The books were a great success even though some critics did not like them.Thomas Jefferson did not like what Comte de Buffon had said about the natural wonders （奇观）of the New World. It seemed to Jefferson that Comte de Buffon had spoken of natural wonders in America as if they were unimportant.This troubled Thomas Jefferson.

He put it in the English language dictionary in 1806, “Belittle—to make small, unimportant.”word and started to use it. In 1797, the Americans had already accepted Jefferson’sIndependent Chronicle used the word to describe a politician the paper supported. “It i s anthe paper wrote, “so let the opposition try to belittle him as much as they honorable man,” please.”In 1872, a famous American word expert decided that the time had come to kill this word.He said, “Belittle shouldn’t become English.

Ever since I was a little girl, horses have been my passion. My dream was to ride a horse. When that time finally came near my anxious little life, my heart beat a thousand times a minute.It was a warm summer day in Odessa, Ukraine, and we were at a park. While my mom was buying things, I looked around and saw a figure from heaven: a four-legged beautiful animal .He was shining white, with a well-brushed tail .Right away I thought that I could ride this horse. I turned to mom to get some money. The owner was back and said that it was his horse and I couldn't ride it. A warm stream of tears flooded down my cheeks as my mom tried to ask the man to let me ride the horse. He finally agreed for a high price. He taught me how to get on the horse and explained to me that it was important to keep heels down and arms steady. The beat of the horse ’s trot awakened all the senses in me and I knew I was the happiest little girl in Ukraine at that time. I began planning how I was going to buy a horse after I became a millionaire. Before I knew it, the ride was over. Surprisingly, I actually learned to control the horse.That day was probably the happiest time of my life. Several years later, after coming to Americ a, I began to take part in show jumping. If it weren't for that time in Ukraine, I wouldn't be able to enjoy the most amazing sport, which requires you and an animal truly to bond .（）31. Where did the writer see the white horse?A. In the zoo B In a parkC. In a marketD. In a show.（）32. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. The writer and that horse took part in show jumping later.B.

Which of the following is the right order according to the story?①The girl looked for her mom to get some money②The girl saw the beautiful animal③The owner refused them④The owner taught her how to ride the horse⑤The girl cried sadlyA.②⑤③④①B.②①③⑤④C.②①⑤④③D.②⑤④③①（）34. What can we infer from the passage?A The horse could be easily controlledB. The horse owner was a kind and rich man.C The experience opened doors for her to get into the sportD. The writer's mother loved the horse as much as her daughter（）35.What could be the best title for the story?A Love for Horses B. Interest in SportsC An Exciting DreamD An Amazing Ride（C）Technology has become a necessary and important part of our lives. It has changed our lives greatly. In many ways, it makes life more convenient for us: we can send messages quickly through the Internet, cook meals in a few minutes in a microwave, and book train tickets online instead of walking to the station. However, in our increasingly technology-driven world, have we become a ddicted to technology?Not too long ago, many children enjoyed reading a good book in their spare time. Nowadays, teenagers are more likely to be seen playing video games or watching television. Some people even say they can't go without watching their favourite TV programmes.Similarly, sending letters has become a thing of the past. It has been replaced by email messaging and other social media. I think this is a huge shame; for me, there's nothing better than receiving a letter in the post. It shows someone has taken the time to sit down and write something; this is much more private than a conversation online. And for some people, especially the old, new ways of communication aren't so easy to use. I often send letters and postcards to my grandma to tell her about my life in France .The presence of social media has, in some ways, turned us into anti-social beings. Instead of meeting up with friends and seeing them face to face, We now spend a lot of time communicating online. Although online communication habits advantages--- especially, enabling us to keep in touch with loved ones in different countries, we shouldn't forget the value of real-life human interaction. It is ,after all, in our nature to socialize with others !Admittedly, I spend a lot of time using technology. I depend on the Internet and my laptop to p lan lessons for my classes. I use wifi on my phone to send messages via apps such as Viber and Snapchat. Even so ,when I’m on holiday it is nice to turn it all off and have a break .Taking a break from technology is setting yourself free.（）36.The phrase “addicted to”in Paragraph 1 probably means“”.A. skillful atB. interested inC. dependent on C. disappointed at（）37.What does the writer think of sending letters?A. It wastes a lot of time and energy.B. It's something out-of-date and shameful.C. It's a better way to communicate with relatives .D It's a more personal and caring way of communication .（）38.From Paragraph 4 we know that the writer thinks .A .social media makes people separated and lonely.B. it's important for people to communicate face to face.C. people have better skills in communication because of social mediaD. online communication has more advantages than real -life communication.（）39. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT because of the developmentof technology?A. Contact with beloved ones as often as possible no matter where they are.B. Cook meals in a few minutes using microwave.C. Having meetings with staff in different countries .D. Walk to buy tickets at the station（）40. what's the writer's purpose of writing this passage .A. To direct people to spend free time properly .B. To remind people to make reasonable use of technology .C .To encourage people to take full advantage of social mediaD. To advise people to communicate with each other more often .(D)Enjoy real American jazz from Herbiz Davis, a famous trumpet player.

Without saying a word, as if they both understood that this was a secret they didn’t want to share with anyone, they slipped into the alley, where no one could see them look inside \pile of hundred- dollar bills. Amy, the morerealistic of the two, did a quick estimate, thumbing through the wad of cash. \in disbelief. They’d found the wallet in a flowerbed by the sidewalk, when Charlie dropped his cell phone while he was trying to talk and eat a slice of pepperoni pizza at the same time. Amy stuffed the wallet into her backpack and pulled Charlie along by his elbow toward her house. As they rushed toward Viceroy Avenue, they talked excitedly about what they could do with the money-buy gifts for parents and friends, get new clothes, travel to the rainforest in Costa Rica, and adopt a whale. It looked like all of their dreams would come true. For the last block, however, they didn’t talk. Each began to suspect that the other one was silently adding to the list of things they could buy. They finally reached Amy s house, but instead of going inside, they walked 2 around the house to the backporch. They opened the wallet and counted the money into piles of ten. The total wasS2400- more money than either of them had ever seen. Then they both started talking at once. \sinking from the high of being rich for fifteen minutes to resigning themselves to what they must do next. For in the wallet’s clear plastic compartment, there was a driver’s license. They knew what they had to do. Although they would lose their newly-found treasure, in a way, they felt relieved. 24.

On their way to Amy’s house, the children’s mood changed from A excited to suspicious B. happy to angry C relieved to worried D. nervous to disappointed 27. What did the children decide to do at the end of the story? A. To keep the money a secret from others B. To return the wallet to its rightful owner C. To put the wallet back where they found it. D. To buy many different things with the money. C An article published in the prestigious scientific journal Nature sheds new light on an important, but up-to-now little appreciated, aspect of human evolution. In this article Professors Dennis Bramble and Daniel Lieberman suggest that being able to run was the necessary condition for the development of our species which enabled us to come down from the trees. This challenges traditional scientific thinking, which claims that the distinctive, uprightbody form of modern humans has come about as a result of the ability to walk, and that running is simply a by-product of walking. 3 Furthermore, humans have usually been regarded as poor runners compared to such animals as dogs, horses or deer. However, this is only true if we consider running at high speed, especially over short distances. But when it comes to long-distance running, humans do astonishingly well. They can keep a steady pace for many kilometres, and their overall speed is at least the same as that of horses or dogs Bramble and Lieberman examined 26 physical features found in humans. One of the most interesting of these is the nuchal ligament(项韧带). When we run, this ligament prevents our head from moving back and forth or from side to side. Therefore, we are able to run with steady heads, held high. The nuchal ligament isnot found in any other surviving primates, such as apes and monkeys. Then there are our Achilles tendons (跟腱) at the backs of our legs, which connect our calf muscles to our heel bones —and which have nothing to do with walking. When we run, these tendons behave like springs, helping to push us forward. Furthermore, we have low, wide shoulders virtually disconnected from our skulls(颅骨), a physical development which allows us to run more efficiently. But what evolutionary advantage is gained from being good long-distance runners? Perhaps it permitted early humans to obtain food more effectively. \features and facts appear to be telling us is that running evolved in order for our direct ancestors to compete with other meat-eating animals for access to the protein needed to grow the big brains that we enjoy today,\forward the theory that early humans chased animalsfor great distances in order to exhaust them before killing them. \controversial, \many researchers to reevaluate and further investigate how humans learned to run and walk and why we are built the way we are. \28. In paragraph 1, what do the two professors suggest about humans’ ability to run? A. It is an evolutionary by-product of walking. B. I t helps to form people’s ability to climb trees. C. It has played an important role in human evolution. D. It has not been adequately studied by scientists before. 29. What is true about the physical characteristics examined by the professors? A. Achilles tendons assist people to walk long distances. B. The human skull helps people to run more efficiently. 4 C. people’s shoulders allow them to look from side to side. D. The nuchal ligament enables people to hold their head steady.30. According to paragraph 3, scientistsbelieve that early humans_________. A. always came across dangerous situations in life B. ran after animals for long distances when hunting C often failed to find food because they couldn’t run fast D developed their hunting skills by running long distances 31. Professor Lieberman thinks the new theory will _________. A completely explain how running developed B revolutionize the theory of human evolution C. encourage more in-depth studies on the topic D. be widely supported within the scientific community D Scientists have solved the mystery of why the overwhelming majority of mammoth fossils(化石)are male. Much like wild elephants today, young male Ice Age mammoths probably travelled around alone and more often got themselves into risky situations where they were swept into rivers, or fell through ice or into mud, lakes or sinkholesthat preserved their bones for thousands of years, scientists say. Females, on the other hand, travelled in groups led by an older matriarch who knew the landscape and directed her group away from danger. \the benefit of living in a herd led by an experienced female, male mammoths had a much higher risk of dying in natural traps such as mud holes, rock cracks and lakes, \co-author Love Dalen of the Swedish Museum of Natural History in a report published on Thursday in the journal Current Biology. The study used genetic data to determine the sex of 98 woolly mammoth fossils in Siberia Researchers found that 69% of the samples were male, a heavily unbalanced sex ratio, assuming that the sexes were fairly even at birth \fossil record,\said first author Patricia Pecnerova, also of the Swedish Museum of 5Natural History. Therefore, researchers believe that something about the way they lived influenced the way they died. Most bones, tusks, and teeth from mammoths and other Ice Age animals haven’t survived,\\preserved because they have been buried, and thus protected from weathering.\These giant, tusked plant eaters disappeared about 4,000 years ago. While there is no scientific agreement about the causes of their disappearance from the planet, most believe that climate change, excessive hunting by humans and the spread of other animals into mammoth feeding grounds were influential factors.32. The underlined word \A. figure headB. female leader C experienced animal D. mature mammoth 33. Why do the majority of mammoth fossils come from male animals? A. Scientists find it easier to study malefossilised bones. B. There were more male mammoths in comparison to females C Male mammoths were better able to adapt to the changing circumstances. D. Male mammoths more frequently died in places where fossils could form. 34. Which of the following is suggested as a reason for mammoths dying out? A. The increasing competition for food. B. The cooling of the earth’s temperature. C. The disappearance of male mammoths. D The risky behaviour of younger mammoths. 35. What is the text type of the passage? A. A newspaper article. 第二节根据短文内容，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。
