The driver didn't speak much English, but understood, " Belapur Railway Station. " I had my tabla, a traditional drum from India, my suitcase with my clothes and other essentials. The feeling of flying by cars inthis little machine is: as if you are inside a box with tiny wheels, dashing through disorderly traffic.I arrived at the station safely, and took a heavy breath as I unloaded my baggage before the ticket office. It was the first time that I had taken a local train to Tilak Nagar, where I was going to learn traditional vocal music. Standing in line, I counted at least 20 people staring at me. I bought my ticket, which was only 55 cents for a 20-minute train ride. The prices still blow me away.When the train came after 15 iminutes or so, I got on at full speed, as the train only stopped for a few seconds. The locals again stared at me. This was a train especially for local transport. After a while, a young man asked me if he could talk to me, He wanted to know if I was in a band. I stated no, but I love to play the tabla. Through the conversation I knew he was a student of engineering with his exams being tomorrow, I wished him good luck for the exams sincerely, as I knew what it means to Indian students lo get good marks on their exams. If students do not get good enough scores, job opportunities will be few in a highly competitive environment.The student I met helped me unload my luggage as the train reached Tilak Nagar Station.

The study was a project of researchers in the United States that was ongoing for over 13 years. They asked nearly 2,300 men and women to identify 12 common smells. All the subjects were from 71 to 82 years of age. The researchers gave the adults scores, from 0 to as high as 12, based on how many smells they identified correctly. During the years of follow-up investigation, over 1,200 of the subjects died. When the study was launched, none of the adults were weak. They could walk a little under half a kilometer, climb 10 steps and independently complete daily activities. In the latest findings, theresearchers noted that those with a weak nose were 30 percent more likely to die than people with a good sense of smell. The findings were reported last month in the scientific publication Annals of Internal Medicine.Honglei Chen, a doctor with Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan, was the lead writer of a report on the study. He said the connection between a poor sense of smell and an increased risk of dying was limited to adults who first reported good-to-excellent health. This suggests that a poor sense of smell is an early and sensitive sign for worsening health before it is recognizable in medical tests. With a poor sense of smell, people are more likely to die of brain and heart diseases, but not of cancer or breathing disorders.The results also suggest that a poor sense of smell may be an early warning for poor health in older age that goes beyond dementia or other neurodegenerative（神经变性的）diseases. These often signal the beginning of a weakening of the mind or body.（1）What do you know about the study mentioned?A The study involved researchers from the world.B All the participants were of different ages.C The study began to be performed about 13 years ago.D 2,300 men and women were young and healthy.（2）What was the situation like at the beginning of the study?A More than 1,200 of the participants passed away.B Many of the subjects were found with health problems.C All the subjects were independent of others whenwalking. D One third of the participants had a poor smell sense.（3）What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?A People with a poor sense of smell have heart diseases.B You should be careful with your health if you smell poorly.C People with a poor sense of smell won't suffer from cancer.D Most of the elder people may have the dementia disease.（4）Which is the best title for the passage?A Strong Sense of Smell May Be Linked to Longer LifeB Old People Tend to Have a Poor Sense of SmellC A Number of Factors Result in Longer LifeD Being III Means Losing the Sense of Smell4.DThe team of researchers from the University of Lincoln, UK, is designing and building an app to help farmers in hot climates identify and record the spread of locusts（蝗虫）on their fields.By recognizing locusts through the smartphone's camera, the app will be able to identify the stage of the insect's growth and record its location. This information can then be utilized so that the farmers can use pesticides（杀虫剂）more accurately in the early stages of their life time, greatly reducing the amount of crop damage.This approach could also reduce remaining pesticide levels, leading to increased food safety while maintaining food security and protecting nearby water systems."Each year, approximately 18 million hectares of fields are damaged by locusts, influencinghugely farmers and their productivity," explains Dr. Bashir Al-Diri from the School of Computer Science at the University of Lincoln. "Their monitoring techniques currently rely on field surveys by people through digging insect eggs, but this information only helps farmers to make long-term forecasting decisions and can delay effective management measures. By digitally recording the exact number, age and location of locusts, we hope this new app will put more knowledge and more power into the hands of the farmers."Dr. Bashir Al-Diri and his team of computer scientists work with the Lincoln Institute for Agri-Food Technology at the University of Lincoln, aiming to support and improve productivity, efficiency and farming through research, education and new technology.With advanced technology, the developers hope that the app will also be used for a wide range in the future to capture and document information about the natural world. For example, it could easily be adapted to help individuals identify plant diseases or to digitally capture the number and type of birds and wildlife in specific locations as part of national and international surveys.What do we know about the app mentioned in the passage?A It has helped farmers record the spread of locusts.B It will be of great use for farmers in hot climates.C It may cost the farmers more than they expect.D It will remind farmers of what the locusts look like.Which can replace the underlined word "utilized" in the passage?A Accessed.B Controlled.C Arranged.D Progressed.What can we know according to Dr. Bashir Al-Diri?A Farmers don't know how to deal with locusts.B Their techniques can be used to dig insect eggs.C Farmers suffer greatly because of locusts.D Some steps must be taken before using the app.What is the purpose of Dr. Bashir Al-Diri and his team?A To check if the app is useful in killing locusts.B To educate farmers on how to protect themselves.C To assist in raising the agricultural production level.D To direct farmers to change their farming methods.二、七选五5.

ABookstores are a traveller's best friend: they provide convenient shelter in bad weather, and they often host readings and other c ultural events. Here is a look at world’s six greatest bookstores.Adrian Harrington—since 1971. Rare books; rare first editions; leather bound sets and general antiquarian (古玩). Address: 64A Kensington Church Street Kensington, London, England, U.K.Another Country—Kreuzberg, Berlin, Germany.

It has branches in different cities.BOne night I received a Facebook message from Laura a former classmate. “Hey Steve,” she said, “I know you’ve always been an animal lover. I’ve just had a baby and I can’t keep my mini pig.”Being fond of animals, I knew I wanted the pig. I just had to figure out how to make it happen. I lived in atwo-bedroom single-level house in Georgetwon, Ontario. It’s tough to bring a pig back to the house I share with two dogs, two cats, and my lifelong partner.But I was not letting that pig go. So I told Laura I’d take the animal. When I got home with the pig, I hid her in the bedroom, and began to prepare a dinner for Alisha —her favourite bacon cheeseburgers. It’s better to make h er happy before introducing the new member to her.When I led her to the bedroom and showed her the surprise, Alisha stood in the doorway like a statue. It took her a few seconds to know what I had done. She complained about my unreasonable action. She insisted there was no more room in the house.I knew I was wrong, but I hoped I could smooth things over. Soon enough, the lovely pig did the smoothing for me. Never had we felt such joy as she brought to us. We got her a name “Esther”.Esther’s arrival chang ed our lives. A few weeks later, we decided to stop eating bacon. We figured it was our turn to try to change the world for other animals. A few months later, we moved to a farm where we cared for abandoned animals — so far, six rabbits, six goats, two sheep, one horse, three cows and three chickens.24. Who does the underlined phrase “my lifelong partner” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Laura.B. Steve.C. Alisha.D. Esther.25. Why did the author cook Alisha a meal?A. To please her to accept the pig.B. To make an apology to her.C. To celebrate Esther’s arrival.D. To show off his cooking skills.26. What was Alisha’s reaction the moment she saw Esther?A. She burst into tears.B. She showed interest in her.C. She quarreled with Steve.D. She was frozen for a while.27. What is the best title for the text?A. A Small Pig Making a Big DifferenceB. An Abandoned Pig Finding a Warm HomeC. A Little Pig Bringing Happiness to a FamilyD. A Lovely Pig Removing a Couple’s DisagreementCWho can think of the race between the tortoise and the rabbit when it comes to the greatest races? Sure, that race only took place in ancient Aesop’s mind, but while the great modern races can teach us a lot about commitment, perseverance (毅力) and the virtues of having a rather large engine, “The Tortoise and the Rabbit” may tell us everything about animals and even vehicles on this planet.In a study published this week, Adrian Bejan, a professor of mechanical engineering, concludes that no one should be surprised that the tortoise wins over the seemingly speedier rabbit. In fact, after analyzing the reported speeds ofland-air-and-water-based animals, Bejan concludes that the worlds well-known speedsters are actually among the slowest when their movements are averaged out over the course of a lifetime.The study builds on Bejan’s previous research showing that an animals speed increases with mass regardless of species. And that principle can also be extended to non-living things, like aircraft.After studying data from historical airplane models, Bajan noted the speed of each model increased with its size, too. That doesn’t sound right. What about the modern jet fighter? How is that relatively small craft not faster than a clumsy larg e transport plane?Again, Bejan harks back to the tortoise. That transport plane spends lots of time in the air, moving regularly across long distances. The fighter jet, on the other hand, may fly across the sky occasionally, but-like the rabbit-it’s often found resting on the ground.The slow and steady transport plane wins the marathon of life.But like so many good stories, Aesop’s tale offers even more than a lesson in perseverance.At one point, the rabbit asks the tortoise how he expects to win a race at such a slow pace.The tortoise—ever focused—does n’t respond But it’s the rabbits own words that provide the moment to reflect on, especially in modem times.“There is plenty of time to relax,” Until there isn’t.28. Why is the story “The Tortoise and the Rabbit” mentioned?A. To warm people not to be proud.B. To introduce a unique phenomenon.C. To help put forward the author’s idea.D. To show the importance of perseverance.29. What has Bejan proved in his research?A. Airplanes improve in speed.B. Speed has nothing to do with size.C. Speed matters most in the animal worldD. Animals’ speed and mass go hand in hand.30. What lesson does the author want to teach us?A. We shouldn’t look down on othersB. We should put our time to good use.C. Staying focused during races is important.D. People should often reflect onthemselves.31. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Life is just like a race.B. Nearly all races are the sameC. Quickness is not all advantage in a race.D. The slow but steady are always winners.DThe long, white robot weighs more than 450 kilograms. Like other robots, it is equipped with cameras and mechanical arms to automatically perform many different jobs.Angus is a major part of operations at Alexander’s indoor robot farm. about 40 kilometers south of San Francisco. The 743-square meter farm uses a hydroponic system that grows plants without soil. The plants grow inside equipment that provides a continuous flow of water. The indoor farm uses electrical light instead of sunlight.This kind of farm uses much less water and does not require human labor to run. The main job for Angus is to move thousands of plants around the farm, from small containers to larger ones as they grow. Angus also carries plants to another robot that does not have a name yet. Angus moves slowly to complete its work. But the robot is very strong and can lift about 300 kilograms.For now, the farm uses humans to collect vegetables and other crops when they are ready. But Alexander says he is working on a robot that will eventually take over that job too.Alexander helped start the company Iron Ox after leaving Google, where he worked on robotics at the company’s Google x project. He teamed up with another former Google employee, Jon Binney. Together they founded Iron Ox.Iron Ox’s website says the hydroponic growing system uses 90 percent less water. It also said the growing method is up to 30 times more productive than growing crops on land.Alexander said growing food robotically throughout the year in major cities will provide a more consistent and fresh product. Most of the vegetables sold in the U.S. are grown in California, Arizona, Mexico and other nations. That means that many people in U.S. cities are eating vegetables that are nearly a week old by the time they arrive in stores.Indoor farms operate all year and are not generally affected by bad weather. This will permit the company to provide a steady flow of goods without major price changes.32. How does Angus work in the farm?A. It provides a continuous flow of water for the plants.B. It directs other robots to work in the farm.C. It works on collecting vegetables.D. It is in charge of transferring plants.33. What do we know about Alexander?A. He used to work on robotics at Google.B. He started a company studying robotics with Binney.C. He works on collecting crops when they are ready.D. He started Iron Ox by himself.34. What’s the advantage of Alexander’s farm?A. The vegetables from this farm sell in higher price.B. The vegetables from this farm are more nutritious.C. It uses electrical light instead of sunlight.D. It uses less water but produces more.35. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the passage?A. Robot Farm, the Future of the AgricultureB. Robot Farm, Aiming to Bring Fresher Food to US CitiesC. Alexander, an Extraordinary Scientist on RoboticsD. Hydroponic System, the New Way of Farming第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

But my happy image became a nightmare when Allen and his older brother, Leo, showed up with a truck filled with camping equipment—tents, sleeping bags, and water bottles, We were going on survival training!The ever-efficient Leo was keen to leave the city behind us and urged us to hurry. Several hours later, as we drove through the forest, the mountains seemed bigger than I remembered; the trees were larger, and the environment felt more threatening.At the trailhead, Leo tied a sleeping bag onto my already heavy pack and lectured Allen and me about hiking rules. Then, with Leo in the lead, we set off along the narrow and steep dirt track that wound up the mountain.After 6 hours of climbing, we finally reached the top. My legs aching, I dropped my pack and groaned but there was no time to rest. "We need to set up camp quickly," said Leo." Thereare dark clouds coming in. A storm’s on its way."I thought he was kidding, but Leo was quite serious. He and Allen worked expertly, while I stood around and pretended to help, thunder rumbling in the distance. We just finished putting up the tents when it hit. The wind, thunder, and lightning were relentless.Leo, sensing that I was scared, started telling us some stories about his camping adventures. But each time lightning lit up the tent and the thunder echoed, I jumped. "Don't worry. Summer storms pass quickly," Leo said trying to comfort me. "And at least the rain will keep the bears away," he said with a teasing smile, which was less comforting.And just as quickly as the storm came rushing in, it passed, and we exited the tent. The view was incredible — I could see for miles. As darkness set in, I stared in wonder at the millions of glowing stars in the night sky.I won't lie — I was still wishing for a hot shower and a soft bed, but as I gazed upward at the Milky Way, I knew this was an adventure I would never forget.4．Why was the author surprised when Allen came to get him at the beginning of the story?

B．Optimistic. C．Scared. D．Disappointed.Sleep, considered a luxury by many, is essential for a person's wellbeing. Researchers have found that insufficient sleep and tiredness increase a person's risk of developing severe medical conditions, such as obesity (being very overweight), high blood sugar levels, and heartdisease. Now, a new study has found that getting sufficient sleep is also the key to improving academic performance.Jeffrey Gross, the university science professor who led the research, was not trying to find the relationship between sleep and grades when he handed out smart watches to the 100 students in his chemistry class. Instead, the professor hoped the wrist-worm devices, which track a person's physical activity, would show a connection between exercise and academic achievement.While Gross's data showed no relationship between these two factors, the study found something surprising. As the researchers were analyzing their data, they noticed that there was a straight-line relationship between the average amount of sleep a student got and their results in the course's 11 quizzes, three midterm tests, and the final exam.Even more interesting, it was not sufficient for students to just head to bed early the night before a test. Instead, it's the sleep you get during the days when learning is happening that matters most.The time students went to bed each night was similarly important. Those who went to bed in early hours of the morning performed poorly, even if the total sleep time was the same as a higher-performing student. "When you go to bed matters," Gross says, "If you go to bed at 10, or 12, or 1 at night, and sleep for seven hours, your performance is the same. But if you go to bed after 2, your performance starts to go down even if you get the same seven hours. So, quantity isn't everything."Perhaps the most interesting was the huge impact that small differences in sleep patterns had on the students' grades. The overall course grades for students averaging six and a half hours of sleep each night were 25% lower than students who averaged just one hour more sleep. Similarly, students who varied their bedtime by even one hour each night had grades that dropped 45% below those with more regular bedtimes.Who knew getting A's just required some extra ZZZ's?8．Based on his original objectives, which best describes Professor Gross's research findings?

C．Professor Gross's own students. D．University student athletes.10．How did Professor Gross's team measure academic performance?A．Making the students wear a special watch.B．Using students' university entrance test results.C．Giving the students regular after class quizzes.D．Using the students' normal test and quiz grades.11．Based on the study's findings, who is likely to perform best academically.A．A person who has a good night's sleep the night before an important test.B．A person whose normal bedtime varies between 9 p.m. and 12 p.m.C．A person who sleeps from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. each day.D．A person who sleeps for a total of 7 hours each night.How affordable is high culture? One great myth of our time is that tickets for opera, theatre, ballet and orchestral (管弦乐) concerts are too expensive, especially for the young. This is infuriating as, in Britain, at least, the claim is ridiculous and offensive. The cheap tickets to hear London's orchestras range from ￡7 to ￡9 — same as a cinema ticket, and lower than the entry price to many pop music and comedy clubs. For comparison, when the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra performs with top soloists and conductors the cheapest seat is ￡30; and at the Berlin Philharmonic, it's an expensive ￡46.Finding cheap tickets to the opera and ballet isn't so easy. True. British companies don't charge the ridiculous high prices found on the Continent (￡2,000 for a good seat at a premiere of La Scala's Carmen last December), but the tickets are still pretty steep. Large fees paid to star performers mostly account for that. Luckily, however, one spectacular technological innovation has transformed the scene. It's live (or slightly delayed) cinema transmissions. The New York Metropolitan Opera now beams its shows to 800 cinemas round the world, and British companies aren't far behind. Cinematic opera is excellent value. For the cost of a good bottle of wine (￡10 or ￡15 for the Royal Opera House's shows) you can sit in your local movie-house and see a high-definition relay of what's occurring on the world's grandest stages. No, it's not the same as being there, but it's almost as good. The sound is incredible. The images, particularly of dancers, are fantastic. And you can react to the show as part of a live audience, rather than sitting on your own at home.To me, this mountain of evidence, together with free museum admissions, indicates that the arts world should stop worrying that its audiences are still mostly middle-class. Anyone who can afford to visit a pub can also afford to see top-quality drama, music and dance. The realbattle now should be ensuring that school children are given enough tastes of high culture to make them want to buy all those cheap tickets when they grow up.12．What does the underlined word "infuriating" in paragraph 1 mean?A．Quite interesting. B．Very annoying. C．Not certain. D．Extremely obvious.13．What is the main reason for expensive opera tickets?A．The amount of money charged by top performers.B．The costly technology required for broadcast.C．The demand of companies for big profits.D．The high cost of renting the stages.14．Which of the following is true about cinematic opera?A．People can decide where to watch the opera.B．Audiences are discouraged from responding to The performances.C．It provides an inexpensive way of enjoying a live opera performance.D．The sound and visual quality are superior to the live performance.15．Which statement would the author agree with?A．The quality of opera performances is improving.B．High culture is becoming more affordable in Europe.C．The cost of access to high culture activities should be lowered.D．Children should be encouraged to participate in high culture events.二、完形填空Have you ever heard someone say that he can't see the forest for the trees? If so, you may have 16 what this curious phrase means. If you can see the trees, how is the forest not 17 , too?This popular phrase accurately describes situations in which people sometimes get so caught up with the 18 that they lose sight of the big picture. 19 , you're paying so much attention to the trees that you forget that the trees are just part of a 20 forest.This is a problem we all 21 from time to time. When observing our world, it’s easy to focus on the interesting details and 22 larger concepts. For 23 , though, it's important to be able to focus on both the forest and the trees.Since the 24 of scientific inquiry thousands of years ago, observations have been 25 . The first scientists used their 26 to see, hear, smell, feel, and taste the world around them. Through these 27 , they learned about their world and began to search for answers to the questions that 28 arose.Today scientists 29 rely upon their five senses to make observations. However, they also take advantages of modern 30 to make observations with a wide variety of tools. These enable them to “see” the world in ways beyond what their five senses 31 .From satellite telescopes atomic microscopes, 32 scientists use these tools to observe the world in ways never 33 by early scientists. Some of these tools allow them to 34 small details while others help them to see the big 35 . 16．A．wondered B．believed C．explained D．described 17．A．acceptable B．accessible C．visible D．possible 18．A．reasons B．problems C．effects D．details 19．A．In contrast B．In return C．In other words D．In the meantime 20．A．better B．larger C．clearer D．greener 21．A．seek out B．pass by C．agree on D．meet with 22．A．catch B．ignore C．comprehend D．misuse 23．A．observers B．farmers C．scientists D．leaders 24．A．beginning B．separation C．recovery D．removal 25．A．forgotten B．welcomed C．impossible D．important 26．A．senses B．feelings C．environments D．experiences 27．A．errors B．gifts C．observations D．inventions 28．A．luckily B．naturally C．exactly D．occasionally 29．A．even B．yet C．never D．still 30．A．technologies B．theories C．discoveries D．efforts 31．A．release B．allow C．prefer D．enjoy 32．A．famous B．young C．popular D．modern 33．A．imagined B．suggested C．remembered D．convinced 34．A．create B．study C．copy D．choose 35．A．cause B．change C．picture D．achievement第II卷（非选择题)三、七选五Learning to understand spoken English can be difficult. Learners must not only master new sounds, but also learn conversational idioms. That's a let to learn! But they may soon realize there is something else going on. 36．These different styles of speaking are called "registers". In their work, language experts identify three major factors that affect the register of spoken English: the place of the conversation, the relationship of the speakers, and the purpose of the conversation.37．Even two best friends who work and live together may speak more formally to each other in the office. At home, one might say, "C'mon, I wanna leave." The same person at work might say, "Are you ready to go now?"The relationship of the speakers also affects the language they use with each other. People speak less formally to friends and more formally to strangers. 38．People who know each other well might use more idioms and more slang in their speech. An angry woman might tell her daughter to "hush your mouth" and her sister to "quiet down".Finally, the purpose of the conversation affects people's speech. A person who want to ease hurt feelings uses a soft, quiet tone. 39．Few speakers realize that they change registers according to these factors. 40．We are not aware that we make these changes. We accept the changeability of the weather, but we often refuse to accept the changeability of speech.A．In fact, most people strongly deny it.B．People generally speak less at work than they do at home.C．The very same person speaks differently in different situations.D．Therefore, we should be careful not to hurt each other with our speech.E. On the other hand, a person who wants to pick a fight speaks rapidly and loudly.F. The place where the conversation takes place directly affects the language of the conversationG. Because they already share information and experience with friends, they do not need to explain as much.四、语法填空阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

We rarely drive the truck because Papa. fears the dust from the road will ruin the motor.When my sister, Faye, and I walk to school, we wear kerchiefs over our mouths so we don't breathe in the dirt. On days when the air is so bad that they close the school, we stay home and help Mama put wet sheets over the windows. But the dirt always finds a way in.Last Sunday, there was no dirt in the air, only bright spring sunshine and a clear blue sky. After lunch, Papa headed out to the field to check on the cattle while I played with Faye in the yard. The temperature suddenly dropped. I looked to the west and saw a huge black cloud of dust. All the birds flew away. "I must warn Papa, " I thought to myself. To avoid her panicking, I gently told Faye to go back inside where she would be safe, and then headed off to the field.The storm hit so fast, and in an instant the day turned into night.

It was a warm and sunny day, and the two were chatting when a flush of yellow caught Arthur's eyes, She immediately pulled off the road.As Arthur approached the figure. she feared the worst: Estepa was covered in ants and exhibited no signs of life. There was no pulse and he wasn't breathing." says Arthur. A bystander called 911 and Arthur, a registered nurse, started chest compressions. She and two other drivers took turns carrying out CPR for the next 15 minutes before medical teams arrived and whisked Estepa away.Two days later, when Estepa woke up in the hospital, he was shocked to learn he had gone into cardiac arrest （心脏骤停）. How did this happen, and ,why was helucky enough to have survived? He was full of gratitude and needed to speak with the woman who had saved him, whom he named his "angel ”.“It was emotional, ” says Arthur of her meeting with Estepa a few weeks later.

Want to figure out if someone is a patient with a mental disability: Ask them what their favorite song is. A NewYork University study last year found that people who loved Eminem's Lose Yourself and JustinBieber's WhatDo You Mean?were more likely to have trouble with mental disabilities than people who were into Dire Straits.Over the past few years, Spotify has been improving the ability to analyze information to help businessmen target consumers with advertisements made specially for their needs. They conclude this from the sort of music you're listening to, combined with where and when you're listening to it, along with third-party data that might be available.Now, to be clear, there's nothing significantly illegal about what Spotify is doing with your information. I certainly don't think that they are working with shadowy consulting firms to serve you ads selling a culture struggle while you're listening to music that suggests you might be in a terrible situation. However, I find it disappointing that our personal, private moments with music are increasingly being turned into information points and offered to advertisers.You can see where this could go, can't you? As ad targeting gets ever moreaccurate, bus in essme n will have the ability to target our feeli ngs in pote ntially improper ways. According to one study, you are more likely to spend more on a product if you're feeling sad. You can imagine some companies might take advantage of that.

Man agers.DLearning is so complex that there are many differentpsychological theories toexpla in how people lear n. A psychologist n amed Albert Ban dura suggested a social learning theory which shows that observation, imitation （ 模仿）,and modeling playa primary role in this process.In Albert Ban dura ' s opinion, people can lear n through observati on. Observatio nal learning doesn ' t even necessarily require watching another person join in an activity. Wecan also learn by reading,hearing, or watching the actionsof characters in books and films. However, just observi ng some one else ' s actionsisn ' t always eno ugh t o lead to lear ning. Your own men tal state also plays an importa nt role in determ ining whether a behavior is lear ned or no t. In additi on, though in many cases, learning can be seen immediately when the new behavior is displayed, yet sometimes we can lear n things even though that lear ning might not be immediately obvious, which means people can learn new information without showingnew behaviors.B.

Researchers.Not all observed behaviors are effectively lear ned. Certa in requireme nts n eedto be related to the observati onal lear ning process. For example, you n eed to bepaying attention. Also your retention is an important part of observational learning as you need to pull up information later and act on it during the process. Once you' ve paid attention to the model and kept th e information, it ' s time to actually performthe behavior you observed. Further practice of the learned behavior leads toimproveme nt. Fin ally, you have to be motivated to imitate the behavior that has bee n modeled.Social learning theory have many real-world applications. For example,researchers employ it to look into and understand ways that positive role models can be used to encourage desirable behaviors. Besides, it ' s also applied in thefield of educati on, and today, both teachers and pare nts recog nize how importa nt it is to model appropriate behaviors.32.What can we infer about observati onal lear ning from Paragraph 2?A.Its effects on a pers on tend to be very obvious.B.Its effect iven ess is determ ined by the men tal state.C.Its most useful means should be careful watch ing.D.It doesn ' t necessarily lead to a change in behavior.33.What does the underlined word “ retention ” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?A.Curiosity.B.

On the Internet.BHaley Curfman, 25, of Blackwell, Oklahoma, is a teacher at Blackwell Public School and last yearshe bought a plain(朴素的) white dress, which she set up a station in her classroom for her students to decorate, encouraging them to go and draw on the dress whenever they had free time. Haley set up a station at a table with the dress and some color1 ed markers so that her students could draw on it, having first seen the idea on Pinterest.After the kids had finished the design, she then surprised them all by wearing the dress to class, sharing pictures of herself in it on Facebook in a post that has since been shared over 200, 000 times.For teachers looking to do something similar for their own students, Haley said that she bought the dress off Amazon for less than $ 20 about six months ago and pre-washed the dress before she started the project. She used markers from Walmart. But she said these things can be bought in other places. She said, “To do the project, I set up a station at a table with the dress and markers. It takes anywhere from two weeks to a month to complete as we just work on it here and there when time allows. You'd better give the students enough time so they don't have to hurry.”“Teachers have been sharing their dresses, T-shirts, etc. with me that they've been creating since the 1950s with the same idea. It is amazing, and I love the fact that you are sharing them with me! Thank you all so much for your kindness and support,” she wrote on Facebook.Asked why she came up with the idea, Haley told Scary Mommy. “We don't have art in our school, so, I always try to do little creative projects when possible.”4.

Eye doctors inBristolcared for the 17-year-old after his sight had gone to the point of blindness. Tests showed he had serious vitamin deficiency(缺乏). Dr. Denize Atan, who treated him at the hospital, said, “His diet was basically a portion of chips from the local fish and chip shop every day. He also used to snack on crisps and sometimes white bread and ham, and not really any fruit and vegetables.”The teenager saw his doctor at the age of 14 because he had been feeling tired and unwell. At that time he suffered from vitamin B12 deficiency, but he did not stick with the treatment or improve his poor diet. Three years later, he was taken to theBristolEyeHospitalbecause of progressive sight loss.He was not overweight or underweight, but he had lost minerals from his bones, which was really quite shocking for a boy of his age. In terms of his sight loss, he met the standards of being blind. “He had blind spots right in the middle of his sight,” said Dr Denize Atan, “That means he can’t drive and would find it reallyarduousto read, watch TV or recognize faces.”Dr Denize Atan said that parents should learn about the harm that can be caused by picky eating, and turn to experts for help. For those who are concerned , she advised, “It’s best not to be anxious about picky eating , and instead calmly introduce one or two new foods with every meal.” She said multivitamin tablets can supplement(补充) a diet, but cannot take the place of eating healthily. “It’s much better to take in vitamins through a varied and balanced diet,” she said, adding that too manycertain vitamins , including vitamin A, can be harmful ,“so you don’t want to overdo it.”8. What does Dr Denize Atan imply in paragraph 1?A. The diet of the boy is not balanced.B. Fruit and vegetables are rich in vitamins.C. Picky eating is common among teenagers.D. The cause of the boy’s disease is unknown.9. Why did the boy go to see his doctor at the age of 14?A. To improve his poor diet.B. To get some help to lose weight.C. To be treated for his discomfort.D. To slow down his progressive sight loss.10. What does the underlined word “arduous” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Important.B. Easy.C. Necessary.D. Difficult.11. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A. Reasons why the boy is seriously ill.B.Suggestions for the boy’s family to care for him.C. Advice for parents worried about picky eating.D. Waysof taking in enough vitamins and minerals.DOver the years, NASA has successfully sent several rovers (飞行器) to Mars. While the science laboratories continue to provide important information on the Red Planet, they keep the space exploration rovers staying closeto the original landing place.To get a more comprehensive (详尽的) view of Mars, the US Space Agency plans to make a small test helicopter with the Mars 2020 Rover, which will be sent off in July 2020.The football-sized “marscopter” weighs about four pounds.It can fly at about ten times the speed of helicopters on Earth. The light weight and fast speed are important for the helicopter to be able to fly in the thin Mars atmosphere, which is about just one percent of that of Earth. “To make it fly in that thin Mars atmosphere, we had to make everything ready, and make it as light as possible while being as strong and powerful as it can possibly be. “Mimi Aung, Mars helicopter project manager, said in a meeting.Upon landing on the Red Planet, the Mars 2020 Rover will find a proper location to send of the helicopter. The helicopter will start with a short climb, no higher than 10 feet, and hover (盘旋) for just 30 seconds before landing back on the Mars surface. If all goes well, five more flights of longer distances, for 90 seconds each, will be conducted over the next 30 days. The short journeys will be recorded by a small camera and sent back to the scientists on Earth.If the plan goes on well, the first helicopter to fly in another world, will open up a whole new way to explore Mars. The Mars helicopter's first flight will be a great invention. For those of us whose research is about flight, that would be a wonderful, historic moment.12. To fly in thin Mars atmosphere，we should make the helicopter_______.A. strong and heavyB. heavy and fastC. light and fastD. strong and slow13. How many times will the helicopter fly?A. Three timesB. Four timesC. Five timesD. Six times14. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. It’s interesting to fly in another world.B. I' s important to fly in another world.C. The plan to fly the helicopter goes on well.D. The helicopters first flight is successful.15. What may be the best title for the passage?A. To send a helicopter to Mars in 2020B. To send a rover to Mars in 2020C. To live in the thin Mars atmosphereD. To send back records to scientists第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
