8.Finland lies in the north of Europe,and has Russia to the east.It is two different places in winter and summer.Summers there are fairly dry and hot,although by August things can already begin to get cold and unpleasant.Of course,winters are cold,but the cold is dry.In most parts snow comes in October and clears by the end of March,but in the northern parts snow can fall as early as September and stay until late May.
     The tourist season in southern Finland is from early June to late August.This is when all the tourist attractions and summer programs are open,with steamboats and ferries (渡船) traveling on the lakes and rivers,and festivals become very lively.Finnish holidays are from the summer high season in late June to the end of July.This is the time period of nights with sunlight,when Finland doesn't seem to sleep.
     The tourist season in northern Finland is different.Mosquitoes (蚊子) can be annoying in July,but September is lovely with its autumn colors.October,February and March are good times to visit the north of Finland to view the aurora borealis (北极光),and enjoy winter activities such as skiing and dog sledding.The Christmas holiday period is also one of the best times in Finland-after all,this is the"official"home of Santa Claus.Helsinki,the capital of Finland,is popular all year round.

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 (性别) 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(质地) 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(描写性的) 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(内脏),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

13.English is the most widely used language in the history of our planet.One in every seven human beings can speak it.More than half of the world's books and three quarters of international mails are in English.Of all languages,English has the largest vocabulary-perhaps as many as two million words.
   However,let's face it:English is a crazy language.There is no egg in an eggplant,neither pine nor apple in a pineap ple and no ham in a hamburger.Sweet-meats are candy,while sweetbreads,which aren't sweet,are meat.
   We take English for granted.But when we explore its paradoxes (矛盾),we find that quicksand can work slowly,boxing rings are square,public bathrooms have no baths in them.And why is it that a writer writes,but fingers don't fing,grocers don't groce,and hammers don't ham?If the plural (复数形式) of tooth is teeth,shouldn't the plural of booth be beeth?One goose,two geese-so one moose,two meese?How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same,while a wise man and a wise guyare opposites?How can overlook and oversee be opposites,while quite a lot and quite a few are alike?How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?
English was invented by people,not computers,and it reflects the creativity of human beings.That's why,when stars are out,they are visible; but when the lights are out,they are invisible.And why,when I wind up my watch,I start it; but when I wind up this essay,I end it.
25.According to the passageB.
A.there should be eggs in an eggplant

18.Life will probably be very different in 2050.First of all,it seems that TV channels will have disappeared by 2050.Instead,people will choose a programme from a"menu"and a computer will send the programme directly to the television.Today,we can use the World Wide Web to read newspaper stories and see pictures on a computer thousands of kilometers away.By 2050,music,films,programmes,newspapers and books will come to us in this way.
In many places,agriculture(农业) is developing quickly and people are growing fruit and vegetables for export.This uses a lot of water.Therefore,there could be serious shortages.Some futurologists predict(预测) that water could be the cause of war if we don't act now.
In future,cars will run on new,clean fuels and they will go very fast.Cars will have computers to control the speed of them and there won't be any accidents.Today,many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are.By 2050,the computer will control the car and drive it to your destination.Also,by 2050,space planes will fly people from Los Angels to Tokyo in just two hours.
Some big companies now prefer to use robots that do not ask for pay rises or go on strike(罢工),and work 24hours a day.By 2050,we will see robots everywhere-in factories,schools,offices,hospitals,shops and homes.
By 2050,we will be able to help blind and deaf people see again and hear again.Nowadays,scientists have discovered how to control genes(基因) and have already produced clones of animals.By 2050,scientists will be able to produce clones of people and decide how they look,how they behave and how much intelligence they have.Scientists will be able to do these things,but should they?

24.By 2050,people will get information mainly byD.
