But traditionally, the paintings are created to heal a person during a ceremony. The type of image and ceremony used is determined by the disease which the person is suffering from. The sand painting may contain an image of the Holy People. The tribe medicine man may ask the Holy People to help him paint the image and therefore help heal the person in need. When the medicine man finishes painting, he checks its accuracy. The order and the symmetry(对称性) of the painting symbolize the harmony which a patient wishes to achieve in his or her life. The accuracy of a sand painting is believed to determine its healing effects.In some cases, more than one sand painting might be used in a healing ceremony. During the ceremony, the person who needs healing will sit on the Native American sand painting. The sand painting serves as an entrancefor the spirits and through the painting, the person can absorb the healing energies from these spirits.The sand paintings were not originally meant to be sold or hung on the wall. Once the ceremony is pleted, the sand painting must be destroyed, thus allowing the sand to return to the Earth. This is necessary because the sand painting is now seen as poisonous, having absorbed the illness, and must be destroyed. The entire ceremony, from the painting to the destroying is usually pleted within a 12-hour period. The medicine man never wrote down how to perform the healing ceremony, but it was passed down from generation to generation.The Pueblo tribe was the first tribe to create Native American sand paintings, but the art soon spread to many other tribes. Today, it is the Navajos who are the most active in creating Native American sand paintings.It is believed that it was a medicine man named Fred Stevens who was the first person to create a Native American sand painting for sale in the 1950s. A trader, Rex Bollin, remended Fred to sell sand paintings since they were so beautiful. After working out how to make the sand stick to the canvas(画布), Fred began selling his sand paintings.56. During a healing ceremony, it is necessary for .A. many people to draw togetherB. the sick person to sit on the sand paintingC. the sick person to eat some sandD. the medicine man to use several sand paintings57. Why would people destroy the sand paintings after the healing ceremony?A. Because the paintings are useless after the ceremony.B. Because people don’t know how to keep the paintings for long.C. Because the paintings are believed to contain illnesses.D. Because the paintings are believed to contain the spirit of God.58. From this passage we can infer that .A. different images would be painted to cure different diseasesB. the Pueblo tribe was unwilling to show other tribes how to create sand paintingsC. an ancient medicine man wrote down how to perform the healing ceremony to pass it downD. The Navajos were the creators of Native American sand paintings59. According to the passage, which of the following statements about Fred Stevens is TRUE?A. He earned a lot of money from selling sand paintings.B. He was the world’s most famous sand painting painter.C. He didn’t think sand paintings could cure d iseases.D. He was the first man to sell sand paintings in the world.BA Chinese space capsule carrying three crew members has returned to Earth following a 13-day mission（使命）. Images of the capsule landing in Inner Mongolia at 10:05 local time were shown live on television.The astronauts, including China’s first woman in space, carried out a successful manual docking(手工) with the Tiangong-1 laboratory module. This is a key step towards China’s goal of building a space station by2020. Premier Wen Jia bao praised it as a “plete success”. “This is another outstanding contribution by the Chinese people to humanity’s efforts to explore and use space,” Mr Wen said in Beijing.“It feels so good to stand on Earth, and it feels even better to be home,” astrona ut Liu Wang was quoted（引用）by national broadcaster CCTV as saying. “Tiangong-1, our home in space, was fortable and pleasant. We’re very proud of our nation,” female astronaut Liu Yang said.The crew of the Shenzhou-9 craft successfully carried out the coun try’s manual docking operation earlier in the week. The delicate procedure, which involved bringing together two orbiting objects travelling at thousands of miles an hour, was mastered by USSR and US space teams in the 1960s. The crew also carried out automatic docking of the two crafts in the process.The three astronauts returned to the Shenzhou-9 spacecraft on Thursday and performed a manual separation from the space laboratory. They touched down in Inner Mongolia’s Siziwang county on Friday, with the ca psule equipped with a parachute（降落伞）to slow its approach.Ms Liu, 33, is a major in China’s air force from the central province of Henan. On China’s Tencent QQ messaging service, she goes by the name “little Flying knight”. She was selected into China’s sp ace programme only two years ago, but she did particularly well, the official news agency Xinhua says. The Shenzhou-9 spacecraft was launched on 16 June.60. The final purpose of launching Shenzhou-9 spacecraft is ________.A. to send the first female astronaut in spaceB. to prepare for the foundation of a space stationC. to carry out a manual docking with the Tiangong-1D. to catch up with the first-class technology worldwide61. What’s the main purpose of Paragraph 4?A. To show the great success of the mission.B. To make an introduction of the missionC. To tell readers manual docking operation is a delicate procedure.D. To tell readers the importance of mastering the technology.62. What can be the best title for the text?A. A successful Space TravelB. Tiangong-1, Special Home in SpaceC. Liu Yang, China’s First Woman in SpaceD. China’s Shouzhou-9 Spacecraft Returns to EarthCLaptop puters are popular all over the world. People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms.Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop puter program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a $10 million puter program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to “speak” with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of thelaptop program is that students will be able to use puters without going to puter labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees，anywhere at all!Because of the many changes in puter technology, laptop use in higher education, such as colleges and universities, is workable. As laptops bee more powerful, they bee more similar to desktop puters. In addition, the portable puters can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries and other resources. State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students. State officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities, too.At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use puters. The laptops will allow all teachers to use puters in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, “Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we’re giving students a window on the world. They can see everything and do everything.”63. Why is the word “speak” in the second paragraph in quotation marks (引号)?A. They don’t really talk.B. They use the puter language.C. Laptops have speakers.D. None of the above reasons is correct.64. Which of the following is TRUE about Westlake College?A. All teachers use puters.B.1500 students have laptops.C. It is an old college in America.D. Students there can do everything.65. “A window on the world” in the last paragraph means that students can ______.A. attend lectures on information technologyB. travel around the worldC. get information from around the worldD. have free laptops66. What can we infer from the passage?A. The program is successful.B. The program is not workable.C. The program is too expensive.D. We don’t know the result yet.DLittle Robby, our neighbour’s nephew, carefully drew some water into a bowl and started for the door. How I hated this water rationing(定量供应). We were forced to bathe in the deep little pond we shared with Jessie, our cow. Wells were dry, and crops transformed to dust.I watched Robby sitting down onto the steps to my house. Bees buzzed circling his hair, and he buzzed with them. I remembered his aunt’s words: I don’t know what I was thinking when I took him in. The crash killed my sister, and he wasn’t hurt, but he can’t talk. He’s in a world of all his own.Why couldn’t she see the wonderful gifts this boy possessed? He was blessed with a loving nature and a deep admiration for all living things, and I knew he could talk to animals. My heart ached for Robby, who was to stay with us for the summer, and had already been the dearest part of our world, eagerly tending the garden with me and my husband, Tom.On a string around Robby’s neck hung a whistle, in case he was ever lost or in danger. After all, he could not call out for help. But he knew perfectly well that the whistle was not a toy. Blowing on it would bring us both running.I had told him the story of the boy who cried wolf, and I knew he understood me.I sighed as I cleared up the last supper dish. Every ounce of recycled water was saved for a tiny vegetable garden Robby had planted. Tom turned to me. “You know, honey, I’ve been thinking about...”Before he could continue, a scream from the yard made us jump. My God! It’s Robby’s whistle! When we reached him, he was pointing excitedly to the sky. Looking up, we saw the most magnificent sight: Rain Cloud s! “Robby! Quick! We need all the pots and pans!”Robby raced with me to the house. A drop of water fell on my pot and then another. Soon the yard was enveloped in soaking, glorious rain. We all stood with faces held upward to feel the fort of it. Tom picked up Robby and danced about the pots, shouting and whooping, “Rain for Robby!” Tom swung about to show me Robby’s face: he was laughing right out loud, “W-W-Wobby’s!” “Wobby’s … wain … Mom,” giggling, and stretching out one tiny hand in the shape of a cup to catch the rain.I hugged them both, tears of joy mixing with the rain.67. The underlined phrase “the wonderful gifts” in the 3rd paragraph refers to Robby’s ______.A. love for nature and all living thingsB. kindness to help others aroundC. independence since his childhoodD. readiness to accept what happened to him68. It was because ______ that the author and her husband would run on hearing the whistle.A. it was going to rainB. Robby often surprised us with his whistleC. something bad might happen to Robby.D. Robby might find something special69. What can we learn from the passage?A. Robby was old enough, but still couldn’t speak.B. Robby didn’t accept the author and Tom as his parents.C. Robby happened to find the rain cloud and was terrified.D. Robby’s aunt regretted bringing Robby home.70. It can be concluded from the passage that ______.A. we should show mercy for the disabled childrenB. every child has his own talent however young he isC. children from poor families take responsibilities earlierD. children’s sensitive hearts are worthy to be taken care ofIV. 任务型阅读Guiding students through open-ended discussions can help students develop their understanding of the nature of science.One useful practice in classroom discussions involves developing a discussion map. A discussion map is a graphic timeline created by the teacher on which a discussion is recorded---who initially states the idea and who adds to or refuses the idea.Discussion maps let teachers gain a deep understanding of students’ level of participation, the origins of ideas, and the claims that seem meaningful, useful, and/or reasonable to students. They also give the teacher an idea of students’ science thoughts of phenomena and ideas.To make a discussion map, the teacher needs to do a couple of things. First, the teacher needs to keep informed of the ideas that are shared and who shared the idea. The teacher does this as the children talk, making quick notes of the ideas and thoughts. It can be helpful to record the discussion, but it isn’t required. Then, after the discussion is over, the teacher reflectively creates the discussion map to clarify the understanding of the ideas and connections that students were making in their talk.Educators have identified discussions as consistent with reform remendations in that they help children learn about the nature science and are useful in bining literacy and science. It is suggested that discussions can be useful for teachers in evaluating students’ ideas an d building excitement as science. Discussions offer windows on students’ thinking, provide students who struggle in reading and writing with a chance toparticipate more actively in class, and create situations where students can express their ideas differently than in traditional schools tasks.However, I suggest that there are additional reasons for having reasoned discussions in classrooms. First, discussions like this allow students to use their own vocabulary---the words and terms that make sense to them and their classmates---to drive the intellectual and academic work of understand phenomena. Many times learning science can bee focused on learning terms but not necessarily understanding and explaining phenomena. Second, discussions allow students to think about their experiences and the things that they know and try to reconcile these with science ideas. This is challenging, but working together with classmates can help. Finally, reasoned discussions are fundamentally scientific because they offer an open forum that allows all students to be heard, and students’ ideas can be evaluated and connected to their experiences with scientific explanations of those phenomena. For example, during the children’s reasoned discussion about plants, the group came to the agreement that seeds grow into plants. The students understood that most seeds get buried in the ground, the seeds get wet, and then plants grow. This led to a question about whether the seed was still in the ground when the plant had grown into an adult plant. The students came up with several ideas about where the seeds were. During this conversation, the teacher took careful notes so that later investigations could respond to the questions that children were asking. Thus the students were working together using their ideas and understandings and realized something as a group that they didn’tunderstand as individuals.Discussions are consistent with reform remendationsbecause they help children learn about the nature ofscience and (77)______ literacy and science.Discussions can be useful for teachers in evaluatingstudents’ ideas and building excitement at science.Discuss ions offer windows on students’ thinking,V. 单词拼写81.
