19、gs.BIn a building located in North London, a team of artisans (工匠) were busy with work putting the finishing touches on a custom handmade globe. With the dock ticking, the artisans at Bellerby & Co., a globemaking studio, only had a few days left before the final piece a globe measuring over four fe

20、et in diameter was shipped to a customer awaiting its arrival in Italy. From start to finish, it took artisans almost a year to complete the project. However, the end result was worth the wait.Peter Bellerby, the companys founder, says it took him over two years before getting his footing as a globe

21、maker, and hes still learning something new every day. Before founding the company in 2008, Bellerby worked as a property developer, with a brief time working as a violin maker. The thought of becoming a globemaker never crossed his mind until his father said he wanted a globe for his 80th birthday.

22、 Not pleased with what was available on the market, he decided to try his hand at making a globe himself.Bellerbys studio employs more than 20 artisans, from cartographers who design the gored maps to artists who paint on the details once the spheres (球体) have been made, dipping into a wide range of

23、 paint and ink pots to help bring each globe to life. With a steady hand, artists highlight each continent by shading in borders, coastlines and other geographic details, ensuring that each brush-stroke is perfectly done while also giving each globe a handcrafted touch. Bellerby estimates that about

24、 six people will have touched each globe before its ready to be shipped to a client.That attention to details has also helped globemaking stay relevant (有意义的), especially in modem times when most people turn to Google Maps or some other forms of GPS for geographical information. However, spinning a

25、globe is one way to explore the world without leaving home. In fact, Bellerby saw a roughly 15 percent increase in globe orders compared with previous years.4. What is a big feature of the globes at Bellerby Sc Co.?A. Theyre of a very big size.B. They need to be designed by customers.C. Theyre made

26、without the help of machines.D. They need to be made quickly for customers.5. What inspired Peter Bellerby to start the globemaking business?A. The pleasure of making violins.B. His desire to begin his own company.C. His familiarity with the handmade artworks.D. The inaccessibility to a perfect glob

27、e for his father.6. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Why it takes time to make a globe.B. How Bellerbys studio makes a globe.C. Who makes a globe at Bellerbys studio.D. What artists at Bellerbys studio consider important.7. What can we know about globes at Bellerbys studio from the last paragraph

28、?A. They can help people travel better.B. They are mainly kept as an artwork.C. They are less precise than digital maps.D. They are becoming more popular than before.CMany of us are disgusted by spiders, or even afraid of them. We dont like to touch them or go near them. But do you know that a spide

29、rs natural color may have many practical applications in our daily life? For example, it can inspire a new shade of blue textiles (纺织品) and offer a solution to glares on the screen of your phone when youre out in the sun.This color is a shade of blue, inspired by the cobalt blue tarantula a species

30、of spider that is native to the rainforests of southeast Asia. What surprised scientists who observed the eight-legged and furry spider was that its color did not change at all, even when viewed from different angles.A team of scientists, led by Bill Hsiung from the University of Akron in Ohio, have

31、 been studying tarantulas for some time. Blue is a rare color in the animal kingdom. The researchers set out to find the exact nature of this blue. They found that the outer body of the tarantula is covered by tiny, crystalline (晶状的) structures which are the same size as the wavelength of light. The

32、se structures act like a mirror and when light strikes them, they reflect only one particular wavelength of light blue. This kind of natural color is referred to as the “structural color”.Usually, when colors are viewed from different angles, they appear different because of how light is reflected.

33、This is because of a phenomenon known as iridescence (虹彩). However, the blue color produced by tarantulas appears the same from all angles. It is the tiny crystals on the tarantulas body arranged in a flower-like shape that reduce iridescence.Scientists have known about structural colors for a while

34、, but they have not seen them used for dye. With a clearer understanding of how “structural colors” work, scientists can now create a similar color to the tarantula blue to dye textiles and other products.8. What is special about the cobalt blue tarantula?A. Its color is unchangeably blue.B. Its sme

35、ll is naturally disgusting.C. Its furs can be made into textiles.D. Its legs look crystal clear in the sun.9. Whats the function of a tarantulas crystalline structures?A. They shorten the wavelength of light.B. They merely reflect the light of blue.C. They determine the size of a tarantula.D. They a

36、bsorb much light on a tarantulas body.10. Whats the authors purpose in writing Paragraph 4?A. To introduce the tarantulas body structures.B. To explain the principle of the structural color.C. To show the phenomenon of color iridescence.D. To discuss the importance of reflection angles to colors.11.

37、 What conclusion can we draw from the last paragraph?A. It is necessary to protect spiders.B. It is time to stop being afraid of spiders.C. It is of practical value to learn from nature.D. It is important for scientists to work as a team.DTake a road trip from Wisconsin up through Northern Minnesota

38、. Look out your window and watch as maple-oak forests gradually give way to plant species like aspens, spruce and birch. This changing view occurs because Northern Minnesota sits between temperate (温带的) forests in the southern US and boreal forests (北方针叶林) to the north. It makes the region an ideal

39、place to track the impact of a warming climate.Scientists have guessed that, as global temperatures rise, plant species of both temperate and boreal forests will move northwards to escape warmer conditions. To test this guess, researchers have been artificially heating 18 small forest plots in the t

40、ransition zone of Northern Minnesota ever since 2012. Using covers and heaters, the team increased air and soil temperatures. The long-term experiment is now offering valuable insights into how our changing climate will affect the structure and ecosystems of boreal and temperate forests.The team fou

41、nd that boreal species, such as balsam fir and white spruce, are less able to emerge and survive under warmer conditions. They measured the boreal forests species amount of photospthesis (光合作用) taking place. Their results show that, as soils dry up in warmer conditions, boreal species reduce their p

42、hotosynthetic rate, reducing the amount of organic matter available for growth. Overall, the seedling species richness in the temperate-boreal forest transition was reduced by warming. The researchers suggest that, unless the temperate species can offset the loss of the boreal species, the overall b

43、iodiversity of these forests is likely to decline.This research is important because temperate and boreal forests contain 46 percent of all trees on earth. Of the global carbon stock stored by forests, boreal forests contain 32 percent, temperate forests 14 percent. In the coming years, boreal fores

44、ts will experience extreme increases in air and soil temperatures. An increase of 1.5C has already been measured, with a rise of between 4C and 6C projected in the next century.12. What made researchers choose Northern Minnesota to perform their experiment?A. Its rich plant species. B. Its easy acce

45、ssibility.C. Its special location.D. Its warm climate.13. What does the long-term experiment focus on?A. The causes of decreasing forest areas.B. The influence of human activities on climate change.C. The changes of forests driven by rising temperatures.D. The decline in the biodiversity of temperat

46、e and boreal forests.14. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Lead to. B. Slow down. C. Add up to. D. Make up for.15. The statistics in the last paragraph show that temperate and boreal forests _.A. absorb less carbon dioxide per square meterB. face a high risk of being hit harder in

47、 the futureC. play an important role in fighting climate changeD. have drawn public attention to environmental protection第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。For Common Communication MistakesIt can be embarrassing to make mistakes in communication.

49、your communications before you send them.Sometimes, it can be difficult to see errors in your own work. So consider asking a colleague to look over key documents before you distribute them.You always deliver bad news by email.Would you announce something bad to others by email? If you did, you could

50、 upset them!

51、. It may seem wise to avoid such conversations. 19 For instance, you may find that a small problem you “let go” soon grows into a big one. Preparation is the key to handling difficult conversations. Learn to give clear, actionable feedback.You are reacting instead of responding.Have you ever shouted

52、 at a colleague in upset, or sent a brief and unfriendly reply to an email, without thinking your point through? If so, youre likely to have reacted emotionally, instead of responding calmly.
