Minutes after the calendar ticked over to this past 2014 New Year’s Eve，Fyodorov set off on a solo，out—and—back marathon run from his home in the Siberian village of Oymyakon， completing the 26.2-mile course-his first marathon-in just over five hours. During the run he experienced temperatures as low as -38oC. And that was just the way he wanted it. “I heard about other marathons around the globe，naming themselves ‘the coldest’，like the most recent North Pole marathon with runners going at -28oC.’’ Fyodorov told the Siberian Times.“I thought surely this cannot be right. Our Oymyakon is the coldest inhabited place in northern hemisphere. Why don’t we arrange a marathon here?’’ Oymyakon is widely considered to be one of the coldest places on the planet，and its record-low temperature of-68oC, recorded in 1933，is tied for the coldest recorded temperature for any inhabited place on Earth. The average January temperature in the area is -50oC. Not only did Fyodorov finish the marathon in high spirits，but he also wants it to be colder the next time he tries it.“I really want to organize next Oymyakon marathon in January when the air goes down to -50oC or -60oC，”he said. Fyodorov is not the first person to take on a cold—weather athletic challenge like this. In addition to the North Pole Marathon that he mentioned，the Antarctica Marathon is held every year in late February，taking runners on an out—and—back tour from Russia’s Bellingshausen Station. A second Antarctica event—the Ice Marathon—has been held 一 80F degrees south since 2006. 41. What’s the best title of the passage? A. How cold is too cold for an ice runner B.

Change has come to my 1ife many ways，in myself，and in my surroundings. At the same time，some things stay the same. This is when traditions are formed. I am often reminded of this by the photograph that sits by my bed. It all began with a kiss on my very first day of school. I remember dancing around the mirror，watching as my dark blue dress created a teacup around my waist. I admired the little ruffle(褶边)of my shirt collar and how it matched perfectly with the trim at the bottom of my dress. I knew I would be the envy of all my classmates. But somehow，something was missing. I reached under my bed for the large box of bows(蝴 蝶结)，in every color imaginable，that I was famous for. I picked out a white one that would match my shirt and carefully ran to my mom. She fastened the finishing touch to my short brown hair and I was ready for my very first day of school. After admiring myself in the mirror，I heard my mom yell，“picture time!” I dashed downstairs where my mum led to the spot. I absolutely loved getting my picture taken. After several individual shots and some with my older sister，Katherine，my dad came for a picture with us together. As I climbed onto my dad’s lap，he wrapped his arms around Katherine and me and we both leaned in to kiss him on the cheek. At that moment，mum snapped the shot and our tradition began. From them on，every year when the first day of school rolled around，we continued our tradition of pictures in the yard. The picture grew with my family；when my two younger sisters began school，our tradition expanded from 15 minutes to 45.The mass chaos was directed by my mom when my dad was already off to work or away on a business trip. 46.

Yes，we humans are very sensitive to others’ mistakes. And the same is true for other animals. Animals mess up all the time. They might eat poisonous leaves，fall off a tree or let their prey(猎物)slip away. By watching others fail，an animal can avoid making the same mistakes，thus improving its chance of survival. Scientists suspected that one part of the brain helps animals process information about others’ errors. Ceils in that part appear to become more active when a person sees someone else making a mistake. But researchers didn’t know whether individual cells in this part of the brain play different roles in detecting errors. To investigate the brain’s response to errors in more detail，the researchers taught a game to two macaques，a type of monkey. One monkey could press a yellow or green button while the other watched. If the first monkey pressed the right button，the team gave both animals a treat. Every couple of rounds，the two monkeys switched roles. Meanwhile, the scientists monitored individual cells in the animal’s brains. When the first monkey messed up the game by pressing the wrong button，a group of cells in the second monkey’s brain fired. But if the second monkey also made the wrong choice during its turn，some of the cells in that group didn’t respond. Those unresponsive cells reacted specifically to mistakes made by others，not to the monkey’s own mistakes. Scientists believe other parts of the brain also might help people process information about another’s errors.“You start to think about this other person and see things from his angle.”Ellen de Bruijn，told Science News. She studies the brain at the University of Leiden in the Netherlands. 51. According to Paragraph l，animals’ ability to learn from others’ mistakes ________. A. used to be ignored by humans B. ensures that they will never fail C. is being lost because of humans D. helps them to survive better 解析：细节理解题。较易。根据第一段最后一句“By watching others fail，an animal can avoid making the same mistakes，thus improving its chance of survival.”可知。 答案：D 52. The underlined word “detecting” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”. A. correcting B. making C. sensing D. drawing 解析：词义猜测题。中等。句意：研究者不知道这一部分大脑中的单个细胞是否在意识到错 误的时候会扮演不同的角色。 答案：C 53. From the game the scientists taught to two macaques，we can see ________. A. how the brain responds to mistakes B. which part of the brain is more active C. animals can avoid the same mistakes D. how the brain processes information 解析：细节理解题。较易。根据第三段第一句“To investigate the brain’s response to errors in more detail，the researchers taught a game to two macaques，a type of monkey.”可知。 答案：A 54. In the experiment mentioned，those unresponsive cells are only sensitive to ________. A. the same buttons B. others’ mistakes C. one’s own mistakes D. the monkey’s brain 解析：细节理解题。较易。根据第四段最后一句“Those unresponsive cells reacted specifically to mistakes made by others，not to the monkey’s own mistakes.”可知。 答案：B 55. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. An interesting experiment by scientists surprised us. B. Animals can learn from mistakes like human beings. C. Monkeys can avoid making mistakes by learning from us. D. The brain cells are always sensitive to others’ information. 解析：主旨大意题。中等。本篇文章主要讲述了动物们能和人类一样能从错误中学到东西。 答案：B D Nobody wants to be called a helicopter parent，who manages to be responsible for whatever a child does, however small a matter is—but parents want to protect their kids. At least no playing with sticks means no risk of lost eyes. Yet as Gever Tulley points out in Fifty Dangerous Things(You Should Let Your Children Do)，children who grow up as safe as possible become adults who aren’t adventurous，highly adaptable，or confident. Sometimes you have to fall out of a tree to figure out how to climb one the right way，and learning that you can accomplish such a thing on your own teaches you that you can be self—sufficient. With Fifty Dangerous Things，Gever Tulley，has written a handbook of activities that are， yes，dangerous at some level-like playing with fire，breaking glass，and opening batteries. The book is a blueprint to help parents and children explore the world，and ensure the children grow up，with a little common sense and a lot of curiosity. Both the advice and the warnings are down to earth. Yes，there are risks，but Tulley provides good ways to learn to avoid them through your own skill. It takes work to raise a child who can use a table saw or build a campfire. But with this book in hand，it'll be a satisfying adventure. We see a child climbing a tree and the first thing we think of is how they might fall and be disabled for life. We seldom say，“Look at how well Sarah is climbing that tree!” When we protect children from every possible source of danger，we also prevent them from having the kinds of experiences that develop their sense of self—reliance，their ability to deal with risks，and their sense of accomplishment. 56. According to the author，a helicopter parent_______. A. lets his kids do whatever they want to B. allows his kids do what is dangerous C. does whatever he can to protect his kids D. considers whatever a kid does is risky 解析：细节理解题。较易。根据文章第一段“a helicopter parent，who manages to be responsible for whatever a child does, however small a matter is”可知答案为 C。 答案：C 57. In Gever Tulley’s view， . A. children should grow up in a completely safe environment B. doing dangerous things can be harmful to some degree C. children should keep away from dangerous environment D. dangerous activities can make adaptable children 解析：细节理解题。中等。根据第二段第一句“Yet as Gever Tulley points out in Fifty Dangerous Things(You Should Let Your Children Do)，children who grow up as safe as possible become adults who aren’t adventurous，highly adaptable，or confident.”可以看出成长在安全的环境的 孩子们成人后都不具有冒险性，不适应周边环境、不自信。 答案：D 58. Which of the following is most likely to be included in Tulley’s book? A. Reading books before sleep. B. Climbing up a steep rock C. Riding a bike to school. D. Breaking windows of the classroom 解析：推理判断题。中等。根据第三四段内容可知，Gever Tulley 写的这本书主要是帮助家 长和孩子们探测世界，敢于冒险，让孩子们有一定的常识和好奇心可以看出答案选 B。 答案：B 59. The author thinks the advice and warnings in Fifty Dangerous Things is_______. A. practical for children to explore the world safely B. too abstract for the children to understand C. much too dangerous for most parents to accept D. risky for children to try all adventurous things 解析：推理判断题。中等。同上。 答案：A 60. When seeing a child doing dangerous things，most parents will_______. A. praise the child for his bravery B. do whatever possible to stop it C. offer some advice on coping with risks D. stand by and watch him patiently 解析：推理判断题。中等。根据文章最后一段当我们看到孩子们爬树的时候很少有人说孩子 爬树爬的好，总是怕掉下来从而阻止他们去做一些危险的事。 答案：B E On the day of college graduation，I told my friends and family the news：I was leaving the country I had lived in since childhood. ‘‘I just need a change，”I told them，but there was more. I was running from heartbreak. My relationship with the United States is the most tough one I have ever had，as a country I loved and believed in did not love me back. Back in the 90’s，my mother brought me from our home in the Caribbean islands to the U.S. when I was 4 years old. She worked as a live-in nanny(保姆)for two years，playing mommy for white kids whose parents had better things to do. She didn’t believe that nanny meant maid，and did whatever was asked of her. She was thirsty to embrace her American dream，hoping that her children would be educated and she might have nannies of her own. That was our path—get a “good education.” When the neighborhoods with quality schools became too expensive for my mom to afford as a single parent，we went across the United States with GreatSchools. net as our compass：New Jersey，elementary school；Texas，middle school； Florida，high school；New York City，private university. For a long time I survived by covering myself in all kinds of labels so that people would ignore the color of my skin，yet I existed on the edge of ugly，ignorant and uncuhured.“Black people don’t really know how to swim，”a white lady told me when I worked as a swim instructor at my neighborhood’s pool.“The black children don’t like to read very much，” I overheard one librarian discussing with another while l sat down reading a book a couple feet away. I was never able to make America my home. When I stripped myself of the labels painfully one by one，beneath them there is a wounded colored woman who refuses to be faceless anymore. My face may be disgusting to some since it bears proof that race continues to be a problem. My hope is that it will force Americans to reexamine their “post—racial” beliefs. 61. What was the real reason that made the author leave the United States? A. It couldn’t provide her with good education. B. She just needed a challenge in her way of life. C. The way she was treated there broke her heart. D. She was tired of living in a strange country. 解析：推理判断题。中等。根据文章第一段说在美国的日子是自己渡过的最艰难的，自己虽 然热爱美国但是却不想再回来。故答案为 C。 答案：C 62. What can we infer about the author’s mother from Paragraphs 2 and 3? A. She sacrificed a lot to live a better life in America. B. She was quite content to work as a live—in nanny. C.

Adult cats do not normally meow to each other，and so the meowing to human beings is likely partly an extension of the use of this signal. When communicating with human beings，adult cats express variations of their tones to demand food or attention，make complaints，and express puzzle. A change in tone， pace or punctuation changes the meaning，however slight. [2] Although cats occasionally , they generally communicate with one another through body language. When preparing to fight an enemy or to frighten one away, cats can make long meows. Most sounds recognized as “meow” are specifically for human interaction. [3] Dogs bark for many reasons，such as when intruders(humans，dogs，or other animals) approach their living space，when hearing an unfamiliar or unidentified noise，when seeing something that the dog doesn’t expect to be there，or when playing. Barking also expresses different feelings for a dog，such as loneliness，fear，stress，and pleasure. Playful or excited barks are often short and sharp，such as when a dog is attempting to get a person or another dog to play. [4]Dogs generally try to avoid conflict；their barks are part of what allows other dogs to tune into their emotions，whether they’re aggressive or are in a playful mood. [5]The bark of a distressed or stressed dog is high pitched(定音调)and repetitive；it tends to get higher in pitch as the dog becomes more upset. For example，a dog left alone and who has separation anxiety might bark in such a way. [6]Some research has suggested that dogs even have separate barks for different animals， including dog，fox，deer，human，squirrel and cat. 66.
