一、阅读理解
Sila Sutharat, a roasted chicken street vendor from Phetchaburi,Thailand,has come up with a unique way of cooking chicken.He uses 1,000 mobile mirrors that concentrate sunlight into a strong beam(光束).
Like most other street vendors, Sila used to cook his chicken over a charcoal(木
炭)fire.But that all changed in 1997,when an ordinary observation gave him a great idea.One day,he was hit by the sunlight reflected off the window of a passing bus,and he felt its heat."I could possibly change it into energy," Sila told himself. Then he started working on how to make use of the sunlight to cook his chicken.
"They said that I'd gone mad,and that cooking chicken like this was impossible,"Sila told reporters about how people reacted to his idea.But he didn't let their jokes get to him, and in the end he was the one who had the last laugh.He invented a panel featuring 1.000 small mirrors that could be moved.It worked exactly as he predicted,allowing him to cook a 1.5 kg chicken in just I0 to 15 minutes. “After a long time passed by, they'd say: "Actually,you could do it,'”Sila Sutharat recalls. Sila says that his invention can make the temperature go up to 312'C．This is why he always wears a special mask instead of a cook's hat when operating it.
Sila's solar roaster is an unusual sight.It has attracted quite a few curious people who are eager to taste Sila's sun-cooked chicken.He's been using this cooking method for two decades now.And he says it's much better than traditional roasting methods.It is free,cooks all parts of the chicken,and best of all,it's 100% clean. Phetchaburi Rajabhat University thought Sila's idea
was very good and useful,so they awarded him an honorary science degree.

A good modern newspaper is an extraordinary piece of reading. It is remarkable first for what it contains: the range of news from local crime to international politics, from sports to business to fashion to science, and the range of comment and special features as well, from editorial page to feature articles and interviews to criticism of books, art, theatre, and music.
A newspaper is even more remarkable for the way one reads it: never completely, never straight through, but always by jumping from here to there, in and out, glancing at one piece, reading another article all the way through, reading just a few paragraphs of the next. A good modern newspaper offers a variety to attract many different readers, but far more than any one reader is interested in. What brings this variety together in one place is its topicality(时事性) , its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now. But
immediacy and the speed of production that goes with it mean also that much of what appears in a newspaper has no more than transient value.
For all these reasons, no two people really read the same paper: what each person does is to put together, out of the pages of that day’s paper, his own selection and sequence, his own newspaper. For all these reasons, reading newspapers efficiently, which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need but without wasting time, demands skill and self-awareness as you modify and apply the techniques of reading.
5．According to the passage, the reason why no two people really read the “same” newspaper is that __________.
A．people have different views about what a good newspaper is
B．people are rarely interested in the same kind of news
C．people scan for the news they are interested in
D．different people prefer different newspapers
6．It can be concluded from the passage that newspaper readers _________.
A．apply reading techniques skillfully
B．jump from one newspaper to another
C．appreciate the variety of a newspaper
D．read a newspaper selectively usually
7．The best title for this passage would be “__________”.
A．The Characteristics of a Good Newspaper
B．The Variety of a Good Newspaper
C．The Importance of Newspaper Topicality
D．Some Suggestions on How to Read a Newspaper
Some people say summer is the time when teachers should get more pay. But not everyone is grateful to teachers for keeping kids occupied (无空闲的) between August and June: Washington state representative Liz Pike has written a Facebook post, titled “A life in the day of a WA state representative,” and responded to teachers’ complaints of rising costs of l iving. The post has received criticism for being anti-teacher. After reading her post, I feel that Liz Pike should rethink her criticism of public school teaching and avoid comparing it to the private school.
Many of us teachers would certainly like teaching to be more like the private school. We
see nothing wrong with fair pay for fair performance. In fact, performance is the name of the game. With standardized testing popular throughout K-12 education, teachers are some of the most analyzed and performance-measured employees in the United States. Liz Pike is very angry that teachers want raises even while test scores are dropping. Well, how are we supposed to have discipline (纪律) in the classroom when our hands are tied and we can hardly do anything with naughty students or fail students who are not prepared to move on to the next grade?
Teachers would love to be able to turn education around and improve student performance. But we can’t, and we should not suffer for it. Unlike private school businesses, pu blic schools cannot turn away “customers”. A private school business serves customers who walk through the door of their own free will, while public schools have to educate students who only attend because courts say they must.
She says those who are “uninspired” by a lack of a cost of living increase should give up teaching. Is this the message that she thinks should be sent to the students whose academic performance she claims (声称) to care so much about? That “if you love it you’ll shut up and not stand u p for yourself”? I think teachers should stand up for themselves and I also think supporting teachers can make teachers teach children how to stand up for themselves. 8．What is Liz Pike’s opinion?
A．Teachers shouldn’t ask for a pay rise.B．Teachers should be treated equally. C．Teachers should accept public criticism. D．Teachers shouldn’t give students much homework.
9．What problem do teachers in public schools face in the author’s opinion?
A．Their performance is not measured.
B．They are under the control of a system of rules.
C．They can’t master the correct teaching method.
D．.Many schools are becoming private.
10．The underlined word “customers” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to _____. A．students B．teachers
C．clever businessmen D．private schools
11．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _____.
A．some teachers are not excellent enough
B．teachers shouldn’t complain about their living costs
C．supporting teachers is helpful to students
D．Liz Pike doesn’t care about students’ academic performance
When an ice cube melts, it creates a puddle (水坑). When an ice sheet (冰盖)melts, it raises sea levels. It sounds simple, but scientists have debated for decades whether both the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets actually were shrinking, and how much that melting contributed to rising sea levels.
Now, a new study has provided the best evidence of how the polar ice sheets are responding to our warming world. In the study, an international team of scientists looked at 20 years of' data in the ice sheets collected by 10 satellite missions. The team's conclusion: The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets both are losing ice overall. The researchers also found that between 1992 and 2011, melt water from those shrinking ice sheets caused sea levels to rise by about 11 millimeters.
Over the 19 years studied, the Greenland ice sheet lost 2.7 trillion metric tons of ice. The Antarctic ice sheet also shrank by about l.3 trillion metric tons. Previously, some scientists disagreed whether the Antarctic sheet, the largest mass of ice in the world, was shrinking or growing or neither.
While the Earth is warming overall, the effect of climate change varies from region to region. Over the last 15 years, for example, scientists have something disagreed over how climate change has affected the polar ice sheets. Many studies found that the sheets lost a lot of ice and that not enough snow fell on the sheets to compensate for the loss. But other studies found that the loss of ice was balanced by the gain in snowfall.
Richard Alley, a glacier scientist at Penn State University, said that many of those studies looked at different areas, and over different time periods. In addition, the studies didn't all use the satellite data in the same way. Those differences made, it difficult to compare the results.
The data in the new study matched time periods and areas. The study also combined measurements from kinds of satellites.
12．Why does the author use a common-sense phenomenon as the beginning?
A．To present the reason for ice sheet melting.
B．To show us the result of a scientific experiment.
C．To give a simple example to introduce the topic.
D．To present a common daily finding obvious to the readers.
13．The researchers reached their conclusion by_____.
A．analyzing the findings of former studies
B．observing the Antarctic and Greenland
C．referring to the data from satellites
D．making measurements in the Antarctic and Greenland
14．What does the underlined phrase "compensate for" in paragraph 4 refer to?
A．Cut down.
B．Lead to．
C．Bring about.
D．Make up for.
15．Which of the following might be the best conclusion for the passage?
A．Ice sheets are shrinking due to global warming.
B．People are suffering from climate change.
C．Rising sea levels makes people live in danger.
D．Shrinking ice has nothing to do with sea levels.

The United Kingdom consists with England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. England is the largest and for the convenience it is divided roughly into three zones.

In the early twentieth century the English government tried to form the United Kingdom by get Ireland connected without conflict.

⑤指代猜词即找出人称代词、指示代词、关系代词或关系副词等所指代的内容，做题时要注意指代词的位置，以便于判断，然后用所找的指代内容替换划线代词，核实其逻辑、意义、位置等是否一致，最后比较所找部分与选项，确定意思最接近的选项。
