Beside him is a desperate mother yelling at the top of her lungs. Raising a well-behaved kid is really a head-scratching thing.If you took all the parenting styles around the world and ranked them by their gentleness, the Inuit(因纽特人) approach would certainly rank near the top. All the moms mention one golden role: Don't shout or yell at small children. Inuit's no-yelling policy is their central component to raising cool-headed kids. The culture views scolding, or even speaking to children in all angry voice, as inappropriate, although little kids are pushing parents' buttons.Playful "storytelling" is another trick to sculpting kids' behavior. But this storytelling differs hugely from those fairy tales full of moral lessons Parents "retell" what happened when a boy threw a tantrum(发脾气)by way of what Shakespeare would understand all too well: putting on a "drama". After the child has calmed down, the parents will review what happened when the child misbehaved, usually starting with a question: "Can you show us how to throw a tantrum?" Then the child has to think what he should do. If he takes the bait and performs the action, the mom will ask a follow-up question with a playful tone. For example: "Does that seem right?" or "Are you a baby?" She is getting across the idea that "big boys" won't throw a tantrum.Kids' brains are still developing the circuitry needed for self-control. What you do in response to your children's emotions shapes their brains. So next time, seeing your boy misbehave, try using the Inuit's storytelling approach. And don't forget to keep cool. After all, boys will be boys.(1). Which of the following best explains "pushing parents' buttons" underlined in Paragraph 2?A. Talking with parents.B. Playing with parents' buttons.C. Exposing parents' faults.D. Making parents annoyed.(2). What do we know about Inuit's "storytelling"?A. It aims at playing a trick on kids.B. It raises kids' awareness of morality.C. It comes after a child misbehaves.D. It analyzes Shakespeare's dramas.(3). What's the author's attitude to children's misbehavior?A. CautiousB. Tolerant.C. Uncaring.D. Skeptical.(4). What's the main idea of the text?A. Inuit's approach to parenting.B. Values of reading literary works.C. Causes of children's misbehavior.D. Parents' responses to "storytelling".3、The official opening of Beijing Daxing International Airport caps a long design and building process. Designed by the late architect Zaha Hadid and her Chinese partners, the airport is built for the future, having a terminal the size of 97 soccer grounds — as well as customer-service robots that provide travelers with flight updates and airport information.Called "starfish" by Chinese media for its shape of five concourses(大厅）connected to amain hall, Daxing aims to reduce walking for passengers. The airport authority has promised a distance of no more than 600 meters — about eight minutes of walking — between security checkpoints and the remotest boarding gates.This new modern airport employs a special intelligent lighting system, supported by eight big C-shaped columns that let in the sunlight, brightening the architecture and structure. Therefore it minimizes the need to use electric lighting.To offer a more refreshing travel experience, five outdoor courtyards — with the themes "Silk Garden" , "Tea Garden"，"Porcelain(瓷)Garden"，"Countryside Garden" and "Chinese Garden" —feature at the end of the five departure lounges for use by passengers waiting for their flights. Travelers will be scanned on cameras using facial recognition. Counters will he fully automated to capture face photos and relay them each part of the journey through the airport, including security and the departure gate.China is projected to overtake the United States as the world’s biggest air travel market by 2022. The "modest" initial operational target at Daxing is to accommodate 72 million passengers and 2 million tons of goods annually by 2025. The ambitious master plan calls for the building of a total of seven runways, and moving at least 100 million passengers and 4 million tons of goods a year through the airport.1. Why is the airport in a starfish-shaped design?A. To keep security checkpoints effective.B. To hold as many passengers as possible.C. To make boarding gates within easy reach.D. To get the main hall easier to be found.2. What can the airport’s lighti ng system be described as?A. Energy-saving.B. High-end.C. Passenger-friendly.D. Strangely-formed.3. What can be inferred about the five outdoor courtyards?A. They use popular techniques.B. They reflect the Chinese tradition.C. They follow the latest world trend.D. They promote Chinese goods to people.4. What do the numbers in the last paragraph indicate?A. The airport’s potential.B. The airport’s market.C. The airport’s facilities.D. The airport’s project.4、Metal-organic frameworks( MOFs) are compounds that are set to solve some tough challenges: producing water in the desert, removing greenhouse gases from the air and storing dangerous gases more safely.The Arizona desert is really dry. Anyone stuck in it without water would die from dehydration within three days, unless he had one of Omar Yaghi’s next-generation water harvesters, who is a chemist at the University of California, Berkeley. Although daytime humidity(湿度) is only about 10 percent, this rises to 40 percent at night, whic h means there’s enough water in the atmosphere to support life 一if it can be transformed into liquid form.That’s exactly what Yaghi’s invention does. It’s about the size of a small microwave oven, designed to suck the water from the air at night and turn it into chinking water the next day using only the heat of the sun as its power source. What makes it work is a special material called a MOF,which al normal temperatures attracts water molecules(分子) onto the surface of its internal small holes. Warm it up and get the water, each harvest producing one-third of a cup of pure drinking water. "A device the size of a washing machine could produce enough water for the basic needs of a household," says Yaghi.These crystalline(结晶的) groups of metals linked by organic molecules can be made into materials with an extremely high absorption ability, attracting specific molecules to their surfaces. In this way, MOFs cling to a variety of liquids and gases.MOFs work thanks to their distinctive structure. In fact, one MOF the size of a sugar cube has so many small holes that they would cover an area as large as six football fields. MOFs are also extremely stable, light and have many different uses: their molecular structure can be varied to attract specific molecules. Adding a small amount of heat or pressure causes the MOF to give what it5s holding. More than 70,000 different MOFs have been produced to date for various applications.1.Why is the Arizona desert mentioned in the second paragraph?A.To introduce water harvesters.B.To stress the importance of water.C.To express the urgent need for water there.D.To show the severity of its condition.2.What plays a vital role in water harvesters?A.Solar energy.B.Water molecules.C.MOFs’ internal small holes.D.Metal-organic frameworks.3.Which can explain the phrase " cling to” underlined in paragraph 4?A.Give off.B.Break down.C.Hold onto.D.Turn into.4.What will probably be covered in the following paragraphs?A.The future of the MOF technology.B.Other uses of the MOF technology.C.The improvement to the MOF technology.D.Possible limitations of the MOF technology.5、阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AHomestay provides English language students with the opportunity to speak English outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a British home.What to ExpectThe host will provide accommodation and meals. Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week. You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.Accommodation ZonesHomestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2, 3 and of the transport system. Most hosts do not live in the town centre as much of central London is commercial and not residential (居住的). Zones 3 and 4 often offer larger accommodation in a less crowded area. It is very convenient to travel in London by Underground.Meal Plans Available◆Continental Breakfast◆Breakfast and Dinner◆Breakfast, Packed Lunch and DinnerIt’s important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast. Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal (谷物类食品), bread and tea or coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England. Dinnersusually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by desert, fruit and coffee.FriendsIf you wish to invite a friend over to visit, you must first ask your host’s permission. You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy.Self-Catering Accommodation in Private HomesAccommodation on a room-only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a main living room. This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long-stay student. However, it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practise English at home quite as much.1. The passage is probably written for ________.A. host willing to receive foreign studentsB. foreigners hoping to build British cultureC. travelers planning to visit families in LondonD. English learners applying to live in English homes2. Which of the following will the host provide?A. Room cleaning.B. Medical care.C. Free transport.D. Physical training.3. According to the passage, what does Continental Breakfast include?A. Dessert and coffee.B. Fruit and vegetables.C. Bread and fruit juice.D. Centre and cold meat.BI recently heard a story from Stephen Glenn about a famous research scientist who had made several very important medical breakthroughs. He was being interviewed by a newspaper reporter who asked him why he thought he was able to be so much more creative than the average person. What set him so far apart from others?He responded that, in his opinion, it all came from an experience with his mother that occurred when he was about two years old. He had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he lost his grip (紧握) on the slippery bottle and it fell, spilling its contents all over the kitchen floor — a real sea of milk!When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of yelling at him, giving him a lecture or punishing him, she said, “Robert, what a great and wonderful mess you have made! I have rarely seen such a huge puddle of milk.Well, the damage has already been done. Would you like to get down and play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?”Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, “You know, Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to clean it up and restore everything to its proper order. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge (海绵), a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?” He chose the sponge and together they cleaned up the spilled milk.His mother then said, “You know, what we have here is a failed experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two t iny hands. Let’s go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it.” The little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful lesson!This famous scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be afraid to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just opportunities for learning something new, which is, after all, what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment “doesn’t work,” we usually learn something valuable from it.4. The passage is intended to _________.A. introduce the life story of a famous scientistB. compare the different ways of family educationC. reveal the secret of the scientist’s successD. inspire the parents to improve their teaching methods5. From the passage, we can know that Robert _________.A. was very naughty when he was twoB. was so working hard as to succeedC. owes a lot to his education from his motherD. has made some great contributions to physics research6. On seeing the spoiled milk, what did the mother do firstly?A. She comforted his son.B. She cleaned the floor.C. She taught how to grasp the bottle.D. She gave the boy a lecture.7. What can we learn from the short passage?A. Children should persuade their parents to treat them well.B. We needn’t be scared of making mistakes in life.C. Good education is necessary for children.D. We should learn something from life.CThe Success PersonalityIs there a “success personality” — some winning combination of qualities that leads almost inevitably (必然地) to achievement? If so, exactly what is that secret success formula, and can anyone develop it?At the Gallop Organization we recently focused in depth on success, probing (探查) the attitudes of 1500 prominent (杰出的) people selected at random from Who’s Who in America. Our research finds out a number of qualities that occur regularly among top achievers. Here is one of the most important, that is common sense.Common sense is the most general quality possessed by our respondents (受访者). Seventy-nine percent award themselves a top score in this quality. And 61 percent say that common sense was very important in contributing to their success.To most, common sense means the ability to present sound, practical judgments on everyday affairs. To do this, one has to sweep aside extra ideas and get right to the core of what matters. A Texas oil and gas businessman puts it this way: “The key ability for success is simplifying. In conducting of meeting and dealing with industry, reducing a complex problem to the simplest term is highly important.”Is common sense a quality a person is born wi th, or can you do something to increase it? The oil man’s answer is that common sense can definitely be developed.He attributes his to learning how to debate in school. Another way to increase your store of common sense is to observe it in others, learning from their — and your own — mistakes.Besides common sense, there are many other factors that influence success: knowing your field, self-reliance, intelligence, the ability to get things done, leadership, creativity, relationships with others, and of course, luck. But common sense stands out. If you develop these qualities, you’ll succeed. And you might even find yourself listed in Who’s Who someday.8. It can be known from the passage that W ho’s Who _________.A. is a very useful book telling us how to succeedB. is a book providing us with information about the family life of some famous peopleC. is a book providing us with names and brief biographies of the top successful peopleD. is a book from which we can find out the names of different peoples in the world9. According to the author, common sense _________.A. is something that enables one to form correct opinionsB. is a popular quality a person is born withC. is something that common people like bestD. is a quality that is possessed by common people10. It can be inferred from the passage that a successful businessman _________.A. tries to get experience through practiceB. pays attention to the essence of a problem when he tries to solve itC. keeps on learning in order to be successfulD. has strong willpower, extensive interest and intelligence11. The passage is mainly concerned with _________.A. organizational ability and good work habitsB. the way to obtain big profits and achieve fame and successC. knowledge and interest which are primary to successD. what successful people have in commonDBeauty has always been regarded as something admirable. Almost everyone thinks that attractive people are happier and healthier; they have better marriages and have more respectable jobs. Personal consultants give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive persons. But in the executive circle, beauty can become a liability.While attractiveness is a positive thing for a man’s rise, it is harmful to a woman’s. H andsome male executives were considered as having more honesty than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to be the reasons for their success. Attractive female executives were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones; their success was attributed not to ability but to factors such as luck. All unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives.Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman is thought to be more feminine (有女人味的) and an attractive man more masculine (男子气概的) than the less attractive ones. Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally masculine position appear s to lack the “masculine” qualities required.This is true even in politics. Anne Bowman recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates. She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them.The results showed that attractive males completely defeated unattractive men, but the woman who had been ranked most attractive always received the fewest votes.12. In traditionally female jobs, attractiveness _________.A. strengthens the feminine qualities requiredB. makes women look more honest and capableC. is of great importance to womenD. often enables women to succeed quickly13. Bowman’s experiment shows that when it comes to politics, attractiveness _________.A. turns out to be an obstacle to menB. affects men and women alikeC. has as little effect on men as on womenD. is more of an obstacle than a benefit to women14. Attractiveness is a positive thing for a man’s promotion because _________.A. handsome men are born with the ability to succeedB. handsome men are thought to be more diligent, capable and honestC. handsome men’s success is as a result of good luckD. handsome men are often thought to be more positive and optimistic15. The author writes this passage to _________.A. discuss the negative aspects of being attractiveB. give advice to job-seekers who are attractiveC. demand equal rights for womenD. emphasize the importance of appearance第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分30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。

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Most people agree that November 24 and 25, 2005 are important dates in the history of modem medicine. At that time, a team of surgeons in France achieved a medical breakthrough when they succeeded in performing the first partial face transplant.A 38-year-old Frenchwoman, Isabelle Dinoire, had been badly disfigured when her dog tried to wake her after she had taken some sleeping pills. After the dog's 'attack9, she had terrible injuries. She had lost most of her nose, lips and chin. As a result, she had difficulty eating and drinking. The doctors at the hospital decided to improve the quality of her life by giving her a partial face transplant.Ms Dinoire is making a good recovery after her operation. However, she will have to take drugs for many years to come so that her body does not reject the new face tissue. No one really knows what the effects of these drugs will be on her health in the long term. She will probably also need psychological treatment as she adjusts to her 4new face\Dr Jean-Michel Dubemard, a leading transplant expert who participated in the surgery, explained that the woman's face 'will not exactly resemble her face before, but neither will it completely resemble that of the donor.’ He said.While some people approve of the operation, others have been more critical. They question whether Ms Dinoire was able to agree to the operation when she was in such an emotional state at the time. Other medical experts say that the team should have tried more traditional reconstruction surgery before risking a face transplant.The operation was the first partial face transplant using skin from another person. Apparently, skin from another person’s face is usually a better match than skin from another part of the patient’s body.Since the French operation, surgeons in other countries have received permission to perform face transplants. In a few years, time, surgeons in other countries will probably have carried out many such transplants, and the debate about face transplants will undoubtedly continue.56. What difficulty may Isabelle Dinoire have in the coming years?A. She may start to learn how to eat and drink again.B. She may need several more operations to recover.C. She may meet with some mental problems.D. She may have to get used to another person’s face.57. What is special about the operation?A. It fails to take the difference between the patient’s face and the donor’s into account.B. It was intended to give other countries an example for how to do face transplant.C. No permission from the authorities had been given before it was performed.D. No operation has been carried out before by using a donor’s face skin.58. Why do some people object to such an operation?A. It costs more than traditional face surgery.B. It may not be of the patient^ own will.C. It has no official regulations to follow.D. It requires doctors' strong emotion.59. What is the passage mainly about?A. The debate over the face transplant.B. The world's first partial face transplant.C. The advantage and disadvantages of face transplants.D. The patient that has undergone a partial face transplant.(B)1. A Beijing woman is so angry with a local cinema that she is suing (^i^) them for wasting her time. Chen Xiaomei is suing the cinema's owners because she was not warned about the 20 minutes of adverts and trailers before the main feature. She is demanding a full refund (35 yuan), a certain amount of money to make up for emotional damage and a written apology. In addition, Xiaomei now says that length of advertisements should be published on its website. In total, they should be less than five minutes, she believes.2. Terrified by the latest horror film? Or in tears at the latest romantic comedy?Soon advertisers will be able to see your reaction to a film, so that adverts can be changed to make them more effective. Technology is now being developed which can capture how the cinema audience reacts. It will give film directors and advertisers useful information about what audiences enjoy and what captures their attention,* says the inventor, Dr Abdul Farooq. The technology will also be used to find pirates who secretly record films and then sell them illegally.3. A German DJ has broken the record for the world’s longest non-stop radio show. Dominik Schollmayer, 26, ran his show for 169 hours on end, beating the previous record by one hour. Schollmayer was observed by doctors all through his broadcast: they said that the DJ had gone ‘completely mad’ and was dancing like a crazy man’ in the last few hours. At the end, Schollmayer said he was ‘totally exhausted’.60. The best title of _______ might be “Who’s watching the audience?”A. story 1B. story 2C. story 3D. story 461. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the stories above?A. Chen Xiaomei holds that there shouldn’t be advertisements before a filmB. Those who sell films illegally often skip the advertisements.C. The previous record of the world’s longest non-stop radio show was 168 hours.D. Kim Perez knew she would be proposed to before the weather forecast started.62. Where are the stories above most likely to appear?A. In a newspaperB. In an advertising leafletC. In a travel guideD. In an instruction mamual(C)Neuro-technology has long been a favorite of science-fiction writers. In “Neuromancer”,a wildly inventive book by William Gibson written in 1984，people can use neural(神经的）implants to get into the sensory experiences of others. Iain M. Banks came up with the idea of a neural lace, a mesh（⽹格）that grows into the brain，in his “Culture” series of novels. “The Terminal Man*' by Michael Crichton, published in 1972, imagines the effects of a brain implant on someone who is convinced that machines are taking over from humans.Where the sci-fi led, philosophers are now starting to follow. I n Howard Chizeck’s lab at the University of Washington, researchers are working on an implanted device to administer deep-brain stimulation (DBS) in order to treat a common movement disorder called essentialtremor. Traditionally, DBS stimulation is always on, wasting energy and robbing the patient of a sense of control. The lab’s ethicist (伦理学家), Tim Brown, a doctoral student of philosophy, says that some DBS patients suffer a sense of isolation and complain of feeling like a robot.To change that, the team at the University of Washington is using neuronal activity associated with intentional movements to turn the device on. But the researchers also want to enable patients to use a conscious thought process to override these settings. That is more useful than it might sound: stimulation currents for essential tremor can cause side-effects like distorted speech, so someone about to give a presentation, say, might wish to shake rather than make his words unclear. Giving humans more options of this sort will be essential if some of the more advanced visions for brain-computer interfaces are to be realized. Hannah Maslen from the University of Oxford is another ethicist who works on a BCI project. One of her jobs is to think through the distinctions between inner speech and public speech: people need a dependable mechanism for separating what they want to say from what they think.That is only one of many ethical questions that the sci-fi versions of brain-computer interfaces bring up. What protection will BCIs offer against neural hacking? Who owns neural data, including information that is gathered for research purposes now but may be understandable in detail at some point in the future? Where does accountability lie if a user does something wrong? And if brain implants are performed not for treatment but to improve peopled abilities, will that make the world an even more unequal place?63. What do the three books mentioned in paragraph 1 have in common?A. They are all among what philosophers like best.B. They all tell the stories well beyond imagination.C. They are all works of the greatest sci-fi writers of the time.D. They all deal with people’s losing control of their brains.64. The research of the team at the University of Washington is intended to .A. improve the accuracy of DBSB. let patients decide when to turn on DBSC. separate what we think from what we sayD. get rid of the side effects of stimulation currents65. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Neuronal activity fails to work without intentional movements.B. Brain-computer interfaces do more harm than good.C. People suffering from essential tremor will shake.D. DBS settings cannot be changed once fixed.66. What will the passage most probably talk about next?A. How these questions will be handled.B. Why these questions used to be ignored.C. Which questions come from science fiction.D. Who has first raised these questions.Section CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.The World’s Worst AirportLike expensive watches that never break, the world’s best airports can be boring. You land, breeze through passport control and check into a hotel within minutes. The experience is pleasant, but not memorable. _______67______ To adapt Tolstoy, lovely airports are all alike, but every (不幸的）airport is wretched in its own way.Consider Juba, the airport in South Sudani capital, which is a hot tent. Planes are often late, so passengers must sweat for hours. The departure hall has no toilets, no food and no queuing system. Lucky is the traveller who finds a chair that is only half-broken. Since dirty water and tropical diseases are common, so are upset stomachs. Tough luck. Travellers should have thought twice before eating salad._________68____ Big important people's servants carry their bags, which are ostentatiously (卖弄地) passed round, not through, the scanner. Since the machine seldom works, little people are in effect up- graded to big important status by not having their bags scanned for guns and explosives, either.South Sudan is at war, so many UN planes take off from Juba carrying aid workers and emergency supplies._______69______ When a journalist was booked on a UN flight, he was assured by the government that his papers were in order. Yet at the airport he was told to get a fourth permit, as well as the three expensive ones he had already obtained. This required a trip across town. Predictably, he missed his plane.Juba has three terminals, but only one is in use. After South Sudan became independent in 2011, the government planned to build an airy structure of glass, steel and concrete. ______70_______In 2016 the government decided to build a more modest terminal. But it, too, stands half-completed and empty, next to the tented camp that people actually have to use. Travellers are advised to bring a good, long book.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.Rubbish on the roof of the worldYou might think that the top of Mountain Everest, the highest point in the world, would be one of the few places left on the planet that is free from human rubbish. You'd be wrong. In fact, the mountain is covered with the litter left behind by the thousands of climbers who have reached the peak over the last 50 years.Climbing Mount Everest is a tough task that requires a lot of equipment. Oxygen tanks, tents, sleeping bags and food and water supplies are all necessary for a successful ascent. Once climbers have reached the top, they no longer need as much equipment and there is little reason to carry heavy loads back down the mountain, so the temptation is to leave everything behind. In the days when climbing the mountain was a rare occurrence this wasn't a problem. But now, with more than 40 people getting to the top on some days, the amount of litter has become unacceptable.Recently, many well-known mountaineers have been complaining about the problem and Sir Edmund Hillary (1919-2008), the first man to climb Mount Everest (with Tenzing Norgay in 1953), called for a five-year ban on climbing the summit. But thousands of local people rely on the tourism and the government of Nepal is keen to encourage visitors rather than put them off.But now the government of Nepal, in the face of international criticism, has decided to take action. Each expedition that wants to climb the mountain has to play a $4,000 deposit to the Nepalese authorities. The deposit is refunded if the climbers bring their rubbish back down the mountain. Climbers are also encouraged to use metal containers rather than plastic or glass. These can be crushed once they are empty and then recycled by local business which turn them into knives and forks.V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72.重要的是坚持下去的勇⽓。

AMaybe you think there are many reasons why you are over weighed? Recent research compare the sedentary（久坐的） behavior to smoking, warning it could reduce years from your lifespan. Now, researchers at the University of Texas, have added their weight to the argument. They found standing for up to six hours a day, can cut fat levels by a third.Being upright, rather than slumped(消沉) at your desk, in front of the TV or on the train to work, for one quarter of the day is linked to a 32 percent decrease in the chance of becoming obese（肥胖的）.They found that among men, standing a quarter of the time was linked to a 32 percent reduced likelihood of obesity (body fat percentage). Standing half the time was associated with a 59 percent reduced likelihood of obesity. But standing more than three-quarters of the time was not associated with a lower risk of obesity.In women, standing a quarter, half, and three quarters of the time was associated with 35 percent, 47 percent, and 57 percent respective reductions in the likelihood of waist size. The US scientists looked at the standing habits of more than 7,000 adults and compared their body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage and waist size.21. According to the passage, standing up six hours a day could _______.A. make you over weighed.B. even worse than smokingC. reduce years of your lifespan.D. cut your fat levels【答案】：D22.

The last time I was there he introduced me a story like this: There was a young man who was the son of a horse trainer, who would go from stable(马厩) to stable, race track to race track, farm to farm and ranch to ranch, training horses. So the boy’s school career was continually interrupted. When he was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch, showing the location of all the buildings, the stables and the track. He also drew a detailed floor plan for a 4,000-square-foot house that would sit on a 200-acre dream ranch. He put a great deal of his heart into the project and the next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a note that read, “See me after class.”The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked why he received an F. The teacher said, “This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You have no resources. Owning ahorse ranch requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land. There’s no way you could ever do it... If you will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.”The boy went home and thought about it long and haul. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, “Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important decision for you.” Finally, after a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all. He stated, “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream.”Monty then turned to me and said, “I tell you this story because you are sitting in my 4, 000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch. I still have that school paper framed o ver the fireplace.” He added, “The best part of the story is that two years ago that same schoolteacher brought 30 kids to camp out on my ranch for a week. When the teacher was leaving, he said, “Look, Monty, when I was your teacher, I was something of a d ream stealer. During those years I stole a lot of kids’ dreams. Fortunately, you had enough ambition not to give up on yours.”24. How did the father deal with his son’s problem?A. He did not pay attention to it.B. He punished his son for the large red F.C. He encouraged his son to make his own decision.D. He scolded his son for the ridiculous plan.25. What can we infer from the teacher’s remarks in the last paragraph?A. Skill comes by exercise.B. Everybody’s good at something.C. It’s great to have dreams.D. Where there is a will, there is a way.26. Why was Monty’s schooling continually interrupted?A. Because he didn’t like his teacher.B. Because he had to do much housework.C. Because he refused to go to school sometimes.D. Because his father always changed his working place.27. What’s the best title for the text?A. A boy having no changesB. A boy following his heartC. A boy holding on to his dreamD. A boy owning a horse ranchCDid you hear what happened at yesterday’s meeting? Can you be lieve it? If you find those sorts of quietly whispered questions about your co-workers irresistible, you’re hardly alone. But why are we drawn to gossip?A new study suggests it’s because the rumors are all about us. “Gossip receivers tend to use positive and negative group information to improve, promote, and protect the self,” writes a research team, led by Elena Martinescu of the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. In the journal Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, the researchers described two experiments team, led by Elena Martinescu of the University described two experiments testing the personal value gossip receivers get.The first featured 178 university undergraduates, who had all previously worked on at least one course assignment with a group of four or more students. Participants were asked to recall and write a short description of an incident, in which a group member shared with them either positive or negative information about another group member’s secret. They then reported their level of agreement with a series of statements. Some of these measured the self-improvement value of the gossip (“The information received made me think I learn a lot from X”); others measured its self-promotion value (“The information I received mad e me feel that I am doing well compared to X”). Still others measured whether the gossip raised personal concerns (“The information I received made me feel that I must protect my image in the group”).In the second experiment, 122 undergraduates were assig ned the role of “sales agent” at a major company. They received gossip from a colleague that a third person either did very well or very badly at a performance evaluation, and were then asked about the emotions that information caused. They also responded to the above-mentioned set of statements presented to the participants in the first experiment.In each experiment, participants found both negative and positive gossip to be of personal value with different reasons. “Positive gossip has self-improvement v alue,” they write. “Competence-related positive gossip about others contains lessons about how to improve one’s own competence. On the other hand, negative gossip has self-promotion value, because it provides individuals with social comparison information that justifies self-promoting judgments which results in feelings of pride.”In addition, the results showed that negative gossip brought about self-protection concerns, the researchers write. “Negative gossip makes people concerned that their reputations may be at risk, as they may personally become targets of negative gossip in the future, which generates fear.” Fear is hardly a pleasant sensation(感觉), but it can be a motivating one. As researchers put it: “Gossip conveniently provides individuals with in direct social-comparison information about relevant others.”28. Why are we drawn to gossip according to the researchers?A. We need evaluative information about others to evaluate ourselves.B. We are interested in the news that arouses our personal concerns.C. We tend to gain a sense of pride from judging others.D. We are likely to learn lessons from others’ mistakes.29. According to the first experiment, which of the following shows self-promotion value?A. I have to learn from Mary according to what Tom said about her.B. I should behave myself in case of being gossiped about like Mary.C. I’ve done better than Mary according to what Tom said about her.D. I have no comments on what Tom said about Mary.30. What’s the critical difference of the second experiment compared with the first one?A. The identities of the participants.B. The number of the participants studied.C. The time during which the experiment lasted.D. The role-play technique used in experiment.31. What role does “negative gossip” p lay according to the researchers?A. A fear killer.B. A protector.C. A motivator.D. A subject provider.DFacial recognition technology is already widely used by governments and some advertising companies. The technology uses machine learning tools to search for faces in an attempt to identify people.In a recent study scientists announced they had developed machine learning tools to track the faces of individual wild chimpanzees(黑猩猩). Dan Schofield said that the system was developed to improve the quality of information collected about chimpanzees in the wild over a long period of time.“For species like chimpanzees, which have complex social lives and live for many years, getting snapshots of their behavior from short-term field research can only t ell us so much,” Schofield said.The researchers wanted to get a more complete understanding of the lives of the chimpanzees by studying them over several generations. But doing this would have required searching through hundreds of hours of video recordings of chimpanzees in the wild.The researchers recorded the activities of a group of chimpanzees that lived in the West African nation of Guinea. A facial recognition computer model was trained using more than 10 million images of the animals. The model was then used to search, recognize and track individual chimpanzees. The system was able to identify individual chimpanzees correctly about 92 percent of the time. It successfully identified the animals’ sex 96percent of the time.The study included an experiment with humans to see how they could perform against the machine learning system in making identifications. The human persons were able to correctly identify individual chimpanzees about 42 percent of the time. The machine learning tool was much faster at completing the experiment. Human experts took about 55 minutes, while the computer took only seconds.The researchers say they are permitting other scientists to use the system for similar projects. They hope the method will be used with other species to record animal behavior and monitor different animal populations in the environment.32. What can we infer from Schofield’s words?A. Researching chimpanzees needs more information.B. Chimpanzees can live as long as humans.C. Chimpanzees like to get snapshots too.D. Short-term field research provides more information.33. What does the underlined word “this” refer to?A. Recording the chimpanzees in the wild.B. Studying chimpanzees over several years.C. Understanding the lives of the chimpanzees completely.D. Getting snapshots of chimpanzees’ behavior.34. What did the experiment with humans prove in the study?A. Humans make more accurate identifications.B. The machine learning system is more effective.C. Humans can’t identify the animals’ sex c orrectly.D. Machine learning tools take a little more time in identification.35. What is the best title for the text?A. Facial recognition for animals is becoming popularB. Facial recognition is helping animals live in the wildC. Facial recognition plays a role in raising animalsD. Facial recognition is used to identify and follow animals第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Today we will tell you about Billy Wilder, director of some of the greatest American movies. He is often called the best movie maker Hollywood has ever had. Billy Wilder was born in June, 1906. His birthplace is now part of Poland. His mother had enjoyed spending several years in the United States. So she called him Billy because she thought it sounded American. Billy Wilder started law school in Vienna, Austria. Then he decided not to become a lawyer. Instead, he began reporting for a Vienna newspaper. In the 1920s, he was writing movies in Germany. Between the mid-1930s and the 1980s, Billy Wilder made almost fifty movies. He won six Oscar awards. In his love stories, Billy Wilder did not follow the Hollywood tradition of boy-meets-girl situations. He had an unusual way of showing relations between men and women. Wilder died in March, 2002. A current Hollywood producer said, “Billy Wilder made movies that people will never forget.”答案：1－5BACCB6－10ACBBC11－15AABAC16－20ACABC第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
