The next day at school, I got a rude awakening: Id totally forgotten to prepare for the test on Romeo and Juliet, which Id take over my lunch hour! Worse still, I had 17 the in-clas

Tourist maps, for example, have signs to show places of interest in an area. When tourists read these maps, it is easy for them to find where to

17、 go and what to see in a place and it is easy for them to go and find their ways to these places. Road maps show large areas so that people can plan long journeys. Different types of roads are given different numbers. For example, if you want to go to Wood Green, you just follow No. 621 Road and kee

18、p looking at the road signs. Agricultural productswheatbeancornin LakesidericeDistribution maps use colors or signs to show facts about an area. For example, where different languages are spoken, how many people live in an area, how cold and hot some places are, or whether a place is short of water.

19、Some maps, such as railway maps, use straight lines to show everything. This is easy for people to read. Trains are fast. People dont have to think about small places they go past. They just need to know the two ends of their trips.31. How can you tell different roads on road maps?A. By using differ

20、ent colors.B. By finding the numbers.C. By following No. 621 Road.D. By looking at the road signs.32. Which of the following can distribution maps tell us?A. How to get to Germany.B.

21、traight lines?A. Because railways are straight.B. Because people like straight lines.C. Because people can read them easily.D. Because railways have only two ends.BWhen I was small, my mother and I would walk to our local library in Franklin Square. As we didnt always have access to a reliable car,

22、walking hand in hand was the most convenient way to get anywhere. It was at story time for children that both my mother and I made lasting friendships.Today, I am fortunate to live around the corner from the Cold Coast Public Library in Glen Head and a short walk to the Sea Cliff Childrens Library.

23、My 8-month-old son, Colin, and I find ourselves in Sea Cliff several times a week, meeting and making friends. Well, that is what many people dont understanda library is more than books; its a community.Sure, the library in Franklin Square was the place where I was introduced to Judy Blume novels. B

24、ut it was also the place where I got my first email address in 1997. At the library, friends and I learned how to research colleges and search for scholarships on the Internet. The library was the place where we sometimes giggled too loudly, and where the librarians knew us by name. Their knowing ou

25、r names wasnt a bad thing. When I came home from my first term at Binghamton University, Mary LaRosa, the librarian at the Franklin Square library, offered me my first teaching job.I now teach reading at Nassau Community College. My students are often amazed that they can check out books via their s

26、martphones and virtually visit a variety of Long Island libraries. The app used by Nassau and Suffolk county public libraries, as well as the college library, makes their homework easier by helping them find resources. Even though they cant always easily visit their local libraries, the library is a

27、lways with them.34. Why does the author consider herself lucky today?A. She can walk with her mother hand in hand.B. She has access to a reliable car now.C. She can giggle loudly at the library.D. She lives close to libraries.35. The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 probably refer to .A. social

29、ge mainly to .A. recall the days of childhood in the librariesB. discuss the differences of the libraries C. explain the changes of the librariesD. express her love for librariesCThis may be the 21st century but when it comes to information communication technology (ICT), the gender divide between b

30、oys and girls, shows no sign of closing.This is bad news for the ICT industry where men outnumber women by over five to one. The industry needs at least an extra million recruits (新成员) over the next five years. Obviously, women as well as men are going to have to fill these recruitment gaps. The ICT

31、 companies are worried about the shortage of men and women to fill their vacancies (空缺) in the future.It is believed that women are very well suited to working in ICT. They enjoy working in teams and like looking for creative connections. Many women have the kind of personal skills which are conside

32、red essential in developing “new technology”. Professionals who work in Information Technology are constantly creating the world around us, and this cant be done if you dont know how people work and how they play. To come up with ideas that will actually make a difference to modern life, you have to

33、 understand how people live and work.In spite of the fact that ICT jobs are well paid and women tend to do well in them, research shows that girls opinions of the industry are uniformly negative. Only 5% would consider entering the ICT industry compared to 14% for law and 26% for medicine. Up to the

34、 age of 11 girls see ICT as entertaining and interesting but after that age negativity sets in. By the age of 13 this negative view of ICT is confirmed. After school activities encourage some girls to use Information Technology, and getting ICT staff and other teachers together helps to develop imag

35、inative use of ICT. Imaginative use of ICT especially in music, art, drama, geography and media studies, all helps to open girls eyes to the fact that careers in computing can cut across so many different areas.There is a significant difference in the learning styles between boys and girls. The ICT

36、class in schools is often an exercise where every student completes the same class assignment largely by rote(死记硬背). Although girls follow successfully, they will achieve enjoyment and excellence if allowed to diversify and be creative. For girls, just pressing buttons is not enough.Another initiati

37、ve is setting up computer clubs aimed at younger girls aged 8 to 14. This is known to inspire girls to develop their ICT skills and to show them that ICT can be both creative and interesting. We cant afford to have girls missing out.38. Why are girls fit for the job in information communication tech

38、nology?A. Because they prefer independent and fresh working style.B. Because they want to succeed and enjoy working with creative teammates.C. Because they like cooperating with teammates and exploring new things.D. Because they are interested in music, art, geography and media studies.39.What is th

39、e attitude of girls to ICT by the time they become teenagers?A.positive. B. uninterested. C. serious. D. disappointed.40.What does the underlined word “initiative” in Paragraph 7 probably mean?Amethod B. skill C. behavior D. situation.41. What can we infer from the passage?A. We find more men in ICT

40、 industry mainly because of their interest.B. Now people cant find difference between boys and girls in ICT industry.C. Girls arent willing to choose ICT as a career for they cant get high salary.D. It is time for us to take measures to make more girls come into ICT fields.DEarly or Later Day CareMa

41、ny young parents are confused about whether their children should have early day care, and there have always been different views on this subject.The British psychoanalyst John Bowlby believes that separation from parents during the sensitive “attachment” period from birth to three may scar a childs

42、 personality and lead to psychological problems in later life. Some people have drawn the conclusion from Bowlbys work that children should not be subjected to day care before three because of the parental separation it causes, and many people do believe this.According to Bowlby, a great deal of psy

43、chological harm can occur when young children are separated from their parents. If they are left without touch for a while, they will have a higher stress level. Parents influence on their childrens well-being may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, whena childs brain is develop

44、ingrapidly and when nearly all of her or his experiences are shaped by parents and the family environment.However, there are critics. Some anthropologists (人类学家) point out that the love affair between children and parents found in modern societies does not usually exist in traditional societies. The

45、re has been a long history of the fact that father and mother did not bring up their children alone. Plato, around 394 B.C., argued that a system of early child care would free women to participate in society. Results from Israeli and Dutch studies show that child-raising duties are more evenly dist

46、ributed among a broader group of people.Besides, studies have reported that early day care has a neutral or slightly positive effect on childrens development. They learn the benefits of being socially smart, understanding the concept of sharing and caring. They promote concentration skills, which is

47、 very important in their learning.There are games where children are taught basic language and mathematical skills through stories and everyday examples.Common sense tells us that early day care would not be so widespread if children had problems with it. But Bowlbys analysis raises the possibility

48、that it has delayed effects. The possibility that such care might lead to more mental illness 15 or 20 years later can only be explored by the use of statistics. Whatever the long-term effects, parents sometimes find the immediate effects difficult to deal with. Children under three dislike leaving

49、their parents and show unhappiness. At the age of three almost all children find it easy to go to the nursery. The matter, then, is far from being clearly known, though experience and available evidence indicate that early day care is reasonable for young children. 42. Thepassagemainlyargueswhether_

Scientists have known for some

62、time that every tissue in our bodies contains a kind of biological clock that goes off in response to messages related to our daily exposure to light, food and sleep.However, whether and how exercise timing might influence metabolic (新陈代谢的) health has been less clear, and the results of past experim

63、ents have not always agreed. A much-discussed 2019 study found that men with Type 2 diabetes (糖尿病) who completed a few minutes of high-intensity interval (间隔) sessions in the afternoon improved their blood-sugar control after two weeks. Patrick Schrauwen, a professor of nutrition and movement scienc

64、es read that 2019 study with interest. He had been studying exercise in people with Type 2 diabetes, but had not considered the possible role of timing.

Several years earlier, they had asked adult men at high risk for Type 2 diabetes to ride stationary bicycles at the lab three times a week for 12 weeks, while the researchers tracked th

The researchers pulled data for the 12 men who consistently had worked out between 8 and 10 a.m. and compared them with another 20 who always exercised between 3 and 6 p.m. They found that the benefits of afterno

67、on workouts far outweighed those of morning exercise.He says, This study does suggest that afternoon exercise may be more beneficial for people with disturbed metabolisms than the same exercise done earlier. The particular and most effective exercise for each of us will line up with our daily routin
