My relationship with my dad had been not good for a while—right around the time I started noticing he was drinking too much. Then my parents got divorced. When he was drunk, instead of taking care of me, I had to take care of him. Although there were some bad moments, he was a good father.
Seven years ago, my dad told me he had joined an AA-meeting(戒酒会). Once he asked if I wanted to go along with him to it. It had never occurred to me that he needed someone's support.
I didn't know much about AA. I'd only seen scenes in films, in which people sit together in a circle and tell their stories. Some say it' s overly religious and that there’s no science behind the treatment. But I'd never had any direct experience with it.Curious about it, I accepted his invitation. As it turned out, I was the only family member there. Everyone got the chance to speak; while all stories were unique, they carried some common themes: a thirst for what you know you can’t have, the struggle following a relapse(复发), guilt, shame and sadness. I clearly remember having the lump in my throat after hearing everyone' s most private stories, including my dad's. I felt so many emotions at once.
My dad is about to celebrate 15 years of being sober(清醒的). These days, he al so acts as a volunteer for other members. We’re both so much better off than when he was at his worst. AA isn't for everyone, but in our case, I like to focus or the fact that without my dad getting help that way, he might still have been a stranger to me.
25. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. The author didn't love her dad.
B. The author didn't want to take care of her dad.
C. The author's dad didn't quit drinking until divorce.
D. The author's dad's drinking problem did harm to his family.
26. Why did the author's dad ask her to go to the AA-meeting with him?
A. He needed support from her.
B. He wanted to tell stories to her.
C. He wanted to get better treatment.
D. He felt nervous being with other people
27. What does the author mean by saying "having the lump in my throat"?
A. She was proud of her dad.
B. She was sick of their stories.
C. She was moved by their stories.
D. She was disappointed with her dad.
28. What does the last paragraph imply?
A. It is helpful to share stories with others.
B. It took the author's dad 15 years to quit drinking.
C. The author advises people to seek help from an AA-meeting
D. The AA-meeting helped improve the author's relationship with her dad.
C
I' m sure we've all done something a little dishonest in our lives—maybe copying someone' s work, or being given too much change in a shop and keeping quiet about it. Or maybe I' m wrong—maybe you’re a good, upstanding citizen who believes that honesty is the best policy.
We may agree that admitting our mistakes and behaving in a genuine and decent way is the right way to lead our lives but is there something in our human nature that makes us unscrupulous? For example,in some shops and car parks you can find an honesty box—a box where you pay for something by putting money in it. But it does provide a temptation(诱惑) to get away with not paying the full amount.
Philip Graves,' a psychologist,suggests that this temptation is part of our evolution. He says: we have evolved with the ability to be dishonest. It' s part of our evolutionary psychological make up—because if we can gain an advantage over the people around us, we have a greater chance of surviving.
So why do we place such importance on being honest if we benefit from being dishonest? It's because it is selfish behavior. If everybody acted selfishly and dishonestly all the time, the world would be a very unpleasant place. So, for societies to work together we need to trust each other and therefore we need to be honest.
Being trustworthy with money is of course extremely important for an economy to survive and there are laws to
protect us from dishonest practices. But being honest with words is another matter; saying what we think to someone can be embarrassing. Is honest always the best policy?
29. Which of the underlined words is similar to"dishonest" in meaning?
A. upstanding(P1)
B. decent (P2)
C. unscrupulous(P2)
D. trustworthy(P5)
30. If there is an honesty box in a shop, what should a customer do?
A. Take some money out if in need.
B. Donate some money to the charities.
C. Get away without paying the right amount.
D. Put in the amount of money one should pay for his buying.
31. What can we learn according to Philip Graves?
A. Men are born to be dishonest.
B. One will be criticized if he is dishonest.
C. Dishonesty is of some benefit to survival.
D. Breaking the balance is kind of dishonesty.
32. The author may NOT agree that .
A. Honesty is based on working together.
B. Not all social members accept dishonesty.
C. Dishonest economic behaviors will be punished.
D. Being dishonest with words sometimes is acceptable.
D
Take a quick tipple (酒) and you could find yourself speaking a second language more naturally, according to new research.
The foreign language skills of participants in the study were found to be improved after a drink of alcohol, which suggests the way alcohol can put us at ease outweighs the negative effects on our brain—at least for the first drink,
anyway. It could reveal some interesting facts about the anxiety associated with speaking another language,and how alcohol can help us overcome it.
The study involved 50 native German speakers studying Dutch at a Dutch university, who had recently learned to speak, read, and write in the new language. Participants were either given alcohol or water. The amount of alcohol varied based on body size, but was the equal to 5 percent beer for a 70kg male. They then chatted to a researcher for five minutes, assessed by two native Dutch speakers who weren't told whether they consumed alcohol. Those people who had been given the alcoholic drink were given better ratings by the observers, especially for their pronunciation.
So what' s going on? We know that alcohol has 'a negative effect on our brain' s executive functioning, including our memory and our attention. However, we also know that alcohol improves confidence and reduces social anxiety. "One possible reason could be that," says one of the researchers."But more research is needed to test this."
"It is important to point out that participants in this study consumed a small amount of alcohol," adds one of the team." Higher levels of alcohol consumption might not have beneficial effects on the pronunciation of a foreign language."
33. What’s the passage mainly about?
A. A right amount of alcohol can easily remove one’s anxiety.
B. Alcohol does harm to one’s skills in learning a second language.
C. Speaking a foreign language gets easier after having a quick drink.
D. Whether alcohol can help learn a foreign language remains to be seen.
34.
Which of the following caused alcohol drinkers to get better ratings in the experi ment?
A. The brain's executive function.
B. The anxiety-reducing effect of alcohol.
C. The skills of speaking a foreign language.
D. Alcohol's role in improving one's memory.
35. This text is most probably taken from .
A. a science magazine
B. a personal diary
C. an advertisement
D. an information leaflet

One Possibl e version:
Nowadays, bicycl e-sharing system has become very popular. A large number of shared bikes can be found and rented at a l ow price in public places.Moreover, you can park the bike almost anywhere you like. In this way, shared hikes make it convenient for peopl e to travel, which in turn ease the traffic pressure.
However, bicycl e-sharing system also brings some problems. For instance, some peopl e d eliberately d estroy the QR cod e, and even throw the bike into the river.
In my opinion, some measures shoul d be taken to solve these problem. Firstly, the government should make more strict laws to regulate the management of bicycl e-sharing system. Secondly, the public shoul d raise their awareness of using shared bikes reasonably. In the end I call on everyone to protect public services to make our life more beautiful.。
