AEVERY few hundred years, a sleeping giant in southern Italy awakens with a bang, spewing volcanic ash across the countryside. The volcano, called Mount Vesuvius, formed 25,000 years ago. During its most explosive eruptions, the volcano could blanket nearby cities with hot ash, sometimes also burying them with deadly flows of mud and rocks. One famous eruption occurred nearly 2,000 years ago, in the year AD 79. It lasted 18 hours and destroyed the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum, killing thousands of people as they tried to escape.Scientists and city officials had supposed that Naples, one of Italy's most populous cities, was far enough away that it would be safe from the volcano's wrath. New evidence suggests that this might not be the case.Researchers recently discovered 4000-year-old layers of ash and mud under present-day Naples. Just outside the city, they also uncovered abandoned villages, as well as human and animal skeletons. Most surprising of all, the researchers say, was the discovery of thousands of footprints from the same time period, pressed into layers of wet ash that had rained from the sky. The footprints show that thousands of people were fleeing to the northwest, away from the volcano, as it erupted.Mount Vesuvius hasn't had a major eruption since 1631, but it's still very active. The discovery of the ancient ash layers, skeletons, and footprints is a warning that modern Naples, a city of 3million people, isn't safe from the volcano, scientists say. So, when the volcano begins to rumble again, Naples should have an emergency evacuation plan ready - just in case.26.Which of the following is true with Mount Vesuvius？A.It formed 2,500 years ago.B.Its latest eruption occurred 2,000 years ago.C.It is an active, destructive volcano.D.It is where the city Naples is located.27.What does the word underlined possibly mean？A. Path.B. Heat.C. Fear .D. Eruption.28. The researchers found the new evidence EXCEPT _________.A. ancient layers of ash and mudB. animal footprintsC. abandoned villagesD. human skeletons29. What can we conclude from the passage？A. City Pompeii has been rebuilt now.B. City Naples isn’t suitable for living.C. Mount Vesuvius will not erupt in a hundred years.D. Mount Vesuvius is a potential danger to Naples.30. The author of the passage intends to ________.A. introduce Mount VesuviusB. describe the city NaplesC. present new discoveries by researchersD. propose a plan for escapeBTragedy struck for brothers Rob and Paul Forkan when they lost their parents in the 2004 Asian tsunami. Now, over ten years later, they're using their flip flop business to help other orphans.The boys had an unusual childhood. They were just 11 and 13 when their parents, Kevin and Sandra, took them out of the UK education system and moved the family to Goa in India. Their parents were of the philosophy that they would receive a healthier and fuller education by traveling the world and helping others. There they did lots of voluntary work and mixed with the local community. It was when the family were on holiday in Sri Lanka that the tsunami hit. Although the children managed to escape, their parents tragically couldn't. But Paul says their upbringing meant they were able to cope with this tough blow. "Our parents gave us this confidence that we could do anything, that nothing was hard to achieve," says Paul.What the boys did was to start a business selling ethically-sourced sandals. They're called'Gandys' after the father of India's independence movement, Mahatma Gandhi. "He was in all our schoolbooks as kids; he's on all the money over in India; he's famous for wearing his flip flops," says Paul. The entire project was inspired by their parents’ philoso phy, their globetrotting childhoods and what happened to them in Sri Lanka. Their parents had previously worked in the fashion industry before quitting their jobs and focusing on humanitarian projects. Thus, Gandys is a very fitting tribute to their lives. Gandys sells flip-flops and donates 10 percent of the profits from every pair sold to orphans around the globe. In conjunction with Gandys, the Forkans also foundedOrphans for Orphans, a charitable organization dedicated to helping orphans. They say they can make a profit and do good at the same time：they give 10% of their profit to charity, and have set up their own foundation through which they've been able to open a children's home in Sri Lanka.This year alone, Gandys has sold 250,000 pairs of flip flops, which is only expected to increase. In 2013, the business made around 1.2 million pounds （$1.8 million）. With more profits, more orphans will receive assistance. Hence, it’s safe to say that the Forkan brothers are making their parents very proud.31.The two brothers left the UK for India because _________.A.the UK education system is not so good as that of IndiaB.their parents had humanitarian projects in IndiaC.the voluntary work in Goa attracted themD.their parents expected them to grow through travelling32.We can infer from the passage that _______.A.the parents had great influence on the two brothersB.the two brothers were left hopeless after the tsunamiC.their parents died soon after they settled in IndiaD.the two brothers had a troubled childhood33. Why did the brothers name their sandals after Gandhi？A. Because Gandhi wears and sells flip flops.B. Because Gandhi always helps orphans.C. Because Gandhi is influential in India.D. Because Gandhi fits into their lives in India.34. What can best describe the brothers？A. Unlucky.B. Modest.C. Generous.D. Ambitious.35. What’s the best title of the passage？A. Orphans for OrphansB. Making Parents ProudC. Gandys：Making Money and Doing GoodD. Rise Up from Tragedy to SuccessCWould you like to be an actor, but aren’t the right age or physical type for the part？Don’t give up：there may be a place for you in the world of voice-acting.Twenty-year-old Rickey Collins brings Tucker Foley to life in the cartoon Danny Phantom. In addition to many appearances on television and in movies, Rickey is a voice-over actor, someone we hear but don’t see. Rickey has acted since he was 6, both on and off camera. After school, his grandmother-- a manager and acting coach--helped him develop his skills by doing voice exercises and reading aloud.Voice-over actors do many kinds of acting. They are the voices of cartoon characters on television, in movies and video games, and for communicating toys. In films, they replace the foreign language conversation with English version. They create crowd noises, make commercials, act in radio plays, and record telephone instructions and public announcements. They read books on tape and even record museum tours.Like other actors, voice-over actors need to understand scripts, interpret characters, and breathe correctly. They have to master voice techniques, such as pacing, volume, and range. Sometimes they use their normal voices; other times they change their voices to create differentcharacters or noises. Rickey receives his Danny Phantom scripts only a few days before he tapes each episode（集）. He writes helpful notes on the script to guide himself on speaking his part.Rickey practices, then tapes at the recording studio. He and the other cast members sit in a soundproof booth, acting out their characters as they read their lines into the microphones. “The cartoon gets created after we record the words, so we have to imagine everything in our mind,” says Rickey. Later, the recorded words, music, and sound effects are combined with the cartoon art to create the cartoon we enjoy on TV. Sound interesting？Maybe you can have a “voice” in acting after all!36. The sentence underlined in paragraph 2 means _______.A. Rickey draws the characterB. Rickey names Tucker FoleyC. Rickey makes the character seem realD. Rickey decides the future of Tucker Foley37. From the passage we can infer that _______.A. it’s very complex to become a cartoon film voice-over actorB. Rickey has been involved with acting most of his lifeC. Rickey’s mother helped him a lot with actingD. many people have nice voices38. Paragraph 4 mainly tells us that _______.A. a voice-over actor works very hardB. being a voice-over actor needs talentsC. being a voice-over actor requires skillsD. voice-over actors have more techniques than other actors39. The information in this article would be most valuable to people _______.A. who want to build a career around their voicesB. who need to develop their stage-acting skillsC. who want to understand scriptwritingD. who need to practice voice exercises40. Which is true about voice-over actors？A. They usually create characters according to the films.B. They act as a guide on the museum tours.C. They have to act both on and off camera.D. They must use different voices for different characters and situations.DThe search for beauty spans centuries and continents. Paintings of Egyptians dating back over 4,000 years show both men and women painting their nails and wearing makeup. In 18th-century France, wealthy noblemen wore large wigs （假发）of long, white hair to make themselves attractive. Today, people continue to devote a lot of time and money to their appearance.There is at least one good reason for the desire to be attractive：beauty is power. Studies suggest that good-looking people make more money, get called on more often in class, and are regarded as friendlier.But what exactly is beauty？ It's difficult to describe it clearly, and yet we know it when we see it. And our awareness of it may start at a very early age. In one set of studies, six-month-old babieswere shown a series of photographs. The faces on the pictures had been rated for attractiveness by a group of college students. In the studies, the babies spent more time looking at the attractive faces than the unattractive ones.The idea that even babies can judge appearance makes perfect sense to many researchers. In studies by psychologists, men consistently showed a preference for women with larger eyes, fuller lips, and a smaller nose and chin while women prefer men with large shoulders and a narrow waist. According to scientists, the mind unconsciously tells men and women that these traits—the full lips, clear skin , strong shoulders —equal health and genetic well-being.Not everyone thinks the same way, however. “Our hardwiredness can be changed by all sorts of expectations —mostly cultural,” says C. Loring Brace, an anthropologist at the University of Michigan. What is considered attractive in one culture might not be in another. Look at most Western fashion magazines：the women on the pages are thin, but is this "perfect" body type for women worldwide？ Scientists' answer is no; what is considered beautiful is subjective and varies around the world. They found native peoples in southeast Peru preferred shapes regarded overweight in Western cultures.For better or worse, beauty plays a role in our lives. But it is extremely difficult to describe exactly what makes one person attractive to another. Although there do seem to be certain physical traits considered universally appealing, it is also true that beauty does not always keep to a single, uniform standard. Beauty really is, as the saying goes, in the eye of the beholder.41. People's ideas about beauty __________.A. have existed since ancient timesB. can be easily describedC. have little influence on a person's successD. are based upon strict criteria42. In Paragraph 3, the babies in the study __________.A. were rated for their appearanceB. were entered in a beauty contestC. were shown photos of a group of college studentsD. were able to tell attractive faces from unattractive ones43. The underlined word “traits” in Paragraph 4 probably means __________.A. qualitiesB. measurementsC. judgmentsD. standards44. We can learn from the passage that __________.A. the ideas of beauty vary as people grow upB. the search for beauty is rooted in lack of confidenceC. the standards for beauty are based on scientific researchesD. the understanding of beauty depends on cultural backgrounds45. What can probably be the best title for this passage？A. The History of BeautyB. The Standards for BeautyC. The Mystery of BeautyD.
