I

11、n my brief time there, I came to love Scotland for its local culture, food and scenery.You might think, “Scotland isnt so different from the US; they still speak English there!” But when I stepped off the plane, I was greeted by a gruff-voiced(声音粗哑的) lady at customs. “Youll be coming from America, t

12、hen?” She asked me, and I nodded. “But all of our guys are leaving Glasgow for the States!” Her thick Scottish English and sense of humor were obvious right away. I was not in the US any more, where customs agents never joke around.As I settled in at the university, I could feel myself getting used

13、to hearingand even speakingthe Scottish English of my customs agent. In classroom discussions, people would say “em” when they couldnt think of what to say instead of “um”, which was great fun. After the first few weeks, I stopped chuckling about this. Strathclyde students stayed up late into the ni

14、ght, running around campus and shouting, “Go! Lets go, lets go, lets go curse word Glasgow!” Pretty soon, I was no longer saying “thanks” at the supermarketinstead, I said “cheers”.My Scottish friends drank whiskey and ate haggis(羊杂碎布丁). I drank plenty of whiskey but felt ashamed to admit that I was

15、nt brave enough to try haggis. Scottish bakeries usually sell bridies (肉馅饼). Add a cup of teathough I usually Americanized it by choosing coffee insteadand a bridie makes for a delicious breakfast.Every time I took a train anywhere in Scotland, Id gaze out at the rolling hills and wonder if grass wa

The climate is great for travel for just about the whole of the continent with just a few areas affected

19、by extreme heat.The north of Europe is lovely during this month and summer is the ideal time to visit those countries that are generally considered a little cold and damp such as Ireland, Scotland or Holland.In AsiaThis season is considered the least favourable.The monsoon(季风)season is at its height

20、 over the majority of this area with the exception of only a few countries (Kerala or Tamil Nadu in India,Bali and the southern islands of Indonesia,etc.) Everywhere else is hot, and very damp climate prevails(盛行).In AfricaThe Maghreb countries are crowded with tourists.The climate is hot and dry.Th

25、）J.K. Rowling is the author of the most successful book series in history, but her attempt to take on a new career as a screenwriter hasnt been as smooth as she may have thought it would be. The sequel(续篇), “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald”, shows that even the most successful author in

26、the world is in need of checks and balances when making the transition to cinema.Following the sale of half a billion copies of the Harry Potter series, Rowling is working hard to extend and enrich the mythology she created around the child wizard. In contrast to the eight Harry Potter movies, which

27、 were based on the seven books and most of which were written by experienced screenwriter Steve Kloves, the “Fantastic Beasts” series is scripted only by Rowling. This time she skipped the bookstores and went straight to the movie theater.The “Fantastic Beasts” series takes its title from one of Har

28、ry Potters textbooks. The leap backward in time, a new set of adult heroes and a globe-spanning background show that Rowling is in tune with her fans and the spirit of the times. Harry Potter and his friends started out as a typical product of 1990s naivety, but since then the loyal veteran audience

29、 has experienced the shocks of the 21st century and grown mature and discouraged. The “Fantastic Beasts” series feel less like childrens fare; they deal with adults and frightening events that occurred in Europe at the end of the 1920s.Its 193, and the criminal Grindelwald has escaped from prison to

30、 Europe. The hero, Newt Scamander, a zoologist of fantastic beasts, prefers to distance himself from politics and maintain his improvised nature reserve in London. But the young Prof. Dumbledore reminds him that neutrality is not an option in hard times. Dumbledore urges him to cross the Channel to

31、Paris and stop Grindelwald, who is trying to plot a war to ensure the purity of the wizard race.The rough outline of the plot constitutes only part of the movie. There are many other characters who appear in the mystery. I will mention the boy Credence who continues to have a central role in the str

32、uggle between the hero and the villain, even as his background remains a mystery. Similarly, Newts brother and partner, the snake-woman Nagini, and other new and old characters hint at an obscure past and future. Rowling populates her world with characters large and small, odd beasts and simplifies

33、its story to lay the foundation work of the universe. The film lays strong foundations of mystery, but forgets to build any sort of structure above them. Its like a construction site where the budget ran out too fast.With movie screens full of superheroes and fantasy films, and every studio trying t

34、o float a fictional universe, Rowling is todays most creative builder of cinema worlds, but theres still a difference between her and a mega-corporation like Disney. Every character and beast is there because Rowling said so, not because the marketing division thought it would promote sales of merch

35、andise. Rowling clearly has a true passion to create a mythology, and just as clearly, she hasnt yet finished creating it.The “Fantastic Beasts” series offers a world even fuller than that of Harry Potter. Once more she collaborates with David Yates, who directed the last four Harry Potter movies an

36、d now the two “Fantastic Beasts” pictures. Still, the world shes created would be even more wondrous if Rowling had only filled it out with a crystallized or at least coherent plot. In the Harry Potter series, she mostly succeeded in making the films into independent works. But without experienced s

37、creenwriters to mediate between her imagination and the screen, the two “Fantastic Beasts” episodes are more like a chess game in which the creator moves characters from A to B as part of a broader strategy-which remains unclear.“Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald” is a film made for existi

38、ng fans and doesnt bother to appeal to a new audience. Not by chance does it offer a more mature world for fans who have grown up at least as much as Daniel Radcliffe. For them, the movie delivers the goods, but little of the magic remains. If Rowling continues to put out films without a beginning a

39、nd an end, her world will collapse, leaving only the middle. It may be entertainment with captivating characters and effects, but its not a movie.1、What changes has J.K. Rowling made in her writing career?AShe was forced to abandon her original writing career and start a new one.BShe was determined

40、to skip the bookstores and publish books on her own.CShe started a new fantasy book having nothing to do with the Harry Potter series.DShe tried to enrich the Harry Potter series as a screenwriter rather than a novelist.2、Who are probably the target audience of the “Fantastic Beasts” series?AKids ne

41、wly introduced to magic. BTeenage students with grand dreams.CAdults going through life changes. DProfessional critics of fantasy books.3、What are the features of the “Fantastic Beasts” series?AComplex story and exciting characters.BSimple story but abundant characters.CChildish story and strange ch

42、aracters.DSad story but inspiring characters.4、Big corporations like Disney choose movie characters and beasts based on _.Apotential profitability of the movies Bpreference of their screenwritersCconsultation with the original author Dinvestigation into successful films5、How does the author explain

43、Rowlings failure to create a clear plot?ABy describing shooting processes. BBy listing official statistics.CBy drawing a comparison. DBy citing examples.6、What does the author think of J. K. Rowlings performance as a screenwriter?AIt is really a disappointment for movie goers.BIt is widely acknowled

44、ged by her book fans.CThere exits much more magic in her screenplay.DThere is still much room for improvement.24（8分）Dogs and humans have been living side-by-side for about 15,000 years, but there are tons of facts about dogs that perhaps we have never heard of.Night visionDogs have good night vision

45、. Their large pupils let more light in and the rods (视杆细胞) work better in poor light. But the biggest factor is the tapetum (反光组织), which reflect light at the back of the eye. Besides, dogs whiskers (胡须) also help them “see” in the dark because they pick up on very small changes in air, providing do

46、gs with information about the size, shape, and speed of things nearby.Secret tail codeDogs can use their tails to communicate. They wag their tails to the right when they are relaxed or happy, and to the left when nervous or threatened. When they re aggressive, the tails will stick straight-up in th

47、e air. A broad wag is friendly while a slow wag is neutral, neither excited nor anxious.DreamsWe often see a dogs body making sudden movements in its sleep. Dogs have the same brain wave patterns as humans while they are asleep, so they dream just like we do.Super noseDogs can find their way home de

48、spite long distances. Their noses are a vital part of their incredible sense of direction. The part of a dogs brain that controls smell is 40 times larger than humans. Theyre able to follow smells for miles. Furthermore, dogs have an amazing ability to recognize the smells given off by the abnormal

49、cells in human bodies, including cancer. This is something scientists are eager to explore further. And interesting, a dogs “fingerprint” is on its nose. The patterns on dogs noses are so distinct that they can actually be used to identify the animals.A sixth senseDogs act strangely before something

50、 bad, like a storm or earthquake, happens, for they are sensitive to low frequencies that humans cant sense. So dont let their strange behavior go unnoticed next time. It could save your life.1、Which of the following indirectly helps dogs see well in the dark?ATheir rods. BTheir tapetum.CTheir whisk

51、ers. DTheir pupils.2、If a dog holds up the tail, it indicates _.Ahappiness BattackCfriendliness Drelaxation3、What hasnt been discovered about a dog?AWhy it can sense natural disasters. BWhy it has an acute sense of smell.CWhat emotions it shows with its tail. DHow it can smell humans illnesses.4、In

52、what way are dogs like humans?AThey dream when they sleep. BThey have good night vision.CThey have distinct nose patterns. DThey can react to low frequencies.25（10分） Its 3 oclock and youve been hard at work. As you sit at your desk, a strong desire for chocolate overcomes you. You try to busy yourse

53、lf to make it go away. But it doesnt. Here is another situation. Perhaps you are not feeling well. The only thing you want to eat is a big bowl of chicken soup, like your mum used to make when you were sick as a child. Food cravings are a strong desire for a specific type of food. And they are norma

54、l.Scientists at the website How Stuff Works compare hunger and cravings this way. Hunger is a fairly simple connection between the stomach and the brain. They even call it simply “stomach hunger”. When our stomachs burn up all of the food we have eaten, a hormone (激素) sends a message to one part of

55、the brain for more food, which regulates our most basic body functions such as thirst, hunger and sleep. The brain then produces a chemical to start the appetite and you eat. Hunger is a function of survival.A craving is more complex. It activates brain areas related to emotion, memory and reward. T

56、hese are the same areas of the brain activated during drug-craving studies. Because of this, some scientists call food cravings “mind hunger”. People often crave foods that are high in fat and sugar. Foods that are high in fat or high in sugar produce chemicals in the brain. These chemicals give us

57、feelings of pleasure.In a 2007 study, researchers at Cambridge University found that dieting or restricted eating generally increases the possibility of food cravings. So, the more you deny yourself a food that you want, the more you may crave it. However, fasting (禁食) is a bit different. They found

58、 that eating no food at all for a short period of time lessened food cravings.So, the next time you crave something very specific, know that your brain may be more to blame than your stomach.1、What is the function of the first paragraph?ATo deepen the understanding of hunger.BTo lead to the topic of

59、 the whole passage.CTo report the discovery of craving study.DTo remind readers of their own special food.2、What do we learn about food cravings?AIt means the stomach functions well.BIt ensures a person survives hunger.CIt shows food is linked to feelings.DIt proves the brain decides your appetite.3

60、、Whats the likely result of dieting?AThe increase of food desire.BThe decrease of chemicals.CThe refusal of fat and sugar.DThe disappearance of appetite.4、What does the passage mainly discuss?AThe findings of food cravings.BWhat hunger is all about.CThe functions of brain areas.DWhat dieting may bri
