It’s breathtaking to see the reds, oranges and yellows 37along highways, across mountain ranges, and in backyards. The air is fresh. The sun is brilliant. Many people go on 38 outings—not necessarily to swim, 39just to be by the ocean in that cool, bright 40.Autumn is also a transition season, a 41to the quiet of winter. It is a time of 42, as leaves fall to the ground and 43to the earth.This week, we’re celebrating Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. Every year this 44offers us an opportunity to look back on the past and to 45our life in the direction we believe it should go. And every year, we 46the festival in autumn. Rosh Hashanah also feels to me like a powerful47that now is the time to make a fresh48just as the vibrancy of the year is winding down and to set a positive goal for the days, weeks and months49. For me, it feels profound, and almost courageous, to face the cold winter with fresh50and energy. The more 51we are rooted in what matters during the autumn, the more we have to draw on when52winds blow.That’s a lesson53us every day of the year, isn’t it? Today is the day to 54tomorrow’s happiness, tomorrow’s kindness, tomorrow’s health and tomorrow’s friendship.

What do these terms mean and how can these terms help you choose a preschool?Oftentimes, the key difference between settings is connected to the preschool’s “educational philosophy”. While educational philosophies are numerous and their definitions are not set in stone, we have provided you with definitions for some of the most popular philosophies.The Montessori MethodFocuses on maintaining the individuality of each child in the learning process. This method believes each child learns at their own pace and educational progress should not be rendered based on comparing students to one another.The Reggio Emilia ApproachThis approach focuses on providing opportunities for problem solving through creative thinking and exploration.The Waldorf ApproachThis approach places an emphasis on imagination in learning, providing students with opportunities to explore their world through the senses, participation and analytical thought.The Bank Street ApproachThis approach places an emphasis on learning through multiple perspectives, both in the classroom setting and in the natural world.The High/ Scope ApproachThis approach focuses on letting children be in charge of their own learning. Children are taught to make a plan for what they would like to do each day and participate in a review session to discuss the success of their plan and brainstorm ideas for the next day.Outside of the formal educational philosophy, knowing the difference between other common early childhood terms will help you make informed decisions regarding your child’s education.1. If a pre-school stresses each child’s learning progress, it may employ ___________.A. The Reggio Emilia ApproachB. The Montessori MethodC. The Bank Street ApproachD. The Waldorf Approach2. According to the passage, which of the following is True ?A. The Scope Approach is to let children learn all by themselves.B. The definitions of educational philosophy remain the same.C. To some extent, educational philosophies determine the differences between preschools.D. The most confusing part about choosing pre-school is to choose educational philosophy.BDeep among the streams and kauri trees of rural south Auckland, New Zealand's newest and most alternative school is in session. The weather is fine so a bout of (一次) fishing is in order, followed by lunch cooked on an open fire. Homework and classes? Indefinitely dismissed.“We are called a school but we look nothing like any school out there,” saysJoey Moncarz, cofounder and head teacher at Deep Green Bush School. “We don't do things like telling kids it is time to write or learn math. When they are interested in doing it, they do it.”Moncarz is an exmainstream teacher. After five disappointing years in mainstream schools in New Zealand he quit to found Deep Green Bush School, which has a roll of eight, and no classroom walls, time out chairs (罚坐椅) or tests.Concerned that mainstream schools were not preparing children for the global problems of the future — such as climate change — Moncarz imagined a totally different kind of education, rooted in the primal skills of hunting, gathering and survival. If the weather allows, pupils spend the majority of their day outdoors, exploring the New Zealand bush, learning to fish and hunt, trapping possums and learning about the plants and animals of their home. The more traditional school skills, such as reading, writing and arithmetic, are acquired at their own pace, after they begin showing an interest in them.“We don't have what you'd traditionally consider problem kids,” says Moncarz. “Our parents saw their kids were unhappy and stressed in mainstream education and they started questioning: Is it normal or right for kids to come home stressed and unhappy? Having taught in a mainstream school, I'd say most kids are stressed and unhappy.”Bush School is registered with the Ministry of Education as an independent school, and therefore does not have to abide_by the standard New Zealand curriculum, although it is subject to ministerial regulation.Inspired by the Sudbury Valley School in the US, which in turn was inspired by A. S. Neill's Summerhill School in the UK, since launching in January Moncarz has been fielding requests from around New Zealand and abroad to open chapters of Bush School in places as far a field as China and Europe.Moncarz insists that the school isn't an “experiment” in education, and is basedon two million years of evidence of how parents have raised their kids, at one with nature. “We don't want to be one of a kind. We want to replace mainstream schools,” said Moncarz.3.What can the students do in Deep Green Bush School?A.Learn more practical living skills.B.Attend more diverse athletic contests.C.Study traditional courses more effectively.D.Join in environmental protection more actively.4.Why did Moncarz set up Deep Green Bush School?A.To help problem kids.B.To reduce parents' burden.C.To reform the traditional school system.D.To conduct an educational experiment.5.What does the underlined part “abide by” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?A.Obey. B.Assess.C.Monitor. D.Replace.6.What is the education system of Deep Green Bush School like?A.Unpractical and rigid.B.Unsatisfactory but strict.C.Unremarkable but fruitful.D.Unconventional and popular.参考答案完形填空[语篇解读]文章主要通过对秋天的赞誉来启发对于生活的思考。

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Most people agree that November 24 and 25, 2005 are important dates in the history of modem medicine. At that time, a team of surgeons in France achieved a medical breakthrough when they succeeded in performing the first partial face transplant.A 38-year-old Frenchwoman, Isabelle Dinoire, had been badly disfigured when her dog tried to wake her after she had taken some sleeping pills. After the dog's 'attack9, she had terrible injuries. She had lost most of her nose, lips and chin. As a result, she had difficulty eating and drinking. The doctors at the hospital decided to improve the quality of her life by giving her a partial face transplant.Ms Dinoire is making a good recovery after her operation. However, she will have to take drugs for many years to come so that her body does not reject the new face tissue. No one really knows what the effects of these drugs will be on her health in the long term. She will probably also need psychological treatment as she adjusts to her 4new face\Dr Jean-Michel Dubemard, a leading transplant expert who participated in the surgery, explained that the woman's face 'will not exactly resemble her face before, but neither will it completely resemble that of the donor.’ He said.While some people approve of the operation, others have been more critical. They question whether Ms Dinoire was able to agree to the operation when she was in such an emotional state at the time. Other medical experts say that the team should have tried more traditional reconstruction surgery before risking a face transplant.The operation was the first partial face transplant using skin from another person. Apparently, skin from another person’s face is usually a better match than skin from another part of the patient’s body.Since the French operation, surgeons in other countries have received permission to perform face transplants. In a few years, time, surgeons in other countries will probably have carried out many such transplants, and the debate about face transplants will undoubtedly continue.56. What difficulty may Isabelle Dinoire have in the coming years?A. She may start to learn how to eat and drink again.B. She may need several more operations to recover.C. She may meet with some mental problems.D. She may have to get used to another person’s face.57. What is special about the operation?A. It fails to take the difference between the patient’s face and the donor’s into account.B. It was intended to give other countries an example for how to do face transplant.C. No permission from the authorities had been given before it was performed.D. No operation has been carried out before by using a donor’s face skin.58. Why do some people object to such an operation?A. It costs more than traditional face surgery.B. It may not be of the patient^ own will.C. It has no official regulations to follow.D. It requires doctors' strong emotion.59. What is the passage mainly about?A. The debate over the face transplant.B. The world's first partial face transplant.C. The advantage and disadvantages of face transplants.D. The patient that has undergone a partial face transplant.(B)1. A Beijing woman is so angry with a local cinema that she is suing (^i^) them for wasting her time. Chen Xiaomei is suing the cinema's owners because she was not warned about the 20 minutes of adverts and trailers before the main feature. She is demanding a full refund (35 yuan), a certain amount of money to make up for emotional damage and a written apology. In addition, Xiaomei now says that length of advertisements should be published on its website. In total, they should be less than five minutes, she believes.2. Terrified by the latest horror film? Or in tears at the latest romantic comedy?Soon advertisers will be able to see your reaction to a film, so that adverts can be changed to make them more effective. Technology is now being developed which can capture how the cinema audience reacts. It will give film directors and advertisers useful information about what audiences enjoy and what captures their attention,* says the inventor, Dr Abdul Farooq. The technology will also be used to find pirates who secretly record films and then sell them illegally.3. A German DJ has broken the record for the world’s longest non-stop radio show. Dominik Schollmayer, 26, ran his show for 169 hours on end, beating the previous record by one hour. Schollmayer was observed by doctors all through his broadcast: they said that the DJ had gone ‘completely mad’ and was dancing like a crazy man’ in the last few hours. At the end, Schollmayer said he was ‘totally exhausted’.60. The best title of _______ might be “Who’s watching the audience?”A. story 1B. story 2C. story 3D. story 461. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the stories above?A. Chen Xiaomei holds that there shouldn’t be advertisements before a filmB. Those who sell films illegally often skip the advertisements.C. The previous record of the world’s longest non-stop radio show was 168 hours.D. Kim Perez knew she would be proposed to before the weather forecast started.62. Where are the stories above most likely to appear?A. In a newspaperB. In an advertising leafletC. In a travel guideD. In an instruction mamual(C)Neuro-technology has long been a favorite of science-fiction writers. In “Neuromancer”,a wildly inventive book by William Gibson written in 1984,people can use neural(神经的)implants to get into the sensory experiences of others. Iain M. Banks came up with the idea of a neural lace, a mesh(⽹格)that grows into the brain,in his “Culture” series of novels. “The Terminal Man*' by Michael Crichton, published in 1972, imagines the effects of a brain implant on someone who is convinced that machines are taking over from humans.Where the sci-fi led, philosophers are now starting to follow. I n Howard Chizeck’s lab at the University of Washington, researchers are working on an implanted device to administer deep-brain stimulation (DBS) in order to treat a common movement disorder called essentialtremor. Traditionally, DBS stimulation is always on, wasting energy and robbing the patient of a sense of control. The lab’s ethicist (伦理学家), Tim Brown, a doctoral student of philosophy, says that some DBS patients suffer a sense of isolation and complain of feeling like a robot.To change that, the team at the University of Washington is using neuronal activity associated with intentional movements to turn the device on. But the researchers also want to enable patients to use a conscious thought process to override these settings. That is more useful than it might sound: stimulation currents for essential tremor can cause side-effects like distorted speech, so someone about to give a presentation, say, might wish to shake rather than make his words unclear. Giving humans more options of this sort will be essential if some of the more advanced visions for brain-computer interfaces are to be realized. Hannah Maslen from the University of Oxford is another ethicist who works on a BCI project. One of her jobs is to think through the distinctions between inner speech and public speech: people need a dependable mechanism for separating what they want to say from what they think.That is only one of many ethical questions that the sci-fi versions of brain-computer interfaces bring up. What protection will BCIs offer against neural hacking? Who owns neural data, including information that is gathered for research purposes now but may be understandable in detail at some point in the future? Where does accountability lie if a user does something wrong? And if brain implants are performed not for treatment but to improve peopled abilities, will that make the world an even more unequal place?63. What do the three books mentioned in paragraph 1 have in common?A. They are all among what philosophers like best.B. They all tell the stories well beyond imagination.C. They are all works of the greatest sci-fi writers of the time.D. They all deal with people’s losing control of their brains.64. The research of the team at the University of Washington is intended to .A. improve the accuracy of DBSB. let patients decide when to turn on DBSC. separate what we think from what we sayD. get rid of the side effects of stimulation currents65. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Neuronal activity fails to work without intentional movements.B. Brain-computer interfaces do more harm than good.C. People suffering from essential tremor will shake.D. DBS settings cannot be changed once fixed.66. What will the passage most probably talk about next?A. How these questions will be handled.B. Why these questions used to be ignored.C. Which questions come from science fiction.D. Who has first raised these questions.Section CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.The World’s Worst AirportLike expensive watches that never break, the world’s best airports can be boring. You land, breeze through passport control and check into a hotel within minutes. The experience is pleasant, but not memorable. _______67______ To adapt Tolstoy, lovely airports are all alike, but every (不幸的)airport is wretched in its own way.Consider Juba, the airport in South Sudani capital, which is a hot tent. Planes are often late, so passengers must sweat for hours. The departure hall has no toilets, no food and no queuing system. Lucky is the traveller who finds a chair that is only half-broken. Since dirty water and tropical diseases are common, so are upset stomachs. Tough luck. Travellers should have thought twice before eating salad._________68____ Big important people's servants carry their bags, which are ostentatiously (卖弄地) passed round, not through, the scanner. Since the machine seldom works, little people are in effect up- graded to big important status by not having their bags scanned for guns and explosives, either.South Sudan is at war, so many UN planes take off from Juba carrying aid workers and emergency supplies._______69______ When a journalist was booked on a UN flight, he was assured by the government that his papers were in order. Yet at the airport he was told to get a fourth permit, as well as the three expensive ones he had already obtained. This required a trip across town. Predictably, he missed his plane.Juba has three terminals, but only one is in use. After South Sudan became independent in 2011, the government planned to build an airy structure of glass, steel and concrete. ______70_______In 2016 the government decided to build a more modest terminal. But it, too, stands half-completed and empty, next to the tented camp that people actually have to use. Travellers are advised to bring a good, long book.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.Rubbish on the roof of the worldYou might think that the top of Mountain Everest, the highest point in the world, would be one of the few places left on the planet that is free from human rubbish. You'd be wrong. In fact, the mountain is covered with the litter left behind by the thousands of climbers who have reached the peak over the last 50 years.Climbing Mount Everest is a tough task that requires a lot of equipment. Oxygen tanks, tents, sleeping bags and food and water supplies are all necessary for a successful ascent. Once climbers have reached the top, they no longer need as much equipment and there is little reason to carry heavy loads back down the mountain, so the temptation is to leave everything behind. In the days when climbing the mountain was a rare occurrence this wasn't a problem. But now, with more than 40 people getting to the top on some days, the amount of litter has become unacceptable.Recently, many well-known mountaineers have been complaining about the problem and Sir Edmund Hillary (1919-2008), the first man to climb Mount Everest (with Tenzing Norgay in 1953), called for a five-year ban on climbing the summit. But thousands of local people rely on the tourism and the government of Nepal is keen to encourage visitors rather than put them off.But now the government of Nepal, in the face of international criticism, has decided to take action. Each expedition that wants to climb the mountain has to play a $4,000 deposit to the Nepalese authorities. The deposit is refunded if the climbers bring their rubbish back down the mountain. Climbers are also encouraged to use metal containers rather than plastic or glass. These can be crushed once they are empty and then recycled by local business which turn them into knives and forks.V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72.重要的是坚持下去的勇⽓。

Mr. Glen is a millionaire. Five years ago, after returning from abroad to his motherland, he 1 up his small company. Speaking of success, Glen often tells us a story about his extra expensive “school” fees. He always 2 his success to it.At that time, Glen, who already got a Ph. Degree, decided to return to the homeland, starting an undertaking. Before 3 , he bought a Rolex watch with the savings made through years of work after school and the scholarships. At the airport he had to accept the routine customs check. The watch on his wrist was also demanded to be 4 down for inspection. Glen knew that carrying the specific goods out had to pay the tax. And he worried about paying 5 for his watch. So when he was checked, he told a lie that his watch was a worthless fake. When he was 6 of his ‘smarts’, immediately, in the presence of Glen, the officers hit the watch,which 7 nearly ¥100,000, into pieces at hearing Glen’s words. Glen was amazed. 8 he understood why, he was taken to the office to be examined strictly. For many times of entry-exit 9 he knew that only those people in the “blacklist” would “enjoy” this special tre atment. The officers 10 every thing carefully in the box, and warned him no matter what time of entry and exit he must accept the check and if 11 reusing and carrying fake and shoddy(伪劣)goods, he would be 12 according to law! Suddenly, his face turned red, and he had nothing in mind after boarding the plane for long.After returning to the homeland, he often told the story to his family, and his employees, too. He said that this made a deep 13 on him, because an additional high “school” fee that he had ever paid made him realize the value of 14 , which he would 15 as the secret of his success forever. 1.

The human nose is an underestimated tool. Humans are often thought to be 1___ smellers compared with animals, but this is largely because, unlike animals, we stand upright. This means that our noses are 2 to detecting those smells which float through the air, 3 the majority of smells which stick to surfaces. In fact though, we are extremely sensitive to smells, even if we do not generally realize it. Our noses are capable of 4 human smells even when these are 5 to far below one part in one million.6 , some people find that they can smell one type of flower but not another, while others are sensitive to the smells of both flowers. This may be because some people do not have the genes necessary to generate7 smell receptors in the nose. These receptors are the cells which sense smells and send8 to the brain. However, it has been found that even people insensitive to a certain smell at first can suddenly become sensitive to it when9 to itoften enough.The 10 for insensitivity to smell seems to be that brain finds it 11 to keep all smell receptors working all the time but can 12 new receptors if necessary. This may also explain why we are not usually sensitive to our own smells we simply do not need to be. We are not 13 of the usual smell of our own house but we 14 new smells when we visit someone else's.

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。

A.Summer comes and we start thinking of ways to increase liquid intake. Water-rich fruits like watermelon become a basic part of your diet during summer. These fruits can certainly help to stop our thirst. Watermelons are not only nutritious but also help us beat the summer heat. However, can watermelons be shared with our pet dog?There is absolutely no harm in giving a watermelon to your pet. Watermelons are excellent sources of vitamins A and C as well as minerals. Moreover, they help to stop your pet’s thirst as they contain more than 70% water.Before sharing a watermelon with your dog, make sure that you do not feed beyond his ability to digest. The amount you feed will vary depending upon how big your dog is. For instance, if you have a small breed dog, giving a small slice is enough. However, an adult Golden Retriever certainly has the ability to consume more slices.Also, make sure that you remove the seeds before feeding watermelon slices to your dog. This is because dogs find the seeds very difficult to digest; hence their consumption is likely to cause stomach upset. Moreover, the seeds can actually be harmful to your dog as the seeds can be poisonous to your dog when eaten too much. Even taking a few may cause stomach upset in some dogs. So it is best to avoid feeding the seeds to your pet.As far as offering the skin of the watermelon is concerned, you should avoid it. While the rind(外皮) contains a great number of nutrients, if not chewed properly and swallowed, it can get stuck in the stomach and cause a serious digestive problem in dogs.On the whole , while watermelon is not bad for a dog’s health, feeding it in small portions without the skin and the seeds is necessary to keep digestive issues at bay.21. Which of the following isn’t the reason why watermelons can be shared with the pet?A. They are rich in vitamins.B. They contain superior minerals.C. They can provide enough water.D. They can strengthen the digestive system.【答案】:D22. What decides the amount of the watermelon you share with a pet?A. They type of a pet.B. The size of a pet.C. The ripeness of a watermelon.D. The tas te of a watermelon.【答案】:B【解析】:本题【答案】主要在文章第三段。

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 writer is severe with her children when bringing them upD. The wrier has a deep hatred for her mother30. 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.
