It has been entertaining visitors of all ages with a collection of over 80, 000 animals as well as some fantastic shows and i
29、nteractive experiences for over 150 years.From the classic penguin feeding time to the insightful talks held in an authentic living rainforest there really is something for everyone to enjoy. There are fun and games in the kids zone including a range of special exhibits designed to be as informative
30、 as they are exciting. Children are free to explore a treetop village, a secret underground world and the “Touch Zone” which provides a safe environment for them to interact with all of their favourite creatures.There is so much to do at London Zoo you may struggle to fit it all into one day!

35、a full stomach. Or you will get inebriated too quickly. Of course, most college students shouldnt be drinking at all, but we know from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism that close to 60 percent of college students aged 18 to 22 do consume alcohol, which makes harm-reducing appro
36、aches important.Unfortunately, campus authorities and researchers are reporting a practice that turns the full-stomach drinking strategy on its head: rather than filling up before a night of partying, significant numbers of students refuse to eat all day before consuming alcohol.This is a high-risk
37、behavior called “drunkorexia,” which is one part eating disorder, one part alcoholisma very dangerous combination for college-age students. The term drunkorexia, which can also include excessive exercise or purging before consuming alcohol, was coined about 10 years ago, and it started showing up in
38、 medical research around 2012. Drunkorexia addresses the need to be the life of the party while staying extremely thin, pointing to a flawed mind-set about body image and alcoholism among college students, mostly women.Imagine this scenario: A female college freshman doesnt eat anything all day, exe
39、rcises on an empty stomach, then downs five shots of tequila in less than two hours. Because theres no food in her system to help slow the absorption of alcohol, those shots affect her rapidly, leading to inebriation and possibly passing out, vomiting or suffering alcohol poisoning. Thats drunkorexi
40、a.Tavis Glassman, professor of health education and public health at the University of Toledo in Ohio, researches drunkorexia and worries about scenarios such as the one described above: “With nothing in her system, alcohol hits quickly, and that brings up the same issues as with any high-risk drink
41、ing: sexual assault, unintentional injury, fights, hangovers that affect class attendance and grades, and possibly ending up in emergency because the alcohol hits so hard,” he says.“Alcohol can negatively affect the liver or gastrointestinal system, it can interfere with sleep, lower the immune syst

45、as been facing droughts for many years, with certain areas even having to pump freshwater hundreds of miles to their distribution system. The problem is growing as the population of the state continues to expand. New research has found deep water reserves under the state which could help solve their
46、 drought crisis. Previous drilling of wells could only reach depths of 1,000 feet, but due to new pumping practices, water deeper than this can now be extracted (抽取). The team at Stanford investigated the aquifers (地下蓄水层) below this depth and found that reserves may be three times what was previousl
47、y thought.It is profitable to drill to depths more than 1,000 feet for oil and gas, but only recently in California has it become profitable to pump water from this depth. The aquifers range from 1,000 to 3,000 feet below the ground, which means that pumping will be expensive and there are other con
48、cerns. The biggest concern is the gradual setting down of the land surface. As the water is pumped out, the vacant space left is pressed by the weight of the earth above.Even though pumping from these depths is expensive, it is still cheaper than desalinating (脱盐) the ocean water in the largely coas
49、tal state. Some desalination plants exist where possible, but they are costly to run and can need constant repairs. Wells are much more reliable sources of freshwater, and California is hoping that these deep wells may be the answer to their severe water shortage.One problem with these sources is th
50、at the deep water also has a higher level of salt than shallower aquifers. This means that some water may even need to be desalinated after extraction, thus increasing the cost. Research from the study of groundwater has just been published. New estimates of the water reserves now go up to 2,700 bil
51、lion cubic meters of freshwater.61.According to the text, what causes the water crisis in California?A.Previous drilling of wells. B.The messy distribution system.C.Constant droughts in the area. D.The adoption of new pumping practices.62.The research teams think it _ to extract water from deeper aq
52、uifers.A.expensive but practical B.reliable and profitableC.cost-free but demanding D.cheap and environment-friendly63.What is mentioned as a consequence of extracting water from deep underground?A.The damage to aquifers. B.The sinking of land surface.C.The decrease in operation costs. D.The negativ
53、e effects on the climate.64.What is the authors purpose in writing the text?A.To encourage people to save water.B.To promote the seawater desalination.C.To introduce a new way of extracting freshwater.D.To draw peoples attention to the droughts in California.DAlthough Bertha Young was thirty she sti
54、ll had moments like this when she wanted to run instead of walk, to take dancing steps on and off the pavement, to throw something up in the air and catch it again, or to stand still and laugh at nothing at nothing, simply.What can you do if you are thirty and, turning the corner of your own street,
55、 you are overcome, suddenly by a feeling of happiness absolute happiness.Oh, is there no way you can express it without being “drunk and disorderly”? How stupid civilization is! Why should you be given a body if you have to keep it shut up in a case like a rare, rare fiddle(小提琴)?“No, that about the
56、fiddle is not quite what I mean,” she thought, running up the steps and feeling in her bag for the key shed forgotten it, as usual and rattling the letter-box. “Its not what I mean, because Thank you, Mary” she went into the hall. “Is nurse back?”“Yes, M,m.”“Ill go upstairs.” And she ran upstairs to
57、 the nursery.Nurse sat at a low table giving Little B her supper after her bath. The baby looked up when she saw her mother and began to jump.“Now, my lovey, eat it up like a good girl,” said nurse, setting her lips in a way that Bertha knew, and that meant she had come into the nursery at another w
58、rong moment.“Has she been good, Nanny?”“Shes been a little sweet all the afternoon,” whispered Nanny. “We went to the park and I sat down on a chair and took her out of the pram(婴儿车) and a big dog came along and she pulled its ear. Oh, you should have seen her. Bertha wanted to ask if it wasnt rathe
59、r dangerous to let her pull a strange dogs ear. But she did not dare to. She stood watching them, her hands by her side, like the poor little girl in front of the rich girl with the doll.The baby looked up at her again, stared, and then smiled so charmingly that Bertha couldnt help crying.“Oh, Nanny
60、, do let me finishing giving her supper while you put the bath things away.“Well, Mm, she oughtnt to be changed hands while shes eating,” said Nanny, still whispering. “It unsettles her, its very likely to upset her.”How absurd it was. Why have a baby if it has to be kept not in a case like a rare,r

And I have such a time with her after!”Thank heaven! Nanny went out of the room with the bath towels.“Now Ive got you to myself, my little pr
62、ecious,” said Bertha, as the baby learned against her.She ate delightfully, holding up her lips for the spoon and then waving her hands.Sometimes she wouldnt let the spoon go; and sometimes just as Bertha had filled it, she waved it away to the four winds.When the soup was finished Bertha turned rou
63、nd to the fire. “Youre nice youre very nice!” said she, kissing her warm baby. “Im fond of you. I like you.”And indeed, she loved Little B so much her neck as she bent forward, her pretty toes as they shone transparent in the firelight that all her feeling of happiness came back again, and again she
64、 didnt know how to express it what to do with it.“Youre wanted on the telephone,” said Nanny, coming back in victory and seizing her Little B. 65. In paragraph 3 and 15, a “rare, rare fiddle” is used to show that _.A. Bertha is frustrated by not feeling free to express her musical talentsB. wealthy
65、mothers are not allowed to look after their childrenC. Bertha considers her baby girl an extraordinary childD. people of a certain age are expected to follow a certain code of behavior66.

72、speaking, perfectionism is a good thing, if it makes you do better work and try harder to complete tasks well. However, perfectionism can become a bad thing when it stops you feeling satisfied with yourself or what youve accomplished. Every artist knows how important it is to stop adding touches to
73、their paintings and how constantly adding elements can end up ruining the work. If you constantly demand only the very best from yourself, this can damage your self-respect as you find nothing you do will live up to your expectations. And if you extend this harsh(无情的) judgment to your friends and fa
74、mily and only focus on the negatives around them, you will find that they begin to dislike and avoid you.So how do you get rid of these kinds of negative perfectionism? The following suggestions might help you a lot.First of all, youd better think twice about your standards. Look at what other peopl
75、e do. How long does it take them to carry out a project? Are their lower standards getting them fired? Do they still accomplish good work? Are your exacting(苛求的) standards worth the cost in terms of time and energy? I am sure that you can learn a lot from your answers.Secondly, dont always compare y
76、ourself with others. Perfectionists tend to have high standards. For example, an artist who thinks his work is never done might be comparing his paintings to those of Vincent van Gogh, Leonardo da Vinci or other great artists. Remember that only a few people can become great masters and that most of
77、 us are just common people.Last but not least, try to look at the situation objectively. If you are constantly adjusting things and never feel satisfied, then the chances are that you are too close to the situation and that you cant judge it rightly any more. Youd better ask those around you what th
78、ey think and whether they think your work is good enough. Besides, give your project some breathing space by leaving it alone for some time, so you can come back to it with “fresh eyes”.Nobody, nor any idea, is perfect. If you have a perfectionist streak in you, try and let it go, and embrace the pr
79、ocess of getting your idea out into the world, rather than focusing on the end result.Perfectionism is holding you back 71 perfectionismcan causeIt can make one 72 with himself or his achievements.It can get ones self-respect damaged.It can make one lose 73 among his friends and family members.Ways

82、nguistic rules. This years latest slang (俚语) terms add a further simplification: the use of pinyin acronyms (首字母缩略词). “Awsl,” in pinyin, for instance,means “Ah, wo si le” (Oh, Im gonna die), and is used if something is too cute or adorable to bear. “Pyq” stands for “pengyou quan”，the social feed on
83、the popular Chinese social media app WeChat, and “nsdd” stands for “ni shuo de dui” (youre right).Teens want to be different from their parents, so its natural for them to create and use their own linguistic terms to show that. In doing so, young people are indeed driving linguistic change. They are
84、nt the only factor influencing language development, but they can indeed transform how future generations communicate.Critics fear that Chinese internet slang will have the potential to negatively influence broader linguistic trends of Mandarin Chinese, in particular, the gradual taking over of piny
85、in. As pinyin gets widely used when texting or writing on mobile phone or computer, while less and less people write characters by hand, people gradually forget how to write them. The phenomenon has got a name in China: Character amnesia(健忘症).【写作内容】1. 用约30个单词概述上文年轻人使用网络语言的现象；2. 用约120个单词发表你的观点，内容包括：谈

Butthe rapidly developing Internet lingo, some people are concerned that its ruining the Chinese language
88、.In my opinion, its unnecessary for older generations to fear the use of slang is weakeningthe peoples capability to write and remember Chinese characters. For one thing, new terms addvariety to a language as they give a group of people a sense of belonging. For another, youthlingo, which is a sourc
89、e of identity for young people, has existed long before the Internet. As amatter of fact, youth lingo has not made the Chinese language disappear but has impacted thelanguage.To conclude, while language development is unavoidable, Chinese Internet lingo is unlikelyto replace the existing use of Mand
90、arin Chinese, but will rather be enriching it by adding another layer.Possible Version two:Nowadays, young people often create somenew slangsto differentiate themselves. However, with the rapid development of Internet lingo, many critics, especially the seniors, believe that the emergence of such li
91、ngo will damage the foundation of Chinese language.In my opinion, it is not necessary to worry about thenew slang thatwill likely weaken the new generations capability of writing or rememberingChinese characters. There are two reasons. Firstly, the purpose of language is to convey ideas and share op
92、inions. Thus, theprevailing youth lingo,as a more concise and efficient way of expression,is in fact anenrichment of modern Chinese language.Secondly, since every era has its own young generation,the youth lingo, can be a new identityfor young people,cannot pollute or extinct Chinese language but by
93、 contrast, it may become an emblemor living fossilofthis specific era.To conclude, while language development is inevitable, Chinese internet lingo is unlikely to replace the existing use of Mandarin Chinese but will be enriching it by adding a new layer or dimension to it.听力试题原文Text 1W: Simon, coul

108、ed to a big city, so I have experienced the good and bad sides of both. I never thought that I would like living in a big city, but I was wrong. After ten years of living in one, I cant imagine ever living in a small town again. Surely small towns and big cities both have some problems in terms of t
109、ransport. In a small town, you have to own a car to make life comfortable. You cant get around without one because there isnt any kind of public transport. Big cities generally have heavy traffic and expensive parking, but there you have a choice of taking public transport, which is cheaper than dri
110、ving. So, if you dont have a car, youd better live in the city. I also love the exciting life in big cities. I can always enjoy a lot of films, concerts, and other wonderful shows. However, these things are not common in small towns. The final thing I like about large cities is that you can meet dif
111、ferent kinds of people. I think that living in an area where everyone was just like me would quickly become dull. Of course, safety should be considered, and thats one area where small towns are better than big cities. Still, I would rather be a bit more careful and live in a large city than to feel safe but dull.
