Yellowstone Poster Exhibition to Be on View at UW’s Coe Library

A first-of-its-kind exhibition that focuses on the history of Yellowstone National Park posters will be on display at the University of Wyoming’s Coe Library beginning Tuesday, February 1.

“Wonderland Illustrated” will present posters and poster-style illustrations of the park spanning from the 1870s through . The exhibition will be located on Level 3 of Coe Library. It will be on view through Tuesday, May 31.

The exhibition takes place at the same time as this year’s 150th anniversary of the creation of Yellowstone National Park. The posters in the exhibition serve the purpose of both advertising and art.

“We’re thrilled to be working with Yellowstone collectors Jack and Susan Davís, and Larry and Thea Lancaster to bring this exhibition to the University of Wyoming as part of year-long celebrations recognizing Yellowstone’s 150th anniversary,” says Tamsen Hert, head of UW Libraries’ Emmett D. Chisum Special Collections. “This exhibition involves the history of printing, art, photography and advertising over 16 decades. The images reproduced are found on travel brochures, postcards and maps—many of which are held in our collections.”

One poster from the exhibition—Henry Wellge’s “Yellowstone National Park” from1904—was recently purchased with donated funds and is now part of UW Libraries’ Emmett D. Chisum Special Collections. Wellge, a productive bird’s-eye-view artist, designed the piece for the Northern Pacific Railroad, which used it to advertise the park. This is a unique piece, as posters such as this one were printed on soft paper and very few have survived.

1. How long will the exhibition “Wonderland Illustrated” last?

A. Two weeks. B. Three months. C. Four months. D. One year.

2. What is a purpose of the exhibition?

A. To remember a famous artist. B. To raise fund for Coe Library.

C. To mark the anniversary of a national park. D. To tell the history of the University of Wyoming.

3. What do we know about the 1904 poster Henry Wellge designed?

A. It is rare in the world. B. It is in black and white.

C. It is printed on cloth. D. It is owned by a professor.

Parrots are prey animals, which means that other predators (捕食者) in the wild, such as hawks or snakes, are looking to make them into a meal. This one factor influences parrots’ behavior in your house more than any other.

Parrots are most easily hurt when feeding on the ground. Membership in a group plays an important function in ensuring their safety and improving their chances of survival from attacks by predators. The most common predators of parrots include hawks, snakes, cats, monkeys, and bats. Some predators make attacks only during the day while others hunt in the night.

As prey animals, parrots are constantly watching out for danger and they instinctively (本能地) react to risks. Their first choice is to take flight. However, if this is not possible, they will fight with their powerful beaks to defend themselves.

Because their biggest enemy is the hawk, parrots are especially reactive to quick movements from above and behind. For this reason, it is wise to avoid quick, sudden movements near your bird. This is a built-in reaction not subject to logic or reason. Simple and relatively harmless household objects can draw extreme fear responses from a bird. For example, a balloon may represent a hawk or a vacuum hose (吸塵器軟管) may be the same as a snake in your bird’s mind.

As prey animals, parrots are often frightened by exposure to new household items or strangers. It is important to expose your bird to safe experiences and changes starting at a very young age to build flexibility and improve their adaptability. Variety in diet and toys, travel, and exposure to new people and places all help to make your bird more flexible and adaptable to change.

4. What is important for parrots to better survive from attacks in the wild?

A. Living in a group. B. Growing beautiful feathers.

C. Feeding on the ground. D. Avoiding coming out at night.

5. What is parrots’ first response to an immediate risk?

A. To attack back. B. To get away.

C.To protect the young. D. To play dead.

6. Why would a balloon frighten a parrot?

A. It may explode suddenly. B. It may be in a strange shape.

C. It may have a strong color. D. It may move around quickly.

7.What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?

A. To explain wild parrots’ behavior. B. To give advice on raising a parrot.

C. To call for action to protect animals. D. To introduce a study on bird ecology.

For example, a balloon may represent a hawk or a vacuum hose (吸塵器軟管) may be the same as a snake in your bird’s mind.(簡單且相對無害的家居用品會引起鳥類的極度恐懼反應(yīng)。例如，在你的鳥心目中，氣球可能代表鷹，或者真空軟管可能與蛇相同)”以及最后一段“As prey animals, parrots are often frightened by exposure to new household items or strangers. It is important to expose your bird to safe experiences and changes starting at a very young age to build flexibility and improve their adaptability. Variety in diet and toys, travel, and exposure to new people and places all help to make your bird more flexible and adaptable to change.(作為獵物，鸚鵡經(jīng)常被新的家庭用品或陌生人嚇到。從很小的時候就開始讓你的鳥接觸安全的體驗和變化，以建立靈活性并提高它們的適應(yīng)性，這一點很重要。飲食和玩具的多樣性、旅行以及接觸新的人和地方都有助于讓你的鳥更靈活，更適應(yīng)變化)”可知，本文的寫作目的是對飼養(yǎng)鸚鵡提建議，故選B項。

C

In his 1936 work How to Win Friends and Influence People, Dale Carnegie wrote: “I have come to the conclusion that there is only one way to get the best of an argument — and that is to avoid it.” This distaste for arguments is common, but it depends on a mistaken view of arguments that causes problems for our personal and social lives — and in many ways misses the point of arguing in the first place.

Carnegie would be right if arguments were fights, which is how we often think of them. Like physical fights, verbal (言語的) fights can leave both sides bloodied. Even when you win, you end up no better off. You would be feeling almost as bad if arguments were even just competitions — like, say, tennis tournaments. Pairs of opponents hit the ball back and forth until one winner comes out from all who entered. Everybody else loses. This kind of thinking explains why so many people try to avoid arguments.

However, there are ways to win an argument every time. When you state your position, formulate (闡述) an argument for what you claim and honestly ask yourself whether your argument is any good. When you talk with someone who takes a stand, ask them to give you a reason for their view and spell out their argument fully. Assess its strength and weakness. Raise objections (異議) and listen carefully to their replies. This method will require effort, but practice will make you better at it.

These tools can help you win every argument — not in the unhelpful sense of beating your opponents but in the better sense of learning about what divides people, learning why they disagree with us and learning to talk and work together with them. If we readjust our view of arguments — from a verbal fight or tennis game to a reasoned exchange through which we all gain respect and understanding from each other — then we change the very nature of what it means to “win” an argument.

8. What is the author’s attitude toward Carnegie’s understanding of argument?

A. Critical. B. Supportive. C. Tolerant. D. Uncertain.

9. Why do many people try to avoid arguments?

A. They lack debating skills. B. They may feel bad even if they win.

C. They fear being ignored. D. They are not confident in themselves.

10. What does the underlined phrase “spell out” in paragraph 3 probably mean?

A. Defend. B. Explain. C. Conclude. D. Repeat.

11. What is the key to “winning” an argument according to the author?

A. Sense of logic. B. Solid supporting evidence.

C. Proper manners. D. Understanding from both sides.

【答案】8. A9. B10. B11. D

【解析】

【導(dǎo)語】這是一篇說明文，作者闡述了爭論的意義和贏得爭論的方法。

【8題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中“This distaste for arguments is common, but it depends on a mistaken view of arguments that causes problems for our personal and social lives — and in many ways misses the point of arguing in the first place.(這種對爭論的厭惡是很普遍的，但它取決于對爭論的錯誤看法，這種觀點會給我們的個人和社會生活帶來問題——而且在很多方面，它首先忽略了爭論的意義)”可知，作者對于Carnegie對爭論的看法持批判態(tài)度，故選A。

【9題詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中“Like physical fights, verbal (言語的) fights can leave both sides bloodied. Even when you win, you end up no better off. You would be feeling almost as bad if arguments were even just competitions — like, say, tennis tournaments.(和身體上的打斗一樣，言語上的打斗也會讓雙方流血。即使你贏了，你最終也不會變得更好。如果爭論只是一場比賽，比如網(wǎng)球比賽，你也會感覺很糟糕)”可知，很多人盡量避免爭論，是因為即使贏了他們也感覺很糟糕，故選B。

【10題詳解】

詞句猜測題。根據(jù)劃線短語所在句“ask them to give you a reason for their view”可知，讓他們?yōu)樽约旱挠^點提供依據(jù)，即讓他們充分闡明他們的觀點，spell out意為“解釋明白，講清楚”，故選B。

【11題詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中“If we readjust our view of arguments — from a verbal fight or tennis game to a reasoned exchange through which we all gain respect and understanding from each other — then we change the very nature of what it means to “win” an argument.(如果我們重新調(diào)整我們對爭論的看法——從一場口水戰(zhàn)或網(wǎng)球比賽轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)橐环N理性的交流，通過這種交流，我們都能獲得彼此的尊重和理解——那么我們就改變了‘贏得’爭論的本質(zhì))”可知，作者認(rèn)為“贏得”爭論的關(guān)鍵是通過交流獲得彼此的尊重和理解，故選D。

For lots of kids, toddlerhood (幼兒期) is an important time for friendship. Studies show that the earlier kids learn to form positive relationships, the better they are at relating to others as teenagers and adults. Playing together also helps these kids practice social behaviors, such as kindness, sharing, and cooperation.

Even so, how quickly your child develops into a social creature may also depend on his temperament(性格). Some toddler s are very social, but others are shy. In addition, the way that toddlers demonstrate that they like other children is markedly different from what adults think of as expressions of friendship. Research at Ohio State University in Columbus found that a toddler’s way of saying “I like you” during play is likely to come in the form of copying a friend’s behavior.

This seemingly unusual way of demonstrating fondness can result in unpleasant behavior. Regardless of how much they like a playmate, they may still grab his toys, refuse to share, and get bossy. But experts say that this is a normal and necessary part of friendship for kids this age. Through play experiences, toddlers learn social rules. That’s why it’s so important to take an active role in your toddler’s social encounters by setting limits and offering frequent reminders of what they are. When you establish these guidelines, explain the reasons behind them.

Begin by helping your child learn sympathy (“Ben is crying. What’s making him so sad?”), then suggest how he could resolve the problem (“Maybe he would feel better if you let him play the ball.”). When your child shares or shows empathy(同理心) toward a friend, praise him (“Ben stopped crying! You made him feel better.”).

Another way to encourage healthy social interaction is by encouraging kids to use words- not fists-to express how they feel. It’s also important to be mindful of how your child’s personality affects playtime. Kids are easy to get angry when they’re sleepy or hungry, so schedule playtime when they’re refreshed.

12. What does it indicate when toddlers copy their playmates’ behavior?

A. They are interested in acting. B. They are shy with the strangers.

C. They are fond of their playmates. D. They are tired of playing games.

13. What does the author suggest parents do for their kids?

A. Design games for them. B. Find them suitable playmates.

C. Play together with them. D. Help them understand social rules.

14. What is the function of the quoted statements in paragraph 4?

A. Giving examples. B. Explaining concepts.

C. Providing evidence. D. Making comparisons.

15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?

A. How Children Adapt to Changes B. How to Be a Role Model for Children

C. How Your Baby Learns to Love D. How to Communicate with Your Kid

【答案】12. C13. D14. A15. C

【解析】

47. 閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。

Last summer, Hilda worked as a volunteer with dolphin trainers at a sea life park. Her job was to make sure the tanks were free of any items so that the trainers could train the dolphins to fetch specific items. However, one day after cleaning, one of the dolphins, Maya, presented Hilda with a candy wrapper from the tank. When Katherine, the trainer, saw this, she blamed Hilda for her carelessness. Upset but not discouraged by this event, Hilda decided to do some spying on Maya.

The next morning, Hilda arrived at the park early. She put on her scuba gear (水下呼吸器) and jumped into the tank for her usual, underwater sweep. Finding nothing in the tank, she climbed out of the water just in time to see Katherine jumping in on the other side. After what happened yesterday, Hilda knew what she was doing. She watched as Katherine performed her underwater search, but Hilda wasn’t surprised when she surfaced empty-handed.

During the tank sweeps, Maya had been swimming playfully, but now the dolphin stopped suddenly and swam to the back part of the tank where the filter (過濾) box was located. She stuck her nose down behind the box and then swam away. What was Maya doing back there? Hilda wondered. She jumped back into the water and swam over to take a look behind the box, and her question was answered. Hilda then swam across the tank following Maya’s path and emerged from the water to find Katherine removing her scuba gear. As Katherine turned around, her mouth dropped open. There was Maya at the edge of the tank with a comb (梳子) in her mouth waiting for her treat.

“Maya! Where did you get that?” demanded Katherine, taking the comb and throwing her a fish. “I know where she got it,” declared Hilda climbing out of the tank with a handful of items still wet from their watery, resting place. “What’s all this?” Katherine asked, obviously confused.

注意：

(1)續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150個左右;

“This is Maya’s secret,” Hilda said with a big smile.

Now Katherine realized what had been going on.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

【答案】

“This is Maya’s secret,” Hilda said with a big smile.The truth of the matter, Hilda continued, is that Maya has been secretly collecting items from the tank, hiding them near the filter in the back of the tank. When you train her, she will give you some items so that she can get treats from you. “Really? How do you know that?” Catherine asked in surprise. Hilda laughed and replied, “It took me a long time to discover this secret, too. It’s not easy to follow Maya.”

Now Katherine realized what had been going on. Catherine thought to herself, this is really a clever dolphin. And she said to Hilda, “Well, Maya loves treats, so we’ll work together, and you’ll secretly help her collect a few things and put them in the filter at the back of the tank. I’ll give her treats, the number of which I can increase.” Hilda replied, “Good idea, let’s do it.” From then on, the Sea Life Park is full of warmth and harmony. Maya’s performance in front of the audience is getting better and better.

高中英語提分方法

1.重復(fù)記憶

高中英語在高考中占據(jù)著比較高分的地位，但是很多的同學(xué)感覺英語比較復(fù)雜，一大堆單詞和語法，看著就頭疼，從而放棄了對英語的學(xué)習(xí)，高三網(wǎng)我表示其實高中英語沒有大家想象的那么困難，書本上的單詞以及短語都是最基本的，其次才是閱讀其他資料的詞匯。

對于書本上的詞匯量，高中生需要每天都抽出一定的時間進(jìn)行記憶，并跟著同學(xué)相互聽寫已驗證之間的掌握正度。這種模式高三網(wǎng)我建議每天都要堅持，并且在不斷學(xué)習(xí)的過程中還得要不斷重復(fù)，滅個一段時間后就應(yīng)該去溫故一遍，檢查出哪里比較陌生的詞匯，再次記憶，直到完全掌握。

2.重視詞匯

高中英語的詞匯量相比初中英語的詞匯量增加了不少，所學(xué)的單詞也幾乎全部都是常見和常用的單詞，對于他們就是要做到背下來，要背的滾瓜爛熟，不僅要見漢語說英語，也就是過好單詞關(guān)。

花上一周的時候，以半學(xué)期的單詞量為單位學(xué)單詞，每天記一個單元，一周后進(jìn)行專門的單詞測試，這樣就給同學(xué)們預(yù)習(xí)課文掃清了單詞障礙。在接下來上課文的過程中，重點就放在了詞的理解和應(yīng)用上了，同時也起到了對單詞的復(fù)習(xí)作用。只要記住了單詞，無疑對學(xué)生的課文閱讀等都會有極大的促進(jìn)作用，也能起事半功倍的效果，所以過好單詞關(guān)是必要的。

高考英語選擇題蒙題技巧

一、找共同點。

比如說有一道題的選項有四個：

A.study B.to study C.learning D.to read

可以看出，其中的study有兩個;其中的不定式也有兩個。所以兩個顯著特點集于一身的to study的選擇可能性就十分的大。

二、找矛盾點(適用于單選)。

比如一道題問：

下列關(guān)于密度的說法中，錯誤的是：

其中，有兩個這樣的選項：

B.質(zhì)量相同，體積大的物體密度小。

D.質(zhì)量相同，體積大的物體密度大。

這就可以看出，一定其中有一個是錯誤的——唉，你別笑!有很多的題中，都會有矛盾的地方。只要找出矛盾，再蒙的幾率就大多了。

三、培養(yǎng)“蒙感”

這個所謂“蒙感”，就是這蒙題的感覺。因為不可能一面卷子上你一道題也不會做(當(dāng)然也有例外)，你也有很大可能有不會做的題。這時，就要看蒙題的感覺了。所有考試的人都知道，選擇題中選擇B、C選項的占絕大多數(shù)。所以遇到不會的題，就往B、C上靠，幾率會大一點。
