mentioned in the book． Plus， the bench from the film adaption of this novel has even become its own tourist
spot．
"The Elegance of the Hedgehog" is excellent reading for a trip to Paris．

different people who discover they are kindred souls．
Bring "One Hundred Years of Solitude" to read in South America．

beautiful summers in Northern Italy， complete with seaside encounters and lush greenery．
If you're visiting New York City， enter the mind of Holden Caulfield．

2．（10 分）Australia's Prime Minister Scott Morrison has expressed regret over his handling of the bushfire crisis
damaging the country． The PM has faced mounting criticism over his government's response to the bushfires
and its climate policy．
Since September， bushfires have killed at least 28 people and destroyed thousands of homes． Mr
Morrison's government has been accused of not doing enough to address climate change， which experts say
could increase the intensity， frequency and scale of bushfires．
But in the interview， the PM defended his government's approach， which he said took into account the
effect of climate change on the bushfires．
Each year there is a fire season during the Australian summer， with hot， dry weather making it easy for
blazes （火焰） to start and spread． Natural causes are to blame most of the time， like lightning strikes in
drought﹣affected forests． Humans can also be to blame． NSW police have charged at least 24 people with
deliberately starting bushfires， and have taken legal action against 183 people for fire﹣related offenses since
November， according to a police statement．
Bushfire conditions eased on Saturday， giving firefighters a temporary short break in areas where blazes
are still raging． But authorities have warned that the huge fires， spurred by high temperatures， wind and a
three﹣year drought， will persist until there is substantial rainfall．
About half a billion animals have been affected by the fires across NSW， with millions likely dead． The
figures for NSW include birds， reptiles， and mammals， except bats． It also excludes insects and frogs， 第 3 页（共 11 页）
so the real sum is almost certain to be higher， the ecologists said． Almost a third of koalas in NSW may have
been killed in the fires， and a third of their habitat has been destroyed， said Federal Environment Minister
Sussan Ley．

A． A sci﹣fi book．
B． A news website．

3．（10 分）Ancient Greek used zodiac signs （星座） to judge a person's character traits． Today people are still
fascinated with trying to figure out people's personality type based on science．
According to The Washington Post， a new study published in the journal Nature Human Behavior on
September 17， could tell us something more about the four personality types： reserved （内向的）， role
models， average and self﹣centered．
In this study， participants were asked to rate a number of written statements related to the five main 第 4 页（共 11 页）
personality traits： extroversion（外向性）， agreeableness， conscientiousness （责任性）， emotional
stability and openness．
Researchers found self﹣centered people scored higher on extroversion， but lower than average on the
other four traits． "These are people you don't want to hang out with，" coauthor William Revelle， told the
Daily Mail．
Members of the reserved group were lacking in openness and extroversion， but were more agreeable and
conscientious ． These people are usually unwilling to try new things ， but are kind and cooperative ，
according to the study．
People defined as role models scored well in most traits， but were weak in emotional stability． "These
are people who are dependable and open to new ideas，" said Luis Amaral， co﹣director of the Northwestern
Institute on Complex Systems in the US．
Besides these three personality types， a totally new type was found： average， which gets average scores
in all traits． Females are more likely than males to fall into this type．
The study also shows that there is connection between personality type， gender and age． For example，
role models are usually seniors， while the traits of the self﹣centered type mainly fall in teenage males．
However， "certain facts are changing，" Amaral told USA Today． "As people mature and grow， their
personality also matures and grows．"
（1）Which type of people are you probably unwilling to pass the time with according to William Revelle？
A． Self﹣centered．
B． Role models．
C． Reserved．
D． Average．
（2）Which words can best describe reserved people？
A． Extroverted and agreeable．
B． Open﹣minded and considerate．
C． Reliable and pleasant．
D． Cooperative and aggressive．
（3）What can be concluded from the last two paragraphs？
A． Most young people are self﹣centered．第 5 页（共 11 页）
B． Role models are often middle﹣aged people．
C． Personality type has little to do with gender or age．
D． People's personality tends to become better as they age．
（4）Which of the following is the best title？
A． Personality Types Based on Science
B． Personality Types and Age
C． Zodiac Signs and Personalities
D． Extroverted or Introverted Personality
4．（10 分）Nowadays， more and more employers and employees work online either full﹣time or part﹣time，
and that number is continuing growing． It's believed that flying around the world for face﹣to﹣face company
meetings is a waste of time and money． An effective choice to get rid of it is to use Web meetings．
A large of group presentations， training classes and meetings are done online without losing the face﹣to
﹣face experience． Web meetings are online meetings where an organizer invites attendees to listen to or
watch an online presentation by presenters． Besides， Web meetings can be recorded for later us．
Presenters can take real﹣time surveys to study how to hold a successful meeting． Some Web meeting
software programs can monitor the users' desktop behavior to see if they become distracted from the
presentation and begin working on other documents． If so the program can tell presenters when the listeners
lose their attention， and how long the distraction lasts． In this way， the presenters will know which parts of
their meetings need improving．
Web meetings can work well because they're hosted on a server（服务器）． Images from the presenter's
desktop are taken， uploaded to a server and then downloaded by people who have access to the server． Web
meetings require a powerful server to deal with several images a second and "serve" them back to thousands of
users at the same time．
Companies have two choices when it comes to these servers． They can either buy a special Web meeting
server to host their meetings on﹣site， or they can pay for a Web meeting service every time and let the off﹣
site provider worry about hosting the meetings． The choice depends on how frequently the company holds
Web meetings， the average number of people attending the meetings， and the quality of engineering and
information technology．
Web meetings are an excellent example of how technology is changing the way we do business． With all
the technologies today， the traditional office might soon be a thing of the past．第 6 页（共 11 页）
（1）In what way do some Web meeting software programs help improve the meetings？
A． By tracking the users' state．
B． By giving useful suggestions．
C． By sharing detailed technical data．
D． By providing other presenters' videos．
（2）It's better for a company to buy a Web meeting server if it ．
A． relies little on the quality of IT
B． holds Web meetings twice a week
C． doesn't have so many employees
D． has branches in the same city or province
（3）What can we infer about Web meetings？
A． Web meetings help presenters stay focused．
B． Web meetings work without the help of a server．
C． Web meetings determine the quality of engineering．
D． Web meetings are likely to be widely used．
（4）The purpose of this passage is ．
A． to advertise servers used in Web meetings
B． to presuade companies to hold web meetings
C． to introduce the benefits of using Web meetings
D． to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of Web meetings

It was Susan's 12th birthday． She had been expecting to receive a yo﹣yo （悠悠球） from her parents
as her birthday gift for several months． However， she received a purple dress instead， which made her
really disappointed．
"I only want a yo﹣yo as my birthday present． I don't want the dress and I hate purple．" Susan shouted 第 10 页（共 11 页）
at her mother when she saw the dress． "Even a five﹣year﹣old child has a yo﹣yo． Do you know why others
don't want to be my friends？ It is all because I don't have a yo﹣yo． It is so boring to live in this house，"
Susan said angrily．
Her mother ignored her complaints and changed the topic， saying， "Uncle Brown， Uncle Smith， Aunt
Aniston and their children are coming for dinner tonight． So， you can play with your cousins．" "But， I
don't think there is anything interesting to play in the house．" Susan complained again．
The guests arrived at 6：00 pm． Susan guided the four children who came with the adults to her room．
"Do you have any interesting toys？ Susan…" asked Jim， one of the children． Susan felt that Jim was asking
for a yo﹣yo． She felt embarrassed and brought out her Snakes and Ladders （蛇梯棋）． All the children
played the game together． Everyone enjoyed playing the game except Susan． After a little while， her cousin
Sara asked， "Susan， can we go downstairs to the basement？" Susan said， "No， there is nothing
interesting to play in it． Ignoring Susan's words， the children raced to the basement excitedly． They found
there were some empty cartons， ropes， old broken toys…" Upon seeing this， Sara came up with an idea﹣
