A“A child is dying out of breath！” I had just began my working day in the city，when these words came through the radio of the police car I was driving. I turned on the red lights and siren (警笛) and drove off as fast as I could，“Just my luck！” I thought. I did not know this city we ll and my first call of the day was a life­and­death sudden happening several kilometers away.I got to the house. A mother，filled with fear，handed me her baby，her face already blue. Was I too late? Dear me!I did what I had been taught to do in such a serious condition. A small thing flew out of the baby’s mouth onto the floor. It was a button. Thank heaven! The holes in it let a little air through.A doctor rushed into the room with an oxygen bag. The baby began to cry at the top of hisvoice，burned red and started to look for his mother. He was angry but was saved.21．The writer of the story is ________.A．a policeman B．a driverC．a doctor D．the boy’s father22．The writer turned on the red lights and siren in order to ________.A．show that he was a policeB．have the people in the streets make way for himC．warn the people in the streets of the danger aheadD．tell the people in the streets that he did not know the way well23．The baby was still living when the writer got to the house because________.A．the writer arrived in timeB．the writer had been taught what to do at that timeC．the button was not big enoughD．the button happened to have holes in it24．What did the writer mean when he said to himself “Just my luck！”？A．It was a good chance for him to practice what he had learned before.B．He was happy to have such a serious matter on his working day.C．He was not at all happy to have so serious a matter on his working day.D．He had been long waiting for the day to come.BThe Eiffel Tower is very famous in France. It is visited by 7 million visitors a year. The Eiffel Tower was designed by Gustave Eiffel in the late 19th century. On Monday, March 31st, 2014, it turned 125.The look of the Eiffel Tower is greatly loved by people today, but things were different when the design was first shown to the public. Many French artists thought that the design was ugly. However, Eiffel did not change a thing. He believed that once it was completed, people in Paris and visitors around the world would love the tower. He was certainly right.The tower became popular with the public as soon as it opened on March 31st, 1889, two years after the construction (连筑) began. Over 3,000 people came to look at this new tower and even made the effort to climb the l,710 stairs to the top. The 984-foot-tall tower remained the world's tallest man-made structure until 1930. In that year the l,046-foot-tall Chrysler Building inNew York City beat it.Today, the tower houses a number of restaurants on its first and second levels. The third level has been turned into a vast platform (平台). From there visitors can see the entire city of Paris. While visitors are allowed to take the stairs to the first two levels, the platform can only be got to by taking the elevators.To ensure that the "Iron Lady" always looks good, the tower is cleaned and repainted every eight years. It's an effort that takes a team of 25 workers, an entire year. If you travel to Paris one day, don't miss it, the excellent achievement.Happy 125th Birthday, Eiffel Tower!25. When Gustave Eiffel first showed his design to the public,________.A. the public celebrated the birth of itB. many French artists disliked the designC. the public thought it would be a popular towerD. many French artists decided to change the design26. When did the construction of the Eiffel Tower start?A. In 1887.B. In 1888.C. In 1889.D. In 1890.27. What do we learn about the levels of the Eiffel Tower?A. The first level is provided for hotels.B. Restaurants are all on the second level.C. The third level is mainly for sightseeing.'D. The elevators can go to all the three levels.28. From the passage, we know that the Eiffel Tower ________.A. is l,046 feet tallB. i s also called the “Iron Lady”C. is cleaned by 25 workers each yearD. is visited by 70 million visitors a yearCIf there is no difference in general intelligence (智力) between boys and girls，what can explain girls’ poor performance in science and mathem atics?It seems that their treatment at school is a direct cause. Mathematics and science are seen as subjects mainly for boys，and therefore，as girls become teenagers，they are less likely totake them. Interestingly，both boys and girls often regard the subjects for boys as more difficult. Yet it has been suggested that girls do not take mathematics courses，not because they are difficult，but for social reasons. Girls do not want to be in open competition with boys because they are afraid to appear less feminine (女性的) and attractive.However，if we examine the performance of boys and girls who have taken mathematics courses，there are still more high­achieving boys than there are girls. This difference appears to be worldwide. Biological explanations have been offered for this，but there are other explanations，too.Perhaps the difference which comes out during the teenage years has its roots in much earlier experiences. From their first days in kindergarten，boys are encouraged to work on their own and to complete tasks. Facts show that outstanding (杰出的) mathematicians and scientists have not had teachers who supplied answers.Besides，there can be little doubt that teachers of mathematics and science expect their boy students to do better at these subjects than their girl students. They even appear to encourage the difference between boys and girls. They spend more time with the boy students，giving them more time to answer questions and working harder to get correct answers from them. They are more likely to call on boys for answers and to allow them to take the lead in classroom discussion. They also praise boys more frequently. All of these seem to encourage boys to work harder in science and mathematics and to give them confidence (信心) that they are able to succeed.Such a way of teaching is not likely to encourage girls to take many mathematics and science courses，nor is it likely to support girls who do. When it comes to these subjects it seems certain that school widens the difference between boys and girls.29．The text mainly discusses________ reasons for the difference between boys and girls in scientific achievements.A．biological B．historicalC．social D．personal30．What are boys usually encouraged to do at school?A．To get help with their homework.B．To play the leading role in class.C．To work with girl students in class.D．To learn to take care of others.31．What does the passage say about great mathematicians?A．Their teachers did not supply answers to them.B．They started learning mathematics at an earlier age.C．They showed mathematical abilities in their teenage years.D．Their success resulted from their strong interest in mathematics.32．The author would probably agree that________.A．boys and girls learn in the same wayB．boys and girls are equal in general intelligenceC．girls are more confident in themselves than beforeD．girls should take fewer science courses than boysDIf you think English means endless new words，difficult grammars and sometimes strange pronunciations，you ar e wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?According to a new study by a British university，learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.The study also found the effect is greater when the younger people learn a second language.A team led by Dr.Andrea Mecheli，from University College London，took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five，as well as a number of later learners.Scans showed that grey matter density (密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language，the smaller the difference.“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language，”said the scientists. It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales，has researched the link between bilingualism and maths s kills.“Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible (灵活的)，”he said，“You are actually going beyond language and havea better understanding of different ideas.”The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English asa second language between the ages of 2 and 34. Reading，writing，and comprehension were all tested.The results showed that the younger they started to learn，the better.“Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world，” explained the scientists.33.The main subject talked about in this passage is ________.A．science on learning a second languageB．man’s ability of learning a second languageC．language study can help improve brain powerD．language learning and maths study34．In the second paragraph，the writer mentions “exercise” in order to ________.A．say language is also a kind of physical laborB．prove that one needs more practice when he (she) is learning a languageC．show the importance of using the language when you learn itD．make people believe language learning helps grey matter work well35．The word “bilinguals” (Paragraph 4) probably means ________.A．researchers on language learningB．second language learnersC．persons who can speak two languagesD．active language learners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。
