What encourages them to help strangers without expectation of money or even thanks?Radha Taralekar helped teach Imelda how to protect herself from HIV, though the two have never met, and neither knows the others name. Taralekar received no payment for the job. For Taralekar, the project gave her the chance to use her professional experience. “I want to serve people with my medical knowledge,” she said. For some, the inspiration to volunteer online was far more personal. After losing his wife to cancer, Tony Selman spent many hours online helping Cancer Research to collect information on the illness. “Seeing how painful she was when my wife was dying, I decided to help scientists find a way to treat cancer,” he said. Interests and hobbies are also one of the reasons. Sam Luk joined other online volunteers to try to help the police solve murder cases. The police posted them online, calling for volunteers to help them to make sense of the messages. “I am interested in this and I love Sherlock Holmes,” said Luk. For writer Clay Shirky, some large online volunteering projects help millions of people, giving him a sense of achievement. He helps write Wikipedia, the worlds biggest encyclopedia (百科全书), which is written by people willing to use their professional knowledge. 1. We can know that Radha Taralekar may be a _. A. teacherB. doctorC. writerD. policewoman 2. Why did Tony Selman decide to help Cancer Research?A. He had much time to spend online. B. He saw many people die of cancer. C. His wife was dead because of cancer.D. He became a member of Cancer Research.3. Sam Luk volunteered to help the police because of _.A. his interests and hobbies B. his duty of work C. money in return D. a sense of achievement4. How many reasons why people help strangers online are mentioned in the text?A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four. At times my mom has been unfortable seeing these qualities in me. For example，when I was 12，I went to Puerto Rico all by myself to stay with my grandmother for the summer. My mom was extremely nervous about it. She kept telling me how things were different in Puerto Rico，to always put on sunscreen，not to wander away from my grandmother，and other warnings. She helped me pack and did not leave the airport until she saw my plane take off. But despite her worries，she let me go on my own. As I moved into my teens，she continued to give me space to grow and learn，even when it might have been difficult for her. When I reached my senior year，I decided to move away for college. Once again I found that I differed from my peers：While many of them wanted to stay close to home，I couldnt wait to be out in the world on my own. While my mom may not have been happy at the thought of my going away，she was supportive and excited for me. One big thing I realized during my senior year，as my mom granted me more freedom，was that she actually believes in me and trusts me. That means a lot. Most of my life，and especially when I was little，the main person I tried to impress in my schoolwork or other things was my mother. I knew she expected nothing but the best from me. Sometimes it was hard to live up to her standards: getting a single B on my report card would make me feel bad because I knew she wanted me to have all As. I know that her high standards have helped me stay focused on whats important，like education，and made me who I am. I am thankful for her support and involvement in my life .Most of all I respect her. She is the strongest woman I know and thats why I have turned out so strong and independent.5. When the author decided to go to Puerto Rico，his mother_. Awanted to go with him Bworried about his safetyCdidnt allow him to do so Dasked his grandmother for advice6. Why did the author decide to move away for college? AHe wanted to be different from his peers.BHe planned to keep away from his mother.CHe intended to make his mother unhappy.DHe wanted to be independent in the outside world.7. We can learn from Paragraph 3 that the authors mother_. Awas too strict with him Bcared little about his learningChad a high expectation of him Dused to expect nothing from him8. What does the author mainly want to tell us in the text?AHis mothers deep love for himBHis long way to bee independentCHis good relationship with his motherDThe importance of his mothers trust and supportCI clearly remember the day when my little brother was born: January 1, 1994. One of my favorite family photos shows me lying with my mother in the hospital bed, happy but un-aware of the small, sleeping baby in the background.I stayed with my grandparents for the weekend of my brothers birth, excited about my new brother but not yet aware of what having a little brother would mean. I didnt truly realize what was going on until we were in the hospital room at Duke University coincidentally (碰巧地), the same room in which I had been born two years earlier.When I looked at my brother for the first time, I felt a mixture of fear and interest. Little did I know that small, pink creature would grow up to be one of my favorite people in the world.In reality, though I am two years older than my brother, I am more often than not the real baby in the family. I am very lacking when it es to mon sense. Instructions constantly confuse me and I frequently find myself totally puzzled by things like knowing how to start the washing machine or manage the storage settings on my iPhone. Thats where Gibson es in. The poor kid has had to guide me through more tasks than I would care to admit, but he never plains. Though I should probably be told to figure it out myself, he always es through. I m envious of his ability to readily answer the questions, “What do you want to do with your life?” question at family gatherings. “Be a doctor,” he saysa solid answer, pletely opposite to my shaky one, “Well, Im an English major, so.”My brother truly is my best friend. No one understands me better, and there isnt anyone else I would want to be stuck with(缠着) in our family. I may not have a clear idea of where Im headed, but he is stuck with me. 9. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph4 mean?A. My brother is the real baby in the family. B. I am growing more slowly than my brother.C. In fact, I seem to be less mature than my little brother.D. My brother gets more love from the family than I do.10. What does the brother often help the author do?A. Help him with his studies.B. Help him deal with many daily tasks.C. fort him when he is in a bad mood.D. Give him advice on how to choose a major. 11. What is the best title for this text?A. The Real Baby in the Family B. My Strange Family Gatherings C. The Feeling of Having a Brother D. Stuck with MeMy Not-So-Little Brother DCamp Jano India Celebrate Indian culture, languages, arts, festivals and literature.

Memorizing lines takes practice and constant repetition. However, there are a few ways to make the memorization process run smoothly and quickly. 16 For most performers, there is no quicker way of memorizing lines. To learn lines, an actor must recite the play loud over and over again. Most rehearsals (彩排) encourage this by running through the lines or having a read through. By the time opening night arrives, most actors have spoken their lines hundreds of times.Listen to your cast members.Sometimes inexperienced actors spend rehearsals looking at fellow performers, waiting patiently to say their next line. 17 This will help the actor learn his lines better because the context of the dialogue is absorbed. 18 Because there is often not enough rehearsal time, many performers find ways to listen to the plays dialogue during everyday activities. They use a tape recorder or an MP3 player to listen to the lines from each relevant scene (剧情). Some actors prefer to record the lines of all the characters, including their own. 19 Others like recording the lines of fellow cast members(参演人员), and they leave a blank space so that they can insert their dialogue while listening to the recording.Think positively and dont panic.Most actors will experience stage fright before the opening night. Actors forget lines now and then. When it happens, however, most of the time the audience never notice. If you forget a line in the middle of your performance, dont freeze. Keep the scene going to the best of your ability. If unfortunately you forget a line once, you will probably never forget that line ever again. 20 A. Record your lines.B. Practice makes perfect.C. Read lines loud and repeat them.D. Read lines loud and remember them in a short time.E. Sometimes embarrassment is the toughest method of memorization.F. Then, they not only listen carefully, but they also speak all of the lines.G. Instead, they should be listening carefully, responding in character at all times.第二部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。When I was only eight, my father decided to work far from home to earn a living for the whole family.
