Unless watched, she will walk in the streets in an effort to find her father, who died 30 years ago.‎ Not all cases of Alzheimer’s disease look like this, but Alzheimer’s is a serious disease that is said to be the fourth or fifth leading cause of death for people over age 75.‎ It is said that about three percent of the U.S. population over age 65 have Alzheimer’s. In the early stages, people may exhibit short term memory loss. Some may experience changes in personality, easy to be angry. As the disease progresses, patients might lose the ability to move and may be unable to speak or move at all. This progressive disease generally lasts 8 to 10 years before death occurs.‎ While no one is certain what causes these changes in the brain’s nerve fibers (神经纤维), their effect is certain. Alzheimer’s destroys not only the patients, but also spouses (配偶), friends and families.‎ What should you do if you notice progressive memory loss in yourself or a loved one? Have the person examined by a doctor who is a specialist in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Though many reasons other than Alzheimer’s disease may cause memory loss, its early diagnosis (诊断) and treatment may delay some of the most serious effects.‎ What feeling will you likely experience should a loved one suffer from Alzheimer’s disease? A person will often go through the various stages of sadness, shock, anger, and so on. If the spouse develops the disease, you may experience hurt and disappointment when he or she doesn’t remember you are married.‎ Life for the Alzheimer’s patients and their loved ones will never be the same as the disease progresses, bringing a deep sorrow, loss and even anger towards God. No matter what feelings are present, facing them honestly will serve one better than burying them.‎ ‎24. What can be inferred from the passage about the gray-haired lady?‎ A. She has been living with her father.‎ B. She was sad about the death of her father.‎ C. She can’t search for her father without being watched.‎ D. She suffers from Alzheimer’s disease.‎ ‎25. When people suffer from Alzheimer’s disease, ________ .‎ A. their families and friends will suffer from the same disease B. their families and friends will experience mental sufferings C. they will certainly die in 8 to 10 years D. they will forget everybody but their spouses ‎26. Memory loss occurs ________.‎ A. from Alzheimer’s disease and nothing else B. from sadness, shock, anger, and so on ‎ C. for a number of reasons ‎ D. with changes in personality ‎27. From the passage we know that ______ . ‎ A. early treatment may stop Alzheimer’s disease occurring ‎ B. it is still unknown what causes the changes in the brain’s nerve fibers C. nerve fibers in the brain will cause Alzheimer’s disease D. when one suffers from Alzheimer’s disease, he will be buried C Newspapers are one method of bringing the news to the public. Reporters，photographers，correspondents and editors are some of the people who create newspapers. They are known as journalists.‎ Reporters are journalists who go out and get the news. They attend meetings. They cover events such as court cases，plays and sporting events. They interview people to get their views about what is going on. Reporters must be able to write a story quickly so as to meet a deadline. People do not want to read old news. They want to know what is going on as soon as it happens. Reporters sometimes phone or email their notes and quotations (引用语) to the paper from the scene. A reporter in the office then writes the story.‎ A “stringer” is a parttime reporter who works when called upon. A fire might break out in one part of town. An editor may ask a stringer who lives near the scene to cover the story.‎ Reporters often work with photographers or photojournalists. Photojournalists take the pictures that illustrate (图解) the stories in a newspaper. They have to edit their pictures in time for them to appear with the story.‎ A correspondent is a journalist who covers the news in a particular place or on a subject that he or she has special knowledge in. Large newspaper groups have correspondents in foreign countries to report the news there. A paper may have a correspondent who covers just medical news.‎ An editor is a journalist who works at a desk in a newspaper office. Editors prepare the reporters’ stories to be printed in the paper. They decide which story is most important and gets the frontpage headline. They decide which pictures to use. Editors do not often write the news，but they do write editorials (社论) in which they state their views on a topic or an issue.‎ People who work as journalists have some things in common. They are curious，they like to write and they have a “nose for news”．They can spot news as it happens. They know what people want to read about.‎ 28. A journalist working abroad to report news may be called________.‎ A．a stringer B．a photojournalist C．an editor D．a correspondent ‎29. According to the passage，both the reporter and the editor________.‎ A．usually work in the office B．decide which pictures to use C．have the ability to discover news D．often write editorials for their paper ‎30. The passage is mainly written to________.‎ A．introduce different posts and duties of journalists B．describe the characters of journalists C．explain how the news is collected D．show how reporters work ‎31. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?‎ CP：Central Point P：Point Sp：Subpoint (次要点) C：Conclusion D For many people, fishing is the most relaxing way to spend the day. And in the winter months the most popular angling activity is ice fishing.‎ Although not all are interested in it, many anglers actually prefer fishing through the ice to open-water fishing. For one thing, anglers can get just about anywhere on the lake during ice fishing season, something they can’t do without a boat during the open-water season. Actually every fish that’s available to anglers in the summer can be caught through the ice ---- some are even caught more frequently in the winter.‎ Once you’ve spent a little time on the ice, you’ll soon see a different picture. Ice fishing is more than just a way to fill the long days of winter. It is a chance to breathe the cold, clean winter air, to spend quiet time outdoors with family and friends, and to relax and collect one’s thoughts away from the hustle and bustle(喧嚣) of a busy world.‎ Just walking on the ice can be an interesting experience, especially when no snow blocks the view of the water below. However, as with any outdoor activity, safety should be your top concern. When it comes to ice safety, you should steer clear of dark spots or places where the snow looks discolored.‎ Some other good rules to follow include: never fish without any companions; always test the ice with a spud(小锄头); take emergency items, such as a life jacket and ice picks; take a cell phone with you in case you need to call for help; dress in your warmest winter clothes; an empty bucket or an old lawn chair to sit on.‎ ‎32．Which of the following is TRUE about ice fishing?‎ A. It is generally more dangerous than open-water fishing B. It allows anglers fewer chances to catch certain kinds of fish C. It gives anglers freedom to move about on the lake D. It requires more skills and experience than open-water fishing ‎33．The third paragraph tells us about ____________.‎ A. the rules of ice fishing B. the advantages of ice fishing C. the ways of ice fishing D. the locations of ice fishing ‎34．The underlined phrase “steer clear of” in Para.4 probably means “_______________”.‎ A. keep away from B. get close to C. take record of D. catch sight of ‎ ‎35．In ice fishing, which serves a different purpose from the others?‎ A. A spud. B. A life jacket C. A cell phone D. A lawn chair 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分共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。‎ Matthew Youlden speaks nine languages fluently and understands more than a dozen more. ___36.__ When I told Matthew how I’ve been working hard to only pick up a second language, he had the following advice for me. ‎ Know why you are doing it This might sound easy, but if you don’t have a good reason to learn a language, you are less likely to stay interested over the long-run.___ 37.___ Wanting to get to know a French person in his or her own language is another matter entirely. No matter what your reason is, once you’ve decided on a language, it’s important to carry out.‎ ‎____38.____‎ Matthew learned several languages together with his twin brother Michael. They learned their first foreign language, Greek, when they were only eight years old! Even if you can’t get a sister or brother to join you on your language adventure, having any kind of partner will push both of you to always try just a little bit harder and stay with it.‎ Have fun with it ‎___39.___Think of some fun ways to practice your new language: make a radio play with a friend, draw a comic strip, write a poem, or simply talk to whomever you can. If you can’t find a way to have fun with the new language, chances are you aren’t following step four. ‎ Act like a child ‎ We learn by making mistakes. ___40.___But as adults, mistakes become taboo(禁忌). Think how an adult is more likely to say, “I can’t”, rather than, “I haven’t learned that yet” (I can’t swim, I can’t drive, I can’t speak Spanish).
