The insects had been a major part of his life in Syria, and fleeing his war-torn homeland, it was a precious certainty amid so much chaos.As a lecturer at the University of Damascus, Ryad had built a respected reputation for his research on Syrian bees. With over 500 hives, he produced over ten tons of honey every year. Fleeing his country in 2013, he lost everything.Yet even with all his knowledge and experience, Ryad didn't know if his dream would be possible in the UK. "I found that there is a lot of rain and the temperature isn't very high. All the time I was thinking, How can I set up another project here?"The wet weather wasn't Ryad's only challenge. The language barrier and a vastly overqualified CV made it difficult to find work. Eventually, Ryad volunteered at the Huddersfield Beekeepers' Association, but he was still without a colony of his own. Finally, Facebook brought him into contact with a woman in Manchester who was willing to donate an entire colony of rare British black bees."In one year, I was able to split the colony she gave me into seven. I realised that the beekeeping project could become very profitable and successful in the UK. "Soon, Ryad found himself with 17 hives, but he wasn't finished yet. His inner teacher was itching to get out. Through City of Sanctuary, a British refugee charity, Ryad began to run beekeeping workshops for refugees and job seekers. The Buzz Project was born.Today, the Buzz Project houses 14 hives, where Ryad shares his expertise. It has started to bear fruit. Last year, they produced half a ton of honey （around 1, 000 jars）. But for Ryad, the most important thing is bringing people together."We have local people, jobseekers and volunteers, in addition to refugees. All of them work together doing the same job. The exchange between the groups, the information and skills, helps them integrate very well and improve their language skills," he says.4．Why did Ryad come to England?A．To keep bees.B．To do research.C．To seek shelter.D．To run business.5．Which factor posed a challenge to Ryad at first?A．The hot weather.B．His poor English.C．His inadequate qualification.D．The cultural differences.6．What does the underlined sentence mean?A．He wanted to share his beekeeping skills.B．He decided to establish a beekeeping school.C．He wanted to expand his business.D．He decided to find a teaching job.7．Which of the following can best describe Ryad's character?A．Persistent and charitable.B．Ambitious and reliable.C．Cautious and responsible.D．Independent and respectable.阅读理解Research has shown that disrupting one's natural "morning lark" or "night owl" tendency can result in immoral behavior at work.Who doesn't love a flexible work schedule? Being able to make your own hours, come in when you're ready and leave when you're done, step out to attend a child's presentation at school, have a midday appointment, or even squeeze in a quick workout or nap as a guaranteed pick-me-up-flexibility greatly improves one's quality of life.The benefits don't stop there, however. Research has shown that having flexible work hours actually makes one a better person. How so? It's been found that disrupted sleep patterns-in the form of having to act outside of normal inclination to be a morning "lark" or a night "owl"-can result in strange, unethical, and out-of-line behavior. Science journalist Linda Geddes said, "If you don't get enough sleep, research suggests you are more likely to have unethical behavior, such as being mean, bullying your fellow employees or falsifying receipts. But it's not just owls: the larks tend to behave more unethically in the evening, and owls in the morning. So ideally, you want to introduce flexible working. "Employers would be wise to allow their employees to start whenever they feel ready-whether it's at the crack of dawn or at 11 a. m. , and to allow breaks or pauses in the day as needed-because that would mean better productivity, performance, and behavior.This shift is already happening with the New York Times recently reporting that 27 percent of US employers now offer the flexibility to work outside normal business hours, up from 22 percent in 2014; and 68 percent allow telecommuting as needed (up from 54 percent in 2014). With the national unemployment rate at its lowest in 50 years, employers are having to become more competitive in what they offer workers, and flex-hours seem like a no-brainer, highly beneficial to all.8．What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 2?A．Ways to improve life quality.B．People's activities in their free time.C．Methods to get a flexible work schedule.D．The advantages of flexibility in work time.9．What does the underlined word "inclination" in Paragraph 3 mean?A．Judgment.B．Tendency.C．Reaction.D．Choice.10．What is the effect to change people's sleep pattern according to Geddes?A．They will show their nature more easily.B．They tend to suffer from sleep problems.C．They tend to behave immorally in their work.D．They will get more flexibility in working time.11．What do the figures in the last paragraph indicate?A．The unemployment rate is increasing.B．Employers are getting more free time.C．Flexible working has been creating more jobs.D．More employers adopt a flexible work schedule.阅读理解As facts prove, when a mother sits in the passenger seat while a teen learns to drive, the teen's brain activity can be changed. For the study, researchers came up with a driving simulation (模拟) test that encourages risk-taking behavior in teens.Twenty-five teens were asked to pass the simulation test in the shortest possible time. In the simulation, there are 26 intersections (交叉路口) that teens need to pass through. Each intersection provides a choice to stop at a yellow light, which could delay the driver for three seconds, or finish the simulation faster by speeding through the yellow light.If the drivers don't crash, they'll finish earlier; if not, there is a six-second delayto their time of completion. The study required teens to go through the simulation on their own as well as under Mum's watch.The results show that when teens drive alone, they drive past the yellow light 55 percent of the time. However, if Mum is present, racing past the yellow light is seen at a decreased rate of 45 percent. In addition, the study found that driving alone caused changes in the teens' brains, causing an increase of blood flow towards the reward center of the brain. If Mums were present, blood flow to the brain's reward center increased when they made safer driving decisions.Researchers think that parents play an important role in helping their children to make more thoughtful decisions. Sarah Helfinstein, a researcher from the University of Maryland, said, "Basically, they're being influenced by what they expect the wish of the other person to be."12．What were the teens asked to do in the driving simulation test?A．To stop at the yellow light.B．To finish the test as quickly as possible.C．To make as few mistakes as possible.D．To go through the intersection safely.13．What happened to the teens when they were driving alone?A．They completed the test 6 seconds early.B．Their brain's reward center became less active.C．More blood flowed towards their brain's reward center.D．They were less likely to race past the yellow light.14．From the last paragraph, how did Sarah Helfinstein present her ideas?A．By giving further explanation to the studyB．By adding new evidence to the studyC．By offering a different opinion on the studyD．By expressing her doubts about the result of the study15．What can we learn from the driving simulation test?A．Teens shouldn't drive alone.B．Teens learn to drive quickly with Mum.C．Teens are influenced by Mum's driving style.D．Teens drive more safely with Mum in a car.二、任务型阅读阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

She’s going to the library.B. They are go to the cinema.C. He likes playing the football.D. We’re having lunch now.Answer: A & DExplanation:A is correct because it uses the correct future tense form ‘going to’.B is incorrect because ‘are’ should be followed by ‘going’ in the futuretense.

C (In the near future) and D (In the distant future) both refer to times in the future, albeit at different distances from the present. A (In the past) and B (In the present) refer to times before and during the current moment, respectively. E (At present) is a synonym for “now” or “currently” and does not refer to the future.Question 5:Which two options ar e correct uses of the word “affect” in a sentence?A. The medicine had an affect on her health.B. He affected his voice to sound like a woman.C. The storm didn’t affect me.D. I was affected by her kindness.E. He affected the room with his presence.Answer: A & DExplanation:“Affect” can be used as a noun (A) to mean “influence” or as a verb (D) to mean “to influence someone or something”. B uses “affected”incorrectly as a synonym for “imitated” or “changed”. C uses “affect”correctly as a verb, but without a direct object, which is less common. E is incorrect because “affected” is not used in this sense with “room”as its object.四、阅读理解（每题4分）Title: The Power of ReadingReading is a powerful tool that can open up a world of knowledge and imagination.
