After the exhausting and exciting trip, the characters in the book begin to realize the meaning of life.‎ ‎2.

The book ‎ describes a young artist’s romantic but miserable life, about how he reads, dreams and has a relationship during his trip to Central Europe.

He expected his friend to live longer.‎ ‎ B A successful businessman, addressing the commercial club of his city, told a story of an orphan (孤儿) named Jim.‎ Jim was 12 years old, who was the laughing stock of the whole town. He never remembered having a kind word spoken to him in his whole life. One day as Jim walked down the street, he saw some flowers slip from a little lady’s arms just in front of him. Jim gathered up the flowers and replaced them in her arms. “Thank you, dear; you are a nice little boy.” she said kindly, and went on her way after giving him a bright smile.‎ Jim was amazed. These were the first kind words he had ever heard in his whole twelve years of ‎ existence. He stood and stared after her until she was out of sight, then he made straight for a stream. He sat down on the bank of the stream and did some thinking. “Thank you, dear; you are a nice little boy,” he thought. Finally the boy pulled from his pockets a piece of broken mirror and looked at himself. He saw nothing but dirt. He went down to the water and washed his face carefully, almost painfully. Then he looked again. He scarcely recognized himself. He stood straight and looked up instead of down for the first time since he could remember.‎ A feeding of self-respect awoke within his being. At that moment the course of his life was changed; a determination to be worthy of the kind words spoken to him by the little lady, and to pass them on, took possession of his soul. After telling this story of Jim, the speaker paused and then he shocked the audience by saying, “Gentlemen, I was that boy. That gentle woman implanted in my life the first seed of kindness. As a tribute to her memory I have told you this story.”‎ ‎24．What does the author mean by “the laughing stock” in paragraph 2?‎ A. Jim liked playing jokes on others.‎ B. Jim was always laughed at by others.‎ C. Jim was good at making others happy.‎ D. Jim had interest in telling funny stories.‎ ‎25．Which of the following words can be used to describe the lady?‎ A. Brave B. Clever C. Friendly D. Honest ‎26．What can we infer from the last paragraph?‎ A. Jim wanted people to say kind words to others.‎ B. The lady became very famous because of that story.‎ C. It was the first time for Jim to tell his story to others.‎ D. Jim made a tot of money by telling his stories to others.‎ ‎27．What is the best title for the text?‎ A. A Story of Jim B. A Good Lady C. A Kind Word D. A Successful Businessman C ‎ ‎ A billionaire has recently made one of the biggest charitable(慈善的) donations to a university in China’s history. Chen Tianqiao donated $115 million to the California Institute of Technology ‎ (Caltech) to help advanced brain research. The donation will be spent deepening the understanding of how the brain works. Chen has been interested in brain research, believing it can shape the industries such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality. However, this huge donation has caused heated discussions among Chinese scholars and internet users alike.‎ Many criticized（批评） him for choosing to give money to a foreign university rather than home institutes for brain research, which are developing fast and are on track to catch up with the US in just a few years. Rao Yi, a biologist at Peking University, even said the donation was a typical mistake.‎ Others, however, support his choice. They believe Caltech is a more reasonable choice compared to Chinese research institutions. Caltech has a long history and has taken a leading position in biology, and therefore it produces more efficient(有效的) results. In addition, the results of the research benefit not only the American people, but also the rest of the world.‎ A similar controversial（有争议的） case started two years ago when Pan Shiyi, chairman of SOHO China, donated $15 million to Harvard University to help disadvantaged Chinese students.‎ Many believe that China is still behind in the management and use of donated money, and that as a result, Chinese charity donators are looking abroad. In comparison, Western countries like the US, which have a long history of donating money, have well-developed systems that use money efficiently. They can also provide full access for donors who want to track the use of the money. To get more donations, Chinese universities should be braver and more honest. They need self-reflection, rather than envy.[‎ ‎28. Why did Chen’s donation draw criticism（批评）? A. It was not used efficiently. ‎ B. It was one of the largest to Caltech. C. It should have been given away to a Chinese college. D. It was used in brain research rather than for unfortunate people.‎ ‎29. Some people are in favor of Chen’s choice because ________. A. the Chinese are just too envious B. the achievements benefit the whole world C. Caltech is a university with a longer history ‎ D. the fund can help disadvantaged Chinese students ‎30. Pan Shiyi is mentioned to________. A. suggest the Chinese are enthusiastic about universities B. show off generosity of the billionaires in China C. inform some Chinese students are poor at academy D. prove the widespread disagreement over donating abroad ‎31. To get more fund, the author thinks the Chinese universities should_____ .‎ A. explore artificial intelligence ‎ B. grow fast and catch up with the US C. develop efficient systems to use the donations ‎ D. educate braver and more honest graduates D Sleep repairs the body and the mind and helps prevent disease by strengthening the immune system. However, many adults do not get eight hours of sleep each night. The average adult today gets only 6.4 hours of sleep. Only in recent years have health professionals begun to realize the seriousness of sleep deprivation in the working population. A significant number of people work at night, work long hours, or suffer from sleeplessness or jet lag.‎ Studies show that the brain is negatively affected by sleep deprivation because certain patterns of electrical and chemical activity that occur during sleep are interrupted and the brain cannot function normally. In one study, thirteen healthy adult subjects(实验对象) who usually had normal sleep patterns were kept awake and carefully monitored in a lab during a period of 35 hours. During the experiment, the subjects were asked to perform several tasks, such as mathematics and word problems, while undergoing scans of their brain activity. The researchers found that the temporal lobe (颞叶) of the brain, the region involved in language processing, was active during speech tasks in rested subjects but not in subjects who lacked enough sleep. After several hours without sleep, there was no activity within this region.‎ Several studies show that getting fewer than six hours of sleep can damage short-term memory and reaction time—thus causing a serious risk of accident. In one study of drivers, researchers reported that sleep deprivation had the same effects as being drunk. They found that people who drove after being awake for 17 hours performed worse than those with a blood alcohol level of 0.5 percent,‎ ‎ the legal limit for drunk driving in most western European countries. The researchers concluded that countries with drunk driving laws should consider similar restrictions against sleep-deprived driving.‎ ‎32．The underlined word "deprivation" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to_______.‎ A. weakness B. loss C. discomfort D. pain ‎33．The passage mentions all of the following as causes of sleep deprivation EXCEPT______.‎ A. jet lag B. long work hours C. boring work D. working at night ‎34．The purpose of the study described in Paragraph 2 was to determine_________.‎ A. how many hours people can survive without sleep B. how people react when their sleep is interrupted C. the changes in brain activity that occurs during sleep D. the effects of sleep deprivation on brain activity ‎35．Why does the author mention blood alcohol level in Paragraph 3?‎ A. To show how sleep deprivation reduces the blood alcohol level.‎ B. To show that sleep deprivation has the same dangerous effects as being drunk.‎ C. To suggest that sleep-deprived drivers are also likely to drink.‎ D. To argue against raising the legal limit for drunk driving.‎ 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。选项中的两项为多途选项。‎ Living with other people can be difficult, especially when each person has their own ideas about how they want to live. ___36__ .Taking a few simple steps will help you share your living space harmoniously.‎ Discuss your expectations ahead of time.‎ ‎____37___.This applies to finances, food, possessions, use of common areas, loud activities or parties, quiet hours and so on.‎ Divide up responsibilities.‎ Make a plan to divide up responsibilities and chores(家常杂务) between you and your roommate. For example, if your roommate is a good cook and you are not, ___38___ .It may also be a good idea to set up a chores schedule, where you will take turns cleaning the bathroom, taking out the trash and so on.‎ ‎_____39____.‎ Not everyone has the same ideas about day to day living as you do. Take your roommate's feelings into consideration. For instance, if you re dying to throw a party on Thursday night but your roommate has a final early the next morning, agree to postpone the party till Friday evening, instead.‎ Communicate effectively.‎ Communication is key in making the relationship work. If a problem comes up, it's better to talk about it right away than to ignore it. For example, say "Chris, it upsets me when I wake up to find all the milk gone. If you use the last of something, can you please add it to the list?" If you simply cannot communicate openly and there is tension all the time, ____40____.‎ A. Be prepared to compromise B. Create a roommate agreement on Internet use C. ask him or her to cook if you'll clean up afterward D. you may as well find a new roommate E. Talk about what each of you needs and wants from the other in advance F. People may have different religious or political views that could cause conflict G.
