A If there is no difference in general intelligence（智力）between boys and girls, what can explain girls' poor performance in science and mathematics?
It seems to be that their treatment at school is a direct cause．Mathematics and science are seen as subjects mainly for boys，and therefore，as girls become teenagers，they are less likely to take them. Interestingly，both boys and girls often regard the subjects for boys as more difficult. Yet it has been suggested that girls do not take mathematics courses，not because they are difficult, but for social reasons．Girls do not want to be in open competition with boys they are afraid to appear less feminine（女性的）and attractive.
However，if we examine the performance of boys and girls who have taken mathematics courses，there are still more high-achieving boys than there are girls．This difference appears to be world-wide．Biological explanations have been offered for this，but there are other explanations too．
Perhaps the difference which comes out during the teenage years has its roots in much earlier experiences．From their first days in kindergarten，boys are encouraged to work on their own and to complete tasks. Facts show that outstanding（杰出的）mathematicians and scientists have not had teachers who supplied answers．
Besides，there can be little doubt that teachers of mathematics and science expect their boy students to do better at these subjects than their girl students．They even appear to encourage the difference between boys and girls．They spend more time with the boy students，giving them more time to answer questions and working harder to get correct answers from them．They are more likely to call on boys for answers and to allow them to take the lead in classroom discussion．They also praise boys more frequently．All of this seems to encourage boys to work harder in science and mathematics and to give them confidence（信心）that they are able to succeed．
Such a way of teaching is not likely to encourage girls to take many mathematics and science courses，nor is it likely to support girls who do．When it comes to these subjects it seem certain that school widens the difference between boys and girls．
41．Girls are likely to think that ______．
A．science courses are for both boys and girls B．science courses make them more popular
C．science courses make them successful D．science courses are difficult for them
42．The text mainly discusses ____reasons for the difference between boys and girls in scientific achievements．
A．biological B．historical C．social D．personal
43．What are boys usually encouraged to do at school?
A．To get help with their homework． B．To play the leading role in class．
C．To work with girl students in class． D．To learn to take care of others．
44．What does the passage say about great mathematicians?
A．Their teachers did not supply answers to them.
B．They started learning mathematics at an earlier age．
C．They showed mathematical abilities in their teenage years．
D．Their success resulted from their strong interest in mathematics．
45．Me author would probably agree that ______．
A．boys and girls s and learn in the same way B．boys and girls are equal in general intelligence
C．girls are more confident in themselves than before D．girls should take fewer science courses than boys
B
Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course that he attends gives him a credit that he may count towards a degree .In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty—six courses each lasting for one semester .A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.
For every course that he follows a student is given a grade , which is recorded ,and the record is available for the student to show to prospective employers .All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work ,but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm .Students who advise the academic authorities usually perform the effective work of maintaining discipline .Any student ,who is thought to have broken the rules ,for example by cheating ,has to appear before a student court .With the enormous numbers of students ,the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career.
46．Normally a student would at least attend classes each week.
A．12 B．15 C．20 D．36
47．According to the first paragraph an American student is allowed .
A．to live in a different university B．to live at home and drive to class
C．to get two degrees from two different universities
D．to take a particular course in a different university
48．American university students are usually under pressure of work because .
A．their academic performance will affect their careers

B．they will then be able to stay longer in the university
C．such positions help them get better jobs
D．such positions are usually well paid

The science of meteorology(气象学) is concerned with the study of the structure, state, and behavior of the atmosphere. The subject may be approached from several directions, but the scene cannot be fully appreciated from any one vantage point. Different views must be combined to give the whole picture.
One may consider the condition of the atmosphere at a given moment and attempt to predict changes from that condition over a period of a few hours to a few days ahead. This approach is covered by the branch of the science called synoptic meteorology.
Synoptic meteorology is the scientific basis of the technique of weather forecasting by means of the preparation and analysis of weather maps and aerological diagrams(高空气象图).The practical importance of the numerous applications of weather forecasting cannot be overestimated. In serving the needs of shipping, navigation, agriculture, industry, and many other interests and fields of human activity with accurate weather warnings and professional forecast advice, great benefits can be earned in the form of the saving of human life and property and in economic advantages of various kinds. One important purpose of meteorology is constantly to try, through advanced study and research, to increase our knowledge of the atmosphere with the aim of improving the accuracy(精确性) of weather forecasts.
The tools needed to advance our knowledge in this way are the disciplines of mathematics and physics applied to solve meteorological problems. The use of these tools forms that branch of the science called dynamic(动力的) meteorology.
51. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. The Limitations of Meteorological Forecasting B. New Advances in Synoptic Meteorology
C. Approaches to the Science of Meteorology D. The Basis of Dynamic Meteorology
52. The predictions(预测) of synoptic meteorologists are directly based on the .
A. application of the physical sciences B. preparation and study of weather maps
C. expected needs of industry D. observations of commercial airline pilots
53. Which of the following is NOT referred to by the author as a field whose needs are served by weather forecasting?
A. Transportation. B. Manufacturing(制造业). C. Farming. D. Sports.
54The author implies that increased accuracy in weather forecasting will lead to .
A. more money used in meteorological research B. greater protection of human life
C. a higher number of professional forecasters D. less-specialized forms of synoptic meteorology
55. In the last sentence of the passage, the phrase “these tools” refers to .
A. weather forecasts B. meteorological developments
C. mathematics and physics D. economic advantages

Dear Brian,
I’m glad you are interested in my hometown, New City, and I’m now giving you a brief introduction to it.
New City lies in West China. It is a new city growing with the Great West Development. Firstly, the city has been designed to high standards, with broad streets and roads. Everywhere is green grass, beautiful flowers and trees alongside modern style high buildings. So the environment is wonderful. Secondly, public facilities are advanced, which makes the life of the citizens more convenient, such as facilities for transportation, education, and medical treatment. Large shopping centers attract a lot of people every day but the streets are not crowded since the population is not large. Of course the city is just going on its way and things will get on smoothly.
Talk to you next time.

However，if we examine the performance of boys and girls who have taken mathematics courses，there are still more high-achieving boys than there are girls．This difference appears to be world-wide．Biological explanations have been offered for this，but there are other explanations too．
Perhaps the difference which comes out during the teenage years has its roots in much earlier experiences．From their first days in kindergarten，boys are encouraged to work on their own and to complete tasks. Facts show that outstanding（杰出的）mathematicians and scientists have not had teachers who supplied answers．
Besides，there can be little doubt that teachers of mathematics and science expect their boy students to do better at these subjects than their girl students．They even appear to encourage the difference between boys and girls．They spend more time with the boy students，giving them more time to answer questions and working harder to get correct answers from them．They are more likely to call on boys for answers and to allow them to take the lead in classroom discussion．They also praise boys more frequently．All of this seems to encourage boys to work harder in science and mathematics and to give them confidence（信心）that they are able to succeed．
Such a way of teaching is not likely to encourage girls to take many mathematics and science courses，nor is it likely to support girls who do．When it comes to these subjects it seem certain that school widens the difference between boys and girls．
41．Girls are likely to think that ______．
A．science courses are for both boys and girls B．science courses make them more popular
C．science courses make them successful D．science courses are difficult for them
42．The text mainly discusses ____reasons for the difference between boys and girls in scientific achievements．

C．To work with girl students in class． D．To learn to take care of others．
44．What does the passage say about great mathematicians?
A．Their teachers did not supply answers to them.
B．They started learning mathematics at an earlier age．
C．They showed mathematical abilities in their teenage years．
D．Their success resulted from their strong interest in mathematics．
45．Me author would probably agree that ______．
A．boys and girls s and learn in the same way B．boys and girls are equal in general intelligence
C．girls are more confident in themselves than before D．girls should take fewer science courses than boys

Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course that he attends gives him a credit that he may count towards a degree .In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty—six courses each lasting for one semester .A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.
For every course that he follows a student is given a grade , which is recorded ,and the record is available for the student to show to prospective employers .All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work ,but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm .Students who advise the academic authorities usually perform the effective work of maintaining discipline .Any student ,who is thought to have broken the rules ,for example by cheating ,has to appear before a student court .With the enormous numbers of students ,the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career.
46．Normally a student would at least attend classes each week.
A．12 B．15 C．20 D．36
47．According to the first paragraph an American student is allowed .
A．to live in a different university B．to live at home and drive to class

The science of meteorology(气象学) is concerned with the study of the structure, state, and behavior of the atmosphere. The subject may be approached from several directions, but the scene cannot be fully appreciated from any one vantage point. Different views must be combined to give the whole picture.
One may consider the condition of the atmosphere at a given moment and attempt to predict changes from that condition over a period of a few hours to a few days ahead. This approach is covered by the branch of the science called synoptic meteorology.
Synoptic meteorology is the scientific basis of the technique of weather forecasting by means of the preparation and analysis of weather maps and aerological diagrams(高空气象图).The practical importance of the numerous applications of weather forecasting cannot be overestimated. In serving the needs of shipping, navigation, agriculture, industry, and many other interests and fields of human activity with accurate weather warnings and professional forecast advice, great benefits can be earned in the form of the saving of human life and property and in economic advantages of various kinds. One important purpose of meteorology is constantly to try, through advanced study and research, to increase our knowledge of the atmosphere with the aim of improving the accuracy(精确性) of weather forecasts.
The tools needed to advance our knowledge in this way are the disciplines of mathematics and physics applied to solve meteorological problems. The use of these tools forms that branch of the science called dynamic(动力的) meteorology.
51. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. The Limitations of Meteorological Forecasting B. New Advances in Synoptic Meteorology
C. Approaches to the Science of Meteorology D. The Basis of Dynamic Meteorology
52. The predictions(预测) of synoptic meteorologists are directly based on the .
A. application of the physical sciences B. preparation and study of weather maps
C. expected needs of industry D. observations of commercial airline pilots
53. Which of the following is NOT referred to by the author as a field whose needs are served by weather forecasting?
A. Transportation. B. Manufacturing(制造业). C. Farming. D. Sports.
54The author implies that increased accuracy in weather forecasting will lead to .
A. more money used in meteorological research B. greater protection of human life
C. a higher number of professional forecasters D. less-specialized forms of synoptic meteorology
55. In the last sentence of the passage, the phrase “these tools” refers to .
A. weather forecasts B. meteorological developments
C. mathematics and physics D. economic advantages

Dear Brian,
I’m glad you are interested in my hometown, New City, and I’m now giving you a brief introduction to it.
New City lies in West China. It is a new city growing with the Great West Development. Firstly, the city has been designed to high standards, with broad streets and roads. Everywhere is green grass, beautiful flowers and trees alongside modern style high buildings. So the environment is wonderful. Secondly, public facilities are advanced, which makes the life of the citizens more convenient, such as facilities for transportation, education, and medical treatment. Large shopping centers attract a lot of people every day but the streets are not crowded since the population is not large. Of course the city is just going on its way and things will get on smoothly.
Talk to you next time.
Wang Ping
