Michele Gentile, an Italian bookseller, is offering free books to children in exchange for plastic bottles to recycle. Gentile owns Ex Libris Cafe in Polla, a small town in southern Italy. He said he thought of the recycling program, because he wanted to inspire children in the small town to read and pay attention to the environment.
“My goal is to spread the passion and love for books among those people in Italy who do not usually read while at the time helping the environment，” Gentile explained.
The idea for the initiative came after Gentile cooperated with a nearby middle school on an aluminum recycling project. Working together, the schoolchildren and Gentile collected enough cans to buy books for an entire class. His new program took off from there and has already spread into northern Italy. Gentile hopes his work will continue to make headlines and become a worldwide initiative.
The free books come from customers in Gentile's shop who have donated money to buy a “suspended” book. The idea comes from a World War Ⅱ practice in which customers would buy two coffees: one for themselves and the other for the next person in line. Gentile has been using the extra books as part of his recycling initiative. While Gentile's program is a great way to recycle waste and get kids to read, it also brings attention to the growing problem of plastic waste. Single－use plastics make up around 26 percent of all the plastics in the world, only 14 percent of which are recycled. Plastics that end up in landfills take around 500 years to decompose (腐烂), which is a major concern for environmentalists.
Cutting down on plastic waste is important if we want to better the environment for future generations, and recycling programs like Gentile's book giveaway are a great way to meet that goal.
24．What is the purpose of Gentile's book program
A．To sell more books. B．To attract more customers.
C．To collect money for a new project. D．To inspire reading and recycling.
25．How did Gentile come up with the idea
A．Working with a school to recycle cans. B．Seeing school kids don't like reading.
C．Donating books to a local school. D．Buying a “suspended” book for a child.
26．Who pay for the books in the project
A．The government. B．Gentile himself.
C．Some publishers. D．His customers.
27．What's the best title for the text
A．An Italian's Reading Initiative B．Recycling Cans Gets Kids Free Books
C．Gentile's Way of Doing Business D．A New Way to Deal with Plastic Waste
C
If I scratch your back and you scratch mine, then we're both better off as a result — so goes the principle of reciprocity. As humans, we are familiar with the concept, whether it is by buying rounds of drinks or expelling diplomats. But do animals also help those who help them The answer may be yes. A paper by Dolivo and Taborsky shows that Norway rats will only give as good as they get.
In their laboratory, Dolivo and Taborsky first trained rats to pull a stick that provided a food item within the reach of a rat in a neighboring cage separated from them by wire mesh (铁丝网).
They then introduced a further treatment in which an experimental rat was placed in a cage with other caged rats on either side. On one side the rat pulled a stick that provided pieces of carrot to the rat in the central cage, while the other pulled a stick that produced banana pieces.
In the following trials the focal rat(the one in the central cage) had the opportunity to repay the other rats using the same stick tool to deliver food items.
Now, the rats had typically turned their noses up at the carrot and showed a strong preference for the more desirable banana. On the basis that the banana providing rat should be therefore remembered as the superior partner, the authors predicted that in the test phase (阶段) the focal rat would more readily provide help for banana－offering rats than for carrot－offering rats. This proved to be the case: the rats that had provided better help in the past received greater rewards — it seemed that they were behaving reciprocally.
Dolivo and Taborsky's experiments show that rats can recall the quality of help provided and by which rat, and adjust their behavior so as to invest more time and energy in helping those that helped them. It is apparent that we shouldn't undervalue the ability of animals to engage in reciprocity.
28．What does the underlined word “reciprocity” probably refer to
A．The act of being kind to other people. B．A cooperative exchange of favors.
C．A positive attitude to everything. D．The quality of being generous.
29．What would happen if a rat pulled the stick
A．It would find some food in its own cage. B．Other rats would be able to enter its cage.
C．Another rat in another cage would get food. D．It would be able to enter a neighboring cage.
30．Which got more benefit from the focal rat
A．The rats that preferred carrot pieces. B．The rats that preferred banana pieces.
C．The rats that had provided carrot pieces. D．The rats that had provided banana pieces.
31．Which of the following might Dolivo and Taborsky agree with
A．Some animals may return others' help. B．Norway rats have very poor memories.
C．It is hard to explain the ability of animals. D．Rats' behavior is very uncommon.
D
Antarctica remained largely untouched by humans for thousands of years, allowing an ecosystem to develop independently. However, since the 1990s, the last wild land on the planet is becoming an increasingly popular destination for adventure－seeking tourists. Now, a study newly conducted shows the visitors may be leaving behind harmful bacteria which could destroy that area's bird population.
We mainly hear about zoonoses (动物传染病) — diseases like Ebola and pig flu — that are spread from animals to humans, yet humans can also infect animals with illnesses such as the flu. Researchers, however, believed that Antarctic animals, which had no recorded reverse (反向的) cases of zoonoses, were not affected by the danger due to the extreme environment. But microbiologists Marta Cerdà－Cuéllar at the Research Center for Animal Health, was not convinced this was true.
So she and some colleagues decided to examine waste samples from Antarctic birds for evidence of human bacteria. To ensure the waste was not polluted, the scientists had to collect it from the birds themselves. This was no easy task. It took the scientists four years to collect waste samples of 666 adult birds from 24 local species. However, it was well worth the effort. The results of their study showed the presence of several types of human bacteria in the bird waste.
“The bacteria, which are a common cause for infections in humans, don't usually cause death in wild animals，” says Cerdà Cuéllar.“However, the pathogens (病原体) that arrive to highly sensitive populations could cause extinction of some populations and destroy the local ecosystem.” The researcher also fears the presence of these bacteria could foresee the arrival of other, more deadly, pathogens as the number of people visiting the area increases. While the best solution would be to prevent tourism, Cerdà－Cuéllar，who believes it is because of efforts from tourist and scientific groups that Antarctica remains largely protected, says that's impossible. “While we should do as much as possible to reduce the spread, it's hard to believe we'll stop tourism and science at these sites, and so it is hard to believe that humans won't continue to pass on pathogens.”
32．Which of the following will the new study support
A．The Antarctic becomes popular with tourists.
B．The Antarctic ecosystem is destroyed by outsiders.
C．Zoonoses are spread from animals to humans.
D．Tourists expose Antarctic birds to human bacteria.
33．Why did researchers think Antarctic animals were free from human diseases
A．The Antarctic weather is extraordinarily cold.
B．The number of tourists to the Antarctic is small.
C．There was no recorded case of reverse zoonoses.
D．An independent ecosystem was in place in Antarctica.
34．What advice might Cerdà－Cuéllar give
A．Strengthen researches into Antarctic animals.
B．Stop tourism and science in Antarctica.
C．Restrict the number of visitors to Antarctica.
D．Monitor the presence of other pathogens.
35．In which section of a magazine might the text be found
A．Health. B．Science. C．Tourism. D．Geography.

Four simple ways to stay positive
Trying to stay positive, both in good times and bad times, is a great way to improve your quality of life. Try these four methods on a daily basis.
Don't think a lot about negativity.
Of course, staying positive 24 hours a day, seven days a week is a bit difficult. Letting things get to you is normal. In fact, it's just healthy to cry or express frustrations once in a while. It's when those negative moments control your life that your emotional balance is at risk. __36__ However, don't give that sadness another second in your day.
__37__
According to psychology, what you put into your body directly affects how you feel on the outside. Fill yourself with good, healthy foods like nuts, fruit and vegetables and limit snacking. Exercise is equally of great importance. Take a few days out of your week for at least half an hour of activity, and try to stick to a routine. __38__
Be kind to others.
__39__ Making someone's day a bit brighter not only puts a smile on his or her face, but also yours as well. Remember to smile and treat each person with respect. Good deeds are contagious (有感染力的), and your positive attitude may spread among others.
Take it one day at a time.
Being positive and keeping away from feeling pessimistic isn't an easy thing. It's a steady effort that we follow every hour of every day. __40__ Instead, focus on living in the moment and doing what you can to make each moment better.
A．Eat healthily and stay fit.
B．Take your lunch breaks outside.
C．Don't worry about what the future may bring.
D．Take a few minutes to feel sad and accept what happened.
E．Good feelings come from acts of kindness and selflessness.
F．Gratefulness helps you appreciate life in bad times.
G．Even going outside for a walk and enjoying the sunshine improves your mood.

Despite this, I couldn't __43__ the opportunity to visit Ciudad Perdida. 12 other hikers and I went there in __44__ with a licensed guide.

They have been left undisturbed for centuries and there's a deep __48__ between them and the land.
The next morning, we were off early to __49__ the heat, but high temperatures and muscle pain had already __50__ by the time we reached the final stage — 1，200 stone steps to __51__. After finally lifting my painful body up the long flight of stairs, my eyes rested on the scene that had __52__ the backbreaking journey: Ciudad Perdida.
I looked down and wondered at the beautiful site below. While the return trip included __53__ the mental hurdle(障碍) of having already accomplished our goal, the experience is the one I would do __54__. It is the difficulty that makes the journey a more __55__ one. Earned views are always better.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Last Christmas my older sister Jane got a unicycle (独轮脚踏车) she had requested. I thought it kind of strange, wondering why she would want something like that. She did ride and practice for a while, but eventually stopped.
Curious, I tried it, finding it very hard and thinking it impossible for a weak girl like me to learn. Since our dining room of our old house had low beams (屋梁), I used them like monkey bars to practice riding, which helped a lot. Because I thought it was really fun, I practiced every spare moment I had, teaching myself to go forwards, backwards and to turn. Practicing was something I loved to do in my spare time, but it did get discouraging when I fell. After months of practicing. I finally made it.
One morning, our teacher Maria excitedly announced that a school talent show was to be held to raise money for charity. She encouraged my classmates to sign up for it. I'm not always the best in front of a crowd, which was why I was very nervous when I meant to put on my performance by doing a hula hoop (圈) and riding a unicycle on stage. But I overcame my fear and entered myself for the talent show, for which I practiced a lot in case I should mess up.
My routine (整套动作) was to do the hula hoop from my neck, down to my stomach, then to my knees. After that, I was to ride my unicycle forwards and backwards on stage. Lastly I would do the hula hoop while riding the unicycle. I was to do all this accompanied by my carefully selected music. I wondered what people from my seventh grade would think of my performance. With my friends inspiring me, I built up my confidence. On the night of the show, many people found out there was going to be a unicycle performance, so more came, even the headmaster.

London's Chinese community dates back to the 18th century, when a small number of Chinese sailors moved to the city to work in the dock area of Limehouse, east London. As time went on, Chinese people came to this area, mainly to open shops and cafes, and Limehouse began to known as “Chinatown”. However, London's Chinese community remained very small for many years. At the start of the 20th century, there were just 545 Chinese people in Britain.
This situation changed after World War Ⅱ.At that time, many farmers in Hong Kong lost their jobs, and decided to immigrate to London. As Limehouse had been destroyed during the war, these new immigrants lived in a different area — a part of central London near Leicester Square. This area is now what Londoners call Chinatown.
At first, the new settlers found it difficult to get jobs. In the 1950s, however, a small Chinese restaurant opened in central London. Many British people visited it and praised that Chinese food was wonderful! Suddenly, Chinese restaurants started opening in every part of the city. This raised a question: instead of too little work, the new Chinese immigrants now found that they had too much! They worked very long hours as cooks, managers or waiters. Most of the people enjoyed their lives and the chances they were offered. Many arranged for their friends and relatives to join them from overseas, and a lot of families were reunited at this time.
As time went by, London's Chinese community became more and more successful. The sons and daughters of the restaurant workers, encouraged by their parents, studied very hard at school and university, and most went on to get highly paid jobs. As a result, a large number of Chinese families left Chinatown and moved to the more expensive places. Chinatown, however, is still as lively as ever.

28．答案与解析：B 考查词义猜测。 根据第一段第一句中的“If I scratch your back and you scratch mine，then we're both better off as a result”可知，如果两个人互相抓背，则两人都能得到好处；由此可推知，reciprocity意为“互惠”，故B项正确。
29．答案与解析：C 考查推理判断。根据第二段的内容和第三段尾句“On one side the rat pulled a stick that provided pieces of carrot to the rat in the central cage, while the other pulled a stick that produced banana pieces”可推知，如果一只老鼠拉棍子，则另一个笼子里的老鼠会吃到食物，故C项正确。
30．答案与解析：D 考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段的内容尤其是“the rats that had provided better help in the past received greater rewards”可知，提供香蕉片的老鼠会得到更多的回报，故D项正确。
31．答案与解析：A 考查推理判断。根据尾段第一句“Dolivo and Taborsky's experiments show that rats can recall the quality of help provided and by which rat, and adjust their behavior so as to invest more time and energy in helping those that helped them”可知，Dolivo和Taborsky的实验表明，老鼠能够回忆起谁提供的帮助和帮助的质量，并调整它们的行为，从而投入更多的时间和精力去帮助那些帮助过它们的同类；由此可推知，动物会回报帮助过它们的对象，故A项正确。
D
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。一项新的研究发现，游客留下的病菌可能给南极洲动物带来威胁。
32．答案与解析：D 考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“Now，a study newly conducted shows the visitors may be leaving behind harmful bacteria which could destroy that area's bird population”以及第三段中的“The results of their study showed the presence of several types of human bacteria in the bird waste”可知，游客使南极洲的鸟类面临人类的有害细菌，故D项正确。
33．答案与解析：A 考查细节理解。 根据第二段中的“Researchers，however，believed that Antarctic animals, which had no recorded reverse(反向的) cases of zoonoses, were not affected by the danger due to the extreme environment”可知，研究者认为南极洲的动物不会受这种危险影响，因为该地极端的自然环境，即天气特别寒冷，故A项正确。
34．答案与解析：C 考查推理判断。 根据最后一段中的“The researcher also fears the presence of these bacteria could foresee the arrival of other, more deadly, pathogens as the number of people visiting the area increases”和“While we should do as much as possible to reduce the spread”可知，Cerdà－Cuéllar担心游客数量增加会导致其他更致命的病原体的到来，她认为应该尽可能减少病原体的传播，故C项“限制到南极洲的游客数量”正确。
35．答案与解析：B 考查文章出处。本文展示了一项新的研究发现——游客带去的细菌对南极洲生物有潜在威胁，并介绍了研究的过程等，故可推断该文章属于科学范畴。

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要向读者介绍了四个简单的帮助人们保持积极心态的方法。
36．答案与解析：D 根据后句中的However以及that sadness可以推断空格处介绍的是负面情绪的危害，而且和sadness有关，纵观选项可知D选项中的sad与此对应，而且内容符合语境。
37．答案与解析：A 本空位于段落小标题的位置，根据其他几个段落标题的句式判断该处应该填祈使句，而本段主要介绍的是健康饮食和保持健康对积极情绪的影响，故A项内容可以概括本段。
38．答案与解析：G 前句提到每周锻炼几次，每次至少半个小时，G项“甚至户外散步以及享受阳光都会改善你的情绪。”可以承接上文。
39．答案与解析：E 本段的建议是要对他人友好，而空后提到让某人的一天变得更美好不仅能让他或她的脸上露出笑容，也能让你的脸上露出笑容，所以判断E项“好情绪来源于善良、无私的行为。”符合上下文语境。其中kindness和小标题中的kind呼应。
40．答案与解析：C 根据空后的Instead可以判断设空处内容和后句构成转折，故判断C项“不要担心将来可能会带来什么。”符合语境。

第一节
【语篇解读】 本文为一篇记叙文。哥伦比亚的“失落之城”佩尔迪达城比马丘比丘还要古老。作者在导游的带领下和其他徒步旅行者一起不辞劳苦抵达这座城市，一睹其神秘面貌，收获满满。
41．答案与解析：D 根据下文的“on foot：a tiring multi－day hike”可知，到那里需要步行且需要花费几天时间。由此可知，没有火车或公共汽车能实现让你轻易到达这座城市的废墟。easy“轻易的，不费力的”符合语境。endless“无止境的，无数的，无限的”；frequent“经常发生的，频繁的”。
42．答案与解析：B 根据上文的“The remote place is only”和下文的“on foot”可知，这里指的是到达这个偏远地方的唯一方式是步行：劳累且多日的徒步旅行。accessible“可到达的，可接近的，可进入的”，符合语境。impressive“令人印象深刻的”；worthwhile“值得的”；dangerous“危险的”。
43．答案与解析：A 根据下文提到作者进行了这次旅行可知，此处表示：尽管有这个(困难)，我还是拒绝不了参观佩尔迪达城的机会。resist“抵挡，抵抗”；obtain“获得”；promote“推动，促进”。
44．答案与解析：A 作者和另外12个徒步旅行者在导游的陪同下前往那里。in company with“与……一起”。
45．答案与解析：D 这条土路蜿蜒曲折，穿过高耸的棕榈树和悬挂的藤蔓，从一开始就颇具挑战性(challenging)。bury“埋葬”；spread“蔓延，扩散”；spin“(使)快速旋转”；wind在这里作不及物动词，表示“蜿蜒，曲折而行”。
46．答案与解析：C 参见上题解析。disappointing“令人失望的”；embarrassing“令人尴尬的”；amazing“令人惊喜的”。
47．答案与解析：A 根据下文的“They have been left undisturbed for centuries and there's a deep __48__ between them and the land”可知，作者他们在路上遇到了当地人(natives)。
48．答案与解析：C 几个世纪以来，他们没有被打扰，与这片土地有着深厚的羁绊(bond)。similarity“相似性”；distinction“区别”；belief“信念”。
49．答案与解析：B 根据空前的“we were off early to”和空后的“but high temperatures and muscle pain had already __50__ by the time we reached the final stage”可知，此处表示作者他们趁着天不热早早出发。beat在此表示“(to avoid sth.)避免，逃避”。
50．答案与解析：C 当作者他们到达最后一段路程的时候，气温开始上升，作者浑身肌肉开始(set in)酸疼。watch out“小心，注意”；cut off“剪掉，中断”；give in“屈服，让步，交上”。
51．答案与解析：C 这段路程需要走完1 200阶石阶。cover“行走(一段路程)”。
52．答案与解析：C 最终，作者的目光落在了佩尔迪达城的景色上，而这正是作者进行这次艰苦旅行的原因。motivate“成为……的动机，是……的原因”，符合语境。convince“说服，使相信”；predict“预言，预报”；simplify“使简易，使简化”。
53．答案与解析：A 尽管返程需要克服(overcoming)他们因完成目标而懈怠的心理障碍，作者还是愿意再(again)经历一次。
54．答案与解析：B 参见上题解析。
55．答案与解析：A 根据作者这次旅行的经历和最后作者的感悟“Earned views are always better”可知，困难让这次旅行变得更有意义(rewarding)。
第二节
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。本文介绍了夏威夷草裙舞，它能够降低血压，有益健康。
56．答案与解析：is 考查主谓一致。分析句子结构可知，主语是动名词短语learning some hula dance steps，故空处填is。注意：不要受steps的影响而用are。
57．答案与解析：originally 考查副词。空处修饰谓语动词settled，应用副词。
58．答案与解析：reduced 考查动词的时态。分析句子结构可知，本句主句缺少谓语动词，根据从句用一般过去时可知，此处也用一般过去时。
59．答案与解析：spiritual 考查形容词。and连接两个并列的形容词修饰名词needs，故此处填spiritual“精神上的”。
60．答案与解析：to 考查介词。此处表示“适用于”，故用apply... to...搭配，to是介词。
61．答案与解析：the 考查冠词。根据idea后跟的同位语从句和语境可知，此处表示特指，故用定冠词the。
62．答案与解析：breathe 考查词形转换和非谓语动词。make sb. do sth.为固定用法，故空处要填动词原形。注意：breath是名词，表示“呼吸”，breathe是其动词形式。
63．答案与解析：Whether 考查让步状语从句。分析句子结构并根据后面的or可知，此处表示“不管……还是……”，故用Whether。
64．答案与解析：benefits 考查名词的数。空处缺少名词作主语，根据后面的are可知，空处要填名词复数形式。
65．答案与解析：motivating 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，空处作后置定语修饰名词activities，且motivate与activities是逻辑上的主谓关系，故用现在分词形式。

参考范文：
Iwasbothnervousandexcitedwhenitwasmyturn. I had a deep breath and then rode my unicycle towards the stage. When I heard the music, I started to put the hula hoop in my neck. Carefully, I moved it down to my stomach. Everything seemed good. The audience applauded for me when the hula hoop was about to my knees. And then, an unlucky thing happened. I didn't ride backwards firmly so I tumbled. At that moment I felt my heart was broken. However, after a very short rest, I stood up with my red face. I tried again and finally, I made it. Seeing this, all the audience cheered and applauded happily.
WhenIgothome, Icouldn'twaittocheckmymobilephoneleftathome. My deskmate Mary sent the performance video to me and expressed that she was so proud of me.

Michele Gentile, an Italian bookseller, is offering free books to children in exchange for plastic bottles to recycle. Gentile owns Ex Libris Cafe in Polla, a small town in southern Italy. He said he thought of the recycling program, because he wanted to inspire children in the small town to read and pay attention to the environment.
“My goal is to spread the passion and love for books among those people in Italy who do not usually read while at the time helping the environment，” Gentile explained.
The idea for the initiative came after Gentile cooperated with a nearby middle school on an aluminum recycling project. Working together, the schoolchildren and Gentile collected enough cans to buy books for an entire class. His new program took off from there and has already spread into northern Italy. Gentile hopes his work will continue to make headlines and become a worldwide initiative.
The free books come from customers in Gentile's shop who have donated money to buy a “suspended” book. The idea comes from a World War Ⅱ practice in which customers would buy two coffees: one for themselves and the other for the next person in line. Gentile has been using the extra books as part of his recycling initiative. While Gentile's program is a great way to recycle waste and get kids to read, it also brings attention to the growing problem of plastic waste. Single－use plastics make up around 26 percent of all the plastics in the world, only 14 percent of which are recycled. Plastics that end up in landfills take around 500 years to decompose (腐烂), which is a major concern for environmentalists.
Cutting down on plastic waste is important if we want to better the environment for future generations, and recycling programs like Gentile's book giveaway are a great way to meet that goal.
24．What is the purpose of Gentile's book program
A．To sell more books. B．To attract more customers.
C．To collect money for a new project. D．To inspire reading and recycling.
25．How did Gentile come up with the idea
A．Working with a school to recycle cans. B．Seeing school kids don't like reading.
C．Donating books to a local school. D．Buying a “suspended” book for a child.
26．Who pay for the books in the project
A．The government. B．Gentile himself.
C．Some publishers. D．His customers.
27．What's the best title for the text
A．An Italian's Reading Initiative B．Recycling Cans Gets Kids Free Books
C．Gentile's Way of Doing Business D．A New Way to Deal with Plastic Waste

If I scratch your back and you scratch mine, then we're both better off as a result — so goes the principle of reciprocity. As humans, we are familiar with the concept, whether it is by buying rounds of drinks or expelling diplomats. But do animals also help those who help them The answer may be yes. A paper by Dolivo and Taborsky shows that Norway rats will only give as good as they get.
In their laboratory, Dolivo and Taborsky first trained rats to pull a stick that provided a food item within the reach of a rat in a neighboring cage separated from them by wire mesh (铁丝网).
They then introduced a further treatment in which an experimental rat was placed in a cage with other caged rats on either side. On one side the rat pulled a stick that provided pieces of carrot to the rat in the central cage, while the other pulled a stick that produced banana pieces.
In the following trials the focal rat(the one in the central cage) had the opportunity to repay the other rats using the same stick tool to deliver food items.
Now, the rats had typically turned their noses up at the carrot and showed a strong preference for the more desirable banana. On the basis that the banana providing rat should be therefore remembered as the superior partner, the authors predicted that in the test phase (阶段) the focal rat would more readily provide help for banana－offering rats than for carrot－offering rats. This proved to be the case: the rats that had provided better help in the past received greater rewards — it seemed that they were behaving reciprocally.
Dolivo and Taborsky's experiments show that rats can recall the quality of help provided and by which rat, and adjust their behavior so as to invest more time and energy in helping those that helped them. It is apparent that we shouldn't undervalue the ability of animals to engage in reciprocity.
28．What does the underlined word “reciprocity” probably refer to
A．The act of being kind to other people. B．A cooperative exchange of favors.
C．A positive attitude to everything. D．The quality of being generous.
29．What would happen if a rat pulled the stick
A．It would find some food in its own cage. B．Other rats would be able to enter its cage.
C．Another rat in another cage would get food. D．It would be able to enter a neighboring cage.
30．Which got more benefit from the focal rat
A．The rats that preferred carrot pieces. B．The rats that preferred banana pieces.
C．The rats that had provided carrot pieces. D．The rats that had provided banana pieces.
31．Which of the following might Dolivo and Taborsky agree with
A．Some animals may return others' help. B．Norway rats have very poor memories.
C．It is hard to explain the ability of animals. D．Rats' behavior is very uncommon.
D
Antarctica remained largely untouched by humans for thousands of years, allowing an ecosystem to develop independently. However, since the 1990s, the last wild land on the planet is becoming an increasingly popular destination for adventure－seeking tourists. Now, a study newly conducted shows the visitors may be leaving behind harmful bacteria which could destroy that area's bird population.
We mainly hear about zoonoses (动物传染病) — diseases like Ebola and pig flu — that are spread from animals to humans, yet humans can also infect animals with illnesses such as the flu. Researchers, however, believed that Antarctic animals, which had no recorded reverse (反向的) cases of zoonoses, were not affected by the danger due to the extreme environment. But microbiologists Marta Cerdà－Cuéllar at the Research Center for Animal Health, was not convinced this was true.
So she and some colleagues decided to examine waste samples from Antarctic birds for evidence of human bacteria. To ensure the waste was not polluted, the scientists had to collect it from the birds themselves. This was no easy task. It took the scientists four years to collect waste samples of 666 adult birds from 24 local species. However, it was well worth the effort. The results of their study showed the presence of several types of human bacteria in the bird waste.
“The bacteria, which are a common cause for infections in humans, don't usually cause death in wild animals，” says Cerdà Cuéllar.“However, the pathogens (病原体) that arrive to highly sensitive populations could cause extinction of some populations and destroy the local ecosystem.” The researcher also fears the presence of these bacteria could foresee the arrival of other, more deadly, pathogens as the number of people visiting the area increases. While the best solution would be to prevent tourism, Cerdà－Cuéllar，who believes it is because of efforts from tourist and scientific groups that Antarctica remains largely protected, says that's impossible. “While we should do as much as possible to reduce the spread, it's hard to believe we'll stop tourism and science at these sites, and so it is hard to believe that humans won't continue to pass on pathogens.”
32．Which of the following will the new study support
A．The Antarctic becomes popular with tourists.
B．The Antarctic ecosystem is destroyed by outsiders.
C．Zoonoses are spread from animals to humans.
D．Tourists expose Antarctic birds to human bacteria.
33．Why did researchers think Antarctic animals were free from human diseases
A．The Antarctic weather is extraordinarily cold.
B．The number of tourists to the Antarctic is small.
C．There was no recorded case of reverse zoonoses.
D．An independent ecosystem was in place in Antarctica.
34．What advice might Cerdà－Cuéllar give
A．Strengthen researches into Antarctic animals.
B．Stop tourism and science in Antarctica.
C．Restrict the number of visitors to Antarctica.
D．Monitor the presence of other pathogens.
35．In which section of a magazine might the text be found
A．Health. B．Science. C．Tourism. D．Geography.

Four simple ways to stay positive
Trying to stay positive, both in good times and bad times, is a great way to improve your quality of life. Try these four methods on a daily basis.
Don't think a lot about negativity.
Of course, staying positive 24 hours a day, seven days a week is a bit difficult. Letting things get to you is normal. In fact, it's just healthy to cry or express frustrations once in a while. It's when those negative moments control your life that your emotional balance is at risk. __36__ However, don't give that sadness another second in your day.
__37__
According to psychology, what you put into your body directly affects how you feel on the outside. Fill yourself with good, healthy foods like nuts, fruit and vegetables and limit snacking. Exercise is equally of great importance. Take a few days out of your week for at least half an hour of activity, and try to stick to a routine. __38__
Be kind to others.
__39__ Making someone's day a bit brighter not only puts a smile on his or her face, but also yours as well. Remember to smile and treat each person with respect. Good deeds are contagious (有感染力的), and your positive attitude may spread among others.
Take it one day at a time.
Being positive and keeping away from feeling pessimistic isn't an easy thing. It's a steady effort that we follow every hour of every day. __40__ Instead, focus on living in the moment and doing what you can to make each moment better.
A．Eat healthily and stay fit.
B．Take your lunch breaks outside.
C．Don't worry about what the future may bring.
D．Take a few minutes to feel sad and accept what happened.
E．Good feelings come from acts of kindness and selflessness.
F．Gratefulness helps you appreciate life in bad times.
G．Even going outside for a walk and enjoying the sunshine improves your mood.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Last Christmas my older sister Jane got a unicycle (独轮脚踏车) she had requested. I thought it kind of strange, wondering why she would want something like that. She did ride and practice for a while, but eventually stopped.
Curious, I tried it, finding it very hard and thinking it impossible for a weak girl like me to learn. Since our dining room of our old house had low beams (屋梁), I used them like monkey bars to practice riding, which helped a lot. Because I thought it was really fun, I practiced every spare moment I had, teaching myself to go forwards, backwards and to turn. Practicing was something I loved to do in my spare time, but it did get discouraging when I fell. After months of practicing. I finally made it.
One morning, our teacher Maria excitedly announced that a school talent show was to be held to raise money for charity. She encouraged my classmates to sign up for it. I'm not always the best in front of a crowd, which was why I was very nervous when I meant to put on my performance by doing a hula hoop (圈) and riding a unicycle on stage. But I overcame my fear and entered myself for the talent show, for which I practiced a lot in case I should mess up.
My routine (整套动作) was to do the hula hoop from my neck, down to my stomach, then to my knees. After that, I was to ride my unicycle forwards and backwards on stage. Lastly I would do the hula hoop while riding the unicycle. I was to do all this accompanied by my carefully selected music. I wondered what people from my seventh grade would think of my performance. With my friends inspiring me, I built up my confidence. On the night of the show, many people found out there was going to be a unicycle performance, so more came, even the headmaster.

Text 10
London's Chinese community dates back to the 18th century, when a small number of Chinese sailors moved to the city to work in the dock area of Limehouse, east London. As time went on, Chinese people came to this area, mainly to open shops and cafes, and Limehouse began to known as “Chinatown”. However, London's Chinese community remained very small for many years. At the start of the 20th century, there were just 545 Chinese people in Britain.
This situation changed after World War Ⅱ.At that time, many farmers in Hong Kong lost their jobs, and decided to immigrate to London. As Limehouse had been destroyed during the war, these new immigrants lived in a different area — a part of central London near Leicester Square. This area is now what Londoners call Chinatown.
At first, the new settlers found it difficult to get jobs. In the 1950s, however, a small Chinese restaurant opened in central London. Many British people visited it and praised that Chinese food was wonderful! Suddenly, Chinese restaurants started opening in every part of the city. This raised a question: instead of too little work, the new Chinese immigrants now found that they had too much! They worked very long hours as cooks, managers or waiters. Most of the people enjoyed their lives and the chances they were offered. Many arranged for their friends and relatives to join them from overseas, and a lot of families were reunited at this time.
As time went by, London's Chinese community became more and more successful. The sons and daughters of the restaurant workers, encouraged by their parents, studied very hard at school and university, and most went on to get highly paid jobs. As a result, a large number of Chinese families left Chinatown and moved to the more expensive places. Chinatown, however, is still as lively as ever.

参考范文：
Iwasbothnervousandexcitedwhenitwasmyturn. I had a deep breath and then rode my unicycle towards the stage. When I heard the music, I started to put the hula hoop in my neck. Carefully, I moved it down to my stomach. Everything seemed good. The audience applauded for me when the hula hoop was about to my knees. And then, an unlucky thing happened. I didn't ride backwards firmly so I tumbled. At that moment I felt my heart was broken. However, after a very short rest, I stood up with my red face. I tried again and finally, I made it. Seeing this, all the audience cheered and applauded happily.
WhenIgothome, Icouldn'twaittocheckmymobilephoneleftathome. My deskmate Mary sent the performance video to me and expressed that she was so proud of me. There were also many messages from my classmates and teachers, which encouraged me a lot. Not only could I challenge myself, but also I helped my school raise money for charity in this performance.
