Green is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is also the color of most growing plants.

Sometimes, the word green means young, fresh and growing. Sometimes, it describes something that is not yet ripe（成熟）or finished. For example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience, who is new to a situation. In the fifteenth century, a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns (角) had not yet developed. A century or so later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet any experience in battle. By the eighteenth century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today - a person who is new in a job.

   Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb. The expression comes from the early nineteen hundreds. You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow after your plants have died.

   Green is also the color used to describe the powerful emotion, jealousy（嫉妒）. The green-eyed monster is not a frightening creature from outer space. It is an expression used about four hundred years ago by British writer William Shakespeare in his play “Othello.” It describes the unpleasant feeling a person has when someone else has something he wants. A young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if his girlfriend begins going out with someone else. Or, that green-eyed monster may affect your friend if you get a pay raise and she does not.

In most places in the world, a green light is a signal to move ahead. A green light on a traffic signal means your car can continue on. In everyday speech, a green light means approval（同意）to continue.

27. If you are a new comer to a company, you can be called ____________.

   A. A greenhorn                            B. A green thumb  

C. A green-eyed monster                   D. A green light

28. If a man may suffer from the green-eyed monster, it means he is ____________.

   A. honest          B. jealous               C. new                    D. experienced

29. When you see a green light while you are taking part in a speech competition, it means you ____________.

   A. are ignored         B. have fallen behind      C. can go away          D. get permission

30. According to the text, which word first came into use in the 1700s?

   A. greenhorn.          B. green thumb.                 C. green-eyed monster.  D. green.

One year ago, I had a special English lesson hold at the railway station. It was quite different from the regular English classes we were familiar to, for we had no textbooks, no blackboard or no fixed seats.

Gathering at the entrance of the station, we told to collect as many English words and sentences as possible here. Curious and excited, we walked around the station and looked everywhere, search for any information in English. Whenever an English word comes into sight, the class would burst into the cheers as if we had discovered a new world. With the Chinese translation and vividly pictures, we could figure out its meaning with ease.

Now, this unforgettable lesson still encourages me to be an active learner where I go.

One day, a father and his son were walking with their horse. An old man saw them and said, “You  56  (suppose) to ride a horse, not to walk it!” The father then put his son on the horse. 

Soon they passed a group of people,  57  said, “That’s a lazy boy! He gets to ride the horse while his father walks.” The father decided to take his son off and get on the horse himself.  58  they kept going, they came upon two  59  (passer-by). One said, “You are a  60  (self) man! Your son has to walk while you get to ride!” The man then reached down and put his son on the horse with him.  61  a while, they entered a town. Everyone started to laugh at them,  62  (say), “You are too heavy for that horse!” The father and his son didn’t know what  63  (do).

Finally, they decided to carry the horse. When they came to a bridge, the horse  64  (fall) to the water. “If you try to please  65  ,” the father told his son, “in the end, you will please no one.” Then they went home.

Chinese Emoji(表情符号) Circles the Global

    “Funny”, a made-in-China emoji, seems to have recently moved beyond just China. Now, it is more than an emoji – it is a cultural expansion.

>   Reaching global markets111]

    A series of “funny”emoji-based bolsters(抱枕) have attracted the attention of Japanese customers through Amazon Japan, an online shopping centre.

Even if one bolster is more than three times as expensive as in China – it doesn’t kill their desires to buy it.One Japanese customer Miki said,“They are just so cute and I bought three bolsters at one time for my family. And every time I see them, my mood just brightens suddenly.”

>   Addition to domestic social media

    Compared with Japanese people’s impressions of the “funny” emoji, Chinese netizens prefer to use the emoji to tease one another on social media.

    One commonly seen online comment is: “We strongly suggest stopping the usage of the emoji. Because every time other people send me the emoji, I feel very uncomfortable and consider myself as a fool.”

    Regarded as the most popular emoji, the “funny” emoji has received much attention since its release in 2013.In fact, the “funny” emoji is the updated version of its original one; “funny” has a smiley mouth, two eyebrows and naughty look. All these characteristics present users a sense of irony.

>   In everyday use abroad1111]

    It is not the first time the Chinese emoji takes the world stage. Earlier this year, one emoji from the Chinese basketball celebrity Yao Ming has been spread through the Middle East region. In a city in southern Egypt, Yao’s smiling emoji has emerged frequently in local traffic signs to remind people the road ahead is one-way. Many locals do not know Yao Ming but are familiar with his emoji and nickname “Chinese Funny Face”.

As a new online language, emojis have become an necessary part of people’s daily life, helping people express their views in a more vivid and precise fashion. Also, it can help foreigners learn about Chinese culture But how to properly use “the fifth innovation in China” without hurting others and how to turn them into commercial advantages still need answers.

66.Why do the bolsters attract a Japanese customer named Miki’ attention?

A.They are unreasonably expensive.

B.They help Brighten the mood.

C.They help reach an agreement.

D.They are helpful to express desire.

67.According to the passage, which of the following is the latest “funny” emoji?

D.Tease one another on social media purposely

Robotic surgery is one thing, but sending a robot inside the body to carry out an operation quite another, which has long been a goal of some researchers to produce tiny robotic devices being capable of travelling through the body to deliver drugs or to make repairs without the need for a single cut, the possibility of which has just got a bit closer.

However, unlike the plot of one film—which featured a microscopic crew and submarine traveling through a scientist's bloodstream—this device could not be inserted into blood vessels(管) because it is too big. While other types of miniature swallowable robots have been developed in the past, their role has mostly been limited to capturing images inside the body. In a presentation this week to the International Conference, Daniela Rus and Shuhei Miyashita of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology described a robot they have developed that can be swallowed and used to collect dangerous objects accidentally taken in.

To test their latest version, Dr Rus and Dr Miyashita designed a robot as a battery hunter, which might seem to be an odd task, but more than 3，500 people in America alone, most of them children, swallow the tiny button cells used in small electronic devices by accident every year. To start with, the researchers created an artificial esophagus(食道) and stomach made out of silicone(硅胶). It was closely modeled on that found in a pig and filled with medical liquid; the robot itself is made from several layers of different materials, including pig intestine(肠), and contains a little magnet. This is folded up and encased in a 10mm×27mm capsule of ice. Once this reaches the stomach the ice melts and the robot unfolds which is moved and guided with the use of a magnetic field outside the body. In their tests, the robot was able to touch a button battery and draw it with its own magnet, and during dragging it along, the robot could then be directed towards the intestines where it would eventually be gotten rid of through the anus(肛门). After it, the researchers sent in another robot loaded with medication to deliver it to the site of the battery burn to speed up healing.

The artificial stomach being transparent on one side, the researchers were able to see the batteries and visually control the robots. If not, that will require help with the help from imaging system, which will be a bit more of a challenge, but Dr Rus and Dr Miyashita are determined to succeed.

42. According to the passage, the robot operation will probably be able to ________．

A. travel through a scientist's bloodstream  　B. photograph the body to convey to the doctor

C. enter the body to deliver drugs or make repairs  　D. operate on a person outside the body completely

43. We learn from Paragraph 3 that ________．

A. the researchers did the experiment on a chosen animal

B. the robot took necessary drugs besides a little magnet

C. digesting the swallowed batteries is difficult for children

D. the actual size of the robot may be larger than the capsule of ice

44. What may the experiment mean to the medical world?

A. The surgeries will cost patients much money.   B. Patients will suffer less for some surgeries.

C. Fewer children will swallow the button cells.   　D. A robot will be invented travelling blood vessels.

45. Which can be the most suitable title for the passage?

A. An Experiment on Robot  B. Tiny Robot, Significant Role

C. The Fantastic Robotic Voyage  D. The Exploration of Robot Technology

The American expression "shoo-in" means someone or something that seems sure to win a race or competition. 

Before a big football game, supporters of each are certain to argue (争论) about which side will win. Sometimes, however, one team appears so much stronger than the others that everyone agrees it will win. The stronger team is a shoo-in. there is no way that it can lose. 

    The expression "shoo-in" comes from horse racing. It comes from the word "shoo". That is not the shoe we wear on our feet. It's another word, S-H-O-O. To shoo is an expression hundreds of years old that means to force an animal to move in a desired direction. 

    Many years ago dishonest riders sometimes agreed secretly to control their horses so that one chosen horse would win the race. All but one of the riders would hold back their horses. The chosen rider would shoo his horse ahead of the others, and win the race. The other riders would secretly bet large amounts of money that the chosen horse would win. The public soon learned about such races. They began to call the winner of such a race a "shoo-in". 

     These days, people use shoo-into describe any athlete or competitor that seems certain to win, even without cheating. American runner Edwin Moses won more than hundred races before he ran the hurdle race in the nineteen-eighty-four Olympic Games. Everyone said Moses was a shoo-in, and that he could not lose. And they were

right. He won the gold medal.

24. One of the dishonest riders was sure to win the race because ________.

B. The public did not know they were being cheated. 

C. Some runners bet a lot of money on the chosen horse.

D. US runner Moses was worthy of a shoo-in.

26. The main idea of the passage is that "shoo-in" ________.

A. is used to admire a person who seems to be sure to win a race

B. is a word used to describe a dishonest person

C. is used for any athlete or competitor that seems too clever to be cheated

D. is used for anyone or anything that is certain to win a game

27. This passage can best be titled_______.

   A. Be Sure to Win            B. Shoo-in, a Sure Winner

I wanted to do something special for my 15－year－old son, who has always been a perfect boy. He worked all summer to earn enough money to buy   61  (he) a new racing－bicycle instead of asking for money from me. Then he spent hours and hours on it. I loved my son so much   62  I bought him a pair of sunglasses and gloves. When my son rode the racing－bicycle with them, he looked very cool. He dreamed   63   taking part in a race and winning.

On November 10th, my birthday, when I went to the kitchen to start the milk and bread in the morning, I found   64   beautiful guitar on the table, beside which was a card,    65   (say), “Happy birthday to my wonderful mother.” I was surprised and then began to sob.

He took it   68    (serious), and bought me one as a birthday gift. When I wondered   69   my son could buy this expensive gift, soon I realized that my son had sold his racing－bicycle   70  (get) me the guitar.

Bad news sells. If it bleeds, it leads. No news is good news, and good news is no news. Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers. But now that information is being spread and monitored(监控) in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules. By tracking people’s e-mails and online posts, scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.

   “The ‘if it bleeds’ rule works for mass media,” says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania. “They want your eyeballs and don’t care how you’re feeling. But when you share a story with your friends, you care a lot more how they react. You don’t want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.”

   Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communication—e-mails, Web posts and reviews, face-to-face conversations—found that it tended to be more positive than negative(消极的), but that didn’t necessarily mean people preferred positive news. Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things? To test for that possibility, Dr. Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories: thousands of articles on The New York Times’ website. He and a Penn colleague analyzed the “most e-mailed” list for six months. One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non-science articles. He found that science amazed Times’ readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others.

   Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad. They needed to be aroused(激发) one way or the other, and they preferred good news to bad. The more positive an article, the more likely it was to be shared, as Dr. Berger explains in his new book, “Contagious: Why Things Catch On.”

312 .What do the classic rules mentioned in the text apply to?

A. News reports.            B. Research papers.

C .Private e-mails.          D. Daily conversations．

33. What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer?

B. They’re good at telling stories.

C. They’re inconsiderate of others.

D. They’re careful with their words.

34.Which tended to be the most e-mailed according to Dr. Berger’s research?

A . Sports new.              B. Science articles.

C. Personal accounts.         D. Financial reviews.

35 .What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Sad Stories Travel Far and Wide
