AWhen Julie Jones and Caroline Atkin were schoolgirls, they promised to be best friends for ever. Years later, Caroline died from a brain tumor at the age of 45, leaving five children. In her last weeks, she asked Julie to raise the children as her own. Julie, a single mother of three with a small income, didn’t hesitate.“I held her in my arms and said ‘You’ll be OK’, but I knew I was losing her.” She says.“The hospital rang me and I rushed there, but Caroline had just gone,” she says. “I went to her house. The children arrived home from school in a taxi and I gathered them in my arms and said: ‘Mommy has gone to Heaven.’”“Michael, who was 11, left the room. Kieran, ten, sat in great surprise; James, nine, broke down; while Emma, seven, and Chantelle, five uneasy. I brought them home.”Julie, mother of Adam, 20, Peter, 19, and 14-year-old Christian, moved the table from her dining room to turn it into an extra bedroom for the girls.She says “I put a tent up in the garden, and the children took turns to camp outside. We turned into a game. The children were terribly hurt by losing both their parents. But now, despite our lack of space and money, we have become one happy family.” The table in the kitchen is so small that Julie had to cook Christmas dinner in two sittings. Her eldest son has left for university and his bedroom is used by the younger boys.Julie had to work 50 hours a week and runs the home on her salary.“The children aren’t quiet anymore. The house is filled with screams and shouts and laughter.” she says. “They say ‘Julie, you make us so happy,’ but the truth is that they’re the ones who make me happy. I’m not extraordinary. I’m just a mum.”21. What can we know about Julie from the text?A. She had lived a rich life before the adoption.B. She promised to adopt Caroline’s children as a schoolgirl.C.

Find your favorite and put onyour travel list.Washington, DCAttraction: History in the makingFrom the Washington Monument and John F. Kennedy Center all the way to Capitol Hill,the vigor (活力) of the US’ capital city is just as strong as in real life as it is in House of Cards.The year 2015 marks the 150th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s famous assassination (暗杀), and a series of special events will be held to remember the occasion. Lincoln’s famous top hat, the gun that fired the deadly shot, and other things from that fateful day will be on display. Milan, ItalyAttraction: A cradle of fine dining and cultureIf you are a gastronome (美食家), don’t miss Milan in 2015. Expo 2015 will be held between May and October, and the focus is on food.The 1.1-square-kilometer grounds will be laid out like a classical Roman city, withbeautiful streets, a canal and a huge lake. You can explore the food district, wander a squarefull of street musicians and dance performers, or enjoy nighttime wine-tasting.Salisbury, UKAttraction: The Magna Carta’s 800th anniversaryFor too long Salisbury has been considered a short stop on the way to Stonehenge. But 2015 is set to be the year visitors stay in this city as it marks the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta, which limited royal power and established the rights of common people. The highlightfor the celebrations will be Salisbury Cathedral, whose Chapter House holds the Magna Carta.A brand new exhibition will open in the Chapter House, alongside many talks and a flower festival.25.

See the original copy of the Magna Carta.CHappy birthday! Do birthdays really make people happy? Of course they do. Birthdays celebrate the day we were born. Besides, that extra candle on the cake suggests another year of growth and maturity—or so we hope. We all like to imagine that we’re getting wiser and not just older. Most of us enjoy seeing the miracle of growth in others, as well. For instance, seeing our children develop and learn new things makes us feel proud. For Americans, like people in most cultures, growing up is a wonderful process. But growing old? That’s a different story.Growing old is not exactly pleasant for people in youth-oriented American culture. Most Americans like to look young, act young and feel young. As the old saying goes, “You’re as young as you feel.” Older people joke about how many years young they are, rather than how many years old. People in some countries value the aged as a source of experience and wisdom. But Americans seem to favor those that are young, or at least “young at heart”.Many older Americans find the “golden years” to be anything but golden. Economically, “senior citizens” often struggle just to get by. Retirement at age 65 brings a sharp decrease inpersonal income. Social security benefits usually cannot make up the difference. Older people may suffer from poor nutrition, medical care and housing. Some even experience age discrimination (歧视). In 1987, American sociologist Pat Moore dressed up like an older person and wandered city streets. She was often treated rudel y—even cheated and robbed. However, dressed as a young person, she received much more respect.Unfortunately, the elderly population in America is increasing fast. Why? People are living together. Fewer babies are being born. And middle-aged “baby bo om ers” are rapidly entering the groups of the elderly. America may soon be a place where wrinkles (皱纹) are “in”. Marketing experts are already noticing this group of consumers (消费者).28. The main idea of the third paragraph is________.A. the golden years can make the old earn lots of moneyB. many old people in America are leading a hard lifeC. the old in America have to retire at the age of 65D. American social security benefits are not good29. From the last paragraph we know that the underlined word “in” can be replaced by________.A. seriousB. badC. disappearing slowlyD. growing fast30. From this passage we can know________.A. in America, growing up is not a wonderful processB. in America, growing up is as wonderful a process as growing oldC. in America, growing up is a wonderful process, while growing old is notD. in America, growing old is a wonderful process, while growing up is not31. What should be mentioned in the following paragraph?A. The public will change their attitude towards old people.B. People will provide more services to the old in their communities.C. Companies will soon produce more goods for old Americans.D. The government will pass laws to ensure the benefits of the people.DTo many web-building spiders, most of whom are nearly blind, theweb is their essential window on the world: their means of communicating,capturing prey (猎物), meeting mates and protecting themselves. Aweb-building spider without its web is like a man cast away on an island ofsolid rock, totally out of touch and destined to starve to death.So important is the web to an orb-web spider’s survival that the animal will continue to construct new webs daily even if it is being starved. For 16 days the starving spider builds completely normal webs. Then, as the animal gets scrawnier (憔悴的), it constructs a wider-meshed web using fewer strands (线). Such webs would only trap larger prey, which is more economical from the perspective of a starving spider.The spider stores energy by recycling web protein. It simply eats its own web each evening and re-uses it to produce new silk. In studies with radioactively labeled materials, it was found that 95 percent of web protein reappears in the next day’s web. Most of the energy needed for web-building is used in walking over the strands as they are laid down.Scientists are impressed by the adaptability（适应能力）of the spider’s highly preprogrammed brain, which is larger for its size than the brain of any other invertebrate (无脊椎动物). If web-building is interrupted, or if some of the existing strands are destroyed, the spidersimply goes back to see where the web is left off and then finished building a normal web. One spider will even finish building the incomplete web of another.32. What is probably the best title for the passage?A. Secrets of Spiders’ AdaptabilityB. Importance of Webs to SpidersC. Secrets of the Spiders’ LifeD. Spider s’ Highly Preprogrammed Brain33. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Web-building spiders have good eyesight.B. One web-building spider usually conducts one web.C. Most spiders will stop conducting webs when hungry.D. Web-building spiders will probably die without their webs.34.

A spider’s ability to finish an incomplete web proves that _______.A. it has a highly preprogrammed brainB. it reuses its web protein to reproduce new silkC. the web is everything for a spiderD. it is able to rebuild a destroyed web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能填入空白处的最佳选项。
