I was enjoying my cake, when Heather asked me where my sleeping bag was. Only then did I know this party was a sleepover. The word “sleep-over” to a six-year-old bed-wetter is like what “cancer” means to an adult. But what if I told them I was a bed-wetter? At least with cancer, people gather at your bedside instead of running from it.I thought of a way to escape. I would explain that I needed my mother's permission to spend the nights. But as I called my Mom, Heather stood beside me to listen. She granted permission! Then I would be sleeping in the same living room as the other girls. I didn't bring my own pajamas(睡衣)，so Mrs. Peters offered me Heather's pajamas.As the other girls drifted into their sweet dreams, I tried to stay awake. “Do I nee d to go again? I'll stay up to go one more time.. .”.Of course , I finally fell asleep.The next morning , I was the first to wake up. I was warm! I lay in panic for what seemed like hours before the other girls started to wake up. I did the only thing I could do — I pretended that the bed-wetting didn't happen. I got up, took off Heather's pajamas and changed into my clothes like the other girls.Mrs. Peters walked into the room, and before she could say anything, she stepped right onto the pile of my wet pajamas. My heart stopped as I watched her face burn red. “WHO DID THIS?” She screamed, with a look so frightening. Should I answer? And that was when it happened — Mr. Peters came in and grabbed his wife , ‘‘Elvis Presley died!”The news of the King's death overtook Mrs. Peters, and I ,was spared. I got home without the other girls knowing what had happened.16. The author had to spend the night at Peters' because ________.A. she enjoyed her cake thereB. the famous singer Elvis Presley died that nightC. her mother allowed her to do soD. It was a routine of the party17. Mrs. Peters got angry because ________.A. she found the wet pajamasB. Elvis Presley passed awayC. her husband was rude to herD. all the girls slept at her house18. From the story, we know Mrs. Peters was ________.A. a bad-tempered womanB. a fan of Elvis PresleyC. a woman for perfectionD. a woman who hated to wash pajamas19. The passage is mainly about ________.A. an embarrassing childhood incidentB. a fan-purchasing experienceC. the shocking death of a famous singerD. an unfriendly hostessBLearning to communicate in another language may be challenging, but it is also a very rewarding and enriching experience. It is the best passport to discovering another culture. Here are a few tips to help you makethe most of the experience.Work at your own pace.Make the most of the time you have available to study. You will find you can learn more effectively if you study for half an hour every day, rather than try to do a whole unit in one sitting.Why not learn with someone else?It helps if you can learn with someone else. If you can persuade a friend or family member to study with you, it will give you extra motivation to keep working.Remember that you can go a long way with just a little language.Even if you feel unsure about your ability to form right sentences, you’ll find that it is possible to communicate with just a few words. Above all, don’t worry about getting things wrong: people will still be able to understand you. The more confidence you gain in communicating, the more fluent you’ll become.Build up your vocabulary.A wide vocabulary is the key to successful language learning but don’t try to learn too much at once. It’s best to study frequently. Put words into sentences to fix them in mind, and come back to them later. Learning vocabulary in this way is usually very effective.And most of all, have fun!20. This passage is basically about some ______ of foreign language learning.A. newsB. noticesC. suggestionsD. advertisements21. In the writer’s opini on, it is better to study ______.A. for half an hour every dayB. a whole unit at a timeC. more than an hour a dayD. at any time in the day22. Learning to speak a foreign language is the key to enjoying another ______.A. challengeB. cultureC. experienceD. discoveryCTwo of the hardest things to accomplish in this world are to acquire wealth by honest effort and, having gained it, to learn how to use it properly. Recently I walked into the locker room of a rather well known golf club after finishing a round. It was in the late afternoon and most of the members had left for their homes. But a half-dozen or so men past middle age were still seated at tables talking aimlessly and drinking more than was good for them. These same men can be found there day after day, and, strangely enough, each one of these men had been a man of affairs and wealth, successful in business and respected in the community If material prosperity were the chief necessity for happiness, then each one should have been happy. Yet, it seemed to me, something very important was missing, else—there would not have been the constant effort to escape the realities of life through scotch and soda. They knew, each one of them, that their productivity had ceased(停止). When a fruit tree ceases to bear its fruit, it is dying. And it is even so with man.What is the answer to a long and happy existence in this world of ours? I think I found it long ago in a passage from the book of Genesis which caught my eye while I was looking through my Bible. The words were few, but they became memorably impressed on my mind. "In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread. "To me, that has been a challenge from my earliest recollections (memories). In fact, the battle of life, of existence, is a challenge to everyone. The immortal words of St. Paul, too, have been and always will be a great inspiration to me. At the end of the road I want to be able to feel that I have fought a good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith.23. Which of the following is indicated in the first paragraph?A. Wealth results from honest effort.B. The men seated at tables in the locker room are lost in the significance of life.C. The men acquire wealth by planting fruit trees.D. For some people, no way can be found to escape the realities of life other than scotch and soda.24. The underlined sentence "In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread "means________.A. Bread tastes delicious when sweat pours off your faceB. No pains, no gainsC. Failure is the mother of successD. Bread comes from the sweat on your face25. We learn from the passage that the author_______.A. was a wealthy person in the communityB. held a positive attitude towards an active lifeC. was fond of associating with celebrities (名人)D. kept a secret of the reason why he was so impressed26. What is implied in the passage by the writer?A. To use wealth properly, eat, drink and be merry.B. Where there is a will, there is a way.C. If you cease to struggle, you cease to live.D. As life is but like a dream, a man is like a fruit tree.DWe know that hugs make us feel easy inside. And this feeling, it turns out, could actually ward off stress and protect the immune (免疫) system, according to a new research from Carnegie Mellon University.It’s a well-known fact that stress can weaken the immune system. In this study, the researchers sought to determine whether hugs—like social support more broadly—could protect individuals from the increased sensitivity to illness brought on by the particular stress that come with interpersonal conflict.“We know that people experiencing ongoing conflicts with others are less able to fight off cold viruse s. We also know that people who report having social support are partly protected from the effects of stress on psychological states, such as depression and anxiety,”the study’s lead author, psychologist Dr. Sheldon Cohen, said in a statement. “We tested whether awareness of social support is equally effective in protecting us from sensitivity to infection caused by stress and also whether receiving hugs might partially account for those feeling of support and thus protect a person against infection.”In the experiment , over 400 healthy adults filled out a questionnaire about their perceived (感知) social support and also participated in a nightly phone interview for two weeks. They were asked the frequency they engaged in interpersonal conflicts and received hugs that day.Then, the researchers exposed the participants to a common cold virus, and monitored them to assess signs of infection. They found that both perceived social support and more frequent hugs reduced the risk of infection associated with experiencing interpersonal conflict. Regardless of whether or not they experienced social conflicts, infected participants with greater perceived social support and more frequent hugs had less severe illness symptoms.“This suggests that being hugged by a trus ted person may act as an effective means of conveying support and that increasing the frequency of hugs might be an effective means of reducing the effects of stress,” Cohen said. “The apparent protective effect of hugs may result from the physical contact itself or hugging being a behavioral indicator of support and closeness. Either way, those who receive more hugs are somewhat more protected from infection.”If you need any more reason to go wrap your arms around someone special, consider this: hugs also lower blood pressure, reduce fearsome around death and dying, improve heart health and decrease feeling of loneliness.27. In Paragraph 1, the underlined words “wa r d off “can be replaced by ____.A. produceB. increaseC. supportD. prevent28. Dr. Sheldon Cohen’s experiment shows that ____.A. hugs can hide serious illness symptomsB. social conflicts can monitor signs of infectionC. depression and anxiety result from less social supportD. social support can reduce the risk of having a cold29. The passage aims to convey that ____.A. hugs can have protective effectsB. social support can cure diseasesC. stress can weaken our immune systemD. interpersonal conflicts cause infections30. The passage is most likely to be found in ____.A. a social science magazineB. a commercial brochureC. an academic essayD. a medical report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。
