Smith had to drive across the Sahara Desert. It was a journey across hundreds of miles of empty desert. After he had been driving for a few hours, there was a sandstorm. His car left the road and then broke down.

Smith began walking north across the hot sand under the burning sun. He hoped he would soon reach the road again. Soon, his tongue was thick with thirst. He needed water, but everywhere he looked there was nothing except sand.

Smith kept walking. Then about an hour later, a man riding a camel came into sight. Smith waved to him. The man on the camel rode up to him and stopped. “Please,” Smith said, “I am dying of thirst. Let me have some of your water.” The man slowly shook his head. “You can’t have any water,” he said, “but I’ll sell you a necktie.” “I don’t want a necktie,” Smith shouted at him furiously. “I need water.” But the man turned away quickly and rode off.

Smith continued walking. Two hours later, he met another man riding a camel. This time he asked if he could buy some water, but the man refused, saying, “No, but I’II sell you a necktie.” Angrily, Smith turned away from him and continued walking.

Three hours later, by which time he was near death, Smith saw a large luxury (豪华的) hotel in the distance. It stood alone in the middle of the desert, surrounded by palm trees.

Smith managed to reach the main entrance. He was about to enter the hotel when the doorman stopped him. “Hey!” he said. “This is a first-class hotel. You can’t come in here without a necktie.”

C. angrily.                          D. painfully.

26. Why was Smith not allowed into the hotel?

A. He was thirsty.                    B. He was not properly dressed.

C. He had no money.                  D. He was very sick and near death.

27. What can we learn from the passage?

Honeybees can’t swim, and when their wings are wet, they can’t fly, either. But Chris Roh and other researchers at the California Institute of Technology found that when bees drop into bodies of water, they can use their wings to produce little waves and slide toward land—like surfers who create and then ride their own waves.

As with many scientific advances－Isaac Newton’s apple or Benjamin Franklin’s lightning bolt—Dr. Roh’s experiment began with a walk. Passing Caltech’s Millikan Pond in 2016, he observed a bee on the water’s surface producing waves. He wondered how an insect known for flight could push itself through water.

Dr. Roh and his co-worker, Morteza Gharib, used butterfly nets to collect local Pasadena honeybees and observed their surf-like movements. The researchers used a wire to restrict each bee’s bodily movement, allowing close examination of their wings. They found that the bee bends its wings at a 30-degree angle, pulling up water and producing a forward force. Bees get trapped on the surface because water is roughly three times heavier than air. But that weight helps to push the bee forward when its wings move quickly up and down. It’s a tough exercise for the bees, which the researchers guess could handle about 10 minutes of the activity.

The researchers said the surf-like movement hasn’t been documented in other insects and most semiaquatic (半水生的) insects use their legs for pushing power, which is known as water-walking. It may have developed in bees, they predicted.

Dr. Roh and Dr. Gharib have imagined many practical applications for bees’ surfing. One plan is to use their observations to design robots able to travel across sky and sea. “This could be useful for search and rescues, or for getting samples of the surface of the ocean, if you can’t send a boat or helicopter,” Dr. Gharib said.

28. What does the author intend to show by mentioning Newton and Franklin?

1. Roh’s admiration for them. B. Roh’s chance discovery about bees.
2. Their outstanding talent for science. D. Their similar achievements in discovery.

29. What plays the most vital role in a bee’s moving forward on water?

A. The air weight. B. Its leg extension.

C. The water movement. D. Its continuous wing beat.

30. What’s the author’s attitude towards using this observation?

A. Uncaring.   B. Supportive. 

C. Doubtful.                     D. Worried.

31. What does the text mainly tell us?

A. Honeybees can surf to safety. B. Bees help scientists make inventions.

C. Insects can adapt to the environment. D. Nature is a helpful guide for discovery.

D

Japan is an island country in East Asia. Located in the Pacific Ocean, it lies to the east of China, Korea, and Russia, stretching from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north to the East China Sea in the south.

The climate of Japan varies upon location-it is hot in the south and cool in the north. For example its capital and largest city Tokyo is located in the north and its average August high temperature is 31℃ and its average January low temperature is 2℃.

Japan is the world's third largest economy power behind China and is the sixth largest exporter and importer and is a member of the United Nations, G8, G4, and APEC.

32. What's the first paragraph mainly about?

A. Japan's mountains. B. Japan's largest island.

C. Japan's location and characteristics. D. Japan's neighbours.

33. What's the temperature difference between the January average of Tokyo and that of

Naha?

34. What can we infer form the passage?

A. Tokyo is the largest city area in the world.

B. China is the world's second largest economy power.

C. Japan is the sixty-second largest country by population.

D. Japan has become a member of five international organizations.

35. Which could be the best title for the passage?

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。

Much meaning can be conveyed clearly with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak.

Do you have such kind of experience?    36   , but not too long. And if he is sensing that he is being stared at, he may feel uncomfortable.

    37   . If you are looked at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry toward other's stare with you that way. Eyes do speak, right?

   38   . But things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex. If a man glances at a woman for more than 10 seconds, his intentions are obvious, that is, he wishes to attract her attention to make her understand that he is admiring her. In fact, continuous eye contact occurs between lovers only, who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time to show affection that words cannot express.

However, the normal eye contact for two people engaged in conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time, in order to make sure that the listener is attentive.    39   , as if he tries to control you, you will feel uncomfortable. A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim, since he believes in the false idea that to look straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication.    40   .

Evidently, eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the specific situation.

1. Quite the contrary, in fact.
2. The same is in daily life
3. In a bus you may look at a stranger
4. Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude
5. This shows the listener is interested in your speech
6. If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking
7. Sometimes it doesn't matter to look at someone too long

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be very difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible—and it can be surprisingly  61  (benefit) to your physical and mental health. So far, research has shown that people who forgive can have more energy and    62  (good) sleep.

So when someone has hurt you, cool down first. Take a couple of breaths and think of something that   63  (give) you pleasure：a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love. Don’t wait for  64  apology. “Many times the person who hurts you may never think of  65  (apologize), ” says Dr. Frederic Luskin  66   wrote the book Forgive for Good. “They may have wanted to hurt you  67  they just don’t see things the same way. So if you wait for people   68  (say) sorry, you could be waiting a very long time. ”               

Next keep in mind that forgiveness does not  69  (necessary) mean accepting the action of the person who upsets you. Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and   70  (kind) around you. Finally, try to see things from the other person’s position. You may realize that he or she was acting out of carelessness.
