Europe’ s most beautiful places
Europe is an amazingly varied place. The old continent's historic cities and its Mediterranean
beaches draw many of its visitors, but the best destinations are sometimes its more remote corners,
known mainly to locals and a few brave travelers.
Lake Inari, Finland
High above the Arctic Circle and close to Finland's border with Russia, Lake Inari is a year round
paradise. Dark, snowy winters make it ideal for catching a glimpse of the aurora borealis.
Its tree-lined banks glow a burnt orange during autumn and in summer, you can swim in its chilly
shallows. The center of local Sami culture, it's as remote and traditional as Finland gets.
Unst, Shetland Isles, Scotland
The most northerly occupied island of the British Iles, Unst is a wild, rugged place where seas
crash into the dramatic Muckle Flugga sea stacks.
The later are a harbor for gannets (塘鵒) during breeding season, with birdwatchers also treated to
the sight of searching skuas (贼鸥).
Yorkshire Dales, England
Its narrow lanes lined with drystone walls cry out to cyclists seeking marvelous adventures while
its moody hill continually attract walkers, no matter the weather.
Geological wonders such as the limestone spectacles of Malham Cove and Gordale Scar make it
perhaps the most beautiful part of the British Isles.
Loire Valley, France
Chateau de Chambord and Chateau de Chenonceau are the most famous, filled with classic
viewing towers, formal gardens and boating lakes.

glamour is impossible to ignore.

The term “crocodile tears" refers to insincere sadness. This term has an etymology dating
back several centuries. As early as the fourth century, crocodile tears are referenced in the
literature with the meaning of insincere sorrow. It is said that crocodiles weep while eating their
hunted animals because they are sad; however, this sadness is not honest.
The term crocodile tears became widely popular after it was documented in a fifteenth-
century book titled The Voyage and Travel of Sir John Mandeville, Knight. A passage from the
book reads: "These crocodiles kill men and they eat them weeping."
As you may already know, crocodilians (鳄目动物)likely feel bad about little—especially
feeding. However, the assumption of the crocodile-tears metaphor may be true. In a 2007 paper
published in BioScience titled “Crocodile Tears: And they eaten them wepynge ”(“Crocodile Tears:
And they eat them weeping”), researchers observed 7 crocodilians in cages during feeding time at
a reserve (4 caimans and 3 American alligators). The researchers observed the animals outside of
water at feeding stations to better find out whether tearing developed.
Five of the 7 crocodilians developed something like tears in their eyes before, during or after
feeding. The researchers suggest that these crocodile tears occur because a crocodilian hisses （发
出嘶嘶声）while it eats, and this hissing forces air through the spaces in the bone behind the nose
and out the eye, in the process picking up nasolacrimal secretions （鼻泪管分泌物.）
In humans, crocodile tears is a medical condition that causes a person to tear up while eating.
Crocodile tears typically occur because of a temporary loss of facial control due to damage of the
facial nerve. Specifically, when the facial nerve grows again, it does so incorrectly thus resulting
in tears during chewing food.
58. The underlined word “etymology” in Paragraph 1 refers to .
A. a reference book containing articles on various topics
B. the origin and history of a particular term
C. a printed sheet of paper that are given free to advertise
D. the application and influence of a new theory
59. The term "crocodile tears" .
A. is a medical condition that causes a crocodile to tear up
B. became widely popular as early as the fourth century
C. refers to pretended sadness
D. proved to be only an assumption
60. From the 2007 paper published in BioScience, we can know that .
A. crocodilians especially feel bad about feeding
B. not all the 7 crocodilians developed tearing
C. the crocodilians were carefully observed inside water6
D. crocodile tears occur because a crocodilian hisses after it eats
61. The passage is mainly about .
A. what the real truth is about crocodile tears
B. when the term "crocodile tears" got popular in literature
C. how researchers made the experiment on crocodilians
D. why crocodile tears typically occur in humans
C
For several decades, there has been an organized campaign intended to produce distrust in
science, funded by those whose interests are threatened by the findings of modern science. In
response, scientists have tended to stress the success of science. After all, scientists have been
right about most things, from the structure of the universe to the relativity of time and space.
Stressing successes isn't wrong, but for many people it’s not persuasive. An alternative
answer to the question “Why trust science?” is that scientists use the so-called scientific method.
But what is called the scientific method isn't what scientists actually do. Science is dynamic: new
methods get invented; old ones get abandoned; and at any particular point, scientists can be found
doing many different things. False theories sometimes lead to true results, so even if an
experiment works, it doesn't prove that the theory it was designed to test is true.
If there is no specific scientific method, then what is the basis for trust in science? The
answer is the methods by which those claims are evaluated. A scientific claim is never accepted as
true until it has gone through a long process of examination by fellow scientists. Scientists draft
the initial version of a paper and then send it to colleagues for suggestions. Until this point,
scientific feedback is typically fairly friendly. But the next step is different: the revised paper is
submitted to a scientific journal, where things get a whole lot tougher. Editors deliberately send
scientific papers to people who are not friends or colleagues of the authors, and the job of the
reviewer is to find errors or other faults. We call this process "peer review'' because the reviewers
are scientific peers—experts in the same field—but they act in the role of a superior who has both
the right and the responsibility to find fault. It is only after the reviewers and the editor are
satisfied that any problems have been fixed that the paper will be printed in the journal and enters
the body of “science."
Some people argue that we should not trust science because scientists are “always changing
their minds." While examples of truly settled science being overturned are far fewer than is
sometimes claimed, they do exist. But the beauty of this scientific process is that science produces
both creativity and stability. New observations, ideas, explanations and attempts to combine
competing claims introduce creativity; transformative questioning leads to collective decisions and
the stability of scientific knowledge. Scientists do change their minds in the face of new evidence,
but this is a strength of science, not a weakness.
62. Scientists stress the success of science in order to .
A. promote basic knowledge of science
B. remind people of scientific achievements
C. remove possible doubts about science
D. show their attitude towards the campaign
63. What can we learn about the so-called scientific method?
A. It's an easy job to prove its existence.7
B. It usually agrees with scientists’ ideas.
C. It hardly gets mixed with false theories.
D. It constantly changes and progresses.
64. What can we learn about "peer" review?
A. It seldom gives negative evaluation of a paper.
B. It is usually conducted by unfriendly experts.
C. It aims to perfect the paper to be published.
D. It happens at the beginning of the evaluation process.
65. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph implies that .
A. it is not uncommon for science to be overturned
B. scientists are very strong in changing their minds
C. people lose faith in those changeable scientists
D. changes bring creativity and stability to science
D
Liu, the farmer, sat at the door of his one-room house. It was a warm evening in late February,
and in his thin body he felt the coming of spring. How he knew that the time had now come when
life began to move in the soil? He could not have told himself. Most of all, in any other year than
this he might have pointed to his wheat fields where he planted wheat in the winter when the land
was not needed for rice and where, when spring was moving into summer, he planted the good
rice for rice was his chief crop. But the land told nothing this year. There was no wheat on it, for
the flood had covered it long after wheat should have been planted, and it lay there cracked and
like clay but newly dried.
Well, on such a day as this, if he had his buffalo (水牛) and his plow (犁) as he had always
had in other years, he would have gone out and plowed up that cracked soil. He ached to plow it
up and make it look like a field again, yes, even though he had not so much as one seed to put in it.
But he had no buffalo. If anyone had told him that he would eat his own water buffalo that plowed
the good land to him; he would have called that man idiot. Yet it was what he had done. He had
eaten his own water buffalo, he and his wife and his parents and his four children, they had all
eaten the buffalo together.
But what else could they do on that dark winter ’s day when the last of their store of grain
was gone, when the trees were cut and sold, when he had sold everything, even the little they had
saved from the flood, and there was nothing left except the shabby house they had and the
garments they wore? Was there sense in removing the coat from one's back to feed one's belly? On
that day when he had seen the faces of his old parents set as though dead, on that day when he had
heard the crying of his children and seen his little daughter dying, such a despair had seized him as
made him like a man without his reason, so that he had gathered all his strength and he had done
what he said he never would; he had taken the kitchen knife and gone out and killed his own beast.
When he did it, even in his despair, he screamed, for it was as though he killed his own brother. To
him it was the last sacrifice.
It would have taken them all except that in the great pools lying
everywhere, which were left from the flood, there were shrimps ( 小 虾 ), and these they had eaten
raw and were still eating, although they were all sick and would not get well. In the last day or so
his wife had crawled out and dug a few weeds. But there was no fuel and so they also were eaten8
raw. But the bitterness was good after the tasteless flesh of the raw shrimps. Yes, spring was
coming.
He sat on heavily, looking out over his land. If he had his buffalo back, if he had his plow that
they had burned for fuel. But now he was comforted by nothing.
And he looked, hopeless, into the barren (贫瘠的) spring.
66. Why didn't Liu know the coming of spring according to Paragraph 1?
A. Because he was too old and weak. B. Because the rice failed to come up.
C. Because the barren field told nothing. D. Because the flood was still in progress.
67. The underlined word "idiot" in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to
A. hero B. fool C. genius D. idol
68. What can be inferred from Paragraphs 2 and 3?
A. The hard work of ploughing the cracked soil ached Liu
B. The crying and dying families added to Liu's economic burden.
C. Liu removed his coat to feed his belly but found it useless.
D. Killing the buffalo for food was the last thing that Liu would do.
69. Which of the following sentences best suits the blank in Paragraph 4?
A. Yet. It was not enough.
B. Well, that was sorrow for a man.
C. That was what the winter's famine had taken from them.'
D. That sacrifice made him realize the only comfort lent was to die on their own land.
70. Which of the following serves as the best title for this passage?
A. Barren Spring B. Desperate Farmers
C. Terrible Flood D. Horrible Famine

How to live with someone in chronic pain?
Do you know that 100 million people in the United States suffer with chronic（慢性的）
pain? Living with someone in chronic pain can be demanding at times because the person doesn't
feel well and wants your help to feel better. Yet you are powerless to do much about stopping their
pain. As a result, much of the relationship can become focused on pain which is depressing for
both of you. But people in pain need emotional support. They need to know that you understand
their feelings. So, express it in your words and show it by your presence.
Now, realize, there is a fine line between helping and hurting when talking with people in
chronic pain. You help by encourage pain free talk, by focusing on the positives of your
relationship and other aspects of the person's life. Instead of asking, “How is your pain today?" ask,
“How is your day going?" Then, focus on what is going right or is positive despite the pain. This
isn't ignoring the reality of their pain, rather focusing away from the pain. Constant conversations
about pain increase pain. The more attention you give pain, the more it multiplies pain.
The more you do things for the person in pain, the more likely they are to become disabled
by their pain. For example, if your partner can move, get up or get their own drink, let them. Even
if it takes a while to accomplish something, movement is good for chronic pain. The goal is not to
do things they can do for themselves. Otherwise, you are enabling sick behavior. Therefore,9
encourage, but don't enable! You don’t want anyone's identity to be developed around the pain.
Remember, chronic pain has caused your partner to limit his behavior and not do the things
he used to do. He is dealing with loss and has to find a new normal. Talk about what can be done
to improve functioning despite the pain. You may have to get creative! Can you throw a ball to the
grandkids sitting down? Maybe you can find a more comfortable position for closeness.
Finally, do all you can to help him remain social even though the pain may lead to a
cancellation with friends now and then. When that happens, you are supposed to keep inviting him
to gatherings as he wants to remain active and involved. The worse thing a person in pain can do
is get separated from others. Not only will they become depressed but it is much easier to lose
hope. And there is so much you can do to improve functioning and get on with your life.
In sum, chronic pain can cause relationship tension, but a focus on small things that turn
down the volume on pain and improve your day to day functioning will help your relationships.
How to live with someone in chronic pain?

Facial recognition technology has increasingly been used in China, from airports, hotels,
hospitals, restaurants and even tourist spots. Guo Bing, a law professor at Zhejiang Sci-Tech
University, has filed a lawsuit against （起诉）a local wildlife park because it requires visitors to
walk through a compulsory facial recognition lane for admission.
China Daily held a forum on this case. Here are the selections of the views.
Johanna (China)
My concern is that my data might get leaked or sold to some company. My cellphone could be
unlocked, my account hacked, and what would I do? Passwords can be changed, but I just can'tchange my face. The government needs to start regulating this face identification. Misuse of
data ought to come with penalties. Companies should face serious consequences if they fail to
follow the rules.
Markwu (Malaysia)
Facial recognition really marks a leap forward in transportation. Truly, technology offers
convenience to our clothing, dining, traveling and housing. It also helps law enforcement
departments preempt ( 抢 先 行 动 )criminals. To fight against terrorists, facial recognition is
necessary, because prevention is better than cure.
