21．（6分）Best Science Books of 2017At its heart, Science is about curiosity. So it stands to reason these books about science should make you examine your world more closely, and in doing so, give you a sense of wonder.Big Chicken, by Maryn McKenna.Investigative journalist Maryn McKenna uses the modern industrial chicken as a window into how antibiotics（抗生素）transformed, modern agriculture—for good and ill. She traces how animal antibiotics endanger human health, musing serious problems from antibiotic-resistant stomach infections to UTIs. Recognizing that Americans are going to continue to eat chicken no matter what, McKenna suggests a way in which factory farming rids itself of its dependence on antibiotics.Why Time Flies, by Alan BurdickNew Yorker staff writer Alan Burdick examines the greatest gift humanity has ever known: time. Time, he writes, appears to exist in two distinct forms. One ls the standardized, objective kind found in clocks and watches; the other is our internal, biological sense of time, the one we measure in our cells, bodies and minds. But the closer he looks, the less clearer this distinction appears.Paleoart, by Zoë LescazeDinosaurs have long captured the imaginations of scientists and artists alike, and Paleoart brings those visions together in a blend of human knowledge and creativity.These images not only show our changing understanding of dinosaurs, but also reflect the distinct artistic sensibilities of their time. Both artistic and educational, these pictures are certainly influential.What It’s Like to Be a Dog, by Gregor y BernsBerns, a neuroscientist, trained dogs to sit in a machine: in order to look into the brains of conscious dogs for the first time. That pioneering work inspired him to dig deeper into the minds of other animals, from sea lions to the extinct thylacine（袋狼）, Berns says, “With their ability to think, choose and feel, dogs and other animals do not deserve the cruel treatment humans so often do to them.”1、Which book has something to do with public health?A．Why Time Flies. B．Paleoart.C．What It’s Like to Bea Dog. D．Big Chicken.2、Who writes about time?A．Alan Burdick. B．Zoë Lescaze.C．Gregory Berns. D．Maryn Mckenna.3、What was Berns’ pioneering work?A．Studying extinct animals. B．Observing dog brains.C．Fighting for animal rights. D．Training dogs.22．（8分）Leadership is the most significant word in today’s competitive business environment because it directs the manager of a business to focus inward on their personal abilities and style. Experts on leadership will quicklypoint out that “how things get done” influences the success of the outcomes and indicates a right way and a wrong way to do things. When a noted leader on the art of management, Peter Drucker，coined the phrase “Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the r ight things,” he was seeking to clarify the distinctions he associates with the terms.When Stephen Covey, founder and director of the Leadership Institute, explored leadership styles in the past decade, he focused on the habits of a great number of highly effective individuals. His Seven Habits of Highly Effective People became a popular bestseller very quickly. His ideas forced a reexamination of the early leadership example, which centered on the feature that was found in the character ethic and the personality ethic. The former ethic suggested success was founded on modesty, loyalty, courage, patience, and so on. The personality ethic suggested it was one5s attitude, not behavior, that inspired success, and this ethic was founded on a belief of positive mental attitude. In contrast to each of these ideas, Covey advocates that leaders need to understand universal principles of effectiveness, and he highlights how vital it is for leaders to first personally manage themselves if they are to enjoy any hope of outstanding success in their work environments. To achieve a desired vision for your business, it is essential that you have a personal vision of where you are headed and what you value. Business leadership means that managers need to “put first things fi rst，” which implies that before leading others, you need to be clear on your own values, abilities, and strengths and be seen as trustworthy.1、What does Peter Drucker’s phrase infer?A．Leaders should be good at making right decisions.B．Leaders should be good at doing things right.C．Leaders should be good at ignoring the distinctions he associates with the terms.D．Leaders should be skilled in predicting future.2、Under what condition are people likely to succeed, in terms of what the personality ethic suggests?A．When people have little determination, they will be successful.B．When people have good behaviour, they will gain success.C．If people have positive mental attitude, they are likely to succeed.D．If people have negative mental attitude, they are certain to succeed.3、How can leaders enjoy outstanding success in their work environments, according to Stephen Covey?A．Firstly they have to think highly of themselves.B．They are supposed to benefit themselves.C．They cannot adjust themselves.D．First personally they must manage themselves.4、What is the meaning of the underlined word “vision”？A．Bright future. B．Good beginning.C．Good scenery. D．Pretty background.5、To be good leaders, what must managers pay close attention to?A．They must pay close attention to universal principles of effectiveness.B．They must pay close attention to their own values, abilities and strengths.C．They must pay close attention to modesty.D．They must be concerned about courage and patience.23．（8分）You can’t see your sl eeping pets brain waves, but its behavior can tell you when your cat might be dreaming. If you watch closely, you’ll see that as she falls asleep, her breathing becomes slow and regular with her body still. She has entered the first stage of sleep, called slow-wave sleep. After about 15 minutes you’ll notice a change in her breathing. Her eyes move under her closed lids, her paws twitch (抽动) and she flicks (尤指用手指或手快速地轻抚) an ear. She has entered dreaming. Although she twitches and makes little grunting (嘟嘟) noises, messages from her brain to the large muscles in her legs are blocked, so she can’t run about. She is in a state of “sleep paralysis (麻痹)”.Michel Jouvet, a French scientist, interrupted their sleep paralysis. Even though they were completely asleep, the dreaming cats began to run for balls that Jouvet couldn’t see and arched (弓起) their backs at unseen enemies. He figures he was watching them act out their dreams! Obviously, the dreaming cats seemed to be practising important cat skills: following, pouncing (猛扑), and fighting.In another study, Matt Wilson recorded rats brain waves while they learned mazes (迷宫). One day, he left the brain-wave-recording machine on while the rats fell asleep. The pattern of brain waves in the sleeping rats matched the pattern from the maze so closely that Wilson could figure out exactly which part of the maze each rat was dreaming about!Many researchers now think that in both people and animals, one purpose of dreams is to practise important skills and figure out recent learning. This may explain why so many people dream about fighting and escaping, skills that were probably important to our ancestors, and why dreaming affects our ability to learn.Do all animals dream? From looking at the brain waves of sleeping animals. How often animals dream seems to be tied to body size. Cats dream about every 15 minutes, mice every 9 minutes, and elephants every 2 hours. And though cows and horses usually sleep standing up, they only dream when lying down.1、What does Michel Jouvet find in his study?A．The dreaming cats are in a state of body paralysis.B．The dreaming cats often practise their important skills.C．The eyes of dreaming cats moved while bodies are still.D．The muscles of the dreaming cats are blocked to move.2、What can you know about dreaming from the passage?A．Dreaming a lot can help humans learn more.B．Learning mazes is the basic skill for cats to learn.C．Rats often dreams to make certain their recent learningD．Fighting and escaping are not important skills for ancestors.3、Which animal may dream most frequently?A．Rats. B．Dogs.C．Cows. D．Elephants4、How does the author develop his passage?A．By making comparisons. B．By using figuresC．By telling stories D．By showing facts24．（8分）If you feel sick or uncomforta ble, you might seek out a doctor. But what to do if you don’t quite know where you fit into this world and you’re tired of carrying that burden alone?I answered strangers’ questions on life puzzles at the entrance to the New York City subway at 57th and 8th. A group of strangers had stopped by because they were carrying around some deep, meaningful questions that had long gone unanswered, like “why can’t I be happier in my life?”And then I spotted her, who would be my toughest questioner of the day. She was about 6 years old and held her mother’s hand as she craned (伸长脖子) her neck to stare at us. Her mother stopped, but the girl hesitated. “It’s OK,” I offered. “Do you have a question?” The girl smiled at her mother, then let go of her hand to walk over to wards us. She looked me dead in the eye and said: “How do I know I’m real?”Suddenly I was back in graduate school. Should I talk about the French philosopher Rene Descartes to prove our existence, with the phrase “I think, therefore I am?” Or, mention English philosopher G. E. Moore and his famous “here is one hand, here is the other,” to prove the existence of the external world? But then the answer came to me. I remembered that the most important part of philosophy was feeding our sense of wonder. “Close your eyes,” I said. She did. “Well, did you disappear?” She smiled and shook her head, then opened her eyes. “Congratulations, you’re real.”She grinned (露齿而笑) broadly and walked over to her mother, who looked back at us and smiled.1、Why did the author show up at the entrance of the subway?A．To take the subway. B．To look for strangers’ help.C．To offer advice on life puzzles. D．To help strangers carry their bags.2、What made the little girl stare at the author?A．Curiosity. B．Horror. C．Excitement. D．Nervousness.3、How did the girl find the answer?A．By hearing a story. B．By learning philosophy.C．By referring to others’ words.D．By having a real experience.4、Which of the following can best describe the author?A．Strict and smart. B．Honest and brave.C．Clever and helpful. D．Humorous and sociable25．（10分）Recycling is essential in today’s world. The most important reason for this is that human progress and industry have made it possible for people to have lots of things, and when people have many material possessions, they are bound to throw some of them away. This creates a lot of garbage which in turn destroys the environment.Recycling is a way for us to keep the world clean as items are broken down and used again, preventing the littering of the environment. Instead of throwing all your garbage into the trash can, you should separate paper, metal, glass, and plastic into different containers. Compost should also be recycled as this is excellent food for farm animals and also makes for great fertilizer(肥料).You should try to buy products that have been recycled. You can see if an item has been made from recycled materials by its label; if it’s been recycled, it will say so. Also, instead of always buying new clothes, you can arrange to have a clothing swap w ith your friends. You bring clothes you don’t want and pick items you want from what other people have brought. Not only does this save the environment, but it also saves your pocketbook. Remember, what is one person’s junk can be someone else’s treasure! The saying can be applied to all sorts of things: books, CDS, furniture, etc. Also, try shopping at second-hand stores, because they often have lots of items still in good shape for you to choose.Many countries have made it easy for people to recycle, as alongside the normal garbage trucks, special garbage trucks come and pick up recyclables. However, in many countries around the world the responsibility is left up to the individual to recycle. Therefore, it must be made a priority (优先考虑的事) in society so we can continue to make our environment livable.1、Why is more waste being made in today’s world?A．People dislike the updated items.B．People own abundant belongings.C．People intend to live a simple life.D．People have made great progress in industry.2、W hat does the underlined word“this”in Paragraph 3 refer to?A．Exchanging clothes with friends.B．Shopping at second-hand stores.C．Throwing away old clothes.D．Picking up new items.3、To make the environment enjoyable, we should .A．always buy new clothesB．choose recyclable productsC．go shopping at chain storesD．arrange more garbage trucks4、What can we learn from the last paragraph?A．Governments do nothing in recycling.B．Normal vehicles can pick up recyclables.C．The individual seldom cares about recycling.D．Everyone should feel socially responsible for rcling.第三部分语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．26．（30分）My father always told me: "All work is noble."
