第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）AMy color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money f or my birthday instead of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying adiscontinued model. I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautiful when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn’t get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static(静电) noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes thistechnique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my first, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the sit is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.21. Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?A. He got an older model than he had expected.B. He couldn’t return it when it was broken.C. He could have bought it at a lower price.D. He failed to find any movie shows on it.22. Which o f the following an best replace the phrase “signed off” in paragraph 1? A. ended all their programs B. provided fewer channels C. changed to commercials D. showed all-night movies23. How did the author finally get this TV set working again? A. By shaking and hitting it B. By turning it on and off C. By switching channels D. By having it repaired24. How does the author sound when telling the story? A. CuriousB. AnxiousC. CautiousD. HumorousBYour house may have an effect on your figure. experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. you can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.Open the curtains and turn up the lights. dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious(难为情) when they’re in poorly lit places C and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.Don’t forget the clock C or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consumeabout 70 fewer calories(卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at 30 minutes. And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turning on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plants can easily makes us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake(摄入) jumps by 14 perc ent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.25. The text is especially helpful for those who care about ____. A. their home comforts B. their body shape C. house buying D. healthy diets26. A home environment in blue can help people ____. A. digest food better B. reduce food intake C. burn more calories D. regain their appetites27. What are people advised to do at mealtimes? A. Eat quickly.B. Play fast musicC. Use smaller spoonsD. Turn down the lights28.What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Is Your House Making You Fat? B. Ways of Serving Dinner C. Effects of Self-Consciousness D. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?CMore students than ever before are taking a gap year(间隔年) before going touniversity. It used to be the “year off” between school and university. The gap-year phenomenon originated(起源) with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.This year, 25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided by the University and College Admissions Service (UCAS).That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education. “Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, and complete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible,” he said.But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union of Students (NUS), argued that the increase is evidence of student hardship C young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education. “New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to￡15,000 in debt. It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree. NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacating periods,” he said.29. What do we learn about the gap year from the text? A. It is flexible in length. B. It is a time for relaxation C. It is increasingly popular D. It is required by universities30. According to Tony Higgins. students taking a gap year ____. A. are better prepared for college studies B. know a lot more about their future job C. are more likely to leave university in debt D. have a better chance to enter top universities31. How does Owain James feel about the gap-year phenomenon? A. He’s puzzledB. He’s worriedC. He’s surprisedD. He’s ann oyed32.What would most students do on their vacation according to NUS statistics? A. Attend additional courses. B. Make plans for the new term C. Earn money for their education D.

Figure It Out!-Playing with Math.BI have worked as a keeper at the National Zoo,Paris for 11 years.Spot and Stripe are the first tiger cubs that have ever been born here.Globally,a third of Sumatran cubs in zoos don't make it to adulthood,so I decided to give them round-the-clock care at home.I've got two children-the younger one,Kynan,was extremely happy about the tigers arriving - but all of us really looked forward to being part of their lives and watching them grow.I wasn't worried about bringing them into my home with my wife and kids.These were cubs.They weighed about 2.5 kg and were so small that there was absolutely no risk.As they grew more mobile,we let them move freely around the house during the day,but when we were asleep we had to contain them in a large room,otherwise they'd .We'd come down in the morning to find they'd turned the room upside down,and left it looking like a zoo. Things quickly got very intense due to the huge amount of energy required to look after them.There were some tough times and I just felt extremely tired.I was grateful that my family was there to help.We had to have a bit of a production line going,making up "tiger milk"，washing baby bottles,and cleaning the floors.When Spot and Stripe were four months old,they were learning how to open doors and jump fences,and we knew it really was time for them to go.It was hard for us to finally part with them.For the first few days,Kynan was always a bit disappointed that the cubs weren't there.I'm not sad about it.I'm hands-on with them every day at the zoo,and I do look back very fondly on the time that we had them.4.Why did the author bring the tiger cubs home？______A.

"We are going to make a change," she said."I've started a project to promote the teaching of the arts in our schools."The project results from the difficulties many schools have in getting artists of any sort - whether an up-and-coming local musician or a major movie star - into schools to work with and inspire children.Zafirakou began the project at Alperton Community School her place of work for the past twelve years. "I've seen those magic moments when children are talking to someone they are inspired by - their eyes are shining and their faces light up," she said. "We need artists .more than ever in our schools."Artist Michael Craig-Martin said："Andria's brilliant project to bring artists from all fields intodirect contact with children is particularly welcome at a time when the arts are being downgraded in schools." It was a mistake to see the arts as unnecessary,he added.Historian Sir Simon Schama is also a supporter of the project.He said that arts education in schools was not just an add-on. "It is absolutely necessary.The future depends on creativity and creativity depends on the young.What will remain of us when artificial intelligence takes over will be our creativity,and it is our creative spirit,our visionary sense of freshness,that has been our strength for centuries."8.What will Zafirakou do with her prize money______A. Make a movie.B. Build new schools.C. Run a project.D. Help local musicians.9.What does Craig-Martin think of the teaching of the arts in UK schools？______A. It is particularly difficult.B.

Arts Education in BritainD. The World's Best Arts TeacherDAn Australian professor is developing a robot to monitor the health of grazing cattle,a development that could bring big changes to a profession that's relied largely on a low-tech approach for decades but is facing a labor shortage.Salah Sukkarieh,a professor at the University of Sydney,sees robots as necessary given how cattlemen are aging.He is building a four-wheeled robot that will run on solar and electric power.It will use cameras and sensors to monitor the animals.A computer system will analyze the video to determine whether a cow is sick.Radio tags（标签）on the animals will measure temperature changes.The quality of grassland will be tracked by monitoring the shape,color and texture （质地）of grass.That way,cattlemen will know whether they need to move their cattle to another field for nutrition purposes.Machines have largely taken over planting,watering and harvesting crops such as corn and wheat,but the monitoring of cattle has gone through fewer changes.For Texas cattleman Pete Bonds,it's increasingly difficult to find workers interested in watching cattle.But Bonds doesn't believe a robot is right for the job.Years of experience in the industry - and failed attempts to use technology - have convinced him that the best way to check cattle is with a man on a horse.Bonds,who bought his first cattle almost 50 years ago,still has each of his cowboys inspect 300 or 400 cattle daily and look for signs that an animal is getting sick.Other cattlemen see more promise in robots.Michael Kelsey Paris,vice president of the Oklahoma Cattlemen's Association,said a robot could be extremely useful given rising concerns about cattle theft.Cattle tend to be kept in remote places and their value has risen,making them appealing targets.12.What is a problem with the cattle-raising industry？______A. Soil pollution.B. Lack of workers.C. Aging machines.D. Low profitability.13.What will Sukkarieh's robot be able to do？______A. Monitor the quality of grass.B. Cure the diseased cattle.C. Move cattle to another field.D. Predict weather changes.14.Why does Pete Bonds still hire cowboys to watch cattle______A. He wants to help them earn a living.B. He thinks men can do the job better.C. He is inexperienced in using robots.D. He enjoys the traditional way of life.15.How may robots help with cattle watching according to Michael Kelsey？______A. Increase the value of cattle.B. Bring down the cost of labor.C. Make the job more appealing.D. Keep cattle from being stolen.二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共12.5分）If the only reading you ever do is the novel or magazine,the speed at which you read -probably does not matter very much.But if you have to read a great deal for study,you will appreciate thebenefits of being able to read more quickly.

AMy Favourite BooksJo Usmar is a writer for Cosmopolitan and co-author of the This Book Will series（系列）of lifestyle books. Here she picks her top reads.MatildaRoald DahlI once wrote a paper on the influence of fairy tales on Roald Dahl’s writing and it gave me a new appreciation for his strange and delightful words. Matilda’s battles with her cruel me parents and the bossy headmisres，Miss Trunchbull，are equally fumy and frightening，but they’re also aspirational.After DarkHaruki MurakamiIt’s about two sisters-Eri，a model who either won’t or can’t stop sleeping，and Mari, a young student . In trying to connect to her sister. Mari starts changing her life and discovers a world of diverse ”night people” who are hiding secrets.Gone GirlGillian FynnThere was a bit of me that didn’t want to love this when everyone else on the planet did but the horror story is brilliant. Ther e’s tension and anxiety from the beginning as Nick and Amy battle for your trust. It’s a real whodunit and the frustration when you realise what’s going on is horribly enjoyableThe StandStephen KingThis is an excellent fantasy novel from one of the best storytellers around. After a serious flu outbreak wipes out 99.4% of the world’s population, a battle unfolds between good and evil among those let. Randall Flagg is one of the scariest characters ever.21. Who does “I” refer to in the text?A. Stephen King.B. Gillian Flynn.C. Jo Usmar.D. Roald Dahl22. Which of the following tells about Mari and Eri?A. Cosmopolitan.B. Matilda.C. After Dark.D. The Stand.23. What kind of book is Gone Girl?)A.A folk tale.B.A biography.C.A love story.D.A horror story.B“You can use me as a last resort（选择）, and if nobody else volunteers，then I will do it.” This was an actual reply from a parent after I put out a request for volunteers for my kids lacrosse（长曲棍球）club.I guess that there’s probably some demanding work schedule, or social anxiety around stepping up to help for an unknown sport. She may just need a little persuading. So I try again and tug at the heartstrings. I mention the single parent with four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that his kids aren’t even on … At this point the unwilling parent speaks up,“Alright. Yes, I’ll do it.”I’m secretly relieved because I know there’s real power in sharing volunteer responsibilities among many. The unwilling parent organizes the meal schedule, sends out emails, and collects money for end-of-season gifts. Somewhere along the way, the same parent ends up becoming an invaluable member of the team. The coach is able to focus on the kids while the other parents are relieved to be off the hook for another season. Handing out sliced oranges to bloodthirsty kids can be as exciting as watching your own kid score a goal.Still, most of us volunteers breathe a sigh of relief when the season comes to a close. That relief is coupled with a deep understanding of why the same people keep coming back for more: Connecting to the community（社区）as you freely give your time, money, skills, or services provides a real joy. Volunteering just feels so good.In that sense, I’m pretty sure volunteering is more of a selfish act than I’d freely like to admit. However, if others benefit in the process, and I get some reward too, does it really matter where my motivation lies?24.What can we infer about the parent from her reply in paragraph l？A. She knows little about the club.B. She isn’t good at sports.C. She just doesn’t want to volunteer.D. She’s unable to meet her schedule.25.What does the underlined phrase“tug at the heartstrings”in paragraph 2 mean ?A. Encourage team work .B. Appeal to feeling.C. Promote good deeds.D. Provide advice.26. What can we learn about the parent from paragraph 3 ?A. She gets interested in lacrosse.B. She is proud of her kids.C. She’ll work for another season.D. She becomes a good helper.27. Why does the author like doing volunteer work?A. It gives her a sense of duty.B. It makes her very happy.C. It enables her to work hard.D. It brings her material rewards.CMarian Bechtel sits at West Palm Beach’s Bar Louie counter by herself, quietly reading her e-book as she waits for her salad. What is she reading? None of your business! Lunch is Bechtel’s “me” time. And like more Americans, she’s not alone.A new report found 46 percent of meals are eaten alone in America. More than half（53 percent）have breakfast alone and nearly half（46 percent）have lunch by themselves. Only at dinnertime are we eating together anymore，74 percent，according to statistics from the report. “I prefer to go out and be out. Alone，but together，you know？”Bechtel said，looking up from her book. Bechtel，who works in downtown West Palm Beach，has lunch with coworkers sometimes，but like many of us，too often works through lunch at her desk. A lunchtime escape allows her to keep a boss from tapping her on the shoulder. She returns to work feeling energized. “Today，I just wanted some time to myself，”she said.just two seats over，Andrew Mazoleny，a local videographer，is finishing his lunch at the bar. He likes that he can sit and check his phone in peace or chat up the barkeeper with whom he’s on a first-name basis if he wants to have a little interaction（交流）. “I reflect on how my day’s gone and think about the rest of the week,” he said. “It’s a chance for self-reflection, You return to work recharged and with a plan.”That freedom to choose is one reason more people like to eat alone. There was a time when people may have felt awkward about asking for a table for one，but those days are over. Now，we have our smartphones to keep us company at the table. “It doesn’t feel as alone as itmay have before al the advances in technology,” said Laurie Demerit，whose company provided the statistics for the report.28. What are the statistics in paragraph 2 about?A. Food variety.B. Eating habits.C. Table manners.D. Restaurant service.29. Why does Bechtel prefer to go out for lunch?A. To meet with her coworkers.B. To catch up with her work.C. To have some time on her own.D. To collect data for her report.30. What do we know about Mazoleny?A. He makes videos for the bar.B. He’s fond of the food at th e bar.C. He interviews customers at the bar.D. He’s familiar with the barkeeper.31. What is the text mainly about?A. The trend of having meals alone.B. The importance of self-reflection.C. The stress from working overtime.D. The advantage of wireless technology.DBacteria are an annoying problem for astronauts. The microorganisms（微生物）from our bodies grow uncontrollably on surfaces of the International Space Station, so astronauts spend hours cleaning them up each week. How is NASA overcoming this very tiny big problem? It’s turning to a bunch of high school kids. But not just any kids. It depending on NASA HUNCH high school class, like the one science teachers Gene Gordon and Donna Himmelberg lead at Fairport High School in Fairport, New York.HUNCH is designed to connect high school classrooms with NASA engineers. For the past two years, Gordon’s students have been studying ways to kill bacteria in zero gravity, and they think they’re close to a solution（解决方案）. “We don’t give the students any breaks. They have to do it just like NASA engineers,” says Florence Gold, a project manager.“There are no tests,” Gordon says. “There is no graded homework. There almost are no grades, other than‘Are you working towards your goal?’Basically, it’s ‘I’ve got to produce this product and then, at the end of year, present it to NASA.’ Engineers come and really do an in-person review, and…it’s not a very nice thing at time. It’s a hard business review of your product.”Gordon says the HUNCH program has an impact（影响）on college admissions and practical life skills. “These kids are so absorbed in their studies that I just sit back. I don’t teach.” And that annoying bacteria? Gordon says his students are emailing daily with NASA engineers about the problem, readying a workable solution to test in space.32.What do we know about the bacteria in the International Space Station?A. They are hard to get rid of.B. They lead to air pollution.C. They appear different forms.D. They damage the instruments.33. What is the purpose of the HUNCH program?A. To strengthen teacher-student relationships.B. To sharpen students’ communication skills.C. To allow students to experience zero gravity.D. To link space technology with school education34. What do the NASA engineers do for the students in the program?A. Check their product.B. Guide project designsC. Adjust work schedules.D. Grade their homework.35. What is the best title for the text?A. NASA: The Home of Astronauts.B. Space: The Final Homework Frontier.C. Nature: An Outdoor Classroom.D. HUNCH:A College Admission Reform. 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。

It is run by a comedy club.D. It is held every Wednesday.24.When will Charlotte Stone perform her songs?BFive years ago, when I taught art at a school in Seattle, I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students. I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said:“Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes today—and 45 minutes each day for the rest of the week〞A few students hesitated to start ,They waited to see what the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect〔感染〕other students. Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside, the ask of losing those students who had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare, “But I’m just not creative.〞“Do you dream at night when you’re asleep？〞“Oh, sure.〞“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.〞The student would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads.“That’s pretty creative. Who does that for you？〞“Nobody. I do it.〞“Really—at night, when you’re asleep？〞“Sure.〞“Try doing it in the daytime ,in class, okay？〞25.The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to .A. know more about the studentsB. make the lessons more excitingC. raise the students’ interest in artD. teach the students about toy design26.

What does the underlined word "downside〞in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Mistake.B. Drawback.C. Difficulty.D. Burden28. Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams?A. To help them to see their creativity.B. To find out about their sleeping habits.C. To help them to improve their memory.D. To find out About their ways of thinking.CReading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website BookCrossing, com turns the page on the traditional idea of a book groups.Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, "The two things thatchange your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both"Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops.Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then can to the BookCrossers to keep them updated about their books have been found. Bruce Pederson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the "real" and not the virtual(虚拟).The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.29.

Electronic Books: A New Trend.C.A book Group Brings Tradition Back.D.A Website Links People through Books.DA new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.Frank Hurley's pictures would be outstanding - undoubtedly first-rate photo-journalism if they had been made last week. In fact, they were shot from 1914 through 1916,most of them after a disastrous shipwreck (海难), by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival. Many of the images were stored in an ice chest, under freezing water, in the damaged wooden ship.The ship was the Endurance, a small, tight, Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists,27 men in all, to the southernmost shore of Antarctica's Weddell Sea. From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled 〔雪橇〕across the continent. The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done. Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back.As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story. The Endurance, adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort. Scott's last journey, completed as he lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger, caught the world's imagination, and a film made in his honor drew crowds. Shackleton, a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908, started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography. Frank Hurley, a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic, was hired to make the images, most of which have never before been published.33. What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley?A. They were made last week.B. They showed undersea sceneries.C. They were found by a cameraman.D. They recorded a disastrous adventure.34. Who reached the South Pole first according to the text?A. Frank Hurley.B. Ernest ShackletonC. Robert Falcon Scott.D. Caroline Alexander.第二节〔共5小题；每题2分，总分值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正确选项。

Things quickly got very intense due to the huge amount of energy required to look after them.There were some tough times and I just felt extremely tired.I was grateful that my family was there to help.We had to have a bit of a production line going,making up "tiger milk"，washing baby bottles,and cleaning the floors.When Spot and Stripe were four months old,they were learning how to open doors and jump fences,and we knew it really was time for them to go.It was hard for us to finally part with them.For the first few days,Kynan was always a bit disappointed that the cubs weren't there.I'm not sad about it.I'm hands-on with them every day at the zoo,and I do look back very fondly on the time that we had them.4.Why did the author bring the tiger cubs home？______A.

"We are going to make a change," she said."I've started a project to promote the teaching of the arts in our schools."The project results from the difficulties many schools have in getting artists of any sort - whether an up-and-coming local musician or a major movie star - into schools to work with and inspire children.Zafirakou began the project at Alperton Community School her place of work for the past twelve years. "I've seen those magic moments when children are talking to someone they are inspired by - their eyes are shining and their faces light up," she said. "We need artists .more than ever in our schools."Artist Michael Craig-Martin said："Andria's brilliant project to bring artists from all fields intodirect contact with children is particularly welcome at a time when the arts are being downgraded in schools." It was a mistake to see the arts as unnecessary,he added.Historian Sir Simon Schama is also a supporter of the project.He said that arts education in schools was not just an add-on. "It is absolutely necessary.The future depends on creativity and creativity depends on the young.What will remain of us when artificial intelligence takes over will be our creativity,and it is our creative spirit,our visionary sense of freshness,that has been our strength for centuries."8.What will Zafirakou do with her prize money______A.

Arts Education in BritainD. The World's Best Arts TeacherDAn Australian professor is developing a robot to monitor the health of grazing cattle,a development that could bring big changes to a profession that's relied largely on a low-tech approach for decades but is facing a labor shortage.Salah Sukkarieh,a professor at the University of Sydney,sees robots as necessary given how cattlemen are aging.He is building a four-wheeled robot that will run on solar and electric power.It will use cameras and sensors to monitor the animals.A computer system will analyze the video to determine whether a cow is sick.Radio tags（标签）on the animals will measure temperature changes.The quality of grassland will be tracked by monitoring the shape,color and texture （质地）of grass.That way,cattlemen will know whether they need to move their cattle to another field for nutrition purposes.Machines have largely taken over planting,watering and harvesting crops such as corn and wheat,but the monitoring of cattle has gone through fewer changes.For Texas cattleman Pete Bonds,it's increasingly difficult to find workers interested in watching cattle.But Bonds doesn't believe a robot is right for the job.Years of experience in the industry - and failed attempts to use technology - have convinced him that the best way to check cattle is with a man on a horse.Bonds,who bought his first cattle almost 50 years ago,still has each of his cowboys inspect 300 or 400 cattle daily and look for signs that an animal is getting sick.Other cattlemen see more promise in robots.Michael Kelsey Paris,vice president of the Oklahoma Cattlemen's Association,said a robot could be extremely useful given rising concerns about cattle theft.Cattle tend to be kept in remote places and their value has risen,making them appealing targets.12.What is a problem with the cattle-raising industry？______A. Soil pollution.B. Lack of workers.C. Aging machines.D. Low profitability.13.What will Sukkarieh's robot be able to do？______A. Monitor the quality of grass.B. Cure the diseased cattle.C. Move cattle to another field.D. Predict weather changes.14.Why does Pete Bonds still hire cowboys to watch cattle______A. He wants to help them earn a living.B. He thinks men can do the job better.C. He is inexperienced in using robots.D. He enjoys the traditional way of life.15.How may robots help with cattle watching according to Michael Kelsey？______A. Increase the value of cattle.B. Bring down the cost of labor.C. Make the job more appealing.D. Keep cattle from being stolen.二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共12.5分）If the only reading you ever do is the novel or magazine,the speed at which you read -probably does not matter very much.But if you have to read a great deal for study,you will appreciate thebenefits of being able to read more quickly. (1)Before you open the book,make sure that you are comfortable.You need a seat which supports your back and the book should be at the right distance from your eyes.

ASummer ActivitiesStudents should read the list with their parents/carers, and select two activities they would like to do. Forms will be available in school and online for them to indicate their choices and return to school. Before choices are finalised, parents/ carers will be asked toexc ellent base for thick, cooling fruits shakes and low fat “ice cream”. For this purpose, select ripe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter. Remove the skin and place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze. If you like, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown. Frozen bananas will last several weeks, depending on their ripeness and the temperature of the freezer.If you have a juicer, you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit. Ou t comes a “Soft-serve” creamy dessert, to be eaten right away. This makes a fun activity for a children’s party; they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below.24.What does the author seem to like about cherries?A. They contain protein.B. They are high in vitamin A.C. They have a pleasant taste.D. They are rich in antioxidants.25.Why is fresh lemon juice used in freezing bananas?A. To make them smell better.B. To keep their colour.C. To speed up their ripening.D. To improve their nutrition.24.What is “a juicer” in the last paragraph?A. A dessert.B. A drink.C. A container.D. A machine.25.From which is the text probably taken?A. A biology textbook.B. A health magazine.C. A research paper. C. A travel brochure.CTeens and younger children are reading a lot less for fun, according to a Common Sense Media report published Monday.While the decline over the past decade is steep for teen readers, some data in the report shows that reading remains a big part of many children’s lives, and indicates how parents might help encourage more reading.According to the report’s key findings, “the proportion(比例) who say they ‘hardly ever’ read for fun has gone from 8 percent of 13-year-olds and 9 percent of 17-year-olds in 1984 to 22 percent and 27 percent respectively today.”The report data shows that pleasure reading levels for younger children, ages 2-8, remain largely the same. But the amount of time spent in reading each session had declined, from closer to an hour or more to closer to a half hour per session.When it comes to technology and reading, the report does little to counsel (建议) parents looking for data about the effect of e-readers and tablets on reading. It does point out that many parents still limit electronic reading mainly due to concerns about increased screen time.The most hopeful data shared in the report shows clear evidence of parents serving as examples and important guides for their kids when it comes to reading. Data shows that kids and teens who do read frequently, compared to infrequent readers, have more books in the home, more books purchased for them, parents who read more often, and parents who set aside time for them to read.At the end of school approaches, and school vacation reading lists loom(逼近) ahead, parents might take the chance to step in and make their own summer reading list and plan a family trip to the library or bookstore.28.What is the Common Sense Media report probably about?A.Children’s reading habits.B.Quality of children’s books.C.Children’s after-class activities.D.Parent-child relationships.29.Where can you find the data that best supports “children are reading a lot less for fun”?A.In paragraph 2B. In paragraph 3C. In paragraph 4D. In paragraph 530.Why do many parents limit electronic reading?A.E-books are of poor quality.B.It could be a waste of time.C.It may harm children’s health.D.E-readers are expensive.31.How should parents encourage their children to read more?A.Act as role models for them.B. Ask them to write book reports.C. Set up reading groups for them.D. Talk with their reading class teachers.DWe’ve been there: in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surroun ded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling with the uncomfortable silence.What’s the problem? It is possible that we all have compromised conversationalintelligence. It’s more likely that none of us start a conversation because it’s awkward and challenging, or we think it’s annoying and unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it’s an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits.Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can’t forget that deep relationships wouldn’t even exist if it weren’t for casual conversation. Small talk is the grease (润滑剂) for social communication, says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indian University Southeast. “Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk,” he explains. “The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate w ith them.”In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction (互动) with its waiter; the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience. “It’s not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband,” say Dunn. “But interactions with peripheral (边缘的) members of our social network matter for our well-being also.”Dunn believes that people who research out to strangers feel a significantly greater sense of belonging, a bond with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts w ith small talk. “Small talk is the basis of good manners,” he says.32. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?A. Addiction to smartphones.B. Inappropriate behaviours in public places.C. Absence of communication between strangers.D. Impatience with slow service.33. What is important for successful small talk according to Carducci?A. Showing good manners.B. Relating to other people.C. Focusing on a topic.D. Making business deals.34. What does the coffee-shop study suggest about small talk?A. It improves family relationships.B. It raises people’s confidence.C. It matters as much as a formal talk.D. It makes people feel good.35. What is the best title for the text?A. Conversation CountsB. Ways of Making Small TalkC. Benefits of Small TalkD. Uncomfortable Silence第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
