While help has always been available for Emma, Alison and her husband also have to fight to get Cameron the support he needs. ＂People could see that Emma has special needs but because Cameron was doing so well at school, his teachers never thought there was a problem with him.＂ says Alison.It took Alison and her husband a while to realize their son was different. Cameron’s ability didn’t become clear until he began primary school. Once he even corrected the teacher when she told the class that zero was the lowest number. Cameron told her she was wrong because there were negative numbers (负数). He was four at the time. Now 14-year-old Cameron is at secondary school, studying for a distance learning math degree with the Open University, having sailed through his GCSE at 11 and his A-level at 12, achieving top grades.Bethany, another daughter of Alison, is bright too but not gifted. She is the one who will remind absent-minded Cameron to put on his coat.

The 22-year-old biology major at Huazhong University of Science and Technology found a job as an IT technician in Shanghai. ＂My experience in the club gave me another ‘diploma’,＂ said Mu. ＂More importantly, I found something I am good at and can make a living from.＂Now campuses (校园) around the country have started recruiting (招收) fresh faces for all kinds of clubs. Upperclassmen and experts suggest a hobby-based choice of clubs, which might have a lasting impact (影响)on one’s life and career. Zhang Ling did not get many chances to write stories as an environmental protection major at Jiangxi University of Science and Technology. But this changed when she joined the university broadcasting station. Her daily interviews with students and teachers expanded her horizons. Now she is determined to become a journalist on environmental issues with her degree in environmental protection. ＂Journalism changed my life track,＂ said the 22-year-old girl. ＂I only wanted to be a science teacher in a local senior high school. But now I am applying for a graduate school in journalism.＂Lan Yujie, a professor at Anhui University of Technology, regards Mu and Zhang as good examples of choosing ＂what I like＂ instead of ＂what is practical＂ in finding jobs and seeking further study. ＂Some freshmen don’t know what to choose,＂said Lan. ＂Just following a hobby and doing something you like can easily give you the experiences that make you happy and special.＂Lan further says that joining clubs should not necessarily have a purpose. As part of campus life, a club experience will impact one’s life and career in one way or another. ＂The point of clubs is to have as many diverse(多样的)experiences as possible so that students can explore more of their life,＂ said Lan.8.Why did Mu Yumin join the computer club?A. To get another diploma.B. To change his major.C. To find a good job.D. To have a good time.9.According to the text, joining the campus club has many advantages EXCEPT _________.A. offering you many pleasuresB. making you plan your career betterC. helping you make more friendsD. helping you get more life experiences10.What can we learn from Lan Yujie’s words in the last paragraph?A. Club experiences will affect students’ life and career.B. Students should be practical in finding jobs.C. Joining clubs should have a clear goal.D. Students will have a colorful campus life by joining clubs.11.What is the main idea of the text?A. How to change your major.B. Joining a campus club for a diploma.C. How to find a job after graduation.D. Joining a club to explore more of your life.DMonty Hempel is a professor of environmental sciences at Redlands University in California. He studies ecological literacy —or eco-literacy, for short. Eco-literacy is the ability to think about and understand the natural processes that make life possible.Monty Hempel says eco-literacy gives people knowledge about environmental problems. But he says it does not always work on getting them to change their behavior.Mr. Hempel wrote part of the Worldwatch Institu te’s latest State of the World report. He says in his article, ＂Some people think that eco-literacy is just a green form of science literacy. And what I have tried to ask is whether that’s enough. In other words, what an ecologically-literate person needs to know might include things like the effect of environmental pollution on ecosystem, the energy systems, and all of those kinds of things that we would call the science of ecology.＂＂That doesn’t seem to lead to action to protect our environment — to protect our life-support system to the level that we need to. Just knowing a lot about theenvironment doesn’t mean that we actually act to save it. After all, actions speak louder than knowledge. ＂He adds that people may not be very worried about environmental problems if they seem far away. ＂Some people call it psychological distance. A lot of climate issues are worse in the Arctic and most of us don’t spend time in the Arctic. And so, there’s a certain distance. But there’s also a distance that’s happening in the world as it urbanizes — people spending more time in front of screens and less time out in nature. We become, if you will, disconnected from the natural systems that used to be the key to success for a human being. ＂To help children discover the wonders of nature, he adds that children should learn about nature in school. But he also points out we have a high mountain for people to climb from knowledge to action.12.From what Monty Hempel says in Paragraph 3, we learn that _________.A. knowledge on environmental protection is not enoughB. knowledge that children learn at school is uselessC. eco-literacy can help people understand how nature worksD. people with enough knowledge will protect the environment well13.What is especially important for environmental protection in Mr. Hempel’s opinion?A. Knowledge.B. Action.C. Green living.D. Psychological distance.14.Mr. Hempel thinks people show no concern about some environmental problems because .A. they lack knowledge on environmental protectionB. they have no awareness of environmental protectionC. some environmental problems are not worse at allD. some environmental problems happen far away15.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Experts think it is the best way to learn nature in school.B. Climbing a high mountain is a good way to exercise well.C. Changing people’s attitude to environmental protection is hard.D. Knowledge can help children take action to protect the environment.第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Unit 2 Working the landAutobiography of HemingwayErnest Hemingway is a giant of modernliterature. Among twentieth-century Americanfiction writers, his work is most often comparedto that of his contemporaries William Faulkner andF. Scott Fitzgerald. Combined with his outstandingshort stories, Hemingway’s four major novels —The Sun Also Rises (1926), A Farewell to Arms (1929), For Whom the Bell Tolls(1940), The Old Man and the Sea(1952) —comprise a contribution to modern fiction that is far more substantial than Fitzgerald’s and that approximates Faulkner’s.Faulkner was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature a few years before Hemingway received this recognition, but their respective approaches to fiction are dissimilar. When set along side Faulkner’s Mississippi novels, Hemingway’s major works feature simpler structures and narrative voices.As or more important, Hemingway’s style, with its consistent use of short, concrete, direct prose and of scenes consisting exclusively of dialogue, gives his novels and short stories a distinctive accessibility that is immediately identifiable with the author. Owing to the direct character of both his style and his life-style, there is a tendency to cast Hemingway as a＂representative＂ American writer whose work reflects the bold, forthright and rugged individualism of the American spirit in action. His own background as a wounded veteran of World War I, as an engaged combatant in the fight against Fascism and as a＂he-man＂ with a passion for outdoor adventures and other manly pursuits reinforce this association.Hemingway is direct. But he is also quite subtle, and subtlety is not a trait that we ascribe to the American way. In the end, Hemingway is an international artist, a manwho never relinquished his American identity but who entered new territories too broad and too deep to fit within the domain of any national culture.海明威是现代文学巨匠。

Unit 2 Working the landSalvador Dali (1904-1989) was one of the most popular of modern artists. The Pompidou Centre in Paris is showing its respect and admiration for the artist and his powerful personality with an exhibition bringing together over 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings and more. Among the works and masterworks on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces, most importantly The Persistence of Memory.

The exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exiting through the brain.The exhibition shows how Dali draws the viewer between two infinities (无限).＂From the infinity small to the infinity large, contraction and expansion coming in and out of focus: amazing Flemish accuracy and the showy Baroque of old painting that he used in his museum-theatre in Figueras,＂ explains the Pompidou Centre.The fine selection of the major works was done in close collaboration (合作)with the Museo Nacional Reina Sofia in Madrid, Spain, and with contributions from other institutions like the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg.28．Which of the following best describe Dali according to Paragraph 1?A.

Unit 2 Working the landⅠ.阅读理解(2017·遵义第四中学月考)Every time I lost a tooth I would put it under my pillow at night. The next morning I would wake up to find two coins replacing my tooth. Then I'd wonder about the tooth fairy all day.“Mom, where do you think the tooth fairy lives? What does she do with the teeth she collects？”My mom said she didn't know. She only knew that the tooth fairy took the tooth away while we were sleeping and left us some money under our pillow. But I wanted to find out. So I think it was a good thing that I would lose another tooth. The plan was to stay up all night and ask the tooth fairy when she showed up.That night I lay quietly in my bed, growing sleepy as the night went on. Moments later, I felt that someone was close to me. Through my half opened eyes, I didn't see any feet, but I knew it was the tooth fairy. I watched her run around and fly right out of my room. She was wearing a shiny green dress. After she left, I immediately felt under my pillow. There were two coins. I had never even felt my pillow move. I wondered if she used magic.As I got older, I learned from my teachers that the tooth fairy didn't exist. It was just a mythical figure of early childhood. I kind of thought it was, but how could I see the tooth fairy fly that night?Then one night my mom came into my room to check on me.

Unit 2 Working the landⅠ.阅读理解ARecordings of angry bees are enough to send big, tough African elephants running away, a new study says.Beehives(蜂窝)—either recorded or real—may even prevent elephants from damaging farmers' crops.In 2002, scientist Lucy King and her team found that elephants avoid certain trees with bees living in them. Today, Lucy wants to see if African honeybees might discourage elephants from eating crops. But before she asked farmers to go to the trouble of setting up beehives on their farms, she needed to find out if the bees would scare elephants away.Lucy found a wild beehive inside a tree in northern Kenya and set up a recorder. Then she threw a stone into the beehive, which burst into life. Lucy and her assistant hid in their car until the angry bees had calmed down. Next, Lucy searched out elephant families in Samburu National Reserve in northern Kenya and put a speaker in a tree close to each family.From a distance, Lucy switched on the prerecorded sound of angry bees while at the same time recording the elephants with a video camera. Half the elephant groups left the area within ten seconds. Out of a total of 17 groups, only one group ignored the sound of the angry bees. Lucy reported that all the young elephants immediately ran to their mothers to hide under them. When Lucy played the sound of a waterfall (瀑布) instead of the angry bees to many of the same elephant families，the animals were undisturbed. Even after four minutes，most of the groups stayed in one place.Lucy is now studying whether the elephants will continue to avoid the sound of angry bees after hearing it several times. She hasn't tested enough groups yet to know, but her initial (最初的) results were promising enough to begin trials with farmers. She has now begun placing speakers in the fields to see if elephants are frightened away.1．We know from the passage that elephants may be frightened of ________.A．loud noises B．some cropsC．video cameras D．angry bees2．Why did Lucy throw a stone into a wild beehive?A．To record the sound of bees.B．To make a video of elephants.C．To see if elephants would run away.D．To find out more about the behavior of bees.3．As mentioned in the passage, Lucy ________.A．works by herself in AfricaB．needs to test more elephant groupsC．has stopped elephants eating cropsD．has got farmers to set up beehives on their farms4．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．Young elephants ignore African honeybees.B．Waterfalls can make elephants stay in one place.C．Elephants do not go near trees with bees living in them.D．Farmers do not allow Lucy to conduct tests in their fields.【语篇导读】本文介绍了一项有趣的科学实验，科学家通过大量实验来验证小蜜蜂能否有效阻止庞然大物——非洲大象损坏农作物。
