Good products. B. Smart phones. ‎ C. Cute animals. D. Interesting programmes. ‎ B Have you got the information taught by your teacher in class? Have you understood what you saw on the screen? Maybe everyone has their own learning style.‎ Generally speaking, we gather information with our minds and bodies in different ways, such as seeing, hearing and doing. Then our brains deals with that information, organizing it and connecting it to things we are already aware of. In other words, our brains will deal with the information in different ways. Sometimes we think in pictures or words. Sometimes we remember details or the big pictures.‎ For different people, their learning styles are different too. One person may find it hard to make out the information in written forms but easy to know it immediately in an oral description. However, another person might find difficulties with the picture but the written message.‎ Now scientists say there exist seven basic learning styles.‎ ‎·Linguistic: These people learn through listening, reading, speaking and writing.‎ ‎·Logical: These people learn with formula (公式) and principles (原理).‎ ‎·Visual: These people learn by seeing what they are studying.‎ ‎·Musical: These people learn well when information is presented through music.‎ ‎·Kinesthetic: These people learn from movement and physical activities.‎ ‎·Intrapersonal: These people learn best by linking new information directly with their own experiences.‎ ‎·Interpersonal: These people learn well by working with others.‎ Therefore, if you know what learning style is your strength, you can balance your weakness, and get a more successful learning experience.‎ ‎24. From the passage, we know that our brains ______.‎ ‎ A. deal with the information in different ways ‎ B. send out the information in the same way ‎ C. organize information with our bodies ‎ ‎ D. gather information in the same way ‎25. A visual learner usually learns _____.‎ ‎ A. through listening and speaking B. by seeing what he is learning ‎ ‎ C. from movement and physical activities D. by linking new information with his ‎ experience ‎26. A musical learner will find it easy to learn ______.‎ ‎ A. with formulas and principles B. by working with others ‎ ‎ C. through reading and writing D. through music he hears ‎27. The purpose of the passage is to tell us to ______.‎ ‎ A. learn more successfully B. gather more information ‎ C. understand more quickly D. exchange information better C Zheng He was one of China’s most famous explorers. Towards the end of the fourteenth century, his fleet (舰队) sailed to countries far away.‎ Zheng He had over 300 ships, some of which were over 150 meters long, and could carry up to 1,000 people. Besides, the ships carried gold, silver, silk, china and other treasures to give as gifts to the rulers of other countries. Some ships even had earth on board so that the sailors could grow their crops for food.‎ On Zheng He’s first voyage(航行), he set sail across the Indian Ocean. His fleet travelled many days far away from land. One day, they were hit by a storm. All the sailors thought the fleet was going to sink. Then a strange light appeared and after that, the storm passed. The strange light was probably electricity from the thunderstorm(雷雨), but the sailors in Zheng He’s fleet believed it was a sign of protection from the gods. With the belief, they were happy to follow Zheng He wherever he led them.‎ Zheng He completed seven famous voyages between 1405 and 1433. He visited many countries in Asia and Africa. He brought back many gifts from the countries he visited, such as medicines, pearls (珍珠) and strange animals. The most famous of them were a giraffe and a zebra.‎ In 28 years of travelling, Zheng He had managed to share the glory of China with many different countries. When he died in 1435, the stories of his travels made him one of China’s most famous sailors.‎ ‎28.

China’s Most Famous Explorers D People have been enjoying the benefits of cycling（骑自行车） in Amsterdam for years. It is a good city for cycling because it is flat and there are plenty of places for bicycle parking. Today some people call Amsterdam “City of Bicycles” because of the convenience for bicycles there. ‎ In the 1960s, a group of cycling fans had an idea. They believed that it would be better for everybody if cars weren’t allowed in the city center and only bicycles were. They were hopeful that this would help to save energy, reduce pollution and provide free public transport. The group painted hundreds of bicycles white and placed them in lots of neighbourhoods around Amsterdam for people to use. Then a problem came-- thieves took all the bicycles within weeks!‎ However, more than thirty years later, the “white bike’ is back in town--this time with a computer chip（芯片） to record its every move! To take a bicycle, you have to insert a special card. The new “ white bike” is not actually white but is an unusual design with bright colors. The bikes are parked at special parking places and people who want to use them have to take them to another special parking place that has enough room.‎ There is already less traffic in central Amsterdam, because both locals and tourists have been using the white bikes. Instead, thanks to the good ideas of lots of people, like the cycling fans in the 1960s, many people around the world have been enjoying city centre streets without cars many years.‎ ‎32.

The government allowed people to drive cars freely.‎ ‎35. What do people use if they want to take a “white bike” in the city?‎ A. A white key. B. A special card.‎ C. A special computer. D. A common chip.‎ 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。‎ Interruptions(干扰) are one of the worst things to deal with while you’re trying to finish work. 36 ,there are several ways to deal with things.
