A press commentBAunt KELLY always had a special place in my heart. When I was growing up. I knew I could rely on her to have room for me on her lap and words of love and encouragement when I needed to hear them. When she died five years ago, I was devastated. The whole family was still in shock when her husband, Uncle Ronnie, died a week later. I longed to have a small item of Aunt KELLY’s to remember her by, but seeing her children and grandchildren overcome by the grief（悲痛）of this double loss made me shy away from asking.A few months after Aunt KELLY’s death, I was on my way to work when I saw Rescued Treasures, a local second-hand store. I only had a couple of dollars on me and didn’t really intend to buy anything, but I stopped anyway just to look inside. I had been shopping around for a few minutes when a small, black handbag caught my eye. It wasn’t fancy or special. I didn’t really need a handbag and continued to look around the store, but something kept drawing me back to that handbag. Finally, I checked the price tag（标签）. It was just one dollar.The handbag stayed in the back of my car for weeks until I came upon it during a car clean-up. I opened it up. I couldn’t believe it. They hadn’t even cleaned it out. It was still full of junk, old candy wrappers, old receipts（收据）and used paper. Usually the store emptied things inside, so there wouldn’t be any surprises for a new owner.I threw away some wastes, and sorted through the receipts, when I found one item in the small inside pocket. It was an insurance card with the name “KELLY” written on it. I began to cry. My beloved Aunt KELLY. This was her handbag.24. What do we know from the passage?A.

Life has become so competitive that every now and then we are struck (遭遇) by the fear of the unknown. With every new turn of events our self-confidence takes a blow. The biggest challenge before every person today is not to lose confidence in one’s ability.There are several reasons that affect a person’s self-confidence. The most important reason is lack of success. Not being able to succeed affects one’sself-confidence greatly. This is when one begins to doubt his own ability. In many cases one’s self-confidence is low when he feels rejected by society. For example, a person who loses his job gives a wide berth to other people for fear of being questioned about his work. However, this isn’t right at all. One needs to think along positive lines in spite of failures. After all it is your life and you have every right to live your life as you wish.The challenge lies in not allowing your self-confidence to decrease. It is very important to believe in yourself. Self belief is the secret to success. When success doesn’t come to you, you should not allo w your self-belief to be affected. Always keep in mind that success is sure to come in time. So, there is nothing wrong with your ability. Whenever lack of success causes you to doubt your ability, don’t forget to remind yourself that quick success does not last long. Also remember not to compare yourself to others. These tips will do a world of good to your confidence.In order to be self-confident, you need to have a lifestyle that is right for you. Create one and live a life as you want to. Leave others to themselves.28. According to the text, what causes people to fear the unknown?A. The low abilities.B. The lack of security.C.

In the author’s opinion, it’s important that one _____.A. should not forget his failuresB. should follow others’ adviceC. should not lose heartD. should believe lifeDFrom the first use of the rocket to carry satellites into space to the setting up of space stations, human beings have been putting great effort into space research.And so far, we have achieved many successes. But there are still numerous tasks in front of us and we should not stop trying to progress.The international space station (ISS) is an important step we should take in space exploration. It is not only helpful but also necessary. It provides a proper space environment for many experiments that we have wanted to do for a long time. It is also a base for the observations of the earth and the universe. It could also be an important base for later travel to the moon and Mars. In a word, if we want to explore space more, the first thing we should do is to set up a space station.As the space station costs a lot of money, it is hard for one country alone to establish one. The USA seems to be the only country that has the ability to build a space station alone，and it has tried to do so, but not very successful. So it aggregated many other countries to work on it together. Though it is still extremely expensive, it is much cheaper than doing it alone. It is really a job that needs everyone’s effort and will benefit everyone.Led by the U.S. and Russia, the ISS is a joint project between six space agencies involving 16 countries. Called the greatest achievement in human cooperation, the ISS has come to the end of a ten-year’s hard work in construction. China h as applied for taking part in the project many times. Unfortunately all the applications were rejected, which drove China onto the path of independent development. As the Long March Ⅱ-F/T1 carrier rocket blasted off (leave the ground) and successfully carried the Tiangong-1 into space on September 29, 2011, China takes a big step toward its Space Station Era.Some West media suggested that the successful launch of Tiangong-1 would disturb the balance of global space power, raising concerns about “China threat”. China’s space project is not designed for military (军事的) purpose but for developing space technology to explore space resources and make use of them for mankind’s well-being.32. From Paragraph 2 we learn that ________.A. the necessity of building the international space station is not realized nowB. the international space station is necessary for people to explore space moreC. many experiments have been done in the international space stationD. people have traveled to Mars from the international space station33. Which of the following is NOT a reason for countries’ cooperation in buildingthe international space station?A. That it is too far away from the earth.B. That it requires a lot of money.C. That it needs everyone’s effort.D. That it will benefit every participating country.34.The underlined word “aggregated” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by “________”．A. scoldedB. allowedC. unitedD. forbade35. China wants to build its space station in order to __________.A. break the balance of global space powerB. make use of space peacefully for mankind’s well-beingC. show that China can build space station aloneD. raise international concerns about “China threat”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。
