She was about to travel on a train and she tires easily. The shop did not have what she wanted so I went to the garage near my home. As I came out of the garage I could see Margaret across the busy road. I thought to myself she’d just got off the bus and was on her way to her daughter's house which is next door to me. I thought I’d give her a lift to her daughter's house.‎ Then from across the busy road I could see the elderly lady I thought was Margaret going in a different direction down a different side street. I was surprised because I was really sure it was Margaret. In fact, I was so sure that I took the trouble of waiting to drive across the busy road to go to Margaret.‎ By the time I caught up with the elderly lady, she was at the bottom of a dead end and looked confused as she didn't recognize where she was. It was indeed Margaret. Though I have spoken to her before and given her a lift, she needed reminded of who I was. Margaret got in my car.‎ We arrived at her daughter's house, it seemed in darkness and I didn’t think Julie was in. I told Margaret to go and check. I had to take Lauren to the train station. If Julie wasn’t at home I’d bring Margaret back to her own house. I went to my house and Lauren got in the car, then I saw Julie with Margaret.‎ Margaret thought I was kind to her today.

It was the third time that month that Mary had forgotten something important. Mary was angry with herself. She said, “Am I losing it?”‎ Emma was teaching a class in mathematics at a college. She began to explain to the students how to solve a very difficult problem. She understood it very well. But somehow, at that moment, she could not explain it. Emma said, “I must be losing it.”‎ Americans seem to have a lot of concern about losing it. At least that is what you would think from hearing them talk. They use the expression when they feel they are losing control. It can mean losing emotional control. Or losing the ability to do something. Or losing intelligence.‎ Word experts differ about how the expression started. Some believe it came from television programs popular in the 1980s.Others believe it began with psychologists, who deal with how people think, feel and act.‎ ‎“We Americans have many concerns about controlling our lives. Perhaps we worry too much,” one psychologist said. “In many situations to say you are losing it ‎ eases the tension（不安）.”‎ It’s healthy. And most people who say they are having a problem are not losing it.‎ People may feel more like they are losing it when they are “down in the dumps”. Word expert Charles Funk says people have been feeling down in the dumps for more than 400 years. The word dumps probably comes from Northern European countries. The languages of Denmark and Norway both have similar words. The words mean to fall suddenly. Americans borrowed this saying. And, over the years ,it has become a popular way of expressing sadness. ‎ ‎8.What problem did Mary think she had?‎ A. She easily lost emotional control. B. She had quite low intelligence.‎ C. She seemed to have a poor memory. D. She lost the ability to shop wisely.‎ ‎9.How does the author explain the use of losing it?‎ A. By describing his own experiences. B. By providing research findings.‎ C. By giving instructions. D. By using examples.‎ ‎10.We can infer from the psychologist that .‎ A. Americans worry too much about their health problems ‎ B. it’s good for your health to say you're losing it C. people really lose it when they say they're losing it []‎ D. Americans enjoy controlling their lives ‎11.If someone feels down in the dumps, he or she .‎ A. is in low spirits B. is losing something C. becomes less popular D. has a sudden fall in life D A disease called “Panama” is threatening supplies of the world's most popular fruit—banana. Two years ago, the United Nations warned that the "Panama disease" could destroy "much of the world's banana crop." Since then, things have not gotten better. A new outbreak was discovered last year in Australia. The disease started in Asia in the 1990s, and later spread to Africa and the Middle East.‎ World health officials worry the disease could travel to Latin America, one of the top banana producers in the world. All this is a big concern because bananas are an ‎ important source of income and nutrients for millions of people. They are grown in 135 tropical nations. The United Nations lists bananas as one of the most important foods, along with rice, wheat and corn.‎ Randy Ploetz is a professor at the Tropical Research & Educational Center at the University of Florida.Many consider him as America's top banana expert. As he explained, Panama disease affects the Cavendish banana. The Cavendish is one of more than 500 kinds of bananas. But it is the most popular.‎ ‎“The industry is waking up to the problem, ” Ploetz said. “They are pretty scared.” He was speaking Thursday by telephone from Miami‎, ‎Florida, where he is among 1,000 people attending the International Banana Congress. The meeting was supposed to take place in Costa Rica, but was moved at the last minute. There were concerns banana growers could spread Panama disease from dirt collected on their shoes, Ploetz said.‎ Ploetz said reports that Cavendish banana production could end are not correct. But if the disease spreads to Latin America, it could hurt the world’s economy along with food supplies for millions of people. Still, he said there is reason for hope. Scientists in Australia are working on a genetically engineered banana that might not be at risk of getting Panama disease.‎ ‎12.What makes World health officials worried about the disease?‎ A. Making the banana disappear. B. Spreading to another continent.‎ C. No effective medicine to kill it. D. No ways to stop it spreading.‎ ‎13.What do you know about professor Randy Ploetz?‎ A. He is the best scientist studying banana in America. ‎ B. He helps farmers grow various bananas.‎ C. He found more than 500 kinds of bananas. []‎ D. He will find a better way to protect bananas.‎ ‎14.What’s the possible measure to defeat the disease?‎ A. Using clone technology to kill the disease. ‎ B. Inventing new medicine to prevent the disease.‎ C. Looking for effective ways to make banana healthy. ‎ D. Developing a new type of banana free of the disease.‎ ‎15.What can be a suitable title for the text?‎ A. Scientists Try to Protect Banana Trees. ‎ B. Disease Spreads Quickly to Latin America.‎ C. Disease Threatens World Banana Supplies. []‎ D. Banana Plays an Important Role in Economy.‎ 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。‎ There is no way to make somebody stop smoking, and just like with users of any drug, it is very unlikely a person will stop unless he or she wants to._16_‎ Step One: Make Observations Smoking use can affect memory and make it difficult for people to do well at work or school.
