完形填空。     Drama (戏剧) and the performing arts are excellent methods of building confidence in children and adults
alike. Learning through drama allows children to   1   their creativity and have fun while leaving their   2   and
worries behind. Drama also wrorks by supporting the growth of imagination and other skills.
     Entertainment has become rather passive with   3 , television and video games becoming more popular.
These screen-based methods have had a   4   effect on communication. They prevent children communicating
with others.   5 , drama puts the children emhusiastic about communication back into entertainment. Children
have the opportunity to   6   with others in a more rneaningful way   7   drama encourages speech development,
awareness of body language and allows children to become more   8   aware.
     Play and drama are closely linked. When children play a game, they are using their   9   and so are moving
away from reality to  10  their own story. Drama is a vehicle  11  which children can express themselves rnore
freely to make education fun.
     Children gain  12  by understanding that there is no final answer in drarna and that their opinion and
contribution are valued. They are able to  13  to rmny issues and situations such as poverty, recycling and global
warming.Drarm and  14  have a stmng link as drama can  15  children to take an active interest in other subjects
such as geography, history and English and so they can  16  a more rounded education.
     As a drama teacher, I have witnessed a child at his first class holding on to his parent"s arm  17  to let go.
Then to see the same child running into my class with a smile is an  18  sight. Drama installs confidence in
children by allowing them to improvise (即兴创作) and experiment. Everyone is given the opportunlty to shine
19  drama. Besides learning the history of the theatre, drama  20  dance, music, and directing, etc. These
classes are especially designed to be of great fun.

     The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Financial Times and some other newspapers have published
articles indicating that cyber attacks targeting Google and several other U.S. companies were from China.
Such accusations are biased (有偏见的).
     These anicles take as evidence that hackers" IP addresses could be traced back to two schools in China.
However, it is common sense that hackers can attack by contmlling computers from anywhere in the world.
This fact also explains why hackers are hard to be tracked down.
     Computers in China are easy to be controlled by hackers as the majority of Chinese Internet users lack
security awareness and adequate protection measures.
     The hackers" IP addresses could by no means vindicate (证明正确) the newspapers" accusations that the
attacks were carried out by Chinese citizens or from within China.
     The New York Times says one of the schools from which the cyber attacks were said to originate has
military support. Another school "has received financing from a high-level government science and technology
project."
     The New York Times went to great lengths to mention that "graduates of one of the school"s computcr
science department are employed by the local military each year." The paper, howevcr, did not care to tell its
readers that a school in China does not need to have any special relationship with the military to have its
graduates in uniform. It is also true in the United States, where the New York Times is based.
     China"s attitude toward cyber attacks has been unequivocal and has adopted laws against such crimes, as
China is one of the countries that suffer from cyber attacks.
     The U.S. government, on the other hand, takes an uncertain attitude toward cyber attacks. According to
media reports, the U.S. Homeland Security and Defense departments have both openly employed hackers.
     People with a "blackhat perspective" and knowing how to "do threat modeling" are the best choices, said
Philip Reitinger, Department of Homeland Security deputy undcrsecretary, at an information security
conference last October.
     Cyber crimes could cause immense losses to individuals, companies and nations. Effective supervision (监
督) and closer international cooperation are ways to improve cyber security. Finger pointing is not.

1. The passage is intended to tell us that _____.

[ ]

A. IP addresses are often used as evidence to track down hackers
B. it"s not necessary for schools in China to contact the military
C. the U.S. government openly employ hackers to deal with cyber attacks
D. the accusations of cyber attacks against China are unreasonable and irresponsible

2. The underlined word "unequivocal" in Paragraph 7 means _____.

[ ]

A. clear
B. negative
C. supportive
D. vague

3. We can conclude from the passage that _____.

[ ]

A. international cooperation and finger pointing are called for to ensure cyber safety
B. people skilled at doing threat modeling don"t have security awareness
C. some hackers work for the U.S. Homeland Security and Defense departments
D. hackers are difficult to catch because they can cause lots of losses to people

4. The passage is organized by _____.

[ ]

A. raising questions and analyzing figures
B. making descriptions and giving explanations
C. presenting opinions and providing arguments
D. giving definitions and explaining details

Many do-it-yourself homeowners are interested in
trying out solar power to learn about the technology
and perhaps to provide energy for limited-use applications.
There are a variety of ways to find cheap solar panels
(板), including buying used and building your own with
factory seconds. Both methods will save money while
forcing you to learn the ins-and-outs of a solar power
array (阵列).
We"ve all seen solar-powered street signs or PV
panels being used for various purposes at remote
locations. When those units become cracked or chipped
and- are considered "unsafe", companies are forced to
replace them, generally to avoid responsibility issues.
Because it"s difficult to get rid of PV panels, many

     We may all have had the embarrassing moment: Getting half-way through a story only to realize that we"ve
told this exact tale before, to the person we"re boring with it now. Why do we make such memory mistakes?
     According to research published in Psychological Science, it may have to do with the way our brains
process different types of memory.
     Researchers Nigel Gopie, of the Rotman Research Institute in Toronto, and Colin MacLeod, of the University
of Waterloo, divided memory into two kinds. The first was source memory, or the ability to keep track of where
information is coming from. The second was destination memory, or the ability to recall whom we have given
information to.
     They found that source memory functions better than destination memory, in part because of the direction
in which that information is travelling.
     To study the differences between source and destination memory, the researchers did an experiment on 60
university students, according to a New York Times report. The students were asked to associate 50 random
(随意的) facts with the faces of 50 famous people. Half of the students "told" each fact to one of the faces,
reading it aloud when the celebrity"s picture appeared on a computer screen. The other half read each fact
silently and saw a different celebrity picture afterward.
     When later asked to recall which facts went with which faces, the students who were giving information
out (destination memory) scored about 16 percent lower on memory perfonnance compared with the students
receiving information (source memory).
     The researchers concluded that outgoing information was less associated with its environmental context (背
景) that is, the person-than incoming information.
    This makes sense given what is known about attention. A person who is giving information even little facts,
will devote some mental resources to thinking about what is being said Because our attention is finite (有限的),
we give less attention to the person we are giving information to.
     After a second experiment with another group of 40 students, the researchers concluded that self-focus is
another factor that undermines destination memory.
     They asked half the students to continue giving out random information, while the other told things about
themselves. This time around, those who were talking about themselves did 15 percent worse than those giving
random information.
    "When you start telling these personal facts compared with non-self facts, suddenly destination memory
goes down more, suggesting that it is the self-focus component (成分) that"s reducing the memory," Gopie told
Live Science.

Directions: Read the following Passage. Answer the questions according to the in formation given in the
Passage and the required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.

     Many college-bound freshmen are worrying about more than just who their roommates will be this fall.
They may also be nervous about the well-known fact that"they are likely to gain weight this school year.
While many of us remember the extra weight that showed up right around the start of our college careers,
we are not always clear on how much weight we realize gained or why.
     Many nutrition experts and psychologists think that it is the change in environment and the stress of a
new begjnning that cause the typical college freshmen to gain extra pounds. As students start a new stage
of their lives, many eat to deal with the stress of change or loneliness. Often, college students are making
meals or choosing foods independently for the first time in their lives. If they live in the college dormitory,
they have a wide variety of foods to select from that may be higher in calories and fatter than the foods they
consumed living at home. In addition college social events usually center around food. I clearly remember
sitting in my dorm cafeteria for two or three hours on a Saturday morning socializing with my new friends.
Instead of eating only one meal, we would start with breakfast, eat throughout the duration of our socializing,
and finish with lunch. Food also makes an appearance after late-night parties, as part of a school day, or
simply to break the monotony (单调).
     So will this year"s typical freshmen really gain 15 pounds? According to a 2006 Tufts University study,
students enrolling in college this fall will gain weight, but maybe not the assumed 15 pounds. Based on the
students surveyed, the study found that men can expect to gain an average of 6 pounds and women an
average of 4.5 pounds during the freshman year.

2. What seems to play an important role in students" social events? (1 word)

3. What causes many college freshmen gain weight according to many nutrition experts and psychologists?
