He was unable to do a steady job. He fell suddenly ill and had to be admitted to the hospital.‎ He wanted to do something to keep himself busy, so he decided to volunteer at the local children’s hospital. My dad loved kids. It was the perfect job for him. He ended up working with the seriously ill children. He would talk, play, and do arts with them.‎ One of his kids was a girl with a rare disease that paralyzed (瘫痪) her from the neck down. She couldn’t do anything, and she was very depressed. My dad decided to try to help her. He started visiting her in her room, bringing paints, brushes and paper. He stood the paper up, put the paintbrush in his mouth and began to paint. He didn’t use his hands at all. All the while he would tell her, “See, you can do anything you set your mind to.” ‎ At the end of the day, she began to paint using her mouth, and she and my dad became friends. Soon after, the little girl was sent home because the doctors felt there was nothing else they could do for her. My dad also left the children’s hospital for a little while because he became ill. Some time later after my dad had recovered and returned to work, in came the little girl who had been paralyzed and only this time she ‎ was walking. She ran straight over to my dad and hugged him really tight. She gave him a picture she had done using her hands. At the bottom it read: “Thank you for helping me walk.”‎ My dad would cry every time he told us this story and so would we. He would say sometimes love is more powerful than doctor, and my dad—who died just a few months after the little girl gave the picture—loved every single child in that hospital.‎ ‎21.The author’s father worked at the local hospital to 　　　. ‎ A. realize his childhood dream B. ease his serious heart condition C. keep himself occupied and happy D. earn money to pay for treatment ‎22 How did the author’s father help the paralyzed little girl?‎ ‎ A.

He painted special pictures for her.‎ ‎23.According to Paragraph 4, the paralyzed girl 　　　. ‎ ‎ A. sent him a picture painted with her mouth ‎ B. eventually became a unique painter ‎ C. was sent home and never seen again ‎ D. gradually recovered and walked ‎24. What message does the passage mainly convey?‎ ‎ A. It’s better to give than to receive.‎ ‎ B. Volunteering is a worthwhile thing to do.‎ ‎ C. Love can sometimes bring great results.‎ ‎ D.A sick person should not focus on his disease.‎ B Chris Medina was an outstanding star on a Monday night’s audition of American Idol (美国真人秀电视节目). He made the Americans moved for more than just his singing. Chris performed the famous band The Script’s song “Breakeven” and he brought along his beloved fiancée（未婚妻）, Juliana Ramos, who is limited to a wheelchair following a terrible car accident. There is a very touching emotional story behind them.‎ Chris, an amazing singer, said he fell in love with Juliana the first moment he saw her and they became engaged soon afterwards. They had planned to get married two years after getting engaged. But shortly before they could hold each other’s hands into the marriage hall, Juliana, suffered from a brain injury in a tragic car accident. On the exact day they were supposed to get married, Chris shared a song he wrote for his fiancée with heartfelt lyrics.‎ Juliana’s idol is Oprah Winfrey and Idol judge Steven could see that she remains a fan of Chris’ music, accompanying him to the audition. Chris received a ticket to Hollywood, which Juliana proudly waved. While he is heading to Hollywood to pursue his dream of singing, Chris continues to take care of Juliana, alongside her mother.‎ Chris’ love story touched more than the Americans. It reached Irish rockers The Script, who spoke highly of the young man and his songs at the audition. “Chris Medina: not only are you a major talent, but you are one in a billion! Stay strong and never give up. This world needs more men like you.” the band’s guitarist, Mark ‎ Sheehan, said.‎ ‎25. Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage? ‎ ‎ A. Chris touched the Americans mainly for his singing. ‎ ‎ B. Chris has always been Juliana’s idol.‎ ‎ C. Chris was an American idol because of his love for his fiancée. ‎ ‎ D. Chris’ lyrics showed his true love for Juliana. ‎ ‎26. What is the correct order according to the passage? ‎ ‎① Chris took Juliana to the audition of American Idol.‎ ‎② Chris and Juliana became engaged.‎ ‎③ Juliana suffered from a brain injury in a terrible car accident.‎ ‎④ Chris received a ticket to Hollywood.‎ A. ①②③④ B. ①②④③ C. ②①④③ D. ②③④①‎ ‎27. What is Mark Sheehan’s attitude towards Chris Medina? ‎ A. He is sad about Juliana’s suffering. ‎ B. He is very pleased to hear Chris’ joining The Script.‎ C. He encourages Chris to continue to be a great man. ‎ D. He hopes that Chris can do even better at the audition. ‎ C What looks like an angry old man and lives at the bottom of the ocean? It’s the world’s ugliest animal---the blobfish(水滴鱼).‎ ‎ Its strange skin is shaped by its habitat. It lives 800 meters below the ocean’s surface, a depth where very few other creatures can survive. Most fishes have a swim bladder(鱼鳔), which is filled with gas and helps them stay afloat. At the depth that the blobfish live, water pressure is 80 times higher than that at higher sea levels and any swim bladder wouldn’t be able to serve its purpose. ‎ The blobfish don’t have a swim bladder because their skin works the same way. It helps them stay afloat without having to use any energy. The blobfish have a pretty relaxed attitude towards eating. All they do is stay and wait for crabs or lobsters to come by.‎ ‎ Since the blobfish like to eat crabs and lobsters, they often get caught in nets that are used to catch lobsters or crabs and end up dying or being killed. They are not suitable for eating so they are useless for fishermen.‎ ‎ There’s a purpose behind the blobfish’s new title; it has become the new mascot for the Ugly Animal Preservation Society, an organization whose purpose is to preserve endangered ugly animals.‎ ‎ “We’ve needed an ugly face for endangered ugly animals for a long time and I’ve been amazed by the public reaction,” said the Society’s Simon Watt. “For too long cute animals have taken the limelight but now the blobfish will be a voice for those who always get forgotten.”They hope this new face will help the world know that we need to help preserve the populations of ugly animals too.‎ ‎28. The biggest difference between the blobfish and most other fishes is that the blobfish_____ .‎ A. cannot be eaten by people B. don’t have a swim bladder C. only live at high sea levels D. aren’t active in catching food ‎ ‎29. What makes the blobfish stay afloat?‎ A. Their skin. B. Their tail. ‎ C. Their mouth. D. Their swim bladder.‎ ‎30. We can learn from the underlined sentence that _____ .‎ A. most ugly animals are in danger ‎ B. the population of the blobfish is increasing C. the blobfish have attracted the public’s attention ‎ D. people knew nothing about the blobfish in the past ‎31. What is the purpose of the passage?‎ A. To discuss the importance of preserving animals.‎ B. To give the reason for starting an organization.‎ C. To present the results of a survey. ‎ D. To introduce a special animal.‎ D Researchers in the psychology department at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) have discovered a major difference in the way men and women respond to stress. This difference may explain why men are more likely to suffer from stress related disorders.‎ Until now, psychological research has maintained that both men and women have the same “fight-or-flight” reaction to stress. In other words, individuals either react with aggressive behavior, such as verbal or physical conflict (“fight”), or they react by withdrawing from the stressful situation (“flight”)．However, the UCLA research team has found that men and women have quite different biological and behavioral responses to stress. While men often react to stress in the fight-or-flight response, women often have another kind of reaction which could be called “tend and befriend.” That is, they often react to stressful conditions by protecting and nurturing their young (“tend”), and by looking for social contact and support from others—especially other females (“befriend”)．‎ Scientists have long known that in the fight-or-flight reaction to stress, an important role is played by certain hormones(激素) released by the body. The UCLA research team suggests that the female tend-or-befriend response is also based on a hormone. This hormone, called oxytocin, has been studied in the context of childbirth, but now it is being studied for its role in the response of both men and women to stress. The principal investigator, Dr.Shelley E．Taylor, explained that “animals and people with high levels of oxytocin are calmer, more relaxed, more social, and less anxious.” While men also secrete(分泌) oxytocin, its effects are reduced by male hormones.‎ In terms of everyday behavior, the UCLA study found that women are far more likely than men to seek social contact when they are feeling stressed. They may phone relatives or friends, or ask directions if they are lost.‎ The study also showed how fathers and mothers responded differently when they ‎ came home to their family after a stressful day at work. The typical father wanted to be left alone to enjoy some peace and quiet. For a typical mother, coping with a bad day at work meant focusing her attention on her children and their needs.‎ The differences in responding to stress may explain the fact that women have lower frequency of stress-related disorders such as high blood pressure or aggressive behavior.The tend-and-befriend regulatory(调节的) system may protect women against stress, and this may explain why women on average live longer than men.‎ ‎32. The UCLA study shows that in response to stress，men are more likely than women to ______.‎ A．turn to friends for help B．solve a conflict calmly C．find an escape from reality D．seek comfort from children ‎33. Which of the following is true about oxytocin according to the passage?‎ A．Men have the same level of oxytocin as women do.‎ B．Oxytocin used to be studied in both men and women.‎ C．Both animals and people have high levels of oxytocin.‎ D．Oxytocin has more of an effect on women than on men.‎ ‎34. What can be learned from the passage?‎ A．Male hormones help build up the body's resistance to stress.‎ B．In a family a mother cares more about children than a father does.‎ C．Biological differences lead to different behavioral responses to stress.‎ D．The UCLA study was designed to confirm previous research findings.‎ ‎35. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?‎ A．How men and women get over stress B．How men and women suffer from stress C．How researchers overcome stress problems D．How researchers handle stress related disorders 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。【来源：全,品…中&高*考+网】‎ Avoid Internet Addiction ‎　36　　Many people suffer from addiction to the Internet and have a hard time paying attention to the important things around them.
