You don't need to spend a long layover(短暂停留) in a passenger lounge. Some airports offer free or low-cost local tours to connecting passengers. "If you have a five- or six-hour layover, you can easily see several things, "said Brendan Dorsey of The Points Guy, a site devoted to traveling on points and miles. Some tours have fees, and it's important to check on visa requirements.

Tiny microbes(微生物)are at the heart of a new agricultural technique to manage harmful greenhouse gas. Scientists have discovered how microbes can be used to turn carbon dioxide into soil-enriching limestone(石灰石), with the help of a type of tree that grows in tropical areas, such as West Africa. Researchers have found that when the Iroko tree is grown in dry, acidic soil and treated with a combination of natural fungi(霉菌)and other bacteria, not only does the tree grow well, it also produces the mineral limestone in the soil around its root. The Iroko tree makes a mineral by combining Ca from the earth with CO2 from the atmosphere. The bacteria then create the conditions under which this mineral turns into limestone. The discovery offers a new way to lock carbon into the soil, keeping it out of the atmosphere. In addition to storing carbon in the trees leaves and in the form of limestone. the mineral in the soil makes it more suitable for agriculture. The discovery could lead to reforestation(重新造林) projects in tropical countries, and help reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in the developing world. It has already been used in West Africa and is being tested in Bolivia, Haiti and India. The findings were made in a three-year project involving researchers from the Universities of Edinburgh, Granada, Lausanne and Delft University of Technology. The project examined several microbiological methods of locking CO2 as limestone, and the Iroko-bacteria way showed best results. Work was funded by the European Commission under the Future&Emerging Technologies(FET)scheme. Dr Bryne Ngwenya of the University of Edinburgh’s School of GeoSciences, who led the research, said:“By taking advantage of this natural limestone-producing process, we have a low-tech,safe, readily employed and easily operating way to lock carbon out of the atmosphere, while improving farming conditions in tropical countries.” 【1】The passage is mainly introducing______. A.some useful natural fungi and bacteria B.a new way to deal with greenhouse gas C.a newly-found tree in West Africa D.the soil-enriching limestone created by scientists 【2】Which of the following is True about tiny microbes? A.Most tiny microbes like living in dry, acidic soil. B.CO2 can be broken down by natural fungi and bacteria. C.The more greenhouse gas is, the more active tiny microbes become. D.Tiny microbes get along well with the Iroko tree in special soil. 【3】What does the underlined word"it"in paragraph 3 probably refer to? A.Soil. B.Carbon. C.Limestone. D.Carbon. 【4】According to the passage, what can we infer? A.The action of the tiny microbes can increase the oxygen in the earth B.Researchers have done the experiment on trees in Africa for three years C.Researchers tend to use natural power to solve their problem D.West Africa is one of the most polluted areas all over the world |

Mickey Wilson had been on the mountain only a few seconds when he heard the scream.Wilson,28 years old, had just gotten off the cable car(索道缆车) at the Arapahoe Basin Ski Area in Keystone, Colorado, along with his friends Billy Simmons and Hans Mueller. Their friend Richard had been on the cable car ahead of them, but when the men reached the top of the lift, he had disappeared. The men walked toward the source of the scream and found skiers stopped on the slope,pointing to the cable car. And then the friends screamed too. “Oh, Richard! ”yelled Mueller. When Richard had tried to jump off the cable car, his backpack had been caught in the chair.which then dragged him back down the hill. In the process, the backpack belt twisted around his neck, making him breathless. Now Richard's body was swinging four feet above the snow. The cable car operator had quickly stopped it, and the friends kicked off their skis and ran toward the scene.They made a human pyramid to try to reach Richard, but the unconscious man was too far off the ground. With the clock ticking, Wilson ran to the ladder of a nearby lift tower. Scared skiers watched as he struggled the 25 feet. After he reached the top, Wilson’s first challenge was to climb onto the two-inch steel cable that held the chairs. He handled the balance and height bravely, but he knew he could not walk on the cable. Therefore, he calmed down and sat over it and then used his hands to pull himself to Richard quickly. Wilson’s greatest fear wasn't that he'd fall, but that he wouldn’t reach Richard. “This was life or death,”he said. When he reached Richards chair, Wilson swung a leg over the cable and attempted to drop down onto it. But as he did that, his jacket caught on the movable footrest, which was in the up position.The footrest began to slide down, with Wilson attached. But before that could happen, he managed to free himself and reached Richard. Fortunately, the ski patrol (巡查)had gathered below and performed emergency treatment on Richard, who had been hanging for about five minutes, then skied him down to an ambulance. That night, Richard called from the hospital to express his thanks to Wilson, his other friends and the workers at the Arapahoe Basin Ski Area. 【1】What happened to Richard when he tried to jump off the cable car? A.He was sick and became unconscious. B.He left his skis which stopped the cable car C.He was too afraid to move forward in the cable car D.He was caught by the neck, hanging down the cable 【2】How did Richard survive? A.People worked together and saved him B.The ski patrol got him down and treated him C.Wilson climbed on the cable and saved him D.Skiers treated him and carried him to the hospital 【3】The story at the Arapahoe Basin Ski Area mainly tells us A.he that climbs high often falls heavily B.bravery and calm can help you make a difference C.where there is a lack of carefulness, there is danger D.a person with a great talent always has great will-power |

Have you ever fallen for a novel and been amazed not to find it on lists of great books? Or walked around a sculpture known as a classic, struggling to see why it is famous? If so, you’ve probably thought about the question a psychologist, James Cutting, asked himself: How does a work of art come to be considered great? The direct answer is that some works of art are just great: of inner superior quality. The paintings that win prime spots in galleries, get taught in classes are the ones that have proved their artistic value over time. If you can't see they’re superior, that's your problem. But some social scientists have been asking questions of it, raising the possibility that artistic canons(名作目录)are little more than old historical accidents. Cutting, a professor at Cornell University, wondered if a psychological pattern known as the“mere-exposure effect”played a role in deciding which paintings rise to the top of the cultural league. Cutting designed an experiment to test his hunch(直觉). Over a lecture course he regularly showed undergraduates works of impressionism for two seconds at a time. Some of the paintings canonical, included in art-history books. Others were lesser known but of comparable quality were exposed four times as often. Afterwards, the students preferred them to the canonical works, while a control group liked the canonical ones best. Cutting’s students had grown to like those paintings more simply because they had seen them more. Cutting believes his experiment casts light on how canons are formed. He reproduced works of impressionism today bought by five or six wealthy and influential collectors in the late 19th century.Their preferences given to certain works made them more likely to be hung in galleries and printed in collections. And the fame passed down the years. The more people were exposed to, the more they liked it, and the more they liked it, the more it appeared in books, on posters and in big exhibitions. Meanwhile, academics and critics added to their popularity. After all, it's not just the masses who tend to rate what they see more often more highly. Critics'praise is deeply mixed with publicity. “Scholars”, Cutting argues,“are no different from the public in the effects of mere exposure.” The process described by Cutting show a principle that the sociologist Duncan Watts calls“cumulative advantage”:once a thing becomes popular, it will tend to become more popular still.A few years ago, Watts had a similar experience to Cutting's in another Paris museum. After queuing to see the"Mona Lisa "at the Louvre, he came away puzzled: why was it considered so superior to the three other Leonardos, to which nobody seemed to be paying the slightest attention? When Watts looked into the history of"the greatest painting of all time", he discovered that, for most of its life, the"Mona Lisa"remained in relative obscurity. In the 1850s, Leonardo da Vinci was considered no match for giants of Renaissance art like Titian and Raphael, whose works were worth almost ten times as much as the"Mona Lisa" It was only in the 20th century that"Mona Lisa rocketed to the number-one spot. What brought it there wasn’t a scholarly re-evaluation, but a theft.In 1911 a worker at the Louvre walked out of the museum with the " Mona Lisa"hidden under his coat. Parisians were shocked at the theft of a painting to which, until then, they had paid little attention.When the museum reopened, people queued to see it. From then on, the"Mona Lisa "came to represent Western culture itself. The intrinsic (本质的) quality of a work of art is starting to seem like its least important attribute. But perhaps it's more significant than our social scientists admit. Firstly, a work needs a certain quality to reach the top of the pile. The"Mona Lisa"may not be a worthy world champion but it was in the Louvre in the first place, and not by accident. Secondly, some objects are simply better than others.Read“Hamlet”after reading even the greatest of Shakespeare's contemporaries,and the difference may strike you as unarguable. A study suggests that the exposure effect doesnt work the same way on everything, and points to a different conclusion about how canons are formed. Great art and mediocrity (平庸)can get confused, even by experts. But that’s why we need to see, and read, as much as we can. The more were exposed to the good and the bad, the better we are at telling the difference. 【1】What is the function of the questions in the first paragraph? A.To arouse readers' interest in the topic to be discussed. B.To serve as an introduction to the topic to be discussed. C.To explain the reasons for some works being great. D.To share the similarity of classics to sculpture. 【2】What was the result of Cuttings experiment? A.His subjects liked the famous paintings because of their comparable quality. B.His subjects liked lesser known works because of more exposure to them. C.His subjects showed no difference between the two types of works. D.All the subjects preferred the famous works shown to them. 【3】What caused the superiority of the Mona Lisa to Leonardo’s other works according to Watts? A.The preference of wealthy and influential collectors. B.The theft of the painting by a worker. C.The fame of Leonardo Da Vinci. D.The cumulative advantage. 【4】What does the underline words “remained in relative obscurity”in Para 6 mean? A.remained relatively unknown B.became publicly known C.was widely recognized D.remained totally unchanged 【5】“Hamlet”is mentioned in paragraph 7 mainly to illustrate that______. A.“Hamlet”is the greatest work of Shakespeare. B.the"Mona Lisa "is no comparable to"Hamlet" C.the greatest of an art work lies in its inner value D.The works of Shakespeare are worse than his contemporaries. 【6】What can be a suitable title for the passage? A.How exposure leads to fame B.Why the Mona Lisa stands out C.Cumulative advantage makes great works D.The Mona Lisa,the greatest painting of all time |

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相对应的题号的横线上。 Fighting the curse of presenteeism “ It’s true hard work never killed anybody, but I figure, why take the chance?” Beyond a certain level, extra effort seems to be self-defeating. Studies suggest that, after 50 hours a week, employee productivity falls sharply. But that doesn't stop some managers from demanding that workers stay chained to their desk for long periods. Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba, recently applauded the "996” model, where employees work from 9am to 9pm, six days a week, as a huge blessing”. However, to modem office workers presenteeism is a curse. There will be days when you do not have much to do, just waiting for someone else to respond to a request. As the clock ticks past 5pm, there may be no purpose in staying at your desk. But you can see your boss hard at work and, more important, they can see you, So you make an effort to look busy. If bosses do not like to go home before their underlings （下属）and underlings fear leaving before their bosses, everyone is trapped. Staff may feel that they will not get a pay rise, or a promotion, if they are not seen to be putting in maximum effort. This is easily confused with long hours. Managers, who are often no good at judging employees’ performance, use time in the office as a measurement. But presenteeism has more serious consequences. As well as reducing productivity, this can increase medical expenses for the employer. According to a study, these costs can be six times higher for employers than the costs of absenteeism among workers. To take one example, research found that Japanese employees with lower-back pain were three times more likely to turn up for work than in Britain. As a result, those workers were more likely to experience greater pain and to suffer from depression. What could be more discouraging than being in pain while feeling trapped at work? “None of this is to say that employers are not entitled to expect workers to be in the office for a small amount of time. Unavoidably there will be a need for some (preferably short )meetings. Dealing with colleagues face-to-face develops friendships, allows for a useful exchange of ideas and enables workers to have a better sense of their common needs. With portable smartphones and laptops, we can work at home as easily as in the office. Turning an office into a prison does nothing for the creativity that is increasingly demanded of office workers as routine tasks are automatic. To be productive you need presence of mind, not being present in the flesh.
