Inside the Rain Room
The Rain Room has arrived and local art lovers are taking notice. Is it worth the wait? Yes, I assure you it is. Once inside, visitors find a long, dark room with a high ceiling. A single bright light
shines through heavy rain falling around visitors. The mist. The damp air. The noise. It feels like a mighty storm is pouring down. But the storm is inside. And visitors aren’t getting wet. Instead, visitors wander in awe, admiring the rain and the artists who created it.
The Rain Room was created to highlight the connection between humans, nature and technology. With a tracking system that senses movement and stops the rain wherever visitors move, it does just that. Light and sound produce an experience that feels both natural and foreign. The exhibit is moving on to Atlanta next month. I urge you to visit before then. It’s time to experience the Rain Room for yourself!
Welcome to the Rain Room
l The Rain Room features falling water. Please be aware you may get slightly wet. However, visitors wearing raincoats will be turned away.
l This exhibit features advanced technology. To ensure its effectiveness, please avoid wearing dark or reflective clothing.
l Visitors are welcome to take photographs of the exhibit.
l Children must be accompanied by an adult.
l For the convenience of all guests, visits are limited to 10 minutes.
Welcome to the Rain Room
51. What’s the purpose of the text?
A.To promote the artists taking part in the exhibit.
B. To explain how an exhibit has been created.
C. To describe the technology used in the exhibit.
D. To attract visitors to a new art exhibit.
52. What’s the function of the exhibit’s tracking system?
A. To time how long visitors are in the room.
B. To protect the exhibit from water damage.
C. To keep visitors from getting wet.

Career success could be predicted as early as kindergarten, according to a 20-year study recently published in the American Journal of Public Health.
Researchers from Pennsylvania State University and Duke University tracked more than 700 children from across the US between kindergarten and age 25 and found a significant correlation（相关性） between their social skills as kindergartners and their success as adults two decades later.
In 1991, teachers assessed how the kindergartners interacted with each other socially using a range of criteria like whether they cooperate with their peers without prompting（激励）, if they're helpful to others, whether they're good at understanding feelings, and if they can solve problems on their own.
Researchers then kept track of whether the students went on to graduate high school on time, get a college degree, and find and keep a full-time job by 25. They also monitored the participants' involvement with crime, drug abuse, public assistance, and mental health issues.
The results showed that socially competent children were far more likely to earn a college degree and have a full-time job by 25 than those with limited social skills. Those with limited social skills also had a higher chance of getting arrested, binge（放纵） drinking, and applying for public housing.
“This study shows that helping children develop social and emotional skills is one of the most important things we can do to prepare them for a healthy future," said Kristin Schubert, program director at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which funded the research, in a release.“From an early age, these skills can determine whether a child goes to college or prison, and whether they end up employed or addicted." The good news, according to Damon Jones, lead author of the study, is that intervention（干预）at a young age can help improve social and emotional skills. “This research by itself doesn't prove that higher social competence can lead to better outcomes later on," he said. “But when combined with other research, it is clear that helping children develop these skills increases their chances of success in school, work, and life."
54. Paragraph 3 and 4 are mainly about？
A.how the researchers conducted the study.
B. how long it took to complete the study.
C. when the researchers began their study.
D. what factors were studied by the experts.
55.What should parents do to help their children to succeed according to Kristin Schubert?
A.Tell them to keep off alcohol. B. Teach them some basic living skills.
C.Teach them how to cooperate with others.D. Coach them in their lessons.
56. The text makes very good sense to ____________.
A. teenagers B. educators C. doctors D. general readers
C
Top branded perfumes come in tiny bottles, but many hide a whale sized secret.
To perfect a particular smell, perfume makers often use an ingredient that comes from sperm whales (抹香鲸), called ambergris. But using ambergris, which helps a perfume last longer, is strongly opposed by many people who think it is wrong to kill whales just so we can smell sweet. Joerg Bohlmann is neither a perfumer nor a whale expert. He's a plant biologist at the University of British Columbia in Canada. But his discovery of a new plant gene might push whales out of the perfume business.
The gene comes from fir trees, found throughout North America and commonly used as Christmas trees. The trees produce a chemical that can be used in perfume in place of ambergris—but with a catch.
“There's a problem that many people wouldn't consider. In the tree, the chemical is mixed with many others. That makes separation a challenge” Bohlmann says. “It's like trying to isolate sugar from a biscuit.”
This is where science becomes useful. When Bohlmann learned that fir trees produce the ambergris -like chemical, he decided to use his gene know -how to find the instructions for how to make the ambergris substitute.
Bohlmann found that gene and took it out of the tree cells. Then he did something that might sound strange to someone who doesn't work in genetics: Bohlmann put the gene from the tree into yeast (酵母) cells.
Yeast may sound familiar because it's used to make things like bread, wine and beer. Biologists
like to work with yeast because it easily adopts new genes and changes its features and behavior. When Bohlmann put the fir tree gene into the yeast, the yeast started making the same chemical that had been produced by the tree.
Perfumers pay big money for ambergris because it is a fixative, which means it holds a smell in place on a person's body.
“Cheap perfumes smell good in the first hour or so and then everything is gone,” explains Bohlmann. “But expensive perfumes are much more stable. Their smell lasts much longer, for hours or even a day after you apply them.”
The new chemical, made from the tree genes, can be used as a fixative, too. And using yeast to make it is far cheaper than acquiring ambergris.
Bohlmann admits he never thought he'd get into the perfume business. But now, he says, producers have been calling to find out how to use his technology in new perfumes.
57. It can be inferred from the passage that if a perfume contains ambergris, ________.
A. it is probably very expensive B. its smell will last for about an hour
C. there will be a whale symbol on the bottle D. its user probably supports whale hunting
58. The underlined expression “with a catch” in Paragraph 3 means ________.
A. being difficult to hold B. being too similar
C. needing further testing D. having a hidden problem
59. According to the passage, why are yeast cells often used in genetic research?
A. They share some of the qualities of plant genes.
B. They can take on the characteristics of other genes.
C. They can reproduce much faster than other cells.
D. They're much cheaper to use than ambergris.
60. What is the best title for the passage?
A. The Christmas tree's secret. B. The sweet smell of success.
C. Whale free perfume. D. Save the whale.
D
A homeless man is fast becoming an Internet sensation（引起轰动的人）with his video blog of life on the street of Moscow, it’s reported.

第Ⅱ卷（非选择题两部分共40分）

A young person is said to have a behavior disorder when his or her behavior is noticeably different from that expected in the school or community. This can also be stated in simpler terms as a child who is not doing what adults want him to do at a particular time. Children with this disorder often seem to be behaving in different and socially unacceptable ways.
Like learning disabilities, behavior disorders are hard to diagnose（诊断）. There are no physical symptoms（症状） in the body that are observable or measurable. Behavior disorders are therefore identified by observing behavior patterns in the child over a period of time. If a child shows some of the following behaviors, he may be labeled with a behavior disorder:
◆ Aggression（好斗性）and cruelty to people and animals.
◆ Destruction of property — defacing or damaging things.
◆ Little sympathy and concern for others.
◆ Takes no responsibility for behavior. Also lies, cheats and steals easily.
◆ Disregards(漠视) rules and regulations.
In addition to these general symptoms of a behavior disorder, there are other symptoms characteristic of more specific behavior disorders such as ADHD — this is the inattentive, can’t-sit-still behavior. The attention can’t last long and the behavior is impulsive at times. The child also seems quite distracted and forgetful.
Behavior disorders come from brain injury, child abuse, and shock, etc. There have also been indications that it could be a genetic disorder. The behavior therefore is an involuntary response to these experiences and the child should not be blamed for his behavior. Since the child has problems
controlling his behavior, it stands to reason that his performance in school will be affected. A child with a behavior disorder will feel bad about himself and that low self-esteem will be further worsened by the adults round him who do not treat his condition with understanding and willingness to help.
Behavior disorders are best dealt with by behavior and psychological treatments. But, as with disabilities, accurate diagnosis is important and this must be over a length of time. It is also important in trying to modify（改进） the behavior to be clear about what is the behavior you are expecting. Make sure it is a rational expectation. For example, expecting a three-year-old to sit quietly through a long church service may not be reasonable, or demanding that a six-year-old should do extra home work after a long day of school and extra curricular activities may be stretching the child’s concentration and attention too far. Since some behavior disorders result from shocking and upsetting life experiences or brain injury, treatments should include helping the child to resolve（解决） and heal emotionally from the experience. The behavior could be corrected through emotional healing. In other words, when a human being is emotionally healthy, that is, can be aware of his intelligence and enthusiasm for life and his loving connectedness to other human beings, he automatically “behaves” rationally.

Possible Version
As is shown from the picture, this serious situation results from many aspects. Vehicles exhaust is the first to blame, which makes up half of the total exhaust. Industrial exhaust is another cause. It accounts for 38%. Besides, gas emission from residents is only 8% and 4% from power station. These four kinds of exhaust lead to fog and haze happening more and more.
People are suffering a lot from it. Many people now have problems with breathing due to the polluted air, and some even have lung cancer. What’s worse, terrible traffic accidents are more likely to happen in such bad weather.
In view of the seriousness of this problem, things must be done to deal with the situation. First, stricter laws should be made to prevent atmosphere from being polluted. What’s more, the number of cars, which is on the top of the list, should be banned from increasing. Finally, people’s awareness of protecting the environment should be raised and every one of us should do his part to change the situation for the better. To conclude, the key to solving this problem is strict laws as well as education.
