Who is a genius This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries.
Let's state clearly: Einstein was a genius. His face is almost the international symbol for genius. But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself. Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us And who are they
In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniuses were most often white men, of European origin. Perhaps this is not a surprise. It's said that history is written by the victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club—women, or people of a different color or belief—they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.
A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six, girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender(性别) are "really, really smart." Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief: Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are "really, really smart." Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up It doesn't take a genius to know the answer: absolutely not.
Here's the good news. In a wired world with constant global communication, we're all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear. And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors(因素) like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with "intelligence, creativity, perseverance(毅力), and simple good fortune, who are able to change the world."
24.What does the author think of victors' standards for joining the genius club
A.They're unfair. B.They're conservative.
C.They're objective. D.They're strict.
25.What can we infer about girls from the study in Science
A.They think themselves smart. B.They look up to great thinkers.
C.They see gender differences earlier than boys. D.They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs.
26.Why are more geniuses known to the public
A.Improved global communication. B.Less discrimination against women.
C.Acceptance of victors' concepts. D.Changes in people's social positions.
27.What is the best title for the text
A.Geniuses Think Alike B.Genius Takes Many Forms
C.Genius and Intelligence D.Genius and Luck

Coral reefs are some of the most diverse and valuable ecosystems on Earth. Coral reefs support more species per unit area than any other marine(海洋的)environment, including about 4,000 species of fish, 800 species of hard corals and hundreds of other species. Scientists estimate that there may be millions of undiscovered species living in and around reefs. This biodiversity is considered the key to finding new medicines for the 2lst century. Many drugs are now being developed from coral reef animals and plants as possible cures for cancer, viruses, and other diseases.
Healthy coral reefs support fisheries as well as jobs and businesses through tourism and recreation. About half of all managed fisheries depend on coral reefs and related habitats for a part of their life cycles. The National Marine Fisheries Service estimates the commercial value of U.S. fisheries from coral reefs is over $ 100 million. Local economies receive billions of dollars from visitors to reefs through diving tours, recreational fishing trips, hotels, restaurants, and other businesses based near reef ecosystems.
Coral reef structures also buffer(缓冲)shorelines against 97 percent of the energy from waves, storms, and floods, helping to prevent loss of life, and property damage. When reefs are damaged or destroyed, the absence of this natural barrier can increase the damage to coastal communities from normal wave action and violent storms. Several million people live in U.S. coastal areas near coral reefs. Some coastal development is required to provide necessary infrastructure(基础设施)for coastal residents and the growing coastal tourism industry.
Despite their great economic and recreational value, coral reefs are severely threatened by pollution, disease, and habitat destruction. Once coral reefs are damaged, they are less able to support the many creatures that live on them and the communities near them. When a coral reef supports fewer fish, plants, and animals, it also loses value as a tourist destination.
28.Why is biodiversity important to medicines
A.It can reduce the prices of new medicines.
B.It can help make new medicines.
C.It can be used for medicines.
D.It can be used to cure diseases.
29.How do coral reefs protect shorelines
A.They protect people against sharks.
B.They completely avoid serious flooding.
C.They prevent people from being drowned.
D.They weaken most of the energy from waves.
30.What will happen if coral reefs are damaged
A.Most fish will die out.
B.There will be no large fish.
C.Coastal cities will attract fewer tourists.
D.The sea will be polluted.
31.What is the best title for the text
A.The Importance of Diverse Ecosystems
B.The Importance of Coral Reefs
C.The Environments of Coral Reefs
D.The Value of Biodiversity

So many things can keep you from seeing your loved ones in person. Fortunately, thanks to modern technology, the people we miss are often only a phone call or text message away. But according to science, if you want to feel more connected to the people you’re talking to, you should call them instead of texting.
A new study, published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology, found that communication interactions that included voice created stronger social relationships than communication through typing.
In the study, researchers conducted various experiments. In the first one, they asked 200 people to make predictions about what it’d be like to reconnect with an old friend by email or by phone and then assigned people at random to do one or the other. Although people expected that a phone call would be more awkward, hearing someone’s voice actually made the experience better.
“People reported they did form a significantly stronger bond with their old friend on the phone compared with email, and they didn’t feel more awkward,” said study co-author Amit Kumar.
In another experiment, the researchers had strangers connect by either texting, talking over video chat, or talking using only audio. They found that both forms of voice communication made the strangers feel much more connected than when they communicated via text.
Sabrina Romanoff, a Harvard psychologist, says people tend to text or email instead of calling because of convenience as they see it as a controlled form of communication where they can “respond to information exactly in the way they intend without unexpected additions by the other person”. However, in fact, texting can make it hard to determine the true meaning behind a conversation. “A phone call is actually more convenient when considering the real effects of the message,” she explains. “Each party is more present, and therefore, able to understand the meaning behind the content without thinking over the endless possible meanings behind words.”
32.Which is the best for building closer connections according to the new study
A.An email. B.A video chat. C.A text message. D.A letter.
33.What did the participants in the first experiment do
A.They made predictions on the others’ intentions.
B.They made random phone calls to some strangers.
C.They imagined the joy of hearing someone’s voice.
D.They predicted a phone call would be embarrassing.
34.Why does Sabrina Romanoff consider making phone calls convenient
A.It can improve your communication skills.
B.It proves a controlled form of communication.
C.It can make it easier to understand each other.
D.It avoids unexpected additions in conversations.
35.What can be a suitable title for the text
A.You Should Call Instead of Texting
B.Technology Builds More Connections
C.Communicate With Your Old Friends
D.Voice Communication Is Time-saving
第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
If you struggle with reading, then watching TV can certainly seem a lot easier.36______ But what benefits are you missing out on by not reading And what specifically are the benefits of reading compared to watching television or movies Here are reasons why you should read more books.
Reading improves your concentration.
Unlike blog posts and news articles, sitting down with a book takes long periods of focus and concentration, which at first is hard to do. Being fully engaged in a book includes closing off the outside world and burying yourself into the text. 37_______
Readers enjoy the arts and improve the world.
A study done by the NEA explains that people who read for pleasure are many times more likely (than those who don ‘t) to visit museums and attend concerts. 38______ And they are almost three times as likely to perform volunteer and charity work.
Reading improves your imagination.
39_____ The worlds described in books, as well as other people’s views and opinions, will help you expand your understanding of what is possible. By reading a written description of an event or a place, your mind is responsible for creating that image in your head, instead of having the image placed in front of you when you watch television.
40________
Books offer an outstanding wealth of learning and at a much cheaper price than taking a course. Reading gives you a chance to consume huge amounts of research in a relatively short amount of time. Heavy readers tend to display greater knowledge of how things work and who or what people were, which, in turn, leads to a quick mind.
A. Reading makes you smarter.
B. You are only limited by what you can imagine.
C. Over time, it will strengthen your concentration.
D. Subjects only need to read silently to reduce stress.
E. It certainly requires little effort from us but to relax.
F. Reading is not only fun, but it has all the added benefits.
G. Readers are active participants in the world around them.

After returning to the homeland, he often told the story to his family, and his employees, too. He said that this made a deep 58 on him, because an additional high “school “fees that he had ever paid made him realize the value of 59 , which he would 60 as the secret of his success forever.
