After the accident, only a finger and thumb on his right hand remained.‎ He was a brilliant, creative, and educated man. He had gained a lot of experience while traveling around the world, so he became very depressed after his accident. He was afraid that he would spend the rest of his life suffering and would no longer be able to spend his life in a meaningful way. Then, he realized that he still had partial function of his right hand and could still write even though it was very difficult. An idea occurred to him. “Why not write to other people who need encouragement?”‎ He wrote to the prison ministry about sending letters to the prisoners. The prison minister replied, “Writing to the prisoners is acceptable, but your letters will not be answered.”‎ Filled with excitement, the man knew he could write his letters. He began sending one-way messages of God’s love, hope, strength, and encouragement. He wrote twice a week, testing his strength and ability to the limit. He poured his heart and soul into his words and shared his experience, sense of humor, optimism, and faith.‎ It was difficult to write those letters, especially without hope of a reply. One day he received a letter from the prison ministry. It was a short note from the officer who monitored and checked the prison mail.‎ The letter said, “Please write on the best paper you can afford. Your letters are passed from cell(囚房) to cell until they fall to pieces!”‎ No matter what circumstances life may present, we all have unique experiences, abilities, and God-given talents. We can discover ways to reach others who desperately need messages of encouragement and strength.‎ ‎24. In order to live in a meaningful way, what did the man begin to do?‎ A. Encourage the people who are depress ‎ B. Receive the school education again.‎ C . Write to other people encouragement. ‎ D. Help other people with lost arms and legs.‎ ‎25.

The man was not allowed to write to the prisoners.‎ D. He was not sure if the prisoners liked receiving the letters.‎ ‎26. What can be inferred from the officer’s short note?‎ A. His letters were very popular among the prisoners.‎ B. Some of the prisoners were not satisfied with his letters.‎ C.. The man would be offered free paper to write letters on.‎ D. The prisoners eagerly wanted to write back to the man.‎ ‎27. Which can be the best title of the passage?‎ A. Popularity of Some Special Letters B. Relationship between a Writer and Prisoners C. Stories about a Helpful Person D. Special Letters of Encouragement C Everyone who has eaten instant noodles（方便面） knows that it’s very easy to cook them quickly. However, have you ever heard of the danger of eating them?‎ When taking out the noodles from the packaging, you will notice that they are joined together nicely as a piece. Do you know that it needs some form of wax coating (蜡涂层) to make them joined together nicely? Many people don’t really care much about it because this seems very normal. However, studies have shown that the wax coating is bad for our body.‎ It is advisable to have a break of 2-3 days before we start to eat another packet of instant noodles because our body needs about 3 days to clear that wax coating away. Do you know the danger of having too much wax coating in our stomach? It will lead to CANCER if it is in our body for so long.‎ Luckily, there is a way to reduce the danger before we eat instant noodles. First, wash the noodles with warm water, stir (搅拌) them and pour away the water containing the wax coating. Then repeat the first step and try to stir them again to wash away the wax coating on the noodles before cooking them. The shop vendors (供应商) will often wash away the dangerous wax coating.‎ It is very easy to cook instant noodles but we must pay attention to the wax coating if we eat too much. Imagine having too much of it in your stomach. Oh, my! Hope this article will help more people know about the hidden danger!‎ ‎28. What should you do before eating instant noodles according to the writer?‎ A. Drink large amounts of warm or hot water B. Stop the noodles from joining together.‎ C. Stir the noodles twice in really cold water.‎ D. Wash away the wax coating on the noodles.‎ ‎29. What’s probably the author’s attitude to eating instant noodles?‎ A Happy. B. Supportive. C. Careful. D. Angry.‎ ‎30. What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?‎ A. The wax coating. B. The hidden danger.‎ C. . The instant noodle. D. The attention.‎ ‎31. The author writes this text mainly to _____ .‎ A help us to know the good part of wax coating B. share with us a safer way to eat instant noodles C. introduce delicious instant noodles to people D. tell people the danger of eating wax coating ‎ D ‎ Life is difficult.‎ What do you think about life? Maybe most people say that life is difficult. But life is no longer difficult once we truly understand and accept it. Most people do not fully see this truth. Instead, they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that their difficulties represent a special kind of suffering especially forced upon (强加于) them or their families, their class, or even their nation.‎ What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one. Problems, depending on their nature, cause us sadness or loneliness or regret or anger or fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.‎ Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning.‎ Problems are the serious test that tells success from failure. When we desire to encourage the growth of the human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said, “Those things that hurt instruct.” It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.‎ ‎32. The writer probably used just one short sentence in the first paragraph to _________.‎ ‎ A. give an example B. argue with readers ‎ C. show his opinion D. get readers’ attention ‎33. According to the passage we give school children difficult problems in order to _________.‎ ‎ A.. help them learn to deal with pain ‎ ‎ B. teach them to fear the pain of solving problems ‎ C. encourage them to solve problems ‎ D. teach them how to respect problems ‎34. The saying from Benjamin Franklin “Those things that hurt instruct.” suggests that _________.‎ A. pain teaches us important lessons B. we do not learn when we are in pain ‎ C. we do not learn from experience ‎ ‎ D. the pain of problems is not welcome ‎35. The passage mainly tells us that _________.‎ ‎ A. people like to complain about their problems ‎ B. life is difficult because our problems bring us pain C. we become stronger by facing and solving the problems of life D. everybody has problems 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。‎ Being prepared and knowing the right things you have to do during the flood will give you greater chance to be safe and survive.
