One day, two silver saucers were stolen from the cupboard. After a few days, another two saucers were stolen again. The rich man was very angry. He thought, “Someone must have stolen them. I must catch the thief, or another two saucers would be stolen in a few days.”Then he had an idea. He called in all his servants and said. “Some of my silver saucers have disappeared. Someone among you must have taken them. Who has taken them?”The servants looked at one another and kept quiet. Then the rich man said, “I shall catch the thief myself. I am giving each of you a stick. Look, all the sticks are of the same length, Keep the sticks. Bring them back tomorrow. The thiefs stick will two centimeters longer.”That evening, Salleh, one of the servants, went home sadly. His wife asked him, “Why are you so sad this evening?”“This stick will grow two centimeters longer tomorrow because I have taken the silver saucers,” he said.“Oh, dont worry. Cut off two centimeters from the stick,” his wife said. “In other words your stick will be of the same length as any of the other sticks.”Hearing this, he was very happy. At once, he cut off two centimeters from the stick with a knife.The next day, each of the servants brought back his stick. The rich man then measured each of the sticks. He found Sallehs stick shorter by two centimeters. Salleh was the thief. He was caught and put in prison. The rich man got back the stolen saucers.1、The silver saucers were kept in_Aa cupboard Ba boxCthe kitchen Dthe bedroom2、The rich man found _ silver saucers were stolenAtwo BfourCsix Dthree3、The next day, the rich man knew that Salleh was the thief because Sallehs stick _.Aremained the same lengthBwas shorter by two centimetersCwas longer by two centimetersDbroke in two4、Which of the following is TRUE?ASallehs wife told him to return the stolen saucersBSallehs wife was angry with himCSalleh brought back the stolen saucer himselfDSalleh did as his wife told him to.22（8分） Bees are unimaginably territorial (有地盘意识的), fighting to death to defend their home with painful stings (螫刺). But killer bees are particularly fierce. They appeared after African bees were imported to Brazil in the 1950s. By the 1980s, they had spread north to the United States, outgunning native bees along the way. Their massive attacks have killed more than 1,000 people.Mario Palma, a biochemist at Sao Paulo State University in Rio Claro, Brazil, who studies social behavior in bees, wanted to understand the basis of this aggression. So he and his colleagues swung a black leather ball in front of some killer bees and collected the bees whose stingers got stuck in the ball during the attack. They also collected killer bees that remained in the cell. The analysis suggested that killer bee brains have two proteins thatin the aggressive beesquickly break into pieces to form a so-called “neuropeptide (神经肽)”, they reported this week in the Journal of Proteome Research.Palma and his colleagues already knew that bee brains have these two proteins. “We were astonished when we identified some very simple neuropeptides, which were produced in a few seconds,” Palma said. Killer bees that remained in the cell did not make these neuropeptides, he reported. And when his team put these neuropeptides into young, less aggressive bees, they “became aggressive like older individuals”.Palma added that these neuropeptides also increase the production of energy and alarm chemicals. They could also encourage the nerve cells in killer bees needed to make the stinging attack. “There is a fine biochemical regulation in the killer bee brain,” he said. Researchers have found these neuropeptides in other insects, but few had associated them with “fight” behavior.1、What is special about bees?AThey are particularly fierce.BThey show territorial behavior.CThey were imported to Brazil.DThey live in harmony with other insects.2、Why did Palma and his colleagues perform the experiment?ATo understand bees social behavior.BTo study why killer bees are aggressive.CTo prove bees love flying around.DTo learn how bees communicate with each other.3、What finding surprised the researchers during the experiment?AThere are two proteins in killer bee brains.BYoung killer bees are fiercer than older ones.CThe killer bees make an attack immediately.DKiller bee brains produce neuropeptide quickly.4、What will the author probably talk about following the last paragraph?AThe form of these neuropeptides in killer bees.BThe function of these neuropeptides in other insects.CThe application of these scientific methods in other insects.DThe production of energy and alarm chemicals in killer bees.23（8分） A survey has shown that what you do on a plane can be determined by which nationality is listed on your passport.According to the results of an international passenger survey, Australians are the biggest drinkers on board with 36 percent choosing to down the hatch, compared to 35 percent of Americans and 33 percent of Brits.The Airline Passenger Experience Association(APEX) spoke to around 1,500 people, aged 18 and older, who have traveled by plane at least once during the last three months and were living in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, China, Singapore, Australia and Brazil.The results found Chinese travelers are most likely to nod off once the seat-belt sign switches off. They are also the first to take out their credit card for some in-flight shopping and the biggest fans of gaming. Americans on the other hand like to use their time in the air more productively- when not drinking- choosing to work while flying at 35,000 feet.Meanwhile, Brits and Germans are the best at making chat with random strangers-spending 50 percent more time than any other nationality. Comparatively, Brazilians conduct their conversations online via email, messaging apps or social media.Despite plane food having a bad reputation, seven out of ten interviewees said they were happy to eat up on the selection of in-flight snacks and meals. In-flight magazines were also popular with four out of five passengers.The international flyers did however express their desire for better in-flight entertainment. “The industry has greatly improved the comfort, entertainment and onboard service, and passengers are accepting those improvements” said Russell Lemieux, APEX executive director. “At the same time, passengers are demanding more from their air travel experiences which will drive more improvements touching all aspects of the journey.” he added.1、What can you probably see in the flight according to the passage?ABrazilians choose to drink.BAmericans do in-flight shopping.CGermans chat to kill the time.DThe Chinese switch off the seat-belt sign.2、When on board the plane, _.Apassengers from one nation have little in commonBmost passengers like to read in-flight magazinesCmore than half of the passengers dont enjoy plane foodDmost people tend to use in-flight time to have a good sleep.3、What can we learn from the last paragraph?AFlyers care little about entertainment.BFlyers are not satisfied with the improvements.CFlyers are expecting better flight experiences.DFlyers have more and more demands from airlines.4、Whats the purpose of the passage?ATo entertain readers with interesting stories.BTo encourage people to behave well in public.CTo criticize impolite behaviors on the plane.DTo inform readers of the results of a survey.24（8分）Opening Times of the British MuseumFor everyones safety all bags, rucksacks, packages and personal items may be searched before entry.

But most days I bike for at least part of it. So Ill Metro and then bike from NoMa down to Navy Yard on a Bikeshare bike.Do you stop at all stop signs?Of course.When youre driving a car, have you ever shouted or shaken your fist at a bicyclist?No, I havent shouted at them, but I have taken into account the kind of frustration most drivers might feel behind a cyclist. But my position is that I respect their right to be on the road and try to give them as much space as possible.Should bicyclists be required to have licenses?No. I think that would really cut down on the convenience of bicycling. I dont really think it makes sense and it would be a great burden for the government to try and license all riders. What we prefer is to establish policies and make it safer for everyone.Would you support a one-day event where people can only walk or bike or take public transportation?That would be nice, but it might be a bit of a challenge. What we saw on the Metro closure day was that on very short notice a lot of people found other ways to get to work, and that was exciting. We offered a free day membership on Bikeshare, and we had a lot of people try it for the first time. We had 149 people
