Passengers were making a huge number of 16 about the long waits at baggage claim (行李提取处). In response, the airport managers 17 the number of baggage handlers. The plan worked: the average wait fell to eight minutes. But the complaints18 despite the apparent success.19 , the managers undertook a more careful, on-site analysis. They found that it took passengers a minute to walk from their 20 gates to baggage claim and seven more minutes to get their bags. Roughly 88 percent of their time, in other words, was spent standing around 21 waiting for their bags.So the airport decided on a new approach: instead of reducing wait time, it 22 the arrival gates farther away from baggage claim area. Passengers now had to 23 six times longer to get their bags. Complaints dropped to near zero.This story shows a general 24 : the experience of waiting is defined only partly by the actual length of the wait. Often the psychology of queuing is more 25 than the length of the wait itself. Occupied time (walking to baggage claim) feels 26 than unoccupied time (standing at baggage claim). Research on 27 has shown that, on average, people overestimate how long they’ve waited in a lin e by about 36 percent.This is also why one finds mirrors next to lifts. The spread of high-rise buildings after World War II led to complaints about lift 28 . The motive behind the mirrors was 29 to the one used at the Houston airport: give people something to 30 their time, and the wait seems shorter.16. A. suggestions B. questions C. complaints D.challenges17. A. evaluated B. counted C. decreased D. increased18. A. continued B. disappeared C. doubled D. changed19. A. Annoyed B. Puzzled C. Discouraged D. Excited20. A. exit B. landing C. arrival D. departure21. A. uncomfortably B. aimlessly C. hopelessly D.impatiently22. A. freed B. sent C. moved D. removed23. A. wait B. walk C. waste D. sit24. A. principle B. approach C. belief D. reason25. A. scientific B. interesting C. useful D.important26. A. slower B. shorter C. more difficult D. more painful27. A. figures B. baggage C. queuing D. standing28. A. delays B. quality C. safety D. repairs29. A. devoted B. superior C. familiar D. similar30.

He stood out because the kids made fun of him. He was missing one of his fingers, and always pointed at students with his middle finger.I was not very good at English and math. No matter how hard I tried, I just could not figure out why I did not understand what all the other kids found so easy to learn.One day, I was told that if I got one more E on my report card, I would be taken to the “big prison for kids”．I tried really hard for weeks. I just couldn’t understand how to make different parts of members into whole things.The day before report cards were to come out, I knew that Mr.Young would give me an E, just like he always did.I went to Mr. Young and told him that the orphanage (孤儿院) was going to send me to the big prison if I got another E on my report card. He told me there was nothing he could do; it would be unfair to the other kids if he gave me a better grade than I had actually earned.I smiled at him and said, “Mr.Young, do you know how the kids make fun of you because you’re missing your finger？” He looked at me, moved his mouth to one side and said nothing.“They shouldn’t do that to you because you can’t help not having a finger, Mr.Young.Just like I can’t help not being able to learn numbers and stuff like that.” I said.The next day, when I got my report card, I tucked it into one of my books. While on the school bus, I opened it: Geography, B＋； Mechanical Drawing, C－； English, D－； History, C－； Gym, B＋； Art, C; Math, D－.That math grade was the most favorite one I ever received, because I knew thatsomeone in the world finally understood what it was like for me to be missing a finger inside my head.41.From the second paragraph we can infer that the boy is ________ in some subjects.A．mind­blowing(给人印象极深的) B．slow­witted(头脑迟钝的)C．fun­loving D．badly­behaved42.Where may the boy live according to the passage?A．In an orphanage. B．In a big prison. C．In the school dormitory. D．In his home.43.What grade should the boy have got in the math test this time?A．D－. B．B＋ C．D. D．E.44.The underlined word “tucked” in the passage most probably means “________”．A．struck B．listed C．hid D．copied 45.The reason why the boy remembers Mr. Young is that ________.A．he missed one of his fingers B．he treated his students very well C．he understood the boy D．he taught his students in a special way(B)Just as some people think that certain numbers are lucky or unlucky, others believe that we can use numbers to understand our personalities, or predict what will happen to us in the future.Numerology is a way of using numbers to describe a person’s character, and to make predictions about future life events. Numerologists use the numbers 1-9, 11 and 22 —also known as the “master” numbers — to help a person understand his or her personality, life goals, and destiny.Numerologists consider your Life Path number to be the most significant because this number describes your character. To find this number, add together all the numbers in your date of birth. For example, a person born on April 25, 1985 would add the month (4), to the numbers of the date (2+5), plus the numbers of the birth year (1+9+8+5). In this case the total is 34, so this person’s life path number is 7(3+4). Numerologists believe that people with this number are peaceful and affectionate but can also be very reserved.Your Expression number describes your talents and predicts how you should use these to fulfill your destiny in life. Numerologists assign a number between 1 and 9 to each of the letters in your name. These numbers are then added together in the same way as before to find your Expression number. Numerologists can also do calculations to predict when the most challenging periods of your life will be.Numerologists also believe that the day a person is born is important. Each day of the month has a character description. People born on the fourth are said to be responsible, honest, and stubborn. People born on the fifteenth have very strong attachments to family and home. Those who celebrate their birthday on the thirtieth are artistic, creative, and imaginative, and often make good writers.If we calculate the numerical value of our name and birth date, numerologists believe that we can learn more about our personalities. They also believe that we can predict our destinies, how our lives will progress, and what challenges we may face along the way. To the numerologist, numbers can be used in many more ways thanwe think.46. If a person was born on November 8, 1995, what is his Life Path number?A. 7B. 8C. 9D. 1147. To understand your abilities and how to use them in your life, you should calculate your ______.A. Life Path numberB. Expression numberC. birthdayD. name and birth date48. According to the passage, a person born on the fifteenth tends to be _______.A. stubbornB. home-lovingC. artisticD. imaginative49. According to the passage, numerologists believe that _________.A. Life Path number can be used to predict a person’s most challenging life periodsB. Expression number is the most mea ningful for people to learn a person’s characterC. numbers can help people better understand themselvesD. numbers can be used to change a person’s future50. The function of the passage is __________.A. to raise doubts about the usefulness of numerologyB. to persuade readers about the benefits of the practices it describesC. to describe some of the numerological practices and their purposeD. to tease those who take such beliefs seriously(C)The day when the jobs were handed out was one of the most exciting moments for all the children in the class. It took place during the first week of the term. Every kid was given a job for which they would be responsible for the rest of that school year.Some jobs were more interesting than others, and the children were eager to be given one of the best ones. When giving them out, the teacher took into account which pupils had been most responsible during the previous year. During the previous year Rita had carried out the teacher’s instructions perfectly. All the children knew Rita would be given the best job.But there was a big surprise. Each child received a normal job. But Rita’s job was very different. She was given a little box containing some sand and one ant. Though the teacher insisted that this ant was very special, Rita felt disappointed. Most of her classmates felt sorry for her. Even her father became very angry with the teacher and he encouraged Rita to pay no attention to this insignificant pet. However, Rita preferred to show the teacher her error by doing something special with that job of little interest.Rita started investigating all about her little ant and gave the ant the best food, and it grew quite a bit bigger.One day, a man, who looked very important, came into their classroom and declared, “Your class has been chosen to accompany me, this summer, on a journey to the tropical rain forest, where we will investigate all kinds of insects. Among all theschools of this region, your class has best cared for the little ant.”That day the school was filled with joy and celebration. Everyone thanked Rita for having been so patient and responsible. And many children learnt that to be given the most important task you have to know how to be responsible even in what are the smallest tasks.51. That the teacher gave out jobs to the children is based on _______.A. their characters and interestsB. their class performance during the previous yearC. their working performance during the previous yearD. their ability of managing their accounts during the previous year52. What does the underlined sentence mean?A. Each child got an important job.B. Each child got an interesting job.C. The perfect student got the job of everyone’s preferenceD. The most responsible student got the job of least interest.53. Rita’s attitude to her father’s suggestion is ________A. negativeB. uncertainC. totally positiveD. acceptive54. We can infer that the man who made the declaration is a _________.A. hunterB. directorC. biologistD. principal55. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Never complain about lifeB. Small tasks can lead to fortunesC. Men are best known by their friendsD. Responsibility and intelligence bring good luck(D)The idea about the phoenix goes back to Ancient Egypt, where we find the phoenix described as a handsome, eagle-like bird, with part-golden, part-red plumage, that spent most of its life in the Arabian deserts. It was rarely seen and according to one version of the story, only appeared in Egypt once every five hundred years, when it flew to Heliopolis, “city of the sun”, and deliberately burnt itself to ashes by settling on the altar(祭坛) flame there! However, it seems it did not really die because from those same ashes a young, fully formed phoenix was born and flew away, apparently back to Arabia.It is pretty obvious that no one has ever seen or will see a living phoenix. The interesting thing is that we can find certain clues which may explain one aspect of the Egyptians’ idea. It may sound unbelievable, but some birds are apparently quite charmed by flames and small fires, especially members of the crow family. One zoologist actually proved this by setting fire to some straw near to a tame（驯养的） rook. Far from becoming nervous and backing away, the bird deliberately stood over the flames, with raised and vibrating wings. It didn’t get burnt, but the image it presented by its strange behavior was almost exactly like that shown in illustrations of the mythical phoenix!Why birds should occasionally behave in this strange way is not clear. One idea is that they carefully use the heat of the flames to relieve the annoyance caused by their feather mites(虱) which all birds have. Whatever the reason, it is quite possible that the Ancient Egyptians saw birds behaving in this way, from time to time, and used it as the basis of their phoenix myth, adding fanciful details whichclosely linked it to their worship of the sun and their belief in resurrection. Nowadays, the phoenix is much less important to us than it was to the Egyptians. But the logo of modern fire insurance companies, which employ the phoenix as one of their symbols, refers that in one sense the idea of it remains.56. According to the passage, the phoenix ______________ .A. is a handsome and eagle-like bird living in ArabB. used to be seen when the Egyptians held religious activitiesC. has never really existed in the worldD. is the king of all kinds of birds57. The reason why birds stand above flames is probably that _____________ .A. the phoenix used to do soB. they may get rid of the mitesC. they want to burn their featherD. they can heat themselves58. Which of the following statements is NOT correct?A. The ancient Egyptians worshiped the phoenix.B. The scientists have discovered why birds are attracted by fire.C. The modern people still favor the idea of the phoenix.D. The mythical tales about the phoenix were based on facts.59. Which of the following is closest to “resurrection” in the 3rd paragraph?A. living foreverB. offering warmthC. coming back to lifeD. staying healthy60. What does the phoenix probably mean in the logo of a fire insurance company?A. Our company can protect you from being harmed by fire.B. If your property is destroyed by fire, we will help you build it up again.C. Our company will always be energetic and wealthy.D. If needed, we will save you at the risk of losing lives.第二节信息匹配（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）下面是一篇有关书籍介绍的应用文，请阅读下列应用文和相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。

Next to me, my four-year-old son, Michael, pressed his face against the glass. Then, looking up at me with pleading eyes, he again asked if he could have a kite.Ever since he had first seen the children on the hill, Michael had been asking the same question, and had been given the same answer: “Wait till you are a little older.”Michael hid his face in my skirt, something he always did when he was going to cry and didn’t want me to see.I felt like crying myself. Because of my health I simply didn’t have the strength or energy to fly a kite with Michael, and Michael was too young to fly a kite all by himself. My husband worked long, irregular(无规律的) hours, and even so we kept going deeper in debt. As a result, a tension had grown between us.Michael was the one spark of life left for me. As I put him into bed that evening, he said, “Mummy, may I pray to God to send me a yellow kite?”“Yes,” I said. “We will leave it up to him.” I was tired of the whole thing and hoped that maybe this would make Michae stop talking about it. The next morning I raised the shade in the kitchen, and stared at the sight that met my eyes—a string hanging down in front of the window. I ran out of the back door. There was a kite, a yellow one.Michael clapped his hands and jumped up and down. “Mummy, I knew God would answer my prayer!”I didn’t believed. We asked all over the neighborhood but twe never found the kite’s former owner.My depression left me, and as my health improved, so did my relationship with my husband. All I needed was comfort; no matter what it is, the kindness always exists in my heart.36. When the author’s son was about to cry he ________.A. always went out to fly his kite with his friendsB. always hid his face in his mother’ s skirtC. always pressed his face against the glassD. was always angry and ignored his mother.37. Why didn’t the author buy her son a kite?A. She thought it was unsafe to fly a kite on the hill.B. She was too busy to fly a kite with her son.C. She didn’t have enough energy and money.D. She didn’t want to spend the money.38. Which of the following would be the reason for the author not giving herself up?A. Her son’s birth and growing up.B. Her husband’s deep love for her.C. Her dream of rich life.D. Her belief in God who would help her.39. What can we learn about the author’s husband according to the passage?A. He bought the yellow kite for his son.B. He had a very good job but earned a little.C. He didn’t love his wife and son any more.D. He couldn’t earn enough money to support his family.40. From the text we can conclude that ________.A. it’s important to give a child what he wantsB. there are many unhappy families in the worldC. a kindness helps change a person and a familyD. sometimes good luck will come to anybodyBTOKYO, Japan (AP)– Japan is very serious about robotics. If the droids are going to fit in, they probably need to learn the Japanese custom of serving tea. Fortunately, researchers at the University of Tokyo are exploring just that. In a show this week, a humanoid（有人特点的）with camera eyes made by Kawada Industries Inc. poured tea from a bottle into a cup. Then another robot on wheels delivered the cup of tea in an experimental room that has sensors embedded in the floor and sofa as well as cameras on the ceiling, to simulate （模仿）life with robot technology.“A human being may be faster, but you’d have to say ‘Thank you,’” said University of Tokyo profe ssor Tomomasa Sato. “That’s the best part about a robot. You don’t have to feel bad about asking it to do things.”Sato believes Japan, a rapidly aging society where more than a fifth of the population is 65 or older, will lead the world in designing robots to care for the elderly, sick and bedridden（卧床不起的）.Already, monitoring technologies, such as sensors that automatically turn on lights when people enter a room, are becoming widespread in Japan.The walking, child–size Asimo from Honda Motor Co. greets people at showrooms. NEC Corp. has developed a smaller companion robot–on –wheels called Papero. A seal robot available since 2004 can entertain the elderly and others in need of fuzzy companionship.Sato says his experimental room is raising awareness about privacy questions that may arise when electronic devices monitor a person’s movements down to the smallest detail.On the bright side, the tea – pouring humanoid has been programmed to do the dishes.41. What is the best title of this passage?A. “Thank You” Will Never Be Needed in Jap anB. Monitoring Technologies Are Widespread in JapanC. Robot Is Designed to Care for the Elderly.D. Robot technologies are wide spread in Japanese daily life.42. The underlined word “embedded” in the first paragraph probably means .A. fixedB. establishedC. settledD. rooted43. According to Professor Sato, .A. the robot serves tea much faster than a human beingB. the robot does anything like human beingsC. tea – serving robot helps to form laziness of the aging societyD. tea –serving robot doesn’t need any reward for the service44. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. A robot can imitate people to complete complicated tasks.B. A robot has been programmed to clean the dishes.C. All the problems in the aging society can be solved by robots.D. The number of aging people is increasing rapidly in Japan.45. We can infer from the passage that .A. people are afraid of being monitored by robots.B. the technology of robots has been highlighted in Japan.C. robots can completely take the place of human beings.D. people’s privacy should be strictly protectedCKnowing how much her own children loved presents at Christmas, Ann Sutton always tried to seek help for one or two poor families. With a social worker mother, the Sutton children had inherited(继承) her commitment to service, and knew never to take their good fortune at Christmas for granted. This year, Kinzie, her seven-year-old daughter was thrilled that Santa Claus would make a special visit to a 22-year-old mother named Ashley who worked in a factory raising her 12-month-old son by herself.The phone rang on Sunday. A representative from a local organization was calling to say that the aid Ann had requested for Ashley had fallen through. No Santa Claus, no presents, nothing.Ann saw the cheer vanish from her children’s faces at the news. Without a word, Kinzie ran into her bedroom. She returned, her face set with determination. Opening up her piggy bank, she put all the coins onto the table: $3.30. Everything she had.“Mom,” she told Ann, “I know it’s not much. But maybe this will buy a present for the baby.”At a breakfast meeting the next day, Ann told her coworkers about her daughter’s story. To her surprise, staff members began to open their purses and empty their pockets to help Kinzie. By day’s end, the story of Kinzie’s gift had spread beyond Ann’s office. She received a call from an unknown donor. If a seven-year-old could give everything she had, he said, he should at least match her gift 100 to 1. He contributed $300.On Christmas Eve, Ann drove through the pouring rain to the small trailer where the Ashleys lived. Then she began to unload the gifts from the car, handing them to Ashley one by one.Ashley was very moved. Reflecting on a little girl’s generosity, Ashley says she’ll one day be able to do something similar for someone else in need. “Kinzie could have used that money for herself, but she gave it away,” Ashleysays. “She’s the type of kid I’d like my son to grow up to be.”46. According to the text, Ann Sutton ______________.A. is making lots of moneyB. is ready to help othersC. is only caring about herselfD. is a hard-working mother47.Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?A. Ashley lived a hard life with her little son.B. The Sutton children took Anne as an example to follow.C. The coworkers of Ann helped Kinzie to realize her wish.D. Ann Sutton tried to ask for help for her own children.48.What can we learn about Kinzie?A. She was afraid that Santa Claus would visit the Ashleys.B. She should get some presents from her mother at Christmas.C. She devoted all her coins to buying a present for the baby.D. She was cheerful when hearing the aid had fallen through.49. Which of the following can be inferred from the text?A. It rained heavily on Christmas Eve.B. Ann handed gifts to Ashley one by one.C. Ashley hoped she would help someone else in need.D. A good deed can influence many people’s behavior.50. What would be the best title for the text?A. A Young Girl’s GiftB. A Mother’s LoveC. A Story of Young GirlD. An Unknown DonorD“Dear anybody. Your email address has been chosen by our computer. So, for no reason, we’d like to give you a million dollars. All you need to do is give us your bank account numbers. Can we interest you in some diet pills? And, by the way, I want to marry you.”I hate to let you down, but there is no “million dollars”. The diet pills don’t exist –and your future “husband” or “wife” has just proposed to a million others. These and a hundred other stories have been made up to steal your personal information or money or maybe just to infect your computer with a virus. Welcome to the world of junk email.Junk email – or spam – is probably the biggest global b usiness that’s ever existed. Billions of spam emails are sent every day, making up around 80% of all email traffic. These incredible volumes of spam slow down the whole internet and cost businesses millions of dollars just trying to keep up with the next trick.Your email programme probably includes a spam filter, which sorts out the mail you do want from the junk. But it’s impossible to stop it all and if you put together the seconds it takes to see through the deception (欺诈) in each one, they add up to a significant amount of lost time dealing with the spam that does get through.But who could fall for such obvious tricks? Probably very few of us – one in a million, perhaps. But when you are sending billions of these every day,for next to no cost, it does n’t take a genius to work out that someone is getting very rich.But who? It’s incredibly difficult to find out. Most spam is sent using anonymous networks of infected computers, called “botnets”, some of which are made up of tens of millions of computers across dozens of countries. Maybe your own laptop is sending out marriage proposals right now. It’s enough to put you off using email again!So what can you do to defend yourself? You could set up a separate email account for online use, or maybe leave out the @ symbol when you write your email address online. An up-to-date web browser and antivirus program will help too. And of course, never open strange email, even from a friend’s account. Never click on the links. And never ever reply!51. The passage is mainly about ________.A. the problem of junk mailB. the profits of junk mailC. protection against junk mailD. the harmful effects of junk mail52. The first paragraph serves as ________.A. an important notice to the readerB. a joke to make the readers laughC. some examples of junk mailsD. suggestions to some personal problems53. The underlined word “others” (in paragraph 2) refers to ________.A. other dollarsB. other pillsC. other storiesD. other people54. From paragraph 4, we know that _________.A. the spam filter is the only solution to junk mailB. dealing with junk mail wastes much of our timeC. spam filters do not really work and email programmes are to blameD. using a spam filter takes up a significant amount of time55. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. The only purpose of junk mail is to infect your computer.B. The majority of emails which are sent are junk emails.C. Businesses spend millions of dollars sending spam.D. Botnets are networks of laptops used to send spam.第二节信息匹配(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。

Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because they haven’t thought about it don't have it on their schedule, don t know it is coming or are too strict to depart from their routine.I can't count the times I called my sister and said, "How about going to lunch in half hour?" She would gasp and stammer (结结巴巴地说). “I can't. I have clothes on the line. My hair is dirty. I wish I had known it yesterday. I had a late breakfast, and it looks l ike rain.” And my personal favorite response: “It's just Monday.” She died a few years ago. We never did have lunch together. From then on, I’ve tried to be a little more flexible.Life has a way of going faster as we get older. The days get shorter, and the list of promises made to ourselves gets longer. One morning, we awaken, and all we have to show for our lives is repetition of "I'm going to", "I plan on" and "Someday, when things are settled down a bit."W hen anyone calls my “seize the moment” friend, she is open to adventure and available for trips. She keeps an open mind on new ideas. Her enthusiasm for life is contagious to people around. You talk with her for five minutes, and you re ready to trade your bad feet for a pair of rollerblades and skip an elevator for a bungee cord.My lips have not touched ice cream for 10 years. I love ice cream. The other day I stopped the car and bought a triple-decker. If my car had hit an iceberg on the way home, I would have died happily.Now ... go on and have a nice day. Do something you WANT to ... not something on your SHOULD DO list.24. The example of the writer’s sister serves as ______ of the author's view.A. an argumentB. an introductionC. a supportD. a conclusion25. The writer thinks that the excuse "It's just Monday" is acceptable, because_______________.A. it is still likely that they can have lunch together some time laterB. it sounds most reasonable of all the excusesC. it shows respect for the writers suggestionD. it indicates the time when they can have lunch together26. The underlined word “contagious"in the fourth paragraph means "__________".A. accurateB. influentialC. practicalD. flexible27. What is the purpose of the writer by writing this passage?A. To suggest how time flies.B. To persuade busy people to relax.C. To advise people to keep their promise.D. To persuade readers to be flexible on their schedule for practical joy.CIt was once thought that air pollution affected only the area immediately around large cities with factories and heavy automobile traffic. Today we know that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution, the problem is literally worldwide. On several occasions over the past decade a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the entire eastern half of the United States and led to health warnings even in rural areas away from any major concentration of manufacturing and automobile traffic. In fact the very climate of the entire earth may be affected by air pollution.Some scientists feel that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of fossil fuels (coal and oil) is creating a "greenhouse effect" -- holding in heat reflected from the earth and raising the world's average temperature. If this view is correct and the world's temperature is raised only a few degrees, much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New York, Boston, Miami, and New Orleans will be under water.Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particulate matter in theatmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earths temperature -- a result that would be equally disastrous. a drop of just a few degrees could create something close to new ice age and would make agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top farming areas.At present we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen, though one recent government report prepared by experts in the field concluded that the greenhouse effect is very likely.

Oh, the satisfaction in our young hearts -- a green elephant tie!With his glasses at the tip of his nose he greeted us cheerfully, "Good morning, folks!" He was strange and unique and he brightened every day for us. He was the most dynamic teacher I had ever met.I loved music, so I remember how excited I was when he said he was going to give us music lessons. But when he turned on the music, my classmates and I slowly turned our heads toward the sound of …Peter Paul and Mary singing "If I Had a Hammer".Snickers (窃笑) filled the room. If it wasn't rap or hip hop, we didn't recognize it. What were these people singing about? My classmates were not into this at all. But for me, a girl of 12, it was a discovery. An awakening.Twenty years passed and now there are forty little eyes staring at my wild musical-note shirts as I greet them with a joyful, "Good morning, class!" I wonder if my students wait and wonder what crazy music clothes I will wear each day.I glance at my 2015 Teacher of the Year Award which I received for being a dynamic teacher. And I smile to myself, wondering which child in front of me will carry this on -- as I've carried on the legacy (遗产) of Mr. Miller.One teacher, who dared to be different and open new worlds to kids like me, threw the significant stone into the pond of my life. I pray the ripples（涟漪）never end.32. What can we infer about Mr. Miller?A. He was an animal lover.B. He didn’t take his work seriously.C. He often dressed up in an unusual way.D.

The journey is a matter of 281 steps. But I used the car. And I wasn’t in any hurry,either. I had merely become one more victim of a national sickness: motorosis.It is an illness to which I had thought myself immune(免疫的), for I was born in the tradition of going to places on my own two legs. At that time, we regarded 23 miles a good day’s walk and the ability to cover such a distance in ten hours a sign of strength and skill. It did not occur to us that walking was a hardship. And the effect was lasting. When I was23 years old, I raced, and beat a teenage football player the 168 steps up the Stature of Liberty.Such enterprises today are regarded by many middle-aged persons as bad for the heart. But a well-known British physician, Sir Adolphe Abrahams, pointed out recently that hearts and bodies need proper exercise. A person who avoids exercise is more likely to have illnesses than one who exercises regularly.And walking is an ideal form of exercise--- the most familiar and natural of all.It was Henry Thoreau who showed mankind the richness of going on foot. The man walking can learn about trees, flowers, insects, birds and animals, the significance of seasons, and the very feel of himself as a living creature in a living world. He cannot learn in a car.The car is a convenient means of transport, but we have made it our way of life. Many people don’t dare to approach nature any more; to them the world they were born to enjoy is all threat. To them security is a steel river thundering on a concrete road. And much of their thinking takes place while waiting for the traffic light to turn green.I say that the green of forests is the mind’s best light. And none but t he man on foot can evaluate what is basic and everlasting.4 . What is the national sickness?A. Walking too much.B. Traveling too much.C. Driving cars too much.D. Climbing stairs too much..5. What was life like when the author was young?A. People usually went around on foot.B. People often walked 23 miles a day.C. People used to climb the Statue of Liberty.D. People considered a ten-hour walk as a hardship.6. The author mentions Henry Thoreau to prove that________.A. middle-aged people like getting back to natureB. walking in nature helps enrich one’s mindC. people need regular exercise to keep fitD. going on foot prevents heart disease7. What is the author’s intention of writing this passage?A. To tell people to reflect more on life.B. To recommend people to give up driving.C. To advise people to do outdoor activities.D. To encourage people to return to walking.CTeary Joe was a boy with a special ability: he could make himself cry in less than a second. If he disliked something, or things became difficult, Teary Joe would not hesitate to put on a pitiful face and set great big tears running down his cheeks. In this way he managed to get practically everything he wanted, because no one could resist the pity inspired by his tearful little face.But one day, Teary Joe met Pipo. Pipo was asking people in the street for some change, in return for him helping them in any way he could. Pipo was very poor; he had no home and no family, so he made a living however he could. Even so, Pipo always had the biggest smiles on his face.Joe took to Pipo, so he decided to help him out in making some money. He went over next to Pipo, took off his hat, put it face-up on the ground, and started crying with the most pitiful of expressions. In a few minutes, Joe’s hat was full of coins and sweets, but when Joe offered all this t o Pipo, Pipo declined. “I prefer deserving what I receive,” answered Pipo with his usual smile, “It’s much more fun making an effort to get things. Maybe I haven’t gotten everything I’ve wanted, but I’ve done a load of interesting things.” Teary Joe didn’t answer; he just walked sadly away. Joe had got everything he wanted, but he’d done practically nothing of interest the whole day.That evening, having returned home, Joe requested a delicious cake for his supper. When his mother said no, Joe tried to cry but, remembering Pipo and how joyful he was, he tried to get the cake in some other way. Joe spent the whole evening helping his mother to water the plants and organize the library books.In the end there was no cake. But that wasn’t so bad, because Joe discovered it had been much more fun doing all those things that evening rather than just sitting crying to get a piece of cake that, in the end, wouldn’t have been worth it.8.According to the passage, Teary Joe ________ .A. relied on others’ sym pathy beforeB. was joyful in his lifeC. hated working hardD. was a naughty boy9.Teary Joe sadly walked away because he ________.A. considered that Pipo was very poorB. realized he shouldn’t change his life styleC. didn’t get delicious cake for supperD. got everything he wanted without delight10.Joe’s attitude towards Pipo’s getting things by making efforts was _______.A. ridiculousB. faultyC. dou btfulD. admirable11.What can be inferred about Teary Joe?A. He doesn’t have home and is poor.B. He still prefers crying to getting things.C. He built up true friendship with Pipo.D. He was greatly influenced by Pipo.DFilmmaker Jennifer Nelson had to pay $1,300 to have “Happy Birthday to You” sung in the movie she’s making. The money went to Warner Music Group, a company that claims to own the copyright on the song. A copyright is the legal right to use or sell a creative product such as a song, a TV show, a book, or a work of art. Warner has claimed the copyright for “Happy Birthday to You” since 1988.“I never thought the song was owned by anyone,” Nelson said in an e-mail to The New York Times. “I thought it belonged to everyone.”Nelson’s movie is a documentar y — a film that uses pictures and/or interviews withpeople to create a factual report of real-life events —and is actually about the history of the “Happy Birthday” song itself.Two sisters named Mildred and Patty Hill wrote a so ng called “Good Morning to All” in 1893. Over a short period of time, people began to sing the words “happy birthday to you” in place of the original lyrics to the tune of the Hill sisters’ song.A number of history experts say that there is no recor d of who actually wrote the “Happy Birthday to You” lyrics. Historians also say there is no way to know when the general public began singing the “Happy Birthday” song, but they believe it was being sung by the public long before it was printed and owned by a company.Nelson’s lawyers say this piece of music’s history proves that “Happy Birthday to You” belongs to everyone in the general public. That would mean Warner Music Group has no right to charge anyone a fee to sing the son g in any setting.Experts estimate that Warner/ Chappell, the publishing division of the Warner Music Group, has made about $2 million a year from licensing fees for “Happy Birthday to You.”Nelson’s lawyers are asking a court in New York City to order Warner/Chappell to return fees they have collected over th e past four years for use of the “Happy Birthday” song.12. Jennifer Nelson had to pay Warner Music Group to ____________.A. own the copyright on a songB. have a song sung in her movieC. have it play a song in her movieD. have it write a so ng for her movie13. The history experts’ statement can prove that the “Happy Birthday” song ____________.A. has always been very popularB. has more than 200 years’ historyC. does not belong to Warner Music GroupD. was initially owned by another company14 . According to Nelson’s lawyers, to sing the “Happy Birthday” song, people ____________.A. should pay the Hill sistersB. need not pay for any purposeC. should pay Warner Music GroupD. need not pay except for commercial use15. If the court supports Nelson’s lawyers’ claim, ____________.A. Warner will return about $8 millionB. she can obtain the copyright on the songC. Warner will have to pay her for her damagesD. she only needs to pay a little money to use the song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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
