2、 loss and out of place. Until I made a discovery.Southbank, at an eastern bend in the Thames, is the center of British skateboarding, where the continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing .I loved it. I soon made friends with the local skaters. We spoke our own language. And my favorit

3、e: Safe. Safe meant cool. It meant hello. It meant dont worry about it. Once, when trying a certain trick on the beam（横杆）, I fell onto the stones, damaging a nerve in my hand, and Toby came over, helping me up: Safe, man. Safe. A few minutes later, when I landed the trick, my friends beat their boar

4、ds loud, shouting: “ Safe! Safe! Safe!” And thats what mattered landing tricks, being a good skater.When I was 15, my family moved to Washington. I tried skateboarding there, but the locals were far less welcoming. Within a couple of years, Id given it up.When I returned to London in 2004, I found m

5、yself wandering down to Southbank, spending hours there. Ive traveled back several times since, most recently this past spring. The day was cold but clear; tourists and Londoners stopped to watch the skaters. Weaving（穿梭）among the kids who rushed by on their boards, I found my way to the beam. Then a

6、 rail-thin teenager, in a baggy white Tshirt, skidded（滑）up to the beam. He sat next to me. He seemed not to notice the man next to him.

This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries.Lets state clearly: Einstein was a genius. His face is almost the international symbol f

10、or genius. But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself. Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us? And who are they? In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniuses were most often white men, of European origin. Perhaps t

11、his is not a surprise. Its said that history is written by the victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club women, or people of a different color or belief they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.A st

12、udy recently published by Science found that as young as age six, girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender（性别）are “really, really smart.” Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief: Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who ar

13、e “really, really smart.” Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up? It doesnt take a genius to know the answer: absolutely not.Heres the good news. In a wired world with constant global communication, were all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they a

14、ppear. And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors（因素）like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius.

In his spare time though he goes on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopovanot as a musician but as her page turner. Im not a trained musician, b

18、ut Ive learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance. Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the groups official page turner for the past four years. His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesnt have to break the flow

19、of sound by doing it themselves. He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage. A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you dont turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot. Mr Titte

20、rton explained. Being a page turner requires plenty of practice. Some pieces of music can go for 40 minutes and require up to 50 page turns, including back turns for repeat passages. Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of nodding to indicate a page turn which th

21、ey need to practise with their page turner. But like all performances, there are moments when things go wrong. I was turning the page to get ready for the next page, but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand, Mr Titterton said, Luckily I was able to catch them and

22、 put them back. Most page turners are piano students or up-and-coming concerts pianists, although Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage.

25、hen the explorers first set force upon the continent of North America, the sky and lands were alive with an astonishing variety of wildlife. Native Americans had taken care of these precious natural resources wisely. Unfortunately, it took the explorers and the servitor who followed only a few decad

26、es to decimate a large part of these resources. Millions of waterfowl(水禽) were killed at the hands of market hunters and a handful of overly ambitious sportsmen. Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to feed and house the ever-increasing populations, greatly reducing waterfowl habitat(栖息地). In 19

27、34, with the passage of the Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Act (Act), an increasingly concerned nation took firm action to stop the destruction of migratory(迁徙的) waterfowl and the wetlands so vital to their survival. Under this Act, all waterfowl hunters 16 years of age and over must annually purchase

28、 and carry a Federal Duck Stamp. The very first Federal Duck Stamp was designed by JN. Ding Darling, a political cartoonist from Des Moines, lowa, who at that time was appointed by President Franklin Roosevelt as Director of the Bureau of Biological Survey. Hunters willingly pay the stamp price to e

29、nsure the survival of our natural resources. About 98 cents of every duck stamp dollar goes directly into the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund to purchase wetlands and wildlife habitat for inclusion into the National Wildlife Refuge Systema fact that ensures this land will be protected and available

30、 for all generations to come. Since 1934, better than half a billion dollars has gone into that Fund to purchase more than 5 million acres of habitat. Little wonder the Federal Duck Stamp Program has been called one of the most successful conservation programs ever initiated.13. What was a cause of

31、the waterfowl population decline in North America?A.Loss of wetlands.B.Popularity of water sports.C.Pollution of rivers.D.Arrival of other wild animals.14. What does the underlined word decimate mean in the first paragraph?A.Acquire.B.Export.C.Destroy.D.Distribute.15. What is a direct result of the

32、Act passed in 1934?A.The stamp price has gone down.B.The migratory birds have flown away.C.The hunters have stopped hunting.D.The government has collected money.16. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A.The Federal Duck Stamp Story.B.The National Wildlife Refuge System.C.The Bene

33、fits of Saving Waterfowl.D.The History of Migratory Bird Hunting.E Popularization has in some cases changed the original meaning of emotional(情感的) intelligence. Many people now misunderstand emotional intelligence as almost everything desirable in a persons makeup that cannot be measured by an IQ te

34、st, such as character, motivation, confidence, mental stability, optimism and people skills. Research has shown that emotional skills may contribute to some of these qualities, but most of them move far beyond skill-based emotional intelligence. We prefer to describe emotional intelligence as a spec

35、ific set of skills that can be used for either good or bad purposes. The ability to accurately understand how others are feeling may be used by a doctor to find how best to help her patients, while a cheater might use it to control potential victims. Being emotionally intelligent does not necessaril

36、y make one a moral person. Although popular beliefs regarding emotional intelligence run far ahead of what research can reasonably support, the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful. The most positive aspect of this popularization is a new and much needed emphasis(重

37、视) on emotion by employers, educators and others interested in promoting social well-being. The popularization of emotional intelligence has helped both the public and researchers re-evaluate the functionality of emotions and how they serve people adaptively in everyday life. Although the continuing

38、 popular appeal of emotional intelligence is desirable, we hope that such attention will excite a greater interest in the scientific and scholarly study of emotion. It is our hope that in coming decades, advances in science will offer new perspectives(视角) from which to study how people manage their

39、lives. Emotional intelligence, with its focus on both head and heart, may serve to point us in the right direction.17. What is a common misunderstanding of emotional intelligence?A.It can be measured by an IQ test.B.It helps to exercise a persons mind.C.It includes a set of emotional skills.D.It ref

40、ers to a persons positive qualities.18. Why does the author mention doctor and cheater in paragraph 2?A.To explain a rule.B.To clarity a concept.C.To present a fact.D.To make a prediction.19. What is the authors attitude to the popularization of emotional intelligence?A.Favorable.B.Intolerant.C.Doub

41、tful.D.Unclear.20. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning emotional intelligence?A.Its appeal to the public.B.Expectations for future studies.C.Its practical application.D.Scientists with new perspectives.第二部分 完形填空（一） （共15小题：每小题1.5分，满分22.5分）My life as a tax-paying employed person
