    第四部分：写作（共三节, 满分40分）
    第一节阅读填空（共10小题; 每小题1分，满分10分）
    阅读短文，根据所读内容, 在下表中的空格处填上适当的单词和短语，每空不超过3个单词。
    Animals seem to have the sense to eat when they are hungry and they do not eat more than their bodies need. It has been proved that rats will, when given a choice over a period of time, prefer water with vitamins to water without vitamins even though there is no difference in taste or smell between the two water bottles. When a fragrant flavor（香味）was added to the vitamin-enriched water, the rat did seem to develop a taste for it and kept drinking it even after the vitamins were switched to the clear water. In time, however, they broke the habit and went back to where the necessary vitamins were.
    In a classic experiment, babies of 6 to 12 months old were placed in a cafeteria（自助餐厅） feeding arrangement, with a wide selection of baby food before them. They were given what ever food they pointed to or appeared interested in. We are told that at first they showed some unusual eating patterns, but that over a period of time they managed to select well-balanced diet.
    So, in selecting food, rats and babies do seem to know and act on what’s best for them. Obviously, there is a ‘body wisdom’, which humans soon lose. Most of us do not eat as wisely as we could. Many of our food preferences are culturally determined and influenced by long-established habits. Some people eat fox, dog and blackbirds, while we eat cows and pigs. So what people eat and how much they eat seems to be greatly influenced by what is going on around us.
    Research on eating habits
    76._______       
    		To find out the relationship between the need of the body and eating.
     
    78._______        
    		Subjects

    79.________.
    ●80.   __ water with fragrant
    flavor and water with vitamins.
    		●81. _  water with vitamins to water without vitamins.
    ●Drink water with fragrant flavor first, then turn to water 82.      __  .
    83.         of 6-12 months
    		Given whatever they pointed to or were interested in.
    		84.__   unusual eating patterns at first, later select a well-balanced diet.
    Conclusion
    		Rats and babies have a 85.   ____   in selecting food.

In the evening of his life he often looked at the knot and sighed.
    One day his grandson caught sight of the knot and insisted on getting hold of it as a toy. The boy fondled ( 抚弄 ) and tried to unfold it. At last he did    35     trick and got it loose and open.
    When it      36       ( spread ) out it resumed ( 重获 ) its form as a long thread, a very simple wool thread.      37    by the skillful hands of a beloved girl could the thread be knitted into such a complicated knot. Devoted love made so many simple things complex in the world.
    Thus the old man was awoken to get a truth.

But if one sees     39      the knot, it remains a simple thread or line, no matter     40      shape it assumes.

    四．任务型阅读：
    认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
    About six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table, I couldn’t help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one point the woman asked,“So, how have you been?”And the boy—who could not have been more than seven or eight years old—replied. “Frankly, I’ve been feeling a little depressed lately.”
    This incident stuck in my mind because it confirmed my growing belief that children are changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn’t find out we were “depressed” until we were in high school.
    The evidence of a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children don’t seem childlike anymore. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to.
    Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different. Childhood as it once was no longer exists. Why?
    Human development is based not only on natural biological states, but also on patterns of access to social knowledge. Movement from one social role to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new situation. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages: traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.
    In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation(揭示)machine has been installed in 98 percent of American homes. It is called television. Television passes information, and indiscriminately(不加区分地), to all viewers alike, whether they are children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation, many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more vivid moving pictures.
    Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information to which children have access. Reading and writing involve a complex code of symbols that must be memorized and practiced. Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials.
    Title: Change in Today’s Children
    Main comparisons
    		Contexts
    Different(1)_____
    		Children in the past just did what they were(2)_____to.
    Children today(3)____as if they were adults.
    Different(4)_____
    		Children in the past never experienced(5)___.
    Sometimes sadness(6)_____to children nowadays.
    Different(7)_____to get knowledge
    		Children in the past: in a (8)____and guided process.
    Children nowadays: by(9)_____TV without control.
    A phenomenon worth noting
    The author’s(10)_____to children’s change
    		He prefers communication through print for children, which can control what children are to learn.

    Should we try to contact and make friends with other beings in the universe? Certainly not，says British physicist Stephen Hawking．
    “If aliens（creatures from other planets）ever visit us, I think the outcome would be much as when Christopher Columbus first landed in America, which didn’t turn out very well for the Native Americans,’’ said the 68-year-old disabled scientist in a new Discovery documentary (纪实性电视节目) on April 25．
    The program pictures an imagined universe where other life forms in huge spaceships hunt for resources after using up all those on their home planets．
    “Such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads(游牧民)，looking to conquer and colonize whatever planets they can reach，”warned Hawking．
    On the probability of other life forms existing, he says, “To my mathematical brain, the numbers alone make thinking about aliens perfectly reasonable.”
    Hawking’s concerns have frightened some people and been met with disagreement from other researchers．Paul Davies, author of the book Renewing Our Search for Alien Intelligence，thinks Hawking’s reasoning is wrong.
    He argues that since Earth is about 4.5 billion years old，if intel1igent life is likely , communities of other beings may have been there for a very long time．
    “If resources are the factor, then at least one group of aliens would surely have visited Earth as a destination mil1ions of years ago．
    Even if other life forms do come to Earth in the near future, Davies believes comparisons with are wide of the mark(离谱的).
    68. What is the article mainly about? 
    A. Other life forms coming to our planet．
    B. Scientific evidence of other life forms．
    C. Earth as the only place where human beings can survive．
    D. Hawking’s belief that other life forms may exist in the universe．
    69. Which of the following ideas is opposed to Hawking’s view?
    A. Other life forms exist in the universe．
    B. 0ther life forms may be more intelligent than human beings．
    C. We should try to contact other 1ife forms from other planets．
    D. Other life forms may exist in more than one part of the universe．
    70. Paul Davies didn’t agree with Stephen Hawking ,believing that ________．
    A. the universe is running out of resources
    B. humans are the best creatures in the universe.
    C. it is a good idea to avoid meeting with other life forms   
    D. Davies doesn’t think it proper to compare aliens with Columbus
    71. Hawking referred to Christopher Columbus as an example to ____．
    A. inspire interest in the universe      
    B. draw attention to other planets in the universe
    C. warn people to watch out for other life forms
    D. urge further exploration of the universe~
