AI remember the first time that I was extremely happy. I wasabout 8 years old when for the first time, there was a computer in the classroom. I remember that my teacher allowed each student to take turns to play various educational games on the computer. One day, I found the source code(编码)for one of these games. Without knowing or being taught any programming language, I was able to figure out some of the BASIC code. I just gave myself an infinite number of lives in the game, so I could continue playing it forever. This was also my first introductionto algebra, and I didn't even know it at the time. This was a decisive moment in my life. I was quite excited because of what I was learningand what I was able to do. As a result, I was enthusiastic for the rest of my life about self learning and computers, and I was quite happydoing them too.I've noticed that people who are truly content with life are enthusiastic about what they do. This enthusiasm, along with good health, is the key to being happy. It also leads to self-confidence and content in life too. It may also lead to success, wealth, and achievements.Success, wealth, or achievements can also bring some people happiness, yet I know plenty of rich people who are unhappy. I know many people with successful businesses that are not happy with what they are doing. I know people who continuously buy themselves new toys, such as cars, computers, and televisions, yet never seem content for too long. Please remember, happiness is the journey of life, not the destination.21. What can we know from Paragraph 1?A. The author has a great talent for algebra.B. Creative thinking is necessary for every child.C. The BASIC code of the computer is not difficult.D. The author's experience in his childhood changed his life.22.

The author wants to tell us through his experience in the school thatA. interest is the best teacherB. children are the hope of the futureC. young people are fearlessD. where there's a will, there's a way24.

I mean the teenager problem. Whatever you do or however you choose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful, reasonable and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal.I've seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son, right from a child, should stand up whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman. I saw him last week when I called round. Sprawling (懒散地躺))himself on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at me. His mother was ashamed. “I don’t knowwhat to do with him these days,” she said. “He’s forgotten all the manners we taught him.” He hasn’t forgotten them. He’s just decided that he’s not going to use them. She confessed (坦白 ) that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from the sofa onto the floor.Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the table, stare at me and say, “I don’t like your dress; it’s ugly. ” One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school. The other has left home.“Where did we go wrong?” Her parents are now very sad. Probably nowhere much. At least, no more than the rest of that unfortunate race, parents.25.

Parents should work more closely with school teachers.D. Parents are at fault for the change in their children.CLife in the ClearTransparent animals let light pass through their bodies the same way light passes through a window. These animals typically live between the surface of the ocean and a depth of about 3,300 feet—as far as most light can reach. Most of them are extremely delicate and can be damaged by a simple touch. Sonke Johnsen, a scientist in biology, says, “These animals live through their life alone. They never touch anything unless they’re eating it, or unless something is eating them.”And they are as clear as glass. How does an animal become see-through? It’s trickier than you might think.The objects around you are visible because they interact with light. Light typically travels in a straight line. But some materials slow and scatter(散射) light, bouncing it away from its original path. Others absorb light, stopping it dead in its tracks. Both scattering and absorption make an object look different from other objects around it, so you can see it easily.But a transparent object doesn’t absorb or scatter light, at least not very much, Light can pass through it without bending orsto pping. That means a transparent object doesn’t look very different from the surrounding air or water. You don’t see it—you see the things behind it.To become transparent, an animal needs to keep its body from absorbing or scattering light. Living materials can stop light because they contain pigments(色素) that absorb specific colors of light. But a transparent animal doesn’t have pigments, so its tissues won’t absorb light. According to Johnsen, avoiding absorption is actually easy. The real challenge is preventing light from scattering.Animals are built of many different materials—skin, fat, and more—and light moves through each at a different speed. Every timelight moves into a material with a new speed, it bends and scatters. Transparent animals use different tricks to fight scattering. Some animals are simply very small or extremely flat. Without much tissue to scatter light, it is easier to be see—through. Others build a large, clear mass of non-living jelly-lie(果冻状的) material and spread themselves over it .Larger transparent animals have the biggest challenge, because they have to make all the different tissues in their bodies slow down light exactly as much as water does. They need to look uniform. But how they’re doing it is still unknown. One thing is clear for these larger animals, staying transparent is an active process. When they die, they turn a non-transparent milky white.29.According to Paragraph 1, transparent animals _______.A. stay in groupsB. can be easily damagedC. appear only in deep oceanD. are beautiful creatures30.The underlined word “dead” in Paragraph 3 means __________.A. silentlyB. graduallyC. regularlyD. completely31.One way for an animal to become transparent is to ________.A. change the direction of light travelB. gather materials to scatter lightC. avoid the absorption of lightD. grow bigger to stop light32.The last paragraph tells us that larger transparent animals ________.A. move more slowly in deep waterB. stay see-through even after deathC. produce more tissues for their survivalD. take effective action to reduce light spreadingDDid you know that a bowl of rice could save your iPod if youdrop it in a swimming pool by accident? Or that the camera on your phone could tell you what's wrong with your TV remote control? The experts at Geek Squad () have made a gadget(小机件) rescue guide. So, let’s take a look at some of their useful advice.How to get more juice out of your phone battery?If your battery goes dead but you need to get a number or send one last text, try warming it up. That may give you a tiny bit of power. Take the battery from the phone and rub it between your hands. Or warmit under your arm for a few minutes. Then try to start the phone – but use it quickly.What to do if your gadget gets wet?First, try drying it out with a vacuum cleaner. If a vacuum cleaner isn’t at hand, fill a pot or bowl with uncooked rice and put your we gadget inside. The dry, uncooked rice will absorb all the water and, after a few hours, you should be able to use the gadget. Don’t forget to remove the battery and SIM card before you dry it.What to do if your TV remote control stops working?If replacing the batteries doesn’t work, get the camerafunction up on your phone and point the remote at the lens(镜头). When you press a button on the remote, if it's working then the glassbobble(小球) at the front of the remote will light up when you look atit on the screen of your phone. This is because the screen on a phone or digital camera picks up infrared rays (红外线), even though your eyesdon't. If the glass bobble doesn’t light up, the remote is broken. Ifit does, the receiving device is broken.33. If your cell phone falls into a sink, you can .A. warm it up under your arm.B. put it into the uncooked rice.C. press it with both of your hands.D. remove the battery after you dry it.34.Why can a phone be used to prove the TV remote control works well?A.

In which section of a newspaper can we possibly read this text?A. EntertainmentB. FinanceC. CultureD. Life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。
