As a matter of fact, we can see this _21_at work in people of all _22_. For example, on Christmas morning, children are excited about _23_ with their new toys. But their _24_ soon wears off and by January those _25_ toys can be found put away in the basement. The world is full of _26_ stamp albums and unfinished models, each standing as a monument to someones _27_ interest. When parents bring home a pet, their child _28_ bathes it and brushes its fur. Within a short time, however, the _29_ of caring for the animal is handed over to the parents. Adolescents enter high school with great _30_ but are soon looking forward to _31_. The same is true of the young adults going to college. And then, how many _32_ , who now complain about the long drives to work, _33_ drove for hours at a time when they first _34_ their drivers license? Before people retire, they usually _35_ to do a lot of _36_ things, which they never had _37_ to do while working. But _38_ after retirement, the golfing, the fishing, the reading and all of the other pastimes become as boring as the jobs they _39_ . And, like the child in January, they go searching for new _40_.21. A. principle B. habitC. weakerD. power22. A. parties B. races C. countriesD. ages23. A. working B. living C. playingD. going24.

It is the choice to ignore the worries and fears. It is the choice to do right, to realize our dreams, to be successful people and to lead the way for others. Courage can change lives. The day you begin to stare down your fears and worries, and instead act bravely, your life will change. You will be set free to fly high. You will finish things you once only dreamed of. You will realize that your fears are just paper tigers. You will begin to fulfill your dreams. You will also change the lives of others. Simply put, courageous people pull others along with them. Everybody benefits from courageous people. I have a friend whom I admire greatly. A few year ago he decided to leave a well-paid career and run after his dream. All difficulties then appeared. The day he left his company, he found out that his wife had cancer. He went into a great deal of debt. But he never lost heart. He managed to raise some money and acted courageously, putting his name and reputation on the line. He finally made it. A year later, he had a company with over fifty employees. Those employees got benefits from his courage and his wife, who beat cancer and was acting bravely with him! How to be courageous? Be clear about your dream. Do not worry. Worry is just thinking about all the bad possibilities. Courage is just thinking about all the great possibilities and then acting upon them! Do your homework. It helps you get the facts. It helps because you can make an informed decision. Then act. No action, no success. Yes, courage does change lives, and the key lies in your action.41.

The underlined phrases “stare down”(paragraph 2) probably means “ ”. A. overcome by staring B. fell or realize C. look for a long time D. give in to or accept43. The writer uses the case of his friend to . A. prove anyone can succeed if he runs after his dream B. prove people who have courage can beat cancer C. tell readers how his friend succeeded by having courage D. show doing own business is better than working for others44. What can we do to be courageous? A. Do not dare to have many dreams. B. Think about the great possibilities instead of bad possibilities. C. Finish all of your homework that teachers give you. D. Make a quick decision and then insist on it.B A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms, though my teacher emphasized the importance again and again. But soon,the importance of English idioms was shown in anamusingexperience. One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English,the foreigner seemed to be astonished . Gently shaking his head and shrugging his shoulders, he said, “You dont say!” “You dont say!” I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is not an appropriate topic. “Well, Id better change the topic.”So I said to him, “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way, have you ever been there?” “Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It was magnificent.” He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide. “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very proud of it.” Soon I was interrupted (or stopped suddenly) again by his words：“You dont say!” I couldnt help asking, “Why do you ask me not to talk about it?” “Well, I didnt request you to do so,” he answered, greatly surprised. I said, “Didnt you say you dont say?” Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, “You dont say actually means really? It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you dont pay attention to English idioms.” Only then did I know I had made a fool of myself. Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions. Remember: what the English teachers said is always right to us students.45. A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms because_. AEnglish idioms were not important BI was not careful with English idioms C My teacher didnt emphasize the importance ofthem DI had no interest in them 46. At first, on hearing “You dont say,” I thought the foreigner meant_. Ahe was not interested in the topic Bhe was only interested in the Great Wall CI had talked too much DI had to stop talking 47. The underlined word in the first paragraph probably means_ . Ainteresting Bimportant Cterrible Dunlucky48. Which of the following is true according to the passage?AThe Englishman left China without seeing the Great Wall. BThe Englishman wanted to see the Great Wall after I talked about it.CThe Englishman wanted me to act as his guide. DThe Englishman visited the Great Wall and thought it is worth visiting.49. After the Englishman explained theidiom, _. AI thought the Englishman had made me a fool Bthe Englishman became a real fool CI felt very silly DI became more careful in everythingC Many science fiction stories tell about explorers arriving in a new world who use some kind of high-tech device to test for breathable air or signs of life. But here on Earth, science fiction is becoming reality through a new sampling technology called environmental DNA (eDNA). Scientists can use it to identify rare species, or estimate fish populations with just a little air or water. Scientists study the genetic material released by living creatures. Essentially they can take a sample of soil, air or water, and they can sequence (排序) the DNA out of it and tell you what is there.EDNA can be used to identify the creatures that live in a certain place. Besides, it can confirm the presence or lack of a specific creature. The cost of gene sequencing has reduced greatly in recent years, which makes DNA testing more widely available.Caren Goldberg, who heads the new eDNA lab at Washington State University, is one of the first biologists to take the technology from the testing period to actually using it.“It is extremely useful for species that are really hard to find. I have spent many hours looking for species that I was pretty sure were therelooking under rocks, looking in water, doing all kinds of surveys.”Caren Goldberg sees eDNA as a way to get answers more efficiently, safely and with less destruction compared to traditional survey techniques. Until recently, scientists depended on netting or using an electric current(电流) to temporarily catch fish.This newer way is becoming popular around the world. Animal experts in Vietnam are using the eDNA to find the last, wild Yangtze giant softshell turtles. On the Caribbean island of Trinidad, it is being used to find endangered golden treefrogs.Scientists working with it say they do not expect robots to replace field biologists anytime soon. But the old-fashioned field work could soon be more targeted. A related research goal is to show how long environmental DNA can last and how far it can travel in different environments.50. DNA testing is widely used mainly because _.A. its cost has reduced greatly B. its result is more accurateC. its procedure is easy to run D. it frees biologists of hard work51. What is Caren Goldbergs opinion on eDNA?A. Its hard to put it in actual use. B. Its helpful only in a limited way.C. It takes more time to get the results. D. It may cause less damage to species.52. What does the underlined sentence mean in the last paragraph?A. The old-fashioned field work would be more popular.B. The old-fashioned field work would face more difficulties.C. More research will be made on the old-fashioned field work.D. It is still uncertain to confirm the effects of eDNA testing.53. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Science Fiction Makes Space Exploration Much EasierB. Science Fiction Becomes Reality for Species SurveysC. Species Surveys Are More Awesome Than You ThinkD. Environmental DNA testing Contributes To Our SocietyDStudents at Monument High School are participating in a unique activity called the Independent Project. The program is an “alternative” school thats completely run by students no teachers, parents, or adults are allowedand theyre in charge of deciding their entire courses. What these teens study in the classroom and their homework are all entirely up to them.Students arent taking this lightlyinstead of reacting irresponsibly to the freedom to design their own studies, theyre eagerly grasping their own interests by writing poetry collections, learning instruments and taking flight lessons.“I think the more choices we have in our schools, the more students we will help develop into the kind of citizens that we need,” Principal Marianne Young explains. “And that its okay for you to need a little bit of a different approach from mine.”The only structure to the program is this: On Mondays students come up with questions that interest them about one of their school subjects, then they spend the rest of the week researching and coming up with potential conclusions to these inquiries. On Fridays, they present this information to their classmates.Teens express their satisfaction with the program because it accommodates different kinds of learners, even those who dont always succeed in a traditional academic sense.“I have dyslexia (阅读障碍), so its very hard reading and writing and doing those sorts of things. School has always been a big problem for me,” one student named Sergio explains. “If not for this program, I dont know if Id be graduating-I dont know where Id be right now. I think this has really been my savior and got me through the last two years of high school.”54. What can we know about the Independent Project?A. Normal school courses are a must. B. It aims to help students with math.C. Therere no teachers involved in it. D. Students must study courses at home.55. According to Principal Marianne Young, _.A. more course choices will benefit top studentsB. different learning styles should be encouragedC. teachers play a key role in students educationD. knowledge can be better gained by discussions56. Whats teens attitude towards the Independent Project?A. Doubtful.B. Cautious.C. Approving.D. Critical.57. What is the passage mainly about?A. An unusual educational program.B. The benefits of interactive learning.C. The structure of a learning program.D. The differences in individual learning.第二节 (共5小题，每题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正确选项。选项中有两个多余项。 We all know that we should use smart study strategies for learning. _58_The tips below come from scientific studies.Reduce Your Cell Phone UseIt should come as no surprise that spending too much time on the cell phone can affect your grades. _59_Studies show that there is a relationship between cell phone use, anxiety, and student performance.
