第二部分 阅读理解
A
When you choose a higher education course, here are some tips for you to follow.
Choosing your course
There are a range of subjects and courses available. Many are work-related; others are academic. You’ll need to look beyond the course title because courses with almost the same name may differ enormously. For example, if you’re interested in construction but wish to use our creative skills, you may be better suited to a building design management course than a building project management course.
Style of learning
Think about the style of learning that best suits you. It’s important to study a subject that ou particularly enjoy, but if you want to follow a career in a different area, you may consider taking the subjects you want to learn and joining them into one degree. Many degree courses are made up of different subject modules which deal with particular areas of interest.
Choosing where to study
Where you study can be almost as important as what you study. One thing to consider is whether you want to live at home or move away. For some people, living at home offers the best of both worlds, but it may make sense to move if you want to study a particular course at a specific university or college. Many students value the experience of living on campus or in a different part of the country as an important part of university life.
Finding out more about courses
Once you’ve got a list of courses that appeal to you, it’s worth looking at some other sources of information about them, like independent reports. These provide information on the numbers of students who finished the course, student satisfaction and more.
Open days
Open days usually take place in spring or autumn. Although you may have an idea about what a course is like, there’s no substitute(替代) for attending a class yourself. If you can’t come on the open days, you can sign up for a guided tour instead.
36. You need to look beyond the course title because courses with similar names may be _____.
A.creativity-focused
B.work-related
C.far different
D.quite similar
37. What are you advised to do if your interest disagrees with your future career?
A. Add preferred subjects to your degree courses.
B. Choose the subjects based on your interest.
C. Earn different degrees
D. Give up your interest
38. What do we learn about from Para. 4?
A. Disadvantages of studying on campus
B. Reasons for choosing where to study
C. Importance of attending a nearby college
D. Problems of going to a faraway university
39. Why is it recommended to check independent reports?
A.to increase applicants’ interest.
B.to better understand a course.
C.to figure out how to complete a course.
D.to find out how different the courses are.
40. On the open days, would -be college students can _______.
A.sign up for a particular course
B.take a guided tour on the campus
C.see whether there is a substitute course
D.have a first-hand experience of a course

With a satisfied smile, Keisha finished the last sentence of her English essay about one of her heroes, Rosa Parks, an important figure in the Civil Rights Movement.
“Keisha” her mother shouted from downstairs. “It’s almost 4:15.”
“Don’t worry. I won’t be late.” Keisha pulled down a storybook from her bookshelf, as she always read to the nursing home’s residents. And on an impulse(一时心血来潮), she added her English notebook as well.
As Keisha came running in the door, the manager told her, “We have a new resident this week, Mrs. Ruby Watson. She’s still adjusting to her new surroundings. You’ll find her in Room 28. and by the way, Keisha, good luck.”
Keisha walked down the hallway at a quick pace. As she entered Room 28, she met two sharp brown eyes staring at her doubtfully.
“I’m Keisha Jackson, a volunteer,” Keisha explained. “I come here to help pass the time with residents, or read to them, or,...” Keisha started stammering(结巴) as Mrs. Watson continued to stare at her.
“I didn’t request anyone to keep me company,” Mrs. Watson interrupted. “I’m alone most of the time, and that’s how I prefer it.”
“I brought along some funny stories” Keisha said hesitantly.
“I’m not in the mood for funny stories,” Mrs. Watson replied angrily. “What else do you have?”
Nervously, Keisha opened her notebook to her essay. She read the title aloud, “Rosa Parks: A Woman of Courage and Conviction(信念).” she glanced at Mrs. Watson to see how she might react, but to her surprise, Mrs. Watson’s face relaxed and her eyes shone. “Read to me about Rosa,” Mrs. Watson said.
Keisha read how Rosa Parks’ refusal to give up her seat to a white passenger on a bus in 1955 inspired the protest that became a turning point in the struggle for civil rights.
“I walked with Rosa Parks and Dr. Martin Luther King,” Mrs. Watson said with pride. “That was the greatest moment of my life because...” she paused.
Sitting up straighter, Mrs. Watson said, “Yes, I was and I still am. Thank you for reminding me, Keisha. Next Thursday, I will tell you my story.”

D. Keisha was a shy person.

If you were bringing friends home to visit, you could show them the way. You know the landmarks----a big red house or a bus-stop sign. But what if you were swimming in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean? Could you still find your way home? A loggerhead turtle(海龟) could.
According to Dr. Ken Lohmann, loggerheads have a magnetic(磁力的) sense based on Earth’s magnetic field. It helps them locate the best spots for finding food and their home beaches.
Scientists already know that several other animals, such as whales and honeybees, can detect(探测到) magnetic fields. The difference between them and loggerheads, however, is the way they learn to use their magnetic sense. Young whales and honeybees can learn from adults. Loggerheads are abandoned as eggs.
As newborn loggerheads have no adults to learn from, what helps them figure out how to use their magnetic sense? Lohmann thinks one of the cues was light on the sea.
Baby loggerheads hatch only at night. However, a small amount of light reflects off the ocean. The light makes that region brighter. Heading toward the light helps them get quickly out to sea, where they can find food. Lohmann tested whether newborn loggerheads use this light source to set their magnetic “compasses”(罗盘). he and his team put some newborns in a water tank and recorded which way they swam. Around the tank, the scientists created a magnetic field that matched the Earth’s. they set a weak light to the east of the magnetic field. Then they let the newborns go.
At first, the newborns swam toward the light. After the scientists turned off the light, the turtles that had seen the light in the east always swam toward east. When the researchers reversed(颠倒) the magnetic field, these turtles turned around and swam toward the new “east”.
This and the follow-up experiments all showed that loggerheads use light from the outside world to set their magnetic “compasses” and then remember the “correct” direction. If a turtle hatches on a brightly-lit beach, that would damage its magnetic sense forever and make survival hard for the turtle.
Lohmann’s work has led others to protect the habitat of this endangered species. Yet many questions about these creatures remain unanswered, and researchers have a lot to study.
46. Loggerheads and whales differ in the way they_________.
A.bring up their young
B.recognize landmarks
C.detect magnetic fields
D.learn to find directions
47. What is needed for newborn loggerheads to set their magnetic sense?
A. Weak light reflected off the ocean.

48. In the experiment, after the newborns’ magnetic sense was set, their moving direction was determined by ________.
A.the light
B.the magnetic field
C.other unknown factors
D.the light and the magnetic field
49. What is the significance of Lohmann’s research work?
A. It enables researchers to keep track of turtles.
B. It contributes to the studies of the magnetic field.
C. It offers a new solution to environmental pollution.
D. It helps protect the loggerheads’ living environment.
50. What could be the best title of the passage?
A. Experiments on loggerheads
B. The survival of the Sea Turtle
C. The Loggerhead’s Built-in “Compass”
D. Comparison of Loggerheads and other Animals.

Most people aren’t good at creative problem solving for two reasons: (1) they are not trained in how to be creative. (2) they don’t understand group strength well enough to harness(驾驭) their power to maximize group creativity.
A key element of creativity is applying existing knowledge to a new problem. The more people getting involved in solving it, the more knowledge there is to work on it. Unfortunately, research shows that the traditional brainstorming methods fail to achieve that goal. When groups get together to e
