2.Under normal conditions the act of communication requires the presence of at least two persons:one who sends and one who receives the communication.In order to communicate thoughts and feelings,there must be a conventional (传统的) system of signs of symbols which mean the same to the sender and the receiver.
     The means of sending communications are too numerous and varied for systematic classification(分类),therefore,the analysis must begin with the means of receiving communication.Reception of communication is only achieved by our senses.Sight,hearing,and touch play the most important roles.Smell and taste play very limited roles,for they cannot receive intellectual expression from fully developed systems of signs and symbols.
     Examples of visual communication are gesture and mimicry (模仿).Although both frequently accompany speech,there are systems that rely solely on sight,such as those used by deaf and dumb persons. Another means of communication visually is by signals of fire,smoke,flags and flashing lights.Feelings may be simply communicated by touch,such as by handshaking or backslapping,although a highly developed system of handstriking has enabled blind,deaf,and dumb persons to communicate intelligently.Whistling to someone,applauding in a theater,and other forms of communication by sound rely upon the ear as a receiver.The most fully developed form of auditory communication is,of course,the spoken language.
     The means of communication mentioned so far have two features in common:they last only a short time and the persons involved must be relatively close to each other.Therefore,all are restricted in time and space.

25.The author explains he will deal with reception of communication first becauseD
A.communication actually takes place when the message is received
B.there are more means of receiving than of sending communication
C.reception of communications involves use of the senses
D.it is difficult to classify the means of sending communication
26.Persons who cannot see,hear,or speak are able to communicate through a system ofD.
A.gesturing        B.handshaking        C.backslapping       D.handstriking
27.The author specifically mentions that speech isA.
A.the most developed form of communication based on hearing
B.necessary for satisfactory communication by gesture
C.the only highly developed system of communication
D.often used when communicating by touch
28.The underlined word in the last paragraph meansC.
A.required        B.received         C.limited         D.developed.

分析 本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了为了交流思想和感情信息的接受和发送都是必要的,人体是通过多种感官实现沟通的.

解答 25.D.细节理解题.根据第二段The means of sending communications are too numerous and varied for systematic classification(分类),therefore,the analysis must begin with the means of receiving communication可知作者解释他将首先处理接待的问题,因为通讯发送的形式难以分类;故选D.
26.D.细节理解题.根据第二段Reception of communication is only achieved by our senses.Sight,hearing,and touch play the most important roles可知那些看不见、听不见、说不清的人能够通过人工创造的一个系统来交流;故选D.
27.A.细节理解题.根据第三段The most fully developed form of auditory communication is,of course,the spoken language可知作者特别提到演讲是最发达的基于听觉的沟通方式;故选A.
28.C.词义猜测题.根据最后一段they last only a short time and the persons involved must be relatively close to each other.Therefore,all are restricted in time and space可知它们只持续很短的时间,所涉及的人必须相对较近,因此都受到时间和空间的限制;故选C.

点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.

12.I expect the travel of the future to become less physical,more mental.Through the use of technology,you'll be able to let your brain experience the sensations of a new place without actual going there.Robots and computer simulation(模仿)will enable you to visit remote exotic places without ever leaving home---the wreckage of the Titanic,the Galapagos Island,even the moon.
As an oceanographer,I've spent decades developing robots to explore the depths,and now we're putting that technology to use in our JASON Project,a cooperative effort between industry,science,and educators that's designed to be a world classroom for children.In auditoriums throughout the country,we bring kids together and transmit back to them on large screens our live explorations of far-flung areas of the globe.Not only are the kids observers,but they truly participate.They have the sensation of really being at the site with us---through the"eyes","ears",and motions of the robot.
This year we're taking the project to the Galapagos Islands.The Galapagos are an exceedingly fragile environment,so fragile that only 60,000people are allowed to visit them each year.But with JASON we will be able to let some 300,000children experience those unique islands.
I believe advances in robot technology will one day be the key to an entirely new kind of travel.In the next 10or 15years I foresee people having rooms in their houses that will be able to simulate other environments.I like to call these rooms"home domes"---miniature theatres with wrap-around screens and sophisticated equipment that can reproduce the sights,sounds,smells,and feel of a desert,or a forest,or a meadow in high mountains.
Today,much of the world's population never travels more than 50or 60miles from home.And even a person with abundant wealth and time can see only a fraction of the earth's sights.But this new era of travel will cost so much less in both time and money that many more people will be exposed to a lot more of the globe.And simulated travel will help protect our planet.You can't take large groups of tourists trooping up to look at Dian Fossey's gorillas.But a small robot can get very close to a silverback and send the sights,sounds,and smells back to a million people.
I like to use this analogy(类比)to compare traditional travel with future travel:riding a horse is wonderful,but I don't need to ride one to work anymore.That's how I feel about traditional travel.Sometimes I still might want to hop on a plane and see a place firsthand,but sometimes I may simply want to walk into my home dome and take the trip from there.
58.Which statement best expresses the main idea of this article?C
A.Protecting fragile environments like the Galapagos Islands.
B.Building home domes to meet people's desire of travelling

13.An old Japanese man kept a sparrow(61)ofwhich he was very fond.One day it flew away.He went out(62)looking(look) all over the place for his sparrow.At last,he met his sparrow."I missed you very much,sparrow.Will you follow me home?"(63)Though/Althoughthe sparrow was happy to see the old man,it shook(64)itshead.There were many other birds.They all looked healthy."I am glad you have good companions,dear sparrow."Said the old man.When it was time for the old man (65)to leave(leave),the sparrow gave him a basket as a present."Well,"said the old man's wife (66)angrily(anger) when he returned,"where have you been all day??""I have been to the home of my lost sparrow",(67)replied(reply) he.When he opened the basket he was(68)amazed(amaze) to find it was full of gold.The old woman was very greedy.But the wife used to treat it very badly.She unashamedly asked for a present."Alright",replied the sparrow,"I offer you two(69)choices(choose).One basket is light and the other is heavy.Just choose one.The greedy old woman cried out,"I'll take(70)theheavy one."So the old woman carried the heavy basket breathlessly all the way.But when she arrived home and opened the basket,it was full of stones.
17.Facing increasing pressure to raise students'scores on standardized tests,schools a re urging kids to work harder by offering them obvious encouragements.Happy Meals are at the low end of the scale.With the help of businesses,schools are also giving away cars,iPods,seats to basketball games,and-in a growing number of cases-cold,hard cash.The appeal of such programs is obvious,but the consequences of tying grades to goods are still uncertain.It's been a common tradition in middle-class families to reward top grades with cash as a way to teach that success in school leads to success in life.But for many disadvantaged minority children,the long-term benefits of getting an education are not so clear,according to experts.
No one knows for sure how well cash and other big-ticket rewards work in education in the long run.But there are plenty of concerns that this kind of practice could have negative effects on kids.Virginia Shiller,a clinical psychologist,says that it's worth experimenting with cash encouragements but that tying them to success on a test is not a worthwhile goal."I'd rather see rewards based on effort and responsibility-things that will lead to success in life,"she says.
Even if rewards don't lead to individual achievement on a test,they could have a meaningful effect in the school.Charles McVean,a businessman and philanthropist(慈善家),started a tutoring program,which pays higher-achieving students﹩10 an hour to tutor struggling classmates and divides them into teams.During the course of the year,students bond and compete.The team posting the highest math scores wins the top cash prize of﹩100.McVean calls the combination of peer(同龄人)tutoring,competition,and cash encouragements a recipe for"nothing less than magic".
For its part,the Seminole County Public Schools system in Florida plans to continue its report card encouragement program through the rest of the school year.The local McDonald's restaurants help the poor district by paying the $1,600 cost of printing the report card.Regina Klaers,the district spokeswoman,says most parents don't seem bothered by the Happy Meals rewards."There are many ways we try to urge students to do well,and sometimes it's through the stomach,and sometimes it's the probability of students winning a car,"she says,"One size doesn't fit all."

28.According to the text,it is a common practice for schools toD.
A.offer free meals to students with high scores       
  B.educate students to form a business sense     
C.cooperate with business to improve teaching         
D.tie students'grades to material rewards
29.According to the text,the long-term results of giving students cash as rewards in education areC.
A.negative                          
B.optimistic                    
C.uncertain                    
D.disappointing
30.The tutoring program run by Charles McVeanB.
A.hires some excellent teachers to teach the struggling students
B.has a meaningful effect in inspiring students'enthusiasm on study
C.is a program combining tutoring,competition and future job offers
D.rewards the student with the highest scores with cash prize of $100
31.We can learn that in Seminole CountyA.
A.there are various ways to inspire students to study hard
B.many parents are not satisfied with the Happy Meals rewards
C.the local McDonald's restaurants provide the rewards for poor students
D.people are searching for a good-for-all method to urge students to do well.

14."Every day I make a difference in the life of children."says financier-turned-math teacher Chuck Trader.
For more than two decades Chuck Trader enjoyed a highly successful career in corporate finance,a six-figure salary,and all the bonuses that went with his position.After that,Chuck recognized that he had stopped enjoying his work.To make matters worse,a few MBA graduates were entering the field,solving management problems by reducing the staff rather than by building relationships.With two young children,Chuck and his wife Peggy realized they were missing out get-together time.They expected to find a place called their"forever home"where they could become part of a community and watch their kids grow up in a stable environment."It was time for a change,"he says.
In 2001,Chuck,then 45,quit the job and had it changed.
Today,he is a middle school math teacher in St.Marys,Georgia,a sleepy little coastal town at the southeastern tip of Georgia.The job pays just a little more than $40,000per year.The couple that moved 12times in the first 20years of marriage has now held on to the same zip code (邮编)for a decade and they couldn't be happier.And,to cap it all off, Chuck has been recently named by St.Marys Middle School"Teacher of the Year".
While becoming active in his children's school,Chuck realizes he has found his true calling:teaching."There is no other profession where you have the opportunity to favorably affect the outcomes and the lives of so many young adults,"says Chuck."Teaching is truly an opportunity to invest in the future of our society."
In the classroom,Chuck is able to make lesson plans real by taking advantage of his experience in business.Chuck's students scored a 96percent pass rate on the mathematics portion of the recent statewide student assessment."That is a very difficult achievement for any teacher,"notes Wooden,St.Marys Middle School's principal,"not to mention one who has a large group of students who are considered at risk."

25.Which of the following statements is right?C
A.Chuck used to be an MBA graduate before he started working.
B.Chuck and his wife Peggy once worked in the same company.
C.Before changing work,Chuck got much more income than now.
D.Chuck left the corporation mainly because he found a new job in forever home.
26.Chuck teaches his students at St.Marys Middle School byB.
A.teaching them much knowledge          B.using his work experience
C.making detailed lesson plans         D.making his classes active
27.The underlined words"to cap it all off"in Paragraph 4meanB.
A.to begin his work at the school      B.to make him even happier
C.to encourage him to work better     D.to help him adapt to his school life
28.What is the best title of the text?A
A.From Financier to Teacher      B.Why Chuck Quit Finance
C.How Chuck Teaches Math         D.Chuck Finds a"Forever Home"
