Based on new analysis, we are rapidly approaching major climate change and the effects on society and the environment could be quite severe. Geographers predict that within the next eighty years, current world climate zones could shift and some could completely disappear. Polar regions will get colder while tropical regions will get even hotter, forcing animals to migrate (迁徙) north. Climate changes like these could lead to the spread of diseases. Tropical storms and hurricanes will not only increase but may also become more intense. If the changes come too quickly, animal and plant species may not be able to adapt fast enough and could disappear. According to Science Daily, a new study predicts that by the year 2100, many of today's familiar climates will be replaced by climates unknown in today's world. It is urgent that we reduce the risks of these farreaching consequences for the whole world. The planet itself has been showing signs of change. In 2004, a serious tsunami created by a major earthquake killed thousands in Sumatra and in 2008, thousands died in China because of another severe earthquake. Egypt was hit in 2009 with a major earthquake and Haiti was devastated in 2010 by yet another massive earthquake. Within just the last few months, new reports from around the world have been coming in and most agree that our climate situation is much worse than previously thought. At this point, it doesn't matter what is causing it, but rather, what can be done about it. What's more, our world is getting more and more unstable every year. There is war and threat of war everywhere. Natural disasters are becoming more frequent and serious. However, other planets are experiencing global warming as well as our own and some scientists believe there may be some connection between this. No one knows anything for sure at this point because there is simply not enough data. 【1】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage ? A.Ways to protect our planet B.Solutions to climate change C.Be prepared for climate change D.Climate change and its effects 【2】What is the author's purpose in using the examples of earthquakes? A.To show the damage earthquakes caused. B.To remind people to prevent future earthquakes. C.To show major changes are taking place on the planet. D.To tell us more earthquakes will happen in the future. 【3】What does the underlined word “devastated” in Paragraph 3 mean? A.separated. B.destroyed. C.removed. D.affected. 【4】What can be inferred from the passage? A.Animals and plants won't die out as long as climate changes slowly. B.There's enough data for us to predict the future of climate change. C.The world is getting more unstable because of animal migration. D.The earth is not the only planet that is experiencing climate change. |

Two years ago, photographer Gen started his latest project visiting local communities in Latin America. The photo that gave birth to his “You are so beautiful” project was entirely unplanned. In January 2015, Gen was in San Cristobal de las Casas, Mexico. He had been trying to get his female subject to feel more comfortable before his camera, and when a request for her to smile didn’t quite work, he found himself telling her she was beautiful. The result of his shot was so sincere and heartwarming that he decided he had found the concept of his new project. Gen is still on his journey to capture the power of this compliment (赞美). The photos he’s already published on his website, however, show the unbelievable effect these simple words can have. When asked to have her photo taken, Mathilda from Quetzaltenango, Guatemala, said, “I don’t have any teeth. Please don’t make me laugh.” After being told she was beautiful, she didn’t seem to mind anymore. “She and I laughed a lot. It was a nice moment.” Gen said. Margarita was selling fruit on a street in Otavalo, Ecuador, when Gen approached her. She agreed to pose for a picture after the photographer bought some of her fruit, but still didn’t smile when he asked her to. Her smile was genuine, though, when she heard the compliment. Gen met Juliana in a village in northern Colombia where desert meets the Caribbean Sea. The region is extremely dry, with some months seeing almost no rain, and Juliana wore a mask to protect her face from the sun. She was selling handicrafts when Gen approached her, and smiled happily when she received the compliment. Mimba and baby Maya are from Brazil’s Marubo tribe. Mimba was shy, and it was only on the second visit to her home that the photographer finally got her permission to take her photo. She seemed to relax, though, when he paid her a compliment. 【1】Where was the inspiration for Gen’s latest project from? A.His unplanned travel. B.Praise for his photos. C.A shooting experience. D.His love for photography. 【2】Who did Gen meet twice? A.Mimba. B.Margarita. C.Mathilda. D.Juliana. 【3】What do the examples convey? A.Gen thought highly of his subjects. B.Sincere praise makes successful shots. C.Complimenting applies to nearly all women. D.Women are nervous when having photos taken. 【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A.To introduce the effect of photography. B.To provide some advice on complimenting. C.To share his experiences of complimenting. D.To show the amazing power of complimenting. |

“Regardless of social class, race and age, men say they hate to shop,” says Zukin, City University of New York sociology professor. “Yet when you ask them deeper questions, it turns out that they like to shop. Men generally like to shop for books, music and hardware. But if you ask them about the shopping they do for books or music, they'll say, ‘Well, that's not shopping. That's research.’” In other words, what men and women call “buying things” and how they approach that task are different. Women will wander through several 1,000squaremetre stores in search of the perfect party dress. Men will wander through 100 Internet sites in search of the perfect digital camcorder. Women see shopping as a social event. Men see it as a special task or a game to be won. “Men are frequently shopping to win,” says Ann, a marketing professor at Loyola University of Chicago. “They want to get the best deal. They want to get the best and latest one and if they do that, it makes them happy. When women shop, they're doing it in a way that they want everybody to be very happy,” says Ann. “They're kind of shopping for love.” “Teenage girls learn to shop from their mums and elder sisters, and they also learn to shop by examining articles in magazines like Seventeen,” Zukin says. “And although men's magazines such as GQ and Esquire have long had shopping articles, it's TV that has the eye of young male shoppers,” say Ann and Zukin. “Television shows are used by young men in the same way Seventeen or Lucky is used by girls,” says Zukin, “to help make clothing and toiletry choices.” “Of course, there are men who love to shop and are proud of it,” Ann says. And that is important no matter whether you buy a car or a frying pan. All men love to buy but don't want to get cheated. Ann adds, “There actually are men who are interested, for example, in cooking or shopping or chinaware or things around the home-they become kind of girl magnets. Women like it.” 【1】From the first paragraph we can find that . A.men like to shop in fact B.men are all dishonest C.men hate to shop actually D.men are all booklovers 【2】Compared to women, men usually treat shopping . A.honestly B.frequently C.seriously D.foolishly 【3】As is shown in this passage, teenage girls go shopping . A.only with their sisters B.often following magazines C.only with their mums D.often following TV shows 【4】The underlined word “magnets” in the last paragraph means “ “. A.vegetables that make women beautiful B.magazines that attract young women C.persons that have a powerful attraction D.tools that can help housewives much |

One of the areas of our body which conveys most about how we feel is how we move our hands and arms. 【1】 ,but most often they occur unconsciously and naturally. 【2】. Open hands and arms, especially extended, and with hands up in front of the body at chest height, indicates that what you're saying is important, and, especially when people are speaking in public, a pointing finger or a hand waving above the shoulders stresses a personal point. However, research shows that people often find speakers who point their fingers a lot rather annoying. Openness or honesty. 【3】, they will often hold one or both of their hands out to the other person. Footballers who have just committed a foul(犯规) often use this gesture to try to convince the referee that they didn't do it. Nervousness. If a person puts his hand to his mouth，this either indicates that he is hiding something, or that he is nervous. 【4】, and so does holding a bag or briefcase very tightly in front of the body.

A.Saying something important B.When people want to be open or honest C.Hand and arm gestures are sometimes intentional D.But this gesture can simply mean that the person is cold E.This gesture is typical of lawyers，accountants, and other professionals F.Playing with your fingers, like tapping the table, also shows anxiety G.When someone puts up his both hands, he probably gives in to his enemies |

阅读下面文章，在空白处填入1个适当的单词，或括号内单词的正确形式。 There are always some people spreading negativity in the work place. For them, the temperature is never right, the boss is always a fool, the canteen food is awful, and they feel they are treated 【1】 (fair). Career experts say such habitual complainers are highly contagious(会蔓延的), 【2】 attitudes can easily affect an entire team in a company. “While some complaints might be reasonable, 【3】 are taken from thin air (无中生有).” said Li Ming, HR manager at Wal-Mart. It is especially hard to deal with complaints 【4】 work as you can’t just walk away or put your colleagues’ words out of mind. If you do, it will hurt your co-workers and you might be isolated(孤立). In a team-based company you belong to a group and need to behave properly. But don’t show too much sympathy(同情、支持). Listening passively to others’ complaints could damage your image and give others the impression 【5】 you agree with them. “Listen to the whiners (抱怨者) actively,” said HR Li. “Help them find a solution, or see 【6】 there are ways to improve the situation.” Zhai Min, 24, a software engineer at Kingdee International Software Group in Shenzhen, found that three elderly workers liked to complain about everything, 【7】extended working hours to cheap hotels on business trips. “I let them talk about their opinions,” she said, “They feel better when 【8】 (tell) someone how they want things to be.” But listening actively is far from enough. Wang Dianxue, 27, is an Internet engineer at Beijing Push Marcom Group. His co-workers always complain that their computer systems are not working properly. “I ask about the specifics (细节) and work together with them 【9】 (handle) everything technically.” he said. HR managers believe that when staffs complain, it is more a matter of recognition than an actual problem. “The real problem is that the whiners don’t feel they are being taken seriously,” said Xu Jun, HR manager at Guangqi Honda Automobile Co., Ltd. “ 【10】 (give) them advice and the problem will usually disappear.” |
