26、Get your suitcases and cameras ready, because it’s time to combine little-known legends with classic destinations on our friendly mini-coach tours of Britain.

Each trip of Rabbie’s comes with a driver-guide who knows the stories, sights, and secrets of the area you’re visiting. So, what are you waiting for? Put away your guidebooks and hop on. All the following trips start from Edinburg.

Option 1: Alnwick Castle — 1-day tour

You can admit it. When you read Harry Potter, you dreamed of becoming a wizard. And who wouldn’t? Casting spells, reading magical books, and flying on broomsticks would be incredible.

On this tour we take you to the setting for Hogwarts at Alnwick Castle. If you’re not into Harry Potter, you’ll still discover beautiful views on this exceptional tour of the borders of Scotland and England.

Option 2: Hadrian’s Wall, Roman Britain & the Scottish Borders — 1-day tour

The Romans came; they saw, but they couldn’t quite conquer. After centuries of raiding (掠夺) and fighting the ancient north of Britannia, they decided to build a wall.

But this isn’t just any wall. It’s an astonishing achievement. It showcases the might of the ancient Roman Empire and illustrates how the Romans interacted with tribal Britain.

It’s perfect for anyone fascinated by the collision of cultures and quintessential (精华的) British landscapes.

Option 3: Loch Ness, Inverness & the Highlands — 2-day tour

Explore Loch Ness and the Highlands at a laid-back pace on this two-day tour.

You learn about Scotland’s native forests on a tranquil (宁静的) walk. You travel through majestic mountains and quaint villages. And you get plenty of time to see if you can find the infamous Loch Ness Monster.

Option 4: The Isle of Skye — 3-day tour

Spend three days weaving through the landscapes, legends, histories and landmarks of the heart of Scotland. On your journey north, you’ll learn about the battles between the Scottish and the English.

In Skye, you’ll stay in the cute and cultural town of Portree, and treat yourself to the local cuisine (for free). On the way back, we will call at Loch Ness, so you won’t miss your chance to find the Loch Ness Monster.

28、   At one point in time, IQ was viewed as the decisive factor of success. People with high IQ were assumed to have a life of accomplishment and achievement and researchers debated that intelligence was the product of genes or the environment. However, some critics began to realize that high intelligence was no guarantee for success in life, it was perhaps too narrow a concept to fully include the wide range of human abilities and knowledge.

IQ is still recognized as an important element of success, particularly when it comes to academic achievement. People with high IQ typically do well in school and tend to be healthier in general. But today experts recognize it isn’t the only determination of life success. Instead, it is part of a complex series of influences that includes EQ. The concept of EQ has influenced many areas, including the business world. Many companies now have EQ training and use EQ tests as part of the hiring process.

Research has found that individuals with strong leadership potential also tend to be more emotionally intelligent, suggesting that a high EQ is an important quality for business leaders and managers to have. One insurance company discovered that EQ could play a vital role in sales success.

Emotional abilities can also influence the choices that consumers make when making buying decisions. Nobel-prize winning psychologist Daniel Kahneman has found that people would rather deal with a person they trust and like rather than someone they don’t, even if that means paying more for a product that may be of low quality.

According to one recent study, approximately 50% of kids took part in SEL (Social and Emotional Learning) programs and almost 40% of them showed improved grade-point-averages. These programs were also linked to increased school attendance and reduced disciplinary problems. Some strategies for teaching EQ include offering character education, modeling positive behaviors, encouraging people to think about how others are feeling.

【1】What quality should a business leader have according to the text?

A.Having good appearances.

B.Having a master’s degree.

C.Being emotionally intelligent.

D.Graduating from a famous university.

【2】What can be learned from Kahneman’s finding?

A.Consumers with high EQ is unlikely to be cheated.

B.Consumers with high EQ prefer buying bargains.

C.EQ is very important to sales people.

D.Sales people with high EQ are usually honest.

【3】What can we know from the last paragraph?

A.Most kids have taken part in SEL programs.

B.EQ can be strengthened.

C.Kids with high IQ have better achievement scores.

D.The SEL programs have made most kids perform better.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A.EQ is as important as IQ.

B.EQ is much more important than IQ.

C.People with high EQ will definitely succeed.

D.IQ is the most important factor of success.

29、   Statistics show that most toddlers (刚学走路的小孩) learn how to say about 20 words by 18 months. Talking is easy. If you ask anyone, none will remember how they started doing it, it just comes naturally.

But what might not flow as smoothly as words, is body language. It's a whole different deal when you're using your hands, eyes or head instead of your tongue. And what makes it even more complicated is the fact that body language differs all around the world.

I find it shockingly amazing how just a small finger gesture could mean one thing in the east and the completely opposite in the west. For instance, in Japan bowing is the most common greeting. It shows respect and Japanese pay a lot of attention to the details like the timing, posture and movement. A bow in Japan represents sincerity, respect and graciousness. While in New Zealand Maori, the pressing of noses and foreheads is the traditional greeting. They call it "hongi”; which is regarded as the breath of life.

For most of us, nodding our head up and down often means agreement, but not for the Bulgarians or Greeks. In both cultures, nodding one's head up and down actually means“no”. The American goodbye wave could actually be interpreted (领会) as a“no”in many parts of Europe and Latin America. And the Italian goodbye wave would be understood in America as a “come here” and the American “come here” gesture would actually be seen as an insult (侮辱) in most of Asia.

So before you travel to explore a different culture, make sure you're aware of alternate meanings for body language. We live in a world with many different cultures, so don't forget how differently one hand gesture can be interpreted!

【1】What makes body language misunderstood often?

A.Its wide uses. B.Its smooth flowing.

C.Its difficulties in understanding. D.The background of different cultures.

【2】What does the pressing of noses and foreheads mean in New Zealand?

A.Breath. B.Respect. C.Tradition. D.Greeting.

【3】In which country does nodding mean “no”?

A.America. B.Greece. C.New Zealand. D.Japan.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.The Origin of Body Language B.The Limitation of Culture

C.Body Language Around the World D.The Difference of Culture Around the World

30、   For the past three years, I have been working full-time, attending school, and raising a family. To say I am tired is an understatement (保守的陈述）.

My teenage daughter _______to run a 5K this Saturday morning. When we arrived at the start, it occurred to me that I should run with her, _______I believed that I couldn't do it.

34、Directions: Complete the following passages by using the words in the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Tablets are really useful devices, but their big screens always make them a burden to carry around without a bag. Wouldn’t it be great if there were a phone with the powers of a tablet that could be folded up and fit 【1】 into the hand?

Now something like a tablet-shaped but fold-able phone is about to become 【2】. In February, South Korean electronics company Samsung and China’s Huawei both unveiled fold-able phones Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X 【3】. Mobile phone use has entered the “fold-able future”, The Verge noted.

The technology could change our lives in significant ways. These devices, due to their 【4】 screens, give us the larger screens we want. Meanwhile, they still fit easily into the pocket. As USA Today noted, they’re “the 【5】 of a small tablets and smart-phone, all in a single device”.

The technology could 【6】 other devices too. For example, we could make TVs that stick to walls like posters, or fold up easily to hide away in drawers. In crowded modem cities, they will help us to 【7】 available space.

In a keynote address, Samsung’s senior vice president of mobile product marketing, Justin Denison, called the fold-able screen “the 【8】 for the smart-phone of tomorrow.” “It’s a balank canvas for us to do something beautiful together,” he said.

So is there nothing to stand in the way of the fold-able future?

According to tech news website Android authority, the necessary displays were difficult to produce. In 2012, nine out of every to OLED screens produced were 【9】. Today, that 10 percent rate has been improved to between 50 and 90 percent. However, at present these fold-able devices are expensive. For example, the price of Huawei Mate X is 17,500 RMB. That’s a price that may 【10】 the majority of people.

But if the fold-able device isn’t going to change the world overnight, there is no doubt that it is coming.

Patrick Moor-head, an industry analyst told The Verge, “Few are debating if fold-able or roll-able mobile displays are the future of smart-phones; the only question is when and by whom.”

35、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

AI artwork sells for $432,500 — nearly 45 times its high【1】 — as Christie’s becomes the first auction house to offer a work of art created by an algorithm. This portrait, however, is not the product of a human mind. It was created by an【2】 intelligence, an algorithm defined by that algebraic formula with its many parentheses. And when it went under the【3】 in the Prints & Multiples sale at Christie’s on 23-25 October, Portrait of Edmond Belamy sold for an【4】 $432,500, signaling the arrival of AI art on the world auction stage.

From a distance, Portrait of Edmond de Belamy looks almost plausible. Up close, however, the paintwork becomes a grid of mechanical-looking dots, the man’s face a golden blur with black holes for eyes. Look into those eyes. They show no sign of feeling or life. Did a computer make this?

The answer is yes. The first artwork【5】 by AI to be sold at Christie’s, its【6】 price would seem to suggest that in future we will get computers to make art for us. Robot van Gogh will harmlessly cut its ear off and robot Picasso will be a genius.

Is this the future AI art visionaries such as the French collective Obvious, which programmed this “painter” by getting it to compare its own work with 15,000 pre-20th century portraits, have in mind? Or are they just, God forbid, making a fast buck from deceivable art collectors? Because believing the algorithm that knocked this up to be in any meaningful way an “artist” is like thinking your voice-interaction programme is out to get you. Dream on. Computers would need to replicate human consciousness before they could replicate the funny thing humans do called “art”.

Art is a way in which human 【7】 expresses itself, and is equally true of the earliest cave art, Rembrandt’s portraits and Duchamp’s urinal. And that is what is missing from Portrait of Edmond Bellamy. Art is a way humans communicate ideas, perceptions and feelings to each other. It has no 【8】 outside the human passion to communicate. So in what meaningful sense can an AI replica of certain【9】 traits of old master paintings be called art?

For a robot to really make art, it would need an autonomous mind that was emotional as well as【10】. No AI developer has yet claimed to be anywhere near achieving that and if they ever do, their creation will probably have better things to do than paint portraits — like destroy humanity.

Maybe afterwards robots will invent their own kind of art, but it won’t be some poor pastiche of human genius.

It will be beyond anything we organics could imagine.

40、Directions：Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

There are various means consumers can do if they find that an item they bought is faulty or in some other way does not live up to the manufacturer’s claims. A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager. In general, the“higher up”his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumer’s favor, assuming he or she has a just claim.

Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the place of purchase, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter．

Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can demonstrate what is wrong with the item in question. If this cannot be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. For example,“The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear”is better than“This stereo does not work.”The store manager may advice the consumer to write to the manufacturer. If so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and firmly as possible. If a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go to a step further. She or he can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or public organization responsible for protecting consumer’s rights.
