A
When I was a boy, I used to love walking in the woods around my home. My Mum warned me several times never to travel so far in case I would lose sight of the house. Being a typical boy, however, I soon found myself hiking farther and farther away, testing just how far I could go into the woods without getting lost. After losing my way once for two hours, though, I decided that I had better leave a trail the next time I went for a walk.
The very next day I decided to try it again. I walked into the woods until the house was out of sight. Then I snapped a small branch on a young tree to mark my place. I wandered farther and made a mark again by the branch which could be easily got from the tree and then another. In a few spots where there was no branch small enough, I used some heads of flowers. After a while I finally got tired and decided to head back. Turning around I easily found my tracks, but suddenly realized my mistake. I could see the track of destruction, which I had left in the woods. Looking at the damaged branches and dead flowers, I swore never to do that again. Instead, I started to enjoy staying alone in the woods. I'd sit by the rivers and listen to them sing. I'd bend down to smell the flowers. And I even buried an acorn (橡树果) or two, hoping that one day a tree might grow.
There is an old Native American saying that goes "We will be known forever by the tracks we leave." As I have grown older and wiser, I have done my best to never leave a track of destruction in my life as I did in the woods that day. I have instead struggled to leave tracks of love, kindness, goodness, and sympathy and I have tried to show others that they can do the same. May you always leave tracks of joy as you follow your own track of love!
21. From Paragraph 1, what kind of boy can we learn the author was?
A. Naughty but clever
B. Adventurous and full of curiosity
C. Aggressive but creative
D. Enthusiastic and pitiful
22. When the author saw the track made by branches and flowers, he probably
_______.
A. looked proud
B. felt ashamed
C. got lost again
D. was worn out
23. The American saying used in the last paragraph is to _______.
A. highlight the theme and increase persuasion
B. draw readers’ attention
C. give a famous example
D. reason undoubted facts
24. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. An American Saying
B. A Hike of Destruction
C. The Tracks We Leave
D. The Travel We Make
B
From the age of seven，Cameron was educated at two independent schools. Due to good academic grades, Cameron entered the top academic class almost two years earlier. At the age of thirteen, he went to Eton College in Berkshire, following his father and elder brother. His early interest was in art. Six weeks before taking his O Level he was caught smoking cannabis (大麻). He admitted the offence but had not been involved in selling drugs, so he was not expelled. However, he was fined and prevented from leaving school grounds.
After leaving Eton in 1984, Cameron started a nine-month gap year. He worked as a researcher for Tim Rathbone. In his three months there, he attended debates in the House of Commons. Through his father, he was then employed for a further three months in Hong Kong by Jardine Matheson as a “ship jumper”, which was an administrative post.
Cameron then began his Bachelor of Arts studies in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics at Brasenose College, Oxford. His tutor described him as one of the ablest students he had taught, with moderate and sensible Conservative political views.
Guy Spier, who shared a tutor with him, remembers him as an outstanding student, “We were doing our best to grasp basic economic concepts. However, nobody even came close to Cameron. He would be integrating them with the way the British political system is put together. He could have lectured me for it, and I would have sat there and taken notes.”
While at Oxford, Cameron was a member of the excellent student dining society, the Bullingdon Club, which has a reputation for a strange drinking culture associated with boisterous (狂放不羁的) behavior and damaging property. Cameron graduated in 1988 with a first-class honors degree.
25. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A.Cameron’s early education.
B. Cameron’s hobbies at school.
B.Cameron’s family members. D. Cameron’s bad experiences.
26. The underlined word “expelled”in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to
“______”.
A.caught
B. removed
C. retired
D. touched
27. What words can be used to describe Cameron in Oxford?
A. Able and excellent
B. Lazy and talkative
C. Noisy but sensible
D. Kind but aggressive
28. The Bullingdon Club mentioned in the last paragraph________.
A.is very strict in admitting members
B.is themed with dining for top students
C.is closely related to politics and dining
D.is an international club for college students
C
Soccer players may use their head to score. But frequently doing so may result in worse scores off the field. In a recent study, players who often used their heads to score performed worse on a memory test than players who didn’t head the ball as often. The same study also found that players who frequently headed the ball had more changes to their brain’s white matter. This tissue includes nerve fibers and their protective, white coatings (覆盖层). The fibers carry signals throughout the brain.
“These changes are subtle(微妙的),” Inga Koerte said. Koerte is a radiologist at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. Radiologists use X-rays and other scanning technologies to image the brain and other internal organs. This helps them spot problems and diagnose illnesses. Koerte did not work on the new study but has previously studied the effects of soccer on the brain.
Data from the new study suggest that even header hits that don’t cause a concussion(脑震荡) can affect thinking and harm the brain. A concussion is a sudden blow to the head that may leave a person unconscious or just dizzy. Heading a soccer ball doesn’t usually cause a concussion, even though the ball may move as fast as 80 kilometers (50miles) per hour, Michael Lipton said. Lipton is a scientist who studies the brain. He worked on the new study as part of his research into concussions.
Lipton and his coworkers tested 37 amateur soccer players. The participants included 28 men and nine women. The players reported how many games and practices they’d had in previous year. They also estimated how many times they’d headed the ball. Most reported hundreds of headers, though some reported
thousands. The scientists also gave the players a memory test. The nine players who reported the most headers scored worse, on average, than the nine players who reported the fewest headers. But some of those nine players really used their heads. The researchers now estimate that more than 1800 headers in a year could lead to memory loss.
29. What did the recent study find according to Paragraph 1?
A. Soccer players like using their heads to score on the soccer field.
B. Soccer players who frequently head the ball have injuries in their heads.
C. Soccer players who frequently head the ball score worse on memory tests.
D. Soccer players score worse on memory tests than people who don’t play
soccer.
30. Koete knows that using the head to score can lead to changes in the brain
because _______.
A. he is the leading author of the recent study.
B. he has studied the effects of soccer on the brain before.
C. he often plays soccer and has noticed changes in his brain.
D. he has used X-rays to observe professional soccer players’ brains.
31. What does Paragraph 3 tell us about header hits?
A. They are not as harmful as people think.
B. They are extremely dangerous and should be avoided.
C. They may not cause a concussion but can harm the brain.
D. They are very likely to cause a concussion if you are not professional.
32. According to the research of Lipton and his coworkers, we know that
________.
A. amateur soccer players like heading the ball more than professionals.
B. soccer players who reported the fewest headers also suffered memory loss
C. the number of header hits has nothing to do with memory loss in a soccer
player
D. soccer players may not suffer memory loss, if they have fewer than 1800
headers yearly.
D

Buying an airline ticket at the last minute requires research, advanced preparation and some luck. Discounted last-minute airline tickets are scarcer (缺乏的)than usual upgrades from coach to first-class. All domestic(国内的) and international airlines try to sell full-price tickets to offset (抵消) the red ink that has caused the airline industry a lot of sufferings for the past few years. 36 Visit the websites of airlines that you use for travel frequently. Register for their discount and last-minute ticket programs. 37 However, traditionally, offers to buy unsold seats usually show up in your email on Tuesday or Wednesday. Be prepared to snap up (抢购) your flight at the advertised price immediately.
Register at online travel sites like Travelocity, Expedia, Orbitz and Mobissimo. Set up fare alerts (警戒) for places that you want to visit and get email alerts when the fares drop from the normal rates. You can use this information to track the best prices by season. 38 However, you will need to combine your airfare with a hotel booking or a car rental (租金). In many cases, the price is still better than the price you will pay by going to the airline’s ticket counter.
39 Flights to New York through LaGuardia and Kennedy often cost more than those through alternate airports in Newark and White Plains. Your air travel time will be almost identical, although your ground transit time may increase.
Search with flexible departure and return dates. 40 If you can schedule your travel on the other days of the week, you are more likely to find seats and affordable prices.
A.Each airline has its own program rules.
B.The key to getting a proper last-minute fare is flexibility.
C.Travelocity has a last-minute booking option for weekend travel.
D.Many of these travel agencies help airlines sell their unsold seats.
E.The highest fares for most airlines are on Sunday, Monday and Friday.
e a secondary airport, instead of the preferred airport for a major city.
G.Try Priceline and Hotwire, if you have to travel without planning it in
advance.

When Adrian Black met his Italian partner 10 years ago, he was determined to learn her home language. Having successively 41 French a decade earlier when he lived in France, he felt the challenge was 42 .

It’s often said that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. Actually this47 is, for the most part, not true. It is generally thought that the adult 48 was believed to be a fixed structure that, once 49 , could not be repaired. But research published since the 1960s has 50 this assumption, showing that it is the special structure that changes itself in response to new experiences, and 51 injures.
This research suggests that one can never be too old to learn something new, but that the older they are, the 52 it is for them to do so.
Some aspects of language learning become more difficult with age, others may get easier. Picking up a new language’s vocabulary is much easier for adults than learning the rules that 53 its grammar. This is because new words can be easily 54 with a learner’s pre-existing knowledge. But older learners are less likely to have good pronunciation or 55 , since the sound of a language is picked up 56 by children.
57 the difficulties, Black 58 learning foreign languages as fun. “I’m doing it partly to 59 my brain active,” he says. “When you have some success and can 60 yourself, it feels like you’re using different parts of your brain that you weren’t using before.”

I was going through my wallet in the grocery line while I noticed a woman behind me counting coin. I knew she was going to pay for what she was purchased with them. I turned to her and said I would pay her. She looked up at me and refused polite. The cashier asked if I had any coins because she would not have to change the one-hundred bill I offered. But I didn't have some with me. I was surprised when a woman behind me said she could give some more to me. She could hardly pay for her groceries but she was still willing to help me! It is a good lesson for me to learn that it is just as important to receiving as it is to give.
