AYou probably know who Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton is, but you may not have heard of Margaret Munnerlyn Mitchell if you are not interested in foreign literature. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who is your favorite?Jane Austen (16 December, 1775-18 July, 1817)Jane Austen, a famous English writer, was born at Steventon, Hampshire. She began writing early in life, although the prejudices (偏见) of her times forced her to have her books published anonymously (匿名).She wrote many books of romantic fiction about the gentry (贵族). Her works made her one of the great masters of the English novel. Only four of her novels were printed while she was alive. They were Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and (1816).Charlotte Bronte (21 April, 1816-31 March, 1855)She first published her works, including Jane Eyre, under the false name ofCurrer Bell. Her first novel, The Professor, was rejected by many publishers. It was not printed until 1857. She is famous for her novel Jane Eyre (1847), which was very popular when it was printed. Jane Eyre was a strong story of a plain, brave, clever woman struggling with her passions, reasons, and social condition. Margaret Munnerlyn Mitchell (8 November, 1900-16 August, 1949)She was an American author and journalist, a lifelong resident and native of Atlanta, Georgia. One novel by Mitchell was published during her lifetime, the American Civil-War-Era novel, Gone with the wind, for which she won the National Book Award for Most Distinguished Novel of 1936 and the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1937. In more recent years, a collection of Mitchell’s girlhood writings and a novel she wrote as a teenager, Lost Laysen, have been published. A collection of articles written by Mitchell for The Atlanta Journal was republished in book form.21. Why did Jane Austen publish her books with a false name?A. She lacked confidence.B. She was not well educated.C. Women were discriminated.D. Women were well protected.22. Which novel was set in the background of war?A. Sense and Sensibility.B. Gone with the Wind.C. Lost Laysen.D. The Professor.23. Who won the most prizes for her works?A. Margaret Munnerlyn Mitchell.B. Charlotte Bronte.C. Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton.D. Jane Austen.24. What can we infer about the women mentioned in the text?A. They were all fond of poetry.B. They all died in their forties.C. Their works were once rejected.D. They are famous for their great works.BA year after graduation, I was offered a position teaching a writing class. Teaching was a profession I had never seriously considered, though several of my stories had been published. I accepted the job without hesitation, as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr. Davis. My father went by the same name, and I liked to imag ine people getting the two of us confused. “Wait a minute,〞someone might say, “are you talking about Mr. Davis the retired man, or Mr. Davis the respectable scholar?〞The position was offered at the last minute, and I was given two weeks to prepare, a period I spent searching for briefcase and standing before my full-length mirror, repeating the words, “Hello, class. I’m Mr. Davis.〞 Sometimes I would give myself an aggressive voice. Sometimes I would sound experienced. But when the day eventually came, my nerves kicked in and the true Mr. Davis was there. I sounded not like a thoughtful professor, but rather a 12-year-old boy.I arrived in the classroom with paper cards designed in the shape of maple leaves.I had cut them myself out of orange construction paper. I saw nine students alonga long table. I handed out the cards, and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets as I required.“All right then,’’ I said. “Okay, here we go.〞 Then I opened my briefcase and realized that I had never thought beyond this moment. I had been thinking that the students would be the first to talk, offering their thoughts and opinions on the events of the day. I had imagined that I would sit at the edge of the desk, overlooking a forest of ha nds. Every student would shout. “Calm down, you’ll all get your turn. One at a time, one at a time!〞A terrible silence ruled the room, and seeing no other opinions, I asked the students to pull out their notebooks and write a brief essay related to the theme of deep disappointment.25. The author took the job to teach writing because .A. he wanted to be respectedB. he had written some storiesC. he wanted to please his fatherD. he had dreamed of being a teacher26. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 2?A. He would be aggressive in his first class.B. He was well-prepared for his first class.C. He waited long for the arrival of his first class.D. He got nervous upon the arrival of his first class.27. Before he started his class, the author asked the students to .A. cut some cards out of the construction paperB. write down their names on the paper cardsC. cut maple leaves out of the construction paperD. write down their suggestions on the paper cards28. What did the students do when the author started his class?A. They began to talk.B. They raised their hands.C. They kept silent.D. They shouted to be heard.CYou know the feeling-you have left your phone at home and feel anxious, as if you have lost your connection to the world. “Nomophobia〞 (无手机恐惧症) affects teenagers and adults alike. You can even do an online test to see if you have it. Last week, researchers from Hong Kong warned that nomophobia is infecting everyone. Their study found that people who use their phones to store, share and access personal memories suffer most. When users were asked to describe how they felt about their phones, words such as “hurt〞(neck pain was often reported) and “alone〞predicted higher levels of nomophobia.“The findings of our study suggest that users regard smartphones as their extended selves and get attached to the devices,〞said Dr. Kim Ki Joon. “People experience feelings of anxiety and unpleasantness when separated from their phones.〞 Meanwhile, an American study shows that smartphone separation can lead to an increase in heart rate and blood pressure.So can being without your phone really give you separation anxiety? Professor Mark Griffiths, psychologist and director of the International Gaming Research Unit at Nottingham Trent University, says it is what is on the phone that counts-the socialnetworking that creates Fomo (fear of missing out).“We are talking about an internet-connected device that allows people to deal with lots of aspects of their lives,〞says Griffiths. “You would have to surgically remove a phone from a teenager because their whole life is rooted in this device.〞Griffiths thinks attachment theory, where we develop emotional dependency on the phone because it holds details of our lives, is a small part of nomophobia. For “screenagers〞, it is Fomo that creates the most separation anxiety. If they can’t see what’s happening on Snapchat or Instagram, they become panic-stricken about not knowing what’s going on socially. “But they adapt very quickly if you take them on holiday and there’s no internet,〞 says Griffiths.29. Which of the following may Dr. Kim Ki Joon agree with?A. We waste too much time on phones.B. Phones have become part of some users.C. Addiction to phones makes memories suffer.D. Phones and blood pressure are closely linked.30. According to Giffiths, we get nomophobia because .A. we are accustomed to having a phone on usB. we need our phones to help us store informationC. we worry we may miss out what our friends are doingD. we fear without phones we will run into a lot of trouble31. Where can you probably find the above passage?A. In a research report.B. In a fashion brochure.C. In a science textbook.D. In a popular science magazine.DUS scientists say they have poured cold water on the theory that washing hands with hot water kills more germs (细菌) than unheated water. The small study of 20 people found using water at 15C (59F) left hands as clean as water heated to 38C (100F).National Health Service (NHS) recommends that people wash their hands in either cold or warm water. In this study, scientists at Rutgers University-New Brunswick wanted to find out if popular assumptions about the benefits of warm or hot water and official guidance on hot water —given to the food industry in the US - held true. They asked 20 people to wash their hands 20 times each with water that was 15C (59F), 26C (79F) or 38 degrees (100F). Volunteers were also asked to experiment with varying amounts of soap. Before they started the tests, their hands were covered in harmless bugs. Researchers say there was no difference in the amount of bugs removed as the temperature of the water or the amount of soap changed.Pr of Donald Schaffner said: “People need to feel comfortable when they are washing their hands but as far as effectiveness goes, this study shows us that the temperature of the water used did not matter.〞However, the researchers accept their study is small and say more extensive work is needed to determine the best ways to remove harmful bacteria.In the UK, NHS experts say people can use cold or hot water to wash their hands. They say hands should be washed for at least 20 seconds and stress the importanceof using enough soap to cover the whole surface of the hands. Their guidance focuses on rubbing hands together in various .ways to make sure each surface of each hand is clean.32. What does the underlined phrase “poured cold water〞 in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Proved.B. Created.C. Contradicted.D. Accepted.33. After they washed their hands with either hot or cold water, .A. volunteers nearly had the same amount of germ removedB. volunteers all talked about American food industryC. volunteers still had much germ on their handsD. volunteers all didn’t feel very comfortable34. How do researchers feel about their study?A. It is popular.B. It is incomplete.C. It is convincing.D. It is abstract.35. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Using Cold Water Instead of Hot WaterB. How to Use Cold Water to Wash HandsC. It Is Better to Wash Hands in Cold WaterD. Washing Hands in Cold Water as Good as in Hot Water第二节〔一共5小题；每一小题2分，满分是10分〕根据短文内容，从短文后的选项里面选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

She began teaching school when most teachers were men at that time. Later, she became one of the first women ever to be employed by the government.Her career in helping the sick began when her brother David became her first patient. He fell down from the roof of a house when Clara was just 11 years old. She stayed by his side and looked after him for three years, learning how to give him all his medicines.When the Civil War began in 1861, she immediately recognized that the poorly equipped soldiers needed help. Instead of waiting for others to step in, Clara collected necessary things on her own, asked the public for donations and learned how to store and distribute them to soldiers. She also read to the soldiers and wrote letters for them.After the Battle of Cedar Mountain in northern Virginia in 1862, Clara arrived at a field hospital at midnight with a vehicle full of supplies. A doctor named Paul Smith at that hospital would later write, “I thought heaven had sent out an angel that night -- her assistance arrived at exactly the right time.”In 1869, Clara went to Europe and learned about the International Committee of the Red Cross. Upon her return to the United States, she successfully founded the American Red Cross. She led the organization for the next 23 years. Her last field mission(使命) as president of the American Red Cross was to help the victims of the 1900 Galveston hurricane. She did not retire (退休) from the American Red Cross until she was 83. True to her nature, Clara always went to where the need was the greatest.Today, the American Red Cross continues the mission Clara started more than 100 years ago. With the help of thousands of volunteers, the American Red Cross provides relief to victims of disasters, as well as helps people prevent, prepare for and respond to all sorts of emergencies.24.We can learn from Paragraph 2 that Clara Barton was .A. honestB. caringC. talentedD. modest25.After the Civil War broke out, Clara Barton .A. joined the army and fought bravelyB. went to Europe for further studyC. continued to work as a teacherD. did a lot to help soldiers26.Seeing Clara Barton’s arrival, Dr. Smith must have felt .A. excited and gratefulB. proud and joyfulC. shy and nervousD. sad and sorry27.What is mainly described in Paragraph 5?A. The aim of the American Red CrossB. The importance of voluntarydonationsC. Clara Barton and the American Red Cross D Clara Barton’s contribution to the Civil WarCMany people believe that you lose the ability to learn new languages as you get older. Language experts, however, will tell you that you’re never too old to learn a new language. As you get older, it can be more difficult to learn a new language, though.Children and adults learn new languages in different ways. For children, language is their life. They study for thousands of hours every year, because they need to learn languages to become part of their communities. Adults, on the other hand, are already part of a language community. Learning a new language means becoming part of another language community, and adults rarely get the chance to practice as much as young children do.Moreover, children learning a new language are expected to make mistakes. This gives them freedom when learning to be daring and confident. Adults, however, often feel pressured to be perfect when learning a new language. This can discourage many people and make it even harder to learn a new language.When young children learn a new language, they come to see various languages as a “normal” part of society. This mindset(思维模式) helps them embrace learning a new language without feeling like they’re doing something unusual or “too hard”.So if you want to learn a new language, go for it! It’s never too late to learn a new language. If you’re older, it may take more work, but it can be done. If you’re a young child, though, now is the time to step out and learn a new language!28. By “language is their life”, the author means that children .A. can’ t live without languageB. lead a happy life every dayC. practice a new language a lotD. are taken good care of adults29. What may make it hard for the old people to learn to a new language?A. They are afraid of being laughed atB. They usually have too many interestsC. They think making mistakes is naturalD. They always make all kinds of mistakes30. Which of the following shows the difference between children and adults in learning a new language?A. The behaviors they haveB. The learning attitudesC. The future plans they have madeD. The materials they are using31. According to the author, a new language .A. can never be learned by the old peopleB. can be grasped by the old people easilyC. can be understood only by the old peopleD. can be learned by both the oldand the youngDAt heart, parents always wish the best for their children, and they work hard for that. Nowadays, we see parents deciding the schools for their little ones before the baby is even born. Once kids start going to school, some parents want to have a time-to-time update of their kid's activities. They want to come to the classroom every day, keep an eye on whom they talk to, know the friends they keep, start telling them how to do their job, and keep talking or giving a feedback(反馈) to them about everything under the sun. Besides, they send their kids for extra hobby classes, as they want their children to do best in every field.When it comes to the education, super mom and dad have all the plans made for their children, and I am sure that they have come up with the best. So, try to fight for the dreams that your parents have set for you. However, in some cases, it may happen that the kids have some different dreams. Parents sometimes don't even consider the choice of their kids and may force them to do what they wanted to do in life. It's good to plan the future for the children, but leave at least some decisions to them.So what should the children do? First, hear out all the plans that your parents have made for you. If you have some different ideas, then sit down and talk to your family about it. Be patient and respect their decisions, but put your plan forth, and make them understand what you want to do and why. Many times, you are not aware of the difficulties that you may have to face while pursuing your dreams. Ask your parents for suggestions, which will make them feel good and involved. That way, they may support you if you are going on the right path.32. The parents described in Paragraph 1 tend to .A. have a good understanding of their childrenB. worry a lot about their childrenC. take good care of their childrenD. expect too much from their children33. With respect to educational plans, the author advises .A. children to do as they are toldB. children to turn a deaf ear to their parentsC. parents to respect their children’s choicesD. parents to do everything for their children34. The underlined word “pursuing” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “ ”.A. going afterB. planning forC. adapting toD. preparing for35. What is the author’s attitude towards these super parents’ behaviors?A. OpposedB. DoubtfulC. UncaringD. Supportive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。

It had been an unusual day. The sky was dark but there were few clouds. As they drove up the street, there started to be a rumbling (隆隆的) sound heard across the ground.Jason’s father immediately realized that a tornado(龙卷风) was coming. He stopped the car and told Jason to get out immediately. Jason and his father got out of the car and made their way to the closest building. By this time the wind was blowing harder, and it was hard to see or hear. Debris was falling all over the place. Jason couldn’t see his dad anymore. He also realized that he wasn’t getting to the building fast enough. He was afraid he would be picked up by the wind and thrown into the air.As he made his way toward s the building, he noticed a field to his right. He could see an irrigation ditch(灌溉渠). In a panic, he scrambled (爬) to the ditch and lay flat on the ground. More debris and objects flew overhead. His heart was beating hard, and he was nervous. He had never been in a tornado before.After a while, the winds died down and the loud roaring sound was gone. Jason slowly lifted his head and nervously looked around. What he saw was a great mess. Jason could hardly recognize the buildings in front of him because of all the damage.He stood up and with shaky legs walked to the building. Once there, he pushed the door open and went inside. It was a public building owned by the city. It was empty, but Jason could hear noises further inside. He walked into the large room and saw his dad. He ran across the room and gave him a big hug.“Jason!

If you were lucky enough to enjoy a French meal, you would most likely be offered some bread to eat with it. The most popular bread they bake is called a baguette. Ten million baguettes are sold every year in France. Because the French expect their bread to be super fresh, most of France’s 30, 000 bakers have to end their day by throwing into the waste bin any remaining baguettes.Frenchman Franck Wallet has thought about this food waste issue for many years. He originally trained to be an urban (城市的) planner and worked in that area for many years. But his mind would regularly turn to the problems of what to do with wastedfood—especially baguettes. He began to talk with some engineers to see if they could come up with a solution. In 2016, a solution was found. They called the machine the “Crumbier”.When a good baguette is just made, it is crispy on the outside and as soft as a cloud on the inside. Once it has cooled down the bread soon becomes hard. Before the Crumbier, this old bread would be thrown away. Today, if that bread is placed into the Crumbier, it is very quickly turned into very fine breadcrumbs(面包屑). These can be mixed with fresh flour(面粉), salt and water and baked again like normal bread.Bread made with Crumbier breadcrumbs has a darker colour, but just a little bit. The taste is also a little different and has been described as having the flavour of toast. Once the breadcrumbs have been produced, they can last up to six months if they have been packed properly. Because less water is used in Crumbier bread, it will last a little longer. The Crumbier is now on sale and bakers throughout France are making sure they have one. No one wants to waste food.22．What do most of French bakers do at the end of their day A．Prepare the materials for the next day. B．Give the remaining bread out for free.C．Throw the remaining bread away. D．Sell the bread at a very lowprice.23．What did Franck Wallet care about mostA．The waste of bread. B．The new taste of bread.C．The freshness of bread. D．The popularity of bread. 24．What is special about the bread made with Crumbier breadcrumbsA．It has a much darker colour. B．It keeps for a shorter time. C．It takes less time to bake. D．It tastes like toast.25．Which word best describes bakers’ attit ude to Crumbier in FranceA．Doubtful. B．Uninterested. C．Supportive. D．Unclear.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。

It is one that takes patience, time, and true talent. Julia,a woman from Chicago, is the definition of a talented tailor.Julia’s inspiration for her designs comes from her grandma’s sketches (草图) from the 1940s. Julia’s grandma went to fashion school in her late teens and dropped out but she kept many of her sketches. Grandma showed Julia the designs she made back in fashion school, and Julia’s mind was blown.When Grandma expressed her regret for not having the opportunity to see her sketches come to life, Julia decided not to have Grandma wait to witness it.After sewing her grandma’s designs, Julia has been posting the final products on socialmedia one by one, which has made popular. One of the most excellent designs she made was a beautiful gold cocktail dress, which took Julia about two months to finish.Julia taught herself how to sew and has no professional training. Every month or so Julia continues to make her grandma’s designs a reality. Julia says,“She was very happy. I think she loves getting to connect with me and have something to do because she’s at a stage in life where, you know, many people don’t have many things to do.I think she is really proud and excited that I have completed it.”From the social media, Julia has even gotten offers from people willing to buy her dresses, Julia is very pleased, but she claims since she isn’t an expert, she doesn’t feel comfortable selling them.

The book is broken into three parts. In the introduction, it shares the tech-wise commandments, which serve as valuable conversation starters for families and provide guidelines on managing technology use. It later adds more details to these commandments in each chapter.The first part of the book gives the family unit three key action steps in creating a “tech-wise family”. First, families can choose character by developing wisdom and courage together as a family. Second, they can shape spaces within the home for creativity, which helps a family create more than consume. Third, families can structure time so that they use their resources to develop a rhythm of work and rest. It connects these three concepts to technology by giving tangible steps such as turning off devices at least one hour a day, one day a week,and one week a year so that their family can pray, feast, play and rest together.The second part explores deeply into daily aspects of life such as making sure that families use devices to benefit their lives, rather than allowing the devices to control their lives. It also shows how the writer’s family chooses to use car time for conversation rather than use devices to distract(使分心)them, how within their family there is no secrecy on devices and how families use technology intentionally in community instead of using it aimlessly alone.The final part reads more like an expansion to the second and addresses how technology can distract us from what matters most. The writer argues,“We show up in person for the big events of life. We learn how to be human by being fully present at our moments of greatest vulnerability(脆弱).”These final chapters address how to show up and love people well through simply being truly present for loved ones.8．What is the book aimed to help family members do?A．Make career choices.B．Live a simple lifestyle.C．Put technology in its place.D．Offer guidance on buying books.9．What does the underlined word “tangible” in paragraph 2 mean?A．Practical.B．Latest.C．Passive.D．Double.10．What is the second part of the book mainly about?A．The distractions that often exist in families.B．The secrets that should be kept in family life.C．The ways the devices are used in everyday life.D．The benefits individuals bring to their families.11．How does the author of the text present the book’s final part?A．By asking.B．By quoting.C．By listing statistics.D．By making comparisons.DA new kind of hybrid wheat now available to American farmers may help reduce fears over genetically engineered crops. The new hybrid wheat is being introduced as seed companies worldwide seek to increase production because of reducing grain supplies. The hybrid wheat was developed by a Chinese-owned agriculture company. The product was created without genetic engineering. The first seeds to grow the wheat will be released on 2, 000 to 2, 800 hectares of American farmland next year, according to Reuters reports.Developers or breeders create hybrid wheat by taking away the natural ability of plants to pollinate (授粉) themselves. Instead, female wheat plants in a field are pollinated by male plants of a different line. The goal of the process is to create seeds that can produce bigger crops and better resist harmful environments. The fertilized female plants produce a new kind of hybrid. Using this hybrid technology permits breeders to choose the best elements from two parent seeds to produce new seeds containing the best characteristics of both.Producers say when seed companies produce hybrid wheat seeds, some female plants often fail to become fertilized because they depend on unpredictable winds to carry pollen (花粉). Pollen is a substance produced by plants when they reproduce. During some seasons, pollen is released into the air and carried to other plants to be fertilized. Producers say the fertilization of each plant is more certain during wheat’s natural process of self-pollination.Researchers say the new hybrid wheat has to take long to come to market because the development process is more costly and complex. It could be important in increasing wheat yields and avoiding being linked to GMO development. GMO stands for genetically modified (改进的) organism. Genetically modified wheat has never been grown for industry purposes because of fears that allergens or poisons might be created. Wheat is used to make numerous major foodsworldwide.Dave Hankey owns a seed company in Park River, North Dakota. He told Reuters, “Because of the resistance to genetically modified stuff, the hybrid wheat would be considered better and safer.” He added it would certainly be the public view.12．Which of the following leads the new hybrid wheat to be developed?A．The existing unsafe grain.B．The decreasing output of food.C．The application from American farmers.D．The Chinese agriculture company’s proposal.13．What is expected of the seeds of the new hybrid wheat?A．Requiring less fertilizer.B．Producing more but smaller crops.C．Improving their natural ability of self-pollination.D．Having better adaptability to the environment.14．What can we learn about the development of the new hybrid wheat?A．It is simple and fruitful.B．It is complex but low-cost.C．It is challenging but worthwhile.D．It is temporary and limited.15．What would be the public attitude to the hybrid wheat according to Dave Hankey?A．Critical.B．Tolerant.C．Supportive.D．Cautious.七选五In a joint effort to enhance public awareness about stroke symptoms and timely action, health experts have recently illustrated the critical importance of early recognition and immediate response to stroke signs. Among the experts, Dr. Sonia Lal Gupta and Dr. Vipul Gupta highlighted the FAST method as a guide for identifying stroke symptoms quickly. 16 .Understanding Stroke and the FAST MethodStrokes can strike suddenly. They will lead to devastating neurological damage if not addressed promptly. Dr. Sonia Lal Gupta stresses the suddenness of stroke symptoms. 17 . The FAST stands for Face drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulty, and Time to call emergency services. Recognizing these signs can be the difference between life and death.18While some stroke risk factors, such as age and family history, are beyond individual control, Dr. Vipul Gupta points out that lifestyle choices play a significant role in stroke prevention. High blood pressure, smoking, and obesity are among the modifiable (可改变的) risk factors. 19 . Adopting a healthy lifestyle can also largely decrease the likelihood of experiencing a stroke.Immediate Actions and Treatment20 . Dr. Vipul Gupta emphasizes the importance of acting swiftly, even if symptoms appear to recede (逐渐减弱). Early medical intervention can lead to better outcomes and potentially save lives. While awaiting medical help, keeping the stroke victim calm, comfortable, and still is advised. Depending on the type of stroke, treatment options may vary.A．Controllable Factors and HabitsB．Risk Factors and Prevention StrategiesC．Doing regular check-ups is essential for avoiding diseasesD．Individuals can address those factors to lower their stroke riskE．They emphasized the significance of timely medical interventionF．Upon recognizing the signs of a stroke, the immediate step is to call emergency servicesG．The symptoms can include facial drooping, arm weakness, speech difficulties, and so on二、完形填空One day, Tim came home from school.

AEach time I see a balloon , my mind flies back to a memory when I was a six-year-old girl . It was a rainy Sunday and my father had recently died . I asked my mum if my dad had gone to heaven . “ Yes , honey . Of course , ” she said . “ Can we write him a letter ? ”She paused , the longest pa use of my short life , and answered , “ Yes . ” My heart jumped . “ Can the mailman go there ? ” I asked .“ No , but I have an idea . ” Mum drove to a party store and returned with a red balloon .I asked her what it was for . “ Just wait , honey . You’ll see . ” Mum told me to write my letter . Eagerly , I got my favorite pen , and poured out my six-year-old heart in the form of blue ink . I wrote about my day , what I learned at school , how Mum was doing , and even about what happened in a story I had read . For a few minutes it was as if Dad were still alive . I gave the letter to Mum . She read it over , and a smile cro ssed her face . She made a hole in the corner of the letter to tie it to the balloon . We went outsideand she gave me the balloon . I t was still raining . “ Okay , on the count of three , let it go . One , two , three . ” The balloon , carrying my letter , flew upwards against the rain . We watched until it was swallowed by the mass of clouds . Later I realized , like the balloon , that Dad had never let his sickness get him down . He was strong . No matter what he suffered , he’d keep on , fly up , and finally go beyond this cold world and his sick body . He rose into sky and became something beautiful . I watched until the balloon disappeared into the grey and white and I prayed that his strength was passed on . I prayed to be a balloon .21. When the girl asked her mother if they could write to her father , her mother __________ .A. believed it was easy to do itB. felt it difficult to answerC. considered her a creative girlD. decided to make up a lie at once22. When the girl was told that she could send a letter to her father , she __________ .A. became excitedB. jumped with joyC. started writing immediatelyD. didn’t believe her mother23. In the eyes of the author , what was the rain like ?A. An incurable disease .B. Her unforgettable memory .C. The pain her mother suffered .D. The hard time her father had .24. What would be the best title for the passage ?A. An Unforgettable ExperienceB. Fly to HeavenC. The Strong Red BalloonD. A Great FatherBNervous suspects locked up in Britain’s newest police station may feel relieved by a pleasant yellow color on the door . If they are close to confessing（供认）a crime , the blue on the wall might tip the balance .Gwent Police have abandoned colors such as greys and browns of the 20th-century police cell（牢房）and have used color psychology to decorate them .Ystrad Mynach station , which recently opened at a cost of ￡5 million has four cells with glass doors for prisoners who suffer from claustrophobia（幽闭恐怖症）. Designers have painted the frames yellow , which researchers say is a calming color . Other cells contain a royal blue line because psychologists believe that the color is likely to encouragetruthfulness .The station has 31 cells , including 12 with a “live scan” system for drunken or disturbed prisoners , which detects the rise and fall of their chest . An alarm alerts officers if a p risoner’s breathing stops and carries on ringing until the door is opened .Designers and psychologists have worked for years on color . Blue is said to suggest trust , efficiency , duty , logic , coolness , thinking and calm . It also suggests coldness and unfriendliness . It is thought that strong blues will stimulate clear thought and lighter , soft colors will calm the mind and aid concentration .Yellow is linked with confidence , self-respect and friendliness get the color wrong and it could cause fear , depression and anxiety , but the right yellow can lift spirits and self-respect .Ingrid Collins , a psychologist who specializes in the effects of color , said that color was an “ energy force ” . She said : “ Blue does enhance communication but I am not sure it would enhance truthful communication . ”Yellow , she said , affected the mind . Red , on the other hand , should never be considered because it could increase aggression . Mrs. Collins praised the designers for using colors in the cells . Gwent is not the first British force to experiment with color to calm down or persuade prisoners to co-operate , In the 1990s Strathclyde Police used pink in cells based on research carried out by the US Navy .25. The expression “ tip the balance ” in Paragr aph 1 probably indicates that the blue might __________ .A. let suspects keep their balanceB. help suspects to confess their crimesC. make suspects cold and unfriendly in law courtD. enable suspects to change their attitudes to colors26. Which of the following helps alert officers if someone stops breathing ?A. Scanning equipment .B. Royal blue lines .C. Glass doors .D. Yellow frames .27. The passage is mainly concerned with __________ .A. the relationship between colors and psychologyB. a comparison of different functions of colorsC. the use of colors in cells to affect criminals’ psychologyD. scientific ways to help criminals reform themselves in prisonCIn the United States and several other countries , 2.5 million children play baseball in an organization called Little League . They play on teams in their hometowns . Their parents and other adults in the community coach or instruct them and serve as umpires （裁判员）to make sure that everyone follows the rules . Local businesses give money for the ball fields and the uniforms . Local teams compete against each other and the winners get to play teams that are more distant . Eventually , the top teams go to the Little League World Series .One hundred years after Abner Doubleday invented baseball in Cooperstown , New York , in 1839 , Little League got started in Pennsylvania . Three men started the game for neighborhood boys with a smaller playing field and fewer innings（局）than adult baseball . Little League became popular after World War II when the game spread across the United States . By 1955 it was played throughout North America and within five years it had spread to Europe . Children’s baseball really caught on in Japan and Taiwan of China and teams from those areas won the World Series seven out of eight years . After this , the organization tried banning foreign teams from the World Series , but the ban came to an end after one year .At first , Little League was only for boys aged nine to twelve . However , in 1974 , the parents of girl baseball players brought a law suit . The courts ruled that Little League had to include both boys and girls . Later Little League added on softball and other games for teenagers up to age eighteen . Occasionally , a Little Leaguer becomes a professional player . For example , Gary Carter went from Little League to play nineteen seasons in the Major Leagues , ten of them as an All-Star player . By and large , youngsters play baseball for fun , but their parents are pround of them .28. The mothers and fathers of Little League players __________ .A. travel with the childrenB. help run the gamesC. give the teams moneyD. play in the World Series29.
