The flag showed the country to which the ship belonged. The Union Jack became the flag of Great Britain. Australia5 s flag has the Union Jack in the top left hand corner together with the stars of the Southern Cross. They have kept this small part of Britain on their flag because their country was first settled by people from Britain.Australia,s flag is the same color as the Union Jack一red, white and blue. The act of joiningtogether is called a " Union" . The Union Jack was the name of the flag made when England, Scotland and Ireland joined together to make one country.It all began in 1707 when England and Scotland joined together to become one nation. A flag was made using two crosses一one for the patron saint of each country. The word “patron" means protector. Many centuries before the English had taken St George as their patron saint, his emblem (标志)was a red cross on a white background. The Scottish patron saint was St Andrew. In memory of him, they used a white cross on a blue background. This cross was shaped like the letter "X” . The new flag was a mixture of both flags with two sets of crosses. When Ireland joined England and Scotland in 1800, another cross was added. St Patrich,s cross of Ireland was red and also shaped like an "X” . All three flags now mad e up the Union Jack.21.The Union Jack is a kind of and contains .A.flag; three crossesB. ship; four crossesC. flag; two crossesD. ship; three crosses22.Why does Australia have the Union Jack in its flag?A.Because Australians respect the English.B.Because the Union Jack is colorful.C.Because people from Britain settled in Australia first.D.Because people from Britain brought the Union Jack to Australia.23.Which of the following is not true?A.The emblem of the English was a red cross on a white background.B.The Scottish used a white cross on a blue background in memory of St Andrew.C.Australia,s flag is the same color as the Union Jack.D.The Irish used a red cross on a blue background in memory of St George.24.The colors of the flag of Great Britain now are .A.red, black and blueB. white, yellow and blueC. red, whiteand blackD. red , white and blue2、The BBC was founded in 1922, including radio and television services. It is based at Broadcasting House in London.The BBC is controlled by some governors chosen by the government, but these people have freedom and the government can' t interfere (干扰).That is, the BBC is supposed not to be the mouthpiece (代言人)of the government. It has to be as fair as possible in giving radio andtelevision time to, for example, political parties and religious groups.There is a kind of interesting service in British-rental services. Many people prefer to renttheir television sets instead of buying them.The rent for a black and white set is about 80 pence a week , The rent of a color set is more than twice that of a black and white set. If the sets go wrong, people can have them repaired free of charge or replaced immediately.Everyone has to buy a yearly license, since there is no advertising on BBC radio or television. It is from the sale of licenses that the BBC gets most of its money. A license for a black and white set costs 8 pounds, and for a colour set 18 pounds a year.There are four specialized radio channels, which broadcast different kinds of programmes. Radio I is mainly pop music. Radio 2 deals with light music, sports and other programmes. Radio 3 broadcasts serious music, talks on serious subjects etc. News broadcasts are mainly given by Radio 4.There are special programmes for Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and certain parts of England.

" Dad, in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belt 一a mistake 75% of the US population makes every day. The big question is why.There have been many myths about safety belts ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago. The following are three of the most common.Myth Number One : It' s best to be u thrown clear" of a serious accident.Truth : Sorry, but any accident serious enough to u throw you clear" is also going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing. And chances are you' 11 have traveled through a windshield (挡风玻璃)or door to do it. Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twentyfive times greater in cases where people are “thrown clear".Myth Number Two : Safety belts "trap" people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.Truth : Sorry again, but studies show that people knocked unconscious (无知觉的)due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situation, not to be trapped in them.Myth Number Three : Safety belts aren , t needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour (mph ). Truth : When two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other, an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving head first into the ground from a height of 10 meters.28.

AFor Stevens Point locals in the US, the city is flooded with delicious fried fish. Here are four top choices for the community to have a try.Hilltop Pub&GrillHilltop Pub&Grill first opened in the 1980s and took the Stevens Point community by storm with its delicious food and unique decoration style. Its fried fish are beloved due to the use of “hi gh-quality North Atlantic cod, with a light beer batter (面糊)”.The Final Score Bar&GrillThe Final Score Bar&Grill aimed to become a local hot spot in 2001 when Jim Billings, the owner, took charge of the business. Billings feels that their five batter flavors set them apart from their neighboring bars. Besides, various wines are available.Point After Pub&GrillPoint After Pub&Grill started serving delicious food and cold beers in a welcoming environment in 2009. But its history runs much longer. “Before it was Point After Pub&Grill, it had been Northside Bar for 30 plus years,”explained Molski, the owner. Molski feels that the pub’s four special batter choices and other fish specials are what help make it an area landmark.Two Harps PubThis Irish pub opened its doors to the public in 2017 and has been drawing fans and locals ever since. “I had done my career for a long time and was kind of bored with it,” said Nick Moore, the owner. “And this opportunity fell into my lap, so I went with it. It really made sense to open up an Irish bar.” The grow ing pub advises guests to try a cold beer with their Friday fried fish.1. What makes Hilltop Pub&Grill popular with customers?A. The convenient location.B. The special food.C. The high-quality service.D. The unique wine.2. What do The Final Score Bar&Grill and Point After Pub&Grill have in common?A. They are both run by the same company.B. They are both famous for great wines.C. They both feature some particular batter.D. They were both founded ten years ago.3. What is special about Two Harps Pub?A. It is the newest among the four pubs.B. It offers free cold beers to customers.C. It only provides fried fish on Fridays.D. It has a unique decoration style.BEver since I graduated from high school I’ve worked in the factories surrounding my hometown every summer. However, making the transformation between school and full-time blue-collar work during the break never gets any easier. For a student like me who considers anyclass before noon to be unacceptable, getting to a factory by 6 o’clock each morning is suffering. My friends never seem to understand why I’m so relieved to be back at school or that my summer vacation has been anything but a vacation.There are few people as self-confident as a college student who has never been out in the real world. People of my age always seem to overestimate the value of their time and knowledge. In fact, all the classes did not prepare me for my battles with the machine I ran in the plant, which would jam whenever I absent-mindedly put in a part backward or upside down.The most stressful thing about blue-collar life is knowing your job could disappear over night. Issues like being laid off and overseas relocation had always seemed distant to me until my co-workers told me that the unit I was working in would shut down within six months and move to Mexico, where people would work for 60 cents an hour.After working 12-hour shifts (轮班) in a factory, the other options have become only too clear. “This job pays well, but it’s hell on the body,” said one co-worker. “Study hard and keep reading.”she added. When I’m back at the university, skipping classes and turning in lazy re-writes seems too irresponsible after seeing what I would be doing without school. All the advice and public-service announcements about the value of an education that used to sound stale (陈腐的) now ring true.My experiences in the factories have inspired me to make the most of my college years beforeI enter the real world for good.4. What does the author think of his summer holidayA. It was no holiday for him at all.B. It brought him nothing but suffering.C. It was a relief from his hard work at school.D. It offered him a chance to make more friends.5. What can we infer about most college studentsA. They do better in the real world.B. They are confident when they work.C. They think too highly of themselves.D. They are expert at handling machines.6. What is the biggest pressure for blue-collar workers?A. A low incomeB. The lack of securityC. An unstable locationD. Less break7. How did the working experiences change the authorA. He became responsible for his work.B. He learned to be more practical at work.C. He began to respect blue-collar workers.D. He came to appreciate his college education.CUS author Henry Rollins once wrote: “Loneliness adds beauty to life. It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better.” Indeed, in the eyes of artists, loneliness never seems to go out of style. There are paintings that portray loneliness, songs that are inspired by loneliness, and many works of literature that center around this theme.In the eyes of UK economist Rachel Reeves, however, loneliness is far from romantic. Instead, it’s a “giant evil” that’s become a serious problem in the country.So just how serious is it? On Jan 17, UK Prime Minister Theresa May appointed politician Tracey Crouch as the countr y’s very first “Minister for Loneliness”. Her job is to tackle (处理) the loneliness that the country’s been feeling—a problem which, according to UK government research, is affecting more than 9 million people in the country, and is more harmful to one’s ph ysical and mental health than smoking 15 cigarettes a day.And the problem hasn’t just appeared recently. Back in 2014, the UK was given the title of the “loneliness capital of Europe” by The Telegraph. A survey carried out by the newspaper found that British people were less likely to get to know their neighbors or build strong relationships with people than those from other European countries.“There is something about British wanting to deal with problems themselves,” Christian Guy, director of the Centre for Social Justice think-tank (智囊团), told The Telegraph.But this doesn’t mean that the problem only affects Britons. In fact, we’re all suffering from loneliness now more than ever, in spite of most of the world now having access to the Internet, which has enabled us to be more connected than ever.What we need, according to Kim Leadbetter, sister of the late UK politician Jo Cox, is to have “proper human connections”. “Our lives nowadays are so busy. We spend the vast majority of our time on our phones, on our laptops. We need to press pause on that and actually sit down and speak to human beings,” Leadbetter said at an event last year.But the first steps toward fighting this problem are to accept its existence and not be ashamed or intimidated (吓倒) by it. After all, without loneliness, many beautiful paintings, songs, and literary works wouldn’t even exist. And “evil” or not, being lonely is simply part of the experience of being human.8. What can we learn about the UK’s loneliness problem?A. The UK became the loneliest country in the world in 2014.B. More than half of British people suffer from loneliness.C. The government is working to solve the problem.D. British people communicate less with their neighbors than ever.9. According to the text, social loneliness _______.A. has become a problem worldwideB. didn’t attract the public’s attention until recentlyC. is mainly caused by the wide use of the InternetD. does more harm mentally than physically10. What does Leadbetter suggest doing to cope with loneliness?A. Making more phone calls to our friends.B. Stopping the use of electronic products.C. Interacting with the people around us face to face more often.D. Accepting its existence calmly.11. Which of the following would the author probably agree with?A. Loneliness is a giant evil of society.B. Only artists can appreciate the beauty of loneliness.C. It is hard to find a solution to social loneliness.D. Loneliness is just a normal part of our life.DWhen we look at a lovely baby, a puppy or a really cute kitten many of us want to squeeze it. Why is that?According to a study published in the journal Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, it’s a typical experience of “cute aggression”. The experience results from the fight between the brain’s “emotion system”, which impels (驱使) people to squeeze cute things, and its “reward system” which deals with feelings of “wanting”.In the study, 54 participants between the ages of 18 and 40 were presented with four groups of photos. Two of the groups of photos were of cute human babies and animals and the other two were of less adorable adult humans and animals. As the participants looked at the photos, there searchers watched their brain activities.According to the researchers, the participants reward systems were found to be active as they looked at the cute babies, and they seemed to be overwhelmed (征服的). By contrast, the reward systems of the people looking at the less cute adults were found to be inactive, and they seemed to be less impelled by their reward systems.This suggests that cute things activate their emotion systems in such a way that people are overwhelmed by the experience of cuteness. But reward systems work against these emotions by creating the desire to protect cute things.As Katherine Stavropoulos, the lead researcher of this study at the University of California in the US told Science Alert, “The cute aggression is the brain’s way of ‘bringing us back down’ by balancing our feelings of being overwhelmed.”Stavropoulos compared this process of balancing to an evolutionary adaptation. Such an adaptation may have taken place to ensure that people are able to continue taking care of creaturesthey consider particularly cute.So, although cute babies and adorable animals may look completely helpless, their vulnerable (易受伤害的) appearance may in fact help them to survive.12. According to the text, “cute aggression” refers to .A. the emotion of wanting to protect cute thingsB. the task of emotion system and reward systemC. the adaptation of consistently taking care of cute creaturesD. the behavior of squeezing a cute baby or animal when seeing it13. In nature, “cute aggression” is caused by .A. the need of the brain to balance all feelingsB. the photos of cute human babies and animalsC. the vulnerable appearance of babies or animalsD. the conflict between emotion system and reward system14. Which of the following statements about the study is TRUE?A. Facial expressions of the participants were observed.B. Katherine Stavropoulos conducted this study on her own.C. Cute babies and animals affected brain activities of all the participants.D. The participants were divided into two groups in order to make comparison.15. What is the author’s purpose in writing this text?A. To persuade readers to protect cute animals.B. To stress the significance of cute aggression.C. To present research findings on cute aggression.D. To share an interesting phenomenon with readers.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

AFor Stevens Point locals in the US, the city is flooded with delicious fried fish. Here are four top choices for the community to have a try.Hilltop Pub&GrillHilltop Pub&Grill first opened in the 1980s and took the Stevens Point community by storm with its delicious food and unique decoration style. Its fried fish are beloved due to the use of “hi gh-quality North Atlantic cod, with a light beer batter (面糊)”.The Final Score Bar&GrillThe Final Score Bar&Grill aimed to become a local hot spot in 2001 when Jim Billings, the owner, took charge of the business. Billings feels that their five batter flavors set them apart from their neighboring bars. Besides, various wines are available.Point After Pub&GrillPoint After Pub&Grill started serving delicious food and cold beers in a welcoming environment in 2009. But its history runs much longer. “Before it was Point After Pub&Grill, it had been Northside Bar for 30 plus years,”explained Molski, the owner. Molski feels that the pub’s four special batter choices and other fish specials are what help make it an area landmark.Two Harps PubThis Irish pub opened its doors to the public in 2017 and has been drawing fans and locals ever since. “I had done my career for a long time and was kind of bored with it,” said Nick Moore, the owner. “And this opportunity fell into my lap, so I went with it. It really made sense to open up an Irish bar.” The grow ing pub advises guests to try a cold beer with their Friday fried fish.1. What makes Hilltop Pub&Grill popular with customers?A. The convenient location.B. The special food.C. The high-quality service.D. The unique wine.2. What do The Final Score Bar&Grill and Point After Pub&Grill have in common?A. They are both run by the same company.B. They are both famous for great wines.C. They both feature some particular batter.D. They were both founded ten years ago.3. What is special about Two Harps Pub?A. It is the newest among the four pubs.B. It offers free cold beers to customers.C. It only provides fried fish on Fridays.D. It has a unique decoration style.BEver since I graduated from high school I’ve worked in the factories surrounding my hometown every summer. However, making the transformation between school and full-time blue-collar work during the break never gets any easier. For a student like me who considers anyclass before noon to be unacceptable, getting to a factory by 6 o’clock each morning is suffering. My friends never seem to understand why I’m so relieved to be back at school or that my summer vacation has been anything but a vacation.There are few people as self-confident as a college student who has never been out in the real world. People of my age always seem to overestimate the value of their time and knowledge. In fact, all the classes did not prepare me for my battles with the machine I ran in the plant, which would jam whenever I absent-mindedly put in a part backward or upside down.The most stressful thing about blue-collar life is knowing your job could disappear over night. Issues like being laid off and overseas relocation had always seemed distant to me until my co-workers told me that the unit I was working in would shut down within six months and move to Mexico, where people would work for 60 cents an hour.After working 12-hour shifts (轮班) in a factory, the other options have become only too clear. “This job pays well, but it’s hell on the body,” said one co-worker. “Study hard and keep reading.”she added. When I’m back at the university, skipping classes and turning in lazy re-writes seems too irresponsible after seeing what I would be doing without school. All the advice and public-service announcements about the value of an education that used to sound stale (陈腐的) now ring true.My experiences in the factories have inspired me to make the most of my college years beforeI enter the real world for good.4. What does the author think of his summer holidayA. It was no holiday for him at all.B. It brought him nothing but suffering.C. It was a relief from his hard work at school.D. It offered him a chance to make more friends.5. What can we infer about most college studentsA. They do better in the real world.B. They are confident when they work.C. They think too highly of themselves.D. They are expert at handling machines.6. What is the biggest pressure for blue-collar workers?A. A low incomeB. The lack of securityC. An unstable locationD. Less break7. How did the working experiences change the authorA. He became responsible for his work.B. He learned to be more practical at work.C. He began to respect blue-collar workers.D. He came to appreciate his college education.CUS author Henry Rollins once wrote: “Loneliness adds beauty to life. It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better.” Indeed, in the eyes of artists, loneliness never seems to go out of style. There are paintings that portray loneliness, songs that are inspired by loneliness, and many works of literature that center around this theme.In the eyes of UK economist Rachel Reeves, however, loneliness is far from romantic. Instead, it’s a “giant evil” that’s become a serious problem in the country.So just how serious is it? On Jan 17, UK Prime Minister Theresa May appointed politician Tracey Crouch as the countr y’s very first “Minister for Loneliness”. Her job is to tackle (处理) the loneliness that the country’s been feeling—a problem which, according to UK government research, is affecting more than 9 million people in the country, and is more harmful to one’s ph ysical and mental health than smoking 15 cigarettes a day.And the problem hasn’t just appeared recently. Back in 2014, the UK was given the title of the “loneliness capital of Europe” by The Telegraph. A survey carried out by the newspaper found that British people were less likely to get to know their neighbors or build strong relationships with people than those from other European countries.“There is something about British wanting to deal with problems themselves,” Christian Guy, director of the Centre for Social Justice think-tank (智囊团), told The Telegraph.But this doesn’t mean that the problem only affects Britons. In fact, we’re all suffering from loneliness now more than ever, in spite of most of the world now having access to the Internet, which has enabled us to be more connected than ever.What we need, according to Kim Leadbetter, sister of the late UK politician Jo Cox, is to have “proper human connections”. “Our lives nowadays are so busy. We spend the vast majority of our time on our phones, on our laptops. We need to press pause on that and actually sit down and speak to human beings,” Leadbetter said at an event last year.But the first steps toward fighting this problem are to accept its existence and not be ashamed or intimidated (吓倒) by it. After all, without loneliness, many beautiful paintings, songs, and literary works wouldn’t even exist. And “evil” or not, being lonely is simply part of the experience of being human.8. What can we learn about the UK’s loneliness problem?A. The UK became the loneliest country in the world in 2014.B. More than half of British people suffer from loneliness.C. The government is working to solve the problem.D. British people communicate less with their neighbors than ever.9. According to the text, social loneliness _______.A. has become a problem worldwideB. didn’t attract the public’s attention until recentlyC. is mainly caused by the wide use of the InternetD. does more harm mentally than physically10. What does Leadbetter suggest doing to cope with loneliness?A. Making more phone calls to our friends.B. Stopping the use of electronic products.C. Interacting with the people around us face to face more often.D. Accepting its existence calmly.11. Which of the following would the author probably agree with?A. Loneliness is a giant evil of society.B. Only artists can appreciate the beauty of loneliness.C. It is hard to find a solution to social loneliness.D. Loneliness is just a normal part of our life.DWhen we look at a lovely baby, a puppy or a really cute kitten many of us want to squeeze it. Why is that?According to a study published in the journal Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, it’s a typical experience of “cute aggression”. The experience results from the fight between the brain’s “emotion system”, which impels (驱使) people to squeeze cute things, and its “reward system” which deals with feelings of “wanting”.In the study, 54 participants between the ages of 18 and 40 were presented with four groups of photos. Two of the groups of photos were of cute human babies and animals and the other two were of less adorable adult humans and animals. As the participants looked at the photos, there searchers watched their brain activities.According to the researchers, the participants reward systems were found to be active as they looked at the cute babies, and they seemed to be overwhelmed (征服的). By contrast, the reward systems of the people looking at the less cute adults were found to be inactive, and they seemed to be less impelled by their reward systems.This suggests that cute things activate their emotion systems in such a way that people are overwhelmed by the experience of cuteness. But reward systems work against these emotions by creating the desire to protect cute things.As Katherine Stavropoulos, the lead researcher of this study at the University of California in the US told Science Alert, “The cute aggression is the brain’s way of ‘bringing us back down’ by balancing our feelings of being overwhelmed.”Stavropoulos compared this process of balancing to an evolutionary adaptation. Such an adaptation may have taken place to ensure that people are able to continue taking care of creaturesthey consider particularly cute.So, although cute babies and adorable animals may look completely helpless, their vulnerable (易受伤害的) appearance may in fact help them to survive.12. According to the text, “cute aggression” refers to .A. the emotion of wanting to protect cute thingsB. the task of emotion system and reward systemC. the adaptation of consistently taking care of cute creaturesD. the behavior of squeezing a cute baby or animal when seeing it13. In nature, “cute aggression” is caused by .A. the need of the brain to balance all feelingsB. the photos of cute human babies and animalsC. the vulnerable appearance of babies or animalsD. the conflict between emotion system and reward system14. Which of the following statements about the study is TRUE?A. Facial expressions of the participants were observed.B. Katherine Stavropoulos conducted this study on her own.C. Cute babies and animals affected brain activities of all the participants.D. The participants were divided into two groups in order to make comparison.15. What is the author’s purpose in writing this text?A. To persuade readers to protect cute animals.B. To stress the significance of cute aggression.C. To present research findings on cute aggression.D. To share an interesting phenomenon with readers.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

How much money will they spend?A. 150 yuan.B. 100 yuan.C. 165 yuan.D. 120 yuan.CMy house is made out of wood, glass and stone. It is also made out of software.If you come to visit, you’ll probably be surprised when you come in. Someone will give you an electronic PIN(个人身份号码)to wear. This PIN tells the house who and where you are. The house uses this information to give you what you need. When it’s dark outside, the PIN turns on the lights nearest you, and then turns them off as you walk away from them. Music moves with you too. If the house knows your favorite music, it plays it. The music seems to be everywhere, but in fact other people in the house hear different music or no music. If you get a telephone call, only the nearest telephone rings.Of course, you are also able to tell the house if you want something. There is a home control console (控制台), a small machine that turns things on and off around you.The PIN and the console are new ideas, but they are in fact like many things we have today. If you want to go to a movie, you need a ticket. If I give you my car keys, you can use my car. The car works for you because you have the keys. My house works for you because you wear the PIN or hold the console.I believe that ten years from now, most new homes will have the sy stems that I’ve put in my house. The systems will probably be even bigger and better than the ones I’ve put in today.I like to try new ideas. I know that some of my ideas will work better than others. But I hope that one day I will stop thinking of these systems as new, and ask myself instead, “ How will I live without them?”64. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. How to develop a new system.B. The function of the PIN.C. A home for the future.D. Easy life in the future.65. What’s the purpose when the writer wrote the fourth paragraph?A. To let readers know why his ideas are new.B. To let readers know how special his house is.C. To explain the importance of the PIN and the console.D. To explain more easily what the functions of the PIN and the console are.66. The writer’s new house is different from ordinary ones mainly because________.A. it has been controlled by computersB. you can make a telephone call anywhereC. it has your favorite music following youD. the writer is able to change his new idea into practice67. What is the writer most likely to be according to the passage?A. An IT expert.B. A famous doctor.C. An idealistD. An experienced teacher.DCan a person make it rain? Many people believed that Charles Hatfield could. In the early 1900s, Mr. Hatfield traveled through the United States, Canada, and Mexico bringing rain to farms and cities that suffered from drought. For 30 years, people considered him the greatest rainmaker in North America. In order to make it rain, he used a secret mixture of chemicals that he placed high on wooden towers in special trays(盘). As the chemicals evaporated(蒸发), they attracted rain clouds to the area. Over his career, Mr. Hatfield even offered to help clear the fog from London and to water the Sahara Desert.One of Mr. Hatfield’s most amazing rainmaking accomplishments happened in southern California in 1916. Because he knew that the city of San Diego did not have enough water, Mr. Hatfield offered to give the city a hand with its water problem. He planned to create enough rain to fill the lake behind Morena Dam near the city. Since the time the dam was built, the lake had never been more than half full, but the lake could hold 57 billion liters of water if it were full. Filling the lake would help。

ASince it first opened after four years of construction in 1937 at a cost of $27 million, the Golden Gate Bridge has made its appearance in films and poetry.CNN Travel spent a day climbing into and around the bridge, learning these secrets from the people who know and love it best.Why is it called the Golden Gate Bridge? It’s not golden.“The Golden Gate Bridge gets its name because it spans what is called the Golden Gate Strait,” said Paolo Cosulich-Schwartz, spokesman for the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District, which operates the bridge. It’s a three-mile-long and one-mile-wide body of water that connects the Pacific Ocean to the San Francisco Bay.What color is the bridge? It looks red.“It’s not red, although you’re not crazy to think so. Visitors all call it red,” said Russell. “Back in the day, the US Navy, then part of the War Department, oversaw the waterways and wanted to paint this bridge black and yellow for high visibility,” said f ellow painter Jarrod Bauer. “They ended up mixing paint to create the color International Orange, which is similar to the color of red lead,” he said.Does the bridge get entirely painted every year?No, and it doesn’t need to be. It’s true that the top co at has been fully repainted over time with new and environmentally-improved International Orange top coats.Who performs bridge rescues?McV eigh and his fellow ironworkers, the so-called “Cowboys of the Sky”, have that responsibility. McVeigh has lost coun t of how many troubled souls he’s been called to rescue over the past 17 years.In September in 2018, the bridge started constructing a suicide (自杀) prevention system, also known as the safety net, to keep people from jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge. It’s expected to be completed in 2021.21. What’s the true color of the Golden Gate Bridge?A. Red.B. Red lead.C. Black and yellow.D. International Orange.22. Who can probably be called a hero on the Golden Gate Bridge?A. McV eigh.B. Jarrod Bauer.C. Russell.D. Paolo.23. What can we know about the Golden Gate Bridge?A. It is safer now because of the safety net.B. It got its name because of its color.C. It took much time and money to be built.D. It needs to be repainted once a year.BIf you were asked to imagine a scientist, what image would come to your mind? The idea that most of the kids have is a man wearing a white lab coat with messy hair, big glasses, and cups of colorful liquids giving off clouds of smoke. As for adults, the majority regard scientists as strange people who spend a lot of time working in a lonely lab. However, the reality is quite different.Recently I’ve had a chance to take part in a scientific experience far from my lab and into Costa Rica. It has a large amount of wildlife due to its geographical placement between North and South America. It is home to more than 500,000 species (物种), which represents nearly 4% of the species worldwide!First we worked to protect wildlife at a leatherback turtle (棱皮龟) protection center. We helped the volunteers to remove rubbish from the beach to create a safe environment for turtle eggs to come out. After that we stayed at Mount Arenal where we studied seismic (地壳的) activity relating to earthquakes. During our stay at Arenal, we rode over the mountainous areas and took a long walk through the rainforest. On the last day we got a professional introduction of rocket (火箭) science and learned about new rocket technology that will be used on the international space station.During my Costa Rica experience, I know that being a scientist doesn’t mean working in a lab all day and night. A scientist is the one who loves learning and getting a better understanding of the world from helping protect wildlife, learning about earthquakes or inventing rockets. I think that science is so much more than wearing a lab coat and mixing chemicals. Kids need to be aware of the excitement and adventures science can bring!24.

Why I Chose to Study ScienceCSam is a fourth-year student at Harvard Medical School, but poetry is still a big part of his life, now with a new teacher, Rafael Campo, wh o believes poetry can benefit every doctor’s education and work. Rafael is a physician, professor and a highly respected poet.“Poetry is in every encounter (邂逅) with my patients. I think healing is really in a very great way about p oetry. And if we do anything when we’re with our patients, we’re really immersing (使沉浸于) ourselves in their stories, really hearing their voices. And, certainly, that’s what a poem does,” he said.Rafael worries that something important has been lost in medicine and medical education today: humanity, which he finds in poetry. To end that, he leads a weekly reading and writing workshop for medical students and residents (住院医生).He thinks medical training focuses too much on distancing the doctor from his or her patients, and poems can help close that gap.Third-year resident Andrea Schwartz was one of the workshop regulars. She said, “I think there’s no other profession other than medi cine that produces as many writers as it does. And I think that is because there’s just so much power in doctors and patients interacting when patients are at their saddest.” Not everyone believes that’s what doctors should do, though.Rafael said, “I was afraid of how people might judge me, actually. In the medical profession, as many people know, we must always put the emergency first. But, you know, that kind of treatment, if it’s happening in the hospital, very regrettably, sadly, results in a bad outco me. The family is sitting by the bedside. The patient hasn’t survived the cancer. Don’t we still have a role as healers there?”In a poem titled “Health”, Rafael writes of the wish to live forever in a world made painless by our incurable joy. He says he will continue teaching students, helping patients and writingpoems, his own brand of medicine.28. What do we know about Rafael Campo?A. He works as a doctor.B. He is under medical care.C. He is a literature professor.D. He knows little about poetry.29. What does the author try to show in Paragraph 2?A. The importance of medical training.B. The effect of poetry in medical treatment.C.

It contributes to medical work.C. It has nothing to do with doctors.D. It keeps doctors away from patients.31. What is Rafael Campo’s view on poetry?A. It requires a lot of spare time.B. It can provide a useful tool for doctors.C. It has little effect on patients’ conditions.D. It should be included in emergency treatments.DConvincing someone to change their mind is really the process of convincing them to change their tribe (部落). If they abandon their beliefs, t hey run the risk of losing social ties. You can’t expect someone to change their mind if you take away their community too.The way to change people’s minds is to become friends wit h them, to combine them into your tribe, to bring them into your circle. Now, they can change their beliefs without the risk of being abandoned socially.The British philosopher Alain de Botton suggests that we simply share meals with those who disagree wi th us: “Sitting down at a table with a group of strangers has the incompara ble and odd benefit of making it a little more difficult to hate them without punishment. Prejudice and conflict between groups of people from different nations or races feed off abstraction. However, during a meal, something about handing dishes around, unfolding napkins (餐巾纸) at the same moment, even asking a stranger to pass the salt makes us less likely to hold the belief that the outsiders whowear unusual clothes and speak in distinctive accents deserve to be sent home or attacked. For all the large-scale political solutions which have been proposed to ease racial or cultural conflict, there are few more effective ways to promote tolerance between suspicious neighbours than to f orce them to eat supper together.”Perhaps it is not difference, but distance that produces tribalism and unfriendliness. As proximity increases, so does understanding. I am reminded of Abraham Lincoln’s quote, “I don’t like that man. I must get to know hi m better.” Facts don’t change our minds. Friendship does.The Japanese writ er Haruki Murakami once wrote, “Always remember that to argue, and win, is to break down the reality of the person you are arguing against. It is painful to lose your reality, so be kind, even if you are right.”When we are in the moment, we can easily forget that the goal is to connect with the other side, cooperate with them, befriend them, and integrate them into our tribe. We are so caught up in winning that we forget about conne cting. It’s easy to spend your energy labeling people rather than working with them.The word “kind (family and relatives)” originated from the word “kin (old fashion of family and relatives).” When you are kind to someone, it means you are treating them l ike family. This, I think, is a good method for actually changing someone’s mind. Develop a friendship. Share a meal. Gift a book. Be kind first, be right later.32.
