At least, not in the same way they give you corn or apples or tomatoes. I mean, if someone wants to give you a few fresh, juicy peaches off their tree, they walk right up and hand them to you. You will be pleased. It seems that they have confidence you will like their gift. But with zucchini, they left it and went away. No note. No calling card. I thought zucchini is the abandoned orphan（孤儿） of the vegetable kingdom.“Yeah, its nice,” I said. “Who should we thank for this gift?” “I dont know,” Rachel said. “You know how it is with zucchini.” Of course I do. Nobody actually grows it. At least, not on purpose. It just grows like weeds. “So what are you going to do with yours?” I asked. “I will just do what I always do with zucchini,” she said. This morning I stepped into my office area carefully, afraid of what might be there waiting for me. There was a piece of bread in a white box sitting on my desk. I picked it up. It smelled wonderful. I took a bite. It tasted wonderful.“Who made the banana bread?” I asked. Rachel said, “It isnt banana bread. Its zucchini bread.” I stopped chewing. “This couldnt be zucchini. Its delicious!” I paused, and added, “But I dislike zucchini!” “So do I,” Rachel replied. “But a few years ago I found this great way to cook zucchini bread, and now I actually look forward to zucchini season.” I took another bite of the bread. I couldnt help wondering: “How could anything so tasty come from something so distasteful?” “Its a fact of life,” Rachel said. “You mix effort with creativity and you can turn almost anything around.”21.

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 3000 B.C. The discovery was made during a dig at Blick Mead, a site about 1.5 miles from Stonehenge. Researchers found charcoal（木炭） dating back to 4,000 B.C. and 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 theyre worried the tunnel construction （隧道建设）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 Stonehenges 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 Britains 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 1986.25. The main purpose of the passage is _A. to introduce a recent discovery of ancient relicsB. to call on people to protect the ancient relicsC. to warn the researchers not to do further analysisD. to attract more tourists to visit Stonehenge26. We can learn from the passage that_.A. the researchers express their concern that the relics might be ruinedB. the ancient campsite has been destroyed by the construction workersC. archaeologists are repairing artificial objects founded in the relic siteD. the tunnel construction rewrites the earliest part of Britains history27. What might be the best title for the passage? A. Stonehenge Is In Danger of Being Destroyed Because Of the Find. B. New Stonehenge Discovery Described As Most Important In 60 years. C. A New Tunnel Is Being Constructed Under Stonehenge. D. Stonehenge Has Been Listed as a World Heritage Site Since 1986.C Parents are fighting for their childs right to rest across the country. Twenty-three elementary schools in Orange County, Florida, have been cutting back on rest, and even canceling it to increase class time. In a recent Orange County School Board meeting, parents demanded that rest time be carried out in all local schools for all students. Angela Browning, a parent in the area, said that schools rest is ranging from zero to 30 minutes per day. “Five-year-olds not getting rest means abuse,” said Browning, whose twins in the second grade benefit from taking a break and learn better. The main reason for reducing the rest time is Common Core exams including math, language arts and literacy, where the students performance often controls teachers pay and sometimes teachers may lose their jobs. Many teachers are using that extra 20 minutes that would have been spent on the schools scores, everybody is stressful,” said Diana Moore, president of the Orange County Classroom Teachers Association.The requirement of whether reducing rest takes place, and for how long is up to each schools rule. “Florida law requires that districts provide 900 teaching hours during the school year,” Floridas Department of Education press secretary Cheryl Etters said in a statement. “Whether rest is part of the school day is a choice made by the school board.”Reducing rest also can take away an opportunity for children to learn social skills, according to many experts. “In society, who cares if you have straight As and you get a scholarship(奖学金) to Harvard if you lack social skills?” said Mallet, a mother of two children.28. What will Angela Browning agree with?A. Kids of five years old had better get more break time.B. Proper rest time improves childrens learning efficiency.C. The more rest children have, the higher grades they will get.D. Elementary schools should limit kids rest time to 30 minutes.29. What drives so many teachers to reduce students rest time?A. Parents demand B. Students lack of social skills C. Students bad behavior D. The link between their pay and schools scores30. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Social skills are more important than high scoresB. Whether students get As in school is very importantC. Graduates from Harvard cant find good jobs.D. Rest time has nothing to do with students social skills31. Whats the main idea of the text?A. The government is to order schools to increase rest time.B. Students expect to get more time to play in school.C. Parents struggle for the rest right for their kids in school.D. Teachers pay is related to their performance in teaching.DIf you could be anybody in the world, who would it be? Your neighbour or a super star? A few people have experienced what it might be like to step into the skin of another person, thanks to an unusual virtual reality (虚拟现实) glasses. Rikke Wahl, an actress, took part in a body swapping experiment at the Be Another lab. She swapped with her partner, an actor, using a machine called The Machine to Be Another and became a man. As I looked down, I saw my whole body just like a man , in my partners pants, she said. Both users wear virtual reality glasses with a camera on the top. So if she moves her arm, you see it. If you move your arm, she sees it. To get used to seeing another persons body without actually having control of it, participants（参与者） start by raising their arms and legs very slowly, so that the other can follow along. Finally, they really start to feel as though they were living in another persons body. Using such technology promises to change peoples behavior afterwards-potentially for the better. Studies have shown that virtual reality can be useful in fighting biases(偏见) that humans have against those who dont look or sound like them. Researchers did a test called the Implicit Association Test, which measures how strong peoples connection between, for example, black people and adjectives such as good, bad, or stupid is. Then they asked them to control the body of a dark skin using virtual reality glasses, before taking the test again. This time, the participants bias scores were lower. The idea is that once youve put yourself in anothers shoes youre less likely to think ill of them, because your brain has accepted the feeling of being that person.The creators of The Machine to Be Another hope to achieve a similar result. At the end of body swapping, people feel like holding each other in their arms, says Arthur Pointeau, a programmer with the project.32. The underlined phrase “put yourself in anothers shoes” (paragraph 3) means_.A. supposing you were wearing someones shoesB. supposing you were in someones situationC. supposing you followed someone closelyD. supposing you took the place of someone33. We can infer from the experiment at the Be Another lab that .A. our feelings are connected to our body experienceB. we can learn to take control of other peoples bodiesC. people will live more actively after the experimentD. The Machine to Be Another can help people change their skin colors34. After the Implicit Association Test, .A. people began to think ill of the black B. people began to think highly of the blackC. people began to fight for equality of the blackD. peoples biases were reduced 35. It can be concluded from the passage that .A. technology helps people realize their dreamsB. we could get rid of our biases through experimentsC. virtual reality helps the understanding among peopleD. our points of view about others need changing 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。 How to Make a Good First Impression (印象)Have you ever met someone and walked away with fool or loser in mind?
