D)阅读下面的短文,根据短文内容回答问题。(10分)

New rules and behaviour standards(行为规范) for middle school students came out(颁布) in March. Middle schools are going to use a new way to decide who the top students are. The best students won’t only have high marks. The following are some of the new rules.

Tell the truth. Have you ever cheated(作弊) in an exam? Don’t do it again! That’s not something honest students should do.

Do more at school. Good students love animals and care for other people. April is Birdloving Month in China. Is your school doing anything to celebrate it? You should join! In that way, you can learn more about animals and how to protect(保护) them.

Be open to new ideas. Have you ever thought people could live on the moon? Maybe you’ll find another earth in space in the future. Everyone’s new ideas are important.

Protect yourself. Has a thief ever taken money from one of your classmates? Don’t let it happen to you. If you have to go back home late, you should let your parents know.

Use the Internet carefully. The Internet can be very useful for your study. But some things on the Internet aren’t for kids, so try to look at the good web pages(网页). You can use the web pages for fun or homework.

36. What should the best students do in an exam? 

Here&39;s a familiar story. You&39;re sitting at the dinner table with a furry, four-legged friend scratching at your feet. When you look down, those cute eyes are almost impossible to resist.

What is it about a dog&39;s gaze that makes it so charming? A new study by Japanese scientist Miho Nagasawa seems to have found the answer, and it has to do with something called the cuddle(爱抚)chemical.

The cuddle chemical has another, more scientific name: oxytocin. Oxytocin is a substance in the blood that encourages bonding. Levels of oxytocin increase, for example, when a mother feeds her newborn baby. According to Nagasawa&39;s study, the same is true when we look deeply into the eyes of a dog.

The results of this study can tell us a lot about the history of the bond between humans and dogs. It all started somewhere tens of thousands of years ago. Scientists believe that wolves used to follow humans who were hunting large animals. The wolves would eat the food left behind by the humans.

Humans realized that they could use the wolves to help with the hunt, and eventually both species began to work together toward survival.

Over time, the wolves that interacted with the humans began to change. They became more loyal to their human partners. The wolves and humans started to depend on each other and bond with each other. These changes are what caused some of the wolves to turn into what we now know as dogs, a new specie^ evolved to better survive in their environment.

This process depended a great deal on the bond humans formed with them. And according to Nagasawa&39;s study, this bond was formed with the help of oxytocin, the cuddle chemical.

11. What do we know about oxytocin?

A.It regulates blood flow

B.It promotes bonding

C.It is in the human gene

D.It is good for health

When we look deeply into a dog's eyes, the levels of our oxytocin ____.A.reduce over time

B.go either up or down

C.are on the rise

D.remain unchanged

At the beginning wolves followed humans to ____.A.eat the food left by humans

B.guard against large animals

C.take humans for food

D.hunt large animals together

Over time some wolves turned into dogs ____.A.due to their loyalty

B.due to the changing environment

C.for better survival

D.for better cooperation

What does Nagasawa9s study aim to do?A.Explore the role of human-wolf partnership

B.Show the characteristics of the cuddle chemical

C.Explain the bond between humans and dogs

D.Understand the evolution of species

(40 points)Text 1It is curious that Stephen Koziatek feels almost as though he has to justify his efforts to give his students a better future.Mr. Koziatek is part of something pioneering. He is a teacher at a New Hampshire high school where learning is not something of books and tests and mechanical memorization, but practical. When did it become accepted wisdom that students should be able to name the 13th president of the United States but be utterly overwhelmed by a broken bike chain?As Koziatek knows, there is learning in just about everything. Nothing is necessarily gained by forcing students to learn geometry at a graffitied desk stuck with generations of discarded chewing gum. They can also learn geometry by assembling a bicycle.But hes also found a kind of insidious prejudice. Working with your hands is seen as almost a mark of inferiority. Schools in the family of vocational education “have that stereotype . that its for kids who cant make it academically,” he says.On one hand, that viewpoint is a logical product of Americas evolution. Manufacturing is not the economic engine that it once was. The job security that the US economy once offered to high school graduates has largely evaporate

A. according to

考题 共用题干 第二篇Excessive Demands on Young PeopleBeing able to multitask is hailed by most people as a welcome skill,but not according to a recent study which claims that young people between the ages of eight and eighteen of the so-called Generation M are spending a considerable amount of their time in fruitless efforts as they multitask.It argues that in fact,these young people are frittering(浪费)away as much as half of their time as they would if they performed the very same tasks one after the other.Some young people are using an ever larger number of electronic devices as they study. At the same time they are working,young adults are also surfing on the Internet,or sending out emails to their friends,and/or answering the telephone and listening to music on their iPods or on another computer. As some new device comes along,it is also added to the list rather than replacing one of the existing devices.Other research has indicated that this multitasking is even affecting the way families themselves function as young people are too wrapped up in(沉湎于)their own isolated worlds to interact with the other people around them. They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house nor can they eat at the family table.All this electronic wizardry(魔力)is supposedly also seriously affecting young people's performance at university and in the workplace. When asked about their opinions of the impact of modern gadgets(小装置) on their performance of tasks,the great majority of young people gave a favourable response.The response from the academic and business worlds was not quite as positive.The former feel that mul- titasking with electronic gadgets by children affects later development of study skills,resulting in a decline in the quality of writing,for example,because of the lack of concentration on task completion.They feel that many undergraduates now urgently need remedial(补救的)help with study skills. Similarly, employers feel that young people entering the workforce need to be taught all over again,as they have become deskilled.While all this may be true,it mnust be borne in mind that more and more is expected of young people nowadays in fact,too much.Praise rather than criticism is due in respect of the way today's youth are able to cope despite what the older generation throw at them.The academics feel that many undergraduates badly need to__________.A:adjust their social attitudesB:seek psychological assistanceC:improve their study skillsD:take more business courses答案:C解析:由第一段中的“these young people are frittering away...as they would”可知,M一代的人浪 费了太多时间。由第二段中“As some new device comes along, it is also added to the list rather than repla- cing one of the existing devices”可知,当新的装置出现时,孩子只是多了一样装置而已,而不是 用它取代已有的装置,故选D。由第二段最后一句“They can no longer greet family members when...nor can they eat at the family table.”可知,M一代的孩子回家也不和家人打招呼,也不上桌子吃饭,与家人的关系疏 远了。故选C。第四段第二句“The former feel...affects later development of study skills”中的The former 指的是the academics,且由该段倒数第二句可知,选C。由最后一段中的“praise rather than criticism...”可知选D。 praise相当于support。 第三篇 本篇文章主要讲述了成年人也有想象力及如何培养想象力的问题。

考题 问答题Despite the basic biological, chemical, and physical similarities found in all living things, a diversity of life exists not only among and between species but also within every natural population. The phenomenon of diversity has had a long history of study because so many of the variations that exist in nature are visible to the eye.  1) It has been suggested that sexual reproduction became the dominant type of reproduction among organisms because of its inherent advantage of variability, which is the mechanism that enables a species to adjust to changing conditions.New variations are potentially present in genetic differences, but how preponderant a variation becomes in a gene pool depends upon the number of offspring the mutants or variants produce (differential reproduction). 2)It is possible for a genetic novelty (new variation) to spread in time to all members of a population, especially if the novelty enhances the population’s chances for survival in the environment in which it exists.Thus, when a species is introduced into a new habitat, it either adapts to the change by natural selection or by some other evolutionary mechanism or else it eventually dies off. Because each new habitat means new adaptations, habitat changes have been responsible for the millions of different kinds of species and for the heterogeneity within each species.  The total number of animal and plant species is estimated at between 2,000,000 and 4,500,000; authoritative estimates of the number of extinct species range from 15,000,000 up to 16,000,000,000. 3)Although the use of classification as a means of producing some kind of order out of this staggering number of different types of organisms appears as early as the book of Genesis—with references to cattle, beasts, fowl, creeping things, trees, etc.—the first scientific attempt at classification is attributed to the Greek philosopher Aristotle, who tried to establish a system that would indicate the relationship of all things to each other.He arranged everything along a scale, or “ladder of nature”, with nonliving things at the bottom; plants were placed below animals, and man was at the top. 4)Other schemes that have been used for grouping species include large anatomical similarities, such as wings or fins, which indicate a natural relationship, and also similarities in reproductive structures.  5)At the present time taxonomy is based on two major assumptions: one is that similar body construction can be used as a criterion for a classification grouping; the other is that, in addition to structural similarities, evolutionary and molecular relationships between organisms can be used as a means for determining classification.正确答案:(1)【答案】有人曾经提出:有性繁殖在有机生命体的繁殖方式中占支配地位,其原因在于有性繁殖所固有的变异性方面的优势。变异性是一种机制,能使物种自我调节以适应条件的变化。 【解析】该句需要注意的是It has been suggested...不能直接翻译成“它被建议…”,it指代的该句中that之后的内容,此处it只是起到形式主语的作用,因此应根据汉语多主动句的特点将其译为:有人曾经提出…。(2)【答案】某种遗传变异(新变异)及时扩散到一个生物群体的所有成员,这是可能的。尤其当这种变异能提高该群体在其生存环境中的存活机会时,可能性更大。 【解析】本句需要注意的是对It is possible...的翻译,由于真正的主语是possible之后的内容,因此翻译时应译为:…是由可能的。此外,enhance的宾语为chances(机会),因此应取其“提高”的意思。(3)【答案】虽然早在《物种起源》那本书中就使用分类方法把为数众多的不同种类的生物排列出了一个次序,书中提到的生物包括:家养牲畜、野兽、禽类、爬行动物、树木等。不过,真正从科学上首次尝试对物种分类还应归于希腊哲学家亚里士多德。他曾试图建立一个体系,来表明世界万物彼此之间的关系。 【解析】本句中破折号之间的内容为解释说明,翻译时可将其独立成句,并添加主语,即:书中提到的生物包括:家养牲畜、野兽、禽类、爬行动物、树木等。(4)【答案】曾经用来进行物种分类的其他方法还有:根据解剖结构上存在的重大相似性分类,比如翅膀或鳍,这种相似性显示的是自然属性的关系;还可以根据繁殖系统结构的相似性分类。 【解析】anatomical意为“结构上的,解剖的”,fin指“鱼鳍,鳍状物”,该句中which引导的定语从句是对anatomical similarities的修饰。(5)【答案】目前,生物分类学基于两大思路:一个是可以用生物体结构的相似性作为物种分类的依据;另一个是,除了结构的相似性以外,还可以把生物在进化以及分子方面的关联作为决定分类的依据。 【解析】taxonomy意为“(生物)分类学”,注意该句中被动形式“taxonomy is based on”与汉语主动形式“生物分类学基于…”之间的转换。解析:暂无解析

考题 问答题Practice 1  Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. (1) It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child—things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. (2) But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things, or being punished for what he has done wrong.正确答案:(1) 在他的生活里,不可能再有得到这么多而无需付出和回报的时候了。(2) 但是孩子也有自己的痛苦:他没有做自己想做的事的自由,人们总是告诉他不能做什么,或者为他做的错事惩罚他。解析:暂无解析

考题 问答题Human beings in all times and places think about their world and wonder at their place in it. Humans are thoughtful and creative, possessed of insatiable curiosity.1) Furthermore, humans have the ability to modify the environment in which they live, thus subjecting all other life forms to their own peculiar ideas and fancies.Therefore, it is important to study humans in all their richness and diversity in a calm and systematic manner, with the hope that the knowledge resulting from such studies can lead humans to a more harmonious way of living with themselves and with all other life forms on this planet Earth.  “Anthropology” derives from the Greek words anthropos “human” and logos “the study of.” By its very name, anthropology encompasses the study of all humankind.Anthropology is one of the social sciences.2) Social science is that branch of intellectual enquiry which seeks to study humans and their endeavors in the same reasoned, orderly, systematic, and dispassioned manner that natural scientists use for the study of natural phenomena.  Social science disciplines include geography, economics, political science, psychology, and sociology. Each of these social sciences has a subfield or specialization which lies particularly close to anthropology.  All the social sciences focus upon the study of humanity. Anthropology is a field-study oriented discipline which makes extensive use of the comparative method in analysis.3)The emphasis on data gathered first-hand, combined with a cross-cultural perspective brought to the analysis of cultures past and present, makes this study a unique and distinctly important social science.  Anthropological analyses rest heavily upon the concept of culture. Sir Edward Tylor’s formulation of the concept of culture was one of the great intellectual achievements of 19th century science. 4) Tylor defined culture as “… that complex whole which includes belief, art, morals, law, custom, and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society.”This insight, so profound in its simplicity, opened up an entirely new way of perceiving and understanding human life. Implicit within Tylor’s definition is the concept that culture is learned, shared, and patterned behavior.  5) Thus, the anthropological concept of “culture,” like the concept of “set” in mathematics, is an abstract concept which makes possible immense amounts of concrete research and understanding.正确答案:(1)【答案】而且,人类还有能力改变自己的生存环境,从而是让所有其它形态的生命服从人类自己独特的思想和想象。 【解析】这句话中包含一个小的定语从句,可以直接作为定语修饰中心词。句子主语是humans,谓语部分为have the ability to modify the environment in which they live,其中in which they live是定语从句,修饰environment。thus subjecting all other life forms to their own peculiar ideas and fancies是现在分词结构作状语。furthermore此外、而且,起到顺承上文的作用。subject …to …,使…服从于…。(2)【答案】社会科学是知识探索的一个分支,它像自然科学家研究自然现象那样,力图用理性的、有序的、系统的和冷静的方式研究人类及其行为。 【解析】本句的定语从句结构比较复杂,包括两个定语从句,其中一个定语从句嵌套在另一个定语从句当中,翻译时需要进行拆分。branch的意思为“分支”。其中the same…that表示与…相同,可以译为就像…那样。seek to do…追求,争取。(3)【答案】强调收集第一手资料,加上在分析过去和现在文化形态时采用跨文化视角,使得这一研究成为一门独特并且非常重要的社会科学。 【解析】这句话的一个显著特点就是主语很长,并且结构复杂,因此在翻译的时候要注意主语的断句,其实是两个并列的结构用combined with来连接。the emphasis on对……强调,对……重视。past and present过去与现在。cross-cultural perspective跨文化视角。(4)【答案】泰勒把文化定义为“……一个复合整体,它包括人作为社会成员所获得的信仰、艺术、道德、法律、风俗以及其它能力和习惯”。 【解析】本句的主要结构是define…as…,把…定义为…。本句翻译的难点在于引用的部分,其中包括一个定语从句,翻译时可以将其拆分。在翻译修饰belief, art , morals, law, custom, and any other capabilities and habits时,要将其后的定语acquired by man as a member of society转化成汉语表达方式,即译成前置定语。 complex whole复合整体。(5)【答案】因此,人类学中“文化”概念就像数学中“集”的概念一样,是一个抽象概念,它使大量的具体研究和认识成为可能。 【解析】本句包含结构比较复杂的定语从句,翻译时需将其拆分。make sth. possible使…成为可能。immerse广大的,无边的。concrete具体的。解析:暂无解析
