As a young man, he had the alternative of working in the city with his brother. But he decided that urban life was not for him. He preferred to isolate himself from others and find shelter in nature from the crowds and noise of the city. He was more than willing to give up such advantages as flush toilets and electric blankets for the joy of watching a sunrise illuminate the frozen pines.Because Nate had lived alone for so long, his behavior was unpredictable. For example, one minute he’d be very quiet, and the next he’d talk about his youth. His knowledge of nature was extensive, and so I learned much from him through the years.I will tell you an interesting story that shows how wise he was about the woods and how miserly (吝啬的) he could be with words. One evening Nate, my cousin Arthur, and I were crossing a grassland. Arthur’s interest in some little white mushrooms that were growing there led to this dialogue:“These mushrooms look so good,” said Arthur. “Did you ever use them, Nate?”“Yep,” said Nate. “My mom used to cook them up.”“Great!” said Arthur. Nate’s words seemed to strengthen Arthur s desire for those mushrooms. He gathered about a hundred of them. “How did she prepare them?” he asked Nate.“Cooked them up in sugar water.”“Really? And then you ate them that way?”“Ate them?” Nate was horrified. “You crazy? We used to put them in a bowl on the table to kill flies!”4．Which can make Nate happier?A．Working in the city.B．Quitting flush toilets.C．Using electric blankets.D．Enjoying sunrises in the woods.5．Nate is a man with ________.A．ambition B．courage C．knowledge D．imagination 6．What do we know about the white mushrooms?A．They were delicious.B．Nate ate them very often.C．They might be poisonous.D．Arthur’s mother used to cook them.7．What would be the best title for the passage?A．Far From NatureB．White Mushrooms C．Nate the WoodsmanD．Advantages of Urban LifeOver the next 20 years, we are going to send more and better robots to Mars. Those robots will send back better pictures, maps, samples, and weather reports. There is a limit to what robots can tell us, though, so eventually we will have to send people to study the planet. Before people can visit Mars, we need to invent a ceship that can take us there. Mars is very far away. Depending on where Mars and Earth are in their orbits (轨道) around the sun, it could take between six months to a year to get there.The moon is much closer, and we were there, 25 years ago. Over the next 10 years, we are going to work on building a new cecraft that can go to the moon. Using this craft, we will practise the skills we need to go to Mars.Once we get to the moon, we are going to build a station so that people can live and work on the moon for months at a time. This is important so that we have a place to start from when we want to visit Mars, but it is also important because it gives us practice with living away from Earth.By the time you are old enough to be an astronaut, we will have people spending months on the moon. By the time you are old enough to be a commander of a ce mission we will be taking trips to Mars. By the time your kids are old enough to be astronauts, we may have people living on Mars. Wouldn’t it be cool to get a postcard from someone who was building a house on Mars? Wouldn’t it be cooler if it was you who sent the postcard?8．We eventually have to send people to Mars because_________.A．the pictures that robots have sent back are not very clearB．robots can’t tell us all we want to knowC．robots are controlled by us humansD．the samples robots have sent back are not good enough9．From the first paragraph we can see the distance between Earth and Mars________ .A．is not always the sameB．is nearly the sameC．is unchangeableD．never changes very much10．A ce station on the moon is important because________ .A．people can learn to adapt to living on other planetsB．people can practise planting crops in itC．the new cecraft can only land in itD．astronauts can practise skills they need to go to Mars11．The author of the passage________.A．thinks that trips to the moon are an unrealistic dreamB．encourages kids to be astronautsC．hopes to receive a postcard from MarsD．is sure people’s dream of living on Mars will come trueThe situation of the world’s plants is not good. One fifth of the kinds of plants are in danger of disappearing, according to a report.“Plants are very vital to human beings,” said Kathy Willis, who led the new report. “Plants provide us with everything—food, fuel, and medicine, and they are very important for our climate controlling. Without plants we would not be here.”In Dong Qiang's opinion, a professor at Peking University, Modiano has been a celebrated writer in France ever since.Nobel, since it was only six years ago that another French writer, Le Clezio, took the prize.Born in a western Paris suburb in July 1945—two months after World War Europe—Modiano spenFrance.Raymondlife in France and studied in Paris, the top preparatoryIn the first interview Modiano gave after winning the Nobel, he explained that writing for him was a natural thing that he started quite young, “ 18 ”1968.Modianopublished about 30 works, including novels, film scripts and children's books, since his first book, La Place de l′ toile, in 1968.Modiano's works focus on the occupation of France during World War Ⅱ.19Jin Longge, who has translated three books by Modiano into Chinese, says, “ 20 But they are not detective novels, because the answers to the riddles set out in his novels usually remain untold and the reader is left to find his own answers.”A．He had a major influence on him.B．His works read like detective novels.C．It was not a surprise that he won the prize.D．It's something that's been part of my life.E．They will be published in the coming months.F．They invite the reader to seek identity through memory and history.G．Many of his readers came to know of him and started to read his works.三、完形填空（本大题共1小题）Tim, a blind and deaf man, boarded a six-hour flight, travelling from Boston to Los Angeles by himself.

AIt’s currently December and Christmas is almost here. And what better way to spend time with your loved ones than sitting down to watch some classic Christmas movies? Listed below are four films that will make you laugh, cry or both this festive season.The Grinch（2000）This is a Christmas must-watch and one of Jim Carrey’s best performances. It was also originally a children’s book written by Dr Seuss, which I would recommend reading! It’s the story of a green monster who wants to ruin Christmas, but who in the end discovers the power of love and generosity. I promise it’s a great film with plenty of laughs along the way.Love Actually（2003）While this is not a personal favourite of mine, people in the UK absolutely love this film. It has a number of stars, featuring actors and actresses such as Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson and Alan Rickman. It might be a little difficult to follow as there are lots of different sub-plots, so I recommend watching a dubbed version（配音版）in your native language.Home Alone（1990）This film is one of my favourite films of all time and I would watch it all year round if I could. It tells the story of a boy, Kevin, who is left alone in his house when his large family forget to take him on vacation with them. While the family are away, burglars（小偷）try to rob the house and Kevin must protect his home by setting traps. The trips, falls and traps will have you laughing out loud as you watch a 10-year old boy outsmart two grown men.Miracle on 34th Street（1994）You can’t have Christmas in an English-speaking country without watching this film. It’s not funny like Home Alone or The Grinch, but it is incredibly touching. It’s about a man who claims to be Santa, but nobody believes him except a lawyer and a little girl.1．In which film can you see Jim Carrey’s wonderful performance?A．The Grinch.B．Love Actually.C．Home Alone.D．Miracle on 34th Street.2．What can we know about Love Actually?A．It’s one of the author’s favorite films.B．We’d better watch a dubbed version.C．It’s a film about the power of love and generosity.D．Some handkerchief papers are necessary when we watch it.3．What do the film The Grinch and Home Alone have in common?A．They are very touching.B．They are only fit for children.C．They are funny and make people laugh a lot.D．They are popular and tell a story about kids.BWe’ve all been told that different types of fruits and vegetables have different benefits that help us maintain our health.A new international study has found that eating one fruit regularly can help reduce the risk of cancer, among those people who have a high risk of developing certain cancers.The research which followed almost 1000 patients with Lynch syndrome-a genetic condition that makes people predisposed to orange of cancers found that a regular intake of resistant starch(抗酶解淀粉)could have a major preventative effect on the risk of cancer. Here’s what you need to know about how eating bananas can help reduce risk of cancer.Resistant starch is a type of carbohydrate(碳水化合物)which feeds beneficial gut bacteria. It is found in green bananas. By eating green bananas your body gets a regular dose of resistant starch, which has been found to reduce risk of cancers in some parts of the body by more than half, according to the new research. The study, which was published in Cancer Prevention Research, was led by experts at the Universities of Newcastle and Leeds. It found that resistant starch, if taken regularly for an average of two years, had a positive effect on some cancers, which can be difficult to detect.John Mather, a professor at Newcastle University explained:“Resistant starch acts in effect, like dietary fibre in your digestive system. This type of starch has several health benefits and fewer calories than regular starch.”Besides green bananas, resistant starch is also found in foods such as peas, oats, cereal, beans and other starchy foods. You can also take resistant starch as a powder supplement.In terms of bananas, experts recommend that eating one banana daily is the equivalent of one dose of resistant starch. The trick is to eat the bananas before they become too ripe or soft.4．Which of the following can prevent the risk of cancer?A．Carbohydrate.B．resistant starch.C．dietary fibre.D．gut bacteria.5．What did the new research find?A．Eating green bananas regularly could serve as a power supplement.B．Eating green bananas regularly could reduce risk of cancers.C．Eating bananas regularly could improve life expectancy.D．Green bananas would have fewer calories.6．What aspect does John Mather’ s research probably focus on?A．human nutrition.B．plants formation.C．herbal medicine.D．weight control.7．According to the text what would the experts suggest people do?A．Take more green bananas.B．Reduce calories and dietary fibre.C．Keep regular intake of resistant starch.D．Detect hidden cancers earlier.CSeth Magle is an urban ecologist in Chicago. In 2021, he started building a network of fellow urban animal lovers from around the world. They’re working to collect information so that it can be compared in different cities.With the goal of trying to create more wildlife inclusive cities, the network helps reduce human wildlife conflict and increase human wildlife coexistence in the massively urbanizing areas.In Chicago, Magle and his team have been watching their city’s wildlife for about 10 years. All together, they have over 100 camera traps set up across different types of urban environments from the downtown Loop and city parks to nature preserves and suburb golf courses.During times of recent extreme heat, we do definitely see animals reduce movement and just stay where they are. It’s probably energetically difficult to move around when it’s so hot. Although this works for a short term in high temperature, it’s not ideal over a longer period because it means less time to search for food or a new mate.As Magle and his network of urban researchers look toward the future and climate change, they predict bigger shifts. Temperatures everywhere are projected to warm, so wildlife in urban settings and beyond will likely have to shift their normal regions a bit further north to where it feels more comfortable and to what they’re already used to. We don’t have armadillos in Chicago, but we have them in the southern part of the state. And they seem to be migrating north.Only time will tell how our urban wildlife reacts to these longer-term shifts in temperature.For now, it sounds like urban animals — so long as they’re healthy — are totally capable of handling a few days of extreme heat here and there.8．What is the aim of the network?A．To observe wildlife in different cities.B．To compare animals’ living conditions.C．To collect information of urban animals.D．To help human and wildlife coexist.9．What’s the main idea of paragraph 3?A．The tracks of wildlife activities.B．The movement of urban animals.C．The way of watching city animals.D．The different types of urbanization.10．In what way do animals escape extreme heat?A．Keeping still.B．Moving constantly.C．Shifting to the north.D．Looking for food everywhere.11．What is the text probably taken from?A．A market report.B．A science magazine.C．A biological textbook.D．A social research report.DGravy started working as a comfort dog at Grand Ledge High School in Michigan in September. She showed off tricks in the hallways with her handler (驯兽员), Capra, and made students laugh aloud. When students learned that Gravy’s first birthday fell just before Thanksgiving break, they asked Capra if they could throw a party. Capra said sure, thinking there wouldn’t be many people interested. However, on the big day, there were several hundred students in this gym.The pandemic (大流行病) has been hard on students across the United States. Many young people experienced loneliness and the loss of loved ones. To solve the problem, schools have hired social workers and increased the number of their social-emotional learning classes.In some cases, they bought dogs.Undoubtedly, the dogs make kids happy.“He’s kind of like a rock star; when the kids see him coming, they smile,“ said Traci Souva, an art teacher at North Huron Schools who trains Chipper, another comfort dog. “A lot of times the kids will tell Chipper what’s wrong rather than adults, and that’s pretty amazing.”There are possible blemishes of having dogs in school. These include cleanliness, and student fears. But school officials say these are all manageable. The dogs are highly trained and always with a handler, so no student is forced to communicate with the dogs if they don’t want to.Since the pandemic, demand for trained dogs in schools“has just increased,“ said Nikki Brown, a dog trainer and the director of Canines for Change, a nonprofit that trains dogs for work in schools. Over the last year, her organization has provided dogs to at least seven areas in Michigan, including Grand Ledge. “The dogs are highly trained to be in a school environment,” she added.“They are trained to work with kids with emotional problems. They sense stress. By the dogs’ behaviour they might warn a teacher of a kid who is struggling emotionally.“12．Which of the following best describes Gravy as a comfort dog?A．Tricky.B．Popular.C．Humorous.D．Caring.13．What does the underlined word“blemishes” mean in paragraph 4?A．Requirements.B．Disadvantages.C．Influences.D．Suggestions.14．What can we infer from Nikki Brown’s words?A．Working on campus brings a lot of pressure to dogs.B．There is a high global market demand for trained dogs.C．School environment can affect dogs’ behaviour greatly.D．The dogs have the ability to notice students’ mental illness.15．What is the best title for the text?A．How dogs relieve students’ mental problemsB．How dogs ensure students’ safety on campusC．How dogs enrich students’ after-school activitiesD．How dogs develop students’ sense of responsibility第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Livestock(牲畜)cloning is the practice of cloning sheep, cattle and other livestock species as a way to improve efficiency. The basic idea behind livestock cloning is to clone animals that have certain qualities, such as cows that produce more milk or meat. ___16___However, this practice is very controversial, and livestock farmers have been hesitant to adopt it fully because of public opposition and certain inefficiencies.In technical terms, livestock are cloned by taking cells from one animal and using them to fertilize(使受精)eggs. Scientists take the fertilized eggs and put them in female animals. ___17___Many animals are born with abnormal shapes. Scientists are looking for ways to improve the process and make it less expensive to adopt on a wider scale.___18___ For example, if farmers were able to take only their very best animals and recreate them many times, they could potentially be more productive.There are also some potential problems with cloned livestock. ___19___ For example, when a disease hits, there are usually individuals that cannot be harmed by the disease or are more resistant, and they will generally survive. If all the animals were genetically(在基因方面)similar, this sort of disease could totally destroy an entire generation of livestock.In addition to concerns about genetic diversity, there are other concerns about cloning. ___20___ There are also some people who worry that livestock cloning research may be a gateway to introducing human cloning, which is widely disapproved of.A．Are the surviving clones really clones?B．Therefore, the new species are expected to be better.C．The biggest one arises from a reduction in genetic diversity.D．Cloned livestock have the potential to provide some major benefits.E．Cloning animals shows us what might happen if we try to clone humans.F．These concerns sometimes come from worries over unforeseen consequences.G．This process doesn’t always work perfectly, and it can be relatively expensive.第二部分语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

AMy father had returned from his business visit to London when I came in, rather late, to supper. I could tell at once that he and my mother had been discussing something. In that half-playful, half-serio us way I knew so well, he said," How would you like to go to Eton?""You bet, "I cried quickly catching the joke. Everyone knew it was the most expensive, the most famous of schools. You had to be entered at birth, if not before. Besides, even at 12 or 13, I understood my father. He disliked any form of showing off. He always knew his proper station in life, which was in the middle of the middle class, our house was medium-sized; he had avoided joining Royal Liverpool Golf Club and went to a smaller one instead; though once he had got a second-hand Rolls-Royce at a remarkably low price, he felt embarrassed driving it, and quickly changed it for an Austin 1100.This could only be his happy way of telling me that the whole boarding school idea was to be given up. Alas! I should also have remembered that he had a liking for being different from everyone else, if it did not conflict with his fear of drawing attention to himself.It seemed that he had happened to be talking to Graham Brown of the London office, a very nice fellow, and Graham had a friend who had just entered his boy at the school, and while he was in that part of the world he thought he had better phone them. I remember my hands shaking with the puzzlement of my feelings. There wasexcitement,at the heart of great sadness."Oh, h e d oesn't w ant t o g o a way," s aid m y m other, "You s houldn't g o o n l ike t his.”"It's up to him," said my father. "He can make up his own mind.”21.T he house the writer's family lived in was .A．the best they could affordB．rather smallC．for showing offD．right for their social position22.H is father sold his Roils-Royce because .A．it was too cheapB．it was too old to work well C．itwas too expensive to possess D．itmade him feel uneasy23.W hat was the writer's reaction to the idea of going to Eton?A．He had mixed feelings. B．He didn't believe it.C．He was delighted. D．He was very unhappy.24.W e can know from the passage that .A．Children who can go to Eton are very famousB．Children can go to Eton if they willC．It is very difficult for a child to ge t admitted by EtonD．Children don't have the right to decide whether they will go to EtonBYou wake up in the morning，the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time．Then the telephone rings，you say hello, and the drama starts．The person on the other end has a sad tone inhis voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there isnothing to look forward to．Yon are still in a wonderful mood? Impossible!Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness．It may not change what you think，but communicating long enough with them will make you feel sad for a moment or a long time．Life brings ups and downs，but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer．They only feel glad when they make others feel bad．No wonder they can hardly win others’ pity or respect．When y ou c ommunicate w ith p ositive p eople，your s pirit s tays h appy a nd t herefore more positive things are attracted．When the knife of a negative person is put inyou．you feel the heavy feeling that brings you down．Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people．This could be a co-worker，or relative．In this case，say what needs to be said as little as possible． Sometimes i t f eels g ood t o l et o ut y our a nger b ack t o t he n egative p erson，but all this does is to lower you to that same negative level and they won’t feel ashamed of themselves about that．Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized．The negative words of another at the start of the day can run after you throughout the rest ofyour day，which makes you feel bad and takes your happiness away．Life is too short to feel negative．Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible．25.．The purpose of the first paragraph is to ．A．introduce a topic B．offer an evidenceC．make a comparison D．describe a daily scene26．Some negative people base their happiness on．A．making other people unhappyB．other people’s pity for themC．building up a positive attitude D．otherpeople’s respect for t hem27．According t o the p assage， to r educe negative people’s influence on us，we are advised ．A． to change negative people’s attitude to lifeB． to show our dissatisfaction to negative peopleC． to make negative people feel ashamed of themselvesD． to communicate with negative people as little as possible28．What can we learn about negativity?A．It hardly happens among family members．B．Its effect can be completely avoided．C．It s effect can last．D．Its effect is smaller than the effect created by a positive person．CMany people take it for granted that black is a color of bad things while white should always mean something good. This may be because, in their opinion, black is related to darkness and white to purity. However, that is not always the case. Didyou know that the same one colour may mean differently in different places of the world?In the English-speaking world, black is the colour of mourning. People wear black clothes at the funeral. Red is concerned with danger or blood. Yellow is the word for fear. If you are afraid, you are yellow. Yet none of these sayings is true outside the English-speaking world. In China and Korea white is the colour of mourning. In Russia, China and some other countries, red stands for beauty, life and excellence.In Italy and Germany, you are yellow with anger, not with fear.Even within the English-speaking area it is not difficult to find color with different meanings. A redcap in the United States is a porter in a railway station.In Britain, however, a redcap is a military policeman. Both names are logical because both men wear red caps. Similarly, the British term for an American white collar worker is sometimes called a black-coated worker.One does not have to cross an area to find color differences. Would you rather be red-blooded? If we go back to the origin, we find that both terms are logical as both names suggest. The expression "blue-blood" comes from Spain, where some noble families proudly said that they had "blue blood". But then why "blue" blood? Because they were fair-skinned, and it is only natural that their blood vessels stood out appearing blue.29.The two meanings of the term "redcap" form a difference in .A. pronunciationB. climateC. CustomD. logical relationship30.Both Britain and America would probably agree that .A.black is the color of mourningB. a redcap is a porter in a stationC.red stands for beauty and excellenceD.black-coated worker is employed in anoffice31.The best title for this passage is .A.The Origin of Blue BloodB.Colors that Carry Bad MeaningsC.The Meaning Concerned With Certain ColorsD.The Development of the Symbolic Use of Color mentioned in the passage?DHow would you like to sleep with one half your brain asleep and the other half awake? Dolphins sleep this way. Recently , scientists at Indiana State Universityhave discovered that ducks sleep this way too. They found that ducks sleep half awake so they can rest and watch for danger at the same time.After p utting t heir d ucks i n a r ow a nd v ideotaping t hem, s ome r esearchers f ound d ucks on t he e nd o f e ach r ow s pent m ore t ime a sleep w ith o ne e ye o pen ,looking f or p redators.“The more the ducks felt threatened ,the more they slept with one eye open,”said lead author Niels C. Rattenborg ,a graduate student at Indiana State Un iversity , “the unique is not that they do it ,but that they control it . When they sleep at the edge of a group ,they tend to realize greater danger ,so they spend more t ime sleeping with one h alf of t heir brain.” Ducks with one e ye open w ere s till awake e nough to watch out for p redators ,said t he a uthors o f the s tudy ,which a ppears today in the journal Nature.The researchers studied four groups of four ducks in boxes ,which were arranged in a row .Ducks on the end were found to sleep with one eye open 31.8 per cent of the time, compared to 12.4 percent of the time for ducks in the central position. Also ,ducks in the central position did not open on e eye more than the others,while ducks on each end kept the eye facing away from the group open 86.2 per cent of the time. Brain wave readings of the ducks showed that the half of the brain receiving signals from the closed eye indicated that half of the brain was s leeping. Signals from the half of the brain receiving signals from the open eye showed theyare between fully awake and asleep.32．It was discovered that .A．dolphins sleep on their wayB．ducks can sleep half awakeC． most people would like to be half asleepD．ducks have different sleeping habits from each other33．Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．Ducks with one eye open at the edge can still enjoy a certain degree of sleep.B．Ducks with less sense of duty usually choose to stay in the center of a row.C．A video tape recorder was the only electronic device used in the experiment.D．Ducks on the northern end of a row would keep t heir eye facing the south open. 34．A predator is most likely to be .A．an animal that hunts ,kills and eats other animals B．ahuman being who looks after and feeds ducksC．a scientist who does research work on animalsD．an animal that is likely to be friends with ducks35．How many ducks were used in the experiment?A．Four.

AOne Sunday, I took my daughter to the seaside. On arriving at the beach, I saw JoJo, a wealthy man in hotel business. We sat down to chat in an open air cafe while I watched my daughter enjoy herself on the swings (秋千) in front of us.Suddenly, our conversation was interrupted by a stranger, who politely asked permission to speak to me privately. People often want to tell me something about my TV show.We stood a bit away from my table. He said, “I’m James, the father of a 7-year-old girl who’s very sick. The doctors said that if she was treated in the UK, she would probably survive. But I’m poor, so can you help me, please?”I stared into the man’s eyes full of tears and asked how I could help. After I went back, JoJo asked me, “What's wrong?” I told him about it and he was very sorry for that family.All day I thought about James's family. I even thought about making a special TV show to raise money for the sick child.On Monday morning, JoJo walked into my office. Actually, JoJo was very busy, and I never imagined he would have the time to come and see me.“Please, call the man and tell him I’ll pay all the expenses for the girl’s treatment,”JoJo said with a cheque in his hand.“I've been married for 35 years; I wasn’t lucky enoug h to have a child. Sometimes I feel lonely. I want to help this child.”I picked up the phone to call James.Now James’s daughter is well and JoJo sometimes goes to visit her. I’m so happy that there are so good people on this earth.1. According to the passage, the writer _____ .A. often go to the beach with his daughterB. is often troubled by his audienceC. was unwilling to help JamesD. met JoJo at the beach by accident2. James turned to the writer for help probably because he _____.A. guessed the writer was rich enough to help himB. wanted the writer to ask JoJo for helpC. thought the writer could help him through TVD. knew the writer was warm-hearted3. Why did JoJo make up his mind to help James? _____.A. To show his love for a child.B. To remove his loneliness by doing something.C. To show his warm heart and kindness.D. To build a relationship with Jame's family.（B ）Deserts are found where there is little rainfall or where rain for a whole year falls in only a few weeks' time. Ten inches of rain may be enough for many plants to survive (存活)if the rain is spread throughout the year, If it falls within one or two months and the rest of the year is dry, those plants may die and a desert may form.Sand begins as tiny pieces of rock that get smaller and smaller as wind and weather wear them down. Sand dunes (沙丘) are formed as winds move the sand across the desert. Bit by bit, the dunes grow over the years, always moving with the winds and changing the shape. Most of them are only a few feet tall, but they can grow to be several hundred feet high.There is, however, much more to a desert than sand. In the deserts of the southwestern United States, cliffs (悬崖) and deep valleys were formed from thick mud that once lay beneath a sea more than millions of years ago. Over the centuries,the water dried up. Wind, sand, rain, heat and cold all wore away at the remaining rocks. The faces of the desert mountains are always changing –-very, very slowly ---as these forces of nature continue to work on the rock.Most deserts have a surprising variety of life. There are plants, animals and insects that have adapted to life in the desert. During the heat of the day a visitor may see very few signs of living things, but as the air begins to cool in the evening, the desert comes to life. As the sun begins to rise again in the sky, the desert once again becomes quiet and lonely.4. Many plants may survive in deserts when__________________.A. it is dry all the year roundB. the rain falls only in a few weeksC. there is little rain in a yearD. the rain is spread out in a year5. Sand dunes are formed when___________________.A. sand piles up graduallyB. there is plenty of rain in a yearC. the sea has dried up over the yearsD. pieces of rock get smaller6. The underlined sentence in the third paragraph probably means that in a desert there is____________.A. too much sandB. more sand than beforeC. nothing except sandD. something else besides sand7 It can be learned from the text that in a desert____________.A. there is no rainfall throughout the yearB. life exists in rough conditionsC. all sand dunes are a few feet highD. rocks are worn away only by wind and heatCFear may be felt in the heart as well as in the head，according to a study that has found a link between the cycles of a beating heart and the chance of someone feeling fear.Tests on healthy volunteers found that they were more likely to feel a sense of fear at the moment when their hearts are contracting and pumping blood around their bodies, compared with the point when the heartbeat is relaxed.Scientists saythe results suggest that the heart is able to influence how the brain responds to a fearful event, depending on which point it is at in its regular cycle of contraction and relaxation.Sarah Garfinkel at the Brighton and Sussex Medical School said：“Our study shows for the first time that the way in which we deal with fear is different depending on when we see fearful pictures in relation to our heart.”The study tested 20 healthy volunteers on their reactions to fear as they were shown pic tures of fearful faces. Dr Garfinkel said, “The study showed that fearful faces are better noticed when the heart is pumping than when it is relaxed.Thus, our hearts can also affect what we see and what we don't see—and guide whether we see fear.”To further understand this relationship，the scientists also used a brain scanner(扫描仪)to show how the brain influences the way the heart changes a person's feeling of fear.“We have found an important mechanism by which the heart and brain ‘speak’ to each othe r to change our feelings and reduce fear,”Dr Garfinkel said.“We hope that by increasing our understanding about how fear is dealt with and ways that it could be reduced, we may be able to develop more successful treatments for anxiety disorders，and also for those who may be suffering from serious stress disorder.”8. What is the finding of the study? ________.A. Fear is a result of one's relaxed heartbeat.B. One's heart affects how he feels fear.C. Fear has something to do with one's health.D. One's fast heartbeats are likely to cause fear.9. The study was carried out by analyzing ________.A. volunteers' heartbeats when they saw terrible picturesB. the time volunteers saw fearful pictures and their health conditionsC. volunteers' reactions to horrible pictures and data from their brain scansD. different pictures shown to volunteers and their heart－brain communication10. Which of the following is closest in meaning to“mechanism”in Paragraph 6?A. orderB. treatmentC. machineD. system11. This study may contribute to ________．A. treating anxiety and stress betterB. explaining the cycle of fear and anxietyC. finding the key to the heart－brain communicationD. understanding different fears in our hearts and heads（D）Thinking is something you choose to do as a fish choose to live in water. To be human is to think. But thinking may come naturally without your knowing how you do it. Thinking about thinking is the key to critical（判断性的）thinking. When you think critically, you take control of your thinking processes(过程). Otherwise, you might be controlled by the ideas of others. Indeed, critical thinking is at the heart of education.The word “critical” here has a special meaning. It does not mean taking one view against another view, as when someone criticizes another person for doing something wrong. The nature of critical thinking is thinking beyond the easily seen—beyond the pictures on TV, the untrue reports in the newspapers, and the faulty reasoning.Critical thinking is an attitude as much as an activity. If you are curious about life and desire to dig deeper into it, you are a critical thinker. If you find pleasure in deep thinking about different ideas, characters, and facts, you are a critical thinker.Activities of the mind and higher-order reasoning are processes of deep and careful consideration. They take time, and do not go hand in hand with the fast speed in today’s world: fast foods, instant coffee, and self-developing film. If you are among the people who believe that speed is a measure of intelligence（智力）, you may learn something new from a story about Albert Einstein. The first time Banesh Hoffman, a scientist, was to discuss his work with Albert Einstein, Hoffmanwas too nervous to speak. But Einstein immediately put Hoffman at ease by saying, “Please go slowly. I don’t understand things quickly.”12. C ritical thinking is important to us because if we do not think critically, ______.A. it will be hard for us to think naturally and fastB. we might be controlled by other people’s ideasC. we will follow the ideas of others naturallyD. we might be fooled by other people’s ideas13. I f you are a critical thinker, you will ______.A. think deeply about different ideasB. trust the reports in the newspapersC. take one view against another viewD. criticize other people for their mistakes14. I n the last paragraph, “something new” suggests that ______A.the smarter you are , the faster you do thingsB.the faster you do things, the smarter you becomeC.speed can improve intelligenceD.intelligence is not decided by speed15. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Thinking and Critical ThinkingB. Understanding Critical ThinkingC. Thinking is Natural and HumanD. Thinking Fast Means Intelligence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。
