If only we could answer that question as quickly as the magic mirror in Snow White, since there is 1 a fixed definition of beauty. But People has been trying to 2 that tough question since 1990. And this years top choice was 49-yea

7、r-old US actress Julia Roberts. This was her 3 time to win the title. While Roberts is perhaps not the perfect choice in everyones mind. People has its own 4 , and its not just about her looks. The beauty of Roberts also 5 in her confidence and smarts and good humor. The choice for 2014 was Nyongo.

8、She 6 feel very “unbeautiful”. She even prayed to God that she could wake up one day 7 lighter skin something that, as an African girl, she would never have. But that was 8 2014 when Nyongo impressed the world with her Oscar-winning performance in the movie 12 Years a Slave. “I think happiness is wh

9、at makes you 9 .” Barrymore told People. “If somebody walks into the room and theyre gorgeous (美艳的) and sexy, its really fun to look at. But if someone makes you laugh and feel good, thats a whole other level of beauty.” Perhaps this is what Australian writer Markus Zusak meant 10 he wrote in one of

Just in what they are.”1Anever Busually Coften2Aaccept Banswer Ccatch3Anineth Bfive Cfifth4Aconversations Bquestions Creasons5Aforms Blies Cfocuses6Aused to Bhad to Cwould like7Awith Bin Ctogether8Aup Bat Cuntil9Apretty

15、d an experiment with bees. It shows that bees can learn something new to gain reward(奖励). Then they can teach other bees to do the same. And thats not all they can do. Olli Luokola was one of the scientists who worded on the study. He said that the bees did not just copy what they saw. They actually

16、 improved on what they were learning. “This is of course amazing for small-brained insects,” he said. He added that it is even harder for humans to improve on something they learned by copying others.For the experiment, the bees had to move a yellow ball into the center of a platform(平台). First, the

17、 scientists showed the bees how to do it. When the ball got into the center, the scientists added sugar water to reward the subjects. The bees learned that the rewards came when the ball was put in the right place. They got better and better at moving the balls. Then, they got more of the reward. Af

18、ter a while, they began to move the balls by themselves.The scientists tried something else. They put the trained bees on a platform with bees that were not trained. After watching the trained bees once, the untrained bees learned how to do it too. They didnt just copy the behavior, though. The new

19、bees also improved on the action；They chose balls closer to themselves. All brains-in people and people-have neurons(神经元) let you think. Scientist Reese Halter says bees are “highly intelligent creatures,” even though they have far fewer neutrons than humans. Halter explained that bees talk to each

20、other with their bodies, but not like what we do. They use their bodies instead of words. They butt heads, bump into each other and they even dance. Luokola said scientists used to think that the smaller the brain, the less intelligent the animal! But this study proves(证明)that is not true.1The word

21、“experiment” in the passage is most probably _.Aa medical programBa scientific testCan animal storyDa biology expert2According to paragraph 1, which of the following is TRUE about study?AIt helps humans to get better at something by copying.BIt teaches bees to copy what they saw and do the same.CIt

22、shows bees can learn something new to gain a reward.DIt trains the bees how to move a ball to the right place.3Paragraph 2 mainly talks about_.Awhat kind of balls bees movedBwhy scientists help bees to get a rewardCwhere bees moved the ballsDhow bees are trained to move the balls4From paragraph 3, w

23、e can learn that scientists_.Ahave always believed that bees are highly intelligentBexplain that bees talk to each other in body languagesChave questioned whether the studys results are correctedDexplain that bees are unable to learn from one another5What is the main idea of this passage?ABees are v

24、ery intelligent insects though they have tiny brains.BBees can talk by bumping into one another and even dancing.CBees can copy a behavior they see but hardly improve upon it.DBees are smart enough to get a reward without moving a ball.B14、Saying “thank you” is probably the first thing most of us le

25、arn to do in a foreign language. After all, were brought up to be kind and polite.So, what exactly are you supposed to say when “thank you” is only the 20thmost popular way to express gratitude (感激)? According to a recent report, 19 other ways of expressing gratitude finished ahead of “thank you” in

26、 a poll (投票) of 3,000 people.Pollsters found almost half those asked preferred the more informal (非正式的) “cheers”, while others liked to use such expressions as “ta”, “great” and “nice one”.So, just what is the right form of words to express your thanks?Luckily, the answer is in the language itself.

27、“Cheers” is considered an informal way to say thank you. For example, when going for a drink with friends, a smile and a “cheers” by way of thanks is not only acceptable to the situation, it is also culturallyaccurate.“Ta” was the second-most popular expression of thanks, and is also commonly used i

28、n informal situations, along with phrases such as “nice one”, and “wonderful”. Interestingly, one word that didnt make it into the top 20 was “thanks”. But “thanks” can be useful, as it is able to bridge the divide between “thank you” and the downright relaxed “cheers”.Certain words can double as an

29、 expression of thanks as well as delight. For example, words like “awesome”, “brilliant” and “you star” can tell both your pleasure at someones action, as well as serving to express your thanks. If you are on the receiving end of a “new” thank you, you can reply with a simple “no problem”, or “sure”

30、.Of course, a simple wave, nod or smile may be all right. For example, if a car driver slows down to let you cross the road, simply raising your hand is enough to show that you are thankful for the drivers consideration.Sometimes, formality is necessary, and “thank you” is still the best choice in s

31、uch situations. But students should not worry about when exactly to use certain expressions.Many people in western countries are worried that good manners are in decline (衰退). People are tired of seeing their acts of kindness and service pass without any feedback. So dont think that your “thank you”

32、 was useless or too formal. The chances are, if you said “thank you”, you made someones day.1（小题1）We can tell from the result of the poll that _.Apeople are worrying about politeness nowadaysBthere are many kinds of expressions of gratitudeC“thank you” is the most popular expression of gratitudeDthe

33、re are more formal expressions of gratitude than informal ones2（小题2）What does the underlined word “accurate”in Paragraph 5 mean?AClear and exact.BSimple but strange.CShort and informal.DInformal but popular.3（小题3）Which of the following can express gratitude as well as pleasure?ASure. BNo problem. CT

34、a. DYou star.4（小题4）In the last paragraph the writer encourages people to _.Ahelp others behave wellBshow their gratitude to othersCcontinue their language learningDstop worrying about social activitiesC15、You either have it, or you donta sense of direction. But why is it that some people could find

35、their way across the Sahara without a map while others can lose themselves in the next street?Scientists say were all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly understood how it works. One theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it. R

36、esearch being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we dont use it, we lose it.“Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around,” says Jim Martland, research director of the project. “However, if they are not allowed out alone or are taken e

37、verywhere by car, they never develop the skills.”Jim Martland alsoemphasizesthat young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction. He makes the following suggestions:If you are using a map, turn it so that it relates to(与有联系) the way you are facing.If you leave your b

38、ike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stone or a treesomething easy to recognize. Note landmarks on the route as you go away from your bike. When you return, go back along the same route.Simplify(简化) the way for finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town, stre

39、ams, or wells in the countryside to guide you. Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks such as towerblocks or hills which can help to find out where you are.Now you will never get lost again!1Children have the ability to find the way around when they are years
