15、. Red tourism is Yannans main industry. 23. Where can you read the news ? A. A magazine B. An advertisement C. China Daily D. A periodical BIn 2015 a paper published in a science magazine reported on the personality types of people living in various London districts. Extroverts (外向的人), the researche
16、rs who wrote it had discovered, favored Richmond. Those who were most open to experience gathered in Hackney. People in Barnet scored lower than average on emotional stability. What this study did not address was whether someones home range reflects their personality traits or imposes them. In other
17、 words, is what is going on “nature” or “nurture” (培育) ? However, in a piece of research just published, Dr. Holtmann of Otago University, in New Zealand, and his colleagues have filled that gapat least, they have filled it for dunnocks. The dunnock is a European bird. It has, though, been introduce
18、d to New Zealand and its population has boomed there. It is a well-studied species, and, in particular, some being measurably bolder (更大胆的) and more tolerant of potential threats, such as nearby human beings, than others. The teams research area was the Botanic Garden in Dunedin. This is open to the
19、 public, but some areas are more frequented by visitors than others. Dunnocks have small territories, so it was possible to measure the amount of human disturbance in a given territory with reasonable precision. And, by wrapping each of the dunnocks in the garden with colour-coded bands it was possi
20、ble to identify individuals by sight. Altogether, the researchers looked at 99 of them. They worked out a birds level of threat tolerance by the simple method of walking towards it, and then measuring how close one could get before the bird flew away. They did this several times for each bird every
21、breeding season, and repeated the process over the course of three seasons. A particular birds flight distance (ie, how closely it could be approached before it departed) was, they found, consistent within a breeding season. From season to season most birds got a little bolderprobably as they learnt
22、 more about the world and what they could safely get away with. But this increase in boldness with age was small compared with the different starting points of bold and shy birds when they first arrived in a territory. It did not, therefore, much affect the fact that, on average, birds flight distan
23、ces were inversely correlated (负相关) with the level of human disturbance in their territories. This was a consequence of disturbed territories being settled by bold birds, and undisturbed territories by shy ones. In the case of dunnocks, then, nature wins over nurture. Dr. Holtmann was able to show t
24、hat personalities match circumstances, rather than being created by them. Dunnocks can recognize which places suit them best, and choose to settle in them shortly after they are fully fledged (羽翼丰满). Most likely, that is happening in London districts, too. 24. What does the underlined words “that ga
25、p” in the second paragraph refer to? A. What the paper published in 2015 failed to handle.B. Why extroverts favour certain areas in London district.C. How Dr. Holtmann involved dunnocks in his study.D. What the former and latter study have in common.25. From Paragraph 3, we can know that dunnocks _.
26、 A. are native to New Zealand B. have distinct personalitiesC. are bolder than human beingsD. can be easily identified by its color26. What conclusion did Dr. Holtmann draw from his study? A. Its nurture rather than nature that matters in the case of dunnocks behaviour. B. Birds flight distances wer
27、e in proportion to human disturbance in their territories.C. Dunnocks choose their habitats wisely in the first place rather than adapt to them.D. Bold birds and shy birds alike settle in undisturbed territories in the botanic garden. 27. What is the authors purpose in writing the passage? A. To arg
28、ue that circumstances cultivate certain personalities. B. To entertain readers with some funny facts about dunnocks. C. To present the finding of a scientific research about dunnocks. D. To confirm the assumption that personalities match circumstances. CThe World Health Organization report compared
29、the “obesityrelated behaviors” for youngsters across 42 nations. And it reveals UK kids are among the laziest.Among teenage girls, the Scots toped the league table for most screen time, with 80 per cent spending at least two hours a day on computers. Wales came fourth with 76 per cent, and England s
30、eventh with 75 per cent. Girls in Armenia and Albania were least likely to spend hours idling online.Screen time figures for boys were even higher. Wales was second in the European “couch potato” league, with 85 per cent glued to their screens for at least two hours. Scotland was third with 84 per c
31、ent, and England 15th with 77 per cent. Boys in Switzerland and Portugal were least likely to dedicate two hours a day to sitting in front of a computer.Lead researcher Dr Jo Inchley, from the University of St Andrews, said social media was impacting on kids health. She said, “We know there are risk
32、s, such as cyber bullying and impact on mental health. Also, there are longerterm impacts on physical health from being sedentary. One of the main challenges is that this kind of activity (social media and computer use) is so much part of young peoples lives these days.” She said more needs to be do
33、ne to get kids moving throughout the day.Dr Steven Mann, research director for UK Active said the findings were “alarming”. He said, “Modern life has changed, but when teens are spending hours hunched over Facebook, Instagram and videogames, they simply arent getting the exercise that they need. The
34、se alarming inactivity figures show that playtime is over before it has started for too many children, putting them at far greater risk of future conditions like heart disease, cancer and type 2 diabetes.”Tam Fry, from the National Obesity Forum, warned Brit teens are now “slaves to handheld devices
35、”. And the WHO warns four in five fat teens will continue to struggle with their weight throughout life. The report also shows less than half of UK youngsters consume fruit or veg daily.28.

Dutch researchers have unveiled the Stella Lux, a foursweater family car that is not only powered by the sun, but generates much more energy than it uses.
39、It can travel 621 miles on a full charge, and even comes with an app to automatically work out the most efficient routes.Stella Lux was developed by Solar Team Eindhoven (STE), a group of 21 students from different faculties of the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). The team won the Cruiser
40、Class title 2 years ago and that is in 2015 with its first car, Stella.“By deciding to further improve on our solarpowered fourperson car, were once again aiming to win while at the same time proving that this energypositive family car offers a feasible future prospect，” says Solar Team Eindhovens T
41、eam Manager Tom Selten.This year the student team is once again taking part in the biennial(两年一次的) Bridgestone World Solar Challenge in Australia. The race for solarpowered cars covers a distance of 3，000 km, and goes right through the heart of the outback from Darwin to Adelaide.After the World Sol
42、ar Challenge the team are planning a tour through the Netherlands, China and the USA. “With Stella Lux we want to take the next step in bringing a solar car to the consumer. Therefore we want to show Lux to as many people as possible and we hope to inspire them，” says Tom Selten. “We see a future wh
43、ere everybody drives a solar car, where all cars produce energy instead of consuming it.”Stella Lux generates electricity via 5.8 sq m (62.4 sq ft) of solar cells and has an additional battery capacity of 15 kWh. A full charge provides a range of over 1，000 km (621 mi) in the Dutch climate or 1，100
44、km (684 mi) in the Australian climate, and the car has a top speed of 125 km/h (78 mph). To achieve this figure, the car has been designed to be both lightweight and aerodynamic.

48、we still need to read DickensWalk into any bookstore, and you can hardly avoid “bumping into” Charles Dickens. Many of Dickens works still sell well today. 36 As someone who teaches Dickens, the question of why we still read him is often on my mind. 37 One day nearly 10 years ago, however, when I wa
49、s giving a lecture, I was telling the students that for Victorian readers, Dickenss writing was a “tune-in-next-week” type of thing that generated crazes. 38 “But why should we still read this stuff?” the student asked. The answer I gave was only acceptable, “Because he teaches you how to think,” I
50、said.The question annoyed me for years, for years, and for years I told myself answers, but never with complete satisfaction. We read Dickens because he is not just a man of his own times, but also a man for our times. We read Dickens because we can learn from experiences of his characters almost as
51、 easily as we can learn from our own experiences. 39 But these are not exactly the reason why I read Dickens. My search for an answer continued until one day a text message came from a student of mine. “We still read Dickenss novels,” she wrote, “because they tell us why we are what we are.” Simple
52、as it was, thats the explanation I had sought for years.Dickens shines a light on who we are during the best of times and worst of times. 40 If you have time, go to pick up one of his many novels, read it and enjoy what it has to tell you about yourself.A. Then a hand shot up.B. I know that wasnt re
53、ally the reason.C. And they are placed on outstanding shelves.D. That question was never more troubling.E. Thats why we still need to read him today.F. I already know who it is Ill meet in those novels.G. These are all wonderful reasons to read Dickens.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分
