AThanks to the interwebs,we can click and click and have a good laugh!We’ll have everything you need to howl like a monkey and bark like a seal.So,click on,internauts,and be ready! traces its origins to the print magazine Cracked,which started in1958.But Cracked has soon grown to become the most popular comedy site on the Internet,drawing over a billion views in2010.The website also runs in a wide range,featuring photo editing contests, sketches and films,and reader contests.For laughs, is your one-stop shop!2.Funny or DieAny website owned by Will Ferrell would already be in the running.But the debut video,The Landlord,made Funny or Die a must-click website.Funny or Die also manages to remain fresh and interesting by being so interactive,allowing viewers to choose which videos stay and which ones die.The website has even made the big time,partnering with HBO(Home Box Office)in a hopefully plentiful combination of the minds between the best that TV and the Internet both have to offer.3.CollegeHumorWe have trouble sitting down for a90seconds,much less90minutes!College Humor seems incredibly skillful at catering to(迎合)such an ADD-riddled audience.Like Funny or Die, College Humor made it to the big time,though the College Humor Show only ran for a single season on MTV.The site also serves as the big sales store for T-shirts,which answers the question,“Where can I find a Honey Badger T-shirt?”4.9GAGYou know those black and white photos you’ve been seeing all over your Facebook feed(系统)?Well,if you ever wondered where they came from,then you need look no further than9GAG! And if you’re looking to do some terribly light reading with the click of a finger,then9GAG is your best bet.Relatively new to the game,9GAG’s viewer contributions and interactions look to make it an internet player for sometime to come.There you have it,top4comedy websites.Every last one is worth a few laughter and a good many clicks.21.What do Funny or Die and College Humor have in common?A.They only ran for a single season with HBO.B.They serve as the big sales store for T-shirts.C.They have ever made the big time,combining both the Internet and TV.D.They allow viewers to choose which videos stay and which ones die.22.If you are creative with black-and-white photo effects,you may go for________.B.Funny or DieC.College HumorD.9GAG23.Which statement is TRUE of the four websites? also runs in a wide range such as photo editing contests.B.Funny or Die is owned by the print magazine Cracked,which started in1958.C.College Humor offers humors that only last for90seconds or90minutes.D.9GAG is not suited to those looking to do some terribly light reading.BAlthough Paris is often considered the city of romance,close to a million adults who call it home are single.Many single people say that France’s capital is one of the most difficult places to meet people.The complaints(抱怨)of this lonely group have inspired a new phenomenon known as“supermarket dating.”At Galerie Lafayette Gourmet,singles can shop for more than just the items on their grocery list.They can look for someone who has blue eyes,brown hair,and is1.8 meters tall,or whatever may be on their romantic shopping list.At this Paris location,single people of all ages can schedule their shopping for Thursday nights between6:30and9:00p.m.When they walk through the door,they pick up a purple basketto advise that they are looking for love.They try to arrive early because the baskets disappear quickly,and then they have to wait in line for their turn to wander the store aisles(过道).With purple baskets in hand,shoppers can consider their romantic options while they pick out their groceries.When they are ready to pay,they can go to the checkout line for singles who want to chat.Most of the people who look for love in the supermarket are skeptical of Internet dating. They know that it is easy to embellish（美化）one’s appearance or to lie about one’s age over the Internet.The supermarket,on the other hand,is considered a safe and casual environment in which to meet a potential match.In addition,what one finds in another’s grocery basket can say a thing or two about that person’s character or intentions.Buying pet food can be a man’s way of showing a potential match that he has a sensitive side.Women who fill their baskets with low-fat food show their healthy style of living.These ways it’s possible to find much more than food at a grocery store.24.What do many single people in Paris complain about?A.The difficulty in meeting people.B.The idea of supermarket dating.C.The items on their grocery list.D.The inconvenience in shopping.25.Which of the following can be inferred but is not clearly stated in the second paragraph?A.The dating supermarket is located in Paris.B.The dating supermarket is open only on Thursday evenings.C.People looking for love must get a basket of a particular colorD.The dating supermarket has very good business.26.How do love shoppers meet one another?A.They schedule their meeting in advance.B.They go through a special checkout.C.They pick out their groceries with great care.D.They dial the phone numbers on their shopping items.27.Why do the people prefer the supermarket dating to Internet dating?A.The supermarket dating is more convenient.B.The supermarket dating is more fun.C.The supermarket dating is more trustworthy.D.The supermarket dating is more economical.CIf you live in America in the21st century you’ll probably have to listen to a lot of people tell you how busy they are.It’s become the default response when you ask anyone how they are doing:“Busy!””Crazy busy!”.It is pretty obviously,a boast disguised as a complaint.And the common response is a kind of congratulation:"That’s a good problem to have,”or“Better than the opposite.”Notice it isn’t generally people pulling back-to-back shifts in the ICU or commuting by bus to three minimum-wage jobs who tell you how busy they are.What those people are is not busy but tired.Exhausted!Dead on their feet.It’s almost always people whose busyness is purely self-imposed:work and obligations they’ve taken on voluntarily,classes and activities they’ve “encouraged”their kids to participate in.They’re busy because of their own ambition or drive or anxiety,because they’re addicted to busyness and dread that they might have to face in its absence.Almost everyone I know is busy.They feel anxious and guilty when they aren’t either working or doing something to promote their work.It’s something they have chosen.Busyness serves as a kind of existential reassurance(令人安心的保证），a measure against emptiness, obviously your life cannot possibly be silly or tiny or meaningless if you are so busy,completely booked,in demand every hour of the day.However,idleness is not just a vacation.It is as necessary to the brain as vitamin D is to the body,and deprived of it we suffer a mental affliction as ugly as rickets.The space and quiet that idleness provides is a necessary condition for standing back from life and seeing it whole,for making unexpected connections and waiting for the wild summer lightning strikes of inspiration.“Idle dreaming is often the essence of what we do,”wrote Thomas Pynchon.Archimedes’“Eureka”in the bath,Newton’s apple:history is full of stories of inspirations that come in idle moments.28.When many Americans say“Crazy busy”,they mean________.A．they are really tired of their present situationB．they are really proud of their present lifeC．they are complaining about their current workD．their life are full of all kinds of problems29.Which of the following is purely self-imposed busyness?①pulling back-to-back shifts in the ICU②commuting by bus to minimum-wage jobs③work and obligations they’ve taken on voluntarily④classes and activities they’ve“encouraged”their kids to participate inA.①②B.③④C.①③D.②④30.The writer mentions Archimedes’“Eureka”and Newton’s apple to show that__________. A．history is full of interesting storiesB．Archimedes and Newton were very busy,so they made great discoveriesC．people may get inspiration when they are idleD．inspirations come from hard work31.According to the last paragraph,what is the writer’s attitude towards idleness?A.Approving.B.Opposing.C.Neutral.D. Uninterested.DOpen data sharers are still in the minority in many fields.Although many researchers broadly agree that public access to raw data would accelerate science,most are reluctant to post the results of their own labors online.Some communities have agreed to share online—geneticists,for example,post DNA sequences at the GenBank repository(库),and astronomers are accustomed to accessing images of galaxies and stars from,say,the Sloan Digital Sky Survey,a telescope that has observed some500 million objects—but these remain the exception,not the rule.Historically,scientists have objected to sharing for many reasons:it is a lot of work;until recently,good databases did not exist;grant funders were not pushing for sharing;it has been difficult to agree on standards for formatting data; and there is no agreed way to assign credit for data.But the barriers are disappearing,in part because journals and funding agencies worldwide are encouraging scientists to make their data st year,the Royal Society in London saidin its report that scientists need to“shift away from a research culture where data is viewed as a private preserve”.Funding agencies note that data paid for with public money should be public information,and the scientific community is recognizing that data can now be shared digitally in ways that were not possible before.To match the growing demand,services are springing up to make it easier to publish research products online and enable other researchers to discover and cite them.Although calls to share data often concentrate on the moral advantages of sharing,the practice is not purely altruistic(利他的).Researchers who share get plenty of personal benefits, including more connections with colleagues,improved visibility and increased citations.The most successful sharers—those whose data are downloaded and cited the most often—get noticed,and their work gets used.For example,one of the most popular data sets on multidisciplinary repository Dryad is about wood density around the world；it has been downloaded5,700times. Co-author Amy Zanne thinks that users probably range from climate-change researchers wanting to estimate how much carbon is stored in biomass,to foresters looking for information on different grades of timber.“I’d much prefer to have my data used by the maximum number of people to ask their own questions,”she says.“It’s important to allow readers and reviewers to see exactly how you arrive at your results.Publishing data and code allows your science to be reproducible.”Even people whose data are less popular can benefit.By making the effort to organize and label files so others can understand them,scientists become more organized and better disciplined themselves,thus avoiding confusion later on.32.What do many researchers generally accept?A.It is imperative(必要的)to protect scientists’patents.B.Repositories are essential to scientific research.C.Open data sharing is most important to medical science.D.Open data sharing is conducive(有利的)to scientific advancement.33.According to the passage,what might hinder(阻碍)open data sharing?A.The fear of massive copying.B.The lack of a research culture.C.The belief that research data is private intellectual property.D.The concern that certain agencies may make a profit out of it.34.What helps lift some of the barriers to open data sharing?A.The ever-growing demand for big data.B.The advancement of scientific technology.C.The changing attitude of journals and funders.D.The trend of social and economic development.35.Dryad serves as an example to show how open data sharing________.A.is becoming increasingly popularB.benefits sharers and users alikeC.makes researchers successfulD.saves both money and labor第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AFor the Travel section, writers and editors selected special items to profile from a dozen cities.Brussels: Chocolate.Nearly half the chocolate consumed in the world is eaten in Europe, and Belgium---with average consumption of 14.99 pounds per person a year---certainly covers its fair share. While Brussels, the country’s capital, is home to hundreds of chocolate makers, what makes a visit necessary is the rich heritage of traditional chocolate makers.Budapest: Paprika(红辣椒)The job of preparing Hungarian paprika was once considered too dangerous for mothers to do. A woman who touched her children upon returning from work risked burning them, so only the elderly and unmarried were allowed the delicate task of separating the skin from the flesh. But by the early 20th century, sweeter varieties and a machine turned paprika into a common feature of all Hungarian cuisine.Lisbon: Tiles(瓷砖)Is there a bluer country than Portugal? The blue sky and Atlantic Ocean embrace the land. The blue moods of Fado, the dark folk music, form the national soundtrack. And all across Portugal, the typically--- blue designs of azulejos----ceramic tiles---are spread across churches, castles, palaces, university halls, parks. The result is a beautiful land of Christian saints, Portuguese kings, historical glories, aristocrats(贵族) at leisure, seascapes and so on.Madrid: GuitarsWalking into one the Madrid’s storied guitar makers’ workshops can feel like stepping into the past. Curly wood shavings, from the palest pine to ebony, fall onto the floor as artisans(工匠)turn some humble wood into works of art. It’s painstaking work---all done by hand---with classical guitar models and the methods of making them changing little over the last century.21. What does the job of preparing Hungarian paprika suggest?A. The popularity of Hungarian peppersB. The difficult of processing peppersC. The unique tradition in BudapestD. The hot level of Hungarian peppers22. Which city can be a splendid setting for a film?A. BrusselsB. BudapestC. LisbonD. Madrid23. What’s the similarity of the four items?A. They’re all treasures of a cityB. They all date back several centuriesC. Their production processes are all painstakingD. They all win popularity in most European countriesBThe best family vacation that ever had was going on a road trip to Myrtle Beach. The trip was for 2 weeks during the March break from school. This trip was probably about 20 years ago so it was before the time of things like portable video games and being able to watch movies in the back seat.So to pass the many hours of travel my brother and I had to entertain ourselves and each other. My mum would set the back set up so that it was out own little playroom. She would pack everything up in the feet well so that we had a big level area to play in. We would play cards and board games.When it got to the point that we were at each other’s throat s we would be sent back to out own side of the seat and would be forced to either nap or read by ourselves until we could be friendly to each other again. I can remember us playing for quitesome time when we turned the back seat into a spaceship and travelled around the earth.Another time we turned it into a kitchen and had a bake-off（食品烘烤赛）. But the thing that I remember the most and that gave us many hours of enjoyment was using each other’s faces as silly Plasticine(普萊斯蒂辛橡皮泥) and making funny faces. We would see how far we could stretch each other’s mouth open, see how thin we could make the other’s eye by pulling on it. We would keep going until one of us begged for mercy because we had to give our faces a rest.So while I can remember us having a great time on the beach, laughing a lot trying to put the tent up in the rain, what I remember the most of that trip and what always makes me smile the most is remembering the pain that our faces would be in after the trip.24. What did the author do when traveling to Myrtle Beach?A. Watch moviesB. Play video gamesC. Have fun with his brotherD. Pack things up to amuse himself25. What does the author mean by saying “we were at each other’s throats”?A. We were fighting with each otherB. We used up our skillsC. We were quite out of breathD. We were about to fall asleep26. What impressed the author most during the trip?A. Playing cards and board gamesB. Pulling each other’s faces and eyesC. Having a cooking competitionD. Playing with silly Plasticine27. Which of the following titles would best suit the passage ?A. An Unforgettable Family TravelB. What Is the Most Meaningful JourneyC. The Good Old Day Never to Be ForgottenD. How to Kill Time while Traveling in the PastCMayor Bill de Blasio designated(指定) the Lunar New Year an official public school holiday in New York City in June, 2015.The move came after de Blasio in March, 2015 declared school holidays on the most-observed holiday in Islam, Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. De Blasio, making good on a promise made during his 2013 mayoral f on , said students would also have a day off on the Lunar New Year, and not long ago the Asian holiday took place on February 8, 2018."About 15% of the city’s school system is of Asian descent(血统), and many student, have been taking the day off as a sick day”said State Senator Daniel Squadron. “It’s a big deal,” he said, whose district includes Manhattan’s Chinatown. “Families have had to choose between their most important cultural celebration and missing a day of school.”The city’s Department of Education had been working on the practical arrangements for adding another holiday while maintaining the legal 180 school days. The problem was solved by combining two half days that previously did not count towards the total to form a single full day that can be counted towards the total. After San Francisco, New York is the second major urban school district to add the Lunar New Year to the official school calendar.“This holiday is not about kids just getting a day off from school,” said Assemblyman Ron Kim. “It’s about the City of New York telling hundreds of Asian-American societies that America is a cultural melting pot.”Kim said recognizing the holiday is one way of pushing back against feelings of isolation and marginalization(边缘化) felt by the Asian-American community.28. What does the underlined party in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Make use ofB. Stand byC. Keep up withD. Go against29. How does New York make the Lunar New Year an official public school holiday?A. By cancelling a legal 1-day holidayB. By copying the way of San FranciscoC. By adding a new full day to the school calendarD. By changing the legal 180 school days30. What do we know from Ron Kim’s words?A. He’s opposed to the new school holidayB. Asian culture is valued most in New YorkC. Asian culture is part of the American societyD. The holiday wipes out Asian Americans’ isolation31. What’s the best title for this passage?A. A new public school holiday in New YorkB. A promise made by the mayor of New YorkC. Cultural differences between America and AsiaD. A revolution of the Lunar New Year in New YorkDEarlier this week, I wrapped up (圆满完成) a 5-day trip in San Francisco. I woke up a few hours before sunrise, drove through the darkness and out of the city, hiked for 30 minutes to the top of a hill overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge, and snapped(拍摄) this photo. As I stood there soaking in the early morning light, I was reminded of an important lesson.When I arrived in San Francisco, I told myself, “Just take photos as you do other things.” My primary goal was to meet with friends and so I figured I could take pictures as we walked around the city. This resulted in exactly zero photos worth sharing. I had vague ideas like, “I’d like to do some street photography,” but I never went out with the intent of photographing something specific. Finally, on the last morning, I went out with the intent of capturing a specific picture and I ended up with something worth sharing. My mistake was that I assumed that because I wanted to take photos, I would end up getting a desirable result.How often do you this in your own life? We go to the gym to “work out” without trying to become better at something specific. We wish that we were more creative, but never work on a particular project. When you commit to a task, however, then the next step is obvious. You want to take a picture of the Golden Gate Bridge at sunrise? Next step: find a good spot. You’ve found a good spot? Next step : wake up early and drive there.This is perhaps the most shocking thing: if box yourself in, then you’ll begin to break out and achieve something greater than you ever imagined.32. What’s the author’s original purpose of the trip?A. To take picturesB. To attend lessonsC. To visit friendsD. To enjoy sunrise33. What lesson did the author learn?A. A given task leads to achievementB. Stick to your own decisionC. Get ready for challengesD. Hard work pays off34. What are you advised to do first when you want to get stronger physically?A. Make a detailed outlineB. Go to work out immediatelyC. Discuss the ways with coachesD. Choose a certain muscle group35. What’s the function of the last paragraph?A. To introduce a new topicB. To draw a conclusionC. To make a suggestionD. To ask readers to reflect on something第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
