A BEACH in Bodrum, a resort city in Turkey, saw the horror of a human tragedy on Sept 2. A little boy, dressed in a red shirt and blue shorts, lay face down in the sand. Sadly, 3-year-old Alan Kurdi would never wake up again.
Alan drowned along with at least 12 Syrians, including his 5-year-old
brother and mother. They were on a
journey from Turkey to Greece. Trying to make their simple but dangerous dream of a safe home a reality, they paid with their lives.
The tragic photographs of Alan’s lifeless body shocked the world. “What has drowned in the Mediterranean (地中海) is not only the refugees, but humanity,” said Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Refugees (难民), according to the UN, are people escaping war or persecution (迫害). Their situation is often so dangerous that they cross national borders to look for safety in nearby countries. The Kurdis wanted to head for Europe by crossing to the Greek island of Kos from Bodrum by boat.
The Kurdis’ tragedy was just one story from over 1,800 people who have died in the first six months of this year while trying to cross the Mediterranean to Europe, according to statistics released by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), on July 1. Together with refugees from Syria, Afgh anistan, Eritrea, Somalia and Nigeria, “migrants (移民) who are journeying to Europe from Africa and the Middle East have seen a sharp climb this year”, reported ABC News.
Migrants, however, are not necessarily refugees. A migrant may leave his or her country for many reasons apart from war, terrorism (恐怖主义), and persecution. They may seek employment, life with their family, or study in another country.
European countries have taken different approaches to the crisis. Germany and France are

opening their doors to more asylum (避难) seekers, those who say they are refugees but the status has not been decided by the UNHCR or a government. On Sept 8, reported the Associated Press, Germany’s vice-chancellor Sigmar Gabriel said his country could take in 500,000 refugees every year for the next several years. According to Fox News, Germany, the largest economy in Europe, is expecting to take in 800,000 refugees in 2015. And on Sept 7, France said it would take 24,000 refugees over two years. Other countries, such as Poland, Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic, have been unwilling to take a large number of refugees for various reasons including economic problems and safety concerns.
Despite disagreements among EU members, the UN’s Refugee Chief Antoni o Guterres said the crisis was “manageable” if member states could agree a joint plan.
41. Alan and his family headed for Greece to ______.
A. enjoy their holiday
B. visit their relatives

43. Which of the following words best describes the Turkish president’s tone in Paragraph 3?
A. Calm.
B. Critical.
C. Urging.
D. Disbelieving.
44. What can we learn from the passage?

C
I had arrived at the airport to catch an early flight home. It had been a very busy three days for me on an interstate trip with lots of meetings, business to do and new customers to meet. Then came the announcement that the flight had been delayed due to a technical problem. I could see a group of technicians and ground staff rushing about, obviously trying hard to fix the problem. I watched and listened as many of the passengers sitting near me shared their frustration about the inconvenience.
As I sat waiting, I reflected on my last meeting for the day. It was not a business meeting but rather a very enjoyable and brief lunch with an old business associate and friend I had not seen for over 12 years, and who I had worked with for nearly 15 years before we lost in touch . I had been given his phone number by a customer I had visited on the first day of my trip, so I called him out of the blue and made a time for us to meet.
Our lunch was spent recollecting (回忆)times gone by as well as filling each other in on what had happened in our lives over the last 12 years. Our conversation was frequently interrupted with statements such as “remember when we did...”, “whatever happened to...” and
of course the one we all liked to hear... “you know you haven’t change d one bit, except for a few more grey hairs”.
We both laughed and smiled as we recalled the good times and the great experiences we had shared over the 15 years we had worked together. Each event we discussed caused another recollection and everything we talked about centered on the good times. Almost at the same time, right at the end of our time together, we both said how much we both enjoyed it and that we must do it again. We agreed to catch up when I was next in town, then said our goodbyes and I was off to the airport.
So with this extra time on my hands as I waited for my flight, it was great to revisit and replay in my mind all that we had talked about over lunch. I realized at that moment just how important it is to have regular reminders of the good times in your life and to be able to take the time to reminisce, for so much of what we have done in our past, shapes us and makes us who and what we are today and beyond.
At the end of my busy trip with the focus on getting all the business done, I was indeed fortunate enough to have had the chance to take a short break and reflect on the good things that had happened in my life over 12 years ago. It was somewhat like looking at an old photo album that you have found stored away in a cupboard in your house. There before your eyes are lots of wonderful memories in print that take you back to that time and place, and most importantly to those people who are in the photos. It also made me realize that when you get caught up doing what has to be done in the moment, it is easy to forget the people you have met in your life who have made a positive effect on and enriched you, often in only the smallest of ways.
My flight home was finally called nearly three hours later and yes as you would have expected many of the passengers cheered when the announcement was made. I smiled as I boarded the plane and realized that I was not at all upset about the delay, as I had been able to spend much of my time reflecting on the good times from days gone by and now eagerly look forward to many more opportunities to reminisce.
51. According to the writer, the most precious part of one’s memories is __________.
A. the people you have met
B. the success you have achieved
C. the things that have a positive effect
D. the places where you lived when young
52. The detail that their conversation was frequently interrupted is mentioned in order to show
_______.
A. they were eager to make the conversation go smoothly
B. they had been very good and close friends
C. they were both interested in each other’s present life
D. they had a good time recollecting their old times
53. What is the possible meaning of the underlined word “reminisce” in Paragraph 5?
A. To think about a happy time in one’s past.
B. To spend a happy time with an old friend.
C. To make good use of one’s spare time.
D. To explore the relationship between friends.
54. When the writer boarded the plane, he smiled because_______.
A. he could finally fly home
B. the other passengers were cheering
C. he had made very good use of the delay
D. his busy trip would soon come to an end
55. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

B. Reflecting on the Good Times
C. A Delayed Flight Home
D. A Three-day Business Trip

下面文章中有5个段落需要添加首句（第56---60题）。

请从以下选项（A.B.C.D.E 和F）中选出适合各段落的首句。

选项中有一项是多余选项。

A. Simplify the conclusion.
B. Analyze what went wrong .
C. Don’t let history repeat itself .
D. Help others learn from your mistakes .
E. Use mistakes to make you stronger and wiser.
F. Accept the fact that you have made a mistake.
We all make mistakes. What we learn from our mistakes is what really matters. If we learn nothing, and time again make the same mistakes, it becomes harder for those around us to offer forgiveness. Instead, if we adjust our be havior based on what we’ve learned, we can avoid a lot. Here are a few suggestions for getting the most out of a bad outcome.
56. _______ If you can’t admit you made a mistake, you will never learn anything from it. Some people see admitting a mistake as a sign of weakness. It is decidedly not. It’s a sign that you’re a thoughtful individual who wants to grow and better yourself. The first step in learning from a mistake is recognizing that you made one.
57. __________ Depending on the complexity of the mistake, take some time to look back at the situation that led up to the outcome. Was it one huge mistake? Was it a series of small mistakes that balled up into one big mess? Could you have taken a different turn at some point and headed down a better path? Were you consciously making a bad choice? All these questions are important because they help you map out what leads to your mistake.
58. ________ Once you’ve figured out the reason why you made such a mistake, you should be able to get the answer. Here’s an example to illustrate this. Let’s say there is a specific intersection where you always roll through the stop sign. One day you get a ticket for doing this. You want to change your behavior to avoid future tickets. You can just simply tell yourself that always make a complete stop at every stop sign to avoid a similar ticket.
59. _______ In order to truly learn from your mistake, you must store the bit of knowledge you cultivated and actually apply it. You can admit mistakes all day long, but until you start changing your behavior, you’ll never learn anything. The old saying “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me” can be loosely applied here. You can make a mistake once and it’s usually forgivable. But if you make the same mistake again, y ou’ll have no one to blame but yourself. 60. _______ Don’t be selfish with the lessons you learn. You should feel free to offer advice to others based on the mistakes you’ve made. If you can help someone choose a better path or avoid a serious mistake, it’s a wonderful thing .

阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题。

Around the world young people are spending unbelievable sums of money to listen to rock music. ___61___ “It doesn't make sense,” says Johnny Mathis, one of the older music millionaires, who made a million dollars a year when he was most popular in the 1950s. “Performers aren't worth this kind of money. In fact, nobody is.” But the rock stars’ admirers seem to disagree. Those who love rock music spend about two billion dollars a year for records. They pay 150 million to see rock stars in person.
___62____ According to one theory, rock music has a special appeal because no real training is needed to produce it. There is no gulf between the audience and the performer. Every boy and girl in the audience thinks, "I could sing like that. " So rock has become a new kind of religion, a new form of worship. Young people are glad to pay to worship a rock star because it is a way of worshipping themselves.
Luck is a key word for explaining the success of many. _____63______Then, too, like most performers, McLean writes his own music, so he earns an additional two cents on every single record of the song. Records provide only part of a star's income. Around the world young listeners soon want to see the star in movies, on television, and in person. Nell Young, who performs in torn blue jeans, sometimes sings to an audience of 10 000, each of whom has paid at least five dollars for a ticket. After paying expenses, Young leaves with about $ 18 000 in his blue jeans at the end of an evening.
How do the rock stars use their money? What do they do when the money starts pouring in like water?___64______ England's Elton John gave someone a $ 38 000 Rolls Royce automobile and bought himself a $ 5 000 pair of eyeglasses that light up and spell ELTON. He also bought himself two cars, "one for each foot".
However, After two or three years, riches and fame are gone. Left with his memories and his tax problems, the lonely ex-performer spends his remaining years trying to impress strangers. New stars have arrived to take his place.

I’ve really got to do something to lose weight because I’m getting many too fat. I wasn’t worried about it until I go to see the doctor. He told me that I’d probably have a heart attack if I started eating less. Now I realize although I am always hungry, I have to stop eat too much when
I’m on a diet. It may be very hard and I certain need a lot of will-powder to succeed.
