Right now, cows, buffalos, goats and sheep provide most of the world’s milk. But soon, people could get milk from roaches(蟑螂).‎ That isn’t as crazy as it might sound. New research shows this “milk” is super-nutritious. What’s more, some scientists have already begun referring to a lot of insects as source of milk.‎ In 2004, Subramanian Ramaswamy started studying milk crystals found inside the roach. At the time, he was teaching biochemistry at the University‎ of ‎Iowa City.‎ To learn more about the milk crystal from roaches, the scientists used X-rays to look at the atoms in it. The data basically revealed the chemical recipe of the roach crystal. They showed that roach milk is a “complete food”. It contains sugar with a fatty acid stuck to it. Fatty acids are the building blocks of fats. The protein in the milk is also full of essential amino(氨基的) acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. Since our bodies can’t produce the “essential” ones, we need to get them from our food. And so do baby roaches.‎ Barbara Stay, a biologist at Iowa‎ ‎University, also worked on the new study. She says the new data show that the roach milk is “three times more nutritious than cow’s milk and four times more nutritious than buffalo’s milk”.‎ Ramaswamy would like to see roach milk turned into a protein supplement to feed hungry people. But not everyone is confident that it can be done.‎ Marcel Dicke studies insects as a potential source of human food at Wageningen University in the Netherlands. Dicke says this is a “sound study”. However, in his opinion, “Extracting(提取) milk from roaches can only likely be done in a destructive way with only small quantities”. That means you’d have to raise and kill many bugs to get even tiny quantities of the milk.‎ ‎24. What is the opinion of the scientists about milk in Paragraph 2?‎ A. Many insects are sources of milk. ‎ B. Milk is an important part of breakfast.‎ C. Milk from insects is the most nutritious. ‎ D. Milk from insects is well accepted now.‎ ‎25. What can we know about the use of roach milk in life?‎ A. It will replace the milk from animals like cows.‎ B. Scientists think it the key to solving world hunger.‎ C. All people don’t think it can be used in life soon.‎ D. Most people depend on roach milk from protein.‎ ‎26. According to Marcel Dicke, extracting insect milk on a large scale is ________.‎ A. simple B. challenging C. safe D. necessary ‎27. What should be the best title for the text?‎ A. Roach milk has been found scientifically ‎ B. Roach milk could be produced industrially C. Roach milk could be a new super food ‎ D. Roach milk will be widely used soon C In ancient Egypt, a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment. Modern businesses have been following his lead, with more tactics(策略).‎ One tactic involves where to display the goods. For example, stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section. They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food later in their trip. In department stores, the women’s shoe section is generally next to the women’s cosmetics(化妆品) section: while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander over and find some cosmetics they might want to try later. ‎ Besides, businesses seek to appeal to customers’ senses. Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping, so they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played, sales of French wines went up. ‎ When it comes to the selling of houses, businesses also use highly rewarding tactics. They find that customers make decisions in the first few seconds upon walking in the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly. ‎ When entering the house, the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows, and then the pool through an open stairway leading to the lower level. The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these $10 million houses.‎ ‎28. Why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section?‎ A. To save customers times. ‎ B. To show they are high quality foods.‎ C. To help sell junk food. ‎ D. To sell them at discount prices.‎ ‎29. According to Paragraph 3, which of the following encourages customers to buy?‎ A. Opening the store early in the morning.‎ B. Displaying British wines next to French ones.‎ C. Inviting customers to play music.‎ D. Filling the store with the smell of fresh bread.‎ ‎30. What is the California builder’s story intended to prove?‎ A. The house structure is a key factor customers consider.‎ B. The more costly the house is, the better it sells.‎ C. An ocean view is much to the customers’ taste.‎ D. A good first impression increases sales.‎ ‎31. What is the main purpose of the passage?‎ A. To explain how businesses turn people into their customers. ‎ B. To introduce how businesses have grown from the past.‎ C. To report researches on customer behavior.‎ D. To show dishonest business practices.‎ D For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?‎ Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents’ point of ‎ view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped.‎ In this article, I’ll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrel on unimportant things. Examples include the color of the teen’s hair, the cleanness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It doesn’t matter what the topic is—politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg—the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority—someone who actually knows something—and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.‎ ‎32. Why does the author compare the parent teen war to a border conflict?‎ A. Both can continue for generations.‎ B. Both are about where to draw the line.‎ C. Neither has any clear winner.‎ D. Neither can be put to an end.‎ ‎33. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?‎ A. The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.‎ B. The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict.‎ C. The teens accuse their parents of misleading them.‎ D. The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents.‎ ‎34. Parents and teens want to be right because they want to__________.‎ A. give orders to the other B. know more than the other C. gain respect from the other D. get the other to behave properly ‎35. What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?‎ A. Causes for the parent-teen conflicts B. Examples of the parent-teen war C. Solutions to the parent-teen problems D. Future of the parent-teen relationship ‎ 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处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ If something that you're doing doesn't challenge you, then it doesn't change you. We all need some normal stress in our lives, after all. 36　 　 So challenge the following limits：‎ ‎ • Figure out what you're scared of and do it continuously．‎ If you're a salesman，and you're scared of talking to people personally or over the phone，now，instead of being scared and thinking you'll fail，spend at least five minutes a day to pick up the phone and make a call．37 　But don't stop on the first try! Eventually，you can look at fear in the eyes and say， "Go on，I'm not scared!"‎ ‎ • 38　 　‎ ‎ Make sure this hobby is not linked to your career； you have to relax and relieve your stress while performing this． Some examples might be cooking， sewing，painting and so on．Apart from helping you challenge yourself，taking a class for your hobby may also give you extra income．‎ ‎ • Set aside at least nine minutes a day for physical exercise．‎ ‎ ‎39　 ‎　 A simple 9﹣minute run around your neighborhood can do wonders for yourself．Exercise can not only help you maintain your regular weight，but also make you feel better about yourself．‎ ‎ • Travel and allow yourself to be interested in new people．‎ ‎ Don't just limit yourself to your fellow travelers﹣try to connect with the service staff．You never know what kind of people they're going to be．Get out of your house or go online right now to book your class．40 ‎ A． You should do it continuously．‎ B． Someone may hang up on you．‎ C． You don't need to go to the gym．‎ D． Running in the gym may be a better choice．‎ E． Start to travel now and learn to challenge yourself．‎ F． Take a class for a hobby you've been wanting to develop．‎ G． You can never see any improvement if you stick to your comfort zone．‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分 45）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ No one is born a winner.
