Its responsible for winter tourism as we know it today. It was a small band of English holidaymakers that changed Switzerland forever. In 1864 a bet

11、 took place between hotelier Johannes Badrutt and the vacationers on a damp September evening in St Moritz. As they sat around the fire at the Engadiner Kulm Hotel, concerned about returning to the foggy London winter, the Swiss manager saw a golden opportunity.“You holiday here in summer,” he chall

12、enged them over a bottle of red wine. “Why not enjoy the mountains year-round? Winter is so pleasant that on fine days you can even walk without a jacket.” Attracted by the promise of clean skies against a backdrop of towering peaks, the Englishmen were pleased to accept it; up until then, St Moritz

13、 had been a modest hiking destination in July and August. But if Badrutts promise proved false, the hotelier would pay for their journey and winter-long stay. How could they lose?Come mid-December, the group of men returned to Switzerland. Towards the end of their week-long journey, sitting on a hor

14、se-pulled sledge and wrapped head-to-toe in furs, they went through the 2,284m Julier Pass in southeastern Switzerland. But by the time of their arrival in St Moritz, the skies had cleared, they were sweating abundantly, and Badrutt, jacketless and with his shirt sleeves rolled up, was there to gree

15、t them.Of course, Badrutt won the bet. Word quickly spread throughout Britain about St Moritzs distinctive climatedry and sunny with a high degree of snow certainty. Year-round tourism landed the Alpine town of St Moritz.That Badrutt almost single-handedly marketed this undeveloped winter wonderland

16、 is a little unbelievable. The first tourist office in Switzerland had been established in the same year as the bet. Other resorts like the ones in Davos and Grindelwald were also popping up then. The story of St Moritz is, in some ways, also a tale of social transformation. But what Badrutt did mad

17、e the Swiss mountains accessible in a way that no one else had done before, so his role as pioneer cannot be downplayed.1、What can we infer about Johannes Badrutt?AHe had a good sense of business.BHe was a man with some disabilities.CHe disliked living in mountains.DHe was addicted to gambling.2、How

18、 did the British vacationers react to the bet?AThey refused it because they thought it was unfair.BTheyd rather pay for their winter journey by themselves.CThey thought that a jacket-free walk was possible.DThey were sure that Badrutt would lose the bet.3、What finally made Badrutt the winner of the

19、bet?AHis warmest welcome.BThe hoteliers courage and wealth.CThe vacationers passion for travelling.DThe unique climate of St Moritz.4、What does the author think of the success of St Moritz?ADavos and Grindelwald helped a lot.BHe owes it completely to the bet.CBadrutt played an important role.DThe su

26、 a shelf beneath a double set of bell jars. It has lain there for more than a century, its rest only occasionally disturbed when the rooms three key holders perform a coordinated opening ceremony to let technicians enter and clean this precious piece of metal.First, the cylinder is rubbed with a pie

27、ce of soft, alcohol-soaked cloth. Then it is steamed with pure water. Finally, the 1kg cylinder is returned, carefully, to its resting place.Such attention to a lump of metal is unusual, but has a purpose. The castle houses the International Bureau of Weights and Measures and that piece of shining,

28、circular metal is its holiest relic. It is the defining mass (质量)against which all other kilograms are measured. This is the international prototype, or standard, of the kilogram. The IPK, in short.Dozens of carefully weighted copies of the original have been made. They are stored around the world a

29、nd used to standardise individual nations weights and measures systems.But the days of the IPK, in its current form, are numbered. The International Bureau of Weights and Measures has decided to replace this single physical specimen with a more fundamental measurement based on electric current in or

30、der to define the mass of an object. The king of kilograms is about to be dethroned.“One key reason for doing this work is to provide international security,” says Bureau spokesman Paul Robinson. “If the castle burned down tomorrow and the kilogram was destroyed, we would have no reference left for

31、the worlds metric weights system. There would be chaos. The current definition of the kilogram is the weight of that cylinder in Paris, after all.”Another major motivation for the replacement of the IPK is the growing need to be able to carry out more and more precise measurements. “Drug companies w

32、ill soon be wanting to use ingredients that will have to be measured in terms of a few millionths or even billionths of a gram,” says Robinson. “We need to be prepared to weigh substances with that kind of accuracy.”1、What do we know about the IPK from the first two paragraphs?AIts cared for with gr

35、4（8分）Comedy and PsychologyEarlier this year I did a part-time comedy course. The class was taught by Ryan, a professional comedian.I had performed a show, which wasnt originally meant to be a comedy. However, the audience laughed at my first joke, then continued to laugh throughout the routines that

36、 were meant to be serious. So it was the audience who told me I was funny, but I didn t understand why or how to control the comic (滑稽的) moments. So, I joined the course to learn.“Turn off your editor that makes you say the right thing and remember how to be a child,” explained Ryan. “Dont try to be

37、 clever. Dont try too hard to be funnyand knowing all about the theory of humor is unlikely to help you much. Just behave in a silly way. Thats what people want to see on stage.”Ryan would help us loosen up by saying things like, “Wander around talking to others, but make sure that youre the lowest

38、status person here.”I d say that understanding the psychology of humor has actually helped. Recently I came across the book Inside Jokes: Using Humor to Reverse-Engineer the Mind. Its main idea is that any self-directed intelligent system will need to correct its own fault. Theres a risk that the oc

39、casional error will be made. If this was boring or burdensome, wed be less willing to do it. However, evolution has made the process fun.Heres a joke in the book: Two fish are in a tank. One says to the other, “Do you know how to drive this thing?” It works on the principle that we have started to i

40、magine one thingthat the tank is the typical container people keep fish inand, just in time, the following words tell us that our first assumption was wrongits a heavy vehicle. For correctly figuring out the error, we are rewarded with a pleasurable feeling. The joke is an efficient way of encouragi

41、ng this natural reaction, and comedians have become experts in slightly touching this mental funny-bone in order to make us laugh.Ryan was right when he said that knowing the theory of humor wouldnt help us that much as a comedy.During one exercise in the course, four of us were told to perform an o

42、pera. Susan and Caroline sang earnestly on either side of the stage, and I brought Henry to the floor, where we wrestled (摔跤) each other like out-of-control teenagers. The rest of the group was in uncontrollable fits of laughter. As a performer, I ll never appreciate just why it seemed so funny. But

43、 the point is that I would never have written this on the paper. It was a joyous, found moment.1、Why did the author attend the comedy course?AHe wanted to see how the theories worked in practice.BHe discovered he had some natural ability in comedy.CHe worried about how other performers would find hi

44、m.DHe got unpleasant experiences when performing a comedy.2、Ryan required the people on the comedy course to_.Acopy their favorite performanceBimagine other people s reactionsChelp themselves feel comfortableDbehave in a more playful manner3、What is the purpose of the joke mentioned in Paragraph 4?A

45、To discuss what humor brings about exactly.BTo give an example of another kind of humor.CTo prove the point about psychology of humor.DTo show why some people are funnier than others.4、What view does the author put forward in the end?AVisual humor is what appeals to people most.BWhat people find fun

46、ny is often unpredictable.CTheories explaining humor tend to be mistaken.DLearning comic skills proves to be a difficult task.25（10分）Weve all been there: Youre at a dull work meeting or presentation, and your mind keeps wandering to what to eat for lunch, your weekend plans, or whats going on with t

47、he new season of Stranger Things.Dont feel so bad about all your daydreaming. Mind-wandering may be a sign of intelligence and creativity, according to a new study in the journal Neuropsychologia. And as long as your performance at work doesnt suffer when your mind drifts, daydreaming may not be suc

48、h a bad thing after all, the study authors say.Researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology wanted to study what happens to peoples brain patterns when theyre told to lie still and do nothinga prime opportunity for mind-wandering. So they asked 112 study participants to do just that: lie in an MRI

49、 machine while staring at a fixed point for five minutes.The research team used those readings to identify which parts of the brain worked together during this type of awake but resting state, and they also compared the readings to tests the participants took to measure their creative and intellectu

50、al abilities. In addition, the participants filled out a questionnaire about how much their mind wandered in daily life.The researchers made several interesting connections. People who reported more frequent daydreaming during the day scored higher on creative and intellectual tests. Their MRIs also

51、 showed they had more efficient brain systems-meaning different regions of the brain were more in pace with each othercompared to people who reported less frequent mind-wandering.The finding that mind-wandering is associated with intelligence was somewhat surprising, says lead author Christine Godwi

52、n, a psychology PhD candidate. Thats because previous research has linked mind-wandering to poorer performance on memory and reading-comprehension tests, lower SAT scores, negative mood, and mental health disorders.1、Whats the authors attitude towards daydreaming?AUnconcerned.BApproving.CCautious.DD

53、oubtful.2、What can the participants do during the experiment?ATell lies.BDo some reading.CLie and stare.DAnswer some questions.3、Whats the finding of the experiment?ADaydreaming may result in good memory.BThe finding is contradictory to the previous research.CDaydreaming is somewhat associated with

54、mental health.DThe more you are mind-wandering, the less intelligent you are.4、Whats the best title for the passage?ADaydreaming is Not So BadBWhy People are Always Daydreaming?CDaydreaming is Harmful to The BrainDAn Experiment Report on Daydreaming第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A
