Could your weekend lie﹣in（睡懒觉） kill you? " asked the Daily mail． It is said in a study that sleeping more at weekends can increase the risk of heart disease． Since most of us change our sleep schedule depending on whether it’s a work or non﹣work day, it’s an interesting question． Is the lie﹣in really so dangerous? Researchers say that changing sleep patterns causes social jet lag． Is that even a thing?Changing our sleeping hours causes the effect of crossing a time zone﹣it makes us sleepy during the day． People who changed their sleep patterns were also more likely to gain weight during the study and more suited to going to bed and waking late because of the change of their biological clock． They were more at risk of these changes than earlier sleepers and risers． The study also shows an association between switching sleep patterns and changes in some blood results．It does not show that anyone’s developing heart disease was because they had lie﹣ins．Jim Horne, one of the professors of the Sleep Research Centre at Loughborough University, says the concept of social jet lag is likely to feed our anxiety about sleep, so we should really stop worrying so much and have a limited weekend lie﹣in． Worry is bad for sleep and we naturally compensate for not getting enough rest in the week by lying﹣in at weekends, so we shouldn’t stop ________． However, we should limit the time．Studies show that if you accumulate a five﹣hour sleep debt during the week, then you only need one and a half hours of extra sleep on your days off to make up for it． It wouldbe a shame to be scared of a lie﹣in． Studies of sleep and risk factors for heart disease can struggle to tell between poor sleep causing stress and stress disrupting sleep． Work stress can cause both a rise in blood pressure and changes in sleep patterns． Sleep is the test for the state of one’s health,and the most important thing that happens when you don’t get enough of it is that you feel sleepy．（1）What’s the probable effect of changing our sleep patterns？________A.Becoming unhealthy．B.Losing weight quickly．C.Easily adapting to time zones．D.Becoming early sleepers and risers．（2）What is Jim Horne’s attitude towards the weekend lie﹣in？________A.Negative．B.Doubtful．C.Unconcerned．D.Supportive．（3）What does the underlined phrase “doing it” in Paragraph 3 refer to？________A.Lying﹣in．B.Worrying．C.Sleeping early．pensating for the limit．（4）What can we infer from the text？________A.The sleep debt must be paid off completely．B.The weekend lie﹣in is a bad habit for all people．C.The more hours one sleeps， the healthier he will be．D.Poor sleep may result from and cause stress in turn．【答案】ADAD【考点】阅读理解综合【解析】本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了一项研究表明，周末多睡会增加患心脏病的风险．【解答】（1）A．细节理解题．根据文章People who changed their sleep patterns were also more likely to gain weight during the study and more suited to going to bed and waking late because of the change of their biological clock可知改变我们的睡眠模式可能变得不健康；故选A．（2）D．态度判断题．根据文章Jim Horne， one of the professors of the Sleep Research Centre at Loughborough University， says the concept of social jet lag is likely to feed our anxiety about sleep， so we should really stop worrying so much and have a limited weekend lie﹣in可知吉姆•霍恩对周末卧床的态度是支持的；故选D．（3）A．词义猜测题．根据文章Worry is bad for sleep and we naturally compensate for not getting enough rest in the week by lying﹣in at weekends，so we shouldn’t stop doingit可知担心对睡眠有害，我们自然会通过周末躺在床上来弥补一周没有得到足够的休息，所以我们不应该停止这样做；意为多睡；故选A．（4）D．推理判断题．根据文章Studies of sleep and risk factors for heart disease can struggle to tell between poor sleep causing stress and stress disrupting sleep可知从课文中可以推断出睡眠不足可能是由压力引起的；故选D．第二节（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．选项中有两项为多余选项．Over the course of my life， I come to realize we will have unpleasant feelings from time to time． Our loved ones will pass away， our friends and families will disappoint us， and the challenges of life will make us angry and frustrated．（1）_______ I have experienced a lot and find out some effective ways to help express our feelings．（2）_______ When expressing strong feelings， many people intend to start talking over the other person instead of listening to what he or she is saying． If you do so，you won’t have the possibility of clearing up any misunderstandings．Exercise to help deal with depression． Despite the commonly held belief that people needto let off their anger to help reduce its damaging effects， research indicates that this method is not helpful and can actually increase anger． However， exercise is very effective at relieving symptoms of sadness and anxiety．（3）_______Allow yourself to cry． Crying is viewed as a sign of weakness in some cultures．（4）_______Many people end up feeling better after crying， especially if they are in a secure environment around loved ones．Try

Walk through these canal streets or better — take a trip by renting a boat yourself. Another way to explore the Venice of the North is to take a ride on a bicycle. Any way you decide for—enjoy this city.The National Maritime MuseumThe Maritime Museum is an attractive place to visit, especially with children. With many attractions in it, this colourful and enjoyable museum will help you understand the history of the Netherlands—a small nation which was one of the world’s greatest sea powers.Amsterdam Brown CafeWhen you enter Amsterdam old cafes called Brown, at first it will seem too much from the past and too crowded, but the atmosphere is unique. Relax and watch— most of people around will be locals. Feel like oneof them — the real Amsterdammers.Civic Guards GalleryThis gallery is filled with old paintings from the Dutch Golden Age. The exhibited canvas may be not always the masterpieces of art, but these group portraits of Amsterdam citizens and their wives are an exquisite (精致的) document of the Dutch civilization and culture centuries ago.To avoid waiting lines we advise you to buy your tickets in advance online through our Amsterdam attractions and museums tickets webpage.21. How many ways are there for tourists to visit the city old centre?A. 2.B. 3.C. 4.D. 5.22. Where would you go to learn more about local life?A. Amsterdam canal ring.B. The National Maritime Museum.C. Amsterdam Brown Cafe.D. Civic Guards Gallery.23. Where does the passage probably come from?A. A fiction.B. A travel guide.C. A textbook.D. A science magazine.BDodder is an unusual and unwanted plant that attacks other plants. Except for its flowers, the plant looks like spaghetti, a kind of noodles in the shape of long thin pieces that look like string when they are cooked. Its almost leafless, thread-like stems (茎) hang down on top of other plants that dodder needs to stay alive. Dodder does not produce its own food. Instead, it steals food from other plants. It feeds by sucking juices from the plant which is wrapped around, often making its host very weak or even killing it.Dodder can find other plants by their smell. When a young dodder plant starts growing, it follows the smell of plants it prefers, like tomato plants, potato plants, or other farm crops. Unlike most plants that usually grow in the direction of light or warmth, a dodder plant will grow in the direction of, for example, tomato smell—if a tomato happens to be growing nearby.However, a young dodder plant must find a host plant quickly. It no longer needs its root once it is attached to the host and wrapped around it. If it cannot catch a smell of a potential host within a few days, it will dry up and disappear—even if there is plenty of water around. Once it finds a host, the young dodderplant will attach itself to it and start growing faster. At that point the dodder plant will drop its root.Dodder is thus a difficult weed to manage and a real headache for farmers. When it does get out of hand, dodder can greatly reduce a farmer’s harvest or even destroy crops completely. Before sowing their produce, especially farmers in warm parts of the world often check to make sure no unwanted dodder seeds have mixed with their crop seeds. This is a good way to stop dodder plants from making their way to a crop field secretly.24. Why does the author mention spaghetti in the first paragraph?A. To analyze the content of some food.B. To describe the shape of dodder plants.C. To explain where the dodder plants come from.D. To argue that dodder plants can be used.25. What will happen if a dodder plant starts growing where there are no other plants around?A. It will die sooner or later.B. It will grow deep roots.C. It will attract other plants.D. It will cover the entire area of soil.26. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Dodder does not produce its own food.B. Dodder can affect farmers’ income.C. Dodder can only survive in the shade.D. Dodder only grows in the warm areas.27. What is the main topic of the passage?A. A new variety of farm crops.B. Plants that are harmful to humans.C. The special abilities of a dangerous plant.D. Recent improvements in farming methods.CElectric devices can seem like a “third party” in some relationships because some partners spent more time on them than with each other.When Amanda Gao, a 26-year-old white collar worker in Beijing, went to a hotpot restaurant with herboyfriend on Friday night several weeks ago, she expected that they would have a good time together. To her disappointment, however, it did not turn out that later. As soon as they were led to their seats and she began to order dishes, he buried himself in his mobile phone.“It seemed that his phone was making its way between us. A date that should have belonged to us turned into one where my boyfriend dated a third party and I felt left out.” Gao said. Some people, like her, have found electronics have been sabotaging(破坏) their romantic relationships.A study, published in the journal Psychology of Popular Media Culture, in April, 2017, questioned nearly 200 college aged adults who were in committed(真诚的) relationships to report on their and their partner’s smartphone de pendency. The results showed people who were more dependent on their phones were less sure about their relationships, and people considered their partners excessively(过度地) dependent on their devices were less satisfied in their relationship.Lin Yuan, a relationship advisor in Beijing, noted that as more and more electronics come out and spice up people’s lives, they are at the same time becoming a third party in relationships, especially for young people.Lin said she knew of some people who suggest that electronics should be kept out of bedrooms, which she considered challenging and hard to be put into practice for most couples. She recommended that if people are feeling neglected in their relationship, they need to respectfully let their partners know their feeling. “Communication is always the best and the most efficient way.” she said.28. What is Gao’s feeling when entering the restaurant with her boyfriend?A. Expectant.B. Disappointed.C. Annoyed.D. Uneasy.29. Which of the following may Lin Yuan agree with?A. Gao’s boyfriend must be addicted to playing games.B. Most couples can practice keeping electronics out of bedrooms.C. Partners should communicate more to understand each other better.D. Couples should restrict the use of electronics to avoid possible problems.30. Why was the case of Amanda Gao mentioned?A. To explain who the “third party” is.B. To stress the importance of electronic devices.C. To make advisors know more about the matter.D. To introduce peoples’ dependence on e lectronics.31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. A third party—electronic devicesB. Are electronic devices killing romance?C. Do smart phones ruin partnership?D. Couples and smart phonesDTwo new studies suggest that modem running shoes could increase the risk of injuries to runners.One study involved sixty-eight healthy young women and men who ran at least twenty-four kilometers a week. The runners were observed on a treadmill machine (跑步机). Sometimes they wore running shoes. Other times they ran barefoot.Researchers from the JKM Technologies Company in Virginia, the University of Virginia and the University of Colorado did the study.They found that running shoes create more stress that could damage knees, hips and ankle joints than running barefoot. They observed that the effect was even greater than the effect reported earlier for walking in high heels.The study appeared in the official scientific journal of the American Academy of Physical Medicine.The other study appeared in the journal Nature. It compared runners in the United States and Kenya. The researchers were from Harvard University in Massachusetts, Moi University in Kenya and the University of Glasgow in Scotland.They divided the runners into three groups. One group had always run shoeless. Another group had always run with shoes. And the third group had changed to shoeless running.Runners who wear shoes usually come down heel first. That puts great force on the back of the foot. But the study found that barefoot runners generally land on the front or middle of their foot. That way they ease into their landing and avoid striking their heel.Harvard’s Daniel Lieberman led the study. He says the way most running shoes are designed may explain why those who wear them land on their heels. The heel of the shoe is bigger and heavier than other parts of the shoe, so it would seem more likely to come down first. Also, the heel generally has thick material under it to soften landings.But the researchers do not suggest that runners immediately start running barefoot. They say it takessome training. And there can be risks, like running when your feet are too cold to feel if you get injured.The study was partly supported by Vibram, which makes a kind of footwear that it says is like running barefoot. The findings have gotten a lot of attention. But the researchers say there are many problems in the way the press has reported in their paper. So they have tried to explain their findings on a Harvard Website.32. What can we learn from the passage?A. The way that we run by landing on the front or middle of our foot could avoid damaging our heel.B. We should start running barefoot in no time.C. Running in modem running shoes could have more serious effects than running in high heels.D. We won’t be injured if we run barefoot.33. How many organizations are involved in the two studies?A. Three.B. Four.C. Five.D. Six.34. How did the researchers do the two studies?A. By practising.B. By comparing.C. By questioning.D. By reasoning.35. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Walking in high heels could have fewer serious effects than running barefoot.B. Two new discoveries encourage people to run in high heels.C. Running in shoes is partly good to runners.D. Two new studies prove running without shoes is beneficial to runners in most cases.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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Without saying a word, as if they both understood that this was a secret they didn’t want to share with anyone, they slipped into the alley, where no one could see them loo inside "There's got to be a million dollars here! "Charlie blurted out, when they saw the pile of hundred- dollar bills. Amy, the more realistic of the two, did a quic estimate, thumbing through the wad of cash. "More lie thousands” she said, her voice shaing in disbelief.They'd found the wallet in a flowerbed by the sidewal, when Charlie dropped his cell phone while he was trying to tal and eat a slice of pepperoni pia at the same time. Amy stuffed the wallet into her bacpac and pulled Charlie along by his elbow toward her house. As they rushed toward Viceroy Avenue, they taled ecitedly about what they could do with themoney-buy gifts for parents and friends, get new clothes, travel to the rainforest in Costa Rica, and adopt a whale. It looed lie all of their dreams would come true. For the last bloc, however, they didn’t tal. Each began to suspect that the other one was silently adding to the list of things they could buy.They finally reached Amy s house, but instead of going inside, they waled around the house to the bac porch. They opened the wallet and counted the money into piles of ten. The total wasS2400- more money than either of them had ever seen. Then they both started taling at once. "I wonder who lost it "Their moods shifted, sining from the high of being rich for fifteen minutes to resigning themselves to what they must do net. For in the wallet's clear plastic compartment, there was a driver's license. They new what they had to do. Although they would lose their newly-found treasure, in a way, they felt relieved.24.

To buy many different things with the money.CAn article published in the prestigious scientific journal Nature sheds new light on an important, but up-to-now little appreciated, aspect of human evolution. In this article Professors Dennis Bramble and Daniel Lieberman suggest that being able to run was the necessary condition for the development of our species which enabled us to come down from the trees. This challenges traditional scientific thining, which claims that the distinctive,upright body form of modern humans has come about as a result of the ability to wal, and that running is simply a by-product of waling. Furthermore, humans have usually been regarded as poor runners compared to such animals as dogs, horses or deer. However, this is only true if we consider running at high speed, especially over short distances. But when it comes tolong-distance running, humans do astonishingly well. They can eep a steady pace for many ilometres, and their overall speed is at least the same as that of horses or dogs Bramble and Lieberman eamined 26 physical features found in humans. One of the most interesting of these is the nuchal ligament(项韧带). When we run, this ligament prevents our head from moving bac and forth or from side to side. Therefore, we are able to run with steady heads, held high. The nuchal ligament is not found in any other surviving primates, such as apes and moneys. Then there are our Achilles tendons (跟腱) at the bacs of our legs, which connect our calf muscles to our heel bones — and which have nothing to do with waling. When we run, these tendons behave lie springs, helping to push us forward. Furthermore, we have low, wide shoulders virtually disconnected from our sulls(颅骨), a physical development which allows us to run more efficiently.But what evolutionary advantage is gained from being good long-distance runners? Perhaps it permitted early humans to obtain food more effectively. "What these features and facts appear to be telling us is that running evolved in order for our direct ancestors to compete with other meat-eating animals for access to the protein needed to grow the big brains that we enjoy today," says Lieberman. Some scientists put forward the theory that early humans chased animals for great distances in order to ehaust them before illing them."Research on the history of humans' ability to move has traditionally been controversial, " says Lieberman. "At the very least, I believe this theory will motivate many researchers to reevaluate and further investigate how humans learned to run and wal and why we are built the way we are. "28. In paragraph 1, what do the two professors suggest about humans' ability to run?A. It is an evolutionary by-product of waling.B. It helps to form people's ability to climb trees.C. It has played an important role in human evolution.D. It has not been adequately studied by scientists before.29. What is true about the physical characteristics eamined by the professors?A. Achilles tendons assist people to wal long distances.B. The human sull helps people to run more efficiently.C. people's shoulders allow them to loo from side to side.D. The nuchal ligament enables people to hold their head steady.30. According to paragraph 3, scientists believe that early humans_________.A. always came across dangerous situations in lifeB. ran after animals for long distances when huntingC often failed to find food because they couldn't run fastD developed their hunting sills by running long distances31. Professor Lieberman thins the new theory will _________.A completely eplain how running developedB revolutionie the theory of human evolutionC. encourage more in-depth studies on the topicD. be widely supported within the scientific communityDScientists have solved the mystery of why theoverwhelming majority of mammoth fossils(化石)are male.Much lie wild elephants today, young male Ice Agemammoths probably travelled around alone and more oftengot themselves into risy situations where they were sweptinto rivers, or fell through ice or into mud, laes or sinholesthat preserved their bones for thousands of years, scientists say.Females, on the other hand, travelled in groups led by an older matriarch who new the landscape and directed her group away from danger."Without the benefit of living in a herd led by an eperienced female, male mammoths had a much higher ris of dying in natural traps such as mud holes, roc cracs and laes, "said co-author Love Dalen of the Swedish Museum of Natural History in a report published on Thursday in the journal Current Biology.The study used genetic data to determine the se of 98 woolly mammoth fossils in Siberia Researchers found that 69% of the samples were male, a heavily unbalanced se ratio, assuming that the sees were fairly even at birth"We were very surprised because there was no reason to epect a se bias in the fossil record," said first author Patricia Pecnerova, also of the Swedish Museum of Natural History.Therefore, researchers believe that something about the way they lived influenced the way they died.Most bones, tuss, and teeth from mammoths and other Ice Age animals haven't survived," eplained Dalen"It is highly liely that the remains that are found in Siberia these days have been preserved because they have been buried, and thus protected from weathering."These giant, tused plant eaters disappeared about 4,000 years ago. While there is no scientific agreement about the causes of their disappearance from the planet, most believe that climate change, ecessive hunting by humans and the spread of other animals into mammoth feeding grounds were influential factors.32. The underlined word "matriarch" in paragraph 3 means _______.A. figure headB. female leaderC eperienced animal D. mature mammoth33. Why do the majority of mammoth fossils come from male animals?A. Scientists find it easier to study male fossilised bones.B. There were more male mammoths in comparison to femalesC Male mammoths were better able to adapt to the changing circumstances.D. Male mammoths more frequently died in places where fossils could form.34. Which of the following is suggested as a reason for mammoths dying out?A. The increasing competition for food.B. The cooling of the earth's temperature.C. The disappearance of male mammoths.D The risy behaviour of younger mammoths.35. What is the tet type of the passage?A. A newspaper article.B.

different home each week and with the help of chef Matt Tebbutt offers top tips on how to reduce food waste，while preparing recipes for under £5 per family a day．And the Good Morning Britain presenter says she's been able to put a lot of what she's learnt into practice in her own home，preparing meals for sons，Sam，14，Finn，13，and Jack，11．"We love Mexican churros，so I buy them on my phone from my local Mexican takeaway restaurant，'' she explains，"I pay £5 for a portion（一份），but Matt makes them for 26p a portion，because they are flour，water，sugar and oil．Everybody can buy takeaway food，but sometimes we're not aware how cheaply we can make this food ourselves．"The eight﹣part series （系列节目），Save Money：Good Food，follows in the footsteps of ITV's Save Money：Good Health，which gave viewers advice on how to get value from the vast range of health products on the market．With food our biggest weekly household expense．Susanna and Matt spend time with a different family each week．In tonight's Easter special they come to the aid of a family in need of some delicious inspiration on a budget．The team transforms the family's long weekend of celebration with less expensive but still

thousands of years，but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going．When the world was still populated by hunter﹣gatherers，small，tightly knit （联系）groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other．Some language experts believe that 10，000 years ago，when the world had just five to ten million people，they spoke perhaps 12，000 languages between them．Soon afterwards，many of those people started settling down to become farmers，and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number．In recent centuries，trade，industrialisation，the development of the nation﹣state and the spread of universal compulsory education，especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades，all have caused many languages todisappear，and dominant languages such as English，Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over．At present，the world has about 6，800 languages．The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven．The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages，often spoken by many people，while hot，wet zones have lots，often spoken by small numbers．Europe has only around 200 languages；the Americas about 1，000；Africa 2，400；and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3，200，of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800．The median number （中位数）of speakers is a mere 6，000，which means that half the world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that．Already well over 400 of the total of 6，800 languages are close to extinction （消亡），with only a few elderly speakers left．Pick，at random，Busuu in Cameroon （eight remaining speakers），Chiapaneco in Mexico （150），Lipan Apache in the United States （two or three）or Wadjigu in Australia （one，with a question﹣mark）：none of these seems to have much chance of survival．（1）What can we infer about languages in hunter﹣gatherer times？A．They developed very fast．B．They were large in number．C．They had similar patterns．D．They were closely connected．（2）Which of the following best explains "dominant" underlined in paragraph 2？A．Complex．B．Advanced．C．Powerful．D．Modern．（3）How many languages are spoken by less than 6，000 people at present？A．About 6，800．B．About 3，400．C．About 2，400．D．About 1，200．（4）What is the main idea of the text？A．New languages will be created．B．People's lifestyles are reflected in languages．C．Human development results in fewer languages．D．Geography determines language evolution．14．（8.00分）DWe may think we're a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new，but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices （装置）well after they go out of style．That's bad news for the environment ﹣and our wallets ﹣as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things．To figure out how much power these devices are using，Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life ﹣from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device．This method provided a readout for how home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s．Devices were grouped by generation．Desktop computers，basic mobile phones，and box﹣set TVs defined 1992．Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997．And MP3 players，smart phones，and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002，before tablets and e﹣readers showed up in 2007．As we accumulated more devices，however，we didn't throw out our old ones．"The living﹣room television is replaced and gets planted in the kids' room，and suddenly one day，you have a TV in every room of the house，" said one researcher．The average number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992 to 13 in 2007．We're not just keeping these old devices﹣we continue to use them．According to the analysis of Babbitt's team，old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumptionand contribution to greenhouse gas emissions （排放）more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window．So what's the solution（解决方案）？The team's data only went up to 2007，but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function，such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing．They found that more on﹣demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%．（1）What does the author think of new devices？A．They are environment﹣friendly．B．They are no better than the old．C．They cost more to use at home．D．They go out of style quickly．（2）Why did Babbitt's team conduct the research？A．To reduce the cost of minerals．B．To test the life cycle of a product．C．To update consumers on new technology．D．To find out electricity consumption of the devices．（3）Which of the following uses the least energy？A．The box﹣set TV．B．The tablet．C．The LCD TV．D．The desktop computer．（4）What does the text suggest people do about old electronic devices？A．Stop using them．B．Take them apart．C．Upgrade them．D．Recycle them．第二节（毎小题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.选项中有两项为多余选项。

We have been volunteering at the shelter ever since. I was recently feeling the push to serve more, so I scheduled a Saturday visit.My daughter had social invitations, but she also felt the push to visit the shelter, so she planned to go there with her friends and me, later in the day instead. We piled up old blankets, sheets and pillows to take along and donate. On arriving and touring, we met 500 dogs and 200 cats being cared for at this shelter. After the tour we served meals to the puppies in the sick or injured puppy room. We held and comforted those who would clearly survive their injuries and several who were so sick that the volunteer vet on hand said they had a 50% chance of being alive next week. Then we fed two sick and abandoned young kittens.While feeding the animals I watched the workers who were cleaning out some of the dog houses with healthy dogs who would be returned to the streets. I was touched most by how often they stopped in their duty to pet and play with these dogs. They did it with such love. While some workers and volunteers were paid, others were paid nothing to support these animals.My daughter and I stayed for 4-5 hours, beyond the time she had scheduled to meet friends for lunch. She chose to cancel her social date and spend more time with these animals despite the tough conditions. Tired and dirty, we felt blessed to share some time with people who care deeply forrelieving the suffering of so many vulnerable beings. And then we went back.

There are four US universities in the top 10, with three from France, two from Japan and one from South Korea. The highest ranked UK university is Oxford in 21st place.This league table, described as the Alma Mater Index, shows which universities around the world taught the bosses of some of the world’s biggest companies. One in 20 had a degree from a single institution, Harvard. This included Margaret C. Whitman of Hewlett-Packard, Jeffrey R. Immelt of General Electric and Vittorio Colao of Vodafone.But the top 10 for producing business leaders does not contain all the usual names that appear at the top of university rankings. Oxford and Cambridge are absent, but the University of Pennsylvania in the US and Keio University in Japan are included, along with three French universities, headed by the Ecole Polytechnique.Across the top 100, universities from the US dominate, followed by universities in China, Japan, France and Germany. There are more CEOs who went to university in Asia than in Europe. In terms of national comparisons, UK universities produced the sixth highest number of global chief executives, with Oxford in 21st place and Cambridge in 45th place.But even though Harvard might have taught the biggest number of bosses from the top 500 companies, it was not attended by any of the heads of the biggest 10 companies, who were from a more diverse range of universities.Royal Dutch Shell is headed by a graduate of Zurich University of Applied Sciences; Walmart is headed by a student of Georgia Tech and Exxon Mobil has a chief executive from the University of Texas, Austin. Three of the leaders of these biggest companies went to university in China and the head of Volkswagen went to university in Stuttgart.28. How many Asian universities are among the world’s top 10 universities for global CEOs?A. OneB. TwoC. ThreeD. Four29. What does the underlined word "dominate" in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A. Decrease.B. Accelerate.C. T ake the lead.D. Make great progress.30. What can we learn about the UK universities?A. Cambridge University ranks highest among them.B. None of them are among the top 10 list of the survey.C. They performed better than French universities on the list.D. They produced the second most number of global CEOs.31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. The Rankings of the Famous Universities in the WorldB. Which Is Described as the best University in the world?C. Students Are Currently Entering Various top-class Universities.D. Which University Tops the League T able of Where Bosses Studied?DCould your weekend lie-in(睡懒觉) kill you?”asked the Daily mail. It is said in a study that sleeping more at weekends can increase the risk of heart disease. Since most of us change our sleep schedule depending on whether it's a work or non-work day, it's an interesting question. Is the lie-in really so dangerous? Researchers say that changing sleep patterns causes social jet lag. Is that even a thing?Changing our sleeping hours causes the effect of crossing a time zone-it makes us sleepy during the day. People who changed their sleep patterns were also more likely to gain weight during thestudy and more suited to going to bed and waking late because of the change of their biological clock. They were more at risk of these changes than earlier sleepers and risers. The study also shows an association between switching sleep patterns and changes in some blood results. It does not show that anyone's developing heart disease was because they had lie-ins.Jim Horne, one of the professors of the Sleep Research Centre at Loughborough University, says the concept of social jet lag is likely to feed our anxiety about sleep, so we should really stop worrying so much and have a limited weekend lie-in. Worry is bad for sleep and we naturally compensate for not getting enough rest in the week by lying-in at weekends, so we shouldn't stop doing it. However, we should limit the time.Studies show that if you accumulate a five-hour sleep debt during the week, then you only need one and a half hours of extra sleep on your days off to make up for it. It would be a shame to be scared of a lie-in. Studies of sleep and risk factors for heart disease can struggle to tell between poor sleep causing stress and stress disrupting sleep. Work stress can cause both a rise in blood pressure and changes in sleep patterns. Sleep is the test for the state of one's health, and the most important thing that happens when you don't get enough of it is that you feel sleepy.32. What's the probable effect of changing our sleep patterns?A. Becoming unhealthy.B. Losing weight quickly.C. Easily adapting to time zones.D. Becoming early sleepers and risers.33. What is Jim Horne's attitude towards the weekend lie-in?A. Negative.B. Doubtful.C. Unconcerned.D. Supportive.34. What does the underlined phrase "doing it" in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Lying-in.B. Worrying.C. Sleeping early.D. Compensating for the limit.35. What can we infer from the text?A. The sleep debt must be paid off completely.B. The weekend lie-in is a bad habit for all people.C.

local Mexican takeaway restaurant，'' she explains，"I pay £5 for a portion（一份），but Matt makes them for 26p a portion，because they are flour，water，sugar and oil．Everybody can buy takeaway food，but

thousands of years，but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going．When the world was still populated by hunter﹣gatherers，small，tightly knit （联系）groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other．Some language experts believe that 10，000 years ago，when the world had just five to ten million people，they spoke perhaps 12，000 languages between them．Soon afterwards，many of those people started settling down to become farmers，and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number．In recent centuries，trade，industrialisation，the development of the nation﹣state and the spread of universal compulsory education，especially globalisation andbetter communications in the past few decades，all have caused many languages to disappear，and dominant languages such as English，Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over．At present，the world has about 6，800 languages．The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven．The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages，often spoken by many people，while hot，wet zones have lots，often spoken by small numbers．Europe has only around 200 languages；the Americas about 1，000；Africa 2，400；and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3，200，of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800．The median number （中位数）of speakers is a mere 6，000，which means that half the world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that．Already well over 400 of the total of 6，800 languages are close to extinction （消亡），with only a few elderly speakers left．Pick，at random，Busuu in Cameroon （eight remaining speakers），Chiapaneco in Mexico （150），Lipan Apache in the United States （two or three）or Wadjigu in Australia （one，with a question﹣mark）：none of these seems to have much chance of survival．（1）What can we infer about languages in hunter﹣gatherer times？A．They developed very fast．B．They were large in number．C．They had similar patterns．D．They were closely connected．（2）Which of the following best explains "dominant" underlined in paragraph 2？A．Complex．B．Advanced．C．Powerful．D．Modern．（3）How many languages are spoken by less than 6，000 people at present？A．About 6，800．B．About 3，400．C．About 2，400．D．About 1，200．（4）What is the main idea of the text？A．New languages will be created．B．People's lifestyles are reflected in languages．C．Human development results in fewer languages．D．Geography determines language evolution．14．（8.00分）DWe may think we're a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new，but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices （装置）well after they go out of style．That's bad news for the environment ﹣and our wallets ﹣as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things．To figure out how much power these devices are using，Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life ﹣from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device．This method provided a readout for how home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s．Devices were grouped by generation．Desktop computers，basic mobile phones，and box﹣set TVs defined 1992．Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997．And MP3 players，smart phones，and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002，before tablets and e﹣readers showed up in 2007．As we accumulated more devices，however，we didn't throw out our old ones．"The living﹣room television is replaced and gets planted in the kids' room，and suddenly one day，you have a TV in every room of the house，" said one researcher．The average number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992 to 13 in 2007．We're not just keeping these old devices﹣we continue touse them．According to the analysis of Babbitt's team，old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions （排放）more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window．So what's the solution（解决方案）？The team's data only went up to 2007，but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function，such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing．They found that more on﹣demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%．（1）What does the author think of new devices？A．They are environment﹣friendly．B．They are no better than the old．C．They cost more to use at home．D．They go out of style quickly．（2）Why did Babbitt's team conduct the research？A．To reduce the cost of minerals．B．To test the life cycle of a product．C．To update consumers on new technology．D．To find out electricity consumption of the devices．（3）Which of the following uses the least energy？A．The box﹣set TV．B．The tablet．C．The LCD TV．D．The desktop computer．（4）What does the text suggest people do about old electronic devices？A．Stop using them．B．Take them apart．C．Upgrade them．D．Recycle them．第二节（毎小题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.选项中有两项为多余选项。
