This passage most probably comes from________.‎ A. a magazine B.an Internet news report C. science report D. a novel B In 1993, eight-year-old Brandon Keefe sat in a corner at the Hollygrove Children’s Home, waiting for his mother to finish talking. He heard that Hollygrove Home needed a library, but all they had was an empty space and lots of kids without books.‎ The next day, when Brandon’s teacher asked the students to come up with ideas for a community service project, Brandon remembered what he had heard. An idea occurred to him at once. What about all the books he had read? He had many that he was too old for, and knew his friends had some, too. What if they gave them to the ‎ Hollygrove Home to create a library? Brandon started a project to collect books, and soon he had 847 books. The big empty room at Hollygrove was filled, and every child had a book to take to bed at night.‎ When Brandon entered 7th grade, he, as well as his friends, began another book project. In one week, the school collected 5,000 books. The Hollygrove library couldn’t handle them all. A local public school, Limerick Elementary, became the next new library created by Brandon and his friends. The headmaster realized that Brandon’s idea was simple and effective. She began sharing it throughout the schools in Los Angeles.‎ Brandon was surprised when, one day, a photographer from the Los Angeles Times called him out of class. They wrote about him in the newspaper, which led to some local community service awards. Then he was invited to appear on the very popular TV program Oprah. Brandon said, “After appearing on Oprah, many people knew about us and we were able to set up a non-profit organization called BookEnds.”‎ By 2001, the 60,000 volunteers had collected around 150,000 books for BookEnds. They had completed 46 libraries, with 32 more under development, helping more than 40,000 children who didn’t have books before.‎ Brandon feels especially good that BookEnds is growing. “There are 60,000 people involved and I’m just one of them. It’s great to know you’ve made a difference and that things are going to change because of what you’ve done.”‎ ‎24. According to the text, the Hollygrove Children’s Home ________.‎ A. had many disabled children B. only had an empty library C. had no books in the beginning[ D. was established by Brandon’s mother ‎25. Brandon came up with the great idea because __________.‎ A. he had so many useless books B. his teacher asked him to do it C. his friends promised to donate their books D. he wanted to help the Hollygrove Home ‎26. Why was Brandon invited to attend the program Oprah?‎ A. He helped create a library in the Hollygrove Home.‎ B. He won some local community service awards.‎ C.

The final purpose of the organization is to make a profit.‎ B. It was established and is operated by the local community.‎ C. More than 40 thousand children have benefited from it.‎ D. It doesn’t need to grow and develop in the future.‎ C ‎ In 1951，a British explorer named Eric Shipton looking for an alternative route up Mt. Everest found a footprint that appeared to be human-like. He took a picture，and the mystery Daniel(神秘)the Yeti—a Sherpa word for “wild man”一cast a spell over the world.Danile Taylor, author of Yeti：The Ecology of a Mystery, has been searching for signs of this "Abominable Snowman" in the high Himalayas since he was a child.‎ ‎ Talking from his home in West Virginia, Taylor explains what he thinks made that humanlike footprint, how his search eventually led to the creation of a national park，and why, in an age where we have become disconnected from nature, we have a deep need to believe in mysteries.‎ ‎ The key evidence for the existence of the Yeti was the photo of a footprint taken by British explorer Eric Shipton in 1951.‎ ‎ The photograph was taken on the Menlung Glacier, west of Mount Everest, on the Nepal- Tibet border. Shipton and Michael Ward were searching for an alternative Everest route when they came across the prints. Shipton was one of the most highly respected Everest explorers, so if he is bringing back a print, it is a real print. Nobody ever questioned that. But what is it?‎ human，a King Kong type We expect them to give us ‎ What was attractive about the prints was that they're really sharp. The snow was hard so the photo looks like a sort of plaster(石膏）.The second feature was that the prints looked like a human footprint, but with a thumb. So, you get this primate-like feeling but human-like at the same time. Its enormous size—13 inches—also suggests a large of image!‎ ‎ Many expeditions(探险队〉were sent out in search of the Yeti, a brief timeline.‎ ‎28.Why did Eric Shipton go to Mt. Everest?‎ A.To explore it. B.To take photos. C.To look for the Yeti . D. To work as a guide.‎ ‎29. What can we know about Daniel Taylor?‎ A. He took a photo of the human-like footprint.‎ B. He is devoted to the exploration of Mt. Everest.‎ C. He has lost confidence in the search for the Yeti.‎ D. He thinks people should have belief in mysteries.‎ ‎30. Which word can be used to describe the Yeti according to the text?‎ A.Sharp. B. Creative. C. Huge. D. Fierce.‎ ‎31. What is the author’s attitude toward the search for the Yeti?‎ A. He thinks nothing. B. He thinks it is a waste of time.‎ C. He is eager to know the result. D.He doubts the effort of explorers.‎ D ‎ Most of us have gone away from “mad men” in the street, only to realize that they are in fact using a Bluetooth headset. Now a new University of Pennsylvania study shows that muttering(嘀咕) can actually help people find lost objects—in other words, saying the name of an object helps you find it more quickly. ‎ Previous work has suggested that speaking aloud while performing step-by-step tasks, like tying shoelaces (鞋带), can help kids guide their behavior and let them focus on the job in hand. However, scientists were not sure if speaking aloud when performing tasks could help adults in the same way, especially when looking for particular objects. Professor Gary Lupan and Daniel Swingley, writing for the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, carried out some experiments. They hoped to give the fact that next time you lose your keys, muttering “keys, keys, keys” can in fact help you find them. ‎ Inspired by viewing people muttering to themselves as they try to find things like peanut butter in a supermarket, the researchers conducted two experiments to see if this actually worked. In the first, participants were shown 20 pictures of various objects and were asked to find a certain one, with some seeing a text label (标签) telling them what they were looking for. These participants were then asked to search for the object again while saying the word to themselves, with results showing that saying it aloud helped people find the object more quickly.‎ The second experiment saw participants performing a shopping task, where they were shown photographs of items (物品) commonly found on supermarket shelves. They were asked to find all examples of a particular item, so if they were asked for apples they had to find all the bags of apples, as quickly as possible. The researchers found that there was also an advantage in saying the name of the product aloud when they were searching for something familiar.‎ The University of Pennsylvania study shows that muttering can actually help people reach the target object—in other words, muttering to oneself helps to focus the mind on something. It works more effectively than seeing a written description. Repeating the word over and over again helps even more. ‎ ‎32. The second paragraph tells us that _________.‎ A. it is easier for kids to do step-by-step tasks by muttering B. muttering has the same effect on both kids and adults C. it is really hard to carry out the experiments on adults D. muttering helps people to control their behavior ‎33. According to the passage, muttering can help people in a way that ______.‎ A. it completely controls people’s mind ‎ B. it directly explains people’s behavior C. they concentrate more on their job at hand ‎ D. they reduce their pressure from their mind ‎34. The two experiments mentioned in the passage show that ______.‎ A. participants saying aloud the word found the object more quickly B. it took the participants the same time to find the objects C. showing pictures of the items helped find them more quickly D. participants were better at doing the shopping task ‎35. What is the best title of the passage?‎ A. How to Find Lost Objects B. Methods of Remembering Objects C. What to Mutter to Yourself D. Effects of Muttering 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分35分）‎ 第一节完形填空（共20小题，每小题1分，满分20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。‎ ‎ I remember the first day when I saw Sally playing basketball.
