16、ly to appear?AIn a newspaper.BIn a show.COn a website.DIn a magazine.22（8分）The past ages of man have all been carefully labeled by anthropologists（人类学家）. Descriptions like “Paleolithic(旧石器时代) Man”, “Neolithic(新石器时代) Man”, etc., neatly sum up whole periods. When the time comes for anthropologists to

17、turn their attention to the twenty-first century, they will surely choose the label “Legless Man”. Histories of the time will go something like this: “In the twenty-first century, people forgot how to use their legs. Men and women moved about in cars, buses and trains from a very early age. There we

18、re lifts in all large buildings to prevent people from walking. And the surprising thing is that they didnt use their legs even when they went on holiday. They built cable railways, ski-lifts and roads to the top of every huge mountain. All the beauty spots on earth were ruined by the presence of la

19、rge car parks.”The future history books might also record that we lost the right of using our eyes. In our hurry to get from one place to another, we failed to see anything on the way. Air travel gives you a birds-eye view of the world or even less if the wing of the aircraft happens to get in your

20、way. When you travel by car or train, the unclear picture of the countryside constantly slides over the window. When you mention the most impressive place-names in the world, the typical 21st century traveler always says “Ive been there.”meaning “I drove through it at 100 miles an hour on the way to

21、 somewhere else.”When you travel at high speeds, the present means nothing: you live mainly in the future because you spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place. But actual arrival, when it is achieved, is meaningless. You want to move on again. By traveling like this, y

22、ou skip all experience. The traveler on foot, on the other hand, lives in the present. For him traveling and arriving are one and the same thing: he arrives somewhere with every step he makes. He experiences the present moment with his eyes, his ears and the whole of his body. At the end of his jour

23、ney he feels a delicious physical tiredness. Satisfying sleep will be his: the just reward of all true travelers.1、Anthropologists name man nowadays “Legless Man” because _.Apeople prefer cars, buses and trainsBpeople travel without using legsClifts prevent people from walkingDpeople use their legs

24、less and less2、According to the passage, what might make people lose the right of using their eyes?AThe modern means of transportation. BA birds-eye view of the world.CThe unclear sight from the vehicles. DThe fast-paced life style.3、From the passage, we know traveling at high speeds means _.Aapprec

26、l is on foot.23（8分）Imagine waking up one day and finding that your beautiful local beach is no moregone, its fine white sand swept away by an abnormal storm. You go about your daily business for 12 long years and then suddenly the beach is back, all its glory restored by another storm. This is what

27、happened on the island of Achill, off the coast of Ireland, where people are celebrating the return of the beautiful Ashleam Bay beach that was taken from them in 2005.That in itself is unusual enough, but the story gets even better! You see, another beach in Achill did a disappearing act once, but

28、took much longer to return. The beach at Doonagh, located only six miles away from Ashleam Bay, was restored earlier in 2016 after waves created by spring storms had swept away all the sand in 1984, leaving just rock pools behind.There is local legend that stretches back hundreds of years that says

29、this beach at Ashlcam Bay returns for a short every seven years then disappears again. But this time around it took a bit longer than that. It was last seen in 2005 and it stayed for a few months at that time before it was washed away again.As you can imagine, everyone on the island of Achill is thr

30、illed to have their sandy beach back, and even though no one knows how long its going to be around for, they are making the most of the time theyve got before it disappears again.Some may be quick to believe climate changes cause the phenomenon, but thats not the reason these two beaches in Achill k

31、eep disappearing, Dr Kevin Lynch, a geographer at NUT Galway, says that these occurrences are the result of hydrodynamics (流体力学) and sediment(沉积物) supply, rather than climate changes.Regardless of whats causing them, disappearing and reappearing beaches are just part of what makes nature so fascinat

32、ing.1、What is peoples reaction to the return of the Ashleam Bay beach?AFull of fear.BQuite delighted.CVery disappointed.DExtremely con fused.2、What can we learn about the beach at Doonagh?AIt is not located in Ireland.BIt disappeared 12 years ago.CIt once disappeared for more than 30 years.DIt is ju

It could be something as simple as not getting the job you wanted, or getting fewer marks ev

35、en after hard work. But what makes you is not your failure, but how you get back up after being hit.Once, a young school boy was caught in a fire accident in his school and was assumed that he would not live. His mother was told that he was sure to die, for the terrible fire had destroyed the lower

36、half of his body. Even if he were to survive, he would be lame throughout his life.But the brave boy did not want to die nor did he want to be lame. Much to the amazement of the doctor, he did survive. But unfortunately from his waist down, he had no motor ability. His thin legs just hung there, lif

37、eless. Eventually he left the hospital. But his determination to walk was unshakable. At home, when he was not in bed, he had to stay in a wheelchair. One day, he threw himself from the chair and pulled himself across the grass, dragging his legs behind him. He reached the fence, raised himself up a

38、nd then began dragging himself along the fence, firmly determined. He did this every day, with faith in himself that he would be able to walk unaided. With his iron determination, he did develop the ability to stand up, then to walk on and off, then to walk by himself and then to run.He began to wal

39、k to school, and then run to school, to run for the joy of running. Later in college he was on the track team.In February 1934, in New York Citys Madison Square Garden, this young man who was not expected to survive, who would surely never walk, who could never hope to run - this determined young ma

40、n, Dr. Glenn Cunningham, ran the worlds fastest mile.A good example of the power of positive thinking and faith in oneself, Glenn Cunningham continues to be an inspiration for many, and his story, a brilliant evidence to how one can bounce back even when all difficulties are piled against one, to th

44、tically maintain stable core body temperatures in cold winters and warm summers. In addition, people have developed cultural patterns and technologies that help them adjust to extremes of temperature and humidity (湿度).In very cold climates, there is a constant danger of developing hypothermia, which

45、 is a life-threatening drop in core body temperature to below normal levels. The normal temperature for humans is about 37.0CHowever, differences in persons and even the time of day can cause it to be as much as 6C higher or lower in healthy individuals. It is also normal for core body temperature t

46、o be lower in elderly people. Hypothermia begins to occur when the core body temperature drops to 34.4CBelow 29.4C, the body cools more rapidly because its natural temperature regulating system usually fails. The rapid decline in core body temperature is likely to result in death. However, there hav

47、e been rare cases in which people have been saved after their temperatures had dropped to 13.9-15.6CThis happened in 1999 to a Swedish woman who was trapped under an ice sheet in freezing water for 80 minutes. She was found unconscious, not breathing, and her heart had stopped beating, yet she was e

48、ventually saved despite the fact that her temperature had dropped to 13.7CIn extremely hot climates or as a result of uncontrollable infections, core body temperatures can rise to equally dangerous levels. This is hyperthermia. Life-threatening hyperthermia typically starts in humans when their temp

49、eratures rise to 40.6-41.7COnly a few days at this extraordinarily high temperature level is likely to result in the worsening of internal organs and death.1、What keeps our body temperature stable?ACulture and technologies.BThe stable earth temperature.COur strong determination.DSome kind of in-body

50、 system.2、What is a Swedish woman mentioned for in the text?AProving the strength of life.BArguing against some conclusion.CShowing the limit on humans body temperature.DIntroducing an exceptional case about our body temperature.3、Which of the following may cause hyperthermia?AExtreme climates.BVery
