Have you understood what you saw on the screen? Maybe everyone has their own learning style.Generally speaking, we gather information with our minds and bodies in different ways, such as seeing, hearing and doing. Then our brains deals with that information, organizing it and connecting it to things we are already aware of. In other words, our brains will deal with the information in different ways. Sometimes we think in pictures or words. Sometimes we remember details or the big pictures.For different people, their learning styles are different too. One person may find it hard to mke out the information in written forms but easy to know it immediately in an oral description. However, another person might find difficulties with the picture but the written message.Now scientists say there exist seven basic learning styles.•Linguistic: These people learn through listening, reading, speaking and writing.•Logical: These people learn with formula (公式) and principles (原理).•Visual: These people learn by seeing what they are studying.•Musical: These people learn well when information is presented through music.•Kinesthetic: These people learn from movement and physical activities.•Intrapersonal: Th ese people learn best by linking new information directly with their own experiences. •Interpersonal: These people learn well by working with others.Therefore, if you know what learning style is your strength, you can balance your weakness, and get a more successful learning experience.25. From the passage, we know that our brains __________.A. deal with the information in different waysB. send out the information in the same wayC. organize information with our bodiesD. gather information in the same way26. A visual learner usually learns __________.A. through listening and speakingB. by seeing what he is learningC. from movement and physical activitiesD. by linking new information with his experience27. A musical learner will find it easy to learn __________.A. with formulas and principlesB. by working with othersC. through reading and writingD. through music he hears28. The purpose of the passage is to tell us to __________.A. learn more successfullyB. gather more informationC. understand more quicklyD. exchange information betterCZheng He was one of China’s most famous explorers. Towards the end of the fourteenth century, his fleet (舰队) sailed to countries far away.Zheng He had over 300 ships, some of which were over 150 meters long, and could carry up to 1,000 people. Besides, the ships carried gold, silver, silk, china and other treasures to give as gifts to the rulers of other countries. Some ships even had earth on board so that the sailors could grow their crops for food.On Zheng He’s first voyage, he set sail across the Indian Ocean. His fleet travelled many days far away from land. One day, they were hit by a storm. All the sailors thought the fleet was going to sink. Then a strange light appeared and after that, the storm passed. The strange light was probably electricity from the thunderstorm (雷雨), but the sailors in Zheng He’s fleet believed it was a sign of protection from the gods. With the belief, they were happy to follow Zheng He wherever he led them.Zheng He completed seven famous voyages between 1405 and 1433. He visited many countries in Asia and Africa. He brought back many gifts from the countries he visited, such as medicines, pearls (珍珠) and strange animals. The most famous of them were a giraffe and a zebra.In 28 years of travelling, Zheng He had managed to share the glory of China with many different countries. When he died in 1435, the stories of his travels made him one of China’s most famous sailors.29.

Maybe everyone has their 21own learning style.22Generally speaking, we gather information with our minds and bodies 23in different ways, such as seeing, hearing and doing. Then our brains 24deals with that information, organizing it and connecting it to things 25we are already aware of. In other words, our brains will deal with the 26information in different ways. Sometimes we think in pictures or words.27Sometimes we remember details or the big pictures.28For different people, their learning styles are different too. One 29person may find it hard to mke out the information in written forms but 30easy to know it immediately in an oral description. However, another 31person might find difficulties with the picture but the written message.32Now scientists say there exist seven basic learning styles.233•Linguistic: These people learn through listening, reading, speaking 34and writing.35•Logical: These p eople learn with formula (公式) and principles (原36理).37•Visual: These people learn by seeing what they are studying.38•Musical: These people learn well when information is presented 39through music.40•Kinesthetic: These people learn from movement and physical41activities.42•Intrapersonal: These people learn best by linking new information 43directly with their own experiences.44•Interpersonal: These people learn well by working with others. 45Therefore, if you know what learning style is your strength, you can 46balance your weakness, and get a more successful learning experience.4725.

Towards the end 69of the fourteenth century, his fleet (舰队) sailed to countries far away.70Zheng He had over 300 ships, some of which were over 150 meters long, 71and could carry up to 1,000 people.

Some ships even had earth on board so that the sailors 74could grow their crops for food.75On Zheng He’s first voyage, he set sail across the Indian Ocean.76His fleet travelled many days far away from land. One day, they were hit 77by a storm. All the sailors thought the fleet was going to sink. Then78a strange light appeared and after that, the storm passed. The strange79light was probably electricity from the thunderstorm (雷雨), but the 80sailors in Zheng He’s fleet believed it was a sign of protec tion from481the gods. With the belief, they were happy to follow Zheng He wherever 82he led them.83Zheng He completed seven famous voyages between 1405 and 1433. He 84visited many countries in Asia and Africa. He brought back many gifts 85from the countries he visited, such as medicines, pearls (珍珠) and 86strange animals. The most famous of them were a giraffe and a zebra.87In 28 years of travelling, Zheng He had managed to share the glory 88of China with many different countries.

You probably know who Marie Curie was,but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson.Of the outstanding ladies listed below,who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?Jane Addams(1860-1935)Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank.Addans helped the poor and worked for peace.

Even when her daughter and son asked her to move to San Antonio to help with their children, she politely refused . Only after a year of friendly discussion did Ms. Garza finally say yes. That was four years ago. Today all three generations regard the move as a success,giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities.No statistics show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer to adult children and grandchildren. Yet there is evidence suggesting that the trend is growing. Even President Obama’s mother-in-law, Marian Robinson, has agreed to leave Chicago and move into the White House to help care for her granddaughters. According to a study by grandparents. com. 83 percent of the people said Mrs. Robinson ‘s decision will influence the grandparents in the American family. Two-thirds believe more families will follow the example of Obama’s family.“in the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldn’t get away from home far enough fsst enough to prove we could do it on our own,”says Christine Crosby, publisher of grate manazine for grandparents .We n ow realize how important family is and how important”” to be near them, especially when you’re raining children.”Moving is not for everyone. Almost every grandparent wants to be with his or her grandchildren and is willing to make sacrifices, but sometimes it is wiser to say no and visit frequently instead. Having your grandchildren far away is hard, especially knowing your adult child is struggling, but giving up the life you know may be harder.25.

B．Few people responded sympathetically.C．83% believed it had a bad influence. D．The majority thought it was a trend.27. What did Crosby say about people in the 1960s?A．They were unsure of raise more children. B．They were eager to raise more children.C．They wanted to live away from their parents. D．They bad little respect for their grandparent.28. What does the author suggest the grandparents do in the lasr paragraph?A. Make decisions in the best interests' of their ownB. Ask their children to pay more visits to themC. Sacrifice for their struggling childrenD. Get to know themselves betterI am peter Hodes ,a volunteer stem courier. Since March 2012, I've done 89 trips of those , 51 have been abroad, I have 42 hours to carry stem cells（干细胞）in my little box because I've got two ice packs and that's how long they last, in all, from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor(捐献者) to the time they can be implanted in the patient, we’ve got 72 hours at most, So I am always conscious of time.I had one trip last year where I was caught by a hurricane in America. I picked up the stem cells in Providence, Rhode Island, and was meant to fly to Washington then back to London. But when I arrived at the check-in desk at Providence, the lady on the desk said:”Well, I’m really sorry, I’ve got some bad news for you-there are no fights from Washington.”So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said:”In this box are some stem cells that are urgently needed for a patient-please, ple ase, you’ve got to get me back to the United Kingdom.”She just dropped everything. She arranged for a flight on a small plance to be held for me.re-routed(改道)me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originally scheduled.For this cour ier job, you’re consciously aware than that box you’re got something that is potentially going to save somebody’s life.29.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “courier” in Paragraph17A providerB delivery manC collectorD medical doctor30.Why does Peter have to complete his trip within 42hours?A. He cannot stay away from his job too long.B. The donor can only wait for that long.C. The operation needs that very much.D. The ice won't last any longer.31.Which flight did the woman put Peter on first?A. To LondonB. To NewarkC. To ProvidenceD. To WashingtonThe meaning of silence varies among cultural groups. Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has not hing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap(间隙)with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person's needs. Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chine se and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what maybe implie d(暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic udner discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.Nurses and other care-geivers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be expericencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing(治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.32.What does the author say about silence in conversations?A.It implies anger.B.It promotes friendship.C.It is culture-specific.D.It is content-based.33.Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought?A.The Chinese.B.The French.C.The Mexicans.D.The Russians.34.What does the author advise nurses to do about silence?A.Let it continue as the patient pleases.B.Break it while treating patients.C.Evaluate its harm to patients.D.Make use of its healing effects.35.What may be the best title for the text?A.Sound and SilenceB.What It Means to Be SilentC.Silence to Native AmericansD.Speech Is Silver; Silence Is Gold 第二节（共5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
