People simply get interested in it. A couple spent 200 thousand yuan on them. Another sixty-year-old guy spent over 700 thousand yuan inbuying blind boxes. Statistics showed that last year 300 thousand hobbyists made deals through a second-hand shopping platform.The blind boxes usually contain peripheral (周边的) dolls of comics and animation, or film and television, or specially designed ones. A single blind box usually costs about thirty to fifty yuan. But there is no mark on the box, and only after opening it can the buyer see what he has bought. This is rather like buying lottery tickets, for the buyer has to bet on his luck.However, addiction to blind box is much like that to gambling (赌博). It is highly nontransparent compared with lottery ticket. Nobody knows whether sellers of blind boxes exaggerated (夸大) the winning rate so as to attract people to buy them, thus digging a consumption trap. Besides, it is also unknown whether the objects in the blind boxes are genuine or not. The blind box economy promoted its second-hand trade. The price of some classic dolls or dolls of limited edition have skyrocketed in second-hand trade platforms, and some may reach thirty to forty times. But it is difficult for buyers to judge whether it is the result of real supply and demand, or the consequence of businessmen’s tricks.The basis of the “blind box economy” is the cultural trend of collection. Many of the target consumers are young people who have scanty experience of life. They are thus attracted by deliberately exaggerated probability of “winning a prize” and constantly throw money to buy blind boxes in order to gain dolls that they desire. Or they may buy at second-hand trade platform high-priced blind box dolls, thinking they can keep value preservation and appreciation, thus falling into the fixed pattern of trap carefully designed by businessmen.Therefore, it is necessary to remind young people to control their consumption in case they become addicted.24. A couple and a sixty-year-old guy are mentioned in Para.1 to ________.A．stress the importance of “blind box economy” to peopleB．tell how much money people spend on “blind box economy”C．show the popularity of “blind box economy” among peopleD．prove older people can af ford more to buy “blind box economy”25.Which may NOT be the contributing factor to “blind box economy”?A．The fondness of gambling to bet on their luck.B．The high winning rate exaggerated by sellers.C．The blind faith in the cultural trend of collectionD．The possibility of making a fortune in second-hand trade.26.The underlined word “scanty” in Para. 4 probably means ________.A．previous B．inadequate C．personal D．unforgettable27.What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage?A．To inform readers of the “blind box economy”.B．To promote the products of “blind box economy”.C．To list the reasons behind the popularity of “blind box economy”.D．To warn the consumers to think twice before buying blind boxes.CDo you often feel like you want to wash your hands again and again？Or do you ever have the urge to line up the items on your desk？These all may be symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder（强迫症），or OCD，which affects about 2 percent of the world's population．Those who suffer from OCD have difficulty finding successful treatment because doctors don't clearly understand its causes．But now，a new study has given hope for a future cure．For the study，which was published in the journal Nature in October，researchers observed humans，dogs and mice．They discovered four genes that may be responsible for obsessive-compulsive behaviors in humans．But why observe dogs and mice to learn about humans？"Dogs，it turns out，are surprisingly similar to people，" study author and geneticist Elinor Karlsson，of the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard University，US，told NPR．"They're chasing their own tail or chasing shadows like normal，but they're doing it for hours．"In the study，researchers made a list of about 600 genes in mice，dogs and humans that they thought might cause OCD，reported NPR．They then compared those genes in two large groups of people - those who don't have OCD and those who do．In the end，they identified just four genes with mutations （突变）in the OCD group．The genes are active in a neurological pathway （神经通路）in the brain，which is believed to help control actions．But the mutations could block the neurological pathway．For example，for people without OCD，when they finish washing their hands，a signal will come，telling them to stop．But for people with OCD，the neurological pathway is blocked，so the message isn't getting through．As a result，the person will continue to wash their hands．"OCD and anxiety are kind of like learning disorders，" Marcos Grados，an OCD researcher at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine，told NPR．"Often with OCD，people have a fear of germs （细菌）．You can't touch tables or door knobs （把手）and every time it's the same sensation （感觉）．You didn't learn that the last time you touched a door knob，nothing happened．It's like touching it for the first time ever．"However，that doesn't mean people who have these genetic mutations will always have obsessive-compulsive behaviors，the researchers said．That's because the disorder also relies on other things，such as one's environment．According to reports，various existing treatment methods have low success rates in patients．But now that we know where OCD comes from，let's hope we will soon find an effective way to treat it．28.What did researchers recently find about OCD？___A．They found a possible cure for it．B．It is a common problem among animals．C．It can be caused by genetic mutations．D．It can be passed on to the next generation．29.What would a typical OCD sufferer probably do？___A．Enjoy shaking hands with others．B．Touch door knobs from time to time．C．Keep washing their hands．D．Enjoy the company of friends．30.What is the problem for OCD sufferers according to the study？___A．They have four missing genes that control their behavior．B．Some part of their neurological pathway is damaged．C．Their brains are not sensitive to behavioral signals．D．Their brains can't receive messages to stop repeated actions．31.Which of the following will the author probably agree with？___A．OCD causes more trouble than anxiety．B．A genetic mutation is the main cause of OCD．C．Environment plays a more important role in OCD than genes．D．It's possible to find effective treatment for OCD．DLike a tired marriage，the relationship between libraries and publishers has long been dull．E-books，however，are causing heartache．Libraries know they need digital wares，but many publishers are too cautious about piracy（盗版）and lost sales to co-operate．Among the big six，only Random House and Harper Collins license e-books with most libraries．Publishers are wise to be nervous．Owners of e-readers are exactly the customers they need：book-lovers with money．If these wonderful people switch to borrowing e-books instead of buying them，what then？Electronic borrowing is awfully convenient．Unlike printed books，which must be checked out and returned to a physical library miles from where you live，book files can be downloaded at home．The files disappear from the device when they are due．E-lending is not simple，however．There are lots of different and often incompatible（不兼容的）e-book formats，devices and licenses．Most libraries use a company called Overdrive，which secures rights from publishers and provides e-books and audio files in every format．Yet publishers and libraries are worried by Overdrive's global market dominance （优势），as the company can control fees and conditions．Publishers were annoyed when Overdrive cooperated with Amazon，the world's biggest online bookseller，last year．Owners of Amazon's Kindle e-reader who want to borrow e-books from libraries are now redirected to Amazon's website，wherethey must use their Amazon account to secure a loan．According to Pew，an opinion researcher，library users are a perfect market for．Amazon．Late last year Amazon introduced its Kindle Owners' Lending Library，which lets its best customers borrow free one of thousands of popular books each month，Library supporters argue that book borrowers are also book buyers and that libraries are vital spaces for readers to discover new works．Many were cheered by a recent Pew survey，which found．that more than half of Americans with library cards say．they prefer to buy their e-books．So publishers keep adjusting their lending arrangements in search of the right balance．Random House raised its licensing prices earlier this year，and Harper Collins limits libraries to lending its titles 26 times．32.It can be inferred from Paragraph 1 that___．A．several big publishers have sold e-books to librariesB．most publishers are hesitant to cooperate with librariesC．libraries are eager to keep a strong relationship with publishersD．Libraries and publishers face the same problem of e-books piracy33Why are publishers worried that people will switch to electronic borrowing？___ A．E-books must be checked out and returned to libraries regularly．B．There is no time limit for the book files downloaded on the device．C．There are lots of different and incompatible e-book formats available．D．Book sales may drop sharply because of convenient electronic borrowing．34.We can learn from the text that___．A．Amazon is adopting measures to win more customersB．e-books can be lent at libraries as many times as you likeC．Overdrive distributes e-books and audio files to publishersD．over half of Americans are borrowing e-books from libraries35.What is the best title for the text？___A．The Hopeful Future of Publishing Business．B．The Uncertain Economics of Lending E-books．C．The Dull Relationship between Libraries and Publishers．D．The Close Cooperation between Overdrive and Amazon．第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分。

His mother died when he was young, and Rodgers spent the next few years with relatives. He then went to live with his father who worked on the Ohio Railroad and had married a new wife.By age 13, Rodgers had twice organized traveling shows. The first time, he borrowed his sister-in-law's bed sheets to make a tent. Upon his return to Meridian, he paid for the sheets with money he had made from his show! And not long after the second trip, his father found Rodgers his first railroad job as a brakeman.In 1924, Rodgers got tuberculosis（肺结核）. The disease temporarily ended his job but gave him the chance to get back to his first love, entertainment. He organized a traveling roadshow and performed across the Southeast until a hurricane destroyed his tent. He returned to railroad, working as a brakeman, but his illness eventually cost him his job. He moved to Arizona thinking the dry climate might lessen the disease.In April 1927 Rodgers performed for the first time on the Asheville's radio station. Months later, Rodgers recruited a group and they secured a weekly show on the radio station as the Rodgers Entertainers. A columnist said, "Whoever that fellow is, he either is a winner or he is going to be." In November, Rodgers recorded four songs, Ben Dewberry's Final Run, Mother Was a Lady, Away out on the Mountain and T for Texas. In the following years, "T for Texas" sold nearly half a million copies.In 1933, Rodgers traveled to New York for recording. But his tuberculosis worsened. He had to record, sitting down and soon returned to his hotel, hoping to regain enough energy. Rodgers recorded "Years Ago" by himself, with just a guitar. 36 hours after that, "The Father of Country Music" died.（1）What can we know from the second paragraph?A.Rodgers was once a thief as a boy.B.Rodgers didn't get along with his sister-in law.C.Rodgers loved music at an early age.D.Rodgers' father spoiled his children very much.（2）Which of the following ruined Rodgers's road show?A.The police.B.The weather.C.Rodgers's father.D.Rodgers's brother.（3）Why did Rodgers go to Arizona?A.To find a better job.B.To receive better education.C.To hope to make his disease less serious.D.To break away from his father's control.（4）What was Rodgers's last recorded song?A.Years Ago.B.T for Texas.C.Mother Was a Lady.D.Ben Dewberry's Final Run.3.U.S. cherries, watermelons and some other summertime favorites may depend on wild bees more than previously thought.Many farms in the United States use managed honeybees to pollinate（授粉）crops and in-crease the total amount of crops, sometimes trucking beehives（蜂箱）from farm to farm. Now an analysis of seven crops across North America shows that wild bees can play a role in crop pollination too, even on conventional farms with managed honeybees. Wild volunteers add at least $1.5 billion in total to the harvest for six of the crops, a new study estimates."To me, the big surprise was that we found so many wild bees even in intense production areas where much of the produce in the USA is grown," says Rachael Winfree, a pollination ecologist at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, N.J.That means threats to wild bees could deplete profits even when farms raise honeybees, the researchers reported on July 29 in Proceedings of the Royal Society. Both honeybees, which aren't native to the United States, and wild pollinators such as bumblebees face dangers including pesticides（杀虫剂）.To see what, if anything, wild native bee species contribute, researchers checked bee visits to flowers at 131 commercial farm fields across the United States and part of Canada. On the other hand. the researchers also calculated to what extent the number of bee visits limited production. These intensive farms with plenty of fertilizer, water and other resources of ten showed signs of reaching a pollinator limit, meaning fields didn't have enough honeybees to get the maximum production, and volunteer wild bees were adding to the total. Then the team estimated what percentage of the production native bees were adding—versus just doing what honeybees would have done anyway."Wild bees don't seem to help California's orchards（果园）, but based on orchards in Michigan and Pennsylvania, some$1.06billionofapplesdependsonnativepollinators,"theresearcherssay.Watermelons,particularl yinFlorida,getanestimated$146 million benefit, and sweet cherries $145 million.（1）Why are the wild bees important to the crops according to the text?A.It helps to pollinate and improve the crops output.B.It is helpful to raise managed honeybees.C.It is helpful to maintain healthy ecosystem.D.It helps to protect native bee species.（2）What does the underlined word "deplete" in paragraph 4 mean?A.Pursue.B.Make.C.Keep.D.Reduce.（3）Why did researchers check bee visits to flowers?A.To work out the number of wild native bees.B.To make it clear why fields don't have enough bees.C.To show how important the managed bees are to intensive farms.D.To figure out what wild native bees benefit farm output.（4）What is the purpose of the text?A.To draw people's attention to farm output.B.To discuss why bees can increase the harvest.C.To show wild bees may contribute to the crop harvest.D.To introduce how honey bees and wild bees pollinate crops.4.Artificial intelligence（AI）could soon help screen for Alzheimer's（阿尔兹海默症）disease by analyzing writing. A team from IBM and Pfizer says it has trained AI models to spot early signs of the illness by looking at language patterns in word usage.Other researchers have already trained various models to look for signs of cognitive impairments（认知损伤）by using different types of data, such as brain scans and clinical test results. But the latest work stands out because it used historical information from the Framingham Heart Study, which has been tracking the health of more than 14, 000 people from three generations since 1948. If the new models' ability to pick up trends in such data holds up in forward-looking studies of bigger and more diverse populations, researchers say they could predict the development of Alzheimer's disease a number of years before symptoms become severe enough for typical diagnostic methods to pick up. And such a screening tool would not require invasive（入侵性的）tests or scans.Researchers praise the study as a solid contribution to the field that might draw more attention and resources to AI detection of Alzheimer's disease. It's one of the very few works that analyze the big-scale, real-life data that was collected over a very long period of time.The new models might have been more accurate if it could have contained handwriting. This ability could provide additional clues. Using AI speech analysis to diagnose Alzheimer's disease is a growing area of research, and other systems have focused on detecting changes in audio samples. These contain clues such as speech pauses, which are not found in writing.Whether written or spoken, language samples offer a relatively noninvasive source ofinformation for monitoring peoples'cognitive health, compared with brain scans and other laboratory tests. Collecting such language data could be done cheaply and remotely—though doing so would still require strict informed permission and private information sale guardsfor the individuals creating the samples. This is especially true because some people may not want to even know how likely they are to develop Alzheimer's disease.（1）How can AI help in spotting signs of Alzheimer's disease?A.By scanning the person's brain.B.By studying the person's various data.C.By analyzing the person's word usage.D.By testing the person's writing articles.（2）What's special about the AI models from IBM?A.They are based on historical data.B.They detect early signs precisely.C.They are applied to a wider population.D.They make follow-up studies unnecessary.（3）What might be a concern about the AI models for tested people?A.Sample analysis.B.Data analysis.C.Screening results.D.Privacy protection.（4）What can be a suitable title for the text?A.AI—a way to fight Alzheimer'sB.AI—a tool to detect Alzheimer'sC.AI—a trend in treating diseasesD.Al—a method for collecting data二、七选五阅读根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

The waves broke like water in a washing machine, and the breaks had been heavy too, making it tough to tell whether it was better to try to catch one or to get out of its way. That was how he’d misjudged.Ella had seen her brother lose control, his board was thrown out of the water riderless high into the air, but she hadn’t seen him surface. She’d waited for the space of a breath. Nothing. Something, clearly, was wrong.She dashed into the water, swimming faster even than the petitions at school. Lung burning. Heart Piping-Focused.She’d found him floating just beyond the reef (暗礁), face up but knocked out cold. Just as she was paddling the water hard, her leg was hurt by the reef, a short, sharp instant of pain.No matter. She had kept Jerry’s head above water, swimming all the way back to shore. That day had been the worst, scariest moment in Jerry’s surfing career, which has seen him rise from a no-name kid who loved the ocean to a young star, winning petitions around the world.For Ella, her life had changed as well. She had learned something about who she was, about what she could achieve. She ran her fingers again over the scar, the physical map of the person she had bee.28. Why did Ella think something was wrong?A. She didn’t see Jerry e out of water.B. She had not seen Jerry lose control before.C. She saw Jerry’s board high into the air.D. She noticed Jerry held his breath longer.29. What does the underlined part “positively incredible” probably mean?A. Terribly excited.B. Extremely good.C. Relatively young.D. Hardly talented.30. For Ella, the scar represents .A. her skill at saving livesB. her discovery of self-valueC. her envy of her brotherD. her love for swimming career31. What can be inferred from the text?A. Ella was as outstanding an athlete as Jerry.B. Jerry learned how to surf all by himself.C. Ella was grateful for this terrible experience.D. Jerry had his leg injured in the surfing accident.DRunning is often tiring and a lot of hard work, but nothing beats the feeling you getafter finishing a long workout around the track.But while it’s long been believed that endorphins (脑内啡）一chemicals in the body that cause happiness 一 are behind the so-called “runner’s high”，a study suggested that there may be more to this phenomenon than we previously knew.According to a recent study published by a group of scientists from several German universities, a group of chemicals called endocannabinoids (内源性大麻素）may actually be responsible for this familiar great feeling.To test this theory, the scientists turned to mice.Both mice and humans release high levels of endorphins and endocannabinoids after exercise, along with many other chemicals. After exercising on running wheels, the mice seemed happy and relaxed and displayed no signs of anxiety.But after being given a drug to block their endorphins the change. However, when their endocannabinoids were block with a different drug, their runner’s high symptoms seemed to fade.“The long-held notion of endorphins being responsible for the runner's high is false. Endorphins are effective pain relievers, but only when it es to the pain in your body and muscles you feel after working out,” Patrick Lucas Austin wrote on science blog Lifchacker.Similar studies are yet to be carried out on humans, but it’s already well known that exercise is a highly effective way to get rid of stress or anxiety.The UK's National Health Service even prescribes (开药方)exercise to patients who are suffering from depression.“Being depressed can leave you feeling low in energy, which might put you off being more active. Regular exercise can boost your mood if you have depression, and it's especially useful for people with mild to moderate (中等的）depression,” it wrote on its website.It seems like nothing can beat that feeling we get after a good workout, even if we don t fully und erstand where it es from. At least if we’re feeling down, we know that all we have to do is put on our running shoes.32. What did scientists from German universities recently discover?A. Working out is a highly effective way to treat depression.B. The runner's high could be caused by endocannabinoids.C. Endorphins may contribute to one's high spirits after running.D. The level of endorphins and endocannabinoids could affect one's mood.33. The scientists gave mice drugs in their experiment to .A. find what reduces the runner's high symptomsB. see the specific symptoms of the runner's highC. identify what is responsible for the runner's highD. test what influences the level of endocannabinoids released34. The underlined word “notion” in Paragraph 7 has the closest meaning to .A. effectB. goalC. questionD. belief35. According to the UK’s National Health Service, regular workouts .A. are the best way to treat depressionB. can help ease depression symptomsC. only work for those with serious depressionD. can help people pletely recover from depression第二节（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Department of Homeland Security recommends having at least a two - week supply of water and food.PotatoesShelf life：2 to 5 weeks if stored in a cool, dry, dark placeYukon Gold, red, and fingerling potatoeswill last from two to three weeks. Larger white potatoes can last for three to five weeks. Sweet potatoes have about the same shelf life. Don't store them next to onions, however. The two might go together well in cooking, but raw, each gives off gases and moisture that might cause the other to spoil faster.Tea※Shelf life：6 to 12 months past "sell - by" dateDried tea leaves, whether loose (in a sealed container) or in teabags (in an unopened box) can easily last a year or more if they' re not subjected to damp or humidity. However, the tea does tend to lose flavor over time.Peanuts● Shelf life：1 to 2 monthsPeanuts in their shell, especially when kept cool and dry, are perfectly happy in the cupboard for as long as two months.Canned fruits and vegetables● Shelf life：1 to 2 years past "sell - by” dateCanning is an extremely efficient means of preserving food. Generally speaking, if canned foods aren't subjected to extreme heat, their contents should stay good for two years or more. Be aware, however, of dented cans or those with swollen tops, which may indicate the presence of bacteria inside.1. Which can go bad faster if stored with onions?A. Potatoes.B. Tea.C. Peanuts.D. Canned fruits and vegetables.2. What is special about tea?A. The flavor of tea can always remain the same.B. Tea leaves are better to be preserved in an open jar.C.

Shapes of cans.B. Categories of foods.C. Decline of the temperature.D. Exposure to high temperature.BI am a part of the Windward Robotics team known as the Omnicats, one of the many clubs offered at my school. My eight teammates and I started out by watching the robotics qualifiers and finals of Chinese teams. We used these robotics videos for inspiration and drew up mind maps of what our team wanted to do.We meet every day for two hours after school in order to build our robots. Typically, adultsoverseewhat students are building, but my school lets teens take control. It leaves room for more errors, but we're prouder of our final product.Before our first real match, a practice was offered at the actual site. My sub-team had been further along than other teams but quickly fell behind. When we arrived on that big day, I immediately felt my teammates' nervousness. Our first match was in three minutes. All of us glanced around at each other since we were not prepared at all. Our robot was still sitting in a box. Two of our teammates rushed to take the robot for an official examination as the rest of us discussed our strategy (策略).Our team captain explained that we all should try driving the robot now, while it was early in the season. She gave me the remote. I had only driven for a limited amount of time in practice so I was extremely nervous. Our autonomous code (自动代码) beganto run almost immediately after our short discussion. Despite all the drama, we ended up winning the match.Not too bad for the first match! I was so proud. I did not enjoy the pressure of driving but liked building the robot behind the scenes instead.We have transferred to a different type of robotics at the end of the semester, which involves the whole team designing one giant robot with large tools. I am a part of the electrical team now, so I make sure the motherboard (母板) can supply the robot's energy needs. We have all enjoyed the rest of the season and learned that robotics it never dull!4. What does the underlined word in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. InspectB. AdmireC. OverlookD. Assume5. Why did her teammatesfed so nervous before first match?A. Because it was really too difficult for them.B. Because they didn't prepare for it at all.C. Because they didn't know what the match would be like.D. Because they didn't make full preparations before the match.6. How did the author feel about their first robotics match?A. It was tiring but exciting.B. It was stressful but wonderful.C. It was terrible but powerful.D. It was boring but professional7. What is the best title for the text?A. A Girl Who Loves RobotsB. My First Robotics MatchC. Teamwork for RobotsD. Robotics Is Never DullCIf our kids don’t fall, they don’t learn to get up. I still remember the day in high school that my mom forgot to pick me up from school. I’m the oldest of four children, and no doubt she’d had a long day with the other kids and it’d slipped her mind. After waiting at school for an hour, I walked the three miles home, and when I got to my house, I shut our front door with anger, stormed into the kitchen and screamed in my mom’s face that she’d forgotten me.Later that night, my dad told me I no longer had a ride to school the next day. I figured my mom would still take me, but when the morning came, she refused. It was midterm, and as a straight-A student ready to start college applications, being late wasn’t an option (选择). In my mind, missing these tests would have been the end of my academic career. I begged my mom. I told her she was ruining my future and everything I’d worked for. But sheheld her ground, and that day, I walked to school. And I missed my tests.My mom didn’t rescue me from failure. She let me suffer from it. She let me figure it out. She let me learn. Now, as a mom myself, I’ve realized that I want my kids to experience failure because failure is how we grow, learn and think outside of ourselves. It’s how we self-educate to learn what’s right and respectable, and what’s not. It’s how we become responsible and enthusiastic. Falling down makes us better because we learn how to get up.8. What is one of the reasons that the author got angry that day?A. She was tired.B. She failed in a test.C. She was late for school.D. She had to walk home by herself.9. How does the author feel about her childhood experience?A. Terrible.B. Meaningful.C. Embarrassing.D. Colorful.10. The underlined phrase “held her ground” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”.A. gave in to meB. said yes to meC. stayed in the placeD. kept to her idea11. What is the best title for the text?A. My Way of GrowingB. The Value of FailureC. My Love for MotherD. Failure in My LifeDEvery day in the United States animals are beaten, ignored, or forced to struggle for survival. Left in poor conditions with no food or water, they have little hope as they live out their days without the mercy they deserve. Some are found and rescued, given the chance to experience how great life and humans can be; others aren't so lucky. To grow as a nation, we must fight for these abused(受虐待的) animals’ rights and seriously punish heartless owners.One of the first steps in protecting animals and creating effective cruelty laws is to know what animal cruelty actually is. There are two categories: passive cruelty and active cruelty. The first involves acts of omission, meaning the abuse happens as a result of ignorance or lack of action. Passive cruelty might seem less serious, but that is not the case; it can lead to terrible pain and suffering, and finally death. Examples include starvation, inadequate shelter in extreme weather conditions, and the failure to get medical care. Passive cruelty is sometimes due to the owner's ignorance, so many animal control officers will first try to educate ignorant owners on how to properly care for animals before giving them a citation(传票) or putting them in prison.Active cruelty, on the other hand, is more well-known and disturbing. Sometimes referred to as non-accidental injury, this type of abuse involves purposeful harm on an animal in order to feel more powerful or gain control. Active cruelty against animals should be taken very seriously, since it can be a sign that a person has serious psychological issues and may commit more acts of violence---possibly against humans.It is hard to tell just what drives people to harm innocent animals. Most animal abusers find some sort of achievement or power in torturing a victim that they know can't fight back. While not all animal abusers become serial killers, it is important to take every case seriously.As a nation we need to make it our right to come together and ensure the safety of our beloved pets. AsMargaret Mead once said, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”12. What is the first step to do with the passive cruelty abusers?A. To throw them into prison.B. To bring the case to the court.C. To teach them how to treat animals.D. To give them a strong warning.13. We can learn from Para.3 that active cruelty ______.A. is actually a sign of power or controlB. has been taken seriously in the nationC. may lead to serious psychological problemsD. may cause acts of violence against humans14. What is the author’s attitude towards animal cruelty?A. Uncertain.B. Doubtful.C. Concerned.D. Pessimistic.15. The author wrote this passage to ______.A. warn those heartless pet ownersB. tell people the harm of animal crueltyC. explain the reasons why people harm animalsD. call on people to fight for the abused animals第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。

As I made out a check for a family with several children who had changed their ice –cream 34 a dozen times, I was ready to stop.

I smiled back, and later, when the manager asked me how I’d like my first day, I said, “ 38 !” Those few words of praise had 39 everything. Praise is like 40 to the human spirit; we cannot flower and grow without it. And 41 , while most of us are only too 42 to apply (应用) to others the cold wind of criticism (批评), we are 43 to give our fellows the warm sunshine of praise. Why –when one word of praise can bring such 44 ?It’s strange how chary (吝啬) we are about praising. Perhaps it’s 45 few of us know how to accept it. It’s 46 rewarding (奖赏) to give praisein areas in which 47 generally goes unnoticed or unmentioned. An artist gets complimented (admired) for a glorious picture, a cook for a 48 meal.

His wife was on business trip and was planning to meet him there the next day. When he reached his hotel, he decided to send his wife a quick E – mail. Unable to find the scrap of paper on which he had written her E – mail address, he did his best to type it in from memory. Unfortunately, he missed one letter and his note was directed instead to anelderly preacher’s wife whose husband had passed away only the day before. When the grieving widow (悲伤的寡妇) checked her E – mail, she took one look at the monitor (显示器), let out a piercing scream, and fell to the floor in a dead faint (昏厥). At the sound, her family rushed into the room and saw this note on the screen.Dearest wife : Just got checked in. Everything prepared for your arrival tomorrow.P. S. Sure Is Hot Down Here.51．What does the underlined word in the first paragraph mean?A．Purposely B．Luckily C．Unpurposely D．Unluckily52．What was the weather like in Florida when the story happened?A．It was snow. B．It was neither too hot nor too cold.C．It was rainy. D．It was hot.53．Why did the old lady fall to the floor?A．Because she was in poor health.B．Because she was in great sorrow.C．Because she didn’t like to be made fun of by others.D．Because she thought the mail was from her husband who died the day before. 54．In fact the mail was sent from to .A．the Illinois man ; his wife B．the preacher; his wifeC．the Illinois man ; the old lady D．somebody unknown; the old ladyBTake a rapid look at someone, then look away. Do you realize you have made a statement? Hold the glance for a second longer, and you have made a different statement. Hold it for three seconds, and the meaning has changed again. For every social situation, there is an allowed time that you can hold a person’s look without being close, rude or dangerous. If you are on a lift, what stare time are you permitted? To answer this question, consider what you specially do. You very likely give other passengers a quick look to judge them and to let them believe that you mean no harm. Since being close to another personsuggests the possibility of communication, you need to give a signal telling others you want to be left alone. So you cut off eye contact, what Dr. Erving Giffman (1963) calls “a dimming of the lights”. You look down at the floor, at the lift door, or anywhere b ut not into another passenger’s eyes. If you break the rule against staring at a stranger on a lift, you’ll make the other person gradually uncomfortable, and you are likely to feel a bit strange yourself.If you hold eye contact for more than 3 seconds, what are you telling another person? Much depends on the person and the situation. For instance, a man and a woman communicate interest in this matter. They may look at each other for about 3 seconds at a time, YC then drop their eyes down for 3 seconds, before letting their eyes meet again. But if one man gives another man a 3 second –plus stare, he signals, “I know you”, “I am interested in you,” or “You look strange and I am curious about you.” This type of stare often produces unfriendly feelings.55．We can learn from the first paragraph that .A．every glance has its meaningB．staring at a person is an expression of interestC．a glance longer than 3 seconds in unacceptableD．a glance carries more meaning than words56．By “a dimming of the lights”, Dr Erving Goffman means “”.A．closing one’s eyes B．turning off the lightsC．stopping staring at others D．reducing stare time to the least 57．From the passenger we can know that if a person stare at another person for 4 seconds, it means.A．he / she knows the person B．he / she is interested in the person C．he / she is curious about the person D．it depends58．The passage mainly discuss .A．the limited time of eye contactB．the passing of ideas through eye contactC．proper manners in different social situationsD．the role of eye contact in inter – personal communicationCAs is true in all cultures, American first hear music in the context of family life. Much of that music comes from the records on the family radio or television, and this “canned” music is especially important in developing children’s musical taste. People often say they were very strongly influenced by the kind of music they heard before they were old enough to have their own records or choose the station on the family radio. There is usually some live music in the family as well.Many mothers and grandmothers sing lullabies (催眠曲), for example. These can be important since in America, as elsewhere, lullabies not only lull a baby to sleep but promise, praise and teach cultural values. Sometimes lullabies are the only songs in a foreign language that American children with strong ethnic (种族的) backgrounds hear, since people often fall back on old, familiar languages for intimate (亲密的) songs.Another important family context is the automobile, where families learn songs and sing together on weekends and vacations. This is not as surprising as it appears, for the family car has become one of the basic centers of family experience, and it is one of the important places where the family gather for an extended period time without outside disturbance. The family used to have to choose between making their own music in the car and being force – fed by the radio, but the invention of automobile cassette recorders and eight –track playback machines allows a family to have more control over what they hear when they drive.59．“ ‘canned’ music” (in paragraph 1) refers to .A．the music passed down from older generationsB．recorded music instead of live musicC．modern music young people can enjoyD．the music children hear in a car60．The music children first hear is important in .A．shaping their likes and dislikes in musicB．learning languageC．developing their mindD．knowing about cultural values61．According to the passage lullabies are usually sung in .A．American English B．a familiar languageC．an African language D．the parents’ native language 62．“context” (in Paragraph 3) probably means “”.A．chances B．culture C．surroundings D．contentDSAN FERANCISCO – As skies fill with millions of migrating birds (候鸟), European scientists say the seasonal miracle appears to depend on a seeming contradiction (矛盾) : The fatter the bird, the more efficiently it flies.The result of their study contradict a central theory of aerodynamics (空气动力学), which predicts that the power needed to fly increases with weight.For birds, apparently, the cost of flying with heavy fuel loads is considerably smaller than previously thought.Researchers found that red knot wading birds double their normal body weight of 100 grams before making their twice –a –year, nonstop commute (路程) between the British Isles and the Russian Arctic. Distance : 5,000 kilometers.Another study in the journal Nature measured the benefits of flying in an aerodynamic V formation (V字形), which allows birds to save energy by gliding in the lead bird’s air stream.Flying in formation, their heart rates were as much as 14.5 percent lower than flying solo (单飞), according to Henri Weimerskirch, a French scientist. The findings help explain how birds complete difficult migrations.Researchers had assumed that thinner, more athletic birds would have the best chance of survival.The first study suggests that building up fat deposits (存放) to be burned as fuel during the migrating is worth more than the energy it takes to carry the additional weight.In the study, researchers said their team studied the birds flown at different body masses during 28 simulated (模拟) flights. They were injected (注射) with a small amount of water containing a radioactive element that enabled the team to measure the amount of energy burned.63．Researchers used to believe .A．the thinner a bird is, the less energy it needs to flyB．migratory birds make a journey from the British Isles to the Russian Arctic C．aerodynamics makes no senseD．birds eat more before they begin their migrations64．According to the passage, birds prefer to fly in the V formation rather than fly solo because.A．it is against aerodynamic to fly in the V formationB．they can save energy while migratingC．they won’t get lost with a bird leading the wayD．in this way their heart beat faster so that they can fly faster 65．The researchers didn’t in the study.A．inject the birds with water containing a radioactive element.B．watch birds of different body masses in simulated flightsC．take the birds’ heart ratesD．feed the birds to fatten them66．The best title of the passage should be .A．Birds Fatten up for Journey B．Migratory Birds in EuropeC．New Findings D．Migrating in V formationEWhile in Banff, make time for a walk around town. A special treat is to go up the mountainside on the Banff Gondola for a surprising view of the valley below. Here is The Pines, whose cook has developed a special way of mixing foreign food such a caribou, wild boar, and reindeer with surprising sauces.Best time to visit is during the off –season, from early May to mid –June, or in October. This way you can avoid sharing the high way with mobile (移动的) homes which can be pulled by cars. But whatever the season, take some lunch with you from Banff, because there are only a few food stops on the road.Forty minutes north of Banff, side by side with the Banff National Park, sits world – famous Lake Louise. This surprisingly small body of water is attractive with towering mountains around it. Glaciers, huge masses of ice, moving very slowly against rocks, produce what is called glacier rock flour, making its water dark to see. It is worth taking a walk around the grounds of the chateau Lake Louise, another beauty, proud of its early 20 the century history.Back on the road, and it’s time to continue north past the astonishing Columbia Icefield, then turn off the highway and take the short road to the base of the Athabaska Glacier. You can rent ice cleats (夹板) and do some climbing or do a more pleasant snowmobile tour. Either way, you can enjoy endless beautiful sights.Finally you’ll reach Jasper, the usual t urning around the place for the Banff –Jasper loop (回路). It’s worth riding the Jasper Skytram, and be sure to visit the wonderful Jasper Park Lodge, also dating back to the 1920s. If you can have lunch there, do it. The restaurant has an adventurous menu and their wine list would put a smile on any visitor’s face.67．According to the passage, the Pines is a .A．place in which you can see many mobile homes.B．mountain where you can get a good view of the valley.C．town which happens to be near the Banff National Park.D．restaurant where you can ask for some special kinds of food. 68．What will probably happen when visitors come at the end of June?A．They may have trouble finding a restaurant.B．They may come across traffic jams.C．They may travel more easily with carsD．They may do much more sightseeing.69．Similar to the Chateau Lake Louise, .A．the Banff National Park is to the west of BanffB．the Columbia Icefield lies between Lake Louise and the Banff National ParkC．the Jasper Skytram has a history of more than 80 yearsD．the Jasper Park Lodge was built in the 1920s70．Besides the beautiful sights in Jasper Park Lodge, visitors to Jasper can enjoy themselves by.A．taking the Jasper Skytram and eating in the restaurantB．taking the Banff – Jasper loop and Jasper SkytramC．having a lot of food to order in the restaurantD．taking the Jasper Skytram back to Banff第二卷（主观题）Ⅳ．单词填写（每小题1分，共15小题，满分15分）71．She’s a (习惯) to traveling a lot in her job.72．I c an’t advise what to do ---- it’s a matter of c (良心). 73．His formal style of speaking was a (适当的) to the occasion. 74．He was accused of a (滥用) his position for personal gain. 75．There’s a f (基本的) difference in the attitude between these two politicians.76．If you want to get a book out of the library, you can c (查阅) the catalogue first.77．All of us are unaware of what the o (结果) of the war will be . 78．Everyone gave their a (同意) to the proposal.79．You know this part of the text is very hard, and try to s (简化) your explanation for the pupils.80．I had waited for a very long time, and a l (最后) the bus arrived.81．What c (标准，用复数) do you use to judge a good wine?82．In the United States, what p (百分比) of your income is paid in incometax?83．That is only a t (临时的，暂时的) solution to the problem.84．As far as I know, he is an i (聪明的，智商高的) person.85．As a man of iron will, he makes no c (让步) in matters of principle.Ⅴ．短文改错（每小题1分，共10题，满分10分）In the summer holiday, our school had organized a trip 86．for us to England, when my classmates and I stayed with 87．England families and studied for about 20 days. 88．I arrived at the airport in London at 9 o’clock in July 89._________16 th.
