Emma began to receive hundreds of online unpleasant comments via the latest social networking site called .In March 2011, Emma committed suicide and although all a

17、greed that the online bother was not the single factor that led to Emma death, everyone did agree that it was a contributory factor.Unfortunately, Emma story is not unique. A 2010 study conducted by the Cyberbullying Research Center states: “Cyberbullying victims were almost twice as likely to have

18、attempted suicide compared to youth who had not experienced cyberbullying. Girls are 57% more likely to be victims of aggressive cyberbullying and 92% more likely to be the criminals.”Suicide is obviously the extreme and no one can minimize the tragedy of it. However, there are other damages that oc

19、cur as a result of aggressive bullying. It can damage self-confidence and lead to feelings of worthlessness, and also increase social isolation and make victims become withdrawn, depressed, anxious, and unsafe. So what causes girls to be so unkind towards each other?A term known as relational aggres

20、sion may best describe the cause of girl on girl bullying. It starts with a clique (派系) usually led by a girl with a high level of social status and popularity. In order not to lose her position, she will control girls within the clique and take action if she feels threatened. At the leaders directi

21、ve the girls within the clique will spread rumors and lies and annoy other girls continuously.The bullying starts at school but will quickly go to cyberbullying due to anonymity (匿名) and lack of punishment. Girls will easily do so in the anonymity of the Internet. Finally the cause will be summarize

22、d as the unsafety and jealousy of one girl and the twisted loyalty of members within her clique.

The judge said，“You may go to prison，or you may go to Camp Green Lake.”Stanley was from a poor family. He had never been to camp before. So， Stanley Yelnats seems set to serve an easy

26、sentence，which is only fair because he is as innocent as you or me. But Stanley is not going where he thinks he is.Camp Green Lake is like no other camp anywhere. It is a place that has no lake and nothing green. Nor is it a camp，at least not the kind of camp kids look forward to in the summertime.

27、It is only a desert wasteland，dotted with countless holes dug by the boys who live at the camp.At Camp Green Lake，the warden(看守)makes the boys“ build character” by spending all day, every day, digging holes：five feet wide and five feet deep. It doesnt take long for Stanley to realize theres more tha

28、n character improvement going on at Camp Green Lake. The boys are digging holes because the warden is searching for something，and before long Stanley begins his own searchfor the truth. Fate is to find a solution to it allthe family curse，the mystery of the holes. The great wheel of justice has grou

33、on Black Friday shoppers were expected to put up with the dark of night and the elbows(手肘)of other shoppers so that they could bring home some bargains, according to the US National Retail Federation.But why does the shopping festival have such a name?The name was first used in Philadelphia in the 1

34、970s. The streets and sidewalks of the city became so packed with traffic and crowds on the day after Thanksgiving Day that the local police did not look forward to it. Because of this, they called the day “Black Friday”, said The Huffington Post. However, others believe that Black Friday takes its

35、name from the fact that because of the increase in sales on the day, shops are able for the first time in the year to move out of the “red” that is, debt and into the “black”, or profit. Businesses, of course, try to take advantage of this day. A decade ago, retailers (零售商) opened at 5 or 6 am. Now,

36、 many of the big stores open at midnight.People really seem to like the whole experience of queuing up before midnight, “for it isnt just about the bargains”, noted CNN. “For many shoppers, its just fun to be part of a large crowd.

D.Peoples mixed feelings toward Black Friday.DMy first job was working for a womens clothes manufacturer at the age of 15.

42、was receiving a wage at the end of the week and sometimes getting clothes for free if they were to my taste. I carried on doing this for only a year, as my studies at school were getting more serious and I wanted to study more to get the right grades.After I had finished college, my first real job w

43、as working for a play publisher in central London. I remember writing a letter of application for the post of administration for Samuel French Limited. I had put so much effort into writing it, not realizing that this would be my first step in the process of finding out what I really wanted to do fo

44、r my future employment. I didnt think I would get the job, but as it turned out, I got a telephone call quickly and started a week later. I remember being excited that I would be working for a publisher in London. Although I had thought I would prefer to work for a book publisher, a play publisher w

45、as just as enjoyable.Looking back now, not all first jobs turn out to be enjoyable. Some of my friends worked in supermarkets while they were at college just to earn a bit of money. I remember thinking how much happier I felt working in a clothes factory than in a supermarket.Years later, I can see

46、how good it is to experience work at an early age, as it gives people the opportunity to decide what kind of career will be most suitable for them one day. The boring task of a job will make a person want to pursue an education to get into the right type of employment, which was what I had realized

47、in the end.48The author did her first job for only a year because _.A.the clothes made there didnt suit her taste B.she really didnt like such a boring job C.she wanted to get the right grades at school D.she didnt get well paid at the end of the week49What can we learn about the author in the third

51、g a novel food and a familiar food hidden in a box. Some baboons were given the chance to watch another baboon who already knew how to solve the task, while others had to learn for themselves. To work out how brave or anxious the baboons were, Dr. Carter presented them either with a novel food or a

52、threat in the form of a model of a poisonous snake.She found that personality had a major impact on learning. The braver baboons learnt, but the shy ones did not learn the task although they watched the baboon perform the task of finding the novel food just as long as the brave ones did. In effect,

53、despite being made aware of what to do, they were still too shy to do what the experienced baboon did.The same held true for anxious baboons compared with calm ones. The anxious individuals learnt the task by observing others while those who were relaxed did not, even though they spent more time wat

54、ching.This mismatch between collecting social information and using it shows that personality plays a key role in social learning in animals, something that has previously been ignored in studies on how animals learn to do things. The findings are significant because they suggest that animals may pe

55、rform poorly in cognitive (认 知的)tasks not because they arent clever enough to solve them，but because they are too shy or nervous to use the social information.The findings may impact how we understand the formation of culture in societies through social learning. If some individuals are unable to ge

56、t information from others because they dont associate with the knowledgeable individuals, or they are too shy to use the information once they have it, information may not travel between all group members, preventing the formation of a culture based on social learning.52What is the first paragraph m

58、hose that can avoid potential risks. C.Those that like to work independently. D.Those that feel anxious about learning.54Which best illustrates the “mismatch” mentioned in Paragraph 4?A.Some baboons are intelligent but slow in learning. B.Some baboons are shy but active in social activities. C.Some

59、baboons observe others but dont follow them. D.Some baboons perform new tasks but dont concentrate.55Dr. Carters findings indicate that our culture might be formed through _.A.storing information B.learning from each other C.understanding different people D.travelling between social groups四、七选五：共5题

60、每题2分 共10分ReforestationAround the world there is an increase in the demand for reforestation. This is because the consumption of the forests has affected not only the animals living in the area but also the people. And reforestation is about the rebuilding of the forests that have been severely destr

61、oyed. It can offer a lot of benefits when the recreation is successful.56This includes collecting seedlings(幼苗) that are native in the area to make sure that there is a natural reconstruction of the area. Some additional trees which are not native in the area also need to be planted.57The importance

62、 of having multiple species of trees is considered to make sure that the needs of other species that will live and grow in the area are met.Destroying a forest is easy but rebuilding it is really hard.58The plan must include accurate spacing on plants and trees. This is to ensure that they wont cove

63、r each other while they grow.59The forest greatly helps in the reduction of the air pollution. Trees are responsible for the production of oxygen and absorption of carbon dioxide.60It is there for a reason just like everyone else on this planet.There cannot be a better way to restore the balance of

64、nature than to increase the forest area. We must remember that the forest is a natural habitat of wide variety of animals and plants.
