15.Can dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home?People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight.A recent research has found a new recipe of success.According to the study,if the cat is adopted before the dog,and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6months for cats,a year or dogs),it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimminly.Two-third of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.
However,it wasn't all sweetness and light.There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes,while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes.One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite.For example,when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression,while a dog doing the same signals submission.
In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully,researchers observed a surprising behavior.They are learning how to talk each other's language.It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk‘dog'and dogs can learn how to talk‘Cat'.
What's interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence.They can learn how to read each other's body signals,suggesting that the two may have more in common than we previously suspected.Once familiar with each other's presence and body language,cats and dogs can play together,greet each other nose to nose,and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa.They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other.
The significance of the research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets─to people who don't get along,including neighbors,colleagues at work,and even world superpowers.If cats and dogs can learn to get along,surely people have a good chance.
25.Some cats and dogs may fight whenA.
A.they misunderstood each other's signals
B.they look away from each other
C.they are cold to each other
D.they are introduced at an early age
26.What is found surprising about cats and dogs?B
A.They eat and sleep each other.
B.They learn to speak each other's language.
C.They observe each other's behaviors.
D.They know something from each other's voices.
27.It is suggested in Paragraph 4that cats and dogsC.
A.have common interests
B.have a common body language
C.a(chǎn)re less different than was thought
D.a(chǎn)re less intelligent than was expected
28.What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?C
A.We should live in peace with animals.
B.We should know more about animals.
C.We should learn to live in harmony.
D.We should learn more body languages.

5.How do people traditionally manufacture (制造) things?They usually start with a sheet of metal,wood or other material and cut,drill (鉆) and shave it to create a desired shape.Sometimes,they use a mold (模具) made of metal or sand,pour liquid plastic or metal into it and let it cool to create a solid part.
   Now,a completely different method is gaining popularity.
   On Oct.9,2013,London Science Museum kicked off its new exhibition,3-D:Printing the Future,with over 600 3-D printed objects on display,including space probes (探測器),toy dolls and even human organs-basically any product you can think of,reported Live Science.
   You might find it hard to believe that an object can actually be"printed out"like a picture.But it is not that hard to understand how it works.Just as a traditional printer sprays (噴灑) ink onto paper line by line,modern 3-D printers spread material onto a surface layer by layer,from the bottom to the top,gradually building up a shape.
   Instead of ink,the materials the 3-D printer uses are mainly plastic,resin (樹脂) and certain metals.The thinner each layer is-from a millimeter to less than the width of a hair-the smoother and finer the object will be.And objects always come out in one piece,sparing you the trouble of putting different parts together afterward.
   For example,10 years ago a desktop 3-D printer might have cost£20,000 (200,000 yuan),while now it costs only about£1,000,according to the BBC.In fact,3-D printers have been around for some time,but until recently they hadn't been very popular since few people could afford them.Last year,though,saw a big decrease in the price of 3-D printers.
   However,as 3-D printing technology becomes more commonplace,it may trigger certain problems.One of them is piracy (盜版)."Once you can download a coffee maker,or print out a new set of kitchen utensils (餐具) on your personal 3-D printer,who will visit a retail (零售的) store again?"an expert on 3-D printing told Forbes News.
   Even more frightening,the world's first 3-D printed gun was successfully fired in the US in May of this year,which means that 3-D printing could potentially give more people access to weapons.
64.According to the article,in the future,3-D printing technology will probablyA.
A.change the way people make products
B.be applied as widely in our daily lives as computers
C.forbid many countries to make purchases of weapons
D.take the place of normal printers and save lots of energy
65.What was the big event that happened in the 3-D printing industry last year?D
A.Over 600 3-D printed objects were on display in an exhibition.
B.3-D printing technology came to be used in various fields.
C.Th e world's first 3-D printed gun was successfully made.
D.The 3-D printer became more affordable for consumers.
66.What is the author's attitude toward 3-D printing technology?B
A.Amused.B.Objective.C.Supportive.D.Negative.

6.Every week in China,millions of people will sit in front of their TVs watching teenagers compete for the title Character Hero,which is a Chinese-style spelling bee(拼寫大賽).In this challenge,young competitors must write Chinese characters by hand.To prepare for the competition,the competitors usually spend months studying dictionaries.
Perhaps the show's popularity should not be a surprise.Along with gunpowder and paper,many Chinese people consider the creation of Chinese calligraphy(書法)to be one of their primary contributions to civilization.Unfortunately,all over the country,Chinese people are forgetting how to write their own language without computerized help.Software on smart phones and computers allows users to type in the basic sound of the word using the Latin alphabet.The correct character is chosen from a list.The result?It's possible to recognize characters without remembering how to write them.
But there's still hope for the paint brush.China's Education Ministry wants children to spend more time learning how to write.
In one Beijing primary school we visited,students practice calligraphy every day inside a specially decorated classroom with traditional Chinese paintings hanging on the walls.Soft music plays as a group of six-year-olds dip brush pens into black ink.They look up at the blackboard often to study their teacher's examples before carefully attempting to reproduce those characters on thin rice paper."If adults can survive without using handwriting,why bother to teach it now?"we ask the calligraphy teacher,Shen Bin."The ability to write characters is part of Chinese tradition and culture,"she reasons."Students must learn now so they don't forget when they grow up."says the teacher.

28.What can we learn about the Character Hero?B
A.It's open to people of all ages and all walks.
B.It draws great public attention across the country.
C.It aims to spread Chinese culture to the world.
D.It's the most-viewed TV programs in China.
29.Why are Chinese people forgetting how to write the characters?C
A.Chinese people don't refer to dictionaries very often.
B.Chinese people no longer use brush pens or practice calligraphy.
C.Chinese people needn't write by hand as often with the help of technology.
D.Chinese people are using the Latin alphabet instead of the characters.
30.According to Shen Bin,being able to write characters by hand isC.
A.necessary for adults to survive in China
B.a(chǎn) requirement made by the Education Ministry
C.helpful to keep Chinese tradition and culture alive
D.a(chǎn)n ability to be developed only when you are students
31.Where does this text probably come from?D
A.A science report.B.Children's literature.C.An advertisement.D.A news report.

20.Want to be a great doctor or scientist?Make sure you play video games.New research shows that certain video games can help people find things better and faster.
For instance,if a doctor is looking for something on an X-ray,or if a scientist is looking at a satellite image,they may be able to do it better if they've been"trained"by playing video games.Certain video games,like driving games,can improve a person's"visual search skills".That's the ability to see something that's hidden in the middle in a confusing field of things.
Researchers at the University of Toronto studied three groups of people:20people who played a shooting game called Medal of Honor,20people who played the driving game Need for Speed,and 20people who played a puzzle game called Balance.
"The people who played the shooting and the driving games became faster and more accurate at searching for things.The people who played the puzzle game did not improve their ability to find things faster,"said Sijing Wu,the lead author of the study.
Researchers also compared video game players with people who didn't play video games on three visual search tasks.They found that the experienced players were better.
"We have shown that playing a driving game can produce the same benefits as playing a shooting game,"said Wu."This could be very important in situations where we wish to train people to improve them.Driving games are likely to be more acceptable than shooting games because of the lower levels of violence.And young kids are not encouraged to play any violent video games."
29."Visual search skills"refer to the ability toD
A.design new video games
B.do science research successfully
C.prevent something from being known by others
D.find something among many things in confusing fields
30.We can infer from the passage thatB
A.someone who plays video games performs better at school
B.playing video games may also be a kind of training
C.no one can tell who will succeed finally in a game
D.it's very easy to learn to play video games
31.In this passage,the author mainly wants to tell usB
A.the newly developed video games
B.the positive side of playing video games
C.the troubles caused by playing video games
D.the necessity of giving up playing video games.

7.Five Ways to Build Self-Confidence
Walk Faster.
One of the easiest ways to tell how a person feels about herself is to examine her walk.People with confidence walk quickly.They have places to go,people to see,or important work to do.Even if you aren't in a hurry,you can increase your self-confidence by putting some energy in your step.(36)B
(37)FOne of the best ways to build confidence is listening to an inspiring speech.Unluckily,chances to listen to a great speaker are few.You can fill this need by creating a personal speech.Write a 30~60-second speech that focuses on your strengths and goals then recite it aloud whenever you need a confidence push.
Sit in the Front Row.
In school,offices and some other public places people always sit at the back of the room,(38)A This is for lack of self-confidence.By deciding to sit in the front row,you can get over this meaningless fear and build your self-confidence.
Speak up.
During group discussions many people never express their opinions because they're afraid that people will judge them for their saying something stupid.(39)GBy making an effort to express your opinions at least once in every group discussion,you'll become a better public speaker,more confident in your own thoughts.
Along the same lines as personal appearance,physical fitness has huge effect on self-confidence.(40)D By making your body fit and strong,you improve your physical appearance,refresh yourself,and learn something positive.
A.Most people prefer that because they're afraid of being noticed.
B.Walking 25% faster will make you look and feel more important.
C.In fact most people feel good after a walk.
D.If you're out of shape,you'll feel unattractive and less energetic.
E.Listen to an Inspiring Speech.
F.Create a Personal Speech.
G.In fact most people are dealing with the same fear.

4.True happiness lies in rewarding relationships,not material wealth,according to new research.Scientists have said that a close circle of friends and family is most important for happiness,and that owning things such as iPhones,computers,being wealthy and owning a sports ear do not provide the same level of satisfaction.
The study was done by psychologists at the Sahlgrenska Academy and Lund University,in Sweden.The experts analyzed articles in Swedish newspapers published in 2016and recorded which words most often occurred in the same articles as the Swedish word for happiness.In this way,they could know our common happiness.
Co-author Dr Danilo Garcia,a researcher at the Sahlgrenska Academy's Center for Ethics,Law and Mental Health,said,"It's relationships that are most important,not material things that we possess,and this is in line with other findings in happiness research."
The study,which contained more than l.5 million words,showed that terms such as"grandmother"and personal pronouns such as"you","me","us"and"them"often emerge in the same article as the Swedish word for happiness.Researchers found that words such as"iPhone","millions"and"Google"almost never appear with the word"happiness".
The study is a part of a larger research project on how people describe both positive and negative events in their lives.The researchers believe that the word analysis reflects a common perception among the members of our society as to what should make us happy.Dr Danilo Garcia said,"Just as the Beatles sang,most people understand that money can't buy you happiness or love.But even if we can understand the importance of close and warm relationships at a social level,it isn't certain that everyone is aware that such relationships are actually necessary for our own personal happiness."

51.New research mainly shows thatD.
A.various things can lead to happiness in people
B.having some close friends is very important to us
C.owning expensive things can actually make us happy
D.rewarding relationships make us happy instead of material wealth
52.How did the experts arrive at their findings?C
A.By doing surveys.
B.By doing experiments.
C.By analyzing printed articles.
D.By referring to previous studies.
53.What Dr Danilo Garcia in Paragraph 3 shows that the new findingsD.
A.explain something new
B.a(chǎn)re unbelievable to many people
C.prove material things are unimportant
D.confirm previous findings in happiness research
54.What does the underlined word"emerge"in Paragraph 4mean?A
A.Appear.B.Spread.C.Start.D.Unite.
55.Dr Danilo Garcia doubts whetherD.
A.money really buys us happiness or love
B.rewarding relationships really lead to personal happiness
C.close and warm relationships are important at a social level
D.a(chǎn)ll people know rewarding relationships lead to personal happiness.
