Having served as a soldier and politician, he is often considered among the greatest of Britons. While his heroic stand against the Nazis is well known, there are still a few facts about the popular politician that might surprise you.His Cigars The classic image of Winston Churchill includes a giant cigar stuck between his lips. Churchill developed his love of cigars as a young man, when he traveled to Cuba. For he rest of his life, he smoked eight or nine cigars every day. However, he almost never took a puff(吸，抽), preferring to chew on the end until it went out, then relight it and start again. To prevent the cigar becoming soggy (湿软的), Churchill invented the “bellybando”, a strip of brown paper which could be glued around the end.At any given time, Churchill had 3,000 to 4,000 cigars in his house, mostly his favorite Romeo & Juliet brand. On one occasion, the president of Cuba presented Churchill with 2,400 top-quality cigars, although his security team insisted one cigar from each box be sent off and tested for poison. Perhaps the story that best shows his love of cigars occurred during World War II, when he had a special oxygen mask designed so hat he could still smoke his cigar on a high-altitude flight.His Black DogThroughout his life, Churchill probably suffered from depression, which he called his “black dog”. At times, his depression was so severe that he didnt like standing close to a passing train or looking at the ocean from a ship because he feared that he would commit suicide.When he was depressed, Churchill would almost spend a great deal of time in bed and lose his ability to concentrate. However, when not depressed, Churchill was full of energy, usually working and talking until the early hours of the morning. He often described how “all the colors come back into the picture”.25. Why did Churchills security team insist on checking the cigars? A. To see if they were of the best quality B. To test if they were safe for Churchill C. To make sure they were Churchills favorite D. To guarantee they were not out of date26. Which of the following best shows Churchills love of cigars? A. He fell in love with cigars at a young age B .He smoked many cigars every day C. He invented the “bellybando” D. He had an oxygen mask specially designed for smoking27. What is probably the best title of the passage? A. Achievements of Churchill B. Anecdotes about Churchill C. Hobbies of Churchill D. Personalities of Churchill CIf youre ever reading a book or watching a movie and get the clear feeling that youve come across the story before-or even better, can predict exactly whats going to happen next-there could be a good reason for that.Researchers from the Computational Story Laboratory at the University of Vermont studied the complete text of some 1,737 fiction works available on Project Gutenberg, an online collection of more than 50,000 digital books in the public area. They discovered that English literature consist of just six kinds of emotional arcs(情感弧线)that make up nearly all of the most well-known stories. By analyzing the sentiment(情感)of language used in these texts, the researchers were able to show the emotional ups and downs for the stories as a whole. They discovered that negative words like “poverty”, “dead”, and “punishment” dragged the emotion down, while positive terms like “love”, “peace”, and “friend” brought it up.According to the researchers, those six core emotional arcs are: “Rags to riches” (An ongoing emotional rise) “Tragedy, or riches to rags” (An ongoing emotional fall0 “Man in a hole” (a fall followed by a rise) “Icarus” (A rise followed by a fall) “Cinderella” (Rise-fall-rise) “Oedipus” (Fall-rise-fall)Interestingly, based on download statistics from Project Gutenberg, the researchers say the most popular stories are ones that use more complex emotional arcs, with the Cinderella and Oedipus arcs registering the most downloads. Also popular are works that combine these core arcs together in new ways within one story, such as two “Man in a hole” arcs stuck together, or the “Cinderella” are coupled with a tragic ending.28. Readers often feel familiar when reading a new story because stories have similar_. A. beginnings B. endings C. characters D. emotional arcs29. How did researchers carry out their study? A. By conducting surveys among readers B. By reading books borrowed from libraries C. By analyzing works from an online collectionD. By interviewing authors of the well-known stories30. Which set of words may drag emotion down? A. Disease, murder and war B. Hope, fortune and riches C. Smile, health and beauty D. Cold, earthquake and spring31. According to the last paragraph, which kind of works are most popular among readers? A. Works with an ongoing emotional rise B. Works with an ongoing emotional fall C. Works with a rise followed by a fall D. Works with more than one rise and fallD Most people know about the boomerang(回力棒)，the legendary Australian throwing tool which，once released，returns to its ownerBut have you heard of the boomerang generation? This refers to a phenomenon of people who move back home after briefly 1eaving their parentshouses for university in Western cultureMost of these young adults were born between the mid1970s and mid1980sThey are likened to the boomerang because they return to their home，just like the throwing too1 Monster，a job search company，reported in a survey that 48 percent of prospective(未来的)graduates planned on becoming“boomerang kids”，returning home after graduationAlthough many expected to just make a quick stop before getting their own place，Monster discovered that 42 percent of graduates said they were still living with their parents What is the cause of this passive generation? It may not be only the young peoples faultThe long-term economic recession(不景气)has made it difficult for college graduates to find jobs，while the cost of living has continued to riseAnd as a result，many young people have lost hope and self-confidenceMoreover，the unconditional love and support of parents allow the boomerang kids to rely on them without feeling much guilt Boomeranging is not all negativeKids get the chance to reconnect with their parents after university，and parents get the opportunity to be a big part of their childrens adult lives，which can lead to closer bonds But critics of this phenomenon argue that this situation affects young adultsWithout the stress or ambition to succeed，boomerang kids tend to become more passive in their search for good jobs，harming their professional ambitionsAnd finally，the extra financial burden on parents can become too heavy to bear，leading to deep and often permanent damage to the relationship32What does the passage mainly tell us? AMany young adults like boomerangBThe boomerang generation are passive CAdult children are moving back homeDThe boomerang kids are burdens on parents33What did Monsters survey show? ABoomerang kids didnt stay long at homeBThe number of boomerang kids was large CBoomerang kids were close to their parentsDThere were few jobs for young adults to do34Why are young adults becoming boomerang kids? ABecause parents want to play a role in their kidslives BBecause graduates want to reconnect with their parents CBecause it costs too much for graduates to live on their own DBecause graduates can easily succeed with their parentshelp35What is a result of boomeranging? ABoomerang kids will be selfconfident BParents may have a bad relationship with their kids CParents will be free from the burden of raising kids DBoomerang kids tend to lose their desire for knowledge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。 The teenage years can be a very confusing time filled with anxiety, especially in high school.
