   The Internet is full of headlines that grab your attention with buzzwords (流行词). But often when we click through, we find the content hardly delivers and it wastes our time. We close the page, feeling we've been cheated. These types of headlines are called "click bait".

A headline on Businesslnsider.com reads: "This phrase will make you seem more polite". First, when you click through, you find another headline: "Four words to seem more polite." Then, on reading the article, you find it's actually an essay about sympathy. And what are the four words? They're "Wow, that sounds hard." On some video websites, you might encounter headlines such as "Here's what happens when six puppies visited a campus". Turns out it's just some uninteresting dog footage (镜头).

Nowadays, with the popularity of social media, many news outlets tweet (推送) click bait links to their stories. These tweets take advantage of the curiosity gap or attempt to draw the reader into a story using a question in the headline. These click bait headlines are so annoying that someone is attempting to save people time by exposing news outlet click bait through social media. The Twitter account @SavedYouAClick, run by Jake Beckman, is one such example.

Beckman's method is to grab tweets linking to a story and retweet them with a click-saving comment. For example, CNET tweeted "So iOS 8 appears to be jailbreakable but...", with a link to its coverage of Apple's product announcements. Beckman retweeted it with this comment attached: "... it hasn't been jailbroken yet."

Since founding the account, Beckman's Twitter experiment has brought him more than 131,000 followers. Beckman said that @SavedYouAClick is…"just my way of trying to help the Internet be less terrible." Asked about his goal, he said, "I'd love to see publishers think about the experience of their readers first. I think there's an enormous opportunity for publishers to provide readers with informative updates that include links so you can click through and read more.

32. The article on Businesslnsider.com turns out to be___.

A. useful suggestions on politeness             B. an essay about another topic

C. an article hard to understand                D. a link to a video website

33. Why are readers often cheated by tricky headlines?

A. Social media has become more popular.      B. Readers have questions to be solved.

C. Such headlines are fairly attractive.          D. There're always stories behind them.

34. Beckman attached his comment to CNET's tweet to ___

A. criticize CNET                          B. save readers' time

C. advertise apple's new product                     D. tell readers something about iOS 8

35. In the last paragraph, Beckman appeals that _____

A. publishers be more responsible for the link

B. readers think about their needs before reading

C. publishers provide more information for readers

D. people work together to make the Internet less terrible

One sentence from the news in Washington has remained in my mind since a trip last summer: “When you see people run against the crowd escaping   61   the danger, they are  62   (probable) firefighters, police or journalists.”

I think this is most true for the firefighters. Whenever and wherever   63   (disaster) happen — 9/11 Attacks in New York 14 years ago or the explosion in Tianjin on Wednesday night — it is always the firefighters   64   take the lead to run to the very center, saving lives by   65   (risk) their own. I cried today near the explosion site, not because of the smoke from the ongoing fire   66   because of a short message a firefighter sent to a trusted friend that went viral online. It reads, “If I cannot make it, my father is   67   (you) father; and please remember    68    (sweep) my mother’s tomb.” I was thrilled later to learn that he did make it.

“Everyone knows it’s     69    (danger) to be a firefighter. But he has always liked it and has done it for 12 years,” his father said. “He survived this time, but no one knows what  70   (happen) next time.”

For more than twenty years scientists have been seeking to understand the mystery of the “sixth sense” of direction. By trying out ideas and solving problems one by one, they are now getting closer to one answer. One funny idea is that animals might have a built-in compass.

Our earth itself is a big magnet(磁体). So a little magnetic needle that swings freely lines itself with the big earth magnet to point north and south. When people discovered that idea about a thousand years ago and invented the compass, it allowed sailors to navigate on ocean voyages, even under cloudy skies.

Actually the idea of the living compass came just from observing animals in nature. Many birds migrate twice a year between their summer homes and winter homes. Some of them fly for thousands of kilometers and mostly at night. Experiments have shown that some birds can recognize star patterns. But they can keep on course even under cloudy skies. How can they do that?

A common bird that does not migrate but is great at finding its way home is the homing pigeon. Not all pigeons can find their way home. Those that can are very good at it，and they have been widely studied.

One interesting experiment was to attach little magnets to the birds’ heads to block their magnetic sense——just as a loud radio can keep you from hearing a call to dinner. On sunny days, that did not fool the pigeons. Evidently they can use the sun to tell which way they are going. But on cloudy days, the pigeons with magnets could not find their way. It was as if the magnets had blocked their magnetic sense.

Similar experiments with the same kind of results were done with honeybees. These insects also seem to have a special sense of direction.

24. What is the best title for this passage?

   A. A great invention——Compass           B. “Six sense” of direction

   C. Methods of finding directions             D. A built-in compass in animals

25. What contributes to the pigeon’s good sense of direction according to the passage?

   A. The invention of the compass.            B. The existence of their living compass.

   C. The recognition of star patterns.           D. The disturbance of cloudy weather.

26. Further experiments might be conducted on_______.

   A. sparrows          B. seagulls          C. dolphins         D. strawberry

 ____ with a difficult situation, Mr Smith made up his mind ____ his boss for advice.

   No matter who you are or where you come from, one thing is certain: you are familiar to the mosquito, although you probably wish you weren't. Mosquitoes are everywhere. They can be found all over the world, and they come in more than 2,500 species(种). Somewhere, at some time, you have surely met at least one.

   No one loves the mosquito. But unfortunately, the mosquito may decide who she loves. She? Yes, she. Do you know that only the female mosquito bites? Well, it's true. And it's not because she is unfriendly; she needs blood to reproduce.                   Do you know how the female mosquito decides whom to bite? She is quite selective, and she chooses her victims(猎物) carefully. First, she uses sensors to find her victim. These sensors are located on her two antennae(触角)and her three pairs of legs. With these sensors, she tests your body moisture, body warmth, and chemical substances in your sweat. If she likes what she finds, she bites. But if you are not attractive, she'll reject you for another one. The next time a mosquito bites you, just remember that you are chosen. You are special.

   If the mosquito likes you, she settles onto your flesh very gently, and she breaks your skin with her long nose tip. Long nose tip? What's that? It's a kind of mouth and it sticks out just below the mosquito's eyes. It contains six sharp instruments called styles.  She thrusts all six styles into your skin at once, and if she hits a blood pipe, she'll get a full dinner in about a minute. All this usually takes place so quickly and quietly that you may not have doubted anything is happening.

   Why does a mosquito bite itch（痒)? The itch is not really from the bite. lt's from the saliva(口水) the mosquito mixes with your blood to keep it from being blocked as she sucks up her long nose tip. By the time the itch begins, she has gone.

   And then what happens? Well after her delicious dinner, the mosquito is tired. She just wants to find a place to rest. Heavy with your blood, she picks a spot on a leaf, a wall or a stone to quietly lay her eggs. Just one drop of blood will produce hundreds of eggs.

13. The female mosquito looks for you because she ______.

    A. is thirsty for your blood           B. needs blood to reproduce

    C. loses her heart to you             D. feels hungry at the time

14. Only when _______does she do biting.

    A. she locates these sensors on her two antennae

    B. she finds the weather is fine

    C. she finds body moisture, body warmth and chemical substances

    D. she finds what she likes

15. It is _______that makes you itch.

    A. your blood     B. her bite    C. her suck       D. her saliva

Two of the hardest things to accomplish in this world are to acquire wealth by honest effort and, having gained it, to learn how to use it properly. Recently I walked into the locker room of a rather well-known golf club after finishing a round. It was in the late afternoon and most of the members had left for their homes. But a half-dozen or so men past middle age were still seated at tables talking aimlessly and drinking more than was good for them. These same men can be found there day after day, and, strangely enough, each one of these men had been a man of affairs and wealth, successful in business and respected in the community if material prosperity were the chief necessity for happiness, then each one should have been happy. Yet, it seemed to me, something very important was missing, or else there would not have been the constant effort to escape the realities of life through Scotch and soda. They knew, each one of them, that their productivity had ceased(停止)．When a fruit tree ceases to bear its fruit, it is dying. And it is even so with man.

What is the answer to a long and happy existence in this world of ours? I think I found it long ago in a passage from the book of Genesis which caught my eye while I was looking through my Bible. The words were few, but they became memorably impressed on my mind:“In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread．”

To me, that has been a challenge from my earliest recollections (memories). In fact, the battle of life, of existence, is a challenge to everyone. The immortal words of St. Paul, too, have been and always will be a great inspiration to me. At the end of the road I want to be able to feel that I have fought a good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith.

32．Which of the following is indicated in the first paragraph?

A. Wealth results from honest effort.

B．The men seated at tables in the locker room are lost in the significance of life.

C．For some people, no way can be found to escape the realities of life other than Scotch and soda.

D．The men acquire wealth by planting fruit trees.

33． The underlined sentence “In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread” means “________”.

A. Bread tastes delicious when sweat pours off your face

B．No pains, no gains

C．Failure is the mother of success

D．Bread comes from the sweat on your face

34．We learn from the passage that the author ________.

A．was a wealthy person in the community

B．held a positive attitude towards an active life

C．was fond of associating with celebrities (名人)

D．kept a secret of the reason why he was so impressed

35．What is implied in the passage by the writer?

A．To use wealth properly, eat, drink and be merry.

B．Where there is a will, there is a way.

C．As life is but like a dream, a man is like a fruit tree.

D．If you cease to struggle, you cease to live.

A CCTV journalist succeeded in arousing a heated discussion among netizens by asking people whether they were happy. The responses to the question were various, even some quite funny ones   41  (include). Although people played jokes   __42   the answers, it did not take long   43   they began to figure out the true meanings of happiness.

It is certain that people’s views on happiness   44  (affect) greatly by their own life experience.  45    (fortune), too many people refer to being rich as happiness and there is no sign of a decrease in the number of those who are voluntarily at the mercy of wealth. Some people whose   46  (intend) is to make big money appreciate being given any chance to multiply their income, believing that is   __47__ their happiness lies. Some are eager to inherit their parents’ property, especially those who   48  (be) known as silver-spoon kids. Even worse, some would rather break the law to satisfy their financial desire or seek their fortune __49__(legal).

In my opinion, happiness is not about pursuing wealth merely but about admiring the   50  (beauty) things in life. Therefore, live your life to the fullest and be happy.

In my childhood, I envied my classmates very much as my absence from school was not allowed due to my strict parents. I had to be  41  in order to stay home. My parents  42  to say that they were leading me to have a  43  work ethic (职业道德). Not until last week did I see the  44  .

I was on a bus, and behind was a man who was  45  to his friend about his life.

Then he admitted to thinking about becoming a(n)  50  because he thought he could  51  make six figures within one year. His friend agreed because as he put it, “I have no  52  to work long hours and not make much money. Taking pictures is good because you can make big money and only work short hours.”

Many people these days don’t  53  that when things seem to happen immediately, it is only because a lot of  54  , determination and time have gone into it. Someone once told me that you may know  55  someone is an expert in his given field by how easy he makes it look. The  56  it looks, the more hours go into it.

There is no  57  for laziness. In the television show Fame, the dance teacher told her students, “If you want fame, fame  58  and here’s how you start paying for it, in sweat.” Every time I watch that show, my dad would repeat how  59  she was because in order to  60  you have to work hard. He would go on and on about how bad it is to be lazy.

Until now, a big sum of money   70   (receive). We hope the patients become better.

People with an impulsive personality refer to those who tend to do things without considering the possible dangers or problems first. According to a new study by researchers at the University of Georgia, such people may be more likely to have food addiction. The study found that people exhibiting impulsive behavior weren’t necessarily overweight, but impulsiveness was related to a direct relationship with food, and therefore, less healthy weight.

Food addiction has been compared to addictive drug use. Studies have linked the dopamine (多巴胺) release that occurs after tasting delicious food to the dopamine release that happens when people consume other addictive substances.

Impulsive behavior involves several personality traits (特点). Two of these traits, known as negative urgency and lack of perseverance, were particularly associated with food addiction and high BMI (身体质量指数) during the study.

Negative urgency is characterized by the tendency to behave impulsively when experiencing negative emotions. Some people might drink alcohol or take drugs. For others, it could mean eating to feel better. Lack of perseverance is when a person has a hard time finishing hard or boring tasks. People with a lack of perseverance might have difficulty attempting to change addictive eating behavior, which could also cause obesity.

“Impulsiveness might be one reason why some people eat in an addictive way despite motivation to lose weight,” said Dr. Ashley Gearhardt, a clinical psychologist. He was involved in developing the Yale Food Addiction Scale in aid of those people. “We are theorizing that if food addiction is really a thing, then our measure, the Yale Food Addiction Scale, should be related to helping control impulsive action,” said Gearhardt.

Clinical psychologist Dr. James MacKillop, whose lab was conducting the study, believes that therapies used to treat addictive drug behavior could help people who suffer from addictive eating habits.

“Most of the programs for weight loss at this point focus on the most obvious things, which are clearly diet and exercise,” MacKillop said. “It seems that managing strong desires to eat would naturally fit in with the skills a person would need to eat healthily.”

32.According to Paragraph 1, the result of food addiction is ________.

A. less healthy weight        B. motivation to lose weight

C. negative emotions         D. taking alcohol or drugs

33.How does the author introduce the two personality traits in Paragraph 4?

A. By making comparisons and conclusions.      B. By explaining causes and effects.

C. By presenting questions and answers.         D. By giving definitions and examples.

34.What can be inferred about the Yale Food Addiction Scale from the text?

A. It has been successfully carried out among overweight people.

B. It might help some impulsive people with food addiction to lose weight.

C. It will prove whether food addiction is a problem to impulsive people.

D. It is theoretically a proper treatment for addictive food and drug behavior.

35.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. Dopamine release caused by food addiction       B. Food addiction compared to drug use

C. Impulsive personality linked to food addition      D. Food addiction contributing to obesity     

Although heat wasn’t issue at first, as it would become later, coming from New York to India would shock any foreign tourists. Quickly, however, I noticed how nice and helpful everyone was to us. The guest house we stayed in was full of people willing to help. The other two volunteers also helped to calm my nerves about being in India so far away from my home. After the first few days I was eager to get to Bal Ashram.

Upon getting to Bal Ashram, I was able to meet the boys, who called Bal Ashram their home. The center itself helps to rescue boys from child labor in various areas of India and give them a jump－start into education for free where they will then return to their families and continue their education. They are taught that without education there can be no future. Through education, Bal Ashram also builds a sense of community which can be seen with everyone who works and is taught here. Teaching English here to the children gave me great pride in knowing that these children would be helped within their own experiences here at Bal Ashram and their future lives. Each child was always willing to learn more.

Boys there were always seen laughing. Afternoon sports and nightly social events, including dancing, were just one of the many highlights with me and the children. Even my inner life was enriched, let alone theirs. Living in Bal Ashram also gave us a first hand view of village life in India as well as the culture and religion that surrounds this country.

My time spent at Bal Ashram was one I will never forget. Through the simplicity and life of the people and the children who are full of innocence and joy, I have taken with me so much more than when I arrived.

During the war, my husband was stationed at an army camp in a desert in California. I went to live there in order to be  21   him. I hated the place. I had never  22  been so unhappy. My husband was ordered out on a long-term duty, and I was left in a tiny shack(棚屋) alone. The heat was         23  -almost 125 degrees even in the shade of a cactus(仙人掌).  24  a soul to talk to. The wind blew non-stop, and all the food I ate, and the very air I breathed,  were  25  with sand, sand, sand!

I was so sorry for myself that I wrote to my parents. I told them I was  26  and coming back home. I said I couldn’t stand it one minute longer. I  27  be in prison! My father answered my    28  with just two lines-two lines that will always sing in my  29  - two lines that completely changed my life:

Two men looked out from prison bars,

One saw the mud, the other saw the stars.

I read those two lines  30   . I was ashamed of myself. I made up my mind I would find out what was good in my present   31   ; I would look for the stars.

I made friends with the natives, and their  32  amazed me. They gave me presents of their favorite artworks which they had  33   to sell to tourists. I studied the delightful forms of the cactus . I watched for the desert sunsets, and  34   for seashells that had been left there millions of years ago when the desert had been an ocean  35   .

What brought about this  36  change in me? The desert hadn’t changed,   37  I had . I had changed my  38  . And by doing so, I changed an unhappy experience into the most amazing   39  of my life. I was excited by this new world that I had discovered. I had looked out of my self-created prison and  40   the stars.
