Many years ago, when I was in high school and working weekends to pay for the extras that my folks couldn’t really af ford, I lost my wallet.
My old car needed putting gas in the back. I prepaid and then put my wallet on the bumper(保险杆), and drove off . I hadn’t even had time to miss it when our phone rang and a man asked me if I had lost my wallet. I checked my wallet a nd to my surprise, I didn’t find it. He asked me to tell him how much money was in it. He then told me where to pick up my wallet.
As I pulled into his driveway, I noticed his handicapped van(残疾人车)and the ramp(斜坡)going up to the house I was thinking that there was no way this man easily got out of his van and got my wallet off the street. He had to pull over, get in his wheelchair, lower the lift, and then pick it up. I was just surprised. I felt grateful.
I knocked on the door and he told me to come in. I thanked him like 10 times for finding my wallet. I was stuck, though. I didn’t want to insult him by offering money, I really felt like offering something. So I asked him if there was anything I could do to repay his kindness, and he said “Just pass it on”. I said I would be certain to do that. I was raised to be honest in any circumstance(状况) and I would have done so, without promising this fellow I would, but I wanted to repay his kindness, so I willingly promised I would.

Do you drink water that's been left sitting out overnight or even for another day? Have you noticed it tastes different?
Tap water that has been left to sit out slowly begins to acquire(获得) off taste. Many people think that this is because of microorganisms. But that's not what makes old water taste not fresh. For that we can thank carbon dioxide. After about 12 hours, tap water starts to go flat as carbon dioxide in the air starts to mix with the water in the glass, lowering its pH and giving it an off taste. But it's most likely safe to drink.
However, back to those microorganisms. If you use a dirty glass day after day, there is more of a chance of bacteria making themselves known; a risk that increases if you share the glass with another mouth as well. But assuming(假设) you use a fresh glass every few days, you probably won't have a problem unless the glass has been touched by dirty fingers, and especially if those dirty fingers went unwashed after using the bathroom.
As for plastic water bottles that have been left out in the sun or in the car, step away from the bottle, warns Dr. Kellogg Schwab, director of the Johns Hopkins University Water Institute. "A chemical called bisphenol-A, or BPA, alon g with other things used to make plastic can leach(过滤) into your water if the bottle heats up or sits in the sun," he explains. BPA, as you probably know, has been linked to everything from heart disease to cancer. Schwab also adds that plastic used for commercial bottled water isn't meant to be washed or refilled, so use only one time and recycle. Or don't buy them at all; use refillable water bottles instead.
24. Tap water begin to acquire an off taste because of______ .
A. carbon dioxide
B. BPA
C. the glass
D. the microorganism
25. According to Paragragh 2, tap water that's been left sitting out for 12 hours____.
A. contains few microorganisms
B. tastes better
C. is still safe to drink
D. is most likely undrinkable
26. What should we do with plastic water bottles that have been left out in the sun or in the car?
A. Refill them with fresh water
B. Clean them and use them again.
C. Use them after they cool down. .
D. Throw them away.
27. Which of the following is true about BPA?
A. It is safe for people to use.
B. It is a kind of new material.
C. It can cause great harm to people.
D. It is the main material to make plastic.
C
It is widely known that any English conversation begins with The Weather. Such a fixation with the we ather finds expression in Dr. Johnson’s famous comment that “When two English meet, their first talk is of weather.” Though Johnson’s observation is as accurate now as it was over two hundred years ago, most commentators(评论员) fail to come up with a convincing explanation for this English weather-speak.
Bill Bryson, for example, concludes that, as the English weather is not at all exciting,
striking thing about the Engli sh weather is that there is not very much of it.” Simply, the reason is that the unusual and unpredictable weather is almost unknown in the British Isles.
Jeremy Paxman, however, disagrees with Bryson, arguing that the English weather is by nature attracti ve. Bryson is wrong, he says, “because the English preference for the weather has nothing to do with the natural phenomena(现象).” The interest is less in the phenomena themselves, but in uncertainty.” According to him, the weather in England is very changeable and uncertain and it attracts the English as well as the outsider.
Bryson and Paxman stand for common misconceptions about the weather-speak among the English. Both commentators, somehow, are missing the point. The English weather
conversation is not really about the weather at all. English weather-speak is a system of signs, which is developed to help the speakers overcome the natural reserve and actually talk to each other. Everyone knows conversations starting with weather-speak are not requests for weather data. Rather, they are routine greetings, conversation starters or the blank “fillers”, In other words, English weather-speak is a means of social bonding.
28. The author mentions Dr. Johnson’s comment to show that________.
A. most commentators agree with Dr. Jo hnson
B. English conversations usually start with the weather
C. the comment was accurate two hundred years ago
D. Dr. Johnson is famous for his weather observation
29. What does the underlined word “obsession” most probably refer to?
A. A social trend.
B. An unknown phenomenon.
C.A historical concept.
D. An emotional state.
30. According to the passage, Jeremy Paxman believes that________.
A. Bill Bryson has little knowledge of the weather
B. there is nothing special about the English weather]
C. English people talk about the weather for its uncertainty
D. the English weather attracts people to the British Isle s
31. What is the author’s main purpose of writing the passage?
A. To explain what English weather-speak is about.
B. To analyze misconceptions about the English weather.
C. To find fault with both Bill Bryson and Jeremy Paxman.
D. To convince people that the English weather is changeable.

Many sports players have not only achieved incredible acts of athleticism(运动能力), but also unbelievable acts of sportsmanship. There were some 41 examples in 2014, and I have 42 two that inspired me.
One example of sportsmanship took place in the Sochi Olympics. Russian Anton Gafarov was hobbling(蹒跚而行) along the track, far 43 the rest of the skiers. One of his skis(滑雪板) was broken. He had tried to 44 with the damaged equipment. Canadian ski coach Justin Wadsworth was the only one who had an extra. Wadsworth didn’t want Gafarov to finish slowly, hobbling across the line. He wanted him to finish with 45 . The Canadian skiers were already out of the race, giving Wadsworth two 46 : Leave Gafarov to hobble across the line on one ski, 47 give him the spare one. Wadsworth gave him the extra ski, 48 Gafarov to get second place in the quarter-finals. 49 , he came in sixth in the semi-finals. 50 was Wadsworth who helped Gafarov complete his Olympic dream.
The other example took place in the 2014 World Cup quarter-final match between Brazil and Colombia. The game had just ended. Brazil had won, 2-1. Brazil was 51 on the sidelines, cheering and having a good time. Colombian midfielder James Rodriguez had just had his World Cup dream tore apart 52 scoring a record-breaking six goals in the competition. Brazil defender David Luiz walked over to him, pointed at him, and 53 the crowd to acknowledge him. He then declared his 54 for a game well played and 55 him for his wonderful World Cup performance. It made both the crowd and Rodriquez 56 .
As an athlete, I know it’s easy to get caught up in the 57 of a game. But I also know that 58 is just as important as losing and winning.
Always remember to 59 your opposing team. Play hard, but play fair. And always be nice. It’s the right thing to do and it always 60 .

English Learning
Many Chinese students are working hard to learn English well, but still they are not good at it. They are wondering how to improve their English.
In my opinion, it’s not difficult to learn English well. First of all, we should have confidence in ourselves. Nothing is impossible if we put our heart into it. Besides, we should develop interest in English. We can do this by listening to English songs and watching English movies. What’s more, we should read aloud and speak as much as we can. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes and make good use of every chance to practice, because practice makes perfect!
I believe firmly that all of us can enjoy the success in learning English.

Text 10. Firemen had been fighting the forest fire for nearly three weeks before they could get it under control. A short time before, great trees had covered the countryside for miles around. Now, smoke still rose up from the warm ground over the desolate hills. Winter was coming and the hills threatened the surrounding villages, for heavy rain would not only wash away the soil but would cause serious floods as well. When the fire had at last been put out, the forest authorities ordered several tons of a special type of grass-seed which would grow quickly. . The seed was sprayed over the ground in huge quantities by planes. The planes had been planting seed for nearly a month when it began to rain. By then, however, in many places the grass had already taken root. In place of the great tress, green grass had begun to appear in the blackened soil.。
