So far, 96 countries, 37 just over two-thirds of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions, have formally joined the agreement, which 38 to limit global warming this century to 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) above what it was before machines and 39 appeared in the late 1700s. The United States 40 entered into the agreement in September, and more countries are expected to come 41 in the coming weeks and months.

United Nations Secretary General Ban-Ki Moon celebrated the event, talking with nongovernmental groups at U.N. headquarters in New York to hear their concerns and 42 for the future.

“This is an emotional moment for me. It is a credit to all of you. And it is 43 for the world,” Ban said in his opening remarks.

He praised the 44 for getting hundreds of millions of people to back fighting climate change but 45 the outcome remained uncertain.

“We are still in a race 46 time. We need to move on to a low-emission and climate-sustainable future,” Ban added.

Scientists praised the speed at which the agreement, 47 by 192 parties last December in Paris, has come into 48 , saying it shows a new commitment by the international community to 49 a problem that is melting polar ice caps, sending sea levels 50 and transforming vast areas into desert.

“51 the real effect of the agreement after it goes into effect is still uncertain, it is a simple sign that the international society is much more open to 52 economic and political behavior to control climate change, which is 53 positive,” said Feng Qi, executive director of the School of Environmental and Sustainability Sciences at Kean University in New Jersey.

Scientists and 54 say the agree ment is the first step of a much longer and complicated process of reducing the use of fossil fuels, which currently 55 the majority of the planet’s e nergy needs and also are the primary drivers of global warming.

African Safari

Essential information you need to know before booking your African Safari in Southern Africa –These tips will enhance the experience that you have.

Things to Consider Before Booking an African Safari

1)Book in Advance

African Safaris are now hugely popular and good safari camps often get booked out more than a year in advance, especially during the high season from July through to October.

2)Choosing which game park

Different parks have different topography and weather patterns – this greatly affects animal movements at different times of the year. If you want to target certain species of animals, then some parks are better than others for certain species.

3）Choosing which lodge or safari camp

A typical safari camp has between 10 and 20 beds, it is an intimate safari experience and very personalized. However, there are also hotels in some places, either inside or just outside a national park, which can sleep anything up to 300 people.

4）Guiding

The quality, experience and knowledge of the game at any Safari camp is almost the most important factor to consider. Good guides can transform your experience from ordinary to exceptional.

5）What’s the Best Time of Year to go on Safari

Understandably as the seasons change so does the safari experience. It is highly advisable to find out the best time of year for the safari area that you are intending to visit. Prices will change dramatically between the high and the low season, so good deals are to be had in the low season but it is important to know the difference, as your experience will be vastly different.

6）The Price

Going on safari is not cheap whichever way you do it, but the price range can be enormous. Unfortunately, safaris in most cases are a case of “you pay for what you get”.

7）Fly-in safari or not

Using small charter planes is sometimes an absolute necessity for camps in remote areas, where road transfers are just not practical or viable. The se flights can increase the overall cost of the safari substantially but generally they are worth it and allow you the flexibility to visit a variety of safari camps in

different locations.

8）Use an Agent

As you can see from all the information and options detailed above, there is great deal to understand and unless you go on safari several times a year it is impossible to know all this stuff.

Since quitting can start feelings such as guilt and shame, we often do everything possible to avoid it. “We’re taught from our earliest days that if you quit something, it means you’re a failure,” says counseling psychologist Will Meek. He, however, suggests we view quitting differently.

Quitting is like deciding to rearrange a room: you’ve grown comfortable with the status, and it can be hard to picture the end result o r even see why change is necessary. And yet, there’s the upsetting feeling that you’re no longer entirely satisfied with your current circumstances, perhaps even that you’ve stopped making progress. While it’s not out of the question for feeling or regret to surface after a major refit, leaving a position, project or situation can reveal exciting possibilities, making you feel inspired and renewed.

Quitting, often happens in situations where we’re unhappy, fearful or have determined we have no other choice, factors that can have opposing effects on our health. Perhaps you find your work unfulfilling, or you’ve jumped into a new relationship before you’re ready —and, as a result, you’re operating under intense pressure. “If stress is enduring and not managed well, it can start to take a toll.” says Meek. According to the American Psychological Association, long-term, ongoing stress can increase the risk for high blood pressure and heart attack, so walking away from whatever is causing it can deliver significant physical and emotional health benefits. “We often see a reduction in the stress hormone cortisol（应激激素皮质醇）, which can lower blood pressure and may even decrease the heart rate,” says Dr Alex Lickerman, a GP and expert on developing mental adaptability.

Leaving situations that fail to bring you joy can leave you with sufficient time to explore where your hear t is truly leading you. In a study that was published in 1999, then Harvard University professor Hermina Ibarra looked at how bankers tried different roles that required new skill sets—someone who spent a lot of time dealing with computers, for instance, was asked to take on personal interactions. Subjects were especially drawn to acting out a version of their future solves through ‘imitation strat egies’—an approach they compared to ‘trying on different clothes,’ Mark Franklin, the president of CareerCyles, suggests a similar approach as a way to figure out what your true desires might be in your post-quitting life and foresee your future self. “Pre tend to be a certain kind of person, or go and meet others

who are doing what you want to do.” he says, “Try it on, see how it feels and decide if it’s a good fit for you.”It may not feel like it at the time, but just moving on from a situation that’s not quite right can help you get back on track.

58. It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that quitting may bring us feelings of being both ____.

A. troubled and hopeful

B. stupid and enthusiastic

C. guilty and ashamed

D. inspired and determined

59. The underlined phrase “take a toll” (Paragraph 3) can be best replaced by“_____”.

A. develop mental adaptability

B. bring about changes

C. have a bad effect

D. keep up the pressure

60. It can be concluded from the passage that ______.

A. quitting is a track that only the timid will choose to follow

B. knowing when to stop is wise and may make dreams happen

C. mental adaptability can be improved by the stress hormone cortisol

D. personal interaction can be a must for reducing emotional pressure

C

A common sight in malls, in pizza parlors, in Starbucks, and wherever else American teens hang out: three or four kids, hooded, gathered around a table, leaning over like monks or druids, their eyes fastened to the smartphones held in front of them. Looking at them, you can envy their happiness. You can also find yourself wishing them immersed in a different kind of happiness—in a superb book or a series of books, in the reading obsession itself! You should probably keep on wishing.

It’s v ery likely that teenagers, attached to screens of one sort or another, read more words than they ever have in the past. But they often read scraps, excerpts, articles, parts of articles, messages, pieces of i nformation from everywhere and from nowhere. It’s likely that they are reading fewer books. Yes, millions of kids have read Harry Potter, “The Lord of the Rings,” “The Hunger Games,” and other fantasy and dystopian fictions; also vampire romance, graphic novels (some very good), and young-adult novels. Yet what happens as they move toward adolescence? When they become twelve or thirteen, kids often stop reading seriously. The boys veer off into sports or computer games, the girls into friendship in all its wrenching mysteries and satisfactions of favor and exclusion. Much of their social life, for boys as well as girls, is now conducted on smartphones, where teen-agers don’t have to confront one another. The terror of eye contact!

If kids are avoiding eye contact, they are avoiding books even more. Work by the Pew Research Center and other outfits have confirmed that few late teen-agers are reading many books. A recent summary of studies cited by C ommon Sense Media indicates that American teen-agers are les s likely to read “for fun” at seventeen than at thirteen. The category of reading “for fun” is itself a little depressing, since it divides reading into duty (for school) and gratification (sitting on a beach towel), as if the two were necessarily opposed. My own observation, after spending a lot of time talking to teen-agers in recent years: reading anything serious has become a chore, like doing the laundry or prepping a meal for a kid brother. Or, if it’s not a chore, it’s just an activity, like swimming or shopping, an activity like any other. It’s not something that runs through the rest of their lives. In sum, reading has lost its privileged status. Often, they look at you blankly when you ask them what they are reading on their own.

Of course, these kids are very busy. School, homework, sports, jobs, clothes, parents, brothers, sisters,

half brothers, half sisters, friendships, love affairs, hanging out, music, and, most of all, screens—compared with all of that, reading a book is a weak, petulant claimant on their time. Reading frustrates their smartphone sense of being everywhere at once. Being unconnected makes them anxious and even angry. “Books smell like old people,” I heard a student say in New Haven.

I know that reading literature, history, science, and the rest of the liberal-arts canon helps produce three-dimensional human beings. But how is a taste for such reading created in the first place? Infants held in their parents’ arms, told stories, and read to will not remember the images or the wo rds, but they will likely remember the warmth and comfort associated with books and conversation, especially when the experience is repeated hundreds of times. The luckiest of the children fall out of parents’ arms into preschool. In the good ones, books are read aloud, valued, expounded, held up for kids to enjoy. The rest of American children arrive at school in kindergarten and are then, for thirteen years, either nurtured or betrayed by teachers.

61. Why does the author mention Harry Potter in the second paragraph?

A. To prove that Harry Potter series are popular among teenagers.

B. To show smartphones are more attractive to teenagers.

C. To show that teenagers don’t read seriously.

D. To prove that sports, computer games and friendship are more valuable.

62. In what way does serious reading resemble a chore to teenagers?

A. Serious reading is no longer teenagers’ life-long hobby.

B. Reading books will teach teenagers to be polite.

C. Reading can be divided into duty and gratification.

D. Swimming and shopping are similar activities.

63. According to the author, teachers should encourage students to read seriously by _______.

A. assigning students less homework

B. associating books with warmth and comfort

C. taking reading as a privileged status

D. developing their love for reading

64. The best title for this passage is ________

A. Books smell like old people.

B. Do teens read seriously any more?

C. Smartphones VS serious reading.

D. Educating 3 dimensional human beings.

D

She had consented to go away, to leave her home. Was that wise？She tried to weigh each side of the question. In her home anyway she had shelter and food；she had those whom she had known all her life about her. Of course she had to work hard, both in the house and at the stores.

But in her new home, in a distant unknown country, it would not be like that. Then she would be married — she, Eveline. People would treat her with respect then. She would not be treated as her mother had been. Even now, though she was over nineteen, she sometimes felt herself in danger of her father's violence. She knew it was that that had given her the palpitations. When they were growing up he had never gone for her like he used to go for Harry and Ernest, because she was a girl and latterly he had begun to threaten her and say what he would do to her only for her dead mother's sake. And now she had nobody to protect her. Ernest was dead and Harry, who was in the church decorating business, was nearly always down somewhere in the country. She always gave her entire wages and Harry always sent up what he could but the trouble was to get any money from her father.

She was about to explore another life with Frank. Frank was very kind, manly, open-hearted. She was to go away with him by the night-boat to be his wife and to live with him in Buenos Ayres where he had a home waiting for her. How well she remembered the first time she had seen him；He used to meet her outside the Stores every evening and see her home. People knew that they were courting. Of course, her father had found out the affair and had forbidden her to have anything to say to him.

The white of two letters in her lap grew indistinct. One was to Harry；the other was to her father. Ernest had been her favourite but she liked Harry too. Her father was becoming old lately, she noticed；he would miss her. Sometimes he could be very nice. Not long before, when she had been laid up for a day, he had read her out a ghost story and made toast for her at the fire. Another day, when their mother was alive, they had all gone for a picnic to the Hill of Howth. She remembered her father putting on her mothers bonnet to make the children laugh.

Her time was running out but she continued to sit by the window. Down far in the avenue she could hear a street organ playing. She knew the air. Strange that it should come that very night to remind her of the promise to her mother, her promise to keep the home together as long as she could.

As she mused (沉思), the pitiful vision of her mother’s life laid its spell on the bottom of her heart. She stood up in a sudden impulse of terror. Escape! She must escape! Frank would save her. He would give her life, perhaps love, too.

She stood among the swaying crowd in the station at the North Wall. He held her hand and she knew that he was speaking to her, saying something about the passage over and over again. She answered noth ing. She felt her cheek pale and cold and, out of a maze of distress, she prayed to God to direct her, to show her what was her duty. The boat blew a long mournful whistle into the mist. If she went, tomorrow she would be on the sea with Frank, steaming towards Buenos Ayres. Their passage had been booked. Could she still draw back after all he had done for her？Her distress awoke a nausea in her body and she kept moving her lips in silent fervent prayer.

A bell clanged upon her heart. She felt him seize her hand：

“Come! Come!”

No! No! No! It was impossible. Her hands clutched the iron in frenzy. Amid the seas she sent a cry of anguish.

“Eveline! Evvy!”

He rushed beyond the barrier and called to her to follow. He was shouted at to go on but he still called to her. She set her white face to him, passive, like a helpless animal. Her eyes gave him no sign of love or farewell or recognition.

65. Which of the following is true of Eveline’s life?

A. She fell in love with Frank.

B. Her life was wholly undesirable.

C. She was respected by the local people.

D. She enjoyed a equal status in the family.

66. Which words can best describe the characters of Eveline’s f ather?

A. Stubborn, tricky and coldblooded.

B. Violent, mean, and prejudiced.

C. Shameless, cruel and unsympathetic.

D. Strict, greedy and narrow-minded.

67. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3 and 4?

A. Eveline and her father’s relationship was not always bad.

B. Eveline was still mourning her mother’s and brother’s death.

C. Eveline and Frank’s love got support from her brother Henry.

D. Eveline had made up her mind to explore another life with Frank.

68. The underlined word “air” is closest in meaning to _________.

A. atmosphere

B. breeze

C. impression

D. tune

69. Which of the following does NOT contribute to Eveline’s stay?

A. She at least possessed shelter and food in her home.

B. She had promised her mot her to keep the home together.

C. She wondered whether Frank would bring real happiness.

D. She had those whom she had known all h er life around her.

70. Her pray to God revealed ____________.

A. her uncertainty of her leaving

B. her expectation of a happy life

C. her anxiety about their safety

D. her eagerness to leave with Frank

第四部分任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)

注意：每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。

As we head from spring into summer, many college students are planning their vacations while those looking to get their first taste of the working world are likely hunting for internships（实习）.

It is estimated that U.S. companies hire about 1.5 million interns each year, half of them on an unpaid basis. Working for free might not be a big deal for some who are just grateful to have their foot in the door, but a class-action lawsuit（诉讼）led by interns who worked on the set of the 2010 film, Black Swan, could change that way of thinking and have far-reaching implications. The plaintiffs(原告) want back pay for their work and seek to prevent the film’s producer, Fox Searchlight, from using unpaid interns in the future.

However the lawsuit goes, it could say a lot about how companies should value the work of interns and whether interns have a right to a paycheck like employees. It’s perfectly reasonable for interns to be paid. Salaries for living expenses are only fair, especially for young people from low-income households, who may not otherwise be able to afford an unpaid internship. Paying interns also helps employers draw better talent, such as at Google (GOOG), which actively recruits interns and pays them handsomely for working on substantive projects.

Nevertheless, it would be wrong to elevate the fight over intern pay to the level of seriousness accorded to the ongoing debate over raising the federal minimum wage. For the most part, internships are training wheels, and the rules applied to them s houldn’t be the same as a regular job. The decision to pay interns should really be at the discretion of employers — not a matter of law.

This is simply because there are many benefits to internships, regardless of whether it’s paid or not; and at times, interns get a lot more out of the internship than the companies they intern for. The biggest benefit is pure work experience. Interns often gain valuable insight into industries and careers that they’re looking to pursue in the future.

Internships also tea ch work ethic, which young people don’t necessarily pick up in school. Lessons such as humility, the acceptance that no task is beneath one’s dignity, and recognition of the chain of command, are all important to learn before a young person is ready to enter a competitiv e workforce.
