Most animals have little connection with animals of a different kind, unless they hunt them for food. Sometimes, however, two kinds of animals come together in a partnership (伙伴关系) which is good for both of them. You may have noticed some birds sitting on the backs of sheep. This is not because they want a ride, but because they find easy food in the parasites (寄生虫) on sheep. The sheep allow the birds to do so because they remove the cause of discomfort. So although they can manage without each other, they do better together.
Sometimes an animal has a plant partner. The relationship develops until the two partners cannot manage without each other. This is so in the corals(珊瑚) of the sea. In their skins they have tiny plants which act as “dustmen”, taking some of the waste products from the coral and giving in return oxygen which the animal needs to breathe. If the plants are killed, or are even prevented from receiving light so that they cannot live normally, the corals will die.
（1）Some birds like to sit on a sheep because _______.
A.they can eat its parasites
B.they enjoy travelling with the sheep
C.they depend on the sheep for existence
D.they find the position most comfortable
（2）The underlined word “they” in the last sentence of the first paragraph refers to ______.
A.birds and parasites
B.birds and sheep
C.parasites and sheep
D.sheep, birds and parasites
（3）We learn from the text that corals depend on plants for______.
A.comfort
B.light
C.food
D.oxygen
（4）What does the second paragraph mainly discuss?
A.Some animals and plants depend on each other for existence[
B.Some animals and plants develop their relationship easily.
C.Some plants depend on each other for food.
D.Some animals live better together.

【答案】
（1）A
（2）B
（3）D
（4）A
【解析】动物与其他不同种类的动物之间除了食物链的关系，通常很少有牵连。但是两种动物之间还有可能建立起一种伙伴关系，从而共生共赢。有时候动物和植物之间也是如此。

⑴A。细节理解题。从第一段You may have noticed some birds sitting on the backs of sheep….because they find easy food in the parasites (寄生虫) on sheep.可以得出答案。

⑵B。猜测词义题。从第一段倒数第二和第三得知，羊和羊背上的鸟之间彼此需要。尽管离了彼此一样能活，但是在一起会更有利。they是指the sheep和the birds.

⑶D。细节理解题。第二段In their skins they have tiny plants which act as “dustmen”, taking some of the waste products from the coral and giving in return oxygen which the animal needs to breathe，珊瑚靠植物供给它赖以呼吸的氧气。

⑶A。主旨大意题。第二段的首句是本段的主题句，说明动物和植物之间也会有伙伴关系，并且拿珊瑚和它身上的植物作为例子。故选A。

What will man be like in the future—in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make a guess, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.
Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller, so we may assume (假定) that man will continue to grow taller. Again, as time goes on, we shall have to use our brains more and more. This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head, in particular, the forehead will grow larger.
Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely that man's eyes will grow stronger.
On the other hand, we are likely to make less use of our arms and legs, which, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.
But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer.
Perhaps all these give the impression that in the future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us.
（1）What does the passage mainly tell us?
A.Man's life will be different in the future.
B.Future man will look quite different from us.
C.Man is growing taller and uglier as time passes.
D.Man's organs' functions will be weaker.
（2）What serves as the evidence that man is changing?
A.Man's hair is getting thinner and thinner.
B.Man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had.
C.Man's arms and legs have become lighter and weaker.
D.Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years.
（3）According to the passage, we can learn that ________.
A.human beings will become less attractive in the future
B.less use of a part of the body will become weaker
C.human beings hope for a change in the future life
D.future life is always predictable

【题目】Spain could soon become 【1】first European Union country to extradite Taiwanese criminal 【2】(suspect)to China, instead of their home island.

In December, a joint Spanish-Chinese operation busted what police said was a massive 【3】(internationally) phone scamming syndicate(诈骗集团).

Although most of the 269 suspects 【4】(arrest) were Taiwanese nationals, Beijing asked for the entire group to be sent to China. Last month, the Spanish government approved the request.

Taiwan, which China 【5】 (see) as a breakaway province that will eventually be reunited with the mainland, has protested that the decision violates historical European human rights norms and the “principle of nationality”.

But the reality is that it can do little 【6】 (stop) the transfer. Spain, like most countries, doesn’t 【7】 (formal) recognize Taiwan as a state.

Analysts say China’s stance on the issue reflects the tougher line it has taken towards Taiwan since President Tsaiing-wen, 【8】party leans towards formal independence, won elections in January last year. The mainland has also spoken of 【9】 (it) frustration with Taiwan, accusing it 【10】 failing to rein in (控制)thousands of its nationals who dupe Chinese people via phone scams from abroad.

The world itself is becoming much smaller by using modern traffic and modern communication means. Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.
Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place, man moved to another place. But this is no longer true. Man is now slowly polluting the whole world.
Air pollution is still the most serious. It's bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us angry more easily.
Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air.
Pollution by carbon dioxide is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. It is true that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.
The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean. And we must take care of the rise in population at the same time.

Dear Sally,
Now I'd like to tell you something about my part-time job this summer vacation, of which I worked like a guide in a travel agency.The work was interesting but tired. I think it was helpful to work this holiday. It was the first time that I have earned money on my own.I've come to understand how hard my parents work to support for the family. I used to keep on ask them for money, but now I'll never waste money and learn to share worry with my parent. I've learnt how to get along well with others.
What's worse, I've gained some working and social experience and I have learnt something can' t be learnt from textbooks. All these will be good for my future. In a word, I had the wonderful and valuable summer vacation.
Yours,
Li Bing

【题目】阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。
As is known to us, the year 2016 has one extra day in it — February 29th. This is because it's we call “a leap year”. Every four years, the year has 366 days in instead of 365.
It is called a leap year because hundreds of years ago in England, the extra day wasn't (legal) recognized. There is a well-known tradition in the UK (associate) with February 29th, introduced many centuries ago. Women are allowed to break with tradition and propose(求婚) to their boyfriends on this day. This all started back in the (five) century, when a famous Irish saint made a (complain) that women had to wait too long for men to propose. According to the legend, Saint Patrick said any female dreaming of a proposal could ask her boyfriend to marry her on this additional day in February. This so-called tradition (write) in law in the thirteenth century. Scotland passed a law allowing women to propose to men in a leap year. It was said that if the men refused, they had to pay a fine!
Now in 2016, there are calls February 29th to become a public holiday. Some people believe that it should be an (office) day off, because no one gets (many) payments for working an extra day in a leap year. For the moment though, the British still have to go to work on this day.

【题目】根据短文内容，选择正确答案。 If your parents were to surprise you with a present on your birthday, which one would you prefer, a trip to the amusement park or a new pair of shoes?
According to Science Daily, about one-third of the people are likely to prefer shoes to a fun trip. These people are called "materialists", namely, those who value material goods more than experiences. But which of the two choices makes people happier?
Back in 2009, Ryan Howell, a professor at San Francisco State University, found that in the long run, experiences make people happier than possessions. This is because the joy of receiving a new object fades over time as you get used to seeing it every day. Experiences, on the other hand, can continue to bring you joy in the future through happy memories.
But materialists should at least be happy when they first buy something, shouldn't they?
To figure it out, Howell did another study. He classified a group of adults according to their personality types, ranging from less materialistic to more materialistic. Each person was asked different questions to see how they felt about spending money on material goods versus spending money on experiences.
As expected, the more materialistic participants got less happiness from purchases than the less materialistic, because such purchases didn't fit with their personalities and values. But to Howell's surprise, he found that materialists weren't any happier even if they spent money on material items.
This is because materialists worry that others may criticize or look clown on their choices. "There are certain value systems that are rejected by society," said Howell. "When we find out someone is materialistic, we think less of them, and that drives their happiness down."
Another reason is that materialistic people always focus on what they don't have instead of what they have now. This makes them feel less satisfied and grateful.
If you happen to be a materialistic person, there's something you can try. "If materialists make more accurate purchases, rather than trying to impress others, they will be happier, "Howell said.
You should also remember what an ancient Greek philosopher once said, "Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for."
（1）What did Ryan Howell find in his studies?
A.Material goods bring people less happiness than experiences.
B.About one-third of the people prefer material goods to experiences.
C.Materialists have more fun spending money on goods than on experiences.
D.Receiving a new object brings lasting joy while the joy of an experience fades soon.
（2）What did Ryan Howell want to find out by doing another study?
A.How to judge whether a person is a materialist.
B.Why materialists are not happy with their purchases.
C.How materialists feel when they spend money on goods.
D.Whether materialists are happy when they first make purchases.
（3）Why does the author use the ancient Greek philosopher's words in the last paragraph?
A.To advise materialistic people not to try to impress others.
B.To persuade people to be satisfied with what they have.
C.To prove it's unwise to be materialistic and desire too much.
D.To tell readers what they desire now might one day become theirs.
（4）What can be the best title for the passage?
A.Are You a Materialist?
B.How To Acquire Happiness?
C.The Best Present For the Birthday
D.Which Can Make People Happier?
