【题目】The demands of the modern world are growing day by day and this is putting more pressure on scientists to do research. However, as stated by Griffiths, “There is no hope of doing perfect research”. Naturally, there have been a lot of criticisms (批评), as many scientists immediately announce that their research methods are very safe and that they have the perfect research theory (理论).

However, scientific history is filled with examples, in which a perfect scientific solution that was based on decades of scientific research has been overturned (推翻) with new theories. Naturally the first example that comes to mind is the fact that Newton’s Theories were thought to be very safe and they were used in all fields of science. For centuries, thousands of scientists around the world used Newton’s Theories to formulate (规划) other theories.

However, after nearly two centuries of use, Newton’s Theories were found to be not as perfect as they were thought. Through Einstein’s publication on the General Theory of Relativity, it was found that Newton’s laws were imperfect in explaining all motions (运动) that were taking place in our universe. It was found to be imperfect under some conditions, even though, Newton’s laws are still used today to predict motion at low speeds.

Thus, perfect research is only a myth (神话). Of course, this does not mean that a scientist should simply give up and accept imperfection in his or her research efforts. Improvements and changes in research techniques and methods are a natural part of evolution (进化) and it is each scientist’s responsibility to take it forward as much as possible.

While the final answer to the universe’s questions may never exist, a time will come when there will be fewer questions as new answers are found and more improved research is carried out by scientists around the world.

【1】Why have there been a lot of criticisms?

A. The modern world demands mor e and more.

B. Scientists have a negative attitude.

C. Many scientists arrive at their conclusions (结论) too fast.

D. Griffiths does not believe what scientists say.

【2】Through the publication of the General Theory of Relativity, Newton’s Theories turned out to be ______.

A. not so perfect B. completely wrong C. very safe D. very exact

【3】What will scientists do to deal with the “imperfectness” problem?

A. Accept the fact and give up.

B. Improve and change their methods and techniques.

C. Try their best to carry out the perfect study.

D. Ignore it and do as they please.

【4】We can learn from the last paragraph that ______.

A. the universe’s questions are sure to have a final answer

B. the number of questions is sure to increase with the passing of time

C. scientists are carrying out improved studies

D. there will be more scientists in the world in the future

【题目】Taking a photo of your food and posting it online is becoming more and more popular. However, not everyone thinks it’s such a good idea.

Food photos are popular on social networking sites. People often post pictures of their meals on Facebook or photo sites such as Tumblr and Instagram. Many of the pictures are of delicious-looking food from top-class restaurants. Some people even find it addictive（上瘾的）. “I couldn’t get enough of it. I had to IG (instagram) every single meal,” one food poster wrote.

However, not all food photos are so attractive. There are now sites where you can post pictures of terrible-looking food. One such website is saddesklunch.com. Users send pictures of their depressing meals, which include things such as half-eaten bits of chicken and leftover pizza.

Sad Desk Lunch was created by office worker Kira Fisher in 2012. At the time, she was working as a video editor in New York. “I was starting at my rather terrible vegetable soup, which I was eating at my desk, and just thought, I can’t believe I’m eating this soup, let alone eating it alone at my desk,” she said. Other similar sites include cooksuck.com, foodporndairy.com and dimlyiitmealsforone. Tumblr.com.

Some chefs are trying to stop people photographing food in their restaurants. Gilles Goujon runs a three-star restaurant in southern France. He told news website France TV Info that every time his creations appear on social networks it “takes away the surprise, and a little bit of my intellectual property（知识产权）”.

Alexandre Gauthier is the chef at the “Grenouillere” restaurant a “no camera” logo on his menus. “Before, people took pictures of their family in the restaurant; now we take pictures of food... We tweet, we ‘like’（点赞）, we respond to comments, and the dish is cold,” he explained.

Will you be taking your camera next time you eat out?

【1】On which of the following websites can you probably find photos of tasty food?

A. cooksuck.com B. instagram.com

C. saddesklunch.com D. foodporndairy.com

【2】What’s Gilles Goujon’s attitude towards food photography in restaurants?

A. He dislikes it. B. He supports it.

C. He is interested in it. D. He is uncertain about it.

【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。

From Monday to Friday, most people are busy working or studying, but in the evenings and on weekends they are free to relax and enjoy 【1】 (they). Some watch TV 【2】 go to the cinema. Others take part in sports. There are many different ways 【3】 (spend) their spare time.

Almost everyone has some kind of hobbies. It may be anything from collecting stamps to 【4】 (make) model airplanes. Some hobbies are expensive, 【5】 others don’t cost anything at all. Some 【6】 (collect)

are worth a lot of money. Others are valuable only to the owners.

I know 【7】 man who has a coin collection worth $250. He was very happy about his purchase and 【8】 (think) the price was reasonable. On the other hand, my youngest brother collects matchboxes. He has almost 600 of them but I doubt if they are worth any money. However, to my brother they are 【9】 (extreme) valuable. Nothing makes him 【10】 (happy) than to find a new matchbox for his collection.

This is what a hobby means, I guess. It is something we like to do in our spare time simply for fun. The value in dollars is not important. We do it for the pleasure it gives.

【题目】Autumn means different things to different people. “It all depends on your personality，” said British naturalist Richard Mabey. “Personality shapes your view of the season，” he said. “You may see it as a fading-away，a packing-up (结束)，or as a time of packing in another sense—the exciting gathering of resources before a long journey.”

If this is true，perhaps it tells us a little about，for instance，Thomas Hood，the 19th Century English poet. About November，he wrote：

No warmth，no cheerfulness，no healthful ease

No shade，no shine，no butterflies，no bees

November!

On the other hand，another English poet John Keats，already sensing he was seriously ill，was inspired by a late September day to pen one of the most famous poems in the English language—To Autumn. He wrote to a friend afterwards that there was something comforting and healing about it.

According to Richard Mabey，Keats has the biological evidence on his side. Autumn is not a time of slowing down，but a time of new beginnings and great movements of creatures. For example，just at the moment that Keats's “gathering swallows” (in To Autumn)are departing for Africa，millions of creatures are fleeing from the frozen north like Iceland，Greenland and Russia to winter along the east and south coasts of Britain. According to scientists，before falling，the leaves transfer their chlorophyll(叶绿素) and carbohydrates into the woody parts of the tree for safe keeping over winter. What remains is the natural antioxidants (防老剂) in the leaves: the yellow and orange carotenoids (类胡萝卜素)，and another protective chemical specially produced for autumn，the bright-red anthocyanin (花青素)．High colour is not a signal of deterioration (退化) and decline，but of detox (排毒的) ability and good health.

A century after Keats，the American poet Loren Eiseley wrote in his journal: “Suppose we saw ourselves burning-like maples in a golden autumn. And that we could break up like autumn leaves...dropping their substance like chlorophyll. Wouldn't our attitude towards death be different？”

【1】From Thomas Hood's poem，we may infer that ________.

A．he suffered a lot from cold November

B．he missed the shining summer days very much

C．he had a negative attitude towards autumn

D．he enjoyed butterflies and bees very much

【2】In autumn，leaves turn yellow before falling because ________.

A．they can't bear the freezing

B．they can't get enough water from the wood part

C．chlorophyll and carbohydrates have been lost through leaves

D．chlorophyll and carbohydrates have come back to the wood part

【3】From the passage we can learn that ________.

A．autumn has different faces in different people's eyes

B．John Keats was a good biologist as well as a poet

C．all creatures move from the cold north to Britain for winter

D．the three poets were only known for their poems about autumn

【4】Which word can best describe Loren Eiseley's attitude towards autumn?

A．Fearful.B．Optimistic.C．Doubtful.D．Realistic.

This morning，my neighbor called me and asked me 【1】(anxious)，“Are your dogs missing?”

I was filled with 【2】 (nervous)and immediately made a phone call to my wife，and then I replied with relief，“No．They 【3】 (stay)at home．”My neighbor is a sweet，kind and generous girl with 【4】 old—fashioned heart and spirit．She bakes cookies and shares them with neighbors．Today she found two small dogs walking down the street，【5】 she brought them home．

I then suggested places where she could report the【6】 (miss)dogs．“Most people wouldn’t do anything about them，”I said，“Many cars and people passed by them this morning，ignoring them．You did the right thing．”

I went outside to look for someone 【7】 might be walking down the street，and I expected to hear the distant cry of someone【8】 (call)the dogs’names．But no one did this．

If I were lost，I would hope someone would come 【9】 (1ook)for me．If I were crying alone．I would hope that someone would stop and wipe away my tears．Why not give a little love 【10】dogs and other creatures?

【题目】In a time when a dangerous number of people are overweight, many people seem to have forgotten the most important way to keep healthy and slim---exercise. And as a new study carried out on mice in the lab has shown, exercise done early in life can reward you in your adult years.

A team of researchers at the University of California studied the effects of early exercise on adult physical activity, body mass and eating. They found that early-age exercise in mice has positive effects on adult levels of voluntary exercise in addition to reducing body mass.

“These results may have an effect on the importance of regular physical education in elementary and middle schools,” said Theodore Garland, a professor of biology, who led the research project. “If kids exercise regularly through their school years, then they may be more likely to exercise as adults, which could have far-reaching positive effects on human health and well-being.”

Although the positive effects of early-life exercise lasted for only one week, it is important to note that one week in the life of a mouse is the same as about nine months for humans. “Our results suggest that any positive effects of early-life exercise on adult exercise will need to be kept up if they are to be long-lasting.”

His team of researchers found, too, that all mice that had access to early exercise were lighter in weight than non-exercised mice.

Garland explained that, in general, exercise will stimulate appetite sooner or later. However, it is possible that certain types of exercise, done for certain periods of time or at certain light levels, might not stimulate appetite much, if at all, at least in some individuals.

“If we could understand what sorts of exercise these might be, then we might be able to tailor exercise recommendations in a way that would bring the benefits of exercise without increase in appetite, leading to a better chance of weight loss,” he said.

【1】How long do the positive effects of early-life exercise last for a mouse?

A. One day B. One week

C. One month D. Nine months

【2】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?

A. More study is needed to better understand the effects of different types of exercise.

B. Early-life exercise has life-long positive effects on people

C. Kids should be encouraged to do exercise as early as possible to ensure physical health.

D. The new study on mice mainly focused on how exercise affects appetite.

【3】The underlined word “stimulate” in the last but one paragraph is closest in meaning to _______.

A. decline B. improve C. vary D. harm

【4】 What is the article mainly about?

A. New ways to fight against being overweight.

B. The positive effects of mice

C.The possible risks of doing exercise

D. The positive effects of early- life exercise.

【题目】While astronauts in space get to do many exciting things, they miss out on ordinary things that we all take for granted—being able to walk on firm ground, hanging out with family and digging into a slice of hot steaming pizza. Though not much can be done about the first two things, there may soon be a solution to the third one, thanks to this cool 3-D pizza printer!

About a year ago, NASA offered $125,000 to Anjan Contractor, a 3-D technology expert, to build a device that would allow astronauts to make pizza on demand. The mechanical engineer promised that his invention would produce pies in large quantities that looked, tasted and even smelled like pizza made in common ovens.

Late last year, the engineer presented a video of his first prototype (原型) that begins by creating a single slice of dough (面团) that is cooked and printed at the same time. Then comes the tomato “sauce”—a mix of tomato powder, oil and water and finally, a protein slice that resembles cheese. While the video doesn’t show the baking process, the inventor says that once the pizza is printed, it can be ready to be consumed (消耗) in 7 seconds.

While the pie in the video looks delicious enough to attract any pizza lover, Anjan Contractor is far from ready for astronauts. That’s because he still has to find a solution to make the food container in the printer last for 30 years. Though that may sound unrealistic, actually it is not. Anjan Contractor believes that the only way that is possible is that the water is removed from all the ingredients and then they are reduced to the powder form. This, as you can imagine, will not be so easy. But, while the printer may not be ready for space, it certainly looks ready enough for people on earth. Hopefully, NASA and Contractor will consider selling it to those not fortunate enough to go to Mars!

【1】Why does the author mention the things that astronauts in space cannot do?

A. To ask us not to take common things for granted.

B. To show they live a difficult life there.

C. To show their life is boring in space.

D. To introduce the topic of the text.

【2】NASA offered $125,000 to Anjan Contractor mainly to ________.

A. create some new type of 3-D printer

B. attract more companies to work for NASA

C. help astronauts in space enjoy fresh pizza one day

D. produce pizza in large quantities to earn great profits

【3】The biggest challenge that Anjan Contractor is faced with now is probably that ________.

A. he has no money left to go on with his research

B. the pizza doesn’t seem appetizing to pizza lovers

C. he has no way to make pizza that can last for thirty years

D. he cannot make the food container last for decades

【4】What’s the best title of the passage?

A. NASA is trying its best to help astronauts eat better

B. Astronauts may soon be able to enjoy steaming hot pizza

C. NASA is working on making pizza for common people

D. A 3-D pizza printer has been used to make pizza
