    Just listen
    I think  the most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our  16 ，and especially if it’s given from the  17 ．When people are talking，there’s no need to do anything but  18    them．Just take them  19 ．Listen to what they’re saying．Care about it．Most times caring about it is even more important than  20  it．
    One of my patients told me that when she  21  to tell her story，people often  22  to tell her that they had once had something just like what happened to her．Her pain became a story about themselves．  23  she stopped talking to most people．It was just too  24 ．We connect through listening．When we interrupt what someone is saying to let them know that we understand，we move the  25  of attention to ourselves．But when we listen，they know we care．
    I have ever learned to  26  to someone crying by just listening．in the old days I used to reach for the tissues （纸巾）  27  I realized that passing a person a tissue may be just another way to shut them  28 ，to take them out of their   29  of sadness and pain. Now I just listen．When they have cried all they need to cry, they find me there  30   them．
    This  31  thing has not been that easy to learn．It certainly went against everything I had been   32  since I was very young at school．I thought people listened only because they were too  33  to speak or did not know the answer．A loving silence often has far more   34   to connect than the most well-intentioned  35 ．

    The subject of what separates art and design has been debated for a long time. Artists and designers both create visual works using a/an   1  knowledge background, but their reasons for doing so are   2  different. Some designers consider themselves artists, but few artists consider themselves   3 .
    So what exactly is the difference between art and design? Perhaps the most fundamental difference that we can all agree on is their   4 . Typically, the process of creating a work of art starts with nothing, a blank sheet of paper. A   5  of art is born from a view or value that the artist holds within himself or herself. They create the art to share that feeling with others, to   6 
    the viewers to relate to it, learn from it or be   7  by it. The most renowned and successful art today is something that establishes the strongest   8  connection between the artist and their
      9 .
    By contrast, when a designer sets out to   10  a new piece, they almost always have a
      11  starting point, whether a message, an image, an idea or an action. The designer’s job isn’t to invent something   12 , but to communicate something that already exists, for a purpose. That purpose is almost always to motivate the audience to do something: buy a product, use a
      13 , visit a location, or learn certain information. The most   14  designs are those that most effectively   15  their message and motivate their consumers to carry out a task.

    Before astronauts can go into space, they have to have the right suit. That’s why NASA（美国国家航天和航空局）scientists are developing a new kind of space suit——lighter and more flexible than before. These new space suits will have lots of mobility(灵活性) for the astronauts, but will not need much maintenance. NASA wants the suits to include new technology that can help astronauts be safe in outer space.
    Right now, the American space suit weighs about 275 pounds and is big and massive. But the suit is also easy to work in for long periods of time. The Russian space suit is less complicated, but is used only a few times and then gets thrown away.
    “Finding the right balance is always going to be a challenge,” said a long-time astronaut Jeff Williams. Williams has worn both types of suits. Space suits protect astronauts from both extreme heat and freezing temperatures. They carry life-packs with oxygen for the astronauts. They also shield astronauts from radiation, or particles that send out harmful rays.
    Scientists are using computers to design the new suits. This allows them to change the design again and again, and to even test the design out before actually making anything. “There’s a lot more capable tools and technology to get the job done——a lot more knowledge, as well,” said Joe Kosmo. Kosmo helped design, develop, and test suits during the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, and shuttle periods.
    These new space suits will be much lighter and use a new kind of complex material. They also will have a smaller life support backpack, thanks to tiny electronics. NASA hopes to have the first prototypes(原型) in development by 2010 and certify(证明) the suit by 2012. This will be in time for the launch of the Orion spaceship in 2014.
    小题1: What characteristic does the new space suit have?
    A．The new space suit will need much maintenance.
    B．The new space suit will be heavier than before.
    C．The new space suit will have less mobility than before.
    D．The new suit will use new technology to help astronauts be safe in outer space.
    小题2:What’s the disadvantage of the Russian space suit?
    A．The Russian space suit is big and massive.
    B．The Russian space suit is much complicated.
    C．The Russian space suit is merely used a few times.
    D．The Russian space suit is easy to work in for long periods of time.
    小题3:The underlined word “shield” in the third paragraph might mean_______.
    A．harmB．protectC．helpD．warn
    小题4:Why can scientists test the design out before actually making the new space suits?
    A．Because designing the new space suit is not a complex task.
    B．Because computers are being used to help scientists design the new space suits.
    C．Because it needs little knowledge to design the new space suits.
    D．Because the scientists only change the old space suits a little and make them into the new ones.
    小题5:How long will it take scientists to put the new space suits from prototypes into the first practical use?
    A．Two years.B．Three years.C．Four years.D．Six years.

    People with bigger brains ftend to score higher on standardized tests of intelligence， according to new study findings.
    However， the study author Dr Michael A.McDaniel of the Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond emphasized that these findings represent a general trend， and people with small heads should not automatically believe they are less intelligent. For instance， Albert Einstein’s brain was “not particularly large”， McDaniel noted. “There’s some relationship between brain size and intelligence on the average， but there’s plenty of room for exceptions，” he said.
    Interest in the relationship between brain size and intelligence grew in the1830s，  when German anatomist(解剖学家) Frederich Tiedmann wrote that he believed there was “an unquestionable connection between the size of the brain and the mental energy displayed by the individual man”. Since that statement， scientists have conducted numerous studies to determine if Tiedmann’s  assertion was， in fact， correct. Most studies have looked into the link between head size and intelligence. More recently， however， researchers have published additional studies on brain size and intelligence， measured using MRI scan(核磁共振成像扫描).
    For his study， McDaniel analyzed more than 20 studies that looked into the relationship between brain size and intelligence in a total of 1,530 people. The studies showed that on the average， people with larger brain volume tended to be more intelligent. The relationship between brain volume and intelligence was stronger in women than men， and in adults than in children. McDaniel notes in the journal Intelligence.
    McDaniel is not sure why the relationship was stronger for adults and women. “Other research has shown that women， on the average， tend to have smaller brains than men， but score just as well—if not higher—in tests of intelligence，” he said.
    McDaniel insisted that the relationship between brain size and intelligence is not a “perfect” one. “One can certainly find lots of examples of smaller-sized people who are highly intelligent，” he said， “But， on the average， the relationship holds.”
    小题1:. What does the text mainly talk about？
    A．MRI scans are applied to intelligence.
    B．On the average， a bigger brain means higher IQ.
    C．Dr McDaniel did well in his intelligence study.
    D．Scientists are interested in Tiedmann’s idea.
    小题2: By mentioning Albert Einstein， the writer wants to show　　　　.
    A．Albert Einstein was intelligent
    B．the result of intelligence test was false
    C．being hard working is more important than intelligence
    D．brain size doesn’t necessarily decide the level of intelligence
    小题3: The underlined word “assertion” in Para. 3 probably means “　　　　”.
    A. experiment   B. statement  C proof      D. demand
    小题4: After Frederich Tiedmann wrote his article，　　　　.
    A．many scientists agreed with him
    B．numerous studies have failed to prove his idea
    C．MRI scan became popularly used
    D．lots of researchers were interested in the connections between head size and intelligence
    小题5: According to the text， Dr McDaniel’s study　　　　.
    A．proves Tiedmann’s idea was completely true
    B．shows women are smarter than men
    C．involves many studies and a lot of people
    D．explains why people with smaller brains are clever

    The deserts of the world are not all covered with sand. Many of them have surfaces of rock or clay(黏土) or small stones. They are not flat, either. They often have high hills and deep valleys. There is some plants’ life in many parts of the desert. There is little rain in the desert, but it does fall often enough for most plants.
    The deserts of the world are not uninhabited(无人居住的). People also live outside oases(绿洲), but these people are not farmers. They have camels, goats, donkeys, sheep, etc. These animals can live on the desert plants and do not need much water.
    The people of the desert have to move constantly from place to place, they must always look for grass or desert plants for their animals. They usually live in tents. When there is no more food for their animals, they fold up their tents, put them on their camels and donkeys, and move to another place. In good years, when there is enough food for their animals, they trade their skins and their goats and camel hairs with the people of oases for wheat and fruit. But in bad years, when there is not enough food for their animals, the people of the desert would attack the oases people. But they are also hospitable, no man in the desert would ever refuse to give a stranger food and water.
    小题1:According to the passage, deserts are mostly made up of ________.
    A．clayB．rockC．stonesD．sand

    Lichens (地衣) are difficult to see. They don’t move. They often mix into the living place. You might not even recognize one if you are looking right at it.
    Lichens live on rocks, branches, houses, and even metal street signs. You can find these colorful organisms (微生物) almost everywhere — from deserts to rainforests, and from Antarctica to Africa. They’ve traveled in outer space, and some scientists think there might even be lichens on Mars.
    What you probably don’t realize is that a lichen is more than a single thing. It includes two different types of living organisms: a fungus (菌类) and an alga (藻类). Neither of these organisms is a plant, so the lichen isn’t a plant either.
    Through photosynthesis (光合作用), the alga gets the sun’s energy to make food for the fungus, which is the place for the alga to live in. However, the alga cannot leave the fungus.
    Around the world, scientists have found tens of thousands of types of lichens. Many may not even have been discovered yet. As scientists continue to find new kinds of lichens, they are also working to understand how they are connected to one another. By putting together a lichen family tree, they hope to understand why so many different types of lichens have grown in so many places around the world.
    Many researchers are trying to understand basic facts about the organisms and their connections. Researchers are also using lichens to examine the health of the environment.
    小题1:What do we know about lichens according to the passage?
    A．They will die if they leave Earth.
    B．There are more lichens than plants on Earth.
    C．They look similar to the environment around them.
    D．They are too small to be easily seen by people.
    小题2:What does the second paragraph mainly talk about?
    A．The way lichens live.
    B．The natural environment of lichens.
    C．The way lichens work as organisms.
    D．The family tree of lichens.
    小题3:Which of the following statements is NOT the scientists’ purposes of studying lichens?
    A．To understand basic facts about them.
    B．To creat a lichen family tree.
    C．To understand how lichens are related to each other.
    D．To understand why lichens can live in different places.
    小题4:We can know from the passage that __________.
    A．lichens can be used to better understand the environment
    B．lichens don’t have any differences in colors or sizes
    C．lichens don’t use photosynthesis like a green plant
    D．scientists have discovered every kind of lichen

    As in the field of space travel, new technologies continue to appear in undersea exploration. They share a number of similarities with each other — as well as some important differences.
    Manned submersibles (潜水器), like spaceships, must maintain living conditions in an unnatural environment. While a spaceship must simply be sealed against the vacuum space, a submersible must be able to bear extreme pressure if it is not to break up in deep water.
    In exploring space, unmanned vehicles were employed before astronauts. In undersea exploration, on the other hand, men paved the way, and only recently have unmanned remote-operated vehicles (ROVs) been put to use.
    One reason for this is that communicating with vehicles in orbit is much easier than talking to those underwater. A vacuum is an ideal medium for radio communications, but underwater communications are limited to much slower sound waves. Thus, most undersea vehicles — particularly ROVs — operate at the end of long ropes.(电缆终端)
    For a similar reason, knowing where you are undersea is much more difficult than in space. A spaceship’s position can be located by following its radio signal, or by using telescopes and radar. For an undersea vehicle, however, a special network of sonar （声纳系统）devices must be laid out in advance on the ocean floor in the area of a dive to locate the vehicle’s position.
    Though undersea exploration is more challenging than outer space in a number of respects, it has a distinct advantage: going to the ocean depths doesn’t require the power necessary to escape Earth’s gravity. Thus, it remains far less expensive.
    小题1:The purpose of the passage is ______.
    A．to persuade you to explore the depths of the ocean
    B．to stress the importance of the undersea exploration
    C．to make you believe that the undersea exploration is better
    D．to tell some differences between two kinds of explorations
    小题2: By saying “men paved the way” in Paragraph 2 the author means that in undersea exploration ______.
    A．unmanned vehicles were used in the beginning
    B．men covered the ocean floor with stones and bricks
    C．manned vehicles were employed before unmanned ones
    D．men invented unmanned remote-operated vehicles in the past
    小题3:The sonar devices must be placed ______.
    A．from time to time
    B．after the undersea vehicles dive
    C．before the undersea vehicles dive
    D．when the undersea vehicles are diving
    小题4:What can we infer from the passage?
    A．Submersibles usually break up in deep water.
    B．Undersea vehicles can receive signals immediately.
    C．Going to space needs power to escape the gravity.
    D．Radio communications are quite difficult in a vacuum.
