11、Indiana. They were so long that he had to brush them every day so that they did not look like a wild hair. They measured more than three inches in length. However, according to NBC News, the one thing that was even more important to him was the Bloomfield Rotary Clubs campaign to end polio (脊髓灰质炎).

12、According to MSN.com, it started out as a light-hearted joke in which his fellow club members said that people would probably pay to trim (修剪) his eyebrows. After thinking about it, Burgher agreed.Tickets for trimming Burghers eyebrows started at $100 for a swipe (刮) with the razor. The first person

13、 in line was his wife. With each eyebrow taking eight swipes to finish off, Burgher managed to raise $ 1,600 for the polio cure. His wife told reporters that she was delighted with his new look and that it made him look kind and handsome.Stunt (特技) DrivingAccording to the report from World of D, Sue

14、 Harding hated the stereotype (成见) that librarians were boring just as much as she cared for the doctors and nurses in the Warwickshire and Northampton Air Ambulance Service. She came up with the idea to get rid of the stereotype by involving herself in a stunt driving course. In the process she rai

15、sed funds. According to the Times, people could come out and watch. All earnings were to be donated to the Warwickshire and Northampton Air Ambulance Service.When the big day came, her stunt driving skills turned out to be quite impressive for a librarian. She put the stunt car through the paces, th

16、rowing handbreak turns and following the speed and shoot chase formation.

18、 (珊瑚) are often described as undersea forests, but they are declining far more quickly than the Amazon. The coral reefs (礁) are likely to be among the first ecosystems to be wiped out by climate change.A temperature rise of just 1 to 2 can lead to the death of the algae (海藻) upon which corals depend

19、, draining them of color and making the structure more fragile. These bleaching (脱色) events can be temporary if waters cool, but the more frequent they are and the longer they last, the greater the risk of damage is. But thats exactly what is happening. Bleaching was first observed in 1983. It was s

20、een on a global level in 1998, then 2010, and then from 2015 to 2017. Most available scientific evidence tells us that unless we do something to limit warming to 1.5, we will lose 99% of the worlds coral reefs in coming decades.But there are other threats beyond warming. Off the Philippine island of

21、 Palawan, its old reefs have been badly damaged by dirty water from the tourist holiday center, pollution from boats and overfishing. The area ought to be a shelter because its one of the ocean regions most bearable to climate change. “Even here, we are losing our corals,” said David Obura, chair of

22、 the Global Specialist Group in the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. “We need to reduce stress from overfishing, coastal development, pollution and tourism.”“Im a generation of scientists watching them disappear. Its very depressing,” Obura said. “Above 1.5, in about 50 years, the

23、y will be a treasure of historic movies and pictures, but very little to see in real life.

26、he beauty of coral reefs23（8分） We human beings need to stay in touch with nature-many studies show how much better people feel when in sight of trees. Yet even more importantly，nature itself needs us to stay in touch. Many politicians and scientists have told us that we can conquer nature，but in rea

27、lity nature will always be beyond our control-we do have the power to destroy it. The fate of all the animals and their habitats depends largely on our attitude towards them. Whether or not we ourselves survive depends on how well we look after the rest. For our sake as well as theirs，we need to con

28、sider it seriously.But how can we care at all if we spend our lives indoors？Born in South London at the end of the Second World War，at least I knew what a sparrow was（theyre rare now）and you couldnt put a spade into our tiny garden without cutting a worm in half. We knew，too，that milk comes from cow

29、s and that old men can grow amazing carrots on poor land. Ultra-urban（极度城市化）as we may have been，at least we were in touch.Now we have a generation who frankly are not in touch. So how can they care if the countryside is sold off to the highest bidders，and used to park helicopters，and our crops come

30、free from Monsanto and our livestock live in factories？They will know no other way.But if we settle for the ultra-urban life，if we allow all wilderness to be compromised and hand our farming over to industrial chemists then，quite simply，the world will fall apart-as it has been doing already. We have

31、 to rethink what agriculture is really for，and why conservation matters to us，as well as to other creatures. Changes of strategies begin with attitude and attitude begins with awareness.1、Which of the following opinions will the author be for？ATechnology will help humans control nature completely.BC

32、onquering nature is the policy of human society.CHumans have to find a way to live in harmony with nature.DWe will lose control of nature with the development of society.2、The second paragraph is intended to tell us that city people in the past_.Awere in close touch with natureBmanaged to survive in

35、eave space for wild animalsDtum farms into big factories24（8分） Theres a song by the great Jamaican singer Bob Marley called So Much Trouble In The World. Marley understood that part of the reason why there are so many problems in the world is the lack of tolerance between people. The UN understands

36、this toothats why it made Nov 16 “International Day for Tolerance”.But first of all, what is tolerance? French philosopher Voltaire (16941778) can give us some help. According to him, tolerance “is the consequence of humanity. We are all formed of frailty (脆弱) and error; let us pardon each others fo

37、llythat is the first law of nature.”Nobodys perfect. When were tempted to criticize another person, we should perhaps remember our own imperfections first.Very often, people dont realize that theyre intolerant. This is because intolerance has a lot to do with ignorance. For example, the UNs campaign

38、 is in part about the treatment of females by males. But often, the behavior of men toward women is intolerant because men dont put themselves in the shoes of women.Its worth thinking a little about the words “tolerance” and “intolerance”. Are they the best words to describe the evils of which were

39、speaking here? To agree to be “tolerant” of someone isnt necessarily a very respectful thing. When someone is tolerated, it implies that theres something wrong with them.But it seems wrong that people should agree to “tolerate” people with black skin, for example. And should women think they have re

40、ceived the respect they are due when men agree to “tolerate” them?Still, what Voltaire said stands: We humans are not perfect and this weakness is something that we all share. Thats the reason we should be tolerant.Its a little like generosity. We can give things to another person, and we can also g

41、ive our forgiveness. Bob Marley understood this. In the song mentioned above, he advised: “Write your love on a rock so it stays for eternity; write your hate in the sand so the waves will wash it away.”1、According to Voltaire, tolerance is _.Abeing willing to express your love to othersBtrying to o

42、vercome your imperfectionsCgiving a hand to vulnerable groups (弱势群体)Daccepting each others weaknesses2、Why are people usually unaware of their intolerance, according to the article?AThey are used to finding faults.BThey consider tolerance a kind of frailty.CThey dont see things from the angle of oth

43、ers.DThey are intolerant of themselves too.3、In what sense is “tolerance” similar to “generosity”?AHumans are advised to treat others better.BHumans learned to find faults in others.CHumans need to give something to others.DHumans will change their attitudes to others.4、The underlined word “this” in

44、 the last paragraph refers to _.Agiving things to othersBforgiving othersCdifferent attitudes toward love and hateDthe fact that humans are imperfect5、Whats the text mainly about?AThe origin of the International Day of Tolerance.BThe meaning and importance of tolerance.CThe philosophy behind Bob Mar

45、leys song.DEffective ways to show tolerance.25（10分） Do you know how it is when you see someone yawn and you start yawning too? Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well, apparently its because we have mirror neurons (神经元) in our brains.Put simply, the existence of mi

46、rror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something, our brains imitate it, whether or not we actually perform the same action. This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile, talk, walk, dance or play sports. But the idea goes further: mirror neurons not only appear to ex

47、plain physical actions, they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people.Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains, but especially in the area which relate to our ability to use languages, and to understand how other people feel. Researchers

48、 have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language. A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to (for example: “The hand took hold of the ball”), the same mirror neurons were triggered as when the action was actually performed (in this example, actually

49、taking hold of a ball).Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning. However, it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find tr

50、eatments for social disorders.Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information concerning how humans behave and interact. Indeed, it may turn out to be the equivalent for neuroscience of what Einsteins theory of relativity was for physics. And the next time you feel the ur

54、ouse ,expressing that a tramp（流浪汉）has passedThis special sign-language is frequently 1 by tramps to inform their 2 whether the host of a certain house is friendly or unfriendly, and to 3 them the trouble of making unnecessary calls.Quite 4 one day, I came across a real tramp. He was such a rare sigh

55、t these days that I stood some distance away and watched him. He was dressed just as a tramp should be 5 , old worn trousers ,and a jacket many sizes too big for him .On his head there was a battered old hat and his boots were so old and worn; they were almost coming into 6 But the man himself looke

Although the sign was meaningless to me, it must have been 10 , for the tramps face lit up with 11 He entered

57、the front gate confidently and rang the bell. When the door opened, I saw him 12 his hat but couldnt hear his words. The 13 was very short indeed, for no sooner had he spoken a few words than the door closed fiercely in his face. I felt 14 for him as he walked 15 out of the house. But just as quickl

58、y, his face lit up again and he moved quickly towards the gate. There he stopped, looked at the sign, and 16 his head seriously as if he had made a bad mistake. 17 deeply into his pockets, he produced a piece of chalk, rubbed out the 18 sign and made a new one in its place. He stared at it for a mom
