A few days before Christmas, they will receive letters at their ownhomes from Santa.Elf UniversityElf Un iversity is the place where elves go to school. It’s also the place where kids enjoy making Christmas presents, coloring Christmas pictures, and even filling out applications to become elves one day.AdmissionBuy your tickets online to avoid waiting in line. If the tickets sell out when you buy them online, there will still be tickets available at the ticket office.21. Where can you probably see the article?A. a tourist bookletB. a newspaperC. a science fictionD. a story book22. The North Pole Adventure________.A. arranges elves to entertain kids in some areasB. provides visitors with tour guide serviceC. is modeled on other Christmas attractionsD. is open to visitors for nearly one month.23. What can we learn from the passage?A. Kids can have fun in Santa’s House by dressing up like SantaB. Kids who visited Post Office would receive letters on Christmas EveC. Elf University offers kids opportunities for becoming elvesD. Tickets to the adventure can be bought online if they sell out at the ticket officeBWhen I was young, I wished for a good car and a big house. That was my idea of success. I took all the advanced classes and tried to do well in the exams with my mind set on going to a key school. I just knew that I would somehow become famous and be able to afford the car and the dream house. All the way through junior years, my mind was planning this beautiful future.Then in the eleventh grade, many losses changed my mind. First, one of my friends died at 16. Soon after, my great-grandmother passed away, followed by my beloved fourth-grade teacher. These events left me not knowing what to do or where to go. Death had never touched me so closely.After a long period of emptiness, it finally struck me: Life is not promised and neither is future success. Though I was attempting to achieve material success, I was not enjoying my daily life. I realized that finding inner peace, purpose and happiness will stick with me forever and that is real success.Enjoying life’s prec ious quirks (偶发事件) makes an ordinary person more successful than a wealthy person who isn’t content and takes everything for granted. The summer before senior years, my attitude changed greatly. Instead of memorizing facts, I began learning skills. Instead of focusing on the future, I focused on today and the many blessings and successes that came with it.I still get excellent grades, but now I devote weeks to studying instead of struggling for exams, and I think about the future with a deeper sense of meaning. For me, being successful means truly living life each day.24. The reason why the author changed his idea of success is that ________.A. he can’t afford his houseB. he lost a few beloved persons in a short timeC. he didn’t know what to do or where to goD. his beloved teacher died25. According to the author, which of the following is the real success for a person?A. Being famous.B. Material achievements.C. Good car and big house.D. Truly living life each day.26. What does the author want to tell the readers?A. His opinion about success.B. The true meaning of studying.C. How to achieve success.D. The true meaning of life.27. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. He didn’t want to take all the exams.B. His teacher died before the death of his great-grandma.C. The author didn’t do well in all the exams.D. The author thinks that success is not promised.CIn today’s society, language plays a key role in defining gender (性别) by vocabulary, and alsotheir non-verbal vocabulary. Each one of these different types of ways of communicating is obviously different between men and women.Many different studies show that men tend to talk much more than women. It has also been proven that women tend to speak faster than men; this is due to the fact that women tend to be interrupted more often than men are, and also have the ability to speak more clearly, precisely, and more quickly than men. In one study it was found that women spoke for an average of three minutes describing a painting, as opposed to the thirteen-minute average it took men to describe it.Men and women also tend to have a very different non-verbal way of communicating, which can also make it very hard for one another to understand what the opposite sex is trying to say. Men’s body language is much more reserved when talking to women. Men tend not to make as much eye contact and they generally stay farther away from women when talking to them. Men avoid other people’s body space while talking, and they also tend to sit back when talking. All of these have given off the impression of disinterest or boredom. Women are by far better listeners and much more enjoyable to talk with and they tend to raise more topics for conversation.Women also make it clearer whether or not the conversation is going somewhere or just stuck in neutral. After learning about our styles of communicating with each other, I have decided that although men have not quite mastered communicating, what fun would it be if we all spoke the same “language”? The little games men and women play with each other while conversing would be lost. The question everyone asks himself or herself after talking with someone of the opposite sex, “I wonder if there’s something there?” would no longer exist.28. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. The differences between men’s and women’s languages.B. The different speed of men’s and women’s speech.C. The ability of men’s and women’s spoken language.D. The non-verbal vocabulary of men and women.29. In what way do men and women differ according to the third paragraph?A. Politeness of communication.B. Understanding of speech roles.C. Application of body language.D. Speed of understanding.30. What is the aut hor’s attitude to the differences between men’s and women’s communication?A. Cautious.B. Favorable.C. Ambitious.D. Skeptical.31. What is the best title for the text?A. Women, born excellent talkersB. Men’s and women’s soci al rolesC. Opposite gender, different languageD. V ocabulary and communicationDManagers and office busybodies might be keen on a clean desk, but it seems that in terms of productivity, they could have it all wrong. “A messy desk can actually lead people towards clearer thinking,” say researchers from Germany.The researchers found in a series of linked studies---using a messy desk and a messy shop front---that people actually thought more clearly when all around was chaos, as they sought to simplify the tasks at hand. That is, visual and mental clutter (杂乱) forces human beings to focus and think more clearly. For instance, famous thinkers and writers such as Albert Einstein and Roald Dahl have been notorious (臭名昭著的) for their untidy desks.“Messy de sks may not be as detrimental as they appear to be, as the problem-solving approaches they seem to promote work efficiency or enhance employees’ creativity in problem solving,” say the authors.“Business and government managers often promote ‘clean desk’ p olicies to avoid disorganized offices and messy desks, for the purpose of boosting work efficiency and productivity,” writes a researcher, Jia Liu of the University of Groningen. “This practice is based on the conventional wisdom that a disorganized and me ssy environment can clutter one’s mind and complicate one’s judgments.”“However, not all evidence supports this conventional link between a messy environment and a messy mind”. The scientists tested people’s response in various messy environments, includi ng a messy shop front, a disorganized desk, and even a work environment where a language task reminded people of messiness.The authors found in the series of six studies that people tended towards simplicity in their thinking.“They classified products in a simpler manner, were willing to pay more for a T-shirt that has a simple-looking picture, and sought less variety in their choices”, said the researchers.32. Why did the author take Albert Einstein and Ronald Dahl for example?A. To tell readers untidy desks can make you as famous as them.B. To inform readers of one way to success—untidy desks.C. To attract readers and show the author’s wide range of knowledge.D. To convince readers that untidiness is not all that bad.33. The underlined word “detrimental” probably mean_____.A. commonB. accessibleC. disadvantageousD. beneficial34. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. People tend to clear up the mess before thinking clearly.B. A messy environment will certainly lead to a messy mind.C. A clean environment will do great harm to work efficiency.D. All people are not in favor of “clean desk” in the office.35. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Messy desks in the office can have a positive effect on employees.B. We should make our office messy to improve our work efficiency.C. The messier the desks are, the more efficient the employees are.D. Clean desks can promote the employees’ productivity and creativity.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。
