I remembered how embarrassed I was as my mother explained that I needed reading material that was different from the book.The librarian was tall and thin with brown hair. Holding up one elegant finger, she looked down at me and smiled. "Here you are," she said. "It's called I capture the castle, by Dodie Smith. " I felt far too old for the dog stories and bad guys acted by Cruella de Vil. "It's very different from 101 Dalmatians, through, " she said.I decided to give her the benefit of the doubt. But I was unwilling to believe. I mean, the title along was strange. I Capture the Castle?It surrounded like a bunch of childish kids playing King of the Hill. I took the book home and started reading. I was attracted. Absolutely attracted, I wanted to be a writer.I never told the librarian how much that book meant to me. Two weeks ago, I was relaxed in the tea shop when I looked up and saw her. I saw the brown﹣haired librarian who had changed my life. Sixteen years had passed, but﹣for a moment﹣time stood still, she still possessed that beauty.I moved toward her. "You work at the library! You once showed me I captured the Castle! I'm a writer now! That's still my favorite book!"The woman paused and smiled kindly. But then she tipped her brown head. I realized that dementia (老年痴呆)or something like it had kept her from understanding me. My face flamed.I stepped back. A woman took her by the elbow and led her gently away.As I watched her go, her pace just as light as I remembered it, I wondered how many lives we change without realizing what we do is significant. For all that woman had really done was lending me a book. But it had occupied my world.1. What is the author's first feeling about the book I Capture the Castle?A. Boring.B. Mysterious.C. Special.D.

Therefore, entire fields are covered by a thin blanket of the white silk, or spider rain."You can clearly see hundreds of little spiders floating along with their webs and my home is covered with them!" the man said. "My hair stood on end at that time and I tried to take photos of what I saw, because people couldn't make them out in the sky because of the sun." He added.Angel hair is reported a migration method that spiders have used to travel across the world. The event can sometime lead on entire fields covered with a thin blanket of the silk. The blanket of silk has generally disappeared by the morning after meeting with cold temperatures overnight. Weather conditions caused the phenomenon to take place. Most of the cases happen or clear cool days with light winds blowing. The effect is particularly common after floods, when a large number of spiders use their silk to escape.In 2012, severe floods in the southern NSW town of Wagga Wagga saw thousands of spiders use this method to move to higher grounds. The spiders that use the method are harmless. None of the species that do this are dangerous, and they all go away once the weather warm up.1. How did the man feel when seeing his home covered by little spiders?A. Upset.B. Peaceful.C. Honored.D. Terrified.2. Why do the spiders create spider rain?A. To hunt for food.B. To move to other place.C. To raise their next generation.D. To escape their natural enemies.3. What can we learn the spider rain from the next?A. It is formed by a strong wind.B. It does harm to the environment.C. It happens especially after floods.D. It leads to the sky covered with spider silk.4. What can be the best title for the text?A. Angel HairB. Harmless SpiderC. Cats, Dogs and SpidersD. A Newly Invented PhraseDWe all wish we could get by on less sleep, but one father and son actually can﹣without suffering any health consequences and while actually perform on memory tests as well as, or better than, most people.To understand this rare ability, researches at the University of California, San Francisco, first identified a genetic mutation (基因突变)﹣in both individuals﹣that they thought might deserve the credit. Then scientists intentionally made the same small genetic spelling mistake in mice. The mice also needed less sleep, remembered better and suffered no other ill effects, according to a study published recently in Science Translational Medicine.But according to the Jamie Zietzer, an associate professor at Stanford University, although the medication with a same benefits will not be available anytime soon﹣and might never come true﹣the idea is incredibly appealing:take a pill that copies whatever the father and son does and sleep less, with no negative effects. But he also worries that even if a drug like this could be produced without causing significant side effects, it would still have consequences. Some individual might be forced or pressured to take medication so they could work more hours. Even if people will not need as much sleep, they will still need to have a rest, he insists.The study senior author, Ying Hui﹣Fu, a professor at U.C.S.F, says it is far too early for such fantasies. Instead she interested in better understanding the mechanisms (机制)of healthy sleep to help prevent diseases ranging from cancer to Alzheimer's. "These people sleep more efficiently," she says of the father﹣son pair. "Whatever function sleep is doing for us, it takes us eight hours to feel rested, but it takes them six or four hours. If we can figure out why they are more efficient, we can use that knowledge to help everybody be more efficient."1. Why do the scientists make the research on mice?A. To invent a kind of new pill.B. To test the functions of the pill.C. To identify the cause of the rare ability.D. To find out the side effects of the rare ability.2. What does Zeitzer think of the idea of producing the drug?A. It's bound to come true.B. It's a great brainstorm.C. It's absolutely unrealistic.D. It's a double﹣edged sword.3. What's the benefit of studying the mechanisms of sleep?A. Curing some diseases.B. Changing sleep patterns.C. Keeping off some diseases.D. Improving the working efficiency.4. What can we infer from the text?A. The drug will soon be produced.B. The research still has a long way to go.C. The process of producing the drug is rather complicated.D. The reason why the father﹣son pair need less rest has been figured out.第二节(共1小题;每小题15分,满分15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.选项中有两项为多余选项.The Ways to Help You Stand out in InterviewsInterview preparation has always been one of the most overlooked are in the employment process.

Our class had planted a large garden in what was once only a vacant lot. It was a lot of work but it was all worth it. 1 got blisters (水泡) from digging, and we all got insect bites, too.I learned a lot about gardening and collaboration (合作), and then I learned about the media. Our teacher telephoned the TV station and informed them of what we had accomplished. She spoke with the producer. The producer checked with the directors, but they said there were plenty of stories similar to ours. They wanted to know what was special about our particular garden, since many schools plant them.The teacher explained that, after going on the Internet to learn about the prairie (大草原), we had made a prairie garden. We had gone to a prairie and gotten seeds from the plants, and then we planted them. We did not water the garden, but we did weed it We decided to let nature water it with rain, since that was how prairies grew in the past. We sent a picture of the garden to the news station. In the picture, the grass was so high that it stood taller than the fourth grade students.As a result, the producer sent a reporter to our school. He interviewed the headmaster and asked him many questions about the garden. After that, they interviewed us, and we explained to them what we had learned through this project.That night, we watched the news, and there we were. The news reporter told our story. It was only two minutes long, but it was us. We were famous. All that work, all those blisters, it was worth it. We knew that when we saw the garden every day, but now we knew that the whole city thought so, too.4.What seemed to be the TV directors' initial reaction to the garden?A. They were excited.B. They were surprised.C. They were worried.D. They were uninterested.5.What is special about the garden?A.Weeds were allowed to spread naturally.B.The grass grew faster than common grass.C.The seeds came from the plants of a prairie.D.Underground water was used for the plants.6.What does the underlined word“that" refer to in the last paragraph?A. We got blisters on our hands.B. Our hard work was worthwhile.C. The garden would be famous.D. The project would be finished.7.How did the author feel about the project?A. Annoyed.B. Curious.C. Proud.D. Regretful.CHeads up! Across the country, sports injuries are a safety concern for young athletes. Now, the American Medical Association (AMA) has a new set of guidelines aimed at protecting players from the danger of concussions - serious injuries caused by a blow to the head.“ By raising awareness of the serious risks associated with concussions and ensuring that the appropriate guidelines are in place, we can reduce the number of young athletes who may return to the game too soon, which can. put their health at further risk," said AMA BoardMember Jack Resneck Jr, M.D., in a statement.The policy recommends that young athletes who may have a concussion be taken off the field as soon as possible. Then, they are only to return to their sport with a doctor's written approval. The policy also sets age-specific rules for health care professionals and athletic organizations in evaluating and caring for concussions.According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a concussion is a type of traumatic (创伤) brain injury caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or hit to the body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth. This type of movement can cause the brain to bounce around or twist inside the skull ( 颅骨). It can damage brain cells and create chemical changes in the brain.The CDC says that between 1.6 million and 3.8 million traumatic brain injuries caused by sports and recreation-related activities occur in the U.S. every year. A study from the Center for Injury Research and Policy showed that as many as 40% of high school athletes return to playing before they should. The AMA'S new guidelines should help to bring those numbers down.8.Why does the AMA set the new guidelines?A.To raise safety standards of sports.B.To protect athletes from concussions.C.To set rules for health care evaluation.D.To help players return to the game quickly.9.What should young athletes who may have a concussion do?A. Avoid using the head.B. Leave the field forever.C. Get treatment in time.D. Switch to another sport.10.What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A. What a concussion is.B. What causes damage to brain cells.C. How the CDC works.D. How a concussion can be prevented.11.Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Rules for Safer PlayB. Sports Injuries in the USC. Advice to AthletesD. New Policies for DoctorsDOrganic food is very popular. It is also expensive. Some organic food costs twice as much as non-organic food, but new parents and pet owners are willing to pay up to 200% more for organic food. However, there are people who think it is a waste of money.There is one main difference between organic and non-organic food. Organic farms do not use agricultural chemicals, such as pesticides ( 杀虫剂). In many countries organic foods have special labels. These guarantee that the products are natural.Some people think organic means locally grown. Originally this was true. Over time organic farming became more difficult. The demand for organic food grew larger than the supply. Small companies had to sell out to large companies. There weren't enough organic ingredients (原料), such as grain and cattle. This made it difficult for many organic companies to stay in business. Today, many large companies have an organic line of products.Is organic food more nutritious? This is part of the debate. Many farmers and consumersbelieve it is. They think agricultural chemicals cause health problems such as cancer. Many health professionals disagree. Few studies prove that organic foods prevent health problems. Health specialists worry more about bacteria ( 病毒), such as E.coli and salmonella. These can get into contact with organic and non- organic food. Doctors recommend washing produce very carefully. Handling meat carefully is important too.Most people agree that naturally grown food tastes better. Is tastier food worth the extra money? This is a matter of opinion. Whether it is healthier or not may require more research. However, organic consumers argue it is better to be safe than sorry.12.What is probably the major concern of organic food consumers?A. Price.B. Safety.C. Freshness.D. Variety.13.What is the doctors' suggestion?A. Grow your own food.B. Reduce the use of pesticides.C. Make sure the food is clean.D. Buy large companies' products.14.Which of the following do most people agree on organic food?A. It tastes better.B. It is easier to grow.C. It contains more fat.D. It is more nutritious.15.Where does this text probably come from?A. A recipe book.B. A chemistry paper.C. A medical report.D. A health magazine.第二节(共5 小题:每小题2.5 分,满分12.5 分)由水浒教育老师整理提供!阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

AIn 1812, the year Charles Dickens was born, there were 66 novels published in Britain. People had been writing novels for a century—most experts date the first novel to Robinson Crusoe in 1719—but nobody wanted to do it professionally. The steam-powered printing press was still in its early stages; the literacy(识字)rate in England was under 50%. Many works of fiction appeared without the names of the authors, often with something like “By a lady.”Novels, for the most part, were looked upon as silly, immoral, or just plain bad.In 1870, when Dickens died, the world mourned him as its first professional writer and publisher, famous and beloved, who had led an explosion in both the publication of novels and their readership and whose characters — from Oliver Twist to Tiny Tim—were held up as moral touchstones. Today Dickens’ greatness is unchallenged. Removing him from the pantheon(名人堂)of English literature would make about as much sense as the Louvre selling off the Mona Lisa.How did Dickens get to the top? For all the feelings readers attach to stories, literature is a numbers game, and the test of time is extremely difficult to pass. Some 60,000 novels were published during the Victorian age, from 1837 to1901; today a casual reader might be able to name a half-dozen of them. It’s partly true that Dickens’ style of writing attracted audiencesfrom all walks of life. It’s partly that his writings rode a wave of social, political and scientific progress. But it’s also that he rewrote the culture of literature and put himself at the center. No one will ever know what mix of talent, ambition, energy and luck made Dickens such a singular writer. But as the 200th anniversary of his birth approaches, it is possible — and important for our own culture—to understand how he made himself a lasting one.1.Which of the following best describes British novels in the 18th century?A.They were difficult to understand.B.They were popular among the rich.C.They were seen as nearly worthless.D.They were written mostly by women.2.Dickens is compared with the Mona Lisa in the text to stress________.A.his reputation in FranceB.his interest in modern artC.his success in publicationD.his importance in literature3.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A.To remember a great writer.B.To introduce an English novel.C.To encourage studies on culture.D.To promote values of the Victorian age.BEl Nifio, a Spanish term for “the Christ child”, was named by South American fisherman who noticed that the global weather pattern, which happens every two to seven years, reduced the amount of fishes caught around Christmas. El Nifio sees warm water, collected over several years in the western Pacific, flow back eastwards when winds that normally blow westwards weaken, or sometimes the other way round.The weather effects both good and bad, are felt in many places. Rich countries gain more from powerful Nifio, on balance, than they lose. A study found that a strong Nifio in 1997 helped American’s economy grow by 15 billion, partly because of better agricultural harvest, farmers in the Midwest gained from extra rain. The total rise in agricultural in rich countries in growth than the fall in poor ones.But in Indonesia extremely dry forests are in flames. A multi-year drought (干旱)in south-east Brazil is becoming worse. Though heavy rains brought about by El Nino may relieve the drought in California, they are likely to cause surface flooding and other disasters.The most recent powerful Nino, in 1997-98, killed around 21,000 people and caused damage worth $36 billion around the globe. But such Ninos come with months of warning, and so much is known about how they happen that governments can prepare. According to the Overseas Development Institute (ODI), however, just 12% of disaster-relief funding in the past two decades has gone on reducing risks in advance, rather than recovery and rebuilding afterwards. This is despite evidence that a dollar spent on risk-reduction saves at least two on reconstruction.Simple improvements to infrastructure (基础设施)can reduce the spread of disease. Better sewers (下水道)make it less likely that heavy rain is followed by an outbreak of the disease of bad stomach. Stronger bridges mean villages are less likely to be left without food and medicine after floods. According to a paper in 2011 by Mr Hsiang and co-authors, civil conflict is related to El Nino’s harmful effects—and the poorer the country, the stronger the link. Though the relationship may not be causal, helping divided communities to prepare for disasters would at least reduce the risk that those disasters are followed by killing and wounding people. Since the poorest are least likely to make up for their losses from disasters linked to El Nino, reducing their losses needs to be the priority.4.What can we learn about El Nino in Paragraph 1?A.It is named after a South American fisherman.B.It takes place almost every year all over the world.C.It forces fishermen to stop catching fish around Christmas.D.It sees the changes of water flow direction in the ocean.5.What may El Ninos bring about to the countries affected?A.Agricultural harvests in rich countries fall.B.Droughts become more harmful than floods.C.Rich countries’ gains are greater than their losses.D.Poor countries suffer less from droughts economically.6.The data provided by ODI in Paragraph 4 suggest that_________.A.more investment should go to risk reductionB.governments of poor countries need more aidC.victims of El Nino deserve more compensationD.recovery and reconstruction should come first7.What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A.To introduce El Nino and its origin.B.To explain the consequences of El Nino.C.To show ways of fighting against El Nino.D.To urge people to prepare for El Nino.CFor Western designers, China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration for Western creative.“It’s no secret that China has always been a source(来源) of inspiration for designers,” says Amanda Hill, chief creative officer at A+E Networks, a global media company and home to some of the biggest fashion(时尚) shows.Earlier this year, the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of China-inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of art, with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics(美学) on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences.“China is impossible to overlook,” says Hill. “Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world, which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion —they are central to its movement.” Of course, not only are today’s top Western designers being influenced by China—some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese. “Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are taking on Galliano, Albaz, Marc Jacobs—and beating them hands down in design and sales,” adds Hill.For Hill, it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing fashion. “The most famous designers are Chinese, so are the models, and so are the consumers,” she says. “China is no longer just another market; in many senses it has become the market. If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China—its influences, its direction, its breathtaking clothes, and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging that in many ways.”8.What can we learn about the exhibition in New York?A.It promoted the sales of artworks. B.It attracted a large number of visitors.C.It showed ancient Chinese clothes. D.It aimed to introduce Chinese models.9.What does Hill say about Chinese women?A.They are setting the fashion. B.They start many fashion campaigns.C.They admire super models. D.They do business all over the world.10.What do the underlined words “taking on” in paragraph 4 mean?A.learning from B.looking down on C.working with D.competing against 11.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Young Models Selling Dreams to the WorldB.A Chinese Art Exhibition Held in New YorkC.Differences Between Eastern and Western AestheticsD.Chinese Culture Fueling International Fashion TrendsDCalifornia has lost half its big trees since the 1930s, according to a study to be published Tuesday and climate change seems to be a major factor(因素).The number of trees larger than two feet across has declined by 50 percent on more than 46, 000 square miles of California forests, the new study finds. No area was spared or unaffected, from the foggy northern coast to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the San Gabriels above Los Angeles. In the Sierra high country, the number of big trees has fallen by more than 55 percent; in parts of southern California the decline was nearly 75 percent.Many factors contributed to the decline, said Patrick McIntyre, an ecologist who was the lead author of the study. Woodcutters targeted big trees. Housing development pushed into the woods. Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small trees that compete with big trees for resources(资源).But in comparing a study of California forests done in the 1920s and 1930s with another one between 2001 and 2010, McIntyre and his colleagues documented a widespread death of big trees that was evident even in wildlands protected from woodcutting or development.The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water shortage. The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that calculated how much water trees were getting in comparison with how much they needed, taking into account such things as rainfall, air temperature, dampness of soil, and the timing of snowmelt(融雪).Since the 1930s, McIntyre said, the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures, which cause trees to lose more water to the air, and earlier snowmelt, which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season.12.What is the second paragraph mainly about?A.The seriousness of big-tree loss in California.B.The increasing variety of California big trees.C.The distribution of big trees in California forests.D.The influence of farming on big trees in California.13.Which of the following is well-intentioned but may be bad for big trees?A.Ecological studies of forests.B.Banning woodcutting.C.Limiting housing development.D.Fire control measures.14.What is a major cause of the water shortage according to McIntyre?A.Inadequate snowmelt. B.A longer dry season.C.A warmer climate. D.Dampness of the air.15.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.California’s Forests: Where Have All the Big Trees Gone?B.Cutting of Big Trees to Be Prohibited in California SoonC.Why Are the Big Trees Important to California Forests?D.Patrick McIntyre: Grow More Big Trees in California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。

While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have cereal, eggs and toast. Others had cokes and candy for lunch, while we had to eat a sandwich. As you can guess, my supper was different than the other kids’. But at lea st I was not alone in my suffering. My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did.My mother insisted on knowing where we were at all times. She had to know who our friends were and what we were doing. We had to wear clean clothes every day. Other kids always wore their clothes for days. We reached the height of disgrace because she made our clothes herself, just to save money.The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by 9:00 each night and up at 7:45 the next morning. So while my friends slept, my mother actually had the courage to break Child Labor Law. She made us work. I believed she lay awake all night thinking up mean things to do to us. Through the years, our friends’ report cards had beautiful colors on them,black for passing, red for failing. My mother, however, would merely be content with black marks. None of us was allowed the pleasure of being a dropout.She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults. Using this as a backgroun d, I’m now trying to bring up my three children. I’m filled with pride when my children think I am mean because now I thank God every day for giving me the meanest mother in the world.26. From the passage we can learn that the writ er’s mother was __________.A. not generous at allB. very strict with her childrenC. very mean with money mattersD. very cruel to her children27. Which of the following things did the writer hate to do most? wA. Eating differently from other kids.B. Wearing clean clothes made by motherC. Going to bed early and getting up earlyD.

Which of the following statements is Not true according to the passage ?A. Mother practised economy in running her homeB. The writer is very thankful for her motherC.

The passage was written in a way of _________ tone.A. humorousB. hatefulC. ridiculousD. criticalBAs is reported, 113,000,000 Americans have at least one bank-issued credit card. They use credit cards in stores, restaurants, and hotels, at home, across the country, and even abroad. More and more of these credit cards can be read automatically, making it possible to withdraw or deposit money in different places, whether or not the local branch bank is open. For many of us the "cashless society" is not on the horizon----it's already here.While computers offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too. Electronic cashregisters(记录器) can do much more than simply ring up sales. They can keep a wide range of records, including who sold what, when, and to whom. This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold and how fast they are moving. Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made. At the same time these computers record which hours are busiest and which employees are the most efficient, allowing personnel and staffing assignments to be made accordingly. And they also identify preferred customer for promotional campaigns. Computers are relied on by manufacturers for similar re asons. Computer analyzed marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize now, which to develop for the future and which to drop. Computers keep track of goods in stock, of raw materials on hand, and even of the production process itself.Many other companies, from theaters to magazine publishers, from gas station to milk processors, bring better and more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers.31. According to the passage, the credit card makes its ownerto _______________ .A. withdraw as much money from the bank as he wishesB. obtain more convenient services than other people doC. enjoy greater trust from the storekeeperD. cash money where he wishes to32. From the last sentence of the first paragraph we learn that ______________.A. in the future all the Americans will use credit cardsB. nowadays many Americans do not pay in cashC. it is now more convenient to use credit cards than beforeD. credit cards are mainly used in the United States today33. The phrase “ring up sales” most probably means _______________.B. computer industry will not develop fasterC. computers will bring about more convenience to people’s lifeD. computers can only used in banksCDesigned specifically for kids that live online, Discovery announced a new fun and interactive homework tool that uses the power of broadband and media to help achieve academic breakthroughs at home. It’s COSMEO.With a click of a mouse, kids have instant access to the only online video destination for homework help, report research and learning games.

Students who were exposed to thei r service in the classroom have been scientifically proven to perform 12 to 15 percent better than those who were not.

ADrive through any American city or suburb, and you will see large space where huge stores are grouped together, sometimes even under one roof.The sight of such huge stores would have been unusual for our grandparents, who shopped in small neighborhood stores.There shopping areas reflect some major changes in American society.The construction of new supermarkets and shopping centers has been continuing over the past forty years.Supermarkets continue to appear because they offer the shopper a wide choice of products in one place — anything from food to small appliances.Because of the large amount of goods sold, supermarkets can offer lower prices than small neighborhood stores can.The convenience and value of large stores and shopping areas make them an important part of the way of American shopping.With the rise of supermarkets and shopping centers, American society has experienced some changes.Most obviously, many small neighborhood stores have disappeared, driven out of business by the large stores.Now Americans use cars even more in order to get to and carry products from the shopping centers, which are typically located farther from many homes.Another change is perhaps the least easy to describe.Americans_are_now_more_isolated.In the neighborhood store, the owner knew about the customers and their families.People in the neighborhood could gather and talk there.Now Americans shop in huge spaces, where no one knows anyone else.Supermarkets have made shopping more personal.It is clear that the number of supermarkets and large shopping areas is still increasing.The pattern of “bigger is better” will probably continue into the future.21.A major change in American society listed in the passage is ________.A.the development in the neighborhoodB.the place for shoppingC.the development in the suburbsD.the relationship between shop owners and customers 22.Compared with small neighborhood stores, supermarkets ________.A.are located everywhereB.are built far away from each otherC.sell various goods at lower pricesD.have limited space for further development23.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 means ________.A.shoppers in supermarkets usually don't know each otherB.supermarkets are a good place for shoppingC.supermarkets are controlled by machinesD.shoppers will easily get lost in supermarkets 24.The author believes ________.A.people will try to be friendly while shopping in supermarketsB.supermarkets and large shopping centers will continue to exist in the futureC.supermarkets will probably no longer exist in the futureD.neighborhood stores are equal to supermarkets in convenienceBThe opera house in Santa Fe, New Mexico, is one of the most beautiful opera houses in the United States.It is small and open, with one roof over the stage where singers perform and another roof over part of the audience.This opera house in the mountain is one of the best opera houses in the country, which may seem surprising because performances are only given during seven weeks in the summer, and because Santa Fe is a very small city.One reason why the Santa Fe Opera is so good is that it attracts many excellent young singers.They all hope to sing in famous opera houses like Metropolitan in New York someday, and they work hard to become well-known during the summer.The musicians and directors are experts who come from the best orchestras (管弦乐队) and operas in the country during their vacations.They enjoy working there because they like to live in Santa Fe, which is near both the mountains and the desert.It is very beautiful there in summer.The state government of New Mexico advertises the Santa Fe Opera in newspapers all over the country, and a great many tourists come to New Mexico because of the opera. Still, most of the audience do come from Santa Fe and other nearby cities, and all the seats in the theater are sold for every show.There is only one thing that some people do not like about the Santa Fe Opera, and that is the cold weather.Because the theater is open, performances cannot start before it gets dark at nine o'clock in the evening, and then the mountain air becomes very cool.

I lived with a Chilean family and had the responsibilities of any Chilean teenager. I had good days and bad days I didn't understand.Chuquicamata, my host community, is a mining camp. When I arrived there, I was scared. It was so different from what I was used to. There were lots of dogs in the streets, and there was no downtown, few smoothly paved streets, and little to do for entertainment. Rain was not seen very often, earthquakes and windstorms were frequent.I had studied Spanish for two and a half years and was always one of the best students in my class. But in my first week in Chile I was only able to communicate and needed one person to whom I could explain my shock. I couldn't speak the thoughts in my head and there were so many.Most exchange students experienced this like me. Culture shock presents itself in everything from increased aggression towards the people to lack of appetite (食欲). I was required to overcome all difficulties.As time passed, everything changed. I began to forget words in English and to dream in Spanish and love Chilean food. I got used to not depending on expensive things for fun. Fun in Chuquicamata was being with people. And I took math, physics, chemistry, biology, Spanish, art, and philosophy.But the sacrifices were nothing compared to the gain. I learned how to accept and to succeed in another culture. I now have a deeper understanding of both myself and others.29.The author came to Chile last year with the purpose of ________.A.paying a visit to Chile as a touristB.experiencing Chilean life as a teacherC.studying Chilean culture as a college studentD.studying knowledge as an exchange student30.On arriving in Chile, why did the author feel frightened?A.Because he did not know how to get along with the local people.B.Because it was full of dangers like earthquakes and windstorms.C.Because its living conditions were worse than what he was used to.D.Because it was not convenient for him to shop there.31.What did the author most probably think of his life in Chile?A.Wonderful and worthwhile.B.Difficult but meaningful.C.Difficult and meaningless.D.Boring and disappointing.32.According to the passage, which of the following statements about Chile is TRUE?A.Its official language is Spanish and English.B.It is a developing country without foreign students.C.It seldom rains and natural disasters often happen.D.Most Chileans are not friendly to foreigners.DApart from five carp (鲤鱼) that got into Lake Erie in 2004, no Asian carp have been found in the Great Lakes —just traces of their genes, known as “environmental DNA”,or eDNA. Those genes could have come from feces or scales (粪便或鳞片) in the water, but U. S. Geological Survey fish biologist Duane Chapman says the pattern of where they were found suggests more than that.“By far the most likely explanation of those samples is there are one or more live fish of each species (bighead and silver carp) in the Great Lakes,” he says, “I find it hard to believe that the pattern of samples they've found could come from any other source.”The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers began building a series of electric barriers along the Chicago Ship and Sanitary Canal in 2002, aimed at keeping Asian carp and other invasive species out of the Great Lakes. But if there really are Asian carp on the lake side of the electric barriers, how could they have gotten there?“The simple answer is we don't know,” says U.S. Fish and Wildlife spokeswoman Ashley Spratt. “They were specifically designed to keep them from getting into the lake, and they have been very effective. Now the Army Corps is working to speed up construction of a new electronic barrier to strengthen the existing barriers.”The eDNA has renewed calls to shut down the shipping locks (水闸) altogether, which leaders in Chicago and Illinois oppose. They've drawn support from the Obama administration, but the anger of other Great Lakes states — Michigan sued (提出诉讼) to close the locks last year, and although the U. S. Supreme Court declined to hear the case, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania are pushing ahead with another lawsuit aimed at closing them permanently. President Obama has tried to calm the situation by giving $78.5 million to carp control — a plan that would open the locks less and use poison more — but critics argue that only closing the locks can keep the carp out.33.Duane Chapman seems to believe that ________.A.the Asian carp's genes come from other lakesB.the research on the eDNA lacks experimental evidenceC.no Asian carp can survive in the Great LakesD.there may be Asian carp living in the Great Lakes34.Which of the following is TRUE of the electric barriers?A.They were rebuilt by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 2002.B.They were designed to keep threatened species in the Great Lakes.C.They are meant to help prevent Asian carp from reaching the Great Lakes.D.They are going to be replaced by a new barrier soon.35.The underlined word “declined” in the last paragraph probably means “________”.A.refused B.offeredC.advised D.delayed第二节根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
