21、Time Management

What time is it? Most people are pretty accurate in their answer. And if you don’t know for sure, it’s very likely that you can find out. 【1】; there may be clock on the wall, desk, or computer screen; or maybe you’re riding in a car that has a clock in the dashboard (仪表板).

【2】 even if you don’t have a timepiece of some sort nearby. Humans have an internal clock that regulates the beating of our heart, the pace of our breathing, the discharge of chemicals within our bloodstream, and many other bodily functions.

【3】. Even if we ignore it, it’s still going by ticking away, second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour. So the main issue in using your time well is, “Who’s in charge?” 【4】. Or we can take control of it and make it our partner.

By taking control of how you spend your time, you’ll increase your chances of becoming a more successful student. Perhaps more importantly, the better you are at managing the time you devote to your studies, the more time you will have to spend on your outside interests.

The aim of time management is not to schedule every moment so we become slaves of timetable that governs every waking moment of the day. 【5】. Rather than letting the day go by, largely without our awareness, what we are going to discuss next can make us better able to control time for our own purposes.

A.We are the master of time

B.Your body keeps its own beat

C.You can find timepiece everywhere

D.There may be a watch on your wrist

E.Time is something from which we can’t escape

F.Instead, the aim is to inform us how we use time

G.We can allow time to slip by and let it be our enemy

22、   This year, German environmentalists collected 1.75 million signatures for a “save the bees” law requiring an immediate change toward organic farming. But to create healthy ecosystems worldwide, people in communities across the globe will need to take similar action based on sympathy for insects — and not only for bees and butterflies. The environmentalists presented immediate, science-based actions to slow down the insect decline.

“It takes specific law to preserve the amazing variety of insects in the world and we need to stop the destroying of natural habitats, limit road building in parks and reserves and produce food without the use of pesticides,” said Basset, an entomologist, “Conserving insects is not the same as conserving big animals or rare frogs. You can’t keep millions of insects in a zoo.”

A recent article in Entomology Today suggests that successful programs to save insects have a clear and simple objective and a strategically chosen audience. By focusing on bees and butterflies and other beautiful, familiar insects, it is possible to enact the law to protect the habitat of lesser known, less attractive, but equally important species.

But there are still huge gaps in information about how different species of insects are doing, especially in the tropics. “It is next to useless to weigh insects collected in an area and say that insect communities are increasing or declining.” Basset said. “We need much more specific information. That is expensive and difficult because of the effort that it takes just to identify the species, especially in the tropics. What we are doing now is to group insects by their main function, and then to determine how each group is doing in a specific area of the world.”

【1】What should people do to protect insects according to the text?

A.Stop building roads in parks and reserves.

B.Open up more natural habitats.

C.Avoid using pesticides for crops.

D.Keep them in a zoo.

【2】What can we learn from the successful programs to save insects?

A.They have set up laws.

B.They focus on specific species.

C.They conserve important species.

D.They protect the habitat of lesser known species.

【3】What are the environmentalists doing now?

A.Classifying the insects.

B.Identifying the species of insects.

C.Doing research on insects’ function.

D.Weighing insects collected in an area.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A.Helping Insects Is Helping Ourselves!

B.Take Action! Insects Need Protection!

C.Save the Bees — They Need Your Help!

D.Insect Decline: Where Have All the Insects Gone?

23、A long lost 16th century civilization has been unearthed in rural Kansas-all thanks to a teen who helped archaeologists(考古学家)confirm the incredible discovery.

The long-lost city called Etzanoa-where up to 20,000 Indians once lived-was discovered in Arkansas City, in the south-central part of the state, when a high school boy found a cannon(炮)ball that tipped off the experts that their long-held suspicions about the existence of Etzanoa were correct.

The city, whose name means “The Great Settlement”, is believed to be the second-largest Native American city in the U.S. and was the site of a battle between Spanish explorers and Indian soldiers in 1601.

“The Spanish were amazed by the size of Etzanoa, ” according to Donald Blakeslee, a 73-year-old Wichita State University archaeologist, who announced the discovery. “They counted 2,000 houses that could hold ten people each. They said it would take two or three days to walk through it all.”

For years, he and other scientists hunted for the fabled city. They dug up pottery, knives and stone tools that would link it to records from Spanish explorers - but couldn’t confirm that it was Etzanoa. Then last year, Adam Ziegler, who attends a nearby high school, discovered a half-inch iron cannon ball — linking it to the 1601 battle. During the battle, the Spanish fired cannons at Indian soldiers, who eventually fled the city.

Kansas officials now want to turn the long-lost city into a scenic spot. “We’re looking at creating something that could be great for the region, and for 50 years and more down the road,” said Jay Warren, an Arkansas City Council member. “And we think the site could also be a hands-on field training facility for archaeologists from all over the world. ”

【1】What does the underlined phrase “tipped off” in paragraph 2 refer to?

A．Gave information to.

B．Let down.

C．Played tricks on.

D．Knocked off.

【2】What do we learn about Etzanoa from the text?

A．It was once home to over 20,000 Indians.

B．It witnessed great changes in the last few centuries.

C．It was a famous tourist attraction in the 16th century.

D．It was the largest Indian settlement in the U.S. at the time.

【3】What happened in 1601 according to the text?

A．The Indians were at war with the Spanish.

B．The Spanish explorers settled down in Arkansas City.

C．The Indians set up a large settlement in Arkansas City.

D．Etzanoa was abandoned by the Spanish and became a lost city.

【4】What is likely to happen to the long-lost city in the following years?

A．A museum will be set up there.

B．Tourism will be promoted there.

C．It will be returned to the native Indians.

D．It will be rebuilt into a large settlement.

24、   Many people have long  dreamed of being able to fly around as simply as riding a bicycle.

Yet the safety and strength of a flying bike was always a big problem. Over the past 10 years’ developments in technology have moved the dream of personal flying vehicle closer to reality. Now, two groups of inventors say such vehicles may be available very soon .

Grant Stapleton from Malloy Aeronautics says the Hoverbike, which is able to get in and out of small spaces very quickly, will be a truly personal flying vehicle. " It can be moved across continents very quickly because it can be folded and packed, " he adds.

Mr. Stapleton says safety was the company's main concern when developing the Hoverbike, He says the designers solved the safety issue by using overlapping rotors （折叠旋翼）to power the vehicle. The company is testing both a one-third size model and a full-size prototype （原型)）of the Hoverbike.

Inventors say their Hovebike will most likely be used first by the police and emergency rescue teams.

In New Zealand, the Martin Aircraft Company is also testing a full-size prototype of its personal flying bike, called Jetpack. It can fly for more than 30 minutes, up to 1,000 meters high and reach a speed of 74 kilometers per hour.

Peter Coker is the CEO of Martin Aircraft Company. He said Jetpack " is built around safety from the start ” In his words, reliability is the most important part of it. We have safety built into the actual structure itself very similar to a Formula One racing car."

Jetpack uses a gasoline-powered engine that produces two powerful jet streams. Mr. Coker says it also has a parachute （降落伞）that can be used should there be an emergency.

"It opens at a very low altitude and actually saves both the aircraft and the pilot in an emergency," he adds.

【1】Which of the following words can best describe the Hoverbike?

A.Powerful. B.convenient

C.graceful D.available.

【2】What make（s）flying vehicles seem practical now?

A.Modern technology. B.New safety rules.

C.Love of cycling. D.Public concerns.

【3】Who are expected to use the Hoverbike first?

A.People who dream of flying. B.People who really love cycling.

C.people who design the bike. D.People who serve public purposes.

25、Most teens I meet these days lack basic social courtesy (礼仪) when dealing with people.

My own son, who basically _______with his grandmother, the original manners guru (专家), has perfect table manners. This is partly because he was _______ to manners at a very young age. However, when we eat at home, he would not practise manners. So I asked him why. He said, “I behave the way I am supposed to _______ when I’m out, but when I am at home, I want to be _______”

That’s when I realized that most parents, myself included, do teach their children the proper way to behave outside the home, but they are also _______ to believe that at home, anything goes. My _______ to him was “good behavior has nothing to do with where you are or whom you are with.” Then he answered, “But I behave _______ when I’m with others so that they think better of me.” And that is when I realized that I was doing things all _______, I explained to him that it had nothing to do with what people think. This confused him even more. So I went on to explain that behavior, whether in your everyday _______ with people or at the dining table at home, is an __________ of who you are.

Well, at the age of 13, he got it. So what I am saying is that teaching your children __________ comes with the underlying (暗含的) lesson that it is not about what to do or not to do, but rather, who they are. This way it is not mechanical; it comes from within.

Teach your teens or children the __________ courtesy of greeting their friends’ parents and __________themselves when they go to someone’s home. Teach teenage boys to open the door of a car, or any door for anyone who __________, for any girl, whether they are their girlfriends or not. This includes holding elevator doors or letting women step out of the elevator first. Just __________ that teenage boys who practice good manners and courtesy grow up to become men who respect people in general.
