At the 31 of Palo Duro Canyon (峡谷) State Park, I 32 a job advertisement hiring park hosts. The po

18、sition offered a 33 , permanent campsite in the park, and 34 , the hosts served as a link between the parks guests and the rangers (护林人).

20、all right. The next day we met with the people who ran the park. They explained our 40 and gave us a beautiful campsite. That evening, 41 , we learned about the canyon 42 . They were strong and cold, rocking our little camping truck violently, and we lay 43 in the dark until the winds died away. 44

21、the weeks that followed, we learned to survive in our truck and 45the little money my wife 46 by substitute teaching.

I learned that shouting and threats of punishment would result in a disaster. Coming up against their behaviour could only make

27、 the job harder and their behaviour more extreme. I found something that worked, though.There was a very naughty boy in the nursery and a teacher who was generally very confident with the children was asked to take charge of him. One day the boy joined a session in the room next to mine. His appeara

28、nce created an atmosphere of tension. He spent the entire session running around, hitting and kicking, and destroying property.I was in the craft room working with some other children when my co-worker told me that this boys teacher was in tears, and could not get control of the situation. As we wer

29、e talking, the boy ran in. I told my co-worker that I would take care of him.I closed the door. He was full of energy, throwing things around and making a huge mess. But I could see that he was doing all these to annoy me. He needed connection, and this was the only way he knew how to ask for it. So

30、 I sat back down and kept quiet. Then he slowed down and began making a rocket. I talked to him about it. We continued like this for a few minutes before I slipped into the conversation:“So what happened today?”It was purely a question, no blame or anger in my tone. I believe that if I had criticize

31、d him, the gate that was slowly opening would have shut firmly closed. He told me that the teacher didnt let him do what he knew well due to safety but asked him to do what he disliked. He also admitted that he had enjoyed making her run around and saw it as a game. I explained that his teacher had

32、not seen it as a game and was very upset. This again was stated simply as a fact. I suggested that next time he had a session, he talk about what he hoped to do at the start, which might be easier for everyone. He agreed and was quiet for a moment. Then he looked at me with tears in his eyes before

33、quietly asking if he could go to find his teacher to apologize.51. The boy made trouble for his teacher because he _.A. was accused of destroying property B. was told not to yell at other childrenC. was made to do things against his will D. was blamed for creating an air of tension52. Why didnt the

34、author do anything about the boys bad behavior at first?A. She didnt want to make it worse. B. She didnt mind the huge mess at all.C. She was tired of shouting and threats. D. She hadnt thought of a coping strategy.53. The author managed to get the boy to talk to her by _.A. playing games with him B

35、. giving him a good suggestionC. describing his teachers feelings D. avoiding making critical remarks54. Why did the boy have tears in his eyes in the end?A. He was sorry about his reputation. B. He was regretful about his behavior.C. He was fearful of the authors warning. D. He was sad for the auth

36、ors misunderstanding. BLondons newest skyscraper (摩天大楼) is called the Shard and it cost about 430 million pounds to build. At a height of almost 310 metres, it is the tallest building in Europe. The Shard has completely changed the appearance of London. However, not everyone thinks that it is a chan

37、ge for the better.The Shard was designed by the famous Italian architect Renzo Piano. When he began designing the Shard for London, Piano wanted a very tall building that looked like a spire (尖顶). He wanted the glass surfaces to reflect the sky and the city. The sides of the building arent regular.

38、So the building has an unusual shape. It looks like a very thin, sharp piece of broken glass. And that is how the building got the name: the Shard. Piano says that the spire shape of the Shard is part of a great London tradition. The shape reminds him of the spires of the churches of London or the t

39、all masts (桅杆) of the ships that were once on the river Thames.The Shard has 87 floors. At the top, there is an observatory. At the moment the building is empty, but eventually there will be a five-star hotel. There will also be top quality restaurants, apartments and offices.Before building work be

40、gan, a lot of people didnt want the Shard though the plans were approved. Now they are still unhappy about the Shard. Some critics say that such a tall skyscraper might be good in a city like New York, but not in London. They say that the best thing about the Shard is its spire shape. But that is th

41、e only thing. There is no decoration, only flat surfaces. The Egyptians did that 4,500 years ago. They also think the Shard is too big for London. It destroys the beauty of the city.Other critics dont like what the Shard seems to represent. They say that the Shard shows how London is becoming more u

42、nequal. Only very rich people can afford to buy the expensive private apartments and stay in the hotel. But the people who live near the Shard are among the poorest in London. So the Shard seems a symbol of the division in society between the very rich and the poor.The Shard now dominates the London

43、 skyline. It is not certain, however, that ordinary London citizens will ever accept it as a valuable addition to the city.55. Londons newest skyscraper is called the Shard because of _.A. its cost B. its size C. its shape D. its height56. When he designed the Shard, Piano wanted it to _.A. change L

44、ondons skyline B. inherit Londons traditionC. imitate the Egyptian style D. attract potential visitors57. The critics who refer to social division think the Shard _.A. is only preferred by the rich B. is intended for wealthy peopleC. is far away from the poor area D. is popular only with Londoners58

45、. Which would be the best title for the passage?A. The Shard: Cheers and Claps B. The Shard: Work of a Great ArchitectC. The Shard: New Symbol of London? D. The Shard: A Change for the Better? CWorking with a group of baboons (狒狒) in the Namibian desert, Dr. Alecia Carter of the Department of Zoolog

46、y, Cambridge University set baboons learning tasks involving a novel food and a familiar food hidden in a box. Some baboons were given the chance to watch another baboon who already knew how to solve the task, while others had to learn for themselves. To work out how brave or anxious the baboons wer

47、e, Dr. Carter presented them either with a novel food or a threat in the form of a model of a poisonous snake.She found that personality had a major impact on learning. The braver baboons learnt, but the shy ones did not learn the task although they watched the baboon perform the task of finding the

48、 novel food just as long as the brave ones did. In effect, despite being made aware of what to do, they were still too shy to do what the experienced baboon did.The same held true for anxious baboons compared with calm ones. The anxious individuals learnt the task by observing others while those who

49、 were relaxed did not, even though they spent more time watching.This mismatch between collecting social information and using it shows that personality plays a key role in social learning in animals, something that has previously been ignored in studies on how animals learn to do things. The findin

50、gs are significant because they suggest that animals may perform poorly in cognitive (认知的) tasks not because they arent clever enough to solve them, but because they are too shy or nervous to use the social information.The findings may impact how we understand the formation of culture in societies t

51、hrough social learning. If some individuals are unable to get information from others because they dont associate with the knowledgeable individuals, or they are too shy to use the information once they have it, information may not travel between all group members, preventing the formation of a cult

52、ure based on social learning.59. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. The design of Dr. Carters research. B. The results of Dr. Carters research.C. The purpose of Dr. Carters research. D. The significance of Dr. Carters research.60. According to the research, which baboons are more likely to

53、complete a new learning task?A. Those that have more experience. B. Those that can avoid potential risks.C. Those that like to work independently. D. Those that feel anxious about learning.61. Which best illustrates the “mismatch” mentioned in Paragraph 4?A. Some baboons are intelligent but slow in

54、learning. B. Some baboons are shy but active in social activities.C. Some baboons observe others but dont follow them.D. Some baboons perform new tasks but dont concentrate.62. Dr. Carters findings indicate that our culture might be formed through _.A. storing information B. learning from each other

55、C. understanding different people D. travelling between social groupsDYouve flown halfway around the world; youve sniffed out this place that nobody in Falongland or Thailand seems to have ever heard of; so what on earth is there to do here? You consider this question as you sink into an old wooden

56、beach chair that holds you above the sand.It was a long journey from Bangkok to Huaplee. By the time you found the bus station and got yourself sorted out, it took almost as long as the flight from Falongland.Huaplee is located just south of Hua Hin, about two hundred kilometres from Bangkok, down t

57、he west side of the Gulf of Thailand. Not many tourists find this place, and the ones that do wonder if finding it has been their purpose all along.Theres an apparent laziness that surrounds you here. Its what this place offers, and its free of charge. The small waves that tap the shoreline seem to

58、slow everything down. You settle into your beach chair in preparation for a long rest. You sit there and watch the sea.Its early afternoon, so the cook comes out and asks what youd like to eat this evening. Before long hes rushed off to the market to buy the ingredients for whatever it was that you

59、orderedevery meal fresh and to order. No menu here.There is no poolside noise here but just that wonderfully warm, clear blue sea. Theres no street noise. The only sounds are the murmurs of nature.For now you just count your blessings (福祉), listing them in the sand with your toe (脚趾). You dont have

60、to worry about being late for work. You dont have to do anything.The beach to your right stretches off to the horizon (地平线), slowly narrowing to nothingness only to re-emerge again on your left, now steadily widening until it covers the chair beneath you. Sand to your left and sand to your right; it

61、s unbroken, endless. No start, no end, just sand, sun, and peace. Step off it, and you re-enter the world of traffic, stress, work, and hurry.Normally youre the type who cant sit still for more than ten minutes, but youre on Huaplee Lazy Beach now and, in the right frame of mind, it stretches all the way around the world.“How could it take me so long to find it?” you wonder.63.
