In 2011, however, Humphreys had some of the biggest adventures of his life-and he never even left the United KingdomFor a year, Humphreys went on microadventures - small low-cost trips close to home. Why did he do this? “I started to think that it was possible to have an adventure anywhere,” he explains. For his first trip, he went hiking with a friend around the M25-a 188-kilometer road that goes all the way around London. Other adventures included swimming in the River Thames, sleeping outside on a hill, and going on a mountain hiking trip. Humphreys learned something important from his microadventures. We find adventures when we try something new. Humphreys wanted other people to male this discovery, too, so he decided to share his idea. He challenged people to go on mibroadventures and send him four-minute videos of their trips. He asked them to do things like climb a hill, go away for a weekend, or choose a random(任意的) place on a map and go there. People from all over the world accepted his challenge and posted their videos on Twitter.58. Which of the following belong to microadventures? Check and choose the right answer. walk across India sleep outside on a hillgo away for a weekend swim in the River Thamesrow from Africa to South America hike around the road around LondonA. B. C. D. 59. What can we know about Humphreys personality according to the passage?A. Brave, creative and active. B. Proud, humorous and kind. C. Careful, quiet and hard-working D. Confident, strict and warm-hearted. 60. What would be the best title for the passage?A. A Big Challenge B. An Amazing TravelC. Keep a Trip Record D. Go for a MicroadventureCToday, by carefully choosing dog parents, humans have created many different kinds of dog. Each kind has its own look and talents, and its own role within human society. Here are three examples of a dogs life in the human world. Today, many hospitals let specially trained dogs in to bring love and cheer to patients. Shaynee is a therapy(治疗) dog. She visits children who are in hospital. Dogs like Shaynee help patients feel calm and at peace, which can be hard in a busy hospital. They help both children and adults stay strong during long hospital stays, and, some suggest, even help them get better. Today, some beagles(小猎犬)work in airports for the government. They are part of the program called the Beagle Brigade. A beagle is good for the work because of its powerful nose, and ability to follow smells. The Beagle Brigades job is to smell everything that comes into the country. They make officers notice illegal(非法的)fruits, vegetables, and other foods in luggage or in mail. The beagles do the job far better than any human could. While some dogs are working hard, others are free to spend their days resting and playing. Across the world, many pet dogs are treated like children. Many have their own rooms and all the things a dog could want. Some even have their own clothes. Many of these pets spend their days playing, learning to follow, or even going to classes. Their owners give them the best, and enjoy doing so. Whether as workers or objects of affection(钟情) ,dogs have become helpful to humans in many ways. There are plenty of advantages for the dog, too. Many kinds of wild dogs have nearly disappeared from the Earth. However, the domestic dogs special place as mans best friend has allowed it to survive(存活)in a human world. 61. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?A. Hospitals need many special dogs. B. Dogs can take care of patients. C. Patients need love in the hospital. D. Doctors are too busy to see patients. 62. What does the underlined word domestic in Paragraph 5 mean?A. Trained. B. Smart. C. Hungry. D. Valuable. 63. Whats the purpose of the passage?A. To ask people to treat dogs as their own children. B. To explain why humans need beagles in their work. C. To tell people about the history of dogs development. D. To show a good relationship between dogs and humans. 64. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?A. B. C. D. DEight hundred years ago, a man in southern Turkey invented an amazing clock. It was more than 7 meters high. At its base(基座)was a life-size model elephant. Every half hour, something amazing happened. The whole clock came alive: Model birds, dragons, and people started to move. The clocks inventor was an engineer named al-Jazari. He lived in Turkey. Al-Jazari was probably one of the greatest engineers in history. Some historians call him the father of modern-day engineering”.We know about al-Jazari mostly from a book that he wrote. _ They include clocks and hand-washing machines. The book also has drawings that show how each machine works. Many everyday things today-from toys to car engines(发动机)still use al-Jazaris ideas. Without his machines with moving parts, we might not have modern-day robotsToday, it is still possible to see what al-Jazaris elephant clock looked like. A full-size working model is in Dubais Ibn Battuta Mall. There, every half hour, al-Jararis most amazing invention comes to life once again. How Does the Elephant Clock Work?A bowl with a small hole floats(浮)in a water tank(水箱)inside the elephants body. As the bowl slowly sinks(下沉) ,it pulls a rope that moves a human figure. His moving pen shows the number of minutes past the hour. Every half hour, the water bowl becomes full and sinks completely. This causes a ball to fall from the top of the clock. The movement of the ball causes a phoenix to move and make a sound. The ball then drops out of a falcons mouth into the mouth of a Chinese dragon. The weight of the ball causes the dragons head to move down, and the dragons tail pulls the water bowl back up. Finally, the ball drops out of the dragons mouth and into a vase. As the ball lands in the vase, the elephant driver moves and makes a sound. The cycle begins again until there are no more balls in the top of the clock. 65. Why is al-Jazari called the father of modern-day engineering?A. His ideas are still widely used in machines. B. The elephant clock is an amazing invention. C. His inventions include some parts of modern robots. D. His book about machines is still popular with readers. 66. Choose the best sentence to fill in the blank “_” in Paragraph 3. A. He became famous when he was a young man. B. He invented a lot of everyday machines in history. C. It describes a number of machines of all shapes and sizes. D. People in Turkey enjoy reading his books in their free time. 67. What does the underlined word This in Paragraph 7 refer to?A. The pen moves. B. The ball drops. C. The bowl sinks completely D. The bowl pulls the rope68. How does the elephant clock work? Put the steps in the correct order.a. The ball drops into the vase. b. The ball drops into the dragons mouthc. The elephant driver moves and makes a soundd. After 30 minutes, a ball starts to fall from the top. e. The bowl moves down in the water and pulls on ropesA. b-d-a-c-e B. e-d-b-a-c C. a-e-b-d-c D. c-a-d-e-bE

At its base(基座)was a life-size model elephant. Every half hour, something amazing happened. The whole clock came alive: Model birds, dragons, and people started to move. The clocks inventor was an engineer named al-Jazari. He lived in Turkey. Al-Jazari was probably one of the greatest engineers in history. Some historians call him the father of modern-day engineering”.We know about al-Jazari mostly from a book that he wrote. _ They include clocks and hand-washing machines. The book also has drawings that show how each machine works. Many everyday things today-from toys to car engines(发动机)still use al-Jazaris ideas. Without his machines with moving parts, we might not have modern-day robotsToday, it is still possible to see what al-Jazaris elephant clock looked like. A full-size working model is in Dubais Ibn Battuta Mall. There, every half hour, al-Jararis most amazing invention comes to life once again. How Does the Elephant Clock Work?A bowl with a small hole floats(浮)in a water tank(水箱)inside the elephants body. As the bowl slowly sinks(下沉) ,it pulls a rope that moves a human figure. His moving pen shows the number of minutes past the hour. Every half hour, the water bowl becomes full and sinks completely. This causes a ball to fall from the top of the clock. The movement of the ball causes a phoenix to move and make a sound. The ball then drops out of a falcons mouth into the mouth of a Chinese dragon. The weight of the ball causes the dragons head to move down, and the dragons tail pulls the water bowl back up. Finally, the ball drops out of the dragons mouth and into a vase. As the ball lands in the vase, the elephant driver moves and makes a sound. The cycle begins again until there are no more balls in the top of the clock. 65.
