Their reasons are as follows: First, being ready to help others is one of the traditional virtues of our nation. Secondly, It’s our instinct that leads us to help those in need. As a saying goes,“Helping others is helping ourselves.”Last but not the least, If the injured receive immediate treatment, they may survive. However, some other students said they would walk away for fear of being scammed. As is reported ,quite a few of people were scammed by the injured or their relatives after they helped them.As far as I’m concerned, actions speak louder than words. Good deeds will be paid off sooner or later. As long as everyone gives a hand to the need, they will make a big difference.附:(听力材料)(Text 1)W: Excuse me. Is the flight from New York on time?M: Yes, it is. It should be arriving in 20 minutes at Gate 5.(Text 2)W: It’s very hard to decide what to eat.

Is this true?M: Oh, yes. I hate that kind of attitude. Some people in Paris do, but I’m sure not everyone in Paris is like that.W: That attitude is difficult for me to understand.

Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D.

Perhaps you’ve tracked how many kilometers you’ve run, how many hours you’ve slept or how many calories you’ve 51 in a day.If so, you’ve 52 a movement called the “Quantified Self Movement.”Individuals gather information about their daily activities in this widespread movement, also called self-tracking. This may sound 53 , but technology is making the process easier.Perhaps you’ve wanted to 54 a bad habit and couldn’t. Self-tracking may be your answer. The idea is to take information about your everyday activities and analyze it to help get a 55 lifestyle.Recently, tools such as smartphones, journals and apps, along with newly 56 wearable gadgets(工具), are making self-tracking extremely easy. Today, one can use Fitbit, the Jawbone UP, Google Glass or a smart watch to 57 personal data including hours slept, stress levels, heart rate and mood.So why does a person self-track? Someone may be trying to lose weight or improve their sleep patterns. Another person feels tired after eating. Self-tracking could help him to 58 what foods make him sleepy and modify his diet accordingly.Monitoring daily activities isn’t a new concept. In years past, athletes and their coaches kept notes detailing nutrition, training and sleep patterns in order to achieve an athletic goal. 59 , doctors have also helped patients to document parts of their lifestyles and eating habits to help fight allergies, headaches and other health issues. 60 , it wasn’t until 2007 that Wired magazine editors Gary Wolf and Kim Kelly, who started tracking every move they made, coined the 61 “Quantified Self.”Although self-tracking has many advantages, Dennis Nash, president of Data Speaks Health Solutions, says self-tracking has its 62 . Once people start tracking their daily activities, it can become an addiction(癖好). Also, they might begin to worry too much about their health.While self-tracking doesn’t 63 that one’s quality of life will improve,it can highlight the importance of eating well and exercising daily. 64 , the Quantified Self Movement’s primary focus is 65 people to employ enough energy to make healthier choices.51.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)In the 1850s, a vast wilderness separated California from the eastern U.S. As a result, mail service to California was very slow.William Russell decided to change that. He and two partners selected a route from St. Joseph, Missouri, to Sacramento, California. Then they purchased 400 horses, hired workers and set up relay stations every 10 to 15 miles. Riders would change horses at these stations, and every 90 to 120 miles a new rider would take over.On April 3, 1860, their service, called the Pony Express, began. The mail deliveries reached California in about 10 days. The riders faced many risks from extreme weather, hostile Native Americans and riding accidents. But they lost only one delivery during the service’s one and a half years in operation.The Pony Express service ended in October 1861 after a telegraph line across the U.S. was completed. Yet the rider s’ courage and accomplishments still hold a place in legend.Today, you can visit an original Pony Express station. Called the Hollenberg Station, it is located near Hanover, Kansas. The station was originally a five-room building in which Gerat Hollenberg and his wife sold supplies and provided mealsfor people who were traveling to California and Oregon. The couple also rented out rooms and repaired wagons for tired travelers. While the Pony Express was in operation, riders changed horses at the station and obtained both food and shelter there.The station is now a historic landmark. For a few dollars, you can tour the site. In a nearby visitor center, there is also a small gift shop and a theater where you can see films about the station.66. Why, mainly, did William Russell and his partners start the new service?A. To make mail delivery somewhat safer.B. To expand mail delivery to other nations.C. To dramatically speed up mail delivery.D. To reduce the high cost of mail delivery.67. What does this article imply about the work that the delivery people did?A. It continued for decades.B. It was widely imitated.C. It made investors rich.D. It was quite dangerous.68. What do we learn about Gerat Hollenberg from this article?A. The various fees that he charged.B. The age at which he went into business.C. The type of business he ran.D. The expenses which he had to pay.69. What has the Hollenberg Station become since the 1860s?A. A center for research.B. A tourist attraction.C. A set for movies.D. A social club.(B)It’s always great to experience a new location in a unique way. For those brave travelers who enjoy testing exciting stunts, rides and thrills, the members and editors of provided a list of the best spots to get an adrenaline (肾上腺素) rush.70. Who provided the list of the spots in the article?A. The brave travelers who enjoy testing exciting stunts, rides and thrills.B. The travelers who like to travel around the world.C.

A sport name.C. A surf spot.D. A famous wave’s name.(C)Social networks have found a promising new source of advertising income: targeting users with ads for products they browsed online.The latest form of advertising, called “retargeting,”is expected to not only get more common, but increase worries over privacy.Most people are aware they are being watched online. They also know that the marketers who are tracking their movements are going to show them ads tailored to their interests.But many say it’s frightening when an ad for the product they eyed on one websitebegins popping up on Facebook. Analysts say these ads are only going to multiply because they are potentially very profitable for social networks under pressure from investors.With its new service called “Tailored Audiences,”marketers can reach consumers who have shown an interest in their brands, the company said.Retargeting is still a small part of the overall online advertising industry but it’s growing quickly because shoppers are clicking on the ads, according to emarketer analyst Debra Aho Williamson.Whether Twitter users will enjoy seeing these personalized ads or will be set apart by the more intrusive tracking remains to be seen.Twitter said it would disable the service for users who check the “Do Not Track”option in their browsers. Twitter users can also choose not to receive “promoted content”– advertising that appears in tweets and in trends on Twitter – by adjusting their privacy settings.But retargeted advertising may be a wake-up call for many users to how much of a data trail they leave that marketers can now follow back to their accounts.That’s just why the strategy is so effective – and why social networks are rolling out such ads, analysts say.People are much more likely to buy something they were already shopping for, said Larry Kim, founder of marketing firm WordStream.Internet giants such as Google and Yahoo have been tracking users across the Web to show them retargeted ads for years. It’s a more recent phenomenon on social networks.In retargeting, marketers use small text files called cookies. When users look at a particular item on a website, a cookie is placed on their browser. Marketers can then target FaceBook and Twitter users who recently visited their websites.No identifying information about users changes hands, FaceBook and Twitter say.“If you see an ad in your feed from a website you visited, the website doesn’t know it’s you specially seeing the ad, just a group of people who visited the website,”Williamson said, “…For some people, that is going to be a problem. For others it is going to be a benefit.”74. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Retargeting is helping social networks make advertising earnings.B. Retargeting is becoming more and more popular among young people.C. Retargeting plays a positive part in all the network users’ life.D. Retargeting ads are forcing Twitter users to leave the website.75. What does the phrase popping up in the fourth paragraph most probably mean?A. becoming popularB. appearing unexpectedlyC. attacking suddenlyD. tracking quickly76. What can be inferred from the passage?A. No identifying information about users changes hands.B. Retargeting is beneficial to a special group of people.C. The website you visited will keep your personal information for you.D. Whether retargeting is safe to network users is still unclear for sure.77. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. The Strategy of Network MarketingB. The Source of Advertising IncomeC. The Trend of Targeted AdvertisingD. The Difference between Internet GiantsSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.When it comes to blessing others, some people make noble plans that end up going nowhere. But that’s not the case with Delphine and Guillaume Gauvain. When they opened an orphanage for blind children in China, they planned to bless the kids. But they were willing to learn along the way.The French couple’s first step was moving from Canada to Hong Kong. Their first step toward serving orphans was adopting David, a Chinese boy with a birth defect (缺陷). Guillaume, a jazz pianist, first met David while playing at the boy’s foster home. As soon as David ran up to him, Guillaume was immediately hooked.In search of people they could help, the couple moved to Beijing in 2002. After some research, they discovered that blind children needed a large amount of special care. That’s why they started Bethel – a foster care program focusing on blind children. In December 2003 they rented a house and received their first three children. Because two of the children were autistic (孤独症) as well as blind, Delphine was overwhelmed at first. But she soon found ways to help the kids.As the Gauvains took in more children, dormitories and a school were built. In 2008, Bethel moved to a site on a farm. They later added special gardens that allowed the kids to help out.Since its founding, Bethel has opened a total of four foster care projects in China. Together, they make up the Love Is Blind part of Bethel’s efforts. They are run like family homes, full of hope and laughter. That’s why the children refer to Delphine and Guillaume as Faguo Mama and Faguo Baba.Don’t assume the staff is soft on the kids, though. They teach the kids how to perform daily routines independently. In addition, the kids have classes. Delphine boasts that all of Bethel’s kids are fluent in English before turning 18.The Gauvains and their three kids moved to the Philippines in 2012 after devoting 10 years to Bethel China. They still remain involved with Bethel’s leadership. And in their new location, they have opened a community center to help train people with work skills.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)78. Compared with those who make noble plans that end up going nowhere to bless others,the French couple’s difference is that ________________________________________________.79.

AMy son has poliomyelitis(小儿麻痹症)and he suffered from it a lot. When he was young, my wife and I took him to see so many doctors and got different kinds of treatments. But still, he couldn’t walk like a normal kid.So he was laughed at by his peers for his walking style. His tears burnt our eyes like sulphuric acid. Then, he became afraid of going to school. He wouldn’t go anymore.One night, my wife had a breakdown and shouted at him, “I tell you, my kid, you might be like this forever. You are a freak in other people’s eyes, and perhaps it would never change. But in my eyes, in your dad’s eyes, you are not a freak! You are not! Even if you are, we love you and we will love you forever!” My son spoke nothing for two days. He didn’t eat or sleep. We could read he was hurt. We hoped something wonderful would fall in our family. On the third morning, he struggled to walk to my car, with his school bag in his hand of course. He raised his head high and hugged me, saying “I want to go to school. Nothing will beat me.”You know, from then on, he was never afraid of being mocked or despised anymore. If he couldn’t avoid these looks, he chose to look at them in the eyes. Later, something nice really happened and my son went to MIT. When he was asked how he managed to bear the pressure, he said, “Because of my parents.”My dear fellows, if you care too much about how other people look at you or what their opinions are, you will never become what you want to be.21.

The boy owed his success to his parents and was grateful to them.24. From the passage we can say the boy is .A. confident and outgoingB. brave and hard-workingC. wise and easy-goingD. determined and braveBThe British MuseumDescription:The British Museum is a museum in London, which is one of the world’s greatest museums of human history and culture. Its collections, which number more than 13 million objects, are amongst the largest and most comprehensive in the world and originate from all continents, illustrating and documenting the story of human culture from its beginning to the present.The British Museum was established in 1753, largely based on the collections of the physician and scientist Sir Hans Sloane. The museum first opened to the public on 15 January 1759 in Montagu House in Bloomsbury, on the site of the current museum building. Its expansion over the following two and a half centuries was largely a result of an expanding British colonial footprint and has resulted in the creation of several branch institutions. Until 1997, when the British Library(previously centered on the Round Reading Room)moved to a new site, the British Museum housed both a national museum of antiquities and a national library in the same building. The museum is a non-departmental public body sponsored(赞助)by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. Since 2002 the director of the museum has been Neil MacGregor.Admission and opening hours:The museum is open every day from 10am to 6pm(Fridays 10am to 5:30pm)and itcharges no admission fee, except for loan exhibitions.How to get there:By train: 7:00-18:30 every day.By Underground: 8:00-18:30 every day.By bus: 7:30-18:30 every day.By coach: 7:00-19:30 every day.Nearest underground stations:Tottenham Court Road(500m)Holborn(500m)Russell Square(800m)25. When was the British Museum opened to the public for the first time?A. In 1753.B. In 1759.C. In 1997.D. In 2002.26. You are at the Museum at seven in the evening and you want to go back to Oxford. Whichmeans of transportation will you choose?A. By coach.B. By bus.C. By train.D. By underground.27. Which statement is TRUE according to the text?A. The British Museum has collected less than 13 million objects.B. The British Museum is open from 10 am to 6 pm every day.C. The British Museum is a great museum of human history and culture.D. The British Museum’s expansion in the past was not a result of an expanding Britishcolonial footprint.C“Where are we going, Dad?”, one of the hottest Chinese reality shows, has become a hit. Many famous stars brought their children to a strange village alone, and they had to spend 72 hours with their children there. The program fully showed us a modern version of the “how to be a good father”. As the young parents today are too busy to take care of their children, this new form of “Lost on the way” played by nanny Daddy and cute kids raised a lot of people’s emotional common feelings. Both the kids and their parents will find that their hearts are being drawn closer. But this kind of feeling has just proved that there is a big spiritual barrier between the modern parents and children.The TV shows l ike “Children are hard to support!”, “Where are we going, Dad?”, “hot moms” and “cute kids” are becoming more and more popular. All of these show the new parents’confusion in children’s education and the appeal for the balance between career and family.In real life, on the one hand, the young parents feel helpless because they are too busy toaccompany their children under the pressures of work and life; on the other hand, they continue to do so. The data collected by Hunan TV shows that nearly two-thirds of their audience are female, among whom 36% are aged from 25 to 34. We can imagine such a scene that one evening a young mother is watching the show with her young children, while her husband is still at work or trapped in socializing, or maybe is just playing computer games in the bedroom. The story of a child without the company of father is still going on. In fact, it is sometimes the same to mothers. In a modern family, it is often the old who take the responsibility of raising a child. The partic ipation of mother in the children’s education is also very low.It is just this kind of confusion where the parents have gone in the modern family education, and where the parents will guide their children to go that “Where are we going, Dad?” shows us. If a child wants to grow up healthily and safely into a modern citizen with independent personality and free spirit, it is very important for him or her to follow the parents who serve as their first teacher. Maybe this is the real reason why such kind of TV programs could get hot. The truth is that children will go where their parents go; and society will go where the children go.28. In raising a child in modern society, parents should _______.A. let their children go without caring anythingB. keep their children at home to avoid socializingC. balance well between family and careerD. break down the barrier between children and teachers29. Which of the following can be inferred in the passage?A. Parents shouldn’t entirely leave the educatio n of children to the old.B. 36% of the audience of the program are female aged from 25-34.C. The program shows us the confusion where the parents and children will go to play.D. In a modern family it is often mothers who are responsible for raising a child.30. The passage suggests young parents feel helpless in raising children mainly because_______.A. they have no professional knowledge for this fieldB. the old are free and forced to raise the grandchildren insteadC. their children feel isolated and lonely with themD. they are occupied with working and making a living31. What chief attitude towards modern family education does the author express in thepassage?A. Pessimistic.B. Worried.C. Optimistic.D. Indifferent.DSchool is much more than a place where students gather to learn. For children, school is their first opportunity for social development and introduction to people outside of their family unit. Lessons learned in school go beyond mathematics and language arts. Students learn to develop individual interests and find other people who share their interests.Music is one of the ways like-minded children come together. When many people talk about the benefits of music education, they’re quick to point out all of the numerous and measurable results of music education, many studies show the positive impact music programs can have on children in other areas of study.Dr. Laurel Trainor, a professor of psychology, at McMaster University, has said young children who take music lessons show different brain development and improved memory compared to children who do not receive musical training. Stanford University researchers have found that musical training improves how the brain processes the spoken word; a finding that researchers say could lead to improving the reading ability of children who have dyslexia and other reading problems.Furthermore, in an analysis of data on more than 25,000 secondary school students, researchers at the United States Department of Education found that students who report consistent involvement in instrumental music during middle school and high school perform significantly better in mathematics by Grade 12 than those who do not participate in music programs.There are many reasons why music education can help to make a child a better student, but there also are other benefits that go beyond the classroom environment.Being involved in music is also a social endeavor that can set the course for lifelong friends and help create social groups that last through school and beyond. Music education breeds familiarity during a school career, when going from class to class or from school to school every year can be nerve wracking and unfamiliar.32. What is the function of the first paragraph?A. To show school is the place for students to learn.B. To stress the importance of learning knowledge.C. To lead to the main topic of the passage.D. To explain what the author really thinks of.33. According to the researchers, we can know that ________.A. music lovers tend to use their brain in a wise wayB. music training can cure children of many diseasesC. learning music is beneficial to students’ performa nce in mathematicsD. senior students disliked attending music lessons34. What does the underlined word “dyslexia” mean?A. Having difficulty with reading.B. Receiving training for music.C. Gaining knowledge from learning.D. Losing the ability to read music.35. It can be concluded from the passage that ________.A. music can ensure you have a lot of close friendsB. changing schools is a bad experience for everyoneC. music does offer social and understanding benefitsD. few schools really focus on music education第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Like a border conflict between neighboring countries ,the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?Both sides want peace ,but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict . In part ,this is because neither is willing to admit .any responsibility for starting it . From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonableness. And ofcourse .the teens see it in exactly the same way , except oppositely . Both feel trapped In this article. I’ll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things . Examples include t he color of the teen’s hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom ,the preferred style of clothing , the child’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school ,or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends .Second ,blaming.The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong . Third , needing to be right ,It doesn’t matter what the topic is –politics. The taws of physics ,or the proper way to break an egg –the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong .for both wish to be considered an authority—someone who actually knows something —and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately , as long as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they kn ow more than the other ,they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress31. Why does the author compare the parent-teen war to a border conflict?A. Both can continue for generations .B. Both are about where to draw the lineC. Neither has any clear winnerD. Neither can be put to an end32. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?A. The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.B. The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflictC. The teens acouse their parents of misleading themD. The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents33.Parents and teens want to be right because they want to ________.A. give orders to the otherB. know more than the otherC. gain respect from the otherD.get the other to behave properly34. What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?A. Causes for the parent –teen conflictsB. Examples of the parent –teen war.C. Solutions for the parent –teen problemsD. Future of the parent-teen relationshipBI was being interviewed by a senior manager for a big company. I told him honestly that the principal reason that I was interviewing with them was my need to keep my family in Boston. My wife had recently died of a heart attack. A job in Boston would help me reduce some pain for my 16-year-old daughter and me. It was important to me to keep her present high school.Bruce, the interviewer, was politely kind, but he didn't search any further. He acknowledged(承认) my loss and, with great respect, moved on to another subject. After the next round of interviews, Bruce took me to lunch with another manager. Then he asked me to take a walk with him. He told me that he had lost his wife. And, like me, he had also been married 20 years and had 3 children. I realized that he had experienced the same pain as I had and it was almost impossible to explain to someone who had not lost a loved one. He offered his business card and home phone number and suggested that, should I need help or just want someone to talk to, I should feel free to give him a call. Whether I got the job or not, he wanted me to know that he was there if I ever needed help.From that one act of kindness, when he had no idea if we could ever see each other again, he helped our family deal with one of life's greatest losses. He turned the normally cold business interview process into an act of earing and supporting for another person in a time of extremeneed.35. According to the passage, the interviewer, Bruce, was very .A. generousB. kindC. happyD. mean36. The underlined word "principal" in the first paragraph probably means .A. mainB. unimportantC. necessaryD. possible37. We can infer from this passage that .A. the writer didn't get the job in the companyB. Bruce made the writer pass the interviewC. another manager also lost his wifeD. the business interview was cold38 Which of the following statement is NOT true?A. The writer's daughter was studying in Boston at that time.B. Both the writer and the interviewer experienced the same pain.C. Bruce was a senior manager of a big firm.D. Bruce wanted to make Mends with him because he gave him his business card and home phone number.CWhen I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of m y mother’s Chinese English. Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously , did not give her good service , pretended not to understand her , or even acted as if they did not hear her .My mother has realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she . I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人).I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing, ―This is Mrs. Tan..‖And my mother was standing beside me, whispering loudly, ―Why he don’t send me che ck already two week long?.‖And then, in perfect English I said : ―I’m getting rath er concerned .You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn’t arrived.‖Then she talked more loudly. ―What he want? I come to New York tell him front of his boss.‖ And so I turned to the stockbroker again, ―I can’t tolerate any more excuse. If I don’t receive the check immediately , I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.‖The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs. Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English.When I was a teenager, my mother’s broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mother’s English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world. 39.From Paragorph 2, we know that the author was .A. good at pretendingB. rude to the stockbrokerC. unwilling to phone for her motherD. ready to help her mother40.After the author made the phone call, .A. they forgave the stockbrokerB. they went to New York immediately C .they failed to get the check D. they spoke to their boss at once 41.What does the author think of her mother’s English now?A. It confuses her.B. It embarrasses her.C .It helps her tolerate rude people. D. It helps her understand the world. 42.We can inter from the passage that Chinese English .A. is clear and natural to non-native speakersB. is vivid and direct to non-native speakersC. may bring inconvenience in AmericaD. has a very bad reputation in AmericaDThat ―Monday morning feeling‖ could be a crushing pain in t he chest which leaves you sweating and gasping for breath. Recent research from Germany and Italy shows that heart attacks are more common on Monday mornings and doctors blame the stress of returning to work after the weekend break.The risk of having a heart attack on any given day should be one in seven, but a six-year study helped by researchers at the Free University of Berlin of more than 2,600 Germans showed that the average person had a 20 per cent higher chance of having a heart attack on a Monday than on any other day.Working Germans are particularly not protected against attack, with a 33 per cent higher risk at the beginning of the working week. Non-workers, by comparison, appear to be no more at risk on a Monday than any other day.A study of 11,000 Italians proved 8 am on a Monday morning as the most stressful time for the heart, and both studies showed that Sunday is the least stressful day, with fewer heart attacks in both countries.The findings could lead to a better understanding of what is the immediate cause of heart attacks, according to Dr Stefan Willich of the Free University. ―We know a lot about long-term risk factors such as smoking and cholesterol(胆固醇)but we don’t know what actually causes heart attacks, so we can’t give clear advice on how to prevent them,‖ he said.Monday mornings have a double helping of stress for the working body as it makes a rapid change from sleep to activity, and from the relaxing weekend to the pressures of work.―When people get up, their blood pressure and heart rate go up and there are hormonal(内分泌)changes in their bodies,‖ Willich explained. ―All these things can have an unfavourable effect in the blood system and increase the risk of a clot(血凝块)in the arteries(动脉)which will cause a heart attack.‖―When people return to work after a weekend off, the pace of their life changes. They have a higher workload, more stress, more anger and more physical activity,‖ said Willich.43.Monday morning feeling, as this passage shows, .A. is not so serious as people thoughtB. is harmful to working people in developed countries.C. is the first killer in Germany and Italy.D. is created by researchers in Germany and Italy44 To protect people from suffering from heart attack, doctors have paid much attention to .A. people’s working timeB. people’s living placeC. people’s diet and lifestyleD. people’s nationalities45.It can be learned from this passage that heart attack has nothing to do with .A. blood pressureB. heart rateC. hormonal changesD. blood group 46.If the researchers give us some advice to avoid Monday morning feeling, what might it be? A. Stop working on Monday B. Create a pleasant working environmentC. Get up late on Monday morningD. Go to work with a doctorEThe huge Florida wetland known as the Everglades is a slow-moving river 80 kilometres wide butonly a few centimeters deep. People call the Everglades a ―river of grass‖ because sawgrass covers most of it. Sawgrass is not really grass. It is a plant that has leaves edged with tiny sharp teeth that can easily cut through clothes—and skin!Travel in the Everglades is difficult. You cannot walk through shallow water because the sawgrass will cut you. The water is too shallow for regular boats. So, we use an airboat. An airboat is a flat, open boat. Like an airplane, it has a big propeller to move it. The propeller is fixed on the rear of the boat. It makes a tremendous noise, but it does the job. The boat skims along the water’s surface. Although we can still get lost in an airboat, at least we are above the alligators(短吻鳄).While hundreds of different kinds of animals live in the Everglades, the most famous is surely the alligator. Once endangered, alligators are now protected within Everglades National Park. Visitors are likely to see them both on land and in water.For a long time, dangers have threatened the Everglades. Around 1900, some people felt this precious wetland should be drained (排干). They said it was just a big swamp and not good for anything. In the 1920s, there was a land boom in Florida. People wanted to build homes everywhere, including in the Everglades. They built canals, levees (防洪堤) , and other water systems that stopped the rivers flowing into the Everglades. Factories were built near rivers that flowed into the wetland. These factories dumped poisonous waste that damaged the Everglades ecosystem.People are now working to preserve the Everglades National Park for the future. Right now, one big problem is the paperbark tree. This tree is an invader from Australia.Paperbark trees soak up a lot of water. In the early 1900s, people brought them to Florida because they thought they would help drain the Everglades. However, the invaders adapted too well. Paperbark trees have taken over hundreds of thousands of acres of the Everglades and killed other trees. Scientists are cutting down these invaders or spraying them with herbicides (除草剂) to kill them.47 Which helps to explain why it is difficult to travel in Everglades?A. Airboats may make a very big noise.B. You may get lost when passing through.C. Paperbark trees soak up too much water there.D. Many different kinds of animals are to be protected.48. Why do people use airboats instead of normal boats?A. They have big propellers to move them faster than alligators.B. The propeller makes loud noise so as to scare alligators.C. Their flat bottom can skim along the water surface.D. They can watch alligators without hurting them.49. The following measures were taken to drain the Everglades except that people______.A. built canals and levees to stop the rivers flowing into EvergladesB. built factories near rivers that flowed into the wetlandC. brought Paperbark to soak up water in EvergladesD. are cutting down these Paperbark trees50 The underlined word "invader" probably means something______.A. that moves in from another placeB. that enters and takes controlC. that has been brought inD. that is in danger第三部分书面表达(共两节,满分35分)第一节阅读表达(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15分)When traveling abroad, one must remember Dorothy's famous words that you're not in Kansas any more. There are many dangers that one can face in a new and different environment and thebest way to protect yourself is to be well aware of possible 'dangers before you depart.Here are a few tips to ensure a safe and pleasant trip.Read up on what the State Department has to say. The State Department does an excellent job of watching out for our safety and protecting ns in our travels by providing Travel Warnings (advising Americans to avoid certain countries), Public Announcements (postings of significant risks to the security of American travelers) and Consular Information. Sheets for every country in the world. Be sure to check in when planning your trip, and before you leave.Remember that you are a guest in a different country. Do your best to mix in with the locals by taking note of their talk and behavior. Buy or borrow a book from the library that teaches you about the local customs and beliefs.Try to stay in areas where there are lots of people and avoid wandering around new places where there is the possibility of getting lost 。

His accuracy, observed in 25 cases, has led the staff to call family members once he has chosen someone. It usually means the patient has less than four hours to live. “Many family members take so me comfort from it. They appreciate the companionship that the cat provides for their dying loved one,” said Dosa, a doctor and assistant professor of medicine at Brown University.The 2-year-old cat was adopted as a kitten and grew up in a third-floor dementia (痴呆) unit at the Steere House Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, where the facilitytreats people with Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s disease and other illnesses. After about six months, the staff noticed Oscar would make his own rounds, just like the doct ors and nurses. He’d smell and observe patients, then sit beside people who would end up dying in a few hours. Dosa said Oscar seems to take his work seriously.“Oscar is better at predicting death than the people who work here,” said Dr. Joan Teno of Brown University, who treats patients at the nursing home and is an expert on care for the terminally ill. She was convinced of Oscar’s talent when he made his 13th correct call. While observing one patient, Teno said she noticed the woman wasn’t eating, was breathing with difficulty and that her legs had a bluish color, signs that often mean death is near. Oscar wouldn’t stay inside the room, though, so Teno thought his streak was broken. Instead, it turned out the doctor’s prediction was roughly 10 hours too early. Sure enough, during the patient’s final two hours, nurses told Teno that Oscar joined the woman at her bedside.Doctors say most of the people who get a visit from the sweet-faced, gray-and-white cat are so ill that they probably don’t know he’s there, so patients aren’t aware he’s a predictor of death. Most families are grateful for the advance warning.No one’s certain if Oscar’s behavior is scientifically significant or points to a cause. Teno wonders if the cat senses mysterious scents or reads something from the behavior of the nurses who raised him.56. What makes Oscar the cat so special?A. He observes the cases of dying patients.B. He curls up next to the patients.C. He calls family members to the hospital.D. He senses when patients are to die.57. The underlined words “his streak was broken”probably mean ______.A. his bones were severely injuredB. his magic power stopped workingC. his devotion to work got changedD. his friendship with patients ended58. The best title for this passage is “______”.A. Cats Can Be Used for Looking After PatientsB. Oscar, the Sweet-Faced, Gray-and-White CatC. As Death Comes Calling, So Does Oscar the CatD. Oscar the Cat, the Best Helper of the HospitalBThere are probably no people on Earth who like to gossip as much as the British. If prying into (打探)other’s lives were an Olympic sport, then Team GB would surely take the gold medal.And when the British can’t watch the lives of real people, they have anoth er source of entertainment to fall back on—the soap opera. British soap operas are very different to US TV dramas. For one, they are normally longer running. The two most popular, Coronation Street and East-enders, have been running for 48 and 24 years respectively. Both are broadcast several times a week, so remarkably there have been more than 7,000 episodes of Coronation Street.The most obvious difference is that, unlike US dramas, the British soap operas focus on the real world. There is little glamour (魅力), the stars are rarely rich, and they normally have boring jobs. Perhaps the appeal is that the lives of the characters often mirror the lives of the audience—but with some drama added. This means the viewer can relate to the characters and feel the pain and happiness they go through on the show.Because these soap operas last for decades, the cast is ever changing. The shows rarely focus on one or two main characters. Like the real world, people come and go all the time, However, there are exceptions. Coronation Street’s William Roach, 76, has played the role of Ken Barlow since the very first episode of the show in 1960, and he is still a regular.The choice of which soap opera you follow is often cultural: People from the north of British tend to watch Coronation Street as it is set in Manchester. People from the south generally prefer East-enders, which is set in the east of London. The show is generally considered grittier and is aimed at a younger audience.59. What is the main different between American dramas and British soap operas?A. American dramas are longer.B. British soap operas are longer.C. American dramas deals with dangerous things.D. British soap operas deal with real people.60. Why do British people like to watch such operas?A. They can find their own life from the operas.B. They can enjoy the operas in their free time.C. They can watch the operas for many years.D. They care about the fate of the characters in the operas.61. The underlined world “episodes” in the 2nd paragraph probably means ______.A. playsB. pagesC. issuesD. parts62. One characteristic of British operas is that ______.A. the characters play the same role for a long time.B. the characters in the play often changeC. peopl e don’t know what will happen nextD. there is only one or two characters in themCWant to stay away from colds? Put on a happy face.Compared to unhappy people, those who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer from colds, according to a new study. It’s possible that being happy helps the body fight illnesses, say the researchers from New York University.“It seems that positive feelings may reduce the danger of illness,” said the study’s chief researcher Sheldon Cohen.In an earlier study, Cohen found that people who were cheerful and lively caught coughs and colds less often. People who showed feelings were also less likely to tell their doctors that they felt ill.In this study, Cohen’s interviewed 193 adults every day for two weeks. Durin g the interviews, the people were given colds by doctors and had to stay alone in a room for six days.The results showed that everyone in the study was equally(相等地) likely to get ill. But for people who said they felt happy during the research period, their illnesses are less serious and lasted for a shorter time.Cohen believes that when people experience positive feelings, their body may produce a chemical that helps fight illness and disease. So if you are worried abut your health, look on the bright side more often.63. Which of the following was NOT a part of the study?A. People talked about their feelings every day.B. People were kept alone for six days.C. People were given colds by doctors.D. People were made to feel unhappy.64. What did the study find?A. People who felt happy never got ill.B. People’s feelings didn’t influence their health.C. People with good feelings became ill more easily.D. People with positive feelings had less serious illnesses..65. According to Cohen, which of the following may help fight illnesses?A. Eating.B. Crying.C. Laughing.D. Sleeping.66. This passage is a/an .A. advertisementB. newspaper reportC. storyD. scientist’s diaryDMr. Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water. Mr. Johnson took the only escape route—through the boot (行李箱).Mr. Johnson’s car had finished up in a ditch (沟渠) at Romney Marsin, Kent after skidding on ice and hitting a bank. “Fortunately, the water began to come in only slowly,” Mr. Johnson said, “I couldn’t force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in.”Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape.Later he said, “It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew(拧开…的螺丝) the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came.”It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench(扳钳) and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by. “It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in. I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled (mo ve with difficulty) as the car filled up.”His hands and arms were cut and bruised (擦伤). Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was looked after by the farmer’s wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates. Huddled in a blanket, he said, “The thirty minutes seemed like hours.” Only the tips of the car wheels were visible(can be seen), police said last night. The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch.67. What is the best title for this newspaper article?A.The Story of Mr. Johnson, A Sweet SalesmanB.Car Boot Serve As The Best Escape RouteC.Driver Escaped Through Car BootD.The Driver Survived A Terrible Car Accident68. Which of the following objects is the most important to Mr. Johnson?A. The hammer.B. The coin.C. The screw.D. The horn.69. “Finally it gave”(Paragraph 5) means that _______________.A. luckily the door was torn away in the endB. at last the wrench went brokenC. the lock came open after all his effortsD. the chance was lost at the last minute70. It may be inferred from the passage that _________________.A. the ditch was along a quiet country roadB. the accident happened on a rainy cold dayC. Mr. Johnson’s car stood on its boot as it fell downD. the police helped Mr. Johnson get out of the ditchEA job is more than a job,especially to the old. “It’s not the money that matters,but the sense of self-worth.”56-year-old Cbeng Wonlan said. So,every day Ms Cheng carries a bag of parcels,letters and documents and does her rounds in North Point. She’s a courier(快递员)Five years ago, Ms Cheng was a nurse at a private clinic. She had worked there for 30 years but was jobless when the doctor migrated(移居). It was difficult for her to find another job as a nurse. “People do not trust my abil ity when they learn how old I am,”she said. After two years of searching, she eventually found another nursing job. But then after two years,she quit. Why?“My colleagues didn’t understand me because of my age. They often asked me ‘You are so old. What are you working for?’ I was very unhappy” She said. So while the rest of her family left for work,she was left to lonely boredom at home .Then her neighbours told her about Employee’s Retraining Board(ERB)offering retraining courses for older people. These courses are specifically designed to encourage older people back to work..“I was interested in courier work.. I didn’t think my age was a barrier because I was fit.” She said .Upon graduating,Ms Cheng was offered a job by the Speeding Shuttle Courier Service Company. But then Ms Cheng was faced with a conflict:she was caught between honour and employment“I felt embarrassed about carrying and delivering letters and parcels.”she said. It took Ms Cheng 24 hours to make up her mind:there was nothing wrong or embarrassing about doing the job. So she went off to work as a courier.Ms Cheng’s employer is delighted with her responsible atti tude and said.“I hired older people because they were able and reliable .Age is not an important factor but attitude is. Many old people will not run from difficulties but the young ones will.”71. Why was it difficult for Ms Cheng to find another nursing Job?A. Nursing clinics were hard to findB. She found it difficult to trust othersC. People thought she was too old to workD. People didn’t think she had enough work experience72. Ms Cheng left her second nursing job because_____.A. she was bored with changeless jobsB. it was too difficultC. she was too old to do the jobD. the other staff made her feel uncomfortable73. Employee’s Retraining Board is a plan for______ .A. finding partners for older peopleB. teaching new skills to older people for them to work again.C. training older people to be healthierD. providing older people with well-paid jobs.74. We can infer from the last sentence that young people______.A. are more likely to give up than the older onesB. are less experienced than the older onesC. are stronger than the older onesD. are able and reliable75.

At the very least, I wish I could 42 it somehow — 43 it on youth, inexperience or ignorance. Unfortunately, I’m 44 , experienced and I know better.45 I work with some very kind people. For the past couple of days many of them have taken time to 46 by my desk and offer comfort, encouragement and support. Some have shared with me similar 47 they have made. Evidently I’m not the only “ 48 ” person here.One of the exchanges I had this week was with Lois, the much-honored, much-respected professional who 49 the desk right next to mine. Lois was completely 50 about her work, and to be honest I was a little 51 about how she would 52 _to such an extremely embarrassing incident.As I expected, Lois mentioned the 53 when she saw me the next day.

Pretty soon, they could be making your bed and breakfast too.Increasingly, engineers are saying that robots are going to move out of research departments and into your home. Companies including General Electric are working on designs for small ro bots. Products like the Roomba, a robot that can clean floors,are flying off the shelves.What’s behind this new robot revolution? It’s partly a matter of technology. Devices that can recognize and respond to a human voice have been developed. Thereare now a few different ways for robots to move around. They can walk, crawl or rideon wheels. Robots are being made smaller and smaller. They are also becoming moreand more able.A bigger part of the story is on the demand side. From the day the television remote control was invented, people around the world have searched for new ways tobe lazy. Take into consideration that more and more people can afford robots, andthe time seems ripe to introduce robots to the ordinary family.To be sure, robots that walk on two legs and talk like people are still a long way off. However, robots that do basic housework such as cleaning or gardening are sure to come out soon. One thing is certain—when these robots do come into our homes,it will change things forever.61. The underlined p art “flying off the shelves” in the second paragraph means________.A. Selling well.B. Cleaning the shelves smartly.C. Flying freelyD. Dropping onto the floor62.Which plays a more important role in revolutionizing the robot?A. Science and technology.B. Rapid development of companies.C. Effective marketing means.D. Great demand from the buyers.63. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Robots have already come into every home.B. Technology is the only basis of the development of robots.C. General Electric is not interested in designing small robots.D. Robots that can walk on two legs and talk like people are still far from us.BHere’s this week’s list of four open jobs throughout the local area.

But three graduate students at BrownUniversity in Providence built a company around sleep deprivation(睡眠不足).Jason Donahue, Ben Rubin and Eric Shashoua were working late nights in Brown’sbusiness and engineering schools. They began thinking about ways to sleep better.They discovered they weren’t alone in burning the midnight oil. Around 20% ofAmericans get less than six hours of rest a night.The friends imagined a smart alarm clock that could track how much time peoplespend in the most restorative(有恢复作用的) stages of the sleep cycle: REM (rapideye movement) and deep sleep. What would it cost to design such a thing? Five yearsof research, 20 employees, $14 million and a whole lot of doubting from investorsand scientists.Their company, Zeo, based in Newton, Mass, launched its product in June, 2009.The Zeo device uses a headband with tiny sensors(传感器) that scan your brain forsigns of four sleep states-REM, light, deep and waking sleep. The smart alarm clockdisplays a graph of your sleep pattern and wakes you as you’re not in REM sleep.In the morning you can upload the data to the company’s Web site, and so track yoursleep over time. Most of the feedback(反馈) comes in the form of Zeo’s ZQ score showinghow well you’v e slept.“Zeo allows people to unlock this black box of sleep,” says Dave Dickinson, a health-care CEO.Whether any of this actually improves sleep is up to the consumer, who will also need to make lifestyle changes like cutting out alcohol before bedtime or caffeine after 3 P.M.For now the company is sel ling Zeo online only. Dickinson also plans to spread it to countries such as Australia, where sleep deprivation approaches US levels.68. Who will support Zeo?A. People full of imagination.B. People suffering sleeping problems.C. People having access to the Internet.D. People havingbad lifestyles.69. Why did the three graduate students imagine a smart alarm clock?A. To wake them up on time in the morning.B. To earn enough money for their study.C. To improve the quality of peo ple’s sleep.D. To enjoy their life while working at night.70. To design the Zeo device, the three graduate students ____.A. spent much time and moneyB. were widely supported by scientistsC. worked by themselves all the timeD. attracted many investors71. What c an we know from the passage?A. Zeo has a direct effect on users’ lifestyles.B. It needs more personal efforts to make Zeo function better.C. A large quantity of Zeo devices have been sold in Australia.D. Consumers can go to the Zeo company to purchase Zeo in person.DSome people seem easy to understand: their character appears obvious on first meeting. Appearances, however, can be deceptive. I shrug my shoulders when people tell me that their first impressions of a person are always right. For my own part I find that the longer I know people, the more they puzzle me.I read in this morning’s paper that Edward Hyde Burton had died. He was a businessman and he had been in business in Japan for many years. Once he gave me a great surprise. Unless I had heard the story from his own lips, I’d never have believed that he was capable of such an action. He was always neatly and quietly dressed in accordance with his age and position. He didn’t talk much, but what he said was sensible. You couldn’t imagine he’d possibly raise his voice in anger. Here was a man who attracted you because you felt in him a real love for his fellows. He’d tell with point a good and sp icy story, and in his youth he’d been something of an athlete. He was a rich man and he’d made every penny himself. I suppose one thing that made you like him was that he was so weak; he aroused your instincts(本能) of protection. You felt he couldn’t bear t o hurt a fly.One afternoon Burton told me a “funny” story in a quiet, dry humour:“There was a namesake(同名人) of mine, who was the best bridge player I ever met. He seemed to have a fantastic instinct about the cards. He won a good deal of my money by card-playing.”“One day he came to me when he lost all his fortune. He came to see me in my office and asked me for a job. I asked him how old he was.”“ ‘Thirty-five’, he said.”“ ‘And what have you been doing ever since ?’ I asked him.”“ ‘Well, nothing very much.’ he said.”“ ‘I’m afraid I can’t do anything for you just yet’ I said. ‘Come back and see me in another thirty-five years, and I’ll see what I can do.’ ”“He didn’t move. He went rather pale. He hesitated for a moment and then he told me that he had had bad luck at cards for some time. He lost everything he had. He hadn’t a penny. He was down and out. If he couldn’t get something to do he’d not survive.”“I looked at him for a bit. I could see now that he was all to pieces. He’d been drinking more than usual and he looked fifty.”“Suddenly I had an idea.” Pausing in his story, Burton turned to me. “When I was young I swam over three miles round the beacon(灯塔) and landed at the riverof Tarumi. It’s rather difficult on account of the currents r ound the beacon. Well, I told my young fellow about it and I said that if he’d do it I’d give him a job.”“I could see he was rather surprised. He was not in good condition for sports. He looked at me for a moment and then he nodded.”“I told him I’d drive round to the river at half past twelve and meet him.”“ ‘Done,’ he said.”“I wished him good luck and he left me. I had a lot of work to do that morning and I only just managed to get to the river Tarumi at half past twelve. But I needn’t have hurried; h e never turned up.”“Did he fear it at the last moment?” I asked.“No, he didn’t fear it. He started all right. But of course he’d ruined his constitution(体质) by drink. The currents round the beacon were more than he could manage. We didn’t get the body for about three days.”I didn’t say anything for a moment or two. I was rather shocked. Then I asked.“When you made him that offer of a job, did you know he’d be drowned?”He looked at me with his kind blue eyes, smiling. “Well, I hadn’t got a position in my office at the moment.”72. The underlined word “deceptive” may mean .A. puzzlingB. misleadingC. complexD. impressive73. For some time, Edward Burton impressed the author most with his .A. age and positionB. wealth and abilityC. sensibility and humorD. kindness and weakness74. We can infer from Burton’s story that his namesake .A. never saw through his trickB. annoyed him by playing cardsC. could not do any job wellD. intended to cheat him with a lie75. We learned from the story that Edward Burton .A. knew the young man would kill himselfB. arranged the end of his namesake’s lifeC. did much for the poor fellowmanD. killed his card-friend by mistake76. Edward Burton could be described as a(n) person.A. innocentB. smartC. carelessD. cruel2016秋高二英语阅读训练841-45 CDBBA 46-50 BDCDB 51-55 AAACD 56-60 CDBAC 61-63 ADD 64-67 BCCA 68-71 BCAB 72-76 BDABD。

APeople fell in love with Elizabeth Taylor in 1944, when she starred in National Velvet—the story of Velvet Brown, a young girl who wins the first place in a famous horse race. At first, the producers of the movie told Taylor that she was too small to play the part of Velvet. However, they waited for her for a few months as she exercised and trained—and added three inches to her height in four months! Her acting in National Velvet is still considered the best by a child actress.Elizabeth Taylor was born in London, four years after her parents, both Americans, had moved there for business reasons in 1928. When World War II started, the Taylor moved to Beverly Hills, California, and there Elizabeth started acting in movies. After her success as a child star, Taylor hadno trouble moving into adult roles and won twice for Best Actress: Butterfield(1960) and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf ? (1966)Taylor’s fame(名声)and popularity gave her a lot of power with the movie industry, so she was able to demand very high pay for her movies. In 1963, she received $1 million for her part in Cleopatra—the highest pay received by any star up to that time.Elizabeth Taylor is a legend (传奇人物) of our time. Like Velvet Brown in National Velvet, she has been lucky, she has beauty, fame and wealth. But she is also a hard worker. Taylor seldom acts in movies any more. Instead, she puts her time and efforts into her businesses, and into helping others—several years ago, she founded an organization that has raised more than $40 million for research and education.21. The producers didn’t let Taylor play the part of Velvet at first because they thought she ____.A. was too youngB. was small in sizeC. did not play well enoughD. did not show much interest22. What Elizabeth Taylor and Velvet Brown had in common was that they were both _____.A. popular all their livesB. famous actressesC. rich and kind-heartedD. successful when very young23. Taylor became Best Actress at the age of .A. 12B. 28C. 32D. 3424. In her later life, Elizabeth Taylor devoted herself to .A. turning herself into a legendB. collecting money for the poorC. doing business and helping othersD. do research and education workBWhen it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my happiness, who possess wings of their own and who will fly with me. I seek friends whose qualities illuminate(照亮)me and train me up for love. It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours, too good not to share.When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say: “Let’s start with a train whistle today.” We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we, too, were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped.When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend. He was in despair (失望) and I was in despair. But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other.For almost four years I have had a remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine. We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other’s dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind. In my most interesting moments, I often think: “Yes, I must tell….”We have never met.It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist(心理学家),who will only fill up the healing (愈合的)silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own bestfriend.25. In the eighth grade, what the author did before developing proper social behavior was to ____.A. become serious about her studyB. go to her friend’s house regularlyC. learn from her classmates at schoolD. share poems and stories with her friend26.

According to Paragraph 4, the author and her friend _______.A. call each other regularlyB. have similar personalitiesC. enjoy writing to each otherD. dream of meeting each other28. What is the best title for the passage?A. Unforgettable ExperiencesB. Remarkable ImaginationC. Lifelong FriendshipD. Noble CompanionsCGeneral Airport TipsPlan to get to the airport at least an hour early, or two during holidays and other busy times; this will reduce the stress of the flight.If all goes well, you will have time to relax, shop for last-minute items, or have a meal before the flight.Flight DelaysFind out why your flight is delayed.Call the free call numbers.Find out if other airlines are experiencing similar delays.If you believe the delay is due to something other than weather or air traffic problems, then mention your suspicion (怀疑)and ask the airline agent to book you on the next available flight, either on the same air-line or a competing one.This is called "Rule 240", and all airlines are required to do it.Use the lingo (行话); ask, "Can you 240 me?" when speaking with an agent.They will know what you mean.Flight Cancellations(取消)If your flight is canceled, then make a reservation on the next flight to your destination.Usually, air-line officials will try to book everyone on their next flight out.Often they will put you on a competitor's next flight only if you request it.Getting bumped(不能登机)To avoid getting bumped, you must be at the loading gate at least 10 minutes ahead of scheduled departure for a U.S. Flight, 20 minutes to /from Bahamas, Canada, and Mexico and 30 to/ from all other international points.You must be at the loading gate, not the airport entrance.29.By arriving at the airport earlier, one can _______.A. get on the airplane immediatelyB. reduce the pressure of the flightC. have a good rest in the airplaneD. buy what he wants in the airport30.If a person calls "Rule 240", he wants to _______.A. make sure the time for the next planeB. get a ticket for the next flightC. know if other flights are also delayedD. ask about the cause of the plane delay31.People heading for Germany must be at the loading gate at least__________.A.40 minutes ahead of timeB.20 minutes ahead of timeC.30 minutes ahead of timeD.10 minutes ahead of time32.The purpose in writing this text is to________.A. show us how to get on a planeB. tell us what to do before and after a flightC. put forward suggestions for a flightD. give us advice on dealing with airlinesDA month went by in this manner, but a month was all I could bear.The memory of Marguerite accompanied me wherever I went. I had loved that woman — still loved her — too much for her suddenly to mean nothing to me. Whatever feelings I might have for her now, I had to see her again. At once.…I knew Marguerite. Meeting me so unexpectedly must have thrown her into a state of great confusion. Probably, she had heard of my departure which had set her mind at rest as to the consequences of our sudden parting. But, seeing me back and coming face to face with me, weak as I was, she had sensed that my return had a purpose, and must have wondered what was going to happen.If, when I saw her again, Marguerite had been unhappy; if, in taking my revenge (复仇), there had also been some way of helping her then I might well have forgiven her, and would certainly never have dreamed of doing her any harm. But when I saw her again, she was happy, at least on the surface. Another man had ensured her the wealthy life in which I had been unable to keep her. She brought shame both to my pride and my love; she was going to have to pay for what I had suffered.I could not remain cold to what she did now. It followed that the thing that would hurt her most would be exactly for me to show coldness. Coldness, therefore, was the feeling which I now needed to pretend, not only in her presence but in the eyes of others.I tried to put a smile on my face, and I went to call on Prudence with whom Marguerite was staying.…Prudence saw me to the door, and I returned to my apartment with tears of anger in my eyes and thirst for revenge in my heart and thought only of finding a way to make the poor creature suffer.33. This passage is most probably ______ of a love story.A. the beginningB. a chapterC. a summaryD. the introduction34. What kind of feelings did the hero most probably have?A. Coldness and love.B. Coldness and hate.C. Love and hate.D. Hate and sadness.35. What would the author most probably write about next?A. Why he changed his mind suddenly.B. How he made Marguerite suffer.C. How he made up his relationship with Marguerite.D. Why he wanted Marguerite to pay for what he had suffered.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
