22、ey. She sold it at community business fairs, donating 10% of her profits to honeybee-advocate groups.

25、ined wide recognition now.DThey have no interest in academic subjects.23（8分）There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they con

26、sider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things. The pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine, the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those wh

27、o are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend (hurt) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons

28、 would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this

29、little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than th

30、e most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselve

31、s public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact

32、 (接触) with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.1、The phrase “sour the pleasure of society” most nearly means_.Ahave a good taste with social life Bmake others unhappyCtend to scold others openly Denjoy the pl

34、thor suggests that people should _.Aprevent any communication with themBshow no respect and politeness to themCpersuade them to recognize the bad effectsDquarrel with them until they realize the mistakes4、In this passage, the writer mainly _.Adescribes two types of people Blaughs at the unhappy peop

35、leCsuggests ways to help unhappy people Dtells people how to be happy in life24（8分） Both honeybees and ants are social insects that live in groups called colonies. They survive by means of their collective intelligence. Their decision-making power is distributed throughout the group; that is, no one

36、 ant or bee makes decisions for the group. Instead, they work together. As Deborah M. Gordon, a biologist of Stanford University, says, “Ants arent smart. Ant colonies are.” The same is true for bee colonies. Although bees and ants are quite different physically, they have a lot in common in terms o

37、f their behavior. Specifically, honeybees and ants have similar roles within the colony, both have communication systems, and both have the capacity of learning.Ants communicate by using chemicals called pheromones, which can alert others to danger or to a food source. For example, when worker ants

38、find a promising source, they let the rest of colony know how to find it by leaving a trail of pheromones on the way back to the colony. The other ants pick up the message using their sense of smell. Bees, on the other hand, use movement to communicate with each other. Worker bees send message to ea

39、ch other by means of a “dance”. Different speeds and movements send different messages. For example, when worker bees called scouts go out to find a new hoe for the colony, they return and do a dance for the other worker bees that indicates the location of the new home and how suitable it is. The fa

40、ster the scouts dance the better the new location is.Honeybees and ants are both capable of learning. One Chinese study found that bees can be trained to learn and remember a route to a food source. The researchers also found that bees can be taught to recognize hidden objects and use the concepts o

41、f “sameness” and “difference” to accomplish certain tasks. Ants take this one step further. Recent America research has shown that ants not only have the ability to learn, but also can teach their foraging skills to other younger ants. They observed that older ants accompany young ants in search of

42、food and teach them the route and how to avoid obstacles.As we can see, the social behavior of honeybees and ants is quite similar. Both coordinate complex actions and accomplish crucial survival tasks by cooperating in groups consisting of many individuals. Unintelligent as they may be as individua

43、ls, as groups they often show amazing brilliance as they go about their everyday activities.1、What do ants and bees have in common?AThey make use of collective intelligence.BThey live in similar-sized colonies.CThey have small leadership groups that make all decisions.DThey use the same method to co

44、mmunicate with each other.2、What docs the speed of a bees dance indicate?AThe distance to a neighboring colony.BThe quality of a new colony location.CThe discovery of a new food source.DThe direction to a potential food source.3、In paragraph 3, how docs the author demonstrate the idea that Honeybees

45、 and ants are both capable of learning?ABy using statistics.BBy explaining reason.CBy presenting study findings.DBy stating opinions.4、What does the underlined part “foraging skills” refer to in the third Paragraph?AThe skills of communicating.BThe skills of sacking food.CThe skills of leaning.DThe

46、skills of finding a new home.25（10分）There are many different voices on charity donations recently. Chen TianQiao, one of the Chinese billionaires, gave away $115 million to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to help promote brain research. Chen has been interested in the brain research

47、, believing it can advance the industries of artificial intelligence and virtual reality. However, this huge donation has caused heated discussion among Chinese scholars and internet users.Many criticized him for giving money to a foreign university rather than domestic institutes for brain research

48、, which are developing fast and are catching up with the US in just a few years. RaoYi, a biologist at Peking University, even said the donation was a typical mistake.Others, however, support his choice. They believe Caltech is a more reasonable choice compared with Chinese research Institutes. Calt

49、ech has a long history and has taken a leading position in biology, and therefore it produces more efficient results. Whats more, the results of the research will benefit not only the Americans, but also the rest of the world.A similar controversial（有争议的）case started two years ago when Pan ShiYi, ch

50、airman of SOHO China, donated $15 million to Harvard University to help disadvantaged Chinese Students.Many believe that China is still far behind in management and use of donated money, and that as a result, Chinese donators are looking abroad. In comparison, Western countries like the US, which ha

51、ve a long history of donating money, have well-developed systems that use money efficiently. They can also provide full access for donors who want to track the use of the money. To get more donations, Chinese universities should be braver and more honest. They need self-reflection rather than envy.1

52、、Why did Chens huge donations draw peoples attention?AIt was used for brain research rather than for the poor.BIt was not used efficiently.CIt was the largest donation.DIt should have been donated to a Chinese college.2、Which of the followings can best replace the underlined word “domestic” in the s

53、econd paragraph?Ahome. Bfamily.Chousehold. Dhomepage3、The example of Pan Shi Yi was used to _.Ainform some Chinese students are poor at educationBshow off the generosity of Chinese billionairesCpresent the widespread disagreement over donating abroadDprove the Chinese are crazy about donations4、What

54、 is the main advice does the author give to the Chinese universities?ADeveloping artificial intelligence.BEducating the braver and more honest graduates.CDeveloping fast to catch up with the US.DDeveloping systems to use the donations efficiently.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、B

56、 worthy of a double-take. A man in a suit was 3 a sign into the ground and a homeless man was 4 the sign while he hammered.I was 5 by how the two men looked so 6 .one with a soldier suit, snowy white shirt, but the other with 7 clothing and uncombed hair waving 8 in the wind.
