AMy parents divorced when I was 5, making my mother a single parent. We had little money, but my mom gave me a lot of love. Each night, she sat me on her lap and spoke the words that would change my life,“Kemmons, you are certain to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it.”At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never walk again. Every day, my mother spoke to me in he gentle, loving voice, telling me that no matter what those doctors said, I could walk again if I wanted to badly enough. She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her. A year later, I returned to school—walking on my own!When the Great Depression（大萧条）occurred, my mom lost her job. Then I left school to support the family. At that moment, I was determined never to be poor again.My real change occurred on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951. I was angry that the second-class hotel charged an extra $2 for each child. That was too expensive for the average American family. I decided to open a motel（汽车旅馆）for families that would never charge extra for children. There were plenty of doubters at that time.Not surprisingly, mother was one of my strongest supporters. We experienced a lot of challenges. But with my mother’s words deeply rooted in my soul, I never doubted we would succeed. Fifteen years later, we had the largest hotel system in the world—Holiday Inn. In 1979 my company had 1,759 inns in more that fifty countries with an income of $ 1 billion a year.You may not have started out life in the best situation. But if you can find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you.21.When Kemmons was a little child, what his mother usually told him was .A.funny.B.touchingC.fightingD.encouraging22.Form the author’s view, who played the most important part in making him walk back to school again?A.

Tasks are scheduled so tightly that break times are often used to finish the day’s work. This type of schedule is far too demanding for long missions on the International Space Station (ISS). ISS crewmembers usually live in space for at least a quarter of a year. They work five days on and two days off to mimic the normal way they do things on Earth as much as possible. Weekends give the crew valuable time to rest and do a few hours of housework. They can communicate with family and friends by email. Internet phone and through private video conferences.While astronauts cannot go to a football game or a movie in space, there are many familiar activities that they can still enjoy. Before a mission the family and friends of each ISS crewmember put together a collection of family photos, messages, videos and reading material for the astronauts to look at when they will be floating 370 kilometers above the Earth. During their mission, the crew also receives care packages with CDs, books, magazines, photos and letters. And as from early 2010, the internet became available on the ISS, giving astronauts the chance to do some “Web surfing” in their personal time. Besides relaxing with these more common entertainments, astronauts can simply enjoy the experience of living in space.Many astronauts say that one of the most relaxing things to do in space is to look out of the window and stare at the universe and the Earth. Both the shuttle and the ISS circle the planet several times each day, and every moment.29．In Paragraph I, wh at does the word “mimic” mean?A．Admit B．Cover C．Change D．Copy30．According to the context, which of the following best describes the families of the astronauts on the ISS?A．They are excited and faseinaeedB．They are worried and upsetC．They are patient and annoyedD．They are caring and thoughtful31．In the last paragraph, the writer shows that astronauts .A．get more pleasure in space, than on the EarthB．love to see the Earth from spaceC．regard space life as commonD．find living in space a bit boring and tiring32．The passage mainly discusses how astronauts .A．work for shorter missions in spaceB．love to see the Earth from spaceC．regard space life as commonD．find living in space a bit boring and tiring33．The passage mainly discusses how astronauts .A．work for shorter missions in spaceB．spend their time in spaceC．observe the Earth from spaceD．connect with people on the EarthDAs a recent research shows that the more teenagers watch television, the more likely they are to develop depression（抑郁症）as young adults.The researchers used a nationwide long-term survey of adolescent（青少年的）healthy to investigate（调查）the relationship between media use and depression. They based their findings on more than four thousand adolescents who were not depressed when the survey began in 2000.As part of the survey, the young people were asked how many hours of television or videos they watched daily. They were also asked how often they played computer games and listened to the radio. Modia use totaled an average of five and one-half hours a day. More than two hours of that was spent watching TV.Seven years later, in 2007, more than seven percent of the young people had signs of depression. The average age at that time was twenty one.The researchers say they did not find an such relationship with the use of other media such as movies, video games of radio etc. But the study did find that every extra hour of television meant aneight percent increase in the chances of deveioping signs of depression. Young men were more likely than young women to develop depression given the same amount of media use.The study didn’t explore if watching TV causes depression. But one possibility is that it was taking time away from activities that could help prevent depression.Last December, the journal Social Indieators Research published a study of activities that help lead to happy lives. Sociologists from the University of Maryland found that people who describe themselves as happy spend less time watching television than unhappy people. The study found that happy people are more likely to be socially active, to read, attend religious services and to vote. 33．What is the best title of this passage?A．Media Use is Harmful to AdolescentsB．Men Develop Depression Easier than WomenC．Teens, Television and DepressionD．Take Great care of Teenager’s depreddion34．The result of the research seems to indicate .A．teenagers are more likely to develop depression than adoltsB．other media uses do no harm to adolescentsC．those who watch no TV will not develop depressionD．TV probably causes teenagers to grow up with depression35．It can be inferred from the passage that .A．longer use of media other than TV doesn’t increase the chance of depressionB．every extra hour of media use increases the chaoce of depressionC．depression is related to the use of other modal other than TVD．the influence of movies, video games and radio on depression varies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。
