10、aring out of the window during a flight, not everyone will think carefully about the question why airplanes have rounded windows rather than square ones.Over the years, aerospace engineering has made huge steps in airplane technology, meaning planes can carry more passengers and go faster. The plane

11、s have also changed shape to increase safetyincluding the windows. As commercial air travel took off in the mid20th century, airline companies began to fly at higher altitudes to lower their costthe air density(密度) is lower up there, creating less drag(阻力) for airplanes. However, higher altitudes ca

12、me with problems, like the fact human beings cant really survive at 30，000 feet. To make that possible, the cabin was changed to a cylindrical(圆柱体) shape to support the pressure inside. But at first, plane builders left in the standard square windows and this expansion meant disaster. The de_Havilla

13、nd_Comet came into fashion in the 1950s. With a closed cabin, it was able to go higher and faster than other aircraft.However, where theres a corner, theres a weak spot. Windows, having four corners, have four potential weak spots, making them likely to crash under stresssuch as air pressure. By cur

14、ving the window, the stress that would eventually break the window corner is distributed and the chance of it breaking is reduced. Rounded shapes are also stronger and resist deformation(变形), and can thus survive the extreme differences in pressure between the inside and outside of the aircraft.Fort

15、unately, designers figured out the lack of design pretty quick. Now we have nice, rounded airplane windows that can resist the pressure of traveling altitude. It gives being able to gaze out of your window to the world from 35，000 feet a whole new outlook, doesnt it?1、Why did airlines aim to fly at

20、ongs or depicted(描绘) through artistic pictures.

The power of poetry lies in shaping ones view of life and developing ones inner world,” said Li Bo, an expert guest at the Chinese Poetry Competitions second season.When it comes to teaching people about poetry, Li Dingguang, the

23、 shows academic advisor, suggested that teachers should explain more about the beauty of the poetry from both the aesthetic(审美的) and emotional sides, and guide students to lose themselves in the poems rhythmic and rhyming(押韵的) lines.“Although the proportion（比例) of ancient Chinese poems in the textbo

Take it out of the doors and look through it at everyday things, large or small, far away or near.At first you may see nothing to interest you.

31、il floating on water makes a picture in rainbow colors. Three people on the steps of an old house form a picture that seems to tells a story.Did you notice such things before you used the frame? Perhaps not. But, with practice, you soon do not need its help. You see things as artists do. Everywhere,

32、 shapes and colors catch your eye. Your mind takes “snapshots (快照)” of their patterns. Then, if you wish, you can share what you see by taking a photograph or by making a drawing or a painting.Sometimes its fun to “see small”. Did you ever notice the design of the seeds in sliced bananas? Have you l

A University of lowa(UI) study found teenagers are far more sensitive than adults to the immediate effect

38、 or reward of their behaviors. The findings may help explain why the initial rush of texting may be more attractive for adolescents than the long-term pay off of studying.For the teenager, the rewards are attractive. says Professor Jatin Vaidya，an author of the study. They draw adolescent. Sometimes

39、, the rewards are a kind of motivation for them. Even when a behavior is no longer in a teenagers best interest to continue, they will, because the effect of the reward is still there and lasts much longer in adolescents than in adults .For parents,that means limiting distraction (分心的事情）so teenagers

40、 can make better choices. Take the homework and social media dilemma: At 9 p.m., shut off everything except a computer that has no access to Facehook or Twitter, the researchers advise. Im not saying they shouldnt be allowed access to technology, Vaidya says. But some help in netting their concentra

41、tion is necessary for them so they can develop those impulse-control skills.”In their study,Vaidya and co-author Shaun Vecera note researchers generally believe teenagers are impulsive（冲动的)，make bad decisions，and engage in risky behavior because the frontal lobes（额叶）of their trains are not fully dev

42、eloped. But the UI researchers wondered. whether something more fundamental was going on with adolescents to cause behaviors independent of higher-level reasoning.We wanted to try to understand the brains reward system how it change from chillhood to adulthood, Says Vaidya, who adds the reward chara

43、cter in the human brain is easier than decision-making. “Weve been trying to understand the reward process in adolescence and whether there is more to adolescence behavior than an under-developed frontal lobe,”he adds.For their study ,the researchers persuaded 40 adolescents, aged 13 and 16,and 40 a

44、dults, aged 20 and 35 to participate.In the future,researchers hope to look into the psychological and neurological（神经学上的）aspects of their results.1、What does the passage mainly tell us?AThe initial rush of texting is less attractive for adolescents than the long-term pay off of studying.BAlways, re

Spring! We often describe “spring” as a time of re

48、birth, renewal and awakening. Many trees are blossoming and early flowers are pushing through the earth. Things are coming to life!But the word “spring” is not just a season. It is also a verb that means something going on or coming out quickly. When you put “spring” and “life” together, you will ge

49、t “spring to life”. This expression means something suddenly becomes very active or perhaps seems more alive! You may “spring to life” after hearing that a distant friend will be visiting you. Or maybe your favorite soccer team finally “sprang to life” in the second half, played well and won the mat

50、ch.Now, besides being a season and a verb the noun “spring” refers to a metal coil (线圈) that is wound tightly. When the coil unwinds, it often jumps. So, we often say a person “has a spring in his step” if he is lively and active. He might even appear to jump, or bounce a little when he walks.There

51、is another way we use “spring” as a description. In the case of a “spring chicken”, “spring” means young. However, “spring chicken” is also an informal, humorous way to refer to someone who isnt young at all. So, we use this expression in the negative form, as in “no spring chicken”. For example, le

52、ts say you know an 85-year-old man who decides to run a marathon, even though he has never exercised before. You could say, “Thats amazing! After all, hes no spring chicken.”But be careful when using this expression. It could be a little disrespectful. Lets say your boss shows you a picture of his w

53、ife, and you say, “Wow, shes no spring chicken.” That response would be disrespectful and a bad career move.1、What does “spring” mean in the expression “spring to life”?AThe season after winter.BBeing young and healthy.CA tightly wound metal coil.DTo occur or appear quickly.2、What is the passage mai

54、nly about?AThe origin of the word “spring”BThe meaning of the season “spring”.CSome expressions with the word “spring”.DSome characteristics of the season “spring”.3、How does someone feel when he “has a spring in his step”？AAngry BSurprisedCHappy DFrightened4、What can be inferred from the last parag

55、raph?ABeing young is a great advantage in career development.BWomen may feel offended when described as “no spring chicken”.CUsing “spring-related” expressions in conversations seems impolite.DExpressions with the word “spring” are always disrespectful to others.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
