When you pat your pet dog, he wags(摆来摆去)his tail.That is his way of saying that he lovesyou.And, if you pay attention, you will see that he uses his tail to say so many things.Every move-ment of the tail means a different thing.If the dog is wagging its tail, it is a sign of friendliness;if histail is straight, it means he is getting ready for a fight;and if his tail is tucked(塞)behind his legs, itmeans he is giving up the fight.Unlike dogs, cats' tail language is not so expressive.When a cat feels threatened, he puffs him-self up to appear big and his tail shakes with tension.And when he is displeased with something, helashes out(甩动)his tail.The tail language of dogs and cats has a little story behind it.Earlier, when dogs and cats hadnot become friends with human beings, they were predators.They used to hunt other animals for theirfood.When dogs went out hunting with their friends, tail language came handy.When they were closeto each other, dogs could use facial expressions to talk.But, for long-distance c,o~mmunication, theyused their tails.Unlike dogs, cats liked to hunt alone.So, they did not need to use tail language toooften.As a result, their vocabulary in tail language is much smaller than that of dogs'.第40题单选 What does it mean when a dog's tail is straight?

Like any teenagers, the face of One Teen Story is changing fast.Just a year old, the monthlymagazine of short fiction for young people is getting a new editor-in-chief: Patrick Ryan ,47, the asso-ciate editor of Granta from 2009 to 2013.He left the London-based literary journal last month.Editing One Teen Story--the younger sibling(姐妹篇)of One Story magazine--will offer Ryan achance to reach a whole new audience.“It's really the only magazine for young adult short fiction,”he says from his office in New York.“It's tremendously exciting that there are younger people outthere who have subscriptions and look forward to getting these stories once a month.That form is usu-ally only presented when it's forced upon them in schools.”
Designed for readers 14 and up, One Teen Story publishes nine issues a year.Like its siblingmagazine, it doesn't carry photographs or advertising.It's just exactly what it says:one story per issue.Ryan says young people are “looking for engaging reads about people whom they can identifywith.It's not about having a message or positive spin(说教).It always starts on a character level,and it has to have an interesting story.If you look at the ' Twilight' characters and the ' HarryPotter' characters,they feel very contemporary.”
Ryan also sees the magazine as a way to encourage talented authors."I would love to make OneTeen Story the first publication for writers who then go on and keep at this business.I just really lovethe idea that this magazine would be the starting point for somebody--would be the push to make a talented writer feel that it was woah keeping at this.”

After taking a six—week,fully paid maternity leave(产假)earlier this year,FrancineGemperle was anxious to resume her job but reluctant to be away from her baby daughter,Veronica.Fortunately,she didn’t have to choose between them.Maya Design,a Pittsburghbased creative consulting firm,allows parents to bring newborns:into the office.“If I'd had to leave my children after my maternity leave ended.I would never have goneback to work,”says Gemperle a designer and researcher,who also brought her son Mile.intothe office after he was born.She’s not the only parent taking advantage of the ben6fit.Senior analyst Jon West bringshis 10.month—old soil.Owen,the office several times a month.In fact,when West consideredusing only part of his paternity leave,his co—workers urged him to take all six weeks.“I had pressure to take that leave,”recalls West,“People told me.‘It's an important part of your life and you need to expenience it.’”

For several weeks Mrs.Edwards hoped, like many of her friends, to be the lucky customer.Unlike her friends, she never gave up hoping.The cupboards in kitchen were full of things which she did not need.Her husband tried to advise her against buying things but failed.She dreamed of the day when the manager of the supermarket would approach her and say: “Madam, this is Your Lucky Day.Everything in your basket is free.”
One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy any tea.She dashed back to the supermarket, got the tea and went towards the cash-desk.As she did so, she saw the manager of the supermarket approach her.“Madam,” he said, holding out his hand, “I want to congratulate you!You are our lucky customer and everything you have in your basket is free!”

Passage Two Deep inside a mountain near Sweetwater in East.Tennessee is a body of water known as the Lost Sea.It is listed by the Guinness Book of Would Records as the world’s largest underground lake.The Lost Sea is part of an extensive and historic cave system called Craighead Caverns.The caverns have been known and used since the days of the Cherokee Indian nation.The cave expands into a series of huge rooms from a small opening on the side of the mountain.Approximately one mile from the entrance, in a room called “The Council Room,” many Indian artisfacts have been found.Some of the items discovered include pottery, arrowheads, weapons, and jewelry.For many years there were persistent rumors of a large underground lake somewhere in a cave, but it was not discovered until 1905.In that year, a thirteen-year-old boy named Ben Sands crawled through a small opening three hundred feet underground.He found himself in a large cave half filled with water.Today tourists visit the Lost Sea and ride far out onto it in glass-bottomed boats powered by electric motors.More than thirteen acres of water have been mapped out so far and still no end to the lake has been found.Even though teams of divers have tried to explore the Lost Sea, the full extent of it is still unknown.66.The Lost Sea is unique because it is ________.part of a historical cave system the biggest underground lake in the world listed in the Guinness Book of World Records the largest body of water in Tennessee 67.The Craighead Caverns have been known ________.A.through history B.since the time of the Indian nations C.since 1905 D.since divers explored them 68.Who located the Lost Sea in recent times?

Passage Three Generations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is one life’s essentials.Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have all been told, and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.But for many people the thought of food first thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure.So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast.Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures are available, the number of people who didn’t have breakfast, increased by 33 percent.For those who feel pain of guilt about not eating breakfast, however, there is some good news.Several studies in the last few years indicate that, for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast.“Going without breakfast does not affect performance,” said Arrold E.Bender, former professor of the nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve performance.”
Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly inadequate, and most of the recent work involves children, not adults, “The literature”, says one researcher, Dr.Erresto at the University of Texas, “is poor”.71.The latest year for which figures could be obtained is _______.A.the year the author wrote the article B.1977 C.any year between 1997 and 1983 D.1983 72.For those who do not take breakfast, the good news is that _______.several studies have been done in the past few years the omission of breakfast does no harm to one’s health adults have especially made studies in this field eating little in the morning is good for health 73.“…nor does giving people breakfast improve performance” means ______.anyone without breakfast does improve his performance not giving people breakfast improve performance having breakfast does not improve performance, either people having breakfast do improve their performance 74.The word “literature” in the last sentence refers to _______.A.stories, poems, plays, etc.B.written works on a particular subject C.any printed material D.the modern literature of America 75.What is implied but NOT stated by the author is that _______.breakfast does not affect performance Dr.Erresto is engaged in research work at an institution of higher learning not eating breakfast might affect the health of children Professor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in London
Passage Four About 35% of all high school graduates in America continue their education in an institution of higher learning.The word college is used to refer to either a college or a university.These institutions offer four-year programs that lead to a Bachelor of Arts(B.A.)or Bachelor Science(B.S.)degree.Some students attend a junior college(providing only a two-year program)for one to two years before entering a four-year college as a sophomore(二年级生)or junior(三年级生).It is generally easier to be accepted at a state university than at a private one.Most private schools require strict entrance examinations and a high grade point average(GPA), as well as specific college prep classes in high school.Private schools cost considerably more than state colleges and famous private schools are very expensive.Poorer students can sometimes attend, however, by earning scholarships.Some college graduates go on to earn advanced masters or doctoral degrees in grad(graduate)school.Occupations in certain fields such as law or medicine require such advanced studies.Since college costs are very high, most students work at part-time jobs.Some have full-time jobs and go to school part-time.Often some will take five or more years to complete a four-year program because of money / job demands on their time.While the college and work demands take up the great part of a student’s time, most still enjoy social activities.Sports, dances, clubs, movies, and plays are all very popular.However, gathering together for long, philosophical talks at a favorite meeting place on or near the university is probably the most popular activity.76.College education is _______ in America.A.quite common B.very rare C.something difficult D.almost impossible 77.Which of the following is NOT required for entering most private schools.A.entrance examinations B.taking part in many activities C.GPA D.college prep classes 78.How can poor students attend private schools?

询,成人高考报名时间,成人高考专升本,成考网上报名,成人高考分数线
Brooklyn,is a man of many solutions,many of them creative,many of them,apparently, also effective.In New York City, only about 50 percent of students manage to graduate in four years.At Bedford Academy 63 percent of the students qualify for free lunch,a majority of which are being raised by a single mother and another significant number are being raised by someone other than a parent.Yet close to 95 percent of students graduate,and actually every one of those goes on to college.
Mr.Leonard does not achieve those results by admitting only high-testing students into his school.Of the students arriving with lower test scores,Mr.Leonard says that he is not looking for the students with the highest grades,or even the best behavior.He’ S looking for the ones who understand his basic mission of discipline and respect,and are willing to devote themselves to his regular training course.
The Bedford Academy High School is famous for its autonomy.For Mr.Leonard,autonomy means insisting that all entering students spend their Saturday mornings in preparatory classes the summer before they enroll.Autonomy also means an automatic weeklong suspension for any student who “disrespects a female,”said Mr.Leonard.It means requiring struggling students,in the weeks before the Regents exams,to attend studying sessions on Saturday from 9 a.m.until 9 p.m.It means the most senior, experienced teachers,including Mr.Leonard,teach not the school’S academic jewels,but the most struggling students.
And autonomy also means the school’ S teachers administer almost no homework.Instead they emphasize after-school tutoring where the teachers Can keep a better eye on whether the student is actually grasping the material.
40.In Mr.Leonard’S school,most ofthe students who don’t have to pay for lunch____.
A.are adopted children
B.are parentless
C.are homeless
D.have a single parent
【答案】D
【解析】第一段第四行谈到这所学校63%的学生达到了免费午餐的条件,因为这些学生是单亲家庭。故D正确。
41.What can be a good indication of the Bedford School’ s success?
A.63 percent of its students go on to college.B.A high percentage of students enjoy free lunch.C.All the graduates from the school go on to college.D.The number of its graduates is twice that of New York High School
【答案】C
【解析】第一段谈到在纽约市仅有50%的毕业生四年后勉强毕业,而这所学校达到了95%,实际上,每位学生都能考上大学。
42.What does Mr.Leonard expect from those low-testing students?
A.The highest scores.
B.The best behaviour.C.Respectfulness and discipline.
D.Willingness to learn by themselves.【答案】C
【解析】文章第二段第二行谈到,Mr Leonard 看重的不是学生的分数,而是守纪律,尊敬别人。故C正确。
43.The school insists that students should____.
A.leave the school if they fail to respect a woman

People joke that no one in Los Angeles reads;everyone watches TV, rents videos,or goes to the movies.The most popular reading material is comic books,movie magazines,and TV guide s.City libraries have only 10 percent of the traffic that car washes have.But how do you explain this? An annual book festival in west Los Angeles is flourishing year after year.People wait half an hour for a parking space to become available.
This outdoor festival,sponsored by a newspaper,occurs every April for one weekend.This year’ s attendance was estimated at 70,000 on Saturday and 75,000 on Sunday.The festival consisted of 280 exhibitors.There were about 90 talks given by authors,with an audience question-and-answer period foilowing each talk.Autograph(亲笔签名)seekers sought out more than 150 authors.A food court sold all kinds of popular food and diverse foreign foods,from American hamburgers to Hawaiian shave ice drinks.Except for a $7 parking fee,the festival was free.Even so,some people avoided the food court prices by staying away and having their own sandwiches and drinks.People came from all over California.One couple drove down from San Francisco.“This is our sixth year here now.We love it,”said the husband.“It’s just fantastic to be in the great outdoors,to be mnong so many books and authors,and to get some very good deals,too.”
The idea for the festival occurred years ago,but nobody knew if it would succeed.Although book festivals were already popular in other US cities,would Los Angeles residents welcome one?“The citizens of the city are very unpredictable,”said one of the festival founders.

Passage Four
Have you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly? Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it? Are you afraid to ask someone for a date?
Many people are afraid to assert themselves(坚持己见).Dr.Robert Alberti,author of Stand Up, Speak Out,and Talk Back, thinks it’s because of their lack of confidence.“Our structure of organization tends to make people distrust themselves.”says Alberti.“There’s always a‘superior’around-a parent,a teacher,a boss-who‘knows better’.These‘superiors’often gain when they keep breaking at your self-image.”
But Alberti and other scientists are doing something to help people assert themselves.They offer“assertiveness training”courses-AT for short.In the AT course people learn that they have a right to be themselves.They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so.They learn to be aggressive without hurting people.
In one way, learning to speak out is to overcome fear.A group taking an AT course will help the shy person to lose his fear.But AT uses an even stronger motive-the need to share.The shy person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels.
Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-image.If someone you face is more“important”than you,you may feel less of a person.You start to doubt your own good sense.You go by the other person’ s label.But,why should you?AT says you can get to feel good about yourself.And once you do,you can learn to speak out.
48.People are reluctant to talk back because____.
A.they have a poor self-image
B.they have not received AT courses
C.they have not grasped communication skills
D.they are not generous enough to share things
【答案】A
【解析】文章最后一段第一句Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-image,说明一个人是否愿意把自己的想法大胆的说出来取决于一个人的自我形象。故A正确
49.According to Dr.Alberti,our organization is constructed to____.
A.get people to trust their own solutions to problems 成人高考网 www.xiexiebang.com 成人高考,成考,成人高考报名条件,成人高考试题,成人高考成绩查

B.keep people as knowledgeable as their“superiors”
C.train people’ s capacity to speak up for their rights
D.make things more favorable for“superiors”
【答案】D
【解析】“There’s always a‘superior’around-a parent,a teacher,a boss-who‘knows better’.These‘superiors’often gain when they keep breaking at your self-image.”

Passage Five
A wind tunnel is used for testing planes or plane models.In a wind tunnel air is blown over a plane ora model placed in a test section.Wind tunnel test sections are different in size depending on airflow speed requirements.Some low-speed tunnels have test sections large enough for a complete small plane.In the very high speed tunnels used for space testing,however,the model may be as small as a pencil.
There are two ways of feeding air to the test section.In the constant flow tunnel,airflow produced by electric fans is forced through the tunnel to the test section,then through another tunnel section back to the starting point for reuse.The other way involves storing high-pressure air in a box,sending it out by a controlling device to pass through the tunnel and test section into another box.This way is usually used for a very short period of high-speed airflow.
Wind tunnels are usually used to test planes before they are flown.Problems in a plane carl be found when it meets the high-speed airflow in the tunnel.For example,if the wings are built so that they would weaken at high speeds,this fact can be discovered in the tunnel,thus saving many lives and millions of dollars.
In a wind tunnel,scientists also find out how different planes will act at different speeds.They find out such things as how the air dives by the wing surfaces,how slowly a plane can fly before it starts to drop,and howfastit can climb.
52.Some wind tunnel sections are larger than others because____.
A.they are used for large planes
B.they can produce a stronger wind
C.they are built to conduct a high-speed test
D.the air in them flows at a lower speed
【答案】D
【解析】根据常理,风道面积大,风速就慢。D是正确答案。
53.The underlined words“this fact”in Paragraph 3 refer to the fact that____.

【答案】B
【解析】本句是说如果机翼劣质,高速飞行时会受损。问题中的this fact 指的是机翼质量不好。故B正确。
54.As mentioned in the last paragraph,a wind tunnel can be used to find out____.A.how fast a plane can rise
B.how smooth a plane’s surface is
C.how a plane lands in a strong wind
D.how a plane drops at a low height
【答案】A
【解析】这个句子and how fast it can climb.说明A是正确答案。
55.What can we learn from the passage?
A.It is very expensive to build a wind tunnel.
B.Wind tunnels are very essential in testing planes.
C.Scientists still have a lot to learn about wind tunnels.
D.There are new ways to feed air to the test section.
