10.What is the senior project?
The Senior Project at Clark Magnet High School is a program that shows a senior's ability to apply knowledge and skills,speak,write,solve problems and practice the life skills of time management,organization and risk-taking.Clark teaching staff,community members and school district staff act as advisers,evaluators during the research,project and presentation stages.
The key parts of the Senior Project are:
1)A research paper
A six to eight page persuasive research paper on a topic chosen by the students.The research paper strengthens effective writing skills learned in English class.Because the paper is persuasive,students should choose a topic about which they have a strong opinion.They should use elements learned when debating to convince the readers of the strong opinion stated in the paper,and prove it through research.
2)A physical product and fieldwork
A physical product and fieldwork (15-hour minimum requirement) related to some aspect of the paper.The 15hours can be obtained through community service,job shadowing,or making an actual project.Students explore topics that are academic in nature,a hobby,a passion,or a possible future career.
3)Data collection
Data collection that combines the first two parts and records hours spent on the fieldwork.The collection contains evidence of the fieldwork presented through letters from the students'advisors,pictures showing the process of the project or anything else that would show proof of the work completed.
4)Speech presentation
A fifteen minute speech presented before a review board composed of school staff,district representatives,former students,and community representatives.The speech is a chance to show the students'senior project.Students are to dress professionally and summarize their senior project journey.Students will talk briefly about their research paper,their project,and what they learned.The speech should include visual aids.If the presentation includes performing,the students must speak for at least five minutes.
The Senior Project is a vehicle that allows students to use the knowledge and skills they have acquired in a"real-world"application.It has the potential to motivate the students,connect the school with the community,and create pathways from school to career.

6.Can dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home?People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight.A recent research has found a new recipe of success.According to the study,if the cat is adopted before the dog,and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6months for cats,a year for dogs),it is highly probable that the two pets will get along  swimmingly.Twothirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.
However,it wasn't all sweetness and light.There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes,while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes.One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite.For example,when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression,while a dog doing the same signals submission.
In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully,researchers observed a surprising behavior.They are learning how to talk each other's language.It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk"dog",and dogs can learn how to talk"cat".
What's interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence.They can learn to read each other's body signals,suggesting that the two may have more in common than we previously suspected.Once familiar with each other's presence and body language,cats and dogs can play together,greet each other nose to nose,and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa.They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other.
The significance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets-to people who don't get along,including neighbors,colleagues at work,and even world superpowers.If cats and dogs can learn to get along,surely people have a good chance.

24.The underlined word"swimmingly"in Paragraph 1is closest in meaning toD.
A.early       B.sweetly        
C.quickly     D.smoothly
25.Some cats and dogs may fight whenC.
A.they are cold to each other
B.they look away from each other
C.they misunderstand each other's signals
D.they are introduced at an early age

A.have common interests            
B.are less different than was thought
C.have a common body language     
D.are less intelligent than was expected
27.What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?A
A.We should learn to live in harmony.
B.We should know more about animals.
C.We should live in peace with animals.
D.We should learn more body languages.

18.Last year I bought a gamefor my c hildren and I played it with them together.It troubled me that everyone won the game in the end.This seems like a perfect ending,but where's the incentive (刺激) to keep playing?We played the game twice in all,and it has been covered with dust there ever since.
Without a possible winner,a game or contest loses its excitement.If there's nothing for one to compete for,the drive to do one's best is replaced by a"what's the meaning?"attitude.Competition is closely related to motivation.It's part of human nature to be competitive.A competitive spirit is the key to our success among our adults,so why not teach it in our children?
I'm not suggesting we make our children compete against each other in heated competitions in all aspects of life.What I'm here to say is that we should pay attention to coaches(教练) who lose the spirit of good sportsmanship in the heated moment of the game.But in the right situations,a healthy competition can teach our kids a lot about life.While games and contests show the importance of drive and determination,they also teach our children how to deal with failure.And then come other good lessons-about learning from mistakes,searching for ways to improve and finding the will to try again.
56.The author found that.C
A.the game interested them lot              
B.they had great fun playing the game
C.the game turned out to be less challenging   
D.the game gathered dust very easily
57.What can we know from Paragraph 2?A
A.Humans are competitive by nature.
B.Only adults have a competitive spirit.
C.Only children have a competitive spirit.
D.There is one possible winner in games.
58.What does the underlined word"drive"in Para.2mean?A
A.Power.
B.Ability.
C.Strength.
D.Determination.
59.In a healthy competition,children can learn the lessons except.B
A.learning from mistakes                  
B.giving up games and contests
C.having a try again                      
D.finding ways to get improved
60.What can we infer from the passage?A
A.Children should develop a competitive spirit in a game or contest.
B.We should encourage children to compete in all aspects of life.
C.Children should compete for nothing but prizes.
D.Children must obey their coaches strictly in a game.

15.Birds Can"Read"Human Gaze
We all know that people sometimes change their behavior when someone is looking their way.Now,a new study reported online on April 2nd in Current Biology shows that jackdaws-birds related to crows with eyes that appear similar to human eyes-can do the same.
"Jackdaws seem to recognize the eye's role in visual perception,or at the very least they are extremely sensitive to the way that human eyes are oriented(朝向),"said Auguste von Bayern,formerly of the University of Cambridge and now at the University of Oxford.
When presented with a preferred food,hand-raised jackdaws took significantly longer to get the reward when a person was directing his eyes towards the food than when he was looking away,according to the research team led by Nathan Emery of the University of Cambridge and Queen Mary University of London.The birds hesitated only when the person was unfamiliar and thus potentially threatening.
In addition,the birds were able to interpret human communicative gestures,such as gaze alternation and pointing,to help them find hidden food,they found.The birds were unsuccessful in using unmoving cues,including eye gaze or head orientation.
Unlike most birds,jackdaws'eyes have a dark pupil surrounded by a silvery white iris.The researchers said they believe jackdaws are probably sensitive to human eyes because,as in humans,eyes are an important means of communication for them.The hand-raised birds examined in the study may be even better than wild jackdaws at attending to human gaze and responding to the gestures of the people who have raised them.
The findings are particularly notable given that most other species investigated so far,including our closest relatives the chimpanzee and"man's best friend,"the dog,are not particularly sensitive to eye orientation and eye gaze,von Bayern said.Rather,she continued,chimps and dogs seem to rely on other cues such as head or body orientation in determining the looking direction of others.The results suggest that birds may deserve more respect for their mental abilities.
"We may have understated the psychological world of birds,"von Bayern said."Jackdaws,among many other birds,form pair ties for life and need to have much in common and work together with their partner,which requires an efficient way of communicating and sensitivity to their partner's viewpoint."

67.A hand-raised jackdaw hesitates to take a preferred food when the feederD.
A.is looking away from the food
B.holds the food in his hand
C.is looking at the food
D.is unfamiliar to the bird
68.According to the researchers,jackdaws can notice human eye orientation probably becauseA.
A.like humans,they also use eyes to communicate
B.they are far more intelligent than other birds
C.they are mostly hand-raised by humans
D.their eyes also have a dark pupil
69.Why does the author refer to chimpanzees and dogs?B
A.To suggest that they are much better at interpreting gaze alternation.
B.To reflect how unique jackdaws are in being able to notice gaze orientation.
C.To show that they communicate more frequently with humans than jackdaws.
D.To make clear that they rely on other means in determining people's intention.
70.What does the research finding uggest?B
A.Not all jackdaws are good at attending to human gaze.
B.We may have understated jackdaws'mental abilities.
C.We know embarrassingly less about birds than we assume.
D.The closer we communicate with animals,the better we understand them.
