8、surface and Deep-lying ground water. D. Deep-lying ground water and Arctic Icecap and glaciers 、BMany cities have subways and underground public transportation to take locals and tourists alike rapidly around the city. However, theres something different about riding a London subway. It may not look
9、 different, but the historical value of one of Englands most popular forms of transportation is enough to make riding the subway a must when visiting London. With a little under 300 different stations, the subway can take you almost anywhere you need to go.Riding a London subway, a person from other
10、 countries will notice one major difference: in London, people do not look at each other. In fact, eye contact is avoided at all times. Thats not rudenesspeople are just too busy to bother looking.Busy doing what, you ask? Well, theyre certainly not using the time for a moment of quiet thinking. Nor
11、 are they reading a book. New technology has replaced quiet habits. Today the only acceptable form of book on the London underground is an e-book.Apple must earn a fortune from London commuters（使用月票上下班者）. Since the launch of the iPhone in 2007, over 40,000yes, thats 40,000 “apps” have been designed.
12、Commuters love them because they are the perfect time-fillers. One “app”, called iShoot, is a game that features tanks. Another one, Tube Exits, tells passengers where to sit on the train to be closest to the exit of their destination. iSteam clouds the iPhone screen when you breathe into the microp
13、hone. You can then write in the “steam” on your phone screen.For those without an iPhone, another Apple product, the iPod, may be the distraction（消遣）of choice. Its not just teenagers who “plug in” to their musiciPods are a popular way to pass the time for all ages.And if games, e-books and music are
14、nt enough to keep you occupied, then perhaps you would prefer a film? The development of palm DVD technology means many commuters watch their favorite TV shows or films on the way to work. With all these distractions, its amazing that people still remember to get off the train.6. Those who want to s
15、ave time to reach where they go can download _ to their iPhones.A. iShoot B. Tube Exits C. iSteam D. iPod 7. People in London do not make eye contact on the subway because _.A. they are going to work and have no time to communicate with each otherB. they love reading books and do not want to be dist

The underlined word “apps” in the fourth paragraph means _.A. computers B. programs downloaded for the iPhone C. computer companies D. fortune from London commu
17、ters9. Which word best describes the writers attitude towards commuters behaviors? A. for B. against C. neutral D. hateful10. The main idea of the passage is that _.A. London commuters are unfriendly to strangersB. Apple has earned a lot of money from selling 40,000 appsC. technology is changing how
18、 London commuters spend their traveling timeD. riding a London subway is a must when visiting LondonCEverybody is happy as his pay rises. Yet pleasure at your own can disappear if you learn that a fellow worker has been given a bigger one. Indeed, if he is known as being lazy, you might even be quit
19、e cross. Such behavior is regarded as “all too human”, with the underlying belief that other animals would not be able to have this finely developed sense of sadness. But a study by Sarah Brosnan of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, which has just been published in Nature, suggests that it is al
20、l too monkey, as well.The researchers studied the behaviors of some kind of female brown monkeys. They look smart. They are good-natured, co-operative creatures, and they share their food happily. Above all, like female human beings, they tend to pay much closer attention to the value of “goods and
21、services” than males.Such characteristics make them perfect subjects for Doctor Brosnans study. The researchers spent two years teaching their monkeys to exchange tokens (奖券) for food. Normally, the monkeys were happy enough to exchange pieces of rock for pieces of cucumber. However, when two monkey
22、s were placed in separate and connected rooms, so that each other could observe what the other is getting in return for its rock, they became quite different.In the world of monkeys，grapes are excellent goods (and much preferable to cucumbers). So when one monkey was handed a grape in exchange for h
23、er token, the second was not willing to hand hers over for a mere piece of cucumber. And if one received a grape without having to provide her token in exchange at all, the other either shook her own token at the researcher, or refused to accept the cucumber. Indeed, the mere presence of a grape in
24、the other room (without an actual monkey to eat it) was enough to bring about dissatisfaction in a female monkey. The researches suggest that these monkeys, like humans, are guided by social senses. In the wild, they are co-operative and group-living. Such co-operation is likely to be firm only when
25、 each animal feels it is not being cheated. Feelings of anger when unfairly treated, it seems, are not the nature of human beings alone. Refusing a smaller reward completely makes these feelings clear to other animals of the group. However, whether such a sense of fairness developed independently in
26、 monkeys and humans, or whether it comes from the common roots that they had 35 million years ago, is, as yet, an unanswered question. w.w.w.c.#om11. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Only monkeys and humans can have the sense of fairness in the world.B. Women wi
27、ll show more dissatisfaction than men when unfairly treated. C. In the wild, monkeys are never unhappy to share their food with each other.D. Monkeys can exchange cucumbers for grapes, for grapes are more attractive.12. The underlined statement “it is all too monkey” means that _.A. monkeys are also
28、 angry with lazy fellowsB. feeling angry at unfairness is also monkeys natureC. monkeys, like humans, tend to be envious of each otherD. no animals other than monkeys can develop such feelings13. Female monkeys of this kind are chosen for the research most probably because they are _.A. more likely
29、to pay attention to the value of what they get B. attentive to researchers instructionsC. nice in both appearance and behaviors D. more ready to help others than their male companions14 Which of the following conclusions is TRUE according to the passage?A. Human beings feelings of anger are develope
30、d from the monkeys. B. In the research, male monkeys are less likely to exchange food with others.C. Co-operation between monkeys stays firm before the realization of being cheated.D. Only monkeys and humans have the sense of fairness dating back to 35 million years ago.15. What can we infer about t
31、he monkeys in Sarahs study?A. The monkeys can be trained to develop social senses.B. They usually show their feelings openly as humans do.C. The monkeys may show their satisfaction with equal treatment.D. Co-operation among the monkeys remains effective in the wild. DForgivenessTo forgive is a virtu
32、e, but no one has ever said it is easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more
33、hopefulness, according to a recent research. _16_ Try the following steps: Calm yourself. _17_ You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love. Dont wait for an apology. Many times the person who hurt you does not inte
34、nd to apologize. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just dont see things the same way. _18_ Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you. Take the control away from your offender(冒犯者). Rethinking about you hurt gives power to the
35、person who causes you pain. Instead of focusing on your mounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you._19_ If you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love. You may want to write a letter to yourself fro
36、m your offenders point of view. Dont forget to forgive yourself. _20_ But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you dont do it. A. Why should you forgive? B. How should you start to forgive? C. Recognize the benefits of forgiveness. D. Try to see things from you offenders angle. E. For some peop
37、le, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge. F. To make your anger die away, try a simple stress-management technique. G. If you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting an awfully long time.第二部分 英语知识运用：完形填空 (每小题15分，共20小题， 满分30分)：阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上
