阅读下列四篇短文,从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
How is it that siblin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )gs (兄弟姐妹) can turn out so differently One answer is that in fact each sibling grows upin a different family. The firstborn is, for a while, an only child, and therefore has a completely different experience of the parents than those born later. The next child is, for a while, the youngest, until the situation is changed by a new arrival. The mother and father themselves are changing and growing up too. One sibling might live in a stable and close family in the first few years; another might be raised in a family crisis, with a disappointed mother or an angry father.
Sibling competit ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ion was identified as an important shaping force as early as in 1918. But more recently, researchers have found many ways in which brothers and sisters are a lasting force in each others’lives. Dr. Annette Henderson says firstborn children pick up vocabulary more quickly than their siblings. The reason for this might be that the later children aren’t getting the same one- on- one time with parents. But that doesn’t mean that the younger children have problems with language development. Later- borns don’t enjoy that much talking time with parents, but instead they harvest lessons from bigger brothers and sisters, learning entire phrases and getting an understanding of social concepts such as the difference between “I” and “me”.
A Cambridge Unive ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rsity study of 140 children found that siblings created a rich world of play that helped them grow socially. Love- hate relationships were common among the children. Even those siblings who fought the most had just as much positive communication as the other sibling pairs.
One way children seek ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )more attention from parents is by making themselves different from their siblings, particularly if they are close in age. Researchers have found that the first two children in a family are typically more different from each other than the second and third. Girls with brothers show their differences to a maximum degree by being morefeminine than girls with sisters. A 2003 research paper studied adolescents from 185 families over two years, finding that those who changed to make themselves different from their siblings were successful in increasing the amount of warmth they gained from their parents.
1. The underlined p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )art “in a different family” (in Para. 1) means" ______".
A. in a diff ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )erent family environment B. in a different family tradition
C. in different family crises D. in different families
2. In terms of language development, later- borns_______ .
A. get their parents’i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ndividual guidance B. learn a lot from their elder siblings
C. experience a lot ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) of difficulties D. pick up words more quickly
3. What was found about fights among siblings
A. Siblings hated fighting and loved playing.
B. Siblings in some families fought frequently.
C. Sibling fights led to bad sibling relationships.
D. Siblings learned to get on together from fights.
4. The word“feminine” (in Para. 4) means "______".
A. having qualities of parents B. having qualities of women
C. having defensive qualities D. having extraordinary qualities

Have you got some p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )aper, a pair of scissors and, above all, a desire to decorate your house Then, we have the perfect holiday artwork for you: Make Star Wars snowflakes (雪花). Remembered as a cherished form of work in classrooms before the holidays, paper snowflakes have drawn many people's attention again.
The designer, Anthon ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y Herrera, just recently released his 2013 collection. "The Star Wars snowflake designs began as just doing designs of characters that I and my daughter wanted to make three years ago," Herrera told us in an email. "The second year I introduced vehicles, and this year I decided to push further by designing battle scenes."
Sometimes, he f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eels a bit bored with his job. With each year, the designs have got more detailed and various, but the process of creating them remained the same: sketching figures on paper with a pencil until a symmetrical (对称)pattern comes out, then scanning the designs and cut them with scissors. However, he says he has plenty of ideas for new flakes next year, so no two will ever be the same. Hopefully with Star Wars: Episode VII coming in 2015 he'll have even more work in the future.
Check out your ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )favorite finished versions of Herrera’s flakes (from both 2013 and previous years) and download the pictures beneath them and then get down to creating your own work. A warning: Most designs aren't for the casual flake-maker, so patience you must have.

C. it is a w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ay of killing time in holiday D. it is designed by Anthony Herrera
2. From the text, we know that Herrera ______.
A. can make snowflakes with his daughter's help
B. made more complicated designs before 2013
C. introduced paper vehicles in 2011
D. will make a great variety of detailed paper flakes
3. Herrera is fed up with the job sometimes because ______
A. he has to design detailed and different patterns
B. he has to follow the fixed process of paper cutting
C. he spends much time designing, scanning and cutting
D. he has few ideas for what the next designs will be like
4. By writing the last paragraph, the author tries to ______.

C. instruct people to be a real creative artist
D. remind us of being patient with Herrera’s designs

阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
"Can I get a light " ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) This question is among the most common between smokers. What if this question was to come from an unusual source In April 2014, the National Health Promotion Foundation uploaded an anti-smoking advertisement onto YouTube. The anti-smoking ad has quickly been known as the "most powerful anti-smoking ad."
The anti-smokin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g video, called the "Smoking Kid," features children walking up to adult smokers asking for a light. The children in the ad are actors but the adults smoking are unsuspecting participants in the project.
The video begins ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) with the statement "adults know that smoking is harmful, but don’t remind themselves of this fact " Once a "smoking kid" approaches the adults, every adult asked is shocked that a child with a cigarette in hand is asking for a light. The first adult starts by saying, "I’m not giving it to you," and the video goes on to state "every adult filmed said no and reminded the children that smoking is bad."
Before going ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) away, the kid hands each adult a booklet after being turned down for a light. The booklet says, "You worry about me, but why not about yourself " Each adult looks around for the child as their faces are filled with confusion and discomfort.
The video shows th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )at a few of the smokers quickly threw away their cigarettes or put their cigarettes away, showing that this experiment was affective at that moment.
The most influential e ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lement in the ad isn't the use of children or the responses from the smoking adults. It comes down to something much simpler than that. Why is it that we worry about other people, forgetting to worry about ourselves
1. According to the text, the anti-smoking ad is ______.
A. unusual B. shocking C. influential D. encouraging
2. The underlined ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )word "unsuspecting" (in Para. 2) probably means ______
A. uninformed B. unwilling C. unfortunate D. unacceptable
3. What are the adults,reactions to the children asking for a light
A. They pay no attention to children's request.
B. They reject kids,request and educate them.
C. They look around for children's parents.
D. They quickly throw children's cigarettes away.
4. The best title of the text might be ______.
A. Give up smoking, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )for your own sake B. Keep away from smoking, adults
C. Tell your children ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) not to smoke D. Reject a child asking for a light

1.解析: 考查交际用语。根据“but ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )I’ll have to check my schedule for sure”可知,此处表示“应该没问题,但还要查看一下时间表确定一下”,因此选B。
答案: B
2.解析: 考查冠词。句 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )意为:据说澳大利亚产的羊毛质量很好。“produced in Australia”是后置定语,修饰wool,所以第一空用the表示特指;第二空是“be of+抽象名词”结构,名词前不用冠词。
答案: B
3.解析: 句意为:看到街道的拐角处有一大群人,我意识到有什么不寻常的事情发生了。unusual作后置定语修饰 something。
答案: B
4.解析: 句意为:聪明的人常常能 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )使复杂的事简单化,然而愚蠢的人更有可能使简单的事复杂化。本题考查动词辨析。sacrifice牺牲,奉献;substitute代替,取代;simplify使……简单化;survive幸存,幸免于。前后分句表对比,故C项符合句意。
答案: C
5.解析: 考查动词的时态。根据语境可知,drink这一动作发生在表示感谢之前,是过去发生的动作,所以用一般过去时。
答案: A
6.解析: 考查非谓语动词 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )。句意为:由于缺乏社会交流而造成的误解,如果得不到恰当的处理,可能会导致严重的问题。第一空,Misunderstandings和arise为逻辑上的主谓关系,所以用arise的现在分词形式,arise from意为“由……产生”。第二空,handle和Misunderstandings为逻辑上的动宾关系,所以用handle的过去分词形式。
答案: B
7.解析: 考查情态动词。句意为:据说这家店里有很多种外套,你应该很容易就能够找到一件合适的。should表示“应该”,符合句意。
答案: D
8.解析: 考查状语从句。句 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )意为:在我从媒体了解更多的信息之前,我不明白为什么叙利亚问题会变得如此复杂。 before意为“在……之前”,符合句意。

答案: D
10.解析: 考查名词辨析。句 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )意为:因为H7N9禽流感,上海所有的活禽市场都被关闭直到另行通知才能开放。sign迹象,手势;symbol象征,符号;signal信号;notice通知。根据句意可知,应选D项。
答案: D
11.解析: 考查连词。句意为:— ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )—你是怎么通过这么有挑战性的考试的?——我过了很长时间后才找到一系列合适的办法。分析句意可知,这是“It was+时间+before从句”句型,主句为肯定句,意为“过了多长时间之后才……”,before在……以前。
答案: D
12.解析: 考查副词。句意为:我也许会 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )失败,但是无论怎样,我会坚持做的。我永不灰心。anyhow无论如何,反正,符合句意。A.用某种方法,不知为什么;C.然后;D.同时。
答案: B
13.解析: 考查状语从句。根据so...that...如此……以至于,得出答案。
答案: C
14.解析: 考查动词短语辨析。deal ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) with处理,应付;应对;agree with同意;赞同;turn out结果,原来是;put out扑灭;生产。
答案: A
15.解析: 考查定语从句。先行词the point在后面的定语从句中作地点状语,故用where引导。

阅读下列四篇短文,从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
All over the world, libraries have begun the Herculean task of making faithful digital copies of the books, images and recordings that preserve the intellectual effort of humankind. For armchair scholars, the work promises to bring such a wealth of information to the desktop that the present Internet may seem amateurish in retrospect. …
Librarians see ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )three clear benefits to going digital. First, it helps them preserve rare and fragile objects without denying access to those who wish to study them. The British Library, for example, holds the only medieval manuscript of Beowulf in London. Only qualified scholars were allowed to see it until Kevin S. Kiernan of the University of Kentucky scanned the manuscript with three different light sources (revealing detail not normally apparent to the naked eye) and put the images up on the Internet for anyone to peruse (阅览). Tokyo’s National Diet Library is similarly creating highly detailed digital photographs of 1,236 woodblock prints, scrolls and other materials it considers national treasures so that researchers can scrutinize them without handling the originals.
A second benefi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t is convenience. Once books are converted to digital form, patrons can retrieve them in seconds rather than minutes. Several people can simultaneously read the same book or view the same picture. Clerks are spared the chore of reshelving. And libraries could conceivably use the Internet to land their virtual collections to those who are unable to visit in person.
The third ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )advantage of electronic copies is that they occupy millimeters of space on a magnetic disk rather than meters on a shelf. Expanding library buildings is increasingly costly. The University of California at Berkeley recently spent $46 million on an underground addition to house 1.5 million books – an average cost of $30 per volume. The price of disk storage, in contrast, has fallen to about $2 per 300-page publication and continues to drop.
1. The best title for this passage would be __________.
A. Three Benefits of Libraries B. Libraries Going Digital
C. Space-saving E-learning D. Security of Electronic Reading
66. Which pa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ragraph(s) in the text offer(s) further explanation of the central idea
A. Paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 B. Paragraphs 3 and 4
C. Paragraphs 2 and 4 D. Paragraph 4
3. Which one o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f the following is mentioned as the advantages of E-libraries?
A. Old manuscripts can be moved more easily
B. Materials can be examined without being touched
C. Fewer staff will be required in libraries
D. Libraries will be able to move underground
4. What does the word ‘scrutinize’ probably mean
A. keep for a while B. reprint C. restore D. examine carefully

阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
In my experience, f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )reshmen today are different from those I knew when I started as a professor 25 years ago. College has always been demanding both academically and socially. But students now are less mature and often not ready for the responsibility of being in college.
Many of toda ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y’s students lack resilience (适应力)and at the first sign of difficulty are unable to think out strategies. The hardship can be a failing grade on a test, a cut from the team, or a romantic breakup.
It is really too ea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sy to point the finger at parents who protect their children from life’s obstacles. Parents, who handle every difficulty and every other responsibility for their children from writing admission essays to picking college courses, certainly may contribute to their children’s lack of coping strategies. But we can look even more broadly to the social trends of today.
How many people do yo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )u know who are on medications (治疗) to prevent anxiety or depression The number of students who arrive at college already medicated for unwanted emotions has increased dramatically in the past 10 years. We, as a society, don’t want to“feel” anything unpleasant and we certainly don’t want our children to“suffer”. The resulting problem is that by not experiencing negative emotions, one does not learn the necessary skills to tolerate and solve problems.
Our world is more st ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ressful in general because of the current economic and political realities, but I don’t believe that the college experience itself is more intense today than the past 10 years. What I do think is that many students are often not prepared to be young “adults”with all the responsibilities of life.
As parents, we shoul ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d expect young people to meet challenges. To encourage them in this direction, we have to step back and let them fail and pick themselves up and move forward. This approach needs to begin at an early age so that college can actually be a passage to independent adulthood.
1. The best title of the text probably is_____
A. Have College Freshmen Changed
B. What Should College Faculty and Staff Do Today
C. What Difficulty Are Freshmen Facing
D. How to Get Used to College Life for Freshmen
2. According to the text, today’s freshmen_____.
A. are not good at dealing with problems
B. often fail in the exams
C. can’t get along well with classmates
D. have to experience more intense college life
3. If freshmen becom ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e more mature to face and solve problems, they should______.
A. experience negative emotions themselves
B. ask parents, teachers and coaches for more help
C. receive medications to prevent anxiety or depression
D. put their hearts and soul into the study
4. The text is mainly written for_____.
A. teachers B. parents C. students D. psychologists

Howling is a behaviour ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) commonly observed among a wolf pack. As pack animals, wolves work together to hunt and rely on howling as an important means of communication among each other. There are different explanations of a wolf’s howl and it appears that there may be more to discover.
One theory is that ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) wolves howl to bond better together. It’s almost as if howling together helps the pack stay together. Perhaps something similar to people feeling a sense of involvement with each other when singing a song together. But this theory may be wrong, explains Fred H. Harrington, a professor who studies wolf behaviour.
Indeed, there ha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ve been times when wolves have been seen one moment howling in a chorus, and the next, quarreling among each other. It appears that usually the lowest-ranking members of the pack may actually be“punished” for joining in the chorus at times. So is howling a way to strengthen a social bond or just a way to reconfirm status among its members —Why do wolves howl for sure
What is clea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r, however, is that howling is often used among packmates to locate each other. Hunting grounds are distant and it happens that wolves may separate from one another at times. When this happens, howling appears to be an excellent means of gathering.
Howling, interest ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ingly, is a contagious behaviour. When one wolf starts to howl, very likely others will follow. This is often seen to occur in the morning, as if wolves were doing some sort of “roll call” where wolves all howl together to report their presence.
1. What is the possibl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e similarity between wolves’ howling together and humans’ singing in chorus
A. The act of callin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g each other. B. The sense of accomplishment.
C. The act of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) hunting for something. D. The sense of belonging to a group.
2. Why does Harrington think the “social bond” theory may be wrong
A. Wolves separate from each other after howling.
B. Wolves tend to protect their hunting grounds.
C. Wolves sometimes have quarrels after howling together.
D. Wolves of low rank are encouraged to join in the chorus.
3. Researchers are sure that wolves often howl to .
A. show thei ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r ranks B. find their companions C. express their loneliness
4. “Howling. . . is a contagious behaviour” (in the last paragraph)means .
A. howling i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s a signal for hunting B. howling is a way of communication
C. howling often occu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rs in the morning D. howling spreads from one to another

Decision- making under Stress
A new review base ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d on a research shows that acute stress affects the way the brain considers the advantages and disadvantages, causing it to focus on pleasure and ignore the possible negative(负面的) consequences of a decision.
The research sugge ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sts that stress may change the way people make choices in predictable ways.
“Stress affects h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ow people learn, ”says Professor Mara Mather. “People learn better about positive than negative outcomes under stress. ”
For example, two re ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cent studies looked at how people learned to connect images (影像) with either rewards or punishments. In one experiment, some of the participants were first stressed by having to give a speech and do difficult math problems in front of an audience; in the other, some were stressed by having to keep their hands in ice water. In both cases, the stressed participants remembered the rewarded material more accurately and the punished material less accurately than those who hadn’t gone through the stress.
This phenomenon ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )is likely not surprising to anyone who has tried to resist eating cookies or smoking a cigarette while under stress—at those moments, only the pleasure associated with such activities comes to mind. But the findings further suggest that stress may bring about a double effect. Not only are rewarding experiences remembered better, but negative consequences are also less easily recalled.
The research ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) also found that stress appears to affect decision- making differently in men and women. While both men and women tend to focus on rewards and less on consequences under stress, their responses to risk turn out to be different.
Men who had been str ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )essed by the cold- water task tended to take more risks in the experiment while women responded in the opposite way. In stressful situations in which risk- taking can pay off big, men may tend to do better; when caution weighs more, however, women will win.
This tendency to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) slow down and become more cautious when decisions are risky might also help explain why women are less likely to become addicted than men: they may more often avoid making the risky choices that eventually harden into addiction.
1. We can learn ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )from the passage that people under pressure tend to .
A. keep rewa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rds better in their memory B. recall consequences more effortlessly
C. make risky d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ecisions more frequently D. learn a subject more effectively
2. According to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the research, stress affects people most probably in their .
A. ways of making choices B. preference for pleasure
C. tolerance of punishments D. responses to suggestions
3. The research has proved that in a stressful situation, .
A. women find it easier to fall into certain habits
B. men have a greater tendency to slow down
C. women focus more on outcomes
D. men are more likely to take risks

The Goldman ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Environmental Foundation recently recognized a group of individuals (个体) for their efforts to protect the environment. Each year, the American-based group honors environmental activists from six different areas.
The first three winner ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s of the 2012 Goldman Prize are from Kenya, the Philippines and China.
The Goldman Environ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mental Foundation says Ikal Angelei is a hero to those who live around Lake Turkana. The Kenyan woman received the award because of her efforts to stop a dam project on a river in Ethiopia. Critics say the dam will harm the lake and restrict (限制) the flow of water for people who live nearby.
The Philippine island ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )of Mindoro is home to those who depend on the area’s natural resources for food and jobs. Edwin Gariguez became concerned when a European company announced plans to mine for nickel (镍) on the island. The Roman Catholic minister said waste materials from the mining project would pollute the water and destroy the forests. So he started a campaign to stop the project.
In China, Ma ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )June is working with businesses to clean up their pollution. He formed a group that collects information about pollution, and publishes it on the Internet.
The Goldman P ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rize was also awarded to activists from Argentina, Russia and the United States.
Sofia Gatica of Argentina is from a town where farmers commonly use pesticide (杀虫剂) products to protect soybean crops from insects. The town also has a high rate of cancer. Sofia Gatica believed that pesticide use was responsible for the death of her baby. She worked with other mothers to get government officials to ban the use of chemicals near populated areas.
Evgenia Chirikova objects to the plans to build a road through a protected forest just outside Moscow. She has demanded that Russian officials redirect the road away from the forest. She and her followers have been arrested for their activities. However, their campaign has gained widespread public support.
The sixth winner is American Caroline Cannon—a community leader in Point Hope, Alaska. Miz Cannon is fighting to keep Arctic waters safe from oil and gas exploration.
1. We can know from the passage that ______.
A. the dam project has been prevented
B. the first three activists are all from Asia
C. a European company is going to dig for nickel
D. Ma June is trying to stop oil and gas exploration
2. From the 7th paragraph, we can know that ______.
A. pesticide use accounts for a high-rate of cancer
B. Sofia managed to ban the use of chemicals
C. the farmers mainly live on unpolluted products
D. the death of the baby was due to delayed treatment
3. What do we know about Evgenia Chirikova?
A. She plans to build a road to protect the forest.
B. She is in charge of a project far away from the road.
C. She persuaded the government to set her followers free.
D. Her environmental action has been widely acknowledged.
4. What would be the best title for the passage
A. Six Advanced Individuals for Hard Work
B. Efforts to Create a Clean and Beautiful World
C. Six Environmental Activists Win Goldman Prize
D. The Goldman Environmental Foundation Prize

阅读下列四篇短文,从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
Rivers may be ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a significant source of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (一氧化二氮), scientists now find.
Their calculation sug ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )gests that across the globe the waterways contribute three times the amount of nitrous oxide to the atmosphere as had been estimated by the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the United Nations scientific body charged with reviewing climate change research. They found that the amount of nitrous oxide produced in streams is related to human activities that release nitrogen (氮) into the environment, such as fertilizer use and sewage discharges.
“Human activities, inc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )luding fossil fuel combustion and intensive agriculture, have increased the availability of nitrogen in the environment,” said Jake Beaulieu of the University of Notre Dame and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in Cincinnati, Ohio, and lead author of the paper published this week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
“Much of this nitrogen ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) is transported into river and stream networks,” Beaulieu said. There, microbes (微生物) convert the nitrogen into nitrous oxide (also called laughing gas) and an inert gas called dinitrogen (二氮).
The finding is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) important, the researchers say, because nitrous oxide is a powerful greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change and destruction of the stratosphere’s ozone layer, which protects us from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (紫外线) radiation. Compared with carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide is 300-fold more powerful in terms of its warming potential, though carbon dioxide is a far more common greenhouse gas. Scientists estimate nitrous oxide accounts for about 6 percent of human-induced climate change.
Beaulieu and col ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )leagues measured nitrous oxide production rates in 72 streams. When summed across the globe, the results showed rivers and streams are the source of at least 10 percent of human-caused nitrous oxide emissions to the atmosphere.
“Changes in agricultu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ral and land-use practices that result in less nitrogen being delivered to streams would reduce nitrous oxide emissions from river networks,” Beaulieu said.
1. From the second paragraph we can learn .
A. actually rivers give off much more nitrous oxide than expected
B. scientists’ calculation is totally wrong
C. human activities release nitrous oxide in to the rivers
D. there is no nitrogen in fertilizer
2. Which of the following is NOT the source of nitrogen
A. Fertilizer use. B. Sewage discharges.
C. Fossil fuel combustion. D. Climate change.
3. Nitrous oxide is a powerful greenhouse gas because .
A. it can protect us from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet radiation
B. it is to blame for most of human-induced climate change
C. it is a far more common greenhouse gas
D. it has much more warming potential than carbon dioxide
4. What does the passage mainly tells us
A. Rivers may be a source of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide.
B. It’s human activities that release nitrogen into the environment.
C. How to reduce nitrous oxide emissions from river networks
D What to do with the climate change caused by nitrous oxide.

阅读下列四篇短文,从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
“Experience may possib ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ly be the best teacher,but it is not a particularly good teacher.” You might think that Winston Churchill or perhaps Mark Twain spoke those words,but they actually come from James March,a professor at Stanford University and a pioneer in the field of organizational decision making. For years March(possibly the wisest philosopher of management)has studied how humans think and act,and he continues to do so in his new bookThe Ambiguities of Experience.
He begins by r ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eminding us of just how firmly we have been sticking to the idea of experiential learning:“Experience is respected;experience is sought;experience is explained.” The problem is that learning from experience involves(涉及)serious complications(复杂化),ones that are part of the nature of experience itself and which March discusses in the body of this book.
In one interesti ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng part of the book,for example,he turns a doubtful eye toward the use of stories as the most effective way of experiential learning.

1.解析: 考查交际用语。句意为:— ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )—嗯,迪克,不好意思,我得走了。——保持联系,常发邮件。根据 “Let’s email often.”可知,空处表示“保持联系”,故选B。
答案: B
2.解析: 考查冠词。句中信息词her ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )表明主语是一个人,即“艺术家兼教授”,所以第一空用定冠词the表示特指;第二空不填;第三空后的welcome是抽象名词具体化的用法,其前用不定冠词。
答案: C

答案: A
4.解析: 考查定语从句。句意为:——情 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )况怎么样,Janet?——他们已经着手处理目前的情况,他们认为这值得他们及时注意。分析句子成分可知,空处引导定语从句,先行词为the present situation,从句中they think为插入语,从句中缺少主语,故应用关系代词which引导。
答案: A
5.解析: 考查名词辨析。句意为:目 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )前,许多美国女性仍然面临着在工作和家庭之间进行选择的两难境地。desperation绝望;confusion混乱;dilemma窘境,进退两难的境地;concern担心,忧虑。

答案: B
7.解析: 考查祈使句。句意为 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ):请帮我个忙——通知Black先生最新的开会时间和地址,否则他会错过的。祈使句+and/or+sb.will do sth.为固定句式,表示请求、命令、要求、威胁等概念。
答案: D
8.解析: 考查倒装。句意为:我们不仅 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )忘记关厨房的灯,而且也忘了锁前门。not only位于句首时,其后的成分要部分倒装,故选C项。B项为全部倒装,故排除。

答案: B
13.解析: 考查定语从句。分析句 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )子成分可知“________many factors lead to the change”是定语从句,a certain process为先行词,表示抽象地点,在从句中作地点状语,故空处用where。
答案: C
14.解析: 句意为:从现在起你应该 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )开始认真学习了,请专心于对你未来的发展是非常重要的事情。concentrate on专心于……,符合句意。depend on依靠,依赖;put on穿上,戴上;take on呈现,承担。
答案: A
15.解析: 考查虚拟语气。句意为:Gra ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ce 不想搬到纽约,因为她认为,如果她住到那里去,她就不能经常看到父母了。主句“Grace doesn’t want to move to New York”说明 Grace 尚未搬到纽约,故此处表示的是对将来的虚拟,if 引导的虚拟条件从句中可使用过去式或 should+动词原形或 were to+动词原形,D 项当选。

A Myth
It is true t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hat world population is growing, but this is not the cause of our current and future global problems. Believing this will cause us to ignore the real problem and risk long-term damage to our planet.
Let me start by expla ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ining why overpopulation is a myth. For one thing, the UN Population Division regularly predicts population growth but provides a low variant (变量), medium variant, and high variant to factor in various possibilities. In the 2010 revision, their high variant suggests that the world population will be almost 16 billion in 2100, but the low variant predicts it will peak at 8 billion and decrease to just over 6 billion by 2100. In most cases, it is the low variant that has come true in the past, suggesting the same will be true of their future population predictions. In addition to this, the size of families is actually decreasing.
For another, if the E ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )arth is overpopulated, there needs to be insufficient (短缺) food, water, and space for humans to live. However, Indian economist Raj Krishna estimates that India alone is able to increase crop produce to the point of providing the entire world’s food supply. The World Food Programme confirms that there is sufficient food grown to feed the world and there is the same amount of fresh water on the planet now as there was 10,000 years ago. So how is it possible that the number of people in the world is affecting our planet
Therefore, it is no ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t an increase in population but an increase in consumption that is a severe threat. Materialism and overconsumption are facts of life for everybody in the western world, as possessions reflect a person’s status in society and people strive to obtain happiness through owning the latest fashionable goods. Not only that, but waste is a common occurrence which has a huge effect on our resources. It is a sad truth that 80% of the world’s resources are currently used by just 20% of the world’s population.
Our overconsumption ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )must be addressed now to make our lives more sustainable (可持续的) and avoid continuing the terrible damage to the environment we are causing. The key is education. If we do not work towards this but instead focus on the wrong issue, we may find ourselves living on a planet that can no longer sustain human life.
1. According to the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )author, what causes our current and future global problems
A. The increase in population.
B. Shortage of food and water.
C. The fast growth of material needs.
D. Failure to protect the environment.
2. The underlined ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )word “myth” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _________.
A. fact B. misconception C. possibility D. uncertainty
3. The author stresses that _____.
A. people should save food and water
B. economists are making wrong predictions
C. wrong judgment leads to serious consequences
D. measures should be taken to reduce population
4. What is mainly discussed in the passage
A. The real cause of global problems.
B. The severe effect of overpopulation.
C. Reasonable use of natural resources.
D. Methods to reduce overconsumption.

阅读下列四篇短文,从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
Mail carriers will be delivering some good news and some bad news this week.
The bad news: Stamp p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rices are expected to rise 2 cents in May to 41 cents, the Postal Regulatory Commission announced yesterday. The good news: With the introduction of a “forever stamp,” it may be the last time Americans have to use annoying 2-or 3-cent stamps to make up postage differences.
Beginning in May, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) people would be able to purchase the stamps in booklets of 20 at the regular rate of a first-class stamp. As the name implies, “forever stamps” will keep their first-class mailing value forever, even when the postage rate goes up.
The new “foreve ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r stamp” is the United States Postal Service’s (USPS) answer to the complaints about frequent rate increases. The May increase will be the fifth in a decade. Postal rates have risen because of inflation(通货膨胀), competition from online bill paying, and the rising costs of employee benefits, including healthcare, says Mark Saunders, a spokesman for USPS.
The USPS expe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cts some financial gain from sales of the “forever stamp” and the savings from not printing as many 2-or 3-cent stamps. “It’s not your grandfather’s stamp,” says Mr. Saunders. “It could be your great-grandchildren’s stamp.”
Other countries, in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cluding Canada, England, and Finland use similar stamps.
Don Schilling, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) who has collected stamps for 50 years, says he’s interested in the public’s reaction. “This is an entirely new class of stamps,” Mr. Schilling says. He adds that he’ll buy the stamps because he will be able to use them for a long period of time, not because they could make him rich—the volume printed will be too large for collectors. “We won’t be able to send our kids to college on these,” he says, laughing.
The USPS board of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )governors has yet to accept the Postal Regulatory Commission’s decision, but tends to follow its recommendations. No plans have been announced yet for the design of the stamps.
1. The main purpose of introducing a “forever stamp” is .
A. to reduce the cost of printing 2-or 3-cent stamps
B. to help save the consumers’ cost on first-class mailing
C. to respond to the complaints about rising postal rates
D. to compete with online bill paying
2. By saying “I ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t could be your great-grandchildren’s stamp”, Mr Saunders means that forever stamps .
A. could be collected by one’s great-grandchildren
B. might be very precious in great-grandchildren’s hands
C. might have been inherited from one’s great-grandfathers
D. could be used by one’s great-grandchildren even decades later
3. Which of the following is true according to the passage
A. The investment in forever stamps will bring adequate reward.
B. America will be the first country to issue forever stamps.
C. The design of the “forever stamp” remains to be revealed.
D. 2-or 3-cent stamps will no longer be printed in the future.
4. What can be concluded from the passage
A. With forever st ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )amps, there will be no need to worry about rate changes.
B. Postal workers will benefit most from the sales of forever stamps.
C. The inflation ha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s become a threat to the sales of first-class stamps.
D. New interest will be aroused in collecting forever stamps.

参考答案 1-5 CDCBC 6-10 DCDDA 11-15 DBBBC
阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A study has sho ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )wed that the brain makes decisions about 10 seconds before a person realizes it.
Experts involved ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )in the study said that looking at brain activity while making a decision, they could predict the choices the subjects would make, before they realized that they had made a decision. Lead researcher John-Dylan Haynes, a neuroscientist (神经学家)at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig, said that the new findings called into questions for “consciousness”of decisions that people make, and might even challenge ideas as to how“free”people are to make a decision at a particular moment.
“We think our decis ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ions are conscious, but these data show that consciousness is just the tip of the iceberg,”Nature magazine quoted (引用) him as saying. Thinking the results“quite dramatic”, Frank Tong of Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, said that 10 seconds is“a lifetime”in terms of brain activity.
During the study, the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )brains of 14 volunteers were imaged as they performed a decision-making task. The subjects had two buttons before them, each to be operated by a different hand, which they could press when they felt the urge to. They were simultaneously (同时地)shown a stream of letters, which appeared on a screen at half-second intervals (间隔). The volunteers had to remember which letter was showing when they decided to press their button.
Upon analysis of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the data, the researchers realized that the earliest signal they could catch started seven seconds before the volunteers reported having made their decision. Given the delay of a few seconds in the imaging, they reckoned (估计) that the brain activity could have begun about ten seconds before the conscious decision. The researchers showed that the signals were picked up from a region (区域)called the frontopolar cortex (脑额极皮层), which is located at the front of the brain, immediately behind the forehead.
While writing a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )bout the observations made during the research in his study report, Haynes said that the frontopolar cortex might be the brain region where decisions are started. He also showed that the next step in the research would be to speed up the data analysis so as to enable his team to predict people’s choices as their brains would make them.
1. The passage tells us that ______.
A. we are aware of our whole process of decision-making
B. people don’t make decisions until they realize it
C. experts have no way to tell what decision one will make
D. the decision-making process starts before it is made
2. The underli ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ned word “subjects”in Para. 2 probably refers to ______.
A. the topic of the experts’ research paper
B. the scientific subjects that the experts were studying
C. the things that experts don’t know clearly
D. the volunteers that the experts worked on for their research
3. The underlined sent ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ence“consciousness is just the tip of the iceberg”in Para. 4 means that ______.
A. our decision-making is conscious
B. the data contains a lot of information besides consciousness
C. consciousness is the major part of the data
D. 10 seconds is“a lifetime”in terms of brain activity
4. The final purpose of the research ______.
A. is not stated clea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rly in the passage B. is not acknowledged by experts
C. is to show w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )here decision-making starts D. is to analyze the data picked up
5. The passage implies that ______.
A. the research has been completed
B. the research was conducted by two experts
C. the decision-making process lasts only about 10 seconds
D. we may predict what decisions people will make in the future

【参考答案】DADAC ADCBB
阅读下列四篇短文,从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A recent study, whil ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e showing a generally positive attitude toward science, also suggests a widespread worry that it may be “running out of control”. This idea is dangerous.
Science can be ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a force for evil as well as for good. Its applications can be channeled either way, depending on our decisions. The decisions we make, personally or collectively, will determine the outcomes of science. But here is a real danger. Science is advancing so fast and is so strongly influenced by businesses that we are likely to believe whatever decisions we come to will make little difference. And, rather than fighting for the best possible policies, we may step back and do nothing.
Some people go ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )even further. They say that despite the moral and legal objections(反对), whatever is scientifically possible will be done—somewhere, sometime. They believe that science will get out of control in the end. This belief is dangerous too, because it fuels a sense of hopelessness and discourages then from making efforts to build a safer world.
In our interconnected ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) world, the lack of agreement in and out of the world of science can lead to the failure to control the use of science. Without a common understanding, the challenges of “controlling” science in this century will be really tough. Take human cloning for example. Despite the general agreement among scientists on its possible huge impact(影响) on traditional moral values, some countries still go ahead with the research and development of its related techniques. The outcomes are hard to predict.
Therefore, discussions on how science is applied should be extended far beyond scientific societies. Only through the united efforts of people with hope, can we be fully safe against the misuse of science and can science best serve mankind in the future.
1. What can we conclude from the recent study
A. People think highly of science.
B. People hold mixed opinions about science.
C. Science is getting dangerously out of control.
D. Science is used for both good and bad purposes.
2. According ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to the passage, what will happen if we hold that science is getting beyond control
A. The development of science will hopelessly slow down.
B. Businesses will have even greater influence on science.
C. The public will lose faith in bringing about a bright future.
D. People will work more actively to put science under control.
3. The discussion ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )should reach beyond scientific societies because .
A. scientists have failed to predict the outcomes
B. the ties between different areas need strengthening
C. united efforts are necessary for the development of science
D. people need to work together to prevent the bad use of science
4. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Science and its applications bring us many dangers.
B. The development of science mostly lies in people’s attitudes.
C. Mankind can largely take control of science with their efforts.
D. The future of science will be influenced by the dangerous ideas.
