10、e who are skilled at firing a gun and accurately hitting what they are aiming at. However, some fish are also called amazing sharpshooters. People wonder how they hit their targets without using tools? By spitting! The fish shoot so accurately that they rarely miss their target.These amazing fish ar

11、e archerfish (印度射水魚(yú)).There are several different types of archerfish living in Southeast Asia. They spit at their dinner to catch it. To catch dinner, a fish first sets itself in a certain place, for example just below the surface of the water. It puts the tip of its mouth so it barely breaks throug

12、h the water. Then, the fish waits for an unsuspecting insect to land on a leaf or branch hanging over the water.When an unsuspecting, or unknowing insect lands, the fish attacks. The fish squeezes its gill (腮)covers very rapidly, which forces water into the fishs mouth. In the roof of its mouth the

13、fish has a groove (槽） The fish forms the small groove and its tongue into a narrow tube by pressing its tongue up against its groove. The water forced into the fishs mouth is forcefully pushed out of the fishs moulh through the tube. Archerfish have been known to send a stream up to 5 meters (16 fee

14、t). However, archerfish can only shoot insects up to 1-2 meters (3-6 feet) away due to their limited accuracy.When the unsuspecting insect is hit with a sudden stream of water, it is knocked into or falls into the water. Once in the water, the insect becomes dinner. Archerfish learn how to spit when

15、 they are young. They get more accurate with practice. Adult archerfish rarely miss.Within a meter, archerfish will often spring out of the water and grab an insect in their mouths.1、Paragraph 1 flinctions as a(n) .Abackground.Bcomment.Cexplanation.Dintroduction.2、Which of the following is the right

For the majority of us, its other people-society, colleagues, friends, family or our community. We learned this way of oper

19、ating when we were very young,of course. We were brainwashed. We discovered that feeling important and feeling accepted was a nice experience and so we learned to do everything we could to make other people like us. As Oscar Wilde puts it, Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone els

20、es opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation. So when people tell us how wonderful we are, it makes us feel good. We long for this good feeling like a drug-we are addicted to it and seek it out wherever we can. Therefore, we are so eager for the approval of others that we live unha

21、ppy and limited lives, failing to do the things we really want to. Just as drug addicts and alcoholics live worsened lives to keep getting their fix(成癮物)we worsen our own existence to get our own constant fix of approval.But, just as with any drug. there is a price to pay. The price of the approval

22、drug is freedom-the freedom to be ourselves. The truth is that we cannot control what other people think. People have their own agenda, and they come with their own baggage and, in the end, theyre more interested in themselves than in you. Furthermore, if we try to live by the opinions of others, we

23、 will build our life on sinking sand. Everyone has a different way of thinking, and people change their opinions all the time. The person who tries to please everyone will only end up getting exhausted (tired) and probably pleasing no one in the process.So how can we take back control? I think there

24、s only one way-make a conscious decision to stop caring what other people think. We should guide ourselves by means of a set of values- not values imposed from the outside by others. but innate values which come from within. If we are driven by these values and not by the changing opinions and value

25、 systems of others. we will live a more authentic, effective, purposeful and happy life.1、What Oscar Wilde says implies that .Amost people have a variety of thoughtsBwe have thoughts similar to those of othersCother peoples thoughts are more importantDmost peoples thoughts are affected by others2、Wh

26、at does the author try to argue in the third paragraph?AThe price of taking the drug is freedom.BWe may lose ourselves to win the approval of others.CWe need to pay for what we want to get.DChanging opinions may cost us our freedom.3、It can be concluded from the passage that .Aits better to follow o

27、thers opinionsBits important to accept others commentsCwe shouldnt change our own decisionDwe shouldnt care too much what others think4、The author tries to persuade the readers to accept his arguments mainly by .Adiscussing questionsBmaking suggestionsCanalyzing causes and effectsDproviding examples

35、. There lived the sage that he was looking for.With considerable patience, the sage listened attentively to the reason for the boys visit, but told him that at that moment he did not have time to explain to him the secret of happiness.He suggested that the young man take a walk around his palace and

36、 come back in two hours time.“However, I want to ask you a favor,” he added, banding the boy a teaspoon, in which he poured two drops of oil. “While you walk, carry this spoon and dont let the oil spill.”The young man began to climb up and down the palace staircases, always keeping his eyes fixed on

37、 the spoon. At the end of two hours he returned to the presence of the wise man.“So,” asked the sage, “did you see the Persian tapestries(掛毯)hanging in my dining room? Did you see the fantastic garden that the Master of Gardeners spent ten years in creating?”Embarrassed, the young man admitted that

38、he had seen nothing.“So, go back and see the wonders of my world,” said the wise man. “You cant trust a man if you dont know his house.”Now more at ease, the young man took the spoon and wandered again through the palace, this time paying attention to all the works of art that hung from the ceilings

39、 and walls. He saw the gardens, the mountains all around the palace, and the delicacy of the flowers. Returning to the sage, he reported in detail what he had seen.“But where are the two drops of oil that I entrusted to you?” asked the Sage.Looking down at the spoon, the young man realized that he h

40、ad spilled the oil.“Well, that is the only advice I have to give you,” said the sage of sages. “The secret of happiness lies in looking at all the wonders of the world and never forgetting the two drops of oil in the spoon.”1、What was the intention of the young man to travel to look for the sage?ATo

45、een enjoyment and commitment25（10分）For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?Both

46、sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents “point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents” complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens

47、 see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped.In this article, Ill describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things. Examples include the c

48、olor of the teens hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the childs failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is th

49、e reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It doesnt matter what the topic is - politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg - the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority -

50、 someone who actually knows something - and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, theyll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.1、Why does the author compare the parent - teen

51、 war to a border conflict?Aboth can continue for generations.BBoth are about where to draw the line.CNeither has any clear winner.DNeither can be put to an end.2、What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?AThe teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.BThe teens agree with their par

52、ents on the cause of the conflict.CThe teens cause their parents of misleading them.DThe teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents.3、Parents and teens want to be right because they want to .Agive orders to the otherBknow more than the otherCgain respect from the otherDget the other to
