On a freezing January morning Jonny Benjamin, then a 20-year-old college student, climbed on 
the edge of Waterloo Bridge in London. That morning, Jonny escaped from a mental health hospital, 
where he'd been diagnosed (诊断)with schizoaffective disorder. He headed straight to the bridge, 
convinced that his disease was a life sentence.
Hundreds  of  people  passed  by.  Only  one  man  called  Neil  Lay  bourn,  then  25,  calmly  and 
quietly walked to Jonny's side.
“You're alright, man? Why are you sitting on a bridge?”

manner struck a chord. Jonny felt faith, like he could talk to him.
“It's cold here. Why not have some coffee in a warm cafe? Everything will be OK.” For the first 
time after the diagnosis Jonny Celt perhaps it really might. He climbed back.

Jonny ended up back in hospital. Eventually, he was well enough to return to university and 
finish his degree. Over the next six years, Jonny often thought about the stranger who had talked him 
round. Eager to thank him in person, he posted a Facebook message nicknaming the good man Mike. 
His Find- Mike post was shared millions of times around the world, as far as Canada.Jonny  was  overexcited  when  Neil  called  him  two  weeks  after  his  post.  They  had  a  reunion, 
finally having that coffee they had first planned all those years ago.

life.” Jonny said.

The  seabird  population  on  a  small  British  island  off  the  coast  Devon  and  South  Wales  has 
increased quickly following the removal of rats.
There has been a growth in the numbers of Manx shearwater, puffins and guillemots on Lundy 
Island 15 years after a conservation project to remove its rats ended. The project was launched 'in 
2003 by the Landmark Trust, the National Trust and The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds 
(RSPB), and aimed to kill the rats because they were the biggest threat to the survival of the birds. A 
cull (选择性宰杀)costing 50,000 pounds was used to get rid of 40,000 rats on the island when puffin 
numbers fell to fewer than 10 pairs.
Helen  Booker,  senior  conservation  officer  for  RSPB  in  south-west  England,  said  the 
organization is delighted with the results. w This study clearly shows how quickly and positively 
seabirds respond to the removal of non-native predators (捕猎者)," she said. "Of course, we had 
expected major population increases when the project was launched, but the scale of this recovery 
has far beyond our expectations."
Dean  Jones,  the  inspector  on  Lundy,  which  is  managed  by  the  Landmark  Trust,  said  the recovery of the seabirds was a positive, but that it is important to remain cautious・"It is exciting to 
see this level of recovery in Manx shearwaters, one of our most important seabirds. In spring the 
island  comes  alive  at  night  with  the  sound  of  these  amazing  birds.  The  increases  in  puffins, 
guillemots and razorbills are also very encouraging for the future of seabirds on Lundy and we are 
maintaining our attention to ensure rats cannot return to the island. "
A recent study found that nearly 10 percent of endangered bird, mammal, amphibian and reptile 
species could be saved by culling invasive (入侵的)mammals such as cats and rats on 169 islands. 
But  rat  removal  programs  have  been  controversial  with  some  animal  rights  activists,  who  have 
argued that the black rat is one of the country's most endangered mammals.
28. Why did British carry out the project to remove rats?
A. To kill invasive species.        B. To save seabirds in danger.
C. To keep balance in nature.      D. To decrease the rat's number.
29. What can we infer about the rat removal project?
A. It is favored by animal rights groups.
B. It started when guillemot is nearly dying out.
C. It has protected 10% of species on UK's 169 islands.
D. It contributes to more increases in seabirds than expected.
30. What will be done next according to Dean Jones?
A. Plan the future of seabirds.        B. Speed up the recovery of seabirds.
C. Keep a careful watch for rats.      D. Continue to drive away rats and cats.
31. Where is the text most likely from?
A. A news report.   B. A research paper.     C. A biology textbook.   D. A medical magazine.
D
What if a rollercoaster ride looked like this: no rails, no trains, just a chair on a mechanical arm 
(机械手臂)and a pair of glasses-VR glasses meaning virtual reality? That's how it is in Nanchang, 
China, where a new amusement park relies entirely on digital entertainment.
Compared with a traditional theme park, this VR theme park takes up smaller space and much 
less time to build, but it brings visitors similar playing experience. The park uses VR for a variety of 
attractions, including the roller coaster ride, a musical video game where you have to hit the right notes, and a shooter in a completely unreal environment. It really gives you the feeling of reality.
The  park  wants  to  invest  in  a  future  technology  and  hopes  to  keep  peopled  fascination  with 
virtual reality of life. For the technology, it is still highly experimental. What we want to do with 
virtual reality is to experience things in and beyond reality, but in fact the VR we can experience 
right now has a lot of limits. For example, although on the visual front, we can say we've broken past 
reality  in  our  visual  experience,  there's  still  a  lack  of  physical  feedback,  meaning  we  can  see  the 
virtual  world  around  us  but  we  can't  feel  them.  That  limits  the  technology's  appeal  from  many 
applications.
For now, one of its main uses is in professional training. For example, for pilots in a Boeing VR 
simulator(模拟器),  a real touchable interface is combined with a virtual world outside. Some 
significant development is still needed before we can virtually wander around in our houses, go for a 
walk  without  leaving  the  house  or  actually  hold  a  product  in  our  hands  before  buying  it  online. 
Nanchang hopes to become a significant VR player in the future not just with digital   rollercoasters. 
32. What can be an advantage of the VR theme park over traditional ones?
A. Its lower cost.          B. Its shorter building time.
C. Its larger area.          D. Its more exciting attractions.
33. What is the third paragraph about?
A. The Emits of the present VR technology.
B. The uses of VR technology in the future.
C. The vivid experience of playing a VR roller coaster.
D. The experiments done to improve VR technology.
34. What can be done now with the aid of VR technology?
A. Playing a musical instrument.   B. Walking out without leaving the house.
C. Training pilots in a simulator.   D. Touching a product when shopping online.
35. What’s the best title for the text?
A. A Roller Coaster without Rails
B. Nanchang:the Next King of VR Technology
C. Virtual Reality: Advantages and Disadvantages
D. VR Brings Theme Park Visitors New Experience

Humans were made for walking. With our upright posture, quick-changing joints, and strong 
leg muscles, our bodies were actually designed with walking in mind—which is what makes it such 
perfect exercise.     36   And best of all, it's a great way to see new things and meet new people!
Wherever  you  are,  in  the  city  or  at  the  campground,  you'll  find  plenty  of  walking  going  on. 
Maybe you already love to walk, but you'll getting tired of tracing your same old route day after 
day—or maybe you're new to walking and aren't sure how to get started.    37    To get started, sit 
down with a map and find a goal. Ask yourself, what do you want to get out of walking aside from 
the health benefits? Do you want to meet other people? See new places?     38  
If making friends and socializing is your goal, you may call up your friends and schedule walks 
with them, since this will introduce you to new places and trails. You might also find open groups of 
dog walkers at your local park. Your campground staff might know about fun local walking groups 
you can join.    39      In cities large and small all over the country, walks are going on almost every 
weekend in support of cancer research, diabetes research, and other humanitarian causes.
   40    Then  tie  on  your  walking  shoes  and  prepare  to  get  to  know  the  new  area  from  the 
ground up! Many of our great historic cities offer detailed and well-planned walking tours. Nearly 
any city you can think of offers a walking tour with maps, provided by the tourist administration.
A. Headed to a new city?
B. So why not focus on walking?
C. Either way, ifs time to walk with a purpose.
D. It’s kind to our bodies and great for our waistlines.
E. Get to know people by the power of your own two feet.
F. And be sure to stay on the lookout for walks to raise money.
G. Knowing these will help you decide on the type of walk you want.

After  getting  "paying-it-forward."  several  times,  I  always  wish  I  could  buy  a  coffee  for  a stranger too.
That particular morning, I     41    in my rearview mirror(后视镜)when I got to the drive-through

Many  athletes  have  been  told  that  smiling  while      61    (sweat)  will  make  our  efforts  feel 
easier.  A  marathon  runner  smiled  widely  through  the  final  miles  of  his  fastest-ever  marathon ; 
afterward, he said what he had hoped     62   (be) that the smiling would ease him to the finish line; 
But there has been lit- tle solid scientific evidence to support this idea. In recent years several past 
studies      63    (  examine)whether  deliberately  smiling  can  make  changes  to  how  people  feel 
psychologically  during  races,      64    few  have  looked  at  the  physical  effect    65    sports 
performance.
Researchers  decided      66    (gather)  a  group  of  experienced  recreational  runners  and  have 
them  alternatively  smile  broadly  as  they  ran.  Many  of  the  runners  found  it  difficult  to  smile 
throughout the whole session, though. Their smiles became      67    (increase) fixed and unnatural. 
Such false smiles make     68   (few) facial muscles (肌肉)start working than the sincere version and 
most likely result in less      69    (relax) and performance improvement. So the key to using a happy 
smile to make you      70    better runner may be to smile sincerely and often near a race's end, but in 
30-second bursts, rather than constantly.
