New analysis of the arm bones of Lucy, an early hominid, suggests she was a tree climber. Lucy’s remains were uncovered in Ethiopia in the 1970s, with the 3.18 million-year-old skeleton(骨骼)being the most complete of any upright, walking human ancestor. Since she was discovered, researchers have debated whether she spent her life in the trees or spent time walking on the plains as well.The new evidence from scans of her arm bones proves she spent time climbing and used her arms to pull herself up. The scans were compared with cross sections of humans and chimpanzees, which spend a mixture of time in trees and walking on all fours on the ground. They found that the arm bones were more heavily built, similar to those of chimps, while her lower limbs(下肢)would have meant she walked less efficiently than modern humans. Professor John Kappelman, atUniversityofTexas, believes the advantage of his study was that it focused on characteristics that reflect actual behavior during life, suggesting that evenwhen Lucy walked upright, she may have done so less efficiently than modern humans, limiting her ability to walk long distances on the ground.Previous studies suggested that Lucy was just 4 feet tall and weighed just 65 pounds. Combining the new data paints a picture of an ancestor who may have spent a great amount of her time in trees. It also expands on evidence from earlier this year which claimed that Lucy may have died from a fall, most likely from a tree. The evidence suggests Lucy may have spent time on the ground, returning to the safety of the trees for food and to sleep, to avoid her enemies.4. What did the researchers argue about after Lucy was discovered?A. Where she lived.B. How long she lived.C. What she ate.D. How she worked.5. How could people tell Lucy spent time climbing?A. By her walking style.B. By her heavily built arm bones.C. By her strong lower limbs.D. By her large cross sections.6. When Lucy walked, she may________.A. have walked with bigger stepsB. have walked at a faster speedC. have walked more efficiently than usD. have walked a shorter distance than us7. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Guesses about Lucy’s characteristics.B. Some evidence of Lucy’s health.C. The safety of Lucy.D. The ancestor of Lucy.CSometimes people make history. George Washington became the first president of theUnited Statesand made history. Sometimes wars make history. The two World Wars are examples. Sometimes nature even becomes part of history. Shaking earthquakes are recorded in history books.Sixteen years ago, nature caused just such a history-making event. In September 2005, Hurricane Katrina came ashore inNew Orleans,Louisiana. The deadly storm floodedNew Orleans. Before Katrina, no other big American city had ever flooded in the history of the country. This natural disaster caused great harm and death.New Orleansis located below sea level. This location places it at great risk. Levees were built to protectNew Orleansfrom the ocean. (A levee is like a wall between the city and the ocean.) When Hurricane Katrina came ashore, water moved over the levees into the city. Flooding made it necessary for everyone to leave the city. Before Katrina, Creole food (a special kind of cooking only inLouisiana) filled the air with delicious smells. The sound of jazz music traveled through the streets. Now the city has to return to its former glory.Before Katrina, ernment had never made everyone leave a city. People inNew Orleanshad to find shelter quickly. Some had to stay at theSuperdomeSportsCenter. Some rode on buses to other towns. Thousands drove their cars to get away from the storm. The roads and shelters filled up fast.The lesson learned from Katrina was that cities must be better prepared for big storms and other terrible disasters caused by nature. Being prepared might have kept more people safe. Hurricane Katrina is one of the history-making events that will be remembered forever. Today, history is still being made that will shape the future.8. What does the author tell us aboutNew Orleans?A. It was built above sea level.B. It had few jazz musicians after Katrina.C. It was the firstU.S.city that had been flooded.D. It created a wholly new way to cook after Katrina.9. What can we say about the levees?A. They were almost useless for fighting Katrina.B. They helped people leaveNew Orleansquickly.C. They made NewOrleansa special American city.D. They should be built to match the size ofNew Orleans.10. What might the author advise city governments to do?A. Put up more shelters in the city.B. Build more levees around the city.C. Teach people how to avoid floods.D. Try to get ready for natural disasters.11. What is the best title for the text?A. Storms are dangerousB. Katrina makes historyC. Floods shapeLouisianaD. History must be rememberedDA 24-year-old female space commander has become a viral sensation on Chinese social media for her work.Zhou Chengyu was in charge of the rocket connector system---described as a vital role. Her story in particular has drawn the public’s attention given her young age. Social media users have been celebrating her brilliance and referring to her as pride of the country.Being the youngest of the team, Zhou Chengyu was born in1996 intheprovinceofGuizhou. She is certainly not “old” enough compared with her colleagues, but she is known at work as "Big Sister” as a sign of respect. Once in a 3-km running contest, she actually beat half of her male counterparts. Although work shifts are not uncommon at the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site, each shift requires tremendous courage because of the different background knowledge. However, for Zhou Chengyu, she experienced multiple positions in 5 launching tests and now she is the youngest commander at the site.Despite carefulness and high responsibility at work, she is just like her peers in normal life. Eating snacks and shopping are her favorite free-time activities. Her high school teacher remembers her as tough and determined. “She always had a dream of becoming scientist,” said her physics teacher.According to her colleague, Zhou Chengyu was very surprised when she found out shewent viralonline. She said that she was happy when she saw people online regarding her as the pride of the country, and yet she kept saying that she was “nobody but normal worker at a launch site” and there are a lot more people just like her going unnoticed while doing the hardest job to guarantee a better future for the Chinese space program. She also said that she wished to remain her current status and continue doing her work with or without the popularity.12. What makes Zhou Chengyu the pride of the country?A. Her young age.B.

We have a large number of members who have been with the club for many years. We enjoy the fellowship of exploring the world with our cycling friends on tours developed by club members for other members.Membership in BAC is open to experienced touring cyclists over 18 years old. The membership fee to join is $ 30 for an individual and $ 60 for a couple; renewal fees each year after that are $20 for individuals and $40 for couples and is due on the anniversary of your join date. Members that allow their membership to stop will need to rejoin the BAC at the full rate. Only BAC members can sign up for and participate in rides. New BAC members are required to have email access in order to receive club communications and to apply for club rides.Each rider brings his/her own bicycle or rents one suitable for the ride. The bicycle should be in good condition and each rider is responsible for performing his or her own bike maintenance (维护) as necessary. It is up to each participant to determine that he or she is able to do any ride for which they sign up.

What does this mean? I don’t know. But when I overhear my students speaking to each other, I am often similarly confused.I teach at a university. One of the “problems” is that as the years pass, I get older, but my students remain the same age — 18 to 22. Early on, when I was in my 20s and 30s, this wasn’t an issue, as we were close enough in age to speak the same language. But lately I have become well aware that a language ship seems to have sailed, and I am not on board.Let me make it clear by using an example: Recently, when I walked into my class, my students were chatting happily with each other. One of their comments caught my ear: “Venmo it to me.” I had no idea what “Venmo” meant, so I asked. The good-natured students were happy to explain it to me, and in return I nodded with an awkward expression, as if I should have known better.I went home that evening, absorbed in that moment of noncomprehension (不理解). I am not against change, but I am uncomfortable with change when its pace has me hanging on by my fingernails. If I were to awaken from a five-year nap, I’d have no idea what people were talking about. I just wouldn’t understand the language.Their willingness to explain their words to me is a great comfort, and I congratulate myself on at least having interest in what they’re talking about, as well as on my ability — for the most part — to understand their explanations.But what will happen if my interest wanes and that the language ship finally disappears over the horizon? The answer, to me, is clear: Klaatu Barada Nikto.24.What did the author probably meet with?A.Hearing loss.B.Cultural shock.C.A language barrier.D.A frightening robot.25.What makes the author fall behind in language?A.Learning needs.B.Teaching tasks.C.Age difference.D.Language abuse.26.What does the author think of language change?A.It is entirely avoidable.B.It is really small.C.It is verybeneficial.D.It is much too rapid.27.What does the underlined word “wanes” mean in the last paragraph?A.Lessens.B.Grows.C.Happens.D.Focuses.Recently, research on how a new virtual (虚拟的) reality (VR) experience educated primary children about the fire disasters was done. It was developed by the University of South Australia, aiming to educate children to learn how to be safer in a fire.Focusing on children aged 10-12 years old, the new VR experience presents a situation where children are tasked to look after a friend’s dog just before a fire event begins to spread. They participate in a series of problem-solving activities to help save and protect themselves and the dog.The findings showed that more than 80 percent of children reported that they felt more confident to calmly assess the situation and make wise decisions to protect themselves from a fire. This isl especially important considering that 91 percent of participants originally lacked any knowledge of fires, and that 67 percent had said that they were too young to make safety decisions in a fire.The researchers believed such immersive (沉浸式的) VR experiences had real potential (潜力) to attract and educate the young. “As children born in digital times, they are interested in such technology and they can experience events realistically yet within the safe environment.” said Delene Weber, one of the researchers. “Well-designed VR can provide a chance for children to apply newly-acquired knowledge, strengthen their learnt concepts, and enable immediate reaction—all incredibly valuable learning tools.”Meanwhile, because children have fewer life experiences, aren’t as physically strong, and are less likely to have learned much about fire safety, they’re often most at risk. Yet theability for children to contribute to fire safety at their household should not be underestimated (低估).“Children do not need to be passively attacked by disasters and with purpose-built virtual reality experiences such as these, we can help children understand the risks and realize they can help,” said Weber.28.How does the new VR experience try to educate children?A.By introducing a virtual friend to them.B.By finding the causes of a fire event.C.By letting them solve virtual problems.D.By guiding them to ask a dog for help. 29.What did the result of the research about VR experiences show?A.Many children found it hard to adapt to them.B.They helped children deal with fire postively.C.They benefited children with knowledge of animals.D.Most children had a misunderstanding about them.30.What is Weber’s attitude towards the new VR experiences?A.Doubtful.B.Indifferent.C.Disapproving.D.Supportive. 31.What can be the most suitable title for the text?A.VR experiences educate kids to survive a fire B.VR experiences make learning easier for kidsC.VR education appeals to the young generation D.VR technology makes no sense in fighting a fire.Dr. Degenaar came into the lecture room on the first Friday morning of the term and asked us to write down our own understanding of the “soul”. Here was the “teacher” asking us what we thought — it was really an exciting experience. He was not telling us what he thought but asking us how we saw something. The following discussion was interesting. That was my first experience of real learning in a classroom.Almost 50 years have passed since that experience. Of the other lecturers who “taught” me during that year, I remember they “taught” me the history of Greek philosophy (哲学), but I remember little of that history and nothing of those lecturers. And most of what I remember about Greek philosophy is what I learned in Dr. Degenaar’s class, for my own interest.I took further courses with Dr. Degenaar in the following years. Lake the first class, there was little “lecturing” at us, but far more involvement (参与) of us all in a process ofcommon discovery in which we learned a lot about each other and the key points of the day. The excitement of discovery stays with me. Then it took me almost another 20 years to get a deeper understanding of what had happened in that lecture hall: experiential learning.Traditionally, learners have been seen as “empty containers” waiting to be “filled” with learning given them by the teacher. The learner is, therefore, dependent on the teacher for what to think and how to think. Compliance (遵从) is rewarded and so independent and original thinking is not developed.In comparison, in experiential learning, the learner is encouraged to think for himself/herself not to repeat the thought patterns of the teacher. The learning happens not because of what a “teacher” or “lecturer” says but because of what the learner does. In this sense, I think this is the best way to learn and everyone should try it and learn from it. 32.Which word best describes the author’s first Greek philosophy class?A.Boring.B.Amazing.C.Confusing.D.Depressing. 33.Why does the author compare Dr. Degenaar and the other lecturers?A.To praise Dr. Degenaar’s attitude to his job.B.To stress Dr. Degenaar’s great influence on him.C.To point out Dr. Degenaar’s popularity among students.D.To show the author’s deep interest in Greek philosophy.34.How does experiential learning differ from traditional learning?A.It has no specific learning places.B.It applies knowledge to medical care.C.It encourages independent thinking.D.It focuses more on the result of learning. 35.What is the text mainly about?A.A respected teacher.B.A favorite university lesson.C.The factors of experiential learning.D.An effective learning method.There are so many ways to explore in regard to finding new happiness. Below you’ll find some tips to help you find your idea of happiness.Find a new hobby. When it comes to hobbies, the possibilities are endless. You can be as adventurous, creative, or outgoing as you want. You can try out a new hobby alone or with friends. Hobbies can help reduce stress and put our focus on what is fun and different. 36 Put yourself first. A lot of people forget to take care of themselves because of a busy work schedule, marriage, kids and family. But remember when you put yourself first, yourhappiness will shine through for sure. 37 This way, you can not only be your best self but also possibly take better care of people around you.Exercise. Not everyone is a fan of exercise, but it does have so many benefits. 38 All it takes is 30 minutes of movement to gain those “feel-good chemicals” to better your mood (心情) and health.Eat a balanced diet. There is a relationship between food and mood. 39 A healthy balanced diet will make you stronger and happier. If you eat poorly, your organs (器官) will react negatively. As a result, you suffer from illnesses or have mood swings — you anger easily and find it hard to concentrate.40 Having a good support system is known to help improve our well-being. Unfortunately, not everyone means well. So it’s important to be aware of that and make it your priority only to allow people beneficial to your mental health in your life.A.Choose your social circles wisely.B.Know that people are always there for you.C.You are doing your body a service by working out.D.Happiness is based on how much you can do for others.E.The key is to find something that will do just that for you.F.What you put in your body determines how your body responds.G.Taking time out for yourself daily improves your emotion and performance.三、完形填空injuries or lives lost.

So hoist the anchor, throw off the bowlines, catch the following wind, and set sail on a voyage of discovery to create memories that will last a lifetime.Where to GoThe beauty of a sailing gap year is that you don’t just visit a single place. Thes e unique adventures can take you across oceans and whole regions to experience dozens of countries in a single gap year. Some programs combine several regions including the Indian Ocean, the Caribbean Sea, etc. while others stick to just one.CostsHow much a sailing gap year costs varies greatly depending on the type of program and the length of the voyage. A program lasting a few weeks may cost S$ 5,000 or more. Months long adventures may be as much as $20.000, especially if they involve college credit or other coursework.VisaVisa requirements will vary depending on where your voyage takes you. Your program will inform you of which visas you’ll need. Make sure you obtain your visas well in advance.HousingHousing will consist of a berth (铺位) aboard your boat. Don’t expect anything fancy. You’ll likely have little more than a bed and a small storage locker in a two-or three-person cabin. Given the limited size of your living space, expect to stay close to your crewmates at all times with little real privacy.Health & SafetyLiving aboard a ship means that you can’t always count on having medical facilities (设施) nearby. You may be asked to provide a note from your doctor confirming that you are in good health before being accepted into your program. Most programs include medical emergency insurance as part of their fees. See what it covers and what it doesn’t when making your decisions.16. What do the sailing programs provide for participants?A.Journeys by land.B.Chances to study abroad.C.Courses of famous universities.D.Opportunities to travel around the world.17. What do you have to do before entering for the programs?A.Ask parents for advice. B.Save as much as $ 20,000.C.Obtain your proper visa. D.Have a medical examination.18. Which word can best describe the living conditions in the programs?A.Tough. B.Fancy. C.Noisy. D.Comfortable.At schools across the United States,students often sit down to cafeteria lunches made from processed foods that are high in fat,sodium,and sugar.But kids at Public School(P.S.)216 in Brooklyn have a different dining experience.Principal Donna Neglia reports that her students love eating flesh fruits and vegetables.P.S.216 participated in the Edible Schoolyard Project,a nonprofit program founded by Chef Alice Waters in 1995.The program that Waters created helps public schools across the country start on-site gardens and weave principles of healthy eating into the curriculum.Students grow and maintain crops,harvesting the fruits and vegetables for cafeteria meals.Waters expressed her passion for the principles of the farm-to-table movement.She advised schools to connect with the farmers in their area and change their buying practices when planning meals for students.Waters has long been inspiring people to care about where their food comes from.In 1993,she put forward the idea of a White House vegetable garden.It was not until 2009 that Michelle Obamastarted the garden in the backyard of the White House.She and members of the kitchen staff spent hours tending to the garden,often with help from local school children.“That gave people a sense that she cared about children and cared about where our food comes from,”Waters said,praising the former First Lady’s concern for young people’s health.“We are just building this movement,and it is very exciting.”“Through the Edible Schoolyard Project,students also learn about the benefits of healthy eating in the classroom.”Neglia said.“P.S.216 is teaching kids about careers in the food industry—such as farming and agriculture,nutrition,food safety,and the restaurant business.”Similar classes are taking place around the country.So far,the Edible Schoolyard Project has reached more than 1 million students in more than 367 schools.“I'm thinking about the future of the planet,”Waters said.“I'm doing this for our generation.”19. What’s the purpose of the Edible Schoolyard Project?A.To reduce students’stress.B.To let students eat healthy food.C.To improve schools’environment.D.To expect students to experience farming.20. What can we learn from Paragraph 5?A.The project made Waters famous,B.Running a garden was too difficult for students.C.Waters thought highly of what Michelle Obama did.D.The former First Lady should care about young people.21. From the text we can infer that___________.A.P.S.216 belongs to the pioneers in the Edible Schoolyard ProjectB.P.S.216 mainly teaches kids about careers in food industryC.Waters’ project is not well received by me us schoolsD.Waters had no difficulty in starting vegetable garden22. What can be the best title for the text?A.Students should eat healthily B.A famous school—P.S.216C.Processed foods should be advised D.A chef helps create green schoolyardsA method to transform a commonly thrown-away plastic to a resin (树脂) used in 3D printing could allow making better use of plastic waste, A team of Washington State University researchers developed a simple and efficient way to transform polyactic acid (PLA) (聚乳酸), a bio-based plastic used in products such as filament, plastic silverware and food packaging to high-quality resin.“We found a way to immediately turn this into something that’s stronger and better, and we hope that will provide people with the inspiration to upcycle this stuff instead of just throw i t away,” said Yu-Chung Chang, a postdoctoral researcher in the WSU School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering and a co-corresponding author on the work. “We made stronger materials just straight out of trash. We believe this could be a great opportunit y.”Although it’s bio-based, PLA, which is categorized as a number 7 plastic, doesn’t bread down easily. It can float in fresh or salt water for a year without degrading (降解). It is also rarely recycled because like many plastics, when it’s melted down and re-formed, it doesn’t perform as well as the original version and becomes less valuable.“It’s biodegradable and compostable, but once you look into it, it turns out that it can take up to 100 years for it to rot away in a landfill,” Chang said. “In reali ty, it still creates a lot of pollution. We want to make sure that when we do start producing PLA on the million-tons scale, we will know how to deal with it.”While the researchers focused on PLA for the study, they hope to apply the work to polyethylene terephthalate (PET) (涤纶树脂), which is more common than PLA and has a similar chemical structure and present a bigger waste problem. They have filed a temporary patent and are working further optimize (优化) the process. The researchers ane also looking into other applications for the upcycling method.23. What can the method help do according to paragraph 1?A.Solve financial crisis.B.Change waste into wealth.C.Control plastic productionD.Determine 3D printing skills24. What does Yu-Chung Chang think of the method?A.Promising B.UnrealisticC.Imaginable D.Common25. Which of the following is a feature of number 7 plastics?A.Invaluable to recycle B.Easy to deal withC.Hard to break down D.Difficult to sort out.26. What is the text mainly about?A.Applications for an upcycling method.B.A better method to break down plasticC.3D printing with newly found materialsD.A new way to turn plastic into valuable products.The problem of robocalls has gotten so bad that many people now refuse to pick up calls from numbers they don’t know. By next year, half of the calls we receive will be scams(欺诈). We are finally waking up to the severity of the problem by supporting and developing a group of tools, apps and approaches intended to prevent scammers fr om getting through. Unfortunately, it’s too little, too late. By the time these “solutions”(解决方案) become widely available, scammers will have moved onto cleverer means. In the near future, it’s not just going to be the number you see on your screen that wi ll be in doubt. Soon you will also question whether the voice you’re hearing is actually real.That’s because there are a number of powerful voice manipulation(处理) and automation technologies that are about to become widely available for anyone to use. At this year’s I/O Conference, a company showed a new voice technology able to produce such a convincing human-sounding voice that it was able to speak to a receptionist and book a reservation without detection.These developments are likely to make our current problems with robocalls much worse. The reason that robocalls are a headache has less to do with amount than precision. A decade of data breaches(数据侵入) of personal information has led to a situation where scammers can easily learn your mother’s name, and far more. Armed with this knowledge, they’re able to carry out individually targeted campaigns to cheat people. This means, for example, that a scammer could call you from what looks to be a familiar number and talk to you using a voice that sounds exactly like your bank teller’s, tricking you into “confirming” your address, mother’s name, and card number. Scammers follow money, so companies will be the worst hit. A lot of business is still done over the phone, and much of it is based on trust and existing relationships. Voice manipulation technologies may weaken that gradually.We need to deal with the insecure nature of our telecom networks. Phone carriers and consumers need to work together to find ways of determining and communicating what is real. That might mean either developing a uniform way to mark videos and images, showing when and who they were made by, or abandoning phone calls altogether and moving towards data-based communications—using apps like FaceTime or WhatsApp, which can be tied to your identity. Credibility is hard to earn but easy to lose, and the problem is only going to get harder from here on out.27. How does the author feel about the solutions to problem of robocalls?A.Panicked. B.Confused. C.Embarrassed. D.Disappointed. 28. Taking advantage of the new technologies, scammer can ________.A.aim at victims precisely B.damage databases easilyC.start campaigns rapidly D.spread information widely29. What does the passage imply?A.Honesty is the best policy.B.Technologies can be double-edged.C.There are more solutions than problems.D.Credibility holds the key to development.30. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A.Where the Problem of Robocalls Is RootedB.Who Is to Blame for the Problem of RobocallsC.Why Robocalls Are About to Get More DangerousD.How Robocalls Are Affecting the World of TechnologyThere are frequent reports on the need of volunteers in so many different charitable organizations. 31 There are actually many ways to find opportunities to help others.When a person is looking for volunteer opportunities and doesn’t care where he volunteers,a good place to look for jobs is through local volunteer centers.These centers may have lists,much like classified ads,requesting volunteers in a variety of fields.It can help to choose a volunteer position that will take advantage of work or life experience. 32 Other employers and companies may not be that picky and are willing to take on anyone who has enthusiasm for the work.Sometimes people want to become a volunteer in a specific type of work. 33 The best route may be to contact these facilities and find out what available volunteer programs they have.Some programs may require job applications and training,and this training isn’t always free.Looking around at a few programs can help people find the ones that don’t charge for training.34 Schools may additionally have volunteer job listings that can help people become a volunteer.Sometimes listings for jobs are exclusive(独有的) to the school and people may find work as tutors or administrative assistants.It isn’t always necessary to look at non-profit companies to find volunteer opportunities.Plenty of individuals and for-profit companies may benef it from volunteers’help too.A volunteer babysitter or someone who helps a neighbor with the housework can make a big difference in a community.Volunteering doesn’t have to be a full-time commitment. 35I believe I have a personal duty to make a positive impact on society. I’ve tried to _________ this goal by choosing a career in public service. As a physician dealing with the challenge of infectious diseases, I consider my job a _________, which allows me to help ease the suffering of humankind.I have three principles to _________ my life, which I always think about.Firstly, I have a strong thirst for _________, I think I will never know as much as I _________.

Reading (30’)ATeenagers at one German school are learning how to achieve happiness alongside other traditional subjects such as math and languages.The class sit in a circle with their eyes shut and they count from one to ten, someone starts,the next voice comes from the far right,a third from the other side.The aim of the game is to listen for an opportunity to shout out the number without clashing(冲突)with another voice or leaving a pause.On the first try,most of the young Germans try to be first,while a few are too shy to join in,but by the fifth time round, they develop a rhythm.The message:give other people space but also confidently claim your own.This is a requirement for social well--being.The Willy Hellpach School in Heidelberg is the first in the nation to develop a happiness course---It is intended for students preparing for university entrance exams.“The course isn‟t there to make you happy,”Ernst Fritz Sehubert.the school principal warned pupils,“but rather to help you discover the ways to become happy.”Cooking a meal together is one of the class exercises.Improving body language under theguidance of two professional actresses is another.The course is taught for three periods a week.Despite the happy subject,the pupils themselves insist it is no laughing matter.“In the fi rst period,we had to each say something positive about another member of the class and about ourselves.No laughing at people,”said Fanny,17.Research by the school shows it is not the first to start happiness classes:they also exist at some US universities,but are mainly based on positive thinking,using findings from studies of depression.“That would be too one-sided for us.We want to show how delicious food or exercise can help,too,”the principal said.26.What‟s the purpose of this passage?A.To introduce the happiness courseB. To describe all the traditional coursesC. To arouse the readers‟ interest in happinessD. To help students struggle against being sad27. The game intended for the students in the 2nd paragraph is mainly to _____________.A. give other people opportunityB. practice how to speak in front of peopleC. confidently speak out one‟s opinionsD. equip them with required social skills28. According to the passage,the happiness course is______________.A. created by the Willy Hellpach SchoolB. to make all the students happy at the timeC. required to be taken by the first year studentsD. to help students discover the way to happiness29. It can be inferred from the passage that_______________.A. the students‟ self-respect can also improve happinessB.the students just took the course as a laughing matterC.the students all certainly become happy after the courseD.the students waste time learning something without value30. What would be the best title of this passage?A. Basic things for happiness B.Having a try to be happyC. Learning how to be happy D.Laughing a lot at schoolB“When one of the doctors criticizes (批评) me, I get defensive. I feel like a child again, being scolded, and I want to explain that I‟m not wrong.” Says Viola, a nurse. This is a common reaction to criticism, but not a good one. There are better ways of dealing with criticism.When Sol was criticized by his new empl oyer for not having made a sale, Sol‟s reaction was to feel sorry for himself. “I had put everything I had into making that sale,” Sol says, “and I felt that I had failed as a person. I had to learn through experience not to react like that to each failure. Rather than reacting immediately to criticism, take some time to think over what was said. Your first question should be whether the criticism is fair from the other person‟s position. The problem may be a simple misunderstanding of what you did or your reasons for doing it.After you cool down, consider what you can do about the situation. The best answer may be “nothing”. “I finally realized that my boss was having personal problems and taking them out on me because I was there,” says Sheila. “His criticism didn‟t really have anything to do with my work, so nothing I said or did was going to change them.” In Sheila‟s case, the best way to deal with it was to leave her job. However, that‟s an extreme reaction. You may simply explain your opinion without expecting an in-depth discussion. You may even decide that the battle isn‟t worth fighting this time. The key, in any case, is to have a reasonable plan.31. When Sol was criticized by his employer, he __________.A. was sad and self-pityingB. was angry and gave up his job.C. was sorry for what he didD. argued bitterly with his employer32. According to the writer, you should take time to think about criticism because _________.A. people may have a mistaken idea of what you didB. you should welcome other people‟s opinionsC. people may discuss it with you in depthD. you need time to understand yourself33. When the writer says that “the best answer may be …nothing‟, he means you may decide __________.A. to take no notice of the criticismB. to argue with your bossC. you need to change your job.D. you‟ve done nothing wrong34. The writer thinks Sheila can decide to leave her job because her boss _______.A. didn‟t like her appearanceB. refused to change his opinionC. made an unreasonable criticismD. refused to talk to her about the criticism35. The last paragraph mainly tells us to _________.A. take time to cool down.B. react to criticism quickly.C. take action quickly.D. take positive action.CAmericans are proud of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform, whether it is the uniform (制服)of an elevator operator or the uniform of a five-star general. Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people theylook more professional than civilian clothes. People have become conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lose professional identity than to step out of uniform?Uniforms also have many practical benefits. They save on other clothes. They save on laundry bills. They are tax-deductible (可减税的). They are often more comfortable and more durable than civilian clothes.Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When people look alike, they tend to think, speak, and act similarly, on the job at least. Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. Though they are long-lasting, often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.36. It is surprising that Americans who worship variety and individuality ________.A. still judge a man by his clothesB. hold the uniform in such high regardC. enjoy having a professional identityD. will respect an elevator operator as much as a general in uniform37. People are accustomed to thinking that a man in uniform ________.A. suggests quality workB. loses his social identityC. appears to be more practicalD. looks superior to a person in civilian clothes38. The chief function of a uniform is to ________.A. provide practical benefits to the wearerB. make the wearer catch the pubic eyeC. in spire the wearer‟s confidence in himselfD. provide the wearer with a professional identity39. According to the passage, people wearing uniforms ________.A. are usually helpfulB. have little or no individual freedomC. tend to lose their individualityD. enjoy greater popularity40. The passage is mainly about _____________.A. uniforms and societyB. the importance of wearing a uniformC. practical benefits of wearing a uniformD. advantages and disadvantages of uniformsIV.

In a special school for the hearing-impaired (听觉受损的), he learned sign language and got to mix with other disabled children. However, the sight of all the disabled children communicating with one another upset his mother. She wanted him to lead a normal life. So after speaking to an advisor, she sent him to private classes where he learned to read lips and pronounce words.Later on, Adrian’s parents decided to send him to a regular school. But the headmaster tried to prevent them from doing so, saying regular schools couldn’t take care of a special-needs student. His parents were determined to take the risk and push him hard to go through his work every day because they want to prove that, given the opportunity, he could do anything. Adrian made the grade and got accepted. It was a big challenge the pace was faster so he had to sit at the front of the class and really pay attentio n to the teacher, which wasn’t always easy. But he stuck to it and did a lot of extra work after school.The effort made by Adrian and his parents paid off. Adrian graduated with good grades and got into a top high school. He also achieved a lot in life outside school. He developed a love for the outdoors and went to Nepal to climb mountains. He even entered the World Yacht Race 05/06 — being the first hearing-impaired Asian to do so.But none of these achievements would have been possible without one of the most important lessons from his mother. “If you believe in yourself and work hard, you can achieve great result,” she often said.19. Adrian’s parents decided to send him to a regular school because_______.A.they wanted to prove the headmaster wrongB.they wanted him to live a normal lifeC.he wouldn’t mix with other disabled childrenD.he wasn’t taken good care of in the special school20. How did Adrian finally succeed in his study?A.He did a lot of outdoor activities.B.He studied in a regular school.C.He worked very hard both in and after class.D.He attended private classes after school.21. Why is Adrian’s life described as an“Amazing Race”?A.He did very well in his study.B.He succeeded in entering a regular school.C.He took part in the world Yacht Race 05/06.D.He reached his goals in spite of his disability.22. Which of the following sayings can most appropriately be used to describe Adrian’s experience?A.Knowledge is power.B.Strike while the iron is hot.C.Nothing is impossible to a willing mind.D.If winter comes, can spring be far behind?Plants may tell us when they’re in trouble. Thirsty tomato and tobacco plants make clicking sounds, researchers have found. The sounds are ultrasonic (超声波的), meaning they are too high-pitched for human ears to hear. But when the sounds are transformed to lower pitches, they sound like popping bubbles (爆破的泡泡). Plants also make clicks when their stems (茎) are cut.“It’s not like the plants are screaming,” says Lilach Hadany, an evol utionary biologist working at Tel Aviv University in Israel. “Plants may not mean to make these noises. We’ve shown only that plants create informative sounds.”Hadany and her colleagues first heard the clicks when they set microphones next to plants on tables in a lab. The microphones caught some noises. But the researchers needed to make sure that the clicking was coming from the plants. So, the scientists placed plants inside soundproof boxes in the basement, far from the noise of the lab. There, microphones picked up ultrasonic pops from thirsty tomato plants. Though it was outside humans’ hearing range, the clicking made by plants was about as loud as a normal conversation.Cut tomato plants and dry or cut tobacco plants clicked, too. But plants that had enough water or hadn’t been cut stayed mostly quiet. Wheat, corn and grapevines also made sounds when stressed out.The researchers don’t yet know why plants click. Bubbles forming and then popping inside plant tissues that transport water might make the noises. But however they happen, pops from crops could help farmers, the researchers suggest. Microphones, for example, could monitor fields or greenhouses to detect when plants need to be irrigated (灌溉).Hadany wonders whether other plants and insects already tune into plant pops. Other studies have suggested that plants respond to sounds. And animals from pests (害虫), moths to mice can hear in the range of the ultrasonic clicks. Sounds made by plants could be heard from around five metersaway. Hadany’s t eam is now studying what the living things near the plants will do after hearing the sounds.23. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?A.Interpreting plant sounds isn’t easy.B.Plants sound off when they’re in trouble.C.It’s interesting to hear the sounds of plants.D.Plants make sounds in a different way from humans.24. Why did the scientists put plants inside soundproof boxes in the basement?A.To enjoy the sounds made by the plants.B.To have a better conversation with the plants.C.To find out whether the plants did make sounds.D.To keep the plant sounds within their hearing range.25. In what way can microphones be used to benefit plants?A.Weed prevention. B.Pest control.C.Temperature monitoring. D.Timely irrigation.26. What still remains unknown to Hadany’s team?A.Whether the sounds of plants can travel far.B.Whether animals can hear the sounds of plants.C.How the neighbors of plants respond to their sounds.D.How plants and animals communicate with each other.You spend a third of your life asleep, a certain part of which involves dreaming. But most often, you don’t remember any of your dreams. While the exact reason of why we can hardly recall our dreams is not fully known, scientists have gotten some insight into memory processes during sleep, leading to several ideas that may explain our forgetfulness.You are awake, but is your hippocampus (海马体) awake? When we fall asleep, not all the brain’s regions go offline at the same time. Researchers have found one of the last regions to go to sleep is the hippocampus, a structure in brain that is important for moving information from short-term memory into long-term memory.“If the hippocampus is the last to go to sleep, it could very well be the last to wake up,” said Thoma s Andrillon, a neuroscientist at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. While this might explain why dream memories are so fleeting, it doesn’t mean that your hippocampus has been inactive throughout the night. In fact, this region is quite active during sleep.Sometimes your dreams are just not memorable. Do you remember what you were thinking about this morning when brushing your teeth? Dreams, especially ordinary ones, may be just like daydreaming thoughts and believed by the brain to be too useless to remember. But dreams that are more vivid, emotional and coherent (连贯的) seem to be better remembered.If you are interested in improving your dream recall, there are a few tricks to try. One is drinking water before bed, because it will make you wake up at night to use the bathroom. These middle-of-the-night awakenings are frequently accompanied by dream recall. Repeatedly reminding yourself that you want to remember your dreams may increase your chances, and so does keeping a dream journal, some studies have suggested. Upon waking up, hang on to that fragile (脆弱的) dream memory: keep your eyes closed, stay still and replay the dream memory, until your hippocampus catches up and properly stores the memory.27. What does the underlined word “fleeting” in Par agraph 3 probably mean?A.Inactive. B.Short-lived. C.Significant. D.Slight.28. You can remember your dreams more easily when you wake up probably because ______.A.your dreams are vivid, emotional and coherentB.you are forgetful and poor in remembering thingsC.your hippocampus is active in receiving new informationD.your brain needs to start up to move dreams into long-term memory29. Which of the following CANNOT help you to recall a dream?A.Keep reminding yourself of the need to remember your dreams.B.Record what you can remember in your dreams upon awakening.C.Improve the ability of your hippocampus to catch up information.D.Think back on the things in your dreams directly after you wake up.30. What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To tell the importance of dreams.B.To present some methods to recall dreams.C.To explain our forgetfulness in dreams.D.To analyze how our brain deal with information.You can choose happiness regardless of your circumstances. You can choose to be happy no matter what challenges life brings you. 31 .Make lemonade when life gives you lemons.Besides happiness, trouble will also be part of life. 32 . If you look at something hard enough, you’ll see the positive side of it.Do what you love doing.Do you have a lifelong dream or desire? If so, 33 . Taking baby steps towards a goal will help you feel like you’re accomplishing something. You’ll find drive and determination to reach that goal when it’s something you love doing.Call a friend who you know is positive and cheerful.34 . Usually, people allow themselves to go deeper and deeper into self-depression. The truth is that you don’t have to be sad. You can decide to be happy. You just have to make up your mind to do so.Gratitude is the quickest cure for sadness.When you focus on what’s wrong with your life, you forget to look at what’s right and good. Take a step back and reflect on your life. 35 . Yes, they may not be the person we’d like them to be, but imagine life without them. Now, be thankful that you have them in your life.On a heavy rainy day, I didn’t have an umbrella. I had just _______ a bus and had to walk b ack to my house.

"Historically,Asian elephants used to live in many parts of the country.Migration is in their nature.It helps the species expand its territory and have more chances to improve its gene pool by mating with different groups," he said.The forestry department and the provincial government plan to develop a national park,which aims to provide habitat protection for the elephants and a balanced relationship with residents.29.Which of the following is True?______A. The elephants finally settled in the downtown of Kunming.B. The journey took the elephants over two years.C. The elephants' habitat is far away from Kunming.D. The elephants moved towards the south of Yunnan.30.In June,how many elephants continued their journey together?______A. 13.B. 14.C. 15.D. 16.31.What can we infer from the engineer's words?______A.

Elephants return from the journey.CAlthough the weather is very hot now,the carnival of ice and snow is getting closer.The preparation work for Beijing Winter Olympic Games,which are expected to begin on Feb 4,2022,has entered its final stage.In January,2021,the ice-making work on the Ice Ribbon,a landmark venue for the Beijing Winter Olympics,was completed.In the Winter Olympics,where races can be won or lost by a small-time gap,tiny imperfections in the ice can make a big difference. "It's not just a hunk of ice like you'd normally think of,like ice cubes sitting in your freezer," told Kenneth Golden,a US mathematician who studies the structures of ice. "It's a much more fascinating and complex substance than people would normally think."The first step for building any ice rink is to purify the water to remove dissolved solids like salts and minerals.Such impurities don't fit in the regular hexagonal(六边形的)structure of ice that forms as water freezes.The purer the water is,the more consistent the ice surface.In addition to the need for excellence in the raw materials of ice-making,technology is also very important.As one of the most advanced technologies for winter sports venues,a carbon dioxide (CO2)cooling technology has been applied on a large scale for the Beijing Winter Olympic Games.CO2 is not new when it comes to ice-making.However,it has been gradually replaced by the man-made refrigerant(制冷剂)like Freon.With increasing attention toward climate change,the old refrigerant has come into use again.As an element of the atmosphere,CO2 doesn't damage the ozone layer.Although CO2 is a greenhouse gas,its greenhouse effect is much lower than that of other man-maderefrigerants.The Winter Olympics venues adopted CO2 instead of Freon as a refrigerant in ice-making,which will reduce carbon dioxide emissions greatly."We believe these technological innovations will bring Beijing 2022 to spectators all over the world in a more impressive way," told Gao Bo from the Media Operations Department of the Organizing Committee of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games.33.What is the result of impurities in water for ice-making?______A. The water isn't able to freeze completely.B. The quality of the ice will be affected.C. The ice surface will be more consistent.D. It's likely for athletes to fall on the ice.34.Why has CO2 cooling technology been applied for the Winter Olympic Games?______A. It's the most advanced technologies for ice-making.B. CO2 is more efficient than other refrigerants.C. CO2 is more environmentally-friendly than Freon.D. CO2 has already existed in the atmosphere.35.What is Gao's attitude to CO2 being applied to ice-making?______A. Unclear.B. Opposed.C. Doubtful.D. Favourable.36.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?______A. The Beijing Winter Olympic Games Is Coming.B. Beneath Olympic Ice.C. The Use of Refrigerants in Olympic Games.D. The Structure of Ice.四、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题,共12.5分)A study session with friends can be an excellent way to learn.If you make it a regular event (e.g.weekly),a study session can help you to fully understand difficult material,prepare for exams,and finally earn strong grades.By making careful choices when you are forming the group,you can be sure your study session with friends will be successful.• Teach one another.One of the most effective(有效的)ways to learn is actually to teach other people.

Together with her husband site runs Humble by Nature, a rural skills education centre on working farm near Monmouth intheWyeValley.Winnie the Poohby A A MilneMy father used to read this to me when I was very young — he used different voices for all the animals. The characterization (角色设定) was so clever; we all know someone just like each inhabitant of the HundredAcre Wood: gloomy Eeyore; thick but loyal Pooh; enthusiastic Tigger.A A Milne was masterful in exploring the way they got along together, opening my eyes to how society really works.Last Chance to Seeby Douglas Adams and Mark CarwardineThis book tells of the authors, adventures as they set out to find the rarest of animals, those on the edge of extinction.Their travels are rather exciting and they share a wonderful humour, which really appealed to me. Yet underpinning (支撑) everything is the realization that we can't just sit back and allow species to disappear. PicturePalaceby Paul TherouxI've always loved Theroux's travel writing, but this novel took my breath away. The words aren't long or complicated but, fromthat first paragraph, his writing grabs you by the nose hairs and drags you along. I had an art teacher who told me, “You're only an artist when you've found your own style, not when you're copying someone else, and Theroux represents this.”1. Why did the author mention the characterization ofWinnie the Pooh?A. To indicate the book has realistic values.B. To show how adorable the characters are.C. To persuade people to learn from the characters.D. To prove the writer is good at creating characters.2. What didLast Chance to Seestrike into Kate's heart?A. Curiosity.B. Responsibility.C. Exploration.D. Devotion.3. Which writer does Kate Humble like for his original writing?A. A A Milne.B. Douglas Adams.C. Mark Carwardine.D. Paul Theroux.BIn the natural habitat, a binge-watcher is a strange sub-species of modern human beings. They are alone and are often found lying on their bed or sofa, still as a rock, looking searchingly into their laptop or at the TV. They rarely get up, only taking occasional breaks for those urgent calls of nature. Unlike so many others of their species, they don’t sleep at the end of every day. They stay up late and are often found to have red eyes.This, of course, is a little bit exaggerated, but for many of us, binge-watching a show is how we consume our entertainment. With streaming services bringing seemingly endless content to the tips of our finger, creatorstailortheir shows to our needs and tastes, while their marketing team sells it to us as the next most bingeable show. I can’t help but wonder if this way of consuming television does us any good.We’re advised to get 7 to 8 hours of sleep per day, but staying up all night to finish shows like ‘Breaking Bad’ and ‘The Fall’, which Netflix says are binged the fastest, won’t result in 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep. Netflix’s CEO Richard Hastings told analysts at a conference, “Think about it… when you watch a show from Netflix and you get addicted to it, you stay up late at night. We’re competing with sleep.” And it isn’t only the amount of sleep we get; the quality matters too! A study published in the Journal for Clinical Sleep Medicine reported that those who binged television more often were found to have poorer sleep quality. The mental arousal we get from watching TV doesn’t lend itself to peaceful sleep.Besides, binging TV can cause weight gain. For every extra hour of TV watched, there was a 2% increase in the prevalence of obesity, according to a study conducted by Harvard that linked TV watching to obesity in children and adolescents.While it is true that there’s growing evidence that binging isn’t good for us, the results aren’t all hopeless.Binging, occasionally, might have some benefits. For many people, binging is a good way to socialize. It gives people something to talk about at parties and with their friends. Fans of popular shows often hold viewing parties where people can binge-watch shows together and then discuss what they just experienced! This interaction can create a sense of community for many.For others, binging might just be relaxing. After a long day, a few hours of Friends—still one of the most popular shows on any streaming platform—can ease the stress of a long day. A study followed 240 people through their binging and recorded their stress hormones. They noted for some people that their stress hormone levels decreased during their binging experience.With binging, there is not a “good” or “bad” answer. Like many things, the key is moderation. Watching TV can be relaxing, but only if it doesn’t stop you from exercising, taking care of your health, and fulfilling your social responsibilities.4. What does the underlined word “tailor” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Study.B. Sell.C. Adjust.D. Promote.5. What can we learn from the passage?A. The amount of sleep matters more than the quality.B. There’s no real harm in binge-watching a TV series.C. Binging may help keep stress hormone levels stable.D. Binge-watching may help increase social connections.6. What is the author’s attitude towards binge-watching?A. Supportive.B. Unconcerned.C. ObjectiveD. Doubtful.7. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Who Is to Blame for Binge-Watching?B. Is Binge-Watching Good or Bad for You?C. Is Binge-Watching Getting out of Control?D. HowDoes Binge-Watching Affect Your Life?CCuckoos don’t bother building their own nests—they just lay eggs that perfectly imitate those of other birds and take over their nests. But other birds are wishing up, evolving some seriously impressive tricks to spot thecuckoo eggs.Cuckoos are often know asparasites, meaning that they hide their eggs in the nest of other species. To avoid detection, the cuckoos have evolved so that eggs seem reproduction of those of their preferred targets. If the host bird doesn’t notice the strange egg in its nest, the little cuckoo will actually take the entire nest for itself after it comes out, taking the other eggs on its back and dropping them out of the nest.To avoid this unpleasant fate for their young, the other birds have evolved a few smart ways to spot the fakes, which we’re only now beginning to fully understand. One of the most amazing finds is that birds have an extra colour-sensitive cell in their eyes, which makes them far more sensitive to ultraviolet wavelengths and allows them to see a far greater range of colours than humans can. This allows cautious birds to detect a fake egg which might be exactly the same to our eyes.Fascinatingly, we’re actually able to observe different bird species at very different points in their evolutionary war with the cuckoos. For instance, some cuckoos lay their eggs in the nests of the redstarts. The blue eggs these cuckoos lay are practically alike to those of the redstarts, and yet they are still sometimes rejected. Compare that with cuckoos who target dunnocks. While those birds lay perfectly blue eggs, their cuckoo invaders just lay white eggs with brown irregular shaped spots. And yet dunnocks barely ever seem to notice the obvious trick.Biologists suspect these more easily fooled species like the dunnocks are on the same evolutionary path as the redstarts, but they have a long way to go until they evolve the same levels of suspicion. What’s remarkable is that the dunnocks fakes are so bad and the redstart ones so good, and yet cuckoos are still more successful with the former than the latter.It speaks to just how thoroughly a species’ behavior can be changed by the pressures of natural selection, or it might just be a bit of strategic cooperation on the part of the dunnocks. Biologists have suggested that these birds are willing to tolerate a parasite every so often because they don’t want to risk accidentally getting rid of one of their own eggs.8. This passage can be most likely found in a ________.A. science surveyB. nature magazineC. zoo advertisementD. travel journal9. What does the underlined word “parasite” in paragraph 2 most probably refer to?A. Animals that work together to raise young.B Small harmful animals such as worms or mice.C. Animals that can adapt to changing environments.D. Animals which live on or inside other host animals.10. Which of the following is TRUE about the dunnock according to the passage?A. It is colour-blind and therefore cannot identify foreign eggs in the nest.B. It can easily remove cuckoo eggs from the nest because fakes are so bad.C. It is a host bird that is more likely to raise a cuckoo chick than the redstart.D. It is unable to evolve and hence accepts cuckoo eggs that appear in the nest.11. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A. Dunnocks may eventually learn to recognise foreign eggs.B. Redstarts seem to be less suspicious compared to dunnocks.C. Cuckoo birds are good at taking responsibility for their own young.D. It is very easy for cuckoos to imitate the colouring of the dunnock’s egg.DWith graduation days being celebrated all over the country, a student who has to use a wheelchair honored his mother on his graduation day in a special way. Easley High School graduate, Alex Mays surprised people present when he got up and walked across the stage at Clemson's Littlejohn Coliseum.“I was really happy—it made me feel good,” Alex said.Alex was not given a chance to live right from his birth. He was born at 25 weeks and weighed just 1 pound, 10 ounces at birth. When he was very young, he had a disease and lost the ability to walk. After his mother's death in 2013, Alex had several other difficult life changes until he came to live with his grandparents, Dousay and her husband, Dewayne. Dousay said that when Alex came to live with them, they decided to bring him up in the best possible way they could.Last fall, Alex said that he would walk across the stage to get his diploma to honor his late mother. He practiced hard and worked with a physical therapist for 9 months to complete his plan.The only help Alex got was from his mom's best friend, Tonya Johnson, who pushed his wheelchair to the stage wearing one of his mother's favorite shirts. “I had support from my family. I couldn't have done it without them,” Alex said.“Alex made everyone in the building feel encouraged that day” Pickens County School District public information specialist John Eby said. “The school teachers knew he was going to get up to get his diploma, but the distance he walked was a surprise, even to them,” Eby said.“Some of life's most important tests aren’t given in a classroom; Alex tested himself and passed with flying color1 s,” Eby added.12. In what way did Alex honor his late mother on his graduation day?A. By dressing like her.B. By saying sorry to her.C. By inviting her best friend.D. By walking to get his diploma.13. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?A. Alex was born healthy.B. Alex went through a lot.C. Alex had a purpose in life as a child.D. Alex has lived with his grandparents all the time.14. What did Alex also express on his graduation day?A. His big regret in life.B. His feelings for hisschool.C. His thanks for his family.D. His will to complete his study.15.

But if you take the time to actually examine your anger instead of just “feeling” angry, you’ll have a better understanding of yourself. Knowing why you feel so angry can provide you with some surprising answers. These answers can enable you to suddenly grow spiritually and mentally.I can give you a personal example. I went to a meeting once and I was verbally attacked over an application I supported at my workplace. Various people went on and on about how terrible this system was and that it never worked. That didn’t bother me that much. I was used to that but one of the comments that was said was, “Your job is pointless.” This really upset meand at the time, I was ly furious(发怒地) with that comment.I was so angry and upset that they would treat me that way. Once I took the time to think about what was really making me so mad. I learned a lot. I realized that the comment was more truethan I wanted to admit. In the big scheme of things, my job was pointless. It wasn’t what I really wanted to be doing with my life and this was what frustrated me the most. Here I was pouring part of my heart and soul into a job I didn’t even really want to do. I was using it as a crutch(拐杖) because I didn’t have the confidence in myself to take the scary road towards what I really wanted to do. As soon as I realized that, a lot of my anger just melted away. I also realized that I needed to start focusing on what I really wanted to do.I now consider this incident as a great gift It got me back on track to moving in the direction I wanted to go with my life. I probably wouldn’t be where I am today if I hadn’t taken the time to figure out why I was really so angry.4. What made the author angry at the meeting?A. The system of the company was terrible.B. Someone said his job is insignificant.C. The policy of the company didn’t work.D. The application he supported was of no effect.5. What brought down the anger of the author?A.

It provided him with confidence in his career.7. What can be the best title of the passage?A. How to Cope with Verbal Attack in a CompanyB. Avoid Being Pointless at WorkC.

With the help of the Earthchild Project, which is offered in schools in two townships, students make worm(蠕虫) farms. The worms break down food waste and make the soil richer. Kids grow seedlings(幼苗) in containers and learn about the importance of good nutrition.The school program also offers yoga(瑜伽). Teachers find that the exercises help students focus better. The students enjoy Earthchild activities. “The children gets so excited”, says teacher Vuyelwa Rola.“The society we are in has a lot of noise. When students are taking part in the Earthchild Project, they feel calm.”Director Janna Kretzmar came up with the idea for the project in 2005. She read about schools inIndiathat involved kids in yoga and learning outside the classroom. She developed the Earthchild Project to offer similar activities inCape Townschools.“We hope the Earthchild Project can help students find solutions to all the challenges they are facing in the world today,” Kretzmar said. “The best place to create change is with the youth, through education.”The Earthchild Project combines schoolwork with hiking, gardening, healthy living, and yoga. “We need more than just math and science to become happy, healthy, inspired, and active citizens of our communities,” says Kretzmar. In some communities inCape Town, children live in poverty. They must walk long distances to get clean drinking water. Life is hard. But according to the Earthchild Project’s Carly Appleby, the project works to give hope to every child. “Students who have hope,” she says, “aim for bigger goals”.12.

第一部分阅读(共两节,满分五十分)第一节阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项(共15小题,每题2.5分,满分37.5分)AThe National Beekeeping Centre Wales is a free attraction in the countryside that teaches children about the importance of honeybees – with the chance to try lots of local honeys.This friendly visitor centre is a supporter of Welsh honeybees, which are increasingly under threat from climate change and loss of wildflower meadows. It raises visitors’ awareness of environmental issues and shows the 4,000-year history of beekeeping and honey-making, from the ancient Egyptians to the Romans. A Hive (蜂巢) Aid scheme lets you adopt a beehive, and regular courses (from £60 per pe rson) train new generations of beekeepers.Fun factBees pollinate (授粉) about a third of everything we eat and play an important role in sustaining our ecosystems. In economic terms, honeybee pollination could be worth up to £200m to the UK alone.What about lunch?Next door is the Furnace Tearoom, part of the Bodnant Welsh Food Centre, which serves light bites – wraps (卷饼), fruit salads (£7) and coffee. And the nearby Pavilion Restaurant at the National Trust’s Bodnant Garden has cooked food, including bak ed potatoes (£5) and daily specials such as local casseroles (焙盘) with bread rolls (£6), plus coffee and cakes.Exit through the gift shopThere is a range of bee-themed gifts in our gift shop, including bee toys (£2), wooden honey candy (£2) and a selection of honeys all made by Welsh producers (£5). The bestselling Bodnant honey (£8) goes fast.Getting hereWe are located just off the A470 on the Bodnant Estate in the Conwy Valley, and 10 minutes from the A55 north Wales coast road. Follow the brown signs just after Bodnant Gardens.Value for moneyVisits and activities for kids are free, though donations are welcome. Taster days (from £60) and the weekend beekeeping course (£80 per person) are held at Abergwyngregyn village, 10 miles west down the A55.Opening hoursThe Visitor Centre opens daily from 10 am-4 pm but it is volunteer-run, so phone ahead to check. Expect lots of fun activities around the annual Conwy Honey Fair.1. What do we know about the National Beekeeping Centre Wales?A. It makes money mainly by selling local honeys.B. It invites visitors to adopt a beehive for free.C. It’s an educational center about beekeeping.D. It shows visitors Wales’ long beekeeping history.2. You can buy _______ at the Furnace Tearoom.A. bread rollsB. fruit saladsC. baked potatoesD. local casseroles3. How much would you have to pay for the weekend course and two bee toys?A. £ 64B. £ 76C. £ 84D. £ 96BOne Utah mom is facing charges after she left her 8-year- old son with special needs at Jordan Valley Medical Center, claiming she was tired of his calling her names and pulling his pants down in public.Sherrer, 36, who has three other kids (also with special needs), said she was making use of Utah's Safe Haven law: parents can drop off a baby up to three days anonymously(匿名地) at a hospital with no questions asked or consequences."I thought that it was okay that we could drop them off and it was a safe place," Sherrer said, according to KSL News. "I don't think I'm necessarily a bad mother.I got more like overwhelmed (不知所措的). I wasn't sure about the Safe Haven laws or what it meant... I really did not know any other way to go about it."According to the police statement, her son walked up to the reception of the hospital building with a note from his mother which read, "This kid is rude and ungovernable! I do not want him in my house at all!” Hospital authorities called police and the boy was then taken into a protective organization."You are forbidden to drop children off at certain places," said Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill. "You can contact related organizations, which share your burden, there's an understanding. Everybody understands what everyone's role is. But you don't simply say, "I've had enough and I'm going to drop off this child and no one knows who I am"Sherrer was charged with child abandonment, a third-degree felony (罪行),and child abuse, and her son is still being cared for by social services.4.From the passage, we can know that the 8-year-old boy___________A. is too naughty to be taken good care ofB. needs some special careC. has two brothers with special careD. hates his mother so much.5.What does the underlined word “ungovernable” mean in paragraph 4?A. Unforgettable.B. Unbelievable.C. Uncontrolled.D. Understandable.6.What conclusion can we draw from Sim Gill's remarks towards the case?A. When you drop off your kids, you should write your name on a note.B. Hospitals are good places to drop children.C. You can never say "I have enough".D. What the mother has done is too terrible.7. What kind of passage does this passage belong to?A. News.B. Novel.C. Poem.D. Play.CThe World Health Organization recently said that it planned to add gaming disorder to its new list of disease classifications, angering the gaming industry but pleasing doctors who hope it may make treatment more easily available.Some US experts said it would make little difference when it comes to helping people with the disorder, although others said it would bring attention to a disorder that people sometimes don’t recognize.Many of us enjoy video games, but does playing our favorite game for a couple of hours every night mean we’re suffering from gaming disorder? Not according to the WHO.The symptoms listed by the WHO include a lack of control over gaming, treating gaming more seriously than other life interests and daily activities, and continuing to play games despite the negative consequences that playing them might have.“The behavior pattern is enough to result in significant damage to one’s personal, family, or social life, the WHO said.Meanwhile, Douglas Gentile of Iowa State University has carried out influential research into the cause of gaming addiction in young people.“I and many others had assumed that gaming is not really a problem but is a symptom of other problems,” he told NBC News. Many had thought it was simply a failure of self-control.To see if it was, Gentile’s team studied a group of children who had been gaming for several years.“We found that when kids became addicted, their anxiety increased …and their grades decreased,” Gentile said.When kids were able to back off from gaming, their symptoms disappeared, he added.Gentile thinks medical organizations should pay attention to the WHO’s proposal.“This isn’t an issue of opinion; it’s an issue of science,” he said.“This is a major scientific and medical organization. They don’t do things lightly and without reason.”Dr Petros Levounis, chair of psychiatry (精神病学) at the New Jersey Medical School at Rutgers University, said that he hoped the WHO’ s proposal would lead to more research into obsessive behavior among all types of people.“Now, there is renewed interest and excitement,” he said.8. Which of the following is a sign of gaming disorder according to the WHO?A. Putting games before everything else.B. Playing games for several hours every night.C. Having no hobbies but playing games.D. Keeping playing until winning the games.9. Why is Gentile’s research mentioned?A. To explain the cause of gaming addiction.B. To show the impact of gaming disorder.C. To show the reasons behind the WHO’s decision.D. To introduce the study that influenced the WHO’s proposal.10. What did Levounis think of the WHO’s decision?A. It needed further research to make it more convincing.B. It would do little to help people with gaming addiction.C. It would encourage new cures for gaming disorder.D. It would encourage studies about diseases similar to gaming disorder.11. What’s the article mainly about?A. The WHO defining gaming disorder.B. New research findings about gaming disorder.C. The benefits of defining gaming as a disease.D. The discussions about defining gaming disorder as a disease.DPeople feel good about recycling, maybe even more so when it comes to electronics. While electronics recycling isn't bad, making it a panacea(万能药) for the e-waste problem we currently have certainly is. Unfortunately, that's how we think of recycling — and companies to jump on that trend to appear more “green”.A case in point: Apple. In 2016, there was lots of report on Liam, a robot able to dismantle(拆卸) an iPhone in just 11 seconds — a good way to recycle 1.2 million units a year. That sounds amazing until you take into account the fact that Apple had actually sold 231 million new iPhones the year before. Liam, actually, is the perfect symbol for recycling in the field of high-tech: a drop of green water in an ocean of pollution.According to a recent UN report, the US produces about 6.3 million tons or 14% of the world's electronic waste. Worldwide, almost 45 million tons of electronic waste were produced in 2016. Among them, only 20% had been recycled in some shape or form. The remaining 80% made its way to a more environmentally damaging end at the landfill(垃圾填埋场).Of course, we can say it's time to double our recycling efforts. However, the huge amount of e-waste is impossible to cope with. The UN report points out that while there is an increased focus on recycling today compared to the past, the effort to reuse used devices simply can't keep pace with the high consumption rates for new devices.In their environmental responsibility report, Apple admits that 77% of the carbon footprint of their electronics comes from their manufacture, versus(相对于) 17% comes from its actual use. The environmental effect of replacing a device, even if it is recycled after, remains significant.12.Which of the following can best describe Liam?A.It's useful but can't make a big difference.B.It's energy-saving but too expensive.C.It's well-made but won't become popular.D.It's advanced but impractical.13.What caused the e-waste recycling problem?A.Few high-tech companies.B.Not enough recycling efforts.C.High demand for new electronics.D.Difficult recycling processes.14.What does the author think of the electronics recycling?A.It is very effective.B.It is quite good.C.It is environmentally damaging.D.It is far from “green” recycling.15.What can be the best title for the text?A.A Recent UN Report on E-Waste ProblemB.The Limitation of Electronics RecyclingC.A Good Way to Cope With E-WasteD.The Responsibility for Apple to Decrease E-Waste第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5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。
