      第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

      阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳答案，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
      A
      George Max showed up in a well-maintained lorry. He brought some tools, such as something to light a fire with, a smoker, a long-handled brush, a metal hive(蜂箱)tool, and a hive. As George moved about, he said in a low and calm voice, “You’d be amazed how many people call me with a swarm(一大群)like this; and by the time I come, they’ve destroyed the whole thing, down to the last bee.”
      George said this swarm of bees was breath-taking, about 15,000 bees. He placed the hive in a proper place. Holding the smoker close to the swarm, he pumped the bellows(风箱). Smoke has a calming effect on bees. George said this group was easy to deal with. They were heavy with honey, and their main purpose was to hold the group together until they could find a new hive.
      He went on smoking the swarm and let the bees pour into the hive. Most bees would only follow the queen to a new living place (yes, she has ladies-in-waiting that tend her every need). By dusk, most of the bees had disappeared into the hive.
      “Alright, it appears that we’ve got them all,” I looked hopefully in George’s direction. He paused. “If you don’t mind, we’ll wait a bit longer,” he said. “They have sent out scout bees, and I want to be sure we don’t leave any behind.” So we waited. And, look! Scout bees returned.
      If the hive is healthy, the population of bees will be on the increase. When the queen senses that it’s time for the hive to split, she will lose weight so she can fly, and then leave the hive with a large part of the bees. The bees left behind will hurry to hatch another queen and rebuild.
      If some day you come across a swarm of bees in your backyard, call in a local beekeeper. Then sit back and enjoy the show. Get your camera, because you’ll want to share this amazing phenomenon with everyone you know, especially children. And if you’ve gone this far, you might as well buy a hive of your own. We did.
2. George thought the bees weren’t difficult to handle mainly because ______.

1. his smoke had a healing effect on them B. they were in huge quantity
   C. the bees were keeping together the groupD. they didn't need a new hive
   22. George wanted to wait a little longer because ______．
   A. there might be some bees that hadn’t come back
   B. those bees which he had sent away didn’t return
   C. the longer he stayed, the more honey he’d collect
   D. the queen hadn’t turned up
   23. We can infer from the last but one paragraph______．
   A. the queen must keep fit to control others
   B. the queen will leave if she finds no one supports her
   C. fatty queens are not welcome in a hive
   D. there is only one queen in a hive
   24. How is the whole passage mainly developed?
   1. By analyzing causes. B. By giving examples.

C. By giving descriptions. D. By making comparisons.

      Running out of cooking oil or need some dressing for your salad? The solution may be bugs from your backyard! Scientists are turning insects into a source of eatable and healthy oil. Even though serving insects as dishes is common in some parts of the world, to many people, the thought of eating them is rather disgusting.
      “In the Western countries, there is no culture of eating entire insects. So when the idea is to use the protein in powder as an ingredient(配料), people might tend to receive this protein better, on condition that they cannot see it.” said researcher Daylan Tzompas-Sosa, Wageningen University, Netherlands. “There are many uses for the oil in general, but we are investigating the use of these oils for a food, as a food ingredient.”
      The Mexican researcher, working in the Netherlands, said insects are a great source of heart healthy omega-3 fatty acids, which can help treat anxiety disorder symptoms. Backing up the increased reliance on insects is the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization. In a 2015 report, the UN agency approved the cultivation of bugs as a food source, saying it’s environmentally-friendly and could increase the world’s food production.
      There are clear reasons that experts advise people to eat the insects. Experts say insects require little food to grow and that the backyard can be a good place to raise them. And there’s no shortage of protein-rich insects, which also contain fat, vitamins, fiber and minerals.
      Researchers say different bugs provide unique tastes and textures. “This is very liquid and it has a different color, so this can be used as a dressing for example and it’s easy to use and this can be used for example for pastry(油酥面团), because for pastry you need hard fats,” stated Tzompas-Sosa.
      But not all insects produce good oil. Cockroaches (蟑螂) don’t. The bug oils must be tested to make sure they are safe to consume. But getting over the “disgusting feeling” may be a bigger challenge.
      29. What is the author’s attitude towards the use of bug oils?
      1. DoubtfulB. ObjectiveC. SupportiveD. Unfavorable
         30. Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “Backing up”?
         A. Raising B. Rejecting C. Supporting D. Enjoying
         31. Why do experts suggest eating the insects?
         A. They’re rich in minerals.B. They have different colors.
         C. They taste good.D. They’re easy to raise.
         32. From the last paragraph, we can learn that _____.
         A. all insects cannot produce good oil
         B. the bug oils are the most delicious
         C. it’s safe to consume the bug oils
         D. the use of bug oils is banned

         Humans and many other mammals have unusually efficient internal temperature regulating systems that automatically maintain stable core（核心）body temperatures in cold winters and warm summers. In addition, people have developed cultural patterns and technologies that help them adjust to extremes of temperature and humidity（湿度）.
         In very cold climates, there is a constant danger of developing hypothermia（低体温）, which is a life threatening drop in core body temperature to below normal levels. The normal temperature for humans is about 37.0°C. However, differences in persons and even the time of day can cause it to be as much as 6°C higher or lower in healthy individuals. It is also normal for core body temperature to be lower in elderly people. Hypothermia begins to occur when the core body temperature drops to 34.4°C. Below 29.4°C, the body cools more rapidly because its natural temperature regulating system usually fails. The rapid decline in core body temperature is likely to result in death. However, there have been rare cases in which people have been saved after their temperatures had dropped to 13.9-15.6°C. This happened in 1999 to a Swedish woman who was trapped under an ice sheet in freezing water for 80 minutes. She was found unconscious, not breathing, and her heart had stopped beating, yet she was eventually saved despite the fact that her temperature had dropped to 13.7°C.
         In extremely hot climates or as a result of uncontrollable infections, core body temperatures can rise to equally dangerous levels. This is hyperthermia. Life threatening hyperthermia typically starts in humans when their temperatures rise to 40.6-41.7°C. Only a few days at this extraordinarily high temperature level is likely to result in the worsening of internal organs and death.
         33. Why can humans keep stable body temperatures in different seasons?
         A. Because their bodies are unusually efficient.
         B. Because they experience different climates.
         C. Because they can adjust to cultural patterns and technologies.
         D. Because they have internal temperature regulating systems.
         34. What does Paragraph Two mainly discuss?
         A. The dangerous effects of hypothermia.        
         B. The change of body temperature.
         C. The survival of the Swedish woman.
         D. The regulating systems of natural temperature.
         35. What is the best title for the passage?
         A. Unbelievable Survival in an Ice Trap 资*源%库
         B. Getting to Know Hypothermia
         C. Humans’ Ability to Adjust Body Temperature 
         D. Changing Core Body Temperature

         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。
         Learning to set goals plays an important role as your child starts to gain independence. However, setting goals doesn’t come naturally to your child, so helping him to learn the process should probably be one of your goals.
         Explain the word “goal”. Your child may know what a goal is when it comes to soccer, but he may not understand what it means in everyday life. __36__
         Listen to your child. Ideally, you want your child to be able to decide for himself what his goals are. __37__ Let him talk about what he thinks he does well and what he thinks needs to improve. If he’s stuck, you can provide some examples of your own personal goals.
         Help keep goals achievable. Don’t throw cold water on your child. __38__ For example, if your child wants to be a champion swimmer, but can’t swim an entire lap of the pool yet, you can suggest he start by making that his first goal.
         __39__ Help your child write down his goals in an easy-to-follow form. Being able to see and check off the steps on the way to his goal is key to keeping him motivated. A really simple way is to have your child draw a ladder on a piece of paper, writing his goal at the top and each step to that goal on the rungs (梯级). __40__
         A. Change goals every so often.
         B. Make a visual goal reminder.
         C. Don’t always tell him what you think.
         D. He’s climbing to the top as he gets closer to his goal.
5. You can take sports as example to help explain it to him.
6. Once he has set up a goal, he may find it very difficult to achieve it.
7. When a goal is beyond his reach, help him break it down into smaller pieces.

Dear friends,

I feel greatly honored to be spoken on behalf of all the camp members. First I’d like to express our sincerely thanks to all the teachers and host families which have given us a lot of help both in life and in study. We have had a wonderful time and achieve a lot since we came here. The host parents took good care of us, which made us feeling at home. And with help of the teachers we have made great progress in English. Meanwhile, we have got to know more about western history and culture after seeing so many places of interests. What’s more, the visit to such famous universities like Oxford University and Cambridge University that has broadened our horizons.

What we have gained from this camp is not only knowledge, but also friendship. I hope their friendship will last forever.

Thank you!

书面表达

I can’t agree more with what you said. It’s a fact that quite a few students are suffering mental problems. It is really worrying.

These students are so worried about the college entrance examination that they are discouraged and tend to lose their confidence. They always feel stressed and easily get angry and therefore they can’t get along well with others. However, there’re many ways for them to deal with their mental problems, such as turning to their teachers for help, communicating with their friends or classmates. Above all, they need to develop a positive attitude towards their studies and life. Only in this way will they keep in normal mental health and study happily.

I hope that my suggestions will give you a hand in dealing with the pressure in your life.
