ALast year, I was on a plane with my friend, waiting for it to take off. The pilot’s voice was heard throughout the plane: “Sorry for the delay, ladies and gentlemen. Our engines don’t work. We are going to jump-start them. Once we get them going, we’ll get up in the air and see what happens.”That was all he said. “See what happens? Shouldn’t we have had a better plan than that?” At that point, I could only laugh nervously. One woman started crying: “Oh, no! We are going to crash!” There are sighs of desperation and anxiety, and we hadn’t even taken off yet.The pilot even seemed unhappy. He told us our one engine was working double time, and his plan was to get up in the air and see what happens! Then we did. We got up in the air, and what happened? Nothing. We arrived in Norfolk, and no sooner had the wheels touched down than applause burst out as everyone on the airplane breathed a sigh of relief.All too often, people stop achieving their goals just because they don't have a guaranteed result. But success will never be guaranteed. The best thing that you can do is to just get up in the air, and see what happens.If your aim is to build a business, then get up in the air and see what happens! Don't give yourself all the reasons why you can’t. Do not wait until you have everything you need. You never will.If your goal is to start a friendship, say “Hello”, get up in the air and see what happens! The results could be very rewarding. If your goal is to learn a new skill, get up in the air and see what happens! It might not be as difficult as you think. It could be fun!1. H ow did the author feel when the pilot said the engines didn’t work?A. DisappointedB. AnxiousC. CuriousD. Relieved2. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The passengers began crying after the plane took off.B. The engines often worked double time to get started.C. The pilot tried to comfort the nervous passengers.D. The passengers reached the destination safe and sound.3. The underlined sentences in the last paragraph means “______________”.A. think carefully before you make friends.B. start to fly the plane to see what will happen.C. make an effort even if the result is uncertain.D. get up from the chair and greet somebody.4. What can be the best title for the passage?A. We Will See What HappensB. I Survived an Adventurous FlightC. The Pilot Risked Our LivesD. Making Plans Is Better Than Taking ChancesBIt was a comfortable sunny Sunday. I was going to meet an old university friend I hadn't seen for years, and was really excited to hear all his news.My train was running a little late, but that was no big problem - I could text him to say I would be delayed. He would understand. But… where was my mobile phone?I had that familiar sinking feeling. Yes, I'd forgotten it at home.No mobile phone. I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling anxious, on edge and worried when I don't have my phone with me. In fact, I know I'm not alone: two-thirds of us experience ‘nomophobia’, the fear of being out of mobile phone contact. That's according to a study from 2012 which surveyed 1,000 people in the UK about their relationship with mobile phones.It says we check our mobile phones 34 times a day, that women are more ‘nomophobic’ than men, and that 18-24 year-olds are the most likely to suffer fear of being without their mobiles: 77% of them say they are unable to be apart from their phones for more than a few minutes.Do you have nomophobia ?• You never turn your phone off• You obsessively (着魔地) check for texts, missed calls and emails• You always take your phone to the bathroo m with you• You never let the battery run outIt's funny to think that around 20 years ago the only people with mobile phones would be businessperson carrying their large, plastic ‘bricks’. Of course, these days, mobile phones are everywhere. A UN study from this year said mobile phone subscriptions(订购;订阅) would outnumber(数量上压倒) people across the world by the end of 2014.And when there are more phones than people in the world, maybe it's time to ask who really is in charge? Are you in control of your phone, or does your phone control you?So, what happened with my university friend? When I arrived a few minutes late he just laughed and said: "You haven't changed at all – still always late!" And we had a great afternoon catching up, full of jokes and stories, with no interruptions and no nagging(唠叨的) desire to check my phone.Not having it with me felt strangely liberating(自由). Maybe I'll leave it at home on purpose next time.5. What does the passage talk about ?A. The history of mobiles.B. The story of meeting an old university friend.C. The addiction of playing mobile phone.D. The terrible feeling of being without their mobiles.6. The underlined phrase “on edge”in the third paragraph probably means_______.A. nervousB. energeticC. crazyD. surprised7. Which word is used to describe old mobile phones according to the passage?A. digital phoneB. cell phoneC. bricksD. smart phone8. According to the passage who is most likely to be addicted to mobiles ?A. A successful managerB. A 21-year-old girlC. A 21-year-old boyD. A lonely middle-aged personCWhen people introduce themselves, I always hear them say "I'm just a housewife".I don't understand why their introduction is always filled with regret and self - pity. Is it really a crime to be a housewife? Is it really embarrassing when you choose not to work outside and instead choose to work in your home?How could you be "just a housewife" when the basic social unit of society depends on you and your service? A housewife works for the longest hour, supporting your husband, child studies, caring for elders, managing finances, paying bills, grocery shopping, cooking according to individual taste, cleaning, etc. A housewife could be anyone: daughter, wife, mother, teacher, financial adviser, fashion designer and nurse, gardener, driver, cook, and so on. Don't think you are not being paid for it. You get the reward that no money can offer — the love and affection of your family, their trust in you, a happy home and your own satisfaction.It is you who choose to be in this occupation, willingly or for any other reason. After a busy day, all wait to return to the comfortable home set by you. They know you will be there to absorb all their stress and tiredness and relax them. Would the life have been the same had you been working outside to earn some money? Wouldyou along with your family have been able to buy all the content in life that you are enjoying now with that money?Respect yourself for what you are. Introduce yourself to the world with the same dignity. The world understands the importance of your job; it's time to make them accept it. Introduce yourself with pride and with twinkle in your eyes "I am a housewife". Kick that "just" out.9. How do people feel when they say "I'm just a housewife"?A. Satisfied.B. Proud.C. Regretful.D. Anxious.10. Listing the housewife's duties,the author implies a housewife______________.A. usually leads a terrible lifeB. plays a more important roleC. does not always get her rewardD. makes a great contribution to the family11. If a housewife worked outside,she would______________.A. have the same life like beforeB. set a comfortable home for her familyC. absorb her family's stressD. lose the content that she is enjoying12. What does the author advice housewives to do when they introduce themselves?A. Take care not make a mistake.B. Pick up self-confidence and pride.C. Understand the significance of their jobs.D. Try to make others understand their life.DTHE BOOKING NOTES OF THE PLAY THE AGE OF INNOCENCE:Price: $10BOOKINGThere are four easy ways to book seats for performance:------ In personThe Box Office is open Monday to Saturday, 10 a. m. -8 p. m.------ By telephoneRing 01324976 to reserve your tickets or to pay by credit card(Visa, MasterCard and Amex accepted)------ By postSimply complete the booking form and return it to Global Theatre Box Office.------ On lineComplete the on-line booking form at www.

AACADEMIC ACTIVITIES AND LEARNING TRIPSNACA (Native American Community Academy) involves students in academic activities and learning trips in order to strengthen the classroom learning experience. Some examples of our commitment to academic activities include:☆ Student DemonstrationsAt the end of every school year, NACA celebrates student learning and growth through Student Demonstrations. Each student chooses a project that reflects their best work and demonstrates it publicly for family and community members. Through this process students also practice the skills of giving a proper introduction, sharing content knowledge, making a personal connection, bettering their visual and oral presentation skills and interacting with their community.☆ Student CouncilStudent Council is a group of peer-elected representatives. They serve as leaders of their grade level and promote NACA Core Values. They model positive relationships among each other and staff. Student Council will facilitate school wide events to foster school spirit.☆ Potential Leaders Development Trip to Washington DCEvery summer, about thirty 8th grade students take part in a Potential Leaders Development. A trip to Washington DC is an important opportunity that promotes youth leadership for students while engaging them on a deeper academic level. It provides an experience-based understanding of the endless opportunities that higher education can provide and encourages the pursuit of academic success. Students who attend this trip are greatly impacted, long for completing their high school education in a more focused and determined manner and begin making plans for college. The trip also creates awareness of the significance of Washington DC/US government and importance of government to government relationships.1.What’s the aim of NACA trips?A. To equip students with social experience.B. To help students strengthen what they learn in class.C. To promote the awareness of protecting nature.D. To help students with learning difficulties to catch up.2.How does NACA celebrate the end of a school year?A. By organizing trips for students to Washington DC.B. By choosing model students for their good relationships.C. By getting students to present their best work publicly.D. By making personal connections with the community.3.What does the passage say about Trip to Washington DC?A. Its participants are future leaders of all fields.B. Its teachers are all experts at presentation skills.C. It sets models for students to socialize in real life.D. It aims to inspire students for higher education.BNow many young people are traveling around the world on their own, not because they have no one to travel with, but because they prefer to go alone.Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life. “It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.” Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen, it is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone. It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year. He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document his adventures. He says he wished he had traveled alone earlier. “The people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person,” said the 30-year-old man.Richardson describes traveling alone like “a shot in the arm”, which “makes you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything”. He said, “The feeling of having overcome something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I’m dealing with a difficult task. I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.”The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said, “Only by going alon e in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.”4.Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with?A. Traveling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.B. It is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries.C. It is comfortable to travel around without a friend.D. Traveling abroad helps people to find new things.5.Traveling alone is challenging because ________.A. you have to make things on your ownB. it is hard for you to prove yourself to othersC. you can only depend on yourself whatever happensD. it will finally build your character6.What can we infer about Chris Richardson?A. He started traveling alone at an early age. B. He was once shot in the arm. C. He used to work as a salesman. D. His website inspires others a lot. 7.What is the best title for the passage?A. Travel Abroad B. Travel Alone C. Travel Light D. Travel Wide and FarCWhat do you usually do to comfort your friends when they are feeling sad or depressed?You probably pat them on the back or shoulder,or maybe you give them a big,warm hug.We used to think that knowing when and how to comfort others was an ability that only humans have.But scientists have discovered that apes(猩猩)have this ability,too,according to a study published in the Journal of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.Two researchers from Emory University in Atlanta,US,went to an Ape Protection Centre in Congo to study bonobos(倭黑猩猩),which are closely related to humans.The researchers analyzed the bonobos' reactions after more than 370 cases of stressful situations,such as fights and losing temper,and found that some bonobos rushed to hug those that were screaming after being attacked,just like humans would have done.However,researchers noted that not all bonobos were capable of comforting others.In the protection centre,many bonobos are orphans whose mothers were killed by hunters.They were found to be more anxious in times of tension and have greater difficulty controlling their own emotions,making them worse at reaching out to help friends in need.“Orphans,who have not had the benefit of a mother helping them handling their emotions,are much worse at comforting others,”Professor Frans de Waal,one of the researchers,told The Telegraph.“Bonobos with moms were able to curb their negative emotional reactions more quickly.Therefore,they pay more attention to others.”This pattern mirrors the way that human children have been found to react.Those who seem more capable of handling their own emotions—for example,the ones who can calm themselves down more quickly after upsetting experiences—are usually better at expressing their concerns for others.8.The 5th paragraph is mainly developed by________.A. making comparisons B. following time orderC. giving examples D. presenting causes and effects9.The underlined word“curb”in the 6th paragraph probablymeans“________”.A. express B. observe C. hide D. control 10.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Orphan bonobos never give a hand to friends.B. There were 370 bonobos involved in the research.C. Moms play a significant role in handling kids' emotions.D. The ability to comfort others is unique to human beings.11.What's the main purpose of this passage?A. To provide better protection for Apes. B. To inform readers of a new study. C. To uncover the mystery of Apes. D. To compare human behaviors with Apes'.DA new course on world heritage and its conservation offers a good opportunity for the young people to learn about the legacy(遗产) of humanity and gain a sense of responsibility to help protect the planet we live on.According to a world heritage education programme jointly launched by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and China's Ministry of Education, the course will first be offered at several schools in Beijing before being included as a mandatory course (必修课) for high school studentsnationwide.The new course covers photos, slide shows and documentaries on the magnificence of the world heritage sites. The class aims to tell children what world heritage is and why and how it should be protected. A total of 177 nations, including China, have signed the Convention Concerning the Protection of World Cultural and Natural Heritage. Listed are 754 sites all over the world, of which 29 are in China—the third most after Spain and Italy. Currently, protection of the country's cultural and natural resources leaves much to be desired. Education is undoubtedly the best way to cultivate people's sense for protecting cultural and natural resources. The introduction of such a programme in Chinese classrooms will certainly help our young people realize the significance of common heritage, learning about world heritage sites, the history and traditions of different cultures, ecology, and the importance of protecting biological and cultural diversity.More importantly, it will help cultivate a sense of responsibility in the minds of young participants. This is critical in protecting these cultural and natural legacies, as well as our living environment and the limited resources for sustainable development.12.Which of the statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. The world heritage education programme was jointly launched by the United States and China's Ministry of Education.B. The course will first be offered at all the schools in Beijing.C. Protection of the country's cultural and natural resources has been perfect thanks to people's efforts.D. China ranks high among the countries with 29 sites listed on the list. 13.What can you expect to learn at the class?A. What world heritage is. B. Why we should protect world heritage. C. How world heritage should be protected. D. All of the above.14.The underlined word "cultivate" in the third paragraph probably means " ".A. distribute B. exploit C. develop D. improvise15.What's the purpose of the passage?A. To inform us of the reason for protecting the heritage.B. To tell us the way to protect the heritage.C. To tell us a new course.D. To tell us heritage preservation starts with education.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。

AFrom the modern London Eye to the historic Tower of London, below are London's most visited tourist attractions. Many of London's top attractions are free, making them affordable places to learn about some culture. Whether you prefer history or modern art, you'll find it at one of these must-visit spots.British MuseumThe world-famous British Museum exhibits the works of man from prehistoric to modern times, from around the world. The most interesting and exciting parts include the Rosetta Stone, the Parthenon sculptures (雕塑) and the mummies in the Ancient Egypt collection. Some exhibitions require tickets.National GalleryThe greatest and most beautiful building of Trafalgar Square, London's National Gallery is a vast space filled with Western European paintings from the 13th to the 19th centuries. In this impressive art gallery you can find works by masters such as Van Gogh, da Vinci, Botticelli, Constable, Renoir, Titian and Stubbs. Some exhibitions require tickets.Tate ModernSitting on the banks of the Thames is the Tate Modern, Britain's national museum of modern and contemporary (当代的) art. Its unique shape is due to it being a power station before. The gallery's restaurants offer wonderful views across the city. Some exhibitions require tickets.Coca-Cola London EyeThe Coca-Cola London Eye is a major feature of London's skyline. It has some of London's best views from its 32 capsules, each weighing 10 tonnes and holdingup to 25 people. Climb aboard for a breathtaking experience, with an unforgettable view of more than 55 of London's most famous landmarks — all in just 30 minutes!Madame TussaudsAt Madame Tussauds, you'll come face-to-face with some of the world's most famous faces. From Shakespeare to Lady Gaga you'll meet influential figures from show business, sport, politics and even royalty. Strike a pose with Usain Bolt, get close to One Direction or receive a once-in-a-lifetime audience with Her Majesty the Queen.1. What do the British Museum and the National Gallery have in common?A. Both have chargeable exhibitions.B. Both are on the banks of the Thames.C. Both have vast spaces and special shapes.D. Both exhibit modern and contemporary art.2. If visitors want to get a better view of London's famous landmarks, they should visit _____.A. the Tate ModernB. the British MuseumC. the National GalleryD. the Coca-Cola London Eye3. In Madame Tussauds, visitors can _____.A. enjoy Shakespeare's worksB. talk to some famous peopleC. watch Lady Gaga's performanceD. see figures of many influential peopleBNext month, about 30,000 runners will take to the streets of Boston, Massachusetts, for o ne of the world’s oldest and most famous races, the Boston Marathon. Nearly half the competitors in the 26.2-mile race will be women. But for most of the race’s 119-year history, only men were officially allowed to compete.A woman named Roberta “Bobbi” Gi bb helped change that in 1966, when she secretly ran the marathon and finished ahead of most of the men. “Word went out around the world that a woman had done the impossible,” says Gibb. “It changed the way men thought about women.”Gibb saw her first Boston Marathon in 1964, while running through her neighborhood. She was inspired to run the race herself. For nearly two years, Gibb trained to build the energy and strength she’d need to finish. But when she sent in an application for the 1966 race, it was turned down.At the time, the longest official races for women were only 1.5 miles. Many people didn’t think women were physically capable of running longer distances. Running a marathon was also seen as “unladylike.”But the 23-year-old Gibb refused to let go of her dream. She came up with a plan to run the race anyway. On April 19, she showed up at the marathon wearing her brother’s shorts and a sweatshirt to hide the fact that she was a woman.Gibb hid in the bushes near the starting line. When the race began, she jumped into the pack. Shortly into the race, Gibb took off her sweatshirt. To her surprise, the crowd cheered when they realized she was a woman. Gibb finished the race in 3 hours and 21 minutes — faster than two thirds of the male runners.Gibb opened the door for future female long-distance runners. In the years that followed, she and other women ran in the Boston Marathon, even though the rules still prohibited (禁止) women from running in the race. Finally, in 1972, the marathon was officially opened to women.4. The underlined part in Paragraph 2 probably refers to the thoughts that women couldn’t _____.A. win a long-distance raceB. take the place of menC. complete a marathonD. compete with men5. What happened to Gibb when she was found running the 1966 Boston Marathon?A. She ran back to the starting line.B. She got support from the crowd.C. She was driven away from the race.D. She took off her brother’s sweatshirt.6. Which of the following can best describe Gibb?A. Easy-going.B. Soft-hearted.C. Strong-willed.D. Open-minded.7. What’s probably the best title for the text?A. Leading a new lifeB. Running into historyC. Long-distance runnersD. The world’s oldest raceCFrom self-driving cars to carebots for elderly people, rapid development in technology has long represented a possible threat to many jobs normally performed by people. But experts now believe that almost 50 percent of occupations existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2025 as artificial intelligence continues to change businesses.“The next fifteen years will see a revolution in how we work, and a revolution will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces,” said Peter Andrew, Director of Workplace Strategy for CBRE Asia Pacific.A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative intelligence, social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligence.The report is based on interviews with 200 experts, business leaders and young people from Asia Pacific, Europe and North America. It shows that in the UStechnology already destroys more jobs than it creates.But the report states: “Losing occupations does not necessarily mean losing jobs —just changing what people do.” Growth in new jobs could occur as much, according to the research.“The growth of 20 to 40 person companies that have the speed and technological know-how will directly challenge big companies,” it states.A 2014 report by Pew Research found 52 percent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few years. The optimists pictured “a future in which robots do not take the place of more jobs than they create,” according to Aaron Smith, the report's co-author.“Techno logy will continue to affect jobs, but more jobs seem likely to be created. Although there have always been unemployed people, when we reached a few billion people there were billions of jobs. There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that wi ll not change,” Microsoft's Jonathan Grudin told researchers.8. We can infer from the text that in the future _____.A. people will face many difficultiesB. people will take up more creative jobsC. artificial intelligence will threaten people's livesD. most jobs will be done in traditional workplaces9. According to the report, _____.A. people won't necessarily lose jobsB. big companies will face fewer challengesC. small companies will win against big companiesD. most people will become interested in technology10. What is the attitude of most experts in artificial intelligence and robotics to the future?A. Mixed.B. Worried.C. Hopeful.D. Doubtful.11. Jonathan Grudin's words in the last paragraph suggest that _____.A. there will be enough jobs for peopleB. things will change a lot in a few yearsC. many people will become unemployedD. technology will totally change future jobs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。

AThere are thousands of products of all colors and shapes in a supermarket, making you believe that they are worth a try. How? Packaging is the silent but persuading salesman .There on the shelves, each bottle, can, box, and jar has been carefully designed and measured to speak to the inner self of the consumer, so that his buying not only a product but also his belief in life. Scientists have studied consumer behavior recently and found that the l ook of the package has a great effect on the “quality” of the product and on how well it sells, because “Consumers generally cannot tell between a product and its package. Many products are packages and many packages are products,” as Louis Cheskin, the first social scientist studying consumers’ feeling for packaging, noticed.Colors are one of the best tools in packaging. Studies of eye movement have shown that colors draw human attention quickly. Take V8 for example. For many years, the bright red color of tomatoes and carrots on the thin bottle makes you feel that it is very good for your body. And the word “green” today can keep food pri ces going up.Shapes are another attraction. Circles often suggest happiness and peacefulness, because these shapes are pleasing to both the eye and the heart. That’s why the round yellow M signs of McDonald’s are inviting to both young and old.This new consumer response (反应) to the colors and shapes of packages reminds producers and sellers that people buy to satisfy both body and soul.1. According to the passage, ________ seems to be able to persuade a consumer to buythe product.A. the pleasing color of the packageB. the special taste of the productC. the strange shape of the packageD. the belief in the product2. If a package or a product is round in shape, it can ________.A. bring excitement to the consumersB. attract the consumers’ atte ntionC. catch the eye movement of the consumersD. produce a happy and peaceful feeling3. “And the word ‘green’ today can keep food prices going up.” This sentence suggests that consumers today are ________.A. starting to notice the importance of new foodB. enjoying the beauty of nature more than beforeC. beginning to like green vegetablesD. paying more attention to their health4. It can be inferred from the passage that V8 is a kind of ________.A. vegetable dishB. healthy juiceC. iced drinkD. red vegetableBLying within, the inner London Borough of Southwark, this hugely improved non-selective Secondary Academy School is looking to recruit (招募) and appoint a talented Science Teacher in April 2016 or sooner.POSITION:Science Teacher | KS3 —5| All Science specialists welcomeDEPARTMENT:Popular & Ambitious Science DepartmentLOCATION:Borough of Southwark — Zone 2 — Inner LondonPERSON:Qualified Science Teacher requ ired —experience in UK or overseas trained START DATE:April 2016 or sooner — full time & permanent contract on offer SALARY:Inner London Pay Scale —£29,270 ~£37,862 a yearPERSON REQUIREMENT:All applicants will need to be suitably skilled, trained and qualified to be considered for this Science Teacher position.

The next moment, metal, flesh and bone were spreadingagainst the pavement in a thunderous crash. Another cyclist, biking carelessly, had cut me off and sent me supermanning toward oncoming traffic.As if to symbolize the accident that had hit my life, another disaster also occurred on April 14th, 2010. It cost the airline industry $l.7 billion. Ten million travelers were stuck for days. Economies all over the world were disturbed. This was the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull, one of Iceland’s many volcanoes.However, volcanoes are not all bad. In fact, they are necessary. They are responsible for the birth of new earth, and for the creation of rich soil. This eruption gave off 0.15 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere daily. But cancelling 48% of the world’s flight travel saved about 2.8 million tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere, temporarily decreasing our carbon footprint.Similarly, the accident had badly affected my emotion but it also allowed me to look more closely inside myself and discover things about myself I never would have realized. I learned how not to judge myself for my new limitations.In 1973, another Icelandic volcano, Eldfell, broke out. Icelanders decided to bomb it with cold water until it froze and chose a different path. After their plan worked, they used the geothermal (地热) energy for the next 15 years to heat their homes. A good example of life bringing lemons, and making lemonade! One must move on from misfortunes, focusing only on the present moment and being hopeful for the future.I ran from April 14th, 2010, to every kind of escape. Eventually I ended up in university for a new-found love in Earth sciences.8. What happened to the writer on April 14th, 2010?A. He was involved in a car crash.B. He was stuck in Iceland’s airport.C. He witnessed a volcanic eruption.D. He was badly injured on a bike ride.9. Which was an effect of the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull?A. Economy was cost globally by the eruption.B. Carbon dioxide was increased temporarily.C. Most of the world’s planes were h eld up.D. The earth in Ireland was terribly polluted10. Why did the writer mention the Eldfell volcano?A. It broke out in Iceland on April 14th as well.B. It symbolized the accident that changed his life.C. It told us to make the most of given situation.D. It encouraged him to know more about himself11. What is the best title for the passage?A. Escape from VolcanoesB. Inspiration from DisastersC. Love for Earth ScienceD. Attitude towards NatureDBillboard Music Awards of the Year of 2015 goes to Taylor Swift, a singer-songwriter, who has shaped and inspired the American music industry with her success.When Taylor Swift first came to public notice, she was a 17-year-old newcomer who loved singing to her own guitar. She was far more enthusiastic than skilled, but apparently threw spark of superb talent.Four years later, Swift has become a multi-awards winner, with the biggest selling albums. For her consummate performance, Taylor Swift was named Billboard magazine’s woman in 2011. She is the youngest artist to receive honors and several Billboard Music Award, among which Top Country Album for the five-time platinum(白金)selling Speak Now, her third album was released that year.“Taylor has shown the power of good songwriting with music of styles.” said Bill Werde, Billboard’s editorial director, “And at such a young age, Taylor has already made a major impact on music and has been an unbelievable role model for promising artists and young woman eve rywhere.”Swift is used to breaking chart records and winning honors since her career started. She followed that up in 2008 with Fearless, which established her as a skilled songwriter with several hits, including Love Story, You belong with me and White Horse.Not surprisingly, the 6-time platinum Fearless is the most awarded album in country music history in the US and her overall worldwide sales now reach 20 million albums and 40 million songs downloads. Swift has spent the past year on the SpeakNow Wor ld Tour in support of her third album, and now she’s getting ready to go further.According to a recent interview with The New Yorker magazine, Swift has so far written about 10 songs for a 2016 album. She said the new album is about feelings of growing up and becoming an adult.“They’re sad if I’m being honest.” Swift told The New Yorker. “They’re about my heartbreaks and my moving on. But more importantly, they are about achieving contentment. You’re not always going to be ridiculously happy as you grow up.”12. As a new comer in the show business, Taylor Swift was considered to be ________.A. a skilled songwriterB. an outstanding artistC. an energetic directorD. a promising talent13. The underlined word “consummate” in Paragraph 3 can best be replaced by ________.A. confidentB. professionalC. excellentD. different14. What can we learn from the passage?A. Speak Now is Taylor Swift third album.B. Fearless marked the beginning of Swi ft’s career.C. Swift’s new album is about feelings of grown-up.D. Swift has gained Billboard magazine’s woman twice.15.

AAlexis, 17, sat quietly in the passenger seat of her dad’s car. She let her eyes lazily scan the landscape for wildlife. Then a deer came into view about 200 yards in front of them. “Dad, there’s a deer there!” Alexis said. It was a male deer with sharp antlers (角) on each side of its head.As the car moved closer, Alexis saw that the deer’s head was bent toward the g round. Then she heard a scream and saw an arm fly up near the deer’s head. Alexis realized the deer was attacking a woman. Sue, a 44-year-old mother, had been out for her morning run. The deer followed her and edged closer. “I knew I was in trouble.” Sue says. She went to pick up a stick for self-defense, and the deer charged. It lifted her with its antlers and threw her into the air. Sue could feel blood flew down her leg. Within seconds, the deer had pushed her off the road.When Alexis and her father pulled up, the deer was throwing Sue like a doll. Alexis looked into the woman’s terrified eyes, and before her father had even stopped the car, the teenager jumped quickly out of the car and ran toward the deer. “I was kicking it to get its attention.’’ she says. Then her father, who had followed his daughter, pushed the deer away from the women.Alexis helped Sue into the car and then applied a piece of cloth to Sue’s injured leg. “We’re going to get you to a hospital.” Alexis said. Then she heard her father shout loudly. He had been knocked to the ground. Alexis took hold of a hammer from the car and ran to where her father lay on his back. She beat the deer’s head and neck, but the blows didn’t scare it away. “I was losing faith.” she says. “A couple more s trikes. Alexis.” said her father. “You can do it.”Turning the hammer around, Alexis closed her eyes and beat the deer’s neck with all her strength. When she opened her eyes, the deer was running away.Alexis got in the driver’s seat and sped toward the ne arest hospital.

Whether you prefer history or modern art, you'll find it at one of these must-visit spots.British MuseumThe world-famous British Museum exhibits the works of man from prehistoric to modern times, from around the world.

Some exhibitions require tickets.Tate ModernSitting on the banks of the Thames is the Tate Modern, Britain's national museum of modern and contemporary (当代的) art.

From Shakespeare to Lady Gaga you'll meet influential figures from show business, sport, politics and even royalty.

Both have chargeable exhibitions.B. Both are on the banks of the Thames.C. Both have vast spaces and special shapes.D. Both exhibit modern and contemporary art.2. If visitors want to get a better view of London's famous landmarks, they should visit _____.A. the Tate ModernB. the British MuseumC. the National GalleryD. the Coca-Cola London Eye3. In Madame Tussauds, visitors can _____.A. enjoy Shakespeare's worksB. talk to some famous peopleC. watch Lady Gaga's performanceD. see figures of many influential peopleBNext month, about 30,000 runners will take to the streets of Boston, Massachusetts, for one of the world’s oldest and most famous races, the Boston Marathon. Nearly half the competitors in the 26.2-mile race will be women. But for most of the race’s 119-year history, only men were officially allowed to compete.A woman named Roberta “Bobbi”Gibb helped change that in 1966, when she secretly ran the marathon and finished ahead of most of the men. “Word went out around the world that a woman had done the impossible,”says Gibb. “It changed the way men thought about women.”Gibb saw her first Boston Marathon in 1964, while running through her neighborhood. She was inspired to run the race herself. For nearly two years, Gibbtrained to build the energy and strength she’d need to finish. But when she sent in an application for the 1966 race, it was turned down.At the time, the longest official races for women were only 1.5 miles. Many people didn’t think women were physically capable of running longer distances. Running a marathon was also seen as “unladylike.”But the 23-year-old Gibb refused to let go of her dream. She came up with a plan to run the race anyway. On April 19, she showed up at the marathon wearing her brother’s shorts and a sweatshirt to hide the fact that she was a woman.Gibb hid in the bushes near the starting line. When the race began, she jumped into the pack. Shortly into the race, Gibb took off her sweatshirt. To her surprise, the crowd cheered when they realized she was a woman. Gibb finished the race in 3 hours and 21 minutes —faster than two thirds of the male runners.Gibb opened the door for future female long-distance runners. In the years that followed, she and other women ran in the Boston Marathon, even though the rules still prohibited (禁止) women from running in the race. Finally, in 1972, the marathon was officially opened to women.4. The underlined part in Paragraph 2 probably refers to the thoughts that women couldn’t _____.A. win a long-distance raceB. take the place of menC. complete a marathonD. compete with men5. What happened to Gibb when she was found running the 1966 Boston Marathon?A. She ran back to the starting line.B. She got support from the crowd.C. She was driven away from the race.D. She took off her brother’s sweatshirt.6. Which of the following can best describe Gibb?A. Easy-going.B. Soft-hearted.C. Strong-willed.D. Open-minded.7. What’s probably the best title for the text?A. Leading a new lifeB. Running into historyC. Long-distance runnersD. The world’s oldest raceCFrom self-driving cars to carebots for elderly people, rapid development in technology has long represented a possible threat to many jobs normally performed by people. But experts now believe that almost 50 percent ofoccupations existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2025 as artificial intelligence continues to change businesses.“The next fifteen years will see a revolution in how we work, and a revolution will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces,”said Peter Andrew, Director of Workplace Strategy for CBRE Asia Pacific.A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative intelligence, social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligence.The report is based on interviews with 200 experts, business leaders and young people from Asia Pacific, Europe and North America. It shows that in the UStechnology already destroys more jobs than it creates.But the report states: “Losing occupations does not necessarily mean losing jobs —just changing what people do.”Growth in new jobs could occur as much, according to the research.“The growth of 20 to 40 person companies that have the speed and technological know-how will directly challenge big companies,”it states.A 2014 report by Pew Research found 52 percent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few years. The optimists pictured “a future in which robots do not take the place of more jobs than they create,”according to Aaron Smith, the report's co-author.“Technology will continue to affect jobs, but more jobs seem likely to be created. Although there have always been unemployed people, when we reached afew billion people there were billions of jobs. There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change,”Microsoft's Jonathan Grudin told researchers.8. We can infer from the text that in the future _____.A. people will face many difficultiesB. people will take up more creative jobsC. artificial intelligence will threaten people's livesD. most jobs will be done in traditional workplaces9. According to the report, _____.A. people won't necessarily lose jobsB. big companies will face fewer challengesC. small companies will win against big companiesD. most people will become interested in technology10. What is the attitude of most experts in artificial intelligence and robotics to the future?A. Mixed.B. Worried.C. Hopeful.D. Doubtful.11. Jonathan Grudin's words in the last paragraph suggest that _____.A. there will be enough jobs for peopleB. things will change a lot in a few yearsC. many people will become unemployedD. technology will totally change future jobs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。

Safety lightsBLast year I ruined my summer vacation by bringing along a modern convenience that was too convenient for my own good: the iPad. Instead of looking at nature, I checked my email. Instead of paddling an small boat, I followed my Twitter feed (推特简讯). Instead of reading great novels, I stuck to reading four newspapers each morning. I was behaving as if I were still in the office. My body was on vacation but my head wasn’t.So this year I made up my mind to try something different; withdrawal (退出) from the Internet. Iknew it wouldn’t be easy, since I’m bad at self-control. But I was determined. I started by handing the iPad to my wife.The cell phone signal at our house was worse than in the past, making my attempts cheating an experience in frustration (沮丧). I was trapped, forced to go through with my plan. Largely cut off from email, Twitter and my favorite newspaper websites, I had few ways to connect to the world except for radio-and how much radio can one listen to, really I had no choice but to do what I had planned to all along: read books.This experience has had a happy ending. With determination and the strong support of my wife, I won in my vacation struggle against the Internet, realizing finally that it was I, not the iPad, that was the problem.I knew I had won when we passed a Starbucks and my wife asked if I wanted to stop to use the Wi-Fi. “Don’t need it,” I said.However, as we return to post -vacation life, a harder test begins: Can I continue when I’m back at work?There are times when the need to know what’s being said right now is great. And I have no intention of giving up my convenience completely. But I hope to resist the temptation (诱惑) to check my email every five minutes, which leads to checking my Twitter feed and a website or two.I think a vacation is supposed to help you reset your brain to become more productive. Here I hope this one worked.4. What do we know about the author’s last summer vacation?A. He was determined to enjoy the beautiful view.B. His iPad ruined his plan of finishing a great novel.C. He felt satisfied that he had stuck to his usual timetable.D. He hated himself for acting like he was at work while vacationing.5. What did the author do to keep away from the Internet this year?A. He handed his iPad to his wife.B. He cut off his cellphone signal.C. He refused to cheat in his house.D. He listened to the radio most of the time.6. When back at work, the author will probably choose to ____.A. stay away from the Internet for everB. continue to read more and more booksC. keep control of when and how to use the Internet.D. stop checking what is being said right now completely.7. What is the author’s opinion of a great vacation in the passage?A. A vacation is having nothing to do but read all day.B. A vacation proves that a life of pleasure is overrated.C. A vacation is a period of time to do whatever one wished to.D. A vacation means a change of pace to make one more creative.CMany of us lo ve July because it’s the month when nature’s berries and stone fruits are in abundance. These colourful and sweet jewels from British Columbia’s fields are little powerhouses of nutritional protection.Of the common berries, strawberries are highest in vitamin C, although, because of their seeds, raspberries contain a little more protein (蛋白质), iron and zinc (not that fruits have much protein). Blueberries are particularly high in antioxidants (抗氧化物质). The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into vitamin A and which are antioxidants. As for cherries (樱桃), they are so delicious who cares? However, they are rich in vitamin C.When combined with berries of slices of other fruits, frozen bananas make an excellent base for thick, cooling fruit shakes and low fat “ice cream”. For this purpose, select ripe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter. Remove the skin and place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze. If youlike, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown. Frozen bananas will last several weeks, depending on their ripeness and the temperature of the freezer.If you have a juicer, you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit. Out comes a “soft-serve” creamy dessert, to be eaten right away.

Back in 1983,two scientists,Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin,reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get. These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm.What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds,VOCs for short.Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked .It’s a plant’s way of crying out.But is anyone listening?Apparently.Because we can watch the neighbours react.Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away.But others do double duty .They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers.Once they arrive,the tables are turned .The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch.In study after study,it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors .The damage is usually more serious on the first plant,but the neighbors ,relatively speaking ,stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do.Does this mean that plants talk to each other? Scientists don’t know. Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in effect, was talking to itself. Perhaps the neighbors just happen ed to “overhear” the cry. So information was exchanged, but it wasn’t a true, intentional back and forth.Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more intimate(亲密的) than the world we can see and hear. Our senses are wea k. There’s a whole lot going on.12. What does a plant do when it is under attack?A. It makes noises.B. It gets help from other plants.C. It stands quietlyD.
