Although my long-term evaluation(评价) was good, I, who had been so fiercely independent, rapidly became absolutely helpless.‎ My husband, Scott, stepped up to the plate, taking care of kids and cooking dinners. He also became my personal caretaker, applying the medicine to all of my blisters because my hands couldn’t do the job. Needless to say, I had negative emotions, bouncing from embarrassment to shame caused by total reliance on someone other than myself.‎ At one point when I had mentally and physically hit bottom, I remember thinking that Scott must somehow love me more than I could ever love him. With my illness he had become the stronger one, and I the weaker one. And this disturbed me.‎ I recovered from my illness, but I couldn’t seem to recover from the thought that I loved my husband less than he loved me. This seeming distinction（区别） in our love continued to annoy me for the year following my illness.‎ Then recently Scott and I went on a long bike ride. He’s an experienced cyclist; I’m quite the green hand. At one point with a strong headwind and sharp pain building in my tired legs, I really thought I couldn’t go any further. Seeing ‎ me struggle, Scott pulled in front of me and yelled over his shoulder, “Stay close behind me.” As I fell into the draft of his six-foot-three-inch frame and followed his steps, I discovered that my legs quit burning and I was able to catch my breath. My husband was pulling me along again. At this very moment I woke up to what I now believe: during these and other tough times, love has the opportunity to become stronger when one partner learns to lean on the other.‎ I pray my husband will always be strong and healthy. But if he should ever become the struggling one, whether on a bike ride or with an illness, I trust I’ll be ready to call out to him: Stay close behind me--my turn to pull you along.‎ ‎24. What made the author feel helpless?‎ A. Her treatment failure. ‎ B. Her husband caring for her too much.‎ C. Her losing the previous independence.‎ D.

Began to wash the plates.‎ ‎ C Walk into the small Australian town of Coober Pedy on any given day, and you will get the strange feeling of an abandoned ghost town. So why even call it a town? Because that’s exactly what it is, complete with 4,000 plus residents of 48 nationalities, all of whom live underground!‎ Located about ‎846 km north of Adelaide, Coober Pedy was built in 1915,‎ ‎ following the discovery of opal (蛋白石). As people from across the country and world flocked to mine the precious stone, they realized that while working under the ground was easy, living above it was not, thanks to the extreme temperatures.‎ They therefore did what humans do best when faced with a situation they cannot change—adaptation! In this case, it meant living underground, by changing old mines into homes and building the world’s first and most likely, the only underground town.‎ As years have gone by, the homes have become bigger and more sophisticated (复杂巧妙的). There are now also several hotels and inns (旅馆)to accommodate the tourists that flock in from all over the world, to see this unusual town. And while the structures may be located underground, they are as good as those that lie above. Not only do the underground town take full advantage of the beautiful red rock, but they also feature all the modern amenities(便利设施) like walk-in closets, modern kitchens and televisions. And if that is not enough, the town also has gift shops selling opal jewelry, a couple of museums and even a church! For those that need some physical activities, the town offers a golf course.‎ Besides being the opal capital of the world and a popular tourist destination, Coober Pedy is also a favorite among filmmakers and has been featured in movies such as Pitch Black, Red Planet and Opal Dream.‎ ‎28. People first built Coober Pedy to _______.‎ A. avoid the hot weather B. make full use of room C. protect themselves from the animal danger above D. take advantage of the local materials ‎29. According to the fourth paragraph, Coober Pedy ______.A. has very simple structures B. has become a great tourist attraction C. provides more amenities than a modern hotel D. only allows people to live a simple life ‎30. What do people probably feel when staying in Coober Pedy?‎ A. Disappointed. B. Frightened C. Comfortable D. Curious.‎ ‎31. What is the text mainly about?‎ A. A ghost town in Australia.‎ B. Australia’s exciting underground town—Coober Pedy.‎ C. The structure of an underground town.‎ D.The attraction of Coober Pedy to filmmakers. ‎ ‎ D For years scientists have been worried about the effects of air pollution on the earth’s natural conditions. Some believe the air inside many houses may be more dangerous than the air outside. It may be one hundred times worse.‎ Indoor air pollution can cause a person to feel tired, to suffer eye pain, headache and other problems. Some pollutants(污染物质) can cause breathing disorders, diseases of blood and even cancer. Most scientists agree that every modern house has some kind of indoor pollution.‎ People have paid more attention to the problem now. It is said that when builders began making houses and offices, they did not waste energy. To do this they built buildings that limited the flow of air between inside and outside. They also began using man-made building materials. These materials are now known to let out harmful gases.‎ As the problem became more serious, scientists began searching for a way to deal with it. They discovered a natural pollution control system for building green plants. Scientists do not really know how plants control air pollution. They believe that a plant’s leaves absorb(吸收；吸引) or take in the pollutants. In exchange the plant lets out oxygen through its leaves and small organizations on its roots. Scientists suggest that all buildings should have one large plant or several small plants inside for every nine square meters of space. Studies of different plants show that each absorbs different chemicals. So the most ‎ effective(有效的) way to clean the air is to use different kinds of plants. Having green plants inside your house can make it prettier and more healthy place.‎ ‎32．Generally speaking, indoor air pollution may be more harmful than that outside because _______.‎ A. indoor air pollution can often make people seriously ill B. man-made building materials give off dangerous gases C. there may be more harmful gases outside the buildings D. the flow of air indoors is limited, which is very harmful ‎33．Some kind of indoor pollution can be found in _______.‎ A. every modern house B. every old house C. all kinds of houses D. all kinds of offices ‎34．The indoor air pollution is caused by _______.‎ A. the limit of the flow of air between inside and outside B. the building way that the builders want to save energy C. the building things that are made of man-made materials D. the man-made building materials and the limit of air-flow ‎35．The reason why we should use different kinds of plants to clean the air is that _______.‎ A. plants can let out all kinds of pollutants indoors B. plants may take in more oxygen which people need C. plants can absorb some kinds of harmful indoor chemicals D. plants can make our houses prettier and more healthy 第二节．.七选五 （共5小题：每小题2分，满分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。‎ Writing A Letter To Your Future Self Just imagine writing a letter to your future self 5 years from now, then opening it at that exact moment to see how much of it has come true. ____36．____‎ As you read the letter in the future, you can assess how many things agree with your expectations in the past. _37．______ Often times, the goals we set and our goal achievement process are affected by a lot of changes along the way.
