阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。

A
Based on some studies, people in their forties, on average, laugh less often each day than children under age 7 and adults over age 65. That's kind of sad for middle-aged men. If it's been a while since your father has let out a
good belly laugh, here are some ideas that you can do to getyour father back on the road to joy.
A joke book can be helpful. The Dilbert series by Scott Adams is quite funny if you're into office humor. The Far Side series by Gary Larson came out twenty years ago, but it still works even for today's people. In fact, you don't even have to buy a book. You can go online and find comic strips, lists of jokes and so on.
On DVD, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon or however you get them, you can find funny movies and shows that can make a difference in your life. Teen movies arc particularly funny when done well. Mean Girls, 10 Things I Hate About You and She's All Thai are bound to bring a smile to your father's face. Screwball （荒诞的）comedies might be your father's cup of tea. Some comedies from the 1930s, 40s and 50s have stood the test of time and are still amusing. Also, there are a number of channels where people can watch comedians in high spirits.
If your father already has close friends to exchange jokes with, it's to his great advantage. But your father can also seek out new friends who have a lighter, cheerier and more mirthful wav to life.
People are often in humorous situations at work, at home and in life, but to what degree do we take note of them? You can encourage your lather to note humorous situations all around him. If he begins to notice this, soon enough, he begins to actively seek them. Before he knows it. his search for a humor-filled life becomes a significant pan of his day.
21. What do the Dilbert series and The Far Side series have in common?
A. They're in the form of short stories.
B. They have many jokes about office life.
C. They can bring much laughter to people.
D. They became popular soon after publication.
22. The underlined word "mirthful" in Paragraph 4 means.
A. colorful
B. joyful
C. puzzling
D. regular
23. What's implied in the last paragraph?
A. Humorous situations can be easily ignored.
B. Humorous situations can be created actively.
C. People should spend time with positive people.
D. People should learn to discover the humorous moments.
B
It's easy to check the sell — by dates when you go shopping, so that you know how long you can store and use the food you are buying. But did you know that the best sell — by dates on food packaging don't really tell you if the food is safe to eat? Food can last longer or on the other hand, the food may not last as long as it says if it wasn't stored correctly at any point of the distribution chain （分销连锁店）.Now there is a food packaging that works well to solve the problem.
Americans waste 103 pounds of spoiled food, which has gone bad, out of their refrigerators every year. The new smart packaging from Primitives Biodesign - a company that is mainly concerned with biotech in San Francisco - can help to reduce this huge waste of food.
This all-female team of scientists, engineers, and bio-designers of Primitives Biodesign spent months developing this new bio-based smart packaging that responds to environmental and safety changes in the food. It will respond by changing colors to tell you that food is no longer safe. Since it is made from a natural substance, it can also break down in nature.
Making the packaging smart is the difficult part. They put much manpower and fund into it.Here the team used a process that acts as the way nature responds to changes in the environment. According to the company, it responds like the way a pinecone responds to wet air by releasing seeds or the way flowers send compounds （混合物）to change colors.
The company has proven in lab tests that the technology works and now they are working on how to develop commercial（商业的）uses for it. The added safety features of the smart packaging will come out later, which will help control food waste in products like meat or cheese which have high greenhouse gas emissions （排放量）so as to help reduce the impact on climate change.
24. What can we know from Paragraph 1 ?
A. Few products show dependable sell — by dates.
B. Food is surely safe to eat within the use — by dates.
C. Storing food correctly is important for their safety.
D. People can know about food safety from their appearance.
25. What's the current use of the new smart packaging?
A. Making （bod stay fresh longer.
B. Reminding people of spoiled food.
C. Recording the amount of wasted food.
D. Adjusting food temperature by changing colors.
26. According to the last paragraph, what is Primitive Biodesign doing now?
A. Finding buyers for the smart packaging.
B. Raising money for environmental protection.
C. Doing experiments to test the new technology.
D. Making the smart packaging practical and greener.
C
It's not unusual for a person to help someone else but without getting anything in return. But this behavior is thought to be rare among animals. Up to now, that kind of behavior hasn't been seen in birds. So scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology created an experiment to test whether African grey parrots could behave that way.
The first step in the experiment was to teach the parrots how to trade “token （筹码）" for food. The tokens were small metal rings about the size of coins. When the parrots gave these tokens back to the researchers, the parrots were given walnuts, which they enjoyed.
Once the parrots knew how to trade tokens for walnuts, the scientists began the next part of the experiment. Two parrots were put in clear plastic cages next to each other, with a connecting window between the two cages. There was a feeding window in both cages, which allowed the scientists to give walnuts to the parrots. Then the feeding window was closed for one of the parrots that had been given ten tokens.
The results showed that most of the time, the parrot that couldn't trade for walnuts would pass a token, back-to-back, to the bird in the next cage that could then trade it for a walnut. The parrots that passed the tokens got nothing. They simply watched as the other parrots got food. Still, seven out of the eight parrots tested passed the tokens over and over again. And it wasn't because they liked passing tokens. If the parrot with the tokens saw that their partner's feeding window was also closed, they rarely passed tokens.
The scientists believe that helping others may be useful to the parrots in the wild, where they live in large groups that change often. I he scientists think that helping others could give a parrot a good “reputation （名声）” and make it more likely that the parrot will get help from the group when it needs it.
27. What would the scientists do if they were given back the token?
A. Give the token to another parrot.
B. Give the parrot's partner a walnut.
C. Give the parrot some food as a reward.
D. Give the parrot some coins to play with.
28. The parrots pass tokens to others because.
A. they were trained to do that
B. they liked playing with tokens
C. they hoped their partners got food
D. they expected something in return
29. What do we learn about African grey parrots?
A. They dislike living in large groups.
B. They can benefit from helping others.
C. They often receive help from other birds.
D. They have a very good reputation in Africa.
30. In the passage, the writer wants to show.
A. parrots quickly learn to share things
B. parrots seem to be happy to help others
C. parrots love playing games with each other
D. parrots and humans have something in common

After many careful 62(investigate) and tests, experts tried to preserve the cultural relics 63 taking them apart and moving them to a safe place 64 they would be rebuilt.

Jeremy's first hunt
His father said, “All set, boy?” and Jeremy nodded quickly, picking up his gun. Finally, they arrived at the marsh （沼泽）.Normally, Jeremy would ask his father to wait while he tried to record the beautiful place with his camera, but not this morning. This was the morning when 14-year-old Jeremy was to have duck shooting.
Actually, he hated duck shooting since his father bought him a gun, taught him to shoot and promised him this trip. But he loved his father, and wanted to make his father pleased.
Jeremy put down the camera, sat down and waited anxiously.
“Better get ready. Sometimes ducks arc on top of you before you know it," his father said. He watched Jeremy break his gun, put in the bullets （子弹）and close it again. let you shoot first,“ he said. He stopped suddenly, eyes narrowed. "There is a small group of ducks heading this way now. Keep your head down. I'll give you the order?"
Jeremy's heart was beating wildly. He prayed, "Don't let the ducks come, please."
But they kept coming. "Four black and one mallard （绿头鸭），“said his father.
High above, Jeremy heard the sound of wings as the ducks went over and began to circle. The mallard was leading; his bright orange feet dropped down, reaching for the water. Closer, closer...
“Get set," his father whispered.
“Now, shoot!" cried his father in a loud voice.
Jeremy felt his body obey. He stood up, his hands holding the gun the way his father had taught him.
At the same time, the wild ducks saw the gunners and flew. "Shoot!” said something sharply in Jeremy's brain, but the expected sound didn't come. Up went the mallard, until it flew away.

His father asked in a controlled voice, “Why didn't you shoot?” “Because they were so alive/, Jeremy explained, with his lips shaking. He sat on the grass, buried his face in his hands and burst into tears. All hope of pleasing his father was gone. For a long moment, his father was silent. Then Jeremy felt him kneel down beside him and pat him on the shoulder gently. Suddenly, his father shouted, “Get ready!” Feeling cold metal touching his hard, Jeremy looked up.
His father was handing the camera t o him and said softly, “Here comes another duck."A beautiful wild duck flew closer, its white breast shining in the sunshine. Jeremy held up his
camera immediately. “l got him!” A broad smile lit up his face. His father gave him a thumbs-up. Jeremy discovered there was no disappointment in his eyes, only pride and love. "Il's okay, son. I love shooting, but that doesn't mean
you have to." He paused and said. "Could you teach me how to use that camera?”

M: Today I'd like to tell you about some of the famous places in history.
Let's start with the oldest first. Black Rock Caves have been there for over two million years. And, for half a million years, they were home to people and various animals. You can explore these ancient homes and imagine what life was like for the people who lived here. The caves are open daily from the start of April to the end of October. A special attraction on evenings in August is walk by candlelight.
Next I recommend a visit to the Salter House. This was built by Sir Joshua Salter and dates back to 1765. The Salter family are still living here today. The house became famous in 1982 when the TV series Aunt Dorothy was filmed there. The furniture and paintings are well worth seeing, but the attraction nobody wants to miss is the kitchen. This is where Aunt Dorothy cooked her huge meals.
And don't forget to visit The Old Port. Maybe you'll need several hours to see everything there, especially if you take a trip along the riverside as far as the fishing village. There you get the chance to try on traditional clothes from
a hundred years ago. You can buy gifts in the old village stores and eat delicious small food in the Tea Shop. If you
visit the village factory, you can see how sweets were made a hundred years ago, and taste them, too.。
