All he knew was that he was on a plane heading for somewhere. The plane landed at Kennedy International Airport, where he was greeted by a family. This young boy was me.I have grown up in a town where there were few Asians, so I stuck out in the crowd. I made friends quickly and they treated me just like anyone else. You may ask if anyone made fun of my appearance. Well, of course, I met that' kind of person. I just shrugged it off.As an adopted child, I have something that others don't have. I have had the benefit oftwo families. I'm lucky to have got a chance to start a new life. But we must try never to forget our past. Someday I will go back to Korea to find out what kind of culture I left behind. There is only one thing that I regret about being adopted. When I argue with my parents and they realize they are losing the argument, they sometimes wonder what I would be doing if I were back in Korea. I don't understand this because I thought the purpose ofadopting someone was to give them a better chance of growing up in a family. Some day when I am older, I want to adopt a girl and raise her the way my parents have raised me, but I would do it better, for I know what went well and what did not.16.We learn that when the writer was on the way to his new family,______.A.

DBAlthough similar in appearance to hyenas(土狼), African wild dogs are nevertheless true wild canine(犬). They are a mixture of black, yellow, and white in such a wide variety of patterns that no two individuals look exactly alike. African wild dogs are widely distributed across the African plains but they do not live in jungle areas.They are social animals, living in groups of usually from 2 to 45 individuals. A hierarchy（统团）exists within the group, but the animals are friendly to one another. The young and theinfirm（体弱的）are given special privileges within the group.African wild dogs use their sense of sight, not smell, to find their prey. They can run up to 55 km/h for several kilometers. In eastern Africa, they mostly hunt Thomson's gazelles, but they will also attack calves, warthogs, zebras, impalas, and the young of large antelopes such as the gnu.Growing human populations have decreased or degraded the African wild dog's habitat and also diminished their available prey. Road kill and human persecution（迫害）have also had a negative impact on African wild dog populations. This species is also susceptible to a variety of diseases such as distemper, which is controlled in domestic .dogs. Conservation of the African wild dog's natural habitat must have the highest priority, as these dogs suffer in habitats modified by human intrusion（干扰）．21.What does the underlined word " susceptible" mean?A. easily affected or sufferedB. badly doubtfulC. seriously harmfulD. highly dangerous22.What factors affect the population of the wild dogs?a. the distribution of the dogsb. social livingc. highly increasing human populationsd. human's killing the dogse. many diseasesf. the changes of their habitatsg. domestic dogs h. food reductionA. a. b, c, d, eB. b, c, d, e, fC. c, d, e, f, hD. d, e, f, g, h23.From the passage we can conclude that_______.A.

He kept walking up and down restlessly, his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher had referred him to me. "This boy has lost his family," he wrote. "He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others, and I'm very worried about him. Can you help?" 'I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I help him? There are problems psychology doesn't have the answer to, and which no words can describe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically.The first two times we met David didn't say a word. He sat there, only looking up to look at the children’s drawings on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded.After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon - in complete silence and without looking at me. It's not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed, took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company. But why did he never look at me?"Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with," I thought. "Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering." Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly."It's your turn," he said.After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times about his biking with some friends, an d about his plan to get into university. Now he had really started to live his own life.Maybe I gave David something. But I also learned that one - without any words – can reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry' on, a friendly touch, and an ear that listens.26.When he first met the author, David________.A. felt a little excitedB. walked energeticallyC. looked a little nervousD. showed up with his teacher27.As a psychologist, the author_______ .A. was ready to listen to DavidB. was skeptical about psychologyC. was able to describe David's problemD. was sure of handling David's problem28.David enjoyed being with the author because he ______.A. wanted to ask the author for adviceB. need to share sorrow with the authorC. liked the children's drawings in the officeD. beat the author many times in the chess game29.What can be inferred about David?A.
