    Body language is a very powerful tool of a communication, not only between people but in the animal world as well.
    In many instances, we produce idioms which are all understandable by borrowing examples from animal communication.
    For example, we know that a frightened cat will arch（拱型）. From this starting-point we might hear the expression. “He gets my back up!” meaning “He makes me angry.”
    In the same manner, we know that many animals, if challenged（挑战）by attackers, will not turn and run away because this will encourage the attackers to attack them more forcefully. Instead, they will move backwards slowly to get out of harm’s way, always facing their attacker. We call this action “backing off” and it can be used as well with humans as with animals.
    In the case of humans, however, the back-off may not be physical but oral, as in using a kinder tone of voice and gentle words instead of fighting against the attackers.
    8. 小题1:When a cat arches its back high in a rigid curve, it shows that it is       .
    A．angryB．pleasedC．frightenedD．defeated
    9. 小题2:In the article “back off” means       .
    A．to escape from the attackers
    B．to get away quickly
    C．to keep out the attackers
    D．to avoid the attackers in words
    10. 小题3:Which of the following is wrong according to the article?
    A．To learn knowledge, humans must learn from animals.
    B．Both humans and animals have the body language.
    C．Both humans and animals have ways of getting out of harm.
    D．“Face your attackers” means to encourage yourself.
    11. 小题4:What is mentioned（提到）in this article belongs to study of English       .
    A．grammarB．idiomsC．expressionD．communication

    小题1:A
    小题2:A
    小题3:A

    8. 小题1:细节理解题。根据第三段说，猫愤怒后会做出这个动作，由此人们说“He gets my back up!”。故选A。
    9. 小题2:依据上下文判断，“back off”意为“退却”。
    10.小题3:人类不是“必须”向动物学习，才能学到知识。
    11.小题4: 由文章第三段和倒数第二段。

    I once had my Chinese MBA students brainstorming on “two-hour business plans”. I separated them into six groups and gave them an example: a restaurant chain. The more original their idea, the better, I said. Finally, five of the six groups presented plans for restaurant chains. The sixth proposed a catering(餐饮) service. Though I admitted the time limit had been difficult, I expressed my disappointment.
    My students were middle managers, financial analysts and financiers from state-owned enterprises and global companies. They were not without talent or opinions, but they had been shaped by an educational system that rarely stressed or rewarded critical thinking or inventiveness. The scene I just described came in different forms during my two years’ teaching at the school. Papers were often copied from the Web and the Harvard Business Review. Case study debates were written up and just memorized. Students frequently said that copying is a superior business strategy, better than inventing and creating.
    In China, every product you can imagine has been made and sold. But so few well-developed marketing and management minds have been raised that it will be a long time before most people in the world can name a Chinese brand.
    With this problem in mind, partnerships with institutions like Yale and MIT have been established. And then there’s the “thousand-talent scheme”: this new government program is intended to improve technological modernization by attracting top foreign-trained scientists to the mainland with big money. But there are worries about China’s research environment. It's hardly known for producing independent thinking and openness, and even big salary offers may not be attractive enough to overcome this.
    At last, for China, becoming a major world creator is not just about setting up partnerships with top Western universities. Nor is it about gathering a group of well-educated people and telling them to think creatively. It’s about establishing a rich learning environment for young minds. It’s not that simple.
    小题1:Why does the author feel disappointed at his students?
    A．Because there is one group presenting a catering service.
    B．Because the six groups made projects for restaurant chains.
    C．Because all the students copied a case for the difficult topic.
    D．Because the students’ ideas were lacking in creativeness.
    小题2:Which of the following scenes is NOT considered as lack of creation?
    A．Papers were often downloaded from the Internet.
    B．Students often said that copying is a preferable business strategy.
    C．Students combine knowledge and critical thoughts to solve a problem.
    D．Case study debates were written up as well as recited.
    小题3:The underlined word “scheme” in the forth paragraph means__________.
    A．timetableB．themeC．projectD．policy
    小题4:We can infer from the passage that ___________.
    A．China can make and sell any product all over the world
    B．high pay may not solve the problem of China’s research environment
    C．cooperation with institutions has been set up to make a Chinese brand
    D．the new government program are aimed at encouraging imagination
    小题5:Which is the best title of the passage?
    A．Look for a New Way of LearningB．Reward Creative Thinking
    C．How to Become a CreatorD．Establish a technical Environment

    　For more than twenty years scientists have been searching for signs of life on other planets. Most of these searches have been done over the radio. The hope is that someone in outer space may be trying to get in touch with us. Scientists also have sent radio and television messages on spaceships traveling through space, on the chance that someone may be receptive to such messages.
    　　Scientists are using powerful radio telescopes to listen to signals from about 1, 000 stars, all within 100 light years of earth. In addition, they will scan（扫视）the entire sky to “listen” for radio messages from more distant stars. Using a computer, they will be able to monitor more than eight channels at one time. Scientists are looking for any signal they stands out from the background noise.
    　　Of the 200 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy（银河星系）, scientists find that five percent are like our sun. Perhaps half of them have a planet like earth. Such a planet would be a reasonable distance from the star for temperatures to be right for the evolution（进化）of life. Based on the inhabitable（that can be lived in）planets in our galaxy, most scientists agree that chances are likely that one or more of these planets support some life.
    　　However, many scientists wonder whether intelligent（有智力的）life exists on other planets. Some believe that twenty years of searching without any intelligible messages shows that no one is out there. They say that the evolution of intelligence comparable to ours is unlikely.
    　　Other scientists believe that our search hasn’t been long enough to rule out the possibility that intelligent life exists in our galaxy. Although our sun family is only about five billion years old, our galaxy is about 20 billion years old. In that time, some scientists think it is likely that civilization（文明）much more advanced than ours have developed. Perhaps these civilizations send us no signals; perhaps we have not recognized the signals they have sent us. If we hope to find intelligent life, these scientists believe that we have to keep looking.
    小题1:According to the passage, how many planets in our galaxy might be inhabitable?
    A．5 billion．B．10 billion.
    C．15 billion.D．200 billion
    小题2:The first paragraph in this passage is mainly about ________ .
    A．how scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets
    B．why scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets
    C．where scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets
    D．when scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets
    小题3:The underlined word “monitor” in the passage means“ ________ ”.
    A．findB．follow
    C．checkD．form
    小题4:Which of these statements is true based on the information in the passage?
    A．The earth is one of the oldest planets in our galaxy.
    B．Most scientists believe that there is intelligent life on other planets.
    C．Scientists are trying different ways to find signs of life on other planets.
    D．Scientists don’t believe that there might be life on other planets.

    Every year landslides {滑坡} cause 25 to 50 deaths and $1.5 billion in damage in the United States．They account for 15 percent of the deaths from natural disasters in Europe．And in Decem­ber, a single event killed more than 200 people in the Philippines．Sending workers to stabilize (加固) mountainsides using steel bars and cement (水泥) can help prevent disaster, but it introduces new difficulties．Shaking drills produce harmful dust and loosen heavy, dangerous debris (米屑)．"It's quite a risky job," says Giorgio Pezzuto of D'Appolonia, an engineering company in Italy.
    D'Appolonia, working with eight other companies, may have an answer:  a three-ton robot called Roboclimber．"The idea is to operate a machine far away that can drill without a hu­man being on board,'" says Pezzuto, manager for the project, which is supported by the European Commission．Engineers claim that the machine will be faster and cheaper than manual labor．The robot, a large radio-controlled four-legged me­chanical spider (蜘蛛), has cost at least $2 mil­lion so far．The final product should be able to climb unstable mountainsides, drill holes, insert bars and cement, and collect data on the slope' s stability．Testing should begin in May.
    小题1:The underlined word "event" (in Paragraph l) refers to ___.
    A．landslideB．machineC．earthquakeD．flood

    Geologists have been studying volcanoes for a long time.Though they have learned a great deal,they still have not discovered the cause of volcanic action.They know that the inside of the earth is very hot,but they are not sure exactly what causes the great heat.Some geologists have thought that the heat is caused by the great pressure of the earth’s outer layers.Or the heat may be left from the time when the earth was formed.During the last sixty years scientists have learned about radium,uranium,thorium,and other radioactive elements.Many scientists now believe that much of the heat inside the earth is produced by radioactive elements.
    Whatever the cause of the heat may be,we do know that the earth gets hotter the farther down we dig.In deep mines and oil wells the temperatures rise about 1°F for every 50 feet.At this rate of the temperature 40 miles below the earth’s surface should be over 4 000°.This is much hotter than necessary to melt rock.However,the pressure of the rock above keeps most materials from melting at their usual melting points.Geologists believe that the rock deep in the earth may be plastic,or puttylike（油灰状的）.In other words,the rock yields slowly to pressure but is not liquid.But if some change in the earth’s crust releases the pressure,the rock melts.Then the hot,liquid rock can move up toward the surface.
    小题1:The cause for the great heat inside of the earth is______.
    A．great pressure of the earth’s outer layers
    B．the heat left from the time when the earth was formed
    C．radioactive elements giving out heat
    D．not sure
    小题2:According to the passage,______ prevents most rock from melting at its usual melting points.
    A．the pressure of the rock itself
    B．the pressure of the rock above
    C．the pressure of the earth’s outer layers
    D．the heat given out by some radioactive elements
    小题3:According to the passage,which of the following is NOT true?
    A．The farther down,the hotter the earth gets.
    B．The rock deep in the earth is liquid.
    C．When the pressure releases from the earth’s crust,the rock melts.
    D．Rock would be melted at 4 000°.

    The famous American gorilla(大猩猩) expert Diane Fossey had a completely new way to study gorillas — she pretended to be one of them. She copied their actions and way of life — eating plants and getting down on her hands and knees to walk the way a gorilla does. It was a new relationship.
    Diane Fossey was murdered in Rwanda in 1985 and her story was made into the popular film Gorillas in the Mist. It was a long way from King Kong, which is about a gorilla as a monster (a frightening animal), and helped to show a new idea: the real monster is man, while the gorilla is to be admired.
    Today there are thought to be around 48,000 lowland gorillas and maybe 400—450 mountain gorillas in the wild. From the Congo in West Africa, to Rwanda and Uganda further east, they are endangered by hunting and by the cutting down of their forest homes.
    Some time ago, I found in my letterbox a little magazine from the World Wide Fund for Nature. It had two photos side by side. One was of a young gorilla. “This is a species of mammal(哺乳类动物),” said the words below it. “It is being destroyed by man. We must save it for our own good.” The other photo showed a human baby. The words also read, “This is a species of mammal,” but then went on: “It is the most destructive(破坏性的) on earth. We must retrain it for its own good.”
    小题1:The text mainly talks about _____.
    A．Diane Fossey
    B．the gorillas in Rwanda
    C．the protection of the gorillas
    D．the film Gorillas in the Mist
    小题2:We can learn from the text that _____.
    A．Gorillas in the mist was based Fossey’s experiences
    B．Lowland gorillas live longer than mountain gorillas
    C．King Kong showed us that a gorilla is admirable
    D．Diane Fossey was murdered by a gorilla
    小题3:What message can we get from the two photos in the magazine?
    A．Gorillas are man’s close friends.
    B．Both man and the gorilla need to be saved.
    C．Young gorillas are as lovely as human babies.
    D．Man should live peacefully with the gorilla.

    SOUTHPORT, ENGLAND—A British teaching union famous for strange ideas has supported a plan to employ dogs as classroom assistants.
    At the yearly conference of the Professional Association of Teachers in Southport, northwest England, one person suggested properly trained dogs be able to keep order in primary schools. They can round up lost children and protect those who experience unfortunate “accidents”. Wendy Dyble, a Sheetland Islands woman who teaches children up to age seven, made it clear to her fellow friends that she was not “barking mad”. They obviously believed her, supporting her idea by 16 votes to 13, with a total of 63 abstentions（弃权）.
    She said big dogs could help round up children, keep them in line, lick up the milk they spill on the floor and provide the extra eyes that a teacher needs to keep order. “A big dog would also be helpful for stopping flights and look for lost property, like gym shoes or dolls,” Dyble said at the conference. “The dog will also be useful in sniffing out(find out) smells that children do not own up to,” she added. “It would be nice for the teacher not to have to go round sniffing each child to find the criminal.”
    The idea was welcomed by the Dog Defense League but less by bigger teaching unions. A spokesman for Education Secretary, David Blunkett, who is blind, said his guide dog was always popular with pupils when he visited schools. The Professional Association of Teachers, with around 35,000 members, is the smallest teaching union in Britain. It has an honor for occasional strange ideas.
    Earlier this week, its yearly conference here suggested stopping exams because they lead to stress and introducing selection at the age of 12 based on physical coordination（调整）and manual（手工的）skill.
    小题1:According to the writer’s opinion, to employ dogs as classroom assistants ________.
    A．is not a good idea
    B．can improve the relation between children and animals
    C．is beyond ordinary people’s imagination
    D．can make some teachers lose jobs
    小题2:What Dyble said at the conference ________.
    A．gained some support from the members
    B．frightened everyone present
    C．interested everyone present
    D．caused some trouble to trained dogs
    小题3:The last paragraph of this passage ________.
    A．has nothing to do with the topic of this passage
    B．shows there are too many exams in British school
    C．provides further facts about the teaching union
    D．shows the writer’s anger to the union

    Student participation in the classroom is not only accepted but also expected of the student in many courses. Some professors base part of the final grade on the student’s oral participation. Although there are formal lectures during which the student has a passive role (i.e., listening and taking notes), many courses are organized around classroom discussions, student questions, and informal lectures. In graduate discussions the professor had a “manager” role and the students make presentations and lead discussions. The students do the actual teaching in these discussions.
    A professor’s teaching method is another factor that determines the degree and type of student participation. Some professors prefer to control discussions while others prefer to guide the class without controlling it. Many professors encourage students to question their ideas. Students who object to the professor’s point of view should be prepared to prove their positions.
    In the teaching of science and mathematics, the controlling mode of instruction is generally traditional, with teachers presenting formal lectures and students taking notes. However, new educational trends have turned up in the humanities and social sciences in the past twenty years. Students in education, society, and history classes, for example, are often required to solve problems in groups, design projects, make presentations, and examine case studies. Since some college or university courses are “practical” rather than theoretical, they pay more attention to “doing” for themselves.
    小题1:“Participation in the classroom is not only accepted but also expected of the student” in  ____
    class.
    A．the humanities and social sciencesB．the science and mathematics
    C．the theoretical lessonsD．the strictly controlled courses
    小题2:From the passage we know that education in the humanities and society __________.
    A．has not changed much in the past twenty years
    B．pay attention to students’ studying instead of teachers’ teaching
    C．is much more important than that of science and mathematics
    D．has become more practical than theoretical.
    小题3:The reason why some professors ask students to make presentations and lead discussions is that __________.
    A．these professors are often not well prepared before class
    B．these professors want to stress “doing”
    C．these professors want to test the students abilities
    D．these professors are not willing to teach theory
    小题4:Which of the following sentences is true according to the passage?
    A．Student participation is not common in many courses like society and history classes.
    B．Some professors want to control the classroom discussion.
    C．Some of students are wanted to attend the lecture of science and mathematics.
    D．New educational trends have turned up in the teaching of natural sciences such as
