Around five years ago,Dan lost his vision completely and now is defined as a blind personbut refuses to let it hold him

9、 back.

Dan started performing tricks that some might not expect a blind person to be able to dolike throwing

10、 darts(飞镖)but they would be wrong. He said he felt a need to prove himself to those who doubted his abilities. So Dan,who has been skateboarding since he was seven years old,recently posted a video of himself performing a trick on the Internet. The experience reminded him of his love for the sport a

16、e walls that make it look like a giant fingerprint when seen from above. The oval-shaped island of Baljenac is covered by a 23-kilometer-long network of dry-stone walls. Youd think it was an ancient labyrinth(迷官),if not for the fact that the walls are about waist high and designed only to make agric

17、ulture easier in an unfriendly place. The rocky land and strong winds arent exactly perfect for the growth of plants, so the natives of the nearby island of Kaprije built these stone walls to separate their crops and offer them some protection. Its a technique used in other parts of Europe, like Eng

18、land or Ireland, but nowhere else do these walls copy the pattern of a human fingerprint as they do on Baljenac Island. The uninhabited island has a surface of only 0.14 square kilometers but features 23 kilometers of walls created simply by piling rocks on top of each other. The same type of walls

19、are used on Kaprije and Zut, but Baljenac has by far the highest concentration by surface area. Most of the stone wall network is believed to have been built during the 19th century, butboth Baljenac and Kaprije served as safe shelters for Christians during the Ottoman conquests (征服)of the 16th and

20、17th centuries ,so some parts of the wall could be even older. Ever since aerial photos of Baljenac started spreading on the Internet, the popularity of the fingerprint island has grown considerably as has tourist presence in the area. Although locals welcome visitors, some worry about the damage su

21、ffered by the walls at the hands of ill-mannered tourists. The Croatian government has requested that UNESCO include this island in its list of world heritage sites, which will not only boost its popularity even more but also guarantee Baljenac higher protection from the local authorities.8Why were

24、he text most probably come from?AA travel website.BA science report.CA history book.DA financial magazine.Can you really find out where someone is from based on how they queue (排队)?And why across the world do some queues seem to take forever, while others, even of the same waiting time, seem to go r

25、elatively quickly?Richard Larson, Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor and a world expert on queues, as well as various social scientists, believes how you queue does, in fact, often give away your origin. In the United States, how people queue even depends on which city they are from. “O

26、ne of my findings is that you can tell a lot about the social culture of citizens by watching their micro behavior in queues. People in Boston, New York and Washington DCall queue in different ways,”he says. “In Washington, people queue at a random point in a sidewalk. These are government workers w

27、ho know that the bus stops at this place at 4:05, so they queue up dutifully first come first serve. I have never seen any such behavior in New York or Boston.”No matter how “good” the queuers are, though, scientists agree that for the queue to function, it needs to be fair. As long as people are se

28、rved in the order they are lined up, queue anger can be avoided. This is the idea behind the winding queue behind ropes or barriers where, when you reach the front, you are directed to the next available server. Its no faster than having individual lines all the way through. But it does mean that no

29、 one arriving after you will get served before you. The final moments of the queue are also important. Research by INSEAD business school professor Ziv Carmon and Princeton University psychology professor Daniel Kahneman found that if our wait ends on a happy note for instance, if the queue speeds u

30、p at the end we will view that experience more positively, even if for most of the time we were very uncomfortable, quietly cursing (骂) the person in front.12How does the author introduce the topic?ABy analyzing facts.BBy presenting findings.CBy raising questions.DBy making comments.13Which of the f

31、ollowing statements may Richard Larson agree with?ASome people get more pleasure from queuing up than others.BThe way you queue is a reflection of your cultural background.CPeople from Washington behave better than those from Boston.DThe understanding of social distance varies from place to place.14

32、What does the underlined part “the idea” in paragraph 4 refer to?AQueuing patiently.BNo pain no gain.CQueuing randomly.DFirst come first serve.15What can we infer from the last paragraph?AOne should take a positive attitude towards queuing.BIt is a good idea to keep queuing until the last moment.CWa

33、iting in a queue is anything but a pleasant experience.DThe movement speed of a queue might make a difference.二、七选五The Art of RecyclingRecycling is not new. Many civilizations have reused objects.

34、 _16_ Others use these recycled materials to make art!_17_ Artists use old tires, pieces of metal, cloth, etc. These materials might come from yard sales or swap meets(旧物交换会).
