AWhen I told my father that I was moving to Des Moines , Iowa , he told me about the only time he had been there . It was in the 1930s, when he was an editor of the literary magazine of Southern Methodist University (SMU) in Dallas , Texas . He also worked as a professor at SMU , and there was a girl student in his class who suffered from a serious back disease . She couldn‟t afford the operation because her family was poor.Her mother ran a boarding house in Galveston , a seaside town near Houston , Texas . She was cleaning out the attic (阁楼) one day when she came across an old dusty manuscript (手稿). On its top page were the words , “By O. Henry”. It was a nice story , and she sent it to her daughter at SMU , who showed it to my father . My father had never read the story before , but it sounded like O. Henry, and he knew thatO. Henry had once lived in Houston . So it was possible that the famous author had gone to the beach and stayed in the Galveston Boarding house , and had written the story there and left the manuscript behind by accident. My father visited an O. Henry expert at Columbia University in New York , who authenticated the story as O. Henry‟s .My father then set out to sell it . Eventually , he found himself in Des Moines , meeting with Gardner Cowles , a top editor at the Des Moines Register . Cowles loved the story and bought it on the spot. My father took the money to the girl . It was just enough for her to have the operation she so desperately needed.My father never told me what the O. Henry story was about . But I doubt that it could have been better than his own story .21.Who found O. Henry‟s manuscript ?A.The girl‟s mother.B. The author‟s father.C. The girl.D. The author.22.Which of the following might explain the fact that the Manuscript was found in the attic ?A.O. Henry once worked in Houston.B. O. Henry once stayed in Galveston.C. O. Henry once moved to Des Moines.D. O. Henry once taught at SMU.23. The underlined word “ authenticated” in Paragraph 2 probably means __________.A. namedB. treatedC. provedD. described24. According to the text , why did the author‟s father go to Des Moines ?A. To sell the O. Henry story.B. To meet the author himself.C. To talk with the O. Henry expert.D. To give money to the girl.BLife is filled with challenges . As we get older we come to realize that those challenges are the very things that shape us and make us who we are . It is the same with the challenges that come with friendship . When we are faced with a challenge , we usually have two choices. We can try to beat it off , or we can decide that the thing presenting the challenge isn‟t worth the trouble and call it quits. Although there are certainly times when calling it quits is the right thing to do , in most cases all that is needed is commitment and communication .When we are committed to something , it means that no matter how painful or how uncomfortable something is , we will always choose to face it through instead of running away from it. Communication is making a space for discussion and talking about how you feel as opposed to just saying what the other person did wrong. If you can say to a friend , “ I got my feelings hurt.” rather than “ You hurt my feelings.”you are going to be able to solve the problem much faster.In dealing with many challenges that friendship will bring to you , try to see them for what they are : small hurdles（障碍）you need to jump or get through on your way through life. Nothing is so big that it is impossible to get over, and hurt only serves to make us stronger. It is all part of growing up. It happens to everyone , and someday you will look back on all of this and say , “ Hard as it was , it made me who I am today. And that is a good thing.”25. It can be inferred from the text that ______________.A. friendship needs challengesB. challenges shape our characterC. small hurdles aren‟t worth the troubleD. commitment promotes friendship26. The writer suggested that __________ when faced with a challenge .A. one should call it quitsB. one should temporarily run away from itC. one should be committed and communicableD. one should lay it aside for a while27. According to the passage , if your friend hurts your feelings , you are well advised to_________.A. forget itB. talk to him / her about it directlyC. communicate properly with him/ herD. run away from it28. The whole passage is centered on the relationship between __________ .A. friendship and challengesB. commitment and communicationC. communication and friendshipD. challenges and the ways to get throughCThe Matschie‟s tree kangaroo is one of 10 species of tree kangaroos , all of which are endangered or threatened. A tree kangaroo is typically about the size of a raccoon (浣熊) and weighs around 19 pounds. They live in the high canopy (树冠) of the rainforest , about 100 to 150 feet in the air . The Matschie‟s tree kangaroo is orange and brown with a face that looks like a teddy bear. They can leap 60 feet to the ground from trees without getting hurt .In 1996 , Dr Lisa Dabek helped found the Tree Kangaroo Conservation Program (TKCP). Now, 16 years later , though still endangered , the population of the Matschie‟s tree kangaroo is stabilizing . Much of the success is due to the work of Dabek , Senior Coservation Scientist at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seatle , Washington , and Director of the TKCP.According to Dabek , the TKCP needed to cooperate with the local clans (部落) , some of whom kill them for food and ceremonial clothing . Dabek said, “We and the clans made a compromise . The clans would dedicate a part of their land as a … no hunting area‟. But they could continue to hunt on their other land . Together they set aside 180,000 acres of land . They called this a …Wildlife Bank‟.Animal behavior has always been interesting to Dr Dabek . She said , “ When I was 8 years old , a friend and I wrote down what we wanted to be when we grew up and sealed it inside an envelope to open when we were teenagers . When I opened it I was reminded that I wanted to be an animal trainer . And that is kind of what I am today.”29. We know that Matschie‟s tree kangaroo ____________.A. live at the bottom of trees in the rainforestB. are orange from head to footC. are the only species of tree kangaroosD. face the possibility of extinction30. Dabek‟s work in protecting the Matchie‟s tree kangaroos is _____________.A. disappointingB. amazingC. ridiculousD. meaningful31. According to the Paragraph 3 , local clans agreed to ____________.A. stop hunting the Matschie‟s tree kangaroo completelyB. leave all their land to the Matschie‟s tree kangaroosC. set aside a … no hunting area‟D. hunt the Matschie‟s tree kangaroos for special events32. The best title of the passage could be “_______________”.A. Dr Dabek , a famous naturalistB. The protection of the Matschie‟s tree kangarooC. The living habits of the Matschie‟s tree kangarooD. How Dabek became an animal loverDPassword strength has been a topic about the Internet lately. I have seen lots of clever methods for generating（创造）and remembering strong passwords. Some are better than others, but in my opinion , none are adequate . Here‟s the problem : it doesn‟t matter how strong your passwords are if you use the same one on multiple sites. All it takes is for a site to get hacked(侵入) , like Gawker media, or even Sony did , and now your super-strong password has been stolen , and every site on which you used that password has been accessed .So, the bottom line is that no matter how strong your passwords are , and no matter what clever tricks you use to help you remember them , if you surf the Internet often , the only truly secure password system is what you need .Enter LastPass. It‟s not the only password manager out there, but I like it the best. You create ONE strong password that you have to memorize and use it to access your LastPass database . The LastPass database is stored online, on LastPass‟s servers. LastPass recognizes the site you‟re on and automatically logs you in (after , optionally , asking you to re-enter your master password). LastPass also has automatic form fill and automatic password generation. This means that you can have a different , unique , very strong password for every site you log into , but you only have to remember one master password . It‟s the best of both worlds.One argument against LastPass is that if their database is attacked , then all of your sites are in danger, and that‟s true, but given that their entire line of work is keeping that information safe , I‟m willing to take that chance. The alternative is rolling dice (掷骰子) or picking phrase to create passwords, writing all of them down on a piece of paper or something , and then having to manually type them in when I go to a site .A terrible mess.There is a free version of LastPass , with additional features unlocked if you pay $ 12 for a year‟s subscription .----Joshua Bardwell33. When using LastPass , users have to remember ____________.A. all passwords usedB. the last passwordC. unique password each timeD. the master password only34. Critics are against LastPass because _______________.A. they have better ways to create passwordB. they think rolling dice is more convenientC. they have no faith in LastPass database‟s safetyD. Gawker media and LastPass were hacked once35. Joshua Bardwell writes the passage to ___________.A. share his experienceB. introduce a product of good qualityC. advertise his productD. teach how to use a new product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。

The best title of the passage could be “_______________”.A. Dr Dabek , a famous naturalistB. The protection of the Matschie’s tree kangarooC. The living habits of the Matschie’s t ree kangarooD. How Dabek became an animal loverDPassword strength has been a topic about the Internet lately. I have seen lots of clever methods for generating（创造）and remembering strong passwords. Some are better than others, but in my opinion , none are adequate . Here’s the problem : it doesn’t matter how strong your passwords are if you use the same one on multiple sites. All it takes is for a site to get hacked(侵入) , like Gawker media, or even Sony did , and now your super-strong password has been stolen , and every site on which you used that password has been accessed .So, the bottom line is that no matter how strong your passwords are , and no matter what clever tricks you use to help you remember them , if you surf the Internet often , the only truly secure password system is what you need .Enter LastPass. It’s not the only password manager out there, but I like it the best. You create ONE strong password that you have to memorize and use it to access your LastPass database . The LastPass database is stored online, on LastPass’s servers. LastPass recognizes the site you’re on and automatically logs you in (after , optionally , asking you to re-enter your master password). LastPass also has automatic form fill and automatic password generation. This means that you can have a different , unique , very strong password for every site you log into , but you only have to remember one master password . It’s the best of both worlds.One argument against LastPass is that if their database is attacked , then all of your sites are in danger, and that’s true, but given that their entire line of work is keeping that information safe , I’m willing to take that chance. The alternative is rolling dice (掷骰子) or picking phrase to create passwords, writing all of them down on a piece of paper or something , and then having to manually type them in when I go to a site . A terrible mess.There is a free version of LastPass , with additional features unlocked if you pay $ 12 for a year’s subscription .----Joshua Bardwell33. When using LastPass , users have to remember ____________.A. all passwords usedB. the last passwordC. unique password each timeD. the master password only34. Critics are against LastPass because _______________.A. they have better ways to create passwordB. they think rolling dice is more convenientC. they have no faith in LastPass database’s safetyD. Gawker media and LastPass were hacked once35. Joshua Bardwell writes the passage to ___________.A. share his experienceB. introduce a product of good qualityC. advertise his productD. teach how to use a new product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。
