( A )Many years ago,my dad was facing a serious heart condition.He was unable to do a steady job.He fell suddenly ill and had to be admitted to the hospital.He wanted to do something to keep himself busy,so he decided to volunteer at the local children’s hospital.My dad loved kids.It was the perfect job for him.He ended up working with the seriously ill children.He would talk,play,and do arts with them.One of his kids was a girl with a rare disease that paralyzed (瘫痪) her from the neck down.She couldn’t do anything,and she was very depressed.My dad decided to try to help her.He started visiting her in her room,bringing paints,brushes and paper.He stood the paper up,put the paintbrush in his mouth and began to paint.He didn’t use his hands at all.All the while he would tell her,“See,you can do anything you set your mind to.”At the end of the day,she began to paint using her mouth,and she and my dad became friends.Soon after,the little girl was sent home because the doctors felt there was nothing else they could do for her.My dad also left the children’s hospital for a little while because he became ill.Some time later after my dad had recovered and returned to work,in came the little girl who had been paralyzed and only this time she was walking.She ran straight over to my dad and hugged him really tight.She gave him a picture she had done using her hands.At the bottom it read:“Thank you for helping me walk.”My dad would cry every time he told us this story and so would we.He would say sometimes love is more powerful than doctor,and my dad—who died just a few months after the little girl gave the picture—loved every single child in that hospital.21.The author’s father worked at the local hospital to .A.realize his childhood dreamB.ease his serious heart conditionC.earn money to pay for treatmentD.keep himself occupied and happy22.How did the author’s father help the paralyzed little girl?( )A.He helped her practice walking.B.He visited her and made a toy for her.C.He showed her she could still do things.D.He painted special pictures for her.23.According to Paragraph 4,the paralyzed girl .A.gradually recovered and walkedB.eventually became a unique painterC.was sent home and never seen againD.sent him a picture painted with her mouth24.What message does the passage mainly convey?( )A.It’s better to give than to receive.B.Love can sometimes bring great results.C.Volunteering is a worthwhile thing to do.D.A sick person should not focus on his disease.( B )It must be something that many American companies hold a baby contest.Of course,babies are wonderful,and many parents would be the first to panies really bring in much money.Walgreens Baby contestIf you play the new Baby Milestones Challenge Contest by BabyCenter & Walgreens,you could win $1,000 in Walgreens & Gift Cards and Certificates.You can play the instant winner if you get a $25 Walgreens’ gift card,but you also have to write down your email address and receive all their sales and other information for the contest.Kids and BabiesKids and Babies are accepting entries for May 2014 Free Photo Contest.Baby Photo Gallery with theme albums and age group albums is moved to the new website Cute Baby Gallery.Check for their Baby Photo Contest blog’s latest update.The grand prize is $25,000.The catch: Winners are decided by the visitors coming to the site and voting for their favorite babies,so you have to advertise their site for them. has a website only for their members,but if you are into baby photos,it is well worth surfing.You could receive offers on free samples,money-saving coupons (优惠券),and chances to win the latest contests.AvonAvon is another company that has a baby photo contest this spring.Avon is advertising their newest collection.It is Avon’s only collection for the photos of babies.Babies’ age: newborn to 2 years.Just go to and upload your recent baby’s photos.The first place baby will be featured in Tiny Tillia Storybooks and win a $5,000 U.S.Savings Bond.Ten beautiful girls will win $300 worth of Tiny Tillia products.The tip is to run a search engine for all the latest contests going on and start entering them today.You could be lucky and win enough to put your baby through college!

24-hourcycle.Throughout the day and night,our internal clocks direct changes in temperature,body chemicals,hunger,sleepiness and more.One way to learn about how our body clocks tick is to mess them up and see what happens.Researchers brought 10 people to their lab.Rooms were dimly lit.There were no windows and no clocks.It was impossible to know what time it was.Participants were allowed to sleep and eat only when the scientists said it was OK.They were given a precisely calculated number of calories,designed to meet their needs,and they had to finish everything on their plates.The experiment lasted for 10 days.Participants didn’t know the design of the experiment.In particular,they didn’t know that they were living a 28-hour day instead of the usual 24.With that unusual schedule,they ended up eating and sleeping at all different times of day — and different times of the body clock — over the course of the study.The most interesting result of the study involved a hormone (荷尔蒙)called leptin.Hormones are the body’s messenger.Leptin,in particular,sends a full message to the brain.As you eat,leptin levels rise until you feel like you’ve eaten enough.When people in the study slept during the day and ate at night,however,leptin levels dropped.That suggests that people who follow unusual schedules are less likely to feel full after eating.If given unlimited amounts of food,these people would probably eat more junk food,the researchers predict.As a result,they could gain weight and develop weight-related health problems,such as diabetes and heart disease.29.The purpose of doing the experiment is to see .A.how much one can eat at nightB.how our body clocks workC.why some people gain weight easilyD.whether people can live in darkness30.Which of the following statements about the participants is TRUE during the experiment?A.They could tell the time according to the sunlight.B.They had to eat all the food they were given.C.They could sleep whenever they felt tired.D.They were told the purpose for every instruction.31.The experiment shows that .A.leptin levels will rise when you feel hungry and want to eatB.people living a 28-hour day get hungry easilyC.hormones have nothing to do with our body clocksD.you may gain weight if you don’t follow the usual schedule32.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A.How to do a successful experimentB.Body clocks’ effect on our lifeC.Hormones’ effect on our bodyD.How to lose weight and keep healthy( D )The term “ lifelong learning” is often used to define the attitude of staying in a learning mode.It is a term that is used loosely and lacks structure,importance,value and support in India.Many developed countries,for example Canada,have government programmes based on UNESCO guidelines and even offer financial support under Lifelong Learning Plans (LLPs).In the Indian context,learning is often done to earn a degree.We are a degree-oriented country.A hard fact that these degrees are sometimes mere pieces of paper,which do not establish any fact of reallearning happening,or that some degrees do not help get a job in today’s times,is still not an accepted reality.The concept of voluntary and continuous learning,whether to enhance professional or personal skills,is still a long shot in India.The whole idea of lifelong learning recognizes the fact that not all learning needs to be formal,or restricted to student life until the age of 28.It can be a process that is continuous throughout life,based on situations and varied needs.Take the case of a retired professional.She may be interested in fine arts,but wasn’t able to do so in her career.Can’t she then enroll in (登记) a degree programme of fine arts after retirement?Our current system doesn’t quite support such needs of learning,for it doesn’t admit anybody beyond the age of 45.Another aspect of lifelong learning is “life-deep learning”.It is another word for value education or value-based teaching.In earlier times,there used to be periods in classroom learning called moral science that taught the importance of right versus wrong.Further,“ life-wide learning” is a term that refers to lateral(横向的)learning—from experiences and situations different from formal,structured education.These three concepts—lifelong learning,life-deep learning and life-wide learning—constitute the framework of UNESCO’s recommendation to take education to the next level.33.Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 2?A.Degrees are designed to get a job.B.Canada is also a degree-oriented country.C.India has a long way to go in “lifelong learning”.D.Lifelong learning doesn’t need money support.34.Which of the following can not be used to describe “lifelong learning”?A.Voluntary.B.Continuous.C.Important.D.Formal.35.What can we infer from the example of the woman in Paragraph 3?A.She didn’t do well in her career before retirement.B.She didn’t become an artist until the age of 45.C.She gained a chance to study fine arts after retirement.D.The elderly lose the right of study in the current system.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。
