The Orange Cinema CompanyBThey say there are three ways to experience the Grand Canyon; on foot, on mules (骡子) or by air. We chose the first. Up early, my husband and I and our three children couldnt wait to get started. We decided to walk along a lovely path named Bright Angel Trail.As we set out, I was shocked at how narrow the path was. And I couldnt help noticing that the other tourists werent like us. They had heavy backpacks, water bottles, and hats, but as usual we were dressed. As the sun rose higher, Arizonas famous heat seemed to roast us. There was no shade and our legs were aching. We decided to go back, with the girl on my back and the boys far behind. By the time we finally got back, our legs were like jelly.The next day, after wed had along rest and a good breakfast, we were ready for another view of the Canyon by air. After our last walk, this would be the easiest thing in the world.We called to each other excitedly as the plane circled around the Canyon. But the smiles on our faces disappeared as the pilot tossed (翻转) the plane around, pretending he was going to hit the ground. I shouted, “STOP, TAKE US BACK!” When we finally arrived back on land, once again our legs were like jelly. We hardly spoke as we drove back.As I said, there are three ways to view the Grand Canyon. We never tried the mules, but personally Id suggest a fourth: buy yourself a good magazine like National Geographic. That way, you can see the Canyon, without fear or tiredness.4. According to the second paragraph, which of the following is TRUE?A. They made careful preparations before the trip.B. The children were more excited than their parents.C. The heat didnt prevent them from finishing the walk.D. Bright Angel Trail was not as lovely as they expected.5. The underlined sentence “Our legs were like jelly.” in paragraph 2 probably means “_”.A. We were tiredB. We were injuredC. We were relaxedD. We were energetic6. Why did the family hardly speak as they drove back?A. Because the pilot almost hit the ground.B. Because they got frightened on the plane.C. Because they arrived back on land later than expected.D. Because the plane only circled around the Grand Canyon once.7. We can infer from the last paragraph that _.A a good magazine about the Grand Canyon is more affordableB. visiting the Grand Canyon on mules would be the best optionC. the trip to the Grand Canyon does not necessarily suit everyoneD. there can be more exciting ways to view the Grand Canyon in personCBirds rely on their keen sense of hearing to detect prey(猎物) and identify other birds on the basis of their songs. In fact, birds have better hearing than humans, so they hear with much more detail. So how do birds hear?Birds and humans both have an inner ear and a middle ear. However, birds differ from humans in that they lack an external ear structure. Where humans have an outer ear organ, birds have a funnel-shaped(漏斗状的) opening that functions as their outer ear, located on each side of their head. These openings are usually positioned behind and slightly below a birds eyes and are protected by soft feathers.The position of a birds head also plays a role in its hearing abilities. Scientists have determined that noises register(显示) at different frequencies on each side of the birds head. Depending on the angle from which the noise originates, it registers with a certain frequency in the left eardrum(耳膜) but with a different frequency in the right eardrum. This allows the bird to locate a sounds origin.Lets take a look at owls. They are known for their extremely accurate hearing, which helps them locate prey at night. This hearing ability is partly due to the unbalanced arrangement of the ear openings, with one opening being lower than the other. Sounds register in these openings at slightly different times. Owls can use this time difference, which is only 30 millionths of a second, to determine whether the sounds are coming from their left or their right. Other birds of prey have small covers in front of their ears that help them determine whether sounds are coming from above them or below them. Some owls do appear to have ears on the top of their head, but those are actually feathers controlled by small muscles under the skin that do not affect their hearing at all.8. According to paragraph 2, what is the major difference between birds ears and humans cars?A. SizeB. Position.C. Structure.D. Function.9. What does the underlined word “This” in paragraph 3 probably refer to?A. Each side of the birds head.B. Sound quality around the bird.C. The angle from which the noise comes.D. The difference in frequencies between the eardrums.10. What is the purpose of the last paragraph?A. To give examples.B. To present the main idea.C. To draw a conclusion.D. To compare different opinions.11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Different Senses of BirdsB. Amazing Abilities of BirdsC. The Secret of Birds HearingD. The Origin of Birds HearingDA good gift is one that is more valuable for the receiver than it is for the giver. But most gifts destroy value rather than create it. Think of the Christmas-tree-shaped cookie jar that cost your aunt $89 but is worthless than zero to you, posing a difficult question: Do you throw it right into the bin or wait a couple of months? The economist Joel Waldfogel calls this discrepancy (差异) the “dead weight loss” of gifts, and estimates that, on average, it is from 10 percent to a third of a gifts price.One explanation for the dead weightloss is a mismatch between desirablity and feasibility(可行性). Consider a gadget that is useful(high desirability) but difficult to set up and time-consuming to use(low feasibility). Researchers have found that givers usually focus on desirability, and receivers are more aware of feasibility. Your friend who bought you a fancy wearable fitness tracker probably thought it was a really cool and helpful gift; to you, it seems like a major headache to figure out, requires an app download and a monthly cost, and offers data that will very likely make you feel terrible about yourself. Thats why it is still sitting in your drawer in its original package.Another happiness-killing mismatch can be between the receivers first reaction (反应) and their long-term satisfaction. As Anna Goldfarb noted in The Atlantic a few weeks ago, givers tend to look for “reaction-maximizing (最大化) gifts” (such as the wifes over-the-top reaction to the car) as opposed to “satisfaction-maximizing gifts.” Once the giver is not present to see the receivers reaction, the receiver might not actually be that excited about socks with her best friends face on them.Someone looking for a big reaction might want to buy a wildly expensive gift, which causes its own emotional problems. In the worst cases, they may even be trying to control you, or trick you into doing them a favor later. Either way, receiving a gift thats too nice might make you feel guilty (愧疚的). According to one 2019 survey from Compare Cards, 46 percent of respondents felt guilty for being unable to give a gift worth as much as the one they received.In truth, the biggest benefit to most gift giving is to the giver herself. Generosity is truly away to buy happiness. As my colleague Michael Norton and his co-authors showed in the journal Science in 2008, although spending money on oneself is weakly related to happiness, spending money on others significantly raises the givers well-being (幸福). Neuroscientists have shown that charitable giving to others provides pleasure in one of the same ways that alcohol and certain drugs do. (Maybe this is the real reason Santa is so joyful.)12. What does “deadweight loss” of gifts in paragraph 1 refer to?A. The value the gift creates rather than destroys.B. The money the giver spends on a meaningful giftC. The good-will and thoughtfulness of the gift giver.D. The loss of the gift value in the eyes of the receiver.13. How would the receiver describe the “fancy wearable fitness tracker” as a gift?A. Fashionable and practicalB. Inexpensive and worthless.C. Desirable and satisfactory.D. Unfriendly and troublesome.14. When might the receiver give the over-the-top reaction?A. When the receiver gets something wildly expensive.B. When the giver gives something he himself truly likes.C. When the giver is present to see the receivers reaction.D. When the receiver gets socks with the best friends face on them.15. What can we learn from the text?A. Presents are generally terrible.B It is in giving that givers receive.C. Gift-giving is in most case saw in-win situation.D. The greatest gift you can give is your time and attention.第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Tune into any sports coverage on TV, and you will see many athletes proudly raise their arms and heads in victory, while a much larger number hang their shoulders and necks in defeat (失利). Studies have shown whythey are universal (普遍的) behaviors, performed by humans in the face of success and failure.The discovery came from Jessica Tracy from the University of British Columbia and David Matsumoto from San Francisco State University, who wanted to see how people showed feelings of pride and shame. _16_ They tried to find a large group of people, and it was critically important that some of these subjects had never seen other people reacting to success or failure before.The answer was Athens, during the 2004 Olympic Games. Its sister competitionthe Paralympicsincluded many athletes who were born blind. _17_ Working with a professional photographer, Tracy and Matsumoto
