【题目】New research shows sheep are clever

People often make jokes about how dull sheep are, but new research shows they may be cleverer than we think. Researchers at the University of Cambridge discovered that Welsh mountain sheep have brainpower that equals rodents (啮齿动物). Tests found that the sheep can map the area they live in, and some may even be able to plan ahead.

Young fish prefer noisy neighbors

A new study has shown that young fish like to live on reefs (暗礁) with noisy neighbors! Researchers from the universities of Auckland and Bristol found that young fish looking for a home choose areas where other noisy fish live. The scientists produced all kinds of sounds which had been recorded in different natural environments. The young fish seemed to prefer the sounds of natural reefs, compared with noisy animals! The scientists compared the choice to a music fan wandering around at a music festival, choosing to set up a tent closest to the music they like best!

Butterflies are disappearing

A new study has shown that 17 species (物种) of butterfly found in Europe have dropped by 70% in the last 20 years. The information collected from 3,000 sites across 15 countries shows it may be caused by the loss (减少) of grasslands covered with flowers. You can encourage butterflies to come into your garden by planting flowers.

【1】What is the passage mainly about?

A. Some new studies about animals.

B. People’s wrong ideas about animals.

C. Why the number of animals has dropped.

【3】Which seems to have something to do with the number of butterflies?

A. The species of grass in grasslands. B. The species of trees in grasslands.

【2】B

【3】C

【解析】文章主要讲述了对一些动物的新研究。

【1】主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了对一些动物的新研究。根据题意，故选A。

【2】推理判断题。根据“Tests found that the sheep can map the area they live in, and some may even be able to plan ahead.” 测试发现，羊可以绘制他们居住的区域，有些甚至可以提前做出计划。可推知山羊可以找到它们的家。根据题意，故选B。

【3】细节理解题。根据“The information collected from 3,000 sites across 15 countries shows it may be caused by the loss (减少) of grasslands covered with flowers.” 从3000网站在15个国家收集的资料表明造成蝴蝶减少的原因是长满鲜花的草地减少。可知鲜花的减少使蝴蝶数量下降。根据题意，故选C。

An American man may have a solution for those barefoot kids — a shoe that grows with the child. Kenton Lee is the creator of The Shoe That Grows. He explains how the shoe works and how it is able to last so long.

“It grows in three places: the front; it can also grow on the side with Velcro; and on the back with our buckle. It can last up to five years. The bottom is compressed rubber like tire rubber. The top is just high-quality leather.” The shoe comes in two sizes: small that fits children aged 4 to 9 and large for children aged 9 to 14.

Lee says he got the idea for the shoe while working as a volunteer in an orphanage in Kenya. “… and there was a little girl in a white dress walking next to me. And I just remember looking down and seeing how small her shoes were. They were just way too small for her feet. They were so small that she had to cut open the front of her shoes to let her toes stick out. And I just remember thinking, wouldn't it be nice if there were a pair of shoes that could grow with her feet?”

However, Lee says it was not easy to turn his idea into a reality. “I kept writing down I should do this because of this or because of that. All these reasons why it really was important for me to try to make the shoes that could grow and try to help.” Finally, in 2009 Lee founded a non-profit organization called Because International. In the office of Because International, Lee keeps a pair of his own shoes to help him remember his promise. “I told myself I would not get new shoes until the idea was done. So, those are the shoes that I wore for a little over five years.”

【1】Which of the following is the characteristic of the newly invented shoes?

A. They are more expensive.

B. They are not so comfortable.

C. They can grow with a child.

D. They come in different sizes.

【2】Who is this kind of newly invented shoes intended for?

A. All the teenagers.

B. Children aged 4 to 14.

C. Middle-aged women in Africa.

D. Senior citizens with low income.

【3】What does Para. 4 mainly talk about?

A. How the shoes work.

B. How Lee got his inspiration.

C. How to make the new shoes.

D. Where to order this kind of shoes.

【4】Why does Kenton Lee keep a pair of his own shoes in the office?

A. To remind him of his promise.

B. To copy the design of them.

C. To get a change conveniently.

D. To use them as an example.

【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,最多不超过3个单词。

Alfred Nobel was born in Sweden and then moved to Russia with his parents in 1842, where his father made a strong position for 【1】 in the engineering industry, but unfortunately went bankrupt few years later. Nobel had never been to school 【2】 university, but had studied 【3】 (private) and became a skillful chemist and excellent linguist, 【4】 (speak) Swedish, Russian, German, French and English. Unlike his father, he had better luck in business and showed more 【5】 (finance) sense. He was quick to see industrial chances for his scientific inventions and 【6】 (build) up over eighty companies in twenty different countries. But his main concern was never with making money or even with making scientific 【7】 (discover). Instead, he was always searching for a 【8】 (mean) for life. In 1896, Nobel died in Italy.

【题目】“People are ruder today because they are rushed and more ‘time poor’ than ever before,” says Patsy Rowe, “Manners have fallen off the radar(雷达).” Due to our strong attraction to electronic equipment it is a wonder more people don’t wake up each morning and greet the singing birds with a complaint about the noise. Here are some examples of rudeness.

Some people prefer to do almost everything over the internet. To them, dealing with an actual human is like an evolutionary step backward. It feels very slow because humans don’t work at 4G speeds. When you have dinner with friends, you will often notice someone paying more attention to his mobile phone. We have programmed ourselves to think that every new message brings life-changing news, so taking calls and checking our texts are more important than talking to the people we are with. What is worse, some people even tend to send anonymous（匿名的） rude messages by email.

However, rudeness is never acceptable. Don’t assume it is OK to be rude if the person you’re in touch with won’t recognize you. If you have something awful to say, have the courage to face the person and say it, write a letter or email and sign it, or forget it. Upsetting people with unsigned messages is cruel and annoying.

We shouldn’t blame technology for our shortcomings. Technology is here to help us, but we should not allow it to take over our lives. An important step is admitting our shortcomings. People spend a lot of time pointing out bad manners but it would be even more helpful if we’d publicly recognize good manners when we see them.

【1】What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1?

A. People can tell good from bad behavior.

B. Radar is able to observe human behavior.

C. People care little about their behavior.

D. Radar can be used to predict human behavior.

【2】Some people are less willing to deal with humans because ________.

A. they are becoming less patient

B. they are growing too independent

C. they have to handle many important messages

D. they have to follow an evolutionary step backward

【3】The author thinks sending unsigned awful messages is ________.

A. ridiculousB. hatefulC. acceptableD. reasonable

【4】What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. We should praise good behavior.

B. Technology can never be blamed.

C. We should keep pointing out mistakes.

D. Technology will take over our lives one day.

【题目】Learning a second language

Nowadays, more and more people are learning a second language. So why should we spend time learning a second language? 【1】. Let us see.

If your work involves regular contact with speakers of foreign languages, being able to talk to them in their own language will help you to communicate with them better.【2】 Knowledge of foreign languages may also increase your chances of finding a new job, getting a promotion or a transfer overseas, or of going on foreign business trips.

Travel

Being able to speak a foreign language, for example, the Japanese language, would benefit you greatly should you be traveling to Japan.【3】 If you are fond of tourism, then knowledge of the local language is a must-have to avoid bad experiences or discomfort.

【4】

If you are a high school student who is interested in going abroad for further education, then you will have to learn the language of the country which you wish to move to. In some countries, being able to speak that country’s national language is a must for students wishing to pursue (继续) education there.

Personal growth

Learning a second language can help in broadening one’s horizons(视野). It can help in learning about the culture of that particular country.【5】 Not only can you enjoy different forms of art and literature relating to the new language, but you can also meet new people, make new friends and develop long-lasting relationships.

A. Education
