【题目】Maps of the world’s population show that the majority of people today live near water. 【1】We also vacation at the beach and find comfort fishing on a lake. Nothing makes small children happier than the chance of playing in water. More interesting, this human favor for water makes evolutionary sense. 【2】
Neuroscientist(神经系统科学家) Michael Crawford of the University of North London has proposed that our ancient ancestors attached to the sea, and that their devotion paid off by allowing the human species to develop large and complex brains. Crawford claims that when humans separated from apes and appeared in the forests of Africa, they stuck close to rivers and beaches and started catching fish and crabs.【3】
It's no coincidence, Crawford claims, that human brain growth began to increase rapidly once we left the woods and headed for the beach.
【4】Psychiatrist(精神病学家)and biochemist Joseph Hibbelin of National Institutes of Health has shown that across cultures there is direct link between amount of fish eaten each week and rates of depression. More interesting, Hibbelin and researcher Laura Reis have found that fish is commonly used as a symbol of happiness and good health in various religions and cultures.
【5】We vacation on the coast and see the waves come and go, feeling happiness has taken over our brain. When we move inland, or go home from vacation, we lose touch with our sea roots and feel unhappy.
A. Sure, we need drinking water to live, but we have also benefited from what’s swimming under waves.
B. We know that fish and the sea are good for us, and we seek them out.
C. We live along coastlines, around bays, up the course of rivers and streams and on islands.
D. Scientists help people overcome depression.
E. Scientists have also discovered that people who eat fish regularly are less likely to suffer from depression than those who eat less seafood.
F. It is good for our health to swim under the waves.
G. That sea food was packed with omega-3 fatty acids, essential fatty acids that promote brain cell growth.

【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
Watching some children trying to catch butterflies one hot August afternoon, I was reminded of an incident in my own childhood.When I was a boy of 12 in South Carolina, something happened to me that cured me forever of wanting to put any wild creature in a cage.
We lived on the edge of a wood, and every evening at dusk the mockingbirds would come and rest in the trees and sing. There isn't a musical instrument made by man that can produce a more beautiful sound than the song of the mockingbird.
I decided that I would catch a young bird and keep it in a cage and in that way would have my own private musician.
I finally succeeded in catching one and put it in a cage. At first, in its fright at being captured, the bird fluttered about the cage, but eventually it settled down in its new home. I felt very pleased with myself and looked forward to some beautiful singing from my tiny musician.
I had left the cage out on our back porch, and on the second day of the bird's captivity my new pet's mother flew to the cage with food in her mouth. The baby bird ate everything she brought to it. I was pleased to see this. Certainly the mother knew better than I how to feed her baby.
The following morning when I went to see how my captive(被俘虏的) was doing, I discovered it on the floor of the cage, dead. I was shocked! What had happened! I had taken excellent care of my little bird, or so I thought.
Arthur Wayne, the famous ornithologist, happened to be visiting my father at the time, hearing me crying over the death of my bird, explained what had occurred. “A mother mockingbird, finding her young in a cage, will sometimes bring it poison berries. She thinks it better for her young to die than to live in captivity.”
Never since then have I caught any living creature and put it in a cage. All living creatures have a right to live free.
(1)Why did the writer catch a mockingbird when he was a boy of 12?
A.He had just got a new cage.
B.He liked its beautiful feather.
C.He wanted it to sing for him.
D.He wanted a pet for a companion.
(2)The mockingbird died because it ______.
A.was frightened to death
B.ate the poisonous food its mother gave it
C.refused to eat anything
D.drank the poisonous water by mistake
(3)An ornithologist probably means ______.
A.a religious person
B.a kind person
C.a schoolmaster
D.an expert in birds
(4)What is the most important lesson the writer learned from the incident?
A.Freedom is very valuable to all creatures.
B.All birds put in a cage won't live long.
C.You should keep the birds from their mother.
D.Be careful about food you give to baby birds.

Save Your Time, Money and Stress with Savvy (懂行,悟性)Rental Car Strategies
Renting a car can be expensive, confusing, and stressful — but it doesn't have to be. Here are several helpful strategies to save money, time, and stress on your next (and every) car rental.
Sign Up for Loyalty Programs
Rental car loyalty programs are free to join, so register for any programs you might use in the future. My favorite car rental loyalty program benefit is that I can skip the counter and head right to my reserved car. Some programs allow members to choose a car from the available pool.
Optimize Your Strategy
Do you really need a rental car from the airport? For instance, if your flight arrives at night, take a free hotel shuttle and pick up your car the next day. The car rental location might even be at your hotel or can pick you up (or deliver the car to you).
For a city trip, you may not even need a rental car. Research whether mass transit(运输), taxi, Uber, bike rental, and other transportation methods will suffice(足够). Parking charges at downtown hotels may cost more than your car rental rate, so it may be doubly in your favor to give up a rental car. In some locations, a bike might be more efficient and economical than a car.
Search for Specials
In conjunction(结合)with your personal discount code, you may also find a last-minute rate, free rental day, or other promotion. My favorite annual travel deal is driving a car one-way out of Florida after Spring Break with rates as low as $1 per day.
Consider Alternative Rental Options
Major car rental companies might have an associated discount brand at your rental location, like Firefly for Hertz.
An independent or smaller local agency may fit your needs; like A1 or Lucky Owl in Honolulu. Many people prefer to check rates on Hotwire and Priceline, especially for last-minute rentals.
A.Rental rates are likely lower away from the airport, plus you might save the cost of an entire rental day.
B.I use discount-finding websites to track my car reservations.
C.Smaller brands, like Thrifty and Fox, might offer better service and lower rates.
D.In addition to saving time and offering freedom of choice, loyalty members earn points and receive special promotions.
E.Check car rental company websites for current specials.
F.Skip the Car
G.Use a bike

【题目】阅读理解
You might think that “global warming” means nothing more than a rise in the world's temperature. But, rising sea levels caused by it have resulted in the first evacuation (撤离) of an island nation — the citizens of Tuvalu will have to leave their homeland.
During the 20th century, sea level has risen 8~12 inches. As a result, Tuvalu has experienced lowland flooding of salt water which has polluted the country's drinking water.
Paani Laupepa, a Tuvaluan government official, reported to the Earth Policy Institute that the nation suffered an unusually high number of fierce storms in the past ten years. Many scientists connect higher surface water temperatures resulting from global warming to greater and more damaging storms.
Laupepa expressed dissatisfaction with the United States for refusing to sign the Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement calling for industrialized nations to reduce their green house gas emissions (排放), which are a main cause of global warming.“By refusing to sign the agreement, the US has effectively taken away the freedom of future generations of Tuvaluans to live where their forefathers have lived for thousands of years,” Laupepa told the BBC.
Tuvalu has asked Australia and New Zealand to allow the gradual move of its people to both countries.
Tuvalu is not the only country that is vulnerable (易受影响的) to rising sea levels. Maumoon Gayoon, president of the Maldives, told the United Nations that global warming has made his country of 311 000 an“endangered nation”.
(1)The text is mainly about___________.
A.rapid changes in earth's temperature?
B.bad effects of global warming
C.moving of a country to a new place
D.reasons for lowland flooding
(2)According to scientists, the DIRECT cause of more and fiercer storms is __________.
A.greenhouse gas emissions in industrialized nations
B.higher surface water temperatures of the sea
C.continuous global warming
D.rising sea levels
(3)Laupepa was not satisfied with the United States because it did not _________.
A.agree to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions
B.sign an agreement with Tuvalu
C.allow Tuvaluans to move to the US
D.believe the problems facing Tuvalu were real
(4)The country whose situation is similar to that of Tuvalu is _________.
A.Australia
B.New Zealand
C.the Maldives
D.the United States

【题目】阅读下面短文,在空白处填入一个适当的词,或填入括号中所给单词的正确形式。
Every country shares things common: we value family and laughter, cherish food and health, and celebrate large (festival) and traditions. Yet within the similar things we share, there are unique parts of each country. One of characteristics that are famous of British people (be) their sense of humor, particularly self-mockery (自嘲). This is a type of humor that criticizes and undervalues oneself. For example, a fat person may joke: “I am on a new sea food diet. If I see food, I eat it.” This is well-known self-mockery joke. It's difficult why self-mockery (tie) to the British people. But every nation's sense of humor comes from its culture and history. It could come from another British characteristic, modesty, (mean) not talking openly about your skills. This seems to be something that is similar to people in China, modesty plays a big part in daily life. It also acts as a defense of our self-respect by playing down our skills, this can (less) the chance of people criticizing us. Another possible reason is the British people do not take themselves too (serious).
