It was hard to get up for that class, but every morning I would 26 the cold winds and went to the

12、lecture. The professor for the class would step 27 into the room. He was terribly nervous about the class and always fixed his eyes on his book, never 28 us. I felt that I needed to do something to 29 the boredom, so I tried to find something in his lecture to ask him, forcing me to pay attention ra

13、ther than letting my eyes close. The first time I raised my hand, he was surprised but was obviously 30 to have a question to answer. In fact, his answers were always _31_. I continued to do this every day. The professor seemed to become a bit more 32 and some students even joined in. In this way, I

14、 learned quite a lot and realized the professor was indeed an_33_ in his field. On the last day of class we gathered our books and headed out.

But unlikehuman, plants can have their temperature taken from

19、 3,000 feet away-straight up. A decade ago,adopting the infrared紅外線(xiàn)scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites, physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress. The goal was to let farmers precise

20、ly target pesticide殺蟲(chóng)劑spraying rather thanrain poison on a whole field, which invariably includes plants that dont have pest problems. Even better, Paleys Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before theybecame visible to the eye. Mounted on a plane flown at 3,000 feet at night

21、, an infrared scanner measured the heat emitted by crops. The data were transformed into a colour-coded map showing where plants were running fevers. Farmers could then spot-spray點(diǎn)噴, using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would. The bad news is that Paleys company closed down in 1

22、984, after only three years. Farmers resisted the new technology and long-term backers were hard to find. But with the renewed concern aboutpesticides on produce, and refinements in infrared scanning, Paley hopes to get back into operation.Agriculture experts have no doubt the technology works. This

23、 technique can be used on 75 percent ofagricultural land in the United States, says George Oerther of Texas A & M. Ray Jackson, who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture, thinks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade.But only if Paley finds the financia

24、l backing which he failed to obtain 10 years ago.41. Plants will send out an increased amount of heat when they are_.A. sprayed with pesticidesB. in poor physical conditionC. facing an infrared scannerD. exposed to excessive sun rays42. In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely, we can use infr

25、ared scanning to_.A. estimate the damage to the cropsB. measure the size of the affected areaC. find the exact position of the problem areaD. draw a color-coded map43. Farmers can save a considerable amount of pesticide by_.A. discovering crop problems at an early stageB. consulting infrared scannin

26、g expertsC. transforming poisoned rainD. making use of spot-spraying44. The use of infrared scanning technology in agriculture met with some difficulties in _.A. the lack of financial supportB. its high costC. the lack of official supportD. its failure to help increase production45. Infrared scannin

27、g technology may be brought back into operation because of _. A. the desire of farmers to improve the quality of their produceB. the forceful promotion by the Department of AgricultureC. growing concern about the excessive use of pesticides on cropsD. full support from agricultural expertsBWhen my d

28、aughter was five, we gave her a piano as her birthday gift. With great excitement, she began learning piano under the teachers guidance. Nevertheless, when she was no longer curious about it, she became sick of it. After all, it is a tough job to learn piano, not to mention the daily routine of prac

29、tice. Therefore, every time, I had to urge her again and again, either to force or offer her some profits for the practice. She always felt uncomfortable sitting on that school, so she would either scratch her nose or ears, or hide in the bathroom for quite a long time.Her first teacher left and mov

30、ed somewhere else. My friend introduced me to an American teacher. The American teachers way of teaching was completely American style. After practicing, she would give my daughter some good comments on the excellent part despite it being just a small one, and then point out what should be improved.

31、 Whats more, every time she came, instead of beginning the lesson right away, she would first play some music. She said, “To learn playing the piano, you should learn not only the skills of playing, but more importantly, to feel the music and love it.To my surprise, my daughter gradually became fond

32、 of piano lessons. Sometimes she even would like to show off a little bit in class after her skill had reached a certain level. Her confidence and sense of achievement were enhanced =increased with the appreciation and acknowledgement from her teachers and classmates.Surprisingly, my daughter said t

33、o me one day, “Morn, I was lucky because you didnt give up my piano lessons. Learning piano is like climbing a mountain. Youll feel tired when you are on the way. When you look down from where you are, you will realize that you have been making progress. But if you stop, you will never take one more

34、 step. Hearing these inspiring words, I could not hold my tears, thinking that is the very thing I want to teach her, something that is more important than learning piano.46. The daughter was not curious about piano when she _。A. became sick B. got tired of itC. was angry with her lessons D. felt sa

35、d47.

38、ildren.C. learning to play the piano is very important in ones life.D. well succeed if we are devoted to something.CIn the primary school, a child is in a comparatively simple setting and most of the time forms a relationship with one familiar teacher. On entering secondary school, a new world opens

39、 up and frequently it is a much more difficult world. The pupil soon learns to be less free in the way he speaks to teachers and even to his fellow pupils. He begins to lose gradually the free and easy ways of the primary school, for he senses the need for a more cautious approach in the secondary s

40、chool where there are older pupils. Secondary staff and pupils suffer from the pressures of academic work and seem to have less time to stop and talk. Teachers with specialist roles may see hundreds of children in a week, and a pupil may be able to form relationships with very few of the staff. He h

41、as to decide which adults are approachable; good schools will make clear to every young person from the first year what guidance and personal help is availablebut whether the reality of life in the institution actually encourages requests for help is another matter.Adults often forget what a confusi

42、ng picture school can offer to a child. He sees a great deal of movement, a great number of peopleoften rather frightening-looking peopleand realizes that an increasing number of choices and decisions have to be made. As he progresses through the school the confusion may become less but the choices

43、and decisions required will increase. The school will rightly expect the pupil to take the first steps to obtain the help he needs, for this is the pattern of adult life for which he has to be prepared, but all the time the opportunities for personal and group advice must be presented in a way which

44、 makes them easy to understand and within easy reach of pupils. 51.According to the passage one of the problems for pupils entering secondary schools is that _.A. they are taught by many different teachersB. they do not attend lessons in every subjectC. the teachers do not want to be friendlyD. the

48、 of this passage?A. The difference between the primary school and the secondary school. B. The method that pupils get help from the teachers. C. The function of the secondary school.D. The personal development of the pupils in the secondary school. DThe significance of trust is that it allows the pa

49、rties involved in the relationship to show how they feel, what they behave, and where they disagree without fear of contradiction矛盾 or revenge 報(bào)復(fù). Trusting relationship encourage people to make their plans and ideas known without hurting themselves or others. Hurt, whether real or imagined, is one o

50、f the most harmful consequences of personal relationships with other human beings. In situations which you feel that the other person has the power and intention to hurt you, trust decreases quickly. Thus a climate of distrust appears in your relations with others. On the contrary, if I can say what

51、ever comes to my mind without getting hurt, the relationship is filled with a climate of trust. Trust is a perceptual知覺(jué)的，感知的 phenomenon that evolves from our experiences with others. If trusting were so easy, we would not need to make such a point of its importance in human relationships. To say tha

52、t a person should trust others is to reduce the difficulty of producing trust. In mutual relationships, both parties must behave toward one another in trusting ways. Even though it hurts in the pit of the stomach 心底, you must trust the other person and encourage him or her to say those things that d

53、emand a trusting response. No one likes to get hurt and few like to hurt others, especially not those others who are close to us in person-to-person relationships. We avoid expressing our true feelings in case we become the target of a revenging attack from the other person. If I indicate that I do not appreciate having you smoke in my car, I may love you as a friend or I may become the subject of ridicule嘲笑，奚落 for allowing little things like that to bother me. If that happens, I will be less open and less trusting of you the next time.56. The significa
