13、nly among those with whom he is familiar. When a stranger is present, he often seems nervous, 22 embarrassed. You have to take a commuter train any morning or evening to witness the truth of this. Serious-looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or 23 off in a corner; hardly anybod

14、y talks, since to do so would be considered quite offensive(冒犯的). 24, there is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior, which, once 25, makes the offender immediately the object of criticism.One of the few things we can say about the British with certainty is that a British 26 the discu

15、ssion of their weather and that, if given a chance, he will talk about it 27. Some people argue that it is because the British weather 28 follows forecast and thus becomes a source of interest to everyone. This may be so. Certainly a British cannot have much faith in the weathermen, whose prediction

16、s, in many cases, 29 to be wrong! The man in the street seems to be as accurate(准确的) or as inaccurate as the weathermen in his 30.Foreigners may be surprised at the number of references 31 weather that the British make to each other in the course of a single day. Very often conversational greetings

17、are 32 by comments on the weather. “Nice day, isnt it?” “Beautiful day!” may well be heard instead of “Good morning, how are you?” 33the foreigner may consider this exaggerated (夸大)and comic, it is worthwhile pointing out that it could be used to his advantage. If he wants to start a conversation wi

18、th a British but is at a loss to know where to begin, he could do well to mention the state of the weather. It is a(n)34 subject to which a response may well be 35of even the most reserved of the British.21. A. relaxed B. frustrated C. amused D. exhausted22. A. yet B. otherwise C. even D. so23. A. w

He studied the observations of comets(彗星) which other scientists had made. The orbit(轨道) of one particular comet was a v

22、ery difficult mathematical problem. He could not figure it out. Neither could other scientists who dealt with such problems.However, Halley had a friend named Isaac Newton, who was a brilliant mathematician. Newton thought he had already worked out that problem, but he could not find the papers on w

23、hich he had done it. He told Halley that the orbit of a comet had the shape of an ellipse(椭圆).Now Halley set to work. He figured out the orbits of some of the comets that had been observed by scientists. He made a surprising discovery. The comets that had appeared in the years 1531, 1607 and 1682 al

24、l had the same orbit. Yet their appearances had been 75 to 76 years apart.This seemed very strange to Halley. Three different comets followed the same orbit. The more Halley thought about, the more he thought that there had not been three different comets, as people thought. He decided that they had

25、 simply seen the same comet three times. The comet had gone away and had come back again.It was an astonishing idea! Halley felt certain enough to make a prediction of what would happen in the future. He decided that this comet would appear in the year 1758. There were 53 years to go before Halleys

26、prediction could be tested.In 1758 the comet appeared in the sky. Halley did not see it, for he had died some years before. Ever since then that comet had been called Halleys comet, in his honour.36. Halley made his discovery_. A. by doing experiments B. by means of his own careful observationC. by

27、using the work of other scientists D. by chance37. Halley made a surprising but correct prediction in the year_.A.1704 B. 1705 C. 1706 D. 170738. This text in general is about_.A. Halley and other scientists B. the orbit of a cometC. Newton and Halley D. Halley and his discoveryBLondons newest skysc

28、raper(摩天大楼)is called the Shard and it cost about 430 million pounds to build. At a height of almost 310 metres, it is the tallest building in Europe. The Shard has completely changed the appearance of London. However, not everyone thinks that it is a change for the better.The Shard was designed by t

29、he famous Italian architect Renzo Piano. When he began designing the Shard for London, Piano wanted a very tall building that looked like a spire(尖顶).He wanted the glass surfaces to reflect the sky and the city. The sides of the building arent regular. So the building has an unusual shape. It looks

30、like a very thin, sharp piece of broken glass. And that is how the building got the name: the Shard. Piano says that the spire shape of the Shard is part of a great London tradition. The shape reminds him of the spires of the churches of London or the tall masts(桅杆)of the ships that were once on the

31、 river Thames.The Shard has 87 floors. At the top, there is an observatory. At the moment the building is empty, but eventually there will be a five-star hotel. There will also be top quality restaurants, apartments and offices.Before building work began, a lot of people didnt want the Shard though

32、the plans were approved. Now they are still unhappy about the Shard. Some critics say that such a tall skyscraper might be good in a city like New York, but not in London. They say that the best thing about the Shard is its spire shape. But that is the only thing. There is no decoration, only flat s

33、urfaces. The Egyptians did that 4,500 years ago. They also think the Shard is too big for London. It destroys the beauty of the city.Other critics dont like what the Shard seems to represent. They say that the Shard shows how London is becoming more unequal. Only very rich people can afford to buy t

34、he expensive private apartments and stay in the hotel. But the people who live near the Shard are among the poorest in London. So the Shard seems a symbol of the division in society between the very rich and the poor.The Shard now dominates the London skyline. It is not certain, however, that ordina

35、ry London citizens will ever accept it as a valuable addition to the city.39.Londons newest skyscraper is called the Shard because of_.A. its size B. its cost C. its shape D. its height40.When he designed the Shard, Piano wanted it to_.A. change Londons skyline B. inherit Londons traditionC. follow

36、the Egyptian style D. attract potential visitors41.The critics who refer to social division think the Shard_.A. is only preferred by the rich B. is far away from the poor areaC. is intended for wealthy people D. is popular only with Londoners42.Which would be the best title for the passage?A. The Sh

37、ard: Cheers and Claps B. The Shard: Work of a Great ArchitectC. The Shard: New Symbol of London? D. The Shard: A Change for the Better? CWhat will the future be like? Good or bad? A lot of science-fiction writing imagines a world which is dark and scary. In Blade Runner, Harrison Ford hunts robots i

38、n a chaotic (混乱的) Los Angeles. Planet of the Apes shows a hopeless future for humankind.Theres a word to describe the kind of future world which often appears in science fiction: dystopia. It means an imagined place where things are unpleasant or bad. The opposite is utopia. But does tomorrows world

39、 have to be so disappointing?No. A new project wants to use the power of science fiction to inspire people to create a better future. Project Hieroglyph brings together writers, scientists, engineers and artists to create optimistic stories about things which really could happen in the next 50 years

40、.Its just a matter of making an effort. Experts say its easier to create a dystopia than write a feel-good story. Theres more conflict in a world full of problems, and stories are interesting when there are a lot of problems to solve. No challenge, no story!But the project produced a book with some

41、promising plots. One of them is about environmentalists who fight to stop entrepreneurs (创业者) from building the first hotel in Antarctica. Well, theres conflict there and it seems reasonable, so it could be a good story.But will these stories actually change anything or just keep us entertained? Ed

42、Finn, the books editor, thinks the former. He says: A good science-fiction story can be very powerful. It can inspire hundreds, thousands, millions of people to do something that they want to do.The influence of science fiction can already be seen in modern research, says Professor Braden Allenby. H

43、e asks: Why are people working on, for example, invisibility cloaks (斗篷)? Well, its Harry Potter, right?Time will tell how far we can go. Lets dream big and think outside the box. Who knows the wonderful things we can come up with?43. The underlined word “utopia” in paragraph 2 most probably means “

44、_”.A. a real world where people can do anything they likeB. an imagined place where things are unpleasant or badC. an imaginary perfect world where everyone is happyD. a wild and terrible place where no one can live happily44. Experts say its easier to create a dystopia than a feel-good story becaus

45、e _.A. a dystopia needs less imagination B. a feel-good story is more interestingC. there is no conflict in a feel-good story D. there are more problems to solve in a dystopia45. Professor Braden Allenby takes “invisibility cloaks” as an example _.A. to cause readers attention B. to amuse science fi

46、ction readersC. to introduce a science fiction story D. to show the influence of science fiction46. What is the best title for the passage?A. What is science fiction? B. Can science fiction help us?C. What will man do in the future? D. Shall we live a better life in the future?DIf you wear glasses,

47、chances are that you are smarter. Research published in the famous British journal Nature Communications has found that people who displayed higher levels of intelligence were almost 30 percent more likely to wear glasses.The scientists studied the genes of thousands of people between the ages of 16

48、 and 102.The study showed intelligence can be connected to physical characteristics. One characteristic was eyesight. In out of 10 people who were more intelligent, there was a higher chance that they needed glasses. Scientists also said being smarter has other benefits. It is connected to better he

49、alth.It is important to remember these are connections which are not proven causes. Scientists call this correlation. Just because something is connected to something else does not mean one of those things caused the other. And its worth noting that what consists of intelligence is subjective and ca

50、n be difficult, if not impossible, to measure.Forget genes(基因) though. Plenty of proof shows wearing glasses makes people think you are more intelligent, even if you do not need glasses. A number of studies have found people who wear glasses are seen as smarter, hard-working and honest. Many lawyers

51、 use this idea to help win their cases. Lawyer Harvey Solves explained this. Glasses soften their appearance. He said sometimes there has been a huge amount of proof showing that people he was defending broke the law. He had them wear glasses and they werent found guilty.Glasses are also used to sho

52、w someone is intelligent in movies and on TV. Ideas about people who wear glasses have begun to shift. People who do not need glasses sometimes wear them for fashion only. They want to look worldly or cool. But not everyone is impressed by this idea, though. GQ magazine said people who wear glasses

53、for fashion are trying too hard to look smart and hip (时髦的). However, that hasnt stopped many celebrities from happily wearing glasses even if they do not need them. Justin Bieber is just one high-profile fan of fashion glasses.47. What does the new study show?A. People wearing glasses are smarter.B

54、. People wearing glasses are healthier.C. Wearing glasses can make people cleverer.D. Wearing glasses is associated with higher IQ.48. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Shift B. Link C. Proof D. Consequence49. Why do some lawyers ask their clients to wear glasses in court?A. Becau

55、se it can create a moral image.B. Because it can mislead the witnesses.C. Because it can highlight clients qualities.D. Because it can prove the clients innocence.50. What is the general attitude to those who wear glasses for fashion?A. Positive B. Negative C. Mixed D. Indifferent第二节（共5小题; 每小题2.5分，满

Use of colors should be made in abundance (丰富) as that is what attracts a child first to it. Displaying examples of art

59、work that you think would be important enough to influence the children is also a good idea. Of course, a photograph of a painting of the Madonna (圣母马利亚) is something that children might not appreciate. 54 This will be a source of inspiration for the children to try them out as well.The creative pro

60、cess is something that you must not interfere with (干涉) during a children art education class. 55 But after that, you must wait for the children themselves to come up with something meaningful to their ability.
