阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A 、B 、C 和 D ）中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A
Plan 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 Delays
Find 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.
Flight Cancellations (取消)
If your flight is canceled, then make a reservation(预订)on the next flight to your destination. Usually, air-line personnel(职员) will try to book everyone on their next flight. Often they will put you on a competitor's next flight only if you request it.
If on-time arrival is important to you, when you check flights through our reservation system you can rate your choices based on their on-time arrival records. Be sure to also check the weather conditions, as they often affect flight schedules.
21. A person goes to the airport ahead of time mainly to _______.
A. buy what he wants in the airport
B. have a good rest in the airplane
C. reduce the pressure of the flight
D. get on the airplane immediately
22. If a person calls "Rule 240", he wants to _______.
A. change for the ticket to the next flight

D. ask the reason for the plane delay
23. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Unpleasant travels
B. Dangerous flights
C. Airport travel tips
D. Busy airport
B
My parents knew their wealth: each other, their six children, and their faith. They tried to live simple lives so that they could have time for what was most important.
They didn’t busy themselves buying a bigger house, because that would mean working harder to pay the monthly mortgage(按揭贷款)，working overtime or taking second job. Who would go running with me then? Who would read stories to me?
They didn’t burden themselves with buying an expensive car because that would mean worrying about installment(分期付款) bills. Besides, walking to the shopping centre every Saturday afternoon with me gave my dad his needed exercise, and made me feel so special.
One of my heart’s delights was seeing Dad and Mom in their bedroom at night, after our nightly family prayer. The lights were turned off, and I’d see the figure of my father seated on his old chair and Mom standing behind him, gently massaging(按摩) his shoulders. I’d hear them talk about what happened during their day. Even as a child, I sensed their quiet pleasure in being together.
My question today: Could they have done this rich ritual(仪式) each night and
nourished(滋润) their marriage if they had been busy paying for expensive clothes for
themselves or their kids, or if they had been worrying about monthly bills for new hi-tech equipment? I don’t think so. And I’ve made a choice: I don’t want that of life either.
24. Which of the following is TRUE about the author’s family?
A. There were six people in the family.
B. They decided to buy a bigger house.
C. They lived an easy and happy life.
D. They had a second-hand car.
25. What did the parents regularly do with the author?
A. They wrote stories together.
B. They read newspapers together.
C. They regularly took exercise together.
D. They went shopping together each day.
26. The author believed that his/her parents’ happiness was due to(由于,归功于)
A. their attitude towards life
B. their love for each other
C. their common interests
D. their ability to communicate with each other
27. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author __________.
A. got bored with his/her parents’ way of educating kids
B. was influenced by his/her parents’ lifestyle
C. didn’t want to follow his/her parents’ advice
D. didn’t want to live the same life as his/her parents
C
In her outstanding book, “Choose the Happiness Habit”, Pam Golden wrote, “Take the story of two twin brothers for example. One grew up and became an alcoholic (酒鬼), while the other became a successful businessman. When asked why he became an alcoholic, the alcoholic replied, “Because my father was a drunk.” However, the successful businessman’s answer was also “Because my father was a drunk.” when asked why he succeeded. The same background. The same upbringing (培养). However, the results were quite different. Why? The reason is that they had different choices. The brothers chose different thoughts which formed the situations they found themselves in at last, so they had different experiences.
There was a time in my life when I thought difficulty was due to “bad luck”. Have you ever heard the saying “When it rains, it pours”? That was my answer when others asked me how things were going on when I was in trouble. So what do you think I got? “RAIN”. More and more “RAIN”. I couldn’t understand why bad luck was always with me.
Pam Golden says, “You’re either living in the problem or you’re living in the solution.” Now, when I’m fa ced with what I used to think was a negative (消极的) situation, I use a different way to think about it. I force myself to replace those negative thoughts that make me lose heart in my mind with positive thoughts which encourage me to fight against the difficulty bravely. Sometimes I write down some ideas that may be a solution, which I combine with the
lessons I have learned from the bad situations and the difficulties that troubled me in the past, and often, I find a solution to the problem soon. It seems that I should thank the difficulty I met with. The RAIN that poured in my world has become great experiences that provide me with valuable experience, from which I can benefit.
Now, it doesn’t “rain” as much in my life as it used to. In fact, most days are beautiful, cloudless and sunny! Sometimes I do get a rain, but I think it makes me stronger just like the rain helps plants grow up.
28. The example of the twin brothers shows that ________.
A. making good choices is the most important
B. education d ecides a person’s future
C. upbringing makes a big difference
D. it is luck that leads to success
29. What does “RAIN” mentioned in the second paragraph refer to?
A. Water.
B. Good luck.
C. Success.
D. Difficulty.
30. What is talked about in the third paragraph?
A. How the author collects useful experience.
B. How the author deals with difficulty now.
C. How the author gets help from others.
D. How the author lives in the problem.
31. Now, the author’s attitude towards “RAIN” is ________.
A. negative
B. unclear
C. positive
D. unknown
D
LONDON—Manchester is Britain’s fattest city, a survey for “Men’s Health” has found, beating Glasgow for the first time since the magazine started examining the issue three years ago.
Editor Pete Muir said the survey had looked at a variety of factors(因素) from gym membership to heart disease rates to find the fattest city. “Manchester has more fast food restaurants than anywhere else in the UK,” he told Reuters. “People are taking the easy choice —eating and then ju st sitting in front of the TV.”
Manchester’s problem is part of a wider trend(趋势). On Thursday, the Office of National Statistics (ONS) blamed(责备) a lack of exercise and poor diet for a fifth of adult Britons being obese(过度肥胖的). “Obesity is a major risky f actor related to heart disease, diabetes and premature death(糖尿病和早亡),” said an ONS survey. “None of the 108 young men in the survey reported eating five portions of fruit or vegetables on average each day.”
In Manchester, the head of the city’s public heal th programs said he did not believe that they were necessarily the fattest city, but that they did have problems and were aiming to
address them. Social deprivation(贫困) was a major factor. “One of the myths is that the stressed-out(压力大的) rich businessman i s the one who is overweight,” David Regan told Reuters. “In fact, it is the poor areas that have the most problems. We aim not to be the fattest but the fittest city but we have a long way to go.”
Second in the survey is Stoke-on-Trent, followed by Liverpool, Swansea and Leicester. Glasgow is sixth.
32. Manchester took the place of ____________ and became Britain’s fattest city.
A. Liverpool
B. London
C. Stoke-on-Trent
D. Glasgow
33. Obesity may lead to the following EXCEPT _______________.
A. heart disease
B. diabetes
C. premature death
D. a lack of exercise
34. David Regan is most probably _________________.
A. the reporter from Reuters
B. an official of ONS
C. the head of Manchester’s public health programs
D. a rich businessman who is overweight
35. This article is most probably taken from ________________.
A. a newspaper
B. a science book
C. a novel
D. a biography (传记)

How to make friends at a new school
Starting with a new school can be difficult. Everything seems to be different, and you don’t even know where to go for your own classes. 36 However, if you use these skills, you can quickly turn some of those strangers into friends.
Be yourself.
37 If some people don’t accept you, they’re not the kind of friends you need. People often stay together because they have similar interests. For example, someone who does a lot of sport may make friends with those who also run or swim a lot.
38
Remember to be nice to the people you meet at your new school. If you think that you will say something that may make them feel sad, do not say anything and just nod your head if they talk to you. Also, remember to be as helpful as possible!
Believe in yourself.
A smile goes a long way. When you walk in the halls, don’t keep your eyes on the floor. Raise your head and make eye contact (目光接触)with other people . 39 Introduce yourself.
Tell them your name and where you’re from.
Remember people’s names
You like it when people use your name, and so do other people. 40 Besides, ask them in a kind way if they have a nickname(昵称).You’d be surprised how often this might come in handy.
A.Be friendly to others.
B.Making new friends can be hard, too.
C.Join after-school activities you like.
D.Never change who you are to try and fit in
E.If you see someone you know, smile or say “Hi”.
F.People may become angry if you just begin by saying “Hey” each time.
G.Don’t sit at the back of the classroom where other people don’t notice you!
