There are various activities for vacationing kids in Miami, and they can spend one day learning about some of Miamis rich cultural heritage（遗产），as well as a bit of science and history.Start your day at Bayside Marketplace. There are plenty of sho

11、ps and souvenir stands here for all members of the family. Kids will particularly enjoy Art By God，a shop devoted to natural stone，especially fossils (化石).From Bayside Marketplace walk two blocks north to visit what is perhaps Miamis most famous historical landmark, Freedom Tower (located at 600 Bis

12、cayne Boulevard). It is a great place to expose your kids to the Cuban heritage that is so much a part of life in Miami.Then you will visit Miamis Little Havana, and since its probably getting close to lunch time, drive yourself to Versailles Restaurant (3555 Southwest 8th Street) in the heart of Li

13、ttle Havana. Then take some time to simply walk the streets and take in the music, the art and the personality of the people and their neighborhood before returning to your car.On your way back to the hotel, visit the Miami Science Museum, where there are complete science and natural history museums

14、. Or you may visit the Miami Seaquarium（水族馆）Though there are many such theme parks more modern and in better shape than this 1955 pioneer, its still worth a visit for their dolphin，sea lion and killer whale shows. Kids can also get face to face with the endangered manatee（海牛）or watch specialists fee

Then he asked people living in modern cities to make a list of all the people they knew well enough to talk to. Each of them made a list of around 150 people. Many of us have left village life b

18、ehind. But the idea of the village has not left us.Other studies of businesses and army units have shown that when people are forced into groups of over 150 they become inefficient (效率低). There are just too many people around to communicate with effectively. It also seems that when our personal vill

19、ages become too small，people feel lonely. We need other people to help us.Many people see life as a kind of journey. As they travel they pick up things they need. These are friends, a family and jobs. This is a narrow way of looking at things. It does not explain why people who get good jobs and bec

20、ome rich are often unhappy.Using the rule of 150, we can see things differently. Instead of being a lonely traveller, you are the head of your own village. You are responsible for every part of village life. Getting a good job helps with the economic development of your village. But you also need to

21、 pay attention to the social harmony of your village.Many people think that happiness is about winning a race. The winner gets a great job, a perfect family and a lot of money. The loser should expect to be unhappy. The rule of 150 teaches us that happiness comes with getting the right balance of re

22、lationship in our lives.In a competitive society it is easy to judge people according to the kind of job they have or how much money they make. In fact, we are all the boss of our own villages. This is a difficult job. It is worthy of your respect.24What does the figure 150 relate to?AThe size of a

23、group. BThe number of groups. CThe amount of work. DThe number of primitive societies.25What is the authors opinion about seeing life as a kind of journey?AIt only refers to rich people.

DDeal properly with the people and things around you.27What is the rule of 150 discussed in the text mainly about?

25、AThe journey of life. BRelationship in ones life. CThe way to look at things. DThe competitive society.CScientists cant predict earthquakes. But toads (蟾蜍) might be able to.In the spring of 2010, Rachel Grant, a researcher in life sciences, was studying a population of toads in a large dry lake in c

26、entral Italy. Common toads reproduce once a year, sometimes traveling great distances to gather at their breeding (繁殖) grounds, and Grant was looking at whether her subjects were using the cycles of the moon to coordinate their romantic encounters.In the previous three years, she had watched the toa

27、ds increase in number when the moon grew from new to full. But that year was different. The moon became almost full, and suddenly the toads were gone. It went from there being 90 to 100 toads down to six, and then to one, and then zero, says Grant.I was at a loss. Did somebody come and disturb them?

28、 Did somebody run through with a tractor? But that didnt seem right. Toads get run over by cars all the time, and that doesnt make them run away, she says.Five days after the toads disappeared, she had a possible answer: an earthquake struck in the middle of the night. The 6.3-magnitude quake was th

29、e deadliest to hit Italy in nearly 30 years, killing roughly 300 people and leaving tens of thousands homeless.Grant stayed to count her toads in spite of the aftershocks. When a full moon rose three days after the quake, a few toads risked a return. But then their numbers dropped again, remaining l

30、ow until two days after the last aftershocka full 10 days after the first quake. Its never been reported to have happened before, says Grant. Once theyre breeding, then theyre breeding. Thats it.The question now, says Grant, is whether seismologists (地震学家) can do anything with her research to try to

31、 predict the next big one. A lot of people are asking, Can we use them as a kind of monitoring tool, keep one at home and watch to see if they run away? says Grant. Thats obviously not going to work. But shes hoping something might.28What was Grants main purpose in going to the large dry lake in Ita

32、ly?ATo use toads to predict earthquakes. BTo study toads during an earthquake. CTo check the number of toads there. DTo study toads breeding activities.29What was unusual about the toads before the earthquake?ATheir number increased when a new moon rose. BTheir number increased when the moon became

33、full. CThey disappeared just before the moon became full. DThey disappeared when a new moon rose.30What does Grant really mean by stating I was at a loss? AShe felt sorry for the toads. BShe felt puzzled at what she saw. CShe felt fearful about the earthquake. DShe felt sad about what somebody had d

34、one.31When did the number of toads begin to increase after the earthquake? AWhen the moon began to rise. BAfter the aftershocks stopped. CTwo days after the earthquake. DThree days after the moon became full.DA raised eyebrow, a puzzled look or a nod of the head are just a few of the facial expressi

35、ons computers could soon be using to read peoples minds.An emotionally aware computer being developed by British and American scientists will be able to read an individuals thoughts by analyzing a combination of facial movements that represent underlying feelings.The system we have developed allows

36、a wide range of mental states to be identified just by pointing a video camera at someone, said Professor Peter Robinson of the University of Cambridge.He believes the mind-reading computers applications could range from improving peoples driving skills to helping companies tailor advertising to peo

37、ples moods (心情) . Imagine a computer that could pick the right emotional moment to try to sell you something, a future where mobile phones, cars and Web sites could read our mind and react to our moods, he added.The researchers, who are developing the technology at the Massachusetts Institute of Tec

38、hnology in the United States, also hope to get it to accept other inputs such as posture (姿势) and gesture.Our research could enable Web sites to tailor advertising or products to your mood, said Robinson. For example, a Webcam (网络摄相机) linked with our software could process your image, encode the cor

39、rect emotional state and send information to a Web site. It could also be useful in online teaching to show whether someone understands what is being explained and in improving road safety by determining if a driver is confused, bored or tired.We are working with a car company, and they believe this

40、 will be employed in cars within five years, Robinson said, adding that a camera could be built into the dashboard (仪表板) .32Why is the computer described as emotionally aware?AIt can store your thoughts. BIt can express its feelings. CIt thinks the same way as you. DIt knows what you are feeling.33W

41、hich word can best replace the underlined word tailor in Paragraph 4?ASuit. BTurn. CDevote. DReduce.34What is the purpose of the camera to be built into the dashboard of a car?

43、erate on a 9-month system, but today many people prefer year-round schooling.Students in year-round schools attend school the same number of days as students in traditional nine-month schools. 36 Instead of the traditional nine months of school and a long, three-month summer vacation, the students h

44、ave several short breaks between sessions all through the year. Another difference is the track. Instead of single-track schooling that involves an entire school using the same schedule and getting the same vacations off, multiple-track year-round schooling has groups of students attending school at

45、 different times with different vacations. 37 The major advantage of year-round schooling is that it provides the continuous learning that can be lost over a long vacation as the students are not ever out of school for a long period of time. 38 39 For example, with one group of students always on va

46、cation，a school that was built for 750 students can serve as many as 1,000. This lets school districts with little or no money for building new schools handle a growing student population and save millions of dollars in construction costs.Overall，people generally have positive attitudes toward year-

47、round schooling. Disadvantages include the inconvenience to families with children in both traditional and year-round schools. 40 And some people say it interferes with activities that take place outside schoolincluding summer employment.AThus there is always one group of students on vacation.BFor e

48、xample, it makes it difficult to make vacation plans.CAnother advantage of year-round schooling is that it saves money for students.DWhats different about year-round schools is that the days are arranged differently.EIn addition，year-round schooling is often chosen as a cost-cutting measure.FThat is

49、 why many families accept both kinds of schooling.GAs a result, the students forget less of what they learned over the shorter breaks.第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Born in the United States，I，with black hair and yellow skin, am an American.
