A
How to be a safe and smart searcher
SEVERAL KEYWORDS WILL HELP TO FIND BETTER RESULTS
Use more than one keyword when you are doing a search. If you want to find out
about seagulls, for example, search for bird seagull and not just “ seagull” — because seagull might also be the name of just about anything else, from a hotel to a documentary film.
AVOID COMMON WORDS
Don’t use words like ‘a’ or 4the’ in a search. These aren’t always helpful and are usually unnecessary.
REMOVE UNWANTED RESULTS
Adding a minus symbol (-), for example, seagull-hotel-film, would leave out all references to hotels and films.
CHECK YOUR SPELLING
Make sure that you spell every word in the search box correctly. The smallest typing mistakes can bring unwanted results — especially when the mistyped word exists.
HAVE A FILTER
It’s a good idea to filler (过滤) your online searches, especially when you are searching for pictures. Ask an adult to help you add a filtering system. There are lots of filtering software options available.
EXPERIMENT WITH DIFFERENT SEARCH ENGINES
Keep trying until you find the one that’s best for you. Some search engines personalize the results, so check out the choice of using a search engine that doesn’t do this and you will get different results.
RELIABILITY IS VERY IMPORTANT WITEN YOU ARE SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET.
Always ask yourself, “Is this reliable? Don’t make the mistake of believing everything you see. Some websites are unreliable and some information is false. Check your information on other websites before accepting it.
21. Which of the following things should you do as a smart searcher?
a. Ignore small spelling mistakes. b. Choose your search engine carefully,
c. Avoid terms like “a” or “the” in a search. d. Use only one keyword in a single search.
e. Compare information from different sites.
A. abc B. ace C. bcd D. bce
22. According to the article, the minus symbol (-) .
A. bring unwanted results
B. can make search results more accurate
C. is likely to give you a long list of results
D. is usually considered unnecessary in a search
23. According to the article, a filtering system .
A. is especially important for picture searches
B. is useful to find something you’ve already seen
C. is used to identify false information on a website
D. personalizes your results when you are doing a search
B
Animals do amazing things. Birds travel long distances. Whales communicate across vast oceans. Honeybees remember familiar flowers. Crows can turn sticks into tools. Elephants can imitate sounds. Monkeys do simple math. Can animals also warn us if a natural disaster is about to strike?
A few days before the Asian tsunami which happened several years ago, a person watched thousands of ants rush away from the beach into the forest. According to other accounts, elephants screamed and ran to higher ground as many as 10 days before the disaster struck. Dogs refused to go outside.
Despite decades of research, scientists don’t know how to predict earthquakes and tsunamis. Maybe animals can do better. Some people say that animals have a special kind of power for sensing the future. They call it a “sixth sense”, above and beyond the five senses we normally talk about— taste, smell, touch, sight, and hearing. “The scientific evidence for an animal’s sixth sense, however, is slim,” says John Caprio, a neurobiologist at Louisiana State University. “If reports about animals escaping from danger are actually true,” Caprio says, “the animals must be responding to real senses, rather than using some mysterious type of sense.”
“When it comes to sensing earthquakes and tsunamis, feeling the shakes they
create in the earth is probably the key,” says Joel Greenspan, a colleague of John, “Animals are always in direct contact with the ground,” Greenspan says. “We don’t do that any more. We have shoes and clothes. We pay attention to other people, sights, and sounds.” That way, if an animal is standing or lying around, it can sense the footsteps of its enemy coming its way. Perhaps the animals in Asia mistook the earthquake and the tsunami for a monster coming to eat them. In response, they ran in the opposite direction and ended up saving themselves.
Even though scientists are far from knowing everything about why animals behave the way they do, most scientists are sure there must be reasonable explanations.
24. What did animals do before the Asian tsunami?
A. They refused to move long distances.
B. They didn’t communicate with each other.
C. The elephants ran to higher ground in advance.
D. They all rushed away from the beach into the forest.
25. Why can’t we humans feel as animals do, according to Joel Greenspan?
A. We don’t lie down until night.
B. We don’t have the sixth sense.
C. We aren’t in direct contact with the ground.
D. We don’t believe the existence of monsters.
26. According to Joel Greenspan, how did elephants sense the coming of the tsunami?
A. They saw the tsunami first.
B. They could feel the shaking in the earth.
C. They were using a mysterious type of sense.
D. They have the sixth sense that humans don’t have.
27. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Animals, Sense of Danger B. The Amazing Animal World
C. The Great Effect of Tsunamis D. The Discovery of Sixth Sense
C
A hurricane approaches when wind goes in the counter-clockwise (逆时针) direction at sea level accompanied by a non-stop thunderstorm. But when these winds start blowing
at or more than 74 miles per hour, then the occurring situation is regarded as a hurricane. When the speed of the wind crosses 110 miles per hour, the hurricane can cause severe damage to life and property.
Several weather data reports are observed and analyzed to track tropical storms. But when storms are building up, satellite images are used to determine its location, strength, and progress over the following five days. Generally, a hurricane warning is announced 48 hours before it makes landfall.
Approximately 3 to 4 days before hurricane landfall, the surface of the sea will see a considerable wave of 3 to 6 feet. The waves will strike the shore about every 9 seconds. The tide gets really rough before 24 hours, owing to the speed of the winds which can reach around about 34 miles per hour.
72 hours before landfall, the atmospheric pressure is stable. The pressure begins to fall, 36 hours before landfall. When the hurricane is 12 hours away, the strong force wind carries along loose debris (残骸) with it. As the hurricane approaches, and is just 6 hours away, the wind speed crosses 90 miles per hour.
72 hours before landfall, the sky is dotted with cumulus clouds (积云). The cirrus clouds are visible in the sky, only 36 hours before landfall. People living in low-lying areas are now asked to leave their places. 18 hours before landfall, it begins to pour. The rains are heavy and continuous till the hurricane stops. The dark clouds which are all set to bring heavy downpours can be seen 12 hours before landfall.
28. According to the passage, an approaching hurricane .
A. leads to extraordinary losses if the wind blows at 74 miles per hour
B. Should be observed and announced five days before it makes landfall
C. Can be confirmed by just analyzing weather data reports of tropical storms
D. Starts if the sea wind keeps blowing in a certain direction with a thunderstorm
29. The third paragraph is mainly about the hurricane warning signs of the .
A. sea B. wind C. cloud D. rain
30. What can be observed 72 hours before landfall?
A. The rain starts to pour. B. The tide becomes really
tough.
C. Cumulus clouds appear in the sky. D. The wind blows at 34 miles per hour.
31. We can infer that people in low-lying areas should move from their place when .
A. the atmospheric pressure begins to fall B. waves strike the shore every 9 seconds
C. the dark clouds bring heavy downpours D. loose debris flies out with strong winds
D
A novel is a story transmitted from the novelist to the reader. It offers distraction and entertainment. But it can also be something more powerful—a way to learn about how to live. Just read at the right moment in your life, and a novel can change it.
The Novel Cure is a reminder of that power. It is regarded as a grand display of literary fiction and a celebration of the possibilities of the novel. To create this apothecary (药房), the authors have searched through two thousand years of literature for novels that effectively promote happiness, health, and sanity (神志清醒), written by brilliant minds who knew what it meant to be human and wrote their life lessons into their fiction.
The authors, Ella Berthoud and Susan Elderkin began giving novels to each other whenever one of them seemed in need of a push. In 2008 they set up a bibliotherapy service through a cultural enterprise, and since then have been prescribing books to customers all over the world.
Bibliotherapy does not discriminate between pains of the body and pains of the head (or heart). Aware that you are not brave enough? Pick up to Kill a Mockingbird for an injection of courage. Experiencing a sudden fear of death? Read One Thousand Years of Solitude for some understanding on the larger cycle of life. Whatever your condition is, the treatment is simple: a novel (or two), to be read regularly. Some treatments will lead to a complete cure. Others will offer comfort, showing that you
are not the first to experience these emotions. The Novel Cure is also filled with useful lists recommending the best novels to read when you are stuck in traffic or can’t fall asleep, the most important novels to read throughout your life.
Brilliant in concepts, The Novel Cure belongs on everyone’s bookshelf and in every medicine cabinet. It will make even the most well-read fiction lover pick up a novel he’s never heard of, and see familiar ones with new eyes. Mostly, it will reaffirm literature’s ability to distract and transport, to resonate (共鸣) and reassure, to change the way we see the world and our place in it.
32. What does the “power” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The power of the novelist to transmit a story to the reader.
B. The power of the novel to distract and entertain the reader.
C. The power of the novel to create so many treatment for the reader.
D. The power of the novel to tell us how to live and change our lives.
33. According to the passage, what do you think is “Bibliotherapy”？
A. A treatment that helps you to find the meaning of life.
B. A method that makes you to resonate with the characters in the novel.
C. A treatment that requires you to stay in the bookshop and to read many books.
D. A method to address your physical or psychological problems by reading certain books.
34. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE about The Novel Cure?
A. It is hard for a bookworm to find the book appealing.
B. Its authors must have scanned numerous literature works.
C. All of the novels prescribed in it can offer you a complete cure
D. It divides our pains into pains of the body and pains of the head.
35. You can find the article on all of the following websites EXCEPT
A. http://www.goodreads.com B. http:// www.bookshelf.com
C. http:// www.booking.com D. http:// www.bibliotherapy.com

Although we have computers for storing most of our valuable data these days, they cannot be used to store and manage every possible piece of information. 36 Here are some basic measures which can assist in improving the memory.
Improve Your Concentration
If you are unable to remember facts that have been already explained to you over a period of time, lack of focused attention could be the key culprit (罪魁祸首). 37 If you are unable to concentrate for that long, do away with all distractions so that you can concentrate better.
Decide on Your Learning Style and Stick to It
For rapid memory improvement, you need to decide by trial and error which is your preferred learning style and then simply stick to it. Some people retain (保留) information longer by watching a video or reading. 38 Monitor your performance with both and then select the best method.
Relate New Data to Old
It is very important for you to be able to relate fresh data with things that you already know and successfully remember both these types of data.
39 Here, one fact automatically attracts the other and you end up memorising it all in one go. Therefore the next time you are trying to memorise something, just attach it to something that you are already familiar with. 40
A. It is necessary to improve the memory.
B. This would make it very easy to memorise.
C. The memory cells are quite like the muscles of the body.
D. Others may find the method of listening to recordings or lectures in class to be more effective.
E. It is very important to be organised when you are planning to memorise something.
F. An easier way to memorise things is by forming a chain-like sequence in your memory.
G. The memory requires about eight seconds of intense focus to be able to process a piece of information.

Though people have discussed the relationship between science and nature for many years, there is no consistent explanation. 41 some view science as a powerful tool in 42 nature’s source of power, others view it as a danger. One example is Barry Commoner’s article, Unraveling (解开) the DNA Myth, which explains the recent developments in DNA and expresses 43 . Another is Nathaniel Hawthorne’s short story, The Birthmark. It is a tale about a famous scientist, Aylmer, who seems to be unraveling nature’s deepest secrets one by one. Despite all of his 44 and vast understanding of science, Aylmer is unable to direct that knowledge into 45 free from nature’s grasp. He 46 to rid his wife of her birthmark and in the end, killed her.

Commoner believes that people only seem to 55 the achievements, while avoiding and ignoring all of the laws. By stressing all of the 56 and shortcomings of science, he conveys the opinion that nature’s secret are well kept and far from being understood and 57 by man.
Commoner’s 58 gives evidence to support the suggested dangers 59 with science’s attempts to discover nature’s power. If the result is not 60
dangerous, it can still have harmful side effects.

Dear Smith,
I’m Li Hua, a student from Grade 3 of a senior high school nearby. Having finished the college entrance examination, I’m quite interested in your advertisement looking for a Chinese tutor for your son. I’d like to learn something more about it.
As a student, the timetable is of the greatest concern to me. If only it were scheduled at weekends! Besides, I wonder whether you have special requirements for the tutor, like gender, age, education or the degree of fluency in Chinese. Additionally, it could be better if you send me some information about the pay.
I would appreciate it if it is convenient for you to provide me with the above information.
Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
