I’m tired and covered in dust. I’ve been digging all day and I’ll be doing the same tomorrow. Sound awful, doesn’t it ? But I’ve never had so many fun in my life. As an archaeology student, I have already knew something about the Qin Tomb and the terracotta warriors. Most Chinese children can tell you Qin Shihuang was the emperor first unified China. He was a brilliant ruler, and he was also a cruel man who killed thousands of people. When he became the king of the state, he immediately ordered workers to construct an underground tomb for him, which is said to contain great treasures. But, the actual entrance to the tomb has ever been found, nor has the tomb been opened. There are ancient descriptions of crossbows hiding at the tomb’s entrance. It’s said that if everyone steps across the entrance, the crossbows will fire.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项 （A 、B 、C 和 D ）中 ，选出最佳选项。
The sharing economy has grown in recent years to include everything from apartment sharing to car sharing to community tool sharing. Since 2009,a new form of sharing economy has been emerging in neighborhoods throughout the US and around the world—Little Free Libraries. The libraries are boxes placed in neighborhoods where residents(居民) can take out and leave books. Little Free Libraries come in all shapes and sizes. Some libraries also have themes, focusing on books for children, adults, or tour guides.
In 2009,Tod Bol built the first Little Free Library as a gift to his mother, a devoted reader. When he saw the people of his community gathering around it, exchanging conversations as well as books, he knew he wanted to take his simple idea further. “I think Little Free Libraries open the door to conversations we want to have with each other.” Bol said.
Since then, his idea has become a movement, spreading from state to state and country to country. According to Little Free Library. org, there are now 18,000 of the little structures around the world, located in each of the 50 US states and 70 countries in Europe, Africa and Asia.
The Internet has helped to spread Little Free Libraries. But an Atlantic article says the little structures serve as a cure for a world of e-reader downloads. The little wooden boxes are refreshingly physical and human. For many people, the sense of discovery is Little Free Libraries’ main appeal. “A girl walking home from school might pick up a graphic novel that gets her excited about reading; a man on his way to the bus stop might find a volume of poetry that changes his outlook on life,” says the Atlantic article. “Every book is a potential source of inspiration.”
1.How do Little Free Libraries get their books?
A. Citizens shared them. B. Tod Bol donated them.
C. US government provided them. D. The communities bought them.
2.Why did Tod Bol want to build more Little Free Libraries?
A. He wanted to promote his idea worldwide.
B. He was inspired by the sharing economy.
C. They can offer neighbors more chances to talk.
D. They are a gift to please his mother.
3.According to the Atlantic article , Little Free Libraries _________.
A. help cut down on e-reading
B. benefit the spread of the Internet
C. promote e-reader downloads
D. call on human to care about each other
4.Little Free Libraries attract readers most in that .
A. they connect strangers together
B. they are located all over the world
C. they are in various shapes and sizes
D. they may give readers a sense of discovery

As I walked along the Edgware Road, I felt as though the world was closing in on me. All the sounds I take for granted, had gone. I had entered a world of silence. This unsettling experience occurred a few weeks ago when I agreed to go deaf for the day to support the work of the charity Hearing Dogs for Deaf People, for which I am an ambassador.
When I managed to take a cab to the office of my manager, Gavin, I couldn’t hear what the taxi driver was saying to me. Conversation was impossible. Then, when I reached the office, I had to ring the intercom five times as I couldn’t hear a response.
Everybody said I was shouting at them--- I simply wasn’t aware of how loudly I was speaking as I couldn’t hear my own voice. Gavin kept telling me my phone was ringing, but I didn’t realize. I was too busy trying to concentrate on reading his lips. And when he tried to tell me a code to put into my phone, I had to keep asking him to repeat it, more slowly. Eventually he lost his patience and snapped at me: “Just give me the phone!” I was shocked.
People couldn’t be bothered to repeat themselves, so they kept trying to do things for me that I was perfectly capable of doing myself. I felt I’d lost control.
Being deaf for the day was extraordinarily tiring. I had to work so hard to “listen” with my eyes, get people’s attention and use my other senses to make up for my lack of hearing. It was a huge, exhausting effort.
Until that experience I didn’t realize how much I took my own hearing for granted, or the sorts of emotions and experiences deaf people go through. If a deaf person asks you to repeat something, never think: “It doesn’t matter.” It does matter.
1.Why did the author focus on reading Gavin’s lips?
A. By doing this he could understand what Gavin was saying.
B. He wanted to be aware of what the code was.
C. He attempted to get the code into the phone by himself.
D. He didn’t want to bother Gavin to repeat what he was saying.
2.What advice does the author give in the passage?
A. Speak at the top of your voice if you can’t hear others speaking.
B. Repeat things as slowly as possible for the deaf.
C. Take your own hearing for granted.
D. Do as many things as possible for the deaf.
3.What can be inferred from the passage?
A. It’s boring to live in a world of silence.
B. The author has to use gestures to communicate with his friends.
C. There are many other ways to help the deaf understand others.
D. Many ordinary people just take hearing for granted until they lose it.
4.What can be the best title of the passage?
A. Helping the Deaf with More Patience
B. Don’t Take Your Hearing for Granted
C. Listening with Eyes
D. The Importance of Reading Lips

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
Tokyo University laboratory has developed a robot that never loses at the game of Rock Paper Scissors. That is because its visual processing abilities and fingers work together faster than any human brain. A video of the undefeated robot has been watched by more than 3 million viewers on YouTube since going online at the end of June.
Tokyo University engineering professor Masatoshi Ishikawa has a good-natured response to frustrated human losers who accuse him of essentially creating a robot that cheats. “It is not cheating. Every one millisecond the image processor decides and recognizes the shape the human hand is going to make. And then the robot can make a winnable shape one millisecond later than a human being. Only one millisecond, but a human cannot see this difference because the human eye is very slow,” explained Ishikawa.
At the Ishikawa Oku Laboratory there has been amazing progress which shows the near perfect accuracy of robotics. Such as a robot that can catch a falling egg without breaking it, another one that can tie a knot, and a robot that may not be quite ready for the NBA, but is able to dribble (连击) a ball.
In sports such as baseball and cricket, the misses outnumber (比……多) successes for even the most skilled athletes. That is not so in this award-winning school laboratory. For instance, an intelligent robot is the result of five years of research and a lot of trial and error. And the cost of just one finger on the robot is equal to that of a mini car.
The technology obviously has uses beyond fun and games. Corporations are eager to take advantage of the lab’s technology for industrial and other practical uses. And there is talk of applying it to assist disabled people and improve human capabilities.
1.What brings the robot so much attention on the YouTube?
A. It never loses in the game against humans.
B. Its eyes and fingers can work at the same time.
C. It can do anything whatever people tell it to do.
D. It plays online games much better than any human.
2.Ishikawa’s explanation suggests that the robot .
A. proves to be dishonest
B. is lucky to win the game
C. works slower sometimes
D. responds faster than humans
3.What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A. The school laboratory is the world first class.
B. The research of robot can’t afford failures.
C. The most skilled athletes seldom fail in sports.
D. Intelligent robots are mostly used in ball games.
4.Which section of a website is the text probably taken from?
A. Sports and games.
B. Human and society.
C. Science and technology.
D. Relaxation and entertainment.

How to Improve Eyesight Naturally
Eyes are important for everybody. You must take care and try everything in your hand to keep them in good condition. Here are some of the tips to improve your eyesight naturally.
1.
Strain is known to be a factor in many health conditions and eyestrain is no exception. Try meditation, yoga or other methods of stress relief to improve your vision and overall health.
Try palming.
Sit upright in a comfortable chair. 2. Cup your hands so that there is no pressure on your eyes. Let your fingers rest across your forehead. There should be no light entering your eyes. Palming should be done for a period of 5 to 10 minutes to start. Palming should be relaxing. It may help to do palming in a darkened room.
Avoid sugar as much as possible.
3. It will unpleasantly affect your eyesight, which affects the eyes by producing a larger amount of insulin (胰岛素) in the blood. Therefore you shouldn't be having much fruit juice or something that contains a lot of sugar.
Exercise your eyes.
The only exercise most eyes get is that daily rubbing we give them when we're tired or suffering from eyestrain. But eye exercises are actually good for your eyes and can improve your vision. 4. Blink as fast as you can for a few seconds then close your eyes tightly, open and repeat. Do this exercise 3 to 4 times daily.
Eat healthy.
You probably hear that statement all the time but eating the right foods are necessary to good health. 5. Foods that are high in fiber, vitamin C, D and beta carotene as well as other vitamins and minerals can help improve your vision. Here are a few foods that can be beneficial to good vision: carrots, eggs, blueberries, spinach, kale, grapes, and fresh garlic.
A. Reduce eyestrain.
B. Keep your eyes moist.
C. Sugar is your eye's worst enemy.
D. Give your eyes a workout with the following exercise.
E. You may not be aware that your diet affects your vision but it does.
F. Close eyes and cover them with the palms of your hands.
G. Be sure to get plenty of sleep so your eyes don't strain to stay open during the day.

Does this situation seem familiar to you? Your English is progressing well, the grammar is now familiar, the reading comprehension is no problem, and you are speaking quite fluently. 1. .
First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening is probably the most difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. The most important thing is to listen as often as possible. 2. . The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download The RealPlayer from RealMedia.com. The RealPlayer allows you to use the Internet like a radio station.
Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated by limited understanding. 3. .
Here is some of the advice I give my students:
●Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.
●Stay relaxed when you do not understand, and try listening to the material for more times.
● Do not translate everything into your native language.
●4. . Don’t concentrate on details before you have understood the main ideas.
● Listen to something you enjoy.
I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany. In the beginning, when I didn’t understand a word, I insisted on translating it in my mind. This method usually resulted in confusion. 5. . Firstly, translating creates a barrier between the listener and the speaker. Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly. By remaining calm, I noticed that even if I did not pay much attention I could usually understand what the speaker had said.
A. What should you do?
B. Listen for the general idea of the conversation.
C. But you can’t follow a native English speaker at all!
D. But listening is a problem for most of the beginners!
E. So, what you need to do is to find listening resources.
F. However, after several weeks, I got used to the new environment in Germany.
G.Then, after the first six months, I discovered two extremely important facts
