed out that in most cases, this is impossible. New sea walls would cost hundreds of millions of pounds and would merely make the waves and currents go further along the coast, shifting the problem from one area to another. The danger is likely to continue, they say. until the waves reach an inland area of hard rock which will not be eaten as limestone is.

No one teaches them; children just “pick them up”.Before babies begin to produce words, they produce sounds. Some of these sounds will remain if they occur in the language being acquired(学到), and others will disappear. This is called the “babbling stage”.A child does not learn the language “all at once”. The child’s first utterances(言语) are one-word “sentences”. After a few months, the two-word stage arises. During this stage, the child puts two words together. These two-word sentences have definite patterns and express grammatical and meaningful relationships. Still later, in the telegraphic stage, the child will produce longer sentences. These longer sentences are mainly made up of content words. The child’s early grammar lacks many of the rules of the adult grammar, but eventually it will become mature.All normal children everywhere learn language. This ability is not dependent on race, social class, geography, or even intelligence(智力). This ability is uniquely(独特地) human.31.

They should only provide personal details onsecure websites and use strong passwords for their online accounts.

Many adults are returning to school to further their education, either through traditional college programs or through self-study. One of the most popular self-study options is the Self-Testing Examination (STE) for Higher Education, commonly known as “Self-Taught Examination.”The Self-Taught Examination is a form of self-study examination for higher education in China, which allows individuals to assess their knowledge and skills in specific subjects without attending regular classes.

One of the most significant impacts of the internet is on higher education. Online courses have become increasingly popular, allowing students to learn from the comfort of their own homes, at their own pace, and from a diverse range of instructors worldwide. This change has raised several debates in educational circles, with some arguing in favor of the benefits and others concerned about potential drawbacks.Many enthusiasts of online education point out that it offers flexibility, allowing students to juggle other commitments more easily. For instance, working professionals can now attend college-level courses while continuing their jobs. Moreover, online courses often feature interactive elements such as discussion forums and video conferencing, which can enhance the learning experience.However, critics argue that the absence of face-to-face interaction can lead to feelings of isolation and less effective learning.

How to Stay YoungIf you want to stay young,sit down and have a good think.This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors,who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise---and as a result,we are aging unnecessarily soon.Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age,and how the process of aging could be slowed down.With a team of colleagues at Tokyo National University,he set about measuring brain volumes(容量)of a thousand people of different ages and varying occupations.Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain,which relate to intellect (智能)and emotion,and determine the human character.(The rear section of the brain,which controls functions like eating and breathing,does not contract with age,and one can continue living without intellectual or emotional faculties.) Contraction of front and side parts---as cells die off---was observed in some subjects in theirthirties,but it was still not evident in some sixty and seventy-year-olds.Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple remedy to the contraction normally associated with age--using the head.The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns.Those least at risk,says Matsuzawa, are lawyers,followed by university professors and doctors.White collar workers doing routine work in government offices are,however,as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker,bus driver and shop assistant.Matsuzawas findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need.The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain," he says.Think hard and engage in conversation.Don't rely on pocket calculators.1.If you want to become young,you'd better keep sitting instead of standing.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given2.We don't use most of our brains so we are getting old very soon.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given3.The physically healthy farmers in northern Japan can't think and reason only at自学考试《英语》模考题与解析a very old age.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given4.The project starts with measuring brain volumes of a thousand people in the same area and in the same profession.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given5.Human intellect and emotion are determined by the front and side sections of the brain.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given6.If the rear section of the brain gets hurt,people can still eat,breathe and wink.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given7.Some adults aged more than thirties become slow in thinking because the front and side parts of their brains contract a little.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given8.People living in the countryside have shrinking brains faster than those living in towns.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Givenwyers,university professors and doctors are most likely to suffer from the contraction of thebrain.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given10.When you are thinking,the blood will circulate in your head to provide fresh oxygen to the brain cells.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given第二部分:阅读选择(第11~15题,每题2分,共10分)阅读下面短文,请从短文后所给各题的4个选项(A、B、C、D)中选出1个最佳选项。

job in a factory there, and the pay was far better.George lived in Wyeford, a medium.sized town.He really liked the place and didn't like the idea of moving somewhere else, but if he took the job in Birmingham, he would have to move his family there.Henry Manley was the manager of a small company manufacturing electric motors.The company was in deep trouble because, among other reasons, the Japanese were selling such things at very low prices.As a result, Manley had to cut his own prices and profits as well.Otherwise he would not get any orders at all.Even then, orders were still not coming in fast enough, so that there was no money for mises for his workers.Somehow, he had to struggle along and keep his best workers as well.He sighed.Just then the phone rang.His secretary told him that George Strong wanted to see him as soon as possible.Manley sighed again.He could guess what it was about.George Strong was a very young engineer.The company had no future unless it could attract and keep men like him.Manley rubbed his forehead;his problems seemed endless.1.Henry Manley was already deeply in debt.(A)TRUE(B)FALSE(C)Not Given2.The job that had been offered to George in

are rationed among buyers.The price system of the United States is a complex network composed of the prices of all the products bought and sold in the economy as well as those of a myriad of services, including labor, professional, transportation, and public-utility services.The interrelationships of all these prices make up the “system” of prices.Theprice of any particular product or service is linked to a broad, complicated system of prices in which everything seems to depend more or less upon everything else.If one were to ask a group of randomly selected individuals to define “price”, many would reply that price is an amount of money paid by the buyer to the seller of a product or service or, in other words, that price is the money value of a product or service as agreed upon in a market transaction.This definition is, of course, valid as far as it goes.For a complete understanding of a price in any particular transaction, much more than the amount of money involved must be known.Both the buyer and the seller should be familiar with not only the money amount, but with the amount and quality of the product or service to be exchanged, the time and place at which the exchange will take place and payment will be made, the form of money to be used, the credit terms and discounts that apply to the transaction, guarantees on the product or service, delivery.terms, return privileges, and other factors.In other words, both buyer and seller should be fully aware of all the factors that comprise the total “package” being exchanged for the asked, for amount of money in order that they may evaluate a given price.11.What is the best title for the passage?(A)The Inherent Weaknesses of the Price System.(B)The Complexities of the Price System.(C)Credit Terms in Transactions.(D)Resource Allocation and the Public Sector.12.According to the passage, the price system is related primarily to________.(A)labor and education(B)transportation and insurance(C)utilities and repairs(D)products and services13.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a factor in the complete understanding of price?(A)Instructions that come with a product.(B)The quantity of a product.(C)The quality of a product.(D)Warranties that cover a product.14.In the last sentence of the passage, “they” refers to________.(A)return privileges(B)all the factors(C)buyer and seller(D)money15.The paragraph following the passage most likely discusses________.(A)unusual ways to advertise products(B)types of payment plans for service(C)theories about how products affect different levels of society(D)how certain elements of a price “package” influence its market value三、概括段落大意和补全句子Science Fiction ①Amongst the most popular books being written today are those which are usually classified as science fiction.Hundreds of tides are published every year and are read by all kinds of people.Furthermore, some of the most successful films of recent years have been based on science fiction stories.②It is often thought that science fiction is a fairly new development in literature, but its ancestors can be found in books written hundreds of years ago.These books were often concerned with the presentation of some form of ideal society, a theme which is still often found inmodern stories.Science fiction is a genre of fiction with imaginative but more or less plausible content such as settings in the future, futuristic science and technology, space travel, parallel universes, aliens, and paranormal abilities.Exploring the consequences of scientific innovations is one purpose of science fiction, making it a “literature of ideas”.Science fiction has been used by authors as a device to discuss philosophical ideas such as identity, desire, morality and social structure.③Most of the classics of science fiction, however, have been written within the last hundred years.Books by writers such as Jules Verne and H.G.Wells, to mention just two well-known authors, have been translated into many languages.④Modem science fiction writers don't write about men from Mars or space adventure stories.They are more interested in predicting the results of technical developments on society and the human mind; or in imagining future worlds which are a reflection of the world which we live in now.Because of this their writing has obvious political undertones.Science fiction is largely based on writing rationally about alternative possible worlds or futures.It is similar to, but differs from fantasy in that, within the context of the story, its imaginary elements are largely possible within scientifically established or scientifically postulated laws of nature(though some elements in a story might still be pure imaginative speculation).The settings for science fiction are often contrary to consensus reality, but most science fiction relies on a considerable degree of suspension of disbelief, which is facilitated in the reader's mind by potential scientific explanations or solutions to various fictional elements.⑤In all age where science fact frequently overtakes science fiction, the writers may find it difficult to keep ahead of scientific advances.Those who are sufficiently clear-sighted to see the way we are going, however, may provide a valuable lesson on how to deal with the problems which society will inevitably face as it tries to master its new technology.A、Popularity of Science Fiction B、Future Development C、Classicsof Science Fiction D、Difficulty in Keeping Ahead of Scientific Advances E、Its

No one teaches them; children just “pick them up”.Before babies begin to produce words, they produce sounds. Some of these sounds will remain if they occur in the language being acquired(学到), and others will disappear. This is called the “babbling stage”.A child does not learn the language “all at once”. The child’s first utterances(言语) are one-word “sentences”. After a few months, the two-word stage arises. During this stage, the child puts two words together. These two-word sentences have definite patterns and express grammatical and meaningful relationships. Still later, in the telegraphic stage, the child will produce longer sentences. These longer sentences are mainly made up of content words. The child’s early grammar lacks many of the rules of the adult grammar, but eventually it will become mature.All normal children everywhere learn language. This ability is not dependent on race, social class, geography, or even intelligence(智力). This ability is uniquely(独特地) human.31.
