Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because they haven’t thought about it don't have it on their schedule, don t know it is coming or are too strict to depart from their routine.‎ I can't count the times I called my sister and said, "How about going to lunch in half hour?" She would gasp and stammer (结结巴巴地说). “I can't. I have clothes on the line. My hair is dirty. I wish I had known it yesterday. I had a late breakfast, and it looks like rain.” And my personal favorite response: “It's just Monday.” She died a few years ago. We never did have lunch together. From then on, I’ve tried to be a little more flexible.‎ Life has a way of going faster as we get older. The days get shorter, and the list of promises made to ourselves gets longer. One morning, we awaken, and all we have to show for our lives is repetition of "I'm going to", "I plan on" and "Someday, when things are settled down a bit."‎ When anyone calls my “seize the moment” friend, she is open to adventure and available for trips. She keeps an open mind on new ideas. Her enthusiasm for life is contagious to people around. You talk with her for five minutes, and you re ready to trade your bad feet for a pair of rollerblades and skip an elevator for a bungee cord.‎ My lips have not touched ice cream for 10 years. I love ice cream. The other day I stopped the car and bought a triple-decker. If my car had hit an iceberg on the way home, I would have died happily.‎ Now ... go on and have a nice day. Do something you WANT to ... not something on your SHOULD DO list.‎ ‎24. The example of the writer’s sister serves as ______ of the author's view.‎ A. an argument ‎ B. an introduction C. a support D. a conclusion ‎25. The writer thinks that the excuse "It's just Monday" is acceptable, because ‎ _______________.‎ A. it is still likely that they can have lunch together some time later B. it sounds most reasonable of all the excuses C. it shows respect for the writers suggestion D. it indicates the time when they can have lunch together ‎26. The underlined word “contagious" in the fourth paragraph means "__________".‎ A. accurate B. influential C. practical D. flexible ‎27. What is the purpose of the writer by writing this passage?‎ A. To suggest how time flies.‎ B. To persuade busy people to relax.‎ C. To advise people to keep their promise.‎ D. To persuade readers to be flexible on their schedule for practical joy.‎ C It was once thought that air pollution affected only the area immediately around large cities with factories and heavy automobile traffic. Today we know that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution, the problem is literally worldwide. On several occasions over the past decade a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the entire eastern half of the United States and led to health warnings even in rural areas away from any major concentration of manufacturing and automobile traffic. In fact the very climate of the entire earth may be affected by air pollution.‎ Some scientists feel that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of fossil fuels (coal and oil) is creating a "greenhouse effect" -- holding in heat reflected from the earth and raising the world's average temperature. If this view is correct and the world's temperature is raised only a few degrees, much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New York, Boston, Miami, and New Orleans will be under water.‎ Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particulate matter in the ‎ atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earths temperature -- a result that would be equally disastrous. a drop of just a few degrees could create something close to new ice age and would make agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top farming areas.‎ At present we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen, though one recent government report prepared by experts in the field concluded that the greenhouse effect is very likely. Perhaps, if we are very lucky the two tendencies will offset each other and the world's temperature will stay about the same as it is now.‎ ‎28. According to the passage, people today think that air pollution _________.‎ A. exists merely in urban and industrial areas B. may have an effect on the entire earth C. causes widespread damage in the countryside D. is not so serious as it used to be ‎29. What does the author think of the possibility of a new ice age?‎ A. He rejects it as being ungrounded.‎ B. He holds the same view.‎ C. He is uncertain of its occurrence.‎ D. He thinks that would happen soon.‎ ‎30. The word "offset" (Line3,Para4) means ____________.‎ A. slip into B. catch up with C. set up D. make up for ‎31. The passage is mainly about ____________.‎ A. the potential effect of air pollution B. the possibility of a new ice age C. the effects of global warming D. the causes of climate change D I stood in a noisy group of sixth grade students, waiting for the answer to our burning question: What type of crazy tie would Mr. Miller be wearing today?‎ Our teacher walked around the comer with a GREEN ELEPHANT TIE that matched his large elephant coffee cup! Oh, the satisfaction in our young hearts -- a green elephant tie!‎ With his glasses at the tip of his nose he greeted us cheerfully, "Good morning, folks!" He was strange and unique and he brightened every day for us. He was the most dynamic teacher I had ever met.‎ I loved music, so I remember how excited I was when he said he was going to give us music lessons. But when he turned on the music, my classmates and I slowly turned our heads toward the sound of …Peter Paul and Mary singing "If I Had a Hammer".‎ Snickers (窃笑) filled the room. If it wasn't rap or hip hop, we didn't recognize it. What were these people singing about? My classmates were not into this at all. But for me, a girl of 12, it was a discovery. An awakening.‎ Twenty years passed and now there are forty little eyes staring at my wild musical-note shirts as I greet them with a joyful, "Good morning, class!" I wonder if my students wait and wonder what crazy music clothes I will wear each day.‎ I glance at my 2015 Teacher of the Year Award which I received for being a dynamic teacher. And I smile to myself, wondering which child in front of me will carry this on -- as I've carried on the legacy (遗产) of Mr. Miller.‎ One teacher, who dared to be different and open new worlds to kids like me, threw the significant stone into the pond of my life. I pray the ripples（涟漪）never end.‎ ‎32. What can we infer about Mr. Miller?‎ A. He was an animal lover.‎ B. He didn’t take his work seriously.‎ C. He often dressed up in an unusual way.‎ D. He often asked his students burning questions.‎ ‎33. How did the author react to the song "If I had a Hammer"?‎ A. Puzzled.‎ B. Disappointed. ‎ C. Uninterested.‎ D. Excited.‎ ‎34. What does the underlined word "this" in the text refer to?‎ A. A kind heart. ‎ B. The smile. ‎ C. A gift for music. ‎ D. The love for teaching.‎ ‎35. What is the author s purpose in writing this text?‎ A. To prove her love for music.‎ B. To show a teachers effect on her.‎ C. To call on students to take up teaching.‎ D. To share her experience in music learning.‎ 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。‎ Questions to Ask Before Getting Your Child a Cellphone At what age should you get your child a cellphone? 36 However, before you decide to add your child to your family plan, ask yourself these questions.‎ ‎ 37 ‎ If you and your child are not often apart beyond school hours, a cellphone may not be a serious necessity but if he is independent or involved in extracurricular activities outside your home, a cellphone could be useful, especially during emergencies as a convenient means of communication with you.‎ Does your child understand the cost?‎ Make sure your child understands the cost of having a cellphone. 38 Some options to help control costs include prepaid and postpaid phones setting a monthly budget for your child.‎ How can you keep your child’s phone usage safe and under control?‎ Before you get your child a phone you should discuss what it can be used for, rules ‎ he is expected to follow, and consequences if he fails to follow them. 39 ‎ ‎ 40 If you prefer to take an extra step towards monitoring his phone use, these application programs allow you to track your child's mobile activity.‎ A. who needs a cellphone?‎ B.
