Visit amazonBAlexis, 17, sat quietly in the passenger seat of her dads car. She let her eyes lazily scan the landscape for wildlife. Then a deer came into view about 200 yards in front of them. Dad, theres a deer there! Alexis said. It was a male deer with sharp antlers (角) on each side of its head.As the car moved closer, Alexis saw that the deers head was bent toward the ground. Then she heard a scream and saw an arm fly up near the deers head. Alexis realized the deer was attacking a woman. Sue, a 44-year-old mother, had been out for her morning run. The deer followed her and edged closer. I knew I was in trouble, Sue says. She went to pick up a stick for self-defense, and the deer charged. It lifted her with its antlers and threw her into the air. Sue could feel blood flew down her leg. Within seconds, the deer had pushed her off the road.When Alexis and her father pulled up, the deer was throwing Sue like a doll. Alexis looked into the womans terrified eyes, and before her father had even stopped the car, the teenager jumped quickly out of the car and ran toward the deer. I was kicking it to get its attention, she says. Then her father, who had followed his daughter, pushed the deer away from the women.Alexis helped Sue into the car, and then applied a piece of cloth to Sues injured leg. Were going to get you to a hospital, Alexis said. Then she heard her father shout loudly. He had been knocked to the ground. Alexis took hold of a hammer from the car and ran to where her father lay on his back. She beat the deers head and neck, but the blows didnt scare it away. I was losing faith, she says. A couple more strikes, Alexis, said her father. You can do it.Turning the hammer around, Alexis closed her eyes and beat the deers neck with all her strength. When she opened her eyes, the deer was running away.Alexis got in the drivers seat and sped toward the nearest hospital. After Sue was treated, she tearfully thanked her rescuers. You expect a teenage girl to get on the phone and call for help, she says, not to beat up a deer.24.What was Sue doing when she was attacked by the deer?A .She was driving home. B. She was resting on the road.C. She was taking exercise. D. She was feeding wild animals.25. What did Alexis do to save Sue?A. She pushed the deer away. B. She hit the deer with her feetC. She drove the car to hit the deer. D. She beat the deer with a hammer.26. Which of the following words can best describe Alexis?A. Strong. B. Cruel. C. Energetic. D. Brave.27. What is the best title for the passage?A. A Woman Was Seriously Injured B. A Dangerous Deer Attacked a WomanC. A Girl Rescued Her Father Successfully D. A Teenager Saved Others from a Deer AttackCIf you want to convince the boss you deserve a pay rise or promotion, the solution could be simpleeat the same food as they do. Psychologists have discovered managers are much more likely to instantly trust us if we choose the same dishes as them.During experiments, discussions over wages and work conditions were much more successful if both sides chose to snack on the same treats. And shoppers were much more likely to buy a product advertised on TV by someone eating a similar food to them at the time.The reason is thought to be so-called similarity attraction theory - where people tend to like others who have similar tastes or habits to themselves. But this is believed to be one of the first studies highlighting the role of food in this relationship. Researchers at Chicago University in the US conducted a series of experiments to examine foods role in earning trust.In a test, participants were told to watch TV- where someone pretending to be a member of the public praised a certain product. The volunteers were given Kit Kat bars to nibble, while the TV people ate either a Kit Kat or grapes as they talked.The results showed viewers were much more likely to express an interest in buying the product if the TV showed the other person eating a Kit Kat too.The researchers added, “Although similarity in food consumption is not a sign of whether two people will get along, we find consumers treat this as such. They feel more trusting of those who consume as they do. It means people can immediately begin to feel friendship and develop a bond, leading to smoother transactions from the start.”Harley Street psychologist Dr Lucy Aitcheson said it was already known that wearing similar clothes could instantly create trust. But this was the first report that food had the same effect. She said, “This is really interesting. It makes sense as people feel they have mon ground and can trust the other person. That means negotiations are more likely to be successful.28. According to the passage, customers are likely to buy a product from a dealer who .A. has the same taste as them B. advertises his products on TVC. reduces the price of his products D. pays attention to the quality of his products29. The experiments conducted by researchers at Chicago University show that .A. food plays an important role in earning peoples trustB. bosses like employees that have the same taste as themC. people who have similar tastes to their bosss earn more D. people have less interest in buying products advertised on TV30. What can be inferred from the passage?A. People who eat similar food are more likely to trust each other.B. People will get along with each other if they like to eat similar things.C. The effect of wearing similar clothes hasnt been proved by researchers.D. People are more likely to make friends with those wearing the same clothes as them.31. Which of the following sayings can be an example of the similarity attraction theory?A. Honesty is the best policy.B. All good things e to an end.C. Birds of a feather flock together. D. Where there is a will, there is a way. DIt seems that we are one step closer to finding alien life and maybe a future home for humanity. Scientists from NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) have found a new solar system filled with planets that look like Earth and could even support life.The group of seven planets, which orbits a star called Trappist-1, is 40 light years away from Earth in the constellation of Aquarius(水瓶座). And three of them are in the so-called “habitable (宜居的)zone” -the area around a star where liquid water is most likely to be found. This is important because water is a necessary ingredient for life.All of the planets were found using a method called “transit photometry.” This works by watching out for when a planet passes in front of its host start. This blocks out a small amount of light, allowing us to see the planet and learn about its size.“This is an amazing planetary system-not only because we have found so many planets, but because they are all surprisingly similar in size to the Earth,” astronomer Michael Gillon from the University of Liege in Belgium told The Independent.Trappist-1 is a “dwarf star (矮星)” which is colder and shines dimmer than our sun. If a person were on one of the seven planets, everything would look a lot darker than usual. The amount of light heading toward our eyes would be about 200 times less than we get from the sun, according to The Independent.Because of that, Trappist-1, together with many other dwarf stars, was never on the list of places where scientists look for alien life. but Michael Gillon, lead researcher behind the discovery, decided to give dwarf stars a chance. He built a telescope in Chile to observe 60 of the closest dwarf stars, and it turned out that Trappist-1 was worthy of the effort.The researchers hope that they can spend more time watching the newly found planets to learn more about them. Even though more research is needed before determining whether these planets could really support life, the discovery is still encouraging. It shows just how many Earth-size planets could be out there.“The discovery gives us a hint that finding a second Earth is not just a matter of if, but when,” NASA scientist Thomas Zurbuchen told the Telegraph.32. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the newly found planets? A. It will take human beings about 40 years to travel to them B. Some of them might have the proper conditions to support life C. They are spread out in the habitable zone around Trappist-1 D. Underground ice has been found in some them33. “Transit photometry” is a special method mainly used to _. A. tell apart different stars B. test the brightness of stars C. search for and measure planets D. work out the distance between stars34. We can infer from the article that _. A. scientists will soon find an Earth-like planet that can support human life B. researchers know a little about the environment on the newly found planets C. dwarf stars have long been a popular choice in the hunt for Earth-like planets D. the size of a planet is the top concern when scientists search for a “second Earth”35. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? A. Life in space soon? B. Any aliens in space? C. Trappist-1, a dark dwarf star D.

Newspapers, magazines and sports programmes on TV frequently cover boxing matches. 36_ It seems to me that some people, especially men, find it appealing because it is an aggressive sport. When they watch a boxing match, they can identify with the winning boxer, and this gives them the feeling of being a winner themselves. It is a fact that many people have feelings of aggression from time to time, but they cannot show their aggression in their everyday lives. 37_ However, there is a negative side to boxing. 38 Although boxers wear gloves during the fights, and amateur boxers even have to wear helmets, there have frequently been accidents in both professional and amateur boxing, sometimes with dramatic consequences. Boxers have suffered from head injuries, and occasionally, fighters have even been killed as a result of being knocked out in the ring(拳击台). 39 Sometimes even if a boxer has never been knocked out, he might have suffered severe brain damage without knowing it. 40 I think it would be better if less time was given to aggressive sports on TV, and we weled more men and women from non-aggressive sports as our heroes and heroines in our society. I believe that the world is aggressive enough already! Of course, people like petitive sports, and so do I, but I think that hitting other people in an aggressive way is not something that should be regarded as a sport.A. It can be a very dangerous sport.B. Watching a boxing match gives them an outlet for this aggression.C. In my personal opinion, boxing can be so thrilling that many people dare not have a try.D. I am personally not at all in favor of aggressive sports like boxing.E. Furthermore, studies have shown that there are often long-term effects of boxing.F. Professional boxers earn a lot of money, and successful boxers are treated as big heroes.G. It is likely to threaten personal safety of people.第三部分 语言知识运用 （共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 My mum has a unique way of embarrassing her children.
