For more than 25 years, he travelled extensively through Tibet and Yunnan, Gansu, and Sichuan provinces in China before finally leaving in 1949.In 1924, Harvard sent Joseph Francis Rock on a treasure hunt through Chinas southwestern provincesthe Wild West of their day. But gold and silver werent his task : Rock, a distinguished botanist, sought only to fill his bags with all the seeds, saplings, and shrubs he could find. During his three-year expedition, he collected 20,000 specimens for the Arnold Arboretum(阿诺德植物园).Botany, though, was just one of Rocks strengths. As an ethnologist(民族学者), he took hundreds of photographs of the Naxi, a tribe in Yunnan province, recording their now-lost way of life for both Harvard and National Geographic, and took notes for an eventual 500-page dictionary of their language. His hand-drawn map of his travels through Chinas “Cho-Ni” territory, in the Harvard Map Collection, includes more than a thousand rivers, towns, and mountains indicated in both English and Chinese, and was so well made that the U.S. government used it to plan aerial missions in World War II.Scientist, linguist, cartographer, photographer, writerRock was not a wallflower in any sense. Arrogant and self-possessed, he would walk into a village or warlords place “as if he owned the place,” said Lisa Pearson, the Arboretums head librarian.In declaring his successful return under the headline “Seeking Strange Flowers, in the Far Reaches of the World” , the Boston Evening Transcript ran a large photo of the daring explorer wearing in a woolly coat and fox-skin hat. “In discussing his heroism including hair-raising escapes from death either from mountain slides, snow slides and robber armies, he waves the idea away as if it is of no importance.”The Arboretum and Rock parted ways after 1927, mainly because his trip cost Harvard a fortuneabout $900,000 in todays dollars. Fortunately, many of his specimens, many of his amazing photos, and his great stories remain.21.What is the passage mainly about? A. Rocks service for the U.S government. B. Rocks cooperation with Harvard. C. Rocks work as a botanist. D. Rocks exploration in Southwest China.22.What contribution did Rock make to the USA besides collecting new plants and specimens? A. He traveled through some uncivilized places in China. B. His hand-drawn map was used in WWII. C. He showed heroism by escaping difficulties. D. He made headlines in Boston Evening News. 23. How did Rock respond when people mentioned his heroic deeds? A. Excitedly. B. Proudly. C. Calmly D. Nervously. 24. What caused Rock to stop work for The Arboretum? A. The vast expense. B. The dangerous journey. C. The challenging tasks. D. The unknown world.BYouve heard of the fat suit and the pregnancy suit; now meet AGNESthe old person suit. AGNES stands for “Age Gain Now Empathy（换位体验）System” and was designed by researchers at MITs AgeLab to let you know what it feels likephysicallyto be 75 years old. “The business of old age demands new tools, ” said Joseph Coughlin, director of the AgeLab. “While focus groups and observations and surveys can help you understand what the older consumer needs and wants, young marketers never get that Ah ha! moment of having difficulty opening a jar, or getting in and out of a car. Thats what AGNES provides. ” www.sdzxlm.comCoughlin and his team carefully adjusted the suit to make the wearer just as uncomfortable as an old person who has spent a lifetime eating poorly and not doing much exercise. Special shoes provide a feeling of imbalance, while braces on the knees and elbows limit joint mobility. Gloves give the feeling of decreased strength and mobility in the hands and wrists, and earplugs make it difficult to hear high-pitched sounds and soft tones. A helmet with straps（带）attached to it presses the spine（脊柱）. AGNES has been used most recently by a group of students working on a design of an updated walker. By wearing the suit they could see for themselves what design and materials would make the most sense for a physically limited older person. Coughlin said the suit has also been used by clothing companies, car companies and retail goods companies to help them understand the limitations of an older consumer. An unexpected benefit theyve found with AGNES is that it has become a powerful tool to get younger people to invest in their long-term health.25. AGNES has been developed mainly to _. A. make the users more comfortable B. let people understand the old betterC. help old people move more quickly D. remind the young to take care of their health26. According to the article, young marketers never _. A. feel the same way as old people do B. see the efforts old people make to put on clothesC. ask what old people need and want D. say “Ah ha!” when they meet with difficulty27. The third paragraph mainly talks about _. A. how researchers feel wearing AGNESB. how AGNES has been developedC. how people act when they are old D. how AGNES works28.The underlined phrase “an updated walker” in the last paragraph most likely refers to _. A. someone who travels a lotB. a physically limited old personC. some equipment that helps old people walkD. a company providing service to the old CWhat exactly is intelligence? There arent any easy answers. Despite the progress that has been made in genetics and psychology, human intelligence has remained one of the most controversial areas of modern science，until now, that is, for the discovery of a gene(基因) linked to intelligence has made the experts think again.Robert Plomin of the Institute of Psychiatry in London and his colleagues in the US have been looking into genetic make-up. From their research, they have discovered that a slightly different gene is more common in those with a high IQ. Plomin analyzed DNA from two groups of 51 children aged between 6 and 15. What he found was that the first group had an IQ of 136, putting them in the top 5% of the population, while the other group had an average IQ of 103. An analysis of their genes showed that 32% of children in the higher group had the gene in question, while only 16% in the second group did. However, there is a lot more research to be done, and Plomin himself is cautious at this early stage. He suggests that there are probably many genes that contribute to intelligence, rather than just one.Several studies have shown a strong link between IQ and career success, although some psychologists remain unconvinced about this. Professor Michael Rowe, who has written a book called Genius Explained, is one of these. “The people with the highest IQs are not usually the ones who do best in their careers.”Many psychologists now believe that when it comes to intelligence, IQ isnt everything. Many alternative views have been put forward recently. One example is the idea of multiple intelligences, which was developed in the 1980s by Harvard psychologist Howard Gardner. This offers a much broader view than the IQ theory, including creativity and communication skills as relevant factors(因素) in intelligence.Tony Buzan, brain expert and author of Master your Memory, is enthusiastic about this belief, arguing that true geniuses(天才) do indeed appear to combine high levels of each type of intelligence. He lists Alexander the Great, Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein as examples. At the same time, Buzan believes that everyone can develop their intelligence, only if they take the trouble to exercise their brain. Perhaps theres hope for us all!29. What is the topic of the passage?A. The relationship between genes and intelligence.B. IQ benefits a lot from high intelligence.C. How to develop intelligence.D. What makes intelligence.30. Why does the author use data in Paragraph 2?A. To make a suggestion. B. To draw a conclusion.C. To prove an idea.D. To give an example.31. What can we learn from the passage?A. Robert Plomin confirms genes have something in common. B. Howard Gardner thinks intelligence includes various factors.C. Michael Rowe approves of a strong link between IQ and career.D. Tony Buzan agrees geniuses exercise brain to improve intelligence.32. What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The development of intelligence.B. The idea of multiple intelligences.C. IQ isnt everything for intelligence. D. Alternative views have been put forward.DAccording to a report by the United Nations，54 percent of the worlds population lives in urban areas and it predicts that by 2050，this figure will have increased to around 70 percent.But as more and more people migrate from the countryside to the city to get better opportunities，they can end up with nowhere to liveThis is true in places such as Rio de Janeiro，where migrants cant rent or buy a home，and they end up building their own communities and houses on unoccupied land.These are called shanty townspoor communities where the houses are built out of cheap materialsand often dont have any electricity or water supplyThese are，of course，not the megacities(大城市)of the future we want to seeSome serious urban planning is needed to make our cities of the future good，safe and modern places to live inThis involves improving the infrastructure(基础设施)，the housing conditions and also the opportunities for education and employmentSomething urban planners are looking at now is the creation of “smart cities”According to John Rossant，founder and chairman of the non-profit organization New Cities Foundation ，technology is the way forward.He thinks that its generally accepted that“cloud computing, ubiquitous internet，robust 5G networks,etc，will transform our cities.” He says technology is really “a game changer” in urbanisationIt would collect large amounts of data about how a city is performing and may improve how a city functions. This may sound like a utopian(乌托邦似的)viewFor now，some big cities around the world are trying out more lowtech schemes to try and make them desirable places to live and work inBuilding sharedownership housing and improving public transport are some ways. And encouraging cycling and building bike lanes can keep the population healthy and cut down on smogWhat would make your city a better place to live in?33Whats the text mainly about? AThe city of the future BThe increase of the population CUrban constructionDThe function of smart cities34Why does the author mention Rio de Janeiro in Paragraph 2? ATo show the growth of the world population BTo show the problems in urbanization CTo show poor living conditions of the city DTo show financial trouble of the city 35What plays an important role in the creation of smart cities? ATechnology BUrban planning CThe infrastructure of the cityDOpportunities for education36What can we know from the last paragraph? AHigh-tech plans can be easily realized BPublic transport is well developed in cities CShared-ownership houses make no sense DWays of low-tech are available at present第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分） sdzxlm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。选项中有两项为多余选项。Do you have the experience of digging out your suitcase, deciding what to bring and being afraid that youve forgotten something? _37_.
