If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer graysand blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. If you love green, you are strong-minded and determined. You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, and the effect that colors have on human beings. They tell us that we don’t choose our favorite color as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and comfortable than a dark green one, and a red dress rings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing. Light and bright colors make people not only happier but also more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark grey .Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can always brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a few colorful things. Remember also that you will know your friends and your enemies better when you find out what colors they like and dislike. And don’t forget that anyone can guess a lot about your character when you choose a piece of handkerchief.21. According to this passage, _______________.A. one can choose his color preferenceB. one is born with his color preferenceC. one’s color preference is changeableD. one has to choose his favorite color as soon as he can see clearly22. If someone choose a red handkerchief, he will probably do the following things EXCEPT___.A.Becoming a leader.B.Joining the Student Union.C.Always complain and blame othersD.Getting along well with others23. “I am feeling black” means ____________.A. I am feeling wellB. I am very happyC. I am excitedD. I am depressed24. The main idea of this passage is _____________.A. one’s color preference shows one’s characterB. you can brighten your life with wonderful colorsC. psychologists have been studying the meaning of color preferenceD. one’s color preference has something to do with his character and colors haveeffects onhuman beingsBCity University LondonFacts about City●City currently has over 18,000 students from more than 150 countries and staff from over 75 countries.● More than 130,000 former students from over 180 countries are members of the City Alumni (校友) Network.●City ha s been educating students in London since 1894.Our location in the heart of London●Our name was adopted (采纳) in 1966 to reflect our long-standing relationship with the City of London.●The Lord Mayor of London is our president, an arrangement which has b een in place since 1966.●City has been supported by the City of London livery companies for over 100 years.

The study showed that people in Bangladesh, one of the poorest countries in the world, get far more happiness from their small incomes than, for example, the British do from their relatively (相对地) large bank balances. In fact, people in most rich countries, including Austria, Switzerland, Canada and others, are much less happy than people in some poor countries like the Dominican Republic and Armenia.The most unfortunate, however, are Russians and people in some other parts of the former Soviet Union. They are neither rich nor happy, the World Happiness Survey shows. The study shows that although the British have twice as much money to spend in real terms compared with 40 years ago, their perceived (感知的) quality of life has not improved. Earlier surveys showed that many of the British thought money could bring happiness. The new study shows that such a link still exists in poor countries, because a small increase in income can mean large improvements in lifestyle.However, beyond a certain income level, that direct relationship breaks down. According to the research, happiness in rich countries now is far more dependent on close personal relationships, good health and job satisfaction. “People in Britain are generally less happy than they were ten years ago. Two-thirds would rather see the environment improved than have more economic growth and personal spending money,” said Rober t Worcester, co-author of the study.The researchers have concluded that although the British are rich compared with people in most other countries, many suffer from emotional poverty caused by the breakdown of family life. “We have more money but our pers onal needs are not being met,” said Nic Marks, a social sciences researcher at Surrey University who also worked on the report.28. According to the text, many British people ________.A. are happier than people in poor countriesB. used to think that more money meant more happinessC. are happier than they were ten years agoD. have seen their perceived quality of life improve in the last 40 years29. According to the survey, happiness in rich countries is more dependent on __________.① close personal relationships② an increase in income③ good health④ job satisfaction⑤ economic growthA. ①③④B. ①②③④C. ②③④D. ②③④⑤30. We can learn all of the following from the text EXCEPT that __________.A. British people’s awareness of the environment has im provedB. due to the family-life breakdown, people in Britain are suffering from emotional povertyC. people in Russia are rich but not happyD. the direct relationship between money and happiness will disappear after a certain income level31. The text is mainly about a survey on ______.A. people’s perceived quality of life in BritainB. the perceived quality of life in rich countriesC. the personal spending power in poor countriesD. the link between money and happinessDOne cold morning in winter, when I was a little boy, a smiling man with an ax on his shoulder stopped me, saying, “My pretty boy, has your father a grindstone ( 磨刀石)?”“Yes, sir,” said I.“You are a fine little fellow!” said the man. “Will you let me grind my ax?” Pleased with the flattery, I answered, “Oh, yes, sir. The grindstone is down in the shop.”Patting me on my head, he said, “Will you get me some hot water?” I ran and brought the hot water.“How old are you, and what is your name?” he asked, without waiting for a reply, “I’m sure you are one of the finest boys I have ever seen. Will you turn the grindstone a few minutes for me?”Hearing the flattery again, I went to work with a will. It was a new ax, and I worked hard until I was almost tired to death. The school bell rang, but I could not get away, because the ax was not half ground.At last, however, it was sharpened. Then the man turned to me and said, “Now, you little rascal (小坏蛋 ), you have played truant ( 旷课)! Run to school, or you’ll be sorry!”“Alas!” thought I. “It was hard enough to turn a grindstone this cold day, but now to be called a rascal is too much.”The memory of turning the grindstone that winter morning sank deep into my mind.I have thought of it since. Now, whenever I hear words of flattery, I say to myself. “That man has an ax to grind.”32. Which of the following did the man with the ax NOT do that morning?A. Flattering the boy with nice words.B. Patting the boy on the head.C. Blaming the boy with sharp words.D. Giving the boy a small toy.33. The man asked the boy so many questions ________.A. to know how old the boy wasB. to know if his father was at homeC. to let the boy grind his axD. to know the study about the boy34. What did NOT happen to the boy when the work was finished?A. He was tired.B. He was praised by the man.C. He was late for school.D. He felt hurt by the man’s words.35. Today in the English language, “That man has an ax to grind” means _______.A. that man has some selfish reasons for his actionsB. that man needs to sharpen his axC. that man is very kind to boysD. that man works with an ax第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Four Ways to Improve Your MemoryHave you ever imagined the benefits that a good memory can bring you? Being able to remember important pieces of information can give you a powerful advantage in life. 36 Here are four ways to improve your memory:●Make the most of your imagination. 37 For example, to remember where you have left your car keys, pretend to hold a camera to your eyes, focus on the scene, and click the image into your memory when you are leaving. This technique works with almost everything you want to remember, as the roll of film in your mind is endless.●Try to practice. Ther e are lots of ways to do this: try to remember which day of the week your last birthday was. 38 Try to remember all the ping-pong finalists and the winner. If you can try to remember the scores as well, it will be even better. It won’t be long before your daily practice pays off, making your mind sharper and more adaptable.●Get physical exercise. 39 A combination of mental and physical activity can protect your memory. It is known that the brain’s processing speed gradually slows as you age. Fortunately, staying physically fit can avoid some of the effects of aging on the brain.● 40 Mental exercises are as important as physical ones to keep one’s brainpower. Take up word games like crossword puzzles.Memorise favorite poems and read challenging books or articles that encourage youto expand your interests. Any activity that requires you to think and concentrate will challenge your brain. And your brain will develop better on the challenge.A. Exercise your brain.B. Play more games.C. Physical exercise not only improves memory but also helps you think faster.D. In fact, the ability to remember things is necessary to your success.E. Then extend this to the birthdays of all your family members.F. An easy way to remember something is to “take a picture”.G. If you are right-handed, try to brush your teeth with your left hand.第三部分语言知识运用 (共两节，满分45分)第一节（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）Matthew Layton was 20 minutes from home on a cold November night when he gota phone call from his mother. “The mountain is on fire,” she 41 , “and Brianis up there!” Layton’s family 42 a dozen rental cabins(小屋) on Shields Mountain, and Layton’s friend and fellow rental-cabin owner, Brian McGee, age 56, was43 up there, trying to put the fire out by himself.Layton made it as far as the main road to the cabins, only to find a policeman 44 the road.

AThere are many weird sports that are present from around the world. From each region of the world, along with the very popular common sports, there are also those really popular but very weird kinds of sports.The Ultimate Test between Man and Horse:This indeed a very strange kind of sport that tests your stamina. You will learn how to be agiler while competing against a horse. This game originated in Welsh town of Llanwrtyd Wells. This sport really has to do with strength. You will require great agility and strength in order to take part in this. Marathon human contestants are put to test against those mounted on horses. This is how the marathon testing takes place.Love Locked RaceThis is a sports event that was first introduced in Finland. This is all about a male competitor racing with a female in a certain way. There would be many obstructions and blocks on the way which would definitely bring you challenges. The person to win would have to finish the race without losing his female partner in thecourse of overcoming the obstacles even for once. This race takes place really fast and the obstacles are set that way.Toe sportThis is yet another weird sport that welcomes you to use your toes. This is quite the same kind of sport that you used to play as a child which involved toe wrestling. This has now been turned into a major sport that even has a World Toe Wrestling Competition. It first originated in a pub of Derbyshire.The locals took this sport with great enjoyment and then made this so popular that it soon had its own championship. The individuals who participate have only got to use their feet in locks but then this is tougher than it may sound.The Mud Pit Belly FlopThis is a kind of game where even the spectators get splashed in mud but in fact that is quite the fun. The very annual Summer Redneck Games in East Dublin brings about this game and brings about some of the greatest hubcap discus throws with it. This is also a great sport to show the strength and dexterity of your feet.1. Which sport requires couples to participate?A. The Ultimate Test between Man and HorseB. Love Locked RaceC. Toe sportD. The Mud Pit Belly Flop2. Which statement shows the popularity of the Toe Sport?A. It first originated in a pub of Derbyshire.B. The locals took this sport with great enjoyment.C. It has a World Toe Wrestling Competition.D. Even kids are fond of the sport.3. What kind of people are likely to take part in the Ultimate Test between Man and Horse?A. People with agility and strengthB. People with companionsC. Marathon runnersD. Horse ridersBThe evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents, which is the oppositeof the popularly held image of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past.” We were surprised by just how positive today’s young people seen to be about their families,” said one member of the research team. “They’re expected to be rebellious(叛逆的) and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds; they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. There’s more negotiation and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They don’t want to rock the boat.”So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends. “My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me,” says 17-years-old Daniel Lazall. “I always tell them when I’m going out clubbing. As long as they know what I’m doing, they’re fine with it.” Susan Crome, who is now 21,agrees.”Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long as I’d done al l my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that.”Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenagers’ rebellion is not roo ted in real facts. A researcher comments, “Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over.”4. The study shows that teenagers don’t want to ___A. share family responsibilityB. cause trouble in their familiesC. go boating with their familyD. make family decisions5. Compared with parents of 30 years ago, today’s parents___.A. go to clubs more often with their childrenB. are much stricter with their childrenC. care less about their children’s lifeD. give their children more freedom6. According to the author, teenage rebellion____.A. may be a false beliefB. is common nowadaysC. existed only in the 1960sD. resulted from changes in families7. Which title best gives the main idea of the passage?A. Discussion in family.B. Teenage education in family.C. Harmony in family.D. Teenage trouble in family.CThe days of the hunter are almost over in India. This is partly because there is practically nothing left to kill, and partly because some steps have been taken, mainly by banning tiger-shooting, to protect those animals which still survive.Some people say that Man is naturally a hunter. I disagree with this view. Surely our earliest forefathers, who at first possessed no weapons, spent their time digging for roots, and were no doubt themselves often hunted by meat-eating animals.I believe the main reason why the modern hunter kills is that he thinks people will admire his courage in overpowering dangerous animals. Of course, there are some who truly believe that the killing is not really the important thing, and that the chief pleasure lies in the joy of the hunt and the beauties of the wild countryside. There are also those for whom hunting in fact offers a chance to prove themselves and risk death by design; these men go out after dangerous animals like tigers, even if they say they only do it to rid the countryside of a threat. I can respect reasons like these, but they are clearly different from the need to strengthen your high opinion of yourself.The greatest big-game hunters expressed in their writings something of these finer motives. One of them wrote.“You must properly respect what you are aft er and shoot it cleanly and on the animal’s own territory(领地)。

ADear Jorge,Are you enjoying your break from school? My family are now in Sacramento, California. We are here paying a visit to visit to my aunt Gloria. We have been to the California State Capital Building, the nature center, and the zoo. I have seen many interesting things, but one stands out above the rest. This morning we drove from my aunt’s home to Calistoga to see California’s Old Faithful Geyser(老忠实泉). I had read about it in my book, Sightseeing in California; Where You Should Go.You have probably heard of Old Faithful, the geyser father north in Yellowstone National Park. This California geyser is sometimes called“ Little Old Faithful.”When we arrived California’s Old Faithful was only a calm pool of water. The geyser didn’t look very deep. “ What’s the big deal?” I wondered. As I turned, I saw some steam rising from the water. Before I knew it, there was hot water shooting up about 60 feet into the air. We could not believe our eyes! It continued for almost three minutes.Aunt Gloria told me that the water came from an underground river. She also said that the water temperature was about 95℃.

Wordlessly, she gave it to me.“Is it finished?” I asked.She shook her head. “No. It is ready,” she replied. I handed her the money and took the blanket.“It is beautiful, so skillfully woven(编织），” I said to my mother. “But what did she mean when she said it was not finished? How can it be ready if it is not finished?”“I will tell you later,” my mother said, “bu t first I will take you to the Navajo village.”We went down to the village. A group of young men were making sand pictures. We walked through the whole village, watching the different things the people were doing.It was not until that evening that my mother finally explained the Navajo woman’s words.“Did you notice anything about the things the people were making?” my mother asked.“What should I have noticed?”I looked at her and asked.“Each thing the Navajo make has one small part that is not complete. The designs in their sand pictures are often not perfectly done, for example---the line of a circle may not quite close. If you look carefully at your blanket, you will probably find a stitch(一针）missing.”I took the blanket off, but it looked as perfect as any design could be. Then suddenly, I noticed that sure enough a stitch was missing!“But why do the Navajo intentionally leave some tiny part unfinished?” I asked.“They believe that when anything is completed or finished, it means the end hascome--it will not be perfect until then. Then too, with a circle, they believe that they must leave a pathway for the bad spirits to run away and the good spirits to come in. So, often, they do not make the line close.”28. The blanket the author received_____ .A. was poorly woven.B. made her think a lot.C. cost her a lot of money.D. was finished, but not ready.29. Why was the author shown around the village?A.

You must always try to make your life complete.31. What’s the main idea of the text?A. The Navajo are good at making things.B. The Navajo are brave and hard-working.C. A blanket tells a lot about the Navajo culture.D. Skills are needed to do business with the Navajo.DThe way we cook is important. In many countries, the two sources of heat used for cooking are natural gas or electric stoves. The World Health Organization(WHO) warns that millions of people are dying every year from indoor air pollution. The WHO finds that poor cooking, heating and lighting technologies are killing millions of people each year.Indoor air pollution results from the use of dangerous fuels and cook stoves in the home. WHO officials say nearly three billion people are unable to use clean fuelsand technologies for cooking, heating and lighting. And they say more than seven million people die from exposure to indoor or outdoor air pollution each year. Of that number, the WHO says about 4.3 million people die from household air pollution given off by simple biomass(生物燃料）and coal stoves.These findings show that the home use of poisonous fuels is to blame for many of these deaths. These fuels include wood, coal, animal waste and so on. Carlos Dora is Coordinator in the WHO’ s Department of Public Health, Environmental and Social Determinants of Health. He says people should not use unprocessed coal and kerosene(煤油）fuel indoors. He says opening a window or door to let out the harmful air will not correct the situation. It will only pollute the outdoors. “New technologies and clean fuels can rid people of this problem.”The United Nations found that more than 95 percent of families in sub-Saharan Africa depend on solid fuels for cooking. It says huge populations in India, China and Latin American countries, such as Guatemala and Peru, are also at risk.Nigel Bruce is a professor of Public Health at the University of Liverpool. He says researchers are developing good stoves and other equipment to burn fuels in a more efficient way.“There are already many technologies for clean fuels available now. An effective and reasonably low-cost ethanol(酒精）stove that is made by Dometic (a Sweden-based company)is now being tested out. Another interesting development is electric induction stoves.” In India, you can buy an induction stove for about $8. And in Africa you can buy a solar lamp for less than $1.32. How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?A. By making classifications.B. By listing numbers.C. By following time order.D. By describing a process.33. According to Carlos Dora, what is the best solution to indoor air pollution?A. People should use an effective air cleaner.B. People should use new technologies and clean fuels.C. People should open a window or door to let out the harmful air.D. People should prevent themselves from being exposed to harmful air..34. What can we learn from the passage?A. Most of the deaths from indoor pollution are in developing countries.B. Burning solid fuels can help limit indoor air pollution .C. People can buy ethanol stoves made by Dometic in India.D. There are already two technologies for clean fuels available for use.35. Which would be the best title for the passage?A. The way we cook is changing.B. Cause of indoor air pollution.C. The development of electric stoves.D. Indoor air pollution kills millions each year.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。

An activity poster．BRecently, many e-commerce platforms, including Didi Taxi, Ctrip, Fliggy, JD and Taobao, have been uncovered that they are cheating their frequent customers. Their ways are pretty clever. When there are new users or conservative old users, they will give a quite appealing price to attract them into registering and buying goods. However, their big data is not that friendly to the stable users and frequent visitors. The system always offers them higher price for the same products or service. How does this happen? According to the data analysis, the system knows clearly that although they feel the price is high, they will finally pay the bill. By collecting and analyzing users’ profiles, buying habits and other information, big data recommends the same products to different users with different prices.Companies also try other ways to make money, making online consumption far more worrying. For example, video websites always offer 120 seconds’ advertisements, which drives people crazy. And even if you pay for the membership to get rid of the ads, you have to “enjoy” 15-secon d “private” ads. By broadcasting them, com panies make huge profits --- second to the membership fees. Also, owning 100Mbps network, you still put up with the slow speed when you are downloading a song. You have no choice but to become a VIP when you seek high quality services. Users seem to be lambs(羊羔) among wolves. Even though they say,” Since you have money, I’ll chargeyou more”, we can’t do anything about it.It pains us that we haven’t figured out a way to deal with the problem. The only thing we can do is replacing our iPhones with Android phones if we want to buy a membership card, and applying for new accounts if we want cheaper hotels. Not findinga way to fight back, we can’t do anything but accept them passively.4. How does big data serve companies according to the text?A. By being kind to all users.B. By giving a discount to stable users.C. By attracting new users by analyzing their shopping habits.D. By recommending the same products with higher prices to regular users.5. What do we know from the second paragraph?A. Membership can rid you of all the ads.B. Only by being a VIP can you get a better service.C. The slow download speed is due to your poor network.D. Advertising income is the biggest income for video websites.6. What is the author’ attitude towa rds the chances of finding a way to fight back?A. Uncertain.B. Casual.C. Negative.D. Positive.7. What is the main idea of the text?A. The big data provides helpful information to users.B. We have to accept online consumption as it is.C. There exist many online consumption traps.D. Regular customers are richer.CAntarctica’s melting ice, which has caused global sea levels to rise by at least 13.8 millimeters over the past 40 years, was thought to primarily come from the unstable West Antarctic Ice Sheet(WAIS). Now, scientists have found that the East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS)—considered largely unaffected by climate change—may also be melting at an unexpectedly rapid speed.The WAIS, whose base is below sea level, has long been considered the most likelyto break down. Besides gravity, a deep current of warm water slips beneath the sheet, melting it from below until it becomes a floating shelf at risk of breaking away. In contrast, extreme cold and a base mostly above sea level are thought to keep the EAIS relatively safe from warm waters.But as greenhouse gases warm much of the planet, driving stronger polar winds, some scientists think warm water carried by a circular current will start to invade East Antarctica’s once unassailable ice. A cooperation of more than 60 scientists last year, published in Nature, estimated that the EAIS actually added about 5 billion tons of ice each year from 1992 to 2017.Eric Rignot of the University of California, Irvine, and colleagues combined 40 years of satellite imagery and climate modeling and found that overall Antarctica now sends six times more ice into the sea each year than it did in 1979, with the majority coming from West Antarctica. But East Antarctica was responsible for more tha n 30% of Antarctica’s contribution to the 13.8-millimeter sea level rise over the past 40 years. “The more we look at this system the more we realize this is fragile,” Rignot says. “Once these glaciers become unstable there is no red button to press to sto p it.”Rignot hopes the study brings greater attention to a part of Antarctica that has traditionally been understudied. Helen Fricker, a glaciologist (冰川学家) in California, agrees. “We need to monitor the entire Antarctica and we just can’t do that without international cooperation.”8. What is the new finding of scientists?A. The east Antarctica is losing ice at an increasing rate.B. The west Antarctica is melting six times faster than in 1979.C. 5 billion tons of ice is added to Antarctica each year.D. The sea level has risen by 13.8 mm over the past 40 years.9. Which factor leads to the EAIS’s melting fast?A. A base mostly over sea level.B. The force of gravity.C. The invasion of a warm current.D. Extremely low temperature.10. Which of the following best explains “unassailable” underlined in Para. 3?A. Fragile.B. Unattackable.C. Mild.D. Unstable.11. Which way does Helen Fricker specially advocate?A. Satellite imagery.B. Global monitoring.C. Worldwide climate modeling.D. Worldwide combined effortsDModern lifestyles are generally quite different from those of our hunter-gatherer ancestors, a fact that some claim as the cause of the current rise in global obesity, but new results published July 25 in the open access journal PLOS ONE find that there is no difference between the energy expenditure(耗费) of modern hunter-gatherers and Westerners, casting doubt on this theory.The research team behind the study, led by Herman Pontzer of Hunter College in New York City, along with David Raichlen of the University of Arizona and Brian M. Wood of Stanford measured daily energy expenditure among the Hadza, a population of traditional hunter-gatherers living in the open Savannah of northern Tanzania. Despite spending their days hiking long distances to seek for wild plants and game, the Hadza burned no more calories each day than adults in the U.S. and Europe. The team ran several analyses accounting for the effects of body weight, body fat percentage, age, and gender. In all analyses, daily energy expenditure among the Hadza hunter-gatherers was indistinguishable(难以区分的) from that of Westerners. The study was the first to measure energy expenditure in hunter-gatherers directly; previous studies had relied entirely on estimates.These findings overturn the long-held assumption that our hunter-gatherer ancestors expended more energy than modern populations, and challenge the view that obesity in Western populations results from decreased energy expenditure. Instead, the similarity in daily energy expenditure across a broad range of lifestyles suggests that habitual metabolic(新陈代谢的) rates are relatively constant among human populations. This in turn supports the view that the current rise in obesity is due to increased food consumption, not decreased energy expenditure. It means we have more to learn about human physiology(生理学) and health, particularly in non-Western settings."These results highlight the complexity of energy expenditure. It's not simply a function of physical activity," says Pontzer.” Our metabolic rates may be morea reflection of our shared evolutionary past than our diverse modern lifestyles."12. According to the new research, hunter-gatherers consume _________.A. the same energy as WesternersB. more energy than WesternersC. less energy than WesternersD. the same food as Westerners13. How did the research team do the new research?A. By comparing hiking distances.B. By identifying wild plants and game.C. By estimating daily energy expenditure.D. By measuring daily energy expenditure.14. People have long assumed that _________.A. the rise in obesity is due to increased food consumptionB. decreased energy expenditure makes Westerners fatC. daily energy expenditure stays the same in historyD. humans’ habitual metabolic rates are unchanged15. Which of the following can reflect our shared evolutionary past?A. Our physiology activity.B. Our energy expenditure.C. Our metabolic rates.D. Our modern lifestyle.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。

An advertisementD. A business planBWhen rabbits first crossed into Western Australia (WA) from South Australia (SA), their progress seemed surprisingly fast.Thomas Austin, an English settler in Australia, first released wild rabbits from England in 1859, at Winchelsea in southern Victoria of Australia. By 1891, 32 years later, they’d reached Fowlers Bay on South Australia’s southwest coast about 1,250 km away--- covering an average of 40 km a year. But just five years later, in 1896, they were spotted 640 km further west in Twilight Cove, south of Cocklebiddy, in WA--- spreading, on average, at 130 km a year.How did they more than triple(使增至三倍) their previous rate? With help, it seems, from humankind. In his 1969 book, They All Ran Wild, farmer-author Eric Rolls described rabbits as generally unadventurous. They’d much prefer a stable life in a safe place with a familiar community than to be travelling. Only floods, food shortage or very serious overcrowding force them to move.By the 1880s rabbits were spreading through SA and humans were helping them. People released rabbits for sport, food or to remind them of the old country. And they killed possible predators(食肉动物) such as wedge- tailed eagles and dingoes. Eric Rolls wrote, swaggies(流浪汉) were the main human helpers. “In that container as they walked west out of South Australiawas often a nest of three-week-old rabbit kittens completely furred and beautiful, to be set down at a good big rock-hole with some grass about it.”The rabbits’ westward speed from the border put an end to any idea that WA’s bad environment would block the invasion. They stuck close to what’s now the Eyre Highway, then moved southward to follow the better vegetated coastline. About the same time further north, rabbits were pouring into WA from the Northern Territory.Rabbits reached the west coast in 1907, the year the third fence was completed. The following year, when a WA Rabbit Department official visited the Kalbarri end of the fence, he found rabbits up and down the coast on both sides of it.25. What do we know about the first rabbits in Australia?A. They escaped from a house.B. They were from Western Australia.C. They were set free by human beings.D. They were born at Winchelsea.26.How did Eric Rolls describe rabbits?A. They had a habit of changing places.B. They didn’t like taking risks.C. They had a liking for travelling.D. They could hardly survive floods.27. Why did people think rabbits could not reach Western Australia at the beginning?A. The distance was too long.B. The rock holes were not good shelter.C. The natural conditions were poor.D. The coastline was not their favorite place.28. What did the WA Rabbit Department official find out?A. Rabbits had invaded the west coast.B. Rabbits were jumping over the fence.C. Kalbarri was the end of the fence.D. The third fence was damaged.CA primary school in Britain has put up signs to warn parents, who are addicted to playing with their phones, to greet their children with a smile rather than stare at their screens. It has become a common sight at the school gates to see children running up to their parents, only to find their parents are absorbed in reading news online, reading e-books, or watching their favorite videos.Now the headmaster at a primary school in Middlesbrough has put up the signs at all three entrances to the school. The signs say, “Greet your child with a smile, not a mobile.” And under the words, a picture of a woman holding a phone to her ear is crossed out in a red circle. The headmaster said, “We are trying to develop students’speaking and listening skills and we think it is a simple way to get the message across. It isn’t only an issue among parents, but it also emphasizes that speaking and listening can help students to have discussions.”The move had different responses. Danielle Parker, a parent, said, “I think the signs are unacceptable because most parents pick their children up with phones. ” Another parent said, “It’s a good thing. Greeting children with smiles can also develop the relationship between parents andchildren.” Some parents when questioned were hesitant about the signs. Lindan Bradley, a pupil at the school, said he agreed with the signs, saying, “Why should children see parents playing their mobile phones all the time?”Last year, research warned that parents’ devotion to cellphones had made some neglected children start primary school unable to hold conversations. Almost a third of children are not ready for the classroom when they start school.29. Why did the school put up signs at its entrances?A. To encourage parents to meet pupils with smiles.B. To describe a common sight of its school gates.C. To remind pupils to be careful while walking.D. To introduce the primary school to parents.30. What does the underlined “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Playing with the phones.B. Greeting children.C. Putting up sighs.D. Smiling.31. What’s the third paragraph mainly about?A. Parents’ attitude to the school.B. Mixed opinions about the signs.C. Ideas from pupils of this school.D. Comments on playing with phones.32. What maybe the effect of parents’ devotion to playing phones?A. It may reduce pupils’ time spent on phones.B. It may discourage students from working hard.C. It may make students be addicted to computer games.D. It may cause children to lack the ability of communication.DWhen I got off the bus in Mae Hong Son in Thailand, I still felt a bit dizzy after all the curves(弯道) when coming from Chiang Mai. But when I burst into the small night market and got the astonishing view of the temple, the lights sparking in the lake right in front of it made the hardship of the bus ride a distant memory.During my six-week voluntary work, this became my favorite place. The sunsets, lights, and delicious food always drew me closer. Actually this temple turned out to be my place of living for my stay in Mae Hong Son.Thanks to Travel-to-Teach, I got the opportunity to live in a small room inside the temple area and meet all the friendly Thais who lived and worked there. Around noon I would walk down the 213 steps to go to school, where all the monks(和尚) were happy to catch as many English words or phrases as they could. After school I would walk around the town to explore the market, the shops or simply the countryside. But the 213 steps waited for me at the end of the day! I usually walked them up happily, because I knew savory and traditional Thai-Yai food was waiting for me.The town itself had a special charm for me.
