AI’ve been in the taxicab business for thirty-five years, and I know there is a lot about it that is not so good. Taxicab drivers have to be tough fellows to be able to work in New York. You’ve got to fight the New York traffic eight hours a day these days, so people get the wrong impression that they are bad.Actually, taxi drivers are just like other people. Most of them will behave as honest fellows. You read in the papers almost every week that a taxi driver turns in money or jewels that people leave in their cabs. If they weren’t honest, you wouldn’t be reading those stories in the papers.One time in Brooklyn, I found a diamond ring in my cab. I remembered helping a lady with a lot of packages that day, so I went back to where I had dropped her. It took me almost two days to trace her down in order to return her ring to her. I didn’t get as much as “thank you”. Still I felt good because I had done what was right. I think I felt better than she did.I was born and raised in Ireland and lived there until I was nineteen years old. Then I came to this country where I had a family and bought my own cab. Life hasn’t been too easy at times, but my wife takes care of our money and we have a good bit put away for a rainy day.When I started driving a cab, Park Avenue was mostly a bunch of coal yards. Hoofer’s Brewery was right next to where the Waldorf-Astoria is now. I did pretty well, even in those days. In all my years of driving a taxicab, I have never had any trouble with the public, not even with drunks.I believe honesty is one of the greatest gifts. I know they call it a lot of fancy names these days, like integrity (正直), etc. But it doesn’t make any difference what they call it; it’s still what makes a man a good citizen. This is my code, and I try to live by.21. Why do people think taxicab drivers are bad according to the passage?A. They have been cheated by taxicab drivers before.B. Taxicab drivers are dishonest.C. Most taxicab drivers are tough fellows.D. Some taxicab drivers did not return their lost properties.22. How did the author return the diamond ring to the lady?A. By giving her a call and visiting her.B. By sending her a letter asking her to claim the ring in person.C. By advertising in the papers.D. By going back to where she got off and traced her down for almost 2 days.23. The underlined phrase “a rainy day” in paragraph 4 refer s to ______.A. a day when it rainsB. a time when a family has financial problemsC. a day when the a uthor can’t drive a taxiD. a time when the author has trouble with drunks24. How does the author feel as a taxicab driver?A. Proud and satisfied.B. Annoyed and stressful.C. Disappointed and discouraged.D. Unwilling and regretful.BWorking women make up nearly half of the U.S. workforce, and 51 percent of professional workers, like doctors, lawyers, nurses and accountants, are female. While climbing the career ladder can be rewarding, it often comes with one big downside: weight gain!New research published this week in the International Journal of Obesity shows that working women are more likely to be overweight, and the more you work, the more pounds you’re likely to pile on. Like many women, I work... a lot! As a self-employed nutrition communications specialist, I sit at my desk, in front of a computer, for hours on end. Sitting alone is one of the worst things you can do for your health, and it’s directly linked to being overweight and increased fatness, so the fact that women in the workforcegain weight isn’t that surprising. If you work, you have less time to move around. Obesity(肥胖症)researchers are revealing many other ways that employment is harmful to your diet and waistline.In the International Journal of Obesity study, some 9,276 Australian women aged 45-50 had their body weight and employment status monitored for two years. Results? Those who worked more than 35 hours were likely to gain weight compared to those who worked fewer hours or were out of the workforce. What’s more, the more hours a woman worked in a week, the more weight she gained.The authors of the Australian study attribute weight gain among working women to inactivity, lack of time for food preparation, more use of prepared foods, high levels of stress, lack of sleep and consuming more alcohol. I’ll also add in travel, meals eaten out and working at night as other factors that I can find to make balancing work with a healthy diet a challenge.25. The text above is probably taken from ______.A. a sports reportB. a fashion journalC. a health and fitness magazineD. an advertisement post26. A woman who works as an accountant is more likely to ______.A. gain more weightB. have more time to move aroundC. work a full time jobD. keep a balanced diet27. Which is NOT the cause of working women weight gaining according to the passage?A. Lacking time for food preparation.B. Using more prepared food.C. Consuming too much alcohol.D. Taking part in more activities.28. What can be a suitable title for the test?A. Less activity leads to fat.B. Ways of gaining weight.C. Effects of weight gaining.D. Working women more likely pile on pounds.CThere’s a “culture of walking and texting” on the Utah Valley University campus, according to con versations with students, but that’s not the main reason Matt Bambrough, the creative director at UVU, came up with an idea to paint a “texting lane” on a staircase leading up to the Wellness Center.According to Bambrough, it’s first and foremos t a design project—the texting lane was a tongue-in-cheek(戏谑)reference to the college-wide epidemic(流行)of kids walking around with their faces buried in their iPhones.“You have 18–24-year-olds walking down the hall with smart phones. Y ou’re almost bound t o run into someone somewhere; it’s something we’re dealing with in this day and age,” Bambrough said. “But preventing collisions isn’t the reason we did it—we did it to arouse the students’ attention. It’s meant to be there for people to look at and enjoy.”Still, when talking to Utah Valley students, it sounds like texting and walking can be quite the annoyance.Robbie Poffenberger, an assistant news editor at the UVU Review, said that most collisions he witnesses aren’t human-on-human; rather, it’s genera lly human-on-inanimate-object. “They walk into barriers—chairs on the side of the hallway, or railings,” Poffenberger said, “I’m sure they’re fairly embarrassed.”29. What do we learn about the “texting lane” from the text?A. It is a special campus culture in Utah Valley University.B. It is used to encourage the campus culture.C. It is painted on a staircase leading to everywhere.D. It is popular with students in universities.30. According to Bambrough, ______.A. the “texting lane” is to attract students’ attentionB. we don’t have to face the problem in this ageC. what they did is to prevent the collisionsD. students enjoy looking at each other31. How do students feel about texting and walking?A. They are worried.B. They are annoyed.C. They are puzzled.D. They are surprised.32. What would most students run into from what Robbie said?A. Students in the same direction.B. Teachers opposite to them.C. Barriers on campus.D. Grass on campus.DAt Bristol Zoo Gardens you can enjoy an amazing world of animals, all within our award-winning 12 acre gardens. With over 400 species and nine animals houses under cover, it’s one of the best days out in Bristol whatever the weather.

第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A 、B 、C 和D )中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AGrowing up in Philadelphia, Lieberman started cooking with his stay-at-home dad when he was seven. His food-loving family had two kitchens, and he quickly learned what was the best way to bake his cakes. Lieberman improved his kitchen skills greatly during a year abroad before college, learning from a cook in Italy and studying local specialties (地方特色菜)in Germany, Spain and France. At Yale, he was known for throwing dinner parties, single-handed frying and baking while mixing drinks for dozens of friends. Just for fun, he and some friends decided to tape a show named Campus Cuisine about his cooking. Lieberman was a real college student showing his classmates how to do things like making drinks out of dining-hall fruit. That helped the show become very popular among the students. They would stop Lieberman after classes to ask for his advice on cooking. Tapes of the show were passed around, with which his name went beyond the school and finally to the Food Network. Food Network producer Flay hopes the young cook will find a place on the network television. He says Lieberman’s charisma is key.“Food TV isn’t about food anymore,” says Flay. “It’s about your personality and finding a way to keep people’s eyeballs on your show.”But Lieberman isn’t putting all his eggs in one basket. After taping the first season of the new show, Lieberman was back in his own small kitchen preparing sandwiches. An airline company was looking for someone to come up with a tasteful, inexpensive and easy-to-make menu to serve on its flights, Lieberman got the job. 21. We can learn from the text that Lieberman’s family __________.A. love cooking at homeB. have relatives in EuropeC. often hold partiesD. own a restaurant 22. The Food Network got to know Lieberman __________.A. at one of his partiesB. from his teachersC. on a television programD. through his taped show23. What does the underlined word “charisma” in the text refer to?A . A way to show one’s achievement. B. A natural ability to attract others. C. Lieberman’s after -class interest. D. Lieberman’s fin e cooking skill. 24. Why did the airline company give Lieberman the job?A. He could prepare meals in a small kitchen.B. He was famous for his shows on Food TV.C. He could cook cheap, delicious and simple meals.D. He was good at using eggs to make sandwiches. BWomen are friendly. But men are more competitive. Why? Researchers have found it’s all down to the hormone oxytocin (荷尔蒙催生素). Although known as the love hormone, it affects the sexes differently.“ Women tend to be social in their behavior. They often share with others. But men tend to be competitive. They are trying to improve their social status,” said Professor Ryan.Generally, people believe that the hormone oxytocin is let out in our body in various social situations and our body creates a large amount of it during positive social interactions (互动) such as falling in love or giving birth.But in a previous experiment Professor Ryan found that the hormone is also let out in our body during negative social interactions such as envy.2016年吉林省高考英语预测卷Further researches showed that in men the hormone oxytocin improves the ability to recognize competitive relationships, but in women it raises the ability to recognize friendship.Professor Ryan’s recent experiment used 62 men and women a ged 20 to 37. Half of the participants received oxytocin. The other half received placebo (安慰剂).After a week, the two groups switched with participants. They went through the same procedure with the other material.Following each treatment, they were shown some video pictures with different social interactions. Then they were asked to analyze the relationships by answering some questions. The questions were about telling friendship from competition. And their answers should be based on gestures, body language and facial expressions.The results indicated that, after treatment with oxytocin, men’s ability to correctly recognize competitive relationships improved, but in women it was the ability to correctly recognize friendship that got better.Professor Rya n thus concluded: “Our experiment proves that the hormone oxytocin can raise people’s abilities to better distinguish different social interactions. And the behavior differences between men and women are caused by biological factors that are mainly hormon al.”25. What causes men and women to behave differently according to the text?A. Oxytocin.B. Placebo.C. The gesture.D. The social status.26. What can we learn from Professor Ryan’s previous experiment?A. Oxytocin affects our behavior in a different way.B. Our body lets out oxytocin when we are deep in love.C. Oxytocin improves our abilities to understand people's behavior differences.D. Our body produces oxytocin when we feel unhappy about others’success.27. Why did Professor Ryan conduct the recent experiment?A. To know the differences between friendship and competition.B. To test the effect of oxytocin on the ability to recognize social interactions.C. To know the differences between friendship and competition.D. To know pe ople’s different abilities to answer questions.28. The author develops the text by __________.A. explaining people's behaviorsB. describing his own experiencesC. discussing research experimentsD. distinguishing sexual differencesCIf doctors want to test you for something, they’ll usually take a blood or urine sample (尿样). But wouldn’t it be much more convenient if they just asked you to breathe through a special instrument?In fact, your breath can say a lot about you. In traditional Chinese medicine, doctors draw a conclusion about the health state of a patient based on the smell of his or her breath; trained dogs and rats can identify the smells of the breaths of people suffering from certain cancers; traffic police also monitor drivers’ alcohol consumption by testing their breaths.Just like blood and urine, your breath contains lots of “metabolites ”--- the waste chemicals that the body produces, which vary from person to person. They are like personal health fingerprints, which is why scientists sometimes call them “ breath prints”, according to Science Daily.Compared to blood or urine testing, breath testing takes only seconds instead of hours, and it requires neither a needle nor a container to hold the body fluids (体液). This means the test can be taken frequently to better detect early signs of diseases and monitor the progress of a medical treatment.On the other hand, as an identifier, you might think that breaths are not as reliable as fingerprints since they might change based on what you eat. However, researchers in Zurich, Switzerland mapped 11 healthy volunteers’ chemical patterns by having them breathe through a special instrument, and they found that each pattern was unique and the patterns didn’t change much throughout the day, reported BBC.“Our goal is to develop breath analysis to the point where it becomes competitive with the established analysis of blood and urine,” said Malcolm Kohler, professor at the University Hospital Zurich.29. According to the text we know that __________.A. breath varies from person to person based on foodB. your breath may give you away if you are not carefulC. doctors can test one’s breath to find about his illnessD. dogs can identify people with certain cancers30. In comparison with blood or urine testing, breath testing is __________.A. comfortable and convincingB. traditional and reliableC. accurate and competitiveD. quick and convenient31. What is the author’s attitude toward breath testing?A. Doubtful.B. Approving.C. Unconcerned.D. Worried.32. What can we infer from the text?A. Breath testing is reliable and may have a bright future.B. Blood or urine testing will be less used in medical treatment.C. Doctors have found the best way to detect early signs of diseases.D. Traditional Chinese medicine is becoming more and more popular.DEvery year, the fascinating tourist destinations below are attracting travelers from home and abroad to St. Louis, which, founded in 1764 by French traders, today is the fifteenth largest urban area in the United States.★American Kennel Club Museum of the DogDog lovers who visit St. Louis won’t want to miss this 14,000-square-foot museum.

Where is the blue food?Well, Carlin pretty much has it right there s not no blue food, but there s certainly not a lot of it. Fresh-picked blueberries are blue, though they bee purple hen they are turned into jam. The blue in blueberries like the purple in grapes and the red in tomatoes is found in nature. But it isn t a hot color for food. People don t seem to prefer blue food. Some diet programs even suggest that those determined to lose eight should make their food blue.Eating, in part, begins ith our eyes. Charles Spence an experimental psychologist from Oxford University points out that color can change our taste experience. Commonly, e consider red-colored foods up to 20% seeter than they actually are; and green foods as being more sour. Spence suggests: human expectations may be influenced by our long history of atching - green fruits can bee seet as they gro up and turn red. But hat about blue? Except blueberries, much of the blue food e see these days is dyed blue artificially. Food producers argue that artificial color doesn t do much harm to health. A lot of research shos that some physical problems of kids are related to food dyes hile other studies sho no effects at all. Blue birthday cake or even blue-dyed chicken can be served on the dinner table. So hat?25. George Carlin s ords are placed at the beginning of the passage to _______.A. sho the author s opinionB. introduce a TV shoC. tell a famous personD. lead in the topic26. Which of the folloing statements of blue is true?A. Blueberries are alays blue, hether fresh or not.B. The blue in blueberries is found unnatural.C. Blue is not a very popular color for foods.D.

The young solider was rushed to the airport in time to catch the plane.It was evening when the young solider walked into the hospital. A nurse took him into the bedsides of the old man.“Your son is here,” she said to the man. She had to repeat the words several times before the old man’s eyes opened. He dimly saw the young man and got great comfort. He reached out his hand.

FoodCMedia Selection for AdvertisementsAfter determining the target audience for a product or service, advertising agencies must select the appropriate media for the advertisement. We discuss here the major types of media used in advertising. We focus our attention on seven types of advertising: television, newspapers, radio, magazines, out-of-home. Internet, and direct mail.TelevisionTelevision is an attractive medium for advertising because it delivers mass audiences to advertisers. When you consider that nearly three out of four Americans have seen the game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? you can understand the power of television to communicate with a large audience. When advertisers create a brand, for example, they want to impress consumers with the brand and its image. Television provides an ideal vehicle for this type of communication.But television is an expensive medium, and not all advertisers can afford to use it.Television's influence on advertising is fourfold. First, narrowcasting means that television channels are seen by an increasingly narrow segment of the audience. The Golf Channel, for instance.is watched by people who play golf. Home and Garden Television is seen by those interested in household improvement projects. Thus, audiences are smaller and more homogeneous(具有共同特点的) than they have been in the past. Second, there is an increase in the number of television channels available to viewers, and thus, advertisers. This has also resulted in an increase in the sheer number of advertisements to which audiences are exposed. Third, digital recording devices allow audience members more control over which commercials they watch. Fourth, control over programming is being passed from the networks to local cable operators and satellite programmers.Newspaper?After television, the medium attracting the next largest annual ad revenue is newspapers. The New York Times, which reaches a national audience, accounts for $1 billion in ad revenue annually, ii m increased its national circulation (发行量) by 40% and is now available for home delivery in ion ciues. Locally, newspapers are the largest advertising medium.Newspapers are a less expensive advertising medium than television and provide a way for advertisers to communicate a longer. more detailed message to their audience than they can through 48 hours,meaning newspapers are also a quick way of getting the massage out.Newspapers are ofen the most important form of news for a local community, and they develop a high degree of loyalty from local reader.RadioAdvertising on radio continues to grow Radio is often used in conjunction with outdoor bill-boards (广告牌) and ihe Internet to reach even more customers than television. Advertisers are likely to use radio because it is a less expensive medium than television, which means advertisers can afford to repeal their ads often. Internet companies are also turning 10 radio advertising. Radio provides a way for advertisers to communicate with audience members at all times of the day.Consumers listen to radio on their way to school or work, at work, on the way home, and in the evening hours.Two major changes—satellite and Internet radio—will force radio advertisers to adapt their methods. Both of these radio forms allow listeners to tune in stations that are more distant than the local stations they could receive in the past. As a result, radio will increasingly attract target audiences who live many miles apart.MagazinesNewsweeklies, women’s titles, and business magazines have all seen increases in advertising because they attract the high-end market, magazines are popular with advertisers because of the narrow market that they deliver. A broadcast medium such as network television attracts all types of audience members, but magazine audiences are more homogeneous, if you read sportsillustrated, for example, you h ave much in common with the magazine’s other readers. Advertisers see magazines as an efficient way of reaching target audience members.Advertiser using the print media-magazines and newspapers-will need to adapt to two main changes. First, the internet will bring larger audiences to local newspapers, these second. Advertisers will have to understand how to use an increasing number of magazines for their target audiences. Although some magazines will maintain national audiences, a large number of magazines will entertain narrower audiences.Out-of-home advertisingOut-of-home advertising. Also called place-based advertising, has become an increasingly effective way of reaching consumers, who are more active than ever before. Many consumers today do not sit at home and watch television. Using billboards, newsstands, and bus shelters for advertising is an effective way of reaching these on-the-go consumers. More consumers travel longer distances to and from work, which also makes out-of-home advertising effective, technology has changed the nature of the billboard business, making it a more effective medium than in the past.Using digital printing, billboard companies can print a billboard in 2 hours, compared with 6 days previously. This allows advertisers more variety in the types of messages they create because they.Can change their messages more quickly.InternetAs consumers become more comfortable with online shopping, advertisers will seek to reach this market As consumers get more of their news and information from the Internet, the ability of television and radio to get the word out to consumers will decrease. The challenge to Internet advertisers Is to create ads that audience members remember.Internet advertising will play a more prominent role in organizations' advertising in the near ftuture. Internet audiences tend to be quite homogeneous, but small. Advertisers will have to adjust their methods to reach these audiences and will have to adapt their persuasive strategies to the online medium as well.Direct mailA final advertising medium is direct mail, which uses mailings to consumers to communicate a client's message Direct mail includes newsletters. postcards and special promotions. Direct mail is an effective way to build relationships with consumers.For many businesses.direct mail is the most effective from of advertising.28. With the increase in the number of TV channels_________.A. the cost of TV advertising has decreasedB. the nuiflber of TV viewers has increasedC. advertisers' interest in other media has decreasedD. the number of TV ads people can see has increasedpared with television, newspapers as an advertising medium_________________.A. earn a larger annual ad revenueB. convey more detailed messagesC. use more production techniquesD. get messages out more effectively30.Advertising on radio continues to grow because ___________.A. more local radio stations have been set upB. modern technology makes it more entertainingC. it provides easy access to consumersD. it has been revolutionized by Internet radio.31.Magazines are seen by advertisers as an efficient way to___________.A. reach target audiencesB. modern technology makes it more entertainingC. appeal to educated people.D. convey all kinds of messagesDUniversities Branch OutAs never before in their long history, universities have become instruments of national competition as well as instruments of peace. They are the place of the scientific discoveries that move economies forward, and the primary means of educating the talent required to obtain and maintain competitive advantage. But at the same time, the opening of national borders to the flow of goods, services, information and especially people has made universities a powerful force for global integration, mutual understanding and geopolitical stability.In response to the same forces that have driven the world economy, universities have become more self-consciously global: seeking students from around the world who represent the entire range of cultures and values, sending their own students abroad to prepare them for global careers, offering courses of study that address the challenges of an interconnected world and collaborative (合作的) research programs to advance science for the benefit of all humanity.Of the forces shaping higher education none is more sweeping than the movement across borders.Over the past three decades the number of students leaving home each year to study abroad has grown at an annual rate of 3.9 percent, from 800 000 in 1975 to 2.5 million in 2004. Most travel from one developed nation to another, but the flow from developing to developed countries is growing rapidly. The reverse flow, from developed to developing countries, is on the rise, too.Today foreign students earn 30 percent of the doctoral degrees awarded in the United States and 38 percent of those in the United Kingdom. And the number crossing borders for undergraduate study is growing as well, to 8 percent of the undergraduates at America's best institutions and 10 percent of all undergraduates in the UK. In the United States, 20 percent of the newly hired professors in science and engineering are foreign-born, and in China many newly hired faculty members at the top research universities received their graduate education abroad.Universities are also encouraging students to spend some of their undergraduate years in another country. In Europe, more than 140 000 students participate in the Erasmus program each year, taking courses for credit in one of 2 200 participating institutions across the continent. And in the United States, institutions are helping place students in summer internships (实习) abroad to prepare them for global careers. Yale and Harvard have led the way, offering every undergraduate at least one international study or internship opportunity—and providing the financial resources to make it possible.Globalization is also reshaping the way research is done. One new trend involves sourcing portions of a research program to another country. Yale professor and Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator Tian Xu directs a research centre focused on the genetics of human disease atShanghai's Fudan University, in collaboration with faculty colleagues from both schools. The Shanghai centre has 95 employees and graduate students working in a 4 300-square-meter laboratory facility. Yale faculty, postdoctors and graduate students visit regularly and attend videoconference seminars with scientists from both campuses. The arrangement benefits both countries; Xu's Yale lab is more productive, thanks to the lower costs of conducting research in China, and Chinese graduate students, postdoctors and faculty get on-the-job training from a world-class scientist and his US team.As a result of its strength in science, the United States has consistently led the world in the commercialization of major new technologies, from the mainframe computer and the integrated circuit of the 1960s to the Internet infrastructure(基础设施) and applications software of the 1990s. The link between university-based science and industrial application is often indirect but sometimes highly visible: Silicon Valley was intentionally created by Stanford University, and Route 128 outside Boston has long housed companies spun off from MIT and Harvard. Around the world, governments have encouraged copying of this model, perhaps most successfully in Cambridge, England, where Microsoft and scores of other leading software and biotechnology companies have set up shop around the university.For all its success, the United States remains deeply hesitant about sustaining the research-university model. Most politicians recognize the link between investment in science and national economic strength, but support for research funding has been unsteady. The budget of the National Institutes of Health doubled between 1998 and 2003, but has risen more slowly than inflation since then. Support for the physical sciences and engineering barely kept pace with inflation during that same period. The attempt to make up lost ground is welcome, but the nation would be better served by steady, predictable increases in science funding at the rate of long-term GDP growth, which is on the order of inflation plus 3 percent per year.American politicians have great difficulty recognizing that admitting more foreign students can greatly promote the national interest by increasing international understanding. Adjusted for inflation, public funding for international exchanges and foreign-language study is well below the levels of 40 years ago. In the wake of September 11, changes in the visa process caused a dramatic decline in the number of foreign students seeking admission to US universities, and a corresponding surge in enrollments in Australia, Singapore and the UK. Objections from American university and business leaders led to improvements in the process and a reversal of the decline, but the United States is still seen by many as unwelcoming to international students.Most Americans recognize that universities contribute to the nation's well-being through their scientific research, but many fear that foreign students threaten American competitiveness by taking their knowledge and skills back home. They fail to grasp that welcoming foreign students to the United States has two important positive effects: first, the very best of them stay in the States and—like immigrants throughout history—strengthen the nation; and second, foreign students who study in the United States become ambassadors for many of its most cherished (珍视) values when they return home. Or at least they understand them better. In America as elsewhere, few instruments of foreign policy are as effective in promoting peace and stability as welcoming international university students.32. In the United States, how many of the newly hired professors in science and engineering are foreign-born?A. 10%.B. 20%.C. 30%.D. 38%.33. How do Yale and Harvard prepare their undergraduates for global careers?A. They organize a series of seminars on world economy.B. They offer them various courses in international politics.C. They arrange for them to participate in the Erasmus program.D. They give them chances for international study or internship.34. An example illustrating the general trend of universities' globalization is__________.A. Yale's collaboration with Fudan University on genetic researchB. Yale's helping Chinese universities to launch research projectsC. Yale's student exchange program with European institutionsD. Yale's establishing branch campuses throughout the world35. What do we learn about Silicon Valley from the passage?A. It houses many companies spun off from MIT and Harvard.B. It is known to be the birthplace of Microsoft Company.C. It was intentionally created by Stanford University.D. It is where the Internet infrastructure was built up.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。

AWalking down a path through some woods in Georgia, I saw a small pool of water ahead on the path. I changed my direction to go around it on the part of the path that wasn’t covered by water or mud. As I reached the pool, I was suddenly attacked! Yet I did nothing for the attack. It was so unpredictable and from somewhere totally unexpected. I was surprised as well as unhurt though I had been struck four or five times. I backed up a foot and my attacker stopped attacking me. Had I been hurt, I wouldn’t have found it amusing. And I was laughing. After all, I was being attacked by a butterfly!Having stopped, laughing, I took a step forward. My attacker rushed me again. He charged towards me at full speed, attempting to hurt me but in vain. For a second time, I took a step backwards while my attacker paused. I wasn’t sure what to do. After all, it’s just not eve ry day that one is attacked by a butterfly. I stepped back to look the situation over. My attacker moved back to land on the ground. That’s when I discovered why my attacker was charging at me only moments earlier. He had a mate and she was dying.Sitting close beside her, he opened and closed his wings as if to fan her. I could only admire the love and courage of that butterfly in his concern for his mate. He had taken it up on himself to attack me for his mate’s sake, even though she was clearly dying and I was so large. He did so just to give her those extra few precious moments of life. His courage in attacking something thousands of times larger and heavier than himself just for his mate’s safety seemed admirable. I couldn’t do anything other than reward him by walking on t he more difficult side of the pool. He had truly earned those moments to be with her, undisturbed.Since then, I’ve always t ried to remember the courage of that butterfly whenever I see huge barriers facing me.21. Why did the writer change his direction while walking down a path?A. To get close to a butterfly.B. To look the bad situation over.C. To escape a sudden attack.D. To avoid getting his shoes dirty.22. What did the man find funny?A. Making the attacker pause.B. Being attacked by a butterfly.C. Stepping on a butterfly.D. Discovering the energetic butterfly.23. Which of the following words can best describe the male butterfly?A. Careless.B. Amusing.C. Courageous.D. Aggressive.24. From this experience the man learned ________.A. what he should do when faced with troubleB. people should show sympathy to the weakC. how he should deal with attacksD. people should protect butterfliesBWhen young people begin to live independently, home-hunting can bring some stress. But they would do well to remember that a new alternative is available—micro-home.Called “tiny houses”, these houses have all living necessities in a small package, including kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. Generally under 50 square meters, most tiny houses accommodate just one or two people though some claim the space for more. What’s lost in size is not lost in design as these homes are often quite unique and modern in design.Besides an attractive appearance, tiny houses can also have unique practical features. Making the best of urban space, the 72- to 122-centimeter-wide Keret House in Warsaw, the world’s narrowest home, fills in an alley. The Ecocapsule home uses solar power, wind power and rainwater collection to enable its owner to live practically anywhere. A system of rails allows the DALE micro-home to adjust room size and number as well as adding the option of an open or enclosed courtyard.Visually appealing as micro-homes are, there are a few drawbacks to consider before getting cozy on a mini-couch. Moving into a tiny house requires the removing of most non-essentials, regardless of the emotional connection to them. Guests will also mostly be out of the question as the limited space may even cause a solitary (独居的) individual to experience some cabin fever (幽闭症). And finally, a micro-home is likely a temporary living option for most people since they will probably start families and acquire more possessions.Though the limitations will scare some, there is usually a benefit. A small size results in a small price tag and small bills, making tiny houses easier to save up for and budget. And though you won’t have much stuff around the house, this can provide the comfort of simple living and repairs. Micro-homes are also practically mobile and have eco-friendliness that can’t be matched by other homes. They probably aren’t for everyone or forever, but when it comes to your nex t (or first) home, they could be just what you need.25. What can be learnt about micro-homes from the second paragraph?A. People have to eat out as there is no cooking area.B. These homes are poorly designed due to the small size.C. All of the houses are under 50 square meters in size.D. Such houses aren’t necessarily inconvenient though tiny.26. The third paragraph is mainly developed ________.A. by giving examplesB. by making comparisonsC. by following the time orderD. by describing the process27. Micro-homes are especially fit for ________.A. a young couple in hope of settling down permanentlyB. an individual constantly suffering from cabin feverC. a college graduate on a tight budget for the time beingD. a family of five in favor of environmental protection28. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Is Your House Tiny Enough?B. Why Not Enlarge Your House?C. East Or West, Home Is the Best!D. Micro-homes—More Than Tiny!CWith more recognition than Halloween and less tha n Christmas, Valentine’s Day as an imported festival faces a dangerous situation in China, where it’s caught between forces of tradition and fashion. Valentine’s Day has a natural enemy in China. And it is not the Chinese equivalent, which falls on the seventh day of the seventh month on the lunar calendar, usually around half a year away from Feb. 14. It is the Spring Festival, also known as the Chinese New Year, that will influence the Feast of Saint Valentine.The real disagreement between East and West probably took place over a century ago, when China’s door was forced open by Western powers and Chinese scholars supported westernization as a means to strengthen our nation’s ability to compete. The introduction of the solar calendar and Western measurements was both an acknowledgment of their influence and an effort to be accepted by the world order.For a full century, we have had two systems running in parallel. When it comes to the eventual outcome, practicality usually beats all other concerns. Laws can help, such as the three traditional festivals of Tomb Sweeping, Dragon Boat and Mid-Autumn gaining legal status in 2008 and giving every Chinese citizen a day off, but laws cannot push what people have no feelings for. So, the celebration or boycott of imported holidays or homegrown ones should be no cause for worry. If they are irrelevant, no social media will change the public’s mind; and if they are accepted, there must be a need which they happen to satisfy.Since we have no global Qin Shihuang to force one system on every country, we can always rely on a dual (双重) approach by which we share with the outside world on one hand but preserve our own ways of life on the other.29. What does the author say about Valentine’s Day in China?A. It is better received than Christmas.B. It brings potential danger to people.C. It becomes increasingly popular.D. It happens to have a natural enemy.30. The underlined word “equivalent” in the first paragraph refers to ________.A. the Chinese V alentine’s DayB. the Spring FestivalC. fashionD. custom31. Which of the following can decide what to celebrate according to the author?A. Laws.B. Media.C. Needs.D. Tradition.32. The author believes that ________.A. the conflict between East and West causes more troubleB. two different systems of festivals can co-exist in ChinaC. westernization is a symbol of a nation’s competitive abilityD. homegrown festivals are more important than imported onesDMost foodies (吃货) agree that eating healthy food is important. But sometimes making good food choices can be tough. Now, there are apps that can help people learn about the food they eat to improve their diets and their dining out experience.Open TableOpen Table helps people choose restaurants when they want to go out to eat. Open Table users can also make restaurant reservations directly through the app or website. Open Table gives users points when they make reservations. The points can add up to discounts on restaurant visits.Cheese & Wine Pairing appWine and cheese can be a great combination. But which wines go best with which cheeses? Max McCalman’s cheese and wine app can help. It provides information about hundreds of different cheeses and suggests wines to p air with each.
