Leaving our hostel in the centre of Phnom Penh, we climb inside our small Tuk Tuk cabin attached to the back of Kiwi's motorbike; a bottle of water in one hand and a surgeon-style mask in the other we set off on our 45-minute commute. It is a familiar start to the day for me and two other volunteers. We are setting out to work in an orphanage just outside Cambodia's capital city.
The morning rush hour in Phnom Penh is crowded and chaotic. Kiwi directs our path between the trucks, 4×4 Lexus' and countless motorbikes, which often carry entire families. We reach the dusty highway, masks and sunshades firmly in place to protect our eyes and lungs. A mixture of concrete buildings and huts exist along the side of the road among a sea of rubbish. The residents often smile and wave as we pass by.
We turn onto a farm track. The last part of our journey is a roller coaster, jumping out of potholes(路面坑洼) and turning to avoid falling off the sinking road. We pass huts on stilts(木桩), skinny cows and farm yards where children jump and scream upon seeing us. The stream along the side of the road is almost bone dry and vegetation is rare across the fields.
Finally we arrive at our destination: the oasis(令人快慰的地方) is Samrong Farm. By the gates, a group of 10-year-old children compete in the area of marbles. We're greeted by the shouts of "Cha, cha(short for 'teacher')!" from several other kids gathering round. As we climb out of our vehicle, the sun is already hot and the oasis is as dry as the fields surrounding it. In such conditions you would imagine life to be hard, but you wouldn't know it to see the warm smiles and hear the laughter of the residents at Samrong Orphanage.
Compared to children in the Western World they have little and yet they give so much in generosity of spirit and enthusiasm for every day. Despite the journey, it is so good to arrive at work in the morning.
24. Where was the author going?
A. To Samrong Orphanage. B. To the oasis of Samrong.
C. To the capital of Cambodia. D. To the centre of Phnom Penh.
25. What word can be used to describe Kiwi?
A. Disciplined. B. Confident. C. Devoted. D. Ambitious.
26. What did they see along the farm track?
A. Dry bones. B. Shy children. C. Almost bare fields. D. A roller coaster beside it.
27. What can we learn from the story?
A. Enthusiasm of the children. B. Comfort of riding a motorbike.
C. Beauty of working in the morning. D. Pleasure of being in a different culture.
C
There seems to be a lot of talk these days about what is fair, and what is not. Most people tend to believe life should be fair. Some of the 99% seem to believe life has somehow treated them unfairly, and some of the 1% feel life hasn't treated them fairly enough. My questions are these: What is fairness? Is life fair? Should life be fair?
We clearly have no choice about how we come into this world. We have little choice early in life. But as we grow older, choices abound. I have long believed that while we have no control over the beginning of our life, the majority of us have the ability to influence the outcomes we attain. Fairness is a state of mind, and most often, an unhealthy state of mind. Our state in life cannot, or at least should not, be blamed on our parents, our teachers, or our society--it's largely based on the choices we make, and the attitudes we adopt.
Life is full of examples of the uneducated, the mentally and physically challenged people born into war-torn areas, who could have complained about life being unfair, but who instead chose a different path. Regardless of the challenges they faced, they had the character to choose contribution over complaint.
I agree that challenges exist. I agree that many have an uphill battle due to the severity of the challenges they face. What I disagree with is the attempt to use fairness to solve all problems in the world. Rules and orders don't create fairness, but people's desire and determination can work around most life challenges.
It doesn't matter whether you are born with a silver spoon, plastic spoon, or no spoon at all. A friend of mine came to this country from Africa in his late teens, barely spoke the language, drove a cab while working his way through college, and is now the president of a technology services firm. Stories such as this are all around us--they are not miracles, nor are they the rare exception. They do, however, demonstrate blindness to the mindset of the fairness.
28. What does the underlined word "abound" in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Change fully. B. Remain the same. C. Exist in numbers. D. Disappear completely.
29. What opinion does the writer agree with?
A. Most of us can influence the results we achieve.
B. Our background determines our choices.
C. People's desire and determination create unfairness.
D. We should depend on fairness to solve all problems.
30. What is the primary purpose of the text?
A. To promote efforts over complaint. B. To stress the importance of fairness.
C. To share an inspiring story of a friend. D. To prove that fairness is a state of mind.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Fairness Is Justice B. Life Is Not Fair--Deal With It
C. Fairness Comes First D. Fairness Creates Chances
D
You've stopped at a cafe on your way to work, and next thing you know, your latte foam is staring at you. You've had the same furniture for years, but today your cupboard looks sad. You're lying in the park with your friends, and now Jesus is floating by in the clouds--are they seeing him too?!
Why do we see human faces everywhere?
Until now, it has been unclear as to why the brain processes visual signals and represents them in our mind as human faces. However, researchers from the School of Psychology at the University of Sydney have tried evaluating this phenomenon.
The facial recognition response happens fast, only taking a few hundred milliseconds. From an evolutionary perspective, the researchers suggest that the benefit of "never missing a face" outweighs(超过) the error where lifeless objects are seen as faces. Despite knowing that the object you are seeing is not a human face, the perception(知觉) of a face stays. This is known as "face pareidolia".
Pareidolia refers to the tendency to impose a meaningful interpretation on an unclear stimulus(刺激物), making one see an object, pattern or meaning when there is none. Pareidolia was originally considered a symptom of mental disorder, but it is now viewed as a normal human tendency.
Pareidolia has been investigated by scientists and has been present in art and literature for a long period of time. In Shakespeare's Hamlet, Hamlet demonstrates his supposed madness in his exchange with Polonius by telling him that he can see a camel in the sky.
The researchers set out to investigate whether a detected pareidolia face would be cast off as a false detection or be analysed for a facial expression. The study participants were presented series of faces and asked to rate each face expression on a scale from angry to happy. The series involved a mix of both real and pareidolia faces.
The researchers have found that pareidolia faces are not cast off as false detections, but rather undergo an internal "facial expression analysis", in the same way a real face would. This is likely because humans are deeply social beings. Additionally, they found that biases(成见) often seen when judging human faces in the analysis of the pareidolia faces.
So, the next time that you see an angry tree, don't be surprised and remember it's not personal.
32. What is the function of the first paragraph?
A. To present a finding. B. To warn the readers.
C. To introduce the topic. D. To arouse the readers' awareness.
33. How do the researchers, from an evolutionary perspective, understand the facial recognition response?
A. Our brain is good at processing signals.
B. The image of a human face will last long.
C. Our brain wrongly interprets signals as human faces.
D. There might be risks when lifeless objects are not seen as faces.
34. What happens in a pareidolia?
A. People suffer mental disorder. B. People see an unclear stimulus.
C. People imagine seeing a human face. D. People interpret things meaningfully.
35. What can be inferred about participants seeing real human faces in the research?
A. They discount the facial expressions. B. They prefer real faces to false ones.
C. They tend to make biased judgment. D. They compare real faces to pareidolia ones.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
There have been several incidents in recent years where people died because of unsafe crowd conditions and stampedes(人群的蜂拥)，the latest one unfolding in Seoul, South Korea, with at least 155 deaths reported. This may leave some people thinking there's little you can do to survive a stampede. 36 But crowd-safety experts say there are several strategies that could help you avoid a potentially deadly outcome. Consider these steps below:
The key to staying safe in a crowd begins as soon as you arrive at the location, says Randy Atlas, a safety consultant based in Fort Lauderdale. 37 It's a piece of common sense advice that Atlas applies not just at big events, but even when entering almost any room.
If there's a sudden panic and crowds begin to push in a certain direction, your instinct(本能) may be to fight back and push the opposite way. 38 If you go against the flow, you increase your chances of getting tripped and knocked down. Another risk, according to experts: If you fight the crowd, you will tire yourself out quickly in a situation where energy is needed.
As you move forward with the crowd, it's best to move in a diagonal(对角线的) direction so you can potentially angle your way out of the situation. The goal is to get to the edge of the stampede where it's less likely that you'll end up stuck at a choke-point, like a doorway.
39 Look for a solid structure to stand behind such as a pillar or a wall. Other places to duck: behind a car or even a lamp post.
In many stampede events, people die simply because they are crushed to the point they can't breathe. But a possible way to avoid this is to place your arms in front of you, almost in a boxer- like position. That could give you some very valuable breathing room--literally. 40
A. Another potential way is to shelter yourself.
B. But that could be a big mistake, Atlas warns.
C. In this case, you don't necessarily have to wait and let time slip by.
D. Namely, he advises people to take note of where the nearest exits are.
E. It's a simple pose, but surprisingly effective and possibly life-saving.
F. Other events, such as a Halloween gathering, are likely to turn deadly.
G. Indeed, it's a frightening situation and circumstances may make it impossible to escape.

I was a vet in Yorkshire. One day I received a call from Mrs Tompkin asking me to cut the beak(喙)of her budgie's(虎皮鹦鹉).I armed myself with a pair of clippers and stepped onto the narrow strip of pavement which separated the door from the road. A pleasant looking red-haired woman answered my knock.
“I'm Mrs Dodds from next door," she said. “I keep an eye on the old lady. She's over eighty and lives alone. ”
She led me into the cramped little room. "Here's Mr Herriot coming to sec Peter for you," she said to the old woman who sat in a corner. Mrs Tornpkin nodded and smiled, "Oh that's good. Poor little fella can hardly eat with its long beak and I'm worried about him. He's my only companion, you know. "
“Yes, I understand, Mrs Tompkin. ”I looked at the cage by the window with the green budgie perched(栖息)inside. "These little birds can be wonderful company when they start chattering.”
She laughed. "Yes, but it's a funny thing. Peter never has said that much. I think he's lazy! But I just like having him with me.”
“Of course you do," I said, "but he certainly needs attention now.”
The beak was greatly overgrown, curving away down till it touched the feathers of the breast. I would be able to revolutionize his life with one quick snip from my clippers. The way I was feeling this job was right up my street.
I opened the cage door and slowly inserted my hand.
"Come on, Peter," I wheedled(哄骗). As l lifted him out, I felt in my pocket with the other hand for the clippers, Then T stopped.
The tiny head was no longer poking cheekily from my fingers but had fallen loosely to one side. The eyes were closed. He was dead.
Mrs Dodds and I looked at each other in horror. When I turned my head towards Mrs Tompkin, I was surprised to see that she was still nodding and smiling.
I drew her neighbor to one side. "Mrs Dodds, how much does she see?"
"Oh, she's very short-sighted but she's right vain despite her age. Never would she wear glasses. She's hard of hearing, too. "
"Well, look," I said. My heart was still pounding. "I just don't know what to do. If I tell her about this, the shock will be terrible. Anything could happen. "
Mrs Dodds nodded, stricken-faced. "Yes, you're right. She's that attached to the little thing. "

高三英语怎么学才能提高成绩
1、首先要做的是从语音着手!单词都不会读,考个什么啊英语包含听说读写，这个之中的基础就是单词。当单词积累一定程度，你会发觉什么阅读，听说将只是多多运用就行，心理上就不排斥英语了!
2、再者，就是语法，想快速提高英语成绩，首先可以掌握一些基本的语法，多多了解句子的成分，之后你会发现什么阅读将会是种享受，因为你能轻易看懂了!
3、然后就是培养语感,最好的方法的就是阅读!我们需要增加阅读量，阅读本身就是考试的重点。书本是编辑者精挑细选出来的好文章，首先要把书本上的文章掌握了，还可以看一些时报周刊上的文章，从实事，经济，政治，军事，科学均有涉及。其实很多考试的文章就是来源于此。
提高英语成绩的方法
一、词汇量的积累是学好英语的根本。二、要敢于将所学的英语用嘴巴表达出来。三、不要盲目刷题，要有侧重点去攻克学习难关。四、多读课文或英语原版书籍、报纸等，多多培养语感。五、每天坚持练半个小时的听力。
高三英语基础差怎么办
一、回归课本，重抓基础
英语基础知识的复习要以课本为基础，对课文中反复出现的语言知识，进行科学归类和巧妙整理，找出其中的规律、抓住线索。告诉你英语复习是为了运用知识，而网络化的知识则是更便于运用，这也更利于学科能力的培养。只有经过对所学的教材知识进行层层挖掘，才能有希望把知识形成网络。这有利于英语实际运用能力的提高，并且在应考中运用自如。
二、加强阅读，提高能力
在高三英语复习的过程中，如果仅仅靠死记硬背，强化训练，沉浸在“题海战术”中是很难出好成绩的。高三学生要根据自己的实际情况，制定出切实可行的英语复习计划。其中，语篇学习最应该引起学生的足够重视。高三课本的题材广、内容新颖、知识覆盖面宽。因此，学生应该充分利用高三课本中的阅读材料，从文章的内容、文章的结构、作者的观点、态度及相关的背景知识巧妙设置问题。不断提高自己的英语阅读能力，开拓知识视野。同时，文章内容如果新颖还能提高学生对英语的学习兴趣。
三、精选习题，高效训练
高三学生英语基础差，想要提高应该结合高考考点具有针对性的加强联系。高三复习的时间特别紧凑，在很短的时间内复习完所有的语言知识，提高复习效率，以便有充裕的时间进行听力、完形填空、阅读等专项能力训练和模拟训练，避免在复习课本知识和培养能力之间顾此失彼。在此基础上，通过科学系统的训练，提高英语的交际能力，从而收到事半功倍的效果。
