He d also got a new job. With all that happened, she d forgotten to leave the new address. “But Ive been saving,” she said. “Heres $20 toward the bill. “That s all right,” Ben replied. “Its been paid.”“Paid!” she exclaimed （惊叫）. “What do you mean? Who paid it?”“I did,” Ben said, “It went to the children as a Christmas present!”25Ben was upset one morning because _. Ahe was going to lose his job Bhe lost $ 79 on the way of the delivery Che had to buy a present for the children Da customer left without paying the bill 26The author helped Ben by offering him _. Aa suggestion to cheer him up Bthe woman s new address Csome money to cover the loss Da Christmas present27We can probably infer from the passage that the woman _. Acheated to raise her children Bmoved to escape paying the billCwanted to give her children a Christmas gift Dwas a person with honesty CHave you ever wondered?1.Why do airplanes take longer to fly west than east?It can take five hours to go west-east from New York(NY) to London but seven hours to travel east-west from London to NY. The reason for the difference is an atmospheric phenomenon known as the jet(喷射) stream. The jet stream is a very high altitude wind which always blows from the west to the east across the Atlantic. The planes moving at a constant air speed thus go faster in the west-east direction when they are moving with the wind than in the opposite direction.2.What would happen if the gravity（地心引力） on Earth was suddenly turned off?Supposing we could magically turn off gravity. Would buildings and other structures(筑物) float away? What happened would depend on how strongly the things were attached to the Earth. The Earth is moving at quite a speed, moving at over a thousand miles per hour. If you turn something around your head on a string（细绳）, it goes around in a circle until you let go of the string. Then it flies off in a straight line. Switching off gravity would be like letting go of the string. Things not attached to the Earth would fly off in a straight line. People in buildings would suddenly shoot upwards at a great speed until they hit the ceiling. Most things outside would fly off into space.28. What information can we get from the first passage?A. Planes go slower when they are moving with the wind B. It is jet stream that affects how fast airplanes fly C. It takes more time to fly from NY to London than from London to NYD. The jet stream always blows from the east to the west across the Atlantic29. The word“shoot”underlined in the 2nd passage probably means “ ”A. send for B. come up C. move quickly D. grow quickly30. It can be inferred that without gravity .A. buildings and other structures would float awayB. something around your head would not fly awayC. trees and buildings would not easily fly off D. everything outside buildings would fly off into space31. Where can we most probably read the text?A. In a students book B. In a short storyC. In a travel magazine D. In a research paperDI am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my work stand in the way of being a good parent.I no longer consider myself the center of the world. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows(誓约) mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.So heres what I wanted to tell you today: Get a life, a real life, not a desire of the next promotion(提升), the bigger paycheck, the larger house.Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure(空闲), it is action. Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted. It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, our minutes. It is so easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all. I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned. By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do it you will live it with joy and passion as it ought to be lived.32The best title of this passage probably is _. ALove your friends BDont waste time CLive a real lifeDBe a good mother and wife33How did the author form her view of life? AThrough working and social experience. BBy learning from her friends.CFrom her children and husbandDThrough an unlucky experience.34By the underlined sentence It is so easy to exist instead of to live in the fifth paragraph, the author really means that people tend to_.Awork rather than enjoy lifeBmake a living rather than live a real life Cwaste a lot in lifeDforget the most important lessons in life 35Whats the authors attitude toward work? ADo it well to serve others.BEarn enough money to make life better.CDont let it affect your real lifeDTry your best to get higher position and pay.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。Everybody gets stressed from time to time. 36 .
