3．A recent study shows that boys and girls learn differently．So ma ybe we can maximize （最大化）learning by teaching them in single gender （性別） programs．
   First，boys and girls see differently．Boys interpret the world as objects moving through space．In their opinion，a good teacher should move around the room constantly and be that object．
   The male eye is usually drawn to cooler colors like silver，blue，black，grey，and brown．It's no accident boys tend to create pictures of moving objects like spaceships，cars，and trucks in dark colors instead of drawing a happy colorful family，like girls in their class．The fem ale eye，on the other hand，is drawn to textures（質(zhì)地） and colors．They tend to like warmer colors-red，yellow，orange，and visuals with more details，like faces．Girls work well in circles，faci ng each other．Using descriptive（描寫性的） phrases in presentations or lots of colors on the chalkboard can help get their attention．
  Boys and girls also hear differently．When someone speaks in a loud tone，girls interpret it as yelling．They think you're mad and should quiet down．Girls are more sensitive to sounds．Girls'teachers should notice the tone of their voices．Boys'teachers should sound matter of fact，even excited．
  Boys'nervous systems cause them to be more alert when they're standing，moving，and the room temperature is around 20℃．Stress in boys tends to increase blood flow to their brains，a process that helps them stay focused．This won't work for girls，who are more focused seated in a warmer room around 25℃．Girls also respond to stress differently．When exposed to a threat，blood goes to their guts（內(nèi)臟），leaving them feeling nervous or anxious．
33．According to the new study，in order to have more effects on the learning of children，we'd betterA．
A．care for girls as well as boys in a class   
B．hold single gender classes
C．make girls sit in front of a classroom   
D．teach in classes mixed with two genders
34．We learn from the passage thatC．
A．boys feel stressed in a very cold room
B．boys tend to feel nervous under stress
C．girls need a higher temperature than boys to stay focused
D．girls should do more sports to keep their brains active
35．Which is the best title for the passage？C
A．The Differences Between Boys and Girls
B．Male Teachers and Female Teachers
C．Boys and Girls Learn Differently
D．Physical Differences Between Boys and Girls．

11．Microwaves may be great at warming up food，but what about warming people？
Using microwaves to directly heat owners of a room would save much of the energy wasted by heating walls and furniture．And despite popular ideas about microwaves，this technique would be safe，according to Charles R．Burlier of the Microwave Research Center in Marlborough，New Hampshire．Low-power microwaves only penetrate （貫穿） the skin （low-power microwave penetration in a ham is about 0.2inches，for example） and with no negative effects．
To test this idea，Buffler subjected himself to microwaves in a special room using a standard 500-watt，2459MHz magnetron （磁控管）．He found that a person will start to feel warmth at about 20kilowatts per square centimeter （mw．/sq．cm．）； a satisfactory feeling of warmth occurs between 35and 50mw．/sq．cm．By comparison，a person standing in noonday summer sun feels the amount of 85mw．/sq．cm．And a frozen meat pie in your microwave oven receives about 1000mw．/sq．cm．
In houses of the future，each room could be provided with its own magnetron，says Buffler．When you stepped into the living room，for example，a motion detector （運動感應(yīng)器）would turn on the magnetron，filling the room with low-power microwaves．In the same way that a microwave oven heats up a hamburger，but not the plate it's on，you would feel warmth from the microwaves without changing the temperature of your coffee table．（You could，however，make your favorite easy chair even more comfortable by treating it with a radiation-absorbing chemical．）
While it might be some time before homeowners are comfortable enough with the idea to set up whole-body microwave heaters in houses，Buffler says microwaves may attract livestock（家畜） farmers．Lambs that are born outdoors in winter，for example，are frequently lost to cold．Microwaves could warm the lambs safely and quickly．

26．Which of the following can tell the main idea of the passage？A
A．A new heating system．
B．A new microwave oven．
C．A popular technique．
D．The magnetron．
27．According to Paragraph 2，which of the following does not describe the characteristics of a microwave heater？B
A．It directly heats people in a room．
B．It heats walls and furniture in a room．
C．It is safe．
D．It saves energy．
28．The test conducted by Buffler shows that when a person feels comfortable warmth，he receives aboutB．
A.20mw．/sq．cm．   B.40mw．/sq．cm．
C.60mw．/sq．cm．   D.85mw．/sq．cm．
29．According to Paragraph 4，which of the following fills the room with low-power microwaves？A
A．The magnetron．
B．The motion detector．
C．The microwave oven．
D．The radiation-absorbing chemical．
30．Which of the following statements about microwave heaters would Buffler most probably agree with？C
A．Microwave heaters will soon be widely used by homeowners．
B．Microwave heaters sometimes make people feel uncomfortable．
C．Perhaps microwave heaters will be first used by livestock farmers，who wish to protect their lambs in winter．
D．Microwave heaters cannot be accepted by the public because they are somewhat unsafe．

18．There is a boy called Bill in my gym class who has unbearably yellow teeth that almost make everyone feel unpleasant．Recently another boy told Bill that he should"go Ajax"his teeth．Bill was crushed．If the other boy had been thinking，he would have realized that there is a better way to handle such a situation．He could have dealt with it with tact．He could have showed this hurtful truth in a more careful，sensitive way-that's"tact"．
If a person isn't sensitive to another's feelings，there is no way he or she can be tactful．Yesterday，my 5-year-old brother proudly announced that he had cleaned the screen on our television set．Unfortunately，he used furniture polish，which produced an oily film on the television screen．My mother smiled arid thanked him for his efforts-and then showed how to clean the screen properly．Her sensitivity enables my brother to keep his self-respect．Yet，sensitivity alone does not make tact．
"Tactfulness"also requires"truthfulness"．Doctors，for example must be truthful．If a patient has just been disabled in an accident，a tactful doctor will tell the truth-but express it with sensitivity．The doctor may try to give the patient hope by telling them curing techniques under study or about advanced equipment now available．Doctors must use tact with patients'relatives as well．Instead of bluntly saying，"Your husband is disabled，"a doctor might say，"I'm sorry，but your husband has lost feeling in his legs and…"
Tact should not be confused with trickery．Trickery occurs when a nurse is about to give a patient an injection（注射） and says，"This won't hurt a bit．"Instead of trickery，the nurse might guarantee the patient that the discomfort of the injection is a small thing compared to the benefits of it．It would also be thoughtful for the nurse to tell the patients about some of these benefits．
Tact is a wonderful skill to have，and tactful people are usually admired and respected．Without tact our society would become an intolerable place to live in．

68．The underlined word"crushed"in the first paragraph probably meansD．
A．surprised        B．cheated         C．regretful     D．painful
69．According to the author，his mother's praise for the brother isB．
A．sensitive and tactful                   B．sensitive but not tactful enough
C．truthful but not tactful enough         D．sensitive but trickish
70．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage？C

15．American scientists have developed the first material that repairs itself．The material is a form of plastic that has been engineered to fill breaks in its surface．
Plastics are used today in everything．Scientists wanted to find a way to make objects made of plastic last longer．The researchers hope their new discovery can be used to make objects that are difficult or impossible to replace．
The surface of plastic objects breaks over time．Very small breaks develop every time a plastic object is used．The researchers wanted to find out how to stop plastic from developing small breaks that weaken and destroy it．They found the answer in the chemical structure of plastic itself．The research team found a way to make plastic that contains very small balloons filled with monomer（單體） liquid．When the new plastic cracks，the monomer liquid is let out and flows into the crack．Thus the break is repaired．The repaired plastic has seventy-five percent of the strength of undamaged plastic．
The new self-repairing plastic is not yet ready for production．But it has several possible uses．One could be in space vehicles where parts cannot be repaired or replaced．Another possible use might be in bridges．And it could be used in people，to replace bone joints that have become broken or damaged．
33．The passage mainly talks aboutA．
A．plastic that repairs itself               
B．the chemical structure of plastic
C．permanent material invented           
D．small balloons that makes plastic stronger
34．We know from the passage that the repair is done asB．

12．There was a gardener who looked after his garden with great care．To water his flowers，he used two buckets（水桶）．One was a shiny and new bucket．The other was a very old and dilapidated one，which had seen many years of service，but was now past its best．
Every morning，the gardener would fill up the two buckets．Then he would carry them along the path，one on each side，to the flowerbeds．The new bucket was very proud of itself．It could carry a full bucket of water without a single drop spilled （溢出）．The old bucket felt very ashamed because of its holes：before it reached the flowerbeds，much water had leaked （漏出） along the path．
Sometimes the new bucket would say，"See how capable I am!How good it is that the gardener has me to water the flowers every day!I don't know why he still bothers with you．What a waste of space you are!"
And all that the old bucket could say was．"I know I am not very useful，but I can only do my best．I am happy that the gardener still finds a little bit of use in me，at least．"
One day，the gardener heard that kind of conversation．After watering the flowers as usual，he said，"You both have done your work very well．Now I am going to carry you back．I want you to look carefully along the path．"
Then the two buckets did so．All along the path，they noticed，on the side where the new bucket was carried，there was just bare（光禿禿的）earth； on the other side where the old bucket was carried，there was a joyous row of wild flowers，leading all the way to the garden．

32．What was the old bucket ashamed of？D
A．His past．    B．His aging．
C．His manner．  D．His leaking．
33．What does the underlined word"dilapidated"probably mean？C
A．dirty              B．dark
C．worn-out           D．ordinary-looking．
34．The new bucket made conversations with the old one mainly toB．
A．take pity on the old one
B．laugh at the old one
C．show off its beautiful looks
D．praise the gardener's kindness

B．Because it stayed in its best condition
C．Because it had its own function
D．Because it was taken as a treasure．
