There are two species of camels; the Arabian camel with a single hump(驼背) from the dry desert areas of West Asia, and the Bactrian camel with
10、two humps from Central and East Asia. Camels are over 7 feet tall and weigh over 1,600 pounds. They will live up to 40 to 50 years. Most camels are domesticated(驯化) and fed by people. Camels are plant-eatersCamels are very strong animals with wide, padded feet. They have thick leathery pads on their
11、 knees and chest. Camels have nostrils(鼻孔)that can open and close, protecting them from the desert environment. Bushy eyebrows and two rows of long eyelashes protect their eyes from sand. Their mouth is extremely tough, allowing camels to eat thorny(带刺的)desert plants. Their widened feet help them mo
12、ve without sinking into the sand. Their thick coats reflect sunlight, and also protect them from the intense heat from desert sand. Their long legs help by keeping them further from the hot groundCamels can go without food and water for 3 to 4 days. They do not store water in their humps as is commo
13、nly believedThe humps are actually a container of fat. Camels are incredibly well-adapted to their environment. When conditions heat up, camels can increase their own body temperature, which prevents sweating and therefore water loss. They may not sweat at all during the dayCamels are sometimes call

17、ply by uploading photos of their dishes to social networks. I always thought peoples taking pictures of their food was kind of silly, but at this new pop-up restaurant in the UK, Id probably do it too. The Picture House is the worlds first pay-by-photo restaurantyou order, click a photo of the food,
18、 share on Instagram and eat for free!The restaurant belongs to frozen food giant (巨人) Birds Eye, who came up with the idea to cash in on peoples addiction to photographing food and sharing the pictures online. They conducted a survey and found that more than half of the British population regularly
19、took pictures of their meals. So they realized it was a better way to advertise their new dining range.Z-x-x-k.ComThe pop-up diner was open in Soho, London for three days in May, and is now moving to other major UK cities. They serve two-course meals that customers dont have to pay for, if they phot
20、o and Instagram it.The restaurant is a part of Birds Eyes Food for Life campaign, a new marketing project that aims at changing the way people look at frozen food. Taking photos of food enables people to show off and to share their mealtime momentsfrom the everyday to the special, said marketing dir
21、ector Margaret Jobling.The reaction to The Picture House has been great so far. And the pay-by-picture concept has proven to be an effective way. Alternative payment methods are actually gaining popularity among a lot of businesses. Last year, in a cafe in Germany customers paid by how much time the

23、zen foodCattract more customersDreward the regular customers27Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage?ANo Need to Pay.BThe Pop-up Diner.CFood for Life.DPay by Picture.C We all know what a brain is. A doctor will tell you that the brain is the organ of the body in the head.
24、 It controls our bodys functions, movements, emotions and thoughts. But a brain can mean so much more.A brain can also simply be a smart person. If a person is called brainy, she is smart and intelligent. If a family has many children but one of them is super smart, you could say “Shes the brains in
25、 the family.” And if you are the brains behind something, you are responsible for developing or organizing it. For example, Bill Gates is the brains behind Microsoft.Brain trust is a group of experts who give advice. Word experts say the phrase “brain trust” became popular when Franklin D. Roosevelt
26、 first ran for president in 1932. Several professors gave him advice on social and political issues facing the U.S. These professors were called his “brain trust.”These ways we use the word “brain” all make sense. But other ways we use the word are not so easy to understand. For example, to understa
27、nd the next brain expression, you first need to know the word “drain”. As a verb, to drain means to remove something by letting it flow away. So a brain drain may sound like a disease where the brain flows out the ears. But, a brain drain is when a countrys most educated people leave their countries
28、 to live in another. The brains are, sort of, draining out of the country.However, if people are responsible for a great idea, you could say they brainstormed it. Here, brainstorm is not an act of weather. It is a process of thinking creatively about a complex topic. For example, business leaders ma
29、y use brainstorming to create new products, and government leaders may brainstorm to solve problems.If people are brainwashed, it does not mean their brains are nice and clean. To brainwash means to make someone accept new beliefs by using repeated pressure in a forceful or tricky way. Keep in mind
30、that brainwash is never used in a positive way.28Why did Roosevelt successfully win the election according to the passage?ABecause word experts were popular. BBecause he got his brain trust.CBecause he was smart at giving advice. DBecause he was the brains behind Americans.29According to the text, i

32、n of the word “brain”.BThe word “brain” and its stories.CWhat is the brain.DThe difference between “brain trust” and “brainwash”. DA Japanese telecom company has released a robot that it says has emotions. But rather than run in fear from it, weve welcomed it into our homes: Pepper, the “emotional r
33、obot,” sold out within a minute of going on sale.Created by Aldebaran Robotics and Japanese mobile giant SoftBank, Pepper went on sale to the general public in Japan June 20. It is “the first humanoid(类人的) robot designed to live with humans,” Aldebaran says on its website. Pepper costs about 1,600.
34、And like all good mobile products, theres a 120 per month data fee, as well as an 80 per month damage insurance fee. According to a news release, Pepper can pick up on human emotions and create his own using a “multi-layer neural(神经的) network.” Peppers touch sensors and cameras are said to influence
35、 its mood, which is displayed on the tablet-sized screen on its chest.Pepper will sigh when unhappy, and can go around your house recording your familys daily activity. Aldebaran says Pepper can feel “joy, surprise, anger, doubt and sadness,” but it doesnt say how strongly it can feel these emotions
36、. What happens when Pepper is having a bad day? Will it, like many humans, become uncooperative? Will it ask for some time alone?What happens if it figures out that its purpose in life is just to engage in small talk? Thankfully, Pepper is only about four feet tall, with roller balls instead of legs
37、, so if it is angry with and even turns on its owners, youll be safe if you can make it upstairs.Aldebaran says in reality, theyre probably quite a few decades away from artificial intelligence that could generate real emotions. Aldebaran wasnt immediately available for comment on when Pepper will b
38、e available outside of Japan, but additional sales are scheduled for July after the first 1,000 units sell out. SoftBank currently uses the robots in its stores as greeters, and it plans to offer Pepper to other stores in the future. Hopefully “boredom” is not an emotion Pepper can feel.32According
39、to the author, Pepper _.Ais very popular among customersBcan not only run but also show fearCis going to be sold all over the worldDcan deal with many kinds of houseworkZ-X-X-K33How much do you need to pay for Peppers data and damage insurance fee each year? A80 dollars.B120 dollars.C1,440 dollars.D

42、he risk and the reward, the risk seems worth taking. 36 Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us. Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work.The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans. Risk-takers were better at
43、hunting, fighting, or exploring. 37 As the quality of Risk-taking was passed from on generation to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.So why arent we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much risk-taking could get one killed.
44、A few daring survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave types. As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it. 38 No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to
45、take risks increases during your teenage years. 39 To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well. 40 For the risk-seekers, a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes a
46、ctive, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, well continue to hit the mountains, the waves or the shallow end of the pool.AIt all depends on your character.BThose are the risks you should jump to take.CB
47、eing better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.DThus, these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest.EThis is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.FHowever, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and reward
