Think it's cold where you are. A visit to Oymyakon might just change your mind.

The coldest inhabited(居住的) place on Earth is a small village in the Siberian tundra called Oymyakon where temperatures have been recorded as low as－90 degrees Fahrenheit. Average winter temperatures hang around－58 degrees Fahrenheit in Oymyakon and only about 500 people brave the cold to call the town home.

Photographer Amos Chapple, of New Zealand, took a two day trip to the Russian village and quickly learned just how painful the plunging(骤降的) temperatures could be.

“I was wearing thin trousers when I first stepped outside into－47 degrees Celsius (－52 degrees Fahrenheit). I remembered feeling like the cold was physically grasping my legs."

He hoped to document(记录) the residents in the small town's lives as they avoided frostbite and blistering cold. He noted that residents live off a diet of primarily meat due to the fact that produce are unable to survive in the freezing temperatures.

Because the ground is always frozen, there is little indoor plumbing and most bathrooms are outhouses and cell phones and car engines are constantly in danger of freezing over.

If cars aren't left running outside, they must be kept in a heated garage to prevent damage and people will walk but try and get out of the cold as quickly as possible.

Chapple said he traveled to Oymyakon to find an exciting story but said the cold created some new challenges in his photography. His lens would freeze over and became impossible to focus.

However, in summer the town can get up to 21 hours of light and temperatures can rise to an average of 73 degrees Fahrenheit in July.

24. Why did Chapple travel to Oymyakon?

A. To discover a thrilling story.   B. To help people there.

C. To experience its cold.        D. To do a research.

25. What can we know about Oymyakon from the second paragraph?

A. It is the coldest place in the world.

B. A lot of people are willing to live there.

C. The average temperature is－58 degrees Celsius.

D. The lowest recorded temperature is－90 degrees Fahrenheit.

26. Why do people mainly feed on meat in Oymyakon?

A. Produce can't survive.        B. Oymyakon is abundant in meat.

C. Vegetables are too expensive.  D. People are fond of meat.

27. What do we know about the life in Oymyakon?

A. People don't need to worry about cell phones and car engines.

B. The vehicles had better be kept in a warm garage when not used.

C. There is a lot of indoor plumbing and most bathrooms are outhouses.

D. People there will never walk because of freezing temperatures.

C

In honor of the United Nations’ International Day of the Girl Child on Sunday, first lady Michelle Obama developed her passion (热情)for promoting girls’ education and stated the reason why she started the #62MillionGirls campaign recently.

“When I was a child, my family didn’t have much money. My father had to do three part－time jobs to support our family. And neither of my parents had got a college degree, but they were determined to let me receive the best education and they thought education was everything for me. It was the starting point for every chance I had had in my life. However, many girls never get that chance, ” she said in an interview.“As I travel around the world, I find that these girls are so bright and so hungry for knowledge and I really see myself among them.”

In September, Michelle Obama started #62 Million Girls to stress the fact that tens of millions of girls worldwide are unable to attend school.“I want young women to know about them and be inspired by them, not to take their education for granted (不把……当回事), ” Michelle said.“If you ever face challenges at school and start to get upset, I want you to remind yourself that there are 62 million girls around the world who will give anything to be in your position.”

In the interview, Michelle Obama also shared advice on how to achieve success in college.“Don’t be afraid to ask for help. If you’re struggling in class, go to your professor’s office. If you’re having trouble writing a paper, go to the library. If you’re struggling with difficulties in your life, seek out an advisor or a counselor (指导老师) and talk with him about them, ” she said.“Getting help when you need it doesn’t make you weak；it makes you smart.”

28. When Michelle Obama was a little child, ________.

A. she dreamed of traveling around the world

B. she took her education for granted

C. she lived a poor and tough life

D. she missed several chances to receive education

29. #62MillionGirls was started to________.

A. stress the importance of education

B. raise money for poor and hungry girls

C. draw people’s attention to women’s status

D. encourage girls to value their education

30. In Michelle Obama’s opinion, ________.

A. professors’ classes should be treasured

B. students should learn to teach themselves

C. it’s quite OK for college students to seek help

D. struggling with difficulties is quite common in life

31. The text is probably taken from________.

D

In 2013, Harris Academy, a school in south London, stopped its students from using slang (俚语) words, such as ain’t. The move led to an argument over whether it is necessary to control the way students speak.

The creation of slang is one way languages change. Slang, or informal language, usually changes more rapidly than standard language. For example, the word groovy, meaning “great,” used to be very popular in the 1960s and ‘70s. But by 1980, people had stopped using it.

One important reason we use slang is to show others that we belong to a group. Another is to communicate an idea in a more colorful or humorous way. For example, the phrase jump ship creates a stronger image (形象) than the more standard leave an organization. While in the Internet age, slang expressions are created faster than ever. Often, Internet slang words are created to make messages faster and easier to type.

Some people are strongly against the use of slang. Teachers at Harris Academy were worried that slang would prevent their students from learning how to read, write, and express themselves correctly. They thought this might cause problems for them when they finally went on to apply (申请) to universities or companies.

However, some people think differently. Linguist （语言学家）Tony Thorne sees slang as a way for speakers of a language to show their creativity and humor. And, unlike what some believe, slang is not a new phenomenon (现象). As Thorne explains, “Slang has not become more popular, simply more public.” In today’s highly connected world, slang has become more noticeable because of better tools to observe language change.

Perhaps the worries mentioned above can be solved by making people understand when to use certain forms of language. As long as people use slang properly, there is no need to completely avoid it.

32. Why did the author mention the example of “groovy”?

A. To show how languages change.         B. To show how standard language forms over time.

C. To show slang was popular in the 1960s.   D. To show slang often changes fast.

33. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?

A. Why people use slang.      B. How people use slang.

C. Different types of slang.     D. The development of slang.

34. What can we infer from Tony Thorne’s words in Paragraph 5?

A. Slang takes time to develop.               

B. Slang is being accepted by the public.

C. Slang is increasingly known to the public.    

D. More and more people are beginning to use slang.

35. What’s the author’s attitude towards Harris Academy’s decision on slang?

A. He is against it.        B. He is in favor of it.

C. He is doubtful about it.  D. He is uncertain about it.

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。

When things get wildly busy in the morning, some students like fast breakfast to save time.

36.      Whether at home, on the way to school or at school eating something healthy for breakfast may help a student get better grades. According to research, the students who ate a healthy breakfast were twice as likely to achieve above average in education as those who didn't.

Are there really many children who do not eat breakfast? 37.      The study found that 39 percent of students reported eating breakfast fewer than three days in a usual school week.

Health experts suggest that the best breakfast is a mix of complex carbohydrates(碳水化合物), protein and fat. This gives your body the energy it needs to think clearly and to remember what it learns. According to research, not all breakfasts are created equal. 38.       The best breakfast should include complex carbohydrates that slowly release energy to the body.

39.        They say eating between 350 and 500 calories in the morning is a good amount of energy to start the day.

A good breakfast is not just helpful to school-aged children. 40.      A study from researchers at the University of Toronto in Canada found that a breakfast rich in protein and complex carbohydrates increased performance on short-term and long-term memory. Carbohydrates and protein are especially important because they have a major effect on long-term memory.

A. But that may be a big mistake for students.

B. We all benefit from eating something healthy in the morning.

C. But they think it may be harmful to their health.

D. The answer is yes.

E. Students don't know about it.

F. However, eating too much can also make a person feel tired and unable to think clearly.

G. Some breakfasts are not able to give the brain what it needs to work at its highest level.
