26、   China’ Forbidden City----traditionally off-limit at night for anyone except emperors and visiting dignitaries (显要人物）---- was decorated with lanterns as China celebrated the end of the Chinese New Year holiday. The complex, home to Chinese emperors for five centuries, was opened at night for the first time since it was reopened as the Palace Museum 94 years ago.

The complex and palace walls were illuminated with red lanterns and a light show, designed to recreate the feelings of the royal court, while the China National Traditional Orchestra and the Peking Opera performed. An image of a treasured scroll called A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains was cast onto the palace roof.

Most of China’s 1.3 billion people, however, had to watch the show on television. Only 3,000 people were allowed in: 2,500 invited guests and 500 people who booked their tickets online. “The 3,000 visitors can show off for the whole year,” one person said on Weibo. When booking for the second day opened at midnight, the booking system crashed for more than an hour due to great demand. The free tickets were quickly taken when it reopened. A lively secondary market soon appeared. Scalpers were selling tickets for as much as 9,999 yuan on online trading sites.

The Palace Museum is now on a campaign to attract more visitors, with its former curator Shan Jixiang saying he wants to make traditional Chinese culture more accessible to the general public. More than 80 percent of the palace is now accessible to visitors, up from 30 percent in 2012. Shan has set a target of 85 percent by 2020 to mark the palace’s 600th anniversary . Creativity today has made the Palace Museum younger and drawn traditional culture closer to the public.

【1】What does the underlined word “illuminate”probably mean in Paragraph 2?

A.Cared for. B.Lit up.

C.Picked out. D.Kept safe.

【2】How do most Chinese admire the night view of the Forbidden City ?

A.By watching TV at home .

B.By grabbing free tickets online

C.By buying tickets from the secondary market.

D.By receiving invitation from the Forbidden City.

【3】What will happen in 2020 according to Shan Jixiang?

A.The campaign between museums will be better.

B.Creativity will make the Palace Museum younger.

C.Traditional Chinese culture will be recreated by foreigners.

D.About 85 percent of the palace will be accessible to visitors.

【4】What can be a suitable title of the text ?

A.A Brief Introduction of the Forbidden City

B.Difficulties in Getting Tickets to the Forbidden City

C.Performances During the Light Show in the Forbidden City

D.Forbidden City’s First Opening to General Public at Night

27、   Jack Horner is co-author of the book How to Build a Dinosaur. However, he is most famous for his role as consultant(顾问) on all four Jurassic Park films, including the new film Jurassic World.

The original film Jurassic Park tells the story of a theme park where dinosaurs live. In that movie, scientists used DNA collected by ancient mosquitoes that had been trapped in amber shortly after they drank dinosaur blood. The scientists used this dinosaur DNA to create baby dinosaurs. The scientists in Jurassic Park created various types of dinosaurs, but in the real world there is one big problem with the story. It turns out that DNA could not possibly survive the 65 million years since the death of the dinosaurs.

The new movie creates the Indominus Rex. This idea of creating a hybrid species is something Horner has explored before. In 2011, he gave a speech in which he discussed producing a dinosaur by working with the genes of a bird. Modern birds are the closest living relative of dinosaurs.

The concept of using the genes of different animals to create new animals is called transgenic science. And this type of science has already produced some interesting results — goats that produce spider silk in their milk, cows that produce proteins for medicines that can treat diseases, and a pig that produces less-polluting waste thanks to a bit of mouse DNA. However, none of these examples are close to the dinosaurs in Jurassic World. And for a good reason — genetics is a very complex science. Producing a new species is not as simple as just exchanging a few genes around.

In the end, Jurassic World is all about fun.

【1】What do we know from Paragraph 2?

A.A theme park is built to protect dinosaurs.

B.Mosquito DNA is used to create dinosaurs.

C.DNA can be well kept for millions of years.

D.Creation of dinosaurs in the film isn’t scientific.

【2】What might “the Indominus Rex” be?

A.A modern bird. B.A goat producing silk.

C.A hybrid dinosaur. D.A cow producing protein.

【3】What can we conclude from the last two paragraphs?

A.Jurassic World proves a big success. B.Many extinct species will be brought back.

C.Hybridizing dinosaurs is no easy job. D.Transgenic science proves a complete failure.

【4】What do we know about Jack Horner?

A.He has starred in Jurassic World.

B.He has explored a lot about dinosaurs.

C.He has directed four Jurassic Park films.

D.He has written How to Build a Dinosaur alone.

28、Light weight and complicated tracking devices have made it possible to study the behavior of birds in all kinds of useful ways, for example, helping keep them safe from ships or monito-ring their changing migration patterns in a warming world. For a research team in Australia, however these efforts haven't quite gone to plan, with a group of tagged magpies (喜鹊) promptly removing each other’s tracking devices.

The research was led by animal ecologists from the University of the Sunshine Coast, who were looking to studying the movement and social dynamics of Australian magpies. To do so, the team actually designed a new type of tagging solution in which a belt was used to secure the tracking device to the bird, allowing them to use one with a large enough battery and storage capacity, despite the relatively small size of the animal.

The tracking devices weighed less than a gram (0.03 oz) and were successfully fitted to five magpies, with the scientists excited to learn the answers to questions such as how far the magpies were traveling, and what their movement patterns and schedules looked like. But before long, the plans of the researchers were thwarted.

Within 10 minutes of fitting the final tracker, the team watched on as an adult female used her bill to remove the belt from a younger bird in the group. A few hours on, most of the other trackers had been removed. By day three, they were all gone. It’s unclear whether one bird was helping out all the others, or if they shared the unfastening responsibilities between the group, but this is the first instance the scientists know of where birds have cooperated to remove tracking devices, and the first example of altruism (利他主义) in magpies. It appears that the magpies see the trackers as a form of parasite (寄生虫) that needs to be removed. This very rare behavior is known as “rescuing”, and the scientists say the only similar example they have found in literature is a group of birds-Seychelles warblers-freeing one another from a pile of sticky seeds.

【1】Why were tracking devices often used to help birds according to the text？

A．To search the ships for food.

B．To warn them of the warming world.

C．To help them avoid being injured by other animals.

D．To monitor their travelling according to the season.

【2】What does paragraph 2 mainly introduce？

A．The process of the experiment.

B．The background of the experiment.

C．The new objects of the experiment.

D．The special device of the experiment.

【3】Which can best replace the underlined word “thwarted” in paragraph 3？

A．followed

B．prevented

C．discovered

D．questioned

【4】What can we learn about the rescuing behaviour？

A．It’s rare for the birds.

B．It was first observed by researchers.

C．It disappointed the researchers very much.

D．It shows that the birds are behaving similarly.

29、Every day we meet a lot of people. 【1】 It’s important to do so in a proper way, no matter whether you are introducing yourself to someone, or introducing two people to each other.

Always stand when making an introduction. When you are seated and someone comes up to greet you, make the effort to stand up. 【2】

Always keep eye contact while making an introduction. Many people are not aware of the value of this simple action. 【3】

Always introduce an important person to all first. The most important thing to remember is to say the most important person’s name first.

【4】

A man is introduced to a woman and a younger woman to an older woman. What if you find yourself in a situation where you have forgotten the other person’s name? Start with a handshake and reintroduce yourself by doing this, you will usually cause the other person to do the same. However, if the other person does not take your suggestion, it is OK simply to apologize and let the person know that you cannot remember her or his name. This is not the ideal situation, of course, but it does happen to all of us. 【5】

A．We should avoid it.

B．But they should know its importance.

C．And the way we meet and greet them creates an impression.

D．The other person should be forgiving.

E．In a situation where rank is unimportant, an introduction is based on sex and age.

F．When you make eye contact, you are giving a confident image.

G．By doing this, you show respect for yourself and for the other person.

34、Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word. For the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.

My daughter

(A story told by a father, a famous actor)

My wife and I only had the one child. We had Amy.

I see her as my best friend. I think she’d always come to me first if she had a problem. We have the same sense of humor, and share interests. 【1】 I don’t mind animals, she’s completely fascinated with them, and she has always had dogs, cats, horses, and goldfish in her life.

We were 【2】 (close) when she was about four, which I think is a lovely age for a child. They know the parents best, and don’t have outside contacts. She must have grown up suddenly when she went to school, because I remember her growing away from her family slightly. Any father who has a teenager daughter comes across an extraordinary collection of people, and there seemed to be an endless stream of strange young men 【3】 (come) through our house. By the time I learned their names they 【4】 (go) away and I had to start learning a new lot.

I wanted more than anything else for her to be happy in 【5】 she was doing, and I was prepared to pull strings to help her on her way. When she left a good school she decided she wanted to become an actress so I got her into drama school. It wasn’t to her liking so she joined a theatre group and began doing bits and pieces in films. She was doing well, but then gave it up. She probably found it boring. Then she took up social work, and finally went to work 【6】a designer and he became her husband. And that’s really the story of her life. She must be happy with him—they’re always together.

We have such similar tastes in books and music 【7】 I used to take her to see an opera, which is my big passion. However, I don’t think she likes it very much. She doesn’t come with me anymore.

I don’t think she’s a big television watcher. She knows when I’m on the television, and she 【8】 watch, but I don’t know. It’s not the kind of thing she tells me.

We’re very grateful for Amy. She’s a good daughter as daughters go. We’re looking forward to being grandparents.

40、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。

“I’m going to miss you so much, Poppy,” said the tall, thin teenager. He bent down to hug his old friend goodbye. He stood up, hugged his parents, and smiled, trying not to let his emotions get the better of him.

His parents were not quite able to control theirs. They had driven their son several hours out of town to the university where he would soon be living and studying. It was time to say goodbye for now at least. The family hugged and smiled through misty eyes and then laughed.

The boy lifted the last bag onto his shoulder, and flashed a bright smile. “I guess this is it,” he said. “I’ll see you back home in a month, okay?” His parents nodded, and they watched as he walked out of sight into the crowds of hundreds of students and parents. The boy’s mother turned to the dog, “Okay, Poppy, time to go back home.”

The house seemed quiet as a tomb without the boy living there. All that week, Poppy didn’t seem interested in her dinner, her favorite toy, or even in her daily walk. Her owners were sad too, but they knew their son would be back to visit. Poppy didn’t.

They offered the dog some of her favorite peanut butter treats. They even let her sit on the sofa, but the old girl just wasn’t her usual cheerful self. Her owners started to get worried. “What should we do to cheer Poppy up?” asked Dad. “We’ve tried everything.”

“I have an idea, but it might be a little crazy,” smiled Mom. “Without anybody left in the house but us, this place could use a bit of fun. Let’s get a little dog for Poppy.

It didn’t take long before they walked through the front door carrying a big box. Poppy welcomed them home as usual but when she saw the box, she stopped. She put her nose on it. Her tail began wagging (摆动) ever so slowly, then faster as she caught the smell.

注意：

Para 1：Dad opened the box and a sweet little dog appeared.

Para 2：A few weeks later, the boy arrived home from university.
