There was a farmer in Africa named Hafiz who was happy and content. He was happy because he was content. He was content because he was happy. One day a wise man came to him and told him about the glory of diamonds and the power that goes along them. The wise man says, “If you had a diamond the size of your thumb, you could have your own city. If you had a diamond the size of your fist, you could probably own your own country.” And then he went away. That night the farmer couldn’t sleep. He was unhappy and he was discontent. He was unhappy because he was dis-content and discontent because he was unhappy. The next morning he made arrangements to sell off his farm, took care of his family and went in search of diamonds. He looked all over Africa and couldn’t find any. He looked all through Europe and couldn’t find any. When he got to Spain, he was emotionally, physically and financially broke. He got so disheartened that he threw himself into the Barcelona River and committed suicide. Back home, the person who had bought his farm was watering the camels at a stream that ran through the farm. Across the stream, the rays of the morning sun hit a stone and made it sparkle like a rainbow. He thought it would look good on the mantelpiece (壁炉架). He picked up the stone and put it in the living room. That afternoon the wise man came and saw the stone sparkling. He asked, “Is Hafiz back?” The new owner said, “No, why do you ask?” The wise man said, “Because that is a diamond. I recognize one when I see one.” The man said, “No, that’s just a stone I picked up from the stream. Come，I’ll show you. There are many more.” They went and picked some samples and sent them for analysis. Sure enough, the stones were diamonds. The wise man knew that the farm was indeed covered with acres and acres of diamonds. 4. When the wise man told Hafiz about diamonds, . A.

Organic farming avoids the use of chemical pesticides and man-made fertilizers. Supporters say organic farming is better for the environment than traditional methods. But studies have shown that organic farming generally produces less food per hectare. That lower yield means feeding the world organically would require more land. But good farmland is limited. And scientists say deforestation (砍伐森林)from the clearing of land for agriculture is already a problem for climate change. In a new study, researchers wanted to measure the difference between traditional and organic yields. So they combined the results of sixty-six earlier studies. They found that some organic farms can produce almost as much as traditional farms. But most cannot. Traditional yields are typically higher than organic yields. But with certain management practices, certain environmental conditions, and certain crop species, this yield difference can be quite small. On average, organic farms produced twenty-five percent less compared to traditional farm. But yields of organic fruits and other perennial (多年生长的) crops nearly equaled the yields from traditional ones. However，organic vegetables and cereal crops (谷类作物)like maize (玉米)and wheat had a lot lower yields compared to traditionally grown crops. The soil on organic farms holds water better, and that can reduce the yield difference. Also, organic fanners can improve their yields by making sure their crops get enough fertilizer. The United Nations predicts that world demand for food will grow seventy percent by the middle of the century. John Reganold is a soil scientist at Washington State University. He says no one should remove organic agriculture as part of the solution. Mr.Reganold—who was not part of the study—says farming is increasingly a combination of organic and traditional methods. 8. What can reduce the yield difference between organic and traditional farming? a. certain farmlands b. certain crop species c. certain environmental conditions d. certain management practices A. a, b, c B. a, c, d C. b, c, d D. a, b, d 9. What does the underlined word “yield” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean? A. Nutrition. B. Output. C. Profit. D. Production. 10. What’s John Reganold’s attitude towards avoiding the use of organic farming? A. Negative. B. Positive. C. Supportive. D. Uncertain. 11. The passage is most probably . A. a news report B. an agriculture report C. a science report D. an educational report

I have a problem. I，m trying to grow a beard but I，m not sure if it suits me! This hairy attachment to men’s faces has been very fashionable m the UK for a while. But a new scientific study suggests that the more beards there are in a population, the less attractive they become. If it is true，it would give clean-shaven (不蓄胡子的) men a competitive advantage. We’ve currently reached a peak in beard popularity in the UK and men might soon be reaching for their razors to give themselves a clean-cut look. But beards have gone in and out of fashion over hundreds of years. Think of the famous 19th century British naturalist Charles Darwin who had a big bushy beard. But why have men through the ages grown such defined whiskers (连鬓胡子)？Lucinda Hawksley, writer of Moustaches, Whiskers and Beards thinks that “the most heavily bearded times in Britain are either when women are in power, such as Elizabeth I or Queen Victoria，or when there’s a big discussion of feminism…you get a woman on the throne and men go, ‘Oh, got to have a beard’”. Perhaps that’s true, but I don’t think my attempt to grow a beard a reaction to powerful women—it’s probably just laziness. Of course there are good reasons to cultivate a good beard—special campaigns like “Movember” and “Decembeard” invite men to get hairy for charity in certain months of the year. I’m not a pogonophile—someone who loves beards. And as I’ve only managed to grow some stubble so far, I think I will visit the barber to get my facial hair removed. But now Fm thinking about a moustache instead. What do you think? 12. A new scientific study suggests that . A. wearing beards is associated with occupations B. wearing beards can make people look mature C. wearing beards becomes less and less attractive D. clean-shaven men used to be popular in the UK 13. What’s the purpose of the author mentioning Charles Darwin? A. To show the great advantage of wearing beards. B. To explain the importance of wearing beards. C. To introduce a beard fashion including celebrities. D. To attract readers’ attention to wearing beards. 14. From the 3rd paragraph we can infer that . A. the author wore beards for the purpose of pleasing women B. more men had whiskers at the time of females’ being in power C. Queen Victoria launched special campaigns for wearing beards D. growing defined whiskers was popular with young men in Britain 15. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. British men like wearing beards. B. Beards can reveal your personality. C. The history of wearing beards in the UK. D. Choose the right beard style for yourself.

Do you often feel extremely lonely when you live away from home? Here are some tips for you. Don’t Skip Orientation Week (0-Week). Be involved! 16 Maybe you are a fairly quiet person, and you come to university without knowing anyone. It is a little hard at first, but as long as you participate and keep your spirits up, you should make new friends in no time. Stay Connected. 17 Making new friends and diving into activities and homework is a great way to keep yourself occupied, but in those moments when you are feeling incredibly lonely and wondering what your mom is making for dinner, you need something extra. My recommendation is to have a couple of photo albums to look through. 18 That way you have a piece of home to look forward to. Live in Residence Halls. Get to know people on your floor; let their home become yours. 19 I’ve attended all the events in my residence and school, and I’ve met tons of awesome people. People living on your floor are more likely to understand your problems with school. 20 I met many off-campus people during O-Week and in my classes, and some are now my best friends. Get involved in clubs, talk to people and don’t go home immediately after your classes are done. A. Spend time on campus. B. Get involved with other people. C. Spending time with people you love when you live away from home. D. It is also a good idea to make a plan to have a friend or a family member visit you. E. My residence holds lots of events such as parties for us to meet new people. F. I message and text my sister often and Facebook my friends to keep connected. G. It is by far the most effective way to make friends during the first couple weeks.

Whether it’s a drop of the head, a roll of the eyes or crossing our arms, we can tell others 41 we’re feeling without saying a word. According to Allan Pease, author of Body Language in the Workplace, our ability to 42 (positive) express ourselves can influence our success in life greatly. Having spent much of his career 43 (focus) on the communication skills of adults, Mr. Pease is now turning his attention to educating children on the importance of understanding body language. Mr. Pease 44 (create) a 10-week course aimed to teach children the basics of body language and has been teaching it to a class of seven-year-old students. “Over 10 weeks these juniors have learned how to introduce 45 (they), impress people quickly, use the power of 46 (face) expressions, imitate handshakes, and use positive gestures to avoid negative signals.” he said. Mr. Pease said he was motivated to start the program after seeing the poor communication skills 47 (show) by young people at 48 high school graduation ceremony. “The youth really don’t make good 49 ( impress) and that’s because they aren’t taught how to carry themselves 50 a correct manner.’’ Mr. Pease said.

I didn’t need to change my life; I needed to change the way I 35 it. The next morning I sat down to breakfast and simply 36 in everything around me. My kids were drinking their milk. Sue was making me a cup of coffee. If I lived the day 37 things to appreciate, there was no 38 to what I could see. My diary needs 39 now. I’ve come to appreciate all that I’ve been given and all that I can give to others. It goes back to what I 40 from Day, that choice I make every morning: Let me make today the best day possible. 21.

When you meet a friend on the street, for instance, it is common to say something like “Where are you going?” or “Where have you been?” in the Chinese culture. In western countries，by contrast，even though both are closed friends，it is good manner to avoid such greetings. The same is true of when person sneezes. In that occasion, it is taken for granted which some Chinese nearby say, “Someone misses you.” Whereas in western countries, people usually say, “God bless you.” A guest in a Chinese house, if offering something to drink, usually leave a little to show that he has had enough. And in western countries a guest always finishes up the drink to show that he has been enjoyed it.
