THE MENTALIST, GERRY MCCAMBRIDGEGiven the tradition of students bringing apples to their teachers, it somehow seems fitting that an old apple barn(谷仓) will find a new life as a one-room schoolhouse. And it is just as fitting that a retired schoolteacher will become the caretaker of that historic treasure.My friend Velma, a teacher for more than 30 years, has been retired for some time now, but that doesnt stop her giving history lessons at the old Englewood School, located on her familys California farm. The lovingly restored building was constructed around 1850 as a home for a woodsman and later was used as apple barn. Then, in 1870 it began a new life as a schoolhouse.Originally located in the nearby Englewood meadow, it was now moved its current site in 1978 by Velmas late husband and his brother, Robert and Richard, who thought it would help keep Velma busy in retirement. No nails had been used in the original construction, so each piece of wood had to be carefully marked and the building was reassembled（重装）on its new site. The brothers worked with much care and hard work to ensure a perfect fit of mitered（斜接的）corners.After the relocation, Velma and her family furnished the school with some of its original desks. They also added a collection of schoolbooks, the oldest dating back to 1845. Perhaps the schools most cherished souvenir is the diploma of student Hettie Essig, who graduated on June 30, 1904. Hetties daughter, Flora, presented Velma with the precious keepsake.Nowadays Velma gives tours to local schoolchildren and other groups, who learn what it was like to attend school back in the good old days. She has kids ring the school bell, recite the Pledge of Allegiance and sing “Good Morning to You” as they might have done in days gone by. Then, with twinkling eyes and much enthusiasm, she tells the history of the school, and gives a short sample lesson.4The Englewood School was originally built as _.A. a man s houseB. a schoolhouseC. a restroomD. an apple barn5Which word can best describe the schools being relocated?A. Inspiring.B. Refreshing.C. Fashionable.D. Challenging.6What does the underlined part “the precious keepsake” in Para.4 mean?A. The schools original supplies.B. The collection of schoolbooks.C. The oldest schoolbook.D. The diploma of Hettie Essig.7Which can serve as the best title of the passage?A. The Good Old Days in the SchoolhouseB. A Mysterious Building with a Long HistoryC. A Historic One-room SchoolhouseD. A Teacher Devoted to Restoring Old BuildingsThe sharing economy, represented by companies like Airbnb or Uber, is the latest fashion craze. But many supporters have overlooked the reality that this new business model is largely based on escaping regulations and breaking the law.Airbnb is an Internet-based service that allows people to rent out spare rooms to strangers for short stays. Uber is an Internet taxi service that allows thousands of people to answer ride requests with their own cars. There are hundreds of other such services.The good thing about the sharing economy is that it promotes the use of underused resources. Millions of people have houses or apartments with empty rooms, and Airbnb allows them to profit from these rooms while allowing guests a place to stay at prices that are often far less than those charged by hotels. Uber offers prices that are competitive with standard taxi prices and their drivers are often much quicker and more trustworthy.But the downside of the sharing economy has gotten much less attention. Most cities and states both tax and regulate hotels, and the tourists who stay in hotels are usually an important source of tax income. But many of Airbnbs customers are not paying the taxes required under the law.Airbnb can also raise issues of safety for its customers and trouble for hosts neighbors. Hotels are regularly inspected to ensure that they are not fire traps and that they dont form other risks for visitors. Airbnb hosts face no such inspections.Since Airbnb is allowing people to escape taxes and regulations, the company is simply promoting thefts. Others in the economy will lose by bearing an additional tax burden or being forced to live next to an apartment unit with a never-ending series of noisy visitors.The same story may apply with Uber. Uber is currently in disputes over whether its cars meet the safety and insurance requirements imposed on standard taxis. Also, if Uber and related services flood the market, they could harm all taxi drivers ability to earn a minimum wage.This downside of the sharing needs to be taken seriously, but that doesnt mean the current tax and regulatory structure is perfect.8What is the positive thing about the sharing economy?A. It is a global trend.B. It is beyond regulations.C. It draws on spare resources.D. It brings in modest profits.9What is the problem with Airbnb customers according to the passage?A. They are not regularly inspected.B. They are likely to commit thefts.C. They are allowed not to pay taxes.D. They can be noisy to hosts neighbours.10What is the argument over Uber according to the passage?A. Whether it guarantees customers safety.B. Whether it provides reliable services.C. Whether it lowers customers expenses.D. Whether it can compete with standard taxis.11What will be talked about in the following paragraphs?A. Existing regulations and laws.B. Necessary improvements of current laws.C. Further development of Airbnb and Uber.D. More downsides of Airbnb and Uber.Jeremy Kerr, a researcher at the University of Ottawa in Canada, and his colleagues analyzed more than 400,000 observations of bumblebee species collected in North America and Europe from 1975 to 2010. When the researchers recorded the locations of these bee populations, they found that many of the 67 species analyzed were moving northward from their southern limits while the northern edges of the bees ranges are staying in place. What it results in is obvious.Bees have been paid more attention to in recent years, with populations of honeybees and bumblebees obviously declining in some parts of Europe. Previously, attention on the decline of bee populations has focused on causes including habitat loss, pesticide use and the spread of bee parasites(寄生虫). But the work by Kerrs team found something different.For every species, there is one or two species declining and others that are not moving at all, says Kerr. This shift has also been observed in other species, such as butterflies. But due to a new cause the rise of temperatures instead of total pesticide use, a change in land use or parasites, bumblebees unlike butterflies have failed to extend the northern boundaries of their ranges into the territory that is now habitable for them, so bumblebee species across Europe and North America are declining rapidly, the latest study led by Kerrs team finds. Our data suggest that the new factor plays a leading, or perhaps the leading, role in this trend, says Kerr.This study shows that a fourth factor is also beginning to affect it. It is likely that the combined stresses from all of these pressures will have destructive impacts on bumblebees in the not-too-distant future, says Dave Goulson, a bee researcher at the University of Sussex, Brighton, UK.Exactly what can be done to help bumblebees is not clear. Kerrs team suggests that relocating colonies might be an answer but Goulson says that because the insects are mobile they are capable of moving northwards if there is suitable habitat available.12What does the move of the bees southern limits lead to?A. The birth of new bee species.B. The rise of the bees population.C. The evolution of the bees.D. The reduction of the bees habitat.13Whats the new cause of bee populations declining according to Kerr?A. Habitat loss.B. Pesticide use.C. Climate change.D. The spread of bee parasites.14Which statement may Goulson agree with?A. Relocating bumblebees isnt much good.B. The findings of Kerrs study are doubtful.C. The future of bumblebees is still promising.D. Knowing bumblebees living habits is the most urgent.15What kind of writing is this passage?A. A book review.B. An announcement.C. A scientific report.D. An official report.评卷人得分二、完形填空阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。If life were a book and you were the author, how would you like the story to go?
