AThere is a bar in our town with the name “The White Horse”. It 's Mr. Webster's. Few people went to the bar last year, but thi ngs are quite different now.There was a picture of a white horse on the door of the bar. T hen a stranger came in one day, drank something, looked aro und the bar and then said to Mr. Webster "Few people come here. Take down the picture of the white horse and put on a pi cture of a black horse instead.""But the name of the bar is ‘The White Horse’.” Mr. Webster s aid."Yes, but do it." The man said. Then he went out of the bar.[] Mr. Webster went to an artist and said, "I want a picture of a b lack horse."The next day a picture of a black horse was on the door of the bar instead of that of the white horse. Soon after the door op ened, a man came in and said, "There is a mistake on the doo r of your bar, and the picture is different from the name." The man looked, sat down and drank something.Then another man came in and said the same, and then anot her and another. A lot of people came in and said "The pictur e on your door is wrong." And they all stopped and drank in M r. Webster's bar.1. The stranger told Mr. Webster to take down the picture of t he white horse because he knew ________.A. people would come in and tell the picture was different from the nameB. the picture of the white horse wasn't good for the barC. people would understand the picture different from the nam eD. a picture of a black horse showed good luck2. Mr. Webster agreed with the stranger ________.A. because he knew he was an artistB. though he didn't like the black horseC. though he wasn't ready to do it at firstD. because he want ed to change the picture3. More and more people came to the bar because ________.A. it had changed its nameB. they wanted to show t he mistakeC. the bar had a black horseD. the black horse was bet ter than the white one4. From the story we have learned that ________.A. if your business isn't good, you'd better change the name o r the pictureB. when you have difficulty, don't give upC. if you are in trouble, you should take others' ideasD. when a good name is given, it can cause successBWhy do people lie? A person lies to get himself out of a difficu lt or stressful situation or he lies to gain some benefits. So ho w should we go about recognizing those common indications(暗示) that someone is lying? Let's begin.Scratching(抓，挠) the neck，throat or mouth. When a person tells lies，he will put himself under pressure and this tends to heat up th e whole body. In order to release this heat，the liar will start to scratch his body to release the heat. Shaking of a leg or a foot. When telling a lie，a person controls his facial expression because he knows that the other person is looking at his face. However，when one is totally focused on controlling the upper body，the lower body will get out of control，which is an indication of lying.Eye direction. When a person is trying to answer a hard quest ion，usually the eyes will be looking to the left to recall things from his memory. When one cannot find the answer，the eyes will shift to look at the right which indicates that he is constructing something that is usually a lie.For more techniques to become a more effective communicator，please refer to other articles on this website.5.The writer wrote this passage to ________.A．tell us how to detect lies through body languageB．tell us the importance of detecting liesC．prove that lies can be easily detectedD．explain why people tell lies6．According to the writer，the liar will start to scratch his body because ________. A．he feels very nervous B．he is trying to calm down C．he wants to draw attention to himself D．he wants to rel ease heat7．Where is this passage probably taken from?A．A website B．A magazine. C．A newspaper D ．A letter.CMany pet owners see their pets as family members.

ASunstroke (中暑) is a condition that can quickly go from dangerous to deadly, especially if proper care isn’t given immediately.Sunstroke, sometimes called heatstroke, is a result of the body temperature rising above safe limits. This causes the body’s necessary functions to stop working. It’s usually pretty easy to avoid sunstroke, as long as proper action is taken. In that case, you need to act as quickly as possible to return that person’s body to a safe temperature. Here are a few tips to help treat sunstroke.Call for helpCall to get an ambulance as quickly as possible. This should be the first thing you do, especially if the sunstroke person has fainted(昏倒). Also, call for help from anyone nearby if you’ re in a public place. If there’s no one around, call someone nearby if they can get there sooner than an ambulance. Ask everyone to bring you as much water as possible, if there isn’t much nearby.Get the person to a cooler areaIf there’s a building nearby, aim for that. Anywhere with plenty of air conditionings and water is perfect. If a building isn’t available, bring the person to a well shaded area.Get the water flowingIf the person is still conscious, get him or her to drink water. If there’s a bathtub available，fill it with cool water and put the person in it.If your water supply is limited, you have to save it. Dampen a towel or shirt and put it on the person’s body. Focus on the face, neck，and chest.Fan the personGetting moving air over the person cools him or her down. Use anything, a towel or sheet, a shirt your hands，or a piece of board. This is where having many people around really helps, as they can combine to fan the entire body.1. When does a person get sunstroke?A. When the body temperature goes up beyond what one can bear.B. When proper care is not given immediately.C. When someone is exposed to the sun working too long.D. When the body’s necessary functions stop working.2. What is mainly discussed in the passage?A. The chief symptoms of sunstroke.B. The cause of sunstroke.C. The first aid for sunstroke.D. The essential preventions of sunstroke.3. The passage probably comes from ________.A. a guide bookB. a book reviewC. an official documentD. a medical magazineBWelcome to the Miami PlanetariumSchool Groups: $10.00 per personOne free teacher admission per 10 students.Group rates apply to groups 15 or more.Click HERE to make a reservation online today!The Miami Planetarium (天文馆|) opened its doors to the public on November 4, 1966 and has entertained and educated children of all ages about astronomy and the wonders of the night sky ever since. The Planetarium houses a 65-foot diameter domed (圆顶状的) projection screen with 231 seats. At the heart of the Planetarium is a SPITZ “Space Transit Planetarium” star projector (放映机)， which is capable of accurately reproducing the stars and planets as seen from anywhere on Earth at any time during the year. Shows daily except Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. Unlike any other in South Florida, the Planetarium is a unique setting for bringing the stars and planets indoors in animated (动画) live star shows and music-filled laser lightshows.The Weintraub Observatory (天文台) houses two powerful telescopes. Observatory hours are from 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Look though the telescope to view the planets, the four moons of Jupiter, the rings of Saturn and deep sky objects such as galaxies, nebulate and double stars.Deposit (定金): A $75 deposit must be received 10 days prior to the visit date to guarantee your visit.Cancellation Policy: The museum requires 48 hours advance notice prior to any cancellation or other changes to a reservation.

If twenty students are to visit the Miami Planetarium together with five teachers, how much will they have to pay for the admission fees in total?A. $ 150.B. $ 250.C. $ 230.D. $ 200.5. We can infer from the passage that ________.A. the Miami Planetarium has a history of over 50 yearsB. the Miami Planetarium is very popular among moviegoersC. the Weintraub Observatory is not open to visitors during the dayD. the Miami Planetarium is located in North Florida6. To make sure that you can visit the Miami Planetarium on time, you must ________.A. pay the total admission fees in advanceB. pay some of the admission fees beforehandC. rent the bus owned by the planetariumD. book the visit five days before the visit date7. If visitors don’t obey the rules, they are likely to ________.A. be driven outB. be punishedC. be fined $75D. be refused serviceCMost people will answer a ringing phone. Usually you don’t know who is phoning or how urgent their business is, so a ringing phone is difficult to ignore. In one experiment, a researcher wrote down the numbers of several public phones in stations and airports. Then he called the numbers. Someone nearly always answered. When he asked why, people usually said, “Because it rang.”A few years ago in New Jersey, a man with a rifle killed 13 people. Armed police surrounded his house but he refused to come out. A reporter found out the phone number of the house and called. The man put down h is rifle and answered the phone. “What do you want?” he said, “I’m really busy right now.”Imagine you’re at work and the phone is ringing in someone else’s office. Do you answer it or not? In one survey on telephone use, 51% of participants told researche s that they did. We can’t ignore the phone and for the reason, it forces its way into our lives. It interrupts what we are doing and on top of that, the caller is often someone we don’t really want to talk to. However, in the survey, 58% said they never to ok the phone off the hook, and 67% didn’t mind if someone called during a television programme. For 44% it wasn’t a problem if someone rang during a meal, while only 28% were annoyed or upset. If someone phoned in the middle of the night, 40% told researchers that they got nervous or frightened, while around 30% got angry.Of course, when someone is really annoying, you can choose to hang up on him/her.This is in fact one of the rudest things you can do on the phone, but 79% said they were prepared to do it in some cases. Only 6% told researchers they never hung up on people.8. In the experiment, people answered the researcher’s phone ________.A. in order to help him gather the dataB. to test the function of the phoneC. for fear that it was urgentD. to show their interest in the survey9. The gunman answered the phone because ________.A. he decided not to give up his resistance to the policeB. he tended to answer a ringing phoneC. he wanted to tell the reporter that he was too busy to offer any informationD. he intended to be friendly with the media10. What is implied by the sentence “79% said they were prepared to do it in some cases”?A. They were prepared to punish those rude callers.B. They also agreed to hang up on others regardless of rudeness.C. They were annoying rude callers.D. They were going to hang on annoying phones.11. The purpose of the survey is to find out _______.A. how the phone interrupts people’s workB. what role the phone plays in people’s livesC. when the phone communication is more welcomeD. why people mind a ringing phone sometimesDEaster (复活节) is still a great day for worship (崇拜), randy in baskets and running around the yard finding eggs, but every year it gets quite a bit worse for bunnies (兔子).And no, not because the kids like to pull their ears. The culprit is climate change, and some researchers found that rising temperatures arc having harmful effects onat least five species of rabbit in the US.Take the Lower Keys March rabbit, for instance. An endangered species that lives in the Lower Florida Keys, this species of cottontail is a great swimmer—it lives on the islands!—but it is already severely affected by development and now by rising levels. According to the Center for Biological Diversity, an ocean level rise of only 0.6 meters will send these guys jumping to higher ground and a 0.9-meter rise would wipe out their habitat (栖息地) completely.The snowshoe hare, on the other hand, has a color issue. Most of these rabbits change their fur color from white in the wintertime to brown in the summer, each designed to give them better cover from predators (捕食者). As the number of days with snow decreases all across the country, however, more and more bunnies arc being left in white fur during brown dirt days of both fall and spring, making them an easier mark for predators. Researchers know that the color change is controlled by the number of hours of sunlight, but whether the rabbit will be able to adapt quick enough to survive is a big question. The National Wildlife Federation has reported that hunters have noticed their numbers are already markedly down.American pikas or rock rabbits, a relative of rabbits and hares, might be the firs’ of these species to go extinct due to climate change. About 7-8 inches long, pikas live high in the cool, damp mountains west of the Rocky Mountains. As global temperatures rise, they would naturally migrate (迁徙) to higher ground - but they already occupy (占据) the mountaintops. They can’t go any higher. The National Wildlife Federation reports that they might not be able to stand the new temperatures as their habitat beats up.The volcano rabbit has the same problem. These rabbits live on the slopes of volcanoes in Mexico, and recent studies have shown that the lower range of their habitat has already shifted upward about 700 meters, but there are not suitable plants for them to move higher, so they are stuck in the middle. Scientists are concerned about their populations.Native to the US, pygmy rabbits weigh less than 1 pound and live in the American West. They are believed to be the smallest rabbits in the world. Their habitats havebeen destroyed by development. Several populations, such as the Columbia Basin pygmy, almost went extinct and were saved by zoo breeding programs. Pygmy rabbits also rely on winter cover by digging tunnels through the snow to escape predators, but lesser snowfall is leaving them exposed.All of this gives new meaning to dressing up in a giant bunny costume (服装) this Easter.12. The writer mentions Easter at the beginning of the passage in order to _________.A. introduce the issue about bunniesB. show the importance of Easter DayC. remind people of Easter traditionsD. discuss the relationship between Easter and bunnies13. According to the passage, some rabbits can now be easily Uncovered by predators because they________.A. are exposed lo more skillful huntersB. have moved to habitats with fewer plantsC. haven’t adapted themselves to climate changeD. can’t change their fur color into white in the fall and the spring14. The problem faced by volcano rabbets and rock rabbits is that ________.A. neither can migrate to higher placesB. both are affected by rising sea levelsC. neither can find enough foodD. both are affected by less snow15 Which best describes the writer’s tone in the postage?A. Approving.B. Doubtful.C. Enthusiastic.D. Concerned.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。

The ScreamArtist: Edvard MunchWhere to see it: the National Museum and the Munch Museum (Oslo, Norway)The Scream is not a single work of art. According to a British museum’s blog, there are two paintings, two pastels (彩粉画) and a number of prints, The paintings are in the National Museum and the Munch Museum, and in 2012, one of the pastels was sold for almost 120 million. Mona LisaArtist: Leonardo da VinciWhere to see it: the Louvre Museum (Paris. France)It should come as no surprise that one of the most famous paintings in the world is a woman with a mysterious smile. It is the earliest known Italian painting to focus closely on the sitter in ahalf-length portrait (像) , according to the Louvre, where it was first exhibited in 1804. The Last SupperArtist: Leonardo da VinciWhere to see it: Santa Maria delle Grazie (Milan, Italy)Leonardo is the only artist to appear on this list twice. The Last Supper is about the last time Jesus had dinner with his followers. The painting is actually a huge wall painting-4. 6 meters high and 8. 8 meters wide, which makes for a memorable viewing experience.1．Where is The Starry Night exhibited?A．In the Louvre Museum.B．In the Munch Museum.C．In the Museum of Modern Art.D．In Santa Maria delle Grazie.2．What is special about The Scream?A．It is exhibited in three museums.B．It includes a series of works of art.C．It is famous for a smile in the painting.D．It was painted in a mental hospital.3．What do Mona Lisa and The Last Supper have in common?A．They feature religious figures.B．They both belong to wall paintings.C．They are exhibited in the National Museum.D．They were painted by Leonardo da Vinci.Life is like a roller coaster, and every point has ups and downs. People plan something, but luck and sometimes misfortunes lead them toward a different destination. However, passionate individuals are not scared of such uncertainties. They set goals, welcome challenges, overcome obstacles, and eventually achieve what satisfies them.Those who stay committed to their broad goals and find satisfaction even in unplanned circumstances are truly victorious. One true example of such people comes from a woman passionate about spreading happiness and helping others. Nicole Thornes is a mother, a former police officer, and now serving society as a death doula (陪护师).Nicole joined the police academy intending to be helpful to society. She believed that a police officer has the opportunity to eliminate crime, bring justice, and create a better society for everyone. Although she became a mother during her studies and her responsibilities were increased due to children, she didn’t give up on her passion. Nicole could have called off her studies, but her passion for serving society didn’t let her step down. With great efforts, she finally became a police officer and gave her contributions to law enforcement and the betterment of society. She was not only a police officer making full commitment to the society but also a motherwho played her responsibilities in the best way possible.Everything went according to her plans, but uncertainty called off her journey as a police officer. Nicole suffered from an injury in a mission that ended her career in the police force. But her dreams and passion did not let her stop. She became a death doula to continue her dream. She chose this field after her grandfather’s death, when she couldn’t bear the pain of losing him. Being a death doula, she is now providing comfort to the dying and their families during difficult times. She aims to spread prosperity in people’s lives and help them overcome all the obstacles she faced throughout her life.4．What is the first paragraph mainly about?A．Life is full of ups and downs.B．People are at the mercy of changes.C．Uncertainties lead life to a different direction.D．Fulfillment comes from making the best of the uncertainties.5．What is Nicole’s original career commitment?A．To conduct her duty well and better the society.B．To cater to the children’s requirements and needs.C．To accompany the senior through the darkest time.D．To release people’s pain from losing the loved ones.6．Why did Nicole leave her police post?A．Because of the arrangement of the office.B．Because of the injury she got at work.C．Because of the change of interest.D．Because of the danger of the job.7．What brought Nicole to her new career?A．The appeal of the people in sorrow.B．The push of getting a new job to survive.C．The passion in accompanying the sick ones.D．The sorrowful pain of losing herbeloved family.If you were to throw, say, a banana peel out of your car while driving along the motorway, that would be a completely harmless action, due to the fact that it’s part of a fruit — right? Actually, no. A banana peel can take up to two years to be naturally processed, and with a third of motorists admitting to littering while driving, that’s a whole lot of discarded banana peels. Anorange peel and a cigarette butt has a similar biodegrading (生物降解) term to that of a banana peel, but tin cans last up to 100 years; and plastic bottles last forever, as do glass bottles.Despite the fact that longer-lasting materials will serve to damage the environment and its animals for longer, we can’t merely measure the severity of a certain type of rubbish by its lifetime. For example, despite having a fairly short length of biodegrading time, more than 120 tons of cigarette-related litter is discarded in the UK every day.It’s not a cheap habit either: to keep our streets clean annually costs UK taxpayers £500 million, and when you include our green spaces, that goes up to £1 billion. So, it’s not surprising that if caught fly-tipping you could face a £20,000 fine or even jail time and, if you disposed of something dangerous, the court could give you five years to serve. Regardless of how severe these punishments might seem, however, among the reported cases only 2,000 were found guilty out of 825,000, so we still have some way to go in making sure people obey the rules.8．What does the underlined word “discarded” in para1 mean?A．Harmless.B．Processed.C．Thrown.D．Long-lasting. 9．Which of the following has the longest biodegrading term?A．Glass bottles.B．Tin cans.C．Cigarette butts.D．Banana peels. 10．What can be inferred from the passage?A．The severity of rubbish can be measured by its lifetime.B．Quite a few people were found guilty of illegally littering.C．Every year UK taxpayers spend £500 million keeping streets free of dirt.D．Cigarette-related litter and peels can be ignored for their fairly short lifetime.11．What is the purpose of the passage?A．To inform readers of different biodegrading terms.B．To call for people not to litter illegally.C．To encourage people to use fewer plastic bags.D．To stress the importance of good behavior.It’s no secret that sleep is important to your overall health, but a lack of sleep could have great effects on your heart, a new study shows. The researchers said people with insomnia(失眠症)are more likely to have a heart attack.Insomnia is the most common sleep disorder in the US, the researchers wrote in their report, noting that 10% to 15% of people in the US struggle with it. The meta-analysis of previously published research suggests that the potential association between insomnia and heart attack risk is strongest in women.Dr. Martha Gulati, director of prevention at the Cedars-Sinai Smidt Heart Institute, said that most of her patients are women and that insomnia is a noted risk factor for women who have had any form of ischemic heart disease. “We see it probably in 1 in 10 patients in the United States,” said Gulati, who was not involved in the new research. “It is my impression that almost everyone experiences insomnia at some point in their life. The estimate is that 1 in 2 adults experience it at some point in their life, maybe in the short term because of stressful moments.”For their analysis, the researchers defined insomnia as a sleep disorder with three main symptoms(症状): Difficulty falling asleep, difficulty staying asleep and waking early and being unable to fall back asleep.The study also found an association between increased heart attack risk and how long a participant slept each night. Those who slept five hours or less had the highest association with heart attack risk and were 1.56 times more likely to have a heart attack than people who slept seven or eight hours. Longer sleep duration wasn’t always more protective. The study found that people who slept six hours a night had a lower risk of a heart attack than those who slept nine hours or more. “A lot of studies have pointed somewhere between seven and eight hours of sleep being the magic number for us,” another researcher said. “There is obviously variability for everyone, but too much sleep is rarely the issue.”12．What’s the function of the first paragraph?A．To list a fact.B．To warn the readers.C．To introduce the topic.D．To draw the readers’ interest.13．What can we infer from Gulati words?A．Insomnia is unavoidable in the short term.B．Insomnia is a common phenomenon in life.C．Heart attack often happens during insomnia.D．Women are less experienced in dealing with insomnia.14．What inspiration can we get according to the sleeping time?A．Put quality before quantity.B．Too much is as bad as too little.C．Bite off more than one can chew.D．Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. 15．What’s the author’s attitude to the relationship between insomnia and heart attack?A．Pessimistic.B．Indifferent.C．Objective.D．Positive.How to Reduce Food WasteFood waste is a huge problem in many countries. The good news: Each of us can help solve it. 16 .Make a plan17 , think about exactly what you need for the week, make a list and then stick to it. Actually, more often we throw things in the shopping cart that sound good or look new, and then we let them sit in the back of the fridge for a few weeks.Get creative with repurposing foodBefore walking straight to the trash with your old carrots or cabbages, ask yourself:18 The answer is probably yes. You don’t need to follow any difficult recipes (to turn older produce into a fresh new dish by watching videos online).19If you realize that you won’t be able to use food before it’s too late, turn to the trusty fridge. Did you know you can freeze almost anything? Your bread, your vegetables, your fruits -even your milk! Freezing food helps keep its taste and nutrients (营养).Don’t be fooled by that “sell by” dateGenerally speaking, these labels are a best guess by producers as to when their products will be freshest. They’re not fixed rules about when that cheese has to go straight to the trashcan.20 . The next time you do a sweep of your kitchen, remember that these dates are just guidelines. When in doubt, do a smell test. If it doesn’t pass, you can just bury them in your garden to make the soil rich.A．Freeze everythingB．Don’t forget your fridgeC．Before you shop for groceriesD．Can I make these into something newE．Can you create something out of themF．However, that’s exactly what many of us doG．Here are four simple ways to start reducing your food waste at home二、完形填空First aid is emergency care for a victim of sudden illness or injury until more skillful medical treatment is available.First aid may save a 21 or improve certain vital signs including a pulse，temperature，an unobstructed (畅通无阻的) airway，and breathing.In 22 emergencies，first aid may prevent a victim's condition from worsening and provide relief from 23 .

But when the yearly games for the disabled were started at Stoke Mandeville, England in 1948 by Sir Ludwig Guttmann, the situation began to change.Sir Ludwig Guttmann, who had been driven to England in 1939 from Nazi Germany, had been asked by the British government to set up an injuries centre at Stoke Mandeville Hospital near London. His ideas about treating injuries included sport for the disabled.In the first games just two teams of injured soldiers took part. The next year 1949, five teams took part. From those beginnings, things have developed fast. Teams now come from abroad to Stoke Mandeville every year. In 1960 the first Olympics for the disabled were held in Rome, in the same place as the normal Olympic Games. Now, every four years the Olympic Games for the disabled are held, if possible, in the same place as the normal Olympic Games, although they are organized separately. In other years Games for the disabled are still held at Stoke Mandeville. In the 1984 wheelchair Olympic Games, 1064 wheelchair athletes from about 40 countries took part. Unfortunately, they were held at Stoke Mandeville and not in Los Angeles, along with the other Olympics.The Games have been a great success in helping the progress of international friendship and understanding, and in p roving that being disabled does not mean you can’t enjoy sport. One small source of disappointment for those who organize and take part in the games, however, has been the unwillingness of the International Olympic Committee to include disabled events at the Olympic Games for the ablebodied. Perhaps a few more years is still needed topersuade those fortunate enough not to be disabled that their disabled fellow athletes should be included.51．The first games for the disabled were held after Sir Ludwig Guttmann arrived in England.A．40 yearsB．21 yearsC．10 yearsD．9 years52．This text tells us that Sir Ludwig Guttmann .A．was an early organizer of the games for the able-bodiedB．was welcomed by the British governmentC．was an injured soldierD．was from England53．From the passage, we may know that the writer is .A．one of the organizers of the games for the disabledB．a disabled person who once took part in the gamesC．against holding the games for the disabledD．in favour of holding the games for the disabledI always felt sorry for the people in wheelchairs. Some people, old and weak, cannot get around by themselves. Others seem perfectly healthy, dressed in business suits. But whenever I saw someone in a wheelchair, I only saw a disability, not a person.Then I fainted(昏倒)at Euro Disney due to low blood pressure. This was the first time I had ever fainted, and my parents insisted that I rest for a while after first aid. They said to me, “_____!” I agreed to take it easy, but as I stepped toward the door, I saw my dad pushing a wheelchair in my direction! Feeling the color burn my cheeks, I asked him to wheel that thing right back to where he found it.I could not believe this was happening to me. Wheelchairs were fine for other people but not for me, as my father wheeled me out into the main street, people immediately began to treat me differently.Little kids ran in front of me, forcing my father to stop the wheelchair suddenly. Bitterness set in as I was thrown back and forth.”Stupid kids! They have perfectly good legs. Why can’t they watch where they are going?” I thought. People stared down at me, pity in their eyes. Then they would look away, maybe because they thought the sooner they forgot me the better.”I’m just like you!” I wanted to scream.” The only difference is you’ve got legs, and I have wheels.”People in wheelchairs are not stupid. They see every look and hear each word. Looking out at the faces, I finally understood: I was once just like them. I treated people in wheelchairs exactly the way they did not want to be treated. I realized it is some of us with two healthy legs who are truly disabled.54．What do the underlined words mean in Paragraph 2?A．Don’t mind.B．Don’t worry.C．Don’t forget it.D．Don’t hurry.55．The author once when she was healthy.A．helped disabled peopleB．looked down upon disabled peopleC．imagined herself sitting in a wheelchairD．saw some healthy people moving around in wheelchairs56．The experience of the author tells us that .A．life is the best teacherB．people often eat their bitter fruitC．life is so changeable that nobody can foretellD．one should not do to others what he would not like others to do to himAn ageing society is one in which the population of people over the age of 60 is increasing. This is a social problem. Can we solve it with the help of robots?Researchers are placing robotic dogs in the homes of lonely old people to determine whether they can improve the quality of life for humans. Alan Beck,an expert in human animal relationship ,and Nancy Edwards, a professor of nursing, are leading the animal assisted study concerning the influence of robotic dogs on old people’s depression, physical activity, and left satisfaction. ”No one will argue that an older person is better off being more active,challenged, or stimulated(刺激),”Edwards points out.” The problem is how we promote (促进)that, especially for those without friends or help. A robotic dog could be a solution.”In the study, the robot, called AIBO, is placed for six weeks in the houses of some old people who live alone. Before placing AIBO in the home, researchers will collect baseline data for six weeks. These old people will keep a diary to note their feelings and activity before and after AIBO. Then, the researchers will review the data to determine if it has inspired any changes in the life of its owner.”I talk to him all the time, and he responds to my voice,” says a seventy year old lady, ”When I’m watching TV, he’ll stay in my arms until he wants down. He has a mind of his own.”The AIBOs respond to certain orders. The researchers say they have some advantages over live dogs, especially for old people. Often the elderly are disabled and cannot care for an animal by walking it or playing with it. A robotic dog removes exercise and feeding concerns. ”At the beginning, it was believed that no one would relate to the robotic dog, because it was metal and not furry.” Beck says.” But it’s amazing how quickly we have given up that belief.””Hopefully, down the road, these robotic pets could become a more valuable health helper. They will record their masters’ blood pressure, oxygen levels. Or heart rhythms. AIBOs may even one day have games that can help stimulate older people’s minds.”57．Which of the following can be the best title?A．Dogs and the OldB．Medical Examination and the OldC．Robots Serving the OldD．Dogs Needn’t Feeding58．The purpose of Beck and Edwards’ study is to____ .A．understand humananimal relationshipB．make lonely old people’s life betterC．find the causes of old people’s lonelinessD．promote the animalassisted research59．What is the advantage of AIBO over live dogs?A．It is easier to keep at home.B．It can help the disabled people.C．It responds to all the human orders.D．It can watch TV with its owner.60．The author seems to suggest that the future robotic dogs may .A．cure certain diseasesB．keep old people activeC．change people’s beliefsD．look more like real dogs四、信息匹配Nowadays a vegetarian lifestyle is becoming more and more popular. Leading health experts agree that maintaining a vegetarian diet is one of the best things we can do for ourselves and our families.61． . A well planned vegetarian diet provides us with all the nutrients we need and avoids fat, cholesterol(胆固醇) and the pollutants found in animal flesh, eggs, and dairy products. And it can provide protection against various kinds of diseases, including the three biggest killers: heart disease, cancer, and strokes. The American Dietetic Association states that vegetarians have lower rates of death from heart disease, lower blood cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure and lower rates of hypertension(高血压) . 62． .Scientists have also found that vegetarians have stronger immune systems than their meat eating friends. 63． Vegetarians live, on average, 6 to 10 years longer than meat eaters.64． . Animals raised for food consume the vast majority of their calories simply in order to live, just as we do. We feed more than 70 percent of the grains and cereals we grow to farm animals, and almost all of those calories go into simply keeping them alive, not making them grow. Only a small amount of the calories consumed by farm animals are actually turned into the meat that people eat .So it’s really a huge waste, isn’t it? Try y our best to find tips for maximizing(最大化) the health benefits of a vegetarian diet. 65．A． All of these diseases are more likely to happen to meat eatersB． Living on plants also saves energyC． Growing all the crops needed to feed animals requires massive amounts of water and landD． This means that they are less likely to be affected by everyday illnesseslike the flu.E. Vegetarian diets are the only diets that work for long term weight lossF. It’s never too late to turn over a new page.G. Healthy vegetarian diets support a lifetime of good health.五、短文改错66．假如英语课上老师要求同学们交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。

Many of us use a lift several times during the day without really thinking about it. But Lee Gray, PhD, of the University of North Carolina, US, has made it his business to examine this overlooked form of public transport. He is known as the “Elevator Guy”.“The lift becomes this interesting social space where etiquette (礼仪) is sort of odd (奇怪的),”Gray told the BBC. “They (elevators) are socially very interesting but often very awkward places.”We walk in and usually turn around to face the door. If someone else comes in, we may have to move. And here, according to Gray, lift users unthinkingly go through a set pattern of movements. He told the BBC what he had observed.He explained that when you are the only one inside a lift, you can do whatever you want –it’s your own little box.If there are two of you, you go into different corners, standing diagonally (对角线地) across from each other to create distance.When a third person enters, you will unconsciously form a triangle. And when there is a fourth person it becomes a square, with someone in every corner. A fifth person is probably going to have to stand in the middle.New entrants to the lift will need to size up the situation when the doors slide open and then act decisively. Once in, for most people the rule is simple – look down, or look at your phone. Why are we so awkward in lifts?“You don’t have enough space,” Professor Babette Renneberg, a clinical psychologist at the Free University of Berlin, told the BBC. “Usually when we meet other people we have about an arm’s length of distance between us. And that’s not possible in most elevators.”In such a small, enclosed space it becomes very important to act in a way that cannot be construed (理解) as threatening or odd. “The easiest way to do this is to avoid eye contact,” she said.4. The main purpose of the article is to _____.A. remind us to enjoy ourselves in the elevatorB. tell us some unwritten rules of elevator etiquetteC. share an interesting but awkward elevator rideD. analyze what makes people feel awkward in an elevator5. According to Gray, when people enter an elevator, they usually _____.A. turn around and greet one anotherB. look around or examine their phoneC. make eye contact with those in the elevatorD. try to keep a distance from other people6. Which of the following describes how people usually stand when there are at least two people in an elevator?7. The underlined phrase “size up” in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to _____.A. judgeB. ignoreC. put up withD. make the best ofCScientists claim to have developed a revolutionary new giant 3D concrete printer that can build a 2,500-square-foot house in just 24 hours.The 3D printer, developed by Professor Behrokh Khoshnevis from the University of Southern California, could be used to build a whole house, layer by layer, in a single day."It is basically scaling up 3D printing to the scale of building," said Khoshnevis.The giant robot replaces construction workers with a nozzle (喷嘴), which can quickly build a home based on a computer pattern, MSN News reported.Contour Crafting, as it is named, is a layered fabrication (构造) technology. Using this process, a single house or a colony of houses, each with possibly a different design, may be constructed in a single run, embedded (嵌入) in each house all the wires and pipes for electrical, plumbing and air-conditioning.The potential applications of this technology are far-reaching including in emergency, low-income, and commercial housing."Our research also addresses the application of Contour Crafting in building habitats on other planets. Contour Crafting will most probably be one of the very few feasible approaches for building structures on other planets, such as the Moon and Mars, which are being targeted for human habitation before the end of the new century," researchers said on the project website.

Dear Sir,
I am writing to request the valuable chance to be one of the home-stay families for the American students.
As an active girl, I’m quite good at English. My parents, who are kind and friendly, are in favor of my idea that I host an American student. We have a clean and comfortable house, which lies in a beautiful area of the city. Luckily, we have extra rooms for guests. My mother cooks well so the students will be able to enjoy delicious Chinese food and learn to cook. What’s more, my father is an excellent driver and we will be very glad to show foreign students around some local places of interest and some typical towns and villages in our area. I would greatly appreciate it if I could have the chance to make friends with them.
I’m looking forward to your early reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua。
