to widen my knowledge of people,and this in turn makes me believe in the common goodness of mankind.I believe that the normal human heart is good since their birth.That is.its born sensitive and feeling eager to be approved and to approve,hungry for simple happiness and the chance to live.Like Confucius,I am absorbed in the wonder of the earth,and the life on it.With a great faith in the human heart and its power to grow toward the light.I find here are reasons enough for hope and confidence in the future of mankind.The common sense of people will surely prove that mutual(相互的）support

with freedom.This environment,I believe,is based upon the necessity for security and friendship.I take heart in a promising fact that the future world will contain food supplies enough for the entire earth population.Our knowledge of medical science will be sufficient to improve the health of the whole human race.Our resources and education,if administered on a world scale,will lift the intelligence of the race.Half a century ago.few people thought of world food,health and education.Many are thinking today of these things.Now I find my only questions about this:Are there enough

day without really thinking about it.But Lee Gray,PhD.of the University of North Carolina,US,has made it his business to examine this overlooked form of public transport.He is known as theElevator Guy.The lift becomes an interesting social space where etiquette(礼仅）is sort of strange.Gray told the BBC.They are socially very interesting but often very awkward places.We walk in and usually turn around to face the door.If someone else comes in,we may have to move.And here,according to Gray.lift-users unthinkingly go through a set pattern of movements.He told the BEC what he had observed.He explained that when you are the only one inside a lift.you can do whatever you want-its your own little box If there are two of you,you go into different corners,standing diagonally(对角线地）across from each other to create distance.Newcomers to the lift will need to size up the situation when the doors slide open and then act quickly.Once in.for most people the rule is simple-look down,or look at your phone.Why are we so awkward in lifts?You dont have enough space.Professor Babette Renneberg,a clinical psychologist at the Free University of Berlin,told the BBC.Usually when we meet other people,we have about an arms length of distance between us.And thats not possible in most elevators.In such a small.enclosed space it becomes very important to act in a way that cannot be considered to be threatening or strangeThe easiest way do this is avoid eye contact,she said 28.What is peoples response to the lift etiquette according to Gray?A Thinking much of it.B.Avoiding it on purpose.C.Ignoring it unconsciously.D.Researching it continuously.29.What does Gray think of riding a lift?A Its a funny and quick.B.Its strange and dangerous.C.Its convenient but boring.D.Its interesting but awkward 30.What may most people do if they stay in the lift?A.Talk loudly to each other.B.Use mobile phones.C.Keep still and silence.D.Keep a close distance 31.Whats the authors purpose in writing the text?A.To show how to ride elevators.6 B.To show how to break awkwardness of riding lifts.C.To introduce some rules of elevator etiquette.D.To analyze the reasons for keeping elevator etiquette.D A new paper published in Environmental Research Letters has some warning news for people living in the lower 48 states:You may be at risk from river flooding and not even know it until the water starts to rise.In fact,the study,estimates of present and future flood risk in the United States,found that 41 million U.S.residents are at risk from flooding along rivers.Thats three times more than current estimates based on the flood maps produced by the Federal Emergency Management Agency(FEMA),which primarily maps the areas at risk for 1-in-100-year floods in populous(人口众多的）river basins.Why does the big difference come into being?As always,its all about the data.Generally,FEMA prioritizes risk-assessment areas based on their population:reserving expensive field-work methodologies(研究方法）for the more populous river basins,but many other rivers have not yet been mapped at all.The size of the USA means that flood maps made in this way are incomplete.It would be too expensive and time-consuming to survey every river basin in America.The national-scale flood maps produced by FEMA leave the flood risk of many parts of the country unaccounted for.For this research,scientists from The Nature Conservancy adopted a pioneering methodology that avoids the detects of the FEMA approach,where individual catchments(流城）are studied by making use of big data.The study used a new high-resolution model,produced by the flood-mapping organization Fathorn,which copies floods on all rivers across the entire continental United States.“We were all surprised by now many people are actually exposed to freshwater flooding in the USA.said Oliver wing.lead researcher on the study and a PhD student at the University of BristolIts particularly worrisome considering that most of these people arent even aware of the risk they face.This study helps fill that critical information gap.32.What did the new paper intend to tell readers?A.The mistakes made by FEMA B.The serious situation of the flood C The unseen risk of the flood in the USA D.The populous river basins of the USA 33.Why is the map produced by EMA incomplete?A.It ignores less populous rivers B.The size of the USA is too big.C.The efficiency of making it is low.D.Its dangerous to research all the rivers.34.What does the underlined worddefectsin paragraph 5 mean?A.Contributions.B.Potential.C.Consumption.D.Shortcomings.35.What attitude does Oliver Wing have to the study?7 A.Critical.B.Supportive.C.Cautious.D.Uncaring.第二节（共5 小题：每小题2.5 分，满分12.5
