Some scientists believe that some day one - man submarines will be as many as automobiles are today. A famous French driver says, "One day soon, men will walk on

27、the ocean floor as they do on the street!" Perhaps during your lifetime people will travel, and live in the sea. If human beings want to live in the ocean, many human problems will need to be studied first. Some of these problems, similar to those of living in outer space, are pressure, lack of

28、 oxygen and weightlessness. Many questions are still unanswered. For example, can our blood make itself fit for underwater surroundings? What will happen to our muscle if we live in the water very long? Scientists are looking for answers. Perhaps in the future man will live in the sea, away from the

29、 crowded and noisy cities on land. Then sea has plenty of space, not only for floating living buildings and parks, but also for storing supplies and for underwater travel. Some scientists believe that ocean living will benefit man in more than physical ways. In the freedom and beauty of the deep sea

30、, man may find new sources of joy. 56. What can we do if we live in the ocean? A. We can have plenty of oxygen. B. We can be fit to live in the water very well. C. We needn't worry about things like weightlessness. D. We can travel and work in the sea. 57. Why do some people hope to leave cities

31、 to live in the sea? Because_. A. people think they can live crowdedly in the sea B. people wish to go the quiet seafloor to travel for several days C. people want to break away from the crowded and noisy cities where they live now D.only in this way can people get rid of noise pollution 58. In what

32、 ways could ocean living be helpful for man? A. People can swim freely as much as possible. B.People can be interested in the new pleasure there isn't anywhere else. C. The sea can supply people with enough foods and other things,so people needn't work. D. People can go boating and go to the

33、 park as often as possible. 59. Which of the following is the similar problem as that of living in outer space? A. We are short of oxygen. B. We are not familiar with the underwater surrounding. C. We may die of weightlessness. D. We can finds new joys. 60. Which of the following statements is true

34、according to the passage? A. The scientists have not solved the problem of weightlessness underwater. B. The scientists have solved the problem of weightlessness when man live in space. C. Some scientists believe that ocean living will benefit man in no more than physical ways.D. Sea has plenty of s

35、pace only for floating living buildings and parks.B Can you believe your eyes? A recent experiment suggests that the answer to that question may depend on your age. Martin Doherty, a psychologist at the University of Stirling in Scotland, led the team of scientists. In this experiment, Doherty and h

36、is team tested the perception(觀(guān)察力) of some people, using pictures of some orange circles. The researchers showed the same pictures to two groups of people. The first group included 151 children aged 4 to 10, and the second group included 24 adults aged 18 to 25. The first group of pictures showed tw

37、o circles alone on a white background. One of the circles was larger than the other, and these people were asked to identify the larger one. Four-year-olds identified the correct circle 79 percent of the time. Adults identified the correct circle 95 percent of the time. Next, both groups were shown

38、a picture where the orange circles, again of different sizes, were surrounded by gray circles. Here's where the trick lies in. In some of the pictures, the smaller orange circle was surrounded by even smaller gray circles making the orange circle appear larger than the other orange circle, which

39、 was the real larger one. And the larger orange circle was surrounded by even bigger gray circlesso it appeared to be smaller than the real smaller orange circle. When young children aged 4 to 6 looked at these tricky pictures, they weren't fooledthey were still able to find the bigger circle wi

40、th roughly the same accuracy as before. Older children and adults, on the other hand, did not do as well. Older children often identified the smaller circle as the larger one, and adults got it wrong most of the time. As children get older, Doherty said, their brains may develop the ability to ident

41、ify visual context.In other words, they will begin to process the whole picture at once: the tricky gray circles, as well as the orange circle in the middle. As a result, they're more likely to fall for this kind of visual trick. 61. Doherty and his team of scientists did an experiment to evalua

42、te_. A. children's and adults' eye-sight B. people's ability to see accurately C. children's and adults' brains D. the influence of people's age 62. When asked to find the larger circle,_. A. children at 6 got it wrong 79 % of the time with no gray ones around B. only adults

43、over 18 got it right 95% of the time with gray ones around C. children at 4 got it right about 79 % of the time with gray ones around D. adults got it right most of the time with gray ones around 63. According to the passage, we can know that_. A. a smaller orange circle appears bigger on a white ba

44、ckground B. an orange circle appears bigger than a gray one of the same size C. a circle surrounded by other circles looks bigger than its real size D. a circle surrounded by bigger ones looks smaller than its real size 64. Visual context may work when children get older than A. 4 B. 6 C. 10 D. 18 6

45、5. Why are younger children not fooled?_. A. Because they are smarter than older children and adults. B. Because older people are influenced by their experience. C. Because people's eyes become weaker as they grow older. D. Because their brain can hardly notice related things together.C Do Ameri

46、can children still learn handwriting in school? In the age of the keyboard, some people seem to think handwriting lessons are on the way out. 90% of teachers say they are required to teach handwriting. But studies have yet to answer the question of how well they are teaching it. One study published

47、this year found that about three out of every four teachers say they are not prepared to teach handwriting. Some teachers are teaching handwriting by providing instruction for 1015 minutes a day, and then other teachers who basically teach it for 60 to 70 minutes a daywhich really for handwriting is

48、 pretty much. Many adults remember learning that wayby copying letters over and over again. Today' sthinking is that short periods of practice are better. Many experts also think handwriting should not be taught by itself.Instead, they say it should be used as a way to get students to express id

49、eas. After all, that is why we write. Handwriting involves two skills. One is legibility, which means forming the letters so they can be read. The other is fluencywriting without having to think about it. Fluency continues to develop up until high school. But not everyone masters these skills. Teach

50、ers commonly report that about one fourth of their kids have poor handwriting. Some people might think handwriting is not important any more because of computers and voice recognition programs. But Steve Graham at Vanderbilt says word processing is rarely done in elementary school, especially in the

51、 early years. American children traditionally first learn to print, and then to write in cursive, which connects the letters. But guess what we learned from a spokeswoman for the College Board, which administers the SAT college admission test. More than 75 percent of students choose to print their e

52、ssay on the test rather than write in cursive. 66. We can learn_from Paragraph 1. A. teaching handwriting is a basic requirement in teaching job B. most teachers prefer to teach handwriting C. teachers spend little time in teaching handwriting D. a keyboard has taken the place of the handwriting ent

53、irely 67. Which of the following is WRONG for traditional handwriting in the USA? A. The students are taught by practicing a long period. B. The letters are repeated many times. C. Handwriting includes two skills. D. To write in cursive is taught first. 68. The underlined word "legibility" in Paragraph 3 means _. A. easy to read B. complex C. unexpected D. unreadable 69.
