AYou never forget your first whale. The impact it makes upon you is huge and life is never quite the same again. My first whale was a 40ft grey, off the coast of California in 1979, and I’ve been a whale addict ever since. Now I have to go whale watching regularly just to survive normal daily life.I may be crazy but I am certainly not alone. The world is filled with whale watchers: since its beginnings in the mid-fifties, whale watching has grown dramatically and now more than 13 million people join organized whale watching trips every year.As a faithful whale watcher, all your holidays center on whales. The only books you read are ones about whales; you wear whale T-shirts, and every time you meet your friends you talk about whales.So what is it about these larger-than-life animals that makes them so special? Their enormous size is one possible explanation: imagine sitting in a small boat next to a blue whale almost as long as a Boeing 737.The fact that we know so little about them is another possibility: modern technology has taken us to the moon and beyond, yet we are only just beginning to understand these extraordinary forms of intelligent life on our own planet.Planning and patience are just two essential requirements for successful whale watching. Planning is needed because there are certain whale hot spots—where you have the best chance of seeing them—and because the larger species tend to be on their way from feeding areas to breeding grounds, so rarely do they stay in one place for more than a few months at a time.Patience is necessary because, even under the best conditions, whales can be tricky to find. However, most commercial whale watching trips have a surprisingly high success rate because they tend to concentrate on well-known whale populations at peak (最高的) seasons.1.What is the impact of the author’s first wh ale in his life?A.He has been crazy ever since.B.He can’t have a normal daily life.C.He has fallen in love with whale watching.D.He has organized watching trips every year.2.What will a faithful whale watcher do usually?A.Take part in whale forums.B.Wear only whale-themed clothes.C.Join an organization for whale watching every month.D.Pay much attention to whales in the holidays.3.Why is patience necessary in whale watching?A.Because it is very difficult to find these clever whales.B.Because whales are on their way to breeding grounds.C.Because the watching conditions are not always good.D.Because they have enormous size as big as a Boeing plane.4.What can be the best title of the passage?A.Tips on Whale WatchingB.Memories of Whale WatchingC.Whales Are Intelligent AnimalsD.Essential Requirements for Whale WatchingBway?A.The cat had changed its color.B.The vet himself had no way to save its life.C.The family wouldn’t see it suffer in its later life.D.The cat suffered so much that it could die at any time.6.The author cried when seeing pet commercials on television because .A.she was alone at homeB.she thought of her lovely catC.she didn’t like to see the things of the catD.her children showed no feeling over the cat’s death7.What does the underlined phrase mean in Paragraph 1?A.In the color of blue.B.Very sadly.C.All of a sudden.D.With much pain.8.What do we know from the last paragraph of Amy’s letter?A.The longer it is, the less you will feel sad about your pet.B.It is important to find a new pet as soon as possible.C.As time goes on, you will feel more sorrow about your pet.D.One can’t live a happy life without a pet around him.CCould radar be the answer to keeping an eye on elderly people without invading their privacy That’s what the researcher s are aiming to prove with their experiment. They say using radar could keep track of older relatives and even detect when they fall over.Right now, 40 million Americans are over the age of 65, and the Census Bureau (人口普查局) predicts that by the year 2030, 80 million Americans will be 65 or older. Due to these rising statistics, families, communities and health care providers are at a cross-road in terms of how to best serve this growing aging population.Many elderly individuals choose to live alone, which causes a great risk as falls and other illnesses become more likely as a person ages. In order to increase the safety and security of an elderly person living alone, researchers are examining the use of through-the-wall radar technology to detect falls and monitor the elderly in their individual living spaces.Graduate students were trained in walking, falling, and functioning like an elderly person and experiments were conducted in the radar-imaging lab on the campus. A clinical instructor and an expert educated and trained the students on how the elderly carry themselves and walk—with or without the assistance of canes or walkers.Their research focuses on various applications for radar imaging, including search and rescue, defense, and law enforcement. Dr Amin and his team, through a grant from Qatar University, are now developing a series of algorithms (算法) to identify the patterns and routines of an elderly person in his or her home.The radar, with the help of these algorithms, can detect when a person is sitting, standing, walking and so on. They say detection of motion, and even classification of what sort of motion it is (such as walking or falling), can be achieved in all rooms inside a home with just one or a few radar units.“Radar has become a mature technology,” explains Dr Amin. “So people have started thinking about transitioning this technology into healthcare.”9. What is the purpose of the researchers doing experiments with radarA.To look after elderly people when they walk around.B.To watch over elderly people when they fall over.C.To predict when elderly people will fall over at home.D.To protect elderly people when they become sick.10.How does the radar keep track of the elderly peopleA.It uses algorithms to classify the motion of a person.B.It recognizes an elderly person by using algorithms.C.It uses its searching system to locate the elderly person.D.It monitors the elderly person by recognizing his behaviors.11.What is suggested in the last paragraphA.Radar is a very reliable technology.B.The radar can only be used inside a room.C.The radar can tell if a person is walking or falling over.D.Technology used in other areas can be used in our daily life.12.Where can you most probably read this passageA.In a science fiction.B.In a handbook.C.In a science journal.D.In directions.DYou often hear people say “I don’t mind as long as I’m happy” or “if you’re happy, I’m happy”. However, concepts about happiness are usually abstract and realizing what makes you happy or figuring out how you can be happier is tricky. The good news is this can now be done—researchers have invented the “wheel of happiness”—a handy, quick self-assessment exercise that makes sense of your life in minutes.This exercise splits your life into eight key areas, displayed around the circumference (圆周) of the wheel. A line runs from each title to the centre of the wheel forming a scale (刻度) of 1-10.You then rate each aspect of your life allowing you to see which areas are dragging you down. Connect the dots to see the shape of your “happiness wheel” (it will never be perfectly round)!So, how does this work Basically, you can give your own level of happiness a number by adding up your scores in each category. Technically, the highest happiness score is 80 (8 areas, rating 10 in each) so you can use this to gauge how much happier you could theoretically be. For example, the wheel has the following figures:B.To develop good relationships with others.C.To move to a fine pleasant place.D.To spend more time with the family and friends.15.What can be the best title of the passageA.The Way to Get HappierB.Work out How Happy You AreC.The Understanding of HappinessD.The Invention of the “Wheel of Happiness”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。

He is considered one of the best actors in Hong Kong. Yes, he is Chow Yun-fat.The example of his long hard struggle for success has been used in a chapter in a Hong Kong middle school textbook. Using his experience, students can learn to make the most of their time and to grab every opportunity to succeed．On hearing about this, Chow said happily, “I really hope that my experiences can make young people understand that one should not be afraid of difficulties and setbacks (挫折), for they are the only way to success.”Indeed, Chow has travelled a long and difficult path to reach his success. In 1955, he was born into a poor family in Hong Kong. When he was 17, he had to leave school. He worked in a number of jobs — as a postman, camera salesman and taxi driver. These experiences paved (铺路) the way for him to play all kinds of roles later in life.Chow broke into the film industry in the late 1970s. He was one of the hardest working actors and starred in a number of popular TV dramas and films including “Shanghai Bund”(《上海滩》) and “A Better Tomorrow”. Since 1985, he has won many awards including Taiwan’s Golden Horse Awards and Hong Kong Film Awards.In 1995, he went to Hollywood. Although he was already over 40, he had to learn English. He even put chopsticks in his mouth to practise pronouncing certain sounds. His film, “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”, began to gain him more fame and recognition around the world. In 1998, the mayor of Chicago set aside January 12 as “Chow Yun-fat Day”.51. Chow Yun-fat has been written into middle school textbooks mainlybecause .A. he plays best in Hong KongB. he keeps on struggling for successC. his experiences are very specialD. he is well thought of52. Chow felt when he learned that he had been written into middle schooltextbooks.A. surprisedB. shyC. sadD. happy53. What can we infer from the passage?A. Chow Yun-fat is proud of his success.B. Chow Yun-fat loves to make a living by selling cameras rather than byperforming.C. Chow Yun-fat has won more awards than other actors.D. Chow Yun-fat is popular both at home and abroad.54. The underlined sentence (in Paragraph 6) suggests .A. chopsticks are of great help to practise English pronunciationB. Chow Yun-fat is willing to struggle with difficultiesC. Chow Yun-fat has suffered a lot before he went to HollywoodD. it is hard for a person who is over 40 years old to learn English55. The author wrote this passage to .A. introduce Chow’s filmsB. praise Chow for his excellent performanceC. call on people to learn from ChowD. show how popular Chow isBA new generation addiction (嗜好) is quickly spreading all over the world. Weboholism, a twentieth century disease, affects people from different ages. They surf the net, use e-mail and speak in chat rooms. They spend many hours on the computer, and it becomes a compulsive (难以控制的) habit. They cannot stop, and it affects their lives.Ten years ago, no one thought that using computers could become compulsive behavior that could affect the social and physical life of computer users. This obsessive behavior has affected teenagers and college students. They are likely to log on computers and spend long hours at different websites.They become hooked on computers and gradually their social and school life is affected by this situation. They spend all free time surfing and don’t concentrate on homework, so this addiction influences their grades and success at schools. Because they can find everything on the websites, they hang out there. Moreover, this addiction to websites influences their social life.They spend more time in front of computers than with their friends. The relation with their friends changes. The virtual life becomes more important than their real life. They have a new language that they speak in the chat rooms and it causes cultural changes in society.Because of the change in their behavior, they begin to isolate (使隔离) themselves from the society and live with their virtual (虚拟的) friends. They share their emotions and feelings with friends who they have never met in their life. Although they feel confident on the computer, they are not confident with real-life friends they have known all their life. It is a problem for thefuture. This addictive behavior is beginning to affect the whole world.56. The main idea of the passage is about .A. the cause of weboholismB. the advantage of weboholismC. the popularity of weboholismD. the influence of weboholism57. The underlined word “obsessive” in Paragraph 2 probably means “”.A. attractiveB. addictiveC. strangeD. potential58. We can infer from the passage that .A. weboholism has the greatest effect on teenagersB. students can hardly balance real and virtual lifeC. people are addicted to games on the InternetD. virtual life is more vivid and attractive anyway59. Which of the following is NOT true of weboholism?A. It is good to the development of the web.B. The chat room language may change social culture.C. The problem will be getting more and more serious later.D. People addicted to the web often become inactive in real life.60. The author’s attitude towards weboholism is that of being .A. optimisticB. positiveC. negativeD. acceptableCFor those who make journeys across the world, the speed of travel today has turned the countries into a series of villages. Distances between them appear no greater to a modern traveler than those which once faced men as they walked from village to village. Jet plane fly people from one end of the earth to the other, allowing them a freedom of movement undreamt of a hundred years ago.Yet some people wonder if the revolution in travel has gone too far. A price has been paid, they say, for the conquest (征服) of time and distance. Travel is something to be enjoyed, not endured. The boat offers leisure and time enough to enjoy the ever-changing sights and sounds of a journey. A journey by train also has a special charm about it. Lakes and forests and wild, open plains sweeping past your carriage window create a grand view in which time and distance mean nothing. On board a plane, however, there is just the blank blue of the sky filling the narrow window of the airplane. The soft lighting, in-flight films and gentle music make up the only world you know, and the hours progress slowly.Then there is the time spent being “processed” at a modern airport. People are conveyed like robots along walkways; baggage is weighed, tickets produced, examined and produced yet again before the passenger move again to another waiting area. Journeys by rail and sea take longer, yes, but the hours devoted to being “processed” at departure and arrival in airports are luckily absent. No wonder, then, that the modern high-speed trains are winning back passengers from the airlines.Man, however, is now a world traveler and cannot turn his back on the airplane. The working lives of too many people depend upon it; whole new industries have been built around its design and operation. The holiday maker, too, with limited time to spend, patiently endures the busy airports and limited space of the flight to gain those extra hours and even days, relaxing in the sun. Speed controls people’s lives; time saved, in work or play, is the important thing —or so we are told. Perhaps those first horsemen, riding free across the wild, open plains, wereenjoying a better world than the one we know today. They could travel at will, and the clock was not their master.61. What does the writer try to express in Paragraph1?A. Travel by plane has speeded up the growth of villages．B. The speed of modern travel has made distances relatively short．C. The freedom of movement has helped people realize their dreams．D. Man has been fond of travelling rather than staying in one place．62. How does the writer support the underlined statement in Paragraph 2?A. By giving instructionsB. By following the order of timeC. By analyzing cause and effectD. By giving examples63. According to Paragraph 3, passengers are turning back to modern high-speedtrains because ．A. they pay less for the ticketsB. they feel safer during the travelC. they can enjoy higher speed of travelD. they don’t have to waste time being “processed”64. What does the last sentence of the passage mean?A. They could enjoy free and relaxing travel．B. They needed the clock to tell the time．C. They preferred travelling on horseback．D. They could travel with their master．65. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Air travel benefits people and industries．B. Train Travel has some advantages over air travel．C. Great changes have taken place in modern travel.D. The high speed of air travel is gained at a cost.DTens of thousands of theatre tickets will be given away to young people next year as part of a government campaign to inspire a lifelong love for theatre.The plan to offer free seats to people whose ages are between 18 to 26 — funded with ￡2.5 million of taxpayers’ money — was announced yesterday by Andy Burnham, the Culture Secretary. It received a cautious welcome from some in the arts world, who expressed concern that the tickets may not reach the most underprivileged(贫穷的).The plan comes as West End theatres are enjoying record audiences, thanks largely to musicals teaming up with television talent shows. Attendances reached 13.6 million in 2007, up 10 percent on 2006, itself a record year. Total sales were up 18 percent on 2006 to almost ￡470 million.One theatre source criticized the Government’s priorities (优先考虑的事) in funding free tickets when pensioners (领养老金的人) were struggling to buy food and fuel, saying: “I don’t know why the Government’s wasting money on this. The Yong Vic, as The Times reported today, offers excellent performances at cheap prices.”There was praise for the Government’s plan from Dominic Cooke of the Royal Court Theatre, who said: “I support any move to get young people into theatre, and especially one that aims to do it all over England, not just in London.”Ninety-five publicly funded theatres could apply for funding under the two-year plan. In return,they will offer free tickets on at least one day each week to 18 to 26-year-olds, first-come, first-served. It is likely to be on Mondays, traditionally a quiet night for the theatre.Mr. Burnham said: “A young person attending the theatre can find it an exciting experience, and be inspired to explore a new world. But sometimes people miss out on it because they fear it’s ‘not for them’. It’s time to change this perception.”Jeremy Hunt, the Shadow Culture Secretary, said: “The real issue is not getting enthusiastic children into the theatre, but improving arts education so that more young people want to go in the first place. For too many children theatres are a no-go area”66. Critics of the plan argued that .A. the theatres would be overcrowdedB. it would be a waste of moneyC. pensioners wouldn’t get free ticketsD. the government wouldn’t be able to afford it67. According to the supporters, the plan should .A. benefit the television industryB. focus on producing better playsC. help increase the sales of ticketsD. include all the young people in England68. Which of the following is TRUE about the plan?A. Ninety-five theatres have received funding.B. Everyone will get at least one free ticket.C. It may not benefit all the young people.D. Free tickets are offered once every day.69. We can infer from the passage that in England .A. many plays are not for young peopleB. many young people don’t like theatreC. people know little about the planD. children used to receive good arts education70. According to the passage, the plan to offer free tickets to young people seems______.A. controversialB. inspiringC. excitingD. unreasonable第二节：阅读填空Getting your children to study can be a little like getting them to eat their vegetables.71 . Make a study time and have it at the same time every day. This will help your kids to learn to schedule their day and will give them a sense of control over how they spend their time.Allow them to study in blocks of time, such as for half an hour with a five-minute break in the middle. 72 . Ideal study times are after dinner or right after school before dinner.Never allow your children to study in front of the television, as that will encourage passive activity. 73 .You’ll also need to help your kids find the right place to study. After you’ve set up a good study time for little learners, set up a good place where they can get those creative juices flowing.74 . Make sure there is a table or a desk and a comfortable chair.75 .This includes helping them out with their homework sometimes and being there for them with the answers to any questions. The input you give your children during study periods will help form a bond and help make studying enjoyable.A. Pick a place where your children can study properly.B. Hold them to the schedule they create for themselves.C. Finally, spend time with your kids when they’re studying.D. Keep the atmosphere light and offer lots of encouragement, too.E. Instead, use TV as a treat or a reward when the homework is completed.F. Try to stop this bad habit by offering some sort of reward.G.

AWhen traveling, it’s important to learn about the customs and etiquette of the global village. What we consider polite behavior at home isn't always accepted outside our borders.●Etiquette of Gift GivingGift giving should be a happy, positive experience. When selecting a present for someone in Netherlands, don't purchase fancy kitchen knives or scissors. Giving sharp, pointy objects as gifts is considered unlucky. Be careful when presenting flowers to a friend or a business partner in Russia. Yellow blooms suggest cheat or a relationship break up. Traditionally, red carnations are placed on the tombs of the dead. Writing cards or notes while visiting South Korea, be mindful of your pen's ink color. Writing a person's name in red ink traditionally suggests that the person has passed away－an important point to remember when giving a birthday card.●Eating CustomsBeing early or on time is viewed as being rude, too eager or even greedy in Venezuela. If you are invited to someone's home for a meal, it's recommended that you arrive 10 minutes later than the requested time. When having a meal in Egypt, don’t use the salt shaker (盐瓶). It's insulting to your host to spread salt on your food, which means that you find the meal terrible. Japan is a verypolite nation, and their fondness for etiquette extends to the use of chopsticks. According to Japanese custom, if you're in the middle of eating, use the opposite end of your chopsticks to secure food from a shared plate. When doing business in Turkey, it’s the custom for your host to pay for your meal. Requests to split the bill won’t be accepted. If you would like to pay your fair share, Turks recommend inviting your host to a follow-up meal.1. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Giving a fancy kitchen knife to a friend from Russia is a good choice.B. You can use blue ink to write notes to your friend from South Korea.C. Dining with Japanese, one can use either end of the chopsticks to get food from shared plates.D. Invited to a meal, one should arrive earlier to show respect for the host.2. What does the underlined word “insulting” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Respectful.B. Challenging.C. Indifferent.D. Offensive.3. Where is this passage probably from?A. A news report.B. A travel essay.C. A culture column.D. A food magazine.BI was sure that I was to be killed. I became terribly nervous. I fumbled(摸索) in my pockets to see if there were any cigarettes, which had escaped their search. I found one and because of my shaking hands, I could barely get it to my lips. But I had no matches, they had taken those. I looked through the bars at the guard. He did not make eye contact with me. I called out to him “Have you got a light?” He looked at me, shrugged and came over to light my cigarette. As he came close and lit the match, his eyes unconsciously locked with mine. At that moment, I smiled.I don’t know why I did that. Perhaps it was nervousness, perhaps it was because, when you get very close, one to another, it is very hard not to smile. In any case, I smiled. In that instant, it was as though a spark jumped across the gap between our two hearts, our two human souls. I know he didn’t want to, but my smile leaped through the bars and caused a smile on his lips, too. He lit my cigarette but stayed near, looking at me directly in the eyes and continuing to smile.I kept smiling at him, now thinking of him as a person and not just a guard. "Do you have kids?" he asked. “Yes, here, here.” I took out my wallet and nervously fumbled for the pictures of my family. He, too, took out the pictures of his family and began to talk about his plans and hopes for them. My eyes were filled with tears. I said that I feared that I’d never see my family again,never have the chance to see them grow up. Tears came to his eyes, too. Suddenly, without another word, he unlocked my cell and silently led me out. Out of the prison, quietly and by back routes, out of the town. There, at the edge of town, he released me. And without another word, he turned back toward the town.4. What do we know about the man from the passage?A. He had lost contact with his family.B. He had been forbidden to smoke.C. He had been searched.D. He had killed someone.5. Why did the man want to smoke cigarettes?A. Because he was sure he was to be killed.B. Because he wanted the guard to set him free.C. Because he wanted to ease his nervousness.D. Because he was a regular heavy smoker.6. What can we infer from the story?A. The guard freed him in the prison.B. The man smiled to please the guard.C. The guard set the man free with permission.D. The man was surprised to be set free.7. What is the most important factor in saving the man’s life?A. The smile.B. The cigarette.C. The tearsD. The wallet.CSince Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay climbed Mount Everest, Mount Qomolangm a’s peak is no longer a lonely place and is turning into a trash heap.So far, more than 350 climbers have successfully reached the peak. And they have complained about waiting for hours in the bottlenecks (狭窄路段) on the way to the peak, a situation that i sn’t just uncomfortable —it’s cold and windy up there — but downright dangerous. If bad weather strikes, climbers can and do die.As a matter of fact, the dangerous crowds aren’t the o nly problem on Qomolangma. All those climbers need to bring a lot of gear—and much of them ends up being left on the mountain, sometimes even the peak itself. Mount Qomolangma is becoming the world’s largest dump. Here’s mountaineer Mark Jenkins writing in National Geographic about the state of Qomolangma: “The two standard routes, the Northeast Ridge and the Southeast Ridge, are disgustingly polluted with oxygen cans and torn tents everywhere.”But the good news is that some mountaineers are taking it upon themselves to clean up Qomolangma. Mountianeer Paul Thelen and his friend Eberhard Schaaf are part of the annual Eco Everest Expedition, which has been cleaning up rubbish from base camps to the peak since 2008. So far they’ve collected over 13 tons of ga rbage.Some of that rubbish is even being used for a higher purpose. As part of the Mount Everest 8844 Art Project, a group of 15 artists from Nepal collected 1.5 tons of garbage brought down the mountain by climbers. They’ve transformed the cans and oxyge n tanks—and in one case, part of the remains of a helicopter—into 74 pieces of art that have already gone on exhibition in Nepal’s capital. Part of the profit from sales will go to the Everest Peakeers Association, which has helped collect tons of rubbish on the slopes of the mountain.8. What do we learn about the bottlenecks on the way to Mount Qomolangma’s peak?A. They are relatively safe.B. They are often crowded.C. They are very easy to pass.D. They are sites of base camps.9. What d oes the underlined word “gear” mean?A. Equipment for climbing mountains.B. The food climbers brought onto the mountain.C. Some important machines used for the bottlenecks.D. Some rubbish found on the mountain.10. The group of 15 Nepali artists_________.A.created works of art using rubbish from QomolangmaB. were employed by the Everest Peakeers AssociationC. climbed Qomolangma and collected 1.5 tons of trashD. painted 74 beautiful pictures of Mount Qomolangma’s peak11. What can be the best title for the text?A. Eco Everest Expedition Proves SuccessfulB. Qomolangma Has Become A Huge MessC. Test Yourself Against QomolangmaD. Recycle Rubbish On QomolangmaDStudents from Florida International University in Miami walked on water Thursday for a class assignment. To do it, they wore aquatic (水上的）shoes they designed and created.Alex Quinones was the first to make it to the other side of a 175-foot lake on campus in record time—just over a minute. Quinones, who wore oversized boat-like shoes，also won last year and will receive $ 500. Students had to wear the aquatic shoes and make it across the lake in order to earn an “A” on the assignment for Architecture Professor Jaime Canaves, Materials and Methods Construction Class. “It's traditional in a school of architecture to do b oats out of cardboard for a boat race. I thought our students were a little bit more special than that,” Canaves said. “We decided to do the walk on water event to take it to the next level.”A total of 79 students competed in the race this year in 41 teams. Only 10 teams failed to cross the lake. Others who fell got back up and made it to the end. The race is open to all students and anyone in the community. The youngest person to ever participate was a 9-year-old girl who competed in place of her mother, while the oldest was a 67-year-old female.A large crowd on campus joined Canaves as he cheered on the racers. He shouted encouraging words, but also laughed as some unsteadily made their way to the end.“A part of this is for them to have more understanding of designing and make it work better,” he said. It is also a lesson in life for the students.“Anything, including walking on water, is possible, if you do the research，test it and go through the design process seriously.”12. For what purpose did the students take part in the race?A. To go across the lake to school.B. To test their balance on the water.C. To pass Professor Canaves’ class.D. To win the prize money of $ 500.13. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. The students wore shoes distributed by Professor Canaves to walk across the lake.B. The students who fell into the water were criticized seriously by the Professor.C. Most students finished the class assignment successfully.D. The students took part in the race to challenge their physical abilities.14. What can we infer from the passage?A. Alex Quinones is a top student in the university.B. It’s a custom for the people in the community to get involved in student activities.C. The student who made it to the end in the race would succeed in their professionalcareer.D. Professor Canaves attaches importance to hands-on learning experience.15. The purpose of the passage is to ___________.A. show his approval of the unique teaching styleB. report an interesting assignmentC. inspire teachers to be more creativeD. encourage more people to take part in the race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。

AGive it five minutesI used to be a hothead. Whenever anyone said anything, I’d think of a way to disagree. I’d push back hard if something didn’t fit my world-view.It’s like I had to be first with an opinion — as if being first meant something. But what it really meant was that I wasn’t thinking hard enough about the problem. The faster you re act, the less you think. Not always, but often.This came to a head back in 2007. I was speaking at the Business Innovation Factory conference in Providence, RI. So was Richard Saul Wurman. After my talk Richard came up to introduce himself and compliment my talk. That was very generous of him. He certainly didn’t have to do that.And what did I do? I pushed back at him about the talk he gave. While he was making his points on stage, I was taking an inventory of the things I didn’t agree with. And when pres ented with an opportunity to speak with him, I quickly pushed back at some of his ideas. I must have seemed like such an asshole.His response changed my life. It was a simple thing. He said “Man, give it five minutes.” I asked him what he meant by that? H e said, it’s fine to disagree, it’s fine to push back, it’s great to have strong opinions and beliefs, but give my ideas some time to set in before you’re sure you want to argue against them. “Five minutes” represented “think”, not react. He was totally ri ght. I came into the discussion looking to prove something, not learn something.This was a big moment for me.Richard has spent his career thinking about these problems. He’s given it 30 years. And I gaveit just a few minutes. Now, certainly he can be wr ong and I could be right, but it’s better to think deeply about something first before being so certain you’re right.There’s also a difference between asking questions and pushing back. Pushing back means you already think you know. Asking questions means you want to know. Ask more questions.Learning to think first rather than react quick is a life-long pursuit. It’s tough. I still get hot sometimes when I shouldn’t. But I’m really enjoying all the benefits of getting better.If you aren’t sure why this i s important, think about this quote from Jonathan Ive regarding Steve Jobs’ reverence(respect) for ideas:And just as Steve loved ideas, and loved making stuff, he treated the process of creativity with a rare and a wonderful reverence. You see, I think he better than anyone understood that while ideas ultimately can be so powerful, they begin as fragile, barely formed thoughts, so easily missed, so easily compromised, so easily just squished.That’s deep. Ideas are fragile. They often start powerless. They’re barely there, so easy to ignore or skip or miss.There are two things in this world that take no skill: 1. Spending other people’s money and 2. Dismissing an idea.Dismissing an idea is so easy because it doesn’t involve any work. You can scoff at it. You can ignore it. You can puff some smoke at it. That’s easy. The hard thing to do is protect it, think about it, let it marinate, explore it, riff on it, and try it. The right idea could start out life as the wrong idea.So next time you hear something, or someone, talk about an idea, pitch an idea, or suggest an idea, give it five minutes. Think about it a little bit before pushing back, before saying it’s too hard or it’s too much work.Those things may be true, but there may be another truth in there too: It may be worth it.1. Which of the following best describes the word hothead from the first paragraph?A. SupportiveB. FastC. NervousD. Aggressive2. What did the author do while Richard was talking in the business conference?A. He kept notes for things that he did not agree with.B. He pushed Richard and beat him.C. He was preparing for his own speech.D. He was getting ready to compliment him.3. Which of the following is the reason for quoting Jonathan Ive?A. The author thinks Steve Jobs is the best when it comes to creativity.B. The author is inspired by Steve Job's attitude towards new ideas.C. The author respects Steve Job because he is creative and he likes ideas.D. The author thinks Steve Job has ideas that are strong and powerful and are hard to miss.4. What is the core argument that the author put forward?A. Dismissing ideas is an effortless thing to do so you should always protect ideas carefully.B. The right idea always starts from a wrong idea and you need to protect it from beingdismissed.C. One should be careful when it comes to judge a new idea.D. Every idea, whether powerful or fragile, deserves five minutesBBats are impressive creatures. They are known to carry dangerous diseases like SARS without getting sick.So researchers wanted to know: How do bats fight off so many deadly diseases? Learning their secret could help doctors better treat humans who have these diseases, therefore saving millions of lives.To solve this problem, a team of researchers from Australia and China analyzed bat DNA. The scientists studied two kinds of bats—the Australian megabat, known as the flying fox, and the Chinese microbat. The scientists then arranged the bat genome (基因组) in order by comparing their DNA.The researchers now think that the special immunity (免疫性) to illness that bats have may be connected to their ability to fly.Bats are the only mammals (哺乳动物) that can truly fly. Flying uses up a lot of energy. The energy burned for flying produces something in the animal called free radicals (自由基). Free radicals can damage DNA and lead to diseases such as cancer.However, bats are not affected by free radicals produced during flight. The reason is that bats carry special genes to repair any damaged DNA.Scientists th ink that because bats fly and produce free radicals, they’ve evolved to carry genes that shaped their special immune system.“We’re thinking that the evolution of flight led to a sort of effect, influencing not only the immune system but also things like a ging and cancer,” says Chris Cowled, of the Australian Animal Health Laboratory. “We think we’ve really found something special.”Researchers believe that this discovery might one day be key to helping humans fight diseases such as cancer that attack the immune system and damage DNA.5. What’s true about bats according to the passage?A. They carry many deadly diseases like SARS so it’s easy for them to get sick.B. Bats are the only animals that can tell directions easily.C. Bats are among the mammals that can truly fly.D. Researchers studied bats to help save people.6. According to researchers, bats can fight off many deadly diseases mainly because ________.A. they have developed special immune system through evolutionB. they are able to fly, which burns a lot of energyC. free radicals in their bodies can damage DNA and cause diseasesD. they carry no special genes to repair damaged DNA7. The passage is mainly about ________.A. bats and dangerous diseasesB. bats and their special immune systemC. free radicals and immune systemD. ways to cure cancerCThroughout history there have always been people who can make other people laugh. Early clowns (小丑) often both annoyed and delighted audiences with their comments and songs. They were not the si lent performers seen in today’s circus rings (马戏场). Clowns lost their voices when the large three-ring circuses made it impossible for the audience to hear them.Circus clowns give performances in various ways. Walk-around clowns use an animal or something as part of their performance. A carpet clown moves around, talking with the audience and performing while the acts change in the rings. Then there are acrobatic clowns, riding clowns, juggling clowns and others.Everything a clown does looks easy, but it’s not. Making people laugh can be hard work. Clowns must be in good physical condition to prevent injuries. Each funny move is carefully timed and well-practiced. Most clowns have also been trained as acrobats, jugglers or aerial artists, and many include such skills into their acts.Generally, there are three categories of circus clowns—whiteface, auguste and character. Each has a special makeup style and costume. Each has a typical act as well.The neat whiteface is usually a strict, in-charge character who sets up the punch line (the point of a joke) for the joke with a partner who is typically an auguste. His facial features are neatly detailed in red or black, and his costumes look so loose with a ruffle around the neck.Auguste clown got his name from a German nickname for someone who is clumsy. The auguste wears light-colored makeup, but white is used around the mouth and eyes, and there’s a big red nose. This clown performs a great deal of humor. An oversized suit or baggy trousers allow free movement for all the clumsy acts. He also wears big shoes.Character clowns perform as different personalities—cowboys, grandmothers or concert conductors. The most famous character clown, however, is the tramp. Tramps wear different styles of makeup and torn costumes. Some tramp clowns are happy-go-lucky. Others are extremely sad. Still others act like gentlemen who just happen to be out of money.Clowns have a long and interesting history and use serious techniques. However, the children and adults at the cir cus don’t need to know these facts to get ready for fun when they hear “Bring in the clowns!”8. According to the Paragraph 1, why did clowns lose their voices?A. Because they wanted to avoid annoying audiences.B. Because there were only a few audiences in the ring.C. Because audiences often spoke louder than clowns.D. Because they could not be heard in the three-ring circuses.9. If a clown is dressed in baggy clothing, which type of clown does he belong to?A. The auguste or the whitefaceB. The whiteface or the characterC. The auguste or the characterD. The riding clown or the tramp10. What makes the character clowns different?A. He plays a leading role in performances.B. He wears more attractive make-up.C. He performs in a more funny way.D. He acts in different characters.11. What is the passage mainly about?A. The long history of clowns.B. Varied opinions on clowns.C. Some basic facts about clowns.D. Three different types of clowns.DCan you be too beautiful? It is hardly a problem that most of us have to bother — as much as we might like to dream that it were the case.Yet the blessings and curses of beauty have been a long-standing interest in psychology. Do those blessed with shiny faces and an attractive body live in a cloud of appreciation — or does it sometimes pay to be ordinary?Combing through decades of findings, social psychologists Lisa Slattery Walker and Tonya Frevert at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte have reviewed all the evidence to date and their conclusions are not what you might expect.At the most basic level, beauty might be thought to carry a kind of halo(光环) around it; we see that someone has one good quality, and by association, our deep mind may assume that they have other good ones too.Even in the courts, a pleasing appearance can work its magic. Attractive criminals are likely to get less strict sentences, or to escape punishment entirely; attractive plaintiffs(原告), meanwhile, are more likely to win their case and get bigger financial settlements. “It’s an effect seen everywhere,” says Walker.But if beauty pays in most circumstances, there are still situations where it can have opposite results. While attractive men may be considered better leaders, for instance, hidden sexist prejudices(偏见) can work against attractive women, making them less likely to be hired for high-level jobs that require power. And as you might expect, good-looking people of both sexes run into envy — one study found that if you are interviewed by someone of the same sex, they may be less likely to employ you if they judge that you are more attractive than they are.More worryingly, being beautiful or handsome could harm your medical care. We tend to link good looks to health, meaning that illnesses are often taken less seriously when they affect the good-looking. When treating people for pain, for instance, doctors tend to take less care over the more attractive people.And the bubble of beauty can be a somewhat lonely place. One study in 1975, for instance, found that people tend to move further away from a beautiful woman on the pathway — perhaps as amark of respect, but still making interaction more distant. “Attractiveness can convey more power over visible space —but that in turn can make others feel they can’t approach that person,” says Frevert. Interestingly, the online dating website OKCupid recently reported that people with the most beautiful pictures are less likely to find dates than those with less perfect pictures.Ultimately, Frevert points out that focusing too much on your appearance can itself be harmful if it creates stress and anxiety —even for those already blessed with good looks. “If you are crazy about attractiveness, it may affect your experience and interactions,” she says. It’s an outdated saying, but no amount of beauty can make up for a bad personality. As the writer Dorothy Parker put it so elegantly: “Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone.”12. From paragraph 1, we can learn that _______.A. some may be bothered by their unattractive appearanceB. most people are not afraid of being too beautifulC. we might always dream about being bothered by othersD. being too beautiful can be a problem bothering everyone13. Which is the benefit for beautiful people?A. An attractive plaintiff has more chances to get away with punishment.B. Women with pleasing appearance will always be considered as better leaders.C. Good-looking people are often regarded as having many good qualities.D. Beautiful criminals are more likely to persuade the judge and win the case.14. What can be inferred from OKCupid’s finding?A. People with perfect pictures will find dates sooner or later.B. Less attractive women are lonely because of their appearances.C. We may feel more excited to approach those with attractive appearances.D. Don’t use perfect pictures when trying to find dates online.15. What might be the best title for the passage?A. Negative Sides of BeautyB. Sexist PrejudiceC. Blessed with BeautyD. Beauty vs Ugliness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。
