The United States is their favorite destination. The report from Hurun, a wealth research firm that focuses on China, said that one-third of China's super rich,or those worth $ 16 million or more,have already migrated. The data show the massive numbers of rich Chinese taking their families and fortunes overseas. Previous studies show the main reasons rich Chinese are leaving is to pursue better educations for their kids, and to escape the pollution and overcrowding in urban China. But analysts say there is another reason the Chinese rich are fleeing: to protect their fortunes. With the Chinese government starting the campaign against corruption, many of the Chinese rich,who made their money through some connection or favors from government,want to keep their money what is hard for the Chinese government to reach. According to Wealth Insight, the Chinese wealthy now have about $658 billion stored in offshore assets(资产). Boston Consulting Group puts the number lower, at around $ 450 billion, but says offshore investments are expected to double in the next three years. The mass millionaire migration out of China is also hitting luxury companies hard. Hurun said China's luxury sales last year fell 15 percent,the biggest drop in over a half a decade. Spending on gifts, which made up a sizable portion of luxury sales, fell 25 percent. In other words, it isn't that wealthy buyers in China are spending less,they're just disappearing. Most are looking for permanent residences, Hurun said. The United States was their top destination, which any real estate agent in San Francisco, Seattle or New York can confirm. Europe is their second favorite destination, followed by 4 Canada, Australia, Singapore and Hong Kong. 1(Some Chinese millionaires migrate abroad ________.

I'm Jan from Mrs. Lake's class. My class wants to work together to help the public. We think we have found a great way to do this. Last month we did a class project on the highways near our town. We learned about the 5 Adopt-a-Highway Program. This program brings people together to pick up litter along the roads. We think it would be a great idea for all students in our school to join the program and adopt a highway. Adopting a highway is not like adopting a pet. When a highway is adopted, only part of the highway is cared for by a group of people. The group agrees to work every week to keep its part of the highway clean. Each group gets its own sign that has the name of the group printed on it. The sign is put up at the side of the road. This sign lets drivers know who is keeping that area of the road clean. The Adopt-a-Highway Program is a great way for people to help their environment look nicer. Also, the government does not have to send out as many road workers. This saves money. Finally, people may try harder to keep roads clean if they see people, especially teenagers like us, cleaning them up. We will need helpers to care for our adopted highway. If you want to feel great and keep our roads clean, please come with your parents to the meeting next week. We will meet in Mrs. Lake's room on Wednesday at 6:00 P(M. At the meeting, we will talk about which roads are the dirtiest as a result of people's unkind acts. Then we'll try to pick an area to adopt and clean up. I look forward to seeing you at the meeting. Remember to keep our roads clean! 4(What is the Adopt-a-Highway Program about? A(Giving names to the highways. B(Drawing pictures of highways. C(Picking up litter along the roads.

That was the finding of a study that builds on earlier study findings. They show that individuals who live or work in low levels of light overnight can develop clinical depression. Doctors use the word “clinical depression” to describe severe form of depression. Signs may include loss of interest or pleasure in most activities, low energy levels and thoughts of death or suicide. In the new study, American investigators designed an experiment that 14 exposed hamsters(仓鼠) to different colors. The researchers chose hamsters because they are nocturnal, which means they sleep during the day and are active at night. The animals were separated into four groups. One group of hamsters was kept in the dark during their night-time period. Another group was placed in front of a blue light, a third group slept in front of a white light, while a fourth was put in front of a red light. After four weeks, the researchers noted how much sugary water the hamsters drank. They found that the most depressed animals drank the least amount of water. Randy Nelson heads the Department of Neuroscience at Ohio State University. He says animals that slept in the blue light and white light appeared to be the most depressed. “What we saw is that these animals didn't show any sleep uneasiness at all but they did mess up biological clock genes and they did show depressive sign, while if they were in the dim red light, they did not. ” Randy Nelson notes that photosensitive (感光的) cells in the eyes have little to do with eyesight. He says these cells send signals to the area of the brain that controls what has been called the natural sleep-wake cycle. He says there's a lot of blue in the white light. This explains why the blue light and white light hamsters appear to be more depressed than the hamsters seeing the red light or darkness. 1. Researchers use hamsters in the experiment because ________. A. they are similar to humans in dealing with colors B. they are easy to observe and study C. they are sensitive to colors like human beings D. they are active at night and sleep during the day 2. What sign shows that the hamsters are depressed? A. They drink less sugary water. B. They don't sleep well. C. Their eyesight becomes worse. D. Their energy level becomes low. 3. ________ tends to cause hamsters to be depressed. 15 A. A dim light B. A red light C. A blue light D. Darkness 4. What can help people who work late at night to avoid being depressed? A. Not being exposed to a dim red light when using computers. B. Equipping their computer screen to put it more in a reddish light. C. Living or working in low levels of light overnight. D. Going to see doctors of clinical depression regularly for help. 答案: 【语篇解读】 这是一篇科普文。美国的研究人员通过动物实验发现，通 宵在昏暗的光线下生活和工作的人可能会患上重度抑郁症。 1. D 详细分析:细节理解题。第二段说～选择仓鼠作为实验对象是因为 它们白天睡觉～夜间活动～因此选D。 2.

He wanted to talk with Cecile Doyle about 1958—the year his mother, who was seriously ill, passed away. Her death came just days before Christmas. Cruitt had been expecting to go home from school and decorate the Christmas tree. “When I found out she died, I could certainly relate to that, because when I was 11, my own father died，” Doyle tells Cruitt at StoryCorps in Monroe, N(Y.“And you just don't know how you're going to go on without that person.” When Cruitt returned to school, Doyle waited until all of the other children left the room at the end of the day, and told him that she was there if he needed her. “Then you kissed me on the head，” Cruitt says. “And I felt that things 16 really would be OK.” “Well, Cruitt, I'm so glad that I could be there with you for that time，” says Doyle, 82. Decades after his mother's death, Cruitt began to think more and more of Doyle. He finally wrote a letter: Dear Mrs. Doyle， If you are not the Cecile Doyle who taught English at Emerson School in Kearny, N(J., then I'm embarrassed, and you can disregard the letter. My name is John Cruitt, and I was in your third-grade class during the 1958—1959 school year. Two days before Christmas, my mother passed away, and you told me that you were there if I needed you. I hope life has been as kind to you as you were to me. God bless you. John Cruitt Doyle says his letter, which arrived in February, could not have come at a better time.

Although it may seem strange, they were all kids once too. So much has changed since their childhood; each generation is more different than the next. Now let's go back to when most of your parents probably grew up,the seventies. Life has completely changed since then. There are the biggest differences between now and then. Fashion is constantly changing. When we think of seventies fashion, bell 24 bottoms, tie-dye shirts, and anything hippie(嬉皮士) comes to mind. Back in the seventies, skirts, leisure suits, and bell bottoms were popular. Nowadays, huge fashion trends for teens include Ugg boots, yoga pants, skinny jeans, and skater shoes. Teen fashion back then was greatly influenced by the anti-war movement; whereas today, fashion is mostly influenced by media and pop culture. Furthermore, music and pop culture play a huge role in how we live today. In the seventies, popular music types included soft rock, rock, and of course disco. Back then, some popular artists included Elton John, the Jackson 5, and the Bee Gees. Today, the charts are ruled by hip-hop, rap, and pop music. Now the most well-known singers include Taylor Swift, Justin Timberlake, and Miley Cyrus. Music trends can change how we act, speak, and view the world. This is definitely true for both the seventies and now. Another thing that also defines our culture is technology. Today, teens refuse to go anywhere without having their cell phones on them. An iPhone is a necessity and Twitter is the heart and soul of our social lives. But none of this even existed back then. Now teens depend on technology to socialize but back then kids actually had face time with each other. Definitely one of the biggest changes in society since the seventies is our dependence on technology. 1(What have a main influence on current fashion? A(Anti-war movement and time.

They are quicker to learn and absorb new concepts, and display higher levels of concentration. Professor Anne Bamford, of the University of the Arts London, studied the effectiveness of 3D content in 15 schools across seven countries, including the UK. Pupils in 3D classes can remember more than those in 2D classes after four weeks, improving test scores by an average of 17 percent compared with eight percent for 2D lessons. They gave more detailed answers to the tasks and were more likely to think in 3D, using hand gestures and mime (比手画脚) to answer the test questions successfully. The teachers commented that the pupils in the 3D groups had deeper understanding, increased attention span, more motivation and higher engagement in the lessons. 33 Children are used to 3D with the rise of computer games that use the technology—90 percent of those in the study had seen a 3D film. Schools would need 3D-enabled projectors(投影仪), laptops with good picture capabilities, 3D software and glasses for children to introduce animations (动画片) into classrooms. But Danny Nicholson, an educationist, said the technology would be impractical to use in schools and could be costly. He said, “While I think the idea of 3D technology is very interesting, I worry that 3D is a bit of an expensive gimmick (噱头). There are a few cases where a true 3D image might help, but most of the time, good 2D models that can be moved would be just as effective. ” In the US, one school district in Colorado is already in the process of having 1,000 3D projectors fixed in classrooms. And the University of Caledonia, which carries out scientific research into the Lake Tabon Basin, has used 3D presentations with Grade Six pupils. Those who watched the 3D presentations were more engrossed and reported a general increase in their interest in science compared with students who watched the 2D version. 1. What is the main idea of the first three paragraphs? A. There are slight differences between 3D and 2D images. B. Pupils perform better when 3D images are used in classes. C. Schools have difficulty in making full use of 3D technology. D. 3D technology is always more effective than 2D technology. 2. Danny Nicholson holds the view that 3D ________. A. is of no help in classes B. has a bright future in classes C. is more practical than 2D models D. may not be affordable for schools 3. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. 3D technology will replace 2D models in the future. B. Many pupils are now more interested in science than before. C. Teachers will use 3D technology through specific training.

It was last March and my brother, sister and I stayed home after yet another snowstorm. We dressed warmly and ran out of the house to collect money and canned goods. Some people slammed their doors in our faces and others told us they already donated at their churches. We still continued, though. To our surprise, the people who we expected to be the most generous weren't. The “well-to-do” gave little or nothing at all, while the poorest gave everything they could afford. In the first couple of hours, we raised $60 and during the following three days of going door to door, we collected about $1,000. We then went to the grocery store and bought rice, potatoes, macaroni(通 心粉) and juice. Afterwards we arranged the food and put it into 25 colored laundry baskets, each also containing a three-pound ham. Finally, right before the holiday, my family and I made the deliveries(递 送). As the people opened their doors and saw what we had brought, they were very happy. Big smiles on the once-sad faces were symbolic of how happy they 35 truly were. Most of them replied, “Now we can have an Easter dinner.” This event was very meaningful for my family and me. We learned to appreciate all we once took for granted. We also learned that to achieve a goal, hard work and patience are necessary. I strongly advocate that all get involved in some aspect of community service. It is surely an unforgettable experience! 5(What does the underlined expression “well-to-do” in the second paragraph mean? A(Rich. B(Simple. C(Poor. D(Good. 6(What are necessary to achieve a goal?

Now home to Queen Elizabeth ?， it's been the British Monarchy's official London digs since 1837. National Geographic Kids slipped behind the guarded gates to find the palace's coolest features. 1. FANCY FEAST For special dinners, a team of 21 chefs whips_up dishes that are served on solid gold plates. Even Her Majesty's pet dogs receive meals of lamb and cabbage in silver bowls. Good thing the kitchen is well stocked—the Queen welcomes about 50,000 dining guests every year. 2.

One study involved sixty-eight healthy young women and men who ran at least twenty-four kilometers a week. The runners were observed on a treadmill machine (跑步机). Sometimes they wore running shoes. Other times they ran barefoot (赤脚的)( Researchers from the JKM Technologies company in Virginia, the University of Virginia and the University of Colorado did the study. They found that running shoes create more stress that could damage knees, hips and ankle joints than running barefoot. They observed that the effect was even greater than the effect reported earlier for walking in high heels. The study appeared in the official scientific journal of the American Academy of Physical Medicine. The other study appeared in the journal Nature. It compared runners in the United States and Kenya. The researchers were from Harvard University in Massachusetts, Moi University in Kenya and the University of Glasgow in Scotland. They divided the runners into three groups. One group had always run shoeless. Another group had always run with shoes. And the third group had changed to shoeless running. Runners who wear shoes usually come down heel first. That puts great force on the back of the foot. But the study found that barefoot runners generally 46 land on the front or middle of their foot. That way they ease into their landing and avoid striking their heels. Harvard's Daniel Lieberman led the study. He says the way most running shoes are designed may explain why those who wear them land on their heels. The heel of the shoe is bigger and heavier than other parts of the shoe, so it would seem more likely to come down first. Also, the heel generally has thick material under it to soften landings. But the researchers do not suggest that runners immediately start running barefoot. They say it takes some training. And there can be risks, like running when your feet are too cold to feel if you get injured. The study was partly supported by Vibram, which makes a kind of footwear that it says is like running barefoot. The findings have gotten a lot of attention. But the researchers say there are many problems in the way the press has reported in their paper. So they have tried to explain their findings on a Harvard website. 4. What's the main idea of the passage? A. Walking in high heels could have fewer serious effects than running barefoot. B. Two new discoveries encourage people to run in high heels. C. Running in shoes is partly good to runners. D. Two new studies prove running without shoes is beneficial to runners in most cases. 5. Which part of our body could be injured if we run in running shoes? A. Toes. B. Hips. C. Feet. D. Legs. 6. What can we learn from the passage? A. The way that we run by landing on the front or middle of our foot could avoid damaging our heel. B. We should start running barefoot in no time. C. Running in modern running shoes could have more serious effects than running in high heels. D. We won't be injured if we run barefoot. 7. What is the writer's attitude towards the use of the modern running shoes? 47 A. Persuasive. B. Negative. C. Objective. D. Supportive. 答案: 【语篇解读】 两项新的研究表明，穿着跑鞋跑步会增加跑步者受伤的风 险，赤脚跑步反而可以避免这些损伤。 4.

C 详细分析:态度推断题。本文作者只是客观地介绍了两项研究结果～ 并没有对现代跑鞋的使用发表自己的看法～因此选择C。 C I hear this from people all the time:“It's expensive to eat healthily.” To be clear, I understand that organic bread is a lot more expensive than Pop Tarts, but I also know that you can't put a price tag on your health or your life. I also know that the same people who tell me they can't afford to eat healthily are spending upwards of $30 a week on coffee, $6 or $7 for a pack of cigarettes, and at least $3 every day at the vending machine, but they can't afford to buy fresh fruit because it's “too expensive”. Wake up, people! You are either going to spend your money at the grocery store or the doctor's office. If you think buying a few extra bananas is expensive, try pricing out diabetes, cancer, heart disease, or any number of other diseases that can be controlled, or avoided through diet. Eating well and taking care of yourself is not a privilege reserved for the well-off,it's a right that everyone should exercise! I'm not rich by any means, but I budget my money in such a way that I can afford to eat healthfully. Some weeks I may not be able to afford lots of organics and other specialty items, but I 48 can always afford to throw a couple extra bananas and apples in my grocery cart, along with some vegetables and a dozen eggs. As a certified health coach, I work with so many people struggling with their health. When I tell them that the road to recovery can be found in their very own kitchens, they look so skeptical; that's because society wants us to believe that we have to buy a certain diet book, or invest in some fancy piece of gym equipment to make a change. There are so many things money can't buy, such as good health, longevity. It's time to focus on what your life depends on! Don't “cheap out” on your health. Start to make the investment today! 8(What can we learn by reading the first paragraph? A(Most people have little money for healthy food. B(Coffee costs almost the most in every family.

For the past two years, he and his neighbors have had to put up with a level of noise that disrupts their sleep and causes stress. “When the developers sought the permission for the seven giant turbines(涡轮机) in this area, they guaranteed there would be no disturbing sounds，” he says. The wind farm is managed by Wind Prospect, Bruce Allen, a director of Wind Prospect, said that the fact that no action had been taken to close the wind farm suggested it had not broken planning regulations. He added: “The noise is a subjective thing,like living next to a busy road. We have fixed special noise reduction software.” The government has plans to double the number of wind farms in an effort to get 20 percent of electricity from renewable sources. Wind farms are gaining popularity as power companies take advantage of generous government subsidies(补贴) and apply to build turbines on windy sites. Wind power also receives strong support from environmental groups such as Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth, which believe the cost to the 54 countryside in noise and disfigured landscapes is worth paying for the benefit of reduced air pollution. Residents, however, argue that having a series of giant wind turbines near their homes transforms a quiet neighborhood into an ugly industrial site. Among the other unpleasant effects documented by residents' opposition groups are many more visits to the doctor. Angela Kelly, who chairs the anti, wind farm residents' campaign group, Country Guardian, claims they make people ill. Although wind farms are usually in less populated rural areas, there are no fixed rules about how near they can be to homes. Government advisers recommend they shouldn't be less than 1.5 kilometers from any house, but developers go as close as 500 meters. Although Country Guardian have helped to stop the building of many proposed turbines in the past decade, they say the pressure to build more turbines is steadily increasing. 1. According to Bruce Allen, the wind farm in Furness ________. A. will be closed sooner or later B. will be moved to some other place C. doesn't cause much inconvenience D. is benefitting local residents greatly 2. Which of the following opposes the building of wind farms? A. Wind Prospect. B. Greenpeace. C. Friends of the Earth. D. Country Guardian. 3. It can be inferred from the text that power companies building wind farms ________. A. do nothing about the noise B. have the backing of the government C. are trying hard not to ruin the landscapes D. take local residents' suggestions seriously 4. What is the text mainly about? A. The positive side of clean power. B. The difficulty wind farms are facing. 55 C. The way people feel about wind turbines. D. The way to reduce the number of wind turbines. 答案: 【语篇解读】 本文是议论文。文章主要讨论风力发电的利与弊。 1. C 详细分析:细节理解题。由第二段中Bruce Allen所说的The noise is a subjective thing,like living next to a busy road可知～他认为风力发电厂不会 给大家造成太多不便。 2. D 详细分析:推理判断题。由全文内容可知～Wind Prospect是负责建 风力发电厂的～ Greenpeace和Friends of the Earth也支持风力发电～只有 Country Guardian这个组织持反对态度。 3. B 详细分析:推理判断题。由第三段的Wind farms are gaining popularity as power companies take advantage of generous government subsidies and apply to build turbines on windy sites可知～政府支持建风力发电厂。 4. C 详细分析:主旨大意题。本文主要从正反两方面说明人们对风力发 电的态度。 ?.七选五 (2014?包头一模) Everyone wants to perform well at school.

Dr. Sergio Canavero believes that the technology now allows doctors to carry out the Frankenstein,style procedure, which has been tested out on animals since 1970. Up until now there has been no way to successfully reconnect the spinal cord (脊 髓), leaving the subjects paralyzed from the point where the transplant was connected. Recent advances have meant that reconnecting the spinal cord is now possible, and it is believed that the breakthrough means that previously deadly diseases could be cured. However, other experts cannot accept the idea. Professor Anthony Warrens, from the British Transplantation Society, said, “Connecting a head to a body is impossible for human beings today. The whole idea is bizarre.” In 1970 Robert White successfully transplanted the head of a rhesus monkey (恒河猴) onto the body of a second rhesus, and Dr. Sergio Canavero, a 65 member of the Turin Advanced Neuromodulation Group, has suggested a similar method. “The greatest technical difficulty in such an attempt is of course the reconnection of spinal cords between two creatures. It is my opinion that the technology only now exists for such linkage，” he said. “It is argued that several up to now hopeless medical conditions might benefit from such procedure.” He believes that a team of 100 could perform the operation in 36 hours —at a cost of ,8.5 million. Both heads would have to be removed at the same time, and reconnected within an hour. “This is no longer science fiction. It could be done today —now. If the operation is done it will provide a few people with a great amount of extra life.” he said.“The only reason I have not gone further is lack of a huge amount of money for the operation.” However, Dr. Calum Mackellar, from the Scottish Council on Human Bioethics, added, “This sounds like something from a scary movie.” 1. What has been the key to human head transplant? A. The choosing of human heads. B. The reconnection of spinal cords. C. Lack of a huge amount of money. D. Strong disagreement of the public. 2. The underlined word “bizarre” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________. A. exciting B. clear C. strange D. unpleasant 3. Robert White's experiment on rhesus monkeys shows ________. A. the possibility of reconnecting the spinal cord B. the difference between animals and humans C. a breakthrough in human head transplant D. some unsolved technical difficulties 4. The last but one paragraph mainly talks about ________. A. the operation of human head transplant B. the development of transplant technology C. how to perform the operation successfully D. whether the operation is worth performing 66 答案: 【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了人体头颅移植手术的可能 性。 1.

A 详细分析:段落大意题。文章倒数第二段主要介绍了手术所需的时 间、费用、进行手术的条件及其好处等～故选A项。 B (2014?河南高三适应性考试) Brown cows may not actually make chocolate milk, but pink silkworms(蚕) do produce pink silk, a team of scientists has discovered. To see if they could produce predyed silk—silk that comes colored, straight from the source—the team fed ordinary silkworms mulberry(桑树) leaves that had been sprayed(喷洒) with fabric(织物) dyes(染色剂). Out of seven tested dyes, only one worked, producing a thread that reminded me of pink-dyed hair. And yes, the worms themselves take on some color before they produce silk. Their colorful diets did not affect their growth, the team, which included engineers and biologists from the CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory in India, reports in the journal ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering. (The researchers didn't look too deeply into how the dyes affected the silkworms' health. After all, silkworms die when people harvest their silk.) The team made dyeing silk this way because coloring fabric normally uses large amounts of fresh water. The water gets polluted with dangerous chemicals in the process, requiring costly treatment before factories can send it back into 67 waterways. Dyeing silk directly by feeding silkworms would avoid those water-washing steps. Scientists are just starting to study this idea. However, it remains to be seen if it's commercially successful. In this experiment, the Indian team tested seven dyes, which are cheap and popular in the industry. The scientists found different dyes moved through silkworms' bodies differently. Some never made it into the worms' silk at all. Others colored the worms and their silk, but the color disappears before the silk is turned into fabric. Only one dye, named “direct acid fast red”， showed up in the final, washed silk threads. By the time it made it there, it was a pleasant, light pink. 5. The text is most probably a(n) ________. A(science report B(tourist guide C(animal experiment D(fashion advertisement 6. Silkworms can produce pink silk because ________. A(they are born pink B(they are dyed pink C(they grow in pink water D(they are fed dyed food 7. Where is the experiment carried out? A(In America. B(In India. C(In Israel. D(In China. 8. How many dyes have been proved successful in the experiment? A(One. B(Three. C(Five. D(Seven. 答案: 【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。你听说过蚕能吐出粉色的丝吗,印度 的科学家做了大量的实验，他们通过给蚕喂一些喷过染色剂的桑树叶子，最终 成功地使蚕吐出了粉色的丝。 5(A 详细分析:推理判断题。根据对全文的理解可知～科学家们通过给 蚕喂一些喷过染色剂的食物使其吐出粉色的丝。文中介绍了实验过程和实验结 68 论～所以应该是一篇科技报告。故选A。 6(D 详细分析:细节理解题。根据第一段第二、三句中的“...the team fed ordinary silkworms mulberry(桑树)leaves that had been sprayed(喷洒)with fabric(织物)dyes (染色剂)(Out of seven tested dyes～only one worked～producing a thread that reminded me of pink-dyed hair.”可知～科学家用被喷洒织物染色 剂的桑树叶子喂养普通的蚕。在七个被测试的染料中～只有一种染料起作用～ 这种蚕丝～让“我”想起染上粉色的头发。由此推知～蚕之所以会吐出粉色的 丝是因为他们被喂了含有染色剂的食物。故选D。 7(B 详细分析:细节理解题。根据第二段第二句中“...the team～which included engineers and biologists from the CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory in India...”可知～实验是在印度进行的。故选B。 8(A 详细分析:细节理解题。根据最后一段倒数第二句“Only one dye～ named ‘direct acid fast red'～showed up in the final～washed silk threads.”可 知～只有一种染料成功了。故选A。 ?.完形填空(记叙文) During the winter of 2002, I had the opportunity to teach tennis in Nevis in the Caribbean Sea.

I enjoyed the feeling that comes from watching snow fall gently from heaven while I'm cosy inside with a good fire burning in the stove. But there were more serious concerns, like the lack of rainfall making our woods more accessible to summer forest fires. Local ski fields and hotels, all dependent on a snowy season, felt sorry for the vacant lifts, empty restaurants and unused snowmobiles. Then I happened to see three little robins (知更鸟) fly into our yard. What were they doing here? West of us, in the Willamette Valley, wild flowers burst this time of year. But here in central Oregon, even if a groundhog (土拨鼠) had 78 wanted to appear, it couldn't have broken through the frozen earth. And yet, these robins had arrived. Their presence brought me a flow of happiness. It felt like a celebration as I dug into my bag of birdseed and spread a handful on the ground. Above me, the deep blue sky was cloudless, perfectly quiet but for some smoke from a neighbor's chimney. The lively cold made the air fresh and clean. My robins jumped lightly toward the seed. My soul jumped with them, feeling equally carefree. Caught up in the moment of spring fever, I checked our snowless flower beds. To my delight, I spotted a green branch sticking out through the brown soil. Despite the cold, I wasn't ready to go back inside. Just a short meeting with those robins had renewed my spirit. The next day I would return to my outdoor work with a cheerful heart and a hopeful eye for these signs of spring. 5. The author missed a snowy winter because snow could ________.

While wearing a pair, you can see directions to your destination appear before your eyes. You can talk to friends over video chat, take a photo or even buy a few things online as you walk around. These glasses can do anything you now need a smart phone or tablet computer to do. The model glasses displayed have a fashionable wrap-around look and appear nothing like clumsy 3D glasses. In development for a couple of years, the project is the brainchild of Google X, the online search-leader's secret facility(实验室) that developed the self-driving car and could one day send elevators into space. “My son is 4 years old and this is going to be his generation's reality，” said Guy Bailey, who works as a social media supervisor for a university outside Atlanta, GA. He expects it might even be followed by body implants(移植), so that in 10 years or so you'll be able to get such a “heads-up display” inside your head. In Google's video, a guy wearing the glasses is shown getting subway information, arranging to meet a friend for coffee and navigating the inside of a bookstore, all with the help of the glasses. It ends with him playing the ukulele for a woman and showing her the sunset through a video chat. Google posted the video and short blog post about Project Glass on Wednesday, asking people to offer feedback through its Google Plus social network.

A search is under way in Texas, northeast of San Antonio, for the Denver woman who took a walk almost a week ago and has not returned to her residence where she and her husband, Josh, were staying. Bearden, 33, went missing Friday in the early afternoon, and police are encouraging the public to provide any information.

The annual contest aims to direct young people toward careers in science and technology. The students built tabletop scale models of their designs using recycled materials, costing no more than $100. The teams also had to write essays about their solutions, explain their ideas to the crowd and answer the questions asked by a six-member expert group. Urban transportation This year's theme was ‘urban transportation’,an increasingly important issue for the world's cities. Eighth-graders from the southern state of Georgia,David Straub, Katherine Barri and Rebecca North,imagined their city far into the future. Straub said they predicted that public transport would be effortless and 87 eco-friendly. Young teens compete Leila Mezza, Oha Hassan and Mousa Seid from Houston, Texas, imagined a city in Brazil in 2084, with transport relying on electric cars. The Future City competition, now in its 22nd year, is mainly focused on young teens. Because at that age in the United States, they have to elect the math courses, the advanced math courses. If they aren't at that age, they will never be an engineer. The grand prize of $7,500 went to St. John Lutheran School in Michigan. The team members won a trip to U(S. Space Camp. Even if they didn't win, the experience of working on an engineering project has encouraged many of the kids to think about a career in science and technology. One of them is Eric Swyler from New Mexico, who said, “I plan to become a scientist of some kind, but I'm not sure exactly what kind.” 5(How many teams took part in the final competition? A(1,350.

I turned around to find a wrinkled (有皱纹的) old lady. She said, “Hi, handsome. My name is Rose. I'm 87 years old. Can I give you a hug,” I laughed and enthusiastically responded, “Of course you may～”， and she gave me a giant squeeze. “Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age,” I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age. “I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one～” she told me. After class we shared a chocolate milk shake. We became instant friends. Every day for the next three months, we would leave class together and talk non,stop. Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus star and she easily made friends wherever she went. At the end of the term we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet (宴 会). I'll never forget what she taught us. She cleared her throat and began, “ We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. If you are 19 years old and lie in bed for one full year and don't do one productive thing, you will turn 20 years old. If I am 87 years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything, I will turn 88. Anybody can grow older. That doesn't take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change and have no regrets.” At the year's end Rose finished the college degree. One week after graduation, Rose died peacefully in her sleep. Over 2,000 college students attended her funeral in honor of the wonderful woman who taught by example that it's never too late to be all you can possibly be. 1.

Students are anxious about what to improve their scores. Some work very hard. They spend all their time in study. They do nothing except to study. As far as I'm concerned, it is not a good way to study. Alternating work with rest was the best way to study well. Students should try their best to learn knowledges as Francis Bacon said, “Knowledge is power.” Therefore, students should have other recreational activities to relax themselves, because people can do things more efficient after relaxing themselves. What's more, people can obtain knowledge from many sources besides books, that is beneficial for study.

Scientists will use a small tool to glue on the sensors, weighing about 5 milligrams and measuring 2.5 millimeters square, after leaving the bees to sleep by refrigeration. Some young bees, which tend to be hairier than older bees, need to be shaved before the sensor can be glued on. Scientists will examine the effectiveness of pesticides(害虫) in protecting the bees from colony collapse disorder. The study will also enable farmers and fruit growers to understand and manage their crops, given the honey bee's important role in the pollination(授粉) of crops globally, the CSIRO said in a statement issued on Wednesday. “Honey bees play a vital role in the landscape through a free pollination service for agriculture, which various crops rely on to increase yields，” the CSIRO's Paulo de Souza, who is leading the project, said in the statement, 105 “Using this technology, we aim to understand the bee's relationship with its environment.” Scientists plan to fit sensors on 5,000 bees in the southern island state of Tasmania over the Australian summer. The radio frequency identification sensors work like an electronic tag for cars on a toll road, recording when insects pass a checkpoint. That will allow scientists to build a three-dimensional(三维) image of the insects' movements, a process described as “swarm sensing”( The scientists are working on shrinking the sensor to 1 mm square so they can be attached to smaller insects, including mosquitoes. 1(Why did the Australian scientists track the honey bees? A. To attach tiny sensors to the small bodies. B. To make experiments on these such bees. C. To find what has caused the death of bees. D. To spread some kind of disease to insects. 2(Some bees disappear from their hives ________.

Leiolepis ngovantrii is a small lizard found only in the Mekong River delta in south Vietnam. The species was discovered by a Vietnamese scientist who came across tanks full of them at small restaurants in villages in Ba Ria,Vung Tau Province. The scientist, Ngo Van Tri of the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, became intrigued when he noticed that all of the lizards appeared to be female. He contacted an American colleague about what he had seen who came out to assess the findings. Dr Lee Grismer, a professor at La Sierra University in Riverside, California, and his son, Jesse Grismer, a doctoral candidate, flew to Hanoi and travelled to a little restaurant two,day's trip away where the owner had promised to set aside some of the lizards to be studied. However, by the time Dr Grismer and his son arrived, they found that the owner had cooked all the lizards to serve up to customers and there were none left. Determined not to abandon their study the men hired some children to track down and catch as many lizards as they could find. With around 60 lizards caught and identified, the scientists discovered that they had a previously undocumented species. 107 “It's an entirely new lineage (血统) of life that was being eaten and sold in restaurants for food, ”says Grismer. “But it's something that scientists have missed for hundreds of years.” After DNA sampling carried out on the tiny lizards the men made another surprising discovery: all of the lizards were female, and were clones of their mothers. Grismer says that the lizards they discovered are likely to be a hybrid mix of two similar lizard species in the area. He adds that tapping into local knowledge has led to many new discoveries. It's not that (a species) is not known ... locals know all about them. It's just that they're not known to scientists. 5. Leiolepis ngovantrii is a kind of lizard that ________. A. can clone itself B. was documented before C. is expensive in restaurants D. can be found in north Vietnam 6. The underlined word “intrigued” in Paragraph 4 probably means ________. A. relaxed B. nervous C. interested D. disappointed 7. When Grismer and his son reached the restaurant, they found that ________. A. the lizards were well kept B. the owner broke his word C. the customers didn't like the lizards D. the lizards were taken away by some children 8. What is Grismer's attitude towards the discovery? A. Hopeful. B. Satisfied. C. Doubtful. D. Surprised. 答案: 【语篇解读】 本文是新闻报道。文章主要介绍了可以自我克隆的蜥蜴。 5. A 详细分析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的that can reproduce itself by cloning可知。 108 6. C 详细分析:词义猜测题。根据第四段中的all of the lizards appeared to be female及上下文内容可知～Ngo Van Tri很好奇～故选C项。 7.

The Pew Research report asked thousands of experts and members of the public for opinions on “the most significant overall influences of our uses of the Internet on humanity”—and some had a rosier outlook than others. “The smartest person in the world nowadays could well be stuck behind a plough in India or China，” said Hal, Google's chief economist. “Enabling that person—and the millions like him or her—will have a strong effect on the development of the human race.” Early Internet pioneer David Hughes agreed: “When every person on this planet can communicate two-way with every other person on this planet, the power of nationstates to control every human inside its geographic boundaries may start to disappear.” Wearables (electronic equipment that people can wear) could monitor more than just steps, predicted UC Berkeley's Aron Roberts—or do more than just monitor: “We may literally be able to adjust both medications and lifestyle changes on a day-by-day basis or even an hour-by-hour basis.” Microsoft Research's Jonathan Grudin is more pessimistic (悲观): “By making so much activity visible, it exposes the gap between the way people behave and the way we think they ought to behave. Adjusting to this will be an 109 unending, difficult task.” And the difference between the rich and the poor will have a new aspect: “Only the well-off (and well-educated) will know how to preserve their privacy，” warned one expert. “Will the Internet make it possible for our entire civilization to fall down together, in one big awful step? Possibly.” admitted Harvard's Doctor Searls. “But the Internet has already made it possible for us to use one of our unique advantages—the ability to share knowledge—to a degree higher than ever before.” 9. As for the influences of our uses of the Internet on humanity, some of the experts are ________. A(realistic B(optimistic C(doubtful D(careful 10. According to Hal, in the future, those who will influence the development of human race are ________. A(Google's economists B(Chinese and Indians C(the educated persons D(world leading experts 11. People will be able to change their lifestyles at any time according to ________. A(the development of communication skills B(the suggestions made by computer experts C(the prediction made by the home computers D(the data recorded by the computers worn on body 12.

The first credit card was invented in 1946 by a banker named John Biggins, who called it the “Charg,It” card. When a customer used the “Charg,It” card, a bill for that person's purchase was also sent to his bank for review. Instead of the customer paying the shopkeeper directly, the bank would pay them. However, all purchases had to be made locally and anyone with the “Charg,It” card had to be an actual customer of Biggin's bank. Another early credit card was the Diners Club card, which was created in 1949. Once a businessman, Frank McNamara, went out for an important dinner. While he was out, he realized he had left his wallet at home and was unable to pay for the dinner. Somehow he managed to be able to pay, but had the idea that there had to be other ways. Soon he was working with his business partner and they developed the Diners Club card, which was originally on a piece of cardboard. Just two years later, over 20,000 people had a Diners Club card. It was used mostly for eating and entertainment and was known as a charge card, meaning that the balance had to be paid completely off each month. American Express had been in existence since the 1850s, but it was not until 1958 that the company introduced their first credit card on a small piece of purple plastic. In all of the history of credit cards, AMEX was the first to use plastic in their material instead of paper or cardboard. Soon, American Express 115 had taken off and became the most widely used credit card in the country. Today, everything from airplane tickets to groceries can be purchased with a credit card. The Internet has expanded the use of credit cards, making them the number one preferred method of payment next to cash. 1. The “Charg,It” card could only be used ________. A. for eating and entertainment B. in the southern states of the U(S. C. by the customers of Biggin's bank D. to pay for groceries and airplane tickets 2. What can we learn about American Express? A. It appeared earlier than the Diners Club card. B. It was the earliest credit card made of plastic. C. It was the most widely used credit card in the world. D. It was completely different from the cards we use today. 3. The main purpose of the text is to ________. A. tell the history of credit cards B. show how credit cards are made C. explain why credit cards are popular D. compare different kinds of credit cards 答案: 【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章主要向我们介绍了信用卡的历史。 1.

I can keep an eye on your kids if you want to go and get it. —________ Thank you all the same.(It's very kind of you./Oh, how careless of me～/I might as well go and get it./Well, I can do without it.) 答案:Well, I can do without it. 详细分析:上一句的意思是:忘了什么东 西了吗,如果你想去拿它的话～我可以帮你照看一下孩子。通过下一句空格后 的答语“仍然要谢谢你”可知～空格处作了否定回答。It's very kind of you意为“你 真是太好了。”,Oh, how careless of me意为“哦～我是多么粗心呀:”,I might as well go and get it意为“我最好还是去拿吧。”,Well, I can do without it意为 “哦～我不拿也行。”。do without表示“没有……也行”～Well, I can do without it.用在空格处符合前后句的逻辑关系。 8.(2014?陕西高三教学质量检测)—Worn out, I am taking three days off. —________. Relax yourself.(Never mind, Don't mention it, Good idea, Sorry) 答案:Good idea 详细分析:考查交际用语。句意:——我累坏了～要休 三天假。——好主意。好好放松一下。从“Relax yourself.”可知～答话人同意对 方的想法～因此用Good idea～表示“好主意”。Never mind“没关系～不要紧”, Don't mention it“不客气”,Sorry“对不起”。 9.(2014?沈阳高三教学质量检测)—Would you like to go for a walk after supper, —________.(No, I don't like/Why not/Yes, go ahead/My pleasure) 答案:Why not 详细分析:考查交际用语。句意:——你晚饭后想出去 散步吗,——为什么不呢,根据句意可知～应用Why not?

After studying animal play for many years, scientists recognize that young animal play is practice for adult behavior. Today this play is roughly divided into the following groups. Locomotor play refers to the movements animals carry out in their play. Running, leaping, turning, and kicking are some of the most common examples of locomotor play. An adult deer may run, leap, and twist(曲折前进) to escape its attackers. Play movements like these surely make young animals nimble. Someday these skills might help save their lives. Moving forward slowly, attacking suddenly, and biting are examples of predatory play that help young predators (食肉动物) prepare for a life of running after and taking hold of other animals. Wild cats, wolves, and bears are predators. It is very common to see these young animals play this kind of game, which sharpens their skills and teaches them about their strengths and limitations. For children, playing with toys is both fun and educational. It helps improve their hand and eye movements as well as develop hand skills to accomplish tasks. It is the same with animals. Young chimpanzees improve their hand skills while playing with sticks. Birds also play with things in ways that teach. Swallows drop and recover feathers in midair Diving suddenly to catch the 138 feathers is good practice for catching flying insects. Social play helps animals learn how to behave when they run into other animals. And it teaches animals about communication. An animal gives signals to let another animal know it wants to play. Many animals give signals by showing a “play face”. In some ways this face is like a human smile; the animal holds its mouth in a relaxed and open manner. During play,fights, some animals may step backwards to signal that they are playing and not acting seriously. Until now, scientists have understood playful acts help prepare animals for their serious adult situations. But the numbers of playful species and examples of animal play are vast. The purpose of animal play may have meanings scientists have not discovered yet. 1. The main purpose of the text is to ________.

It's a very good question relating to the scientific study of sound. When a person speaks, he uses a bunch of different structures inside his body: his lungs, the muscles around his lungs, his larynx (喉头) (voice box), his vocal folds (声带), and the spaces above his vocal folds. When a person sings, whether he is a professional opera singer or your little brother singing “Jingle Bells, Batman Smells”， he uses a bunch of different structures inside his body: his lungs, the muscles around his lungs, his larynx, his vocal folds, and the spaces above his vocal folds. But your singing voice does sound different from your speaking voice. One reason is that you do not use as much huge pressure when you speak as when you sing. Another reason is that you use more of the spaces above your vocal folds when you sing than when you speak. This allows more echoing (回声) and makes your singing sound more resonant (洪亮的)( You may also have noticed that a strong accent, like a Southern accent or a British accent, is less noticeable to you when someone sings than when he speaks. First, remember that what you hear as an accent is just somebody saying vowel sounds differently from how you say them. In singing, the vowel sounds are longer than in speaking; this makes any differences less noticeable. Just like you, scientists are interested in the differences between singing and speaking voices. Scientists discovered that hearing a voice for just one second was enough to tell the difference between a singing voice and a speaking voice 95 percent of the time. And, I predict that people could tell the difference between a professional opera singer and your little brother singing “Jingle Bells” exactly 100 percent of the time ... although, much to my surprise, no scientists have actually done that experiment yet. Yours sincerely， Dr. Cy Borg 6. We can learn from the second paragraph that ________. A. the larynx is more important in singing B. singing uses the same structures as speaking C. singing involves more structures inside the body D. adults and children use different structures when singing 141 7. The third paragraph is mainly about ________.

Any day we wish; we can open the book that will open our mind to new knowledge. Any day we wish; we can start a new activity. Any day we wish; we can start the process of life change. We can do it immediately, or next week, or next month, or next year. We can also do nothing. We can pretend rather than perform. And if the idea of having to change ourselves makes us uncomfortable, we can remain as we are. We can choose rest over labor, entertainment over education, delusion(幻想) over truth, and doubt over confidence. The choices are ours to make. But while we complain about the effect, we continue to nourish(助长) the cause. As Shakespeare uniquely observed, “The fault is not in the stars, but in 142 ourselves.” We created our circumstances by our past choices. We have both the ability and the responsibility to make better choices beginning today. Those who are in search of the good life do not need more answers or more time to think things over to reach better conclusions. They need the truth. They need the whole truth. And they need nothing but the truth., We cannot allow our errors in judgment, repeated every day, to lead us down the wrong path. We must keep coming back to those basics that make the biggest difference in how our life works out. And then we must make the very choices that will bring life, happiness and joy into our daily lives. And if I may be so bold to offer my last piece of advice for someone seeking and needing to make changes in their life—if you don't like how things are, change it! You're not a tree. You have the ability to totally transform every area in your life—and it all begins with your very own power of choice. 9. The first paragraph tells us that ________. A(no one wants to be disciplined B.we often need some new knowledge C(taking activities does good to our health D.we want to change all the time 10. We may conclude from the second paragraph that ________., A(whatever happens, we have to change ourselves B(people tend to nourish the cause of bad results C(whether we change or not depends on ourselves D(most choices we made are not good enough 11. From Shakespeare's words, we know ________. A(it is our duty to change for the better B.we complain a lot about our past choices C(sometimes we have to face the fate D.we should believe in ourselves in life 12. In the author's opinion, if you want a good life, what you need most is ________.

Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes“mindlessly”by taking down word for word what the professors said. In the first experiment，students were given either a laptop or pen and paper.They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual note-taking skills.Thirty minutes after the talk，they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts. The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand.However，the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts.Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts. The researchers' report said，“While more notes are beneficial，if the notes are taken mindlessly，as is more likely the case on a laptop，the benefit disappears.” In another experiment aimed at testing long-term memory，students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture.This time，the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exam. These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding，but that they also lead to superior revision in the future. 5(More and more students favor laptops for note-taking because they can________.

She found that personality had a major impact on learning.The braver baboons learnt，but the shy ones did not learn the task although they watched the baboon perform the task of finding the novel food just as long as the brave ones did.In effect，despite being made aware of what to do，they were still too shy to do what the experienced baboon did. The same held true for anxious baboons compared with calm ones.The anxious individuals learnt the task by observing others while those who were relaxed did not，even though they spent more time watching. This mismatch between collecting social information and using it shows that personality plays a key role in social learning in animals，something that has previously been ignored in studies on how animals learn to do things.The findings are significant because they suggest that animals may perform poorly in cognitive (认知的) tasks not because they aren't clever enough to solve them，but because they are too shy or nervous to use the social information. The findings may impact how we understand the formation of culture in societies through social learning.If some individuals are unable to get information from others because they don't associate with the knowledgeable individuals，or they are too shy to use the information once they have it， information may not travel between all group members，preventing the formation of a culture based on social learning. 9(What is the first paragraph mainly about? A(The design of Dr.Carter's research. 164 B(The results of Dr.Carter's research. C(The purpose of Dr.Carter's research. D(The significance of Dr.Carter's research. 10(According to the research，which baboons are more likely to complete a new learning task? A(Those that have more experience. B(Those that can avoid potential risks. C(Those that like to work independently. D(Those that feel anxious about learning. 11(Which best illustrates the “mismatch” mentioned in Paragraph 4? A(Some baboons are intelligent but slow in learning. B(Some baboons are shy but active in social activities. C(Some baboons observe others but don't follow them. D(Some baboons perform new tasks but don't concentrate. 12(Dr.Carter's findings indicate that our culture might be formed through ________. A(storing information B(learning from each other C(understanding different people D(travelling between social groups 答案: 【语篇解读】 本文是一篇科普说明文。剑桥大学的一些研究人员通过对 狒狒的研究发现，影响狒狒学习成效的因素不是它们的智力，而是其性格以及 对学习的渴望程度。这一研究结果也适用于人类社会:如果我们不善于与他人 沟通或太胆怯而不能利用所得到的信息，那么会阻碍以社会学习为基础的文化 的形成。 9(A 详细分析:推理判断题。第一段描述了研究人员如何开展这一研究 的具体细节:把新奇的食物和熟悉的食物藏在一个盒子里～有些狒狒有机会观 看另外一只狒狒是如何完成任务的～而另外一些狒狒则不得不自学完成任务～ 因此选A项“卡特博士研究的设计”～而非研究的“结果”“目的”或“重要 165 性”。 10(D 详细分析:细节理解题。由文章第二段中The braver baboons learnt～but the shy ones did not learn...及第三段中The anxious individuals “那learnt...while those who were relaxed did not...这些对实验的描述可知D项 些渴望学习的狒狒”符合题意。 11(C 详细分析:推理判断题。该词所在上文～即第二、三段提到在观 察了别的狒狒之后～勇敢的、渴望学习的狒狒学到本领～而害羞的狒狒学了却 不像别的狒狒那样去做,再根据between collecting social information and using it可知与“收集”和“使用”对应的是“观察别人但不跟着做”～即C项。 12(B 详细分析:细节理解题。最后一段首句The findings may impact how we understand the formation of culture in societies through social learning.意为 “研究结果可能会影响我们如何理解社会文化的形成～该文化的形成是通过社 会学习获得的”。换言之～作者认为我们的文化是通过social learning而形成的～ 与B项“互相学习”相呼应～而非“储存信息”“理解不同的人”或“在社会 群体间传播”。 D Close your eyes for a minute and imagine what life would be like if you had a hundred dollars less.Also imagine what it would be like spending the rest of your life with your eyes closed.Imagine having to read this page，not with your eyes but with your finger-tips.

The Shard was designed by the famous Italian architect Renzo Piano.When he began designing the Shard for London，Piano wanted a very tall building that looked like a spire(尖顶)(He wanted the glass surfaces to reflect the sky and the 168 city.The sides of the building aren't regular.So the building has an unusual shape.It looks like a very thin，sharp piece of broken glass.And that is how the building got the name:the Shard.Piano says that the spire shape of the Shard is part of a great London tradition.The shape reminds him of the spires of the churches of London or the tall masts(桅杆) of the ships that were once on the river Thames. The Shard has 87 floors.At the top，there is an observatory.At the moment the building is empty，but eventually there will be a five-star hotel.There will also be top quality restaurants，apartments and offices. Before building work began，a lot of people didn't want the Shard though the plans were approved.Now they are still unhappy about the Shard.Some critics say that such a tall skyscraper might be good in a city like New York，but not in London.They say that the best thing about the Shard is its spire shape.But that is the only thing.There is no decoration，only flat surfaces.The Egyptians did that 4,500 years ago.They also think the Shard is too big for London.It destroys the beauty of the city. Other critics don't like what the Shard seems to represent.They say that the Shard shows how London is becoming more unequal.Only very rich people can afford to buy the expensive private apartments and stay in the hotel.But the people who live near the Shard are among the poorest in London.So the Shard seems a symbol of the division in society between the very rich and the poor. The Shard now dominates the London skyline.It is not certain，however， that ordinary London citizens will ever accept it as a valuable addition to the city. 18(London's newest skyscraper is called the Shard because of ________. A(its cost B(its size C(its shape D(its height 19(When he designed the Shard，Piano wanted it to ________. A(change London's skyline B(inherit London's tradition C(imitate the Egyptian style 169 D(attract potential visitors 20(The critics who refer to social division think the Shard ________.

Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it perfectly，his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable.They say his ability is very rare，but Samuel doesn't even realize that what he can do is special.Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents，but music teachers told him he should study music instead.Now，he studies law and music. Samuel can't understand why everyone is so surprised.“I grew up with music.My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar.About two years ago，I suddenly decided to start playing the piano，without being able to read music and without having any lessons.It comes easily to me—I hear the notes and can bear them in mind—each and every note，”says Samuel. Recently，Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college.The piece had more than a thousand notes.The audience was impressed by his amazing performance.He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists can't play it.Samuel says confidently，“It's all about super memory—I guess I have that gift.” However，Samuel's ability to remember things doesn't stop with music.His family says that even when he was a young boy，Samuel heard someone read a story，and then he could retell the story word for word. Samuel is still only a teenager.He doesn't know what he wants to do in the future.For now，he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies. 22(What is special about Samuel Osmond? 171 A(He has a gift for writing music.

In Mrs.Totten's eighth-grade math class at Central Avenue School in Anderson，Indiana，we were learning to add and subtract decimals (小数)( Our teacher typically assigned daily homework，which would be recited in class the following day.On most days，our grades were based on our oral answers to homework questions. Mrs.Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting 173 answers from student after student in the order the questions had appeared on our homework sheets.She would start either at the front or the back of the classroom and work toward the other end. Since I was seated near the middle of about 35 students，it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer.This particular time，I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations. What I failed to expect was that several students were absent，which threw off my estimate.As Mrs.Totten made her way from the beginning of the class，I desperately tried to determine which math problem I would get.I tried to work it out before she got to me，but I had brain freeze and couldn't function. When Mrs.Totten reached my desk，she asked what answer I'd got for problem No.14.“I...I didn't get anything，”I answered，and my face felt warm. “Correct，”she said. It turned out that the correct answer was zero. What did I learn that day,First，always do all your homework.Second，in real life it isn't always what you say but how you say it that matters.Third，I would never make it as a mathematician. If I could choose one school day that taught me the most，it would be that one. 27(What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 indicate? A(It is wise to value one's time. B(It is important to make an effort. C(It is right to stick to one's belief. D(It is enough to do the necessary. 28(Usually，Mrs.Totten asked her students to ________.

It was a long journey from Bangkok to Huaplee.By the time you found the bus station and got yourself sorted out，it took almost as long as the flight from Falongland. Huaplee is located just south of Hua Hin，about two hundred kilometres from Bangkok，down the west side of the Gulf of Thailand. Not many tourists find this place，and the ones that do wonder if finding it has been their purpose all along. There's an apparent laziness that surrounds you here.It's what this place offers，and it's free of charge.The small waves that tap the shoreline seem to slow everything down.You settle into your beach chair in preparation for a long rest.You sit there and watch the sea. It's early afternoon，so the cook comes out and asks what you'd like to eat this evening.Before long he's rushed off to the market to buy the ingredients for whatever it was that you ordered,every meal fresh and to order.No menu here. There is no poolside noise here but just that wonderfully warm，clear blue sea.There's no street noise.The only sounds are the murmurs of nature. For now you just count your blessings (福祉)，listing them in the sand with your toe (脚趾)(You don't have to worry about being late for work. You don't have to do anything. The beach to your right stretches off to the horizon (地平线)，slowly narrowing to nothingness only to reemerge again on your left，now steadily widening until it covers the chair beneath you.Sand to your left and sand to your 176 right; it's unbroken，endless.No start，no end，just sand，sun，and peace.Step off it，and you re-enter the world of traffic，stress，work，and hurry. Normally you're the type who can't sit still for more than ten minutes，but you're on Huaplee Lazy Beach now and，in the right frame of mind，it stretches all the way around the world. “How could it take me so long to find it,” you wonder. 32(When the author first went to Huaplee Beach，________.

To those who regularly watch presidential press conferences, Helen Thomas is a familiar figure. Usually dressed in red and always seated in the front row, she is always the first or second reporter the president calls upon. It is an honor she has earned. Besides, it affords her the perfect opportunity to do what she does best—challenge the president and other public officials to tell the plain truth. She said, “We reporters' priority(首要事情) is the people's right to know—without fear or favor. We are the people's servants.” Helen Thomas was born in Kentucky in 1920. All the nine Thomas children were brought up to value education, and all were expected to make something of themselves through working hard.She made up her mind while still in high 178 school to become a reporter after writing for the student newspaper. After receiving her bachelor's degree in 1942, Thomas headed straight for Washington D(C., in search of a newspaper job. Before long，she landed one at Washington Daily News.Her duty included fetching coffee and doughnuts for the paper's reporters and editors.The eager young woman found the atmosphere exciting and was convinced she had made the right career choice. Her big break came when she was sent to Florida to report on the vacation of President-elect John F. Kennedy and his family. Once President Kennedy took office, Thomas changed her focus from the president's family to his policies. She began attending the daily press briefings at the White House as well as presidential press conferences. Thomas has covered every president since Kennedy. Over the years, Thomas found her job “thrilling and inspiring”， but never boring. And she took very seriously her duty to “keep an eye on the president” and keep American people informed. 1(What can we learn about Helen Thomas from the passage?

We've listed him for his post at Apple, but of course Steve Jobs also runs Pixar, the animation company. 180 Coming in after a $ 1 billion loss in fiscal 1997, Jobs turned a $106 million profit—38 percent above Wall Street's consensus target. A lot of credit goes to a very simple idea: make computers in different colors. Jobs was the only one who thought to make it happen. The colorful mid-priced iMac has also succeeded by playing down the compatibility (兼容性) problem. Apple positioned it as the machine for the Internet, where compatibility questions are no big deal. Behind the scenes, Jobs streamlined the product line, and also did a whole series of work for improving and selling the production. Meanwhile，over at Pixar, A Bug's Life nabbed a total $159 million in domestic box office, the highest domestic animated take since Toy Story and third highest ever, after Toy Story and the leader, The Lion King. Business philosophy: “The technology isn't the hard part. The hard part is: who's going to buy it. How are they going to buy it? How do you tell them about it,” How he got the job: the Apple board begged him to return. Management style: at Apple, Jobs is a micromanager—some say nanomanager who changes mood suddenly and unexpectedly. Virtually every decision goes by him. At any time, 10,000 employees are wondering, “What would Steve say,” not “What is the right thing to do,” said a former Apple executive. At Pixar, realizing that he isn't a film visionary, he leaves the experts to their knitting. Financial reward: his Apple rewards are minimal—a salary of one dollar a year so that his family is eligible for the health plan. But his 69 percent share of Pixar is worth about $ 1.3 billion. —selected from a newspaper 5. According to the passage, the following adjectives can be used to describe Jobs EXCEPT ________. A(creative B(easy-going C(demanding D(distinguished 6. We can learn from the passage that ________. A(Jobs can work well in every field B(the colorful iMac is accepted for its low price 181 C(Jobs makes a big difference at Apple as a designer D(the technology is more important than business idea 7.

Parapsychologists, who lend a certain seriousness to the subject, have 182 identified four types of ESP: clairvoyance describes the act of being able to obtain knowledge of a person or event without the use of the normal senses; telepathy is the process by which a person is able to read another person's thoughts without the use of any of the normal senses; psychokinesis is the ability to influence a physical object just by thinking about it; precognition is the term applied when somebody is able to foresee future events. Over the years there have been many ESP experiments conducted by serious scientists in serious institutions. Joseph Banks Rhine, a botanist at Duke University published a famous book in 1934 called “Extra-Sensory Perception” in which he claimed to have overwhelming (压倒性的) evidence of ESP. However, other scientists have been unable to repeat his results exactly in the same way, which has resulted in the book losing much of its original reliability(可靠性)( The Granzfield experiments are considered to have been the most carefully examined ESP experiments.The experimenters had their eyes covered and ears blocked while a “sender” attempted to transmit messages.Later the experimenters would compare the messages received to the original messages sent out.There was a great deal of excitement and interest at the time but the research failed to produce convincing results. Human beings are attracted to the supernatural phenomena. ESP will always continue to fascinate. Some of the most successful films in recent years have fuelled interest among the younger generations who are starting to ask the same questions and to look for explanations for the same phenomena as their parents and grandparents before them. Who knows? One day we might just find these answers because one thing is certain, “The truth is out there～” 9. According to the passage, Rhine's book ________. A(was accepted by famous scientists in ESP field B(presented the first-hand evidence against ESP C(wasn't trusted and believed by the public D(truly proved results of the experiments 10.
