He has inspired thousands of people to rise above circumstances and live out true meaning of life.‎ ‎ He was blinded during World War II while rescuing his friend from a tank that was under fire. He was a great athlete before the accident. In order to prove his talent and determination, he decided to try a brand new sport, a sport he never imagined playing, even with his eyesight—golf! Through determination and a deep love for the game he became the National Blind Golf Champion! He won that honor 13 times.‎ One of his heroes was the great golfer Ben Hogan, so it truly was an honor for Charlie to win the Ben Hogan Award in 1958.‎ ‎ Upon meeting Ben Hogan, Charlie was respectful and stated that he had one wish and it was to have one round of golf with the great Ben Hogan. Mr. Hogan agreed that playing a round together would be an honor for him as well, as he had heard about all of Charlie's accomplishments and truly admired his skills.‎ ‎"Would you like to play for money, Mr. Hogan?" asked out Charlie.‎ ‎ "I can't play you for money; it wouldn't be fair!" said Mr. Hogan.‎ ‎ "Aw, come on, Mr. Hogan. $1,000 per hole!"‎ ‎ "I can't. What would people think of me, taking advantage of you and your circumstance?" replied the sighted golfer.‎ ‎ "Chicken, Mr. Hogan?"‎ ‎ "Okay," replied the embarrassed Hogan, "but I am going to play my best!"‎ ‎ "I wouldn't expect anything else," said the confident Boswell.‎ ‎ "Now that you're on, Mr. Boswell, you name the time and the place!"‎ ‎ The very self-assured Boswell responded, "10 o'clock tonight!"‎ ‎24. Why didn't Mr. Hogan want to play Charlie for money?‎ ‎ A. He was worried he would lose the match.‎ ‎ B. He thought it was unfair for Charlie.‎ ‎ C. He didn't care about money.‎ ‎ D. He preferred chicken to money.‎ ‎25. According to the text, what does the underlined word "self-assured" probably mean?‎ ‎ A. ignorant B. selfless C. confident D. sincere ‎26. It can be inferred from the text that  .‎ ‎ A. Mr. Hogan was not good at playing golf ‎ B. Charlie did well in other sports before playing golf ‎ C. Mr. Hogan didn't try his best to play ‎ D. Charlie Boswell was born blind ‎27. What was the result of the match?‎ ‎ A. Charlie won. B. Hogan won.‎ ‎ C. Neither of them won. D. Not mentioned.‎ C ‎ Yoga(瑜伽) is an ancient practice that helps create a sense of union in body, mind, and spirit. It brings us balance. After a long time of practice yoga, you no longer just practice it—you love it.‎ Yoga becomes part of your physical life. Your body grows stronger, more toned(有弹性的), and more flexible as you move from one pose to another. I spent a week in Mexico at a yoga retreat, and it was the first vacation on which I lost weight. "Rather than building muscles, yoga builds muscle tone," says Shakta Kaur Khalsa, author of KISS Guide to Yoga. "Because yoga helps maintain a balanced metabolism(新陈代谢), and it also helps to control weight. Additionally, yoga stretches muscles lengthwise, causing fat around the cells disappear, thus losing weight."‎ ‎ I do yoga poses throughout the day. After hours at my computer, I stretch my stiff shoulders and arms. When I need an increase in energy, I do energizing poses. When I am feeling exhausted at the end of the day, I do restorative(恢复体力的) poses.‎ ‎ Yoga becomes part of your mental life. Yoga teaches you to focus on breathing while you hold the poses. This attention to breath is calming; it dissolves(使消除) stress and anxiety. I use yogic breathing on the tennis court, in the dentist's chair, and when I'm stuck in traffic.‎ ‎ You should always leave a yoga practice feeling energized, but not tired. If you feel tired after yoga, it means you spent the time "fighting" yourself, trying to force yourself into poses. In yoga, you “surrender” to the poses by letting go of the tension.‎ ‎28. What will be talked about if this passage continues?‎ ‎ A. Yoga is becoming part of your spiritual life.‎ ‎ B. Yoga is becoming popular all over the world.‎ ‎ C. The disadvantages of yoga.‎ ‎ D. Encouraging people to do yoga.‎ ‎29. According to the second paragraph, yoga can help people  .‎ ‎ A. grow tall B. lose weight ‎ C. be flexible in thinking D. make friends ‎30. Why does a person feel tired after yoga?‎ ‎ A. Because when practicing yoga, people will consume a lot of energy.‎ ‎ B. Because he or she surrenders to the poses by letting go of the tension.‎ ‎ C. Because yoga doesn't benefit all the people.‎ ‎ D. Because he or she doesn't do yoga poses naturally.‎ ‎31. What would be the best title for this passage?‎ ‎ A. What's Yoga? B. How do I do Yoga Poses?‎ ‎ C. The Benefits of Yoga D. The Varieties of Yoga D It seems hard to watch someone yawn（打哈欠） and not to yawn ourselves. Even reading about yawning can make you do it. Now, a new study has found why yawning has such a powerful force.‎ ‎ Yawning when others yawn, the study suggests, is a sign of pity and a form of social connection. Kids don’t develop this deeply rooted behavior until around age four, the study found. Kids with autism (自闭症) are less likely to catch yawns. In the most serious cases, they never do. Yawning might help doctors to see whether the children are developing rightly. The work could also lead to a better understanding of the ways that people communicate and connect.‎ ‎ "Emotional infection seems to be a born thing that connects us together," said Molly Helt, a graduate student in psychology at the University of Connecticut. "Yawning may be part of that." Inspiration for her study came when she tried to get her own autistic son to clear his ears on an airplane. She repeatedly yawned at him, hoping he would yawn back. He never did.‎ ‎ “The fact that autistic kids don’t do it might mean they’re really missing out on that emotional connection with people around them,” she said. “The biggest thing people try to figure out after birth is ‎ how we become humans and understand that humans have minds that are different from others,” she added. “Autistic people never seem to understand that.”‎ ‎ Like infectious （有感染力的）laughter and crying, scientists have found that yawning is a shared experience that promotes social connection. Helt said it could fight stress after a period of being nervous and spread a feeling of calm through a group.‎ ‎32. What does the new study suggest, according to the first two paragraphs? ‎ A. Yawning is a form of communication. ‎ B. It is easy to stop yawning when you see others yawn.‎ C. Children follow others in yawning just after they are born. ‎ D. Yawning has some mysterious force which is related to God ‎33. According to Molly Helt, _________. ‎ A. humans differ from animals because they communicate with others ‎ B. yawning is a kind of emotional connection among humans C. emotions are infectious, but yawning is not D. yawning helps clear ears on planes ‎34. Which of the following is NOT true about yawning?‎ A. It is natural to yawn back if people around you yawn.‎ B. Some kids are too young to yawn after others.‎ C. Yawning can be used to test children’s development.‎ D. Kids with autism yawn easily when others yawn. ‎ ‎35. The author implies in the last paragraph that ________.‎ A. yawning is different from infectious laughter and crying in theory B. it is bad manners to yawn on some social occasions C. the more you yawn, the happier you will be ‎ D. yawning can make people feel relaxed ‎ ‎ 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)‎ ‎ 根据文章内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项；选项中的两项为多余选项。‎ Summer is a time to look forward to because there is no school to get you down. 36 You just need to stay active, occupied, and have an open mind.‎ ‎·Read if you feel bored.‎ Subscribe to a magazine or comic if you don’t like books.

By now, all of you have heard about the event that happened at Coolidge Hall last weekend. On Saturday night at about 11:00, two freshmen reported that their TV, DVD player, and both of their computers were stolen from their dorm room. (17) (18) Their Samsung TV and DVD player together are valued at $600, but their Apple computers are each valued at $1000.(18)Because the total value of these goods is over $500, it is the most serious type of crime. So far, campus security and the local police have been unable to find the stolen items or the thieves. We need your help. If you were in the area of Coolidge Hall at the time of the robbery, and you think you saw something, please contact campus security at 658-2230. (19)You can also stop by one of the three offices on campus 24 hours a day. Please do not contact the local police department directly. They are very busy with other cases, and they have asked that all information about this case go through campus security. Please keep an eye out for the items. Whoever took them probably wants to sell them before taking anything else.(20)If you are offered some “used” electronics that match the description of the stolen goods, please call us right away. In the meantime, we are adding extra security staff around the dormitories, but please be especially careful with your valuable items.‎
