As we neared the edge of the cliff, I double-checked all my equipment to make sure it was secure. I felt anxious, and I was not eager for my turn as I waited in line with the members of my group. Fear rose from the pit of my stomach as I realized there was no one else to let in front of me. Slowly, I lowered myself to the edge of the nearly 200-foot cliff. My skin shook like a dozen earthquakes when I reached the person who hooked me to the belaying ropes, which kept me from falling. He hooked me up, and I slowly lowered myself over the edge of the cliff,breathed deeply,and went into a sitting position with both feet in front of me. I closed my eyes,gulped,and began to go down.Panic took over as I reached a point where my feet could no longer touch the rocky wall. The wall was right there, fooling me. My foot made contact with the wall, causing me to rotate. As I slowly began to spin around an interesting thing happened; my panic vanished. The beautiful view of the surrounding area overwhelmed me. All the different-sized trees were evergreens, which seemed to blanket the hillside. The forest was filled with life as different types of animals raced across my field of vision. As I looked upward the sky seemed to open up into a blue vastness. A sense of excitement overtook me. I'd been waiting for this moment, night and day, for one long month, and finally my dream had become reality. I began to feel calmer and more relaxed.As I finally neared the bottom of the cliff, there seemed to be less animal activity. When I looked up, the cliff did not seem so frightening. My feet were shaky when they finally touched the soft and muddy ground. My heart swelled with pride. Traveling on the muddy road, I began the long climb upward.1.How did the author feel when he was about to go down the cliff?A.Excited.B.Eager.C.Frightened.D.Anxious.2.Why did the person hook the author to the belaying ropes?A.To let him go down faster.B.To place him over the edge.?C.To ensure his safety.D.To tie him to the tree.3.When did the author begin to spin around?A.When his feet couldn't touch the rocky Wall.B.As soon as his feet touched the rocky wall again.C.When he lowered himself down the cliff.D.After his feet touched the ground.4.What was the author going to do after going down the cliff?A.Climb up the cliff once more.B.Go slowly down the mountain.C.Camp on the soft ground.D.Climb up the mountain.3、When it comes to mental illness, many people often find it lough to get the help they need. This is especially true for young students making the transition to college life."Sometimes, students don’t realize how hard it is to adjust to college," said Laura Smith.“You’re not the big fish in your class anymore; you have all kinds of personal stress; you're away from home. Dealing with these things is not easy."Students who are going through these problems sometimes want to get help. But if students don't feel comfortable seeking help, many feel that it's their university's responsibility to help them."I really wish that there was more importance placed on how counseling(咨询) centers help students," said Comnie Trinh. "Counseling services are just as important as sport."Trinh, 27,graduated from Texas Woman’s University. During college, she hosted various workshops on how to handle mental health condition. Trinh used her own story to connect with students who might be facing similar problems. High academic pressures, cultural differences and stressful social situations stood out as some of the causes of Trinh's anxiety.It was only after years of personal problems that she could admit that wanting help isn't a sign of weakness."If you feel you can't connect with other people around you, you should address the issue without shame," Trinh said. "You'll find that there are a lot of people who sincerely want to help you."1.The passage can be seen as the author's reflection on _________.A.college lifeB.counseling servicesC.mental healthD.cultural differences?2.What’s Trinh’s preferred solution to the problems mentioned?A.Making self-criticism.B.Handling the problems actively.C.Solving the problems on your own.D.Finding the causes of the problems.3.What's the second paragraph mainly about?A.New challenges as a new college student.B.Many difficulties of going to college.C.Clever students in a college class.D.Personal life problems of new students.4.What can we learn from the text?A.Counseling services could help people do research.B.Adjusting to college life is a piece of cake.C.Hosting workshops improves students' ability.D.Being brave to get help is not a sign of weakness.4、Animal lovers have long suspected that playing with pups is good for the mental and physical health, and now science has confirmed it—for students in particular.A new study done by researchers at the University of British Columbia concluded that the college students who spent time on drop-in dog therapy sessions experienced an increase in feelings of wellness and a reduction in overall stress. The study, as reported by Science Daily, indicates that playing with pups is not only popular with the students, but also beneficial to their mental and physical health. This finding was seen across gender(性别).The study, published on March 12 in the journal Stress and Health, involved 246 students who were surveyed before and after they dropped by dog therapy sessions. The young participants were given free access to pet, hug and talk to 7 to 12 therapy dogs. Additionally, they filled out questionnaires right before and right after hanging with the dogs, as well as 10 hours later.According to researchers, these young adults experienced a notable increase in happiness, a significant reduction in stress and a flood of energy right after their sessions with the pups. Although the feelings of happinessand satisfaction weren’t long-lasting, researchers say these effects have clear, positive advantages.“These therapy sessions clearly provide benefits for students in the short term, so we think universities should try to schedule them during particularly stressful times, such as around exam periods,”Frances Chen, assistant professor of psychology at the University of British Columbia and the study's senior author, told Science Daily. "Even having therapy dogs around while students are working on their out-of-class assignments could be helpful.”1.What does the new study say about the pups?A.They are only good for college students.B.They are only beneficial to the students' physical health.C.They can increase people's feelings of happiness and satisfaction.D.They can create positive feelings that last very long.2.According to Frances Chen, universities should allow their students ______.A.to have therapy dogs around to avoid great stressB.to have therapy dogs around during each examC.to have therapy dogs around during their classD.to have therapy dogs around to achieve good grades3.What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A.College students don't like to play with pups.B.Playing with pups is not popular among college students.C.People, especially college students, are under great pressure.D.Playing with pups benefits males and females mentally and physically.4.What may be the best title for the text?A.Pups, best friends of humansB.Pups, therapies for studentsC.Animal lovers and pupsD.Pets keeping and the soul5、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。

It stops things for a while,”says Joe.Stephen says recovery was a slow six-month process and changed the course of the band completely.“The accident has changed my attitude towards life. It has given me more motivation towards the band. I want to make it a bit more now. I know what I want and I want to get it. ”Tony says the crowd reactions to Stephen playing rhythm guitar in his wheelchair are always amazing.“It's not a big issue but people seem to remember and they say it's amazing he gets up and does it and doesn't just give up,”he says.“We don't look at him as having a disability at all. He just sits down while he's playing, and that's all. ”Stephen said the first time he went on stage as a paraplegic (截瘫患者), he felt out of place, but quickly got back into the rhythm.“We just make sure we don't trip over him and that he doesn't roll off the stage and we're fine,”says Tony.Their music speaks for itself.

When dry ice melts, it turnsCo melting into its into a gas. So when you see dry ice "smoking", it's frozen 2gaseous state. Dry ice is a popular matter in scientific experiments. It creates projects that look cool.Experiment: Healthy dry ice popsicles（棒冰）This dry ice experiment will catch people's eye, especially little kids' because the dry ice is going to be used to make what the young love to eat. It should take you about 10 minutes or less to have a frozen treat to enjoy.MaterialsOne large block of dry iceA large spoonPopsicle sticksOne cup of your favorite juiceA tall glass filled with waterDirectionsUse the large spoon to make a popsicle-shaped space in a block of dry ice. You can set the ice on a piece of cloth on your table to do this work. Of course, keep in mind that it's okay if it's not exactly popsicle-shaped.Add a popsicle stick to the middle of the space so that when you pour in the liquid, it will freeze around the popsicle stick.Hold the popsicle stick in place and wait a few minutes for your popsicle to harden. After several minutes, take away the popsicle from the block of dry ice and put it into a tall glass of water for a few seconds. Do this to warm up the popsicle just a bit. Otherwise, it will be too cold.1.According to the text, what's the main difference between dry ice and common ice?A. Their forms.B. Their shapes.C. Their temperatures.D.

It makes the popsicle look cool.4、When Gitanjali Rao shared how she likes “finding solutions to real problems”, it was hard to imagine this dynamic 11-year-old girl could settle a problem that has escaped scientists for years.In just three months, Rao came up with a device(装置)that can replace the costly and lengthy tests currently used to reliably determine lead(铅) levels in our fresh water. Inspired by the current litigation (诉讼)in Flint, Michigan, a case of water pollution from 2014 to 2015, Rao designed a new testing system that resulted in her being named America’s Top Young Scientist for 2017.Rao had been following the water problem for about two years. She was amazed by the number of people affected by lead pollution in water and wanted to do something to change this. Gitanjali spent months trying to convince local high schools and colleges to give her lab time to continue her experiment. At home, Gitanjali worked on her project in the “science room”she asked her parents to create for her. Rao has created a device that uses three parts: a cartridge, a Bluetooth reader and an app. To put it simply, the cartridge contains carbon nanotubes(纳米管) that react to lead. This reaction is then registered by the Bluetooth reader, which sends a signal to a mobile app that can tell you immediately if your water is safe to drink.Rao appropriately named the device Tethys after the Greek goddess of fresh water, and is hoping to make a little improvement to get the device on the market. While we may not be aware of any lead pollution present in our aging pipelines, lead poisoning can cause delays in physical and mental development. With Rao believing that the “purpose of science is to make a difference”, her incredible invention could make a difference to millions of people in the United States.1.What do we know about Rao’s device?A.It’s cheap and quick.B.It’s cheap and inaccurate.C.It’s expensive and reliable.D.It’s portable and time-consuming.2.What made Rao have the idea of designing the device?A.Her parents’suggestions.B.The name of the Greek goddess.C.Her interest in settling real problems.D.The water pollution litigation in Flint.3.What do the carbon nanotubes function as?A.Sending immediate signals.B.Recording the reaction results.C.Cetecting the presence of lead.D.Showing the water quality results.4.What does the author think of Rao’s invention?A.It will lead Rao to make a fortune.B.It will help millions of Americans drink safe water.C.It will promote the development of science in America.D.It will soon settle the lead-polluted problem thoroughly.5、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。

By the time I got outside, he’d broken it. “Can I take this to school today?” he asked. With a wave of my hand, I sent him off. I turned my back so he wouldn’t see the tears gathering in my eyes.The washing machine had leaked on my brand-new linoleum. If only my husband had just taken the time to fix it the night before when I asked him instead of playing checkers with Jonathan.It was days like this that made me want to quit. I just wanted to drive up to the mountains, hide in a cave, and never come out.Somehow I spent most of the day washing and drying clothes and thinking how love had disappeared from my life. As I finished hanging up the last of my husband’s shirts, I looked at the clock. 2: 30. I was late. Jonathan’s class let ou t at 2: 15 and I hurriedly drove to the school.I was out of breath by the time I knocked on the teacher’s door and peered through the glass. She rustled through the door and took me aside. “I want to talk to you about Jonathan,” she said.I prepared mysel f for the worst. Nothing would have surprised me. “Did you know Jonathan brought flowers to school today?” she asked. I nodded, thinking about my favorite bush and trying to hide the hurt in my eyes. “Let me tell you about yesterday,” the teacher insisted.“See that little girl?” I watched thebright-eyed child laugh and point to a colorful picture taped to the wall. I nodded.“Well, yesterday she was almost hysterical. Her mother and father are going through a nasty divorce. She told me she didn’t want to live, she wished she could die. I watched that little girl bury her face in her hands and say loud enough for the class to hear, ‘Nobody loves me. ’ I did all I could to comfort her, but it only seemed to make matters worse.” “I thought you wanted to talk to me about Jonathan,” I said.“I do,” she said, touching the sleeve of my blouse. “Today your son walked straight over to that child. I watched him hand her some pretty pink flowers and whisper, ‘I love you. ’“I felt my heart swell with pride for what my son had done. I smiled at the teacher. “Thank you,” I said, reaching for Jonathan’s hand, “you’ve made my day.”Later that evening, I began pulling weeds from around my azalea bush. As my mind wandered back to the love Jonathan showed the little girl, a b iblical verse came to me: “... these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” While my son had put love into practice, I had only felt anger.I heard the familiar squeak of my husband’s brakes as he pulled into the drive. I s napped a small limb bristling with hot pink azaleas off the bush. I felt the seed of love that God planted in my family beginning to bloom once again in me. My husband’s eyes widened in surprise as I handed him the flowers. “I love you,” I said.58. Why did the woman cry when seeing her son had broken the azalea bush?A. Because she could not tolerate the harm to it.B. Because it made her bad mood even worse.C. Because her son did not ask her for permission.D. Because she wanted to hand it to her husband.59. The writer wanted to hide in the mountain cave probably for the reason of .A. feeling fed up with her endless daily houseworkB. her husband’s failing to fix the machine in timeC. boring daily routine with a feeling of lack of loveD. her hoping to seek happiness in a brand new place60. We can infer from the passage that the writer expressed love to her husband in that .A. she was inspired by her son that love was supposed to be felt and practicedB. she felt guilty that she misunderstood her husband and wanted to apologizeC. she felt it necessary to have a complete family for the happiness of herselfD. she wanted to prove her love and expected the same words from her husbandC：Most damagingly,anger weakens a person’s ability to thi nk clearly and keep control over his behaviour.The angry person loses objectivity in evaluating the emotional significance of the person or situation that arouses his anger.Not everyone experience anger in the same way;what angers one person may amuse another.The specific expression of anger also differs from person to person based on biological and cultural forces.In contemporary culture,physical expressions of anger are generally considered too socially harmful to be tolerated.We no longer regard duels(决斗)as an appropriate expression of anger resulting from one person’s awareness of insulting behaviour on the part of another.Anger can be identified in the brain,where the electrical activity changes.Under mostconditions,EEG(脑电图)measures of electrical activity show balanced activity between the right and leftprefrontal(额叶前部)areas.Behaviourally this corresponds to the general even-handed disposition(意向)that most of us possess most of the time.But when we are angry the EEG of the right and left prefrontal areas aren’t balanced and,as a result of this,we’re likely to react.And our behavioural response to anger is different from our response to other emotions,whether positive or negative.Most positive emotions are associated with approach behaviour:we move closer to people we like.Most negative emotions,in contrast,are associated with avoidance behaviour:we move away from people and things that we dislike or that make us anxious.But anger is an exception to this pattern.The angrier we are,the more likely we are to move towards the object of our anger.This corresponds to what psychologists refer to as offensive anger:the angry person moves closer in order to influence and control the person or situation causing his anger.This approach-and-confront behaviour is accompanied by a leftward prefrontal asymmetry(不对称)of EEG activity.Interestingly,this asymmetry lessens if the angry person can experience empathy(同感)towards the individual who is bringing forth the angry response.In defensive anger,in contrast,the EEG asymmetry is directed to the right and the angry person feels helpless in the face of the anger-inspiring situation.61.The “duels” example in Paragraph 2 proves that the expression of anger______.ually has a biological basisB.varies among peopleC.is socially and culturally shapedD.influences one’s thinking and evaluation62.What changes can be found in an angry brain?A.Balanced electrical activity can be spotted.B.Unbalanced patterns are found in prefrontal areas.C.Electrical activity cor responds to one’s behaviour.D.Electrical activity agrees with one’s disposition.63.Which of the following is typical of offensive anger?A.Approaching the source of anger.B.Trying to control what is disliked.C.Moving away from what is disliked.D.Feeling helpless in the face of anger.64.What is the key message of the last paragraph?A.How anger differs from other emotions.B.How anger relates to other emotions.C.Behavioural responses to anger.D.Behavioural patterns of anger.D：It doesn’t kill germs better than cooler water, but turning tap temperatures high, the US burns carbon equal to the emissions of Barbados.People typically wash their hands seven times a day in the United States, but they do it at a far higher temperature than is necessary to kill germs, a new study says. The energy waste is equivalent to the fuel use of a small country.It’s cold and flu season, when many people are concerned about avoiding germs. But forget what you think you know about hand washing, say researchers at Vanderbilt University. Chances are good that how you clean up is not helping you stay healthy; it is helping to make the planet sick.Amanda R. Carrico, a research assistant professor at the Vanderbilt Institute for Energy andEnviron ment in Tennessee, told National Geographic that hand washing is often “a case where people act in ways that they think are in their best interest, but they in fact have inaccurate beliefs or outdated perceptions.”Carrico said, “It’s certainly true that h eat kills bacteria, but if you were going to use hot water to kill them it would have to be way too hot for you to tolerate.”She explained that boiling water, 212°F (99.98°C), is sometimes used to kill germs - for example, to clean drinking water that mig ht be polluted with germs. But “hot” water for hand washing is generally within 104°F to 131°F (40°C to 55°C.) At the high end of that range, heat could kill some germs, but the sustained contact that would be required would scald the skin.Carrico said th at after a review of the scientific literature, her team found “no evidence that using hot water that a person could stand would have any benefit in killing bacteria.” Even water as cold as 40°F (4.4°C) appeared to reduce bacteria as well as hotter water, if hands were scrubbed, rinsed（冲洗）and driedproperly.In fact, she noted that hot water can often have an unfavorable effect on hygiene. “Warmer water can harm the skin and affect the protective layer on the outside, which can cause it to be less resistant to bacteria,” said Carrico.Using hot water to wash hands is therefore unnecessary, as well as wasteful, Carrico said, particularly when it comes to the environment. According to her research, people use warm or hot water 64 percent of the time when they wash their hands. Using that number, Carrico’s team calculated a significant impact on the planet.“Although the choice of water temperature during a single hand wash may appear minor, when multiplied by the nearly 800 billion hand washes performed by Americans each year, this practice results in more than 6 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent emissions annually,” she said.That’s roughly equal to the emissions of two coal-fired power plants, or 1,250, 000 passenger vehicles, over the course of a year. It’s higher than the greenhouse gas emissions of small countries like El Salvador or Armenia, and is about equivalent to the emissions of Barbados. If all US citizens washed their hands in cooler water, it would be like eliminating the energy-related carbon emissions of 299,700 US homes, or the total annual emissions from the US zinc or lead industries.The researchers found that close to 70 percent of respondents said they believe that using hot water is more effective than warm, room temperature, or cold water, despite a lack of evidence backing that up, said Carrico. Her study noted research that showed a “strong cognitive（认知的）connection” between water temperature and hygiene in both the United States and Western Europe,compared to other countries, like Japan, where hot water is associated more with comfort than with health.The researchers published their results in the July 2013 issue of International Journal of Consumer Studies. They recommended washing with water that is at a “comfortable” temperatu re, which they noted may be warmer in cold months and cooler in hot ones.65. What does the writer mainly focus on when writing this passage?A. Whether hot water helps kill germs effectively in hand washing.B. How hot water contributes to the serious worsening of our planet.C. Why the consumption of hot water is unnecessary and wasteful.D. What the advantages and disadvantages of using hot water are.66.

According to the passage, all the following share roughly the same CO2 emissions yearlyEXCEPT .A. two coal-fired power plantsB. US zinc or lead industriesC. 1,250, 000 passenger vehiclesD. El Salvador or Armenia68. Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage?A. Boiling water at 212°F (99.98°C) works effectively in killing germs.B. Warmer water can damage the protective layer of the outside skin.C. There is much difference between cold water and hot water in reducing bacteria.D. Americans have inaccurate beliefs or outdated perceptions in hand washing.69. Which of the following is the standard of a comfortable water temperature for washing hands?A. Warmer in winter and cooler in summer.B. Between 104°F to 131°F (40°C to 55°C).C. Below 104°F (40°C) or above 131°F (55°C).D. Warm enough to kill germs and clean up.70.

Our parents were both gone now；I took with me as many things they had left behind as I could.I was out walking one Saturday later that summer when something caught my eye - a pale green dress. Laid out on the pavement was stuff like earrings, glass candle-holders, books. Hanging on the fence behind were a few pairs of jeans and a green cotton dress.The woma n, the host o£ the stoop (门廊）sale, looked like she was getting rid of a past she didn’t need or want. A dress that was too big for her. A chest of drawers that took up too much space, space she needed, maybe, to heal ，recover, or grow.I wasn’t planning on buying anything really, but now I needed to show her that I appreciated her things and I would give them a safe home. Then I had my first stoop sale —I paid her 20 dollars for her green cotton dress and her blue candle-holder,From that day on, I became interested in stoop sales. Some of my favorite things are from someone else’s life. I find no joyin shopping at regular stores any more. I love trying to sniff out a memory from a bud vase or a drawer. It is comforting to know that someone has breathed and laughed inside a sweater before me.A few weeks ago, I carried my mother’s dresses to a friend’s stoop. These were her best items ，which were once worn by the most important person in my life. For many hours, I watched from across the path people advancing the stoop, some leaving with Mom1S dress. I used to think that her stuff was as forever sacred (神圣的）as my memory of her, I know now that once I love a scarf or shirt too dearly，it needs to finda new home. Even that green dress is long gone by now.31. T he author took her mother*s dresses after her death because ______A. she valued the things used by her momB. she didn’t want to throw them, awayC. she could sell them laterD. they were her mom’s best items32. F rom the passage, we know that ______.A. the things the author bought from the woman are too bigB. the author is fond of imagining others’ life experiencesC. the author will never shop at regular stores any moreD. t he author still keeps most of her mom’s things33. I n the last paragraph ，the author tries to tell us that ______.A her mom is the number one person in her lifeB. she didn’t really want to sell her mom’s dressesC. she still thinks of her mother quite oftenD. love doesn’t mean holding on to somethin g tightly34. I t can be inferred that the author will ______.A. not sell her own things at stoop salesB. keep her mom in her mind in another wayC. be sad about all the memory of her momD. move to another city for a new lifeBA father in Wuhan, nicknamed "Eagle Dad" for his controversial parenting style, has dismissed critics' claims that he pushes his 4-year-old son too hard.Police officer Wang Shaoyan came under the spotlight this month after his child took part in an 18-kilometer race in the Hubei provincial capital.Some parents attacked his methods of extreme physical training, while others reacted strongly to his admission that he regularly exposes the youngster to cold showers. "I just want my son to reach his full potential," Wang said, adding that。

Only now it's actually stylish.The $120 speaker comes in different finishes, including fabric and wood.•A helping hand for parents10 Suzy Snooze helps babies and kids sleep so parents can catch up on their own sleep.

Those who enjoy cooking.C. Those who are busy working.D. Those who like going camping.BMany people rush into the commitment of bringing home a four-legged family member, only to find out that they are not ready for a pet. This often results in the dog being turned over to a shelter where it may not find another home. This can be avoided if potential pet owners take the time to figure out if they are truly ready for the responsibilities of pet ownership.Being a responsible pet owner involves a financial commitment that goes beyond buying dog food. There are also parasite (寄生虫) prevention, boarding costs while traveling and the cost to care for the pet should it become ill or injured. That is not to say that one must be rich in order to have a dog, but it is important to be prepared for the expenses that come with being a pet owner.Another consideration is the time commitment. An owner away from home for 14 hours every day is not an ideal situation for a dog. A potential dog owner must also consider the time it takes to care for his or her pet, the time it takes to feed, walk, play with, bathe and clean up. Also, dogs require attention. Be prepared to spend time each day petting and playing with it.Dogs are dogs, and will act like dogs. This includes barking, digging, having accidents in the house and, possibly, destroying some of the owner’s prized possessions, such as furniture, shoes and cell phones. If the above would cause an owner to want to get rid ofthe dog, then he or she is not yet ready to be a pet owner. Many wonderful pets end up in shelters simply because they acted like dogs!4. Who might be qualified to be a dog owner, according to the text?A. Jim, who has a daughter sensitive to dog’s smell.B. Dick, a jobless teenager who can hardly pay his rent.C. Kari, a teacher who works eight hours a day.D. Steven, a business man who travels a lot on business.5. To be a responsible dog owner you need to do all the following EXCEPT _________A. finding a shelter for it when you are bored with itB. buying dog food and feeding itC. taking it to hospital when necessaryD. spending time each day playing with it6. What does the underlined part in the first paragraph probably mean?A. Rush to adopt a dog formally.B. Decide to be a pet owner without thinking about it carefully.C. Run into a pet shelter and take one home so quickly.D. Commit to buy a dog and take it home.7. What might be the best title for the text?A. Dogs Are DogsB. Pets Are Family MembersC. Have Time for a Dog?D. Ready for a Pet?CIn 2012, Kim Stemple was a special education teacher and a solid performer in her age group in marathons.And then she got sick.After three years of tests and treatments, the doctors figured out she has a rare mitochondrial disease that is causing progressive mental and physical health to go worse.They told her there was no cure and that this disease would take her life.Yet Stemple kept ruanning and competing in marathons.One day she was training for the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon in Las Vegas when she became too sick to travel.The usually outgoing Stemple sunk into disappointment.But then she received a gift-it was a marathon medal given to her by a friend.Stemple bung the medal near her hospital bed and it was an instant conversation starter with doctors, nurses and anyone who came to visit. That medal pulled Stemple out of her disappointment. And that gave Stemple the idea to start We Finish Together, an organization devoted to connecting runners who wish to donate medals with those who might appreciate them. Stemple pens a hand - written note of encouragement on each of the medals she gives away-Recipients have included hospital patients,residents of homeless shelters and even doctors and nurses who care for the very ill."This gives them a connection to someone,"says Stemple."If they receive a medal,they know soceone cares.Can a simple medal really make a difference?Joan Musarra said yes,who suffered from a serious disease."I opened my package containing my new medal and the notes of positive,warm thoughts.I was really excited,"she wrote to Stemple.It means so much to me to feel that I am not alone.”8. What can we infer about Stemple before she got too sick to exercise?A. She was doubtful,B. She was optimistic.C. She was courageous.D. She was down-hearted.9. What inspired Stemple to found We Finish Together?A. Her friend's gift.B. The medals she won.C. The patients' request.D. The encouragement from doctors.10. How does Stemple's organization help people in need?A. By having chats.B. By contributing money.C. By giving out recycled medals.D. By connecting their relatives.11.Why did Musarra write the letter to Stemple?iberilbtdenckreslesde eA.To ask for another medal.bie. bemlidoallB.To discuss about their illnesses.C.To relieve the symptoms of her illness.D.To show the medal's positive effect on her.DYou can relax if remembering everything isn't your strong suit. Recent research makes the case that being forgetful can be a strength--in fact selective memory can even be a sign of stronger intelligence.Traditional research on memory has focused on the advantages of remembering everything. But looking through years of recent memory data, researchers found that the neurobiology of forgetting 10 02001U0 can be just as important to our decision-making as what our minds choose to remember.Making intelligent decisions doesn't mean you need to have all the information at hand. It just means you need to hold onto the most valuable information. And that means clearing up space in your memory palace for the most up-to-date information on clients and situations. Our brains do this by creating new neurons(神经元) in our hippocampus, which have the power to overwrite(重写) existing memories that are influencing our decision-making.If you want to increase the number of new neurons in our brains' learning region, try exercising. Some aerobic exercise like jogging, power walking and swimming has been found to increase the number of neurons making important connections in our brains.When we forget the names of certain clients or details about old jobs, the brain is making a choice that these details don't matter. Although too much forgetfulness can be a cause for concern, the occasional lost detail can be a sign of a perfectly healthy memory system. The researchers found that our brains facilitate decision-making by stopping us from focusing too much on unimportant past details. Instead, the brain helps us remember the most important part of a conversation.We can get blamed for being absent-minded when we forget past events in perfect detail. These findings show us that total recall can be overvalued. Our brains are working smarter when they aim to remember the right stories, not every story.12. How can we help our brains produce more neurons?A. By having deep sleep frequently.B. By practicing swimming regularly.C. By doing mental labor repeatedly.D. By learning new skills constantly.13. Which of the following can best replace "facilitate" underlined in Paragraph 5?A. Postpone.B. Repeat.C. Promote.D. Abuse.14. What conclusion can be drawn from the text?A. Memory loss is well worth noticing.B. Decisions can't be made without memories.C. We shouldn't stress total recall too much.D. Forgetting is even more important than remembering.15. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Caution: do remember to forget.B. Why and how people choose to forget.C. Want to become smarter? Learn to forget.D. Being forgetful might mean you are smarter.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。
