British adventurer(冒险家)Alastair Humphreys had ridden his bike
around the world,walked cross India,and rowed from Africa to
South America.In 2011,however,Humphreys had some of the biggest
adventures of his life and he never even left the United Kingdom.
For a year,Humphreys went on microadventures-small,low-cost
trips close to home.Why did he do this?"I started to think that it was
possible to have an adventure anywhere,"he explains.For his first
18
trip,he went hiking with a friend around the M25-a 188-kilometre
road that goes all the way around London.Other adventures included
swimming in the River Thames,sleeping outside on a hill,and going on
a mountain biking trip.Humphreys learned something important from
his microadventures:We find adventures when we try something new.
Humphreys wanted other people to make this discovery,too,so he
decided to share his idea.He challenged people to go on microadventures
and send him four-minute videos of their trips.He asked them to do
things like climbing a hill,going away for a weekend,or choosing a
random(任意的)place on a map and going there..People from all over
the world accepted his challenge and posted their videos on Twitter.

Today,by carefully choosing dog parents,humans have created
many different kinds of dogs.Each kind has its own look and talents
and its own role within human society.Here are three examples of "a
dog's life"in the human world.
Today,many hospitals let specially trained dogs in to bring love
and cheer to patients.Shaynee is a therapy (dog.She visits
children who are in hospital.Dogs like Shaynee help patients feel calm
and at peace,which can be hard in a busy hospital.They help both
children and adults stay strong during long hospital stays,and,some
suggest,even help them get better.
Today,some beagles(小猎犬)work in airports for the
government.They are part of the program called the Beagle Brigade.A
beagle is good for the work because of its powerful nose,and ability to
follow smells.The Beagle Brigade's job is to smell everything that
comes into the country.They make officers notice illegal(非法的)
fruits,vegetables,and other foods in luggage or in mail.The beagles do
the job far better than any human could.
While some dogs are working hard,others are free to spend their
days resting and playing.Across the world,many pet dogs are treated
like children.Many have their own rooms and all the things a dog could
want.Some even have their own clothes.Many of these pets spend their
days playing,learning to follow or even going to classes.Their owners
give them the best,and enjoy doing so.
Whether as workers or objects of affection(钟情),dogs have
become helpful to humans in many ways.There are plenty of
advantages for the dog,too.Many kinds of wild dogs have nearly
disappeared from the Earth.However,the domestic dog's special place
as“man's best friend”has allowed it to survive(存话)in a human world..
()61.What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?
A.Hospitals need many special dogs.
B.Dogs can take care of patients.
C.Patients need love in the hospital.
D.Doctors are too busy to see patients.
()62.What does the underlined word "domestic"in Paragraph 5
mean?
A.Trained.B.Smart.C.Hungry.D.Valuable.
()63.What's the purpose of the passage?
A.To ask people to treat dogs as their own children.
B.To explain why humans need beagles in their work.
C.To tell people about the history of dogs'development.
D.To show a good relationship between dogs and humans.
()64.Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?
A.
B.①②③④C.
D.①②

Eight hundred years ago,a man in southern Turkiye invented an
amazing clock.It was more than 7 meters high.At its base()was a life-
size model elephant.Every half hour,something amazing happened.The
whole clock came alive:Model birds,dragons,and people started to move.
The clock's inventor was an engineer named al-Jazari.He lived in
Turkiye.Al-Jazari was probably one of the greatest engineers in history.
Some historians call him "the father of modern-day engineering".
We know about al-Jazari mostly from a book that he wrote.
They include clocks and hand-washing machines.The book
also has drawings that show how each machine works.
Many everyday things today-一from toys to car engines(发a动机)
still use al-Jazari's ideas.Without his machines with moving parts,we
might not have modern-day robots.
Today,it is still possible to see what al-Jazari's elephant clock looked
like.A full-size working model is in Dubai's Ibn Battuta Mall.There,every
half hour,al-Jazari's most amazing invention comes to life once again.
How does the elephant clock work?
A bowl with a small hole floats(浮)in a water tank(水箱)inside
the elephant's body.As the bowl slowly sinks(下沉),it pulls a rope
that moves a human figure.His moving pen shows the number of
minutes past the hour.
Every half hour,the water bowl becomes full and sinks
completely.This causes a ball to fall from the top of the clock.The
movement of the ball causes a phoenix to move and make a sound.
The ball then drops out of a falcon's mouth into the mouth of a
Chinese dragon.The weight of the ball causes the dragon's head to
move down,and the dragon's tail pulls the water bowl back up.
Finally,the ball drops out of the dragon's mouth and into a vase.As the
ball lands in the vase,the elephant driver moves and makes a sound.The
cycle begins again until there are no more balls in the top of the clock.
()65.Why is al-Jazari called "the father of modern-day engineering"?
A.His ideas are still widely used in machines.
B.The elephant clock is an amazing invention.
C.His inventions include some parts of modern robots.
D.His book about machines is still popular with readers.
()66.Choose the best sentence to fill in the blank

A.He became famous when he was a young man.
B.He invented a lot of everyday machines in history.
C.It describes a number of machines of all shapes and sizes
D.People in Turkiye enjoy reading his books in their free time.
()67.What does the underlined word "This"in Paragraph 7 refer to?
A.The pen moves.
B.The ball drops.
C.The bowl sinks completely.D.The bowl pulls the rope.

Many scientists once believed that physical similarities between
identical twins are genetic(基因的),while their personalities,
intelligence,and other differences between them are an effect of their
environment.Now scientists are discovering that the boundaries()
between genes and environment are not so clear.
Twins Jim Springer and Jim Lewis were adopted()as babies
and raised by different couples.When the Jims finally met at age 39,
they discovered they had plenty in common.Both were six feet tall,180
pounds.They had the same smile and the same voice.When scientist
Thomas Bouchard Jr.invited the Jim twins to his lab,people there
found it very hard to tell them apart.
But the similarities didn't stop at the physical.They'd both had dogs
named Toy.They had both married women named Linda,and then their
marriage broke up.They'd both been policemen,enjoyed music,and left love
notes around the house for their wives.They had so much in common;it
seemed unlikely these were just coincidences().
The Jim twins were just one of 137 sets of separated twins Bouchard
tested.When they compared the twins'IQ scores,Bouchard and his team
reached a surprising conclusion().They concluded that intelligence was
mostly connected to genes rather than to training or education.It seemed the
differences in family and environment had little effect.
However,genes can't control everything,argues geneticist Danielle
Reed,who also studies twins.Reed's research shows that though
nothing can truly change our DNA,environmental differences that a
child experiences before birth and in their first year can sometimes
affect the way the DNA behaves,making even identical twins into very
different people."What I like to say is that Mother Nature writes some
things in pencil and some things in pen,"she explains."Things written
in pen you can't change.That's DNA.But things written in pencil you can.
()69.How many physical similarities between the Jim twins are
mentioned?
A.2.
B.3.
C.4.
D.5.
()70.What did Bouchard's study find about the twins?
A.Each seemed to be as tall as their twin.
B.Each had the same hobby as their twin.
C.Each had almost the same ability as their twin.
D.Each had about the same IQ level as their twin.
()71.What is Reed's opinion about genes and environment?
A.Only DNA has an effect on our development.
B.Environment could possibly change some things about us.
C.There are no boundaries between genes and environment.
D.Environmental differences can sometimes change our DNA.
()72.What is the passage mainly about?
A.The way the DNA behaves.
B.The similarities between the Jim twins.
C.The connection between intelligence and families.
D.The effects of genes on personality and intelligence.

The value of negative results
We all avoid failure(失败),and most of us fear it.However,without
failure,progress would be impossible.What does success usually come after?
Failure.It seems that one cannot exist()without the other.
Accepting failure is not easy for many,though.We are often
unwilling to accept failure because our professional fame depends on
success.73 In the past ten years,for example,some scientific
magazines have published reports of failed tests.It is believed that
scientists can learn from "negative"results and that this can finally lead
to positive results.
74 The ABN AMRO bank started an Institute (of
Brilliant Failures to learn more about what works and what doesn't in
banking.Similarly,Eli Lilly and Company had failure parties to study
the drugs(药物)that don't work.
In fact,one of the business world's most famous failures became
one of its biggest successes,in part because the product's makers
learned from their mistakes.75 The product,though unique(
at the time,was expensive and heavy;besides,some of its most
important features()didn't work properly.As a result,it became
one of Apple's biggest failures,and in 1998,the company stopped
selling it.However,Apple's CEO,Steve Jobs,believed in the product
and he began to find out ways of improving it.In time,this led to the
production of the iPhone and the iPad,two of the company's most
successful products.
76 Not only should we try to learn from it;if we want to
succeed,we must also be persistent(执着的).Though Apple stopped
selling the Newton in 1998,the first iPhone wasn't available until 2007.
It took a lot of research and hard work to go from the Apple Newton to
iPhone,but in the end,the effort became successful.
All in all,there is a lot we can learn by studying mistakes.Perhaps
the most important lesson is that failure and success are two sides of
the same coin.77
A.One truly cannot exist without the other.
B.We are brave enough to face difficulties.
C.The business world already understands the value of negative results.
D.In the early 1990s,Apple created a phone called the Apple Newton.
E.However,things are slowly changing,especially in business and
science.
F.The Apple Newton has won popularity with people all over the
world.
G.The story of the Apple Newton can teach us an important lesson
about failure.
