10．If you have to be ugly，you might as well be the best at it．
A 10-year old mixed breed dog named"Quasi Modo"was awarded first place at the World's Ugliest Dog competition in June，2015．
Quasi，whose short spine makes her like a hyena，"epitomized（代表；體現(xiàn)）excellence in ugliness，"Chief Judge Brian Sobel said．The dog won $1，500 for her owner．
This wasn't Quasi's first win．Last year，the spunky（生氣勃勃）Florida pup won second place，losing out to small，wild-eyed dog named Peanut．
Quasi's bio（簡(jiǎn)歷）says that despite the multiple birth drawback that contributes to her odd appearanc e，she is a happy dog who loves to run and play．She also works as an"ambassador for teaching people about acceptance and tolerance for things that are different"，according to the bio．
Veterinarian Virginia Sayre and her husband，Mike Carroll，adopted Quasi from Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control about nine years ago．
The lovable dog"gets along well with everybody"，but sometimes other people are alarmed by her appearance，Sayre told The Palm Beach Post．
"I've had grown men jump on top of a truck to get away from her．They don't know what to make of her．"Sayre said．
"Though the press release initially identified Quasi as male，the dog is female．"Andrian Guthrie，who worked at Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control when Quasi lived there，told the Huffington Post in an email．
Event spokeswoman Karen Spencer confirmed that the press release made an error and that the dog is female．
If you can't get enough of Quasi，you can keep up with her adventures on her Facebook page．

21．How old is Quasi when Sayre and her husband adopted her？A
A．About 1 year old  
B．About 9 years old   
C．Newly born    
D．Not mentioned
22．What's the meaning of the underlined word"initially"？C
A．mentally  　　
B．softly   
C．originally  
D．essentially
23．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？D
A．Quasi has won twice at the World's Ugliest Dog competition．
B．Quasi looks ugly because she was once badly hurt by a truck．
C．Sayre adopted Quasi because she knew the dog would bring her money in future．
D．The press release once reported Quasi as make but admitted the mistake later．

分析 本文主要講述了世界上最丑的狗以及它的可愛一面．

解答 21．A 考查細(xì)節(jié)理解  根據(jù)第二段開頭A 10-year old mixed breed dog named"Quasi Modo提到Quasi 現(xiàn)在的年齡為10 years old．第六段提到Mike Carroll，adopted Quasi from Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control about nine years ago．Sayre夫婦收養(yǎng)Quasi 的時(shí)間為大約為9年前．由此計(jì)算可知Quasi 當(dāng)時(shí)大約1歲．故選A
22．C 詞義猜測(cè)題．根據(jù)文中內(nèi)容，Though the press release initially identified Quasi as male，the dog is female盡管出版社起初以為Quasi是公狗，但實(shí)際上是母狗．結(jié)合選項(xiàng)，故選C
23．D 考查推理判斷  根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段和第三段可知，Though the press release initially identified Quasi as male，the dog is female…Event spokeswoman Karen Spencer confirmed that the press release made an error and that the dog is female．新聞報(bào)道起初以為Quasi是公狗，但實(shí)際上是母狗．發(fā)言人Karen Spencer也承認(rèn)了這個(gè)錯(cuò)誤．D項(xiàng)正確．其余三項(xiàng)均與文中所述不符．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文是一個(gè)人物故事類閱讀，題目涉及多道細(xì)節(jié)理解題，做題時(shí)結(jié)合原文和題目有針對(duì)性的找出相關(guān)語(yǔ)句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析，結(jié)合選項(xiàng)選出正確答案．推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案，切忌胡亂猜測(cè)，一定要做到有理有據(jù)．

5．Traditional Chinese wedding
Traditional Chinese wedding customs have been around for thousands of years．They may vary from place to place and time to time，but have been holding an important position in the lives of Chinese people，（61）causing（cause） a far-reaching impact on the way the Chinese lead their lives．The traditional Chinese marriage usually （62）involves（involve） some necessary procedures，such as match-making，engagement，meeting the bride，and three bows．（63）In addition，a typical Chinese wedding nowadays goes like this：when a new couple is engaged，（64）what follows is a （65）choice（choose） of the date of their marriage．
Most people would favor a bank holiday or special Chinese festival for their relatives and friends （66）to attend（attend） the wedding．However，quite a few others，especially （67）those in the countryside，would fix a lucky date so that their marriage would have"Double Happiness"．The wedding ceremony is usually hosted （68）warmly（warm），and the wedding ceremony very often ends with （69）a unique banquet．Toasts are made to wish the new couple long life，everlasting love and happiness，early birth of a （70）healthy（health） baby and so on．

2．In China，as in many countries，the north-south divide runs deep．People from the north are seen as hale and hearty，while southerners are often portrayed as cunning，cultured traders．Northerners are taller than southerners．The north eats noodles，while the south eats rice-and according to new research，when it comes to personality，that difference has meant everything．
A study published Friday by a group of psychologists in the journal Science finds that China's noodle-slurping northerners are more independent，show more"analytic thought"and divorce more frequently．By contrast，the authors write，rice-eating southerners show more qualities traditionally associated with East Asian culture，including more"holistic thought"and lower divorce rates．
The reason？Cultivating rice，the authors say，is a lot harder．Picture a rice paddy，its delicate seedlings tucked in a bed of water．They require careful tending and many hours of labor-by some estimates，twice as much as wheat-as well as reliance on irrigation systems that require neighborly cooperation．As the authors write，for southerners growing rice，"strict self-reliance might have meant starvation"．
Growing wheat，by contrast，the north's staple grain，is much simpler．One Chinese farming guide from the 1600s quoted in the study advised aspiring farmers that"if one is short of labor power，it is best to grow wheat．"
To produce their findings，the authors evaluated the attitudes of 1，162Han Chinese students in Beijing and Liaoning in the north and in Fujian，Guangdong，Yunnan and Sichuan in the south．To control for other factors that distinguish the north and south-such as climate，dialect and contact with herding cultures-the authors also analyzed differences between various neighboring counties in five central provinces along China's rice-wheat border．
According to the authors，the influence of rice cultivation can help explain East Asia's"strangely persistent interdependence"．For example，they say South Korea and Japan have remained less individualistic than Western countries，even as they've grown wealthier．
The authors aren't alone in observing the influence various crops have on shaping culture．Malcolm Gladwell in his 2008book Outliers also drew connections between a hard-working ethic （measured by a willingness to fill out long，boring questionnaires） and a historical tradition of rice cultivation in places such as South Korea and Japan，given that the farming of such crops is arguably an equally boring chore．
Title：How China's North-South Divide Has Influence on （71）Shaping Personality．
（72）Difference（s）/Distinction（s）in personality●China's northerners （73）feed（1ive）on noodles，and they are thought of as hale，hearty and taller with more （74）independenceand"analytic thought"as well as higher divorce rates
●On the contrary，the southerners prefer eating rice and have more"holistic thought"and lower divorce rates
Reasons●Planting rice needs twice more （75）1aborthan planting wheat
●Cultivating rice relies on irrigation system that requires neighbors to （76）cooperatewell
●If you are over independent，you might （77）starvein the south
●If you are （78）1acking（weak）in labor power，it is best to grow wheat in the north
The Research●The attitudes of 1，162 Han Chinese students were evaluated
●Other unrelated factors like climate，dialect and herding cultures were carefully （79）controlled
●The result shows the influence of rice cultivation can result in more cooperation and explain East Asia's"strangely persistent interdependence"
Another（80）similar（related，relevant）observationMalcolm Gladwell also found the influence crops have on culture in his 2008 book Outliers

2．Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships．For example，in American culture the smile is in general an expression of pleasure．Yet it also has other uses．A woman's smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child．A smile may show love or politeness．It can also hide true feelings．we often causes confusion （困惑） across cultures．For example，many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper．Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places （although this is less common in big cities）．Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places； frequently used to cover painful feelings，Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile．
Our faces show emotions （情感），but we should not attempt to"read"people from another culture as we would"read"someone from our own culture．The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions．Rather，there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressiveness permitted．For example，in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do．When with friends，Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly．
It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States．People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others．The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different．If we judge according to our own cultural habits，we may make the mistake of"reading"the other person incorrectly．

28．What does the smile usually mean in the U．S．？B
A．Love．
B．Joy．
C．Politeness．
D．Thankfulness
29．The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that a smile canC．
A．show friendliness to strangers   
B．be used in the wrong places
C．be used to hide true feelings     
D．show personal habits
30．What should we do before attempting to"read"people？D
A．Learn about their relations with others．
B．Figure out what they will do next．
C．Find out about their past experience．
D．Understand their cultural backgrounds．
31．What would be the best title for the text？D
A．Cultural Differences          
B．Smiles and Relationships

19．The trouble of having to charge（充電）your smartphone for hours a day could become a thing of the past．
British scientists have created a material that replaces the screen glass for phones，i-pad and smartwatches，but uses no power----meaning they could be charged weekly．The discovery is important because more than 90percent of a device's battery power illuminates（照明）the screen．
Technology firms have focused on improving battery life．But the British experts say dealing with the main power-using may give better results．Oxford University engineer Dr Peiman Hosseini，who invented the material，told the Sunday Telegraph："You have to charge smartwatches every night．But if you had smart glass，you could recharge it just once a week．"
The invention uses electrical pulses to create displays that require no power and can be viewed even in direct sunlight．Dr Hosseini's company，Bodle Technologies，hopes to have a prototype（樣機(jī)）in a year．
Battery life is seen as a major obstruction for modern computing and technology．While the power of technology and lifestyle gadgets（小器件）has improved rapidly in recent years，batteries have not kept pace．The success of smart watches，including Apple's version，is thought to depend on solving this problem because few users are willing to charge a watch every day．
Gadget firms are also desperate to solve the problem．
Apple，for example，is investigating using fuel cells to power its phones and laptops，and this year had gained a patent for a system that it claimed could power its gadget for weeks．
In 2012US energy secretary Steven Chu called for a big push to improve batteries，challenging scientists to produce a battery with five times the capacity within five years．
Aside from mobile gadgets，improving battery technology is seen as being key to the success of electric cars，which currently have a limited journey before they must stop to be recharged．

32．Who invented the new material？B
A．Energy secretary．
B．Oxford University engineer．
C．Technology firms．
D．Apple Corps．
33．What can we know about the invention？C
A．It has gained a patent．
B．It is popular with customers．
C．It is a kind of glass．
D．It uses power to charge the phones．
34．The author uses the example of Apple in para7 to showD．
A．what the key to success is
B．why Apple products are popular
C．how often batteries must be recharged
D．how gadget firms are making efforts to improve batteries
35．What can be inferred from the passage？B
A.90% of batteries will be replaced with smart glass．
B．It is likely that mobile phones will be recharged once a week．
C．Scientists are focusing on increasing the number of batteries．
D．Many users are willing to pay more for watches of Apple version．
