have abilities(能力) including communication and different kinds of memory. In some unusual cases, their
abilities seem better than those of humans.
Irene Pepperberg, a birds expert, did research about a grey parrot named. Griffin. Ms. Pepperberg says
Griffin can arrange objects in order of size. She says the talking bird also can combine words in the right
order. For example, he will combine words when asking for a piece of food. The researcher says experts
had thought that only humans and other mammals with large brains have the ability to combine objects and
words. She believes that bird brains have the ability to understand that complex(复杂的) tasks must be done
in the correct order.
Some birds have other memory skills. For example, they collect and store thousands of seeds in autumn,
and find them later in winter. Alan Kamil and Alan Bond of the University of Nebraska are studying the
memories of birds called jays and nutcrackers. Their experiments show that these birds use natural objects to
find the seeds they have stored.
It"s said some birds can learn as many as 2,000 different songs. Songs may have developed as a way for
birds to communicate with other birds.
According to Verner Bingman of Bowling Green State University in Ohio, birds must have a special
guidance system in their brain. He says that understanding how a bird"s brain operates may help us better
understand how a human brain processes information.
However, some scientists do still believe birds do many things that appear to be acts of thoughtful
intelligence. In most cases, they say, their behavior is simply instinctive (本能的), no reasoning power
directing it.
B. Irene Pepperberg"s study on birds.
C. The difference between humans and birds.
D. Ways for experts to train birds.
B. Objects help birds remember things.
C. Birds are as intelligent as humans.
D. Birds have certain memory skills.
B. mammals understand the relationship between objects and words
C. maybe trees help jays to find the seeds they have stored
D. birds always communicate with one anther by singing

uncomfortable. This is called the force of habits, and the force of habits should be fought against.
Habits, whether good or bad, are gradually formed. When a person does a certain thing, he is driven
by some unseen force to do the same thing repeatedly, then a habit is formed. Once a habit is formed, it
is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to get rid of. It is therefore very important that we should pay great
attention to the formation of habits. Children often form bad habits, some of which remain with them as
long as they live. Older persons also form bad habits as long as they live, and sometimes become ruined
by them.
There are other habits which, when formed in early life, are of great help. Many successful men say
that much of their success has something to do with certain habits in early life, such as early rising, honesty
and so on.
Among the habits which children should not form are laziness, lying, stealing and so on. They are all
easily formed habits. Unfortunately, older persons often form bad habits, which should have been avoided.
We should keep from all these bad habits, and try to form such habits as will be good for others and
ourselves. Remember: Habits cure habits.
B. Bad habits
C. Both good habits and bad habits
D. Neither good habits nor bad habits
B. good habits
C. children
D. other persons.
B. Because a man can never get rid of a habit.
C. Because it"s hard and sometimes even impossible to throw away bad habits.
D. Because we are forced to do them again and again.
B. is an easily formed habit
C. is such a habit as should have been avoided
D. is such a habit as will be kept
回答问题， 阅读下面短文，根据第1-3小题的具体要求，简要回答问题。
parents, your genes provide you a height that usually lands somewhere between the height of each parent. If
both your parents are tall, then most probably you will be tall, too, but if you have questions about how tall
you"re going to be, ask your doctor if he or she can help you find it out.
But genes don"t decide everything. For example, eating an unhealthy diet can keep you from growing to
your full potential (潜力). Getting plenty of sleep and enough exercise will help you grow to the expected
height.
No doubt (怀疑) you"re wondering how fast you should grow. It depends. There"s no perfect or right
answer. In general, kids grow about 2 inches (6 centimeters) a year between age 3 and the time when they
start puberty (when your body starts changing and becoming more grown up).
Your doctor will know how your growth has been going over the years. Two centimeters here and 2
inches there are not nearly as important as the height you"re at now, how you"ve been growing up to this point,
and what other changes your body may be going through.
Don"t be scared if you seem to have grown a lot in a very short time. Everyone has a growth spurt (高峰)
during puberty. The age for starting puberty is about 10 for girls and about 11 for boys. But it can be earlier
or later -between 7 and 13 for girls and 9 and 15 for boys.
You"ll usually begin to notice that you"re growing faster about a year or so after your body starts to show
the first changes of puberty.

at home than in the classroom. Therefore, the teacher should realize that parents have a great influence on their
children. Parents can become strong allies (助手) of the school or they can get in the way of the school
education.
Experts have realized the need to keep parents informed of the newer methods used in schools. Many
headmasters have conducted workshops explaining such matters as the reading readiness, program writing
and mathematics to parents.
Moreover, the classroom teacher, with the permission of the supervisors(管理者), can also play an
important part in giving more knowledge to reporting pupils progress, teachers can help parents a lot in
educating their children and parents can give much help to teachers.
Suppose that a father has been drilling Junior arithmetic lessons night after night. In a friendly talk between
the teacher and the father, the teacher can help the parent to make Junior interested in it. He might be persuaded
to let Junior join in discussing the family budget, buying the food, using a ruler or measuring cup at home,
setting the clock, calculating the distance of a trip and engaging in scores of other activities that have a
mathematical basis.
If the father follows the advice, it is reasonable to say that he will soon realize that his son is making
satisfactory progress in mathematics, and at the same time, enjoying the work.
Too often, however, teachers" talks with parents are devoted to small accounts of children"s misdemeanors(不良行为). They talk about the laziness and poor work habits of the children.
What is needed is a more creative way in which the teacher, as an adviser, plants ideas in parents" minds to
make sure that the child spends the many hours out of the classroom learning something useful.
In this way the school and the home join forces in educating children.
B. parents should help their children to do their homework
C. there"re many ways in which the mathematics program can be carried out at home
D. teachers can and should help parents to use better ways to teach their children
B. feels that parent-teacher talks can be made much more constructive
C. believes that schools can"t teach pupils well
D. calls on parents to teach their children mathematics at home
B. New type of report card.
C. Parent-teacher talk.
D. Dinner or party.
B. too many children are lazy and have poor work habits
C. teachers should often make home visits to parents
D. headmasters do more than teachers in this area
B. written reports to the parents from the teachers
C. talking about children"s shortcomings
D. having the parents help their children with their lessons
that is aimed at them. The new site is called Admongo. It claims to provide visitors with an "aducation"
through games and other entertainment.
A cartoon man dressed in old time pilot clothing greets visitors to Admongo. "Call me Haiz" he says upon
arrival in a rocket ship that opens up with a crazy world inside it. Dabce plays in the background as Haiz tells
visitors that they need to learn about advertising.
The Admongo website is aimed at children eight to twelve years old. Its inventors say that is the age kids
develop their critical thinking abilities. Kids that age are also a big market for advertisers.
The idea behind Admongo is to teach children three things: to identify the advertiser, to know what the
advertiser is really saying, and to know what the advertisement is trying to get the child to do.
Children learn these things through a video game. They create their own game character. They can choose
different skin colors, hairstyles, eye and mouth shapes. Then they begin a trip through ad- land. They take a
walk through the neighborhood. They seek out the advertising and capture treasures. There are ads on buses
and billboards. The players have to find all the marketing in the neighborhood before they can move on to the
next level.
The Admongo game takes players inside a home, to the advertising studio and everywhere else ads can be
found. It is a complete exploration of the world of marketing.
One such area is food marketing. The Federal Trade Commission says it is an especially big business. The
F. T. C. estimates that food, drink and fast-food restaurants spent more that one and a half billion dollars on
advertising to young people in 2009.
The F. T. C. says children are important for three reasons. They buy products. They influence parents and
caregivers to buy. And they are the future adult buyers of the products.
A recent study says most advertising aimed at children is for foods of the lowest nutritional value. First
Lady Michelle Obama has said she would like to see advertisers marketing healthy foods for children.
B. The cartoon guide named "Haiz"
C. An"aducation" website for children
D. A popular online video game
B. To help children know about advertising.
C. To attract the biggest market of buyers.
D. To sell the products of its company.
B. They can travel to a supermarket.
C. They can choose hairstyles for their own character.
D. They can eat in a fast-food restaurant.
B. are the most potential buyers
C. are easily influenced by ads
D. are easily affected by low-quality products
B. yummy
C. of high nutrition
D. healthy

Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information for the
passage. Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer.
(GHG), namely, carbon dioxide into the biosphere (生物圈). Recently, most of the scienti sts and the public
hold the opinion that the climate is changing because there is such an accumulation of CO2 in the atmosphere
due to human activities. The over-concentration of these gases is producing global warming that affects
long-term climate, with negative impacts on humanity in the foreseeable future. LCE, therefore, is proposed
as a means to avoid catastrophic climate change.
All nations which are considered carbon intensive societies and societies which are heavily populated
should become zero-carbon societies and economies. Several of these countries have promised to become
"low carbon" but not entirely zero carbon, and claim that emissions will be cut by 100% by balancing emissions
rather than ceasing all emissions.
Nuclear power and the strategies of carbon capture and storage (CCS) have been proposed as the primary
means to achieve a LCE while continuing to exploit non-renewable resources. Scientists are afraid, however,
whether the spent-nuclear-fuel can be stored, and whether it is secure. Also they are not certain about the
costs and time needed to successfully implement CCS worldwide and whether the stored emissions will leak
into the biosphere or not. Alternatively, many have proposed renewable energy should be the main basis of a
LCE, but, they have their associated problems of high-cost and inefficiency; this is changing, however, since
investment and production have been growing significantly in recent times. Furthermore, it has been proposed
that to make the transition to an LCE economically attractive we would have to attach a cost (per unit output)
to GHGs through means such as emissions trading and/or a carbon tax .
A LCE is aimed to integrate all aspects of itself from its manufacturing, agriculture, transportation to
power-generation around technologies that produce energy and materials with little GHG emission and thus
around populations, buildings, machines and devices which use those energies and materials efficiently and
dispose of or recycle its wastes so as to have a minimal output of GHGs.
I. 2 : an economy with a minimal output of GHG
II. 3 of the present economy:
● global warming
● long-term climate change
● 4 on humanity
III. 5 :
● to produce energy and materials with little GHG emission
● to use those energies and materials efficiently
● to have 6 of GHGs
IV. 7 to achieve a LCE:
● nuclear power
● the strategies of carbon capture and storage
● renewable energy
● 8
● a carbon tax
V. 9 :
● spent-nuclear-fuel storage / storage of spent-nuclear-fuel
● 10
● uncertainty about the costs and time needed
