From then on, I drove my parents crazy begging for a horse. When I was four, I had Mutism, in which children stop speaking in certain social situations. I went days, weeks, months without a sound at school. At most, I might quietly whisper to a friend. I suffered silently through school until I was ten when a psychologist had an idea. He asked me what I wanted more than anything else in the world. He explained I was going to be given an opportunity to work for that. And I was permitted to whisper the answer in my mothers ear, A horse. I was to get a pony, but I had to Live up to my end of the bargain. I had a chart of weekly tasks I had to accomplish. I had to answer the phone five times per week, something I had never done before. I had to say one word to my teacher at school and the list went on. For a child with Mutism, saying one word to someone can be like climbing Mount Qomolangma. I did everything that was asked of me and the day came, his name was Sequoia, whom I fell in love with immediately. When I was in Sequoias presence, I forgot all about my problems and felt strong and secure. I am a fully participating member of society these days. My horses and I made it through a masters degree. I may have made it otherwise, but Im not sure. I feel I owe my life to the horses and I try to give it back to them every day. They have given me the best gift I could ever imagine, my life.25. What was the situation like when the author was four? A. He didnt say a word at all. B. He learned how to ride a horse. C. He found his classmates unfriendly. D. He had difficulty in communicating.26. What can we infer about the author from Paragraph 3? A. He completed some tasks easily, B. He pushed himself extremely hard. C. He fell in love with Sequoia gradually. D. He found the psychologists idea ineffective.27. What is the authors purpose in writing the text? A. To share his unfortunate childhood. B. To give tips on how to cure Mutism.C. To show his deep gratefulness to horses. D.

Theyre not mad. Its all part of a money raising event called Red Nose Day. Founded in 1985 by two British comedians, the aim of the event is to raise money to fight poverty and injustice in the UK and Africa. Celebrities and public figures support the event by making appearances on comic TV shows. For example, UK Prime Minister David Cameron once appeared in a music video by One Direction, which the band produced for the event. Britons dont just raise money for charitable causes on one day a year, but they do it all year round. One way of doing so is by shopping in charity shops. These small shops sell clothes, books and household goods just like any other shop except that its all secondhand. There are nearly 10,000 charity shops in the UK. Their business model is simple: Anybody who has things they dont want anymore can donate them to a charity shop, where they are checked for damage, cleaned and priced. The money that is made by selling them is used for a charitable cause. The idea of buying used clothes may sound unpleasant, but for shoppers who have less spending money, it has been a welcome option. Now, shopping at charity shops is also becoming popular with young people looking for alternative fashion. “You can find very unique clothes for a very cheap price. It doesnt bother me that other people may have worn them. I simply wash them before I wear them.” said Anne Marie, a 19-year-old from the US. So next time you spot a charity shop, why not go inside? Who knows, you might find a lovely dress for just a few pounds. Even better, you can enjoy wearing it in the knowledge that your money helped a good cause.28. Why did Cameron appear in One Directions music video? A. To earn a living. B. To support the band. C. To help raising money. D. To entertain the audience.29. Where are the goods of charity shops from? A. Local bands. B. Peoples donation. C. British comedians. D. The UK government.30. Whats Anne Maries attitude to charity shops? A. Favorable. B. Particular. C. Doubtful. D. Disapproving.31 What is the text mainly about? A. Red Nose Day. B. British celebrities. C. Charity in Britain. D. Secondhand shops. D Lucy, whose skeleton(骨骼) was discovered in Ethiopia in 1974, died shortly after she fell out of a tree, according to a new study published Monday in the British journal Nature. For their research, Kappelman and Dr. Richard Ketcham used a CT scanner to create more than 35,000 slices of Lucys skeleton. Scientists named her Lucy from the Beatles song Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, which was played at the camp the night of her discovery. The following analysis of the slices showed sharp, clean breaks seen at the end of Lucys right humerus （肱骨） are similar to bone breaks seen in victims of falls. The researchers concluded that these and other breaks in her skeleton show that Lucy, who is believed to have stood about 3 feet 6 inches and weighed about 60 pounds, fell feet first and used her arms to support herself - but that the injury was too severe to have been survivable. The researchers estimate that Lucy was going about 35 miles an hour when she hit the ground after falling from a height of roughly 40 feet, according to the statement. That sounds plausible. But other scientists are doubtful. There are countless explanations for bone breaks, Dr, Donald C, Johanson, director of the Institute of Human Origins and one of the scientists who discovered Lucy, said, The suggestion that she fell out of a tree is largely a just-so story and therefore unprovable. Johanson said it was more likely that Lucys breaks occurred long after she died, saying that elephant bones appear to have the same kind of breaks, Its unlikely they fell out of a tree.” But the new research focused on a small number of breaks that are consistent with high-energy bone-to-bone influences and which differ from the sorts of breaks commonly seen in other collected bones. Kappelman responded in an email, These appear to have occurred at or near the time of death.32. What can we know about Lucy from Kappelman and Dr. Richard Ketchams research? A. She got her name from a song. B. She had more than 35,000 slices. C. She couldnt use her arms properly. D. She made an effort to save herself.33. What does the underlined word plausible in. Paragraph 6 probably mean? A. Reasonable. B. Creative. C. Surprising. D. Unbelievable.34. Which of the following would Johanson probably agree? A. Elephants are unlikely to die from falling. B. Lucy got breaks at or near the time of death. C. Other reasons for the breaks should be considered. D. Lucys bone breaks differ from other bone breaks.35. What conclusion can we draw from the passage? A. Lucy didnt die from falling out of a tree. B. The newly published study was meaningless.C. The argument on how Lucy died will continue. D. Scientists will find another way to solve the problem.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人空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Shoulder pain is common.
