题目内容

【题目】I'm a pig，and my son is a rabbit. I have snakes for daughters，and my wife，believe it or not，is a dragon！Do I live in a zoo？No，of course not！I am talking about Chinese zodiac signs(十二生肖)．Depending on the year of your birth，each person has an animal for a sign. That's why I am a pig and my wife is a dragon. If you，like me，were born in the year of the pig，then you are brave，thoughtful and loyal. The year of the pig is filled with good fortune.

Now let's take a closer look at this interesting animal.

Pigs were first raised by man about 9,000 years ago，and are still a very common farm animal in many parts of the world. We don't just use pigs for their meat—almost every part of the animal is used. The hair is used for artists' brushes. The fat is used to make floor wax，rubber and plastics.

Pigs have also been important in the world of entertainment. In 1995 the film Babe starred a loveable talking pig as its main character. The film won an Oscar and was nominated(提名)for 6 more. In England you can even go to watch pig racing. A farmer，Rob Shepherd，has been raising money for charity by holding pig races on his farm. The events have been very successful. People don't just want to eat pigs，it seems!

Pigs also play an important role in the English language. For example，if someone says that he will travel to the sun one day，you can say “Pigs_might_fly！” to him. Hungry？Well then，you can “pig out” and eat lots of food. And what if someone rescues you？Well，you can say that they “saved your bacon”．

练习册系列答案

Recently, a number of studies found that future reductions of sea ice could result in a loss of many polar bears within fifty years. The studies found a direct link between sea ice in the Arctic Ocean and the health of polar bears. The scientists say the animals will disappear from the north coasts of Alaska and Russia in the next fifty years. The only polar bears to survive will be in Canada's far north and the west coast of Greenland.

The scientists found that almost two thirds of the world's nineteen polar bear populations will disappear from the earth by the middle of this century. The studies showed that three more groups of polar bears will disappear within seventy-five years.

Scientists say polar bears still can be saved. But they say the world must begin taking steps to reduce climate change to do this. The center for Biological Diversity says governments around the world need to reduce the release (释放)of pollution like C02 gas.

Scientists say one step toward this goal would be to include polar bears on America's list of endangered species. Then the government would be able to make sure that industrial activities do not threaten their survival. The United States Fish and Wildlife Service is expected to examine the new findings when it considers whether polar bears should be included on the Endangered Species List.

【1】 Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The living conditions of the polar bears are improving.

B. Almost two thirds of polar bears will disappear within seventy-five years.

C. The health of polar bears is directly connected with the sea ice.

D. The polar bears mainly feed on sea ice.

【2】 According to the passage, the number of the polar bears is directly decided by ______.

A. the climate change B. the amount of sea ice

C. C02 gas D. industrial activities

【3】 Whether polar bears should be included on America's Endangered Species List or not is decided by ______.

A. the United States Fish and Wildlife Service

B. the Center for Biological Diversity

C. the polar bears themselves

D. American government

【4】 This passage mainly tells us ______ .

A. the relationship between climate change and sea ice in the Arctic Ocean.

B. the influence of the weather change on the polar bears in the Arctic Ocean.

C. one step to save the endangered polar bears.

D. the fact that the number of the polar bears is decreasing.

【题目】Does handwriting matter? Not very much, according to many educators. However, scientists say it is far too soon to declare handwriting is not important. New evidence suggests that the link between handwriting and educational development is deep.

Children not only learn to read more quickly when they first learn to write by hand, but they are also better able to create ideas and remember information. In other words, it’s not only what we write that matters—but how.

A study led by Karin James, a psychologist （心理学家）at Indiana University, gave support to that view. A group of children, who had not learned to read and write, were offered a letter or a shape on a card and asked to copy it in one of three ways: draw the image on a page but with a dotted outline (虚线) , draw it on a piece of blank white paper, or type it on a computer. Then the researchers put the children in a brain scanner and showed them the image again.

It was found that when children had drawn a letter freehand without a dotted outline or a computer, the activity in three areas of the brain was increased. These three areas work actively in adults when they read and write. On the contrary, children who chose the other two ways showed no such effect. Dr. James attributes the differences to the process of free handwriting: Not only must we first plan and take action in a way but we are also likely to produce a result that is variable. Those are not necessary when we have an outline.

It’s time for educators to change their minds and pay more attention to children’s handwriting.

【1】What do scientists mean by saying “it is far too soon to declare handwriting is not important”?

A. Handwriting is not very important to children.

B. Handwriting has nothing to do with education.

C. Handwriting can not be learned in a short time.

D. Handwriting should not be ignored at present.

【2】What does “that view” in Para. 3 refer to?

A. Children read quickly when they write by hand.

B. Children create ideas and remember information.

C. How we write is as important as what we write.

D. A group of students should know what to write.

【3】Which is NOT the children’s task in the experiment?

A. Put a brain scanner and show the image again.

B. Draw the image on a piece of blank white paper.

C. Type the image directly on a computer.

D. Copy the image on a page but with a dotted outline.

【4】According to the passage, the author obviously giving up handwriting.

A. is for B. is against

C. is responsible for D. doesn’t care about
