10、s another underwater expeditions(探险). However, this time, it was quite different. He decided to take his daughter along with him. She was only ten years old. This would be her first trip with her father on what he had always been famous for.Larry first began diving when he was his daughters age. Sim

11、ilarly, his father had taken him along on one of his expeditions. Since then, he had never looked back. Larry started out by renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore. He had hated them. They were either too big or too small. Then, there was the instructor. He gave him a s

12、hort lesson before allowing him into the water with his father. He had made an exception. Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide. Children his age were not even allowed to dive.After the

13、first expedition, Larrys later diving adventures only got better and better. There was never a dull moment. In his black and blue suit and with an oxygen tank fastened on his back, Larry dived from boats into the middle of the ocean. Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search. So

14、metimes, he was limited to a cage underwater but that did not bother him. At least, he was still able to take photographs of the underwater creatures.Larrys first expedition without his father was in the Cayman Islands. There were numerous diving spots in the area and Larry was determined to visit a

15、ll of them. Fortunately for him, a man offered to take him around the different spots for free. Larry didnt even know what the time was, how many spots he dived into or how many photographs he had taken. The diving spots afforded such a wide array of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than t

16、hirty varieties of creatures.Larry looked at his daughter. She looked as excited as he had been when he was her age. He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition. Already, she looked like she was much braver than Lorry had been then. This was the key to a successful underwater expedit

20、oto underwater.D. Become a successful diver.BTeachers and parents usually call attention to the pictures when they read storybooks to pre-school children. But a new study suggests that calling attention to the words and letters on the page may lead to better readers.The two-year study compared child

21、ren who were read in this way in class with children who were not. Those whose teachers most often discussed the print showed clearly higher skills in reading, spelling and understanding. These results were found one year and even two years later.Shayne Piasta, an assistant professor of teaching and

22、 learning at Ohio State University, was an author of the study. She says most pre-school teachers would find this method manageable and would need only a small change in the way they teach. They already read story-books in class. The only difference would be increased attention to the printed text.

23、“If you get children to pay attention to letters and words, it makes sense that they will do better at word recognition and spelling.” But she says research suggests that very few parents and teachers do this in a systematic way.More than 300 children aged four and five were observed in classrooms.

24、They came from poor families and were below average in their language skills. This put them at risk for reading problems later. For thirty weeks, the children took part in a program called Project STAR- Sit Together and Read. The project is based at Ohio State. It tests the short-term and long-term

25、results of reading regularly to pre-school children in their classrooms.There are different ways that adults can talk to children about print. They can point to a letter and discuss it, and even trace the shape with a finger. They can point out a word and discuss the meaning of the print or how the

26、words tell the story. And they can talk about the organization of the print- for instance, showing how words are written left to right in English.26. What do we know about the ways pre-school children are usually taught? A. Equal attention is paid to the texts and the pictures.B. Teachers prefer to

27、talk about the organization of the print.C. Parents focus on bringing children up to be good readers.D. More attention is paid to the pictures, with words and letters being ignored.27. What does Shayne Piasta suggest pre-school teachers should do in class?A. Use different methods according to the st

28、udents difference in reading skills.B. Teach children how to draw pictures to get an idea of what they mean.C. Change the way they teach and pay more attention to words and letters.D. Read storybooks to children rather than explain the meaning of the pictures.28. What put more than three hundred chi

29、ldren at risk for reading problems?A. They were poor and lacked language skills. B. They were four and five.C. They were forced to leave school. D. They were observed.29. Which of the following is TRUE about the study on language skills of pre-school children?A. Project STAR aims to find the results

30、 of reading to pre-school children in the classrooms.B. Attention on the pictures has made the children uninterested in reading.C. Many teachers want to change their way of teaching pre-school children.D. Teachers are often prevented from taking different approaches to language teaching.30. Adults c

31、an talk to children about print in the following ways except_.A. Discussing the meaning of the print. B. Showing them all kinds of pictures. C. Talking about the organization of the print. D. Tracing the shape of a letter with a finger.CIn ancient Egypt, the pharaoh(法老) treated the message runner li

32、ke a prince when he arrived at the palace, if he brought good news. However, if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news, his head was cut off.Shades of that spirit spread over todays conversations. Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for

33、an outing. As we walked light-heartedly out of the door, picnic basket in hand, a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said, “Oh boy, bad day for a picnic. The weatherman says its going to rain.” I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches. Not for his stupid weathe

34、r report, but for his smile.Several months ago I was racing to catch a bus. As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Greyhound counter, the sales agent said with a broad smile, “Oh, that bus left five minutes ago.” Dreams of head cutting!Its not the news that makes someone angry. Its the

35、unsympathetic attitude with which its delivered(传送). Everyone must give bad news from time to time, and winning professionals do it with the proper attitude. A doctor advising a patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way. A boss informing an employee he didnt get the job takes on a

36、sympathetic tone. Big winners know，when delivering any bad news, they should share the feeling of the receiver.Unfortunately, many people are not aware of this. When youre tired from a long flight, has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isnt ready yet？When you had your heart set on the toa

37、st beef, has your waiter merrily told you that he just served the last piece? It makes you as a traveler or diner want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces.Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy, I would have appreciated his warning. Had the Greyhound salescl

38、erk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left, I probably would have said, “Oh, thats all right. Ill catch the next one.” Big winners, when they bear bad news, deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded(被轰炸的)person is sure to have.31. In Paragraph 1, the writer tells the story of th

39、e pharaoh to_.A. make a comparisonB. describe a sceneC. introduce a topic D. offer an argument 32. In the writers opinion, his neighbor was_.A. not helpful B. not considerate C. friendly D. warm-hearted33.

The author really appreciated the neighbors warning.B. From the passage we know that it is the bad news that mak

41、es someone angry.C. If the runner brought to the pharaoh unhappy news, he would be treated like a prince.D. When we want to deliver any bad news, we should share the feeling of the receiver.35. What is the main idea of the text? A. Delivering bad news with sympathy is important in communication.B. H

42、elping others sincerely is the key to business success.C. Receiving bad news requires great courage.D. Learning ancient traditions can be useful.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。Have you ever felt sick to your stomach during a test? Have you ever been so worried about s
