1.When kids hit puberty(青春期),their bodies and minds go through tons of changes,including the larynx,the voice box in the throat.The larynx is what gives you your voice.You can find your larynx by touching the front of your throat and humming.When you feel vibrations(震動(dòng)) under your fingers,you've found it!
When the larynx grows larger during puberty,it sticks out at the front of the throat.This is what's called an Adam's apple.Everyone's larynx grows during puberty,but a girl's larynx doesn't grow as much as a boy's does.That's why boys have Adam's apples.Most girls don't have Adam's apples,but some do.
But why is it called an Adam's apple?If you think it's called that after the story of the Garden of Eden where Adam ate a piece of the forbidden fruit that got stuck in his throat,you're right.An Adam's apple sometimes looks like a small,rounded apple just under the skin in the front of the throat.
This larger larynx also gives boys deeper voices.Actually,girls'voices get a little bit deeper as their larynxes get larger,too.But because boys'larynxes grow so much more,it makes their voices deeper than girls'voices.
The larynx doesn't grow to its new size overnight,though.If you've ever heard a teenage boy's voice sound squeaky(發(fā)短促尖叫聲的),you've heard a larynx trying to get adjusted to its new size!
28.Who has Adam's apples after puberty?D
A.All kids.
B.Most girls.
C.Most boys.
D.Boys.
29.What makes a person's voice deeper?A
A.The size of the larynx.
B.The length of puberty.
C.The amount of body changes.
D.The shape of one's throat.
30.Which of the following is true about the larynx?B
A.The larynx comes after Adam's apples.
B.The larynx grows gradually in one's teens.
C.The larynx grows the moment a person is born.
D.The larynx is a piece of apple stuck in the throat.
31.What's mainly talked about in the text?B
A.Where an Adam's apple exists.
B.What an Adam's apple is.
C.When teenagers have their puberty.
D.How squeaky a teenage boy's voice sounds.

20.Humans have sewn by hand for thousands of years.It was said that the first thread was made from animal muscle and sinew.And the earliest needles were made from bones.Since those early days,many people have been involved in the process of developing a machine that could do the same thing more quickly and with greater efficiency.
Charles Wiesenthal,who was born in Germany,designed and received a patent on a double-pointed needle that eliminated the need to turn the needle around with each stitch(縫合) in England in 1755.Other inventors of that time tried to develop a functional sewing machine,but each design had at least one serious imperfection.
Frenchman Barthelemy Thimonnier finally engineered a machine that really worked.However,he was nearly killed by a group of angry tailors when they burned down his garment factory.They feared that they would lose their jobs to the machine.
American inventor Elias Howe,born on July 9,1819,was awarded a patent for a method of sewing that used thread from two different sources.Howe's machine had a needle with an eye at the point,and it used the two threads to make a special stitch called a lockstitch.However,Howe faced difficulty in finding buyers for his machines in America.In frustration,he traveled to England to try to sell his invention there.When he finally returned home,he found that dozens of manufacturers were adapting his discovery for use in their own sewing machines.
Isaac Singer,another American inventor,was also a manufacturer who made improvements to the design of sewing machines.He invented an up-and-down-motion mechanism that replaced the side-to-side machines.He also developed a foot treadle(腳踏板) to power his machine.This improvement left the sewer's hands free.Undoubtedly,it was a huge improvement of the hand-cranked machine of the past.Soon the Singer sewing machine achieved more fame than the others for it was more practical,it could be adapted to home use and it could be bought on hire-purchase.The Singer sewing machine became the first home appliance,and the Singer company became one of the first American multinationals.
However,Singer used the same method to create a lockstitch that Howe had already patented.As a result,Howe accused him of patent infringement(侵犯).Of course,Elias Howe won the court case,and Singer was ordered to pay Howe royalties(版稅).In the end,Howe became a millionaire,not by manufacturing the sewing machine,but by receiving royalty payments for his invention.

72.Barthelemy Thimonnier's garment factory was burned down becauseD.
A.people did not know how to put out the fire
B.Elias Howe thought Thimonnier had stolen his invention
C.the sewing machines was couldn't work finally
D.workers who feared the loss of their jobs to a machine set fire
73.Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?B
A.Singer is an American inventor and manufacturer.
B.The Singer sewing company became more practical.
C.The foot treadle helped to make the sewer's hands free.
D.Singer made improvements to the design of sewing machines.
74.Why did the court force Isaac Singer to pay Elisa Howe a lifetime of royalties?B
A.Because the judge was against Singer for his surly attitude.
B.Because Howe had already patented the lockstitch used by Singer.
C.Because Singer had borrowed money from Howe and never repaid it.
D.Because Singer and Howe had both invented the same machine.
75.Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?D
A.A Stitch in Time Saves Nine
B.The Case between Howe and Singer
C.Patent Laws on the Sewing Machine
D.The Early History of the Sewing Machine.

17.Online shoppers would rather receive an offer for a product or service than make their own offer 3according to a study led by a Michigan State University scholar that has implications for the fast-growing e-commerce industry.The findings may come as a surprise given that shopping online is an anonymous(匿名的)process that seemingly can give consumers more confidence to drive a hard bargain,said Don Conlon,Professor of Management in MSU's Broad College of Business.
But the study found that participants who made their own offers were less successful in sealing the deal and,when they were successful?worried they overpaid Many shoppers found the process of researching an offer to be a hassle."Americans are very busy,and it's less time-consuming to be the one receiving the offer rather than the one proposing the offer"Conlon said.u People tend to be happier when they're in the receiver role."
Online spending in the United States is expected to jump 45percent in the next four years,from 226billionthisyearto 327billion in 2017,according to Forrester Research Inc.Nevertheless,researches into this prosperous market remain largely focused on the strategies of companies,rather than those o£shoppers.Conlon's study is,obviously,a rare exception.
Conlon got the idea for the study after considering the difference between two popular sites for hotels and airline flights,priceline.com,which takes bids,and hotwire.com,which provides offers.Using these two models,Conlon and his fellow researchers conducted a series of experiments with more than 850people who were charged with booking a fictional hotel room and acquiring a fictional antique car.Not only did participants prefer to receive bids,Conlon said,but they also secured more deals in that receiver role.Further,when they had to make the bids,they were left more mentally taxed and regretful.
From an industry perspective,putting customers in the receiver role may help fill more hotel rooms and airplane seats."If you're a business with a lot of products3"Conlon said,"you may want to be the one making the offers."However,when selling single items,such as an antique car,accepting bids may be a better option since that typically drives up the price,he said.

67.What can we learn from Para.1?C
A.The result of the study gives customers more confidence.
B.Scholars aren't surprised at the findings of the study.
C.Online shoppers don't bargain as much as expected.
D.E-commerce industry drives more hard bargains.
68.It can be concluded from Conlon's experiments thatB.
A.online shopping is time-consuming
B.given prices help promote online sales
C.online businesses provide a lot of products
D.receiving offers makes online shoppers regretful
69.The underlined word"taxed"in Para.4probably meansA.
A.burdened   B.numbed   C.relieved   D.challenged
70.The passage is mainly aboutC.
A.the big advantages of online shopping
B.the rapid development of online shopping
C.online shoppers'preference for taking offers
D.online companies strategies to improve service.

4.Nowadays,it seems that everybody wants to be a leader.Countless books about how to manage a company or influence others fill bookstores.But one needn't be a CEO or Politician lo be a leader.Former U.S.President John Adams said,"If your action inspires others to dream more,learn more,do more and become more,you are a leader.
The key to becoming such a leader lies in.character.People follow only those whom they respect,trust and admire.What attractive traits does such a leader have?Below are five of the most important.
Leaders have courage
The New York firefighters who ran into the burning World Trade Tower to rescue others are modem-day models of courage.Yet even more than physical courage,the everyday demands of modem life require moral courage.Insisting on doing the right thing despite pressure to act otherwise takes such courage.
Leaders must face fear and doubt in many of the decisions they make.Having these feelings doesn't mean one isn't courageous.After all,courage is not the absence of fear.Rather,it's doing the right thing despite one's fears.
Leaders are humble
Being humble simply means having an accurate view of one's own limitations.Everybody has limitations.Leaders deal with theirs by seeking help from others.
When leaders seek help,they recognize the skills that order other people bring to the table.And when they are successful,leaders generously praise all who contributed to the success.Humble leaders don't promote themselves; they promote others,
learning is a lifelong goal,no matter one's position.Humble leaders are never too proud to learn from all sources of knowledge-even those under them.
Leaders serve others
Just Christ said,"If anyone wants to be first,he must be the very last,and the servant of all."Leaders serve others and put the needs of others before themselves.They make the good of everyone on the team a personal priority.
Leaders who serve others help the whole team accomplish more.Leaders do things to make sure everybody has the resources needed."They go the extra mile to help out during a busy rush.When leaders serve,followers are also encouraged to serve each other.
Leaders have passion
Money or success can motivate someone to show up for an activity,But what motivates one to really put his heart into something?The answer is passion-the feeling that the activity is significant.
Outstanding leaders inspire others because they are motivated by passion for what they do.Leaders show the significance of routine work to others by emphasizing the big picture.They demonstrate how an activity not only benefits the individual,but also one's family,community and entire society.Their passion ignites the passion of others.
Leaders have integrity
One's integrity can be measured by what one does when nobody is looking.Leaders practice what they preach all the time,not just in the presence of others.Leaders also set the example for integrity.If a leader values being punctual,he arrives early-
Leadership is more about who you are than what you know or can do.By following these principles,you can become a better person.And that in turn will make you a better leader.

60.Which should be the very beginning of the text?C
A.Strong and effective leadership might have made the team more successful.
B.Leadership is the position of being the leader.
C.Leadership is not just about what you know or do-it1s also about who you are!
D.Leadership refers to the set of characteristics.
61.What does the underlined word"trait"probably mean?B
A.A strong point that one who serves in.a(chǎn) special field should be skilled in.
B.A particular characteristic that can produce a particular type of behavior.
C.A physical or mental power that is needed to do something.
D.A clear purpose that a good leader should work with.
62.This action"If a leader wants everyone to work hard,he works harder."belongs to"D
A.Leaders are humbleB.Leaders serve others
C.Leaders have passionD.Leaders have integrity
63.What could be the best title for the text?A
A.A Leader's CharacterB.A Leader for an Organization
C.The Abilities of a LeaderD.The Responsibilities of a Leader.

1.Our brains work in complex and strange ways.There are some people who can calculate the day of the week for any given date in 40,000 years,but who cannot add two plus two.Others can perform complex classical piano pieces after hearing them once,but they cannot read or write.
         Dr.J.Langdon Down first described this condition in 1887.He called these people idiot savants.An idiot savant is a person who has significant mental impairment (損傷),such as in autism or retardation.At the same time,the person also exhibits some extraordinary skills,which are unusual for most people.The skills of the savant may vary from being exceptionally gifted in music or in mathematics,or having a photographic memory.
         One of the first descriptions of a human who could calculate quickly was written in 1789 by Dr.Benjamin Rush,an American doctor.His patient,Thomas Fuller,was brought to Virginia as a slave in 1724.It took Thomas only 90 seconds to work out that a man who has lived 70 years,17 days,and 12 hours has lived 2,210,500,800 seconds.Despite this ability,he died in 1790 without ever learning to read or write.
         Another idiot savant slave became famous as a pianist in the 1860s.Blind Tom had a vocabulary of only 100 words,but he played 5,000 musical pieces beautifully.
         In the excellent movie Rain Man,made in 1988 and available on video cassette,Dustin Hoffman plays an idiot savant who amazes his brother played by Tom Cruise,with his ability to perform complex calculations very rapidly.
         Today we more clearly recognize that the idiot savant is special because of brain impairment.Yet not all brain impairment leads to savant skills.Some studies have shown that people who have purposeful interruption of the left side of the brain can develop idiot savant skills.However few people wish to participate in such experiments.There are many excellent reasons for not undergoing unnecessary experimentation on one's brain.The term idiot savant is outdated and inappropriate.Virtually all savants have a high degree of intelligence and are thus not idiots.

19.Archaeologists(考古學(xué)家) studying Stonehenge and its surrounding area say they've dug up the relics of an untouched,ancient campsite that dates back to 6,000years--a find that could rewrite British prehistory.
"This is the most important discovery at Stonehenge in over 60years,"Professor Tim Darvill,a Bournemouth University archaeologist and a Stonehenge expert who did not take part in the new discovery,told the Telegraph.And as he told The Huffington Post in an email,the discovery changes earlier theories that Stonehenge was built in a landscape that was not heavily used before about 3000B.C.
The discovery was made during a dig at Blick Mead,a site about 1.5miles from Stonehenge.Researchers found charcoal(木炭)dating back to 4,000B.C.a(chǎn)nd evidence of possible buildings,according to a statement released by the university.They also dug up burnt stone and tools,as well as the remains of animals--ancient cattle that served as food for ancient hunter-gatherers.
The researchers plan further analysis on the artificial objects but say they're worried the tunnel construction (隧道建設(shè))could damage the site and get in the way of their work.
"Blick Mead could explain what archaeologists have been searching for centuries--an answer to the story of Stonehenge's past,"David Jacques,the University of Buckingham archaeologist who discovered the campsite,told The Guardian."But our only chance to find out about the earliest part of Britain's history could be ruined if the tunnel goes ahead."
Stonehenge,a prehistoric monument made up of a ring of standing stones,lies eight miles north of Salisbury,England in Wiltshire.It has been listed as a World Heritage Site since 1986.
13.The main purpose of the passage isA
A.to introduce a recent discovery of ancient relics
B.to call on people to protect the ancient relics
C.to warn the researchers not to do further analysis
D.to attract more tourists to visit Stonehenge
14.We can learn from the passage thatA.
A.the researchers express their concern that the relics might be ruined
B.the ancient campsite has been destroyed by the construction workers
C.a(chǎn)rchaeologists are repairing artificial objects founded in the relic site
D.the tunnel construction rewrites the earliest part of Britain's history
15.In which section of a newspaper can we read this passageD
