16、entist, what image would come to your mind? The idea that most of the kids have is a man wearing a white lab coat with messy hair, big glasses, and cups of colorful liquids giving off clouds of smoke. As for adults, the majority regard scientists as strange people who spend a lot of time working in
17、a lonely lab. However, the reality is quite different.Recently Ive had a chance to take part in a scientific experience far from my lab and into Costa Rica. It has a large amount of wildlife due to its geographical placement between North and South America. It is home to more than 500,000 species (物
18、种), which represents nearly 4% of the species worldwide!First we worked to protect wildlife at a leatherback turtle (棱皮龟) protection center. We helped the volunteers to remove rubbish from the beach to create a safe environment for turtle eggs to come out. After that we stayed at Mount Arenal where
19、we studied seismic (地壳的) activity relating to earthquakes. During our stay at Arenal, we rode over the mountainous areas and took a long walk through the rainforest. On the last day we got a professional introduction of rocket (火箭) science and learned about new rocket technology that will be used on
20、 the international space station.During my Costa Rica experience, I know that being a scientist doesnt mean working in a lab all day and night. A scientist is the one who loves learning and getting a better understanding of the world from helping protect wildlife, learning about earthquakes or inven
21、ting rockets. I think that science is so much more than wearing a lab coat and mixing chemicals. Kids need to be aware of the excitement and adventures science can bring!24. According to Paragraph 1, scientists are often believed _.A. to do experiments in messy labsB. to spend too much time in labsC
22、. to wear clothes in a different wayD. to work in dangerous conditions25.

What does the author learn about science from his exp
23、erience?A. Science is full of boring experiments.B. Science is related to chemical liquids.C. Science is more than working in a lab.D. Science is about wildlife and earthquakes.27. What is the best title for the passage?A. What a Scientist Is LikeB. Where a Scientist WorksC. How I Travelled in Costa
24、 Rica D. Why I Chose to Study ScienceCDo you think alien beings exist somewhere in the universe? It seems like Mars, our closest neighbor, has inspired the most science fiction as the place where aliens are most likely to come from. Recent Mars probes (探测) have shown us that there is no life on that
25、 planetat least not now. But that does not mean that life does not exist elsewhereafter all, the universe is really big. A lot of scientific research is going on in the search for “extraterrestrial life”. Think about itwhy should the seven billion people on this little planet be the only living bein
26、gs in the universe? It would, in fact, seem logical that this is not the case. So scientific research in this matter is based around the idea of finding other planets that have environments that can support life environments similar to the Earth. The search is on for the evidence of the existence, o
27、r earlier existence of life: from very wise beings to simple organisms (有机物). So far, there have been a number of theories as to which planetary bodies may have an atmosphere that can support such life and therefore deserve closer attention. As for places within our own Milky Way Galaxy, it has been
28、 assumed over the decades that Mars and Venus, as well as some of the moons of Jupiter and Saturn, may have been hosts for life. Now, as technologies have improved and we can obtain measurements of the composition of the atmosphere on extra-solar planets, the chances of finding “alien” life forms ar
29、e increasing. There has been a theory that some of the planets in the habitable zone of the red dwarf star Gliese 581 may be able to support life. In 2007, scientists discovered exoplanet Gliese 581cand felt that its atmosphere was most suitable for supporting life. But further research revealed tha
30、t it would not. Now, attention has been turned to Gliese 581d, at the outer edge of the stars habitable zone. The main standards for deciding whether a planetary body can be life-supporting are atmospheric conditions which allow the existence of water. Gliese 581 is about 20.4 light years away from
31、the Earth, so even if life does exist there, the distance would mean that communication would be unlikely. Having said thiswho says alien life forms (if they exist) need water?28. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Life existing outside of the Earth.B. The evidence of the existence
32、 of life.C. Other faraway planets in the universe.D. Creatures known from science fictions.29. What makes it possible for people to find “alien beings”?A. Modern scientific theories. B. Atmospheric conditions.C Environments similar to the Earth. D. Advanced technologies.30. From the passage, we know
33、 that _.A. the atmosphere of Gliese 581c was most suitable for lifeB. it is not certain whether alien life forms need water or notC. the 7 billion people on the Earth are the only beings in the universeD. the distance of 20.4 light years makes it impossible to find life on Gliese 581d31. Which of th
34、e following is the best title for the passage?A. Do Aliens Exist?B. Is Mars Suitable for Life?C. Are Alien Life Forms Various?D. Can We Communicate with Aliens?DConvincing someone to change their mind is really the process of convincing them to change their tribe (部落). If they abandon their beliefs,
35、 they run the risk of losing social ties. You cant expect someone to change their mind if you take away their community too.The way to change peoples minds is to become friends with them, to combine them into your tribe, to bring them into your circle. Now, they can change their beliefs without the
36、risk of being abandoned socially.The British philosopher Alain de Botton suggests that we simply share meals with those who disagree with us: “Sitting down at a table with a group of strangers has the incomparable and odd benefit of making it a little more difficult to hate them without punishment.
37、Prejudice and conflict between groups of people from different nations or races feed off abstraction. However, during a meal, something about handing dishes around, unfolding napkins (餐巾纸) at the same moment, even asking a stranger to pass the salt makes us less likely to hold the belief that the ou
38、tsiders who wear unusual clothes and speak in distinctive accents deserve to be sent home or attacked. For all the large-scale political solutions which have been proposed to ease racial or cultural conflict, there are few more effective ways to promote tolerance between suspicious neighbours than t
39、o force them to eat supper together.”Perhaps it is not difference, but distance that produces tribalism and unfriendliness. As proximity increases, so does understanding. I am reminded of Abraham Lincolns quote, “I dont like that man. I must get to know him better.” Facts dont change our minds. Frie
40、ndship does.The Japanese writer Haruki Murakami once wrote, “Always remember that to argue, and win, is to break down the reality of the person you are arguing against. It is painful to lose your reality, so be kind, even if you are right.”When we are in the moment, we can easily forget that the goa
41、l is to connect with the other side, cooperate with them, befriend them, and integrate them into our tribe. We are so caught up in winning that we forget about connecting. Its easy to spend your energy labeling people rather than working with them.The word “kind (family and relatives)” originated fr
42、om the word “kin (old fashion of family and relatives).” When you are kind to someone, it means you are treating them like family. This, I think, is a good method for actually changing someones mind. Develop a friendship. Share a meal. Gift a book. Be kind first, be right later.32. People are likely
43、 to change their mind when they _.A. change their beliefsB. are made friends withC. move to a new communityD. are given somewhere to go33. What does the underlined word “proximity” in paragraph 4 mean?A. Nearness.B. Action. C. Communication. D. Politeness.34. The author quotes from Haruki Murakami t
44、o imply that _.A. breaking down ones reality is easyB. kindness is more important than rightC. arguing and winning are not importantD. losing ones identity is a painful process35. According to the passage, sharing meals is effective in building connections because it _.A. pleases people with differe
45、nt beliefs or accentsB. makes people focus on eating rather than conflictsC. brings benefits to the people having dinner togetherD. promotes understanding and tolerance among people 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。You put a great deal of effort into reaching the co

New textbooks cost an arm and a leg. Try buying used textbooks its a good way to save money and serves the purpose as well. Do never look
48、at college life as endless parties and social activities.

66、me I talk about the topic, something crowds in my mind as if it had just happened.I was 16 when one morning, Dad told me I could drive him to Mijas and then take the car in a nearby garage to get it serviced. At that time, I had just passed the driving test, and I hardly had a chance to use the car,
67、 so I said yes without hesitation.I drove my father to Mijas, promising to pick him up again at 4 pm, then I went to a nearby garage, and put the car in there. Since I had several hours to spare, I decided to go to a movie theater near the garage to see the movie. However, I was so absorbed in the p
68、lot of the movie that I forgot the time. When the last movie finished, I looked at my watch: 6 pm. I was two hours late!I thought my father would be very angry if he knew what I was doing. And he would never let me drive again. So I decided to make up an excuse. Then, I drove to the appointed place,
69、 my father was sitting in a corner, waiting patiently. I first apologized for being late, then told him that I wanted to get there as soon as possible, but that something was wrong with some of the main parts of the car.I would never forget the way he looked at me. “Im very disappointed that you tho
70、ught you had to lie to me, Jason.” My father looked at me again and said, “When you didnt show up on time, I called the gas station and asked if there was anything wrong They told me you never picked up the car. So, you see, I know theres nothing wrong with the car at all.Paragraph 1:A wave of guilt swept over me and I had to admit the fact that I had gone to the movies and that was the real reason why I was late. Paragraph 2:“But father, its exactly eighteen miles home from here , and its dark. You cant walk back.” I begged.
