21．Which of the following is TRUE about “mutton busting”?
A．It is a dirty and terrible game. B．Only strong adults can ride a sheep.
A
Growing up in Arizona's rodeo (竞技) country, I was familiar with the events that come with traveling
rodeos: bull riding, dressing and mutton busting. Mutton busting is like bull riding, but instead of bulls, they
use sheep. And in place of the men, it’s children between six and ten years old who try to hang on for eight
seconds.
It took me all of five minutes to say yes to the idea of riding a sheep. Being seven years old, my
decision-making ability was pretty limited. I figured I could ride a sheep as well as the next kid. Little did I
know that I was in for a world of pain and embarrassment.
My nerves were shaking the day of the rodeo. I hated being in front of crowds. I didn’t like getting
dirty; I didn’t even like sheep, which I thought of as just dirty and smelly. Yet there I was, getting ready to
ride one for eight seconds in front of hundreds of people. I wanted to run out of the field and hide in the hot
car until it was over. But by the time this idea occurred to me, it was too late. I was lifted away from my
mother by a rodeo trainer and placed onto a platform.
My feet went into the narrow pen (羊圈) first. I felt my shoes touch the dirty floor of the pen. Once I
was balanced on the top of the sheep, the trainer let go and told me to lean forward. I did as he said. I
could feel the animal’s heart beating faster than mine. I realized that the poor sheep was even more
frightened than I was.
Then the gate opened, and I quickly discovered that my hold was too weak. Within three seconds I
had fallen off the sheep, and found myself face-down on the sun-baked earth. The sheep thought this was its
time to take revenge (复仇), and attacked me from behind. There I lay, hat down, covered in dirt, with
tears streaming down my face. I looked behind me to see my mother running to comfort me. “Stand up
and show them you’re okay,” she told me as she wiped the dirty tears from my face. I stood up, dirty and
upset, waved my little hand, and walked out with my mother.
Sadly, I didn’t win anything, not even the respect of these rodeo animals. I did find a new admiration
for those little balls of wool, though.
C．It is intended to pick the fastest sheep. D．It's a game for 6-to-10-year-old children.
22．The author decided to take part in the competition because .
A．it was part of growing up B．he thought he could do well
C．mother made him do so D．he found it very interesting
23．What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?
A．Why the author lost the competition. B．Why a mother should comfort her child. C．How
the author failed in the sheep riding. D．How the sheep hurt the author when it attacked.
24．We learn from the article that .
A．sheep riding is as difficult as bull riding
B．sheep riding is not popular because the pen is very dirty C．
the author wanted to give up before the competition D．the
author kept trying until he succeeded in riding a sheep
B
More than 30 million people were displaced last year by environmental and weather-related disasters
across Asia, and the problem is likely to grow more serious as climate change exacerbates such problems,
experts have warned.
Tens of millions of people are likely to be similarly displaced in the future by the effects of climate
change, including rising sea levels, floods, droughts and reduced agricultural productivity. Such people are
likely to migrate in regions across Asia and governments must start to prepare for the problems this will
create, warned the Asian Development Bank.
The costs will be high — about US $ 40 billion — for adapting and putting in place protective
measures — from sea walls to re-growing mangrove swamps (红树林沼泽) that have been cut down —
that can help protect against the impacts of storm tides.
While large-scale climate-related migration is a gradual phenomenon, communities in Asia and the
Pacific are already experiencing the consequences of changing environmental conditions, including more第 3 页
frequent severe storms and flooding,” the bank said last week. This could lead to a widespread crisis
across the region in coming years if preparations are not made to deal with the current and probable future
consequence.
Robert Dobias, climate change project chief at the Asian Development Bank, said that, at present,
climate change is still a relatively small cause of migration, as economic causes are the most worrying and
frightening, and as environmental disasters happen independently of global warning.
The Asian Development Bank warned that governments must start to make preparations now,
because more extreme weather has already started to take effect, though the changes so far have not been so
great in their impact. The bank is working on a report that will set out in detail the likely problems and
suggest a range of potential policy changes to help deal with them.
25．Which of the following is closest in the meaning to the underlined word “exacerbates”?
A．Solves. B．Prevents. C．Worsens. D．Reduces.
26．Which question is answered in the passage?
A．Why climate change happens.
B．What preparations will be made as protective measures.
C．How local governments help people to migrate after climate change.
D．In which part of the globe climate-related migration is most likely to happen.
27．The Asian Development Bank helps deal with the migration problem by .
A．working on a report B．changing its migration policy C．
starting a climate change project D．lending money to the governments
C (高考题)
If you were bringing friends home to visit, you could show them the way. You know the
landmarks—a big red house or a bus-stop sign. But what if you were swimming in the middle of the
Atlantic Ocean? Could you still find your way home? A loggerhead turtle（海 龟）could.
According to Dr. Ken Lohmann, loggerheads have a magnetic（磁力的）sense based on Earth’s
magnetic field. It helps them locate the best spots for finding food and their home beaches.
Scientists already know that several other animals, such as whales and honeybees, can detect（探测
到）magnetic fields. The difference between them and loggerheads, however, is the way they learn to use
their magnetic sense. Young whales and honeybees can learn from adults. Loggerheads are abandoned as
eggs.
As newborn loggerheads have no adults to learn from, what helps them figure out how to use their
magnetic sense? Lohmann thinks one of the cues was light on the sea.
Baby loggerheads hatch only at night. However, a small amount of light reflects off the ocean. The
light makes that region brighter. Heading toward the light helps them get quickly out to sea, where they
can find food. Lohmann tested whether newborn loggerheads use this light source to set their magnetic
“compasses”（罗盘）. He and his team put some newborns in a water tank and recorded which way they
swam. Around the tank, the scientists created a magnetic field that matched the Earth’s. They set a weak
light to the east of the magnetic field. Then they let the newborns go.
At first, the newborns swam toward the light. After the scientists turned off the light, the turtles that
had seen the light in the east always swam toward east. When the researchers reversed（颠倒）the
magnetic field, these turtles turned around and swam toward the new “east”.
This and the follow-up experiments all showed that loggerheads use light from the outside world to
set their magnetic “compasses” and then remember the “correct” direction. If a turtle hatches on a
brightly-lit beach, that would damage its magnetic sense forever and make survival hard for the turtle.
Lohmann’s work has led others to protect the habitat of this endangered species. Yet many
questions about these creatures remain unanswered, and researchers have a lot to study.
28．What is needed for newborn loggerheads to set their magnetic sense?
A．Weak light reflected off the ocean. B．Help from adult loggerheads. C
．Bright sunlight from the sky. D．Food in warmer waters.
29．In the experiment, after the newborns’ magnetic sense was set, their moving direction was determined
by .
A．the light B．the magnetic field
C．other unknown factors D．the light and the magnetic field第 4 页
30．What is the significance of Lohmann’s research work?
A．It enables researchers to keep track of turtles. B．It
contributes to the studies of the magnetic field. C．It
offers a new solution to environmental pollution.
D．It helps protect the loggerheads’ living environment.
31．What could be the best title of the passage?
A．Experiments on Loggerheads B．The Survival of the Sea Turtle
C．The Loggerhead’s Built-in “Compass” D．Comparison of Loggerheads and Other Animals
D (高考题)
Most people aren’t good at creative problem solving for two reasons: (1) They are not trained in
how to be creative. (2) They don’t understand group strength well enough to harness（驾驭）their power to
maximize group creativity.
A key element of creativity is applying existing knowledge to a new problem. The more people
getting involved in solving it, the more knowledge there is to work on it. Unfortunately, research shows
that the traditional brainstorming methods fail to achieve that goal. When groups get together to exchange
ideas, they actually come up with fewer ideas overall than if they each had worked alone.
To fix this problem, you should consider the two stages of group problem-solving: divergence（分
散）and convergence（集中）. Divergence happens when the group considers as many different potential
solutions as possible. Convergence happens when the various proposed solutions are evaluated and
reduced to a smaller set of candidate solutions to the current problem.
The essential principle of group creativity is that individuals working alone diverge, whereas group
members working together converge. In groups, once a member states a potential solution, that makes
others think about the problem similarly. That is why groups working together diverge less than
individuals working alone.
Therefore, be aware of when to diverge and when to converge. For example, early in the
problem-solving process, have group members work alone to write down statements describing the
problem. Then get them back to discuss their descriptions. The group discussion will lead everyone to
accept one or a small number of these statements to work on—this is healthy convergence.
When starting to generate solutions, you again want divergence. Have people work alone to start.
Then collect people’s initial ideas and send them around to others and allow the divergence to continue as
everyone individually builds on the ideas of other members.
Finally, let the group discuss the resulting ideas. This discussion will gradually lead the group to
converge on a small number of candidate solutions.
This simple method works effectively, because it respects what individuals and groups do best.
32．According to Para. 4, when a member presents an idea, others tend to_ .
A．think the other way round B．follow his way of thinking
C．be more confident in their own ideas D．be less willing to share their own ideas 33
．What should group members first do early in the problem-solving process?
A．Discuss the problem. B．Simplify the problem.
C．Put down group statements together. D．Write down their individual descriptions.
34．How can each group member make changes to his initial solution?
A．By adding in collected evidence. B．By reorganizing his own words. C
．By drawing on others’ ideas. D．By making his statement briefer.
35．What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A．To advocate a way to make group thinking more effective. B．To
demonstrate the difficulty in organizing group thinking.
C．To highlight the differences between divergence and convergence. D．To
show the advantage of group thinking over individual thinking.

Putting children in daycare helps working parents take their minds off childcare. 36 How
daycare negatively affects children is related to many factors. One study has suggested that
some children who spend long hours in daycare centers experience more stress than those who spend more
time in a setting with a mother.第 5 页
Another study has shown that children who are shy have a higher level of the hormone cortisol (皮质 醇
) which is released when an individual shows signs of stress. 37 .And as a result the child may not mix
well with the other children and the teachers at the daycare center, a situation that can cause stress.
Another negative impact of daycare is that there is less communication between a mother and her
child. 38 So it is essential for a child to develop a deep bond with his or her mother, since this
will lay the foundation for all the relationships he or she will form later on in life. Children who spend a lot
of time with their mothers experience healthy social and emotional development, while long hours in
daycare can disrupt this bonding. Children who lose out on precious mother-child bonding are observed to
have behavioral problems as they grow older.
Children in daycare centers also feel unprotected compared to children at home. In a daycare center,
when one caregiver attends to more than one child at the same time, she may not be able to look deeply
into why a child is mixing well or not. 39 . Another negative aspect of daycare is that children there
are more likely to fall ill if they come in contact with sick children
40 . Well-maintained daycare centers contribute a great deal to the overall development of a child by
providing a structured environment. Children become more social by interacting with other children of the
same age, and learn new activities that are not always available if they are brought up only at home.
A．But daycare has its disadvantages.
B．Look for a daycare center that is well-maintained. C．
However, the advantages of daycare cannot be ignored. D．This is
because a shy child will not open up freely in public
E. Babies become extremely attached to their primary caregivers.
F. In such cases, a child may become either completely quiet or aggressive.
G.You can cut the time in daycare centers by making alternative childcare arrangements.

No one is born a winner. People make themselves into winners by their own 61 .
I learned this lesson from a(n) 62 many years ago. I took the head 63 job at
a school in Baxley, Georgia. It was a small school with a weak football program.
It was a tradition for the school's old team to play against the 64 team at the end of spring practice.
The old team had no coach, and they didn't even practice to 65 the game. Being the coach of the
new team, I was excited because I knew we were going to win, but to my disappointment we were defeated.
I couldn't 66 I had got into such a situation. Thinking hard about it, I came to 67 that my
team might not be the number one team in Georgia, but they were 68 me. I had to change my
69 about their ability and potential.
I started doing anything I could to help them build a little 70 . Most important, I began to treat
them like 71 .That summer, When the other teams enjoyed their 72 , we met every
day and
73 passing and kicking the football.第 8 页
Six months after suffering our 74 on the spring practice field, we won our first game and our
second, and continued to 75 .Finally, we faced the number one team in the state. I felt that it
would be a 76 for us even if we lost the game. But that wasn't what happened. My boys beat the
best team in
Georgia, giving me one of the greatest 77 of my life！
From the experience I learnt a lot about how the attitude of the leader can 78 the members of a
team. Instead of seeing my boys as losers, I pushed and 79 them. I helped them to see
themselves 80 ,and they built themselves into winners.

M: Ella, I was on my way to the canteen to get something for lunch. Why don't we go together? W:
I'm busy on my work report. Could you bring something back for me?
M: Sure. What would you like? Pizza, sandwich, hot dog, fried rice. They do everything... W:
Oh, something easy. Take-away fried rice sounds good.
M: OK, fried ... And I'll have a tomato sandwich. W:
Well, here's five dollars.
M: Oh, take two dollars back; it shouldn't cost more than three dollars. W:
Well, keep the five and we'll sort it out later.
M: OK. Back in a minute.

W: Do you like traveling, Mike?
M: Yes, I do. I've made several trips to different countries this year.
W: Wow! That's amazing! Where did you go?
M: In February, I went to Egypt with my father and we visited the Great Pyramid. It was wonderful! In
May, my cousin and I traveled to Zimbabwe to visit Victoria Falls. Then three months later I went to the
UK and saw the Giant's Causeway. In November I flew to the USA with my friend and we spent several
days in the Grand Canyon.
W: That's great! I wish I could travel a bit someday. Text

W: Hi, Tom. Nice to see you.
M: And you too. So, are we going to finalize what we're doing for the Environmental Science presentation
today?
W: I hope so. When is the presentation?
M: On July 17, in the morning. So we still have ten days to get ready.
W: So I think we need to take out some of the information we're including.
M: Yes. Mr. Jones advised us to focus on three forms of non-traditional energy. We can talk about solar
and biofuels . And what about the third energy source?
W: I was having difficulty choosing between nuclear and wind. M:
But doing nuclear is more problematic for us.
W: OK. I'm with you on that.
M: Then I'd like to suggest taking out the background details.
W: I don't think so. We should put the statistics on a handout. Without the statistics, we don't see how we
can support our main ideas.
M: Actually, you're right, Shirley. In that case, can we delete the diagrams? It's going to take too much
time to explain them.
W: OK.

M: Today, our guest is Rachel Reed who works for a small commercial art gallery. Rachel, welcome. W:
Hello.
M: Rachel, tell us about your day.
W: Well, it all starts with the huge pile of post we get. We often get artists sending in photographs of their
work to see if we'd be interested in exhibiting them.
M: So you have quite a lot of contact with artists?
W: Yes. I send letters explaining why we can't show their work - I find those calls very hard to deal with.
Artists we do exhibit also phone to find out if we've managed to sell anything and, if we have, when the
money will be coming through.
M: And are you involved in other aspects of the business?
W: Yes. The company also offers a consultancy service for large companies that want to display works of
art in their offices. I phone round companies, explain what we do and, if they're interested, make an
appointment for the gallery manager to go and see them.
M: And the best part of the job for you?
W: I really don't know what we're going to have to cope with. I like working with nice people. The really
rewarding thing for me is that I have the pleasure of spending my days surrounded by beautiful works of
art.
M: Thank you Rachel! You did a good job as a marketing manager. Text

Now, not only do we have lots of historical architecture here in the town of Tanbridge, we also
have a rich variety of famous residents. Of course, everyone has heard of the famous writers James
Harman, Anna Collins and Ian Cheriton.
James Harman lived here between 1975 and 1990. A bestselling horror writer, he got many of
his themes for his novels from this town. He passed away a year after leaving Tanbridge and he wasn't
buried in the town.
Anna Collins is a romantic novelist. She lived by the town square. She died in 1968 and you can see
her gravestone in Tanbridge Cemetery. Most people know Anna from her most famous work, The Pride of
Angels, which won numerous awards.
Now, Ian Cheriton is not only a poet, he has also written ten novels that have topped the book sales
charts. He always does a lot of work for local charities.
Lastly, another famous resident of Tanbridge is Sylvia Daniels. She grew up in Tanbridge. Now I am
sure you all know her for her latest film Planet Dust. But she wasn't always an actress. Before she headed
for Hollywood, you could have seen her waiting tables in the Dorage Restaurant here in the town! She
often comes back to visit her family. If you're lucky, you may even catch a glimpse of her.第 2 页
