Note that there is one word more than you need.A. requiredB. earC. qualityD. abandonedE. dimF. consciousG. riddleH. titleI. bornJ. convincedEveryone has a childhood full of dreams. Looking back on my childhood, I am 41 that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were all brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon 42 their pressed flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no 43 for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.Before World War I, we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the 44 memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a clear memory of the dogs, the farm animals, the local birds, and above all, the insects.I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love for the natural world and my enthusiasm had led me into various investigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil reading about other peoples observations and discoveries. Then something happensthat brings these observations together in my 45 mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the 46 , because it all seems to fit together. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books, which some might honor with the 47 of scientific research.But curiosity, a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist: one of the outstanding and essential qualities 48 is self-discipline, a quality I lack. A scientist, up to point, can be made. A naturalist is 49 . If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Its hardly surprising that weather is a favorite topic for so many people around the world. It 50 where we choose to live, what we wear, our moods, and perhaps even our national features. A sunny day can lessen the deepest 51 , while very bad weather can destroy homes and threaten lives.The human race has always tried to 52 the weather, especially in areas of the world where there are many changes. Two popular traditional ways of predicting weather use pine cones(松果) and seaweed(海草). When the air has a high level of humidity(濕度), there is a higher chance of rain. When the humidity is low, there is more chance of 53 weather. Pine cones and seaweed feels dry when the humidity is low, 54 high humidity has the opposite effect.Todays methods of prediction increasingly depend on 55 . Satellites, balloons, ships, aircraft and weather centers with 56 equipments send data to computers. The data is then 57 , and the weather is predicted. However, 58 this system can not predict weather for longer than about a week.A recent study by an Australian scientist suggests that certain people may have a special 59 for predicting weather. However, it is 60 that these people could use their talent in another way, since the same group had a lot of success in predicting changes in another systemthe stock market.It 61 that a study of weather may also enable scientists to predict the sudden 62 of a disease. An Ebola epidemic (a kind of disease) in Uganda in the year 2000 came after the same rare 63 conditions that had been present before a sudden spread of the disease 6 years earlier. Efforts to 64 the spread of air-borne diseases such as foot and mouth are also strongly dependent on favorable wind conditions.50. A. shows B. affects C. predicts D. introduces51.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Being a victim of schoolyard violence can help pupils learn how to manage argument and develop their ability to get along with others, it was claimed.Helene Guldberg, associate lecturer in child development at the Open University, said trying to stop the “supposedly terrible dangers of bullying(欺負(fù))” can do more harm than good. She insisted teachers should not break up “everyday playground argument”, saying children should be left to deal with it themselves.In an on-line article, Dr. Guldberg said that bullying was “an experience that children need to develop”. But the comments were strongly criticized by anti-bullying campaigners.According to official figures, almost half of children claim they are bullied at school. One of the biggest studies of its kind by Ofsted showed 48 percent of young people had been orally or physically abused in the last year. It comes despite a number of government measures designed to crack down on the threats.Writing on a website, Dr. Guldberg said: “Teachers are increasingly taking the task of looking after childrens health and well-being rather than being allowed to get on with the task of educating them. Children are encouraged to assume their relationships with other children are damaging, and encouraged to look upon their classmates with suspicion.” She added: “If we treat children as if they cannot possibly cope with hurtful experiences, then we will likely to weaken their confidence and make them less likely to cope with difficult events in the future. In effect, we will prevent them from growing up.”The comments echo(附和) remarks made by teachers in recent years who claim the education system has been too focused on developing childrens social skills at the expense of academic learning. But Sue Steel, national manager of the Anti-Bullying Alliance, said: “Children who are being bullied often find it difficult to tell anyone. Teachers can help by giving appropriate attention.”65. The underlined word “abused” in Para. 4 is similar in meaning to “_”. A. criticized B. attacked C. helped D. judged66. Which of the following is TURE according to Helene Guldberg? A. Teachers should take the task of dealing with childrens argument. B. Children should be left to cope with their argument themselves. C. Children will gain their confidence if teachers manage their argument for them. D. Children cant cope with difficult events after dealing with hurtful experiences themselves.67. Anti-bullying campaigners think that _. A. teachers should help deal with childrens argument in a proper way B. the government should take measures to stop children from being bullied C. children will be prevented from growing up with too much school violence D. teachers should develop childrens academic learning rather than social skills68. The passage mainly tells us that schoolyard violence is _. A. difficult to get rid of B. common among young people C. not necessarily bad for children D. harmful to childrens academic learning(B)Northern IrelandVisitor GuidePassport/Visa RequirementsPassport Advice Line (UK)T: 0300 222 0000.ukUK nationals can travel without a passport but will need photographic identification.
