I walked on and soon found the cause a little taxi that had got stuck in the middle of the road. There was sweat on the drivers face as he tried to start the engine again and again nothing happened. "No petrol," I said to myself and then found myself getting angry. "Why doesnt the fool move his taxi to the side?" I thought, so did all the others who honked and shouted.He got up tiredly, and the passenger in the taxi got out. He was a young man in a white shirt, who watched the driver try to push it to the side. "Stupid guy!" I said. "Cant he lend a helping hand? "I watched as the poor driver pushed it to the side. Cars, buses and trucks went past cursing (咒罵 ) the poor man. The young man took another taxi and went off.The taxi driver began mending his taxi. "Stupid passenger!" I said to him. "He didnt help you!" The taxi driver slowly got up. "Sir!" he asked, "Did you?" I looked at him guiltily, then looked away, and walked away fast, asking myself, "Did I help the poor man push his taxi?"What had I been doing as the traffic jam took place? How had I helped deal with the problem? Did I help the poor man push his taxi? Id done my bit, with my mouth. But never had I moved to solve the problem. I was shocked with guilt as I heard him asking, "Sir! Did you?"21. Why did a traffic jam happen on the road when the author was walking to the park?A. There was too much traffic in the street.B. Truck drivers attempted to go ahead of others.C. taxi driver couldnt start his engine.D. young man wasnt good at driving.22 The authors attitude toward the passenger is that of _.A. angerB. respect C. sympathy D. guilt23. Why did the author feel guilty?A. Because he blamed the driver wrongly.B. Because he didnt help the driver, either.C. Because he tried to help but failed in the end.D. Because he didnt persuade the passenger to help.24. From the incident, the author learnt a lesson that we should_.A. criticize those who dont helpB. hurt the self-respect of others no moreC. think more of those who are in needD. stop talking and start to helpBMy students often tell me that they dont have “enough time” to do all their schoolwork.My reply is often a brief “You have as much time as the president.” I usually carry on a bit about there being twenty-four hours in the day for everyone, and suggest that “not enough time” is not an acceptable explanation of not getting something done.Once in graduate school, I tried to prove to one of my professors by saying that I was working hard. His answer to me was, “Thats irrelevant (無關(guān)的). Whats important is the quality of your work.” Since then I have had time to think carefully about the “hard worker” dodge (訣竅), and I have e to some conclusions all relevant to the problem of how much time we have.If you analyze the matter, you can identify two parts of the problem: There is, of course, the matter of “time”, which we can think of as fixed. Then there is the problem of “work” during that time. But, as my professor suggested, its not how hard one works but the quality of the product thats important.That led me to a new idea: the quality of the work. That concept is perhaps best explained by a sign I once saw on the wall in someones office: “Dont work harder. Work smarter.” There is a lot of sense in that idea.If you cant get more time, and few of us can, the only solution is to improve the quality of the work. That means thinking of ways to get more out of the same time than we might otherwise get. That should lead us to an analysis of our work habits. Since “work” for students usually means “homework”, the expression “work habits” should be read as “study habits”.Then, as a smart student, you will seek to improve those skills that you use in study, chiefly reading and writing. If you learn to read better and write better, there are big benefits that pay off in all your studies.25. From the passage, we know that the author is probably _ .A. a poetB. an educatorC. a novelistD. an engineer26. We can infer from the 2nd paragraph that we students still _ .A. have enough time B. can meet the presidentC. get everything done well D. should accept the explanation27. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The authors students make good use of their time to do all their homework.B. The author tried to tell the professor that he/she (author) had done a good job.C. You cant improve the quality of the work if you cant get more time.D. Youll try to improve your skills in reading and writing if youre a clever student.28. Whats the passage mainly about?A. Students dont have enough time. B. Dont work harder; work smarter.C. No one can get more time. D. Read better and write better.CTake a look at the following list of numbers: 4, 8, 5, 3, 7, 9, 6. Read them loud. Now look away and spend 20 seconds memorizing them in order before saying them out loud again. If you speak English, you have about a 50% chance of remembering those perfectly. If you are Chinese, though, youre almost certain to get it right every time. Why is that? Because we most easily memorize whatever we can say or read within a two-second period. And unlike English, the Chinese language allows them to fit all those seven numbers into two seconds.That example es from Stanislas Dahaenes book The Number Sense. As Dahaene explains: Chinese number words are remarkably brief. Most of them can be spoken out in less than one-quarter of a second (for instance, 4 is “si” and 7 “qi”). Their English pronunciations are longer. The memory gap between English and Chinese apparently is entirely due to this difference in length. It turns out that there is also a big difference in how number-naming systems in Western and Asian languages are constructed. In English, we say fourteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen and nineteen, so one might expect that we would also say oneteen, twoteen, threeteen, and fiveteen. But we dont. We use a different form: eleven, twelve, thirteen and fifteen. For numbers above 20, we put the “decade” first and the unit number second (twenty-one, twenty-two), while for the teens, we do it the other way around (fourteen, seventeen, eighteen). The number system in English is highly irregular. Not so in China, Japan, and Korea. They have a logical counting system. Eleven is ten-one. Twelve is ten-two. Twenty-four is two-tens-four and so on.That difference means that Asian children learn to count much faster than American children. Four-year-old Chinese children can count, on average, to 40. American children at that age can count only to 15. By the age of five, in other words, American children are already a year behind their Asian friends in the most fundamental of math skills.The regularity of their number system also means that Asian children can perform basic functions, such as addition, far more easily. Ask an English-speaking seven-year-old to add thirty-seven plus twenty-two in her head, and she has to change the words to numbers (37+22). Only then can she do the math: 2 plus 7 is 9 and 30 and 20 is 50, which makes 59. Ask an Asian child to add three-tens-seven and two-tens-two, and then the necessary equation(等式) is right there, in the sentence. No number translation is necessary: its five-tens-nine.When it es to math, in other words, Asians have a built-in advantage. For years, students from China, South Korea, and Japan - outperformed their Western classmates at mathematics, and the typical assumption is that it has something to do with a kind of Asian talent for math. The differences between the number systems in the East and the West suggest something very different - that being good at math may also be rooted in a groups culture.29. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The Asian number-naming system helps grasp advanced math skills better.B. Western culture fail to provide their children with adequate number knowledge.C. Children in Western countries have to learn by heart the learning things.D. Asian childrens advantage in math may be sourced from their culture.30. What makes a Chinese easier to remember a list of numbers than an American?A. Their understanding of numbers.B. Their mother tongue.C. Their math education.D. Their different IQ.31. Asian children can reach answers in basic math functions more quickly because _.A. they pronounce the numbers in a shorter periodB. they practice math from an early ageC. they dont have to translate language into numbers firstD. American children can only count to 15 at the age of fourDWhat makes humans smarter than other animals? Weve got a bigger brain, of course. But when it es to brains, is bigger always better? Traditionally, scientists have thought that human superior intelligence derived(源于)mostly from the fact that our brains are three times bigger than those of our nearest living relatives, chimpanzees. People even used to believe that because men have slightly larger brains than women that men are smarter. This, however, is not the truth. Scientists at University College London in the UK have found that brain organization, and not brain size, is the key to the superiority of human intelligence, reported Live Science. Through millions of years of evolution, our ancestors were constantly pushed to get smarter so that they could meet the demands of new environments. However, holding this growing intelligence in increasingly large brains was not the best choice because bigger brains require more energy to power. “This is when reorganization may e into play, ”said Christophe Soligo, a member of the London research team. In the study, scientists looked at the brains of 17 species of primates(靈長目動(dòng)物), including monkeys, apes and humans. They found that in the process of evolution, brains didnt keep growing as a whole. Certain regions of the brain grew prior to others in response to species needs, and in this way they could make the best use of their limited brain space. For example, when early humans were struggling to survive, the brain region in charge of using tools and finding food grew in size more than other regions. But in modern times, the prefrontal cortex(前額皮質(zhì))the region in charge of social cognition (認(rèn)知), moral judgments and goal-directed planninggrew more than the rest of the brain. Think of the brain as a room. If a big room is poorly organized, it doesnt necessarily store more stuff than a smaller one. Paul Manger, professor at the University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa, explains this principle using the example of whales. He told Scientific American: “Whales have big brains, absolutely. But if you look at the actual structure of the brain, its not very plex. Brain size only matters if the rest of the brain is organized properly. ”32.It has recently been found that humans are smarter than the other animals mainly because. A. they are a species of primatesB. they have much larger brainsC. their brain structure is more plexD. they were constantly pushed to get smarter33. According to the article, in recent human evolution, . A. the brain kept growing in size to adapt to new environmentsB. most regions of the brain didnt changeC. the prefrontal cortex grew more than the rest of the brainD. humans brains became increasingly simple so that humans could survive34. What can we conclude from the article? A. Gender makes a difference in intelligence. B. The size of the brain has nothing to do with intelligence. C. Species whose brain is organized properly tend to be smarter. D. Larger brains are usually organized better than smaller ones. 35. The method the writer uses to develop the last paragraph is. A. by presenting research dataB. by giving examplesC. by making a parisonD. by analyzing cause and effect第二節(jié) （共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分）根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中的兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。Being organized is an important skill for school and lifeWhen youre well organized，you can stay focused，instead of spending time hunting things down 36 For schoolwork，it means having one notebook or place where you store all your assignments，so you know what you have to do and whenKeeping labeled folders(貼有標(biāo)簽的文件夾)for handouts(課堂講義)and keeping all your school work neat and in a specific place-these are the main parts of organization For home stuff，being organized means having a place to put your things and putting them back as you go 37 It means keeping your schoolbag，your shoes，and your clean underwear in the same places so you always know where to find themPlanning is part of being organized，too 38 Calendars，lists，and schedules can help you planYou can buy or draw a calendar and keep it near your workplaceMaking a schedule or “to-do” list for yourself is a good ideaLooking at your list helps you keep track of what you need to do 39 Check off things when youve done themUse your list to help you decide which thing is the most important to work on first 40 But once youre organized，it feels greatThe less time you spend hunting around for things or panicking about homework，the more time you have for better things，like reading a good book or playing APlanning means deciding what you will do and when you will do it BFirst，you should get your schoolwork organized CAdd new things as you get assignments DYou will benefit a lot from a good habit EWhat does it mean to be organized?
