【题目】Many of us have a certain pose for photos, but have you ever noticed which side you naturally turn?

According to US science writer Sam Kean, people tend to turn to the right and show the left side of their faces.

That might be because the left side of our faces looks better than our right side. This may have something to do with our brain. The right side of the brain, which controls the left side of the body, deals more with emotions. So the left half of faces are often more expressive(富有表现力的), The Atlantic reported.

During studies, it is found that more than 60 percent of famous paintings since the 14th century showed people’s left side of the face.

But when it comes to self-portraits, artists have traditionally drawn themselves from the right.

Yet this doesn’t mean the left side phenomenon(现象) is wrong. As Professor Marco Bertamini from Liverpool University explained, self-portraits are usually painted through a mirror. For example, if an artist shows his left side to a mirror, and draws what he can see, the final picture on the paper would show the head facing to the right.

The front-facing camera on smart phones works the same way as a mirror. When people take selfies(自拍照) using a front-facing camera, most of them take a photo with their head facing to the right.

“Our results show that a preference(偏爱) for self-portraits showing one’s left side, even if this appears as a right face in the mirror-reversed(反转的)display,”Bertamini told The Guardian.

Next time, when you take a photo, remember to show your better side to the camera.

A. It’s much easier for us to make a pose.??? B. It makes people look more natural on photos.

C. The left side of our faces looks better.??? D. The left side of our faces look friendlier.

【2】From Paragraph 3, we learn that __________.

A. the right side of the brain controls the right side of our faces

B. the right side of the brain deals with our emotions

C. the right side of our faces looks more expressive

D. our brain decides whether we look good or not

【3】Which of the following is TRUE?

A. Artists usually draw themselves from the left.

B. There is also the left side phenomenon in self-portraits.

C. The front-facing camera on smart phones doesn’t take good photos.

D. Bertamini tells people how to take better selfies.

【4】What does the article mainly talk about?

A. Where to take good photos.??? B. How the left side of the brain works.

C. How to draw yourself better.??? D. Why we show off the left side of our faces in photos.

【题目】Zoos are hugely popular attractions for adults and children alike. But are they actually a good thing?

Those people who are against zoos, would argue that animals often suffer（遭受痛苦）physically and mentally by being enclosed. Even the best man-made environments can’t come close to matching the space, diversity（多样性）, and freedom that animals have in their natural homes. This causes many zoo animals to become sick. Catching animals in the wild also causes much suffering by separating with dolphinh family. Some zoos make animals behave unnaturally. For example, ocean parks often force dolphins and whales to perform. These sea animals may die years earlier than their wild relatives.

On the other hand, by bringing people and animals together, zoos can educate the public about animal protection and encourage people to save animals and their homes. Some zoos provide a safe environment for animals which have been mistreated in circuses, or pets which have been given up and no longer wanted. Zoos also carry out important research into subjects like animal behavior and how to treat illness.

One of the most important modern functions of zoos is supporting international breeding（繁衍）programs, especially for endangered species（物种）. In the wild, some of the species have difficulty in finding mates and breeding, and they might also be hurt or even killed by people. A good zoo will enable these species to live and breed in a safe environment. In addition, as numbers of some wild species drop, there is an increased danger of populations becoming too genetically（基因上） similar. Breeding programs provide a safeguard: zoo-bred animals can be put into the wild to increase genetic diversity.

However, those people who are against zoos say that many zoo-bred animals are not put back into the wild. A lot of animals are sold not only to other zoos but also to circuses in the US or wild parks in South Aften, these some people are willing to pay a lot of money for the chance to kill a helpless animal. Often, where animals are familiar with humans and have very little chance of escaping.

So, are zoos good for animals or not? Perhaps it all depends on how well zoos are managed, and the benefits of zoos can surely outweigh their harmful effects. However, it is understandable that many people believe enclosing animals for any reason is simply wrong.

【1】According to Paragraph 2, some sea animals may die earlier than wild relatives because _____.

A. they were born in the ocean park

B. they don’t have enough living space

C. they are forced to behave unnaturally

D. they suffer from family separation

【2】What is the main purpose of international breeding program?

A. To increase genetic diversity.

B. To protect mistreated animals.

C. To free enclosed animals.

D. To do research on animal behavior.

【3】What’s the author’s opinion for zoos?

A. He doubts the value of zoos.

B. He is a true supporter of all kinds of zoos.

C. He is against the idea of having zoos around.

D. He sees the importance of the zoo management.

【题目】Do you know some great inventors and their inventions?

What factors (因素) are needed for their success?

Well, good timing for a start. You can have a great idea which the public simply doesn’t want ... yet. The Italian Giovanni Caselli invented the first fax(传真)machine in the 1860s. Although the machine was excellent, his invention quickly died a commercial(商业的) death. It was not until the 1980s that the fax became very common in every office... too late for Giovanni Caselli.

Money also helps. The Frenchman Denis Papin (1647-1712) had the idea for a steam engine (蒸汽机)almost a hundred years before the better-remembered Scotsman James Watt was even born... but he never had enough money to build one.

You also need to be patient (it took scientists nearly eighty years to develop a light bulb which actually worked)... but not too patient. In the 1870s, Elisha Gray, a professional inventor from Chicago, developed plans for a telephone. Gray saw it as no more than “a beautiful toy”. However, when he finally sent details of his invention to the Patent Office(专利局) in February， 1876, it was too late. Almost the same invention had arrived two hours earlier... and the young man who sent it, Alexander Graham Bell, will always be remembered as the inventor of the telephone.

Of course what you really need is a great idea—but if you haven’t got one, a walk in the country and careful look at nature can help. The Swiss scientist, George de Mestral, had the idea for Velcro（魔术贴）when he found his clothes covered in sticky seed pods after a walk in the country. During a similar walk in the French countryside some 250 years earlier, Rene Antoine Ferchault de Reaumur had the idea that paper could be made from wood when he found an abandoned wasps’ nest（蜂巢）.

You also need good commercial sense. Willy Higinbotham was a scientist doing nuclear（核能的） research in the Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, USA. In 1958, the public were invited to an exhibition in the Laboratory to see their work, but both parents and children were more interested in a tennis video game on the screen. Soon hundreds of people were ignoring the other exhibits to play the first ever computer game—made from a simple laboratory instrument called an “oscilloscope”. Higinbotham, however, never made money from his invention: he thought people were only interested in the game because the other exhibits were so boring!

【1】How many factors do inventors need according to the passage?

A. 3.??? B. 4.??? C. 5.??? D. 6.

【2】The word “ignoring” in the last paragraph probably means “_____”.

A. having no idea of??? B. doing no good to

C. getting no chance of??? D. paying no attention to

【3】What can you learn from the passage?

A. Giovanni Caselli invented the first fax machine in the 1980s.

B. Denis Papin afforded to build a steam engine a hundred years ago.

C. Elisha Gray missed the chance to be the inventor of the telephone.

D. George de Mestral got an idea from a walk in a French countryside.

【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A. How to be a successful inventor

B. How to get a great idea from nature

C. How to have a good commercial sense

D. How to make money from inventions
