Leaving our hostel in the centre of Phnom Penh, we climb inside our small Tuk Tuk cabin attached to the back of Kiwi's motorbike; a bottle of water in one hand and a surgeon-style mask in the other we set off on our 45-minute commute. It is a familiar start to the day for me and two other volunteers. We are setting out to work in an orphanage just outside Cambodia's capital city.
The morning rush hour in Phnom Penh is crowded and chaotic. Kiwi directs our path between the trucks, 4×4 Lexus' and countless motorbikes, which often carry entire families. We reach the dusty highway, masks and sunshades firmly in place to protect our eyes and lungs. A mixture of concrete buildings and huts exist along the side of the road among a sea of rubbish. The residents often smile and wave as we pass by.
We turn onto a farm track. The last part of our journey is a roller coaster, jumping out of potholes(路面坑洼) and turning to avoid falling off the sinking road. We pass huts on stilts(木樁), skinny cows and farm yards where children jump and scream upon seeing us. The stream along the side of the road is almost bone dry and vegetation is rare across the fields.
Finally we arrive at our destination: the oasis(令人快慰的地方) is Samrong Farm. By the gates, a group of 10-year-old children compete in the area of marbles. We're greeted by the shouts of "Cha, cha(short for 'teacher')!" from several other kids gathering round. As we climb out of our vehicle, the sun is already hot and the oasis is as dry as the fields surrounding it. In such conditions you would imagine life to be hard, but you wouldn't know it to see the warm smiles and hear the laughter of the residents at Samrong Orphanage.
Compared to children in the Western World they have little and yet they give so much in generosity of spirit and enthusiasm for every day. Despite the journey, it is so good to arrive at work in the morning.
24. Where was the author going?
A. To Samrong Orphanage. B. To the oasis of Samrong.
C. To the capital of Cambodia. D. To the centre of Phnom Penh.
25. What word can be used to describe Kiwi?
A. Disciplined. B. Confident. C. Devoted. D. Ambitious.
26. What did they see along the farm track?
A. Dry bones. B. Shy children. C. Almost bare fields. D. A roller coaster beside it.
27. What can we learn from the story?
A. Enthusiasm of the children. B. Comfort of riding a motorbike.
C. Beauty of working in the morning. D. Pleasure of being in a different culture.
C
There seems to be a lot of talk these days about what is fair, and what is not. Most people tend to believe life should be fair. Some of the 99% seem to believe life has somehow treated them unfairly, and some of the 1% feel life hasn't treated them fairly enough. My questions are these: What is fairness? Is life fair? Should life be fair?
We clearly have no choice about how we come into this world. We have little choice early in life. But as we grow older, choices abound. I have long believed that while we have no control over the beginning of our life, the majority of us have the ability to influence the outcomes we attain. Fairness is a state of mind, and most often, an unhealthy state of mind. Our state in life cannot, or at least should not, be blamed on our parents, our teachers, or our society--it's largely based on the choices we make, and the attitudes we adopt.
Life is full of examples of the uneducated, the mentally and physically challenged people born into war-torn areas, who could have complained about life being unfair, but who instead chose a different path. Regardless of the challenges they faced, they had the character to choose contribution over complaint.
I agree that challenges exist. I agree that many have an uphill battle due to the severity of the challenges they face. What I disagree with is the attempt to use fairness to solve all problems in the world. Rules and orders don't create fairness, but people's desire and determination can work around most life challenges.
It doesn't matter whether you are born with a silver spoon, plastic spoon, or no spoon at all. A friend of mine came to this country from Africa in his late teens, barely spoke the language, drove a cab while working his way through college, and is now the president of a technology services firm. Stories such as this are all around us--they are not miracles, nor are they the rare exception. They do, however, demonstrate blindness to the mindset of the fairness.
28. What does the underlined word "abound" in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Change fully. B. Remain the same. C. Exist in numbers. D. Disappear completely.
29. What opinion does the writer agree with?
A. Most of us can influence the results we achieve.
B. Our background determines our choices.
C. People's desire and determination create unfairness.
D. We should depend on fairness to solve all problems.
30. What is the primary purpose of the text?
A. To promote efforts over complaint. B. To stress the importance of fairness.
C. To share an inspiring story of a friend. D. To prove that fairness is a state of mind.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Fairness Is Justice B. Life Is Not Fair--Deal With It
C. Fairness Comes First D. Fairness Creates Chances
D
You've stopped at a cafe on your way to work, and next thing you know, your latte foam is staring at you. You've had the same furniture for years, but today your cupboard looks sad. You're lying in the park with your friends, and now Jesus is floating by in the clouds--are they seeing him too?!
Why do we see human faces everywhere?
Until now, it has been unclear as to why the brain processes visual signals and represents them in our mind as human faces. However, researchers from the School of Psychology at the University of Sydney have tried evaluating this phenomenon.
The facial recognition response happens fast, only taking a few hundred milliseconds. From an evolutionary perspective, the researchers suggest that the benefit of "never missing a face" outweighs(超過) the error where lifeless objects are seen as faces. Despite knowing that the object you are seeing is not a human face, the perception(知覺) of a face stays. This is known as "face pareidolia".
Pareidolia refers to the tendency to impose a meaningful interpretation on an unclear stimulus(刺激物), making one see an object, pattern or meaning when there is none. Pareidolia was originally considered a symptom of mental disorder, but it is now viewed as a normal human tendency.
Pareidolia has been investigated by scientists and has been present in art and literature for a long period of time. In Shakespeare's Hamlet, Hamlet demonstrates his supposed madness in his exchange with Polonius by telling him that he can see a camel in the sky.
The researchers set out to investigate whether a detected pareidolia face would be cast off as a false detection or be analysed for a facial expression. The study participants were presented series of faces and asked to rate each face expression on a scale from angry to happy. The series involved a mix of both real and pareidolia faces.
The researchers have found that pareidolia faces are not cast off as false detections, but rather undergo an internal "facial expression analysis", in the same way a real face would. This is likely because humans are deeply social beings. Additionally, they found that biases(成見) often seen when judging human faces in the analysis of the pareidolia faces.
So, the next time that you see an angry tree, don't be surprised and remember it's not personal.
32. What is the function of the first paragraph?
A. To present a finding. B. To warn the readers.
C. To introduce the topic. D. To arouse the readers' awareness.
33. How do the researchers, from an evolutionary perspective, understand the facial recognition response?
A. Our brain is good at processing signals.
B. The image of a human face will last long.
C. Our brain wrongly interprets signals as human faces.
D. There might be risks when lifeless objects are not seen as faces.
34. What happens in a pareidolia?
A. People suffer mental disorder. B. People see an unclear stimulus.
C. People imagine seeing a human face. D. People interpret things meaningfully.
35. What can be inferred about participants seeing real human faces in the research?
A. They discount the facial expressions. B. They prefer real faces to false ones.
C. They tend to make biased judgment. D. They compare real faces to pareidolia ones.

閱讀下面短文,從短文后的選項中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。
There have been several incidents in recent years where people died because of unsafe crowd conditions and stampedes(人群的蜂擁),the latest one unfolding in Seoul, South Korea, with at least 155 deaths reported. This may leave some people thinking there's little you can do to survive a stampede. 36 But crowd-safety experts say there are several strategies that could help you avoid a potentially deadly outcome. Consider these steps below:
The key to staying safe in a crowd begins as soon as you arrive at the location, says Randy Atlas, a safety consultant based in Fort Lauderdale. 37 It's a piece of common sense advice that Atlas applies not just at big events, but even when entering almost any room.
If there's a sudden panic and crowds begin to push in a certain direction, your instinct(本能) may be to fight back and push the opposite way. 38 If you go against the flow, you increase your chances of getting tripped and knocked down. Another risk, according to experts: If you fight the crowd, you will tire yourself out quickly in a situation where energy is needed.
As you move forward with the crowd, it's best to move in a diagonal(對角線的) direction so you can potentially angle your way out of the situation. The goal is to get to the edge of the stampede where it's less likely that you'll end up stuck at a choke-point, like a doorway.
39 Look for a solid structure to stand behind such as a pillar or a wall. Other places to duck: behind a car or even a lamp post.
In many stampede events, people die simply because they are crushed to the point they can't breathe. But a possible way to avoid this is to place your arms in front of you, almost in a boxer- like position. That could give you some very valuable breathing room--literally. 40
A. Another potential way is to shelter yourself.
B. But that could be a big mistake, Atlas warns.
C. In this case, you don't necessarily have to wait and let time slip by.
D. Namely, he advises people to take note of where the nearest exits are.
E. It's a simple pose, but surprisingly effective and possibly life-saving.
F. Other events, such as a Halloween gathering, are likely to turn deadly.
G. Indeed, it's a frightening situation and circumstances may make it impossible to escape.

I was a vet in Yorkshire. One day I received a call from Mrs Tompkin asking me to cut the beak(喙)of her budgie's(虎皮鸚鵡).I armed myself with a pair of clippers and stepped onto the narrow strip of pavement which separated the door from the road. A pleasant looking red-haired woman answered my knock.
“I'm Mrs Dodds from next door," she said. “I keep an eye on the old lady. She's over eighty and lives alone. ”
She led me into the cramped little room. "Here's Mr Herriot coming to sec Peter for you," she said to the old woman who sat in a corner. Mrs Tornpkin nodded and smiled, "Oh that's good. Poor little fella can hardly eat with its long beak and I'm worried about him. He's my only companion, you know. "
“Yes, I understand, Mrs Tompkin. ”I looked at the cage by the window with the green budgie perched(棲息)inside. "These little birds can be wonderful company when they start chattering.”
She laughed. "Yes, but it's a funny thing. Peter never has said that much. I think he's lazy! But I just like having him with me.”
“Of course you do," I said, "but he certainly needs attention now.”
The beak was greatly overgrown, curving away down till it touched the feathers of the breast. I would be able to revolutionize his life with one quick snip from my clippers. The way I was feeling this job was right up my street.
I opened the cage door and slowly inserted my hand.
"Come on, Peter," I wheedled(哄騙). As l lifted him out, I felt in my pocket with the other hand for the clippers, Then T stopped.
The tiny head was no longer poking cheekily from my fingers but had fallen loosely to one side. The eyes were closed. He was dead.
Mrs Dodds and I looked at each other in horror. When I turned my head towards Mrs Tompkin, I was surprised to see that she was still nodding and smiling.
I drew her neighbor to one side. "Mrs Dodds, how much does she see?"
"Oh, she's very short-sighted but she's right vain despite her age. Never would she wear glasses. She's hard of hearing, too. "
"Well, look," I said. My heart was still pounding. "I just don't know what to do. If I tell her about this, the shock will be terrible. Anything could happen. "
Mrs Dodds nodded, stricken-faced. "Yes, you're right. She's that attached to the little thing. "

高考八省聯考省份
參與聯考的省份有:廣東、江蘇、河北、湖南、遼寧、湖北、重慶、福建。
八省聯考會公布成績,公布成績出來之后,就會給廣大考生有一個比較重要的一個參考,就是在今后在志愿填報的時候,就可以根據模擬考試的成績來進行志愿填報。
大家都知道,高考志愿填報是一個非常重要的工作,如果志愿沒有填好,那你高考考出的分數再高,那也是沒用的,畢竟高考成功只是最后成功的一半,另一半就是看你的志愿填報的怎么樣。
通過這次模擬考試得到相應的成績之后,就可以提前做好自己的志愿填報規劃,有利于今后在正式高考之后填報志愿的時候,就更加科學有效,也更加能夠從容不迫。
八省聯考和高考有關系嗎
八省聯考適應性考試為新高考做準備
這次適應性考試過后,深受考生熱議的一點就是考試的難度,特別是語數英三科八省統考的科目,大部分考生都覺得難度超出預料,如果高考也是這種難度,那就不用考大學了。另一熱議的點就是這次考試前網上疑似存在泄題,有的考生考前已經看過部分試題。并擔心這次適應性考試的成績會不會影響高考的難度。其實,這次適應性考試更多的是“適應”就是讓考生以及老師提前適應新高考。而對于考試難度以及影響高考試題的一方面完全是不存在的。這次適應性考試成績也不會和高考有什么關系,考生們完全不同擔心。
此外,雖然是八省聯考,但也僅僅是考試時間相同而已,各省之間的成績沒有可對比性,因為選考科目是各省自主命題的,只有語數英是教育部統一命題。總而言之,這次適應性考試,顧名思義,重點在于“適應”。考生們不要本末倒置,反而影響到高考的心態。
八省聯考和高考哪個難
差不多,我覺得就是這個難度還有題型,包括就是具體的一些這個新穎度,知識點的變化,肯定和新高考的會有很多的固定一樣的東西,所以說的話肯定是有借鑒意義的。
但是,這不代表著出卷老師會是同一批人,就算是同一批人,出高考卷子的這一批人,出的高考卷子絕對也是可能不同風格,思維的啊,總是高考這一個環節是要有創新的,或者是說是要有一些東西是前面所沒涉及到的,那么不可能完全的死搬教條地照抄,或者是簡單的照模擬考試,這樣去進行照搬,那肯定是不可能的。
如何復習高中英語
1、背單詞
高考3500,可以利用艾賓浩斯曲線進行背誦。背單詞也是每天都必須做的事情,重復才會讓單詞變得熟悉起來。沒有背完單詞之前不要盲目做真題。同時準備一個單詞本,將每天沒有記住的單詞、一詞多義的單詞、做閱讀時不認識的單詞整理上去,利用碎片時間進行背誦、復習。
2、聽力
聽力是每天都要聽的,每天抽出半個小時進行聽力的練習,一直堅持到高考,一定會有所收獲。
3、做真題
做近十年的高考卷。做到什么程度呢?要能夠認識試卷里的每一個單詞,說出一句話你就能找到位置的程度。
4、錯題本
同樣,英語也是需要錯題本的,可以按照整套試卷進行整理。
5、作文
可以將一些作文例句積累到筆記本上,每次積累的時候可以對之前積累的內容進行復習。還有一些萬能句,也不要忘了喔!練字對于英語作文也是非常重要的,可以與語文練字間隔著進行。
英語復習要養成好習慣
(1)養成提問的好習慣。它不僅有利于語言學習,也是個人成長的好習慣。
(2) 學習時要準備好學習工具,如字典、軟件、筆記本等。
(3)將經常出現的錯誤記錄在小筆記本上,不斷復習鞏固,避免重復錯誤;每天早上起床后大聲朗讀也是一種好習慣。
(4)分階段錄下自己朗讀的聲音文件,保存起來,然后在不同階段放出來聽,看看有沒有明顯的進步。
(5)選擇語言優美的經典名片作為背誦對象。不要只是為了背誦而背誦,有意無意地把發音練習、內容欣賞、單詞記憶、句型鞏固和語感培養作為背誦的對象。
(6)把復習作為學習的重要過程,制定學習復習計劃。
