But now he is married and has a new job. He and his wife, Sherry, want to start keeping their money in a bank.When he went to the bank, he was surprised. He told Sherry, “When you open a checking account, its like shopping. You choose the services you need. The man at the bank asked us to read this chart and choose the plan that is right for us.”Types of Checking AccountsPlansBenefitsFeesSpecial Checking($ 25 to open)l open with only$ 25l 5 free checks per monthl $ 3.00 monthly service chargel $ 0.50 for each check over 5Personal Checking（$ 100 to open）l unlimited free checksl no fee to use banks automated teller machine ( ATM)l $ 8. 00 monthly service chargel no fee when you keep a $750 daily balance or $ 1,500 in savingsEARN Checking with Interest( $200 to open)l unlimited free checksl no fee to use banks ATMl pay 2% interestl $ 8. 00 monthly service chargel no fee when you keep a $1500 daily balance or $ 2,000 in savingsJon and Sherry estimated the number of checks they would write each month. Between home expenses and personal spending, they realized they might write as many as 25 checks in a month. They decided the Special Checking account would cost too much. It had a check charge and a service charge. The EARN checking account would require them to keep too much money in the bank. They chose the Personal Checking account because the $ 8.00 service charge would be cheaper than paying $ 0. 50 per check.21. Joe chose the Personal Checking account with the following reasons EXCEPT that _.A. the account provided unlimited free checksB. the service charge was cheaper than Special CheckingC. they could get interest every monthD. they needed to pay no fee to use ATM22. You must keep at least _ in the Personal Checking account to avoid paying the monthly service charge?A. $ 750. 00. B. $ 1,500. C. $ 8.

Tens of thousands of people are fleeing civil war and unrest（动荡） to find new homes in Europe sometimes with sad consequences（后果）.On Aug 27, Austrian officials found the dead bodies of 71 Syrian migrants（移民） in an deserted truck near Austrian-Hungarian border, just as European leaders were holding a meeting in Vienna to figure out how to deal with the refugee crisis. On the same day, 200 migrants were feared dead and 200 rescued as two boats packed with refugees sank off the coast of Libya, according to media reports.The terms “migrant” and “refugee” are often used interchangeably. But theres a big difference between them, says an article in the Atlantic magazine. Here is how the United Nations defines refugees: “Refugees are persons fleeing armed conflict（武装冲突） or ill-treatment. Their situation is often so dangerous and intolerable that they cross national borders to search for safety in nearby countries. These are people for whom denial（拒绝） of protection has possibly deadly consequences.”Migrants, on the other hand, move mainly to improve their lives by finding work, or for education, family reunion or other reasons, said the agency.Countries should offer refugees certain protections under their international treaty obligations（条约义务）. This is why some states hesitate to admit those people who are fleeing unrest in their home countries.When talking about refugee and immigration problems, many media outlets use “illegal immigrant”（非法移民）. Critics say that it gives the impression that its the person that is illegal rather than their actions. The UN and the EU parliament have called for an end to the phrase, the BBC reported.23. The numbers mentioned in Para. 2 prove _.A. how serious the refugee crisis in Austria isB. that it is the worst refugee crisis in the world C. what sad consequences some refugees faceD. that the number of refugees is so large24. The differences between “refugee” and “migrant” are written with the purpose of _.A. defining the two words clearlyB. indicating why some states are not willing to admit refugeesC. showing that refugees are more than migrantsD. urging European countries to accept more refugees25. According to the text, “refugee” differs from “migrant” in that _. they both cross national borders but with different purposes refugees are illegal while migrants are legal refugees may face deadly consequences while migrants are relatively safe refugees are treated badly while migrants are highly respectedA. B. C. D. 26. According to the text, what may be discussed in the next several paragraphs?A. Explanations for “illegal immigrant”B. Examples about the refugee crisis in EuropeC. Measures to offer refugee protectionsD. Causes of the refugee crisis in EuropeCWhen Oliver Sacks, 82, died on Aug 30 at his home in New York City, the world was saddened by the loss of a brilliant neurologist（神经学者） and a truly beautiful mind.London-born Sacks was most famous for his writing. A Forbes obituary（讣告） calls him “one of the greatest writers of science of the past 50 years. Maybe the greatest.”In his best-selling 1985 book, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, Sacks described a man who could not tell the difference between his wifes face and his hat, because his brain had difficulty telling what he saw.In xx, Discover magazine ranked it among the 25 greatest science books of all time, declaring, “Lots of neuroscientists now looking into the mysteries of the human brain cite this book as their greatest inspiration.”His 1973 book, Awakenings, is about a group of patients who were frozen in a decades-long sleep until Sacks tried a new treatment. The book led to a 1990 movie in which Sacks was acted by Robin Williams. It was nominated（提名） for three Academy Awards.Another book, An Anthropologist on Mars, published in 1995, described cases like that of a painter who lost his color vision in a car accident but found new creative power in black-and-white images. Sacks also wrote the story of a 50-year-old man who suddenly regained sight after nearly a lifetime of blindness. The experience was a disaster. The mans brain could not make sense of the visual world. After a full and rich life as a blind person, he became “a very disabled and miserable（悲惨的） sighted man,” Sacks wrote. “When he went blind again, he was rather glad of it.”Despite the drama and unusual stories, Sacks books were not meant to be freak shows. “Oliver Sacks humanizes illness. he writes of body and mind, and from every one of his case studies there shows a feeling of respect for the patient and for the illness,” Roald Hoffmann, a Nobel Prize-winning chemist, said in xx.When Sacks received the Lewis Thomas Prize for science writing in xx, the citation（荣誉状） declared, “Sacks presses us to follow him into unknown areas of human experienceand forces us to realize, once there, that we are facing only ourselves.”27. The following statements are wrong EXCEPT _.A. The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat was ranked among the 25 greatest science books B. Anthropologist on Mars led to a movie in which Sacks was acted by Robin WilliamsC. In Awakenings, Sacks recorded a man who regained sight after a lifetime blindnessD. Awakenings is often cited by neuroscientists to prove the mystery of human brain28. Why was Sacks called one of the greatest writers of science over the past 50 years?A. He was born in London and most famous for his writing.B. He was a brilliant neurologist and had a truly beautiful mind.C. He received the Lewis Thomas Prize for science writing in xx.D. He wrote a series of books, the influence of which was great.29. The underlined word freak in Para. 7 can be replaced by _. A. pureB. monC. unusualD. attractive30. The passage is mainly about _.A. the awards Oliver Sacks wonB. the life experiences of Oliver SacksC. the influence of Oliver Sacks worksD. the reasons why Oliver Sacks succeededDOur first wele to the UK wasnt from the staff of Heathrow Airport or the coach driver who entered into our lives to take us to our new city and new home for the next three weeksIt was, in fact, the noisy and energetic seagulls（海鸥） full of songs that flew down to us. When left from the planes exits passage, we still could hear their loud and clear songs through the glasses. It was amazing that they lifted our spirits and cheered us up after our stupidly long and god awful 18hr journey. These seagulls weled my Chinese people into their home with open wings and if they could speak instead of merely squawk（鸟叫）, Im sure we wouldve struck up some bright and harmonious relationship. They liked to hover（盘旋） overhead around with childlike greetings they sang or just simply walk fearlessly close to our feet. Some of us saved bread our host family prepared in the lunchboxes for these friends. And lovely, we would like to share what we have for the rest of eternity（永恒）. But Julie，the mother of my host family，who then I stayed with，does not think so. Strangely as well, she could not give any reasons. The closed and squawk-proof double-glazing explains. Perhaps she prefers to sleep with her windows open but she always fails to do that, because those birds seemed to like staying up till next morning, wholly screaming for her on and on. And they decide to keep doing so every single night. Furthermore, every time she has to wash the marble floor of the gardens, Julie would look up around and swear to the droppings（鸟粪） shortly followed by a smile on her face towards me and said: “They are friendly to you.”But stop thinking that she hates the creatures and never plans to have a change. Because there is another side to her evident feelings towards the birds. We will do some shopping at weekends and every time there Julie doesnt forget to put a big bag of wild birdseed（鸟食） into her carriage which costs quite more than milks or juices for one week. I can see what it goes for since she refills the wild bird feeder（喂食器） before a big hurry to drive to work every morning and when working she knows what is happening back at home seagulls are enjoying the seed and leaving for next morning. Im leaving soon and not likely, I guess, though I hope not, to get back to see my friends here in England in the future. I said I would miss all friends living here including the seagulls. And when Julie was refilling the feeder again, she said: “Theyre nice but they are not my friends.”31. According to the first paragraph, we can know that _. A. they felt disappointed at not being weled by any local people as they landedB. they felt surprised to find seagulls there shortly after they landedC. they didnt like to be weled by the seagulls because they were noisy and stupidD. those birds were more energetic and friendly than the local people32. What does “squawk-proof double-glazing” underlined in Paragraph 3 refer to？A. a shotgun used for fowling（捕鸟）B. a cage used for keeping birdsC. birdseed used to feed the seagullsD. a window used to keep noise out33. Julie said the seagulls were nice but not her friends for the following reasons EXCEPT that _. A. the seagulls disturbed her every nightB. the seagulls dirtied her gardenC. the birdseeds were not cheapD. the seagulls were friendly to her guests34. Whats the best title for this passage？A. Birds Can WeleB. Birds in LondonC. Bite the Hand that Feed YouD. Feed What You Want to Kill35. The passage is most possibly taken from _. A. a magazine about birdsB. a book about LondonC. an advertisement attracting visitors to LondonD. a magazine about travelling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。Why do some people enjoy more health and happiness than others? It seems that they are able to realize their dreams rapidly. The good news is that you can be one of those people. 36 Now consider the following habits of exceptionally happy people from my book Find Your Happy.Make themselves available to success. Happy people are great goal setters. 37 This allows them to stand out in different areas of their life. Ask yourself if you are open for opportunities and setting big goals.Dont use the word luck. When you look at an exceptionally happy person, you may say, They are so lucky. But a conversation with them will reveal that luck is not in their vocabulary.

They understand that spending time arguing with others takes them away from what they care about most.
