Across the street was a gas station, which was closed for Christmas, but I noticed a family standing under the narrow overhang（屋檐） to keep dry. I wondered briefly why they were there but then forgot about them as I couldn’t wait to see my gifts.‎ Once I got home, there was hardly any time to enjoy my gifts. My grandparents were still waiting for us to have Christmas dinner together at their house. As we drove down the highway, I noticed that the family was still there.‎ The closer we got to my grandparents’ house, the slower the car went. Suddenly, my father U-turned and said, “I can’t stand it!” “What?” asked my mother. “It’s those people back there at the gas station, standing in the rain.”‎ When my father pulled into the station, I saw there were five of them: the parents and three children—two girls and a small boy. Then we learned that the family was waiting for the bus to Birmingham, where the man planned to find a job.‎ ‎“Well, that bus won’t come along for several hours. Winborn’s just a few miles away, and there is a shed(车棚) with a cover over there,” my father advised. “I’ll pick you up there.”‎ Then they climbed into our car. My father asked the children if Father Christmas had found them. Three sad faces gave him his answer.‎ ‎“Well, Father Christmas said he was having trouble finding you, so he just left your toys at my house this morning. Let’s go to get them first,” my father said. All at once, the three children’s faces brightened up.‎ When we arrived at our house, one girl spied a lovely doll, that little boy took a ball, and the other girl picked up something else. That was the Christmas when I learned the joy of making others happy.‎ ‎25. At the gas station the family might feel _____.‎ ‎ A. anxious B. disappointed C. frightened ‎26.

A hard-working family C Fat and shy, Ben Saunders was the last kid in his class picked for any sports team. “Foothall, tennis, cricket-anything with a round ball, I was useless,” he says now with a laugh. But back then he was the one always made fun of in school gym classes in Devonshire, England.‎ It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him. At first he went biking alone in a nearby forest. Then he began to-ride the bike along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set up his mind on building up his body, increasing his speed and strength. At the age of 18, he ran his first marathon. The following year he met John Ridgway and was hired as an instructor at Ridgway’s school of adventure in Scotland, where he learnt about Ridgway’s cold-water exploits. Greatly interested, Saunders read all he could about North Pole explorers and adventures, then decided that this would be his future.‎ In 2001, after becoming a skillful skier, Saunders started his first long-distance expedition towards the North Pole. It took unbelievable energy. He suffered frostbite, ran into a polar bear and pushed his body to the limit, pulling his supply-loaded sled（雪橇）up and over rocky ice.‎ Saunders has since become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole, and he’s skied more of the North Pole by himself than any other British man. His old playmates would not believe the change. Next October, Saunder, 27, heads south from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back, a ‎2900-kilometer journey that has never been completed on skis.‎ ‎29. After the age of 15, Saunders ________.‎ A. joined a sports team B. began to build up his body C. made friends with a runner D. became good at most sports.‎ 30.

He planned an adventure to the South Pole.‎ A.a→e→d→b B. c-d→a→b C. a→e-→b→d D. c→a→b-→d 32. What does the story mainly tell us about Saunders?‎ A. He is a success in sports. B. He is the best British skier.‎ C. He is a good instructor at school. D. He is Ridgway’s favorite student.‎ D One person is brain-dead and five other are seriously ill after taking part in a drug trial(实验) for Portuguese drug company Bial at a clinic in northwest France.‎ The French health ministry said the six patients had been in good health until taking the oral medication. They started taking the drug on 7 January. One person started feeling ill on Sunday and the other five afterwards. The brain-dead volunteer was rushed to hospital in Rennes on Monday. Other patients went in on Wednesday and Thursday.‎ The French health minister, Marisol Touraine, said 90 people in total had taken part in the trial and took the drug. All trials on the drug have been stopped and the French government has started the official process to find out why the accident occurred.‎ The ministry said the test was carried out by the Biotrial clinic for Bial. The drug was a so-called FAAH inhibitor, which deals with pain.‎ Bial said it was devoted to making sure of the well-being of the test participants and was working to discover the cause of the injuries, adding that the clinical trial had been approved by French regulators.‎ Every year, thousands of volunteers, often students looking to make extra money, take part in such trials. Mishaps are relatively rare, but in 2006 six men were treated for organ failure in London after taking part in a clinical trial into a drug developed to fight auto-immune disease.‎ 33. What do we learn about the six volunteers? A. They were six Portuguese patients.‎ B. They might be victims of the new drug.‎ C. They used the drug in a hospital in Rennes.‎ D. They became ill as soon as they took the drug.‎ 34. What is FAAH inhibitor for?‎ A. Releasing pain. B. Curing cancer.‎ ‎ C. Treating organ failure . D. Fighting auto-immune disease.‎ 35. According to the text, Bial _____.‎ A. received punishment form the government B. developed the drug for the Biotrial clinic C. was forbidden to conduct any drug trial A. responded responsibly to the accident 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。‎ Ever thought of learning a foreign language? Most schools offer foreign language classes, but sometimes it feels like a real drag to have to sign up to learn something so brand new. 36‎ Promoting brain power.‎ Studies have shown that there are potentially lots of brain benefits to learn a new language. 37 And many scientists believe that the more you put your brain to work, the better results you will see. This extended brain work may actually lead to improved memory!‎ Expanding Opportunities.‎ ‎38 These days, if you live in a big city you are very likely lucky enough to be able to experience the diversity（多样性） that comes with having people from all over the world live in one place.‎ ‎39‎ Part of being more open to travel is the joy of exploring different cultures. If you are able to speak the official language of the country you are visiting, you will find this process a lot easier than if you are trying to communicate in English all the time.‎ For example, if you were to travel to Paris and were able to use French to communicate with locals, you may be introduced to aspects of French culture that you otherwise would have been completely unaware of. 40‎ A.
