Over 10,000 athletes from 207 countries marched across Rio de Janeiros Maracana stadium, proud to represent their respective nations at the worlds most famous sporting event. The road to the Olympics, however, is not easy for any athlete. It has been particularly hard for Yusra Mardini, who is a member of the worlds first “Olympic Refugee (难民)Team.” The 19-year-old always dreamed of swimming for Syria at the Olympic Games. However, in August 2015, after losing her home in the conflict that has involved Syria since 2011, she and her sister decided to flee the country. The sisters along with a few other Syrian nationals made their way to Turkey via Lebanon. They then set sail on a small boat to their final destination Greece. Unluckily, thirty minutes after leaving Turkey, the motor on the ship which was meant to hold six passengers but was instead carrying twenty, failed. Yusra, her sister Sarah, and the only two other strong swimmers aboard the boat had no choice but to dive into the ocean and use their superior swimming skills to push the boat and its passengers all the way to Lesbos, Greece A journey that took three hours. While her dream of representing her country was ruined, Yusra did not give up her desire to compete in the Olympics. In March 2016, she was one of ten athletes selected and funded by the Olympic Committee to form the first-ever “Refugee Team.” International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach believes that Yusra and her teammates, who have also had to flee their countries, “Will show the world that despite the unimaginable tragedies they have faced, anyone can compete, anyone can contribute to society through their talent, skill, and strength of the human spirit.”4What do we know about Yusras fleeing journey to Greece?A. It was a failure B. It took three hours.C. It was very hard. D. It was very smooth.5What is the right order of the events related to Yusra?a. She became a member of the worlds first “Olympic Refugee Team”.b. She dreamed of swimming for Syria at the Olympic Games.c. She lost her home.d. She fled Syria to Greece with her sister Sarah and a few other Syrians A. b, a, c, d B.b, c, d, a C. a, d, c, b D. a, b, c, d 6Thomas Bachs attitude to Yusra is _.A. supportive B. tolerant C. disapproving D. resistant7What is the best title for the text?A. A Hard Road to the Olympic GamesB. Yusras Strong Will to Compete in the OlympicsC. Yusra Mardini Refugee Team SwimmerD. Athlete To Watch At The 2016 Rio Summer OlympicsC If you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to(料理), and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card(住宿登记卡) to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate(价钱). From then on, they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly(相应地).With so many loopholes(漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages”. But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”.In a society of such high moral practice, what need is there for people to be on guard against others?8.While taking a taxi in Finland, _.A. a passenger can never be refused by the taxi driver wherever he wants to goB. a passenger pays two US dollars for a taxi rideC. a passenger can go anywhere without having to pay the driverD. a passenger needs to provide good faith demonstration (证明) before leaving without paying9.We know from the passage that big hotels in Finland _.A. are mostly poorly managedB.provide meal for only those who live in the hotelsC. provide free wine and charge for foodD. provide meals for any diners10.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The workers in Finland are paid by the hour.B.The bosses in Finland are too busy to check the working hours of their employees.C. The workers and their bosses will make an agreement in advance about the pay.D. The workers are always honest with their working hours.11.The word “those” in the last but one paragraph probably refers to _.A. people who often take taxisB. people who often have meals in big hotelsC. people who are dishonestD. people who are worthy of trustD While your pet fish may appear to be ignorant of your presence, chances are that it knows you extremely well and can probably even identify you from a crowd of human faces! At least, that is the conclusion reached by scientists the University of Oxford in the U.K. and the University of Queensland in Australia, following an extensive study of the archerfish (喷水鱼), a species of tropical fish that can be found all the way from India to Indonesia, the Philippines, and Australia. The ability to distinguish between human faces is a complex task. Thats because we all have the same basic features two eyes sitting above a nose and a mouth. Its only the subtle differences that make humans distinct from one another. Since this requires a combination of both visual sense and memory, researchers had always assumed that it was a skill possessed only by those with complicated brains, i.e., humans, a few select animals such as horses, cows, dogs, monkeys and some birds, like pigeons. To test if this assumption was accurate, a team of scientists led by Dr. Cait Newport, Marie Curie Research Fellow in the Department of Zoology at Oxford University, decided to study fish. The aquatic (水生的) animals have small brains that lack the neocortex（大脑新皮层）, or neocortex-like structure, believed to help recognize the subtle differences between human facial features. The team began by presenting four archerfish with images of two human faces. Initially, the fish spat randomly at both. However, they soon learned that pouring water at the one selected by the researchers earned them a food treat. After that, they focused primarily on that image. The researchers then took the experiment one step further, by introducing 44 other human faces to the mix. To the researchers astonishment, the trained archerfish were able to recall the learned image almost 81% of the time. And this accuracy improved to 86% when the researchers made the identification even harder, by replacing the colored photos with a set of black and white images and hiding the shape of the head.12What is the conclusion of the study made by the scientists from the universities?A. Some fish may ignore your presence.B. Some fish have large brains.C. Some fish have complicated brains.D. Some fish can recognize your faces.13.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Your pet fish dont know who you are.B. The fishes ability to tell the differences between human faces is gained by training.C. In the experiment, the harder the task was made, the better the archerfish did.D. Only the animals raised by people can have the ability to identify human faces.14What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.The ability of memorizing complicated things. B. A combination of visual sense and memory.C. The ability to distinguish between human faces.D. The ability of telling beasts from birds.15In the experiment, the researchers trained the archerfish _.A. by taking photos of fish B. by improving peoples imagesC. by rewarding them with food D. by covering their heads第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）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。How to Study for a Test With exams approaching, how can you study for a test?
