If you think so, Copenhagen is _41_ to change your mind. See the city first from the water. In the harbor sits Denmark s best-known _42_: the Little Mermaid. Remember her? She left the world of the Sea People in search of a human soul in one of Hans Christian Andersen s _43_ fantasies. Copenhagen is a city on a human scale. You don t have to hurry to walk the city s center_44_in less than an hour. Although _45_ it will take much longer, thats easy. Copenhagen was the first city to declare a street for pedestrians only. The city has less traffic noise and _46_ than any other European capital. Stroll away from the harbor along the riverbanks, you ll see the modest Amalienborg Palace first. Completed in the mid-18th century, it still houses the royal family. The Danish Royal Guard is on _47_. At noon, you ll watch the _48_ of the guard. The guards are not just for show, however. Danes will always remember their heroism on April 9, 1940. When the Nazis invaded Denmark, the guards aimed their guns and fired. Soldiers fell on both sides. The guards would all have been killed if the king hadn t ordered them to surrender. Churches and castles are almost all that remain of the _49_ city. Copenhagen became the capital of Denmark in 1445. During the late 16th century, trade grew, and so did the city. But fires in 1728 and 1795 destroyed the old wooden structures. Much of what we see today _50_ from the 19th and early 20th centuries完型填空The first time I saw Suzy Khan, I knew I had to help her. She was really small for her age of 12. The boy in my class often 51 about her and laughed their heads off. She would open a book, pretending to read, with tears dropping on the open page. All I knew was that she was an orphan (孤儿) from Africa. She had just been adopted by a family in town who 52 that the best way for her to learn American ways of life was to be with american kids. I looked down at this 53 girl and promised myself that somehow I would help her. But how could I help her 54 in with us? There had to be a way. One day, when I went into the classroom, I saw that Suzy had 55 her geography book to a picture of a train, and in her notebook, she had made a(n) 56 copy. I was surprised and thought that she could do something in the coming 57 show. So, I took her to see the art teacher, Miss Parker, and showed her what Suzy had 58 . “why, its wonderful,” said Miss Parker, who then showed us a poster she had painted for the talent show. “I need more of these, but I just dont have enough 59 . Could you help me, Suzy?” On the day of the talent show, Suzys 60 were everywhere - all over the hall and all over the school, each one different. “And finally,” said Mr Brown, the schoolmaster, at the end of the show, “we have a (n) _61_award. Im sure youve all noticed the wonderful posters.” Everyone nodded. “One of our own students painted them.” I could hear everyone whispering. “Who in our school could draw 62 well?” Mr. Brown waited a while before saying, “ 63 this student worked so hard on the posters, she deserves a prize ,too. Our mystery(神秘) artist is our new student - Suzy Khan!” Mr. Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artists set. “Thank you,” she cried. I 64 , at that time when I was looking at her excited face, shed probably never owned anything in her whole life. Everyone started to 65 their hands.

It was in the 1930s, when he was an editor if the literary magazine of Southern Methodist University（SMU）in Dallas, Texas. He also worked as a professor at SMU, and there was a girl student in his class who suffered from a serious back disease. She couldn;t afford the operation because her family was poor. Her mother ran a boardinghouse in Galveston, a seaside town near Houston, Texas. She was cleaning out the attic（阁楼）one day when she came across an old dusty manuscript（手稿）. On its top page were the words, “By O. Henry”. It was a nice story, and she sent it to her daughter at SMU, who showed it to my father. My father had never read the story before, but it sounded like O. Henry, and he knew that O. Henry had once lived in Houston. So it was possible that the famous author had gone to the beach and stayed in the Gainestown boardinghouse, and had written the story there and left the manuscript behind by accident. My father visited an O. Henry expert at Columbia University in New York, who authenticated the story as O. Henrys. My father then set out to sell it. Eventfully, he foud himself in Des Moines, meeting with Gardner Cowles, a top editor at the Des Moines Register. Cowles loves the story and bought it on the spot. My father took the money to the girl. It was just enough for her to have the operation she so desperately needed. My father never told me what the O. Henry story was about. But i doubt that it could have been better than his own story.66. Who found the O. Henrys manuscript?A. The girls mother. B. The authors father.C. The girl. D. The author.67. Which of the following might explain the fact that the manuscript was found in the attic?A. O. Henry once worked in Houston. B. O. Henry once stayed in Galveston.C. O. Henry once moved to Des Moines. D. O. Henry once taught at SMU.68. The underlined word “authenticated” in Paragraph 2 probably means _.A. named B. treated C. proved D. described69. According to the text, why did the authors father go to Des Moines?A. To sell the O. Henry story. B. To meet the author himself.C. To talk with the O. Henry expert. D. To give money to the girl.(B)Working with a group of baboons (狒狒) in the Namibian desert, Dr. Alecia Carter of the Department of Zoology, Cambridge University set baboons learning tasks involving a novel food and a familiar food hidden in a box. Some baboons were given the chance to watch another baboon who already knew how to solve the task, while others had to learn for themselves. To work out how brave or anxious the baboons were, Dr. Carter presented them either with a novel food or a threat in the form of a model of a poisonous snake.She found that personality had a major impact on learning. The braver baboons learnt, but the shy ones did not learn the task although they watched the baboon perform the task of finding the novel food just as long as the brave ones did. In effect, despite being made aware of what to do, they were still too shy to do what the experienced baboon did.The same held true for anxious baboons compared with calm ones. The anxious individuals learnt the task by observing others while those who were relaxed did not, even though they spent more time watching.This mismatch between collecting social information and using it shows that personality plays a key role in social learning in animals, something that has previously been ignored in studies on how animals learn to do things. The findings are significant because they suggest that animals may perform poorly in cognitive (认知的) tasks not because they arent clever enough to solve them, but because they are too shy or nervous to use the social information. The findings may impact how we understand the formation of culture in societies through social learning. If some individuals are unable to get information from others because they dont associate with the knowledgeable individuals, or they are too shy to use the information once they have it, information may not travel between all group members, preventing the formation of a culture based on social learning. 70. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. The design of Dr. Carters research.B. The results of Dr. Carters research.C. The purpose of Dr. Carters research.D. The significance of Dr. Carters research.71. According to the research, which baboons are more likely to complete a new learning task?A. Those that have more experience.B. Those that can avoid potential risks.C. Those that like to work independently.D. Those that feel anxious about learning.72. Which best illustrates the “mismatch” mentioned in Paragraph 4?A. Some baboons are intelligent but slow in learning.B. Some baboons are shy but active in social activities.C. Some baboons observe others but dont follow them.D. Some baboons perform new tasks but dont concentrate.73. Dr. Carters findings indicate that our culture might be formed through _.A. storing information B. learning from each other C. understanding different people D. travelling between social groups What is the first thing you nitice when you walk into a shop? The products displayed (展示) at the entrance? Or the soft background music?But have you ever notice the smell? Unless it is bad, the answer is likely to be no. But while a shops scent may not be outstanding compared with sightsand sounds, it is certainly there. And it is providing to be an increasing powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase.A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance, via scent machines. A smell may be attractive but it may not just be used for freshening air. One sports goods company once reported that when it first introduced scent into its stores, customers intension to purchase increased by 80 percent.When it comes to the best shopping streets in Pairs, scent is just as important to a brands success as the quality of its window displays and goods on slaes. That is mainly because shopping is a very different experience to what it used to be.Some years ago,the focus for brand name shopping was on a few people with sales assistants disproving attitude and dont-touch-what-you-cant-afford displays. Now the rise of electronic commerce (e-commerce) has opened up famous brands to a wider audience. But while e-shops can use sights and sounds, only bricks-and-mortar stores (实体店) can offer a full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave. Another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop, but rather a destination. And scent is just one way to achieve this.Now a famous store uses complex man-made smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department, and coconut (椰子) scent in the swimsuit section. A department store has even opened a new lab, inviting customers on a journey into the stores windows to smell books, pots and drawers, in search of their perfect scent.74. According to the passage, what is an increasingly powerful tool in the success of some brand store?A. Friendly assistant.B. Unique scents.C. Soft background musicD. attractive window display.75. E-shops are mentioned in the passage to _ .A. ashow the advantages of brick-and-mortar storesB. urge shop assistants to change their attitudeC. push stores to use sights and soundsD. introduce the rise of e-commerce76. The underlined word “destination” in Paragraph 5 means _ .A. a platform that exhibts goodsB. a spot where travelers like to stayC.a place where customers love to goD. a target that a store expects to meet77. The main purpose of the passage is to _ .A. compare and evaluateB. examine and assessC. argue and discussD.inform and explain阅读回答问题 Like most wildlife, deer reproduce, grow, and store fat in the summer and fall when there is plenty of nutritious food available.
