AOver the years I've been teaching my grandchildren about a simple but powerful concept-the ant philosophy（哲学）. I think everybody shoulcl study ants.They have an amazing four-part philosophy, and here is the first part: Ants never quit.If they're headed somewhere and you try to stop them, they'll look for another way. They'll climb over, or around. They keep looking for another way to get where they're supposed to go. What a great philosophy.Second, ants think summer all winter. That's an unportant perspective(观点). You can't be so childish as to think summer will last forever. So ants are gathering their winter food in the middle of summer.The third part of the ant philosophy is that ants thiiik winter all summer. That is so significant. During the winter ants remind themselves, "This won't last long;we'll soon be out of here." And on the first warm day, the ants are out. lf it turns cold again, they'II dive back down, but then they come out on the first warm day. They can't wait to get out.And here's the last part of the ant philosophy. How much will an ant gather during the summer to prepare for the winter? All he possibly can. What an incredible philosophy, the "all-you-possibly-can" philosophy.Wow. u:hat a great lecture to attend-the ant seminar!21. Which of the four parts of the ant philosophy means "look aheacl"?A. The last part.B. The third part.C. The second part.D. The first part.22. The fourth paragraph mainly tells abou_______.A. Stay positiveB. Spare no effortC. Never give upD. Do all you can23. Which of the follow-ing might be the best title for the text?A. The Ant LifeB. The Ant PhilosophyC. The Ant Team orkD. The Ant UniversityBHaving a dental fear(开科恐惧症)is a common problem. Learning to overcome your fear of the dentist is possible with a Intle determination ancl guidance. It is worthwhile to overcome the issue as healthy teeth might help you be healthy physically and spiritually.AdmissionAclnutting you have a fear is the first step in overcoming dental fear. When you acknowledge your fear, you can start the process. Dentistry has come a long way over the years. The anesthetics (麻醉) are improved, the t.echniques are of higher quality and dental offices have a better understanding of these issues you are concemed about and all these can help you overcome it.ResearchSpeak to family and friends about your fear. Be open and honest about your issues and gel feedhack from them regarding their dental experiences. You can contact your local Dental Society and express your conc:erns. Another good approach is to simply call dental offices and get useful information f'rom the f'ront office staff.First visitMost dental ofiices schedule your first visit by a dental assistant. This gives you a chance to ease into the situation. Do not hesitate to express your fear and hesitation. Pay attention to what the assistant says. It can be very useful ancl it can gentl}r guide you to a new attitude towardsdentists.Relaxation techniquesThere are many things you can do to relax yourself. Slow, steady, deep breathes are keys to relax properly. Another aid in relaxation is to bring your iPad to play some relaxing music while you are in the dental chair. Music is a wonderful tool to use and is a helpful distraction(分心).Facing your fear and making the first dental appointment are necessary for your health. Ignoring your dental health because of your fear will only worsen the issues and cause you to have serious clental problems.24. We can learn from the first paragraph that_______.A. few people might have the clental fearB. it's impossible to overcome the dental fearC. lt's meaningful to overcome the dental fearD. it's not necessary to pay attention to dental health25. You can start the process of overcoming dental fear after_______.A. making an appointment with a good dentistB. admitting your dental fearC. learning something about dental healthD. asking adwic:e from other people26. What should you do when you first visit a dentist?A. Avoid telling your fear and hesitation.B. Avoid shovwing any attitude towards the dentists.C. Ask someone to accompany you.D. Listen carefully to the assistant's advice.27. In tlie last paragraph the author wants to express that_______.A. dental fear can be overcome easilyB. one must be brave enough to face the dental fearC. it's quite difficult to be honestD. fear is a natural thing that everyone might haveCEbola may not be a deadly disease for everyone, after scientists discovered that some people are likely to be naturally immune(有免疫力酌)to the virus.A study in mice showed that genetic variations (基因变异) govern how ill victims will get after contracting the disease. Some completely resist the disease, while others have a slight effect. However, many still suffer from bleeding, organ failure and shock.The rese.arch was conducted in a highly secure, top-level bio lab in Montana, US. Researchers found that all mice lost weight in the first few days after infection. However, nearly one in five of the mice not only survived, but also fully regained their lost weight within two weeks.After a fortnight they had no evidence of the disease and their livers looked normal. Onein nine of the mice were partly resistant and less than half of these died. But seventy percent of the mice had a greater than 50 percent death rate.The authors believe that those who have survived during the recent outbreak in West Africa may have had natural immunity. "Our data suggests that genetic factors play a significant role in disease outcome," said co-author Dr Michael Katze, of Washington University's Department of Microbiology."We hope that medical researchers will be ahle to rapidly apply these findings to candidate therapeutics and vaccines(疗法和疫苗）. "28. According to the passage, the degree of the victims' disease is determined by_______.A. their weightB. genetic factorsC. natural immunityD. their resistance29. What is the symptom of Ebola in the study'?A. All the mice lost weight.B. The mice all began to bleed.C. All the mice suffered organ failure.D. The mice all gained weight.30. Which of the follou'ings is true in the research?A. Seventy percent of the mice died.B. About twenty percent of the mice survived.C. The death rate of the mice is over 50 percent.D. The mice that are resistant account for 10 percent.31. What does the author mainly discuss in the passage?A. Ebola doesn't necessarily lead to death.B. A research on Ebola in mice was conducted.C. Genetic variations play a significant role in disease outcome.D. The researchers will rapidly find therapeutics and vaccines.DRuth Posner was seven years old when her life started to change.

There are many interesting things to see and to do. You can go to different kinds of museums, plays and films. You can also go shopping to buy things from all over the world.But there are serious problems in big cities too. The cost of living is high, and there are too many people in some of the cities. Every year many people move to the cities because there are some chances to find jobs, to study at good schools, and to receive good medical care. But sometimes these people cannot find work or good places to live in. Also, too many people live in a small space, which makes it hard to keep the cities safe and clean.Some people enjoy living in big cities. Others do not. Before people move to big cities, they should think about the problems of living there.1. Which is the best title for this passage?A. Big Cities.B. New York, London, and Paris.C.

He found an inn(客栈) and wanted to stay there for the night. After he had gone to his room, the owner said to his wife, “Look at his bag, dear. I’m sure there are lots of valuable things in it. I want to steal it when he is asleep.”“No, no,”said the woman. “He must look for his bag tomorrow morning. Then he’ll take you before the judge.”They thought and at last the woman had an idea. “We have forgetful grass,”said the woman, “Why not put some into his food? If he has the food, he will forget to take his bag away.”“How clever you are!”said the owner, “Don’t forget it when you prepare supper for him.”The old man had the food with the forgetful grass and went to bed. The next morning, when the owner got up, he found the door was open and the old man had left with his bag. He woke his wife up and said angrily, “What a fool! Your forgetful grass isn’t useful at all.”“No, no,”said the woman. “I don’t think so. He must forget something.”“Oh, I’ve remembered!”The owner cried out suddenly, “He forgot…”4.

Not only the students in China have this problem, but children in the United States also have heavy school bags.Doctors are starting to worry that younger and younger students are having back and neck problems as a result of school bags being too heavy for them.“It’s hard for me to go upstairs with my bag because it’s so heavy,”said Rick Hammond, an 11-year-old student in the US.Rick is among students who have common school bags with two straps(带子) to carry them, but many other students choose rolling(有滚轮的) bags.But even with rolling bags, getting up stairs and buses is still a problem for children. Many of them have hurt their backs and necks because of the heavy school bags.But how much is too much? Doctors say students should carry no more than 10% to 15% of their own body weight(重量).Scott Batch, a back doctor, said children under Grade 4 should stay with 10%. But it is also important that older children don’t stay with over 15%, because their bodies are still growing.“Children are losing their balance(平衡) and falling down with their school bags,”he said.Parents and teachers are starting to tell children to only take home library books they will be reading that night. Some teachers are using pieces of paper or thin workbooks for students to take home.One of the best answers is, as some children said, to have no homework at all!8. From the passage we can know that _______.A. only children in China carry too heavy school bagsB. children in other countries don’t carry too heavy bagsC. both children in China and the US carry too heavy school bagsD. only children in the US carry too heavy school bags9. Children feel it hard for them to go upstairs because _______.A. they are too youngB. their school bags are too heavyC. they don’t know how to go upstairsD. their parents don’t always go upstairs with them together10. According to the doctor, Scott Batch, if a child in Grade 5 weighs(重) about30 kilos, the school bag he carries should not be over _______.A. 5 kilosB. 3 kilosC. 5.5 kilosD. 4.5 kilos11. Some students think the best answer to this problem is that _______.A. they should have a little homework to do after they get homeB. their teachers had better not ask them to do any homeworkC. they should only take home library books they will read that nightD. they should use thin workbooks instead of thick onesDHealthy Habits, Healthy BodyFeel tired lately? Has a doctor said he can’t find anything wrong with you? Perhaps he sent you to a hospital, but all the advanced equipment there shows that there is nothing wrong with you.Then, consider this: you might be in a state of subhealth(亚健康).Subhealth, also called the third state or gray state, is explained as a borderline state between health and disease.According to the investigation(调查) by the National Health Organization,over 45 percent of subhealthy people are middle-aged or elderly. The percentage is even higher among people who work in management positions as well as students around exam-weeks.Symptoms(征兆)include a lack of energy, depression(压抑), slow reactions, insomnia (失眠), agitation, and poor memory. Other symptoms include shortness of breath, sweating and aching in the waist and legs.The key to preventing and recovering from subhealth, according to some medical experts, is to form good living habits, alternate (轮流的)work and rest, exercise regularly, and take part in open air activities.As for meals, people are advised to eat less salt and sugar. They should also eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, fish because they are rich in nutritional elements —vitamins and trace elements that are important to the body.Nutrition(营养) experts point out that it is not good to eat too much at one meal because it may cause unhealthy changes in the digestive tract(消化系统). They also say that a balanced diet is very helpful in avoiding subhealth.12. It may be easy for middle-aged people to be in a state of subhealth because _______.A. they have used up their energyB. they have lost their living hopesC. they have more pressure in life and workD. they begin to get older13. The key to preventing you from falling into a state of subhealth is that you should _______.A. work hardB. sleep moreC. form good living habitsD. take more medicine14. As for food, experts suggest that _______.A. we should never eat meatB. we should have a variety of foodC. we should eat less than usualD. we should have meals without salt to sugar15. According to nutrition experts’points ,why is it not good to eat too much at one meal?.A. because it will cause fat problems.B. because it may cause unhealthy changes in the digestive tract .C. because you will be choked.D. because it will cause insomnia (失眠)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。

In the video, the band members ride a New York City subway while performing entirely on iPhones, with applications linked with mini-battery powered broadcasters for each instrument.Singer Luck White says the production was a top-secret operation."We didn't tell anyone about this. It was completely top-secret from our family, from our friends, from management, from everybody. So the first time that people saw this video was last Friday when we put it on YouTube,"explained White.It has been watched by more than 2 million on YouTube since debuting(首次露面) last week. "All I've wanted to do for the past few days is just stare at the YouTube page and keep refreshing it to see how far it will go, " said Espiritu, the lead guitarist of the band."The Internet changed everything,"Espiritu said. "It's kind of an exciting time because it forces everyone to adjust and be creative and find new ways to get your name out there."The idea for the video came from Espiritu's 24-year-old brother Benjamin, who's hoping to go to film school. " I've seen a lot of these music applications, and they're kind of fascinating to me,"Benjamin Espiritu said. " I thought: 'What would happen if iPhones kind of took over the world? If there could actually be a band that played straight through with iPhones, what would that look like?'" So they shot(拍摄) the video —with iPhones also serving as video cameras. The band also tried Union Square but were stopped during playing because they didn't have a permit."The YouTube views are translating into album sales,"Espiritu said. "We've seen the jump." Their album has been in the top 10albums on iTunes.Will their fans start cheering for iPhone-only performances? "We've gotten the most exposure(曝光)and teh most fans that we've ever gotten through this, so I wouldn't be surprised if fans are going to want to see that.: Espritu said.1.Who first saw the ban's video to the song Take Me Out?A.

People who have viewed the video on the YouTube should buy an album.3.What can we learn from the text?A. It was Espiritu who came up with teh idea of the video.B. Benjamin thought iPhones would take over the world.C. The band also managed to shoot the video in the Union Square.D. Espiritu thought it was possible fro their fans to prefer iPhone-only performances.4.What would be the best title for this text?A. Atomic Tom's iPhone Subway PerformanceB. Take Me Out—Atomic Tom's New SongC. A band's performance through YouTubeD. A Band's iPhone single T ake Me Out Hits BigBThe British coloney(殖民地)of Bermude is a top summertime escape. Yet, even through October, Bermuda isn't ready to stop for the winter. During this month, world-class festivals on teh island keep things lively and the weather remains comfortable enough for Bermuda shorts and bathing suits.In October, Bermuda hosts two major festivals—the Bermuda Music Festival and the Bermuda Culinary Arts(厨艺) Festival. The 10th anniversary Bermuda Music Festival begins October 5 and features three days of performances at the Royal Naval Dockyard(皇家海军造船厂)on Bermuda's West End. Featured main stage performers include Joss Stone, Pattie Labelle, and Al Green, and a second stage spotlights local Bermudian artists. General admission tickets start at $60 for on e day or $160 for a three-day pass.Starting October 21, the Culinary Arts Festival brings some of North America's top chefs to the island for four days of food and wine tastings, conferences and cooking competitions. Participating chefs include Todd English and Michael Lomonaco, among others. Three-day festival passes start at $649 per person, but you can also buy separate tickets for individual events.Even if you don't attend one of the festivals, there's still plenty to do. With mostly sunny days and temperatures averaging aroung 79 degrees, the weather is just right for participating in Bermuda's two favorite pastimes—golf and tennis. With fewer visitors on the island than during the summer, you may have an easier time getting the best times or a spot on the courts. It's also still warm enough to enjoy the island's pink sand beaches and go swimming, because the water keeps the summer's heat longer than the air. Of course, you can always shop in the city of Hamilton's upscale(质优价高的) small goods arts and crafts shops.5.The Culinary Arts Festival lasts _____.A. from October 5 to 7B. from October 5 to 8C. from October 21 to 24D. from October 21 to 256.The best time to travel to Bermuda is ______A. springB.

The book records the first usage of "Diaoyu Islet" and "Chiwei Islet". The names refer to the current Diaoyu Islands and Chiwei Islet. Hu Zongxian, the Zhejiang governor of the Ming Dynasty, placed the Diaoyu Islands and surrounding islets within China’s maritime defense system. It demonstrates that the islands have been within China’s maritime defense region since the Ming Dynasty.Japan claimed sovereignty（主权）during the Sino-Japanese War of 1895, seizing the islands by illegal means.The Cairo Declaration issued after World War II stipulated(规定) that all territory taken by Japan illegally, including China’s northeast, Taiwan and Penghu islets, must be returned to China.In August 1945, Japan announced its unconditional surrender under the terms of the Potsdam Declaration. The declaration laid out that Japan must return Taiwan, the Diaoyu Islands and surrounding islets to China.But the islands came under US control after 1945. In 1951, Japan and the US signed an illegal treaty in San Francisco without inviting China. The islands were then "entrusted" to Japan according to the treaty.On September 18th, 1951, then Chinese Premier and Foreign Minister Zhou Enlai made a solemn(庄严的) statement on behalf of the Chinese government that the Treaty of Peace with Japan signed in San Francisco was illegal , and would not be recognized without the participation and signing of the People’s Republic of China.In June 1971, Japan and the United States signed an agreement to hand over Okinawa to Japan. The Diaoyu Islands were mapped into the handover area.China’s Foreign Ministry announced on December 30th 1971 that such a move was "totally illegal" and reiterated(重申) that the Diaoyu Islands and surrounding islets were "an integral part of the Chinese territory".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。
