22、 is in fact the general name of the 18 hills including Zhu Hill and Tower Hill. The highest peak of Ali Mountain is Tower Hill with the height of 2,663 meters (about 8,736 feet). Ali Mountain is world famous for its “five rare sites” including the Sunrise, the Ali Mountain Forest Railway, the famous
23、 Alishan Sacred Tree, the Grand Sea of Clouds, and the Flamboyant Cherry Blossom. It is said that one who has not been to Ali Mountain will never know its wonderful beauty. The sunrise is a must for everyone who travels the Ali Mountain. Many have said, “To miss viewing the sunrise on Ali Mountain i
24、s like returning empty after entering the Golconda, a source of great wealth.” The best place to view the sunrise is on the top of Zhu Hill. The place and time of the sunrise are different due to the changes of the four seasons. If you plan to view the sunrise, it is best to ask the local people the
25、 time of sunrise, so you dont miss this magnificent opportunity. The Ali Mountain Forest Railway is regarded as one of three mountain climbing railways. Traveling along the 72-kilometer-long railway, the train climbs from 30 meters (about 98 feet) to 2,450 meters (about 8,038 feet) above sea level.
26、Its gradient（坡度）is so great that it is rarely seen in the whole world. From the bottom of Ali Mountain to the top, the train crosses four forest areastropical, subtropical, temperate and frigid zones. There is a Chinese juniper (杜松) within the Ali Mountain forest area, with some 53 meters (about 174
27、 feet) high, and 23 meters (about 75 feet) wide. This juniper is so huge that more than ten people can surround it. It has a history of more than 3,000 years, thus is called Alishan Sacred Tree. The most wondrous tree is a “three-generation” tree. The three generations of this tree exist in the same
28、 trunk. While the first and second generations have faded, the third generation is still flourishing. This tree is really a wonder of nature.The sea of clouds and the cherry blossom should not be overlooked. If you want to avoid sunstroke, the comfortable climate in mid-summer on Ali Mountain will b

The juniper has a history of more than 3,000 years, thus it is called Alishan Sacred Tree. BThe story I would like to tell happened about a year ag
32、o. I accepted a position in a company. John, an acquaintance of mine, told me much about the job and took my curriculum vitae (简历) to his supervisor. I did not refer to him as a friend because at the time we did not take part in activities together outside of work, nor did our wives.The first week w
33、as fine. Nothing was obviously strange with John at first until the second week, when our communication began to get a little strange. John began saying something like “you would have had to pay an employment agency several hundred dollars for a job like this”. I soon forgot his words till the next
34、day when he said something similar. Right then I started to really pay attention to what he meant. He acted as if I owed him money for helping me to get the job.He began to get short with me and I had only been there for two weeks. He was supposed to train me in building our e-mail servers and setti
35、ng up the entire standard monitor software. Instead, he went through the process so fast that even an experienced worker could hardly keep up. He would not slow down or check whether I was with him or not. If there was something wrong with a server, he would just buzz through the solution and not st
36、op to say anything like “you might want to remember this.” I began to get very frustrated.By the third week I began to get tired of his condescension (傲慢). So I began to challenge him in a way that was only one to one. He would respond to a question of mine with a question or just make me repeat it,
37、 and then interrupt me. I began to hate him. Later I tried to avoid him as much as I could, so I wouldnt run into him.He stopped me one day and asked me what had happened. I told him he was very condescending in his tone and manner. He asked me, “What can I do so that you will not feel like this way
38、 in the future?” I simply asked him to treat me with the same respect he would like to be treated with. He did it and we got along better gradually. I believed there was hope and eventually we would become friends and now we are.45. Why didnt the author refer to John as a friend at first?A. They sel
39、dom spent free time together. B. They had only met for two weeks.C. Their wives didnt know each other.D. They had many disagreements on work.46. What did John most probably mean by saying the underlined sentence?A. The company he and the author worked in was very good.B. The author was wise not to a
40、sk an employment agency for help.C. He had helped the author get a job without a penny.D. The author should have paid him several hundred dollars to express his gratitude.47.Which of the following is TRUE according to the third and fourth paragraphs?A. John was an experienced and hard-working employ
41、ee.B. The author was very slow in learning new things.C. John hardly lent an ear to what the author expressed.D. The author gradually got accustomed to his work.48. Whats the authors purpose of sharing his story?A. To express his dissatisfaction with John.B. To stress the importance of communication
42、 between colleagues.C. To remind us what problems can occur at work.D. To describe how to become qualified for a job.C Do dogs understand us? Be careful what you say around your dog. It might understand more than you think. A border collie（边境牧羊犬）named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects,
43、say researchers in Germany. The dog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a 3-year-old child. Its word-learning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee(黑猩猩). In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 g
44、roups of 10 objects. Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items and bring it back. In four tests, Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right. As the dog couldnt see anyone to get clues, the scientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words. In another experiment, the
45、scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew. The owner then told Rico to fetch the object, using a word the dog had never heard before. The correct object was chosen in seven out of l0 tests, suggesting that the dog ha
46、d worked out the answer by process of elimination (排除法). A month later, Rico remembered half of the new names, which is even more impressive. Rico is thought to be smarter than the average dog. For one thing, Rico is a border collie, a breed (品种)known for its mental abilities. In addition, the 9-yea
47、r-old dog has been trained to fetch toys by their names since the age of nine months. Its hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say. Even if they do, they cant talk back. Still, it wouldnt hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then. You might just get a big, wet kiss
48、in return!49. From paragraph 2 we know that _ . A. animals are as clever as human beings B. dogs are smarter than parrots and chimpanzees C. chimpanzees have very good word-learning skills D. dogs have similar learning abilities as 3-year-old children50. Both experiments show that . A. Rico is smart
49、 enough to get all commands right B. Rico can recognize different things including toys C. Rico has developed the ability of learning mathematics D. Rico wont forget the names of objects once recognizing them51. What does the writer want to tell us? A. To train your dog. B. To talk to your dog. C. T
50、o be friendly to your dog. D. To be careful with your dog.DThis year marks 46 years since Neil Armstrong became the first person to walk on the moon . In all, 12 American astronauts have walked on the moon, the last Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt doing so in 1972 .Enthusiasm for space travel has
51、 always decreased and increased. In 2010 , President Barack Obama cut funds for a NASA mission that would have put humans back on the moon by 2020. “ I understand that some believe that we should attempt a return to the surface of the moon first, as previously planned. But I just have to say here: W
52、eve been there before , ” Obama said. NASA Administrator Charles Bolden has also thrown cold water on the idea of a return mission to the moon .But others believe there are benefits to going back to the moon. “ Its the closest body to us, making it the least challenging to explore of all the planets
53、, moons and asteroids in our solar system, ” wrote Gene R. Grush, from NASA Johnson Space Center. “ Its an opportunity to establish a permanent presence off Earth a moon base for scientists or a colony for all of humanity. ”“ There is a lot of good science on the moon that weve only scratched the su
54、rface on , ” said former astronaut Tom Jones. Richard Vondrak, from NASAs Goddard Space Flight Center, agrees, saying , “ Astronauts can accomplish scientific exploration that is beyond the capability of robotic explorers. ”And then theres the private business. In the last few years, several private
55、 companies including Elon Musks SpaceX have launched rockets of their own, ending the national control over space flight. NASA is even considering a partnership with SpaceX, and Musk has said that if demand to go to the moon exists, his company will help fill it .Meanwhile, Buzz Aldrin, the second p
56、erson to walk on the moon, believes that theres a much better target for exploration: Mars. “ Weve done the moon we understand it better than anything else , ” Aldrin said. “ Weve got to start thinking of long-term investments . ”52. Richard Vondrak may support that _ . A. we have had a full underst
57、anding of the moon B. going back to the moon is a short-term investment C. we cannot merely rely on robots to explore the moon D. it is a waste of money to put humans back on the moon53. How many people mentioned in the passage are against going back to the moon ? A. 2B. 3C. 4D. 554. According to th
58、e passage , we can learn that _ . A. President Barack Obama thought people should try to return to the moon B. all the astronauts who have been to the moon dont agree to go back there C. All people are obsessed （着迷的）with space travel D. Elon Musks SpaceX belongs to NASA55. Which of the following cou

60、uter which continues despite serious negative consequences for personal, social or occupational functions. However, not all people who spend hours each day on the computer are considered addicted. There are many uses for computers and the Internet and in many cases, a person may spend 6 or more hour
61、s in a day on the computer but still not be considered an addict. Therefore, there is no set number of hours that is considered a potential for computer addiction. But those who are suffering from anxiety and depression caused by stress at work, relationships or financial problems tend to become com
62、puter addicts. Some people become addicted mainly because they feel bored with everything and feel like there is nothing else to do.

Just getting out and interacting with others can be very rewarding to the computer addict. Another method is to focus on
67、 new interests. For instance, a computer user might take part in a new gym membership, spend time at the movies with friends or go out for a walk. If a computer user does feel that he must go onto the computer, consider talking himself out of the computer use unless it is absolutely necessary. If he
68、 does go on the computer, he must make a plan for what he will do when on the computer, how long it will take and what time you will be off of the computer.
