Have a journey with us, as we take a look at some of the strangest lakes worldwide.Dead SeaLocated in Israel, its too salty for any animal life to live there. Although its difficult to swim, floating is not a problem. An unusual feature of this lake is that, it produces lots of asphalt(沥青)Taal LakeIts a freshwater lake located in the Philippines. The strange thing about it is that, its a haven for an island called Volcano Island, located in the middle of the lake, and the island also features a smaller lake called Great Yellow Lake, which holds a smaller island called Vulcan Point.Lake BalkhashIts the 12th largest lake in the world, and located in Kazakhstan in Central Asia. The strange thing about the lake is that half of the lake consists of freshwater, and the other half consists of saltwater.Resia LakeIts an artificial lake located in North Italy. All the villages have been flooded because of the outbreak of the river. The tower is the only thing that remains standing after the incident. Only when the lake is frozen (结冰的) in winter can people come to visit the tower located in the middle.Tonl Sap LakeIts a freshwater lake located in Cambodia. The unusual thing is that the flow of the water changes its direction twice a year. From November to May, it flows into the Mekong river, but during the rainy season, it backs up to form a huge lake, about five times its normal size.Boiling LakeIts located in Dominica. It is the second largest hot spring in the world, though you wouldnt dare to go for a swim, which actually is not allowed there. The temperature of the water ranges from 180F197F.【解题导语】本文介绍了世界上一些奇怪的湖泊。21The purpose of the passage is to _.Aintroduce some of the strangest lakes worldwideBgive some tips on travelling to some strange lakesCintroduce characters of some strange lakes in ChinaDinvite others to travel to some lakes with the author解析：选A写作目的题。根据第一段中的“Have a journey with us, as we take a look at some of the strangest lakes worldwide.”可知，这篇文章的写作目的是介绍一些世界上最奇怪的湖泊。故选A项。22Which lake is made up of freshwater and saltwater together?ATaal Lake.BLake Balkhash.CBoiling Lake.DDead Sea.解析：选B细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The strange thing about the lake is that half of the lake consists of freshwater, and the other half consists of saltwater.”可知，Lake Balkhash是由一半的淡水和一半的盐水组成的。故选B项。23When can people come to visit the tower in Resia Lake?AIn spring.BIn summer.CIn autumn.DIn winter.解析：选D细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Only when the lake is frozen (结冰的) in winter can people come to visit the tower located in the middle.”可知，仅仅在冬天结冰时，人们才能参观那座塔。故选D项。BThe owner of an Indian food shop in Bristol was astounded to receive an apology letter and money in compensation(补偿) from a thief who stole from his shop seven years ago.The shop owner, Imran Ahmed, 27, said he never expected that the thief would get in touch after so long.He said he remembered returning to the shop to find his windows broken and goods stolen.He didnt know whether the police had ever caught anyone in connection with the crime(犯罪活动) because they hadnt remembered to contact(联系) him. He supposed that the case had been closed long ago, so he just tried to forget it and went on doing business as usual.Seemingly, the criminal had not been planning to rob(盗窃) the shop that night in 2008the letter says, “About seven years ago I was walking past your shop late one night when I noticed that someone had broken into it.” With the shop front wide open, there was nothing to prevent the thief from stepping inside and taking anything he wanted. There were some cigarettes lying there and the thief grabbed them and ran.Now, it seems the mystery thief regrets stealing from the shop and has stopped carrying out such crimes. At the time of the robbery, “My life was in a mess，” the ashamed thief explained in the letter, but now “Im trying to lead an honest life.”The shop owner, Mr. Ahmed, was moved by the letter. In fact, he was so touched and pleased by the thiefs change of heart that he is planning to give the money to charity. He said, “I would love to find out who he was but I dont think he will contact us. Its amazing this has happened and to have something like this happen is really good.” He has put it away and it is well kept in a box.Avon and Somerset Police spokesman Steve Game said, “The police are very pleased to hear that a victim(受害人) has received some compensation for a crime. The letter shows that criminals can change their lives for the better.”【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。小偷在偷窃行为发生七年后终于忍不住内心的煎熬，给受害者寄去道歉信和赔偿金。24What does the underlined word “astounded” in Paragraph 1 mean?AProud.BRegretful.CSurprised.DRelaxed.解析：选C词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“he never expected that the thief would get in touch after so long”可知，店主从没想过小偷会去主动联系他，因此收到小偷的忏悔信使他感到十分意外。25After the unhappy event, Mr.Ahmed _.Aoffered people money to help catch the thiefBdidnt know the results of the caseCcouldnt let it go for a long timeDwanted to close his shop解析：选B细节理解题。根据第二段中的“He didnt know whether the police had ever caught anyone in connection with the crime(犯罪活动) because they hadnt remembered to contact (联系) him.”可知，Ahmed并不知道案件调查的最终结果。26Why did the thief make an apology for his behavior?AHe wanted to put his past mistake right.BHe experienced a similar robbery.CHis stealing brought shame on his family.DHis joining charity changed him.解析：选A推理判断题。根据第四段中的“the mystery thief regrets stealing from the shop”以及小偷说的“My life was in a mess”和“Im trying to lead an honest life.”可知，小偷为自己七年前的盗窃行为向受害人道歉是因为他想纠正自己曾经犯下的错误。27How did Mr.Ahmed react after reading the letter?AHe handed it over to the police.BHe would meet the thief in person.CHe felt happy for the thiefs becoming good.DHe wondered how the thief was over the years.解析：选C推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“he was so touched and pleased by the thiefs change of heart”可知，Ahmed读完信后，为小偷的改邪归正感到由衷的高兴。CIf you visit the new Mummies (木乃伊) show at the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH), in New York City, dont miss the Gilded Lady. Scientists say she probably died of lung (肺) disease when she was in her 40sabout 2,000 years agoin Egypt. They even have a model of her skull. Based on that, an artist was sure how she may have looked when she was alive. And yet, the mummys coffin (棺材) has never been opened. Instead, scientists used a machine called a CT scanner (扫描仪) to look inside.CT scanners were developed to help doctors examine patients. But the machines turned out to be perfect for studying mummies, too.“A hundred years ago, scientists would usually open mummies coffins. This did a great deal of harm to those mummies，” says AMNH president Ellen V. Futter. “We just dont do that anymore. We can do so much better. By using CT scanners, scientists can know about an ancient persons diet from some of a mummys hair. Pieces of bone can show who was related to whom.”Some mummies in Peru were buried with a skull hanging from their neck. Scientists thought these mummies wore the skull of an enemy. But DNA evidence showed that the mummies were buried with the skull of an ancestor.The 19 mummies in the show are from Egypt and Peru. They had completely different reasons for mummifying the dead. The ancient Egyptians believed that mummification allowed an ancestor to live on in the next world. The people who prepared the Gilded Lady thought she would continue to see, hear, and smell. In ancient Peru, people practiced mummification to stay connected with their ancestors. Some families kept mummies in their home.Futter calls the mummies in the show “messengers from another time”. With the help of technology, scientists will continue to uncover mummies secrets so we can understand it.【解题导语】本文为一篇说明文。随着科学技术的进步，科学家们正一步步地揭开木乃伊的神秘面纱。28What did scientists find about the Gilded Lady?AShe was a great artist.BShe died a natural death.CShe lived in ancient Egypt.DShe had an amazingly long life.解析：选C细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Scientists say she probably died of lung (肺) disease when she was in her 40sabout 2,000 years agoin Egypt.”可知，科学家们认为Gilded Lady生活在2 000多年前的古埃及。29What do Futters words suggest?APieces of bone show a persons diet.BCT scanners do great harm to mummies.CMummies usually wore the skull of an enemy.DTechnology plays an important role in mummy studies.解析：选D推理判断题。根据第三段中的“A hundred years ago, scientists would usually open mummies coffins.”及“By using CT scanners . who was related to whom.”可知，随着科技的进步，科学家们改变了以往的研究手段，并获得了更多重要的发现，由此可知Futter的话说明科技对木乃伊的研究起着重要的作用。30Why did the ancient Peruvians make mummies?ATo do traditional medical research.BTo keep close ties with their relatives.CTo help their families live a better life.DTo let their ancestors live in another world.解析：选B细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“In ancient Peru, people practiced mummification to stay connected with their ancestors.”可知，秘鲁人制作木乃伊是为了与他们的祖先紧密相连在一起。31What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?AThe technology.BTheir message.CTheir family.DThe show.解析：选B代词指代题。根据最后一段中的“Futter calls the mummies in the show messengers from another time.”可知，由于木乃伊被当成历史信息的传递者，所以科学家们希望继续发掘木乃伊的秘密以理解他们所传递的信息，故这里it指代“信息”的意思。DWhile a lot of us may jump to conclusions about our jobs and careers and perhaps feel a bit defeated if our present role isnt exactly a dream performance, dont worry. Theres reason to have hope. A new study supports the view that jobs arent simply a loveatfirstsight deal. Rather, they say that achieving passion (激情) for your work is something you can develop over time.Unlike the main way of thinking that youll only achieve passion for your work through finding the right fit with a line of workwhat the researchers call “fit theory”， the researchers say you can learn to love your job and find meaning in it gradually (“develop theory”)Patricia Chen, a psychology researcher and her colleagues examined some students career attitudes and expectations in regard to fit theory and develop theory. “People can achieve similar levels of passion at work by accepting either the fit or develop theory，” Chen said. “The key difference lies in how these results are reached: fit theorists tend to selfselect into lines of work that fit them from the start, while develop theorists grow into that fit over time.” Fit theorists tend to value enjoyment at the cost of good pay, while develop theorists are willing to let enjoyment take a back seat to other goals, believing that theyll grow into the role and find enjoyment over time.Their findings may offer a little encouragement to people who arent loving their jobs right now.
