B.Put out. C.Take in. D.Give in. ()45.Where could you read this text? A.A chemistry textbook. B.A science magazine. C.A bedtime storybook. D.A social study report. B Imagine this:one person tells a lie confidently,while another says something true in a hesifanz voice.Which person would you trust? According to British scientist Dean Burnett,humans are far more likely to believe information delivered()confidently by a confident person or in some other ways using confident language. "Humans trusting confident people over those who are more uncertain is an established phenomenon(己知现象)，"wrote Burnett for Science Focus magazine.“When two people are trying to make a decision but each person says different things,confidently expressed arguments are seen as delivering better information,which decides the decision." Why is this the case?As Bumett said,humans are social animals.In our ancient past,most of our information about the world came from our tribe(),in other words,the people around us. So,if ancient humans heard someone confidently saying:"There's a tiger coming,"believing what that person said could save our lives. On a more personal level,we use our own experiences to understand what other people do and say.That's how our brain works.When we are confident,it's for good reason.Therefore,we believe that when someone else is being confident,they must have good reason,too. However,we need to realize that confidently delivered information may be more persuasive( 说服力的)，but that doesn't mean it's correct.As Burnett wrote,we are living in a more and more complex world.Trusting very confident people without checking the facts can lead to "undesirable outcomes" )46.What might be the meaning of the underlined word "tesitan?? A.好奇的 B.厌烦的 C.犹豫的 D.洪亮的 )47.Which one best shows the relationship between confidence and trust according to the text? Trust Confidence Confidence Trust Confidence C. D. Confidence ）48.What is the function(功能)of paragraph3? A.To explain the reason behind this idea.B.To give an example to support the idea. C.To introduce a new idea about this topic.D.To present a common social phenomenon. )49.Which statement is TRUE according to the article? A.People often use experience to understand others. B.People are confident only when they have reason. C.Humans in the past often lived alone in the wild. D.Few people trust those who speak with confidence. 50.What is Burnett's attitude towards confidently delivered information? A.Positive. B.Negative. C.Uninterested. D.Critical. c In the early 1400s,a Chinese translator named Ma Huan sailed to a place that seemed almost like a dream.He was traveling with Zheng He,whose giant ships had reached Hormuz(霍尔木a兹).Ma Huan had a habit:he wrote down everything.When he retumed home,he turned his notes into a book. For centuries,people read his words and wondered:Could any of this be true? A Land of Wonders Hormuz,Ma Huan wrote,was like nothing he had ever seen.Near the city stood a mountain with five different colors-red,yellow,white,and more.The soil itself seemed to shine.Even stranger,the local people made plates and bowls out of a special stone.When they served food on these plates,the food became salty.No need for salt shakers! Ma Huan also saw women cover their faces with silk when they went out and businessmen from many countries trading in busy markets.What's more,he noticed the kindness of the people.If someone fell on hard times,others would step in to help. A Mystery for Centuries For hundreds of years,historians didn't know what to make of Ma Huan's stories.A mountain with five colors?Plates that salted food?It sounded more like fairy tales than real history. Then,in recent years,scientists took a closer look at Hormuz Island.What they found was surprising.The island really does have colorful mountains.The rocks are full of different minerals(g旷物质)，creating red,yellow,and white lines. And the "salt plates"?They were real too.The local stone is actually rock salt.People in the region had cut it into bowls and plates for centuries.Ma Huan had been telling the truth all along. Why He Matters Today Today,Ma Huan's book helps us see the past in a new way.He didn't just write about kings and battles.He wrote about how ordinary people lived-what they ate,what they wore,how they treated each other.His story reminds us that sometimes the most important person on a voyage() isn't the captain.It's the quiet one with a notebook,paying attention to the small things that make a place special. ()51.Which of the following best describes the people of Hormuz according to Ma Huan? A.Rich but selfish.B.Shy but honest. C.Kind and helpful.D.Strange and scary. ()52.Why did historians doubt Ma Huan's stories for so long? A.His book was lost and not found for years.B.Other travelers showed different ideas. C.He couldn't speak the local language well.D.His descriptions sounded unbelievable. ()53.What does the underlined word"i'refer to in the passage? A.Salt plates. B.Rock salt. C.Region. D.Ma Huan. ()54.In the last paragraph,the writer mentions"the quiet one with a notebook"to show A.Taking notes is not an easy job to do well. B.Captains are not as important as translators. C.Records from ordinary people can be valuable. D.Writers can express ideas more strongly than soldiers. ()55.Which best describes the way the writer develops the passage? A.By telling events in a clear time order. B.By explaining reasons for a final result. C.By comparing two places in different ways. D.By presenting a mystery and proving the truth. D When you say nice things about people,you're praising them. Praise makes them feel happy and confident.It shows you notice their efforts and care about them. The easiest way to praise is to say "Good job!"or "Well done!"56.For example,"Your drawing is beautiful because the colors are bright and cheerful."This tells the person exactly what they did well. 57. .If you see someone giving a great speech,tell him he did well.Smile at him and give him a high-five.Then you can ask him to help others :vith his speaking skills.This shows you trust him and gives him a chance to shine again. Don't forget to praise different people in your class.58. It's easy to praise the top student or the person who always speaks up.But quiet students or those who try their best also need praise.59. Praise is important because it makes a team work together.It's our job in a team to help others improve.60. At school or at home,kind words can make people feel good and build a happy team. A.You can also praise with actions. B.Even a small effort should be noticed. C.But it is better to say why you think so. D.Working together helps everyone become better. E.You should praise people loudly in public places. F.People usually focus on the best or the most outgoing. 第二部分（非选择题） 第二节根据短文内容及要求完成各题（每小题1分，满分5分） With just a boat,a paddle and a bit of water,you can experience fun and excrcise in a kayak. Kayaking is a kind of paddling sport,and people often mistake it for canocing but therc arc some differences.Kayakers sit on the tloor of the boat while canoeists sit on a bench.Also,kayak paddles have a wide flat part on either cnd,but canoc paddles have them on only onc end. Within kayaking,thcre are a few styles that nccd differcnt levels of skill and fitness.Anyone can enjoy relaxing kayaking,most often paddling on a lake or perhaps a gentle river.Whitewater kayaking is much morc exciting because boats travel down kayuking fast rivers and even small waterfalls.Surf kayakers must be both strong-willed and talented as they ride waves on the open ocean. can3cing The difficulty involved with kayaking is transportation-a boat several meters long is not exactly easy to carry around.However.a man who had to lcave his kayak behind when moving to a smaller apartment borrowed the idea of Japanese paper folding,and made a new type of special kayak--it can be folded into a very thin pack.allowing the kayak to casily fit in a car.In this way. the problem was perfectly solved. Kayaking can offer sightseeing opportunities and a good way to exercise certain parts of the body.Paddling is helpful for strengthening the upper body and it requires continuing tuming of your main body,giving it some great cxercise.Another advantage is that these movements arc gentler on the body's joinis and tissues than running.Kayaking doesn't just improve the health of the body, though-it also has been shown to make you less stressed as well.With so many benefits,whv not head to the closest water and give it a try? 阅读以上知义回答下列问题： 61 Why is whitcwater kayaking much more exciting? 62.What is special about the new type of kayak? 63.Write down I difference between Kayaking and canoeing. 64.What does"ir in"in Paragraph 4 mcan?Write down its meaning in Chinese. 65.Translate the underliued sentence. 1Y.句型（每小题2分，共10小题，满分20分） A.情景交际 Amy:Hi,Lisa.You look so tired today.66.
