上海中学2019-2020学年高三英语周练II. Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections: A fter reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.(A)We know the famous ones-the Thomas Edisons and the Alexand er Graham Bells-but what about the__26__________( famous) inventors? What about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper ? Shouldn't we know who they are?Joan McLean thinks so. In fact, McLean, a professor of physics at Mountain University in Range, feels so strongly about this matter _27_________ she's devel oped a course on the topic. In addition to l earning "who"invented "what", however, McLean also likes her stud ents to learn the answers to the "why" and "how" questions. According to McLean, When stud ents learn the answers to these questions, they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give _28______________ a try.So, just what is the story behind the windshield wiper? Well, Mary Anderson came up with the id ea in 1902 after a visit to New York City. The day was col d and stormy, but And erson still wanted to see the sights,so she jumped aboard a streetcar. Noticing that the driver was struggling to see _29___________ the snow covering the windshield, she found herself _30__________ why there couldn't be a builtin device for cleaning the wind ow. Still wondering about this when she returned home to Birmingham, Alabama, Anderson started drafting out solutions. One of her ideas, a lever (操作杆) on the inside of a vehicl e that would control 31__________ arm on the outside,became the first windshield wiper.Today we benefit from countless inventions and innovations. It's hard to imagine driving without Garrett A. Morgan's traffic light. It's equally impossible to picture a worl d without Katherine J. Bl odgett's innovation that makes glass invisible. _32_____________ you picture life without clear wind ows and eyeglasses?(B)There are a few things in life more irritating: you are mid conversation with a friend, and sudd enly she bursts out laughing,33_________(make) you think you’ve mad e a brilliant joke. But then she says, “Sorry, I wasn’t laughing at you. I just saw something real ly fun on a micro blog.” Now the whol e worl d is beginning to lose patience with this phenomenon known as phubbing: snubbing others in a social setting __34___________checking your phone.In fact, phubbing is just one symptom of our increasing depend ence on mobile phones and the Internet which is replacing normal social interaction. According to a recent poll carried out by a Sunday newspaper in Britain, a third of Britons__35_______(survey) admitted to being phubbers and more than a quarter said they would answer their phones in the middle of a face to face conversation.36_____________pointing or picking your nose, phubbing is also widely considered rud e behavior in public places. Lately , a Stop Phubbing campaign group has started in Australia and at least five __37___________have sprung up in its wake __38___________anger and discontent at the lack of manners grow.The campaign’s creator , Alex Haigh,23, from Melbourne, said :“A group of friends and I __39__________(chat) the other day when someone raised ho annoying being ignored by peopl e on mobil es was.” He has created a website __40_________companies can d ownload posters to discourage phubbing and even placards for weddings.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Recently the Department of Planning of New York _41________ a report which laid bare a full scal e of the city. In 1970, 18 percent of the city's population was foreign-born. By 1995, the figure had 42______ to 33 percent, and another 20 percent were the US-born offspring of immigrants. So immigrants and their children now form. a (n)_43_____ of the city's population.Who are these New Yorkers? Why d o they come here? Where are they from? OK, time to drop the "they". I'm one of the them. The last question at least is easy to answer: we come from everywhere. In the list of the top 20 44________ nations of those sending immigrants to New York between 1990 and 1994 are six countries in Asia, five in the Caribbean, four' in Latin America, three in Europe, plus Israel and former Soviet Union. And when we immigrants got here we 45_______up our sleeves. “If you are not ready to work when you get to New York,” says a friend of mine , “you’d better hit the road.”The mayor of New York once said, "Immigration has__46_________ the unique characterand drive the economic engine of New York City." He believes that immigrants are at the heart of what makes Now York great. In Europe, by contrast, it is much more common to hear politicians worry about the loss of "_47________" that immigration brings to their societies. In the quarter century' since 1970, the United States__48_______ about 12.5 million legal immigrants, and has absorbed them into its social structures with an ease beyond the imagination of other nations. Since these immigrants are__49___________l and hard-working, they will help America to make a(n) _50_______ start in the next century.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the foll owing passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Everyone in business has been told that success is all about attracting and retaining (留住) customers. It sounds simple and achievable. But, __51__, words of wisdom are soon forgotten. Once companies have attracted customers they often __52__ the second half of the story. In the excitement of beating off the competition, negotiating prices, securing orders, and delivering the product, managers tend to become carried away. They forget what they regard as the boring side of business -- __53__ that the customer remains a customer.__54__ to concentrate on retaining as well as attracting customers costs business huge amounts of money annually. It has been estimated that the average company loses between 10 and 30 per cent of its customers every year. In constantly changing __55__, this is not surprising. What is surprising is the fact that few companies have any idea how many customers they have lost.Only now are organizations beginning to wake up to those lost opportunities and calculate the __56__ implications. Cutting down the number of customers a company loses can make a big __57__ in its performance. Research in the US found that a five per cent decrease in the number of defecting (流失的) customers led to __58__ increases of between 25 and 85 per cent.In the US, D omino’s Pizza estimates that a regular customer is worth more than $5,000 over ten years. A customer who receives a poor quality product or service on their first visit and __59__ never returns, is losing the company thousands of dollars in __60__ profits (more if you consider how many people they are likely to tell about their bad experience).The logic behind cultivating customer __61__ is impossible to deny. “In practice most companies’ marketing effort is focused on getting customers, with little a ttention paid to __62__ them”, says Adrian Payne of Cornfield University’ School of Management. “Research suggests that there is a close relationship between retaining customers and making profits.__63__ customers tend to buy more, are predictable and usually cost less to service than new customers. Furthermore, they tend to be less price __64__, and may provide free word-of-mouth advertising. Retaining customers also makes it __65__ for competitors to enter a market or increase their share of a market.51..A. in particular B. in reality C. at least D. first of all52.

A. unfair B. difficult C. essential D. convenientSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C,D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)If you are a male and you are reading this, congratulations: you are a survivor. According to statistics, you are more than twice as likely to die of skin cancer than a woman, and nine times more likely to die of AIDS. Assuming you make it to the end of your natural term, about 78 years for men in Australia, you will die on average five years before a woman.There are many reasons for this, men take more risks than women and are more likely to drink and smoke, but perhaps more importantly, men d on't go to the doctor."Men aren't seeing d octors as often as they should," says Dr. Gullotta, "This is particularly so for the over-40s, when diseases tend to strike."Gullotta says a healthy man shoul d visit the d octor every year or two. For those over 45,it should be at least once a year.Two months ago Gullotta saw a 50-year-old man who had delayed d oing anything abouthis smoker’s cough for a year.When I finally saw him it had already spread and he has since died from ling cancer,”he says , “Earlier detection and treatment may not have cured him, but it woul d have prolonged his life.”According to a recent survey, 95%of women aged between 15 and early 40s see a doctor once a year, compared to 70% of men in the same age group."A lot of men think they are invincible (不可战胜的)" Gullotta says "They only come in when a friend drops d ead on the golf course and they think 'Geez, if it coul d happen to him, …'"Then there is the ostrich (鸵鸟) approach, "Some men are scared of what might be there and would rather not know," says Dr. Ross Cartmill."Most men get their cars serviced more often than they service their bodies," Cartmill says. He believes most diseases that commonly affect men coul d be addressed by preventive check-ups.Regular check-ups for men woul d inevitably (不可避免地) place stress on the public purse. Cartmill says. "But prevention is cheaper in the l ong run than having to treat the diseases. Besid es, the ultimate cost is far greater. It’s called premature d eath"66.Why d oes the author congratulate his mal e readers at the beginning of the passage?A. They are more likely to suffer diseases today.B. Their average life span has been considerably extended.C. They have lived long enough to red this article.D. They are sure to enjoy a l onger and happier life.67.Which of the foll owing best completes the sentence "Geez, if it could happen to him,…" in paragraph8?A. it coul d happen to me, too.B. I shoul d avoid playing golfC. I should consider myself lucky.D. it would be a big misfortune.68What does Dr. Ross Cartmill mean by "the ostrich approach" in paragraph 9?A .casual attitude towards one's health conditions.B. A new treatment for certain psychol ogical probl ems.C. Refusal to get medical treatment for fear of the pain involved.D. Unwillingness to find out about one's disease because of fear.69.What does Cartmill say about regular check-ups for men?A. They may increase public expenses.B. They will save money in the long run.C. They may cause psychol ogical stress on men.D. They will enable men to live as long as women.(B)Doctors have been advising us for years to "use it or lose it": that is, to stay as intellectually active as possibl e into our waning years in order to avoid dementia. But the latest research shows that brain training comes at a price.In a study of 1,157 men and women age 65 or ol der, researchers led by Dr. Robert Wilson at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago found that people who remained intellectually stimulated —by playing cards or other games, reading or visiting museums —were diagnosed with dementia later than those who were not as cognitively active. But once dementia set in, the group who participated in mentally stimulating activities experienced a much more rapid cognitive decline. Over the 12-year study, for each additional point they gained on a measure of cognitive activity, the intellectually stimulated group experienced a 52% greater decline in cognitive impairment, after being diagnosed with dementia.“Brain activity is not stopping the und erlying neurobiol ogy of d ementia, but for a while, it seems to be effective in delaying the ad ditional appearance of symptoms," says Wilson. "But the benefit of delaying the initial symptoms comes at the cost of more rapid progression of dementia once it makes its appearance."While brain exercises can help the brain continue to function d espite the accumulating biological changes und erlying dementia and Alzheimer's, at some point, says Wilson, the scales tip — that activity can no longer compensate for the growing volume of deteriorating alterations in the brain. "At that point, the patient is pretty much at the mercy of the pathol ogy," he says. And that's why, once the symptoms of dementia become obvious, those who were able to push off their diagnosis are likely to be at a more advanced stage of disease.The findings, published Wednesday in Neurol ogy, should not discourage people from remaining cognitively active, says Dr. William Thies, chief medical officer of the Alzheimer's Association, and in fact raises interesting questions about how we as a society shoul d approach age-related brain changes. Surveys consistently show that most of us woul d prefer to remain as functionally intact as possibl e and experience a short period of physical or mental disability before d eath. Gradual cognitive decline, which is the hallmark of Alzheimer's disease, is challenging for patients, their caregivers and society, as the health costs of chronic care continue to climb. But the current study suggests that more people may be able to telescope their mental d ecline into a shorter and more concentrated time period. "I think the results suggested by this paper are something that peopl e would regard as positive," he says. "And this is the sort of study we really need if we are ever going to understand how to manage all aspects of d ementia as a society."70. The word “dementia” can be best replaced by _______________________________.A. mental diseaseB. brain damageC. cognitive declineD. Biological changes71. The sentence underlined suggests that when the brain exercises can no longer compensate for the worsening alterations in the brain, __________.A. the volume of the worsening alterations in brain determines the seriousness of the diseaseB. the patient no l onger needs to d o brain exercises and has to be taken care of by the d octorsC. the d octors can only treat the patient based on his pathol ogical conditionsD. the accumulating biol ogical changes underlying dementia can’t be ignored by the patient72. According to Dr. William Thies, the findings shoul d be viewed as__________.A. discouragingB. interestingC. challengingD. positive73. What can we infer from the passage?A. Brain training is very expensive for those who want to stay cognitively active.B. The costs of taking care of an Alzheimer’s patient continue to go up.C. Those who d o brain exercises will definitely suffer from d ementia at last.D. We need more studies to understand how to manage dementia as a society.(C)The modern Olympic Games, founded in 1896,began as contests between individuals, rather than among nations , with the hope of promoting world peace through sportsmanship . In the beginning ,the games were open only to amateurs. An amateur is a person whose involvement in an activity--from sports to science or the arts--is purely for pleasure . Amateurs , whatever their contributions to a field, expect to receive no form of compensation; professional ,in contrast ,perform their work in ord er to earn a living.From the perspective of many athletes, however , the Olympic playing filed has been far from level. Restricting the Olympic to amateurs has preclud ed (排除)the participation of many who could not afford to be unpaid. Countries have always d esired to send their best athletes , not their wealthiest ones, to the Olympic Games.A sl ender and imprecise line separates what we call “financial support” from “earning money.” Do athletes “earn money” if they are reimbursed(补偿)for travel expenses? What if they are paid for time l ost at work or if they accept free clothing from a manufacturer or if they teach sports for a living? The runner Eric Lid dell was the son of poor missionaries; in 1924 the British Olympic Committee financed his trip to the Olympics, where he won a gol d and a bronze medal. Coll ege scholarships and support from the United States Olympic Committee mad e it possibl e for American track stars Jesse Owens and Wilma Rudolph and speed skater Dan Jansen to train and compete. When the Soviet Union and its allies joined the games in 1952, the definition of amateur became still muddier. Their athletes did not have tobalance jobs and training because as citizens in communist regimes, their government financial support was not considered payment for jobs.In 1971 the International Olympic Committee(IOC) removed the word amateur from the rules, making it easier for athletes to find the support necessary to train and compete. In 1986 the IOC allowed professional athletes into the games.There are those who regret the disappearance of amateurism from the Olympic Games. For them the games l ost something special when they became just another way for athletes to earn money. Others say that the designation of amateurism was always questionable; they argue that all competitors receive so much financial support as to make them paid professionals. Most agree, however, that the debate over what constitutes an“amateur”will continue for a l ong time.74. One might infer that _______________________.A. devel oping Olympic-level skills in athletes is costlyB. professional athletes are mostly interested in financial rewardsC. amateurs does not expect to earn money at the sport that is playedD. amateurs athletes have a better attitud e than professionals d o75. The statement“the playing field has been far from level”means that__________.A. the ground the athletes played on was in bad conditionB. the poorer players were given some advantagesC. the rules did not work the same way for everyoneD. amateurs were inferior to the professionals in many ways76. The financial support given to athletes by the Soviet government can best be compared to ________________.A. a gift received on a special occasion, such as a birthdayB. money received from a winning lottery ticketC. an all owance paid to a childD. Money from charity organization77. One can conclude that the Olympic Organizing Committee _________________.A. has hel d firm to its original vision of the Olympic gamesB. has struggled with the definition of amateur over the yearsC. regards itself as an organization for professional athl etes onlyD. did nothing but stop all owing communists to participateSection DDirections: Read the passage carefully and answer the questions or complete the statements in no more than 12 words."Severe fatigue(疲乏), very weak. I could hardly walk d own the bl ock," says Wendy Moro. Why, she wondered, then, Wendy and her d octor begin to suspect her plate. "A few times a week I was having fish, whether it was once or four times," says Wendy. "What kind of fish?Swordfish, tuna and sea bass, the highest mercury- content fish sold in the commercial market," says Dr. Jane Hightower.Mercury(汞) enters the ocean with commercial pollution. It works its way up the food chain, and apparently into some of the most popular fish on the market. Wendy's doctor, Dr. Jane Hightower, was so suspicious that she began testing her Bay Area patients. All consumed large amounts offish, and an overwhelming majority tested high for mercury in their systems."I was seeing hair loss, fatigue, muscle ache, headache, feeling just an ill feeling." Hightower said.The symptoms began to clear up when Hightower cut the amount of fish in their diets. "It was so obvious, but the problem was still unknown to the public," she said. "I even wanted to rent a tent and a tambourine."(A tambourine is a small one-sided drum with metal disks around its rim.) Her published findings drew national attention. But despite her study, there is still fierce debate over how much fish is safe to eat, and how much mercury consumers are actually eating. So we decid ed to do our own test.According to the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), the safe l evel of mercury intake for a 120-pound woman like Wendy is a little over 38 micrograms per week. On average, a single serving of tuna purchased here in the Bay Area contained more mercury than the EPA recommends a woman of Wendy's size eat for an entire week. Sea bass had nearly twice that level, and swordfish nearly six times the EPA's safe mercury intake for a week, in a single serving.Whil e there is little scientific data on how the body reacts to high levels of mercury, it has been linked to symptoms ranging from muscle pain to hair loss, birth defects, and muscle fatigue And, as in our testing, the evidence is mounting that the larger the fish, the more the exposure.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statement in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81. The popular fish on the market obtain mercury through and .82. When Dr. Hightower "wanted to rent a tent and a tambourine", she meant to .83. What did Dr. Hightower do with the information she discovered?_________________________________________________________________________84.

A. arrangement B. responsibility C. regulation D. importance( B )Here is some must-know information from a handbook on how people behave in doing business in some countries.In BrazilBrazilians are warm and friendly. They often stand close when talking and it is common for them to touch the person on the shoulder. People often greet each5other (particularly women) with light check kisses. Schedules tend to be flexible, with business meetings sometimes starting later than planned. But to be safe, be on time. Meals can stretch for hours -- there’s no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil Lunches also can start in the mid to late afternoon Brazilians are social, preferring face-to-face communication over mails or phone calls.In SingaporeSingaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small, polite bow. Business cards should be offered and received with two hands. Arriving late is considered disrespectful. So be on time. Efficiency(效率)is the goal, so meetings and dealings often are fast-paced. Singaporeans are direct in their discussions, even when the subject is about money. Rank is important and authority is respected. This determines both people react in meetings. For example, people avoid disagreeing outright with someone with a higher rank.In the United Arab EmiratesIn the UAE, status(地位)is important, so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles. The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere. So, do not pull away the handshake. Women should cover themselves when it comes to dress. Men also tend to be covered from neck to elbows(肘部)and down to the knees. People do not avoid entertaining in their homes, but they also hold business meals at restaurants. Touching or passing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided. When meetings are one-to-one, if your host offers you coffee, you should refuse. It might seem odd, but it is a cultural tradition. Coffee should6only be accepted if it is always set out or presented.In SwitzerlandThe Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name. They also are respectful of private lives. You should be careful not to ask about personal topics. Punctuality(守时)is vital, something that comes from a deep respect for others’time. Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe. They also have clear structure in their companies. Higher-ups make the final decisions, even if others might disagree. Neat, clean dress is expected. The Swiss follow formal table manners. they also keep their hands visible at the table and their elbows off the table. It is polite to finish the food on your plate.59. The passage is mainly about _______.A. communication typesB. the workplace atmosphereC. customs and social mannersD. living conditions and standards60. Why do Singaporeans avoid arguing with their boss?A. They put efficiency in the fist place.B. They dislike face-to-face communication.C. They want to finish meeting as quickly as possible.D. They are supposed to obey the person of a higher rank.761. In the UAE, when should you refuse the coffee if it is offered?A. When greeting seniors.B. When meeting the host alone.C. When attending a presentationD. When dining with business partners.62. In which country do people care about where to put their hands at the dinner table?A. In Brazil.B. In Singapore.C. In the United Arab Emirate.D. In Switzerland.(C)HAPPY to help or too selfish to share - some scientists wonder whether generosity(慷慨大方)lies in our upbringing or in our genes(基因).In a social science experiment carried out in an Israeli children’s playroom, 136 children aged 3 and 4 years old were given six sets of colorful stickers. They were told: “ You can keep all of the stickers, or you can give some to another child you don’t know. He doesn’t have any stickers,”Researchers then asked the children to step into the playroom one at a time and watched how they behaved.About two thirds of the children chose to give one or more sets of stickers to an unknown child. The others refused to share. Researchers found that many of this second group of children had something in common: a variation(变异)in a gene known as AVPRIA. This gene is supposed to control a chemical in the brain responsible for social behavior. The genetic variant(变体)of this gene can make people a lot less willing to share.8。

高一年级周练一I. Listening ComprehensionII. Grammar and VocabularySection AThe Good and the Bad of Rain and CloudsThis week we’ll explore some useful expressions about rain and clouds in American English. Some are very common. For example, you may have heard of the expression “raining cats and dogs”. We use it when it (21)_________ (rain) very, very hard. In other words, when it is pouring!Thus, we have another useful expression about he avy rain: “(22)________ it rains, it pours!” This means that when something bad happens, other bad things usually happen at the same time. We often use this saying after someone describes a lot of bad things, one (23)________ the other.If a person is under a cloud, they (24)________ (think) to have done something bad or dishonorable.A person (25)_________ even be under a certain type of cloud. If you are living under a cloud of suspicion(嫌疑), for example, other people believe that you have done something wrong.However, if you add a few extra words to the phrase the meaning changes greatly. If I am living under (26)________ dark cloud, it means I (27)_________ (depress) and sad all the time. We can make this phrase even (28)_________ (descriptive) by say ing “living under the dark cloud of depression” or “living under the dark cloud of poverty.” So, there are different types of dark clouds you can live under.(29)________ even when people are living under a dark cloud, there is hope. There is always hope. And (30)________ brings us to the last expression: Every cloud has a silver lining. A silver lining on a cloud shows that the sun is behind it. This expression means there is always something hopeful in even the most difficult or unhappy situation.Section B(A)31. He walked away without a backward _______.32. The meeting should be chaired by the most ________ person present.33. He made a number of rude _______ about the crippled teacher.34. The girl _______ me of her father when she speaks.35. The company is being actively _______ as a potential partner.36. It _______ only reasonable to ask students to buy a dictionary.37. What worries our parents most is that, they think, we are generally _______ in self-discipline.38. I am ________ happy to take you to the concert.39. Despite his cries, no one came to his _______.40. He was eager to ________ his ideas to the group.Wherever we go in summer, mosquitoes seem to follow us. Why do they have an extraordinaryability to __41__ us far away and fly straight at our unprotected skin? According to a team from the Californian Institute of Technology, the blood-sucking insects find us by smelling first.To test their hypothesis(假设), the team conducted a number of experiments with female mosquitoes in a wind tunnel to see which __42__ made the mosquitoes respond best. They __43__ a high concentration(浓度) of carbon dioxide (CO2) gas into the wind to mimic the exhaled (呼出的) breath of people.Then the team placed a dark object on the floor of the wind tunnel. At first, the mosquitoes showed no __44__ in it at all. However, the moment CO2was poured into the tunnel, they changed their behavior quite dramatically and were __45__ to the little object.This suggests to the researchers that female mosquitoes search for food in a rather simple way. They only start paying __46__ when their nose tells them there might be a person nearby. Hence, the mosquitoes don’t need to waste their time __47__ all the visual objects like rocks and plants.The research findings make sense to Matt DeGennaro, a scientist at Florida International University. He is working to create genetic (基因的) changes that __48__ the mosquito’s sense of smell. Matt says, “We can use that knowledge to design a new perfume that could block the mosquito’s __49__ us or could trigger (触发) certain receptors that signal __50__ to the mosquito and cause them to stay away.” One day, people may have a fighting chance against the little biting insect.III. Reading comprehensionSection AWe’ve heard it before –we’ve heard it one the news, from teachers, from parents –children and teenagers today are growing up too fast. There are not too many people that will __51__ with that statement. Teenagers are faced with serious problems and decisions at an early __52__. In fact most teenagers’ daily schedules(日程表) are as __53__ as those of an adult’s.I have been working since I was thirteen, and always in positions in which I was working with adults.I have had to learn to think and __54__ like an adult to be taken seriously. So, I count myself as one who has grown up too fast. I just graduated from high school, and have recently spent some time reflecting(反思)on the __55__ eighteen years--thinking about myself, what I have gained, and what __56__ I have yet to achieve.We are expected to work hard, get excellent __57__, be in a good relationship, and know what we want to do in life. The list goes on and on. But the __58__ is clear: We live in a society today that is __59__ our childhood. We no longer have many years to be careless and fancy--free. We are expected to __60__ the strict school rules and to excelin everything we do.I’ve known these things for a long time, and knew that they __61__ me. But, I never really admitted it until last night, when I learned a __62__ lesson, taught to me by my boss where I work. We had finished a job at a remote(遥远的) site. It was about 11:30 at night, and we had gone back to his house. We were talking about the __63__ he had been making to his home. One of the things he said was “I __64__ my basketball hoop(篮圈).” Then he threw a basketball to me.I hadn’t touched a basketball in five years.We proceeded to shoot hoops for about 5 minutes. Both of us were terribly bad at it, but we spent the whole time __65__ like children. Then I realized something: I am still a child. Oh, the law says I’m an adult. But, we are still really and truly children. We all need to have fun once in a while.51. A. talk B. disagree C. satisfy D. discuss52. A. age B. stage C. year D. grade53.

A. laughing B. shouting C. running D. shootingSection B(A)Before I came to live here, I spent a lot of time at Wuthering Heights. My mother looked after Hindley Earnshaw, Hareton’s father. Hindley and I were the same age. His sister Catherine was eight years younger than us. One day old Mr. Earnshaw went to Liverpool on business. He was away for three days and when he came back he brought a child with him. The child wasn’t very old, about Catherine’s age, but he was dirty and dressed in rags(衣衫褴褛). They called him “Heathcliff”. Not long after that, Mrs. Earnshaw died and the three children were left without a mother.Catherine and Heathcliff became close friends but Hindley always hated him. I must say, I didn’t like him much either. He was a strange child. He never complained or cried when Hindley hit him. Old Mr. Earnshaw was furious(狂怒的) when he discovered that his son was persecuting(迫害) the boy. Heathcliff was definitely his favourite.I often wondered why Mr. Earnshaw admired him. Heathcliff never showed any signs of affection for the old man or any signs of gratitude either. But the old man’s love gave him power over Hindley.As Mr. Earnshaw got older and weaker, he became bad-tempered. Hindley often made him angry by saying nasty things about Heathcliff. Once or twice the old man lifted his stick to hit his son but he was too weak to do it. Then he shook with rage(盛怒). In the end the local curate(助理牧师) advised him to send Hindley away to school. Mr. Earnshaw agreed but he was sad to see his son on leave.“Maybe we’ll have some peace now,” I thought.Catherine was a very pretty girl with thick dark curls(卷发) and dark eyes and a passionate nature. She talked, sang and laughed from the moment she got up to the moment she went to bed. She liked to play the mistress(女主人) of the house, giving Hindley, Heathcliff and me orders. When t he boys didn’t obey her, she hit them. But I never let her hit me. She was very fond of Heathcliff—too fond. The worst punishment we could invent for her was to keep them separate.Then one October evening Mr. Earnshaw died quietly in his chair. Both Catherine and Heathcliff were very upset. They cried and cried. I didn’t have time to comfort them because I had to go to the village to get the doctor. When I came back I went straight to their room. It was after mid-night but they weren’t asleep. They we re comforting each other by describing all the beautiful things in heaven. Tears ran down my face as I listened to them.66. Which of the following statements about Heathcliff is NOT true?A. He was dirty and wearing shabby clothes when first brought to Wuthering Heights.B. He was about eight years younger than Hindley.C. He got angry and fought back when Hindley bullied him.D. He was Mr. Earnshaw’s favorite child and Catherine’s close friend.67. From the story, we can learn that ________.A. Catherine was the mistress of Wuthering Heights who always lost her temper.B. Heathcliff was not a grateful child at that time.C. The most severe penalty for Catherine was to separate her from Heathcliff.D. The author seemed sad to see Hindley sent away to school.(B)Priceless collections spanning (横跨) 11,000 years went up in flames as a massive fire swallowed Brazils National Museum. About 90 percent of the 20 million items may have been destroyed.The fire broke out after the museum had closed on September 2. It began at around 7:30 p.m. local time. Several hours later, firefighters were still working to put out the fire.There were no reports of injuries, but the loss to Brazililan science, history and culture was incalculable(不可估量的). The museum, which turned 200 years old in June, was founded a few years before the country itself. It is the oldest scientific institution in Brazil and has large natural history and anthropology(人类学) collections.The museum was home to Egyptian and Graeco-Roman(受希腊和罗马影响的) artifacts(具有史学价值的手工艺品), and fossils. One of the most famous collections is known as Luzia, the skull and bones of a 25-year-old woman who died more than 11,000 year ago. They are the oldest remains ever discovered in the Americas. The largest meteori te ever found in Brazil is also housed in the museum. “Very little will be left.” said a museum official.Inadequate fire protection systems appear to be key factors behind the tragedy. The museum had no sprinkler system. The two hydrants nearest to the m useum weren’t working, delaying efforts to stop the fire.Luiz Duarte, the museum’s vice-director, said politicians were to blame for failing to support the museum. In recent years, the Brazilian government has spent billions on the Olympics and major construction projects, but has cut spending on culture and education. Researchers working at the museum even had to raise funds to pay for cleaning services.For many years the museum fought with different administrations to get funds. It had just closed a d eal with the Brazilian government’s development bank, for funds that included a fire-prevention project.Angry crowds gathered outside the museum after the fire, calling for President Michel Temer’s resignation. The country has struggled with an economic recession and political instability since 2014. The museum blaze has become a symbol to Brazilians frustrated by their government.68. Which of the following collections did belong to Brazil’s National Museum?A. the oldest remains of human ever found in the worldB. century-long artifacts from Egyptian and Graeco-Roman cultureC. the largest meteorite ever discoveredD. The double-headed serpent69. Which of the following is NOT the reason why the public asked for the President’s resignation?A. Brazil has undergone economic downturn ever since 2014.B. Brazilian government has spent a lot of money to host the Olympics and other world events.C. Brazilian government has been unstable for a couple of years.D. Brazilian people have become disappointed with their government.70. Which one of the following titles suit the passage best?A. The biggest fire ever experienced by BrazilB. Brazil government is to blame.C. What causes the big fire in Brazil?D. Massive fire destroys cultural treasures(C)Mapping Your WorldDifferent forms of maps are appearing. They allow independent travelers to get local knowledge of places they are visiting, from the official to the unusual. Meanwhile, hi-tech developments are creating new ways for us to map the world.Here are two of our favorites:Green MapsGreen Maps allows people to share with the world their knowledge of environmentally friendly places and attractions in the local ers add information with a set of icons (图标) , making it easy to read any map, whatever the nationalities of those who produce it.At present there are over five hundred map projects being developed in 54 countries. Green Maps’advertised idea is “think global, map local”. It is a wonderful way of gaining all sorts of information of a place, ranging from community gardens to goodplaces of birdwatching.Green Maps is not specifically intended for travelers.Not all of its maps are online, so it may be necessary for some users to communicate with the producers through the Green Maps website.Map MashupsMany people use online maps developed by Google, but not many know about the mashups of them.Working in a similar way to Green Maps, Map Mashups allows people to add icons of their own toexisting maps to express a certain topic.The mashups is so called because it combines all the knowledge you could ever need.It ranges from the extremely useful, such as where all the World Heritage Sites are, to the most bizarre (古怪的), such as where America’s drunkest cities are.With the mashups added to the basic Google Maps, a multilayered (多层的) map can be created.71. According to the passage, which of the following is a characteristic of Green Maps?A. Aiming at environmental protection.B. Introducing local attractions with icons.C. Offering advice to independent travelers.D. Collecting icons worldwide for local maps.72. Which of the following icons is most probably NOT used in Green Maps?73. What do Green Maps and Map Mashups have in common?A. They are created by local people.B. They are environmentally friendly.C. Users can edit maps on the Internet.D. Users need to communicate with producers.IV. Translation74. 上周我向Lucy寻求帮助时,她毫不犹豫地答应了。

They often stand close when talking and it is common for them to touch the person on the shoulder. People often greet each5other (particularly women) with light check kisses. Schedules tend to be flexible, with business meetings sometimes starting later than planned. But to be safe, be on time. Meals can stretch for hours -- there’s no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil Lunches also can start in the mid to late afternoon Brazilians are social, preferring face-to-face communication over mails or phone calls.In SingaporeSingaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small, polite bow. Business cards should be offered and received with two hands. Arriving late is considered disrespectful. So be on time. Efficiency(效率)is the goal, so meetings and dealings often are fast-paced. Singaporeans are direct in their discussions, even when the subject is about money. Rank is important and authority is respected. This determines both people react in meetings. For example, people avoid disagreeing outright with someone with a higher rank.In the United Arab EmiratesIn the UAE, status(地位)is important, so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles. The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere. So, do not pull away the handshake. Women should cover themselves when it comes to dress. Men also tend to be covered from neck to elbows(肘部)and down to the knees. People do not avoid entertaining in their homes, but they also hold business meals at restaurants. Touching or passing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided. When meetings are one-to-one, if your host offers you coffee, you should refuse. It might seem odd, but it is a cultural tradition. Coffee should6only be accepted if it is always set out or presented.In SwitzerlandThe Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name. They also are respectful of private lives. You should be careful not to ask about personal topics. Punctuality(守时)is vital, something that comes from a deep respect for others’time. Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe. They also have clear structure in their companies. Higher-ups make the final decisions, even if others might disagree. Neat, clean dress is expected. The Swiss follow formal table manners. they also keep their hands visible at the table and their elbows off the table. It is polite to finish the food on your plate.59. The passage is mainly about _______.A. communication typesB. the workplace atmosphereC. customs and social mannersD. living conditions and standards60. Why do Singaporeans avoid arguing with their boss?A. They put efficiency in the fist place.B. They dislike face-to-face communication.C. They want to finish meeting as quickly as possible.D. They are supposed to obey the person of a higher rank.761. In the UAE, when should you refuse the coffee if it is offered?A. When greeting seniors.B. When meeting the host alone.C. When attending a presentationD. When dining with business partners.62. In which country do people care about where to put their hands at the dinner table?A. In Brazil.B. In Singapore.C. In the United Arab Emirate.D. In Switzerland.(C)HAPPY to help or too selfish to share - some scientists wonder whether generosity(慷慨大方)lies in our upbringing or in our genes(基因).In a social science experiment carried out in an Israeli children’s playroom, 136 children aged 3 and 4 years old were given six sets of colorful stickers. They were told: “ You can keep all of the stickers, or you can give some to another child you don’t know. He doesn’t have any stickers,”Researchers then asked the children to step into the playroom one at a time and watched how they behaved.About two thirds of the children chose to give one or more sets of stickers to an unknown child. The others refused to share. Researchers found that many of this second group of children had something in common: a variation(变异)in a gene known as AVPRIA. This gene is supposed to control a chemical in the brain responsible for social behavior. The genetic variant(变体)of this gene can make people a lot less willing to share.8This study was published last month in the online scientific journal PLoS One. It suggested that children can be selfish-less and genetics may play a role.But social scientists point out environmental influences from home, school and the wider world may play a larger role in creating good or bad habits. Studies using brain scans have shown that when someone is being generous or is described as generous, his or her brain will give off a kind of chemical. This chemical is linked to positive feelings. “If (parents) tell a kid he is a generous person, he is more likely to act generously again than if they buy him a toy,”said Nancy Eisenberg, an Arizona State University psychology professor, to The Wall Street Journal.Social scientists also say that as people grow up and develop stronger ideas of morality(道德)and fairness, their generosity will increase.Referring to the Israeli study, Emmanuel College psychologist Joyce Benenson says to the Wall Street Journal, that even at 3 or 4 years old, “If you’ve got six packs of something, you know that giving away one isn’t really changing what you have.” Of the 136 children in the Israeli study, the largest group gave away one ticker; the second largest group gave away none. Only twenty-two children gave away more than one sticker.63. According to the article, the experiment_______.A. studied more than 100 children aged between 13 and 14B. gathered all the children in a room to watch their behaviorC. found that one-third of the children were unwilling to share9D. asked the children to share stickers with their friends64. What was newly discovered by the experiment?A. A variation of a gene can influence people’s social behavior.B. More than half of the kids were considered to be selfish.C. Generous behavior can make a child feel good.D. Children are less generous than adults expect.65. What can we conclude from the article?A. Genes play a major role in deciding whether people are generous.B. As children grow, economical responsibility can stop them from sharing with others.C. Both genes and social environment influence whether people are generous.D. Parents could try giving toys to kids to encourage them to be generous.66. Who might be more generous according to the article?A. Those with an AVPRIA gene.B. Those growing up in rich families.C. These who receive college education.D. Those growing up in a sharing environment.10(D)Directions: Read the following passages. Filling each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentences can be used only once. Note there are two more sentences than you need.overheard criticizing yourself for a foolish mistake or practicing a tricky speech, you’ll know the social problems it can cause. According to the well-known saying, talking to yourself is the first sign of madness(疯).____67____ Talking to ourselves, whether out loud or silently in our heads, is a valuable tool for thought. Far from being a sign of foolishness and madness, self-talk allows us to plan what we are going to do, manage our activities, control ouremotions and even create a narrative(叙事)of our experience.11For example, take a trip to any kindergarten and watch a small child playing with her toys. You are very likely to her here talking to herself: offering herself directions and giving voice to her failure. __68__ We do a lot of it when we are young as a matter of fact.As children, according to the Russian psychologist Lev Vygotsky, we use private speech to control our actions in the same way that we use public speech to control the behavior of others, ____69____Psychological experiments have shown that the distancing effect of our words can give us a valuable perspective on our actions. One recent study suggested that self-talk is most effective when we address ourselves in the second person: as “you” rather than “I”.We internalize the private speech we use as children -- but we never entirely put away the out-loud version. __70__ You’re sure to see an athlete or two shouting or scolding themselves after poor performance.Both kinds of self-talk seem to bring a range of benefits to our thinking. Those words to the self, spoken silently or aloud, are so much more than lazy talk.答案:I. Grammar21. from 22. that 23. has completed 24. cleaner 25. that/ which26. can 27. when 28. have removed 29.

"The care that elderly relatives receive from their families is ___(13)___, but there is clearly a growing concern that financial support for rising residential care costs may simply be ___(14)___," he said. Caught up in the recession(衰退), almost half of those people with elderly parents said they felt less ___(15)___ able than they did a year ago to meet any care costs."The financial crisis only serves to highlight the difficulties older people, their families and caregivers are ___(16)___ facing when trying to pay for care," said Stephen Burke, chief executive of Counsel and Care. "The situation has been made worse by the ___(17)___ in the housing market, which has made it harder for older people to sell their houses to pay for their care costs."People with parents who need care do not just face financial ___(18)___, according to the LV report. Of those surveyed, 13% had put off career changes or sacrificed ___(19)___ at work, while the same proportion had put off moving house. A third of respondents(调查对象) had put their holiday plans on hold, while a further 13% had sacrificed financial support for their children.III. Reading Comprehension(A)“Just relax,” I said, “and let the water support you!”Of course, such things are usually easier said than done.When I discovered that the university I work at has a swimming pool,I was quite pleased. Swimming is a great way to exercise. So I suggested toEllen that we should go for a dip. She declined. At first, I thought it was because she thought it might be too cold to go swimming, but as the summer heat rolled in, she continued to resist my offers.Eventually, I asked her what was stopping her, and was surprised to hear, “I can't swim!”Most Australians learn to swim fairly early on, with school programs teaching it. With the population of Australia mostly gathered around the edge of the continent, going to the beach and swimming in the sea are incredibly popular things to do, so someone who can’t swim is fairly uncommon.Ellen’s confession drove me to make a foolish offer — that I would teach her to swim.If I’d foreseen the problems that were to come, I would probably have never set foot in the pool.Once we got past the initial hurdle of the water being “too cold”, “too scary” and having “a funny smell”, I persuaded Ellen to put her arms around my neck, and try to let her legs float out behind her, while I gently pulled her along.That night, I tried to sleep without moving my neck, as Ellen’s tight grasp had almost torn my head from my shoulders. She panicked after a small wave splashed some water up her nose, and nearly drowned the pair of us in the resulting waving of arms and legs.I think it was at that point I decided to buy her a large life ring, so that she could float along without holding me tight. And I hope, in that way, Ellen will be a little more confident in the water.20. Ellen refused to go swimming with her husband because ______.A. it was too cold at that timeB. there was no swimming pool aroundC. she couldn’t stand the summer heatD. she did not know how to swim21. Which of the following CANNOT be learned according to the passage?A. Swimming is a required course in many Australian schools.B. Most of the Australians learn to swim at a fairly early age.C. It is convenient for most Australians to go to the seaside.D. Swimming is the most popular activity among Australians.22. The underlined word “hurdle” in the passage probably means ________.A. frameB. excitementC. obstacleD. jump23. How did the author probably feel after teaching his wife to swim for the first time?A. Surprised and tired.B. Exhausted and regretful.C. Energetic and confident.D. Disappointed and angry.(B)The following articles are extracts from editorials.24. According to the passages, reducing workforces may result in ______.A. the enhancement of work efficiencyB. the increase of e mployees’ workloadC. better chances of promotionD. the cutdown of employees’ income25. According to the passages, the Olympic Games should ______.A. include more highly skilled and well-paid individualsB. choose rugby when considering the addition of new sportsC. aim at providing more enjoyment for ordinary peopleD. improve their standards of candidates at any cost26. What is in common among these three articles?A. They all quote exact figures to illustrate their points.B. Each of them expresses a strong opinion about a current issue.C. Each of them reflects a different voice about the same problem.D. They all offer constructive suggestions to the authority.(C)One often hears that children should arrive at school “ready to learn.” For mos t children, the acquisition of reading and math skills starts in the first grade. In states where kindergarten is compulsory, it begins even earlier.Many parents, teachers, and politicians maintain that preschool is the best way to prepare children to learn. There is no real consensus(一致), however, about how this preparation should be achieved.For some, early childhood education relates to the development of the whole child. They think that preschool should encourage exploration and discovery. Group activities teach positive social behaviors such as sharing, kindness, and patience. Time spent alone encourages independence. Learning letters and counting is important only for children who show an interest in them. Advocates(提倡者)of this approach stress that each child is unique and should learn at his or her own pace.Other people refer to research showing that children are ready to absorb basic academic concepts by age 3 or 4. They claim that early introduction to letters and numbers lays the foundation for later academic excellence. Since the 1980s, many people have stressed the value of preschool and point to the success of programs -such as Head Start -that target low-incomechildren.Is there proof that an academic curriculum in preschool will lead to academic success? Studies have not been conclusive. In the short term, evidence suggests that middle-class children who attend preschool are ahead of their peers in maths and language skills, as well as in social skills, when they enter school. However, the same studies show that the gap narrows considerably by the time children reach age 8.Children living in poverty are a different matter. Those enrolled in programs such as Head Start seem to do better than impoverished(穷困的) children who do not attend a preschool. For instance, youngsters in one group enrolled in the program, tracked until the age of 21, earned higher scores on intelligence tests, were more likely to graduate from high school, and demonstrated more interest in higher education.The idea of public preschool raises many issues. Providing Head Start for all children would be a financial burden on communities that already struggle to fund current school programs. Also, where would a sufficient number of teachers trained in early childhood development be found?27. Advocates of the development of the whole child believe school readiness is _______.A.showing eagerness in exploration and discoveryB.learning basic skills, such as knowing letters and countingC.Showing great interest in basic academic conceptsD.demonstration of intellectual, social and emotional skills28. According to the passage, Head Start is most probably _________.A. a preschool program that supports disabled childrenB. a program that helps impoverished children attend a schoolC.an organization that aims to improve current school programsD. a program that helps design the academic curriculum in preschool29. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.Preschool benefits middle-class children more than poor children.B.Most children start school with similar language and social skills.C.Providing Head Start for all children has encountered great difficulties.D.All children are ready to absorb basic academic concepts by age 3 or 4.30. Which of the following may best summarize the main idea of the passage?A.An academic curriculum in preschool will lead to academic success.B.Preshool is helpful, despite the disagreement about what it should offer.C.Children enrolled in preschool demonstrate more interest in learning.D.Preschool education shou ldn’t be a financial burden on communities.IV.

In 1993, the owners of a large hotel and of several houses discovered, to their horror, that their gardens had disappeared overnight. The sea had eaten into the soft limestone cliffs on which they had been built. While experts were studying the problem, the hotel and several houses disappeared altogether, sliding down the cliff and into the sea.Erosion of the white cliffs along the south coast of England has always been a problem but it has become more serious in recent years. Dozens of homes have had to be abandoned as the sea has crept farther and farther inland・ Experts have studied the areas most affected and have drawn up a map for local people, forecasting the year in which their homes will be swallowed up by the hungry sea・Angry owners have called on the Government to erect sea defenses to protect their homes. Government surveyors have pointed out that in most cases, this is impossible. New sea walls would cost hundreds of millions of pounds and would merely make the waves and currents go further along the coast, shifting the problem from one area to another. The danger is likely to continue, they say, until the waves reach an inland area of hard rock which will not be eaten as limestone is. Meanwhile, if you want to buy a cheap house with an uncertain future, apply to a house agent in one of the threatened areas on the south coast of England. You can get a house for a knockdown price but it may turn out to be a knockdown home・26・ What is the cause of the problem that people living on parts of the south coast of England face? ___________________________ .A- The disappearance of hotels, houses and gardens-B.The experts' lack of knowledge・C.The rising of the sea level.D.The washing-away of limestone cliffs・27. The erosion of the white cliffs in the south of England ___________________ .A.will soon become a problem for people living in central EnglandB.has now become a threat to the local residentsC.is quickly changing the map of EnglandD.can be stopped if proper measures are taken2& The experts5 study on the problem of erosion can _____________________ .A.lead to its eventual solutionB.provide an effective way to slow it downC.help to prevent it from worseningD.warn people whose homes are in danger29.It is not feasible to build sea defenses to protect against erosion because ____________B.the government is too slow in taking actionC.they will be easily knocked down by waves and currentsD.house agents along the coast do not support the idea(B)Americans are pound of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform, whether it is the uniform 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 they look 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. 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 manytypes of civilian clothes.30.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 uniform31.People are accustomed to think that a man in uniform _______ .A.suggests quality workB.discards his social identityC.appears to be more practicalD.looks superior to a person in civilian clothes32.The chief function of a uniform is to ______ .A.provide practical benefits to the wearerB.make the wearer catch the pubic eyeC.inspire the wearer^s confidence in himselfD・ provide the wearer with a professional identity(C)On December 3, more than 10,000 scientists, environmental activists and government officials from 187 countries met in Bali, Indonesia, which is the largest global warming conference ever held.One of the main goals of the two-week meeting is to develop a replacement for the international treaty called the Kyoto Protocol, which has been signed by 174, countries, calling for limits on the emission of greenhouse gases.Under the Kyoto Protocol, nations were legally bound to reduce greenhouse gases, but since it was signed in 2005, they have continued to increase worldwide. Of the largest greenhouse gas emitters, only Russia and Japan have agreed to follow the rules. China and India—second and sixth on the list—are making efforts to make cuts.The U.S signed the treaty in 1997 but has not yet agreed to follow the strict rules, which require that greenhouse gas release be reduced by 10% by 2012. U.S. officials are opposed to these mandatory, or required, cuts in emissions- "We're worrying that it would be too costly and wouldhurt the U.S. economy・ But weYe not here to be a roadblock/1 said Harlan L・ Watson, a top U.S. climate official・Even if greenhouse gases are reduced, scientists say it will take decades or Ion ger to stop the global warming that is already underway.

Vocabulary:17 naturalists are born and not made. Although we were all brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects and began to be 18 in music. Unlike them, I had no 19 for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.Before World War I, we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim 20 of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a clear memory of the dogs, the farm animals, the local birds, and above all, the insects.I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love for the natural world and my enthusiasm had led me into various investigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil reading about other people's observations and discoveries. Then something happens—that brings these observations together in my 21 mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the 22 , because it all seems to fit together. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books, which some might honor with the 23 of scientific research.But curiosity, a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist: one of the outstanding and essential qualities 24 is self-discipline, a quality I lack. A scientist, up to point, can be made. A naturalist is 25 . If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds.17---25 BD D B E AB AC AD A BCIII.

His employer had a large private library so Owen was able to educate himself. He read a lot in his spare time and at nineteen he was given the job of superintendent at a Manchester cotton mill. He was so successful there that he persuaded his employer to buy the New Lanark mill in Scotland.When he arrived at New Lanark it was a dirty little town with a population of 2,000 people. Nobody paid any attention to the workers' houses or their children's education. The conditions in the factories were very bad. There was a lot of crime and the men spent most of their wages on alcoholic drinks.Owen improved the houses. He encouraged people to be clean and save money. He opened a shop and sold the workers cheap, well-made goods to help them. He limited the sale of alcoholic drinks. Above all, he fixed his mind on the children's education. In 1816 he opened the first free primary school in Britain.People came from all over the country to visit Owen's factory. They saw that the workers were healthier and more efficient than in other towns. Their children were better fed and better educated. Owen tried the same experiment in the United States. He bought some land there in 1825, but the community was too far away. He could not keep it under control and lost most of his money.Owen never stopped fighting for his ideas. Above all, he believed that people are not born good or bad. He was a practical man and his ideas were practical. "If you give people good working conditions," he thought, "they will work well and, the most important thing of all, if you give them the chance to learn, they will be better people."41.

Family.CHandling difference constructively is a great skill for partners to develop. Respecting and enjoying each other can be even more important.After all, what are you having the relationship for? You may need to struggle through some hard, hurtful and boring bits. You might learn and grow through doing this, but generally it’s the feel-good things that make relationships attractive.Those are things like feeling connected, like knowing that you count, that someone finds you special, that you can feel and inspire passion. Whatever it is you want in a relationship, it’s about adding something positive to your life.So is that where you put your energy in your relationship?You don’t have to get on all the time. There will be strains and tensions in every relationship. However skilled you are at disagreeing in a constructive way, it’s the cumulative effect of small moments of warmth, of fun, of kindness and affection that really makes you relationship.It’s really easy to wait until there’s a problem to fix before paying more attention to your relationship, but there are dozens of opportunities daily to do warm, companionable, loving things.Conversations about the most ordinary things can still express your friendliness and your interest in each other.Know and care what is happening in each other’s lives. Know who your parent’s friends are, what bugs them at work, and what they’d love to be if they could.When you make connections with each other, even little ones, you both feel noticed and cared for. Your moments of warmth, your shared jokes, and your encouragement of each other are connections reflecting the reasons you got into the relationship in the first place.Your relationship is not a dress rehearsal. It’s happening now, so enjoy the show. No need to worry too much about mistakes, when you’re together you can help each other out when you forget your lines.49.

There is little sign they are overstaying their welcome. Terrifying but also seductive, they are as popular in the early 21st century as ever, as the current popularity of the twilight series, and its hero Edward Cullen, show.Vampires first appeared in fiction in the 1700s. In 1895 Irish novelist Bram Stoker published Dracula, introducing the world's most famous vampire. Ever since, teenagers have loved to scare each other with stories told around the campfire of beautiful, pale-skinned drinkers of human blood.But just what is it about these fictional creatures that continue to fascinate us? Speaking to Eric Lewis of the Times and Transcript website, academic Deborah Wells said that vampires are "culturally adaptive"."We create very different vampires to fit different times. Edward Cullen is not the same as Count Dracula," she said.Different as they are, Wells believes vampires are "the perfect vessels into which we can pour our current cultural anxieties". Bram Stoker's Dracula is powerful, yet old and physically ugly. Stoker's book dealt with fear of the fall of the British Empire, real fears in the day in which it waswritten.According to the website Bookrags, today's vampires possess all our cultural desires: money, power and sexual attraction. Represented by Cullen, they are aristocratic, handsome young men whom women find irresistible. What's more, vampires challenge traditional ideas about death, science and parental authority. This may be why teenagers are drawn to vampire tales."In many ways, the vampire story shows up teenage concerns," said Wells. "The emotional intensity of the relationship with the vampire matches the intensity of how it feels to have your first real love affair. Your first real love, it really feels like life and death."53. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 means that _____.A. vampires are no longer popularB. all types of vampire are popularC. the changes in vampires are welcomedD. vampires remain popular54. According to Deborah Wells, vampires _____.A. reflect our desire for power and fear for deathB. are different in different culturesC. show the fall of the British EmpireD. represent horror and evil55. Vampire stories appeal to teenagers because _____.A. vampires are mysterious and physically uglyB. most vampires are aristocratic and handsomeC. they show how nice our first real love affairs can beD. they represent non-traditional idea56. Deborah Wells has a _____ attitude towards the popularity of vampire stories amongteenagers.A. objectiveB. puzzledC. disapprovingD. pessimistic (A) BDCC (B) DCBA (C) CDDB (D) DBDAIII.
