The challenge invites, even dares school students between the ages of 5 and 14 to create artwork or a piece of writing that shows their curiosity how it inspires them to explore their world.Students are being dared to draw a picture, write an article, take a photo or write a poem that shows what they are curious about.

The program guidelines and other related information are available at: http:/ cambridgesciencefestival.org.21. Who can take part in the Curiosity Challenge?A. MIT artists.B. Cambridge locals.C. CSF winners.D. School students.22. When will the prize-giving ceremony be held?A. On February 8th.       B. On March 10th.C. On March 15th.        D. On April 21st.23. What type of writing is this text?A . An announcement. B. An art show review.C. An exhibition guide          D. An official report.BThe baby is just one day old and has not yet left hospital. She is quiet but alert (警觉). Twenty centimeters from her face researchers have placed a white card with two black spots on it. She stares at it carefully. A researcher removes the card and replaces it by another, this time with the spots differently spaced. As the cards change from one to the other, her gaze (凝视) starts to lose its focus until a third, with three black spots, is presented. Her gaze returns: she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card. Can she tell that the number two is different from three, just 24 hours after coming into the world?Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer? The same experiment, but with three spots shown before two, shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes. Perhaps it is just the newness? When slightly older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects (a comb, a key, an orange and so on), changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves. Could it be the pattern that two things make, as opposed to three? No again. Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a screen when their number changed from two to three, or three to two. The effect even crosses between senses. Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats than when they heard just two; likewise (同样地) when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots.24. The experiment described in Paragraph 1 is related to the babys _.A.sense of sightB. sense of hearingC. sense of touchD. sense of smell25. Babies are sensitive to the change in _.A. the size of cardsB. the color of picturesC. the shape of patterns                              D. the number of objects26. Why did the researchers test the babies with drumbeats?A. To reduce the difficulty of the experiment.  B. To carry their experiment further C. To see how babies recognize sounds.             D. To keep the babies interest.27. Where does this text probably come from?A. Science fiction.B. Childrens literature.C. An advertisement.   D. A science report.CGiven that many people's moods (情绪) are regulated by the chemical action of chocolate, it was probably only a matter of time before somebody made the chocolate shop similar to a drugstore of Chinese medicine. Looking like a setting from the film Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, Singapore's Chocolate Research Facility (CRF) has over 100 varieties of chocolates. Its founder is Chris Lee who grew up at his parents' comer store with one hand almost always in the jar of sweets.If the CRF seems to be a smart idea, that's because Lee is not merely a seasoned salesperson but also head of a marketing department that has business relations with big names such as Levi's and Sony. That idea surely results in the imagination at work when it comes to making different flavored (味道) chocolates.The CRF's produce is "green", made within the country and divided into 10 lines, with the Alcohol Series being the most popular. The Exotic Serieswith Sichuan pepper, red bean (豆).cheese and other flavorsalso does well and is fun to taste. And for chocolate snobs, who think that they have a better knowledge of chocolate than others, the Connoisseur Series uses cocoa beans from Togo, Cuba, Venezuela , and Ghana, among others.28. What is good about chocolate?A. It helps improve the state of mind.B. It works as an effective medicine.C. It serves as a suitable gift.D. It strengthens business relations.29. Why is Chris Lee able to develop his idea of the CRF?A. He knows the importance of research.B. He has a lot of marketing experience.C. He has the support of many big namesD. He learns from shops of similar types.30. Which line of the CRF produce sells best?A. The Connoisseur Series.B. The Exotic Series.C. The Alcohol Series.D. The Sichuan Series.31. The words "chocolate snobs" in Paragraph 3 probably refer to people who          A.know little about cocoa beansB. are particular about chocolateC. look down upon othersD. like to try new flavorsDDoes Fame Drive You Crazy?Although being famous might sound like a dream coming true, todays stars, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. They are at the center of much of the worlds attention. Paparazzi (狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids (小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature!According to psychologist Christina Villareal, celebritiesfamous peopleworry constantly about their public appearance. Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the persons they were before everyone knew their names. “Over time,” Villareal says, “they feel separated and alone.”The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th century B.C., painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain (抱怨) about his lack of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever. If fame is so troublesome, why arent all celebrities running away from it? The answer is that there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous already.32. It can be learned from the passage that stars today _.A. are often misunderstood by the publicB. spend too much on their public appearanceC. can no longer have their privacy protected D. care little about how they have come into fame33. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?A. Great heroes of the past were generally admired.B. The problem faced by celebrities has a long history. C. Well-known actors are usually targets of tabloids.D. Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.34. What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today?A.Huge population of fansB. Inadequate social recognition. C. Lack of favorable chances.D. Availability of modern media.35. What is the authors attitude toward modern celebrity?A. Sympathetic. B. Skeptical.C. Disapproving.D. Sincere 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Cold blesses us allIt's November, the time of year when people often get blessed more. This is not because God likes cold weather, nor because others are feeling generous with Thanksgiving just around the corner. 36 Colds and the flu are the most common illnesses people get in autumn and winter as the weather gets colder. They are all caused by viruses, but colds are generally milderyou'll feel annoyed but not as if you want to die.Teenagers catch average six to ten colds a year, according to statistics from the Ministry of Health, while adults average two to four. More than 200 viruses cause cold symptoms. 37 You can be contagious（传染的）one day before symptoms develop and for up to five days after becoming sick.The signature symptom of a cold is a runny nose. The flu will make you burn with fever, ache all over, feel extremely tired and cough intensely. The flu can sometimes lead to more serious diseases, such as pneumonia. 38 A doctor can test you to see whether you have the flu in the first few days of the illness. But some treatments for both are pretty much the same: 39 Many doctors consider water a weapon against the common cold. It helps your blood drive off viruses and flood them out. Keep warm. You might be cold one minute and hot the next, and wearing several layers is very important. Wash your hands frequently. You don't want to make it worse by spreading the flu to everyone else. Also, avoid sharing cups and eating utensils(餐具) with other people. 40 But if your flu symptoms get worse, go to a hospital or clinic right away.A. Sometimes, it's hard to tell a cold from the flu based on symptoms alone.B. Drink lots of water. C. Taking medicine on time is a good way to prevent the illness.D. "Bless you!" is a common response to sneezes, the symptom of catching a cold or the flu.E. Get lots of sleep and take it easy.F. You can pass on the flu before you even know you have it.G. Most people who catch the flu get better without having to see their doctor.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A，B，C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。An old man was dying.
