AOne afternoon last week, I saw three tearful children from my son's school being comforted by teachers. That morning, my 11-year-old had stomach pains, retching (干呕) into a bowl. Talking to other mothers later, I heard about other children with stomachache or difficulty sleeping the night before.What caused so much pain? Sports day. Sports day might be necessary at a highly competitive independent school, but not at a village primary school. For the children who can fly like the wind, sports day causes no problem. For those who are overweight or just not good at sport, it is a nightmare (噩梦). Even for those who enjoy running but fall halfway down the track in front of the entire school and their parents，it can prove a disaster.Why do we put our children through this annual suffering? Some may say competition is character building；or it's taking part, not winning, that's important；or that it is a tradition of school life. I just felt great pity for those children in tears or in pain.Team games at the end of sports day produced some close races, wild enthusiasm, lots of shouting—and were fun to watch. More importantly, the children who were not so fast or quick at passing the ball were hidden a little from everyone's eyes. Some of them also had the thrill of being on the winning side.I wish that sports day could be abandoned and replaced with some other less competitive event. Perhaps an afternoon of team games, with a few races for those who want them, would be less stressful for the children and a lot more fun to watch.21．What can we learn about the author's son from Paragraph 1?A．He talked with some mothers. B．He comforted his classmates.C．He had difficulty in sleeping. D．He suffered from stomachache.22．Sports day is still an annual event in this school probably because __________.A．this is an independent school B．it is a tradition of the schoolC．it helps children lose weight D．children enjoy watching sports23．What does the author think about team games?A．They should include more stressful races.B．They are acceptable to different children.C．They should be abandoned at primary schools.D．They are less fun for those who love running.24．What is the author's attitude towards sports day?A．Critical. B．Neutral.C．Positive. D．Ambiguous.BMOOCs, short f or “massive open online courses，” mark an important, possibly revolutionary, development in education. These courses are on line, free of charge, and open to anyone in the world who has a laptop and an Internet connection. Moreover, they are mainly offered by great universities like Stanford, Berkeley, Harvard and Columbia.The courses are arranged according to how difficult they are, enabling students to progress from beginners to the advanced. The courses cover not only a broad range of science subjects such as math and computer science, but also courses in social sciences and humanities. Though MOOCs are not offered for credit and degree, many students enroll(加入) in the courses for real skills or knowledge which they can put to some practical use.The format(形式) seems better than the traditional school class. The average quality of the lecturers is much higher. Besides, students can learn back and forward—that is, they can go at their own learning speed, which they can't do in a live lecture. And, more importantly, they don't have to travel anywhere to attend an online lecture. There is a problem of asking questions of the lecturer in a class of ten thousand students, but some MOOCs have solved it by allowing students to post questions on line for a vote, and only the most popular questions are put to the lecturer.In a knowledge age, lifelong learning is not confined to a traditional classroom. Students taking MOOCS are usually very clever, have work experience, and in many cases, have already developed a set of practical skills. Moreover, they also offer unique international perspectives(远景) that would be the envy of any school classroom.25．Which of the following statements is NOT true about MOOCs?A．The word “MOOCs” is short for “massive open online campuses”．B．Anyone who has a computer and an Internet connection can take MOOCs.C．MOOCs are usually offered by first-class universities in the world.D．MOOCs may be a breakthrough in the development of education.26．MOOCs seem to have an advantage over traditional school classes in that ________.A．there is a problem of asking questions in traditional classesB．students enrolling in MOOCs can get credit and degree easilyC．students can learn at their own study paceD．students can travel to many places when taking MOOCs27．The meaning of the underlined word “confined” means ________.A．extended B．developedC．limited D．advancedCPassenger pigeons (旅鸽)once flew over much of the United States in unbelievable numbers. Written accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries described flocks (群)so large that they darkened the sky for hours.It was calculated that when its population reached its highest point, there were more than 3 billion passenger pigeons—a number equal to 24 to 40 percent of the total bird population in the United States, making it perhaps the most abundant bird in the world. Even as late as 1870 when their numbers had already become smaller, a flock believed to be 1 mile wide and 320 miles (about 515 kilometers) long was seen near Cincinnati.Sadly the abundance of passenger pigeons may have been their undoing. Where the birds were most abundant, people believed there was an everlasting supply and killed them by the thousands. Commercial hunters attracted them to small clearings with grain, waited until pigeons had settled to feed, then threw large nets over them, taking hundreds at a time. The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants.By the closing decades of the 19th century，the hardwood forests where passenger pigeons nested had been damaged by Americans' need for wood, which scattered (驱散) the flocks and forced the birds to go farther north, where cold temperatures and spring storms contributed to their decline. Soon the great flocks were gone, never to be seen again.In 1897, the state of Michigan passed a law prohibiting the killing of passenger pigeons, but by then, no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10 years. The last confirmed wild pigeon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County, Ohio, in 1900. For a time, a few birds survived under human care. The last of them, known affectionately as Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden on September 1, 1914.28. In the 18th and early 19th centuries, passenger pigeons________.A. were the biggest bird in the worldB. lived mainly in the south of AmericaC. did great harm to the natural environmentD. were the largest bird population in the US29. The underlined word “undoing” probably refers to the pigeons'________.A. escapeB. ruinC. liberationD. evolution30. What was the main reason for people to kill passenger pigeons?A. To seek pleasure.B. To save other birds.C. To make money.D. To protect crops.31. What can we infer about the law passed in Michigan?A. It was ignored by the public.B. It was declared too late.C. It was unfair.D. It was strict.DWhen different species of birds flock(聚集) together, their flight formations are determined by social dynamics both between and within species.New research from the Universities of Cambridge and Exeter reveals for the first time that, contrary to current models used to explain the movement of flocks, the differences between bird species and social relationships between individuals play a critical role in determining the dynamics of mixed-species flocks.The unified(群集) behaviour of bird flocks has puzzled scientists for hundreds of years. One naturalist from the turn of the century even suggested telepathy(心灵感应) may be involved. There have since been more logical explanations, including mathematical models that show that repeated interactions among individuals following simple rules can generate coordinated(协同的) group movements. However, these models usually rely on the assumption that individuals within groups are identical and interact independently, which may not reflect reality.Jolle Jolles, a PhD student at the University of Cambridge's Department of Zoology and author of the paper, said：“Spectacular collective behaviour can be found in a large range of animal species, and we now know that often these complex coordinated group movements may be the result of individuals following simple rules. However, rarely are the individual characteristics and social relationships within them taken into account. Our research highlights that these striking displays of group behaviour are much more complex.”By analysing high-resolution photographs of mixed flocks of rooks and jackdaws(both from the corvid family), the researchers found that rather than individuals interacting in a consistent fashion throughout the flock, interactions depended on social dynamics between the different species as well as relationships within a species.The researchers discovered that birds prefer to fly close to members of their own species, and that the larger and more dominant rooks take the lead by flying near the front of flocks. Additionally, the lifelong, monogamous(一妻一夫制的) pair bonds that are characteristic of both species seem to be reflected in flight, as birds often fly particularly close to a single, same species partner.Dr Alex Thornton, principal investigator of the Cambridge Jackdaw Project, now at the University of Exeter and author of the paper, said “Together, our findings demonstrate that to understand the structure of groups，such as bird flocks，we need to consider the characteristics and relationships of the individuals within them.”32. The underlined word “generate” means ________.A．set down B．take awayC．bring about D．give up33．According to Jolle Jolles, what are seldom considered about coordinated group movement?A．Individual characteristics and social relationship between them.B．Repeated interactions among individuals and social dynamics.C．Telepathy and social relationship between them.D．The structure of groups and the varieties of species.34．Birds may prefer to fly the closest to ________.A．the largest one B．the most dynamic oneC．the lifelong partner D．the friendly partner35．What is the main idea of the passage?A．How birds interact in simple rules.B．How birds of different feathers flock together.C．Why birds show preference to flocking.D．Why birds display the characteristics.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。

英语高考模拟卷-沈阳市郊联体2015届高三第二次模拟考试英语试题及答案
辽宁省沈阳市郊联体2015届高三第二次模拟考试英语试题卷I（共三部分，115分）第一部分：听力（略）第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节：（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AThe Great Barn AdventureOne morning when I was 11, I explored the town’s abandoned round grain barn（谷仓）.I found a chained sliding door that was wide enough for me to pass through.Inside, there was a heavy smell of dead mice in the dark. After my eyes adjusted, I noticed a shaft (竖井) that rose all the way to the top of the barn. On one side was a one-man elevator with a long rope and roller.I stepped onto the platform and gave the rope a drag and the elevator began sliding up the shaft, but stopped halfway. After a brief panic attack, I noticed holes in the wall at regular intervals, forming a ladder. For reasons known only to an 11-year-old, I decided it would be better to go up than down. So, with shaking hands, I began climbing the wall.After what seemed like forever, I reached the top of the shaft. I stood up, dusted myself off and found absolutely nothing of interest. It was just an empty room with a ladder leading up to the roof. I climbed all the way up here for this? Then I noticed a fire extinguisher（灭火器）,which I’d always wanted to shoot off. So this was the chance of a lifetime. I tried it, and, much to my surprise, the thing worked! It shot out a thick cloud of powder that instantly filled the room. I couldn’t breathe. I was going to choke to death, and they’d probably never even find my body.Luckily, I remembered the ladder to the roof. I climbed up, popped the straw roof and saw a bright blue sky.I suddenly realized the dust and powder pouring out of the top could draw attention. So when the dust had settled, I climbed down and slipped out of the chained door. I’m not sure if I was more excited about being alive or about not being caught, but I ran all the way back home. 21. When the author got inside the barn, he _______.A. noticed a man on the elevatorB. opened the chained sliding doorC. saw many dead mice in the darkD. found a shaft leading to the top22. Which of the following is the right order of the author’s adventure?a. The elevator stopped halfway.b. He entered the round grain barn.c. He climbed to the top of the shaft.d. He found a fire extinguisher and shot it off.A. b-a-c-dB. a-c-b-dC. c-a-d-bD. b-c-a-d23. After getting out of the chained door, the author might feel _______.A. inspiredB. relievedC. surprisedD. disappointed24.From the passage, we can learn that the author was probably a boy full of _______.A. passionsB. dreamsC. curiosityD. imaginationBJust 25 years ago, the top three career hopes for young people in Britain were teacher, banker and doctor. Now, they want to be sports star, pop star and actor, according to a survey by the Guardian newspaper.Rachel, a character in the popular TV show Glee, may be said to speak for British teenagers. "Nowadays being nobody is worse than being poor." He said.Emma Brockes, a reporter with the Guardian, believes it is "the bad influence of celebrity(名人)culture" that is to blame. "When children wanted to be doctor, it wasn't because they were really more interested in the functions of human organs than they are now; you go where the respect is." She wrote.It could explain why there has been such an increase in levels of anxiety and depression. Dr Carlo Stranger, of Tel Aviv University, studied the sense of self for his new book The Fear of Insignificance: Searching for Meaning in the 21st Century. He told the Daily Mail that young people now are "affected by the close connection to the global entertainment network, which has turned ranking and rating people according to wealth and celebrity into an obsession(痴迷).""As humans, we naturally measure ourselves to those around us, but now we live in a global village. We are comparing ourselves with the most ‘important' people in the world and finding ourselves wanting," he said. Today, even high achievers constantly fear that they are insignificant when they compare themselves to success stories in the media.The way out? Simply stop measuring your achievement through a fantasy of wealth and celebrity. Dr Strenger said that it is a process called "active self-acceptance through a constant search for self-knowledge through life.""The fear of insignificance can only be overcome through strong individual and cultural identity over and above measurable achievement," he said.25. According to Emma Brockes, what causes the increasing level of anxiety?A．Choices of future careers.B．Access to the global network.C．Bad influences of celebrities.D．Endless comparison with others.26. Which of the following is true of Dr Carlo Strenger?A．He is a newspaper reporterB．He is the spokesman of teenagers.C．He tells success stories on TV.D．He is against ranking people with wealth.27. Dr Carlo Strenger suggests that young people should.A．seek active self-acceptanceB．stick to their own dreamsC．make great achievementsD．search for the secret of wealth28. The text is mainly written to .A．talk about job choicesB．analyse a social phenomenonC．encourage celebrity cultureD．introduce three famous peopleCWe have information about over 300 volunteering opportunities with more than 250 local organizations (charities, statutory organizations such as hospitals and social services and community groups).

AIt’s wonderful to go to another country, complete a volunteer project and feel that you really have a positive influence. But how can you become an international volunteer?* Plan practically. Contact(联系) the organization a few months before leaving and find out if there are materials which are rare and hard to get for the project. What you often consider plentiful here, such as nails or hammers, is in great need in other parts of the world.* Do the project together, not on your own. You are a guest in the community(社区). The most successful result is not that you build something and walk away, but that you and community build something as a team. Share skills and build together.* Be flexible. Not everything is going to happen as planned. Often the other country doesn’t have the right tools, manpower, transportation or funds to get all the needed work done. In a word, they lack infrastructure(基础设施).* Contact the people in the community. Often you will have “downtime” outside the range of the project. Rather than move back to the group with whom you traveled, be sure to spend time with the people of the community. Listen to the things about their lives. If you can’t speak the language, smiles work wonders. And you will be surprised —you will find a way to community.V olunteering is a special and life-long experience for everyone involved(参与的). Be prepared that the person who may be changed most is you. It’s a joyful, often careful experience which will encourage you to view yourself, your neighbors and your world quite differently.21. To become a good volunteer in another country, you need to _________.A. stick to your original planB. speak the language fluentlyC. get well prepared in advanceD. bring along nails or hammers22. Which might be the most successful result when you do the project?A. Donating books to the community library.B. Spending some time chatting with the people.C. Building a school for the children before leaving.D. Making practical tools with the community members.23. The underlined word “downtime” in Paragraph 5 probably refers to __________.A. the welfare when you travelB. the sadness when you are aloneC. the period when you are not workingD. the feeling when you become tired out24. What is the text mainly about?A. Places in great need of volunteers.B. Ways to cooperate with local people.C. Reasons for the popularity of volunteering.D. Tips on becoming an international volunteer.BIf 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 “m etabolites”—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 “breathprints”, 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(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 aspecial 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(早已确立的)analysis of blood and urine,”said Malcolm Kohler, professor at the University Hospital Zurich.25.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. trained dogs can identify people with certain cancers26. In comparison with blood or urine testing, breath testing is _______.A. comfortable and convincingB. traditional and reliableC. accurate and competitiveD. quick and convenient27.What is the author’s attitude toward breath testing?A. Doubtful.B. Approving.C. Unconcerned.D. Worried.28. 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.CHow could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural environments－mostly for entertainment purposes－is fair and respectful?Zoo officials say they are concerned about animals. However, most zoos remain “collections” of interesting “things” rather than protective habitats(栖息地). Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely, and far from their natural homes.Zoos claim(声称) to educate people and save endangered species, but visitors leave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals’ natural behavior, intelligence, or beauty. Zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages, and most signs only mention the species’ name, diet, and natural range. The animals’ normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos don’t usually take care of the animals’ natural needs.The animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy and little opportunity for mental and physical exercise. This results in unusually self-destructive behavior called zoochosis. A worldwide study of zoos found that zoochosis is common among animals kept in small spaces or cages. Another study showed that elephants spend 22 percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bars, and bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth, a sign of unhappiness and pain.Furthermore, most animals in zoos are not endangered. Captive breeding(圈养繁殖) of endangered big cats, Asian elephants, and other species(物种) has not resulted in their being sent back to the wild. Zoos talk a lot about their captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a species dying out. In fact, baby animals also attract a lot of paying customers. Haven’t we seen enough competitions to name baby animals?Actually, we will save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons why people kill them. Instead of supporting zoos, we should support groups that work to protect animals’ natural habitats.29.What does the author think of the zoos?A. They love to collect interesting things.B. They are not worthy of the public support.C. They do not treat animals as human beings.D. They teach people to save endangered animals.30.The author develops his opinion mainly by _______.A. using evidence he has collected at zoosB. pointing out the wrong doings of the zoosC. questioning the way animals are protectedD. discussing the advantages of natural habitats31. Though arguing against zoos, the author has to admit that _______.A. zoos have to keep animals in small cagesB. most animals in zoos are endangered speciesC. some endangered animals are reproduced in zoosD. it’s acceptable to keep animals away from their habitatsDThere has been much debate since Titanic became one of the most successful films of all time: Did Rose leave Jack to die by not letting him up on the makeshift(临时替代的) lifeboat as they floated in the ocean?A U.S. television show, the Discovery Channel’s Mythbusters recreated the dangerous conditions after the Titanic sank in 1912, and through a chain of hypothermia(体温过低) tests, has discovered Leonardo DiCaprio’s character would have survived the disaster had he lifted himself onto the board from which Rose, played by Kate Winslet, was rescued.As fans of the film remember, Jack remains in the freezing water while Rose lies on a floating piece of the destroyed ship as he doesn’t want it turned over.In the Oscar-winning film, Jack dies from hypothermia while Rose is rescued. Titanic director James Cameron told Myth busters he believed the board wouldn’t have supported both Jack and Rose.But the team found if Rose had taken off her life jacket and put it under the board it would have given them enough buoyancy to keep both of them floating.In the film Rose was one of the last to be rescued. Historical documents show that theOfficer Harold Lowe, who was made to rescue Rose, looked for survivors for 45 minutes.In a separate test the team found that had Jack remained in the freezing water for over an hour he would have died from hypothermia.Cameron, however, had the last word telling the TV show that Jack had to die as that’s what the plot called for. He said, “I think you’re missing the point here. The plot says Jack died. He has to die. So maybe we should have made the board a tiny bit smaller, but he’s still going down.”32. The U.S. TV show did tests on Jack’s death ______.A. after creating a difficult conditionB. by tying Rose’s life jacket to the boatC. after talking to the US director James CameronD. by testing how long one can hold out in cold water33. What does t he underlined word “buoyancy” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A. Force.B. Warmth.C. Softness.D. Space.34. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A. Rose was the last one to be rescued.B. Finally Cameron agreed with the team.C. Cameron thought the board was hard enough.D. Kate Winslet’s character died from hypothermia.35.

辽宁省朝阳市三校协作体2015高三英语一模考试试卷含解析
辽宁省朝阳市三校协作体2015 届高三一模考试英语试卷（带解析）一、阅读理解（共4小题）1. When Armida Armato’s daughter, Alexia, came home from school one day last year keen to go on a school trip to Ecuador, she wasn’t too sure how to feel. She was happy that her daughter could experience something she never did as a teen but was fearful of letting her travel to such a remote part of the world.Alexia was 16 at the time, a student at Westwood High School. The school sponsored a humanitarian trip for 26 students and two teachers to spend 18 days living in a mountain village to build a one-room school. Even though Armato trusted her daughter, the other students and the teachers, she was worried about the side effects from the travel vaccines, possible accidents, and medical care.Now that Alexi a was home, Armato said she saw her daughter’s new maturity, greater confidence and independence. “This is the best thing I ever did,” Alexia said. “The experience was so eye-opening and life-changing. You’re with people who are not as lucky as you are. Th ey live in very poor conditions but they’re so happy and outgoing. You say, ‘My God. I’m taking everything for granted back home.’”She said they built a one-room school from scratch with no mechanical cement mixers. They used their hands, shovels and basic tools. She and another student lived with a local family in a small village about eight hours outside the capital, Quito. Despite the initial strangeness and knowing only basic Spanish, she said they grew very close and felt like a family.Every year, groups of students at Montreal High School like Alexia pack their bags and fly off with classmates and teachers to developing countries where they volunteer for a variety of projects.“Armato’s worries are very common among parents,” says Bill Nevin, a teacher at St. George’s High School. He organizes a humanitarian rip to India to the Sheela Bal Bhavan orphanage and says the three biggest fears families have are health, security and contact.1．When hearing the news that her daughter would go on a school trip to Ecuador, Armato was _______.A．proud and happyB．supportive but concernedC．fearful and nervousD．excited but puzzled2．The underlined phrase “from scratch” in Paragraph 4 probably means “______”.A．having great helpB．using high technologyC．ending up in failureD．starting from the beginning3．What would be the best title for the text?A．Volunteering helps students grow and develop.B．School trips make parents worried about their children.C．Ecuador is the most attractive travel destination in the world.D．Brave Alexia dreams to work in Ecuador one day.2.Homestay UK/Great BritainHere you will find a selection of homestay hosts and host families in the UK．If you want to learn more about the British host family of your choice, please click on information at www．Homestaybooking．Com．You will then see a personal introduction of the UK homestay host．If y ou don’t want to search yourself, just register for free and receive our matching recommendations．Chika and Tara from London, the United KingdomInformation about the homestay hostChika is 28 years old．She is away from home most of the time．Tara is 18 years old．She is at home every day．They both speak English．Chika and Tara’s guests can stay for at least 5 nights and up to a maximum of 365 nights．Chika and Tara have no children living at home．It is a non-smoking residence(住宅)．No pets live in this household．Information about the homestay accommodationThe accommodation is in London．The name of the neighborhood is Greenwich．The distance to the city center is 1．6km．The next access point to public transport is at 15 m distance．Three guests can stay in Tara and Chika’s house at the same time．The following accommodation is generally available:Single room with shared use of the family bathroom*Size: 12．0 ㎡*Facilities: desk, Internet access, mirror, hairdryer and wardrobe(衣橱) *Price per night per person: ￡20．00 per night(one single)Twin room with shared use of the family bathroom*Size: 15．0 ㎡*Facilities: TV, desk, Internet access, mirror, hairdryer and wordrobe*Price per night per person:￡20．00 per night(one guest)￡17．00 per night(two guests)The room charge includes the following services: Internet access, regular room cleaning, breakfast, free use of the washing machine．Additional available service at an extra charge: Pick-up service(￡60．00 one-way); Lunch(￡6．00 per person per day); Dinner(￡6．00 per person per night) Vegetarian(素食的) meals are available．1．Chika and Tara’s house would be a good choice for _______．A．a pet loverB．a heavy smokerC．a person who eats no meatD．one who needs a one-night stay2．What do we know about Chika and Tara’s house?A．It lies in the center of the city．B．It is not far away from Greenwich．C．Public transport is convenient there．D．The distance from the house to London is 1．6 km．3．If Mary chooses a twin room and pick-up service(two-way), how much should she pay per day?A．￡140． B．￡137． C．￡80． D．￡773. As many as 4 out of every 1,000 infants born today have permanent hearing loss．When parents learn that their child has hearing loss, they are faced with many difficult decisions．These decisions can include choosing therapies and schools, as well as finding financial help for hearing aids or cochlear implants (人工耳蜗)．Help Me Hear Foundation is a public charity that gives the gift of hearing to deaf children from families existing on very low incomes around the world．The foundation offers life-changing services for impoverished families, and provides real help for children with hearing impairment who may otherwise be left behind in schools or society due to their lack of hearing．Help Me Hear Foundation believes that a child’s first years of development arecritical．Being able to hear is vital to human, and Help Me Hear Foundation seeks to provide a positive lasting impression on society through its programs．Help Me Hear Foundation has many goals, including relieving the burden on communities with hearing-impaired infants and children, and strengthening the social structure of families and neighborhoods．Recipients of Help Me Hear Foundation’s benefits receive state-of-the-art hearing devices that otherwise would cost thousands of dollars per child over the course of their lifetime．The Foundation raises money through donations for hearing aids and cochlear implants, which saves recipients and their families on average over $50,000 on related expenses．The Foundation tries to be a transparent charity, and wants to be a catalyst for allowing deaf and hearing-impaired children to develop in a typical fashion alongside their peers．Needy families can obtain information on specific services, and find out about deafness education by visiting the Help Me Hear Foundation’s website．The website offers helpful information on how hearing aids work, and how hearing aids ease many of the learning and language challenges that hearing-impaired children deal with on a daily basis．1．Help Me Hear Foundation was probably set up to _____．A．build schools for deaf childrenB．research deaf children’s behaviorC．protect deaf children from being ignoredD．offer real help to poor deaf children2．We learn from the text that _____．A．the local government is in charge of the foundationB．the work of the foundation depends on donationsC．even blind children can turn to the foundationD．poor deaf African children cannot get help from the foundation3．Visit the foundation’s website, and you will learn about _____．A．the function of hearing aidsB．the specific services the foundation needsC．the challenges that children face every dayD．the prices of a variety of hearing aids4．For whom is the text most probably written?A．Poor parents who have deaf children．B．Doctors who want to improve skills．C．Students who cannot see the blackboard clearly．D．Teachers who have deaf children in their class．5．The author writes the text mainly to _____．A．tell how to avoid permanent hearing lossB．explain how hard a life deaf children liveC．introduce Help Me Hear FoundationD．advise people to give money to Help Me Hear Foundation4. Have you ever noticed that the mor e you have the more you want? Let’s face it．Thinking our life is good enough doesn’t come naturally to many people．When we have high expectations of everything in life we will run into disappointment．Only when we are aware that needs are different from desires can we live with satisfaction．Here are a few ideas to help you be happier with what you have and who you are．Focus on what you are thankful for．Most people want things to be better than they are, or when things are going well, we forget to appreciate what we have．Learn to reflect on how much better things are than they could be．Focus on what you are thankful for．Write down 5 things you are grateful for right now．When we hold onto regrets from decisions we have made, it can really poison our well-being．Many people regret something they can no longer change, which ends up holding them back from moving forward in a more positive manner．What happened in the past is done and gone, so work to stay present and be mindful of the current moment to find more joy and fulfillment．When we use other people as the measuring stick for our personal success and quality of life we are likely to be less satisfied．Social comparisons can provide useful information when we try to learn from others, but they also hold our perspective in a discontented position．Compare yourself less with others so you can be satisfied more．When you are focused on your big ambitions and future goals you might elide the daily pleasures that surround you．Learn to slow down and absorb the wonder and beauty around you．Stay present and focus on the task you’re undertaking at the moment．Don’t let the life pass you by because you’re always on the go and distracted by ambition．Practice looking at life through the lens of contentment and it will become morenatural．1．How can we live with contentment?A．To change our lifestyle．B．To have a motivation in life．C．To give less attention to what we are grateful for．D．To realize the difference between needs and desires．2．What’s the main i dea of Paragraph 3?A．Make wise decisionsB．Know the present situationC．Let go of regretsD．Remember the past3．The underlined word “elide”(in Paragraph 5) probably means “______”．A．enjoy B．change C．create D．neglect4．What should you do to put yourself in a good mood?A．Make time for simple pleasures．B．Learn from successful people．C．Focus on your future goals．D．Create chance to learn more．二、信息匹配（共1小题）5. Mary is digging in the ground for a photo, when along comes John．Seeing that there is no one in sight, John starts to scream．John’s angry mother rushes over and drives Mary away．Once his mum has gone, John helps himself to Mary’s potato．We’ve all experienced similar annoying tricks when we were young—the brother who stole your ball and then got you into trouble by telling your parents you had hit him．But Mary and John are not humans．They’re African baboons(狒狒)．___1___ John’s scream and his mother’s attack on Mary could have been a matter of chance, but John was later seen playing the same tricks on others．___2___ Studying behavior like this is complicated but scientists discovered apes(猿) clearly showed that they intended to cheat and knew when they themselves had been cheated．___3___ An ape was annoying him, so he tricked her into going away by pretending he had seen something interesting．When she found nothing, she “walked back, hit me over the head with her hand and ignored me for the rest of the day．”Another way to decide whether an animal’s behavior is deliberate i s to look for actions that are not normal for that animal．A zoo worker describes how an apedealt with an enemy．“He slowly stole up behind the other ape, walking on tiptoe．When he got close to his enemy, he pushed him violently in the back, then ran indoors．” Wild apes do not normally walk on tiptoe．____4___ But looking at the many cases of deliberate trickery in apes, it is impossible to explain them all as simple copying．It seems that trickery does play an important part in ape societies．____5___ Studying the intelligence of our closest relative could be the way to understand the development of human intelligence．A．In most cases the animal probably doesn’t know it is cheating．B．An amusing example of this comes from a psychologist working in Tanzania．C．And playing tricks is as much a part of monkey behavior as it is of human behavior．D．So the psychologists asked his colleagues if they had noticed this kind of trickery．E．The ability of animals to cheat may be a better measure of their intelligence than their use of toolsF．This use of a third individual to achieve a goal is only one of the many tricks commonly used by baboons．G．Of course it’s possible tha t it could have learnt from humans that such behavior works, without understanding why．三、完形填空（共1小题）6.

Personally, I think the reform has between advantages and disadvantages．On the one hand, it can reduce students’ learn burden and enable English to return back to its true function．On the other hand, it will cause students to spend less time on studying English and to attached less importance to English．If so, students will not have a good knowledge of English．What’s more, if students don’t have so a good ability, they will not be able to broaden our horizon and meet the future challenges．六、书面表达（共1小题）9.假设你是李华，你的英国笔友Bob将于九月到你所在城市的建新华文学校学中文，来信请你在学校附近为他找一套住房。

AOne afternoon last week, I saw three tearful children from my son's school being comforted by teachers. That morning, my 11-year-old had stomach pains, retching (干呕) into a bowl. Talking to other mothers later, I heard about other children with stomachache or difficulty sleeping the night before.What caused so much pain? Sports day. Sports day might be necessary at a highly competitive independent school, but not at a village primary school. For the children who can fly like the wind, sports day causes no problem. For those who are overweight or just not good at sport, it is a nightmare (噩梦). Even for those who enjoy running but fall halfway down the track in front of the entire school and their parents，it can prove a disaster.Why do we put our children through this annual suffering? Some may say competition is character building；or it's taking part, not winning, that's important；or that it is a tradition of school life. I just felt great pity for those children in tears or in pain.Team games at the end of sports day produced some close races, wild enthusiasm, lots of shouting—and were fun to watch. More importantly, the children who were not so fast or quick at passing the ball were hidden a little from everyone's eyes. Some of them also had the thrill of being on the winning side.I wish that sports day could be abandoned and replaced with some other less competitive event. Perhaps an afternoon of team games, with a few races for those who want them, would be less stressful for the children and a lot more fun to watch.21．What can we learn about the author's son from Paragraph 1?A．He talked with some mothers. B．He comforted his classmates.C．He had difficulty in sleeping. D．He suffered from stomachache.22．Sports day is still an annual event in this school probably because __________.A．this is an independent school B．it is a tradition of the schoolC．it helps children lose weight D．children enjoy watching sports23．What does the author think about team games?A．They should include more stressful races.B．They are acceptable to different children.C．They should be abandoned at primary schools.D．They are less fun for those who love running.24．What is the author's attitude towards sports day?A．Critical. B．Neutral.C．Positive. D．Ambiguous.BMOOCs, short f or “massive open online courses，” mark an important, possibly revolutionary, development in education. These courses are on line, free of charge, and open to anyone in the world who has a laptop and an Internet connection. Moreover, they are mainly offered by great universities like Stanford, Berkeley, Harvard and Columbia.The courses are arranged according to how difficult they are, enabling students to progress from beginners to the advanced. The courses cover not only a broad range of science subjects such as math and computer science, but also courses in social sciences and humanities. Though MOOCs are not offered for credit and degree, many students enroll(加入) in the courses for real skills or knowledge which they can put to some practical use.The format(形式) seems better than the traditional school class. The average quality of the lecturers is much higher. Besides, students can learn back and forward—that is, they can go at their own learning speed, which they can't do in a live lecture. And, more importantly, they don't have to travel anywhere to attend an online lecture. There is a problem of asking questions of the lecturer in a class of ten thousand students, but some MOOCs have solved it by allowing students to post questions on line for a vote, and only the most popular questions are put to the lecturer.In a knowledge age, lifelong learning is not confined to a traditional classroom. Students taking MOOCS are usually very clever, have work experience, and in many cases, have already developed a set of practical skills. Moreover, they also offer unique international perspectives(远景) that would be the envy of any school classroom.25．Which of the following statements is NOT true about MOOCs?A．The word “MOOCs” is short for “massive open online campuses”．B．Anyone who has a computer and an Internet connection can take MOOCs.C．MOOCs are usually offered by first-class universities in the world.D．MOOCs may be a breakthrough in the development of education.26．MOOCs seem to have an advantage over traditional school classes in that ________.A．there is a problem of asking questions in traditional classesB．students enrolling in MOOCs can get credit and degree easilyC．students can learn at their own study paceD．students can travel to many places when taking MOOCs27．The meaning of the underlined word “confined” means ________.A．extended B．developedC．limited D．advancedCPassenger pigeons (旅鸽)once flew over much of the United States in unbelievable numbers. Written accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries described flocks (群)so large that they darkened the sky for hours.It was calculated that when its population reached its highest point, there were more than 3 billion passenger pigeons—a number equal to 24 to 40 percent of the total bird population in the United States, making it perhaps the most abundant bird in the world. Even as late as 1870 when their numbers had already become smaller, a flock believed to be 1 mile wide and 320 miles (about 515 kilometers) long was seen near Cincinnati.Sadly the abundance of passenger pigeons may have been their undoing. Where the birds were most abundant, people believed there was an everlasting supply and killed them by the thousands. Commercial hunters attracted them to small clearings with grain, waited until pigeons had settled to feed, then threw large nets over them, taking hundreds at a time. The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants.By the closing decades of the 19th century，the hardwood forests where passenger pigeons nested had been damaged by Americans' need for wood, which scattered (驱散) the flocks and forced the birds to go farther north, where cold temperatures and spring storms contributed to their decline. Soon the great flocks were gone, never to be seen again.In 1897, the state of Michigan passed a law prohibiting the killing of passenger pigeons, but by then, no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10 years. The last confirmed wild pigeon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County, Ohio, in 1900. For a time, a few birds survived under human care. The last of them, known affectionately as Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden on September 1, 1914.28. In the 18th and early 19th centuries, passenger pigeons________.A. were the biggest bird in the worldB. lived mainly in the south of AmericaC. did great harm to the natural environmentD. were the largest bird population in the US29. The underlined word “undoing” probably refers to the pigeons'________.A. escapeB. ruinC. liberationD. evolution30. What was the main reason for people to kill passenger pigeons?A. To seek pleasure.B. To save other birds.C. To make money.D. To protect crops.31. What can we infer about the law passed in Michigan?A. It was ignored by the public.B. It was declared too late.C. It was unfair.D. It was strict.DWhen different species of birds flock(聚集) together, their flight formations are determined by social dynamics both between and within species.New research from the Universities of Cambridge and Exeter reveals for the first time that, contrary to current models used to explain the movement of flocks, the differences between bird species and social relationships between individuals play a critical role in determining the dynamics of mixed-species flocks.The unified(群集) behaviour of bird flocks has puzzled scientists for hundreds of years. One naturalist from the turn of the century even suggested telepathy(心灵感应) may be involved. There have since been more logical explanations, including mathematical models that show that repeated interactions among individuals following simple rules can generate coordinated(协同的) group movements. However, these models usually rely on the assumption that individuals within groups are identical and interact independently, which may not reflect reality.Jolle Jolles, a PhD student at the University of Cambridge's Department of Zoology and author of the paper, said：“Spectacular collective behaviour can be found in a large range of animal species, and we now know that often these complex coordinated group movements may be the result of individuals following simple rules. However, rarely are the individual characteristics and social relationships within them taken into account. Our research highlights that these striking displays of group behaviour are much more complex.”By analysing high-resolution photographs of mixed flocks of rooks and jackdaws(both from the corvid family), the researchers found that rather than individuals interacting in a consistent fashion throughout the flock, interactions depended on social dynamics between the different species as well as relationships within a species.The researchers discovered that birds prefer to fly close to members of their own species, and that the larger and more dominant rooks take the lead by flying near the front of flocks. Additionally, the lifelong, monogamous(一妻一夫制的) pair bonds that are characteristic of both species seem to be reflected in flight, as birds often fly particularly close to a single, same species partner.Dr Alex Thornton, principal investigator of the Cambridge Jackdaw Project, now at the University of Exeter and author of the paper, said “Together, our findings demonstrate that to understand the structure of groups，such as bird flocks，we need to consider the characteristics and relationships of the individuals within them.”32. The underlined word “generate” means ________.A．set down B．take awayC．bring about D．give up33．According to Jolle Jolles, what are seldom considered about coordinated group movement?A．Individual characteristics and social relationship between them.B．Repeated interactions among individuals and social dynamics.C．Telepathy and social relationship between them.D．The structure of groups and the varieties of species.34．Birds may prefer to fly the closest to ________.A．the largest one B．the most dynamic oneC．the lifelong partner D．the friendly partner35．What is the main idea of the passage?A．How birds interact in simple rules.B．How birds of different feathers flock together.C．Why birds show preference to flocking.D．Why birds display the characteristics.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。

Along with more than 300 other seniors, I marched into the stadium on the afternoon of May 10. The audience burst into deafening cheers. The huge stadium shook with all the whistling and clapping.It was as if a Hollywood superstar had walked on stage. And indeed, every single senior that day was a star of the moment. Each deserved it. The seniors had been preparing for four years for this once-in-a-lifetime moment—the commencement (graduation ceremony).Seated, I waited anxiously for the opening address. As a foreign exchange student, I was not able to receive a diploma. However, I still had the wonderful feeling of being part of things. Like the other graduates, I was dressed in marron cap and gown.Our principal, Mr. Glover, delivered a short, warm greeting. The US national anthem followed and then, hands on chests, a solemn Pledge of Allegiance(美国的爱国誓言). Students who had excelled academically gave farewell speeches. The tears in some eyes convinced me that many had deep feelings about the occasion. It was as the class motto says, “Life brings us tears, smiles and memories. The tears dry; the smil es fade; but the memories last forever.”Then came the core (the most important part) of the commencement. Hundreds of names were announced. Each graduate walked across the stage to receive his or her diploma from the principal. From the different cheers each graduate got, we had the funny sense that it was a kind of competition of who could cheer the loudest.To be honest, the presentation of diplomas got boring. A girl sitting next to me even started yawning. But it wasn‟t boring for those receiving the d iploma: they would treasure the moment the principal placed the sacred brown document in their hands for the rest of their lives.A new page in the book of that person‟s life had turned. They were glimpsing their futures: futures of challenge, hardship, perhaps loneliness too, which would take all of their courage.21. What‟s the article mainly about?A. An American high school‟s graduation ceremony.B. The opening ceremony of a sports meeting.C. A presentation of college diplomas.D. A US college‟s farewe ll party.22. Which of the following statements about the author is FALSE?A. She was one of the graduates.B. She was a foreign exchange student.C. She was excited to receive her diploma.D. She felt it great to be at the ceremony.23. The right order of the following events is______.a. Diplomas were presented to graduates.b. Students gave farewell speeches.c. The US national anthem was played.d. The principal gave a short, warm speech.e. Seniors went into the stadium.A. b,c,a,d,eB. c,d,b,e,aC. d,b,e,a,cD. e,d,c,b,a24. From the text, we can conclude that_______.A. a diploma ensures a good jobB. a diploma guarantees a bright futureC. the commencement symbolizes the beginning of a new stage in lifeD. everyone felt excited at the presentation of the diplomaBThe secrets of happiness all lie in your Operating System. The trouble is that we get blinded by our Operating System. This is because our Operating System attempts to fit what‟s happening around us into our Operating System‟s expectations. Anything different is resisted as much as it can be.So your Operation System is always going to be riddled with flaws(缺点) and errors. It‟s in it‟s nature. This is where all progress and evolution comes from . Every flaw and bug you discover and fix in the Operating System is another leap forward in the quality of your life.The evolution of society comes from the fact that each generation rebels against the previous one. And so each generation discovers a flaw and caused an upgrade in our cultural Operating System.The established order in every field and every area of life will find itself challenged. And over time more and more flaws will be discovered about what we previously believed to be facts. This is how life progresses and advances.Now every day across the world there are hundreds of instances where people are making new discoveries and overturning old beliefs. This is the process of life.If you want something that you don‟t have ---it‟s your Op erating system that is blocking it off to you. This means you have to identify the flaw in your Operating System that is blocking you from having what you want. Then you transform the structure of your Operating System to let it in.Opportunities are around you all the time. There is never a boat that you must catch. There is another boarding all the time. It is only the fact that you aren‟t seeing the opportunities that stops you from getting what you want.Upgrading your Operating System is training it to show you the opportunities all around you. And then life is like picking fruit from a tree.25. According to the passage, our Operating System ______.A. resists valuable things as more as possibleB. neglects everything that happens around usC. always attempts to meet its expectationsD. is not essential to our happiness sometimes26. The underlined part “be riddled with” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by ______.A. be opposed toB. be free fromC. be friends withD. be full of27. If you want to improve the quality of your life, you should _______.A. avoid mistakes in your everyday lifeB. discover flaws in your Operating SystemC. take all the information around youD. take a suspecting attitude towards life28. According to the author, our society progresses because _____.A. the young approve of what their ancestors didB. younger generations put the wrong things rightC. computers have undated the old Operating SystemD. old computers are constantly replaced by new onesCYou never see them, but they‟re with you every time you fly. They record where you are going, how fast you‟re traveling and whether everything on your airplane is functioning normally. Their ability to withstand almost any disaster makes them seem like something out of a comic book. They‟re known as the black box.When planes fall from the sky, as a Yemeni airliner did on its way to Comoros Islands in the India ocean on June 30, 2009, the black box is the best bet for identifying what went wrong. So when a French Submarine(潜水艇) detected the device‟s homing signal five days later, the discovery marked a huge toward determining the cause of a tragedy in which 152 passengers were killed.In 1958, Australian scientist David Warren developed a flight-memory recorder that would track basic information like altitude and direction. That was the first mode for a black box, which became a requirement on all U.S. commercial flights by 1960. Early models often failed to withstand crashes, however, so in 1965 the device was completely redesigned and moved to the rear of the plane ---the area least subject to impact --- from its original position in the landing wells(起落架舱). The same year, the Federal Aviation Authority required that the boxes, which were never actually black, be painted orange or yellow to aid visibility.Modern airplanes have two black boxes: a voice recorder, which tracks pilots‟ conversations, and a flight-data recorder, which monitors fuel levels, engine noises and other operating functions that help investigators reconstruct the aircraft‟s final moments. Placed in an insulated(隔绝的) case and surrounded by a quarter-inch-thick panels of stainless steel, the boxes can withstand massive force and temperature up to 20,000 ft. Experts believe the boxes from Air France Flight 447, which crashed near Brazil on June 1, 2009, are in water nearly that deep, but statistics say they‟re still likely to turn up. In the approximately 20 deep-sea crashes over the past 30 years, only one plane‟s black boxes were never recovered.29. In paragraph 1, the author wants say the black box ______.A. is an necessary device on an airplaneB. comes from a comic bookC. can prevent disasterD. can control the function of an airplane30. Why was the black box redesigned in 1965?A. New materials became available by that timeB. The early models often got damaged in the crashC. Too much space was needed for its deviceD. The early models didn‟t provide the needed data.31. The black boxes were painted orange or yellow to ______.A. distinguish them from the color of the planeB. warn people to handle them with careC. make them easily identifiedD. obey the international standards32. What do we know about the black boxes from Air France Flight 447?A. There is still a good chance of their being recoveredB. There is an urgent need for them to be reconstructedC. They have stopped sending homing signalsD. They were destroyed somewhere near BrazilDHilary Smith belonged to a good family. But by the age of twenty, he had spent all the money the good old family had. He then had some trouble with the bank and was put in prison. He escaped from the prison and ran to Australia without delay.Hilary did not like Australia and Australia did not like Hilary. What he could do seemed to be one of two things: die or work. Then he remembered that he was not alone in the world. He had an aunt.She was his father‟s only sister, but his f ather used to say she brought no glory to the family. Hilary, of course, tired to discover what she had done. It seemed that she had failed to marry a nobleman. Instead, she had chosen a husband who was connected with “trade”. Of course as soon as she became “Mrs. Parks”, her brother considered her dead. Later on, Mr. Parks died and left her a lot of money; but that did not bring her back to life in her brother‟s opinion.Hilary discovered his aunt‟s address. Fortunately she remained faithful and honest to him even after she fell ill. So Hilary‟s star shone again, and soon he moved into her house and lived as comfortably as a sailor who had just reached harbor. He had only about a sixpence in his pocket.One thing was soon clear: his aunt was seriously ill, and nothing could cure her illness. Hilary was very worried. Fate had found a home for him, and was now going to throw out of it. There was only one thing that could save him: her will.“Will?” she said, “yes, I have made one. That was when I was a girl and had not much money. I left all my money to some religious people.”“Didn‟t you make another will when you were married?” Hilary asked.His aunt shook her head. “No,” she said in a low voice. “There was no need.When I finally had a lot of money I found I had no relations.”On the next day he went to the public library and examined a book of law. It told him what he already believed. When a woman is married, an earlier will loses its value.A new will must be made. If no new will is made, the money goes to the nearest relation. Hilary knew that he was his aunt‟s only relation. His future was safe.After a few months had passed, Hilary‟s problems became serious. He badly needed money. He had expensive tastes, and owed a lot of money to shopkeepers. They trusted him because his aunt was rich; but the debt was terrible.Unfortunately his aunt did not want to discuss money matters at all. In the end they had a quarrel about the small amount of ten pounds. Hilary was not very angry. He began to wonder about a new problem. Was it kind to want his aunt to live any longer? Was it not better for her to die now? While he was considering what to do, his aunt told him that she was going to send for her lawyer. So she was going to make a new will, Hilary thought. She might leave all her money to someone else. Soon he reached a clear conclusion. He must do a great kindness to the poor old woman.One night when the old servant who had been nursing his aunt went off, he doubled the amount of some medicine. The total amount was too great and it could just put her to sleep forever.“Thank you,” his aunt took the glass from his hand with a grateful look. “I want, more than anything, to sleep, and never to wake up again. Is that what you wish, Hilary? Don‟t blame me if I have some doubts about what you intended to do. Sick people get these ideas, you know. One thing I ought to explain to you. Mr. Parks never married me. He already had a wife and couldn‟t marry again. That made your foolish father very angry with me. Well, if I am alive tomorrow I shall make another will in your favor. If I die tonight, you will get nothing. No, Hilary, don‟t try to take the glass away. If you do that, I shall know; and I don‟t want to know. Good night, Hilary.Then, very carefully, she raised the glass to her mouth and drank.33. From the story, we learn that Hilary‟s aunt was ______.A. bad-tempered and lonelyB. kind-hearted and wiseC. careless about moneyD. Cruel to her niece34. The underlined sentence “He must do a great kindness to the poor old woman.” In paragraph 11 suggests that Hilary Smith ______.A. was determined to put his aunt‟s life to an endB. decide to do his aunt a favor to call in a lawyerC. made up his mind to take good care of his auntD. would help his aunt to donate all her money to religious people35. Which of the following is the focus of the story?A. Hilary‟s aunt‟s moneyB. Hilary Smith‟s debtsC. The intended murderD. Hilary‟s aunt‟s marriage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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

"I was a little annoyed．I helped them in their fume of need and didn't get a second thought．I have not responded to her text message．Is it fair of me to consider this friendship over?

we finally have some convincing evidence．For their study, biologist Corson Miller and his team exposés eleven selected dogs to digital images of women that were either angry or pappy．Half the dogs were rewired for touching the screen when shove a happy face, while the other half gilt their treat for selecting those that appeared angry．Interestingly, the dogs were not provided with the entire face．Some dogs were show Ti only upper halves while the others observed lower halves．That's because the scientists believe humans show their eruptions on their equities face．After some training ill．e how to recognize small differences like the wrinkles between the eyes or the changes in their shape that accompany the happy or angry expressions, the dogs were mostly able to identify the correct expression not only on a familiar face but on a strange face, the researchers concluded the dogs were smart-enough to read human emotions．They also found those being trained to．read angry expressions took a’ longer tune to lean．They guess it may be because dogs find angry faces disgusting, causing them to withdraw quickly．However, once the smart dogs realized they were getting rewired, the trepidation seem．end 'to disappear．In fact, the dogs had such a good time playing the computer "game" Thatscientists had a hard tune keeping them away from the touch screens after the study was completed．The researchers also noticed only dogs with a male owner had a harder time understanding the expressions correctly．Since the touches．careen models were all females, this confirmed what has been observed in previous studies-dogs are more efficient．at reading facial expressions of people that are the serene gender as their owner．29．How did the scientists conduct the experiment?A．By leaving dogs to women who．are either happy or angry．B．By mixing the selected dogs together．C．By rewarding only half of the dogs touching the screen．D．By showing digital pictures of women's happy or angry faces．30．Which of the following statements is TRUE?A．The dogs were not all provided with the entire face,B．According to their size, the dogs were given either upper or lower halves．C．The dogs．could read even small changes that accountancy facial expressions after some training．D．The dogs couldn't read strangers facial emotions．31．The underlined word "trepidation" in Paragraph 5 probably means .A．horror B．curiosity C．excitement D．doubt 32．How might the results change if the dogs with female owners are shown pictures of male faces?A．They could only tell commotions on partial faces rather than on entire face's．B．They found it hard to tell the moods on the faces of a different gender．C．They found it easy to tell the emotions on the entire -face．D．They would be scared away at the sight of the pictures．DRoom for Rent by East Jefferson Hospital in MetairieRoom for rent for $ 500．00 per month and $500．00 damage deposit, You will have use of the refrigerator （I have two:）and the washer and dryer and the kitchen and the in-ground swimming pool．There is’ a one-year rental agreement but can be changed to a month-to-month after six months with a 30-day notice．There is parking in front of the house which is on a slot dead end street,．You can contactby phone at 5044551499 0r you can email me at marrt/n286@aol com．My name is Jerry．LOW'PRICE : 2 bedrooms for rent $499 with furniture9 swimming poolAny student attending university during the spring 2014 who wants to live on campus in a safe, gated community at a discounted rate: please respond．2 bedrooms/ 2 bathrooms / 1 living room．If a student is ir．retested in renting both rooms, the rate will be $479 per room, instead of- $499 （water all included）．The original amount for the rent is $599, and with our discounted rate （less $100．00 a month）it is an affordable way to engage in on-campus life．Located near the swimming pool, public barbecue pit and laundry room．Ruminates arc great, very friendly and trustworthy, Phone: 5049948139 Email: jguol@ Located:2000 Lakeshore Drive, UNO campus Roommate WantedI live in an apartment with 2 bedrooms and l bathroom: on Lake Pontcbartrain surrounded bybreath-taking scenery．The rent is $17000 per month and electric runs around $12．0．I am 27 years old and my husband is currently sending in Afghanistan．I am looking．for a roommate to share rent and electric: woodlot $．550 per month．If interested, contact me at 9856074708．Text or call．My name is Ash icy．Roommate Wanted in SlidellRoommate wanted for a 5-bedroom house in great location.
