In childhood,we often linked fear with imagination,afraid that a monster was hiding behind the door or under the bed,or that an airplane would crash on our houses.

As we grow up,we’re often encouraged to think of 36 as a weakness.However,scientists have actually shown that human beings tend to be optimists.So maybe that’s 37 we think of fear,sometimes,as a danger in and of itself! “Don’t worry,” we like to say to one another.“Don’t panic.” In English,fear is something we 38 .It’s something we overcome.But what if we looked at fear in a(an) 39 way? What if we 40 fear as an amazing act of the imagination?

Maybe it’s no41 that some of our most creative minds 42 to leave fears behind as adults.The incredible 44 that produced “The Origin of Species”,“Jane Eyre” and “The Remembrance of Things Past” 44 intense worries that affected the45 lives of Charles Darwin,Charlotte Bronte and Marcel Proust.So the question is,what can the rest of us learn about fear from imaginations and young children?

Now,some of us naturally 46 our fear? more 47 than others.Recently I read about an essay of study on successful businessmen,and the 48 found that these people 49

a habit that he called “productive paranoia(偏执狂),” which meant that these people,instead of

50 their fears,read them closely,they 51 them,and then they 52 that fear into preparation and action.So that way,if their worst fears came true,their businesses were 53 .

And maybe if we all 54 to read our fears,they could offer us something as 55 as our favorite works of literature: a little wisdom,a bit of insight and a version of that most elusive thing — the truth.

Amsterdam is the most bicycle-friendly city in the world,with 40% to 60% of all trips within the city made on bikes.Some estimate that there are between 880,000 to a million bicycles in the city,which is more than the city’s permanent population,by as much as 20%.Amsterdam also has lots of canals —165,with a combined length of 100 kilometers.Unavoidably,some of the bicycles end up getting wet.Did I say some? How about 15,000? That’s how many bicycles are retrieved from Amsterdam^ canals every year.In fact,fishing for bicycles is a full-time occupation for the city.

Watemet,the agency responsible keeping the canals clean,employs a huge claw,to fish out bicycles from the canal bed.The claw is connected to a crane that sits on the front of a barge.The company has been bike fishing since the 1960s,and they do this every day.

Nobody has a clear answer to why Amster dam’s residents throw away so many bikes into the canals,but this habit of throwing things into the canals goes back a long way.In the old days,the canals used to be an open sewer.There was no answer system in Amsterdam,so the canals were like an open toilet and trash-can for the people of Amsterdam.

In 1860,Amsterdam started to see the problem and began cleaning up the canals.But many people still havens totally kicked the habit of throwing things into the canals,especially when they are drunk.Ifs believed that most bicycles fished out from the canals are ever stolen.Between 50,000 and 80,000 bikes are stolen each year,yet very few report bike theft to the police because they think that the police won’t do anything about it.

Most of the bikes picked up from the canals end up as scrap metal.Though bikes aren’t the only thing that gets caught,rarely workers would bring up other items,such as fridges and even cars.Between 35 to 50 cars fall into the canals each year.In most cases they are the result of an accident.

Bike fishing has become one of Amsterdam’s unique tourist attractions.

56.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 may mean .

A.some bikes cannot be dry all the time

B.some bikes are thrown into the canals

C.some bikes can be hidden in the river

D.some bikes are useless in the end

57.People in Amsterdam used to consider canals a place .

A.where they can recall their old days

B.where they can hide their stolen bikes

C.where they can throw away their waste

D.where they can escape from the police

58.We can knew from the passage that .

A.visitors like to fish for bikes

B.bike fishing is held to attract tourists

C.visitors can fish bikes during the trip

D.fishing for bikes has become Amsterdam’s special scenic spot

Imagine a landscape that is bare and dull,with many mountains and salt lakes dotting its sands.This is Atacama Desert,which is starved for wetness,despite being relatively close to the coast.On an average,North Chile receives less than 0.6 inches of rain in a year.

Deserts by definition do not receive any rain.The Atacama Desert of Chile and Peru stretches almost parallel along the Pacific Coast for about 600 miles.The average height is 13,000 feet making it the highest desert in the world.Outside the polar regions,this area is also one of the coldest deserts with temperatures averaging between 0 and 25 degree Celsius.

Climatologists refer to the center of the Atacama as an “absolute desert”.There has been no record of rain in certain parts of the desert for 400 years since humans began keeping records,making it the driest desert on Earth.The peculiar landscape of South America — height and position —is responsible for this.

Every 5 or 7 years,the unpredictable EI Nino is strong enough to trigger a phenomenon

here,known locally as “desierto florid.” This exactly translates into flowering desert and occurs when the rain go through the desert surface and reach inactive seeds.The plants burst forth and bloom and the usually lifeless landscape is flooded with pink,purple,orange and yellow colors.The phenomenon occurs every 5 or 10 years,depending on the power of the spring rains.

Earlier this year,Chile received unusually heavy rainfall,when compared to its historical records.The rains were heavy enough to cause floods,and also caused a mild flowering in https://www.360docs.net/doc/df8337315.html,ter,more storms in August provided the final boost for the plants,resulting in an even rarer “double bloom” this year.The bright floral landscape has also attracted several insects and insect-eaters.The entire ecosystem has been changed.

Considering that such intense flowering has occurred after nearly 18 years,a number of tourists have visited this area.However,the flowers are not likely to bloom into November and researchers hope the local governments will step in to preserve the land and its hidden riches for the future.

59.What do we know about Atacama Desert?

A.It is the coldest desert on Earth.

B.It is the second highest desert in Chile.

C.It borders on Chile and Peru.

D.It is close to the Atlantic Ocean.

60.What does the underlined word “this” refer to?

A.The Atacama Desert is 1,300 feet high.

B.There is no record of rain in Atacama.

C.The temperature of Atacanm is from 0 to 25.

D.The Atacama is the driest desert.

61.What might be the most suitable title for the passage?

A.Flowers never grow in the desert

B.A desert cannot be like a garden

C.Rain turns a desert colorful

D.The Atacama Desert is flooded

In 2007,Dmitriy Dey —an economist in Kazakhstan was scanning his country on Google Earth when he found large weird shapes and patterns dotting the northern landscape.Eventually named Steppe Geoglyphs,they continued to interest researchers for years.Who built them and why?

Recently,NASA released incredibly detailed photographs of the region in northern Kazakhstan.They show many trenches,mounds and banks — carefully formed into definite lines

and shapes.

Geoglyphs is a term given to “land pictures”,where large shapes or motifs are artificially created on the earth’s surfacing using the earth itself.Because of their size,they are best seen when viewed from above.

Most are made of sand or gravel and a few,of wood.Yet others are specific to the areas in which they were created.For example,the famous Nazca lines in Peru were created by scraping away the dark top-soil of the desert region,to reveal a much paler surface below.

But why fashion them at all? Theories range from tribal rituals,to tracking the sun’s movements,to marking political territories,to even alien activity.The shapes also vary —from odd patterns,to animals and even wheels.They show a lot about the societies that created them,since it was a difficult task and would have required efforts of a large number of people, Mr.Dey’s research,together with satellite photographs from NASA have listed close to 260 shapes.These include lines,circles,crosses and even an odd 3-sided swastika.Long before the Nazis adopted this symbol,the swastika was widely used across Asia and Europe to depict prosperity.The sizes of the geoglyphs are different — ranging from 300 feet to almost 1,300 feet!

Some estimates have put them at 8,000 years old — since a Neolithic settlement was found nearby,dating from that era.Researchers theorized that this tribe could have built them.However,another team have used a different dating technique and estimated them at 800 BC.This would make them 2,800 years old.Although this team has recently received government grants to continue their research,they are in danger of being wiped out.Indeed^ human activity such as road construction is their biggest threat.

62.According to the text,Geoglyphs .

A.are hidden beneath the Earth’s surface

B.are created by aliens from space

C.are of different shapes and sizes

D.are man-made pictures in the desert

63.In old Asia and Europe,the swastika means .

A.peace

B.love

C.violence

D.wealth

64.The last paragraph suggests that people aren’t sure.

A.when Steppe Geoglphs was created

B.what threatens the existence of geoglyphs

C.where the geoglyphs can be found

D.how to map the geoglyphs better

65.What does the passage mainly talk about?

A.New land pictures on Google Earth.

B.Mysterious symbols in Kazakhstan.

C.The appearance of fashionable lines.

D.The biggest geoglyphs in the world.

“We’ll give you twenty-four hours to think about i t,” Mom said as she handed me the sheet of demands.Her skin was dark,having absorbed three weeks of thick July sunlight,and she looked five years younger.She walked back across the yard and began toying with the awning(帐蓬的蓬)of the tent.Dad lay on the overgrown grass,tongue running across his mustache as he dragged a paintbrush over a new sign.He saw me looking,gave a cocky smirk,and held it up: PARENTS LOCAL #0001 ON STRIKE!

It was their third week on strike and life in the house had gotten rough.Dirty clothes piled up in the hallways,with a horrible smell from the dishwasher.The eighty dollars a week Aunt Lynn gave Emmie and me for food limited our grocery shopping to the 7-11,and the same meals everyday left us bloated and half-nauseous.Mom and Dad had taken the keys to the car,leaving us to bike or walk our way across town on the few nights we wanted to hang out with friends; we couldn’t invite anyone over,not after the two-person human chain they had formed to block the front door had scared away my friend Chuck enough to keep him from coming back.They had even managed to scare away Grandma,yelling “Scab! Scab!” when she tried to walk up the front path with a few plates of fried chicken.

The mood inside the house almost matched the smell.I blamed Emmie for pushing Mom too far with the constant complaining about the vegetables in her homemade Cobb salads or the complaints when Mom bought honeysuckle-scented shampoo instead of summer peach.She accused me,correctly,of not helping matters when I allowed the grass to grow to an unacceptable length after Dad’s repeated requests to cut it.This all came after the Orlando vacation we had to end early after my misbehavior got us kicked out of Disney World.Looking back,the morning we awoke to find them marching across the lawn,holding signs that read UNGRATEFUL CHILDREN = HATEFUL CHILDREN and NO RESPECT,NO PARENTS/KNOW RESPECT,KNOW PARENTS was much more surprising than it should have been.It took us until that night to realize it wasn’t a joke.

I read their demands,writ ten on the back of a Publisher’s Clearing house envelope and signed by both of them.Two car uses per day with a maximum of ten per week.Set allowance at

one dollar per year of age.Chore ignorance resulted in an immediate twenty-five percent allowance reduction.Zero tolerance whining policy.I tossed it into the overflowing trash basket.

That night,after Emmie returned from the Goodwill store,we discussed it.“That means I’d only get thirteen dollars a week!” she said,digging into her bare arm with her fingernails.“That’s not even enough to go to a movie.”

“Yeah,and I’d only get seventeen.” Couldn’t fill a car up with gas, if I’d had one.“Listen,though.They have to start teaching again in early August.No way they can stay outside then.They can’t work without showers or computers or a comfortable bed.”

She threw me a desperate look.Her green eyes peeked out from behind her puffy cheeks.“Two more weeks?” she asked,biting the inside of her lip.

I nodded as I looked onto the lawn.A solitary light shone in their tent,casting an orange halo onto the driveway within which their blurry silhouettes(轮廓)danced.T could hear their laughter from inside.Two more weeks,I thought,two more weeks.

66.What does the underlined phrase “on strike” mean in the passage?

A.parents refused to perform their duties as parents.

B.children decided to take chaise of the house.

C.parents and children are arguing with each other.

D.children are free to do anything they want.

67.After declaring they were on strike,Mom and father .

A.managed to stay inside the house.

B.required their demands to be met

C.became lazier and lazier.

D.gave up within four weeks.

68.Mom and Dad is determined to strike because their children are .

A.horrible and independent

B.hopeless and determined

C.ungrateful and dependent

D.ungrateful and determined

69.How did the children respond to their parents’ strike three weeks later?

A.They decided to give in and let parents have their way.

B.They tried to hang on there for another two weeks.

C.They were waiting for their parents to call for help.

D.They still couldn’t believe their parents were on strike.

70.The strike probably would last .

A.three weeks

B.two weeks

C.five weeks

D.six weeks

第Ⅱ卷（非选择题二部分共35分）

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。每个空格只填一个单词。

Why do some people live to be older than others? You know the standard explanations: keeping a moderate diet,engaging in regular exercise,etc.But what effect does your personality ，have on your longevity (长寿)？Do some kinds of personalities lead to longer lives? A new study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society looked at this question by examining the personality characteristics of 246 children of people who had lived to be at least 100.

The study shows that those living the longest are more outgoing,more active and less neurotic (神经质的)than other people.Long-living women are also more likely to be sympathetic and cooperative than women with a normal life span.These findings are in agreement with what you would expect from the evolutionary theory: those who like to make friends and help others can gather enough resources to make it through tough times.

Unfortunately,another recent study shows that your mother’s personality may al so help determine your longevity.That study looked at nearly 28,000 Norwegian mothers and found that those moms who were more anxious,depressed and angry were likely to feed their kids unhealthy diets.Patterns of childhood eating can be hard to break when we’re adults,which may mean that kids of depressed moms end up dying younger.

Whether you can successfully change your personality as an adult is a longstanding debate of psychology.But the new paper suggests that if you want long life,you should strive to be as outgoing as possible.

Personality isn’t destiny (命运),and everyone knows that individuals can learn to change.But both studies show that long life isn’t just a matter of your physical health but of your mental health.

Your 74 ▲. personality contributing to longevity ? Those living the longest are more outgoing,more active and less

75 ▲to the outside stimulation(刺激).

? Women w ho show 76 ▲for others and are cooperative are likely to live longer.

Your mother’s personality? Moms who show more 77▲depression and anger 78

▲to feed their kids unhealthy diets.

Conclusion ? Whether you can successfully change your pe rsonality as an adult is a

longstanding 79 ▲debate.Both studies show that long life is

the 80 ▲of physical health and mental health.
