11、nd Miami is such a hot spot for families year round. There are various activities for vacationing kids in Miami, and they can spend one day learning about some of Miamis rich cultural heritage(遗产), as well as a bit of science and history. Start your day at Bayside Marketplace. There are plenty of sh
12、ops and souvenir stands here for all members of the family. Kids will particularly enjoy Art By God, a shop devoted to natural stone. especially fossils(化石). From Bayside Marketplace walk two blocks north to visit what is perhaps Miamis most famous historical landmark. Freedom Tower (located at 600
13、Biscayne Boulevard). It is a great place to expose your kids to the Cuban heritage that is so much a part of life in Miami. Then you will visit Miamis Little Havana, and since its probably getting close to lunch time, drive yourself to Versailles Restaurant (3555 Southwest 8th Street) in the heart o
14、f Little Havana. Then take some time to simply walk the streets and take in the music, the art and the personality of the people and their neighborhood before returning to your car. On your way back to the hotel, visit the Miami Science Museum, where there are complete science and natural history mu
15、seums. Or you may visit the Miami Seaquarium (水族馆). Though there are many such theme parks more modern and in better shape than this 1955 pioneer, its still worth a visit for their dolphin, sea lion and killer whale shows. Kids can also get face to face with the endangered manatee(海牛)or watch specia
16、lists feeding 200-pound sharks. 21. Bayside Marketplace is a market for . A. children only B. parents only C. all tourists D. fossil collectors 22. What do we know about Little Havana? A.

18、thropologist(人类学家)called Robin Dunbar made a study of 21 different primitive societies. He found that they all lived in villages of around 150 people. Then he asked people living in modern cities to make a list of all the people they knew well enough to talk to. Each of them made a list of around 15
19、0 people. Many of us have left village life behind. But the idea of the village has not left us. Other studies of businesses and army units have shown that when people are forced into groups of over 150 they become inefficient(效率低). There are just too many people around to communicate with effective
20、ly. It also seems that when our personal villages become too small, people feel lonely. We need other people to help us. Many people see life as a kind of journey. As they travel they pick up things they need. These are friends, a family and jobs. This is a narrow way of looking at things. It does n
21、ot explain why people who get good jobs and become rich are often unhappy. Using the rule of 150, we can see things differently. Instead of being a lonely traveler, you are the head of your own village. You are responsible for every part of village life. Getting a good job helps with the economic de
22、velopment of your village. But you also need to pay attention to the social harmony of your village. Many people think that happiness is about winning a race. The winner gets a great job, a perfect family and a lot of money. The loser should expect to be unhappy. The rule of 150 teaches us that happ
23、iness comes with getting the right balance of relationship in our lives. In a competitive society it is easy to judge people according to the kind of job they have or how much money they make. In fact, we are all the boss of our own villages. This is a difficult job. It is worthy of your respect. 24
24、. What does the figure 150 relate to? A. The size of a group. B. The number of groups. C. The amount of work. D. The number of primitive societies. 25.

Compete against others to achieve happiness. C. Use the rule of 150 to improve the village life. D. Deal properly with the peopl
26、e and things around you. 27. What is the rule of 150 discussed in the text mainly about? A. The journey of life. B. Relationship in ones life. C. The way to look at things. D. The competitive society. C Scientists cant predict earthquakes. But toads(蟾蜍)might be able to. In the spring of 2010, Rachel
27、 Grant, a researcher in life sciences, was studying a population of toads in a large dry lake in central Italy. Common toads reproduce once a year, sometimes traveling great distances to gather at their breeding(繁殖)grounds, and Grant was looking at whether her subjects were using the cycles of the m
28、oon to coordinate their romantic encounters. In the previous three years, she had watched the toads increase in number when the moon grew from new to full. But that year was different. The moon became almost full, and suddenly the toads were gone. It went from there being 90 to 100 toads down to six
29、, and then to one, and then zero, says Grant. I was at a loss. Did somebody come and disturb them? Did somebody run through with a tractor? But that didnt seem right. Toads get run over by cars all the time, and that doesnt make them run away, she says. Five days after the toads disappeared, she had
30、 a possible answer: an earthquake struck in the middle of the night. The 6.3-magnitude quake was the deadliest to hit Italy in nearly 30 years, killing roughly 300 people and leaving tens of thousands homeless. Grant stayed to count her toads in spite of the aftershocks. When a full moon rose three
31、days after the quake, a few toads risked a return. But then their numbers dropped again, remaining low until two days after the last aftershock-a full 10 days after the first quake. Its never been reported to have happened before, says Grant. Once theyre breeding, then theyre breeding. Thats it. The
32、 question now, says Grant, is whether seismologists (地震学家) can do anything with her research to try to predict the next big one. A lot of people are asking, Can we use them as a kind of monitoring tool, keep one at home and watch to see if they run away? says Grant. Thats obviously not going to work
33、. But shes hoping something might. 28. What was Grants main purpose in going to the large dry lake in Italy? A. To use toads to predict earthquakes. B. To study toads during an earthquake. C. To check the number of toads there. D. To study toads breeding activities. 29. What was unusual about the to
34、ads before the earthquake? A. Their number increased when a new moon rose. B. Their number increased when the moon became full. C. They disappeared just before the moon became full. D. They disappeared when a new moon rose. 30. What does Grant really mean by stating I was at a loss? A. She felt sorr
35、y for the toads. B. She felt puzzled at what she saw. C. She felt fearful about the earthquake. D. She felt sad about what somebody had done. 31. When did the number of toads begin to increase after the earthquake? A. When the moon began to rise. B. After the aftershocks stopped. C. Two days after t
36、he earthquake. D. Three days after the moon became full. D A raised eyebrow, a puzzled look or a nod of the head are just a few of the facial expressions computers could soon be using to read peoples minds. An emotionally aware computer being developed by British and American scientists will be able
37、 to read an individuals thoughts by analyzing a combination of facial movements that represent underlying feelings. The system we have developed allows a wide range of mental states to be identified just by pointing a video camera at someone, said Professor Peter Robinson of the University of Cambri
38、dge. He believes the mind-reading computers applications could range from improving peoples driving skills to helping companies tailor advertising to peoples moods(心情). Imagine a computer that could pick the right emotional moment to try to sell you something, a future where mobile phones, cars and
39、Web sites could read our mind and react to our moods, he added. The researchers, who are developing the technology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States, also hope to get it to accept other inputs such as posture(姿 势)and gesture. Our research could enable Web sites to tai
40、lor advertising or products to your mood, said Robinson. For example, a Webcam(网络摄相机)linked with our software could process your image, encode the correct emotional state and send information to a Web site. It could also be useful in online teaching to show whether someone understands what is being
41、explained and in improving road safety by determining if a driver is confused, bored or tired. We are working with a car company, and they believe this will be employed in cars within five years, Robinson said, adding that a camera could be built into the dashboard(仪表板). 32. Why is the computer desc
42、ribed as emotionally aware? A. It can store your thoughts. B. It can express its feelings. C. It thinks the same way as you. D. It knows what you are feeling. 33. Which word can best replace the underlined word tailor in Paragraph 4? A. Suit. B. Turn. C. Devote. D. Reduce. 34. What is the purpose of
43、 the camera to be built into the dashboard of a car? A. To identify the drivers mental state. B. To help the driver learn driving skills. C. To send traffic information to a Web site. D. To record the drivers facial movements. 35. In introducing the mind-reading computer, the text focuses on A. its
44、development B. its designers C. its applications D. its working process 第二节(共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分) 根据短文内容， 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。 选项中有两项为多余 选项。 Year-round Schooling Traditional schools in America operate on a 9-month system，but today many people prefer year-round schooling. Students in year-rou
45、nd schools attend school the same number of days as students in traditional nine-month schools. 36 Instead of the traditional nine months of school and a long, three-month summer vacation, the students have several short breaks between sessions all through the year. Another difference is the track.
46、Instead of single-track schooling that involves an entire school using the same schedule and getting the same vacations off, multiple-track year-round schooling has groups of students attending school at different times with different vacations. 37 The major advantage of year-round schooling is that
47、 it provides the continuous learning that can be lost over a long vacation as the students are not ever out of school for a long period of time. 38 39 For example， with one group of students always on vacation, a school that was built for 750 students can serve as many as 1,000. This lets school dis
48、tricts with little or no money for building new schools handle a growing student population and save millions of dollars in construction costs. Overall, people generally have positive attitudes toward year-round schooling. Disadvantages include the inconvenience to families with children in both traditional and year-round schools. 40 And some people say it interferes with activities that take place outside school-including summer employment. A. Thus there is always one group of students on vacation. B. For e
