【題目】閱讀下面的短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C、D)中，選出最佳選項。

B

Tears are nature's way making us feel comfortable. When our eyes are made uncomfortable by some small pieces of pollution, or when we are cutting onions, or when we are exhausted and “red-eyes” from overwork and late hours, tears from in our eyes to clean and refresh them.

Tears are also a sign of strong emotion. We cry when we are sad and we cry when we are happy.

And tears seem to be uniqueness(唯一)of human. We know that animals also experience emotion—fear, pleasure, loneliness—but they do not shed(流)tears. From this we can conclude that tears are closely related to the emotional and biological makeup of the human species.

Biologically speaking, tears are actually drops of saline fluid, which is a little bit salty, produced by a gland(腺)in the body. Because salt is an important component, tears may actually constitute the most conclusive evidence that the human animals are the end product of a long evolutionary(進化的)process that began in the sea.

And it is clear that, in addition to(除了)the emotional benefits, the shedding of tears has a specific biological function as well. Through tears, we can eliminate from our body certain chemicals which build up in response to stress and cerate a chemical imbalance in the body. Crying actually makes us feel better by correcting that imbalance and making us feel good again. And thus the emotional and the biological functions of tears merge(合并)into one and make us even more “human” than we would otherwise be.

【1】According to the passage, human beingsmay have originated in________.

A．the sea

B．the salt

C．chemicals

D．a(chǎn)nimals

【2】Which of the following is NOT a function of tears?

A．Biological.

B．Emotional.

C．Political.

D．Chemical.

【3】According to the article, which of the following is unique to humans?

A．The feeling of loneliness.

B．The state of feeling good.

C．The ability to shed tears.

D．The feeling of fear.

【4】The word “eliminate” probably means________.

A．a(chǎn)dd

B．produce

C．replace

D．remove

【題目】San Francisco(People's Daily Online)-- Apple Inc. Tuesday introduced its mobile payment service Apple Pay alongside the company's iPhone 6 Plus and Apple Watch at the Flint Center in Cupertino, California.

What apple does is to replace consumers' wallet with its cell phone. Apple said it hopes to speed up the checkout process, make credit-card payments more secure and ultimately, to replace physical wallets.

With the near-field communication technology, Apple's gadgets like iPhone and Apple watch can transmit a radio signal between the device and a receiver when the two are in an inch apart. "To pay, just hold your iPhone near the contactless reader with your finger on Touch ID. You don’t even have to look at the screen to know your payment information was successfully sent," Apple says on its official website.

Apple said that each transaction (交易)would be authorized(授權(quán)) with a one-time, unique number, creating a security code that it said is more secure than the one on the back of your credit card because cashiers wont see your name, card number or security code. The service will work with the three major payment networks — American Express, MasterCard and Visa — and Apple said that there are 220,000 merchant locations that accept these contactless payments.

When some applaud this disrupted service that will compete with Paypal and endanger other online payment companies, some others concern about its safety, especially when another retailer Home Depot confirmed a data opening yesterday and iCloud was reported exposing nude (裸體)pictures of celebrities (名人) week ago.

Leo Zheng, a technology reporter in Silicon Valley said: "When Apple attracts consumers to put all their cards into one iPhone and promised the security, Jennifer Lawrence should say something."

【1】Which can be the best title for the passage?

A.Apple announces mobile payment service to replace consumers' wallet.

B．Consumers can pay in cash through mobile phones.

C．Apple Inc. will introduce new models to the market.

D．Mobile payment will be popular soon.

【2】 After reading the third paragraph, we know .

A．Apple’s new products are popular

B．Apple can be used as an ID

C．Apple's gadgets can receive message easily

D．how Apple's gadgets work

【3】The attitude of the writer towards the mobile payment is .

A．indifferent (冷漠的) B．objective

C．skeptical D．positive

【4】 What could have happened to Jennifer Lawrence?

A．She made great contributions to Apple.

B．She put all her cards into her iPhone.

C．Her nude pictures were spread online.

D．Her iPhone often broke down.

【題目】Why was Bastille important to the citizens of Paris? The building of the Bastille had been started in 1370 under Charles V. By the seventeenth century, it had stopped to be important for defense. Cardinal Richelieu turned it into a prison. It was not an ordinary prison to punish common crimes. Its huge doors closed only on enemies of the King. The Bastille's workings were secret. Prisoners were taken to it in closed vehicles. Soldiers on guard duty had to stand with their faces to the wall. No talking was allowed. Worst of all, a prisoner never knew if he would be there a day, a week, a year, or forever. Only the King's letter could set him free.

Over the years, the number of arrests by King's letter had become fewer. By the time of its fall, most of the prisoners were writers who had written against the corruptions(貪污腐敗) of the government. Voltaire, the famous French writer, spent a year there in 1717-1718, and another 12 days in 1726.

For those who believed in free speech and free thinking, the Bastille stood for everything evil. The day it was captured, only seven prisoners were found inside. Still, the Bastille was hated by the people. It was a symbol of the King's complete power.

【1】The Bastille had been a prison ______.

A. since the time of Charles V

B. since 1370

C. before the seventeenth century

D. since the time of Cardinal Richelieu

【2】According to the passage, which of the following statements is FALSE?

A. Anyone who did somethng wrong could find himself suddenly in the Bastille.

B. The Bastille was only for those who were opposed to the King.

D. Voltaire was twice put in the Bastille.

【3】At the time of its fall, the Bastille housed ______.

A. a large number of prisoners

B. a lot of writers who had been against the government

C. only a few prisoners

D. some dozens of people who believed in free speech and free thinking

【4】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The King could put people in, or let them go out, as he wanted.

【題目】Tourism Problems

Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants(居民)of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country's economy(經(jīng)濟). It is important to think about the people of a destination(目的地)country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the wellbeing of local inhabitants.

Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country's economy can suffer.

On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people will lose jobs. Businesses will also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build a large hotels, airports, air terminals, firstclass roads, and other support facilities(設(shè)施)needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major internationalclass tourism hotel needs as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel will lose money.

Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.

【1】Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT________.

A．a(chǎn) bad effect on other industries

B．a(chǎn) change of tourists' customs

C．overcrowding of places of interest

D．pressure on traffic

【2】Not enough tourism can lead to________.

A．a(chǎn)n increase of unemployment

B．a(chǎn) decrease in tourist attractions

C．the higher cost of support facilities

D．a(chǎn) rise in price and a fall in pay

【3】The word“handle”in the last paragraph most probably means“________”．

A．carry away

B．pick up

C．get in

D．take down

【題目】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中選出最佳選項。

(2012年北京模擬)Employment practices often reflect the needs of employers several decades ago. Times have changed. And so too has the Canadian workforce. Yet many employment practices have not kept pace with this change. For example，some work environments and washrooms designed for able-bodied workers seldom accommodate people who use a wheelchair.

Modernizing these practices is what employment equality is about. For example，making sure work benches and washrooms are adapted for disabled people entering the workplace，paving the way for workers who become disabled on the job. By doing so，any given group of people－formerly discriminated against－now has access to better employment opportunities.

The objective，of course，is to make the workplace reflect Canadian society. However，this does not necessarily mean setting and enforcing quotas(實行配額)．Rather，it means identifying the barriers to employment and designing measures，with achievable goals and clear timetables，to remove them.

For example，according to the Canadian Union of Public Employees－Canada's largest union，it would be unrealistic in the short term to insist that because half of the working age population is women，that half of the employees of an engineering firm should be women. At this moment，there would not be enough qualified female engineers.

A reasonable numerical goal would be based on the number of women who actually are engineers(8%) and those who are studying to become engineers(25%)．A short term goal of 13% would be appropriate without running the risk of hiring unqualified people.

Equally important is to ensure people who have been disadvantaged the chance to become qualified for new opportunities. If aboriginal peopl(土著居民)，for example，can't qualify for certain jobs because they haven't had access to appropriate educational opportunities，then an employment equality program would have to address that problem with training programs.

Employment laws in this country cannot be considered displeasing if they guarantee all Canadians fair and equal access to the workforce.

【1】The passage is mainly about how to ________.

A．modernize equipment for the disabled at work

B．a(chǎn)chieve equality of employment opportunities

C．protect women's rights in employment

D．complete a job training program

【2】The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refers to ________.

A．barriers

B．measures

C．goals

D．timetables

【3】The example of women shows that ________.

A．only a small percentage of women engineers will get promoted

B．13% of the working age women should be hired

C．policy makers should adopt a practical and flexible approach

D．the quota of women for employment should be raised

【4】The underlined word “address” in Paragraph 6 probably means ________.

A．put forward

B．run into

C．find out

D．deal with
