29、warm to escape the cold winter weather, a trip to a recently discovered planet would certainly warm you right up, The planet, named OCLE-TR-56b, has temperatures of more than 3,000 ° F. “This is the hottest planet we know about, “ says Dr. Dimitar Sasselov, a scientist who led the discovery tea

30、m, “It is hot enough to have an iron fog and to rain hot iron droplets （細沫）”The new planet is 30 times farther away than any planet discovered by scientists before. It is in the Milky Way （銀河） but it is not in our solar （太陽的） system The new planet moves around a star much like our sun, however. Seie

31、ntists discovered the planet by using a new planet-searching method, calleda transit technique "They were able to catch sight of the planet when it moved in front of its star, causing the star'（蹴ght to .Simientists compare the method to discovering theshadow of a bee flying in front of a se

34、arching Technique C. Space SearchingB. New Distant Discovery D. Dream PlanetCElephants don ' t forgatt least, female （雌 性 的） elephants don' t. Elephant families are matriarchal. And the social knowledge gained by the oldest females is the key to a family group ' s survival （生存）,according

35、 to a study published in April by Karen McComb, a biologist at Sussex University in England.Elephants announce their presence by making a deep, long sound, a practice referred to as contact calling （聯(lián)絡呼叫）.An unfamiliar call may mean that an elephant from outside the familygroup is nearby. A stranger

36、 can cause trouble. Interrupting feeding or disturbing the young. So an elephant matriarch signals the family to gather around her; then they all lift their trunks in the air to smell the unfamiliar caller. False alarms can disturb the group and take time and energy away from feeding, so survival ma

37、y depend in part on getting it right.Working with Cynthia Moss, who founded the Amboseli Elephant Research Project in Kenya 30 years ago, McComb tested the social knowledge of 21 Amboseli elephant families with matriarchs 27 to 67 years old. She played recordings of contact calls to each family and

38、found that the oldest matriarchs were much better at picking out unfamiliar calls. In fact, a group with a matriarch in her fifties was several thousand times more likely to form into a group upon hearing an unfamiliar contact call than when hearing a familiar call. However, families with younger ma

39、triarchs were less than twice as likely to gather together upon hearing an unfamiliar contact call as compared with a familiar call. And they gathered together a lot. Moreover, the social knowledge of older matriarchs translated into favourable results: Families with older matriarchs produced more b

40、aby elephants in each female-reproductive year.This finding shows how difficult it is to protect the oldest members of elephant families. As elephants age, they continue to grow larger ,as do their much wanted tusks （象牙）.So the older-and wiser-a matriarch is, the greater the chance she will be kille

41、d. About 800,000 elephants have been killed by people in the past 20 years.61. What does the underlined word“ matriarch " mean?A . An old member of an elephant family.B . A female head of an elephant familyC. A wise elephant.D . A large elephant.62. When do elephants form into a group?A . When

42、they are feeding the young.B . When they see a familiar elephant.C. When they are giving birth to baby elephants.D . When the leading elephant gives out a warning.63. The research with recordings of contact calls shows .A . how fast elephants form into groupsB . how important the age of a leading el

43、ephant isC. how frightened elephants are when hearing a strange callD . how frequently old elephants call other members of the family 64. The older a female elephant is, .A . the stronger she will beB. the poorer memory she will haveC. the more useless her tusks will be D. the more likely she will b

44、e killed65. We can infer from the passage that elephants may .A . run into other elephant familiesB . give wrong warnings to their mothersC. run away open hearing a strange soundD . produce more babies by gathering together oftenDIf there is no difference in general intelligence （智力） between boys an

45、d 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,

46、 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 because they are afraid to appear less femini

47、ne （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 explana

48、tions 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 enoouraged to work on their own and to complete tasks. Facts show that outstanding （杰出的）mathematicians and scientists have not hadteach

49、ers 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, giv

50、ing 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 scienc

51、e 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 seems certain that school widens the diff

52、erence between boys and girls.66. Girls are likely to think that .A . science courses are for both boys and girlsB . science courses make them more popularC. science courses make them successfulD . science courses are difficult for them67.

The author would probably agree that .A . boys and girls learn in the same wayB . boys and girls are equal in general intelligenceC. girls are more confident in themselves than beforeD . girls should take fewer science courses than boysEAt first Kate thought the Romanian girl could not

56、speak and understand English. Nadia would not reply to anything Kate said. Kate was in charge of showing Nadia around on her first day at Buckminster Grade School. Kate could not figure out why the school had put Nadia in a class where she could not understand what people were saying.“Whydid they do this? Kate wondered aloud. " Imean, you can' learn if you can' t understand the teacher. ”Nadia ' s voice was a whisper."I understand English. I will learn." Nadia ' s EKate was perplexed. She couldn ' understand why Nadia di
