But now if you wear a pair of UGG boots, you won’t be troubled by that.‎ UGG means Australian Sheepskin Boots. UGG boots became popular among shearers(剪羊毛的人）in the 1920s.The shearers sheared the sheep and grabbed a bit of dead sheep, wrapped it around their feet and called them “Ugly Boots”. Good old Australian slang shortened Shearers Ugly Boots to UGG boots. Thus UGG Boots date back as far as the 1920s in Australia.‎ UGG boots became so popular because of the amazing amount of comfort they bring to the feet. The sheepskin is made incredibly soft so the boots are warm and comfortable. UGG boots feel more like socks than shoes, yet they are tough enough for outdoor wear. The unique, wool fool-beds lake the shape of the natural edge of each wearer’s feet, creating personalized arch (弓形) supports.‎ Our UGG boots are handmade with Australian sheepskin of the highest quality by our factory of UGG Original Pty Ltd.‎ We can also wear UGG boots in cold weather or summer. In cold weather, the thick wool of ‎ UGG boots provides a preventing layer of warmth by trapping your body heat. In the heat of summer, the natural fibres of the wool will actually cool your feet by absorbing sweat. UGG boots are made to be worn barefoot to maximize the cushioning and warmth provided by the sheepskin.‎ Why not pick up your phone and contact us right now at www.uggoriginal.com.au.?‎ ‎21. Who made the first pair of UGG boots according to the passage?‎ A. Shearers. B. Travelers. C. Workers. D. Campers.‎ ‎22. Which of the following words can be used to describe the UGG boots?‎ A. Ugly and hard. B. Light and tough.‎ C. Strong and warm. D. Comfortable and warm.‎ ‎23. The purpose of writing the passage is to ________.‎ A. Persuade B. inform C. advertise D. instruct B Scores on English tests are very important to students around the world. In order to make sure that they do their best, both students and teachers should stay informed of how these tests are changing. ‎ Clive Roberts, a director at ELS Educational Services, says the tests are changing greatly in response to the global growth in the use of English as a common language among people with different native languages. He says English “is one of the keys now to international student mobility. So, for that reason, a lot of new tests are being developed; old tests are being revamped to meet the needs of universitie舒中高二英语 第4页 (共10页)‎ s and employers worldwide.”‎ Mr. Roberts says several parts of standardized tests have changed recently. Now, many tests are given on computers. And, he says, tests measure all four skills of language learning: reading, listening, speaking and writing. Computer testing will reduce the length of time required for testing, because the tests adjust to the test－taker's ability. These computer-adaptive tests also increase accuracy in scoring. Computer-adaptive tests change depending on the test-taker’s responses. They can become more or less difficult during the testing session. For this reason, the set of correct answers will be different for each test-taker.‎ Another change to language testing relates to cultural sensitivity. Mr. Roberts says test development companies are now hiring people with intercultural communication backgrounds. The companies want to make sure the test does not upset test－takers. Having negative feelings ‎ may affect a student's performance on the test.‎ The tests have also become more proficiency－oriented(熟练导向). The items are being designed in such a way that they test real－world proficiency and not simply sort of an artificial environment or a specific set of skills that are taught in a classroom. So a lot of authentic(真正的) texts, and a lot of authentic listening passages are being used.‎ In addition, changes to the tests will encourage schools to teach their students to use English for everyday life and study.‎ ‎24. What does the writer intend to do in Paragraph 1? ‎ A. Introduce the topic of the text.‎ B. Talk about the changed tests.‎ C. Emphasize the importance of English test scores.‎ D. Show his/her concern about language learning.‎ ‎25. Which of the following may replace the underlined word “revamped” in Paragraph 2?‎ A. Increased B. saved C. simplified D. improved ‎ ‎26. Which of the following is NOT a change of the English test? ‎ A. Time－saving. B. Inflexibility.‎ C. Computer－assisted. D. Real－world proficiency.‎ ‎27. People with intercultural communication backgrounds are employed ________．‎ A. to take the test themselves first B. to evaluate the quality of the test ‎ C. to ensure the test won't be culturally offensive(冒犯的)‎ D. to tell the intercultural differences arising from the test C The world’s first “Sky Pool” has been uncoated（曝光）-and it’ll give anyone a touch of dizziness（眩晕）, unless he or she is not bothered by heights. ‎ Situated in the capital’s new riverside district beside Battersea Power Station, the glass pool, hanging 10 storeys, or 110 feet up as a bridge between two apartment buildings, is 25m long, 5m wide and 3m deep with a water depth of 1. 2m. Swimmers will be able to look down 35 meters to the street below as they take a dip, with only 20cm of glass between them and the outside world. It’s even got a bar, folding chairs and an orange garden. ‎ The pool will be part of Embassy Gardens at Nine Elms, a huge￡15 billion building project beside the new American Embassy in south-west London. The project is creating thousands of apartments, the smallest of which are expected to cost nearly $1 million, and the pool will only be open to the apartments’ owners. ‎ Embassy Gardens takes design inspiration from the Meatpacking District of New York with floor to ceiling windows and brick frontages. The designer, Sean Mulryan, desired to push the boundaries in the capability of construction and engineering and do something that had never been done before. The Sky Pool’s transparent(透明的) structure is the result of significant advancements in technologies over the last decade. ‎ The experience of the pool will be truly unique and it will feel like floating through the air in central London.‎ Those people lucky enough to swim there will have a perfect view of the Palace of Westminster and the London Eye. It will be a selling point for developers when the second stage of the development is published to market. ‎ ‎28. Who can swim in the Sky Pool?‎ A. Anyone at Nine Elms. B. Visitors to London.‎ C. People living in Embassy Gardens. D. Those who are not terrified of heights. ‎ ‎29. People lucky enough to swim in the Sky Pool can do the following except？‎ A. drinking with friends B. sitting in the orange garden ‎ C. appreciating the London Eye D. experiencing diving and surfing ‎30. What do we know from the text?‎ A. The pool lies in the centre of London. ‎ B. The pool is 25 metres above the ground. ‎ C. The pool was similar to New York’s modern constructions. ‎ D. The pool is helpful for selling apartments in Embassy Gardens. ‎ ‎31. We can infer from the text that ________. ‎ A. building the pool is not a complex job ‎ B. the new American Embassy has been moved away C. Nine Elms is a street in Embassy Gardens ‎ D. the apartments in Embassy Gardens are fairly expensive D That people often experience trouble sleeping in a different bed in unfamiliar surroundings is a phenomenon known as the “first-night” effect. If a person stays in the same room the following night they tend to sleep more soundly. Yuka Sasaki and her colleagues at Brown University set out to investigate the origins of this effect.‎ Dr. Sasaki knew the “first-night” effect probably has something to do with how humans evolved. The puzzle was what benefit would be gained from it when performance might be affected the following day. She also knew from previous work conduc舒中高二英语 第6页 (共10页)‎ ted on birds and dolphins that these animals put half of their brains to sleep at a time so that they can rest while remaining watchful enough to avoid predators(捕食者). This led her to wonder if people might be doing the same thing. To take a closer look, the team studied 35 healthy people as they slept in the unfamiliar environment of the university's Department of Psychological Sciences. The participants each slept in the department for two nights and were carefully monitored(监控) with techniques that looked at the activity of their brains. Dr. Sasaki found, as expected, the participants slept less well on their first night than they did on their second, taking more than twice as long to fall asleep and sleeping less overall. During deep sleep, the participants' brains behaved in a similar manner seen in birds and dolphins. On the first night only, the left hemispheres(半球) of their brains did not sleep nearly as deeply as their right hemispheres did.‎ Curious if the left hemispheres were indeed remaining awake to process information detected in the surrounding environment, Dr. Sasaki re-ran the experiment while presenting the sleeping participants with a mix of regularly timed beeps(蜂鸣声) of the same tone and irregular beeps of a different tone during the night. She worked out that, if the left hemisphere was staying watchful to keep guard in a strange environment, then it would react to the irregular beeps by stirring people from sleep and would ignore the regularly timed ones. This is precisely what she found.‎ ‎32. What did researchers find puzzling about the “first-night” effect?‎ A. In what way it can be beneficial.‎ B. What role it has played in evolution C. To what extent it can trouble people.‎ D. What circumstances(环境) may set it off.‎ ‎33. What do we learn about Dr. Sasaki doing her research?‎ A. She found birds and dolphins remain watchful while asleep.‎ B. She found birds and dolphins sleep in much the same way.‎ C. She got some idea from previous studies on birds and dolphins.‎ D. She conducted studies on birds' and dolphins' sleeping patterns.‎ ‎34. What did Dr. Sasaki do when she first did her experiment?‎ A. She kept the participants awake.‎ B. She tested her findings about birds and dolphins on human subjects.‎ C. She employed 35 participants from her Department of Psychological Sciences.‎ D. She monitored the brain activity of participants sleeping in a new environment.‎ ‎35. What did Dr. Sasaki find about the participants in her experiment?‎ A. They tended to see irregular beeps as a threat.‎ B. They felt sleepy when exposed to (接触) regular beeps.‎ C. They differed in their tolerance(忍耐) of irregular tones.‎ D. They tended to enjoy certain tones more than others.‎ 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。‎ Run!
