Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house.Jim Hatfield has three boys and his wife died. He has a full-time job at home as well as in a shoe making factory.Last month,he received a car repair bill for $ 420.“I was deeply upset about it. Now I’ve finished a car repair course ; I should be able to fix the car by myself.”       John and Jim are not unusual people. Most families in the country are doing everything they can to save money, so they can fight the high cost of living. If you want to become a “ do-it-yourselfer” , you can go to DIY classes. And for those who don't have time to take a course,there are books that tell you how you can do things yourself.‎ ‎ 24.We can learn from the text that many newly married people _______.

In college I started blowing up. It got out of control when I went to law school. ‎ I’d made a decision a thousand times: I’m going to lose weight now. But what motivated me to get serious about it was turning 30. I weighed 414 pounds. I was always tired. Some of my family members have suffered from heart disease, and I was scared. I also wanted to look better. So after my birthday, I walked into the office of a weight-loss doctor. ‎ ‎ She was very understanding. Her focus was on balanced meals and she wanted me to exercise. ‎ ‎ Walking was all I could do at first. I started by walking a few blocks and gradually increased the distance, until one weekend, I found myself saying, “Wow, this seems pretty easy.” So I started to run. ‎ I was losing nine or ten pounds a month, and I had more energy. I started to think about the New York City Marathon. For years, I watched the runners and thought, “This looks like fun, but I could never do that.” But now I realized that maybe I could. I joined the New York Road Runners. I ran a 10 K, then a halfmarathon. I still wasn’t confident I could run a full 26 miles. But I told myself I was going to do it, no matter what. ‎ By my 33rd birthday, I was down to 180 pounds. I started formally training for the marathon. And on the morning of November 1, I stood on the Verrazano Bridge in Staten Island with more than 40,000 other runners, waiting for the event to start. ‎ ‎ It was unbelievable to have the audience cheering me on, handing me cups of water. And I crossed the finish line. My friends sprayed(喷洒) me with beer, as if I’d won the Super Bowl. And at that moment, I knew: If I set my mind to something, nothing is impossible. ‎ ‎28. The underlined phrase “blowing up” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _______. ‎ A. going weaker B. becoming fatter ‎ C. becoming healthier D. growing higher ‎ ‎29. It can be learned from the passage that the author ________. ‎ A. controlled his weight at college ‎ B. was satisfied with his figure as a kid ‎ C. may have a family history of heart disease ‎ D. began to consider losing weight at 30‎ ‎30. What do we know from the passage? ‎ A. The author started by running when losing weight. ‎ B. The author formally trained for the marathon for three years. ‎ C. The marathon the author ran started on the Verrazano Bridge. ‎ D. The author has won the Super Bowl. ‎ ‎31. Which of the following proverbs can best summarize the passage? ‎ A. Practice makes perfect. B. Pride comes before a fall. ‎ C. A good beginning is half done. D. Where there is a will, there is a way.‎ D China is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I've found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, it's the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors—silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.  It's fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks(人行道). Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can't provide.       Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied(陪伴) my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.       My first ride home was orderly(守秩序的). To be safe, I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didn't want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully. Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.       I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive. ‎ ‎32.According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today? A.Because they are traditional and safe. B.Because they are convenient and inexpensive. C.Because they are colorful and ‎ available. D.Because they are fast and environment friendly. 33.The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended _______. A.to ride it for fun B.to use it for transport C.to experience local culture D.to improve his riding skills 34.How did the author feel about his street crossing? A.It was boring. B.It was difficult. C.It was lively. D.It was wonderful. 35.Which of the following best describes the author's biking experience? A.The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills. B.The author was annoyed by the air while riding. C.The author took great pleasure in biking.‎ D.The author was praised by the other bikers. ‎ 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。 ‎ Homework is a major part of going to school: It’s your teachers’ way of evaluating how much you understand what's going on in class. _____36_______ Luckily, you can do a few things to make homework less burden.‎ Be sure you understand the homework. ‎ Write your homework down in your notebook or day planner if you need to. _________37____ It’s much easier to take a minute to ask the teacher during or after class than to struggle to remember later that night!‎ Use any extra time in school. ‎ Many schools have study halls that are specifically designed to allow students to study.

Once your homework is done, you can check over it if you have extra time.‎ C. Plan yourself.‎ D. But the more work you can get done in school, the less you'll have to do that night.‎ E.
