回答题。 Edward de BoneLateral thinking （迂回思维 ) , first described by Edward de Bone

回答题。

Edward de Bone

Lateral thinking (迂回思维 ) , first described by Edward de Bone in 1967, is just a few years older than Edward&39;s son. You might imagine that Caspar was raised to be an adventurous thinker, but the de Bone was so famous, Caspar&39;s parents worried that any time he would say something bright at school, his teachers might snap, "Where do you get that idea from ？ "

"We had to be careful and not overdo it,” Edward admits. Now Caspar is at Oxford--which once looked unlikely because he is also slightly dyslexic (诵读困难 ) . In fact, when he was applying to Oxford, none of his school teachers thought he had a chance. "So then we did several thinking sessions, " his father says, "using my techniques and, when he went up for the exam, he did extremely well." Soon after, Edward de Bone decided to write his latest book, "Teach Your Child How to Think" , in which he transforms the thinking skills he developed for brainstorming businessmen into informal exercises for parents and children to share.

Thinking is traditionally regarded as something executed in a logical sequence, and everybody knows that children aren&39;t very logical. So isn&39;t it an uphill battle, trying to teach them to think ？ "You know, " Edward de Bone says, "if you examine people&39;s thinking, it is quite unusual to find faults of logic. But the faults of perception are huge! Often we think ineffectively because we take too limited a view." "Teach Your Child How to Think" offers lessons in perception improvement, of clearly seeing the implications of something you are saying and of exploring the alternatives.

What is TRUE about Caspar ？查看材料

A.He is Edward"s son.

B.He is an adventurous thinker.

C.He first described lateral thinking.

D.He is often scolded by his teacher.

Two People, Two Paths

You must be familiar with the situation: Dad&39;s driving, Mum&39;s telling him where to go. He&39;s sure that they need to turn left, but she says it&39;s not for another two blocks. Who has the better sense of direction？ Men or women？

They both do,a new study says. But in different ways.

Men and women, Canadian researchers have found, have different methods of finding their way. Men look quickly at landmarks (地标) and head off in what they think is the right direction.Women, however, try to picture the whole route in detail and then follow the path in their head.

"Women tend to be more detailed," said Edward Cornell, who led the study. "While men tend to be a little bit faster and.., a little bit more intuitive (直觉感知的). "

In fact, said Cornell, "sense of direction" isn&39;t one skill but two. "

The first is the "survey method". This is when you see an area from above, such as a printed map. You can see, for example, where the hospital is, where the church is and that the supermarket is on its right.

The second skill is the "route method". This is when you use a series of directions. You start from the hospital, then turn left, turn right, go uphill-- and then you see the supermarket.

Men are more likely to use the survey method while women are more likely to use one route and follow directions.

Both work and neither is better. Some scientists insist that these different skills have a long history, they argue it is because of the difference in traditional roles.

In ancient times, young men often went far away with the older men to fish or hunt.. The trip took hours or days and covered unfamiliar places. The only way to know where you were was to use the survey method to remember landmarks--the mountains, the lakes and so on.

The women, on the other hand, took young girls out to find fruits and plants. These activities were much closer to home but required learning well--used paths. So, women&39;s sense of space was based on learning certain routes.

When finding his way Dad tends to rely on __________. 查看材料

A.his intuitive knowledge

B.his book knowledge

C.mum"s assistance

D.the police"s assistance

回答题。

Some African Americans

Some African Americans have had a profound impact on American society, changing many people&39;s views on race, history and politics. The following is a sampling of African Americans who have shaped society and the world with their spirit and their ideals.

Muhammad Ali (Cassius Marcellus Clay ) grew up a devout Baptist in Louisville, Kentucky, learning to fight at age 12 after a police officer suggested he learn to defend himself. Six years later, he was an Olympic boxing champion, going on to win three world heavyweight titles. He became known .as much for his swagger (趾高气扬 ) outside the ring as his movement in it, converting to Islam in 1965, changing his name to Muhammad Ali and refusing to join the US Army on religious grounds. Ali remained popular after his athletic career ended and he developed Parkinson&39;s disease, even lighting the Olympic torch at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.

W. E. B. Du Bois (William Edward Burghardt Du Bois ) was born in 1868. This Massachusetts native was one of the most prominent, prolific intellectuals of his time. As an academic, activist and historian, Du Bois co-founded the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP ) , edited "The Crisis" magazine and wrote 17 books, four journals and many other scholarly articles. In perhaps his most famous work, "The Souls of Black Folk", published in 1903, he predicted "the problem of 20th century (would be) the problem of the color-line".

Martin Luther King Jr. is considered one of the most powerful and popular leaders of the American civil rights movement. He spearheaded (带头；作先锋 ) a massive, nonviolent initiative of marches, sit-ins, boycotts and demonstrations that profoundly affected Americans&39; attitudes toward race relations. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964.

Black leader Malcolm X spoke out about the concepts of race pride and black nationalism in the early 1960s. He denounced the exploitation of black people by whites and developed a large and dedicated following, which continued even after his death in 1965. Interest in the leader surged again after Spike Lee&39;s 1992 movie "Malcolm X" was released.

In 1947, Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier by joining the Brooklyn Dodgers, becoming the first black baseball player in the U. S. major leagues. After retirement from baseball in 1957, he remained active in civil rights and youth activities. In 1962, he became the first African-American to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Which of the following is NOT true about Muhammad Ali？查看材料

A.He never served in the army

B.He learned to fight at an early age

C.His popularity decreased after his retirement from boxing

D.He loves peace

回答题。

Immigrants in the United States

The percentage of immigrants (including those unlawfully present ) in the United States has been creeping upward for years. At 12.6 percent, it is now higher than at any point since the mid-1920s.

We are not about to go back to the days when Congress openly worried about inferior races polluting America&39;s bloodstream. But once again we are wondering whether we have too many of the wrong sort of newcomers. Their loudest critics argue that the new wave of immigrants cannot, and indeed do not want, to fit in as previous generations did.

We now know that these racist views were wrong. In time, Italians, Romanians and members of other so-called inferior races became exemplary Americans and contributed greatly, in ways too numerous to detail, to the building of this magnificent nation. There is no reason why these new immigrants should not have the same success.

Although children of Mexican immigrants do better, in terms of educational and professional attainment, than their parents, UCLA sociologist Edward Telles has found that the gains don&39;t continue. Indeed, the fourth generation is marginally worse off than the third. James Jackson, of the University of Michigan, has found a similar trend among black Caribbean immigrants. Telles fears that Mexican-Americans may be fated to follow in the footsteps of American blacks--that large parts of the community may become mired (陷入 ) in a seemingly permanent state of poverty and underachievement. Like African-Americans, Mexican-Americans are increasingly relegated to (降入 ) segregated, substandard schools, and their dropout rate is the highest for any ethnic group in the country.

We have learned much about the foolish idea of excluding people on the presumption of ethnic/racial inferiority. But what we have not yet learned is how to make the process of Americanization work for all. I am not talking about requiring people to learn English or to adopt American ways ; those things happen pretty much on their own. But as arguments about immigration heat up the campaign trail, we also ought to ask some broader questions about assimilation, about bow to ensure that people, once outsiders, don&39;t forever remain marginalized within these shores.

That is a much larger question than what should happen with undocumented workers, or how best to secure the border, and it is one that affects not only newcomers but groups that have been here for generations. It will have more impact on our future than where we decide to set the admissions bar for the latest wave of would-be Americans. And it would be nice if we finally got the answer right.

How were immigrants viewed by U. S. Congress in the early days？查看材料

A.They were of inferior races.

B.They were a source of political corruption.

C.They were a threat to the nation"s security.

D.They were part of the nation"s bloodstream.

请根据短文内容，回答题。

The Tough Grass that Sweetens Our Lives

Sugar cane was once a wild grass that grew in New Guinea and was used by local people for roofing their houses and fencing their gardens. Gradually a different variety evolved which contained sucrose (蔗糖) and was chewed on for its sweet taste. Over time, sugar cane became a highly valuable commercial plant, grown throughout the world. __________ (46)＜br＞

Sugar became a vital ingredient in all kinds of things, from confectionery (糖果点心 ) to medicine, and, as the demand for sugar grew, the industry became larger and more profitable.＜br＞

__________ (47) Many crops withered(枯萎)and died, despite growers&39; attempts to save them, and there were fears that the health of the plant would continue to deteriorate.＜br＞

In the 1960s, scientists working in Barbodos looked for ways to make the commercial species stronger and more able to resist disease. They experimented with breeding programmes, mixing genes from the more delicate, commercial type. __________(48) This sugar cane is not yet ready to be sold commercially, but when this happens, it is expected to be incredibly profitable for the industry.＜br＞

__________(49) Brazil, which produces one quarter of the world&39;s sugar, has coordinated an international project under Professor Paulo Arrudo of the Universidade Estaudual de Campinas in Sao Paulo. Teams of experts have worked with him to discover more about which parts of the genetic structure of the plant are important for the production of sugar and its overall health.＜br＞

Despite all the research, however, we still do not fully understand how the genes function in sugar cane __________ (50) This gene is particularly exciting because it makes the plant resistant to rust, a disease which probably originated in India, but is now capable of infecting sugar cane across the world. Scientist believes they will eventually be able to grow a plant which cannot be destroyed by rust.

第46题___________ 查看材料

A.Eventually， a commercial plant was developed which was 5 percent sweeter than before，but also much stronger and less likely to die from disease.

B.One major gene has been identified by Dr Angelique D"Hont and her team in Montpelier，France.

C.Sugar cane is now much more vigorous and the supply of sugar is therefore more guaranteed.

D.Since the 1960s， scientists have been analyzing the mysteries of the sugar cane"s genetic code.

E.The majority of the world"s sugar now comes from this particular commercial species.

F.Unfortunately， however， the plant started to become weaker and more prone to disease.
