Thomas. hullar@mail.megill.caD. b.study@gmailBOn her first morning in America last summer, my daughter went out to eplore her new neighborhood alone, without even telling my wife or me. Of course we were worried; we had just moved from Berlin, and she was just 8. But when she came home, we realied we had no reason to panic. Beaming with pride, she told us how she had discovered the little par around the corner, and had made friends with a few local dog owners.When this story comes up in conversations with American friends, we usually meet with polite disbelief. Most are horrified by the idea that their children might roam(闲逛) around without adult supervision.A study by the University of California has found that American ids spend 90 per cent of their leisure time at home, often in front of the TV or playing video games. Such narrowing of children's world has happened across the developed world. But German parents are generally much more accepting of letting children tae some riss.“We are depriving(剥夺) them of opportunities to learn how to tae control of their own lives,” writ es Peter Gray, a research professor at Boston College. He argues that this increases the chance that they will suffer from aniety, depression, and various other mental disorders, which have gone up dramatically in recent decades.I am no psychologist lie Professor Gray, but I now I won't be around forever to protect my girls from the challenges life holds in store for them. And by giving ids more control over their lives, they learn to have more confidence in their own capabilities.4. Hearing the author's daughter eploring the new neighborhood alone, his American friends feel________.A. worriedB. proudC. doubtfulD. terrified5. We can conclude from Paragraph 3 that ________.A. American ids enjoy playing at homeB. German parents are less protective than American parentsC. German ids lie taing riss more than American idsD. American parents don't limit their children's activities in their leisure time6. It's implied from Professor Gray's words that ________.A. parents should always be around their children to protect them from rissB. more and more parents suffer from mental problemsC. children are having more opportunities to tae control of their livesD. giving children more freedom is beneficial to their mental development7. Which of the following words can best describe the author's parenting?A. Open-minded.B. Irresponsible.C. Careless.D. Protective.CFilm director James Cameron first became interested in sea eploration when he was a little boy. His love for the ocean grew after he made the 1989 undersea adventure film The Abyss and the 1997 blocbuster Titanic, one of the most successful movies of all time. Following that big success，James Cameron decided to put his film career on hold to become an eplorer.In 2012, James Cameron made a journey to the deepest spot in the Mariana Trench, nown as Challenger Deep. And now the great journey has been made into a documentary(记录片)film, named James Cameron's Deep-sea Challenger 3-D.In James Cameron's fantasy films，such as Avatar and The Abyss, the uneplored areas are decorated in colours and full of danger. But on his dive into Challenger Deep, the reality proved far different white, deserted and dull.“I felt lie I had gone to another planet,” Cameron said after returning from the cold and dar place in the Western Pacific Ocean, nearly 7 miles below the surface. “I really have a sense of being separated and realie how tiny I am down in this big, blac and uneplored place.”Cameron captured(获取)the moon-lie landscape of the deep sea and documented the sea creatures he observed in the ocean.James Cameron's Deep-sea Challenger 3-D tells the story of Cameron's journey. It is a film about determination, danger and the ocean's greatest depths. The movie shows a unique insight into Cameron's world when he maes his dream a reality and maes history by becoming the first person to travel alone to thedeepest point on the planet.It's an eciting film and inspiring reminder that our beautiful planet still has a lot to eplore.8. When did James Cameron become interested in the ocean?A. When he was in his childhood.B. After his films The Abyss and Titanic.C. After he achieved great success in movies.D. When he began to eplore the deep sea alone.9. What is the uneplored ocean lie?A. Colourful and dangerous.B. Boring and deserted.C. White and attractive.D. Small and dull.10. What can we now about James Cameron's Deep-sea Challenger 3-D?A. It is a film about the eploration of ocean creatures.B. It is a story about Cameron's film-maing dream.C. It aims to attract more people to eplore the deep sea.D. It tells us about James' journey into Challenger Deep.11. What is the best title for this passage?A. The Great Dream of a Film DirectorB. A film Director Eploring Deep SeaC. James Cameron and His Documentary FilmD. The First Person to Mae Films About the Deep SeaDThe stories we share with one another are important. They show wisdom and provide inspiration. They are important to our development. But sometimes people choose not to tell.Consider the negative effects of not sharing a story in the news People are wondering if public health officials are holding bac too much information about the recent outbrea of Ebola.There is a danger in holding bac stories that ought to be told. Bobette Buster said it was lie this, “The fact is, history has shown us that stories not told can become lie a dangerous genie (妖怪) left in a bottle. When they are finally uncored, their power to destroy is set free.”There are a number of reasons why we hide parts of our story they often show our weanesses or epose our disadvantages; they require courage and strength to share; and of course, there are some stories that should be ept secret—especially those that embarrass someone else.Most of us have two selves the one we display on the outside and the one we actually are on the inside. And the better we get at hiding the stories that show our true selves, the more damage we may be causing to ourselves and to others.Honesty and openness is important. It proves we are trustworthy. It displays we are human. We are notperfect or better. It highlights the importance of hard wor and personal development. Hard wor may not allow us to overcome our disadvantages completely. But with hard wor, we do not have to be restricted to our mistaes.Does this mean we admit every weaness, every disadvantage, and every secret regret to everybody we meet? No, of course not. There is a time and a place and a certain level of relationship necessary for some stories to be told in an appropriate manner.12. What’s the function of the eample in Paragraph 2?A. It reflects that people are concerned about the spread of Ebola.B. It shows the bad effect caused by sharing a story.C. It proves not sharing a story can cause trouble.D. It concludes that one should share a story at a proper time.13. One of the reasons why people are unwilling to share eperiences is that _______.A. story-sharing highlights the importance of hard worB. people are used to eposing their weanessesC. people sometimes have no courage to share their storiesD. some stories mae people feel sad14. Which is close in meaning to the underlined word “uncored” in Paragraph 3?A. freedB. broenC. unfoldedD. untouched15. The writer aims to convince us to _______.A. be open to people close to you by sharing some secretsB. share stories appropriately for the good of others and ourselvesC. remove the dangers that can be caused by untold storiesD. realie the importance of being honest when maing friends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（选项中有两项为多余选项），并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

ASunday, October 5 Clear, 69°FMy wife, Eleanor, and I took the train from Paris to Strasbourg, where we were met by our driver and guide, and the minibus which goes along with the boat. We stopped off in Barn for an hour on the way. Then we were taken to Nancy where the boat was kept.After the other passengers arrived, we had our first dinner on the boat. After dinner we walked into downtown Nancy, a village with a large square and wooden houses. Monday, October 6 Rained las t night, cloudy in the morning, 69°F We spent about two hours in Nancy, then sailed on the Canal de la Marne au Rhine. Kind of a lazy day. Eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner. After dinner we watched a tape on Baccarat, which we will visit tomorrow.It was pleasant to sit out on deck and watch the scenery go by at about 3 mph. Tuesday, October 7 Light rain, 64°FThis morning we drove over to Baccarat and toured its museum and the church, which has this unbelievable lamp that is going on a world tour the next day. We did lots of shopping, then walked across the bridge to see a very, very modern Catholic church with special Baccarat windows.We drove to the top of the Voges Mountains and started down the eastern side. Later, we drove to Sorrenbourg to see the 13th century church at the Cordeliers. It contains1the largest window by Mar.Wednesday, October 8 Cloudy, 65 °FToday we sailed from Schneckenbush to Saverne. We went through two caves, an extremely unusual part of the journey. This river scenery is very different. We were in a mountain valley with grassland on one side and a forest beginning to show some color on the other.Thursday, October 9 Cloudy, 66°FOur dependable minibus was waiting to load the luggage and take us to the hotel where everyone went their separate ways. Our boating days are over until next time.1.Where did the author get off the train?A. ParisB. StrasbourgC. NancyD. Barn2.On which days did the tourists spend most of their time on the boat?A. Monday and Tuesday.B. Tuesday and Wednesday.C. Wednesday and Thursday.D. Monday and Wednesday.3.From the text, we learn that Baccarat and Sorrenbourg are the names o f_________.A. townsB. churchesC. museum sD. mountainsBIt’s just a small, white envelope stuck among the branches of our Christmas tree. No name, no address. It has peeked through the branches of our tree for the past 10 years.It all began because my husband Mike hated Christmas. He didn’t hate the true meaning of Christmas, but the commercial aspects of it: overspending, running around at the last minute to get a tie for Uncle Harry and powder for Grandma…Knowing he felt this way, I decided one year to bypass the usual shirts, sweaters, ties and so forth. I reached for something special for Mike. The inspiration came in an unusual way.Our son Kevin, at 12 that year, was wrestling at the junior level at the school he attended and before Christmas, there was a non-league match against a team sponsored2by an inner-city church, mostly black.As the match began, I was alarmed to see that the other team was wrestling without headgear to protect a wrestler’s ears. They obviously could not afford.Mike shook his head sadly, “I wish just one of them could have won,” he said. “They have a lot of potential, but losing like this could take the heart right out of them.”Mike loved kids—all kids—and he knew them, having coached little league football, baseball and lacrosse. That’s when the idea for his present came.That afternoon, I went to a local sporting goods store and bought an assortment of wrestling headgear and shoes and sent them anonymously to the inner-city church.On Christmas Eve, I placed the envelope on the tree, the note inside telling Mike what I had done and that this was his gift from me. His smile was the brightest thing about Christmas that year. For each Christmas, I followed the tradition.The envelope became the highlight of our Christmas. It was always the last thing opened on Christmas morning and our children, ignoring their new toys, would stand with wide-eyed anticipation as their dad lifted the envelope from the tree to reveal its contents.The tradition has grown and someday will expand even further with our grandchildren standing around the tree with wide-eyed anticipation watching as their fathers take down the envelope. Mike’s spirit, like the Christmas spirit, will always be with us.4. What does the underlined word “bypass” mean?A. give upB. buyC. throw awayD. change5. Why did Mike hate Christmas according to the passage?A．He didn’t like the true meaning of Christmas.B．He didn’t like people spending too much money on presents.C．He hated buying presents for Uncle Harry and Grandma.D．He didn’t want to receive gifts like shirts, sweaters or ties.6. What was Mike’s r eaction to the non-league match?A. Mike hoped that his son would win the match.B. Mike thought that the church should have given the black boys more money.C. Mike thought the black boys were too proud.D. Mike felt sympathy for the team of black boys.37.The writer’s purpose of writing the passage is to _______.A．show the importance of coachingB．illustrate how a difficult life the black boys ledC．tell a story of a special Christmas presentD．show her pride in her boy’s good performanceCScientists say that playing with the opportunity to be creative is one of the basic needs for children’s development, and the desire to play is anchored in children’s personality.How do children play? Do kids today play differently from the ways I used to play?When I was a child, I didn’t have many toys. A dollhouse t hat I once got for Christmas was the greatest gift I could imagine. My siblings(兄弟姐妹), my friends and I played “Mom and Dad” with the dollhouse and our dolls again and again, never getting tired of it. The first Lego blocks came up replacing the traditional wooden building blocks. The lack of ready-to-use-toys inspired us to create our own using many kinds of material like paper to fold into ships or hats, or wood to carve toys.If I compare the ways I used to play with the ways my children play now, there are many differences. Their rooms are filled with toys, and nevertheless they sometimes have no idea what to play. Having too many choices makes them feel overwhelmed, unable to take advantage of each single one.Also, the toys themselves have changed dramatically. I see many plastic toys ready to use; there is no need for children to create their own ideas and invent their own toys. Electronic toys are on the rise, displacing classical toys. Children don’t need to be creative; playing does not involve much imagination. Now they expect some kind of simulation and entertainment. Electronic toys require more passive reactions and logical thinking. Playing outdoors has become less interesting as this would keep them away from their video games and play stations.8. According to the writer, what he played in his boyhood was________.4A. boringB. simpleC. easyD. creative9. The underlined sentence in the first paragraph probably means “_________”.A. the desire to play has bad effects on a child’s personalityB. the desire to play is the nature of all childrenC. the desire to play limits the development of a childD. the desire to play becomes stronger as a child grows10. Which of the following is NOT true about the author’s childhood?A. They had few toys to play with.B. They made some toys by themselves.C. It was a hard time for them for lack of toys.D. They often played the “Mom and Dad” game.11. Which of the following may the author agree with?A. Modern toys ought to be abandoned.B. Toys should encourage creativity.C. Today’s children conside r playing outdoors more interesting.D. Modern toys are more advanced than old ones.DA cancer-stricken British teenage girl said Thursday she had been moved by messages of support from around the world after writing an online “Bucket List” of things sh e wanted to do before dying.Alice Pyne, l5, created an Internet blog in which she described her fight against a cancer of the white blood cells. “I’ve been fighting cancer for almost four years and now I know that the cancer is gaining on me and it doesn’t look like I’m go ing to win this one,” she wrote.For her list, the teenager took inspiration from the 2007 film “The Bucket List” in which two men who are badly ill, draw up a list of things they wish to do before they die.On her list, at the site , she has included making everyone sign up to be a bone marrow donor (骨髓捐赠者), swimming with sharks, meeting boy band Take That and getting a purple iPad computer.Messages of support and offers of help quickly flooded her webpage and it became5one of the most talked about subjects on Twitter.“Oh, dear, and I thought that I was just doing a little blog for a few friends!” she wrote after her site attracted huge attention. “Thank you so much for all your lovely messages to me.”Pyne, who lives with her family in the northwest English town of Ulverston, revealed the management of Take That had arranged for her to see the band after reading her blog.A group of local lawmakers have also joined forces with the Anthony blood cancer charity to encourage people to join its stem cell register.12.What happened after Alice Pyne wrote her “Bucket List”?A.People around the world sent messages to support her.B.People sent gifts to her from all over the world.C.A lot of people offered to donate bone marrow to her.D.The media called on people to help her.13.Alice Pyne wrote her “Bucket List” to .A.catch people’s attentionB.say goodbye to a few friendsC.give comfort to two terminally ill menD.express her last few wishes14.It can be inferred from the second paragraph that Alice Pyne .A.is unaware of her own conditionsB.is very sad to know that she will dieC.is calm to know that death is approachingD.is still quite confident in fighting against cancer15.Which of the following is NOT on Alice Pyne’s “Bucket List”?A.To ask people to donate bone marrow.B.To get a cool computer.C.To swim with sharks.D.To meet a boy.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）6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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AFor families on vacation, a playground provides a welcome break. It can also provide a glimpse into the local culture，from the setup of the park to the ways families interact．Here are the designs that live up to that challenge．Fruit and Scent Playground, StockholmIs there a picky eater on a steady diet of chicken fingers and cheese? Perhaps a trip to Sweden’s Fruit and Scent Playground will change his or her culinary(烹饪的)tune. This playground features a banana slide，an orange seesaw，pear huts，a watermelon jungle gym and a pair of cherry swings，all designed by public artist Johan Ferner Strom. Now, who can say you can’t play with your food?Nishi Rokugo Park, TokyoLocated between central Tokyo and the city of Kawasaki, Nishi Rokugo combines recycled rubber tires(橡胶轮胎)with traditional playground equipment. In total, more than 3,000 tires of different sizes are used to create tunnels, bridges, tall sculptures for climbing and, of course, tire swings. There’s little shade, so you can visit here in the early morning or late afternoon for the most comfortable weather, and be sure to wear your play clothes.Bicentennial Children’s Park, Santiago, ChileBicentennial Children’s playground in Metropolitan Park was built to celebrate 200 years of Chilean independence and improve the lives of Santiago citizens. Dozens of slides are built into the slope, creating a design completely complementary(互为补充的)of the surrounding landscape. Fountains offer some relief from the sun, and ample seating gives parents a place to relax.21. What can be learned about Fruit and Scent Playground?A. It is located in Tokyo, Japan.B. Its design was led by some artists.C. It is aimed at balancing people’s diet.D. Its facilities are modeled after fruits.22. When visiting Nishi Rokugo Park, it is better to________.A. wear thick protective clothesB. avoid moments when it’s hotC. take umbrellas and raincoatsD. watch out for the equipment23. Why does the author reco mmend Bicentennial Children’s Park?A. It becomes part of the surroundings．B. It was built to improve people’s lives．C. It amuses kids and helps parents get relaxed．D. It provides slides for both children and adults．BIn agrarian(农业的), pre-industrial Europe,“you’d want to wake up early, start working with the sunrise, have a break to have the largest meal, and then you’d go back to work,”says Ken Albala, a professor of history at the University of the Pacific.“Later, at 5 or 6, you’d have a smaller supper.”This comfortable c ycle, in which the rhythms of the day helped shape the rhythms of the meals, gave rise to the custom of the large midday meal, eaten with the extended family.“Meals are the foundation of the family,”says Carole Couniban, a professor at Millersville University in Pennsylvania, “so there was a very important interconnection between eating together and strengthening family ties.”Since industrialization, maintaining such a slow cultural metabolism has been much harder, with the long midday meal shrinking to whatever could be stuffed into a lunch bucket or bought at a food stand. Certainly, there were benefits. Modern techniques for producing and shipping food led to great er variety and quantity, including a tremendous increase in the amount of animal protein and dairy products available, making us more energetic than our ancestors.Yet plenty has been lost too, even in cultures that still live to eat. Take Italy. It’s no secret that the Mediterranean diet is healthy, but it was also a joy to prepare and eat. Italians, says Counihan, traditionally began the day with a small meal. The big meal came at around 1 p.m. In between the midday meal and a late, smaller dinner came a small snack. Today, when time zones have less and less meaning, there is little tolerance for offices’ closing for lunch, and worsening traffic in cities means workers can’t make it home and back fast enough anyway. So the formerly small supper after sundown becomes the big meal of the day, the only one at which the family has a chance to get together.“The evening meal carries the full burden that used to be spread over two meals,”says Counihan.24. What does Professor Carole Counihan say about pre-industrial European families eating mealstogether？A. It was helpful to maintaining a nation’s tradition.B. It brought family members closer to each other.C. It was characteristic of the agrarian culture.D. It enabled families to save a lot of money.25. What does“cultural metabolism”（Line 1, Para. 3) refer to？A. Evolutionary adaptation.B. Changes in lifestyle.C. Social progress.D. Pace of life.26. What does the author think of the food people eat today？A. Its quality is usually guaranteed.B. It is varied, abundant and nutritious.C. It is more costly than what our ancestors ate.D. Its production depends too much on technology.27. What does the author say about Italians of the old days?A. They enjoyed cooking as well as eating.B. They ate a big dinner late in the evening.C. They ate three meals regularly every day.D. They were expert at cooking meals.CYou can tell a lot about people by looking at their hair – not just whether they brush, spray or blow-dry. Scientists have found a way to use hair to figure out where a person is from and where that person has been. The finding could help solve crimes, among other useful applications.Water is central to the new technique. The liquid makes up more than half an adult human’s body weight. Our bodies break water down into hydrogen(氢) and oxygen. Atoms of these two elements end up in our tissues, fingernails, and hair.But not all water is the same. Hydrogen and oxygen atoms can vary in how much they weigh. In the case of hydrogen, for example, there are three types according to their weights. Each type is called a hydrogen isotope（同位素）. And depending on where you live, tap water contains different isotopes.Can hair record this information? That’s what James R. Ehleringer, an environmental chemist at the University of Utah, wondered. To find it out, he and his colleagues collected hair from hair stylists in 65 cities across the United States. Even though people drink a lot of bottled water these days, the researchers have found that people’s hair has the same isotopes as found in local tap water. Tha t’s probably because people usually cook their food with the local water.Authorities can now use the information to analyze hair samples from criminals or crime victims and narrow their search for clues. For example, one hair sample used in Ehleringer’s study came from a man who had moved from San Francisco to Salt Lake City. As his hair grew, it reflected his change in location.28. What do we know about the hydrogen isotopes according to Paragraph 3?A. They are classified by size.B. Each type of them differs in weight.C. They can improve the quality of tap water.D. Some of them cannot combine with oxygen.29. Why is it possible to know where people are from by analyzing their hair?A. People use the same bottled water.B. People wash their hair in different ways.C. People’s hair is affected by the weather of the places they stay.D. People’ hair indicates the type of water in the places they stay.30. The last paragraph is mainly to show _______.A. how to recognize criminalsB. how to collect hair samplesC. the usefulness of hair analysisD. the process of Ehleringer’s study31. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. Water compositionB. Change your hairC. Hair detectivesD. No way outDThe term ―to extend an olive（橄榄）branch‖ means to make an offer of peace or reconciliation(和好). This term has Biblical（圣经的）origins, coming from the section of the Old Testament that deals with the flood; the sign that the flood is over is an olive branch brought back to the ark(方舟) by a dove. Olive branches were also symbols of peace in Ancient Greece and Rome, and they continue to be used in various works of art that are meant to suggest peace.Some people have suggested that the olive was a very deliberate and well-considered choice as a metaphor(比喻）for peace, because olive trees famously take years to mature. War is typically very hard on the trees because people cannot take the time to nurture them and plant new ones. Therefore, the offer of an olive branch would suggest that someone is tired of war, whether it is an actual war or a falling out between friends.In Ancient Greek and Roman times, people would offer actual olive branches. In Rome, for example, defeated armies traditionally carried olive branches to indicate that they were giving in, and the Greeksused them into weddings and other ceremonies. In the modern era, the branch is usually metaphorical, rather than actual, not least because the plants can be a bit difficult to obtain.Many people agree that peace negotiations at all levels of society are a good idea. Between nations, obviously, it is important to extend an olive branch to ensure mutual safety and to help the world run more smoothly. This act can also be important on a personal leve l, as resolving conflict and learning to get along with others is viewed as an important life skill in many cultures.At some point in their lives, many people will be advised to extend an olive branch to settle a dispute or resolve an issue. Some people believe that it takes an immense amount of courage to take this action, as it often comes with an admission of wrongdoing and regret.32. According to the Bible, _________.A. an olive branch suggests flood is comingB. the ark is made of olive tree woodC. an olive branch means flood is overD. a dove loves to settle on the olive branch33.

Many of us think, wrongly, that the moon doesn’t change. For example, the Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Ruoxu once wrote that “Generations have come and passed away; From year to year the moons look alike, old and new.”However, a new study published in the journal Nature Geoscience shows that the moon is in fact slowly shrinking over time. For the study, a group of US scientists examined and analyzed thousands of photographs taken by the NASA orbiter Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera. They found that there were lots of faults (断层) on the surface of the moon. These faults were formed by recent movement on the moon.According to NASA, the moon is made up of pieces of rocks with a hot core. The moon continued to expand as it was born. But in this process, it released energy and cooled down. Then it began to shrink, in a way comparable to the shrinking of a grape into a raisin (葡萄干) . Over the past several hundred million years, it has become 46 meters “skinnier”. But due to its hard and rocky crust (外壳), the moon’s surface continues to push up. “Some of these quakes can be fairly strong around five on the Richter scale,” said Thomas Watters, a senior scientist at the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum in the US.But does that mean the moon is a dangerous place that human shouldn’t try to explore and live on in the future? Maybe not, reported the Telegraph, “This isn’t anything to worry about. The moon may be shrinking, but not by much. It’s not going anywhere,”Watters comforted us.The new discovery proves that the idea that the moon is a dead, boring place is wrong. “We have been to the moon and we’ve done some great science, but there is still a lot we don’t know. The moon is shrinking —we didn’t really realize that until recently. It’s a much more active and interesting place than we thought and we should explore that,” NASA scientist Nathan Williams said.1. Why does the writer quote the poem?A. To praise the beauty of the moon.B. To show people’s long-standing idea of the moon size.C. To arouse people’s interest in the topic.D. To get readers familiar with the poem.2. Which point of view about the moon may the writer agree to?A. It is becoming slightly smaller.B. It stays the same as before.C. It is getting older and older.D. It may disappear one day.3. What can we learn about the moon from the third paragraph?A. It has become 46 meters fatter due to expanding.B. It has changed from a grape into a raisin in recent years.C. It quakes even at seven on the Richter scale.D. It has a hot core and releases energy when expanding.4. Who thinks that we needn’t wor ry about the moon?A. Zhang Ruoxu.B. Thomas Watters.C. Nathan Williams.D. The journalist. 5. What does Nathan Williams think of the moon? A. It is a dead and boring place. B. It has lots of faults on the surface.C. It is worth exploring moreD. It isn’t a place where we can live. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. D 4. B 5. C这是一篇说明文。

This term has Biblical(圣经的) origins, coming from the section of the Old Testament that deals with the flood; the sign that the flood is over is an olive branch brought back to the ark(方舟) by a dove. Olive branches were also symbols of peace in Ancient Greece and Rome, and they continue to be used in various works of art that are meant to suggest peace.Some people have suggested that the olive was a very deliberate and well-considered choice as a metaphor(比喻) for peace, because olive trees famously take years to mature. War is typically very hard on the trees because people cannot take the time to nurture them and plant new ones. Therefore, the offer of an olive branch would suggest that someone is tired of war, whether it is an actual war or a falling out between friends.In Ancient Greek and Roman times, people would offer actual olive branches.

A ．an olive branch suggests flood is coming B ．the ark is made of olive tree wood C ．an olive branch means flood is over D ．a dove loves to settle on the olive branch2、The olive is considered a good choice as a metaphor for peace for the following reasons EXCEPT _______.A ．olive trees famously take years to matureB ．olive branches make people tired of warC ．war is typically very hard on the treesD ．people cannot take the time to nurture them while at war 3、Why are actual olive branches seldom used in modern times?A ．Olive trees are being protected now.B ．Olive trees are planted only in certain countries.C ．Olive trees can be far to seek.D ．There is no need to use real olive branches.4、It can be learned from the text that to extend an olive branch________. A ．is not important on a personal level B ．is only important between nations C ．takes a lot of courageD ．is an important life skill in many culturesYou can tell a lot about people by looking at their hair — not just whether they brush, spray or blow-dry. Scientists have found a way to use hair to figure out where a person is from and where that person has been. The finding could help solve crimes, among other useful applications.Water is central to the new technique. The liquid makes up more than half an adult human‟s body weight. Our bodies break water down into hydrogen(氢) and oxygen. Atoms of these two elements end up in our tissues, fingernails, and hair.But not all water is the same. Hydrogen and oxygen atoms can vary in how much they weigh. In the case of hydrogen, for example, there are three types according to their weights. Each type is called a hydrogen isotope(同位素). And depending on where you live, tap water contains different isotopes.Can hair record this information? That‟s what James R. Ehleringer, an environmental chemist at the University of Utah, wondered. To find it out, he and his colleagues collected hair from hair stylists in 65 cities across the United States. Even though people drink a lot of bottled water these days, the researchers have found that people‟s hair has the same isotopes as found in local tap water. That‟s probably because people usually cook their food with the local water. Authorities can now use the information to analyze hair samples from criminals or crime victims and narrow their search for clues. For example, one hair sample used in Ehleringer‟s study came from a man who had moved from San Francisco to Salt Lake City. As his hair grew, it reflected his change in location.5、What do we know about the hydrogen isotopes according to Paragraph 3?A．They are classified by size.B．Each type of them differs in weight.C．They can improve the quality of tap water.D．Some of them cannot combine with oxygen.6、Why is it possible to know where people are from by analyzing their hair?A．People use the same bottled water.B．People wash their hair in different ways.C．People‟s hair is affected by the weather of the places they stay.D．People‟s hair indicates the type of water in the places they stay.7、The last paragraph is mainly to show _______.A．how to recognize criminals B．how to collect hair samplesC．the usefulness of hair analysis D．the process of Ehleringer‟s study8、Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A．Water composition B．Change your hairC．Hair detectives D．No way out试卷第4页，共10页In agrarian(农业的), pre-industrial Europe, “you‟d want to wake up early, start working with the sunrise, have a break to have the largest meal, and then you‟d go back to work,” says Ken Albala, a professor of history at the University of the Pacific. “Later, at 5 or 6, you‟d have a smaller supper.”This comfortable cycle, in which the rhythms of the day helped shape the rhythms of the meals, gave rise to the custom of the large midday meal, eaten with the extended family. “Meals are the foundation of the family,” says Carole Couniban, a professor a t Millersville University in Pennsylvania, “so there was a very important interconnection between eating together and strengthening family ties.”Since industrialization, maintaining such a slow cultural metabolism has been much harder, with the long midday meal shrinking to whatever could be stuffed into a lunch bucket or bought at a food stand. Certainly, there were benefits. Modern techniques for producing and shipping food led to greater variety and quantity, including a tremendous increase in the amount of animal protein and dairy products available, making us more energetic than our ancestors. Yet plenty has been lost too, even in cultures that still live to eat. Take Italy. It‟s no secret that the Mediterranean diet is healthy, but it was also a joy to prepare and eat. Italians, says Counihan, traditionally began the day with a small meal. The big meal came at around 1 p.m. In between the midday meal and a late, smaller dinner came a small snack. Today, when time zones have less and less meaning, there is little tolerance for offices‟ closing for lunch, and worsening traffic in cities means workers can‟t make it home and back fast enough anyway. So the formerly small supper after sundown becomes the big meal of the day, the only one at which the family has a chance to get together. “The evening meal carries the full burden that used to be spread over two meals,” saysCounihan.9、What does Professor Carole Counihan say about pre-industrial European families eating meals together ？A ．It was helpful to mainta ining a nation‟s tradition.B ．It brought family members closer to each other.C ．It was characteristic of the agrarian culture.D ．It enabled families to save a lot of money.10、What does “cultural metabolism”（Line 1, Para. 3) refer to ？ A ．Evolutionary adaptation.B ．Changes in lifestyle.C．Social progress.D．Pace of life.11、What does the author think of the food people eat today?A．Its quality is usually guaranteed.B．It is varied, abundant and nutritious.C．It is more costly than what our ancestors ate.D．Its production depends too much on technology.12、What does the author say about Italians of the old days?A．They enjoyed cooking as well as eating.B．They ate a big dinner late in the evening.C．They ate three meals regularly every day.D．They were expert at cooking meals.For families on vacation, a playground provides a welcome break. It can also provide a glimpse into the local culture, from the setup of the park to the ways families interact. Here are the designs that live up to that challenge.Fruit and Scent Playground, StockholmIs there a picky eater on a steady diet of chicken fingers and cheese? Perhaps a trip to Sweden‟s Fruit and Scent Playground will change his or her culinary(烹饪的) tune. This playground features a banana slide, an orange seesaw, pear huts, a watermelon jungle gym and a pair of cherry swings, all designed by public artist Johan Ferner Strom. Now, who can say you can‟t play with your food?Nishi Rokugo Park, TokyoLocated between central Tokyo and the city of Kawasaki, Nishi Rokugo combines recycled rubber tires(橡胶轮胎) with traditional playground equipment. In total, more than 3,000 tires of different sizes are used to create tunnels, bridges, tall sculptures for climbing and, of course, tire swings. There‟s little shade, so you can visit here in the early morning or late afternoon for the most comfortable weather, and be sure to wear your play clothes.Bicentennial Children‟s Park, Santiago, ChileBicentennial Children‟s playground in Metropolitan Park was built to celebrate 200 years of Chilean independence and improve the lives of Santiago citizens. Dozens of slides are built into the slope, creating a design completely complementary(互为补充的) of the surroundinglandscape. Fountains offer some relief from the sun, and ample seating gives parents a place to试卷第6页，共10页relax.13、What can be learned about Fruit and Scent Playground? A ．It is located in Tokyo, Japan. B ．Its design was led by some artists. C ．It is aimed at balancing people‟s diet. D ．Its facilities are modeled after fruits.14、When visiting Nishi Rokugo Park, it is better to ________. A ．wear thick protective clothes B ．avoid moments when it‟s hot C ．take umbrellas and raincoats D ．watch out for the equipment15、Why does the author recommend Bicentennial Children‟s P ark? A ．It becomes part of the surroundings. B ．It was built to improve people‟s lives. C ．It amuses kids and helps parents get relaxed. D ．It provides slides for both children and adults.二、完形填空（题型注释）I had been staring at the white walls of the video game store for about 2 hours since lunch. It was a very_________day.

Thomas. khullar@mail.megill.caD. b.study@BOn her first morning in America last summer, my daughter went out to explore her new neighborhood alone, without even telling my wife or me. Of course we were worried; we had just moved from Berlin, and she was just 8. But when she came home, we realized we had no reason to panic. Beaming with pride, she told us how she had discovered the little park around the corner, and had made friends with a few local dog owners.When this story comes up in conversations with American friends, we usually meet with polite disbelief. Most are horrified by the idea that their children might roam(闲逛) around without adult supervision.A study by the University of California has found that American kids spend 90 per cent of their leisure time at home, often in front of the TV or playing video games. Such narrowing of children's world has happened across the developed world. But German parents are generally much more accepting of letting children take some risks.“We are depriving(剥夺) them of opportunities to learn how to take control of their own lives,” writes Peter Gray, a research professor at Boston College. He argues that this increases the chance that they will suffer from anxiety, depression, and various other mental disorders, which have gone up dramatically in recent decades.I am no psychologist like Professor Gray, but I know I won't be around forever to protect my girls from the challenges life holds in store for them. And by giving kids more control over their lives,they learn to have more confidence in their own capabilities.4. Hearing the author's daughter exploring the new neighborhood alone, his American friends feel________.A. worriedB. proudC. doubtfulD. terrified5. We can conclude from Paragraph 3 that ________.A. American kids enjoy playing at homeB. German parents are less protective than American parentsC. German kids like taking risks more than American kidsD. American parents don't limit their children's activities in their leisure time6.

His love for the ocean grew after he made the 1989 undersea adventure film The Abyss and the 1997 blockbuster Titanic, one of the most successful movies of all time. Following that big success，James Cameron decided to put his film career on hold to become an explorer.In 2012, James Cameron made a journey to the deepest spot in the Mariana Trench, known as Challenger Deep.

It is a film about determination, danger and the ocean's greatest depths.

They show wisdom and provide inspiration. They are important to our development. But sometimes people choose not to tell.Consider the negative effects of not sharing a story in the news: People are wondering if public health officials are holding back too much information about the recent outbreak of Ebola.There is a danger in holding back stories that ought to be told. Bobette Buster said it was like this, “The fact is, history has shown us that stories not told can become like a dangerous genie (妖怪) left in a bottle. When they are finally uncorked, their power to destroy is set free.”There are a number of reasons why we hide parts of our story: they often show our weaknesses or expose our disadvantages; they require courage and strength to share; and of course, there are some stories that should be kept secret—especially those that embarrass someone else.Most of us have two selves: the one we display on the outside and the one we actually are on the inside. And the better we get at hiding the stories that show our true selves, the more damage we may be causing to ourselves and to others.Honesty and openness is important. It proves we are trustworthy. It displays we are human. We are not perfect or better. It highlights the importance of hard work and personal development. Hard work may not allow us to overcome our disadvantages completely. But with hard work, we do not have to be restricted to our mistakes.Does this mean we admit every weakness, every disadvantage, and every secret regret to everybody we meet? No, of course not. There is a time and a place and a certain level ofrelationship necessary for some stories to be told in an appropriate manner.12. What’s the function of the example in Paragraph 2?A.
