While they were traveling, they happened to pass a lake. They stopped there and Buddha told one of his followers, “I am thirsty. Please get me some water from that lake there”.The follower walked up to the lake. When he reached it, he noticed that some people were washing clothes in the water and, right at that moment, a bullock cart started crossing the lake right at the edge of it. As a result, the water became very muddy, very dirty. The follower thought, “How can I give this muddy water to Buddha to drink?!” So he came back and told the Buddha, “The water in there is very muddy. I don’t think it is fit to drink”.So, the Buddha said, let us take a little rest here by the tree. After about half an hour, again Buddha asked the same follower to go back to the lake and get him some water to drink. The follower obediently (顺从地) went back to the lake. This time he found that the lake had absolutely clear water in it. The mud had settled down and the water above it looked fit to be had. So he collected some water in a pot and brought it to the Buddha.The Buddha looked at the water, and then he looked up at the follower and said, “See, you let the water be and the mud settled down on its own. You got clear water. It didn’t require any effort”.Our mind is also like that. When it is disturbed, just let it be. Give it a little time and it will settle down on its own. You don’t have to put in any effort to calm it down. We can judge the best decisions of our life when we stay calm.24. Why did Buddha asked his follower to collect water?A. Because they were travelling.B. Because they were passing a river.C. Because Buddha was too tired to go on.D. Because Buddha wanted a drink.25. What does the underlined word “it” in the third paragraph refer to?A. The tree.B. The lake.C. The mud.D. The pot.26. What can you infer about the follower?A. He is reliable and thoughtful.B. He is humorous and intelligent.C. He is hesitant and dependent.D. He is picky and impatient.27. What is the best title for the text?A. Trial and Error.B. Sometimes Just Let it Be.C. Buddha and His Follower.D. Efforts will Pay Off.CWhen I was trying to find a place where to spend my December holidays, I met by chance some cheap flights to Iceland. After checking just a few winter pictures of Iceland, I realized that the country, known as the land of fire and ice, during the cold months of the year could offer me experiences I had never had before.For sure you can’t miss the chance to go to Iceland in winter if your traveling wish list includes at least one of the crazy experiences Iceland can offer. Iceland in the North Atlantic Ocean is a paradise ( 乐园 ) for all those who want to see the northern lights, experience cold weather conditions and put themselves in geothermal ( 地热的 ) baths while the snow is falling on their head.The best way to move around Iceland is with a rental car. Distances are huge and public transport in winter is not really common out of the major towns. As we wanted to be even more convenient we decided to rent a small camper ( 野营车 ). Sleeping and cooking in a camper saved us a lot of driving, money and gave us the chance to be always in the right place at the right time.There were also no locals and in many cases no tourist facilities (设备). For us, as we slept in a camper, it was easier. But for tourists traveling by normal cars it is necessary to check the opening times of hotels and restaurants as many of them run just from June to September.It is amazing to experience how the weather is changing in Iceland. However, Icelanders prefer to stay inside their houses. They have even no time to complain about the weather in December. All they care about is Christmas. They love to decorate their houses, sing Christmas songs and eat typical Christmas food.28. Why is Iceland famous as the land of fire and ice?A. Because tourists would like to play with fire on the ice.B. Because it is too dry to easily cause fire to happen.C. Because there exist hot springs and freezing ice.D. Because it is hot inside a house and cold outside.29. What did the author think of the rented camper?A. It was convenient but cost them more money.B. It was not only practical but also economical.C. It provided the best chance to see the new country.D. It was much faster than other public transport.30. What does the last paragraph imply?A. The joy of Christmas drives the freezing weather away.B. The Icelanders prefer to live with their family.C. December is the coldest month of the year.D. The Icelanders are always positive and stay outside.31.What does this passage most probably come from?A. A textbookB. A scientific reportC. A news reportD. A travel magazineDA research has shown that nearly 90 percent of traffic accidents are caused by human errors. So our aim is a fully autonomous car that gets rid of the cause of most accidents: the driver. Researcher Hod gson points out, “For safety, the faster you can remove humans, the better, even if there are unfortunately a few accidents from new causes. It s a question of balancing the number injured or killed by autonomous vehicles with the people whose lives are po tentially saved.”It’s an idea that Elon Musk, chief executive of electric car company Tesla Motors, has long believed. His company are determined to be the first to deliver a fully autonomous vehicle to consumers. Last year, Musk announced that Tesla’s 2017 goal was “to do an example drive of full autonomy all the way from LA to New York…and have the car park itself.”However, even Tesla admits that there are problems to overcome—the software needs further validation andthe appropriate regulatory approval needs to be in place. Indeed, recent crashes of Tesla vehicles and Google cars confirm that the software isn’t ready yet.The UK government appears committed to encouraging the development of autonomous vehicles. It’s supporting four city trials, publishing the Modem Transport Bill to reduce red tape around their introduction and adapting the legal system to take into account problems such as insurance liability when a human isn’t in control of a vehicle.The insurance industry is similarly eager to help increase autonomy in cars. As the Association of British Insurers (ABI) points out, “More than 90 percent of road accidents are caused by human error.” This costs motor insurers a shocking £20m per day in claims.32. What difficulty does the company Tesla Motors have?A. New inventions may cause more injuries and deaths.B. The company lacks confidence to make new creations.C. The software should be made officially acceptable.D. The traffic regulation has proved unreasonable.33. What is the UK government’s attitude to autonomous cars?A. Ambiguous.B. Positive.C. Cautious.D. Disapproving.34. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Insurance companies would like to support autonomous cars.B. Human mistakes may be the key cause of traffic accidents.C. Traffic accidents wastes insurance companies quite a lot.D. Motorists are surprised to hear about autonomous cars.35. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To show his deep love for autonomous cars.B. To introduce a new development in technology.C. To amuse readers with funny examples.D. To provide a persuasive argument against autonomy.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。

Made up of two small terracotta domes(赤陶圆顶) and a metal tray, the device takes advantage of the natural heating ability of these materials, drawing heat from just four tealights placed inside it and sending it out in your living space.It may look basic in its shape, materials used and the fact that it has no fancy switches, but Egloo is actually 3D-printed so it’s actually a lot more high-tech than most electric heaters on the market today. At about seven inches wide and weighing just over two pounds, Egloo won’t take up too much space, and ca n be easily moved around at any time. Just make sure you don’t touch it directly, as it tends to get pretty hot.Egloo started crowd-funded through an Indiegogo campaign last year, blowing past its initial goal of $30,000 and getting $262,513 by the end of the campaign. It’s currently available for purchase via the Egloo website, for anywhere between $50 and $100, depending on size, color and glaze. Considering some users pay that much for heat every couple of weeks, the price seems very attractive.25. Wha t does “it” refer to in the 2nd paragraph?A. Heat.B. Egloo.C. Electricity.D. Tealight.26. What should we be cautious of when using Egloo?A. Its size.B. Its weight.C. Its temperature.D. Its price.27. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Egloo can be bought in stores anywhere.B. Egloo had planned to raise $30,000 at first.C. Egloo is much cheaper online than in stores.D. Egloo got investment from the government.CCheynes Beach Whaling Station is Australia’s last whaling station. Operated since 1952 it is now closed. This brings an end to whaling activity that has forced humpbacks(座头鲸), southern right whales, and sperm whales(抹香鲸) almost to die out in Australian waters.Improved technology such as faster boats and later factory ships and the use of aircraft to find groups of whales increased the efficiency of whaling and reduced the number of whales. This forced the Australian government to prevent all whaling from happening before whales died out in Australian waters.Tangalooma in Queensland was once the largest land-based whaling station in the southern hemisphere(半球). It closed in 1962 after reducing the number of humpbacks off the east coast of Australia from about 15,000 to 500 whales in ten years. Humpbacks have been protected under Australian law since 1963.The first Greenpeace activity in Australia saw people take action against Cheynes Beach Whaling Company ships, drawing international attention to the industry at that time.Whaling was one of Australia's first industries. Whale oil was used for lighting and candle making. Later the oil was used in cosmetics(化妆品) while whale meat was used for animal food. Whale bones were used in women s clothing.The value of the industry became different greatly over the years as the prices of whale oil were affected by market influences. The introduction of vegetable oil and new ways of getting petroleum oil in the USA in the late 1850s reduced the world’ s dependence on whale oil.16,000 sperm whales have been killed in Australia waters since 1952. The final season’s catch for the Cheynes Beach. Station was 698 sperm whales.28. How did new technology influence whales?A. They were better protected.B. They were left in safer environments.C. They were used more effectively.D. They were caught more easily.29. What do we know about Tangalooma?A. It was set up in the sea.B. It didn’t kill any whales after 1962.C. It was protected under Australian law.D. It used to be the world’s largest whaling station.30. What did Greenpeace members probably think of whaling?A. It was cruel.B. It was acceptable.C. It was internationally popular.D. It was a slowly developing industry.31. Which of the following was a use of whale oil?A. Improving health.B. Making clothes.C. Creating lighting .D. Producing food.DFor fans of Tai Chi, the wait to see it get global recognition may soon be over.China has nominated (提名) Tai Chi to be included in the UNESCO list of intangible cultural heritage. A final decision will be made later this year. The list was introduced by UNESCO in 2008 to celebrate and protect the world’s cultural d iversity. It’s hoped that Tai Chi will become China’s 30th entry on the list. But there are fears that other countries could beat China to UNESCO’s list. Now both South Korea and Japan are competing with us to get Tai Chi registered.Tai Chi, a kind of martial art, has been practiced in China for centuries. It combines slow movements, deep breathing and meditation(冥想). Every movement in Tai Chi represents an important part of traditional Chinese philosophy—harmony. “It is not just a traditional activity. It is deeply rooted in many areas of Chinese culture and is connected to ancient Chinese civilization.” said Zhu Xianghua, the son of the famous Tai Chi master Zhu Tiancai from the village of Chenjiagou, Henan. That is widely thought to be the birthplace of Tai Chi.Although it’s popular, the idea that Tai Chi is for the elderly has stopped many young people practicing the ancient martial art. They think of it as a slow exercise, which is better suited for their grandparents. Many young people are turning to Indian Yoga, which was placed on UNESCO’s list last year. About 10 million Chinese people practice yoga in 2014, up from 4 million in 2009. Many of them do yoga to keep fit and relieve stress.Tai chi is also a great way to keep healthy. Researchers from the American college of Rheumatology found that it can help manage several diseases. At the same time, more efforts are being made by China to get young people to practice this kind of martial art.32. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A. Tai Chi and Indian Yoga.B. Recognition on Way for Tai Chi.C. Sports among Young Generation.D. Popularity on Way for Tai Chi.33. What does the writer want to convey in Paragraph 3?A. Tai Chi is ancient and native in China.B. Tai Chi is popular in Henan province.C. Chinese culture is based on Tai Chi.D. Tai Chi leads to a harmonious society.34. The author mentioned Indian Yoga to ________.A. compare Tai Chi with Indian YogaB. provide ways for the protection of Tai ChiC. explain why Chinese youth prefer YogaD. show how popular Indian Yoga is in China35. What is likely to be written about after the last paragraph?A. What can be done to promote Tai Chi.B. How Tai Chi can be beneficial to people.C. What the research of Rheumatology is.D. How Tai Chi develops at home and abroad.第二节(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)Live longerEveryone wants to live longer. We try to exercise, eat right and get enough sleep.
