AIt was an extremely hot day. My younger brother Walt and I had decided to go swimming in the stream behind Mr. Blickez’s house, because it would be the only way to cool ourselves down. Across his farm and through some woods was a deep swimming hole supplied by several cold springs(泉水).The only problem with our plan was that this farm was guarded by a huge mean Hereford bull(公牛). Mr. Blickez had told us that Elsie, the animal’s name, was the meanest bull in town, maybe even the county, and we believed in him. But the hotter it got, the more we thought there was reason to doubt about what he said. For one thing, we remembered Mr. Blickez liked telling tall tales; for another, Elsie seemed like a strange name for a bull. Finally, I talked Mom into asking permission for us to walk across the farm, and Mr. Blickez finally agreed.On our way across the farm, we stopped at the fence(围栏)to admire the swimminghole. The sun shone brightly across the cool waters. We couldn’t wait to get there. Suddenly, Walt shouted loudly. Elsie had run to him and was licking(舔)his back. I immediately hid under the fence. However, when I looked up, I saw that Elsie wasn’t a big mean bull at all. She was just a friendly young cow, and she was going to keep licking my brother’s back as long as he stood still.When we discovered the truth, we were so happy. We then ran to the swimming hole and jumped in. The water was just as wonderful as we had dreamed. After that day, we had many good days and we often visited our secret swimming hole guarded by the so-called “big mean bull”.21. The author and his brother decided to go swimming because ______.A. there was no water to take a shower at homeB. the weather was so hot that they couldn’t stand itC. Mr. Blickez invited them to his house for swimmingD. they wanted to try their newly-found swimming hole22. What was the problem faced by the author and his brother?A. They didn’t kno w where to swim.B. They had to face a very mean bull.C. Their mother didn’t want them to swim.D. They didn’t know how to get to the stream.23. What can we know about Mr. Blickez?A. He often tells lies.B. He is very shy.C. He is an honest man.D. He is very kind to children.24. When Elsie saw the author’s brother, she ______.A. tried to attack himB. immediately ran awayC. showed her friendlinessD. tried to drive him awayBIn 2013, 27-year-old Mason Wartman left his job on Wall Street and opened Rosa’s Fresh Pizza in Philadelphia, which sells slices of pizza for only $1. To many of his friends, it meant the ending of a brilliant career, but the man was simply trying to achieve a different sort of greatness with his pizza shop.The shop is operate d by a “pay it forward” system—customers who walk in to buy pizza can also donate a slice for a homeless person. In this way, about 30 to 40 homeless people are able to eat for free at Rosa’s every single day. In the past one year, the shop has served 8,500 free slices of pizza to homeless people.Even before the pay-it-forward system, Rosa’s Pizza always gave away free slices to hungry homeless people in the neighborhood. But one day last March, a customer asked if he could “pay it forward” and buy a slice for the next homeless person who walked in. Wartman immediately agreed, and then put up a sticky(黏的) note on the wall. Anyone who was hungry or broke could use the sticky note for a free slice.Word quickly spread and before long, more and more customers came in with similar offers. Before long, the walls were covered with over 500 sticky notes. Ever since that first customer paid it forward, over 8,500 slices have been given away to feed those in need.The homeless pizza recipients(接受者) can even leave their own messages on the wall expressing gratitude or motivation. One of the notes from a homeless customer at the restaurant read,“I just want to thank everyone that donated to Rosa’s; it gave me a place to eat every day and the opportunity to get back on my feet. I shall start a new job tomorrow!”25. Which of the following is TRUE about Wartman?A. He used to be homeless himself.B. He was tired of his job on Wall Street.C. He has successfully persuaded many people to donate.D. He has made lots of money by opening the pizza shop.26. What are customers encouraged to do in Wartman’s pizza shop?A. To work as volunteers in their free time.B. To donate money to those less fortunate.C. To invite the homeless to share their pizza.D. To give away free slices of pizza to the homeless.27. What does the underlined phrase “get back on my feet” mean?A. Recover from the disease.B. Make my own living.C. Reunite with my family.D. Find the happiness in life.28. Which of the following words can best describe Wartman?A. Generous and helpful.B. Considerate and cautious.C. Easy-going and straightforward.D. Independent and reliable.CIf your head is overheating, you are likely to yawn(打哈欠) soon, according to a new study that has found the main purpose of yawning is to control brain temperature. The study explains several mysteries about yawning, such as why it’s most commonly done just before and after sleeping, why certain diseases lead to too much yawning, and why breathing through the nose often stops yawning.“Brains are like computers,” Andrew Gallup, a researcher in the Department of Biology at Binghamton University who led the study, said. “They operate best when cool.”He and his co-workers Michael Miller and Anne Clark did researches on yawning in parakeets(长尾小鹦鹉), which have relatively large brains, live wild in Australia, often experience temperature changes, and, most importantly, do not yawn when others yawn, as humans and some other animals do.For the study, the scientists put parakeets under three different conditions: increasing temperature, high temperature and normal temperature. While the frequency(频率) of yawns did not increase under the latter two conditions, it increased greatly when the researchers increased the temperature.It’s now believed yawning operates like a radiator(散热器).If air in the atmosphere is cooler than the brain and body temperatures, taking it in quickly cools blood, which in turn cools the brain. The new findings also explain why tired people often yawn. Both tiredness and sleep loss can increase brain temperature, while yawning can cool down the brain.In the future, researchers may focus more on brain temperature and its role in diseases and their symptoms. But the new study on yawning changes the popular idea that yawns are just signs of getting tired of something.29. What’s the best title for this passage?A. Why don’t people yawn at normal temperature?B. The yawn explained: it cools your brain.C. Yawning operates like a radiator.D. The cause of yawning—finally found out.30. The main reason why researchers chose parakeets to do the research is that parakeets______.A. have very large brainsB. live wild in AustraliaC. are not affected by others’ yawningD. experience frequent temperature changes31. The writer may suggest doing all of the following to stop yawning EXCEPT______.A. breathing through the noseB. turning up the heatC. enjoying some cool windD. putting a cold towel on your forehead32. The passage suggests that _____.A. parakeets never yawn at normal temperatureB. it is not normal for people to yawn after having a sleepC. the more frequently you yawn, the better you will feel.D. the idea that yawns are just signs of boredom is wrong.DWhat are you feeling right now as you start to read this? Are you curious hopingthat you’ll learn something about yourself? Bored because this is something you have to do for school and you’re not really into it—or happy because it’s a school project you enjoy? Perhaps you’re attracted by something else, like feeling excited about your weekend plans or sad because you just went through a break-up.Emotions like these are part of human nature. They give us information about what we’re experiencing and help us know how to react. We sense our emotions from the ti me we’re babies. Young children react to their emotions with facial expressions or with actions like laughing or crying. They feel and show emotions, but they don’t yet have the ability to name the emotion or say why they feel that way.As we grow up, we become more skilled in understanding emotions. Instead of just reacting like little kids do, we can identify(定义)what we feel and put it into words. With time and practice, we get better at knowing what we are feeling and why. This skill is called emotional awareness.Emotional awareness helps us know what we need and want, or don’t want. It helps us build better relationships. That’s because being aware of our emotions can help us talk about feelings more clearly, avoid or settle conflicts(冲突) better, and move past difficult feelings more easily.Some people are more naturally in touch with their emotions than others. The good news is that everyone can be more aware of their emotions. It just takes practice. But it’s worth the effort.Emotional awareness is the first step toward building emotional intelligence,a skill that can help people succeed in life.33. How do young children react to emotions?A. With laughter and shouts.B. With signs and expressions.C. With facial expressions and actions.D. With gestures of different kinds.34. From the passage we know that emotional awareness actually _______.A. enables us to live in society more easilyB. lets people control others betterC. brings about conflicts between peopleD. smooths away difficulties in our life35. Where is the passage probably taken from?A. Science fiction.B. An advertisement.C. A science magazine.D. A television show.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。
