California. "Some of them are building solar collectors for their energy course." These young scientists
are part of City Building Educational Program (CBEP), a particular program for kindergarten through
twelfth grade that uses the stages of city planning to teach basic reading, writing and math skills, and
more.
The children don"t just plan any city. They map and analyze (分析) the housing, energy, and
transportation requirements of their own district and foretell its needs in 100 years. With the aid of an
architect (建筑师) who visits the classroom once a week, they invent new ways to meet these needs
and build models of their creations. " Designing building of the future gives children a lot of freedom,"
says the teacher who developed this program."They are able to use their own rich imagination and
inventions without fear of blame, because there are no wrong answers in a future context. In fact, as
the class enters the final model-building stage of the program, an elected "official" and "planning group"
make all the design decisions for the model city, and the teacher steps back and becomes an adviser."
CBEP is a test of activities, games and imitations that teach the basic steps necessary for
problem-solving: observing, analyzing, working out possible answers, and judging them based on the
children"s own standards.
B. to train young scientists for city planning
C. to develop children"s problem-solving abilities
D. to help young architects know more about designing
B. to discuss with the teacher
C. to give children lectures
D. to help kids with their program
B. An architect
C. A teacher
D. A scientist
B. they have new ideas and rich imagination
C. they are given enough time to design models
D. they need not worry about making mistakes

shade, they are also watching the sky to see what is flying by, and even in the heat of the day they will
suddenly start up and run a mile across the plains to find out what is going on. If another animal has made
a kill, they will drive it off and take the dill for themselves. A grown lion can easily eat 60 pounds of meat
at a single feeding. Often they eat until it seems painful for them to lie down.
The lioneases (母狮), being thinner and faster, are better hunters (猎手) than the males (雄狮). But the
males don"t mind. After the kill they move in and take the test share.
Most kills are made at night or just before daybreak. We have seen many, many daylight attempts but
only ten kills. Roughly, It"s about twenty daytime attempts for one kill.
When lions are hiding for an attack by a water hole, they wait patiently and can charge at any second.
The kill is the exciting moment in the day-to-day life of the lion, since these great animals spend most of
their time, about 20 hours a day, sleeping and resting.
Lions are social cats, and when they are having a rest, they love to touch each other. After drinking at
a water hole, a lioness rests her head on another"s back. When walking, young lions often touch faces with
older ones, an act of close ties imong members of the group.
B. are clever animals
C. like to take advantage of other animals
D. like to take every chance to eat
B. Males care more about eating than active killing.
C. Lions are curious about things happening around them.
D. It doesn"t take lions too much time to make a kill.
B. They look after each other well.
C. They readily share what they have.
D. They enjoy each other"s company.
B. Lions at Work and Play
C. Lions, Social Cats
D. Lions, Skilled Hunters
They must be ready for immediate use when fire breaks out. Most portable (手提式的) kinds operate
for less than a minute, so they are useful only on small fires. The law requires ships, trains, buses and
planes to carry extinguishers.
Since fuel, oxygen (氧气) and heat must be present in order for fire to exist, one or more of these
things must be removed or reduced to extinguish a fire. If the heat is reduced by cooling the material
below a certain temperature, the fire goes out. The cooling method is the most common way to put out
a fire. Water is the best cooling material because it is low in cost and easy to get.
Another method of extinguishing fire is by cutting off the oxygen. This is usually done by covering
the fire with sand, steam or some other things. A blanket may be used do cover a small fire.
A third method is called separation, which includes removing the fuel, or material easy to burn, from
a fire, so that it can find no fuel.
The method that is used to put out a fire depends upon the type of fire. Fires have been grouped in
three classes. Fires in wood, paper, cloth and the like are called Class A fires. These materials usually help
keep the fire on. Such fires can be stopped most readily by cooling with water.
B. Water
C. A blanket.
D. An extinguisher.
B. reducing the heat
C. removing the fuel
D. cutting off the oxygen
B. how it comes about
C. what kind it is
D. where it takes place
B. Another type of extinguishers
C. How fires break out.
D. How fires can be prevented.
wonder appears to be strange: The fatter the bird, tile better it flies.
The results of their study led to a theory opposite to a central one of aerodynamics (空气动力学),
which says that the power needed to fly increases with weight.
For birds, obviously, the cost of flying with heavy fat is much smaller than we used to think.
Researchers found that red knot wading birds double their normal body weight of 100 grams before
making their twice-a-year nonstop flight between the British Isles and the Russian Arctic. Distance:
5,000 kilometers.
Another study in the magazine Nature measured the advantage of flying in an aerodynamic group
which allows birds to save energy by flying smoothly and quietly in the lead bird" s air stream.
Flying in groups, their heart rates were 14.5 percent lower than flying alone, according to Henri,
a French scientist. The findings help explain how birds complete difficult migrations. Researchers had
thought that thinner, stronger birds would have the best chance to survive.
The first study suggests that building up fat to be burnt as fuel during the migration is worth more
than the energy it takes to carry the additional weight.
In the study, researchers said their team studied the birds flown at different body weights during
28 simulated (模拟的) flights. They forced a small amount of special water into the birds" bodies so
that they could measure the amount of energy burnt during the flight.
B. 100 grams
C. 150 grams
D. 200 grams
B. alone
C. in groups
D. in pairs
B. weaker
C. thinner
D. fatter
B. Birds Fatten Up For Journey
C. How Birds Build Up Fat For Journey
D. How Birds Burn Energy For Journey
are very different from the sort of teaching most often used in schools and colleges.
In seminars you will be taught with discussion focusing on a text or topic set in advance in a friendly
and informal atmosphere. The purpose is to provide an opportunity to try out new ideas and to think
through difficulties with fellow- learners. Students develop friendships through groups, as well as learning
more about other people"s ideas. You can also know your tutors as an individual rather than a face at the
end of the room.
Lectures are the most formal. There may be over a hundred in the audience and the lecture Mil last about
fifty minutes. The value of the lecture is that it can present to a large number of people information which
is not readily available in books, that it can give you an opportunity to hear a specialist develop a coherent
(有条理的) argument, and that it can show visual material to a wide audience.
Your typical week"s work will feel strange after school or college since there are fewer timetabled
teaching hours. Each week in the first year you may attend about six lectures and four to six seminars or
tutorials (辅导). For the rest of the time you are working on your own, doing the necessary reading in
preparation for tutorials or writing seminar papers. When writing an essay or carrying out project work,
you can often discuss with your tutor about the title and topic.
B. to persuade you to try out new ideas
C. to stress the importance of discussion
D. to make you believe that seminar is more helpful
B. to learn more about other people"s ideas
C. to offer a chance to discuss with a specialist
D. to present to students information not found in books
B. you may give lectures and seminars
C. you may have fewer timetabled teaching hours
D. you may write seminar papers with fellow-learners
B. lecture is better than seminar
C. seminar is more formal than lecture
D. lecture is more formal than seminar
(环保局), there is no way to stop all flooding--sooner or later nature will produce something that will
beat even the strongest defences.
Warning people of tiffs danger is very important if we are to prevent the great loss of life seen
fifty-three years ago. Indeed if the Flood Waming System that currently exists had been around on that
cold, stormy night in January 1953, many lives would have been spared.
The Environment Agency took over the role of flood warning in 1995 from the police who had to go
door to door or sound alarms to get the news out. The service is being constantly improved and a
combination of better technology and increased investment following the Easter Floods of 1998 has led to
the creation of Floodline and an automatic (自动) messaging system that can warn thousands of people in
very little time.
Floodline 0845 988 1188 offers information and advice 24 hours a day and if warnings are in place,
callers can get information either from local updates or by using a quick dial code for their area.
The Flood Warning team in Kent has also sent letters to the people living close to the rivers or the sea
and invited them to join the AVM (automated voice messaging) system. Anyone choosing to take up this
free service will receive a recorded message directly to their home, business or pager telling them of tile
level of warning, giving them as much time as possible to carry out their flood plan and save items that
cannot be replaced if lost or damaged, such as photographs or children"s favorite toys.
a. Many people lost their lives in the flood in 1953.
b. The Flood Warning system was already in use in 1953.
e. Flood defences can stop all flooding.
d. The Environment Agency began to warn people of flood ill 1995.
e. Floodline was created after the Easter Floods of 1998.
B. b, c, d
C. a, c, e
D. a, d, e
B. A piece of equipment designed to receive and show messages.
C. A page of papers written to offer messages.
D. A person, invited to write pages of messages.
B. Floodline 0845 988 1188
C. the Flood Warning team in Kent
D. automated voice messaging system
B. Technology In Flood Defences
C. Flood Warning System
D. Easter Floods
