AEach year on February 2nd, there is a special festival called Groundhog Day (土拨鼠日)' forecasting event in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. When it comes, people from around the world, including 5,000 in the small town today, watch this tongue-twisting(发音饶舌的) small town for a sign from one groundhog that supposedly predicts when that years' spring will arrive.If it's a cloudy day outside when the groundhog pops from its cave, then spring will arrive early that year. However, if it is sunny outside, the groundhog will supposedly be scared by its own shadow, hiding underground for six more weeks of cold weather.Of course, Punxsutawney Phil's prediction is no more able to guarantee the extended forecast than your local weatherman. ABC News reports that an analysis by the National Climate Data Center found that Phil's predictions are more often wrong than right.Philis is also found to have made some unpleasant predictions. Ever since 1887, he has predicted 99 extended winters and just 16 early springs .Nine of the years' predictions were unavailable, according to ABC.The holiday began as a German tradition in 18th century and became even more of a cultural phenomenon after the 1993 film Groundhog Day starring Bill Murray.Punxsutawney Phil has become a celebrity in his own right. Each year, the fatter animal with long teeth is watched by millions as he emerges from a cave in the town he is named after. Phil has become so beloved by the town that he actually lives in the local libra ry with his “wife" Phyllis.Taking inspiration from the hard state of Bill Murray’s character in the classic film, Yahoo contributor Owen Rust says Groundhog Day is a good time to reflect on one’s routines.21. The underlined word “pops” means “ ________ ”.A. escapesB. appearsC. increasesD. hides22. The reason why Phil's predictions aren't pleasing is that_____________.A. some of the predictions were unavailable B . Phil wants to do that for funC. Phil likes to make unpleasant predictionsD. he has predicted more late springs23. How does Punxsutawney Phil become a celebration?A. By an accident.B. From people's life improving.C. By his own attractive forceD. From much money raised by the town.24. Which does this passage mainly talk about?A. The National Climate Data CenterB. A German traditionC. A tongue-twisting small townD. Groundhog Day weather forecastingBMosquitoes have an extraordinary ability to target humans far away and fly straight to their unprotected skin. Regrettably，mosquitoes can do more than cause an itchy(发痒的）wound. Some mosquitoes spread several serious diseases，including Dengue，yellow fever and malaria.Over one million people worldwide die from these diseases each year. New research now shows how mosquitoes choose who to bite.Mosquitoes need blood to survive. They are attracted to human skin and breath. They smell the carbon dioxide gas，which all mammals breathe out. This gas is the main way for mosquitoes to know that a warm-blooded creature is nearby.But mosquitoes also use their eyes and sense of touch. Michael Dickinson is a professor at the California Institute of Technology. His research shows how these small insects，with even smaller brains，use three senses to find a blood meal.Michael Dickinson’s team used plumes—a material that rises into the air of carbon dioxide gas into a wind tunnel. They then used cameras to record the mosquitoes. The insects followed the plume.Then，the scientists placed dark objects on the lighter colored floor and walls of the tunnel. Mr. Dickinson said，at first，the mosquitoes showed no interest in the objects at all. “What was quite striking and quite surprising is that the mosquitoes fly back and forth for hours. These are hungry females and they completely ignore the objects on the floor and wall of the tunnel. But the moment they get a hit of CO2，they change their behavior quite obviously and now would become attracted to these little visual blobs (斑点）.”This s uggested to the researchers that a mosquito’s sense of smell is more important in the search for food. Once mosquitoes catch a smell of a human or animal，they also follow visual signals.25.What do mosquitoes mainly use to find their targets?A．Sense of smell. B．Sense of touch. C．Sense of sight. D．Smart brains.26.The first response of the mosquitoes to the objects in the experiment is .A．to fly to the dark ones B．to catch and stick to themC．to take no notice of them D．to attach themselves to them27.How can we avoid being attacked by mosquitoes according to the text ?A．Don’t let them see us. B．Use dark objects to stop them.C．Make them fly back and forth for hours.D．Attract them to objects full of carbon dioxide gas.28.What can be the best title for the text?A．How Do Mosquitoes Survive? B．Why Do Mosquitoes Need Blood?C．How Do Mosquitoes Choose to Bite You?D．Why Do Mosquitoes Attack the Human Being?CIt may not be as easy as you think to build a foundation for your child of family values. Often we believe that our child will pick up on our values if they live in the same home. While they may pick up many of our values, parents need to remember they are not the only influence in their child’s life. These outside values often compete with family values for your child’s attention. If we do not make a conscious effort to instill our values into our children, they may not get instilled at all.I wish I had learned that lesson a little earlier. I thought if I lived my values for my children they would pick them up and make their own. Sometimes this happened and sometimes it didn’t. I often see twenty-something “kids” who have no faith in many of the values of their family in favor of the values of their friends. Children will often pick up the negative you show quicker than the positive, so the positive things need extra focus to set them.Some of the influences your children face every day include their church, their school, their friends, any clubs or sporting groups they are part of and more. Kids spend many hours a day at school and with their friends. Sometimes in the business of life, we suppose our children will obtain that foundation we want for them.Instilling a foundation of family values to sustain(维持) your child requires more than living it in front of them. That is important, but building up your child with this important foundation must become intentional.That means we plan times to gather as a family. We plan activities together that show the values we want to pass on. We talk about our values; we live our values; we discuss the values of others and how they differ from ours; we constantly look for opportunities and make our own opportunities to share these values in word or deed with our children.Family values give our children a foundation to build upon. It helps them know they are loved and gives them a sense of belongings. Upon this sure foundation, they can spread their wings and grow to become parents who share these same values with their own children.29. The underl ined word “instill our values into” in the 1st paragraph probably means “______”.A. get our ideas out ofB. impress our ideas onC. collect our ideas forD. force our ideas upon30. We can learn from the passage that children ______.A. sustain their family values easilyB. will hold their family values with ageC. often discuss family values of othersD. accept negative values more quickly31. Family values can be passed on if ______.A. we live with our childrenB. parents show positive thingsC. parents foster them intentionallyD. we plan times to gather with other families32. The passage mainly tells us about ______.A. the importance and the way to pick up family valuesB. a lesson the writer learned in educating his(her) kidsC. the influences the children face while growing upD. some negative and positive family valuesDThere’s a “culture of walking and texting” on the Utah Valley University campus, according to conversations with st udents, but that’s not the main reason Matt Bambrough, the creative directorat UVU, came up with an idea to paint a “texting lane” on a staircase leading up to the Wellness Center.According to Bambrough, it’s first and foremost a design project—the texting lane was a tongue-in-cheek（戏谑）reference to the college-wide epidemic（流行）of kids walking around with their faces buried in their iPhones.“You have 18–24-year-olds walking down the hall with smart phones. Y ou’re almost bound to run into someone somewhere; it’s something we’re dealing with in this day and age,” Bambrough said. “But preventing collisions isn’t the reason we did it—we did it to arouse the students’ attention. It’s meant to be there for people to look at and enjoy.”Still, when talking to Utah Valley students, it sounds like texting and walking can be quite the annoyance.Robbie Poffenberger, an assistant news editor at the UVU Review, said that most collisions he witnesses aren’t human-on-human; rather, it’s generally human-on-inanimate-objec t. “They walk into barriers—chairs on the side of the hallway, or railings,” Poffenberger said, “I’m sure they’re fairly embarrassed.”33. What do we learn about the “texting lane” from the text?A. It is a special campus culture in Utah Valley University.B. It is used to encourage the campus culture.C. It is painted on a staircase leading to everywhere.D. It is popular with students in universities.34. According to Bambrough, ______.A. the “texting lane”is to attract students’ attentionB. we don’t h ave to face the problem in this ageC. what they did is to prevent the collisionsD. students enjoy looking at each other35. What would most students run into from what Robbie said?A. Students in the same direction.B. Teachers opposite to them.C. Barriers on campus.D. Grass on campus.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
