阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A,B,C,和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
A drunken burglar in the Orrell Park area of Liverpool, ended up leaping out of a window after a 10-year-old girl asked him to prove he was a superhero.
The drunken thief who pretended he was Superman to stop a child raising the alarm has been caught after he leapt from the apartment building in his pants to make the girl convinced.
Theif Ethan Adamson, 25, told police that he had broken into a fifth-floor flat after a drinking session, believing it was empty.
But he was horrified when the owner’s 10-year-old daughter woke up while he was there.
From his hospital bed, the thief told reporters, “To keep her quiet, I told her I was really Superman and I’d soon be flying off back to my secret headquarters.”
“She called my bluff (向…摊牌) and told me, ‘If you’re Superman, show me you can fly or I’ll scream’.
“I had no choice so I stripped to my pants to look more like a superhero and went to the window. I saw another roof below and I thought I could make it but it turned out to be a lot further down than thought. I know it doesn’t make sense but it did to me when I was drunk.”
Police later found him on the roof in just his yellow pants, covered in cuts and bruises after a baffled neighbor heard his cries of pain.
He now faces seven years behind bars for burglary.
Police spokesman Frank Armado said, “ He was in quite a serious state and couldn’t move until we got up there using ladders. He was treated for his injuries and we got him some fresh clothes, before taking him to hospital where he is being kept under guard until he is well enough to be arrested.”
21. What does the underlined part in the passage mean?
A. I could land safely on the roof.
B. I could make the girl trust me.
C. I could prove I was a superhero.
D. I could make a successful escape.
22. What’s the right order of the event?
a. Ethan Adamson told reporters of the burglary.
b. The 10-year-old girl called Ethan Adamson’s bluff.
c. Ethan Adamson attended a drinking session.
d. Ethan Adamson leapt out of a window.
A. cabd B. dbca C. cbda D.dcab
23. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?
A. To report on a joking burglary
B. To call our attention to the burglary.
C. To explain how the burglar was caught.
D. To look back on an adventure story.
B
You know how wonderful you are, and you know that others know how wonderful you are, but what do you do when admiration crosses over the line into jealousy(嫉妒)? For most teens there will come a day when you realize that one of your friends is jealous and that this jealousy is hurting your friendship. When this happens it can seem like there is nothing that you can do, but the good news is that there is. Don’t let jealousy spoil your relationships. Deal with it confidently and you might be back to normal much sooner than you think.
It can be hard to walk up to a friend and ask them what the problem is, but if you want to save your friendship you’ll have to do just that. Don’t approach them and ask why they are jealous of you unless of course you want to appear totally conceited (逞能), just take some time alone with them and let them know that you’ve been feeling like there’s been something coming between you. If they refuse to respond, then use the opportunity to explain how you have been feeling. Chances are that something you say will strike a nerve and your friend will open up as well.
When you figure out what is annoying your friend, ask him or her what (s)he thinks would make the situation better. If, for example, (s)he says that (s)he feels like (s)he doesn’t get to spend any time with you because of your being off with your new friends from the swim team then maybe you could invite her along the next time or block off one day a week for just the two of you. Remember, though, that whatever solution you decide on should be a compromise. Don’t limit your own talents or opportunities simply because your friend is unhappy. Try instead to include him or her in your new life and see how that works out.
Even the best of friendships can be ruined by jealousy. This destructive emotion is rarely productive and can turn best friends into worst enemies. Before taking extreme action, chat with your jealous friend to see if the two of you can work out a compromise. If you can’t, be prepared to know exactly how far you will go to keep your friend and how far you won’t.
24. According to the author, the jealousy emotion is________.
A. normal B. productive C. destructive D. extreme
25. What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 2?
A. How to solve the problem of jealousy.
B. Why we need to solve the problem of jealousy.
C. How to explain your jealousy to your friends.
D. Why it is hard to deal with the problem of jealousy.
26. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A. There’s always a solution to solve the problem of jealousy.
B. Jealousy can turn best friends into worst enemies.
C. You may lose a friend to keep your own gifts, chances or self development.
D. You should go a long way with your friend to work out a solution
27. This passage is mainly intended for________.
A. female readers
B. students
C. teenagers
D. best friends
C
The creative projects of World Food Program (WFP) focused on preventing hunger from taking hold in the future and breaking the cycle of hunger. Here are some of the ways in which we work to prevent hunger in the future:
School Meals
As well as directly addressing hunger, School Meals projects encourage families to keep their children in school and help them build better futures. If children aren’t hungry they will concentrate on their lessons. With a solid education growing children have a better chance of finding their own way out of hunger. These projects benefit girls especially. For more information: www.wfp.org/schools meals.
Food for Assets（有用的人）
WFP’s Food for Assets projects provide the hungry with food to lay the foundation for a better tomorrow. When poor farmers no longer have to worry about the next meal, they have the time and energy to build irrigation（灌溉） systems that can increase production. Similarly, Food for Training projects allow the poor to devote time to learning skills that will sustain（维持） them economically in the future. For more information: www.wfp.org/food-assets.
HIV/AIDS
WFP uses its food rations(配给) to reduce the blow of HIV and AIDS. The agency distributes its rations to people living with HIV and AIDS, so they can keep providing for their families for longer and have time to transfer vital knowledge and skills to the growing number of AIDS children--the next generation of food providers in developing countries. For more information: www.wfp.org/hiv-aids.
Purchase for Progress
WFP buys large amounts of food in developing countries. It has this purchasing power and uses it to help poor farmers contact reliable markets where they can get competitive prices for their produce. With secure markets, farmers will be encouraged to produce more and innovate(创新).The knock-on effect is producing more food for everyone. For more information: www.wfp.ofp/purchase-progress.
28. The text is written with the purpose of ____.
A. seeking solutions to some hot issues B. introducing some of WFP’s projects
C. raising money for the people in need D. calling readers’ attention to the poor
29. The farmers who want to receive some training should visit_____.
A.www.wfp.org/hiv-aids B.www.wfp.org/food-asset
C.www.wfp.org/purchase-progress D.www.wfp.org/school-meals
30. AIDS children can benefit from food rations in that_____.
A. they no longer go hungry
B. they can take care of their parents
C. they don’t have to worry about food
D. they can learn more skills from their parents
31. By buying large amounts of food in developing countries, WFP aims to ____.
A. help farmers to increase their income
B. encourage farmers to produce more food
C. introduce new ways of farming to farmers
D. motive farmers to plant different kind of crops.
D
Losing weight comes with a lot of health benefits—including making your brain sharper.
There have been few studies of overweight and cognitive functioning, (认知功能) possibly because it is generally believed that it is not a primary risk cause for poor cognitive performance. Yet, it turns out that overweight may damage cognitive functions such as memory and attention. Losing weight, therefore, may help improve these mental functions, according to a new research led by John Gunstad, assistant professor of psychology at Kent State University.
Growing evidence suggests that being fat is linked to cognitive deficits (缺陷). So Gunstad and his team guessed that losing weight might improve mental function. For their study, they measured memory and attention in a group of 150 overweight participants, some of whom had some kind of operation for weight loss and some did not. All of the volunteers completed mental skills tests to assess their abilities of memory and attention at the beginning of the study, and again 12 weeks later. To begin with, about 24% of the patients showed damaged learning and 23% showed signs of poor memory when tested. At the end of the study, those who had lost weight after operation improved their scores into the average or above average range for cognitive functions. Scores for the volunteers who didn’t lose weight dropped even further.
The study helped Gunstad to find out whether losing weight had any effect on mental function. Now that he’s seen the positive effect that weight loss can have on memory and attention, he says he will next study those who choose to lose weight by the traditional way—eating healthier and getting more active. He expects that losing weight in this way will have a similarly positive effect on the brain. “If we can improve the condition with operations, then we can probably produce the same change with behavioral weight loss as well,” he says.
32. There is less research on overweight and cognitive functions because researchers _____.
A. believe overweight only affects our body B. have focused on ways to sharpen people’s mind C. do not consider overweight a main cause for low cognitive ability D. are clear about the relation between weight and mental functions 33. The result of Gunstad’s study shows that ______.
A. losing weight has little effect on people’s memory B. losing weight can improve people’s mental functions C. overweight people are likely to have psychology problems D. overweight people’s abilities of concentration differ greatly 34. What is Gunstad planning to prove next in his research?
A. Slim people are smarter than overweight people. B. Healthy diet is better than exercise in losing weight. C. Traditional ways of losing weight are better than operation. D. Overweight people will get smarter by taking more exercise. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Body Weight and Health B. Losing Weight by Operation C. Ways to Improve Mental Functions D. Losing Weight to Sharpen Your Mind

Many people are stuck in a life they don’t want, held in place by everything from financial restrictions to societal pressures. If you are looking to pursue your dreams, it can be discouraging to change everything at once. __36__
Write down your goals to get them out of your head and into reality. Be honest with yourself about what you want, no matter how impossible it seems and ignore what you “should” do based on the views of your friends, family or society. __37__ Don’t leave anything out, no matter how small or silly it sounds. Look at the themes of your list to get an idea of what your dream life will look like.
__38__ Choose one that is relatively easy to accomplish, one that is doable but will require work and one that seems impossible based on your current circumstances and lifestyle. List the steps you will need to take to get to each goal, getting down to the little details.
__39__ Each time you complete one of the steps, cross it off so you can celebrate the process in addition to the end result. When you achieve the goal, find a way to continue integrating(使成为一体) it into your life.
Figure out how you can work your second two goals into your life. __40_. If your big dream is to quit your job and travel the world, start a savings account that is dedicated to travel money and set aside a small amount each week for three years. Plan your steps like this and they will be doable and fit smoothly into your life.
Seek support from your friends and family.
You will need to have courage to make changes
Identify the top three things that will get you closer to your dream life.
Start with your smallest goal and work through the steps until you achieve it.
Choose a deadline for each goal, whether it is one year down the road or five.
List the things you want to accomplish in your life, both personal and professional.
Instead, make small, gradual changes to prepare the way to a dream life to make the process easier.

I knew my method was against what the team wanted, 68 I decided to stick to what I thought would benefit the team, instead of sitting and doing 69 because of the feeling of deep regret I had about the previous wrong 70 (answer).

What I Consider Important in Life
There is no doubt that different people have different goals in their life, and they may have various answers to this question. My opinion is that the most important thing in my life is health.
First of all, life is short for everyone. Without good health, we won’t have enough time to accomplish what we plan to do. We are entering a brand new century, blessed with new opportunities and faced with challenges. Without a healthy body, how can we catch up with the rapidly changing world? Meanwhile, when we have got wealth and fame but without a healthy body, we will suffer from pains caused by certain illnesses all day long. So wealth means nothing in this case. Beyond any doubt, health is more important than wealth.
To conclude, I personally believe a healthy life is the source of happiness. So lets join hands to make our life healthier, both in body and in mind.
