people who know a lot about fish say it"s one of the best-tasting kinds of fish in the world to
eat. Maybe that"s one reason why it costs so much to buy pompano (鲳参鱼) at the fish market
or at a restaurant.
Agricultural Research Service scientists in Florida are discovering many new and important
secrets about this tasty fish. It lives in the warm waters off the Atlantic and Gulf coasts.
The scientists are studying pompano. Because they want fish farmers to be able to grow
them in big tanks, somewhat the same way trout and catfish are grown in big outdoor ponds.
Raising pompano in big tanks inland could help everyone be sure that there will always be
lots of wild pompano in the sea. People could buy them from the fish farm instead of mostly only
being able to buy pompano caught from the sea.
Sometimes, if a fish is too popular, a problem called "overfishing" can happen. The fish could
become harder and harder to find in the ocean. The fish might even disappear completely.
The trouble with pompano is that no one really knows very much about how to grow big,
healthy pompano in big tanks at a fish farm.
That"s why scientists are trying to learn as much as they can about pompano. Maybe someday
soon it will be easy to buy and eat pompano raised at fish farms, instead of pompano fished from
the sea. When that happens, you may remember this story about these scientists who helped find
out how to raise delicious pompano in a new, Earth-friendly way.
B. it cannot be raised in big tanks inland.
C. it"s the best-tasting kinds of fish in the world.
D. it lives warmly off the Atlantic and Gulf coasts.
B. prevents people catching pompano from the sea
C. stops people buying pompano caught from the sea
D. helps make sure wild pompano will remain in the sea
B. 太受欢迎
C. 完全消失
D. 难以搜寻
B. It"s almost a secret to farm the fish.
C. it"s impossible to keep the fish healthy.
D. no one knows the way of raising the fish.
B. secrets of the big fish
C. A challenge: growing the big fish
D. the way of raising the big fish

time at home than in the classroom. Therefore the great influence of parents can"t be ignored or discounted by the teacher. They can become strong supports of the school or they can consciously or unconsciously
prevent the school from accomplishing its aims.
Administrators have been aware of the need to keep parents apprised of the newer methods used
in schools. Many principals have conducted workshops explaining such matters as the reading readiness
program and developmental math.
Moreover, the classroom teacher can also play an important role in explaining to parents what they
should do. The informal tea and the many interviews carried on during the year, as well as new ways of
reporting pupils" progress, can significantly aid the interchanged of ideas between school and home.
Suppose that a father has been drilling Junior in arithmetic processes night after night. In a friendly
interview, the teacher can help the parent change his method. He might be persuaded to let Junior
participate in discussing the family budget, buying the food, using a measuring cup at home, setting the
clock, calculating mileage on a trip and engaging in scores of other activities that have a mathematical
basis.
If the father follows the advice, it is reasonable to assume that he will soon realize his son is making
satisfactory progress in math and at the same time, enjoying the work.
Too often, however, teachers" conferences with parents are devoted to unimportant accounts of
children"s wrongdoing, complaints about laziness and poor work habits, and suggestions for punishments
and rewards at home.
What is needed is a more creative approach in which the teacher, as a professional advisor, plants
ideas in parents" minds for the best use of the many hours that the child spends out of the classroom. In
this way, the school and the home join forces in fostering the fullest development of youngsters"
competence.
B. know
C. design
D. develop
B. To explain to parents the change of the school curriculum.
C. To report students’ misdoings and suggestions for punishments.
D. To help develop good communication between school and home.
B. To show how the teacher can guide in home training.
C. To prove parents all non professional advisors.
D. To advice parents to teach kids math at home.
B. is worried about children’s performance at home
C. is satisfied with the present state of school education
D. believes time spent out of the classroom has been wasted
necessarily better.
"Until now most of the thinking has suggested that to be a good competitor in the forest,
you have to be a big plant," says Queen"s Biology professor Lonnie Aarssen. "But our research
shows it"s virtually the other way around."
Previous studies showed that larger plant species monopolize(垄断) sunlight, water and
Other resources, limiting the number of smaller plant species that can exist around them. But
the research has proved that this is not generally the case in natural vegetation.
In the Queen"s project, PhD student Laura Keating targeted the largest "host plants" of 16
woody plant species growing in the Okanogan Valley, British Columbia. The research team
calculated the number and variety of plants that neighbored each large host plant. They then
randomly selected plots without host plants and calculated the plant species there as well. The
research showed that the massive trees have no effect on the number of species with which they
coexist.
Smaller plants have many advantages over their overbearing neighbors, Professor Aarssen
notes. Larger species generate physical space niches(生态位)under their shelters where smaller
species grow well. Smaller plants are much more effective than large trees at using available
resources. They also produce seeds at a much younger age and higher rate than their bigger
counterparts, and settle down much more quickly-thus competing with the newly-born plants
of larger species.
B. In the plant world, the bigger is better than the smaller one.
C. To be a good competitor in the forest, you have to be a small plant.
D. Queen"s University"s students made a new research.
B. larger plant species limit their smaller neighbors" growth
C. small plant species have their own advantages
D. large and small plant species can never coexist.
B. surround together
C. evolve together
D. live together
a. Randomly selected plots without host plants and-calculated the plant species.
b. Calculated the number and variety of plants that neighbored each large host plant.
c. Selected the largest individuals or "host plants" of 16 woody plant species.
B. c, b, a
C. b, c, a
D. a, c, b
B. Smaller plants can limit the number of plant species around them.
C. Smaller plants produce seeds at a higher rate than their bigger counterparts.
D. Larger trees are more effective than small plants at using available resources.

Since many of you are planning to study at a college or university in this country, you may be curious
to know what you usually do in a typical week, bow you can get along with your fellow students, and so
on. These are the questions I want to discuss with you today.
First, let"s talk about what your weekly schedule will look like. No matter what your major may be,
you can expect to spend between four and six hours a week for each class attending lectures. Lectures
are usually in very large rooms because some courses such as introduction to sociology or economics
often have as many as two or three hundred students, especially at large universities. In lectures, it"s very
important for you to take notes on what the professor says because the information in a lecture is often
different from the information in your textbooks. Also, you can expect to have exam questions based on
the lectures. So it isn"t enough to just read your textbooks; you have to attend lectures as well. In a
typical week you will also have a couple of hours of discussion for every class you take. The discussion
section is a small group meeting usually with fewer than thirty students where you can ask questions about
the lectures, the reading, and the homework. In large universities, graduate students, called teaching
assistants, usually direct discussion sections.
If your major is chemistry, or physics, or another science, you"ll also have to spend several hours a
week in the lab, or laboratory, doing experiments. This means that science majors spend more time in the
classroom than non-science majors do. On the other hand, people who major in subjects like literature or history usually have to read and write more than science majors do.
| Purpose of the text | To help the students learn about (1)______ life |
| Things that students usually do in a typical week | (2)_____ lectures having (3)_____ for every class doing (4)____ in the lab if you (5)____ in science. |

| Research has shown that music has an important effect on one"s body and psyche (心灵). In fact, there is a growing field of health care known as music therapy, which uses music to treat diseases. Even hospitals are beginning to use music therapy. This is not surprising, as music affects the body and mind in many powerful ways. Research has shown that quick music can make a person feel more alert, while slow music can produce a calm, deep thinking state. Also, research has found that music can change brainwave activity levels. This can help the brain to change speeds more easily on its own as needed, which means that music can bring lasting benefits to your state of mind, even after you"ve stopped listening. Breathing and heart rates can also be influenced by music. This can mean slower breathing, slower heart rate. This is why music and music therapy can help reduce the damaging effects of long-term stress, greatly promoting (促进) not only relaxation, but health. Music can also be used to bring about a more positive state of mind by helping to keep worries away. Music has also been found to bring many other benefits, such as lowering blood pressure and reducing the risk of strokes. It is no surprise that so many people are considering music as an important tool to help the body become or stay healthy. | |
