One day, two silver saucers were stolen from the cupboard. After a few days, another two saucers were stolen again. The rich man was ver

12、y angry. He thought, “Someone must have stolen them. I must catch the thief, or another two saucers would be stolen in a few days.”Then he had an idea. He called in all his servants and said. “Some of my silver saucers have disappeared. Someone among you must have taken them. Who has taken them?”The

13、 servants looked at one another and kept quiet. Then the rich man said, “I shall catch the thief myself. I am giving each of you a stick. Look, all the sticks are of the same length, Keep the sticks. Bring them back tomorrow. The thiefs stick will two centimeters longer.”That evening, Salleh, one of

14、 the servants, went home sadly. His wife asked him, “Why are you so sad this evening?”“This stick will grow two centimeters longer tomorrow because I have taken the silver saucers,” he said.“Oh, dont worry. Cut off two centimeters from the stick,” his wife said. “In other words your stick will be of

15、 the same length as any of the other sticks.”Hearing this, he was very happy. At once, he cut off two centimeters from the stick with a knife.The next day, each of the servants brought back his stick. The rich man then measured each of the sticks. He found Sallehs stick shorter by two centimeters. S

Despite growing international concern, rainforests continue to be destroyed at a pace over 80,000 acres per day. World rainforest cover now stands at around 2.5million square miles. Human activities

19、have had an effect on much of this remaining area.Deforestation(森林濫伐) of tropical rainforests has a global effect through species extinction, the loss of important ecosystem services and renewable resources, and the reduction of carbon sinks. However, this destruction can be slowed, stopped, and in

20、some cases even reversed(逆轉(zhuǎn)). Most people agree that the problem must be solved, but the means are not as simple as building fences around the remaining rainforests or banning the wood trade. Economic, political, and social pressures will not allow rainforests to continue to exist if they are comple

21、tely closed off from use and development.So, what should be done? The solution must be based on what is practical, not completely idealistic and depends on developing a conservation approach built on the principle of sustainable(可持續(xù)的) use and development of rainforests. Beyond the responsible develo

22、pment of rainforests, efforts to restore damaged forest lands along with the establishment of protected areas are key to securing rainforests for the long-term benefits they can provide for mankind.Historic approaches to rainforest conservation have failed, as shown by the increased rate of deforest

23、ation. In many regions, closing off forests as untouchable parks and reserves has neither improved the quality of living or economic opportunities for the rural poor, nor stopped forest clearing by illegal woodcutters and developers.The problem with this traditional approach to preserving wildlands

24、in developing countries is that it fails to develop proper economic motives for preserving the forest. Local people and the government itself must see financial returns to prove the costs of maintaining parks from economic activities.1、What has caused some species extinction in the tropical rainfore

25、sts?AHumans destroying the trees.BCarbon sinks being reduced.CLacking renewable resources.DFences not being built around the rainforests.2、What can be inferred from the passage?ATropical rainforests can be easily preserved.BRainforests must be closed off to be better protected.CHuman activities have

26、 had an effect on tropical rainforests.DEconomic returns can make some difference in protecting tropical rainforests.3、What is the authors attitude to tropical rainforest protection?AIndifferent.BConcerned.CDoubtful.DPuzzled.4、What is the purpose of the passage?ATo show the bad effects of deforestat

27、ion.BTo stress the importance of the rainforests.CTo appeal for right ways to save the rainforests.DTo introduce the fact of forests disappearing.23（8分） What exactly is intelligence? There arent any easy answers. Despite the progress that has been made in genetics and psychology, human intelligence

28、has remained one of the most controversial areas of modern science，until now, that is, for the discovery of a gene(基因) linked to intelligence has made the experts think again.Robert Plomin of the Institute of Psychiatry in London and his colleagues in the US have been looking into genetic make-up. F

29、rom their research, they have discovered that a slightly different gene is more common in those with a high IQ. Plomin analyzed DNA from two groups of 51 children aged between 6 and 15. What he found was that the first group had an IQ of 136, putting them in the top 5% of the population, while the o

30、ther group had an average IQ of 103. An analysis of their genes showed that 32% of children in the higher group had the gene in question, while only 16% in the second group did. However, there is a lot more research to be done, and Plomin himself is cautious at this early stage. He suggests that the

31、re are probably many genes that contribute to intelligence, rather than just one.Several studies have shown a strong link between IQ and career success, although some psychologists remain unconvinced about this. Professor Michael Rowe, who has written a book called Genius Explained, is one of these.

32、 “The people with the highest IQs are not usually the ones who do best in their careers.”Many psychologists now believe that when it comes to intelligence, IQ isnt everything. Many alternative views have been put forward recently. One example is the idea of multiple intelligences, which was develope

33、d in the 1980s by Harvard psychologist Howard Gardner. This offers a much broader view than the IQ theory, including creativity and communication skills as relevant factors(因素) in intelligence.Tony Buzan, brain expert and author of Master your Memory, is enthusiastic about this belief, arguing that

34、true geniuses(天才) do indeed appear to combine high levels of each type of intelligence. He lists Alexander the Great, Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein as examples. At the same time, Buzan believes that everyone can develop their intelligence, only if they take the trouble to exercise their brain. P

38、you love yourself. Sometimes youll hear people say that you cant expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either way, youve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that were the apple of our parents eyes, and that our Grandmas think were geniuses and our U

39、ncle Roberts think that we will go to the Olympics, but sometimes its a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time you built a positive self-image and learnt to love yourself.Self-image is your own minds picture of yourse

40、lf. This image includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about us. Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be. Thus changing the way you think

41、 about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world.The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. That is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. Dont allow doubts to occur in it.

42、It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you cant move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task. If you think youre silly because you arent good at math, find a tutor. If you th

43、ink youre weak because you cant run a mile, get to the track and practice. If you think youre dull because you dont wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes. But remember, just because you think it doesnt mean its true.The best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that your ima

44、ge is far from objective, and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. Changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image. When you can pat yourself on the back, youll know youre well on your way. Good luck！

45、1、You need to build a positive self-image when you _.Adare to challenge yourself Bare unconfident about yourselfCfeel it hard to change yourself Dhave a high opinion of yourself2、According to the passage, our self-images _.Ahave positive effects Bhave different functionsCare often changeable Dare pr

46、obably untrue3、How should you change your self-image according to the passage?ATo change the way you think. BTo make your life successful.CTo understand your own world. DTo keep a different image of others.4、What is the passage mainly about?AHow to prepare for your success.BHow to build a positive s

47、elf-image.CHow to face challenges in your life.DHow to develop your good qualities.25（10分）If youre ever reading a book or watching a movie and get the clear feeling that youve come across the story beforeor even better, can predict exactly whats going to happen nextthere could be a good reason for t

48、hat.Researchers from the Computational Story Laboratory at the University of Vermont studied the complete text of some 1,737 fiction works available on Project Gutenberg, an online collection of more than 50,000 digital books in the public area. They discovered that English literature consist of jus

49、t six kinds of emotional arcs(情感弧線) that make up nearly all of the most wellknown stories. By analyzing the sentiment(情感)of language used in these texts, the researchers were able to show the emotional ups and downs for the stories as a whole. They discovered that negative words like “poverty”， “dea

50、d”， and “punishment” dragged the emotion down, while positive terms like “l(fā)ove”， “peace”， and “friend” brought it up.According to the researchers, those six core emotional arcs are： “Rags to riches” (An ongoing emotional rise) “Tragedy, or riches to rags” (An ongoing emotional fall) “Man in a hole”

51、(A fall followed by a rise) “Icarus” (A rise followed by a fall) “Cinderella” (Risefallrise) “Oedipus” (Fallrisefall)Interestingly, based on download statistics from Project Gutenberg, the researchers say the most popular stories are ones that use more complex emotional arcs, with the Cinderella and

52、 Oedipus arcs registering the most downloads. Also popular are works that combine these core arcs together in new ways within one story, such as two “Man in a hole” arcs stuck together, or the “Cinderella” arc coupled with a tragic ending.1、Readers often feel familiar when reading a new story becaus

53、e stories have similar _.Abeginnings BendingsCcharacters Demotional arcs2、How did researchers carry out their study?ABy conducting surveys among readers.BBy reading books borrowed from libraries.CBy analyzing works from an online collection.DBy interviewing authors of the wellknown stories.3、Which s

As I was helping my daughter to go higher and higher, I noticed another little girl trying 4 to get her own swing going.I gave my daughter one big 5 and then walked 6 to her asking if she needed any help. She said “

57、yes!” I soon had her feet 7 towards the clouds while she laughed happily. 8 we returned home, I was 9 worn out, but my 10 were still flying higher than those swings.Two years later, I went to 11 my kids as usual after a long-day hard work from the local grade school. I stood wearily watching for my

58、children 12 suddenly I felt two tiny arms 13 around my stomach. I looked down and there was the little girl from the playground 14 towards me. She gave me one more big hug before heading off to 15 her school bus. As I watched her back, I didnt feel quite so tired 16 and my spirits were once again so

59、aring in the heaven.In this life every single bit of love we 17 finds its way back to us again. It may travel from heart to heart or it may blossom in the soul 18 it was planted. It may take seconds or it may take years. The law of love is never broken 19 What we sow, we harvest. The love we share,
