Maybe I am differen

10、t from most people, but I do not 21 with them. To me they are kind of the 22 of language learning. They come at the end of a meal. Once you have filled up on the solid fare, the key words and phrases that are used in all kinds of 23 , then you can add a few 24 to spice up (給增添新鮮感、趣味)things. And by t

11、hat time you will be able to pick them up 25 anyway.I find that many learners have an obsession(困擾) with slang(俚語) and idioms, 26 repeating some very oral idioms is going to upgrade how they 27 in a language. In fact it is the 28 . Idioms are difficult to use correctly. They can easily sound very st

12、range coming from someone who obviously does not have a good 29 of the language. 30 , occasionally you hear idioms or slang and do not understand. But, in my experience, there are always situations where you do not understand. It is best to 31 the most important words, what they mean and how they ar

13、e used. 32 , it is best for a non-native speaker to 33 to standard speech.You will learn all the idioms you need just by 34 yourself to the language. In 35 , you can save any phrase that you find interesting, and if that 36 idioms, go to it. But I would not make any special 37 to go after idioms. I,

14、 in fact, 38 them. If I 39 across something in Russian that strikes me as a particularly slangy or idiomatic use of words, I just leave it aside; do not even bother trying to learn it. If it keeps on 40 , then I will learn it.  But I would certainly be reluctant(勉強(qiáng)的) to try to use it.21. A. dis

19、 in class discussions. Gaias ability to communicate her own idea is a skill that many of us work for a very long time to achieve.Gaia also has a deep curiosity about the world around her. The simple fact that she desired to spend a year in another country is proof enough. I have also seen her show t

20、his curiosity in class. She asked some of the most interesting and thoughtful questions in her class. When others were content to accept a point, Gaia would see from a new angle that none of us had tried.As a student in Humanities, Gaia was required to complete a group project. The project was to wr

21、ite a page for a Humanities textbook using text and multimedia. It was a challenging task and Gaias group was experiencing some difficulties. Yet, they had an easier time of it, because they did not hesitate to come to me with their problems and try to work them out. As a result, Gaia and her group

22、had one of the more successful projects. The ability it needs to recognize a problem and ask for help to solve it will be of great value if she is selected.Gaias interest in the world around her will serve her well as a Lauder Exchange student. The ease with which she makes new friend will also help

27、Summers, got into trouble for questioning womens “intrinsic(內(nèi)在的) aptitude(能力)” for science and engineering. Recently, a study paid for by Americas National Science Foundation has found that girls perform as well as boys on standardized math tests.Although boys in high school performed better than gi

28、rls in math 20 years ago, the researchers found, that is no longer the case. The reason, they said, is simple: Girls used to take fewer advanced math courses than boys, but now they are taking just as many.“Now that enrollment in advanced math courses is equalized, we dont see gender differences in

29、test performance,” said Marcia C.Linn of the University of California, Berkeley, a co-author of the study. “But people are surprised by these findings, which suggests to me that the stereotypes (成見) are still there.”The researchers looked at the average test scores of all students, the performance o

30、f the most gifted children and the ability to solve complex math problems. They found, in every category, that girls did as well as boys.Janet Hyde, a professor at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, who led the study, said the stereotypes about girls and math had taken a toll(造成傷害).“The stereotyp

31、e that boys do better at math is still helped widely by teachers and parents.” Hyde said. “And teachers and parents guide girls, giving them advice about what courses to take, what careers to pursue. I still hear anecdotes about guidance counselors(顧問) advising girls away from engineering, telling t

32、hem they wont be able to do the math.”The study also analyzed the gender gap on the math section of the SAT. Since more girls than boys go to college, about 100,000 more girls than boys take the test, including lower-achieving girls who bring down the girls average score.45. What might be the reason

33、 to carry out the study? A. To put Harvard University to shame for its presidents prejudice against girls.B. To find out if theres any gender gap in science. C. To help girls to earn equal social status as boys.D. To enroll more girls in advanced math courses in the university.46. Which statement is

34、 FALSE according to the text? A. Girls used to perform worse than boys in math because they didnt take as many advanced math courses.   B. The stereotype about girls and math may lead to misguided choice of future career. C. The average lower scores of girls in SAT math test prove that boy

35、s do better in math. D. The public doesnt accept outspoken prejudice against girls talent for math despite the stereotype.47. What does “gender gap” in the last paragraph refer to?  A. More boys than girls take the SAT to go to college.B. Many girls are lower-achieving in the math section of th

36、e SAT.C. The difference between girls and boys in learning math.D. The average scores of girls are lower in the math section of the SAT.48. The main purpose of writing the passage is to _.

37、girls cannot do well in math C. prove that the stereotype that girls do worse in math is wrongD. help girls regain confidence in learning math well C This story is about a 92-year-old, short, well-behaved and proud lady. She is fully dressed each morning by eight, with her hair fashionably done and

38、makeup perfectly applied, even though she is totally blind. She is moving to a nursing home today. Her husband of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary. After many hours of waiting patiently in the hall of the nursing home, she smiled sweetly when told her room was ready. As she m

39、oved to the elevator, I provided a visual description of her tiny room, including the eyelet(觀察孔) sheets that had been hung on her window. “I love it,” she stated with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old girl having just been presented with a new puppy. “Mrs. Jones, you havent seen the room yet. Jus

40、t wait.” “That doesnt have anything to do with it,” she replied. “Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doesnt depend on how the furniture is arranged, its how I arrange my mind. Ive already decided to love it. Its a decision I make every morning when I wa

41、ke up.” “I have a choice; I can spend the day in bed recounting the difficulty I have with the parts of my body that no longer work, or get out of bed and be thankful for the ones that do. Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open Ill focus on the new day and all the happy memories Ive stored

42、away, just for this time in my life. Old age is like a bank account, you withdraw(收回) from what youve put in.

45、our LifeC. Life Is Full of Sorrow and HappinessD. Coming Out from the Shadow of LifeDThe word “recession”(經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退) has dominated news stories over past months and has led many people to make decisions out of panic. They have stopped making holiday plans, buying houses, and going out for dinner. As the

46、media continues to use the “R”(recession) word in headlines, there are reports of people even failing to buy necessary prescription(處方) medicine.What or who is to blame for the recession, besides economic factors? According to Benjamin Radford, managing editor of the Skeptical Inquirer science magaz

47、ine, psychology and the news media combined have made the recession worse.In a recent article published on , Radford wrote that the act of reporting a problem could often increase the problem. Media stories suggesting a recession was coming, Radford suggests, made people more cautious about investin

48、g(投資) and spending. This then helped slow economic growth, which in turn led to recession.Glen Hodgson, senior vice-president and chief economist of The Conference Board of Canada, agrees. He believes the word “recession” has badly affected the confidence of consumers and investors, which has furthe

49、r hurt the economy. He says all the recession talk made consumers and investors begin to worry about their job prospects(前景) and ability to keep earning. As a result they stopped buying, investing or making long-term plans.The psychology of recession is that our worst fears come true because-if peop

50、le feel bad, things do indeed get worse. Science may have an explanation. A stressed brain cannot think wisely. Blood flow to the frontal cortex(大腦額葉皮層) is limited. To put it simply, stress makes you stupid, according to Professor Neill Neill, a psychologist and author. Or as Franklin D. Roosevelt s

51、aid in his 1933 inaugural address(就職演說) as American president: “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”53. What effect has the news of recessions brought about? A.

55、a on people in a time of recessionESince its invention 100 years ago, plastic, the superstar of the technological age, has become ugly and ungreen. But thats about to change. An exhibition at Londons Science Museum this week could put it back on the cutting edge of science.Have you ever hesitated in

56、 donating blood? The invention of “plastic blood” might make you feel better.British scientists are working on the artificial blood as a replacement for real blood in emergency situations. It is made of plastic molecules(分子)and can join oxygen and transport it around the body. As a red, honey-like glue, plastic blood can be carried around conveniently. You just add water to make as much blood as you need.The cells of our body are strict about
