Are they gorgeous birds flying through the air or monkeys jumping th

11、rough the forest? Do you think of plants? Probably not. After all, plants arent the most exciting living things in the world. They just sit there and absorb water and nutrients from the soil and the sun. But actually there are also some plants that eat insects and even small animals from time to tim

12、e. We call these unusual things carnivorous(食肉性) plants. Although most carnivorous plants eat small insects, larger carnivorous plants in some hot and wet areas have been known to capture rats, birds, and frogs.One carnivorous plant many people are familiar with is the Venus flytrap. Its unique “jaw

13、s” will function when flies and other small insects touch it. Once its jaws close on its victim, it produces a chemical substance that breaks down the insect and absorbs the insects nutrients.There are several other examples of carnivorous plants. For example, some plants can catch insects with thei

14、r leaves, which are like a tall narrow wineglass, while some trap their victims with sticky tentacles(觸手). And some growing in ponds and streams absorb their victims like underwater cleaners. Carnivorous plants tend to grow in areas where the soil is very thin and lacks necessary nutrients. These pl

15、ants must find other sources for the nutrients they need.Trapping and eating insects allows these unique plants to survive. Unfortunately, human and environmental factors continue to threaten the limited environments where you can find wild carnivorous plants.Still for many people, the thought of a

16、plant eating an animal seems very strange. In fact, more than one person has turned the idea into a scary story or movie. Carnivorous plants dont pose any danger to humans, though. Unless youre the size of a tiny insect, you dont have to worry about falling prey to a Venus flytrap.1、What can we lear

17、n about the Venus flytrap?AIt produces a special smell to attract insects.BIt is the most important carnivorous plant.CIt catches insects with its unique “jaws”.DIt is a kind of poisonous plant.2、Why do carnivorous plants hunt animals for food?AThey try to reduce the harmful insects.BThey help keep

18、the balance of nature.CThey need some nutrients to survive.DThey enjoy the taste of animals.3、Whats the challenge faced by carnivorous plants?ATrapping and eating them from human beings.BPoorer environments to live in.CThreats from bigger animals.DLimited choices of food.4、What can be the best title

19、 for the passage?AHumans influence towards insectsBPotential dangers in the jungleCPlants that eat living thingsDVarious survival skills of plants22（8分） When we smile，our system recognizes that theres an absence of threat，and relaxation: It slows down our heart rate，and may reduce blood pressure for

20、 a short time，too，promoting overall heart health. Even forcing your face into a smile can reduce stress and relax yourself.Smiling is a language that everyone understands regardless of age，race，culture，language，and nationality. We all know that when you smile at people，even strangers，they almost alw

21、ays smile back，spreading a kind of peace and goodwill. This contagious（富于感染力的）smiling comes from a subconscious tendency to match other peoples emotions. Its why people who spend time around children，who smile often，naturally smile more than people who keep mostly adults company.People who are gener

22、ous with smiles are considered more likeable and approachable than people who wear a deadpan（故作嚴肅的）expression. Consider successful salesmen and politicians. Can you imagine how wed react if they wore sour expressions？ People who smile a lot are more likely to gain our trust and earn better tips than

23、 someone who provides the same service with a blank face.In a study，Major League Baseball players in 1952 who wore full face，genuine smiles on their baseball cards lived longer，around 79.9 years，compared to players who only partly smiled or didnt smile at all，who lived 5 to 7 years less. Smiling can

24、 make us look younger，too. People who smile frequently seem to age more slowly，appearing around three years younger than their less smiling counterparts.We now have evidence that we are born to smile. While smiling used to be considered a learned behavior that babies acquired at around six weeks of

25、age，more advanced testing has shown that even babies who are born blind can smile. Babies have been known to make breathing and sucking movements while still in the womb（子宮），and these reactions are thought to prepare themselves for their life outside. Now smiling has joined the list. Say cheese！1、Wh

26、at can smiling do according to Paragraph 1？ARemove your life pressure.BImprove the condition of your heart.CMake your blood pressure steady forever.DPrevent you from being absent-minded.2、What should you do if you want to smile more according to the author?AStay more with people smiling more.BApproa

27、ch smart children.CCare more about others feelings.DVolunteer together with more strangers.3、What does the author want to show by mentioning salesmen and politicians?AA false smile may hurt people.BSmiles contribute to a career.CGenerous people tend to smile more.DWork pressure stops people smiling.

28、4、What does the author suggest in the last paragraph?ABabies smile within 2 months.BBlind babies learn to smile.CSmiling is a natural ability.DBreathing and sucking are similar to smiling.23（8分） In spring, chickens start laying eggs again, bringing a welcome source of protein at winters end. So its

29、no surprise that cultures around the world celebrate spring by honoring the egg.Some traditions are simple, like the red eggs that get baked into Greek Easter breads. Others upgrade the egg into a fancy art, like the heavily jewel-covered “eggs” that were favored by the Russians starting in the 19th

30、 century.One ancient form of egg art is egg painting, which comes to us from Ukraine. For centuries, Ukrainians have been drawing complicated patterns on eggs. Contemporary artists have followed this tradition and adapted the traditional methods to create eggs that speak to the anxieties of our age:

31、 Life is precious, and delicate. Eggs are, too.“Theres something about their delicate nature that crazily appeals to me,” says New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast. Several years ago, she became interested in egg painting and learned the traditional Ukrainian technique to draw her very modern characters.

32、 “Ive broken eggs at every stage of the process from the very beginning to the very, very end.”But theres an appeal in that vulnerability. “Theres part of this sickening horror that I kind of like, the horror of knowing youre walking on the edge with this, knowing that it could all fall apart at any

33、 second.” Chasts designs, such as a worried man alone in a tiny boat, reflect that delicateness.Traditional Ukrainian decorated eggs also spoke to those fears. The complex and detailed patterns were believed to offer protection against evil.Egg painting art, dating back to 300 BC, was later absorbed

34、 into the Christian church. The old symbols, however, still survive. A decorated egg with a bird on it, given to a young married couple, is a wish for children. A decorated egg thrown into the field would be a wish for a good harvest.1、What do we learn about the decorated “eggs” in Russia?AThey are

35、shaped like jewel cases.BThey are heavily painted in red.CThey are favored as a form of art.DThey are valued by the rich.2、Why have contemporary artists continued the tradition of egg painting?ABecause eggs serve as a symbol of the coming of spring.BBecause eggs provide a source of protein in winter

36、s end.CBecause eggs provide a unique surface to paint on.DBecause eggs reflect the anxieties of people today.3、Which of the following best explains “vulnerability” underlined in paragraph 5?ADelicateness.BTechnique.CFear.DAnxiety.4、What is the main idea of the text?AEgg painting art preserves tradit

37、ional and popular symbols.BDifferent cultures have different ways of honoring the egg.CUkrainian egg painting art appeals to contemporary artists.DEgg painting art continues and develops in pace with time.24（8分） Everything about nuclear energy seems terrifically big: the cost, construction and decom

38、missioningand the fears of something going badly wrong.The future, however may well be much smaller. Dozens of companies are working on a new generation of reactors that, they promise, can deliver nuclear power at lower cost and reduced risk.These small-scale plants will on average generate between

39、50MW and 300MW of power compared with the 1,000MW-plus from a conventional reactor. They will draw on modular manufacturing techniques that will reduce construction risk, which has plagued larger-scale projects. Supporters believe these advanced modular reactors (AMRs)most of which will not be comme

40、rcial until the 2030sare critical if atomic power is to compete against the rapidly falling costs of solar and wind.“The physics hasnt changed. Its about much cleverer design that offers much-needed flexibility in terms of operation,” said Tim Stone, long-term industry adviser and chairman of Nuclea

41、r risk Insurers, which insures nuclear sites in the UK.Since the Fukushima meltdown in Japan in 2011, safety fears have threatened nuclear power. But the biggest obstacle today is economic. In western Europe, just three plants are under construction: in the UK at Hinkley point C in Somerset; at Flam

42、anville in France; and at Olkiluoto in Finland. All involve the European Pressurized Reactor technology of EDF that will be used at Hinkley Point. All are running years late and over budget. In the US, the first two nuclear projects under way for the past 30 years are also blowing through cost estim

43、ates.The UK, which opened the worlds first commercial nuclear reactor in 1956, is one of the few western nations committed to renewing its ageing fleet to ensure energy security and meet tough carbon reduction targets. It is seen as a proving ground, by many in the industry, of nuclear powers abilit

44、y to restore confidence.However, the countrys agreement with EDF to build two units at Hinkley Pointwhich together will generate 3.2GW of electricityhas come under severe criticism over its cost. The government is looking at different funding models but said it still sees nuclear power as vital to t

45、he countrys future energy mix. Small reactors, it believes, have the potential to generate much-needed power from the 2030s.A nuclear sector deal, unveiled last month, promised up to 56m in funding for research and development into AMRs and attracted interest of start-ups from around the world. The

46、government hopes the funding will give the UK a lead in the global race to develop these technologies, helping to provide energy security while also creating a multibillion-dollar export market for British engineering companies.1、Which of the following is true about the advanced modular reactors (AM

47、Rs)?AAMRs produce more power than traditional reactorsBSmall in scale, AMRs rose more safety risksCSo far, most AMRs have not been put into use yetDGovernments prefer energy of solar and wind to that of AMRs2、In paragraph 5, the author mentions the plants in Western Europe and the US to _.Aprove tha

48、t nuclear power has been threatened by safety concern.Bshow that the construction of nuclear power plants cost more that the budget available.Cindicate the construction of nuclear plants are slow in speed.Dpoint out that most power plants have adopted the latest nuclear technology.3、What can be infe

49、rred from the passage?ASome people have lost confidence in the development of nuclear plantsBThe UK government seeks to reduce the negative impact of nuclear power on its economy.CThe plan to build two power plants in Hinkley Point has been desertedDa kind costs for small modular reactors would be h

50、igher relative to large nuclear reactors.4、Which of the following can serve as the best title of this passage?ABritain counts on nuclear energy to keep lights onBTraditional nuclear plants boom with mini reactorsCNuclears share of power generation remain steadDNuclear power looks to shrink its way t

51、o success25（10分） When Zbynek Frolik needed new employees to handle increasing orders at his factories in central Bohemia, he sent out advertisements across the Czech Republic. But in a prosperous economy where nearly everyone had work, there were few takers. Raising wages didnt help. Nor did offers

52、to subsidize(補貼) housing. So he turned to the robots.“We cant find enough humans,” said Mr. Frolik, whose company, Linet, makes hospital beds sold in over 100 countries. “So were trying to replace people with machines wherever we can.”Such talk usually makes people think of a future where employees

53、are no longer needed. In many major economies, companies are experimenting with replacing factory workers, truck drivers and even lawyers with artificial intelligence.But in Eastern Europe, robots are being enlisted as the solution for a shortage of workers. Often they are helping to create new type

54、s of jobs as businesses in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia and Poland try to stay competitive. Economic growth in these countries has averaged 5 percent in recent years, affected by the global recovery. A booming economy has reduced the jobless rate to just 2.4 percent, the lowest in the Europ

55、ean Union.The lack of manpower, however, has limited the ability of Czech companies to expand. Nearly a third of them have started to turn away orders, according to the Czech Confederation of Industry, a trade group.“Its becoming a brake on growth,” said Jaroslav Hanak, the organizations president.

56、“If businesses dont increase robotization and artificial intelligence, theyll disappear.”Some factories in Eastern Europe are already on the way. At Elko EP, which makes industrial timers for companies like General Electric, 70 percent of production is automated, and the company is aiming to be almo

57、st fully robotized in a few years. In a corner of the factory, robots have taken over routine manufacturing(制造業(yè)) tasks. Jiri Konecny, the companys CEO, moved factory floor workers to more complex roles, and focused hundreds of other employees on research and development. “If we hadnt invested early

58、in automation, wed be dead by now,” he said.1、What is the problem that Czech Republic is facing?AIts hard to find human workers.BIts population is decreasing greatly.CRobots are now welcome at factory work.DEmployees do not want to do factory work.2、Which of the following may have contributed to the

59、 problem in Eastern Europe according to Paragraph 4?ATough competition.BAdvanced technology.CA low birth rate.DA fast-growing economy.3、How might Jaroslav Hanak feel about the future of Czech companies?APuzzledBWorried.CSurprisedDHopeful.4、What should companies do to survive?AChange their policies.B

60、Turn to other countries for help.CEmploy qualified human workers.DSpend more money on automation.第三部分 語言知識運用（共兩節(jié)）第一節(jié)（每小題1.5分，滿分30分）閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項26（30分）According to a recent survey, the modem housewife spends an average of 60 hours a week on household work compared to 46
