During a recent class, Dutton used apples to brilliantly explain the effects of bullying.Rosie Dutton started out by showing the class two perfect-looking apples. But unknown to the students, she had dropped one of the apples repeatedly on the floor. She picked up the dropped apple and began insulting(侮辱;损害) it.“I started to tell the children how I disliked this apple, that I thought it was ugly and it was a horrible color," Dutton wrote."I told them that because l didn't like it, I didn't want them to like it either.”They passed that apple around in a circle and the kids joined in on the insults. Then, Dutton took a completely different approach with the other apple.“We then passed another apple around and started to say kind words to it,”the 31-year-old wrote.She eventually cut both of them open to reveal that the apple that had been insulted was bruised (青肿的) inside. The apple that received praise wasn't.“When people are bullied, especially children, they feel horrible inside and sometimes don't show or tell others how they are feeling,” Dutton wrote in her post. “If we hadn't cut that apple open, we would never have known how much pain we had caused it.”“Unlike an apple, we have the ability to stop this from happening. We can teach childrenthat it's not OK to say unkind things to each other,” the 31-year-old explained in her post. She later added, “More and more hurt and damage happens inside if nobody does anything to stop the bullying. Let's create a generation of kind, caring children.”1.What didn't the students know in advance?A.She had dropped one apple repeatedly on the floor.B.She had dropped two apples repeatedly on the floor.C.The two apples were perfect-looking in appearance.D.She had picked the two apples from the same tree.2.How did Rosie Dutton teach students bad effects of bullying?A.By reading famous sayings.B.By listing the numbers.C.By making comparisons.D.By quoting some examples.3.At the end of the passage, Rosie Dutton calls on students to be ________.A.braveB.considerateC.activeD.honest4.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.One woman found an incredible way to teach a history lesson.B.People have the ability to stop bullying from happening again.C.A teacher encourages students to put what they learned to use.D.A teacher uses a bruised apple to show bad effects of bullying.Ⅲ.七选五专题The power of humor and laughter is numerous. They entertain us and make us feel good. But, above all, we have discovered that humor and laughter are the best medicine.①_________.They are extremely necessary for helping us to find and keep a balance between life and work. However, they are slipping away from us. We have become far too serious. The only ones who still enjoy humor, laughter, fun and play to the fullest are young children. Children tend to laugh an average of 200 times a day. ②_________. In the 1950s people laughed on average 18 times a day. Today, we are lucky if we average between 4﹣6 times a day.As a matter of fact, a recent study found that people laugh 6 more times in the presence of one person but 30more times in a group of people. ③_________. However, it is not the same as belly jiggling laughter (a deep laugh) you get when you interact with others.④_________. However, this is no longer the case. In fact, the majority of people can hardly find time, nor are they willing to socialize outside home. They turn to electronic media such as television, computers, the Internet, videos, CDs, and audio equipment, which can provide them with instant self﹣entertainment at the push of a button.The workplace does not progress much better due to the pressures to produce more in the same or fewer hours available and to compete, for example, in a manufacturing field(制造业) with cheaper labor elsewhere in the world. ⑤_________.I have developed a real appreciation, perhaps closer to a strong desire for the power of humor and laughter. This encouraged me to write my first book titled “The Power of Humor” and subsequently my second book titled “Kids Say the Goggonest Things” based on the natural humor, laughter, play and fun that kids experience and they freely share with parents, grandparents and teachers.A. Laughter creates a friendly atmosphere in relationships between people.B. Socializing with friends and relatives was much looked forward to.C. Humor and laughter in the workplace have gradually worn away.D. You can get a chuckle(咯咯笑)from jokes you get on the Internet.E. They relieve pain, reduce stress and anxiety, prevent aging and promote a long life.F. From writing about humor and laughter, people start to ask me to speak up for them.G. For adults, however, it is a totally different story.Ⅳ.语法填空The dictionary seems pretty simple. Words ①_____(list) in order, and you simply turn to the right page and find the word you're looking for. But ②_____ (actual), there's something you might not know about the dictionary.We think of dictionaries as large heavy ③_____ (book) that include everything. But there were not any simple, common words in early English dictionaries. In the 16th and 17th centuries, thanks ④_____, the Renaissance's(文艺复兴的) influence, English doubled its vocabulary by ⑤_____ (borrow) words from other languages. Throughout the 17th century, many English men published lists of hard words and people turned to the dictionary ⑥_____ (learn) these words.Although Noah Webster wasn't ⑦_____ first American to produce a dictionary, his name wasclosely connected with the American dictionary. To fully research words, Webster learned 26 languages to write his dictionary, ⑧_____ is called The American Dictionary of the English Language. ⑨_____ (publish) in 1828, it had over 70,000 words. After Webster died in 1843, George and Charles Merriam ⑩_____ (buy) the rights to revise(修订) Webster's dictionary. Their efforts paid off in the fall of 1847 and the book sold well.Ⅴ.短文改错假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。

Space agencies around the world are busy collecting, or planning to collect, samples from asteroids(小行星),moons and planets and so on.China's Chang'e-5 mission is the most recent sample-return mission that has been successfully completed. On Dec 17, 2020, the Chang'e-5 lunar probe(探测器)returned home and landed in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region after weeks of space travel, China Daily reported. This was the world’s first lunar sample-return mission since 1976.

The first asteroid samples were collected by the original Hayabusa spacecraft back in 2010.There will be more such missions in the near future. NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft, which collected samples from the asteroid Bennu in October 2020, is expected to return to Earth in 2023. Russia's Lunar-25 mission is scheduled to launch to the moon in 2021 to collect lunar samples.“I cannot emphasize enough how valuable return samples are for increasing our understanding of the origin and evolution of our solar system and our place in the universe, and how we came to be," said Ann Nguyen, a NASA planetary scientistAs for the Chang'e-5 lunar samples, scientists will conduct various analyses, tests and experiments to determine the composition, structure and physical characteristics of the samples.This information will help to deepen our knowledge about the history of the moon, as well as our solar system as a whole.1.What do we know about the Chang'e-5 lunar probe?A.It was launched on Dec 17,2020.B.It completed the most successful mission.C.It collected the world's first lunar sample.D.It brought back more than 1,700 grams of lunar samples.2.What does the author focus on in paragraphs 3 and 4?A.Providing examples.B.Explaining a concept.C.Drawing comparisons.D.Making a summary.3.Why do we collect samples from space according to Ann Nguyen?A.To learn more about how the solar system originates and evolves.B.To determine the structure of the solar system.C.To deepen our knowledge about our place on Earth.D.To understand how water first appeared on the moon.4.Which can be a suitable title for the text?A.A "golden age" comesB.Man explores spaceC.Space samples landD.Scientists analyse samplesⅢ.七选五专题Two summers ago, I had decided to begin a weight loss journey but had no idea where to start. Two years later, I have yet again decided to start being healthy and I need some knowledge on what to do. Now, I want to share it with all of you.The most important thing that I have come to realize is that you have to see this as a lifestyle change, not just a diet that can end or fail.①_______ You will also feel less pressure if you eat a burger once in a while since you think you haven’t failed a diet and that you can always go twice as hard the next day.②_______Calories in versus calories out (热量输入对热量输出) if you put it in simple terms. If you want to lose weight, you must be eating in a way that your net gain of calories at the end of the day is negative.③_______It is better to eat healthy food with more calories than a low-cal pack of chips. Calorie counting can also become a bit unhealthy if not well controlled. So I recommend just eating well and controlling the amounts of food instead.Exercise is also vital to a healthier life. Although cardio (有氧运动) is known for its quick result, weights are also essential. The more muscle you have, the more calories you burn. Therefore, people with more muscle mass are able to burn what they eat quicker resulting in a greater calorie reduction. ④_______.Everyone has a different body and what I eat may actually be bad for your weight loss.⑤_______ It may take time to find what your body can handle and needs, but do not quit. Good luck and happy eating.A. However, calories are not everything.B. Moreover, weight loss is essentially just math.C. Diets can help you lose some weight temporarily.D. It is also just beneficial in life to be physically strong!E. If you don’t, it is likely that the weight will come back on.F. So my tip here is to eat what makes you personally feel good.G. Therefore, it is very important to calculate and control calories accuratelyⅣ.语法填空Even if all goes well for you in high school, that time of life still can be tough. After all, there's so much for you①________(learn) academically and socially, like getting along with classmates, and dealing with teachers. But of all the②________ (challenge), making good friends might be the most important.According to a new study published in the journal Child Development, best friends likely had a③________ (significance) influence on how you behave in your 20s. Researchers found that those with strong close bonds with their friends at age fifteen were more likely to be healthy and happy later. Importantly, ④________ (popular), defined as lots of people liking you generally but not closely, wasn't found to have the same benefit as close friends.The University of Virginia researchers⑤________ ran the study followed 169 subjects aged 15 to 25 every year for a decade. Then the researchers ⑥________ (analyze) the 10 years ofdata to understand how people handled stress over time. They found that, compared to people with strong high school friendships, those who were merely popular did much ⑦________ (bad) on several measures of mental health, such as self-worth, social acceptance and relaxation.“⑧________ (like) by a large group of people cannot take ⑨________place of building deep, supportive friendships. So trying to build close connections⑩________a few people should be a priority,”wrote Joseph Allen, who coauthored the study.Ⅴ.书面表达假定你是学校的外教助理李华。

I’m sure I was the last person in the world he wanted to accept 9 from. But even that challenge he accepted. I helped him move slowly over the fence. When we were finally 10 on the other side, he said to me, “You know, I didn’t tell you this during the season, but you did 11 . Thank you for filling in for me.”His words freed me from my bad 12 . I thought to myself, how even without an arm he was more of a leader. Damaged but not defeated, he was 13 ahead of me. I was right to have 14 him.

NowIrene Astbury works from 9 am to 5 pm daily at the pet shop in Macclesfield, which she opened with her late husband Les. Her years of hard work have 18 (final)b een acknowledged after a customer nominated(提名) her to be Cheshire’s Woman Of The Year.Picking up her “Lifetime Achievement” award, proud Irene declared she had no plans to retire 19 her 36-year-old business. Irene said,“I don’t see any reason 20 (give) up work. I love coming here and seeing my family and all the friends I 21 (make) over the years.

He planted vegetables, fruit trees and even kept bees for honey.And every week he cleaned Old Man McColgin’s chicken house in exchange for manure(肥料). The Smell really burned the inside of your nose. When we complained about the terrible smell, Dad said the stronger the manure, the healthier the crops, and he was right. For example, just one of his cantaloupes filled the entire house with its sweet smell, and the taste was even sweeter.As the vegetables started coming in, Dad threw himself into cooking. One day, armed with a basket of vegetables, he announced he was going to make stew(炖菜). Dad pulled out a pressure cooker and filled it up with cabbages, eggplants, potatoes, corns, onions and carrots. For about half an hour. the pressure built and the vegetables cooked. Finally, Dad turned off the stove, the pot began to cool and the pressure relief valve sprayed out a cloud of steam. If we thought Dad’s pile of chicken manure was bad, this was 10 times worse. When Dad took off the lid, the smell nearly knocked us out.Dad carried the pot out and we opened doors and windows to air out the house. Just how bad was it? The neighbors came out of their houses to see if we had a gas leak!Determined, Dad filled our plates with steaming stew and passed them around. It didn’t look that bad, and after the first wave had shut down my ability to smell, it didn’t offend the nose so much, either. I took a taste. It would never win a prize in a cooking competition, but it was surprisingly edible, and we drank up every last drop of soup.26. Why did Dad clean Old Man Mocolgin’s chicken house regularly?A.

Back in 1983, twoscientists, Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin, reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get. These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm. What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds, VOCs for short.Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked .It’s a plant’s way of crying out. But is anyone listening? Apparently. Because we can watch the neighbors’react.Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away. But others do double duty. They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers. Once they arrive, the tables are turned. The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch.In study after study, it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors. The damage is usually more serious on the first plant, but the neighbors, relatively speaking, stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do.Does this mean that plants talk to each other? Scientists don’t know. Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in effect, was talking to itself. Perhaps the neighbors just happened to “overhear”the cry. So information was exchanged, but it wasn’t a true, intentional back and forth.Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more intimate(亲密的) than the world we can see and hear. Our senses are weak. There’s a whole lot going on.26. What does a plant do when it is under attack?A. It makes noises.B. It gets help from other plants.C. It stands quietlyD.

Phil Blythe explains: “For many older people, particularly those living alone or in the country, driving is important for preserving their independence, giving them the freedom to get out and about without having to rely on others.”“But we all have to accept that as we get older our reactions slow down and this often results in people avoiding any potentially challenging driving conditions and losing confidence in their driving skills. The result is that people stop driving before they really need to.”Dr Amy Guo, the leading researcher on the older driver study, explains: “The DriveLAB is helping us to understand what the key points and difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to address these problems.”“For example, most of us would expect older drivers always go slower than everyone else but surprisingly, we found that in 30mph zones they struggled to keep at a constant speed and so were more likely to break the speed limit and be at risk of getting fined. We’re looking at the benefits of systems which control their speed as a way of preventing that.”“We hope that our work will help with technological solutions(解决方案) to ensure that older drivers stay safer behind the whe el.”1.

I left it early because I had an 16 (appoint) later that day. My friends walked me to the bus stop and waited with me until the bus arrived. I got on the bus and found a seat near the back, and then I noticed a man 17 (sit) at the front. He was pretending that a tiger toy was real and giving it a voice. He must be 18___ (mental) disabled.Behind him were other people 19 he was trying to talk to, but after some minutes he walked away and sat near me, looking annoyed.I didn’t want to 20 (laugh) at for talking to him 21 I didn’t like leaving him on his own either. After a while I rose from my seat and walked to 22 front of the bus. I sat next 23 the man and introduced myself. We had an 24 (amaze) conversation. He got off the bus before me and I 25 (feel) very happy the rest of the way home. I’m glad I made a choice. It made both of us feel good.Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, today’s stars, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. They are at the center of much of the world’s attention. Paparazzi(狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids(小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature!According to psychologist Christina Villarreal, celebrities —famous people —worry constantly about their public appearance. Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names. “Over time,” Villarreal says, “they feel separated and alone.”The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th century B.C., painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him tocomplain(抱怨)about his lack of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.If fame is so troublesome, why aren’t all celebrities running away from it? The answer is there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous already.26. It can be learned from the passage that stars today .A. are often misunderstood by the publicB. can no longer have their privacy protectedC. spend too much on their public appearanceD. care little about how they have come into fame27. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?A. Great heroes of the past were generally admired.B. The problem faced by celebrities has a long history.C. Well-known actors are usually targets of tabloids.D. Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.28. What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today?A. Availability of modern media.B. Inadequate social recognition.C. Lack of favorable chances.D. Huge population of fans.29. What is the author’s attitude toward modern celebrity?A. Sincere.B. Sceptical.C. Disapproving.D.

This trend, 16 was started by the medical community with a method of fighting heart disease, has had some unintended side 17 such as overweight and heart disease — the very thing the medical community was trying to fight.Fat and salt are very important parts of a diet. They are required 18 (process) the food that we eat, to recover 19 injury and for several other bodily functions. When fat and salt 20 (remove) from food, the food tastesas if it is missing something. As a result, people will eat more food to try to make up for that something missing. Even 21 (bad), the amount of fast food that people eat 22 (go) up. Fast food is full of fat and salt; by eating more fast food people will get more salt and fat than they need in their diet.23 (have) enough fat and salt in your meals will reduce the urge to snack(吃点心) between meals and will improve 24 taste of your food. However, be careful not to go to extremes. Like anything, it is possible to have too much of both, which is not good for the 25 (healthy).Their cheery song brightens many a winter’s day. But robins are in danger of wearing themselves out by singing too much. Robins(知更鸟) are singing all night—as well as during the day, British-based researchers say.David Dominoni, of Glasgow University, said that light from street lamps, takeaway signs and homes is affecting the birds’biological clock, leading to them being wide awake when they should be asleep.Dr. Dominoni, who is putting cameras inside nesting boxes to track sleeping patterns, said lack of sleep could put the birds’ health at risk. His study shows that when robins are exposed to light at night in the lab, it leads to some genes being active at the wrong time of day. And the more birds are exposed to light, the more active they are at night.He told people at a conference, “There have been a couple of studies suggesting they are increasing their song output at night and during the day they are still singing. Singing is a costly behaviour and it takes energy. So by increasing their song output, there might be some costs of energy.”And it is not just robins that are being kept awake by artificial light. Blackbirds and seagulls are also being more nocturnal. Dr Dominoni said, “In Glasgow where I live, gulls are a serious problem. I have people coming to me saying “You are the bird expert. Can you help us kill these gulls? During the breeding(繁殖) season, between April and June, they are very active at night and very noisy and people can’t sleep.”Although Dr Dominoni has only studied light pollution, other research concluded that robins living in noisy cities have started to sing at night to make themselves heard over loud noise.26. According to Dr Dominoni’s study, what cause robins to sing so much?A. The breeding season.B. The light in modernC. The dangerous environment.D. The noise from heavy machinery.27. What is the researchers’ concern over the increase of birds’ song output?。

And how do youmake sure you have a website that really works?Lavinia Davolio makes luxury handmade sweets inspired by her Italian heritage. She says her business received a boost when she opened a store on Amazon’s Marketplace.“It’s easy for clients to discover something unique and handmade if it’s available through such a trusted online platform. And it means we can offer convenient delivery at a competitive price and give our handmade sweets an incredible reach and visibility (透明度), ” she says.Lavinia is one of thousands of small businesses who’ve decided to set up shop on an e-commerce marketplace—Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Alibaba’s Taobao, Rakuten to name some of the largest—rather than go through the trouble of setting up their own websites. Amazon charges retailers a 15% fee, but in return even the very smallest entrepreneurs can get a slice of the retail titan’s gl obal pulling power just by uploading images and descriptions of their products and then setting their pricing.Something like Amazon’s Marketplace is a no-brainer. Entry costs are very low and straightaway you have a very wide marketplace at your fingertip s. When you’re starting out with your own website, you’re having to attract the traffic. This can be complicated and mean extra costs if you need outside help.However, some e-tailers want more creative control over their online shops and to keep more of the sales income for themselves. Going it alone is certainly a lot cheaper than it used to be, but according to payment processor WorldPay, the average small business spends £2, 500 on setting up an e-commerce platform.1. What can we learn about Lavinia Davolio?A. She sold her products on her own e-commerce platform.B. The creation of her sweets came from an Italian tradition.C. She was a success after controlling her online shop alone.D. The failure of her online shopping resulted from delivery service.2. What are bound to happen when retailers join Amazon?A. Retailers each have to give 15% of their income to Amazon.B. The goods of retailers can be hard to be found by customers.C. Retailers should decrease the price of their products gradually.D.

He owned a farm, 16 looked almost abandoned. 17 (lucky), he also had a cow which produced milk every day. He sold or exchanged some of the milk in the towns nearby for other food and made cheese and butter 18 the family with 19 was left. The cow was their only means of support, in fact. One day, the cow 20 (eat) grass when it began to rain heavily. While 21 (make) great efforts torun away, she fell over the hill and died. Then the Johnson tried to make a living without the cow. 22 (support) his family, Mr. Johnson began to plant herbs and 23 (vegetable). Since the plants took 24 while to grow, he started cutting down trees to sell the wood. Thinking about his children’s clothes, he started growing cotton too. Whe n harvest came around, he was already selling herbs, vegetables and cotton in the market where people from the townmet regularly. Now it occurred to 25 that his farm had much potential and that the death of the cow was a bit of luck.About twenty of us had been fortunate enough to receive invitations to a film-studio (影棚) to take part in a crowd-scene. Although our "act" would last only for a short time, we could see quite a number of interesting things.We all stood at the far end of the studio as workmen prepared the scene, setting up trees at the edge of a winding path. Very soon, bright lights were turned on and the big movie-camera was wheeled into position. The director shouted something to the camera operator and then went to speak to the two famous actors nearby. Since it was hot in the studio, it came as a surprise to us to see one of the actors put on a heavy overcoat and start walking along the path. A big fan began blowing tiny white feathers down on him, and soon the trees were covered in "snow". Two more fans were turned on, and a "strong wind" blew through the trees. The picture looked so real that it made us feel cold.The next scene was a complete contrast (对比). The way it was filmed was quite unusual. Pictures taken on an island in the Pacific were shown on a glass screen (幕). An actor and actress stood in front of the scene so that they looked as if they were at the water's edge on an island. By a simple trick like this, palm trees, sandy beaches, and blue, clear skies had been brought into the studio!Since it was our turn next, we were left wondering what scene would be prepared for us. Fora full three minutes in our lives we would be experiencing the excitement of being film "stars"!26. Who is the author?A. A cameraman.B. A film director.C. A crowd-scene actor.D.

IN DENMARK you’re never more than 30 miles from the sea. Aside from Jutland’s boundary with Germany, Denmark is 36 (entire)surrounded by water, with a total of 5,437 miles of coastline, “This made it perfect for the Viking society, 37 sailing was the most important way to get around,” says Rikke Johansen, direc tor at the Viking Ship Museum, in Roskilde. “Land divided people; water connected 38 (they).” Fishing was a necessity for39 (survive) long before Denmark, which is made up of 406 islands, 40 (become) an agricultural nation, but today, Johansen says, water means leisure for most Danes, “We take it41 granted; it’s a way of life. For many of us,42 (look) out at water every day is key.” The whole of Denmark is lowland, formed by Ice Age glaciers and glacial streams. With 43 highest point just 558 feet above sea level, the country is easily influenced by floods and storms. Sea levels are expected to rise three feet by 2100, and 44 (scientist) are worried that historical sites on the coast will disappear altogether. In 2019 the 120-year-old Rubjerg Knude light- house, originally 45 (build) 656 feet from the sea, had to be wheeled back, as coastal erosion(侵蚀) had reduced that distance to just 19 feet.答案36. entirely 37.where/whose 38.them 39. survival 40.became41.for 42.looking 43.the 44. scientists 45.built答案解析1. 本题主要考查副词。

It 16 (run) for just under seven kilometers and allowed people to avoid terrible crowds on the roads above as they travelled to and 17 work. It took three years to complete and was built using an interesting method. This included 18 (dig) up the road, laying the track and then buildinga strong roof over the top. When all those had been done, the road surface 19 (replace).Steam engines were used to pull the carriages and it must have been fairly 20 (pleasant) for the passengers, with all the smoke and noise. However, the railway quickly proved to be 21 great success and within six months, more than 25,000 people were using 22 every day.Later, engineers managed to construct railways in a system of deep tunnels (隧道), 23__ became known to the tube. This development was only possible with the 24 (introduce) of electric-powered engines and lifts. The central London Railway was one of the most successful of these new lines, and was opened in 1900. It had white-painted tunnels and bright red carriages, and proved 25 (extreme) popular with the public.When a leafy plant is under attack, it doesn’t sit quietly. Back in 1983, two scientists, Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin, reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get. These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm. What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds, VOCs for short.Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked .It’s a plant’s way of crying out. But is anyone listening? Apparently. Because we can watch the neighbors’ react.Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away. But others do double duty. They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers. Once they arrive, the tables are turned. The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch.In study after study, it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors. The damage is usually more serious on the first plant, but the neighbors, relatively speaking, stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do.Does this mean that plants talk to each other? Scientists don’t know. Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in effect, was talking to itself. Perhaps the neighbors just happened to “overhear” the cry. So information was exchanged, but it wasn’t a true, intentional back and forth.Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more intimate(亲密的) than the world we can see and hear. Our senses are weak. There’s a whole lot going on.26. What does a plant do when it is under attack?A. It makes noises.B. It gets help from other plants.C. It stands quietlyD.

After all, the scientist is engaged in serious research to uncover the very nature of the physical world, and the baby is, well, just playing…right?Perhaps, but somedevelopmental psychologists(心理学家) have argued that this “play”is more like a scientific investigation than one might think.Some psychologists suggest that young children learn about more than just the physical world in this way — that they investigate human psychology and the rules of language using similar means. For example, it may only be through repeated experiments, evidence gathering, and finally overturning a theory, that a baby will come to accept the idea that other people can have different views and desires from what he or she has, for example, unlike th e child, Mommy actually doesn’t like Dove chocolate.Viewing childhood development as a scientific investigation throws on how children learn, but it also offers an inspiring look at science and scientists. Why do young children and scientists seem to be so much alike? Psychologists have suggested that science as an effort —the desire to explore, explain, and understand our world— is simply something that comes from our babyhood. Perhaps evolution(进化) provided human babies with curiosity and a natural drive to explain their worlds, and adult scientists simply make use of the same drive that served them as children. The same cognitive(认知的) systems that make young children feel good about figuring something out may have been adopted by adult scientists. As some psychologists put it,” It is not that children are little scientists but that scientists are big children.”26.

每日一练14I’m not sure which is more frightened, me 1 the female gorilla(大猩猩) that suddenly appears out of nowhere. I’m walking on 2 path in the forest in the Central African Republic. Unexpectedly, I’m face-to-face with the gorilla, who begins 3 at the top of her lungs. That makes her baby scream, and then a 400-pound male appears. He screams the loudest of all. The noise 4 (shake) the trees as the male beats his chest and charges toward me. I quickly lower 5 (I), ducking my head to avoid looking 6 (direct) into his eyes so he doesn’t feel challenged.My name is Mireya Mayor. I’m a scientist 7 studies animals such as apes and monkeys.I was searching 8 these three western lowland gorillas I’d been observing. No one had seen them for hours, and my colleagues and I were worried.When the gorillas and I frightened each other, I was just glad 9 (find) them alive. True to a gorilla’s unaggressive nature, the huge animal meant me no real harm. He was just saying: “I’m king of this forest, and here is your reminder!” Once his message 10 (deliver), he allowed me to stay and watch.Every animal sleeps, but the reason for this has remained foggy. When lab rats are not allowed to sleep, they die within a month. 11One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories. 12 We know that, while awake, fresh memories are recorded by reinforcing (加强) connections between brain cells, but the memory processes that take place while we sleep have been unclear.Support is growing for a theory that sleep evolves(逐步形成) so that connections between neurons(神经元) in the brain can be weakened overnight, making room for fresh memories to form the next day. 13Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right. 14 The synapses in the mice taken at the end of a period of sleep were 18 per cent smaller than those taken before sleep, showing that the connections between neurons weaken while sleeping.If Tononi’s theory is right, it would explain why, when we miss a night’s sleep, we find it harder the next day to concentrate and learn new information — our brains may have smaller room for new experiences.Their research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even though the synapses become thinner. The team discovered that some synapses seem to be protected and stayed the same size. 15 “You keep what matters,” Tononi says.A. We should also try to sleep well the night before.B. It’s as if the brain is preserving its most important memories.C. Similarly, when people go for a few days without sleeping, they get sick.D. The processes take place to stop our brains becoming loaded with memories.E. That’s why students do better in tests if they get a chance to sleep after learning.F. “Sleep is the price we pay for learning,” says Giulio Tononi, who developed the idea.G. Tononi’s team measured the size of these connections, or synapses, in the brains of 12 mice.Why Do We Get Angry?Anger seems simple when we are feeling it, but the causes of anger are various. Knowing these causes can make us examine our behavior, and correct bad habits. The main reasons we get angryare triggering(触发)events, personality traits(特征), and our assessment of situations. 16 Triggering events for anger are so many that to describe them all would take hundreds of pages. However, here are some examples: being cut off in traffic, a deadline approaching, experiencing physical pain, and much more. 17 The reason why someone is triggered by something and othersare not is often due to one’s personal history and psychological traits.Each person, no matter who they are, has psychological imbalances. People who have personality traits that connect with competitiveness and low upset tolerance are much more likely to get angry. 18 Also, sometimes pre-anger does not have to do with a lasting condition, but rathera temporary state before a triggering event has occurred.19 Sometimes even routine occurrences become sources of pre-anger, or anger itself. Sometimes ignorance and negative (消极的) outlooks on situations can create anger.20 However, anger can easily turn violent, and it is best to know the reasons for angerto appear in order to prevent its presence. With these main reasons in mind, we can evaluateour level of anger throughout the day and prevent cases of outbursts by comprehending the reasonsfor our feelings.A. Our attitude and viewpoint on situations can create anger within us as well.B. But some types of situations can help us to get rid of the occurrence of anger.C. Anger is rarely looked upon as a beneficial character trait, and is usually advised to reduceit.D. Anger is a particularly strong feeling and maybe people think that they have reasons to feel angry.E. Having these personality traits implies the pre-anger state, where anger is in the background of your mind.F. Understanding these reasons will control our own anger if we are willing to evaluate ourselves with a critical eye.G. Not everyone acts the same in response to events, and that is why what triggers one person may or may not trigger another.假定你是李华,你的新西兰朋友Terry将去中国朋友家做客,发邮件向你询问有关习俗。

Whether in the home or the workplace, social robots are going to become a lot more common in the next few years. Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way, said Cynthia Breazeal, chief scientist at the robot company Jibo.While household robots today do the normal housework, social robots will be much more like companions than mere tools. For example, these robots will be able to distinguish when someone is happy or sad. This allows them to respond more appropriately to the user.The Jibo robot, arranged to ship later this year, is designed to be a personalized assistant. You can talk to the robot, ask it questions, and make requests for it to perform different tasks. The robot doesn’t just deliver gener al answers to questions; it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household. It can do things such as reminding an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos.Social robots are not just finding their way into the home. They have potential applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these spaces.Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the market. The company’s “Oshbot” robot is built to assist customers in a store, which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the product’s location in the store. It can also speak different languages and make recommendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for.The more interaction the robot has with humans, the more it learns. But Oshbot, like other social robots, is not intended to replace workers, but to work alongside other employees. “We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us, but with us,” said Breazeal.26.
