16、poor guy, is it your first winter? Your need to get a jacket.” So many people said this, and I was afraid of experiencing my first winter. It was as if a monster(怪物) was getting close, one which I had never heard of or seen.Then, one December morning, when I opened the door, I couldnt believe what I
17、 saw. Mother Earth had been covered with heavy snow. I touched it and tried to smell it. It looked like white sugar, but the snow was much more lively. And it was love at first sight.A year later, I had an opportunity to visit Ottawa and everyone I met warned me that the city is colder than Toronto.
18、 At last, I thought, “ I will experience a real Canadian winter. It was minus 24 degrees when I visited the Parliament buildings. I asked, “Was that it?”Ive since heard that Montreal is often colder, while others say Saskatchewan is the coldest. Still, others tell me that if I want to test myself in
19、 the coldest place in Canada, I need to go to Winnipeg. “Canada is a cold country, but the people have warm hearts,” Caroline, one of my first Canadian friends, said. And it didnt take me long to figure out what she meant by that.When I arrived, I was worried about where to stay and how to start a n
20、ew life. I was a total stranger to Caroline, but she hosted me for more than a year and considered me as one of her family members. I discovered that kindness is common in Canada.Ive learned a lot more about Canadians, too. I see clearly what Caroline meant by “warm hearts.” The support and kindness

To introduce some good sightseeing in Canada.C At school, I was in the top set for maths. My teachers recommended tha
24、t I study economics and statistics(统计学) as my A-level subjects, but I had my mind set on a life filled with the arts. In fact, I was a victim of gender stereotypes that men do science or maths and women do art or languages. Computer science, technology and physics just did not figure in my teenage w
25、orld view. Nobody popular in my school chose to study those subjects.Reality struck hard when I began attending job interview and interviewers would say, “Its great that you speak foreign languages, but what else can you do?” Nobody asked my friends who had studied science or technology those questi
26、ons.A survey recently showed that three of the best-paid jobs for women are in the technology sector(行业). Its a sector that really can change the world. We must show girls that technology has an effect on every industry, from fashion to architecture. Anybody can learn to code programs and these days
27、 its as important as reading and writing. Ive realized that at university Id achieved the wrong kind of literacy.Not being able to code programs limits your impact on the world far more than ignorance of great literature.Now I have a five-year-old daughter. I dont want her to blindly follow gender r
28、oles the way I did. I want her to know the fact that a science of technical degree will not limit her creativity but expand it and broaden her horizons far more than my arts background could. Im exposing her to Minecraft and apps, which help improve analytical and problem solving skills. Im hoping t

31、r the text?A. Art or Science, Either Is OkB. Good subjects, Good FutureC. Girls Should Choose More WiselyD. Catch Chances and Change the World DAn extra finger can be extremely flexible(灵活的). Two people born with six fingers per hand can tie their shoes, manage phones and play a difficult video game
32、all with a single hand. Whats more, their brains have no trouble controlling the movements of their extra fingers, a new study finds.Extra fingers are not that rare. About one or two in every 1,000 babies are born with extra fingers. If the extras are small, they may be removed at birth, but the new
33、 study shows some extra fingers can prove helpful.Its results also show how flexible the human brain can be. That information can guide people who design brain-controlled robotic fingers.Etienne Burdet is one of those people. Hes a bioengineer at Imperial College London in England. His team worked w
34、ith a 52-year-old woman and her 17-year-old son, both of whom were born with six fingers on each hand.The researchers studied the subjects hands with MRI(磁共振成像)and also looked at activity in the parts of the brain that control the hands. The results showed that a specific brain system controls the e
35、xtra fingers and that the sixth fingers have their own muscles and tendons(腱). That means they dont just depend on the muscles that move the other fingers, as some doctors had thought.The brain has no trouble directing the extra fingers, the researchers showed. To Burdet, that suggests someones mind
36、 would be able to control robotic fingers. He says that such fingers would likely give similar orders to the brain. However, it might be harder for a person not born with extra fingers.Living in a world designed for people with five fingers has led the mom and son to use their fingers in interesting
37、 ways, Burdet notes. For example, forks are too simple for them. “They frequently change their ways of using forks,” he notes. After spending time with the pair, “I slowly felt my five-fingered hands were a disadvantage,” he says.32. Whats a common misunderstanding of extra fingers?A. They remain ti
38、ny.B. They are a bit common.C. They do harm to the brain.D. They are more trouble than help.33. What do the underlined words “those people” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. People who have extra fingers.B. People who need robotic fingers.C. People who design robotic fingers.D. People who deal with extra f
39、ingers.34. What have researchers found about the brain of people with extra fingers?A. It is poor at controlling robotic fingers.B. It is as active as the brain of other people.C. It has no difficulty controlling the sixth fingers.D. It sometimes stops other fingers from working well.35. What do Bur
40、dets words mean in the last paragraph?A. Extra fingers are pretty handy.B. Special forks should be designed.C. He is dissatisfied with his fingers.D. The pair have trouble using forks.第二节 （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。Much meaning can be conveyed clearly with our eyes,
41、so it is often said that eyes can speak.Do you have such kind of experience? 36 , but not too long. And if he is sensing that he is being stared at, he may feel uncomfortable. 37 . If you are looked at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong w
42、ith you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry toward others stare with you that way. Eyes do speak, right? 38 . But things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex. If a man glances at a woman for more than 10 seconds, his intentions are obvious, that is, he wishes to attract
43、 her attention to make her understand that he is admiring her. In fact, continuous eye contact occurs between lovers only, who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time to show affection that words cannot express. However, the normal eye contact for two people engaged in conversation
44、 is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time, in order to make sure that the listener is attentive. 39 , as if he tries to control you, you will feel uncomfortable. A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim, since he believes in the false idea tha
45、t to look straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication. 40 . Evidently, eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the specific situation.A. Quite the contraryB. The same is in daily lifeC. In a bus you may look at a strangerD. Looking too long at someon
46、e may seem to be rudeE. This shows the listener is interested in your speechF. If a speaker looks at you continuously when speakingG.
