9、during the holidays. Before the vacation time, Joe cleaned the house. Unluckily, he lost his favorite watch.When Joes grandchildren arrived, they asked him 1 he was so upset. Joe said, “I lost the most valuable watch that was 2 (give) by your grandma.” His grandchildren promised him that they would
10、find the watch for him.One of Joes 3 (granddaughter) asked, “Grandpa, do you remember when you last saw the watch before it was missing?”Joe replied, “Maybe when I was cleaning the barn(仓房).”The children went to the barn, which was full 4 old books, broken furniture, and so on. They searched for mor
11、e than two hours, but couldnt find the watch. They were very 5 (sadness) and left.After a while, one grandson walked into the barn again. He requested the others not to follow 6 (he).

After a few minutes, I heard the tick-tick sound and found it.” Joe 9 (hug) the little boy and thanked him.This was
13、 the power of silence. If we stay calm, we may find a way to deal 10 a difficult situation very easily. 阅读理解A13、 Researchers have developed paper that can be printed with UV light (紫外线), free from the need for ink (油墨). People can clear the information away on the light-printable paper by heating it
14、 to 120C and it can be reused more than 80 times.The research was carried out in order to reduce the effects of paper production on deforestation (滥砍滥伐). The researchers, from Shandong University in China and the University of California, Riverside, said that the secret behind the technology is a co
15、lor-changing chemical. A thin coating of the chemical can be used on usual paper and turn it into a reusable, light-printable one. Heating the paper for 10 minutes can help clear the information away more quickly.Professor Yadong Yin, a chemistry professor at the University of California and a co-au
16、thor of the study, said, “The greatest importance of our work is the development of a new technology to produce an ink-free rewritable paper that has the same feel and appearance as usual paper. Our work is believed to have great economic and environmental influences on the modem society.” Paper pro
17、duction has a bad influence on the environment. Its the main cause of industrial pollution and paper thrown away by people makes up about 40% of landfills where waste is buried under the ground.It is predicted that light-printable paper will be inexpensive in the future. The printing process is also
18、 more cost-effective than the usual one as no ink is needed. Most importantly, it can be reused many times, which greatly reduces the cost.1Why did researchers do the research?ATo make more money by selling the paper.BTo save more ink and more money.CTo make people interested in writing on the paper

20、 difference to our economic development.DOur environment will be influenced by the rewritable paper.4What are the advantages of the rewritable paper?a. It can be recycled many times.b. It can help save money.c. It is environmentally-friendly.d. It will help save time.AabcBbedCacdDabdB14、Creativity i
21、s the key to a brighter future, say education and business experts. Here is how schools and parents can encourage this important skill in children.If Dick Drew had listened to his boss in 1925, we might not have an important product: a new type of tape. Drew worked for the Minnesota Mining Company.
22、At work he developed a kind of material strong enough to hold things together. But his boss told him not to think more about the idea. Finally, using his own time, Drew improved the tape, which now is used everywhere by many people. And his old company learned from its mistake. Now it encourages peo
23、ple to spend 15 percent of their work time just thinking and developing new ideas.Creativity is not something one is just born with, nor is it necessarily a character of high intelligence (智慧). Just because a person is highly intelligent does not mean that he uses it creatively. Creativity is the ma
24、tter of using the resources one has to produce new ideas that are good for something.Unluckily, schools have not tried to encourage creativity. With strong attention to test results and the development of reading, writing and mathematical skills, many educators give up creativity for correct answers
25、. The result is that children can give back information but cant recognize ways to use it in new situations. They may know the rules correctly, but they are unable to use them to work out practical problems.It is important to give children choices. From the earliest age, children should be allowed t
26、o make decisions and understand their results. Even if its choosing between two kinds of food for lunch, decision-making helps thinking skills. As children grow older, parents should let their children decide how to use their time or spend their money, but not help them too much if they make the wro
27、ng decision. The child may have a hard time, but that is all right. This is because the most important character of creative people is a very strong desire (欲望) to find a way out of trouble.1What did the company where Dick Drew work learn from its mistake?AThey encouraged people to work a longer tim
28、e.BThey discouraged (阻碍) people to think freely.CThey asked people to spend all their work time developing new ideas.DThey encouraged people to spend some of their work time thinking and improving new ideas.2Why dont schools try to encourage creativity?AThey dont understand the importance of educati
29、on.BThey dont want their students to make mistakes.CThey pay too much attention to examination marks and language skills.DThey think it more important to remember some information.3What should the parents do when their children decide how to spend their money?ATry to help them as much as possibleBTa
30、ke no notice of whatever they doCHelp them if their decision is wrong, but not too muchDLeave them as they are4The best title for the passage can be _.AThe importance of creativityBWhat is creativity?CThe history of creativityDHow can we develop creativity?C15、Our voice gives away a lot of informati
31、on about ourselves. It can tell us our gender(性别)and age. And now, scientists say that it can also tell us our height.Scientists at Washington University, Indiana University and University of California found that listeners could accurately tell the height of speakers, just by their voices. And the
32、key to this mystery is a sound known as the subglottal resonance(声门下共振). Itdeepenswith height and helps us build a mental picture of a person.“The best way to think about subglottal resonances is to imagine blowing into a glass bottle with water. The less water in the bottle, the lower sound,” said
33、John Morton, a scientist at Washington University. And its the same for humans. The frequency of the subglottal resonance depends on the height. The taller we are, the deeper the resonance frequency is. In order to find out whether people could identify the resonance, scientists did experiments. A n
34、umber of same-sex pairs of different heights were told to read the same sentence aloud. It was played back to listeners who had to choose which one of the pairs was taller. Then, other listeners had to rank the speakers from the shortest to the tallest. The listeners were able to identify the tall p
35、eople 62.1% of time, much higher than a lucky guess. Why not try the experiment yourself? Find out if your tall friends have deeper voices.1The scientists in some American universities found that peoples voices _.Achange more quickly as they get olderBcan tell the height of the speakerCsound differe
36、nt when they have water in their mouthDcan tell the speakers gender, age and weight2The underlined word deepensmight mean _ in Chinese.A变得刺耳 B变得高亢 C变得低沉 D变得甜美3According to the study, taller people usually have a _ voice.Adeeper Blouder Clower Dhigher4Which of the following is TRUE?AOur voice is made
37、 up of the subglottal resonance.BThe people tested in the experiments were of different-sex pairs.CA persons voice is greatly different even when reading the same sentence.DListeners ability to identify taller speaker is much higher than a lucky guess.5The best title of the passage might be _.AHow t
38、o Be TallerBOur Voice Tells Our HeightCAn Experience about VoiceDSomething about Subglottal ResonanceD16、Its good to make mistakes, and here is why.First of all, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things. Its always good to try new things because when you are trying new things you are
39、 growing. If you never try anything new, how can you improve? How can you make yourself stronger? The simple answer is “You cant.” Look around you. With very few exceptions(例外), either everything you see in your world or every single detail of every single thing is the result of someone trying somet
40、hing newAnother good thing about mistakes is this: When you are making mistakes, you are learningConsider this: Edison failed 10,000 times before he perfected the light bulb. When asked how it felt to fail that many times, he said that he hadnt failed 10,000 times, but rather had learned 10,000 thin
41、gs that didnt workFinally, when you make a mistake you are much closer to success. Why? Because when all is said and done, you will have tried some numbers of things before you succeedEvery time you make a mistake, youeliminateone of those things and are one step closer. But this all doesnt mean tha
42、t you should go ahead without considering the consequences(后果) of a mistake. However, when you try something new you have to be willing to set some reasonable limits(限度) so that in the event that it doesnt work out the way you want it to, you will be in a normal place to try againWe all have limited
43、 time and money so dont blow them all on one problem. Realize that it probably wont be perfect the first time and deal with these resources(资源) properly so you can learn, make corrections, and try it againIf you accept and use your mistakes in this way ,you can make great progress in your business a
44、nd your careerThere is an old saying that goes, “If youre not making mistakes, youre not trying hard enough.”So go ahead and make mistakes. And learn. And grow. And succeed1From the second paragraph, we can know that _Amistakes are unnecessary for developmentBwe are afraid of trying new thingCits co
45、mmon for people to make mistakesDmistakes are better than not trying2The underlined word “eliminate” means _Astudy Bremove Caccept Dsolve3According to the article, one thing you should pay attention to about making mistakes is_Anot making the same mistakesBaccepting the punishment willinglyCtaking c
46、onsequences into considerationDtrying things out one by one4What would the writer probably suggest we say to ourselves when we make a mistake?ANever mind, I can always try againBId better stay out of troubleCOk! Now I can learn somethingDLook at this mess.
