阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
The stories we share with one another are important． They show wisdom and provide inspiration． They are important to our development． But sometimes people choose not to tell.
Consider the negative effects of not sharing a story in the news: People are wondering if public health officials are holding back too much information about the recent outbreak of Ebola.
There is a danger in holding back stories that ought to be told． Bobette Buster said it like this, “The fact is, history has shown us that stories not told can become like a dangerous genie (妖怪) left in a bottle．When they are finally uncorked, their power to destroy is set free.”
There are a number of reasons why we hide parts of our story: they often show our weaknesses or expose our disadvantages; they require courage and strength to share; and of course, there are some stories that should be kept secret—especially those that embarrass someone else.
Most of us have two selves: the one we display on the outside and the one we actually are on the inside． And the better we get at hiding the stories that show our true selves, the more damage we may be causing to ourselves and to others.
Honesty and openness is important: It proves we are trustworthy． It displays we are human． We are not perfect or better． It highlights the importance of hard work and personal development． Hard work may not allow us to overcome our disadvantages completely． But with hard work, we do not have to be restricted to our mistakes.
Does this mean we admit every weakness, every disadvantage, and every secret regret to everybody we meet? No, of course not．There is a time and a place and a certain level of relationship necessary for some stories to be told in an appropriate manner.
1.What’s the function of the example in Paragraph 2?
A． It reflects that people are concerning about the spread of Ebola.
B． It shows the bad effect caused by sharing a story.
C． It proves not sharing a story can cause trouble.
D． It concludes that one should share a story at a proper time.
2.One of the reasons why people are unwilling to share experiences is that _______.
A． story-sharing highlights the importance of hard work
B． people are used to exposing their weaknesses
C． people sometimes have no courage to share their stories
D． some stories make themselves feel uneasy
3.Which is close in meaning to the underlined word “uncorked” in Paragraph 3?
A． freed B． broken C． unfolded D． untouched
4.The writer aims to convince us to _______.
A． be open to people close to you by sharing some secrets
B． share stories appropriately for the good of others and ourselves
C． remove the dangers that can be caused by untold stories
D． realize the importance of being honest when making friends

Every day we are exposed to images, videos, music and news．In this age of visual and aural hyper-stimulation, the medium of radio is making a great comeback.
“We’re at the beginning of a golden age of audio,” said US-based podcaster Alex Blumberg in an article in The Sydney Morning Herald． In the last month alone, 15 percent of US adults listened to a radio podcast (播客)．These statistics, released by Edison Research, show the successful evolution of traditional radio broadcasts to the present day’s digital podcast format．The term “podcast” was invented in 2004, but the trend only started gaining mainstream popularity in recent years．With the sharp increase in consumer demand for smartphones and tablets, podcast sales have jumped.
The appeal of the podcast partly lies in its multiplatform delivery and on-demand capabilities (功能)．You can listen during those extra minutes of the day when you’re walking to the shops, waiting in a queue or riding the subway．Similar to television shows, podcasts are generally free to download and most offer new content every week.
Donna Jackson, 22, Sydney University media graduate, listens to podcasts two or three times a week, via iTurns．“I listen while I’m wandering around the house doing something else．It makes completing a boring task much more enjoyable… And it’s an easy way of keeping in touch with what’s going on in the rest of the world,” she said, “I mainly listen to BBC podcasts, but recently I’ve also been listening to This American Life and Serial．They have a special skill to really draw you in.”
Unlike television and music, the audio format has the potential to create a deep impression on readers．Blumberg says this owes to the podcast’s ability “to create close relationship and emotional connection.” Sydney University undergraduate Hazel Proust, majoring in social work and arts, agrees．“When you’re listening, it feels as if the voice of the podcast’s storyteller is talking directly to you．It’s comforting, ” said Proust.
It seems the age-old tradition of verbal storytelling is very much alive and well.
1.From the first two paragraphs, we can learn that ________.
A． traditional broadcast has come back
B． Americans love listening to the radio
C． podcasts have become very popular today
D． smartphones sell well because of podcasts
2.The writer mentions Donna Jackson mainly to ________.
A． tell how young people relax themselves
B． explain why young people like podcasts
C． introduce what programs podcasts are presenting
D． show how popular podcasts are presenting
3.Paragraph 5 is mainly about ________.
A． the influence of radios
B． the advantage of podcasts
C． readers’ impression on radios
D． people’s reaction to the medium
4.What is probably the best title of the passage?
A． Return of Radio
B． Opinions of Podcast
C． Features of Radio
D． Technology of Podcast

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
The Owl Count
Annie slept in the front of the seat with her father drove through the darkness. ”We’re almost there!” Dad announced cheerfully. “Soon well be observing and counting owls at the state park.” Yawning， Annie nodded and smiled. The time was 4:30 a.m. Looking out into the darkness， Annie remembered learning in school that most owls are active at night，when they hunt for food. During the day they sleep in hard-to-find spots.
“Dad， why do you need to count owls?” she asked. “It’s important for the scientists to have current information about bird populations，” he explained. “We want to know which birds have decreased in number and whether any new kinds of birds are coming into a certain area. You and I will write down the kinds of birds that we see today and keep a record of how many times we see each kind. The we’ll send out a report to a scientific organization that is collecting about birds from people all over the county.”
Dad pulled into the parking lot of the state park. Then，with flashing in hand，they began their hike into the woods. Annie zipped up her coat and tried to keep from trembling. She had not expected the morning to be so frigid. Luckily her gloves were in her pocket.
Suddenly Annie’s father stooped and gestured for her to be still. Obeying，Annie did not take another step. She thought she heard a low crying up head. “That’s certainly a screech owl，” her father whispered. “Let’s get a look at it.” After looking more closely，Annie could see that it was a small owl. Sensing danger，the owl narrowed its eyes and pulled its feathers tightly against its body. Annie carefully wrote down in her notebook that they had seen a screech owl.
Walking a little farther，they came to a tall oak tree. “This looks like a perfect spot to attract owls，” Dad said. “I’m going to play a recording of common call of the barred owl. Maybe we can get one to answer.’ Annie could hardly believe her ear. The recorded all sounded as if the bird were asking，“who cooks for you?” Moments later Annie thought she heard a return call in distance. She held her breath and waited. Suddenly a huge bird landed very quietly on a branch above them.
Annie had long forgotten how cold it was. She stood in wonder，shining her flashlight on the bird and studying it carefully. The barred owl was nearly tow feet tall. Gray feathers surrounded its dark eyes. The bird did not matter. Annie would never forge the image of the powerful barred owl.
1.Why did Annie and her father go to the state park?
A． To take a hike in the woods.
B． To record the call of barred owl.
C． To collect information about birds.
D． To protect the environment for wildlife.

A． dark
B． clear

B． He heard somebody crying.
C． He sensed they were in danger.
D． He reminded her to take down note.
4.How did Annie feel when she saw the barred owl?
