becoming hotter and hotter. There"s also strong evidence that humans are contributing to the warming.
Countless recent reports have proved the same thing. For instance, a 2010 summary about the climate
science by the Royal Society noted that:"The global warming over the last half－century has been caused mainly by human activity."
You may not believe that humans could change the planet"s climate, but the basic science is well
understood. Each year, billions of tons of greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere because of
human activity. As has been known for years, these gaseshold heat that would otherwise escape to space, wrapping the planet in an invisible(看不见的) blanket.
Of course, the earth"s climate has always been changing due to "natural" factors such as volcanic
eruption (熔化) or changes in solar, or cycles concerning the Earth"s going around the sun. According to
the scientific research, however, the warming observed by now matches the pattern of warming we would expect from a build－up of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere－not the warming we would expect from
other possible causes.
Even if scientists did discover another reasonable explanation for the warming recorded so far, that
would give birth to a difficult question. As Robert Henson puts it: "If some newly discovered factor is to
blame for the climate change, then why aren"t carbon dioxide and the other greenhouse gases producing
the warming that basic physics tells us they should be?"
The only way to prove with 100% certainty that humans are responsible for global warming would be
to run an experiment with two identical Earths－one with human influence and one without. That obviously isn"t possible, and so most scientists are careful not to state human influence as an absolute certainty.

A. solar activity
B. volcanic activity
C. natural factors
D. human factors
2. The text is developed by________.
A. giving typical examples

C. analyzing a theory and arguing it
D. comparing and finding differences
3. The underline word "identical" in the last paragraph probably means________.
A. totally different
B. exactly the same
C. extremely important
D. partly independent
4. Which of the following can be the best title?

核心考点
试题【阅读理解 It"s true that quite a few most respected scientific authorities have】；主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
science can be easy；there"s no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment.You only
have to share your children"s curiosity.Firstly, listen to their questions.I once visited a classroom of s
evenyearolds to talk about science as a job.The children asked me" textbook questions" about schooling,
salary and whether I liked my job.When I finished answering,we sat facing one another in silence.Finally I
said, "Now that we"re finished with your lists, do you have questions of your own about science?"
After a long pause, a boy raised his hand, "Have you ever seen a grasshopper(蚱蜢) eat? When I try
eating leaves like that,I get a stomachache.Why?"
This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours.
Secondly, give them time to think.Studies over the past 30 years have shown that, after asking a
question, adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer,no time for a child to think.When
adults increase their " wait time" to three seconds or more, children give more logical, complete and
creative answers.
Thirdly, watch your language.Once you have a child involved in a science discussion, don"t jump in
with "That"s right" or" Very good". These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behavior.
But in talking about science, quick praise can signal that discussion is over.Instead, keep things going by
saying" That"s interesting" or" I"d never thought of it that way before", or coming up with more questions or ideas.
Never push a child to"Think",It doesn"t make sense.Children are always thinking, without your telling
them to.What"s more, this can turn a conversation into a performance.The child will try to find the answer
you want,in as few words as possible, so that he will be a smaller target for your disagreement.
Lastly, show; don"t tell.Reallife impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson children
can learn from a book or a television program.Let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying
glass (放大镜), and they"ll understand why you want them to wash before dinner.Rather than saying that
water evaporates (蒸发), set a pot of water to boil and let them watch the water level drop.
1. According to the passage, children are natural scientists, and to raise their interests,the most important
thing for adults to do is________.
A. to let them see the world around
B. to share the children"s curiosity
C. to explain difficult phrases about science
D. to supply the children with lab equipment
2. In the last sentence of the first paragraph, the word" lists" could best be replaced by ________.
A. any questions
B. any problems
C. questions from textbooks
D. any number of questions
3. According to the passage, children
can answer questions in a more logical, complete and creative way if adults________.A. ask them to answer quickly
B. wait for one or two seconds after a question
C. tell them to answer the next day
D. wait at least for three seconds after a question
4. In which of the following paragraph(s) does the author tell us what to say to encourage children in a science discussion?
A. The second and third.
B. The fourth and fifth.
C. The fifth and sixth.
D. The seventh.
of the major qualities that make up emotional intelligence, and how they can be developed.
1.Self-awareness. The ability to recognize a feeling as it happens is the keystone of emotional
intelligence. People with greater certainty about their emotions are better pilots of their lives.
Developing self-awareness requires tuning in to what neurologist Antonio Damasio calls "gut feelings". Gut
feelings can occur without a person being consciously aware of them. For example, when people who fear snakes are shown a picture of a snake, sensors on their skin will detect sweat, a sign of anxiety, even
though the people say they do not feel fear. The sweat shows up even when a picture is presented so
rapidly that the subject has no conscious awareness of seeing it.
Through deliberate effort we can become more aware of our gut feelings. Take someone who is
annoyed by a rude encounter for hours after it occurred. He may be unaware of his irritability(易怒)and
surprised when someone calls attention to it. But if he evaluates his feelings, he can change them. Emotional self-awareness is the building block of the next fundamental of emotional intelligence: being able to shake
off a bad mood.
2.Mood Management. Bad as well as good moods spice life and build character. The key is
balance.
We often have little control over when we are swept by emotion. But we can have some say in how
long that emotion will last. Psychologist Dianne Tice asked more than 400 men and women about their
strategies for escaping foul moods. Her research, along with that of other psychologists, provides valuable
information on how to change a bad mood.
Of all the moods that people want to escape, rage seems to be the hardest to deal with. When
someone in another car cuts you off on a highway, your instant response may be, That jerk! He could
have hit me! I can let him get away with that! The more you stew, the angrier you get. Such is the
stuff of hypertension and reckless driving.
What should you do to relieve rage? One myth is that ventilating will make you feel better. In fact,
researchers have found that"s one of the worst strategies. A more effective technique is "reframing", which means consciously seeing a situation in a more positive light. In the case of the driver who cuts you off, you might tell yourself: Maybe he had some emergency. This is one of the most potent ways, Tice found, to put anger to rest.
Going off alone to cool down is also an effective way to refuse anger, especially if you can"t think
clearly. Tice found that a large proportion of men cool down by going for a drive----- a finding that
inspired her to drive more defensively. A safer alternative is exercise, such as taking a long walk. Whatever you do, don"t waste the time pursuing your train of angry thoughts. You aim should be to distract yourself.
The techniques of reframing and distraction can alleviate depression and anxiety as well as anger. Add to
them such relaxation techniques as deep breathing and meditation(冥想) and you have powerful weapons against bad moods.

enabling them to explore the outside universe and conduct many experiments. However, nothing like that
exists for our oceans, and thanks to the high water pressure, ocean researchers are able to explore what
lies undersea for very short periods of time.
They are therefore never able to fully explore the deep inside areas of our oceans. However, if French architect Jacques Rougerie has his way, that will change soon.
Jacqucs has designed a ship that will allow researchers to spend a long period of time observing the sea life and conducting experiments. The huge 167ft ship, named "Sea Orbiter", consists of two areas-one
above the water where the scientists and crew will live, and a lower pressurized deck (甲板), where
scientists will be able to spend as much time as they wish. Since it is powered by sea currents and wind, he expects it to drift (漂流) along the oceans slowly, taking about two years to circumvent the globe.
Jacques will make their life as comfortable as possible in the ship. Besides being equipped with the
latest sailing tools and communication equipment, the ship will also have a gym, a television and a DVD
player. And these guys will not be eating freeze-dried food like astronauts. Instead, Jacques, an
accomplished chef, plans on cooking them delicious meals every day.
The biggest problem to this giant ship is the cost, which is expected to be over $500 million-per ship!
However, Jacques, who strongly believes that the secrets of our oceans may be the key to solving global
warming and a vital supply for food and medicine in the future, is confident he will be able to convince
governments all over the world to help out, and expects to start construction on not one, but four or five of these amazing ships soon!
A. Because they can"t stand the high water pressure.
B. Because it"s too cold in deep ocean.
C. Because time for experiments is too limited.
D. Because it"s dangerous to observe the sea life.
2. The underlined word "circumvent" probably means_____.
A. fly away
B. get around
C. travel through
D. move into
3. From the fourth paragraph we can learn that_____.
A. Jacques intends to design the ship mainly for sightseeing and traveling
B. living a comfortable life helps to do the ocean research quickly
C. it"s much more expensive to eat freeze-dried food
D. researchers on Jacque"s ship will live more comfortably than astronauts
4. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. Sea Orbiterthe ship of the future
B. A new way to explore the deep oceans
C. A great architectJacques Rougerie
D. Travel around the globe in Sea Orbiter
white-collar workers are more likely to suffer depression. A national survey of more than 7500

The survey __5__ (conduct) by Beyondblue, an organization devoted to fighting depression,
also showed that __6__ under 30 who had the __7__ (high) rates of depression were the most
likely to "self-medicate" with drugs and alcohol. Beyondblue deputy chief executive and _ 8__
(psychology), Dr. Nicole Highet, said the survey was first to reveal the extent of the problem. "We
often associate depression with the most socially disadvantaged and people under financial pressure,
__9_ here"s a whole different group." Dr. Highet said, She said while it was difficult to know exactly
__10_ made some groups more prone to depression, it was likely to be driven by work pressures.
all of them are destructive. The intensity (强度) of an earthquake is measured on the Richter Scale, which goes from zero upward. The highest magnitude recorded to date is 8.9Major damage generally occurs
from quakes ranging upwards from 6.0.
The actual cause of earthquake itself is the breaking of rocks at or below the breaking of rocks or
below the earth"s surface. This is produced by pressure which scientists believe may be due to a number
of reasons, two of which are the changed of the earth"s crust (外壳) and continental drift(漂流).
In order to minimize the damage and to decrease some of the pain resulting from earthquakes,
scientists are working on ways to improve accurate prediction. Two kinds of the instruments now in use
to achieve this goal are seismograph(地震仪) and tilt (倾斜) meter. The former records any shaking of
the earth. Seismologists ca accurately record the exact time, location and size of an earthquake. The latter, as the name suggests, is used to record any changes in the tilt of the land.
B. Major damage usually happens when the intensity of an earthquake is below 6.0
C. Scientists usually use seismographs and tilt meters to predict earthquakes now.
D. Continental drift may cause an earthquake.
A.Scientists are working hard to predict the earthquakes.
B.The reason why earthquakes happen.
C.Introduce the earthquake and its prediction.
B. A report
C. A science magazine.
D. A history book.
