I’ve been obsessed (困扰) with languages for as long as I can remember. My dad could talk to everyone with ease, confidently 36 between languages. His abilities made a big impression on me, but he didn’t 37 me to follow his lead.I wasn’t a(n) 38 language learner. I made slow progress with French at school and almost gave it up. But things felt different when I 39 German at university — loving many German writers in translation, I wanted to read them in their 40 tongue, and that’s been my main 41 for learning new ones since. Once I got German, I was 42 ; French, Latin, Greek and Sanskrit quickly followed. The idea of having a 43 overview of the world has always fascinated me, and 44 languages seemed a good way of achieving that. By my 20s, I’d set my heart on 45 the rest of my life to learning as many as I could.I’m often asked what the 46 is, and whether some people have a gift for absorbing words and phrases. The truth is that it’s down to endless hours of 47 — reading, studying and practicing grammar. 48 , all these wonderful languages start to swim into focus, and ever increasing numbers of great works become 49 .It’s hard, but the 50 can be thrilling. When I started studying Spanish, there was a moment when the living language suddenly 51 itself to me. Something 52 happened when I heard Swedish spoken around me. It seemed to 53 elements of languages I was familiar with. The more of them I know, the more I see how inter-related they are. All it took was three weeks and I was able to 54 effectively in complex conversations.Now, I can read about three dozen languages and speak most of them fluently.

entertainment and interactive experiences with creatures．C. offers unlimited access to premier attractions with a little more charge．D. caters to the curiosity of chidlren with guided exploration and interactions．17.It can be learned from the passage that ______ ．A. visitors will be admitted to the zoo at their convenience．B. drivers shall get parking space with a paid entry ticket．C. late comers may miss some of the animal exhibits．D. wheelchair users can have access to any building．BWe all have defining moments in our lives ---- meaningful experiences tha tstand out in our memory．Many of them owe a great deal to chance：a lucky encounter（相遇）with someone who becomes the love of your life．A new teacher who spots a talent you didn't know you had．These moments seem to be the product of fate or luck．We can't control them．But is that true？No necessarily．Defining moments shape our lives，but we don't have to wait for them to happen．We can be the authors of them．It is possible to create defining moments if we understand more about hem．Our research shows that they all share a set of common elements．We start by asking：why do we remember certain experiences and forget others？In the case of big days，such as weddings，the answer is pretty clear----it's a celebration that is grand in scale and rich in emotion．No surprise that it's more memorable than a maths lesson．But for other experiences in life ----from holidays ot work projects----it's not so clear why we rememver what we do．Consider an experiment in which participants were asked to submerge（浸入）their hands for 60 seconds in buckets filled with 14℃ water．（Remember 14℃ water feels much colder than 14℃ air．）They were then asked to submerge their hands for 90 seconds instead of 60，but during the final 30 seconds，the water warmed up to 15℃．The participants were then given a choice：would you rather repeat the first trial or the second？Psychologists have explained the reasons for this puzzling result．When people assess an experience，they tend to forget or ignore its length．Instead they seem to rate the experience based on two key moments：the best or worst moment，known as the peak，and the ending．In the participants' memories，what stood out for them was that the longer trial ended more comfortably than the shorter one．So when we assess our experiences，we don't average our minute-by-minute feelings．Rather，we tend to remember flagship moments：the peaks，the pits（低谷）and the transitions．What we don't remember are the bits inbetween----sometimes there is little to distinguish one week from the next．Partly this is because there may be only a dozen moments in your ife that show who youare----those are big defining moments．But there are smaller experiences，too，in the context of a memorable holiday，romantic date or work achievement．Once we understand how we remember certain moments and why，we can start to create more moments that matter．18.How does the author udnerstand defining moments？______A. We can create defining moments in our lives．B. Defining moments ar ejust ou tof our control．C. No similarities exist between defining moments．D. Defining moments consist of smaller experiences．19.We can learn from the experiment that ______ ．A. the striking moments are more likely to be remembered．B. the length of an experience determines our memory of itC. it is meaningful to distinguish the bits in bdetween flagship moments．D. all the components of an experience should be equally remembered20.What would probably be discussed in the following part of the text？______A. What to prepare for life's trials．B. Why to create defining moments．C. Whom to owe our good fates to．D. How to create life's big moments．CAustralian magpies can understand what other birds are saying to each other，a new study has found．The research，published in the journal Animal Behavior，says the magpie has learned the meanings of different noisy miner calls and essentially eavesdrops（偷听）to find out which predators（食肉动物）are near．Noisy miners----a small，native honeyeater----have different warning calls for ground-based and aerial（飞行的）predators．By playing both kinds of recording to a series of wild magpies，researchers observed the magpies raising their beaks（喙）to the sky，or dropping their heads to the ground．Researchers attracted the magpies with cheese，then played the noisy miner calls，videotaping the results．As a control，they also rolled a large orange ball towards the magpies to se ehow they ordinarily tilted（倾斜）their beaks to ground threats，and threw the ball to see how they reacted to aerial threats．The researchers recorded an average maximum beak angle of 29 degrees for the thrown ball，and an average maximum of nine degrees when it was rolled．The miners' aerial warnng caused an average maximum beak angle of 31 degrees，and the ground warning caused an average maximum of 24．One of the study's authors，Dominique Potvin，said the magpies showed an astonishing level of insight．Magpies and miners broadly face the same types of predators and the two frequently live in the same ecosystem．Potvin said this had encouraged the magpies' learned behavior．"Magpies are generally found on the ground and noisy miners are generally found up in trees．It pays for the magpie to pay attention to somebody who has a better view of predators than they do．"She said it was unclear whether other birds could do the same，but it was highly likely other magpies around Australia already did．"Magpies are a pretty smart group．We're not sure if they''re learning this from other magpies or if they're figuring it out on their own，but the ability is there．As part of the experiment，researchers also played a third call：a common，non-warning call from a crimson rosella．They found the magpies did not respond．Potvin said that we had been actively exploring animal cognition（认知）research．"It's a good piece of the puzzle，" Potvin said．"Looking at the social relationships between species that live in communities．"21.What have the researchers found about Australian magpies？______A. They can understand other bird calls．B. They can communicate with noisy miners．C. They have a special preference for cheeses．D. They have the ability to warn the predators．22.How did the researchers get their findings？______A. By calculating the beak angles of aerial and ground predators．B. By comparing the magie and the miner responses to threats．C. By monitoring the magpie responses to the miner warning calls．D. By recording the magpie louder scream for other birds' attention．23.The magpies' cognition can help them ______ ．A. have a better view of the predators than the minersB. better protect themselves from the potential threatsC. cooperate with other birds to drive away the predatorsD. live in harmony with other birds in the same ecosystem24.We can learn from the passage that ______ ．A. the magpies are smart learners of other birds' behaviourB. it's likely that other birds have developed the same abilityC. the findings have clarified the relationships between speciesD. a lot more remains to be explored about animal cognitionDUN scholars have calculated that within the next 10 years the degradation（退化）of farm and grassland could turn 50 million people into migrants．Another UN agency calculated that in the last 25 years，another 3% of the planet's forests had been burned or cut down．Once yhou have read Gaia Vince's book，you start to register the scale of change in afast---changing world．Adventures in the Anthropocene holds a mirror up to humanity and says：look what you have done to the world，they only world you will ever have．The Anthropocene----the Age of Man----is a proposed new name for the quaternary （第四纪）period that we now live in，and it includes what has come to be called the Great Acceleration，in which during the last 65 years，whatever humans did，they did it faster and more effectively，and on a greater scale，while at the same time reproducing more and dying much less．Did it take 50，000 years to reach a population of one billion？Just in the last 10 years，another billion people appeared on the planet，and by the end of this century，it could be home to 9，or 10，or 11 billion souls，each of which will hope for the minimum to sustain health and contentment．Many of them will demand a lot more，which is where the problems begin．To build cities，pave highways and establish factories，humans decades ago became the greatest earth-moving force on the planet：they each year shift more rock and soil than the wind and the rain，k the rivers and the glaciers（冰川）combined．Cities now cover 2% of the planet's land：by 2030，this will be 10%．Over the next 80 years，the species will build a city for one million people every 10 days．To keep these cities functioning，humans will consume 18 terawatts of energy and by 2020，around 5 billion of them will have smartphones，and internet access，and already people who are miserably poor can see，at a finger's touch，what they are missing，and want it for themselves，and in the course of trying ot get it，consume more resources and cause destruction to ecosystem．Anyone who reads this book will have no excuse for not thinking about it．Vince doesn't just collect the statistics of exploitation and destruction，she goes to see for herself what they mean．Like a good reporter，she tries to see both sides：she explores both the humandestruction and the beneficial and sometimes amazing solutions that human wisdom can deliver．She does the legwork too：she climbs up steep mountainsides in Nepal，and in Ladakh，looks at hydroelectric plans in Patagonia，walks through the forest to get closer to a tiger，steps out in the slums near Cartagena in Colombia，and slips down an Amazon tributary in a dugout．Everywhere in the world，the ice is disappearing，but in Ladakh，an engineer has worked out a way to make artificial glaciers to store the water for summer growth，and in doing so has given the villagers not just security but a new kind of hopee．In every chapter，there are excellent stories like this，glimpses（一瞥）of the other world that perhaps we could have made for ourselves．Necessarily，to get around a topic that involves all human history and all geography too，she has to be brief，and so in every chapter，she leaves you wanting more．This is usually considered to be a good thing．Good or not，it is difficult to see．And if she helps readers understand a little better the loss and suffering lies behind the exploitation of the rare earths，then it becomes in every sense a good book．25.The statistics in the first paragraph are meant to ______ ．A. rid people of their concerns about the earthB. stress the gravity of the destruction of the earthC. clarify people's misunderstandings of the earthD. warn people of the contraditory reports about the earth26.The underlined part in Paragraph 3 most probably means ______ ．A. more trees were planted and fewer of them diedB. people produced much more than they consumedC. the birth rate was higher and the death rate was lowerD. more animals were raised and the universal rate was higher27.According to the author，the construciton of cities and infrastructures will ______ ．A. create more job opportunkities for citizensB. narrow the gap between the rich and the poorC. promote globalization and economic developmentD. cause overconsumption and ecological destruction28.Why does the book set peopel thinking？______A.

One possible version：Most of the students enjoy a harmonious family atmosphere with equal treatment． However ， about 16% of the parents expect too much of their children and some are even hard on the m．（30个词概括）The importance of family education cannot be stressed too much． It's well known that the fa mily is a person's first school， and parents are the first teachers．（高分句型一） Proper family educaion is always in th emost fundamental position， which plays a ver y important role in shaping a child's growth and development．（高分句型二）（简要谈谈父母教育方式的重要性）In my opinion， the ideal family educational mode should be the one that adopts the scientifi c method of encouragement， guidiance， and tolerance． Parents should pay great attentio n to emotional communication by sparing time to talk with children， listen attentively to the ir aspirations and give them encouragement． Only in this way can children build self-respec t and self-confidence and develop their physical and mental health．（谈谈你理想中的父母教育方式）【解析】1. 本题考查名词的词义辨析．appointment约定、任命；achievement成就；commitment 承诺、保证；employment雇佣．根据句意，可知答案．故选：B．这个工程师被认为是既有能力又谦虚的，所以提他当经理是一个受欢迎的任命．本题考查名词的词义辨析．此类试题要求考生在掌握所给选项的具体含义和用法的基础上，然后根据句意选出正确的答案．同学们在平常的词汇积累过程中，要根据具体的句子和语境记忆，这样效果更好．2. 答案：B．turn out最后是，结果是make out理解；辨认出put out 熄灭；伸出；出版leave out遗漏，省去；不考虑根据句意，B项正确．故选：B．我不知道我做了什么来惹恼杰西卡．-别担心，她有点敏感．考查动词短语词义辨析．弄清楚各个动词短语的词义，准确地翻译句子及备选答案，然后选择最符合题意的选项．3. 答案：C．考查非谓语动词．句意：这个女孩是有感恩之心的，无论何时她都记得我和我弟弟把她从冰水里救出的情形．固定短语：remember sb．doing sth记得某人做过某事．故C选项正确．故选：C．这个女孩是有感恩之心的，无论何时她都记得我和我弟弟把她从冰水里救出的情形．非谓语动词是高中语法的重点也是同学们学习的难点，解决非谓语的题目首先要分析所考查的非谓语动词的语法成分和形式．分析一下题中缺少的是谓语动词还是非谓语动词．其次分析句子中缺少什么成分，分析应填或应选的非谓语动词所表示的动作所发生的时间．因为弄清由非谓语动词所表示的动作发生的时间与整个句子的谓语动词所表示的动作发生的时间的先后顺序是解题的关键．辨析非谓语动词与其逻辑主语是主谓关系还是动宾关系从，而确定非谓语动词应用的语态形式．现在分词作补足语，表示的是正在进行的或主动的动作．4. 本题考查指示代词．the one 表示特指，相当于the+可数名词单数，one表示泛指，相当于a/an+可数名词单数，those表示特指，相当于the+可数名词复数，ones 表示泛指，相当于可数名词复数．本题中the one代指the book Life and Death，Are Wearing Me Out ，是特指．故选：A．你读过莫言的小说《生死疲劳》吗？就是那本获得2012年诺贝尔文学奖的书．本题考查指示代词．在解题时，先判断所指对象是特指还是泛指，在判断所指对象是单数还是复数，根据上文提示做出判断．5. 答案：A．at length 充分地；详尽地at random任意地；随便地at ease安逸；自然自在at best至多；充其量根据句意，A项正确．故选：A．我们已经详细讨论了这个计划，接下来我们应该不遗余力地执行它．考查介词短语词义辨析．弄清楚各个介词短语的词义，准确地翻译句子及备选答案，然后选择最准确的选项．6.
