16、n of the Civil War, so it looked westward for the raw materials needed to fuel industrial growth. Geological surveys and mapping journeys were set forth to explore this 50 territory. These groups, in turn, hired mapmakers, scientists, cooks, drivers, and doctors. They also hired painters and photogr
17、aphers as part of the teams. Painters needed few supplies, making it relatively easy for them to travel in the wilderness,51 photographers were not so lucky; they had to transport a fully stockeddarkroom on the52.Until the late 1870s, most photographers used the53wet-collodion process. The first ste
18、pwas to wash a clean sheet of glass with a sticky mixture of collodion and chemicals, (collodion or gun-cotton was a recent medical discovery used to cover wounds because the viscous (粘性的) solution turned into a protective film when dry.) After it was washed, the plate went into another bath that th
19、e picture was54getting darker; Finally, the glass negative (J氐片)was washedclean with fresh water. 55 a photograph from the negative had to wait until thephotographer went back to the studio. The56of the negative depended on the size of thecamera. Some negatives could be as large as 20 by 24 inches.I

Each passage is followed by several questions or unf
24、inished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.0(A)I once had my Chinese MBA students brainstorming on “two-hour business plans”. I separated them into six groups and
25、 gave them an example: a restaurant chain. The more original their idea, the better, I said. Finally, five of the six groups presented plans for restaurant chains. The sixth proposed a catering service. Though I admitted the time limit had been difficult, I expressed my disappointment.My students we
26、re middle managers, financial analysts and financiers from state owned enterprises and global companies. They were not without talent or opinions, but they had been shaped by an educational system that rarely stressed or rewarded critical thinking or inventiveness. The scene I just described came in
27、 different forms during my two years teaching at the school. Papers were often copied from the Web and the Harvard Business Review. Case study debates were written up and just memorized. Students frequently said that copying is a superior business strategy, better than inventing and creating.In Chin
28、a, every product you can imagine has been made and sold. But so few well developed marketing and management minds have been raised that it will be a long time before most people in the world can name a Chinese brand.With this problem in mind, partnerships with institutions like Yale and MIT have bee
29、n established. And then theres the thousand talent scheme”: this new government program is intended to improve technological modernization by attracting top foreign trained scientists to the mainland with big money. But there are worries about Chinas research environment. Its hardly known for produc
30、ing independent thinking and openness, and even big salary offers may not be attractive enough to overcome this.At last, for China, becoming a major world creator is not just about setting up partnerships with top Western universities. Nor is it about gathering a group of well-educated people and te
31、lling them to think creatively. It*s about establishing a rich learning environment for young minds. Itzs not that simple.65. Why does the author feel disappointed at his students?A. Because there is one group presenting a catering service.B. Because the six groups made projects for restaurant chain
32、s.C. Because all the students copied a case for the difficult topic.D. Because the students ideas were lacking in creativeness.66. We can infer from the passage that.A. China can make and sell any product all over the worldhigh pay may not solve the problem of China s research environmentB. cooperat
33、ion with institutions has been set up to make a Chinese brandthe new government program are aimed at encouraging imagination67. Which is the best title of the passage?A. Look for a New Way of Learning.B. Reward Creative Thinking.C. How to Become a Creator.D. Establish a technical Environment.(B)Ever
34、y summer, no matter how urgent work schedule is, I take off one day exclusively for my son. We call it dad-son day. This year our third stop was the amusement panic, where we discoveredthat he was tall enough to ride one of the fastest roller coasters (过山车)in the world. We experienced through face-s
35、tretching turns and circles for ninety seconds. Then, as we stepped off the ride, in a calm voice, he remarked that it was not as exciting as other rides hed been on. As I listened, I began to sense something seriously out of balance.Throughout the season, I noticed similar events all around me. Par
36、ents found it hard to find new stimulations for cold kids. Surrounded by ever-greater stimulation, their young feces were looking disappointed and boredFacing their childrens complaints of nothing to do”, parents were spending large numbers of dollars for various forms of entertainment In many cases
37、 the money seemed to do little more than buy relief from the terrible complaint of their bored children. This set me thinking the obvious question: How can it be so hard for kids to find something to do when theres been such a range of stimulating entertainment available to them?What really worries
38、me is the strength of the stimulation. I watch my little daughters &ce as she absorbs bloody special effects in movies.Why do children facing such excitement seem starved for more? Thai was, I realized, the point I discovered during my own adolescence that what creates excitement is not going fast,
39、but going faster. Excitement has less to do with speed than changes in speed.I am concerned about the increasing effect of years at these levels of feverish activity. It is no mystery to me why many teenagers appear uninterested and burned out, with a been there, done that air of indifference toward
40、 much of life. As increasing numbers of friends children are advised to take medicine to deal with inattentiveness at school or anti-depressants （抗抑郁药）to help with the loss of interest and joy in their livesI question the role of kids boredom in some of the diagnoses （处方）.My own work is focused on t
41、he chemical imbalances and biological factors related to behavioral and emotional disorders. These are complex problems. Yet Ive been reflecting more and more on how lie pace of life and the strength of stimulation may be contributing to the rising rates of psychological problems among children and
42、adolescents in our society.68. The reason why the author felt surprised in the amusement park was that.A. his son was not as excited by the roller coasters ride as expectedhis songs enjoyed turns and circles with his face stretchedB. his son appeared upset but calm while riding the roller coastershi
43、s son could keep his balance so well on the fast moving roller coasters69. According to the author, children will probably feel excited,if their parents allow them to ride roller coasters very oftenA. since parents spend money on the same form of entertainmentafter they take anti-depressants accordi
44、ng to the diagnosesB. if they are often exposed to more stimulating entertainmentFrom his own experience, the author came to the conclusion that children seem to expectA. a much wider variety of sports facilitiesactivities that require complicated skillsB. the change of the forms of recreationmore c
45、hallenging physical exercise70. In order to relieve childrens boredom, the author would probably suggest.A. adjusting the pace of life and strength of stimulationpromoting the practice of dad-son daysB. consulting a specialist in child psychologybalancing school work with after school activities(C)C
46、ultural rules determine every aspect of food consumption. Who eats together defines social units. For example, in some societies, the nuclear family is the unit that regularly eats together. The anthropologist Mary Douglas has pointed out that, for the English, the kind of meal and the kind of food
47、that is served relate to the kinds of social links between people who are eating together. She distinguishes between regular meals, Sunday meals when relatives may come, and cocktail parties for relatives and friends. The food served symbolizes the occasion and reflects who is present. For example,
48、only snacks are served at a cocktail party. It would be inappropriate to serve a steak or hamburgers. The distinctions among cocktails, regular meals, and special dinners mark the social boundaries between those guests who are invited for drinks, those who are invited to dinner; and those who come t
49、o a family meal. In this example, the type of food symbolizes the category of guest and with whom it is eaten.In some New Guinea societies, the nuclear family is not the unit that eats together. The men take their meals in a mens house, separately from their wives and children. Women prepare and eat their food in their own houses and take the husbands portion to the mens house. The wo
