18.Last July a German doctoral student named Matthias Weβel made a remarkable discovery.He was examining are papers of the late Swiss publisher Emil Oprecht for an essay on Arthur Koestler's switch from writing in German to writing in English at the end of the 1930s.Oprecht was a 1eft-wing know traveler who had founded his famous publishing house Europa Verlag in Zurich in 1933.and was well known for his anti-Nazi views and support for writes who were forced to flee their homes,including the young Arthur Koestler.Weβel once said,"I was looking for letters and royalty reports,because I wanted to know how many copies were printed of the first German edition of Koestkr's Spanish Testament."He failed to find the answer to his question,but while 1ooking over the Europa holdings in the Zurich Central Library he came across a puzzling entry:"Koestler,Arthur.Rubaschow:Roman.Typescript,March 1940,326pages."
This was extremely strange Weβel knew of no such novel(Roman)in Koestler's German writings.but the name Rubaschow rang a bell.Rubasehow is the hero of Koestler's novel,Darkness at Noon.weβel hardly dared think about what he had found,suspecting a sequel(续集)or perhaps a false entry,for it was well known that the original text of the novel-the last one Koesder wrote in German before he switched to English-was lost during his flight from France at the start of World War II.That was seventy-five years ago and it has never been seen since.With unease,Weβel ordered a scan,which showed a typed carbon copy,with corrections in Koestle's handwriting.The date on the title page,March 1940,was the date on which Koestler is known to have finished the novel.There was no doubt Weβel had come across a copy of the German manuscript(手稿)of Koestler's masterpiece.
32.What is Weβel's main field of research?C
A.A Swiss publisher's papers     
B.The left-wing writers.
C.Arthur Koestlefs works           
D.The publishing house.
33.How dld Weβel feel about his discovery at first?D
A.Cheerful.    
B.Nervous    
C.Satisfied.
D.Doubtfu1.
34.What do we know about Rubasehow?C
A.The title of a book            
B.A Swiss publisher.
C.A character of a novel       
D.A left-wing fellow writer.
35.Weβel ordered a scan toB.
A.find out the date of the copy  
B.make out the copy's real identity
C.cheek the errors of the copy  
D.examine Koestler's handwriting.

分析 本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了β-EL的主要研究领域是Arthur Koestlefs的作品,他们又有了新的发现.

33.D.细节理解题.根据文章weβel hardly dared think about what he had found,suspecting a sequel(续集)or perhaps a false entry可知βEL对他的发现一开始是怀疑的;故选D.

11.One moment it was quiet and calm in the forest,the next,the air was changed with tension.The elephant had heard the distant alarm calls of animals and her mood suddenly changed.I urged the elephant deeper into the forest.We sounded like a forest fire-crackling,snapping.But through all the noise came a sharp wanting cry.The elephant stopped and we heard it again-the tell-tale call of a spotted deer.
I looked the shadows of the forest.Rays of sunlight shone through tree branches,beneath which the patchwork (交错) of green plants and shadow-within-shadows would make tiger stripes (条纹) look more attractive.Apart from an occasional noise from the elephant's stomach,the forest wins silent.
Gradually,the tension slipped from our bodies.The elephant seized a nearby branch and put it into her mouth.I roached forward and gently moved my hand over the elephant's neck; there was a soft part,free of wrinkles and hairs,behind her ear.
This was my fourth time to sense the aura of the forest in Corbett,although I saw no tigers in the end.Located at the foot of the Himalayan mountains,Corbett is home to about 135 Bengal tigers,but the forest seemed to be guarding their whereabouts( 出没处),a silent reminder of their secrecy and rarity.Still,I was happy enough touching the elephant behind the ear.If I had so desperately wanted to see a tiger,I could have gone to a zoo.After all,spotting tigers mealy confirms their beauty;backing them can make you aware of something more.

33.Which of the following was a clear signal of alarm?B
A.The elephant stopped.
B.A spotted deer called.
C.The elephant seized a branch.
D.The forest was silent for a while.
34.The author begins his account of the tour in the forest mainly byA
A.describing various sounds     
B.comparing different animals
C.listing different activities      
D.introducing various plants
35.What does the underlined part"to sense the aura"most probably mean?C
A.To see the diversity.
B.To enjoy the scenery.
C.To feel the atmosphere.
D.To experience the freedom.

9.Holidaymakers who are bored with baking beaches and overheated hotel rooms head for a big igloo.Swedish businessman Nile Bergqvist is delighted with his new hotel,the world's first igloo hotel.Built in a small town in Lapland,it has been attracting lots of visitors,but soon the fun will be over.
In two weeks'time Bergqvist's ice creation will be nothing more than a pool of water."We don't see it as a big problem,"he says."We just look forward to replacing it."
Bergqvist built his first igloo in 1991for an art exhibition.It was so successful that he designed the present one,which measures roughly 200square meters.Six workmen spent more than eight weeks piling 1,000tons of snow onto a wooden base; when the snow froze,the base was removed."The only wooden thing we have left in the igloo is the front door,"he says.
After their stay,all visitors receive a survival certificate recording their success.With no windows,nowhere to hang clothes and temperatures below 0℃,it may seem more like a survival test than a relaxing hotel break."It's great fun,"Bergqvist explains,"as well as a good start in survival training."
The popularity of the igloo is beyond doubt:it is now attracting tourists from all over the world.At least 800people have stayed at the igloo this season even though there are only 10rooms."You can get a lot of people in,"explains Bergqvist."The beds are three meters wide by two meters long,and can fit at least four at a time."

32.When the writer says"the fun will be over,"in Paragraph 1,he refers to the fact thatC.
A.hotel guests will be frightened at the thought of the hard test
B.holidaymakers will soon get tired of the big igloo
C.Bergqvist's hotel will soon become a pool of water
D.a bigger igloo will replace the present one
33.According to the text,the first thing to do in building an igloo isD.
A.to gather a pool of water        
B.to pile a large amount of snow
C.to cover the ground with ice   
D.to prepare a wooden base
34.Which of the four pictures below is the closest to the igloo hotel as described inthe text?A

35We can infer from the passage thatB.
A.Bergqvist built his first igloo because he was inspired by an art exhibition
B.all visitors can get a survival certificate after the experience
C.the igloo attracts many people because it provides a relaxing hotel break
D.many people around the world are interested in trying something new.

6.It's rare that you see the words"shyness"and"leader"in the same sentence.After all,the common viewpoint is that those outgoing and sociable guys make great public speakers and excellent networkers and that those shy people are not.A survey conducted by USA Today referred to 65 percent of executives who believed shyness to be a barrier to leadership.Interestingly,the same article stresses that roughly 40 percent of leaders actually are quite shy-they're just better at adapting themselves to situational demands.Bill Gates,Warren Buffet and Charles Schwab are just a few"innies".
Unlike their outgoing counterparts who are more sensitive to rewards and risk-taking,shy people take a cautious approach to chance.Rather than the flashy chit-chat that defines social gathering,shy people listen attentively to what others say and absorb it before they speak.They're not thinking about what to say while the other person is still talking,but rather listening so they can learn what to say.Along the same lines,shy people share a common love of learning.They are intrinsically(内在地) motivated and therefore seek content regardless of achieving an outside standard.
Being shy can also bring other benefits.Remember being in school and hearing the same kids contribute,until shy little Johnny,who almost never said a word,cut in?Then what happened?Everyone turned around to look with great respect at little Johnny actually talking.This is how shy people made good use of their power of presence:they"own"the moment by speaking calmly and purposefully,which translate to a positive image.
Shyness is often related to modesty.Not to say that limelight-seekers aren't modest,but shy people tend to have an accurate sense of their abilities and achievements.As a result,they are able to acknowledge mistakes,imperfections,knowledge gaps and limitations.
Since shy people have a lower sensitivity to outside rewards than outgoing ones,they're more comfortable working with little information and sticking to their inner desires.Shy people are also more likely to insist on finding solutions that aren't primarily apparent.Don't believe me?Maybe you'll believe Albert Einstein,who once said,"It's not that I'm so smart,it's that I stay with problems longer."Obviously,finding certainty where uncertainty is typically popular is a huge plus for any successful person.
The myth that shy people are less effective leaders than their outgoing fellows is just a misunderstanding.Make wise use of your personality strengths to lead your business no matter what side of the range you fall on.
24.We can learn from Paragraph 2 thatB.
A.shy people are sensitive to rewards
B.shy people care more about content
C.outgoing people are more careful about chances
D.outgoing people consider what to learn while listening
25.The example of Johnny showsD.
A.shy people are likely to be modest
B.hardworking students speak little in public
C.some students keep silent on purpose at school
D.shy people may have an advantage in discussion
26.We can learn from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 thatA.
A.success results from devotion
B.shyness contributes to popularity
C.outside reward leads to insistence
D.uncertainty counts more than certainty
27.The author supports his ideas mainly byD.
A.giving definitions and presenting research results
B.explaining problems and providing solutions
C.quoting authorities and making evaluations
D.making contrasts and gibing examples.

3.These days,young people in some English-speaking countries are speaking a strange language,especially when communicating on social media.
Look at these words chosen by The Washington Post:"David Bowie dying is totes tradge,"and"When Cookie hugged Jamal it made me totes emosh."Or this sentence:"BAE,let me know if you stay in tonight."
What on earth do they mean?Well,"totes"is a short form of"totally".Similarly,"tradge"means"tragic"and"emosh"means"emotional".It seems that,for millennials(千禧一代),typing in this form is not only time-saving but fashionable.
As you can see,many millennial slangs(俚语)are formed by so-called"totesing"-the systematic abbreviation(缩写)of words.The trend might have started with"totally"becoming"totes",but it now has spread to many other English words.
The origins of other millennial slangs are more complex than"totesing"."Bae",for example,has been widely used by African-Americans for years.It can be an expression of closeness with one's romantic partner or,like"sweetheart",for someone without romantic connection.After pop singer Pharrell used the word in his work,"bae"became mainstream.
Some people might think millennial slangs lower the value of the English language,but Melbourne University linguist(语言学家)Rosey Billington doesn't agree.She says when people are able to use a language in a creative way,they show that they know the language rules well enough to use words differently.Two other linguists,Lauren Spradlin and Taylor Jones,share the same view.The two analysed hundreds of examples of totes-speak and discovered totesing has complex roots.
    It isn't simply an adult version of baby talk,nor a clever way to minimize your word count.Rather,it is a highly organized system that relies on a speaker's mastery of English pronunciation.It is about sounds,follows sound system of English and has strict rules.
28.Why do young people like using e-slangs?B
A.They are time-consuming.
B.They are in fashion.
C.They are complex.
D.They are in order.
29.What's the author's purpose of mentioning"Bae"in Paragraph 5?D
A.To support that totesing is no baby talk.
B.To analyse the usage of millennial slangs.
C.To inform people how it became mainstream.
D.To explain the complex origins of millennial slangs.
30.Which statement may Rosey Billington agree with?D
A.Totesing is a loosely organized system.
B.Millennial slangs lower the value of English.
C.It's simply a clever way to reduce the word count.
D.Totes-speak requires a good command of English.
31.What's the best title of the passage?A
A.E-slangs Catch on Among Youth           
B.Linguists Disapprove of Totesing
C.Millennial Slangs Take the Lead         
D.English Has Greatly Changed.

7.Using a Cellphone to Improve Your English
When students think of learning a foreign language,the first thought is books,exercises,and recorder-tapes.Those are important to learning but sometimes a little bit boring.(36)E
Things like a cellphone can keep your interest level high.(37)A You have it with you day after day,you are familiar with how it works and you can use it to practice English whenever you have time.You don't need to have your books by your side or stay in your room to listen to tapes.Let's take a look at how to add your cellphone to your study tools.
(38)FGo to the menu,find settings,locate language and Change it to English,which benefits your language learning.
Look at the buttons and connect those items with the new vocabulary.This enables you to master simple words and phrases with little effort.For example,each time you you're your cellphone,you'11see"messages","games''and"calls made".(39)G
When you have time,take out your cellphone and start hitting buttons.You'11be surprised at all the vocabulary you can learn by playing with the different menu items.Some things you'1l recognize immediately.(40)D It can keep your learning fresh and interesting.And that's important because boredom is a big problem with language learners.You need changes and cellphone is one way to get it.

A.It's a perfect study material.
B.Cellphones are not allowed in classrooms.
C.Books and tapes are useful for your English study.
D.And others you can guess just by where you find them.
E.Therefore.it is time for us to make things a bit interesting.
F.Set up your cellphone to use the language you want to study.
G.These words begin to take root if you see them again and again.
