A
My dad was never ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the kind to offer many words of love or encouragement. But we knew he loved us. He just had his own way of showing it. 2·1·c·n·j·y
When I was a teen, we were seasonal campers(野营者)at a family campground almost an hour outside the city where we lived. Each family had their own campsite with water and electric, and you basically parked your camper there from May to October. Most “seasonals” visited them every weekend during those months, with the occasional week-long stay. There were plenty of other kids who camped seasonally each weekend, and they came to be some of my closest friends. Of course, many of them were boys. 21*cnjy*com
We kids paired up(结对)with our little boyfriends or girlfriends, and we’d hold hands as we walked around the campground. We’d play ping-pong, have some snacks, and sing songs. Most weekends were pretty similar, but the couples would change. You’d see so-and-so with a different so-and-so than they were with the weekend before. You know how it is when you’re a teen—a three-week relationship is a really long time. 【出处：21教育名师】
So, needless to s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ay, my teen years were spent with quite a few different boys. But every single one of them had something in common. They’d all received the Evil Eye.
The Evil Eye was a mag ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ical sort of thing. One simple look from my dad, and the boy immediately knew not to mess with me. It was as if he could send his warnings through invisible laser(激光)beams that shot directly from his eyes to the boys’ brains.
“You will not ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) put your hands on my daughter. You will not kiss my daughter. You will not even whisper sweet things into my daughter’s ear. ”21*cnjy*com
I remember one night in particular walking with a boy around the campground after dark. We came from one direction, and my dad from the other. The boy and my dad locked eyes for a brief second, then the boy dropped my hand like a hot potato and turned away, giving me a quick “See you later. ”
Yes, that’s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the Evil Eye: best way ever to keep wandering teen boys’ hands away from your daughter.
1. The Evil Eye in the passage implies that .
A. Dad gets angry easily
B. Dad’s eyes are evil
C. Dad’s eyes are ugly-looking
D. Dad’s eyes are protective to his daughter

C. get married to D. talk to
3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage 21·cn·jy·com
A. As teenagers, we went camping every weekend.
B. We made lots of friends during the seasonal camping. www.21-cn-jy.com
C. We had regular boyfriends or girlfriends and enjoyed ourselves.
D. The boy dropped ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )my hand and turned away because he loved the Evil Eye.
4. It can be inferred from the passage that the author .
A. is a teenage girl who loves her father
B. is a teenage boy who hates his father
C. is now an adult who has come to understand her father’s love
D. used to be a naughty boy who changed girlfriends now and then

“Just ate chicken feet for lunch. ”These were the words I wrote on my blog yesterday. By the next day there were hundreds of comments from my friends. They included “OH MY GOD! That is so disgusting(令人厌恶的)! ”, “What were they like ” and “Why can’t you eat sandwiches like everyone else ”
To Chinese people ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), chicken feet are a normal snack. To my friends in Britain, the thought of eating a chicken’s feet is weird(不可思议的). As weird, in fact, as eating a bullfrog(牛蛙), scorpion(蝎子), snake, or turtle. 21世纪教育网版权所有
But if there are two ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) things I love more than anything else in life, they are trying new things and food.
I arrived in Beiji ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng five months ago. Since then, I’ve searched for the “weirdest” foods so I can try them, then treat my friends to some “virtual eating”on my blog.
One weekend, I went ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to Wangfujing, Beijing’s “snack street”. The trip gave me tons of blog materials.
“I chose a stic ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )k with three live, wriggling scorpions on it, ”I wrote. “And it was pretty good. The scorpion was warm and crispy. The legs did have a tendency to get stuck between one’s teeth, however. What’s more, I am sure scorpion stung(蜇伤)me twice with its tail in revenge. ”
Next came snake: “A ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) bit like a cross between fish and chicken, with a slightly rubbery texture(弹性口感)and meaty taste. ”
Some people were actu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ally angry when I ate turtle soup—especially when I posted pictures showing the poor little guy’s head staring sadly up at us from the bowl. “I am never speaking to you again, ”wrote one former friend.
Still, I will continue my culinary quest(美食征程).
Next on my list is starfish, though I feel I should have some vegetables too—algae, maybe.
So what am I e ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ating, tonight, you may ask. Pizza. Well, a girl’s gotta have a break sometimes. 【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】

A
Scientists at Royal ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Holloway, University of London and Queen Mary, University of London have discovered that bees learn to fly the shortest possible route between flowers even if they discover the flowers in a different order. Bees are effectively solving the “traveling salesman problem”, and they are the first creatures found to do this. 2-1-c-n-j-y
The traveling salesm ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )an must find the shortest route that allows him to visit all locations on his puters solve it by comparing the length of all possible routes and choosing the shortest, and it can keep computers busy for days. However, bees solve it without computer assistance using a brain the size of grass seed. Dr. Nigel Raine, from the School of Biological Sciences at Royal Holloway explains, “Bees solve traveling salesman problems every day. They visit flowers at multiple locations and because bees use lots of energy to fly, they find a route which keeps flying to a minimum. ”
The team used the c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )omputer to control artificial flowers to test whether bees would follow a route defined by the order in which they discovered the flowers or if they would find the shortest route. After exploring the location of the flowers, bees quickly learned to fly the shortest route.
As well as improving o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ur understanding of how bees move around the landscape pollinating(授粉)crops and wild flowers, this research, which is due to be published in The American Naturalist, has other applications. Our lifestyle relies on networks such as traffic on the roads, information flow on the Web and business supply chains. By understanding how bees can solve their problems with such a tiny brain, we can improve our management of these everyday networks without needing lots of computer time. Dr. Raine adds, “Despite their tiny brains, bees are capable of extraordinary feats of behavior. We need to understand how they can solve the traveling salesman problem without a computer. ”
1. What would be the best title of the passage
A. Bees help salesmen travel
B. Tiny-brained bees solve a complex mathematical problem
C. How bees discover the flowers
D. How to solve the “traveling salesman problem”
2. We may infer ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) from the second paragraph that the “traveling salesman problem” .
A. can be solved by a computer easily
B. can’t even be solved by a computer
C. can puzzle both people and computers
D. remains to be solved by scientists
3. The main purpose of the last paragraph is to .

C. tell us how the research about bees’ flying route was conductedwww.21-cn-jy.com
D. explain the importance of the research
4. It can be concluded from the passage that .
A. all creatures are smarter than computers
B. the researc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )h about bees’ flying route can be applied to many fields
C. our networks are more complex than bees’ ones
D. with the help of th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e computer we can find out how bees can solve the “traveling salesman problem”

For as long as humans have lived on the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication. Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a spoken language problem, communication can be carried out through sign language, in which gestures stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists and people unable to hear or speak have often had to turn to this form of expression. When gestures describe words or ideas, they can often be used internationally(各国之间地). When used for spelling words however, where each gesture stands for a single letter, people must share the same written language. 21教育名师原创作品
Body language sends i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )deas or thoughts by certain actions, either meaningfully or not. A wink(眨眼, 使眼色)can be a way of showing that the person is only joking. A nod means agreement, while shaking the head indicates disagreement.
Other forms of languag ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e can be found in Braille(a reading system of raised dots read with the fingertips used by the blind), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide and warn people. While language is the most common form of communication, other systems and techniques also express human thoughts and feelings. 21·世纪*教育网

I still clearly remember that day. I was on the side of the road for almost four hours with my big Jeep. I put signs in the windows that said, “NEED A JACK(千斤顶). ”21教育网
Right as I wa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s about to give up, a truck stopped and a man got off. He sized up(对……做出判断)the situation and went back to take a jack. After about two hours, we finished the job with sweats. We were both dirty. His wife produced a large water jug for us to wash our hands in.
I tried to pu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t $20 in the man’s hand, but he wouldn’t take it, so instead I went up and gave it to his wife as quietly as I could. I thanked them up one side and down the other. I asked the little girl, their daughter, where they lived, thinking maybe I’d send them a gift. She said they lived in Mexico. They were in Oregon now so Mommy and Daddy could pick cherries for the next few weeks. After that, they were going to pick peaches, and then go back home.
After I said my goodbyes and started walking back to the Jeep, the girl called out and asked if I’d had lunch. When I told her no, she ran up and handed me a tamale(玉米粽子). I thanked them again and walked back to my car. When I opened the tamale, what did I find inside My $20 bill! I ran to the truck and the guy rolled down his window. He saw the $20 in my hand, started shaking his head smiling, and with what looked like great concentration said in English: “Today you, tomorrow me. ”Then he rolled up his window and drove away, with his daughter waving to me from the back. 21cnjy.com
This family, worki ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng on a seasonal basis where time is money, took a couple of hours to help a stranger while others passed by quietly.
Since then I’ve help ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed many people like the Mexican family. I didn’t accept money. But every time I was able to help, I felt as if I was putting something in the bank.

Walking is a popu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lar form of exercise. It is an easy activity and offers a good way to improve physical fitness. Walking also gives many of the same benefits as other kinds of exercise.
Regular, brisk ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )(轻快的)walks help a person’s body work better. Walking builds a stronger heart and lungs. The heart pumps blood through the body. It gets more rest between beats. Walking also seems to help protect the heart from heart diseases. Walking can help lose weight, too. What’s more, walking causes very few injuries, which is why there is a lower “dropout” rate among walkers than among runners. People are more likely to continue a walking program. This gives a better chance for success.
Walking offers s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ome mental benefits, too. It seems to make people feel better. Many walkers say they sleep better at night when they take regular walks. Others say they have a better attitude about life.
Walking offers man ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y of the same physical and mental benefits as other forms of exercise, but walking offers some special advantages, too.
★Almost everyone can walk. There are no special lessons of coaching. To become a serious walker, a person only needs to walk faster, farther and more often. [来源:www.]

Many people think that the most popular way of communicating with other people is through the mouth. But what they don’t know is that actual communication using the mouth accounts for(占……比例)only around 10%(or even less)of all the means to communicate a message.
Moreover, you can never determine the truthfulness or honesty of people by what they say alone. In fact, words expressed through the mouth often do not reflect what people really think or feel. The more reliable way you can determine their true inner feelings and thoughts is by reading their body language. Everybody communicates using these gestures and if you understand the gestures and their meanings you will be able to read people and know what they are really communicating to you. One researcher even went as far as to say that we speak to hide what’s on our minds. But gestures cannot lie.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you can “see through” the emotions of other people Let’s say you ask a person whether he can do an important task. He says “OK”. But deep inside, you are questioning yourself, “Is he really willing to do this job ” or “Does he have the confidence in finishing this task ”You can’t question him directly because that would be like belittling him. And even if you ask him those questions, his replies will not tell you what he really feels or thinks. So the most useful way is to observe his body language. Expressions like smiling, frowning(皱眉), pouting(撅嘴), facial reddening, sweating, toe curling and sideways glances are visible hints that can help you make a right judgment.
1. According to the passage, we know .
A. words through the mouth are the most common way in communication
B. body language is the quickest way to help people understand each other
C. expressions are the most powerful tool to judge whether a man is confident or not
D. you may know what a person really thinks with the help of reading his body language
2. What does the underlined sentence mean in the second paragraph
A. We can express ourselves well by body language.
B. We use words to prevent others knowing our true thoughts.
C. Spoken words can fully reflect our true self.
D. We use body language to help express ourselves.
3. The underlined word in the third paragraph can be replaced with .
A. looking down upon B. speaking highly of
C. laughing at D. believing in[来源:www.www.]

Comera is the only place in the world which has a whistle(口哨)language. We do not know how and why it began because we do not know the complete history of the island. But we can certainly imagine the reasons for the beginning of the whistle language. There are many deep valleys on the island. A person on one side of valley cannot easily shout to a person on the other side. But he can whistle and be heard from four miles away, and the record is seven miles. The people who live on the island usually have good teeth, and this helps them to whistle well. They must also have good ears so that they can hear other whistlers.
We can understand why the whistle language continues. It is very useful on the island, and quite easy to learn. When somebody is hurt or ill, the whistle language takes the place of the telephone. If the sick person is a long way from the town, boys and men pass the news from one to another. A boy guarding cattle on a hillside whistles to a man fishing from his boat. The last one is able to describe the trouble fully and exactly to the doctor in town. People help each other in the same way when a car breaks or a cow is lost.
The whistle language is hundreds of years old, and probably it will continue to live for hundreds of years more. Radio and TV often kill the special ways of speaking in the different parts of a country. But on Comera island you are nobody if you cannot whistle. Perhaps soon after TV arrives on the island, the people there will be whistling the news and other facts and opinions.
4. If a person on Comera island is ill, .
A. others will phone the doctor in town
B. the whistle language will pass the news to the doctor
C. his family will take him to the doctor
D. people will take him to the hospital
5. From the passage we know radio and TV at that time.
A. killed the special ways of speaking
B. whistled all the news and opinions
C. helped Comera people to communicate
D. did not appear on Comera island yet
6. Comera island is special in that .
A. it attracts visitors every year[来源:www.]
B. no visitors have ever been there
C. people there have special ears to hear whistles
D. people there use the whistle language to communicate with each other
7. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage
A. It is not easy for a person to live on Comera island if he cannot whistle.
B. The whistle language can only be found on Comera island.
C. The whistle language has been used for hundreds of years on the island, but will not be used any longer.
D. The record shows that one best whistler can be heard by others seven miles away.

1.【解析】选C。逻辑推理题。又是地区运动会了, 可作者的脚由于上一次的(earlier)受伤仍然还没有痊愈。注意本句中的过去完成时态及still的意义有着明显的提示意义。slighter更轻微的; worse更糟的; earlier更早的, 上一次的; heavier更沉重的, 巨大的。
2.【解析】选D。逻辑推理题。根据上句可知, 作者不是认为(supposed), 设想(imagined), 希望(expected)参加运动会, 而是怀疑(doubted)自己是否应该参加运动会。
3.【解析】选C。逻辑推理题。但是我到了比赛场地, 准备(ready)参加3 000米跑步。
4. 【解析】选B。前后照应题。其他的女孩子不是落到了后面(from behind), 靠近(close to, next to)作者, 而是冲到了作者的前面(ahead of)。后文as I fell farther and farther behind有所暗示。[来源:www.www.]
5.【解析】选A。背景常识题。作者越来越落后, 作者不会感到惊讶(astonished), 也激动(excited)不起来, 而是感到惭愧(ashamed), 当然不至于害怕(frightened)。
6.【解析】选A。词汇复现题。这是作者在运动会上听到的最大的欢呼声(cheer)。前面“Hooray! ”(欢呼的叫声)也有所暗示, 后文I heard a cheer— than the one I’d heard earlier和They must be cheering for the boys. 也都有明显提示。
7. 【解析】选B。逻辑推理题。第一名已经先我两圈到达了终点, 作者心想可能自己不该参加比赛, 应该放弃(drop out)才对。slow down(使)慢下来, (使)减速; drop out不参与, 离去, 放弃; go on继续下去; speed up加速。
8. 【解析】选D。逻辑推理题。然而我还是决定坚持跑下去。注意前后句子之间的转折意义。therefore因此, 所以, 表示因果关系; otherwise另外, 否则, 表示其他情况的出现; besides此外, 还, 表示附加意义; however然而, 可是, 表示转折关系。
9. 【解析】选C。前后照应题。跑最后两圈时, 作者无法轻松(with delight)起来, 也没有害怕恐惧(with fear), 当然也无法提前(in advance)到达, 而是在脚疼(in pain)的状态中跑着。前文My foot still hadn’t healed from a(n) injury. 已经有所提示。
10. 【解析】选C。逻辑推理题。作者在想这一次已经没有办法了, 明年就不参加赛跑了。文中一再谈到race和track。[来源:www.]
11.【解析】选A。逻辑推理题。由上文作者已落后且脚有伤, 可知作者认为这样做不值得, 故用worth, valuable后不能直接加宾语。
12.【解析】选D。前后照应题。欢呼声不是更弱(weaker), 更低(lower), 而是更大(louder)。longer缺少比较的对象或前提。
13. 【解析】选B。逻辑推理题。作者转身看到男孩子正准备开始比赛, 确信(sure)大家是为男孩子欢呼。
14.【解析】选B。逻辑推理题。作者正准备离开, 这时几个女孩子走上前来。when在此句中作并列连词, 意思是“正在这时, 就在那个时候, 突然”。while作从属连词, 表示“当……时候”, 通常强调两个动作或情况的同时发生; as作从属连词, 表示“当……时候”, 通常强调一个动作或情况伴随另一动作或情况; since作从属连词, 表示“自……以后, 自……以来”。
15.【解析】选D。逻辑推理题。作者对女孩的赞扬不解, 因为她刚刚跑过了终点, 结束了比赛, 但跑在最后没有获胜, 输(lose)了比赛。
16.【解析】选B。逻辑推理题。女孩子们的鼓励使作者又找回了失去的希望(hope), 而不是欢乐(cheer), 兴趣(interest), 经验(experience)。

20.【解析】选D。逻辑推理题。最坚强的人并非总是赢得胜利的人, 而是(but)那些遇到失败挫折时决不放弃的人。or或者, 还是, 表示选择关系; nor也不, 表示否定关系; and表示并列关系; but表示转折关系。
Ⅱ. 【文章大意】本文说明人们之间的交际不仅通过语言完成, 而且也通过体态语言进行。

2. 【解析】选B。推理判断题。根据下文中的“然而, 体态语言却不会撒谎”及句中hide的意思推断该句意为“口述会掩盖真实意图”, 故B项适合语境。
3. 【解析】选A。词义猜测题。联系上文, 这句话意思是“你不能直接问他, 因为这样看起来就像看不起他”。因此选A。
【文章大意】本文介绍了Comera地区一种人们进行交流的独特方式——口哨语言。
4. 【解析】选B。细节理解题。从文章的第二段可知, 在此岛上, 口哨语是用于传递信息的。故口哨语可将病人的信息传递给远处的医生。
5. 【解析】选D。推理判断题。从文章的最后一句可知此岛上并无电视、收音机等先进的东西。
6. 【解析】选D。推理判断题。纵观全文, 可知此岛的特殊之处在于它特有的口哨语。
7. 【解析】选C。推理判断题。本文主要讲述了口哨语的独特性和重要性; 并预言在电视出现后, 人们将仍用口哨传递电视上的新闻。故用排除法可将答案选出。
