37、el rose 8-12 inches. As a result. Tuvalu has experienced lowland flooding of salt water which has polluted the countrys drinking water.Paani Laupepa, a Tuvaluan government official, reported to the Earth Policy Institute that the nation suffered an unusaually high number of fierce storms in the past

44、ientists have started to look at whether mental illness and genius are linked. Dr Adele Juda studied 5,000 creative people in Germany. She found there were more people with mental illness in this group than in the general population. Poets had the highest rate of mental illness, followed by musician

45、s, with lower numbers for painters and architects. Other scientists did research which also showed a strong link between mental problems and creativity. But, it did nothing to explain it. Dr Ruth Richards of Harvard University made a breakthrough. Instead of studying creative people, she took a grou

46、p of psychiatric (精神病的) patients and tested them for creativity. The patients got much higher scores than a normal group.Also, the patients close relatives were much more creative than the patients and a normal group.

47、 our genes (基因).But this is a problem. According to Darwinism, harmful genes should be removed.

48、tand, but their discoveries have improved the world we live in. It seems that a little creative madness is good for us all.51.

57、n recent years. One of the questions is whether children benefit more from boarding schools where students live in school or from going to day schools and staying with their parents after school. It is becoming a matter of concern for more and more people, especially for parents with only one child.

58、 The people who are in favor of children going to boarding schools point out that a boarding school is an ideal place for building up childrens independence, which they seldom learn from their parents at home. Children who have the experience of going to boarding schools will come up with their own

59、ways to problems they meet with instead of turning to their parents or others for help. Whats more, these children usually enjoy team work than the little emperors in many one child families. They are generally more used to competing with others and will find it easier to fit modern society, which i

60、s full of competition when they grow up. On the other hand, those who are against children going to boarding schools argue that schools are usually much more expensive than ordinary day schools. Usually children from rich families gradually develop a sense of pride toward those from other families.

61、And children at boarding schools have less time to be with their parents, which may lead to a gap between them and weaken family ties. 答案：第一节：1-5 DAAAC 6-10 BDBDC 11-15 AABBB第二节：16-20 ADDCB 21-25 AADCC 26-30 AABAC 31-35 BDDCA 第三节：36-40 DACBD 41-45 BACBA 46-50 BBBAC 51-55 DADCB 第四节：56. another 57. fu

Even 第五节：One possible version:More and more people came to be concerned about whether a boarding school is better or a day school is. Opinions are different. Those who enjoy a boarding school think that it is a better place, and

63、 there children become more independent than those in day schools. Also children in boarding schools enjoy team work and it is good for their future. On the other hand, those who are against boarding schools think that children at boarding schools spend less time with their parents and have no commu

64、nication with the family and the family tie seems to be lost. As a student at a boarding school, I think that there are more advantages for children in going to boarding school. For one thing, I can learn more than what I learn from teachers and textbooks. The experience of living with other childre

65、n and taking care of each other can give me valuable lessons. I know how to go over difficulties and sometimes I can learn more from other children than from parents. Though I spend less time with my parents at home, I can still communicate with them by telephone. It seems that we are closer than ever when I am home at weekends. I really enjoy my boarding school life.9 / 9
