One day, a teacher was speaking to a group of students about how to manage time. He gave such an interesting example that his students would never   26  .
He put a wide-mouth jar(罐) on the table. Then he    27  some rocks and carefully placed them into the jar, one at a time. When   28  rocks would fit inside, he   29  , “Is this jar full?”
Everyone in class shouted, “Yes.” “Really?” The teacher pulled out a bag of small stones. He put   30  small stones in and shook the jar. The small stones went   31  into the spaces between the big rocks. He then asked the group   32  , “Is this jar full?”
“Probably not,” one of them answered. “Good!” the teacher replied. He brought out a box of sand and   33  some sand on the jar and it went between the rocks and small stones. Again he asked the   34  question, “Is this jar full?
“No,” the class shouted. Once more the teacher said, “Good.” He poured a cup of water into the jar   35  it was full. The he asked, “What is the point here?” One student   36  his hand and said, “The point is that if you try really hard, you can   37  put more things in.”
“No,” the teacher replied, “that’s not the   38  . What I want to tell you is that if you don’t put the big rocks in first, you will never get others in at all.   39  are the ‘big rocks’ in your life? Time with your friends, your education or your dreams? Remember to put the   40  in first, or you’ll never get others in at all?”

試題分析：本文講述一個教師通過具體的實驗演示，啟發(fā)學(xué)生如何科學(xué)地安排時間：重要的 事情要先做，次要的小事可以稍后做。
小題1:下文提到老師通過一個的實驗演示如何科學(xué)的安排時間，給學(xué)生上了一堂生動的課，學(xué)生深受啟發(fā)，因此是難忘的。故選forget.
小題2:他把一個寬口罐子放在桌子上.然后拿出一些石頭小心地放入其中。Ａ分發(fā)Ｂ拿出Ｃ拿走； 帶走；Ｄ收起來； 放好，根據(jù)語境，故應(yīng)選Ｂ
小題3:no more修飾名詞="not" any more,當填到不能再填入更多石頭的時候，他問“這個罐子滿了嗎?”
小題4:從后文“Is this jar full?”可知是老師發(fā)問，故此處填asked
小題5:老師拿出一小包小石塊并把一些小石頭放進罐子里。Some和any均可以表示“一些”，但any 用于否定句和疑問句中。
小題6:小石頭從上往下放進罐子的空隙中，故用down,up表示“往上”，out表示“往外”
小題7:從第一二可知，老師先前問了學(xué)生一次，所以該處用once again又一次，再一次， 就相當于again，說明動作是第二遍
小題8:聯(lián)系上文，“放入石頭用動詞put,故此處“放入沙子”也應(yīng)使用put
小題9:從一二三可知，老師問了同樣的問題：這個罐子滿了嗎？
小題10:考查連詞。他把一杯水倒入罐子里直到充滿了罐子，故用till
小題11:根據(jù)上下文語境，一個學(xué)生舉起手回答,raise/put up one’s hands某人舉起手
小題12:如果你努力嘗試（往里面放東西），你總是可以放進更多。
小題13:根據(jù)上文老師提問“道理（point）是什么”，此處同樣應(yīng)填point，老師回答說 “那不是這個道理
小題14:什么在你的生活中是那些‘大的石塊’呢?用what提問，故選B
小題15:從本段第二行put the big rocks in first可知選C。記住把你最重要的事（big rocks）放在第一位否則一事無成。
點評：本文講述一個教師通過具體的實驗演示，啟發(fā)學(xué)生如何科學(xué)地安排時間的故事。 哲理故事類完形填空相對而言較簡單。做題時，首先心理上要平心靜氣，不要碰到一空不會填便亂方寸。其次，從答題策略上，要把握以下幾方面：瀏覽全文，把握大意；運用語法理順關(guān)系；遇到難詞反復(fù)默念；注意上下連貫，合乎邏輯；細心檢查避免疏漏。

During the 19th century, scientists found that when certain parts of the brain of a person were hurt, he would lose the power of doing certain things. And so people thought that each part of the brain does a different job. But modern research has discovered that this is not so, for it is not easy to show exactly what each part of the brain does.
In the past fifty years there has been a great increase in the amount or research done on the brain. Scientists have found out that the way the brain works is not so simple as people in general may think. Chemists tell us that about 100,000 chemical changes take place in the brain every second. Some recent researches also suggest that we can remember everything that happened to us. We may not be able to think of the things we have heard and seen but it is kept there in the store-house of the human mind. Earlier scientists thought that the power of one’s brain got weaker and weaker as one grows older. But it is plenty of exercise, it keeps its power. It is now thought that is not true. As long as the brain is given plenty of exercise, it keeps its power. It has proved that an old person who has always been active in the mind has a quicker mind than a young person who has done physical work without using much of his brain.
小題1:In the last century, scientists found that a person would lose the power to do certain things _____.
A．when he got weaker in health
B．if certain parts of his brain were hurt
C．a(chǎn)fter he did a quite different job
D．when he grew older
小題2:Scientists today are still unable to show exactly ______.
A．what each part of the brain is doing
B．how many chemical changes take place in the brain each second
C．whether each part of the brain does the same job
D．which part of the brain is the most important
小題3:It has been found that one’s brain usually works ______.
A．faster when he is old
B．a(chǎn) little now and a little then
C．in a very simple way
D．without any rest all day long
小題4:Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?
A．Scientists are working hard at the researches on the brain.
B．As many as six million chemical changes take place in the brain every minute.
C．A young man doing physical labor is sure to have a much slower mind.
D．Even an old man has a quick mind only if his brain is given much exercise.
小題5:The more work we give our brains,___________.
A．the less result we will gain
B．the more work they are able to do
C．the weaker their power will get
D．the more tired they will feel

Batteries can power anything from small sensors to large systems．While scientists are finding ways to make them smaller but even more powerful, problems can arise when these batteries are much larger and heavier than the devices themselves．University of Missouri（MU） researchers are developing a nuclear energy source that is smaller, lighter and more efficient．
“To provide enough power, we need certain methods with high energy density（密度）”，said Jae Kwon, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at MU．“The radioisotope（放射性同位素） battery can provide power density that is much higher than chemical batteries．”
Kwon and his research team have been working on building a small nuclear battery, presently the size and thickness of a penny, intended to power various micro / nanoelectromechanical systems （M/NEMS）．Although nuclear batteries can cause concerns, Kwon said they are safe．
“People hear the word ‘nuclear’ and think of something very dangerous,” he said, “However, nuclear power sources have already been safely powering a variety of devices, such as pace-makers, space satellites and underwater systems．”
His new idea is not only in the battery’s size, but also in its semiconductor（半導(dǎo)體）．Kwon’s battery uses a liquid semiconductor rather than a solid semiconductor．
“The key part of using a radioactive battery is that when you harvest the energy, part of the radiation energy can damage the lattice structure（晶體結(jié)構(gòu)） of the solid semiconductor,” Kwon said, “By using a liquid semiconductor, we believe we can minimize that problem．”
Together with J．David Robertson, chemistry professor and associate director of the MU Research Reactor, Kwon is working to build and test the battery．In the future, they hope to increase the battery’s power, shrink its size and try with various other materials．Kwon said that battery could be thinner than the thickness of human hair．
小題1:Jae Kwon gave examples in Paragraph 4_________．
A．to show chemical batteries are widely applied．
B．to introduce nuclear batteries can be safely used．
C．to describe a nuclear-powered system．
D．to introduce various energy sources．
小題2:According to Jae Kwon, his nuclear battery _______．
A．uses a solid semiconductorB．will soon replace the present ones．
C．could be extremely thinD．has passed the final test．
小題3:The text is most probably a ________．
A．science news reportB．book review
C．newspaper adD．science fiction

Motherhood may make women smarter and may help prevent dementia(癡呆) in old age by bathing the brain in protective hormones(荷爾蒙) , U.S. researchers reported on Thursday.
Tests on rats show that those who raise two or more litters of pups do considerably better in tests of memory and skills than rats who have no babies, and their brains show changes that suggest they may be protected against diseases such as Alzheimer’s (早老癡呆癥). University of Richmond psychology professor Craig Kinsley believes his findings will translate into humans.
“Our research shows that the hormones of pregnancy (懷孕) are protecting the brain, including estrogen (雌激素), which we know has many neuroprotective (保護神經(jīng)的) effects,” Kinsley said.  
“It’s rat data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals,” he added in a telephone interview. “They go through pregnancy and hormonal changes.”
Kinsley said he hoped public health officials and researchers will look to see if having had children protects a woman from Alzheimer’s and other forms of age-related brain decline.
“When people think about pregnancy, they think about what happens to babies and the mother from the neck down,” said Kinsley, who presented his findings to the annual meeting of the Society of Neuroscience in Orlando, Florida.
“They do not realize that hormones are washing on the brain. If you look at female animals who have never gone through pregnancy, they act differently toward young. But if she goes through pregnancy, she will sacrifice her life for her infant—that is a great change in her behavior that showed in genetic alterations(改變) to the brain.”
小題1:How do scientists know “Motherhood may make women smarter”?
A．Some researchers have told them.
B．Many women say so.
C．They know it by experimenting on rats.
D．They know it through their own experience.
小題2:What does the phrase “l(fā)itters of pups” mean in the second paragraph?
A．Baby rats.B．Animals.C．Old rats.D．Grown-up rats.
小題3:What can protect the brain of a woman according to the passage?
A．Estrogen.B．The hormones of pregnancy.
C．More exercise.D．Taking care of children.
小題4:“It’s rat data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals.” What does the sentence suggest?
A．The experiments on the rats have nothing to do with humans.
B．The experiments on the rats are very important for animals.
C．The experiments on the rats are much the same on humans.
D．The experiments on the rats are much the same on other animals.

One of our biggest fears nowadays is that our kids might some day get lost in a “sea of technology” rather than experiencing the natural world. TV and computer games are leading to a serious disconnect between kids and the great outdoors, which will change the wild places of the world, its creatures and human health for the worse, unless adults get working on child’s play.
Without having a nature experience, kids, can turn out just fine, but they are missing out a huge enrichment of their lives. That contributes to everything from their physical health and mental health, to stress levels, creativity and cognitive (認知的) skills. Experts predict modern kids will have poorer health than their parents---and they say a lack of outside play is surely part of it; research suggests that kids do better academically in schools with a nature component(成份) and that play in nature develop leadership by the smartest, not by the toughest. Even a tiny outdoor experience can create wonder in a child. The three-year-old turning over his first rock realizes he is not alone in the world. A clump of trees on the roadside can be the whole universe in his eyes. We really need to value that more.
Kids are not to blame. They are overprotected and frightened. It is dangerous out there from time to time, but much stress from computers is replacing breaking an arm as a childhood process of passage.
Everyone, from developers, to schools and outdoorsy citizens, should help regain for our kids some of the freedom and joy of exploring, taking friendship in fields and woods that strengthen love, respect and need for landscape. As parents, we should devote some of our energies to taking our kids into nature. This could yet be our greatest cause.
小題1:According to the passage, children without experiencing nature will______
A．keep a high sense of wonder
B．be over-protected by their parents
C．be less healthy both physically and mentally
D．change wild places and creatures for the better
小題2:According to the author, children’s breaking an arm is_____
A．the fault on the part of their parents
B．the natural experience in their growing up
C．the result of their own carelessness in play
D．the effect of their repetitive stress from computers
小題3:In writing this passage, the author mainly intends to______
A．blame children for getting lost in computer games
B．encourage children to protect parks from encroachment
C．show his concern about children’s lack of experience in nature
D．inspire children to keep the sense of wonder about things around

Busy senior managers need no longer waste time in showering themselves－an Australian company has invented a suit that can be worn while they wash.
The suit has been specially designed so that it can be cleaned under the showerhead. There is no need for soaking (浸泡)，dry cleaning－or even soap.
The Japanese market has taken a liking to the “shower suit”，described as “revolutionary” by its owner Australian Wool Innovation (AWI)，which is the research and marketing body that represents Australian wool－growers. Orders have been placed for 170,000 of the woolen suits.
The suit could be worn in the shower，although it was probably better to hang it on a clothes hanger and carry it instead，AWI corporate affairs spokesman Stephen Feighan said.“The idea is that you hang it up and then...you give it a spray (噴霧)，and it’s dry the next morning，” Mr Feighan said.
A Japanese researcher working for AWI invented the suit by combining three technologies. The secret is the best lining (內(nèi)襯)，which allows the suit to dry quickly.The shower suit attracted busy corporate people，particularly those who often traveled or stayed up late，Mr Feighan said.The airline industry was also interested.
Mr Feighan confessed he had not worn one of the suits yet，or tried to wash it in the shower，because they cut to fit Japanese figures.AWI believes that the shower suit will spread from the Japanese market through Europe and India. Mr Feighan hoped the suit，made from local wool，would be available in Australia in 12 to 18 months’ time.
小題1:What is the writing purpose of the article?
A．To introduce a newly－designed shower suit.
B．To help the white collars arrange their life more sensibly.
C．To provide suggestions on saving time in bath.
D．To praise AWI for its important achievement.
小題2:Which is true about the suit according to the passage?
A．It can spare the owner’s trouble of soaking，dry cleaning and applying soap.
B．It is of the quality of fast dry for its best cloth.
C．It is not suitable for hanging.
D．It has attracted more orders than any other suit.
小題3:The suit draws the attention from all the following groups EXCEPT________.
A．corporate people who are always on the go
B．people on occasional business trips
C．the airline industry
D．people burning the midnight oil
小題4:Which of the following has much to do with Mr Feighan?
A．The invention of the suit.
B．The try－on of the suit.
C．The combination of the three technologies on the suit.
D．The popularization of the suit and best wishes for it.

One day, Miss Ellis gave her pupils a new kind of homework: homework on happiness. Her pupils would be “happiness   1  ”, and were to see what would happen when they tried to bring happiness to those around them. As part of their homework, all the students did really    2  , wonderful things, but what Carla Chalmers did left everyone    3  . Several days after the homework had been handed out, Carla turned up carrying a big bag.
“Here in this bag I have all the happiness I’ve collected so far,” she said    4  . On seeing this, everyone was filled with    5  , but Carla didn’t want to show anyone what was in the bag. Instead, she pulled out a small box and gave it to her teacher. When Miss Ellis had taken the box, Carla took a(n)    6   camera out of her own pocket and stood with it at the ready.
“Open it, Miss Ellis.”
The teacher slowly opened the box and looked inside. A big smile    7   on her face, and at that moment Carla took a photo, Carla’s photo came out of the camera immediately, and she    8    it to Miss Ellis along with a sheet of paper. The teacher read the paper in silence, and when she, had finished, she gestured at the    9  .
“Oh, so it’s…”

She opened the bag and photos of different    11   fell out.
The rest of the class tried to    12   how Carla had managed to create such a great big chain of happiness. All there in the box was a photo of a big smile. But everyone who had seen it felt happiness being transmitted（傳送）to them, and in return, without    13  , every person    14   with a  smile of their own.
