Culture can affect not just language and customs, but also how people experience the world on surprisingly basic levels.
Researchers, with the help of brain scans, have ______ shocking differences in perception between Westerners and Asians, what they see when they look at a city street, for example, or even how they are _____ of a simple line in a square, according to findings published in a(n) _____ science journal.
In Western countries, culture makes people think of themselves as highly ______ entities. When looking at scenes, Westerners tend to focus more on central objects than on their surroundings. East Asian cultures, however, ________ inter-dependence, When Easterners look at a scene, they tend to focus on the surroundings as well as the object.
Using an experiment ________ two tasks, Dr. Hedden asked subjects to look at a line simply to estimate its length, a task that played to American’s _______. In another, they estimated the line’s length relative to the size of a square, an easier task for the Asian.
The level of brain activity, by ______ blood flow, was then measured by Brain Scanners. The experiment found that although there was no difference in performance, and the tasks were very easy, the levels of activity in the subjects’ brain were ______. For the Americans, areas ______ to attention were more favorable to them, when they worked on the task they tended to find more difficult --- estimating the line’s size relative to the square. The findings are a ______ of more than ten years of previous experimental research into East-West differences.
In one study, for instance researchers ______ people a choice among five pens; four red and one green. Easterners were more likely to choose a red pen, and Westerners were more likely to choose the green one.
Culture does not only make a(n) ______ on how you see the world, but how you choose to understand and internalize it. But such habits can be changed. Some psychological studies suggest that when an Easterner goes to the West or vice versa, habits of thought and perception also begin to change. Such research gives us ______ to how our brain works and holds new promises for us to develop programs to improve our memory techniques and __________ our learning skills.

I give two examples as to why intelligent life may not actually exist, though I admit that for me, or even for a physicist who devoted his or her entire life to researching and studying the universe, it's shocking to claim that completely no life exists elsewhere.
Keeping that in mind, I'd just like to consider conditions elsewhere in the known universe. You really only need to look at our own solar system or the Earth at certain periods in its own history to appreciate that most places are much worse and much less suitable for life than our mild, watery globe.
So far, space scientists have discovered about seventy planets outside the solar. But it appears that if you wish to have a planet suitable for life, you just have to be very lucky, and the more advanced the life is, the luckier you'll have to be. I'm by no means a space observer, but I can recognize some particularly fortunate breaks we've had on the Earth. For example:
We are, to a degree, at the right distance from the perfect type of star, the one that is big enough to radiate a huge amount of energy, but not so big as to bum itself out quickly. Had our sun been ten times as huge, it would have burnt out completely after only ten million years, instead of ten billion and surely we would not exist. Too near, everything on the Earth would have boiled and withered away; any further, everything would have frozen over.
The universe is a surprising place, and our existence within it is a wonder. If a long and unimaginably complex sequence of events dating back 4.6 billion years or so hadn't happened in a particular manner at a particular time --if, to take just one example, the dinosaurs hadn't been wiped out by a meteor(流星)--we might still be a few centimeters long, with whisker(胡須) and a tail, and you'll be reading this in a cave somewhere.
小題1:What's the best title for this passage?
A．No Life Exists out of the Earth
B．Seventy Planets Discovered
C．A Place Full of Wonders
D．Perfect Conditions for Life
小題2:What makes the Earth more suitable for life than other planets in the solar system?
A．The Earth is the only planet that can receive energy from the sun.
B．The sun is at the right distance from us and in proper size.
C．The distance between the planets was neither too long nor too near.
D．The dinosaurs were no longer a threat to the Earth.
小題3:What does the underlined phrase "withered away" in the 4th paragraph mean?
A．Exploded.B．Expanded.C．Floated away.D．Dried and died.
小題4:Where does the text probably come from?
A．A history book.B．A magazine.C．A science fiction.D．A famous novel.

Shopping green can make an important contribution to protecting the planet and conserving its resources.
Today’s consumer faces a wider range of choices than ever before, Add to that the steady stream of sales campaigns, and shopping smart only gets harder. To buy economically and reduce waste, safeguard health and protect the environment, you’ll need to follow some basic principles and have a clear idea of what you want.
1. Do Your Homework
Before making any major purchase, take the time to research it. Plentiful resources are usually available online. Avoid buying in a hurry, and don’t be persuaded by overenthusiastic salespeople. Sleep on it if necessary—you won’t regret giving yourself some extra time to think.
2. Take the Long View
Consider the running costs as well as the initial price of any item you buy. Many environmentally friendly products cost more to buy, but save you money in the long run. Choose items that are made to last. For example, pick a sofa that has a hardwood or steel frame rather than one made of softwood, which may break easily.
3. Skip the Disposable Option
Buy reusable products like washable cloth towels, handkerchiefs, serviettes（餐巾）and cleaning cloths rather than paper, single-use varieties. Avoid other disposable supplies like cups, glasses, and chopsticks, too.
4. Take the Local Route
Buy local products that are in season. It’s usually cheaper and fresher and has less harm to the environment. Markets and roadside stands are good sources. Some supermarkets also buy from local producers. Support it if you have one.
5. Avoid Wasteful Packaging
Better not buy products that have too much packaging. It’s estimated that approximately 10 percent of every shopping bill is actually paying for packaging—which you normally just throw away! Moreover, significant amounts of energy are used in the production of packaging. Purchasing refillable and renewable containers can also help cut this kind of waste.
小題1:What could be the best title for this passage?
A．Protection of the Planet
B．Green Shopping Principles
C．Environmentally Friendly Products
D．Resource Conservation
小題2:The underlined phrase “sleep on it” has the similar meaning with      .
A．think it overB．forget about it
C．set it asideD．put it into action
小題3:Why does the author advise us to buy lasting products?
A．Because they are less expensive to buy.
B．Because they save money in the long run.
C．Because they will never break.
D．Because they are local products.
小題4:Which of the following can be considered green shopping?
A．Following the stream of sales campaigns.
B．Buying disposable chopsticks.
C．Focusing on packaging.
D．Purchasing from local markets.

The ozone layer(臭氧層) is a thin layer of gas around the earth. It forms a special “blanket” around the planet. This “blanket” protects the earth from dangerous rays produced by the sun. Without the ozone layer, the earth’s climate could warm to dangerous levels. This increase in temperature would threaten our survival. Scientists recently have discovered a hole in the ozone layer above the Antarctica. Now there is great concern that this warning has started, endangering all life on the earth.
What has destroyed part of the ozone layer? Scientists do not know for sure. They suspect that our popular spray cans (噴漆罐) have played a part in the damage. Many spray cans contain dangerous gases. These gases might have destroyed the ozone layer fifteen miles above the earth’s surface, The chemicals used in refrigerators (冰箱) and air conditioners may contribute to the problem, too.
Many scientists believe that the destruction of the ozone layer is a serious problem for people everywhere. Global warming could change weather patterns around the world. Farmers and ranchers(牧場主) could find it more and more difficult to produce enough food for the earth’s people. If more of the sun’s dangerous rays reached the earth, there also could be an increase in skin cancers. Some skin cancers might cause people to die. Although some scientists do not believe there is a serious danger, obviously no one wants to take any chance on such a possibility.
Can scientists repair the hole in the ozone layer? They really don’t know the answer to that question. Can people do anything to save the ozone layer that the earth still has? Scientists stress the need to limit the use of spray cans and other items that contain the dangerous gases. This will not be an easy task. People all over the world use these items. Solving the problem certainly will require commitment and cooperation from everyone.
小題1:The ozone layer exists to _____.
A．warm the earth to a proper level for life
B．protect the earth from dangerous sun rays
C．make all life on the earth in a dangerous situation
D．prevent human beings from being harmed from the earth
小題2:Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Scientists aren’t sure what has destroyed part of the ozone layer.
B．Scientists recently have discovered a hole in the Antarctica.
C．Scientists prove that spray cans have destroyed part of the ozone layer.
D．Global warming doesn’t affect weather patterns around the world.
小題3: The following may do harm to the ozone layer EXCEPT ______.
A．spray cansB．refrigeratorsC．ranchersD．a(chǎn)ir conditioners
小題4: Saving the ozone layer needs everyone’s effort because _____.
A．scientists are badly in need of others’ help
B．items containing dangerous gases should be forbidden
C．scientists can’t afford so much money to take measures
D．people all over the world use items containing dangerous gases

What do college teachers think of high school English teachers’English teaching? And how should we see it? Let’s read the following.
A teacher from a community college addressed a sympathetic audience. Heads nodded in agreement when he said, “High school English teachers are not doing their jobs.” He described how weak his students were—all high school graduates who can use language only at a Grade 9 level.
My topic is not standards nor its decline（降低）. What the speaker was really saying is that he is no longer young; he has been teaching for sixteen years, and is able to think and speak like a mature adult.
My point is that the frequent complaint of one generation about the one immediately following is natural. It is also human nature to look for the reasons for our dissatisfaction. Before English became a school subject in the late nineteenth century, it was difficult to find the target of the blame for language deficiencies（缺陷）. But since then, English teachers have been under constant attack.
The complainers think they have hit upon an original idea. As their own command of the language improves, they notice that young people do not have this same ability. Unaware that their own ability has developed through the years, they assume the new generation of young people must be hopeless in this respect. To the eyes and ears of sensitive adults, the language of the young always seems inadequate.
Since this concern about the decline and fall of the English language is not seen as a generational phenomenon but rather as something new and peculiar(特有的) to today’s young people, it naturally follows that today’s English teachers cannot be doing their jobs.
小題1:The speaker believed that ________.
A．he was an excellent language teacher because he had been teaching English for sixteen years
B．the younger generation was as likely as not worse at language than the older generation
C．high school English teachers should be responsible for their students’ poor command of English
D．The fact that the students didn’t work hard enough contributed to their poor command of English
小題2: In the author’s opinion, the speaker ________.
A．had exaggerated (夸大) the language problems of the students
B．was right in saying English teachers were not doing their jobs
C．gave a correct judgment of the English level of the students
D．thought and spoke in a wise and responsible way
小題3:What can we conclude from the passage?
A．Language learning and improving needs time and effort.
B．The author disagrees with the speaker over the standard of English at Grade 9 level.
C．It is reasonable to include English as one of the high school subjects.
D．The English language teaching is by no means an easy job for college teachers.
小題4:The author’s attitude towards the speaker’s remarks is ________.
A．neutral（中立的）B．critical
C．positiveD．compromising(妥協(xié)的)

Teaching a child to read at a young age gives him a valuable start in life. Reading is the basic part of education and a child’s reading ability will influence his school success greatly. Learning difficulties, many of which begin from poor reading skills, can damage a school child’s confidence and affect his future achievement. Young children are programmed to learn and they can learn better with encouragement. Ten to twenty minutes of reading a day still leaves plenty of time for play.
Many parents are concerned that learning to read is too challenging a task for a pre-school child, but they should also remember that most children learn to speak by the time they are 3. Learning a language is probably the single most challenging task any individual can undertake, yet children do it without formal instruction, achieving the fluency much better than adult language students.
There is a window of opportunity in terms of IQ development, which is most open during a child’s early years. A scientific study, carried out by Dr. Peter Huttenlocher at the University of Chicago, showed that the number of connectors, called synapses（神經(jīng)元突觸）, between the nerve endings in a newborn baby’s brain is similar to the number in the average adult brain. These synapses increase rapidly during early childhood. By 12-24 months a child’s brain has about 50% more synapses than the average adult brain. After that the synapses which are not in use begin to atrophy（衰退）. For most people, from age 16, the number remains steady. It begins to drop again as we move into our golden years. Doing intellectual activities at a young age, such as learning to read, can stimulate（刺激）and preserve these connectors in the brain resulting in a long-term beneficial（有益的）effect on IQ development.
Another notable study is probably the Milwaukee project. This study took a group of babies, all of whose mothers had low IQs, and gave them special training for seven hours a day, five days a week, until they started first grade. By the age of 6 these children had an average IQ 30 points higher than their contemporaries. The overwhelming conclusion is that the early intellectual stimulation can have a positive, long-term effect on a child’s brain development.
From birth you should talk to and explain things to your baby. Reading to him can be a wonderful way of spending quality time with your child. The enjoyment of books and being familiar with the idea of print will pave the way for（為……鋪平道路）learning to read later.
If your child is a fast learner you can help him realize his potential by introducing him to the joy of the printed word at an early age. This will lay the foundations（基礎(chǔ)）for both a high achieving school career and a lifelong love of reading. If your child shows early signs of reading difficulties, your efforts may help him get rid of such problems before he goes to school.
It can be difficult to teach your own child because emotional（引起情緒激動(dòng)的）issues arise easily. Online programs for learning to read English are excellent options. They allow children to repeat new materials as many times as they need to, without wearing out the parents’ patience.
小題1:What does the passage mainly discuss?
A．Children should be taught to read at an early age.
B．Children can read better than most adult students.
C．Children have more synapses than most adults.
D．Children are supposed to learn to read on the Internet.
小題2:Why does the author mention the study by Dr. Peter Hutten locher?
A．To remove parents’ worry.
B．To explain IQ development.
C．To explain how a baby’s brain works.
D．To show the parents’ wrong ideas.
小題3:How can children benefit from learning to read at a young age?
A．It can build up great confidence in their mind.
B．It can help preserve the connectors in their brains.
C．It can help produce more connectors in their brains.
D．It can help them find both their weaknesses and strengths.
小題4:At the end of this passage the author advises _______.
A．parents not to get angry too often
B．children to enjoy reading as early as possible
C．children not to wear out their parents’ patience
D．parents to get their children to take an online program

If the eyes are the romantic’s window into the soul, then the teeth are an anthropologist’s ( 人類學(xué)家 ) door to the stomach.
In a study published last month in the journal Science, Peter Ungar of the University of Arkansas and his partner, Matt Sponheimer of the University of Colorado, US, examined the teeth of our early human ancestors to find out what they were really eating.
They already knew that different foods cause different marks on teeth. Some cause scratches, while others cause pits (坑).The carbon left on teeth by different foods is also different. Tropical grasses, for example, leave one kind of carbon, but trees leave another kind because they photosynthesized ( 光合作用 ) differently.
Traditionally, scientists had looked at the size and shape of teeth and skulls ( 頭骨 ) to figure out what early humans ate. Big flat teeth were taken to be signs that they ate nuts and seeds, while hard and sharp teeth seemed good for cutting meat and leaves. But this was proven wrong.
The best example was the Paranthropus (傍人), one of our close cousins, some of which lived in eastern Africa. Scientists used to believe Paranthropus ate nuts and seeds because they had big crests(突起)on their skulls, suggesting they had large chewing muscles and big teeth. If this had been true, their teeth should have been covered with pits like the surface of the moon. They would also have had a particular type of carbon on their teeth that typically comes from tree products, such as nuts and seeds.
However, when the two scientists studied the Paranthroupus, it turned out to have none of these characteristics. The teeth had a different kind of carbon, and were covered with scratches, not pits. This suggests they probably ate grass, not nuts and fruit stones. It was the exact opposite of what people had expected to find.
Carbon “foodprints” give us a completely new and different insight into what different species ate and the different environments they lived in. If a certain species had the kind of carbon on its teeth that came from grasses, it probably lived in a tropical grassland, for example.
小題1:The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 probably means that _____.
A．a(chǎn)nthropologists can study the structure of human stomachs by studying their teeth.
B．a(chǎn)nthropologists can study the diet of early humans by studying their teeth
C．a(chǎn)nthropologists can learn whether humans were healthy by looking at their teeth
D．a(chǎn)nthropologists can get the most useful information about humans from their teeth
小題2:According to Paragraph 3 to 5, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．Scratches on teeth are caused by eating nuts or seeds.
B．Pits on teeth are caused by eating grass or leaves.
C．Early humans with hard and sharp teeth ate meat and leaves.
D．Different foods leave different marks and carbon on teeth.
小題3:The example of the Paranthropus was mentioned in the article in order to _____.
A．tell readers that they are one of our close cousins living in eastern Africa
B．tell readers they had different eating habits from modern humans
C．prove that size and shape of skulls does not show accurately what early humans ate
D．tell readers that living environment makes a difference to skull structure

Education has an important effect on the mind or physical ability of an individual. It is the process by which society passes its accumulated knowledge, skills, and values from one generation to another.
Various non-traditional education options are now available and continue to flourish（繁榮）. One of the most important uses in education is the use of technology. Teachers are encouraged to use new technological devices in order to strengthen learning among students and meet the needs of various types of learners.
The right to education has been created and recognized by jurisdiction（司法）. Education is the most important concern of the government of India. Recently India has gained world recognition because many students from foreign countries come here to gain higher qualifications.
One has to be educated in order to speed up the growth process in order to influence the economy. Education is indeed a powerful weapon to stop the cut- throat competition that man faces at every period of life. The importance of education in India is progressing with time. Although India has been a great foundation of learning for many years, it still needs to improve not just on the quality of education but also on the number of people being educated.
Education is not just for academic success but also to make a person become a better human being and a better performer in life. Education makes the students able enough, so that they can compete nationally and internationally. To make a student a successful survivor in life, the responsibility lies equally with the schools and the parents too. Selecting a good school is as important as choosing a suitable career option for a child. The goal of education is the advancement of knowledge and the dissemination of truth, it is education that gives us all the power and necessities of making a difference in any field.
People who are not educated have few opportunities to do what they want to do. Educated people become more responsible and informed citizens, and have a voice in politics and society. It allows people to be more productive by encouraging them to play responsible roles in terms of contributing to society.
小題1:Nowadays teachers are encouraged to ______.
A．study modern science and technology
B．pass all knowledge to their students
C．use non-traditional devices in class
D．meet the needs of intelligent student first
小題2:The author uses the example of Indian education to show that____.
A．Indian education is among the best in the world now
B．Indian is becoming more and more powerful now
C．the right to education should be valued all over the world
D．a(chǎn) lot of students in India are from other countries
小題3:The underlined word “dissemination” in Paragraph 5 probably means “______”.
A．spreadB．ignorance C．a(chǎn)rgumentD．question
小題4:What do we know about education from the passage?
A．It has nothing to do with society
B．It helps people to achieve what they want
C．It has little effect on people’s physical ability
