There were stories of heroes who glued bird feathers on their arms and flew up into the sk

11、y. About 500 years ago, some people dreamed a different dream. Instead of flying up to the sky, they dreamed of falling from the sky! In the 15th century, Italian inventors designed a cone-shaped (锥形) device that was supposed to bring a man down safely from a great height. The operator held on to a

12、handle with a strap strapped to his waist. This was the first known design for a parachute (降落伞). Even the great inventor Leonardo da Vinci sketched a type of parachute. His parachute design was in the shape of pyramid (金字塔). Other inventors also sketched their own designs for a parachute. Unfortuna

13、tely, these were only designs on paper and no one tested them. A Croatian inventor named Fausto Veranzio looked at Leonardo da Vinci“s parachute design and replaced the pyramid shape with one that looked like a sail from a ship. When Veranzio was 65 years old, he fell ill. Thinking he would not live

14、 longer, he decided to try out his parachute invention. He built his parachute using wood and cloth. Strapping his invention to his waist, he jumped off the tall bell tower in his city. He landed safely! He was supposedly the first man to successfully use a parachute. However, some other people thou

15、ght this story was not true. If that was the case, then the first person to successfully use a parachute would go to a Frenchman named Louis-Sebastien Lenormand in 1783.（分数：10.00）(1).The first known parachute was designed by _.（分数：2.00）A.FrenchmanB.ItalianC.CroatiansD.Englishmen(2).Leonardo da Vinci

16、“s parachute was shaped like a _.（分数：2.00）A.coneB.featherC.pyramidD.sail(3).Which of the following about Fausto Veranzio is true?（分数：2.00）A.He copied da Vinci“s parachute design.B.He made his parachute with feather and wood.C.He experimented with his parachute many times.D.He decided to try his para

17、chute after he was seriously ill.(4).As for the first man who successfully used a parachute, _.（分数：2.00）A.it was said to be Leonardo da VinciB.we know for sure he was VeranzioC.there were some historical recordsD.we don“t know for sure yet(5).The passage is mainly about _.（分数：2.00）A.the origin of th

18、e parachuteB.the dreams of flying and fallingC.the courage of dropping from the skyD.the application of parachute invention四、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Out of all the students: who enroll in a massive open online course (MOOC), only about 5 percent complete the course and receive a certificate accom

19、plishment This statistic is often cited as evidence that MOOCs are fatally flawed (缺陷的) and offer little educational value to most students. Yet more than 80 percent of students who fill out a post-course survey say they met their primary objective. How do we look at these two facts? We“re used to f

20、ocusing on completion rates in higher education, but they“re not the onlyor even the most meaningfulindicator of engagement in open online courses. With no cost to enroll, no punishment for dropping out, and little reward for actually earning a certificate, MOOCs are fundamentally different from tra

21、ditional classesand students use them in fundamentally different ways. Data from more than 1.8 million students enrolled in 36 MOOCs offered by the University of Pennsylvania show that students treat MOOCs as a buffet (自助餐), sampling the material according to their interests and career goals. Some a

22、re curious about the subject matter and just watch one or two video lectures; others use the discussion forums to connect with their intellectual peers around the world. Of all enrolled students, nearly 60 percent watch at least one video, complete at least one assignment, or post at least once in a

23、 forum. So focusing on the tiny fraction of students who complete a MOOC is misguided. The more important number is the 60 percent engagement rate. Students may not finish a MOOC with a certificate of accomplishment, but the courses nonetheless meet the educational goals of millions.（分数：10.00）(1).Wh

24、at do we learn about MOOCs from Para. 1?（分数：2.00）A.There seems to be conflicting statistics about MOOCs.B.It turns out that MOOCs have failed people“s expectations.C.Most students find it hard to judge the value of MOOCs.D.The educational value of MOOCs is well acknowledged.(2).In Para. 2, the autho

25、r stresses _.（分数：2.00）A.the primary objective of MOOC studentsB.the significance of completion rates in educationC.the strengths and weakness of open online coursesD.the differences between MOOCs and traditional classes(3).According to Para. 3, students choose MOOCs for the following reasons EXCEPT

26、_.（分数：2.00）A.earning a certificateB.improving job-related skillsC.meeting their interest in the SubjectsD.exchanging ideas with students worldwide(4).The sentence “students treat MOOCs as a buffet“ (Para. 3) _.（分数：2.00）A.emphasizes the core value of MOOCsB.demonstrates the daily operation of MOOCsC.

27、indicates students are free to choose MOOC resourcesD.explains what students learn from MOOC courses(5).What is the author“s attitude toward MOOCs?（分数：2.00）A.Critical.B.Supportive.C.Indifferent.D.Neutral.五、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Whether you are hiking (徒步) through the magnificent redwoods of N

28、orthern California, sleeping under the brilliant stars of the Texas sky or watching the sun rise across the rocky cliffs of Maine, expecting the outdoor world can be inspiring, thrilling, and deeply satisfying. And one of the best ways to enjoy the abundant gifts of the natural world is simple, inex

29、pensive, and available to almost everyone. Let“s go camping. When you camp, you create a “home away from home“ in the fresh air. You don“t need a lot of fancy equipment to enjoy camping. What you need is simply a tent large enough for your family. Practice setting up the tent at home to make sure yo

30、u are familiar with the process before you go camping. Once you find a good site, it“s time to set up the tent. Your first job is to set up your tent. Remove all sticks and rocks from the area. Spread a tarp (防水帆布) over the area where your tent will sit. Set up the tent and be sure to stake it down

31、firmly, even if the weather is mild. Otherwise, strong wind can blow your tent away. Next, you“ll need some firewood for a campfire. If gathering wood is illegal at your campground, you must buy it at the camp store. If gathering dead wood is permitted, go on a firewood-hunting journey and bring in

32、a good supply of wood for your campsite, pile the wood safely away from the campfire ring and where no one will trip over the wood or hurt his or her legs on sharp branches. Being a responsible camper requires that you follow the rules of the campground. Do not burn food or plastic in your campfire.

33、 Make sure that you leave your campsite in good condition for the next campers. Just before leaving the site, make a final check to be certain that your campfire is completely out. Pour water on the ashes just to be safe!（分数：10.00）(1).As is suggested by the author, you should practice setting up you

34、r tent _.（分数：2.00）A.before the weather turns badB.before your first camping upC.after having selected your campsiteD.once you have decided where to go(2).What is the first thing you should do after choosing a campsite?（分数：2.00）A.Gather firewood.B.Spread a tarp on the ground.C.Set up the tent.D.Remov

35、e sticks and rocks from the tent area.(3).You can gather firewood only _.（分数：2.00）A.after you are sure that it is permittedB.after you are certain that no one will get hurtC.if there is no camp store nearbyD.if firewood is out of stock in a camp store(4).The last thing you should do before leaving y

36、our campsite is _.（分数：2.00）A.burn all the trashB.clean the campsiteC.pour water on the ashesD.collect all the rubbish(5).The passage is mainly about _.（分数：2.00）A.safety measures a camper should takeB.problems you may face as a camperC.what you need to know about campingD.what you need to bring along

37、 for camping六、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Every country has secret services to help protect it against serious threats from terrorists, major criminals or even from other countries. People who threaten to harm a country always plot in secret, so the intelligence agencies have to work in secret to fi

38、nd out what is being planned before it happens, so that it can be prevented. They do that in many different waysby secretly listening to their targets talking on the phone, by planting microphones to overhear meetings, by watching the targets as they move from place to place and by recruiting some o

39、f the targets to act as double agents to report on what is going on. For most of my career I worked in one of the UK“s three intelligence services, MIS, the domestic security service. I first joined in the 1970s, in the middle of the Cold War, when the war was divided into two armed camps, the Sovie

40、t Union and its allies on the one side and Western Europe, America and their allies on the other. The Cold War never became a fighting war. It was an intelligence war, with intelligence officers from both sides trying to find out what the other side was doing, what kind of weapons they had, when and

41、 if they might start a war and what their plans were. Both sides were secretly working in each other“s countries. Nowadays one of the biggest threats to the world, comes from terrorists. Intelligence officers from many different countries are working together to find out who they are, where they are

42、 and what they are planning. Today“s MIS officers get their intelligence in much the same way as we did during the Cold War, but their task is even more difficult and urgent because most terrorists want to kill people. Many terrorist attacks that are planned and prepared never happen, and we never k

43、now anything about them because the intelligence services find them out and prevent them.（分数：10.00）(1).What is the first paragraph mainly about?（分数：2.00）A.The tasks of intelligence agencies.B.The contributions of intelligence agencies.C.The equipment used by intelligence agents.D.The recruitment of
