"or" I really don't feel comfortable talking about this．"Don't say "I don't know"‎ Practice being honest on the simple things．Abraham Lincoln became famous for going to great lengths to return a few cents that did not belong to him，hence the nickname" Honest Abe"．By applying honesty to the little things，you will get in the habit of being honest in general．‎ ‎5．What's the author's attitude towards becoming honest?‎ A．Optimistic．B．Pessimistic．C．Skeptical．D．Unconcerned．‎ ‎6．What does the underlined word “reinforce” in paragraph 1 mean?‎ A．show B．strengthen C．express D．weak ‎7．What's the author's main purpose of writing the text?‎ A．To encourage people to be honest．‎ B．To arouse readers 'interest in being famous．‎ C．To call on people to learn from Abraham Lincoln．‎ D．To advice us to say sorry to the person we lied to．‎ ‎8．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?‎ A．Challenge Yourself B．No Need to Lie to Others C．Honesty is the Best Policy D．Little Things Can Make a BigDifference．‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ C A great invention by an 18-year-old high school student grew out of a simple problem most teenagers meet with.‎ ‎“I'm a teenager and I have a cell phone and my cell phone battery always dies，so I was really looking for a way to improve energy storage,” Eesha Khare said on Tuesday. “That's how I came across the super capacitor.”‎ The teenager who came from California, and graduated from high school last week，won a $50，000 prize on May 17，2013 at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair for creating a device that can store enough energy to charge a cell phone in 20 to 30 seconds.‎ ‎“It charges very quickly and can store a lot of energy,” Khare said. “The cool thing is that it's a lot thinner than one strand of hair.”‎ Khare hasn't used her invention to recharge a cell phone yet，but she used it to power a light-emitting diode (LED) in order to show its capability(容量). If used on cell phones, the supercharger would slide on to the phone's battery to juice it up in a matter of seconds. The technology isn't available to consumers yet，and it could be years until it is.‎ At an Intel event in Phoenix，Khare won the Intel Foundation Young Scientist Award，taking second place overall in the world's largest high school science research competition. She beat out more than 1, 600 finalists from 70 countries. She said that she has been approached by several companies to continue her research, but she is now focused on attending Harvard‎ ‎University in autumn.‎ ‎“Right now, just my education，but hopefully we'll see what happens in the future,” she said about her plans. “I have a lot of interests，so we'll see what I do in the future.”‎ ‎9. The passage starts with ________．‎ A．what problem most teenagers meet with in life B．how Khare helped others with their problems C．why Khare decided to make the invention D．how teenagers make use of their cell phones ‎10. According to the passage, Khare ________．‎ A．was most probably born in 1995‎ B．will graduate from high school C．will donate much of her prize D．is the first teenager to win such a big prize ‎11. The super capacitor ________．‎ A．is as thin as a hair B．can produce enough energy soon C．has been popular on the market D．has not been put in use in daily life D Climate change will force exhausted birds migrating to Europe from Africa to travel further, with possibly disastrous consequences, according to a study.‎ The annual voyage of some species, which fly north in search of food and suitable habitats, could increase by as much as 400 kilometers (250 miles), the research found. “Marathon migrations for some birds are set to become even longer,” said Stephen Willis, a professor at Durham University in Britain and the main architect of the study. “This is bad news for birds like the White throat, a common farmland bird. The added distance is a considerable threat. As temperatures rise and habitats change, birds will face their biggest challenge since the Pleistocene era (更新世), which ended 11,000 years ago,” he said in a statement.‎ Some 500 million birds migrate each year from Africa, some weighing as little as nine grams (three-tenths of an ounce). To complete a voyage that can be thousands of kilometers long, birds have to fatten themselves up to twice their normal weight. Some even shrink their internal organs (收缩内脏) to become more fuel efficient, so any additional distance may be dangerous.‎ The study finds that from 2007 to 2010, nine out of 17 species examined are going to face longer migrations, particularly birds that cross the Sahara‎ ‎Desert. Some birds travel the Sahara and the Mediterranean Sea in a one go, while others have a break in northern Africa before crossing. Many fly at night, when temperatures are cooler.‎ A few — such as the Blackcap — have started to adapt by spending winters in Britain, but such behavior remains exceptional, the study said. The study forecasts that the migration distance of the Orphean Warbler will jump from 2,700 kilometers (1,700 miles) to between 3,050 and ‎ 3,350 kilometers (1,900 and 2,100 miles), with even longer increases for the Subalpine and Barred Warblers.‎ ‎12. What does traveling extra distance mean for some migrating birds?‎ A. Better living conditions. B. Better physical health.‎ ‎ C. Stronger ability to fly. D. Bigger threat to life.‎ ‎13. To complete the marathon migrations, some birds have to do the following except ______.‎ A. have a break in the Sahara B. put on more weight C. reduce the size of internal organs D. fly at night to avoid the heat ‎14. What can we infer from the text?‎ A. Birds have to migrate from Africa to Europe in winter.‎ B. Global warming is bad for all birds worldwide.‎ C. Birds that are of small size don’t need to migrate.‎ D. Some birds have to migrate unless they adapt to climate change.‎ ‎15. What’s the best title of the text?‎ A. Climate change leads to disastrous consequence B. The annual voyage of some species C. How birds migrate for longer distances D. Climate change pushes birds to migrate farther ‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从所给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。‎ ‎　16 One of the best things you can possibly do is to start you own club.
