AOne day, a clergyman(牧师)was walking down the street when he came across a group of boys, all of whom were between ten and twelve years of age.The group surrounded a dog. Thinking that the boys were hurting the dog, he went over and asked, “What are you doing with that dog?”One of the boys replied, “This dog is just an old neighbourhood stray(走失的狗). We all want him, but only one of us can take him home. So we’ve decided that whichever one of us can tell the biggest lie will get to keep the dog. ”Of course, the clergyman was surprised at this. “You boys shouldn’t be having a contest telling lies!” he exclaimed. He then launched into a ten-minute sermon(说教)about lying, starting with, “Don’t you boys know it’s a sin(罪过)to lie?”and ending up with, “why, when I was your age, I never told a lie. ”There was a dead silence. Just as the clergyman was beginning to think he’d gotten through to them, the smallest boy gave a deep sigh and said, “All right, give him the dog. ”21.

There, millions of monarchs spend the winter packed closely together in one small area. This migration is one of the greatest wonders of nature. Yet this behavior has now put the monarch at risk.Every September, millions of monarchs from the United States fly to Mexico. After about two months of flying time, they reach their sanctuary(庇护所)in central Mexico. Then, in the Warm climate of private and quiet valleys, far from most human activity, the butterflies create one of nature’s great scenes. They cover every tree with bright color. The show lasts until spring, when the butterflies return north. While they are all crowded together, the monarchs are highly weak. If the environment in those valleys was disturbed(打扰), the whole species could be hurt or even wiped out. That is why for many years scientists who knew about the monarchs’winter sanctuary kept the location a secret.In recent years, however, the monarchs’ secret has been discovered. Today, the butterflies’ winter sanctuary is crowded with tourists, who disturb the environment. Worse still, local farmers who need more land to farm have begun to take up the area, They are cutting down trees, making it difficult for the butterflies to survive.They should not farm in the monarchs’ sanctuary.Concerned people should act immediately to protect the species’winter sanctuary. Local farmers must be aided so that they no longer need to take land from the butterflies. Tourist visits to the butterflies’ hidden valleys must also be limited. Unless these steps are taken soon, in a few years the monarch butterfly of North America may be just a beautiful memory.25. What do we know about monarch butterflies?A. They fly to the US in autumn.B. They spend the winter in a pack.C. They are the most beautiful butterflies.D. They have been known to human beings until recent years.26. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A. The monarchs’ diet.B. The monarchs’ colors.C. The monarchs’ life cycle.D. The monarchs’ migration.27. Why did scientists keep the monarchs’ winter sanctuary a secret?A. To keep the valleys from being destroyed.B. To stop farmers from cutting down trees.C. To do their research secretly.D. To protect the monarchs.28. What is the purpose of the text?A. To tell about a great place to watch monarch butterflies.B. To provide information about monarch butterflies.C. To ask people to save monarch butterflies.D. To call on people to protect the environmentCIf you are having trouble falling asleep, you are in good company. About 65% of Americans said they have sleeping problems a few nights each week, according to a recent study by the National Sleep Foundation. Sleeping too little can lead to a higher risk of becoming fat and getting depressed(沮丧的). But before you go to a doctor for advice, it is worth examining your sleeping habits one more time. Someof your favorite evening habits may have something to do with the sleeping problems. Setting a Bright Alarm ClockThe light of your bright alarm clock can prevent you from falling asleep. You can make your room as dark as possible. Cover the bright numbers with a book or consider buying a small travel clock. Your cellphone alarm may also do the trick. Counting SheepWhen you just can’t fall asleep, it’s useless to stay in bed to count sheep. If you’ve been trying to fall asleep for more than 30 minutes, the National Sleep Foundation suggests you get up to do some reading or watch TV for a while. Such activities will make you sleepy. Before you know it, you’ll be going back to bed really tired.3. Exercising Late at NightDaytime workouts(锻炼) will keep you full of energy for hours. That’s why you don’t want to exercise within three hours of hitting the sack. Fierce(剧烈的) physical activity raise your body temperature and pumps your energy level—both are bad for a good night’s sleep.29. What can we learn from the first sentence of the passage?A. It’s not good to fail to fall asleep at night.B. People in a good company often have sleeping problems.C. There are many people who have sleeping problems.D. You should find someone to talk to if you can’t fall asleep.30. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. The bad results o f getting too little sleep.B. Why the bright alarm clock keeps you awake.C. What to do if you can’t fall asleep after 30 minutes.D. Why watching TV and reading books make people sleepy.31. By writing the passage, the writer mainly wants to tell us _______.A. why so many people can’t sleep well at nightB. how to enjoy a good night’s sleepC. that sleeping problems are troubling more and more peopleD. that people may solve their sleeping problems by some habitsDA scientist turns out to be able to see the future by offering each of some four-year-olds a piece of candy and watching how he or she deals with it. Some children reach eagerly for the treat they see. Some last a few minutes before they give in. But others are determined to wait until the last moment.By the time the children reach high school something remarkable has happened.A survey found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable. The children who gave in to temptation(诱惑)early were more likely to be lonely, easily frustrated and inflexible(顽固的).Actually, the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotional(情感) intelligence which doesn’t show up on an IQ test.The hardware of the brain and the software of the mind have long been scientists’concerns. But brain theory can’t explain what we wonder about most, like the question why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would sink a less resistant(抵制的) soul.Here comes the opinion of Daniel Goleman, writer of Emotional Intelligence：When it comes to predicting people’s success, brain ability measured by IQ may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as“character”. EQ is not the opposite of IQ. What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together；how one’s ability to handle stress, for example, affects the ability to concentrate and put intelligence to use. Among the ingredients(要素)for success, researchers now generally agree that IQ counts for about 20％；the rest depends on everything from social class to luck.While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional intelligence finally taken seriously, some few fear EQ invites misuse.32. The experiment with the four-year-olds makes it clear that .A. the age of 4 is a good time for scientific experimentB. emotional intelligence won’t show up until adulthoodC. the ability of self-control plays a role in personal successD. candy can be used to measure a person’s emotional intelligence33. Which of the following is true of EQ and IQ according to the text?A. The higher a person’s EQ is, the higher his or her IQ is.B. The higher a person’s IQ is, the higher his or her EQ is.C. Some people can be blessed with lots of both, but some with little of either.D. Scientists are trying to discover the way in which EQ and IQ work together34. The underlined word“upbeat”in Paragraph 4 probably means “”A. kindB. floatingC. excitedD. optimistic(乐观的)35. What is most likely to be written in the paragraph that follows?A. Information about famous people with high EQ.B. Examples showing the bad voice about EQ.C. Some reasons why EQ is relatively new field.D. Strong demands for basic emotional education.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。
