In a hurry to dive into the cool water, he ran out of the back door, leaving behind shoes, socks and shirt as he went.He flew into the water, not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake, an alligator(短吻鳄) was getting close. The mother in the house was looking out of the window and saw the two as they got closer and closer together. In great fear, she ran toward the water, yelling to her son as loudly as she could. Hearing her voice, the little boy noticed the danger and made a Uturn to swim to his mother. It was too late. Just as he reached her, the alligator reached him. From the dock, the mother grabbed her little boy by the arms just as the alligator snatched(抓住) his legs. That began an unbelievable tug-of-war(拔河比赛) between the two. The alligator was much stronger than the mother, but the mother was much too passionate to let go. A farmer happened to drive by, heard their screams, rushed from his truck, took aim and shot the alligator.Surprisingly, after weeks and weeks in the hospital, the little boy survived. His legs were extremely scarred by the terrible attack of the animal. And on his arms were deep scratches where his mothers fingernails dug into his flesh in her effort to hang on to the son she loved.The newspaper reporter, who interviewed the boy after the trauma(外伤), asked if he would show him his scars. The boy lifted the pant legs. And then, with obvious pride, he said to the reporter, “Look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my mum wouldnt let go.”You and I can agree with that little boy. We have scars, too. Not from an alligator, but the scars of a painful past. Some of those scars are unsightly and have caused us deep regret. But, some wounds are my friends because we have refused to let go.24. The underlined part “the two” in the second paragraph refers to .A. the mother and the sonB. the son and the alligatorC. the driver and the alligatorD. the alligator and the mother25. From the passage we can infer .A. The mother was unwilling to let the alligator go.B. The son was proud of his scars on his arms .C. The mother was actually stronger than the alligator.D. The son was ashamed of his scars on his legs.26. The underlined word “unsightly” in the last paragraph can be replaced by . A. painfulB. uglyC. strangeD. unbelievable27. According to the last paragraph, what is the writers real meaning?A. To forget the past is to betray.B. We should forget the scars.C. We should learn to let go sometimes.D. Wounds are different from scarPassage CThe sharing economy , represented by panies like Airbnb or Uber, is the latest fashion craze. But many supporters have overlooked the reality that this new business model is largely based on escaping regulations and breaking the law. Airbnb is an Internet-based service that allows people to rent out spare rooms to strangers for short stays. Uber is an Internet taxi service that allows thousands of people to answer ride requests with their own cars. There are hundreds of other such services. The good thing about the sharing economy is that it promotes the use of underused resources. Millions of people have houses or apartments with empty rooms, and Airbnb allows them to profit from these rooms while allowing guests a place to stay at prices that are often far less than those charged by hotels. Uber offers prices that are petitive with standard taxi prices and the drivers are often much quicker and more trustworthy. But the downside of the sharing economy has gotten much less attention. Most cities and states both tax and regulate hotels, and the tourists who stay in hotels are usually an important source of tax ine. But many of Airbnb customers are not paying the taxes required under the law. Airbnb can also raise issue of safety for its customers and trouble for hosts neighbors. Hotels are regularly inspected to ensure that they are not fire traps and that they dont form other risks to visitors. Airbnbs rooms face no such inspections.Since Airbnb is allowing people to escape taxes and regulations, the pany is simply promoting thefts. Others in the economy will lose by bearing an additional tax burden or being forced to live next to an apartment unit with a never-ending series of noisy visitors.The same story may apply to Uber. Uber is currently in dispute over whether its cars meet the safety and insurance requirement imposed on standard taxis. Also, if Uber and related services flood the market, they could harm all taxi drivers ability to earn a minimum wage.This downside of the sharing economy needs to be taken seriously, but that doesnt mean the current structure tax and regulatory structure are perfect.28. What s the positive thing about the sharing economy?A. It is a global trend. B.It draws on spare resources. C. It is beyond regulations.D. It brings in modest profits.29. What is the problem with Airbnbs customers according to the passage?A. They are not allowed to escape taxes. B. They are likely to mit thefts.C. They are not regularly inspected D. They can be noisy to hosts neighbors.30. What is the argument over Uber according to the passage?A. Whether it provides reliable services.B.Whether it grantees customers safety. C. Whether it lowers customers expenses.D. Whether it can pete with standard taxis.31. What will be talked about in the following paragraphs?A. Existing regulations and laws. B. The downside of Airbnb and Uber.C. Further development of Airbnb and Uber. D. Necessary improvements on current laws.Passage DWind is the movement of air from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure. In fact, wind exists because the sun unevenly heats the surface of the earth. As hot air rises, cool air moves in to fill the space. As long as the sun shines, the wind will blow. And as long as the wind blows, people will use it to power their lives. Ancient people used sails to catch the wind and explore the world. Farmers once used windmills to grind（磨） their grains and pump water. Today, more and more people are using turbines（涡轮机) to make electricity from the breeze. Over the past ten years, wind turbine use has increased by more than 25 percent a year. Still, it only provides small part of the worlds energy. The biggest wind turbines make enough electricity to supply about 600 US homes. Wind farms have tens and sometimes hundreds of the turbines lined up together in particularly windy places. Smaller turbines in a backyard can produce enough electricity for a single home or small business. Wind is a clean source of renewable energy that produces no air or water pollution. And since the wind is free, costs are nearly zero once a turbine is set up. Technology advances are making turbines cheaper, and many governments offer much help to get greater wind-energy development. Germany has the most installed wind energy capacity, followed by Spain., the United States, India, and Denmark. Development is also fast growing in France and China. Industry experts said that if this speed of growth continues, by 2050 the answer to once third of the worlds electricity needs will be found blowing in the wind. 32. The underlined word “unevenly” in Paragraph 1 probably means _.A. in no equal wayB. in the same way C. in various way D. in no direct way33. In old days people can do many things by wind power EXCEPT _.A. sailing the boats. B.grinding the grains C. pumping water D. making electricity for homes34. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. The movement of air is caused by wind.B. There is a small turbine in each US home.C. It costs very little to use wind turbines to make electricityD. France has used the most wind energy in the world35. Which can be the best title for the passage?A. How is wind formed？B.The development of wind powerC.Ways to use wind powerD.Facts about wind power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。Here are five tips for being a good friendListen more than you speakNext time you ask a question, wait for the answerLet the person tell the full story, and explain his plete answer 36 Keep your promisesTheres nothing worse than the type of friend who leaves you hangingWhether its a friend get-together or meeting at the mall, they always manage to break their promises and leave you feeling upset and disappointed This is the reason why an important part of strong friendships is the ability to trust each other 37 Therefore, next time you make a promise, keep itGive advice, but only when it is asked forBy offering advice when its not asked for, youre ignoring the needs of your friend 38 Otherwise, dont give itBe with them, hug them and make them breakfast in bed, but keep your wisdom to yourself and save it for another timeLet your friend have other friends, tooIf your best friend picks another friend over you, try to be friends with their friends tooMaybe you guys can be a group of friends!
