Hawking was born in Oxford, England, on January 8, 1942. During his life, he married twice, and had three children. When he was a kid, Hawking went to school in St. Albans—a small city near London. Although he did well, he was never top of his class. After leaving high school, Hawking went first to Oxford University to study physics, and then he went to Cambridge University to study the universe(宇宙). At the age of twenty, Hawking started noticing that something was wrong with him. Later, he went to the hospital and doctors said that he would die before he was 23. But Hawking didn't give up. In 1988, Hawking completed his book A Brief History of Time. In the book, he talked about many things, like the universe, the big bang(宇宙大爆炸) and the black hole.(1)At which university did Hawking study physics?A.Oxford University. B.St Albans University. C.ambridge University. D.London University.(2)Hawking first felt there was something wrong with his body when he was ___.A.21 B.22 C.12 D.20(3)Which of the following is NOT true?A.Hawking was a very famous physicist.B.Hawking married but didn’t have children.C.Hawking was born in Oxford, England in 1942.D.octors said Hawking would die before he was 23.(4)The passage is mainly about ________.A.Hawking’s lifeB.Hawking’s studyC.why Hawking got illD.how Hawking became famousMobile phones help us easily find people anywhere at any time. A mobile phone can include many things, such as games, music and Internet access (互联网接入). Today, 4.6 billion people around the world have mobile phones, according to CBS News. However, mobile phones may cause cancer, according to the World Health Organization. In a 2010 study, people who used a mobile phone for 10 years or more were more than twice as likely to get brain cancer, according to CNN. "I think it is a good idea to give the public some kind of warning that long﹣term exposure (暴露) to radiation (辐射) from your mobile phone could possibly cause cancer, " told Dr. Henry Lai. Lai is a scientist of bioengineering (生物工程) at the University of Washington who has studied radiation for more than 30 years. These suggestions may help you reduce your risk of cancer: 1.Use a headset (耳机) or speaker. Headsets give out much less radiation than phones. Some headsets give out low﹣level radiation. However, you should take the headset off your ear when you're not talking to anyone. Using your phone with a speaker will also make it safer. 2.Listen more, talk less. Your iphone gives out radiation when you talk or text, but not when you're listening or getting messages. Listening more and talking less can lower the risk of cancer. 3.Hold the phone away from your body. Hold the phone away from your body when you're talking, not against your ear.Also, don't keep it in your pocket. 4.Choose texting over talking. Phones, give out less radiation to send texts than to carry a person's voice. Texting also keeps radiation away from your head. 5.Poor signal? Stay off the phone. A poor signal means that the phone needs to give out more radiation to work. Make and take calls when your phone has a strong signal.(1)The study from 2010 showed that________.A.people should use mobile phones for no more than 10 yearsB.people who don't use mobile phones will not get brain cancerC.the longer people use mobile phones, the more likely they are to get brain cancerD.the more mobile phones people have, the more likely they are to get brain cancer.(2)Which is NOT true about the suggestions mentioned in the passage?________A.Some headsets don't give out radiation.B.It's not good to carry mobile phones in pockets.C.Texting is better than making phone calls.D.on't make calls when the signal is weak..(3)The passage mainly talks about________.A.the development and advantages of mobile phonesB.the reason why mobile phone radiation causes cancerC.the best ways to use mobile phones to communicateD.how to protect ourselves from mobile phone radiation.There are lots of dangerous and terrible insects in Northeastern India, but the tree﹣bees are the most terrible. They are killers. Unlike most bees which will sting (叮咬) you only if they are disturbed (打扰), tree﹣bees will attack you in thousands for no reason. And they will chase (追赶) you for your life. Walking along a dusty road while I was on holiday there last year. I found myself, without the least warning, the centre of such an attack. The air above me suddenly became thick with bees. Though it was hot, I went cold all over. Until then I had never heard of Indian tree﹣bees, but I had recently seen a film called "The Angry Swarm", which was about killer﹣bees. I began running to the village about half a mile away, but I was soon covered from head to foot with bees. I drove them away with my hands, only to make room for others. Each time I opened my mouth for breath, more bees entered my mouth, until it was stung to twice its usual size and I could hardly breathe. When I reached the village, I found some workers building a house. I ran towards them for help. But as soon as the workers saw the bees with me, they ran for safety at top speed. Soon my eyes had completely closed. I fell into a pile of brick dust. I pushed myself wildly down into it until my head and shoulders were covered. And then I tried hard to get out of the dust, the angry bees made a new attack on me. I was tired out and ran weakly about in circles. Soon I lost my consciousness (意识). Later I learned that two quick﹣minded villagers ran to a pile of dry grass and quickly surrounded (包围) me with a thick wall of fire and smoke until the bees were driven away. They stayed with me, taking stings out of my body for the next three hours until a doctor came and gave me further treatment.(1)What can we infer (推断) from the second paragraph?________A. The temperature went down at that time.B. The air suddenly became thick because of the dust.C. The writer knew Indian tree﹣bees were the most dangerous.D. The writer felt scared when he was surrounded by tree﹣bees..(2)In which order did the following things happen to the writer?________a. He tried to drive away the bees but failed. b. He was surrounded with a thick wall of fire and smoke. c. He was tired out and lost consciousness later. d. He watched a film named "The Angry Swarm". e. He was attacked by tree﹣bees while taking a walk.A. e﹣a﹣c﹣b﹣d B. d﹣e﹣a﹣c﹣b C. e﹣b﹣a﹣d﹣c D. d﹣e﹣a﹣b﹣c.(3)Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?________A. Tree﹣bees often attack people in large numbers.B. Tree﹣bees can be driven away by fire and smoke.C. Tree﹣bees do not give up easily when they attack people.D. Tree﹣bees will not attack people unless they are disturbed..
My daughter Allie is leaving for college in a week. Her room is piled with shopping bags filled with blankets, towels, jeans, sweaters. She won’t talk about going.I say, “I’m going to miss you,” and she gives me one of her looks and leaves the room. Another time I say, in a voice so friendly it surprises even me: “Do you think you’ll take your posters and pictures with you, or will you get new ones at college?”She answers, her voice filled with annoyance, “How should I know?” My daughter is off with friends most of the time. Yesterday was the last day she’d have until Christmas with her friend Katharine, whom she’s known since kindergarten. Soon, it will be her last day with Sarah, Claire, Heather... and then it will be her last day with me. My friend Karen told me, “The August before I left for college, I screamed at my mother the whole month. Be prepared.” I stand in the kitchen, watching Allie make a glass of iced tea. Her face, once so open and trusting, is closed to me. I struggle to think of something to say to her, something meaningful and warm. I want her to know I’m excited about the college she has chosen, that I know the adventure of her life is just starting and that I am proud of her. But the look on her face is so mad that I think she might hit me if I open my mouth. One night — after a long period of silence between us — I asked what I might have done or said to make her angry with me. She sighed and said, “Mom, you haven’t done anything. It’s fine.” It is fine — just distant. Somehow in the past we had always found some way to connect. When Allie was a baby, I would go to the day-care center after work. I’d find a quiet spot and she would nurse — our eyes locked together, reconnecting with each other. In middle school, when other mothers were already regretting the distant relationship they felt with their adolescent daughters, I hit upon a solution: rescue measures. I would show up occasionally at school, sign her out of class and take her somewhere — out to lunch, to the movies, once for a long walk on the beach. It may sound irresponsible, but it kept us close when other mothers and daughters were quarrelling. We talked about everything on those outings — outings we kept secret from family and friends. When she started high school, I’d get up with her in the morning to make her a sandwich for lunch, and we’d silently drink a cup of tea together before the 6:40 bus came. A couple of times during her senior year I went into her room at night, the light off, but before she went to sleep. I’d sit on the edge of her bed, and she’d tell me about problems: a teacher who lowered her grade because she was too shy to talk in class, a boy who teased her, a friend who had started smoking. Her voice, coming out of the darkness, was young and questioning. A few days later I’d hear her on the phone, repeating some of the things I had said, things she had adopted for her own. But now we are having two kinds of partings. I want to say good-bye in a romantic way. For example, we can go to lunch and lean across the table and say how much we will miss each other. I want smiles through tears, bittersweet moments of memory and the chance to offer some last bits of wisdom.But as she prepares to depart, Allie has hidden her feelings. When I reach to touch her arm, she pulls away. She turns down every invitation I extend. She lies on her bed, reading Emily Dickinson until I say I have always loved Emily Dickinson, and then she closes the book.Some say the tighter your bond with your child, the greater her need to break away, to establish her own identity in the world. The more it will hurt, they say. A friend of mine who went through a difficult time with her daughter but now has become close to her again, tells me, “Your daughter will be back to you.” “I don’t know,” I say. I sometimes feel so angry that I want to go over and shake Allie. I want to say, “Talk to me — or you’re grounded!” I feel myself wanting to say that most horrible of all mother phrases: “Think of everything I’ve done for you.”Late one night, as I’m getting ready for bed she comes to the bathroom door and watches me brush my teeth. For a moment, I think I must be brushing my teeth in a way she doesn’t approve of. But then she says, “I want to read you something.” It’s a brochure from her college. “These are tips for parents.”I watch her face as she reads the advice aloud: “ ‘Don’t ask your child if she is homesick,’ it says. ‘She might feel bad the first few weeks, but don’t let it worry you. This is a natural time of transition. Write her letters and call her a lot. Send a package of candies...’ ”Her voice breaks, and she comes over to me and buries her head in my shoulder. I stroke her hair, lightly, afraid she’ll run if I say a word. We stand there together for long moments, swaying. Reconnecting.I know it will be hard again. It’s likely there will be a fight about something. But I am grateful to be standing in here at midnight, both of us tired and sad, toothpaste spread on my chin, holding tight to—while also letting go of—my daughter who is trying to say good-bye.1.Why is there a period of silence between the author and Allie one night?A.

【阅读理解】阅读文章选出正确的答案。 It used to be so straightforward. A team of researchers working together in the laboratory would submit the results of their research to a journal. A journal editor would then remove the author’s names and affiliations from the paper and send it to their peers for review. Depending on the comments received, the editor would accept the paper for publication or decline it. Copyright rested with the journal publisher, and researchers seeking knowledge of the results would have to subscribe to the journal. No longer, The Internet---and pressure from funding agencies, who are questioning why commercial publishers are making money from government--funded research by restricting access to it---is making access to scientific results a reality. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) was just issued a report describing the far-reaching consequences of this. The report, by john Houghton of Victoria University in Australia and Graham Vickery of the OECD, makes heavy reading for publishers who have, so far, made handsome profits. But it goes further than that. It signals a change in what has, until now, been a key element of scientific endeavor. The value of knowledge and the return on the public investment in research depends, in part, upon wide distribution and ready access. It is big business. In America, the core scientific publishing market if estimated at between 7 billion and II billion. The International Association of Scientific, Technical and Medical publishers says that there are more than 2,000 publishers worldwide specializing in these subjects. They publish more than 1.2 million articles each year in some 16,000 journals. This is now changing. According to the OECD report, some 75% of scholarly journals are now online. Entirely new business models are emerging; three ones were identified by the report's author. There is the so-called big deal, where institutional subscribers pay for access to a collection of online journal titles through site licensing agreements. There is open-access publishing, typically supported by asking the author (or his employer)for the paper to be published. Finally, there are open-access archives, where originations such as universities of international laboratories support institutional repositories. Other models exist that are hybrids of these three, such as delayed open-access, where journals allow only subscribers to read a paper for the first six months, before making it freely available to everyone who wishes to see it. All this could change the traditional form of the peer-review process, at least for the publication of papers.一、 In the first paragraph, the author discusses____. A、the background information of journal editing. B、the publication routine of laboratory reports. C、the relations of authors with journal publishers. D、the traditional process of journal publication. 二、 Which of the following is true of the OECD report? A、It criticizes government-funded research. B、It introduces an effective means of publication. C、It upsets profit-making journal publishers. D、It benefits scientific research considerably. 三、 According to the text, online publication is significant in that____. A、it provides an easier access to scientific results. B、it brings huge profits to scientific researchers. C、it emphasizes the crucial role of scientific knowledge. D、it facilitates public investment in scientific research. 四、 With the open-access publishing model, the author of a paper if required to____. A、cover the cost of its publication. B、subscribe to the journal publishing it. C、allow other online journals to use it freely. D、complete the peer-review before submission. 五、 Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the passage? A、The Internet is posing a threat to publishers. B、A new modal of publication is emerging. C、Authors welcome the new channel for publication D、Publication is rendered easier by online service

Americans experience more food recalls (召回) today than they did five years ago, especially when it comes to meat and poultry (家禽). Meat and poultry recalls increased by two-thirds from 2013 to 2018, while food recalls overall went up 10%, according to the report recently published by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group.Meanwhile, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates (估计) 48 million people get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized and 3,000 die from food-borne disease each year in the U.S. "We are looking for the farm-to-fork preventative solutions," said Adam Garber, the research group's consumer watchdog. "By doing that, we can protect people's health."Over the five-year period, poultry posted the most recalls (168), followed by beef (137) and pork (128). The report shows the most serious meat recalls are on the rise. Among meat and poultry, the number of Class I recalls has increased by 83%, nearly doubling. Class I, the most serious of the recalls, is issued when there is a reasonable probability that the food will cause health problems or death.53. When would Class I recalls be issued?A. When the food is likely to cause health problems or death.B. When there are too many complaints from customers.C. When the food problem lasts for five years.D. When the product quality is below standard.

The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding.

The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.
