1、A special educationVideodisc holds great promise of helping to meet the needs of American schoolchildren who have problems seeing, hearing, speaking, ｏｒsocializing. Almost eleven percent of the students aged 3-21 in this country have an impairment that affects their ability to benefit from a regular education program. Handicapped students require special education because they are often markedly different from most children in one ｏｒmore of the following ways: mentally retarded (发展迟缓的) learning-disabled, emotionally disturbed, deaf, visually handicapped, physically handicapped, ｏｒother health impairments. The education of these handicapped children is rewarding but challenging. A special education student usually needs a longer period of time to acquire information. Repetitive teaching techniques are often beneficial, ａｎｄ　indefatigable (孜孜不倦) consistency on the part of the teacher is frequently necessary. Interactive videodisc courseware has characteristics that can be capitalized upon to meet the challenges that special education poses. A videodisc program is infinitely patient. Repetition of any videodisc lesson can continue endlessly, ａｎｄ　designers can assure absolute consistency within a program. Most important, according to special educatｏｒWilliam Healey of the University of Arizona, is that videodisc "adds an extra dimension of realism fｏｒchildren who need graphic representations."Healey explained that deaf ａｎｄ　mentally retarded children especially have difficulty grasping figurative language ａｎｄ　higher-ｏｒｃｅｒlanguage concepts. He believes that fｏｒspecial education, the power of videodisc lies in the ability of the technology to visually represent language concepts normally taken fｏｒgranted by non-handicapped persons. Complex figurative language forms such as idioms ａｎｄ　metaphors come most readily to mind as being difficult fｏｒhandicapped learners. According to ProfessｏｒHealey, we may infer that mentally retarded children perhaps____【单选题】

A.need graphic representations in ｏｒｃｅｒto understａｎｄ　higher-ｏｒｃｅｒlanguage concepts

B.are good at studying English idioms but often fail to grasp higher-ｏｒｃｅｒlanguage concepts

C.are not very patient with videodisc which helps them to understａｎｄ　the world concepts

D.tend to be deaf as well ａｎｄ　have difficulty learning the simple concept "before ａｎｄ　after"

正确答案:A

答案解析:文章第3段前两句指出，希利教授解释说耳聋和智力发展迟缓的孩子很难明白比喻性的话语和较为复杂的语言概念，所以他们需要直观的图解，而影碟能够帮助他们，由此推断A正确。

2、Rockets in the SkyIf someone asked you. "What colｏｒis the sky?" I expect that you would answer, "Blue." I am afraid that you would be wrong. The sky has no color. When we see blue, we are looking at blue sunlight. The sunlight is shining on little bits of dust in the air. We know that there is air all around the world. We could not breathe without air. Airplanes could not fly without air. They need air to lift their wings. Airplanes cannot fly very high because as they go higher the air gets thinner. If we go far enough away from the earth, we find there is no air. What is the sky? The sky is space. In this space there is nothing except the sun, the moon ａｎｄ　all the stars. Scientists have always wanted to know more about the other worlds in the space. They have looked at them through telescopes ａｎｄ　in this way they have found out a great deal. The moon is about 384,000 kilometers away from the earth. An airplane cannot fly to the moon but there is a thing that can fly even when there is no air. This is rocket. I am sure that you are asking. "How does a rocket fly?" If you want to know, get a balloon ａｎｄ　then blow it up until it is quite big. Do not tie up the neck of the balloon. Let go! The balloon will fly off through the air very quickly. The air inside the balloon tries to get out. It rushes out through neck of the ball off ａｎｄ　this pushes the balloon through the air. It does not need wings like an air plane. This is how a rocket works. It is not made of rubber like a balloon, of course. It is made of metal. The metal must not be heavy but it must be very strong. There is gas inside the rocket which is made very hot. When it rushes out of the end of the rocket, the rocket is pushed up into the air. Rockets can fly far out into space. Rockets with men inside them have already reached the moon. Several rockets, without men inside them, have been sent to other worlds much farther away. One day rockets may be able to go anywhere in the space. When an airplane flies too high____. 【单选题】

A.the air will be too thin to support its wings.

B.the air will become thicker.

C.the air will exert pressure on it.

D.the air will disappear in no time.

正确答案:A

答案解析:根据文章第2段第5句(Airplanes cannot fly very high because as they go higher the air gets thinner)。

Complex figurative language forms such as idioms ａｎｄ　metaphors come most readily to mind as being difficult fｏｒhandicapped learners. The word "impairment" (Line 2, Para 1) probably means ____. 【单选题】

A.habit

B.disability

C.misconception

D.belief

正确答案:B

答案解析:文章第1段第2句的大意是“在该国3至21岁的学生中，约有11%的学生有…从而影响了他们接受常规教育的能力”。habit：习惯；disability：残疾；misconception：误解；belief:信仰，由句意可知B正确。

4、Medicine Award Kicks off Nobel Prize AnnouncementsTwo scientists who have won praise fｏｒresearch into the growth of cancer cells could be candidates fｏｒthe Nobel Prize in medicine when the 2008 winners are presented on Monday, kicking off six days of Nobel announcements. Australian-born U. S. citizen Elizabeth Blackburn ａｎｄ　American Carol Greider have already won a series of medical honors fｏｒtheir enzyme research ａｎｄ　experts say they could be among the front-runners fｏｒa Nobel. Only seven women have won the medicine prize since the first Nobel Prizes were handed out in 1901. The last female winner was U. S. researcher Linda Buck in 2004, who shared the prize with Richard Axel. Among the pair\'s possible rivals are Frenchman Pierre Chambon ａｎｄ　Americans Ronald Evans ａｎｄ　Elwood Jensen, who opened up the field of studying proteins called nuclear hormone receptors. As usual, the award committee is giving no hints about who is in the running before presenting its decision in a news conference at Stockholm\'s Karolinska Institute. Alfred Nobel, the Swede who invented dynamite, established the prizes in his will in the categories of medicine, physics, chemistry, literature ａｎｄ　peace. The economics prize is technically not a Nobel but a 1968 creation of Sweden\'s central bank. Nobel left few instructions on how to select-winners, but medicine winners are typically awarded fｏｒa specific breakthrough rather than a body of research. Hans Jornvall, secretary of the medicine prize committee, said the 10 million kronｏｒ(US$1. 3 million) prize encourages groundbreaking research but he did not think winning it was the primary goal fｏｒscientists. "Individual researchers probably don\'t look at themselves as potential Nobel Prize winners when they\'re at work," Jornvall told The Associated Press. "They get their kicks from their research ａｎｄ　their interest in how life functions. "In 2006, Blackburn, of the University of California, "San Francisco, ａｎｄ　Greider, of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, shared the Lasker prize fｏｒbasic medical research with Jack Szostak of Harvard Medical School. Their work ｓｅｔthe stage fｏｒresearch suggesting that cancer cells use telomerase to sustain their uncontrolled growthThe word "kicks" in line 6 from the bottom probably means____. 【单选题】

A.excitement.

B.income.

C.motivation.

D.knowledge.

正确答案:A

答案解析:从上下文不难看出，科学家搞研究的主要目的不是为了获奖，他们从其所从事的研究及生命运行的兴趣中获得很大快感。

5、Arctic MeltEarth\'s North ａｎｄ　South Poles are famous fｏｒbeing cold ａｎｄ　icy. Last year, however, the amount of ice in the Arctic Ocean (北冰群) fell to a record low.Normally, ice builds in Arctic waters around the North Pole each winter ａｎｄ　shrinks(缩小) during the summer. But fｏｒmany years, the amount of ice left by the end of summer has been declining.Since 1979, each decade has seen an 11.4 percent ｄｒｅｐin end of summer ice cover. Between 1981 ａｎｄ　2000, ice in the Arctic lost 22 percent of its thickness, becoming 1.13 meters thinner.Last summer, Arctic sea ice reached its thinnest levels. By the end of summer 2007, the ice had shrunk to cover just 4.2 million square kilometers. That\'s 38 percent less area than the average cover at that time of year. ａｎｄ　it\'s a very large 23 percent below the previous record low, which was ｓｅｔjust 2 years ago. This continuing trend has made scientists concerned to.There may be several reasons fｏｒthe ice melt, says Jinlun Zhang, an oceanographer (海洋学家)at the University of Washington in Seattle. Unusually strong winds blew through the Arctic last summer. The winds pushed much of the ice out of the central Arctic, leaving a large area of thin ice ａｎｄ　open water.Scientists also suspect that fewer clouds cover the Arctic now than in the past. Clearer skies allow more sunlight to reach the ocean. The extra heat warms both the water ａｎｄ　the atmosphere. In parts of the Arctic Ocean last year, surface temperatures were 3.57 Celsius warmer than the average ａｎｄ　1.5c warmer than the previous record.With both air ａｎｄ　water getting warmer, the ice is melting from both above ａｎｄ　below. In some parts of the Beaufort Sea, north of Alaska ａｎｄ　western Canada, ice that measured 3.3 meters thick at the beginning of the summer was measured just 50 cm by season\'s endThe new measurements suggest that melting is far more severe than the thinking of scientists. Some scientists fear that the Arctic is stuck in a warming trend.What may be some of the reasons fｏｒthe ice melt in the Arctic? ______【单选题】

A.Unusually strong winds ａｎｄ　clearer skies.

B.Heavy clouds ａｎｄ　light winds.

C.Longer summers ａｎｄ　shorter winters.

D.Thin ice ａｎｄ　open water.

正确答案:A

答案解析:本题有一定的难度，但答案依据还是比较明显，不过跨越了两个段落，文章第五段谈到去年有强风刮过北极，第六段谈到科学家怀疑云层少了，所以答案是A。
