After too many hours, Naasih and I arrived in the slum(贫民窟) just as the sun was breaking across the smoggy Delhi sky. It seemed as if the small houses extended for miles, an ocean of tin roofs and laundry lines.Finally, Naasih stopped and turned to me. “Give me your bag,” he said. I handed it to him. I had promised to follow his directions, and in return, I was hoping to find whatever I thought was missing from my life. “I will meet you back here at sunset,” Naasih said and walked away.I began to walk through the streets. No one paid too much attention to the tall, hairless man walking among them. My throat was dry, my stomach turning over with hunger. And then I saw a small house and I knocked softly on the door.A young, skinny man, no older than 25, came to answer it. As I soon found out, the man is named Sankar and he was a Lakers fan. I also learned that he was a recently graduateduniversity student who had left his family to go after a dream of success in the big city. Instead, he had found work in the back of a restaurant.After lunch, Sankar took me to play basketball with a group of children in a trash-filled field down the road. The sun was beginning to fall as the laughter of the basket games echoed (发出回声) across the slum. I had been so caught up in my day with Sankar. I had started the morning in fear and exhaustion, but I was ending the day connected to something much larger.After the game, Sankar and I walked to Rata Road. There stood Naasih. He said, “You’re shining, Leon.” I had been knocked entirely out of my comfort zone, and I felt that wild burst of life that had been missing from my own.24. Why did the author come to Sankar's home?A. To play a game with him.B. To respond to Naasih's request.C. To relieve his hunger and thirst.D. To learn how disadvantaged people live.25.

Leon is good at connecting with others.27. What is the best title of the passage?A. A Chance to Make AcquaintancesB. The Power of Sport GamesC. The Pleasure from Indian SlumsD. A Voyage for Finding the SelfCAt this very moment you’re thirsty and hunting for something to drink. So you start walking towards the drinks machine at school. As you drink you hear your teacher say those frightenin g words: “Could I see you for a moment in the classroom, please?”You can almost feel your blood pressure rise as you walk to your English class. She’s always picking on you. What can it be this time? You think of the test you did last Friday. Now your mind is racing, your heart is pounding, and your forehead is pouring with sweat. In situations like this you will often feel like running away but you may also feel like hittingsomeone on the nose.Your teacher asks you to go into the class. “Here it comes,” you think. But what you hear is: “Well done. Your test was excellent.” You can hardly believe your ears.Our fight or flight response is designed to protect us from tigers that would have once hidden in the woods around us, threatening our survival. At times when our survival is threatened, there is no greater response to have on our side. When activated, the response causes stress hormones to pump through our body.When we face very real dangers to our survival, it is invaluable. However, few of the “tigers” we face in our lives cause a serious physical threat to our existence. They cause us no end of stress, triggering(引发) the full activation of our fight or flight response. They tend to cause us to overreact to the situation in a counterproductive (事与愿违的) way. It is counterproductive to hit someone (the fight response) or run away (the flight response).By recognizing the symptoms, we can begin to take steps to handle the stress overload. By learning to recognize the signals of fight or flight activation, we can avoid reacting excessively (过度地) to events and fears that are not life threatening. In doing so, we use this extra energy to help ourselves, borrowing the beneficial effects in order to change our emotional environment and deal productively with our fears, thoughts and potential dangers.28. Y ou feel nervous when walking to the classroom because __________.A. you broke the school rules.B. you failed the test last Friday.C. your teacher spoke to you loudly.D. your teacher always criticizes you.29. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A. The power of our fight or flight response.B. How our fight or flight response works.C. The benefits of our fight or flight response.D. How we control our fight or flight response.30. The underlined w ord “They” in Paragraph 5 probably refers to ______.A. fierce tigersB. real dangersC. dangers we faceD. serious physical threats31. A good understanding of our fight or flight response can help us _______.A. get rid of unnecessary stress.B. face real dangers bravely.C. find potential dangers.D. take threats seriously.DAccording to a new study from Cornell University, about one-fifth of the globalpopulation, or 2 billion people worldwide, will be forced to resettle or go deeper inland by 2100 due to the continuous rise in sea level.The study, published in the journal Land Use Policy, showed that the booming global population could make the matter worse. The researchers expected that there are about 1. 4 billion “climate change refugees(难民)” in the world by 2060 and by 2100 the number of the homeless people due to the rising sea level could reach up to two billion.“We're going to have more people on less land and sooner than we think,” said lead author Charles Geisler, professor at Corn ell. “The future rise in global average sea level probably won’t be gradual. Yet few policy makers are observing the significant barriers that coastal climate refugees, like other refugees, will run into when they move to higher ground.”For the study, the researchers reviewed potential problems that climate change refugees may face if they go deeper inland. The researchers were able to provide primary estimates of their loss on inland resettlement space. The researchers found that some inland regions were unlikely to support new waves of climate change refugees due to the remains of war, road developments and rare natural resources.Apart from the rising sea level, increasing storm weather and the booming global population are also having a huge influence on the numbers of climate change refugees. Storm can push seawater further inland. The increasing global population requires more land even as the ocean swallows up rich coastal zones and the river deltas. These force people to search for new places to move to higher ground.32. What would happen if the sea level were to rise?A. 2 billion people would be “refugees” by 2060.B. 50% of the population would lose their homes.C. Inland regions would become more crowded.D. Coastal regions would be polluted seriously.33. What can be inferred from Charles Geisler’s words?A. The sea level will go up in a little-by-little way.B. Moving to higher land isn’t the key solution.C. Land and population vary according to climate change.D. Policy makers should think more for climate change refugees.34. Why do climate change refugees fail to move to some inland regions?A. Because they can’t live a normal life there.B. Because they can’t adapt to the climate there.C. Because they will go to war.D. Because they will destroy the natural resources.35. What does the author stress in the last paragraph?A. In the future climate will become worse.B. The earth will see more climate change refugees.C. Global warming is a double-edged sword.D. Sea will bring humans more disadvantages.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。
