When you cut your skin, you bleed *. If a person loses a lot of blood, he will become ill and may die. Blood is very important. People have always known that. At one time, some people even drank blood to make them strong! When doctors understand how blood moves inside the body, they try ways of giving blood to people who need it. They take blood from healthy people and give it to people who need it. This is called a “blood transfusion”. The blood goes from the arm of the healthy person into the arm of the sick person. But there are two problems. First, it does not always work. Sometimes people die when they have a blood transfusion. Also we do not all have the same kind of blood. There are four groups – O, A, B and AB. Doctors can give any kind of blood to people of the group AB. But they find that they must give A-group blood to A-group people and B-group blood to B-group people. I have O-group blood and the doctor told me that I could give blood to anyone else safely. There is another problem. To give blood of the right kind, doctors have to find a person of the right blood group. Often they cannot find a person in time. If they have a way to keep the blood until someone needs it, they can always have the right kind of blood. By making the blood very cold, doctors find they can keep it for a very long time. In the end they find a way of keeping blood for a very long time. We call a place where we keep money a “bank”. We call a place where we keep blood a “blood bank”. One day, when you grow up, you may decide to give blood to a “blood bank”. In this way you may stop someone from dying. Or perhaps, one day, you may become ill, and you may need blood. The “blood bank” will give it to you. ( ) 52. People may die if they_______________.
A. lose a lot of blood

Ronald C．Arkin，a scientist，says people should do more study on the interaction(互动) between humans and robots before people depend on robots too much．

Usually schools and teachers set the class rules for students. But Wuhan school recently tried a different way. This year, the rules of Class 12, Grade 7 in No. 6 High School have been made by themselves—all 46 class students.
During the first days of this school year, the teacher allowed his student to make their own classroom rules, and asked each student to give a list of rules to help make their class a good learning environment. The whole class shared and discussed the lists. Later they added or took out some of rules. The rule—making activity lasted about a month. Finally the class had 30 rules.
Then, rule—making were asked to sign up to the rule list—their promise (承诺) to follow the rules. A poster with all the rules was put up beside the blackboard.
Most of the rules are about the way students should do. “No cell phone calls and text messages in class” and “No loud noise in the classroom.” are two examples. But there are also some for teachers, “No lessons should overrun” is one rule. Also some rules are strict with the students who break the rules. If a person is late for class above a certain number of times, he or she loses the chance to be an honor student.
Students say the rules work well in the classroom. “We are the rule—makers, so we
have to obey the rules that we agreed to,” said one of the students.

You’ve seen people in need after an earthquake，a flood or other disasters．Perhaps you’ve walked past homeless people who are living on the streets．Or maybe you’ve been to an animal shelter(庇护所)and wished you could give every pet a home．
So what can you do to help people(or animals)who need help? The answer is—volunteer!
Volunteering helps others，but it can help you，too．If you’re upset about something that’s happened——like an earthquake，doing something about it can be a great way to deal with your feelings．
Volunteering also lets you see your own life in new ways．Sometimes it’s easy to worry about something like grades or get annoyed because you don’t have the most expensive sports shoes or the newest computer game．Volunteering lets you spend some time caring more about others instead of yourself．
Lots of people find that they really enjoy volunteering．Volunteer experiences often put you in a different environment and bring you to people that you wouldn’t have come across in your usual life．For example，you might learn that just on the edge of your town are some kids who really need winter clothes．
It feels good to be able to meet a need 1ike that．You’ll know that, thanks to you, some kids have warm coats, hats, and boots．So whether it’s food for the hungry，winter clothes，or homes for unwanted pets，doing volunteer work means one very important thing：You make a difference in the world．

11、、【2012昆明市模拟】C(309words)
Children are natural scientists, very interested in the world around them. Helping them enjoy science can be easy; there’s no need for a lot of scientific terms（科学术语）or modern labs. You only have to share your children’s interests.
Firstly, listen to their questions. I once visited a classroom of seven-year-old children to talk about science as a job. The children asked me “textbook questions” about schooling, the money I got and whether I liked my job. When I finished answering, we sat facing each other silently. Finally I said, “Now that we’ve finished with your lists, do you have questions of your own about science?”
After a long wait, a boy put up his hand, “Have you ever seen a grasshopper(蚱蜢) eat? When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why?” This began a lot of questions that lasted nearly two hours.
Secondly, give them time to think. Studies over the past 30 years have shown that, after asking a question, many teachers usually wait only one second or less for an answer, no time for a child to think. When teachers increase their “wait time” to three seconds or more, children give better answers.
Thirdly, watch your language. When the child is having a science discussion, don’t jump in with “That’s right” or “Very good”. These words work well when it comes to encouraging a child to help others. But in talking about science, these words make a child think that the discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by saying, “That’s interesting” or “I’ve never thought of it that way before”, or coming up with more questions or ideas.
Lastly, show; don’t tell. Let children look at their hands through a microscope（显微镜）, and they’ll understand why you want them to wash before dinner….
81. To help children enjoy science, the most important thing for teachers to do is ___________.
A. let them see the world around B. let them study in modern labs
C. tell them the difficult terms on science D. share the children’s interests
82. In the last sentence of the second paragraph, the words “your lists” mean ____________.
A. your answers to the questions B. your own questions about science
C. your questions from textbooks D. all the questions of your own
83. According to the passage, children can give better answers to the questions if teachers ____.
A. ask them to answer quickly
B. wait for one or two seconds after a question
C. tell them to watch their language
D. wait at least three seconds after a question
84. The writer talks about all of the following ways except that teachers should ____________.
A. tell their children stories instead of telling them to remember facts
B. offer their children chances to see things for themselves
C. allow enough time for their children to find answers to the questions
D. encourage their children to ask questions of their own
85. The writer of the passage is probably ____________.
A a teacher B a scientist

A certain London taxi driver told of his job as follows.
During the night it is quite usual for him to stop two or three times for some refreshments (提神). He said, “I never drink when I’m working --- I would lose my license.”

London taxi drivers not only “take” but also “give”. Every summer hundreds of children from London will go for a day at the sea --- by taxi! Their rides are paid by the taxi drivers, and these all go to the “London Taxi for Underprivileged Children”. At the sea, they are met by the mayor (市长), and a lunch party is also held in honor of the taxi drivers and the children.

Be open to new ideas. Do you think people can live on the moon? Maybe you’ll find another earth someday. Don’t look down on new ideas. Everyone’s ideas are important. You should welcome them, because new ideas make life better for everyone.
Protect yourself. Has someone ever taken money from one of your classmates? Don’t let it happen to you. If you have to go home late, you should let your parents know.

Do you know that a fast reader can get the ideas better than a slow reader can? Of course, you save time by reading fast, but this is not the main reason for fast reading. The main reason is that you understand better what you are reading when you read fast.
As your eyes move along the line of point, they make fixations (固定) or pauses (暂停). It is important that you see several words at a fixation. It is also important that your eyes leave a group. The numbers of letters or words that you see at a fixation are called your eye span (视跨). Pay more attention to improving your rate of reading. With practice you can learn to read faster than you usually read.
The way in which you read always depends on (取决于) what you are reading and for what purpose. You should know the different ways of reading so that you can apply whatever method is necessary. Here are four ways of reading:
(1) Skimming is an important kind of reading. This method can be used when you wish to review something that you have forgotten. You can skim to get the main points.
(2) Rapid (快速) first reading and then rereading certain parts carefully is important. You may use this type of reading to study a science lesson or a history lesson.
(3) You need to do careful reading and rereading sometimes. This type of reading is necessary for making an intensive (细致的) study of your school subjects, solving maths problems or reading directions.
(4) Rapid reading is used when reading stories for enjoyment. You may also do rapid reading when reviewing materials that you already know well.
42. The main reason for reading fast is that you can ________.
A. get the ideas B. save time
C. understand better D. learn well
43. The way of reading always depends on ________.
A. the method that you like B. your reading material
C. your reading purpose D. both B and C
44. The word “skimming ” means “________”.

45. Careful reading is an important kind of reading ________.
A. when you review a lesson that you already know well

Once a baby cries, the parents will go to see what happened as soon as possible. According to a new study, a baby's cry can make adults react(反应) very quickly, even if they are not related.
Oxford University researchers used the classic game whack-a-mole for the study. Whack-a-mole(打鼹鼠游戏) requires people to hit one of nine buttons (按钮). The players must react as quickly as they can to whichever of the buttons lights up at random(随机). It is a game that requires speed and accuracy (准确度 ).
The study included 40 men and women volunteers aged 19 to 59. Some of them had sons or daughters but none had a baby at the time. They played whack-a-mole after listening to different sounds, including babies crying, the crying of adults in trouble and birdsong played at a similar pitch to the babies' cries.
The volunteers' scores were higher after listening to the sound of crying babies. Men and women had similar scores overall. The results showed that a crying baby gets special attention.
"Few sounds make people react quite like the cry of a baby," said Morten Kringelbach of Oxford's psychiatry（精神病学） department, who led the study. "For example, it's almost impossible to ignore(忽视，不理) crying babies on planes. This is true even though there are so many other noises around."
He added that a baby's cry can increase adults' heart rate and blood pressure. This is understandable, because in the course of human evolution (进化), taking care of babies has always been an important job for adults. When a baby is hungry or feeling bored or unwell, it will cry. As a result, human brains and bodies develop a special reaction to a baby's cry.
56. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. There were 80 volunteers who took part in the study.
B. The youngest volunteer was 19 and the oldest was 59.
C. Some volunteers had babies at that time in the study.
D. The volunteers were affected by the sound of a baby’s cry.
57. The game “whack-a-mole” shows ______.
A. a baby’s cry can get special attention from adults
B. men and women have different reaction speed and accuracy
C. adults without babies react less quickly to a baby’s cry
D. women react to a baby’s cry more quickly than men
58. “Whack-a-mole” requires people to hit _____ at a time.
A. one button? B. one of nine buttons
C. nine buttons D. ten buttons
59. According to the passage, a baby’s cry ______.
A. has the same pitch as birdsong
B. is the noisiest sound there is
C. can increase adults’ heart rate and blood pressure
D. is good for its health
60. From the last paragraph, we learn that ______.
A. taking care of the younger babies was the most important thing in the past
B. human brains and bodies have developed to take care of babies
C. baby cries are a good way make adults react quickly
D. baby cries have developed a lot during the course of human evolution

Living in a foreign culture can be exciting, but it can also be confusing(令人迷惑的). A group of Americans who taught English in other countries recently discussed their experiences. They decided that miscommunications(沟通误解)were always possible, even over something as simple as “yes” and “no”.
On her first day in Micronesia, an island in the Pacific(太平洋), Lisa thought people weren’t paying any attention to her. The day was hot. She went into a store and asked, “Do you have cold drinks?” The woman there didn’t say anything. Lisa repeated the question. Still the woman said nothing. She later learned that the woman had answered her: She had raised her eyebrows(眉毛)，which in Micronesia means “yes”.
Jan remembered an experience she had in Bulgaria, a country in Europe. She went to a restaurant that was famous for its cabbage. She asked the waiter, “Do you have cabbage today?” He nodded his head. Jan waited, but the cabbage never came. In that country, a nod means “no”.
Tom had a similar problem when arrived in India. After explaining something in class, he asked his students if they understood. They answered with many different nods and shakes of the head. He thought some people had not understood, so he explained again. When he asked again, they did the same thing. He soon found out that his students did understand. In India, people nod and shake their heads in different ways depending on(依据)where they come from. You have to know where a person is from to understand whether they mean “yes” or “no”.

For most people, the word “fashion” means “clothes”. But people may ask the question, “What clothes are in fashion?” And they use the adjective “fashionable” in the same way: “She was wearing a fashionable coat. His shirt was really a fashionable colour.” But of course there are fashions in many things, not only in clothes. There are fashions in holidays, in restaurants, in films and books. There are even fashions in school subjects, jobs…and in languages. Fashions change as time goes. If you look at pictures of people or things from the past, you will see that fashions have always changed. An English house of 1750 was different from one of 1650. A fashionable man in 1780 looked very different from his grandson in 1860. Today fashions change very quickly. Some of this is natural. We hear about things much more quickly than in the past. Newspaper, radios, telephones and television send information from one country to another in a few hours. New fashions mean that people will buy new things, so you see there is money in fashion.

Once she was beautiful and rich, but now she becomes dirtier and dirtier, poorer and poorer. It is due to what we have done to her.

Can she bear to see her children putting the waste here and there? Can she bear to see her children cutting down the trees and destroying the grassland, to see the acid rain destroying everything? Can we bear to see our mother suffering (受苦) so much? Isn’t it time for us to ask ourselves whether this is the way to treat our mother?
Floods, droughts, acid rain..., these are the punishments (惩罚) from nature. Everyone should know that there is only one earth.
