No matter if theyre a good kid or a trouble maker or anything, they always thought they were in trouble,” she says.McSparin says she got the idea for the project after attending a professional development workshop this summer called the power of positivity.“I like the idea of letting students know they are appreciated, because we do appreciate them, I just dont think we say it enough,” she told local news outlet WDAF-TV.Its safe to say the challenge was effective.“I feel special,” said one of the boys in the video. “You should,” said his teacher. “You are special.”21. How did the students probably feel when pulled out of the classroom at first?A. Curious. B. Thrilled.C. Nervous.D. Encouraged.22. What inspired McSparin to challenge the project?A. The trouble caused by students.B. The need of shooting the video.C. A program related to students interactions . D. A seminar named the power of positivity.23. What message does this text mainly convey?A. Challenge is unavoidable in life.B. Everyone needs to be appreciated.C. Positivity outweighs negativity.D. News media contribute to students progress.BSoon enough, we will lose some of the most amazing sites on Earth!The Great Barrier Reef-Rising air temperatures will cause sea temperatures to rise as well. All life supported by the oceans will be affected with this shock to their ecosystem. Coral are some of the most vulnerable marine animals and we are already watching whole reefs disappear. The Great Barrier Reef in Australia is no exception and will continue to shrink as the temperatures rise! These reefs are some of the best in the world for diving, but they will soon disappear!Venice-Sprawing across hundreds of small islands in Northeast Italy, Venice is at extreme risk of sinking into the Adriatic Sea. Rising sea levels are in fact a serious threat to many coastal cities located at sea level. Lucky for us, however, Venice is developing a series of sea walls to protect the city in times of high tide.Glacier National Park-Glacier National Park was once covered by over 150 glaciers, but by 2010 it only had about 25! Located in Montana, Canada, this park is over a million acres and has a huge plant and wildlife population. As temperatures rise, the glaciers and ice melt, which will upset the ecosystems sustaining over a thousand plant species and hundreds of animals.The Amazon-The cause behind the disappearance of these fantastic places ultimately comes down to humans. Our expansion usually requires cutting down forests for land, fuel and materials, but rarely considers the consequences. These forests are sources of food and medicine for just about everyone on the planet!What will happen if we lose these valuable places and beautiful destinations?24. According to the text, what is causing corals death?A. Humans diving activitiesB. Rising sea levelsC. The shrinkage(缩小)of their habitatsD. Rising sea temperatures25. What can we learn about Glacier National Park from the text?A. It covers a large area in Montana. B. It is covered by over 150 glaciers.C. Plant species and animals in it have died out.D. It doesnt support any living thing for its cold.26. What can we infer from the part of “Venice”?A. Italy consists of hundreds of small islands in the Adriatic Sea.B. Venice is the only coastal city of Italy. C. Many places are in the risk of sinking below the sea level.D. Venice will never sink because of the protection of sea walls.27. Which sites shrinking reason differs from the other sites?A. The Great Barrier Reef B. VeniceC. Glacier National Park D. The AmazonCCan you figure out someone's name just by looking at him or her?The answer may not be a definite"yes", but a study by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem，Israel，found that you would at least have a clue, since people with certain names tend to share similar facial appearances.For example, if someone is named Bob，he's likely to have a round and joyful face，while someone named Tim tends to have a narrower face and a more serious lookPeople have long been associating names with certain cultural expectations，which may be responsible for the study's resultsFor example，a woman named Katherine is usually considered to be more reliable than a girl named BonniePrevious studies also found that people with traditionally African-American names such as DeShawn and Jamal are more likely to be seen as dangerous and violent by their teachers and are less likely to be hired in jobsThese stereotypes（固定模式）have become so widespread that they've even affected how people look at themselvesIn fact，people tend to subconsciously（下意识地）change their own personalities to fit into these stereotypes-Katherines may try hard to be trustworthy and Bonnies may care less about the mistakes they make"“We develop the personality that other people expect us to exhibit，” said the lead researcher Yonat Zwebner，according to The TelegraphIn other words，it's not that names change people，but people try to live up to their namesAnd our faces may even change over time，based on these stereotypes"Usually，we think that faces are very fixed but now we show that they're not,” the study's co-author Ruth Mayo told UK's iNewsAccording to Mayo, the use of different facial expressions can allow people to develop different looks"If you smile a lot，you have different wrinkles around your eyes and your mouth from if you frown（皱眉）a lot，"she said28Why did the author use the names Bob and Tim as an example？ A.To prove the influence of names on our emotions B.To present the cultural expectations of certain names C. To explain the possible connections between names and looks. D. To show the correct method of guessing someone's name29Which of the following would Yonat Zwebner probably agree with？ A.People's faces become fixed as they grow into adults B.The way people are looked at changes their personalities C.People could change their personalities by using different names D.People should focus on sound and meaning when choosing names30. Which of the following is considered a cultural stereotype by the author?A.A boy named Tim tends to be cautious.B. A boy named Jamal tends to be trustworthy.C. A boy named DeShawn appears dangerous.D.A girl named Bonnie is likely to be seen as joyful.31What might be the best title for the passage？ A.  Appearance can carry culture         B.Name can change people C.Appearance may affect jobsD. Name may make looks     DHumans make mistakes. Even surgeons with years of experience are not infallible. But what if these doctors could pool their knowledge and experience together and create a surgical standard of care, to be carried out by machines?That's the idea behind surgical robots, which may soon perform most surgeries, from sewing up tiny wounds to performing heart procedures. Many of these operations are, in fact, already completed with the assistance of robots. But a recent test suggests that robots in the operating room may soon go a step further, performing on soft tissue completely on their own, from start to finish.The Smart Tissue Autonomous Robot（STAR）, successfully completed surgeries on pigs. "We're the first group to develop autonomous robotic surgery with soft-tissue surgery, and when compared to standard operation, it's better, "says Peter Kim, professor of surgery. "The idea is not to replace surgeons；it will make the surgeons better and make the procedures safer. "A recent Mayo Clinic study found that major surgical errors-including operating on the wrong site or side of the body, or even leaving tools or objects inside the patient-occur every one out of 22, 000 procedures. That's rare, but robots like STAR would aim to lower the number even further.In the da Vinci surgical system, surgeons place their arms inside instruments and use their hands to control the movement of robotic tools on the operating table from afar. The robot's every major move is controlled by surgeons, and thus its results may vary based on the surgeon's training or experience.STAR, on the other hand, is entirely autonomous. It's not only able to work on its own and perform surgeries with a more flexible "hand", but it's able to react to the unexpected incidents. Cutting into hard tissue like bones is one thing, but operating on moving soft tissue is far more complex. STAR reacts to a changing environment, similar to how self-driving cars are programmed to not only drive on the highway, but also react to another driver making a mistake and getting in your way.32. The underlined word "infallible" in Paragraph 1probably means _ .A. quite smart B. really creative C. rather responsible D. always right33. We can learn from the passage that STAR _ .A. can perform the operation on its ownB. has been widely used in the operating roomC. can make surgeries much fasterD. will take the place of surgeons34. In the da Vinci surgical system, _ .A. robots are trained from afar B. robots always make mistakesC. surgery results depend on surgeonsD. surgeons have trouble controlling robots35. In the last paragraph, the author mentions self-driving cars in order to show _ .A. how smart an autonomous robot can beB. how difficult self-driving on the highway isC. how bad getting in another driver's way might beD. how dangerous operating on people is.第二节（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors. _36_ .Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream at low prices. 37 , then probably children would buy less take-away food. 38 . I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If parents often give their children fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, they will go for sweet and salty foods, and children will find it hard to get rid of the habit.There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. 39 . What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.The above are the main reasons for this problem. _40_, as well as forcing them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.A. Its a good idea to allow children to eat what they chooseB. There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweightC. Adults are becoming fatter and unhealthier tooD. If there were fewer of these restaurantsE. So we have to encourage young people to be more activeF. Not only is this an unhealthy pa
