Tree Assessment---A tree assessment provides customers, for a small fee, with a verbal explanation of the condition of their trees. In addition, the arborist may describe any DIY options you might have to correct or improve the problem. It is also of value for customers who cannot afford to have tree services done at this time but only want to make a budget now.

Tree Planting---We have a large selection of affordable high quality trees that are handpicked by our arborists, or our customers can also purchase their own trees and have them planted under the best conditions by a knowledgeable professional from our company.

In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child’s acquisition of each new skill—— the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early. A young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.

　　Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters. Others are severe over time of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child’s own happiness.

　　As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very essential in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality. Also, parents should realize that “example is better than precept”. If they are not sincere and do not practice what they say, their children may grow confused and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.

　　A sudden awareness of an obvious difference between their parents’ principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.　　

24. In the process of children’s learning new skills parents ________.

　 A. should encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they read

　 B. should not expect too much of them

　 C. should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their own

　 D. should create as many learning opportunities as possible

25. The second paragraph mainly tells us that _________.

　 A. parents should be strict with their children

B. parental controls reflect only the needs of the parents and the values of the community 　　

C. parental restrictions vary, and are not always enforced for the benefit of the children alone

　D. parents vary in their strictness towards their children according to the situation

26. The word “precept” (Line3, Para.3) probably means “_______”.

  A. ideas             B. punishment　　       C. behavior       D. instructions

27. In moral matters, parents should ________.

  A. observe the rules themselves

  B. be aware of the marked difference between adults and children

  C. forbid things which have no foundation in morality

  D. consistently ensure the security of their children

C

Like to watch TV or play with your phone while you eat your dinner? Watch out—it could make you pile on the pounds. Not paying attention to our food makes us tend to snack more later.

    Over a series of experiments were carried out by researchers. For the first experiment,39 normal-weight young women were randomly assigned to one of three experimental conditions: a high-distraction group, a low-distraction group, and a no-distraction group. Each person was given the same 400-calorie lunch consisting of several food items presented in a fixed order, and instructed to eat all of the items.

    In the high-distraction group, the women were told to play a computer game while eating, and that they would win money if they did well. In the low-distraction group they were just told to play the game while eating; and in the third group they were just told to eat their lunch. Later in the afternoon, each participant had access to a variety of biscuits on a plate, and the amount each person ate was assessed by weighing the plate before and afterwards.

    There was a significant difference between the groups. Those in the high-distraction condition ate 69 percent more snacks than the no-distraction group, and those in the low-distraction group ate 28 percent more than those in the no-distraction group.

    A second experiment, involving a further 63 people, was similar but involved watching TV in the distraction condition and eating soup and bread. This found that those who watched TV while eating their lunch ate 19 percent more biscuits later on than those who had eaten their meal without any distractions.

    A third experiment was also carried out, in which 45 normal-weight people were allocated to three groups. The first listened to an audio clip instructing them to imagine they were watching themselves eat—making them extremely focused on their own food intake. The second listened to a clip instructing them to imagine they were watching a celebrity—specifically David Beckham—eat, making them still focused on the food, but to a lesser degree; the third, which was the control group, just ate their lunch in silence. When all participants were given access to biscuits later, those in the self-imagining group-i.e. those who had really paid attention to what they were eating—ate far fewer than the other groups.   

28.Why does eating dinner with a TV or a Smartphone make us fat?           

A. Because we’re more likely to snack later on.       

B. Because we’re paying more attention to our eating.

C. Because food is becoming more delicious while we’re playing.          

D. Because we need more calories while playing.

29.What do we know about the three experiments?           

A. The low-distraction group ate the most snacks in the first experiment.          

B. Non-distracted members ate more biscuits later in the second experiment.

C. Participants focusing on eating ate far fewer in the third experiment.          

D. Each person was told to watch TV or play a game.

30.What would be the best title for the text?           

A. Eating attentively doesn’t help control appetite.         

B. Attentive eating increases later snack intake.

C. Focusing on food increases later snack intake.         

D. Distraction leads to more snacking later.

31.Where is the text most probably from?           

A. A textbook.                    B. A scientific paper.     

C. A nutrition guidelines.           D. A fashion magazine.

D

      Earth is experiencing its sixth mass extinction: somewhere between 30 and 159 species (物种) disappear every day, and more than 300 types of animals have died out since the 1900s. This is not good for the future of life on our planet, but what if we could make some of the extinct species come back to life? Thanks to ongoing advances in DNA recovery and cloning technology, de-extinction may soon be realized, and we may see Tasmanian Tigers, or Dodo Birds back into existence in the near future.

     Some scientists are confident and optimistic about de-extinction. They think that the best reasons for de-extinction have more to do with ecology than tourism. “lf this is always going to be a zoo animal, then stop,” says Ben Novak, the lead researcher at Revive & Restore---a foundation devoted to rescuing endangered and extinct species in San Francisco, California. “The goals have to be about ecological restoration and function.”

    Take passenger pigeons for example. Their numbers reached nearly 5 billion at the start of the 19th century, and they mattered a lot in shaping the forests they inhabited(居住). After their extinction, the forests have never been the same. The passenger pigeon is a very critical ecological species if we want their original habitat back”, Novak says.

      However, we need to think twice about Novak’s idea. Any new scientific idea is bound to have risks, so is de-extinction. Although some assume that de-extinction may help the environment, we can’t be so certain. The de-extinct animals would now be strangers to their habitats. As the habitat is no longer what it was, the species role within the ecosystem may have also changed. This could be actually a threat to the other species within the environment as the de-extinct animals enter the area and compete for food sources. Once again we’re trying to force nature to act in a certain way, rather than letting it remain natural.

     Many scientists also believe that priorities (优先权) would change within the conservation of currently endangered species. Would we still put in the effort to preserve living animals if we knew we could just magically bring them back from the dead? Douglas McCauley, an ecologist at University of California, Santa Barbara, stresses this worry. “Honestly, the thing that scares me most is that the public absorbs the misimpression that extinction is no longer scary. The general attitude becomes: Deforest, no worry, we can reforest. lf we drive something extinct, no worry, we can de-extinct it. ” said McCauley.

It seems that with the subject of de-extinction, we must look at our reasons for doing such a thing. Yes, we may, in the near future, be able to de-extinct the extinct species. But does that mean we should? Are the risks really worth it? Does it make sense to focus on the dead than the living? And who are we truly benefiting in the end?

47. Ben Novak probably agrees that     

A. the value of de-extinction lies in tourism

B. de-extinct animals are unfit to live in the zoo

C. de-extinction results from the change of ecosystem

D. de-extinction aims to bring back former environment

48. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 5?

A. People’s impressions on lost species.

B. Change of public attitudes towards de-extinction.

C. Importance of the conservation of living animals.

D. Effects of de-extinction on the protection of endangered species.

49. What is the author’s attitude toward de-extinction?

A. Optimistic.   B. Neutral.   C. Doubtful.  D. Supportive.

50. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?

I: Introduction    P: Point    Sp:Sub-point(次要点)     C: Conclusion

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Sports performance can be influenced by many different things. ____36___.

There are many physical factors (因素)that play a part in sports performance. ____37_____The natural talent and strength of the players will make a difference. Also, it is important to get enough sleep before you are in a sports event. ____38_____ Eating good meals is also important. When you are hungry, you cannot perform the same. You might be thinking about food when you should be thinking about the game.

Of course, the more a team or a player practices, the more likely they are to perform well. The same person with the same physical abilities might just become better as he practices.

Researching your competitor can matter a lot in sports performance. Knowing their strengths and weaknesses can help you adjust how you play to give yourself a better performance against them.  ___39___ If you can figure out where to hit the ball in tennis that would confuse your competitor, for example, then this can help you score points.

____40___ If someone is very pessimistic about a game, for example, and is sure that he will lose, then he might increase his chances of doing so. If he is very nervous then he might be thinking about that instead of focusing on the game. If he is focused then he might do better, achieving what he didn’t even realize he could. His confidence can also affect how the other team views him.

1. It is important to be aware of these factors.
2. It is necessary to get to know your competitor and yourself.
3. Also，there are ways to play something smartly and do better.
4. If you are tired, you may not perform as you normally would.
5. If you have practiced enough to keep fit, you should have a rest.
6. If someone is in good shape, then of course he will perform better.
