Finally ，Adam finished the trek with his crew ．He is now one of the only BoyScouts with hemophilia to have ever participated in and completed a Philmont Trek ．What encouraged Adam to take on this challenge despite the risk ？"I thought it would be fun and a good thing to do as long as I was prepared．And my parents have always encouraged me to not let hemophilia be the only factor in ANY decision ．1.What has stopped Adam from participating in some Scouting activities over the years ？A.Inadequate trek experience ．B.His fear of the wilderness ．B．Lack of camping skills ．D．His health condition ．2.On the 3rd day of the Philmont Trek ，________A.Adam needed medical attentionB.the team was caught in the heavy rainC.two doctors hiked all the way to find AdamD.the rest of the boys backpacked on with Adam's shirt3.Why did Adam participate in this challenging activity ？___________A.He had a love for it ．B. He was eager to be a leader．C.He wanted to set a record．D. His parents decided for him ．4.Which of the following words can best describe Adam ？ _________A.Athletic and ambitious ．B.Considerate and fearless．C.courageous and determined．D.Confident and knowledgeable ．Be nice to mice and they may return the favour ．Only one drug of every ten successfully tested in laboratory animals ends up working in people．One reason，of course，is that mice are not men．Another ，though，might have to do with the fact that while human patients are afforded all manner of creature comforts ，their animal proxies （代替物）．Although medical science's favourite creatures relish temperatures of a little over 30 ℃，laboratories routinely keep them at five or ten degrees below that ．This is not in order to abuse the beasts bu．t rather，because when kept warm they are unmanageably aggressive．The downside is that they have to eat more than they otherwise would ，in order to keep their bodies warm．That changes their physiology （生理）．And that in turn changes the way they metabolise （新陈代谢）drugs，with possibly confusing results ．Joseph Garner，of Stanford University ，thinks the answer is to keep the labs cool ，but let mice deal with the low temperatures a？they do in their natural habitat ：not by eating more but by building nests ．So far ，though，no one has a clear idea of how much nesting material is needed to keep mice happy．Dr Garner and his colleagues therefore decided to find out．They have just reported their results in the Public Library of Science ．Dr Gamer and his team let each of their mice ，36 males and as many females from three types commonly used in trials ，wander free in two cages connected by a narrow tube．One cage was kept constant at one of six temperatures between 20℃ and 35℃．The other was maintained at 20 C but wa°s supplied with up to ten grams of very small pieces of paper ，which the mice could use to weave a nest ．The idea was to check whether the animals would rather build a nest in the cooler cage or move to the warmer one ，possibly pulling nesting material along with them little by little ．The researchers found that the mice's preferences varied slightly between types，as well as between sexes（with females fond of higher temperatures ，possibly because of their thinner protective layer of fat ），confirming that there is no single set of conditions in which all mice feel cosy ．In general，though ，with little nesting material around ，the mice laboriously carried pieces of paper over to the warmer spot，one or two at a time．But leave at least six grams of paper in the chilly cage ，and many mice will prefer instead to brave the cold and build a nest there．That seems a small price to pay for better drug trials ．5.What does the underlined word "relish" in Paragraph 3 probably mean ？ __________A.Resist．B. Enjoy ．C. Avoid ．D. Maintain ．6.Mice eating more than they normally do may lead to ________A.better management of their behaviorB.their different body response to drugs ．C. A slowdown in their metabolism ．D. A confusion in their mind ．7.Dr Garner and his team found that ________A.mice keep warm by moving pieces of paperB.female mice better beat the cold than male miceC.mice tend to fight the cold under certain conditionsD.different types of mice prefer very different temperatures8.To have a better drug trial ，researchers need to _________ ．A.provide little foode other animal proxiesC.raise the lab temperatureD.prepare enough nesting materialCWhen Steve Jobs took to the stage in 2008 to announce the second iPhone and，just as importantly ，the then-brand new App Store ，he was selling consumers one simple thing ：choice ．Whether you wanted to play games ，read the news ，watch videos，or do a thousand other things ，there was something for whatever your heart desired ．Then a funny thing happened ．Logging into the App Store today is a bit like going Into a shopping mall armed only with a coupon （优惠券）for one thing ：There's so much choice；it might just be easier to give up than choose ．It isn't just consumers who are burdened ，though ．Too much content of all kinds is also starting to have economic effects ．When there are millions of apps available ，It becomes more and more difficult to charge 5or10 ，so over time，a dollar or two has become the norm ．A large amount of choice causes pressure，pushing prices down and driving us all a bit crazy in the process ．So what is the way forward ？It may well be to turn less choice itself into the marketing strategy．There are already signs this is happening．Firstly ，content companies are looking to prevent their offerings from getting lost in the tons of stuff ．Most obvious is Disney ，which is slowly pulling its films and shows off YouTube to open its own streaming service next year．The point is to narrow the focus so that those seeking Disney cartoons will have one place to go，rather than being around various services ．Yet if that represents a careful first step ，there are more extreme options，too．Consider the idea of a wine club ；From the tens of thousands of bottles each yea，r subscribers pay someone to select the most interesting or rare offerings ．Perhaps what comes next for digital content is something similar-carefully selected offerings from trusted sources （来源）that end up putting choice in the hands of someone else in order to get rid of the anxiety of choosing ．Up until this point ，too much choice in digital media has had only one solution ：the algorithm （运算法则）．But we've seen the trouble with algorithms like those on YouTube ．They feed you only what you've already said you like ，not things you may not yet know you're into ．Worse，they have a tendency to serve up disturbing content ．The way forward can't simply be more or better algorithms ．Instead ，it's time for digital companies to start thinking about how to put limits on things ：on how much we can use a device ，or what we have available to choose from ．To be sure，it's the opposite of free market ，which is supposed to work on offering morechoice ．But perhaps it isn't such an unusual reaction．Alter all ，free markets are supposed to respond to consumer demand ．And as we move further into the digital revolution ，what people are asking for is clear：Less．9.Too much choice of content on the market results in ________A. the shutdown of companiesB. the anxiety of consumersC. the poor quality of productsD. the slowdown of economy10.What is mainly talked about in Paragraphs 4 and 5 ？_________A. Why content companies open their own streaming services ．B.Whether content companies should cut their offerings ．C.Where content companies should post their offerings ．D.How content companies narrow the consumers' focus ．11.For consumers，the algorithm will probably ________A. make a better choice for them ．B.help to remove disturbing contentC.fail to offer what they possibly likeD.change their interest in digital media12.What is the author's attitude towards limiting the choice consumers have ？__________A.

Understanding how you really feelB. Trying to understand the other side of a story．C. Listening to what the other person is saying．D. Controlling your feelings when you are angry29.What is the fourth paragraph mainly about？______A. The result of Sherri's angerB. The explanation of Sherri's emotional problemsC. The reason for Sherri's failure in her math examD. The importance of understanding Sherri's real feelings30.What is the writer's main purpose in writing the passage？______A.

Recently, there have been many reports in newspapers and on TV about big animals coming into towns and cities. There have been bears in Vancouver p arks, leopards on the streets of Mumbai and wild pigs in gardens in Berlin. What happens when big animals come into our cities?Wild animals usually come into cities to look for food. In Cape Town, South Africa, baboons sometimes eat fruit from gardens and go into people’s kitchens and take food from fridges! Baboons are strong animals that scare children. Many people do not like them, but the city can be dangerous for baboons too. So metimes, baboons are hurt in car accidents and human food can kill them. The city council (议会) in Cape Town has a team of Baboon Monitors. Their job i s to find baboons in the city and take them back to the countryside. This makes the city safer for people and it is healthier for the baboons. The problem is th at many baboons will come back to the city to look for food again.In Berlin, Germany, groups of wild pigs sometimes come into the city to look for food. Pigs have come into the city for hundreds of years, but since the wint ers are warmer, there are more pigs now than in the past. Pigs eat flowers and plants in gardens and parks in the city. They also walk in the street and cause t raffic accidents. Some people like the pigs and give them food. But the city council is worried about traffic accidents. They have told people not to give thepigs food and have put up fences (围栏) to stop the pigs from entering the city.In Moscow, Russia, there are about 35, 000 wild dogs. They live in parks, markets and train stations. Some of the dogs were pets that people did not want s o they left them on the streets. Others were born on the streets and have always lived there. Some dogs live alone and others live in packs (成群). A lot of pe ople like them, and they give the dogs food and water. The winter in Moscow is very cold and people usually offer places for dogs to live in.For many animals, cities are dangerous places and they need our help to return to the countryside.【小题1】What can we learn from the second paragraph?A．Many children like playing with baboons.B．Cape Town is a safe place for baboons to stay.C．The city council tried to protect baboons in Cape Town.D．Baboons were born on the streets and have always lived there.【小题2】What do we know about wild pigs in Berlin?A．They make streets dirty.B．They eat fruit from fridges.C．They cause traffic accidents.D．They break fences around gardens.【小题3】What is the best title for the passage?A．Animal Protection B．Animals in the CityC．People and Nature D．Food for Animals15. 阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。
