Her desire to help others was awakened when she accompanied her Tunisian father to his hometown in the eastern part of Tunisia during vacations. During her time there, she organized homework clubs and activities for children. Toumi personally witnessed the negative effects of desertification (沙漠化). She realized that within 10 years, wealthy farmers had become worse off. Toumi was determined to stop the progression of the Sahara Desert. Due to a decrease in average rainfall and an increase in severe droughts (干旱), nearly 75% of Tunisia’s agricultural lands are currently at risk of desertification.Toumi understood the need for a change in farming practices. She firmly believed that even small plots of land could bring significant returns if farmers were willing to adapt. This adaptation involved planting sustainable crops, using advanced water treatment technologies, and using natural products and fertilizers (肥料) instead of chemical alternatives.In 2012, Toumi took a decisive step towards realizing her dream of fighting desertification. She moved to Tunisia and set up a program called Acacias for All, with the aim of putting her sustainable farming ideas into action. “I want to show young people in the countryside that they can create opportunities where they are. Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate change than somebody who is living without water.”By September 2016, over 130,000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms, with a survival rate of 60% reported by farmers. Toumi estimates that around 3 million acacia trees are required to protect Tunisia’s farmland. She plans to plant 1 million trees by 2018. In the coming years, Toumi aims to promote the program to Algeria and Morocco.4．How did Toumi’s holiday trips to Tunisia influence her?A．They made her decide to leave the country.B．They helped her better understand herfather.C．They destroyed her dream of being a teacher.D．They inspired her to take action to help others.5．What is the main cause of the desertification of Tunisia’s farmland?A．Cold weather.B．Soil pollution.C．Low rainfall.D．Forest damage. 6．Why did Toumi start Acacias for All in Tunisia?A．To ensure access to primary education for children.B．To promote the protection of agricultural land.C．To create job opportunities for young people.D．To persuade the farmers not to use fertilizers.7．Which of the following can best describe Toumi?A．Determined and helpful.B．Considerate and calm.C．Wealthy and academic.D．Thankful and flexible.Do you ever get restless if you haven’t checked your phone for a few minutes? If so, you’re not alone. Studies reveal that people these days check their phones once every four minutes on average! Some of this usage may be related to work. However, much of it is because many apps — particularly social media apps — use “clever techniques” to keep us coming back for more.One of such techniques is to push notifications. You’re getting on with your work or something else when — ping! — a notification pops up on your screen, informing you that a friend has posted something new or commented on your post. It may seem like a small interruption, but it often is enough to break your concentration and make you go back to your phone again.Another method is to make a game of the in-app experience by setting up a competitive goal element. Some apps, for example, uses streaks (连续纪录), which count the number of days you have used the app. If you keep a streak going, you might get a medal or some other rewards. Therefore, keeping one’s streak alive becomes a major reason to return to the app again and again.Once you’ve opened an app, its goal is now to get you continue using it. Messaging apps use a simple but effective trick to keep you engaged even when you’re not writing anything. Have you ever noticed that in some apps, three dots (…) appear to let you know your friend is typing areply? This trick is designed specifically to create your expectation or curiosity. You wonder what your friend is going to say. Well, you’ll have to keep waiting and see.While using social media apps is certainly fun, becoming addicted definitely isn’t. Now that you know some tricks used by these apps’ designers, you’ll be better equipped to reduce their influence and keep a healthier relationship with your phone.8．What does the underlined word “reveal” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A．Encourage.B．Predict.C．Prevent.D．Show.9．What is special about an app using streaks?A．Ongoing pings will inform you of new posts.B．Competitive games will greatly discourage you.C．Everyday use of the app might earn you a medal.D．Appearance of three dots might disturb your typing.10．There are “clever techniques” mentioned in the passage.A．two B．three C．four D．five11．What is the best title for the text?A．The Tricks That Keep You Glued to Your Phone.B．Can People Break Their Addition to Games?C．Could Technology Further Improve Phones?D．The Social Media Apps That Waste Your Time.A new study reveals that trees can communicate and warn each other of danger. “For the first time, researchers have been able to visualize plant-to-plant communication,” said Masatsugu, senior author of the study.The idea of talking trees started to take root in the 1980s. Two scientists found that damaged trees began producing chemicals that made their leaves unappetizing and indigestible to discourage insects. The trees then sent chemical signals to one another through the air. Over the past four decades, scientists have observed this cell-to-cell communication in more than 30 plant species.Past research shows plants communicate with their surroundings by releasing chemicals known as volatile (易挥发的) organic compounds. One class of these compounds are releasedwhen a plant is injured: green leafy volatiles. These are released by, as the name suggests, pretty much every green plant with leaves, and are produced when a plant experiences physical damage. An example of these compounds is the smell released from fresh-cut grass.In the new study, Masatsugu and his colleagues manually damaged leaves and placed insects on tomato plants to trigger the release of various green leafy volatiles. After testing many of them, the team found it seemed to increase calcium ions (钙离子) inside cells. The calcium signaling is like a switch to turn on the defense responses from the plants.With this new understanding, researchers say plants could be immunized against threats and stressors before they even happen. For instance, exposing healthy plants to insect-ridden plants or the associated green leafy volatiles could boost their genetic defenses, so farmers use less pesticides. The revelation could also help make plants more resilient (有复原力的) during a drought, signaling the plants to conserve more water.12．What does the new research find?A．Trees can inform other trees of potential threats.B．Trees can make themselvesattractive.C．Trees will send signals first once damaged.D．Trees will work together to trick insects. 13．What can be learnt about green leafy volatiles?A．They defend insects.B．They kill insects.C．Some of them can be smelt.D．Some of them can be seen.14．How was the study carried out by Masatsugu?A．By protecting trees from insects.B．By classifying green leafy volatiles.C．By increasing calcium ions inside cells.D．By causing the release of certain chemicals. 15．What aspect of the new study does the last paragraph focus on?A．Its target.B．Its process.C．Its application.D．Its background.How to Improve Vocabulary FastYour vocabulary refers to the words in a language you are familiar with. We should learn some ways to expand it.Read every day. 16 Choose reading material that is slightly above your level and keep a dictionary with you to look up words you do not know.17 If you do not meet with an unfamiliar word in your daily reading, use your dictionary to search for one.Learn the correct definition and pronunciation for each new word. Pronunciation is as important as definition because in order to add a word to your active vocabulary, you must be able to use it in speech.Elaborate (阐释)on the meaning of the word. Use imagery and personal relevance. If you have just learned the word “stubborn”, think about the neighbor who will not lend you his car.18Use your new word in speech and in writing. E-mail your sister about how your cat is stubborn about sleeping on your pillow. 19 But the more you use it, the more fluent you will become in its use. Soon it will be a regular part of your active vocabulary.Tell everyone you are trying to increase your vocabulary. Encourage them to ask you what your latest word is. 20 The more you explain the meaning of a word to someone, the more likely you are to remember it.A．Find a new word every day.B．The vocabulary can be increased.C．Your vocabulary contains the words you understand.D．The more often you read, the faster your vocabulary can grow.E．Or let them ask for the definition of a new word you have used.F．The first time you use a new word in speech, it may seem clumsy and forced.G．Imagine him shaking his head, and think of him as “stubborn in his refusal”.二、完形填空When things around the house stop working, people probably just throw them away. There are many 21 for this trend. In some areas, it’s difficult to find people who can make repairs, and 22 things can be expensive. Also, some small appliances are so cheap that it’s easier to 23 buy a new one.Martine Postma decided there must be a better way. Her 24 was Repair Cafés: places where people can take damaged or torn items. There they will find tools, 25 andvolunteer experts to help with repairs.Postma’s first Repair Café opened in 2009 and was a huge 26 . News of the café spread, and people began asking how they could 27 their own. In 2011, Postma established the Repair Café Foundation. This 28 organization provides guidance to those hoping to begin their own neighborhood repair group. Today, there are roughly 2,000 Repair cafés around the world. Everything is free, but donations are greatly 29 .The cafés not only provide help with repairs, they also 30 community ties. Postma has often heard visitors say, “This is the kind of world I want to 31 !” In addition, valuable 32 is passed along and preserved.In an interview, Postma described how 33 it is watching people who really want to help one another. Postma summed up the 34 of Repair Cafés best in the following words: “Everyone is a/an 35 and a receiver.”21．A．benefits B．chances C．reasons D．goals 22．A．throwing B．buying C．making D．fixing 23．A．just B．even C．ever D．seldom 24．A．achievement B．solution C．curiosity D．result 25．A．resources B．money C．chances D．rooms 26．A．luck B．fame C．success D．attempt 27．A．buy B．start C．make D．find 28．A．nonprofit B．business C．culture D．chain 29．A．responded B．suggested C．appreciated D．refused 30．A．test B．strengthen C．build D．earn 31．A．praise B．pass by C．live in D．discover 32．A．knowledge B．lesson C．habit D．instruction 33．A．exciting B．tiring C．surprising D．embarrassing 34．A．custom B．mission C．journey D．experience 35．A．host B．owner C．organizer D．giver三、语法填空阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

He was asleep on the front seat of their truck, with his feet resting on her lap. As his mom drove carefully down the winding country road, she turned onto a narrow bridge. The truck hit a rock and slid off the road. She attempted to bring it back up onto the road by pressing hard on the gas pedal(踏板)and turning the steering wheel to the left. But Rocky's foot got caught between her leg and the steering wheel and she lost control of the truck.The truck fell into a 20-foot ravine(峡谷). When it hit the bottom,Rocky woke up. “What happened, Mom?”he asked. “Our wheels are pointing toward the sky.”Kelly was seriously wounded and blinded by blood. “I’ll get you out, Mom, ” announced Rocky, who had surprisingly escaped injury. He climbed out from under Kelly, slid through the open window and tried to yank his mother out. But she didn’t move.“Just let me sleep,” begged Kelly,who was out of consciousness(意识). Rocky insisted,“Mom, you can’t go to sleep.”Rocky managed to push Kelly out of the truck and told her he’d climb up to the road and stop a car to get help. Fearing that no one would be able to see her little boy in the dark, Kelly refused to let him go alone. Instead they slowly moved up to the road. The pain was so great that Kelly wanted to give up, but Rocky wouldn’t let her.Rocky kept repeating the inspirational phrase, “I know you can. I know you can.” When they finally reached the road, Rocky broke into tears seeing his mother’s torn face clearly forthe first time. Waving his arms and shouting, “Please stop!” the boy stopped a truck. His mother was sent to hospital.It took eight hours to rebuild Kelly’s face. She looks quite different today-she has a few scars but has recovered from her injuries.Rocky’s heroics were big news. Everyone was surprised at this little boy’s power. “It’s not like I wanted it to happen,” the boy explained. “I just did what anyone would have done.” “If it weren’t for Rocky, I’d have died,” said his mother.4．What do we know about Rocky and Kelly?A．They were lost on a country road.B．They were involved in a truck accident.C．They had limited time to find their way.D．They knew little of what happened to them.5．What had happened when Rocky woke up?A．The truck had turned over.B．He couldn’t find his mother.C．He had been stuck in the truck.D．His mother had passed out.6．What does the underlined word “yank” in paragraph 3 most probably mean?A．Pull.B．Drive.C．Follow.D．Carry.7．Which of the following words can best describe Rocky?A．Enthusiastic and kind.B．Courageous and calm.C．Cooperative and generousD．Adventurous and energetic.British programmer Joshua Browder is helping people save much money on legal fees with his latest project-the world’s first robot lawyer. The 19-year-old first started the project last summer as a free website to help people appeal unfair parking tickets. He came up with the idea after getting a series of tickets himself for unimportant reasons. Having wasted hours writing appeals to these tickets, he realized that many people have no time or legal knowledge to appeal So he decided to create a robot lawyer, which he named DoNotPay.DoNotPay was a success, and the tech genius has gone a step further with the website. converting(转变)it into a robot lawyer equipped to help with various legal issues. “The robot can handle parking ticket appeals and delayed flights/ trains. It can also answer some general legal questions like ‘ I can’t afford my ticket. What do I do?’” said Browder.To use the service, users need to go to the website and sign up for free. Once signed in, the robot will ask the user questions about their situation. When it has collected enough information, and if the person has legal grounds for an appeal, the robot will create a letter for the person to use.Browder said he received good advice from his professors at Stanford University. “Initially, I thought the best way to go about it was to create many individual rules for it to follow,” he explained. “However, I quickly failed with this approach because there are thousands of ways to say the same thing and it would be impossible to catch everyone. The breakthrough came when I learned how to create a way for the robot to learn and compare phrases itself, so that it doesn’t matter how the user phrases his or her requests.”So he programmed the robot to use text comparison that includes keywords, word order and pronouns. And the more people use the robot,the better the algorithm(演算法)gets. But here’re situations where the robot can’t help.” If the robot can’t answer, it provides helpful massage offering the user some sample phrases or the choice of contacting me directly,”Browder said. “On the backend, whenever the robot can’t answer, I get noticed and work as quickly as possible to add functions for any future requests of a similar nature.”“I think it does a reasonable job of replacing parking lawyers,” Browder told Tech Insider. “I know there are thousands of programmers with more experience than me working on similar issues. If it is one day possible for any citizen to get the same standard of legal representation as a billionaire, how can that not be a good thing?”8．What made Joshua Browder decide to develop the robot lawyer?A．His interest in law and robot.B．Being often fined for serious reasons.C．Realizing people’s need to write appeals.D．A waste of much money in appealing.9．What can the robot lawyer do at present?A．Deal with some common legal issues.B．Create a computer program to serve its users.C．Recommend some useful legal websites to users.D．Teach the users to write a letter of appeal.10．What did Browder’s professors advise him to do about his robot?A．Store enough legal knowledge in it.B．Teach it to communicate with its users.C．Create enough individual rules for it to follow.D．Enable it to learn and compare phrases on its own.11．What is Browder’s attitude to the world’s first robot lawyer?A．Unclear.B．Cautious.C．Proud.D．Negative.When you go to the desert with David Strayer, a cognitive psychologist, don’t be surprised if he sticks electrodes to your head.On the third day of a camping trip in Utah, Strayer explains the “three-day effect” to 22 psychology students. Our brains, he says, aren’t tireless machines; they are easily tired by our fast-paced, increasingly digital lives. But when we slow down, stop the busywork, and seek out natural surroundings, we not only feel refreshed but also improve our mental performance. Strayer has demonstrated as much with a group of participants, who scored 50 percent higher on creative problem-solving tasks after three days of wilderness backpacking.Strayer’s hypothesis is that being in nature allows the prefrontal cortex, the brain’s command center, to rest and recover, like an overused muscle. Strayer has his students put my head into a sort of bathing cap with 12 electrodes in it. Wires from them will send my brain’s electrical signals to a recorder for analysis. Then I walk carefully to a grassy bank along the San Juan River, where I’m supposed to think of nothing in particular, just watch the wide water flow by. I haven’t looked at a computer or cell phone in days, and it’s easy to forget for a few moments that I ever had them.A few months after our Utah trip, Strayer’s team sends me the results of my test, which shows my brain waves at a range of frequencies and confirms that the gentle beauty of the San Juan River succeeded in quieting my prefrontal cortex.So far the other research subjects’ results also confirm Strayer’s hypothesis. But no study can offer a full explanation of the brain-on-nature experience; something mysterious will always remain, Strayer says, and perhaps that’s as it should be. “At the end of the day,” hesays, “we come out in nature not because science says it does something to us but because of how it makes us feel.”12．Why do Strayer and his students go to the desert?A．To relax themselves.B．To conduct a study.C．To learn about the desert.D．To experience life without digital products.13．What is the third paragraph mainly about?A．Findings of Strayer’s research.B．Reason for Strayer’s research. C．Method for Strayer’s research.D．Purpose of Strayer’s research. 14．What do we know about Strayer’s hypothesis?A．There is no convincing evidence for it.B．No researchers show interest in it. C．It has proved false.D．A full explanation is needed for it. 15．What is the best title for the text?A．Enjoy Yourself in Nature.B．My Unique Experience in the Desert. C．How Does Nature Inspire Creativity.D．Is Nature Your Brain’s Powerful Medicine.二、七选五Sometimes you just want to get away. Your older brother and his friends are constantly amped in front of the TV, your baby sister won’t stay out of your room, and you want some time for yourself.But when you get it-maybe at a friend’s house for an all-weekend DVD marathon or on spring break at Disney World-you’re surprised to find yourself missing the chaos at home a bit.What’s that all about?____16____When you’re homesick, you might feel nostalgic (怀念的) for familiar things like your family, friends, pets, house, or neighborhood. Homesickness isn’t only for kids.____17____ Teens might get homesick when they leave home for the first extended period of time, like during a vacation with a friend’s family.Familiar surroundings, people, and routines provide people with a sense of security and comfort.____18____ Those homesick feelings are completely normal.____19____ Others may feel physical symptoms, like stomachache or headache, or even become truly depressed. Most of the time, once the new surroundings and people become more familiar, feelings of homesickness go away. If you have additional stress in your life -like a divorce or a death in the family - homesickness can be more intense.Almost everyone has felt homesick at some time.____20____ It means you have family and friends worth missing and a place you want to return to when your adventure away from home is over.A．Practically everyone feels homesick from time to time, even adults.B．In a new place, you may find yourself missing the comforts of home and loved ones. C．Believe it or not, you’re feeling homesick.D．Remember that there’s a good side to homesickness, too.E．Luckily, homesickness is usually mild and doesn’t last long.F．Some people may only feel a little loneliness, sadness, or anxiety.G．And you can do some things to make sure it doesn’t spoil your fun.三、完形填空The story happened when Hurricane Ida swept New Jersey.

We put them in a small cowshed at night, and that’s when the trouble would start. Lions would jump in the shed and kill the cows.”Lions are the top tourist attraction of Kenya, especially in the Nairobi National Park, which is near where Richard lives. Lions are also considered critically endangered in Kenya. Except for poaching (偷猎) and climate change, one of the main causes for the decline of the lion population, “is that farmers kill them, an eye-for-eye fight against lions attacking their livestock (牲畜),” says Paula Kahumbu, executive director of a wildlife preservation organization in Africa. She has been studying the conflict between humans and lions for years, and her work led her to Richard.One night Richard was walking around with a flashlight and discovered the lions were scared of a moving light. A light bulb went on inside his head and an idea was born. Three weeks later, Richard invented a system of lights, mimicking (模仿) a human walking around with a flashlight. His system is made from broken flashlight parts and an indicator box from a motorcycle. “The only thing I bought was a solar panel, which supplies power to the lights at night,” says Richard. He calls the system Lion Lights.“There have been a lot of efforts to try to protect the lions,” says Paula. “It’s a crisis and everyone is looking for a solution. One idea was land renting, another was lion-proof fences. And basically no one even knew that Richard had already come up with something that worked.”Richard’s solution was very successful. His neighbors heard about it and wanted Lion Lights, too. He installed (安装) the lights for them and for six other homes in his community. From there, the lights spread and are now being used all around Kenya. Someone in South Africa is trying them out for tigers. In Zambia and Tanzania they’re being used, as well. 4．Why do Kenyan farmers kill lions?A．To sell them to poachers for money.B．To use their bodies as a tourist attraction. C．To protect the livestock from being eaten.D．To stop them from worsening climate change.5．What is special about Lion Lights?A．It has multiple power sources.B．It is made from second-hand items. C．It mimics electric lion-proof fences.D．It uses light to frighten lions away. 6．What might the locals think of Lion Lights?A．It is a simple and effective solution.B．It helps them rent their land quickly. C．Its application should be expanded.D．Its installation needs improving. 7．What is the text about?A．A Kenyan teen’s invention.B．The benefits of modern technology. C．The conflicts between humans and lions.D．The decline of the Kenyan lion population.Meet Jill Watson, a first-time teaching assistant at Georgia Tech assigned to host an online forum（论坛）for a computer science class. Jill was 1 of 9 teachers assigned to help answer questions about coursework and projects from the 300 students in the advanced course.“The world is full of online classes, and they’re troubled with low retention（保留）rates,” said Professor Ashok Goel, head of Georgia Tech’s online program. “One of the main reasons many students drop out is because they don’t receive enough feedback（反馈）from the teachers.”Now a typical class posts approximately 10, 000 messages in a given semester. During the first few weeks in January, Jill really struggled. After all, this is a course with the goal of building AI agents. Even though many of these questions were routine, the other teachers monitored Jill’s answers until they saw improvement. Eventually, Jill got her bearings. By the end of March, she was freely responding to students’ questions.However, near the end of April, Professor Goel had to come clean to the students: Jill was in fact software powered by IBM Watson. Because of how well Jill performed her tasks, Goel plans on bringing her back next semester under a different name with the goal of accurately answering 40 percent of all questions by the end of the year.How did students respond to the news that they had an AI among them? “It seemed very much like a normal conversation with a human being, and my questions got answered quickly, ”said student Jennifer Gavin. However, this is likely not how the general public would react. In a recent online survey, nearly 80 percent of participants opposed imparting（赋予）AI with emotions or personality. Additionally, 60 percent felt that AI would lead to fewer jobs in a decade’s time, with 27 percent indicating that decline would be significant.Watson is demonstrating in the case of Jill Watson, no teachers lost their jobs. But if the AI can handle 40 percent of students’ inquiries, will they really need 8 humans in years ahead?8．What causes many online classes to get low retention rates according to Goel?A．Too advanced courses.B．Unqualified teaching assistants.C．A lack of after-class teaching support.D．A lack of an online forum for students’ discussion.9．What does the underlined part “Jill got her bearings” in paragraph 3 mean?A．Jill won the students’ approval.B．Jill became confident about her work.C．Jill passed the course of building AI agents.D．Jill received assistance from other teachers.10．What is most surveyed participants’ attitude to Georgia Tech’s Watson program? A．Optimistic.B．Defensive.C．Disapproving.D．Casual. 11．What does the author say about Jill in the last paragraph?A．She will cause some job losses.B．She will be given some teaching tasks.C．She will handle fewer students’ inquiries.D．She will be rid of emotions and personality2021 already promises to be a dream year for greener driving news. Five establishedautomobile brands have recently announced transitions (转型) to electric-only vehicles in the coming years. And the good news is that they’re committing themselves to actual deadlines.On February 15, 2021, Jaguar Land Rover announced that all cars made under the Jaguar brand will be fully electric by 2025, with Land Rover following in its footsteps a few years later. Ford has committed to 2030 for vehicles made in Europe, the same year that Bentley has decided all its vehicles will be electric ones. Meanwhile, largest US automaker, General Motors, promises an all-electric lineup (阵容) by 2035.But for many drivers and car fans, the news that iconic luxury brand, Jaguar, has made fuel-guzzling vehicles for generations but is now set to lead with a complete zero-emission range the soonest, is remarkable.In February, Jaguar’s new CEO, Thierry Bolloré, presented the brand’s Electric Vehicles (EV) strategy, charting the course that Jaguar and its sister company Land Rover, will take in the next ten years as they make the transition to zero-emission vehicles. “Environmental innovation is at the heart of our vision as we continue to develop a range of solutions to reduce our carbon footprint and impact. We have demonstrated this commitment with new electric models from Jaguar’s past, present and future,” he said.More car brands are expected to follow their lead. This industry-wide acceleration towards emission-free vehicles is significant. While electric vehicles are the fastest growing part in the car industry, they still make up just three percent of the total of new car sales according to the International Energy Agency. However, these ambitious goals from luxury brands as well as producers of more affordable cars indicate that the automobile industry is headed for a positive sea change very soon!12．What can we learn from Jaguar Land Rover’s announcement?A．The idea of electric vehicles is first put forward by Jaguar.B．All cars of Land Rover brand will be fully electric by 2025.C．Jaguar will only produce electric vehicles a few years later.D．Electric-powered vehicles are the trend of the automobile industry.13．How do many drivers and car fans feel when they hear the news of Jaguar? A．Amazing.B．Doubtful.C．Indifferent.D．Disappointed.14．What’s the purpose of the fourth paragraph?A．To present the contribution of Jaguar’s CEO.B．To explain the reason for Jaguar’s new strategy.C．To prove the position of Jaguar in the car industry.D．To show the approach to reducing carbon footprint.15．What could be the best title for the text?A．The Leading Role of Jaguar in the Car MarketB．The Transition of Jaguar to Electric VehiclesC．The New Breakthrough in Environmental ProtectionD．The Role of Transmission-free Cars in Automobile Industry二、七选五The Sahara DesertLocationFilling nearly all of northern Africa, the Sahara Desert measures approximately 3, 000 miles from east to west and between 800 and 1, 200 miles from north to south. ____16____ The Sahara Desert is bordered in the west by the Atlantic Ocean, in the north by the Atlas Mountains and the Mediterranean Sea, in the east by the Red Sea, and in the south by the Sahel.LandscapeThe Sahara Desert features iconic sand dune (沙丘) fields, which cover about 15 percent of the entire desert’s surface and lie primarily in the north-central region. ____17____ A few examples include crescent (新月形的) dunes, linear dunes, transverse dunes and star dunes. These dunes, with their various forms, raise many questions about the dynamics of their formation.Water____18____ Its age-old rivers are the Nile and the Niger. The Nile rises south of the Sahara and empties into the Mediterranean. The Niger rises southwest of the Sahara and flows northeastward into Mali. ____19____ It is the expansive but shallow Lake Chad, a body of water that lies at the southernmost edge of the Sahara. Other lakes hold a salty stew of undrinkable water.ClimateAcross the Sahara Desert, the annual average rainfall equals no more than a few inchesor fewer. In the summer, daytime air temperatures often soar to over 100 degrees Fahrenheit, with the hottest air temperature meteorologists have ever recorded — 136 degrees — occurring at EL Azizia, Libya, on September 13, 1922. ____20____ In the winter, freezing temperatures may occur in the northern Sahara Desert, and milder temperatures across the southern Sahara Desert. Snow may fall occasionally in some of the higher mountain ranges and rarely, on the desert floor.A．No rain at all may fall for several more years.B．It has a total area of some 3,320,000 square miles.C．The dunes usually take on varied and complex forms.D．Star dunes form under winds that blow from several directions.E．The Sahara Desert has some lakes, but only one with drinkable water.F．The Sahara Desert has only two permanent rivers and a handful of lakes.G．Under the clear skies, the temperature may fall 40 degrees or more during an evening.三、完形填空_____33_____ pain when I do art,” she says.Cat is just one of thousands of patients to have been _____34_____ by AIM at Shands.

I was hungry so I put the bag of apples 32 me and started to eat one. 33 I saw the cars in front of me start to 34 from side to side. Then my car started to shake! I didn’t know what was happening.

His family were very poor farmers, and there was never enough to eat. Frank decided he did not want to be farmer. He took a short business course, and went to work as a salesman in a large city.Woolworth realized he had a natural skill for showing goods to attract people’s interest, but he soon learned something more important. One day his boss told him to sell some odds and ends (小商品) for as much as he could get. Frank put all these things on one table with a sign which said five cents each. People fought and pushed to buy the things and the table was soon cleared.Soon afterwards, Woolworth opened his own store., selling goods at five and ten cents. But he had another lesson to learn before he became successful. That is, if you want to make money by selling low-price goods, you have to buy them in large quantities directly from the factories. Once, for example, Woolworth went to Germany and placed an order for knives. The order was so large that the factory had to keep running 24 hours a day for a whole year. In this way, the price of the knives was cut down by half.By 1919, Woolworth had over 1000 stores in the US and Canada, and opened his first store in London. He made many millions and his name became famous throughout the world. He always run his business according to strict rules, of which the most important was: “ The customer is always right.”46 Frank took a short business course in order to ____________.A. earn more money for his familyB. learn something from a salesmanC. get away from the farmD. get enough to eat.47 The price of the knives was cut down by half because ______________.A. the factory workers worked 24 hours a day.B. knives were ordered in large quantities directly from the factory.C. the knives were made in Germany, where labour (劳动力) was cheap.D. the knives were produced in one factory.48 _____________ make Woolworth a world-famous man.A. His business skills and his wealth.B. The low price of the goods he sold.C. His trip to Germany and his huge order of knives.D. His natural skill for showing things.49 The belief that : “ The customer is always right” suggests that _______________.A. whenever there is a quarrel between the customer and shop assistant, the customers arealways right.B. If you want to succeed, the rule is the only way.C. stores must always follow the customer’s orders if they want to make more money.D. stores should do their best to meet the customer’s needs if they want to be successful.B．There are many ways to find a job. It can be as easy as walking into a neighborhood store to look at its announcement board. Local stores often have areas where people can put small signs telling what kind of service they need or can provide. Such services include caring for children or cleaning houses.Or, job searchers can look in the newspaper. Local newspapers have employment announcements placed by companies seeking workers.Another popular tool for finding jobs is the Internet. For example, people in four hundred and fifty cities around the world can use the Craigslist Web site to buy objects, meet people or find a job. Craigslist says that it receives two million new job listings each month.Another useful way to find a job is through a college or university. For example, students at the University of Texas in Austin can go to the Career Exploration Center to get help in finding a job. Of course, looking for a job requires knowing what kind of work you want to do. For example, there is a book called “What Color is Your Parachute (降落伞)?” by Richard Bolles. This book has been helping people choose a career (职业) since it was first published in nineteen seventy.Some experts also help people find jobs. Susan W. Miller owns a company called California Career Services in Los Angeles. She says her company helps people find jobs by first helping them understand their strengths, goals and interests. Then she provides them with methods and resources to help them find the right job.50 What is the passage mainly about?A. Finding a job.B. College students’ part-time jobs.C. Craigslist Web site.D. The relation between study and work.51 “What Color is Your Parachute?” is a book which gives tips to those who want to _____.A. work on the airplaneB. buy a parachuteC. publish a bookD. find a suitable job52 It can be learned from the passage that ______.A. companies often put job information in local shopsB. the Internet is the most popular tool for job hunters in the USAC. Susan W. Miller’s company is helping people choose careersD. California Career Services mainly serves university students53 How many ways of finding a job are mentioned in the passage?A. Three.B. Four.C. Five.D. Six.CLanguage is always changing. In a society where life continues year after year with few changes, the language does not change either. The earliest known languages had difficult grammarbut a small, limited vocabulary. Over the century, the grammar changed, and the vocabulary grew. For example, the English and Spanish people who came to America during the sixteenth century gave names to all the new plants and animals they found. In this way, hundreds of new words were introduced into English and Spanish vocabularies. Today life is changing very fast, and language is changing fast too.There are several major language families in the world. Some scientists say there are nine main families, but other scientists divide them differently. The languages in each family are connected, and scientists think that they came from the same parent language. About 3 percent of the people in the world speak languages that are not in these major families.54 The early language had ________.A. a lot of problemsB. words and easy grammarC. words but no grammarD. grammar but not many words55 In the next few hundred years we can expect language to _____.A. stay exactly the sameB. change a great dealC. change only a littleD. ask more words and drop some grammar56 What this article shows is that _____.A. languages change fastB. languages really don't want to changenguage really with changes in societyD.Spanish and English changeDCoolest Hotels in the WorldArtau Aragon TowersThe Ariau Amazon Towers hotel lets you sleep in a tree house.

He was the first student on in the morning, as we were farthest from school, and the last student off in the evening. I was a teacher myself and it was a comfort to realize the school staff(职员) were all working as hard as I was to provide a safe learning environment.One day I came home from work and waited for my son to get home for a long time. Then I called the school, “Perhaps he’s just a bit late,” said the secretary. “I will call the driver to see if those children are home.” A few minutes later, I answered the phone to hear that the other students were home. Then I called his friends’ parents, to see if perhaps he had gotten off at their stop to play. The answers were all “No.”By that time, it was dark and I was scared. My home was in the mountain areas, and it was said that a wolf had come up somewhere. My husband wasn’t at home, so I forced myself to calm down and decided to go out to look for him. I was about to go out when the telephone rang; it was from the driver. “He’s okay,” I heard. He was asleep on the seats in the back, under a couple of jackets. Since it’s dark, can he spend the night with my family?”I was relieved and agreed. Since my son had a great adventure, the school started giving out a copy of the list to the driver, so he could check off the children’s names when they got off thebus. I think highly of the school for taking the cautionary(警戒的) step ahead; it is a sign of their concern for students, parents, and staff.31.

The author wrote the text to______________A. praise the school for its quick actionB. thank the bus driver for his kindnessC. complain about the secretary of the schoolD. show her concern for kids safetyCThe village of Foston, North Yorkshire, UK, now has a post office thanks to pupils at the village primary school.People in the village were saddened to see their local branch (分局) closed 12 years ago.But now the village primary school has opened one in a converted(改造过的) outdoor toilet, a small brick building, with all the pupils at the school trained to help.Teaching assistant Laura Glass, 29, said, “ The last one closed in the 1998 and the nearest one is five miles away, meaning it was very tricky as the village has a lot of elderly people, and we suggested that the old toilet be used.“ We got a lot of help from the government and the villages in converting it. We then realizes that by getting pupils to run it, we could help teach them important skills at the same time.“ The children will be properly supervised(察看并指导). They love it and it gives them key skills, and the villagers love it because it is such a unique service.”The post office opens daily during the pupils’ schooldays, for 15 minutes during their lunch break, and for another 15 minutes after lessons at 3 p.m.Villager LAAURA Deighton’s five-year-old daughter Grace goes to the school and has been serving customers at the unusual branch.Laura, 31, said, “Grace thinks it’s wonderful and great fun, and she and all the kids learnreally useful social skills.“It is also a great benefit to the community.
