When horses raise their noses and open their nostrils (鼻孔) , their nervous system allows them to sense smells we can’t sense. This might explain why they refuse dirty water and carefully move around meadows, eating only the tastiest grasses, experts say. ◆Whale says thanks In 2011, a whale expert spotted a humpback whale trapped in a fishing net and spent an hour freeing it. Afterward, in an hour-long display of thanks, the whale swam near their boat and leaped into the air about 40 times. ◆Pandas like to be naughty Is there anything more lovely than a baby panda, except maybe a human baby? In fact, baby pandas sometimes behave like human babies. They sleep in the same positions and value their thumbs. Pandas are shy by nature for its shy behaviors such as covering its face with a paw of ducking its head when confronted by a stranger. ◆A cat honors its owner Paper towels, and a plastic cup are just a few of the gifts that Toldo, a devoted three-year-old gray-and-white cat, has placed on his former owner Iozzelli Renzo’s grave every day since the man died in September 2011. Renzo adopted Toldo from a shelter when the cat was three months old, and the two formed an inseparable bond. After Renzo passed away, Toldo followed the coffin to the cemetery, and now "stands guard" at the grave for hours at a time. 21. What can horses do to pick delicious grasses? A. Feel them. B. Taste them. C. Smell them. D. Observe them. 22. What do the whale and the cat have in common according to the passage? A. They are clever. B. They have a grateful heart. C. They are active and lovely. D. They have a good sense of smell. 23. Which of the following acts like a human baby according to the passage? A. The whale. B. The cat. C. The horse. D. The panda. B Paris is the city of dreams. If you plan to head to Paris for a study period, then perhaps a little reality check is in order. But my experience was a romantic one. I paved my path to Paris through an exchange program. On arrival in Paris, I was constantly reminded of the official processes I had to complete — forms to be filled in, meetings to attend, the list seemed endless. Then the real work began. Once classes were underway, I found myself volunteering to do oral presentations and assignments first, rather than last. This method proved to be very helpful. Once I had finished class for the week, I had an ever-increasing list of museums to visit, neighborhoods to explore, and cafés to sit in. Read books about Paris. Talk to locals and other foreigners living there. But the one thing that reading a book or talking to someone cannot do is to provide you with the experience of wandering Paris on foot. The people watching, the sounds of the city, the colors as the seasons change, they all add to the ecstasy that I experience in Paris as an exchange student. After spending five months wandering through the charming neighborhoods, I fell in love with the atmosphere that came out from every open door, and with every spoken word. There is something comforting about walking to the market each Sunday to enjoy the beautiful display of fruits, vegetables and dairy products. There is warmth in saying bonjour to the passers-by. On my last day in Paris, I confidently said, “Bonjour Monsieur,” as I passed the little store down the street. I guess the best part about going on exchange in Paris is falling in love with the city in your own way. And I know mine is unique and special to me, my own little pieces of Paris. 24. What does the underlined word "ecstasy" in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Courage. B. Imagination. C.Happiness. D. Reputation. 25. What does the passage mainly tell us? A. An exchange student’s life. B. Charming neighborhoods. C. An exchange program. D. A traveling experience. 26. Beyond reading books, which experience would the author treasure most? A. Enjoying coffee in his spare time. B. Greeting people in French in the street. C. Buying vegetables in the market. D. Hanging around in Paris. 27. According to the passage, what left the author the deepest impression? A. The friendly people he met in Paris. B. The special culture he experienced in the city. C. The academic achievement he made in his study. D. The presentations and assignments he did in class. C For many, music is as important to the human experience as eating and breathing. We hear music everywhere—at home, the gym, parties and stores. But what kind of music do we prefer to listen to, and when and why do our musical preferences change? The relationship between the change of seasons and musical preferences was the focus of a study led by psychologist Terry Pettijohn. He and his team based their research on a previous study that examined the relationship between popular music preferences and the Environmental Security Hypothesis(假设). The results showed that over time, when social and financial conditions were more risky, the songs of the year that were slower, longer, more comforting and serious were most popular. And during periods in which social and financial conditions were generally stable, the result was opposite. Building on these findings, Pettijohn and his team wondered if the Hypothesis could also be applied to the change of seasons. For college students, the participants in this study, autumn begins at the start of the school year. Gone are the carefree days of summer, when school is out. Winter means colder temperatures, shorter days, and, in many places in the country, snow. Spring, however, is a different story. It represents a fresh start and when clocks spring forward, we gain an extra hour of daylight. As students walk into summer, they’re absorbed in the sunshine and social activities— and enjoy a break from school. But do changing seasonal conditions influence musical preferences? To answer this question, the researchers designed two studies. What did they find? Both groups of college students favored more serious music during the seasons of fall and winter, and more active and energetic music during the spring and summer seasons. And these findings, Pettijohn argues, have practical significances. 28. The purpose of the question raised in Paragraph 1 is to ________. A. present a different opinion on music B. prove where to listen to music matters C. stress the importance of music to humans D. introduce the topic on musical preferences 29. What influences a person’s choice of music types according to the previous study? A. Whether one has enough free time. B. Whether one lives in a stable situation. C. Whether one is exposed to sunlight. D. Whether one chooses to change his life. 30. What does Paragraph 3 imply? A. Students aren’t fond of school in any season. B. Spring has a special meaning to people. C. The Hypothesis disagrees with Pettijohn’s studies. D. The length of summer time is longer than that of winter time. 31. How does Pettijohn feel about the findings of his studies? A. It’s unexpected. B. It’s humorous. C. It’s discouraging. D. It’s significant. D As anyone who freelances (做自由职业) knows, there are lots of advantages of working at home alone. But there are drawbacks too, like the potential loneliness. No wonder co-working spaces are becoming so popular, they permit self-employed individuals to feel like they are part of all office environment, while making them get some work done too. But renting a co-working space does cost money. Now a Swedish project is aiming to change that by turning people’s under-used homes into temporary co-working spaces, available to freelancers for free. Hoffice was started by freelancers Christofer Gradin Franzen and Johline Zandra about a year ago in Stockholm when they invited a few people into their home office to work together. It was a great success, and the project has since spread to a number of cities in Europe, North and South America, Australia, India and Japan. Anyone can sign up and offer their home space as a free co-working space, or go find a Hoffice near them. On a Hoffice day, everyone arrives and starts work at a certain hour. After 45 minutes,everyone gets up to take a break, stretch, do qigong or yoga for 10 to 15 minutes. Afterwards,people can gather around again, and re-state their intentions and goals for the rest of the work day, as a way to motivate each other. Meals can be eaten together at a certain hour, potluck-style (家常饭) or by bringing their own lunch. This process creates an encouraging and supportive work environment. As some freelancers describe, “By working at Hoffice, we give ourselves and each other the gift to spend our days in a social working environment, where we are extremely productive without ignoring our other human needs. We also make sure to give ourselves and each other what we need to feel calm, happy, inspired and creative during the working day.” So Hoffice is not just about sharing space; it’s also about a free exchange of ideas. And perhaps the best thing is that Hoffices are free to use. 32. Hoffice was started to________. A. change people’s attitude to work B. encourage people to be more social C. provide a co-working space for free D. improve people’s working conditions 33.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3? A. How a Hoffice day works. B. How people respond to Hoffice. C. What people share at Hoffice. D. What Hoffice means to people. 34.Some freelancers’ descriptions of Hoffice suggest that they________. A. work longer than before B. benefit a lot from the working style C. expect more people to join them D. can’t be separated from each other 35.What do we know about Hoffice according to the text? A. It is suitable for people from all walks of life. B. It has created many new job opportunities. C. It has been around for quite a few years. D. It is becoming increasingly popular. 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。 Have you ever wondered how the trainers at Sea World get the 19,000-pound whale to jump 22 feet out of water and perform tricks? They get that whale to go over a rope farther out of the water than most of us can imagine. 36 . So how do the trainers at Sea World do it? The first thing they do is reinforce(强化) the behavior that they want repeated --- in this case, to get the whale to go over the rope. 37 , in a position where the whale can’t help but do what’s expected of it. Every time the whale goes over the rope, it’s given positive reinforcement and gets fed with fish. But what happened when the whale goes under the rope? Nothing — no criticism, no warning and no feedback. 38 . Positive reinforcement is the key of that simple principle that produces such splendid results. And as the whale begins to go over the rope more often than under, the trainers begin to raise the rope. It must be raised slowly enough so that the whale doesn’t starve. 39 . Make a big deal out of the good and little stuff that we want consistently. Secondly, under-criticize. People know they need help when they mess up. 40 , people will not forget the event and usually will not repeat it. So we need to set up the circumstances so that people can’t fail. Over-celebrate, under-criticize…and know how far to raise the rope. A. This is a great challenge B. And the whale stays right where it is C. If we figure out a way to motivate the whale D. They start with the rope below the surface of the water E. If we under-criticize, punish and discipline less than expected F. Whales are taught that their negative behavior won’t be acknowledged G. The simple lesson to be learned from the whale trainers is to over-celebrate 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节,满分45分) 第一节 完形填空(共20小题; 每小题1.5分, 满分30分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Growing up in the 1960s, I was taught from an early age to send a handwritten thank-you note expressing 41 for kindness.
