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
I work at a Care Center where most of the people are elderly. About a year and
a half ago a 59-year-old lady came to us who had cancer. She had to have her right leg amputated(切除)and she didn’t have a family to take care of her after the operation.
This lady was a quiet lady who mostly stayed alone. But in the afternoons, when she was feeling well, she would go to visit the other people in the Care Center. She would visit a lady who was blind and read to her. She would go into the room of a young girl with severe cerebral palsy(脑瘫)and sing to her. In her quiet and gentle way, she would go about the Care Center doing goods.
She passed away last Wednesday and after her passing, stories are coming forward of her quiet acts of kindness in her own hour of sorrow.
We never know what impact we have upon others. She had every reason to be bitter, to be angry, or to be swallowed up in her own grief. But she wasn’t. She didn’t have a family and probably felt forgotten, but her small and quiet acts of service made an impact upon the entire Care Center.
Each of us feels better than before for having known her. We have pledged(发誓)to be more aware of the service that we can offer to others.
21. Why did the old lady live in the Care Center?
A. Because she wanted to prove her importance.
B. Because she felt very lonely at home.
C. Because she was suffering a very serious illness.
D. Because she was invited by many patients there.
22. What did the old lady do in the Care Center?
A. She tried her best to comfort the other patients.
B. She practiced her singing here and there.
C. She was there waiting to be cured of her cancer.
D. She would do nothing but keep silent.
23. The underlined word “impact” in the fourth paragraph may most probably mean “______”.
A. result
B. condition
C. effect
D. situation
24. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A. Old though she was, she proved better loved.
B. Lost in grief, passing away in love.
C. Better known for one’s kindness.
D. Deep in trouble, but great in help.
B
A woman saw three old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard, hungry. She did not know them but invited them in. “ We do not go into a house together,” they replied. And she asked why.
One of the old men explained: “His name is Wealth,” pointing to one of his friends, “and he is Success, and I am Love.” Then he added, “ Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home.”
The woman went in and told her husband what had happened. Her husband was overjoyed. “How nice!” he said. “Since that is th e case, let Wealth come in and fill our home with wealth!” His wife disagreed, “My dear, why not invite Success?” Their daughter-in-law gave her own suggestion: “Wouldn’t it be better to invite Love? Our home will be filled with love then.” “Let’s heed our daughter-in-law’s advice,” said the husband to his wife. “Go out and invite Love to be our guest.”
Love got up and started walking toward the house. The other two also got
up and followed him. Surprised, the woman asked Wealth and Success, “I only invited Love, why are you coming in?”
The old men replied together. “If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us would have stayed out. But since you invited Love, wherever he goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!”

He was the baby with no name. Found and taken from the north Atlantic 6 days after the sinking of the Titanic in 1912. His tiny body so moved the salvage(救援) workers that they called him “our baby.” In their home port of Halifax, Nova Scotia, people collected money for a headstone in front of the baby’s grave(墓), carved with the words: “To the memory of an unknown child.” He has rested there ever since.
But history has a way of uncovering its secrets. On Nov. 5, this year, three members of a family from Finland arrived at Halifax and laid fresh flowers at the grave. “This
is our baby,” says Magda Schleifer, 68, a banker. She grew up hearing stories about a great-aunt named Maria Panula, 42, who had sailed on the Titanic for America to be reunited with her husband. According to the information Mrs. Schleifer had gathered, Panula gave up her seat on a lifeboat to search for her five children—including a 13-month-old boy named Eino from whom she had become separated during the final minutes of the crossing. “We thought they were all lost in the sea,” says Schleifer.
Now, using teeth and bone pieces taken from the baby’s grave, scientists have compared the DNA from the Unknown Child with those collected from members of five families who lost relatives on the Titanic and never recovered the bodies. The result of the test points only to one possible person: young Eino. Now, the family sees no need for a new grave. “He belongs to the people of Halifax,” says Schleifer. “They’ve taken care of him for 90 years.”
Adapted from People, November 25, 2012

on Nov. 5_____.
A. 1912
B. 1954
C. 2012
D. 2004
32. This text is mainly about how _____.
A.the unknown baby’s body was taken from the north Atlantic
B.the unknown baby was buried in Halifax, Nova Scotia
C.people found out who the unknown baby was
D.people took care of the unknown baby for 90 years

Deserts are found where there is little rainfall or where rain for a whole year falls in only a few weeks’ time. Ten inches of rain may be enough for many plants to survive if the rain is spread throughout the year. If it falls, within one or two months and the rest of the year is dry, those plants may die and a desert may form.
Sand begins as tiny pieces of rock that get smaller and smaller as wind and weather wear them down. Sand dunes(沙丘) are formed as winds move the sand across the desert. Bit by bit, the dunes grow over the years, always moving with the winds and changing the shape. Most of them are only a few feet tall, but they can grow to be several hundred feet high.
There is, however, much more to a desert than sand. In the deserts of the southwestern United States, cliffs(悬崖) and deep valleys were formed from thick mud that once lay beneath a sea more than millions of years ago. Over the centuries, the water dried up. Wind, sand, rain, heat and cold all wore away at the remaining rocks. The faces of the desert mountains are always changing—very, very slowly—as these forces of nature continue to work on the rock.
Most deserts have a surprising variety of life. There are plants, animals and insects that have adapted to life in the desert. During the heat of the day, a visitor may see very few signs of living things, but as the air begins to cool in the evening, the desert comes to life. As the sun begins to rise again in the sky, the desert once again becomes quiet and lonely.
33. Many plants may survive in deserts when _____.
A. the rain is spread out in a year
B. the rain falls only in a few weeks
C. there is little rain in a year
D. it is dry all the year round
34. Sand dunes are formed when _____.
A. sand piles up gradually
B. there is plenty of rain in a year
C. the sea has dried up over the years
D. pieces of rock get smaller
35. It can be learned from the text that in a desert _____.
A.there is no rainfall throughout the year
B.life exists in rough conditions
C.all sand dunes are a few feet high
D.rocks are worn away only by wind and heat

Easy Ways to Keep Your Brain Sharp
Everyone is forgetful, but as we age, we start to feel like our brains are slowing down a bit—and that can be a very annoying thing. 36 Read on for some techniques worth trying.
1. 37
People who regularly made plans and looked forward to upcoming events had a 50 percent reduced chance of Alzheimer's disease (早老性痴呆症), according to a recent study. 38 Something as simple as setting a goal to have a weekly coffee date with a friend will do. There's evidence that people who have a purpose in life or who are working on long or short-term goals appear to do better. In other words, keep your brain looking forward.
2. Go for a walk.
Mildly raised glucose (葡萄糖) levels can harm the area of the brain that helps you form memories and physical activity can help get blood glucose down to normal levels. In fact, exercise produces chemicals that are good for your brain. 39
3. Learn something new.
Take a Spanish class online, join a drawing club, or learn to play cards. A study found that mental stimulation (刺激) limits the weakening effects of aging on memory and the mind. But the best thing for your brain is when you learn something new and are physically active at the same time. 40 or go dancing with your friends.
A. Focus on the future.
B. This can be especially harmful to the aged.
C. It should be something like learning gardening.
D. So take a few minutes each day to do some reading.
E. But don't worry if your schedule isn't filled with life-changing events.
F. Luckily, research shows there is a lot you can do to avoid those moments.
G. In other words, when you take care of your body, you take care of your brain.

Planning Is Good ,But Doing Is Better
Planning is good as it decides in detail how we do. However, a plan can bear no fruit without being actually carried out.
My experience in the English speech contest last October is a case in point.
A month before the event, I spent hours working out a schedule outlining my goals and practical steps. After that, I set out to read widely for an inspiring topic, wrote a speech, and practiced its delivery in beautiful pronunciation with good public speech skills. I finally came out of the contest as the first prize winner.
I know how I achieved my success. It came from good planning and better doing
combined.。
