There is, however, a trap. As you open the door to any floor, you may choose a man from that floor, but if you go up a floor, you cannot go back down except to exit the building.‎ So a woman goes to the shopping center to find a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads: Floor 1— These men have jobs. The woman reads the sign and says to herself, “Well, that’s better than my last boyfriend, but I wonder what’s further up?”‎ So up she goes. The second floor sign reads: Floor 2 — These men have jobs and love kids. The woman remarks to herself, “That’s great, but I wonder what’s further up?”‎ And up she goes again. The third floor sign reads: Floor 3 — These men have jobs, love kids and are extremely good-looking. “Hmm, better.”‎ The fourth floor sign reads: Floor 4 — These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good-looking and help with the housework. “Wow!” exclaims the woman, “Very tempting. But there must be more, further up!”‎ And again she heads up another flight. The fifth floor sign reads: Floor 5 —These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good-looking, help with the housework and have a strong romantic character. “ Oh, mercy me! But just think…what must be awaiting me further on?”‎ So up to the sixth floor she goes. The sixth floor sign reads: Floor 6 –You are visitor 3, 456, 789,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. Thank you for shopping Husband Mart and have a nice day.‎ ‎21.

Dad worked hard to support our family and Mom tried to save money while making sure we had enough food to eat and clothes to wear. One of their greatest desires was to raise decent, loving children who had an opportunity to finish college.‎ My brother, Gene, never hesitated to learn new things. He had an artistic hand, so he went into fine arts for a while. He also did a lot of screens about computers. He became so good at it that the school hired him to teach there after he completed his studies. My younger brother also pursued computers, following in his footsteps.‎ Gene did not have a history of any health problems from his very young age to adulthood. One day, he came home from teaching, ate his dinner and went to bed. That evening，my “healthy” brother died suddenly of a cardiac arrest. My parents were extremely sad.‎ At the viewing in the funeral house, amidst the sadness, my parents felt so much pride. So many people came and each was relating a story of how they were touched by Gene.‎ A cleaner came to say that practically every day Gene brought him a sandwich. Finally, Mom found out why Gene had taken so many sandwiches to school! Then there was a man who came in bringing money, saying that Gene had lent him some when he was down and out. Gene had never asked him for the money back.‎ From the school president to the guard, people came. And because of his good heart and deeds, my younger brother was awarded a full scholarship in the school as a tribute to my dead brother.‎ In the end, my parents realized that even at the young age of 26, my brother had lived a full life and was very instrumental in helping others live theirs a little better.‎ ‎24. What was the biggest wish of the author’s parents?‎ A. To have a better life.‎ B. To save enough money for the future.‎ C. To give their children a college education.‎ D. To raise their children to be respectable people.‎ ‎25. The author’s parents felt proud in the funeral house because______.‎ A. many people from all walks of life came B. Gene was praised by the school president C. Gene’s brother was awarded a full scholarship D. they heard about many good deeds done by Gene ‎26. What can we learn about Gene from the passage?‎ A. He took many sandwiches to school to share with others.‎ B. He lent a man some money and then asked for it back.‎ C. He was not in very good health from an early age.‎ D. He taught fine arts in his school.‎ ‎27. What is the message that the passage intends to express?‎ A. Good deeds deserve praise.‎ B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.‎ C. Kindness in students should be encouraged.‎ D. The meaning of life consists in its dedication, not its length.‎ C A simple gesture can be formed into a child’s memory so quickly that it will cause the child to give a false answer to a question accompanied by that gesture. A new finding suggests that parents, social workers, psychologists and lawyers should be careful with their hands as well as their words.‎ While memories of both adults and children are easy to react to suggestions, those of children are known to be particularly influenced, said lead researcher Sara Broaders of Northwestern University. Kids are used to looking to adults to tell events for them and can be misled even if not intentionally.‎ Previous research, for example, has shown that detail-loaded questions often cause false answers. When asked, say “Did you drink juice at the picnic?” the child is ‎ likely to say “yes” even if no juice had been available. It is not that the child is consciously lying, but rather the detail is quickly formed into his or her memory.‎ To avoid this problem, social workers have long been advised to ask children only open-ended questions, such as “What did you have at the picnic?” But an open-ended question paired with a gesture, briefly meaning a juice box, is treated like a detailed question. That is, children become likely to answer falsely.‎ And it isn’t just a few kids: 77% of children gave at least one piece of false information when a detail was suggested by an ordinary gesture. Gestures may also become more popular when talking with non-fluent language users, such as little kids, Broaders said as hand movements can impart meaning of unfamiliar words and phrases, it certainly seems reasonable that adults would gesture more with children.‎ In general, Broaders advises parents and other adults to “try to be aware of your hands when questioning a child about an event. Otherwise, you might be getting answers that don’t reflect what actually happened.”‎ ‎28. According to the text, gestures __________.‎ A. have not any function at all B. are rarely used by people C. have certain effect on children D. are often used by social workers ‎29. Why are kids easy to be misled by gestures according to Sara Broaders?‎ A. These gestures are very attractive.‎ B. Their memories are affected easily.‎ C. Children are easy to tell lies.‎ D. these gestures are used frequently.‎ ‎30. According to the text, which of the following questions may cause a wrong reply?‎ A. What will you have for lunch?‎ B. Did you cheat in the last English examination?‎ C. Where are you going Lucy?‎ D. Did you see anything else last night?‎ ‎31. The underlined word “impart” in Paragraph 5 means ________. ‎ A. separate B. tell apart C. confuse D. pass on D Actors Keira Knightley and Kristen Bell have both commented on their worries about using Disney princesses as role models for their children.‎ On a famous talk show, Knightley said her daughter (who was born in 2015) was “banned” from watching Cinderella, which Disney produced as a cartoon in 1950 and a live-action film in 2015. “Cinderella waits around for a rich guy to rescue her. Don’t. Rescue yourself! Obviously.” ‎ Knightley added that she had also forbidden The Little Mermaid, the 1989 cartoon. “This is the one that I’m quite annoyed about because I really like the film. I mean, the songs are great, but do not give up your voice for a man. Well, that’s a little difficult to handle, but I’m keeping to it.”‎ Bell‎, the star of Frozen, expressed her disapproval of the Snow White fairytale, which became a classic Disney cartoon in 1938. In an interview with parents, Bell said: “I look at my girls and ask, ‘Don’t you think it’s very unusual that Snow White didn’t ask the old witch why she needed to eat the apple? Or where she got that apple?’ I say, ‘I would never take food from a stranger, would you?’ And my kids respond, ‘No!’ And I think I’m doing something right.”‎ Bell‎, who played a Disney princess in Frozen, said she also used the story to illustrate issues about permission. She says that she asked her children: “Don’t you think that it’s very strange that the prince kisses Snow White without her permission? … Because you cannot kiss someone if they’re sleeping!”‎ Bell‎ later responded to criticism on social media. To one user she wrote: “Everything is a message to our children, because they are sponges(海绵) that soak up everything and are learning how to be adults through what they see. I want my girls to see and practice critical thinking and respectful behavior.” ‎ ‎32. Why did Knightley stop her daughter from watching The Little Mermaid?‎ A. Because Knightley disliked it.‎ B. Because the little mermaid was tricky.‎ C. Because the film showed wrong values.‎ D. Because the songs in the film were annoying.‎ ‎33. What can we infer about Bell from Paragragh 4? ‎ A. Bell thought Snow White behaved well.‎ B. Bell didn’t know how to persuade her kids.‎ C. Bell wanted her kids to learn from Snow White. ‎ D. Bell believed her kids should be critical about the film.‎ ‎34. What qualities do Knightley and Bell expect their children to have?‎ A. curious and hard-working. B. smart and generous.‎ C. independent and good-mannered. D. critical and proud.‎ ‎35. What can be a suitable title for the text?‎ A. Say No to Disney Princesses. B. Rescue Yourselves.‎ C. Doing Something Right . D. Practice Critical Thinking.‎ 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。‎ People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.

During my two-hour lesson, she’d rush to the nearby store and buy a week’s worth of 43 . Given the fact that my mom had driven me twelve miles there, twelve miles back, 44 for my lesson, and bought me a candy bar, you’d think I’d be very 45 to help her bring the groceries into the house. 46 I wasn’t.

Returning home from the 55 , I disappeared into my room, as usual. But once inside, I felt that deep and burning 56 .
