I was back teaching after an absence of 15 years, dealing with the various kinds of "forbidden fruit" that come out of book bags. Now was the spring of the water pistol.I decided to think up a method of dealing with forbidden fruit."Please bring that pistol to me," I said. "I'm going to put it in my Grandma's Box.""What's that?" they asked."It's a large wooden chest full of toys for my grandchildren," I replied,"You don't have grandchildren," someone said."I don't now." I replied. "But someday I will. When I do, my box will be full of wonderful things for them."My imaginary Grandma's Box worked like magic that spring, and later. Sometimes. students would ask me to describe all the things I had in it. Then I would try to remember the different possessions I supposedly had taken away—since I seldom actually kept them. Usually the offender would appear at the end of the day, and I would return the belonging.The-years went by, and my first grandchild Gordon was born. I shared my joy with that year's class. Then someone said, "Now you can use your Grandma's Box." From then on instead of coming to ask their possessions back, the students would say, "That's okay. Put it in your Grandma's Box for Gordon."I loved talking about the imaginary box, not only with my students but also with my own children. They enjoyed hearing about all the forbidden fruit I had collected. Then one Christmas I received a surprise gift—a large, beautifully made wooden chest. My son Bruce had made my Grandma's Box a reality.19.What was the author's purpose in having the conversation with the students?A.To collect the water pistol. B.To talk about her grandchildren.C.To recommend some toys. D.To explain her teaching method.20.What do the underlined words "the offender" in paragraph 8 refer to?A.The student's parent. B.The maker of the Grandma's Box.C.The author's grandchild. D.The owner of the forbidden fruit.21.What did the students do after they learned about the birth of Gordon?A.They went to play with the baby. B.They asked to see the Grandma's Box.C.They made a present for Gordon. D.They stopped asking their toys back.22.What can we infer about the author?A.She enjoys telling jokes. B.She is a strict and smart teacher.C.She loves doing woodwork. D.She is a responsible grandmotherIn May 1987 the Golden Gate Bridge had a 50th birthday party. The bridge was closed to motor traffic so people could enjoy a walk across it. Organizers expected perhaps 50,000 people to show up. Instead, as many as 800, 000 crowded the roads to the bridge. By the time 250,000 were on the bridge, engineers noticed something terrible:the roadway was flattening under what turned out to be the heaviest load it had ever been asked to carry. Worse, it was beginning to sway (晃动). The authorities closed access to the bridge and tens of thousands of people made their way back to land. A disaster was avoided.The story is one of scores in To Forgive Design:Understanding Failure, a book that is at once a love letter to engineering and a paean(赞歌)to its breakdowns. Its author, Dr. Henry Petroski, has long been writing about disasters. In this book, he includes the loss of the space shuttles(航天飞机)Challenger and Columbia, and the sinking of the Titanic.Though he acknowledges that engineering works can fail because the person who thought them up or engineered them simply got things wrong, in this book Dr. Petroski widens his view to consider the larger context in which such failures occur. Sometimes devices fail because a good design is constructed with low quality materials incompetently applied. Or perhaps a design works so well it is adopted elsewhere again and again, with seemingly harmless improvements, until, suddenly, it does not work at all anymore.Readers will encounter not only stories they have heard before, but some new stories and a moving discussion of the responsibility of the engineer to the public and the ways young engineers can be helped to grasp them."Success is success but that is all that it is," Dr. Petroski writes. It is failure that brings improvement.23.What happened to the Golden Gate Bridge on its 50th birthday?A.It carried more weight than it could.B.It swayed violently in a strong windC.Its roadway was damaged by vehiclesD.Its access was blocked by many people.24.Which of the following is Dr. Petroski's idea according to paragraph 3?A.No design is well received everywhereB.Construction is more important than design.C.Not all disasters are caused by engineering designD.Improvements on engineering works are necessary.25.What does the last paragraph suggest?A.Failure can lead to progress. B.Success results in overconfidenceC.Failure should be avoided. D.Success comes from joint efforts.26.What is the text?A.A news report B.A short story.C.A book review D.A research article.Rainforests are home to a rich variety of medicinal plants, food, birds and animals. Can you believe that a single bush(灌木丛)in the Amazon may have more species of ants than the whole of Britain! About 480 varieties of trees may be found in just one hectare of rainforest.Rainforests are the lungs of the planet-storing vast quantities of carbon dioxide and producing a significant amount of the world's oxygen. Rainforests have their own perfect system for ensuring their own survival; the tall trees make a canopy (树冠层)of branches and leaves which protect themselves, smaller plants, and the forest animals from heavy rain, intense dry heat from the sun and strong winds.Amazingly, the trees grow in such a way that their leaves and branches, although close together, never actually touch those of another tree. Scientists think this is the plants' way to prevent the spread of any tree diseases and make life more difficult for leaf-eating insects like caterpillars. To survive in the forest, animals must climb, jump or fly across the gaps. The ground floor of the forest is not all tangled leaves and bushes, like in films, but is actually fairly clear. It is where dead leaves turn into food for the trees and other forest life.They are not called rainforests for nothing! Rainforests can generate 75%of their own rain. At least 80 inches of rain ayear is normal-and in some areas there may be as much as 430 inches of rain annually. This is real rain-your umbrella may protect you in a shower, but it won't keep you dry if there is a full rainstorm. In just two hours, streams can rise ten to twenty feet. The humidity(湿气)of large rainforests contributes to the formation of rainclouds that may travel to other countries in need of rain.27.What can we learn about rainforests from the first paragraph?A.They produce oxygen. B.They cover a vast area.C.They are well managed. D.They are rich in wildlife.28.Which of the following contributes most to the survival of rainforests?A.Heavy rains B.Big trees.C.Small plants. D.Forest animals.29.Why do the leaves and branches of different trees avoid touching each other?A.For more sunlight. B.For more growing space.C.For self-protection. D.For the detection of insects.30.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Life-Giving Rainforests B.The Law of the JungleC.Animals in the Amazon D.Weather in Rainforests三、七选五Talking with your doctorTalking freely with your doctor can make you feel better and gives your doctor the information she or he needs to give you the best care. Don't be afraid or embarrassed to discuss something that is bothering you.31.●Stay positive.Go to your doctor's visits with a good attitude.32.Think teamwork! Think positive!●Keep track of how you are feeling.33.This will make it easier for you to answer questions about your symptoms(症状)and how medicines make you feel. It also makes it easier for you to bring up anything that you are worried about. Make sure to be honest about how you feel and how long you've felt that way.●34.Your medical history is a list of your illnesses, treatments, what the doctors told you to do, and anything else you think your doctor should know. Also, if you are allergic(过敏)to any medicines, be sure to mention that to your doctor.●Ask questions.Do not be afraid to ask your doctor any questions you have. To remember all the questions you have when you are not in the doctor's office, write them down and bring the list with you to your appointment.35.Remember—there's no such thing as a stupid question. If you don't understand the answer to a question, ask the doctor to explain it again until you do understand.A.This will make getting answers easier.B.Here are some tips for talking with your doctor.C.You can talk to another doctor if the treatments don't work.D.Before your doctor's visit, keep notes on how you are feeling.E.Remember, your doctor and other caregivers are on your side.F.Bring your medical history, including a list of your current medicines.G.Writing down what the doctor says will help you remember important information.四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

I put a small set of Tinkertoys infront of each student, and said:”Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have45 minutes today - and 45minutes each day for the rest of the week.”A few students hesitated to start.They waited to see the rest of the class would do. Several others checked theinstructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided.Another group built something out of their own imaginations.Once I had a boy who workedexperimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His constructions filled ashelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I wasdelighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creativemind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant inclass whose creativity would infect(感染) other students.Encouraging this kind of thinkinghas a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students who had a differentstyle of thinking. Without fail one would declare, ”But I’m just not creative.”“Do you dream at night when you’reasleep?”“Oh, sure.”“So tell me one of your mostinteresting dreams.” The student would tell something wildly imaginative.Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads. “That’s prettycreative. Who does that for you?”“Nobody. I do it.”“Really-at night, when you’reasleep?”“Sure.”zxx.k“Try doing it in the daytime, inclass, okay?”5. The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to ________?A. know more about the studentsB.make the lessons more excitingC. raise the students’ interest in artD. teach the students about toy design6. What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3?A. He liked to help his teacher.B. He preferred to study alone.C. He was active in class.D. He wasimaginative.7. What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Mistake.B. Drawback.C. Difficulty.D. Burden.8. Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams?A. To help themto see their creativity.B. To find outabout their sleeping habits.C. To help them to improve their memory.D. To find out about their ways of thinking.CReading can be a social activity. Think of thepeople who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet todiscuss them. Now, the website turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.Members go on the site and register the books theyown and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number tostick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping thatthe book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new readerwho finds it.Bruce Pederson, the managingdirector of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are thepeople you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”Members leave books on parkbenches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their bookwill go to the site and record where they found it.People who find a book can alsoleave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sentto the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have beenfound. Bruce peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keepinga book to gather dust on a shelf at home. zxx.kBookCrossing is part of a trendamong people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual(虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundredthirty-five countries.9. Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?A. To explain what they are.B.To introduce BookCrossing.C. To stress the importance of reading.D. To encourage readers to share their ideas.10. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2refer to?A. Thebook.B.An adventure.C.A public place.D. Theidentification number.11. What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it?A. Meet other readers to discussit.B.Keep it safe in his bookcase.C. Pass it on to another reader.D.Mail it back to its owner.12. What is the best title for the text?A. Online Reading: A VirtualTourB. Electronic Books: A newTrendC. A Book Group Brings Tradition BackD. A Website Links People through BooksDA new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyageback to life.Frank Hurley’s pictures would be outstanding----undoubtedlyfirst-rate photo-journalism---if they had been made last week. In fact, theywere shot from 1914 through 1916, most of them after a disastrous shipwreck(海滩), by a cameraman who had noreasonable expectation of survival. Many of the images were stored in an icechest, under freezing water, in the damaged wooden ship.Theship was the Endurance, a small, tight, Norwegian-built three-master that wasintended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen andscientists, 27 men in all, to the southernmost shore of Antarctica’s WeddellSea. From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled(雪橇) across the continent. Thejourney was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott haddone. Captain Scotthad reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died withhis four companions on the march back.Aswriter Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched storyThe Endurance, adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort.Scott’s last journey, completed as be lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger,caught the world’s imagination, and a film made in his honor drew crowds.Shackleton, a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100miles of the South Pole in 1908, started a business before his 1914 voyage tomake money from movie and still photography. Frank Hurley, a confident andgifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic, was hired to make theimages, most of which have never before been published.13. What do we know about the photos takenby Hurley?A.They were made last weekB.They showed undersea sceneriesC.They were found by a cameramanD.They recorded a disastrous adventure14. Who reached the South Pole firstaccording to the text?A.Frank HurleyB. ErnestShackletonC.Robert Falcon ScottD. CarolineAlexander15. What does Alexander think was thepurpose of the 1914 voyage?A.Artistic creationB. ScientificresearchC.Money makingD. Treasure hunting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。

AChoice of Walks for Beginner and Experienced WalkersThe Carlow Autumn Walking Festival is a great opportunity for the beginner, experienced or advanced walker to enjoy the challenges of Carlow’s mountain hikes or the peace of its woodland walks.

Bring along your camera and enjoy the wonderful views along this well-surfaced forest path.Date and Time: Sunday, 2nd October, at 11:45Start Point: Kilbrannish Forest Recreation AreaWalk Duration: 1.5 hours1.Which walk takes the shortest time?A.The Natural World. B.Introduction to Hillwalking. C.Moonlight Under the Stars. D.Photographic Walk in Kilbrannish Forest.2.What are participants in Walk 3 required to do?A.Wear proper clothes. B.Join a walking club.C.Get special permits. D.Bring a survival guide.3.What do the four walks have in common?A.They involve difficult climbing. B.They are for experienced walkers. C.They share the same start point. D.They are scheduled for the weekend.BDo you ever get to the train station and realize you forgot to bring something to read? Yes, we all have our phones, but many of us still like to go old schooland read something printed.Well, there’s a kiosk (小亭) for that. In the San Francisco Bay Area, at least.“You enter the fare gates (检票口) and you’ll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a one-minute, a three-minute, or a five-minute story,”says Alicia Trost, the chief communications officer for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit — known as BART. “You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story.”It’s that simple. Riders have printed nearly 20,000 short stories and poems since the program was launched last March. Some are classic short stories, and some are new original works.Trost also wants to introduce local writers to local riders. “We wanted to do something where we do a call to artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest,” Trost says. “And as of right now, we’ve received about 120 submissions. The winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist.”Ridership on transit (交通) systems across the country has been down the past half century, so could short stories save transit?Trost thinks so.“At the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to improve the rider experience. So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories,” she says.And you’ll never be without something to read.4.Why did BART start the kiosk program?A.To promote the local culture. B.To discourage phone use.C.To meet passengers’ needs. D.To reduce its running costs.5.How are the stories categorized in the kiosk?A.By popularity. B.By length.C.By theme. D.By language.6.What has Trost been doing recently?A.Organizing a story contest. B.Doing a survey of customers. C.Choosing a print publisher. D.Conducting interviews with artists.3 / 277.What is Trost’s opinion about BART’s future?A.It will close down. B.Its profits will decline.C.It will expand nationwide. D.Its ridership will increase.CWe all know fresh is best when it comes to food. However, most produce at the store went through weeks of travel and covered hundreds of miles before reaching the table. While farmer’s markets are a solid choice to reduce the journey, Babylon Micro-Farm (BMF) shortens it even more.BMF is an indoor garden system. It can be set up for a family. Additionally, it could serve a larger audience such as a hospital, restaurant or school. The innovative design requires little effort to achieve a reliable weekly supply of fresh greens.Specifically, it’s a farm that relies on new technology. By connecting through the Cloud, BMF is remotely monitored. Also, there is a convenient app that provides growing data in real time. Because the system is automated, it significantly reduces the amount of water needed to grow plants. Rather than watering rows of soil, the system provides just the right amount to each plant. After harvest, users simply replace the plants with a new pre-seeded pod (容器) to get the next growth cycle started.Moreover, having a system in the same building where it’s eaten means zero emissions (排放) from transporting plants from soil to salad. In addition, there’s no need for pesticides and other chemicals that pollute traditional farms and the surrounding environment.BMF employees live out sustainability in their everyday lives. About half of them walk or bike to work. Inside the office, they encourage recycling and waste reduction by limiting garbage cans and avoiding single-use plastic. “We are passionate about reducing waste, carbon and chemicals in our environment,” said a BMF employee.8.What can be learned about BMF from paragraph 1?A.It guarantees the variety of food. B.It requires day-to-day care.C.It cuts the farm-to-table distance. D.It relies on farmer’s markets. 9.What information does the convenient app offer?A.Real-time weather changes. B.Current condition of the plants. C.Chemical pollutants in the soil. D.Availability of pre-seeded pods. 10.What can be concluded about BMF employees?A.They have a great passion for sports.B.They are devoted to community service.C.They are fond of sharing daily experiences.D.They have a strong environmental awareness.11.What does the text mainly talk about?A.BMF’s major strengths. B.BMF’s general management. C.BMF’s global influence. D.BMF’s technical standards.DGiven the astonishing potential of AI to transform our lives, we all need to take action to deal with our AI-powered future, and this is where AI by Design: A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence comes in. This absorbing new book by Catriona Campbell is a practical roadmap addressing the challenges posed by the forthcoming AI revolution (变革).In the wrong hands, such a book could prove as complicated to process as the computer code (代码) that powers AI but, thankfully, Campbell has more than two decades’ professional experience translating the heady into the understandable. She writes from the practical angle of a business person rather than as an academic, making for a guide which is highly accessible and informative and which, by the close, will make you feel almost as smart as AI.As we soon come to learn from AI by Design, AI is already super-smart and will become more capable, moving from the current generation of “narrow-AI” to Artificial General Intelligence. From there, Campbell says, will come Artificial Dominant Intelligence. This is why Campbell has set out to raise awareness of AI5 / 27and its future now-several decades before these developments are expected to take place. She says it is essential that we keep control of artificial intelligence, or risk being sidelined and perhaps even worse.Campbell’s point is to wake up those responsible for AI-the technology companies and world leaders-so they are on the same page as all the experts currently developing it. She explains we are at a “tipping point” in history and must act now to prevent an extinction-level event for humanity. We need to consider how we want our future with Al to pan out. Such structured thinking, followed by global regulation, will enable us to achieve greatness rather than our downfall.AI will affect us all, and if you only read one book on the subject, this is it.12.What does the phrase “In the wrong hands” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A.If read by someone poorly educated. B.If reviewed by someone ill-intentioned. C.If written by someone less competent. D.If translated by someone unacademic.13.What is a feature of AI by Design according to the text?A.It is packed with complex codes. B.It adopts a down-to-earth writing style. C.It provides step-by-step instructions. D.It is intended for AI professionals.14.What does Campbell urge people to do regarding AI development?A.Observe existing regulations on it.B.Reconsider expert opinions about it.C.Make joint efforts to keep it under control.D.Learn from prior experience to slow it down.15.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A.To recommend a book on AI. B.To give a brief account of AI history. C.To clarify the definition of AI. D.To honor an outstanding AI expert.第二节(共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分)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。

Street Art Camp.BThe end of the school year was in sight and spirits were high. I was back teaching after an absence of 15 years, dealing with the various kinds of "forbidden fruit" that come out of book bags. Now was the spring of the water pistol.I decided to think up a method of dealing with forbidden fruit."Please bring that pistol to me " I said. "I'm going to put it in my Grandma's Box.""What's that?" they asked."It's a large wooden chest full of toys for my grandchildren " I replied,"You don't have grandchildren," someone said."I don't now." I replied. "But someday I will. When I do, my box will be full of wonderful things for them."My imaginary Grandma's Box worked like magic that spring, and later. Sometimes. students would ask me to describe all the things I had in it. Then I would try to remember the different possessions I supposedly had taken away—since I seldom actually kept them. Usually the offender would appear at the end of the day, and I would return the belonging.The-years went by, and my first grandchild Gordon was born. I shared my joy with that year's class. Then someone said, "Now you can use your Grandma's Box." From then on instead of coming to ask their possessions back, the students would say, "That's okay. Put it in your Grandma's Box for Gordon."I loved talking about the imaginary box, not only with my students but also with my own children. They enjoyed hearing about all the forbidden fruit I had collected. Then one Christmas I received a surprise gift—a large, beautifully made wooden chest. My son Bruce had made my Grandma's Box a reality.4. What was the author's purpose in having the conversation with the students?A. To collect the water pistol.B. To talk about her grandchildren.C. To recommend some toys.D. To explain her teaching method.5. What do the underlined words "the offender" in paragraph 8 refer to?A. The student's parent.B. The maker of the Grandma's Box.C The author's grandchild.D. The owner of the forbidden fruit.6. What did the students do after they learned about the birth of Gordon?A. They went to play with the baby.B. They asked to see the Grandma's Box.C. They made a present for Gordon.D. They stopped asking their toys back.7. What can we infer about the author?A. She enjoys telling jokes.B. She is a strict and smart teacher.C. She loves doing woodwork.D. She is a responsible grandmotherCIn May 1987 the Golden Gate Bridge had a 50th birthday party. The bridge was closed to motor traffic so people could enjoy a walk across it. Organizers expected perhaps 50,000 people to show up. Instead, as many as 800, 000 crowded the roads to the bridge. By the time 250,000 were on the bridge, engineers noticed something terrible:the roadway was flattening under what turned out to be the heaviest load it had ever been asked to carry. Worse, it was beginning to sway(晃动). The authoritiesclosed access to the bridge and tens of thousands of people made their way back to land. A disaster was avoided.The story is one of scores in To Forgive Design:Understanding Failure, a book that is at once a love letter to engineering and a paean(赞歌)to its breakdowns. Its author, Dr. Henry Petroski, has long been writing about disasters. In this book, he includes the loss of the space shuttles(航天飞机)Challenger and Columbia, and the sinking of the Titanic.Though he acknowledges that engineering works can fail because the person who thought them up or engineered them simply got things wrong, in this book Dr. Petroski widens his view toconsider the larger context in which such failures occur. Sometimes devices fail because a good design is constructed with low quality materials incompetently applied. Or perhaps a designworks so well it is adopted elsewhere again and again, with seemingly harmless improvements, until, suddenly, it does not work at all anymore.Readers will encounter not only stories they have heard before, but some new stories and a moving discussion of the responsibility of the engineer to the public and the ways young engineers can be helped to grasp them."Success is success but that is all that it is," Dr. Petroski writes. It is failure that bringsimprovement.8. What happened to the Golden Gate Bridge on its 50th birthday?A. It carried more weight than it could.B. It swayed violently in a strong windC. Its roadway was damaged by vehiclesD. Its access was blocked by many people.9 Which of the following is Dr. Petroski's idea according to paragraph 3?A. No design is well received everywhereB. Construction is more important than design.C. Not all disasters are caused by engineering designD. Improvements on engineering works are necessary.10. What does the last paragraph suggest?A. Failure can lead to progress.B. Success results in overconfidenceC. Failure should be avoided.D. Success comes from joint efforts.11. What is the text?A. A news reportB. A short story.C. A book reviewD. A research article.DRainforests are home to a rich variety of medicinal plants, food, birds and animals. Can you believe that a single bush(灌⽊丛)in the Amazon may have more species of ants than the whole of Britain!About 480 varieties of trees may be found in just one hectare of rainforest.Rainforests are the lungs of the planet-storing vast quantities of carbon dioxide and producing a significant amount of the world's oxygen. Rainforests have their own perfect system for ensuring their own survival; the tall trees make a canopy(树冠层)of branches and leaves which protect themselves, smaller plants, and the forest animals from heavy rain, intense dry heat from the sun and strong winds.Amazingly, the trees grow in such a way that their leaves and branches, although close together, never actually touch those of another tree. Scientists think this is the plants' way to prevent the spread of any tree diseases and make life more difficult for leaf-eating insects like caterpillars. To survive in the forest, animals must climb, jump or fly across the gaps. The ground floor of theforest is not all tangled leaves and bushes, like in films, but is actually fairly clear. It is wheredead leaves turn into food for the trees and other forest life.They are not called rainforests for nothing! Rainforests can generate 75%of their own rain. At least 80 inches of rain a year is normal-and in some areas there may be as much as 430 inches of rain annually. This is real rain-your umbrella may protect you in a shower, but it won't keep you dry if there is a full rainstorm. In just two hours, streams can rise ten to twenty feet. The humidity(湿⽊)of large rainforests contributes to the formation of rainclouds that may travel to other countries in need of rain.12. What can we learn about rainforests from the first paragraph?A. They produce oxygen.B. They cover a vast area.C. They are well managed.D. They are rich in wildlife.13. Which of the following contributes most to the survival of rainforests?A. Heavy rainsB. Big trees.C. Small plants.D. Forest animals.14. Why do the leaves and branches of different trees avoid touching each other?A. For more sunlight.B. For more growing space.C. For self-protection.D. For the detection of insects.15. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Life-Giving RainforestsB. The Law of the JungleC. Animals in the AmazonD.

BFive years ago, whe n I taught art at a school in Seattle, I used Tin kertoys as a test at the begi nning of a term to find out somethi ng about my stude nts. I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said: ” Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minu tes today —and 45mi nu tes each day for the rest of the week. ”A few stude nts hesitated to start. They waited to see what the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the in structio ns and made someth ing accord ing to one of the model pla ns provided. Ano ther group built someth ing out of their own imagi nati ons.Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His con struct ions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was delighted at the prese nee of such a stude nt. Here was an excepti on ally creative mind at work. His prese nee meant that I had an un expected teach ing assista nt in class whose creativity would infect感染)other stude nts.En courag ing this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of los ing those stude nts who had a differe nt style oth inking. Without fail one would declare, “ ButI ' m just not creative. ”“ Do you dream at night when you ' re asleep? ”Oh, sure.“ So tell me one of your most interesting dreams. ” The student would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads.“ That' s pretty creative. Who does that for you? ”“ Nobody. I do it. ”“ Really —at night, when you ' re asleep? ”“Sure. ”“ Try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay? ”25. The teacher used Ti nkertoys in class in order to _______ ?A. know more about the stude ntsB. make the less ons moreexcit ingC. raise the stude nts ' in terest in artD. teach the stude nts abouttoy desig n26. What do we know about the boy men tio ned in Paragraph 3?A. He liked to help his teacher.B. He preferred to studyalone.C. He was active in class.D. He was imagi native.27. What does the underlined word “ downside ” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Mistake.B. Drawback.C. Difficulty.D. Burde n.28. Why did the teacher ask the stude nts to talk about their dreams?A. To help them to see their creativity.B. To find out about theirsleep ing habits.C. To help them to improve their memory.D. To find out about theirways of thi nking.CRead ing can be a social activity. Think of the people who bel ong to book groups. They choose books to read and the n meet to discuss them. Now, the website BookCross in tur ns the page on the traditi onal idea of a book group.Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCross ing provides an ide ntificati on nu mber to stick in side the book. Then the pers on leaves it in a public place, hop ing that the book will have an adve nture, traveli ng far and wide with each new reader who fin ds_it.Bruce Peders on, the managing director of BokCross ing, says, “ The two thi ngs that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing comb ines both. ”Members leave books on park ben ches and buses, in train stati ons and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describ ing what they thought of it. E-mails are the n sent to the BookCross ing to keep them updated about where their books have bee n found. Bruce Peters on says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keep ing a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.BookCross ing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real not the virtual(虚拟).The site now has more tha n one millio n members in more tha n one hun dred thirty-five coun tries.29. Why does the author men ti on book groups in the first paragraph?A. To expla in what they are.B. To in troduceBookCross ing.C. To stress the importa nee of read ing.D. To en courage readers toshare their ideas.30. What does the underlined word “ it ” in Paragraph 2refer to?A. The book.B. An adve nture.C.A public place.D. The ide ntificatio n nu mber.31. What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it?A. Meet other readers to discuss it.B. Keep it safe in hisbookcase.C. Pass it on to ano ther reader.D. Mail it back to its owner.32. What is the best title for the text?A. On li ne Read ing: A Virtual TourB. Electro nic Books: A newTrendC. A Book Group Brings Traditio n BackD. A Website Li nks Peoplethrough BooksDA new collecti on of photos brings an un successful An tarctic voyage back to life.Frank Hurley ' spictures would be outstanding —undoubtedlyfirst-rate photo-jour nalism —if they had bee n made last week. In fact, they were shot from 1914 through 1916, most of them after a disastrous shipwreck海难),by a camerama n who had no reas on able expectati on of survival. Many of the images were stored in an ice chest, un der freez ing water, i n the damaged woode n ship.The ship was the En dura nee a small, tight, Norwegia n-built three-master that was inten ded to take Sir Ern est Shacklet on and a small crew of seame n and scie ntists, 27 men in all, to the southernmostshore of Antarctica W eddell Sea.
