I was in 49 nine．We went for a walk．We knew we were going for a kiss．I took her to the back of the church, it was like the local 50 lane．It was the first kiss that 51 to me, she was special．I knew then that we were 52 for each other．I 53 her home and I phoned her as soon as I got in and asked her for a proper54 ．Again, she said yes．As weeks 55 to months, I realized how much in love I was by the way my life hadchanged from simply rushing out on to the street after school to play．36．A．stage B．period C．grade D．scale 37．A．hang B．march C．move D．play 38．A．belief B．common C．thought D．expectation 39．A．for B．as C．while D．when 40．A．was accustomed B．tried C．used D．would like 41．A．frank B．anxious C．clever D．shy 42．A．anxiously B．hopelessly C．helplessly D．desperately 43．A．had B．pretended C．learned D．fancied 44．A．test B．check C．examination D．look 45．A．chance B．time C．favor D．courage 46．A．loads B．letters C．burdens D．invitation 47．A．friendly B．excellent C．serious D．weak 48．A．chain B．handbag C．load D．dictionary 49．A．grade B．cloud C．road D．class 50．A．students’B．people’s C．lovers’D．players’51．A．inspired B．mattered C．returned D．awarded 52．A．found B．cared C．made D．claimed 53．A．got B．walked C．sent D．rode 54．A．marriage B．appointment C．home-stay D．date 55．A．turned B．led C．went D．cameAAs Amy Hagadorn rounded the corner across the hall from her classroom, she collided with a tall boy from the fifth grade running in the opposite direction．“Watch it, Squirt,” the boy yelled, as he moved quickly around the little third grader．Then, with a self-satisfied smile on his face, the boy took hold of his right leg and imitated the way Amy limped when she walked．Amy closed her eyes for a moment．‘Ignore him,’ she told herself as she headed for her classroom．But at the end of the day, Amy was still thinking about the tall boy's mean teasing．It wasn'tas if he were the only one．It seemed that ever since Amy started the third grade, someone teased her every single day．Kids teased her about her speech or her limping．Amy was tired of it．Sometimes, even in a classroom full of other students, the teasing made her feel all alone．Back home at the dinner table that evening Amy was quiet．Her mother knew that things were not going well at school．That's why Patti Hagadorn was happy to have some exciting news to share with her daughter．“There's a Christmas Wish Contest on the radio station,” Amy's mom announced．“Write a letter to Santa and you might win a prize．I think someone at this table with blond curly hair should enter．”Amy giggled．The contest sounded like fun．She started thinking about what she wanted most for Christmas．A smile took hold of Amy when the idea first came to her．Out came pencil and paper and Amy went to work on her letter．“Dear Santa Claus,” she began．While Amy worked away at her best printing, the rest of the family tried to guess what she might ask from Santa．Amy's sister, Jamie, and Amy's mom both thought a 3-foot Barbie Doll would top Amy's wish list．Amy's dad guessed a picture book．But Amy wasn't ready to reveal her secret Christmas wish just then．Here is Amy's letter to Santa, just as she wrote it that night: Dear Santa Claus,My name is Amy．I am 9 years old．I have a problem at school．Can you help me, Santa? Kids laugh at me because of the way I walk and run and talk．I have cerebral palsy．I just want one day where no one laughs at me or makes fun of me．Love,Amy56．What does the underlined word “collided” in paragraph 1 me an?A．conflicted B．knocked C．met D．bumped 57．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A．Amy reasoned with the kids who teased her．B．Amy complained to her parents．C．Amy’s parents persuaded her to enter the Ch ristmas Wish Contest．D．Amy was a little disabled．58．What does the passage suggest to the readers?A．Amy was lonely and helpless．B．Little graders hoped for Christmas presents．C．Everyone deserved respect, dignity and warmth．D．Love from parents was above all．59．What is probably the best title for the test?A．Amy’s Christmas Wish B．Amy’s Christmas PresentC．Amy’s Christmas Prize D．Amy’s Christmas ContestBA HOLIDAY jet pilot said that he would land and call the police after a woman refused to stop smoking．He warned Maureen , “Put that cigarette out, or I’ll land the plane and have you arrested．”Maureen, 47, was so shocked she wrote to the airline’s chairman．But his reply was even ruder．“You seem to think you have a God-given right to pollute your neighbors’ atmosphere,” wrote John Ferriday of Paramount Airways．（a）Said Maureen, “I only found out about it when I was checking in．I’m a nervous flyer so I lit a cigarette during the flight．A stewardess asked me to put it out, but I said I wanted to carry on as there was no rule against smoking on the plane．” She was just finishing her cigarette when the pilot arrived．（b）I have never seen such an unpleasant letter．She said, “I don’t think I’ll ever fly again．” But there was a funny side．Maureen explained, “We were offered duty-free cigarette from the stewardess on the plane!”（c）Mr.Ferriday went on; “Believe me, you haven’t．Especially when you travel on my planes．”（d）“He was loud and rude,” said Maureen．“He said if I li t another cigarette he would land the plane at Bordeaux and hand me to the French police．”Maureen and her husband Michael were moved to Paramount flight just before they left Portugal．But they were not told of the company’ s no smoking policy．Later, from her home in Birmingham, Maureen wrote to the company and received the rude reply．60．The second half of the story has been in wrong order．（Parts a-d）Choose the rearranged orderwhich you think is right．A．a, c, b, d B．c, a, b, d C．c, a, d, b D．d, a, b, c 61．What was Maureen warned to do by the pilot?A．The pilot said that she must throw her cigarette out of the plane, or he would get her off the plane．B．The pilot said she must stop smoking immediately; otherwise he would bring down the jet and hand her to the police．C．The pilot said that she couldn’t lit another cigarette after her first one．D．The pilot said that he would get her arrested by the police if she kept on smoking．62．In the answer letter to Maureen, the airline’s chairman ____ ．A．made an apology to her for his worker’s rudenessB．made sure that he would solve the problemC．said that she had the right to smoke on his plane because the right is given by God to everyone．D．actually completely agreed with what the pilot said63．From the story we can see that the writer probably takes the side of ____ ．A．the pilot B．the airline’s chairman C．the stewardess D．MaureenCIn the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning．If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention．The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p．m．If someone receives a call during sleeping hours , he assumes it's a matter of life or death．The time chosen for the call communicates its importance．In social life, time plays a very important part．In the U．S．A．guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date．But it is not true in all countries．In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten．The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world．Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from cultures that treat time differently．Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example．If people are not prompt,they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible．In the U．S．no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour , it would be too impolite ．A person who is 5 minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence．64．Supposing one wants to make a telephone call at dawn, this would mean________．A．the matter is of value B．the matter is somewhat importantC．the matter requires immediate attention D．it is a matter of life and death 65．According to this passage , time plays an important role in _________．A．everyday life B．school life C．communications D．private life 66．The best title for this passage is_________．A．the voices of time B．the importance of timeC．the importance of an announcement D．time and tide wait for no man 67．According to the passage, the author of the article may agree with which of the following statements?A. It is appropriate to send your invitation cards three or four days before a dinner party date in U.S.A.B．It may be appropriate to send your invitation to your guests three or four days before a dinner party date in some cultures．C．It is best for one to make telephone calls at night because it costs much less．D．If one is less than 5 minutes late, he has to make a short apology．DIf life seems more rushed than ever, you might be surprised to learn that we Americans don't have less leisure time than we did 40 years ago．We actually have more leisure time, and quite a bit more．What counts as leisure is up for argument, but under every definition the numbers have gone up．We get about 45 minutes a day of extra leisure．Then why does it feel like we have so much less? It might be because we waste half of all our leisure time watching television．The average American adult devotes 2．5 hours a day to this hobby．And for every additional hour we get free, another 30 minutes goes into that boob tube （=TV）．So if you want more free time, I recommend one thing: turn it off．This is easier said than done, especially during the world series．When I was growing up, my mom had one piece of advice for me, and she said it every single morning．'Get out of the house!' It's good advice．Come join the 6．8 million who are in a book club, or the 196,000 who attend pro beach volleyball, or the 680,000 who go to tractor pulls every month．There are even 3 million people who enjoy a sport called ‘muzzle loading,’ which involves shooting a gun that looks 200 years old．And at the end of the day, there's a thing in your kitchen called a stove．Turn it on and invite people over．Only 38% of Americans entertain friends or family at home at least once a year．What were the other 62% of us doing? Getting a free meal, I suppose．We can do better, America．If we're going to watch so much television, can't we at least invite friends over to watch? 68．The main idea of the passage is _______．A．to teach readers how to increase leisure timeB．to persuade readers to watch TV with othersC．to introduce different social activities to readersD．to recommend various ways of spending leisure time69．According to the passage, how many social activities does the author come up with?A．3 B．4 C．5 D．670．We can infer form the passage that _______．A．Americans have less leisure time than they did 40 years agoB．Americans tend to spend part of their time watching TVC．American mothers dislike their children staying at homeD．Americans treat their family or friends frequently71．The writer’s attitude towards solving the problem is _______．A．positive B．negative C．puzzled D．toughEIn a survey released on Thursday, more than 7,000 Beijing residents assessed the capital as average in terms of living conditions．Most agreed that it is convenient to live in Beijing as far as the facilities for shopping, leisure time activities, education and medical care are concerned．But they do not agree that life is comfortable here．Such a survey sends a message that how a city functions to provide its citizens with suitable living conditions is a concern for many urbanites（都市人）although it will take some time beforethis concern finds a place on the agenda（议程）of city planners and administrators．In the past more than two decades, economic development has always been considered as the top priority for most cities．The focus on economic growth has left almost no room on the agenda of urban planners and administrators for attention to suitable living conditions for their urban residents．Economic development is undoubtedly the important foundation for improving living conditions, and has improved living standards considerably for most urban residents in the past two decades．But when it is made the ultimate goal of our life, and people are forced to give up their living comforts for the realization of a certain growth rate, the quality of urban life can be negatively affected．There are instances of development just for the sake of being considered development. Witness the destroy of buildings still in sound quality to make room for new structures, repeated change of bricks on pavements and the re- paving of roads．These economic activities lead to noise and environmental pollution and traffic jams．They worsen living conditions and even make it impossible for residents in many cities to lead a normal life．T o a certain extent, some part of a city’s economic growth is achievable only at the expense of the living environment for urbanites．It is high time the city authorities gave a thought to the relationship between economic growth and living conditions in the cities．Beijing, for example, as a capital city, may put more efforts into developing its service sector, tourism and culture industry, which is not likely to cause pollution．Precaution needs to be employed in the considerations for city renovations and construction projects, which tend to affect the life of residents negatively．If the concern for making life easier and more comfortable is always on the minds of the city authorities and on their working agenda, economic development can be realized with suitable living standards．72．The function of using the survey is ________．A．to introduce the serious living condition in BeijingB．to attract readers attention on living conditionsC．to show what city planners should do about the agendaD．to prove contradiction between development and life73．The passage suggests that ________．A．most people in Beijing are living an uncomfortable life here nowB．economic development is undoubtedly the most important to the citiesC．living conditions need taking into account when we develop the economy D．economic development must have some bad effects on our life74．The underlined word “they” in paragraph 5 refers to ________．A．economic activities B．traffic jamsC．the destructions of buildings D．repeated changes of bricks 75．The best title of this passage can be _________．A．Keep Our Cities Comfortable B．Make Cities More Livable C．Slow Down Economic Development D．Stop Polluting City Life As a college student, I have still planned my future 76．____________ career goals．After the graduation, I’d like to work 77．____________ first as a sales assistant in a computer’s company, then 78．____________ a manager and finally boss of my own business．I 79．____________ plan to find a job in a key company produces computers, 80．____________ there both hygiene and motivation are carefully taken 81．____________ into consideration and all the staff is getting well．82．____________ Such a company can provide me good working 83．___________ atmosphere and eager to learn more so that I can get 84．____________ prepared for my future profession and be a promised man．85．____________ 根据下面图中的相关信息写一篇以“成才之路”为题的短文。

AWhen you're on the go, your best friend and resource can be your phone. In the age of smart phones, apps arelike guiding stars: They can point you in the right direction for a hotel, list expenses, send postcards, and much more. When used together, these apps can be the basic travel tool, placing a wealth of information at your fingertips no matter where you are on the planet. U.S. News Travel has picked the essential travel apps, known for their utility and reliability. Best of all, they cost absolutely nothing.Trip ItYour Personal Travel AgentBe your own travel agent and plan every detail of your trip —from car rental to accomadating restaurants —with Trip It. You can make travel schedule by hand, or simply forward the email confirmations of your flight, rental car, train tickets, and hotels to plans.Weather FreeYour Go-To Meteorologist(气象学者)Stop trying to explain the weather forecast on the evening news (particularly when it's in a foreign language). The Weather Free app informs you (in English) of the climate in various locations. It features the local weather, and other key factors that will inform your decision about what to wear before stepping outside.GobyYour Event GuruWhen you're in a foreign city, you sometimes look around and ask: Where are all the people? Goby has the answer. This app pinpoints the neighborhood hot spots (including museums, hotels, eateries, and more) in your neighborhood. But its true value comes in finding nearby events. You'll discover concerts, plays, and more right around the corner.21. What is the advantage of using travel apps picked by the U.S. News Travel?A. They can solve any problem you come across.B. They reduce your travel budget.C. They exercise your fingertips.D. They are reliable and free of charge.22. With the help of the travel apps used together, travelers can do the following things EXCEPT__________.A. rent a carB. decide what to wear 湖北省 华师一附中 黄冈中学 黄石二中 荆州中学襄阳四中 襄阳五中 孝感高中 鄂南高中 八校C. look for a friend while travelingD. find the nearby museums23. Where are the readers likely to read the passage above?A. In a geography textbookB. In a science and technology magazineC. On a popular websiteD. In a business reportBBorn in the State of New York on May 14th, 1984, Mark Zuckerberg was an instant success. In his high school years, he was considered one of top students in the classics, before moving into the arts, sciences, and literature, again picking up high marks and receiving academic praise. It earned him admission to Harvard University.As a rebellious yet relatively quiet student, he created a website called Facemash in the university–an instantly controversial website that encouraged students to rate each other based on appearance.The site was controversial for several reasons. The first was its illegal use of photographs, which the university and students took issue with. The second was its controversial nature –not every student like being ranked based on their appearance. The third was its huge resource use – while it was hosted on Harvard servers, it was the most popular page in the university’s en tire network.Zuckerberg was soon forced to shut the site down, but its popularity and controversy had made him consider its future potential. He soon turned the simple site into a personal one for Harvard students, encouraging them to network with their peers at the college. It was then, together with his two friends, that they launched “The Facebook‖, which immediately spread to other colleges and grew into a public service that anyone could access in the United States, whether to network with friends and family, or to play games.The company has been criticized frequently, nevertheless, Zuckerberg has remained true to his initial vision –to create a website that the entire world can use to communicate openly and easily with one another and to keep the user experience clean and pure. The end result is one of the world’s biggest online businesses.Although its true value is debatable, it’s safe to say that Facebook, and its creator Mark Zuckerberg, are two of the twenty-first century’s most infl uential, controversial, and potentially powerful figures.24. When Mark Zuckerberg was a student, he_____________________.A. was often praised by teachers for the website he createdB. had good academic performanceC. alone created a website called FacebookD. encouraged students to set up business like him25. The reason why Zuckerberg shut the site down was probably that__________.A. his website was not popularB. he was doubted for the way he used photographsC. he needed time to reconsider his choiceD. he stole resource on Harvard server26.Which words can best describe Zuckerberg?A. easy-going and smart.B. quiet and shy.C. talented and outgoing.D. rebellious and creative.27. The best title of the passage should be________________.A. Mark Zuckerberg and his FacebookB. The Foundation of FacebookC. A Talent from Harvard UniversityD. The Development of FacebookCHave you ever found yourself in this situation: You hear a song you used to sing when you were a child – a bit of nostalgia(怀旧) or ―blast from the past,‖ as we say. But it is not a distant childhood memory. The words come back to you as clearly as when you sang them all those years ago.Researchers at the University of Edinburgh studied the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. They found that remembering words in a song was the best way to remember even one of the most difficult languages.Here is what they did. Researchers took 60 adults and randomly divided them into three groups of 20. Then they gave the groups three different types of ―listen-and-repeat‖ learning conditions. Researchers had one group simply speak the words. They had the second group speak the words to a rhythm, or beat. And they asked the third group to sing the words.All three groups studied words from the Hungarian language for 15 minutes. Then they took part in a series of language tests to see what they remembered.Why Hungarian, you ask? Researchers said they chose Hungarian because not many people know the language. It does not share any roots with Germanic or Romance languages, such as Italian or Spanish. After the tests were over, the singers came out on top. The people who learned these new Hungarian words by singing them showed a higher overall performance. They did the best in four out of five of the tests. They also performed two times better than those who simply learned the words by speaking them.Dr. Katie Overy says singing could lead to new ways to learn a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things when they are contained in a catchy 3, or memorable 4, tune 5.Dr. Ludke said the findings could help those who struggle to learn foreign languages. On the University of Edinburgh’s website Dr. Ludke writes, ―This study provides the first experimental evidence that a listen-and-repeat singing method can support foreign language learning, and opens the door for future research in this area.‖28. The ―song‖ mentioned in the first paragraph is intended to__________.A. recall the pastB. attract the readersC. introduce the topicD. compare the childhood with the present29. According to the passage which language doesn’t share the same root with Germanic or Romance languages?A. HungarianB. SpanishC. ItalianD. English30. Based on the last two paragraphs, we can conclude that __________A. singing is the best way to learn a language.B. the brain probably works best when the foreign language learners sing the words.C. a listen-repeat method is very effective for any language learner.D. Dr. Katie Overy and Dr. Ludke disagree with each other.31. In which situation can the finding of the research be applied?A. A mother is going to teach her baby how to speak.B. A child is going to have his first music lesson.C. A student is going to learn a new English song.D. An American is going to learn some Chinese.DWalt Disney World is banning selfie-sticks from its theme parks because selfie-sticks have become a growing safety concern for both our guests and cast," Disney World spokeswoman Kim Prunty said.Under a new policy, which takes effect Tuesday, the poles won’t make it past the bag check at any Disney World theme park. The sticks also won't be allowed in Disney World water parks or Disney Quest, a gaming attraction at Downtown Disney. Selfie-sticks will also become forbidden at Disneyland Resort in California on June 30. The prohibition begins at Disney's parks in Paris and Hong Kong on July 1.Guests will be checked for the equipment during the routine bag check that happens near the parks' entrances. They will have an option of turning in their selfie-sticks for pick-up later or to go back to their cars or hotel rooms to keep them. Visitors will be told of the policy in locations such as the parking lots and at the resort's hotels. The prohibition will be added to the park rules post on Disney World's website.The issue has been building at Disney. Previously, the sticks were prohibited from its rides, and "no selfie-sticks" signs were at select rides, such as Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Magic Kingdom. Cast members have given oral warnings to rule breakers.Selfie-stick users put smartphones and cameras on the ends of poles to extend their reach, frequently capturing theme-park moments through self-portraits. The tools have been banned in public places –including some museums and stadiums – worldwide for obstructing views or causing safety issues.Disney World already prohibits items such as skateboards, inline skates, wagon, folding chairs and glass containers, according to its o fficial website, which also lists ―other items that we determine may be harmful .‖Universal Orlando has banned selfie-sticks and other loose items from certain thrill rides at Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure theme parks, but it has not set parkwide bans.32.Which of the following objects has already been banned in Disney theme parks before the new policy takes effect?A. smart phonesB. folding chairsC. camerasD. containers33. According to the ban, if the guests are found carrying selfie-sticks during the routine bagcheck, they may __________.A. abandon them at the bag checkB. get fined and pick them up laterC. turn them in to the policeD. put them in the trunk of their cars34. The underlined word in the fifth paragraph probably means__________.A. changingB. broadeningC. blockingD. narrowing35. According to the passage, it can be inferred that__________A. the ban on the use of selfie-sticks is aimed at ensuring security.B. previously guests can take photos with selfie-sticks on thrill rides.C. the staff in Disneyland will inform visitors of the ban only orally.D. Universal Orlando has banned selfie-sticks parkwide.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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

AChinese female scientist Tu Youyou won the 2015 Nobel Prize in medicine on October 5 for her discoveries concerning a novel treatment against Malaria（疟疾）. This is the first Nobel Prize given to a Chinese scientist for work carried out within China.Tu shared the prize with Irish-born William Campbell and Satoshi Omura of Japan, who were honored for their revolutionary anti-roundworm treatment. 84-year-old Tu is awarded this prize for her contribution to cutting the death rate of malaria, reducing patients‘ suffering and promoting mankind‘s health. Al though she received several medical awards in the past, the 2015 Nobel Prize is definitely the most privilege reward that recognizes Tu‘s dedication and perseverance in discovering artemisinin（青蒿素）, the key drug that battles malaria-friendly parasites（寄生虫）.However, her route to the honor has been anything but traditional. She won the Nobel Prize for medicine, but she doesn‘t have a medical degree or a PhD. In China, she is even being called the ―three-noes‖ winner: no medical degree, no doctorate, and she‘s never worked overseas. No wonder her success has stirred China‘s national pride and helped promote confidence of native Chinese scientists.The fact that Tu has none of these three backgrounds reminds us that science should be more accessible to all. One shall be able to become a scientist no matter what kind of background he orshe comes from, as long as one dives into scientific research. There have been discussions on people who really love science but are never able to achieve much during their whole life. Their contributions can never be ignored. They work so hard to prove the wrong way so that the future researchers will be closer to the right one.As the first Chinese mainland Nobel Prize Winner of natural science award, Tu‘s record-breaking winning also serves as a reminder to those who are too eager for instant success. Science is never about instant success. Tu spent decades on scientific research before its value is officially acknowledged. There is no way to measure how much one devotes to science and compare it with how much reward he or she may get.21. It can be concluded from the text that __________.A. Tu worked home and abroad to conduct her researchB. Tu got the Nobel Prize for her anti-roundworm treatmentC. The Nobel Prize is the first award to recognize her workD. Her discovery of artemisinin has helped to cut Malaria death rate22. The author seems to agree that a person who is more likely to become a scientist is the one with__________.A. a sense of national prideB. relevant academic knowledgeC. a desire to achieve successD. enthusiasm for scientific research23. In writing the passage, the author intends to ___________.A. inform readers of the news and make commentsB. discourage the pursuit of instant success in scienceC. remind readers of the principles of scientific researchD. praise the award winner and encourage scientific researchBSince the beginning of time never has there been another with my mind, my heart, my eyes, my ears, my hands, my mouth. None that came before, none that live today, and none that come tomorrow can walk and talk and move and think exactly like me. I‘m a unique creature.Vain attempts to imitate others no longer will I make. Instead will I place my uniqueness on display in the market place. I will begin now to highlight my differences; hide my similarities.I am rare, and therefore I am valuable. I am the end product of thousands of years of evolution; therefore, I am better equipped in both mind and body than all the emperors and wise men before me.But my skills, my mind, my heart, and my body will weaken, rot, and die for fear that I put them to good use. I have unlimited potential. Only a tiny part of my brain do I employ; only a small amount of my muscle do I apply.So never again will I be satisfied with yesterday's accomplishments nor will I lose myself, anymore, in self-praise for deeds which in reality are too small to even acknowledge. I can accomplish far more than I have, and I will. I am not on this earth by chance. I am here for a purpose and that purpose is to grow into a mountain, not to shrink to a grain of sand. Henceforth(从今往后) will I apply all my efforts to become the highest mountain of all and I will strain my potential until it cries for mercy.I will increase my knowledge of mankind, myself, and the goods I sell. I will practice, and improve, and polish the words I speak to multiply my sales, for this is the foundation on which I will build my career. Also will I seek constantly to improve my manners and graces, for they are the sugar to which all are attracted.I have been given eyes to see and a mind to think and now I know a great secret of life that all my problems, discouragements, and heartaches are, in truth, great opportunities in disguise. I am nature‘s greatest miracle. And nature knows not defeat. Eventually, she achieves victory and so will I, and with each victory the next struggle becomes less difficult.24. It can be inferred from the text that the author is most probably a(n) _________.A. robotB. soldierC. salesmanD. athlete25. Which of the following can best describe the author‘s character?A. Intelligent, calm and content.B. Confident, modest and realistic.C. Independent, cold and aggressive.D. Ambitious, confident and optimistic.26. According to the text, which of the following is fundamental to the author‘s career building?A. Knowledge of mankind.B. Speaking skills.C. Prediction of the market.D. sense of victory.27. What is the best title for the passage?A. Nature‘s greatest miracleB. The power of being differentC. The great secret of lifeD. Great opportunities in disguiseCTwo people have died after two separate university shootings in Texas and Arizona, just hours apart. One person was killed and three injured in the first shooting at Northern Arizona University early on Friday. Later that morning a shooting at a student complex near Texas Southern University left one person dead.In Arizona, police named the gunman there as Steven Jones, an 18-year-old first year student at Northern Arizona University.Mr. Jones told police he was approached by a group of men and attacked. He fled, produced a gun from his pocket and opened fire when the men caught up with him, Arizona police said. Witnesses told police that the victims were unarmed.The second shooting in Texas happened later on Friday morning at the University Courtyard Apartments on the edge of the Houston campus. One student was killed, a freshman at the school, the university confirmed, and another person was wounded. Two people have been arrested as suspects and a third is still at large, said Houston police spokeswoman Jodi Silva.The attacks came as President Barack Obama visited families of victims of a college shooting in Oregon. On arriving in Oregon, he was jeered(嘲笑) by gun rights activists who oppose calls he made for tougher gun laws after nine people were killed at Umpqua Community College, Roseburg, last week.After a private meeting with families, Mr Obama said he had "strong feelings" about gun control, adding: "We are going to have to come together as a country to see how we can prevent these issues from taking place.‖On the edge of this little American town, a few hundred protestors gathered to tell their president he was not welcome. Many were openly carrying handguns to hammer home their message. The demonstrators blamed the shooting here last week on two things: a failure to treat mental health problems and the designation of Umpqua Community College as a gun-free zone. Many of those we spoke to said they had travelled to Roseburg from elsewhere in Oregon to make their voices hear. The hostility to the Democratic president here in Republican rural Oregon was not just political, it was personal.28. How many people were dead in these two recent university shootings?A. One.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.29. Which of the following is right about the Northern Arizona University shooting?A. The gunman was about to graduate.B. It was the victims who started the fight.C. The gunman shot the victims out of hatred.D. The victims attacked the gunman with knives.30. Mr. Obama probably agreed that ____________.A. gun control is too strict in most parts of America, especially in universitiesB. designation of Umpqua community college as a gun-free zone is a wrong decisionC. Americans should be united to prevent criminal shooting from happening so frequentlyD.A failure to treat mental health problems caused the shooting at Umpqua Community College31. The underlined words in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ____________.A. emphasizeB. digestC. commitD. respondDIn 2012, the Tower of London welcomed two new inhabitants: a pair of ravens(乌鸦) named Jubilee and Grip. Their arrival celebrated the bicentenary(二百周年) of Charles Dickens‘s birth. This Grip was the third of the Tower ravens to be named after the novelist‘s own pet bird. One of his predecessors（前辈）was resident during World War Two; he and his mate Mabel were the only ravens to survive a bombing attack on the Tower.Dickens‘s Grip, who had an impressive vocabulary, appears as a character in the author‘s fifth novel, Barnaby Rudge. On 28 January 1841, Dickens wrote to his friend George Cattermole: ―my notion is to have [Barnaby] always in company with a pet raven, who is immeasurably more knowing than himself. To this end I have been studying my bird, and think I could make a very distinctive character of him.‖Unfortunately, just a few weeks after Dickens wrote that letter, Grip died, probably as a result of having stolen and eaten paint some months earlier. The bird had developed a strange habit –tearing sections off painted surfaces (including the family's carriage) and even drinking a quantity of white paint out of a tin. Dickens mourned his loss and wrote a humorous letter to his friend, the illustrator Daniel Maclise, about the raven‘s death.He related how, when Grip began to show signs of sickness, the vet was called and ―administered a powerful dose of castor(蓖麻) oil‖. Initially this seemed to have a positive effectand the author was thrilled to see Grip restored to his usual personality when he bit the coachman (who was used to the raven and took it in good humor). The following morning, Grip was able to eat ―some warm porridge‖, but his recovery was short lived.As Dickens wrote to Maclise, ―On the clock striking twelve he appeared slightly upset, but soon recovered, walking twice or thrice along the coach-house, stopped to bark, exclaimed ‗Hello old girl‘ (his favorite expression) and died. He behaved throughout with a decent manner, which cannot be too much admired... The children seem rather glad of it. He bit their ankles. But that was play.‖32. Which of the following is right about Dickens‘s pet Grip?A. he liked painting a lot.B. he could speak English fluently.C. he was quite ill before his death.D. he and Mabel survived a bombing attack.33. Why did Dickens study his bird Grip?A. Because the bird was very strange looking.B. Because Dickens liked the bird immeasurably.C. Because Barnaby needs a companion who was always with him.D. Because Dickens wanted to base one character of his novel on him.34. What caused the death of Dickens‘s Grip?A. His old age.B. His strange diet.C. The killing of the coachman.D. His bad habit of biting people.35. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. A bird in a novel.B. The writer‘s bird.C. The death of a bird.D.
