There will also be key except for a vast range of Germany-made film.‎ Dietrich became a world star after her wonderful performance in a movie. After that, she turned her back on Germany, horrified by the sudden movement of Nazi in her hometown.‎ A few years after the war, the star was persuaded to pay a short visit to Berlin. But the trip proved a disaster. At a city hall gathering in West Berlin, crowds turned out to see her, but not all friendly.‎ She was attacked at times. She found herself being blamed for wearing an American uniform during the war to please U.S. troops in Europe. She was also scolded for “turning her back on the country”.‎ Dietrich, deeply hurt, decided she would never return to Berlin again. But she softened her judgment.‎ When she died in Paris in 1972, it was at her express wish that her body should be sent back to Berlin for burial alongside her mother in a local cemetery.‎ ‎21. From the second paragraph, we can get to know that_______.‎ A. Germans were narrowed-minded B. Germans were difficult to get along with C. all Germans admired Dietrich D. some Germans disliked Dietrich ‎22. The underlined sentence “she turned her back on Germany” (in paragraph 5) means_______.‎ A. Dietrich looked down upon her country B. Dietrich turned away from her country C. Dietrich gave up performance in her country D. Dietrich lost her job in her country ‎23. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?‎ A. Visitors can see various collections by Marlene in Berlin’s new film museum.‎ B. Dietrich was a famous film star in Hollywood.‎ C. After the war, Dietrich paid a short visit to her country.‎ D. Wearing an Australian uniform during the war, Dietrich was regarded a betrayer(背叛者) to her country.‎ ‎24. The famous film star, as a whole, ________.‎ A. hated her country because she was once scolded for betraying Germany. ‎ B. enjoyed her life in France C. loved her country from her heart ‎ D. felt satisfied with her performance B A Mother’s Love I’m a New York City firefighter. Every day, I see terror – sometimes even death. But the day I found Scarlett was different. That day I saw life. And love.‎ We were responding to a call about a burning garage. Outside, I heard the sound of cats crying. I couldn’t stop – I would have to look for the cats after the fire was put out.‎ It took a long time to finally bring the big fire under control, but we did it. No one inside was hurt.‎ At that point I was free to investigate the cat noises. There was still a lot of smoke and heat coming from the building. I followed the meowing(猫叫) to a spot on the sidewalk near the front of the garage. There, crying and huddled(挤作一团) together, were five terrified kittens. They must have been inside the building, as their fur was badly singed(烫烧)。‎ I left the five kittens in a box on a neighbor’s porch(门廊).‎ I wanted to find the mother. It was obvious that she had gone into the burning garage and carried out all of her babies, one by one – unbelievable.‎ We finally found her. She was badly burnt: her eyes were blistered (起水泡), her paws(爪子) were blackened, and her fur was singed all over. You could even see her reddened skin beneath the burned fur. She could barely move. I picked her up, and she relaxed in my arms as much as her pain would allow. Sensing her trust, I shed a tear. I was determined to save this brave little cat and her family.‎ The veterinarian(兽医) told me they would observe the kittens and their mother ‎ overnight, but they weren’t optimistic about the mother’s changes.‎ About a week later, I found out she was going to live. One of the technicians suggested we name her Scarlett, because of her reddened skin.‎ Knowing what Scarlett endured(忍受) for her kittens, it melted my heart to see her reunited with them. She touched each of them again, nose to nose, to make sure they were all safe. She had risked her life five separate times – and it had paid off. All of her babies had survived. ‎ As a firefighter, I see heroism(英雄事迹) every day. But what Scarlett showed me that day was the kind of bravery that can only come from a mother’s love.‎ ‎25. Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?‎ A. The author went to rescue the cats as soon as he heard them crying.‎ B. The firefighters put out the big fire quickly and no one was hurt.‎ C. The mother cat moved all of her five babies to a safer place despite the fire.‎ D. The author didn’t find the cats until the smoke and heat were gone.‎ ‎26. Why was the author determined to save the cats?‎ A. He refused to watch someone else die in his work.‎ B. He was impressed by the mother’s strong love and courage.‎ C. The cat’s story had made many people concerned.‎ D. It had taken much time and effort for him to save them.‎ ‎27. Which best describes the author’s tone in the article?‎ A. Objective B. Admiring. C. Excited. D. Optimistic.‎ C Fighting racial stereotypes（模式化）on US campuses often begins by putting students of different ethnic backgrounds together – under one dormitory roof. Sam Boakye was a freshman at Ohio State University and the only black student on his floor. He was determined to get good grades – in part to make sure his white roommate had no basis for negative racial views. "You're pushed to do better, to challenge the stereotype that black people are not that smart," he told the New York Times.‎ Several recent studies have found that having a roommate of a different race can reduce prejudice(偏见)，diversify(使多样化)friendships and even boost students’ academic performance. In a study by Ohio State psychology professor Russell Fazio，black freshmen who came to college with high test scores earned better grades if they had a white roommate—even if the roommate’s test scores were low. Another ‎ study on student interaction by Duke University suggests that freshmen with roommates of a different race were the most likely to diversify their friendships. “Just having diversity in classrooms doesn’t do anything to increase interracial friendships，”said Claudia Buchman, an author of the Duke study. “But living together with a different-race roommate, does lead to more interracial friendships.” ‎ There are, however, some problems with such room assignments. Fazio’s study found that three times as many randomly(随机地) assigned interracial roommates weren’t living together at the end of the semester, compared with white roommates. Interracial roommates also spent less time together, had fewer joint activities and were less involved with each other’s friends than white pairs.‎ As for Boakye, this is not the case. “A lot of white students come without much exposure（暴露）to diversity，so when their first interaction with a black guy isn’t bad, they will make more black friends. I think I made a good impression on my freshman roommate. I saw him this year, and he said，‘Hey dude, you’re not the only black friend I have.’ That felt good.” the Times reported.‎ ‎28. Having a roommate of a different race can have the following benefits EXCEPT________ .‎ A. making more friends B. reducing prejudice C. earning better grades D. improving physical health ‎29. Sam Boakye was determined to get good grades partly because________.‎ A. he wanted to prove he was a smart boy B. he intended to please his parents C. he wished to earn the scholarship D. he wanted to show black people are as smart as white people ‎30．We can conclude that Boakye________.‎ A. got along well with his white roommate ‎ B. shared fewer joint activities with his white roommate C. had a negative attitude towards his white roommate D. is still living together with his freshman white roommate ‎ ‎31．The 4th paragraph is mainly about________.‎ A. the interracial friendship ‎ B. some problems with having an interracial roommate C. some comments on the interracial roommates D. the interaction between the black student and the white student D ‎ Scientists found that sleeping considerably improves our creativity. After taking a nap people are able to think faster and put more imagination into their thinking. Besides, if we dream, the thinking abilities are improved even more.‎ Researchers consider that sleeping on a problem in most cases leads to elucidation(解释)．They say when a person enters a phase called Rapid Eye Movement (REM) during sleep, it increases the effect. Such phase takes place right before we awake and according to scientists it helps our brain make links between unrelated subjects.‎ In the study, led by Professor Sara Mednick, scientists made a conclusion that the REM was “important for assimilating(消化)new information into past experience” in order to find solutions to creative problems.‎ Prof. Mednick is a psychiatrist at the University of California. Her study involved the analysis of 77 adults. Each participant was given several word-associated creative tasks. All tasks were given in the morning，with participants being shown a number of groups of 3 words, for example：cookie，heart and sixteen. They were asked to come up with a word that would be associated with all three given terms—like sweet. Sometime later, after some participants were allowed to sleep, they were asked to perform the same tasks and some new ones. It is worth mentioning that while some people slept, researchers used brain scans to see the type of sleep each participant entered.‎ When given the same tasks, participants, who took a nap, were able to give more varied solutions, some of which were much better than they gave earlier. But when given new tasks, researchers found that those who entered REM sleep had a 40 percent better result compared to the performance they showed in the morning, reported The Daily Telegraph.‎ ‎32．What does “it” refer to in the second paragraph?‎ A. The effect. B. REM. C．Sleep. D. A problem.‎ ‎33．Why do the researchers study the REM?‎ A. Because REM takes place just after you sleep. B. Because REM can store more information.‎ C. Because REM can help find creative solutions. D. Because REM can make a creative invention.‎ ‎34. What can we know from this passage?‎ A. Taking a short nap is good for your thinking during the day.‎ B. Sleeping has three processes which is good for creativity.‎ C. Each adult was allowed to sleep after the task was given.‎ D. REM is a process taking place right after we awake when we nap.‎ ‎35. The important stage in the study is________.‎ A. to think of a creative word． B. to show a group of 3 words C. to give participants time to think D. to let some participants sleep for a while 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。‎ To be successful people ‎ Here are some opinions about successful and unsuccessful people.‎ ‎ Make life plans and set goals ‎ ‎ You can’t be successful without knowing where you are going. A life vision board, 10 years’ plan and daily goals are useful of the successful people. 36 ‎ ‎ Keep a “To-be” list for the future ‎ ‎ A “To-be” list is a great way to plan for the future.
