24、Although I had left school against the advice of my teacher, I had, without telling anyone, tried to continue my studies in literature at evening classes. It was a tiresome walk from one end of the city to another and to sit among adults was uninteresting. I was the youngest in the class, so the friendship I knew at school was absent, I put up with it for a short period. It was too long a walk on cold winter’s nights and it was hard to put my heart into Shakespeare with wet shoes and trousers. So I continued reading books and started writing poetry at home.

By chance, I won some prizes and rewards for literature. A young woman from a TV company came to the college one day. She wanted to make a short film about me, to which I said, “No, I couldn’t do that.” Not that I had any real excuse, I was just frightened. In the end she advised me that I should do it the following day.

So I did. They made a short film of me reading one of my poems and I became more interested in literature than ever. I wondered what I should do after this, and decided some weeks later that I could not imagine myself spending the rest of my days dealing with machines. So one evening, I hesitatingly（支吾其词地） told my parents that I wanted to return to school. They wanted to know if I was sure, if I knew what it meant and whether I realized that if I gave up my job training, it would be very difficult to get a good job. But nothing could stop me, and they asked about the matter on future.

【1】Which of the following has most probably been discussed in the paragraphs above this text?

A. The writer’s unhappy childhood.

B. The poor teaching quality of the writer’s school.

D. Whether it was worth leaving school for job training.

【2】The writer did NOT feel comfortable at the evening school because __________.

A. he found it difficult to make friends with his classmates

B. he had to walk a long distance to the evening school

C. he could not put his heart into reading books after he was caught in the rain

D. all of the above

【3】 After his success, he __________.

A. decided to get a good job

B. decided to continue his studies in literature at the evening school

C. decided to return to the school he once left

D. began to feel very important and proud

25、Different weather makes people feel different. It influences(影响) health, intelligence(智力) and feelings.

In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle-West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.

The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, IQ of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% lower. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year(July and August).

Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18℃, people become stronger.

Low air pressure(气压) may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days. People feel best at a temperature of about 18℃.

Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful or unhappy today? It may be the weather’s problem.

【1】____________ can cause problems on health.

A. Hot and wet weather B. A strong wind

C. Warm weather   D. Low air

【2】A report shows that people may have more intelligence when __________ comes.

A. rain B. a strong wind

26、When I was in the sixth grade, I became a big K-pop (Korean pop) fan. Almost half the students at my middle school were Korean and almost all of them listened to Korean music, especially K-pop. I had never been interested in it. It sounded too strange to me, but all changed in the sixth grade when the huge hit Gee came out. All my friends were singing the chorus and imitating the dance. Gee fever sucked me into K-pop. It became my life. I listened to K-pop non-stop and filled my iPod with it. In a month, I had memorized the names of countless members of boy and girl bands and stuck pictures of my singer ＂boyfriends＂ on my walls. I would ditch my weekend art and math classes and go to concerts with my friends. This would always result in my mom shouting that I was wasting my life. My mom thought K-pop was trash and wanted me to like classical music as she did. But classical music made me sleepy.

Every day during middle school I went to a K-pop gossip and news site called allkpop.com. On this site I learned that I could audition(试音) to become a singer in a K-pop band. The shining clothes, thousands of screaming fans and hearing them chant my name seemed much more exciting than being a middle school student. Becoming a K-pop star was all I wanted.

I started watching the audition videos of current stars and reading blog posts from people who had auditioned. They explained much about the audition. This made me want to audition even more. After watching those videos, I saw that most of the current stars weren’t that amazing in their auditions and that each singer had improved so much through training. I had never had vocal lessons(声乐课) and didn’t think of myself as a good singer. “But if they could do it, I could do that too,” I thought.

【1】What caused the author to fall in love with K-pop?

A. Her Korean origin.   B. A new style of dance.

C. Her friends’ influence.   D. The popularity of Gee.

【2】The underlined word ＂ditch＂ in Paragraph 1 probably means ＂________＂.

A. forget   B. attend   C. ignore   D. hate

【3】What do we know about the author’s mother?

A. She has no interest in music.   B. She has a low opinion of K-pop.

C. She doesn’t care about her daughter.   D. She prefers K-pop to classical music.

【4】After visiting allkpop.com, the author ________.

A. dreamed of becoming a pop singer   B. called the manager of the news site

C. contacted people who had auditioned   D. knew she would never become a singer

27、   Old age may not sound exciting. But recent findings offer good news for older people and for people who worried about getting older.

Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of 50. In fact, they said, by the age of 85 , people are happier with their life than they were when they were 18 years old.

The findings came from a survey of more than 340 ,000 adults in the US. The Gallup Organization questioned them by telephone in 2008. At that time, the people were between the ages of 18 and 85.

The researchers asked questions about emotions (情绪) like happiness, sadness and worry.

They also asked about mental (精神) or emotional stress.

Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of 22 and 25.

The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties. Happiness was highest among the adults who are in their seventies and eighties.

The study also showed that men and women have similar emotional things as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.

The findings appeared in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Researchers said they didn't know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.

【1】What kind of people has the highest stress levels ?

A．Adults between the ages of 22 and 25.

B．Those in their seventies and eighties.

C．People who reached their fifties.

D．People who were between the ages of 18 and 85.

【2】Which of the following is NOT true ?

A．Old people can control their moods better.

B．Men and women have similar emotional things as they grow older.

C．Women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.

D．Researchers know exactly why happiness increases as people get older.

【3】Which of the following is the best title for this passage?

A．The Older, the Happier

B．Why Elder People Feel Happier than Young People

C．Different Emotions between Men and Women

D．What Makes the Elder Happy

28、

China’s long history has left us with many valuable traditional Chinese paintings. While some of them were 【1】 [lɔst] during wars, many more survived (幸存) thousands of years and are now protected in museums throughout China and around the 【2】 [wɜ:ld]. Five Oxen is one of these great paintings.

Five Oxen was painted 【3】 Han Huang, a famous painter in Tang Dynasty. The painting is of great importance because it is the 【4】 (early) extant (现存的) paper painting in China. It is also one of the top 10 great works in China’s 【5】 [ɑːt] history. Most ancient Chinese paintings are about 【6】 (flower), birds, humans and nature, but Han’s painting of Five Oxen is an exceptio (例外).

Five Oxen is 139.8 cm long and 20.8 cm 【7】. The oxen are in a line, each walking or standing in different ways: the first one on the left is looking forward, the 【8】 one looking back, the third one is painted full-frontal, the fourth looking up and the fifth eating grass. The eyes of the oxen are painted so 【9】 (careful) that they bring the animals to life.

The painting changed hands many times during its long history. It disappeared in 1900 and was 【10】 (bring) back to China at a high cost. Now it is housed in the Palace Museum in Beijing.
