The artwork was drawn by an unnamed German soldier during the war on the Western Front.The artwork was given to Private Jack Shelley, a British soldier, when he was defending the town of Frelinghien, France. The sketch is an important historical document, as it provides
21、 evidence that the tales of enemy soldiers socializing together are true. But for Private Shelleys descendants(后代) it has even greater value, since it was his prized possession. Jessie Shelley, Jacks great-granddaughter, has fond memories of the old man sharing stories about his experiences in the w
22、ar when he came to live permanently in Australia in 1930. the family lost track of the artwork after Jacks possessions were moved during the sale of his house when he died in 1984.Great-grandpa had a tobacco tin with a dozen or so buttons from the uniforms of men from both sides.

24、914, the soldiers came out of their trenches(战壕) into no-mans-land and shared food, drinks and cigarettes. Some even exchanged small gifts. The men even played football games together. Later, this spirit of cooperation continued in unofficial agreements between the sides to stop shooting at mealtime

29、 sides.- 7 -COur most important institutions, our schools and our workplaces, are designed mostly for extroverts (性格外向者).In the typical classroom, students are often divided into groups-four or five or more kids all facing each other. And kids are working on countless group assignments. Even in subj
30、ects like math and creative writing, which you think would depend on unaccompanied flights of thought, kids are now expected to act as committee members. As for the kids who prefer to go off by themselves or just to work alone, those kids are seen as outliers (局外人) often or, worse, as problem cases.
31、 And the vast majority of teachers believe that the ideal student is an extrovert as opposed to an introvert (性格内向者), even though introverts actually get better grades and are more knowledgeable, according to research.The same thing is true in our workplaces. Now, most of us work in open plan office
32、s, without walls, where we are subject to the constant noise and stare of our coworkers. And when it comes to leadership, introverts are routinely passed over for leadership positions, even though introverts tend to be very careful, much less likely to take outsize risks -which is something we might
33、 all favor nowadays. And interesting research by Adam Grant at the Wharton School has found that introverted leaders often deliver better outcomes than extroverts do, because when they are managing thoughtful employees, theyre much more likely to let those employees run with their ideas.In fact, som
34、e of our great leaders in history have been introverts. Ill give you some examples. Eleanor Roosevelt, Rosa parks, Gandni - all these people described themselves as quiet and soft-spoken and even shy. However, they all took the spotlight, even though every bone in their bodies was telling them not t
35、o. And this turns out to have a special power, because people could feel that these leaders were in control, not because they enjoyed directing others and not out of the pleasure of being looked at; they were there because they had no choice, because they were driven to do what they thought was righ
36、t.28. What is the authors attitude to frequent group study in class? A. Critical. B. Curious C. Careless D. Approving29. What do we know about introverted leaders?A. They like taking risks. B. They are open-minded.C. They are often creative D. They are very enthusiastic.- 8 -30. What does the underl

Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. How to be extroverts B. Why introverts sufferC. T
38、he power of introverts D. The characteristic of extroverts.DWhats fiercer than a lion? The honey badger (蜜獾), one of the toughest mammals in Africa and western Asia. Honey badgers stand less than a foot high. They are only a couple feet long. They weigh just over 20 pounds. Yet they have a reputatio
39、n for toughness that is far greater than their size.So what makes the honey badger so tough? They have speed, but so do many animals. They arent stronger than lions, so how do they stop them? The thing that sets the honey badge apart is their skin. Their skin is thick and tough. Arrows, spears, and
40、bites from other animals can rarely go through it. Not only is their skin thick and tough, it is also loose. This allows them to twist and turn to fight back while another animal is attacking them.Honey badgers have long, sharp claws. These claws are good for attacking and even better for digging. H
41、oney badgers are some of natures most skilled diggers. They can dig a nine-foot tunnel into hard ground in about 10 minutes. They love to catch a meal by digging up the holes of frogs and snakes. They also use their digging skills to create their homes. They live in small holes in the ground and def
42、end them fiercely.You dont get a reputation like the honey badger by running from danger. The honey badger is a fearless and tireless fighter. They will attack any creature that threatens them, man included. Because of the honey badgers reputation, most predators (食肉动物) avoid them. Some animals use
43、the honey badgers reputation to their advantage. Adult cheetahs (猎豹) have spotted coats, but their kittens have silver manes (鬃毛) and look like honey badgers. Some scientists believe that their coloring tricks predators into avoiding them.- 9 -You might be wondering: “If honey badgers are so tough,
44、how did they get a name that makes them sound like a piece of candy?” The answer makes sense. Since honey badgers have such thick skin, bees rarely harm them. So honey badgers love to attack beehives(蜂窝). Honey badgers run after honey so aggressively that beekeepers in Africa have to use electric fe
45、ncing to hold them back. Theres nothing sweet about that.32. What contributes to honey badgers toughness?A. Their skin B. Their speed C. Their weight D. Their strength33.

What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. Silver manes B. Honey badgers C. Adult cheetahs D. Young cheetahs35. According to the
47、text, honey badgers got their name _.A. From their taste for honey. B. Because they are fond of candy.C. From the sweet taste of their meat. D. Because they look sweet and charming.第二节：七选五Volunteering abroad is a mind-opening experience that exposes one to other cultures, languages and ways of life.
