英语学习资料：2014考研英语阅读理解习题及答案：Dream
英语学习资料：2014考研英语阅读理解习题及答案：Dream 2014考研英语阅读理解习题及答案：DreamDream is a story that a personwatchesor even takes part in during sleep. Dream events are imaginary, but they are related to real experiences and needs in the dreamer's life. They seem real while they are taking place. Some dreams are pleasant, others are annoying, and still others are frightening.Everyone dreams, but some persons never recall dreaming. Others remember only a little about a dream they had just before awakening and nothing about earlier dreams. No one recalls all his dreams.Dreams involve little logical thought. In most dreams, the dreamer cannot control what happens to him. The story may be confusing, and things happen that would not happen in real life.People see in most dreams, but they may also hear, *** ell, touch, and taste in their dreams. Most dreams occur in color. but persons who have been blind since birth do not see at all in dreams.Dreams are a product of the sleeper's mind. They include events and feelings that he has experienced. Most dreams are related to events of the day before the dream and strong wishes of the dreamer. Many minor incidents of the hours before sleep appear in dreams. Few events more than two days old turn up. Deep wishes or fears - especially those held since childhood-often appear in dreams, and many dreams fulfil such wishes. Events in the sleeper's surrounding- a loud noise, for example, may bee part of a dream, but they do not cause dreams.Some dreams involve deep feelings that a person may not realize he has. Psychiatrists（精神病医生）often use material from a patient's dreams to help the person understand himself better.Dreaming may help maintain good learning ability, memory, and emotional adjustment. People who get plenty of sleep-but are awakened each time they begin to dream- bee anxious and restless.51. This passage is mainly about .A）why we dream during sleepB）how we dream during sleepC）what dreams areD）what benefits dreams bring to people52. According to the passage, dreams result from .A）the sleeper's wishesB）the sleeper's imaginationC）the sleeper's feelingD）the sleeper's own mind53. Which of the following is NOT true?A）Dream is a confusing story which involves little logic thought.B）Dream is related to the dreamer's real life.C）Dream is an imaginary store which seems real while taking place.D）Dream involves events that always happen in real life.54. This passage suggests that psychiatrists are .A） trying to help the dreamer recall his earlier dreams.B） trying to make the sleeper dream logically.C） studying the benefits of dreams.D） helping the sleeper fulfill his dreams55. We may infer form the passage that dreaming .A） is beneficial to peopleB） disturbs people's lifeC） makes people always restless D） deprives people of a good sleep 参考答案：51.C 52.D 53.D 54.C 55.A。

ceremonial shedding of tears,at the graveside of a spouse or the funeral of a king or queen,was once considered socially or even politically essential.I)Crying has also served other social purposes.Rousseau wrote in his Confessions that while he considered tears the mostpowerful expression of love,he also just liked to cry over nothing.J)The association of tears with art has ancient roots.The classic Greek tragedies of the fifth century B.C.were primarily celebrations of gods.Tragedies,like poetry and music,were staged religious events.Even then it was recognized that crying in response to drama brought pleasure.K)I have argued that there are neurobiological(神经生物方面的）associations linking the arts and mood disorders.When I lecture on crying,I ask my audience to let me know,by a show of hands,which art forms most move them to tears.About 80%say music,followed closely by novels(74%),but then the figures fall sharply,to43%,for poetry,and10-22%for paintings,sculpture and architecture.L)The physical act of crying is mainly one of breathing in air,which is why we choke up when we weep.This suggests to language scientists that emotional crying evolved before language,perhaps explaining why tears communicate states of mind and feelings that are often so difficult to express in words.Of course,from an evolutionary perspective,recognition of emotion(usually through facial gesture)was essential for survival.M)The earliest humans arrived several million years ago,but only150,000to200,000years ago,did cultures,language, religion and the arts arise.Along the way,tears became more than a biological necessity to lubricate（润滑）the eye and developed into a sign of intense emotion and a signal of social bonding.The development of self-consciousness and the notion of individual identity,or ego;storytelling about the origins of the world,the creation of humanity and life after death;and the ability to feel others,sadness—all were critical parts of the neurobiological changes that made us human.N)More recently,we’ve learned from neuroscience that certain brain circuits（回路）are activated(激活),rapidly and unconsciously,when we see another in emotional distress.In short,our brain evolved circuits to allow us to experience sympathy,which in turn made civilization,and an ethics based on sympathy,possible.So the next time you reach a tissue box,or sob on a Mend’s shoulder,or shed tears at the movies,stop and reflect on why we cry and what it means to cry.Because ultimately,while we love to cry,we also cry to love.46.Nowadays people respect the privacy of grief more than in the past.47.Infants cry to attract attention for survival.48.There is no scientific evidence as yet that animals can shed tears from emotion.49.Tears can perform certain communicative functions which words cannot.50.Our ability to experience sympathy is essential to the development of civilization.51.People are more inclined to cry when suffering minor forms of depression.52.Sometimes people cannot cry despite genuine grief.53.In humans,long history,tears have developed an essential role in social relationships.54.Men are less likely to give reasons for their tears.55.Crying has long been associated with art.SectionCDirections：Thereare2passagesinthissection.Eachpassageisfollowedbysomequestionsorunfinishedstatements.Foreachofthemthereare four choices marked A),B),C)and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on AnswerSheet2witha singlelinethrough thecentre.PassageOneQuestions56to60are based on the following passage.Hospitals,hoping to curb medical error,have invested heavily to put computers,smartphones and other devices into the hands of medical staff for instant access to patient data,drug information and case studies.But like many cures,this solution has come with an unintended side effect:doctors and nurses can be focused on the梦想不会辜负每一个努力的人screen and not the patient,even during moments of critical care.A poll showed that half of medical technicians had admitted texting during a procedure.This phenomenon has set off an intensifying discussion at hospitals and medical schools about a problem perhaps best described as“distracted doctoring.”In response,some hospitals have begun limiting the use of electronic devices in critical settings,while schools have started reminding medical students to focus on patients instead of devices.“You justify carrying devices around the hospital to do medical records,but you can surf the Internet or do Facebook,and sometimes Facebook is more tempting,”said Dr.Peter Papadakos at the University of Rochester Medical Center.“My gut feeling（本能的感觉）is lives are in danger,”said Dr.Papadakos.“We’re not educating people about the problem,and ifs getting worse.”A survey of439medical technicians found that55percent of technicians who monitor bypass machines acknowledged that they had talked on cellphones during heart surgery.Half said they had texted while in surgery.The study concluded,“Such distractions have the potential to be disastrous.”Medical professionals have always faced interruptions from cellphones,and multitasking is simply a fact of life for many medical jobs.What has changed,say doctors,especially younger ones,is that they face increasing pressure to interact with their devices.The pressure stems from a mantra(信条）of modem medicine that patient care must be“data driven,”and informed by the latest,instantly accessible information.By many accounts,the technology has helped reduce medical error by providing instant access to patient data or prescription details.Dr.Peter Carmel,president of the American Medical Association,said technology“offers great potential in health c a r e,”b u t he added that doctors,first priority should be with the patient.Why do hospitals equip their staff with computers,smartphones and other devices?A)To reduce medical error.C)To facilitate administration.B)To cope with emergencies.D)To simplify medical procedures.What does the author refer to by“distracted doctoring”?A)The disservice done by modem devices to doctors,nurses,as well as patients.B)The tendency of medical institutions encouraging the use of modem devices.C)The problem of devices preventing doctors from focusing on their patients.D)The phenomenon of medical staff attending to personal affairs while working.What does Dr.Peter Papadakos worry about?A)Medical students are not adequately trained to use modem technology.B)Doctors’interaction with their devices may endanger patients,lives.C)Doctors are relying too heavily on modem electronic technology.D)Pressures on the medical profession may become overwhelming.Why do doctors feel increasing pressure to use modem devices?A)Patients trust doctors who use modem technology.B)Use of modem devices adds hospitals’revenues.C)Data is given too much importance in patient care.D)Patients’data has to be revised from time to time.What is Peter Carmel’s advice to doctors?A)They follow closely the advances in medical science.B)They focus their attention on the patient’s condition.C)They observe hospital rules and regulations.D)They make the best use of modem devices.Passage TwoQuestions61to65are based on the following passage.I have closely watched my generation,known as The Millennials,for29years now.Joel Stein wrote an extensive piece on6Millennials and he remains rather optimistic about our potential.I hesitate to share his optimism because of paradox(矛盾的现象）we seem to exhibit,namely,that there are more avenues for us to entertain ourselves than ever before,yet we are more bored than ever before.Entertainment has never been more varied.We have more cable channels,television shows,and movies than ever before. Internet providers allow instant viewing of almost any movie or television program ever created.Social drinking and partying are also widely available for Millennials.Every generation develops these habits at a certain age,but Millennials seem to be extending this phase of life as they postpone marriage.Some of this is undoubtedly due to The Great leimials are having a difficult time finding jobs;only47 percent of16-to-24-year-olds are employed,the smallest share since government started recording data in1948.But do Millennials respond to these economic troubles by doing whatever it takes to make ends meet?Hardly.In fact,of the four generations Pew Research has data for,the Milennial generation does not cite workethic（勤奋工作）as distinctive of lennials want to save the world,but they sit and wait for that world-changing opportunity to be handed to them.Instead of working2-3jobs,launching a business,or doing what it takes to succeed,they lennials may be the first generation to have a lower standard of living than their parents,but with this response to adversity(逆境),perhaps deservingly so.Much ink has been spilled in management books discussing how to get the most out of these youths in the workplace. Largely,they come to the same conclusion:Millennials are entitled,over-confident,and expect too much too quickly.We should not be surprised.Today’s young adults were raised by parents who made sure to boost their self-esteem at every turn, telling them they could achieve whatever they set their minds to,and handing out prizes for the sixth place.What does the author of the passage think of Millennials?A)They show little interest in entertainment.B)They are not confident about their ability.C)They enjoy an easy life due to high technology.D)They may not have bright prospects for success.How do Millennials feel about their life?A)They can hardly do anything about it.C)It is not as good as their parents’.B)There is little in it to get excited about.D)It is full of opportunities for success.In what way are Millennials different from previous generations according to Pew Research?A)They spend less time socializing.C)They do not value hard work.B)They are indifferent to others.-D)They are more independent.What should Millennials do according to the author?A)Remain optimistic in face of adversity.C)Make full use of new opportunities.B)Start a business as early as possible.D)Take action to change their situation.Why are Millennials over-confident about themselves?A)They have been spoiled by their parents.C)They are misguided by management books.B)They can always get whatever they expect.D)They think they are young and energetic.Part IV Translation(30minutes)。

largest bookseller in the country,reported on May19that it is now selling more books in its electronicKindle format than in the old paper-and-ink format.That is remarkable,considering that the Kindle has only been around for four years.E-books now account for14percent of all book sales in this country and are increasing far faster than overall book sales.E-book sales are up146percent over last year,while hardback sales increased6percent and paperbacks decreased8percent.B)Does this spell the doom of the physical book?Certainly not immediately,and perhaps not at all.What it does mean is thatthe book business will go through a transformation in the next decade or so more profound than any it has seen since Gutenberg introduced printing from moveable type in the1450s.C)Physical books will surely become much rarer in the marketplace.Mass market paperbacks,which have been declining foryears anyway,will probably disappear,as will hardbacks for mysteries,thrillers,“romance fiction,”etc.Such books,which only rarely end up in permanent collections,either private or public,will probably only be available as e-books within a few years.Hardback and trade paperbacks for“serious”nonfiction and fiction will surely last longer.Perhaps it will become the mark of an author to reckon with that he or she is still published in hard copy.D)As for children’s books,who knows?Children’s books are like dog food in that the purchasers are not the consumers,so themarket(and the marketing)is inherently strange.E)For clues to the book’s future,let’s look at some examples of technological change and see what happened to the oldtechnology.F)One technology replaces another only because the new technology is better,cheaper,or both.The greater the difference,thesooner and more thoroughly the new technology replaces the old.Printing with moveable type on paper dramatically reduced the cost of producing a book compared with the old-fashioned ones handwritten on vellum,which comes from sheepskin.A Bible—to be sure,a long book—required vellum made from300sheepskins and countless man-hours of labor.Before printing arrived,a Bible cost more than a middle-class house.There were perhaps50,000books in all of Europe in 1450.By1500there were10million.42014年6⽉⼤学英语四级考试真题（⼆）梦想不会辜负每⼀个努⼒的⼈G)But while printing quickly caused the handwritten book to die out,handwriting lingered on(继续存在)well into the16thcentury.Very special books are still occasionally produced on vellum,but they are one-of-a-kind show pieces.H)Sometimes a new technology doesn’t drive the old one out,but only parts of it while forcing the rest to evolve.The movieswere widely predicted to drive live theater out of the marketplace,but they didn’t,because theater turned out to have qualities movies could not reproduce.Equally,TV was supposed to replace movies but,again,did not.I)Movies did,however,fatally impact some parts of live theater.And while TV didn’t kill movies,it did kill second-ratepictures,shorts,and cartoons.J)Nor did TV kill /doc/96871392.htmledy and drama shows(“Jack Benny,“Amos and Andy,“The Shadow”)all migrated to television.But because you can’t drive a car and watch television at the same time,rush hour became radio’s prime time,while music, talk,and news radio greatly enlarged their audiences.Radio is today a very different business than in the late1940s and a much larger one.K)Sometimes old technology lingers for centuries because of its symbolic power.Mounted cavalry(骑兵)replaced the chariot(⼆轮战车）on the battlefield around1000BC.But chariots maintained their place in parades and triumphs right up until the end of the Roman Empire1,500years later.The sword hasn’t had a military function for a hundred years,but is still part of an officer’s full-dress uniform,precisely because a sword always symbolized“an officer and a gentleman.’’L)Sometimes new technology is a little cranky(不稳定的）at first.Television repairman was a common occupation in the 1950s,for instance.And so the old technology remains as a backup.Steamships captured the North Atlantic passenger business from sail in the1840s because of its much greater speed.But steamships didn’t lose their sails until the1880s, because early marine engines had a nasty habit of breaking down.Until ships became large enough(and engines small enough)to mount two engines side by side,they needed to keep sails.(The high cost of steam and the lesser need for speed kept the majority of the world’s ocean freight moving by sail until the early years of the20th century.)M)Then there is the fireplace.Central heating was present in every upper-and middle-class home by the second half of the 19th century.But functioning fireplaces remain to this day a powerful selling point in a house or apartment.I suspect thereason is a deep-rooted love of fire.Fire was one of the earliest major technological advances for humankind,providing heat, protection,and cooked food(which is much easier to eat and digest).Human control of fire goes back far enough(over a million years)that evolution could have produced a genetic leaning towards fire as a central aspect of human life.N)Books—especially books the average person could afford—haven’t been around long enough to produce evolutionary change in humans.But they have a powerful hold on many people nonetheless,a hold extending far beyond their literary content.At their best,they are works of art and there is a tactile(触觉的）pleasure in books necessarily lost in e-book versions.The ability to quickly thumb through pages is also lost.And a room with books in it induces,at least in some,a feeling not dissimilar to that of a fire in the fireplace on a cold winter’s night.O)For these reasons I think physical books will have a longer existence as a commercial product than some currently predict. Like swords,books have symbolic power.Like fireplaces,they induce a sense of comfort and warmth.And,perhaps, similar to sails,they make a useful backup for when the lights go out.Authors still published in printed versions will be considered important ones.Some people are still in favor of printed books because of the sense of touch they can provide.The radio business has changed greatly and now attracts more listeners.Contrary to many peopled prediction of its death,the film industry survived.Remarkable changes have taken place in the book business.Old technology sometimes continues to exist because of its reliability.The increase of e-book sales will force the book business to make changes not seen for centuries.A new technology is unlikely to take the place of an old one without a clear advantage.Paperbacks of popular literature are more likely to be replaced by e-books.A house with a fireplace has a stronger appeal to buyers.梦想不会辜负每⼀个努⼒的⼈Section CDirections：Thereare2passagesin thissection.Each passage isfollowed by somequestions or unfinishedstatements.For each of them thereare four choices marked A),B),C)and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on AnswerSheet2witha singlelinethrough thecentre.PassageOneQuestions56to60are based on the following passage.The question of whether our government should promote science and technology or the liberal arts in higher education isn’t an either/or proposition(命题),although the current emphasis on preparing young Americans for STEM(science,technology, engineering,maths)-related fields can make it seem that way.The latest congressional report acknowledges the critical importance of technical training,but also asserts that the study of the humanities(⼈⽂学科）and social sciences must remain central components of America’s educational system at all levels. Both areas are critical to producing citizens who can participate effectively in our democratic society,become innovative(创新的）leaders,and benefit from the spiritual enrichment that the reflection on the great ideas of mankind over time provides.Parents and students who have invested heavily in higher education worry about graduates,job prospects as technological advances and changes in domestic and global markets transform professions in ways that reduce wages and cut jobs.Under these circumstances,it’s natural to look for what may appear to be the most“practical”way out of the problem:“Major in a subject designed to get you a job”seems the obvious answer to some,though this ignores the fact that many disciplines in the humanities characterized as“soft”often,in fact,lead to employment and success in the long run.Indeed,according to surveys,employers have expressed a preference for students who have received a broadly-based education that has taught them to write well,think critically,research creatively,and communicate easily.Moreover,students should be prepared not just for their first job,but for their4th and5th jobs,as there’s little reason to doubt that people entering the workforce today will be called upon to play many different roles over the course of their careers. Theones who will do the best in this new environment will be those whose educations have prepared them to be flexible.The ability to draw upon every available tool and insight—picked up from science,arts,and technology—to solve the problems of the future,and take advantage of the opportunities that present themselves,will be helpful to them and the United States.What does the latest congressional report suggest?A)STEM-related subjects help students find jobs in the information society.B)The humanities and STEM subjects should be given equal importance.C)The liberal arts in higher education help enrich students’spiritual life.D)Higher education should be adjusted to the practical needs of society.What is the main concern of students when they choose a major?A)Their interest in relevant subjects.C)The quality of education to receive.B)The academic value of the courses.D)Their chances of getting a good job.What does the author say about the so-called soft subjects?A)They benefit students in their future life.B)They broaden students’range of interests.C)They improve students’communication skills.D)They are essential to students’healthy growth.What kind of job applicants do employers look for?A)Those who have a strong sense of responsibility.B)Those who are good at solving practical problems.C)Those who are likely to become innovative leaders.D)Those who have received a well-rounded education.What advice does the author give to college students?A)Seize opportunities to tap their potential.C)Prepare themselves for different job options.62014年6⽉⼤学英语四级考试真题（⼆）梦想不会辜负每⼀个努⼒的⼈B)Try to take a variety of practical courses.D)Adopt a flexible approach to solving problems. PassageTwoQuestions61to65are based on the following passage.Energy independence.It has a nice ring to it,doesn’t it?If you think so,you’re not alone,because energy independence has been the dream of American presidents for decades,and never more so than in the past few years,when the most recent oil price shock has been partly responsible for kicking off the great recession.“Energy independence”and its rhetorical(修辞的）companion“energy security”are,however,slippery concepts that are rarely thought through.What is it we want independence from,exactly?Most people would probably say that they want to be independent from imported oil.But there are reasons that we buy all that oil from elsewhere.The first reason is that we need it to keep our economy running.Yes,there is a trickle(涓涓细流）of biofuel（⽣物燃料）available,and more may become available,but most biofuels cause economic waste and environmental destruction. Second,Americans have basically decided that they don’t really want to produce all their own oil.They value the environmental quality they preserve over their oil imports from abroad.Vast areas of the United States are off-limits to oilexploration and production in the name of environmental protection.To what extent are Americans really willing to endure the environmental impacts of domestic energy production in order to cut back imports?Third,there are benefits to trade.It allows for economic efficiency,and when we buy things from places that have lower production costs than we do,we benefit.And although you don’t read about this much,the United States is also a large exporter of oil products,selling about2million barrels of petroleum products per day to about90countries.There is no question that the United States imports a great deal of energy and,in fact,relies on that steady flow to maintain its economy.When that flow is interrupted,we feel the pain in short supplies and higher prices.At the same time,we derive massive economic benefits when we buy the most affordable energy on the world market and when we engage in energy trade around the world.What does the author say about energy independence for America?A)It sounds very attractive.C)It will bring oil prices down.B)It ensures national security.D)It has long been everyone’s dream.What does the author think of biofuels?A)They keep America’s economy running healthily.B)They prove to be a good alternative to petroleum.C)They do not provide a sustainable energy supply.D)They cause serious damage to the environment.Why does America rely heavily on oil imports?A)It wants to expand its storage of crude oil.B)Its own oil reserves are quickly running out.C)It wants to keep its own environment intact.D)Its own oil production falls short of demand.What does the author say about oil trade?A)It proves profitable to both sides.C)It makes for economic prosperity.B)It improves economic efficiency.D)It saves the cost of oil exploration.What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A)To justify America’s dependence on oil imports.B)To arouse Americans’awareness of the energy crisis.C)To stress the importance of energy conservation.D)To explain the increase of international oil trade.梦想不会辜负每⼀个努⼒的⼈Part IV Translation(30minutes) Directions：Forthispart,youareallowed30minutestotranslateapassagefromChineseintoEnglish.Youshouldwriteyouransweron Answer Sheet2.中国教育⼯作者早就认识到读书对于国家的重要意义。

2014新课标Ⅱ高考压轴卷 英语(含解析)
2014新课标高考压轴卷英语第二部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分40分) 第一节(共15小题; 每小题2分, 满分30分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A,B,C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.ADoes a Tea Break Make You More Efficient?China has been drinking tea since the time of Shennong, 5,000 years ago. Britain‟s relationship with tea is much shorter, but tea enjoys pride of place as the UK‟s national drink. According to the UK Tea Council, British people drink an average of three cups a day or a national total of 165 million cups every day.With figures like these, it is no surprise that time spent taking tea affects the working day in Britain. A recent survey found that 24 minutes a day are lost to making, buying and drinking tea and coffee. That is, £400 a year is lost in working hours per employee, or 190 days over a lifetime. So, should employers be worried about this lost working time, or does the tea break make up in other ways?One argument is that caffeine improves mental state: a drink of tea or coffee can make you active and focus on work.Professor Rogers of the University of Bristol disagrees. After years of studying caffeine he sees nothing can prove that. “Workers would perform equally well if not drinking it at all,” he says. “But if they‟re often drinking it and then go without, they‟ll feel tired and won‟t work well.”Psychologist Cooper instead emphasizes the role tea breaks play in office life, and in building social relationships. “We need to make people more active and see other people. The tea break is one way of doing this,” says Cooper.And Professor Roger s also points out the comfort effect of a hot drink: “We warm our hands on them on a cold day; they‟re comforting and play a big role in our everyday life. Whatever the caffeine‟s doing, I‟d say these 24 minutes aren‟t wasted.”21. What is the passage mainly about?A. Tea Breaks cannot make people more active at work.B. British people drink more tea than people in other countries.C. Tea break plays an important role in people‟s life in Britain.D. A lot of time has been wasted drinking tea in the working day.22. We learn from a recent survey that in Britain _______.A. £400 is lost in working hours for each personB. tea breaks take up 24 minutes in a working dayC. people spends 190 days drinking tea and coffee each yearD. people drink 165 million cups in working hours every day23. What‟s Psychologist Coopers‟ attitude towards tea break?A. Doubtful.B. Uncertain.C. Negative.D. Positive.BI suddenly heard an elephant crying as though frightened Looking down I immediately recognized that something was wrong and ran down to the edge of the near bank There I saw Ma Shwe with her three-month-old calf struggling in the fast-rising water and it was a life-and-death struggle Her calf was floating and screaming with fear Ma Shwe was as near to the far bank as she could get, holding her whole body against the rushing water andkeeping the calf pressed against her huge body . Every now and then the rushing water would sweep the calf a way.There was a sudden rise in the water and the calf wa s washed clean over the mother‟s body and was gone Ma Shwe turned quickly to reach it and pressed the calf with her head and trunk（象鼻）against the rocky bank Then with a huge effort she picked it up in her trunk and tried until she was able to place it on a narrow shelf of rock Just at this moment she fell back into the river If she were carried down it would be certain death I knew as well as she did ,that there was one spot（地点）where she could get up the bank but it was on the other side from where she had put her calfWhile I was wondering what I could do next I heard the sound of a mother‟s love Ma Shwe had crossed the river and got up the bank and was making her way back as fast as she could roaring（吼叫）all the time but to her calf it was music.24．The moment the author got down to the river bank he saw______.A．the calf was about to fall into the river B．Ma Shwe was placing the calf on the rockC．the calf was washed away by the rising waterD．Ma Shwe was holding the calf against the rushing water25．How did Ma Shwe manage to save her calf from the fast-flowing water?A．By putting it on a safe spot B．By pressing it against her bodyC．By taking it away with her D．By carrying it on her back26．How did the calf feel about the mother elephant‟s roaring?A．It was a great comfort B．It was a sign of dangerC．It was a call for help D．It was a musical note27．What can be the best title for the text?A．A Mother‟s Love B．A Brave ActC．A Deadly River D．A Matter of Life and DeathCIt is possible to do many simple tricks with numbers. Here is one trick. It has seven steps.First, write down your house number. For example, if your address is 73 Lemon Street, you would write down 73.Next, double(翻一倍) it. In other words, multiply(乘) it by two. Then, add five to this doubled number. For example, if your address was 73and you doubled it, you would get 146. Then, if you added five, you‟d get 151.So, to repeat the first three steps, write down your house number, double it, and add five.Fourth, multiply this number by 50. In our example here, if you multiply 151 by 50, you‟ll get 7550.The fifth step is t o add your age to this total. For example, if you‟re 26years old, you should add 26 to this total. In our example here, the result would be 7550 plus 26, you‟ll get 7576.Sixth, you have to add the number of days in a year, which is 365. In our example here, 365 added to 7576 is 7941.The seventh and final step is this: subtract(减) 615 from the number that you have. In our example, 7941 minus 615 is 7326.The result here, 7-3-2-6, is the trick. The first part of the number is the address and the last part of the number is the age of the person. That is, 73is the address that we started with, and 26is the age that we used.If you follow these seven steps with any address and the age of any person. You will get the same result.28. According to the trick, what number can you get if you are 16 years old and your house number is 85？A. 1685B. 8516C. 8165D. 165829. How can your age number appear at the last part of the result?A. It‟s really a trick.B. By taking all the steps except Step1 and Step 2.C. By taking Step 6and Step 7.D. By taking all the steps.30. What‟s the secret of the trick?A. It‟s impossible to know.B. By taking Step 2 and Step 4, we get the formula(公式)：your address number ×2×50.C. By taking all the steps except 1 and 2, we get the formula: 5×50+your age number+365－615=your age number.D. Both B and C.31. Is it possible for us to design another program of getting the same result？A. No, it‟s impossible to find out another way.B. No problem.C. I‟m not sure.D. It‟s nothing but a trick.DIt was a Sunday and the heavy storm had lasted all night. The morning after the storm, though, was beautiful: blue skies, warm air and a calm, inviting sea touching the shore gently.My father realized it was a good day for fishing and invited my sister and me to go with him. I was only 14 and fishing had never been my thing, but I decided to go all the same. I‟m so glad I did.On the road to the harbour we could see the terrible destruction on the coast, but the harbour itself was in fairly good shape. After all，it was protected by the arms of a bay that had only one tiny channel to the sea. As we got on board, we noticed two big humps(脊背) in the distance.On approaching them, we saw it was a mother whale with her baby. We couldn‟t believe it ——there aren‟t any whales along the coast here. The storm must have driven them across the ocean into the bay, in which the still water was so badly polluted that nothing could survive.The little baby whale——actually as big as our boat——was obviously stuck and could not move. The mother dived under the water and came up suddenly, making big whirlpools(漩涡) and waves. “She‟s trying to help her baby, but on the wrong side,” my father said. At this point, my father moved our boat in a semicircle to the other side and, heading the boat towards the baby whale, pushed it gently. With our several gentle pushes the big hump turned over and disappeared under water. Then it swam up right beside its mum. They struggled in their desperate attempts to escape but missed the exit and started heading in the wrong direction. We hurried up to the whales and tried to lead them towards the bay channel. Slowly, they let us lead them, some-times rising from the water right beside us to breathe——and to give us a trusting look with those huge eyes. Once they hit their first part of clean water flowing straight from the sea, the mum gave us a wave with her tail and off they swam into the distance.In the excitement it had felt like only a few minutes, but we had been with those wonderful animals for almost an hour and a half. That was the simple and lasting beauty of the day, Nearly four decades later, I still look back fondly to that golden day at sea.32. The author says “I‟m so glad I did.”(in Para.2)because __________.A. he witnessed the whole process of fishingB. he enjoyed the beauty of the calm seaC. he experienced the rescue of the whalesD. he spent the weekend with his family33. The harbour survived the storm owing to____________.A. the shape of the harbourB. the arms of the bayC. the still water in the channelD. the long coast line34. The mother whale failed to help her baby because__________.A. she had stayed in the polluted water for too longB. the whirlpools she had made were not big enoughC. she had no other whales around to turn to for helpD. the waves pushed her baby in the wrong direction35. What is the theme of the story?A. Saving lives brings people a sense of happinessB. Fishing provides excitement for childrenC. It‟s necessary to live in harmony with animalsD. It‟s vital to protect the environment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。
