Holmes had taken out his watch, and as minute followed minute without result, an expression of the utmost annoyance and disappointment appeared upon his features. He bit his lip, drummed his fingers upon the table, and showed every other symptom of acute intolerance. So great was his emotion that I felt sincerely sorry for him, while the two detectives smiled derisively (嘲弄地), by no means displeased at this check which he had met. “It can't be a coincidence,” he cried, at last springing from his chair and pacing wildly up and down the room. “It is impossible that it should be a mere coincidence. The very pills which I suspected in the case of Drebber are actually found after the death of Stangerson. And yet they are inert (惰性的). What can it mean? Surely my whole chain of reasoning cannot have been false. It is impossible! And yet this wretched dog is none the worse. Ah, I have it! I have it!” With a perfect shriek of delight he rushed to the box, cut the other pill in two, dissolved it, added milk, and presented it to the terrier (㹴犬). The unfortunate creature's tongue seemed hardly to have been moistened in it before it gave a convulsive shiver in every limb, and lay as rigid and lifeless as if it had been struck by lightning. Sherlock Holmes drew a long breath, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.“I should have more faith,”he said,“I ought to know by this time that when a fact appears to be opposed to a long train of deductions, it uncertainly proves to be capable of bearing some other interpretation. Of the two pills in that box, one was of the most deadly poison, and the other was entirely harmless. I ought to have known that before ever I saw the box at all.” This last statement appeared to me to be so startling that I could hardly believe that he was in his sober senses. There was the dead dog, however, to prove that his conjecture (推测) had been correct. It seemed to me that the mists in my own mind were gradually clearing away, and I began to have a dim, vague perception of the truth. 【1】Judging by Holmes’ facial expressions from the first paragraph, he appeared to be _______. A.impatient B.worried C.amazed D.satisfied 【2】When are the very pills actually found according to the third paragraph? A.On arriving on the spot. B.When testing the dog. C.After the death of Stangerson. D.After Holmes’ thinking for so long. 【3】How did Holmes prove his own conjecture from the third and fourth paragraphs? A.By taking the pills. B.By sending for others to test the pills. C.By testing himself. D.By doing the experiment with the dog. |

When the island of Singapore became an independent country in 1965, it had few friends and even fewer natural resources. How did it become one of the world’s great trading and financial centres? The strategy, explained Lee Kuan Yew, its first prime minister, was “to develop Singapore’s only available natural resource: its people”. Today Singapore’s education system is considered the best in the world. The country consistently ranks at the top of the OECD’s Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), a triennial test of 15-year-olds in dozens of countries, in the main three categories of maths, reading and science. Singaporean pupils are roughly three years ahead of their American peers in maths. Singapore does similarly well in exams of younger children, and the graduates of its best schools can be found scattered around the world’s finest universities. The island-state has much to teach the world. But other countries are reluctant pupils. One reason is that Singapore favors traditional education, with teachers leading the class. That contrasts with many reformers’ preference for looser, more “progressive” teaching intended to encourage children to learn for themselves. Although international studies suggest that direct instruction is indeed a good way of conveying knowledge, critics argue that Singapore has a “drill and kill” model that produces uncreative, miserable maths expert. Parents worry about the stress the system puts on their children. Yet Singapore shows that academic brilliance need not come at the expense of personal skills. In 2015 Singaporean students also came first in a new PISA ranking designed to look at co-operative problem-solving, scoring even better than they did in reading and science. They also reported themselves to be happy—more so than children in Finland, for instance, a country that educationalists regard as an example of how to achieve remarkable results with cuddlier (逗人喜爱的) methods of teaching. Not content with its achievements, Singapore is now introducing reforms to improve creativity and reduce stress. This is not a sign of failure, but rather of a gradual, evidence-led approach to education reform—the first of three lessons that Singapore offers the rest of the world. 【1】What made Singapore become one of the world’s great trading and financial centres? A.Its unique location. B.Its people. C.Other country’s help. D.Its technology. 【2】Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A.American peers are three years ahead of Singaporean pupils in maths. B.Other countries are modelling after Singapore’s loose teaching method. C.Singapore is performing educational reforms to improve creativity and reduce stress . D.Singapore is an example of how to get brilliant results with cuddlier methods of teaching. 【3】What is the passage mainly about? A.Singapore ’s development. B.Singapore ’s financial centre. C.Singapore’s advanced education system. D.Singapore ’s academic performance. |

Fire ants dig tunnels efficiently by only a small percentage of the group doing most of the work. Free-loaders just sit around while their hard-working colleagues get things done. But might freeloaders actually be necessary for society to function efficiently? The answer could be yes. Fire ants are highly social organisms. So, Goldman, a physicist at Georgia Tech, and his colleagues wanted to know how individual ants knew what to do without a central leader issuing orders. To find out, Goldman's team labeled individual fire ants with paint and then watched them dig their narrow tunnels —barely wide enough for two workers. Turns out, just 30 percent of the ants did 70 percent of the labor. “I was surprised that we ended up with so few workers actually doing the work at any one time. ” A quarter of the ants never even entered the tunnel. Others crawled inside, but left without digging single grain of dirt. These idling behaviors ensured the tunnels did not get clogged with insect traffic, which would make the construction process stop. And when the scientists removed the five hardest working ants from the colony, others immediately jumped in to compensate (补偿) — with no reduction in the group's productivity. It seems that it doesn’t matter which ants are working or freeloading at a given time, as long as there is some division of labor to keep the tunnels flowing smoothly. The findings are in the journal Science. The study could have implications for robotics. Imagine groups of robots sent to search rubble (碎石) for disaster survivors. Or nanobots (纳米机器人) coursing through our bodies to diagnose illness and deliver targeted medical treatment. Such robot groups will need to avoid getting jammed up in tight spaces. It might be necessary to program them so some just sit back and watch their comrades work. 【1】How do fire ants get the work done when digging tunnels? A.Only the leaders do most of the work. B.They all work under the order of one leader. C.They all cooperate together to do the work efficiently. D.Individual fire ants know their tasks and work efficiently. 【2】The underlined word “clogged ” in the second paragraph can be replaced by _______. A.crowded B.transported C.organized D.covered 【3】What will happen if the hardest-working ants are taken away? A.The ants will have no idea what to do. B.Other ants will take their place and do the work. C.The tunnels will get blocked and the work will stop. D.The leader will compensate them and give them food as the reward. 【4】We can learn from the passage that _______. A.fire ants are the most diligent insects. B.scientists may diagnose illness more easily. C.people may feel happy when they watch their colleagues do nothing. D.scientists can deal with robotics better when coming to specific programs. |

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。 Having held the interschool storytelling championship for the past two years, I was the shining star of my school. When it came to choosing the right candidate to participate in such competitions, I was always the first choice. Naturally, I was once again selected to represent my school in the approaching contest this year. Upon hearing the fact that I was chosen again, my classmates and friends acknowledged that I would undoubtedly emerge as the champion again. Consequently, I became conceited. I was so proud that I neglected the importance of practicing for the contest. A week before the contest, my teacher Ms. Sara asked,“Selena, would you like to stand in front of the class to rehearse for the contest ?” She had tutored me in the past two competitions and knew how important practice was .“Just imagine you are on the stage in the presence of the audience, ”she added . “ I’m sorry, Ms. Sara, ” I replied .“I have a bit of a sore throat.” This was usually the lie I would tell whenever my teacher requested me to practice in front of the class. I always found excuses to avoid doing it because I believed that I was the best and therefore the practice was unnecessary. On one occasion, I even told Mrs. Sara not to worry too much as I was well prepared for the contest. In fact, I did everything but practice my scrip. I only managed to glance briefly through the story the day before the contest. As the best storyteller among the students of the local secondary schools, I was too vain to practice and expected everything to be fine. The contest was being held in the local community hall. On the day of the contest, the hall was packed. My school teachers and principal were there along with many of my classmates and schoolmates. I was the eighth contestant out of twenty in total. Those who spoke before me did extremely well. On seeing their fascinating and outstanding performance, I began to lose confidence in myself. My palms sweated heavily and I started to feel nervous. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语； 3. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； 4. 续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。 Paragraph1: Soon, it was my turn to talk. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph2: Finally, results were announced after the contest. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
