【題目】 “Bananas Gone Wild” beats “Potato Parcel” down in terms of the most ridiculous idea according to the vote from net friends. But both of them have proven to be completely successful. While the latter involved sending people messages written on raw potatoes, the former is all about decorating bananas and selling them for $10 every piece.

Davonte Wilson first came up with the idea of Bananas Gone Wild when he worked as a doctor in a hospital. He became popular in the workplace as a guy who spent some of his spare time drawing some faces with strange expressions on bananas, with his co-workers going as far as to play jokes on his special hobby. But it’s Wilson who is laughing all the way to the bank now, as his business is projected to earn him 100,000 dollars.

Wilson works out of his apartment, bringing bananas to life by using markers, fake beards, eyeglasses, moustache stickers and other tools. He then puts them up for sale on his website BananasGoneWild.com. He also gives customers the chance to create their own bananas by choosing the decorations themselves, starting at $9.99.

Wilson admits that he started the business on a whim, and never expected it to be so successful. Now Wilson works on about 75 bananas a day. Once he finishes, he will cover the bananas with plastic wrap（保鮮膜）and take them to the post office to ship out to customers. Wilson points out that his creations are meant to be souvenirs and his website clearly states that the bananas are not meant to be eaten.

When it comes to Wilson’s six figures a year by selling decorated bananas, I think I’m definitely in the wrong business, which is also doubted by my friends who know Wilson’s story.

【1】Wilson got the idea of “Bananas Gone Wild” ________.

A.at work

B.out of his hobby

C.when playing jokes about bananas

D.after becoming popular in the workplace

【2】What does the underlined word “whim” in paragraph 4 mean?

A.A little joke.

B.A special banana.

C.A sudden wish.

D.A great dream.

【3】Which of the following can best describe Wilson?

A.Imaginative and creative.

B.Courageous and hard-working.

C.Ridiculous but talented.

D.Smart but unconfident.

【4】What can we infer from the text?

A.“Bananas Gone Wild” and “Potato Parcel” are both created by Wilson.

B.Wilson has been expecting his “Bananas Gone Wild” to succeed.

C.The author is planning to sell decorated bananas like Wilson.

D.Wilson’s story will have a positive influence on the author’s business.

【題目】 Here’s a new reason to be an optimist. 【1】 Pessimists, of course, might have suspected this all along-but now there’s actual research behind it.

Boston-area scientists found the most optimistic people live an average of 11 to 15 percent longer than their more pessimistic peers.

In previous studies, researchers have found that more optimistic people tend to have lower risk of diseases and early death, said Lewina Lee, the lead researcher and a psychiatry professor at Boston University School of Medicine. “【2】“

Optimists generally expect good things to happen in the future and feel like they can control important outcomes. They tend to stay positive whatever comes their way.

【3】 There’s good news: The mind-set is about 25 percent hereditary (遺傳的). Lee said, meaning people have some control over their level of good thoughts. She said people can become more optimistic by imagining a future in which their goals have been reached.

To conduct their research. Lee and the other scientists compared results from two independently conducted studies-one that followed nearly 70,000 women for a decade and another that followed about 1,400 men for 30 years. 【4】 They ranked themselves on statements including in uncertain times, “I usually expect the best” or “I'm always optimistic about my future.”

The conclusion that optimistic people tend to live longer holds true regardless of other factors, Lee said.

The study leaves one question unanswered: 【5】 Although it's unclear, the researchers believe optimists may be better at regulating stressors and bouncing (反彈) back I from upsetting events. Optimists also generally have healthier habits, like exercising more and smoking less.

A.Not a natural optimist?

B.Our study took it one step further.

C.Why are optimists likely to live longer?

D.Why do women generally live longer than men?

E.An optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.

F.People self-reported their optimism on questionnaires.

G.Those who see the glass as half full, according to a new study, live longer.

【題目】閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。續(xù)寫的詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右。

Christmas Day was coming. I was just a kid then, and my big sister told me there was no Santa Claus. I fled to my Grandma because she would be straight with me. I knew Grandma always told me the truth. Grandma was home, and I told her everything. She was ready for me. “No Santa Claus !” She shouted. “Ridiculous! Don't believe it.” That rumor has been going around for years, and it makes me mad, plain mad.

“Now, put on your coat, and let's go.”

“Go where, Grandma?” I asked. “Where” turned out to be Kerby's General Store, the one store in town that had a little bit of just about everything. As we walked through its doors, Grandma handed me ten dollars. “Take this money.” she said, “and buy something for someone who needs it. I'll wait for you in the car.” Then she turned and walked out of Kerby's.

I was only eight years old. I'd often gone shopping with my mother, but never had I shopped for anything all by myself. The store seemed big and crowded, full of people competing to finish their Christmas shopping. For a few moments I just stood there, confused, holding that ten﹣dollar bill, wondering what to buy and who to buy it for. I suddenly thought of Bobby Decker, who was a kid with bad breath and messy hair. He sat right behind me in Mrs Pollock's grade﹣two class.

Bobby Decker didn't have a coat. I knew that because he never went out for recess during the winter. His mother always wrote a note, telling the teacher that he had a cough, but we kids knew that Bobby Decker didn't have a cough, and he didn't have a coat. I would buy Bobby Decker a coat! I settled on a red one, which looked really warm, and he would like that.

“Is this a Christmas present for someone?” the lady behind the counter asked kindly, as I laid my ten dollars down. “Yes.”

The nice lady smiled at me, put the coat in a bag and wished me a Merry Christmas.

Para 1:

That evening, Grandma helped me wrap the coat in Christmas paper.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Para 2:

Grandma and I waited breathlessly for Bobby Decker's front door to open and finally it opened.

【題目】 To address the plastic pollution troubling the world’s seas and waterways, Cornell University chemists have developed a new polymer (聚合物) that can degrade (降解) plastic when exposed to ultraviolet radiation, according to the research published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.

“We have created a new plastic that has the mechanical properties required by commercial fishing gear. If it eventually gets lost in the water environment, this material can degrade on a realistic time scale,” said lead researcher Bryce Lipinski, professor of chemistry and chemical biology at Cornell University. “This material could effectively reduce persistent plastic accumulation in the environment.”

Commercial fishing contributes to about half of all floating plastic waste that ends up in the oceans. Fishing nets and ropes are primarily made from three kinds of polymers, none of which easily degrade. “While research of degradable plastics has received much attention in recent years,” Lipinski said, “obtaining a material with a mechanical strength comparable to commercial plastic remains a difficult challenge.”

Coates and his research team have spent the past 15 years developing the new plastic called isotactic polypropylene oxide, or iPPO. While its original discovery was in 1949, the mechanical strength of this material was unknown before this recent work. The high isotacticity and polymer chain length of their material makes it different from previous plastics and provides its mechanical strength.

Lipinski and other scientists want no race of the polymer to be left in the environment. He notes there is precedent (先例) for the biodegradation of small chains of iPPO which could effectively make it disappear and ongoing efforts aim to prove this.

【1】What is the feature about the new polymer?

A.It can solve the problem of plastic consumption.

B.It can degrade plastic waste in the sea water.

C.It has been developed to solve plastic pollution.

D.It has been developed to lower fishing costs.

【2】What can we infer from paragraph 3?

A.It requires great effort to invent the new plastic.

B.Fishing should be forbidden in the sea.

C.Fishing nets and ropes are not the major pollution source.

D.Degradable plastics were not paid attention to until recent years.

【3】What did the recent study find about iPPO?

A.Its original discovery.B.Its mechanical properties.

C.Its complex structure.D.Its mechanical strength.

【4】What is Lipinski’s attitude towards the future of iPPO?

A.Doubtful.B.Promising.

C.Unconcerned.D.Disapproval.

【題目】 A man in northwest Spain, 54, died after being stung by a “ murder hornet (大黃蜂)”, according to a report. The man from Villestro in Galicia was stung in the eyebrow by an Asian giant hornet while tending to a nest close to a beehive he owned. The deadly insects from Asia were first spotted last weekend in Washington State. Such reports have caused a national panic that may lead to more “needless” damage to those essential insect populations, the experts warned. “Millions and millions of innocent native insects are going to die as a result of this,” Dr. Doug Yanega, a professor at the University of California, Riverside, told the Los Angeles Times. “People in China, Korea and Japan have lived side by side with these hornets for hundreds of years and it has not caused the collapse of human society there. My colleagues in Japan, China and Korea are just rolling their eyes in disbelief at what kind of snowflakes we are.”

Following the initial hornet sightings on May 2, the Washington State Department of Agriculture issued instructions on how to trap the hornets, stressing that so far, the hornets have been sighted only within the state. “There are no known sightings of Asian giant hornets anywhere else in the United States and trapping for them there will likely do more harm than good. PLEASE DO NOT TRAP FOR ASIAN GIANT HORNETS IF YOU LIVE OUTSIDE OF WASHINGTON STATE,” the warning read. The concern for bees has originated from their role in the general ecosystem: Bees are responsible for pollinating (授粉) approximately 75 percent of the fruits, nuts and vegetables grown in the United States, according to the U. S. Geological

Numerous bug experts said that what they call “murder hornet” reminds them of the 1970s public when Africanized honeybees, nicknamed “killer bees”, started moving north from South America. However, they just kill people in rare situations.

【1】What does the underlined word “snowflakes” in Paragraph 1 refer to?

A.People favoring cold weather.

B.People with a habit of rolling eyes.

C.Someone easily getting mad or offended.

D.Small pieces of frozen water falling from the sky.

【2】Why does trapping hornets do more harm than good?

A.Because these insects seldom kill people.

B.Because insects do harm to the general ecosystem.

C.Because they are seen only in Washington state.

D.Because most plants in America depend on bees to grow.

【3】What is the purpose of writing the text?

A.To teach the public ways to trap hornets.

B.To warn the public to stay away from hornets.

C.To appeal to people to live in harmony with hornets.

D.To remind people of the past killing cases by hornets.

【4】Where is the text most likely from?

A.An essay.B.A news report.

C.A tourist brochure.D.A geography textbook.
