Childish V oice

When I was a young child, my parents often told me that it was time to teach a man everything. I didn’t understand and wondered why 21 had such a big influence 22 a person. I thought I could grow up quickly to find it out as an adult．But now, 23 I come to knock at the door of adulthood, I feel 24 to express my own 25 on this saying. I know that I’m ju st a high school student with very 26 experiences. There are still many things 27 me in the future, yet I would like to express myself in a childish voice.

I once read this sentence: “To make this world a happy place to live, you’d better28 you reself and your heart , instead of the whole world.” I was shocked. It made me think about life 29 . There are so many things around us that 30 our will. We can’t force life31 our wishes.The earth won’t stop turning no matter whether we32 it or not. What we can do is just to make ourselves 33 the world. I think we should learn to accept 34 life gives us, no matter whether it’s the spring sunlight or the winter snowfall, and try to be happy.

Deeply moved by the pop song Grandmother (by Jay Chou), I always try to 35 every pleasant thing in my life, but now I see I don’t catch most of the pleasant moments. It is more36 that they slip by and leave you feeling 37 . I realize that I’m not just living 38 myself and that there are the others around me I should think of .They all pay attention to my growing up, even if it’s just a little progress.

Everyone has his or her own attitude towards life, be it positive or 39 . It doesn’t matter, I think. There is one 40 that should be obeyed—and that’s to make this world better. 21．A．man B．time C．thing D．parent 22．A．about B．with C．on D．in 23．A．before B．after C．as D．when 24．A．anxious B．worried C．tired D．glad 25．A．beliefs B．opinions C．confidences D．expressions 26．A．a few B．little C．few D．a little 27．A．waiting for B．sticking with C．dealing with D．doing with 28．A．ask B．change C．exchange D．force 29．A．myself B．itself C．oneself D．themselves 30．A．go with B．go along C．go ahead D．go against 31．A．being followed B．to be followed C．to be following D．to follow 32．A．receive B．accept C．refuse D．approve 33．A．fit B．suit C．beat D．match 34．A．what B．whatever C．which D．why 35．A．miss B．catch C．escape D．lose 36．A．probably B．likely C．possibly D．unlikely 37．A．regretful B．awful C．seccessful D．terrible 38．A．for B．by C．on D．with 39．A．wrong B．false C．negative D．true 40．A．point B．rule C．thing D．word

Passage one

The elephant is the biggest four-legged animal in the world. It is also, perhaps, the gentlest; but not always!

Elephants are like us in some ways. They live for a long time—fifty or sixty years. They can remember things very well. They never forget great sadness or great happiness. A female elephant dies, her daughters and her grand-daughters are sad for many months, they stay with the dead body. Then they carry a bit of it away with them. They never forget a dear friend.

Elephants are like us, but they are also different. They live in families, families of females. There will be a few young males—a few “baby boys”. But the females will soon send them away. An elephant family keeps only its daughters, mothers and grandmothers. And its great-grandmothers.

The females stay together for fifty, sixty…a hundred years. The older animals look after the young ones. The mothers teach their daughters and set a good example.

And what happens to male elephants? Well, the young males stay with their mothers for a time. Then they must leave the family. The females just send them away. A bull elephant does not often have a friend. He lives apart, away from the family, and often away from other bulls.

Sometimes the females call a bull. He can visit them then, and stay for a time. But soon his “wives” and sisters send him away again. The females have a very happy family life. What do the bulls think about it? We don’t know.

41. Elephants are different from mankind in that ______.

A. they live in families of females.

B. males and females live in different families.

D. living alone

44. Which of the following is not true? When a female elephant dies, her daughter and grand-daughters ______.

A. are sad for many months

B. stay with the dead body

C. carry a bit of the dead body away with them

45. Female elephants learn from ______.

Passage 2

Ask three people to look out the same window at a busy street corner and tell you what they see. Chances are you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene, but each perceives (感知) something differently about it.

Perceiving goes on in our minds. Of the three people who look out the window, one may say that he sees a policeman giving a motorist a ticket. Another may say that he sees a rush hour traffic

jam at the intersection. The third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children in tow. For perception is the mind’s interpretation of what the senses—in this case our eyes—tell us.

Many psychologists are working to try to determine just how a person experiences or perceives the world around him. Using a scientific approach, these psychologists set up experiments in which they can control all of the factors. By measuring and charting the results of many experiments, they are trying to find out what makes different people perceive totally different things about the same scene.

46.Seeing and perceiving are _______.

A. the same action

B. two separate actions

C. two actions carried on entirely by the eyes

D. several actions that take place at different times

47. Perceiving is an action that takes place ______.

A. in our eyes

B. only when we think very hard about something

C. only under the direction of a psychologist

D. in every person’s mind

48. Perception involves that _______.

A. our senses tell us

B. our minds interpret

C. we see with our eyes only

D. both A and B

49. People perceive different things about the same scene because ______.

A. they see different things

B. they cannot agree about things

C. some have better eyesight

D. none of the above

50. Psychologists study perception by _______.

A. setting up many experiments

B. asking each other what they see

C. studying people’s eyes

D. looking out of windows

people exactly how powerful it was, for at that time there were no units for measuring power.

Watt decided to find out how much work one strong horse could do in one minute

He called that unit one horsepower. With this unit he could measure the work his

steam engine could do.

He discovered that a horse could lift a 3300-pound weight 10 feet into the air in
