7．Let children learn to judge their own work．A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time：if corrected too much，he will stop talking．He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use．Bit by bit，he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people's．In the same way，children learn to do all the other things：they learn to do without being taught to walk，run，climb，whistle，ride a bicycle，compare their own performances with those of more skilled people，and slowly make the needed changes．
But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself．We do it all for him．We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him，or correct it unless he was made to．Let him work out，with the help of other children if he wants it，what this word says，what the answer is to that problem，whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not．
If it is a matter of right answer，as it may be in mathematics or science，give him the answer book．Let him correct his own papers．Why should we teachers waste time on such routine （常规） work？Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can't find the way to get the right answer．Let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn，how to measure their own understanding，and how to know what they know or do not know．
24．According to the passage，the best way for children to learn things is byD．
A．listening to skilled people's advice
B．asking older people many questions
C．making mistakes and having them corrected
D．doing what other people do
25．Which of the following does the author think teachers should NOT do？C
A．Give children correct answers．
B．Allow children to make mistakes．
C．Point out children's mistakes to them．
D．Let children mark their own work．
26．According to the author，teachers in school shouldA．
A．allow children to learn from each other
B．point out children's mistakes whenever found
C．give children more book knowledge
D．correct children's mistakes as soon as possible
27．The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle areB．
A．different from learning other skills
B．the same as learning skills
C．more important than other skills
D．not really important skills．

6．The common cold is the world's most widespread illness，which is probably why there are more myths about it than any of the other illnesses．
The most widespread mistake of all is that colds are caused by cold．They are not．They are caused by viruses passing on from person to person．You catch a cold by coming into contact，directly or indirectly，with someone who already has one．If cold causes colds，it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever．But they do not．And in distant and isolated Arctic regions explorers have reposed being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected（感染的）people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes．
At the Common Cold Research Unit in England，volunteers took part in experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long periods of time．After taking hot baths，they put on bathing suits，allowed themselves to be doused（浸入）with cold water，and then stood about dripping wet in drafty（通风的）room．Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to complete tiredness．Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose．
If，then，cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds，why are they more frequent in the winter？Despite the most pains--taking research，no one has yet found the answer．One explanation offered by scientists is that people are more likely to stay together indoors in cold weather than at other times，and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on．
No one has yet found a cure for the cold．There are drugs and pain suppressors（止痛片） such as aspirin，but all they do is to relieve the symptoms．
29．The fact that the Eskimos don't suffer colds shows thatD．
A．colds are really full of myths．
B．viruses are the factors causing colds．
C．colds are more serious than other illnesses．
D．the idea that cold leads to colds doesn't stand up．
30．The experiments mentioned in Paragraph 3made it clear thatA．
A．it was viruses not wet and cold that made people have colds．
B．taking hot baths made the volunteers easy to be tired．
C．being doused with cold water did harm to one's body．
D．people who would like to exercise in the rain got colds more easily．
31．According to the passage，colds are commonly seen in winter becauseA．
A．staying together indoors makes it easier for viruses to pass on．
B．viruses can go into people's warm bodies more easily in winter．
C．there is great difference between indoor and outdoor temperature．
D．People are usually weak because of the extreme cold in winter
32．The passage mainly discussesC．
A．the experiments on colds．
B．the myths about colds．
C．the reason and the way people catch colds．
D．the continued spread of common colds．

5．All hotels redecorate regularly．However，very few do it as frequently as Sweden's Ice hotel．As the name indicates，the hotel that is located in the remote village of Jukkasjarvi，is built entirely from ice and，therefore，has to be rebuilt annually!The 26th version of Ice hotel，which welcomed its first visitors on December 11th，features 69rooms．To make them affordable for everyone，they range from expensive luxury suites to basic accommodations．
Among this year's unique suite offerings is the"Elephant in the Room"，which features a massive 3-m tall sculpted African elephant overlooking an ice-framed bed．The"Counting Sheep"suite features frozen sheep that may help those who don't sleep well get a good night's rest．Though the atmosphere between the luxury suites and the budget rooms may differ，they are all subject to the bone-chilling-5℃temperatures．To get a good night's rest guests have to lie inside sleeping bags and keep their gloves and hats on．Though that seems a little uncomfortable，visitors say it is an experience like none other．
The hotel also features a beautifully crafted ice church where over 100couples will get married this year and an Ice Bar that will serve drinks in ice glasses．Though dining options are limited to the hotel's only restaurant，guests will have little to complain about with Michelin-trained chef Alexander Meier．To keep customers entertained，the hotel offers a variety of fun activities like snowshoeing，moose or snowmobile safaris，dog sledding，and even overnight wilderness camping．
The 26-year-•old tradition began accidentally in 1989when locals organized an art exhibition to draw winter visitors to the remote village that lies 200km north of the Arctic Circle．Among the many tourists was an adventurous group and they announced their intention of spending the night in the place where the exhibition was being held．That's when the idea of building the icy accommodations dawned on the locals．

A．It needs more rooms．
B．It is entirely built from ice．

D．It can be easily decorated．
25．What is unique about the hotel this year？D

26．What can be inferred about the hotel in Paragraph 3？C
A．Its service needs improving．
B．Its activities may be boring．
C．It tries to appeal to customers．
D．Its food is not delicious at all．

4．In America the first newspaper appeared in Boston in 1690．Published without permission，it was immediately banned，and all copies were destroyed．Indeed，it remained forgotten until 1845when the only surviving example was discovered in the British Library．
The first successful newspaper was the Boston News-Letter，begun by John Campbell in 1704．Although it was heavily supported by the government，the experiment was nearly a failure，with the limited number of published newspapers．Two more papers were published in the 1720s，in Philadelphia and New York．Just before the Revolutionary War，some two dozen papers were published in all the colonies（殖民地），although Massachusetts，New York，and Pennsylvania would remain the centers of American printing for many years．Articles in colonial papers were a major force that affected public opinion in America to be fully independent．
When the war ended in 1783there were forty-three newspapers in print．The newspapers played an active role in the affairs of the new nation．Many more newspapers were started，representing all kinds of political opinions，and America's newspapers began to take on a central role in national affairs．Growth continued in every state．By 1814there were 346newspapers．
The price of a year's worth of newspapers was usually over a full week's pay for a worker．It had to be paid in full and in advance．This cheap，interesting reading material helped to make almost everyone in America develop the habit of reading，which is now taken for granted．
32．The main force to affect public opinion in America for America's independence wasC．
A．different kinds of newspapersB．the appearance of more papers
C．the articles in colonial newspapersD．the centers of American printing
33．Why did the author say Boston News-Letter was a successful newspaper？A．
A．Because it was the first newspaper supported by the government．
B．Because it was immediately accepted by the American people．
C．Because it published a large number of newspapers．
D．Because never before was one newspaper published．
34．Why was the first newspaper in America stopped from being published？C．
A．Because no one wanted to buy newspapers at that time．
B．Because only the British Library had the right to publish it．
C．Because it was published without the permission of the government．
D．Because no one in America could read newspapers at that time．
35．What was the situation for newspapers in America after the war ended in 1783？C．
A．They were banned just as before．
B．It was hard to say how they developed．
C．It played a more important part in daily life．

3．On May 3，2002，archaeologists in England found a grave of a man dating back to around 2300BC．Buried with him were the tools of a hunter or warrior．There was a bone pin that may have been from a piece of clothing such as a leather coat．He carried a copper knife on his breast．The most amazing find was two gold earrings．That would have made him a man of distinction．Only a few centimeters from his head were two pots made of clay，tools and materials to make arrows，a bow and a dozen arrows for hunting and a second，smaller copper knife．Next to them lay a cushion stone，upon which the man could work metal．
His grave is the richest of any found from that period，because this man was buried with two gold earrings which are the oldest gold ever found in Britain （dated to 2470BC）．Besides，he was buried three miles from Stonehenge．Archaeologists tend to believe he was a member of a powerful class who might have organized the construction of Stonehenge．
Stonehenge was begun around 3，000BC．In about 2300BC the huge stone circles were built．The biggest stone weighed approximately 20tons．But the smaller blue stones，still weighing 4tons on average，came from west Wales．It is not yet known how these were conveyed over a distance of 380km．It is also a mystery how early man was able to construct Stonehenge without the use of modern construction machines and lorries．
He is an example of people who brought culture and new techniques from the European mainland to Britain．In terms of technical development people were going from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age and then to the Iron Age．
28．Which are not included in the things that are found in the grave of a man？C
A．Tools，a bone pin，a bow and a cushion stone．

2．New York City consists of five boroughs：Manhattan，Brooklyn，Queens，the Bronx and Staten Island．The population is about 7.5million living in Manhattan．Manhattan，the center of the city，is on an island between the Hudson River and the East River．Most of the famous buildings such as the Empire State and the United Nations and other skyscrapers are in Manhattan．Some of its districts are Broadway，which has many theaters and cinemas； Fifth Avenue，with stores and apartments； Greenwich Village，where many artists and writers have lived；and Central Park，with a small zoo and a skating rink．From Manhattan you have to cross to the other boroughs through a tunnel or over a bridge．The bridge from Brooklyn to Staten Island is the longest in the world．
New York is the second largest port in the world and it has two airports：Kennedy International for international flights and La Guardia for flights inside the USA．Its temperature goes from very cold in winter （sometimes twenty degrees below zero） to very hot in summer （sometimes 40centigrade）．The people who live there come from all over the world and speak many different languages：there are 324Germans and 390，000Poles as well as people from Greece，Scotland，Ireland，Hungary，Italy and Romania．People call one district"Little Italy"and another"Chinatown"．

1．The Nobel Prizes in physiology or medicine，physics and chemistry are the most respected prizes in science．But talk to scientists in private，and many will complain why （besides jealousy，perhaps） are some scientists unhappy with the Nobels？
One reason is that the committees can often be slow to recognize achievement．Alfred Nobel specified in his will that the prizes should reward work done in the previous year．But experience soon showed that this was risky，as medals were given out for discoveries that later proved questionable．So a degree of caution is probably advisable．Sometimes，though，it can lead to strange results．Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar，for instance，had to wait until 1983to win a prize for work he had done in the 1930s on the structure of stars．However，Albert Einstein never won a prize for his theory of relativity．Even though some pretty suggestive evidence had been produced by Arthur Eddington in 1919，relativity，which has later passed every experimental test ever thrown at it，was still considered somewhat risky and obscure．
Another criticism concerns the tradition that no more than three people can share a prize．Science is rarely this clear-cut．Take this year's physics prize，which recognised Peter Higgs for predicting the existence of the mass-bestowing particle that now bears his name．Dr Higgs was only one of several people with a claim．Two other teams----Rober Brout and Francois Englert，as well as Gerald Guralnik，Carl Hageh and Tom Kibble-----submitted papers on the same idea to the same journal that published Dr Higgs's work，all within a few months of each other．Science often works like this，with different people coming up with similar ideas at similar times．In the event，the committee decided to honour Dr Engler （Brout is dead，therefore unqualified），whose paper was earlier than Dr Higgs's but did not explicitly predict a particle，over Dr Guralnik and his collaborators，who were more comprehensive but published a few weeks later．
32．According to the passage why some of the scientists are unhappy with the Nobels？D
A．because usually the Nobels award work done in the previous year．
B．just because they envy those who have won the Nobles．
C．because different people often come up with similar ideas at similar times．
D．because the Nobles are quite possibly slow to recognize achievement
33．Who was it that received the Nobel Prize for physics this year？C
A．Carl Hageh and Tom Kibble
B．Gerald Guralnik，Carl Hageh
C．Peter Higgs and Francois Englert
D．Rober Brout and Francois Englert
34．Which of the following words has the closest meaning to"submitted"？C
A．surrendered
B．suggested
C．presented
D．provided
35．The passage is most probably coming fromA？
A．a magazine
B．a book review
C．a literature work
D．a science fiction．
