Then it reached a desert(沙漠), “I went through so many difficulties. I should have no problem crossing the desert,” she thought. As she started, she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand. After many tries, she still failed.At this time, a deep voice said, “ if a breeze (微风) can cross the desert, so can a river.”It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream answered,“that‟s because a breeze can fly, but I can‟t.”“That‟s because you can‟t give up what you are. Let yourself evaporate (蒸发) into the breeze, and it can take you across.” said the desert.“Give up what I am now? No! No!” The little stream could not accept this idea.“The breeze can carry the vapor (蒸汽) across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again.”said the desert. “And whether you‟re a river or vapor, your nature (本性) never changes.”Hearing this, the little stream went into the open arms of the breeze. It carried her to the next stage (阶段) of her life.47.What did the stream think when she reached a desert?A. She thought she couldn‟t cross the desert.B. She believed she could cross the desert.C. She thought she knew well about the desert.D. She started to worry about herself.48.What does the underlined word“it”refer to (指的是)?A. The desert.B. The nature.C. The breeze.D. The stream.49.What is the main idea of the story?A. The road to success is not always easy.B. We should do the right thing whatever others say.C. Our lives can be as difficult as the little stream‟s.D. To succeed, we should change the way we used to be.（B）A new study shows students who writ e notes by hand during lessons perform better on exams than those who use laptops(笔记本电脑).Students are increasingly using laptops for note-taking because of speed and legibility(清晰度).But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and use what they have been taught.Researchers performed experiments to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency （趋势）to make notes "mindlessly" by taking down word for word what the teachers saidIn the first experiment, students were given either a laptop or pen and paper .They listened to the same lesson and were told to use their usual note-taking skills. Thirty minutes after the talk, they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood what the teacher taught.The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand. However, the laptop users performed worse at remembering and using the ideas. Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts.The researchers' report said, "While more notes are beneficial（有益的）, if the notes are taken mindlessly, as is more likely the case on a laptop, the benefit disappears."In another experiment was done to test long-term memory, students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lesson. This time, the students who wrote notes by hand performed much better on the exam.These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate(即时) learning and understanding, but that they also lead to better revision in the future.50. More and more students prefer to use laptops for note-taking because they can ______.A. Understand lessons betterB. Remember lessons betterC. get higher scoresD. write more notes51. The author of the passage wants to_________ .A. encourage more to use laptopsB. explain the steps of taking notesC. stress the advantages of taking notes by handD. test the importance of long-time memory52. The passage is likely to appear in_______ .A. a newspaper advertisementB. a computer textbookC. a science magazineD. a history report（Ｃ）When I was a child, I was amazed at the idea that my sisters could be my b est friends. Now, I wouldn‟t have it any other way. At the time, the idea of my two sisters being my closest friends seemed strange to me. We fought all the time over toys, food, attention, what to watch on television—you name it, and we quarreled(吵架) about it at some point. How could my sisters be my best friends? They weren‟t the same age as I. We all had our own friends in school.My mother never let the three of us forget that sisters are lifelong friends. Her wish like m ost parents‟ was to give us something that she never had. Growing up as an only child, she expected siblings. When she gave birth to three daughters,her dream had only just begun. She had given each of us a gift and she wanted to make sure we did not take that gift for granted(理所当然). She would often tell us how lucky we were. But there were other, more subtle (难以察觉的) ways that she encouraged us to grow closer. She never showed favoritism(偏爱) to one daughter over the other. She often took us places together—skating, shopping and swimming, so that we developed common interests. And when we were teenagers, Mom always punished us equally, giving us yet another bonding (密切相连) experience.We didn‟t always get along beautifully and fought just like any other sibli ngs. But somewhere in between Mom‟s lectures, the family vacations and the shared memories, we realized that our mother was right. Today I share things with my sisters that I do with no one else. My sister Cindy and I ran the New York City Marathon together, side by side, even holding hands when we crossed the finish line. When my sister Karen got married, I was her maid of honor(伴娘). Cindy and I traveled through Europe together and even shared a room for two years. The three of us trust each other with our greatest secrets.It was twenty-three years ago that my mother first asked me who my two best friends were. Today she doesn‟t have to. She already knows.53. As a child, the author was amazed at her mother‟s idea because ________.A. her sisters seemed strange to herB. her sisters didn‟t like to be her friendsC. none of the girls had their own friendsD. they didn‟t have much in common54. The underlined word “siblings” in the passage probably means _________.A. sistersB. parentsC. daughtersD. friends55. How did the author‟s mother encourage her three daughters to grow closer？A. She punished her daughter differently.B. She showed equal love to her daughters.C. She encouraged her daughters to do sports.D. She often took her daughters to many places.56. The best title of the passage could be ________.A. The Greatest GiftB. Mother‟s LoveC. Growing ExperiencesD. Unforgettable Memories(D)Spring is here, the colourful flowers are seen everywhere but it is pity that many of us are not able to smellthem while enjoying the colourful flowers?Growing levels of air pollution from the factories and cars have reduced flower fragrances(芳香) by up to 90 percent in the US, compared with pre-industrial levels 100 years ago.But if the trend is simply unpleasant for human noses, it may be life-dangerous for bees and butterflies.Many insects find flowers by following the scent produced by those flowers.The increasing pollution makes it difficult for them to find the flowers and feed on their nectar(花蜜).Scientists have already found that flowers produce scent molecules(气味分子) that mix with polluted things, which breaks down the plants‟ sweet smell.With more pollution in the air, the scent molecules don‟t remain powerful as long and travel shorter distances on the wind. In the mid-19th century, when pollution levels were first recorded, scent molecules would have been able to travel some 1,000 to 1,200 meters. Today, in the polluted air of large cities, scents may only make it some 200 to 300 meters.Also, pollution from polluted air may fool the bee‟s “nose”, making their search for flowers all the more difficult.In a paper published recently in Scientific Reports, scientists said that the nitric oxide(NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in polluted air could change many chemicals that work together to give a flower its special smell.This, researchers said, “could prevent honeybees from reaching their flowers and prevent the pollination(授粉) of some of the world‟s food crops.” Or, th is could put in danger agricultural harvests worldwide.But the bees seem to have learned to get used to the changing world. “In nature honeybees use their special eyes and flower smell to find out where a flower is for the first time,” the researchers sa id.57. According to the article, researchers have recently found that ________.A. reduced flower fragrances have resulted in the dying out of many bees and butterfliesB. reduced flower fragrances are connected to growing levels of air pollutionC. polluted things in the air prevent flowers from producing scent moleculesD. f lowers today can‟t produce enough nectar because of air pollution58. What do the underlined words “the trend” in Paragraph 3 refer to (指的是)?A. Increasing air pollutionB. Reduce flower fragrances.C.Human beings‟ worse sense of smellD.A growing number of power plants and cars59. The scent molecules a plant produces are mainly to ________.A. help flowers to produce nectarB. prevent insects from eating the plantC. draw attention from bees and butterfliesD.clear up polluted things in the air60. We can infer(推断) from the article that ________.A.future food crops won‟t depend on bees to complete their pollinationB .some bees have successfully get over the challenge of reduced flowers fragranceC .bees have great advantages in their senses compared to humans.D.world food crop production is likely to fall greatly in the near future四、任务型阅读(A)Bored at school now? How do you think school will look in the future? Last week, about 600 teenagers in the U.S. imagined a future changed technology in which their lessons are taught by robots and they learn about celebrities and alien languages.According to a survey published last week by the U.S. Internet service provider American Online (AOL). Only one in 100 thinks that in the future they will walk from home to school. The rest believe they will use jet packs and hover boards(滑板) as everyday transport.All the participants of the survey are teenagers born into the Internet age. The study is to show how the first cyber generation dreams about future life created by advanced technology.Most believe there will still be schools to go to, but that technology will play an increasingly important role in learning. The 600 teens surveyed think there will still be teachers, but 37 percent imagine them to be robots. Some 24 percent believe that teachers will still be human but they will have inter-changeable microchips so that one person can teach all subjects.More than one in two believes hover boarding will be popular, while one-third say that wearing rocket boots will be their favorite activity. Another third think jet packs will be popular. Nearly 30 percent think playingfootball and bike-riding will remain popular.When it comes to the curriculum, they think future generations(一代) will be learning about robot building (63 percent), alien languages (47 percent) celebrities (26 percent) and R …n‟ B music (22percent).Children will wear virtual reality helmets to bring lessons to life, say 40 percent, while over 25 percent believe they will not need lessons because microchips stored in their head will send relevant information into the brain.
