Mark Zuckerberg， who starts the social network Facebook， often wears jeans and a T﹣shirt to work， including to important business meetings． Not everyone agrees with him． Some people say he doesn't look serious this way．
Harvard Business School researcher， Franccsca Gino， has a different idea． While most people seem to think that dressing differently from those around you generally has a bad influence， she believes it can actually have a positive（积极的） effect． And she's done experiments to support her idea． When her researchers， wearing sportswear， visited the expensive shops an Italy， they were usually viewed as wealthier and more important people than those who were well﹣dressed in designer clothes．
Do people always view less formal（正式的） clothing more positively？ Researchers in France took their research out into the street， to the general public． The video they made shows an actor dressed in a well﹣cut suit and shiny shoes． While walking along the road， he begins to cough badly， stops to catch his breath and falls down． Before he even calls for help， people rush to help him． In another video， the actor appears at the same crowded place and repeats the actions in exactly the same way． But this time， no one comes to help． What's the difference？ He's wearing untidy clothes and looks like a homeless person． In a situation like this， the clothes you're wearing could mean the difference between life and death．
It seems that our clothing doesn't only change the way others view us， but also the way we see ourselves． In an experiment testing students' ability to pay attention to details（细节）， the group wearing white lab coats did the best．Why？ Researchers told them that they were wearing the doctors coats． The experiment didn't show whether such influences would last long． More experiments are needed in the future before we decide to make the doctors' coats a must of fashion．
（1）Mark Zuckerberg is not considered serious by some people because ．
A． he does not listen to others' advice
B． he sets up a network of video games
C． he wears jeans and a T﹣shirt to work
D． he often plays jokes at business meetings
（2）Which of the following is Gino's opinion according to Paragraph 2？
A． It is necessary to buy expensive clothes．
B． Wearing less formal clothes is in fact good．
C． It is bad to dress differently from people around you．
D． Wearing sports clothes makes you look less important．
（3）In Paragraph 3， the writer proves（证明） his （her） opinion mainly ．
A． by giving reasons
B． by using pictures
C． by comparing facts
D． by listing numbers
（4）What can we learn from the passage？

阅读下面材料，然后从各题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案．
Fresh green grass． Hundreds of colorful wild flowers． Water running into little pools． Birds making their homes in boxes． The 9， 500﹣square﹣metre Augustenborg Botanical Garden may look just like any other well﹣organized park but there's a difference． It lies on the roofs（屋顶） of industria land office buildings in the city of Malmo in Sweden．
Green roofs are not a new invention． And now they are getting popular again． The common roofs of a modern city have endless black surfaces with no life or water． Perhaps that's why a garden on a roof becomes such a perfect choice for more and more people．
Green roofs are not just pretty． They also help to moderate the city temperature． The high temperatures on common roofs in the summer can make top floor flats uncomfortably hot． What is more， they play a part in making the cities hotter than the countryside around them， causing the "urban heat﹣island effect"． On a green roof， however， with its plants and water， temperatures change only a little， as they do in a park． This can greatly cut the costs of heating and cooling in the building below．
Also， a green roof takes in rain water， and protects the city drainage（排水） system．_____ And small animals and birds can make their homes on it． Thanks to this， the city may become part of nature， rather than something completely separate from it．
While the cost of building such a roof can still be higher， it can be cheaper in the long term as a result of energy savings． And wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to walk out into a garden high above the city's noise and traffic， whether you're at school or in an office or just at home in a ten﹣floor block．
（1）With the example of Augustenborg Botanical Garden， the writer wants to explain ．
A． how wildlife is protected
B． what a green roof is like
C． how to organize a good park
D． what to do with a spare roof
（2）The underlined word " moderate" in Paragraph 3 is the closest in meaning to " "．
A． raise
B． check
C． record
D． control
（3）Which of the following is the best sentence to fill in the blank in Paragraph 4？
A． A green roof is alive．
B． A green roof stops pollution．
C． A common roof is noisy．
D． A common roof increases the cost．
（4）The purpose of the passage is to ．
A． discover the problems with green roofs
B． introduce the change of green roofs
C． show the amazing beauty of green roofs
D． describe the advantages of green roofs

Everyone faces difficulties in their life． Daniel Kish was born with a special eye illness and lost his eyesight before he was only 14 months old．
Soon after， however， he started to do an amazing thing． He learned to make clicks（咔哒声） with his tongue to help him move around． Kish now moves about using sonar（声呐）． He is so good at it that he can ride a bicycle by himself on public roads． And he started the organization World Access for the Blind（WAFTB） in 2000， teaching others how to use sonar． In the interview with National Geographic， he explains how the sonar works．
"When I make a click sound， it produces sound waves． These waves reflect（反射） off surfaces all around and return to my ears． My brain then deals with the sound and turns it into pictures in my mind． Each click is like a camera flash， which helps me make a 3﹣D picture of my surroundings for hundreds of feet． It's like having a conversation with the environment．"
Kish feels it is exciting to ride a bike using a sonar， although he needs to click twice a second， much more than he usually does． "It may sound a bit dangerous to move around the world in this way，" he says． "But most people in the world live in fear of things that they imagine． I love hiking and mountain﹣biking． I go almost everywhere． And I've never had an accident and hurt myself．"
He is happy to be able to help more blind children to improve their life．"We've served over 10， 000 students in nearly 40 countries，" he tells the reporter．"Many students are surprised how quickly results come． Seeing isn't in the eyes． It's in the mind．"
（1）Kish moves around using sonar because ．
A． he is good at making clicks
B． it make him "see" the world

Last summer my son，Eric， left for university in another country． Our once lively house became quiet and （1） ． I missed him so much that I started sending him messages on the phone， mainly to say（2） or to give him a word of warning．
One of my messages says， "So you told me you（3） your credit card（信用卡）．If you don't try hard to mend your careless ways， one day you'll （4） and find your brain missing．"
I did get Eric's messages， but most of them were about（5） ．They were no different from the notes he used to leave （6） the white board when he was at home．
"I bought a new pair of shoes． They cost me ﹩90． Please help!"
"Money is running short（7） I've bought some books for my research paper． Help me please!"
（8） ， however， Eric begins to send me all kinds of articles： some funny， some touching and some worth（9） ． He says they will help me understand young men better and keep up with the times．
I read the articles slowly， like a（10） student，with mixed feelings as well﹣my kid， who followed me around not long ago， has now become my（11） !
So I write back， "I've read all those articles． I'll take（12） as a loving son's expectations towards his mother． He must be thinking that his mother is still （13） enough to accept new things． That makes me feel proud． What we parents lack（缺乏） most is the ability to learn and（14） ，in both body and mind．Thank you， my son．"

Populations of white﹣tailed deer（白尾鹿） are growing rapidly in many parts of the United States． As populations grow， food becomes a problem． Many deer die of hunger．Others grow up small and unhealthy． In search of food， hungry deer move closer to where humans live． They eat farm crops， vegetables and even trees． Besides， increased numbers of deer near roads can cause traffic accidents．
People admire the grace and fast speed of deer． Most people don't want these animals to be hungry and ill． Should people take action to control the growing deer populations？
Should People Take Direct Action？
Many people think that hunting （打猎） is the best way to control the animal populations． Wildlife managers will see if there's enough food in an area and decide its carrying capacity（容量）． Then hunters with licenses are sent to help control the number of deer． Hunting is usually not allowed in cities or suburbs， however．
Some people have the idea to catch the deer and move them to other places． But this method is expensive and requires finding another place that can accept the deer without breaking the balance of ecosystem．
Scientists are also working to develop chemicals to control the birth rate in deer populations． But this plan works for only one year at a time．
Should People Take Indirect Action？
Some suggest bringing in natural enemies of deer， such as wolves， lions and bears， to areas with too many deer． But these animals could also hurt dogs， cats， and even humans．Other communities have built tall fences around areas to keep out the deer．However， this is impossible for farmers．
Some people are against any kind of action， They support leaving the deer alone．Animal populations in an area naturally go up and down over time． Doing nothing means that some deer will die of hunger or illness． But finally， the population will reach a size within the carrying capacity of the environment．So， let nature go its own way．
（1）According to the passage， increased numbers of deer can bring to people in the area．
A． water pollution
B． traffic accidents
C． serious illnesses
D． growing populations
（2）Which of the following is the best to fill in the " " in the passage？
A． Should People do Nothing？
B． Should People protect the Deer？
C． Should People Take Special Action？
D． Should People Drive the Deer Away？
（3）The writer most probably agrees that ．
A． farmers can build fences to keep the deer out
B． people should leave the deer alone in the wild
C． hunting is the best way to control the deer populations
D． it's great to catch the deer and move them to other places
（4）The writer organizes this passage by ．
A．telling stories
B．using numbers
C．giving opinions
D．describing scenes
A myth is something that is not correct， but many people believe． There are a lot of myths about the human brain．
One of the biggest myths is that we only use 10 percent of our brains． The next part of the myth is that if we can learn to use the rest of our brains， then we'll be much smarter．People say this all the time， but it's absolutely not true! The truth is that although we don't know everything about the human brain， we know that each part of it has an important function（功能）． Modern scientists think the"10 percent myth" ridiculous（荒谬的）．
The other most popular myth is about being" right brained" or "left brained"．According to this myth， people who use the right side of their brains are more artistic and creative． People who use the left side of their brains are better at math and science．This is as popular as the 10 percent myth， and it's also wrong． In 2013， a study at an American university examined the right brain and left brain myth． According to the study， we use both sides of our brains equally（相等地）．
It's true that we use different parts of our brains for different things． We use our left side for language more， and our right side when we need to pay attention． But there is no evidence（证据）that creative people use the right side more of that scientific people use the left side more．
We've talked about myths， so let's look at a few interesting facts about the brain． First of all， the brain feels no pain． Second， about 75 percent of the brain is made of water． It's also the fattest organ in your body． Here's another interesting fact about the brain． Around the time you turn 18 years old， it stops growing．
（1）The underlined word "This" in Paragraph 3 refers to ．
A． the left brain myth
B． the right brain and left brain myth
C． the use of human brains
D． the study of an American university
（2）According to the facts mentioned in the passage， may use the left brain more．
A． Robert， who is learning English
B． Kate， who is drawing pictures
C． Jenny， who is designing clothes
D． Jacob， who is doing research
（3）Which of the following is TRUE about the human brain？
A． It is growing all life long．
B． The right side is used more by artists．
C． Some parts of it are not used at all．
D． Three quarters of it is made of water．
（4）The passage mainly tells about ．
A． the growing of the brain
B． different functions of the brain
C． right brain and left brain
D． myths and facts about the brain
