BSteve.CAlisha. DEsther.22Why did the author cook Alisha a meal?ATo please her to accept the pig.BTo make an apology to her.CTo celebrate Esthers arrival.DTo show off his cooking skills.23What is the best title for the text?AA Small Pig Making a Big DifferenceBAn Abandoned Pig Finding a Warm HomeCA Little Pig Bringing Happiness to a FamilyDA Lovely Pig Removing a Couples DisagreementBHarry，the first camel to arrive in Australia in 1840，was an unlucky beast.He was imported from the Canary Islands by explorer John Horrocks.On an expedition(探险)，Horrocks picked up his gun in order to shoot “a beautiful bird to be added to the collection”Perhaps Harry was an ecologisthe lurched(突然倾斜)，and the gun discharged，shooting Horrocks in the face.Horrocks not surprisingly died of his injuries，and his teammates ordered Harry to be shot.The first importation of a camel into Australia came to naught.In 1860,24 camels arrived in Australia to be part of an expedition by explorers Robert OHara Burke and William John Wills.It was an unlucky expedition.The pair made one mistake after another，and ended up eating most of their camels，before starving to death.Six years later，more than 100 camels and their Afghan minders，arrived in Australia.This time it succeeded and more camels followed.Sir Thomas Elder set up the first camel studs(种畜场) in South Australia，while others were set up in Western Australia.This time the camels bred(繁殖) like wildfire.They were used for working，rather than exploring expeditions.The imported Afghan cameleers were just as hardy and vital，leading camel trains across the cruel interior(内陆) of Australia，where few dared to go.The camels carried heavy packs of wool and supplies and opened up the desert areas as none had managed to do before.The train that does this crossing today is called the Ghan，in their honor.Motorization put these camel trains out of business，and many camels were turned loose.The camels loved Australia，and multiplied in amazing numbers.What is to be done with them?Not surprisingly they have become quite a tourist attraction and you can take a camel ride in the desert as the Afghan cameleers once did.But the fact is that camels create quite a problem in areas where they have taken over，as they damage local vegetation，muscle out native animals competing for food，and create chaos when they wander into settled areas.24What do we know about Harry?AHe killed an explorer.BHe was shot by his owner.CHe was interested in ecology.DHe arrived in Australia by accident.25What does the underlined part “came to naught” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?AFailed. BStarted.CGot limited. DGot protected.26Which of the following is TRUE about todays camels in Australia?AThey are raised in studs.BThey are decreasing in numbers.CThey are causing a lot of trouble.DThey are popular with the locals.CAfter a lot of local and state warnings，investigations and bans of hoverboards(平衡车)，the federal government issued a statement on Wednesday.The message：Many of the machines are a major fire risk.The Consumer Product Safety Commission(CPSC) announced the recall(召回) of more than a half­million hoverboards.The safety commission said that the battery­powered machines had been the cause of at least 60 fires.The announcement affects 10 companies that make or sell the products，including Razor and Swagway，two of the leading manufacturers.Hoverboards，which do not actually hover or fly and bear a vague resemblance to a skateboard，have been the subject of regulatory examination in recent years.Officials have banned them from airplanes and sidewalks，and the safety commission opened an investigation last fall because of reports of fires and explosions.The risk of fires from the machines electrical system and battery pack has attracted the most attention from the safety commission，which says it will now turn its focus toward the risk of falls and other accidents.The agency is worried that flaws(缺陷) in the boards design could lead riders to lose their balance.There is no federal safety standard specific to hoverboards.Underwriters Laboratories(UL)，a standards­setting and testing organization，came up with voluntary electrical requirements for self­balancing hoverboards as a result of the safety commissions investigation，said Elliot FKaye，the chairman of the CPSC.He urged consumers to return any hoverboard that did not reach the standards set by the company.However，part of the problem，he explained，was that many hoverboards had been sold by temporary stands such as those in malls or college campusesfly­by­night sellers that can be harder to track down or contact.“That is a deeply frustrating aspect of it，”Mr Kaye said.“Somebody can just put up a stand，order a bunch of products，disappear，and theres nobody there to take responsibility when things go wrong.”27Why will so many hoverboards be recalled?AThey arent easy to use.BThey are likely to cause fires.CThey dont actually hover or fly.DThey caused many traffic accidents.28What will the CPSC pay attention to?AThe recycling of hoverboards.BThe popularity of hoverboards.CThe balance risk of hoverboards.DThe price controls of hoverboards.29Which of the following set safety standards for hoverboards?AThe CPSC. BRazor.CSwagway.

Scientists have taken on the task of solving this mystery(奥秘) for ages.In the 1960s，psychologist Robert Zajonc conducted a series of experiments where he showed people nonsense words and random shapes.Afterward，he asked his subjects which they preferred out of everything they had been shown.In study after study，people always chose the words and shapes they had seen the most.Their preference was for familiarity.This discovery was one of the most important findings in modern psychology.But the preference for familiarity has clear limits.People get tired of even their favorite songs and movies.On the one hand，humans seek familiarity，because it makes them feel safe.On the other hand，people love the thrill of something new.This change between familiarity and discovery affects us all the timenot just our preferences for pictures and songs，but also our preferences for ideas and even people.For that reason，the power of familiarity seems to be strongest when a person isnt expecting it
