26、George Santayana, a philosopher, said those who don’t learn from history are doomed to (注定) repeat it. In other words, if you fail to learn from past mistakes, you’re likely to make them yourself. 【1】 In addition to providing the knowledge of the past, studying history helps develop transferable (可转移的) skills that will prepare you for various career opportunities down the road. So why not explore useful strategies that will improve the effectiveness of your study?

【2】 While reading your textbook, always try and place events, dates, locations, and details within the context of the big picture. How do they fit in? Why are they important to what’s going on? How do they support the sequence of events occurring? There isn’t anything you can’t memorize if you employ this technique.

Watch movies! While educational, most historical films and documentaries are also very entertaining. 【3】 Thus, if you are serious about learning history, ensure the movie you select is true to historical facts.

Keep important information. To memorize key dates, names and events, you can employ a flashcard, on one side of which writes a key event, date or fact. On the opposite side, write the definition, description or explanation. 【4】 But it’s just as effective today as it was one hundred years ago.

Take notes in class. Write down only those truly significant things. To achieve this, listen carefully in class and determine which are the most important points made during a lecture. 【5】 More importantly, organize your notes by topic, then years, decades and centuries, use arrows and other notation (符号) devices to identify important information.

A．If in doubt, raise your hand and ask.

B．Establish connections between different facts.

C．The use of flashcards for memorizing is age-old.

D．But there are many other reasons for studying history.

E．Watching movies can be an effective method to memorize historical facts.

F．Unluckily, some films that describe historical events aren’t true to historical facts.

G．Add new information and insights you learn during lectures to your reading notes.

27、   During his youth, Albrecht Durer apprenticed with his father, who was a goldsmith, and also with a local painter. But he showed a remarkable talent for printmaking, which at the same time was the main method of illustrating books. This art form involved carving an image into a block of wood, inking the wood and then pressing it against paper or cloth. Durer’s skillful carving and printing resulted in beautiful prints. His decision to become a print-maker rather than a goldsmith disappointed his father but benefited Durer throughout his adult life.

From time to time, deadly diseases broke out in Durer’s hometown of Nuremburg, Germany. This danger was one reason why Durer decided to leave Nuremberg twice to visit Italy. He was also fascinated by Italy’s Renaissance culture. While there, he absorbed Italian philosophy, science and artistic techniques. He also served as official court artist to two Holy Roman Emperors.

Durer was extremely diligent regarding the details of his artwork as evidenced in his nature pieces. These include Young Hare, which correctly captures the energy of a hare even while it is sitting still, and Rhinoceros which was so correct that it was included in scientific documents for years.

The same attention to details can be seen in Durer’s early self-portrait. The first one that he made at age 13 shows a young boy with childish features. A second self-portrait that he made at age 22 displays a more mature individual who has a greater sense of himself. In a self-portrait done at age 26, he is a finely dressed gentleman, reflecting his rise in status within the printmaking community.

【1】What saddened one of Durer’s parents?

A．Durer’s lack of concentration.

B．Durer’s pride in his wealth.

C．Durer’s choice of profession.

D．Durer’s absences from home.

【2】What partly motivated Durer to leave Nuremburg twice?

A．He couldn’t find any work there.

B．He longed to live in the countryside.

C．He wasn’t able to settle his debt.

D．He wanted to protect his health.

【3】What do the self-portraits reveal about Durer?

A．His interest in technology.

B．His evolution as a person.

C．His strong love of travel.

D．His physical limitations.

28、A team of Japanese scientists has discovered genes that enable rice to survive high water, providing hope for better rice production in lowland areas that are affected by flooding.

The genes, called SNORKEL genes, help rice grow longer stems to deal with higher water levels. Deepwater rice generally produces low-yield (低产的) rice plants. But the researchers report they have succeeded in introducing the genes to rice varieties that are higher-yield.

According to the report, as water levels rise, accumulation of the plant hormone (激素) ethylene (乙烯) makes the SNORKEL genes start working, making stem growth more rapid. When the researchers introduced the genes into rice that does not normally survive in deep water, they were able to rescue the plants from drowning.

Motoyuki Ashikari, who headed the project, said his team is hoping to use the gene on long grain rice widely used in Southeast Asia to help stabilize production in flood areas where rice with the food-resistant gene is low in production — about one-third to one-quarter that of regular rice. “Scientifically the gene that we found is rare but clear proof of a biological ability to adapt to a difficult environment,” he said. “It’s a genetic strategy specifically to survive flooding.”

High water levels in rice field can be a serious problem. In some areas, rains can cause water levels to rise dangerously high during the growing season and flash flooding can fully cover plants for days or even weeks.

Rice is a main food for billions, and while productivity has increased dramatically since the 1960s, yields must be doubled to meet projected requirements by 2050. More than 30 percent of Asian and 40 percent of African rice land is either lowland field or deep water field.

Laurentius of Utrecht University said the study is significant because high-yield rice varieties cannot survive extremes of floods. “The introduction of these genes into high-yield varieties, using advanced breeding strategies, promises to improve the quality and quantity of rice.” he said.

【1】What can readers know about SNORKEL genes?

A．They make rice become ripe within a shorter time.

B．They make rice grow tall enough to survive in deep water.

C．They help rice grow stronger whatever the areas and the climate.

D．They prevent rice from being attacked by various insects.

【2】What will happen to the rice with the special gene, according to the text?

A．It will be helpful for Northeast Asia.

B．It will be softer than regular rice.

C．It will be widely planted all over the world.

D．It will increase the production of rice.

【3】What does the underlined word “projected” in Paragraph 6th probably mean?

A．Loose.

B．Remarkable.

C．Planned.

D．Complicated.

【4】What is the purpose of the text?

A．To introduce a scientific research finding.

B．To analyze a scientific experiment result,

C．To discuss a plant developing effort.

D．To guide the development of agriculture.

29、The biggest challenge faced by travelers especially those who like to have a backpacking trip is how to ensure a steady supply of clean clothes. Now, thanks to a great invention called Scrubba Wash Pack, that worry may be a thing of the past.

The portable washing machine was invented by Ash Newland in 2010, while planning to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. Struck by the limited packing space, he got inspiration from traditional washboards to create a bag that could be used to clean clothes. Then he quitted his career as a lawyer and focused on perfecting the bag’s design. By 2012, the bag was ready for the public. It weighed only 180 grams and required very little storage space, making it perfect for anyone wishing to travel light.

Not surprisingly, the bag worth 55 dollars was an instant hit with travelers, university students and even passengers. However, Newland was not satisfied. He still saw a flaw with his invention – dirty clothes had to be carried around in a separate bag! The recently introduced Scrubba Wash Pack solves that problem.

In order to make the pack active, dirty clothes are placed inside the bag along with two to three liters of water. The bag is then shut tightly to ensure all air is squeezed out and the clothes are massaged for a few minutes. After a quick wash, they are clean and ready to be dried. According to Newland, the pack can clean anything from jeans to smelly socks! What’s even more amazing is that with a capacity to hold 13-liters of water, it can be used to wash more clothes at a time.

The best part is that the 99-dollar pack that will be available for sale later this year, only weighs 300 grams and is completely foldable, making it easy to store when it’s not in use. With the Scrubba Wash Pack, wandering through foreign cities searching for a washing shop, or paying for washing machines may soon be a thing of the past!

【1】What led Ash Newland to create the Scrubba Wash Bag?

A. His job requirements.

B. B. A traditional washboard.

C. His interest in invention.

D. His personal experience.

【2】Why wasn’t Ash Newland satisfied with his former invention?

A. Clothes couldn’t be washed well.

B. The invention was not so convenient.

C. The bag couldn’t contain enough water.

D. The cost of the invention was very high.

【3】It can be inferred that the improved Wash Pack ______.

A. turns to be much environmentally friendlier

B. will replace the traditional washing machines

C. will be widely used by more travelers in the future

D. can encourage more people to travel a long distance

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A. Introducing a great new invention.

B. Explaining the development of backpack

C. Listing some common problems for travelers.

D. Comparing two kinds of washing machines.

31、语法填空。

Living in a foreign country is fun but it isn’t always easy. There are many differences between cultures although some of these differences are unimportant. Some can 【1】 a lot of embarrassment. In 【2】 to the obvious language problems of living in a 【3】country, I certainly experienced culture shock when I was living in Paris. I know I’m not the 【4】 one, so I spoke to a few foreign friends about how they experienced culture shock in China.

Aubin arrived two months ago from Europe to take part in a 【5】 programme in Shanghai. Before he left, he was actually 【6】 the differences between European and Chinese cultures, 【7】everything from table manners to classroom behaviour. However, some things have still taken him by   【8】. For example, he couldn’t understand why waiters did not want to accept the 【9】he gave them after meals in restaurants.

【10】friend, Julia, came to Guangzhou from London to teach at a language school. After a month, she told me that she was really let down by her 【11】. I asked her why and she told me that they were so 【12】 , that she was the only person talking in class and it felt like the children were 【13】 her by making her talk to the walls!

And it is not only the West and the East that have cultural differences. Even Korea and China two countries that are very 【14】 to each other have differences too. “I thought Chinese and Korean people were the same,” said my friend Ji-Hyun in perfect 【15】, “but I was wrong. In ancient times the Chinese 【16】 to take their shoes off. They don’t do that anymore, but Korean people still do!”

Luckily, 【17】 we take our shoes off or not, or leave unnecessary tips, the world still runs perfectly. In my opinion, cultural differences should simply be seen 【18】 a way of making life interesting. Imagine how boring it would be if we all did everything exactly the 【19】 way! Learning to understand and respect differences is, after all, 【20】 life is all about.
