D Moonlight Cinema.BAlmost every light comedy or situation comedy makes me feel like I should be drinking wine every night with my best friend while one of us tries on clothes. Not only should we share the same dress size, but we should also have a long, rich history of togetherness and secrets. Clearly, this is not reality.I have 598 f riends. OK, but if I’m honest, 99.3 percent of those friends are those I met only once or acquaintances who live too far away to see regularly. That leaves 4 people, who I can call anytime, not feeling like I’m absolutely wasting their time. The remaining 0.2, I’ve decided, is my houseplant. I can tell it anything.Feeling the same way?You’re absolutely not alone. Most of us find our “people” in school, but over time life changes:marriage, kids, etc. We grow out of our relationships and they grow out of us.So when the relationships come to an end, how do you find a new one?A woman in my apartment building, who I had seen around over the years, approached me one day and introduced herself. She bravely stated, “You seem cool. Do you want to hang out with me sometime?I’m looking for new friends.” I almost dropped my bag of groceries at her social honesty. And now we get together for coffee a few times a year, gossip (八卦)about the neighbors, and take in the mail when one of us is on vacation. But a few times a year isn’t enough for me.So, what counts as true friendship as you get older?For me, it’s feeling comfortable enough to be myself. And if you’re like me, it’s also trust — not just keeping the secret, but trusting that my life choices aren’t their gos sip elsewhere.25. What do the numbers in Paragraph 2 show?A. The author has some unusual friends.B. The author has very few real friends.C. The author is fond of phoning her friends.D. The author doesn’t like most of her friends.26. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 show?A. The author was a little careless.B. The author was glad at the request.C. The author was shocked by the request.D. The author was carrying something heavy.27. What does the author think true friendship is?A. It is really difficult to find.B. It can show one’s genuine belief.C. It is really hard for people to understand.D. It can make people have a sense of security.CIt's been said that honesty is the best policy.It sounds like the simplest thing in the world,but being truly honest with others and with yourself can be a real challenge.Most of us learned to be dishonest as children.Remember that dishonesty is rooted in fear,so you must look for and face those fears.By listing areas where you have a problem,and then working to deal with them,you can battle these habits.If you find yourself lying because you fear disapproval from someone,for example,perhaps you need to learn how to stop being a people pleaser and be yourself.Most importantly,admit your errors so that you can forgive yourself and use those experiences to reinforce your determination to do better.If you feel guilty for having been dishonest in the past,apologize to the person you lied to or find a creative way to make things right.If you've lied to a person who plays an important role in your life (a significant other,relative,or friend),the best (but most difficult)thing to do is to come clean.Think honestly.This may sound silly,but if you don't think honestly,you won't be honest.If you're pushed into a corner and don't know how to respond,you have the right to remain silent or say "Can we talk about this another time? "or" I really don't feel comfortable talking about this."Don't say "I don't know"Practice being honest on the simple things.Abraham Lincoln became famous for going to great lengths to return a few cents that did not belong to him,hence the nickname" Honest Abe".By applying honesty to the little things,you will get in the habit of being honest in general.28.What's the author's attitude towards becoming honest?A.Optimistic.B.Pessimistic.C.Skeptical.D.Unconcerned.29.What does the underlined word “reinforce” in paragraph 1 mean?A.show B.strengthen C.express D.weak30.What's the author's main purpose of writing the text?A.To encourage people to be honest.B.To arouse readers 'interest in being famous.C.To call on people to learn from Abraham Lincoln.D.To advice us to say sorry to the person we lied to.31.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Challenge Yourself B.No Need to Lie to OthersC.Honesty is the Best Policy D.Little Things Can Make a BigDifference.DClimate change will force exhausted birds migrating to Europe from Africa to travel further, with possibly disastrous consequences, according to a study.The annual voyage of some species, which fly north in search of food and suitable habitats, could increase by as much as 400 kilometers (250 miles), the research found. “Maratho n migrations for some birds are set to become even longer,” said Stephen Willis, a professor at Durham University in Britain and the main architect of the study. “This is bad news for birds like the White throat, a common farmland bird. The added distance is a considerable threat. As temperatures rise and habitats change, birds will face their biggest challenge since the Pleistocene era (更新世), which ended 11,000 years ago,” he said in a statement.Some 500 million birds migrate each year from Africa, some weighing as little as nine grams (three-tenths of an ounce). To complete a voyage that can be thousands of kilometers long, birds have to fatten themselves up to twice their normal weight. Some even shrink their internal organs (收缩内脏) to become more fuel efficient, so any additional distance may be dangerous.The study finds that from 2007 to 2010, nine out of 17 species examined are going to face longer migrations, particularly birds that cross the Sahara Desert. Some birds travel the Sahara and the Mediterranean Sea in a one go, while others have a break in northern Africa before crossing. Many fly at night, when temperatures are cooler.A few — such as the Blackcap — have started to adapt by spending winters in Britain, but such behavior remains exceptional, the study said. The study forecasts that the migration distance of the Orphean Warbler will jump from 2,700 kilometers (1,700 miles)to between 3,050 and 3,350 kilometers (1,900 and 2,100 miles), with even longer increases for the Subalpine and Barred Warblers.32. What does traveling extra distance mean for some migrating birds?A. Better living conditions.B. Better physical health.C. Stronger ability to fly.D. Bigger threat to life.33. To complete the marathon migrations, some birds have to do the following except ______.A. have a break in the SaharaB. put on more weightC. reduce the size of internal organsD. fly at night to avoid the heat34. What can we infer from the text?A. Birds have to migrate from Africa to Europe in winter.B. Global warming is bad for all birds worldwide.C. Birds that are of small size don’t need to migrate.D. Some birds have to migrate unless they adapt to climate change.35. What’s the best title of the text?A. Climate change leads to disastrous consequenceB. The annual voyage of some speciesC. How birds migrate for longer distancesD. Climate change pushes birds to migrate farther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。

He was a geologist and loved to go on long walks to find stones to add to his collection at the university. More often than not, we followed him.One day, we left early, and this time, our uncle had bought us backpacks. “You can help me carry the samples ,” he explained.Sure, why not? The whole day, w e walked around the countryside, and every now and then, our uncle put stones in our bags. We were a bit surprised that he also took some stones out from our bags at times, but figured he had just found better samples than the ones we already had.Still, when we reached the house in the late afternoon, we were exhausted. The backpacks were so heavy we gave a big sigh of relief when we put them on the ground. Yet our uncle’s backpack was half-empty.“Why did you give us so many stones?” we asked.“I didn’t. You did,” he said, waiting for a while before continuing. “You did not know it, but I made you go through a little attitude test today.”“What do you mean an ‘attitude test’?” we wanted to know.“It is something someone once did to me –and I shall always remember it. You see, I listened to every word you said. And whenever you complained about anyone or anything, I added a stone to your bags. And whenever you talked about something with an attitude of gratitude and positive thinking, I took out a stone. And now look at your backpacks.”We did. They were full.“I h ope you remember this little attitude test. You see, your negative thoughts are like stones. You carry them in your mind just like those stones in a backpack. The more negative thoughts you have, the heavier your mind is. A positive thought, however, cancels out a negative one. So look at those bags and start paying attention to what you say and how you say things.”This little lesson was one of the most important I ever had. And I remember my uncle with great love for teaching us one of the most important lessons in life –the power of attitude.8.What did the author and his brother often do when staying with their uncle in the countryside?A.

How did the uncle explain the attitude test to the author?A. By giving examples.B. By asking questions.C. By using famous sayings.D. By comparing negative thoughts to stones.11. This article is mainly written to tell us that ______.A. we should show gratitude to those who help usB. we should watch the language we useC. we should learn from older peopleD. we should stop and think about our lives from time to timeDYou may know the difference between an American accent and a British accent. But do you know what a “posh” (优雅的) British accent is? The difference may be more important than you think.There are many different accents in the UK, some of them very difficult for foreigners to understand. In the south, many people speak with what is known as a “posh” accent, an accent t hat makes people think of the British Royal Family and upper-class people in the UK. In this accent, “grass” sounds more like “gr-ar-ss”, and “bath” sounds more like “barth”. Often, British people who take j obs on TV or elsewhere have to change their own accents and make them “posher” to be accepted.So, do accents still matter? Last year Alexander Baratta, PhD, from the UK’s University of Manchester spoke about “accentism” – people being tr eated worse because of how they speak – and compared it to racism, according to The Guardian. In a study, he asked people why they changed their accents and how it made them feel.It’s not hard to see why they do it – everyone wants to do well in life, and the best way to do that is to “fit in”. Still, there is a price to pay, Baratta said. Facing the world with a voice that is not your own can hurt “your sense of being”. This was shown when a third of those questioned said they were “ashamed” about changing their accents.What can be done to stop people changing how they sound? Well, time s may be changing, too. The Guardian’s leader writer Hugh Muir has a suggestion: “The listener must adapt when needed. The speaker must make themselves understood,whatever accent they choose.”So as you’re learning English, don’t worry too much about how your accent makes you sound –as long as it’s clear what you’re saying!12.What is the article mainly about?A. How we should deal with dif ferent accents.B. Why we should learn a posh British accent.C. The problem of accentism and ways to deal with it.D. Why some British people like to change their accents.13. According to the article, a posh accent reminds people of ______ in the UK.A. working-class peopleB. upper-class peopleC. poorly-educated peopleD. fashionable young people14. We can see from the article that changing their accents ______.A. made most of the people asked feel poshB. meant that some of the people asked were treated worseC. made some of the people asked feel bad about themselvesD. made most of the people asked feel unsure of themselves15. What are people advised to do with their accents?A. To make themselves clear in the accent they choose.B. To warn listeners to accept different accents.C. To make no changes to their accent at all.D. To adapt their accent to their listeners.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。

good communication skillsBIn2013,I realized that I needed a break from the office work,so I set out traveling.But I had no idea how much the decision would change me for the rest of my life!Before traveling,I was always worried about what other people think of me.How I looked and dressed was really important to me.I was always worried about putting on weight,getting darker, wondering if I was good-looking enough to socialize and be one of the people I used to hang out with.It doesn't matter now.I'm more confident with my color,my weight,and how I dress.I used to compete a lot even when I was still a kid.I always wanted to impress people with how smart I was,how I could handle any task...But now,why should I feel like I need to compete?I only need to impress myself.My life is already complete;I just have to make sure that whatever I do will be positive(积极的)and make me a better person.I was a24-year-old Filipina with a successful career and had all of the things I could buy.But when I started traveling,I was no one.I have to learn a lot of things when traveling and I love it!I thought the only skills I needed to improve were Microsoft Office and networking.Well I can now

different kinds of jobs.5.How did traveling change the author's life?A.It improved her socializing skills.B.It made her more impressive to people.C.It changed the way she saw herself.D.t helped her realize the true meaning of life.6.What does the author think of learning new things while traveling?A.Difficult and troublesome.B.Necessary and enjoyable.C.Helpful but time wastingD.Tiring but meaningful.7.How is the text mainly organized?A.By time.B.By space.C.By comparisons.D.By examples.C.Some people are unable to describe the face of someone they have just met.Some can't even recognize their own children in a group photograph.Such people have a condition of the brain called“face blindness”or“developmental prosopagnosia(DP).”Face blindness was once thought to be rare(罕见的).But recent studies have shown that it might be more common than experts had thought.The latest study on face blindness came from Dartmouth College.The researchers studied how people recognize and process(处理)faces.They compared22patients with DP to25other peopleshowing all the subjects videos of faces,bodies,physical objects and other things.One test dealt with famous faces.When shown famous faces,one subject,Dacia Reid,drew nothing with actor George Clooney.“Eh!I don’t know.”...and former President George Bush.“Ah,I don’t know.”However,she could recognize actor John Travolta.“Um,John Travolta.Yeah,that chin(下巴)!You can’t deny(否认)the chin.”Reid suffered brain damage as a child.She has mostly recovered from her injuries.But now, she suffers from face blindness.Bradley Duchaine,the lead researcher of the study,says that studying face blindness may help researchers understand how the brain works.“My main interest is trying to understand the organization of the normal brain,and we use these brains that have undergone brain damage to study the way the normal brain operates.”To see if the brain recognized people and things in the same way,the researchers tested how well people with face blindness could recognize common objects.They found that people with DP may not have been able to remember faces,but they could recognize objects,scenes and bodies.The researchers say that suggests that faces are processed differently in the brain. Duchaine says this study on face blindness will not directly lead to any treatments.However, he said it could lead to a deeper understanding of how we all remember the world around us.8.What is the purpose of the first paragraph?A.To report a serious problem.B.To give practical suggestionsC.To express the main idea of the text.D.To provide background information9.Why was Reid able to recognize the picture of John Travolta?A.He has a special face.B.She is a big fan of himC.She had seen the picture before.D.He was wearing special clothes.10.What is one of Duchaine’s purposes of doing the study?A.To find medical treatments for DP.B.To see how DP affects people’s lives.C.To understand how the human brain operates.D.To study how people develop face blindness.11.What did the Dartmouth College study find?A.Brain damage is the main cause of DP.B.DP differs greatly from patient to patient.C.Face blindness is more common than people thought.D.Human brains work differently in recognizing faces and things.DEverything,no matter how great it is,will always have its problems.If you ever find yourself in an argument about renewable(可再生的)energy with someone who needs to receive more education,do your part for the environment by giving the following facts.Argument one:renewable energy is expensive.This argument is only a surface truth.For a large house or small business,to start using renewable energy can be expensive at first.There’s a lot of equipment to buy.However,in the following10or20years,you’ll never see another power bill again.If you make lots of energy,you might even be able to sell it back to the power company.Argument two:renewable energy takes up a lot of space.If you have a small yard,people might have told you that you’ll never be able to fit solar energy equipment in there.Even if you can’t,look at land for sale close to your place.If your neighbors are interested in going green,you might be able to go in together to buy a piece of land and build a large solar farm you can share. Many houses can benefit from one solar farm.Not everyone needs a big yard.Argument three:renewable energy isn’t necessary.Renewable energy allows us to power our lives without using up anything.We don’t need to do much—we can just make receptacles(容器)for the free,renewable energy that already surrounds us.When you think about it,it’s almost like wasting energy if we don’t collect it.Argument four:renewable energy isn’t as efficient.A UK based study on renewable energy actually found that it was a lot more efficient than traditional energy sources.Since it produces almost no waste heat,while most other energy sources can produce more than half of their production in waste heat,it’s safe to say that using the energy we already have in our daily life can be more than twice as efficient.12.Why did the author write the text?A.To develop arguments against renewable energy.B.To explain why renewable energy should be used.C.To teach people to make full use of renewable energy.D.To show the importance of protecting the environment.13.What’s the weak point of using renewable energy?A.It’s mostly for small businesses.B.It can be used for20years at most.C.It takes up lots of money at the beginning.D.It’s sometimes not enough for daily use.14.What does the author suggest when your yard is too small?A.Make your solar farm to a smaller size.B.Raise money with other people to buy land.C.Move your family to a place with a bigger yard.D.Put the solar energy equipment in your neighbor’s yard.15.In what way is renewable energy efficient?A.Almost all of its production is usable.B.It can produce heat in a very short time.C.It produces more power than power companies.D.Its waste heat is a bit less than traditional energy’s.第二节:七选五(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。

AIt’s clear that we have an interest in artifi cial intelligence, and kids in particular seem to love a good robot movie. If you have little (or big) robot fans in your house, here are some movies that will interest them.※Sid the Science Kid: The MovieSid the Science Kid: The Movie follows Sid and Gabriella on an exciting trip to the Super Ultimate Science Museum. They tour the museum going from one exciting scientific adventure to another with an amazing robot tour guide Bobbybot. But when a program error in Bobbybot occurs, Sid and his friend have to work together to stop him before he destroys the museum. In addition to Bobbybot, there are several other silly robots that go about making trouble around the museum.$8 from AmazonRecommended for kids aged 2-6※Robots (2005)Rodney Copperbottom decides to move to Robot City to follow his dream of becoming a great inventor in the movie Robots. However, life in the big city isn’t all that Rodney expected, and he meets many challenges and makes friends along the way. As Rodney fights a giant and helps old broken-down robots, he helps everyone realize that shiny and new things are not always best.$5 from AmazonRecommended for ages 5 and up※Real Steel (2011)Robot boxing is the super sport in this slightly futuristic (幻想未来的) world in the movie Real Steel. A young boy who has lost his mother spends some time with the father he never knew, and the two bond over making a robot that may have a chance to win in the ring. The focus of the movie is on the changing relationship between the father and son, but the hard-hitting world of robot boxing and special effects, along with an excellent rock soundtrack (配音) give the movie an advantage.$10 from AmazonRecommended for ages 12+21.

All the three movies.B. Robots (2005).C. Real Steel (2011).D. Sid the Science Kid: The Movie.BWe walked slowly through the wet grass, our eyes searching for the enemy. I wondered why our army wasn’t throwing bombs (炸弹) when we knew they were there that Normandymorning. Suddenly, machine-gun fire broke the quiet. We hit the ground, sheltered from the shots by a low stone wall a few feet ahead.My radioman called the commander (指挥官) to report as I asked two soldiers to help me find the enemy and knock out the machine gun. While I was on one knee to talk to my guys, I heard an explosion (爆炸声) — and then I was on my back.“Lieutenant! Lieutenant! You’ve been hit!” the radioman shouted.Two doctors took me to an aid station. A doctor put a bandage on my bloody knee; then the doctors drove me to a nearby field hospital. They carried me into a tent where a great number of wounded soldiers were lined up on the ground. I watched the nurses give me a shot (注射) before things went black. When I woke up, I was lying on a bed, wearing nothing but my dog tags and a blanket.“Wake up, Lieutenant!” a nurse shouted. “You’ve got to get on a plane —you’re flying to a hospital in England!”I felt frightened and nervous. All my things lay in piles of equipment. Everything could be superseded by new ones except the photo of my new bride, Ellen, which I always carried with me. “I’m not going until I get my wife’s picture,” I said. “It’s in the gas mask cover you took away from me.”The nurse looked at me for a while. I must look very concerned to her. I knew the nurse could make me go, but instead she said, “OK. I’ll see if I can find it.” Then she ran out to search through the piles. Time stood still until finally she came running out of breath back into our tent.“I’ve got it!” she shouted, waving the pic ture in her upraised hand.How she found it I’ll never know, but I’m glad she did. That photograph comforted me through tough times. Now — 69 years later — it sits on my bedside table.25. What was the author doing according to the first two paragraphs?A. Training new soldiers.B. Fighting in a fierce battle.C. Making bombs for his army.D. Serving as an excellent commander.26. What do we learn about the author from Paragraphs 4 and 5?A. He was seriously wounded.B. He lost his leg in the battle.C. He really needed a good rest.D. He was the most important there.27. What does the underlined word “superseded” in Paragraph 6 mean?A. created.B. destroyed.C. replaced.D. discovered.28. Why did the nurse agree to go to find the picture for the author?A. Because she was sure she could find it.B. Because she knew it meant a lot to the author.C. Because it was her fault that it was gone.D. Because she was curious about the picture.CBefore I started college, a lot of older people gave advice to me. Make sure that you go to class, get enough sleep, wash your clothes and, most importantly, be particular about with whom you spend time. Your friends in college m atter and they’ll end up being the most important and best friends you ever make.From what I’ve seen, people seem to end up closer with their college friends than with ones from other stages of their lives. Sure, your high school friends will always hold a special place in your heart, along with your youth. But those times included stricter rules, more parental control, less self-discovery and, probably fewer embarrassing( 令人尴尬的)adventures.The friends you make in college are the ones who get to stand by your side while you break away from childhood and push into adulthood. You know that bad time in your life when your parents aren’t around to make sure your dentist(牙医)appointments are scheduled, but you really need to have that bad tooth out. Well, It’s fine. Your friends understand how afraid you are to talk to your dentist’s secretary over the phone because you have no idea how your insurance works. They’ll help you.T here’s something special about being together through the disorganized times. Enjoy it and grow together. When you go through this confusing and messy period of your life, your college friends become your family, see you through everything-the good, the bad and the ugly.College is a difficult, yet beautiful experience. When your family and childhood friends are far away, your new friends matter more than ever. You laugh, cry and singtogether and through it all you develop a bond unique to your college experiences and young adulthood. It’s one that will last a lifetime.29. What should a college student do in older people’s eyes?A. Mind his manners.B. Make more friends.C. Learn to organize his life.D. Be particular about his goals.30.What is the example of dentist appointments used to show?A. One needs his family when he is ill.B. College students also fear to see dentists.C. One can learn a lot from his college friendsD. College friends help one through a hard time.31.What’s the best title of the text?A. Help friends outB. College friends matterC. How to start a college lifeD. Laugh, cry and sing with friendsDI once did an Internet search for how many studies have been done on sadness and depression. The number was about 40,000. Then I did a search for studies on happiness. There were only about 40 studies that came up. I smiled and then said to myself, “It’s almost like we all need to smile on purpose.”Now, I can hear some of you saying, “Well, what if I don’t feel like smiling? What do you want me to do?” Well, I believe that if we make ourselves smile on purpose, or even force ourselves to smile, then we have done something positive instead of negative in that moment. Besides, we may also improve the value of our faces and ourselves. Remember, nobody wants to be around someone who is wearing a frown.In addition, not only will we be making this world a better place, with our purposeful smiles, and encouraging more happiness and less sadness studies, but we will actually use fewer facial muscles by smiling instead of frowning. That’s right, my young, good-looking folks (人们). Using fewer facial muscles will help us keep a younger looking face that hopefully will never be marked by the lines of hardness and depression.What’s more, not only does smiling on purpose help improve the value of our facesand make us more attractive to others, but it also helps our whole body. Smiling causes the release of the feel-good matter from our brains, which then runs joyously through our little bodies. As a side benefit, this sort of joyfulness within us is also likely to improve our soci al lives. Now that’s something to smile about, isn’t it?Now teens, go to learn, lead, and lay the way to a better world for all of us. Remember to practice the habit of smiling on purpose. It will improve your looks, your social life, health, and eventually your career. And once again, thanks in advance for all you do, and all you will do.32. The author mentions the Internet search to .A. explain why people feel sadB. bring out the topic of the passageC. introduce researchers’ study resu ltsD. prove the convenience of the Internet33. Why can smiling make us look younger according to the text?A. Because fewer muscles on the face are used.B. Because people tend to have a younger heart.C. Because the muscles on the face are exercised.D. Because people who smile are really beautiful.34. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?A. All people have colorful social lives.B. All people feel their smiles are valuable.C. Smiling can be very beneficial.D. Smiling too much isn’t healthy.35. What is the text mainly about?A. How to study smiles.B. The purpose of smiling.C. How to practice smiling on purpose.D. The advantages of smiling on purpose.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。

ABRITAIN is a popular tourist place, but tours of the country have advantages and disadvantages.GOOD NEWSFree museums. No charge for outstanding collections of art and relics.Pop music. Britain is the only country to compete with the US on this score.Black cabs. London taxi drivers know where they are going even if there are never enough of them at weekends or night.Choice of food. Visitors can find everything from Japanese to Swedish restaurants.Fashion. Not only do fashion drug users love deeply and respect highly brand names such as Vivienne Westwood, Alexander McQueen; street styles are justly loved, too.BAD NEWSPoor service.“It’s part of the image of the place. People can dine out on the rudeness they have experienced,” says Professor Tony Seaton, of Luton University’s International Tourism Research Center.Poor public transport. Trains and buses are promised to disappoint the keenest tourists, although the over crowded London tube is unbelievably popular.Rain. Still at the top of the complaint.No air-conditioning. So that even splendidly hot summers become as unbearable as the heavey rain.Overpriced hotels. The only European country with a higher rate of tax on hotel rooms is Denmark.Licensing hours. Alcohol(酒) is in short supply after 11 pm even in “24-hour cities”.16. What do tourists complain most?A.Poor service.B.Poor public transport.C.Rain.D.Overpriced hotels.17.What do we learn about pop music in Britain and the US through this passage?A.Pop music in Britain better than that in the US.B.Pop music in Britain as good as that in the US.C.Pop music in Britain worse than that in the US.D.Pop music in Britain quite different from that in the US.18.When is alcohol unlikely to be available in quantities?A.At 8: 30 pm.B.At 9: 30 pm.C.At 10: 30 pm.D.At 11: 30 pm.BYou may be familiar with the following famous people, but have you heard of their graduation speeches, in which they either share their unforgotten experiences or give you some great inspiration(启迪).•Michael Dell, University of Texas at AustinAnd now you've accomplished something great and important here, and it's time for you to move on to what's next. And you must not let anything prevent you from taking those first steps ... You must also commit to the adventure. Just have faith in the skills and the knowledge you've been blessed with and go.•J.K. Rowling, Harvard UniversityHalf my lifetime ago ,I was striking an uneasy balance between my ambition and the expectation from my parents who were not rich...But what I feared most for myself at your age was not poverty(贫穷), but failure. The fact that you are graduating from Harvard suggests that you know little about failure, you might be driven by a fear of failure quite as much as a desire for success.•Steve Jobs, Stanford UniversitySometimes life's going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith...Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work, and the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking, and don't settle.•Bill Gates, Harvard UniversityWe need as many people as possible to have access to the advanced technology to lead to a revolution in what human beings can do for one another. They are making it possible not just for national governments, but for universities ,smaller organizations, and even individuals to see problems, see approaches and deal with the world's inequities(不平等)like hunger, poverty, and so on.19.W hat Michael Dell said is to urge us to_______.A.listen to our heartB.pursue our dreamsC.follow others' exampleD.learn from our mistakes20.What did J.K.

Our dreams do not come from another world. They are not messages from some outside sources. They are not a look into the future, either.All our dreams have something to do with our feelings, fears, longings, wishes, needs and memories. If a person is hungry, or tired, or cold, his dreams may include a feeling of this kind. If the covers on your body, such as a quilt or a blanket, have slipped off your bed, you may dream that you are sleeping on ice or in snow. The material for the dream you will have tonight is likely to come from the experience you have today.So the subject of your dream usually comes from something that has an effect on you while you are sleeping (feeling of cold, a noise, a discomfort, etc.) and it may also use your past experiences and the wishes and the interests you have now. This is why children are likely to dream of fairies, older children of school examinations,hungry people of food,homesick soldiers of their families and prisoners of freedom.To show you how this is happening while you are asleep and how your needs and wishes can all be joined together in a dream, here is a story of an experiment. A man was asleep and the back of his hand was rubbed with a piece of soft cotton. He would dream he was in hospital and his charming girlfriend was visiting him, sitting on the bed and feeling gently his hands!There are some scientists who have made a special study of why we dream, what we dream and what those dreams mean. Their explanation of dreams, though a bit reasonable, is not accepted by everyone but it offers an interesting approach to the problem. They believe that dreams are mostly expressions of wishes that did not come true. In other words, dreaming is a way of having your wishes carried out.23.From the passage we know that our dreams .A.are imagination of our daily life B.are man’s curious look into the future C.have nothing to do with our feelings D.are to some degree connected with our feelings24.In your dream when you feel like eating something it indicates that .

Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few obvious benefits? Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that, understandably, are very often asked.Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup (基因构成) as human beings. What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival. Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency (基因倾向性)to expand wherever possible.Nearly every successful civilization(文明)has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for. Without knowledge,we may be completely destroyed by the danger. With knowledge, we can lessen its effects.Exploration also allows minerals and other potential (潜在的) resources to be found. Even if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later. Resources may be more than matter. Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration. The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives. We have already benefited from other spin-offs including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems. Even non-stick pans and mirrored sunglasses are by-products (副产品) of technological developments in space.While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us. While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangers. The danger exists, but knowledge can help human beings to survive. Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist.While Earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability(自适应能力)of humans would allow us to live on other planets. It is true that the lifestyle would be different, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future.27.Why does the author mention the questions in Paragraph1?A.To express his doubts.B.To compare different ideas.C.To describe the conditions on Earth.D.To introduce points for discussion.28.The underline d word “spin-offs” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to______.A.survival chancesB.potential resourcesC.unexpected benefitsD.physical possessions29.What makes it possible for humans to live on other planets?A.Our genetic makeup.B.Resources on the earth.C.The adaptive ability of humans.D.By-products in space exploration.30.Which of the statements can best sum up the passage?A.Space exploration has created many wonders.B.Space exploration provided the best value for money.C.Space exploration may help us avoid potential problems on Earth.D.Space exploration can benefit science and technology.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。
