On Sunday morning，after listening to a sermon(布道) about making “A World of Difference”, we stopped a t the gas station for a snack and drinks. When we pulled in to the parking lot we noticed a young girl sitting on the road. She was outside in January , in the Midwest, with only a sweatshirt. No coat or gloves. She didn’t look very happy.

I approached her and asked if she was okay. She said yes and told me that she had run out of gas down the road, walked to the gas station, and was now waiting for someone to bring her a gas can and a little money so she could get her car running again. By the look on her face I thought she had been waiting for a while.

I，hesitantly，asked if we could give her a lift somewhere . I was fearful

that she might be worried about our intentions. She graciously(有礼貌地) refused and said she would simply wait.

I went inside the gas station to pick up the items we had come for, but I couldn’t stop thinking about the young girl sitting outside in the cold and wished I could do something to help her. So I bought a gift certificate for her. With it she could either buy the gasoline she said she needed or she could at least go inside and purchase a drink and some food to keep her warm while she waited for someone to come to get her.

She was so surprised when I handed her the gift certificate.

Walking away I got the feeling that help didn’t co me her way very often. She was very thankful for the gift certificate --- but I thought it did just as much to lift my spirits as it did hers!

A. Because she waited for her friends.

B. Because her gas had given out and she waited for someone to help her.

C. Because she wanted to buy some food.

D. Because she wanted to borrow some money.

22. Where did the author go on Sunday morning?

A: The nursing home. B. The shop. C. The hospital.

D. The church.

23. What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. People often helped the young girl.

B. The author regretted having helped the young girl later.

C. The young girl seldom helped others.

D. People seldom helped the young girl like the author.

24. How did the author help her?

Good relationships are definitely good sources of happiness in life. We all want happy relationships but if we do not keep that relationship alive，it can also be one of the most distraught things in life. There may be no hard and fast rules in making good relationships, as each of us has different preferences and points of view as to what is a great relationship. The following are some major key players in making relationships work.

It is often said that building good relationships is all about communication. Good communication indeed governs a good relationship-knowing the right thing to say，when to say it，how to say it，and accepting some things

that are better left unsaid. I personally think communication must be broadened because relationships involve more decisions to make. From study to work，from money to entertainment and even in things about yourself or about your friends that you do not know, communication is essential in these aspects of the relationships.

Of course, being with someone is not saying that you totally agree with him or her all the time. You and your friends come from different family backgrounds，raised in different environments so there may be disagreements here and there. However, it is important in making relationships work to express disagreements without pushing the relationship to end. Again, good communication and learning to compromise(妥协)at times are essential.

As relationships last longer, you may also discover things about you and your friends that you may not have known before. Therefore，supporting each other on both your "hidden selves" can also make a good relationship. Love is an important aspect of building relationships and for me，I always believe that love needs open communication, respect，support and understanding each other in making relationships work.

25. The underlined word “distraught” in Paragraph 1 probably means

A. upsetting

B. surprising

C. funny

D. helpless

26. To communicate well with people, you should know that

A. your friends need to have the same backgrounds with you

B. compromises are essential at any time

C. a white lie is necessary sometimes

D. supporting each other in anything helps build a good relationship

27. According to the text，which of the following are important for a good relationship'?

a. communication

b. support

c. hidden selves

d. love

A. abd

B. acd

C. bcd

D. abc

28. What would be the best title for the text ?

A. The importance to express disagreements

B. Forbidden rules in building good relationships

C. Different opinions on good relationships

D. Keys to making relationships work

C

Speaking two languages can actually help offset(抵消) some effects of aging on the brain, a new study has found.

Researchers tested how long it took participants to switch from one cognitive(认知的)task to another, something that's known to take longer

for older adults, said the lead researcher, Brian Gold，a neuroscientist at the University of Kentucky.

Gold's team compared task-switching speeds for younger and older adults，knowing they would find slower speeds in the older population because of previous studies. However，they found older adults speaking two languages were able to switch mental activities faster than those who didn't. The study only looked at lifelong bilinguals(会说两种语言的人)，defined in the study as people speaking a second language daily since they were at least 10 years old.

First，Gold and his team asked 30 people，either bilingual or monolingual，to look at a series of colored shapes and respond with the name of each shape by pushing a button. Then，they presented the participants with a similar series of colored shapes and asked them to respond with what colors the shapes were by pushing a button. Finally，they presented participants with a series of colored shapes, but they mixed prompts(提词) for either a shape or a color to test participants' task-switching time.

The bilingual people were able to respond faster to the moving prompts. Researchers found bilingual people~not only able to switch tasks faster一they had different brain activities compared with their monolingual peers.

Krishna called bilingualism a ”beautiful natural experiment"，because people grow up speaking two languages，and studies have shown that they get certain cognitive benefits from switching between languages and determining which to respond with based on what's going on around them.

Gold said he grew up in Montreal，where he spoke French at school and English at home，prompting relatives to question whether his French language attention would somehow stop his ability to learn English.

“Until recently，learning a second language in childhood was thought of as dangerous，”he said, “Actually, it's beneficial.”

29. Krishna called bilingualism a ”beautiful natural experiment" because

A. people speaking two languages are beautiful

B. people speaking two languages are natural

C. people speaking two languages like the experiment

D. people grow up, benefiting from speaking two languages

30. Gold's relatives were puzzled when he spoke French at school and English at home because

A. they thought it would affect his progress

B. they thought it would be of little help to him

C. they were afraid that learning French would affect his English learning

D. they thought that French was useless

31. What's the main idea of the passage?

A. Researchers found bilingual people respond slowly.

B. Researchers found bilinguals can slow down the speed of aging on the brain and respond fast.

C. Researchers found bilinguals are great.

D. Researchers found speaking two languages is very important.

32. We can learn from the last paragraph that learning a second language in childhood is

A. not beneficial to children

B. dangerous but beneficial to children

C. not dangerous but beneficial to children

D. dangerous to children

Janelle was running late for work, so she just had time for a quick look at herself in the mirror as she was going out. What she saw there made her stop dead in her tracks.

Being a busy college student just one year removed from her teenage years, sh e wasn’t exactly obsessive-compulsive(有强迫观念和行为的) about the neatness of her clothes. But her boss at the restaurant where she works

saw things a little differently. He had recently lectured the entire staff on the importance of appearance, and had specifically mentioned the need for servers to wear clean, unwrinkled blouses. As an assistant manager, Janelle felt it was important to set an example for the other employees. But if she stopped to iron the blouse normally, she would be late —and work without delay was an area of even greater concern to her boss.

So she grabbed her iron and plugged it in and set it for low heat. Carefully holding her blouse away from her body, she continued to iron it while she was wearing it. It seemed like a logical answer to an urgent problem.

And it seemed to be working until Janelle tried to iron the collar and accidentally ironed her neck by mistake. Then it suddenly seemed like a really stupid idea and a really painful one as well. It took more time to treat her burn than it would have taken to iron her shirt properly. And she spent a miserable shift dealing with the pain of the burn.

We’ve all been there, haven’t we? For me it was cutting my own hair. For a former roommate it was trying to pull his own wisdom teeth. For another college acquaintance, it was trying to change the oil in his car while the motor was still running.

“There’s a right way and a wrong way of doing things,” Dad used to

tell me whenever I’d spoil the look of our yard by trying out a faster, easier and more creative way of pulling weeds or edging the lawn. “If a thing is worth doing,” he said, “it’s worth doing it right.” There’s a reason why certain things are done in certain ways. Those old, boring, predictable ways work.

33．It’s learned from Paragraph 2 that______________.

A．Jenelle had no sense of responsibility at work

B．Jenelle failed to set an example for employees in daily work C．Jenelle’s boss put doing something on time above appearance D．Jenelle didn’t care abo ut the neatness of her clothes at all 34．What can we infer from the fifth paragraph?

A．We all have tried to iron clothes while we are wearing them.

B．We are careful enough in daily life.

C．We all have done something creative.

D．We all have done loads of things like Janelle.

35．What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph ?

A．Be creative. B．Do things right.

C．Stick to old ways. D．A bad beginning makes a bad ending. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn

how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.

___36___ Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They cannot or will not express it. This is called repressing(抑制) anger.

For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones(荷尔蒙)，They speed the heart rate，raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc. ____37_____.

Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease，and they believe that those who keep anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.

38 They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the

real cause of the anger，then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about.

If it is, they say,“39 Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”

Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. 40____.
