Unfortunately, I had absolutely no idea what I wanted my future occupation

16、to be. The only thing I did know was that I did not want to spend the next 45 years teaching, being a nurse or sitting in an office. But that was before the postman delivered a catalogue (目录) of courses that were being offered at the local college. As I looked through it, I was attracted by a page t

17、hat talked about the difficulties faced by deaf people in their everyday lives and how students could help by learning sign language. It went on to say that graduates of the course usually find work in different organizations, such as law companies, the Stock Exchange, insurance companies and banks.

18、 Then I saw something that really caught my eye: “Singer” are also needed for sporting events, concerts, theatrical performances and, believe it or not, circuses! By the time I got to the bottom of the page, I knew I had found the perfect occupation.I enrolled (注册) on the course, which to my parents

19、 great delight was free of charge. The course was brilliant. My favourite part was the final lesson, when our teacher asked us to sign our favourite song. It was really difficult because not only did we have to sign the words, but we also had to find a way of showing whether the song was happy or sa

24、 study A team of scientists from Stanford University, in California, have shown how the brain reorganizes itself as kids learn mathAfter a certain amount of time spent practicing math, kids can put away the calculator（计算器） They dont even need to count on their fingers They simply know the answers to

25、 subtraction(), addition (+), and multiplication () facts The quicker kids can recall basic math facts, the easier it is for them to solve more difficult math problemsThe Stanford University researchers observed（观察）the brain activity of 28 students, ages 7 to 4, for the study They took scans of the

Jerry Brown on Tuesday signed a law for driverless car

35、s to travel on public roadways, showing once again that Left Coast has a way of making car-makers develop faster. It is not that smart minds in Japan and Germany arent already working on driverless cars. But with most new technologies, engineers want to make sure that they are safe enough before lar

36、ge production. The California law will allow them to travel on the states roadways if there is an experienced driver sitting in the driving seat to take over if needed. “Today, were looking at science fiction becoming tomorrows reality,” Gov. Brown said during a news conference at Googles headquarte

37、rs. “This driverless car is another step forward in this long march of California and leading not just the country, but the whole world.”The state often uses stricter laws to control greenhouse gases and global warming, which was strongly against by most car-makers in other states, saying it would b

38、e impractical for each state to make its own fuel standards. However, the U.S. EPA(环境保护署) sided with California . At last all sides reached an agreement, but the push from California undoubtedly influenced the EPAs sharply higher fuel standards, which require car-makers to achieve an average of 54.5

39、 miles per gallon by 2025.When it comes to driverless cars, California is actually the third state to authorize(批准) them, behind Nevada and Florida. But by far it is the most influential. “Its meaningful because California is a big state , a first mover and really a big player,” Ryan Calo, a law pro

Animals cant talk, but can they lie in other ways? Can they lie with their bodies and behavior? Animal experts may not call it ly

44、ing, but they do agree that many animals, from birds to chimpanzees, behave dishonestly to fool other animals. Why? Dishonesty often helps them survive.Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals. For example, a bird called the plover sometimes pretends to be hurt in order to pr

45、otect its young. When a predator（猎食动物）gets close to its nest, the plover leads the predator away from the nest. How? It pretends to have a broken wing. The predator follows the hurt adult, leaving the baby birds safe in the nest.Another kind of bird, the scrub jay, buries its food so it always has s

46、omething to eat. Scrub jays are also thieves. They watch where others bury their food and steal it. But clever scrub jays seem to know when a thief is watching them. So they go back later, unbury the food, and bury it again somewhere else.Birds called cuckoos have found a way to have babies without

47、doing much work. How? They dont make nests. Instead, they get into other birds nests secretly. Then they lay their eggs and fly away. When the baby birds come out, their adoptive parents feed them.Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky. After a fight, the losing chimp will give its hand to the o

48、ther. When the winning chimp puts out its hand, too, the chimps are friendly again. But an animal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winners hand and start fighting again.Chimps are sneaky in other ways, too. When chimps find food that they love, such as bananas, it is natural for them to cry o

49、ut. Then other chimps come running. But some clever chimps learn to cry very softly when they find food. That way, other chimps dont hear them, and they dont need to share their food.As children, many of us learn the saying You cant fool Mother Nature. But maybe you cant trust her, either.1A plover

50、protects its young from a predator by_.Agetting closer to its youngBdriving away the adult predatorCleaving its young in another nestDpretending to be injured2By Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky (paragraph 5), the author means_.Achimps are ready to attack othersBchimps are sometimes dishon

51、estCchimps are jealous of the winnersDchimps can be selfish too3Which of the following is true according to the passage?ASome chimps lower their cry to keep food away from others.BThe losing chimp won the fight by taking the winners hand.CCuckoos fool their adoptive parents by making no nests.DSome

52、clever scrub jays often steal their food back.4Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?ADo animals lie?BDoes Mother Nature fool animals?CHow do animals learn to lie?DHow does honesty help animals survive?E17、Circle of Knowledge Most students today depend on the rapidness and co

53、nvenience of the Internet to provide the facts they look for. Given a research task，many students make use of a website known as Wikipedia，which is available（可获得的）to all users of the Internet. However，before the introduction of the Internet, students journeyed to the library to search for facts，figu

54、res and stories in a huge collection of books known as encyclopedias（百科全书） The word“encyclopedia，meaning“whole circle of knowledge”，comes from the ancient Greek language. The first encyclopedias were organized by topic. These early collections were the works of a single writer. The first book of thi

55、s kind was written by a Roman，Pliny the Elder, nearly 2,000 years ago. Plinys collection remained popular for almost 1,500 years. Producing such huge works was a difficult task. So experts began to work together, sharing responsibility for writing about different topics. The first set of books to us

56、e many authors was An Universal Dictionary of Arts and Sciences published in 1728. The multiple-author model became the most widely used format. Today there are many encyclopedias in different media. The online encyclopedia Wikipedia was started in 2001. Users can visit the free website on the Inter

57、net. But the online information has mistakes. Users are warned that newer articles may have large mistakes. Printed encyclopedias are more or less free of mistakes. However, it is expensive to make sure of the correctness. Wikipedia is trying to improve its correctness. They employ（雇用）1，000“fact che

58、ckers to look through the website and correct mistakes. The website managers also state that older articles are more complete and balanced. Encyclopedia Britannica has even made moves away from being a single-format book too. The company started a free online version. The free articles are short;how

59、ever, longer articles are available after users pay for them. Both online and print editions（版本）have disadvantages. The mistakes can be corrected，but the process takes time. Print editions are resistant（顽固的）to such mistakes. They are also resistant to something else：change. Sometimes new information

60、 becomes available after an encyclopedia is printed. Publishers can wait to include the new information in the next edition，but that might be a year or more away. More changes are likely for encyclopedias，whether in print or online. As time goes by，the knowledge of humankind will still need to be re
