My sister, Diana, who also happens to be my best friend and one of the funniest and kindest people I know, went blind in one eye about 9 years ago. Diana sometimes feels concerned about the way her eye looks now. The pupil (瞳孔) is no longer black; it’s sort of “glows” in photos. Diana recently purchased a special contact lens (隐形镜片) that makes her eye look like it did before it changed color, but she doesn’t wear this lens often because it becomes quite painful after about an hour.‎ ‎ One night during our holiday, a hotel photographer was taking pictures of the guests as they entered the area set up for dinner. Diana casually said if she had known there was going to be pictures taken to capture this special memory, she would have worn her contact lens so her eye wouldn’t be so shiny in the picture.‎ ‎ The next day, I was sitting with Diana and her husband Ted. While we were talking, the photographer who had been at the dinner the night before, handed her a photo, leaned in and quietly said, “I matched the color of your eyes in the picture.”‎ ‎ As he walked away, my sister happily said to me and Ted, “Look! He fixed my eye!” The photographer stopped. He turned around and walked back to our table. He put his hand on Diana’s shoulder, leaned in again and gently said, “Just to be clear: I didn’t fix your eye. There isn’t anything wrong with your eye. I simply matched the color.”‎ ‎ Her eyes filled up with tears. It was very healing for her heart to hear these beautiful words. It didn’t take much time and made so much difference. It helped her change the way she feels about herself.‎ ‎ I have always loved the quote: “The world is full of good people. If you can’t find one, be one!” Your acts of kindness can impact the world in profound ways!‎ ‎1.

From the passage we can conclude that the photographer was _______. ‎ ‎ A. confident             B. easy-going                        C. creative                        D. considerate B Both honeybees and ants are social insects that live in groups called colonies. They survive by means of their collective intelligence. Their decision-making power is distributed throughout the group; that is, no one ant or bee makes decisions for the group. Instead, they work together. As Deborah M. Gordon, a biologist at Stanford University, says, “Ants aren’t smart. Ant colonies are.” The same is true for bee colonies. Although bees and ants are quite different physically, they have a lot in common in terms of their social behavior. Specifically, honeybees and ants have similar roles within the colony, both have communication systems, and both have the capacity for learning.‎ Ants communicate by using chemicals called pheromones, which can alert others to danger or to a food source. For example, when worker ants find a promising source, they let the rest of the colony know how to find it by leaving a trail of pheromones on the way back to the colony. The other ants pick up the message using their sense of smell. Bees, on the other hand, use movement to communicate with each other. Worker bees send messages to each other by means of a “dance”. Different speeds and movements send different messages. For example, when worker bees called scouts go out to find a new home for the colony, they return and do a dance for the other worker bees that indicates the location of the new home and how suitable it ‎ is. The faster the scouts dance, the better the new location is.‎ Honeybees and ants are both capable of learning. One Chinese study found that bees can be trained to learn and remember a route to a food source. The researchers also found that bees can be taught to recognize hidden objects and use the concepts of “sameness” and “difference” to accomplish certain tasks. Ants take this one step further. Recent American research has shown that ants not only have the ability to learn, but also can teach their foraging (觅食) skills to other younger ants.‎ They observed that older ants accompany young ants in search of food and teach them the route and how to avoid obstacles.‎ As we can see, the social behavior of honeybees and ants is quite similar. Both coordinate complex actions and accomplish crucial survival tasks by cooperating in groups consisting of many individuals. Unintelligent as they may be as individuals, as groups they often show amazing brilliance as they go about their everyday activities.‎ ‎5. What do ants and bees have in common?‎ A. They live in similar-sized colonies.‎ B. They make use of collective intelligence.‎ C. They have small leadership groups that make all decisions.‎ D. They use the same methods to communicate with each other.‎ ‎6. What does the speed of a bee’s dance indicate?‎ A. The quality of a new colony location. ‎ B. The distance to a neighboring colony.‎ C. The discovery of a new food source. ‎ D. The direction to a potential food source.‎ ‎7. In paragraph 3, how does the author demonstrate the idea that Honeybees and ants are both capable of learning ?‎ A. By using statistics. B. By explaining reasons.‎ C. By referencing opinions. D. By presenting study findings.‎ ‎8. What is the benefit of collective intelligence?‎ A. It allows the colony to reproduce more rapidly.‎ B. It improves work cooperation within the colony.‎ C. It reduces the division of labour among members.‎ D. It enables individuals to teach each other new skills.‎ 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎“The calm before the storm” is a very familiar expression. It is usually used to describe a peaceful period just before a very stressful situation or a tense argument. ___9___ They noted that before certain storms the seas would seem to become calm and the winds would drop.‎ But why is it often so calm before a storm? ___10___ According to US website HowStuffWorks, a calm period occurs because many storms, tornadoes and hurricanes draw in all the warm and damp air from the surrounding area. As this air rises into the storm clouds, it cools and acts as “fuel for the storm, like petrol in a car.”‎ Once the storm has taken all the energy it can from the air, it is pushed out from the top of the storm clouds and falls back down to ground level. ___11___ So once it covers an area, it causes a calm period before the storm.‎ ‎___12___ First count how many seconds there are between a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder, roughly three seconds equal one kilometer. A good judgement is that if your count is below 30 seconds, you should seek shelter straight away.‎ However, due to the complexity of storm system, calm doesn’t always go first. So, your best bet is to keep yourself updated with weather reports for any predictions regarding a coming storm in your area. ___13___‎ A. Science has given us the answer.‎ B. There is no definite answer to the question.‎ C. Weather reports sometimes cannot be trusted.‎ D. British sailors coined the phrase in the late l600s.‎ E. As the air declines, it becomes warm and dry, which is stable.‎ F. The Weather Network has a tip for working out how far away a storm is.‎ G. That’s the most reliable way to predict the next display of nature’s temper.‎ 第二部分：语言知识运用（共两节，满分44分）‎ 第一节：完形填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，共30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，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。‎ If someone says you are smart, what do they mean?
