12.Visitors to Denmark will probably come across an unusual statue(雕像) that is not of a president or war hero.It's statue of a young woman with the the tail of a fish-a mermaid(美人魚)-and it celebrates one of Denmark's most beloved writers,Hans Christian Anderson.His name may not be immediately recognizable,but his stories such as The Ugly Duckling,The Emperor's New Clothes,and of course,The Little Mermaid are appreciated around the world.
Anderson was born in 1805,and like the characters in some of his stories,his experiences weren't always perfect.He worked as an actor and singer before taking up writing.He finally found success by using his imagination,and his works began to be noticed.He wrote different kinds of stories and poems; although today,he is most famous for his fairy tales(童話).The simple stories are amusing because they all have strong characters and positive message.
The Ugly Duckling is one of his popular fairy tales.One young duckling is noticeably different from the rest of its brothers and sisters.So it is often laughed at by them.The duckling is sad and wishes it could one day fly away with swans(天鵝) it sees flying overhead.Finally,after the duckling ages a bit,it realizes that it is not actually a duckling at all.It is a swan,and now that it has grown up and is beautiful,it flies away joyfully to join its kind.This story is often told to young children so that they won't worry about being different or getting laughed at by other kids.
There are many other great Hans Christian Anderson stories,such as The Princess and the Pea and The Snow Queen.It's never too late in life to read a new fairy tale.

17.閱讀下面短文,在空白處填入1個適當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~或括號內(nèi)單詞的正確形式.
SmilingSmile is a universal language,which is widely used throughout the world.(61)However,the meaning of a smile in different cultures may be different.Depending on different cultures,smiling can express joy and (62)amusement(amuse),but it can also indicate embarrassment.The following examples show this point of view:
In an attempt to be open and (63)friendly(friend),people in the United States smile a lot.Every one smiles at each other and this nonverbal communication shows being polite in the United States.But in China,smiling is not only (64)an expression of happiness,but also a way to avoid(65)being (be) embarrassed.Chinese people like smiling when they are embarrassed in order to avoid embarrassment.Smiling is a kind of good will but not sneer (嘲笑).For example:When a child (66)falls(fall) off from a bike,the adults in China may smile,(67)which is a kind of gentle encouragement and may not be a kind of impolite laugh.
Related(68)to the smile is the laugh.Also,different cultures have different(69)meanings(meaning) about laugh.Americans can enjoy a very heartfelt belly (腹部) laugh that comes from the deepest emotions while most Chinese may think(70)it/it's silly to laugh that way.

7.One of the blue whales,the largest animal alive today,has been caught making an appropriately big journey through the South Pacific.The whale was first recorded near the Galapa gos Island,west of Costa Rica.Years later,that same whale was photographed off the coast of Chile in South America,a new study reports.The two places are separated by some 5,200 Kilometers (3,200miles),which means it swam farther than the distance between New York and Los Angeles.
Scientists reported the whale's mammothjourney on June 11 in"Marine Mammal Science".
Blue whales are surprisingly difficult to study because they are found in all the world's oceans but live in deep waters.Moreover,the species nearly died out as a result of hunting a century ago.Populations are recovering thanks to the laws,but because there are so few of the animals,this speci es is still considered endangered.
To aid the species'recovery,scientists need to know more about where they travel,explains study leader Juan Pablo Torres-Florez.He is a whale researcher at Austral University of Chile in Valdivia.Understanding the whales'mi grations could help guide protection measures,he says.
In 1998,a group of scientists surveyed blue whales in the waters off islands known as the Gala pagos (Gah-LOP-ah-GOES) where they photographed the whales they saw.And,without hurting the animals,they also collected samples of some of the whales'meat which let them later look at the animals'DNA.A different group of scientists collected similar data from whales off the coast of Chile from 2002 to 2013.
To make the comparison job easier,scientists focus on the area around a whale's fin(鰭),which is on its back."Comparing those patterns we are able to identify if a whale is the same one we saw in different places or if the same whale is sighted during different years in the same place,"he says.
One whale showed up in the Gala pagos on November 6,1998,among a group of nine animals.It appeared again in Chile on February 23,2006.The photographs and the DNA matched.The whale was nicknamed"Isabela,"a combination of Torres-Florez's daughter and the island near which it was sighted.The whale's journey was at least 5,200 kilometers(3,200miles).That makes it the longest north-south journey ever recorded for a member of her species.
28.The underlined word"mammoth"is the nearest in meaning toB.
A.driven     B.huge     C.mysterious    D.natural
29.What do you know about the species of blue whale?C
A.They live in deep waters,so they can survive.
B.They have fins on the back so that they can be recognized.
C.They weren't protected effectively 100 years ago.
D.They were driven to the shallow sea and nearly died out.
30.The researchers have managed to get the species'DNAD.
A.form the whale named Isabela
B.by catching whale from the sea
C.to study which species it belongs to
D.using methods friendly to the whales
31.The study leader is Juan Pablo Torres-Florez,A.
A.who recorded the longest journey of blue whales
B.who got the whales'DNA in 1998
C.who first recognized blue whales'back fins
D.who uses the fingerprint to recognize blue whales.

17.One of the first things you will notice about Britain is that they drive on the left,and the steering wheel is on the right.This causes a strange feeling,but driving on the left is not as unusual as you might think; about a quarter of the countries in the world drive on the left.Most of them are former British colonies like Australia,Sou th Africa,and Ireland,but Thailand,Japan and Indonesia also do so.This driving habit is strange to us,but there is a perfectly good reason for it:up till the late eighteenth century,everybody traveled on the left-hand side of the road because it was the best way for mostly right-handed people to protect themselves in violent societies.So when strangers passed the road,they walk on the left to make sure that their sword arm was between them.
After the French revolution in 1789,however,the French government changed sides as part of a great social reorganization.Later,Napoleon,the ruler of France,spread the change to the rest of the continental Europe.He did this because he was left-handed himself,and he wanted his armies to march on the right so that he could keep his left arm between himself and any enemy.From then on,any part of the world which became part of the British Empire marched on the left,and any part controlled by the French marched on the right.
After the American Revolutionary War (1775-1783),the US became independent and decided to make traffic drive on the right in order to cut its ties with Britain.Once America became the center of the car industry,if you wanted a good car,you bought an American-made right-hand drive vehicles.From then on many countries changed out of necessity.
Today,the EU would like Britain to be the same as the rest of Europe,but this is no longer possible.It would cost billions of pounds to change everything round.The last European country to convert to driving on the right was Sweden in 1967,but there were far fewer cars there,and the population was much smaller.
21.Why did people travel on the left before the late 18th century?A
A.They could be safer from attacks.
B.The government required them to do so.
C.There were more left-handed people back then.
D.They could prevent strangers passing by their left side.
22.What was Napoleon's attitude to walking on the left?C
A.Negative.B.Indifferent.
C.Supportive.D.Uncertain.
23.For Americans,driving on the right was a way to showD.
A.the connection with France was broken
B.the American Revolutionary War had ended
C.America was the center of the car industry
D.the US was no longer controlled by the UK
24.The underlined phrase"convert to"in the last paragraph meansC.
A.insist on                              B.give up
C.change into                            D.disagree with.

4.Have you ever felt that you want more friends?Have you found that you don't know how to make friends?Don't worry.It's easier than it looks.
Start with smal actions.If you're uncomfortable with long conversations with people,start by just saying"hi"and asking what the person is doing.Even if you do more listening than talking in the beginning,people will usually still like you.When it comes to conversations,remember"F.O.R.".It stands for family,occupation(職業(yè)) and recreation
(休閑).You are most likely to be asked about these three topics when you meet someone new.Most people feel comfortable talking about the three topics.The great thing is that you also can communicate with someone new in these three areas.
Honesty is the best policy.In friendship,"honesty"is the basic quality that one must have.One should always be honest with his or her friends.Don't laugh at people's fault.Praise them honestly and openly.Say you are sorry if you hurt your friend.
Give more than you take.Be there when they need you,Encourage them; we all need encouragement now and then.Encourage their dreams.Life seems meaningless without them.Wish your friends good luck.Examine your purpose before you"help out".Love and never forget them.

A.easy       B.difficult      C.funny    Dinteresting
