again. The World Animal Protection（WAP）says that up to 550,000 wild animals are exposed（暴露）to ill
treatment around the world; in Cambodia, for example, it’s been reported that elephants have died after carrying

B
If you're ever apart from your children， a new study says just talking on the phone will help justas much as a hug (拥抱).
If you're a parent who spends long hours on the job， you probably feel sorry for spending so
much time away from your kids. But the results of a new study show that a mother's voice alone
can be just as comforting to an anxious child as physical contact (接触).
In an experiment， researchers from the University of Wisconsin Madison asked a group of girls
between the ages of 7 and 12 to solve math problems in front of judges — a stressful situation
for anyone. Before the girls were set to give their answers， the researchers measured their
levels of two hormones(荷尔蒙)：cortisol，which goes up during stressful periods， and
oxytocin， the “love” hormone， which goes down at the same time.
After the girls finished the problems， some of them got to meet up with their mothers right
away. The moms came in and hugged the girls. Another group of the girls didn't see their
mothers， but received phone calls from them， in which their mothers told them how well
they'd done. The final group had no contact with their mothers， but instead watched an animal
movie， March of the Penguins.
Finally， the girls' hormone levels were measured again. Although the movie was interesting，
it did nothing to reduce the children's anxiety—but， surprisingly， both the physical contact
and phone calls from their mothers had the same effect on reducing the girls' stress levels.
So， no matter how old you are， if you're feeling stressed about something in your life， a
phone call to Mom might be just the key to help you feel better.
29. If a girl is under stress， _______.
A. she can’t solve math problems
B. she will have high levels of hormone
C. oxytocin will remain at a high level
D. cortisol will go up with oxytocin down
30. Which of the following is the right order in which the study was carried out?
a. The girls' levels of hormones were measured again.
b. The girls solved math problems.
c. The girls' levels of hormones were measured.
d. The girls were divided into three groups.
A. b-c-d-a B. d-b-c-a C. c-b-d-a D. d-c-b-a
31. From the passage， we can infer that _______.
A. it is easy for girls to solve math problemsB. the girls who had watched the movie remained anxious
C. mothers should hug their kids as often as possible
D. older girls have higher cortisol than younger ones
32. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. A mother’s voice can comfort her anxious kids.
B. Mothers should often hug their kids.
C. Mothers should spend enough time caring about their kids.
D. Scientists discovered why kids become stressed when having tests.
【答案】29. D 30. C 31. B 32. A
【解析】
【分析】研究表明：妈妈的声音会像拥抱一样安慰孩子的心灵，减少他们忧虑的情绪。所以，无论你多大
年纪，如果你在生活中感到有些压力，打电话给妈妈也许能帮助你感觉更好些，减少你的压力。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据短文中 的句子“cortisol，which goes up during stressful periods， and oxytocin， the “love”
hormone， which goes down at the same time.”可知，皮质醇激素升高表明压力增加，而“爱”的激素
“oxytocin”相应下降，故答案为D。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三，四，五段的内容可知，研究的顺序是先测荷尔蒙，再做题，再分组（见妈妈，接
电话，看电影），最后再测荷尔蒙。故答案为C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中的句子“Although the movie was interesting， it did nothing to reduce the children's
anxiety—but， surprisingly，”可知，看电影并没有减少孩子们的焦虑情绪。故答案为B。
【32题详解】
主旨大意题。根据短文最后一段“no matter how old you are， if you're feeling stressed about something in your
life， a phone call to Mom might be just the key to help you feel better.可知，作者认同实验结论，妈妈的声音
会像拥抱一样安慰孩子的心灵。故答案为A。
C
Former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill once said, “The British are the only people who like to be
told how bad things are.” This is definitely true of British comedy（戏剧）. Most people think humor is about
happy things, but for the British, the opposite is true. We love to use our cruel sense of humor to complain and be
negative.British comedy, for example, draws a fine line between comedy and tragedy（悲剧）. BBC’s The Office is a
TV show, famous for its dry humor. The main character, David Brent, is a foolish man, and the show’s comedy
comes from his delusions. For example, he often tells himself that he is loved by everyone but the viewer can see
that everyone hates him.
Stupid characters for the audience to laugh at are an old tradition in Britain. In Shakespeare’s play Twelfth
Night, the character Malvolio is an old man whom people play tricks on. The audience will laugh away, although
the reality is that this man is a truly tragic individual（个体）.
This side of British humor is reflected（反映）in friendships as well. At university, my friends and I would
always laugh at one another. I had an American friend who actually found this sarcasm（挖苦）quite upsetting.
She didn’t realize that in Britain, the better friends you are with someone, the more you laugh at them.
This way—laughing at everything—may sound rather depressing（沮丧），but our strange humor played a
big part in British history. In World War II, along with a stiff upper lip（坚定沉着）, the British got through it by
laughing. What else was there to do?
There is a saying in English: “Laugh and the world laughs with you; cry and you cry alone.” If you are ever on
the receiving end of British sarcasm, you may feel like crying, but it’s best to just laugh it off!
33. How is British comedy different from other types?
A. It is often surprising and boring. B. It often laughs at human nature.
C. It is often about negative things. D. It often makes people feel depressed.
34. What does the underlined word “delusions” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. strong abilities B. fun characters C. incorrect beliefs D. deep confidence
35. Why is Shakespeare’s play Twelfth Night mentioned in the article?
A. To show one of the best examples of British comedy.
B. To explain how Shakespeare’s comedy is different.
C. To show how difficult it is to make people accept British comedy.
D. To prove Britain has a long tradition of laughing at stupid characters.
36. How does the author advise people to react（反应）to British humor?
A. Learn from it. B. Don’t take it seriously.
C. Reply sarcastically. D. Be careful not to make stupid mistakes.
【答案】33. C 34. C 35. D 36. B
【解析】
【分析】本文主要介绍了英式幽默的特点以及其形成的历史原因，以及我们应该如何回应这种冷幽默。
【33题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中“The British are the only people who like to be told how bad things are.”和“Most
people think humor is about happy things, but for the British, the opposite is true.”可知，英国人的幽默常常不
是关于好事情的，而是关于坏事情的。故选C。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中“For example, he often tells himself that he is loved by everyone but the viewer can
see that everyone hates him.”可知，他经常告诉自己，人人都爱他，但观众可以看出每个人都讨厌他，所以
这是他错误的看法或者错觉，所以此处划线部分单词delusions的意思是“错觉”。故选C。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Stupid characters for the audience to laugh at are an old tradition in Britain.”可知，
让观众嘲笑的愚蠢角色在英国是一种古老的传统，所以此处列举《第十二夜》是为了说明英国有这一种古
老的传统。故选D。
【36题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“but it’s best to just laugh it off”可知，作者建议人们一笑置之，不要当真。
故选B。
D
Uber has picked Melbourne as the first city outside of the United States to test its flying taxis. Test flights in
the Australian city will begin next year with a goal of commercial ride-hailing （打车） services by 2023, it
announced on Tuesday, in November 2016.
“We will see other Australian cities following soon after,” Susan Anderson, Uber’s regional manager for
Australia, said at the company’s annual flying car conference in Washington DC.
Melbourne will be the third city to host trials of Uber’s flying taxis, after Dallas, Texas, and Los Angeles,
California. The electric taxis will be flown by a pilot.
Uber has partnered with NASA for its flying taxi program, named Elevate, and is one of several companies
racing to make flying vehicles a reality. Other big names in the business include Rolls Royce and Boeing.
Even as it works on developing autonomous, electric flying vehicles, which are still several years away, Uber
is taking its service to the skies in other ways.
The company will start a helicopter service on July 9, taking passengers from Manhattan to JFK Airport in
eight minutes. It says customers who buy the roughly $200 ticket will save an hour of travel time during rush hour.
But the rollout（首次展示） of that service is now clouded by safety concerns about increased air traffic in
cities, following two accidents in New York City in recent weeks.
A helicopter crashed onto the roof of a Manhattan building on June 10, killing the pilot. This deadly accident
came weeks after a helicopter crash in the Hudson River. There were no deaths in that incident.“For us, it shows the need to make safety the absolute base of everything we do,” said Eric Allison, Uber’s
head of Elevate.
Safety will also be a concern in Australia, where Uber has nearly 4 million regular customers for its ride-
hailing service.
“We will continue to work with communities and governments to ensure that we create an urban aviation（飞
,
行） ride-share network that is safe quiet and green,” Anderson said.
37. What can we learn about the flying taxis from the text?
A. Most flying taxis are self-driving.
B. The flying taxi was first tried out in Melbourne.
C. Flying taxis could be used in Australia in several years.
D. The flying taxis turned out to be a failure in America.
38. Why does the author mention Uber’s helicopter service?
A. To further introduce NASA’s cooperation with Uber.
B. To show the challenges facing the flying taxi service.
C. To explain why Uber’s technology stands out.
D. To describe the development of Uber ’s flying services.
39. What is the author’s major concern about flying taxis?
A. Safety. B. Management.
C. Side effects. D. Affordability.
40. What is the author’s attitude toward the flying taxi?
A. His information is based on facts.
B. He doubles about it.
C. He disagrees with it.
D. He is hopeful about it and expecting good things to happen on it.
【答案】37. C 38. D 39. A 40. A
