ACheck off the Four CornersArizona,Utah,Colorado and New Mexico are not simply the only four American states that meet at a single point,but they also host the US's greatest concentration of national parks.This is the place to come for that classic scene of the lonely desert road extending to the horizon.On your way,take in such sights as the Monument Valley and the mysterious remains of centuries-old civilizations in Colorado's Mesa Verde.Find beauty in the desertWith many miles of excellent roads,a self-drive trip in Namibia makes total sense.Plan a route north from capital Windhoek to wildlife-rich Etosha National Park,before crossing Damaraland to reach the Skeleton Coast.T he most impressive desert views are in the Namib-Naulduft National Park to the south.At Sossusvlei,the landscape takes on the quality of a surrealist(超现实的)painting.Cross half a continentThe1,761-mile-long Stuart Highway runs north to south through Australia's Red Centre.It is not a road where every turnshows new wonders;the reward of this trip comes in the gradual change in your surroundings,from red soils'in Australia's outback to the tropical(热带的) leaves of the Indian Ocean coast.Take the high roadAmong all the crashing of continental plates that raised up the Canadian Rockies,a144-mile route was left more or less clear at their center.The Icefields Parkway now passes through this amazing scenery;with the access it brings to icy lakes,waterfalls and ice fields,the section between Banff and Jasper has a good claim to being the most scenic in the world.1.Where can you experience ancient civilizations?A.In Australia's Red Centre.B.In the Canadian Rockies.C.In Colorado's Mesa Verde.D.In the Namib-Naukluft National Park.2.What can you do when driving along the Stuart Highway?A.Enjoy the impressive turns of the road.B.Explore thedangerous Red Centre.C.Appreciate the changing surroundings.D.Drive through the tropical forests.3.Which can offer you the most wonderful scenery on earth?A.Check off the Four CornersB.Find beauty in the desertC.Cross half a continentD.Take the high roadBA few years ago,my husband Charlie and I had marital problems.Growing family responsibilities and financial worries took a toll on us and we began arguing frequently,often lateinto the night.However,neither of us could take the step that would end our eleven-year marriage and bring heartbreak to our three young children.Deep down we knew we still loved each other,so we determined to work it out.Through countless discussions,we began to close the gulf.The more honest we were,the closer we became.When I felt we were reaching solid ground,I asked my husband to give me an"eternity (永恒)ring".It was not so much the ring I wanted:it was the reassurance(保证)I thought it would bring.We went shopping on a beautiful summer day.We walked hand in hand along a row of jeweller's shops.Finally I found a ring I liked.While waiting for it to be adjusted,the jeweller took my left hand and glanced at my engagement ring."May I clean it for you?"he asked."It really doesn't sparkle(闪耀)like it used to,"Charlie said,as I slipped the ring off my finger.A few minutes later the jeweller was back.The ring shone like new.On the drive home,I didn't take my eyes off it.I forgot all about the eternity ring.I just couldn't believe how this old ring suddenly sparkled the way it had the day.Charlie gave it to me.I had taken it for granted these past years,but with a little polish it could still make my heart beat fast.And that's the way it is with a marriage.You have to work at keeping it polished and new,or else the grime(污垢)of the passing years will hide the joy.I put my hand on the seat between us and spread my fingers Charlie covered my hand with his.I felt I was lucky to be able to see the sparkle in something old when I thought I needed something new.4.Why did the author and her husband decide to solve theproblems?A.They were a famous couple.B.They didn't want to divorce.C.The problems were not serious.D.They had experience in doing so.5.What does the underlined part in Paragraph3probably mean?A.free of trouble.B.arriving at a square.C.wealthy and generous.D.in good relationship.6.Why did the author forget all about the eternity ring on their way back home?A.Her husband kept it for her.B.They didn't actually pay for it.C.The old ring's light attracted her attention.D.The couple were talking all the way merrily.7.What does the author mainly want to express in the last paragraph?A.We tend to prefer new objects to old ones.B.One should remain thankful for what he has got.C.Marriage should be constantly polished and refreshed.D.We should try to rediscover the true value of old objects.CThe700or so residents of a fishing village and the rest of an island in the middle of Chesapeake Bay may turn out to be the first citizens of the continental United States to experience rising seas,concludes a report by oceanographer David M.Schulte and two fellow scientists with the U.S.Army Corps of Engineers.The study involved Tangier Island and its nearby,smallerislands,the last inhabited islands in Virginia waters in the Chesapeake Bay.The islands'landmass has decreased by66.75percent since1850.Researchers looked at three situations of sea level rise(SLR):low,mid and high.In the mid-range SLR version,the islands'remaining landmass would largely be lost in50years and the town there would need to be abandoned.Under the situation of high SLR,much of the land would be lost within25years.Many of the islanders are multiple-generation residents.Currently,about700people are Tangier residents,and they are largely fishermen.Captain John Smith,of Jamestown,is thought to be the first white man who set foot on the island400or so years ago.Carol Pruitt-Moore,who is a seventh generation Tangier islander,told an Associated Press reporter:"I think it'll be less than50 years.We are away from being washed away or being forced to leave."Two things are affecting the islands:climate change and the sinking of the bay.In the study,after analyzing maps and aerial photos of the islands,1850through2013,the study authors made a model to predict the lifespan of the islands.They also say that if other measures were built,costing$30million to$40million, perhaps Tangier could stay above water another50years."The Tangier Islands and the town are running out of time,and if no action is taken,the citizens of Tangier may become the first climate change refugees in the continental USA,"as the report concludes.8.According to the research we can know that______________.A.Chesapeake Bay will disappear in25yearsB.the islands'landmass has decreased over150yearsC.the islanders are very worried about their futureD.Tangier will bepossibly moved to other place soon9.What about the T angier residents when they face the rising seas?A.They are too anxious to leave the islands.B.They are full withendless complaint.C.They feel much too sad and helpless.D.They are justthinking what to do at present.10.What if some measures were to be taken?A.Tangier would exist above the sea foreverB.An enormous investmentwould be needed.C.T he sinking of the bay would be prevented.D.Tangier would be amodel all over the world.11.Where can we probably read the passage?A.A science magazine.B.A T ravel brochure.C.A J ournal Nature.D.A story book.DIn general,the local food system is associated with organic agriculture because of its connection to smaller family farms that typically use these types of methods.The system means buying a food grown or made close to your home,or at least within your regional area.For fruits and vegetables,this means supporting a nearby farm that controlled every aspect of growing the crop.When food is grown in your community,it will reach youwithin a day or two of being picked,meaning peak flavor and nutritional value.Peaches will be sweeter,and meats,cheeses, breads and eggs will be fresher and more flavorful than anything found in the grocery store.Local farmers'markets provide spaces for families and individuals to deal with one another. Neighbors get to know each other another along with their farmer,baker and cheese-maker.When you buy food from a local maker or grower,you re-establish a time-honored connection between the provider and the eater.Knowing your farmers means learning about the seasons,the weather and the wonder that is growing food.It is the opportunity to teach children that food comes not from a box but soil,water,sun and lots of hard work.Shopping local brings together folks who care about truly nourishing people in the community;vendors and their customers enjoy relationships built on trust and understanding, relying on one another to keep their families healthy and thriving.Local farmers and producers want you to ask questions and visit;they're passionate about providing the highest-quality product,wanting you to love it as much as they do.When you buy local,you are given the luxury of knowing your grower or maker,visiting them,asking how their product is made and seeing for yourself how your food comes to be.Supporting local food helps ensure there to be farms in your community tomorrow,preserving natural landscapes and providing abundant,wholesome and delicious food for future generations.12.What is the main idea of the passage above?A.Local food tastes better and is good for you.B.Local food cost you morebut taste s better.C.Local food is produced in a new way.D.Local food helpspeople make friends.13.What does it mean if you buy the local food?A.You have the healthiest food in the world.B.You can learn to grow the crop s easily.C.You give your assistance to the local farmers.D.You can gain a good reputation in your community.14.What are the benefits if you know the local farm er s?A.Being honored by farmers and making more friendsB.Knowing more provider s and getting a bargainC.E nlarging knowledge and having a time to teach kidsD.Going into natureand growing food in boxes.15.What will you learn if you contact l ocal producers?A.They all get a good knowledge of the local customers.B.They in fact live in a luxurious and comfortable life.C.They think more of the health of future generations.D.They are simple, hospitable and ready to offer help.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5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。

Yet we lose countless hours to daily activities that bring us little joy like taking buses and waiting in line. What if we could turn these little blocks of unoccupied time into precious and rewarding moments for learning and reflection?Founded in 2012, iReader, a micro-learning app on mobile phones, brings the biggest ideas from best-selling books through 15-minute audio (音频) and text. So far, more than 3, 000 books have been included, ranging from psychology and parenting to management and economics, with new titles added every day.iReader is pioneering a new method of reading, with over 9 million users enjoying the benefits already. According to the Pew Research Center (PRC), the British read just 4 paper books a year and over 25% haven't read a single paper book this year, but reading isn't dying. There are now more ways for the British to read than ever before, due to the widespread use of e-books and audio books.The books in iReader are rewritten to ensure it is easy to remember the main content. The way the content is edited has been specifically designed to ensure it is useful in practice. Besides, the content is rewritten with relevant examples in real life, which means users are more likely to remember and apply what is helpful to them.Holger Seim, German co-founder of this app, declares, "iReader gives you the biggest ideas in the shortest possible time. It transforms great ideas into little packs you can listen to or read in just 15 minutes."4.What is the function of the first paragraph?A.To show many people are tired of reading.B.To blame the effect of fast-pace life on people.C.To suggest reducing people's everyday activities.D.To introduce the topic of the passage to readers.5.What can we infer from the PRC findings?A.The British get a lot of benefit from reading.B.Reading methods are more important than before.C.Digital technology is taking the place of paper books.D.New forms of books are changing the way the British read.6.What can we learn according to the Pew Research Center?A.A quarter of the British give up reading in their daily life.B.It is high time to call on all the British to do reading.C.E-books have changed the reading way of the British.D.The British like e-books more than people in other countries.7.How does iReader make the content easy to remember?A.By bringing fun to it.B.By making it useful.C.By using artistic designs.D.By taking users asexample.CWhy have so many awards ceremonies appeared recently? Shakespeare never won a prize, nor did Leonardo da Vinci or Adam Smith or Charles Dickens.It would be possible to say, however, that in the past, scientists and artists could win "patronage" from rich people—a king or a lord would give the artist or scientist money to have them paint their palaces or help them develop new ways of making money. With the change in social systems across the world, this no longer happens. A lot of scientific research is now e ither funded by the state or by private companies. Perhaps awards ceremonies are just the most recent face of this process.However, there is more to it than that. When a film wins an Oscar, many more people will go and see it or buy the DVD. When a writer wins the Nobel Prize, many more people buy his books. When a group wins the MTV awards, the ceremony is seen by hundreds of thousands of people across the world. The result? The group sells lots more records.Most awards ceremonies are now sponsored by big organizations or companies. This means that it is not only the person who wins the award who benefits but also the sponsors. The MTV awards, for example, are great for publicizing not only music but also MTV itself!On the surface, it seems to be a "win-win" situation, with everyone being happy, but let me ask you a question—how far do you think that publicity and marketing are winning here, and how much genuine recognition achievement is taking place?8.Why does the author refer to famous people like Shakespeare?A.To show these people are remembered forever.B.To give reasons why people should be given awards.C.To make preparations for the topic of the passage.D.To appeal that suchgreat people should be awarded.9.What does the underlined word "patronage" mean in the passage?A.Respect from the public.B.Masterworks from the scientists and artists.C.Popularity in the society.D.A form of prize-giving used in the past.10.H ow did the a rtists and scientists get money in the past?A.The rich people's support.B.Selling their works.C.Getting different awards.D.Assistance from thegovernment.11.W hat is the writer's attitude towards awards ceremonies?A.Subjective.B.Approving.C.Doubtful.D.Indifferent.DA group of scientists is gathering today in the U. K. to discuss a thick piece of ice that's cracking in Antarctica, which is of the size of Delaware.The ice shelf is called Larsen C, and it now has a 90-mile crack running through it. The big rift (裂缝) is slicing the ice shelf from top to bottom. But this is not just another sad climate change story. It's more complicated. "A lot of things are going on deep inside the ice," says Adrian Luckman, a glaciologist.Luckman says climate change is certainly influencing this region. Larsen C used to have two neighbors to the north, Larsen A and Larsen B. As the air and water warmed, those ice shelves started melting and then disappeared in 1995 and 2002. But the crack in Larsen C seems to have happened on its own, for different reasons.Larsen C has many cracks. All ice shelves do. This particular crack has been around since at least the 1960s. The unusual part is that in 2014, this crack–and only this crack–started growing quickly. Why?"Well, that is a little bit of a mystery and that’s why it drew itself to our attention," says Luckman. One puzzling aspect is how it managed to cut through areas of softer ice that bind (连接) the ice from neighboring glaciers into one giant sheet. Starting in 2014, that soft ice did very little to slow down this rift.Scientists are split on how important this crack is for the stability of the whole ice shelf. Some say if this giant section breaks off, it won't make a difference. Others disagree."Ice shelves are the gates of Antarctica in a way, and the gatekeepers of Antarctica. The ice shelves are already floating, so if they fall apart it does not immediately affect sea levels. It's what they hold back-water from all the inland glaciers–that could be problematic. If all the water packed in those glaciers made their way to the sea, it could significantly raise global sea levels," says Ala Khazendar, a geophysicist.12.W hat can we learn according to Adrian Luckman?rsen C is a big piece of ice about 90 miles.B.The severe big crackspreads from right to left.rsen C witnesses the saddest climate change.D.Climate change has caused extreme influence.13.W hat has made Larsen C's two neighbors disappear?A.Climate change.B.Human activities.C.The crack in Larsen C.D.Some unknown reasons.14.W hat do you know about the mentioned soft ice?A.It is easy to cut through.B.Its forming is still a mystery.C.It can prevent cracking to a degree.D.It exists mainly in small pieces of ice.15.W hat can we conclude from the last paragraph?A.Ice shelves will almost disappear in a few years.B.Sea levels has been rising sharply recently.C.Ala Khazendar is confident to control the ice.D.Ala Khazendar is worried about the situation.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5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。

As she once said of herself:“I would never sit back in a rocking-chair,waiting for someone to help me.”She was born on a farm in New York State. At twelve she left home and was in a service until at twenty-seven,she married Thomas Moses,the tenant of hers. They farmed most of their lives. She had ten children,of whom five survived; her husband died in 1928.Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery pictures as a hobby,but only changed to oils in old age because her hands had become too stiff to sew and she wanted to keep busy and pass the time. Her pictures were first sold at anexhibition,and were soon noticed by a businessman who bought everything she painted. Three of the pictures were shown in the Museum of Modern Art,and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York. Between the 1930‘s and her death she produced some 2,000 pictures:careful and lively pictures of the country life she had known,with a wonderful sense of color and form.( )41. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Grandma MosesB. The Children of Grandma MosesC. Grandma Moses:Her Best PicturesD. Grandma Moses and Her First Exhibition( )42.

Grandma Moses spent most of their life ________.A. nursingB. paintingC. farmingD. embroideringBIn the fall of 1924 Thomas Wolfe,fresh from his courses in play writing at Harvard joined the eight or ten of us who were teaching English composition in New York University. I had never before seen a man so tall as he,and so ugly. I pitied him and went out of my way to help him with his work and make him feel at home.His students soon let me know that he had no need of my protectiveness. They spoke of his ability to explain a poem in such a manner as to have them shouting with laughter or struggling to keep back their tears,of his readiness to quote in detail from any poet they could name.Indeed,his students made so much of his power of observation that I decided to make a little test and see for myself. My chance came one morning when the students were slowly gathering for nine o‘clock classes.Upon arriving at the university that day,I found Wolfe alone in the large room which served all the English composition teachers as an office. He did not say anything when I asked him to come with me out into the hall,and he only smiled when we reached a classroom door and I told him to enter alone and look around.He stepped in,remained no more than thirty seconds and then came out. “Tell me what you see.” I said as I took his place in the room,leaving him in the hall with his back to the door. Without the least hesitation and without a single error,he gave the number of seats in the room,pointed out those which were taken by boys andthose occupied by girls,named the colors each student was wearing,pointed out the Latin verb written on the blackboard,spoke of the chalk marks which the cleaner had failed to wash from the floor,and pictured in detail the view of Washington Square from the window.As I rejoined Wolfe,I was speechless with surprise. He,on the contrary,was wholly calm as he said,“The worst thing about it is that I‘ll remember it all.”( )45. What is the passage mainly discussing?A. Thomas Wolfe‘s teaching work.B. Thomas Wolfe‘s course in playwriting.C. Thomas Wolfe‘s ability of explaining.D. Thomas Wolfe‘s genius.( )46. Which of the following is NOT said in the passage?A. Wolfe‘s students praised Wolfe’s power of observation.B. The author made an experiment on Wolfe‘s ability.C. Wolfe‘s students asked the author to have a test of their ability.D. Wolfe did not feel angry when he was tested.( )47. What do we learn about Wolfe from the passage?A. He tried hard to remember what was in the classroom.B. He stayed in the classroom for a short time.C. He stayed drew a picture of Washington Square.D. He followed the author into the classroom.( )48. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The author was happy to see the test result.B. What the students said was hardly true.C. Wolfe would remember forever what the author had done.D. Wolfe felt joyful after he had been tested.CThe trick in food photography is to show the food looking fresh,so many dishes have stand-ins,just as movie stars do. “When I get my lights and cameras set up,I remove the stand-in and put in the real thing,” explains Ray Webber,who photographs food for magazine advertisements. “Sometimes I have to brush the meat with its juices because it may have dried out a bit. A and when I‘m shooting (拍照) something like tomatoes,I always carry water to spray them with dew just before I shoot.”Shooting food outdoors has special problems. “I‘m always worrying about fliesor worms crawling up a glass,” Webber explains,“my worry is that someday a dog will come up from behind and run off with the food.” Once Webber was shooting a piece of cheese outdoors and needed something to make its color beautiful. Finally he found it:a weed with lovely blue flowers. When the shot appeared,several people were horrified-the weed was deadly nightshade!( )49. Just before being photographed,some meats and vegetables are _______.A. fannedB. dyedC. frozenD. made wet( )50.

He became a fair piano player but not so good that anyone expected him to become a great musician.Jerome was a quiet boy and not a top student.When he completed high school,his father said he would have to work in the family's store.Mister Kern said his son could never make money writing music.But he later came to believe that Jerome might do better in music than in business after all.So he let the boy go to Europe,as almost all serious young musicians did at the time.Jerome Kern began his career as a songwriter in theaters in London and New York City. Success came quickly.By the early1920s,Kern was a successful young composer for Broadwaymusical comedies.In one three-year period alone,he wrote music for nineteen shows.Other people wrote the words for Kern's songs.Kern wrote only the music.And he worked with each song until he was satisfied that the music was perfect.Although Kern's songs are easy to remember after hearing a few times,they are not simple. An example of his inventiveness is the song"All the Things You Are."Several composers say they consider it the greatest song ever written.Singers continue to like Kern songs because they can be sung in many different ways.The melody(旋律)remains the same,b ut different singers can change the feeling of the song completely.4.What about Jerome Kern when he was a child?A.He appeared to be a promising musician.B.He disliked being disturb ed by others.C.He got much influenced by his mother.D.He decided to be a fair piano player.5.Why did Mister Kern send his son Jerome to Europe?A.Because his son was tired of doing business.B.Because he wantedhis son to make more money.C.Because his son made a promise to achieve success.D.Because he thought Jerome would stand out in music.6.What does the author imply in the fourth paragraph?A.Jerome Kern completed his song independently.B.Jerome Kern becamefamous at about40C.Jerome Kern finished nineteen shows in his lifeD.Jerome Kern oftenfound fault with others7.The author mentioned"All the Things You Are."________.A.to show his songs are extremely easy to singB.to indicate his song isthe most creativeC.to show singers can remember his songs easilyD.to stress the melodyhas moved its listenersCWhite socks are found in every wardrobe.The color is too light and socks always get dirty very easily.There are many people who complain that even after washing white socks,they tend to become yellow gradually.Well,it is not possible to get your white socks as bright as new after a few washes,but you can prevent it from becoming yellow.If you wear white every day,keep a stock of three pairs in the wardrobe.Wash the socks after every use.This will prevent the stains and dirt from becoming permanent.Moreover,white gets dirty soon when compared to other colors,so maintaining the white socks is important. Soaking white socks in hot water can damage the material of the socks.So,it is suggested to use slightly warm water as it helps wash the white socks easily and is fabric-friendly.Soak the dirty white socks in slightly warm water for about an hour.After that,brush the socks gently to remove dirt and other stains.And then wash with clean water till the foam of the socks is gone.Sometimes,you can use a bleach to wash white socks at home.It helps clean and maintain the white color of the socks.Lemon has acids which helps maintain the whiteness of the socks.Moreover,if you have sweaty feet and want to get rid of the terrible smell from the socks,use lemon juice.Just add a few dropsof lemon juice in the warm water and leave for30-45minutes.Wash it with clean water and sundry.Baking Soda is another bleach,which can wash the white socks and also maintain it.Add apinch of baking soda in the water and soak the dirty socks for about25minutes.Brush and use a soap to wash the white socks.Try these tips to wash and maintain white socks at home.8.What has made people upset is that________.A.white socks are so easy to become dirtyB.they can't dry white socks in the sunC.no one knows how to wash white socksD.it is not easy to make white socks white9.Why does the a uthor suggest buy ing three pairs of socks?A.S o that you can wash all of them togetherB.B ecause the socks should be kept properlyC.S o that you can put two of them in wardrobeD.B ecause it takes efforts to maintain them10.What is the function of lemon juice?A.To help remove the unpleasant smell.B.To play the role of a bleach in washing.C.To keep the socks soft and comfortable.D.To make the socks more fabric-friendly.11.What can we conclude from the passage?A.T he washing tips are simple to follow.B.B aking soda is the most effective tips.C.U sing cold water to wash is necessary.D.T he foam is likely to make socks yellow.DThe joy of absenceHow some companies fight the curse of presenteeism(出勤主义)?RONALD REAGAN famously joked that"it's true hard work never killed anybody,but I figure,why take the chance?"Beyond a certain level,extra effort seems to be self-defeating. Studies suggest that,after around50hours a week,employee productivity declines sharply.But that doesn't stop some managers from demanding that workers stay chained to their desk for long periods.Jack Ma,the founder of Alibaba,the Chinese e-commerce group,recently praised the996model,where employees work from9a.m.to9p.m.,six days a week,as a"great opportunity".Yet presenteeism is the curse of the modern office worker.There will be days when you do not have much to do;perhaps because you are waiting for someone else in a different department,or a different company,to respond to a request.As the clock ticks past5p.m.,there may be no purpose in staying at your desk.But you can see your boss hard at work and,more importantly,they can see you.So you make an effort to look busy.The consequence is often wasted effort.Rather than work hard,you slave to make bosses think that you are.But presenteeism has more serious consequences.As well as reduced productivity,this can mean greater medical expenses for the employer.According to a study in the Journal of Occupation and Environmental Medicine,these costs can be six times higher for employers than the costs of absenteeism among workers.None of this is to say that employers are not called to expect workers to be in the office for a proper period of time.Surely there will be a need for some(preferably short)meetings.Dealing with colleagues face-to-face creates a feeling of togetherness,allows for a useful exchange of ideas and enables workers to have abetter sense of their mutual needs.Turning an office into a prison,with inmates(囚犯)allowed home for the evenings,does nothing for creativity that is increasingly demanded of office workers as routine tasks are automated.To be productive you need presence of mind,not being present in the flesh.12.What's the function of the first paragraph in the passage?A.To introduce Ronald Reagan to the readers.B.To stress the importance of presenteeism.C.To introduce the topic of the passage.D.To speak highly of Ronald Reagan's joking skills.13.What is the meaning of the underlined sentence?A.Extra effort causes problems or difficulties.B.With extra effort,we can defeat anybody.C.We should say no to extra effort.D.Extra effort isn't necessarily helpful.14.Which is the poor result from presenteeism?A.The boss will never trust his hardworking employee s.B.T he employer shave to pay more wages for extra wrok.C.P resenteeism will contribute to a big loss for the bosses.D.More and more employees will give up their jobs.15.Which of the following opinions agrees with the passage?A.Some managers expect workers tie themselves up with a chain to their desks.B.Reduced productivity can mean greater medical expenses for the employer.C.With growing demand of creativity on office workers,a prison-like office is not a wise option.D.Presence of mind guarantees your productivity.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5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。

ATop Four MarathonsPortland MarathonThe marathon welcomes8,000people every fall.It's a great event for first-timers because everyone is cheered on with enthusiasm no matter how long it takes to cross the finish line.The time limit for the full marathon is now at a pace of15 minutes per mile,or6hours and33minutes,but in the past it had an open time limit.They promise you'll still receive your medal if you fall behind the pace,but you have to finish using the sidewalks.TCS New York City MarathonAs the world's biggest marathon,the TCS New York City Marathon attracts over50,000people to the Big Apple each November.The time limit is generous eight and a half hours,but participants must move to the sidewalk if they drop below a15-minute mile.The famous course snakes through five boroughs(行政区)of the city and crosses five bridges to end in Central Park.Honolulu MarathonThe marathon attracts over30,000participants each December.The race starts on Ala Moana Boulevard in downtown Honolulu and snakes its way along the breathtaking Hawaiian coastline to the finish line in Kapiolani Park.The start time is at5:00am with finish line services officially open until2:00pm.However,the organizers allow everyone to finish and have waiters on hand until4:00pm.Boston MarathonThe marathon is held in May every year.For this event,running isn't allowed as the city streets aren't closed off. Participants must instead make their way along sidewalks under the guidance of event organizers and city police.The event attracts over8,000people who can choose anything from a three-mile walk to the full26.2-mile Boston Marathon route.1.Where is a new marathon runner most likely to receive enthusiastic cheers?A.In Portland.B.In New York.C.In Honolulu.D.In Boston.2.What can we know about TCS New York City Marathon?A.It is extremely popular.B.It has an open time limit.C.It starts and ends in a park.D.It forbids using the sidewalk.3.Which marathon is held the earliest in a year?A.Portland Marathon.B.TCS New York City Marathon.C.Boston Marathon.D.Honolulu Marathon.BI was only19when I learned that my father was dying of a rare and incurable disease.The doctors couldn't tell usmuch about the illness.At first they thought it was tuberculosis,but the doctors soon eliminate d(排除)that.Finally,they called it diffuse pulmonary interstitial fibrosis(DPIF弥漫性肺间质纤维化)—merely a description of symptoms.The doctors didn't know what had caused his disease,nor did they know how to treat it.All they could tell us was that he would die very soon.I guess I was as close to my father as the average American teenager,but that wasn't enough.My father was dying,and my world was collapsing around me.I loved him so much,but I hadn't told him that because I was"too big"for all of that. Now,more than anything,I wanted to tell Dad that I loved him,and I wasn't even sure that he would know I was there.I walked into the room.Dad was a pitiful sight.He was under an oxygen tent.His body was covered in a quilt, with tubes sticking in his arms,his chest and his nose.He was breathing hard,but very little oxygen was getting into his bloodstream.He hadn't responded to us in days.Once again,he was merely a shell of a human being.Amazingly,he looked up and recognized me."Hello son,"he said slowly."Hi Dad,"I replied in joy.Now was my chance,but I couldn't get the words out of my mouth.They were pounding in my consciousness—I LOVE YOU!They stayed locked inside until I was about to explode.Why couldn't I get them out?Finally, I said it."I love you Dad."Those little words can mean so much.He heard—and he understood.He died just a few hours later.4.What can we learn according to the first paragraph?A.His father had doubt about what the doctor said.B.The author didn't take DPIF asseriously as it was.C.No one knew why his father suffered from DPIF.D.DPIF was a common but tough diseaseat that time.5.How was the author when faced with his sick father?A.He felt so frightened as not to know what to do.B.He considered himself to be an average teenager.C.He thought he had the ability to act as an adult.D.He couldn't imagine his future lifewithout his father.6.Why did the author call his father a shell of a human being?A.Because his father was lying in bed covered in a quilt.B.Because his father looked strange under an oxygen tent.C.Because his father couldn't move his arms and talk freely.D.Because his father suffered pain and became too thin.7.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.The author felt reli e ved in the end.B.His father never showed love to others.C.The author is a person with few words.D.His father disliked talking with the author.CThe team from the Universities of Southern California,Harvard,and Peking say it is the first time it has been shown that choices we make later in life,rather than in early childhood,can influence our height.All humans go through physical changes with age,including an increase in body fat and decrease in bone mass. Previous studies have suggested that we start to get smaller as early as in our30s,with changes to the spine(脊椎)and bones all having an effect.Men lose on average3.3cm by their deaths.Using data from a survey of17,708adults beginning at age45,the researchers showed a number of new influences —including education—which determined how much we shrank.Professor John Strauss,of the University of Southern California,said:"Had we only examined the connection between measured height and health,we would have missed this important insight.The evidence shows that it is not only early-life events that are associated with how we age,but health decisions in later life as well."While prior work has looked for the connection between height and health-both in childhood and adulthood—the researchers are the first to examine height loss as we age.They showed that regardless of your maximum height,the loss of height over time is also an important indicator for other health issues as we age.The study found that those who had lost more height were also much more likely to perform poorly on standard tests of cognitive(认知)health such as short-term memory,ability to perform basic arithmetic(算术)and awareness of the date.Urban residents had much less height loss than those in rural areas,and having completed primary school—rather than being illiterate—is associated with0.9cm less height shrinkage in pleting high school meant an additional1cm less in shrinkage.For women,having completed primary school was the difference in0.6cm of shrinkage,compared to average overall height decrease of3.8cm.8.What will happen as we get older and older?A.The fat in the body will decrease.B.The bone mass will become less.C.T he spine will lose its function.D.The mental changes are obvious.9.What can we conclude according to the survey?A.Health and education is lined with height.cation is connected with aperson's health.C.H ealth decision will make a person happy.D.Childhood activities will influence awhole life.10.What does the underlined word"illiterate"mean in the passage?A.U nschooled.cated.C.Active.D.I gnorant.11.What does it mean to have a college education?A.0.9cm less height shrinkage in men.B.0.6cm less height shrinkage in women.C.over1cm less height shrinkage in men.D.3.8cm less height shrinkage in women.DBacteria are an annoying problem for astronauts.The microorganisms(微生物)from our bodies grow uncontrollably on surfaces of the International Space Station,so astronauts spend hours cleaning them up each week.How is NASA overcoming this very tiny big problem?It's turning to a bunch of high school kids.But not just any kids.It depending on NASA HUNCH high school class,like the one science teachers Gene Gordon and Donna Himmelberg lead at Fairport High School in Fairport,New York.HUNCH is designed to connect high school classrooms with NASA engineers.For the past two years,Gordon's students have been studying ways to kill bacteria in zero gravity,and they think they're close to a solution(解决方案). "We don't give the students any breaks.They have to do it just like NASA engineers,"says Florence Gold,a project manager."There are no tests,"Gordon says."There is no graded homework.There almost are no grades,other than'Are youworking towards your goal?'Basically,it's'I've got to produce this product and then,at the end of year,present it to NASA.'Engineers come and really do an in-person review,and…it's not a very nice thing at time.It's a hard business review of your product."Gordon says the HUNCH program has an impact(影响)on college admissions and practical life skills."These kids are so absorbed in their studies that I just sit back.I don't teach."And that annoying bacteria?Gordon says his students are emailing daily with NASA engineers about the problem,readying a workable solution to test in space.12.What troubles astronauts at the International Space Station?A.The microorganisms grow fast in space.B.A stronauts are surrounded by b acteria.C.The microorganisms are hard to remove.D.A stronauts are too busy to do cleaning.13.What can we learn according to the second paragraph?A.Gordon's students try to kill bacteria for the first time.B.S pace technology is linked with school education.C.Gordon's students will continue working for two years.D.NASA engineers come to teach the students for a while.14.What do the NASA engineers do for the students in the program?A.Check their product.B.Guide project designsC.Adjust work schedules.D.Grade their homework.15.What is the best title for the text?A.NASA:The Home of Astronauts.B.Space:The Final Homework Frontier.C.Nature:An Outdoor Classroom.D.HUNCH:A College Admission Reform.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。

After graduating from high school, I moved to Los Angeles, where I earned a degree in video production. Fortune smiled upon me as I quickly worked at important positions. I was young and ambitious working in the field I'd dreamed of for years.One day, while assisting as a volunteer at an award show, one of the production managers remarked that I was going to be a "powerhouse". I knew I wanted to be happy and enjoy whatever work I did, but I wasn't sure I wanted to be a "powerhouse". Not too long after the show, I was laid off from my position at the production company. It sent me back home to Florida to think about my next career move.In Florida, I landed a job working the night shift at a financial institution. The pay was good, but a few months later my creative spirit sent an S. O. S. to my brain, signaling I wasn't making the best use of my talents. I didn't have the money to make another cross-country move back to Los Angeles, but I also couldn't stay in an unfulfilling(不称心的)job.I did some creative writing during my spare time. To motivate myself even further, I made the commitment to authora children's book. My goal didn't end there, however. I was also determined to get the book published.Once I completed my manuscript(手稿), I decided it would be best if it were a picture storybook. It was not easy for me to get the book published and yet I continued sending out my work. It took somewhere between three and four years to finally attract the interest of a publisher. I held a copy of my beautiful children's book in my hands.I found a happy place within and a new realization. I may not have become a powerhouse, but I did accomplish a goal. Success found within is how you define it, how you live it and always have something to strive for, not fear.(1)What used to be the author's goal in life?A.To be a financial expert.B.To be a music video director.C.To be a famous book writer.D.To be a powerhouse.(2)What was the author's attitude towards her first job?A.Disappointed.B.Indifferent.C.Puzzled.D.Satisfied.(3)What did the author do when she got back to Florida?A.Make a change in her career.B.Define her goal in life.C.Find someone appreciating her talent.D.Move back to her home.(4)What can we learn from the text?A.Be brave to struggle for something.B.Try different lifestyles.C.Stick to the first goal in our life.D.Find our own strength.3.One of the important, but seldom-discussed, problems in healthcare reform is how to take care of our aging population as people continue to live longer. According to a new study from the MacArthur Research Network on an Aging Society, by 2050 Americans may live 3.1 to 7.9 years longer than the government expects. That would mean women would live 89 to 93 years and men 83 to nearly 86 years. The researchers base their conclusion on "rapid advances in biomedical(生物医药)technology that delay the start and progression of major deadly diseases or that slow the aging process."While this is good news, especially for the young, the life expectancy, which is in excess of(超过)the government's estimates, would raise costs sharply for Medicare and Social Security. If the study's predictions are accurate, the total cost for those two programs through 2050 could be between 3.2trillionand8.3 trillion higher than the US Census Bureau(人口普查局)and the Social Security Administration currently expect.And that's only the beginning. With anticipated scientific breakthroughs in coming decades, people could eventually live to 150 years of age, says Dr. Steven Joyal, an official of the Life Extension Foundation(LEF), a nonprofit organization that promotes research on how we can live longer and healthier. The MacArthur paper, in fact, says that some experts believe the average life expectancy could hit 100 by 2060.What's more, Joyal says, the conquest(战胜)of disease and the slowing of the aging process will lead to a sharp decline in disability, allowing people of advanced age to function as well as they did when they were much younger. "In other words, a 90-year-old person could have the same mental and physical capacity as somebody 40 or 50 years old."(1)What does the new study show?A.Few people pay attention to the health care reform in the US.B.Americans will live much longer by 2050 than they do now.C.Fewer Americans suffer from deadly disease now than before.D.Great progress has been made in the US in public security.(2)What probably helps Americans live much longer?A.Healthcare reform.B.Social security.C.New research in health care.D.Biomedical technology.(3)What problem may a longer life expectancy in the US lead to?A.The old will have some mental problems.B.The aging process will speed up.C.It will increase public costs for the government.D.It adds to the chance of being disabled.(4)Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.The Disadvantage of Longer Life ExpectancyB.Life for Senior Citizens in the USC.What Can Be Done to Support So Many Aged PeopleD.The Longer Life Expectancy in the Future4.A new study showed evidence of how coal burning which was caused by a volcanic eruption resulted in climate change in Siberia. It discovered the first direct evidence of how extensive burning of coal in Siberia caused the Permian-Triassic(二叠纪至三叠纪)Mass Extinction Event. Their study was published recently in Geology. The research team looked at the volcaniclastic rocks found in the Siberian Traps. These eruptions lasted for about two million years more. The mass extinction almost extinguished life on our planet around 252 million years in the past.Researchers calculated the temperature of marine waters at the time extinctions were at their peak, and results showed that the planet was in an extremely high temperature level, with ocean and sea temperatures around the equator(赤道)over 104° F. Ecosystems and plant and animal species needed millions of years to establish a new balance and recover populations.One assuming cause of the event involves massive coal burning, which led to extreme global warming and extinguished most life forms. The team set out to look for evidence of this theory and began to study the region of the Siberian Traps, where magma and lava(岩浆和熔岩)are known to have burned coal and wood.In the Angara River, the team found high cliffs of volcaniclastic rocks that line the river for many hundreds of miles. They studied the structures for six years, travelling far and wide to collect rocks. More than a thousand pounds of rock samples were collected and shared with a scientific team.Upon analysis, they found strange parts that seemed to be burnt wood and coal. Co-author Steve Grasby from the Geological Survey of Canada had previously found similar tiny burnt coal material on an arctic island in Canada, which also dated from the end of the Permian Period and were believed to have floated into the area from Siberia.Similar events also occur today, with human burning of coal and other fossil energies. The team leader Elkins-Tanton says this is an extra incentive(动因)for us to act now. Indeed, taking action may prevent or at least slow another mass extinction event.(1)What does the underlined word "extinguished" in the first paragraph mean?A.Formed.B.Destroyed.C.Strengthened.D.Constructed.(2)What was the major cause for the life to die out on the earth?A.High temperatures caused by the volcano.B.Parts from the volcanic eruption.C.Magma and lava of the volcanic eruption.ck of food after the volcanic eruption.(3)What does Elkins-Tanton expect us to do?A.To take measures to protect wild animals.B.To avoid burning the fossil fuels.C.To learn how to stay alive in disasters.D.To try to prevent volcanoes erupting.(4)What is this text mainly about?A.The high temperatures around the world.B.How to protect our earth more effectively.C.A study of coal burning in history in Siberia.D.The mass extinction in history in Siberia.二、七选五阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

ACheck off the Four CornersArizona,Utah,Colorado and New Mexico are not simply the only four American states that meet at a single point,but they also host the US's greatest concentration of national parks.This is the place to come for that classic scene of the lonely desert road extending to the horizon.On your way,take in such sights as the Monument Valley and the mysterious remains of centuries-old civilizations in Colorado's Mesa Verde.Find beauty in the desertWith many miles of excellent roads,a self-drive trip in Namibia makes total sense.Plan a route north from capital Windhoek to wildlife-rich Etosha National Park,before crossing Damaraland to reach the Skeleton Coast.T he most impressive desert views are in the Namib-Naulduft National Park to the south.At Sossusvlei,the landscape takes on the quality of a surrealist(超现实的)painting.Cross half a continentThe1,761-mile-long Stuart Highway runs north to south through Australia's Red Centre.It is not a road where every turn shows new wonders;the reward of this trip comes in the gradual change in your surroundings,from red soils'in Australia's outback to the tropical(热带的) leaves of the Indian Ocean coast.Take the high roadAmong all the crashing of continental plates that raised up the Canadian Rockies,a144-mile route was left more or less clear at their center.The Icefields Parkway now passes through this amazing scenery;with the access it brings to icy lakes,waterfalls and ice fields,the section between Banff and Jasper has a good claim to being the most scenic in the world.1.Where can you experience ancient civilizations?A.In Australia's Red Centre.B.In the Canadian Rockies.C.In Colorado's Mesa Verde.D.In the Namib-Naukluft National Park.2.What can you do when driving along the Stuart

responsibilities and financial worries took a toll on us and we began arguing frequently,often late into the night.However,neither of us could take the step that would end our eleven-year marriage and bring heartbreak to our three young children.Deep down we knew we still loved each other,so we determined to work it out.Through countless discussions,we began to close the gulf.The more honest we were,the closer we became.When I felt we were reaching solid ground,I asked my husband to give me an"eternity (永恒)ring".It was not so much the ring I wanted:it was the reassurance(保证)I thought it would bring.We went shopping on a beautiful summer day.We walked hand in hand along a row of jeweller's shops.Finally I found a ring I liked.While waiting for it to be adjusted,the jeweller took my left hand and glanced at my engagement ring."May I clean it for you?"he asked."It really doesn't sparkle(闪耀)like it used to,"Charlie said,as I slipped the ring off my finger.A few minutes later the jeweller was back.The ring shone like new.On the drive home,I didn't take my eyes off it.I forgot all about the eternity ring.I just couldn't believe how this old ring suddenly sparkled the way it had the day.Charlie gave it to me.I had taken it for granted these past years,but with a little polish it could still make my heart beat fast.And that's the way it is with a marriage.You have to work at keeping it polished and new,or else the grime(污垢)of the passing years will hide the joy.I put my hand on the seat between us and spread my fingers Charlie covered my hand with his.I felt I was lucky

the rest of an island in the middle of Chesapeake Bay may turn out to be the first citizens of the continental United States to experience rising seas,concludes a report by oceanographer David M.Schulte and two fellow scientists with the U.S.Army Corps of Engineers.The study involved Tangier Island and its nearby,smaller islands,the last inhabited islands in Virginia waters in the Chesapeake Bay.The islands'landmass has decreased by66.75percent since1850.Researchers looked at three situations of sea level rise(SLR):low,mid and high.In the mid-range SLR version,the islands'remaining landmass would largely be lost in50years and the town there would need to be abandoned.Under the situation of high SLR,much of the land would be lost within25years.Many of the islanders are multiple-generation residents.Currently,about700people are Tangier residents,and they are largely fishermen.Captain John Smith,of Jamestown,is thought to be the first white man who set foot on the island400or so years ago.Carol Pruitt-Moore,who is a seventh generation Tangier islander,told an Associated Press reporter:"I think it'll be less than50 years.We are away from being washed away or being forced to leave."Two things are affecting the islands:climate change and the sinking of the bay.In the study,after analyzing maps and aerial photos of the islands,1850through2013,the study authors made a model to predict the lifespan of the islands.They also say that if other measures were built,costing$30million to$40million, perhaps Tangier could stay above water another50years."The Tangier Islands and the town are running out of time,and if no action is taken,the citizens of Tangier may become the first climate change refugees in the continental USA,"as the report concludes.8.According to the research we can know that______________.A.Chesapeake Bay will disappear in25yearsB.the islands'landmass has decreased over150yearsC.the islanders are very worried about their futureD.Tangier will bepossibly moved to other place soon9.What about the Tangier residents when they face the rising seas?A.They are too anxious to leave the islands.B.They are full withendless complaint.C.They feel much too sad and helpless.D.They are justthinking what to do at present.10.What if some measures were to be taken?A.Tangier would exist above the sea foreverB.An enormous investmentwould be needed.C.T he sinking of the bay would be prevented.D.Tangier would be amodel all over the world.11.Where can we probably read the passage?A.A science magazine.B.A T ravel brochure.C.A J ournal Nature.D.A story book.DIn general,the local food system is associated with organic agriculture because of its connection to smaller family farms that typically use these types of methods.The system means buying a food grown or made close to your home,or at least within your regional area.For fruits and vegetables,this means supporting a nearby farm that controlled every aspect of growing the crop.When food is grown in your community,it will reach you within a day or two of being picked,meaning peak flavor and nutritional value.Peaches will be sweeter,and meats,cheeses, breads and eggs will be fresher and more flavorful than anything found in the grocery store.Local farmers'markets provide spaces for families and individuals to deal with one another. Neighbors get to know each other another along with their farmer,baker and cheese-maker.When you buy food from a local maker or grower,you re-establish a time-honored connection between the provider and the eater.Knowing your farmers means learning about the seasons,the weather and the wonder that is growing food.It is the opportunity to teach children that food comes not from a box but soil,water,sun and lots of hard work.Shopping local brings together folks who care about truly nourishing people in the community;vendors and their customers enjoy relationships built on trust and understanding, relying on one another to keep their families healthy and thriving.Local farmers and producers want you to ask questions and visit;they're passionate about providing the highest-quality product,wanting you to love it as much as they do.When you buy local,you are given the luxury of knowing your grower or maker,visiting them,asking how their product is made and seeing for yourself how your food comes to be.Supporting local food helps ensure there to be farms in your community tomorrow,preserving natural landscapes and providing abundant,wholesome and delicious food for future generations.12.What is the main idea of the passage above?A.Local food tastes better and is good for you.B.Local food cost you morebut taste s better.C.Local food is produced in a new way.D.Local food helpspeople make friends.13.What does it mean if you buy the local food?A.You have the healthiest food in the world.B.You can learn to grow the crop s easily.C.You give your assistance to the local farmers.D.You can gain a good reputation in your community.14.What are the benefits if you know the local farm er s?A.Being honored by farmers and making more friendsB.Knowing more provider s and getting a bargainC.E nlarging knowledge and having a time to teach kidsD.Going into natureand growing food in boxes.15.What will you learn if you contact l ocal producers?A.They all get a good knowledge of the local customers.B.They in fact live in a luxurious and comfortable life.C.They think more of the health of future generations.D.They are simple, hospitable and ready to offer help.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5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。
