AThe British summer is extremely beautiful．Trees，flowers，birds and butterflies make the whole country like a big garden．However，many British people have noticed that butterflies have been gradually disappearing from this picturesque scenery during the past several years．What has happened to them?Butterfly Conservation，a charity in the UK，is running a survey to help answer this question．The result is more serious than people expected．According to the survey，among 59 butterfly species found in the British Isles，more than three-quarters of them are suffering a declining population，including the most popular Meadow Brown．Moreover，half of all butterfly species are on the verge of extinction．Some common species such as the small Tortoiseshell butterfly and the Wall butterfly are dropping dramatically．The latter cannot even be seen in many parts of central and southern England．The Blue butterfly，which was commonly seen in the south，has started colonizing Edinburgh in the past few years．The numbers of butterflies have dropped to a record low in the past three years largely because the summer in the UK is getting cooler and their habitat is also degrading．Fortunately Britain is experiencing a long hot summer this year compared to the last few summers．Conservationists believe the warm weather will bring some benefit to the butterflies．Sir David Attenborough，president of Butterfly Conservation，said：“Butterflies in quantity tell us that all is well with nature．When they decline it's a warning that other wildlife will be soon heading the same way．”The survey is still going on．The public is also encouraged to keep track of the UK’s butterfly population．The organisers hope the survey will help raise public awareness of the value of butterflies in the UK．Butterflies give an indication of the well-being of nature and the environment．21．Why was the survey carried out?A．To find out the reason for the butterflies decline．B．To raise the public awareness of wildlife protection．C．To make sure the number of the existing butterflies．D．To improve the living condition of the butterflies．22．What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?A．Butterflies in the UK will die out soon．B．Other wildlife has faced the same trouble as butterflies．C．Butterflies can indicate the harmony of nature．D．The environment in the UK is heavily polluted．23．What can be the best title of the text?A．The survey of butterfly speciesB．UK butterflies declineC．Butterflies and natureD．The influence of butterflies declineBWhen 6-year-old Jack Foley crossed the finish line last month at the Long BeachKids Triathlon，it was more than an athletic achievement．His completion marked a remarkable recovery from a rare heart condition．The journey began before Jack was born．At a routine 20-week examination，doctors told parents-to-be Rob Foley and Lauren Kiefer-Foley of Long Island，New York，that the fetus’(胎儿的)heart wasn’t properly developing．“The doctor told us，‘we can’t see the left side of the baby’s heart，’”Kiefer-Foley recalled．“He told us，‘you need to get to a cardiologist(心脏病专家)first thing in the morning．’”Further tests would confirm a diagnosis of hypoplastic left heart syndrome，a rare birth fault affecting the heart’s ability to pump blood through the body．Doctors informed the couple about the risks and challenges their child could face．“We were advised by many doctors to terminate our pregnancy because the condition is so severe．They told us that most babies don’t even survive birth，let alone the first surgery，”Kiefer-Foley said．Nonetheless，the couple decided to give their baby a chance．After Jack was born at full-term via a scheduled C—section(剖腹产)，doctors took him straight to a care unit to administer the level of care he would need before his first open—heart surgery days later．“When the doctor said‘it’s a boy!’I didn’t get to see him for hours after that．”Kiefer—Foley said．They would also have to wait until after Jack’s first surgery to hold him for the first time．With a successful delivery behind them，it was now up to Dr．Emile Bacha，chief of Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital to guide Jack through a series of surgeries to repair the newborn’s heart．24．Why did the author say“it was more than an athletic achievement”in Paragraph 1? A．Jack was only six years old．B．The event was too difficult．C．Jack once suffered from severe heart disease．D．Jack didn’t recover from severe heart disease．25．What was the bad effect of Jack’s disease?A．It led to inadequate blood supply．B．The beat of heart was not heard．C．The right side of the baby’s heart can’t be seen．D．His intelligence will not develop properly．26．What does the underlined word“terminate”in Paragraph 4 refer to?A．continue B．stop C．change D．adjust27．What will most probably be talked about in the next part of the text? A．Jack’s journey a11 over the world．B．The sorrow and despair of Jack’s parents．C．Jack’s major academic achievement．D．Jack’s remarkable recovery from heart disease．CSome experts believe that our attention spans are actually shrinking．We often joke that goldfish have the shortest level of concentration，so much so that they forget what they saw nine seconds earlier．Well now a study says that humans have an even shorter span—just eight seconds．This I can believe—there’s always so much to do and so much to remember that my brain gets overloaded and I find it hard to zero in on one thing．Of course，smartphones，the internet and social media all take up a lot of ourattention．Chicago-based research firm Dscout found that we look at our mobile phones for，on average，2．42 hours every day．It is tempting to keep glancing at our phones when we should be focusing on other things and it’s something we didn’t and couldn’t do before the boom in digital media and smartphones，so maybe that’s why the amount of time we can concentrate has been dropping．A report carried out for Microsoft said the average human attention span in 2000 was 1 2 seconds but has now fallen to just eight seconds．However，a BBC radio programme called More or Less，couldn’t find evidence to back up Microsoft’s report．It spoke to Dr Gemma Briggs，a psychologist at the Open University，who says there are problems with the idea of measuring attention spans and i t’s all down to the individual person，“so attention-switching ability may well have developed in recent years，in the age of the smartphone and the internet．But because someone’s distracted(分心)by their smartphone…it doesn’t mean that they then don’t have th e ability to control and maintain their attention when they carry out another task．”This suggests we’re getting better at switching our attention quickly between different tasks；we can multi—skill better than before so we can achieve more things．This is useful in the modern workplace where we need to turn our hand to many different jobs．28．What does Paragraph 1 mainly talk about?A．It’s necessary to stay focused on one thing．B．Humans have shorter attention spans than goldfish．C．Human’s attention spans are shrinking．D．Why goldfish have the shortest level of concentration．29．What led to the shrinking attention span? A．Pressure of life．B．Busy lifestyles．C．Different kinds of noise．D．The boom in modern media and products．30．What does the underlined word“It”in Paragraph 3 refer to?A．The medium．B．Microsoft’s report．C．Evidence．D．A radio programme．31．According to Dr Gemma Briggs，___________．A．people can measure attention spans accuratelyB．people have the attention—switching ability．C．People can’t control their attention to another taskD．attention—switching ability is useless in the modern workplaceDSchool playground crazes(热潮)come and go but thelatest collectable toy is proving popular with children and adults alike．My kids have gone mad for the plasticspinning disc called a fidget spinner(指尖陀螺)and I have to admit，I’ve become a little addicted too—but why?Fidget spinners have been popular．They were originally designed to help kids with conditions like autism(孤独症)deal with stress but they have become a popular toy and they’re helping reduce my stress levels too—when there’s something on my mind I just spin!So what’s the big deal about these three-pronged pieces of rotating plastic? Well，there are many different designs and colours t o collect and then there’s the challenge of spinning them，getting the speed up，balancing it on the end of your finger．On video-sharing websites，vloggers(博主)have showed millions of views from performingtricks with their fidget spinners．For most school children，they’ve become the latest must-have，although some schools have banned them，saying some are poorly made and can be a distraction for pupils．However, one teacher，Ms Timmons，says that they can aid learning among some children．She says “It is a much less disturbing way to channel their energies into something else while the teaching is going on.Fidget spinners join a long list of other childhood favourites now living in the teacher’s top drawer．It wasn’t long ago when our homes and school playgrounds were littered with loom bands(彩虹橡皮筋)as they suddenly became must—have accessories．Billions of them were sold and then made into various forms of rubbery jewellery．One teacher，Guy Tarrant，has confiscated(没收)numerous items from children over the years．It’s probably fair to say fidget spinners won’t always be flavour of the month．Eventually they’11 be replaced by a new equally addictive and annoying craze．32．For what purpose were fidget spinners originally made?A．To reduce kids’stress levels．B．To get children to amuse themselves．C．To arouse students’interest in study．D．To make kids addicted to play．33．What has made many kids go mad for fidget spinners?A．The raw materials．B．Their shapes and colors．C．Their spinning speed．D．The challenge of playing them．34．Why have some schools banned fidget spinners?A．Some spinners are badly designed．B．They are concerned about students’health．C．Some are of poor quality and bad effect．D．Some kids are always showing off tricks．35．What can we infer from the text?A．Fidget spinners are kids’favourite forever．B．School crazes change with time．C．Adults never play with fidget spinners．D．No new school crazes will appear．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。

Finance.C.Entertainment.D.Science and Technology.BI love to read before I go to sleep.It usually makes me feel calm.But a big part of this depends on what I read.I love to read Oor Wullie and The Broons.Very often I’m smiling before I go to sleep.I decide to write about this in a blog because I find that so many of us go to sleep with stress.Before we go to sleep,we may run over the day in our minds,and worry about tomorrow.We also may watch the news on TV,read the news on our smart phones or tablets,or even answer work emails.But the news is rarely proclaiming (宣告) all the things that are happening in the world and work emails make us feel that we’re still at work.All these things may leave us a stressful sleep.Oor Wullie and The Broons are not the only things I ever read at night.I sometimes read novels but,with the odd exception,I mostly avoid anything that is too mentally taxing or stimulating late at night unless it’s something that inspires me or is clearly helpful in my life.And even if I do read something mentally stimulating,when I feel myself getting tired I lay that book down and pick up trusty old Oor Wullie or The Broons for the last 10 or 15 minutes.Doing this makes my mind quiet and helps ensure that I get a peaceful sleep.Reading about Wullie or Maw and Paw Broon is like a comfort blanket for me.I’d suggest you find light-hearted reading as a comfort blanket at bedtime,especially if you find yourself stressed or depressed a lot of the time,or if you find difficulty winding at the end of a day.It is the thing that can gently turn your attention towards lightness and ease.If your material makes you laugh,then you may feel even better.Several studies show thatlaughter boosts happy chemicals in the brain.It strengthens the immune system,it’s good for the heart,and it is most definitely good for mental health.It even helps us improve our relationships.And if you do happen to pick up a copy of Oor Wullie or The Broons,I hope you find it just as entertaining as I do.24.What can we learn about Oor Wullie and The Broons?A.They make people run over the past days.B.They are the best books to be read before people sleep.C.They are extremely popular with young people.D.They make people feel relaxed and happy.25.What can we know from the text?A.Oor Wullie and The Broons are the author’s favorite books.B.A comfortable blanket makes people go to sleep easily.C.The author sometimes reads something about inspiration.D.Reading something stimulating at night helps get a peaceful sleep.26.What is Paragraph 6 mainly about?A.What material brings us laughter.B.How laughter affects our health.C.What benefits laughter brings to us.D.Why laughter is good for us.27.What’s the main purpose of the text?A.To show the importance of reading before sleeping.B.To prove the importance of a good mood before sleeping.C.To tell us how to make ourselves stay relaxed before sleeping.D.To explain how to choose a book worthy to be read before sleeping.CSometimes people call each other “scared-cat”.But have you ever thought about this expression?When a cat is frightened,its heart starts beating faster,its muscles get tense and there are changes in the chemicals in its bloodstream.Although the cat doesn’t realize this,its body is getting ready for action.If the danger continues,the animal will do one of two things.It will protect itself,or it will run away as fast as it can.Something like this also happens to people.When we are excited,angry or scared by other feelings,our bodies go through many physical changes.Our hearts beat faster,and our muscles get tense.All of these changes make us more alert and ready to react.We,too,get ready to defend ourselves or run.Human beings,however,have a problem that animals never face.If we give way to our feelings and let them take over,we can get into trouble.Have you ever said something in anger or hit somebody and regretted it later?Have you ever shouted at a teacher,told somebody you were lonely,or said you were in love,and then wished later you had kept your mouth shut?It isn’t always clever to express your feelings freely.Does this mean that it’s smarter to always hide our feelings?No!If you keep feelings of anger or sadness hidden away or bottled up inside,your body stays tense.Physical illness can develop,and you can feel disturbed badly inside.It can actually be bad for your health.It isn’t good to keep pleasant feelings inside either; all feelings need to be expressed.Feelings that you keep all bottled up inside don’t just go away.It’s as if you bought some bananas and put them in a cupboard.You might not be able to see them,but before long you’d smell them.And if you opened the cupboard,chances are that you’d see little fruit flies flying all over them.They are bad.You can try to treat feelings as if they were bananas in the cupboard.You can hide them and you can pretend they don’t exist,but they’ll still be around.And at last you’ll have to deal with them,just like those bananas.28.When people and animals are aroused by fear,.A.they feel very regretful immediatelyB.their muscles get neither tense nor relaxedC.their hearts beat either faster or slowerD.they may get ready to attack or run away29.Why do human beings get into trouble according to the passage?A.They are usually not as alert as animals.B.They sometimes can’t control their feelings.C.They always do something wrong to other people.D.They don’t pay attention to their physical changes.30.What can we infer from the passage?A.Holding in your feelings may lead to unpleasant results.B.Bananas stay fresh longer when they are in a cupboard.C.Feelings will gradually disappear when you hold them in.D.It’s good for your health to keep pleasant feelings inside.31.What is the purpose of this passage?A.To tell us that people’s feelings are like bananas in a cupboard.B.To give us some advice on how to express our feelings.C.To help us deal with feelings in a wise and proper way.D.To prove that it isn’t always wise to express our feelings freely.DSome people are so rude!Who sends an e-mail or a text message that just says “Thank you”?Who leaves a voice mail message rather than texts you?Who asks for a fact easily found on Google?Don’t these people realize that they’re wasting your time?Maybe I’m the rude one for not appreciating life’s little politeness.But many social agreed standards just don’t make sense to people drowning in digital communication.In texts,you don’t have to declare who you are or even say hello.E-mail,too,is slower than a text.Voice mail is a now impolite way of trying to connect.My father learned this lesson after leaving me a dozen voice mail messages,none of which I listened to.Exasperated,he called my sister to express his dissatisfaction that I never returned his phone calls.“Why are you leaving him voice mail?” my sister asked.“Just text him.”In the age of the smartphone,there is no reason to ask once-acceptable questions about:the weather forecast,a business’s phone number,or directions to a house,a restaurant,which can be easily found on Google Maps.But people still ask these things.And when you answer,they respond with a thank-you e-mail.How to handle these differing standards?Easy.Consider your audience.Some people,especially older ones,appreciate a thank-you message.Others,like me,want no reply.The anthropologist (人类学家) Margaret Mead once said that in traditional societies,the young learnt from the old.But in modern societies,the old can also learn from the young.Here’s hoping that politeness never goes out of fashion but that time-wasting forms of communication do.32.What does the underlined word “Exasperated” mean in the fifth paragraph?A.Worried.B.Surprised.C.Annoyed.D.Tired.33.Why didn’t the writer reply to his father?A.He liked text messages better.B.He enjoyed checking his voice mail.C.He didn’t receive any voice mail messages.D.He didn’t want to talk with his father.34.Which of the following does the writer agree to?A.People needn’t learn from one another in traditional societies.B.Dealing with voice mail should vary with each individual.C.People needn’t turn to Google for help when in trouble.D.Declaring who you are or saying hello in texts is necessary.35.What’s the best title of this passage?A.Nowadays:what should we do with text messages?B.Nowadays:do you like leaving others a voice message?C.Nowadays:what means should we use in communication?D.Nowadays:do you need a thank-you message?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。

AA Take a view, the Landscape（风景）Photographer of the Year Award, was the idea of Charlie Waite, one of today's most respected landscape photographers.Each year, the high standard of entries has shown that the Awards are the perfect platform to showcase the very best photography of the British landscape.Take a view is a desirable annual competition for photographers from all comers of the UK and beyond.Mike Shepherd(2011) Skiddaw in Winter Cumbria, EnglandIt was an extremely cold winter's evening and freezing fog hung in the air. I climbed to the top of a small rise and realised that the mist was little more than a few feet deep, and though it was only a short climb, I found myself completely above it and looking at a wonderfully clear view of Skiddaw with the sum setting in the west. I used classical techniques, translated from my college days spent in the darkroom into Photoshop, to achieve the black—and—white image（图像）.Timothy Smith(2014)MacclesfieldForest Cheshire, EnglandI was back in my home town of Macclesfield to take some winter images.

Everyone in the family settled quickly into thecity except me. Without my beloved beaches and endless blue—sky days, I felt ata loss and out of place. Until I made a discovery.Southbank, at an eastern bend in the Thames, is the center of British skateboarding, where the continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing .I loved it. I soon made friends with the local skaters. We spoke our own language. And my favorite: Safe. Safe meant cool. It meant hello. It meant don't worry about it. Once, when trying a certain trick on the beam（横杆）, I fell onto the stones, damaging a nerve in my hand, and Toby came over, helping me up: Safe, man. Safe. A few minutes later, when I landed the trick, my friends beat their boards loud, shouting: " Safe! Safe! Safe!" And that's what mattered—landing tricks, being a good skater.When I was 15, my family moved to Washington. I tried skateboarding there,but the locals were far less welcoming. Within a couple of years, I'd given it up.When I returned to London in 2004, I found myself wandering down to Southbank, spending hours there. I've traveled back several times since, most recently thatpast spring. The day was cold but clear: tourists and Londoners stopped to watchthe skaters. Weaving（穿梭）among the kids who rushed by on their boards, I found my way to the beam. Then a rail—thin teenager, in a baggy white T—shirt, skidded（滑）up to the beam. He sat next to me. He seemed not to notice the man next to him.But soon I caught a few of his glances. "I was a local here 20 years ago," I told him. Then, slowly, he began to nod his head. "Safe, man. Safe.""Yeah," I said. "Safe."8. What can we learn about the author soon after he moved to London?A. He felt disappointed.B. He gave up his hobby.C. He liked the weather there.D. He had disagreements with his family.9. What do the underlined words "Safe! Safe! Safe!" probably mean?A. Be careful!B. Well done!C. No way!D. Don'tworry!10.

What message does the author seem to convey in the text?A. Children should learn a second language.B. Sport is necessary for children's health.C. Children need a sense of belongingD. Seeing the world is a must for children.DWho is a genius? that question has greatly interested humankind for centuries.Let's state clearly: Einstein was a genius. His face is almost the international symbol for genius. But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself. Why is it that some people are so much more intelligentor creative than the rest of us? And who are they?In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniuses were most often white men,of European origin. Perhaps that is not a surprise. It's said that history is written by the victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club—women,or people of a different color or belief—they were unacknowledged and rejectedby others.A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six, girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender（性别）are "really, really smart." Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are "really, really smart." Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up? It doesn't take a genius to know the answer: absolutely not.Here's the good news. In a wired world with constant global communication, we're all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear. And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors（因素）like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with "intelligence, creativity, perseverance（毅力）, and simple good fortune, who are able to change the world."12. What does the author think of victors' standards for joining the genius club?A. They're unfair.B. They're conservative.C. They're objective.D. They're strict.13. What can we infer about girls from the study in Science?A. They think themselves smart.B. They look up to great thinkers.C. They see gender differences earlier than boys.D. They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs14. Why are more geniuses known to the public?A. Improved global communication.B. Less discrimination against women.C. Acceptance of victors' concepts.D. Changes in people's social positions.15. What is the best title for the text?A. Geniuses Think AlikeB. Genius Takes Many FormsC. Genius and IntelligenceD.
