Armed with unusual intelligence and drive, he soon became interested in many subjects, particularly mathematics and physics.While at the University of Pisa, Galilei was exposed to the Aristotelian view of the world, the only one approved by the Roman Catholic Church at that time. At first, Galilei also supported this view, like any other person of his time. In 1589, Galilei was appointed to the chair of mathematics at the University of Pisa. And he made his famous experiments with falling objects there. Then Galilei began to write about his discovery of the falling objects, which was against the Aristotelian theory. For that reason he lost his job at the University of Pisa in 1592．But Galilei continued his scientific study.In July 1609, Galilei learned about a simple telescope（望远镜） made by Dutch eyeglass makers and soon developed one of his own. In August, he showed it to some Venetian businessmen who saw its usefulness in sailing and spotting ships. They gave Galilei a salary and asked him to make several telescopes for them.Galilei’s ambition pushed him to go further. In the fall of 1609, he turned his telescope towards space. Using his telescope to explore the universe, Galilei observed the Moon and proved the planet Venus moved around the Sun, which was against the Aristotelian theory that the Earth was the centre of the universe. In January 1610, he discovered four moon s moving around Jupiter. He also found that the telescope showed much more stars than the naked eye（肉眼） could see. These discoveries were startling, and Galilei quickly produced Sidereus Nuncius, in which he described these amazing discoveries.Galilei’s great contributions to our understanding of the universe include not only his discoveries, but also the methods he developed and the use of mathematics to prove them.4．Which subject was Galilei most interested in while he was at university?A．Medicine B．Physics C．Chemistry D．Philosophy5．Why did Galilei lose his job at the University of Pisa?A．His teaching method failed to attract his students.B．His relationship with other professors wasn’t good.C．His scientific discovery wasn’t supported by some people.D．His potential related to science wasn’t fully developed then.6．What does the underlined word “startling” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A．Surprising. B．Unwelcome. C．Terrible. D．Encouraging.7．Which of the following words can be used to describe Galilei?A．Enthusiastic B．Determined C．Courageous D．All the aboveTelling jokes requires intelligence, creativity, imagination and the ability to tell a story, while listening to jokes is more passive behaviour but one that demands attention, intelligence and being in the right mood in order to enjoy jokes. Besides, there are also clear similarities between joke tellers and appreciators. A new study takes this further and tries to find other connections between creating humour and appreciating humour. The author carried ô n the cartoon caption（字幕） task. 159 participants. were shown more than 30cartoons without captions and were asked to come up with a funny caption for each one of them. Later, independent judges classified those captions based on how funny they were.The results showed that those who produced the funniest captions also produced more captions overall. What was more interesting was that creating funny captions was negatively related to appreciation of humour. In other words, funny people tend to find jokes less funny than other people do. It is not clear why this is the case, but it might be because creators of great humour have higher standards of humour creativity and expect higher levels of creativity from people who tell jokes, compared to those who are not so good at creating humour.Moreover, outgoing people and those who are open to new experiences found the cartoons funnier, but surprisingly, outgoing people are less likely to be funny. This is consistent with my own research that comedians were more introverted than the general population. They usually don’t like to express themselves in social situations.Appreciation and production of humour are two different cognitive（认知的） tasks, each with unique characteristics. This is why when someone tells you he or she has a great sense of humour, you may ask, “Are you good at telling jokes or do you tend to laugh more?”8．What qualities do joke tellers and appreciators have in common?A．attention B．creativity C．imagination D．intelligence9．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A．The results of the study. B．The process of the study.C．The judgement of the study. D．The importance of the study10．According to the text, outgoing people ______.A．are good at appreciating humourB．are more likely to be comediansC．are more likely to be funnyD. are unwilling to express themselves in social situations11．What does the underlined word “introverted” in Paragraph 4 mean?A．Being very successful. B．Being easy to talk to.C．Being quiet and shy. D．Being kind to others.A British architecture company has shown that it plans to build a luxury（奢华的） floating island resort made of recycled ocean plastic at a remote location in the Indian Ocean.Margot Krasojević, the founder of Margot Krasojević Architecture, said that the 75-room hotel concept has funding to be built, but she did not say the source of funding. The hotel will be built on top of a “floating island” situated in Australia’s Cocos archipelago- a chain of islands situated 2,750 kilometers northwest of Perth, Western Australia.Inspired by the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, the “Trash Island” under the resort will be woven（编织）from large plastic-filled bags and then fixed on the ocean floor. The bags will be weighed down with silt（淤泥） and sand to ensure the structural stability. Artificial “roots” designed to copy a tree with roots above the ground, will be placed around the structure to collect sediment（沉淀物） and act as a flood defense by water absorption and expansion when needed. The special structures will act like the island’s “life jacket” in an emergency, as they expand the trapped sediment and create artificial engineering land almost like an inflatable（充气的） runway. Guests of the hotel will shower in sea water that was specially treated. Krasojević said the plans were at an early stage and could take several years to build.“The inspiration. came to me when’ I saw the Pacific Ocean’s-fleet of plastic. This area is twice the size of France, because of the influence of ocean currents,” she said. “Plastic is malleable（有延展性的） and flexible, so it can be reprinted, reformed or broken down and rebuilt. I think it is a better choice than dumping garbage in’ landfills. It helps to raise the awareness of marine -waste, so it’s a good thing to do.”12．Where will the 75-room hotel will be built?A．the Pacific Ocean B．On Australia’s Cocos archipelagoC．In Perth D．On the Great Pacific Garbage Patch13．Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3?A．Funding has been introduced to build the resort.B．People will use large bags full of silt and sand to ensure the structural stability.C．Trees will be placed around the structure to act as a flood defense.D．Guests of the hotel will shower in sea water.14．What does the passage mainly talk about? A．The reasons for building a floating ocean resort.B．Suggestions on where to build a floating ocean resort.C．The future of a floating ocean resort.D．The time to build a floating ocean resort.15．Where does the text most probably come from?A．A health magazine B．A history bookC．A travel guide of a city D．A newspaper二、七选五16．The bee population is dropping sharply. In some areas, losses of honeybees are reported to be as high as 75 percent. ①_________ Bees are primary pollinators（授粉者） in both the human and animal food chains.Few of us are research scientists and able to spare some lab time to help bees, but there are things we can all do to help bees.②_________ , Bees are all about pollen（花粉）.

All the students, including me, were excited at the opportunity to study abroad. On our second day in Barcelona, we, together with our teacher, went to see the sights there. We hadn’t had a chance to stop by any banks to take out cash, but we had our bank cards, which, according to our American way of thinking, would naturally be accepted anywhere.After visiting some sights there, our teacher led the tired group through the subway and to the Sagrada Familia, a well-known church with a long history. She let each of us decide whether we wanted to visit the church or return to the hotel after our long day traveling around the city. Many of the students headed for the subway and returned to the hotel. Two of my friends and I chose to wander about the plaza（广场）, but soon my friends wanted to return to the hotel. I was confident in my abilities and had a subway ticket, so I felt comfortable without them. I got in line to enter the church which I had dreamed of visiting for long.When I reached the entrance of the church, the staff of the church asked me for the 10-euroadmission price. I confidently handed over my bank card, but they didn’t accept the bank card, asking for cash only. I was shocked and then upset. At that time, I only had three euros on hand. And I couldn’t ask my teacher or classmates for help since the entire group had left. What was worse, I couldn’t speak Spanish and asking for help from others might not work. I was so discouraged since our group were leaving the next day for Madrid, and I wasn’t going to get the opportunity to see the church again. Aimlessly, I went across the street and passed by a small courtyard（庭院） with a food and drink truck, and tables set out.注意：1．续写的词数应为150左右。2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。Suddenly, I heard English being spoken. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Surprisingly, one smiling woman at the table handed me a 20-euro bill. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________参考答案1．答案：B解析：细节理解题。根据第二段“Camp in one of many green campsites around Pembrokeshire, where children can have fun learning about sustainable living.

Actually, I just wanted to take a chance and was not sure at all whether they would lend me the money because I was a complete stranger to them.Paragraph 2:Surprisingly, one smiling woman at the table handed me a 20-euro bill. “Go and buy me a cup of coffee please, and you can keep the change,” she offered.
