根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Watching a sporting event with family and friends under the sun is a great experience in summer.   【小题1】  In the United States, heat exposure led to 8,000 deaths between 1979 and 2003. Luckily, a little prevention can go a long way towards making sure of an enjoyable day.
Know the danger
Heat-related illnesses do not require record-breaking temperatures to occur.   【小题2】 The body’s temperature can reach 106 or 107 degrees Fahrenheit on a 90-degree day, creating a potentially deadly situation. Factors such as age, weight or a medical condition can influence people.
Drink plenty of water
【小题3】 Sweating is your body’s key way to keep cool, so drink water to stay well hydrated(含水的) before you feel thirsty. A cool beer may sound perfect on a hot day, but drink responsibly. Alcohol stops the body’s cooling system and causes you to go to the bathroom frequently.
 【小题4】 
Wear light-colored and loosely fitting clothing, so air can go around your body and help keep you cool. A hat is a must to help you keep cool, since your head contains many blood vessels(血管), and sun block(防晒乳) is always a good idea.
Take action
What should you do if you are suffering from the heat while watching your favorite event?
Get up and go. It is a simple piece of advice, but could make the difference between a quick recovery and something more severe that requires medical attention. The ideal thing is to move yourself from the position you’re in to an area that is a little cooler.  【小题5】

A.Weather-related causes
B.Dress for the occasion
C.In hot weather, it is essential to stay hydrated.
D.You may miss a little of the action, but it beats missing a lot.
E. It is also important to take advantage of services the equipment provides.
F. But when you add sun exposure to the crowds, the results can be deadly.
G. Temperatures between 80 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit can be dangerous.

请认真阅读下列短文, 并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意:每个空格只填一个单词。

The word science is heard so often in modern times that almost everybody has an idea of its meaning. However, its definition is difficult for many people. The meaning of the term is confusing, but everyone should understand its meaning and objectives (目标). Just to make the explanation as simple as possible, suppose science is defined as classified knowledge or facts.

Even in the true science, distinguishing fact from fiction is not always easy. For this reason great care should be taken to distinguish between beliefs and truths. There is no danger as long as a clear difference is made between temporary and proved explanations. For example, hypotheses(假设) and theories are attempts to explain natural phenomena. From these positions the scientist continues to experiment and observe until they are proved or discredited. The exact status of any explanation should be clearly labeled to avoid confusion.

The objectives of science are primarily the discovery and later the understanding of the unknown. Man cannot be satisfied with recognizing that secrets exist in nature of that questions are unanswerable; he must solve them. Toward that end, specialists in the field of biology and related fields of interest are directing much of their time and energy.

Actually, two basic approaches lead to the discovery of new information. One, aimed at satisfying curiosity, is referred to as pure science. Sometimes practical-minded people miss the point of pure science in thinking only of its immediate application for economic rewards. However, one should remember that the construction of the microscope had to come before the discovery of the cell. The host of scientists devoting their lives to pure science are not apologetic about ignoring the practical side of their discoveries; they know from experience that most knowledge is eventually applied.

The other is aimed at using knowledge for specific purposes--for instance, improving health, raising standards of living, or creating new consumer products. In this case, knowledge is put to economic use. Such an approach is referred to as applied science.

The1.of science

2.__________ of science

● To define science, we may3.________call it classified knowledge or facts.

● It is essential, though not 4._____  , for us to distinguish fact from fiction.

Objectives of science

Science is 5.______ at discovering and understanding the unknown.

Two basic

6._________to

new discovery

Pure science

Scientists, who may be blamed for7.____ the practical side of their work, make discoveries out of 8._______. 

9.______science

Knowledge is put to economic 10._______, for example, improving health, raising living standards and creating new products.

Let children learn to judge their own work.A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time.If corrected too much,he will stop talking。He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use.Bit by bit.he makes the necessary changes to make his language like what other people say.In the same way, when children learn to do all the other things they learn to do without being taught---to work,run,climb,whistle,or ride a bicycle.They compare those performances with those of more skilled people,and slowly make the needed changes。
But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his own mistakes for himself , let alone correct them.We do it all for him.We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him.or correct it unless he was made to.Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher.Let him do it himself, Let him work out.with the help of other children if he wants it,what this word says,what answer is to that problem,whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not If it is a matter of fight answers,as it may be in mathematics or science,give him the answer book.Let:him correct his own papers.Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find a way to get the right answer.
Let’s end this nonsense of grades,exams and marks.Let us throw them all out,and let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn,that is,how to measure their own understanding and how to know what they know or do not know.Let them get on with this job in the way that seems most sensible to them,with our help as school teachers if they ask for it.The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learnt at school and used for the rest of one,s life is nonsense in a world as complicated and rapidly changing as ours.Anxious parents and teachers say, “But suppose they fail to learn something essential,something they will need to get in the world?” Don’t worry! If it is essential,they will go out into the world and learn it.
64.What does me author think is the best way for children to learn things?
A.By making mistakes and having them pointed out by others.
B.By having their mistakes corrected.
C.By noticing their problems and making changes.
D.By listening to explanations from skilled people.
65.The passage suggests that learning to speak and leaning to ride a bicycle are_______.
A.not really important skills
B.more important than other skills
C.basically the same in that we learn by practicing and making changes
D.quite different in terms of the way of learning
66.The author fears that if adults always correct mistakes for children,children will grow up to be_________ .
A.unable to use basic skills    B.too critical of themselves
C.fearful of making mistakes    D.unable to think for themselves
67.Exams,grades,and marks should be removed because children’s progress should only be assessed by___________.
A.educated persons      B.children themselves       C.teachers        D.parents
