But today, no one lives there. It is only a group of old buildings. However, people from around the world still come to see it. People come to learn about its ancient culture, the culture of the Mayan people.The Mayan culture began almost 3,000 years ago and grew in parts of Central America. But about 1,000 years ago a group called the Itza invaded the city and built new parts of the city based on natural wells. They named the city Chichen Itza, which means “mouth of the well of the Itza”.The most interesting structure in Chichen Itza is the Pyramid of Kukulcan (库库尔坎金字塔), whose four sides all come together at one point at the top. Each side on the Pyramid of Kukulcan has 91 steps. And there is one more step at the top of the pyramid. The steps are as many as the days of a year. Some experts believe the Maya could have used this building to help them know when to plant crops. Each day the sun falls on a different step of the pyramid, which could be a way to follow the year.The people of Chichen Itza especially designed one building to observe and study the movement of the stars and planets. Experts say that the observatory (天文台) is one of the most complex structures the Maya built. A set of steps went up and around the observatory tower. And there were windows in the tower. Each window had a purpose. Experts believe that a person looking through one of these windows could see particular stars on particular dates. The Maya might have believed that studying the stars could tell them the future.Chichen Itza is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and an important part of the worlds history.1、Visitors came to the city of Chichen Itza to .Aview its beautiful sceneryBexperience and explore the Mayan cultureCstudy and observe other stars on the observatoryDlearn something about when to plant crops2、Why did the invaders name the city “mouth of the well of the Itza”？ABecause wells can be seen in or around the city.BBecause it is large in size.CBecause the city is newly-built.DBecause its location is vital.3、Which of the following is true?AChichen Itza is one of the World Heritages.BThe Pyramid of Kukulcan has 364 steps.CWindows in the tower predict the weather in the future.DThe city of Chichen Itza has a long history of 3,000 years.4、Whats the authors purpose in writing this passage?ATo evaluate the Mayan culture.BTo persuade readers to pay a visit.CTo introduce the ancient city of Chichen Itza.DTo present the development of the Mayan construction.22（8分）The Cardboard Box Office is a project created by Lilly and Leon Mackie, who recently moved from New Zealand to Sydney, Australia. The transfer left them with a mountain of cardboard boxes, and the arrival of their baby son Orson 10 months ago meant their social lives were “completely altered (改变.” So the couple decided to try to make some fun of the situation.“We started after creating a one-off photo where we wanted to portray the general mess and sleep-deprivation (睡眠) that comes with being new parents,” Lilly Mackie said in an email. “People seemed to really love it and asked for more. We had a lot of weekends at home and a stockpile of cardboard so we thought Why not? It went from there. ”The Mackies took the first photos in September and have portrayed 14 movies so far,including their versions of “Cast Away”(or “Castababy”) and “Jurassic Park”(or “Goo-goo Gaa-gaa-rassic Park”). Even “Star Wars” gets the Mackie treatment, with Orson holding a cardboard tube in place of a saber (军刀) and mom sporting impressive Princess Leia-like hair buns ( HI made out of brown paper in the photo titled “Wah Wars.”The family usually creates the sets on Saturdays and posts the whimsical pictures on their blog and Facebook page, which have almost 3,000 fans. Besides cardboard boxes, the photos feature costumes, props (道具) , and sets created out of everyday household items, toys, “and three individuals slowly losing their sense,” they joked on their blog.Leon, a childrens book designer at a large publishing company, and Lilly, a stay-at-home mom, are both film buffs and photography fans. The baby is also becoming a connoisseur (鉴赏家) of movies and cardboard boxes.“Orson seems to find the photo shoots quite fascinating and enjoys exploring the sets-and tearing things apart. Theres never a dull moment for him on Saturday nights,” Lilly said. “When he gets a little older, we11 bring in a lot more of his input, asking for his ideas on films and sets. Make it a real family thing. I think he may come up with some quite funny things.”1、The original reason why the Mackies create family movies is that_.Athey want to earn a great deal of moneyBboth of them are childrens book designersCthey have no friends in their new communityDthey want to make their family life interesting2、What do we know about the Mackies family movies?AThey are usually made on Sundays.BThey are not popular on the Internet.CSome of them are made based on famous films.DThey are mainly about early childhood education.3、Which word is closest in meaning to the underlined word “whimsical” in Paragraph 4?AUnusual.

BTo prove their baby is very bright.CTo develop Orsons skills in art. DTo make themselves .famous.23（8分）Andrew started his job four years ago at a job search company G, when he worked in a computer programming language called Stata. Then other programming languages appear, and he has had to continually learn new skills. He says the ever-changing universe of work requires employees to be critical thinkers and fast to adapt to the new environment.People need to learn new technologies and apply their skills quickly and regularly. When companies hire new workers, they are not always looking for knowledge of a certain software, but soft skills like problem solving, effective communication and leadership. They also may want candidates who show a willingness to keep learning new skills.Students may believe that studying science, technology, engineering and mathematics, known as the STEM fields, will easily lead to a good first job. But employers are telling colleges: you are producing engineers, but they do not have the skills we need. That means finding new ways to solve a problem is more important than using established steps to do so.To get students ready, some colleges and even high schools, are working on building critical thinking skills. One example of this is at the private Westminster Schools in Atlanta, Georgia. For three weeks in January, students either get jobs or go on trips. The experience gives them a better sense of what they might do in the future.Career offices at universities also place a lot of importance on interview skills, teaching young people more than writing an effective resume and dressing well. They have to learn how to perform best on video and phone interviews, and how to deal with new ways of being chosen for a job.1、What does the job at G require Andrew to do?ATo apply what he learned in college to his work.BTo keep learning new knowledge to keep up.CTo have a good command of several languages.DTo keep changing jobs for different skills.2、What quality do companies require of new workers?ASkills at solving problems and effective communication.BWillingness to stop work and go for further education.CTricks at managing a whole department or research team.DReadiness to stay behind after work and work overtime.3、What message do employers convey to colleges?AInterview skills and effective resume are necessary for students.BGood basic knowledge in related field is essential for students.CMany new ways of looking for graduate employees are popular.DCollege students should have the skills for solving problems.4、Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?ANew Skills Are Required of EmployersBTraditional Education Limits Job ChancesCTomorrows Jobs Require Soft SkillsDWhat You Learn Today Decides Your Future24（8分）Safety is a huge concern whenever I run with my earphones in. But I need music to run. Otherwise all I hear is the sound of my own breathing. So Ive found a compromise: I run with only one earphone in. The music sounds off. Its an imperfect solution.An updated pair of headphones, called AfterShokz, aim to do better. AfterShokz bills itself as using bone conducting technology to conduct music from the front of the ear, delivering sound through your cheekbone and inner ear. This keeps your eardrum (鼓膜) free to hear everything else.“Earbuds (耳塞式耳机) are typically designed to block out all sound, which is fine when youre inside. But when youre outside, you need all your senses. It would be like sending you out cycling with a blindfold on,” says Rod Annet, managing director of AfterShokz.Heres where AfterShokz comes in. The headphones hook over the back of your head with the main “bud” resting high up against your cheek. This keeps your ear free to delight in other sounds.So do they work? In a word, yes. During a 45-minute jog, they didnt bounce or shift. I heard far more of my environment than I normally do: a nearby bike there; a runner passing me again to my left; and so forth.What about the downsides? If youre a huge fan of high-quality sound, you might find the headphones a bit tinny. One friend expressed concerns about missing the ability to get lost in the music as you might be distracted by other noises, although I personally didnt find that an issue.Yet those are all minor details. For me, probably the biggest problem is the price. Ranging between 49.96 to 83.29, AfterShokz headphones arent exactly cheap.With all that considered, would I recommend them? Yes. AfterShokz headphones are quite useful. While out jogging, they were light, painless, and easy to use. They made me feel safer.1、What is special about AfterShokz headphones?AThey are a good choice for inside use.BThey allow users to hear other sounds.CThey can make music sound more beautiful.DThey can deliver sound through your eardrum.2、What does the authors friend think of AfterShokz headphones?AThey prevent users getting lost.BThey deliver highquality sound.CThey often move while users are running.DThey fail to allow users to enjoy the music.3、The author thinks AfterShokz headphones .Aare too expensive Bseem quite uselessCmake users feel pain Dare too complex to use4、What is the main purpose of the text?ATo express worries. BTo introduce a product.CTo share a personal story. DTo complain about a product.25（10分）Late last spring,a student worked late into the night,and as she painted,her chemistry took on a life of its own, transforming into a comic book.Veronica Berns,28,was working on her Ph.Din chemistry.Berns quickly concluded that she would be best able to describe the difficult concepts with illustrations.Theyre not very well-polished illustrationsthats on purpose,Berns said.In the beginning,it was on the back of an envelope or on a napkin that she doodled（涂鸦）the c
