If the word researcher brings to mind someone who works in a laboratory doing experiments or reads a11 day in a librar y,then meet Dr.Sylvia Earle.Dr.Earle has carried out much of her research deep under the sea.Her outstanding work at sea ha s included leading around 70 expeditions(探索)and spending over 6,500 hours under the water. She also holds the world record for the deepest walk alone on the ocean floor at a depth of 381 metres.It’s no wonder she ha s been given the nickname“Her Deepness”.

As a child,Dr.Earle was always interested in wildlife and was never afraid to find out about nature.Her parents told her to touch animals and insects,and not to be afraid of them.When she was older,she was given the opportunity to develop this int erest thanks to scho1arships to study botany at university.She also took courses in sea diving and decided to devote herself t o marine(海洋的)biology.It was this decision and her determined character that led her to have a truly remarkable career.

After several years of diving,Dr.Earle took part in a research expedition in an underwater laboratory.The laboratory was called a Tektite Habitat and it allowed divers to remain under the water to carry out research for weeks at a time.In 1970 an all-female group went on the sixth expedition of the Tektite II scientists-in-the-water programme.Dr.Earle was asked to lead the expedition.Along with another four women-three scientists and an engineer-she stayed in the Tektite Habitat for two wee ks.

Marine life has always been at the centre of Dr.Earle’s work and she is highly respected for her authority in this field.She i s often asked to give talks by environmental groups about marine life as well as her plan to create a global network of marin e protected areas. What makes her extra special is that she doesn’t look upon her work as a job,but as her vocation(天职)in life.

B.Dr.Earle’s success is chiefly due to her family background.

A paperclip,made of steel wire bent into a looped()shape,is an instrument used to hold sheets of paper toget her.This common device is a wonder of simplicity and function.But where did this simple,cheap,and practical invention co me from?

In the late 19th century,the most common way to hold papers together was by using a pin.Although the pin was an ine xpensive tool and was easily removable,it would 1eave holes in the https://www.360docs.net/doc/ac5517370.html,ter,as steelvwire became more common,invent

ors began to notice its elastic()feature.With this feature,it could be stretched and twisted into various clip-like objects.In the years just before 1900,quite a few paperclip designs appeared.The name most frequently associated with the paperclip invention is Johan Vaaler,a Norwegian inventor.However,Vaaler’s clips were not the same as the paperclips curr ently

in use.Specifically,they did not have the inside loop we see today.The familiar looped design was invented by Gem Manuf acturing Ltd.in England.This clip is therefore sometimes known as the Gem clip.

Because of Vaaler,the paperclip played an important historical role in Norway.During World War II,Norway was occu

pied by the Nazis.Norwegians were prohibited from wearing any symbol of their national unity(),such as buttons wi th the initials of their king.Thus,in protest,they started wearing paperclips to show their unity.The reason for doing this was simple:Paperclips were a Norwegian invention whose original function was to bind together.After the war,a giant papercli p statue was put up in Oslo to honour Vaaler—even though his design was never actually produced.

25.According to the first paragraphthe paperclip is________.

A.made of paper

B.for holding clothes together

C.shaped like a pin

D.inexpensive and useful

26.One way the paperclip is better than the pin is that_________

A.it is cheaper

B.it is simpler

C.it doesn’t damage the paper

D.it can be removed more easily

27.Which of the following best shows what the Gem clip looks like?

28.The last paragraph is mainly about_________.

A.how widely used Vaaler’s clip is

B.how V aalers clip became a national symbol

C.how the Nazis ruled the Norwegian people

D.why Norwegians had the initials of their king on their buttons

C

I was born on the last day of February.I’ve always felt sorry for February,squeezed between the big months of January( named for the Roman god Janus,keeper of gateways)and March(after Mars,the god of war).

The first Roman calendar,it is said,had 10 months and no February.Beginning at the vernal equinox()with March,i t ended with December.In an agricultural society,winter was of little importance,and thus went undivided.

January and February were added about 700 B.C.by the second king of Rome,Numa Pompilius.He made all the months 29 or 31 days,but shortened February,the last month of the year,by giving it only 28.

Next,it was the church’s turn.In 1582 Pope Gregory XIII announced a new calendar in Europe.Many changes were ma de,but the Pope passed up yet another chance to give February equality with the other months.

It’s messy,even dangerous,changing how we measure time,but Pope Gregory was hardly the last one to try.The League o f Nations received over 150 new calendar designs,and the United Nations has considered more proposals since.Each propos al involves something that supposedly modernizes the calendar.

But I have a simpler proposal that won’t lead to chaos,and will correct the historical injustices against February

move the last day of January and the last day of March into February to make it a normal month with 30 days,and a respecta

ble 31 on leap years().This would not add or subtract a single day from the calendar year.It’s a great idea.And unlike J ulius and Augustus,I won’t even demand a month named in my honor.

29.The first Roman calendar had only 10 months because_________.

A.February hated to be squeezed between the big months

B.the god of war always fought with January and February

C.the Romans did not like the cold winter weather

D.it was Considered unnecessary to divide winter

30.Which of the following is closest to Numa Pompilius’calendar?

31.The writer sounds_____in the passage.

A.sad

B.humorous

C.happy

D. angry

D

One important thing during the pre-Christmas rush at our house was the arrival of my daughter’s kindergarten report car d.She got high praise for her reading,vocabulary and overall enthusiasm.On the other hand,We learnt that she has work to do on her numbers and computer skills,though the detailed handwritten report her teachers prepared is absent of any words tha

t might be interpreted as negative()in describing her efforts.A number System indicates how she’s measuring up in e ach area without any mention of passing or failing.

The debate over whether formal grades should be given to kids has long existed.At one level,the advantages and disadva ntages are obvious.A grade system provides a straightforward standard by which to measure how your child is progressing a t school--and how he or she is getting on compared to other children.But as writer Sue Ferguson notes,Grades can deceive. ()The aim should be”to measure learning,not simply what a student can remember on a test.”The two aren’t the same-and if you doubt that as an adult,ask yourself whether you could sit down without any preparation and still pass those high-s chool-level examinations.

If you’re old enough,You’ve lived through this debate before.At one time,it was considered unfair to put children in dire ct competition with one another if it could be avoided.The intention behind that may have been good,but it ignored the fact t hat competition,and the will to come out on top,are essential components of the human condition.

32.Which of the following seems to be weak on the daughter’s kindergarten report card?

A.Reading.

B.V ocabulary.

C.Enthusiasm.

D.Numbers.

33.what did the teachers try to do when preparing the report card?

A.Avoid using negative words.

B.Describe the facts as they really were.

https://www.360docs.net/doc/ac5517370.html,e numbers instead of words.

D.Avoid showing weak areas.

34.What does the writer suggest by the underlined part in Paragraph 2?

A.Most adults can pass high-school-level examinations without preparation.

B.There’s no doubt that most high-school-level examinations measure learning.

C.As an adult,you should not doubt your ability to pass high-school-level examinations.

D.It’s difficult for most adults to pass high-school-level examinations without preparation.

35.Which of the following would the writer most probably agree with?

A.Schools should not give formal grades to kids.

B.Schools should give formal grades to kids.

C.Giving formal grades to kids has no disadvantages at a11.

D.It’s unfair to put children in direct competition with one another.
