THE MENTALIST, GERRY MCCAMBRIDGEBAmy Pankratz spent a few nights in the hospital with her daughter, Isabella, who caught a bad flu. “Lying in bed beside Isabella, I could hear the cries of children in pain, ”says Amy. “It completely broke my heart. ”When Isabella was getting well and could leave her room, she wore her prized possessiona “superhero cape(短斗篷)”Amy had sewn to encourage herand walked into the hallway. The pink cape was an instant hit with the other young patients, who were doing exercise around the nursing station. “Then, all the kids were taking turns wearing the cape, giggling, ”Amy says. “These were some of the same children I had heard crying the night before, and here they were playing and having funkids just being kids! ”From that moment on, Amy began making Comfort Capes for little ones battling with serious illnesses. “I felt God presenting an opportunity, ”she says. “I hoped Comfort Capes can help these kids feel brave, to lift some of the fear away. ”Since then, Amy has made and donated more than 5, 000 capes in the United States. Amy usually pays for materials herself, although she accepts donations. The capes she makes for kids in treatment are different from those her own children have. Before Amy starts to sew she learns what image or character the little boy or girl connects with. “ I choose the pattern, color and theme specially for each child,” explains Amy. When she is not sewing, Amy is raising awareness of childhood cancers and looking into ways to get Comfort Capes to more kids who need them, “ If a cape can help a child, even only for a moment, forget his illness, its worth the time spent sewing,” she says.24. What made Amy feel sad when she was staying with her daughter in the hospital? A.Her daughters serious illness. B.The cries of children in pain. C.The tiredness from sewing the cape. D.The illness of children in her daughters room.25. What purpose did Amy have when she began making Comfort Capes for sick children? A.To make them feel warm. B.To find friends for her daughter. C.To make them happy and fearless. D.To raise the awareness of childrens illness.26. According to the passage, we can get that the authors attitude toward Amys behaviour is. A.indifferentB. neutralC. negative D. supportive27. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? A.Turning Sick Kids into SuperheroesB. How to Treat the Sick Children C. A strong Mom Who Helps OthersD. Amy: a Considerate WomanCMany people in high school cannot wait to go to college and leave their hometown behind. Questions arise, though, when it comes to all of the decisions involved in choosing a college.One of the first considerations may be finance. State and public colleges are often the least expensive. Often, though, the better colleges are private and more expensive. It is sad when gifted students cannot attend a college of their choice just for financial reasons.Another major factor is location. Whether the college is in a small town or large city can have a major impact on its activities. A water lover probably will be more comfortable spending four years near an ocean or a lake. Those who cannot tolerate heat will probably be more comfortable at a northern college. Distance from home may also come into consideration. If family is a top priority, that person should stay close to home; on the other hand, if independence is desired, a campus farther from home would be more appropriate.School size also plays a major role in the decision process. If you want to get to know your teachers, a small college is suitable. For those of you who consider yourself a “ people person” and want a wide range of activities, a large college is more fitting. Your area of interest is another factor to consider in the decision-making process if you want to get the most from your education. The whole point of college is to learn what is of interest to you. Crucially(至关重要地), one must take into consideration the colleges by which you can realistically be accepted. An Ivy League school for an average student would probably not be a good match. Similarly, an average school for an above-average student would not work well. The college should provide enough of a challenge for the student to work hard. Although there may not be the perfect college out there, there probably will be one that is close. Those who cannot find a suitable college are probably not looking hard enough.28. When it comes to going to college the author thinks. A. finance may affect students choice B. students are unwilling to leave their home C. students will become homesick D. students have to do part-time job to pay the fees29. What is the main idea of the third paragraph? A. Students can be independent at college. B.A long distance will make students upset. C. The location of the college is a main factor. D. The climate must be taken into consideration. 30. What does the underlined part “ people person” in the passage mean? A. person of great capacity. B. A very particular person. C. A very sociable person.D. A person of great importance. 31.Which is the most important factor when choosing a college? A. The location of a college.B. The examination result. C. School size.D. The coming challenges.D That Monday morning feeling could be a crushing pain in the chest which leaves you sweating and gasping for breath. Recent research from Germany and Italy shows that heart attacks are more common on Monday mornings and doctors blame the stress of returning to work after the weekend break. The risk of having a heart attack on any given day should be one in seven, but a six-year study helped by researchers at the Free University of Berlin of more than 2,600 Germans showed that the average person had a 20 percent higher chance of having a heart attack on a Monday than on any other day. Working Germans are particularly not protected against attack, with a 33 percent higher risk at the beginning of the working week. Non-workers, by comparison, appear to be no more at risk on a Monday than any other day. A study of 11,000 Italians proved 8 a.m. on a Monday morning as the most stressful time for the heart, and both studies showed that Sunday is the least stressful day, with fewest heart attacks in both countries. The finding could lead to a better understanding of what is the immediate cause of heart attacks, according to Dr. Stefan Willich of the Free University. We know a lot about long-term risk factors such as smoking and cholesterol (胆固醇) but we dont know what actually causes heart attacks, so we cant give clear advice on how to prevent them. he said. Monday mornings have a double helping of stress for the working body as it makes a rapid change from sleep to activity, and from the relaxing weekend to the pressure of work. When people get up, their blood pressure and heart rate go up and there are hormonal (内分泌) changes in their bodies. Willich explained. All these things can have an unfavorable effect in the blood system and increase the risk of a clot (血凝块) which will cause a heart attack. When people return to work after a weekend off, the pace of their life changes. They have a higher workload, more stress, more anger and more physical activities. said Willich.32. Monday morning feeling, as this passage shows, . A. is not as serious as people thought B. is the first killer in Germany and Italy C. is harmful to working people in Germany and Italy D.is created by researchers in 33. To protect people from a heart attack, doctors have paid much attention to . A. peoples working timeB. peoples living place C. peoples nationalitiesD. peoples diet and lifestyle34. It can be learned from this passage that the heart attack has something to do with all the following EXCEPT . . A. blood pressure B. heart rate C. hormonal change D. blood type35Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. There is no more risk of heart attacks for non-smokers on Monday mornings.B. Heart attacks are more common in Germany than in any other country. C. 20%of the Italians appear to have higher possibility of having heart attacks. D. Non-smokers are more likely to have heart attacks on Sundays.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A-G选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项有两项为多余选项。Tips for Smarter Studying Brushing up (温习) for a school test? Staying up late, devoting a whole day to nothing but tiredness? Youre doing it wrong. Remember: Learning is an art as well as a science. Then how can we learn more efficiently? Below are some tips about the science of successful learning. 36 Pull up a seat, and start taking notes.1. 37 Handwriting is slow, so you have to think harder about the material to distill (提取) it. It might seem painful to put pen to paper, but youll save study time in the end.2. Dont study without practice. 38 The constant repetition of remembering something is not efficient. Searching your brain for what youre trying to remember keeps things fresher. Experiments showed those who took a test did better on a subsequent test than those who studied. Its not just about remembering information, but using the brain muscles to practice retrieving (恢复) the information too. Thats what a test requires of us.3. Sleep on it. Maybe you are accustomed to staying late before a test. But if you want to keep some information for long, plan your sleep time. Your brain needs time to catch up and process all youve stuffed (塞满) in there. 39 4. Test yourself. 40 This goes back to tip No. 2finding ways to pull things from your mind. Plus, this way, youll learn what you need to work on.A. Sleep usually contributes to it.B. Take practice tests repeatedly as you study.C. Surely, youll benefit from them.D. Relaxing helps long-term memory.E. Take those notes by hand.F. The best way to learn is to know it by heart.G.
