AThe government of British Columbia (英属哥伦比亚省) posted an ad. on the website.16．The work place is in the country of ________.A．Canada B．Britain C．Columbia D．the USA17．The painter can get at least _________ in a week.A．$25B．$30C．$750D．$120018．Those who want to get the job are supposed to _________.A．have no work experience B．have college degree C．attention to detail D．weigh 23 kgBFive hundred years ago, explorers (探险者) discovered America. They told stories about treasure hidden in South America. One of the stories was about a city called El Dorado (“the city of gold”) which was somewhere in Colombia. The story said that the local people painted their king with gold once a year. The king then washed off all the gold in a lake. When people in Europe heard this story, they began to talk about finding this lake and taking away the gold and treasure left on the bottom.The west of South America was ruled by the Incas (印加人), who built great temples and palaces out of gold and shining treasure. The Spanish king heard about this. He sent his general, Francisco Pizarro, to South America tobring all their treasure back to Europe. Pizarro and his army landed in South America and soon caught the Incas' emperor. Pizarro required plenty of gold in exchange for the emperor. However, before Pizarro got the gold, he broke his word and killed the emperor.After that, many Incas ran away into the mountains. They took their treasure with them. One of the places they went to was Machu Picchu. This is sometimes called the “lost city of the Incas” because it was hidden for centuries in a thick forest. It was discovered in 1911, but no treasure was found there.Some people still believe that there are more cities full of gold hidden in South America. Many explorers have set out to try to find them. Some have never returned. Perhaps many more will continue to look for “EI Dorado” and the “lost” treasure.19．What does “EI Dorado”mean according to the passage?A．It was a city in Colombia.B．It was an emperor of Inca.C．It was a general from Europe.D．It was a palace filled with treasure.20．Where did the story about the Incas happen?A．In North America.B．In South America.C．In Europe.D．In Asia.21．What happened to the Incas' emperor according to the passage?A．He became rich.B．He got lost.C．He was dead.D．He returned home.22．What’s the best title of the passage?A．The “Lost”Treasure B．The Hidden People C．A Lake Full of Gold D．The Gold MountainsCWhat makes people gain weight? This seems like a simple enough question to answer. If we eat a lot and don’t do enough exercise, we will become fat. However, the science behind weight problems is more complicated (复杂的) than we think.As we know, what we eat greatly affects our weight. It is widely accepted that people have 100% control over what they eat and how much they eat. This, however, is only partly true. People form habits around food at a young age. You may hardly touch vegetables while overeating fried chicken. Meanwhile, the serving size and the background music can both affect how much we eat.Our bodies themselves can decide whether we are more likely to gain weight or lose weight. Scientists have found that the more delicious the food is, the more excited our brains get. If we often have delicious food, over time, our brains will change. Compared to people of normal weight, fat people feel more excited when they see delicious food.Now you know why fat people often have a tough time losing weight. They may have tried very hard, but their bodies are working against their will.Also, our bodies use a variety of hormones (激素) to tell our brains whether they are hungry or full. Ghrelin (食欲刺激素), for example, tells the brain that the body wants food. Leptin (瘦蛋白) meanwhile, tells the brain that it’s time to stop eating. Ghrelin and leptin help us to maintain a healthy weight. But sometimes, they may work improperly. As we get fatter, the levels of leptin in our bodies rise. Our brains are told not to eat all the time. In theend, they would no longer trust leptin and would stop responding to its “warnings”. When we start to lose weight, leptin levels drop. Our brains think we are hungry and make us find food in our refrigerators.23．It can be learnt from the passage that how much we eat can be affected by ________.①the amount of food we are served①the music that is being played in the background①the amount of weight we have recently gained or lost①the habits around food we formed during our childhoodA．①①①B．①①①C．①①①D．①①①24．Compared to people of a healthy weight, fat people ________.A．are more likely to overeat meat B．are less likely to touch vegetablesC．get bored with the food they don’t like D．feel more excited at the sight of delicious food 25．When ghrelin is working properly, it is responsible for _________.A．making us search for food B．helping us to lose weightC．showing us how to gain weight D．telling our brains it’s time to stop eating26．After the levels of leptin have risen in the bodies of fat people, _________.A．those people lose weight easily in a short time B．the levels of ghrelin in their bodies slowly drop C．those people change their lifelong habits around food D．the brains of those people finally stop taking notice of leptin’s messages①Aaron Whiteside, born in the 1980s, believes that life was better in times gone by. He thinks that people were polite and nice in the 1930s but they are greedy (贪婪的) in the modern society. But his friend thinks that living conditions have improved a lot and humans are still kind today. So what do you think?①Just like Aaron Whiteside, nostalgic people think people lived more happily with less in the past. In the old days, people sat around a table together, sharing food and conversations. But now most UK families spend about 20 minutes on supper before hurrying off. Families know less about each other’s lives. There is much more pressure on making a living.①Besides, people bought fewer things in the past, which was better for the environment and made people more creative. For example, bands from the 1960s, such as the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, were much better than today’s. Creative expression is now being lost to technology and greed.①______. In their opinion, both men and women are able to live how they like now. However, women’s position was quite low in the past because they were expected to stay at home, looking after babies and doing a lot of housework. Most women led a boring life at that time.①What’s more, it is agreed that children get better education today. That’s because there are more schools and colleges in the modern society. Thanks to technology development, we live in a shared world where we share information, services and culture, and that teaches us new perspectives (视角).27．Aaron Whiteside and his friend are mentioned as examples to ________.A．explain the importance of being polite and nice B．compare people’s lives in different placesC．give useful suggestions on keeping friendship D．show different opinions on life now and then28．The underlined word “nostalgic” in Para. 2 probably means “people who _________”.A．long for money B．miss the past C．care about health D．refuse to change29．Which of the following can be put in the ___▲___ in Para. 4?A．So, many people prefer to live in the past B．Additionally, life in the past was simple C．However, others hold that life now is fairer D．Actually, people now are much more creative 30．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?A．B．C．D．第II卷（非选择题）说明：本卷共四大题，31小题，满分45分。
