AI went to the Tsavo National Park in northern Kenya for a film. We set off early for a distant water hole. A huge elephant covered with dry mud, drank calmly and deeply. He might have traveled 50 km to reach the water. He wasn’t going to hurry now. He’d drink a while and rest in the shade, and then drink again or so we thought. What actually happened was that he drank deeply and stepped away. Then he suddenly fell down. Within minutes he was dead.We called animal doctor Jeremiah Poghon immediately. He removed the head of a poisoned arrow from the elephant’s body, and let out over 100 liters of pus (胺)－the result of the elephant’s meeting with a poacher（偷猎者）months before.Today's poacher shoots from a blind. He fires an arrow, covered with poison, into the body of an elephant. If the poacher is lucky, the elephant might die in an hour or two; if not, he might have to follow the elephant for days before it dies. Often the arrow head fails to kill the elephant at once－it doesn't mean the poison won't finally kill the elephant, but it will be a slow death.Living in Tsavo through these times, I could see the results of poaching from time to time. When I think about the death of that elephant, what stays with me is the extraordinary silence aft er the shocking sound of his body hitting the ground. I took some comfort from the knowledge that as the dead body returned to the soil, some animals would benefit－but I couldn't escape the feeling that with the death of such a large animal, the world seemed to be a poorer and emptier place.21. While filming near the water hole, the author and his team ________.A. knew the elephant was injuredB. found the elephant acted violentlyC. tried their best to save the elephantD. thought the elephant was in good condition22. Further examination showed that the dead elephant________.A. had suffered an hour or twoB. was killed by a poisonous needleC. had suffered a lotD. had had a good fight with a poacher23. How does the author feel when thinking about the elephant s death?A. empty.B. comfortable.C. upset.D. relieved.24. Why did the author write the text?A. To introduce African elephant.B. To show the cruelty of poaching.C. To describe his filming experience.D. To ask readers to protect wild animals.BWinter begins in the north on December 22nd. People and animals have been doing what they always do to prepare for the cold months. Squirrels, for example, have been busy gathering nuts from trees. Well, scientists have been busy gathering information about what the squirrels do with the food they collect.They examined differences between red squirrels and gray squirrels in the American state of Indiana. The scientists wanted to know how these differences could affect the growth of black walnut trees. The black walnut is the nut of choice for both kinds of squirrels. The black walnut tree is also a central part of some hardwood forests.Rob Swihart of Purdue University did the study with Jake Goheen, a former Purdue student now at the University of New Mexico. The two researchers estimate that several times as many walnuts grow when gathered by gray squirrels as compared to red squirrels. Gray squirrels and red squirrels do not store nuts and seeds in the same way. Gray squirrels bury nuts one at a time in a number of places. But they seldom remember where they buried every nut. So some nuts remain in the ground. Conditions are right for them to develop and grow in the following spring. Red squirrels, however, store large groups of nuts above ground. Professor Swihart calls “death traps for seeds”.Gray squirrels are native to Indiana. But Professor Swihart says their numbers began to decrease as more forests were cut for agriculture. Red squirrels began to spread through the state during the past century.The researchers say red squirrels are native to forests that stay green all year, unlike walnut trees. They say the cleaning of forest land for agriculture has helped red squirrels invade Indiana. Jake Goheen calls them a sign of an environmental problem more than a cause.25.The study done by Rob Swihart and Jake Goheen is to ________.A. find out the living conditions for squirrelsB. do something to get rid of squirrelsC. learn squirrels’ influence on black walnut treesD. save the forests in the American state of Indiana26.The difference between gray squirrels and red squirrels mainly lies in ________.A. the way they gather the walnutB. the place they store the walnutsC. the number of the nuts they can collectD. the fact that the gray squirrels have a bad memory27.When Professor Swihart says “death traps for seeds”, he actually means that ________.河南教考资源信息网 版权所有·侵权必究A. nuts above the ground will not develop into plantsB. red squirrels eat more nuts than gray squirrelsC. gray squirrels and red squirrels will have severe fightsD. seeds can be traps for other animals in the forest28.According to the passage, which of the following is true?A. Gray squirrels do more harm to the forest than red squirrels.B. Red squirrels and gray squirrels have helped the spread of walnut trees.C. The cleaning of forest land benefits gray squirrels directly.D. Human beings should bear some responsibility for the decreasing number of graysquirrels.CLa Gomera is the only place in the world that has a whistle language. We do not know how and why it began because we do not know the complete history of the island. But we can certainly imagine the reasons for the beginning of the whistle language. There are many deep valleys on the island. A person on one side of a valley can not easily shout to a person on the other side. But he can whistle and be heard. Some of the best whistlers can be heard from four miles away and the record is seven miles.The people who live on the island usually have good teeth, and this helps them to whistle well. They must also have good ears so that they can hear other whistlers.We can understand why the whistle language continues. It is very useful on the island, and quite easy to learn. When somebody is hurt or ill, the whistle language takes the place of telephone. If the sick person is quite far away from the town, people pass the message from one to another. A boy guarding cattle on a hillside whistles to a man fishing from his boat. The last one is able to describe the trouble fully and exactly to the doctor in town. People help one another in the same way when a car breaks down or a cow is lost.The whistle language is hundreds of years old, and probably it will continue to live on for hundreds of years more. Radio and TV often kill the special ways of s peaking in different parts of a country. But on La Gomera you are nobody if you cannot whistle. Perhaps soon after TV arrives on the island, people there will be whistling the news and other facts and opinions.29. If a person on La Gomera is ill, ______.A. the whistle language will help pass the message to the doctorB. people will take him to town by carriageC. his family will take him to the hospitalD. others will phone the doctor in town30. La Gomera is special because ______.A. we don’t know its complete historyB. people have to shout if they want to communicateC. people there have good teeth and earsD. people there use the whistle language to communicate with each other31. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The whistle language has been used for hundreds of years on the island, but will notbe used any longer.B. The whistle language can only be found on La Gomera.C. It is not easy for a person to live on La Gomera if he cannot whistle.D. The record shows that one best whistler can be heard by others from seven miles away.32. Which of the following will be the best title of this passage?A. The Secret LanguageB. Do You Know the Whistle Language?C. The Life of IslandersD. La Gomera－a MysteryDImagine being given the opportunity to wake up to lions, eat your meals with monkeys, and even share your bath with bears, all from the comfort of a unique new lodging experience.The Jamala Wildlife Lodge opened its doors in January 2015, which was set up in an effort to educate visitors about aiding the survival of many of the world's endangered species.“It’s great for the animals; they're go ing to get more space.

河南省顶级名校2015届高三年级入学定位考试英语试卷及答案
河南省顶级名校2015届高三年级入学定位考试英语试卷第一部分阅读理解（20*2=40）ASince the 1970s, scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computers. Brain-computer interface(BCI) technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines.Recently, two researchers, Jose Milan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic school in Lausanne, Switzerland, demonstrated a small robotic wheelchair directed by a person’s thoughts.In the laboratory, Tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right band. He could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts.“Our brain has billions of nerve cells. These send signals through the spinal cord （脊髓）to the muscles to give us the ability to move. But spinal cord injuries or other conditions can prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles,” Tavella says. “Our system allows disabled people to communicate with external world and also to control devices.”The researchers designed a special cap for the user. This head cover picks up the signals from the scalp(头皮) and sends them to a computer. The computer interprets the signals and commands the motorized wheelchair. The wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path. They help the computer react to commands from the brain.Prof. Milan, the team leader, says scientists keep improving the computer software that interprets brain signals and tur ns them into simple commands. “The practical possibilities that BCI technology offers to disabled people can be grouped in two categories: communication, and controlling devices. One example is this wheelchair.”He says his team has set two goals. One is testing with real patients, so as to prove that this is a technology they can benefit from. And the other is to guarantee that they can use the technology over long periods of time.1. BCI is a technology that can ________.A. help to update computer systemsB. link the human brain with computersC. help the disabled to recoverD. control a person's thoughts2. How" did Tavella operate the wheelchair in the laboratory?A. By controlling his muscles.B. By talking to the machine.C. By moving his hand.D. By using his mind.3.Which of the following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 5?A. scalp→computer→cap→wheelchairB. computer→cap→scalp→wh eelchairC. scalp→cap→computer→wheelchairD. cap→computer→scalp→wheelchair4.The team will test with real patients to ________.A. make profits from themB. prove the technology useful to themC. make them live longerD. learn about their physical condition5.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Switzerland, the BCI Research CenterB. New Findings About How the Human Brain WorksC. BCI Could Mean More Freedom for the DisabledD. Robotic Vehicles Could Help to Cure Brain InjuriesBIn the fall of 1985, I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer.I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopted and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic---and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8. Our home was a complete zoo---a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant taking as few as one class each semester.The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree！I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when you’re looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you’re in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won’t arrive in your life on one day. It’s a process. Remember: little steps add up to big dreams.6.

Actually, the past decade has seen more and more forests disappearing and the globe becoming increasingly warm. People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed, and that we must be able to develop in sustainable ways. That means growth with low carbon or development of sustainable products. In other words, we should keep the healthy while using its supply of natural resources.Today, sustainable development is a popular trend in many countries. According to a recent study, the global market for low-carbon energy will become three times bigger over the next decade. China, for example, has set its mind on leading that market, hoping to seize chances in the new round of the global energy resolution. It is now trying hard to made full use of wind and solar energy, and is spending a huge amount of money making electric cars and high-speed trains. In addition, we are also seeing great growth in the global markets for sustainable products such as palm oil(棕榈油), which is produced without cutting down valuable rainforest. In recent years the markets for sustainable products have grown more than 50%.Governments can fully develop the potential of these new markets. First, they can set high targets for reducing carbon emissions(排放) and targets for saving and reusing energy. Besides, stronger arrangement of public resources like forests can also help to speed up the development. Finally, governments can avoid the huge public expenses that are taking us in the wrong direction, and redirecting some of those expenses can accelerate the change from the traditional model to a sustainable one.The major challenge of this century is to find ways to meet the needs of a growing population within the limits of this single planet. That is no small task, but it offers abundant new chances for sustainable product industries.16. The traditional business model is harmful because of all the following EXCEPT that____.A. it makes the world warmerB. it consumes natural resourcesC. it brings severe damage to futureD. it makes growth hard to continue17. What can we infer from Paragraph2?A. China lacks wind and solar energy.B. China is the leader of the low-carbon market.C. High-speed trains are a low-carbon development.D. Palm oil is made at the cost of valuable forests.18. To fully develop the low-carbon markets governments can______.A. cut public expensesB. forbid carbon emissionsC. develop public resourcesD. encourage energy conservation19. We can learn from the last paragraph that businesses have many chances to _______.A. develop sustainable productsB. explore new natural resourcesC. make full use of natural resourcesD. deal with the major challenge20. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To introduce a new business modelB. To compare two business modelsC.To predict a change of the global marketsD. To advocate sustainable development第二部分完形填空（35*2=70）AI met Mrs. Neidl in the ninth grade on a stage-design team for a play and she was one of the directors. Almost instantly I loved her.

She wanted to know how I thought we should 23 things. At first I had no idea how to answer because I knew 24 about stage design! But I slowly began to respond to her 25 . It was cause and effect: She believed I had opinions, so I began to 26 them. She trusted me to complete things, so I completed them perfectly. She loved how 27 I was, so I began to show up to paint more and more. She believed in me, so I began to believe in myself.Mrs. Neidl's 28 that year was, "Try it. We can always paint over it 29 !"I began to take 30 . I had been so afraid of failing but suddenly there was no failing-----only things to be 31 upon. I learned to dip my brush into the paint and 32 create something.The shy, quiet freshman achieved success that year. I was 33 in the program as "Student Art Assistant" because of the time and effort I'd put in. It was that year that I 34 I wanted to spend the rest of my life doing stage design.Being on that stage-design team 35 Mrs. Neidl changed me completely. Not only was I stronger and more competent than I had thought, but I also 36 a strong interest and a world I hadn't known existed. She taught me not to 37 what people think I should do: She taught me to take chances and not be 38 . Mrs. Neidl was my comforter when I was upset.

A. accessible B. enjoyable C. possible D. favorableBEveryone in business has been told that success is all about attracting and retaining (留住) customers. It sounds simple and achievable. But, 41 , words of wisdom are soon forgotten. Once companies have attracted customers they often 42 the second half of the story. In the excitement of beating off the competition, negotiating prices, securing orders, and delivering the product, managers tend to become carried away. They forget what they regard as the boring side of business—43 that the customer remains a customer.44 to concentrate on retaining as well as attracting customers costs business huge amounts of money annually. It has been estimated that the average company loses between 10 and 30 per cent of its customers every years. In constantly changing 45 , this is not surprising. What is surprising is the fact that few companies have any idea how many customers they have lost.Only now are organizations beginning to wake up to those lost opportunities and calculate the 46 implications. Cutting down the number of customers a company loses can make a big 47 in its performance. Research in the US found that a five per cent decrease in the number of defecting (流失的) customers led to 48 increases of between 25 and 85 per cent.I n the US, Domino’s Pizza estimates that a regular customer is worth more than $5,000 over ten years. A customer who receives a poor quality product or service on their first visit and 49 never returns, is losing the company thousands of dollars in 50 profits (more if you consider how many people they are likely to tell about their bad experience).The logic behind cultivating customer 51 is impossible to deny. “In practice most companies’ marketing effort is focused on getting customers, with li ttle attention paid to 52 them”, says Adrian Payne of Cornfield University’ School of Management. “Research suggests that there is a close relationship between retaining customers and making profits.53 customers tend to buy more, are predictable and usually cost less to service than new customers. Furthermore, they tend to be less price 54 , and may provide free word-of-mouth advertising. Retaining customers also makes it 55 for competitors to enter a market or increase their share of a market.41. A. in particular B. in reality C. at least D. first of all42.A. emphasize B. doubt C. overlook D. believe43.A. denying B. ensuring C. arguing D. proving44.A. Moving B. Hoping C. Starting D.

But in the executive(主管的) circle, (56)________ can become a disadvantage.While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is (57)________(harm) to a woman. Handsome male executives are considered to have more honesty than plainer men; effort and ability usually lead (58)________ their success. Attractive female executives are considered to have less honesty than unattractive (59)________ ; people do not connect their success with ability (60)________ with factors such as luck. All unattractive women executives are thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. However, interestingly, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes (61)________ (connect) more to personal relationships and less to ability.Attractive women are not thought to be able. This is true even in politics. Anne Bowman, a writer, (62)________ recently made a study, asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in the order of attractiveness. And then the students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote (63)________them. The results showed that attractive males (64)________(complete) defeated unattractive men, but the women (65)________ (rank) most attractive by the students unchangeably received the fewest votes.B“Put yourself in someone else's shoes.” is (66)________idiom that means if you imagine yourself to be in another person's position, good or bad, you may understand how they feel, good or bad, or why they have done (67)________ they've done.This idiom comes from the fact (68)________ a pair of perfectly fitting shoes for someone may not fit another person as perfectly. So, literally, only if you put (69)________ another person's shoes can you feel how it is to walk in(70)________．Metaphorically speaking, “their shoes” stands for other people's position. A local boy is detained(扣留) by the police(71)________ a theft, and one of his friends might (72)________ (private) say to himself: “I wouldn't want to be in his shoes now.” That is, he doesn't want(73)________ (put) into prison for stealing.By trying to “put on their shoes”, we try to imagine ourselves in(74)________ situation, by seeing things from their point of view, by thinking about how we would want to be treated if we were them.Harper Lee, of course, (75)________(express) this idea best in To Kill a Mockingbird: “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view—until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.”答题卷班级_____________ 姓名_____________ 编号____________ 分数___________56__________ 57__________ 58__________ 59__________ 60__________61__________ 62__________ 63__________ 64__________ 65__________66__________ 67__________ 68__________ 69__________ 70__________71__________ 72__________ 73__________ 74__________ 75__________第四部分短文改错（20*1=20）AOnce, a man got on a bus to New York. Because he did not want to pay, so he hid in the toilet. But a passenger saw her. She tapped the person in front of her on the shoulder and say, “There’s a bum in toilet. Tell the bus driver.” The message was passing on from person to person. But somewhere along the way, it was changed. The bus driver told that there was a bomb in the toilet. He immediate stopped the bus and telephoned the police. When the police came, they told the passengers to get off the bus or stay far away. Then they closed the highway. As a result, a traffic jam of 15 mile long was soon caused. In the help of a dog, the police searched for two hours. Of course they found no tomb.BOne day Rosa wrote to her friend, who was a doctor, invite him to have dinner with her families. A few days later the doctor wrote back to her but she couldn’t read his writing because the letters were written careless. Then she asked her husband for the help, but he couldn’t read it, too. Then her hus band got an idea. He told her that a chemist might be able read the doctor’s letter. So the woman went to chemist’s. The chemist in the shop studied the letter for a long time but he gave her a large bottle of medicine. He told the woman she would eat twelve pills a day. Finally Rosa still had no idea whether her friend will come or not.。

When he was a boy, he became interested in mending watches and machines. When he was 12, his mother died. Soon he had to work in a machine shop for two dollars and fifty cents a week. The hard life made him strong and able. At that time there was another interest in the life of the young Ford. He dreamed to make a machine that could run with out a ho rse. So it was named "a horseless carriage". He overcame a lot of difficulti es and in April, 1893, the "horseless carriage" was finally finished, which was the first car. Later Henry Ford founded the Ford Motor Company. He was really the first inventor of the car in the world.2014—2015学年度高三第二次大练习英语参考答案听力：1-5 CCABC 6-10 CBCAB 11-15 CACBA 16-20 CABBA阅读理解：21-23 BAB 24-27 DDCA 28-31 BCAD 32-35 BCDA 36-40 DEAGC完形填空：41-45 CBABA 46-50 DCCAB 51-55 ABACB 56-60 BCDDA语法填空：61. on/in 62. known 63. making 64. the 65. reasons 66. looks67. which 68. to sit 69. be sent 70. easily短文改错:Dear Peter,I’m writing to ask whether you are able to do me∧ favor.aI want to have a pen friend, hopefully a girl in the early twenties, and with interests similarly toher similar mine.

ATime magazine once reported a story about a woman in rural（乡村）who was recovering from a long illness. She enjoyed sitting in the yard in her wheelchair and, on this day, she was watching her son work under his car. He had raised it on blocks of wood and removed the wheels.Suddenly, the car fell on top of the boy! She screamed for her husband who ran to assist, but he could not move the car. He climbed into his own car and sped off for help.The mother could hear that her son’s groans （呻吟）were growing weaker and she knew she must do something. But how? She hadn’t walked in months. Then, she realized that her son was dying before her eyes and that she was the only one to help.She raised herself shakily to her feet and walked unsteadily to the car. With all her amazing strength, she tried to lift the car. The car was raised a few inches, just enough to let the boy move free. Then she became unconscious.After an examination, she was found only to have suffered strained muscles （肌肉拉伤）. But the doctor was amazed, “I will always wonder,” he said, “how far she might have lifted that car if she had been well and strong!”Call it a miracle. This mother found what she needed to face the situation. And so it is with all of us. You have strength to overcome seemingly impossible challenges ahead. You may feel weak or unable to deal with these challenges, but you have been designed with enough power to defeat those difficulties.Call it what you will. I call it hope.21. What happened on this day?A. The mother was watching her son playing under a car when the accident occurred.B. The father was driving his car and hit his son by accident.C. The mother’s son was changing his car whe els when the car fell on his body.D. The father couldn’t help his son and drove to ask a doctor for help.22. What's the meaning of the underlined sentence?A. The doctor was amazed at how powerful a mother’s love was.B. The doctor believed that the mother had recovered her health and was well and strong.C. The doctor didn’t believe it’s the mother who saved her son.D. The doctor believed his treatments had made the mother become strong.23. W hat’s the best title of the passage?A. A great motherB. An urgent rescueC. Emergency inspires one’s potentialD. A friend in need is a friend indeedBWitness A: I was standing at the bus stop opposite the gas station on Route 300, a four—lane road. That had always been a dangerous area, but it’s safer now because they recently put in traffic signals. There were two vehicles on the road approaching the signal. One was a small farm truck and the other a brand—new sports car. It was getting dark but the heavy rain had just stopped and there were no other cars around. Anyway, the truck and the sports car were driving side by side when the car started to swerve from side to side. I think the truck may have moved slightly to stay away from the car, but I’m not sure —I couldn’t take my eyes off the car. The signal was red, but instead of slowing down, the car sped ahead rapidly. The driver was going to go through the intersection when the light was red! And that’s when a van（小型货车）suddenly came into the intersection from the far side. It looked like they were going to hit, but they both turned away from each other at the last second and avoided a crash. But then the back door of the van opened up and hundreds of soccer balls spilled out.Witness B: I was walking on the side road toward Route 300 — coming to the intersection. I noticed that they had put up signals near the service station. This should help make the intersection safer. Suddenly, a van came up from behind me. It was strange — I could see inside the van and it was full of soccer balls! I had never seen anything like that before. Anyway, as the van was approaching the signal, the light turned from green to yellow. But the driver went faster when he should have slowed down — he drove into the intersection where he almost hit a sports car. It was so lucky — the man was able to turn to the right and miss the car. I think the sports car turned too. Fortunately, there was no accident, but there were soccer bails all over the place.24. Based on what one of the witnesses said, we can assume it was ________.A. early in the morning and there were few carsB. evening and the road was wetC. late afternoon and Route 300 was full of carsD. late at night and it was slippery25. Witness A is not really certain about ________.A. whether it had been raining heavily or notB. whether or not the light is redC. whether the truck tried to avoid the sports carD. which direction the van came from26. Witness A probably thinks that there was almost an accident because of _________.A. the new traffic signals at the intersectionB. the sports car ignoring the traffic signalC. the truck moving to avoid the sports carD. the van going too fast for the area27. Witness B probably thinks that there was almost an accident because of ________.A. the sports car speeding through the intersectionB. the traffic signals that were put up recentlyC. the truck turning away from the sports carD. the van driver driving dangerouslyCSeptember 30, 2011Skunk Scooters（滑板车）100 Caldwell StreetOmaha, NE 68102To Whom It May Concern.On August 27, 2011, I ordered a Skunk Scooter from your website. I was very excited when the motorcycle arrived because I bought it with the money I saved from doing part—time jobs over the summer vacation. Unfortunately, I have experienced several problems with my Skunk Scooter.First of all, the front wheel always shakes from side to side, making the scooter difficult to control. Also, it makes an unpleasant sound as the wheel works. The sound is much louder than a car engine. The instructions say we should tighten the screws（螺丝）. My mom and I did that. However, it did not help at all.In addition, something is wrong with the handlebars（把手）. According to your website, they can be easily raised to a height of thirty—six inches. This does not seem to be true of the Skunk Scooter I received. The handlebars are set at thirty inches, and they cannot be raised or lowered. It appears that the knob（球形把手）that is used to change the height is pushed into the handlebars, which makes it impossible to turn in either direction. It is extremely uncomfortable to ride the motorbike with its handlebars in such a low position.Although you advertised the Skunk Scooter as “the quickest, coolest scooter on the planet,” it makes me feel very disgruntled. I am expecting that the repair of the scooter would be done at the earliest or else I want my money back. I know that you would not want customers to keep broken products. Therefore, I would like to thank you in advance for taking the trouble to solve the problem.Sincerely,Natasha Greene28. The text is probably written by a ________.A. repairmanB. shopkeeperC. studentD. salesgirl29. What’s wrong with the front wheel of the scooter?A. Several screws on it are missing.B. It is not as big as the website says.C. It keeps shaking and makes a noise.D. It cannot turn as fast as the back one.30. The underlined word “disgruntled” in the text probably means “_________”.A. excitedB. confusedC. proudD. dissatisfied31. Natasha wrote the letter mainly to ________.A. demand after—sales serviceB. send her congratulationsC. express thankfulnessD. make an apologyDMagnet and Sticky: A Study on State—to—State Migration（移居）in the USSome people live their whole lives near their places of birth, while others move elsewhere. A study conducted by the Pew Research Center looked into the state—to—state moving patterns of Americans. The study examined each state to determine how many of their citizens have moved there from other states. States with high percentages of these residents are called “magnet” states in the report. The study also investigated what percent of adults born in each state are still living there.States high in these numbers are calle d “sticky” states. The study found that some states were both magnet and sticky, while others were neither. There were also states that were only magnet or only sticky.Figures 1 and 2 show how selected states rank on magnet and sticky scales, respectively. Florida is a good example of a state that ranks high on both. Seventy percent of its current adult population was born in another state; at the same time, 66% of adults born in Florida are still living there. On the other hand, West Virginia is neither magnet（only 27%）nor particularly sticky（49%）. In other words, it has few newcomers, and relatively few West Virginians stay there. Michigan is a typical example of a state which is highly sticky, but very low magnet. In contrast, Alaska, which ranks near the top of the magnet scale, is the least sticky of all states.Three other extreme examples also appear in Figures 1 and 2. The first is Nevada, where the high proportion of adult residents born out of state makes this state America’s top magnet. New York is at the opposite end of the magnet scale, even though it is attractive to immigrants from other nations. The third extreme example is Texas, at the opposite end of the sticky scale from Alaska. Although it is a fairly weak magnet, Texas is the nation’s stickiest state.The study went on to explore the reasons why “movers” leave their home states and“stayers” remain. As for movers, there is no single factor that influences their decisions to move to other states. The most common reason they gave for moving is to seek job or business opportunities. Others report moving for personal reasons: family ties, the desire to live in a good community for their children, or retirement.32.
