AShanghai Disney Resort has revealed its ticket prices for Disneyland claiming the lowest of all 12 Disney parks and six resorts in the world.Shanghai Disneyland ticket prices are set at 499 yuan (75 dollars) for the grand opening period (June 16-30, 2016) and regular price at 370 yuan. Its regular price for a one-day ticket is lower than its peers in Hong Kong, which is priced at 539 yuan and the Disneyland in Tokyo in Japan at 374 yuan. The regular price for a one-day ticket at the two parks in Los Angeles is $139. Tickets for Shanghai’s Disneyland will be on sale on March 28, 2016.Shanghai’s Disneyland will have it s opening day on June 16, 2016. All tickets will be date-specific and valid for admission only on the date purchased.Peak pricing for high-demand dates, including designated holidays, summer holidays and weekends, is set at 499 yuan. Special pricing will be provided to categorized guests: children (1.4m and below), seniors (65 years old and above) and guests with disabilities will receive discounts of 25 percent, infants (1m and below) receive free admission. A two-day ticket will be available at a five percent discount. On March 28, 2016, guests can obtain information on tickets through several official channels.The project has been under construction for more than six years now. Jun 16－that is, 6-16-2016－has been apparently chosen as the date of opening because the three 6s are believed to be auspicious, foretelling success.Real estate professionals believe any success of Shanghai Disney Resort would entail all-round benefits for the area. For example, visitors in huge numbers would likely spark a retail boom in Shanghai."Supplies of retail properties are really limited now and prices have more than doubled in the past 12 months. Obviously, investors believe that even a 10 square meter space for a noodle stand will be really profitable if it is close enough to Disneyland," said Lu Jianxin, a real estate agent with Shanghai Huayu Property Ltd.21.According to the passage, in which place is the regular price for a one-day ticket highest?A. Shanghai.B. Los Angeles.C. Tokyo.D. Hong Kong.22.According to the passage, how much will the two-day tickets cost if a couple go to ShanghaiDisneyland on July 16, 2016, Saturday?A. About 1900 yuan.B. About 2000 yuan.C. About 1500 yuan.D. About 1400 yuan.23.What does the underlined word “auspicious” mean?A. suspiciousB. successfulC. luckyD. unsuccessful24.What does this passage most probably come from?A. A school textbook.B. A news report.C. An advertisement.D. An introduction of a scenic spot.BGregory Talley used to sleep in a park, at an airport, or under a bridge. The 50-year-old has been homeless for more than 10 years. “It is hard. It’s hard to live homeless. You filled every day trying to find out where you are going to get something to eat. If I hadn’t found wonderful Fairfax Coun ty Kennedy Shelter, I wouldn’t know where I would be by now. I might be dead,” Talley said.According to 2015 government data, more than a half-million people in the United States are homeless on any given night. As many homeless shelters across the U.S. remain at or near capacity, the country faces complicated challenges. In his fiscal 2017 budget, President Obama proposed spending $11 billion over the next 10 years to fight family homelessness.The Kennedy Shelter is one of the facilities New Hope Housing provides for homeless families and individuals in the Washington suburbs. Pam Michell has dedicated her life to making the lives of this vulnerable population better as executive director of the nonprofit organization.“I went to Africa in 1985. And I sa w an immense amount of poverty, but I saw so much hope. And I wondered what I was doing at home in my middle-class American life and decided that I should try to do something that would bring hope to people,” Michell said. “It is convenient, homelessness j ust happened to be what was around me. So I picked that,” she added.When Michell began working with New Hope Housing 25 years ago, its three shelters had about 80 beds. Now, it has 350 beds and serves about 1,500 homeless people every year. Michell has expanded the program beyond just providing beds for the night.“We do outreach, we do prevention, we do permanent housing, we do transitional housing. We have an education program with all sorts of different things to move people to end their homelessness,” she said. “Our Out of Poverty program tries to teach the shelter residents self-reliance and work values, and includes courses on planning and personal responsibility.”25.Gregory Talley is mentioned in the first paragraph in order to __________.A. introduce the topicB. support the main ideaC. draw the reader’s attentionD. raise the reader’s awareness26.From the passage we know that the Kennedy Shelter ____________.A. is a nonprofit organizationB. is a place for the homeless to spend the nightC. is located in WashingtonD.C. D. provides 350 beds for 1500 people27.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. There were homeless people everywhere Michell went.B. New Hope Housing does not just provide beds for the night.C. New Hope Housing has three shelters for the homeless.D. Michell started to work with New Hope Housing in 1985.CAs an English learner, you want to be able to understand and to discuss a subject. You want to have the ability to express your opinions, and to support that opinion with a clear argument. You can learn these skills by learning how to debate.In everyday conversation, Americans use the word debate to talk about discussions among people. When people debate, they give their own opinions about a topic.Another use of the word debate describes a more formal discussion. Debaters work on a team to convince a judge that their opinion about a topic has more value than the opposite side’s.Debate is part of the tradition of forensics started in Ancient Greece. The Greeks thought that, in a democracy, people needed to have certain skills. These skills included speaking in public in favor of an opinion, and providing evidence to support one’s opinion.The Greeks supported the development of these skills by holding contests. Western education today continues the tradition with competitions between debate teams.Charles LeBeau wrote a book with Michael Lubetsky called “Discover Debate” to help teachers understand a simple way to teach debate. The method depends on creating a kind of visual aid known as a graphic organizer. The visual aid reflects the way we talk about critical thinking and developing an argument.Students work with the idea of building their argument just like they would build a house. They would draw their house on paper or a whiteboard and list:•The focus of the discussion or the debate is the roof.•The reasons and arguments are the “pillars” to support the roof.•The data, numbers, examples, and expert opinions provide the concrete foundation.The house approach gives students who have not experienced a debate in their own culture a way to plan what they will say to support their message.28.You are debating when ____________.A. you have an idea and discuss it with your classmates or friendsB. you are learning a foreign language and discussing a subjectC. you speak in protection of your opinions trying to convince othersD. you express your opinions in a competition before a judge29.The book “Discover Debate” is intended for ___________.A. teachersB. debatersC. speech competitorsD. English students30.What can be inferred from the passage?A. Ancient Greeks were fond of debating with opponents.B. Ancient Greeks made speeches in public to express their ideas.C. There are debating lessons in all Western schools today.D. Drawing a house before making a speech helps the speaker a lot.31.What does the underlined sentence (the last paragraph) suggest?A. A house is helpful to planning a speech.B. The house approach is useful for language learners.C. It’s a good idea for English learners to learn the house approach.D. Debate is a must for all students in the world.DThere was daylight. Glass could tell that much without moving, but otherwise he had no idea of the time. He lay where he fell down the day before. His anger had carried him to the edge of the clearing (森林的空地), but his fever stopped him there.The bear had hurt Glass from the outside and now the fever hurt from within. It felt to Glass as if hehad been hollowed out. He trembled uncontrollably, dreaming of the warmth of a fire. Looking around, he saw that no smoke rose from the remains of the fire in the campsite. No fire, no warmth.He wondered if he could at least go back to his blanket, and made a tentative effort to move. The movement caused something deep in his chest. He felt a cough coming on and tensed his stomach muscles to stop it. The muscles were painful from earlier battles, and despite his effort, the cough broke out. It felt like his inside was being torn out through his throat.When the pain of coughing decreased, he focused again on the blanket.I have to get warm. It took all his strength to lift his head. The blanket lay about twenty feet away. He rolled from his side to stomach, moving his left arm out in front of his body. Glass bent his left leg, then straightened it to push. Between his one good arm and his one good leg, he push-dragged himself across the clearing. Each breath drew like a cutting through his throat, and he felt again the trembling in his wounded back. He stretched to grab the blanket when it came within reach. He pulled it around his shoulders, embracing the weighty warmth of the Hudson Bay wool. The he passed out.Through the long morning, Glass’s body fought against the infection of his wounds. He slipped between consciousness, unconsciousness and a confusing state, aware of his surroundings like random pages of a book, scattered glimpses of a story with no continuity to bind them. When conscious, he wished desperately to sleep again, if only to gain respite (暂缓) from the pain. Yet each interlude (中间) of sleep came with a terrifying thought that he might never wake again. Is this what it’s like to die?32.From the passage, we know that __________.A. Glass was a hunter who used to hunt bears in the forestB. Even though Glass was wounded, he killed the bear at lastC. After fighting with a bear, Glass was seriously woundedD. Glass lay in the clearing for a week without being found33.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. All the other people were searching for Glass when he was lying in the clearing.B. Glass managed to put the blanket around his shoulders before he passed awayC. With one good arm and one good leg, Glass pushed-dragged himself back homeD. The whole morning Glass was sometimes conscious and sometimes unconscious34.Paragraph 5 of this passage mainly tells us ___________.A. how Glass was wounded by a bear and diedB. what happened to Glass before he recoveredC. why Glass tried to get his blanket backD. how Glass struggled to keep himself warm35.We can infer from the passage that ___________.A. a desire for life supported Glass to struggle against hardshipsB. life in the forest used to be hard for both animals and manC. Hudson Bay was a small city where best wool was producedD. Glass wanted to sleep as much as possible to recover soon第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

A new neighbor had just moved into the apartment below him. The newcomer was deaf, or seemed to be, because he played his stereo loud enough for the whole building to hear.On the first day he heard the stereo rocking over, Edward marched downstairsand politely told the newcomer that his stereo was too loud. He asked the new tenant to turn the volume down and keep it down as long as he lived in the building.The tenant appeared surprised and embarrassed, and said, “Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t realize it was that loud.”So, Edward returned upstairs, feeling good, because he had taken a stand and politely let the newcomer know that loud music was not going to be tolerated. Thenext day all was quiet, and Edward continued to be pleased with himself. The following day, Edward thought it must be Fourth of July, because a marching bandwas playing on his street. In fact, it was the new neighbor who was playing his musicloud again.Edward was not one to repeat himself, feeling that each time you repeated yourself, you diminished the value of your words. So, he did what he always did withrude neighbors－grin and bear it. Eventually, they would move away. What else areyou going to do?In Los Angles a year ago, a woman had complained to her upstairs neighborthat he was playing his drums too loud and too often. The drummer repeatedly ignored her. One day the woman walked upstairs and shot the drummer in the headand his girlfriend in the chest. The woman was sentenced to prison for 20 years.The dead drummer won’t bother anyone with his drums, but the woman mightbe wishing now that she had learned to grin and bear it. If she were still living in her apartment, she could always move. When you’re in prison, you don’t have that option.4.The man living below where Edward lived was .A.a deaf manB.the owner of the houseC.a tenantD.an old neighbor5.What did Edward always do with rude neighbors?A.Grinning and bearing it.B.Persuading them to stop repeatedly.C.Shouting them to dead.D.Moving away from the rude neighbors.6.The woman killed her neighbor because .A.he ignored her advice repeatedlyB.she could not stand his playing the guitar too loudC.she could not put up with him any longerD.he played the drums too often7.The author writes the last paragraph to prove that .A.being in prison means the loss of freedomB.grinning and bearing it is the best policyC.Edward should follow the example of the womanD.the woman was right to kill her neighborCPicture the scene: You come home after work feeling too exhausted to cook –only to find a delicious meal worthy of a Michelin-starred restaurant waiting for you. It sounds like a fantasy, but it could be about to come true thanks to a robot chef developed by British scientists.Those scientists have come up with a set of robotic arms so smart that they are capable of cooking meals all by themselves. The device will be sold from as early as 2017 as part of a purpose-built high-tech kitchen.Scientists at Moley Robotics spent almost 18 years developing the hands. According to its creators, the arms can chop, stir, whisk and baste well enough to recreate almost anything you would care to eat, whether it is a simple home-cooked supper, or a complicated creation designed by a world-class chef. The hands move a little slowly, hovering strangely above the work surface whenever they are not busy, but they imitate human movements closely enough that they can do things such as wiping a spoon on the edge of a pan to prevent drips.Mr Oleynik, who is leading the project, said, “All the things which are possible with the hand are possible here. There is no limitation. A lot of people want to go to Michelin-starred restaurants, but they are quite expensive and may be quite far from the home. This is an opportunity for people to enjoy very good food, and for a reasonable price. ”The only cuisine that is off the robot’s menu at the moment is sushi, which requires extremely steady pressure and nimble fingers to make, but the team plan to conquer that as well by the time it goes on sale.8. People go to Michelin-starred restaurants in order to______.A. appreciate car tires.B. enjoy delicious mealsC. see the new robot chefsD. escape from work9. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. British scientistsB. The robot chef’s armsC. Cooks at restaurantsD. Household wives10. Which kind of food CAN’T the robot chef cook at present?A. BreadB. BeefC. SushiD. Sandwich11. What can we infer from the passage?A. Hands of a robot chef can perform exactly like a cook.B. Robot chefs are available at shopping malls.C. Michelin-starred restaurants are suitable for many people.D. It is uncertain when the robot can cook all kinds of food.DHas this happened to you? You’re about to drift off to sleep when suddenly you feel like you’re falling or coming down on a roller coaster.You then wake up to realize that you’re safe in your bed. You may have been confused or frightened for a second or two and your heart may be beating faster. You may have also felt the muscles in your body jerk(抽搐) when this all happened. Did you ever wonder why?This falling sensation, together with a body movement known as a “sleep start”, is what doctors and scientists call a myoclonic(肌阵挛的)jerk, and it usually happens right before going into deeper stages of sleep. Here’s why doctors think the falling feeling and myoclonic jerks happen. When you fall asleep, normally your body temperature goes down and your heart start to beat just a little slower. This is because your brain signals your body to relax to prepare for sleep. When your muscles are relaxed, you go into the very first stages of sleep, but you’re not sleeping too deeply yet.This brain activity may cause your larger muscles to contract(收缩) a little bit. In response, another part of your brain will make up a very quick mini-dream to go along with what is happening. You might think this would take a while, but your brain works so fast that it makes up the story almost at the same instant that your muscles jerk.During this light sleep, you can be awakened easily. People who wake up during this light sleep believe they haven’t fallen asleep yet. That’s why you may think that your body jerked right before you were about to fall asleep.Myoclonic jerk are a normal part of sleep. Most people have them at one time or another. But many people don’t realize their muscles are jerking during night sleep if it doesn’t wake them up.So the next time you dream about falling and wake up in a sweat, don’t worry! Your body is just telling your muscles to relax and get some rest!12. People sometimes wake up during a light sleep because______.A. they are disturbed by others.B. they are too tired to fall asleep.C. their bodies are preparing for sleep.D. they believe their lives are in danger.13. What does the underlined part “ what is happening” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The body jerkB. The mini- dreamC. The slow heartbeatD. The falling body temperature14. The author thinks myoclonic jerks during sleep are _____.A. worryingB. usualC. abnormalD. useful15. It can be inferred that myoclonic jerks ________.A. lead to muscle diseaseB. happen in a deep sleepB. are related to brain disease D. don’t always wake people up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。

No wonder co-working spaces are becoming so popular: they permit self-employed individuals to feel like they are part of all office environment, while making them get some work done too. But renting a co-working space does cost money.Now a Swedish project is aiming to change that by turning people’s under-used homes into temporary co-working spaces, available to freelancers for free. Hoffice was started by freelancers Christofer Gradin Franzen and Johline Zandra about a year ago in Stockholm when they invited a few people into their home office to work together. It was a great success, and the project has since spread to a number of cities in Europe, North and South America, Australia, India and Japan. Anyone can sign up and offer their home space as a free co-working space, or go find a Hoffice near them.On a Hoffice day, everyone arrives and starts work at a certain hour. After 45 minutes, everyone gets up to take a break, stretch, do qigong or yoga for 10 to 15 minutes. Afterwards, people can gather around again, and re-state their intentions and goals for the rest of the work day, as a way to motivate each other. Meals can be eaten together at a certain hour, potluck-style(家常饭)or by bringing your own lunch.This process creates an encouraging and supportive work environment. As some freelancers describe, “By working at Hoffice, we give ourselves and each other the gift to spend our days in a social working environment, wherewe are extremely productive without ignoring our other human needs. We also make sure to give us and each other what we need to feel calm, happy, inspired and creative during the worki ng day. ”So Hoffice is not just about sharing space；it's also about a free exchange of ideas. And perhaps the best thing is that Hoffices are free to use.4. Hoffice was started to________.A. change people’s attitude to workB. encourage people to be more socialC. improve people’s working conditionsD. provide a co-working space for free5. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3？A. How people respond to Hoffice.B. How a Hoffice day works.C. What people share at Hoffice.D. What Hoffice means to people.6. Some freelancers’descriptions of Hoffice suggest that they________.A. benefit a lot from the working styleB. work longer than beforeC. expect more people to join themD. can’t be separated from each other7. What do we know about Hoffice according to the text?A. It is becoming increasingly popular.B. It has been around for quite a few years.C. It has created many new job opportunities.D. It is suitable for people from all walks of life.3.Billboard Music Awards of the Year 2015 goes to Taylor Swift, a singer-songwriter, who has shaped and inspired the American music industry with her success.When T aylor Swift first came to public notice, she was a 17-year-old newcomer who loved singing to her own guitar. She was far more enthusiastic than skilled, but apparently threw spark of superb talent.Four years later, Swift has become a multi-awards winner, with the biggest selling albums. For her consummate performance, Taylor Swift wasnamed Billboard magazine’s woman in 2011. She is the youngest artist to receive honors and several Billboard Music Awards, among them Top Country Album for the five-time platinum (白金) selling Speak Now, her third album that was released that year.“Taylor has shown the power of good songwriting with music of styles.”said Bill Werde, Billboard’s editorial director, “And at such a young age, Taylor has already made a major impact on music and has been an unbelievable role model for promising artists and young woman everywhere.”Swift is used to breaking chart records and winning honors since her career started.

Swift has spent the past year on the Speak NOW World Tour in support of her third album, and now she’s getting ready to go further.According to a recent interview with The New Yorker magazine, Swift has so far written about 10 songs for a 2016 album. She said the new album is about feelings of growing up and becoming an adult.“They’re sad if I'm being honest.” Swift told The New Yorker. “They’re about my heartbreaks and my moving on. But more importantly, they are about achieving contentment. You’re not always going to be ridiculously happy as you grow up. ”8.

Billboard Music Awards in America4.If asked if space exploration should continue, most Americans would give an immediate response either in favor of continuing or in favor of ending space exploration. A common response would be that space exploration is a waste of money. An average American, uneducated on the subject, might believe that the government is wasting billions of dollars on the research that has no value. Someone strange to the subject might say that a space shuttle goes up once in a while and that is about all that happens. Research is ongoing and continues when there are no shuttles being launched. This also costs the government money. Does the extreme cost of space exploration make sense?One argument is that the government is wasting money on the research not being used on Earth. Actually, the money goes to workers and scientists that support National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASN) missions, and goes to major companies that play important roles in major sectors of the US economy. Boeing is a partner of NASA for aircraft, the same company that makes commercial aircraft for the airline industry.Another benefit to continuing space exploration is the many technologies it provides., The artificial (人造的) heart resulted from experiments on the space shuttle. The handheld Jaws of Life used to save victims from car accidents resulted from the system used to separate the space shuttle from its booster rockets. Insulation (隔热板) in homes that keeps them warm and energy efficient is based on the technology used to insulate the space shuttle.There are direct benefits to the economy provided by NASA missions as well as those technologies. These advances are found in food, building materials, medical procedures and the vehicles we drive. While it can be proven that billions of dollars that could be used elsewhere is being spent on space exploration, the benefits it provides outweigh the terrible aspects. As a matter of fact, the money spent helps to improve the quality of our lives.12. How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?A. By offering analyses.B. By making comparisons.C. By giving some examples.D. By presenting research findings.13. The function of Jaws of Life is to_____.A. save people from traffic accidents.B. do experiments on the space shuttleC. keep houses warm and energy efficientD. separate the space shuttle from its booster rockets.14. In the author’s opinion, space exploration______.A. has changed our life completelyB. costs too much of our timeC. benefits us in many waysD. has nothing to do with us15. What would be the best title for the text?A. Benefits of space explorationB. Is space exploration worth the cost?C. How to make space exploration affordableD. Missions of the NASA space shuttle program二、未分类(共2题)munication has always been one of the basic keys to success. They say great public speakers are born and not made, but there are always some tricks of the trade which will help you in becoming a great orator. 16 Read, Study and LearnReading and studying helps you to learn different words and ways to convey your idea. Watch how other speakers talk. 17 Learn from the experts and get tips from them if you can.Posture is ImportantWho said that communication is just speaking words? 18 If you stand confidently or if you are sitting up straight, it expresses that you arefocused on what you’re doing and that you know what you are speaking about. It also shows how much you value their time and attention.Show Enthusiasm19 Even a tech novice (新手) would get enthusiastic about the new invention when Jobs would present it. It’s because he had that enthusiasm which would spread to other people in a heartbeat. So you must show enthusiasm in what you are speaking about, or it will seem that even you are uninterested in what you have to say.Welcome Questions20 Allow your audience some time to ask you questions. This stage will help you determine if you have effectively shared your knowledge, if your audience took notice and listened to you and if there are any parts that you need to discuss again or clarify.A. Pay attention to their facial expressions and hand gestures.B. Communication is not only done orally.C. Have you ever heard the late Steve Jobs holding a speech?D. Here are some tricks which will help you in becoming a great speaker.E. Once you have gotten used to it, your confidence will grow and it will show.F. This is decisive in any speeches that you make.G. How you stand or sit also communicates different ideas to others.2.Mass media are very important tools of communication, through 41 information is passed to even the farthest end of the world. They 42 (able) us to communicate with each other by 43 (help) us to overcome the barriers of time and space.Mass media function in various 44 (way).

Television and radio broadcasting provide us with a big variety of programmes every day. Films, books, magazines, etc. give us 49 (day) amusement.In a word, mass media 50 (be) all the more important in the future and their function will enormously expand.

I chose December 15 as the starting date, which marked three years since my mother died from heart disease. She was one of the most generous people that I have ever known. She always thought of others first and certainly serves as an inspiration to me.I had a rather busy day yesterday, ironic (具有讽刺意义的) for someone who is unemployed right now. In the morning I went to the gym, and unsuccessfully got the phone call from the unemployment office for some job searching. Before I knew it, it was noon. I grabbed a quick lunch and rushed down to a meeting. On my way to Connecticut, I wondered if I would see someone that I would feel forced to give my first $ 10 to. I was running late and decided to do itafterwards.After the meeting I had about half an hour to find the first person of my Year of Giving! I decided to check out DuPont Circle. I had met a guy there named Jerry once and thought he would willingly accept my $ 10. He wasn’t there, but I did see a man sitting by himself who looked really lonely, so I approached him. Now I had to figure out what I was going to say. I think I said something like, “Hi, can I sit down here?” “I would like to know if I could give you $ 10.” He asked me to repeat what I had said, I did; then he looked at me funny, got up and left.I then started walking south where I spotted a man standing by the bus stop on Connecticut Ave. He appeared to be in his 60s. I don’t know what drew me to him, but I thought I would make my second attempt. I was a bit nervous and asked him which bus came by that stop. Then I explained that I was starting a year-long project to give $ 10 to someone every day and that I wanted to give my $ 10 for today to him. The gentleman, I later found out that his name was Ed, responded without hesitation that he could not accept my offer and that there were many people more deserving the money than him. This was exactly one of the things that I hoped would happen. People would think of others before themselves.4. The author set the starting date on December 15 to ____.A. help the charityB. honor his motherC. make an explorationD. fulfill a wish for his mum5. In the author’s first attempt to give away the money, ____.A. he was considered ridiculousB. he hesitated for a long timeC. he was forced to donate the moneyD. he had no time to take action6. In the author’s second attempt, the gentleman refused his offer because ____.A. he didn’t need other’s helpB. he thought more for othersC. he didn’t care about moneyD. he wanted to get more money7. We can refer that the author was inspired by ____.A. true friendshipB. his own kindnessC. generous donationsD. human’s good natureCOn the banks of Tanzania’s Lake Eyasi lives the world’s last hunter-gatherer tribe (部落) —the Hadza. They don’t grow food, raise animals or build houses. Instead they live a life unchanged for more than ten thousand years.Their world is one of complete freedom — something modern society can barely imagine and is unlikely to ever experience, let alone have the skills to stay alive. Text messages and phone calls don’t exist. Nor do cars and electricity. No jobs, timetables, and social structures. No laws, taxes and unbelievably, no money — the closest thing to currency (交易，流通) is the trade for a pair of shorts with a neighboring tribe.We spent our time with the Hadza hunting baboons (狒狒), a daily activity for the men. Their land is packed with sharp bushes, poisonous snakes and man-eating lions. But a successful hunting trip is the difference between eating and going hungry.The Hadza diet consists mainly of honey, fruit and meat. Men often hunt in pairs to shoot animals with bows and arrows. The Hadza show us how to track animals, from baboons to snakes to lions. They are hugely skilled with their handmade bows and arrows — we have a go and barely get the arrow to go three feet in front of us.The language of the Hadza is believed to be the oldest still-spoken language known to man. The Hadza don’t have conflict, and have no memory of starvation. Their population never reaches numbers that cannot be supported through hunting or gathering. They never get from their land more than they need.Unlike modern-day office workers, the Hadza enjoy an extraordinary amount of free time. Their “work” — hunting for food —takes up around five hours of their day. They’ve been in sucha state of peaceful existence for thousands of years.8. We can learn from the text that the Hadza_______.A. lead a very primitive (原始) lifeB. live on traditional agricultureC. have their own system of currency（流通）D. show a lot of interest in new technology9. Which of the following can describe the Hadza’s environment?A. Stressful.B. Comfortable.C. Exciting.D. Dangerous.10. The relationship between the Hadza and nature_______.A. is going wrongB. is full of conflictC. is in perfect harmonyD. is changing all the time11. Why does the author come to visit the Hadza?A. To study their native language.B. To get to know their way of life.C. To learn survival skills from them.D. To persuade them to protect animals.DChildren are hooked on computers. Some spend up to six hours a day on their gadgets. They can be playing games live with others elsewhere in the world, updating their status on social media, texting friends or looking for the latest app to download to their tablets or smart phones.This worried Martin Strott, headmaster of the Old Hall School in Wellington, in the west of England. He was so concerned that he challenged his students to take part in a week of ‘digital detox’. Strott told the local newspaper, the Shropshire Star, that he encourages the pupils to have a good knowledge of the computer from a young age, but is concerned that too much screen time will affect the development of their social skills. He said that this over-reliance on digital devices “erodes family time and they’re missing out on messages from body language and facial expressions from those around them”.According to the headmaster, the parents are happy with the movement. But what about the children? Nine-year-old Fred usually spends around two hours on his gadgets at home after school and aro und 12 hours on weekends. For him, the digital detox experience was “really hard”. Fred spent it playing outside, especially basketball. He said that he’ll probably engage in different activities from now on but he did miss his phone and online games.The idea of keeping children away from their tech for a while to prevent ‘addiction’ is not particularly new. There have been similar movements in the US. But are they effective in the longrun? Well, even if kids go back to their gadgets, the hope is tha t at least they’ll think about how they use their time.What about you: do you spend too many hours hooked on your digital devices?12. According to the passage, which of the following is not the reason why children are hooked on computers __________.A. developing their social skills by having some online conversations.B. searching for the newest app and install them to their tablets or smart phones.C. playing games live with people from other placesD. releasing some new information about their status on social media13. Which of the following words can replace the word “erodes” in Para 2?A. enrichesB. savesC. adjustsD. ruins14. According to the article, where else can you find digital detox movements?A. In Asian countriesB. In the USC. In JapanD. In China15. Why did the headmaster challenge his students to take part in digital detox?A. Because he wanted to encourage his students to have a good knowledge of computer.B. Because he wanted them to learn more about body language and facial expressions.C. Because he hoped to transfer children’s attention to something meaningful.D. Because he was pushed by many worried parents.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。

高中英语真题：2016届高考考前模拟考试试题.doc一、阅读理解(共5题)1.A Look at the Festival This Summer21．What is the most exciting part of Sheep Music?A．The garden party．B．The advertisement．C．The family feel．D．The parade．22．If you want to take your children to a festival，which one is the best choice?A．The Firegathering．B．Sheep Music．C．The Big Chill．D．Summer Sundae．23．What is the similarity of these festivals?A．They entertain attendants with music．B．They have a long history．C．They need advance booking．D．They can be compared with Glastonbury．2.When you attend children’s birthdays or a long-expected family holiday，we usually want to keep those important moments in mind with a photograph．But if you’re one of those people who can’t stop snappingphotos at an important event，beware—you could end up forgetting it all in a flash．Experts have warned that the addiction to recording every moment of our lives could be having an adverse effect on our memories．Maryanne Garry，a New Zealand psychology professor，has been studying how the frequent taking of photos might change childhood memories．“I think the problem is that people are forgetting to experience the moment，”she says．Parents at the park taking one photo after another of their children，for example，are actually paying less attention to what is happening around them．The picture only captures a small part of the total experience．And because parents remember less about these important events，they become less effective in their role as the key people who help children learn how to talk about their experiences．As a result，children’s own childhood memories are reduced．The idea that we are experiencing less as we record more got psychologist Linda Henkel thinking．She wanted to explore how photographs shape our memories．Henkel，who researches human memory at Fairfield University in Connecticut，did an experiment by sending groups of students to the university’s art museum．The students observed some objects and photographed others．Then，back at the laboratory，they were given a memory test．Henkel found what she called a“photo-taking effect”．The students remembered fewer of the objects that they had taken photos of，and they remembered fewer details about those objects．She says herstudents’memories were worse because they were relying on the camera to remember the details for them．“As soon as you hit‘click’on that camera，it’s as if you’ve outsourced your memory．”she says．24．What does the word“it”in Paragraph 1 refer to?A．An important event．B．A child’s birthday．C．A valuable photograph．D．A family holiday．25．According to Paragraph 3，why are children’s memories reduced?A．Flash lights are causing children to forget more things．B．Paren ts are not interested in listening to children’s experiences．C．Children are more interested in taking photos than experiencing．D．Parents are less effective in helping children discuss their experiences．26．How did Henkel develop her theory about t he“photo-taking effect”?A．By carrying out an experiment．B．By giving a questionnaire．C．By interviewing a group of students．D．By researching the findings of the others．27．What’s the purpose of this passage?A．To introduce a new discovery in taking photos．B．To discuss the effect of photo-taking on memory．C．To explain how to use cameras in an effective way．D．To describe the ways of remembering valuable experiences．3.Jose Andre Montano Baina was born and raised in the town of Totora，Bolivia—not exactly the home of jazz．But now he is taking the Bolivian and the world music scene by storm．He has already performed in some of the country’s top occasions including the Legislative Palace and alongside famous musicians like Bolivian rocker Glen Vargas—what’s so great about that? How about the fact that Jose is just seven years old and，has no vision!The young musician began to show his extraordinary music talent at the age of four when he started playing the drums with a high standard of ability and skills，which are usually played by artists three times his age．After mastering them，he quickly moved on to the piano and by the age of five had formed a jazz band! And，while the young boy knows every jazz song in the book and can play them all with great ease and confidence，it is not the only kind of music he enjoys．This Bolivian prodigy(神童)has various musical taste and isn’t limited to jazz．He also loves listening to blues，heavy metal，tango，bolero and anything in between!His extremely proud father is quick to admit that he has nothing to do with his son’s unusual talent．In fact he didn’t even know much about jazz until Jose started to play．“I didn’t know jazz before，he got me into it．It’s as if he was born a jazz chip(芯片)inside him，I don’t know how to explain how it came about；it’s like the jazz was already inside him．”His father recalled．As for the young rising superstar，he leads a pretty normal life despite all the fame．Just like the rest of you，he goes to school，does homework and yes，has chores assigned (派给)to him as well !28．What is the text mainly about?A．Young blind jazz prodigy rises in Bolivia．B．Jazz chip is found inside the prodigy．C．To educate a jazz prodigy in successful ways．D．Bolivia’s jazz prodigy performs different songs．29．What can we learn about Jose Andre from the text?A．He made performing tours throughout the world．B．He was born exactly in the home of jazz．C．His father helped a great deal in his success．D．He had talent in music though he was blind．30．What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A．Jose Andre is now a famous superstar．B．Great fame has changed Jose Andre greatly．C．Jose Andre still lives his normal life as before．D．Jose Andre devotes all his spare time to music．31．What might be the author’s purpose in writing this text? A．To advertise Jose Andre’s music works．B．To show the way to bring up the prodigy．C．To tell us how to deal with great fame．D．To tell us the story of a jazz prodigy．4.Characters in novels don’t always do what the writer wants them to do．Sometimes they cause trouble，take on lives of their own，or even work against the writer．It’s not just a problem for inexperienced authors：famed children’s noveli st Roald Dahl said he got the main character in his book Matilda so“wrong”that when he’d finished his first version，he threw it away and started again．Of course it’s not the characters’fault．The problem lies with the author．Take Stephen King，who admitted that writing working-class characters is more difficult nowadays because his own circumstances have changed．“It is definitely harder，”King said．“When I wrote Carrie many years ago，I was one step away from physical labour．”This is also true for characters’ages，added King．“When you have small children，it is easy to write young characters because you observe them and you have them in your life all the time．But your kids grow up．It’s been harder for me to write about this little 12-year-old girl in my new book because my models are gone．”For other authors，such as Karen Fowler，there’s one quality that canstop a character in its tracks：boredom．“I had particular problems with the main character in my historical novel Sister Noon，”s he says．“She had attitudes about race and religion that seemed appropriate to me for her time and class，but they were not attitudes I liked．Eventually I grew quite bored with her．You can write a book about a character you dislike or a character you disagree with，but I don’t think you can write a book about a character who bores you．”According to Neel Mukherjee，it was Adinath，a character in The Lives of Others，who made him work the hardest．“I think I struggled because it’s difficult to write a c haracter whose most prominent personal feature is weakness，as Adinath’s is，without making that feature define him．”Mukherjee says．But a troublesome character is far from an unwelcome guest，he continues，arguing that“when characters work against the author they come alive and become unpredictable”．“That is a fantastic thing to happen，”Mukherjee says．“I celebrate it．It is one of the great，lucky gifts given to a writer．”32．What can we infer about Stephen King’s book Carrie?A．It was his most difficult book to write．B．It was the first successful novel King wrote．C．There were few children featured in the story．D．Some of its main characters were working class．33．Why did Karen Fowler have trouble writing the main character in her novel Sister Noon?A．She disagreed with the character’s attitudes．B．The age difference between the two was too large．C．She found the character very uninteresting．D．The historical setting made accuracy difficult．34．What does Neel Mukherjee think of his difficult-to-write characters?A．They are a sign that the story is not realistic．B．They are often the most interesting．C．They should be praised by an authors．D．They need to be researched more thoroughly．35．In which part of the newspaper would you expect to find the passage?A．Careers．B．Culture．C．Entertainment．D．Lifestyle．5.Developing a better relationship with parents is important for most of the people．36 For example，some adult children believe that parents are not able to understand their life styles while some believe parents want to control their lives．Here are some tips on how to develop a better relationship with your parents．37 Love your parents for who they are，not for who you want them to be．Realize how much they have done in order to give you the best life possible．Recognize the difference in your respective ages．Priorities(优先处理的事)change as a person grows older and wiser．Respect the way they live and in return，they will respect the way you live．Take your parents’advice seriously．Listen to their stories and learn from their past experiences．Pa rents don’t want you to make the same mistakes they did and it hurts them to see their children go through any difficult times．Realize that your parents are not trying to control you．3839 Make an effort to spend quality time with your parents．Remember to visit them as often as you can．Get involved in their activities．Parents love to share the excitements of their lives with their children．Listen to their adventures，as parents often want their children to hear their latest news．Make an effort to communicate with your parents more often．40 Ask for advice when it’s needed．Listen and accept their concerns．Try to usestatements such as，“I will certainly consider what you just said”，or“I would love to hear more about this in person．”Communicating openly will make them have more confidence in you．A．Manage your time better．B．Share the parts of your life with them．C．It’s never too late to express your love．D．But you need to plan another visit time．E．They only want to tell you what is the best for you．F．Understand the difference between you and your parents．G．However，becoming older creates some distance from parents．二、完型填空(共1题)1.I still remember it was in the winter of 1990 that，together with the help of my older sister，I 41 down my wishes for Christmas onto a piece of paper．How I wished on Christmas Eve my grandest wish would be 42 and placed under

His family were very poor farmers, and there was never enough to eat. Frank decided he did not want to be farmer. He took a short business course, and went to work as a salesman in a large city.Woolworth realized he had a natural skill for showing goods to attract people’s interest, but he soon learned something more important. One day his boss told him to sell some odds and ends (小商品) for as much as he could get. Frank put all these things on one table with a sign which said five cents each. People fought and pushed to buy the things and the table was soon cleared.Soon afterwards, Woolworth opened his own store., selling goods at five and ten cents. But he had another lesson to learn before he became successful. That is, if you want to make money by selling low-price goods, you have to buy them in large quantities directly form the factories. Once, for example, Woolworth went to Germany and placed an order for knives. The order was so large that the factory had to keep running 24 hours a day for a whole year. In this way, the price of the knives was cut down by half.By 1919, Woolworth had over 1000 stores in the US and Canada, and opened his first store in London. He made many millions and his name became famous throughout the world. He always run his business according to strict rules, of which the most important was: “ The customer is always right.”36. Frank took a short business course in order to ____________.A. earn more money for his familyB. learn something from a salesmanC. get away from the farmD. get enough to eat.37. The price of the knives was cut down by half because ______________.A. the factory workers worked 24 hours a day.B. knives were ordered in large quantities directly from the factory.C. the knives were made in Germany, where labour (劳动力) was cheap.D. the knives were produced in one factory.38. _____________ make Woolworth a world-famous man.A. His business skills and his wealth.B. The low price of the goods he sold.C. His trip to Germany and his huge order of knives.D. His natural skill for showing things.39. The belief that : “ The customer is always right” suggests that _______________.A. whenever there is a quarrel between the customer and shop assistant, the customers arealways right.B. If you want to succeed, the rule is the only way.C. stores must always follow the customer’s orders if they want to make more money.D. stores should do their best to meet the customer’s needs if they want to be successful.BThere are many ways to find a job. It can be as easy as walking into a neighborhood store to look at its announcement board. Local stores often have areas where people can put small signs telling what kind of service they need or can provide. Such services include caring for children or cleaning houses.Or, job searchers can look in the newspaper. Local newspapers have employment announcements placed by companies seeking workers.Another popular tool for finding jobs is the Internet. For example, people in four hundred and fifty cities around the world can use the Craigslist Web site to buy objects, meet people or find a job. Craigslist says that it receives two million new job listings each month.Another useful way to find a job is through a college or university. For example, students at the University of Texas in Austin can go to the Career Exploration Center to get help in finding a job. Of course, looking for a job requires knowing what kind of work you want to do. For example, there is a book called “What Color is Your Parachute (降落伞)?” by Richard Bolles. This book has been helping people choose a career (职业) since it was first published in nineteen seventy.Some experts also help people find jobs. Susan W. Miller owns a company called California Career Services in Los Angeles. She says her company helps people find jobs by first helping them understand their strengths, goals and interests. Then she provides them with methods and resources to help them find the right job.40. What is the passage mainly about?A. Finding a job.B. College students’ part-time jobs.C. Craigslist Web site.D. The relation between study and work.41. “What Color is Your Parachute?” is a book which gives tips to those who want to _____.A. work on the airplaneB. buy a parachuteC. publish a bookD. find a suitable job42. It can be learned from the passage that ______.A. companies often put job information in local shopsB. the Internet is the most popular tool for job hunters in the USAC. Susan W. Miller’s company is helping people choose careersD. California Career Services mainly serves university students43. How many ways of finding a job are mentioned in the passage?A. Three.B. Four.C. Five.D. Six.CLanguage is always changing. In a society where life continues year after year with few changes, the language does not change either. The earliest known languages had difficult grammar but a small, limited vocabulary. Over the century, the grammar changed, and the vocabulary grew. For example, the English and Spanish people who came to America during the sixteenth century gave names to all the new plants and animals they found. In this way, hundreds of new words were introduced into English and Spanish vocabularies. Today life is changing very fast, and language is changing fast too.There are several major language families in the world. Some scientists say there are nine main families, but other scientists divide them differently. The languages in each family areconnected, and scientists think that they came from the same parent language. About 3 percent of the people in the world speak languages that are not in these major families.44. The early language had ________.A. a lot of problemsB. words and easy grammarC. words but no grammarD. grammar but not many words45. In the next few hundred years we can expect language to _____.A. stay exactly the sameB. change a great dealC. change only a littleD. ask more words and drop some grammar46. What this article shows is that _____.A. languages change fastB. languages really don't want to changeC. language really with changes in societyD.

I chose December 15 as the starting date, which marked three years since my mother died from heart disease. She was one of the most generous people that I have ever known. She always thought of others first and certainly serves as an inspiration to me.I had a rather busy day yesterday, ironic ( 拥有讽刺意义的 ) for someone who is unemployed right now. In the morning I went to the gym, and unsuccessfully got the phone call from the unemployment office for some job searching. Before I knew it, it was noon. I grabbed a quick lunch and rushed down to a meeting. On my way to Connecticut, I wondered if I would see someone that I would feel forced to give my first $ 10 to. I was running late and decided to do itafterwards.After the meeting I had about half an hour to find the first person of my Year of Giving! I decidedto check out DuPont Circle. I had met a guy there named Jerry once and thought he wouldwillingly accept my $ 10. He wasn ’ t there, but I did see a man sitting by himself who looked reallylonely, so I approached him. Now I had to figure out what I was going to say. I think I saidsomething like,“ Hi, can I sit down here?”“ I would like to know if I could10.” giveHe you $asked me to repeat what I had said, I did; then he looked at me funny, got up and left.I then started walking south where I spotted a man standing by the bus stop on ConnecticutAve. He appeared to be in his 60s. I don’ t know what drew me to him, but I thought I would make my second attempt. I was a bit nervous and asked him which bus came by that stop. Then Iexplained that I was starting a year-long project to give $ 10 to someone every day and that Iwanted to give my $ 10 for today to him. The gentleman, I later found out that his name was Ed,responded without hesitation that he could not accept my offer and that there were many peoplemore deserving the money than him. This was exactly one of the things that I hoped would happen.People would think of others before themselves.4.The author set the starting date on December 15 to ____.A.help the charityB.honor his motherC.make an explorationD.fulfill a wish for his mum5.In the author’ s first attempt to give away the money, ____.A.he was considered ridiculousB.he hesitated for a long timeC.he was forced to donate the moneyD.he had no time to take action6.In the author’ s second attempt, the gentleman refused his offer because ____.A. he didn ’ t need otherB.’ s helphe thought more for othersC. he didn’ t care about moneyD. he wanted to get more money7.We can refer that the author was inspired by ____.A.true friendshipB.his own kindnessC.generous donationsD.human ’ s good natureCOn the banks of Tanzania’ s Lake Eyasi lives the world-gatherer’s tribelast hunter(部落 ) —the Hadza. They don ’ t grow food, raise animals or build housesInstead. they live a lifeunchanged for more than ten thousand years.Their world is one of complete freedom—something modern society can barely imagine andis unlikely to ever experience, let alone have the skills to stay alive. Text messages and phone callsdon ’ t exist. Nor do cars and electricity. No jobs, timetables, and social structures. No laws, taxesand unbelievably, no money — the closest thing to currency ( 交易，流通 ) is the trade for a pair ofshorts with a neighboring tribe.We spent our time with the Hadza hunting baboons ( 狒狒 ), a daily activity for the men. Theirland is packed with sharp bushes, poisonous snakes and man-eating lions. But a successful huntingtrip is the difference between eating and going hungry.The Hadza diet consists mainly of honey, fruit and meat. Men often hunt in pairs to shootanimals with bows and arrows. The Hadza show us how to track animals, from baboons to snakesto lions. They are hugely skilled with their handmade bows and arrows — we have a go andbarely get the arrow to go three feet in front of us.The language of the Hadza is believed to be the oldest still-spoken language known to man.The Hadza don’ t have conflict, and have no memory of stv a rtion. Their population never reachesnumbers that cannot be supported through hunting or gathering. They never get from their landmore than they need.Unlike modern-day office workers, the Hadza enjoy an extraordinary amount of free time.’ ve been in such Their “ work ”hunting— for food — takes up around five hours of their day. Theya state of peaceful existence for thousands of years. 8.

Some spend up to six hours a day on their gadgets. Theycan be playing games live with others elsewhere in the world, updating their status on socialmedia, texting friends or looking for the latest app to download to their tablets or smart phones.This worried Martin Strott, headmaster of the Old Hall School in Wellington, in the west ofEngland. He was so concerned that he challenged his students to take part in a week of‘detox ’ . Strott told the local newspaper, the Shropshire Star, that he encourages the pupils to have agood knowledge of the computer from a young age, but is concerned that too much screen timewill affect the development of their social skills. He said that this over-reliance on digital devices“erodes family time and they’ re missing out on messages from body language and facialexpressions from th ose around them”.According to the headmaster, the parents are happy with the movement. But what about thechildren? Nine-year-old Fred usually spends around two hours on his gadgets at home after schooland around 12 hours on weekends. For him, the d igital detox experience was“ really hard” . Fred spent it playing outside, especially basketball. He said that he’ ll probably engage in different activities from now on but he did miss his phone and online games.The idea of keeping children away from their tech for a while to prevent‘ addiction’ is not particularly new. There have been similar movements in the US. But are they effective in the longrun? Well, even if kids go back to their gadgets, the hope is that at least they’ ll think ab they use their time.What about you: do you spend too many hours hooked on your digital devices?12.According to the passage, which of the following is not the reason why children are hooked oncomputers __________.A.developing their social skills by having some online conversations.B.searching for the newest app and install them to their tablets or smart phones.C.playing games live with people from other placesD.releasing some new information about their status on social media13.

AAmazing University Campuses Worth visitingOxford University: It‟s hard to imagine a more picturesque university than Oxford. The oldest university in the English-speaking world, Oxford dates back to 1167, when King HenryⅡbanned English students from attending the University of Paris. On the campus, Gothic building housing classrooms, dormitories and dining halls stand out against the quad‟s verdant lawn, where you can imagine Percy Bysshe Shelley, Oscar Wilde and W.H Auden lounging（慵懒地躺着）between classes. Oxford‟s circular Radcliffe Camera is a masterpiece of Palladian architecture and one of the world‟s most stunning libraries. Harry Potter fans touring the campus should pay attention to see where scenes at Hogwarts were filmed.Cambridge University: Cambridge University is characterized less by a proper campus than a collection of colleges, medieval churches, courtyards and wisteria-filled gardens. The town of Cambridge originated in Roman times, and the university dates back to 1209. The exact founding story is unknown, but the version told to Cambridge students recounts that some Oxford scholars chased out after the accidental shooting of a peasant fled to Cambridge, where they established a new university. The famous university is shrouded（笼罩）in mythology and funny stories of students.Trinity College: Roaming the green campus of Trinity College, you‟ll likely feel connected to thegreat literary tradition there. Jonathan Swift, Oscar Wilde, Bram Stoker and Samuel Beckett all studied at Trinity, and their statues stand proudly in the library. Most of the university‟s buildings were constructed in the 18th and 19th centuries, but Queen ElizabethⅠestablished Trinity College in 1592 with the aim of “civilizing ” Dubliners. In the historic Examination Hall—designed by architect Sir William Chambers--- you can marvel at the impressive 18th-century interiors and the organ, which was recovered from Spanish ship.1. What can we learn from paragraph1?A. Oxford is the oldest university.B. Oxford has an impressive library.C. Oxford was first built in 1209.D. Harry Potter studied in Oxford University.2. When was Cambridge University first built?A. In Roman times.B. In 1167.C. In the early 13th century.D. In the 18th and 19th centuries.3. Who once attended Trinity University according to the passage?A. W.H. Auden.B. Sir William Chambers.C. Queen Elizabet hⅠ.D. Bram Stoker.BIn seventh grade, I decided to try out for my school musical. I only made it through the first verse before the drama teacher stopped me. It goes without saying that my Christmas carol didn‟t get me any role.Am I embarrassed? No. Not just because it was ten years ago, but also because it‟s such a great story to share. Why? I think the main reason is that admitting to mistakes makes you easier to relate to. Interestingly enough, science confirms this theory.Researchers have conducted numerous studies and have concluded that when someone makes a mistake or acts in a clumsy way, they are found to be more likeable. In other words, if you‟re competent at something and then you mess up, it shows your human side. This allows others to connect and relate to you, which in turn makes them like you more.Growing up, I was the type of student who had to get straight A‟s and the type of athlete who always had to perform at the top of the game. The problem was that my standards were so ridiculously high that I was never happy. It was only when I learned to let go and forgive myself for my mistakes that I truly felt relaxed.When one of your close friends or family members makes a mistake, are you quick to forgive andforget? Sadly, many of us often express more sympathy for others than ourselves. With each mistake comes a lesson, and if you can learn to let go and forgive yourself, you will be better equipped to handle life‟s challenges going forward.More importantly, if you‟re constantly worried about looking silly, you‟ll never be able to get promotion at work. Even if you make a fool of yourself, it isn‟t the end of the world. Think about it: what‟s the worst that can happen? In many cases, the reward often outweighs the risk.4. What does the underlined part “this theory” probably refer to?A. A mistake makes you more likeable.B. An embarrassed person tends to act clumsily.C. Competent people always mess up in life.D. It‟s not embarrassing to share mistakes.5. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. The author is proud of her work.B. The author was once a perfectionist.C. The author always made some mistakes.D. The author felt ashamed of her high standards.6. What message is delivered in the last two paragraphs?A. Making a fool of yourself when necessary.B. Being sensitive when it comes to forgiveness.C. Viewing mistakes as learning opportunities.D. Not being hesitant to confirm your mistakes.7. What does the author want to tell us in the passage?A. It‟s okay to make mistakes.B. Everyone may make mistakes.C. It‟s time to forgive yourself.D. How to forgive our mistakes.CHere‟s something to think about the next time you put a cigarette to your lips: the skin around those lips is going to look older and tighter. You‟re also more likely to get bags under your eyes sooner.Researchers in Ohio studied the physical differences between the faces of nonsmokers and their twins who smoked and found confirmation of a long-held belief: smoking does indeed age you.The study, by researchers at the Department of Plastic Surgery, looked at 79 sets of twins between the ages of 18 and 78 at the yearly August gathering of twins in Twinsburg, Ohio. Each person had his or her picture taken by a professional photographer. The photos were divided into two kinds. The first group was 45 sets of twins in which one smoked and the other didn't. The other group was made up of smokers,but in each set, one twin had smoked at least five years longer than the other.Two doctors and a medical student studied photographs of the twins and assigned scores to their facial features. In the case of the first group, the judges said the smoking twin appeared older 57% of the time. For the second set, the longer-smoking twin looked older more than 63% of the time, meaning the aging differences could set in after just five years.“This study confirms some of what was believed in the most scientific way possible,” said Dr. Bahman Guyuron, who led the res earch. “With longer follow-up, we believe that every smoking twin might have exhibited a difference in aging.”The study looked at other aging factors --- alcohol consumption, stress and sunscreen use, for instance --- and found they were similar in these sets of twins. It didn‟t deal with changes in the twins‟ living environment or diet，which was a defect of the study.“Smoking reduces the collagen（胶原蛋白）formation, results in collagen reduction and reduces the skin circulation,” Guyuron said. “Additionally, nicotine reduces the skin thickness. All of these reduce skin elasticity（弹性）and cause premature aging.”8. How did the researchers get the result?A. By experiment.B. By conversation.C. By questionnaire.D. By comparison.9. What‟ s the author‟s attitude towards smoking?A. Opposed.B. Supportive.C. Pessimistic.D. Optimistic.10. Which of the following is closest to t he underlined word “defect” in Paragraph 6?A. Change.B. Shortcoming.C. Finding.D. Case.11. What‟s the main idea of the passage?A. Smoking makes you look older.B. Smokers have thicker skin.C. Non-smokers have older faces.D. Smoking causes tighter lips.DA new paper published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Science claims that dolphins recognize their own names when called.Vincent Janik, one of the authors of the study and a biology researcher at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, said that the name is actually a specific type of dolphin pronunciation that the animals respond to. “It is a kind of high voice that has a little bit of a tune,” he told ABC News. These sounds are referred to as “signature voices”.Janik and his colleague, Stephanie King, sailed along the east coast of Scotland looking for bottlenose dolphins. Though they are often seen to live in warm tropical waters, Janik says that wild dolphins aren‟t impossible to be found in the United Kingdom. “There are maybe about 150-180 of them in our country,”he said.After spotting and recognizing a dolphin in the wild, the researchers would play one of three different sounds: an adjusted sound recording of that dolphin‟s signature voice, a signature voice of one of its species, or the signature voice of a completely foreign dolphin.They played the dolphin‟s own signature voice and the animal would come up and approach the boat and whistle back. However, the dolphin didn‟t respond to the other two types of voices and mostly kept about its business. It may seem strange that the dolphins don‟t reac t much to the voices of other dolphins, but Janik says that copying a dolphin‟s signature voice just right is part of their social group.“This copying only happens between closely connected animals, like between mothers and their youngs,” he said. Dolphi ns only need to respond to their own signature voices, since any socially connected animal will have learned how to copy it. “It says to them, …I know that this voice is a friend.‟”12. According to Janik, which is true?A. D olphins can‟t recognize the ir own names when called.B. Bottlenose dolphins only live in warm tropical waters.C. Wild dolphins are possible to be found in the U.K..D. D olphins use low voice to call others‟ names.13. Which of the following sounds didn‟t the researchers play?A. A signature voice of one of its species.B. The signature voice of a foreign dolphin.C. The signature voice of a mother dolphin.D. A recording of that dolphin‟s signature voice.14. What can be inferred from Paragraph 5 and 6 about dolphins?A. They are strange.B. They are thoughtful.C. They are busy.D. They are social.15. Where is the passage most likely to be taken from?A. A science fiction.B. A science magazine.C. A medical magazine.D. A detective novel.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。
