B
If a diver surfaces(浮出水面) too quickly, he may suffer the bends（减压病）. Nitrogen (氮) dissolved (溶解) in his blood is suddenly liberated（释放）by the reduction of pressure. The consequence, if the bubbles (气泡) accumulate in a joint, is sharp pain and a bent body—thus the name. If the bubbles form in his lungs or his brain, the consequence can be death.
Other air-breathing animals also suffer this decompression (减压) sickness if they surface too fast: whales, for example. And so, long ago, did ichthyosaurs(鱼龙). That these ancient sea animals got the bends can be seen from their bones. If bubbles of nitrogen form inside the bone they can cut off its blood supply. This kills the cells in the bone, and consequently weakens it, sometimes to the point of collapse. Fossil (化石) bones that have caved in on themselves are thus a sign that the animal once had the bends.
Bruce Rothschild o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f the University of Kansas knew all this when he began a study of ichthyosaur bones to find out how widespread the problem was in the past. What he particularly wanted to investigate was how ichthyosaurs adapted to the problem of decompression over the 150 million years. To this end, he and his colleagues traveled the world’s natural-history museums, looking at hundreds of ichthyosaurs from the Triassic(三叠纪) period and from the later Jurassic(侏罗纪) and Cretaceous(白垩纪) periods.
When he started, he ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )assumed that signs of the bends would be rarer in younger fossils, reflecting their gradual evolution（进化）of measures to deal with decompression. Instead, he was astonished to discover the opposite. More than 15% of Jurassic and Cretaceous ichthyosaurs had suffered the bends before they died, but not a single Triassic specimen (标本) showed evidence of that sort of injury.
If ichthyosaurs d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )id evolve an anti-decompression means, they clearly did so quickly—and, most strangely, they lost it afterwards. But that is not what Dr Rothschild thinks happened. He suspects it was evolution in other animals that caused the change.
Whales that suffer the bends often do so because they have surfaced to escape a predator (捕食动物) such as a large shark. One of the features of Jurassic oceans was an abundance of large sharks and crocodiles, both of which were fond of ichthyosaur lunches. Triassic oceans, by contrast, were mercifully shark- and crocodile-free. In the Triassic, then, ichthyosaurs were top of the food chain. In the Jurassic and Cretaceous, they were prey (猎物) as well as predator—and often had to make a speedy exit as a result.
( )58. Which of the following is a typical symptom of the bends
A. A twisted bo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )dy. B. A gradual decrease in blood supply.
C. A sudden ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )release of nitrogen in blood. D. A drop in blood pressure.
( )59. The purpose of Rothschild’s study is to see ______.
A. how often ichthyosaurs caught the bends
B. how ichthyosaurs adapted to decompression
C. why ichthyosaurs bent their bodies
D. when ichthyosaurs broke their bones
( )60. Rothschild’s finding stated in Paragraph 4 ______.
A. confirmed h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )is assumption B. speeded up his research process
C. disagreed wit ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )h his assumption D. changed his research objectives
( )61. Rothschild might have concluded that ichthyosaurs ______.
A. failed to evolve an anti-decompression means
B. gradually developed measures against the bends
C. died out because of large sharks and crocodiles
D. evolved an anti-decompression means but soon lost it
C
As the 2016 Presid ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ential election（选举）is approaching, US high school students have become more interested in the election. They hope to have a voice in the process and, ultimately(最终), have a say in deciding the next US president.
Cypress Bay High ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Junior Jacob Wilentz is one such student and he said the country needs change. Although Wilentz will only be 17 this November, he said his opinion still counts.
“Even though I will not be old enough to vote in the next presidential election, my voice matters, as do the voices of every other individual in this country,” Wilentz said. “Discussions I may have with my peers, debates with teachers and communication with my parents allow me to be heard and give my opinions meaning and insight(洞察力).”
Alain Jean, who wa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s the 2008 African American/Caribbean American vote director for Barack Obama in the state of Florida, said teenagers should be paying attention to the presidential election because many high school students will be of voting age by election time. She said candidates(候选人) have views and positions on certain topics that may affect teen’s lives.
Cypress Bay High ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Junior Olivia Ohayon is concerned about issues that younger Americans face, such as the cost of college education.
Ohayon said, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )“I believe it is my responsibility to discuss, and try to persuade my parents and other adults to concern themselves with, the issues important to the younger generation when casting their vote for president.”
Not only do t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eenagers think their voices are important, but some also think parents have to consider the views of their children when casting their vote. According to Lucy Rimalower, a licensed marriage and family therapist(治疗专家), parents must consider whether their vote represents their household and the teens living in it.
Jean said teenag ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ers can also influence the elections in other ways by getting involved in campaigns. She suggests that teenagers who actually believe in one of the candidates find the local headquarters(总部) for a campaign and volunteer. Campaign volunteers stuff envelopes, wave signs and go into neighborhoods to drop off literature(宣传材料) and try to get the word out.
( )62. Which of the following statements is TURE
A. Most US high ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) school students have the right to vote in the presidential election.
B. Teenagers can ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) influence the election by expressing their opinions.
C. Wilentz is i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nterested in the election because he enjoys debates and discussions.
D. Students below ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) voting age are not allowed to participate in election campaigns.
( )63. According to Alain Jean, _______________.
A. teenagers are too young to take part in the election
B. the candidates’ views could influence students’ lives
C. candidates should pay more attention to teenagers’ opinions
D. students should be prepared for voting from an early age
( )64. Accordin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g to Rimalower, parents should consider the views of their children during the
election because _____________.
A. they should respect their children’s right to vote
B. the ele ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ction process could help their children develop debating and thinking skills
C. their votes sho ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uld represents not only themselves but also other family members
D. they could reduce the cost of education for their children
( )65. What can we infer from the article
A. Parents do not like their children to participate in elections.
B. Many people ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) encourage teenagers’ involvement in the election process.
C. Candidates ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )who care more about the younger generation’s issues are more likely to win.
D. Student ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s who are interested in elections only care about themselves.

Mountaineers can be a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )pretty tough crowd—and among them the British Joe Simpson has legendary status. In 1985, Simpson set out to climb Siula Grande in South America. Shortly after he reached the peak, Simpson fell through an overhanging ledge of snow and broke his leg. At this altitude a broken leg means almost certain death, but Simpson somehow managed to drag himself across fields of ice and stone until he reached base camp eight kilometers away. He chose immediate goals, such as reaching a nearby rock, and then gave himself a time limit to get there. Over and over again Simpson broke the main task down into smaller goals.
Break your main tas ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )k into smaller goals. This is often the key to a successful plan to achieve challenging objectives that seem to be “mission impossible”.
Language learning, si ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )milar to mountain climbing to some extent, is a daunting task facing most language learners. However, learning from the above story, we can apply Simpson’s method to language study. My top tips for designing a study plan are as follows:
1. Understand what kind of learner you are.
Some people are “visua ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l learners” and remember best by seeing pictures and visualizing things in their mind; others are “auditory” and are happy to learn by listening; “kinesthetic” learners tend to learn by doing things and experience.
2. Realize your own competence.
What are your stren ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )gths and weaknesses Which skill or skills are you going to improve most Allocate your time to each skill appropriately. It is better to do a little every day than try to “cram” (死记硬背)lots in a short space of time.
3. Write down your plan on a calendar.
Decide which ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) skill and what area you are going to practice each day. More importantly, your plan should be specific and practical. Once you have a clear goal in your mind, write it down on your calendar. Each day you should carry out your plan according to your schedule. Do not delay or make up any excuses because you fail to complete your daily task.
Studying is like cl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )imbing a mountain and you should take one step at a time. At first sight, a mountain may seem extremely high and it is impossible for you to reach its peak. However, when you set out to climb it step by step you will find that it is not so difficult as you think. Similarly, it is also true in language learning. You can improve your language skills in each aspect step by step. Don’t be frightened by the seemingly hard task. Break it into smaller goals and you will fulfill your dream.

One possible version:
As is vividly show ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n in the cartoon, modern life has been dominated by computers. Whether a person is working, studying or playing, he is always staying in front of a computer. Even when he sleeps, what is in his dream is still the computer.
The reasons w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hy modern people are tied up with computers are as follows. On the one hand, there is no denying that the computer is currently the most efficient tool to meet the needs of their work or to entertain themselves. But on the other hand, many people admit that they are too much addicted to computers to maintain face-to-face contact with their friends and colleagues.
Hence, it’s necessary for us to use computers in a reasonable way. After all, the computer is invented to connect you and me, and to bring conveniences to our life rather than set a barrier to keep people beyond reach. (150词)

Because of the rain, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the basketball game will not be held on the playground of our school. Instead, it will be held in the basketball hall at the Youth Sports Center. As a result, you all have to go to the sports center to cheer for our school team. Buses will be leaving school at 2:30 pm to take you there. You’ll be returning to school to catch your usual buses home by 5:30 pm. Now here are the detailed arrangements. All of you are supposed to be at the front gate by 2:20 pm. Class 1 and 2 will take the first two buses and Class 3 and 4 will take the last two buses. It’ll take about twenty minutes for you to get to the sports center. You have ten minutes to find your seats and get seated before the game begins at 3:00 pm. Water will be provided at the sports center.
That’s all. Thank you.
