It was too expensive for my Family, and I always carried my lunch and brought the bag back home to use again the next day. My ‎ sandwiches were either bologna or tuna fish. It seldom changed beyond that. You can understand my excitement when I could buy a hot lunch.‎ ‎ When we finished lunch that day, Mrs. Amatuli took me aside and said she wanted to explain why she had bought my sandwich. You see, she was Catholic (天主教) and she told me that Catholics didn’t eat red meat on Fridays一they ate fish on Fridays.‎ ‎ Oh, I couldn’t wait to get home and tell my mama that from now on I wanted tuna fish on Fridays.

Atlases are made with different kinds of information about different parts and areas of a country or the world. They are prepared for desk use or travel use.‎ Desk atlases are made for different groups of people with different needs. For example, students may use desk atlases to help learn geography, and other people may use desk atlases to study a place. A popular type of the latest atlas shows the recent fact of the world. New atlases are often carefully produced to help people learn about the changes, such as the name changes, boundary(边界) changes and other important new information. A desk atlas can also have some different maps of the same place. For example, an atlas may include maps showing population and important products of a place.‎ Travel atlases usually show the information about both natural and man-made features(特点). So it is not surprising to find universities, airports, forests, rivers, roads as well as cities, towns and villages in them. A travel atlas is often the first thing people need when they want to start a trip in a strange place. It often has a map of a whole country, and a map with more special information of each important place in the country. Take the atlas of the United States as an example, it often has a map of the whole country and then a map of each of the fifty states.‎ A travel atlas may also point out the beautiful natural places. In the US, the atlas may include national parks such as the Yellow Stone Park and some others to show the beauty of nature and interesting places to tourists.‎ ‎31.

Xi’an Jiaotong University ‎ D Not long ago, people thought babies were not able to learn things until they were five or six months old. Yet doctors in the United States say babies begin learning on their first day of life.‎ Scientists note that babies are strongly influenced by their environment. They say a baby will smile if her mother does something the baby likes. A baby learns to get the best care possible by smiling to please her mother or other caregivers. This is how babies learn to connect and communicate with other human beings.‎ One study shows that babies can learn before they are born. The researchers placed a tape recorder on the stomach of a pregnant woman. Then, they played a recording of a short story. On the day the baby was born, the researchers attempted to find if he knew the sounds of the story repeated while in his mother. They did this by placing a device in the mouth of the newborn baby.‎ The baby would hear the story if he moved his mouth one way. If the baby moved his mouth the other way, he would hear a different story. The researchers say the baby clearly liked the story he heard before he was born. They say the baby would move his mouth so he could hear the story again and again.‎ Another study shows how mothers can strongly influence social development and language skills in their children.‎ Researchers studied the children from the age of one month to three years. The researchers attempted to measure the sensitivity of the mothers. The women were considered sensitive if they supported their children’s activities and did not interfere (干涉) unnecessarily. They tested the children for thinking and language development when they were three years old. Also, the researchers observed the women for signs of depression (消沉).‎ The children of depressed women did not do as well in tests as the children of women who did not suffer from depression. The children of depressed women did poorly in tests of language skills and understanding what they hear.‎ These children also were less cooperative and had more problems dealing with other people. The researchers noted that the sensitivity of the mothers was important to the intelligence development of their children. Children did better when their mothers were caring, even when they suffered from depression.‎ ‎34. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the factor that influences intelligence development in babies?‎ A. The environment. B. Mother’s sensitivity.‎ C. Education before birth. D. Their peers (同龄人)‎ ‎35. What is the purpose of the experiment in which newborn babies heard the stories?‎ A. To prove that babies can learn on the first day they are born.‎ B. To prove that babies can learn before they are born.‎ C. To show mothers can strongly influence intelligence development in their babies.‎ D. To indicate early education has a deep effect on the babies’ language skills.‎ ‎36. Which group of children did the worst in tests of language skills?‎ A. The children of women who did not suffer from depression.‎ B. The children of depressed but caring mothers.‎ C. The children of depressed mothers who cared little for their children.‎ D. The children with high communication abilities.‎ ‎37. What is the main idea of the passage?‎ A. Scientific findings about how intelligence develops in babies.‎ B. Scientific findings about how the environment has an effect on babies’ intelligence.‎ C. A study shows babies are not able to learn things until they are five or six months old.‎ D. Scientific findings about how babies develop before birth.‎ 第II卷（主观题 共40分）‎ 四、词汇运用 (本大题共8小题，每小题1分，共8分)‎ (A) 根据句意和汉语注释，写出单词的正确形式。‎ ‎1.

In this article, we’ll learn something important about acid rain.‎ The formation of acid rain When people use fuels (燃料), such as coal and gasoline(汽油), poisonous gases are given off. When these gases come together with rain, acid rain forms. Many power stations burn fuels in order to create the electricity(电) that we use in our homes and offices every day. Cars and trucks also send these gases into the air when they burn gasoline. When rain meets these gases, harmful things called acids form. This is acid rain.‎ The harm of acid rain Acid rain destroys everything that it touches. It poisons our rivers, ponds and lakes and oceans along with the life in them. It pollutes our soils and crops, harm trees, and can even kill fish and plants. Acid rain also eats away at our buildings.‎ The prevention of acid rain We need to reduce and even stop the pollution that gets into our air. Turn off lights, televisions and other electrical appliances(电器) if we are not using them. Walk and take a bike whenever possible. If we are travelling a long distance, take a bus or train to save fuel.‎ As research shows, acid rain harms our environment. But people everywhere can take small steps now to help protect our environment for future generations.‎ Whenever we use electricity or drive our cars we may add something bad to the air around us.
