The French are the best. Its the Germans who dont have a good habit of standing in line. They cant stand to wait for anything. They begin to shout loudly and noisily if the line doesnt seem to be moving fast enough. Sadly it never moves fast enough for them. The experts studied 940 people across Europe. They watched secretly as they waited in line to get tickets, to order fast food and to wait for the bus. They found people who are good at forming (排成) queues feel that they move along faster. For example, in Britain, the average waiting at a queue needs about three and a half minutes. In Germany or Sweden people hate waiting in line. In fact, people spend double the time as the British in queues. They get to the front of the queue without thinking about others, so they waste others time. The expert who did the research had asked a person to break into a queue to see what people would do. In Britain, people shouted loudly at him, but when he said, I m terribly sorry. I didnt realize there was a queue. Do go before me. People smiled and said. Oh, thats all right, one more wont matter much. It was also found in France, where 80 of the people didnt mind standing in line only if they were treated politely. While in Germany everyone was angry and wore an unhappy face. The expert said, If only they could learn from the British and the French to think of queuing as an exercise in making the best of an unhappy thing, they might find that the queue then moves faster.31.

They are smart and adventurous. But a real spys life is not that exciting. They must live a life of lies. Their work is dangerous and they may have to pay for it with their lives. American spy Nathan Hale (1755-1776) was one of these people.Why does someone want to be a spy? Some do it for their country. Some for money. Some just love it. Nathan Hale became a spy for the first reason. He lived during the American Revolution (革命). He and his people fought the British army.In 1774, Hale joined the American army. Before that, he was a schoolteacher. Two years later, he chose to be a spy. He had to get information from the British army. He went to the city where the British army was staying. He told them that he was a schoolteacher and wanted to find a new job. He tried to get information for the American army. Hale finally got something important and decided to go back. He hid some papers in his boots. He went to the riverbank and waited for a boat to pick him up. However, British soldiers caught Hale at the riverbank and found the papers in his boots. It turned out that as a young spy, Hale didnt have enough experience. He had told his secret to somebody else. But that person sold him out to the British army. Hale died on Sept 22, 1776. His final words were: “I only regret I have but one life to lose for my country.” He died at the age of 21.36. Why did Nathan Hale become a spy? A. For fun. B. For money. C. For himself. D.

A change in the school timetable (课程表) may be the cure.This suggestion is based on a recent study carried out by scientists from Royal Holloway, University of London, the UK. They found that teenagers could get higher marks in math if they studied in the mornings and better grades in history if they were taught in the afternoons.The researchers studied students grade reports, class timetables and absence rates(缺席率) at a middle school in Bulgaria over nine years. The results showed that when teenagers had math classes earlier in the day, they scored about 7 percent higher in tests than when taught in the afternoon. Lower-ability students feel stressed most when they were studying math in the afternoon. In history, students taught in the afternoon scored about 6 percent higher than when they were taught in the morning. However, there was no sign that similar patterns(模式) work for other subjects such as languages or geography.Velichka Dimitrova, who did the study, said the findings show that we perform(表现) better at different times of the day. “In the morning, our brains are better and fresher, so we are better at doing something like problem solving, where we require more speed and attention” Dimitrova told The Telegraph. “In the afternoon, it seems that this process slows down. On the other hand, history is more suitable for the afternoon, when we are more creative and open to discussion,” she said. Subjects such as foreign languages require both memory and creativity. This is perhaps why the time of day had no influence on language learning.Time-of-day influences such as these are believed to have something to do with the body clock. This is the system in our bodies that controls when we need to sleep. Some schools in the US and UK have tried later school starting times for teenagers, whose body clocks change as they grow into adults. Dimitrova believes schools should jump at this chance to improve their students performance just by changing their timetables.41. In which classes do you learn equations (Paragraph 1) according to the passage? A. Maths B. GeographyC. English D. History42. According to the new study, _. A. afternoon classes lowered students performance in history B. school timetables have an influence on every subject C. it was better for students to learn math in the morning D. lower-ability students preferred to start school earlier43. Whats the main idea of Paragraph 4? A. It shows the importance of studying different subjects at different times of the day B. It introduces the best time to do things that require memory and creativity C. It encourages students to change their study methods for better results D. It explains how school timetables affect peoples study performance44. According to Dimitrova, _. A. rearranging(重新安排) school timetables is the best way to improve students test scores B. schools should follow advice from the study and actively change their timetables C. most schools dont have enough resources to support timetable changes D. schools should think twice before changing their class timetables45. What is the best title of this passage? A. Time to change the timetable.B. A survey carried out successfully C. Secrets of learning math and history wellD. Body clocks influence grades第部分 非选择题（共60分）B任务型阅读（共10小题，每小题1分 计10分） 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填写表格。(每空限填一词) Weve probably all met someone who likes to show off about where he or she has been. To some people, traveling is all about how many places one has been to. But luckily, the old “been there, seen that” mode is changing.Last years travel trend (趋势) was “experiential travel”. This is where tourists look for ways to get to know local culture and meet local people so they feel less like an outsider.So what about this year? Can creative tourists get even more out of their traveling experience?Transformative travelTransformative (起改变作用的) travel is much like “experiential travel”, but takes it a step further.It usually goes through three steps you go to a place that has a very different background from where you live, you learn wisdom from the new culture and the people you meet, and finally you go back home and use the knowledge in your own lives. This last step is how the “transformation” is completed and what separates transformative travel from experiential travel.Go greenOne way to plan a green trip is to travel a shorter distance, which can reduce your carbon footprint (碳排放量). “One trans-Atlantic flight equals a years worth of driving, so taking a trip in this way can help protect the environment,” suggested Warren, according to US News.Another way to go green in your travel plans is to choose a place that will be helped most from your trip. For example, places like Nepal will enjoy an increase in its local economy (经济) through the trip.Disappearing sightsSome sights at risk of disappearing are also welcoming an increasing number of tourists.Everett Potter, a USA Today writer, says that the Arctic and Antarctic have attracted (吸引) more and more tourists since they are being greatly influenced by climate (气候) change.Another top sight is the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. Its believed that the reef will be seriously harmed in just a few years because of pollution and global warming. Travelers look forward to seeing the coral (珊瑚) “before its gone or completely changed”, Potter told US News.The changing 46 trendsBefore To some people, traveling means the 47 of places they have been to.Last yearExperiential travelTourists look for ways to better understand the local culture so they can be 48 like local people.This yearTransformative travel Going to a place 49 a different background. Learning wisdom from the new culture and people. 50 home and using the knowledge in your own lives .Go green One way is to travel 51 to your home. It can reduce your carbon footprint. Another way is to choose a place which will get the most 52 through the trip. 53 sights The Arctic and Antarctic have become more and more 54 because of climate change. Travelers 55 to see the coral before it is gone or completely changed.C.阅读表达(共5小题，每题2分 计10分) 阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容回答问题。（每题答案不超过9个单词）Tiangong II, Chinas space lab that was sent up in September last year, is quietly circling around Earth.
