(A)

One day in 1965, when I worked at View Ridge School in Seattle, a fourth-grade teacher approached me. She had a student who finished his work before all the others and needed a challenge. "Could he help in the library?" She asked. I said. "Send him along." Soon a slight, sandy-haired boy in jeans and T-shift appeared. "Do you have job for me?" he asked. I told him about the Dewey Decimal System for shelving books. He picked up the idea immediately Then I showed him a stack of cards for long-overdue books that I was beginning to think had actually been returned but were miss-shelved with the wrong cards in them. He said, "Is it kind of a detective job?" I answered yes, and he became working. He had found three books with wrong cards by the time his teacher opened the door and announced, "Time for break!" He argued for finishing the finding job. He made the case for fresh air. He won.

The next morning, he arrived early. "I want to finish these books, he said. At the end of the day, when he asked to be a librarian on a regular basis, it was easy to say yes. He worked untiringly. After a few weeks I found a note on my desk, inviting me to dinner at the boy's home. At the end of pleasant evening, his mother announced that the family would be moving to neighboring school district. Her son's first concern, she said, was leaving the View Ridge library. "Who will find the lost books" he asked. When the time came, I said a reluctant good-bye. I missed him, but not for long. A few days later he came back and joyfully announced: "The librarian over there doesn't let boys work in the library. My mother got me transferred back to View Ridge. My dad will drop me off on his way to work. And if he can't, I'll walk!"

I should have had an inkling() such focused determination would take that young man wherever he wanted to go. What could not have guessed, however, was that he would become wizard of the Information Age: Bill Gates, tycoon of Microsoft and America's richest man.

It is largely unclear how the human brain can best learn a foreign language. However, many people, based on their school experience would probably say that rote learning (死记硬背) of long vocabulary lists is perhaps not the best approach. A new study further proves the multi-sensory theory of learning that says people learn more easily when several senses are activated at the same time. In other words, adding images to language learning helps and adding gestures helps even more, particularly when those gestures are performed by the learners themselves.

For their study, Katharina von Kriegstein, professor and leader of the Max Planck Institute in Germany, and colleagues used Vimmish. They invited a group of young people to memorize the meaning of concrete (e.g. bicycle) and abstract (e. g. thought) nouns in Vimmish within one week using three different approaches.

In the first approach, the learners read the Vimmish word and its translation and also heard it. In the second approach, the reading and listening method was accompanied by seeing and image and a gesture that either drew the image in the air or symbolized it. The third approach was similar to the second one except that the learners performed the gesture themselves.

Next, the learners were tested on their recall of the meaning of the Vimmish words they had learned. The results showed that recall was better when the words had been learned with both pictures and gestures, compared with just listening and reading, particularly when the learners performed the gestures on their own.

Speculating (思考) on the idea that language learning becomes better when more senses are involved, Prof. von Kriegstein says, ", the individual sensory impressions should match one another. For example, to learn the Spanish word for apple, the subject (实验对象) should make an apple gesture, taste an apple, or look at a picture of an apple。

73. The word "Vimmish" in paragraph most probably refers to ________in this passage.

A. a gesture B. an image C. a language D. a feeling

74. What conclusion does Kriegstein draw from her study?

A. Rote learning helps learners to remember Vimmish.

B. It is almost impossible to recall something without the help of an image.

C. Using several senses together can make language learning more effective.

D. It is a must to make up an apple gesture if you want to learn the word apple.

75. If you want to learn the Latin word for rose, which of the following approaches is most effective?

A. Observing and smelling a real rose.

B. Watching a real rose for a long time.

C. Reading aloud the word rose again and again.

D. Making a rose gesture and seeing a picture of it.

76. The passage is mainly about ________.

A. whether people like to use gestures to learn a language

B. what helps people learn a foreign language

C. why people learn a foreign language

D. how people usually learn a language

Section C

Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

When you're climbing up a hill or playing sports, your back is all wet and so is your face. Why? Because you are sweating. 77. _________When your body gets hotter than that, the part of your brain that controls temperature sends a message to your body, telling it to sweat. Then sweat glands (腺) in your skin start making sweat.

78. _________They are called pores academically. When the sweat hits the air, the air makes it turn from a liquid to a vapor. As the sweat leaves off your skin, you cool down.

Sweat is a great cooling system. If you're sweating a lot you could be losing too much water through your skin. Then you need to put liquid back in your body by drinking plenty of water so you won't get dehydrated (脱水的).

Sweat isn't just wet---it can smell unpleasant, too. 79. _________ It's the bacteria that live on your skin that mix with the sweat and give it an unpleasant smell. And when you reach adolescence, special hormones (尔蒙) affect the glands in your armpits (腋窝) － these glands make sweat that can really smell.

So don't worry about a little sweat---it's totally normal and everybody sweats. Sometimes too much sweating can be a sign that there is something wrong in the body, but this is rare in kids 80. _________ .
