ATravelling by car in Switzerland is very easy, as villages and towns are very well marked and accessible. All green road signs indicate a highway or autobahn, blue signs are secondary roads and white signs back roads.*LimitationThe speed limit is 120 km/h (74 mph) on the autobahn, 80 km/h (50 mph) on secondary roads outside of towns and 50 km/h (30 mph) in towns if not indicated differently. Roadside automatic radar-triggered cameras help enforce these limits. Police are empowered to collect fines on the spot. The minimum age of a driver is 18 years. Seat belts are compulsory for front and rear-seat passengers. The legal blood alcohol limit is 0.08 .*Getting throughFor travelers with motor-homes, it's good that even large motor-homes can travel through the mountain passes. The roads are well maintained and large enough even for trucks. Remember, Switzerland is a very small Country (ca. 250x400 km) and you can easily drive from one end to another in 3 - 5 hours if you stick to the highways. If you plan to travel to Switzerland by car, take your time, you can plan to see lots of places in a short amount of time. Plan to drive for diving's sake, and try to minimally constrain yourself with time-related issues.The mountain resort towns of Braunwald, Murren, Wengen and Zermatt cannot be reached directly by private motor vehicle. Park at the railway or sky tram station and complete the journey via public transport. Trams always have priority. Buses have priority when leaving a bus stop. Traffic going up a mountain has priority. Some mountain roads require one-way traffic during certain hours only; these hours will be posted at either end of such roads.*FuelFuel stations along expressways are usually open from 6:00 a.m. to 10pm or midnight. Outside of open hours fuel is commonly available from automatic pumps that accept 10 and 20 SwF(瑞士法郎) notes or credit cards. Many stations accept major charge cards like Visa, MasterCard or American Express. Fuel price ranges from SFr. 1.75.- to 1.95.- depending on the oil price.21.What can you know from the text?A. The mountain roads are wide enough for motor-homes or trucks to go through.B. Travelers should try to save time to cover the places of interest in Switzerland.C. Travelers can ride motor-homes to visit Braunwald, Murren, Wengen and Zermatt.D. In Switzerland people over 16 are permitted to drive.22.What might NOT be available for travelers to pay fuel in Switzerland?A. Swiss FrancsB. Ali-payC. MasterCardD. American Express23. What type of writing is this text?A. Geography posterB. An activity announcementC. Travel journalD. Travel guideBSince I was first in China in 2012, my life, and China itself, have developed and changed a lot. My first China interaction was in 2012, when I came here with a friend. We traveled from Beijing to Hong Kong, all in 5 weeks. We had a fantastic time meeting local people, exploring beautiful places and eating delicious food. After this experience traveling across China and eating local food, I really wondered ―How did I live witho ut eating dumplings and eggplant on a weekly basis?‖ Well, I guess I did, somehow, for 22 years!As my Chinese improved during my studies I became more independent and more aware of the possibilities of Waimai, or food home delivery. I suddenly noticed the thousands of Waimai drivers zooming across the roads on their motorcycles. On deep, dark Beijing winter days and rainy days, Waimai is like the holy grail and as I enjoyed my take - away dumplings I would think and laugh to myself, ―How did I live before without being able to get Waimai?‖ Well, I guess I did, somehow, for 23 years!In mid-2015, I was back in China again for my master's degree. That's when I came across my first Mobike: ―Oh, that’s a unique bike and surely it will get stolen soon ‖, I thoug ht as I passed on my own black bike. But one week passed and I saw it still there. Then the one Mobike sighting turned into two and three, and soon thousands and then seemingly overnight the streets of Beijing were flooded with orange and yellow wheels. Again, I pondered on how I ever lived without my shared bike account. Well, I guess I did, somehow, for 25 years!China today is a country still steeped in ancient knowledge and custom, yet one that is also bursting with new ideas and changes. Although some things will always stay the same, something else is constantly changing at a pace beyond comprehension. I’m sure as I continue my life here in Beijing I will be swept up in the next new convenience of life that China’s rapid development is bringing out.24.According to the first paragraph, what impressed the author most might be ________.A. Chinese cultureB. Chinese foodC. Chinese peopleD. Chinese history25. The underlined words holy grail in Paragraph 2 probably means________.A. something preciousB. something deliciousC. something expensiveD. something unavailable26. What might be the author’s attitude towards Mobike after it boomed?A. Doubtful.B. CuriousC. Shocked.D. Regretful.27. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Chinese ancient wisdom has been replaced by new ideas.B. China is changing steadily and slowly.C. China will always stay as what it was.D. People in China will live a more convenient life in the future.CWith a starting price of $999, the iPhone X has the highest-price of any iPhone ever offered. Yet Apple said demand for its latest smartphone has so far been "off the charts."One of the most-talked about features of the iPhone X is the new front and back-facing cameras. Apple says its TrueDepth technology greatly improves performance for photographs and video. The camera is also trained to recognize faces and expressions. The company says this gives users power to open up the phone just by looking at it.The new Face ID recognition system replaces the Touch ID on other Apple devices that used a fingerprint to unlock the phone. It works by projecting more than 30,000 dots on the face of users to create a kind of map. An infrared (红外线的) camera then reads these marks to create an image that can be confirmed as having the same appearance.Apple says the system is also designed to continually learn. Each time the face is used to unlock the phone, it is supposed to note any changes, such as facial hair or the person getting older. The system can then remember the changes to keep recognizing the person over time.Reviewers reported successful tests in which the phone recognized the face in different situations and unlocked the device. But most reviewers also said the feature did not work perfectly all the time.One fairly common failure was that the Face ID sometimes did not unlock the iPhone X if the user wore a certain kind of sunglasses. Not surprisingly, wearing any kind of disguise – even one covering just part of the face – caused Face ID to fail. It was found to work correctly when the user was wearing headphones or a hat.Apple has also admitted that Face ID could fail when used with young people who look very much alike. But Apple says its research shows there is only a one in a million chance of another person being able to unlock someone else's iPhone X with Face ID. The company has promised the system will become "the new gold standard" for all facial recognition.28. How can users unlock an iPhone X?A. By using a fingerprint.B. By taking a picture.C. By looking at the iPhone X .D. By recognizing user’s faces.29. From the text, we know the new Face ID recognition ________.A. will recognize users by reading the dots projected on their facesB. will recognize users by using the dots on their facesC. won’t recognize users when they get olderD. is no better than the Touch ID technology30. Users can’t unlock an iPhone X if they wear ________.A. glassesB. masksC. hatsD. headphones31. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Young people can’t use the Face ID successfully.B. The system has become ―the new gold standard‖.C. A million people are using the iPhone X.D. Apple thinks the Face ID system is very successful.DWhen ordering food only takes a few minutes using a smartphone, it’s only natural that food deliveries have become part of college life. However, a university in Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region is trying to put a stop to this trend on its campus.On Nov 1, Guangxi University of Foreign Languages banned food delivery services and disposable food boxes, both to its campus and dormitories.The ban imme diately received fierce criticism from the university’s students, as well as internet users. Some complained that the ban made campus canteens very crowded. ―There are not enough seats in the canteen, which forces us to eat standing up or squatting,‖ a stu dent in the university surnamed Tan told Guangxi Television.The crowded canteens also mean that extra time is spent dining, which could have been used to nap during the lunch break. Some even complained that the canteen only provides a few dishes, most of which don’t taste so great.Su Junlv, from the university’s student affairs office, explained that the ban was carried out because off-campus food posed safety risks for students. It’s believed that take-away food had created a serious garbage problem, as there were often a large number of used food boxes found in campus garbage cans after students had finished their meals.According to Su, the ban was also brought in to help students develop a healthy lifestyle. ―While food delivery services bring convenience, they let students form some lazy habits,‖ Su told Xinhua. ―They spend a whole day in the dorm playing video games, watching TV soap operas and ordering food online.‖However, in the eyes of Liu Junhai, a professor at Renmin University of China, there are other approaches that universities could take to improve their students’ meal times.―Universities should explore how to improve the dining experience in the canteens, such as the queuing and variety of dishes,‖ he told Xinhua.32. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The convenience brought by food delivery.B. The effect of crowded canteens on students.C. A solution to stop students becoming lazy.D. A ban on food delivery in campus.33. In students’ opinion, what would be caused after the ban was carried out?A. It would take students less time to eat in the canteen.B. Students would enjoy various tasty dishes in the canteen.C. Some students may have their meals without seats in the canteen.D. Students would have a longer nap during lunch break.34. According to Su Junlv, the ban is intended to ________.A. tell the students all off-campus food is unhealthy.B. rid the campus of used food boxes.C. force students to spend less time on entertainment.D. improve the dining experience in the canteens.35. What can we infer about Liu Junhai’s attitude to the ban?A. NegativeB. SupportiveC. IndifferentD. Skeptical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。

语鹅市安置阳光实验学校专题限时集训(十一) 阅读七选五之说明文(Ⅰ)A(2018·调研考试)Nowadays more and more children now chat daily either online or through their mobile phones. 1 Some are shy “in real life” but are confident to communicate with others online；others find support from people of their own age on relationship issues，or problems at home.Sometimes the online world，just like the real world，can introduce problems，such as bullying or arguments. 2 But there are also a few people who use the Internet for offensive (冒犯性的)or illegal aims.Children must be made aware of both the good things and the dangers.3 Just as you decide which TV programs are suitable，you need to do the same for the websites and chat rooms your children visit.Remind your children that online friends are still strangers.Reminding them of the risks will keep them alert(警惕)．4 So it's likely that your children may know more than you do.We get left behind when it comes to the latest gadgets and the interactive areas of websites，like chat rooms and message boards，which are especially strange.5 Chatters love to use abbreviations(缩写)such as: atb — all the best，bbfn — bye bye for now，gr8 — great，Idk — I don't know，kit — keep in touch，paw — parents are watching，lol — laugh out loud.It seems like another language，and it is!A．Going online is great fun.B．Computer studies are part of schoolwork now.C．The language of chat is strange to many parents，too.D．There are some websites that are not suitable for children.E．To keep children safe，your management must cover the family computer.F．They are connecting to a huge number of other children all over the world.G．Surfing the Internet takes too much of the time that should be spent on lessons.【语篇解读】本文为说明文，越来越多的孩子使用网络或手机聊天，作为家长应该怎样监督和引导孩子合理使用网络呢？文章对此作了介绍。

The more books bought, the higher the member’s gradeBPaloma sat at a computer in the school library. She stared at the blank screen and the blinking cursor. She rummaged around in her backpack for a rubber band, and then she pulled her hair into a thick pony tail. Paloma looked at the computer screen. It was still blank. She sighed and flipped through her notebook to reread the assignment Mr. Molina had given the class three weeks ago. It was due in just two days, and Paloma knew that she couldn’t procrastinate any longer.Write a creative short story using an experience that you have bad recently, Paloma read Your story should include two examples of figurative language.Paloma and her family had recently taken a trip along North Carolina’s coast. They had visited four different lighthouses, and Paloma wondered what it would be like to live in a lighthouse. She knew that before lighthouses were automated, they were run by a lighthouse keeper who lived on the premises. Paloma thought she’d love to be a lighthouse keeper. Without thinking about it any longer, Paloma began to write the story.I sat with my cat Sadie curled on my lap and looked at the window at the crashing waves. The heavy rain beat against my lighthouse like a thousand footsteps racing up and down the walls. I held Sadie closer, and she let out a small meow of still acting normally. I had read that animals cad sense changes in weather and will seek shelter from a tornado or hurricane. I was relying on Sadie’s calmness to get me through my first hurricane on the island.I knew that my lighthouse was sturdily built. It had survived more than one hundred years’worth of hurricanes and tropical storms. There was no reason to believe that it couldn’t survive another. I looked up at the staircase that spiraled above me and worried as I felt the tower swayslightly in a gust of wind.Paloma stopped and reread what she had just written. She smiled to herself in delight, saved her story, and then settled into her chair to continue writing. She wasn’t sure what was going to happen next, but she knew that if she kept going, the story would continue to tell itself Paloma couldn’t wait to find out where it would take her.24.Why is Paloma feeling anxious at the beginning of the passage?A.She hasn’t much time left to do her writing task.B.She doesn’t know the details of her writing task.C.She has completely forgotten about her writing task.D.She doesn’t know what is wrong with her computer.25. What is the inspiration for Paloma’s story idea?A. Her cat.B. Her teacher.C. Her trip.D. Her dream.26. In Paloma’s story how does the lighthouse keeper decide if the storm is dangerous?A. By listening to the weather report.B. By watching the crashing waves.C. By observing the cat’s behaviour.D. By measuring the movement of the lighthouse.27. As described in the final paragraph, how does Paloma feel after she has written the first part of her story?A. Confused.B. Excited.C. Relieved.D. Determined.CFor many years, Bruce Bexler dreamed of going where no human had gone before. He wanted to cut a path through unexplored lands and discover rare, exotic species.That might sound like an impossible dream, but Bexler turned it into a reality.In December 2015, he and a team of Australian and American scientists ventured into an isolated tropical rain forest on the island of New Guinea. They were the first people ever to enter the mist-covered region. “As time was limited, we were dropped in by helicopter. Once we were on the ground, there were no trails anywhere; it was really hard to get around,” Bexler says.Within minutes of leading, the team spotted a black chicken-like bird with strange orange skin hanging from its neck. The scientists soon determined that the unusual creature was a type of honeyeater--the first new bird species to be sighted on New Guinea in 60 years.The honeyeater wasn’t the only surprise for the scientists. They discovered more than 40 previously unknown plant and animal species—13 birds of paradise, 20 frogs, four butterflies, and five palms. “We were like kids in a candy store,” Bexler recalls. “Everywhere we looked, we saw amazing things we had never seen before.”The newfound species didn’t shy away from the scientists. Two long-nosed echidnas—primitive egg-laying mammals—let the visitors pick them up and take them back to camp to study them. An echidna looks like a hedgehog and it also called a spiny anteater.Bexler thinks the animals weren’t scared because they had never seen humans before. “In almost all parts of New Guinea, animals are hunted for food, and because of this, they are very cautious of people,” he explains. “This area gives scientists a place where they can go to study the behaviours of animals that have not yet learned to be afraid of people.”Scientists believe the area is probably the largest untouched forest in Asia. Local people called Kwerba hunt and collect plants from the outer-edges of the forest but told Bexler that not even their ancestors had gone so far into the woods. The wooded area is approximately a 10-day walk from the nearest village.Bexler and his team did not have enough time during the expedition to study the area completely. They hope to return and expect to record many more undiscovered species. “We just scratched the surface,” Bexler says. “Anyone who goes there will come back with a mystery.”28. Which word best describes Bruce Bexler?A. Adventurous.B. Cautious.C. Optimistic.D. Thorough.29. What does Bruce Bexler mean in paragraph 5 when he says the scientists “were like kids in a candy store”?A. They didn’t have enough food and were hungry.B. They were very excited about what they saw.C. They were misbehaving like naughty children.D. They knew that if they kept searching, they’d find sugar.30. Why did some of the animals allow the scientists to pick them up?A. The scientists seemed to be very friendly.B. The scientists were skilled in handing animals.C. The animals had been well-trained by the local people.D. The animals had no experience or fear of people.31. What can we conclude about the area Bruce Bexler explored?A. The best way to explore the area is by helicopter.B. The area has not been visited by scientists for many years.C. The area still contains many plants and animals unknown to science.D. The locals are unwilling to allow the scientists to enter the deep woods.DPetrol and diesel cars may still dominate our roads, but their days are numbered. A recent university study found that current electric cars could be used for 87 per cent of daily car journey in the US. That figure could rise to 98 per cent by 2020.One hurdle to the widespread adoption of electric cars has been “range anxiety”-----drivers’concerns about running out of juice on a journey. While petrol stations are conveniently located across national road systems, the necessary network of electric charging stations is still being developed. That said, charging points are becoming increasingly common throughout the USA.Attitudes towards electric vehicles have changed quite considerably over the last few years. Not that long ago, electric cars were met with distrust, and their large price tags drove customers away. Thanks to improvements in battery capacity, recharging times, performance and price, the current generation of electric cars are starting to persuade critics. Plug-in cars will soon give internal combustion engine models a run for their money.As well as advancements on the road, electric vehicles are taking to the seas and skies. Electric boats are among the oldest methods of electric travel, having enjoyed several decades of popularity from the late 19th to the early 20th century before petrol-powered outboard motors took over. Now, the global drive for renewable energy sources is bringing electric boats back. Steps towards electric air travel are also being made, with Airbus and NASA among the organizations developing and testing battery powered planes. The experiments could soon make commercial electric flight a reality.Electric vehicles do not produce any emissions. Were the US to act on the study’s findings andreplace 87 percent of its cars with electric vehicles, it would reduce the national demand for petrol by 61 per cent .However, because of the production processes and the generation of electricity required to charge these vehicles, they cannot claim to be completely emission-free. That said, as many countries continue to increase their use of renewable energy sources, electric vehicles will become even cleaner.32. Which is the best title for this passage?A. My Dream CarB. History of Electric CarsC. Problems with Petrol CarsD. Driving into the Future33. As used in Paragraph2 ,the underlined word “hurdle” means ________.A. aimB. barrierC. consequenceD. step34.In the past, why did many people refuse to buy the electric cars?A. They were not good value.B. They were very poorly made.C. They were not widely promoted.D. They couldn’t travel at a high speed.35. What is the function of Paragraph 4?A. To introduce the history of electric travel.B. To explain why the world needs more electric cars.C. To show why more people have interest in electric carsD. To describe different ways electric vehicles can be used第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Winter Market.BCities usually have a good reason for being where they are, like a nearby port or river. People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade. New York City, for example, is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time. Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896, Dawson, Canada, was unmapped wilderness(荒野). But gold was discovered there in 1897, and two years later, it was one of thelargest cities in the West, with a population of 30,000.Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warming. An avalanche(雪崩) once closed the path, killing 63 people. For many who made itto Dawson, however, the rewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first20,000 people who dug for gold, 4,000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable. Necessities like food and wood were very expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down, and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come. Today, people still come and go — to see where the Canadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City — its present population is 762.24. What attracted the early settlers to New York City?A. Its business culture.B. Its small population.C. Its geographical position.D. Its favourable climate.25. What do we know about those who first dug for gold in Dawson?A. Two-thirds of them stayed there.B. One out of five people got rich.C. Almost everyone gave up.D. Half of them died.26. What was the main reason for many people to leave Dawson?A. They found the city too crowded.B. They wanted to try their luck elsewhere.C. They were unable to stand the winter.D. They were short of food.27. What is the text mainly about?A. The rise and fall of a city.B. The gold rush in Canada.C. Journeys into the wilderness.D. Tourism in Dawson.CWhile famous foreign architects are invited to lead the designs of landmark buildings in China such as the new CCTV tower and the National Center for the Performing Arts, many excellent Chinese architects are making great efforts to take the center stage.Their efforts have been proven fruitful. Wang Shu, a 49-year-old Chinese architect, won the 2012 Pritzker Architecture Prize — which is often referred to as the Nobel Prize in architecture — on February 28. He is thefirst Chinese citizen to win this award.Wang serves as head of the Architecture Department at the China Academy of Art (CAA). His office is located at the Xiangshan campus(校园) of the university in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. Many buildings on the campus are his original creations.The style of the campus is quite different from that of most Chinese universities. Many visitors were amazed by the complex architectural space and abundant building types. The curves(曲线) of the buildings perfectly match the rise and fall of hills, forming a unique view.Wang collected more than 7 million abandoned bricks of different ages. He asked the workers to use traditional techniques to make the bricks into walls, roofs and corridors. This creation attracted a lot of attention thanksto its mixture of modern and traditional Chinese elements(元素).Wang’s works show a deep understanding of modern architecture and a good knowledge of traditions. Through such a balance, he had created a new type of Chinese architecture, said Tadao Ando, the winner of the 1995 Pritzker Prize.Wang believes traditions should not be sealed in glass boxes at museums. "That is only evidence that traditions once existed," he said."Many Chinese people have a misunderstanding of traditions. They think tradition means old things from the past. In fact, tradition also refers to the things that have been developing and that are still being created, " he said."Today, many Chinese people are learning Western styles and theories rather than focusing on Chinese traditions. Many people tend to talk about traditions without knowing what they really are, " said Wang.[The study of traditions should be combined with practice. Otherwise, the recreation of traditions would be artificial and empty, he said.28.

Why do we often assume that more is more when it comes to kids and their belongings?The good news is that I can help my own kids learn earlier than I did how to live more with less.I found the pre-holidays a good time to encourage young children to donate less-used things, and it worked. Because of our efforts, our daughter Georgia did decide to donate a large bag of toys to a little girl whose mother was unable to pay for her holiday due to illness. She chose to sell a fewlarger objects that were less often used when we promised to put the money into her school fund(基金）(our kindergarten daughter is serious about becoming a doctor)For weeks, I've been thinking of bigger, deeper questions: How do we make it a habit for them? And how do we train ourselves to help them live with, need, and use less? Yesterday, I sat with my son, Shepherd, determined to test my own theory on this. I decided to play with him with only one toy for as long as it would keep his interest. I expected that one toy would keep his attention for about five minutes, ten minutes, max. I chose a red rubber ball-simple, universally available. We passed it, he tried to put it in his mouth, he tried bouncing it, rolling it, sitting on it, throwing it. It was totally, completely enough for him. Before I knew it an hour had passed and it was time to move on to lunch.We both became absorbed in the simplicity of playing together. He had my full attention and I had his. My little experiment to find joy in a single object worked for both of us.32. What do the words “more is more” in paragraph 1 probably mean?A. The more, the better.B. Enough is enough.C. More money, more worries.D. Earn more and spend more.33.What madeGeorgia agree to sell some of her objects?A. Saving up for herholidayB.

AQuestioning the existence of aliens is something that scientists have done for decades. In fact, most people do believe that aliens exist in some fashion. The main necessities for life are water and some form of energy source. Not surprisingly, there are some planets, exoplanets and moons that fit the bill. Here are several best chances at finding life in the universe.◆TRAPPIST-1TRAPPIST-1 is a planetary system a few dozen light-years away, whose discovery was announced in early 2017. This system consists of seven Earth-like exoplanets orbiting an "ultra-cool" star, and it is one of our shots at finding possible life beyond our own solar system.◆TitanTitan is the largest moon of Saturn, the sixth planet from our Sun. This moon could potentially harbor life but possibly not in the sense that we think. Titan does not exactly fit the description of being in a typical habitable zone.Titan has water, and it has liquid. It just doesn't have liquid water. The water on this moon is completely solid because of the extremely cold temperature.◆EuropaEuropa is one of Jupiter's moons here in our own solar system. It is another candidate due to its potential to hold liquid water. Europa is thought to have all the necessities for life including water, energy sources, and the right chemical build-up.◆MarsThe Red Planet, the fourth from the Sun, is probably one of the most talked-about potential candidates for extraterrestrial(地球外的) life and even for human colonization. Despite some different voices, finding extraterrestrial life on Mars really is a serious possibility.We know by now that we won't find little green men or any intelligent form of life that we understand. However, there is evidence that there was and may still be microscopic life on the small red planet.1. The common point of these celestial bodies is that _______.A. solid water exists on them respectivelyB. life might exist on each of themC. they all contain liquid waterD. each of them has living things on it2. Which celestial body could have life different from human imagination?A. TRAPPIST-1.B. Titan.C. Europa.D. Mars.3. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Europa is the most talked-about potential candidate for extraterrestrial life.B. TRAPPIST-1 is the only body that contains life beyond the solar system.C. All the scientists do believe that aliens exist in some manner.D. There is proof that life existed on the celestial body Mars.BAbout a month after I joined Facebook, I got a call from Lori Goler, a highlyregarded senior director of marketing at eBay. She made it clear this was a business call. “I want to apply to work with you at Facebook,” she said. “Instead of recommending myself, I want to ask you: What is your biggest problem, and how can I solve it?”My jaw hit the floor. I had hired thousands of people over the previous decade and no one had ever said anything remotely like that. People usually focus on finding the right role for themselves, with the implication that their skills will help the company. Lori put Facebook’s needs front and center. It was a killer approach. I responded, “Recruiting is my biggest problem. And, yes, you can solve it.”Lori never dreamed she would work in recruiting, but she jumped in. She even agreed to trade earnings for acquiring new skills in a new field. Lori did a great job running recruiting and within months was promoted to her current job, leading People@Facebook.The most common metaphor for careers is a ladder, but this concept no longer applies to most workers. As of 2010, the average American had eleven jobs from the ages of eighteen to forty-six alone. Lori often quotes Pattie Sellers, who came up with a much better metaphor: “Careers are a jungle gym, not a ladder.”As Lori describes it, there’s only one way to get to the top of a ladder, but there are many ways to get to the top of a jungle gym. The jungle gym model benefits everyone, but especially women who might be starting careers, switching careers, getting blocked by external barriers, or reentering the workforce after taking time off. The ability to create a unique path with occasional dips, detours (弯路), and even dead ends presents great views of many people, not just those at the top. On a ladder, most climbers are stuck staring at the butt of the person above.4. Why did Lori make the call?A. She helped Facebook to solve the biggest problem.B. She wanted to make a business deal with Facebook.C. She tried to ask for a pay rise in Facebook.D. She wanted to become an employee in Facebook.5. What impressed “I” by Lori?A. Lori was good at running recruiting.B. Lori attached great importance to Facebook’s needs.C. Lori jumped in Facebook with no adequate experience.D. Lori was skilled in marketing at eBay.6. What can we infer from the passage?A. Now all people don’t tend to climb the ladder.B. None on the ladder can enjoy the great views.C. Jungle gyms offer limited exploration for employees.D. A pregnant woman, jobless, benefits little from the jungle gyms.7. What is the best title of the passage?A. It’s a Jungle Gym, Not a Ladder.B. Facebook’s Biggest Problem.C. Applying for a Job in Facebook.D. A Jungle Gym is Better than a Ladder.CCareers in zoology are extremely varied and unique, and can provide incredible learning and work opportunities for anyone devoted to animal studies and welfare. Zoology, or the study of animals, is a wide field with many specialties, including research, conservation, veterinary (兽医的) medicine, and the care of animals. For people with a love of animals and some training, dreams of careers in zoology may come true.Some careers in zoology focus on research and scientific studies. These careers may allow those with a good theoretical science background to develop and run studies that improve human understanding of the animal world. Research in zoology can help create safer and more effective products for animals or can teach humans more about animal behavior in order to aid in conservation, breeding programs, and habitat preservation.Careers in zoology that focus on conservation attach great importance to the continued survival and increased protection of animal species. Conservationists may work with political groups or governments to help make laws to protect and preserveanimals, or may work in the field gathering information on potential threats to the health of global ecosystems. Some conservationists work in educational fields, trying to improve human efforts to save animals from extinction.Animals are subject to illness and injury, and some careers in zoology help to create a safe, stable animal population. Veterinary medicine is an important specialty field, and may take several years of intensive training to qualify as a certified veterinarian. While many veterinarians focus on the small-animal practice of domestic pets, vets in rural areas often work with large farm animals and more adventurous veterinarians may work with exotic species in zoos and wildlife preserves. .Humans love to observe animals, and modern-day zoos and wildlife preserves help meet that interest while providing facilities to assist with conservation programs. Zoology careers in zoos can range from overseeing breeding programs, to creating the proper diet for a deer, to cleaning the tiger’s cage. Many volunteer and entry-level jobs are available for people that love animals.8. What is the purpose of researching on animals in zoology?A. To help governments make laws.B. To improve researchers’ scientific knowledge.C. To create safe and effective products for humans.D. To educate people to protect animals.9. What can careers in zoology that focus on veterinary medicine help?A. Better understand animals.B. P rotect animals’ health.C. C lean the animals’ cages.D. Increase the number of animals.10. Which of the following shows the structure of the whole passage?(P1=paragraph 1; P2= paragraph 2; P3= paragraph 3; P4= paragraph 1; P5= paragraph 5;)11. What does the passage mainly present?A. Volunteers’ passion for zoology.B. A new idea of careers in zoology.C. Different types of careers in zoology.D. Effective measures of animal protection.DNEW YORK－A massive winter storm paralyzed much of the US East Coast on Thursday and Friday, dumping as much as 46 centimeters of snow from the Carolinas to Maine.

AA man thirsts for adventure．Often the journey is the destination itself，and you can learn a lot from a brief adventure into the wild．Here are four types of outdoor adventures that every man should attempt to take．The Ascent（登高）Mountain climbing and backpacking is one way to truly test your limits．It's a test of mental and physical strength．Besides，it often requires months of preparation．There are plentiful famous mountains notable for being extremely challenging for even the most dedicated climbers．The one thing they all have in common is that they attract a certain type of a person：one with a desire to defeat nature．The Solo（单独的）TripGoing out into the wild，alone，is one of the scariest things a lot of people could ever imagine．If you take proper precautions，a solo trip can be a very freeing and rewarding experience．Particularly if you have some heavy things going on in your life-perhaps a failing relationship，switching careers，or financial conflict-getting away from everyone and everything can put you in tune with nature，and with yourself．The Open OceanWhether you find yourself in a kayak（皮船），sailboat，or any other kind of water boat，getting out on the water arouses some very special feelings．Nothing quite compares to having a gentle wind in your face，as you stare out at the vast and glassy expanse of the open water．Endurance（耐力）ChallengeThis is when you're serious about putting your life on hold，and getting away from it all．Endurance，in this case，can mean a number of things．Trips like this can last months，and include thousands of miles．But they will test every fiber of your being-psychologically，you'll be in constant battle．Physically，you'll be tired andhungry almost all the time．And all of those things make these types of adventures the extreme test of will．You can climb mountains，deserts，rivers and lakes．21．What is the common point of the well-known challenging mountains？A．They appeal to people who are eager to overcome nature．B．They are beautiful enough to attract visitors．C．They are suitable for those who are experienced．D．They draw the attention of people who are well-prepared．22．A person is likely to choose a solo trip when he ．A．has a stable jobB．makes a big fortuneC．succeeds in finishing a difficult taskD．has trouble in dealing with the relationship23．What can be regarded as an endurance challenge？A．A bike ride across the United States．B．A short trip to the countryside．C．A relaxing walk around a park．D．A pleasant return to nature．BFor many people, leisure time is an opportunity to get outdoors, have some fun and meet interesting people. Add two pieces of advanced 21 st century technology — global positioning system (GPS) devices and the Internet —to get “geocaching”.The word geocaching comes from “geo” (earth) and “cache” (hidden storage). Geocachers log onto a website to find information about the location of a cache — usually a waterproof plastic box containing small items such as toys and CDs — along with a notebook where “finders” can enter comments and learn about the cache “owner”, the person who created and hid the cache. Finders may take any of the items in the cache but are expected to replace them with something of similar value. They then visit the website again and write a message to the owner.Geocaching became possible on May 1, 2000, when a satellite system developed by the U.S. Department of Defense was made public. Using an inexpensive GPS device, anyone on earth can send a signal to the satellites and receive information about their position. This is basically a high-tech version of orienteering, the traditional pastime which uses maps and compasses instead of GPS to determine one’s location.Geocachers are a very considerate group. Owners carefully choose a cache’s location to give finders an enjoyable experience, such as a beautiful view or a good campsite. They also consider the environmental impact of their cache since it could result in an increased number of visitors to an area. As for the content of the caches, owners and finders must only use items that are suitable for the whole family, as caches are found by geocachers of all ages.24.According to the passage, geocaching is __________.A．an outdoor leisure activityB．a new type of technologyC．a game used to teach geographyD．a program to protect environment25.How can finders learn about the cache owners?A．By meeting them. B．By going to a website.C．From the notebook. D．From the satellite.26.Which of the following is NOT used in geocaching?A．A GPS device. B．A compass.C．A plastic container. D．The Internet.27.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．Most geocachers are adults.B．Any item can be placed in the caches.C．The caches should be put in a remote place.D．Geocachers try to avoid damaging the environment.CAs a child, visiting the zoo was more a punishment than a treat. I didn't find the chimps' tea parties funny, nor the bird shows entertaining. Feeding time for seals was less painful, but their performances still seemed like they belonged more in a circus.And I hated circuses, especially the animal acts-men teasing lions, girls balancing on elephants and monkeys playing football. I knew that every trick a circus animal did was unnatural, achieved through strict training and quite possibly cruelty.Happily, during my lifetime public attitudes and the law have changed. Circuses using wild animals are now almost extinct, and zoos have definitely evolved.When my children were young, I occasionally took them to our local zoo. The elephantswere in tiny cages and the gorillas looked bored as they sat peeling bananas and staring at teasing visitors. Each cage had a sign which listed the animal's name and where it came from. But, back then, there was little information included about the environmental challenges they faced.As a result, environmentalists and animal lovers often oppose zoos. “Animals belong in the wild,” is a common and understandable complaint. But what do the animals themselves prefer?Generally speaking, zoo animals have a longer life. But-you may protest-they are not free. What? Free to be hunted and killed, free to die of hunger or thirst? Maybe sitting in a cage eating bananas isn't so bad.Not that such conditions are acceptable in modern zoos, due to the work of BIAZA, the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums. These days every zoo requires BIAZA's approval to operate, and the association sets the standards, observes conditions in zoos and develops animal-research programmes, both in the UK and abroad. BIAZA also organises the animal exchanges between zoos all over the world.Consequently, today, most zoo animals are born and raised in zoos, live in large, comfortable enclosures and are cared for by well-trained, knowledgeable and caring zoo employees. Of course it's no substitute for living in the wild but unfortunately this isn't always possible. Meanwhile, why not visit your local zoo and decide for yourself?28. The passage is mainly about .A. how zoos have improvedB. whether a zoo should be closed downC. a new environmental organisationD. the difference between zoos and circuses29. From Paragraph 2, we can guess that the writer believes circus animals .A. had much shorter lives than those in the wildB. were not treated well by their trainersC. should have been placed in zoosD. were not as intelligent as those in zoos30. Which of the following roles are performed by BIAZA?A. Organising animal study projects and training zoo workers.B. Checking zoo conditions and arranging animal exchanges.C. Designing zoos and approving zoo operations.D. Caring for ill animals and setting zoo standards.31. Which of the following statements about zoos would the writer agree with?A. Zoo animals should be freed into the wild.B. Zoos are more popular now than in the past.C. Zoo animals are more restricted than in the past.D. Zoos now provide caring living conditions for animals.DFar out in the lake was a large wooden platform on which stood an improbably high diving board — a kind of wooden Eiffel Tower. It was, I’m sure, the county’s tallest wooden structure and no one had ever been known to jump from it.So it was quite a shock when our teacher, Mr. Milton, announced that he would dive off the high board that very afternoon.Word of his questionable plan was already spreading through town as Mr. Milton swam out to the platform. He was just a tiny, stick figure when he got there but even from such a distance the high board seemed almost to touch the clouds. Once at the top, he paced the enormously long board, then took some deep breaths and finally stood at edge. He was going to do it.Several hundred people had gathered at the shore to watch. Mr. Milton stood for quite a long time, then he raised his arms, took one massive bounce and launched himself into a perfect dive. It was beautiful. He fell with perfect style for what seemed minutes. The crowd fell silent. The only sound to be heard was the faint whistle of his body tearing through the air toward the water far, far below.But about three quarters of the way down he seemed to have second thoughts and began suddenly to panic, waving his arms and legs like someone having a bad dream. When he was perhaps thirty feet above the water, he gave up on waving and spread his arms and legs wide, apparently hoping that it would somehow slow his fall.It didn’t.He hit the water at over six hundred miles an hour. The impact was so loud that it made birds fly out of their trees three miles away. I don’t think he entered the water at all. He ju st bounced off it, about fifteen feet back into the air. After that, he lay still on the surface, spinning like an autumn leaf.He was brought to shore by two passing fishermen in a rowboat and placed on an old blanket where he spent the rest of the afternoon. Occasionally he accepted small sips of water, but otherwise was too shocked to speak. From head to toe, he was covered with deep redbruises.... It was the best day of my life.32.What did the writer think of Mr. Milton’s plan to jump from the divin g board?A.Crazy.B.Disappointing.C.Heroic.D.Confused.33.In Paragraph 3, Mr Milton is described as “a tiny, stick figure” because he wasA.tired after swimmingB.very small and thinC.very far awayD.sure to be broken34.Why did Mr. Milton suddenly start swinging his arms and legs during the dive?A.He thought it was the best way to slow his fall.B.He lost his confidence and started to panic.C.He was signalling the crowd for help.D.He wanted to show his courage.35.Which of the following sentences from the passage is an example of a fact?A.He hit the water at over six hundred miles an hour.B.The impact was so loud that it made birds fly out of trees up to three miles away.C.He just bounced off it, about fifteen feet back into the air.D.He was brought to shore by two passing fishermen in a rowboat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。
