24、（共兩節(jié)5 40分）第一節(jié)（共15小題；每小題2分，共30分） 閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡 上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。AOne day, I received a call from a colleague. He was about to give a student a zero for his answer to a physical problem ，while the student claimed a perfect score. I was elected as their arbiter( 仲裁人).I read the examinati

25、on problem： “Show how it is possible to determine the height of a tall building with the aid of a barometer(氣壓計(jì)).” The student had answered： “Take the barometer to the top of the building，attach a long rope to it，lower it to the street，and then bring it up, measuring the length of the rope. The leng

26、th of it is the height of the building. ”The student had really answered the question completely ，but the answer didnt confirm his competence in physics. I suggested the student try again. I gave him six minutes to answer the question, warning that the answer should show some knowledge of physics. F

27、ive minutes later, he said he had many answers and clashed off one, which read： “Take the barometer to the top of the building and lean over the edge of the roof. Drop the barometer, timing its fall with a stopwatch. Then, use the physical formula (公式）to calculate the height of the building. ”At thi

28、s point, my colleague had to accept it, and then the student made almost full marks. I couldnt help asking the student what the other answers were. He listed many others ，and then added5 “Probably the best is to take the barometer to the. administrator and said to him， Sir, here is a fine barometer.

29、 If you tell me the height of the building, I will give it to you.，”Then, I asked the student if he really did not know the conventional answer to this question. He admitted that he did ，but said that he was fed up with high school and college instructors trying to teach him how to think.The name of

30、 the student was Bohr who later was famous all over ,the world. He won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1922.56.The student got a zero at the beginning because_.A.the teacher wasnt satisfied with himB.his answer wasnt complete or correctC.the teacher clicln5t fully understand his answerD.his answer di

31、dnt show his knowledge of physics57.We know from the passage that_A.the student knew the expected answerB.the administrator told Bohr the heightC.the author preferred Bohr s last answerD.the teacher was a very stubborn person58.We can learn from the passage that_.A.instructors can teach students how

32、 to thinkB.arbiters can help students to get high scoresC.students should be given more freedom in thinkingD.teachers should make students use physical formulas59.What was Bohrs attitude toward his schooling?A.Optimistic.B. Critical.C. Approving.D. Ambiguous.BYour Car Is Ready for Take-offThe flying

33、 car has been talked about for many years，but now it appears that the idea is about to become a reality.An international company has built a two-seater plane that, at the touch of a button ，transforms into a car perfectly suitable for driving on public roads. It has been designed so that the wings f

34、old up automatically； and it takes just 15 seconds to switch between flying and driving. With its wings fully open and the propeller(螺旋槳）spinning, it can take off from any airfield.Flying cars are quicker than traditional ones for travelling from city to city，and they can run on ordinary fuel. Anoth

35、er big advantage is that they are cool ，like something you would see in an action film. At the moment 9 however, the flying cars wheels are illegal to leave the ground. That is not because of technical reasons or problems with the design. It is because the various road and aircraft authorities simpl

36、y cannot agree on whether it is a car or a plane.“The government and the authorities have never thought seriously about a flying car, says Alan Price ，the president of the company that has developed it. “I wanted a car that could fly and drive ，but it is difficult to find an organization prepared to

37、 insure the vehicle against accidents. Nevertheless ? the company hopes to produce and deliver its first flying car soon. The company already has orders for 40 of them. The majority the potential customers are older and some are retired。There have even been orders from some people who have no pilots

38、 license.The flying car will cost around $ 200.000. “For an airplane ， thats a very reasonable price， but for a car, Its quite expensive，” explains Alan. “But it just is not possible to make a $ 10，000 flying car yet. ”This latest means of transport will not become a mass-market item in the near fut

39、ure，but in the long term it has the potential to change the way you travel. It will become no more expensive than driving your car on the motorway. Travel time could be reduced by more than half.So the next time you are told to fasten your seat belt, it may be to prepare for take-off.60.We know from

40、 the passage that the flying car_A. has to run on special fuelB. will replace traditional planesC.is popular with the richD. can shift between two forms61.The flying car is presently forbidden to take off because_.A.many people think driving it not very safeB.its hard to decide whether its a car or

41、a planeC.the government and the authorities dont accept itD.there are still some technical problems to be solved62.We can learn from the passage that_.A.few people will be able to afford a flying carB.flying cars may share the market in the futureC.traffic jams will disappear because of flying carsD

42、.driving a flying car doesnt require a pilots licenseCThe early lack of exposure to science ，technology，engineering and mathematics (STEM) can be harmful to achieving gender (性別）balance in these fields. It begins when we are young and continues throughout our time in high school.While at home，girls

43、generally dont get to experience the level of exposure or encouragement in STEM fields that their male counterparts do. It is often subtle ，but its the first hurdle that faces and confuses so many women. Boys ，on the other hand, get on their path ，and are encouraged to do so， generally earlier than

44、girls. For example ，boys are more often given science sets as toys ，which spark an interest in these subjects.In school 3 boys are often pushed to take the more challenging math and science classes. So if we want to attract the best and brightest minds into the fields that will advance us as a peopl

45、e ? a country，and a planet，we can no longer look to only half of the population. Young girls cannot possibly consider opportunities they do not know exist. If girls are not exposed to certain subject and career paths，they are highly unlikely to choose to follow them in college.Our bias(偏見)toward gir

46、ls9 either from families or from schools ，is so rooted in our culture that we often dont even recognize it. Although the situation Has changed greatly in the past 20 or 30 years，there is still a sense that girls arent as good at math 9 for instance 9 even though there is almost no evidence to suppor

47、t such a belief.It is important that as a society we deal with gender stereotypes long before young people are faced with a decision to declare or choose a major in college. Without making efforts to break them， we are limiting the potentials of our youth，both male and female. Providing the necessar

48、y resources， exposure , and encouragement would help young women understand that their gender shouldnt determine the career path they choose, and that pursuing a STEM career does not make them less feminine.63.According to the passage ? not many girls grow to enter STEM fields because_.A.girls are n

49、ot as good at STEM as boysB.girls do not like to take science classesC.girls get fewer chances to know about STEMD.girls seldom survive the high pressure positions64.The underlined word “it” in Para. 4 refers to_A.our biasB. our cultureC. the situationD. a sense65.The main purpose of the passage is

50、to_.A.show womens potentials in STEM fieldsB.praise womens contributions to STEM fieldsC.describe the present gender bias in STEM fieldsD.call for more involvement of women in STEM fields66.Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? DOnline shoppers would rather receive an offer for

51、a product or service than make their own offer 3 according to a study led by a Michigan State University scholar that has implications for the fast-growing e-commerce industry. The findings may come as a surprise given that shopping online is an anonymous(匿名的）process that seemingly can give consumer

52、s more confidence to drive a hard bargain,said Don Conlon ，Professor of Management in MSUs Broad College of Business.But the study found that participants who made their own offers were less successful in sealing the deal and ，when they were successful? worried they overpaid Many shoppers found the

53、process of researching an offer to be a hassle. “ Americans are very busy，and its less time-consuming to be the one receiving the offer rather than the one proposing the offer ” Conlon said. u People tend to be happier when theyre in the receiver role. ”O(jiān)nline spending in the United States is expect

54、ed to jump 45 percent in the next four years， from $ 226 billion this year to $ 327 billion in 2017，according to Forrester Research Inc. Nevertheless, researches into this prosperous market remain largely focused on the strategies of companies, rather than those o shoppers. Conlons study is ，obvious

55、ly, a rare exception.Conlon got the idea for the study after considering the difference between two popular sites for hotels and airline flights, , which takes bids, and ，which provides offers. Using these two models ，Conlon and his fellow researchers conducted a series of e

56、xperiments with more than 850 people who were charged with booking a fictional hotel room and acquiring a fictional antique car. Not only did participants prefer to receive bids, Conlon said ，but they also secured more deals in that receiver role. Further ，when they had to make the bids ，they were left more mentally taxed and regretful.From an industry perspective，putting customers in the receiver role may help fill more hotel rooms and airplane seats. “If youre a business with a lot of products3 ”
