Hotshot jet pilots are no match for cliff swallows. The birds rocket over bridges and skim over lakes，rushing forward at accelerations that would knock an Air Force. By tracking these contests with high-speed cameras，a new study gives the first，in-depth peek into avian aerodynamics (鸟类空气力学) in the wild. “The findings may even provide insight into how to design better micro air vehicles-tiny drones. This technology will be brilliantly useful，” says biomechanics expert Jim Usherwood of the United Kingdom's Royal Veterinary College in Hatfield. “High-resolution field studies like this have never been done before for birds. ”
For cliff swallows，the trouble starts when they return from wintering in South America to their summer homes in North America. After arrival，they seek out their old mud nests—usually located under concrete bridges and freeways—and start rebuilding their homes. But rather than hunt down a fresh supply of mud，some swallows prefer stealing supplies from their more hardworking neighbors. Others take things further and will even lay an egg or two in their neighbor's nest before taking off.
Battles in the air follow if the invaders are caught in the act，and a new study takes advantage of these fights to learn how birds perform high-speed maneuvers (演习) . The team placed three cameras along a North Carolina lake crossed by a highway bridge that houses several cliff swallow nests and waited for the battles to commence.
The team was surprised to learn that most of the time，chasers copied the move of fleeing invaders. Swallows also pull very hard turns to escape an enemy，with one extreme case reaching 7. 8 gravity. Fighter pilots usually pass out at about 5 or 6 gravity，which is why these experiments have earned interest，and partial funding，from the Office of Naval Research. The Navy may use the findings to build better guidance systems for micro air vehicles. However，the swallows' biomechanics are complex，and now the team is simply trying to collect a few tricks.
24. Why did the Usherwood carry out the studies
A. To guide a better design of air vehicles.
B. To prove the swallows are better at flying.
C. To experiment with its high-speed cameras.
D. To track how the swallows skim over lakes.
25. What leads to the battles among the birds
A. Sharing food.
B. Occupying others' nests.
C. Seizing mud for nesting.
D. Competing for the use of bridges.
26. Which can best replace the underlined word “commence” in Paragraph 3
A. Continue B. Accelerate
C. End D. Begin
27. What is the trick of the swallow to escape its enemy
A. Accelerating toward it.
B. Copying what its enemy do.
C. Making sharp turns during flight.
D. Seeking for help from its fellows.

John von Neumann was the oldest of 3 children of a banker，and his speed of learning new ideas and of solving problems stood out early. At 17，his father tried to persuade him not to become a mathematician because he may lead a poor life being a mathematician，and so von Neumann agreed to study chemistry as well. In 1926，at 23，he received a degree in chemical engineering and a Ph D in mathematics. From then on，mathematics provided well enough for him，and he never had to turn to chemistry.
In 1930，von Neumann visited Princeton University for a year and then became a professor there. His first book was published in 1932. In 1933，the Institute for Advanced Study was formed，and he became one of the 6 full-time people (Einstein was one of the others) in the School of Mathematics.
World War Ⅱ hugely changed von Neumann's areas of interest. Until 1940 he had been a great pure (纯粹的) mathematician. During and after the war，he became one of the best mathematicians who put mathematics theories into practice. During the last part of the war he became interested in computing machines and made several fundamental contributions. After the war，von Neumann continued his work with computers，and was generally very active in government service. He received many awards，was president of the American Mathematical Society and was a member of the Atomic Energy Commission. He died in 1957 of cancer.
Von Neumann made several great contributions and any one of them would have been enough to earn him a firm place in history. He will be remembered as one of the greatest minds of the 20th century.
Von Neumann really was a legend (传奇) in his own time，and there are a number of stories about him. His driving ability is a part of this legend. He reported one accident this way，“I was driving down the road. The trees on the right were passing me in an orderly fashion at 60 miles per hour. Suddenly one of them stepped in my path. ”
28. According to the text，von Neumann's father believed that .
A. a mathematician couldn't earn a lot of money
B. a mathematician needed a good memory
C. von Neumann had the ability to learn two subjects at the same time
D. von Neumann had a gift for solving problems at a high speed
29. Von Neumann published his first book at the age of .
A. 23 B. 26 C. 29 D. 32
30. How did World War Ⅱ affect John von Neumann
A. He realized the importance of engineering.
B. He began to research how to put mathematics into practice.
C. He left college and served at the government department.
D. He lost interest in chemistry.
31. From the last paragraph，we can infer John von Neumann was .
A. calm B. brave C. intelligent D. humorous
D
There's a good chance something you've bought online has been in the hands of a “picker” first. These are the workers in warehouses (仓库) who pick，pack and ship all those things we're ordering.
At Amazon and other companies，they're working side by side with robots. Experts say while the robots are replacing some human workers，the machines aren't quite ready to take over completely.
When a robot finds its storage unit，it slides underneath，lifts it up and then delivers it to a worker—they're called pickers. On a recent day，the computer told a picker to grab what looked like a fantasy board (棋盘) game. The picker found it，canned it and placed it on the conveyor belt.
“In a traditional fulfillment center where the associate would walk to the different items，it can take hours to fulfill a customer order. ” Robinson says.
Now，with the help of robots，that task takes minutes—and fewer humans.
So is this a sign we're entering a new industrial revolution
“It's definitely going to take over a lot of jobs. ” says Karen Myers，a scientist at SRI，one of Silicon Valley's oldest research centers.
At the same time，she says，we're running against the limits of technology. Take “the picker” at the Amazon fulfillment center. Myers says those skills are proving to be uniquely human.
“Our fingers are incredibly flexible and the current generation of robotic operators are getting much，much better，” she says. “But they're just not quite there yet. ”
There's also the robot's brain.
Remember that board game the Amazon worker was looking for She could barely see the box filled into the storage bin—but she could tell it was a board game. Robots can't do that.
Technologists say that，increasingly，humans will work side by side with robots—instead of robots working alone.
Amazon says robots and humans enabled the Tracy warehouse to fulfill customer orders faster. That means more customers and more human workers.
32. A picker does some tasks except .
A. picking goods B. producing goods C. spotting goods D. packing goods
33. With the help of robots，some tasks are .
A. more efficient B. less straight C. more difficult D. less profitable
pared with robots，humans are more .
A. powerful B. artificial C. flexible D. energetic
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Robots replacing humans completely B. The advantages of shopping online
C. The future of robots D. Robots and humans working side by side

阅读并从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,其中有两项为多余选项。
How to improve your studies scientifically
Our brain can possibly memorize 2. 5 petabytes (千兆) of information. In order to use some of that surprising capacity (能力) a little more effectively when you learn，here are some tips that are based on widely-accepted research by learning experts.
36
Some enjoy watching videos over reading books，others study with friends，and some like sitting in silence among a million books. Everybody is different.
Hard things first
37 ，so do the things that are difficult first. Once you are done with the hard things，you will feel better for the rest of the day，and probably more motivated to get other things done.
Space (分隔开) your studies
38 . Facts or vocabularies，for example，are best learned if you review them the first time one to two days after the study，and then again after one week，and after one month.
Instant self-test
After your study，finish up with a quick quiz. Immediate recall in the form of a test or a short summary on what you've just learned can increase retention (记忆力) by as much as 30%. 39 ，that extra effort creates deeper traces (痕迹) in your memory.
Don't force it
Motivation is like hunger. You cannot force yourself to be motivated，just like you can't tell someone else to be hungry. So，if you are not hungry right now，don't worry. 40 .
A. Take fun seriously
B. Find your own style
C. Take a break，and do something else
D. Good memory can grow your brain's potential
E. Because it's much harder for your brain to remember than to read
F. Like most people you have the strongest willpower in the morning
G. To remember things for a longer time，repeat the material after taking several breaks

67. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Having held the interschool storytelling championship for the past two years, I was the shining star of my school. When it came to choosing the right candidate to participate in such competitions, I was always the first choice. Naturally, I was once again selected to represent my school in the approaching contest this year.
Upon hearing the fact that I was chosen again, my classmates and friends acknowledged that I would undoubtedly emerge as the champion again. Consequently, I became conceited. I was so proud that I neglected the importance of practicing for the contest.
A week before the contest, my teacher Ms. Sara asked, “Selena, would you like to stand in front of the class to rehearse for the contest ” She had tutored me in the past two competitions and knew how important practice was. “Just imagine you are on the stage in the presence of the audience,” she added.
“I’m sorry, Ms. Sara,” I replied. “I have a bit of a sore throat.”
This was usually the lie I would tell whenever my teacher requested me to practice in front of the class. I always found excuses to avoid doing it because I believed that I was the best and therefore the practice was unnecessary. On one occasion, I even told Ms. Sara not to worry too much as I was well prepared for the contest. In fact, I did everything but practice my script. I only managed to glance briefly through the story the day before the contest. As the best storyteller among the students of the local secondary schools, I was too vain to practice and expected everything to be fine.
The contest was being held in the local community hall. On the day of the contest, the hall was packed. My school teachers and principal were there along with many of my classmates and schoolmates. I was the eighth contestant out of twenty in total. Those who spoke before me did extremely well. On seeing their fascinating and outstanding performance, I began to lose confidence in myself. My palms sweated heavily and I started to feel nervous.

应用文写作66
Last summer vacation, I took a tour of the Old Town of Lijiang in Yunnan, home to the ancient Dongba culture.
I walked around the town, enjoying the local culture and attractions such as the big water wheels, the classic Naxi dance on Square Street, and the amazing Dongba writing system. “Tian Yu Liu Fang”, which means “Let's read” in the Naxi language, inspires me most as it conveys Naxi people's love and respect for knowledge.
I was fascinated by the Old Town of Lijiang, where nature and human wisdom coexist in harmony with each other.
读后续写67
Soon, it was my turn to talk. Facing the crowd, I found myself suffering from stage fright. I spoke in an expressionless voice and even stuttered a few times as I forgot parts of the story. My legs trembled and so did my voice. On seeing my terrible performance, the judges shook their heads. The supporters from my school looked at me in disappointment. I have never been so embarrassed in my life. In the end, I walked off the stage, my eyes filled with tears.
Finally, results were announced after the contest. I didn’t win any prizes—not even a consolation one. It was not surprising at all. I felt ashamed when I faced my classmates and of course, Ms. Sara. I regretted underestimating my opponents and overestimating myself. My vanity had cost me the championship. I now regretted being so arrogant. I had learned my lesson well and finally understood the meaning of the two sayings, “Pride goes before a fall.” and “Practice makes perfect.”

A Dangerous Living
A red car comes roaring around a street comer chasing a blue car into oncoming traffic. Other cars try to dodge them Suddenly，the red car loses control，spins and then rolls over and over before coming to a stop on its hood The blue car speeds away.“Cut！”yells the director. A man climbs out of the red car and walks away unhurt；another successful stunt completed.
But too often stunt performers don't walk away from their stunts unhurt Last September，British stuntman Richard Hammond nearly died when his jet-powered car crashed while going 280 mph Even though stunt performers plan each stunt carefully，considering both risk and safety，one small miscalculation can severely injure or kill a stunt performer.
Who wants such a dangerous job Lots of people，according to stuntman Peter Hassell. He says about 10，000 people a year try to break into the stunt industry in Los Angeles. Few make it. About 600 people-10-20 percent are women-work in the LA stunt industry，but only 200 make a full-time living at it. All newcomers must compete against these very talented, experienced people.
