Living just a few blocks from the beach, Natalie can see the ocean and hear the wave from her house. “It’s the ocean that makes Rockaway so special,” she says.On October 29, 2012, that ocean turned fierce. That night, Hurricane Sandy attacked the Ea st Coast, and Rockaway was hit especially hard. Fortunately, Natalie’s family escaped to Brooklyn shortly before the city’s bridge closed.When they returned to Rockaway the next day, they found their neighborhood in ruins. Many of Natalie’s friends had lo st their homes and were living far away. All around her, people were suffering, especially the elderly. Natalie’s school was so damaged that she had to temporarily attend a school in Brooklyn.In the following few days, the men and women helping Rockaway recover inspired Natalie. V olunteers came with carloads of donated clothing and toys. Neighbors devoted their spare time to helping others rebuild. Teenagers climbed dozens of flights of stairs to deliver water and food to elderly people trapped in powerless high-rise buildings.“My mom tells me that I can’t control what happens to me,” Natalie says. “but I can always choose how I deal with it.”Natalie’s choice was to help.She created a website page matching survivors in need with donors who wanted to help. Natalie posted introduction about a boy named Patrick, who lost his baseball card collecting when his house burned down. Within days, Patrick’s collection wasreplaced.In the coming months, her website page helped lots of kids: Christopher, who received a new basketball; Charlie, who got a new keyboard. Natalie also worked with other organizations to bring much-need supplies to Rockaway. Her efforts made her a famous person. Last April, she was invited to the White House and honored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change.Today, the scars(创痕)of destruction are still seen in Rockaway, but hope is in the air. The streets are clear, and many homes have been rebuilt. “I can’t imagine living anywhere but Rockaway,” Natalie declares. “My neighborhood will be b ack, even stronger than before.”4. When Natalie returned to Rockaway after the hurricane, she found______.A. some friends had lost their livesB. her neighborhood was destroyedC. her school had moved to BrooklynD. the elderly were free from suffering5. According to paragraph4, who inspired Natalie most?A. The people helping Rockaway rebuildB. The people trapped in high rise buildingC. The volunteers donating money to survivorsD. Local teenagers bringing clothing to elderly people6. How did Natalie help the survivors?A. She gave her toys to the kidsB. She took care of younger childrenC. She called on the White House to helpD. She built an information sharing platform7. What does the story intend to tell us?A. Little people can make a big differenceB.A friend in need is a friend indeedC. East or West, home is bestD. Technology is powerCWealth starts with a goal saving a dollar at a time. Call it the piggy bank strategy(策略). There are lessons in that time-honored coin-saving container.Any huge task seems easier when reduced to baby steps. I f you wished to climb a 12,000-foot mountain, and could do it a day at a time, you would only have to climb 33 feet daily to reach the top in a year. If you want to take a really nice trip in 10 years for a special occasion, to collect the $15,000 cost, you have to save $3.93 a day. If you drop that into a piggy bank and then once a year put $1,434 in a savings account at 1% interest rate after-tax, you will have your trip money.When I was a child, my parents gave me a piggy bank to teach me that, if I wanted something, I should save money to buy it. We associate piggy banks with children, but in many countries, the little containers are also popular with adults. Europeans see a piggy bank as a sign of good fortune and wealth. Around the world, many believe a gift of a piggy bank on New Year’s Day brings good luck and financial success. Ah, but you have to put something in it.Why is a pig used as a symbol of saving? Why not an elephant bank, which is bigger and holds more coins? In the Middle Ages, before modern banking and credit instruments, people saved money at home, a few coins at a time dropped into a jar or dish. Potters(制陶工) made these inexpensive containers from an orange-colored clay(黏土) called “pygg,” and folks saved coins in pygg jars.The Middle English word for pig was “pigge”. While the Saxons pronounced pygg, referring to the clay, as “pug”, eventually the two words changed into the same pronunciation, sounding the “i” as in pig or piggy. As the word became less associated with the orange clay and more with the animal, a clever potter fashioned a pygg jar in the shape of a pig, delighting children and adults. The piggy bank was born.Originally you had to break the bank to get to the money, bringing in a sense of seriousness into savings. While piggy banks teach children the wisdom of saving, adults often need to relearn childhood lessons. Think about the things in life that require large amounts of money--- college education, weddings, cars, medical care, starting a business, buying a home, and fun stuff like great trips. So when you have money, take off the top 10%, put it aside, save and invest wisely.8. What is the piggy bank strategy?A. Paying 1% income tax at a time.B. Setting a goal before making a travel plan.C. Aiming high even when doing small things.D. Putting aside a little money regularly for future use.9. Why did the writer’s parents give him a piggy bank as a gift?A. To delight him with the latest fashion.B. To encourage him to climb mountains.C. To help him form the habit of saving.D. To teach him English pronunciation.10. What does then underlined word “something”(Para. 3) most probably refer to?A. MoneyB. GiftsC. Financial successD. Good luck11. The last paragraph talks about ________.A. the seriousness of educating childrenB. the enjoyment of taking a great tripC. the importance of managing moneyD. the difficulty of starting a businessDTransparent（透明的）animals let light pass through their bodies the same way light passes through a window. These animals typically live between the surface of the ocean and a depth of about 3,300 feet—as far as most light can reach. Most of them are extremely delicate and can be damaged by a simple touch. Sonke Johnsen, a scientist in biology, says, “These animals live through their life alone. They never touch anything unless they’re eating it, or unless something is eating them.”And they are as clear as glass. How does an animal become see-through? It’s trickier than you might think.The objects around you are visible because they interact with light. Light typically travels in a straight line. But some materials slow and scatter(散射) light, bouncing it away from its original path. Others absorb light, stopping it dead in its tracks. Both scattering and absorption make an object look different from other objects around it, so you can see it easily.But a transparent object doesn’t absorb or scatter lig ht, at least not very much, Light can pass through it without bending or stopping. That means a transparent object doesn’t look very different from the surrounding air or water. You don’t see it ----you see the things behind it.To become transparent, an animal needs to keep its body from absorbing orscattering light. Living materials can stop light because they contain pigments(色素) that absorb specific colors of light. But a transparent animal doesn’t have pigments, so its tissues won’t absorb light. Acco rding to Johnsen, avoiding absorption is actually easy. The real challenge is preventing light from scattering.Animals are built of many different materials----skin, fat, and more----and light moves through each at a different speed. Every time light moves into a material with a new speed, it bends and scatters. Transparent animals use different tricks to fight scattering. Some animals are simply very small or extremely flat. Without much tissue to scatter light, it is easier to be see—through. Others build a large, clear mass of non-living jelly-lie(果冻状的)material and spread themselves over it .Larger transparent animals have the biggest challenge, because they have to make all the different tissues in their bodies slow down light exactly as much as water does. They need to look uniform. But how they’re doing it is still unknown. One thing is clear for these larger animals, staying transparent is an active process. When they die, they turn a non-transparent milky white.12. According to Paragraph 1, transparent animals_______.A. stay in groupsB. can be easily damagedC. appear only in deep oceanD. are beautiful creatures13. The underlined word “dead” in Paragraph 3 means__________.A. silentlyB. graduallyC. regularlyD. completely14. One way for an animal to become transparent is to ________.A. change the direction of light travelB. gather materials to scatter light.C. avoid the absorption of lightD. grow bigger to stop light.15. The last paragraph tells us that larger transparent animals________.A. move more slowly in deep waterB. stay see-through even after deathC. produce more tissues for their survivalD. take effective action to reduce light spreading第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Punks, Ravers, Mods and Teddy Boys． No, these aren't some hot new bands, but the names of a number of British youth subcultures（亚文化） from the last 70 years．Youth Club, a UK not﹣for﹣profit organization, released a book earlier this year celebrating many different subcultures from throughout Britain s recent history．"A catalyst（催化剂） for creativity on the worldwide stage, British youth culture movements from the Teddy Boys of the 1950s to the grime Scene of the 2000s continue to play a pioneering role in music, fashion and creativity across the globe, " it wrote on its website．These subcultures were traditionally a way for young people to show their personalities to others． Walking around London in the 1970s would have meant seeing dozens of young "punks" ﹣ people dressed in ripped denim（破洞牛仔裤）, leather jackets, body piercings （穿孔） and with brightly﹣dyed hair﹣on the streets． And in the90s, "ravers" were young people who threw all﹣night parties in abandoned buildings or car parks．So, what was the reason behind these subcultures?"On both sides of the Atlantic, more and more young disappointed teenagers were looking for an escape from the boredom and constraints（约束）of society, "wrote lan Youngs, BBC entertainment reporter． "Unemployment, racial tensions and social upheaval （剧变）added fuel to their fires．"Youth subcultures have all but disappeared in the West． Some experts believe the reason for this is the instant and low﹣priced availability of music and clothing in the internet age． "Fashion and music, they're much cheaper and they're much faster today, " Ruth Adams, a culture lecturer at Kings College London told The Guardian．"When I was a teenager, you had to stick to one type of music or fashion, because it cost more money． Now, it' s all a bit more blurry（模糊不清的）, " she said, believing that it's harder to figure out someone's personality or music tastes nowadays just by looking at them． Despite this, Adams believes that today's young people are still finding their own way to express themselves, but in a more modern way．"It's certainly happening online, " she said． "It's a lot easier to use personas（伪装）online just by showcasing certain types of mysterious knowledge．"（1）According to the text， British youth subcultures________．A could be traced back to the 1970s．B were started by Youth Club to promote creativity．C were a way for youth to express their identities．D had a greater impact on fashion than music．（2）What contributed to the popularity of these youth subcultures？________a． Young people's desire for freedom and fun．b． Young people's longing for fame and wealth．c． The social pressure young people suffered．d． The easy access to music and clothing．A a b．B a c．C b d．D c d．（3）Which of the following would Ruth Adams probably agree with？________A Music and fashion trends develop too fast for young people to follow today．B Young people today are less willing to express themselves as her peers did．C Young people today are less interested in music and fashion than her peers used to be．D The internet makes it harder to figure out the personalities of young people today．（4）What's the author' s attitude toward subcultures？________A Objective．B Negative．C Doubtful．D Supportive．3. It's a classroom; but instead of being told to sit quietly and listen, you are encouraged to stand up, jump around, imagine and act out it's a class full of laughter and applause（掌声）, emotion and energy． Welcome to drama class, one of my favorite classes at high school．In drama class we used to play a lot of" drama games． We would improvise（即兴表演）, mime（模仿） and above all use our imaginations．My favorite game was called "Spotto"． One person stood at the front of the class and performed a scene, completely out of their imagination． When one audience member yelled "Spotto!", the performer had to ________． Then the person who had yelled Spotto had to get up and improvise a new scenario （剧情）based on the position the first performer froze in． This went on as more and more people were added to the scene．Eventually the entire class would have joined the scene． Then the performers would start to leave in reverse（颠倒的）order． The first performer had to have a good memory to remember all the other scenes．It was a lot of fun, and a good test of everyone's imagination to see what they would come up with．Drama class at my school often involved a big performance at the end of the semester as well． We would work on a production throughout the semester and put on a show for our parents and the school community．It was a great experience to perform on stage in front of a large audience． Drama class can help shy children to come out of their shells． It helped me become more confident and developed my public speaking skills． Drama class is also a great place to express yourself, and a way for children to use up some of their energy．（1）Which of the following statements is TRUE about the game "Spotto" as described in the article？________A "Spotto" is designed to help drama students lean from one another's performance．B A performer has to think of a story completely unrelated to that of the performer before him or her．C Each performer in a "Spotto" game has to retell the story of the performer directly after him or her．D Every student gets the chance to make a contribution to the "Spotto" game．（2）The underlined word "freeze" in Paragraph 3 probably means________．A stop．B quit．C change．D wait．（3）We can infer from the article that the author________．A Doesn't like to sit quietly in class．B never performed well in the drama games．C used to be quite a shy student．D used to shine in performances．（4）What is the article mainly about？________A Unforgettable experiences on stage．B One of the author's favorite high school courses．C How to improve your drama skills．D A few drama games for fun．4. Think of the empty cities in zombie（僵尸）movies． The streets, the shops and the schools still there just like they would be on a normal day, except there are no people to be seen． It is the emptiness that scares you．Now a real﹣life "ghost city" is being built in the US． But fortunately, it has nothing to do with zombies ﹣ it is going to be a place to test the technology of the futureCalled CITE ﹣ the Center for Innovation（创新）, Testing and Evaluation（测评）﹣ the city is the idea of technology company Pegasus Global Holdings． Covering an area of 15 square miles （39 square kilometers）, it is the size of a small US city and sits in the middle of the New Mexico desert．But why do we need an empty city that nobody will call home?The reason is that we can't afford to test the latest technologies in the cities that we live in ﹣ they might not be ready and could cause problems and danger in our everyday lives．"It will be a true laboratory without the problems and safety issues that come with people living there． Here you can break things and run into things, and get used to how they work, before taking them out into the market, Pegasus managing director Robert Brumley told technology magazine Wired．In fact, without worrying about hurting people, anybody with a new idea can ask to test it in this city． Just think about the possibilities﹣ driverless cars can move freely on the streets, homes with robots can be designed and energy sources like nuclear power can also be put to the test．As good as the idea may seem, however, there are still doubts about CITE． "One of the most difficult things to do when developing these new technologies is to have them safely move around people, who can suddenly jump out in front of something, " Reese Jones, a founder of Singularity University, US, told Fortune magazine．Jones is worried that, even if a technology works perfectly well in CITE, introducing it to a real city will still be a whole different story because there will be people living in the city． But no matter what, perhaps we should wait until CITE is finished in 2018． Maybe it will turn out to work just fine．（1）The empty city is being built________．A so people can experience the technology of the future．B to try driverless cars and robots in．C to test new technology in．D as a place full of the latest technology．（2）Which of the following statements is TRUE about CITE？________A It is located beside the New Mexico desert．B It was started by SingularityUniversity． C Things in the city can easily be broken down and builtagain． D Anyone can ask to try out their new designs there．（3）According to Jones，________．A CITE offers great possibilities for future technologyB new technologies will work perfectly well with the help of CITE．C settings in CITE should be real in order to create the best results．D testing results in CITE may not prove to work in a real city．（4）What is the main purpose of this article？________A To explain why CITE could be very helpful．B To show that CITE has a bright future．C To explain CITE and problems it may have．D To offer a good solution that will help to develop future technologies．第二节（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．答案写在答题卡上．5.

AWelcome to Orlando! It has a host of attractions and activities. Ready to join the party and plan a visit to O-Town? Just print out our list that suits your style.Universal Orlando’s Islands of AdventureThe addition of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter was among the list of must-visits for theme park enthusiasts. Each of the park’s “islands” —Toon Lagoon, Jurassic Park, and The Lost Continent — has unique appeal in the form of rides and interactive attractions. (407-363-8000)GatorlandIt bills itself as “Orlando’s best half-day attraction”, for in a city people are limited by their time and money. Catch Gatorland’s animals an d handler（驯化）shows in the afternoon. There’s a nighttime run as well, including the Gator Night Shine and various activities. Gatorland ranks as a comparative theme-park bargain. (407-855-5496)AquaticaOne of the city’s most unique water parks, Aquatica is a fantastical world of twisting, turning rides and sparkling white sand beaches. And if you enjoy a side of terror with your water-park fun, be sure to check out Ihu’s Breakaway Falls. This towering slide is an eight-story mind-bender of a plummet（垂直落下） that is not for the weak heart. The less exciting will still find plenty of fun splashing from one giant wave pool to another or drifting down the lazy river through a world of unusual fish. You can also watch the black-and-white Commerson’s dolphins unde rwater. (407-351-3600)Warbird AdventuresFew attractions are more hands-on historic than Warbird Adventures, which offers thrill-seekers the opportunity to fly like the hero aces of World War II in the North American T-6 Texan. Flights range from 15 minutes to an hour. A visit to the nearbyKissimmee Air Museum is a wonderful way to round out the experience. (407-870-7366)1. For fans of Harry Potter, there’s _____.A. Universal Orlando’s Islands of AdventureB. GatorlandC. AquaticaD. Warbird Adventures2. According to the fourth paragraph, we know Ihu’s Breakaway Falls _____.A. needs a strong heartB. lies under the waterC. ranges from 15 minutes to an hourD. is suitable for some after-park drinks3. If you want to experience the fly like a hero in World War II, you can call ______.A. 407-363-8000B. 407-855-5496C. 407-351-3600D. 407-870-7366BA handsome middle-aged man walked quietly into the café and sat down. Bef ore he ordered, he couldn’t help but noticed a group of younger men at the table next to him. It was obvious they were making fun of something about him and it wasn’t until he remembered he was wearing a small pink ribbon(丝带) on the lapel （翻领）of his suit that he became aware of what the joke was all about.The man pretended not to notice it, but the whisper and laughter began to get to him. He looked one of the rude young men straight into the eye, placed his hand beneath t he ribbon and asked, “This?”With that the young men all began to laugh out loud. The man he spoke to said, “Hey, sorry, man, but we were just commenting on how pretty your little pink ribbon looks against your blue jacket!”The middle-aged man calmly invited the joker to come over to his table, and politely seated him. As uncomfortable as he was, the young guy had to, not really sure why. In a soft voice, the middle-aged man said, “I wear this ribbon to bring awareness about breast cancer. I wear it in my mother’s honor.”“Oh, sorry. She died of breast cancer?”“No, she didn’t. She’s alive and well. But her breasts nourished me as a baby, and were a soft resting place for my head when I was scared or lonely as a little boy. I’m very grateful for my mother’s breasts, and her health.”“Umm,” the young replied, “yeah.”“And I wear this ribbon to honor my wife,” the man continued.“And she’s okay, too?” the young guy asked.“Oh, yes. She’s fine. Her breasts have been a great source of loving pleasure for both of us, and with them she nurtured and nourished our daughter 23 years ago. I’m grateful for my wife’s breasts, and her health.”“Uh, huh. And I guess you wear it to honor your daughter, also?”“No. It’s too late to honor my daughter by wearing it now ……”Sha ken and ashamed, the young guy said, “Oh, I’m so sorry, mister.”“So, in my daughter’s memory, too, I proudly wear this little ribbon, which allows me the opportunity to enlighten others. And here…” With this, he reached in his pocket and handed the young man a little pink ribbon. The young guy looked at it, slowly raised his head and asked, “……?”4. The young men joked about the middle-aged man’s _____.A. looksB. ribbonC. attitudeD. clothes5. What may have happened to the man’s daughter?A. She died of breast cancer.B. She was ill with cancer.C. She had gone abroad.D. She got married.6. What will the young man probably ask?A. May I give it to my mother?B. Can you help me put it on?C. Will you please forgive me?D. Shall we have some drink together?7. What is the best title for the passage?A. An Unusual Meeting.B. An Impressive Lesson.C. Be Grateful to Your Beloved.D. Little Pink RibbonCJohn D. Rockefeller once said, “The ability to deal with people is as purchasable a commodity (日用品) as sugar or coffee. And I will pay more for that ability than for any other under the sun. ”Wouldn’t you suppose that every college in the land would conduct courses to develop the highest-priced ability under the sun? But if there was one, it would not escape my attention.The University of Chicago conducted a survey to determine what adults want tostudy. That survey cost $ 25,000 and took two years. The last part of the survey was made in Meriden, Connecticut. It had been chosen as a typical American town. Every adult in Meriden was interviewed and requested to answer 156 questions such as “What is your business or profession? Your education? How do you spend your spare time? What is your income? Your hobbies? Your ambitions? Your problems? What subjects are you most interested in studying?” and so on. That survey revealed that health is the prime interest of adults and that their second interest is people; how to understand and get along with people; how to make people like you; and how to win others to your way of thinking.So the committee conducting this survey decided to conduct such a course for adults in Meriden. They searched for a practical textbook on the subject and found none. Finally they approached one of the world’s outstanding authorities on adult education and asked him if he knew of any book that met the needs of this group. “No,” he replied, “I know what those adults want. But the book they need has never been written.”I knew from experience that this statement was true, for I myself had been searching for years to discover a practical handbook on human relations. Since no such book existed, I have tried to write one for use in my own courses. And here it is. I hope you like it.8. What does John D. Rockefeller suggest about the ability to deal with people?A. It is as easy as drinking a coffee.B. It is very important in everyday life.C. It is affordable for everybody.D. It is more expensive than expected.9. What is the purpose of the survey conducted by the University of Chicago?A. To find out what adults desire to learn.B. To show what the adults’ ambitions are.C. To identify what skill is most needed for adults.D. To explain what changed people’s life.10. What challenge did the committee have to face when conducting the course?A. Less financial support.B. No proper textbook available.C. Fewer qualified teachers.D. Lack of enough appeal.11. We can learn that the author wrote a book about .A. conducting a scientific surveyB. changing your way of thinkingC. developing good human relationsD. giving a practical business courseD2017 was an influential year for artificial intelligence (人工智能), not just in terms of the advancement of the technology itself, but also for the development of our understanding of AI’s impact on our society.When we talk about AI, often we focus on the belief that it is going to take away certain types of jobs. However, we often ignore the fact that this technology will also slowly spread into most of our lives.Thanks to the development of AI, we are on the highway of IA, (human) intelligence augmentation (增强). Despite the great steps we’ve made in AI development and will continue to make in 2018, we are still years away from AI fully replacing human jobs. However, we are much closer to seeing the impact of AI spread into almost every job and the growth in human intelligence.Take a doctor for example: AI will soon be able to detect and diagnose common diseases more quickly and accurately than humans. Now, doctors can spend more of their time explaining the possible diagnoses, communicating with patients and developing unique, reliable treatment plans that are most effective for each specific patient.However, AI is so powerful and its adoption will only accelerate as it begins to help our work and allow us to focus on the parts of our job that are most important. But part of why AI is so attractive is also why it’s so dangerous. That is, that same power allows AI that are making incorrect decisions to do so with greater speed and impact than humans have ever had.This is why, as AI becomes more useful in 2018, it will also become more closely examined. 2018 will be the year when companies purchasing AI products don’t just ask about the power of AI—they will make sure that it is tested carefully in advance, minimizing their potential unexpected impact.12. What does the author suggest in the first two paragraphs?A. Many jobs should be replaced by AI in the future.B. People should think more about the impact of AI.C. AI is too abstract for ordinary people to understand.D. People care little about the development of AI.13. The author takes the example of “the doctor” to explain that .A. AI always makes right decisionsB. doctors will lose their jobs very soonC. human intelligence grows with AID. humans are no better than AI in medicine14. What will be the focus about AI in 2018 according to the author’s prediction?A. The safety of AI.B. The possibility of replacing humans.C. Cost reduction.D. Power augmentation.15. What is the author’s attitude towards AI?A. Indifferent.B. Negative.C. Doubtful.D. Objective.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Nearpod can be used to_____.A. offer grammar testsB. teach listening on-lineC. help vocabulary learningD. gain fluency in speaking2.

TEO.D. Prezi.4. A teacher who wants to learn on-line teaching is expected to arrive by ______.A. 9:00 a.m.B. 10:30 a.m.C. 2:00 p.m.D. 3:30 p.m.BI go out of my way to say “thank you” to my partner frequently, and he’s the same way. We were both raised by parents who valued politeness, and more than that, I want to do all those little things that psychologists say help couples stay together. Expressing gratitude is one of t hose things, so a quick “thanks” seems like an easy one.But according to a recent study, we’re not at all typical. The study looked at over 1,000 recordings of casual conversations among families and close friends. In only about one out of 20 times were expressions of thanks observed. Phrases that meant “thanks” but weren’t a direct translation of the word were counted, including physical gestures of thanks.The researchers looked at a wide variety of people from different places, representing eight languages: Polish, Russian, Italy, English, Murrinh-patha (an Aboriginal language), Cha’ palaa, Lao and Siwu.The Brits thanked people close to them the most, about 14.5 percent of the time, and close behind them were the Italians at 13.5 percent. The Murrinh-patha came next at 4.0 percent and following them were the Russians, the Polish, the Laotians and the Siwu speakers. The lowest? Well, the Cha’ palaa speakers of Ecuador don’t have a word for “thank you” at all.As the linguists explained, “Expressing thanks, in some cultures, is more of a linguistic tradition than a true expression of feelings. In cultures where thanksare less often said, it’s because social cooperation is taken for granted, and ‘thank you’ isn’t really needed or necessary. ”The idea that you don’t need to thank others because it’s assumed that you’re appreciative is beautiful. But it is a bit hard for me to accept. So I’ll keep saying “thanks” as frequently as I do. But as a frequent traveler, I’ll keep in mind to watch the local custom and follow suit.5. What might be psychologists’ opinion about expressing thanks?A. It can show a person’s values.B. It is passed down from parents.C. It can contribute to close relationship.D. It is a little and unnecessary thing.6. What is typical among family members according to the study?A. They seldom express thanks.B. They say thanks at any time.C. They often show thanks using gestures.D. They often use indirect translation of thanks.7. Who never say “thank you”?A. The Polish.B. The Italians.C. The Russians.D. The Cha’ palaa.8. What is mainly talked about in the text?A. Family members don’t need to thank each other.B. People thank close friends and family less.C. Close friends have different ways to express thanks.D. Different cultures have different ways to express thanks.CLike toolmaking, teaching was once thought to be an exclusive(独有的) capacity of the human mind. It is not actually.“Teaching” requires this: one individual must take time from their own task to demonstrate and instruct with effort and the student must lear n a new skill. That’s a tall order.When a young chimpanzee watches a skilled adult and then imitates (模仿), that’slearning. But the adult has not taken time specifically to instruct, so it is not teaching. In the honeybees’ amazing dance, the dancer takes time to indicate information about a source of food, but observers learn no new skill. They do take time to show, but they do not pass on new skills to learners.Dolphins teach. Atlantic spotted dolphin mothers sometimes free a caught fish in the presence of their youngsters and let their youngsters chase it, catching it again if it’s getting away. Dolphin youngsters also position themselves alongside mothers who are scanning sandy bottoms for hidden fish, and the mother spends extra time demonstrating.Other teachers include: housecats who bring back live prey and let their young learn to catch it, and meerkats (猫鼬)who first bring to their growing young dead scorpions (蝎子), then disabled ones, to demonstrate how to remove the poisonous part on their tails.Like toolmaking and teaching, imitation is also considered to reflect high intelligence. In South Africa lived a baby dolphin named Dolly. One day while she was just six months old, Dolly was watching a trainer standing at the window smoking a cigarette, blowing puffs of smoke. Dolly swam to her mother, got a mouthful of milk, then returned to the window and released a cloud of milk that surrounded her head. The trainer was “absolutely astonished”.Somehow Dolly came up with the idea of using milk to represent smoke. Using one thing to represent something else isn’t just imitation. It is art.9. What does the underlined phrase “a tall order” probably mean in paragraph 2?A. A clear instruction.B. A high risk.C. A useful purpose.D. A difficult requirement.10. What do we know about honeybees’ dance?A. Imitating.B. Learning.C. Presenting.D. Teaching.11. What can we infer about animals that can teach?A. Bees show their dance to younger generations.B. Young dolphins must learn how to free a fish.C. Housecats teach in a way similar to dolphins.D. Meerkats have poisonous parts on the tails.12. Why does the author use Dolly’s example?A. To prove smoking can affect other animals.B. To show animals can be surprisingly intelligent.C. To explain dolphins are capable of making art.D. To stress milk is to dolphins what smoking is to men.DWhen there are some strangers in front of us, which of them will we trust?According to a new study in the online PLOS One, people make their decisions to trust others largely based on their faces. Your appearance can do a lot for you, especially if you are in the financial（金融） industry. The more trustworthy you look, the more likely people will buy what you’re selling.Researchers from Britain’s University of Warwick Business School, University College London, and Dartmouth College, US, did a number of experiments.The research team used computer software to make 40 faces, from the least to the most trustworthy-looking.The study said that the difference between a trustworthy face and one that isn’t as trustworthy comes from features that look slightly angry or slightly happy, even when the face is at rest. However, a slightly happy face is more likely to be trusted.Researchers gave participants some money and asked them which face they trusted to invest the money. Then researchers gave some good and bad information about the people with these faces, and asked the participants again whom they trusted.The results showed that even if they got different information, the participants didn’t change their choices. They were still more likely to invest their money with the more trustworthy-looking faces.Chris Olivola, one of the study’s authors, said in the University of Warwick’s press release: “It seems that we are still willing to go with our own instincts (本能) about whether we think someone looks like we can trust them. The temptation (诱惑) to judge strangers by their faces is hard to resist.”13. According to the study, which of the following faces is most likely to be trusted?A. A sad face.B. An angry face.C. A crying face.D. A smiling face.14. Which of the following about the experiment is TRUE?A. The trustworthy faces were given good information.B. Researchers took photos of the 40 people’s faces in college.C. Participants liked to choose the faces with good information.D. Most participants gave their money to the trustworthy-looking faces.15.

AWhen it was announced that Patrick Modiano had won the Nobel Prize in Literature on Oct.9, the Swedish Academy had not yet managed to reach the writer himself to tell him the news. as the Telegraph put it, “It was a curious case of missing personhood in an author whose career had been spent in searching others, within the confines (界限) of a single city.”Though the 69-year-old French author has had a successful writing career, only six of his books have been translated into English. One reason for this might be that “Modiano’s storylines are as slim as the books themselves”, said the BBC.While most of Modiano’s works don’t r un for hundreds of pages, they explore serious subjects. The author’s signature themes are Germany’s occupation during World War II and the evolution of Paris over the past century.Modiano’s life has been greatly affected by Nazi Germany’s occupation during the war, and his family’s connections to it. According to New York-based newspaper Forward, his father survived the war dishonorably. When Paris’s Jews were rounded up for deportation(驱逐)to concentration camps, the businessman did not join them but spent the time making money from deals with Nazis on the black market.“The novelist has a duty to record the traces of the people who were made to disappear,” French writer Clemence Boulouque, also an expert in Jewish Studies, told The New York magazine.In his more than three dozen novels, Modiano has returned again and to the same themes: Jewishness, the Nazi occupation, and loss of identity.Paris is another recurring(重复的)theme in Modiano’s works .Most of his novels are set in the city , from the rich parts of downtown Paris to more remote suburbs where the characters try to live anonymous protect lives.Anne Ghisoli, the director of Librairie Gallimard, a bookstore in Paris, concluded, “Modiano is a master of writing on memory and occupation, which haunt(萦绕)and inform his works. He is a chronicler(年代记录者)of Paris ,its streets, and its present.”21.According to the article, Patrick Modiano ____________.A. likes to involve his his memories in his writingB. usually writes stories with disappearing peopleC. is so popular that post of his works are on saleD. didn’t suffer much during World War II thanks to his father22.The underline word “slim” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ____.A. thinB. hardC. simpleD. dull23.Which of the following can be the best title?A. French Author’s SurpriseB. Modiano’s Life and His BooksC. World War II and the NazisD. Memory Author Wins the NobelBR.U.Darby and his uncle were digging for gold in the West. After weeks of labor, he was rewarded when he discovered shining ore(矿石). He needed machinery to bring the ore to the surface. So he borrowed money from his relatives and neighbors and went back to work on the mine.The first car of ore was mined and sent to a smelter. The gold that they got in return proved they had one of the richest mines in Colorado! A few more cars of that ore would clear the debts. Then would come the big profits.Down went the drills! Up went the hopes of Darby and Uncle! Then something happened! The vein of gold ore disappeared! The pot of gold was no longer there! They drilled on, desperately trying to pick up the vein again, but they found nothing.Finally, they decided to quit. They sold the machinery to a man for a few hundred dollars, and took the train back home. That man asked a mining engineer to look at the mine and do a little calculating. The engineer said that the project had failed because the owners were not familiar with “fault lines(裂纹线)”. His ca lculations showed that the vein would be found just three feet from where it was found.The man took millions of dollars in ore from the mine, because he knew enough to ask for expert advice before giving up.R.U. Darby was struggling for years to pay back the money from his relatives and neighbors. He went into the business of selling life insurance.Remembering that he lost a huge fortune because he stopped three feet from gold, Darby profited from the experience in his chosen work, by the simple method o f saying to himself , “I stopped three feet from gold, but I will never stop because men say 'no' when I ask them to buy insurance.”Darby is part of a small group of fewer than 50 men who sell more than a million dollars in life insurance every year. His “stick-ability” comes from the lesson he learned from his “quit-ability” in the gold mining business.24.Darby and his uncle stopped digging for gold because___A. They didn’t have the machinery to dig for the oreB. They didn’t have enough money to man age the mineC. They had already had enough gold and made big profitsD. They had tried to find the vein of gold again, but it was in vain.25.What was a good quality of the man who worked on the mine after Darby and his uncle?A. He knew the machinery better than the Darbys.B. He knew the importance of seeking expert advice.C. He had very strong stick-ability and never gave up.D. He was good at calculations and familiar with fault lines.26.What happened to Darby in the end?A. He became a very successful businessman.B. He worked as an ordinary salesman selling life insurance.C. He struggled for the rest of his life to pay back the money he had borrowed.D. He lived an easy life with all the money he had earned from the gold.27.What is the main message that the author intends to convey with the story?A. One is never too late to start a new career.B.

ScienceDPolar bears are one of the most popular animals for people. Polar bears are different from every other bear in the world. This is because polar bears have white fur. However, there are many facts about polar bears that people might not be aware of .年The skin of polar bears is black, which according to allows them to absorb more heat from the sun. Polar bear fur is transparent , because it is made up of hollow guard hairs. explains that the reason polar bears display white fur is that when the sun hits the fur ,the hollow spaces in the hair scatter the light. Since none of the light is absorbed, the light reflected back appears white to human eyes.Polar bears’ conservation status is considered close to extinction. Global warming is considered the main cause of the decline in polar population. Polar bears use ice floats to hunt for their food.However, these ice floats are melting so polar bears are starting to drown in the search for food ,and the food is becoming more difficult to get. Contrary to popular belief, polar bears do not eat penguins ,because polar bears are not found in the Antarctic region of the world. Polar bears are only found around the Arctic Circle. Polar bears do not drink water. They get all the water they need from the prey they eat.FES. Gov specifies that polar bears are considered the largest land carnivores(食肉动物) in the world. The polar bear weight ranges between 700--1,500 pounds. Since the polar bear habitat is melting away, their main evolutionary advantages are fading. Polar bears are not able to use their camouflage(伪装) to find prey in habitats not covered with snow. Polar bears do not hibernate(冬眠). However, when the weather gets uncomfortable, or mothers give birth, polar bears will dig themselves a hidden home.What can we do to help save the polar bears? We can donate to organizations like the World Wildlife Fund, reduce our carbon footprint, and send letters to politicians explaining to them that we need to set up more preserves to help save the polar bear habitat.32.What do we know about the fur of the polar bears?A.

AQueensland is one of the most amazing states in Australia. It has some of the most beautiful natural scenery on the planet, with the Great Barrier Reef, rainforests and impressive beaches.The Great Barrier ReefIt is one of the world’s largest natural features. It stretches more tha n 2,300 km along the north eastern coast of Australia from the northern tip of Queensland to just north of Bundaberg. The things that most surprise visitors to the reef are the colors.Without doubt, the best way to see the Great Barrier Reef is by diving. If you have a little extra money and you are feeling a bit lazy, you can fly over the reef in a plane.Fraser IslandAnother area of natural beauty is Fraser Island. This is the world’s largest sand island. It’s best visited from Hervey Bay on the mainland, where there are a number of places offering trips around the island. To fully appreciate Fraser Island you should go for three or four days. Attractions include some beautiful fresh-water lakes, particularly Lake Wabby and Lake Mckenzie. You can walk around these on white sands untouched by human footprints. Indian Head also has some beautiful views. Braver travelers can go and watch sharks circling the water hundreds of meters below. The Whitsunday IslandsIt would be a pity to travel around Queensland without taking a trip around the Whitsunday Islands. They were named by Captain Cook in 1770, after the day on which he arrived. Here are some of the great things you can do there.●Cruise around them on a relaxing trip.●Take a sailing course.●Look at the aboriginal (土著的) paintings in caves on Hook Island.●Have fun in the water doing lots of water sports.So, will you be going to Queensland?1. The best way to admire the beauty of the Great Barrier Reefis .A. drivingB. taking aboatC. flying in a planeD. diving in the sea2. What can we infer from Fraser Island?A. Lake Wabby and Lake Mckenzie are rarely visited places.B. Only brave ones can watch sharks in the deep ocean.C. Few places on the mainland can offer trips around the island.D. One should have at least 2 days to fully explore Fraser Island.3. The purpose of writing this passage is . .A. to call on people to protect QueenslandB. to informthe latest newsC. to advertise for QueenslandD. to break a worldrecordBWe all think plants were expected to get larger with increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, but changes in temperature, humidity(湿度）and nutrient availability seem to have trumped the benefits of increased carbon dioxide” said researchers from the National University of Singapore.45 percent of the species studied now reach smaller adult sizes than they did in the past. The researchers pointed out that warmer temperatures and changing habitats, caused by climate change, are possible reasons for shrinking creatures.“ We do not yet know the mechanisms(机制）involved, or why some organism are getting smaller while others are unaffected,” the researchers said. “Until we understand more, we could be risking negative consequences that we can’t yet quantify. ’’The change is big in cold-blooded animals. Only two decades of warmer temperatures are enough to make retiles (爬行动物）smaller. An increase of only 1 degree centigrade caused nearly a 10 percent increase in metabolism(新陈代谢). Greater use of energy resulted in tiny tortoises and little lizards. Fish are smaller now too. Though overfishing has played a part in reducing numbers, experiments show that warmer temperatures also stop fish growing.Warm-blooded animals aren’t immune(免除）from the size change caused by climate change. Many birds are now smaller. Soay sheep are thinner. Red deer are weaken And polar bears are smaller, compared with historical records.This is not the first time this has happened in Earth’s history. 55 million years ago, a warming event similar to the current climate change caused bees, spiders and ants to shrink by 50 to 75 percent over several thousand years. That event happened over a longer time than the current climate change.The speed of modem climate change could mean organisms may not respond or adapt quickly enough, especially those with long generation times climate change will be shown in the future.4. What does the text mainly talk about______A. Why some species become smaller.B. How climate changes in Earth’s history?C. Climate change has many negative effects.D. Species are becoming smaller as climate gets warmer.5. The underlined word “trumped” in the first paragraph probably mean .A. strengthenedB. gainedC. beatD. equaled6. Researchers from the National University of Singapore believe thatA. they have found the exact causes for creatures getting smaller.B. all the animals on the earth have become smaller.。
