Twenty minutes later, the professor took all the papers. After a quick look, he began to read each one of them aloud. They all described the black dot, trying to explain its position, etc.‎ I’m not going to grade you. I just wanted to give you something to think about. No one wrote about the white part of the paper. Everyone focused on the black dot, and the same thing happens in our lives,” the professor said. “Our life is a gift. We always have reasons to celebrate, being alive and healthy, the beauty of nature, our friends, the job that provides us a way to make a ‎ living, etc. However, we keep focusing only the dark spots, such as the health problems, the family arguments, the disappointments with friends, etc.”‎ ‎“The dark spots are very small compared to everything else we have in our lives, but they are the ones that pollute our minds,” the professor continued. “Take your eyes off the dark spots in your life.

But have you ever thought about staying in a stranger’s home? This might sound strange, but it’s actually becoming popular around the world, including China.‎ Companies like Airbnb are helping people look for cheap way to travel. Its website allows people to rent out their rooms or apartments in over 190 countries.‎ Created by three young American men, Airbnb is a good example of the sharing economy. How does Airbnb work? Hosts post (发布) information about their rooms or apartments, like locations, prices, descriptions and positions on the website. Guests can go to the website and find ‎ their favorite place to stay. Users post their opinions on their stay, so people know whether a place is good or not. ‎ A man in New York named Jonathan Powley even rents out his taxi for $22 a night through Airbnb. Powley took out the car seats and changed the inside to make it look more welcoming. He keeps it clean and put flowers in it every day. He provides snacks and tells guests where they can go and shower.‎ But Airbnb does have some problems. Sometimes the room or apartment you live in is not as nice as it looks like online. Also, hosts sometimes get mad when they get home and see it’s a complete mess.‎ The number of Airbnb users in China has greatly increased in the past years. Local home-rental websites such as xiaozhu.com have also joined the competition.‎ ‎28. What can people do through Airbnb?‎ A. Rent out their houses. B. Find people to travel with.‎ C.

How to make your home look nice.‎ ‎31. What can we learn about Airbnb?‎ A. It is becoming less popular. ‎ B. xiaozhu.com is more powerful than it.‎ C. The number of its users is increasing in China.‎ D. Hosts can’t get along with its users abroad.‎ ‎(D)‎ Scientists recently have found three kinds of very small living things that are living two miles below the surface of the Mediterranean Sea (地中海水面) . Their bodies have many cells（细胞）and look like small umbrellas with legs, but they are animals.‎ The most exciting thing about these animals, say the scientists, is that they seem to live ‎ without oxygen(氧). What scientists have known about life so far is that only single-celled living things can live in places that have no oxygen. These newly-found animals could change that idea.‎ These animals live in a place where the water is so salty that it can’t mix with the seawater above it. Usually seawater has oxygen in it— which allows animals like fish to live —but the salty waters where they live don’t have oxygen. During three experiments in 1998, 2005 and 2008, scientists found many such small animals at the bottom（底部）of the Mediterranean Sea.‎ Finding animals down there was so surprising that some scientists couldn’t believe it. Some scientists thought it was just a joke. To find out whether the animals could actually live without oxygen, scientists took up some of these animals from the ocean floor. They placed them in small bottles which have no oxygen inside. To their surprise, these animals appeared to be still alive there after a long time. When the researchers did more tests, they found that some of the animals had eggs—which suggested they even could give birth to their young without oxygen. Finally, scientists found that the insides of the animals appear to be used to living in an environment that has no oxygen.‎ Now scientists are doing more experiments about these small animals. And if they’re right, they will need to rethink what they know about where animals live.‎ ‎32. What’s the best title for the passage?‎ A. Life under the ocean. B. The newly-found animals.‎ C. Animals living without oxygen. D. Experiments about small animals ‎33. What do the underlined words “that idea” in the second paragraph refer to?‎ A. The newly-found animals have no cells. ‎ B. There are no living things deep under the sea.‎ C. The newly-found animals can live in salty water.‎ D. Only single-celled animals can live without oxygen.‎ ‎34. There is no oxygen in the water where the newly-found animals live because.‎ A. the water is very salty B. there is no fish in the water C. it is mixed with seawater D. it is on the surface of the sea ‎35. In which part of a newspaper is this passage most likely to be found?‎ A. Health Report. B. Nature. C. Business News. D. Entertainment.‎ 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。‎ Want to be a successful high school student? Check out these things.‎ Set short-term and long-term goals(目标).‎ Set long term goals first and then set smaller short-term goals. 36 Break your goals down into manageable parts and find a way to make you keep going.‎ Develop time management skills.‎ Developing time management skills can help you use your time wisely. This means you should make and stick to study plans. 37‎ Participate in class.‎ ‎38 Students who participate in class are more active in their learning and are better able to learn more from class discussions.‎ ‎ 39 ‎ Successful high school students don’t disappear outside their classroom.
