19、1、   A South Korean man and the 21 ducklings he has been raising as his children ever since they hatched have been breaking the internet with their amazing bond. A video that recently went viral in the western world shows the cute birds following their “mother” on a mountain hike and listening

20、to his every command.The middle-aged man, whose name is not revealed in the video, has been taking care of his 21 ducklings ever since they were eggs, making sure the incubation( 孵 化 ) period went smoothly, and even helping the tiny birds break through their shell when it came time to hatch. He was

21、the first thing they laid eyes on in this world, and he has remained the most important figure in their lives since.Ducklings naturally follow their mother around, and since the man was the one who acted as their mother, these birds follow him everywhere, even up a mountain. To them its only natural

22、, but the middle-aged man considers it training and conditioning for the time when he finally releases them into the wild. He would love to raise them all as pets, but knows that wouldnt be ideal for him or the birds, so hes making sure that they are strong enough to survive in the wild.The video sh

23、ows the ducks following the middle-aged man as he hikes up a mountain outside Seoul, stopping whenever he does and refusing to follow anyone else, even if they give the same “l(fā)ets go” command their human mother does. Unless they hear his voice and see him moving, they dont budge. Its actually quite

24、remarkable. I mean, its one thing to see dogs acting like this, but ducklings? Thats something else.While its not clear what the man does for a living, Im pretty sure he has a lot of experience with ducks, as at one point he reveals a certificate for “father of ducklings” dated 2005.1What can we lea

25、rn from the video?AThe ducklings just broke through their shells.BThe man accidentally saved some ducklings.CThe ducklings just obeyed the man naturally.DThe man took pride in his ducklings.2Whats the mans purpose of raising the ducklings?ATo make a living by performing.BTo film a video to attract a

26、ttention.CTo free them into the wild one day.DTo make a contribution to a bird reserve.3Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “budge” in Paragraph 4?AAttack.              BMove.CEnd.     &

27、#160;         DStruggle.4What can be the best title for the text?A“Father” and “mother” of cute petsBMan raises ducklings as his “children”CDucklings also regarded as good petsDAmazing bond between man and animals2、     Van Gogh painted sunflowe

28、rs for the first time in the summer of 1886.Two years later, his interest appeared again after he settled in Arles. After he had invited the French artist Paul Gauguin, whom he admired, to join his Studio of the South, he began painting sunflowers to brighten up the whitewashed walls of the yellow h

29、ouse he was living in, not far from the towns railway station.Gauguin accepted Van Goghs invitation. When he began dragging his heels(腳后跟), Van Gogh painted the last two of the four original Sunflowers for the modest bedroom where his guest would sleep following his arrival that autumn, “Van Gogh sa

30、w the Sunflowers for Gauguins bedroom as a way of attracting his friend to come from Brittany, “says Bailey.According to Martin Gayford, “Gauguin was very surprised by the Sunflowers, which he repeatedly praised and asked for as a gift. Years later, Gauguin himself painted some sunflower pictures.”V

31、an Goghs Sunflowers stand for (代表)his relationship with Gauguin. “I think he painted them for the joy of it,” says Jansen. “Van Gogh was at the height of his powers in the summer of 1888,”explains Bailey. “He painted the Sunflowers quickly and with great energy and confidence.” Van Gogh wrote to his

32、 brother Theo in late August, “Im painting quickly now, which wont surprise you when its a question of painting large Sunflowers.”Van Gogh recognized at once that he had created something important and that his sunflowers were so different. As he told Theo in January 1889, while other artists were k

33、nown for painting other flowers, “The sunflower is mine.” This, in fact, explains the reason for the popularity of Van Goghs Sunflowers today.1Van Gogh painted sunflowers in 1888 in order to _.Agive them to Gauguin         Bmake his livingCdecorate his house&#

34、160;          Dshow his artistic talent to others2Where were the last two Sunflowers placed by Van Gogh? _.AIn the British museum           BIn Gauguins bedroomCIn the towns railway station

37、#160;   When going through major life changes, like changing careers, I would change the people with whom I spent the most time. Weve all gone through periods when the people in our lives have changedgraduation, moving to a new city, getting a new job, joining a new club, etc. I dont think

38、 I need to convince you just how much influence other people can have over your identity. If youve ever experienced a major switch in your people environment, then you know that you change as well.Most people dont make these choices consciously though. You might consciously decide to spend more time

39、 with a certain friend, or you may ask someone out on a date to begin a new relationship. But few people choose their existing friendships deliberately.Theres no “getting rid of people”. People are always dropping into and out of each others lives. Associations grow into friendships, and friendships

40、 fade into associations. You dont get rid of anyone. The truth is that in order to make room for new people and new experiences, you may need to loosen up some of your existing connections.What about loyalty? Shouldnt you always be loyal to your friends? Once you have a close friend, even if their i

41、nfluence on you is slightly harmful, shouldnt you stick by them?Loyalty to a friend sometimes means having to let go. It means being loyal to their highest and best as well. If someone is destroying his health by smoking, for example, you arent showing loyalty by smoking right along with him. True l

42、oyally sometimes requires that you break damaging connections, get yourself back on solid ground, and then decide what you can really do to help your friend.It can take a lot of courage to tell someone, “Im sorry, but I cant have you in my life anymore." But even though this might seem like a s

43、elfish act at times, its often the best thing for the other person too. If a relationship is holding you back in some way, understand that it is also hurting the other person. For example, if you work for a violent boss, your acceptance of that situation is considered to be silent approval, encourag

44、ing your boss to continue to behave violently.1When experiencing major life changes, people may _.Ajoin a new social community        Binfluence their friends aroundCchoose their friendships purposely      Dhave their people environment cha

45、nged2What can be concluded from Paragraph 3 in the passage?AEveryone has at least one friend.BFriendship still exists though theres less connection.CIt is unnecessary to make new friends.DYou ought to treat your old and new friend equally.3What is the authors opinion on the loyalty to friends?ANever

46、 betray your close friends whatever happens.BCorrect their mistakes while you guard their goodness.CStick by your friends even though they do harm lo you.DBreak up with your friends immediately if they smoke.4How should we behave when employed by a violent boss?AWe should accept what we are told to

47、do.BWe should stay silent and be in favor of it.CWe should bravely disobey him if he is wrong.DWe should give our boss courage to continue.4、     Behind most of the bad things we do to our bodies as adults, eating more than we should is the idea we carry with us from childhood. On one

48、 hand, we assume that we are indestructible. On the other hand, we think that any damage we impose on ourselves can be undone when wfinally clean up our act.If the evidence for how wrong the first idea is isnt apparent when you stand naked in front of the mirror, just wait. But what if you eat right

49、 and drop all your bad habits? Is there still time to repair the damage?To a surprising degree, the answer is yes. Over the past five years, scientists have collected a wealth of data about what happens when aging people with bad habits decide to turn their lives around.The heartening conclusion: th

50、e body has an amazing ability to heal itself, provided the damage is not too great.The effects of some bad habits-smoking, in particular-can haunt you for decades. But the damage from other habits can be largely healed.“Any time you improve your behavior and make lifestyle changes, they make a diffe

51、rence from that point on.”says Dr. Jeffey Koplan.“Maybe not right away. Its like slamming on the brakes. You do need a certain distance.”But the distance can be remarkably short. Consider the recent announcements from the front lines of medical research: -A study concluded that women who consume as

52、little as two servings of fish a week cut their risk of suffering a stroke to half that of women who eat less than one serving of fish a month. -The day you quit smoking, the carbon monoxide levels in your body drop dramatically. Within weeks, your blood becomes less sticky and your risk of dying fr

53、om a heart attack starts to decline . Adopting healthy habits wont cure all that bothers you, of course. But doctors believe that many chronic diseases-from high blood pressure to heart disease and even some cancers-can be warded off with a few sensible changes in lifestyle.Not sure where to start?

54、Surprisingly, it doesnt matter, since one positive change usually leads to another. Make enough changes, and you'll discover youve adopted a new way of life.1Most people with bad habits of eating more than they should believe that     .Atheir bodies cannot be damaged by the b

55、ad habitsBthey can force themselves to clean up the had habits laterCtheir bodies can heal all the damage without the help from outsideDthey can never change the habits that have developed for decades2The evidence against the assumption that we are indestructible     .Ais seldom

56、apparent          Bis clearly shown in the mirrorCis still a question             Dwill appear obvious sooner or later3According to the recent announcements     .Awomen should

57、 eat as much fish as possibleBmen dont have to eat as much fish as womenCeating a little more fish can improve womens healthDwomen are at a higher risk of suffering a stroke than men4It is implied in the passage that     .Athe blood of smokers is more sticky than that of non-smok

58、ersBchronic diseases can be cured ifwe drop our habit of smokingCsmokers have lower levels of carbon monoxide than non-smokersDsmokers will be unlikely to die from heart attack if they quit smoking5、     When a big exam is coming up, you probably feel anxious about any wasted time and

59、 want to begin school as soon as you probably can.But tens of thousands of British high school students will soon be getting up later. Theyre taking part in a new experiment by Oxford University to see if later classes can improve their exam results.Grades 10 students in the UK have to take the nati

60、onwide General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) exams. They have to pass these exams in order to study more advanced courses, and later apply for universities.The Oxford University project means that GCSE students from more than 100 schools across England will start school at 10 am, more th

61、an one hour later than the current start time (8:50 am).The project is based on scientific evidence that teenagers are “out of sync(同步)” with traditional school hours, the Telegraph reported. And what they need is more sleep in the morning.“We know that something funny happens when youre a teenager,

62、 in that you seem to be out of sync with the world,” said professor Colin Epsie, who is leading the study. “Your parents think its because you are lazy and opinionated（固執(zhí)己見的）and everything will be OK if you could get to sleep earlier. But science is telling us that teenagers need to sleep more in th

63、e mornings.”Everyone follows a natural cycle of sleep and wakefulness. Biology has decided that teenagers go to sleep around midnight and dont feel fully awake until 9-10 am, according to scientists. Thats two hours later than adults. And their body clocks stay like this until the age of around 21 f

64、or males, and 19 for females.“Society provides school for learning, but the brain provides sleep. So we are exploring the possibility that if you delay the schools start time until 10 am, that will improve learning performance,” said Epsie.The results could be positive, based on previous studies.An

65、early study at the UKs Monkseaton High School in 2009 found that starting an hour later improved grades in core subjects by 19 percent.The Oxford project is expecting to publish the results in 2018. Its time to wait and see whether scientists will give us an excuse to get up late.1According to the a

66、rticle, students who take part in the Oxford University project_.Awill start school one hour earlierBwill be guaranteed more sleeping time in the morningCwill perform better academically than those who dont participateDwill no longer have to take GCSE exams2We can infer from the article that _ .Achi

67、ldren and adults have different natural cycles of sleep and wakefulnessBgetting up late is a sign of laziness in the eyes of most British parentsCthe Oxford University project is targeted at all British high schoolsDthere is still no scientific evidence that supports a late school start time3What is the authors attitude toward the Oxford University project ?ACritical        &
