While most of us tend to move on after mourning over the lost necessities, there are a few lucky ones who get them back, with the help of the police or the generosity of the person who finds it.‎ And then there is Hunter Shamatt, who not only got back his wallet but with some added happiness that was tagged along!‎ Hunter was on his way to attend his sister’s wedding on a Las Vegas-bound flight when he realized that he has misplaced his wallet, sometime during the journey. Hunter’s family reached out to the Frontier flight to enquire if someone had handed it over to them. Unfortunately, there was no sign of the missing wallet.‎ But wait. The story was far from over. Just a week after Hunter’s sister’s wedding, he received a package in his mail. And guess what? There was his wallet! Surprisingly, the wallet was not the only thing that was inside the package. It also had a handwritten note for Hunter which turned out to be a bonus! The piece of paper read,‎ ‎“Hunter, Found this on a Frontier flight from Omaha to Denver — row 12, seat F wedged between the seat and wall. Thought you might want it back. All the best.‎ P.S. I rounded your cash up to an even $100, so you could celebrate getting your wallet back. HAVE FUN!!!”‎ Moved by the touching gesture, Hunter’s mom, Jeannie Shamatt, decided to write a post on Facebook giving a detailed description of the incident. She also urged everyone to share the post as she would like to meet and greet the person behind the act of kindness, personally.‎ Now, thanks to the astonishing power of social media, the post finally reached the man behind the note. The man was identified as Todd Brown and it was one of his co-workers who made sure Jeannie Shamatt’s post reaches his colleague. Jeannie turned to Facebook again to thank Brown and his family for restoring her faith in humanity.‎ ‎“I try to teach my children to do the right things in life, help people when you can regardless of the outcome.

Last month, she finished a daring trip around the world aboard her 38-foot boat, Guppy. Dekker, who is from the Netherlands, traveled more than 30,000 miles all by herself. She is the youngest person ever to sail around the globe alone.‎ Dekker had wanted to take on this challenge when she was even younger. She first tried to set sail at the age of 13, but a court in the Netherlands stopped her. They said that she was too young to make such a risky trip by herself. But Dekker insisted she had the navigation skills and patience of an adult sailor.‎ She finally took off on August 21, 2010. During her trip, Dekker battled loneliness, storms, and worries about pirates. But she also got to surf and scuba dive, and started a new hobby: playing the flute. Although Dekker didn't spend all of her time at sea － she stopped at ports along the way － she did spend her 16th birthday on the open ocean. To celebrate, she ate doughnuts for breakfast.‎ But Dekker didn't sail into the record books. Guinness World Records and the World Sailing Speed Record Council no longer recognize records for "youngest" sailors. They dropped the category in 2009 to discourage children from attempting such dangerous feats（壮举）. But that ‎ didn't stop Dekker, who was born on a yacht（大游艇） during a seven-year world voyage undertaken by her parents.‎ Dekker doesn't mind that she won't hold an official record. She says it was a personal goal, and she is happy she achieved it.‎ ‎"I am not disappointed at all that Guinness World Records won't recognize my attempt," Dekker wrote on her website, "I did not start on my trip to achieve any record… I did it just for myself."‎ ‎28．Dekker wasn't allowed to sail at the age of 13 because ________.‎ A．people were concerned about her safety B．she didn't learn the sailing skills well C．she had to continue her study at school D．she didn't have enough patience for long trips ‎29．What does the underlined word "accomplished" in Paragraph 1 mean?‎ A．Failed. B．Finished.‎ C．Continued. D．Started.‎ ‎30．In 2009 records for youngest sailors were canceled in order to ________.‎ A．set a higher sailing standard for teen sailors B．stop children entering Guinness World Records C．encourage parents to sail with their children D．prevent children making dangerous attempts ‎31．What could be the best title for this passage?‎ A．A New Guinness World Record in Sailing B．A New Sailing Standard for Teen Sailors C．A Teen Girl Sailing Alone Around the World D．The Youngest Sailor in Guinness World Records D ‎ Every year from March to October, Christian Moullec, also known as “Birdman,” takes to the skies aboard his adapted light aircraft. However, the 58-year-old Frenchman’s daily 30-minute flight is not just to enjoy the impressive views, but to guide flocks (鸟群) of lesser white-fronted ‎ geese (小白额雁) through safe migration paths which the birds can teach future generations.‎ His deed began in 1995 when he noticed their declining population in the wilds of Lapland, Sweden. To prevent their numbers from dropping further, Moullec tried to get the threatened species to follow him along migration routes that would protect them from bird hunters.‎ However, getting grown geese to follow his lead proved challenging. As young geese imitate and follow whomever they view as their parent, Moullec decided to raise the geese from birth.‎ To help raise funds and awareness of his job to protect not just the geese but birds worldwide, Moullec often allows paying tourists to join him on the 30-minute-long flights aboard his aircraft. In addition to the trained birds flying alongside them, visitors, who come from as far as a 15-hour plane flight away, are treated to a variety of crane and geese species as well as breathtaking views of castles and cities.‎ He often brings his camera along for the flights, capturing photos not just for their beauty, but for what they describe. Moullec believes the use of agricultural chemicals has done harm to wild European birds, with more than a third disappearing in the last 30 years. “It, s a disaster,” he said. “My beautiful images with flying birds should be used to tell this story. ”‎ ‎32．Why does “Birdman” always fly to the sky on his aircraft?‎ A．To observe geese along their migration routes.‎ B．To follow geese through safe migration paths.‎ C．To take visitors to operate his adapted aircraft.‎ D．To guide geese fly safely during the migration.‎ ‎33．What do we know about “Birdman”？‎ A．He is a nature lover. B．He is a bird watcher.‎ C．He is a volunteer pilot. D．He is a bird hunter.‎ ‎34．What does Moullec often take photos in his flights for?‎ A．Recording the use of agricultural chemicals.‎ B．Showing serious damage caused by chemicals.[来源:Z|xx|k.Com]‎ C．Describing his experiences with flying birds.‎ D．Capturing the beautiful views of birds and cities.‎ ‎35．What can be a suitable title for the text?‎ A．Birdman Guides Flocks to Learn to Fly.‎ B．Birdman Finds Birds Disappearing.‎ C．Birdman Helps Flocks Safely Migrate.‎ D．Birdman Protects Birds From Hunters.‎ 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。‎ We shouldn’t judge a person by their appearance but we do. In fact, the experts say that when we meet someone for the first time we make a decision about what that person is like in three seconds. 36． One of the most important things we look at is clothes, but it isn't the brand of clothes that people wear that is important. The important thing is to wear the right clothes for the right places.‎ Schools have always understood this and a lot of them ask their students to wear a uniform. Why? A lot of teachers think a uniform makes students feel that they are part of their school and that their form helps them to be serious about their studies. 37． If all the students wear uniforms, they can’t judge each other because of their clothes. It also stops gossips about who or what is fashionable.[来源:学科网ZXXK]‎ ‎38． We all have fixed ideas about what the people in a certain job should wear. If we visit a doctor, we hope to see respectable clothes under the doctor’s white coat. 39． Police officers wear uniforms to make themselves easily identifiable to non-police officers. In fact, a lot of companies have dress codes for their staff because they know that the customers hope to see them dressed in certain types of clothes.‎ But can our clothes really tell people what we are like? 40． When people see us in the right clothes, they think we are serious about what we are doing. Furthermore, if we are clean, smart and polite, people will believe us a lot.‎ A．Maybe not, but they can show our attitude to what we are doing at the moment.‎ B．Some of the teachers hold different opinions.‎ C．But what do we look at?‎ D．Teachers say that uniforms can help in other ways too.‎ E. Our clothes stand for our attitude.‎ F. However, it is not only schools that want people to dress in a certain way.‎ G. When we go into a bank we expect the staff to wear suits or dresses.‎ 第三部分 完形填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ ‎ Next week，strangers with a truck will take away everything we own，except the clothes on our backs，the car we will drive，and as much stuff as we can pack into it．‎ It’s called 41. ．Some people do it often．For others，like me，it’s a 42. experience．In all my adult years，I’ve moved only three times．‎ My first 43. and I moved into our first house with a bed，our clothes and a few gifts．That was many years ago．Over the years，I 44. that house with three children，a few dogs and enough stuff to 45. the ceiling．‎ Then the kids grew up，I lost my husband to cancer，and I began to learn about 46. ．‎ First，I let go of the 47. of being in contro1．Life isn’t about being in charge of what 48. ；it’s about being in charge of what we do with it．‎ Next，I let go of 49. the things I care most about，like keeping in touch with the people that 50. the most to me．‎ I let go of the people whose 51. are about anger or hatred，and tried instead to 52. myself with those who shine with 53. ．‎ Finally，I let go of being alone—I remarried．I 54. moved to a new city with my new husband，and after that move，I 55.
