to be a valuable and happy person． To enjoy just how great it is to be alive， we have to put down our books and pens and look around us． Students， take some exercise to improve your health， talk with your parents and friends for understanding and walk around outside to refresh your body and mind．‎ Going out and enjoying the beautiful countryside often helps our creativity in our work． Chinese craftsman， Lu Ban， created a saw to help woodworkers． But if he hadn't walked outside， he would not have been inspired by a kind of toothed grass． We could also suppose if Newton hadn't rested under that apple tree， then he wouldn't have been hit by an apple， and his classic theories would not have come out．‎ Going out is not only a break from hard work， but a chance to add to life experience． So come on， give your brain a good rest． Step out of the books and get your bag ready for an autumn outing． We are sure you will get much more than knowledge from the exciting journey．‎ ‎29． In which paragraph does the writer make a summary about his opinion？___‎ A． Paragraph 1． B． Paragraph 2．‎ C． Paragraph 5． D． Paragraph 4．‎ ‎30． Why is going out a dream for many high school students？___‎ A． They are unhappy to do so．‎ B． Their parents don't allow them to do so．‎ C． They think study is the most important thing for them．‎ D． They have too much work to do for getting high marks in the exams．‎ ‎31． The passage is developed mainly by___．‎ A． making predictions B． reasoning and giving examples C． describing the beautiful scenery in Autumn D． pointing out the present situation of high school students ‎32． What message can you get from the passage？___‎ A． Nature is power．‎ B． All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy．‎ C． The author isn't happy with our education at all．‎ D． Going out can make high school students get more．‎ ‎(D)‎ No evidence shows that the key to learning a new language is surrounding yourself with native speakers of that language. But what if those native speakers are Dora the Explorer and Diego?‎ It turns out television and radio might be even better tools for new language learners than previously thought. According to two recent studies by Scientific American, it is possible to further your understanding of a new language without actively practicing or fully paying attention.‎ For starters, research published in the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America suggests that language learners who focus continuously on learning new sounds keep no more information than those who take occasional breaks. While one group of study participants practiced distinguishing three difficult Hindi sounds for one hour a day over the course of several days, another group alternately(交替地) spent 10 minutes on learning and 10 minutes on an intentionally distracting(使人分心的) task as the Hindi sounds played in the background. When tested on the sounds, the distracted group performed just as well as the focused group.‎ And a following study published in the Journal of Memory and Language further validates the power of inactive learning. Researchers found that Spanish students learning the Basque accent improved less when they were instructed to repeat sounds back during their training; listening to new sounds silently actually resulted in better memory.‎ So, is it time to lay off your tutor and buy a box set of Cordon Salvaje? Not quite. While this growing body of research suggests inactive language learning is an amazing tool in your language learning, the value of focused practice cannot be ignored. “You need to come to class and pay attention,” says Melissa Baese-Berk, a language expert and co-author of one of the studies, “But when you go home, turn on the TV or turn on the radio in that language while you’re cooking dinner, and even if you’re not paying total attention to it, it’s going to help you.”‎ So get out there and learn… but not too hard. While you’re at it，it wouldn’t hurt to improve your grammar skills.‎ 33. What are the findings of the recent studies about?‎ A．Television and radio are the only tools for language learning.‎ B．Inactive learning plays a great role in learning new languages.‎ C．Full attention contributes to greater achievement of language learning D．It is important to communicate with native speakers when learning new languages.‎ ‎34. What is Melissa Baese-Berk’s attitude towards inactive language learning?‎ A．doubtful B．favorable C．Indifferent D．disapproving ‎35. Which practice does the author probably approve?‎ A．Giving up pronunciation drills in the class.‎ B．Repeating after the tapes intentionally all the time.‎ C．Playing target languages in the background while dinning.‎ D．Practicing distinguishing difficult sounds of target languages.‎ 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。‎ Children's Games in Ancient China ‎ Unlike the
