Most people are right-handed. This fact also seems to have held true (26)______ history. In 1977, scientists studied works of art made at various times starting with cave drawings from 15,000 B.C. and ending with paintings from the 1950s. Most of the people (27)______ (show) in these works of art are right-handed.
Many researchers claim (28)______ (find)relationships between left-handedness and various physical and mental characteristics. However, (29)______ of these connections are very weak, and others have not been proven.What makes a person become right-handed rather than left-handed? As yet, no one really knows for sure. (30)______ ______ ______ reasons may be behind it, people’s attitudes toward left-handedness have changed a lot over the years. There are even a number of shops (31)______ (specialize) in selling products for left-handed people, such as left-handed scissors, can openers, guitars, and even a left-handed camera.In 1976, Left-Handers International, a group of left-handed people in Topeka, Kansas, in the United States, decided to start (32)______ annual event in order to clear up misunderstandings about left-handedness.
(B)
Motivating Students
(33)______ ______ a young child might be nervous about starting school, he or she is often excited on the first day of school. Perhaps that excitement lasts through the first few years of school. But over time, many children are much (34) ______ (excited) about going to school because school becomes a place of ―all work and no play.‖As the years go by, students
(35)______(pressure) to do more work and to do it better, make better test scores, and have a higher class rank. It is therefore not surprising that by middle school many students lose interest in school and learning.
Teachers face a big challenge in such a situation. When they enter a classroom (36)______ ______ most of the students do not want to be there and do not want to study, how can they teach?

Section B
Directions:Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
―Once we spread out into space and establish independent colonies, our future should be safe,‖Stephen Hawking says.Stephen Hawking, one of the world’s most important scientists, believes that to __41__, humans must move into space.
Today, the United States, India, China, and Japan are all planning to send astronauts back to Earth’s closest __42__: the moon. Each country wants to create space stations there between 2020 and 2030. These stations will __43__prepare humans to visit and later live on Mars or other Earth-like planets.
Robert Zubrin, a rocket scientist, thinks humans should __44__ space. He wants to start with Mars. Why? There are several advantages: for one, sending people to the moon and Mars will allow us to learn a lot—for example, whether living on other planets is possible. Then, we can eventually__45__ new human societies on other planets. In addition, the __46__ we make for space travel in the fields of science, technology, medicine, and health can also benefit us here on Earth.
But not everyone thinks sending humans into space is a(n)__47__ idea. Many say it’s too expensive to send people, even on a short __48__. And most space trips are not short. A one-way trip to Mars, for example, would take about six months. People travelling this kind of distance face a number of health problems. Also, for many early space __49__, life would be extremely
difficult. On the moon’s surface, for example, the air and the sun’s rays are very dangerous. People would have to stay indoors most of the time.
Despite these __50__, sending people into space seems certain. In the future, we might see lunar(月球上的) cities and maybe even new human cultures on other planets.
III. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
When you say that someone has a good memory, what exactly do you mean? Are you saying that the person has fast recall or that he or she__51__ information quickly? Or maybe you just mean that the person remembers a lot about her or his childhood. The truth is that it is __52__ to say exactly what memory is. Even scientists who have been studying memory for decades say they are still trying to __53__ exactly what it is. We do know that a particular memory is not just one thing stored somewhere in the brain. __54__, a memory is made up of bits and pieces of information stored all over the brain. Perhapsthe best way to __55__ memory is to say that it is a process—a process of recording, storing, and getting back information. Practice and repetition can help to __56__ the pieces that make up our memory of that information.
Memory can be __57__ affected by a number of things. __58__ nutrition can affect a person’s ability to store information. Excessive alcohol use can also weaken memory and cause permanent __59__ to the brain over the long term. A vision or hearing problem may affect a person’s ability to notice certain things, thus making it __60__ to register information in the brain.
When people talk about memory, they often__61__ short-term memory and long-term memory. If you want to call a store or an office that you don’t call often, you look in the telephone book for the number. You dial the number, and then you forget it! You use your short-term memory to remember the number. Your short-term memory lasts about 30 seconds, or half a minute. __62__, you don’t need to look in the telephone book for your best friend’s number, because you already know it. This number is in your long-term memory, which __63__ information about things you have learned and experienced through the years.
Why do you forget things sometimes? The major reason for forgetting something is that you did not learn it well enough __64__. For example, if you meet some new people and right away forget their names, it is because you did not __65__ the names at the first few seconds when you heard them.

Section B
Directions:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
In 1991, high in the mountains of Europe, hikers made a discovery: a dead man partly frozen in the ice. However, the police investigation soon became a scientific one. Carbon dating indicated that the man died over 5,300 years ago. Today he is known as the Iceman and has been nicknamed ―?tzi‖ for the ?tztal Alps where he was found. Kept in perfect condition by the ice, he is the oldest complete human body on the earth.
Scientists think he was an important person in his society. An examination of his teeth and skull tells us that he was not a young man.His arms were not the arms of a laborer. His dagger(匕首) was made of stone, but he carried a copper axe. This implies wealth, and he was probably from the upper classes.We know he could make fire, as a fire-starting kit was discovered with him. Even the food he had eaten enabled scientists to reason exactly where in Italy he lived.
But why did the Iceman die in such a high and icy place? There have been many theories. Some said he was a lost shepherd. Others thought he was killed in a religious ceremony. Over the years since he was found, tiny scientific discoveries have led to great changes in our understanding of the story of the Iceman. The newest scientific information indicates that he was cruelly murdered. ―Even five years ago, the story was that he fled up there and walked around in the snow and probably died of exposure,‖said Klaus Oeggl, a scientist at the University of Innsbruc k in Austria. ―Now i t’s all changed. It’s more like a…crime scene.‖
In June 2001, an X-ray examination of the body showed a small dark shape beneath the Iceman’s left shoulder. It was the stone head of an arrow. It had caused a deadly injury that probably killed him very quickly. In 2003, an Australian scientist discovered the blood of four different people on the clothes of the Iceman. Did a bloody fight take place before his murder? Injuries on his hand and head indicate that this may be true. One theory, put forward by
archeologist (考古学家) WalterLeitner, says that the Iceman’s murder was the end of a fight for power among his people. However, this idea is certainly debatable.
66. What does ―?tzi‖refer to ________.
A. the oldest perfectly preserved human body
B. the most famous tourist attraction?tztal Alps
C. an important discovery by the police of Europe
D. the person living in ?tztal Alps for a long time
67. After the examination of the Iceman, scientists believe that ________.
A. he died at an early age
B. he made a fire-starting kit
C. he had a higher social status
D. he was born at a village in Italy
68. According to Klaus Oeggl, the Iceman died from________.
A. a serious disease
B. a snow disaster
C. a religious faith
D. a terrible murder
69. What is the passage mainly talking about?
A. The life of ancient people in the AlpsMountains.
B. The cruel religious life of the Europeans in the past.
C. The discovery andpossiblecause of death of the Iceman.
D. The application of carbon dating technology to the Iceman.

(C)
Big trees are incredibly important ecologically. For a start, they provide food for countless other species and shelter for many animals. With their tall branches in the sun, they capture vast amounts of energy. This allows them to produce massive crops of fruit and flowers that sustain much of the animal life in the forest.
Only a small number of tree species have the genetic abilityto grow really big. The biggest are native to North America, but big trees grow all over the globe, from the tropics to the forests of the high latitudes(纬度). To achieve giant size, a tree needs three things: the right place to establish its seedling, good growing conditions and lots of time with low adult death rate. Lose any of these, and you will lose your biggest trees.
In some parts of the world, populations of big trees are dwindling because their seedlings cannot survive. In southern India, for instance, an aggressive non-native bush, Lantana camara, is
invading the floor of many forests. Lantana grows so thickly that young trees often fail to take root. With no young trees to replace them, it is only a matter of time before most of the big trees disappear.
Without the right growing conditions, trees cannot get really bigand there is some evidence to suggest tree growth could slow in a warmer world, particularly in environments that are already warm. Having worked for decades at La Selva Biological Station in Puerto Viejo de Sarapiqui, Costa Rica, David and Deborah Clark and colleagues have shown that tree growth there declines markedly in warmer years. ―During the day, their growth shuts down when it gets too warm, and at night they consume more energy because their metabolic(新陈代谢的) ra te increases,‖ explains David Clark. With less energy produced in warmer years and more being consumed just to survive, there is even less energy available for growth.
The Clarks’ theory, if correct, means tropical forests would shrink over time.The largest, oldest trees would progressively die off and tend not to be replaced. According to the Clarks, this might cause a destabilization of the climate; as older trees die, forests would release some of their stored carbon into the atmosphere, causing a cycle of further warming, forest shrinkage and carbon emissions.
Besides, big trees face threats from elsewhere.
73. According to the passage, big trees make great contributions to theecosystem because ________.
A. they can capture large amounts of energy
B. they determine the change of global climate
C. they provide the essentials for many creatures
D. they can avoid a new cycle of further warming
74. All the following factors are a must for making big trees EXCEPT ______.
A. no deadly damage
B. genetic contribution
C. ideal environmentfor growth
D. high-latitude location
75. The word ―dwindling‖ (paragraph3) is closest in meaning to ―______‖.
A. exploding
B. growing
C. changing
D. declining
76. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Big trees in trouble.
B. Advantages of big trees.
C. Results of big trees’ disappearing.
D. Importanceof big trees to humans.
77. What will the author most probably discuss after the last paragraph?
A. More threats to the existence of big tress.
B. The effect of human activities on big trees.
C. Benefits of big trees to the whole atmosphere.
D. Comparison between common trees and big ones.
Section C
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.
Different people may find that different learning methods work best for them. While some would turn to tutoring in order to get better grades, others choose to join study groups. In fact, many universities encourage their students to form study groups and make good use of them.
―Two heads are better than one.‖ That’s the simple idea behind study groups. By participating in a study group, students can benefit from some of their best academic resources: other students. They get to pick each other’s brains and improve their own understanding of different problems. Moreover, study groups can create the slightly tense atmosphere in which it’s good to study. For example, some students tend to procrastinate (拖延) when they are studying by themselves; however, by joining a study group, they get to observe their peers who are working diligently and are likely to thus have motivation for working harder.
Study groups work best when they are small, but not too small—four to five participants is about right. And it’s necessary to make sure everyone has the same goal, to prepare for a particular test, to discuss class readings or to review the week’s lecture notes. Besides, socializing in the group would make studying more fun as long as it took up only a small portion of group study time.
In addition, to maximize the efficiency, some study groups like to assign members certain roles, and thus efficiency will be promoted. Besides an organizer, who gets group members to agree to a common purpose and a convenient time and place, there often is a group member playing the role of a source-seeker, whose duty is to remind group members to identify their sources. For instance, when a group member says ―I read somewhere that ... ,‖ the source-seeker should ask for specifics. This person reminds t he group that it’s important to know who said what and where it was said. And a gatekeeper, who tries to make sure that all group members are participating, may ask a direct question to help a shy person participate, or find a way to get a dominating member to listen.
(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS.)
78. Many universities encourage students to take advantage of ________ for better grades rather than learning alone.
79. Peers are not only the best academic resources but also motivate each other to _________ when learning in groups.
80. According to paragraph 3, besides the small size, what are the other two factors that could help
a study group work best?
81. All the members in the study group will be assigned different roles because people believe that it will result in _______.

Section B Passages
Directions: In section B, you will hear two short passages, and you will be asked three questions on each of the passages. The passages will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.
Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
One afternoon after the death of her grandfather, Carol lay on her bed, crying. Her mother asked, ―W hat's the matter, honey?‖
―I miss my grandpa. I miss talking to him about my problems,‖ Carol said.
―I know,‖ said her mother. ―I miss him too. But can't you talk to me?‖ Carol shook her head. ―Why not?‖ Mother persisted.
―Because you're what we talked about,‖ sobbed Carol.
Children may not enjoy heart-to-heart talk with their parents, however much Mom and Dad may love them. And adults may choose not to discuss problems with many of their friends, co-workers or distant family. But it is important to have SOMEONE with whom we can be emotionally close. Most people have nobody who they feel they could telephone at 2:00 in the morning if their lives fall apart. Nobody they think would be glad to hear their problems.
The world is so empty if one thinks only of mountains, rivers and cities; but to know someone here and there who thinks and feels with us, and who is close to us in spirit, this makes the earth an inhabited garden. Is the earth, for you, more like a lonely desert or an inhabited garden? The difference may simply be in whom you feel free to call at 2:00 AM. Do you have such a person? And are you such a person for someone else?
A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words. If we are to find the kind of friend who knows the song in our hearts, we must also BE that kind of friend.
Questions
11. Why didn’t Carol want to talk with her mother as she did to her grandfather?
12. Which is true according to the passage?
13. What does this passage want to explain?
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
In the high mountain country outside the city of Toluker, there stands a prison. This prison is quite different from other prisons in the world. The guards, except for two at the main gate, are not armed. There are many remarkable things about Toluker prison. For example, of the 15,000 individuals who have been in prison at Toluker, less than two percent have got into trouble again with the law. Men in the open prison are free to find work on the outside but must go back to prison each night. On weekends they are allowed to go home. When most other prisons are still sending criminals back into society,Toluker is returning people who stand on their own feet and contribute to society. In 1974, a prisoner called Barb Crook moved to the open prison. A year later, he left Toluker for the last time. He was then nearly forty six and had been in prison for fourteen years. He got a job as construction worker in the city, remarried and was regarded as a useful person of his community. If you ask Bob why Toluker works, he would say,―Because they believed in me when I was at my worst.‖
Questions

状元考前提醒 拿到试卷：熟悉试卷 刚拿到试卷一般心情比较紧张，建议拿到卷子以后看看考卷一共几页， 有多少道题，了解试卷结构，通览全卷是克服“前面难题做不出，后面易 题没时间做”的有效措施，也从根本上防止了“漏做题”。 答题策略 答题策略一共有三点： 1. 先易后难、先熟后生。先做简单的、熟悉的题，再做综合题、难题。 2. 先小后大。先做容易拿分的小题，再做耗时又 复杂的大题。3. 先局部后整体。把疑难问题划分成一系列的步骤，一步一 步的解决，每解决一步就能得到一步的分数。 立足中下题目，力争高水平 考试时，因为时间和个别题目的难度，多数学生很难做完、做对全部题目，所以在答卷中要立足中下题目。中下题目通常占全卷的80%以上，是试题的主要构成，学生能拿下这些题目，实际上就是有了胜利在握的心理，对攻克高档题会更放得开。 确保运算正确，立足一次性成功 在答卷时，要在以快为上的前提下，稳扎稳打，步步准确，尽量一次 性成功。不能为追求速度而丢掉准确度，甚至丢掉重要的得分步骤。试题 做完后要认真做好解后检查，看是否有空题，答卷是否准确，格式是否规 范。 要学会“挤”分 考试试题大多分步给分，所以理科要把主要方程式和计算结果写在显要位置，文科尽量把要点写清晰，作文尤其要注意开头和结尾。考试时，每一道题都认真思考，能做几步就做几步，对于考生来说就是能做几分是几分，这是考试中最好的策略。 检查后的涂改方式要讲究 发现错误后要划掉重新写，忌原地用涂黑的方式改，这会使阅卷老师看不清。如果对现有的题解不满意想重新写，要先写出正确的，再划去错误的。有的同学先把原来写的题解涂抹了，写新题解的时间又不够，本来可能得的分数被自己涂掉了。考试期间遇到这些事，莫慌乱！

各种刊物发表了70余篇参与者的文章，这是上个世纪90年代以来最热闹的一场学术争鸣，怎样的作品才算经典？人们各执一词，难辨是非。 ②只有回到“人类为什么需要经典”这样一个问题的原点上，才能洞察到解决这一问题的有效方法。可以肯定，文学史家和批评家有谁不渴望了解更多的甚至全部文学现象呢？可这并不现实，不是他们不想了解更多，而是做不到，是不可能。于是文学史家在他们所写的文学史中，譬如，据说中国唐代创作的 诗歌大概有10 人，不同程度地讨论几百首诗歌；中国人编写的外国文学史，所展开讨论的作家一般也都限制在两位数以内，集中解读的作品多则在百部左右，把提到的作品算在内一般也就在六七百部上下。在这些中外文学史中集中阐释的作家，我们在一般情况下就会称为经典作家，集中阐释的作品我们也会称为经典作品。 ③人们面对浩瀚的文学世界，只选择了一部分来接触，这并非意味着要放弃全面把握认知对象的愿望，而是要同时实现两个目的：一是较少的认知投入；二是要了解更多。前者是量力而行，后者是靠近认知目的。那么，怎样才能实现看起来相互矛盾的两个目的呢？其基本思路就是企望以“较少”代表“许多”。文学史家和批评家所提供的所谓经典不论恰当不恰当，其核心标准就是这些作家作品的“代表性”，意在通过这些“代表”来实现 的目的。 ④由此可见，文学经典就是“读者认知需要的代表”。历史上经典的选择和确认首先发生在人类的教育过程中，这一反复出现的事实同样证明着经典与人们的认知需要的紧密关联。人们在生活的经历中会遇到许许多多的疑问和困惑，这些疑问和困惑并非都是认识上的问题，还有价值认同、身份确证、理想的达成、生命的安顿等方面。虽然有很多学科都在努力寻求问题的答案，诸如哲学、伦理学、历史学、科学等，但文学能够以其形象的世界和仿佛完整的人生模式，给读者提供丰富的体验性的审视空间。从这个意义上说，阅读文学经典是人认识自身和自身处境的最好方式。 ⑤文学经典进行攀谈，体验经典的情境和生命气息，打捞经典的价值和意义，还能激励人们把这一切逐步内化为自我的精神结构和在外气质。《诗经》中温柔敦厚的君子、《荷马史诗》中传唱千年的英雄，承载着无数人的价值追求。人的自我塑造总是朝着理想进行的，现实世界常常不能提供理想的样本，在文学经典这样一种象征系统中，人们总是能找到更加富有张力的答案。对于迷惘者而言，尤其需要这样的向导。 ⑥由于文学是“个人发挥想象的乐园”，读者有条件、也有可能对作品所提供的生活情景进行二度想象和创造。无论是对经典意义上的追寻，还是对作品的二度创造都是读者独立
