【題目】Dog’s Best Friend

Jarrett Little was road testing his mountain bike outside of Columbus, Georgia, when his riding partner, Chris Dixon, stopped suddenly. Something nearby moving among the trees had caught her attention. It turned out to be a sandy-colored five-month-old dog.

“He was really thin, and had a broken leg,” Little told CBS News. The cyclists fed the friendly dog and shared their water. They also quickly realized that the dog was coming with them, although they had no idea how. They were more than seven miles from downtown and riding bikes. “We couldn’t leave him,” Little said. “Out there next to the Oxbow Meadows, he was going to end up as alligator (短吻鱷) food.”

Little, a 31-year-old business owner, had an idea. He carefully picked up his new friend and put the 38-pound dog’s back legs into the pockets of his cycling shirt. Then he placed the dog’s front legs over his shoulders.

“He was hurt, so he wasn’t trying to fight,” Little says. “He was also happy that we were there, touching him, and hadn’t taken off on him.”

Their 30-minute ride into town ended at a bike store, where they got more water and food for the dog. “That was when Andrea Shaw, a company worker, happened by. The dog went straight to her, smelling and “l(fā)oving on her,” says Dixon. Shaw was touched and, after learning what had happened, decided to keep the dog.

Shaw called him Columbo after the town where they’d met and planned an operation on his leg. Today, Columbo is living the high life on a farm with a horse and a six-year-old boy to keep him company. As Dixon said, “He is really the luckiest dog alive.”

A.She noticed something moving among the trees.

B.She had cycled seven miles and wanted to rest.

C.She met some other riding partners by chance.

D.She wanted to share some water with Little.

2What can we learn about the dog?

【題目】 Imagine having an ear made out of an apple. It seems like a crazy idea from a horror movie. But it could happen in the near future.

Canadian biophysicist, Andrew Pelling used an apple to grow a human ear. He thinks fruit and vegetables can be used to cheaply repair human body parts in the future.

Scientists have been trying to grow organs( 器官) in labs to replace our old ones. But it is a hard Job. For example, liver cells( 肝細(xì)胞)can grow in a lab, but the cells still need things like blood vessels( 血管) to actually work. These things have to grow inside a scaffold(支架) In the past, scientists have used manmade materials, animal parts and even dead people as scaffolds. But that has proved to be difficult and expensive.

Pelling and his team, however, found the apple to be a cheap and easy to use scaffold.

They first out an apple into the shape of an ear. Then they used a special way to take out the apple’s cells and make it a scaffold. The team then added human cells to the apple and watched it grow

You can implant these scaffolds into the body, and the body will send in cells and a blood supply and actually keep these things alive, “Pelling said during a Ted Talk speech.

The team put the apple scaffold inside a living mouse and the mouse’s cells slowly took over the pieces of apple.

Now Pelling is thinking of other fruit, plants or vegetables to use,

He says that the shape of flower petals could be perfect for repairing skin. And asparagus(蘆葦) could fix a broken spine(脊柱).

Now, Pelling and his team are trying hard to put these crazy ideas into reality

1Pelling’s idea of manmade ear seems crazy because he used ________ as scaffolds.

A.animal partsB.dead people

C.manmade materialsD.ordinary apples

2The underlined word “implant” in Paragraph 7 probably means ________.

A.pickB.putC.produceD.protect

3Which is the right order of making an ear out of an apple according to the passage

a. Put the apple scaffold inside a mouse.

b. Add human cells to the apple scaffold.

c. Cut an apple into the shape of an ear.

d. Make the apple ear a scaffold.

e. Take out the apple’s cells in a special way.

A.abcdeB.bedaeC.cedbaD.cdaeb

4From the last three paragraphs, we can infer that Pelling will experiment with other fruit, plants or vegetables ________.

A.to make human earsB.to repair burnt skin

C.to fix a broken spineD.to make human body parts

【題目】 For Miller, an 80-year-old man, it’s a chance of a lifetime. Miller is a part of a group of around 60 Germans who are on a bus journey along the ancient Silk Road.

About this journey, he says: “I have been deeply interested in the Silk Road since I was a child. But now I finally have a chance to experience it.”

The two-month bus journey will take the group through Germany, Russia and other 4 European countries. They will then enter China from the country’s western part. It will be an unforgettable memory for them.

Nearly half of the 13,000-kilometre trip will be inside China. From Xinjiang in the west to Shanghai in the east, the German visitors will see more than 20 Chinese cities. “We have managed the trip of the Silk Road for around 10 years. An increasing number of people, not only from German-speaking countries, have been joining us,” says Liu Guoqiang from China Tours.

Almost 26 million foreigners travelled to China in 2015, and about 5 million of them were from Europe. Beijing, Xi’an, Shanghai and the Yangtze River are traditional Chinese travel destinations for European tourists. Speaking of where he wants to go, Miller says: “Compared with modern cities, the culture in western China attracts me more.”

As Shi Xiang, head of China Tours says “Being a new brand to attract foreign visitors, the Silk Road is good for people to know more about China, especially the north-western part of the country.”

A.By plane.B.By bus.C.On foot.D.By train.

How many of you feel that you really should be working harder? At the same time, how many of you wish you had more time to have fun and enjoy yourself? So how can you solve this paradox (悖論)?

1Sometimes a tight schedule can leave you feeling burnt out. On the other hand, spending most of your time on leisure (休閑) often means you don’t end up getting anything done. So how can you achieve a balance between work and leisure?

The first step is to improve the quality of the activities you currently do for both work and leisure.

2By doing this, you can get a lot more out of the activities using less time. Focusing on what is really important will allow you to put your time into things that are truly productive or enjoyable (or both).

3Having the time to do things simply isn’t enough ,Certain tasks require a lot of your focus and energy. By trying to increase your energy levels, through proper diet and exercise, it is easier to focus on these tasks rather than waste time.The third step is to separate your work from leisure time.

4When you have a project that demands much of your time, you have to spend time to continue working. In this case you’ll feel burnt out. It’s better to guarantee yourself certain time to leisure and relax yourself.

5But it is both nice and necessary for your productivity and enjoyment. Understanding that is most important. If you do,it is a piece of cake to deal with both.

A. Hopefully, you can now strike a balance between work and leisure.

B.Separate your work from leisure time.

C.Solving this problem can be difficult for you.

D.Solving energy problem is also necessary.

E.Improve the quality of the activities your recently do for both work and leisure.

F.Achieving the balance between work and leisure can be difficult.

【題目】Choose the best answer (根據(jù)以下內(nèi)容,選擇最恰當(dāng)?shù)拇鸢福?/span>

In America, history is still a required subject at lower levels and students still choose to study it at higher levels. However, there is an ongoing discussion about whether schools should continue to teach History or whether they should spend the money on other subject. This article will deal with the arguments against and in favour of teaching History in school, concluding that we should teach History.

Many of my classmate suggest that History is one of the less interesting school subjects and that governments should spend the time and money on subjects that are more useful. They argue that Maths and English are more important so we can have a society with a good basic education. Others say that we should spend the money on teaching Science, as this can move a country forward and benefit the economy.

Yet, there are a number of reasons why it is a good idea to teach History. Teaching history is important because students should be able to understand the background to present situations in the news. This will create better-informed citizens. Another reason is that it helps pupils to understand their culture and background, which also helps them to understand the society they live in. In addition to learning about the past, History can help students to think for themselves. Finally, it also improves pupils’ reading and writing skills, which can help them become better students.

In conclusion, although there are clear arguments on both sides, it seems to me that we should teach children about the past because the value of the subject goes beyond the classroom. I would say that the teaching of History helps to create generations of well-educated and knowledgeable individuals.

1The writer is probably ________.

A.parentsB.journalist.C.teacher.D.students.

A.we should teach History or notB.we should teach history at higher levels.

A.focusing on math and EnglishB.teaching History at lower levels.

C.offering more required subjectsD.teaching science instead of History

4The underlined word ‘this’ refers to ‘________’.

A.educationB.scienceC.moneyD.society

5Why do students need to learn about culture?

A.It teaches them to think of themselves.B.It helps them to become better students.

C.It helps them to understand the society.D.It teaches them to respect each other.

6Which of the following would the writer agree with.?

A.Government spending on History education should be reduced.

B.The benefits of History education are useful in further study.

C.Teaching History brings many economic benefits to a country
