6.This was no ordinary class.The students who came together were all science or engineering professors at Cornell University.They had interrupted their research to accept an invitation to take part in an unusual experiment:"an interesting week of poetry".This class was part of a study to answer the questions:Why is science difficult for many non-science students?
The students in the poetry class listened to lectures and took notes.They had reading tasks and had to write three short papers.All students noticed one thing-the importance of spoken words.In science and engineering classes,the instructors put tables and drawings on the blackboard.But in this poetry class,the instructors just talked.They didn't write anything on the board.
The scientists and engineers noticed one similarity between science and poetry.In both subjects,students need to find layers of meaning.Some layers are simple,clear,and on the surface; other layers are deeper and more difficult.This search for different levels of meaning doesn't happen much in undergraduate science classes,but it is important later,in graduate school.And it is always important in humanities(人文科學(xué)).
Both the poetry instructors and their students learned something about teaching from this experience.One poetry instructor,for example,now sees the importance of using informational charts as he teaches.Most of the scientists agreed on several points.First,humanities classes might help science students to see patterns and decide which information is important.Second,the poetry class was fun.One engineer decided,"We need to change the way we teach engineering to make it an enjoyable experience for students."But perhaps the most important result of the experience was this:All of the professors began to think about how they teach and how they can teach better.
(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.)

81.Why was this class very unusual?The students were (science or engineering) professors from a university.
82.The experiment was designed to help teachers find outwhy many non-science/humanities students find science hard to learn.
83.The poetry class was different from science and engineering classes in thatthe instructors just talked and they didn't write anything on the board.
84.What influence did the experiment had on those professors?All of the professors began to reflect on their way of teaching..

分析 該篇文章屬于說(shuō)明文.文章介紹了一個(gè)特殊班級(jí)的組成情況以及他們進(jìn)行特殊課程培訓(xùn)的目的和過(guò)程,同時(shí)對(duì)他們的感受做了描述和總結(jié).

解答 81.The students were (science or engineering) professors from a university.
82.why many non-science/humanities students find science hard to learn
83.the instructors just talked and they didn't write anything on the board
84.All of the professors began to reflect on their way of teaching.
81.The students were (science or engineering) professors from a university.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.題目考查了這個(gè)特殊班級(jí)的情況,文章第一段The students who came together were all science or engineering professors at Cornell University.介紹了學(xué)生的來(lái)源情況:他們都是大學(xué)教授,來(lái)自康奈爾大學(xué).
82.why many non-science/humanities students find science hard to learn細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第一段This class was part of a study to answer the questions:Why is science difficult for many non-science students?的敘述內(nèi)容可知該活動(dòng)的目的是:回答為什么非理科專業(yè)學(xué)生學(xué)理科特別困難.
83.the instructors just talked and they didn't write anything on the board  細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段In science and engineering classes,the instructors put tables and drawings on the blackboard.But in this poetry class,the instructors just talked.They didn't write anything on the board.可知詩(shī)歌班與科學(xué)工程班不同的原因是導(dǎo)師只聊天,在黑板上不寫任何東西.
84.All of the professors began to reflect on their way of teaching.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章最后一段All of the professors began to think about how they teach and how they can teach better.可知實(shí)驗(yàn)對(duì)教授們的影響是:所有的教授開(kāi)始思考他們的教學(xué)方式.

14.[1]Handwritten thank-you letters are such a simple way of making other people feel good,it is strange that so few people write them anymore.At work,a thank-you letter to employees is unbelievably effective.It costs little and has no side effects.ne effort involved in writing letters is very low.The pleasure on receiving them is very high.This makes them an excellent way to reward and motivate staff.
[2]Doug Conant,manager of Campbell's Soup Company since 2001,knows the power of thank-you letters.He said that every day he works with an assistant,combing the company for people deserving thanks.He then writes them a thank-you letter.Over the past 10years he has sent 30,000thank-you letters to his employees-more than 10each day.The reward is huge:his company has remained one of the most successful in its field for years.
[3]But if these letters are so uplifting,why don't more managers write them?
There seem __________.Firstly6,chief executives running compa-nies think their own work is more valuable than that of others.Since no one ever writes them thank-you letters they don't write any themselves.Secondly,they aren't close e-nough to the business to know who deserves thanks. Thirdly,they have forgotten the strange human truth that almost everyone would do almost anything in return for a few words of appreciation.
[4]In these days of such busy schedules and people running all over the place and trying to get ahead,sometimes we forget the simplest things in life are the most power-ful and rewarding.You need to think to yourself about a time someone sent you a thank-you and how much it meant to you.Always remember to"Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you!"

76.Which sentence in the text is closest in meaning to the following one?
It is not at all difficult to write letters.The effort involved in writing letters is very low.
77.What's the purpose of Paragraph 2?(no more than 15words)To give an example showing how effective thank-you letters are./To provide an example to show thank-you letters are effective./To give an example to support the main idea.
78.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3with proper words.(no more than 5words)to be three reasons

1.A popular saying goes,"Sticks and stones may break my bones,but words will never hurt me."However,that's not really true.Words have the power to build us up or tear us down.It doesn't matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves-the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.
We all talk to ourselves sometimes.We're usually too embarrassed to admit it,though.In fact,we really shouldn't be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.
This"self-talk"helps us motivate ourselves,remember things,solve problems,and calm ourselves down.Be aware,though,that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative.So in order to stay positive,we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves.We should also be quick to  give ourselves a pat on the back.The next time you finish a project,do well in a test,or finally clean your room,join me in saying"Good job!"
Often,words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have.But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others.For example,when returning an item to a store,we might use warm,friendly language during the exchange.And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner.Or harsh and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.
Words possess power because of their lasting effect.Many of us regret something we once said.And we remember unkind words said to us!Before speaking,we should always go through a"ask-yourself"test:Is it true?Is it loving?Is it needed?If what we want to say doesn't pass this test,then it's better left unsaid.
Words possess power:both positive and negative.Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively.We can offer hope,build self-esteem and motivate others to do their best.Negative words destroy all those things.Will we use our words to hurt or to heal?The choice is ours.
(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 10WORDS.)

81.As to the power of words,the author believes they can eitherbuild us/people up or tear us/people down/be positive or negative/hurt or heal/encourage or discourage us/people.
82.People should only speak words of encouragement to themselves tostay positive.
83.What does the underlined part"give ourselves a pat on the back"mean?encourage/praise ourselves
84.What should we do if the"ask-yourself test"is not passed?We'd better leave the words unsaid..

11.閱讀下面的短文,并根據(jù)短文后的要求答題(請(qǐng)注意問(wèn)題后的字?jǐn)?shù)要求).
(1)Our character,basically,is a mixture of our habits."Sow a thought,reap an action; sow an action,reap a habit;________,reap a character; sow a character,reap a destiny (命運(yùn)),"the maxim goes.
  (2)Habits are powerful factors in our lives.Because they are  often unconscious patterns,they constantly daily affect our character and produce our effectiveness or ineffectiveness.
  (3)As Horace Mann,the great educator,once said,"Habits are like a cable.We weave a rope of it everyday and soon it cannot be broken."I personally do not agree with the last part of his expression.I know habits can be learned and unlearned.But we also know it isn't a quick fix.It involves a process and a tremendous effort.
  (4)Those of us who watched the lunar voyage of Apollo 11 were shocked as we saw the first men walk on the moon and return to earth.But to get there,those astronauts had to break out of the tremendous gravity pull of the earth.More energy was spent in the first few minutes of lift-off,in the first few miles of travel,than was used over the next several days to travel half million miles.
 (5)Habits,too,have tremendous gravity pull-more than most people realize or would admit.Breaking deeply developed habitual tendencies such as procrastination(拖延),impatience,criticalness,or selfishness that go against basic principles of human effectiveness involves more than a little willpower and a few minor changes in our lives."Lift off"takes a tremendous effort,but once we break out of the gravity pull,our freedom takes on a whole new situation.
 (6)Like any natural force,gravity pull can work with us or against us.The gravity pull of some of our habits may currently be keeping us from going where we want to go.But it is also gravity pull that keeps our world together,that keeps the planets in their orbits and our universe in order.It is a powerful force,and if we use it effectively,we can use the gravity pull of habit to create the order necessary to establish effectiveness in our lives.
76.What is the best title of the passage?(no more than 8 words)
Habits make/shape you/us./Excellence comes from good habits
77.Please complete the blank in the para.1 (no more than 3 words)
Sow a habit
78.Why does the author say habits have powerful effects on our lives?(no more than 15 words)
Habits can constantly affect our character and produce our effectiveness or ineffectiveness
79.What does the writer mean by refering to gravity pull?(no more than 13 words)
Habits are like gravity,which can work with us or against us
80.What does the underlined"it"in line3 para3 refer to?(no more than 3 words)
forming a habit/growing a habit.

[1]It's a fine line parents walk as they try to guide their kids into adulthood.You want to protect but not treat too kindly,advise but not control and let them live their own lives-with some input,of course.
[2]When your child asks for help or advice,give only what was asked for.If your Child asks you to tie a particular hard-to-tie knot(繩結(jié))for a project she is working on,just tie the knot.Don't start helping with the rest of the project or making suggestions on how to do it.She wants to do it herself,in her own way.Before                 which your child has not askd for,count to ten.Perhaps in those seconds you'll decide that the advice would do no good,or isn't really that important,and you'll drop it.If the advice still seems important,you will give it,but the pause may lead you to give it in a more thoughtful way.
[3]Remember that your child is not you and is not a reflection of you.We mak a serious mistake if we try to shape our children into copies of ourselves,or if we think of them as extensions or reflections of ourselves.We need to help them to be them,not try to turn them into us or into something that we think will make us look good.
[4]Our primary responsibility to our children is not that of telling them moment-to-moment or day-to-day how to behave but providing them with a healthy environment in which to develop.For example,one of the best ways you can help your kids is to work with your community to create safe-enough outdoor places to play in your neighborhood.
76.What's the best title of this text?(no more than 10 words)
Teach Children Wisely and Well/Guide Kids Into Adulthood Wisely                                                                   
77.Which sentence in the text is closest in meaning to the following one?
It's not your duty to help her finish the whole thing or give her advice on the way of doing it.
Don't start helping with the rest of the project or making suggestions on how to do it.

offering help or advice/you offer help or advice                                                                             
79.Make a list of three mistakes that we parents usually make in guiding the kids.(no more than 24 words)
(1)shaping the kids into our copies
(2)thinking of the kids as our extensions
(3)trying to turn the kids into us

15.[1]Whether you're recovering from a foot injury or working hard to prevent one,a proper warm-up before athletic activity is important.You should start with a general warm-up.This is intended to get your heart rate up and your muscle groups warm.Walking,gentle jogging or basic aerobics (有氧運(yùn)動(dòng)) are all good places to start.The general warm-up should increase your heart rate and speed up breath so that your blood becomes oxygen-rich and carries nutrients to the muscle groups you're about to work.
[2]After the general warm up,move on to basic stretching,which doesn't require a lot of movement.Stretch your legs,ankles,feet,arms,chest and back.After completing these basic stretches,you can move on to sport-specific stretching.They should focus on the muscle groups you're about to engage and prepare your body for the types of movements the sport requires.
[3]Failure to warm up properly before athletics can result in injuries.So don't forget to stretch your feet and ankles when warming up!Point and bend your feet.Gently roll your ankle in one direction,and then in the other direction.Rise up on your toes and then gently rock back so that your weight is on your heels.
[4]Cooling down after physical activity is just ________________ warming up.First stretch the muscle groups and parts of the body you just worked the hardest.Then move on to general body stretching.And finally,cool down with a gentle aerobic activity that will gradually return your heartbeat to its resting rate.
[5]Properly fitting athletic shoes are also important to preventing foot injuries.Look for athletic shoes specific to your foot type.People with high arches (足弓) should buy shoes which have a lot of support,and people with fallen arches should look for shoes that advertise motion control.Buy your athletic shoes a half size bigger than your normal size as feet tend to increase in size when you exercise.
76.What is the text mainly about?(no more than 6 words)Ways/How to prevent foot injuries/Away from foot injuries
77.Complete the following statement with proper words.(no more than 4 words)
It's possible that notwarming up properly/doing a proper (general) warm-up/doing (or starting with )a warm-upbefore carrying out sports activities will cause injuries.
78.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 4 with proper words.(no more than 4 words)
