10、 A Growing up in Arizona's rodeo ( 竞 技 ) country, I was familiar with the events that come with traveling rodeos: bull riding, dressing and mutton busting. Mutton busting is like bull riding, but instead of bulls, they use sheep. And in place of the men, its children between six and ten years ol
11、d who try to hang on for eight seconds. It took me all of five minutes to say yes to the idea of riding a sheep. Being seven years old, my decision-making ability was pretty limited. I figured I could ride a sheep as well as the next kid. Little did I know that I was in for a world of pain and embar
12、rassment. My nerves were shaking the day of the rodeo. I hated being in front of crowds. I didnt like getting dirty; I didnt even like sheep, which I thought of as just dirty and smelly. Yet there I was, getting ready to ride one for eight seconds in front of hundreds of people. I wanted to run out
13、of the field and hide in the hot car until it was over. But by the time this idea occurred to me, it was too late. I was lifted away from my mother by a rodeo trainer and placed onto a platform. My feet went into the narrow pen (羊圈) first. I felt my shoes touch the dirty floor of the pen. Once I was
14、 balanced on the top of the sheep, the trainer let go and told me to lean forward. I did as he said. I could feel the animals heart beating faster than mine. I realized that the poor sheep was even more frightened than I was. Then the gate opened, and I quickly discovered that my hold was too weak.
15、Within three seconds I had fallen off the sheep, and found myself face-down on the sun-baked earth. The sheep thought this was its time to take revenge (复仇), and attacked me from behind. There I lay, hat down, covered in dirt, with tears streaming down my face. I looked behind me to see my mother ru
16、nning to comfort me. “Stand up and show them youre okay,” she told me as she wiped the dirty tears from my face. I stood up, dirty and upset, waved my little hand, and walked out with my mother. Sadly, I didnt win anything, not even the respect of these rodeo animals. I did find a new admiration for
17、 those little balls of wool, though. 21Which of the following is TRUE about “mutton busting”? AIt is a dirty and terrible game.BOnly strong adults can ride a sheep. CIt is intended to pick the fastest sheep.DIt's a game for 6-to-10-year-old children. 22The author decided to take part in the comp

Robert Dobias, climate change project chief at the Asian Development Bank, said that, at present, climate change is still a relatively small cause of migration, as economic causes are the most worrying and frightening, and as environmental disasters happen indepe
25、ndently of global warning. The Asian Development Bank warned that governments must start to make preparations now, because more extreme weather has already started to take effect, though the changes so far have not been so great in their impact. The bank is working on a report that will set out in d

You know the landmarksa big red house or a bus-stop sign. But what if you were swimming in the middle of the Atlantic Ocea
29、n? Could you still find your way home? Aloggerhead turtle（海 龟）could. According to Dr. Ken Lohmann, loggerheads have a magnetic（磁力的）sense based on Earths magnetic field. It helps them locate the best spots for finding food and their home beaches. Scientists already know that several other animals, su
30、ch as whales and honeybees, can detect（探测 到） magnetic fields. The difference between them and loggerheads, however, is the way they learn to use their magnetic sense. Young whales and honeybees can learn from adults. Loggerheads are abandoned as eggs. As newborn loggerheads have no adults to learn f
31、rom, what helps them figure out how to use their magnetic sense? Lohmann thinks one of the cues was light on the sea. Baby loggerheads hatch only at night. However, a small amount of light reflects off the ocean. The light makes that region brighter. Heading toward the light helps them get quickly o
32、ut to sea, where they can find food. Lohmann tested whether newborn loggerheads use this light source to set their magnetic “compasses”（罗盘）. He and his team put some newborns in a water tank and recorded which way they swam. Around the tank, the scientists created a magnetic field that matched the E
33、arths. They set a weak light to the east of the magnetic field. Then they let the newborns go. At first, the newborns swam toward the light. After the scientists turned off the light, the turtles that had seen the light in the east always swam toward east. When the researchers reversed（颠倒）the magnet
34、ic field, these turtles turned around and swam toward the new “east”. This and the follow-up experiments all showed that loggerheads use light from the outside world to set their magnetic “compasses” and then remember the “correct” direction. If a turtle hatches on a brightly-lit beach, that would d
35、amage its magnetic sense forever and make survival hard for the turtle. Lohmanns work has led others to protect the habitat of this endangered species. Yet many questions about these creatures remain unanswered, and researchers have a lot to study. 28What is needed for newborn loggerheads to set the
36、ir magnetic sense? AWeak light reflected off the ocean.BHelp from adult loggerheads. CBright sunlight from the sky.DFood in warmer waters. 29In the experiment, after the newbornsmagnetic sense was set, their moving direction was determined by _.

CIt offers a new solution to environmental pollution. DIt helps protect the loggerheadsliving environment
38、. 31What could be the best title of the passage? AExperiments on LoggerheadsBThe Survival of the Sea Turtle CThe Loggerheads Built-in “Compass”DComparison of Loggerheads and OtherAnimals D (高考题) Most people arent good at creative problem solving for two reasons: (1) They are not trained in how to be
39、 creative. (2) They dont understand group strength well enough to harness（驾驭）their power to maximize group creativity. A key element of creativity is applying existing knowledge to a new problem. The more people getting involved in solving it, the more knowledge there is to work on it. Unfortunately
40、, research shows that the traditional brainstorming methods fail to achieve that goal. When groups get together to exchange ideas, they actually come up with fewer ideas overall than if they each had worked alone. To fix this problem, you should consider the two stages of group problem-solving: dive
41、rgence（分 散） and convergence （集中） . Divergence happens when the group considers as many different potential solutions as possible. Convergence happens when the various proposed solutions are evaluated and reduced to a smaller set of candidate solutions to the current problem. The essential principle
42、of group creativity is that individuals working alone diverge, whereas group members working together converge. In groups, once a member states a potential solution, that makes others think about the problem similarly. That is why groups working together diverge less than individuals working alone.
43、Therefore, be aware of when to diverge and when to converge. For example, early in the problem-solving process, have group members work alone to write down statements describing the problem. Then get them back to discuss their descriptions. The group discussion will lead everyone to accept one or a
44、small number of these statements to work onthis is healthy convergence. When starting to generate solutions, you again want divergence. Have people work alone to start. Then collect peoples initial ideas and send them around to others and allow the divergence to continue as everyone individually bui
45、lds on the ideas of other members. Finally, let the group discuss the resulting ideas. This discussion will gradually lead the group to converge on a small number of candidate solutions. This simple method works effectively, because it respects what individuals and groups do best. 32According to Par
46、a. 4, when a member presents an idea, others tend to_. Athink the other way roundBfollow his way of thinking Cbe more confident in their own ideasDbe less willing to share their own ideas 33What should group members first do early in the problem-solving process? ADiscuss the problem.BSimplify the pr
47、oblem. CPut down group statements together.DWrite down their individual descriptions. 34How can each group member make changes to his initial solution? ABy adding in collected evidence.BBy reorganizing his own words. CBy drawing on othersideas.DBy making his statement briefer. 35What is the authors
48、purpose in writing the passage? ATo advocate a way to make group thinking more effective. BTo demonstrate the difficulty in organizing group thinking. CTo highlight the differences between divergence and convergence. DTo show the advantage of group thinking over individual thinking. 第第二二节节 （共共 5 小小题
