How do you live to 100? Here 4 of the country’scentenarians (百岁老人) give their advice on staying youthful.Francisco Nunez, 112He is from Bienvenida, Badajoz, southern Spain. Nunez lives with his d aughter. He says he doesn’t like the pensioners’ (领养老金的人) daycare center because it’s full of old people, whose negative attitude towards life affects him deeply sometimes. Despite his old age. he has always maintained (保持)a youthful outlook, and that is what has kept him going on. Pedro Rodriguez, 106He lives in Cangas de Onis, Asturias, northern Spain. Rodriguez plays the piano every day in the living room of the flat where he lives with his wife who is nearly 20 years younger than him. Their daughters visit them often. His hobby is something that he feels has kept him young. “The nuns (修女) taught me how to play the piano as achild,” he says.Maximino San Miguel, 102He lives in Leon, northern Spain. San Miguel discovered his passion (酷爱) for amateur dramatics at the age of 80 and has participated in many local production s. He didn’t go to school as a child because he was sent to work as a shepherd (牧羊人). He prefers reading books about drawing and travelling. Now this hobby, he said, has kept him full of energy. Pilar Fernandez, 101She lives with her daughter Pili, granddaughters Flori and Ana in Ambas, Asturias, northern Spain. Fernandezsuffered hunger and hardship during the war years alongside her nine brothers and sisters. To avoid history repeating itself, she limited herself to just one child. “From pure fear, I didn’t have anymore,” says Fernandez.One of the best things for her health, she says, is tending livestock (家畜) and a vegetable garden.21.Why does Francisco Nunez dislike living with other old people?A.They may depend on his help.B.He is sensitive to his old age.C.They may affect his attitude to life.D.He has more kids to look after at home.22.What does Maximino San Miguel want to do most in his life now?A.Working as a shepherd.B.Reading books.C.Taking up painting.D.Going travelling.23.What benefits her health according to Pilar Fernandez?A.Doing gardening.B.Learning history.C.Living with kids.D.Having more children.24.What can we infer about the four old people from the text?A.They are fond of exercising regularly.B.They led a hard life when they were young.C.They have the same hobbies in their free time.D.They have their own method of staying youthful.BIt was a cold March day in High Point, North Carolina. The girls on the Wesleyan Academy softball were waiting for their next turns at bat during practice, stamping their feet to stay warm. Eighth-grader Taylor Bisbee shivered (发抖) a little as she watched her teammate Paris White play. The two didn’t know each other well—Taylor had just moved to town a month or so before.Suddenly, Paris fell to the ground, “Paris’s eye rolled back,” Taylor says. “She started shaking. I knew it was an emergency.”It certainly was, Paris had suffered a sudden heart failure. Without immediate medical care, Paris would die. At first, no one moved. The girls were in shock. Then the softball coach shouted out, “Does anyone know CPR?”CPR is a life-saving technique. To do CPR, you press on the sick person’s chest so that blood moves through the body and takes oxygen to organs. Without oxygen, the brain is damaged quickly.Amazingly, Taylor had just taken a CPR course the day before. Still, she hesitated. She didn’t think she knew it well enough. But when no one else came forward, Taylor ran to Paris and began doing CPR, “It was scary. I knew it was the difference between life and death,” says Taylor.Taylor’s swift action helped he r teammates calm down. One girl called 911. Two more ran to get the school nurse, who brought a defibrillator, an electronic devices (器械) that can shock the heart back into work. Luck stayed with them: Paris’ heartbeat returned.“I know I was really lucky,” Paris says now. “Most people don’t survive this. My team saved my life”.Experts say Paris is right. For a sudden heart failure, the single best chancefor survival is having someone nearby step in and do CPR quickly.Today, Paris is back on the softball team. Taylor will apply to college soon. She wants to be a nurse. “I feel more confident in my actions now,” Taylor says. “I know I can act under pressure in a scary situation.”25.What happened to Paris on a March day?A.She caught a bad cold.B.She had a sudden heart problem.C.She was knocked down by a ball.D.She shivered terribly during practice.26.Why does Paris say she was lucky?A.She made a worthy friend.B.She recovered from shock.C.She received immediate CPR.D.She came back on the softball team.27.Which of the following words can best describe Taylor?A.Creative and kind.B.Courageous and calm.C.Warm-hearted and generous.D.Intelligent and professional.CWhen it comes to success in business and success in life, there are few qualities as important as confidence.People naturally have different levels of confidence. Some have a higher level of confidence than others do, but even those whose confidence is lacking can learn to build their level of confidence and reach their most important goals. Increasing self-confidence is one of the most common reasons people give for seeking the help of psychologists(心理学家）and other professionals.One of the many places where a greater level of confidence is useful is in the workplace. We all know how difficult it can be, for instance, to ask the boss for a raise. This process can be extremely difficult for those who lack confidence in their own abilities. After all, if you are unsure about your own abilities, how will you ever convince your boss that you deserve more money for the work you do?Even if you are not asking for that big raise, having plenty of confidence in your abilities is important to success. If you are certain of your abilities, chances are that those around you, whether they are your coworkers, your colleagues or your superiors(上级), will see that confidence, and that will help to assure them that you are the best at what you do.Being thought of as the person to go to, and being seen as an expert in your chosen field, is naturally very important to success on the job. If you can make yourself the person people go to for guidance and advice, you will help to protect yourself from the ever present danger of downsizing. After all, if you are a recognized expert at the office, you will be regarded as an indispensable member of the team.Having a high level of confidence, after all, does not mean overlooking the places where you could improve. Knowing what you do well and where you need help will help you enjoy increased success and confidence.28.What is the passage mainly about?A.The influence of confidence on one’s life.B.The importance of confidence to success.C.The difference of people’s confidence.D.The judgment on one’s confidence.29.Psychologists and other professionals can offer help to those _____.A.who think their goals are hard to reachB.who expect to give guidance to othersC.who want to ask the boss for a raiseD.who dream to be recognized experts30.What does the underlined word indispensable in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A.importantB.attractiveC.outgoingD.energetic31.What message does the author want to convey (传达) in the last paragraph?A.To overlook one’s disadvantages.B.To make full use of one’s advantages.C.To have great confidence in one’s abilities.D.To make objective(客观的) evaluations of one’s abilities.DThe Great Wall of China, one of the greatest wonders of the world, was enlisted in the World Heritage by the UNESCO in 1987. Just like a gigantic dragon, the Great Wall winds up and down across deserts, grasslands and mountains, stretching about 6,700 kilometers from east to west of China. With a history of more than 2,000 years, some parts of the Great Wall are now in ruins or even entirely disappeared. However, it is still one of the most appealing attractions around the world.No one can tell for sure when the building of the Great Wall was started, but it is popularly believed that it originated as a military fortification(要塞) against intrusion(侵入）by tribes on the borders during the earlier Zhou Dynasty. Late in the Spring and Autumn Period, some states extended the defence work to prevent the attacks from other states.It was not until the Qin Dynasty that the separate walls were connected to form a defensive system by Emperor Qin Shi Huang. After the emperor unified the country in 214 BC, he ordered the construction of the wall. It took about ten years to finish and the wall stretched from Gansu Province to Jilin Province. The wall not only served as a defence in the north but also symbolized the power of the emperor.Further construction also experienced several dynasties. The present Great Wall in Beijing is mainly remains from the Ming Dynasty. Today, the Great Wall has become a must-see for every visitor to China. Few can help saying “Wow” when they stand on top of a beacon tower and look at this giant dragon. It has become a national pride of Chinese people.32.The underlined word “appealing” probably means “______”.A.hugeB.attractiveC.ordinaryD.moving33.In the Qin Dynasty, ______.A.the construction of the Great Wall was finished in 204BCB.the emperor wanted to invade other minor statesC.the defensive system of the Great Wall was separatedD.the Great Wall began its way from Jilin Province34.According to the passage, the Great Wall _______.A.is from the west to the eastB.is as long as 6,700 milesC.was built in several dynastiesD.was begun in the Qin Dynasties35.The best title for the passage probably is _______.A.History of the Great WallB.Culture of the Great WallC.Construction of the Great WallD.Projection of the Great Wall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。

包头市第一中学2016——2017学年度第二学期期中试题高二英语第I卷第一部分听力（略）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）阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。

AThe elephant was lying heavily on its side, fast asleep. A few dogs started barking at it. The elephant woke up in a terrible anger: it chased the dogs into the village where they ran for safety. That didn't stop the elephant. It destroyed a dozen houses and injured several people. The villagers were scared and angry. Then someone suggested calling Parbati, the elephant princess.Parbati Barua's father was a hunter of tigers and an elephant tamer. He taught Parbati to ride an elephant before she could even walk. He also taught her the dangerous art of the elephant round-up -- how to catch wild elephants.Parbati hasn't always lived in the jungle. After a happy childhood hunting with her father, she was sent to boarding school in the city. But Parbati never got used to being there and many years later she went back to her old life. "Life in the city is too dull. Catching elephants is an adventure and the excitement lasts for days after the chase," she says.But Parbati doesn't catch elephants just for fun. "My work," she says, "is to rescue man from the elephants, and to keep the elephants safe from man." And this is exactly what Parbati has been doing for many years. Increasingly, the Indian elephant is angry: for many years, illegal hunters have attacked it and its home in the jungle has been reduced to small pieces of land. It is now fighting back. Whenever wild elephants enter a tea garden or a village, Parbati is called to guide the animals back to the jungle before they can kill.The work of an elephant tamer also involves love and devotion. A good elephant tamer will spend hours a day singing love songs to a newly captured elephant. "Eventually they grow to love their tamers and never forget them. They are also more loyal than humans," she said, as she climbed up one of her elephants and sat on the giant, happy animal. An elephant princess indeed!21. For Parbati, catching elephants is mainly to___________.A. get long lasting excitementB. keep both man and elephants safeC. send them back to the jungleD. make the angry elephants tame22. Before Parbati studied in a boarding school, __________.A. she spent her time hunting with her fatherB. she learned how to sing love songsC. she had already been called an elephant princessD. she was taught how to hunt tigers23. Indian elephants are getting increasingly angry and they revenge because _____.A. they are caught and sent for heavy workB. illegal hunters capture them and kill themC. they are attacked and their land gets limitedD. dogs often bark at them and chase them24. The passage starts with an elephant story in order to explain that in India _____.A. people easily fall victim to elephants' attacksB. the man-elephant relationship is getting worseC. elephant tamers are in short supplyD. dogs are as powerful as elephantsBGoldie's SecretShe turned up at the doorstep of my house in Cornwall. No way could I have sent her away. No way, not me anyway. Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before. “We're moving house’’; "No space for her any more with the baby coming." "We never really wanted her, but what could we have done? She was a present." People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal. And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen.I called her Goldie. If I had known what was going to happen I would have given her a more creative name. She was so unsettled during those first few days. She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her. There was nothing I could do to make her happy, it seemed. Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owner's. But eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down. Always by my side, whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the fire.That's why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we were out for a walk. We were a long way from home, when she started barking and getting very restless. Eventually I couldn't hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could.By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie. But when I saw her licking (舔) the four puppies (幼犬) I started to feel sympathy towards them. "We didn't know what had happened to her," said the woman at the door. "I took her for a walk one day, soon after the puppies were born, and she just disappeared." "She must have tried to come back to them and got lost," added a boy from behind her.I must admit I do miss Goldie, but I've got Nugget now, and she looks just like her mother. And I've learnt a good lesson: not to judge people.25. How did the author feel about Goldie when Goldie came to the house?A. Shocked.B. Sympathetic.C. Annoyed.D. Upset.26. In her first few days at the author's house, Goldie .A. felt worriedB. was angryC. ate a littleD. sat by the fire27. Goldie rushed off to a farmhouse one day because she .A. saw her puppiesB. heard familiar barkingC. wanted to leave the authorD. found her way to her old home28. The passage is organized in order of .A. timeB. effectivenessC. importanceD. complexityCHank Viscardi was born without legs. He had not legs but stumps(残肢)that could he fitted with a kind of special boots. People stared at him with cruel interest. Children laughed at him and called him ‘Ape Man’ (猿人) because his arms practically dragged on the ground.Hank went to school like other boys. His grades were good and he needed only eight years to finish his schooling instead of the usual twelve. After graduating from school, he worked his way through college. He swept floors, waited on table, or worked in one of the college offices. During all this busy life, he had been moving around on his stumps. But one day the doctor told him even thestumps were not going to last much longer. He would soon have to use a wheel chair.Hank felt himself getting cold all over. However, the doctor said there was a chance that he could be fitted with artificial legs (假腿). Finally a leg maker was found and the day came when Hank stood up before the mirror, for the first time he saw himself as he has always wanted to be-a full five feet eight inches tall. By this time he was already 26 years old.Hank had to learn to use his new legs. Again and again he marched the length of the room, and marched back again. There were times when he fell down on the floor, but he pulled himself up and went back to the endless marching. He went out on the street. He climbed stairs and learned to dance. He built a boat and learned to sail it.When World War II came, he talked the Red Cross into giving him a job. He took the regular training. He marched and drilled along with the other soldiers. Few knew that he was legless. This was the true story of Hank Viscardi, a man without legs.29. Children laughed at Hank and called him ‘Ape Man’ because ________.A. he didn’t talk to themB. he kept away from themC. he couldn’t use his armsD. his arms touched the ground while moving30. The sentence “he talked the Red Cross into giving him a job” implies that the Red Cross ________.A. was only glad to give him a jobB. give him a job because he was a good soldierC. was not willing to give him a job at firstD. gave him a job after he talked to someone whom he knew in the organization31. When Hank marched and drilled along with the other soldiers, he ________.A. took some special trainingB. did everything the other soldiers didC. did some of the things the other soldiers didD. did most of the things the other soldiers didD.Most Americans believe that someone isn’t grown-up until the age of 26 and they should complete their education, have a full-time job, have a family to support and be financially independent. They also believe that becoming a real grown-up is a process which begins at about the age of 20 and takes about five years, according to the report from the University of Chicago’s National Opinion Research Center．The findings are based on a representative sample of 1,398 people over the age of 18 who were surveyed in person. The survey found that people expect the transitions to grown-up status to be completed at the following ages: age 20.9 self-supporting; age 21.1 no longer living with parents; age 21.2 having a full-time job; age 22.3 education completed; age 24.5 being able to support a family financially; age 25.7 getting married; and age 26.2 having a child.“There is a large degree of agreement across social groups on the relative importance of the seven transitions,” said Tom Smith, director of the survey．The only obvious pattern of differences is on views about supporting a family, having children and getting married．Older adults consider these more important than younger adults do．This probably shows in large part a change in values across generations away from traditional family values．The most valued step toward reaching adulthood, the survey found, is completing education, followed by full-time employment, supporting a family, financial independence, living independently, and marriage.32. According to the first paragraph, someone is a grown-up when he _______．A. has found a full-time jobB. has finished his study in universityC. can make money and support himself after completing his educationD. can support a family and be financially independent after graduation33. A young man of 24 may be busy ________．A. finding a jobB. finding a girl friendC. making moneyD. preparing for his wedding34. The underlined word “status” in the second paragraph probably means“_____”．A. positionB. rankC. levelD. situation35. The best t itle for the passage should be“________”A. It takes a long time to grown up.B. Are we grown-up yet?C. Getting married means being grown-up.D. Completing education means being grown-up.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。

A tired man’s voice came over the phone, “At what time does your last film begin?”“I’m sorry,” said Mrs. Turner, “but you have the wrong number. This is not the cinema.” “Oh, it began twenty minutes ago?” said the man. “I’m sorry about that . Well, good-bye.” Mr s. Turner was very surprised, so she told her husband.

But what if you're a student and don't have enough money for a trip? Don't worry. Here are some useful suggestions.●Save: This probably is the most important preparation for traveling. Cut expenses to fa tten your wallet so you'll have more choices about where to go and how to get there.●Plan ahead: Don't wait until the last minute to plan your trip. Tickets may cost more when bought on short notice. Giving yourself several months to get ready can mean security(安全) and savings.●Do your homework: No matter where you go, research the places you will visit. Decide what to see. Travel books will provide information on the cheapest hotels and restaurants.●Plan sensibly: Write down what you expect to spend for food and hotels. Stick to your planor you may not have enough money to cover everything.●Travel in groups: Find someone who is interested in visiting the same places. By traveling with others you can share costs and experiences.●Work as you go: Ne ed more money to support your trip? Look for work in the places you visit.●Go off the beaten path: Tourist cities may be expensive. You may want to rethink your trip and go to a lesser-known area. Smaller towns can have many interesting activities and sights.●Pack necessary things: The most important things to take are not always clothes. Remember medicine in case you get sick and snacks in case you cannot find a cheap restaurant.●Use the Internet: The Net can help to save money. Some useful websites include www. Travelocity. com, www. Bargain-slowestfare. com and www. Economy travel. com.By planning sensibly, even students can enjoy the travel. Your travel experiences will be remembered for a lifetime.13.

包头一中2016-2017学年度第二学期月考高二年级英语试题第I卷第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AOne day in the gym, I asked a coach, “What’s the difference betw een the best athletes and everyone else?” He briefly mentioned the things that you might expect:genetics, luck, talent.But then he added something I wasn’t expecting. “At some point,” he said, “it comes down to who can handle the boredom of training every day and doing the same practice over and over again.”Most of the time people talk about getting motivated to work on their goals. As a result, I think many people get depressed when they lose focus or motivation because they think that successful people never lack motivation that they seem to be missing. But that’s exactly the opposite of what this coach was saying.When I was an athlete, I loved going to practice the week after a big win. Who wouldn’t? Your coach is happy, your teammates are excited, and you feel like you can beat anyone. As an entrepreneur（企业家）, I love working when customers are rolling in and things are going well. Getting results has a way of pushing you forward.But what about when you’re bored? What about when the work isn’t easy? Wh at about when it feels like nobody is paying attention or you’re not getting the results you want? It’s the ability to work when work isn’t easy that makes the difference.If you look at the people who are consistently achieving their goals, you start to realize that it’s not the events or the results that make them different. It’s their commitment to the process. They fall in love with the daily practice.So, fall in love with boredom. Fall in love with repetition and practice. Fall in love with the process of what you do and let the results take care of themselves.1. What was the author’s attitude towards the coach’s added answer?A. He doubted it.B. He argued against it.C. He was surprised at it.D. He was uninterested in it.2. The coach supposes successful people _____________________.A. will find ways to work through boredom.B. can keep themselves inspiredC. have a real enthusiasm for their workD. can avoid negative emotions.3. The author mentions his own experience to show ________.A. the way of becoming successful.B. the importance of getting results.C. the difficulty in keeping working when you are bored.D.the willingness to work hard when you feel motivated.4. The text inspires people to _____________.A. value motivation.B. live with repetition.C. set themselves goals.D.develop a good habit.BBookable study roomsThe Library provides a variety of bookable group study rooms, some with presentation areas, for groups of between 6 and 12 students to use for team work.Group study roomsThere are 10 Group Study Rooms on Level 30f Northampton Square Library.·Rooms 3A, 3F, 3G, 3H, 3J and 3K are equipped with presentation area to help prepare group presentations.·Rooms 3B, 3C, 3D and 3E are intended for group discussion and seminar work.

LED screen.8. We may read this article on a .A. websiteB. magazineC. bookletD. story bookCAlmost every day, we hear about a new development in the world of driverless technology. But how will this technology change our lives when cars no longer need humans to drive them?“The most exciting thing about a self-driving car is not really the fact that you don’t need to keep your hands on the steering wheel, For us, it’s going to have a significant influence onmobility in our cities ,”said James Anderson, an expert on driverless transportation. Cars are now only being used about 5 percent of the time. Most of the time they are parked and using up valuable city space. In the future, a self-driving car could give you a ride to work in the morning. But then the same car could be used throughout the day to take other people around the city. This car-sharing model would blur(使模糊)the lines between private and public transportation. We could potentially share cars and rides better, using 20 percent of the cars we have today.Anderson said another major change could be the removal of traffic lights. “At that point, you could think about autonomous crossroads. At such crossroads vehicles don’t need to stop, but they can keep going and simply avoid crashing into each other.”Even though driverless technology will lead to more effective transportation, Anderson said it would also leave questions about who will truly benefit. “There’s a whole crash economy that is dependent on the regular occurrence of automobile crashes.” He said job losses would come in the insurance industry and in hospitals where crash victims are treated. In addition, other driving-related jobs would be hurt. “A lot of those jobs are likely to disappear,” he said.9. What appeals to us most about a self-driving car?A. More chances to get a free rideB. More convenience of parking carsC. Its major effects on mobility in citiesD. Its steering wheel without keeping hands on.10.What is discussed in the last paragraph about driverless technology?A. Job losses in some industriesB. Benefits from insurance companyC. Serious problems brought to hospitalsD. Possible unemployment for taxi drivers11. What is the author’s attitude when he expresses his views?A. ConvincingB. ConfusedC. ConfidentD. CautiousDNikenson’s dad died when he was 3, and his mom often couldn’t afford his school fees, so he got kicked out of school sometimes. But Nikenson would steal back onto the school grounds and stand outside the open classroom windows to listen, day after day. He studied on his own, keeping pace so that when his mom earned a few dollars, he could enter class again.Against all difficulties, Nikenson graduated from high school this year, first in his class, with straight A’s, and was elected class president. Nikenson is a rem inder of the basic saying of life today: gift is universal, but opportunity is not.Fortunately, with the help of some American people, Nikenson is now receiving a university education. He’s benefiting from a program started by Bohan, a young American who was teaching in a Haitian high school. Bohan asked his family and friends to help other Haitians go to college. The program grew and became the Haitian Education and Leadership Program, or HELP, sending hundreds of young men and women to Haitian universities.“Education works,” Bohan said simply. Good education works for everybody, everywhere. It worked for you, for me, and it works for Haitians.” “Over time, I’ve co ncluded that education may be the single best way to help people help themselves, whether in America or abroad. Yet, as a nation, we don’t put enough money in education. So, in this holiday season, I’d suggest a moment to raise a glass and celebrate those who spread the gift of education.”One clever new high school graduate, Elice, was working as a worker in a village and earning just $50 a month. HELP sent him to college to study industrial engineering, and he just graduated and found a job at a European company as an engineer for $1,500 a month “The only difference is his access to education,” said Bohan.12. Why was Nikenson not allowed to enter class sometimes?A. Because his father died at an early ageB. Because he often stole something in the schoolC. Because his family was too poor to afford school feesD. Because he liked standing outside the open classroom windows13. The underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably meansA. chances are also important to gifted peopleB. wise people can succeed in everything they doC. gift is more necessary than opportunityD. in life people with gift don’t need opportunity14. What’s the purpose of Bohan starting HELP?A. To collect money for poor AmericansB. To build more high school in HaitiC. To send poor American students to study abroadD. To help Haitians receive a university education15. According to the passage, Bohan thinksA. everyone should work for good educationB. education can make a big difference in lifeC. more people will spread the gift of education soonD. E lice ought to be one of the HELP’s members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。

How do you live to 100? Here 4 of the country’scentenarians (百岁老人) give their advice on staying youthful.Francisco Nunez, 112He is from Bienvenida, Badajoz, southern Spain. Nunez lives with his d aughter. He says he doesn’t like the pensioners’ (领养老金的人) daycare center because it’s full of old people, whose negative attitude towards life affects him deeply sometimes. Despite his old age. he has always maintained (保持)a youthful outlook, and that is what has kept him going on. Pedro Rodriguez, 106He lives in Cangas de Onis, Asturias, northern Spain. Rodriguez plays the piano every day in the living room of the flat where he lives with his wife who is nearly 20 years younger than him. Their daughters visit them often. His hobby is something that he feels has kept him young. “The nuns (修女) taught me how to play the piano as achild,” he says.Maximino San Miguel, 102He lives in Leon, northern Spain. San Miguel discovered his passion (酷爱) for amateur dramatics at the age of 80 and has participated in many local productions. He didn’t go to school as a child because he was sent to work as a shepherd (牧羊人). He prefers reading books about drawing and travelling. Now this hobby, he said, has kept him full of energy. Pilar Fernandez, 101She lives with her daughter Pili, granddaughters Flori and Ana in Ambas, Asturias, northern Spain. Fernandezsuffered hunger and hardship during the war years alongside her nine brothers and sisters. To avoid history repeating itself, she limited herself to just one child. “From pure fear, I didn’t have anymore,” says Fernandez.One of the best things for her health, she says, is tending livestock (家畜) and a vegetable garden.21.Why does Francisco Nunez dislike living with other old people?A.They may depend on his help.B.He is sensitive to his old age.C.They may affect his attitude to life.D.He has more kids to look after at home.22.What does Maximino San Miguel want to do most in his life now?A.Working as a shepherd.B.Reading books.C.Taking up painting.D.Going travelling.23.What benefits her health according to Pilar Fernandez?A.Doing gardening.B.Learning history.C.Living with kids.D.Having more children.24.What can we infer about the four old people from the text?A.They are fond of exercising regularly.B.They led a hard life when they were young.C.They have the same hobbies in their free time.D.They have their own method of staying youthful.BIt was a cold March day in High Point, North Carolina. The girls on the Wesleyan Academy softball were waiting for their next turns at bat during practice, stamping their feet to stay warm. Eighth-grader Taylor Bisbee shivered (发抖) a little as she watched her teammate Paris White play. The two didn’t know each other well—Taylor had just moved to town a month or so before.Suddenly, Paris fell to the ground, “Paris’s eye rolled back,” Taylor says. “She started shaking. I knew it was an emergency.”It certainly was, Paris had suffered a sudden heart failure. Without immediate medical care, Paris would die. At first, no one moved. The girls were in shock. Then the softball coach shouted out, “Does anyone know CPR?”CPR is a life-saving technique. To do CPR, you press on the sick person’s chest so that blood moves through the body and takes oxygen to organs. Without oxygen, the brain is damaged quickly.Amazingly, Taylor had just taken a CPR course the day before. Still, she hesitated. She didn’t think she knew it well enough. But when no one else came forward, Taylor ran to Paris and began doing CPR, “It was scary.

Some have a higher level of confidence than others do, but even those whose confidence is lacking can learn to build their level of confidence and reach their most important goals. Increasing self-confidence is one of the most common reasons people give for seeking the help of psychologists(心理学家）and other professionals.One of the many places where a greater level of confidence is useful is in the workplace. We all know how difficult it can be, for instance, to ask the boss for a raise. This process can be extremely difficult for those who lack confidence in their own abilities. After all, if you are unsure about your own abilities, how will you ever convince your boss that you deserve more money for the work you do?Even if you are not asking for that big raise, having plenty of confidence in your abilities is important to success. If you are certain of your abilities, chances are that those around you, whether they are your coworkers, your colleagues or your superiors(上级), will see that confidence, and that will help to assure them that you are the best at what you do.Being thought of as the person to go to, and being seen as an expert in your chosen field, is naturally very important to success on the job. If you can make yourself the person people go to for guidance and advice, you will help to protect yourself from the ever present danger of downsizing. After all, if you are a recognized expert at the office, you will be regarded as an indispensable member of the team.Having a high level of confidence, after all, does not mean overlooking the places where you could improve. Knowing what you do well and where you need help will help you enjoy increased success and confidence.28.What is the passage mainly about?A.The influence of confidence on one’s life.B.The importance of confidence to success.C.The difference of people’s confidence.D.The judgment on one’s confidence.29.Psychologists and other professionals can offer help to those _____.A.who think their goals are hard to reachB.who expect to give guidance to othersC.who want to ask the boss for a raiseD.who dream to be recognized experts30.What does the underlined word indispensable in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A.importantB.attractiveC.outgoingD.energetic31.What message does the author want to convey (传达) in the last paragraph?A.To overlook one’s disadvantages.B.To make full us e of one’s advantages.C.To have great confidence in one’s abilities.D.To make objective(客观的) evaluations of one’s abilities.DThe Great Wall of China, one of the greatest wonders of the world, was enlisted in the World Heritage by the UNESCO in 1987. Just like a gigantic dragon, the Great Wall winds up and down across deserts, grasslands and mountains, stretching about 6,700 kilometers from east to west of China. With a history of more than 2,000 years, some parts of the Great Wall are now in ruins or even entirely disappeared. However, it is still one of the most appealing attractions around the world.No one can tell for sure when the building of the Great Wall was started, but it is popularly believed that it originated as a military fortification(要塞) against intrusion(侵入）by tribes on the borders during the earlier Zhou Dynasty. Late in the Spring and Autumn Period, some states extended the defence work to prevent the attacks from other states.It was not until the Qin Dynasty that the separate walls were connected to form a defensive system by Emperor Qin Shi Huang. After the emperor unified the country in 214 BC, he ordered the construction of the wall. It took about ten years to finish and the wall stretched from Gansu Province to Jilin Province. The wall not only served as a defence in the north but also symbolized the power of the emperor.Further construction also experienced several dynasties. The present Great Wall in Beijing is mainly remains from the Ming Dynasty. Today, the Great Wall has become a must-see for every visitor to China.
