dry四、阅读理解(共13小题;每小题1分，共13分)阅读下面短文，从各题a、b、c、d四个选项中选出最佳答案。awhen i was a boy, i used to love walking in the woods around my home. my mum warned me several times never to travel so far that i would lose sight of the house. being a typical boy, however, i soon found myself hiking further and further away, testing just how far i could go into the woods without getting lost. after losing my way once for two hours, though, i decided that i had better leave a trail the next time i went for a walk.the very next day i decided to try it. i walked into the woods until the house was out of sight. then i broke a small branch on a young tree to mark my place. i wandered further in and broke another limb and then another. in a few spots where there were no limbs small enough, i snapped the heads off the low plants that were growing where the sunlight broke through the trees. after a while i finally got tired and decided to head back. turning around i easily found my tracks, but instead of being proud i felt sad. i could see the trail of destruction i had left in the woods going on and on. looking at the broken limbs and dead flowers i wondered if god was disappointed in me and i vowed never to do that again. instead, i started to cherish my times alone in the woods with nature. id sit by the streams and listen to them sing. id watch the birds and squirrels. id bend down to smell the flowers. and i even buried an acorn or two hoping that one day an oak might grow.there is an old native american saying that goes we will be known forever by the tracks we leave. as i have grown older and wiser, i have done my best to never leave a trail of destruction in my life as i did in the woods that day. i have instead tried to leave tracks of love, kindness, goodness, and compassion and i have strived to show others that they can do the same. may you always leave tracks of joy as you follow your own trail of love.41. when the boy headed back from the woods, he felt sad because _. a. he lost his way in the woods b. he could find his tracks so easily c. he left many trails of destruction d. god was very disappointed in him42. the boy took off some branches to _.a. protect himself b. make his way out c. see the sun clearlyd. leave some marks43. what does the underlined word cherish in paragraph 2 mean? a. find b. value c. waste d. spend44. the author wrote the passage to _. a. call on us to leave tracks of virtues in life b. inform us that we shouldnt destroy trees c. tell us how to avoid getting lost in the woods d. show us ways to get back home in the forestbdr. michael prager, a leading botox expert, said that a growing number of women are developing something called “computer face”. he also mentioned that professionals who worked long hours in front of a screen were ending up with saggy jowls（颚骨）,“turkey neck” and deep-set wrinkles on their forehead and around their eyes. the botox expert said that, of all his clients, office workers were most likely to show premature （过早的）signs of aging. “ if you are one of the unfortunate people who frown（皱眉）while you are concentrating on the screen then, over time, you will inevitably end up with frown lines. dr. prager said. “what is perhaps more surprising is the number of women with saggy jowls because they are sitting in one position for so long. if you spend most of the time looking down then the neck muscles shorten and go saggy, eventually giving you a second neck.” dr. prager, who has a practice near harley street in london, said he encourages his clients to put a mirror next to their computer so they can see if they are frowning at the screen. “when people are stressed or thinking hard about something, then they will often put on a grumpy（脾气暴躁的）face without even knowing what they are doing. when my clients put a mirror next to their desk, they are often shocked by the angry, frowning face which stares back at them.” he said, “the women i am seeing at the moment have only been using computers at work for the last decade or so. but women in their 20s have grown up with them and use them for every single task. i think the problem is going to become much, much worse. in another ten years, they could be looking quite awful.” dr. prager said there were several simple steps which could avoid “computer face” such as regular screen breaks and stretching the neck muscles. and, of course, there was always botox. he said that , after a couple of sessions of botox, the habit of “grumpy face” could be broken.45. in what way do women develop a “computer face”? a. frowning every now and then b. concentrating on computers frequently c. working for too long in front of a screen d. sitting in the same place for along time46. according to the passage, which of the following are signs of aging? a. saggy jowls and short necks b. turkey neck and frown lines c. deep-set wrinkles and angry faces d. second neck and stressed muscles47. why does dr. prager suggest a mirror for his clients? a. to be aware of their “computer face” b. to see if they have got a second neck c. to make sure their make-up is perfect d. to find more signs of premature aging48. from the last 2 paragraphs, we can know that_ a. “computer face” is avoidable b. we should give up using computers c. we should break the habit of “grumpy face” d. the younger generation is worse at computerschigh school students and families are increasingly questioning the value of higher education. is investing(投资) in a college or university education still worth it? the short answer is “yes.” there is no doubt that college pays off financially. a wide range of statistics shows that economic advantage of a four-year college education. over a lifetime, students who graduate from college can expect to make about 60% more than those who do not. college graduates also tend to lead more active lives. they vote more often, volunteer more often and are more likely to own a home. education encourages people to engage as citizens and live healthier and longer lives.but what about the benefits of college that are more difficult to measure? they are even more significant and add up to a lot of value over the course of a lifetime.college takes students to places theyve never been before. college is a passport to different places, different times, and different ways of thinking. it gives students a chance to understand themselves differently, seeing how their lives are both like and unlike those who lived in other ages and other lands.college introduces students to people theyve never met before. one of the most important ways in which students learn, at college and universities everywhere, is by interacting with people who are different from themselves both inside and outside of the classroom.college teaches students the importance of slowing down. no one denies（否认） the value of speed, but “thinking” is a word that is too often forgotten. college teaches students to slow down, to transform information to insight and knowing to understanding. it develops critical engagement, enlightened skepticism, and an endless desire to self-educate, preparing students for a lifetime of considering information and growing in knowledge and in wisdom.in these ways and in so many others, college helps students see themselves differently, giving them the room and license to imagine new possibilities. yes, it opens opportunities reflected in earning and employment statistics. but, perhaps even more valuable, it opens minds and worlds in ways that cannot be measured. the value of higher education is embodied（体现）by people who dream bigger and achieve more, who create their own futures and shape their own fate.49. according to the passage, a more important benefit of higher education is that_ a. the benefits are hard to measure b. graduates can be healthier c. they get economic reward d. graduates can know more places50. what is the attitude of the author towards higher education?a. doubtful b. indifferent c. positive d. negative51. according to the passage, it is good to slow down because we can_a. have less stress b. transform informationc. work more efficiently d. have time to think and reflect52. the main purpose of the passage is to_a. compare and evaluate b. argue and discussc. examine and assess d. inform and explain53. which is the best title for the passage?a. the reason for getting educationb. better education ensures better lifec. the way of making higher education worthyd. college helps students dream of more than a
