short videos recording her traditional lifestyle in China's countryside,among the list of the most popular Chinese-language content creators on the Internet.she was surprised by how foreign netizens were attracted by her works.“What I present is is just a lifestyle I've long followed and enjoyed,"she said.Maybe it's also what many other people have valued.Li’s YouTube videos center on her life with her grandmother in the rural parts of Sichuan Province.In the videos,Li,often dressed in beautiful traditional clothes rises at sunrise,rests at sunset, plants seeds and harvests flowers,cooks Chinese dishes and makes bamboo furniture.Unlike many other food bloggers,Li’s videos set China’s countryside as the stage and start with how the foods are planted and harvested in the farm.She rarely

most southern part of our planet,there's a place that's covered with snow and ice all year round.But it has the clearest and cleanest air.Amazingly,in this place,the sun sometimes hangs even in the midnight sky.Thisplace is Antarctica(南极洲):the coldest,windiest and harshest(恶劣的)place on the Earth.As the world's least-known place,Antarctica is of great interest to scientists around the world.In1983,China joined the Antarctic Treaty(《南极条约》).The treaty made Antarctica a peaceful place for member countries to do scientific research.During30years,China has sent many scientists to Antarctica.They mostly look at the resources under the icy land and do research about climate change and marine(海洋的)biology.Antarctica is a place with fantastic views.However,life there is very hard.Food is one of the biggest problems.Frozen(速冻)food which can be heated easily is people's daily food.Fresh vegetables are bard to grow in the cold weather.Therefore,scientists often eat dried or canned vegetables.Sleep is also troublesome.In Antarctica,summer lasts from November to March.During this period, Antarctica points to the sun and receives sunlight24hours a day.In order to get some sleep,scientists cover the windows with black plastic cloth to create"night".Working in Antarctica is dangerous,especially when meeting gale-force(七级以上的)winds.Sometimes the wind is even stronger than a typhoon.I t can easily blow people away.So there are ropes that connect buildings of some research stations.People can hold these ropes to keep their balance in forceful winds.What's more,communicating with others is difficult.Without cables and Internet in some research stations, two-way radios are the only tools to communicate.If people want to say hello to friends and

every corner of this icy land.()31.From Paragraph1,we learn that the Antarctica______.A.is covered with snow and iceB.rains heavily from time to timeC.has little wind most of the timeD.has sunshine

conditionD.stop the hunters from killing the marine biology()33.We can replace（替换）the underlined word passion in the last paragraph with______.A.strong loveB.full preparationC.pleasant introductionD.amazing imagination()34.The passage is mainly about_____.A.view of the AntarcticaB.exploring the AntarcticaC.how to survive in the AntarcticaD.climate changes of the AntarcticaDEvery kid wishes to be an adult.Do you remember playing house as a child-pretending to be a grown-up like your parents?Did you imagine you were a doctor,a soldier or a teacher?At that time,anything seemed more exciting than being young.But now as grown-ups,some adults find they cannot leave childhood behind.They become“kidults”(kid+adult).Being a kidult has become a lifestyle-choice among young people across Asia.Some kidults collect toys they once played with.Hello Kitty,Garfield,and Snoopy have many adult fans around the world.It is not unusual to see a20-something woman with a big,Garfield-shaped cushion on her sofa or a Hello Kitty mobile phone accessory(附属品).Other kidults still enjoy children’s stories and fairy tales.For example,Bloomsbury even published the Harry Potter novels with an adult cover.That way,no one else on the subway will know that an adult is actually reading a children’s book.“Kidults can be like vitamins to society.Adults who value their childhood and hold on to pure child-likeemotion may be needed in such a rough and dry society,”said Lee So-jung,a professor at Hankuk University(韩国外国语大学)of Foreign Studies.He added that kidult culture may fill the generation gap between adults and kids.It could give children and their parents books,movies,and cartoon shows to enjoy together.Tim Greenhalgh,an adviser in London explained that some kidults just refuse to grow up.They hold on to childhood because working life in a busy and stressful city frightens them.Kidults would like to forget their age and openly show their fear of society and adulthood.“So,they can escape from increasingly busy and stressful lives that are hard to deal with,“Greenhalgh said. ()35.Why does a kid wish to be an adult?A.Because he wants to be independent.B.Because he doesn’t want to be controlled by adults.C.Because he wants to experience the real world.D.Because he believes there will be more exciting life ahead.()36.What can we infer from the passage?A.Some Kidults refuse to grow up.B.Some Kidults in Britain like reading on the subway.C.Some Kidults think childhood is the best time of their life.D.All Kidults want to escape from the busy and stressful life.()37.One of the advantages of the kidult culture is that______.A.it can make adults face the real social lifeB.it can make our society young and full of lifeC.it can increase the sales of children’s booksD.it can lead to harmonious relationship between adults and kids()38.In the opinion of the Professor in a Korean University,kidults are______.A.Immature(不成熟)and weakB.necessary to our societyC.looked down uponD.getting more and moreEPhyllis Wheatley is regarded as America’s first black poet.She was born in Senegal,Africa in about1753 and brought to America at about the age of seven.John and Susannah Wheatley bought her for three pounds at a slave(奴隶)market in Boston in1761.Phyllis was soon accepted as one of the family,which included being raised and educated with the Wheatley’s twin15-year-old children,Mary and Nathaniel.At that time,most females,even from better families,could not read and write,but Mary was probably one of the best educated young women in Boston.Mary wanted to become a teacher,and in fact,it was Mary who decided to take charge of Phyllis Wheatley’s education.Phyllis soon showed her remarkable talents.At the age of twelve she was reading the Greek and Latin classics.At the age of thirteen,Phyllis wrote her first poem.She became a Boston sensation(引起轰动的人物) after she wrote a poem on the death of the preacher George Whitfield in1770.It became common to read Phyllis Wheatley’s poetry in polite society.Mary had tried to interest publishers in Phyllis Wheatley’s poems,but once they heard she was black they weren’t interested.Then in1773Phyllis went with Nathaniel,who was now a businessman,to London.Thirty-nine of her poems were published in London as Poems on Various Subjects.It was the first book published by a black American.In1775,Phyllis wrote a poem about George Washington and sent it to him.He responded by praising her talents and inviting her to visit his headquarters.After both of her benefactors(恩人)died in1777and in1778, Phyllis was feed.She married in1778,and had three children But after the unhappy marriage,she moved back to Boston,and died in poverty in1783.()39.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.Those days the black were looked down upon.B.Phyllis read a lot of books when she was young.C.Phyllis didn’t move away from Boston until she got married.D.Phyllis Wheatley’s first poem interested and excited the public.()40.Which is the correct order of Phyllis Wheatley’s life according to the passage? president sang high praise for her.b.People became curious about her poems.c.Mary began to educate her.d.Phyllis was freed as a slave.e.She served Nathaniel all the way to London.A.a-c-e-d-bB.e-c-b-d-aC.c-b-e-a-dD.d-c-e-b-a()41.Which statement about Phyllis is supported by the passage?A.She died young.B.She got a good school education.C.Her first poem was published in London.D.She was regarded as a poet after being freed.FMany of us have had this experience:we lie down in a bed other than our own,perhaps at a friend’s house or in a hotel room,and find it difficult or impossible to fall asleep.Is it because the bed is uncomfortable?Maybe, but perhaps there can be other reasons.According to a new study published in Current Biology,a significant reason is what the scientists call“first night effect”.They believe that one side of the brain acts as a“night watch”to warn us about potential(潜在的) dangers.It forces us to stay awake on the first night in a new environment.For the study,35young volunteers were asked to sleep in a sleep lab for several days.Meanwhile, researchers watched their brain activities.According to the researchers,on their first night,the left brains were more active than the right brains and people had a hard time sleeping.However,left-brain activity decreased as days went by,falling even to the point of complete calm.In this process,the participants got an increasingly better sleep experience.The findings suggest that the different rhythms(节奏)of the sides of the brain affect our sleep.When the two sides work differently,the balance between them is broken.Thus,the brain can’t relax and is sensitive to anything strange in the surroundings,just as it is in daytime.“At some level,the brain is continuing to analyze things,even though you are not aware of the analysis,”US professor Jerome Siegel told Smithsonian Magazine.”If something unusual happens-if a door opens or you hear a key in a lock-you can be alert(警惕的),even though the intensity(强度)of the stimulus is quite low.”More surprisingly,this phenomenon is similar to the way some animals sleep.Whales,dolphins,and many birds can sleep with half of their brain while the other half stays awake,with its corresponding eye staying open.The researchers think that it is the result of evolution(进化),and works to protect us in potentially dangerous environments.If you have ever had what you think is“first night effect”,researchers suggest that you bring your own pillow or sleep in a room similar to your bedroom next time you sleep away from home.()42.What did the new study published in Current Biology find?A.A comfortable bed could help people sleep well in a new environment.B.Most people could sleep well in a new environment after the first night.C.Brain activities affected people’s sleep in a new environment.D.The right brain determined how well people slept in a new environment.()43.What was found out about the volunteers?A.Their left brains were more active on the first night.B.Their right brains became more active as days went by.。

Do you remember playing house as a child-pretending to be a grown-up like your parents? Did you imagine you were a doctor, a soldier or a teacher? At that time, anything seemed more exciting than being young.But now as grown-ups, some adults find they cannot leave childhood behind. They become“kidults”(kid+adult). Being a kidult has become a lifestyle-choice among young people across Asia.Some kidults collect toys they once played with. Hello Kitty, Garfield, and Snoopy have many adult fans around the world. It is not unusual to see a 20-something woman with a big, Garfield-shaped cushion on her sofa or a Hello Kitty mobile phone accessory(附属品).Other kidults still enjoy children’s stories and fairy tales. For example, Bloomsbury even published the Harry Potter novels with an adult cover. That way, no one else on the subway will know that an adult is actually reading a children’s book.“Kidults can be like vitamins to society. Adults who value their childhood and hold on to pure child-likeemotion may be needed in such a rough and dry society,” said Lee So-jung, a professor at Hankuk University(韩国外国语大学) of Foreign Studies.He added that kidult culture may fill the generation gap between adults and kids. It could give children and their parents books, movies, and cartoon shows to enjoy together.Tim Greenhalgh, an adviser in London explained that some kidults just refuse to grow up. They hold on to childhood because working life in a busy and stressful city frightens them. Kidults would like to forget their age and openly show their fear of society and adulthood.“So, they can escape from increasingly busy and stressful lives that are hard to deal with, “Greenhalgh said. ( ) 35.Why does a kid wish to be an adult?A.Because he wants to be independent.B.Because he doesn’t want to be controlled by adults.C.Because he wants to experience the real world.D.Because he believes there will be more exciting life ahead.( ) 36. What can we infer from the passage?A.Some Kidults refuse to grow up.B.Some Kidults in Britain like reading on the subway.C.Some Kidults think childhood is the best time of their life.D.All Kidults want to escape from the busy and stressful life.( ) 37. One of the advantages of the kidult culture is that .A.it can make adults face the real social lifeB.it can make our society young and full of lifeC.it can increase the sales of child ren’s booksD.it can lead to harmonious relationship between adults and kids( ) 38. In the opinion of the Professor in a Korean University, kidults are .A. Immature(不成熟)and weakB. necessary to our societyC. looked down uponD. getting more and moreEP hyllis Wheatley is regarded as America’s first black poet. She was born in Senegal, Africa in about 1753 and brought to America at about the age of seven. John and Susannah Wheatley bought her for three pounds at a slave ( 奴隶) market in Boston in 1761. Phyllis was soon accepted as one of the family, which included being raised and educated with the Wheatley’s twin 15-year-old children, Mary and Nathaniel. At that time, most females, even from better families, could not read and write, but Mary was probably one of the best educated young women in Boston.Mary wanted to become a teacher, and in fact, it was Mary who decided to take charge of Phyllis Wheatley’s education. Phyllis soon showed her remarkable talents. At the age of twelve she was reading the Greek and Latin classics. At the age of thirteen, Phyllis wrote her first poem. She became a Boston sensation (引起轰动的人物) after she wrote a poem on the death of the preacher George Whitfield in 1770. It became common to read Phyllis Wheatley’s poetry in polite society. Mary had tried to interest publishers in Phyllis Wheatley’s poems, but once they heard she was black they weren’t interested.Then in 1773 Phyllis went with Nathaniel, who was now a businessman, to London. Thirty-nine of her poems were published in London as Poems on Various Subjects. It was the first book published by a black American. In 1775, Phyllis wrote a poem about George Washington and sent it to him. He responded by praising her talents and inviting her to visit his headquarters. After both of her benefactors (恩人) died in 1777 and in 1778, Phyllis was feed. She married in 1778, and had three children But after the unhappy marriage, she moved back to Boston, and died in poverty in 1783.( ) 39. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.Those days the black were looked down upon.B.Phyllis read a lot of books when she was young.C.Phyllis didn’t move away from Boston until she got married.D.Phyllis Wheatley’s first poem interested and excited the public.( ) 40.

Is it because the bed is uncomfortable? Maybe, but perhaps there can be other reasons.According to a new study published in Current Biology, a significant reason is what the scientists call “first night effect”. They believe that one side of the brain acts as a “night watch” to warn us about potential (潜在的) dangers. It forces us to stay awake on the first night in a new environment.For the study, 35 young volunteers were asked to sleep in a sleep lab for several days. Meanwhile, researchers watched their brain activities.According to the researchers, on their first night, the left brains were more active than the right brains and people had a hard time sleeping. However, left-brain activity decreased as days went by, falling even to the point of complete calm. In this process, the participants got an increasingly better sleep experience.The findings suggest that the different rhythms (节奏) of the sides of the brain affect our sleep. When the two sides work differently, the balance between them is broken. Thus, the brain can’t relax a nd is sensitive to anything strange in the surroundings, just as it is in daytime.“At some level, the brain is continuing to analyze things, even though you are not aware of the analysis,” US professor Jerome Siegel told Smithsonian Magazine.” If somethin g unusual happens - if a door opens or you hear a key in a lock - you can be alert (警惕的), even though the intensity (强度) of the stimulus is quite low.”More surprisingly, this phenomenon is similar to the way some animals sleep. Whales, dolphins, and many birds can sleep with half of their brain while the other half stays awake, with its corresponding eye staying open.The researchers think that it is the result of evolution (进化), and works to protect us in potentially dangerous environments.If you have e ver had what you think is “first night effect”, researchers suggest that you bring your own pillow or sleep in a room similar to your bedroom next time you sleep away from home.( ) 42. What did the new study published in Current Biology find?A.A comfortable bed could help people sleep well in a new environment.B.Most people could sleep well in a new environment after the first night.C.Brain activities affected people’s sleep in a new environment.D.The right brain determined how well people slept in a new environment.( ) 43. What was found out about the volunteers?A.Their left brains were more active on the first night.B.Their right brains became more active as days went by.C.Their right brains kept them awake the whole night.D.They slept better in the sleep lab than at home.( ) 44. What do the researchers think makes the brain sensitive to new things?A.The bad sleep experiences people have had.B.The tiredness that people suffer from in daytime.C.The imbalance between the two sides of the brain.D.The strangeness of the things that people come across.( ) 45. What do the researchers think of “first night effect”?A.It has evolved as a way to protect us.B.It’s a characteristic that animals don’t have.C.It’s completely different from the way animals sleep.D.It helps people to get used to new environments quickly.第II 卷(主观题共55 分)四、词汇(共15 小题;满分25 分)A)根据音标或者汉语提示，补全单词，使句子完整正确。

Not sure? Try living with your eyes closed for a few years. Blind people are better at locating (定位) sounds than people who can see, a new study says, without the benefits of vision (视力) the ears seem to work much better.Previous studies have shown that blind people are better than others at reaching out and touching the sources (来源) of sounds that are close by. Researchers from the University of Montreal wanted to see if blind people were also better at locating sounds that are far away.Twenty-three blind people participated (参加) in the study. All had been sightless (盲的) for at least 20 years. Fourteen of them lost their vision before age 11. The rest went blind after age 16. The experiment also included 10 people who could see but were wearing blindfolds (眼罩).In one task, volunteers had to pick the direction of a sound coming from about 3 metres away. When the sound was in front of them or slightly off center in front, both groups performed equally well.When sounds came from the side or the back, however, the blind group performed much better than the blindfolded group. The participants who had been blind since childhood did slightly better than those who lost their sight later.Recognizing (辨认) the locations of distant sounds can be a matter of life-or-death for blind people, say the researchers. Crossing the street, for instance, is much harder when you can't see the cars coming.Still, the researchers were surprised by how well the blind participants did, especially those who went blind after age 16. In another experiment, the scientists also found that parts of the brain that normally deal with visual (视觉的) information became active in locating sound in the people who were blind by age 11. These brain parts didn’t show sound-location activity in the other group of blind people or in the sighted (有视力的) people. The scientists now want to learn more about the working of brains of “late-onset” (发生较晚的) blind people.46. The recent study shows blind people are better at telling ______.A. the locations of distant soundsB. the sources of loud soundsC. the direction of sharp soundsD. the distance of a sound in front of them47. Which would be a proper title for the passage?A. A Research on Blind PeopleB. Where is That Noise Coming from?C. Hearing Better in the DarkD. What If Living without Your Eyes?48. If people were asked to tell the direction of a sound from the side, who would perform best?A. Those sighted people.B. Those who are blindfolded.C. Those who went blind at age 16.D. Those who have gone blind before age 11.49. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. All the volunteers in the experiment are sightless.B. Whether to be able to locate the sounds can be of vital importance for the blind.C. All the participants did equally well when picking sounds from whatever direction.D. The later people become blind, the better they can perform in telling the direction of sounds.50. What do we know about the finding that parts of the brain dealing with visual information are active in locating sounds?A, It remains a mystery why it is so.B. This happens in almost all the participants.C. It remains nothing new to the scientists any more.D. This only happens in the people who were blind after age 16.DEvery invention has a story. These stories often have a lesson to teach, too. Here are the stories of some everyday household inventions.Canned (罐装的) Food and the Can Opener — Get It Right!Peter Durand invented canned food in 1810, but there was a problem. Durand didn't have a good way to open the cans. In 1858, Ezra Warner invented a can opener. It used a piece of metal (金属) to cut and remove the top from the can, but it was difficult to use. Finally, in 1870, WilliamLyman added a wheel to the can opener. The metal went around the top of the can and removed it easily. Finally, people were able to open cans without a lot of work. Canned food was soon popular.Frozen Food — A Little Good Luck Can Help!Clarence Birdseye had the chance to go on a trip to the Arctic (北极). When people there caught fish, they put the fish in a container (容器) of ice to freeze it quickly. When people cooked the fish later, it was still good! This gave Birdseye an idea. He thought people could also have this kind of food at home. In 1926, Birdseye invented frozen food. People were able to store food in freezers (冰柜) for a long time.Air Conditioning — One Answer to Two Problems!Printing companies make books, so they use a lot of paper. Sometimes, changes in the weather can hurt the paper. In 1902, Willis Carrier invented air conditioning to control the temperature insidehis printing company. This saved the paper. People soon realized other benefits of air conditioning. The y started to air condition their homes in the summer. Carrier’s invention changed the world!51. Which of the following happened first in history?A. The invention of frozen foodB. The invention of canned foodC. The invention of air conditioningD. The invention of a can opener52. Which of the following statements about the second invention is true?A. Clarence Birdseye went to the Arctic to learn how to store food.B. Clarence Birdseye invented the fridge to keep food for a long time.C. When people took the fish out of the container to cook, the fish were still fresh and alive.D. Clarence Birdseye got the idea of frozen food from the people in the Arctic region.53. Who improved the design of a can opener?A. Peter DurandB. Ezra WarnerC. William LymanD. Clarence Birdseye54. Willis Carrier invented air conditioning to ______.A. better keep the printing paperB. keep food longer in summerC. make rooms comfortableD. help control the weather55.
