From coast to coast, theme parks are opening exciting new rides for people.Legoland New York ResortOver Memorial Day weekend, Legoland opened its newest attraction: a Lego-themed water playground where families can play water, slide and beat the heat. There is also a nearby changing area so you can take off your wet swimsuit when you’re ready to head for the park’s land-based attractions.Universal Studios HollywoodThough the land has only one ride, Super Nintendo World has more than enough to keep you busy after you race to the finish. Throughout the land, there are interactive challenges where you can collect digital coins and try to secure a top score. You will also find all the souvenirs and clothing you need to complete your experience.Busch Gardens Tampa BayThe Serengeti Flyer swing ride is currently the world’s tallest and fastest ride of its kind.

He happened to look up and saw Zeus fly by. The king of gods was carrying a lovely river spirit (小精灵) in his arms.“That Zeus,” sighed (叹气) King Sisyphus. “What a trouble-maker!”Soon after, the river god Asopus flew by. “Sisyphus! Have you seen my daughter?” he asked.“If you give my city a source of fresh water, I will tell you what I saw,” King Sisyphus shouted back. Immediately, a clear stream (水流) of fresh water appeared.“Zeus took her that way,” the king pointed.The king knew Zeus would be angry when he found out what he had done. But Corinth badly needed a source of fresh water. And finally, it had one.Sure enough, Zeus was very angry. He told his brother Hades (the god of the underworld) to take Sisyphus to the underworld immediately!“When they tell you I am dead, do not put a gold coin under my tongue,” King Sisyphus said quietly to his wife. As a good wife, she did exactly as the king had told her.Because Sisyphus was an important person, Hades himself met him at the River Styx, the entrance to the underworld. Because no gold coin was placed under his tongue(舌头), the king arrived as a poor beggar.“Where is your gold coin?” Hades asked. “How can you pay for a trip across the River Styx and arrive in the underworld?”King Sisyphus hung his head in shame. “I had a terrible wife. She didn’t give me anything after I had died.”“Go right back there and teach that woman some manners!” Hades raised his voice. He then sent Sisyphus back to Earth. The king became alive again.Sisyphus and his wife laughed when he told her about the experience. But he never told it to anyone else. You never know when the gods are listening!4．What was Sisyphus was doing when Zeus flew by with a river spirit?A．Rebuilding Corinth.B．Chatting with his wife.C．Asking Asopus for help.D．Looking for a source of water. 5．What did Zeus decide to do when he knew what Sisyphus had done?A．Zeus decided to destroy Corinth.B．Zeus decided to end Sisyphus’ life.C．Zeus decided to make Corinth drier.D．Zeus decided to kill Sisyphus’ wife. 6．What did one need in order to cross the River Styx, according to the article,?A．A good wife.B．A golden boat.C．Some money.D．Some water. 7．Which of the following statements is the most probable ending of the story?A．Sisyphus lived happily with his wife.B．Sisyphus taught his wife some manners.C．Sisyphus was sent to the underworld again.D．Sisyphus had to find a fresh water source again.The next time you have cheese, remember the French scientist Louis Pasteur who discovered that bad milk, and many diseases are caused by bacteria(细菌).Louis Pasteur is known as the father of microbiology. In his lifetime, he not only proved that bacteria are the cause of diseases, but also discovered the process of vaccination (接种疫苗) which has saved billions of lives.When Pasteur worked with chickens that were suffering from cholera(霍乱) during his experiments, he accidentally spread cholera to his chickens. Pasteur’s chickens became mildly sick but did not die. This was strange as every chicken that came near cholera earlier had died. He realized soon that the cholera had become weak. By the time he tried again, the chickens he had cured earlier did not get cholera anymore. He realized that a weak cholera helped his chickens develop an antibody against it.Later, Pasteur went on to try this on cows, pigs and dogs. All his research helped him develop different vaccines. We now know that the process of vaccination introduces a weakened kind of bacteria into our body. Our body reacts by creating antibodies to fight the bacteria. Now, when our body comes across the same bacteria which are much stronger, it can fight them off.Louis Pasteur received numerous awards for the advancement of biology, chemistry, and medicine. He founded the Pasteur Institute to study diseases. It was the first university to teach microbiology and today there are 32 institutes across 29 countries. For every childvaccinated against a deadly disease, we have Louis Pasteur to thank.8．What do we know about Louis Pasteur?A．His discoveries weren’t used at his time.B．He discovered the connection between bacteria and diseases.C．He was a professor at the Pasteur Institute.D．His discoveries brought many profits and awards to him.9．What can we learn from his experiment with chickens?A．Cholera was not a deadly disease then.B．Pasteur spread cholera to chickens on purpose.C．All chickens suffered from cholera died at last.D．The weakened cholera couldn’t kill the living creatures10．What is the function of the process of vaccination?A．It builds up people’s body.B．Without it, people will die.C．It improves people’s ability to avoid diseases.D．It can kill all the diseases and make the sick bealthy.11．Why does the author write the passage?A．Because he wants to honour Louis Pasteur and his contribution to the world.B．Because he wants to show the discoveries of the vaccination.C．Because be wants to call on children to learn from Louis PasteurD．Because he wants to introduce an important invention in microbiology.Tall, long-necked giraffes are famous for their spots which are believed to help the animals hide from their enemies. Just like no two humans have the same fingerprints, each giraffe has its own special pattern of spots. However, a Tennessee zoo made headlines recently after it welcomed one of the world’s most uncommon giraffes.On July 31, a baby giraffe was born at Brights Zoo with light brown fur which is a reticulated (网状的) giraffe, one of the four different kinds of giraffes. Unlike most giraffes, she was born without spots, a unique feature of the reticulated giraffe. At six feet tall, this baby giraffe is growing well under her mother’s care. She shows typical baby giraffe behavior, such as eating rocks.Experts said the young giraffe was the only single-colored reticulated giraffe livinganywhere on the planet. The last time this happened was 1972 in Japan. A giraffe’s pattern of spots is created when the animal is still growing inside its mother. That means that this giraffe will never have spots.“The new giraffe might not have survived if she had been born in the wild. Being single-colored, she may not be able to hide quite as well,” said Mr. David Bright, who runs the zoo, “It will easily be a key target for poachers (偷猎者) because she’s so unusual.”Brights Zoo stressed that reticulated giraffes had already become imperiled. In 2018, they were officially listed as “threatened”. Thirty-five years ago, there were 36,000 reticulated giraffes. Now, the number has been cut by more than 50%. Only about 16,000 reticulated giraffes remain.This brown giraffe’s birth is not only a rare and fascinating event, but also an opportunity to raise awareness about the challenges faced by giraffes in the wild. By supporting efforts like this, we can contribute to the conservation of these large creatures and ensure their survival for generations to come.12．What do we know about the spots of giraffes?A．They help protect giraffes.B．They are the same pattern.C．They look like giraffes’ footprints.D．They appear on giraffes occasionally. 13．What makes the young giraffe born at Brights Zoo special?A．Its extremely large size.B．Its light brown fur.C．Its unusual eating habit.D．Its absence of spots.14．What does the underlined word “imperiled” mean in paragraph 5?A．Recognized.B．Endangered.C．Doubled.D．Balanced. 15．Which word can best describe the birth of the young giraffe?A．Awkward.B．Worrying.C．Meaningful.D．Foreseeable.二、七选五V olunteering your time to support a cause you like is something you will never regret.better understand how you fit into the world around you.17 In fact, spending time enriching your community is a great way to broaden your perceptions of the world.

Many years ago, I made a living by driving a car. One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 am. When I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.I w alked to the door and knocked.“Just a minute,” answered a weak, elderly voice.After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase.I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly towards the car.She kept thanking me for my kindness.“It’s nothing,” I told her, “I just try to treat my passengers in the way I would want my mother treated.”“Oh, you’re such a good man,” she said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown?”“It’s not the shortest way,” I answered quickly.“Oh, I’m in no hurry,” she said.“I’m on my way to a hospice. I don’t have any family left. The doctor says I don’t have very long time.”I quietly reached over and shut off the meter.For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.Sometimes she’d ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.At dawn, she suddenly said, “I’m tired. Let’s go now.”We drove in silence to the address she had given me.“How much do I owe you?”she asked.“Nothing,” I said.“You have to make a living,” she answered.“Oh, there are other passengers, ”I answered.Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me t ightly. Our hug ended with her remark, “You gave an old woman a little moment of joy.”（1）The old woman chose to ride through the city in order to ______.A . show she was familiar with the cityB . see some places for the last timeC . let the driver earn more moneyD . reach the destination on time （2）Which of the following statements is Not true?A .

The taxi driver didn’t charge the old lady any money.（3）What can we learn from the story?A . Giving is always a pleasure.B . People should respect each other.C . An act of kindness can bring people great joy.D . People should learn to appreciate others’ concern.2. 根据短文理解，选择正确答案。

Both “Holiday Gift Baskets〞and “The Secret SantaExchange〞 .A. provide gift basketsB. sell gifts from top stores onlineC. have a guide to help people choose giftsD. are designed for people working in officesBSince his students began using Quizlet, English teacher Tristan Thorne has noticed an improvement in their ability to learn and use new words. Quizlet is a learning App, a computer program you use on your mobile phone. It can help users build and test their knowledge of English words. Quizlet has word sets for millions of subjects. And, it is quickly becoming a useful mobile tool for language learners.Thorne teaches at Columbia University in New York City. Thanks to learning Apps, Jeff Strack, another English teacher, has also noticed improvement in his students’ ability to remember information. He teaches at Hostos Community College, also in New York. He and Thorne are part of a growing number of language educators adding mobile Apps to their classes.Strack and Thorne seem to agree that the days when teachers would not permit the use of mobile phones are gone. When they use Apps, language learners communicate more differently than in a traditional classroom. Users act on or respond to something, instead of just listening to new information.Thorne believes that Apps can help learners become more active in learning. For example, each week, his students are required to add vocabulary words into Quizlet for others to use. He says some Apps also make it easy for students to know their language strengths and weaknesses.The biggest improvement Strack has seen in his students is that they are much more active in whole-class or small-group discussions. “Apps let all students take part in the activity, whether it’s a game, quiz or practice activity.〞 he says.Many existing learning Apps are designed for students of all ages and levels. Some are designed for group activities. Some support independent learning. Still some are good for homework. Thorne says heespecially likes Quizlet and three other Apps: QR Codes, Socrative and Evernote.24．What do Strack and Thorne do to improve their teaching?A. They design learning Apps for their students.B. They don’t allow their students to use Apps after classC. They allow their students to use mobile Apps to studyD. They order their students not to use mobile phones in class 25．According to the text, Apps can help language learners __________.A. take an active part in learningB. save much time and moneyC. remember their weaknessesD. improve personal designing skills26．What can we learn about the existing learning Apps?A. They have three types in totalB. They are too few to choose fromC. They are only designed for homeworkD. They are designed for different uses27．What can be the best title for the text?A. Great changes in science and technologyB. The use of mobile phones will be goneC. Ways to choose from different mobile AppsD. Better language learning with mobile AppsCAs the world around them is changing, teenagers continue to need guidance and support from both parents. Studies show that teens who have an active relationship with their fathers are less likely(可能的)to involve themselves in dangerous behaviors and more likely to succeed in school and develop higher self-worth, because their fathers go beyond social expectations to devote attention to them.Peer(同龄人)pressure has always been a big part of the teens’ experience. Even the best father can’t completely protect their kids from the growing influence of their peer group. However, studies show that teenagers whose fathers focus on their lives are more likely to resist (抵抗)the more bad effects of peer pressure, taking drugs, for example.Teens may not like to admit it, but they are watching their parents closely and often follow their example. An interesting finding explains just how important parents are, especially Dad. Swiss researchers discovered that if Dad attends church, even though Mom doesn’t, 44 percent of the kids are still more likely to keep going to church as adults. But if Mom goes regularly and Dad never shows up, only 2 percent of the kids continue to attend.Teenagers face a lot of difficult choices, especially in their later teens. Fathers don’t get to make those choices for them, but they canbe influenced. For example, teenagers can learn a lot from their parents’ concern on what to do when they finish high scho ol. Should they go directly to college and, if so, where? Should they consider going to trade schools, joining the army or looking for a job? A father’s guidance brings a long-term perspective that teens often lack to these important decisions.28．Teenager s without father’s focus are more likely to __________.A. have higher self-worthB. experience some dangerous thingsC. become the best students in schoolD. resist all bad effects of peer pressure29．What does the third paragraph tell us?A. More teenagers pay no attention to their parentsB. Teenagers often treat their fathers as role modelsC. Teenagers never attend church with their mothersD. Fewer teenagers like to attend church with their fathers 30．Which can replace the underlined word “perspective〞 in the last paragraph?A. point of viewB. jobC. schoolD. lots of concern 31．What can we learn from the text?A. Fathers should make choices for teenagers directlyB. Teenagers care less about what their parents doC. Mothers have no eff ect on their children’s lifeD. Teenagers are greatly influenced by their fathersDPeople say that one man can’t make a difference, but Abdul Samad Sheikh, a 60-year-old rickshaw(人力车)driver from Bangladesh, has proved that doing a small thing over a long period of time can mean very much. He has planted at least one tree every day since he was 12 years old, which means that he has so far planted a small forest of over 17,500 trees. Imagine if everyone followed his example.Abdul has worked as a rickshaw driver for most of his life. He makes a little money from his job, which is only enough to put food on the table for his family, but he somehow tries to also buy at least one tree everyday. He considers it his duty to the world. Mostly he plants them on government land so nobody can cut them down later. He also protects them, and if he sees anyone cutting a tree, he blames them.Abdul, his wife Jorna, and four of their children live in two old houses, on a piece of land that is owned by the Faridpur deputy commissioner’s office. They have no land of their own.Sometimes, she commands him not to plant trees but he doesn’t listen. Abdul’s 30-year-old son, Kutub Uddin, has never told his father not to plant trees, because he thinks his father does a good thing for society.Abdul’s neighbors all know about his daily habit, and praise hiswork. Whoever can ask of him anything, he will do his best to help. Therefore, Abdul is loved by neighbors.For his efforts, Abdul Samad Sheikh was recently honored by The Daily Star, and given $1, 253 to help him build a better home for his family. The Daily Star hoped everyone to follow his example, and protect the environment.“I can’t do it alone. I need the help of you all,〞 Abdul said in his speech.32．What do we know about Abdul?A.

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Health Warning as UK SweltersPeople across the UK have enjoyed the sunshine this week, but they have also been advised to be careful as a heat wave hits much of the country.A heat wave is defined 1 a period of hot weather where temperatures are higher than is expected for the time of year. They usually happen in summer.However, climate change (long-term changes to weather patterns, mostly 2 (cause) by human activities such as burning fossil fuels, farming and cutting down forests) is increasing the chance of heat waves happening and making then more extreme. The current hot weather is even 3 (much) extreme in some European countries — temperatures in southern Spain have reached 46℃.Heat waves can be a danger to people’s health, especially for vulnerable groups such as the elderly, children and people 4 certain health conditions. However, anyone 5 suffer from the effects of extreme heat, including dehydration (not having enough water) and heatstroke (a condition caused by the body overheating). A group of leading UK scientists have recommended that heat waves 6 (name) in order to raise awareness of the health risks.The Met Office, the UK’s national weather service, has issued an amber warning. Temperatures are expected 7 (rise) to 35℃, and there have been predictions 8 the record for the UK’s hottest day could be broken. Government officials have met to discuss whether to introduce a heat wave emergency.To cope with hot weather, the NHS (National Health Service) says people should try to keep out of the Sun between 11 am and 3 pm, 9 temperatures are at their highest and the sun is strongest. Make sure you wear a hat, 10 (apply) sunscreen under the sunlight and drink plenty of water. If you are swimming outdoors to cool down, make sureyou’re with a trusted adult and follow local safety advice.二、选用适当的单词或短语补全短文Golden Rules of Good DesignWhat makes good design? Over the years, designers and artists have been trying to 11 the essentials of good design. They have found that some sayings can help people understand the ideas of good design. There are four as follows.Less is more. This saying is associated with the German-born architect Mies van der Rohe. In his Modernist view, beauty lies in simplicity and elegance, and the aim of the designer is to create solutions to problems through the most efficient means. Design should avoid unnecessary 12More is not a bore. The American-born architect Robert Venturi concluded that if simplicity is done badly, the result is 13 design. Post-Modernist designers began to 14 with decoration and color again. Product design was heavily influenced by this view and can be seen in kitchen 15 such as ovens and kettles.Fitness for purpose. Successful product design takes into consideration a product’s function, purpose, shape, form, color, and so on. The most important result for the user is that the product does what is 16 . For example, think of a(n) 17 desk lamp. It needs to be constructed from materials that will stand the heat of the lamp and regular adjustments by the user. It also needs to be stable. Most importantly, it needs to 18 light where it is needed. Form follows emotion. This phrase is associated with the German designer Hartmut Esslinger. He believes design must take into 19 the sensory side of our nature——sight, smell touch and taste. These are as important as rational. When choosing everyday products such as toothpaste, we appreciated a cool-looking device that allows us to easily 20 the toothpaste onto our brush.三、完形填空The beauty, majesty, and timelessness of a primary rainforest are indescribable. It ishad the awe-inspiring experience of standing in the heart of a primary rainforest.Rainforests have 22 over millions of years to turn into the incredibly complex environments they are today. Rainforests represent a store of living and 23 renewable natural resources that for an immeasurably long period of time, by virtue of their richness in both animal and plant species, have 24 a wealth of resources for the survival and well-being of humankind. These resources have included basic food supplies, clothing, shelter, fuel, spices, industrial raw materials, and medicine for all those who have lived in the majesty of the forest. 25 , the inner dynamics (动力学；相互作用的方式) of a tropical rainforest is a complex and fragile system. Everything is so 26 that upsetting one part can lead to unknown damage or even destruction of the whole. Sadly, it has taken only a century of human intervention to destroy what nature designed to 27 forever.The scale of human 28 on ecosystems everywhere has increased enormously in the last few decades. Since 1980 the global economy has tripled in size and the world population has increased by 30 percent. Consumption of everything on the planet has risen — at a cost to our 29 . In 2001, The World Resources Institute estimated that the demand for rice, wheat, and corn is expected to grow by 40% by 2025, increasing irrigation water demands by 50% or more. They further reported that the demand for wood could double by the year 2050; 30 , it is still the tropical forests of the world that supply the most part of the world’s demand for wood.In 1950, about 15 percent of the Earth’s land surface was covered by rainforest. Today, more than half has already gone up in 31 . In fewer than fifty years, about half of the world’s tropical rainforests have fallen 32 to fire or deforestation, and the rate of destruction is still 33 . Unbelievably, more than 200,000 acres of rainforest are burned every day. That is more than 150 acres lost every minute of every day, and 78 million acres lost every year! More than 20 percent of the Amazon rainforest is already gone, and much more is severely 34 as the destruction continues. If nothing is done to control this 35 , the entire Amazon could well be gone within fifty years. Fewer rainforests mean lessrain, less oxygen for us to breathe, and an increased threat from global warming. 21．A．establish B．claim C．capture D．prove 22．A．extended B．evolved C．expanded D．resolved 23．A．energizing B．healing C．isolating D．breathing 24．A．destroyed B．contributed C．reduced D．affected 25．A．However B．Furthermore C．Therefore D．Otherwise 26．A．active B．positive C．interdependent D．dominant 27．A．restore B．support C．relieve D．last 28．A．pressure B．resources C．concern D．strengths 29．A．existence B．ecosystem C．species D．survival 30．A．unfortunately B．consequently C．naturally D．similarly 31．A．store B．food C．smoke D．wealth 32．A．subject B．down C．apart D．victim 33．A．running out B．going up C．holding back D．falling down 34．A．released B．revealed C．threatened D．boosted 35．A．trend B．practice C．intention D．attitude四、阅读理解Seasickness and sunburn. Taking care of old people in different situations. My medical friends did their best to persuade me. Everyone said that running away to sea would ruin my career. But after five sleep-deprived (睡眠不足的) years working as a junior doctor, I was willing to take the risk.Hungry for adventure, I boarded a bright white ship in Singapore. With 2,000 passengers and crew, she was the size of a small town.To my relief, the hospital was well equipped, with an X-ray machine and a blood analyzer.That first cruise (航行) was a learning experience, a tight schedule full of safety drills (演习). There was so much new information to take in. Even remembering which of the uniforms to wear each day was a challenge. Most confusing, I often forgot to change my clock when the ship crossed time zones.As a doctor, I was responsible for the 600 crew including waiters, engineers, cooks andnavigators (领航员), and I was on call (随时待命的) for the entire ship.Far from treating seasickness and sunburn, as I’d been warned, my patients were wide and varied. The ship’s medical center was essentially a floating emergency room, but we didn’t have a team of specialists on hand for a second opinion. With long and unpredictable hours, it required mental toughness.As you can guess, many of the passengers were elderly. Heart attacks don’t care about geography and emergency evacuations (疏散) were difficult to arrange.I recall one such patient, who was taken off the ship on a stretcher (担架) halfway through the Panama Canal. After a terrifying ride in the back of an old ambulance, I was relieved that the patient survived long enough to arrive at the hospital in Panama City.Thankfully, there were several unexpected benefits to the job. I regularly enjoyed the passenger facilities, including the gym, spa and deck buffet (甲板自助餐). I even hosted my own table of passengers in the evenings. On rare days off, I volunteered as a tour guide on trips ashore (在陆地). I got to fly over Alaska in a seaplane and watched a ballet in St Petersburg.I now understand that being a cruise ship doctor is not a job — it’s a way of life.One year at sea became two. I lost my career ambitions, but I redefined happiness in my life.36．What can we know about the author’s first cruise?A．She missed her job as a doctor.B．She enjoyed a relaxing lifestyle.C．She had to learn a lot of things.D．She often felt confused about her job duties.37．Why does the author mention the patient who was sent to the hospital in Panama City?A．To tell that it was difficult to look after old patients.B．To prove that being a cruise ship doctor is more tiring.C．To stress the importance of a well-equipped hospital on the ship.D．To show it was challenging to handle emergency situations on the ship.38．What is Paragraph 9 mainly about?A．The author’s experience as a tour guide.B．The advantages of being a cruise ship doctor.C．The loneliness of being the ship’s only doctor.D．Various facilities for passengers on the cruise ship.39．What does the author think of her experience as a cruise ship doctor?A．It was too stressful to tolerate.B．It helped her build a better career.C．It changed her understanding of happiness.D．It provided opportunities to make more friends.Are You a Moring Person?Mornings are not for everyone. Knowing that our own bodies may be wired to prefer a certain time of day is certainly a relief. But many of us still have to wake up and function during those first daylight hours. So what can you do?We tapped a variety of experts - from sleep experts to nutritionists to life organizational pros (生活管理达人) — to share their tricks on how to make morning less stressful and more pleasant for even the most after-hours of night owls.1. Night wakingPoor sleep quality can explain why we sometimes wake up from eight hours of snoozing and feel like we only clocked in at four. “It’s normal to have one or two awakenings, but more than that leaves us feeling groggy (昏昏沉沉) in the morning because of the fragmented sleep,” explains Shelby Harris, director of the behavioral sleep medicine program at Montefiore Medical Center.2. The Science of snoozingThe snooze button does more harm than good. Nodding off again sends you into a light and fragmented sleep! Multiple snoozes can leave you feeling groggier than just getting out of bed the first time. Instead, be honest about the time you intend to get up and then enjoy every last minute of sleep, so you can wake up alert and ready to go.3. Don’t ease into your workdayIt can be tempting to plow through the easy things early on—checking e-mail, scanning the headlines—but it’s wise to tackle the bigger stuff first. “Getting to work on the most important tasks not only ups the chances that they actually get done, but it also leaves you with a burst of accomplishment to take with you the rest of the day,” says Jason Selk, coauthor of Organize Tomorrow Today.4. Save social media for laterSchedule a social media block later in the afternoon to check in when you’re likely toneed a break anyway, and save the morning for the important stuff.40．What’s the purpose of the passage?A．To help us to get the most out of our mornings.B．To relieve us from the guilt of multiple snoozes in the morning.C．To warn us of the harm of not getting out of bed immediately.D．To inform us about the fact that our bodies are wired to prefer a certain time of day. 41．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．One or two awakenings ensure us a good night’s sleep.B．To be an early bird, better forget about the snooze button.C．It’s important not to block social medium if you want to save your morning.D．Beginning a day with easy things aroused our interest and a sense of accomplishment. 42．Where can we find the passage?A．Classified Advertisement B．Travel BrochureC．Life and Study D．Scientific JournalWe all have a tendency to fake laugh, particularly when authority figures in our lives try to make a joke that just doesn’t land. Though it might feel rude not to laugh when your in-laws or boss try to say something funny, pretending to do so might not be much better. It turns out, even if you think that your forced laughing sounds genuine, people are usually pretty good at separating truly spirited belly laughs from fake ones. But how can they possible know the difference?Well, when researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles studied the acoustic and perceptual differences between real and fake laughter, they found that some of the sounds associated with genuine laughter is “really hard to fake.” In their study, the researchers determined that subjects were only fooled by 37 percent of fake laughter.The most prominent factor distinguishing real laughter from fake laughter is duration --or, more specifically, the number of breaths taken in in between sounds. Seeing as it takes more effort and concentration to fake a laugh as opposed to do it genuinely, people tend to pause more in between their “ha-ha’s” when they’re faking it. Evidently, that pausing is pretty noticeable.“A fake laugh is basically an imitation of a real laugh, but produced with a slightly different set of vocal muscles controlled by a different part of our brain,” Greg Bryant, thelead UCLA researcher on the study, explained. “The result is that there are subtle features of the laugh that sound like speech, and ... people are unconsciously quite sensitive to them.”People have also proven to be emotionally sensitive to laughter as well. “Our rains are very sensitive to the social and emotional significance of laughter,” said Carolyn McGettigan, a scientist at Royal Holloway, University of London.McGettigan conducted a 2014 study that recorded participants’ brain responses as they listened to the same people produce genuine laughter by watching funny videos, as opposed to fake laughter. “During our study, when participants heard a laugh that was posed, they activated regions of the brain associated with mentalizing in an attempt to understand the other person’s emotional and mental state,” she said.So, while we may understand that certain social situations sometimes require fake laughter, most of the time, our instincts and emotional intelligence are just too smart to buy into them.According to McGettigan, that’s a good thing. “Evolutionarily speaking, it’s good to be able to detect if someone is authentically experiencing an emotion or if they’re not,” she said. “Because you don’t want to be fooled.”43．What do researchers at the University of California want to find out in this study?A．What is the difference between a fake laugh and a real one.B．Which part of the brain controls the sound of our laughter.C．Why do people need to fake laugh when they don’t want to.D．How to laugh as genuinely as possible when you are faking it.44．Your forced laughing is more noticeable than you think, mainly because_______.A．you seem more concentrated when you laugh for realB．you take more breaths when you try to fake a laughC．a fake laugh often happens after a sudden pauseD．a real laugh usually lasts longer than a fake one45．Which of the following is true according to Greg Bryant?A．Real laughter is not at all controllable by our brain.B．People may notice fake laughter without knowing why.C．People use the same set of muscles to laugh and to speak.D．Faking laugh shares the same techniques as making speech.46．What has Carolyn McGettigan’s 2014 study proven?A．Certain social situations may require us to fake a laugh.B．Evolution has enabled us to recognize other’s emotions.C．By instincts, we are able to tell a person’s mental state.D．We can sense other’s emotional state when they laugh.五、六选四Early Childhood EducationEarly childhood education is the formal teaching and care of young children. It primarily focuses on learning through playing to encourage children’s different kinds of development.47Studies with Head Start programs throughout the United States have shown some evidence that there are quite a few advantages to early childhood education, which can produce significant gains in children’s learning and development. Compared with a child who does not attend pre-school, children completing their early education programs are found to be better at math and reading skills. They are excited to learn and have the tools to do so.48 These children are more competent in their pre-school, kindergarten and school-age years, and they are usually reported as “friendlier” by parents and the children’s peers.49 In studies with matched control groups, more students who had early schooling experiences were employed at the age of 19, fewer were on welfare, and fewer were involved with the criminal activity. What’s more, some studies show that children attending pre-school are more likely to graduate and have higher education, and be well integrated as an adult.Early childhood education gives most children a jump-start on education for their kindergarten and primary school years. It is clear that early childhood education do a lot of good to children. 50 If early childhood education is less effective, perhaps the best model is finding strategies for allowing a parent to stay home with his or her child for at least the first two to three years. Also important is considering a child’s own personality. Individual differences in children mean that not all children will get equal benefits from early childhood education.A．The long-term influence of early education is significant as well.B．They can benefit greatly from encouragement in their early childhood.C．Yet its quality must be assessed to see what kind of benefits it actually provides.D．They are also able to relate to others in a superior way and that improves their social skills.E．Many experts of education, however, are concerned about what early childhood education means today.F．It consists of activities that serve children in the pre-school years and is designed to improve later school performance.六、概要写作51．Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.What Is Zero Waste?The goal of the “zero waste” movement is to get rid of all waste from products. “Zero waste” means using every part of a product. Today, the zero waste idea can be found everywhere from food to fashion.Creating a zero waste restaurant is a challenge. It is very difficult to use every part of produce and leave nothing behind. Creating a soup from unused ingredients is a popular way to use up extra food items. Other ways are more advanced. Some restaurants use coffee grounds（咖啡渣）to flavor dishes. Some cooks also crush shrimp shells and reuse them in sauces. While it’s challenging, zero waste restaurants appear to be on the rise.In the fashion industry, zero waste isn’t a new idea. But in today’s world of fast fashion, zero waste is growing more popular. Usually, cutting cloth creates lots of waste. In zero waste fashion, designers try to avoid this. One way to do so is by adding these extra pieces of cloth to the final design. Another way is to design clothing without wasteful cuts.Beyond restaurants and fashion, there are many other possibilities for zero waste products. All restaurants need utensils（器皿）. Bakey’s is a company that is developing edible （可食用的）utensils. After using them, you can eat them! Their spoons are made of flour and come in all kinds of flavors. While these spoons are not hard enough to cut meat, they are perfect for rice dishes. Meanwhile, Air New Zealand is experimenting with edible coffee cups that are made by the company Twice. They have already introduced a line of flavored cups. After you finish your coffee, you eat the cup, just like a cookie!Whether products are made to be edible or reusable, hopefully the movement will helpreduce waste all over the world._______________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ________________________七、汉译英（整句）52．性格温和的人也会在特定场合下发牌气。
