In an experiment led by Keith Chen at Yale, monkeys showed an understanding of pricing and planning the money, as well as a wish to stay away from losses when required to buy food with money. Makes sense this one looks like it’s checking its stocks (股票) on a smart phone. Think that’s impressive?‎ ‎◆Camel eats breakfast with people The first time Joe ate with British farmers, he was uninvited. The four-year-old Bactrian camel stuck his head through their open kitchen window, and emptied a fruit bowl. Now the couple, who rent out reindeer, camels, goats, and other creatures for television shows, movies, and photo shoots, set a place at their table for the confident double-humped creature, where Joe eats grain food and his favorite: bananas on toast.‎ ‎◆Marmots (土拨鼠) befriend a boy A group of marmots in the Austrian Alps has made friends with eight-year-old Matteo ‎ Walch by chance, whose family vacations there in summer. Typically, they beat their tails, chatter, and whistle to warn other marmots of danger, but with Matteo, they behave much differently, allowing the boy to feed, pet, and even touch noses with them. “Watching them makes me feel a connection with nature,” says Matteo. How sweet!‎ ‎21.In what way do monkeys behave like humans according to the text?‎ A. In character. B. In intelligence.‎ C. In communication. D. In the way of lifestyle.‎ ‎22.Why do the British couple raise the animals?‎ A. To make money.‎ B. To have dinners with them.‎ C. To protect endangered animals.‎ D. To train them to act as humans.‎ ‎23.Why did Matteo Walch go to the Austrian Alps?‎ A. To warn marmots of danger.‎ B. To develop interest in nature.‎ C. To make friends with marmots.‎ D. To go on a holiday with his family.‎ B ‎ There have been nine secetary0generals of the United Nations (联合国秘书长) since the first one was appointed (任命) in 1946. But somehow, Kofi Annan has been the one that people tend to remember the best.‎ Annan, born in Ghana, was the first black African to ever hold the job. And he won a Nobel Peace Prize in 2001. Just as the New York Times put it, Annan “redefined (重新定义) the UN”.‎ During those 10 years—from 1997 to 2006—the world was at its worst. This period witnessed the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999, the Sept. 11 attacks of 2001, and the US’s invasion (侵略) of Iraq in 2003.‎ On its own, the UN has little power. However, Annan combined that power with his own to achieve great things. He kept the world from falling apart from attacks and wars. He also fought for women’s rights and the educational rights of children, and ‎ fought against the spread of HIV in Africa.‎ It was because of these things that he and the UN were awarded a Nobel Peace Prize in 2001, for their work toward “a better organized and a more peaceful world”. Annan also put “people” at the center of everything the UN does. He took the trouble to relate to (建立联系) others—young or old, senior or junior, ambassador (大使) or security guard (保安).‎ Maybe what Annan did was more than just redefine the UN. Indeed, as Antonio Guterres, current secretary-general of the UN, said, “In many ways, Kofi Annan was the UN.”‎ ‎24.According to the passage, we can learn that ______.‎ A. secretary-generals are not usually remembered by people B. people believe that Annan has been the best leader of Ghana C. Annan is the only black man to win the Noble Peace Prize D. Annan is the first black African secretary-general of the UN ‎25.The underlined word can be replaced by “______”.‎ A. saw B. made C. prevented D. happened ‎6.What did Annan do to redefine the UN?‎ A. Women and children were kept from being attacked.‎ B. He stopped the spread of HIV and found the cure for AIDS in Africa.‎ C. He made the world a better and more peaceful place.‎ D. He has every country get the same rights in the UN.‎ ‎27.What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?‎ A. Annan has trouble in communicating with others.‎ B. People are believed less important than others by Annan.‎ C. The current leader of the UN thins highly of Annan and his great achievements.‎ D. People in higher position easily get more support from the leaders of the UN.‎ C ‎ Spanish artist Pablo Picasso (1881—1973) is one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. It is said that everything his brush touched turned to gold. But in truth, the ‎ value of his work could be worth more than any precious metal. Picasso created more than 20,000 works in his life, including two of the world’s 10 most expensive paintings.‎ Between 1907 and 1913, Picasso and his colleague(同事) Georges Braque started a revolution(革命) in painting. Before that, paintings were like windows — they were painted to look as if they had depth. You could tell which objects were “close” to you and which objects were “far away”. But Picasso and Braque didn’t want to paint like that any more. To them, a painting wasn’t a window to the world; it was marks and lines on a flat surface. Why, they thought, should an object like a guitar be shown only from one angle (角度)? A guitar can look very different depending on which angle one looks at it from. Their answer was to show all the angles. They broke the guitar up into pieces. Their style of painting is called cubism.‎ But why did they feel such a need to change things? Well, the world around them was changing, too. Science was turning people’s ideas upside down. Albert Einstein’s theory was proving that what we knew about time and space was wrong. And new political movements like socialism were on the rise. The world was becoming different; artists needed to start seeing and painting it differently.‎ The famous and terrifying painting Guernica (1937) shows the horror of the bombing(轰炸) of the town of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War. In the painting, you can actually see the sky falling. Picasso couldn’t have painted it without the skills he learned during his cubist period. Breaking a guitar into pieces was his preparation for showing the world being blown to pieces.‎ ‎28.What is the article mainly about?‎ A. The high price of Picasso’s paintings. B. Picasso’s difficulties in career.‎ C. The popularity of Picasso’s paintings. D. Picasso’s achievements in art.‎ ‎29.In what way did Picasso and Braque paint?‎ A. They painted objects with different depths.‎ B. They made their paintings look like windows.‎ C. They painted an object from different angles.‎ D. They broke objects into pieces and painted them.‎ ‎30.What caused Picasso and Braque to start cubism?‎ A. Einstein’s theory. B. The changing world.‎ C. The rising socialism. D. New political movements.‎ ‎31.The painting Guernica is mentioned to show _______.‎ A. the themes of Picasso’s paintings B. the anger of Picasso at the war C. the preparations Picasso made before D. the artistic effect of cubism D Be careful on January 8th —It's officially the most dangerous day of the year. The insurance（保险）company Hyperion has studied accident statistics（统计数字）and has found that there are more accidents on January 8th than on any other day.‎ Accidents are certainly more likely to happen at particular times of the year. One general rule is that more accidents happen in winter months, because risk increases in bad weather.‎ In 2004 and 2005 Hyperion found that the worst day was January 8th , with 298 accidents reported to them. March 3th was the safest day, with only 89 reports. Six of the ten worst days for driving were in January.‎ It's clear that icy and snowy conditions are dangerous, but some other statistics are puzzling. A British Medical Journal report in 2001, for example, found that hospital admissions were always higher than usual on Friday the 13th .‎ But it is not only when Friday falls on the 13th that it is a dangerous day. Four of the top ten worst days for accidents last year were Fridays-perhaps because everyone is rushing home for the weekend-while Thursdays are the safest day of the week.‎ At what time of the day is an accident most likely to happen? The Health and Safety Authority found that people are most likely to have an accident at 11:00 a. m. , while the safest time of day is between 4: 00 and 5: 00 a. m. —probably because most people are in bed!‎ Finally, good news for Harry Potter fans. Doctors at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford noted that fewer children were in hospital on the weekend when Harry Potter books were available to the public. Deaths fell by over 50% when the last two books went on sale. So if you want to be really safe, you should read a Harry Potter book in bed. at around 5: 00 on a Thursday morning, in summer.‎ ‎32.What is special about Janua, 8th according to Hyperion?‎ A. The weather is often the worst.‎ B. More accidents happen on the day.‎ C. More people are rushed to hospital.‎ D. It's the best day to buy insurance.‎ ‎33.Why are Fridays considered to be dangerous days?‎ A. Fridays often fall on the 13th .‎ B. Busy weekdays tire people out.‎ C. Everyone is in a hurry to go home.‎ D. It's easy for people to stay up.‎ ‎34.What happened when there was a new Harry Potter book?‎ A. It became the safest day of the year.‎ B. People were more likely to go out.‎ C. Fewer children ended up in hospital.‎ D. The driving conditions turned the worst.‎ ‎35.What is the purpose of this text?‎ A. To solve a problem.‎ B. To give practical advice.‎ C. To tell an interesting story.‎ D. To show some study results.‎ ‎ 第二节 七选五(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。‎ ‎ Recent scientific studies have only underlined the importance of good sleep. But just what can a woman (or man) do to get a good night’s rest? 36..‎ Silky (丝滑) Smooth For silky smooth skin, buy some silky smooth cloth without wrinkling (起皱)！ 37.. Silk won’t leave impressions on the face, those kind of strange marks that can appear anywhere on the body after sleeping on cotton cloth. Soft cloth can suit your body’s natural shapes and help keep their proper form.‎ ‎38.‎ Here’s a simple way for people who have a hard time falling asleep: try taking a shower! Showering can relax the body and mind, helping the muscles to let go of daily stress. 39.. But most importantly, a shower also helps adjust body temperature. To actually fall asleep, our body temperatures need to drop a little bit.‎ Limits Out In order to ensure quality sleep, make sure all lights are out in the room.

These three easy tips will help you sleep better at night D. This kind of cloth don’t wrinkle quite as roughly as cotton E. Sleeping on your back keeps facial skin laying at a natural angle F.
