Clearly, this 16-year-old boy has his head in the clouds and his feetoff the ground. Several times a week, Ellie Andreen, 15, visits a park near herhome to check on her little family. The boxes she placed there last winter haveproduced several babies of bluebirds, which Ellie fusses over like amother hen.These young bird-watchersare not the only youngsters who enjoy birding in the United States county ofHarford, Maryland. Local schools there offer programs in ornithology , even if some kids can’t yet spell the word.Both Nick and Ellie took upbirding early on. They call themselves the Early Birds, Feathered Friends orBird Buddies. Once a month, they join groups of 20 to 30 students to walkthrough nearby fields before class at 7:30 am, hoping to spot a woodpecker ororiole with binoculars.“Being part of thebird club since second grade made it seem more common than just some strangehobby,” Nick said. “I had to get up at 6:30 am for the walks. Thatwas for the birds, so I didn’t mind.”Since then, he has attendedbird camps, studied bird habits and migratory patterns, and personally seen 190of the more than 400 species in Maryland.Raising youth awareness isa must, longtime birders say. Mary Murray, 65, a leading member of the HarfordBird Club, said, “These children are going to inherit Earth, and we needto teach them early how to take care of it.

Knownas the melting pot of Europe, it combines the cultures of Europe with extremebeauty and fantastic food.Switzerland’s culture is acombination of neighboring states: France, Germany, and Italy. The result is amultilingual country, as eastern Switzerland speaks French, the southern partspeaks Italian and the rest speaks German.Like the language, thecuisine is also quite different by region. If you visit cities like Geneva, you’llfind traditional French dishes like fondue and raclette, melted Swiss cheeseserved over bread or potatoes. Meanwhile, in German-speaking regions, likeZurich, you’ll find Rosti, a typical side dish made from fried potatoes.However, if there’s onething that unites the Swiss and the rest of the world, it’s their love ofchocolate. Swiss chocolate factories are “the most luxurious in the world”.US travel blogger Sarah Schmalbruch wrote on Business Insider that famous brands, like Lindt, are based in thecountry. Visitors to Switzerland can enjoy tasting chocolates, and even takeclasses from master chocolate makers.Aside from the wide varietyof food on offer, Switzerland also offers thrills. The Swiss Alps offeryear-round skiing and mountain climbing with local experts. Besides, you canvisit the beautiful Matterhorn, known for its distinctive pyramid shape andsnow-capped peak. Standing at a height of more than 4,400 meters, it is themost pictured mountain in the world, according to Smithsonian magazine.But if city culture is moreyour thing, you’ll find a large group of museum s and art galleries, not tomention the world’s largest teddy bear museum in Basel.Even the largest Swisscities tend to be laid back , but with many excitingactivities and cultural sites, Switzerland is perfect for every taste. Afterall, where else in Europe offers you the culture of four different countries?（1）The author presents Switzerland as a multi-cultural country by introducing its .A . architecture and foodB . languages and foodC . festivals and architectureD . costumes and festivals（2）Why does the author mention Sarah Schmalbruch’s words?A . To stress the popularity of Swiss chocolates.B . To prove Swiss chocolates are difficult to make.C . To show how delicious Swiss chocolates are.D . To show the history of Swiss chocolates.（3）What can you find in Switzerland?A . The largest art gallery.B . The safest skiing location.C . The most pictured mountain.D . The oldest teddy bear museum.（4）The author wrote the article mainly to .A . discuss Switzerland’s history and cultureB . give advice to visitors to SwitzerlandC . recommend some famous places to peopleD . introduce what tourists can enjoy in Switzerland4. 阅读理解Have you ever said to afriend “That rose’s smell is really sweet!” only to find that your friend can’t smell anything at all?According to a study published in the journal PNAS in May, people have different abilities to recognize certain odors —and it’s linked to different genes.For the study, 300 people were placed among 150 jars with different odors. At a given time, they had to smell an odor and then rate the intensity andpleasantness of the odor on a scale from 1 to 7 . Before they left, the participants needed to leave a blood sample.After comparing genes of the participants, researchers found all had different smelling abilities and that the differences between these abilities could be traced to certain genes.According to The New York Times, human beings have nearly 400 genes that directly control receptors and influence the way these receptors become active.“Odors ... turn on specific receptors, which then tells us if we’re smelling a flower, how strong we find it, and whether we like it,” said Casey Trimmer, a geneticist and the lead author of the study. “One small change in the gene for the receptor can change its shape and how well the odor fits, thereby changing th e awareness of the odor.”Though genes play a decisive role in our ability to smell, other factors, including attention, past associations and expectations, are important as well. For example, if we love the smell of roses, we are drawn to their smell and pay special attention to it.But what does our different abilities to sense odors mean?“Smelling is the most important sense for the rest of the animal kingdom,” said Trimmer. Although, unlike other animals, humans aren’t any longer dependent on their sense of smell to find food or detect danger, smell is still a significant sense. There is also evidence that a reduced sense of smell is an early symptom of Alzheimer’s disease.（1）What did the study find about smelling?A . Men and women have different smelling abilities.B . Differences between smelling abilities lie in genes.C . People’s abilities to smell change over time.D . Human beings can tell 150 odors apart.（2）What can we learn from Casey Trimmer’s words?A . Our receptors won’t work when we smell a n unpleasant smell.B . People’s preferences for smells can affect their health.C . Small changes in genes for smelling make a difference.D . The sense of smell is the most important human sense.（3）Which might influence our smelling ability according to the text?A . Past experiences.B . The environment.C . Other senses.D . The cultural belief.（4）What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A . Man has a better sense of smell than animals.B . Man can use their sense of smell to detect danger.C . The loss of smelling causes many health problems.D . Poor smelling ability may be a signal of early disease.二、任务型阅读（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）5. 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。

AA sense of humour，God's greatest gift to mankind，is universally considered the most valuable personality.It is born within every person's heart，but has to be cultivated(培养)．A person without humour is just like a spring without flowers，or like a dish without seasoning(调味)．In a sense，your personality lies in your sense of humour.Humour can improve physical as well as mental well being.It helps us bear our burdens，reduce our tension，overcome our frustration(挫折)．With a joke，all our worries and sadness disappear like smoke，and we are all full of energy once again.Humour helps us live in harmony(和谐)with others.It is unavoidable to have misunderstanding and tension with others during work and study.But humour can help us solve these problems more quickly than angry words or

improve your sense of humour.1．Begin to cultivate an atmosphere of humour and laughter in your relationships.2．Start association with humorous，fun loving people.3．Learn to laugh at yourself.4．Collect

lifetime，he acted in 13 films，and he wrote，directed and acted in 69 other films.Chaplin was born in London in 1889.As a poor boy，he was often seen waiting outside the London theatre，hoping to get work in show business.He could sing and dance，and above all，he knew how to make people laugh.But he couldn't get work and therefore wandered about the city streets.Sometimes he was sent away to a home for children who had no parents.Charlie Chaplin first acted when he was five.He broke into show business because his mother，a music­hall performer，lost her voice during the performance and had to leave the stage，and Charlie went on and sang a well­known song.Halfway through the song a shower of money poured onto the stage.Charlie stopped singing and told audiences he would pick the money first and then finish the song.The audiences laughed.This was the first of millions of laughs in Charlie Chaplin's fabulous career(神话般的生涯)．Twenty years later the same Chaplin became the greatest and best loved comedian in the world.His dream came true in the end.Chaplin became world­famous and almost a king in the world of the film.Even people who don't understand English can enjoy Chaplin's films because they are mostlysilent.The equipment for adding sound to films had not yet been developed.The development of filmswith sound became a problem for Chaplin，as he was uncertain about making films with dialogues.Instead，he continued to make films without dialogue，but he added music，which he wrote himself.It isn't what he says that makes us laugh.His comedy doesn't depend on words.It depends on little actions which mean the same thing to people the world over.Chaplin's later films，however，were not well received.Chaplin lived most of his life in America and the last years in Switzerland，where he was buried at Christmas 1977，at the age of eighty­eight.There was sadness all over the world at the news of his death.In his book，Chaplin tells us how to succeed in life.He says，“You have to believe in yourself.That's the secret.”5．Chaplin is regarded as king of comedy mainly because ______.A．he acted out the common human situations best in his comedyB．he could sing and dance wellC．he knew how to make people laughD．lots of people have seen his films6．What makes people laugh in Chaplin's films?A．It isn't his words but his actions.B．Neither his words nor actions.C．Either his words or his actions.D．Not only his words but also his actions.7．The only secret of Charles Chaplin's huge success is that ______.A．he can make all people，men and women，old and young laughB．he has full trust in himselfC．he is always active and hard­working all his lifeD．though he is always in trouble，he never loses heart8．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．He was too shy to meet the managers of the theatre.B．People won't stop laughing until tears run down Chaplin's face.C．People all over the world can enjoy Chaplin's films without translation because most of them are silent.D．He wouldn't like to work at the theatre.CI had my first job at the age of thirteen,when a friend of my mother’s who owned a bookshop hired me for six hours a week to help her in the shop.I was very proud to earn my own pocket money and my parents never interfered（干涉）with how I spent it,even when I was spending it foolishly.They believed that by earning money,spending it,and learning from my mistakes.I would become more mature and responsible about how to handle work,relationships with others,and money.Like many American parents,my parents also let me and my brothers do things over which they worried a great deal.When I was sixteen,for example,after I finished high school and before I entered university,I wanted to spend the summer months traveling around Europe.My mother was against the idea of my traveling alone at such a young age,but my father felt that it would be a great experience for me.In the end,my father won the argument on the condition that I limited my traveling to France,my mother’s home,where I had many uncles,aunts and cousins spread out through the country who could provide shelter and help if I needed it.Three years later,when he was eighteen,my younger brother decided to take a year off after his first year in university and travel through the United States and the Caribbean.Again my mother was very worried and not eager to see my brother leave school,but my father encouraged him and my brother had a fascinating year working his way on trains and ships to earn passage to different ports and cities,and discovering many fascinating places and people.These kinds of experiences are probably rare for children in many countries but in the US they are fairly common.Most parents start pushing their children at a young age to do small things by themselves.By the time they have finished high school,many American kids have already had part-time jobs,traveled around the US or other countries on their own,selected the university they plan to attend and maybe even decided on their future career,and so on.9.Why did the writer’s parents allow their children to do what they want?A.Because they thought that their children would become braver.B.Because they believed that their two sons would earn some pocket money.C.Because they thought that their children would find a job easier.D.Because they thought that it would bring good to their children’s future.10.What does the writer think of his brother’s travel?A.He thought his brother gained valuable experiences during the travel.B.He thought his brother earned a lot of money by working.C.He thought his brother didn’t disappoint his father.D.He thought his brother’s travel was better than his to France.11.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.The author went to France in order to see his relatives.B.The writer’s mother managed to prevent the children doing what she thought might be dangerous.C.The writer’s brother gave up his university to travel through the USA and the Caribbean.D.American kids do things by themselves to make preparations for the future with the encouragement of their parents.12.The best title of the passage probably is“__________”.A.Part-time JobsB. IndependenceB.Pocket Money D. Experiences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。
