11、brated on 1 April. Then in 1562, Pope Gregory introduced a new calendar for the Christian world, changing New Year to 1 January. With no modern communications, news travelled slowly and new ideas were often questioned. Many people did not hear of the change, some merely forgot, and others chose to i
12、gnore it. These people were called fools. Invitations to non-existent “New Year” parties were sent and other practical jokes were played. Over time playing tricks on 1 April became a tradition. The custom eventually spread to England and Scotland, and it was later transported across the Atlantic to
13、the American colonies (殖民地) of the English and the French. April Fools Day has now developed into an international festival of fun, with different nationalities celebrating the day in special ways.France and ItalyIn France and Italy, if someone plays a trick on you, you are the “fish of April”. By t
14、he month of April fish have only just hatched and are therefore easy to catch. Children stick paper fish to their Friends backs and chocolate fish are found in the shops.America and BritainToday, Americans and the British play small tricks on friends and strangers alike on 1 April. A common trick is
15、 to point to a friends shoe and say “Your shoelace (鞋带) is untied.” When they look down, they are laughed at. Schoolchildren might tell a friend that school has been cancelled. Sometimes the media get involved. Once, a British short film was shown on April Fools Day about spaghetti farmers and how t
16、hey harvest their crop from spaghetti trees!ScotlandIn Scotland, April Fools Day lasts for two days! The second day is called “Taily Day” and tricks on this day involve the bottom (or the “tail”, in informal speech). Often a sign saying kick me is stuck onto someones back without them knowing.21. In
17、 what condition would someone be called “fish of April” in France?A. When one is fooled. B. If one is fond of fish.C. When one fools others.D. If one prefers chocolate.22. What was the purpose of the British short film?A. To help the audience. B. To trick the audience.C. To warn the audience.D. To i
18、nform the audience.23. Where does April Fools Day last for more than one day?A. Italy. B. France. C. America. D. Scotland. BI have never been a fan of the phrase, “No pains, no gains.” I prefer the alternative version, “No pains, no pains!” When it comes to exercise, for example, I learned years ago
19、 that pushing through pain was more likely to lay me up with an aching back than to leave me feeling strong and healthy.But there are times when stressful situations actually do lead to greater happiness. A new study published in the Journal of Happiness Studies found that people who pursue (追求) goa
20、ls that are tough to achieve feel more stress in the moment, but greater happiness in the aftermath particularly if they feel connected to others along the way.The researchers concluded that happiness increases when people develop greater competence in something and greater competence only comes whe
21、n people keep on working through the stress-inducing phase of trying, fighting, and trying again to learn and grow. If the psychological needs to be autonomous or self-directed, and to be connected to others are met, the momentary stresses will be less acute, and the resulting happiness will be more
22、 lasting.This idea reminds me of another often quoted phrase, which I have heard in reference to challenging tasks, such as exercise “Fill-in-the-blank-stressful-task is the worst thing to do, but the greatest thing to have done.” In other words, suffering from the stress of an exercise class that l
23、eaves us feeling sweat-drenched shouldnt lead us to walk away from exercising. And if we can pass those stressful moments with a friend, colleague or family member who is trustworthy and supportive, all will be better.As I travel my positive path, Im certainly not seeking out stress. But life will o
24、ffer me plenty of it, whether I ask for it or not. My task is to choose wisely when and how to face it head-on, knowing that happiness awaits on the other side.24. What makes the author prefer “No pains, no pains”?A. His terrible fear of pain. B. His deep love of exercise.C. His great desire for hea
25、lth. D. His past experience of pain.25. What results in peoples happiness according to the new study?A. Their tolerance for stress. B. The connection with others.C. Their ability to deal with stress. D. The achievement of their goals.26. What does the author think of challenging tasks?A. They are ac
26、ute and lasting. B. They are tiring and boring.C. They are stressful but rewarding. D. They are interesting but unhelpful.27. How does the author treat stress in his life?A. Seek it out purposefully. B. Handle it wisely.C. Ask for help bravely. D. Wait until it disappears.C Fashions have a lot of ru
27、les. Most of them, however, are just wrong. But theres one rule that goes beyond tradition and into the field of scientific study of the brain: Black garments are slimming. It all comes down to how your visual system processes the light. The below holes in each square are the same in size, yet the w
28、hite hole looks bigger than the black hole. In the 1500s, Galileo Galilei noticed that some of the planets looked larger when viewed with the naked eye (肉眼) than they did when viewed through a telescope, making the white light of Venus (金星) appear eight to ten times larger than Jupiter (木星) in the n
29、ight sky. He knew something strange must be going on with his vision to cause this illusion, but he wasnt sure what it was. Luckily, scientists never stopped wondering, and in 2014, they figured it out.Our visual system operates via two main channels: “on” neurons (神经元) that are sensitive to light t
30、hings and “off” neurons that are sensitive to dark things. When it came to the dark “off” neurons, the researchers found that they responded predictably to dark shapes on a light background the greater the contrast between the two, the more active these neurons were. But the light “on” neurons behav
31、ed unpredictably. Even with the same amount of contrast, light objects on a dark background caused a greater response in these neurons.This makes some sense, evolutionarily speaking. In the dark of night, youd want to be able to take in every bit of light you can get, so a visual system that enlarge
32、s light objects on a dark background could be very useful. However, its not that hard to see dark objects in the light of day. It has some effects in the colors of your clothes and in the appearance of the planets the brighter appearance of Venus in the night sky makes it look bigger than the darker
33、 Jupiter.28. What did Galileo Galilei believe according to Paragraph 2?A. The neurons led to the difference.B. There was something wrong with his telescope.C. The difference was caused by his visual illusion.D. Things were bigger when seen through telescopes.29. What do we know about the “off” neuro
34、ns?A. They are sensitive to light objects.B. Their behavior cant be predicted.C. They behave differently from person to person.D. Their activeness improves with the contrast of colors.30. What does the author think of the phenomenon?A. It makes people feel puzzled.B. It brings great harm to people.C
35、. It is more common among youths.D. It is beneficial to peoples evolution.31. What is the text mainly about?A. Why we look thinner when in black.B. What visual illusions bring to people.C. How we are affected by the fashion rules.D. Whether peoples visual system is different.DEl Nino, a Spanish term
36、 for “the Christ child”, was named by South American fisherman who noticed that the global weather pattern, which happens every two to seven years, reduced the amount of fishes caught around Christmas. El Nino sees warm water, collected over several years in the western Pacific, flow back eastwards
37、when winds that normally blow westwards weaken, or sometimes the other way round.The weather effects, both good and bad, are felt in many places. Rich countries gain more from powerful Nino, on balance, than they lose. A study found that a strong Nino in 1997-98 helped Americans economy grow by $15
38、billion, partly because of better agricultural harvests: farmers in the Midwest gained from extra rain. The total rise in agricultural incomes in rich countries is greater than the fall in poor ones.But in Indonesia extremely dry forests are in flames. A multi-year drought (干旱) in south-east Brazil
39、is becoming worse. Though heavy rains brought about by El Nino may relieve the drought in California, they are likely to cause surface flooding and other disasters.The most recent powerful Nino, in 1997-98, killed around 21,000 people and caused damage worth $36 billion around the globe. But such Ni
40、nos come with months of warning, and so much is known about how they happen that governments can prepare. According to the Overseas Development Institute (ODI), however, just 12% of disaster-relief funding in the past two decades has gone on reducing risks in advance, rather than recovery and rebuil
41、ding afterwards. This is in spite of evidence that a dollar spent on risk-reduction saves at least two on reconstruction.Simple improvements to infrastructure (基础设施) can reduce the spread of disease. Better sewers (下水道) make it less likely that heavy rain is followed by an outbreak of the disease of
42、 bad stomach. Stronger bridges mean villages are less likely to be left without food and medicine after floods. According to a paper in 2011 by Mr. Hsiang and co-authors, civil conflict is related to El Ninos harmful effects and the poorer the country, the stronger the link. Though the relationship
43、may not be causal, helping divided communities to prepare for disasters would at least reduce the risk that those disasters are followed by killing and wounding people. Since the poorest are least likely to make up for their losses from disasters linked to El Nino, reducing their losses needs to be
44、the priority.32. What can we learn about El Nino in Paragraph 1?A. It is named after a South American fisherman.B. It sees the changes of water flow direction in the ocean.C. It forces fishermen to stop catching fish around Christmas.D. It takes place almost every year all over the world.33. What ma
45、y El Nino bring about to the countries affected?A. Agricultural harvests in rich countries fall.B. Droughts become more harmful than floods.C. Rich countries gains are greater than their losses.D. Poor countries suffer less from droughts economically.34. What does the data provided by ODI in Paragra
46、ph 4 suggest?A. More investment should go to risk reduction.B. Governments of poor countries need more aid.C. Victims of El Nino deserve more compensation.D. Recovery and reconstruction should come first.35. What is the authors purpose in writing the passage?A. To introduce El Nino and its origin.B.
47、 To explain the consequences of El Nino.C. To show ways of fighting against El Nino.D. To urge people to prepare for El Nino.第二节：七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。It can be difficult to meet new people and make friends, especially when you move to a new city or find yours
