核心考点
试题【In the past, man did not have to think about the protection of his environment. 】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
Let children learn to judge their own. A child who learns 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. Little by little, 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 without being taught—to walk, run, climb, 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 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 answers, 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 in doing such work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.

BEIJING--Alarmed by the overreaching ambitions of many Chinese provinces to grow at all costs, China’s top economic chief is calling on officials to calm down and spare a thought for the environment.
Zhang Ping, who heads China’s National Development and Reform Commission, the central economic planning agency, said only five or six of China’s 30 provinces are targeting annual economic growth of 8 percent or 9 percent.
The remaining provinces are aiming for growth rates of more than 10 percent this year, with some wanting to double economic output in the coming five years.
“China has a planned energy supply of about 4 billion cubic tons of coal equivalent(等量的)for the next five years, and this is not enough to meet demands for economic growth to double,” he was quoted as saying on the news portal Sina.Com.
Beijing is increasingly concerned with the ambitions of Chinese provinces across the country to chase high growth despite the central government’s urgent request for a more moderate and sustainable(可持续的)pace of expansion.
Years of rapid economic growth has taken a toll on China’s environment, with Beijing trying to remove some of the damage now.It has an annual growth target of 7 percent for the next five years, well down from last year’s 10 percent.
Zhang said Beijing has asked local governments to take into account the supply of “energy, environment, water and land” to set more reasonable growth targets.
小题1:Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Many Chinese provinces are alarmed by Beijing.
B.Zhang Ping is an expert and economic chief from www. Sina.Com.
C.The supply of the coal in China is not sufficient(足够的) for the next five years.
D.Few Chinese provinces are aiming for economic growth rates of less than 10%.
小题2:The underlined phrase “taken a toll on” in the sixth paragraph means “_________”.
A.looked forward toB.paid attention to
C.caused damage toD.attached importance to
小题3:The general idea of the whole passage can be that ________.
A.China’s economy is developing
B.China’s top chief places more emphasis on the environment
C.all Chinese provinces should slow down their economic growth rates
D.economic high growth should go hand in hand with environmental protection
小题4:What could be the best title for the news?
A.Economic DevelopmentB.Energy Supply
C.Sustainable DevelopmentD.Environment protection

Whatever field we are involved in,we always have to look for ways to expand our knowledge.An increase in knowledge in a particular subject can lead to a better understanding,grasp,judgment,intelligence and ability in that area.So how do we go about gaining knowledge?
I think people are the biggest source of knowledge for anybody.Right from childhood,we have learned things by watching others.Whatever field you want to gain knowledge in,there must be many who have experience in that field.So make use of this valuable source of information by learning from the experience,success,mistakes and skills of others. Study carefully and associate with people who are experts in the field you want to gain knowledge in.
The next best source of knowledge should be books.There are millions and millions of books in every language and on almost any topic imaginable.Whatever problem you are facing must have been faced by somebody else before,and its solution is likely to have been preserved in the form of a book.If you are serious about gaining knowledge about a topic,then read any book,magazine,article etc.You can lay your hands on the books related to that topic.Read as much as you can.
It is said that experience is a great teacher,so learn from your past experience and the experience of others.Learn from your and others’ past and present achievements as well as mistakes.
Experimenting with new things and observing new things can help you learn very quickly. Keep in mind,though,that while experimenting,you may encounter a few failures , too.Do not become discouraged as failures are a part of the learning curve,especially while attempting something new.Try to earn from failures instead of becoming disheartened.

Imagine that the genome (基因组) is a book.The book consists of 23 chapters with thousands of stories made up of paragraphs, words and letters on different levels.There are one billion words in the book, as long as 800 Bibles; if I read the genome out to you at the rate of one word per second for eight hours a day, it would take me centuries; if I wrote out the human genome, one letter per millimeter, my text would be as long as the River Danube.This is a huge volume, a book of great length, but it all fits inside an extremely small cell nuclear(细胞核) that fits easily upon the head of a pin.
The idea of the genome as a book is not, strictly speaking, even a metaphor.It is true to a great extent.A book is a piece of digital information, written in one-directional form and defined by a code that translates a small alphabet of signs into a large dictionary of meanings through the order of their groupings.So is a genome.The only difference is that all English books read from left to right, while some parts of the genome read from left to right while some from right to left, but never both at the same time.
While English books are written in words of different lengthens using twenty-six letters, genomes are written entirely in words of three-letter length, using only four letters, and instead of being written on flat pages, they are written on long chains of DNA molecules (分子).
The genome is a very clever book, because in the right condition it can both photocopy itself and read itself.
小题1:How do human genomes read according to the passage?___________
A.Only from left to right.
B.Only from right to left.
C.From both directions at the same time.
D.From one direction at a time.
小题2:We can learn from the passage that the human genome ________.
A.is as long as the River Danube
B.can be easily placed on the head of a pin
C.is coded with an alphabet of four letters
D.is smart enough to read and take photos of itself
小题3:It can be concluded that the passage is mainly written for ______.
A.specialists in the field
B.general readers
C.natural scientists
D.readers with professional knowledge
小题4:The real purpose of the author’s comparison of the genome to a book is _____.
A.to focus on the differences between the two
B.to lay emphasis on the similarities between the two
C.to simplify the concept of the human genome
D.to give an exact description of the human genome

What would life be like without rich, creamy, mouthwatering, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate?
Life would be bitter for most Americans. They spend about $13 billion a year buying all sorts of chocolate treats.
However, for the African children who toil under slavelike conditions on cacao plantations, life is not sweet. The cacao bean is the main ingredient in the chocolate. According to a 2002 survey by the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture and the US Agency for International Development, about 284,000 children work in dangerous conditions on cacao farms in western Africa.
More than half those children are younger than 14. Many were sold into forced labor to work 12 hours or more a day on the cacao plantations.
A number of international organizations, including several African governments, recently began a program to eliminate(消除) child labor on cacao plantations. Under the program, government officials will remove children from abusive working situations while teaching farmers about child labor issues.
The program will also make borrowing money easier for cacao farmers. Officials hope farmers will use the money to invest in their farms and hire paid laborers.
小题1:The cacao bean is the main ingredient in _______.
A.treats
B.coffee
C.chocolate
D.cigarettes
小题2:How many children under 14 work on cacao farms in western Africa?
A.About 284,000.
B.About 142,000.
C.About 467,000.
D.About 876,000.
小题3:From the passage, you can reasonably conclude that _______.
A.cacao farms in western Africa rely heavily on child labor
