22．（8分）Scientists have found amounts of water molecules inside rocks and soil samples from Mars before. But an ancient meteorite (陨石) found recently contains 10 times more water and much more oxygen than any Martian I meteorite ever before discovered.
What’s so wild about this wet discovery? It could mean that the Red Planet once had enough water to have liquid flowing on the planet’s surface.
It was once believed that if Mars ever had water at all, its water would have been small amounts of ice below the surface or existing in the soil only as hydrogen and oxygen---the elements that make up water. But recent discoveries have shown that Mars probably had a much wetter history than formerly thought.
The meteorite, nicknamed Black Beauty, was found in Africa’s Sahara Desert in 2011. Only about 110 meteorites from Mars have ever been found. Scientists believe
most Martian meteorites arrived on our planet during one large asteroid crash (小行星碰撞) that sent rocks falling toward Earth long ago.
Black Beauty is about 2.1 billion years old. Its discovery is the first time scientists have been able to study such an ancient Martian rock. It’s also o ne of the first times scientists have been able to study a piece of the panel’s ancient surface.
The sample’s water molecules were sent out when scientists heated the meteorite to analyze it. Scientists think the meteorite’s hydrogen and oxygen molecules a re so plentiful because water flowing on Mars at the time this meteorite fell to Earth, or because these molecules were once sealed in large quantities in Mars’s crust.
Black Beauty might do more than just unlock secrets from the Red Planet’s past. These d iscoveries could also help scientists understand new data about Mars that’s being sent from the robotic rovers currently gathering information on the planet.
1、People used to think that .
A．there was little water on Mars B．Mars had a lot of flowing water
C．a large quantity of ice was Mars D．Mars was much wetter than Earth
2、What do we know about Black Beauty?
A．It was discovered in Seattle in the USA．B．It is the biggest of 110 meteorites from Mars.
C．It landed on Earth after an asteroid crash. D．It has a history of 2.1 million years.
3、How did the scientists research Black Beauty?
A．By cutting it into pieces. B．By dipping it into water.
C．By burning it on a fire. D．By burying it into a desert.
4、The passage is mainly about .
A．a rock from the center of Mars. B．a major Martian meteorite discovery
C．a new discovery on the Red Planet D．a number of meteorites from Red Plane 23．（8分）You’re out to dinner. The food is delicious and the service is fine. You decide to leave a big fat tip. Why? The answer may not be as simple as you think.
Tipping, psychologists have found, is not just about service. Instead, studies have shown that tipping can be affected by psychological reactions to a series of different factors from the waiter’s c hoice of words, to how they carry themselves while taking orders, to the bill’s total. Even how much waiters remind customers of themselves can determine how much change they pocket by the end of the night.
“Studies before have shown that mimicry(模仿) brings into positive feelings for the mimicker,” wrote Rick van Baaren, a social psychology professor. “These studies show that people who are being mimicked become more generous toward the person who mimics them.”
So Rick van Baaren divided 59 waiters into two groups. He requested that half serve with a phrase such as. “ Coming up !” Those in the other hall were instructed to repeat the orders and preferences back to the customers. Rick van Baaren then compared their take-home pay. ’The results were clear—it pays to mimic your customer. The copycat(模仿者) waiters earned almost double the amount of tips to the other group.
Leonard Green and Joel Myerson, psychologists at Washington University in St. Louis, found the generosity of a tipper maybe limited by his bill. After research on
the1,000 tips left for waiters, cabdrivers, hair stylists, they found tip percentages in these three areas dropped as customers’ bills went up. In fact, tip percentages appear to plateau(稳定期) when bills topped $100 and a bill for $200 made the worker gain no bigger percentage tip than a bill for $100.
“That’s also a point of tipping,” Green says. “You have to give a little extra to the cabdriver for being there to pick you up and something to the waiter for being there to serve you. If th ey weren’t there, you’d never get any service. So part of the idea of a tip is for just being there.”
1、How many factors affect the customers’ tipping?
A．6.
B．5.
C．4.
D．3.
2、What do the studies show?
A．Mimicry brings into very bad feelings for the mimicker.
B．The waiter who mimics people usually gets less tip that they give.
C．The mimic waiters can get more money than those who don’t mimic others. D．Tipping can be affected by physical reactions to many different waiters.
3、What is the opinion of the author according to the passage?
A．He gives his generous tip to waiters very often.
B．He agrees with Mr Green and Rick van Baren about tipping.
C．He objects to Mr Green’s idea about tipping.
D．He thinks part of Mr Green’s explanation is reasonable.
4、What is the best title of this passage?
A．How Much to Tip
B．What Is Tip
C．Where to Leave a Big Fat Tip
D．Tipping Is Very Important
24．（8分）Growing up can sometimes seem like a roller coaster. There are ups and downs and unexpected turns. Abuse or neglect by adult can make the ride even rougher. But being bullied(欺凌) by another child can leave especially lasting scars. That's the finding of a new study.
Bullied kids face a high risk of mental health problems as teens and as young adults. Indeed bullied kids might be worse off than those who had suffered physical abuse or neglect, the study found.
Dieter Wolke works at the University of Warwick in England. Until recently, most studies of child victims focused not on bullying but on maltreatment, this psychologist says. Maltreatment includes physical or emotional abuse, neglect or other behaviors that can harm a child.
Wolke's team wanted to better understand how bullying's long-term effects compare to those due to maltreatment. They focused on 4,026 children in the United Kingdom and 1,420 more in the United States. Information about bullying and maltreatment was collected for American children to age 13.They collected the same information for British youth up to age 16. The researchers also gathered data on each individual's mental health as a young adult.
Among the Americans, 36 percent of bullied kids had mental problems later. Those problems included anxiety, which is a state of excessive worry. They also included depression. That is a feeling of hopelessness that can last a long time. Among kids who had been maltreated by adults, 17 percent later suffered mental health problems. That was less than half the rate seen in people who had been bullied as school kids.
In the U. K. group, the difference was less spectacular. Roughly 25 percent of the bullied kids reported mental health problems later, compared with about 17 percent
who had been maltreated.
But however you look at it, the finding are disturbing, Wolke says. They show that bullied children have similar or worse men tal health problems later in life. And that’s why he says schools, health services and other agencies must work together to end bullying.
1、According to the passage, which of the statements is TRUE?
A．Kids treated cruelly recover soon after they grow up.
B．All bullied kids have mental health problems.
C．Most kids with maltreatment experience tend to become violent adults.
D．Most studies didn’t pay much attention to bullying until recently.
2、How does the author support the theme of the text?
A．By providing research results. B．By stating arguments.
C．By explaining statistical data. D．By giving examples.
3、The underlined word “spectacular” in paragraph 6 could be best replaced by
_______.
A．slight B．dramatic
C．specific D．similar
4、According to the text, what does Wolke suggest doing?
A．Taking good care of children.
B．Joining hands to stop bullying.
C．Keeping psychologically healthy.
D．Comparing different types of abuse.
25．（10分）Parents whose children show a special interest in a sport feel very diff icult to make a decision about their children’s careers. Should they allow their children to train to become top sportsmen and sportswomen? For many children it means starting schoolwork very young. And going out with friends and other interests have to take a second place. It’s very difficult to explain to a young child why he or she has to train five hours a day, even at the weekend, when most of his or her friends are playing. Another problem is of course money, In many countries money for training is available from government for the very best young sportsmen and sportswomen. If this help can not be given, it means that it is the parents who have to find the time and the money to support their child’s development and sports clothes, transport to
competitions, special equipment, etc. All can be expensive.
Many parents are worried that it is dangerous to start serious training in a sport at an early age. Some doctors agree that young muscles may be damaged by training before they are properly developed. Professional trainers, however, believe that it is only by training when young that you can reach the top as successful sports person. It is clear that very few people do reach the top, and both parents and children should be prepared for failure even after many years of training.
1、Where can we most probably find this passage?
A．An advertisement. B．A diary. C．A newspaper. D．A notice board. 2、What does the underlined phrase “to take a second place” in the first paragraph mean?
A．To become less important. B．To put it at another place.
C．To happen again. D．They are the most important of all the things.
3、Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A．It’s easy to make a decision when your children want to take up sports.
B．Most of the students may become top sports men after a long period of training. C．Early training may damage young muscles.
D．It’s not very expensive for parents to support their children’s development in sports.第三部分语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．26．（30分）Off goes your alarm clock!
