lecturing people on everything from “100 places to visit” to “100 books to read”. arent you just tired of being told what to do with your time? now you have a list to end all lists!take a look at the following two examples from the list of “101 things not to do”： swim with dolphins(海豚)? swimming with dolphins is one of the worlds most profitable tourist activities. however, not every dolphin will welcome having their busy, tiring day interrupted by tourists screaming and pushing around them in the water. worse yet, when dolphins get too near to the boats loaded with tourists, they could get caught up in ropes and killed by propellers(螺旋桨)heres a little secret. dolphins look like smiling at you, but actually theyre just opening their mouths. go to see the mona lisa?there must be something about the mysterious(神秘的) smile. the 6 million people who visit the lady in the louvre every year cant all be wrong, after all. but they can be quite annoying, standing in front of you; holding up their cameras to prevent you from seeing anything. in fact, it is hard for you to see the painting clearly because you have to stay away from it for security reasons. after queuing for hours, many tourists can remain in front of the painting only for 15 seconds at most.if the mysterious lady in the picture knew her fate, she wouldnt just be smiling, shed be laughing.so, still long to see the mona lisa? if you want to find out more about the list, read 101 things not to do before you die. visit www.not2dobeforeidie.co.uk and buy the book at a 20% discount.1. according to the passage, swimming with dolphins _.a. is the worlds most popular tourist activityb. gives fun to both tourists and dolphinsc. will make tourists busy and tiredd. can cause danger to dolphins 57. what does the author think about going to see mona lisa? a. it is wrong to go and see the mysterious smile. b. it is not as satisfying as expected.c. fifteen seconds in front of the painting is enough. d. queuing for hours is worthwhile. 58. the list of “101 things not to do” is made most probably because its author _.a. thinks it boring to do the things suggested by other listsb. believes other lists are not humorous enough c. intends to persuade people to read more listsdwants to provide a list different from other lists 59. what is the main purpose of the passage? a. to advertise a book. b. to introduce a website. c. to comment on popular lists. d. to recommend tourist activities. 【2012浙江卷】beaster (复活节) is still a great day for worship, candy in baskets and running around the yard finding eggs, but every year it gets quite a bit worse for bunnies.and no, not because the kids like to pull their ears. the culprit is climate change, and some researchers found that rising temperatures are having harmful effects on at least five species of rabbit in the us.take the lower keys marsh rabbit, for instance. an endangered species that lives in the lower florida keys, this species of cottontail is a great swimmerit lives on the islands!but it is already severely affected by development and now by rising sea levels. according to the center for biological diversity, an ocean level rise of only 0.6 meters will send these ys jumping to higher ground and a 0.9-meter rise would wipe out their habitat (栖息地) completely.the snowshoe hare, on the other hand, has a color issue. most of these rabbits change their fur color from white in the wintertime to brown in the summer, each designed to give them better cover from predators (捕食者). as the number of days with snow decreases all across the country, however, more and more bunnies are being left in white fur during brown dirt days of both fall and spring, making them an easier mark for predators. researchers know that the color change is controlled by the number of hours of sunlight, but whether the rabbit will be able to adapt quick enough to survive is a big question. the national wildlife federation has reported that hunters have noticed their numbers are already markedly down.american pikas or rock rabbits, a relative of rabbits and hares, might be the first of these species to go extinct due to climate change. about 7-8 inches long, pikas live high in the cool. damp mountains west of the rocky mountains. as global temperatures rise, they would naturally migrate (迁移) to higher ground - but they already occupy the mountaintops. they cant go any higher. the national wildlife federation reports that they might not be able to stand the new temperatures as their habitat heats up.the volcano rabbit has the same problem. these rabbits live on the slopes of volcanoes in mexico, and recent studies have shown that the lower range of their habitat has already shifted upward about 700 meters, but there are not suitable plants for them to move higher, so they are stuck in the middle. scientists are concerned about their populations.native to the us, pygmy rabbits weigh less than 1 pound and live in the american west. they are believed to be the smallest rabbits in the world. their habitats have been destroyed by development. several populations, such as the columbia basin pygmy, almost went extinct and were saved by zoo breeding programs. pygmy rabbits also rely on winter cover by digging tunnels through the snow to escape predators, but lesser snowfall is leaving them exposed.all of this gives new meaning to dressing up in a giant bunny costume this easter. 60. the writer mentions easter at the beginning of the passage in order to _.a. show the importance of easter dayb. introduce the issue about bunniesc. remind people of easter traditionsd. discuss the relationship between easter and bunnies 61. according to the passage, some rabbits can now be easily discovered by predators because they _.a. are exposed to more skillful huntersb. have moved to habitats with fewer plantsc. havent adapted themselves to climate changed. cant change their fur color into white in the fall and the spring62. the problem faced by volcano rabbits and rock rabbits is that _.a. both are affected by less snow b. both are affected by rising sea levelsc. neither can find enough food d. neither can migrate to higher places 【2012山东卷】cfor those who are tired doing the laundry, samsung has found an answer: a washing machine that can tell you when your laundry is done via a smartphone app(application). strange though it may seem “my wife already does that” was a common response among attendees viewing the device when it was introduced at the consumer electronics show (ces) this week samsung is just one of many appliance makers racing to install (安装) a large number of internet-connected features in machines in an effort to make them “smart”.last year, it was a refrigerator that tweeted. this year, its wi-fi-enabled laundry machines and fridges that can tell you when your groceries are going bad. the washers and dryers, available starting in the spring, connect to any smartphone through a downloadable application. the phone can then be used as a remote control, so the machines can be turned on and off while their owners is at work or on the bus. samsung says its not just something new the app connection actually has some practical uses. “if you started to dry clothes in the morning and forgot to take them out, you can go to your phone and restart your dryer for the time when come home, so your clothes are refreshed and ready to go,” said spokesperson amy schmidt. the company also says that with electricity rate(电价)varying depending on the time of day, more control over when the machines are used can help save money. perhaps, but what they will probably really accomplish is what all good technologies do enable laziness. rather than getting up to check on whether the laundry is done, users will instead monitor it on their phones while watching tv. 63. what can be inferred from the common response of the attendees at the ces?a. the machine will be a big success.b. their wives like doing the laundry.c. the machine is unrelated to their life.d. this kind of technology is familiar to them. 64. what can we learn about the new laundry machines?a. they can tell you when your clothes need washing.b. they can be controlled with a smartphone. c. they are difficult to operate.d. they are sold at a low price.65. we can conclude form samsungs statements that _. a. the app connection makes life easier b. it is better to dry clothes in the morningc. smartphone can shorten the drying time d. we should refresh clothes back at home66. what is the main idea of the last paragraph?a. the laundry should be frequently checked. b. lazy people like using such machines.c. good technologies also cause problems. d. television may help do the laundry. 【2012全国ii】dfacial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships. for example, in american culture (文化) the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. yet it also has other uses. a womans smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. a smile may show love or politeness. it can also hide true feelings. it often causes confusion (困惑) across cultures. for example, many people in russia smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. yet many americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities). some russians believe that americans smile in the wrong places; some americans believe that russians dont smile enough. in southeast asian culture, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.our faces show emotions (情感), but we should not attempt to “read” people from another culture as we would “read” someone from our own culture. the fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions. rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressions permitted. for example, in public and in formal situations many japanese do not show their emotions as freely as americans do. when with friends, japanese and americans seem to show their emotions similarly.it is difficult to generalize about americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the united states. people from certain cultural backgrounds in the united states seem to be more facially expressive than others. the key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. if we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of “reading” the other person incorrectly.67. what does the smile usually mean in the us?a. love.b. politeness.c. joy.d. thankfulness.68. the author mentions the smile of the vietnamese to prove that smile can _ .a. show friendliness to strangersb. be used to hide true feelingsc. be used in the wrong placesd. show personal habits69. what should we do before attempting to “read” people?a. learn about their relations with others.b. understand their cultural backgrounds.c. find out about their past experience.d. figure out what they will do next.70. what would be the best title for the test?a. cultural differencesb. smiles and relationshipc. facial expressivenessd. habits and emotions第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) （基础题）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。time for a brainstorma brainstorm is a session where a small group of people come together to solve a problem. people
