Eventually it was expanded and changed into the house for the Dalai Lama. Since 1959, it has been turned into a museum of Buddhism. In 1994, Potala Palace was named a World Heritage by UNESCO.

“What if we treat the ocean as if our lives depend on it Or, what if we don’t ” World-famous marine biologist Sylvia Earle poses her famous “what if” questions to inspire people to reflect on how they can help save the ocean. In 1998, Time magazine named Earle its first “Hero for the Planet.”
Earle’s move to Florida’s west coast at age 12 is what started a lifelong passion. She says, “That’s where I first fell in love with the ocean.” In 1953, using newly developed equipment, the young scientist became one of the first in her field to scuba dive (水肺潜水). Her first long-term exposure to the ocean depths came in 1970 when she led an all-female research team to study the ocean. They lived under the sea in a submersible (潜水器) for two weeks. When they returned to the surface, world-wide cheer and praise were waiting, especially for Dr. Earle.
Sylvia Earle’s career includes many firsts. In 1979 she became the first woman to walk the ocean floor 381 meters below the surface. In 1990, she became the first female chief scientist of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Through the years, Earle has spent roughly 7,500 hours underwater. During that time, she has become increasingly alarmed by the significant changes she has observed.
The famous scientist fears that the ocean is dying. Climate change, overfishing, the dumping of trash and chemicals and oil spills are just some of the many causes. In order to tackle the problem, Earle formed Mission Blue in 2009. This organization promotes the legal protection and conservation of the world’s oceans. Her plan is to develop “Hope Spots,” protected areas large enough to reverse (逆转) damage and restore the ocean.
4. Why does Sylvia Earle put forward “what if” questions
A. To call on people to protect the ocean.
B. To stress our dependence on the ocean.
C. To criticize people’s damage to the ocean.
D. To contribute an article to Time magazine.

A. She moved to Florida to learn diving.
B. She was the best in scuba diving.
C. She did not get much attention in 1970.
D. She became a chief scientist of NOAA in 1990.
6. What is the last paragraph mainly about

C. Efforts Earle made. D. Bright future for the ocean.
7. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Dr. Sylvia Earle — A Lover of Diving

It has long been believed that the smart phones in our pockets are actually making us duller； but now there is evidence for it.
Researchers at the University of Texas discovered that people are worse at conducting tasks and remembering information if they have a smart phone within eye shot. In two experiments they found phones sitting on a desk or even in a pocket or handbag would distract users and lead to worse test scores even when it was set up not to disturb test subjects. The effect was measurable even when the phones were switched off, and was worse for those who were more dependent on their mobiles.
The researchers tested 520 university students on their memory and intelligence when in the presence of a smart phone to see how it affected them. Participants were told to complete tests in mathematics, memory and reasoning with their smart phones either on their desk, in their bag or pockets，or in another room. Those who had their phones on the desk recorded a 10 per cent lower score than those who left them in a different room on operational tasks, which measures working memory and focus. Those who kept their phones further out of sight in their pockets or their bags scored only slightly better than when phones were placed on desks.
The researchers found that the negative effect of having a phone within eye shot was much greater among those who said they were dependent on their smart phones. Participants who had expressed sympathy with phrases such as “I would have trouble getting through a normal day without my cellphone” and “using my cellphone makes me feel happy” performed as well as others when their phone was in a different room，but worse when it was placed on their desk.
The researchers said the effect arises because part of a smart phone users’ mind is devoted to trying not to think about distractions such as whether they have any messages when the smart phone is in their sight.
8. For the people who scored the lowest, where did they put their cellphone
A. On the desk B. In their bags.
C. In their pockets. D. In a different room.
9. Which of the following will the researchers most probably agree with
A. People shouldn’t have a smart phone.
B. Phones wouldn’t distract users when switched off.
C. Those depending on mobiles are more likely to be distracted.
D. Their research has completely changed people’s view on smart phones.
10. According to the study, why did cellphones affect the participants
A. Using cellphones made them feel happy.
B. They focused on trying to ignore distractions.
C. They spent much time on the received messages.
D. They couldn’t get through a day without cellphones.
11. Where does the text probably come from
A Book review. B. A Science fiction.
C. Cellphone advertisement. D. A news report.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D
【解析】

I remember the day when I first learned to ride a bike. It was a frightening, yet fun experience. My grandfather was the one who taught me and he helped me when I got hurt. The first time I got on a bike, I had no idea what I was doing, and just about everything went wrong. My grandfather told me to just put my feet on the pedals (脚蹬子) and start cycling. He also told me he would hold onto the back of the bike the whole time, yet he didn’t.
As soon as I started trying to balance myself, he let the bike go. I happened to look back just then. I was scared to death that I was going to fall and hurt myself. When I was scared, my mind went blank from cycling, and I just wanted off. I forgot how to use the brakes (车闸) and fell right off the bike. My grandfather kept encouraging me to get up and try again, and after about 15 minutes, I finally stopped crying, got up and tried again.
As soon as I started riding again, my pants got caught in the chain, and I fell flat on my face and hit my nose. My grandfather decided to call it a day and try again the next morning. The next morning I woke up brightly and early, and was very eager to try to ride my bike. My nose felt better, so I wasn’t that afraid of falling anymore.
Despite the fact that I knew there were a range of difficulties on the way to mastering the skills in riding a bike, I believed I could do well with my grandfather’s help. After all, riding a bike was indeed what I wanted to do eagerly.

【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前文“As soon as I started riding again, my pants got caught in the chain, and I fell flat on my face and hit my nose.

【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Despite the fact that I knew there were a range of difficulties on the way to mastering the skills in riding a bike, I believed I could do well with my grandfather’s help.

【36题详解】
考查介词。句意：然而，一项在十个国家开展的国际调查发现，大多数英国人认为他们为保护地球所做的努力比其他任何人都多，很少有人愿意在生活方式上做出重大改变。分析句子可知，此处是固定短语carry out，意为“执行，实行”。故填out。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意：这项调查给政府提供了双重教训，首先，政府必须达到人们的期望，同时也必须说服人们解决方案是什么。分析句子可知，所有格后应使用名词作宾语，同时，此处既可以指人类为一个整体时的期待，也可以指个人的期待，因此既可以使用名词的单数形式也可以使用其复数形式。故填expectation/expectations。
【38题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意：这项调查给政府提供了双重教训，首先，政府必须达到人们的期望，同时也必须说服人们解决方案是什么。分析句子可知，该句为宾语从句，从句中缺少表语成分，因此需使用连词what作表语。故填what。
【39题详解】
考查状语从句的省略。句意：然而，当被要求评价自己的个人行动与他人的行动时，人们通常认为自己比当地社区的其他人更致力于环境保护。此处是when引导的状语从句的省略，当主句和从句主语是同一主语时，且从句含有be动词，从句可以省略主语和系动词，people和ask之间是逻辑上的被动关系，从句应该是when people were asked，所以此处省略主语people和were。故填asked。
【40题详解】
考查反身代词。句意：然而，当被要求评价自己的个人行动与他人的行动时，人们通常认为自己比当地社区的其他人更致力于环境保护。分析句子可知，该句中的主语和宾语是同一个对象，因此需使用反身代词。故填themselves。

考查冠词。句意：减少人们的能源消耗只占了32%的优先级。分析句子可知，此处表示泛指的“优先级”，应使用不定冠词来修饰，且priority是以辅音音素开头的单词，因此需使用不定冠词a。故填a。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意：支持公共交通超过汽车（25%）和戏剧性地改变我们的农业模型（24%）同样不受欢迎。分析句子可知，空处需使用副词作状语修饰动词changing。故填dramatically。
【44题详解】
考查谓语。句意：人们关心的是这个星球。分析句子可知，句中缺少谓语，主语是复数形式，为保证主谓一致，谓语也应使用复数形式，且此处是固定短语，be concerned with，意为“对……关心”，该语境下使用了一般现在时，因此空处也要使用一般现在时。故填are concerned。
【45题详解】
考查比较级。句意：人们并没有转化为更大的意愿，而是特别关注他们对政府努力的负面评价。后文提到“特别关注他们对政府努力的负面评价”，由此判断人们并不想对目前政府采取的措施进行升级改变，即人们并不想让现在的一些措施变的更好，此处应使用比较级。故填greater。

A
At 12, 139 feet above sea level, Potala is the highest palace in the world. The 1, 300-year-old palace was originally built by Tibetan king Songtsen Gambo for Princess Wencheng of the Chinese Tang Dynasty. Eventually it was expanded and changed into the house for the Dalai Lama. Since 1959, it has been turned into a museum of Buddhism. In 1994, Potala Palace was named a World Heritage by UNESCO.
The building is divided into two parts—the Red Palace and the White Palace. They are really colored red and white. A fresh coat of paint made up of milk, honey, and sugar is applied every autumn.
The neighboring Jokhang Temple and Norbulingka Temple were rebuilt in 2000 and 2001. The Jokhang Temple is considered the most sacred (神圣的) temple in Tibet and thousands of Buddhism believers travel thousands of miles by foot just to pay their respects to it all year around.

“What if we treat the ocean as if our lives depend on it Or, what if we don’t ” World-famous marine biologist Sylvia Earle poses her famous “what if” questions to inspire people to reflect on how they can help save the ocean. In 1998, Time magazine named Earle its first “Hero for the Planet.”
Earle’s move to Florida’s west coast at age 12 is what started a lifelong passion. She says, “That’s where I first fell in love with the ocean.” In 1953, using newly developed equipment, the young scientist became one of the first in her field to scuba dive (水肺潜水). Her first long-term exposure to the ocean depths came in 1970 when she led an all-female research team to study the ocean. They lived under the sea in a submersible (潜水器) for two weeks. When they returned to the surface, world-wide cheer and praise were waiting, especially for Dr. Earle.
Sylvia Earle’s career includes many firsts. In 1979 she became the first woman to walk the ocean floor 381 meters below the surface. In 1990, she became the first female chief scientist of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Through the years, Earle has spent roughly 7,500 hours underwater. During that time, she has become increasingly alarmed by the significant changes she has observed.
The famous scientist fears that the ocean is dying. Climate change, overfishing, the dumping of trash and chemicals and oil spills are just some of the many causes. In order to tackle the problem, Earle formed Mission Blue in 2009. This organization promotes the legal protection and conservation of the world’s oceans. Her plan is to develop “Hope Spots,” protected areas large enough to reverse (逆转) damage and restore the ocean.
4. Why does Sylvia Earle put forward “what if” questions
A. To call on people to protect the ocean.
B. To stress our dependence on the ocean.
C. To criticize people’s damage to the ocean.
D. To contribute an article to Time magazine.
5. What can we learn about Sylvia Earle
A. She moved to Florida to learn diving.
B. She was the best in scuba diving.
C. She did not get much attention in 1970.
D. She became a chief scientist of NOAA in 1990.
6. What is the last paragraph mainly about

C Efforts Earle made. D. Bright future for the ocean.
7. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text

It has long been believed that the smart phones in our pockets are actually making us duller； but now there is evidence for it.
Researchers at the University of Texas discovered that people are worse at conducting tasks and remembering information if they have a smart phone within eye shot. In two experiments they found phones sitting on a desk or even in a pocket or handbag would distract users and lead to worse test scores even when it was set up not to disturb test subjects. The effect was measurable even when the phones were switched off, and was worse for those who were more dependent on their mobiles.
The researchers tested 520 university students on their memory and intelligence when in the presence of a smart phone to see how it affected them. Participants were told to complete tests in mathematics, memory and reasoning with their smart phones either on their desk, in their bag or pockets，or in another room. Those who had their phones on the desk recorded a 10 per cent lower score than those who left them in a different room on operational tasks, which measures working memory and focus. Those who kept their phones further out of sight in their pockets or their bags scored only slightly better than when phones were placed on desks.
The researchers found that the negative effect of having a phone within eye shot was much greater among those who said they were dependent on their smart phones. Participants who had expressed sympathy with phrases such as “I would have trouble getting through a normal day without my cellphone” and “using my cellphone makes me feel happy” performed as well as others when their phone was in a different room，but worse when it was placed on their desk.
The researchers said the effect arises because part of a smart phone users’ mind is devoted to trying not to think about distractions such as whether they have any messages when the smart phone is in their sight.
8. For the people who scored the lowest, where did they put their cellphone
A. On the desk B. In their bags.
C. In their pockets. D. In a different room.
9 Which of the following will the researchers most probably agree with
A. People shouldn’t have a smart phone.
B. Phones wouldn’t distract users when switched off.
C. Those depending on mobiles are more likely to be distracted.
D. Their research has completely changed people’s view on smart phones.
10. According to the study, why did cellphones affect the participants
A. Using cellphones made them feel happy.
B. They focused on trying to ignore distractions.
C. They spent much time on the received messages.
D. They couldn’t get through a day without cellphones.
11. Where does the text probably come from
A. Book review. B. A Science fiction.
C. Cellphone advertisement. D. A news report.

I remember the day when I first learned to ride a bike. It was a frightening, yet fun experience. My grandfather was the one who taught me and he helped me when I got hurt. The first time I got on a bike, I had no idea what I was doing, and just about everything went wrong. My grandfather told me to just put my feet on the pedals (脚蹬子) and start cycling. He also told me he would hold onto the back of the bike the whole time, yet he didn’t.
As soon as I started trying to balance myself, he let the bike go. I happened to look back just then. I was scared to death that I was going to fall and hurt myself. When I was scared, my mind went blank from cycling, and I just wanted off. I forgot how to use the brakes (车闸) and fell right off the bike. My grandfather kept encouraging me to get up and try again, and after about 15 minutes, I finally stopped crying, got up and tried again.
As soon as I started riding again, my pants got caught in the chain, and I fell flat on my face and hit my nose. My grandfather decided to call it a day and try again the next morning. The next morning I woke up brightly and early, and was very eager to try to ride my bike. My nose felt better, so I wasn’t that afraid of falling anymore.
Despite the fact that I knew there were a range of difficulties on the way to mastering the skills in riding a bike, I believed I could do well with my grandfather’s help. After all, riding a bike was indeed what I wanted to do eagerly.
12. How was the author when he was on the bike first

14. What is the author’s attitude towards his grandfather

15. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage
