business reviewing website, the top searches at different times of the night in different european countries vary a lot. below are some of the more interesting findings. take a look.italy: while most europeans are searching for restaurants or bars around 6 pm., the italians are searching for messages, shoes and job agencies.germany：coming from perhaps the most organized and efficient country, the average german is attracted to food and drink. having looked up restaurants and bars earlier in the evening, they have already been searching for breakfast and brunch by 9 pm.uk: karaoke is one of the most popular pastimes in asia, but in europe, the uk seems to be the only nation to look first for karaoke bars in its internet searches, roughly around 9 pm. later into the night, britons are going to 24hour pharmacies (药房)by 10 pm., and then there is a steady interest in 24hour food stores and delivery, until 1 am.france：the french call it a day online quite early, at about 10 pm. but they dont do it until theyve had a chance to put their dancing shoes on, after searching for “night club” and “dance”spain: the spanish seem to be quite practical. they search for elementary schools and dermatology(皮肤科) at 10 pm., followed by swimming lessons at midnight.21. a man searching for education information online often probably comes from _a. spain b. uk c. france d. germany22. we can learn from the text that _a. the italians dont like restaurants or barsb. uk is considered the most organized countryc. asian people often look for karaoke first onlined. usually french people end their online search early23. in which section of a magazine does this text probably come from?a. opinion. b. lifestyle. c. food. d. technology.b“dad，” i say one day, “lets take a trip. why dont you fly out and meet me？”my father had just retired after 27 years as a manager for ibm. his job filled his day, his thought, his life. while he woke up and took a warm shower, i screamed under a freezing waterfall in peru. while he tied a tie and put on the same swiss watch, i rowed a boat across lake of the ozarks.my father sees me drifting aimlessly, nothing to show for my 33 years but a passport full of funny stamps. he wants me to settle down, but now i want him to find an adventure.he agrees to travel with me through the national parks. we meet four weeks later in rapid city.“what is our first stop？” asks my father.“what time is it？”“still dont have a watch？”less than an hour away is mount rushmore. as he stares up at the four presidents carved in granite(花岗岩), his mouth and eyes open slowly, like those of a little boy.“unbelievable，” he says, “how was this done？”a film in the information center shows sculptor gutzon borglum devoted 14 years to the sculpture and then left the final touches to his son.we stare up and i ask myself, “would i ever devote my life to anything？”no directions, no goals. i always used to hear those words in my fathers voice. now i hear them in my own.the next day were at yellowstone national park, where we have a picnic.“did you ever travel with your dad？” i ask.“only once，” he says. “i never spoke much with my father. we loved each otherbut never said it. whatever he could give me, he gave.”the_last_sentenceits_probably_the_same_thing_id_say_about_my_father._and_what_id_want_my_child_to_say_about_me.in glacier national park, my father says, “ive never seen water so blue.” i have, in several places of the world. i can keep traveling, i realizeand maybe a regular job wont be as dull as i feared.weeks after our trip, i call my father. “the photos from the trip are wonderful，” he says. “we have got to take another trip like that sometime.”i tell him ive decided to settle down, and im wearing a watch.24. we can learn from paragraphs 2 and 3 that the father _a. followed the fashionb. got bored with his jobc. was unhappy with the authors lifestyled. liked the authors collection of stamps25. what does the author realize at mount rushmore?a. his father is interested in sculpture.b. his father is as innocent as a little boy.c. he should learn sculpture in the future.d. he should pursue a specific aim in life.26. what could be inferred about the author and his father from the end of the story?a. they begin to change their attitudes to life.b. the swiss watch has drawn them closer.c. they decide to learn photography together.d. the call solves their disagreements.27. from the underlined paragraph, we can see that the author_a. wants his children to learn from their grandfatherb. comes to understand what parental love meansc. learns how to communicate with his fatherd. hopes to give whatever he can to his fathercwould it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation?ubc professor simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined. although charles darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, simard shows just how wrong he was. in fact, the_opposite_is_true:_trees survive through their cooperation and support, passing around necessary nutrition “depending on who needs it”nitrogen (氮) and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi (真菌) networks, making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy. this hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons (神经元) in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it affects all. simard talks about “mother trees”， usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend. she explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow. when humans cut down “mother trees” with no awareness of these highly complex “tree societies” or the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest.“we didnt take any notice of it，” simard says sadly. “dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them chance.” if we could put across the message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.28. the underlined sentence “the opposite is true” in paragraph 3 probably means that trees _a. compete for survivalb. protect their own wealth c. depend on each otherd. provide support for dying trees 29. “mother trees” are extremely important because they_a. pass on nutrition to young treesb. seem more likely to be cut down by humans c. look the largest in size in the forestd. know more about the complex “tree societies” 30. the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to _. a. how young trees surviveb. how trees grow oldc. how forestry industry developsd. how “tree societies” work31. what would be the best title for the passage?a. old trees communicate like humansb. young trees are in need of protection c. trees are more awesome than you thinkd. trees contribute to our society 第二节双向翻译(共4小题；每题2分，满分8分)dear annie，i feel betrayed by my friend hannah. we have

we say and do is the result of a decision. _36_ however, there are some steps you can follow.list your options(选择)it may appear that there is only one course of action, but that is not necessarily true. no matter how limited your situation seems, try to make a list of options. brainstorm, and write down every idea that comes to your mind, as crazy as it may seem. you can always cross it off the list later, but crazy ideas can bring creative solutions. once you have your list, ask others for suggestions. _37_weigh the possible results. for every option, list every possible result, and label(标签) it as positive or negative. _38_ you can put a plus sign next to each positive result and a minus sign next to each negative one. give two pluses or minuses to the best and the worst._39_ this is the hardest step, but there will hopefully be a decision on your list that is supported by both logic and intuition(直觉). if you still cant decide, ask for advice from people you trust. if need be, let them be the tiebreakersits better than flipping(掷) a coin. once you have made a decision, carry it out wholeheartedly. at this stage, dont let yourself be confused by thinking about all the choices you didnt pick.in the end, remember to evaluate (评估)your decision afterward._40_ by drawing wisdom from every decision you make, you can ensure that every choice has at least one positive result.a. make a choice.b. think about who is affected.c. there is a simple way to do this.d. you should hope for the best and prepare for the worst.e. there are no easy formulas (公式)for making the
