21、   NO ONE EVER said science education was easy. Certainly the concepts we teach, like conservation of momentum or quantum mechanics, can be hard to grasp. But what really complicates the attempt is that we' re also trying to teach a deeper lesson at the same time — to help students understand the nature of science itself.

All too often, young people get the impression that science is about learning certain “laws" and then applying them to different situations. After all, that's what we make them do on tests, to show that they've been doing the work. But that’s not it at all. Science is the process of building these concepts through the collection of experimental evidence.

And while I'm on it, let's call these concepts what they really are—not laws, but models. Science is all about building and testing models. It's difficult to help students understand that aspect of science when we just give them the models to begin with. Sure, in physics we often include historical or mathematical evidence to support big ideas , but that often isn't enough.

Of course, we can't start from nothing. If students had to build their own models from the ground up, it would be like trying to learn programming by inventing computers. As Isaac Newton is supposed to have said, we stand on the shoulders of giants. We must take models built by others and go from there.

What I'd like to suggest is that this actually provides a great way into the adventure of science and an opportunity to meet our objectives as educators. If you can create a situation that challenges students' assumptions and produces conceptual conflict, that's a great opportunity for learning.

【1】What is the misunderstanding of teaching science?

A．It's complicated.

B．It focuses on the nature of science.

C．It's very difficult.

D．It lies in leaching and testing “laws”.

【2】Which way to teach science is highly recommended by the author?

A．Encouraging students to always start from nothing.

B．Providing students with some models to follow suit.

C．Guiding students to begin with models built by others.

D．0ffering students proof io support important concepts.

【3】The author cites Isaac Newton's words to           .

A．justify the experiment

B．praise the statement

C．show the achievement

D．support the argument

【4】What is the best title of die passage?

A．The Best Way to Teach Science

B．The Best Way of Concept Building

C．The Best Way to Learn Science

D．The Best Way to Handle Concept Conflict

22、What Secrets Your Voice Reveals About You

So, have you ever stepped back and wondered what your voice sounds like to other people?【1】. And it turns out, it says a lot about us.

·Your voice hints at how social you are

【2】. Extroverts tend to talk loudly, quickly, and excitedly. Introverts tend to speak quietly and more slowly. So, if you're that loud person at a party, you'll probably find that all eyes are on you, whereas introverts won't likely be at that party at all.

·Your voice says something about your height

This may sound strange, but if people close their eyes and hear you speak, they can probably tell if you're tall or short.【3】, whereas shorter people tend to have a higher voice. This is true for both men and women.

·【4】

If you've noticed a lot of changes in a person's voice—the pace at which they talk, the tone and pitch of their voice, or whether their voice has become quieter—they may have Parkinson's disease. These changes can happen in the voice due to the tremors(震颤)that a patient would be experiencing.

·Your voice can tell how successful you are

Successful people's voices tend to be of a lower, warmer tone. Their words come out evenly, and their vocal cords won't be tight.【5】, but not so loudly that they're unpleasant to listen to.

A.Taller people tend to have a deeper voice

B.Your voice can tell others about your health

C.Your voice reveals how professional you are

D.They'll speak loudly enough to make themselves heard

E.A confident person will have a smooth and steady tone

F.Specifically, people can tell whether you're an extrovert or introvert

G.Your friends and family can probably identify you just by the sound of your voice

23、   A raised eyebrow, a puzzled look or a nod of the head are just a few of the facial expressions computers could soon be using to read people’s minds.

An emotionally aware” computer being developed by British and American scientists will be able to read an individuals thoughts by analyzing a combination of facial movements that represent underlying feelings.

“The system we have developed allows a wide range of mental states to be identified just by pointing a video camera at someone, “ said Professor Peter Robinson of the University of Cambridge.

He believes the mind-reading computer’s applications could range from improving people’s driving skills to helping companies tailor advertising to people’s moods(心情).

“Imagine a computer that could pick the right emotional moment to try to sell you something, a future where mobile phones, cars and Web sites could read our mind and react to our moods,” he added.

The researchers, who are developing the technology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States, also hope to get it to accept other inputs such as posture(姿势)and gesture.

“Our research could enable Web sites to tailor advertising or products to your mood,” said Robinson. “For example, a Webcam(网络摄相机) linked with our software could process your image, encode the correct emotional state and send information to a Web site.” It could also be useful in online teaching to show whether someone understands what is being explained and in improving road safety by determining if a driver is confused, bored or tired.

“We are working with a car company, and they believe this will be employed in cars within five years,” Robinson said, adding that a camera could be built into the dashboard(仪表板).

【1】Why is the computer described as “emotionally aware”?

A．It can store your thoughts.

B．It can express its feelings.

C．It thinks the same way as you.

D．It knows what you are feeling.

【2】Which word can best replace the underlined word “tailor” in Paragraph 4?

A．Suit.

B．Turn.

C．Devote.

D．Reduce.

【3】What is the purpose of the camera to be built into the dashboard of a car?

A．To identify the driver’s mental state.

B．To help the driver learn driving skills.

C．To send traffic information to a Web site.

D．To record the driver’s facial movements.

【4】In introducing the mind-reading computer, the text focuses on       .

A．its development

B．its designers

C．its applications

D．its working process

24、Mobile phones have become a must-have in our modern society. They have become a central technology in a variety of aspects, not just regular conversations.

The reason behind the growth of mobile phones is that they have changed the way communication has been perceived by humans. The mobile devices permit rapid communication in all forms and they have truly made the world a smaller place. It is possible to use a mobile device to send locations, pictures, and videos now. Most crucially, they have become flexible in usage, with something for everyone.

The modern society has accepted mobile phones in a big way but it has come at a cost. Today, there’s great dependence on mobile devices even for basic actions like knowing the time. The addiction to mobile phones has become such a huge problem that people tend to be glued to their devices even when communication is not taking place. This is because mobile phones have become the hub (中心) for receiving entertainment at any time of the day.

A few years ago, “The World Unplugged” study was carried out to analyze the risk of mobile devices in our day-to-day lives. An experiment was conducted to see how long an individual can go without mobile devices. Participants were asked to stay away from their mobile phones for 24 hours and they ended up developing plenty of psychological symptoms, while some even displayed physical problems.

The mobile devices have indeed made our lives much more convenient, but they have also brought about plenty of health issues. In some cases, the mobile devices may have improved the quality of life, but we cannot deny the fact that they have become the medium through which anxiety, depression, nervousness, and loneliness spread around us. It is of great importance to use them with caution to avoid developing too much of an attachment to them.

【1】Why do mobile phones become a central technology in our daily lives?

A．They allow diverse forms of communication.

B．They make the planet we live on smaller in size.

C．They make regular conversations faster and easier.

D．They have changed how humans perceive themselves.

【2】What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?

A．The cost of mobile phones.

B．The problem with mobile phone usage.

C．The entertaining aspect of mobile phones.

D．The wide acceptance toward mobile phones.

【3】What conclusion can we draw from the experiment in Paragraph 4?

A．Mobile device usage has few risks.

B．Our daily lives depend on mobile devices.

C．Mobile devices will cause physical problems.

D．The participants were addicted to mobile devices.

【4】Which of the following will the author most probably agree with?

A．We should limit our mobile phone usage.

B．We should stay away from mobile phones.

C．Mobile phones can help with health issues.

D．Mobile phones are the source of negative emotions.
