In fact, they are seen as boats on land for their ability to carry loads. Besides, the whole body of an ox is full of tr

10、easures. Their meat and milk are food full of nutrition, and their skin can be used to make clothes and shoes. With all these qualities, oxen are regarded as generous creatures.

11、t in some folk activities. For example, some people who1ire in southwest China will cook cattle bone soup and share it among family members when holding the ceremony for children who reach 13.

17、. For example, to absorb heat from the sun to heat water, you need large, flat, black surfaces. One way to do that is to build those surfaces specially, on the roofs of buildings. But why go to all that trouble when cities are rub of black surfaces already, in the form of asphalt （柏油） roads?Ten year

18、s ago, this thought came into the mind of Arian de Bondt, a Dutch engineer. He finally persuaded his boss to follow it up. The result is that their building is now heated in winter and cooled in summer by a system that relies on the surface of the road outside. The heat-colleetor is a system of conn

19、ected water pipes. Most of them ran from one side of the street to the other, just under the asphalt road. Some, however, dive deep into the ground. When the street surface gets hot in summer, water pumped through the pipes picks up this heat and takes it underground through one of the diving pipes.

20、 At a depth of 100 metres lies a natural aquifer （蓄水层） into which several heat exchangers （交换器） have been built. The hot water from the street runs through these exchangers, warning the ground-water, before returning to the surface through another pipe. The aquifer is thus used as a heat store. In w

21、inter, the working system is changed slightly. Water is pumped through the heat exchangers to pick up the heat stored during summer. This water goes into the building and is used to warm the place up. After performing that task, it is pumped under the asphalt and its remaining heat keeps the road fr

29、or America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some peopleon the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning. Ks5uI do not remember myself crying for this re

30、ason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to seethe strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hard

31、ly in my head then. Ks5uThe four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really losthaving to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be.

32、Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to “the hard times. ” Ks5uMy responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrot

33、e letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives. Ks5uFrom my experiences I have learned one important rule: Almost all common troubles eventually

38、hat theres a huge market out there. Ks5uAnd theres a growing need for new writers trained to create the 3 billion worth of childrens books bought each yearplus stories and articles needed by over 650 publishers of magazines for children and teenagers. Ks5uWho are these needed writers? Theyre ordinar

39、y folks like you and me. Ks5uBut am I good enough? Ks5uI was once where you might be now. My thoughts of writing had been pushed down by self-doubt, and I didnt know where to turn for help. Ks5uThen, I accepted a free offer from the Institute to test my writing aptitude（潜能）, and it turned out to be

40、the inspiration I needed. Ks5uThe promise that paid off Ks5uThe Institute made the same promise to me that they will make to you, if you show basic writing ability: Ks5uYou will complete at least one manuscript（手稿）suitable to hand in to a publisher by the time you finish our course.

Show she sold more stories than articles Ks5uC Ks5uHow Room Designs Affect Our Work and Feelings Ks5uArchitects have long had the feeling that the places we live in can affect our thoughts, feel

46、ings and behaviors, But now scientists are giving this feelings an empirical（经验的, 实证的）basis. They are discovering how to design spaces that promote creativity, keep people focused, and lead to relaxation. Ks5uResearches show that aspects of the physical environment can influence creativity. In 2007,

47、 Joan Meyers-Levy at the University of Minnesota, reported that the height of a rooms ceiling affects how people to think. Her research indicates that the higher callings encourage people to think more freely, which may lead them to make more abstract connections. Low ceilings, on the other hand, ma

48、y inspire a more detailed outlook. Ks5uIn addition to ceiling height, the view afforded by a building may influence an occupants ability to concentrate. Nancy Wells and her colleagues at Cornell University found in their study that kids who experienced the greatest increase in greenness as a result

49、of a family move made the most gains on a standard test of attention. Ks5uUsing nature to improve focus of attention ought to pay off academically, and it seems to, according to a study led by C. Kenneth Tanner, head of the School Design Planning Laboratory at University of Georgia. Tanner and his t

50、eam found that students in classrooms with unblocked views of at least 50 feet outside the window had higher scores on tests of vocabulary, language arts and maths than did students whose classrooms primarily overlooked roads and parking lots. Ks5uRecent study on room lighting design suggests that d

51、im（暗淡的）light helps people to loosen up. If that is true generally, keeping the light low during dinner or at parties could increase relaxation. Researchers of Harvard Medical School also discovered that furniture with rounded edges could help visitors relax. Ks5uSo far scientists have focused mainly

52、 on public buildings. “We have a very limited number of studies, so were almost looking at the problem through a straw（吸管）, ”architect David Allison says. “How do you take answers to very specific questions and make broad, generalized use of them? Thats what were all struggling with. ” Ks5u64. What

53、does Joan Meyers-Levy focus on in her research? Ks5uA. Light Ks5uB. Ceilings Ks5uC. Windows Ks5uD. Furniture. Ks5u65. The passage tells us that_. Ks5uA. the shape of furniture may affect people, s feelings Ks5uB. lower ceilings may help improve students creativity Ks5uC. children in a dim classroom

54、may improve their grades Ks5uD. Students in rooms with unblocked views may feel relaxed Ks5u66. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably means that _. Ks5uA. the problem is not approached step by step Ks5uB. the researches so far have faults in themselves Ks5uC. the problem is too diff

55、icult for researchers to detect Ks5uD. research in this area is not enough to make generalized pattens Ks5u67. Which of the following shows the organization of the passage? Ks5u Ks5uCP: Central Point P: point Sp: Subpoint（次要点）C: Conclusion Ks5u Ks5uD Ks5uWhen students and parents are asked to rate s

56、ubjects according to their importance ,the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list . Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is viewed as mere entertainment, but certainly not an education priority （优先）. This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is benefic

57、ial and important for all students. Ks5uMusic tells us who we are. Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it reflects their thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. Rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as does a Schubert song. The jazz inf

58、luence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values. It gives us identity as a society. Ks5uMusic provides a kind of perception（感知）that cannot be acquired any othe

59、r way . Science can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts explore emotive（情感的） meaning of the same phenomenon . We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all. Ks5uThe arts are forms of thought as powerful in what

60、they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols. They are ways we human beings “talk” to each other. They are the language of civilization through which we express our fears, our curiosities, our hungers, our discoveries, our hopes. The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination

61、 so that they can be shared with others. When we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses. Ks5uScience and technology do not tell us what it means to be human. The arts do. Music is an important w

62、ay we express human suffering, celebration, the meaning and value of peace and love. Ks5uSo music education is far more necessary than people to realize. Ks5u68. According to Paragraph 1, students_. Ks5uA. regard music as a way of entertainment Ks5uB. disagree with their parents on education Ks5uC.

63、view music as an overlooked subject Ks5uD. prefer the arts to science Ks5u69. In Paragraph 2, the author uses jazz as an example to . Ks5uA. compare it with rock music Ks5uB. show music identifies a society Ks5uC. introduce American musical traditions Ks5uD. prove music influences peoples lifestyles Ks5u70. According to the passage. the arts and science . Ks5uA. approach the world from different angles Ks5uB. explore different phenomena of the world Ks5uC. express peoples feelings in different ways Ks5uD. explain wha
