With a gradual 38 to twelve to fourteen hours for toddlers(初学走路的孩子) one to three; eleven to thirteen hours for 39 three to five; and ten to eleven hours for schoolchildren 40 five to ten.But things get really 41 at adolescence(青春期). Not only do teenagers need more sleep than 42 －eight and a half to nine and a quarter hours a night, according to the sleep foundation－but the times 43 which they get sleepy and are able to awaken 44 and feel rested shift in a 45 that does not match to the 46 timesat most schools.Sleep studies have shown that the typical teenager does not fall asleep readily before 11 p.m. or later. 47 . many have to get up by 6 a.m. or 48 to get to school for a class 49 starts at 7:30 or 8 a.m. More than a few 50 off during that class, and often the 51 one as well. Even if awake, they’re in no condition to learn much of anything.In one study, more than 90 percent of teenagers 52 they slept less than the 53 nine hours a night, and 10 percent said they slept less than six hours. 54 James B. Maas, a Cornell University psychologist and leading sleep researcher, has observed, most teenagers are“walking zombies(僵尸)”55 they get far too little sleep.36、A.childrenB.newborns C. eldersD.youngsters37、A.fromB.with C. outD.up38、A.reductionB.increase C. growthD.improvement39、A.teenagersB.students C. babiesD.preschoolers40、A.relatedB.separated C. agedD.varied41、A.demandingB.challenging C. satisfyingD.encouraging42、A.adultsB.toddlers C. babiesD.schoolchildren43、A.inB.on C. atD.for44、A.excitedlyB.early C. casuallyD.naturally45、A.formB.means C. methodD.way46、A.endB.start C. holidayD.examination47、A.SinceB.For C.

Maybe it’s time to rediscover the comfort of train travel.Anyone who’s backpacked with a Eurail pass(欧洲火车通票)in the latter half of the 20th century will remember the long queues for tickets, unreliable timetables and slow cross-country trains. How things have changed. Now, you can book tickets online—Google “Rail Europe”and find the best site for your area—and pay in your local currency.And that’s merely the beginning of the new conveniences. The Eurostar (the railway service between London and France or Belgium, using the tunnel under the English Channel)is popular with V ogue editor Anna Wintour, who no doubt enjoys the convenience of landing dead in the centre of each capital—removing travel time to and from airports, as well as very long check-ins. With Eurostar, just arrive 15 minutes before your train leaves and all will be well.There are a growing number of new-generation Euro trains that cross some of the prettiest countryside on the planet—a fact that won’t be lost even while you’re moving along at 300km/h.The other brilliant aspect of Euro train travel is that there are no baggage restrictions(限制). Sure, there are cheap air tickets available, but if you want to carry more than 20 kg, watch the price increase with the extra baggage charges.Sitting back and watching the beautiful views roll by is holiday-making in itself, which opposed to speeding down the motorway in Italy, being beeped(按汽车喇叭)at by angry Italians for paying attention to the speed limit.And for the environmentally minded, consider this: the carbon footprint(the total amount of greenhouse gases produced to directly and indirectly support human activities)of train travel is tiny compared to air. You can walk around lightly.56、V ogue editor Anna Wintour chooses the Eurostar because .A．it saves her a lot of moneyB．it carries her exactly to the city centreC．it greatly reduces her carbon footprintD．she can carry more than 20 kg of baggage57、The author thinks that booking tickets online is .A．impractical B．cheap C．convenient D．unsafe 58、The purpose of the passage is to .A．promote Euro train travelB．criticize airport’s poor serviceC．introduce beautiful views in EuropeD．describe the great changes in Europe59、What’s the author’s attitude towards traveling on motorways?A．It’s pleasant B．It’s tiringC．It’s often upsetting D．it’s environmentally friendlyBWhen you are little, the whole world feels like a big playground. I was living in Conyers, Georgia the summer it all happened. I was a second grader, but my best friend Stephanie was only in the first grade. Both of our parents were at work and most of the time they let us go our own way.It was a hot afternoon and we decided to have an adventure in Stephanie’s basement. As I opened the basement door, before us lay the biggest room, full of amazing things like guns, dolls, and old clothes. I ran downstairs, and spotted a red steel can. It was paint. I looked beyond it and there lay even more paint in bright colors like purple, orange, blue and green.“Stephanie, I just found us a project for the day. Get some paintbrushes. We are fixing to paint.” She screamed with excitement as I told her of my secret plans and immediately we got to work. We gathered all the brushes we could find and moved all of our materials to my yard. There on the road in front of my house, we painted big stripes (条纹) of colors across the pavement (人行道). Stripe by stripe, our colors turned into a beautiful rainbow. It was fantastic!The sun was starting to sink. I saw a car in the distance and jumped up as I recognize the car. It was my mother. I couldn’t wait to show her my masterpiece. The car pulled slowly into the driveway and from the look on my mother’s face, I could tell that I was in deep trouble.My mother shut the car door and walked towards me. Her eyes glaring, she shouted, “What in the world were you thinking? I understood when you made castles out of leaves, and climbed the neighbors’ trees, but this! Come inside right now!” I stood there glaring back at her for a minute, angry because she had insulted (侮辱) my art.“Now go clean it up!” Mother and I began cleaning the road. Tears ran down my cheeks as I saw my beautiful rainbow turn into black cement.Though years have now passed, I still wonder where my rainbow has gone. I wonder if, maybe when I get older, I can find my rainbow and never have to brush it away. I guess we all need some sort of rainbow to brighten our lives from time to time and to keep our hopes and dreams colorful.60、What did the writer want to do when his mother came home?A．To prevent her from seeing his painting.B．To introduce Stephanie to her.C．To show his artwork to her.D．To put the materials back in the yard.61、In his mother’s eyes, the writer .A．always caused trouble. B．was a born artist.C．worked very hard D．was a problem solver.62、The underlined word “rainbow” in the last paragraph refer to .A．the stripes on the pavement.B．the rainbow in the sky .C．important lessons learned in childhood.D．something imaginative and fun.63、It can be learned from the passage that parents should .A．value friendship among children.B．encourage children to paint.C．protect rather than destroy children’s dreams.D．discover the hidden talent in children.CSummer Holiday fun 2010!The summer holidays are upon us again．Here is our guide to summer holiday fun in Peterborough!Peterborough Museum“The Age of the Dinosaurs”is the museum’s main attraction this summer．Get up close to prehistoric creatures via some great hands-on exhibits!

While Japan is seen as a getting-to-know-you stop, when Obama heads to the Singapore for the APEC meeting, he will likely face pressure on trade. “Many Asians are concerned about what US trade policy will be, and they’ve been somewhat alarmed by the fact that the president really hasn’t set out very much revision for what US trade policy is in his administration.”But the critical leg of the trip will come in China, his third stop where Obama will have to navigate the complex relationship with the country that is the largest holder of US debt. “As you say,you know, if you owe the bank one dollar, it’s your problem, if you owe the bank, you know, 3 million dollars, it’s the bank’s problem, so it’s similar with China. I mean they have no interest in trying to use the influence with us, because eventually, th ey’re the one that they own all those dollars.”Also on the table will be North Korea and Iran’s nuclear ambitions as well as cooperation on Afghanistan.With Obama enjoying sky high popularity level in the countries he is visiting, detailed results may be beside the point, given that Obama is still in his first year in office, analysts say this trip is mostly about laying the ground work for the future. 68、From the second paragraph, we can infer that .A．Japan has not been the closest friend of AmericaB．Japan and Singapore will give America some pressure on tradeC．Japan is concerned about what US trade policy will beD．Japan decides not to rely on America too much69、The word“leg”in the third paragraph probably means .A．one of the parts of a football match that is played in two halvesB．the two long parts of your body that your feet are joined toC．one of the upright parts that supports a piece of furnitureD．a part of a long journey or process that is done one part at a time70、What can you infer about China’s relation with America in the third paragraph?A．China will sell all its shares in US national debt.B．It will hurt China if the value of the dollar falls.C．China will not be the largest debt holder of US.D．China is US’ s overseas bank where US can borrow money.71、The author develops the passage mainly .A．by examples B．by cause and effectC．by comparison D．by order in timeELet’s face it. No one drinks diet soda for the taste. People drink diet soda in the hope that it will help them lose weight or at least keep them from gaining it. Yet it seems to have exactly the opposite effect, according to a new study.Researchers from the University of Texas said those who drank two or more diet sodas a day had waist size increases that were six times greater than those of people who didn’t drink diet soda. “What we saw was that the more diet sodas a person drinks, the more weight they were likely to gain,” said Sharon Fowler.The study was based on data from 474 participants in a larger, ongoing research project, where the participants were followed for nearly 10 years.While the findings were surprising, they also offer some explanations.Nutrition expert, Melanie Rogers, who works with overweight patients in New York, has found that when patients are switched from regular to diet soda, they don’t lose weight at all. “We weren’t seeing weight loss necessarily, and that was confusing to us,” said Rogers.So why would diet soda cause weight gain? No one knows for sure yet, but it could be that people think they can eat more if they drink diet soda, and so over-compensate for the missing calories.A related study found some sweeteners（甜味剂）raised blood sugar levels in some mice. “Data from this and other potential studies suggest that the promotion of diet sodas and artificial sweeteners may be risky,” said study researcher Helen P.Hazuda, professor at the University of Texas’s school of medicine. “They” ma y be free of calories, but not of consequences.”72、People drink diet soda to ________.A．stay in fashion B．enjoy its tasteC．gain more energy D．achieve weight loss73、The new study suggests that drinking diet soda ________.A．helps people to be healthier B．cause people to become heavier C．offers people more calories D．makes people much thinner 74、We can learn from the passage that ________.A．diet soda drinkers tend to eat more foodB．regular soda makes people lose more weightC．most blood diseases come from diet sodaD．diet soda does help reduce calories75、The underlined word “They” in the last paragraph probably refers to ________.A．diet sodas and artificial sweeteners B．sweetenersC．diet soda drinkers and sweetener takers D．sodas第II卷（非选择题共35分）第四部分写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节：任务型读写（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。

I happen to be one of the few girls who would answer: surfing（冲浪运动）. But isn’ t that a boy thing? Some people 36 . Most certainly not.I started surfing about five years ago and fell in love with the sport on the very first day. Riding that first 37 was the best feeling I had ever experienced.When I try to 38 surfing with other things, I find it very difficult because, inmy life ,there’ s nothing like it. It involves （牵涉到）body, mind and soul. There’ s sand between my toes and cool, salt water all 39 us. The feeling I get when I’ m surfing across that 40 , becoming one with the 41 , is like I’ m weightles s.The one thing I can 42 from surfing and not any other sport is endless challenge（挑战）. Y ou can never be the “best surfer” because the ocean offers an uncountable variety of waves that nobody can ever master. The variations of surfing styles are wonderful. Some surfers are free and flowing; others are very aggressive （活跃有力的）and 43 . All of these things attract me to surfing and make it 44 from any other sport.I’ ve tried to tell every girl I know to do something that people don’ t think girls can do. It’ s part of being human to advance to new levels, so shouldn’ t it be expected that girls should step up and start 45 the limits of things boys and men used to dominate （主宰）?There’ re women 46 side by side with the President of our country, so why not side by side with the boys on the football team or out in the water surfing?

But 48 _ a matter of fact, he is kind-hearted as well as honest. The reason 49 he was put into prison was not that he himself broke the law, 50 that his six-year-old son blew up（使…爆炸）the bridge near his home, imitating what he had seen on TV. 51 this little boy did break the law, he was too young to be put in prison. According ____52___ the local law, the boy’s parent s had to be punished. As a result, Mr. Smith received the punishment. He was arrested and taken to the police station finally.

Sure we all know that we’re the apple of our parents’ eyes,and that our Grandmas think we’re great talents and our Uncle Roberts think that we will go to the Olympics, but sometimes it’s a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time you build a positive self-image and learn to love yourself.Self-image is your own mind’s picture of yourself.This image includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about us. Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be. Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world.The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. That is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. Don’t allow doubts to occur in it.It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you can’t move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task. If you think you’re silly because you aren’t good at math,find a tutor. If you think you’re weak because yo u can’t run a mile,get to the track and practice. If you think you’re dull because you don’t wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes. But remember, just because you think it doesn’t mean it’s true.The best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that your image is far from objective, and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. Changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image. When you can pat(拍) yourself on the back, you’ll know you’re well on your way. Good luck!61.Y ou need to build a positive self-image when you .A. dare to challenge yourselfB. feel it hard to change yourselfC. are unconfident about yourselfD. have a high opinion of yourself62.According to the passage, our self-images .A. have positive effectsB. are probably untrueC. are often changeableD. have different functions63.How should you change your self-image according to the passage?A.

To change the way you think.64.What is the passage mainly about?A.How to prepare for your success.B.How to face challenges in your life.C.How to build a positive self-image.D.How to develop you good qualities.65.Who are the intended readers of the passage?A.Parents.B.Adolescentscators.D.People in general.CDr. Leo Buscaglia once said, “ No one gets out of this world alive, so the tme to live, learn, care, share, celebrate and love is now. That would be pretty hard to do when you’re waiting for all the answers first.”So you got it wrong. Y ou made a mistake. So what should you do next? Forgive yourself and try again. Y ou may not get out of this world alive, but you can get plenty of life out of this world if you are not too worried about always getting it right.66.

We should try to learn and understand the answers to questions.C. It is very important to try to avoid mistakes.D. It is our duty to make the world a better place.70. What is the style of the passage?A. novelB. newsC. essay D poemPART FOUR WRITING (45 marks)SECTION A (10 marks)Directions：Read the following passage．Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage．Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORKS for each answer．Teamwork is the process of a group of people working together in order to achieve a goal. It is an essential part of any business.First and the most important, a team must have been communicated to them a clear goal to work towards. Poor communication may lead to unsatisfactory results. A strong team will also include a mixture of people, with different academic backgrounds and skills. The team must be able to talk openly and honestly to each other, sharing ideas and making suggestions while listening to and understanding what others have to say.While many employees are able to perform important functions on their own, working as a team brings a wide range of talents and resources to a project that would be almost impossible for just one person to match. Ideas on the project itself and how to achieve its goals can be exchanged, and new points of view voiced, which would be difficult to achieve with just one person, who may be firmly fixed on one perspective (思考方法),thus lowering the quality of the results.Because a team is a group of people, each with their own opinions and personalities, conflicts can and do arise. If not acted upon swiftly and effectively, this can lower morale (士气) in the team and reduce productivity, affecting the quality of results achieved. A team can also take longer than an individual to achieve a goal, as organizing a team often requires considerable preparation.Having a good team working on a project ensures that the task will be dealt with thoroughly and this means the goal will be achieved with a very high quality. A good team will also create trust and confidence,both in themselves and one another. And this will benefit both the individuals and the companySECTION B (10 marks)Directions：Read the following passage．Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit：Write your answers on your answer sheet．Playing is serous business for children. In fact, it’s what they do best! Ask them why they do it, and kids will probably say, “Because it’s fun!” But it’s much more than that. It’s also good for them.Studies show that from birth babies begin learning through play. They use their five senses to get know their new world. Touching allows them to discover how different things feel. Brightly colored toys and clothing help develop a baby’s sense of sight.When small children choose which toy to play with, they begin developing their abilities in making decisions.Children love toys that allow them to use their imagination. Sometimes an empty box is more fun than a high-tech toy. That’s because a box can become anything a child imagines it to be.Crayons, paints and Play-Doh(彩色塑泥) are also good because they allow children to crate. Traditional building blocks teach important pre-math skills like problem-solving.Playing doesn’t become any less important once children start school. Many valuable lessons about life are learned on the school playground. Kids learn how to share, take turns and play by the rules.81.

电阻定律 欧姆定律 要点·疑点·考点 课 前 热 身 能力·思维·方法 延伸·拓展 要点·疑点·考点 1.电流(1)定义：通过导体横截面的电荷量q跟通过这些电荷量所用时间t的比值叫做电流 (2)公式：I=q/t (3)标量，但有方向规定正电荷定向移动方向为电流方向 (4)电流的微观表达式：I=nqvS 要点·疑点·考点 2.部分电路欧姆定律(1)公式：I=U/R (2)适用范围：适用于金属、电解质溶液，但对气态导体(如日光灯管中的气体)和某些导电器件(如晶体管)并不适用 (3)应用时注意： ①U、I与R的一一对应 ②R一定时，I∝U；U一定时，I∝1/R；I一定时，U∝R 要点·疑点·考点 3.电阻定律 (1)电阻：导体对电流的阻碍作用 定义式为R=U/I，但R由导体本身性质决定，与U、I无关，只是可以由U、I的比值度量 (2)电阻定律：R=?L/S (3)材料的电阻率： ?=R· (S/L)，即在数值上等于这种材料制成的长为1m、横截面积为1m2的导体的电阻 ?反映材料导电性能的好坏， ?决定于材料和温度两个因素，金属的电阻率随温度的升高而增大 要点·疑点·考点 (4)超导体 ①超导现象：某些材料在温度为绝对0度附近时电阻率突然减小为0，这种现象为超导现象 ②转变温度TC：材料由正常状态转变为超导状态的温度 ③应用：超导电磁铁、超导电机、计算机超导化 课 前 热 身 1.下面关于欧姆定律的说法中，不正确的是(A) A.欧姆定律普遍适用于各种物体的导电情况 B.导体中的电流与导体两端的电压有关，也与导体的电阻有关 C.对某一导体来说，导体中的电流与其两端的电压成正比 D.在相同电压的情况下，不同导体中的电流跟导体的电阻成反比 课 前 热 身 2.下列关于电流的方向的说法中，正确的是(B) A.电流的方向就是自由电荷定向移动的方向 B.电流的方向规定为正电荷定向移动的方向 C.在金属导体中，电流的方向与自由电子定向移动的方向相同 D.在电解液中，电流的方向与离子定向移动的方向相同 课 前 热 身 3.关于电阻率的正确说法是(B) A.电阻率与导体的长度l和横截面积S有关 B.电阻率反映了材料的导电能力的强弱，由导体的材料决定，且与温度有关 C.电阻率大的导体，电阻一定很大 D.有些合金的电阻率几乎不受温度变化的影响，可用来制成电阻温度计 能力·思维·方法 【例1】在电解液中： (1)若5s内沿相反方向通过面积为0.5m２的横截面积的正、负离子的电量均为5C，则电解液中的电流为 2 A； (2)若5s内到达阳极的负离子和到达阴极的正离子均为5C，则电流为 1 A. 能力·思维·方法 【解析】(1)因I=q/t中q是通过整个截面的电量，并非单位面积通过的电量，且因正负离子沿相反方向定向移动形成的电流方向是相同的，所以q应为正、负离子电量绝对值之和 故I=q/t=(2×5)/5A=2A (2)对阳极进行讨论：据电解液导电原理得知到达阳极的电荷只有负离子，则：I=q/t=5/5A=1A 能力·思维·方法 【例2】铜的摩尔质量为m，密度为?，每摩尔铜原子有n个自由电子，今有一根横截面积为S的铜导线，通过电流为I时，电子平均定向移动速率为(D) A.光速c B.I/(neS) C.?I/(neSm)D.mI/(neS?) 能力·思维·方法 【解析】假设电子的定向移动的速率为v,那么在t秒内通过导体横截面的自由电子数相当于在体积vt·S中的自由电子数，而体积为vtS的铜的质量为vtS?，摩尔数为vtS?/m，自由电子数为vtS?n/m，所以电量q=vtS?ne/m，因电流I=q/t=vS?ne/m,于是得：v=Im/(neS?) 能力·思维·方法 【解题回顾】有许多同学会错选A，这是对生活现象中：“电路一接通，很远处的用电器就能立即开始工作”的错误认识，这种现象的实质是因为电场以光速传播，而不是电荷运动过去，导体中的电荷定向移动的速率远小于光速.所以请同学们留意身边实际，注意正确地理解.能力·思维·方法 【例3】图10-1-1所示的图像所对应的两个导体： (1)电阻关系R1∶R2为 3∶1 ； (2)若两个导体中的电流相等(不为0)时，电压之比U1∶U2为 ３∶1 ； (3)若两个导体的电压相等(不为0)时，电流之比I1∶I2为 1∶3 .能力·思维·方法 【解析】 (1)因为在I-U图像中R=1/k=cos?=△U/△I， 所以R1=(10×10-3)/(5×10-3)＝２?,R2=(10×10-３)/15×10-3?＝２/3? 故R1∶R2=2∶(2/3)=3∶1. (2)由欧姆定律得U1=I1R,U2=I2R2, 由于I1=I2,所以U1∶U2=R1∶R2=3∶1. (3)由欧姆定律得I1=U1/R1,I2=U2/R2，由于 U1=U2所以I1∶I2=R2∶R1=1∶3.能力·思维·方法 【解题回顾】(1)应用图像的斜率对应的物理量，这是图像法讨论问题的方法之一.但要注意坐标轴，若在U-I图像中斜率的物理意义就是电阻了. (2)图线的斜率k=△y/△x或k=tan?其中△y 、 △x是用坐标轴上数值算出的与坐标轴的标度的选取无关，而?角的大小只有在两坐标轴单位长度相同时才等于实际角的大小，从本题图中量出的?角大小就没有实际意义 能力·思维·方法 【例4】如图10-1-2，AB两地间铺有通讯电缆，长为L，它是由两条并在一起彼此绝缘的均匀导线组成的，通常称为双线电缆.在一次事故中经检查断定是电缆上某处的绝缘保持层损坏，导致两导线之间漏电，相当于该处电缆的两导线之间接了一个电阻. 能力·思维·方法 检查人员经过下面的测量可以确定损坏处的位置：(1)令B端的双线断开，在A处测出双线两端间的电阻RA；(2)令A端的双线断开，在B处测出双线两端的电阻RB；(3)在A端的双线间加一已知电压UA，在B端用内阻很大的电压表测出两线间的电压UB. 试由以上测量结果确定损坏处的位置. 能力·思维·方法 【解析】设双线电缆每单位长的电阻为r，漏电处电阻为R，漏电处距A端为x，则 RA=rx+R， RB=r(L-x)+R， 由欧姆定律，可知:R/(rx+R)=UB/UA， 解得x=[RAL(UA-UB)]/[(RA+RB)UA-2RAUB]. 能力·思维·方法 【解题回顾】这是按题中所给的测量结果算出的答案；若仅仅是这么一个实际问题摆在你面前，你是否还能设计出其他测量计算方案呢?(例如选用同样规格的电缆线，用电源、电压、电流表等测出这种电缆线单位长度的电阻，再量出A、B中任意一端的两线间电阻也能解决) 延伸·拓展 【例5】家用电热灭蚊器中电热部分的主要元件是PTC元件，PTC元件是由钛酸钡等半导体材料制成的电阻器，其电阻率与温度的关系如图10-1-3所示，由于这种特性，因此PTC元件具有发热、控温双重功能. 延伸·拓展 对此，以下判断中正确的是( ). A.通电后，其电功率先增大后减小 B.通电后，其电功率先减小后增大 C.当其产生的热量与散发的热量相等时，温度保持在t1或t2不变 D.当其产生的热量与散发的热量相等时，温度保持在t1至t2的某一值不变 延伸·拓展 【解析】这道题突出了学以致用，理论联系实际，可以说是一道较好的试题. 下面介绍家用电热灭蚊器的结构和原理. 电热灭蚊器采用恒温电加热器达到一定的温度，使置于其上的药片的有效药剂挥发至室内的空间中，达到驱蚊灭蚊之功效.其结构如图10-1-4所示. 延伸·拓展 它的外壳有方形、圆形两种.电加热部分主要由PTC元件、陶瓷座、上下电极、绝缘片、传热板组成.陶瓷座耐高温、不导热、电绝缘，起固定上下电极与PTC元件的作用.上下电极起连接PTC元件与电源的作用，下电极具有一定的弹性，利用它的弹性将PTC夹紧.在上电极与传热板之间加有一层导热性强的云母片作为电绝缘物质，防止传热板带电.传热板热容量大、传热快，药片置于其上将有效地挥发药剂. 延伸·拓展 PTC元件是由钛酸钡等半导体材料制成的电阻器，其电阻率与温度的关系如图10-1-3所示.由图可知，PTC元件在0～t1之间随温度升高，电阻率减小(电阻也减小)，但在t1～t2之间，随温度升高，电阻率迅速增大，可以增大上万倍，呈现正温度系数特性.利用PTC的这一特性，既可以用来加热，又可以利用自身产生的热量来控制温度. 延伸·拓展 一般用电热灭蚊器采用的PTC的t1(居里点)为100℃左右，恒温为165℃左右.当刚通电时，PTC发热，温度升高，电阻(率)减小，通过的电流增大，功率增大，发热更快，温度迅速升至居里点.温度再升高，电阻率(电阻)却迅速增大，因电压一定，故通过的电流减小，发热减小，当产生的热量与散发的热量相等时，温度保持不变.因此，PTC元件具有发热、控温双重功能. 延伸·拓展 PTC元件的这一特性，可以很方便地观察到.用多用表R×１K档直接测两电极间电阻，同时用电铬铁头置于传热板加热，可以清楚观察到这样的现象.PTC元件的电阻先逐渐减小，然后又逐渐增大. 检测PTC元件的好坏也可利用上面的方法. 明确电热灭蚊器的上述原理后，不难得到该题的正确选项是AD项.。

With a gradual 38 to twelve to fourteen hours for toddlers(初学走路的孩子) one to three; eleven to thirteen hours for 39 three to five; and ten to eleven hours for schoolchildren 40 five to ten.But things get really 41 at adolescence(青春期). Not only do teenagers need more sleep than 42 －eight and a half to nine and a quarter hours a night, according to the sleep foundation－but the times 43 which they get sleepy and are able to awaken 44 and feel rested shift in a 45 that does not match to the 46 times at most schools.Sleep studies have shown that the typical teenager does not fall asleep readily before 11 p.m. or later. 47 . many have to get up by 6 a.m. or 48 to get to school for a class 49 starts at 7:30 or 8 a.m. More than a few 50 off during that class, and often the 51 one as well. Even if awake, they’re in no condition to learn much of anything.In one study, more than 90 percent of teenagers 52 they slept less than the 53 nine hours a night, and 10 percent said they slept less than six hours. 54 James B.

Maybe it’s time to rediscover the comfort of train travel.Anyone who’s backpacked with a Eurail pass(欧洲火车通票)in the latter half of the 20th century will remember the long queues for tickets, unreliable timetables and slow cross-country trains. How things have changed. Now, you can book tickets online—Google “Rail Europe”and find the best site for your area—and pay in your local currency.And that’s merely the beginning of the new conveniences. The Eurostar (the railway service between London and France or Belgium, using the tunnel under the English Channel)is popular with V ogue editor Anna Wintour, who no doubt enjoys the convenience of landing dead in the centre of each capital—removing travel time to and from airports, as well as very long check-ins. With Eurostar, just arrive 15 minutes before your train leaves and all will be well.There are a growing number of new-generation Euro trains that cross some of the prettiest countryside on the planet—a fact that won’t be lost even while you’re moving along at 300km/h.The other brilliant aspect of Euro train travel is that there are no baggage restrictions(限制). Sure, there are cheap air tickets available, but if you want to carry more than 20 kg, watch the price increase with the extra baggage charges.Sitting back and watching the beautiful views roll by is holiday-making in itself, which opposed to speeding down the motorway in Italy, being beeped(按汽车喇叭)at by angry Italians for paying attention to the speed limit.And for the environmentally minded, consider this: the carbon footprint(the total amount of greenhouse gases produced to directly and indirectly support human activities)of train travel is tiny compared to air. You can walk around lightly.56、V ogue editor Anna Wintour chooses the Eurostar because .A．it saves her a lot of moneyB．it carries her exactly to the city centreC．it greatly reduces her carbon footprintD．she can carry more than 20 kg of baggage57、The author thinks that booking tickets online is .A．impractical B．cheap C．convenient D．unsafe58、The purpose of the passage is to .A．promote Euro train travelB．criticize airport’s poor serviceC．introduce beautiful views in EuropeD．describe the great changes in Europe59、What’s the author’s attitude towards traveling on motorways?A．It’s pleasant B．It’s tiringC．It’s often upsetting D．it’s environmentally friendlyBWhen you are little, the whole world feels like a big playground. I was living in Conyers, Georgia the summer it all happened. I was a second grader, but my best friend Stephanie was only in the first grade. Both of our parents were at work and most of the time they let us go our own way.It was a hot afternoon and we decided to have an adventure in Stephanie’s basement. As I opened the basement door, before us lay the biggest room, full of amazing things like guns, dolls, and old clothes. I ran downstairs, and spotted a red steel can. It was paint. I looked beyond it and there lay even more paint in bright colors like purple, orange, blue and green.“Stephanie, I just found us a project for the day. Get some paintbrushes. We are fixing to paint.”She screamed with excitement as I told her of my secret plans and immediately we got to work. We gathered all the brushes we could find and moved all of our materials to my yard. There on the road in front of my house, we painted big stripes (条纹) of colors across the pavement (人行道). Stripe by stripe, our colors turned into a beautiful rainbow. It was fantastic!The sun was starting to sink. I saw a car in the distance and jumped up as I recognize the car. It was my mother. I couldn’t wait to show her my masterpiece. The car pulled slowly into the driveway and from the look on my mother’s face, I could tell that I was in deep trouble.My mother shut the car door and walked towards me. Her eyes glaring, she shouted, “What in the world were you thinking? I understood when you made castles out of leaves, and climbed the neighbors’ trees, but this! Come inside right now!” I stood there glaring back at her for a minute, angry because she had insulted (侮辱) my art.“Now go clean it up!”Mother and I began cleaning the road. Tears ran down my cheeks as I saw my beautiful rainbow turn into black cement.Though years have now passed, I still wonder where my rainbow has gone. I wonder if, maybe when I get older, I can find my rainbow and never have to brush it away. I guess we all need some sort of rainbow to brighten our lives from time to time and to keep our hopes and dreams colorful.60、What did the writer want to do when his mother came home?A．To prevent her from seeing his painting.B．To introduce Stephanie to her.C．To show his artwork to her.D．To put the materials back in the yard.61、In his mother’s eyes, the writer .A．always caused trouble.

While Japan is seen as a getting-to-know-you stop, when Obama heads to the Singapore for the APEC meeting, he will likely face pressure on trade. “Many Asians are concerned about what US trade policy will be, and they’ve been somewhat alarmed by the fa ct that the president really hasn’t set out very much revision for what US trade policy is in his administration.”But the critical leg of the trip will come in China, his third stop where Obama will have to navigate the complex relationship with the country that is the largest holder of US debt. “As you say, you know, if you owe the bank one dollar, it’s your problem, if you owe the bank, you know, 3 million dollars, it’s the bank’s problem, so it’s similar with China. I mean they have no interest in trying to use the influence with us, because eventually, they’re the one that they own all those dollars.”Also on the table will be North Korea and Iran’s nuclear ambitions as well as cooperation on Afghanistan.With Obama enjoying sky high popularity level in the countries he is visiting, detailed results may be beside the point, given that Obama is still in his first year in office, analysts say this trip is mostly about laying the ground work for the future.68、From the second paragraph, we can infer that .A．Japan has not been the closest friend of AmericaB．Japan and Singapore will give America some pressure on tradeC．Japan is concerned about what US trade policy will beD．Japan decides not to rely on America too much69、The word“leg”in the third paragraph probably means .A．one of the parts of a football match that is played in two halvesB．the two long parts of your body that your feet are joined toC．one of the upright parts that supports a piece of furnitureD．a part of a long journey or process that is done one part at a time70、What can you infer about China’s relation with America in the third paragraph?A．China will sell all its shares in US national debt.B．It will hurt China if the value of the dollar falls.C．China will not be the largest debt holder of US.D．China is US’ s overseas bank where US can borrow money.71、The author develops the passage mainly .A．by examples B．by cause and effectC．by comparison D．by order in timeELet’s face it. No one drinks diet soda for the taste. People drink diet soda in the hope that it will help them lose weight or at least keep them from gaining it. Yet it seems to have exactly the opposite effect, according to a new study.Researchers from the University of Texas said those who drank two or more diet sodas a day had waist size increases that were six times greater than those of people who didn’t drink diet soda. “What we saw was that the more diet sodas a person drinks, the more weight they were likely to gain,” said Sharon Fowler.The study was based on data from 474 participants in a larger, ongoing research project, where the participants were followed for nearly 10 years.While the findings were surprising, they also offer some explanations.Nutrition expert, Melanie Rogers, who works with overweight patients in New York, has found that when patients are switched from regular to diet soda, they don’t lose weight at all. “We weren’t seeing weight loss necessarily, and that was confusing to us,” said Rogers.So why would diet soda cause weight gain? No one knows for sure yet, but it could be that people think they can eat more if they drink diet soda, and so over-compensate for the missing calories.A related study found some sweeteners（甜味剂）raised blood sugar levels in some mice. “Data from this and other potential studies suggest that the promotion of diet sodas and artificial sweeteners may be risky,” said study researcher Helen P. Hazuda, professor at the University of Texas’s school of medicine. “They” may be free of calories, but not of consequences.”72、People drink diet soda to ________.A．stay in fashion B．enjoy its tasteC．gain more energy D．achieve weight loss73、The new study suggests that drinking diet soda ________.A．helps people to be healthier B．cause people to become heavier C．offers people more calories D．makes people much thinner74、We can learn from the passage that ________.A．diet soda drinkers tend to eat more foodB．regular soda makes people lose more weightC．most blood diseases come from diet sodaD．diet soda does help reduce calories75、The underlined wor d “They” in the last paragraph probably refers to ________.A．diet sodas and artificial sweeteners B．sweetenersC．diet soda drinkers and sweetener takers D．sodas第II卷（非选择题共35分）第四部分写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节：任务型读写（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。

People can communicate with their friends or relatives freely in different ways. Among them chatting on the QQ is one of the most popular ones. Almost every Senior student has their own QQ number, with which they can chat with their friends, ask their teachers to help them solve their puzzles and exchange their thoughts. QQ is really a helpful tool to them.However, some students have spent too much time chatting with their QQ friends, some of whom are totally strangers. Most of the chatting on the QQ is completely meaningless. What’s worse, some students have hundreds of QQ friends on the QQ, eating up almost all their spare time, even in the classroom.I do think that QQ can bring us much convenience and benefit when communicating with others, but what we should do is use it properly and reasonably. We should limit our time on it and devote ourselves to our study.【参考答案解析】21. B 考查情景交际。

And36 otherwise assigned(指定) a seat by the teacher, I always 37 to sit at the back of the classroom.All this 38 after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested I try out for the basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy 39 because I didn't have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the 40 to keep pace with the others on the team and they would tease me. But for the teacher who kept insisting on my “ 41 for it”, I wouldn't have decided to gi ve it a try.Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts was only the 42 of it! When I first started 43 the practice sessions, I didn't even know the rules of the game, much 44 what I was doing. Sometimes I'd get 45 and take a shot at the wrong direction—which made me feel really stupid. 46 , I wasn't the only one "new" at the game, so I decided to 47 on learn-ing the game, do my best at each practice session, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn't48 “just yet”.I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the 49 and the "moves".Being part of a team was fun and motivating. Very soon the competitive 50 in me was winning over my lack of confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the 51 — friends who respected my efforts to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun!With my 52 self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates.

The morning after the storm, though, was beautiful: blue skies, warm air and a calm, inviting sea touching the shore gently.My father realised it was a good day for fishing and invited my sister and me to go with him. I was only 14 and fishing had never been my thing, but I decided to go all the same. I' m so glad I did.On the road to the harbour we could see the terrible destruction on the coast, but the harbour itself was in fairly good shape. After all, it was protected by the arms of a bay that had only one tiny channel to the sea. As we got on board, we noticed two big humps (脊背) in the distance.On approaching them, we saw it was a mother whale with her baby. We couldn't believe it — there aren't any whales along the coast here. The storm must have driven them across the ocean into the bay, in which the still water was so badly polluted that nothing could survive.The little baby whale — actually as big as our boat—was obviously stuck and could not move. The mother dived under the water and came up suddenly, making big whirlpools (漩涡) and waves. "She' s trying to help her baby, but on the wrong side, " my father said. At this point, my father moved our boat in a semicircle to the other side and, heading the boat towards the baby whale, pushed it gently. With our several gentle pushes the big hump turned over and disappeared under water. Then it swam up right beside its mum. They struggled in their desperate attempts to escape but missed the exit and started heading in the wrong direction. We hurried up to the whales and tried to lead them towards the bay channel. Slowly, they let us lead them, sometimes rising from the water right beside us to breathe —and to give us a trusting look with those huge eyes. Once they hit their first part of clean water flowing straight from the sea, the mum gave us a wave with her tail and off they swam into the distance.In the excitement it had felt like only a few minutes, but we had been with those wonderful animals for almost an hour and a half. That was the simple and lasting beauty of the day. Nearly four decades later, I still look back fondly to that golden day at sea.56．The author says "I'm so glad I did." ( in Para. 2) because ________.A．he witnessed the whole process of fishingB．he enjoyed the beauty of the calm seaC．he experienced the rescue of the whalesD．he spent the weekend with his family57．The harbour survived the storm owing to ________.A．the shape of the harbour B．the arms of the bayC．the still water in the channel D．the long coast line58．The mother whale failed to help her baby because ________.A．she had stayed in the polluted water for too longB．the whirlpools she had made were not big enoughC．she had no other whales around to turn to for helpD．the waves pushed her baby in the wrong direction59．What is the theme of the story?A．Saving lives brings people a sense of happiness.B．.Fishing provides excitement for children.C．.It's necessary to live in harmony with animals.D．It's vital to protect the environment.BThe elephant was lying heavily on its side, fast asleep. A few dogs started barking at it. The elephant woke up in a terrible anger: it chased the dogs into the village where they ran for safety. That didn't stop the elephant. It destroyed a dozen houses and injured several people. The villagers were scared and angry. Then someone suggested calling Parbati, the elephant princess.Parbati Barua's father was a hunter of tigers and an elephant tamer. He taught Parbati to ride an elephant before she could even walk. He also taught her the dangerous art of the elephant round-up -- how to catch wild elephants.Parbati hasn't always lived in the jungle. After a happy childhood hunting with her father, she was sent to boarding school in the city. But Parbati never got used to being there and many years later she went back to her old life, “Life in the city is too dull. Catching elephants is an adventure and the excitement lasts for days after the chase,” she says.But Parbati doesn't catch elephants just for fun. "My work," she says, "is to rescue man from the elephants, and to keep the elephants safe from man. " And this is exactly what Parbati has been doing for many years. Increasingly, the Indian elephant is angry: for many years, illegal hunters have attacked it and its home in the jungle has been reduced to small pieces of land. It is now fighting back. Whenever wild elephants enter a tea garden or a village, Parbati is called to guide the animals back to the jungle before they can kill.The work of an elephant tamer also involves love and devotion. A good elephant tamer will spend hours a day singing love songs to a newly captured elephant. "Eventually they grow to love their tamers and never forget them. They are also more loyal than humans," she said, as she climbed up one of her elephants and sat on the giant, happy animal.

Others also provide information on accommodation agencies and other housing organizations. The advantage of using your university accommodation office is that you can get some support if you have a problem. Thedisadvantage is that they are unlikely to have enough registered landlords to house all their students. Property papers: Loot and RentingLoot is an important source(来源) of information about private housing for co-renters. The offers are from private landlords, agencies and individuals looking for other co-renters. They also have a website: www. loot. com. The advantage of using Loot is that there are some excellent bargains. The disadvantage is that there is no quality control over the offers.Renting is another useful paper. The offers in this paper are mainly from accommodation agencies. Their website is at www. renting.co. uk.Accommodation agenciesThe majority of rented accommodation in London is probably advertised through accommodation agencies. The advantage of using accommodation agencies is that you will have access to a large number of accommodations. A good agent will listen to your requirements and can save you time in looking for the right accommodation. The disadvantage is that they will make a range of charges to potential renters. NoticeboardsAround the universities you will find a number of noticeboards where offers of accommodation will be posted. These will either be from landlords or from students. Some universities will also have online noticeboards where students can advertise to other students. Advertisements from students can be an excellent way to find accommodation. However, advertisements from landlords can be problematic(有疑问的).Word of mouthSome of the best housing in London is never advertised but is passed on from one group of students to another by word of mouth. It might be that you can find out about good offers from final year students. However, don't suppose that just because you have found out about housing from a friend it is necessarily going to be better than that found through any other source.FamilyFaced with the very high rents charged in London, some students and their parents will consider buying as an alternative. In some cases this might be a good choice.64．What is the advantage of using Loot?A．It has more offers from accommodation agencies than Renting.B．It gives you personal information about other co-renters.C．Their website is designed mainly for students.D．There are some good bargains.65．A good agent can help you______.A．know more people B．find cheap accommodationC．get the right accommodation quickly D．get free information about most accommodations 66．The information passed on by word of mouth is important because______.A．it is better than that found through any other sourceB．it helps you find some of the best housing never advertisedC．the final year students always offer better informationD．the landlords have little valuable information67．For students going to London for the first time, which of the following provides the most reliable information?A．University accommodation offices. B．Loot and Renting.C．Noticeboards. D．Family.DAsk someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place.The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 2005 and 2012. It now makes up a third of a typical household’s waste in the UK. In man y supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example, is running out of areas for carrying this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue , encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example.But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to associate packaging with quality. We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. This is especially true of food. But it also applies to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary.There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realise just how much unnecessary material are collecting. We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb.68．What does the underlined phrase “over-consumption” refer to?A．Using too much packaging. B．Recycling too many wastes.C．Making more products than necessary. D．Having more material than is needed. 69．The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show _______.A．the tendency of cutting household waste B．the increase of packaging recyclingC．the rapid growth of super markets D．the fact of packaging overuse 70．According to the text, recycling ______.A．helps control the greenhouse effect B．means burning packaging for energyC．is the solution to gas shortage D．leads to a waste of land71．What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?A．Unpackaged products are of bad quality. B．Supermarkets care more about packaging.C．It is improper to judge quality by packaging. D．Other products are better packaged than food.EFor many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do？Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents' point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents' complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped.In this article, I'll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things. Examples include the color of the teen' s hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child's failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on theweekends.Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It doesn't matter what the topic is —politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg — the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority — someone who actually knows something — and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they'll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.72．Why does the author compare the parent-teen war to a border conflict?A．Both can continue for generations. B．Both are about where to draw the line.C．Neither has any clear winner. D．Neither can be put to an end.73．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?A．The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.B．The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict.C．The teens accuse their parents of misleading them.D．The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents.74．Parents and teens want to be right because they want to ____________.A．give orders to the other B．know more than the otherC．gain respect from the other D．get the other to behave properly75．What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?A．Causes for the parent-teen conflicts. B．Examples of the parent-teen war.C．Solutions for the parent-teen problems. D．Future of the parent-teen relationship.第II卷（非选择题共35分）第四部分写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节：任务型读写（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后的表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词，每空一个词。
