Some ideas are pretty wild一people have suggested that the moai walked by themselves, or even that space aliens beamed down to lend a hand.Scientists struggled to Easter Island to find out the truth.The Detectives"Heave-ho!" cry a group of scientists as they pull on ropes tied to a huge statue.The investigators are seeking clues about the moai in one of Easter Island's green valleys.Wondering if the islanders could have transported the statues upright with just rope and muscle power, they wrapped three strong ropes around the forehead of a ten-foot-tall moai copy.With several people pulling each rope.they're able to rock the 10,000-pound figure side to side, moving it forward with every tug(拖拽)·"The statue's shape makes this movement fairly easy," team leader Carl Lipo says.In the past, researchers have tried other moving methods.One group tied rope to the top and base of an actual moai and attempted to drag it forward with twisting motions.Another team laid a real 13-foot moai onto a giant log and pulled the log forward.All the experiments shared one result: The investigators got serious pain! The EvidenceAlthough various scientific sleuths (侦查) found ways to move the moai, researchers still don't agree on what really happened.Some of these techniques might have only worked over short distances and on flat land.Others would have damaged the moai.;Many people think the statues were laid horizontally on wooden sleds which were dragged with rope across log tracks."This would have been the safest way to move the moai," archaeologist Jo Anne Van Tilburg says."It explains why hardly any are damaged."But the truth may never be revealed.(Experts are pretty sure, though, that aliens weren't involved.)After all, the islanders stopped making the statues at least 300 years ago, later hundreds of islanders left the island or caught deadly diseases brought by explorers.Many of the tnoai's secrets disappeared with them.Today the only remaining witnesses to the events are the moai themselves. And the lips of these stone-faced giants are sealed.59.How many possible ways of moving the rock giants are mentioned in the passage?A.Three.B.Four.C.Five.D.Six.60.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A.The moai was created by the islanders 800 years ago to wish for good luck.B.Some of the rock giants were damaged while being moved to where they are now.C.All the witnesses to the secrets of the moai were infected with deadly diseases and died.D.The statues were made of volcanic rocks with some handmade tools by the locals.61.The underlined word "horizontally" in the last but one paragraph probably means_A.temporarily on the groundB.parallel to the groundC.steadily on the groundD.vertical to the ground62.What is the best title of this passage?A.Investigation Under Way.B.Mystery of the Stone Giants.C.Ways of Moving the Stone Giants.D.The Unrevealed Truth.CMost evenings, before watching late-night comedy or reading emails on his phone, Matt Nicoletti puts on a pair of orange-colored glasses that he bought for S8 on the Internet."My girlfriend thinks I look ridiculous in them," he said.But Mr.Nicoletti, a 30-year-old consultant in Denver, insists that the glasses, which can block certain wavelengths of light emitted by electronic screens, make it easier to sleep.Studies have shown that such light, especially from the blue part of the spectrum (光谱),inhibits the body's production of melatonin(褪黑激素)，which helps people fall asleep.Options arc growing for blocking blue light, though experts caution that few have been adequately tested for effectiveness and the best solution remains avoiding brightly lit electronics at night.A Swiss study of 13 teenage boys, published in August in The Journal of Adolescent Health. showed that when the boys wore orange-colored glasses, also known as 'blue blockers' and shown to prevent melatonin, in the evening for a week, they felt "significantly more sleepy" than when they wore clear glasses.The boys looked at their screens, as teenagers tend to do, for at least a few hours on average before going to bed, and were monitored in the lab.Older adults may be less affected by blue light, experts say, but blue light remains a problem for most people, and an earlier study of 20 adults aged 18 to 68 found that those who wore orange-colored glasses for three hours before bed improved their sleep quality considerably relative to a control group that wore yellow-colored lenses, which blocked only ultraviolet(紫外线)light.LEDs used in devices such as smart phones, tablets and televisions tend to emit more blue light than incandescent products（白炽产品).LEDs are also increasingly popular as room lights, but "warm white" bulbs, with less blue, tend to be a better choice than "cool white" for nighttime use.The lighting company Philips also makes a reduced-blue LED bulb, meant to be used妙fore bedtime."In theory, anything that will decrease that blue light exposure at night will be helpful." said Christopher Colwell, a scientist at the UCLA, "I know some gainers who swear by those orange-colored glasses."But orange glasses are not a panacea(万能药).Dr.Skene said."It isn't just getting rid of the blue and everything's fine," she said.The intensity of light, in addition to color, can affect sleep, she said, and not all brands of orange-colored glasses have undergone enough independent testing for their ability to aid sleep.During the daytime, experts say, exposure to blue light is good.Best of all is sunlight, which contains many different wavelengths of light."That's what our brain knows," said Kenneth P.Wright Jr., director of the sleep and chronobiology(生物钟学)lab at the University of Colorado, Boulder.A 2013 study he led, published in the journal Current Biology, showed just how different things can be without nighttime lights.After participants had camped inthe mountains for a week, their bodies began to pre pare for sleep about two hours earlier than normal.Short of cutting out all evening electronics, experts say, it's advisable to use a small screen rather than a large one; dim the screen and keep it as far away from the eyes as possible; and reduce the amount of time spent reading the device."If you can look at the iPhone for 10 minutes rather than three hours, that makesa lot of difference," Dr.Skene said.63.What does the underlined word "inhibit" in Parag raph 3 probably mean?A.preventB.promoteC.projectD.process64.Which of the following statements is true?A.The older a person is, the less he or she will be affected by blue light.B.The exposure to the blue light does nothing but harm to the human body.C.Traditional lighting companies are facing a dead end due to backward technology.D.All brands of orange-colored glasses are not reliable for their ability to aid sleep.65.What are the contributing factors of a better night's sleep?①Limited screen time before bed.②A pair of color glasses.③A small-sized screen of electronics.④A place without nighttime lights.⑤Devices with LED backlighting.A. ①②③B. ③④⑤C. ②③⑤D. ①③④66.The purpose of this article is to _.A.advertise a brand of orange-colored glasses which can block blue lightB.question the effectiveness of orange-colored glasses on the marketC.introduce a kind of orange glasses that may help people sleep betterD.teach readers about the most effective ways to have a better sleepDOn July 12, 1997, Malala Yousafzai was born in Mingora, Pakistan, located in the country's Swat Valley.Yotsafzai attended a school that her father.Ziauddin Yousafzai, had founded.After the Taliban began attacking girl schools in Swat.Malala gave a speech in Peshawar.Pakistan, in September 2008.The title of her talk was, "How dare the Taliban take away my basic right to education?"When she was 14, Malala and her family learned that the Taliban had issued a death threat against her.Though Malala was fri ghtened for the safety of her father一an anti-Taliban activist-she and her family initially felt that the fundamentalist group would not act ually harm a child._.·On October 9.2012, on her way home from school, a man boarded the bus Malala was riding in and demanded to know which girl was Malala.When her friends looked toward Malala, her location was given away.The gunman fired at her, hitting Malala in the left side of her head.Two other girls were also injured in the attack.Despite the Taliban's threats, Yousafzai remains a firm advocate for the power of education.On October 10, 2013, in acknowledgement of her work, the EuropeanParliament awarded Yousafzai the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought.That same year, she was nominated (提名) for a Nobel Peace Prize.She didn't win the prize, but was named a nominee

35分)第一节任务型阅读阅读下列短文并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词，每空格1词(共10个小题;每小题1分，满分10分)The most common use of intelligence test scores is to predict degree of academic success.Such scores are used in some communities as bases for admitting able children to schools at ages younger than normal, and they are very generally used to determine admissions to schools beyond public secondary schoo l.Another use common in elementary schools involves comparing such scores with performances in various subjects to identify children who are working below capacity.The greatest problem in using intelligence tests for the purpose of prediction is that no dependable criterion of their accuracy exists.The ideal criteria would be objective and reliable achievement tests following instructions in each subject, but there are few such tests, especially at the college level.Studies have shown that correlations（相关性)between intelligence tests and achievement tests in various subjects through secondary school range roughly from 0.5 to 0.8.Such correlations are fairly high ，but they do not suggest anywhere near complete agreement.At the college level there are two major tests used as criteria of admission.By far the more important is the College Entrance Examination, constructed by the Educational Testing Service authorized by the College Entrance Examination Board.These tests arc returned to the Educational Testing Service for scoring, and the results are then made available to the various colleges authorized by the students to receive them.The second test of this type is the American College Test, which operates in essentially the same fashion.Both tests constitute(组成)measures of certain skills, abilities, and knowledge that have been found to be related to success in college.Their correlations with academic success are limited for three outstanding reasons.First, measures of achievement in college arc themselves perhaps no more reliable than those in elementary and secondary schools.Second, intellectual factors do not alone determine academic success, especially at the college level.Many students drop out of schools because they are inadequately motivated or because they dislike the instructional programme.Third,correlations are lowered because the use of such tests for denying admission to some students means that the range of scores for those admitted is restricted, and such restrictions tend to reduce correlations.请阅读下面文字.并按要求写一篇150词左右的文章。
