Cheap and interesting.”“This sounds a good idea,” he thought. “Ill spend a month at West Hill Farm. I think I can enjoy horse r

19、iding, walking and fishing. Theyll make a change from sitting by the seaside and swimming.”He wrote to the farmer. In the letter he said that he would like to spend all of July there. Then on the first of July, he left for West Hill Farm.But four days later, he returned home.“What was wrong with Wes

20、t Hill Farm?” his best friend, Ed, asked him. “Didnt you enjoy country life?”“Country life was very good,” Henry said. “But there was another problem.”“Oh.

25、d and around quickly, and jumps high. In the background, a young girl reads a rejection (拒绝) letter from a ballet school. You have the wrong body for ballet, it says, and at thirteen, you are too old. This was one of the most popular advertisements (广告) of 2014 and it describes American ballet Theat

26、res principal (主要的) dancer Misty Copeland.This was not a real letter. But Copeland says it is very similar to letters from her childhood. While many dancers start at the age of three. Copeland only began to study ballet in 1995 as a thirteen-year-old. People often told her that she was too old, or t

27、hat she didnt have the perfect body type (She is only 157 cm tall). Her family moved a lot, and it was sometimes difficult for her to attend ballet classes. But Copeland loved dancing and did not want to give up. She stayed with her ballet teacher during the week and spent time with her family only

28、at the weekend. This was a difficult life, but she worked hard and won her first national competition when she was fourteen years old. Copeland joined the American Ballet Theatre in 2000 and performed in many ballets over the next few years. In 2007, she became a solo (单独的) performer, and in 2015 sh

29、e became its principal dancer.Copeland is now a dancer, author and Broadway performer. She also stars in the 2015 film A Ballerinas Tale. So whats next? According to Copeland, anything is possible: My career (职业) really is just now beginning.1How old was Copeland when she became the principal dancer

30、?A13B14C25D332Why was it difficult for Copeland to attend ballet classes?ABecause her family moved a lot.BBecause she was not a good dancer.CBecause she had no invitation letter.DBecause she had the wrong body type.3Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?ACopeland became successful

32、peland was too old to start ballet at thirteen.CCopeland has made her achievements by accident.DCopeland was lucky to get support from the ballet school.C15、Elephants losing tusksPeople killing elephants for their tusks has long been a problem worldwide. Although laws have been introduced to ban the

33、 selling of tusks, they have not been enough to save the elephants.But the giant animals have now “developed” their own solution to stay safe from hunters-by not growing tusks at all.Scientists found that among female African elephants, as many as 98 percent of them now have no tusks, reported The I

34、ndependent newspaper. The number was 15 percent in 1998 and only 1 percent in 1930, according to the BBCBut this solution has less been developed by elephants themselves, and more by evolution.Evolution is all about natural selection（选择）. When an environment changes, for example, animals and plants

35、that can deal with the change will stay alive while others wont. And for elephants, the change came when hunters started killing them for their tusks. As a result, elephants with big tusks couldnt stay alive because hunters wanted to shoot them. Those born with tusks managed to stay alive and give t

36、heir “tuskless” genes（基因）to their babies. As a result, more and more elephants are now being born without tusks.But this solution, as effective（有效地）as it might be, is a high price to pay for elephants. Tusks are important and play a number of roles, especially for male elephants, including fighting

37、with other males, lifting and digging things up.This is why scientists hope there can be other ways to protect elephants against hunters. They believe that when they are less likely to be killed , elephants will be able to grow tusks again.To David Cowdrey, head of Policy and Campaigns at the Intern

38、ational Found for Animal Welfare UK, however, this is not very likely to happen in the near future.“Unfortunately, it comes down to the markets,” he told The Guardian. “As long as people will pay high prices for products that come from endangered animal and plants, theyre going to have price on them

39、 and that causes the hunting.”1Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?AElephants learned to lift and dig things up without tusks.BElephants chose not to grow tusks because of their dangerous environment.CElephants with no tusks had a greater chance of passing down their genes.DA tus

40、kless elephant gives birth to more baby elephants than an elephant with big tusks.2The underlined word “evolution” in paragraph 4 means “_” ?Agradual change Bsudden development Ccomplete loss Drapid growth3What can you learn from the last two paragraphs?AWe should work out a better solution to prote

41、ct elephants.BPeople should pay lower prices for products made with elephant tusks.CElephants living environments will soon be improved.DThe key to elephant protection is stopping the trade in tusk products.D16、 Many Chinese students think American students enjoy more freedom than them at school. Bu

42、t American schools also have their rules. If the students break the rules, they will get punishment（惩罚）, too.On the first day of a new term, 128 students were sent home for wearing the wrong clothes. There are altogether l, 200 students in the school. Usually only 20 students break the school dress

43、rule every day. So the headmaster Theresa Mayerik said it was the worst new term she had seen.At Morton High School, students favorite clothing such as baggy（宽大）trousers, low-necked and tank tops（紧身短背心）are not allowed in classroom. Some students think they have the right to choose what to wear, but

44、the headmaster doesnt think so. Im supportive if half the students were sent home because 99% will get the message that our school are for education. Freedom doesnt mean free of restrictions（约束）.That is to say there is no total freedom in the world, no matter in the U.S.A or in China.1Many Chinese s

45、tudents think that _.AAmerican students are very free at schoolBAmerican students are not so clever as themCAmerican students dont love their school at allDAmerican students obey their school rules2128 Students of Morton High School were sent home for_.Anot finishing their homeworkBbeing late for sc

46、hoolCnot wearing the right clothesDnot cleaning the classroom3Some students in Morton High School think that they have the right to _.Adecide when to go to schoolBchoose what to wearCeat and drink in classDdo what they want4What does the underlined word supportive mean in Chinese?A高兴的B支持的C害怕的D难过的5Wh

47、ats the writers attitude to the school dress rule?AAgree.BDisagree.CNot sure.DNot mentioned.E17、 “The hound(猎犬)!” cries Holmes. “Come, Watson! Come.”We run quickly over the moor(荒野). We hear one last cry. A man is lying on the ground. As we approach(靠近) we see the dead body of Sir Henry Baskerville.

48、 He is wearing his brown suit.“Oh, no!” says Holmes, “This man has a beard!”Indeed Selden is dead instead of Sir Henry.“So it is all clear to me. I remember that Sir Henry gave his old suit to Barrymore, and Barrymore probably gave it to Seldenhis wifes brother.”“Then Selden is dead because of this

49、suit,” says Holmes.“Think, Watson! Someone gives the hound some of Sir Henrys clothesprobably the boot from the hotel in London. The hound picks up Sir Henrys scent and runs after this poor man.”Suddenly we see Stapleton walking towards us. He says, “There was a strange noise. I was worried about Si

50、r Henry. I wanted to check if he was all right.”“Really?” asks Holmes.Stapleton looks at Holmes. “Why, it is Mr Sherlock Holmes, the famous detective! Can you solve the mystery of the Hound of the Baskervilles?”Holmes shrugs his shoulders,“We cannot solve every mystery. Anyway I will return to Londo

51、n tomorrow.”“Oh, will you return to London tomorrow?”“Yes.”So Holmes and I walk off to Baskerville Hall and Stapleton walk to his home.Holmes thinks Stapleton is dangerous. But we have no proof that Stapleton is the murderer. “There are no marks on Sir Charless body. We know that he died of fright,

52、but we cant prove anything.”“Things are becoming clear to me,” Holmes says to Sir Henry. “Its a very difficult case. And you must help me to catch this hound.”We are surprised to see one portrait(画像) of a thin man is Sir Hugo, the first victim of the Hound of the Baskervilles. And hes like both Sir

53、Henry and Stapleton. “Stapleton is a Baskerville,” replies Holmes. “So he wants to inherit(继承) the Baskerville fortune, and he,” I say. Its an important clue.1The underlined word “scent” in Paragraph 7 probably means “”.AtasteBbootCsuitDsmell.2We can infer(推断) from the passage that .ASir Henry tells

54、 Holmes that Stapleton is a BaskervilleBStapleton wants to murder Sir Henry indeedCWatson finds out that Selden is Mrs Stapletons brotherDStapleton kills Selden by frightening him with the hound3Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?AHolmes and Watson think Mr Barrymore murders Sel

55、den.BHolmes doesnt catch Stapleton because he has no proof.CHolmes and Watson find the dead body of Stapleton on the moor one night.DHolmes tells Stapleton that he and Watson are going back to London.F18、A jobless man wanted very much to have the position of “office boy” at Microsoft. The HR manager

56、 interviewed him and then watched him cleaning the floor as a test. “You have passed the test,” he said. “Give me your e-mail address and Ill send you the form to fill in and the date when you may start.” The man replied, “But I dont have a computer, neither an e-mail.” “Im sorry,” said the HR manag

57、er. “If you dont have an e-mail, that means you are not living. And anyone who isnt living cannot have the job.”The man left with no hope at all. He didnt know what to do with only $10 in his pocket. He thought and thought. Then he went to the supermarket and bought 10 kilos of tomatoes. He sold the

58、 tomatoes from door to door. In less than two hours, he had 20 dollars. He repeated the operation three times, and started to go early every day, and returned home late. Shortly, he bought a cart, then a truck, then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles. Five years later, the man was one of the biggest food retailers in the US.One day, one of his friends asked him for his e-mai
