13．（8分）Buck did not read the newspapers，or he would know that trouble was coming.
In fact，trouble was on its way for every strong dog with warm long hair.This was because men，going through the Arctic（ 北极的），had discovered a yellow metal gold.And because shipping and transportation（运输） companies were advertising the discovery，with strong muscles（肌肉） for working and thick coats to protect them from the cold.
Buck lived at Judge Miller's house in the sunny﹣kissed Santa Clara Valley.There were big stables（马厩），long grape fields，fruit gardens and a big swimming pool.Buck ruled over the whole kingdom.Here he was born and here he had lived the four years of his life.He protected the Judge's sons and daughters at long midnight or early morning walks.On cold winter nights he lay at the Judge's feet in front of the warm library fire.He was king﹣ ﹣king over everything（爬行的），walked，or flew at Judge Miller's place，including humans.
Buck was this kind of dog in the autumn of 1897，when the discovery of gold in the Klondike pulled men from all over the world into the frozen North.But Buck did not read the newspapers.He did not know that Manuel，one of gardener's helpers（赌博）.He believed he could win but he was doomed to failure.
On the night of Manuel's betrayal（背叛），no one saw him and Buck went off through the fields.Buck imagined it to be a relaxing walk.They arrived at a little train.A man talked with Manuel and money passed between them.Manuel tied a price of thick rope around Buck's neck.Buck accepted it quietly.To be sure，it was unwanted，but Buck had learned to trust men he knew.
However，when the ends of the rope were placed in the stranger's hands，he barked.Then the rope tightened（ 收紧），his tongue hanging out of his mouth.Then his strength disappeared，his eyes grew dim（浑浊），and he knew nothing when the train pulled up.Two men threw him into the baggage car.

14．（8分）Three people were sitting around a table in a restaurant in Brazil.How much do you think each of them tipped（给小费）？
The British asked： "It's common to tip 10 percent，right？" The American woman cried： "Oh，I was planning to leave 20 percent!" And the Chinese asked： "What's a tip？"
Although it is not a custom to tip in China，tipping is a big deal in Western countries.When traveling to countries like the US and Canada，it is common to tip about 10 to 15 percent of the bill.
Usually，people give tips to a waiter or waitresses when they eat in a restaurant.The US tops the list of the biggest restaurant tips，with waiters and waitresses expecting to get 10 to 25 percent of the total bill.So if you order ＄100 （about 662 yuan），you're expected to pay your waiter at least ＄15，making your total payment ＄115.
But why is this？Many waiters and waitresses get paid below the US minimum wage （最低工资）and work for tips to make up for that.According to the American travel website TripAdvisor，some states pay their servers only ＄2.13 per hour.It's not just for waiters.Hotel maids，hairdressers and taxi drivers also usually work for tips.
Besides the US，tipping is also popular in some Southeast Asian countries like Thailand.However，in Japan，there is no tipping culture.
（1）The American woman would tip percent in the restaurant in Brazil.
A.10
B.20
C.30
D.0
（2）If you order ＄100 worth of food in the US，you are expected to pay about yuan in all.
A.100
B.115
C.662
D.761
（3）Many American waiters and waitresses work for tips because .
A.American people like their severs.B.American people are willing to tip.
C.American waiters and waitresses like to be tipped.
D.American waiters and waitresses get paid below the minimum wage.
（4）Which of the following is NOT TRUE？
A.Tipping is not popular all over the world.
B.It is not common to tip in China.
C.The US falls behind in the list of the biggest restaurant tips.
D.Waiters，waitresses and some other types of workers work for tips in the US.
15．（6分）Imagine a long train that sends humans across the country at speeds of over 1，000 km/h.It is called the Hyperloop One and sounds like something from a science﹣fiction movie.But the idea，which US billionaire Elon Musk came up with in 2013，is starting to look more believable.
According to Science magazine，the train is being tested in the Nevada desert，US.Pictures of the train have come out and it will do a public test later this year.
The train has lots of carriages（车厢）in order to transport more people.It moves so fast because of the fast﹣moving air inside it.Musk said he wanted to build the Hyperloop One because it was a better idea than slower and more expensive high﹣speed trains.He hopes the 560 km trip from Los Angeles to San Francisco would take just 35 minutes on the Hyperloop One and cost ＄6 billion （42 billion yuan） to make while a high﹣speed railway costs ＄60 billion.
The Hyperloop One would be twice as fast as the Shanghai Maglev（磁悬浮），which is one of the world's fastest public trains with a top speed of about 500 km/h.
The City of Dubai has already signed several papers with Musk's company.They want to connect the city with Abu Dhabi and turn a two﹣hour car trip into a 12﹣minute journey according to Yahoo news.The Hyperloop One team is now working with two major engineering companies，as well as people from NASA，Space X and Boeing.
It is said that it's possible that the Hyperloop One dream will become a reality（现实）soon.

A.accepted what the papers say
B.refused what the papers say
C.changed what the papers say
D.wasted what the papers say
（2）Why did Musk want to build the Hyperloop One？
A.To make trips slower.
B.To make costs higher.
C.To make people richer.
D.To make trips shorter.

30．（10分）Every country has its own culture that has been passed down from generation to generation.Some habits will be difficult for outsiders to understand.The Guide in China website has picked out some useful Chinese habits that are really strange in foreigners' eyes，but useful.Let's take a look.
●Beating eggs with chopsticks
Of course，chopsticks can be used to put food into your mouth.It is also great to mix hot food and beat eggs with chopsticks.One reason could be that chopsticks are very precise（精确的）.
●Biscuit boxes used as sewing boxes（针线盒）
If you see a biscuit box in a Chinese home，don't open it，because it's possible that it's only a sewing box.Many Chinese people，keep the old biscuit boxes.These are used to store things like sewing kits（针线包）and jewelry.It is also a great way to recycle other used boxes.
●Using a finger to work out the water﹣to﹣rice ratio（比例） when cooking rice
This is called"the first knuckle（关节）method".Put your first finger on top of rice that has been put into a rice cooker，and add water until it reaches your first knuckle.This may seem strange to foreigners who usually use cups.But believe it or not，long before cups were used and electric rice cookers were invented.
根据上面的短文内容填空。
（1）Outsiders can't understand some habits picked out from The Guide in China website .These habits are really strange but .
（2）People can use chopsticks to put food . hot food and beating eggs with chopsticks are great.

Nowadays online study has been popular among us students.Of course it has many advantages.It saves time and can learn more.Online classes don't cost much.It makes learning more convenient.However，its disadvantages are also quite clear.When we have problems，we can't communicate with our teachers or classmates as much as we do in the classroom.Some of us also spend too much time on games and online movies.If you watch mobile phones and computers for a long time，it's harmful to your eyes.
I suggest that in order to protect our eyes，we should have a good rest.I think if we can learn to better control ourselves，we will enjoy the good service from online study and make great progress in our study.
