Although they have an excellent sense of smell, their _12_ is very bad and they can barely see beyond their noses.Molly was a very _13_ mole, for she decided to wear glasses to see better. All the moles in the field _14_ her for this, and she felt sad.One day the Mole Olympics were held in the field, and Molly put herself forward for the event of “the most extraordinary digger”.

At the end of the petition, to everyones _16_ , Molly became the champion of the event._17_ her glasses, Molly had been the only mole to dig _18_ to the point she started from.

I was a new_21_， and I gave an honest account of the students work. In Simons case, the grades were awfully low. He couldnt read his own handwriting. _22_he was a bright student. He discussed adult subjects with nearly adult prehension. His work in no way reflected his_23_.So when Simons mother entered the room, my palms (手掌心) were sweating.

Mary gave him a tin basin of water and a piece of soap, and he went outside the door and set the basin on a little bench there; then he dipped the soap in the water and laid it down, turned up his sleeves, poured out the water on the ground, gently, and then entered the kitchen and began to wipe his face diligently on the towel behind the door. But Mary removed the towel and said： “Now arent you ashamed, Tom. You mustnt be so bad. Water wont hurt you.”Tom was a little unsettled. The basin was refilled, and this time he stood over it, took in a big breath and began. When he entered the kitchen presently, with both eyes shut and feeling for the towel with his hands, an honorable testimony of bubbles and water was dripping from his face. But When he came out from the towel, he was not yet satisfactory, for the clean territory stopped short at his chin and his jaws, like a mask; below and beyond this line there was a dark expanse of unirrigated soil that spread downward in front and backward around his neck. Mary took him in hand, and his flooded hair was neatly brushed, and its short curls formed into an elegant and regular general effect. Then Mary got out a suit of his clothing that had been used only on Sundays during two years they were simply called his “other clothes” and so by that we know the size of his wardrobe. After he had dressed himself, Mary checked over and over again. Now he looked extraordinarily improved but unfortable. He was fully as unfortable as he looked; for there was selfcontrol about whole clothes and cleanliness that annoyed him. When Mary brought out the shoes, he lost his temper and said he was always being made to do everything he didnt want to do. But Mary said, persuasively：“Please, Tom thats_a_good_boy.”So he got into the shoes howling. Mary was soon ready, and the two children set out for Sunday school a place that Tom hated with his whole heart; but Mary was fond of it.41The first time Tom washed his face, he _.Adipped his face in the water Bpoured water on his faceCwiped his face on the towel Dmoved the towel on his face42Mary refilled the basin for Tom to wash his face, and he _.Awashed his hair as well Bdidnt wash his neckCbrushed his teeth as well Ddidnt use the soap43It can be inferred that Toms other clothes were _.Ameasured to his wardrobe Bformed into general effectCcalled his best clothes Dput to use at festivals44When Mary said “thats a good boy”， she really meant “a good boy _”Aalways dresses himself properly and neatlyBnever has curled hairCalways washes his face with waterDnever loses his temper45What will we read about next?AHow Tom hated the school.

DWhat happened at the school.BFirefighters had largely tamed a tower of flame and smoke that covered the sun and drove thousands from their homes in the foothill suburbs northeast of Los Angeles, but a week of dangerously windy wildfire conditions and a year of historic dryness meant that this fire and predictable ones to e remained a major threat.By nightfall Thursday, the wildfire that swept through about 2 1/2 square miles of brush in the San Gabriel Mountains and destroyed five homes early in the day had its progress stopped and was 30 percent contained. More than 700 firefighters were on the scene, along with 70 engines and a fleet of helicopters and air tankers dropping water and retardant (阻化剂)But the National Weather Service said a redflag warning of extreme fire danger in effect much of the week would remain in place until Friday evening because of low humidity and the chance of the regions infamous Santa Ana winds bursting to 30 mph in the foothills and valleys.Some 3,700 people from Glendora and Azusa evacuated at the height of the fire. Glendora residents were allowed to return home Thursday evening, but homes in Azusa remained under evacuation orders. It wasnt clear how many remained empty.Fire engines would stay in all the endangered neighborhoods through the night and helicopters were available to fly after dark if it became necessary. Nighttime bursts brought a few flareups, but they remained within fire lines. Two firefighters had minor injuries and a woman trying to fight the fire near her home suffered a minor burn. Seventeen structures were damaged, including homes, garages, barns and other buildings. At least 10 renters were left homeless when the fire destroyed rental units on the historic grounds of a retreat that once was the summer land of the Singer sewing machine family. Statues of Jesus and Mary stood unharmed near the blackened ruins. However, the main, 1920s house was spared.Three men in their 20s, including a homeless man, were arrested on suspicion of irresponsibly starting the fire by tossing paper into a campfire in the Angeles National Forest, just north of Glendora. They said they were trying to keep warm and the wildfire appears to have been an accident. They could face state or federal charges.46Whats the purpose of the first paragraph?ATo introduce the topic. BTo arouse readers interest.CTo summarize the main idea. DTo share the writers opinion.47What do we know about the fire?AIt lasted a week. BIt started on a Thursday.CIt grew wilder at night.

In fact, you can exercise your brain as often as you work out your arms or abs and the results can be positive and empowering. Its helpful to think of your brain as you work out a muscle. To improve your brain, you cant simply repeat the same exercises over and over. Just as lifting a two pound weight will no longer challenge you, so will repetitive exercises such as crosswords or Sudoku. Once you master easy exercises, you must move on to harder ones in order to push your brain like your muscles to a new level.Scientists once believed that your mental abilities were fixed in adulthood. Now that studies on neuroplasticity have shown just the opposite, millions of people around the world have adopted the new practice of brain training. The most popular of these brain training products is made by the San Franciscobased Lumosity, which employs a team of inhouse neuroscientists with degrees from Stanford and UC Berkeley. Realizing that brains need more sophisticated programs and guidance to grow and change, Lumositys scientists work with an experienced team of game designers. Together theyve developed a fun, effective online brain training program that measures, tracks, and adapts to your progress so youll always be challenged. Lumositys training system and 40 games are based on wellstudied tests used in clinical neuropsychology research.In a 2013 Stanford study, a treatment group of 21 breast cancer survivors used 12 weeks of Lumosity training to work on processing speed, mental flexibility, and working memory tasks. On average, those who trained improved on tests of these abilities, pared to a group that did not train with Lumosity. There is even some firstround evidence suggesting that Lumosity may be beneficial to normal, healthy adults. In a 2011 study by Lumosity and San Francisco State University researchers, 13 people who did Lumosity training over 5 weeks improved on tests of brain performance pared to a group that did not train. On average, those who trained improved working memory scores by 10% and attention scores by 20%.Training can take just a few minutes a day, but the rewards can make a difference in many aspects of life. The goal of brain training is not to improve game scores: its to improve the underlying core abilities that those games rely on. Lumosity is one of the first and most popular brain training programs in existence. Theres a small fee to use the full product, or new users can start a free trial.51What is the best title for the passage?ABrain training can make a differenceBBrain training a new scienceCBrain training can keep you fitDBrain training an open online course52In order to improve our brain, we can _.Ado the same exercises day after dayBchallenge it with harder exercises day by dayCwork out crosswords every dayDadapt to physical change53According to the passage, what is Lumosity?AIt is a team of inhouse neuroscientists.BIt is a team of experienced game designers.CIt is an online brain training program.DIt is clinical brain training research.54In Paragraph 4, the writer gives so many figures to _.Aexplain the cause of Lumosity Bclarify the principle of LumosityCconfirm the process of Lumosity Dshow the effect of Lumosity55It seems to us that the passage is exactly _.Aan ad Ba survey Ca questionnaire Da quizDBest bikesharing cities in the world When Citi Bike rolled onto the streets of New York this Memorial Day, it was treated as a national event and even international media took notice. In advance of the launch, one blog post on Le Mondes website claimed, “Bike_share_to_conquer_America”The next major development was in Copenhagen, which introduced a coinoperated system in 1995 called Bycyklen, or “City Bike”. For 17 years, these bikes zipped through the streets of Denmarks capital until the program was shut down late last year its getting an upgrade to third generation technology.Sponsored by media giant Clear Channel, the French city of Rennes brought the next generation of bike share to the world in 1998 by replacing coin operation with card access and electronic booths. From there the technology has progressed, picking up GPS and realtime tracking along the way, and has spread throughout Western Europe and the world.According to the Bikesharing World Map, maintained by DeMaio and Russell Meddin of Bike Share Philadelphia, there are 553 bike share programs in operation worldwide and another 193 in planning or under construction. And theyre not just in Europe and North America. The worldwide leader in bikesharing, as measured by the number of bikes, is China. According to data collected by the Earth Policy Institute, 20 of the 25 largest bike share programs are Chinese. Its largest one, in the city of Wuhan, has twice the number of bikes as all of Frances shares bined.Although most of the systems share several characteristics bikes with low theft value, electronic docking stations, ranked payment scales different cities are trying different ways to make bikesharing work.Take a look at Hangzhou, China, this city of 6.2 million near Shanghai, and youll see what just may be the best bike share in the world. Although now second on the planet (and China) by size, the Hangzhou Public Bicycle system is one of the densest shares, and probably the most extensively used one, anywhere, largely because of its mixing into public transport: a single card grants access to subway, bus, ferry, taxi and bike share. Residents and tourists alike can put down a deposit of 200 Chinese yuan (about $ 33 ) and ride for an hour for free in this scenic city on the Yangtze Delta. Each additional hour is the equal of only $ 0.15 one reason why riders put in a quarter million rides a day. By 2020 its projected to have 175,000 bikes.56What does the blogger mean by the underlined part “Bike share to conquer America”？ABike share is a national event.BBike share attracts international media.CBike share is popular in America.DAmerica is a kingdom of bikes.57In 1995 citizens in the French city of Rennes can get access to bike share _.Aby putting coins into the systemBby inserting a card into the systemCby showing ID card to the boothsDby boarding the docking station58Which of the following countries has the most bikes?AAmerica.

In 1987, a captive breeding (人工养殖) program was started. Reintroduction began in 1992. Today, though it is still in serious condition, the condor is considered a textbook example of the potential of captive breeding. There are more than 320 total condors now, with around 170 of these birds surviving in the wild.Gray WolfIn America, the wolf has long been considered a threat to farm animals and human lives. The government offered rewards on the lives of wolves, and they were hunted as Public Enemy Number One. As attitudes changed since their extinction in the 1970s, captive breeding and reintroduction programs have been put in place. Land has been protected, and populations have been nursed back to health. Now, the species has been removed from the Endangered Species L
