But Leon could not grasp more than one object at a time. So Leon's father, Paul, created a prosthesis(假肢），using a 3D printer. Now Leon has fingers that open and close."It was a do-it-yourself, father and son adventure," says raw.When Leon was a baby, his doctor advised his parents not to give him a prosthetic hand until he was in his early teens. "The doctor said Leon should first learn to get full use out of the hand he was born with," says Paul. As Leon got older, his father looked into buying a prosthetic hand, which can cost as much as $30,000. Paul found a more affordable solution.One day, Paul discovered a video on the Internet about Robohand, a prosthesis created with a 3D printer. He downloaded the free instructions and called Robohand's creators for advice. They told him all he needed was a 3D printer一which costs around $2,000- and some materials.Luckily, Leon's school had recently purchased a 3D printer and it offered to help Paul build the hand for Leon.“We used a soccer shin guard （护胫），cardboard, and tape. They cost about＄10," says Paul. With his new hand, Leon can do things better. "I can help my mom more, because now I can carry two grocery bags,”he says.Leon's father has already built .several hands for Leon. Leon helps design each one. He says there's one thing in particular that he wants to do with a future prosthesis.“The goal," he tells the reporter from the local evening paper,“is to be able to tie my shoelaces:'24. Why did Leon's doctor disapprove of his using a prosthesis in his childhood?A.The prosthetic technology was underdeveloped then.B. A prosthesis was very expensive at that time.C. To master the disabled hand was important.D. The original hand could do many tasks.25. Leon's father managed to get Leon a new hand byA.collecting money on the Internet.B. buying a prosthetic handC. purchasing a 3D printerD. printing a hand26. The materials used for Leon's hand can be described asA. cheap and commonB. strange and valuableC. personal and lovelyD. basic and solid27. Where can the passage be taken from?A. An advertisementB. A newspaperC. A posterD. A travel guide CWhenever we turn on the TV or radio, read the newspapers, surf theInternet, we'll be surrounded by the word "diet" everywhere. We have so easily been attracted by the promise of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically（心理上地）and physically.It's obvious that diet products weaken us psychologically. They allow us to jump over the thinking stage that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fat. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word "diet" in food labels.What's more, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves that we don't have to work to get results．Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle. As a matter of fact, the danger that diet products bring not only lies in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm they cause. Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie. oaly because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products, And they can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are stopping our bodies having basic nutrients. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemicalsthat go into diet products are potentially dangerous. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Think twice before buying diet products. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, 3rd therefore, prevent the psychological and physical harm that comes from using them.28. From Paragraph 1，we learn thatA. diet products are in our daily lifeB. people have trouble choosfng diet productsC. people should put up with diet productsD. diet products are misleading people29.

More than half of households access the Internet via an ADSL line and 34 percent of broadband connections are wireless."Europe's digital economy is growing strongly as more and more households love to choose between fixed, mobile and Internet services," said EU Information Society and Media Commissioner wiane Reding.

AShyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are concerned with their own appearance and actions too much. Negative thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: What kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must affect people unfavorably. A person's self-concept is reflected in the way he or she behaves and the way a person behaves affects other people's reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a deep effect on all areas of their lives.Shy people, who have low respect, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need faith that they are doing "the right thing". Shy people are very sensitive to criticism. It makes them feel inferior (自卑). They also find it difficult to be pleased by praises because they believe they are unworthy of praise. A shy person may respond to a praise with a statement like this one: "You're just saying that to make me feel good, I know it's not true. ” It is clear that, while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.Can shyness be completely got rid of, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determination since shyness goes hand in hand with lack of self respect. It is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths. Each one of us has his or her own characteristics. We are interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our chances for a rich and successful life.first paragraph is mainly about______.A. the cause of shynessB. the feelings of shy peopleC. the effect of shyness on peopleD. the questions in the minds of shy peopleto the writer, self-awareness is______.A. harmful to peopleB. a healthy qualityC. the cause of unhappinessD. a weak point of shy peopleis the shy people's reaction to praise?A. They are pleased by it.B. They feel they are worthy of it.C. They are very sensitive to it.D. They feel it is not true.can learn from the passage that shyness can ______.A. be overcome with determinationB. help us to live up to our full developmentC. enable us to understand ourselves betterD. have nothing to do with lack of self respectBFour years ago my sweet mom went to be with her Lord. She did it her way.I got the call at work, and I headed home quickly. Mom and Dad lived on a small farm that they had owned since I was seven. I hated going there every weekend. There was nothing for a young girl to do but watch the one station on the old TV set. The place was shabby, with no indoor pipes or heat. We had a big wood stove in the kitchen that did its best to heat the little farmhouse, but it always seemed cold and too quiet to me.My mom, on the other hand, loved the peace and quiet of the land and loved to work in thegarden among her flowers and vegetables. In the evenings, my mom and I would sit for hours singing in the little kitchen. I sang the melody and Mom harmonized. Her favorite song was "Moon River" and we sang it over and over. Mom told me stories about how when I was a little girl, I could sing before I could talk. She loved to tell how my playpens (婴儿床) in the kitchen next to the radio and there was one song I particularly loved called "Ivory Tower".As time passed, I had my own children and went to visit every week or two. The kids loved the farm and the tractor rides with my dad. Me, well, I still hated the silence of the farm. While my mom loved to sit at her kitchen table and look out at her garden and flowers and retell all the old stories, I missed the hustle and bustle of my life at home. But I sat there listening quietly as she recalled.Now, I sat back in the silence and the silence was deafening so I finally leaned over to turn on an old radio. Music always comforted me.My heart skipped a beat. "Moon River" was playing on the radio. I sat there stunned, with a tear running down my cheek, as I listened to every familiar note.Then the radio announcer came on. "Here's one we haven't heard in a while," and an unfamiliar song began. I began to cry harder as I heard the words sung over the airwaves. "Come down, come down from your Ivory Tower...."25. The writer didn’t like staying in the farm for the following reasons EXCEPT that ________.A. it was too cold and quietB. The place was simple, with no indoor plumbing or heatC. there was nothing more that could make her excitedD. she could only sing one song in the small farm26. From the first paragraph, we know that the writer’s mother ________.A. left the small farm with LordB. passed away four years agoC. left for Lord to live her own wayD. preferred to be with Lord27. What does the underlined phrase refer to?A. simple and easyB. old-fashioned and classicC. busy and noisyD. slow-paced and comfortable28. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Mom’s musicB. Cherish life.C. My happy childhoodD. Our small farmhouseCWikipedia (维基百科) is a non-profit website funded by donations, started on 15th January, 2001. “Wiki” means “quick” in the Hawaiian language. These days, most people go straight to Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia (百科), to look something up. But how reliable is it?The site attracts 78 million visitors every month, and it is available in more than 270 different languages. It’s one of the most comprehensive (综合的) resources available, and it’s got much more information than an ordinary encyclopedia. The site is updated on a daily basis by thousands of people around the world. Anyone with an Internet connection can look through and edit the contents or add a new page at any time. And you don’t need any formal training.Of course, there are some controls. Wikipedia has a team of more than 1,500 administrators who check for false information. And main targets for horrible comments (such as politicians) are forbidden to public editing. But with more than 16 million articles to keep an eye on, it isn’t easy. So, while Wikipedia benefits from being constantly updated with information from all over the world, i t’s also open to “vandals (有意捣乱者)”.Some of the damage is easy to notice. Someone drew horns and a moustache on Microsoft chairman Bill Gates’ photo. But other things are harder to spot. The most common form of vandalism involves adding tiny items of false information into the biography of a famous person. Unbelievably, some of this misinformation has appeared in newspapers, with The Daily Mail, The Guardian and The Independent all having fallen victim to the tricks. For example, in an obituary (讣告) for British comedian Sir Norman Wisdom, one newspaper claimed that he co-wrote Dame Vera Lynn’s wartime song “There’ll be Bluebirds over the White Cliffs of Dover”. In fact, he did no such thing.So if you’re going to use any information from Wikipedia, make sure you double-check it first.29. What do we know about Wikipedia?A. It makes profits from its users.B. It is run by the Hawaiian government.C. It provides a huge amount of information.D. It is the most popular website worldwide.30. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. 78 million people visit Wiki each day.B. To forbid wrong public editings is quite easy.C. Formal education is needed to do editing for Wiki.D. Some people change the information on Wiki just for fun.31. The example of Norman Wisdom’s obituary is used to show ________.A. Wikipedia sometimes contains false informationB. some newspapers like The Guardian are irresponsibleC. Norman Wisdom is unpopular with some peopleD. Wikipedia affects people’s lives greatly32. What does the author advise readers to do?A. To look through Wikipedia frequently.B. To update Wikipedia on a daily basis.C. To turn to other websites for valid information.D. To be careful when using the information from Wikipedia.33. Which of the following is true about the Jelly Belly Bean Company?A. Three meals are prepared for you.B. It lies to the north of San Francisco.C. You have to spend some money visiting it.D. It is open every day.34. If a five-year-old boy and his parents visit Louisville Slugger Baseball Bat Museum, theyhave to pay _______.A. $22B. $13C. $17D. $1835. The factory tour this winter involves _______.A. politics, economics, science and cultureB. diet, sports, traffic and artC. history, literature, education and customD. health, invention, astronomy and car第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分, 满分10分)依照短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AOne day, I received a call from a colleague. He was about to give a student a zero for his answer to a physical problem, while the student claimed a perfect score. I was elected as their arbiter（仲裁人）. I read the examination problem: “Show how it is possibl e to determine the height of a tall building with the aid of a barometer（气压计）. ”The student had answered; "Take the barometer to the top of the building, attach a long rope to it, lower it to the street, and then bring it up, measuring the length of the rope. The length of it is the height of the building.”The student had really answered the question completely, but the answer didn't confirm his competence in physics. I suggested the student try again. I gave him six minutes to answer the question, warning that the answer should show some knowledge of physics. Five minutes later, he said he had many answers and dashed off one, which read：“Take the barometer to the top of the building and lean over the edge of the roof. Drop the barometer, timing its fall with a stopwatch. Then, use the physical formula（公式）to calculate the height of the building.”At this point, my colleague had to accept it, and then the student made almost full marks.I couldn't help asking the student what the other answers were. He listed many others, and then added, "Probably the best is to take the barometer to the administrator and said to him, ‘Sir, here is a fine barometer. If you tell me the height of the building, I will give it to you.”, Then, I asked the student if he really did not know the conventional answer to this question. He admitted that he did, but said that he was fed up with high school and college instructors trying to teach him how to think.The name of the student was Bohr who later was famous all over the world. He won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1922.1. The student got a zero at the beginning because _____.A. the teacher wasn't satisfied with himB. his answer wasn't complete or correctC. the teacher didn't fully understand his answerD. his answer didn't show his knowledge of physics2. We know from the passage that _____.A. the student knew the expected answerB. the administrator told Bohr the heightC. the author preferred Bohr's last answerD. the teacher was a very stubborn person3. We can learn from the passage that _____.A. instructors can teach students how to thinkB. arbiters can help students to get high scoresC. students should be given more freedom in thinkingD. teachers should make students use physical formulas4. What was Bohr's attitude toward his schooling?A. OptimisticB. CriticalC. ApprovingD. NeutralBRecordings 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 farmer’s 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 farmer to go to the trouble of setting up beehives on theirfarms, 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 pre-recorded 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 te sted 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.5. We know from the passage that elephants may be frightened of .A. loud noisesB. some cropsC. video camerasD. angry bees6. 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 farms7. 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.8. 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.CProudly reading my words, I glanced around the room, only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had slaved over, hoping to hide myself. “What could be causing everyone to act this way?”Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the first real talk I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America.I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice; flip (掷) a coin. Heads—the commander, and tails—the peanuts guy. Ah! Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started th e American Revolution.” The whole world became quite! How could I know that she meant that George Washington?Obviously, my grade was awful. Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No re-dos; no new grade. I felt that the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance. Consequently, I threw myself heartilyinto my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster’s office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet!9. What did the author’s classmates think about his report?A. interestingB. ridiculous.C. boring.D. puzzling.10. Why was the author confused about the task?A. He was unfamiliar with American history.B. He followed the advice and flipped a coin.C. He forgot his teacher’s instruction.D. He was new at the school.11. The underlined word “burning” in Para. 3 probably means _______.A. annoyedB. ashamedC. readyD. eager12. In the end, the author turned things around _______.A. by redoing his taskB. through his own effortsC. with the help of his grandfatherD. under the guidance of his headmasterDI believe that my country，Poland，is a perfect example for a place where food is particularly important. When we were little children, we began to understand how much a loaf of bread meant to our parents—to some it might sound silly but for me the custom of kissing bread before you started cutting it was simply amazing. It’s not so common nowadays to treat food that way，since you hardly ever bake your own bread. Besides, everyone would call you crazy if you tried to kiss every bread roll before you ate them! But though we no longer make our food from scratch (起点), some customs have been kept—that’s why I feel so sorry every time I have to throw any food away—even though I no longer live with my parents and nobody would blame me for this anymore!Many people of our nation are still working as farmers, eating what they grow and harvest and therefore enjoying everything more. It’s widely known that you value more anything that needs your effort in the first place. In most homes in Poland, especially those of farmers, the whole family would try and have their meals together—extremely difficult now, but so rewarding! You can share other members’ troubles and successes, give your children some attention, or just sit down for a moment, instead of rushing through life aimlessly. Furthermore, your body，and stomach in particular will be very grateful for such a time!In Poland, a wedding，Christmas or even a birthday is celebrated with a great meal. Women in the house get together and cook ,sometimes for a few days before the event，and the extremely good or unusual food will be remembered and widely talked about.You cannot over-value the importance of food in the country. What’s more, almost everyone in Poland will be as interested in the topic as I am.13. When the writer was a child, he/she _______.A. found people were crazy about breadB. began to realize the importance of foodC. thought that cutting bread was amazingD. learned people hardly baked their own bread14. The writer feels very sorry when he/she has to throw away any food because___________.A. he/she makes food from scratchB. his/her parents would blame him/herC. some customs still have effect on him/herD. many people are still working hard as farmers15. From the text, we can learn that, in Poland, ________.A. most meals can be interesting topics for a long timeB. the whole family often have meals together nowadaysC. it’s common for women to get together to cook for a few daysD. family members can know more about each other by having meals together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。

AHere is a collection of some of the eccentric(古怪的)laws in the world. We can laugh , we can gasp, we can only wonder……1. Think before you chewIn Singapore, chewing gum is prohibited. This rule was introduced because of the high cost and difficulty in removing stuck chewing gum from public premises. In particular, chewing gum stuck on the Mass Rapid Transit train doors stopped the train from moving. It happened a few times and those were a few times too many.2. Lighten upDrivers in Denmark are supposed to drive ve hicles with their headlights on. You’d think this law would apply to night driving but it doesn’t . It is considered essential during the day as well or they may face a fine of up to ﹩100.Studies have shown that this has helped a lot to avoid road accidents in Denmark.3. To fail﹥to jailIn Bangladeshi, children 15 and older can be put in jail for cheating on their final examinations. Every year, Bangladeshi government takes strong measures to stop cheating and carries out a massive media campaign to forewarn students through print and television.4.Sue(控告) them pants!In France, it is still against the law for women to wear pants. The law reportedly has been on the books since 1800. It was amended several times: once in 1892 to allow women to sport trousers while riding horses and again in 1909 to permit the ladies to wear pants while on bicycles.5. The law with a flawIn Georgia no bicycle shall be equipped, modified, or altered in such a way as to cause the pedal in its lowermost position to be more than 12 inches above the ground, nor shall any bicycle be operated if so equipped . The question is :Who would ride such a bike?6. One Two Three Go!In Massachusetts at a wake(守丧),mourners may eat no more than three sandwiches. It is one of those laws that was written in books and never removed since then. Bad manners, one might consider it, but in Massachusetts it is a criminal offense.21. How many laws are mentioned in the passage?A . TwoB .Three C. Six D. Five22. In which country is chewing gum not allowed ?A. SingaporeB. AmericaC. FranceD. China23. Which is Not true according to the passage ?A. In Bangladesh, children 15 and younger can be put in jail for cheating.B. In Georgia no bicycle shall be equipped .C. In France it is still against the law for women to wear pants.D. Drivers in Denmark are supposed to drive vehicles with their headlights on.BNot all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences in nightmares.Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly wipe out, the effect of painful memories.In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France . The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced , not that the memories are wiped out . They are not sure to what degree people’s memories are affected.The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers’ troubling memories after war.They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.“Some memories can ruin people’s lives. They come back to you when you don’t want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions,” said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. “T his could relieve a lot of that suffering.”But those who are against the research say that maybe the pills can change people’s memories and changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity. They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.“All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were terrible at the time but make us who we are . I’m not sure we want to wipe those memories out.” Said Rebcca Dresser , a medical ethicist.24.The passage is mainly aboutA. a new medical inventionB. a new research on the pill -C. a way of wiping out painful memoriesD. an argument about the research on the pill25. The drug tested on people canA. cause the brain to fix memoriesB. stop people remembering bad experiencesC. prevent body producing certain chemicalsD. wipe out the emotional effect of memories26.We can infer from the passage thatA. people doubt the effect of the pillsB. the pills will certainly stop people’s emotional memoriesC. taking the pill will do harm to people’s physical healthD. the pill has already been produced and used by the public in the US27. Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with in the last paragraph?A. Some memories c an ruin people’s lives.B. People want to get rid of bad memories .C. Experiencing bad events makes us different from others.D. The pill will reduce people’s sufferings from bad memories.CWith around 100 students scheduled to be in that 9:00 am Monday morning lecture, it is no surprise that almost 20 people actually make it to the class and only 10 of them are still awake after the first 15 minutes; it is not even a surprise that most of them are still in their pyjamas(睡衣). Obviously, students are terrible at adjusting their sleep cycles to their daily schedule.All human beings possess a body clock. Along with other alerting(警报) systems, this governs the sleep/wake cycle and is therefore one of the main processes which govern sleep behaviour. Typically, the preferred sleep/wake cycle is delayed in adolescents, which leads to many students not feeling sleepy until much later in the evenings. This typical sleep pattern is usually referred to as the “night owl” schedule of sleep.This is opposed to t he “early bird” schedule, and is a kind of disorder where the individual tends to stay up much past midnight . Such a person has great difficulty in waking up in the mornings. Research suggests that night owls feel most alert and function best in the evenings and at night. Research findings have shown that about 20 percent of people can be classified as “night owls” and only 10 percent can be classified as “early birds” ——the other 70 percent are in the middle. Although this is clearly not true for all students, for the ones who are true night owls this gives them an excellent excuse for missing their lectures which unfortunately fall before midday.28. What does the author stress in Paragraph 1 ?A. Many students are absent from class.B. Students are very tired on Monday mornings.C. Students do not adjust their sleep patterns well.D. Students are not well prepared for class on Mondays.29. Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2?A . Most students prefer to get up late in the morning.B. S tudents don’t sleep well because of alerting systems.C .One’s body clock governs the sleep/wake cycle independently.D. Adolescents’ delayed sleep/wake cycle isn’t the preferred pattern.30. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined w ord “classified”?A. CriticizedB. GroupedC. OrganizedD. Named31. What does the text mainly talk about?A. Functions of the body clock.B. The “night owl” phenomenon.C. Human beings’ sleep behaviour.D. The school schedule of “early birds”.DThe surprising experiment I am about to describe proves that air is all around you and that it presses down upon you. Air pressure is a powerful force. When you swim underwater, you can feel water pushing on your body. The air all around you does the same. However, your body is so used to it that you do not notice this. The pressure is caused by a layer of air called the atmosphere. This layer surrounds the Earth, extending to about five kilometers above the Earth’s surface.The following experiment is an easy one that you can do at home. But make sure that you are supervised, because you will need to use matches. Now for the experiment!What you need●A hard-boiled egg without the shell●A bottle with a neck slightly smaller than the egg●A pi ece of paper● A matchMethodCheck that the egg will sit firmly on the neck of the bottle.Tear the paper into strips and put the strips into the bottle.Light the paper by dropping a burning match into the bottle.Quickly sit the egg on the neck of the bottle.ResultAstonishingly, the egg will be sucked into the bottle. Your friends will be amazed when you show them the experiment. But be careful when you handle matches.Why it happenedAs the paper burns, it needs oxygen and uses up the oxygen(air) in the bottle. The egg acts as a seal in the neck of the bottle，so no more air can get inside. This reduces the air pressure inside the bottle. The air pressure must equalize, so more air from outside must enter the bottle. The outside air presses against the egg and then the egg is pushed into the bottle! This proves that air is all around and that it is pressing down on us.32. Why is there the need to take care when you are doing the experiment?A. The bottle could break.B. You need to light the paper with a match.C. The egg needs to be shelled.D. The egg has to be perfectly placed on the neck of the bottle.33. In the experiment, the burning inside the bottle can .A .equalize the air pressure inside and outsideB. make a seal in the neck of the bottleC. finish up the oxygen inside the bottleD. Produce more oxygen inside the bottle34. How did the egg get into the bottle?A. The oxygen inside the bottle sucked the egg in.B. It became soft without the shell.C. The neck of the bottle was wide enough.D. The outside air pressure forced it into the bottle.35. The experiment is carried out to prove .A. water pushes on your body when you swim underwaterB. the earth is surrounded by a layer of air called the atmosphereC. the pressure of air around us has a powerful forceD. the air pressure is not equalized around us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。

ADavid is an excellent student and he comes from New York. His family was there until he finished eighth grade. David had no choice but to sleep on park benches. Being alone on the streets was scary. One thing kept David going: his determination to do well in school.Even though many things were difficult in David’s life, one thing wa s going very well. David was accepted to a special high school called MC2STEM. It is a public school in Cleveland for kids who are extremely good at science. The school turned out a peaceful place for David. He especially enjoyed having the chance to learn by doing lots of projects.High school wasn’t easy. But David says that the school helped him set high standards for himself. Even when he didn’t have a place to stay at night, David kept his focus on his schoolwork.While he was homeless, David would sometimes sleep in the park during the day because it was safer. “ If you sleep in the daytime in the park, people won’t bother you,” he says. “you’re just taking a nap. It’s acceptable.” Then David would study through the night. He showered at a friend’s house when his friend’s parents were at work.All his hard work paid off. In May 2011, David graduated second in his high school class. He was accepted to 22 colleges. He also won a scholarship form the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. It will pay for all his college expenses.Last fall, David began attending Harvard University, one of the top colleges in the US. “I found the perfect school for me.” He wrote in his blog.In the future, David might look for a job at a company like Google.

Winning a ScholarshipBFour days a fter Dad’s 67th birthday, he had a heart attack. Luckily, he survived. But something inside him had died. His enthusiasm for life was gone. He refused to follow doctor’s orders, and his sour attitude made everyone upset when they visit him. Dad was left alone.So I asked Dad to come to live with me on my small farm, hoping the fresh air would help him adjust. Within a week after he moved in, I regretted the invitation. He criticized everything I did. I became frustrated. Something had to be done.One day I read an article which said when given dogs, depressed patients would be better off. So I drove to the animal shelter that afternoon. As soon as I got there, a pointer’s eyes caught my attention. They watched me calmly.A staff member said: “He got here two weeks ago and we’ve heard nothing. His time is up tomorrow.”I turned to the man in horror. “You mean you’re going to kill him?”“Ma’am,” he said gently. “We don’t have room for every unclaimed dog.”The pointer’s calm brown eyes awaited my decision. “I’ll take him,” I said.I drove home with the dog on the front seat beside me. I was helping it out of the car when Dad walked onto the front porch. “Look what I got you!” I said excitedly.Dad wrinkled his face. “I don’t want it,” he muttered, turning b ack towards the house. Then, suddenly, the dog pulled free from my grasp. He sat down in front of my Dad.Dad’s anger melted, and soon he was hugging the dog.This was the beginning of a warm friendship. Dad named the dog Cheyenne. Together they spent long hours walking down dusty lanes and relaxing on the banks of streams.Dad’s bitterness faded, and he and Cheyenne went on to make many friends. Then, late one night two years later, I felt Cheyenne’s cold nose burrowing (搜寻) through my bed covers. He ha d never before come into my bedroom at night. I ran into my father’s room and found that he had passed away.Two days later, my shock and grief deepened when I discovered Cheyenne lying dead beside Dad’s bed.

Believe it or not, there are some people who actually get paid to do that! According to Reuben Reynoso, a professional mattress（床垫）tester at San Francisco’s McRoskey Mattress Factory that still makes every mattress by hand, it is real work and needs some training. For a start, it’s not all about jumping to new heights or doing tricks like professional athletes, but rather about feeling each area of the mattress carefully to detect the filling. In order to do it right, every bit of the mattress has to be tested slowly and deliberately.Over the years, Reynoso has figured out the perfect routine. He begins by placing a protective mat over the mattress so that it doesn’t get dirty or absorb the smell from his feet. Then beginsthe fun---he steps to the middle of an edge and then takes five steps back and five steps forward. In this way, he slowly but surely, covers the entire surface. The key according to him is to find the perfect number of jumps---Too many and he will end up destroying the mattress completely. Too few? And it will not fit into the giant machine for that final sewing! Who knew a job that sounds so simple could have so many skills!While Reuben will not reveal how he got into this profession, he will admit that it is more fun than being a carpenter, roofer, construction worker and railroad engineer---all jobs he has tried previous to finding his true profession!32.

AIt's 10:30 pm, and 11-year-old Brandon Blanco is sound asleep at home. Suddenly, a loud noise wakes him up. Naturally, Brandon reaches for his cell phone. The message becomes clear: "R U awake?"Brandon' s use of technology doesn' t stop there. He also has a computer, a TV and three video-game consoles (控制台 ) in his room. With so many choices, it' s no surprise that when he isn' t at school, he spends nearly every waking minute using one or more of these devices.w w w .x k b Brandon is hardly alone. According to a recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation, kids aged 8 to18 are spending more time than ever before using electronic devices. How much time? More than seven and a half hours a day on average, th e study found.The jump is the result of a huge explosion in mobile devices, says Victoria Rideout, the lead author of the study. Today, nearly seven out of ten kids have cell phones. Just five years ago, it was four out of ten.Often, kids multitask, or use more than one device at a time. " If you’ve got a chance to do something on your computer and take a phone call and have the TV on in the background, why not?" media expert Cheryl Olson says.Most experts agree technology has much to offer kids. But some worry the kids could be missing out on other activities like playing outside or hanging out with friends. " It' s a matter of balance," says Olson." You’ve got to work on it. "Multitasking while doing homework is another concern. Some kids listen to music, watch TV or use the phone while doing their homework. "It' s important to make sure that you can stop and concentrate on one thing deeply, " says Rideout.With new and exciting devices hitting stores every year, keeping technology use in check is more important than ever. " Kids should try," adds Rideout. " But parents might have to step in sometimes. "21. Why do children spend more time in using electronic devices?A. Because electronic devices are more exciting than before.B. Because more electronic devices are available to them.C. Because they have less other activities.D. Because they have less homework to do.22. It is known from the passage that ____.A. Brandon Blanco feels very annoyed about his late-night textB. the teenagers using mobile devices have increased by 30% in the past five yearsC. most experts think teenagers should not use electronic devices for their studiesD. Cheryl Olson is not surprised about kids' increasing use of mobile devices23. Which of the following is an example of multitasking according to the passage?A. Playing video games on the Internet.B. Talking on the phone while staying with others.C. Watching TV while using the computer.D. Listening to music while relaxing.24. The underlined phrase "in check" in the last paragraph can be replaced by "____".A. in orderB. in controlC. in storeD. in sightBIt is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible．Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel．It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to haveone in the driver’s seat is another matter altogether.Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too．It takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving．On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting．A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and calm so necessary in modern traffic condition．But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough．Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous．Typical examples are the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may be not able to stop in time．The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to．It always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies (奶奶).An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings．Unfortunately, modern drivers can’t even learn to drive．Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road users．It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.25．According to the passage, troubles on the road are often caused by .A．road conditions B．the behavior of the driversC．the speed of modern life D．the large number of cars26．In the writer’s opinion, .A．unskillful drivers should be punishedB．strict traffic rules are badly neededC．drivers should show road politeness properlyD. drivers should avoid traffic jams27．The underlined word “give-and-take” in the passage means .A．politeness and impolitenessB．good manners and bad mannersC．willingness to give in to each other’s wishesD．offering help to others as much as possible28．What is the best title of the passage?A．Traffic Problems B．Road PolitenessC．Bad Manners on the Road D．Good Drivers and Bad DriversCClimate change，pollution，overuse of water and development are killing some of the world’s most famous rivers including China’s Yangtze．India’s Ganges and Africa’s Nile．WWF said on Tuesday．At the global launch of its report “World’s Top 10 Rivers at Risk”，the group said many rivers could dry out. affecting hundreds of millions of people and killing unique aquatic(水生的)life．“If these rivers die，millions will lose their livelihoods，biodiversity(生物多样性)will be destroyed on a massive scale，there will be less fresh water and agriculture，resulting in less food security，”said．Rayi Singh，secretary—general of WWF—India．The report,launched ahead of“World Water Day”today，alsocited the Rio Grande in．the United States，the Mekong and Indus in Asia，Europe’s Danube, La Plata in South America and Australia’s Murray—Darling as in need of greater protection．Rivers are the world’s main source of fresh water and WWF says about half of the available supply is already being used up．Dams have destroyed habitats and cut rivers off from their flood plains．while climate change could affect the seasonal water flows that feed them，the report said．Fish populations，the top source of protein and overall life support for hundreds of thousands of communities worldwide，are also being threatened, it found．The Yangtze basin is one of the most polluted rivers in the world because of decades of heavy industrialization，damming and huge influxes(流入)of seaiment(积淀)from land conversion.Climate change，including higher temperatures，also means serious consequences for fishery productivity，water supply and political security in Africa’s arid Nile basin．Tributaries(支流)flowing into the Ganges are drying up because of irrigation，WWF said．29．We can infer from the text that _____.A．higher temperatures couldn’t affect fishery productivityB．rivers’dying out could affect food securityC．there are four Asian rivers mentioned in the passageD．the Yangtze is polluted thanks to the lack of enough tributaries30．The top 10 rivers are fast dying as a result of the following EXCEPT _____.A. climate change B．pollution C．wasting water D．dams31．WWF is probably a name of _____.A．a magazine B．a newspaper C．an organization D．a reportDTwenty years ago, most experts believed that differences in how boys and girls behaved were mainly due to differences in how they were treated by their parents, teachers, and friends. It’s hard to cling to that belief today. Recent research has shown that there are biological differences between boys and girls. Understanding these differences is important in raising and educating children.For example, girls are born with more sensitive hearing than boys, and the difference increases as kids grow up. So when a grown man speaks to a girl in what he thinks is a normal voice, she may hear it as yelling. Conversely (反过来), boys who appear to be inattentive in class may just be sitting too far away too hear the teacher.Likewise, girls are better in their expression of feelings. Studies reveal that negative emotions are seated in an area of the brain called the amygdala. Girls develop all early connection between this area and the cerebral cortex (大脑皮层), enabling them to talk about their feelings. In boys these links develop later. So if you ask a troubled adolescent boy to tell you what his feelings are, he often cannot say much.Dr. Sax, an advocate of single-sex education, points out that keeping boys and girls separate in the classroom has yielded striking educational, social, and interpersonal benefits. Therefore, parents and teachers should try to recognize, understand, and make use of the biological differences that make a girl a girl, and a boy a boy.32．What is the main idea of the passage?A. Boys tend to pay less attention in class than girls.B. Girls are better than boys in their ability to detect sounds.C. Single-sex schools are not good because they keep boys and girls separate.D. Boys and girls behave differently because of biological differences.33．Why do girls express negative feelings better than boys?A. Girls are more emotional than boys.B. The links between certain parts of the brain develop earlier in girls than in boys.C. The amygdala is located in different areas of the brain for boys and girls.D. Girls have more brain cells than boys.34．Which of the following does the author believe?A. Boys and girls should be educated in different ways.B. Girls need more training in communication.C. Parents should pay more attention to boys.D. Sex differences should be ignored in education。

AHere is a collection of some of the eccentric(古怪的)laws in the world. We can laugh , we can gasp, we can only wonder……1. Think before you chewIn Singapore, chewing gum is prohibited. This rule was introduced because of the high cost and difficulty inremoving stuck chewing gum from public premises. Inparticular, chewing gum stuck on the Mass Rapid Transit train doors stopped the train from moving. It happened a few times and those were a few times too many.2. Lighten upDrivers in Denmark are supposed to drive vehicles with their headlights on. You’d think this law would apply tonight driving but it doesn’t . It is considered essential during the day as well or they may face a fine of up to ﹩100.Studies have shown that this has helped a lot to avoidroad accidents in Denmark.3. To fail﹥to jailIn Bangladeshi, children 15 and older can be put in jail for cheating on their final examinations. Every year, Bangladeshi government takes strong measures to stop cheating and carries out a massive media campaign to forewarn students through print and television.4.Sue(控告) them pants!In France, it is still against the law for women to wear pants. The law reportedly has been on the books since 1800. It was amended several times: once in 1892 to allow women to sport trousers while riding horses and again in 1909 to permit the ladies to wear pants while on bicycles.5. The law with a flawIn Georgia no bicycle shall be equipped, modified,or altered in such a way as to cause the pedal in its lowermost position to be more than 12 inches above the ground, nor shall any bicycle be operated if so equipped . Thequestion is :Who would ride such a bike?6. One Two Three Go!In Massachusetts at a wake(守丧),mourners may eatno more than three sandwiches. It is one of those laws that was written in books and never removed since then. Bad manners, one might consider it, but in Massachusetts it is a criminal offense.21. How many laws are mentioned in the passage?A . TwoB .Three C. Six D. Five22. In which country is chewing gum not allowed ?A. SingaporeB. AmericaC. FranceD. China23. Which is Not true according to the passage ?A. In Bangladesh, children 15 and younger can be put injail for cheating.B. In Georgia no bicycle shall be equipped .C. In France it is still against the law for women towear pants.D. Drivers in Denmark are supposed to drive vehicles with their headlights on.BNot all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences in nightmares.Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly wipe out, the effect of painful memories.In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France . The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced , not that the memories are wiped out . They are not sure to what degree people’s memories are affected.The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers’ troubling memories after war.They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.“Some memories can ruin people’s lives. They come back to you when you don’t want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They u sually come with very painful emotions,” said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. “This could relieve a lot of that suffering.”But those who are against the research say that maybe the pills can change people’s memories a nd changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity. They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.“All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were terrible at the time but make us who we are . I’m not sure we wa nt to wipe those memories out.” Said Rebcca Dresser , a medical ethicist.24.The passage is mainly aboutA. a new medical inventionB. a newresearch on the pill -C. a way of wiping out painful memoriesD. an argument about the research on the pill25. The drug tested on people canA. cause the brain to fix memoriesB. stop people remembering bad experiencesC. prevent body producing certain chemicalsD. wipe out the emotional effect of memories26.We can infer from the passage thatA. people doubt the effect of the pillsB. the pills will certainly stop people’s emotional memoriesC. taking the pill will do harm to people’s physical healthD. the pill has already been produced and used bythe public in the US27. Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agreewith in the last paragraph?A. Some memories can ruin people’s lives.B. People want to get rid of bad memories .C. Experiencing bad events makes us different from others.D. The pill will reduce people’s sufferings from bad memories.CWith around 100 students scheduled to be in that 9:00 am Monday morning lecture, it is no surprise that almost 20 people actually make it to the class and only 10 of them are still awake after the first 15 minutes; it is not even a surprise that most of them are still in their pyjamas(睡衣). Obviously, students are terrible at adjusting their sleep cycles to their daily schedule.All human beings possess a body clock. Along with other alerting(警报) systems, this governs the sleep/wake cycle and is therefore one of the main processes which govern sleep behaviour. Typically, the preferred sleep/wake cycle is delayed in adolescents, which leads to many students notfeeling sleepy until much later in the evenings. This typical sleep pattern is usually referred t o as the “night owl” schedule of sleep.This is opposed to the “early bird” schedule, and is a kind of disorder where the individual tends to stay up much past midnight . Such a person has great difficulty in waking up in the mornings. Research suggests that night owls feel most alert and function best in the evenings and at night. Research findings have shown that about 20 percent of people can be classified as “night owls” and only 10 percent can be classified as “early birds” ——the other 70 percent are in the middle. Although this is clearly not true for all students, for the ones who are true night owls this gives them an excellent excuse for missing their lectures which unfortunately fall before midday.28. What does the author stress in Paragraph 1 ?A. Many students are absent from class.B. Students are very tired on Monday mornings.C. Students do not adjust their sleep patterns well.D. Students are not well prepared for class on Mondays.29. Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2?A . Most students prefer to get up late in the morning.B. Students don’t sleep well because of alerting systems.C .One’s body clock governs the sleep/wake cycle independently.D. Adolescents’ delayed sleep/wake cycle isn’t the preferred pattern.30. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “classified”?A. CriticizedB. GroupedC. OrganizedD. Named31. What does the text mainly talk about?A. Functions of the body clock.B. The “night owl” phenomenon.C. H uman beings’ sleep behaviour.D. The school schedule of “early birds”.DThe surprising experiment I am about to describe proves that air is all around you and that it presses down upon you. Air pressure is a powerful force. When you swim underwater, you can feel water pushing on your body. The air all around you does the same. However, your body is so used to it that you do not notice this. The pressure is caused by a layer of air called the atmosphere. This layer surrounds the Earth, extending to about five kilometers above the Earth’s surface.The following experiment is an easy one that you can do at home. But make sure that you are supervised, because you will need to use matches. Now for the experiment!What you need●A hard-boiled egg without the shell●A bottle with a neck slightly smaller than the egg●A piece of paper● A matchMethodCheck that the egg will sit firmly on the neck of the bottle.Tear the paper into strips and put the strips into the bottle.Light the paper by dropping a burning match into the bottle. Quickly sit the egg on the neck of the bottle.ResultAstonishingly, the egg will be sucked into the bottle. Your friends will be amazed when you show them the experiment. But be careful when you handle matches.Why it happenedAs the paper burns, it needs oxygen and uses up the oxygen(air) in the bottle. The egg acts as a seal in the neck of the bottle，so no more air can get inside. This reduces the air pressure inside the bottle. The air pressure mustequalize, so more air from outside must enter the bottle. The outside air presses against the egg and then the egg is pushed into the bottle! This proves that air is all around and that it is pressing down on us.32. Why is there the need to take care when you are doing the experiment?A. The bottle could break.B. You need to light the paper with a match.C. The egg needs to be shelled.D. The egg has to be perfectly placed on the neck of the bottle.33. In the experiment, the burning inside the bottlecan .A .equalize the air pressure inside and outsideB. make a seal in the neck of the bottleC. finish up the oxygen inside the bottleD. Produce more oxygen inside the bottle34. How did the egg get into the bottle?A. The oxygen inside the bottle sucked the egg in.B. It became soft without the shell.C. The neck of the bottle was wide enough.D. The outside air pressure forced it into the bottle.35. The experiment is carried out to prove .A. water pushes on your body when you swim underwaterB. the earth is surrounded by a layer of air called the atmosphereC. the pressure of air around us has a powerful forceD. the air pressure is not equalized around us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。

AAccording to the US government, wind farms off the Pacific coast could produce 900 gigawatts of electricity every year. Unfortunately, the water there is far too deep for even the tallest windmills to touch bottom. An experiment under way off the coast of Norway, however, could help put them anywhere.The project, called Hywind, is the world’s first large-scale deepwater wind turbine (涡轮发电机). Although it uses a fairly standard 152-ton, 2. 3-megawatt turbine, Hywind represents totally new technology. The turbine will be fixed 213 feet above the water on a floating spar, a technology Hywind’s creator, the Norwegian company StatoilHydro, has developed recently. The steel spar, which is filled with stones and goes 328 feet below the sea surface, will be tied to the ocean floor by three cables ; these will keep the spar stable and prevent the turbine from moving up and down in the waves. Hywind’s stability in the cold and rough sea would prove that even the deepest corners of the ocean are suitable for wind power. If all goes according to the plan, the turbine will start producing electricity six miles off the coast of southwestern Norway as early as September.To produce electricity on a large scale, a commercial wind farm will have to use bigger turbines than Hywind does, but it’s difficult enough to balance such a large turbine so high on a floating spar in the middle of the ocean. To make that turbine heavier, the whole spar’s center of gravity must be moved much closer to the ocean’s surface. To do that, the company plans to design a new kind of wind turbine, one whose gearbox (变速箱) sits at sea level rather than behind the blades.Hywind is a test run, but the benefits for perfecting floating wind-farm technology could be extremely large. Out at sea, the wind is often stronger and steadier than close to shore, where all existing offshore windmills are planted. Deep-sea farms are invisible from land, which helps overcome the windmill-as-eyesore objection. If the technology catches on, it will open up vast areas of the plan et’s surface to one of the best low-carbon power sources available.1. The Hywind project uses totally new technology to ensure the stability of .A. the cables which tie the spar to the ocean floorB. the spar which is floating in deep-sea waterC. the blades driven by strong and steady sea windD. the stones filled in the spar below the sea surface2.To balance a bigger turbine high on a floating spar, a new type of turbine is to be designed with its gearbox sitting .A. on the sea floorB. on the spar topC. at sea levelD. behind the blades3. Wide applications of deepwater wind power technology can .A. solve the technical problems of deepwater windmillsB. make financial profits by producing more turbinesC. settle the arguments about environmental problemsD. explore low-carbon power resources available at seaBMark and his brother Jason both were looking at the shining new computer enviously. Jason was determined not to go against their father's wishes but Mark was more adventurous than his brother. He loved experimenting and his aim was to become a scientist like his father.“Dad will be really mad if he finds out you've been playing with his new computer.”Jason said，“He told us not to touch it.”“He won't find out，” Mark said，“I'll just have a quick look and shut it down.”Mark had been scolded before for touching his father's equipment. But his curiosity wasdifficult to control and this new computer really puzzled him.It was a strangelooking machine—one his dad had brought home from the laboratory where he worked.“It's an experimental model，” his father had explained，“so don't touch it under any circumstances.” But his father's warning only served to make Mark more curious. Without any further thought，Mark turned on the power switch. The computer burst into life and seconds later，the screen turned into colors，shifting and changing and then two big white words appeared in the center of the screen：“SPACE TRANSPORTER.”“Yes！” Mark cried excitedly，“It's a computer game. I knew it！Dad's only been pretending to work. He's really been playing games instead.” A new message appeared on the screen：“ENTER NAMESVOYAGER 1：...VOYAGER 2：...”Mark's fingers flew across the keyboard as he typed in both of their names.“INPUT ACCEPTED.START TRANSPORT PROGRAM. AUTORETRIEVE INITIATED(自动回收程序已启动)．” The screen turned even brighter and a noise suddenly rose in volume.“I think we'd better shut it off，Mark，” Jason yelled，reaching for the power switch. He was really frightened.But his hand never reached the switch. A single beam of dazzling white light burst out of the computer screen，wrapping the boys in its glow(光芒)，until they themselves seemed to be glowing. Then it died down just as suddenly as it had burst into life. And the boys were no longer there. On the screen，the letters changed.“TRANSPORT SUCCESSFUL.DESTINATION: MARS.RETRIEVE DATE：2025.”4．Why did Mark touch the computer against his father's warning?A．He wanted to take a voyage. B．He wanted to practice his skill.C．He was so much attracted by it. D．He was eager to do an experiment. 5．Where did the boys' father most likely work?A．In an electronic factory. B．In a computer company.C．In a scientific research center. D．In an information processing center. 6．Mark thought “SPACE TRANSPORTER” on the screen was the name of ________.A．a computer game B．a company websiteC．a software producer D．an astronomy program7．Why did Jason want to shut off the computer?A．He was afraid of being scolded.B．He didn't like the loud noise and light.C．He didn't want to play games any more.D．He was afraid something dangerous might happen.CResearchers from France and Italy discovered that Canadian parents are less strict with their children than mothers and fathers in France and Italy.“Our most important finding was the difference between Canadians and the others，” said Professor Michel Claes，the lead author of the study.“Canadians focus on independence and negotiation. On the other hand，Italians，for example，exercise more control. We found Canadians seem to focus on negotiation in case of a conflict.”Claes said Canada，France and Italy were selected for the study because they share important cultural and social factors.“We chose FrenchCanadians because they share the same language as France，and originally came from France and share certain values. Italy was included because it was considered to have similar，strong and important family values，” he explained.The researchers examined the emotional ties between parents and their children by questioning 1,256 students aged 11 to 19 years old.Canadian students reported less control and more free actions，according to the study. Italian parents were stricter and French parents were somewhere in the middle.Claes explains that the differences lie in education in Canada，France and Italy.“North America has its own educational values，which promote individualization. Tolerance and comprehension are encouraged. Italy，on the other hand，promotes respect of authority，control，and the need for permission.” he said.Children from all three countries described their mothers as warm and communicative. Italian and Canadian children had similar feelings about their fathers，and reported high levels of emotional ties. But French fathers were generally thought by their children to be more distant and cold.“We were surprised by this，” Claes admitted.“It seems as though the relationships between French mothers and their children were becoming closer over time，while fathers maintain a form of distance and coldness，which is more of a source of conflict in France than in the other countries.”8．Professor Michel Claes believes that Canada，France and Italy ________.A．have the same family spiritB．have some similar cultural traditionsC．have experienced some similar social changesD．have experienced similar cultural developments9．How did the researchers carry out the study ?A．By collecting answers of parents from Canada，France and Italy.B．By collecting answers of children from Canada，France and Italy.C．By questioning parents and their children from Italian Canadian families.D．By questioning children from FrenchCanadian families.10. According to Michel Claes，what mainly leads to the differences in parentchildrenrelationships among Canada，France and Italy?A．Educational opportunities. B．Traditional ideas.C．Educational values. D．Historical events.11．Which of the following is NOT a finding of the study?A．French children have troubled relationships with their parents.B．Canadian children have close relationships with their parents.C．Italian children have good relationships with their parents.D．Kids from Canada，France and Italy have closer ties with their moms.DAn idea that started in Seattle's public library has spread throughout America and beyond. The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time.In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit (追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched (发起）the "If All of Seattle Read the Same Book " project in 1998. Her original program used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hong Kong.In Chicago, the mayor appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the "One Book, One Chicago" program. As a result, reading clubs and neighborhood groups sprang up around the city. Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character.The only problem arose in New York ,where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity(一致）can be achieved .Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point ,putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself.Ultinatelas Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process, or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word.12. What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?A. To invite authors to guide readers.B. To encourage people to read and share.C. To involve people in community service.D. To promote the friendship between cities.13. Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the project?A .They had little interest in reading.B. They were too busy to read a book.C. They came from many different backgroundsD. They lacked support from the local government14. According to the passage, where would the project be more easily carried out?A. In large communities with little sense of unityB. In large cities where libraries are far from homeC. In medium-sized cities with a diverse populationD. In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached15. According to Nancy, the degree of students of the project is judged byA. the careful selection of a proper bookB. the growing popularity of the writersC. the number of people who benefit from reading.D. the number of books that each person reads.第二节七选五填空 (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。

AIn May, 2014, some Chinese tourists found a Chinese-character message “Ding Jinha o once visited here〞 on a statue of god in a 3500-year-old Egyptian temple. An angry tourist took the photograph of the scrawl and posted it on social media Sina Weibo. It was quickly spread and there were more than 100,000 comments during two weeks. Later, a 15-year-old Chinese boy was searched out as the person who caved this message. Many netizens expressed their anger and disappointment for the uncivilized behavior. They searched and identified the boy and then posted his personal information including the address and pictures online.Over the weekend, his school’s website was hacked, and reporters flooded into his home in the city of Nanjing. Besieged by reporters, the child’s mother offered a formal apology for her son’s behavior. “We want to apolo gize to the Egyptian people and to people who have paid attention to this case across China.〞the boy’s mother told the local newspaper.With China’s economy booming over the past decades, a growing number of the country’s residents have become global tourists. Earlier this month, Chinese Vice Premier Wang Yang addressed: “Uncivilized behavior of some of tourists is giving this country a bad reputation abroad.〞 The discussion about Chinese quality was carried out on many media.On the bright side, Egypt government described the damage to the temple as superficial〔外表的〕and could be restored and they would forgive the boy. While the act of Ding Jinhao symbolizes a national shame, meanwhile, many people concern about the child’s development and wish he could ret urn to anonymity once more. “The boy has known his mistake and cried all night. He has to be moved around because reporters rushes to his house for interviews.〞 said a reporter who talked with the parents.21. The passage is mainly about ________.A.

Hundreds of thousands of netizens sang high praise for him online, showing their respect to the leading authority in remot e sensing field. Following Li Xiaowen’s last wish, his family held a simple funeral for him, while many admirers from all over the country came to the funeral for remembrance. Some national leaders including Premier Li Keqiang also sent a wreath.Li was a professor at BeijingNormalUniversity and an academician of the ChineseAcademy of Sciences. His research achievements have advanced the development of remote sensing science, and made China one of the leaders in this field. He also received several famous science prizes from China. He published 1,878 essays on his blog since 2007. All his students have thumbed up to Li for his contributions to the development of remote sensing. He was known to everyone in the remote sensing circle, but was impressive on netizens for a photo.In recent years, Professor Li’s quiet and self-effacing behavior was recognized through social media. In 2014, a photograph of Academician Li was taken by his student, in which he was attentively making a lecture with shabby clothes, grizzled hair and straggling beard, without socks, and wearing black cloth shoes. He looked like an old villager, rather than a famous scientist. The photo became popular on the Internet and earned him the title of the “Cloth Shoes Academician.〞 His simple plain image, kindness to all his students and dedication to his career are three important features on him. All these are precious to educational and academic community.“The society is changeable but Academician Li is quiet. He faced all stuff with his chara ctersof quietness and simplicity.

Then you eat some 3-D printed food and relax on your printed sofa. Perhaps you take a ride in a printed electric car to the hospital to get a printed tooth fitted.Though some of these things may seem impossible, they’re closer to reality than you might think. The world of 3-D printing is coming to a store near you soon.The idea of 3-D printing is to produce complicated shapes in a very personalized way. If you want to make a totally new object, you need to make a virtual design in a CAD〔computer aided design〕file first. Or you can use a 3-D scanner to make a digital copy of an object. Then, based on the design or copy, the 3-D printer makes paper-thin slices out of liquid, plastic, or metal and puts them together to create the object you want.There are many areas in which 3-D printing can change our lives. One such area is health care. Researchers have developed simple 3-D printed organs, which can be used in life-saving operations. A 17-year-old boy in the US has also recently developed a brain-powered, 3-D printed replacement hand. From heart monitors to fake limbs〔四肢〕, we can soon be living longer thanksto 3-D printed technology.Another area that 3-D technology looks sure to change is food. Can you imagine being able to print your favorite dishes at home at the touch of a button? Even big companies are behind the trend. Hersheys, one of the largest chocolate makers in the world, recently announced that it would start producing chocolate with the help of 3-D printers. NASA, the US space agency, has reportedly spent $125,000 〔767,594 yuan〕developing a “3-D pizza printer〞.It is not yet clear how long it will take until 3-D printers are available to everyone. But one thing is for sure: the possibilities are endless.28. The purpose of the first paragraph is to ________.A. list some major 3-D printing breakthroughsB. describe the characters of 3-D printingC. picture a future life with 3-D printingD. describe the benefits that 3-D printing has brought to our lives29. Compared with traditional manufacturing procedures, 3-D printing ________.A. isn’t practical in daily lifeB. relies less heavily on the use of 3-D scannersC. can produce complicated products in larger sizes or numbersD. has an advantage in meeting the personal needs30.

Feel a person in his eyesDMany Christmas customs are based on the birth of Christ, such as giving presents because of the Wise Men, who brought presents to the baby Jesus（耶稣）Singing Christmas carols is based on the scene of the birth with figures of shepherds, the Wise Men and animals surrounding the baby Jesus.The origin of Santa Claus begins in the 4th century with St. Nicholas, Bishop of Myra, an area in the present-day Turkey. By all accounts St. Nicholas was a generous man, particularly devoted to children. After his death around 340 A. D. he was buried in Myra, but in 1087 Italian sailors were believed to steal his remains and removed them to Italy, greatly increasing St. Nicholas’ popularity throughout Europe.His kindness and reputation for generosity gave rise to claims that he could perform miracles and devotion to him increased. St. Nicholas became the patron（保护神）saint of Russia, where he was known by his red cap, flowing white beard, and bishop’s mitre. In Greece, h e was the patron saint of sailors; in France, he was the patron of lawyers, and in Belgium, the patron of children and travelers. Thousands of churches across Europe were dedicated（供奉的）to him and sometime around the 12th century an official holiday was created in his honor. The Feast of St. Nicholas was celebrated on December 6 and the day was marked by gift-giving and charity.After the Reformation, European followers of St. Nicholas declined, but the legend was kept alive in Holland where the Dutch spelling of his name Sint Nikolass was eventually transformed to Sinterklaas. Dutch children would leave their wooden shoes by the fireplace, and Sinterklaas would reward good children by placing treats in their shoes. Dutch colonists brought this tradition with them to America in the 17th century and here the English name of Santa Claus appeared.32.Why, as is believed, is Santa Claus so popular in Europe?A. Because of his reputation for generosity.B. Because he died in Italy.C. Because of the deed of the Italian sailors.D. Because of his devotion to Italian children.33.What was the Feast of St. Nicholas held for?A. Celebrating Christ’s birthday.B. Giving thanks to churches.C. Marking a holiday.D. Honoring St. Nicholas.34.What does “Sinterklaas” in the last paragraph refer to?A. European followers.B. Santa Claus.C. Jesus.D. The Dutch.35.Which of the following can best describe Santa Claus?A. Generous, devoted and honored.B. Dedicated, kind and alive.C. Well-known, traditional and lovely.D. Popular, famous and creative.EHaving a happier life is something we all always struggle for.One of the key foundations of that is to be consistent in doing things that bring happiness. 36 Consider these 4 habits:1. Laugh in the middle of a busy day.It’s 3 pm on a Sunday afternoon and you’re desperate to leave, for school. On top of the homework, you’re running close to super important deadline. 37 Just take a moment to laugh. You should laugh more often, especially on a busy day.Measure your own successes based on your progress and only yours. 38. No one is better than any one else.3. Find time to work out regularly and eat well.Exercise can produce tons of feel-good hormones（荷尔蒙）.39 Feeding your body with whole and nutritious foods, on theother hand, can positively affect your body in both short and long term. Find time to schedule in a workout even if it’s only thirty minutes and do something you love. Eat well because foods can help you stay focused and more energized, and happier as a whole.4. End each day with gratitude.A. All of our lives are unique.B. Surround you with people who matter.C. Don’t blame everything not going your way.D. Try to think you are better than anyone else.E.

AEating too much fatty food, exercising too little and smoking can raise your future risk of heart disease. But there is another factor that can cause your heart problems more immediately: the air you breathe.Previous studies have linked high exposure (暴露）to environmental pollution to an increased risk of heart problem, but two analyses now show that poor air quality can lead to heart attack or stroke (中风）within as little as a few hours after exposure. In one review of the research, scientists found that people exposed to high levels of pollutants (污染物）were up to 5% more likely to suffer a heart attack within days of exposure than those with lower exposure. A separate study of stroke patients showed that even air that the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers to be of “moderate” (良好）quality and relatively safe for our health can raise the risk of stroke as much as 34% within 12 to 14 hours of exposure.The authors of both studies stress that these risks are relatively small for healthy people and certainly modest compared with other risk factors such as smoking and high blood pressure. However, it is important to be aware of these dangers because everyone is exposed to air pollution regardless of lifestyle choices. So stricter regulation by the EPA of pollutants may not only improve environmental air quality but could also become necessary to protect public health.1. The text mainly discusses the relationship between .A．heart problems and exercising B． heart problems and air qualityC．heart problems and smoking D．heart problems and fatty food2.

It houses a diverse collection of more than 2,300 examples of European art ranging from 13th-century religious paintings to more modern ones by Renoir and Van Gogh. The older collections of the gallery are reached through the main entrance while the more modern works in the East Wing are most easily reached from Trafalgar Square by a ground floor entrance. Layout:The modern Sainsbury Wing on the western side of the building houses 13th-to15th-century paintings, and artists include Duccio, Uccello, Van Eyck, Lippi, Mantegna, Botticelli and Memling. The main West Wing houses 16th-century paintings, and artists include Leonardo da Vinci, Cranach, Michelangelo, Raphael, Bruegel, Bronzino, Titan and Veronese.The North Wing houses 17th-century paintings, and artists include Caravaggio, Rubens, Poussin, Van Dyck, Velazquez, Claude and Vermeer.The East Wing houses 18th-to early 20th-century paintings, and artists include Canaletto, Goya, Turner, Constable, Renoir and Van GoghOpening Hours:The Gallery is open every day from 10am to 6pm (Fridays 10anm to 9pm) and is free, but charges apply to some special exhibitions.Getting There:Nearest underground stations: Charing Cross (2-minute walk), Leicester Square (3-minute walk), Embankment (7-minute walk), and Piccadilly Circus (8-minute wal9．In which century’s collection can you see religious paintings?A.

They could improve their classroom skills, like paying attention and following directions. People develop all these skills when they learn music. Making music also lets children use their imagination. It provides students with a chance to try out their own ideas.Music not only makes children better students, but also gives them something positive to do. In a music program, children can be part of a band instead of joining a gang (团伙). Parents can enjoy listening to their children's music instead of seeing them glued to a computer or TV screen. In a school band, students get to be part of a team. They can get along well with old friends and make new friends through music.Music builds self-confidence, too. It gives children a sense of achievement and success. Making music is something for them to be proud of, and it lets kids practice performing in front of an audience. Music gives children an opportunity for self-expression, and that helps develop their self-confidence.Once again, music is important because it can make children better students, give them something positive to do, and build their character. That is why music should be offered in every single grade in every school.12.According to the passage, music could make students smarter by _______________.A. improving their classroom skills and paying attentionB. improving their classroom skills and imaginationC. improving their attention, direction and imaginationD. learning music, making music and trying out their own ideas13.What does the underlined phrase "glued to" in the second paragraph mean?A. unwilling to turn onB. unwilling to leaveC. always lookingD. always playing14.The third paragraph mainly tells us that music could _______________.A. give children self-expression and self-confidenceB. bring to children achievement and successC. develop children's self-confidenceD. give children something to be proud of15.What's the best title of this passage？A. Music makes students much smarterB. Music builds children's self-confidenceC. Music is a must as a course at schoolD.

The laser beam scanner(激光扫描器) is the first device that can find the sometimes deadly disease without going inside the body. The test is painless, which does not need blood from a person, and appears to he right every time it is done.The newly developed device only needs a person to place a finger on a laser device. Doctor Dmitri Lopotko, a researcher at Rice University in Houston, Texas. "We shine with a laser beam scanner very short light pulse through the skin. And this light pulse is absorbed only by malaria parasites(寄生虫) because of the wavelength we use. And in response to this short light pulse, the parasite gradually explodes," he said.The light pulse comes from a low-powered laser. It has less power than a laser point. It shines on the hemozoin (疟原虫色素) which is produced by the malaria parasite once it has infected red blood cells. Hemozoin crystals （晶体） are not found in red cells that are not infected with malaria. As the crystals are heated by the laser, they create small bubbles inside inf'ected cells Doctor Lopotko says the bubbles exploded, and then make a sound that scientists can hear and count. "You can find just a few infected cells in a million normal cells," he said. Doctor Lopotko says when researchers tested the device, it was never wrong. And itwas able to find malaria infection early when treatment is very important.The device can be carried and uses its batteries. It costs about 10,000 t0 20,000 dollars t。

ABamboo (竹子) is one of nature’s (自然) most surprising plants. Many people call this plant a tree, but it is a kind of grass.Like other kinds of grass, a bamboo plant may be cut very low to the ground, but it will grow back very quickly. A Japanese scientist reported one bamboo plant which grew 1.5 metres (4 feet) in 24 hours! Bamboo grows almost everywhere in the world except Europe. There are more than 1, 000 kinds of bamboo.Not all bamboo looks the same. Some bamboo plants are very thin. They may only grow to be a few centimeters wide while others may grow to more than 30 centimetres (1 foot) across. This plant also comes in different colors, from yellow to black to green.Bamboo has been used to make many things such as hats and kitchen tools. Because it is strong, bamboo is also used to build buildings.Many Asian countries have used bamboo for hundreds of years. They often use bamboo for buildings and supporting new buildings and bridges while they are being built.In Africa, poor farmers are taught how to find water using bamboo. These African countries need cheap way to find water because they have no money, and their crops often die from no rain and no water. Bamboo pipes help poor farmers bring water to their thirsty fields without spending a lot of money.21．How is bamboo like grass?A. It grows quickly.B. It’s wood.C. It is easy to cutD. It is very thin22．Though you can see bamboo everywhere, it doesn’t grow ______.A. in ChinaB. in EuropeC. on mountainsD. in Africa23．Why is bamboo used by African poor farmers?A. Because it is cheap.B. Because it has different colors.C. Because it is strong.D. Because it has been used by Asians.24．Bamboo pipes can ______.A. make moneyB. be treesC. grow quicklyD. carry waterBIn a room at Texas Children Cancer Center in Houston, eight-year-old Simran Jatar lay in bed with a drip (点滴) above her to fight her bone cancer. Over her bald head, she wore a pink hat that matched her clothes. But the third grader’s cheery dressing didn’t mask her pain and weary eyes.Then a visitor showed up. “Do you want to write a song?” asked Anita Kruse, 49, rolling a cart equipped with an electronic keyboard, a microphone and speakers. Simran stared. “Have you ever written a poem?” Anita Kruse continued. “Well, yes,” Simran said.Within minutes, Simran was reading her poem into the microphone“Some bird soaring through the sky,” she said softly. “Imagination in its head…” Anita Kruse added piano music, a few warbling (鸣,唱) birds, and finally the girl’s voice. T hirty minutes later, she presented Simran with a CD of her first recorded song.That was the beginning of Anita Kruse’s project, Purple Songs Can Fly, one that has helped more than 125 young patients write and record songs. As a composer and pianist who had performed at the hospital, Kruse said that the idea of how she could help “came in one flash”.The effect on the kids has been great. One teenage girl, curling (蜷缩) in pain in herwheelchair, stood unaided to dance to a hip-hop song she had written. A 12-year-old boy with Hodgkin’s disease who rarely spoke surprised his doctors with a song he called I Can Make It.“My time with the kids is heartbreaking because of the severity of their illnesses,” says Anita Kruse. “But they also make you happy, when the children are smiling, excited to share their CD with their families.”Simran is now an active sixth grader and cancer-free. From time to time, she and her mother listen to her song, Always Remembering, and they always remember the “really sweet and nice an d loving” lady who gave them a shining moment in the dark hour.25．Simran Jatar lay in bed in hospital because ______.A. most of her hair had fallen outB. she was receiving treatment for cancerC. she felt depressed and quit from schoolD. she was suffering from a pain in her back26．What do we know about Anita Kruse’s project?A. It helps young patients record songs.B. It is supported by singers and patients.C. It aims to replace the medical treatment.D. It offers patients chances to realize their dreams.27．What does the case of a 12-year-old boy suggest?A. Most children are naturally fond of music.B. He was brave enough to put up performance.C. The project has positive effect on young patients.D. Singing is the best way to treat some illnesses.28．What is probably the best title for the passage?A. Purple Songs Can FlyB. Singing Can Improve HealthC. A Shining Moment in LifeD. A Kind Woman—Anita KruseCYour glasses may someday replace your smartphone, and some New Yorkers are ready for the switch. Some in the city can't wait to try them on and use the maps and GPS that the futuristic eyewear is likely to include.“I'd use it if I were hanging out with friends at 3 a. m. and going to the bar and wanted to see what was open,” said Walt er Choo, 40, of Fort Greene.The smartphone-like glasses will likely come out this year and cost between $250 and $600, the Times said, possibly including a variation of augmented(增强的) reality, a technology already available on smartphones and tablets (平板电脑) that overlays information onto the screen about one's surroundings. So, for example, if you were walking down a street, indicators would pop up showing you the nearest coffee shop or directions could be plotted out and come into view right on the sidewalk in front of you.“As far as a mainstream consumer product, this just isn't something anybody needs，” said Sam Biddle, who writes for . “We're accustomed to having one thing in our pocket to do all these things,” he added, “and the average co nsumer isn't gonna be able to afford another device (装置) that's hundreds and hundreds of dollars.”Google publisher Seth Weintraub, who has been reporting on the smartphone-like glasses since late last year, said he is confident that this type of wearable device will eventually be as common as smartphones.“It's just like smartphones 10 years ago,” Weintraub said. “A few people started getting emails on their phones, and people thought that was crazy. Same kind of thing. We see people bending their heads to look at their smartphones, and it's unnatural,” he said. “There's gonna be improvements to that, and this is a step there. "29．One of the possible functions of the smartphone-like glasses is to ____.A. program the opening hours of a barB. supply you with a picture of the futureC. provide information about your surroundingsD. update the maps and GPS in your smartphones30．The underlined phrase "pop up" in the third paragraph probably means " ____".A. develop rapidlyB. get round quicklyC. appear immediatelyD. go over automatically31．According to Sam Biddle, the smartphone-like glasses are ____.A. necessary for teenagersB. attractive to New YorkersC. available to people worldwideD. expensive for average consumers32．We can learn from the last two paragraphs that the smartphone-like glasses ____.A. may have a potential marketB. are as common as smartphonesC. are popular among young adultsD. will be improved by a new technologyDThe baby is just one day old and has not yet left hospital. She is quiet but alert（警觉）. Twenty centimeters from her face researchers have placed a white card with two black spots on it. She stares at it carefully. A researcher removes the card and replaces it by another, 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, with three black spots, is presented. Her gaze returns: she looks at it 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 slightly 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? No again. Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a screen when their number changed from two to three, or three to two. The effect even crosses between senses. Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats than when they heard just two; likewise（同样地）when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots.33．Babies are sensitive to the change in _______.A. the size of cardsB. the colour of picturesC. the shape of patternsD. the number of objects34．Why did the researchers test the babies with drumbeats?A. To reduce the difficulty of the experimentB. To see how babies recognize soundsC. To carry their experiment furtherD. To keep the babes interest.35．Where does this text probably come from?A. Science fictionB. Children’s literatureC. An advertisementD. A science report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。

ADavid is an excellent student and he comes from New York. His family was there until he finished eighth grade. David had no choice but to sleep on park benches. Being alone on the streets was scary. One thing kept David going: his determination to do well in school.Even though many things were difficult in David’s life, one thing was g oing very well. David was accepted to a special high school called MC2STEM. It is a public school in Cleveland for kids who are extremely good at science. The school turned out a peaceful place for David. He especially enjoyed having the chance to learn by doing lots of projects.High school wasn’t easy. But David says that the school helped him set high standards for himself. Even when he didn’t have a place to stay at night, David kept his focus on his schoolwork. While he was homeless, David would sometimes sleep in the park during the day because it was safer. “ If you sleep in the daytime in the park, people won’t bother you,〞he says. “you’re just taking a nap. It’s acceptable.〞 Then David would study through the night. He showered at a friend’s house when his friend’s parents were at work.All his hard work paid off. In May 2011, David graduated second in his high school class. He was accepted to 22 colleges. He also won a scholarship form the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. It will pay for all his college expenses.Last fall, David began attending HarvardUniversity, one of the top colleges in the US. “I found the perfect school for me.〞 He wrote in his blog.In the future, David might look for a job at a company like Google.

Winning a ScholarshipBFour days after Dad’s 67th birthday, he had a heart attack. Luckily, he survived. But something inside him had died. His enthusiasm for life was gone. He refused to follow doctor’s orders, and his sour attitude made everyone upset when they visit him. Dad was left alone.So I asked Dad to come to live with me on my small farm, hoping the fresh air would help him adjust. Within a week after he moved in, I regretted the invitation. He criticized everything I did. I became frustrated. Something had to be done.One day I read an article which said when given dogs, depressed patients would be better off. So I drove to the animal shelter that afternoon. As soon as I got there, a pointer’s eyes caught my attention. They watched me calmly.A staff member said: “He got here two weeks ago and we’ve heard nothing. His time is up tomorrow.〞I turned to the man in horror. “You mean you’re going to kill him?〞“Ma’am,〞he said gently. “We don’t have room for every unclaimed dog.〞The pointer’s calm brown eyes awaited my decision. “I’ll t ake him,〞 I said.I drove home with the dog on the front seat beside me. I was helping it out of the car when Dad walked onto the front porch. “Look what I got you!〞 I said excitedly.Dad wrinkled his face. “I don’t want it,〞 he muttered, turning back towards the house. Then, suddenly, the dog pulled free from my grasp. He sat down in front of my Dad.Dad’s anger melted, and soon he was hugging the dog.This was the beginning of a warm friendship. Dad named the dog Cheyenne. Together they spent long hours walking down dusty lanes and relaxing on the banks of streams.Dad’s bitterness faded, and he and Cheyenne went on to make many friends. Then, late one night two years later, I felt Cheyenne’s cold nose burrowing (搜寻) through my bed covers. He had never before come into my bedroom at night. I ran into my father’s room and found that he had passed away.Two days later, my shock and grief deepened when I discovered Cheyenne lying dead beside Dad’s bed.

Believe it or not, there are some people who actually get paid to do that! According to Reuben Reynoso, a professional mattress〔床垫〕tester at San Francisco’s McRoskey Mattress Factory that still makes every mattress by hand, it is real work and needs some training. For a start, it’s not all about jumping to new heights or doing tricks like professional athletes, but rather about feeling each area of the mattress carefully to detect the filling. In order to do it right, every bit of the mattress has to be tested slowly and deliberately.Over the years, Reynoso has figured out the perfect routine. He begins by placing a protective mat over the mattress so that it doesn’t get dirty or absorb the smell from his feet. Then begins the fun---he steps to the middle of an edge and then takes five steps back and five steps forward. In this way, he slowly but surely, covers the entire surface. The key according to him is to find the perfect number of jumps---Too many and he will end up destroying the mattress completely. Too few? And it will not fit into the giant machine for that final sewing! Who knew a job that sounds so simple could have so many skills!While Reuben will not reveal how he got into this profession, he will admit that it is more fun than being a carpenter, roofer, construction worker and railroad engineer---all jobs he has tried previous to finding his true profession!32.

The protective mat is used to ______.A. prevent the tester getting hurtB. keep the mattress as clean as possibleC. protect the mattress from being destroyedD. make the mattress fit into the sewing machine34.

We can learn from the text that Reynoso ______.A. has been injured several times in his workB. liked mattress jumping in his childhoodC. didn’t choose mattress testing as his first jobD. dreamt about becoming a jumping athlete第二节〔共5小题；每一小题2分，总分为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优选项。

AThe story all began with a simple announcement from the church wall one Sunday morning. LaSalle Street Church’s pastor, Laura Truax，told his 320 regular members that the church had recently received a large $ 1. 6 million profit in a real estate deal (房地产交易） and that she would set aside that amount by 10 percent to divide among her parishioners (教区居民).Each would get a $500 check to do something positive for someone, and someone could be the parishioners themselves. The money came with no conditions attached; parishioners did not have to provide proof of money spent. It just came with the hope that the money would be used for good.LaSalle’s congregation (集会）is racially and financially diverse; More than 60 percent of members have advanced degrees while about a third live a paycheck-to-paycheck life. Truax had no idea how her experiment would work. She only hoped that it would make her parishioners a part of the giving process and engage them in the church and in their community. So far, her idea seems to be paying off.Checks from LaSalle Street Church have been used to fund everything from swall international projects---including a school in the Himalayas, a health clinic in and an irrigation project in Tanzania---to help local families and friends in trouble. One congregant is helping to fund a skateboarding park in Amman, Jordaa, where he lived for many years. Another is using her money to start a scholarship foundation for local kids. Another has used her money to buy winter clothing for the kids at her daughter's school."1 hoped that they would recognize the power they had to bless others and change somebody's life, "Truax told Yahoo News. “I hoped that they would see their connection between their little piece and the bigger thing the church was called to21. Why did Laura Truax hand out some money to the church members?A. To help them to make & living.B. To encourage them to do a good deed.C. To reward them for their hard work.D. To employ them to repair the church.22. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that most people of LaSalle's congregation________ 。

ATime spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable, whether you are book-lover or only there to buy a book as a present. You may even have entered the shop just to find a shelter from a sudden shower. Whatever the reason is, you can soon be totally unaware of your surroundings. You soon become attracted in some books or others, and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spent too much time there and must dash off to keep some forgotten appointments.This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is the main attraction of a bookshop.A music shop is very much like a bookshop. You can wander round such a place to your heart’s content. If it is a good shop, no assistant will approach you with the greeting “Can I help you?〞You needn’t buy anything you don’t want. In a bookshop an assistant should remain in the back ground until you have finished reading. Then, and only then, are his services necessary.Once a medical student had to read a text book which was far too expensive for him to buy. He couldn’t obtain it from the library and the only copy he could find was in a certain bookshop. Every afternoon, therefore, he would go along to the shop and read a little of the book at a time. One day, however, he was disappointed to find the book missing from its usual place. He was about to leave, when he noticed the owner of the shop beckoning to him. Expecting to be told off, he went towards him. To his surprise, the owner pointed to the book which was tucked away in a corner. “I put it there in case anyone was tempted to buy it!〞 he said, and left the delighted student to continue his reading.21. According to the passage, the main attraction of a bookshop is ______ .A. the chance to get free from the realityB. learning something from the booksC. a shelter from a sudden showerD. the surrounding of books22. The writer thinks that the assistant in a bookshop should ______.A. greet customers pleasantly and warmlyB. not disturb the customers when they readC. help the readers to find what they wantD. not stay in the background all the time23. The purpose of writing the third paragraph is to_______.A. tell us a story about a bookshopB. teach us to read in shops without buying booksC. support the main idea of the passageD. teach us to help people whenever we canBThere are plenty of beauty schools throughout the country that can help you to start a career in cosmetology(美容业). Nowadays, young people may not be able to afford a four-year college. Students can look forward to attending a beauty school program which will only take a few months to complete and start their career right away to earn money.There can be many benefits of going to beauty school. The expense is much less than attending a four-year university. Besides, attending beauty school is mostly a hands-on(动手的) experience which appeals to many pe ople. Some students don’t like sitting all day listening to lectures and then having to study at night. What’s more, most beauty school programs keep up with the changing trends and fashion. So you will always be working on different hair types which can be fun and will give you a lot of experience throughout the years of your career.If you are worried about finding a job after graduation, many beauty schools will offer assistance for immediate job placement and give you peace of mind that you will not be stranded looking for a job. Most colleges and universities are not equipped to do that because of the large number of graduates each year.Cosmetologists will also make a good salary. The average salary will depend on your location, but you may earn a salary around $3,000 —$3,500 a month. This is not including tips which could be $600 or more a month.Not only can young people go to cosmetology school, but people of all ages can start this career. As you can see, there are many benefits of beauty schools that can be the perfect opportunity for anyone to become a great cosmetologist.24. How many advantages of going to beauty school are mentioned in Paragraph 2?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.25. The underlined word “stranded〞 in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by ______.A. focused onB. given upC. stuck inD. turned to26. What can be learnt from the passage?A. A cosmetologist gets paid at least $3,600 a month.B. Beauty schools are not popular with young people.C. Graduates can easily be offered jobs by universities.D. It isn’t suitable for the old to start a career in cosmetology.27. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. The development of cosmetologyB. How to become a cosmetologistC. The benefits of beauty schoolsD. Going to college or beauty schoolCIn many sports, physical contact(身体接触) is part of the game. But when athletes hit their heads, the hit can cause concussions(脑震荡).Concussions have long been a concern for professional athletes, but they’ve become more common among young players too. Between 2001 and 2009, the number of kids under 19 visiting doctors for concussions each year increased by 62 percent.Engineers are developing new helmets(头盔), and new rules are limiting physical contact in some sports. But are these efforts enough to protect kids’ brains?Concussions can happen during many types of activities. But sports like football and soccer are especially risky. When you run or jump, your body is moving at an increased speed. A sudden hit causes you to move faster in a different direction.“It’s like when you’re in a bus and it makes a sudden stop,〞 says Dr. Kevin Crutchfield, an expert at a sports concussion center in Baltimore, Maryla nd. “You hit the inside of the bus.〞 This hit damages the brain. It affects the way the brain functions. So some sports require athletes to wear helmets. Helmets help reduce the force of a hit. The hard outer shell spreads the force of larger area. Inside a helmet, a plastic or air-filled lining also helps soften the blow.Steve Rowson is an engineer at Virginia Tech. In his lab, he tests how helmets hold up against different types of hits. No helmet can prevent concussions completely, says Rowson. Bu t he’sfound that when wearing a newer football helmet, the player’s head doesn’t gain speed as much after a hit. That lowers the risk of concussions.Many youth sports teams have set limits on physical contact to reduce the risk of concussions. In soccer, most concussions happen as a result of headers—shots or passes made with the head. That’s why many people think kids shouldn’t head the ball until high school.These efforts should help, says Crutchfield. But the best way to prevent long-term brain injuries, he says, is to stop playing immediately if you suffer concussion. “Protect yourself today so you can play again tomorrow.〞28. Concussions among young players ______.A. are rare before 2001B. seem extremely worryingC. cause kids to lose interest in sportsD. are mostly caused by wearing no helmets29. The author mentions the sudden stop of the bus to _____.A. stress it’s dangerous to ride busesB. show human brains are easily damagedC. give a better explanation of concussionsD. remind people to wear helmets while playing sports30. What does Steve Rowson think of the newer football helmets?A. They vary a lot in size.B. They work better than the old ones.C. They slow down the player’s running speed.D. They allow the players to move their heads more freely.31. Dr. Crutchfield suggests that after receiving a concussion, young players should__.A. never head the ballB. avoid dangerous sportsC. play other kinds of sportsD. stop playing the sport for a whileDExhausted and unhappy, you still have to squeeze a smile to your friends, or teachers. That’s just life, you may think. But new research suggests that putting on a fake smile can worsenpeople’s mood and even lower work efficiency.Lead researcher Brent Scott with other researchers studied a group of bus drivers for two weeks. They tried to find out what happened when the drivers were involved in “surface acting〞or fake smiling, and the opposite, “deep acting〞 which means people put on real smiles by recalling pleasant memories or thinking about their current situation more positively.The results showed that on days when drivers were forced to smile, they felt depressed and didn’t want to work. On days when they smiled due to positive tho ughts, their mood improved a lot as well as their work efficiency.The research goes against the popular belief among companies that employees should be cheerful to customers at all times. They include employees of shops, banks, call center workers and others who have face-to-face contact with members of the public. “Smiling for the sake of(为了) smiling can lead to emotional exhaustion and coldness, and that’s bad for the organization,〞 Scott told the Daily Mail.The study also showed that women were harmed more by fake smiling than men. Their mood and work performance both worsened more. But they were helped more by deep acting —their mood became better and they worked more efficiently.However, while deep acting seemed to improve mood in the short term, S cott says it’s not a long-term solution for unhappiness.“There have been some suggestions that if you do this over a long period that you start to feel inauthentic(不真实的),〞Scott said. “You may be trying to cultivate positive emotions, but at the end of the day you may not feel like yourself anymore.〞32. Brent Scott and others’ experiments on bus drivers suggest that ______.A. depression among bus drivers is commonB. thinking in a positive way helps with work efficiencyC. bus drivers with pleasant memories tend to be less efficientD. the bus drivers’ work efficiency is determined by their mood33. According to the article, which of the following statements about “fake smiling〞 is TRUE?A. It is good for the business but bad for the employees.B. It does n’t work on people who are emotionally expressive.C. It is a widely accepted cultural practice in the US.D. It causes more harm to women than men.34. We can conclude from the article that the researchers think that ______.A. people should be true to their feelingsB. smiling helps to put people in a good mood and become more efficientC. it is unnecessary to cultivate positive emotionsD. deep acting can improve mood in the long run35. The article is mainly about ______.A. the importance of smiling during face-to-face contactB. a new study on fake smiling and its influence on peopleC. suggestions on improving work efficiencyD. how to cheer up when you are exhausted第二节〔共5小题；每一小题2分，总分为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优选项，选项中有两项为多余选项.36 You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better scholar if he or she wants to. Here's how :Plan your time carefully. When planning your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making the list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide on a good, regular time for studying. 37 A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television! When you sit down to work, concentrate on the subject!Make good use of your time in class. 38 . Listening carefully in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.Study regularly. When you get home from class, go over your notes. Review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. 39 If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help make your new knowledge. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be over worried.40 You will probably discover many others after you have tried these.A.There are other methods that might help you with your study.B.Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainmentC.Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says.D.No one can become a top student unless he or she works hard.E.Maybe you are an average student.F.Make full use of class time to take notes of what the teacher says in class.G.This will help you understand the next class.第二节〔共5小题；每一小题2分，总分为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优选项。

AHere is a collection of some of the eccentric(古怪的)laws in the world. We can laugh , we can gasp, we can only wonder……1. Think before you chewIn Singapore, chewing gum is prohibited. This rule was introduced because of the high cost and difficulty in removing stuck chewing gum from public premises. In particular, chewing gum stuck on the Mass Rapid Transit train doors stopped the train from moving. It happened a few times and those were a few times too many.2. Lighten upDrivers in Denmark are supposed to drive vehicles with their headlights on. You’d think this law would apply to night d riving but it doesn’t . It is considered essential during the day as well or they may face a fine of up to ﹩100.Studies have shown that this has helped a lot to avoid road accidents in Denmark.3. To fail﹥to jailIn Bangladeshi, children 15 and older can be put in jail for cheating on their final examinations. Every year, Bangladeshi government takes strong measures to stop cheating and carries out a massive media campaign to forewarn students through print and television.4.Sue(控告) them pants!In France, it is still against the law for women to wear pants. The law reportedly has been on the books since 1800. It was amended several times: once in 1892 to allow women to sport trousers while riding horses and again in 1909 to permit the ladies to wear pants while on bicycles.5. The law with a flawIn Georgia no bicycle shall be equipped, modified, or altered in such a way as to cause the pedal in its lowermost position to be more than 12 inches above the ground, nor shall any bicycle be operated if so equipped . The question is :Who would ride such a bike?6. One Two Three Go!In Massachusetts at a wake(守丧),mourners may eat no more than three sandwiches. It is one of those laws that was written in books and never removed since then. Bad manners, one might consider it, but in Massachusetts it is a criminal offense.21. How many laws are mentioned in the passage?A . TwoB .Three C. Six D. Five22. In which country is chewing gum not allowed ?A. SingaporeB. AmericaC. FranceD. China23. Which is Not true according to the passage ?A. In Bangladesh, children 15 and younger can be put in jail for cheating.B. In Georgia no bicycle shall be equipped .C. In France it is still against the law for women to wear pants.D. Drivers in Denmark are supposed to drive vehicles with their headlights on.BNot all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences in nightmares.Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly wipe out, the effect of painful memories.In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France . The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that onlythe emotional effects of memories may be reduced , not that the memories are wiped out . They are not sure to what degree people’s memories are affected.The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers’ troubling memories after war.They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.“Some memories can ruin people’s lives. They come back to you when you don’t want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions,” said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. “This could relieve a lot of that suffering.”But those who are against the res earch say that maybe the pills can change people’s memories and changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity. They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.“All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were ter rible at the time but make us who we are . I’m not sure we want to wipe those memories out.” Said Rebcca Dresser , a medical ethicist.24.The passage is mainly aboutA. a new medical inventionB. a new research on the pill -C. a way of wiping out painful memoriesD. an argument about the research on the pill25. The drug tested on people canA. cause the brain to fix memoriesB. stop people remembering bad experiencesC. prevent body producing certain chemicalsD. wipe out the emotional effect of memories26.We can infer from the passage thatA. people doubt the effect of the pillsB. the pills will certainly stop people’s emotional memoriesC. taking the pill will do harm to people’s physical heal thD. the pill has already been produced and used by the public in the US27. Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with in the last paragraph?A. Some memories can ruin people’s lives.B. People want to get rid of bad memories .C. Experiencing bad events makes us different from others.D. The pill will reduce people’s sufferings from bad memories.CWith around 100 students scheduled to be in that 9:00 am Monday morning lecture, it is no surprise that almost 20 people actually make it to the class and only 10 of them are still awake after the first 15 minutes; it is not even a surprise that most of them are still in their pyjamas(睡衣). Obviously, students are terrible at adjusting their sleep cycles to their daily schedule.All human beings possess a body clock. Along with other alerting(警报) systems, this governs the sleep/wake cycle and is therefore one of the main processes which govern sleep behaviour. Typically, the preferred sleep/wake cycle is delayed in adolescents, which leads to many students not feeling sleepy until much later in the evenings. This typical sleep pattern is usually referred to as the “night owl” schedule of sleep.This is opposed to the “early bird” schedule, and is a kind of disorder where the individual tends to stay up much past midnight . Such a person has great difficulty in waking up in the mornings. Research suggests that night owls feel most alert and function best in the evenings and at night. Research findings have shown that about 20 percent of people can be classified as “night owls” and only 10 percent can be classified as “early birds” ——the other 70 percent are in the middle. Although this is clearly not true for all students, for the ones who are true night owls this gives them an excellent excuse for missing their lectures which unfortunately fall before midday.28. What does the author stress in Paragraph 1 ?A. Many students are absent from class.B. Students are very tired on Monday mornings.C. Students do not adjust their sleep patterns well.D. Students are not well prepared for class on Mondays.29. Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2?A . Most students prefer to get up late in the morning.B. Students don’t sleep well because of alerting systems.C .One’s body clock govern s the sleep/wake cycle independently.D. Adolescents’ delayed sleep/wake cycle isn’t the preferred pattern.30. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “classified”?A. CriticizedB. GroupedC. OrganizedD. Named31. What does the text mainly talk about?A. Functions of the body clock.B. The “night owl” phenomenon.C. Human beings’ sleep behaviour.D. The school schedule of “early birds”.DThe surprising experiment I am about to describe proves that air is all around you and that it presses down upon you. Air pressure is a powerful force. When you swim underwater, you can feel water pushing on your body. The air all around you does the same. However, your body is so used to it that you do not notice this. The pressure is caused by a layer of air called the atmosphere. This layer surrounds the Earth, extending to about five kilometers above the Earth’s surface.The following experiment is an easy one that you can do at home. But make sure that you are supervised, because you will need to use matches. Now for the experiment!What you need●A hard-boiled egg without the shell●A bottle with a neck slightly smaller than the egg●A piece of paper● A matchMethodCheck that the egg will sit firmly on the neck of the bottle.Tear the paper into strips and put the strips into the bottle.Light the paper by dropping a burning match into the bottle.Quickly sit the egg on the neck of the bottle.ResultAstonishingly, the egg will be sucked into the bottle. Your friends will be amazed when you show them the experiment. But be careful when you handle matches.Why it happenedAs the paper burns, it needs oxygen and uses up the oxygen(air) in the bottle. The egg acts as a seal in the neck of the bottle，so no more air can get inside. This reduces the air pressure inside the bottle. The air pressure must equalize, so more air from outside must enter the bottle. The outside air presses against the egg and then the egg is pushed into the bottle! This proves that air is all around and that it is pressing down on us.32. Why is there the need to take care when you are doing the experiment?A. The bottle could break.B. You need to light the paper with a match.C. The egg needs to be shelled.D. The egg has to be perfectly placed on the neck of the bottle.33. In the experiment, the burning inside the bottle can .A .equalize the air pressure inside and outsideB. make a seal in the neck of the bottleC. finish up the oxygen inside the bottleD. Produce more oxygen inside the bottle34. How did the egg get into the bottle?A. The oxygen inside the bottle sucked the egg in.B. It became soft without the shell.C. The neck of the bottle was wide enough.D. The outside air pressure forced it into the bottle.35. The experiment is carried out to prove .A. water pushes on your body when you swim underwaterB. the earth is surrounded by a layer of air called the atmosphereC. the pressure of air around us has a powerful forceD. the air pressure is not equalized around us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。
