He dived into the cool water, not realizing that as he swam towards the middle of the lake, a crocodile was swimming toward him.‎ His mother in the house was looking out of the window and saw the two as they got closer and closer. In great fear, she ran toward the water, shouting to her son as loudly as she could. Hearing her voice, the little boy became alarmed and made a U-turn to swim to his mother. It was too late. Just as he reached her, the crocodile reached him. From the shore, the mother grabbed her little boy by the arms just as the crocodile snatched his legs. That began an incredible tug-of-war (拔河) between the two. The crocodile was much stronger than the mother, but the mother was much too passionate to let go. A farmer happened to drive by, heard their screams, raced from his truck, took aim and shot the crocodile. ‎ Remarkably, after weeks and weeks in the hospital, the little boy survived. His legs were extremely scarred by the attack of the animal. And, on his arms, were deep scratches where his mother's fingernails dug into his flesh in her effort to hang on to the son she loved. ‎ The newspaper reporter, who interviewed the boy, asked if he would show him his scars(伤疤). The boy lifted his legs. And then, with obvious pride, he said to the reporter, “But look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my Mom wouldn’t let go.” ‎ Never judge another person's scars, because you don't know how they were made.‎ ‎24. Which of the following is most related to the underlined word “passionate”?‎ ‎ A. Anxious. B. Determined. C. Frightened. D. Courageous. ‎ ‎25.Who killed the crocodile in the end?‎ A. A farmer. B.

In the story the writer intends to tell us that __________.‎ A. scars always remind people of their past experiences ‎ B. it’s dangerous to swim alone in the water C. the boy also feels painful in his mind ‎ D. scars do not necessarily mean pain at all times ‎ ‎27. Which of the following will be the best title for the text?‎ A. A Terrible Experience ‎ B. Women Hold up Half the Sky C. Scars of Love ‎ D. Don't Judge by Appearances C ‎  Last night, on my way home I stopped because of being attracted by some hamburgers at a fast food restaurant. On my way in, a homeless man approached me and asked, “Do you have any bottles lying around?” I knew he would recycle them for a few cents, but I didn’t have any, so I said no. And again he asked, “Can you spare some change (零钱)?” I smiled, and said no again. He was very respectful; he smiled back and said, “OK, thank you.” Even though he didn’t have anything, he was still in good spirits. From the way he spoke I could tell he was smart.‎ ‎ Then I bought one hamburger and enjoyed my meal, but in the back of my mind I wondered whether the homeless man was hungry. After I finished my meal I decided to order another one for him. At this point I didn’t know if he was still around, but I tried anyway. ‎ ‎ At the counter I ordered a hamburger and also a hot chocolate, because it was cold outside, and I thought it would help warm him up. They delivered me the hot chocolate first and as I waited for my hamburger, I noticed the homeless man was standing right beside me. I looked at him and smiled, “This hot chocolate is for you.”He replied like a gentleman,“Thank you so much. That’s very kind of you.” ‎ ‎ I always believe no matter how hard up (缺钱) I am, there are always those who are worse off than I. When you help someone, it’s not always about money, it’s about love. The love you give today, someone might forget tomorrow. It doesn’t matter. Love anyway, because the greatest thing you can give is love. ‎ ‎28. Why did the author stop at a fast food restaurant?‎ A. Because he was hungry and thirsty.‎ B. Because he wanted to help the homeless man there.‎ C. Because he hoped he could collect some bottles there.‎ D. Because the hamburgers there interested him.‎ ‎29. We can learn from the first two paragraphs that the author _____.‎ A. was angry with the homeless man B. decided to help the homeless man after his meal C.was an old friend of the homeless man ‎ D. finished his meal quickly to help the homeless man ‎30. We can infer from the text that the homeless man was _____.‎ A. old and sick B. sad and nervous ‎ C. polite and friendly D. calm and confident ‎31. The author wants to tell us that _____.‎ A. there is always someone that we can help ‎ B. money cannot buy everything C. we shouldn’t forget those who once helped us D. love cannot be forced D ‎ Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. ‎ Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes? It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must negatively affect people. A person's conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people's reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.‎ ‎ Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing "the right thing." Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one, "You're just saying that to make me feel good. I know it's not true." It is clear that while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful. ‎ Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths. Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Let's not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life. ‎ ‎32. The first paragraph is mainly about _______.‎ A. the cause of shyness B. the feeling of shy people C. the effect of shyness on people D. the question in the minds of shy people ‎33. According to the writer, self-awareness is __________.   ‎ A. harmful to people  B. a healthy quality C. the cause of unhappiness D. a weak point of shy people ‎34. What is the shy people’s reaction to praise?‎ A. They are pleased by it. B. They feel they are worthy of it.‎ C. They are very sensitive to it. D. They feel it is not true.‎ ‎35. What we can learn from the passage is that shyness can _______.‎ A. be overcome with determination ‎ B. help us to live up to our full development C. enable us to understand ourselves better ‎ D. have nothing to do with lack of self- respect‎ 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ If you are already making the time to exercise, it is good indeed! With such busy lives, it can be hard to try and find the time to work out. 36 Working out in the morning provides additional benefits beyond being physically fit.‎ ‎● Your productivity is improved. Exercising makes you more awake and ready to handle whatever is ahead of you for the day. 37 ‎ ‎● Your metabolism (新陈代谢) gets a head start. 38 If you work out in the mornings, then you will be getting the calorie (卡路里) burning benefits for the whole day, not in your sleep.‎ ‎● 39 Studies found that people who woke up early for exercise slept better than those who exercised in the evening. Exercise energizes you, so it is more difficult to relax and have a peaceful sleep when you are very excited.‎ ‎● 40 If you work out bright and early in the morning, you will be more likely to stick to healthy food choices throughout the day. Who would want to ruin their good workout by eating junk food? You will want to continue to focus on positive choices.‎ There are a lot of benefits to working out, especially in the mornings.
