Mutton busting is like bull riding, but instead of bulls, they use s
11、heep. And in place of the men, its children between six and ten years old 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
12、 next kid. Little did I know that I was in for a world of pain and embarrassment. 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 on
13、e for eight seconds in front of hundreds of people. I wanted to run out 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
14、(羊圈) first. I felt my shoes touch the dirty floor of the pen. Once I was 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. Th
15、en the gate opened, and I quickly discovered that my hold was too weak. 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, w
16、ith tears streaming down my face. I looked behind me to see my mother running 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 ev

20、thor kept trying until he succeeded in riding a sheep B More than 30 million people were displaced last year by environmental and weather-related disasters across Asia, and the problem is likely to grow more serious as climate change exacerbates such problems, experts have warned. Tens of millions o
21、f people are likely to be similarly displaced in the future by the effects of climate change, including rising sea levels, floods, droughts and reduced agricultural productivity. Such people are likely to migrate in regions across Asia and governments must start to prepare for the problems this will
22、 create, warned the Asian Development Bank. The costs will be high about US $ 40 billion for adapting and putting in place protective measures from sea walls to re-growing mangrove swamps (红树林沼泽) that have been cut down that can help protect against the impacts of storm tides. While large-scale clim
23、ate-related migration is a gradual phenomenon, communities in Asia and the Pacific are already experiencing the consequences of changing environmental conditions, including more 第 3 页 frequent severe storms and flooding, the bank said last week. This could lead to a widespread crisis across the regi
24、on in coming years if preparations are not made to deal with the current and probable future consequence. 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 w
25、orrying and frightening, and as environmental disasters happen independently 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
26、 their impact. The bank is working on a report that will set out in detail the likely problems and suggest a range of potential policy changes to help deal with them. 25Which of the following is closest in the meaning to the underlined word exacerbates?

29、p sign. But what if you were swimming in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean? Could you still find your way home? A loggerhead 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 t
30、heir home beaches. Scientists already know that several other animals, such 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. Loggerhead
31、s are abandoned as eggs. As newborn loggerheads have no adults to learn from, 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 make
32、s that region brighter. Heading toward the light helps them get quickly out 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. Arou
33、nd the tank, the scientists created a magnetic field that matched the Earths. 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 ea
34、st always swam toward east. When the researchers reversed（颠倒）the magnetic 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 dir
35、ection. If a turtle hatches on a brightly-lit beach, that would damage 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
36、lot to study. 28What is needed for newborn loggerheads to set their 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 newborns magnetic sense was set, their moving direction was det

39、ve problem solving for two reasons: (1) They are not trained in how to be 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 involve
40、d in solving it, the more knowledge there is to work on it. Unfortunately, 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 p
41、roblem, you should consider the two stages of group problem-solving: divergence（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 se
42、t of candidate solutions to the current problem. The essential principle 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
43、why groups working together diverge less than individuals working alone. 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
44、descriptions. The group discussion will lead everyone to accept one or a 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
45、 others and allow the divergence to continue as everyone individually builds 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, be
46、cause it respects what individuals and groups do best. 32According to Para. 4, when a member presents an idea, others tend to_. Athink the other way round Bfollow his way of thinking Cbe more confident in their own ideas Dbe less willing to share their own ideas 33What should group members first do
47、early in the problem-solving process? ADiscuss the problem. BSimplify the problem. 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 d
48、rawing on others ideas. DBy making his statement briefer. 35What is the authors 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
