During a research experiment a marine(海洋) biologist placed a shark into a large holding tank and then released several small fish into the tank. 【1】_______

The marine biologist then inserted a strong piece of clear fiberglass（玻璃纖維）into the tank, creating two separate parts. She then put the shark on one side of the fiberglass and a new set of small fish on the other.

試題分析: 本文主要通過一位海洋生物學家做的關于鯊魚攻擊玻璃纖維的實驗來說明人們往往和鯊魚一樣，在遇到阻礙時，嘗試幾次沒有成功就放棄了，但是當阻礙沒有了，人們還是沒有繼續(xù)前進，因為人們往往把一些不存在的阻礙當成是阻礙。

【1】G 考查對上下文語境的理解�？涨暗囊馑际牵汉Ｑ笊飳W家把一些鯊魚放到大的水缸里，把一些小魚也放到水缸里。所以這里選G（正如你所預料的那樣，鯊魚很快的在水缸周圍游，攻擊并且吃小魚。）與上下文一致。

【2】D 考查對上下文語境的理解。空前的意思是：然而，這一次，鯊魚撞到了玻璃纖維然后反彈；空后的意思是：同時，一些小魚在另外一部分沒有受到傷害。所以這里選D（鯊魚每幾分鐘徒勞的重復同樣的動作。）與上下文一致。

【3】F 考查對上下文語境的理解�？涨暗囊馑际牵涸诮酉聛淼膸字苓@個實驗被重復了幾十次�？蘸蟮囊馑际牵鹤罱K鯊魚疲于撞擊玻璃纖維，停止攻擊。所以這里選F（每一次，鯊魚的攻擊性減弱了，也減少了攻擊小魚的次數(shù)。）與上下文一致。

【4】C 考查對上下文語境的理解�？涨暗囊馑际牵汉Ｑ笊飳W家然后把玻璃纖維搬走，但是鯊魚不再攻擊了�？蘸蟮囊馑际牵核�它們很自由，如愿的游著。所以這里選C（鯊魚被訓練的相信鯊魚和小魚之間有障礙。）與上下文一致。

【5】B 考查對上下文語境的理解�？涨暗囊馑际牵壕拖聃忯~一樣，我們許多人在經(jīng)歷了挫折和失敗后，情感上就放棄了。所以這里選B（我們認為我們在過去沒有成功，我們不會成功。）與上下文一致。

【題目】The traditional American school year begins in late August or early September.It ends in May or June, followed by summer vacation. 【1】___ Because long ago, young people had to help their families harvest summer crops. At least this is what people today may think.

【2】__ A recent report from an education policy center at Indiana University explored the historical roots of the traditional school calendar.

In the early days of the United States, children were not required to attend school School calendars depended on local needs. 【3】__ They worked on family farms during the other months. City schools were often open much longer, some for eleven months of the year.

After the Civil War, more and more people saw the need for a system of required education.__ 【4】______Many city schools wanted a shorter year and a longer summer break. The schools were often crowded. There was no modern air conditioning. Hot days would make it difficult to learn. Many rural educators, however, pushed for a longer school year.

So the traditional school calendar was a compromise (折中). The average school year used to be one hundred and seventy days. Times have not changed much. 【5】___ But some experts think the traditional school calendar needs to change because the needs of the nation have changed. This thinking has led some schools to keep students in class longer.

C. Americans think highly of their traditional school calendar.

D. Most schools had similar school calendars.

【題目】It seems that the great desire among the young is to be popular. The desire to be popular can force you into looking and acting like everyone else. You can lose yourself in a sea of identical hairstyles and thinking styles.

I was forced to think about popularity not too long ago in a talk I had with my daughter. Margy had to change schools when my busy work schedule made it necessary for me to move houses. I suppose that, for a girl in her teens, entering a new school is like spending a season alone in the tropical jungles. At least that’s how Margy found it at first. However, as the school year drew to a close, one student after another came to her. I told Margy that I would have been more concerned if she had been an instant social success in her new school. Nobody can please everyone. If you try to do so, you will find values as lasting as soap bubbles blown into the air.

Some teenagers claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in a certain way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon into a larger cocoon.

I know that it has become harder for a young person to stand up against the popularity wave. Our way of life makes a young nonconformist stand out like a Martian. These days there’s a great barrier for the young person who wants to find his or her own path. But the barrier is worth climbing over. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. Well, go to it. Be yourself. Popularity will come with the people who respect you for who you are. That’s the only kind of popularity that really counts.

【1】Why was the author worried about his daughter’s popularity in her new school?

A.She might find no true friends.

B.She would ignore her academic performance.

C.She had no idea of her own.

D.She might betray her true self.

【2】What does the author think of most teenagers?

A.They’re afraid of getting lost in life.

B.They have difficulty understanding each other.

C.They lack the courage to be truly different.

D.They find it hard to gain popularity as expected.

【3】What is the probable meaning of the underlined word "nonconformist" in Paragraph 4?

A.Someone who cares about others’ opinion.

B.Someone who desires popularity greatly.

C.Someone who behaves in his own way.

D.Someone who wants to please others.

【4】What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage?

A.To persuade readers to pursue valuable popularity.

B.To tell parents how to guide their children.

C.To criticize the present values and beliefs.

D.To suggest a good way to be popular.
