afternoon. i had a smile on my face as i sang along to the songs on the radio. it was a beautiful day that i felt full of happiness. my good mood ended, however, when the radio station took a news break between songs. then suddenly i found myself listening to yet another story of a rich famous man who had broken the law. i shook my head as i came to a red traffic light. as i pulled to a stop i noticed four leather-jacketed bikers. they were standing in the middle of the road with two on either side of the light. they looked rough and dangerous, but as i got closer i noticed each one was holding their helmet in their hands. i rolled down my window as one approached my car. “we are the brothers of the wheel”, he said. “we are collecting money for a christmas toy drive for needy children.” as i pulled a dollar out of my wallet i looked past his beard and tattoos(纹身) and into his eyes. they shined with a goodness and kindness that came right from his soul. i dropped the money in his helmet and waved to the other bikers as i drove off. my good mood had returned. my faith in mankind had been bolstered. and i had to remember again never to judge people by their appearance.our society often judges books by their covers but god reads what is written in our hearts and souls. perhaps one day we will all learn to see the world through the same eyes. perhaps one day we will realize that looks matter little and actions matter much. 1. the writers good mood ended when _.a. he heard news between songs b. he had to stop at a red traffic lightc. he heard a rich man broke the law d. he saw four leather-jacketed kids in need2. what are four bikers doing at the traffic light?a. having a bicycle race in the street b. selling helmets to the passers-by.c. raising money to help kids in need d. preparing for christmas holidays.3. what does “bolstered” in the second paragraph probably mean?a. destroyed. b. improved. c. decreased. d. exploded.4. the writer to tell us that we

reburied and lost to science under a law that threatens research into the history of humans in britain, a group of leading archaeologists(考古学家) says. i a letter addressed to the justice secretary, ken clarke, 40 archaeologists write of their “deep and widespread concern” about the issue. it centers on the law introduced by the ministry of justice in 2008 which requires all human remains unearthed in england and wales to be reburied within two years, regardless of their age. the decision means scientists have too little time to study bones and other human remains of national and cultural significance.“your current requirement that all archaeologically unearthed human remains should be reburied, whether after a standard period of two years or further special extension, is contrary to basic principles of archaeological and scientific research and of museum practice,” they write. the law applies to any pieces of bone uncovered at around 400 dig sites, including the remains of 60 or so bodies found at stonehenge in 2008 that date back to 3,000 bc. archaeologists have been granted a temporary extension to give them more time, but eventually the bones will have to be returned to the ground.the arrangements may result in the waste of future discoveries at sites such as happisburgh in norfolk, where digging is continuing after the discovery of stone tools made by early humans 950,000 years ago. if human remains were found at happisburgh, they would be the oldest in northern europe and the first indication of what this species was. under the current practice of the law those remains would have to be reburied and effectively destroyed.before 2008, guidelines allowed for the proper preservation and study of bones of sufficient age and historical interest, while the burial act 1857 applied to more recent remains. the ministry of justice assured archaeologists two years ago that the law was temporary, but has so far failed to revise it.mike parker pearson, an archaeologist at sheffield university, said: “archaeologists have been extremely patient because we wee led to believe the ministry was sorting out this problem, but we feel that we cannot wait any longer.”the ministry has no guidelines on where or how remains should be reburied, or on what records should be kept.1. according to the passage, scientists are unhappy with the law mainly because _.a. it is only a temporary measure on the human remainsb. it is unreasonable and thus destructive to scientific researchc. it was introduced by the government without their knowledged. it is vague about where and how to rebury human remains2. which of the following statements is true according to the passage?a. temporary extension of two years will guarantee scientists enough time.b. human remains of the oldest species wee dug out at happisburgh.c. human remains will have to be reburied despite the extension of time.d. scientists have been warned that the law can hardly be changed.3. what can be inferred about the british law governing human remains?a. the ministry of justice did not intend it to protect human remains.b. the burial act 1857 only applied to remains uncovered before 1857.c. the law on human remains hasnt changed in recent decades.d. the ministry of justice has not done enough about the law.4. which of the following might be the best title of the passage?a. new discoveries should be reburied, the government demands.b. research time should be extended, scientists require.c. law on human remains needs thorough discussion, authorities say.d. law could bury ancient secrets for ever, archaeologists warn.【参考答案】14、【2016模拟题】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出最佳选项。 scientists recently found three animal species living two miles below the surface of the mediterranean sea, where the super-salty waters dont have oxygen(氧). theyre multicellular(多细胞的), which means their bodies have many cells. they each are as small as a large grain of sand. but they are animals.the most exciting thing about these creatures, say the scientists, is that they obviously dont need oxygen to live. what biologists know about life so far is that only single-celled living things can live in places that have no oxygen, and that multicellular organisms(有机物) can visit these places, but not live there. these newly found creatures could change that idea.finding animals down there was so surprising that the scientists couldnt believe it. at first, “we thought they were dead bodies,” roberto danovaro, a scientist at the polytechnic university of marche in ancona, italy, told science news. to find out whether the animals could actually live there danovaro and his colleagues brought up more samples(样本) from the ocean floor. studying the animals in the new samples showed that they appeared to be alive.the researchers did more tests, and found that some of the animals had eggswhich suggests they were reproducing(繁殖). also in the samples were old skins, suggesting that the animals had lived there long enough to grow. finally, pictures taken showed that the insides of the animals appear to be adapted to live in an environment that has no oxygen.these clues suggest the animals dont need oxygen, but the evidence(证据) is indirect, which means that scientists still have not observed how the animals live without oxygen. this means more studies are needed, but the scientists think theyre on the right track. and if theyre right, biologists will need to rethink what they know about where animals live.1、 what excited the scientists most is that_.a.they found three animal species visit the salty water under the mediterranean seab.single-celled animals can live in super-salty watersc.the tiny animals have many cellsd.three kinds of animals can live in places tha
