AWhen I decided to quit my job as a wedding photographer, I was in my late twenties, fresh from my divorce from Bob who had left me empty and confused. I decided to leave the US and travel. I had no savings, plus more than $5,000 in debt. What I did have were two sponsored tasks as a travel photographer- and with that along, I thought, it would be easy.My first experience was a road trip from Toronto to Las Vegas, paid for by a car delivery service. Other trips followed and then I started a travel blog (博客). It was intended to be my calling card for assignment travel photography. Yet even with my blog and past experience, email after email I sent to publications, trying to get work, went unanswered. When they did get in touch, editors told me that I had no chance of making a career with travel photography. While I struggled to get on the path that I wanted, and as I expanded my blog to help get me there, I found myself wearing the hat of a full-time blogger.Luckily, I got in at the right time. It was 2010，and the travel industry was just starting to turn its attention to bloggers. As I never could have predicted, my blogging-not my photography-did take me around the world successfully. At first，I thought it was for personal reasons, but I realized later that it was for free marketing for my blogging.Within two years, I was being asked to speak at travel blogging conferences, which helped me to raise a network of friends around the world. Even more meaningful, however, was when Isaw that my travels were also helping other people. My blog and social media followers saw that I chased my dreams and told me over and over again how they needed that kind of example, which was absent in their lives elsewhere.1. After the author quit her job, she decided to ______.A. divorce her husbandB. be a wedding photographerC. pay off all her debtD. go travelling abroad2. What can we learn about the author from the 2nd paragraph?A. She paid money to a car delivery agency for a road trip.B. She realized her dream of becoming a travel photographer.C. She got a job as an editor in a publishing house.D. She finally became a professional blogger unintentionally.3. The author believed her success mainly resulted from ______.A. her personal reasonsB. her photographing skillsC. free marketing for bloggingD. booming of travel industryB“Can’t hold a candle to” is a popular expression．When there wasn’t electricity, someone would have a servant light his way by holding a candle．The expression meant that the person who cannot hold a candle to you is not fit even to be your servant．Now，it means such a person cannot compare or compete．Another expression is“hold your tongue．”It means to be still and not talk．“Hold your tongue”is not something you would tell a friend．But a parent or teacher might use the expression to quiet a noisy child．“Hold out”is an expression one hears often in sports reports and labor news．It means to refuse to play or work．Professional football and baseball players“hold out” if their team refuses to pay them what they think they are worth．The expression“hold up” has several different meanings．One is a robbery．A man with a gun may say,“This is a hold up．Give me your money．”Another meaning is to delay．A driver who was held up by heavy traffic might be late for work．Another meaning is for a story to be considered true after an investigation．A story can hold up if it is proved true．“Hold on”is another expression，which means wait or stop．As you leave for school，yourbrother may say,“Hold on，you forgot your book．” It is used to ask a telephone caller to wait and not hang up his telephone．Our final expression is“hold the line．”That means to keep a problem or situation from getting worse—to hold steady．For example，the president may say he will“hold the line on taxes．”He means there will be no increase in taxes．4. The expression“can’t hold a candle to”can be used when ____________．A. some footballers refuse to play a gameB. someone else is wanted on the phoneC. someone is not qualified for a positionD. someone was delayed by heavy traffic5.

I promise to hold the line on house prices．CA team of engineers at Harvard University has been inspired by Nature to create the first robotic fly. The mechanical fly has become a platform for a series of new high-tech integrated systems. Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.“It’s extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sum of a bunch of individual components (元件),” said Robert Wood, the Harvard engineering professor who has been working on the robotic fly project for over a decade. A few years ago, his team got the go-ahead to start piecing together the components. “The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of those components are off the shelf and so we have to develop them allon our own,” he said.They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of interdependencies on the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything it’s connected to,” said Wood. The flight device was built into a set of power, computation, sensing and control systems. Wood says the success of the project proves that the flying robot with these tiny components can be built and manufactured.While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, off-board power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a built-in power source, so that it might someday perform data-gathering work at rescue sites, in farmers’ fields or on the battlefield. “Basically it should be able to take off, land and fly around,” he said.Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect-scale. Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications. “You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead,” he said. “So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a day to day basis.”8. The difficulty the team of engineers met with while making the robotic fly was that __________.A. they had no model in their mindB. they did not have sufficient timeC. they had no ready-made componentsD. they could not assemble the components9. It can be inferred from paragraphs 3 and 4 that the robotic fly __________.A. consists of a flight device and a control systemB. can just fly in limited areas at the present timeC. can collect information from many sourcesD. has been put into wide application10. Which of the following can be learned from the passage?A. The robotic flyer is designed to learn about insects.B. Animals are not allowed in biological experiments.C. There used to be few ways to study how insects fly.D. Wood’s design can replace animals in some experiments.11. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Father of Robotic FlyB. Inspiration from Engineering ScienceC. Robotic Fly Imitates Real Life InsectD. Harvard Breaks Through in Insect StudyDWhy You Should Celebrate Your MistakesWhen you make a mistake, big or small, cherish(珍视) it like it's the most precious thing in the world, because in some ways, it is.Most of us feel bad when we make mistakes, beat ourselves up about it, feel like failures, get mad at ourselves.And that's only natural: most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad, that we should try to avoid mistakes. We've been scolded when we make mistakes at home, school and work. Maybe not always, but probably enough times to make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.Yet without mistakes, we could not learn or grow. If you think about it that way, mistakes should be cherished and celebrated for being one of the most amazing things in the world: they make learning possible; they make growth and improvement possible.By trial and error-trying things, making mistakes, and learning from those mistakes-we have figured out how to make electric light, to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, to fly.Mistakes make walking possible for the smallest toddler, make speech possible, make works of genius possible.Think about how we learn: we don't just consume information about something and instantly know it or know how to do it. You don't just read about painting, or writing, or computer programming, or baking, or playing the piano, and know how to do them right away. Instead, you get information about something, from reading or from another person or from observing usually...then you construct a model in your mind...then you test it out by trying it in the realworld...then you make mistakes...then you revise the model based on the results of your real-world experimentation and repeat, making mistakes, learning from those mistakes, until you've pretty much learned how to do something. That's how we learn as babies and toddlers, and how we learn as adults. Mistakes are how we learn to do something new, because if you succeed in something, it's probably something you already knew how to do. You haven't really grown much from that success---at most it's the last step on your journey, not the whole journey. Most of the journey was made up of mistakes, if it's a good journey.So if you value learning, if you value growing and improving, then you should value mistakes. They are amazing things that make a world of brilliance possible.12. Why do most of us feel bad about making mistakes?A. Because mistakes make us suffer a lot.B. Because it's a natural part in our life.C. Because we've been taught so from a young age.D. Because mistakes have ruined many people's careers.13. According to the passage, what is the right attitude to mistakes?A. We should try to avoid making mistakes.B. We should owe great inventions mainly to mistakes.C. We should treat mistakes as good chances to learn.D. We should make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.14. The underlined word "toddler" in Paragraph 6 probably means __________.A. a small child learning to walkB. a kindergarten child learning to drawC. a primary school pupil learning to readD. a school teenager learning to write15. We can learn from the passage that __________.A. most of us can really grow from successB. growing and improving are based on mistakesC. we learn to make mistakes by trial and errorD. we read about something and know how to do it right away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。

The mechanical fly has become a platform for a series of new high-tech integrated systems. Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.“It’s extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sum of a bunch of individual components (元件),”said Robert Wood, the Harvard engineering professor who has been working on the robotic fly project for over a decade. A few years ago, his team got the go-ahead to start piecing together the components. “The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of those components are off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own,” he said.They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of interdependencies on the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything it’s connected to,” said Wood. The flight device was built into a set of power, computation, sensing and control systems. Wood says the success of the project proves that the flying robot with these tiny components can be built and manufactured.While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, off-board power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a built-in power source, so that it might someday perform data-gathering work at rescue sites, in farmers’ fields or on the battlefield. “Basically it should be able to take off, land and fly around,” he said.Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect-scale. Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications. “You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead,” he said. “So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a day to day basis.”8. The difficulty the team of engineers met with while making the robotic fly was that __________.A. they had no model in their mindB. they did not have sufficient timeC. they had no ready-made componentsD. they could not assemble the components9. It can be inferred from paragraphs 3 and 4 that the robotic fly __________.A. consists of a flight device and a control systemB. can just fly in limited areas at the present timeC. can collect information from many sourcesD. has been put into wide application10. Which of the following can be learned from the passage?A. The robotic flyer is designed to learn about insects.B. Animals are not allowed in biological experiments.C. There used to be few ways to study how insects fly.D. Wood’s design can replace animals in some experiments.11. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Father of Robotic FlyB. Inspiration from Engineering ScienceC. Robotic Fly Imitates Real Life InsectD. Harvard Breaks Through in Insect StudyDWhy You Should Celebrate Your MistakesWhen you make a mistake, big or small, cherish(珍视) it like it's the most precious thing in the world, because in some ways, it is.Most of us feel bad when we make mistakes, beat ourselves up about it, feel like failures, get mad at ourselves.And that's only natural: most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad, that we should try to avoid mistakes. We've been scolded when we make mistakes at home, school and work. Maybe not always, but probably enough times to make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.Yet without mistakes, we could not learn or grow. If you think about it that way, mistakes should be cherished and celebrated for being one of the most amazing things in the world: they make learning possible; they make growth and improvement possible.By trial and error-trying things, making mistakes, and learning from those mistakes-we have figured out how to make electric light, to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, to fly.Mistakes make walking possible for the smallest toddler, make speech possible, make works of genius possible.Think about how we learn: we don't just consume information about something and instantly know it or know how to do it. You don't just read about painting, or writing, or computer programming, or baking, or playing the piano, and know how to do them right away. Instead, you get information about something, from reading or from another person or from observing usually...then you construct a model in your mind...then you test it out by trying it in the real world...then you make mistakes...then you revise the model based on the results of your real-world experimentation and repeat, making mistakes, learning from those mistakes, until you've pretty much learned how to do something. That's how we learn as babies and toddlers, and how we learn as adults. Mistakes are how we learn to do something new, because if you succeed in something, it's probably something you already knew how to do. You haven't really grown much from that success---at most it's the last step on your journey, not the whole journey. Most of the journey was made up of mistakes, if it's a good journey.So if you value learning, if you value growing and improving, then you should value mistakes. They are amazing things that make a world of brilliance possible.12. Why do most of us feel bad about making mistakes?A. Because mistakes make us suffer a lot.B. Because it's a natural part in our life.C. Because we've been taught so from a young age.D. Because mistakes have ruined many people's careers.13. According to the passage, what is the right attitude to mistakes?A. We should try to avoid making mistakes.B. We should owe great inventions mainly to mistakes.C. We should treat mistakes as good chances to learn.D. We should make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.14. The underlined word "toddler" in Paragraph 6 probably means __________.A. a small child learning to walkB. a kindergarten child learning to drawC. a primary school pupil learning to readD. a school teenager learning to write15. We can learn from the passage that __________.A. most of us can really grow from successB. growing and improving are based on mistakesC. we learn to make mistakes by trial and errorD. we read about something and know how to do it right away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。

AIn October 2010, I left my hometown and family in Virginia and moved to Iowa so I could be coached by Liang Chow. I'd been dreaming of an Olympic gold medal since I was eight — but gradually, that dream seemed like a million miles away.On January 2, 2012, while Mom was visiting me in Iowa, I told her, “I don't like gymnastics anymore. I want to try dancing, or become a singer. I can get a job in Virginia. I just want to come home.”Mom's eyes narrowed and her expression turned to stone. “You're breaking my heart, Brie,” she said. “You've been doing gymnastics for ten years, and now you want to quit? Have you lost your mind?”I hadn't lost my mind, but I had lost my fire. It's an entirely different thing to push toward that dream when you feel alone.“I'm not trying to break your heart, Mom,” I said. “I just don't want to do it anymore.”“I know you miss home. But you've signed a contract that says you will represent you r country to the best of your ability. You've got a responsibility to your teammates. And now you just want to walk away? I will not let you be dishonorable. If you don't like gymnastics, then at the very least, you will finish the season.”The next afternoon as I dragged myself into Chow's gym, I thought of the efforts Mom had made in order to pay for my training. I thought of my two sisters: Arielle, who gave up ballroom dancing, and Joyelle, who stopped ice skating so that our single mom could afford to keep me in gymnastics.For now, here's what you need to know: Exactly 210 days before I ever attempted my first vault (跳跃) in the London Summer Olympics, my leap of faith came this close to ending in a crash of disaster.1. The author wanted to give up gymnastics because _____.A. she thought she loved music moreB. she was overcome with homesicknessC. an Olympic gold was beyond her reachD. the training for the Olympics was too hard2. We can infer from the passage that the author _____.A. was born into an athletic familyB. realized her Olympic dreamC. changed her mind in the endD. had a bad childhood3. What would be the best title for the passage?A. My leap of faithB. A quitterC. My motherD. A dream come trueBLong-time exposure to air pollution can lead to physical changes in the brain and cause trouble in learning and memory, and even anxiety. This is suggested by the results of new research on mice.While other studies have shown the harmful effects of polluted air in the lungs and heart, this is the first to show the negative effect on the brain.The team of Laura Fonken, Randy Nelson, from the Ohio State University, USA, has spread to the brain a previous line of research which found that fine particulate (微粒) matter floating in the air mainly because of air pollution caused by humans, causes swelling in much of the body, and may be related to high blood pressure problems, and some other diseases.In the research Fonken and his colleagues exposed mice to polluted air for six hours each day, five days a week, over a period of 10 months, almost half the average life length of mice.Polluted air contains fine particles created by cars, factories and natural dust. Fine particles of this kind are tiny, about 2.5 micrometers in diameter, or about one-thirtieth the width of a human hair. These particles can go deep into lungs and other organs.The concentration of this particulate material to which they exposed mice is equal to the concentration at which people can be exposed in some polluted urban areas.After a period of 10 months, the researchers got the animals to have a series of behavioral tests. Both the behavior of mice and the results of neurological (神经的) tests done to them show that those within the polluted air had more problems in learning and memory, and higher levels of anxiety.The results suggest that long-time exposure to polluted air can have measurable negative effects on the human brain and can cause a variety of mental health problems. This could have important consequences for those living and working in polluted urban areas.4．The results of new research on mice first suggest that polluted air mainly does harm to _________ .A．normal organs B．lungs and heart C．mental health D．blood pressure 5．The bad effects of tiny particles in polluted air are those Except ___________ .A．high blood pressure problems B．making human hair thinnerC．different kinds of diseases D．swelling in much of the body 6．From the last sentence we can infer that people living in polluted urban areas ___________ .A．are likely to suffer from mental problems B．can measure the negative effect on them C．show little concern for air pollution D．can be exposed to polluted air longer 7．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A．Long-time Exposure to Air Pollution B．Evidence and Concern of Air Pollution C．Measurable Effect on Human Brain D．Mental Problems Caused by Air PollutionCFrom the very beginning of school we make books and reading a constant source of possible failure and public humiliation. When children are little we make them read aloud, before the teacher and other children, so that we can be sure they “know” all the words they are reading. Thismeans that when they don’t know a word, they are going to make a mistake, right in front of everyone. After having taught fifth-grade classes for four years, I decided to try at all costs to rid them of their fear and dislike of books, and to get them to read oftener and more adventurously.One day soon after school had started, I said to them, “Now I’m going to say something about reading that you have probably never heard a teacher say before. I would like you to read a lot of books this year, but I want you to read them only for pleasure. I am not going to ask you questions to find out whether you understand the books or not. If you understand enough of a book to enjoy it and want to go on reading it, that’s enough for me. Also I’m not going to ask you what words mean. “The children sat stunned and silent. Was this a teacher talking? One girl, who had just come to us from a school where she had had a very hard time, looked at me steadily for a long time after I had finished. Then, still looking at me, she said slowly and seriously, “Mr. Holt, do you really mean that?” I said just as seriously, “I mean every word of it.”During the spring she really astonished me. One day, she was reading at her desk, From a glimpse of the illustrations I thought I knew what the book was. I said to myself, “It can’t be,” and went to take a closer look. Sure enough, she was reading Moby Dick , in edition with woodcuts. I said, “Don’t you find parts of it rather heavy going?” She answered, “Oh, sure, but I just skip over those parts and go on to the next good part. ”This is exactly what reading should be and in school so seldom is—an exciting, joyous adventure. Find something, dive into it, take the good parts, skip the bad parts, get what you can out of it, go on to something else. How different is our mean-spirited, picky insistence that every child get every last little scrap of “understanding” that can be dug out of a book.8. According to the passage, children’s fear and dislike of books may result from________.A. reading little and thinking littleB. reading often and adventurouslyC. being made to read too muchD. being made to read aloud before others9. Upon hearing the teacher’s talk, the children probably felt that________.A. it sounded stupidB. it was not surprising at allC. it sounded too good to be trueD. it was no different from other teachers' talk10. Which of the following statements about the girl is TRUE according to the passage?A. She skipped over those easy parts while reading.B. She had a hard time finishing the required reading tasks.C. She learned to appreciate some parts of the difficult books.D. She turned out to be a top student after coming to this school.11. From the teacher's point of view,_________ .A. children cannot tell good parts from bad parts while readingB. children should be left to decide what to read and how to readC. reading is never a pleasant and inspiring experience in schoolD. reading involves understanding every little piece of informationDIf you know exactly what you want, the best route to a job is to get specialized training. A recent survey shows that companies like graduates in such fields as business and health care who can go to work immediately with very little on-the-job training.That’s especially true of booming fields that are challenging for workers. At Cornell’s School of Hotel Administration, for example, bachelor’s degree graduates get an average of four or five job offers and plenty of chances for rapid advancement. Large companies, especially, like abackground of formal education coupled with work experience.But in the long run, too much specialization doesn’t pay off. Business, which has been flooded with MBAs, no longer considers the degree an automatic stamp of approval. The MBA may open doors and command a higher salary in the first place, but the impact of a degree washes out after five years.As further evidence of the erosion (销蚀) of corporate (公司的) faith in specialized degrees, Michigan State’s Scheetz states a pattern in corporate hiring practices, although companies tend to take on specialists as new hires, they often seek out generalists for middle and upper-level management. “They want someone who isn’t limited by nuts and bolts to look at the big picture, ” says Scheetz.Time and again labor-market analysts mention a need for talents that liberal-arts majors are thought to have: writing and communication skills, organizational skills, open-mindedness and adaptability, and the ability to analyze and solve problems, David Birch claims he does not hire anybody with an MBA or an engineering degree, “I hire only liberal-arts people because they have a less-than-canned way of doing things,” says Birch. Liberal-arts means an academically thorough and strict program that includes literature, history, mathematics, economics, science, human behavior—plus a computer course or two. With that under your belt, you can feel free to specialize, “A liberal-arts degree coupled with an MBA or some other technical training is a very good comb ination in the marketplace,” says Scheetz.12. What kinds of people are in high demand on the job market?A. Students with a bachelor’s degree in humanities.B. People with an MBA degree front top universities.C. People with formal schooling plus work experience.D. People with special training in engineering.13. By saying “...but the impact of a degree washes out after five years”, the author means ________.A. most MBA programs fail to provide students with a solid foundationB. an MBA degree does not help promotion to managerial positionsC. MBA programs will not be as popular in five years’ time as they are nowD. in five years people will forget about the degree the MBA graduates have got.14. David Birch claims that he only hires liberal-arts people because ________.A. they are more capable of handling changing situationsB. they can stick to established ways of solving problemsC. they are thoroughly trained in a variety of specialized fieldsD. they have attended special programs in management.15. Which of the following statements does the author support?A. Specialists are more expensive to hire than generalists.B. Formal schooling is less important than job training.C. On-the-job training is, in the long run, less costly.D. Generalists will do better than specialists in management.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。

But Lola Walter, a 13-year-old gymnast, is an expert at it.To perfect her skills, Lola 21 for four hours a day, five days a week. At the state championships in March, she finished seventh out of 16 girls. That’s especially impressive, 22 she is legally blind, born with a rare condition that causes her eyes to shift constantly. She often sees double and can’t 23 how far away things are.When she was little, her mom 24 that even though she couldn’t see 25 , she was fearless. So her mom signed her up for gymnastics when she was three. She loved the 26 right away and gymnastics became her favorite. Though learning gymnastics has been more 27 for her than for some of her tournaments, she has never quit. She doesn’t let her 28 stop her from doing anything that she wants to.She likes the determination it takes to do the sport. Her biggest 29 is the balance beam. Because she has double vision, she often sees two beams. She must use her sense of touch to help her during her routine. Sometimes she even closes her eyes. “You have to 30 your mind that it’ll take you where you want to go,” sa ys Lola.To be a top-level gymnast, one must be brave. The beam is probably the most 31 for anyone because it’s four inches wide. At the state competition, Lola didn’t 32 the beam. In fact, she got an 8.1 out of 10 — her highest score yet. Lola doesn’t want to be 33 differently from the other girls on her team. At the competitions, the judges don’t know about her vision 34 . She doesn’t tell them, because she doesn’t think they need to know. Her mom is amazed by her 35 attitude.Lola never thinks about 36 . She is presently at level 7 while the highest is level 10 in gymnastics. Her 37 is to reach level 9. She says she wantsto be a gymnastics coach to 38 what she’s learned to other kids when she grew up.Lola is 39 of all her hard work and success. She says it has helped her overcome problems in her life outside gymnastics, too.

About 1, 500 people died on Titanic’s maidenvoyage in 1912 from Southampton to New York after the ship collided with an iceberg in the North Atlantic.Palmer, who created the company Blue Star Line last year, refused to make a similar boast. “Anything will sink if you put a hole in it,”Palmer said. “I think it would be very cavalier(漫不经心的) to say it.”Unlike the original, TitanicⅡ will have more than enough space in its lifeboats for every person on board and will have additional escape staircases. Markku Kanerva, sales director at Deltamarin, the Finnish company designing the ship, said it would be “the safest cruise ship in the world”.Palmer refused to answer questions about the project’s cost. Although the Titanic was the world’s largest ship in her time, she would be smaller than many of today’s modern cruise ships.“It’s not about the money, ”Palmer said. “I’ve got enough money for it. I think that’s all that matters.”Forbes estimated Palmer’s net worth to be $795 million in 2012. He describes himself as a billionaire.TitanicⅡ will be built by Chinese state-owned CSC Jinling Shipyard, which has already built four ore carriers for Palmer’s mining business, he said. The contract to build TitanicⅡ has not yet been signed, Palmer said.44．What can be inferred about TitanicⅡ from the passage?A．TitanicⅡ will have more space in its lifeboats than the Titanic.B．TitanicⅡ will be the largest cruise ship in the world.C．TitanicⅡ will allow different classes of passengers to mingle.D．TitanicⅡ will be a real unsinkable cruise ship.45．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．1, 500 people died on Titanic’s maiden voyage i n 1912.B．The Titanic collided with an iceberg in the South Pacific.C．The Titanic was equipped with air conditioning.D．The Titanic was the world’s largest ship at that time.46．What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage?A．To tell us the story of the Titanic.B．To tell us TitanicⅡ will cost a lot of money.C．To tell us about the future TitanicⅡ.D．To tell us a Chinese Shipyard will build TitanicⅡ.47．What’s the best title of the passage?A．The old TitanicB．The blueprints of TitanicⅡC．The unsinkable TitanicⅡD．Clive Palmer—a billionaireDreams can be familiar and strange, fantastical or boring, but some dreams might be connected to the mental processes that help us learn. No one knows for certain why people dream, but some dreams might be connected to the mental processes that help us learn. In a recent study, scientists found a connection between nap-time dreams and better memory in people who were learning a new skill.In the study, 99 college students between the ages of 18 and 30 each spent an hour on a computer, trying to get through a virtual maze(迷宫). The maze was difficult, and the study participants had to start in a different place each time they tried — making it even more difficult. They were also told to find a particular picture of a tree and remember where it was. For the first 90 minutes of a five-hour break, half of the participants stayed awake and half were told to take a short nap. Participants who stayed awake were asked to describe their thoughts. Participants who took a nap were asked about their dream after sleep — and they were awakened within a minute of sleep to describe their dreams.Stickgold, a neuroscientist (神经科学家), to know what people were dreaming about when their eyes weren’t moving, during sleep.Four of the 50 people who slept said their dreams were connected to the maze. Some dreamed about the music that had been playing when they were working; others said they dreamed about seeing people in the maze. When these four people tried the computer maze again, theywere able to find the tree faster than before their naps.Stickgold suggests the dream itself doesn’t help a person learn —it’s the other way around. He suspects that the dream was caused by the brain processes associated with learning.All four of the people who dreamed about the task had done poorly the first time, which makes Stickgold wonder if the dreams show up when a person finds a new task particularly difficult.

Built nearly 2,500 years ago as a temple celebrating the Greek goddess Athena, it was for thousands of years the church of the Virgin Mary of the Athenians, then a mosque (清真寺), and finally a ruin. The building was changed and the sculptures(塑像) much damaged overthe centuries. By 1800 only about half of the original sculptural decoration remained. Between 1801 and 1805, Lord Elgin, the British ambassador to the Ottoman Empire(奥斯曼帝国), which controlled Athens, acting with the full knowledge and permission of the Ottoman authorities，removed about half of the remaining sculptures from the fallen ruins and from the building itself. Lord Elgin loved Greek history and transported the sculptures back to Britain. The arrival of the sculptures in London had a huge effect on the European public, greatly increasing interest in ancient Greek culture and influencing contemporary artistic trends. These sculptures were gained from Lord Elgin by the British Museum in 1816 and since then they have all been on show to the public, free of charge.Since the early 1980s, however, the Greek government has argued for the return of all the Parthenon sculptures in the British Museum. They have also challenged the British Museum Boar d of Trustees’ legal title to the sculptures.The British Museum, however, insists that it exists to tell the story of cultural achievement throughout the world, from the dawn of human history over two million years ago until the present day. The museum considers itself an important resource for the world: the breadth and depth of its collection allows the world public to re-examine cultural identities and explore the complex network of interconnected world cultures.It also says that, within the context of this unparalleled collection, the Parthenon sculptures are an important representation of ancient Athenian civilization. Each year millions of visitors admire the artistry of the sculptures and gain insights on how ancient Greece influenced —and was influenced by — the other civilizations that it came across.52．For most of its history people went to the Parthenon to ________.A．admire the goddess AthenaB．pray to their godC．search for sculpturesD．learn about its complex history53．What can we infer from the passage?A．The sculptures introduced ancient Greek culture to the west.B．Ancient Greek culture has greatly influenced world culture.C．The British Museum has made much money from the Parthenon sculptures.D．The British Museum is the most suitable place for protecting these sculptures. 54．What can we learn about Lord Elgin from the passage?A．He is greatly admired in Greece.B．He worked for the Ottoman Empire.C．He saved the Parthenon sculptures from being destroyed.D．He had a deep interest in Greek culture.55．The author’s main purpose in writing this passage is to tell________.A．the history of the Parthenon and its sculpturesB．what people can see in the British MuseumC．why the British Museum refuses to return the sculpturesD．the influence of Greece on British culture四、七选五Summer is the season to dive into new activities and relax. And right now is the time to make sure that you’re ready for the great outdoors, the holiday planning and travel, and the bathing suit beach days.If you want to lose weight before summer, concentrate on dropping no more than a pound or two a week. 56．And when you trouble yourself, sooner or later you，re going to gain it back. Operate on a 500-calorie-a-day deficit (亏损). 57．So if you cut 500 calories a day for seven days straight, you’ll lose a pound a week right there.Operating at a decrease of 500 calories a day should involve both eating less and moving more. For example, you could consume 300 fewer calories and bum 50 extra per day.Include both healthy eating and exercise in your weight-loss plan, and break the500-calorie goal into small groups to make it more reachable. 58．To cut 100 calories: 59．Have vegetable pizza instead of pepperoni (意大利辣香肠). Use our Nutritional Needs Calculator to determine how many daily calories you should consume in order to lose, gain, or maintain your healthy goal weight. Once you’ve reached your goal, recalculate your nutritional needs for keeping extra weight off all summer long.To burn 100 calories: spend 15 minutes biking. 60．Spend 5 minutes gardening.
