Here's an area of science for everyone, and these cool new books might inspire you to discover your inner scientist. Scaly Spotted Feathered Frilled by Catherine Thimmesh, 58 pages, ages 9 - 12 Seeing a picture or a model of a dinosaur, do you wonder how anybody knows what they look like? After all, nobody has seen a living dinosaur. This book explains how scientists and artists work together to recreate dinosaurs. As scientific discoveries have been made, the models have changed. Scientific tests may one day expose what a dinosaur's coloring was, but now artists have to use their imagination to determine how these huge creatures looked. Beyond the Solar System by Mary Kay Carson, 128 pages, ages 10 - 13 This book takes readers back to the beginnings of space exploration-thousands of years ago, when people began star observation-and forward to today's search for planets in distant parts of the Milky Way. Along with history lessons, readers get 21 activities, such as making a black hole and creating a model of Albert Einstein's universe using a T-shirt. The activities are perfect for cold winter days. Ultimate Bugopedia by Darlyne Murawski and Nancy Honovich, 272 pages, ages 7 and older If you're always on the lookout for butterflies, this book is for you. Hundreds of color photos of common and unusual insects fill this hardcover. There are fascinating stories related to the photos. For example, do you know an insect feeds on the tears of Asian cattle? There's a question-and-answer section with an insect scientist and advice on how to help preserve endangered insects. Journey Into the InvisibLe by Christine Schlitt, 80 pages, ages 9 - 12 If you use a magnifying glass, you know a leaf looks quite different. This book explains what microscopes do and then shows what happens to things around the house when watched with this amazing scientific tool. The bacteria in your mouth, when magnified 20 000 times, look a bit like swimming pool noodles. Fascinating photos are paired with suggestions about how to learn about the world around you, just by looking a little closer. 1.

As the humming of the boat's powerful engines drew closer. Jack bent down. Jack then let out a frightened cry as the brilliant beam of a searchlight broke the darkness and swept the fishing boat from head to tail. By its reflected light, Jack could clearly see the similar looks on the faces of other bent ones. Jack knew that if the patrol boat came close enough, its men would surely see the people hidden in the fishing boat. To collect himself, he leaned his head a little so that he could see Derek standing in the hcad of the boat, holding the tiller(舵柄). Derek managed to wave back at the patrol boat as if he had not a care in the world. How imperturbable he was! Someone on board the patrol boat switched on a loud speaker and a voice, made harsh and thin by its horn, demanded, "Where are you bound?" Derek shrugged and shouted back, "Tell me where the fish run and I'll tell you where I am bound." The noise of idling engines drowned his voice. "Say againl" barked the speaker. "Anvwhere where there's fish!" Derek shouted back. There was a pause. The boats drifted closer to each other. "Why aren't you showing navigation lights?" Jack watched as Derek pretended to look puzzled and leant out ovcr the side as if to see whether what they said were true."They must have blown out," he apologized with a shrug. "I'll light them again as soon as you stop rocking me about like this." Aboard the patrol boat, the captain was wondering if it would be worthwhile searching this old fishing boat for stowaways(偷渡者) and how many breathing souls such a shabby boat could hide. The radio suddenly cackled. Abruptly, without another word being exchanged, the light went out and the patrol boat started its engines, speeding off into the dark, Ieaving the fishing boat floating about in the water. 4. Jack let out a scared cry because he ________. A. saw something in the sea B. was afraid of being discovered C. was blinded by the bright lights D. was scared hy the faces of companions 5.

D. Derek didn't realize that Jack and others were hiding in the fishing boat. C The group of Americans horn hetween the years 1981 and 1997 have becn called a lot of names: Millennials, Generation Y, the Laziest Generation, etc. But according to a new survey from the investmcnt company T. Rowe Price, a more appropriate term might actually be "the Money-Conscious Generation". Currently, l9-to 35year-olds set are not only better about tracking their spending and sticking to a budget than Baby Boomers (Americans born between 1946 and 1964), but more of them have increased their savings in the past vears, too. A new study from T. Rowe Price analyzed the spending and saving habits of more than 3000 working adults over the age of 18. Specifically, 75% of Millennials told T. Rowe that they track their expenses carefully, compared to 64% of Baby Boomers. And 40% of Millennials have increased their 401 (k) contributlons(401 养老金计划) in the past twelve months, nearlv double the 21% of Boomers who did the same. "When Millennials have the means to do the right thing, it appears that they often do," Anne Coveney, a senior manager at T. Rowe Price, said in a statement accompanying the survey results. "They are managing their spending and are going against the stereotype (刻板印象) that this generation wastes money and is full of shortsighted thinking, " she added. Other findings from the T. Rowe study further show the idea of the financially-conscious Millennial: 88% of Generation Y people asked said they are pretty good at living within their means, and 67% told T. Rowe they save "by any means necessary". Seventy-four percent said they are more comfortable saving money rather than spending it. That Millennials prioritize saving over spending is not entirely surprising: many were financially hurt by the Great Recession (大萧条), especially after graduating into an environment with a 16% -plus unemployment rate and little wage growth. Over the past several years, Millennials have drawn comparisons to the post-Depression(萧条) generation in the way that they stay out of the stock market and hold on to cash. "They think like people from the Depression period largely because they experienced market problems and job securitv issues very early in their careers, or watched their parents experience them， and it has had a significant impact on their attitudes and behaviors."Emily Pachuta of UBS said in an interview last year. 8. Which of the following names seems to reflect the truth about Americans born between 1981 and 1997 according to the survey? A. The Laziest Generation. B. The Creative Generation. C. The Money -Conscious Generation. D. The Self -Centered Generation. 9. What percentage of Millennials track their expenses carefully? A. 88%. B. 75%. C. 67%. D. 64%. 10. What is the stereotype about Millennials according to the article? A. They tend to waste money. B. They stay out of the stock market. C. They prioritize saving ovcr spending. D. They often increase their 401(k) contributions. 11. What are the reasons behind Millennials saving money? a. They are financially insecure. b. It's more difficult for them to find a job. c. They often have the means to do the right thing. d. They have learned to do it from their parents' difficult situations. A. a,b,e B. b,c,d C. a,c,d D. a,b,d D We have a prohlem, and the strange thing is that we not only know about it, but also celebrate it. Just today, someone boasted to me that she was so busy she's averaged four hours of sleep a night for the last two weeks. She wasn't complaining; she was proud of the fact. She is not alone. Why are typically rational people so irrational in their behavior? The answer is that we're in the midst of a bubble. I call it "The More Bubble". The nature of bubbles is that something is absurdly overvalued until--eventually--the bubble bursts, and we're left wondering why we were so irrationally animated in the first place. The thing we're overvaluing now is the opinion of doing it all, having it all, achieving it all. This bubble is being enabled by a combination of three powerful trends: smart phones, social media, and extreme consumerism. The result is not just information overload, but opinion overload. We are more aware than at any time in history of what everyone else is doing and, therefore, what we should be doing. In the process, we have been sold a bill of goods: that success means being supermen and superwomen who can get it all done. Of course, we boasted about being busy --it's code for being successful and important. And our answer to the problem of more is always more. We need more technology to help us create more technologies. We need to shift our workload to free up our own time to do yet even more. Luckily, there is a solution to the pursuit of more: the pursuit of less, but better. A growing number of people are making this change. I call these people Essentialists. These people are designing their lives around what is essential and removing everything else. These people arrange to have actual weekends (during which they are not working). They create technology-free zones in their homes. They trade time on Facebook with calling those few friends who really matter to them. Instead of running to different meetings, they put space on their calendars to get important work done. So we have two choices: We can be among the last people caught up in "The More Bubble", or we can join the growing community of Essentialists and get more of what matters in our onc precious life. 12. When the woman said for two weeks she only slept for four hours a night, ________. A. she was unsatisfied with her lifestyle B. she was asking for suggestions C. she took pride in doing so D. she knew few people were like her 13. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The cause and result of "The More Bubble". B. The advantages of "The More Bubble". C. The solutions to "The More Bubble". D. The new trends of "The More Bubblen". 14. According to the article, Essentialists are those who ________. A. give up certain things for what matters in life B. prefer to change frequently C. are tired of information and opinion D. are cager to become successful and important 15. We can infer from the article that the author ________ "The More Bubble". A. is supportive of B. is undecided about C. disapproves of D. wonders about 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。 Should We Get Rid of Cash? When it comes to money, many people still think of the paper bill in their wallets. For years, cash (or paper currency) has played an important role in our daily activity. 16 The idea first came up when he read a statistic report about currency distribution released by the US Trcasury, the department in control of the central bank. 17 On the other hand, border states like Florida and California, which were heavily involved in drug trafficking(贩毒), see an ever increasing need for large biils. Rogoff argues that most big bills in circulation were being used for one of two purposes. Profit-motivated crimes such as illegal gambling, drugs, prostitution, loan sharking, the fencing of stoien merchandise take up a major part. Tax evasion(逃税) by people who arrange to receive cash income and don't report it also contribute to its popularity. 18 However, the total amount of cash issued by government is still booming. The government don't know where it goes. 19 But they are happy to know that it's popular, because they make moncy by making money about $70 billion a year. It is unlikely that they can enjoy such benefit though. If taken into account the human cost, the enforcement cost, the tax loss, these visible profits will beeasily offset. 20 Here's a typical opinion: "The day we go cashless, the government will be able to track your every move. This is nothing more than a call for dictatorship. " A. He strongly urged the government to do something about it. B. They don't know who's using it. C. There are other people who see cash very differently. D. The problem is that it also aids crime. E. But Harvard professor Ken Rogoff is now appealing to the government to put it into extinction. F. He noticed that some regions, like the Midwest, had almost no demand for the $ 100 bills. G. But its popularity is slowly decreasing as we have more ways to pay, according to Harvard professor Ken Rogoff. 第二部分 英语知识运用（共两节,满分45分) 第一节 完形填空（共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 There are two factors which determine an individual's intelligence.
