As a young girl growing up in France, Sarah Toumi dreamed of becoming a leader who could make the world a better place. Her passion to help others was awakened when, from the age of nine, she accompanied her Tunisian father to his birthplace in the east of the country during holidays. There she organized homework clubs and activities for children.
Toumi witnessed first-hand the destructive effect of desertification (沙漠化). “Within 10 years rich farmers became worse off, and in 10 years from now they will be poor. I wanted to stop the Sahara Desert in its tracks.” A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts have led to an estimated 75 percent of Tunisia’s agricultural lands being threatened by desertification.
Toumi recognized that farming practices needed to change. She is confident that small land areas can bring large returns if farmers are able to adapt by planting sustainable crops, using new technologies for water treatment and focusing on natural products and fertilizers rather than chemicals.
In 2012, Toumi consolidated (巩固) her dream of fighting the desert. She moved to Tunisia, and set up a programme named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy (理念) into action. “I want to show young people in rural areas that they can create opportunities where they are. Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate change than somebody who is living with no access to water.”
By September 2016, more than 130, 000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms, with farmers recording a 60 percent survival rate. Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia’s farmland. She expects to plant 1 million trees by 2018. In the next couple of years, Toumi hopes to extend the programme to Algeria and Morocco.
4. How did Toumi’s holiday trips to Tunisia influence her
A. They made her decide to leave the country.
B. They helped her better understand her father.
C. They aroused her enthusiasm for helping others.
D. They destroyed her dream of being a teacher.
5. What is the main cause of the desertification of Tunisia’s farmland
A. Low rainfall. B. Soil pollution. C. Cold weather. D. Forest damage.
6. Why did Toumi set up Acacias for All in Tunisia
A. To create job opportunities for young people.
B. To help the children obtain a basic education.
C. To persuade the farmers not to use fertilizers.
D. To promote the protection of their farmland.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Saving Water in Tunisia B. Holding back the Sahara
C. Planting Trees of Native Species D. Fighting Poverty in North Africa
C
A recent issue of National Geographic magazine described one of the wonders of the earth, the tiny silver ants of the Sahara desert. These ants live in areas where temperatures reach up to 57℃, as the article described it, an environment “where shoes melt.”
These tiny ants are amazing. In the Sahara desert, where most creatures avoid going out in the middle of the day to avoid high temperatures,the Saharan silver ants have evolved(进化)a number of adaptations to do just that. Scientists have discovered that several unique features of the Saharan silver ants permit them to grow well in a scorching climate.
These ants have longer legs than other ants, which keep their bodies critically greater distance away from the hot desert sand. The ants run 108 times the length of their own bodies every second at a speed of just over 3kph. And they keep track of the position of the sun, so that they always know the most direct route back to the nest, thus lowering their time spent in extreme heat. Their bodies produce proteins that resist heat. Some other creatures produce such proteins after they come in contact with extreme heat. But since the silver ants only exit the nest for a few minutes at a time — not long enough for the protein to take effect — they produce the protein while still in the nest before they go out, or they would die before the protein could take effect.
Researchers also discovered that the ants are covered on their tops and sides with the uniquely triangular(三角的)shape of the silver hairs,which enable them to dissipate(消散)heat.The hairs help an ant's body exchange its heat to a cooler area, even under full sun conditions. This discovery inspired the scientists, for it could lead to new materials and paints that can be applied to rooftops or cars to keep them cool. And it is also expected to be applied in clinical care, wearable devices,protective clothing and other fields.
8. What does the underlined word “scorching”in Paragraph 2 mean
A. extremely chilly B. extremely cool
C. extremely mild D. extremely hot
9. Which statement can be inferred from the text
A. The Saharan silver ants' hairs act like a tiny air-heating system.
B. The Saharan silver ants are born with the ability to track the moon.
C. The Saharan silver ants' adaptations to the desert are to be discovered.
D. Inspiration from the Saharan silver ants will bring up more new inventions.
10. When do the Saharan silver ants produce the protein that resists heat
A. After coming in contact with extreme heat.
B. Before traveling in the sun.
C. While running under full sun condition.
D. After coming back to the nest from outside.
11. What would be the best title for the text
A. Small Ants Make a Big Difference
B. Small Ants Hunt for Food Easily
C. Small Ants Survive in the Saharan Desert
D. Small Ants Jump the Fastest in the World
D
The most important determining factor of success or failure—at work and in life—is self-awareness, the ability to understand who we are, how others see us, and how we fit into the world.
For millions of years, the ancestors of humans evolved painfully slowly. However, about 150,000 years ago there was an explosive development in the human brain where, among other things, we gained the ability to examine our own thoughts, feelings and behaviors, as well as to see things from another’s point of view. Not only did this transformation create the foundation for art, spiritual practices and language, but it came with a survival advantage for our ancestors, who had to work together in order to survive.
Though we may not face the same day-to-day threats to our existence, self-awareness is no less critical. There is strong scientific evidence that people who know themselves and how others see them are happier. They are smarter, superior students. They raise more mature children. They also tend to be more creative, confident and less aggressive.
But for most people it is easier to choose self-delusion (自我欺骗) rather than the cold hard truth. Our increasingly “me” focused society makes it easier to fall into this trap. Recent generations have grown up in a World obsessed with self-esteem (自负), constantly being reminded of their special qualities. Not only are our assessments often flawed (有缺陷), but we are usually terrible judges of our own performance and abilities—from leadership skills to achievements at school and work. What’s scary is that the least competent people are usually the most confident in their abilities.
How can we avoid this fate We must work on two specific types of insight. Internal self-awareness is an inward understanding of our passions and aspirations, strengths and weaknesses and so on. And external self-awareness, knowing how others see you, means understanding yourself from the outside in.
For those looking to gain true insight, remember that other people often see us more objectively than we see ourselves and that self-examination can have hidden trap that make insight actually impossible.
12. The first three paragraphs mainly talk about _______.
A. the significance of self-awareness in human survival and advancement
B. the sharp contrast between self-awareness of today and the past
C. the necessity of a shift in self-awareness to satisfy the needs today
D. the intelligence gap between modern men and their ancestors
13. What’s the problem with “me” focused society nowadays
A. People’s performance and abilities are overlooked.
B. Competent people tend to be unconfident of their leadership skills.
C. It’s difficult to obtain an objective assessment of ourselves.
D. Modern people fail to bring their special qualities into full play.
14. Which of the following is an example of external self-awareness
A. You listen to the comments about you from others.
B. You are fully aware of your strengths and weaknesses.
C. You reflect your behaviors thoroughly every day.
D. You carefully compare your behavior with that of others.
15. In the last paragraph, the author suggests that we should _______.
A. develop true insight to judge people more objectively B. try to avoid the trap set by others
C. gain more insight by means of self-examination D. pay more attention to external self-awareness

As a young girl growing up in France, Sarah Toumi dreamed of becoming a leader who could make the world a better place. Her passion to help others was awakened when, from the age of nine, she accompanied her Tunisian father to his birthplace in the east of the country during holidays. There she organized homework clubs and activities for children.
Toumi witnessed first-hand the destructive effect of desertification (沙漠化). “Within 10 years rich farmers became worse off, and in 10 years from now they will be poor. I wanted to stop the Sahara Desert in its tracks.” A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts have led to an estimated 75 percent of Tunisia’s agricultural lands being threatened by desertification.
Toumi recognized that farming practices needed to change. She is confident that small land areas can bring large returns if farmers are able to adapt by planting sustainable crops, using new technologies for water treatment and focusing on natural products and fertilizers rather than chemicals.
In 2012 Toumi consolidated (巩固) her dream of fighting the desert. She moved to Tunisia, and set up a programme named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy (理念) into action. “I want to show young people in rural areas that they can create opportunities where they are. Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate change than somebody who is living with no access to water.”
By September 2016, more than 130, 000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms, with farmers recording a 60 percent survival rate. Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia’s farmland. She expects to plant 1 million trees by 2018. In the next couple of years, Toumi hopes to extend the programme to Algeria and Morocco.
4. How did Toumi’s holiday trips to Tunisia influence her
A. They made her decide to leave the country.
B. They helped her better understand her father.
C. They aroused her enthusiasm for helping others.
D. They destroyed her dream of being a teacher.
5. What is the main cause of the desertification of Tunisia’s farmland
A. Low rainfall. B. Soil pollution. C. Cold weather. D. Forest damage.
6. Why did Toumi set up Acacias for All in Tunisia
A. To create job opportunities for young people.
B. To help the children obtain a basic education.
C. To persuade the farmers not to use fertilizers.
D. To promote the protection of their farmland.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Saving Water in Tunisia B. Holding back the Sahara
C. Planting Trees of Native Species D. Fighting Poverty in North Africa
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. B

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了主人公图米在假期陪伴父亲回突尼斯东部的出生地后，激发了她要帮助当地人的热情，由此创立了Acacias for All项目，种植金合欢树，保护当地农田免遭撒哈拉沙漠吞噬，实践其可持续农业的理念。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Her passion to help others was awakened when, from the age of nine, she accompanied her Tunisian father to his birthplace in the east of the country during holidays. (从9岁起，她就开始在假期陪伴她来自于突尼斯的父亲去突尼斯东部的出生地，这激发了她帮助他人的热情。)”可知，图米去突尼斯度假的经历唤醒了她帮助他人的热情。故选C项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts have led to an estimated 75 percent of Tunisia’s agricultural lands being threatened by desertification. (平均降雨量的减少和干旱严重程度的增加导致突尼斯大约75%的农业土地受到沙漠化的威胁。)”可知，降雨量少是突尼斯农田沙漠化的主要原因。故选A项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段第二句“She moved to Tunisia, and set up a programme named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy (理念) into action. (她搬到突尼斯，并建立了一个名为Acacias for All的项目，将她的可持续农业理念付诸行动。)”，最后一段中“By September 2016, more than 130, 000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms, with farmers recording a 60 percent survival rate. Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia’s farmland. (截至2016年9月，在20个试点农场种植了13万多棵金合欢树，农民记录其成活率达到60%。图米估计，为了保护突尼斯的农田，大约需要300万棵金金合欢。)”可知，她创立Acacias for All项目的目的是保护当地的农田。故选D项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其最后一段中“By September 2016, more than 130, 000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms, with farmers recording a 60 per cent survival rate. Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia’s farmland. (截至2016年9月，在20个试点农场种植了13万多棵金合欢树，农民记录其成活率达到60%。图米估计，为了保护突尼斯的农田，大约需要300万棵金合槐。)”可知，文章讲述的是主人公图米在9岁时，在一次陪伴爸爸回突尼斯家乡时激发了她要帮助当地人的热情，由此创立了Acacias for All项目，种植金合欢树，改善保护当地农田，坚持与沙漠化作斗争，实践其可持续农业的理念。B选项“Holding back the Sahara (阻挡撒哈拉沙漠)”符合文章标题。故选B。
C
A recent issue of National Geographic magazine described one of the wonders of the earth, the tiny silver ants of the Sahara desert. These ants live in areas where temperatures reach up to 57℃, as the article described it, an environment “where shoes melt.”
These tiny ants are amazing. In the Sahara desert where most creatures avoid going out in the middle of the day to avoid high temperatures,the Saharan silver ants have evolved(进化)a number of adaptations to do just that. Scientists have discovered that several unique features of the Saharan silver ants permit them to grow well in a scorching climate.
These ants have longer legs than other ants, which keep their bodies critically greater distance away from the hot desert sand. The ants run 108 times the length of their own bodies every second at a speed of just over 3kph. And they keep track of the position of the sun, so that they always know the most direct route back to the nest, thus lowering their time spent in extreme heat. Their bodies produce proteins that resist heat. Some other creatures produce such proteins after they come in contact with extreme heat. But since the silver ants only exit the nest for a few minutes at a time — not long enough for the protein to take effect — they produce the protein while still in the nest before they go out, or they would die before the protein could take effect.
Researchers also discovered that the ants are covered on their tops and sides with the uniquely triangular(三角的)shape of the silver hairs,which enable them to dissipate(消散)heat.The hairs help an ant's body exchange its heat to a cooler area, even under full sun conditions. This discovery inspired the scientists, for it could lead to new materials and paints that can be applied to rooftops or cars to keep them cool. And it is also expected to be applied in clinical care, wearable devices,protective clothing and other fields.
8. What does the underlined word “scorching”in Paragraph 2 mean
A. extremely chilly B. extremely cool
C extremely mild D. extremely hot
9. Which statement can be inferred from the text
A. The Saharan silver ants' hairs act like a tiny air-heating system.
B. The Saharan silver ants are born with the ability to track the moon.
C. The Saharan silver ants' adaptations to the desert are to be discovered.
D. Inspiration from the Saharan silver ants will bring up more new inventions.
10. When do the Saharan silver ants produce the protein that resists heat
A. After coming in contact with extreme heat.
B. Before traveling in the sun.
C. While running under full sun condition.
D. After coming back to the nest from outside.
11. What would be the best title for the text
A. Small Ants Make a Big Difference
B. Small Ants Hunt for Food Easily
C. Small Ants Survive in the Saharan Desert
D. Small Ants Jump the Fastest in the World
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在高温地区撒哈拉沙漠生存的银蚂蚁及其特征，它们的生存方式给研究人员带来了很多发明灵感。
【8题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第一段“These ants live in areas where temperatures reach up to 57℃, as the article described it, an environment "where shoes melt."(这些蚂蚁生活在文章描述的温度高达7℃的地区，这是一个“鞋子都会融化”的环境。)”，以及第二段“In the Sahara desert, where most creatures avoid going out in the middle of the day to avoid high temperatures,the Saharan silver ants have evolved(进化)a number of adaptations to do just that.(在撒哈拉沙漠中，大多数生物避免在中午外出，以避免高温，撒哈拉银蚂蚁进化出了许多适应性来做到这一点。)”可知，银蚂蚁它们生长在温度很高的地方，由此可推知scorching意为“特别热的”，故选D项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“This discovery inspired the scientists, for it could lead to new materials and paints that can be applied to rooftops or cars to keep them cool. And it is also expected to be applied in clinical care, wearable devices,protective clothing and other fields.(这一发现激发了科学家们的灵感，因为它可能带来新的材料和油漆，可以应用于屋顶或汽车，以保持凉爽。它也有望应用于临床护理、可穿戴设备、防护服等领域。)”可知，来自撒哈拉银蚁的灵感将带来更多的新发明。故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“But since the silver ants only exit the nest for a few minutes at a time — not long enough for the protein to take effect — they produce the protein while still in the nest before they go out, or they would die before the protein could take effect.(但是，由于银蚁一次只离开巢穴几分钟——时间不足以使蛋白质发挥作用——它们在外出前仍在巢穴中产生蛋白质，否则它们会在蛋白质发挥作用之前死亡。)”可知，它们在出去太阳下行动之前就产生蛋白质，故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“A recent issue of National Geographic magazine described one of the wonders of the earth, the tiny silver ants of the Sahara desert. These ants live in areas where temperatures reach up to 57℃, as the article described it, an environment “where shoes melt.”(最近一期《国家地理》杂志描述了地球上的奇迹之一，撒哈拉沙漠中的小银蚁。这些蚂蚁生活在文章描述的温度高达57℃的地区，这是一个“鞋子都会融化”的环境。)”，结合全文内容可知，本文介绍了在高温地区撒哈拉沙漠生存的银蚂蚁，所以C项“小蚂蚁在撒哈拉沙漠生存”符合文章主旨，适合作为本文的标题。故选C项。
D
The most important determining factor of success or failure—at work and in life—is self-awareness, the ability to understand who we are, how others see us, and how we fit into the world.
For millions of years, the ancestors of humans evolved painfully slowly. However, about 150,000 years ago there was an explosive development in the human brain where, among other things, we gained the ability to examine our own thoughts, feelings and behaviors, as well as to see things from another’s point of view. Not only did this transformation create the foundation for art, spiritual practices and language, but it came with a survival advantage for our ancestors, who had to work together in order to survive.
Though we may not face the same day-to-day threats to our existence, self-awareness is no less critical. There is strong scientific evidence that people who know themselves and how others see them are happier. They are smarter, superior students. They raise more mature children. They also tend to be more creative, confident and less aggressive.
But for most people it is easier to choose self-delusion (自我欺骗) rather than the cold hard truth. Our increasingly “me” focused society makes it easier to fall into this trap. Recent generations have grown up in a World obsessed with self-esteem (自负), constantly being reminded of their special qualities. Not only are our assessments often flawed (有缺陷), but we are usually terrible judges of our own performance and abilities—from leadership skills to achievements at school and work. What’s scary is that the least competent people are usually the most confident in their abilities.
How can we avoid this fate We must work on two specific types of insight. Internal self-awareness is an inward understanding of our passions and aspirations, strengths and weaknesses and so on. And external self-awareness, knowing how others see you, means understanding yourself from the outside in.
For those looking to gain true insight, remember that other people often see us more objectively than we see ourselves and that self-examination can have hidden trap that make insight actually impossible.
12. The first three paragraphs mainly talk about _______.
A. the significance of self-awareness in human survival and advancement
B. the sharp contrast between self-awareness of today and the past
C. the necessity of a shift in self-awareness to satisfy the needs today
D. the intelligence gap between modern men and their ancestors
13. What’s the problem with “me” focused society nowadays
A. People’s performance and abilities are overlooked.
B. Competent people tend to be unconfident of their leadership skills.
C. It’s difficult to obtain an objective assessment of ourselves.
D. Modern people fail to bring their special qualities into full play.
14. Which of the following is an example of external self-awareness
A. You listen to the comments about you from others.
B. You are fully aware of your strengths and weaknesses.
C. You reflect your behaviors thoroughly every day.
D. You carefully compare your behavior with that of others.
15. In the last paragraph, the author suggests that we should _______.
A. develop true insight to judge people more objectively B. try to avoid the trap set by others
C. gain more insight by means of self-examination D. pay more attention to external self-awareness
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了自我意识在人类生存和进步中的重要性，以及如今社会以“我”为中心存在的问题。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“The most important determining factor of success or failure—at work and in life—is self-awareness, the ability to understand who we are, how others see us, and how we fit into the world.(在工作和生活中，决定成功或失败的最重要因素是自我意识，了解自己是谁、别人如何看待我们以及我们如何融入这个世界的能力)”；第二段中“However, about 150,000 years ago there was an explosive development in the human brain where, among other things, we gained the ability to examine our own thoughts, feelings and behaviors, as well as to see things from another’s point of view. Not only did this transformation create the foundation for art, spiritual practices and language, but it came with a survival advantage for our ancestors, who had to work together in order to survive.(然而，大约在15万年前，人类的大脑发生了一次爆炸性的发展，其中，我们获得了审视自己的思想、感觉和行为的能力，以及从他人的角度看问题的能力。这种转变不仅为艺术、精神实践和语言创造了基础，而且为我们的祖先带来了生存优势，他们必须共同努力才能生存)”以及第三段中“Though we may not face the same day-to-day threats to our existence, self-awareness is no less critical.(虽然我们可能不会每天面对同样的威胁，但自我意识同样重要)”可知，前三段主要讨论了自我意识在人类生存和进步中的重要性。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“But for most people it is easier to choose self-delusion (自我欺骗) rather than the cold hard truth. Our increasingly “me” focused society makes it easier to fall into this trap. Recent generations have grown up in a World obsessed with self-esteem (自负), constantly being reminded of their special qualities. Not only are our assessments often flawed (有缺陷), but we are usually terrible judges of our own performance and abilities—from leadership skills to achievements at school and work. What’s scary is that the least competent people are usually the most confident in their abilities.(但对大多数人来说，选择自欺欺人比选择冷酷无情的事实更容易。我们这个越来越以“我”为中心的社会更容易陷入这个陷阱。最近几代人成长在一个迷恋自尊的世界里，不断地被提醒自己的特殊品质。不仅我们的评估常常有缺陷，而且我们通常对自己的表现和能力——从领导技能到学校和工作中的成就——的判断也很糟糕。可怕的是，能力最差的人通常对自己的能力最自信)”可知，当今以“我”为中心的社会存在的问题是很难对自己做出客观的评价。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“And external self-awareness, knowing how others see you, means understanding yourself from the outside in.(外部自我意识，知道别人怎么看你，意味着从外到内了解你自己)”可知，A选项“你听别人对你的评价”是外部自我意识的例子。故选A。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“For those looking to gain true insight, remember that other people often see us more objectively than we see ourselves and that self-examination can have hidden trap that make insight actually impossible.(对于那些想要获得真知灼见的人，请记住，别人对我们的看法往往比我们对自己的看法更客观，而自我反省可能隐藏着陷阱，使真知灼见实际上不可能实现)”可知，在最后一段，作者建议我们应该更加注意外在的自我意识。故选D。
