解析【文章大意】70多岁的老太太开车闯了红灯, 在警察面前她轻松地把线穿过针眼, 这不仅避免了惩罚, 还使多年安全开车的纪录得以保持。
【小题1】选A。词语辨析题。结合句意分析句子结构可知空格后的句子“that she had never. . . been punished a driving offence. ”是她为之骄傲的具体内容, 即与要填入的名词为同位关系, 故用fact(事实)。action行动; skill技能; age年龄, 都不能与that从句形成同位语。
【小题2】选D。习语搭配题。根据句意“她很自豪35年来从来没有因为违反交通法规而受到惩罚。”, punish sb. for sth. 由于某事而惩罚某人。
【小题3】选D。逻辑推理题。结合上文知道她始终保持着35年来没违规的纪
录, 但下文说到她闯了红灯, 因此说那天她差点丢了这个纪录。lose丢掉, 符合句意。keep a record保持纪录。
【小题4】选C。背景常识题。警车跟在她后面, 用followed, 而watched不妥, 因为主语是警车, 而不是人。chase追赶, 根据上下文可知动作发生在警察发现她闯红灯之前, 警车在此之前没有理由追赶她或阻拦(stop)她。
【小题5】选A。逻辑推理题。根据下文的without stopping可知她pass a red light(闯红灯), 如用go, 则要用go by。
【小题6】选C。习语搭配题。此处缺少表语形容词, 因为主语为it, 相当于it is certain that句式, 故用certain, 不用sure, able, 因为sure, able常以人作主语; like一般不用于这一句式。
【小题7】选B。词汇复现题。根据下文第三段的内容可知对她的行为及年龄做出评论的是the judge, 故选B项。
【小题8】选C。习语搭配题。根据句意“她年纪太大了不能再开车了”可知这里是too. . . to. . . 结构, 表示“太……而不能……”。
【小题9】选B。词语辨析题。reason是说明某事或某现象的理由, 而cause则指火灾、水灾或事故的起因。此处在考查固定句式: the reason why. . . is that. . . ……的原因是……。
【小题10】选A。词汇复现题。根据上文可知她没有在红灯时停下来。“红灯”用red light。
【小题11】选A。逻辑推理题。根据句意“由于年龄老了, 她的视力不行了。”可知选表示原因的介词, 解释引起前面形容词weak的原因要用介词with, 此处相当于because of。
【小题12】选B。逻辑推理题。在宾语从句中what很显然作的是动词的宾语, 可排除speak, 因为讲某种语言时它才是及物动词; 强调说话的内容用say。
【小题13】选C。词语辨析题。根据句意可知她拿出了随身携带的手提包。表示随身携带, 不强调方向性, 用carry, 而bring则表示由远往近带来。
【小题14】选D。词语辨析题。此处是挑了一根小眼的针, 用took, brought和picked都要加up或out。
【小题15】选C。逻辑推理题。从下文内容来看, 老太太显然是成功了。修饰动词用副词。
【小题16】选A。词语辨析题。根据句意可知此处指针和线两者, 所以用both。
【小题17】选B。习语搭配题。it’s your turn表示轮到你了。很显然老太太想让警察穿针来证明她眼神很好。
【小题18】选D。词汇复现题。根据后面说他要thread it, 可知他要把线穿过针眼。刚谈过针线之事。
【小题19】选A。逻辑推理题。根据警察和老太太穿针的对比, 证明了警察的结论是错误的, 所以警察的指控是错误的, 故老太太的案子被取消了。be dismissed被取消了。
【小题20】选D。逻辑推理题。根据文章内容可知老太太的35年未违规的纪录仍然没被打破。remained“依然是”, 表示过去是这样, 现在仍然保持这一状态。seemed语气不够肯定; kept此处应用was kept。

Children start out as scientists, eager to look into the world around them. them enjoy science can be ; there's no need for scientific terms or expensive lab equipment. You only have to share your children's interests.
Firstly, listen to their questions. I once a classroom of seven-year-olds to talk about science as a job. The children asked me "textbook questions" about schooling, salary and my job. When I answering, I said, " we're finished with your lists, do you have questions of your own about science ?" After a long , a boy his hand, "Have you ever seen a grasshopper(蚱蜢) ?When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why ?" This began a set of questions that nearly two hours.
Secondly, give them time to think. After asking a question, teachers often wait only one or less for an answer, no time for a child to think. When teachers their "wait time" to three seconds or more, children usually give better answers.
Thirdly, watch your language. When children are having a science discussion, don't jump in with "That's right" or "Very good" because these may make the children think that discussion is over. , keep things going by saying, "I'd never thought of it that way before", or coming up with more questions or ideas.
Never a child to "think". It doesn't make sense, because children are always thinking without your telling them to. What's more, this can turn a conversation a performance.
, show in stead of telling. Let children look at their fingers through a magnifying glass(放大镜), they'll understand why you want them to before dinner. Rather than say that water evaporates(蒸发), set a pot of water to boil and let them watch the water level .

People on a college campus were more likely to give money to the March of Dimes if they were asked for a donation by a disabled woman in a wheelchair than if asked by a nondisabled woman. In another , subway riders in New York saw a man carrying a stick stumble(绊脚) and fall to the floor. Sometimes the victim had a large red birthmark on his ; sometimes he did not. In this situation, the victim was more likely to aid if his face was spotless than if he had an unattractive birthmark. In these and other research findings, two themes are : we are more willing to help people we like for some reason and people we think assistance.
In some situations, those who are physically attractive are more likely to receive aid. , in a field study researchers placed a completed application to graduate school in a telephone box at the airport. The application was ready to be , but had apparently been "lost". The photo attached to the application was sometimes that of a very person and sometimes that of a less attractive person. The measure of helping was whether the individual who found the envelope actually mailed it or not. Results showed that people were more likely to the application if the person in the photo was physically attractive.
The degree of between the potential helper and the person in need is also important. For example, people are more likely to help a stranger who is from the same country rather than a foreigner. In one study, shoppers on a busy street in Scotland were more likely to help a person wearing a(n) T-shirt than a person wearing a T-shirt printed with offensive words.
Whether a person receives help depends in part on the "worth" of the case. For example, shoppers in a supermarket were more likely to give someone. to buy milk rather than to buy cookies, probably because milk is thought more essential for than cookies. Passengers on a New York subway were more likely to help a man who fell to the ground if he appeared to be rather than drunk.
