Once upon a time a king, in the company of his ministers, went to the imperial garden for a walk. When he was walking around a pond, a strange idea 26 upon him and he asked, “How many buckets(桶) of water are there in the pond?” The ministers looked at each other, 27 to give an answer.

Rather 28 , the king ordered, “You have three days’ grace. Any one who offers an answer will be handsomely awarded. Those who fail will be 29 .”

The time limit was due in the twinkling(闪烁)of an eye, yet the ministers were still at their wit’s end. At this time a child appeared who declared that he knew the answer. The king told his 30 ministers to go with the child for the measurement. To their 31 , the child refused the suggestion with a smile, “It is very easy. No 32 to go to the pond.” This made the king laugh 33 , “Alright, let us know what it is.” The child winked (眨眼) and said, “That 34 on the size of the bucket. If it is as big as the pond, there is one bucket of water; if it is half as big, two buckets; if one third as big, three buckets; if...” “Stop! That’s it. You’ve got the 35 .” The king was satisfied and the child was duly rewarded.

Why did the ministers feel it so different to settle the problem? Because they fell in a pitfall (陷阱), following a wrong way of thinking. People’s thinking often goes a habitual way — the beaten track of straightforwardness. 36 is a static (静态的) way presupposing every object definite and certain, i.e. the size of the pond and the bucket should be clearly 37 . If one of them is unknown, it will be difficult to do the measurement, let alone 38 . Why not change your mode of thought — from static to dynamic(动态的), from concrete to 39 ? If you adopt an indirect way and try to find out the proportional relation between the pond and the bucket, you’ll get an answer — flexible yet 40 to solve the problem.

Sometimes to get out of the difficulty one must change one’s way of thinking, or simply change one’s approach towards a problem.

26. A. fixed B. focused C. came D. looked

27. A. struggling B. thinking C. falling D. failing

28. A. disappointed B. excited C. pleased D. contented

29. A. killed B. punished C. blamed D. scolded

30. A. exciting B. amazing C. surprising D. trembling

31. A. doubt B. surprise C. envy D. delight

32. A. good B. use C. need D. wonder

33. A. wonderfully B. joyfully C. cheerfully D. doubtfully

34. A. decides B. depends C. calls D. looks

35. A. award B. reward C. answer D. number

36. A. This B. That C. It D. Such

37. A. marked B. measured C. signed D. known

38. A. another B. other C. one D. both

39. A. detailed B. easy C. simple D. abstract

40. A. acceptable B. available C. adequate D. proper

A

Last year, I lived in Chile for half a year. I lived with a Chilean family and had the responsibilities of any Chilean teenager. I had good days and bad days I didn’t understand.

Chuquicamata, my host community, is a mining camp. When I arrived there, I was scared. It was so different from what I was used to. There were lots of dogs on the streets, and there was no downtown, few smoothly paved streets, and little to do for entertainment. Rain was not seen very often, earthquakes and windstorms were frequent.

I had studied Spanish for two and a half years and was always one of the best students in my class. But in my first week in Chile I was only able to communicate and needed one person to whom I could explain my shock. I couldn’t speak the thoughts in my head and there were so many.

Most exchange students experience this like me. Culture shock presents itself in everything from increased aggression (敌对心理) towards the people to lack of appetite(食欲). I was required to overcome all difficulties.

As time passed, everything changed. I began to forget words in English and to dream in Spanish and love Chilean food. I got used to not depending on expensive things for fun. Fun in Chuquicamata was being with people. And I took math, physics, chemistry, biology, Spanish, art, and philosophy.

But the sacrifices were nothing compared to the gain. I learned how to accept and to succeed in another culture. I now have a deeper understanding of both myself and others.

41. The author came to Chile last year with the purpose of ________.

A. paying a visit to Chile as a tourist B. experiencing Chilean life as a teacher

C. studying Chilean culture as a college student D. studying knowledge as an exchange student

42. On arriving in Chile, why did the author feel frightened?

A. Because he did not know how to get along with the local people.

B. Because it was full of dangers like earthquakes and windstorms.

C. Because its living conditions were worse than what he was used to.

D. Because it was not convenient for him to shop there.

43. In the first week in Chile the author _ _______.

A. was not used to eating Chilean food B. had some friends to have a chat with

C. couldn’t communicate with people D. couldn’t express his thoughts in English

44. What did the author most probably think of his life in Chile?

A. Wonderful and worthwhile B. Difficult but meaningful

C. Difficult and meaningless D. Boring and disappointing

45. According to the passage, which of the following statements about Chile is TRUE?

A. its official language is Spanish and English.

B. It is a developing country without foreign students.

C. It seldom rains and natural disasters often happen.

Phys ed (physical education) is making a comeback as a part of the school core curriculum(核心课程)，but with a difference. While group sports are still part of the curriculum, the new way is to teach skills that are useful beyond gym class. Instead of learning how to climb a rope, children are taught to lift weights, balance their diets and build physical endurance(忍耐力). In this way，kids are given the tools and skills and experiences so they can lead a physically active life for the rest of their life.

Considering that 15 percent of American children aged 6 to 18 are overweight, supporters say more money and thought must be put into phys ed curriculum. In many cases, that may mean not just replacing the old gym-class model with fitness programs but also starting up phys ed programs because school boards often "put P.E. on the chopping block (砧板), cutting it entirely or decreasing its teachers or the days it is offered," says Alicia Moag-Stahlberg, the executive director of Action for Health Kids. The difference in phys ed programs is partly due to the lack of a national standard. "Physical education needs to be part of the core curriculum," she added.

The wisdom of the new approach has some scientific support. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin have showed how effective the fit-for-life model of gym class can be. They observed how 50 overweight children lost more weight when they cycled and skied cross-country (越野)than when they played sports. The researchers also found that teaching sports like football resulted in less overall movement, partly because some reluctant(不情愿的)students were able to sit on the bench.

Another problem with simply teaching group sports in gym class is that only a small percentage of students continue playing them after graduating from high school. The new method teaches skills that translate to adulthood.

46. According to the passage, what is usually taught in the old gym class?

A. Lift weights B. Climb a rope C. Cycle D. Have a balanced diet

47. What does Alicia Moag-Stahlberg mean by saying “some school boards put P. E. on the chopping block”?

A. Schools do not pay enough attention to P. E..

B. Schools welcome P. E. but do not have time for it.

C. Schools put P.E. in the first place.

D. Schools cut down other subjects’ time for P. E..

48. Which is NOT the reason to carry out phys ed programs according to the passage?

A. More teenagers are overweight.

B. Traditional group sports teaching is not effective.

C. Students need to learn some skills to help them lead a physically active life.

D. Phys ed programs need less money to support.

49. How many problems are mentioned in the passage with simply teaching group sports?

A. Two B. Three C. Four D. One

50. What’s the difference between the come-back phys ed and the ordinary gym-class model?

A. The Phys ed teaches group sports.

B. The Phys ed provides more fitness programs.

C. The Phys ed teaches tools and skills which could be used in the future life.

D. The Phys ed has more support from the government.
