22、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。AA newspaper in Helsinki, Finland, recently published a cartoon of a baby with a mobile phone, telling his parents that his diaper（尿布）needed changing. But its hardly a joke. Helsinki is home to Nokia, the mobile-phone maker. Its one of the most “mobile” cities in the worl

23、d: About 92 percent of its households have at least one mobile phone. And the kids start young.“A relatively normal age to get a mobile phone is now 7,”says Jan Virkki, marketing manager for a mobile-phone company. Among the second graders at the Kulosaari Elementary School, the most popular object

24、of desire this year is not a Barbie or a Gameboy. It is a Nokia mobile phone with a picture of their own choice on the screen.“One of the first things we discuss when school starts is the rules for mobile phones,” says Tiia Korppi, a teacher. Among the rules: You have to put it away out of sight. Yo

25、u cannot turn it on. You cannot send text messages to your friends, or play amusing tunes（令人發(fā)笑的曲調(diào)）in class, or call your parents or call for a pizza during history.56The author uses the newspaper cartoon to show that .Ahe is good at telling jokesBhe cares much for childrenCmobile phones are toys for

27、er, a trip to a recently discovered planet would certainly warm you right up, The planet, named OCLE-TR-56b, has temperatures of more than 3,000 °F.“This is the hottest planet we know about,”says Dr. Dimitar Sasselov, a scientist who led the discovery team,“It is hot enough to have an iron fog

28、and to rain hot iron droplets（細(xì)沫）”The new planet is 30 times farther away than any planet discovered by scientists before. It is in the Milky Way（銀河）but it is not in our solar（太陽(yáng)的）system The new planet moves around a star much like our sun, however. Seientists discovered the planet by using a new pl

29、anet-searching method, called“transit technique”They were able to catch sight of the planet when it moved in front of its star, causing the stars light to dim（變暗）.Scientists compare the method to discovering the shadow of a bee flying in front of a searchlight 200 miles away.“We believe the door has

30、 heen opened wide to go and discover planets like Earth,”says Sasedlov.58We can infer from the passage that.Athere is iron on the new planetBwe could go to the new planet in winterCthe star could block our view of the new planetDscientists are studying the weather on the new planet59The “transit tec

32、ast, female（雌性的）elephants dont. Elephant families are matriarchal. And the social knowledge gained by the oldest females is the key to a family groups survival（生存）, according to a study published in April by Karen McComb, a biologist at Sussex University in England.Elephants announce their presence

33、by making a deep, long sound, a practice referred to as contact calling（聯(lián)絡(luò)呼叫）. An unfamiliar call may mean that an elephant from outside the family group is nearby. A stranger can cause trouble. Interrupting feeding or disturbing the young. So an elephant matriarch signals the family to gather aroun

34、d her; then they all lift their trunks in the air to smell the unfamiliar caller. False alarms can disturb the group and take time and energy away from feeding, so survival may depend in part on getting it right.Working with Cynthia Moss, who founded the Amboseli Elephant Research Project in Kenya 3

35、0 years ago, McComb tested the social knowledge of 21 Amboseli elephant families with matriarchs 27 to 67 years old. She played recordings of contact calls to each family and found that the oldest matriarchs were much better at picking out unfamiliar calls. In fact, a group with a matriarch in her f

36、ifties was several thousand times more likely to form into a group upon hearing an unfamiliar contact call than when hearing a familiar call. However, families with younger matriarchs were less than twice as likely to gather together upon hearing an unfamiliar contact call as compared with a familia

37、r call. And they gathered together a lot. Moreover, the social knowledge of older matriarchs translated into favourable results: Families with older matriarchs produced more baby elephants in each female-reproductive year.This finding shows how difficult it is to protect the oldest members of elepha

38、nt families. As elephants age, they continue to grow larger ,as do their much wanted tusks（象牙）. So the older-and wiser-a matriarch is, the greater the chance she will be killed. About 800,000 elephants have been killed by people in the past 20 years.61What does the underlined word “matriarch” mean?A

39、An old member of an elephant family.BA female head of an elephant familyCA wise elephant.DA large elephant.62When do elephants form into a group?AWhen they are feeding the young.BWhen they see a familiar elephant.CWhen they are giving birth to baby elephants.DWhen the leading elephant gives out a wa

40、rning.63The research with recordings of contact calls shows .Ahow fast elephants form into groupsBhow important the age of a leading elephant isChow frightened elephants are when hearing a strange callDhow frequently old elephants call other members of the family64The older a female elephant is, .At

41、he stronger she will be Bthe poorer memory she will haveCthe more useless her tusks will beDthe more likely she will be killed65We can infer from the passage that elephants may .Arun into other elephant familiesBgive wrong warnings to their mothersCrun away open hearing a strange soundDproduce more

42、babies by gathering together oftenDIf there is no difference in general intelligence（智力）between boys and girls, what can explain girls poor performance in science and mathematics?It seems to be that their treatment at school is a direct cause. Mathematics and science are seen as subjects mainly for

43、boys, and therefore, as girls become teenagers, they are less likely to take them. Interestingly, both boys and girls often regard the subjects for boys as more difficult. Yet it has been suggested that girls do not take mathematics courses, not because they are difficult, but for social reasons. Gi

44、rls do not want to be in open competition with boys because they are afraid to appear less feminine（女性的） and attractive.However, if we examine the performance of boys and girls who have taken mathematics courses, there are still more high-achieving boys than there are girls. This difference appears

45、to be world-wide. Biological explanations have been offered for this, but there are other explanations too.Perhaps the difference which comes out during the teenage years has its roots in much earlier experiences. From their first days in kindergarten, boys are enoouraged to work on their own and to

46、 complete tasks. Facts show that outstanding（杰出的）mathematicians and scientists have not had teachers who supplied answers.Besides, there can be little doubt that teachers of mathematics and science expect their boy students to do better at these subjects than their girl students. They even appear to

47、 encourage the difference between boys and girls. They spend more time with the boy students, giving them more time to answer questions and working harder to get correct answers from them. They are more likely to call on boys for answers and to allow them to take the lead in classroom discussion. Th

48、ey also praise boys more frequently. All of this seems to encourage boys to work harder in science and mathematics and to give them confidence（信心）that they are able to succeed.Such a way of teaching is not likely to encourage girls to take many mathematics and science courses, nor is it likely to su

49、pport girls who do. When it comes to these subjects it seems certain that school widens the difference between boys and girls.66Girls are likely to think that .Ascience courses are for both boys and girlsBscience courses make them more popularCscience courses make them successfulDscience courses are

50、 difficult for them67The text mainly discusses reasons for the difference between boys and girls in scientific achievements.AbiologicalBhistoricalCsocialDpersonal68What are boys usually encouraged to do at school?ATo get help with their homework.BTo play the leading role in class.CTo work with girl

51、students in class.DTo learn to take care of others.69What does the passage say about great mathematicians?ATheir teachers did not supply answers to them.BThey started learning mathematics at an earlier age.CThey showed mathematical abilities in their teenage years.DTheir success resulted from their

52、strong interest in mathematics.70The author would probably agree that .Aboys and girls learn in the same wayBboys and girls are equal in general intelligenceCgirls are more confident in themselves than beforeDgirls should take fewer science courses than boysEAt first Kate thought the Romanian girl c

53、ould not speak and understand English. Nadia would not reply to anything Kate said. Kate was in charge of showing Nadia around on her first day at Buckminster Grade School. Kate could not figure out why the school had put Nadia in a class where she could not understand what people were saying.“Why d

54、id they do this?” Kate wondered aloud. “I mean, you cant learn if you cant understand the teacher.”Nadias voice was a whisper. “I understand English. I will learn.” Nadias English was perfect.Kate was perplexed. She couldnt understand why Nadia did not like to speak. Then she realized that moring to a new country probably wasnt the easiest thing to do. There were hundreds of unfamiliar and unusual things to learn-all at the same time.“Therere a lot of new things to learn, huh?” said Kate.Nadia nodded rapidly. In a q
