8、elation with the number eleven. It seems like everything in this place was designed around this magical number, from the fact that there are precisely eleven churches, as well as eleven historical fountains, eleven museums and eleven towers, to the unusual clock in the town square that features an e

9、leven-hour dial and the number twelve missing.Although nearly everyone in Solothurn knows about the town's obsession with the number eleven, the origin of that is covered in mystery. The first mention of eleven in Solothurn's history dates back to 1252, when eleven members were first elected

10、 for the town's council. Another great example of Solothurn's obsession with the number eleven is the magnificent Cathedral of St. Ursus. Designed by Italian architect Gaetano Matteo Pisoni, it was built in eleven years. It features three sets of steps, each numbering eleven rows, eleven doo

12、 in the number eleven in their daily life. There are special celebrations held on eleventh birthdays, and there are local products and businesses that include the special number.

16、xpert at designing products.CFrench car maker CitroEn recently released a pair of glassless, liquid- flleld eyeglasses that can reportedly treat the symptoms of motion sickness.Called Seetroen, the eyeglasses use Boarding Ring technology, which was created by a French start-up of the same name, to t

17、reat motion sickness in just a few minutes. According to the oficial press release, after being worn for 10 to 12 minutes, the glasses enable the mind to resynchronise(重新同步) with the movement perceived by the inner ear while the eyes focus on an immobile object such as a smartphone or a book and the

18、 wearer can just take them off and enjoy the rest of the journey.Motion sickness occurs when our brain perceives conflicting reports about perceived motion from the eyes and the inner ear. It's usually not a problem when a person is looking out of the window because then both organs perceive mot

19、ion similarly, but when you're looking down at a phone or a book, the eyes don't perceive the motion the same way, and the reports sent to your brain contradict those from the inner ear, and the confusion results in motion sickness.So how do Setroen cure the annoying condition that has been

20、plaguing mankind for centuries? Well, the secret is literally in those plastic frames. That blue liquid in the rings around the eyes recreate the horizon line to resolve the conflict between the signals sent to the brain by the eyes and inner ear so that the movement detected by the eyes matches tha

21、t detected by the inner ear. Since Seetroen glasses are actually glassless, they can be worn by anyone, even over actual eyeglasses. You only need to wear them for 10 to 12 minutes to make the symptoms of motion sickness go away.8. What is Seetroen?A. A French car maker. B. A high-tech company.C. A

23、removing conflicting signals. D. By adjusting the angles of movements.11. What's the best title of the text?A. A creative cure for motion sickness.B. The amazing rise of a French start-up.C. A new understanding of motion sickness.D. The popularity of liquid-filled eyeglasses.D1 They're incon

24、siderate. They annoy you, And sometimes, they infect you. Wouldn't it be nice if we could ban passengers like that from the plane?2 If you've been wondering whether the airlines should expand their own no-fly lists, you're not alone. Joseph Flanagan, an engineer from Golden, Colorado, th

25、inks the kind of passenger he sat next to on a recent flight should be blacklisted. “We were barely 10 minutes into the flight when he pulled off his shoes and then put his damp feet on the chair in front of him," he recalls.3 Inconsiderate passengers come in all shapes and sizes. They're t

26、he ones who occupy the bathroom for half an hour. Theyre the ones who place their carry-ons above your seat and then walk 10 rows back. One of the most annoying passengers, of course, is the one who talks nonstop. As a result, you can't sleep, can't listen to music, or even can't get any

27、 work done. Wouldn't it be great if we could require passengers to make a promise of silence during the flight?4 Another category of passengers that can- and should一be banned are people who are ill. Sharon Lawrence, a mental health therapist from Largo, Maryland, says people who know they are si

28、ck should stay grounded. “I have had to sit next to individuals who are sick, coughing, barely covering their mouths," she says. “As a result of a few of these flights, 1 have become ill after flying.”5 However, expanding the airline blacklists is easier said than done. Federal Aviation Adminis

29、tration regulations permit airlines to remove passengers if the safety and health of other travelers are affected. “But such procedures do not allow for the removal of a passenger without proper legal justification," says David Reischer, CEO of Legal A, a legal advice website.12. What may Josep

30、h Flanagan think of the behavior of the passenger next to him?二A. It is against the law. B. It causes discomfort,C. It is none of his business. D. It affects the flight safety.13. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Requirements for in-flight behavior. B. Annoying experiences of the author.C. Exampl

31、es of thoughtless passengers. D. Possible measures against misbehavior.14. Why should sick people be added to no-fly lists according to Sharon Lawrence?A. They are likely to cough constantly. B. They can not attend to themselves.C. They may infect other passengers. D. They will miss timely treatment

32、.15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Stricter restrictions for air travel must be set at once.B. Misbehavior of some passengers should be tolerated.C. The government prohibits the removal of passengers.D. It may be illegal to blacklist misbehaving passengers. 翻译：他们不体谅人。它们会让你恼火，有时还会感染

33、你。如果我们能禁止这样的乘客上飞机不是很好吗？如果你一直想知道航空公司是否应该扩大他们自己的禁飞名单，你并不孤单。来自科罗拉多州戈尔登的工程师约瑟夫·弗拉纳根（Joseph Flanagan）认为，他最近乘坐的航班上坐在旁边的那种乘客应该被列入黑名单。他回忆说：“我们刚上飞机10分钟，他就脱下鞋子，然后把湿脚放在前面的椅子上。”。（第三段）不体贴的乘客有各种各样的形状和大小。他们在浴室里呆了半个小时。他们把行李放在你的座位上，然后向后走10排。当然，最让人讨厌的乘客之一是不停说话的人。因此，你不能睡觉，不能听音乐，甚至不能完成任何工作。如果我们能要求乘客在飞行过程中保证安静，那不是很

34、好吗？另一类可以而且应该被禁止的乘客是生病的人。来自马里兰拉戈的心理健康治疗师莎伦·劳伦斯说，知道自己生病的人应该呆在家里。她说：“我不得不坐在病人旁边，咳嗽，几乎不捂嘴。”。“由于这几次飞行，有一次飞行后病了。”然而，扩大航空公司黑名单说起来容易做起来难。联邦航空管理局的规定允许航空公司在其他旅客的安全和健康受到影响的情况下转移旅客。法律咨询网站legal A的首席执行官大卫赖舍尔（David Reischer）表示：“但此类程序不允许在没有正当法律理由的情况下将乘客带走。”。第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选

35、项.选项中有两项为多余选项。Much like the season itself, the fresh fruits of the summer often don't remain long as we want them to. All too often, you reach into the fridge and find that the strawberries youpurchased just a few days ago have turned moldy (发霉的). 16 G Vinegar has an extensive and ever -increasi

36、ng list of household uses. Because it is non-poisonous, unlike other washes, it can be used to clean fresh fruits. 17 E Putting the fruit in the mixture of one part vinegar and three parts water can remove 98 percent of bacteria. It will make the fruit much cleaner than it was when washed with an an

37、tibacterial wash or with water alone. D 18 By following the same process, you can prevent the growth of mold for far longer than if you haven't washed them with the mixture. But be careful: this trick doesn't kill any mold that has already grown. 19 A Besides, try to make the strawberries as

38、 dry as possible before storing them in the fridge. You can pat them dry with paper towel, and then pack them away in a clean container.20 C Actually, there is a simple solution to your concern. A thorough wash with plain water afterward will ensure there are no unwanted tastes left.A. So make sure

39、you do it before they go bad.B. Yet, many washes can keep them fresh longer.C. You may worry your berries will taste like vinegar.D. So you may not really need those pricey washes at all.E. It is even more effective in cleaning fruits than most washes.F. You'd better use vinegar to wash the berr

40、ies before enjoying them.G. A new trick, however, can greatly expand their shelf life using vinegar. 翻译：就像季节本身一样，夏天的新鲜水果往往不会像我们所希望的那样保存太久。你经常把手伸进冰箱，发现你的草莓几天前刚买的已经发霉了。G、 然而，一种新的方法可以大大延长醋的保质期。醋有一个广泛和不断增加的家庭使用清单。因为它无毒，不像其他洗涤液，它可以用来清洗新鲜水果。E、 它在清洗水果方面比大多数洗衣液更有效。把水果放在一份醋和三份水的混合物中可以去除98%的细菌。它会使水果比用抗菌清洗剂或单独

41、用水清洗时干净得多。D、 所以你可能根本不需要那些昂贵的衣服。通过遵循同样的过程，你可以防止霉菌生长的时间比你没有用混合物清洗它们的时间要长得多。但要小心：这个把戏不会杀死任何已经生长的霉菌。A、 所以在他们变坏之前一定要做好。另外，在把草莓放进冰箱之前，尽量让它们变干。你可以用纸巾把它们拍干，然后把它们放在一个干净的容器里。C、 你可能担心你的浆果尝起来像醋。事实上，有一个简单的方法可以解决你的问题。之后用清水彻底清洗，确保没有多余的味道。B、 然而，许多水洗可以使它们保持更长时间的新鲜。F、 你最好先用醋把浆果洗干净再享用。第二部分语言运用(共两节 ,满分30分)第一节(共15小题;每小题

I

54、 assumed I was being sent to pick up some party-goers,or someone who had just had a fight with a lover,or a worker heading to an early shift at some factory for the industrial part of town.When I arrived at 2：30 a. m. , the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window. Under

55、such circumstances, many drivers just honk（按喇叭） once or twice,wait a minute,then drive away. But I had seen too many weak people who depended on taxis as their only means of transportation.Unless a situation smelled of danger,I always went to the door.This passenger might be someone who needs my ass

56、istance,I reasoned to myself. So I walked to the door and knocked. “Just a minute,” answered a frail,elderly voice. I could hear something being dragged across the floor.

I took the suitcase to the cab,then returned to assist the woman. She took my arm,and we walked slowly toward the ca
