A
The Brown Bear
The bear hit at the camera, cutting it off the tripod. I raised my left arm to protect my face; the beast held tightly on the tripod and pressed it into my side. My arm could not move, and I sensed that my bones were going to break. www.com
Drawing back my free hand, I struck the bear as hard as I could for five to six times. The bear opened its mouth and I grasped its fur, trying to push it away. I was actually wrestling (扭打) with the bear at this point. Then, as suddenly as it had begun, the fight ended. The bear moved back toward the forest, before returning for another attack----- The first time I felt panic.
Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat, the bear moved off, destroying a fence as it went. My arm was injured, but the outcome for us could hardly have been better. I’m proud that my family remained clear-headed when panic could have led to a very different outcome.
1.The brown bear approached the family in order to _________.
A. catch shore birds B. start an attack C. protect the children D. set up a barrier for itself
2.The bear finally went away after it _________.
A. felt safe B. got injured C. found some food D. took away the camera
3.The writer and his family survived mainly due to their _________.
A. pride B. patience C. calmness D. cautiousness
B
Most people agree that honesty is a good thing. But does Mother Nature agree? Animals can’t talk, but can they lie in other ways? Can they lie with their bodies and behavior?
Animal?experts?may?not?call?it?lying,?but?they?do?agree?that?many?animals,?from birds to chimpanzees, behave dishonestly to fool other animals. Why? Dishonesty often helps them survive.
Many?kinds?of?birds?are?very?successful?at?fooling?other?animals.?For?example,?a?bird?called?the?plover?sometimes?pretends?to?be?hurt?in?order?to?protect?its?young.?When?a predator (猎食动物) gets close to its nest, the plover leads the predator away from the nest. How? It pretends to have a broken wing. The predator follows the “hurt” adult, leaving the baby birds safe in the nest.
Another?kind?of?bird,?the?scrub?jay,?buries?its?food?so?it?always?has?something?to?eat.?Scrub? jays?are?also?thieves.?They?watch?where?others?bury?their?food?and?steal?it.?But clever scrub jays seem to know when a thief is watching them. So they go back later, unbury the food, and bury it again somewhere else.
Birds called cuckoos have found a way to have babies without doing much work. How? They don’t make nests. Instead, they get into other birds’ nests secretly. Then they lay their eggs and fly away. When the baby birds come out, their adoptive parents feed them.
Chimpanzees,?or?chimps,?can?also?be?sneaky.?After?a?fight,?the?losing?chimp?will?give its hand to the other. When the winning chimp puts out its hand, too, the chimps are friendly again. But an animal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winner’s hand and start fighting again.
Chimps?are?sneaky?in?other?ways,?too.?When?chimps?find?food?that?they?love,?such?as?
bananas,?it?is?natural?for them?to?cry?out.?Then?other?chimps?come?running.?But some clever chimps learn to cry very softly when they find food. That way, other chimps don’t hear them, and they don’t need to share their food.
As?children,?many?of?us?learn?the?saying?"You?can't?fool?Mother?Nature."?But?maybe?you?can't?trust?her,?either.?
4.A?plover?protects?its?young?from?a?predator?by _________?
A.?getting?closer?to?its?young?????????????? B.?driving?away?the?adult?predator?
C.?leaving?its?young?in?another?nest???? D.?pretending?to?be?injured?
5.By?"Chimpanzees,?or?chimps,?can?also?be?sneaky"?,?the?author?means _______.
A.?chimps?are?ready?to?attack?others??? B.?chimps?are?sometimes?dishonest
C.?chimps?are?jealous?of?the?winners?? D.?chimps?can?be?selfish?too
6.Which?of?the?following?is?true?according?to?the?passage??
A.?Some?chimps?lower?their?cry?to?keep?food?away?from?others.?
B.?The?losing?chimp?won?the?fight?by?taking?the?winner's?hand.?
C.?Cuckoos?fool?their?adoptive?parents?by?making?no?nests.?
D.?Some?clever?scrub?jays?often?steal?their?food?back.?
7.Which?of?the?following?might?be?the?best?title?of?the?passage??
A.?Do?animals?lie?????????????????????? B.?Does?Mother?Nature?fool?animals??
C.?How?do?animals?learn?to?lie???????????? D.?How?does?honesty?help?animals?survive?
C
People in South Korea who feel they can no longer bear the stress of everyday life now can choose to stay in a prison to relax and think deeply.
In a society where pressure to do well in school and find highly-paid jobs is intense, a former lawyer came up with an extreme relaxation idea. Kwon Yong-seok created the “Prison Inside Me”—a stress-reduction center with a punishment theme. People come here to cut themselves off from the outside world and pay to be kept in 60-square-foot (5.6-square-meter) cells (囚室).
Located on the outskirts of Hongcheon, about 58 miles (93 km) northeast of Seoul, “Prison Inside Me” came to life after Mr. Kwon voluntarily asked to spend time behind bars for “healing reasons,” but his request was turned down. “I didn’t know how to stop working back then,” he said. “I felt like I was being swept away against my will, and it seemed I couldn’t control my own life.” So, Kwon and his wife Roh Ji-hyang decided to take matters into their own hands, and designed and built a prison-like spiritual center. The construction was completed in June last year and cost about 2 billion won ($19 million).
The facility includes 28 cells, furnished with only a toilet, a sink and a small table, where guests can spend time alone, thinking about life and enjoying private thinking periods. Moreover, guests can also join group thinking periods in the hall, where they are given instructions on how to free themselves from what Mr. Kwon calls the “inner prison” to find inner peace.
According to the Wall Street Journal, hundreds of stressed South Koreans are checking in at the stress-reduction facility to think about their lives and regain control of it. A two-night stay at “Prison Inside Me” costs 150,000 won ($146).
Mr. Kwon and his wife explained that at the beginning they had a different plan for the “relaxation center,” and imagined a longer stay for their guests, but, given that people weren’t able to take more time off, they had to reduce the length of stays to just two days.
Park Woo-sub, a guest at “Prison Inside Me,” said the experience helped him a lot. “This is my third time in prison. Being kept in a prison makes me hard to breathe, but it also offers time to focus only on me and spend some quiet time with myself.”
Others said the experience would have been more helpful if the conditions had been poorer, like in a real prison.
8.Paragraph 3 mainly tells us ______.
A. where “Prison Inside Me” is located B. what people can do in “Prison Inside Me”
C. how “Prison Inside Me” came into being D. when “Prison Inside Me” was completed
9.Which of the statements is true?
A. people in South Korea prefer living under great pressure
B. Mr. Kwon had intended to let guests stay at “Prison Inside Me” for over two days
C. most people in South Korea can not afford to stay at “Prison Inside Me”
D. the 28 cells are well furnished, but with no toilets in them
10.We can know from the passage that ______.
A. many people have been kept in such a prison at least three times
B. it is not a good idea for people to focus only on themselves
` C. people find it not difficult to breathe though the prison is small
D. some still felt a bit unsatisfied as the conditions weren’t poor enough
11.Who should go to the “Prison Inside Me”?
A. A successful businessman B. A criminal at large C. A primary student D. A depressed man
12.What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Many South Koreans voluntarily go to “prison” to reduce stress.
B. Many South Koreans can hardly bear the stress of daily life.
C. South Koreans should spend more time alone thinking about life.
D. South Koreans have found the best way to deal with everyday pressure.

五、缺词填空（每空一词）
It must drive you mad when you are watching a movie online and it suddenly s 1 and loads (载入) again. But don’t be angry. The problem may be solved in the near future.
On March 14th, Premier (总理) Li Keqiang said the government should i 2 Internet services. Only one day later, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (工信部) replied that they would take action to develop the Internet for a h 3 speed and lower costs.
Terrible Internet speeds have caused much trouble in China. According to a recent survey that was made by Sina, 66 % of people were not s 4 with China’s Internet.
China’s Internet connection speed is s 5 than that in many other countries. The average (平均) Internet speed in China was 4.25 megabits (兆位) per second (Mbps) in late 2014. South Korea had the fastest speed. It was 25.3 Mbps. People can download a 1 GB movie within six minutes in South Korea, b 6 in China it would take half an hour.
But sadly, the p 7 for the bad Internet is not low in China. The survey shows that nearly 70 % of people spent ￥50-200 a month on Internet services.
The most important thing we need to do now is to b 8 more fiber networks (光纤网络). Through fibers, we can send texts, music, pictures and videos in l 9 than a second. We also need to have more companies to e 10 competition so that we will offer better services, said The Beijing News.

The facility includes 28 cells, furnished with only a toilet, a sink and a small table, where guests can spend time alone, thinking about life and enjoying private thinking periods. Moreover, guests can also join group thinking periods in the hall, where they are given instructions on how to free themselves from what Mr. Kwon calls the “inner prison” to find inner peace.
According to the Wall Street Journal, hundreds of stressed South Koreans are checking in at the stress-reduction facility to think about their lives and regain control of it. A two-night stay at “Prison Inside Me” costs 150,000 won ($146).
Mr. Kwon and his wife explained that at the beginning they had a different plan for the “relaxation center,” and imagined a longer stay for their guests, but, given that people weren’t able to take more time off, they had to reduce the length of stays to just two days.
Park Woo-sub, a guest at “Prison Inside Me,” said the experience helped him a lot. “This is my third time in prison. Being kept in a prison makes me hard to breathe, but it also offers time to focus only on me and spend some quiet time with myself.”
Others said the experience would have been more helpful if the conditions had been poorer, like in a real prison.
