Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the
passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.      Learning style theory suggests that different people have different ways of obtaining information and use
various methods to demonstrate (证明) their intelligence and ability. Although experts have many ideas and
categories of learning, it is evident that people learn in three basic styles.
     When learning something new, if you prefer to read the information, you are probably a student who
learns through seeing. These learners like to see teacher"s facial expressions and body language clearly and
rend to sit at the front of the classroom. They take detailed notes, think in pictures and can most easily absorb
information from textbooks with diagrams, graphs, photographs and drawings.
     Students who find it easiest to learn a new concept by hearing a teacher explain it are learning through
listening. Reading aloud, using a tape recorder, hearing anecdotes (趣闻) and talking things through are the
best methods for these learners to acquire new information. They give close attention to both the content of
the discussion and the way that things are said, such as how the sound of the voice and speed of speech
show the mood of the speaker.
     Learning through doing means being active in exploring the environment and finding out about things by
moving and touching. Students who have this learning style take a hands-on approach to education and enjoy
experiments or surveys. They do not like to sit still for long periods of time and sometimes find it hard to
concentrate when reading or listening.
     Teachers study people"s various ways of learning as part of their training. They select a variety of
activities to suit their students" different learning styles. However, restrictions of time, space and resources
often make it impossible for teachers to provide the best exercises for all learners. If you are aware of you
own learning style, there is a lot you can do personally to improve your study skills and find the most
appropriate ways to approach your study tasks. As a result, you will be able to manage your own learning
and study more effectively.

passage and the required words limit.
     Even plant can run a fever, especially when they"re under attack by insects or disease. But unlike human,
plants can have their temperature taken from 3,000 feet away straight up. A decade ago, adopting the infrared
(红外线) scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites, physicist Stephen Paley
came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress. The
goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide (***虫剂) spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field,
which invariably includes plants that don"t have pest (害虫) problems.
     Even better, Paley"s Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became
visible to the eye. Mounted on a plane flown at 3,000 feet at night, an infrared scanner measured the heat sent
out by crops. The data were transformed into a color-coded map showing where plants were running "fevers".
Farmers could then spot-spray, using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide that they otherwise would.
     The bad news is that Paley"s company closed down in 1984, after only three years. Farmers resisted the
new technology and long-term backers were hard to find. But with the renewed concern about pesticides on
produce, and refinements (改进) ininfrared scanning, Paley hopes to get back into operation. Agriculture
experts have no doubt the technology works."This technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land
in the United States," says George Oerther of Texas A& M, who recently retired from the Department of
Agriculture, thinks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade. But only if Paley
finds the financial backing which he failed to obtain 10 years ago.

     It could not have been easy to see the tiny swimmer, but a group of scientists claimed to have discovered
the world"s tiniest fish. The little creature was found recently in an Indonesian swamp (沼泽).
     For now, the fish is known as Paedocypris progenetica. It has a transparent, or see-through, body. Its head
doesn"t have a skeleton (骨架), leaving its brain vulnerable (脆弱的) to its surroundings. The fish, which is
female (雌性的), can grow to be only 7.9 millimeters or (0.31 inches) long, about the size of a large mosquito
(蚊子).
     Maurice Kottelat, a fish expert from Sweden, led the team of researchers that made the discovery. Kottelat
and his team reported their discovery in the Proceedings of the Royal Society, a British scientific journal.
     "You don"t wake up in the morning and think today we will find the smallest fish in the world," said Kottelat
in an interview. He and his team were most excited by the possibility of having discovered the world"s smallest
vertebrate. "What"s important is finding a complete backbone in a body so small," said Kottelat. All fish, reptiles
(爬行动物), birds, and mammals (including humans) are vertebrates.
     It wasn"t long after Kottelat"s announcement that another researcher challenged the claim with a discovery
of his own. Fish expert Ted Pietsch, a researcher at the University of Washington, says that he has discovered
a fish that is smaller than Kottelat"s discovery.
     According to Pietsch, the male Photocorynus spiniceps is a tiny ocean fish measuring only about a quarter
inch. That would actually make Pietsch"s fish the world"s smallest vertebrate. Kottelat"s would come in at a
close second. When Pietsch got in touch with Kottelat to mention the fish, four of which he keeps in his office-
Kottelat did not argue. He kindly gave the title of "world"s smallest vertebrate" over to Pietsch"s unique fish.
     "So our little fish is only the smallest freshwater vertebrate," Kottelat wrote. "Now I wait until the next
smallest fish is discovered."
1. Pietsch"s fish is shorter than Kottlelat"s by about _____.
[     ]
A. 0.01 inches
B. 0.06 inches
C. 0.1 inches
D. 0.31 inches
2. The underlined word "vertebrate" probably means "_____".
[     ]
A. a creature in an ocean
B. a fish in fresh water
C. an animal that can swim
D. an animal with a backbone
3. Which statement is TRUE according to the text?
[     ]
A. Kottlelat"s fish still keeps the record of the smallest fresh water vertebrate so far.
B. Pietsch"s record of discovery of the world"s smallest fish was soon broken by others.
C. Kettlelat didn"t admit that Pietsch"s fish was even smaller than his.
D. All fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds and humans share the same ancestor.
4. Which question doesn"t seem to be answered so far according to the text?
[     ]
A. Is fish a vertebrate animal?
B. What"s the world"s smallest fish indeed?
C. What is the smallest freshwater vertebrate?
D. What size is Pietsch"s fish?

     In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child"s acquisition (学会) of each new skill in the
first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to
hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of
worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young
child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other
hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural
enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself. 
     Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in
money matters. Others are severe (严格的) over time of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In
general, the controls represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child"s
own happiness.
     As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency (一致性) is very important
in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality (道德). Also,
parents should realize that "example is better than precept". If they are not sincere and do not practice what they
preach (说教), their children may grow confused when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and
realize they have been to some extent fooled.
     A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents" principles (原则) and their morals can be
a dangerous disappointment.
1. Eagerly watching the child"s acquisition of new skills _____.
[     ]
A. should be avoided
B. is universal among parents
C. sets up dangerous states of worry in the child
D. will make the child lose interest in learning new things
2. In the process of children"s learning new skills, parents _____.
[     ]
A. should encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they read
B. should expect a lot of the children
C. should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their own.
D. should create as many learning opportunities as possible
3. The second paragraph mainly tells us that _____.
[     ]
A. parents should be strict with their children
B. parental controls reflect only the values of the community
C. parental restrictions vary, and are not always for the benefit of the children alone
D. it"s parents" and society"s duty to control the children
4. The word "precept" in Paragraph 3 probably means "_____".
[     ]
A. opinion
B. punishment
C. behavior
D. instruction
5. In terms of moral matters, parents should _____.
[     ]
A. follow the rules themselves
B. be aware of the huge difference between adults and children
C. forbid their children to do anything
D. always ensure the security of their children

     You have been badly injured in a car accident. It is necessary to give you a blood transfusion because you
lost a great deal of blood in the accident. However, special care must be taken in selecting new blood for you.
If the blood is too different from your own, the transfusion could kill you.
     There are four basic types of blood; A, B, AB, and O. A simple test can make sure of a person"s blood type.
Everybody is born with one of these four types of blood. Blood type, like hair color and height, is received from
parents.
     The four groups must be transfused carefully. A and B cannot be mixed. A and B cannot receive AB, but
AB may receive A or B. O can give to any other group; therefore, it is often called the universal donor (万能捐
赠者). For the opposite reason, AB is sometimes called the universal recipient (接受者). However, because so
many reactions (反应) can happen in transfusions (输血), patients usually receive only salt of plasma (liquid
part of blood) until their blood can be matched as exactly as possible in the blood bank of a hospital. In this
way, it is possible to prevent the transfusion from any bad reactions.
1. People with type A blood can receive type _____.
[     ]
A. AB
B. B
C. O
D. all of the three
2. If you need a blood transfusion, the best and safest blood for you is _____.
[     ]
A. a mixture of type A and type B
B. a mixture of salt, plasma and type O
C. type AB
D. exactly the same type as your own
3. The phrase "universal recipient" means a person who _____.
[     ]
A. can receive blood of type A or B
B. can receive blood of any other type
C. can give blood to anybody
D. cannot give blood to others
4. A good title for this article is _____.
[     ]
A. Getting Enough Blood
B. Differences Between Blood Types
C. Man"s Four Types of Blood
D. How to Give Blood Transfusion
5. Which of the following statement is NOT true?
[     ]
A. Carelessness in a blood transfusion may lead to death.
B. AB is the mixture of A and B.
C. AB is called the universal recipient because it can receive any other group.
D. In transfusions, patients usually receive only salt of plasma at first.
