There are also 30 other nationalities in Tibet, such as Han, Luoba, Hui, Naxi and so on.Tibet lies on the QinghaiTibetan Plateau, with an average landrise of 4,000 meters above the sea level. It is well-known as the Roof of the World and The Third Pole of the Globe. The world highest summit Himalayan, which crosses the border between China and Nepal, claims a height of 8,848 meters above the sea level.The characteristics of the Plateau climate are great difference of different heights and of days and nights. The northern part is dry and cold. On the whole, Tibet claims a low temperature, long-day sunshine, strong radiation, low rainfall and thin air.The pastoral(畜牧的)area of Tibet is one of the five biggest in China, in which sheep, goats and yaks(牦牛) are grazed(放牧). Farming crops are mainly highland wheat, beans and rape-seeds as well as some apples and walnuts. Tibet has a forest coverage of 60,000 square kilometers, which is the second largest timber deposit(木材储量) in China. The dear animal and herb medicines are world-famous.Being the capital city, with 1,300 years of history, Lhasa, which means holy of Buddhas land in Tibet, is the political, religious, economical and cultural center of Tibet.1. The passage mainly introduces some information about .A. Potala PalaceB. TibetC. LhasaD. the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau2. Which of the following does NOT belong to the characteristics of Tibets climate?A. A low temperatureB. Long-day sunshineC. Strong radiationD. Much rainfall3. The underlined word “perched” in Paragraph 1 probably means .A. restingB. appearingC. overlookingD. presentingBClimate change has been blamed for killer hurricanes, sea level rise, and drought, but a new report suggests the effects of climate change might hit the worlds coffee supply. Up to 70 percent of the worlds coffee supply could be threatened over the next 66 years, according to a new study by researchers at Englands Royal Botanic Gardens.Nearly 100 percent of the worlds Arabica coffee growing regions could become unsuitable for the plant by 2080, according to the study. Beans from Arabica coffee plants account for about 70 percent of the worlds coffee, but the plant also has to be grown under strict weather conditions: they grow well at temperatures between 64 and 70 degrees Celsius, and are highly influenced by frost（霜）or temperatures higher than 73 degrees Celsius.With temperatures estimated to increase by between 1.8 and 4 degrees Celsius by the end of the century, the fragile plant might become increasingly expensive and difficult to grow, especially in places such as Ethiopia and Kenya. In that worst case, nearly all of the worlds native Arabica coffee would die out. Under more conservative（保守的）estimates, about 65 percent of the regions used to grow the coffee would become unsuitable for it The evidence from coffee farmers and coffee growing regions around the world is that they are already suffering from the influences of increased warming.Some farmers would likely be able to move their operations to other areas or would be able to overcome climate change with artificial（人工的）cooling techniques, but wild Arabica is generally considered to be much more suitable for making high-quality coffee. If Arabica becomes impossible to raise in its native areas, it could do serious damage to the economies of the mainly third-world countries in which it grows. Coffee is the worlds most popular drink and is the second most-traded product in the world, behind oil.4. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Climate change affects people in many ways.B. More and more attention has been paid to climate change.C. The worlds coffee supply could be threatened by climate change.D. The growing conditions of Arabica coffee have been improved recently.5. What can be learned from Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3?A. According to the study, by 2080 nowhere can be suitable for Arabica coffee growing.B. 65 percent of the worlds coffee gets raw materials from Arabica coffee plants.C. Arabica coffee plants will grow well at temperatures lower than 60 degrees Celsius.D. Coffee farmers are the biggest victims of climate change.6. In order to solve the problem of Arabica, coffee plants, some farmers .A. would make efforts to produce high-quality coffee.B. would bring in artificial cooling techniques.C. would tend to move to some warm places.D. would grow more wild Arabica.7. What is the result if Arabica coffee has less production?A. Coffee will replace oil to be the first most-traded commodity.B. Coffee is likely to become less popular than before.C. Some countries will suffer great economic losses.D. Farmers will plant other crops instead of coffee.CAt heart, parents always wish the best for their children, and they work hard for that. Nowadays, we see parents deciding the schools for their little ones before the baby is even born. Once kids start going to school, some parents want to have a time-to-time update of their kids activities. They want to come to the classroom every day, keep an eye on whom they talk to, know the friends they keep, start telling them how to do their job, and keep talking or giving a feedback (反馈) to them about everything under the sun. Besides, they send their kids for extra hobby classes, as they want their children to do best in every field.When it comes to the education, super mom and dad have all the plans made for their children, and I am sure that they have come up with the best. So, try to fight for the dreams that your parents have seen for you. However, in some cases, it may happen that the kids have some different dreams. Parents sometimes dont even consider the choice of their kids and may force them to do what they wanted to do in life. Its good to plan the future for the children, but leave at least some decisions to them.So what should the children do? First, hear out all the plans that your parents have made for you. If you have some different ideas, then sit down and talk to your family about it. Be patient and respect their decisions, but put your plan forth, and make them understand what you want to do and why. Many times, you are not aware about the difficulties that you may have to face while pursuing your dreams. Ask your parents for suggestions, which will make them feel good and involved. That way, they may support you if you are going on the right path.8.

Objective B. Doubtful C. Uncaring D. SupportiveDChina will soon publish regulations for civilian unmanned aircraft that will help put an end to irregular flights, according to an industry insider.Ke Yubao, executive secretary-general of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association of China, said on Monday that the Civil Aviation Administration of China has drafted a temporary regulation on the operation of light-duty civilian drones and is asking for suggestions and opinions.“The regulation will be published as soon as early December,” he said.The regulation will contribute to perfecting the management of unmanned aircraft and make it more convenient for drone owners, according to Ke.“Currently, there are several CAAC regulations that govern the use of civilian drones, but most of them lack specific and practical rules,” Ke said. “The new regulation will set clear rules on which flights are legal and which are not permitted.”Ke noted the regulation will ban small drones from delivering packages to urban residents. Such drone-based delivery systems are being developed and tested by online shopping service providers like US firm Amazon.“This is because the detection and collision-avoidance systems on small drones are not good enough to avoid buildings and electric wires. A collision and crash will pose a threat to the safety of people on the ground,” he said.Under the new regulation, a drone that weights less than 25 kilograms and flies at an altitude of lower than 150 meters will be allowed to operate but will still need to register with the civil aviation authority, he said.Those weighing from 25 to 150 kg will have to go through airworthiness certification(认证) before they are allowed to operate.All flights performed by drones will be required to present a flight plan before an aircraft takes off, Ke said.An industry report recently released by the association estimates that nearly 90 percent of civilian drones on the Chinese mainland are lighter than 25 kg and have a ceiling of 150 meters.There are about 20,000 drones on the mainland in use for civilian purposes. Businesses including agricultural pest control, environmental monitoring and geographic surveying have greatly benefited from the use of drones, according to Zhang Feng, board chairman of the association.12. “Drones”, as mentioned in the article above, mean .A. unmanned aircraft B. regulations C. pilots D. flight plans13. Under the new regulation, if a drone weighing 100 kg is to be operated, it wont be required to .A. register with the civil aviation authority B. go through airworthiness certification C. present a flight planD. stay below an altitude of 150 meters14. People are enjoying the benefits from the use of drones except .A. geographic surveying B. pest controlling C. package delivering D. environment monitoring 15. Which of the following would be the best title for this article?A. New rules to control illegal flying of civilian drones B. A brief introduction to drones and regulations C. The current situation of drone flying in China D. Drones and their benefits第二节（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。（E涂黑AB；F涂黑AC；G涂黑AD）The office of the future will look quite different from the office of today. There will be big savings in space, because records will not to be kept on paper. Also, because things can be done at a much quicker pace, its likely that working hours will be much shorter. 16 Because a company needs less stuff it can afford to pay workers more money. 17 Are you a secretary, clerk, or a receptionist? If you are, you should be worried by the changes that are going to take place. Because of information technology, your job may become unnecessary in the near future. You will certainly have to know more about using the computer. 18 Instead of doing just one of the three jobs mentioned above, its likely that a person will have to do all three. Because of this, theres likely to be unemployment. While bosses will benefit because they can employ less people, thousands of office workers will find themselves out of work. 19 They will be forced to learn new skills which require the use of the computer to survive.There may be some good points to the changes for workers as well as employers however.
