I'm not a good traveler. Without curiosity to get out and 1 , traveling has never been my strong point.

If we're seeking a similar motivation, look into fitness programs that encourage friendly competition.
•Team up with others.
. In that same study, another group of workers was asked to divide into teams of three. Each day, one member of the group was selected to represent the entire team with his/her individual step count of the day.

4、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
In a fascinating discovery, western lowland gorillas (大猩猩) at Zoo Atlanta have been caught summoning their keepers using a strange cough-sneeze mixture, which researchers have called a "snough". Only two other species have displayed this ability to create new vocalizations to attract our attention: zoo-housed chimpanzees and orangutans. Now, we can add gorillas to that list.
As many of us know, Koko put a spotlight on gorilla intelligence in the 1980s and 1990s with her incredible ability to communicate with humans using sign language. She was trained and worked hard at it, but now it seems gorillas have taken it upon themselves to establish unique communication with us in their own way.
Roberta Salmi, a biological anthropologist at the University of Georgia, and colleagues ran an experiment to confirm the purpose of the "snough", by placing eight of the zoo's gorillas in three different situations. In the first, only the keeper was present; in the second only the food was present; in the final one, the keeper was holding the food. The food and keeper were in sight but out of reach. The gorillas involved used the "snough" vocalization most when there was a human present with food, indicating the call is likely an attempt to get the keeper's attention.
This complex vocal learning—the ability to produce unique calls—is rare in the animal kingdom and confirmed only in some species of birds, bats and elephants. But they all do so by imitating. The analysis showed the gorilla's "snough" is a unique sound, not an imitation—although they are certainly capable of imitating us in other ways.
"These results demonstrate that gorillas can change their calls to produce a novel sound and furthermore confirm that they can produce their calls and gestures intentionally to change the attention state of their caregiver," the team concluded in their paper. We've clearly long underestimated these clever souls.
(1)、Which of the following can replace "summoning" underlined in paragraph 1?A、pleasing B、calling C、finding D、warning(2)、How did the researchers carry out the research?A、By ordering the gorillas to make the "snough" vocalization. B、By training the gorillas to attract their keepers' attention. C、By comparing the gorillas' reactions in different situations. D、By gathering information about the gorillas from their keepers.(3)、Why does the author mention some other animals in paragraph 4?A、To illustrate gorillas can imitate humans in other ways. B、To confirm only gorillas have the ability to produce unique calls. C、To prove the animals can produce unique calls through imitation. D、To show gorillas' ability to invent the new vocalization is uncommon.(4)、What can be inferred from the research?A、Some animals have the ability to make new sounds. B、Gorillas can create a new sound to draw zookeepers' attention. C、Some intelligent animals try to attract attention by imitating. D、Gorillas are able to communicate with humans using unique gestures. -

Every April 22 people come together to take action that will protect the environment. One theme of Earth Day is "Invest(投资) In Our Planet". So how is investment in eco-innovation helping to deliver a more sustainable future?
When it comes to the environment, it can be argued that the technology industry is both the problem and the solution. Tech is responsible for between 3.5% and 4% of global greenhouse gas emissions(排放物). And the EU believes the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector is responsible for10% of all electricity consumption. On the other hand, we all want a sustainable future for the planet. Yet we also want the convenience and fun of modern living. Obviously, only eco-innovation can deliver the solutions.
Eco-innovation is the key to doing more with less. All over the world, and across many different industries, innovators are working to reduce the human footprint while improving productivity. Innovative farming is a good example.
Until recently, most agricultural improvements focused on the development of machines. Now digital tools are causing a new wave of efficiency. Innovative farming companies look to increase farm efficiency and reduce input waste through farming techniques. And they are using real-time devices located in the field or in equipment. The data collected by these devices help farmers make better decisions about where to provide effort and resources while reducing the environmental footprint.
As people's awareness of environmental protection continues to increase, the tech industry needs to keep working on the inventions like those described above. These breakthroughs will help us all to do more with less. Also, tech companies are facing calls to keep their own houses in order. Lawmakers and consumers want them to use fewer materials in the production process and rethink their approach to recycling and waste. The good news is that governments and eco-innovative companies have already carried out a major clean-up mission.
(1)、What can we learn about the technology industry according to paragraph 2?A、It contributes to saving electricity. B、It will change our traditional way of life. C、It benefits and damages the environment. D、It is a major cause of greenhouse gas emissions.(2)、Which of the following plays an important role in agricultural improvement?A、The use of digital equipment. B、The training of farmers. C、The collection of resources. D、The invention of machines.(3)、What are tech companies expected to do?A、Build more greenhouses. B、Meet the market requirements. C、Watch their environmental behavior. D、Change their management style.(4)、What is the best title for the text?A、The long-term goal of Earth Day B、Modern farming and technological change C、The key to the development of technology industry D、Eco-innovation and environmental protection -
6、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
I sat in the corner of my favorite Boston bookstore, opened my laptop and wrote. Ten minutes ago I ordered coffee. The server—a young woman with a broad smile—paused and quietly said, "I just want to tell you how much your TED talk meant to me—how much it inspired me. A couple of years ago my professor showed us the video in a class. Now I'm applying to medical school, and I just want you to know I stood in the bathroom like Wonder Woman before I took my MCAT (Medical College Admission Test), and it really helped. So I just want to say thanks."
Tears in my eyes, I asked, "What's your name?" "Fetaine," she said.
This kind of interaction happens far more frequently than I'd ever have imagined: a stranger warmly greets me, shares a personal story about successfully dealing with a big challenge, and then simply thanks me for my part in it. They're women and men, old and young, struggling and wealthy. But something connects them: all have felt powerless in the face of great pressure and anxiety, and all have discovered a remarkably simple way to release themselves from that feeling of powerlessness.
For most authors, the book comes first, then the responses. For me, it was the other way around. First, I wrote some scholarly articles, which no one ever read; they inspired a talk I delivered at the TED Global Conference in 2012. In it, I discussed research I had done that yielded an odd and unexpected finding about how our bodies influence our brains. As a result of this research, I was able to describe a technique—that Wonder Woman-in-the-bathroom thing Fetaine mentioned...that can quickly increase our confidence and decrease our anxiety in challenging situations. Immediately after the 21-minute video of the talk was posted on the Internet, I began hearing from people who had seen it.
Of course, my speech didn't magically give Fetaine the knowledge she needed to do well on the MCAT. But it may have released her from the fear that could have prevented her from expressing the things she knew.
(1)、What happened in the Boston bookstore?A、The author encountered a friend. B、A server inspired the author's TED talk. C、A waitress expressed her gratitude to the author. D、The author waited for the server to share her story.(2)、What did those people approaching the author have in common?A、They were losers in life. B、They once faced problems and felt helpless. C、They shared stories of many strangers. D、They looked forward to interacting with others.(3)、What may be the theme of the author's talk in 2012?A、How to increase confidence. B、How to overcome speech anxiety. C、How to find unexpected things in life. D、How to conduct scientific experiments.(4)、How did the author influence Fetaine in the author's eyes?A、She advised Fetaine to take the MCAT. B、She gave Fetaine the knowledge she needed. C、She freed Fetaine from the fear of telling the truth. D、She helped Fetaine gather the courage to present herself. -

18、 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was confident at the audition (试演) for the school play and felt pleased to get a role. It just felt good to be in the play, even if I had only four or five lines. I worked hard at perfecting those lines. I repeated them over and over again. I put in the emphases and intonations (语调) that my drama teacher had suggested and, because I was on stage much longer than for just four or five lines, I had many actions to rehearse (排练) and perform. "Do them in front of a mirror," my drama teacher had advised me. "Watch how you look; practice and rehearse as often as you can." I did just that. I worked and worked at it. It was fun and exciting rehearsing.
Then finally the big night came. Suddenly, things felt different. The theater was full of people. As I dressed, I could hear the chatting and noises of the audience. I looked around at the other more experienced actors and saw that their previous confidence seemed to have disappeared. Had they got their makeup right? Was the costume done up correctly? What if they forgot their lines? The more people talked about their anxiety, the more nervous everyone became. The worries spread from person to another—like a baton (接力棒) being passed in a relay race—until the whole of the backstage area seemed to be full of tension and worry.
I was on stage early, at first performing my non-spoken role in the background with several other guys around the same age. When, suddenly, I heard my cue (出场提示),the lights were bright in my eyes, I couldn't see the audience but knew there were hundreds of people out there all watching me. The words that had flowed so easily when I stood in front of a mirror didn't want to come, and when they did I found myself hurrying into them. I tried to slow down my thoughts and my words.
注意:
1)续写词数应为 150 左右;
2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
But I suddenly realized I had missed a sentence.
I bowed to the audience excitedly and went back to my drama teacher.
