20、36_ to it. You open the pages knowing a little bit about it, maybe from the back or from a blurb（宣传信息）on the front. But who _37_, right? Those bits and pieces arent always right. Sometimes people _38_ themselves as one thing and then when you get deep into it you realize that theyre something comple
21、tely different.

Thats the _47_ of risk. You _48_ your time and your brain power in the words and what you get back is a new

Roy Hodgsons men open their campaign against Italy in the Amazonian city of Manaus on 15 June in the only World Cup game which kicks off
32、at 02:00 BST. England take on Uruguay on 19 June and play Costa Rica five days later.Hosts Brazil are in Group A with Cameroon, Mexico and Croatia while the World Cup holders Spain open with a repeat of the 2010 final against Netherlands.England will have to travel 1,777 miles from their chosen base
33、 in Rio for their first match in the tropical heat of Manaus.Earlier this week Hodgson described Manaus as the place to avoid because of the climatetemperatures reach 30C and humidity is about 80%although after the draw the England boss took comfort from the fact his team face a fellow European side
34、.The conditions in the north will be tough, so we will both be in same boat, he said. If wed had three games up in the north, it would have been difficult.Following Hodgsons initial comments, the mayor of Manaus, Arthur Virgilio, said England would not be welcome in the city. England takes on two-ti
35、me champions Uruguay in Sao Paulo and they play Costa Rica in Belo Horizonteboth cities are within 225 miles of their base.England have never previously beaten Italy or Uruguay at a major tournament(锦标赛), while they have never faced Costa Rica.Uruguay, who reached the semi-finals in 2010, and Italy,
36、 who knocked Hodgsons men out of Euro 2012, are ranked sixth and seventh respectively in the Fifa rankings while Costa Rica are 31st in the world - 18 places below England.56. When and where will England play its third group stage match?A. On 24 June; in ManausB. On 24 June; in Belo HorizonteC. On 1

Netherlands took the second place in the last World Cup. C. The mayor of Manaus is a fan of the British socce
39、r team. D. England has never played against Uruguay in the history. B How do you design a pay plan that motivates people to do their best work? A new study by three Harvard researchers suggests a novel answer: Shortly after you hire new workers, give them a raise.Previous research has shown that pay
40、ing people more than they expect may elicit reciprocity(相互作用) in the form of greater productivity, notes Deepak Malhotra, a Harvard business-administration professor who worked on the study. What he and his colleagues found, however, was that the connection between more pay and extra effort depends
41、on presenting the increase as a giftthat is, as something youve chosen to do purely as a nice gesture, with no strings attached.Malhotra and his team studied 267 people hired by oDesk, a global online network of freelancers, to do a one-time data-entry project for four hours. All of the new hires we
42、re people in developing countries, for whom hourly wages of $3 and $4 were higher than what they had been making in previous jobs. The researchers split the group up into three equal parts. One group was told they would earn $3 an hour. A second group was initially hired at $3 an hour but, before th
43、ey started working, they got a surprise: The budget for the project had expanded unexpectedly, they were told, and they would now be paid $4 an hour. The third group was offered $4 an hour from the start and given no increase. Even though the second and third groups were eventually paid the same amo
44、unt, the second group worked harder and produced moreabout 20% morethan either of the other two. People in the second group also showed the most stamina, maintaining their focus all the way through the assigned task and performing especially well toward the end of the four hours. Interestingly, the
45、more experienced employees in the high-performing group were the most productive of all, apparently because their previous work experience led them to appreciate the rarity of an unexpected raise. Contrary to conventional wisdom, Malhotra points out that higher pay, in and of itself, didnt promote p
46、roductivity: People who made $4 an hour from the beginning worked no harder than those who were hired at $3 and were then paid $3. To get the most impact from their pay plans, he adds, companies might consider not only what to pay new hires, but when to pay it.The key thing is how you present the re
47、ason for an increase, he says. Doling out extra money could promote productivity most if you make it clear that the pay raise is something youre choosing to do just because you can. Our theory is that people will reciprocate. If you do something nice, theyll do something nice back. 59Which of the fo
48、llowing is true about the research?A. None of the participants earned more than $4 an hour in previous jobs. B. 89 of the participants got a $1 wage raise for their high productivity.C. It was so important that the budget for it was increased in the process.D. Stamina shown in it was positively rela
49、ted to the amount of money paid.60. What does the underlined word “stamina” most probably mean?A. The quality of being intelligent or clever.B. The quality of doing something difficult or dangerous.C. The physical or mental energy needed to do a tiring activity for a long time. D. A particular metho
50、d of doing an activity, usually involving practical skills.61. Why did the second group produce more than the other two groups? A. Because they thought they were better paid than the other groups. B. Because they were experienced employees from developing countries. C. Because an unexpected raise re
51、minded them of their previous work. D. Because they felt they were nicely treated and tried best to repay it.62. What can we infer from this passage?A. No pains, no gains. B. It matters not what we give but how.C. Honesty is the best policy. D. Actions speak louder than words. CRecently, an almost l
52、iteral case of lifeboat ethics(伦理) occurred. On Aug. 4, Graham and Sheryl Anley, while boating off the coast of South Africa, hit a rock. As the boat threatened to sink the husband got off, but his wife was trapped in the boat. Instead of freeing his wife and getting her to shore, Graham grabbed Ros
53、ie, their pet dog. With Rosie safe and sound, Graham returned for Sheryl. All are doing fine.Its a great story, but it doesnt strike me as especially newsworthy. News is supposed to be about something fairly unique, and recent research suggests that, in the right circumstances, lots of people also w
54、ould have grabbed their Rosie first.We have strange relationships with our pets. We lavish our pets with adoration and better health care than billions of people receive. We speak to pets with the same high-pitched voices that we use for babies. As an extreme example of our feelings about pets, the
55、Nazis had strict laws that guaranteed the humane treatment of the pets of Jews being shipped to death camps.A recent paper by George Regents University demonstrates this human involvement with pets to an astonishing extent. Participants in the study were told a situation in which a bus is out of con
56、trol, bearing down on a dog and a human. Which do you save? With responses from more than 500 people, the answer was that it depended: What kind of human and what kind of dog?Everyone would save a brother, grandparent or close friend rather than a strange dog. But when people considered their own do
57、g versus people less connected with thema distant cousin or a hometown strangervotes in favor of saving the dog came rolling in. And an astonishing 40% of respondents, including 46% of women, voted to save their dog over a foreign tourist. What does a finding like this mean? First, that your odds ar
58、ent so good if you find yourself in another country with a bus bearing down on you and a cute dog. But it also points to something deeper: our unprecedented(史无前例的) attitude toward animals, which got its start with the birth of humane societies in the 19th century.We prison people who abuse animals,
59、put ourselves in harms way in boats between whales and whalers and show sympathy to Bambi and his mother. We can extend empathy to an animal and feel its pain like no other species. But lets not be too proud of ourselves. As this study and too much of our history show, were pretty selective about ho
60、w we extend our humaneness to other human beings.63. What is the function of the first paragraph?A. To create a relaxing mood for readers.B. To present the theme of this essay straightly. C. To lead in the main topic of this essay.D. To raise problems that will be solved later.64. The author mention
61、s Nazi laws in the third paragraph _. A. to show how cruel the Nazis were to the JewsB. as an example to persuade people not to love petsC. to illustrate the strange relationship between human and petsD. as an example to display the humaneness of the Nazis 65. Which of the following is true accordin
62、g to the article?A. The story of the Anleys and their dog was too unique to be newsworthy. B. Most people surveyed choose to save their own dog rather than a human.C. It was in the 19th century that human beings started to love their pets.D. Human beings are more and more concerned with animals nowa
63、days.66. What does the author mainly argue for?A. Pets are of great significance to us human beings.B. We should rethink about our attitude towards animals and mankind.C. It is kind of human beings to extend humaneness to animals.D. We should be selective when showing attitude toward other human bei
64、ngs.DNow, I want to start with a question: When was the last time you were called childish? For kids like me, being called childish can be a frequent occurrence. Every time we make irrational(不理智的) demands, exhibit irresponsible behavior, or display any other signs of being normal American citizens,
65、 we are called childish. _A_. After all, take a look at these events: imperialism（帝国主义）and colonization（殖民主义）, world wars, George W. Bush. Ask yourself: Whos responsible? Adults.Now, what have kids done? _B_. Well, Anne Frank touched millions with her powerful account of the Holocaust (大屠杀), Ruby Br
66、idges helped end segregation(隔离) in the United States, and, most recently, Charlie Simpson helped to raise 120,000 pounds for Haiti on his little bike. So, as you can see evidenced by such examples, age has absolutely nothing to do with it. We are called childish so often by adults that we should ab
67、olish this age-discrimination when it comes to criticizing behavior associated with irresponsibility and irrational thinking.Then again, whos to say that certain types of irrational thinking arent exactly what the world needs? Maybe youve had grand plans before, but stopped yourself, thinking: Thats
68、 impossible or that costs too much or that wont benefit me. For better or worse, we kids arent hampered as much when it comes to thinking about reasons why not to do things. _C_. Kids can be full of inspiring aspirations and hopeful thinking, like my wish that no one went hungry or that everything w
69、ere free kind of utopia(乌托邦). How many of you still dream like that and believe in the possibilities? Sometimes a knowledge of history and the past failures of utopian ideals can be a burden. On the other hand, we kids still dream about perfection. _D_. And thats a good thing because in order to mak
70、e anything a reality, you have to dream about it first.Now, our inborn wisdom doesnt have to be insiders knowledge. Kids already do a lot of learning from adults, and we have a lot to share. I think that adults should start learning from kids. Now, I do most of my speaking in front of an education c
71、rowd, teachers and students, and I like this analogy. It shouldnt just be a teacher at the head of the classroom telling students to do this, do that. The students should teach their teachers. Learning between grown ups and kids should be reciprocal. The reality, unfortunately, is a little different
72、, and it has a lot to do with trust, or a lack of it. Now, if you dont trust someone, you place restrictions on them, right. If I doubt my older sisters ability to pay back the 10 percent interest I established on her last loan, Im going to withhold her ability to get more money from me until she pa
73、ys it back. True story, by the way. Now, adults seem to have a prevalently restrictive attitude towards kids from every dont do that, dont do this in the school handbook, to restrictions on school internet use. Kids have no, or very little, say in making the rules, when really the attitude should be
74、 reciprocal(相互的), meaning that the adult population should learn and take into account the wishes of the younger population.Adults, you need to listen and learn from kids. The world needs opportunities for new leaders and new ideas. Kids need opportunities to lead and succeed. Are you ready to make
75、the match? 67. Where should the sentence “This really bothers me.” be put in the passage? A. In blank A.B. In blank B. C. In blank C. D. In blank D. 68. What does the speaker think is the root cause why adults call kids childish?A. That kids like being called that way.B. That adults are more irrespo
76、nsible than kids. C. That kids often make irrational demands. D. That adults are driven by age-discrimination against kids.69. Which of the following least explains kids advantage over adults based on the speaker?A. Younger age.B. Irrational thinking.C. Knowledge of history.D. Excess restrictions. 7
77、0. What is the best title of this passage?A. Dont Be Childish again, Adults!B. Time to Listen and Learn from Us!C. Dont Do That, Dont Do This!D. We Are Not Young Any More!第二卷 （选择题，共35分）第五部分 任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。注意：每空格1个单词。Change 3 is a lunar(月球的) exploration m

The spacecraft was named after Change, the goddess of the Moon, and is a follow-up to the Change 1 and Change 2 lunar orbiters. The rover was named Yutu following an online
79、 poll, after the mythological rabbit that lives on the Moon as a pet of the Moon goddess. Change 3 achieved lunar orbit on 6 December 2013 and landed on 14 December 2013, becoming the first probe to soft-land on the Moon since Luna 24 in 1976.In January 2004, the Peoples Republic of Chinas lunar orb
80、iter project was formally established. The first Chinese lunar orbiter, Change 1, was launched from Xichang Satellite Launch Center on 24 October 2007 and entered lunar orbit on 5 November. The spacecraft operated until 1 March 2009, when it was intentionally impacted into the surface of the Moon. D

82、tion for Change 3s 2013 soft landing. Change 2, though similar in design to Change 1, was equipped with improved instruments and provided higher-resolution imagery of the lunar surface to assist in the planning of the Change 3 mission. In March 2012, China began manufacturing the body and payload of
83、 the Change 3 lander, which will attempt to perform lunar surface and space studies independently of the missions mobile rover.Like its orbiting predecessors, the Change 3 mission is planned as a precursor（先驱）to further robotic lunar exploration missions, including Change 5, a sample return mission
84、planned for 2017. Following these automated missions, a manned landing may be conducted around 2025. Change 3 will attempt to perform the first direct measurement of the structure and depth of the lunar soil down to a depth of 30 m (98 ft), and investigate the lunar crust(壳) structure down to severa
85、l hundred meters deep. The development of the six-wheeled rover began in 2002 and was completed in May 2010. It has a total mass of approximately 120 kg, with a payload capacity of approximately 20 kg. It can perform simple analysis of soil samples and may transmit video in real time. It can navigat
