5．Can you change your personality significantly？For example，if you are shy，can you turn yourself into an outgoing person who never gets stage fright when speaking in public？It's certainly not easy，but experts say it is possible．
First of all，you will never stay the same person．The Times reports several research studies conducted over the past few years show a person's personality naturally changes over time in response to life events such as entering a committed relationship or advancing in the career．From the ages of 20to 65，people report increases in positive characteristics．Most people tend to become more agreeable，more responsible，more emotionally stable．Their personalities improve as they mature．
When researchers talk about"personality"，they mean"characteristic pattern of thinking，feeling and behaving that is consistent over time and across situations，"says Christopher Soto，a research psychologist in Britain，who also mentioned that personality is about 50percent born and 50percent learned．
Psychologists usually divide human personality into 5models：openness，conscientiousness（尽责），agreeableness，neuroticism（神经质）and outgoingness．Some personality types are more successful than others．Accordingly，even small changes in a person's personality can produce important effects on relationships，career，health and happiness．But change takes time．And people need to start by changing the behavior and then，if that new behavior can be maintained over time，it gets settled．
Where do we start？"First，we have to recognize which pieces of our personality affect us，"says Richard Levak，a well-known personality expert．"If I am always getting fired because I get into arguments with co-workers，and always blame others，then I have to realize that I have to change something．"
"Don't set your expectations too high．Be patient．It's important to start small．"Warren Kennaugh，a behavioral expert in Australia says．"You also should let a friend or relative know what you're doing．Not only can they be supportive，but a change for you can also mean a change for them．"
32．We can learn from the 2nd and 3rd paragraphs thatC．
A．a small part of one's personality is born with them
B．personality changes significantly in childhood
C．personality can be changed because of life events
D．positive personality changes take place before 65
33．The underlined part means that to your friends or relatives，D．
A．your personality change will not be successful without their support
B．they should be told beforehand to prepare for your personality change
C．your personality change will be a model for them to follow
D．they may change their personality in the same way you do
34．According to the passage，personality change needsA．
a．proper time                b．appropriate self-awareness
c．strong determination        d．high expectations
A．a，b          B．b，c          C．a，d            D．d，c
35．What's the tone of the passage？D
A．Unclear．B．Doubtful．C．Humorous．D．Objective．

3．

Mapping Antarctica
Antarctica was on the map long before anyone ever laid eyes on it．Nearly 2，400years ago，ancient Greek philosophers such as Aristotle believed that a great continent must exist at the bottom of the world．They thought it was needed to balance out the continents at the top of the world．In the 1500s，mapmakers often included a fanciful continent they referred to as Terra Incognita （Latin for"unknown land"） at the bottom of their maps．But it was not until the 1800s----after explorers had sighted and set foot on Antarctica----that mapmakers got down to the business of really mapping the continent，which is one-and-a-half times the size of the U．S．．
While the coastline could be mapped by ships sailing around the continent，it took airplanes----and later，satellites----to chart Antarctica's vast interior （内陆）．That job continues today．And it is a job that can still require a mapmaker，or cartographer，to put on boots and head out into the wild．
Cole Kelleher is familiar with that．He is a cartographer with the Polar Geospatial Center （PGC），which is based at the University of Minnesota and has a staff at McMurdo Station．PGC teamed up with Google to use the company's Trekker technology to capture images of Antarctica for the Internet giant's popular feature，Street View．A Trekker camera，which is the size of a basketball，is set about two feet above a backpack．The camera records images in all directions．"It weighs about 50pounds．I was out for two and a half days，hiking 10to 12hours each day，"says Kelleher．It was hard work，but really an incredible experience．"According to Kelleher there are plans to use the technology to create educational apps for museums．

The PGC staff at McMurdo Station provides highly specialized mapmaking services for the U．S．Antarctic Program．For one project，Kelleher used satellite images to map huge cracks in the ice．That helped a team of researchers know whether they could safely approach their field camp on snowmobiles．Another recent project was to help recover a giant，high-tech helium （氦气） balloon used to carry scientific instruments high into the atmosphere．These balloons are launched in Antarctica because there is no danger that they will hurt anyone when they fall back down to Earth．Using satellite images，Kelleher and colleagues created maps of where the balloon could be found．
Antarctica may no longer be Terra Incognita，but it still holds countless mysteries．Cartographers and the maps they make will continue to be essential in helping scientists unlock those secrets．

A．mapmakers knew it was much larger than the U．S．
B．Aristotle named the continent Terra Incognita
C．no one had ever seen or been to the continent

D．Antarctic is a vast but still mysterious continent．
76．The Polar Geospatial Center （PGC） works with Google initiallyA．
A．to capture images of Antarctica for Street View
B．to test the company's Trekker technology
C．to create educational apps for museums
D．to hike for an incredible experience

A．satellite images which are used to map huge cracks in the ice
B．a high-tech helium balloon for carrying scientific instruments

7．My dearest son and daughter，
    The story of New Jersey high school student Rachel Canning suing （起诉） her parents for child support and high school education inspired me to write you a little letter．Let me just put this out there：the only way I expect to see you in a court is as a lawyer or a judge．
    There are two things about this case that seem to be disaster．
    First，it's natural for parents and children to argue．I can guarantee that we will disagree．One or both of you will，at some point，scream at the top of your lungs the various ways you hate me．And I won't always li ke you，either．But I will always love you and do everything I can to keep your best interests as my focus，even when I'm so angry．We are family．That means we are as much a part of one another as the flesh，blood and bones in our body．And we all should think about it very deeply instead of breaking that bond．
Second，I'll be honest，no matter how far apart we are on your life choices，your father and I will most certainly pay everything we can for your higher education．But that doesn't mean you deserve it．To be clear，that is a privilege we happily extend （给予） to you-not a right you are born with．And you will have to work hard to earn that privilege．Growing up is hard work．
    If I do my job properly as your mother-and you do yours as my children-you would sooner get a job or two，and find a way to make your dreams come true than go to trial over what you think you have the right to．
Love always，
  Mom

4．The world shares him and London claims him，but Stratford-on-Avon intends to spend 2016 celebrating Shakespeare as their man：the bard（诗人）of Avon，who was born there in 1564，and died there 400years ago．
Stratford remained hugely important throughout Shakespeare's life，argues Paul Edmondson，the head of learning and research at the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust．
"People have seen Shakespeare as a Dick Whittington figure，who turns his back on Stratford and his family，goes to London to earn his fortune and only comes back to die，"
he said．"But Stratford is where he bought land and property，where he kept his library，
where he lived and read and thought．We are going to spend the year re-emphasizing the importance of Shakespeare，the man of Stratford．"
The anniversary of the death of the most famous and the most performed playwright in the world will be marked across Britain and the globe．Macbeth is about to open in Singapore，Romeo and Juliet in Brussels．Shakespeare's Globe is completing the first world tour，in which it has taken Hamlet to almost every country．North Korea is still holding out，though．
The Globe director recently jokily claimed Shakespeare as a true Londoner．Stratford，
however，will be insisting that the town made and educated Shakespeare．"His old school
room in Stratford-on-Avon where Shakespeare learned‘small Latin and less Greek'-as kindly laughed at by his friend Ben Jonson-will open its doors，scarred by centuries of naughty schoolboys，to mark 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death，"said Paul Edmondson．
Shakespeare bought the splendid New Place，the second best house in the town，when he had made his fortune on the London stage．"You don't buy a house like New Place and not live there，"Paul said．He believes that after Shakespeare bought it，all his thinking time was spent there，and that the late plays，including The Tempest，were at least planned in his library and probably written there．

28．What made people regard Shakespeare as a Dick Whittington figure？A
A．His life experiences．
B．His achievements in literature．
C．His popularity in London．
D．His contributions to Stratford．
29．Where is the play Hamlet resisted？C
A．In Brussels．
B．In Singapore．
C．In North Korea．
D．In London．
30．What can we know about New Place？D
A．The Tempest was totally finished there．
B．Shakespeare learned Latin and Greek there．
C．It was completely destroyed by naughty schoolboys．
D．Shakespeare probably spent his last few years there．
31．What can be a suitable title for the text？B
A．Bard of London
B．Man of Stratford
C．Life of Shakespeare
D．Plays of Shakespeare．

17．The story of Juno and Lucas is one of the mos t touching stories about the amazing relationship between humans and their companion animals．
Juno is a Belgian Malinois（比利时马犬）．The dog was beautiful but was given up by its owners，as they did not want to take on the responsibility．
Lucas，a little boy，had a strange illness，a condition that stops the body's ability to process enzymes（酶）．As his life continues，he will lose the ability to speak and his physical and mental abilities will degrade till he is left in a vegetative（植物人的）state．The average life expectancy for the patients is 15 years．
Chester，the boy's father，wanted his child to enjoy his life on earth as much as possible and looked into getting a service dog for the child．However，Lucas wasn't a good candidate due to his deteriorating（恶化的）abilities，not to mention the $15，000 cost of the animal．
Not terrified by all of this，Chester looked into adopting a dog for his son．He found Juno on a website and drove two hours to meet her．Chester had worked with the breed（品种） in the police force and was familiar with how to train them．He put in patience and hard work，and trained Juno while allowing her to become accustomed to Lucas．Now，not only will Juno not leave Lucas'side，she is also helping with his illness．Chester said，"She has the ability to notice his neurological changes．Now she reminds us when Lucas is about to have a seizure（疾病发作） or if his oxygen levels drop really low．She has saved him several times．"
Companion animals are beautiful things and they establish a bond that can't be described without experiences．I know that I held my adopted dog a little closer after hearing this story．There are a lot of dogs out there that need good homes and that won't be as lucky as Juno．So，if you think you're prepared，you should consider giving one a nice home．
