| 第1题：Ants first captured the attention of software engineers in the early 1990s. A、single ant cannot do much on its own, but a group of ants (51) can solve complex problems. That inspired people like MarcoDorigo, who is one of the founders of a (52) known as group intelligence. Ants are good at choosing the shortest possible route between a food (53) and their nest. This reminds us of a classic computational travelling-salesman problem. Given a list of cities and their (54) apart, the salesman must find the shortest route needed to visit each city once.As the number of cities (55) , the problem gets more complicateD、 Ants solve their own problem using chemical signals called pheromones (信息素), when an ant finds food, she takes it back to the nest, (56) a pheromone trail that will attract others. The more ants that (57) the trail, the stronger it becomes. (58) , the pheromones evaporate (挥发) quickly, so once all the food has been collected, the trail soon goes colD、This rapid evaporation means long trails are less (59) than short ones, all else being equal. Pheromones thus turn the (60) intelligence of the individual ants into something more powerful. A、by the way B．as a whole C．for some time D．on the average |

| 第3题：It may look like just another playgroup，but a unique educational center in Manhattan is really giving babies something to talk about. "It’s a school to teach languages to babies and young children with games, songs—some of the classes also have arts and crafts," said Francois Thibaut, the founder of the Langrage Workshop forChildren, a place where babies become bilingual. Children as young as few months are exposed to French and Spanish before many of them can even speakEnglish.Educators use special songs and visual (视觉) aids to ensure that when a child is ready to talk, the languages will not be so foreign. "Children have a unique capacity to learn many languages at the same time," said Thibaut. "Already at nine months, a child can tell the differences between the sounds he or she has heard since birth and the sounds he or she has never heard yet." Thibaut says the best time to expose children to language is from birth to 3 years olD、For the last 30 years, the school has been using what it calls the Thibarut Technique, a system that combines language lessons with child’s play. "I always wanted to learn Spanish, but by the time I got to high school it was too late to pick it up and speak fluently," said Marc Lazare, who enrolled his son at the school. "I figured at this age, two, it’s a perfect time for him to learn." Aside from learning a language, the kids also gain a tremendous sense of confidence. One young student boasted that aside from French, she can speak five languages (though that included "monkey" and "lion"). The school gives children the tools to communicate, and sometimes that gives them an advantage over their parents. "I think they sometimes speak French when they think I won’t understand them," said parent Foster Gibbons. Depending on the age group, classes run from 45 minutes up to 2 hours.Even when students are not in class, the program is designed to make sure the learning continues at home. Tapes and books are included, so kids can practice on their own. The school teaches language by ______. A、exposing children to the new environment B、using modern facilities and equipment C、combining language lessons with games D、giving children confidence |

| 第5题： A、good modern newspaper is an extraordinary piece of reading. It is remarkable first for what it contains the range of news from local crime to international politics, from sports to business to fashion to science, and the range of comment and special features (特定) as well, from editorial page to feature articles and interviews to criticism of books, art, theatre and musiC、 A、newspaper is even more remarkable for the way one reads it never completely, never straight through, but always by jumping from here to there, in and out glancing at one piece, reading another article all the way through, reading just a few paragraphs of the next. A、good modern newspaper offers a variety to attract many different readers, but far more than any one reader is interested in. What brings this variety together in one place is its topicality (时事性), its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now.But immediacy and the speed of production that goes with it mean also that much of what appears in a newspaper has no more than transient (短暂的) value. For all these reasons, no two people really read the same paper: what each person does is to put together out of the pages of that day’s paper, his own selection and sequence, his own news paper. For all these reasons, reading newspapers efficiently, which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need but without wasting time, demands skill and self-awareness as you modify and apply the techniques of reading. The best title for this passage would be ______. A、The importance of Newspaper Topicality B、TheCharacteristics of a Good Newspaper C、The Variety of a Good Newspaper D、Some Suggestions on How to Read a Newspaper |
