AJayce began noticing when he was in kindergarten （幼儿园）that he looked different from his classmates. They had two arms. He had only one."It started when some classmates laughed at him.” said his mother, Lewis, "He would return home with questions: 'Why am I different? Why me?'" His mother admitted that she didn't know what to do at that point because she had never found those answers herself.One day, Lewis came home from her job and turned on the TV happening to watch a news story about an eighth grader from Washington, Trashaun Willis. He became an Internet hit after posting videos of his slam dunks （灌篮），and like Jayce, he lost most of his left arm. Lewis called Jayce, in. To her surprise,Jayce was immediately attracted by the videos.At the time, it seemed that watching Trashaun would simply be an inspiring moment for Jayce — he saw a role model with a similar problem. If it had stayed just like that, Lewis would have been happy enough. But little did she know that a family friend, Jack had already reached out to the local newspaper to help set up a meeting with Trashaun to encourage Jayce to live more optimistically （乐观地）.The boys met at Washing Middle School on a Saturday afternoon several months later, and they became friends at once. Instead of spending the whole day feeling sorry for themselves, they had a lot of fun. They rode bikes around the school, took photos, played hide-and-seek and shot basketball on the court. They talked about their lost arms. Trashaun told Jayce, "The way God made us was perfect Do not let anyone discourage you and do not let others' words shake your confidence （自信）Since that meeting, Lewis has seen a noticeable change in her son. As for Trashaun, his relationship with Jayce made him look forward to helping more kids. "Honestly, it means a lot to know that I can change Jayce's life." Trashaun says. Still, he never dreamed that his videos would have such an effect."I just thought my friends would see them, and be like, 'Oh, he dunked it!'" He certainly did.21. How did some classmates treat Joyce in kindergarten?A. They looked at Jayce in surprise.B. They played with Jayce happily.C. They studied with Jayce carefully.D. They made fun of Jayce on purpose.22. Why was Jayce attracted by the video?A. The boy in the videos was good at dunking.B. He liked slam dunks very much just like the boy in the video.C. The boy in the video with only one arm touched him.D. He knew the boy in the videos very well；23. Jack arranged the meeting with Trashaun for Jayce, because he ____________ .A. meant to express pity for Jayce.B. would like to make friends with Trashaun.C. hoped to help Jayce become more self-confident.D. wanted Jayce to learn slam dunks from Trashaun.BScientists have long known that humans are built for endurance （耐力）.Now, a new study shows people's hearts are also bettered for endurance — though how much depends on whether we run, farm, or stay put on the sofa.To get to the heart of the matter, researchers examined the hearts of more than 160 adult men from four groups: long-distance runners, sedentary （久坐的）adults, highly trained football player, and the Tarahumara, native American farmers famous for their running ability.When researchers compared the thickest of the heart's ventricles （心室），they found there were clear differences. Endurance runners and farmers had larger, longer ventricles with thin walls, which could help pump （输送）more blood for a long time, the researchers report today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The football player, whose training was short, high-intensity (高强度的）exercise, had shorter, wider ventricles with thicker walls. So did the sedentary humans.Because high-intensity activity causes blood pressure to increase for a short amount of time, such shorter ventricle, thick walls, and rounder shapes are good for the football players, researchers say, by making sure enough blood is pumped to the brain. But even without those pressures, a couch potato lifestyle seems to result in the same kind of thickening.But sedentary readers shouldn't feel heartbroken — the researchers said that changes in heart shape are likely reversible （可逆转的），with more endurance activities. ；24. What was the aim of the research into hearts?A. To work out why humans are built for endurance.B. To make out what kind of ventricle is the healthiest.C. To figure out whether hearts are bettered for sedentary adults.D. To find out how endurance activities can make our hearts better.25. Jimmy is a computer engineer who has to work for long hours on computer. Which of the following ventricle and walls may suit him according to the passage?26. What will the passage talk about following the last paragraph?A. Introduction to endurance activities.B. Benefits of heart shape.C. Damage happened to sedentary adults.D. Diets on reversible health.CNewspapers, magazines, even online articles offer reading materials for people. But strictly speaking, reading means reading books. Since reading books seems to be going out of date, it has raised people's concerns （担心）.The yearly national reading survey （调査）shows people's reading habits have rarely changed over the past several years. The survey says about 59 percent of the adults in China read books, with one adult, on average, reading 4 or 5 books a year. This means a large number of people don't read at all and that those who do so only read a few books a year. A worrying fact is that even students don't seem to be reading books as they spend more time and energy watching videos online.There are many reasons why fewer people read books today. To begin with, given the fast-changing social atmosphere, many people tend to spend time on hobbies other than reading. Also, many parents don't care much about reading, and so they fail to educate their children and grandchildren to love reading books. Therefore, parents should create a good atmosphere that would encourage their children to read books. The lack of public libraries might answer for the falling number of readers. China has less than 3,300 public libraries, compared with （和…相比）more than 160,000 in the United States. And unlike countries such as the US and Britain which help read among communities, China lacks a good public service system to offer books to readers.In order to encourage people to read more books, publishers should publish books that not only have rich contents but also attract more readers to read. Besides, schools could set some special days for theme-based reading in order to encourage students to read more books. Companies or social societies could alsoorganize different kinds of activities to get more people to read more books.27. What can we learn from the national survey?A. Most adults read 4 or 5 books every month on average.B. People's reading habits have changed over the past few years.C. Students are likely to spend less time reading books.D. Adults are more interested in watching videos online.28. The underlined word "lack” in Paragraph 3 most probably means________ .A. appearanceB. shortageC. improvementD. protection29. What does the writer plan to do in the last paragraph?A. List ways of helping read books.B. Introduce reading activities tostudents.C. Prove the importance of reading books.D. Give advice on contents to publishers.30. What can be the best title of the passage?A. Why to read.B. Let's publish more books.C. How to read.D. Let's read more books.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
