One morning more than thirty years ago, I entered the Track Kitchen, a restaurant where everyone from the poor to the most powerful came for breakfast． I noticed an empty chair next to an elder, short man, whose hair was disorder． He was wearing an old hat and was alone． I asked if I might join him． He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast．We carefully began a conversation and spoke about a lot of things． We never introduced ourselves． I thought that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat． So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee． I asked, "May Iget you something? ""A coffee would be nice．"Then I bought him a cup of coffee, we talked more, and he accepted another cup of coffee． Finally, I rose to leave, wished him well, and went to the exit． At the door I met one of my friends． He asked,"How did you get to know Mr． Galbreath? ""Who? ""The man you were sitting with． He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs．"I could hardly believe it． I was talking, buying coffee, offering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one of the world's richest and most powerful men!My few minutes with Mr． Galbreath changed my life． Now I try to treat everyone with respect, no matter who I think they are, and to meet another human being with kindness and sincerity．（1）What does the underlined word in Paragraph 1 "disorder" mean？________A unfriendly．B untidy．C gentle．D kind．（2）The author bought coffee for the old man because________．A he thought the old man was poor．B he wanted to start a conversation．C he wanted to show his politeness．D he would like to thank the old man．（3）How did the author probably feel after he talked with his friend？________A Proud．B Excited．C Surprised．D Angry．（4）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？________A The writer entered the restaurant to have lunch．B The old man was one of the world's richest and most powerful men．C The writer and the old man introduced themselves．D The old man had no money and couldn't afford something to eat．（5）What is the best title for the passage？________A To see is to believe．B Success doesn't come easy．C A wise head makes a close mouth．D Don't judge a person by his appearance．4. It was on her 14th birthday that her first book, In the Forests of the Night, was put into publication （出版）． At 16, her second book, Demon in My View, also reached the bookstore． Several books later, the teenage writer still works away in her room, in which were shelves full of dark stories about vampires （吸血鬼）and witches （巫婆）． Amelia Atwater﹣Rhodes is seen as America's finest teen writer and was named one of Teen People's "20Teens Who will Change the World"．Born in 1984, she began making up stories when she was three years old． Amelia said: ________In her family, reading was great fun． "My parents encouraged me to read and to read anything I wanted, so long as I was reading, " she said． "They never stop what I read and never make me read the books I don't enjoy． Later, when I started writing, they never told me that I was ‘too young to do that'． They never said it was impossible for me to get what Iwant． "In her short but successful career, Amelia has tried different stories． But vampires were the first characters to really come alive in her work． From then on, she has developed a whole world, one which she always enjoys learning more about．Amelia's advice to the teen writers is: just do it! "I believe anything is possible． Don't give up on your dreams． Getting a book published is difficult but if I can do it, others can do it too． "（1）When can readers find the book， Demon in My View， in the bookstore？________A In 1984．B In 1987．C In 1998．D In 2000．（2）Why did Amelia begin to write stories？________A Her parents told her to do so．B She was a born writer．C She wanted to get the name "20Teens Who will Change the World"．D She wanted to start a successful career．（3）Why are the shelves of books in her room important in her life？________A She needs books to fill her room．B She liked to copy these wonderfulbooks． C Books can give her new ideas for her own stories． D Books are interesting and enjoyable．（4）Which is the meaning of the underlined sentence？________A I love stories but don't have enough stories to write down．B I write stories and tell my stories to other people．C I write my own stories before I learn how to do it in school．D I wrote my stories first， my parents told me to do it second．（5）Which is Amelia's parents' attitude （态度）？________A They are at her back and help her a lot．B They encourage her and help her write some stories．C They buy enough books for her and read these books forher． D They never tell her that she is too young to read．5. The baby is just one day old and has not left hospital yet． She is quiet but alert（警觉）． The researchers have placed a white card with two black spots on it twenty centimeters from her face． She stares at it carefully．A researcher removes the card and replaces it by another one, this time with the spots differently spaced． As the cards change from one to the other, her gaze（凝视）starts to lose its focus until a third card is presented． The third card has three black spots onit． Her gaze returns: she looks at ________ for twice as long as she did at the previous card． Can she tell that the number two is different from three, just 24 hours after coming into the world? Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer?The same experiment, but with three spots shown before two, shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes． Perhaps it is just the newness? When a little older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects （a comb, a key, an orange and so on）, changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves． Could it be the pattern that two things make, as opposed to three?

AInside the Rain RoomThe Rain Room has arrived and local art lovers are taking notice. Is it worth the wait? Yes, I assure you it is. Once inside, visitors find a long, dark room with a high ceiling. A single bright light shines through heavy rain falling around visitors. The mist. The damp air. The noise. It feels like a mighty storm is pouring down. But the storm is inside. And visitors aren’t getting wet. Instead, visitors wander in awe, admiring the rain and the artists who created it.The Rain Room was created to highlight the connection between humans, nature and technology. With a tracking system that senses movement and stops the rain wherever visitors move, it does just that. Light and sound produce an experience that feels both natural and foreign. The exhibit is moving onto Atlanta next month. I urge you to visit before then. It’s time to experience the Rain Room for yourself!Welcome to the Rain RoomThe Rain Room features falling water. Please be aware you may get slightly wet. However, visitors wearing raincoats will be turned away.This exhibit features advanced technology. To ensure its effectiveness, please avoid wearing dark or reflective clothing.Visitors are welcome to take photographs of the exhibit.Children must be accompanied by an adult.For the convenience of all guests, visits are limited to 10 minutes.21. What's the purpose of the text?A. To attract visitors to a new art exhibit.B. To explain how an exhibit has been created.C. To describe the technology used in the exhibit.D. To promote the artists taking part in an exhibit.22. What’s the function of the exhibit’s tracking system?A. To keep visitors from getting wet.B. To protect the exhibit from water damage.C. To time how long visitors are in the room.D. To count the number of visitors in the room.23. What must you do when visiting the Rain Room?A. Wear a raincoat.B. Wear dark clothing.C. Leave your camera outside.D. Pass through within 10 minutes.BDujiangyan is the oldest man-made water system in the world, and a wonder in the development of Chinese science. Built over 2, 200 years ago in what is now Sichuan Province in Southwest China, this amazing engineering achievement is still used today to irrigate over 6, 000 square kilometres of farmland, take away floodwater and provide water for 50 cities in the province.In ancient times, the region in which Dujiangyan now stands suffered from regular floods caused by overflow from the Minjiang River. To help the victims of the flooding, Li Bing, the region’s governor, together with his son, decided to find a solution. They studied the problem and discovered that the river most often overflowed when winter snow at the top of the nearby Mount Yulei began to melt as the weather warmed.The simplest fix was to build a dam, but this would have ruined the MinjiangRiver. So instead Li designed a series of channels built at different levels along Mount Yulei that would take away the floodwater while leaving the river flowing naturally. Better still, the extra water could be directed to the dry Chengdu Plain, making it suitable for farming.Cutting the channels through the hard rock of Mount Yulei was a remarkable accomplishment as it was done long before the invention of gunpowder and explosives. Li Bing found another solution. He used a combination of fire and water to heat and cool the rocks until they cracked and could be removed. After eight years of work, the 20-metre-wide canals had been carved through the mountain.Once the system was finished, no more floods occurred and the people were able to live peacefully and affluently. Today, Dujiangyan is admired by scientists from around the world because of one feature. Unlike modern dams where the water is blocked with a huge wall, Dujiangyan still lets water flow through the Minjiang River naturally, enabling ecosystems and fish populations to exist in harmony.24. What are the benefits of Dujiangyan according to the first paragraph?A. Reducing flooding and watering farmland.B. Protecting the mountain and reducing the flooding.C. Watering farmland and improving water quality.D. Drying the river and supplying cities with water.25. What was the main cause of the Minjiang River’s flooding?A. Heaving rainsB. Melting snow.C. Low river banks C. Steep mountains.26. How was Li Bing able to break through the rocks of Mount Yulei?A. By using gunpowder.B. By flooding the rocks with water.C. By applying a hearing and cooling technique.D. By breaking the rocks with hammers and spades27. Why is Dujiangyan greatly admired by scientists today?A. It preserved much of the natural river life.B. It took very little time to complete the project.C. The building techniques used were very modern.D. It had raised the living standards of the local people.CBill Gates recently predicted that online learning will make place-based colleges less significant, and five years from now, students will be able to find the best lectures in the world online. I applaud Mr. Gates. But what’s taking us so long?As early as 1997, MIT（麻省理工）decide to post videos of all universitylectures online, for free, for all people. But today, how many students have you met who mastered advanced mathematics or nuclear physics from an MIT online video? Unfortunately, the answer is not many.The problem is the poor quality of online education websites and the experience they provide to students. Those who go to the MIT website and watch courses online are surely very smart people, but it’s not like playing a video game such as World of Warcraft. Only the most ardent students, those who are highly motivated, will devote themselves to studying these boring online videos.The real question is why er aren’t spending more to develop better online education platforms. Where is the Avatar of education? Think about this. The market for Hollywood films per year is worth around 30 billion USD. Education in the world is a trillion-dollar-a-year market, hundreds of times bigger than Hollywood movies. Yet the most expensive digital learning system ever built cost well under 100 million dollars.Bill Gates’prediction is going to happen. There is no doubt about this. But it will only happen when we create high level educational content and experiences that engage and excite more than has ever been possible in the real world.28. What has Bill Gates forecast about online learning?A. It will concentrate on physics lectures.B. It will completely replace real universities.C. It will help to make universities more successful.D. It will play an increasingly important role in education.29. What does the underlined word “ardent” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Creative.B. Enthusiastic.C. Well-behaved.D. Experienced.30. According to the author, what is holding back the popularity of online learning?A. The lack of lectures available online.B. The high cost of access to the websites.C. The low standard of educational websites.D. The competition with online computer games.31. Why does the author mention Hollywood?A. To show that Hollywood produces many successful movies.B. To prove that education is more profitable than entertainment.C. To argue that movie directors should produce educational content.D. To urge that more money be spent developing educational websites.DPersuasion is the art of convincing someone to agree with you. Accordingto the ancient Greeks, there are three basic tools of persuasion: ethos, pathos, and logos.Ethos is a speaker’s way of convincing the audience that she is trustworthy, honest and reliable. One common way a speaker can develop ethos is by explaining how much experience or education she has in the field. After all, you’re more likey to listen to advice about how to take care of your teeth from a dentist than a fireman. A speaker can also create ethos by convincing the audience that she is a good person. If an audience cannot trust you, you will not be able to persuade them.Pathos is a speaker’s way of connecting with an audience’s emotions. For example, a politician who is trying to convince an audience to vote for him might say that he alone can save the country from a terrible war. These words are intended to fill the audience with fear, thus making them support him. Similarly, an animal charity might show an audience pictures of injured dos and cats, to make the viewers feel pity. If the audience feels bad for the animals, they ill be more likely to donate money.Logos is the use of facts, statistics, or other evidence to support your argument. An audience will be more likely to believe you if you have convincing data to back up your claims. Presenting this evidence is much more persuasive than simply saying “believe me”.Although ethos, pathos, and logos all have their strengths, they are often most effective when used together. Indeed, most speakers use a combination of ethos, pathos, and logs to persuade their audiences so, the next time you listen to a speech, watch a commercial, or listen to a friend try to convince you to lend him some money, be on the lookout for these ancient Greek tools of persuasion.32. Why does the author say persuasion is an art?A. They both entertain the audience.B. They both require great skill to achieve.C. They both demand full attention from the audience.D. They were both common topics of ancient Greek writers.33. How is a speaker able to show her ethos to the audience?A. By expressing her sympathy with the audience.B. By telling the audience about her personal preference.C. By using beautiful language to make her statements attractive.D. By showing her knowledge and experience relating to the topic..34. What can we learn about the three aspects of persuasion?A. Ethos is the most important aspect of persuasion.B. Each aspect has a different effect on the audience.C. Honesty is the key to making your arguments believable.D. Political leaders mostly use pathos to persuade their audience.35. An advertisement for washing powder which claims that “scientific tests show that our powder kills 95% of all bacteria: is mainly using _____________.A. ethosB. pathosC. logosD.

Cold weather during winter months may keep many people from 1 home and running in the open air. 2 , a new study shows 3 the drop in temperature is a good reason to run. In fact, researchers say, running in cold weather 4 improve one’s performance（身体机能）. Many people say running in winter is difficult. Two reasons are the low temperatures and bitter winds. Yet many runners might find 5 easier than running in hot weather. That could be because lower temperatures reduce stress on the body. When you run in cold weather, your heart rate is 6 than in warmer conditions. Besides, the body needs less water 7 a cold day than in warm weather. This information comes from John Brewer, a sports scientist at St. Mary’s University in London. Brewer says every movement runners make produces heat. He explains that one way in which we lose heat 8 by sweating , and that the body also loses heat by transporting the blood to the surface of the skin. But sweating puts much strain（张力）on the heart, particularly in hot conditions because it is 9 harder to lose heat when the external environment is warm 10 .In addition, running in higher temperatures results in faster heart rates. Scientists found, 11 , that heart rates were about 6 percent higher in the hotter conditions. However, running in cooler temperatures has 12 advantages. One is that the body does not have to work so hard to pump blood to the 13 surface in cooler temperatures, which means running requires less energy. Several websites note that the most important thing for people 14 run in cold conditions is to wear the right clothing. And especially, keeping as dry as possible is very important 15 exercising in low temperatures. (294 words)( )1.A. leave B. leaving C. left D. to leave( )2.A. But B. Therefore C.

(A)One morning more than thirty years ago, I entered the Track Kitchen, a restaurant where everyone from the poor to the most powerful came for breakfast. I noticed an empty chair next to an elder, short man, whose hair was disorder. He was wearing an old hat and was alone. I asked if I might join him. He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast.We carefully began a conversation and spoke about a lot of things. We never introduced ourselves. I thought that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat. So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee. I asked, “May I get you something?”“A coffee would be nice.”Then I bought him a cup of coffee, we talked more, and he accepted another cup of coffee. Finally, I rose to leave, wished him well, and went to the exit. At the door I met one of my friends. He asked,“How did you get to know Mr. Galbreath?”“Who?”“The man you were sitting with. He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs.”I could hardly believe it. I was talking, buying coffee, offering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one of the world's richest and most powerful men!My few minutes with Mr. Galbreath changed my life.

At 16, her second book, Demon in My View, also reached the bookstore. Several books later, the teenage writer still works away in her room, in which were shelves full of dark stories about vampires （吸血鬼）and witches （巫婆）. Amelia Atwater-Rhodes is seen asAmerica’s finest teen writer and was named one of Teen People’s “20 Teens Who will Change the World”.Born in 1984, she be gan making up stories when she was three years old. Amelia said: “I love stories and can make up stories before I was told enough to know how to write them down.”In her family, reading was great fun. “My parents encouraged me to read and to read anything I wanted, so long as I was reading,” she said. “They never stop what I read and never make me read the books I don’t enjoy. Later, when I started writing, they never told me that I was ‘too young to do that’. They never said it was impossible for me to get what I want. ”In her short but successful career, Amelia has tried different stories. But vampires were the first characters to really come alive in her work. From then on, she has developed a whole world, one which she always enjoys learning more about.Amelia’s advice to the teen writers is: just do it! “I believe anything is possible. Don’t give up on your dreams. Getting a book published is difficult but if I can do it, others can do it too. ”31．When can readers find the book, Demon in My View, in the bookstore？A．In 1984. B．In 1987. C．In 1998. D．In 2000.32．Why did Amelia begin to write stories?A. Her parents told her to do so.B. She was a born writer.C. She wanted to get the na me “20 Teens Who will Change the World”.D. She wanted to start a successful career.33．Why are the shelves of books in her room important in her life?A．She needs books to fill her room.B．She liked to copy these wonderful books.C．Books can give her new ideas for her own stories.D．Books are interesting and enjoyable.34．Which is the meaning of the underlined sentence?A．I love stories but don’t have enough stories to write down.B．I write stories and tell my stories to other people.C．I write my own stories before I learn how to do it in school.D．I wrote my stories first, my parents told me to do it second.35．Which is Amelia’s parents’attitude (态度)?A．They are at her back and help her a lot.B．They encourage her and help her write some stories.C．They buy enough books for her and read these books for her.D．They never tell her that she is too young to read.(C)The baby is just one day old and has not left hospital yet. She is quiet but alert（警觉）. The researchers have placed a white card with two black spots on it twenty centimeters from her face. She stares at it carefully.A researcher removes the card and replaces it by another one, this time with the spots differently spaced. As the cards change from one to the other, her gaze（凝视）starts to lose its focus until a third card is presented. The third card has three black spots on it. Her gaze returns: she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card. Can she tell that the number twois different from three, just 24 hours after coming into the world? Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer?The same experiment, but with three spots shown before two, shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes. Perhaps it is just the newness? When a little older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects (a comb, a key, an orange and so on), changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves.
