The 16-year-old didn’t know how to swim, and he wasn’t wearing a life jacket.‎ Josh was not alone in the black community. According to USA Swimming, 70% of African-American children cannot swim. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, African-American children between the ages of 5 and 14 are three times more likely to drown than white children in the same age range (范围).‎ In 2007, Butts started the Josh Project, a non-profit (非营利组织) that provides low-cost swimming lessons for children in Toledo, Ohio. The swimming lessons take place at a local high school over four Saturdays for a total cost of $10.‎ To date, the Josh Project has helped more than 1,000 children learn how to swim.‎ ‎“The public pools near our home were closed, and other places were not affordable,” said Lisa Haynes, whose 14-year-old son, Joshua, is one of 60-plus students in the Josh Project this summer.‎ ‎“I am less worried if Joshua is near water because he has the basics of how to swim,” Haynes said. “And we’re thankful for that.”‎ Butts is doing much more, however, than just providing swimming lessons.‎ ‎“She ups the awareness (意识),” said Shaun Anderson, a swimming coach who was so inspired by her story that he created a Josh Project swimming program at Norfolk State University. “Once these communities learn how to swim, they will pass it down, which results in future generations (代) that know how to swim.”‎ Butts said she has two wishes for the future: One is to change the drowning numbers of African-American children, and the other is to have a swimming center where the children can swim daily instead of just once a week.‎ ‎25. What led to Josh’s drowning?‎ A. He was poor in boating skills.‎ B. He gave his life jacket to a friend.‎ C. He was never taught swimming skills.‎ D. He was careless when swimming in the lake.‎ ‎26. Why did the author list the numbers in Paragraph 3?‎ A. To show children under 14 are more likely to drown.‎ B. To argue children should learn swimming at a very young age.‎ C. To show many African-American children lack swimming skills.‎ D. To introduce the difference between African-American and white children.‎ ‎27. What can we learn about the Josh Project?‎ A. It has its own swimming pools.‎ B. It provides lessons only in summer.‎ C. It serves children aged from 5 to 14.‎ D. Its swimming lessons take place once a week.‎ ‎28. What did Lisa Haynes think of the swimming lessons the Josh Project provides?‎ A. Expensive.‎ B. Helpful.‎ C. Interesting.‎ D. Difficult.‎ C Two hundred years ago, American students went to American schools. Like you, they studied math, spelling and geography. Unlike you, they also studied Greek (希腊语) and Latin (拉丁语). In fact, students spent more than half their time studying Greek and Latin.‎ The same was true for most students in Europe. Until the seventh century, all educated Europeans knew Latin. It did not matter if they lived in England, Italy, France or Spain. If they were educated, they knew Latin.‎ During the seventh century, educated Europeans began to study Greek as well as Latin. Greek and Latin had been the leading languages of the ancient Greeks and Romans. All educated Europeans were expected to know these languages.‎ To educated Europeans, the languages of the Greeks and the Romans were important. The ideas of the Greeks and Romans were also important. People knew that many of their own ideas had come from the Greeks and the Romans. To understand their own culture, they must understand its origin (起源). They knew that those beginnings lay in the classical (古典文学的) world.‎ Today we have so many things to study that few people have time to learn Greek and Latin. Few of you will study either language in school. Yet the ideas of the Greeks and the Romans are still important to us. These ideas still help to shape western culture today. To understand our own culture, we must understand the culture of the classical world.‎ ‎29. Two hundred years ago, in American schools _____.‎ A. there were many educated Greeks B. Greek and Latin were very popular C. students paid little attention to math D. students knew little about geography ‎30. According to the text, Europeans thought _____.‎ A. the origin of their culture was unknown ‎ B. the ideas of the Greeks were unacceptable C. Greek was much more important than Latin D. the Romans had a great influence on their culture ‎ ‎31. Where does the author of the text probably come from?‎ A. Japan. B. Greece. C. America. D. China.‎ ‎32. In the last paragraph, the author suggests that _____.‎ A. it’s of great value to learn Greek and Latin B. it’s quite difficult to learn Greek and Latin C. the culture of the classical world is useless nowadays D. Western culture is quite different from Greek and Roman cultures ‎ D The Internet has made a huge change in people’s lives, and people can’t imagine their lives without the Internet now. Because of the Internet, people can quickly sell and advertise products, and share information. Life before and after the invention of the Internet is totally different. However, what have changed the most are communication, information and business. First, people communicate with each other every day, and they all want to use the easiest way to get in touch with others. With the help of the Internet, it’s very easy for people to communicate. For example, MSN is an instant message system that people can use to send messages to friends in a second. Also, people can see and talk to their friends through a camera and a microphone (麦克风). In the past, people would have to write a letter, put a stamp on it and mail it. The receiver would have to wait for days or weeks to receive the letter. Sometimes people would miss important information or messages because of the long wait. Even though some people used express mail (快递) services such as UPS and FedEx, it still cost more than the Internet. People can also easily receive information from the Internet. Using the Internet, people can find all kinds of information which they need in their lives. For example, people can go to CNN’s website to watch today’s news, google recipes that they want to cook, and use search engines (搜索引擎) to find other information. In the past, it was impossible to find information instantly just sitting at home. Besides communication and information, the Internet also plays an important role in the business field.‎ ‎33. The best title for the passage might be ____. A. Life Without the Internet Can’t Be Imagined B. How the Internet Has Changed People’s Lives ‎ C. Communicating on the Internet Is Fast D. Any Information Can Be Found on the Internet ‎34. The author uses UPS and FedEx as examples to explain that _____.‎ A. there are many ways to communicate ‎ B. express mail services are better than e-mails C. people have to wait a long time for important information D. communicating on the Internet is cheaper than using an express mail service ‎ ‎35. The underlined word "instant" in the second paragraph means _____.‎ A. immediate B. difficult C. useful D. popular 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。‎ If you want to keep fit, please refer to the following:     ‎ Move More ‎ Make it a daily to find ways to move your body.     36   Climb stairs instead of taking the elevator. Walk your dog; play with your kids. It doesn’t have to be an hour in the gym or a 45-minute dance class. But that’s great when you’re up to it. At the same time, move more.‎ Quit Smoking Ever since 1960 when it was announced that smoking was harmful to health, Americans have been reducing their use of tobacco products. Just recently, we’ve seen more and more teens smoking. Could it be the Hollywood influence?     37   Take care! Warn your children against smoking.‎ ‎    38  ‎ While recent studies show a glass of wine or one drink a day can help protect against heart disease, more than that can cause other health problems such as liver and kidney(肝肾) disease and cancer.‎ Reduce Stress Easier said than done, stress comes in many ways.   39    Spend 30 minutes a day doing something you like such as walk on the beach or in a park, read a good book, visit a friend, listen to relaxing music, and watch a funny movie.‎ Protect Yourself from Pollution If you can’t live in a smog-free environment, at least avoid smoke-filled rooms. _40   Exercise indoors in air conditioning when air quality is good.‎ A.Avoid Excessive Drinking,‎ B.There are many things you can do to move your arms and legs C.Think carefully about what you will do D.
