One day he decided to get the sweetest mango from the very top of the tree. Mangoes which are exposed to the sun the most are the sweetest. So he climbed up to the top, where the branches were thin. He managed to pick up a few sweet reddish fruits, but, in an attempt to climb down, he slipped and started falling towards the ground. Fortunately, he caught the branch as he was falling and remained helplessly hanging on the tree. Then he started to call nearby villagers for help. They immediately came with a ladder and sticks, but could do little to help him. Then after some time one calm and thoughtful person arrived - a well-known sage who lived in a simple hut nearby. People were very curious to see what he would do, as he was famous in solving many people’s problems in the area and sometimes very complicated ones. He was silent for a minute and then picked up a stone and threw it at the hanging man. Everybody was surprised. The hanging mango lover started to shout, “ What are you doing ! Are you crazy? Do you want me to break my neck.” The sage was silent. Then he took another stone and threw it at the man. The man was very angry, “If I could just come down, I would show you!” That’s what everybody wanted - that he came down. But how Now everybody was tense(紧张), as to what would happen next! Some wanted to punish the sage, but they didn’t. The sage picked another stone and threw it again at the man, even more forcefully. Now the man on the tree was enraged and developed a great determination to come down and take revenge（报仇）. He then used all his skill and strength and somehow reached the branches which were safe to start going down. And he made it! Everybody was amazed. However, the rescued man found the sage gone. He stood there, realizing that the man really helped him because he induced him to try his best and save himself. “I should be thankful and not angry.” 21. What happened after he had picked a few sweet reddish mangoes？ A．He remained hanging helplessly on the tree. B．He slipped and fell to the ground suddenly. C．He was climbing down quickly but carefully. D．He shouted loudly for help but no one helped. 22. What do you think motivated the man to climb down？ A．Courage. B．Assistance. C．Carefulness. D．Revenge. 23. From the story we know that the sweetest mango must be the one A．on the tree for the longest time B．hidden in the middle of a tree C．on the very top of the a tree D．exposed to sunlight less often 24. The best title of this passage will be _____. A．Anger saves one’s life. B．Wisdom does count. C．Skill and strength count. D．Anger is the biggest enemy. B While income worry is a rather common problem of the aged, loneliness is another problem that aged parents may face. Of all the reasons that explain their loneliness, a large geographical distance between parents and their children is the major one. This phenomenon(现象)is commonly known as “Empty Nest Syndrome”(空巢综合症). In order to seek better chances outside their countries, many young people have gone abroad, leaving their parents behind with no clear idea of when they will return home. Their parents spend countless lonely days and nights, taking care of themselves, in the hope that someday their children will come back to stay with them. The fact that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty as they would have if they had not left their countries. Whatever the case, it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match what they actually do. This geographical and cultural distance also prevents the grown-up children from providing response(回应)in time for their aged parents living by themselves. The situation in which grown-up children live far away from their aged parents has been described as “distant parent phenomenon”, which is common both in developed countries and in developing countries. Our society has not yet been well prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome”. 25. According to the passage, the loneliness of aged parents is mainly caused by _________. A. their earlier experience of feeling lonely B. the unfavorable living conditions in their native countries C. the common worry about their income D. the geographical distance between parents and children 26. Many young people have gone abroad, leaving their aged parents behind, to _________. A. live in the countries with more money B. seek a better place for their aged parents C. continue their studies abroad D. realize their dreams in foreign countries 27. If young people go abroad, _________. A. they do not hold to the value of duty at all B. they can give some help to their parents back home C. they cannot do what they should for their parents D. they believe what they actually do is right 28. From the last paragraph, we can infer that ________. A. the situations in the developed and developing countries are different B. “Empty Nest Syndrome” has arrived unexpectedly in our society C. children will become independent as soon as they go abroad D. the aged parents are not fully prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome” C Having a husband means an extra seven hours of housework each week for women, according to a new study. For men, getting married saves an hour of housework a week. “It’s a well-known pattern,” said lead researcher Frank Stafford at University of Michigan’s Institute for Social Research. “Men usually work more outside the home, while women take on more of the housework.”He points out that differences among households(家庭)exist. But in general, marriage means more housework for women and less for men. “And the situation gets worse for women when they have children,” Stafford said. Overall, times are changing in the American home. In 1976, women busied themselves with 26 weekly hours of sweeping-and-dusting work, compared with 17 hours in 2005. Men are taking on more housework, more than doubling their housework hours from six in 1976 to 13 in 2005.Single women in their 20s and 30s did the least housework, about 12 weekly hours, while married women in their 60s and 70s did the most-about 21 hours a week. Men showed a somewhat different pattern, with older men picking up the broom more often than younger men. Single men worked the hardest around the house, more than that of all other age groups of married men. Having children increases housework even further. With more than three children, for example, wives took on more of the extra work, clocking about 28 hours a week compared with husbands’10 hours. 29. According to the “well-known pattern” in Paragraph 1, a married man___________. A. takes on heavier work B. does more housework C. is the main breadwinner D. is the master of the house 30. How many hours of housework did men do every week in the 1970s? A. About 23. B. About 26. C. About 13. D. About 6. 31. What kind of man is doing most housework according to the text? A. An unmarried man. B. An older married man. C. A younger married man. D. A married man with children. 32. What can we conclude from Stafford’s research? A. Marriage gives men more freedom. B. Marriage has effects on job choices. C. Housework sharing changes over time. D. Having children means doubled housework. D Why are people interested in eating raw foods or whole foods One reason is that eating these types of food reduces the risk of acid accumulation in your body. Raw and whole foods are usually digested more efficiently than cooked and refined foods. When we cook foods, we destroy the natural enzymes(酶)that are part of the food in its raw form. These enzymes were intended by nature to help us digest the food. When we consume food without these natural enzymes, our bodies either digest the food improperly or allow too many nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream. In both instances, the result is obesity. When too many nutrients are absorbed at once, the body grows fat. Improperly digested food moves slowly through the digestive tract, where it becomes increasingly acidic (酸性的). To protect its vital organs from this acidic waste, the body changes the acid into fat and stores it safely away from the organs. Processed foods contain chemical elements, which might confuse the appetite mechanism that tells us when we’ve had enough to eat; as a result, people often overeat . Processed foods also upset the digestive cycle. The body will either identify these foods as allergens and then store them safely away from the organs as fat, or the remains of undigested food will become acidic and enter the bloodstream as acid waste, which will stick to the blood vessel walls and block the passage of vital oxygen and nutrients heading for the body’s cells. The body’s metabolism(新陈代 谢) becomes inactive, and then result is weight gain and obesity. The accumulation of acid in the digestive tract makes digestion increasingly inefficient. When that happens, even healthy foods can become acidic and the food allergies will become more common. To stop this vicious( 恶 性 的 ) circle in its tracks, people need to consume food and supplements that will neutralize （使…中和）the acid already accumulated in body. Eating the right types of raw and whole foods can help. It’s also important to restore your enzyme balance. You need to identify and avoid the foods that cause acid accumulation and consume the foods that increase enzyme production. If you truly want to change and help your body heal itself, you need to take an active approach.. 33. What is the main purpose of this passage？ A．To advocate eating more raw and whole foods B．To tell the differences between raw and processed foods C．To inform people of the harm of processed foods D．To warn people of the problem of obesity 34. Processed foods are unhealthy because they A．destroy body’s cells B．are difficult to digest C．may lead to obesity D．stop body’s metabolism 35. What is likely to be talked about following the last paragraph？ A．Active approaches to avoid acid . B．Different causes of acid accumulation. C．Correct ways to cook raw foods . D．Suitable types of raw and whole foods. 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，共 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。 Although problems are a part of our lives, it certainly doesn’t mean that we let them rule our lives forever. One day or the other, you’ll have to stand up and say problem, I don’t want you in my life. 36 Problems with friends, parents, girlfriends, husbands, and children the list goes on. Apart from these, the inner conflicts within ourselves work, too. These keep adding to our problems. Problems come in different shapes and colors and feelings. But good news is that all problems can be dealt with. Now read on to know how to solve your problems. Talk, it really helps. What most of us think is that our problem can be understood only by us and that no talking is going to help. 37 Talking helps you move on and let go. Write your problems. 38 When you write down your problems, you are setting free all the tension from your system. You can try throwing away the paper on which you wrote your problems. By doing this, imagine yourself throwing away the problems from your life. Don’t lose faith and hope. No matter what you lose in life, don’t lose faith and hope. Even if you lose all your money, family… you should still have faith. 39 Your problems aren’t the worst. No matter what problem you get in life, there’re another one million people whose problems are huger than yours. ____40 Your problems might just seem big and worse, but in reality they can be removed.

Some students prefer to consider majors first so that they can learn what they are interested . It will also make it possibly for them to take their favorite jobs in the future. Besides, those who think differently believes that the environment is important to one’s development. They also believe that students graduate from leading universities are often more likely to find good jobs. In my opinion, a best choice is to choose a good major at a good university.
