Rolling down the windows toletin fresh air, she settled back to enjoy her lunch. Suddenly shenoticeda big bald man running through the parking lot. Before she came torealizewhat would happen, the man was there, shouting through her window, “Get out!”Neilsonrefused.Pulling open her door, the man seized herbythe neck and hair, and threw her out of the car onto the ground. She screamed,grabbingher purse and the keys.Two reporters of the local newspaper, Robert Bruce and Jeff Jackson, just outside their office building on abreak, heard the screams and began running .When theyreachedNeilsons car, the attacker had jumped into the drivers seat and was madlysearching for the keys. Bruce opened the door, and he and Jackson dragged the man out. The attackerfoughtback. But even in his cornered panic, he was nomatchfor the two athletic men.Reggie Miller, a worker of the local newspaper, heard the screams, too. He rushed back to the office tophonethe police, and then ran back with some plastic ropes used to tie up newspapers.With his armstiedtight behind him, the prisoner looked up and saidcoldly, “I hope you guys feel good about yourselves you just caught one of the most wanted men.” Theyignoredhim and waited for the police. Later, Bruce and Jackson were shocked to learn the man was theprofessional carjacker （劫车者）and suspected murderer, whosepicture but with a full head of hair had been recently printed in their own newspaper. Neilson considers herself luckythoughshe suffered injuries. She believes the story might have had adifferentending if those good people had not come to her aid. “Unfortunately,” she said, “many people wouldnever have done what they did, and that is the real truth.”21. The underlined word “bald” in Paragraph 1 most probably means A. strong B. without hair C. ugly D. rude22. Please arrange the time order of the following events according to the passage.a.

Neilson doesnt think many people will do the same as the three men.C. Neilson thinks everyone will do the same as the three men.D. Neilson has great confidence in peoples kindness and bravery. BIn the 1960s, medical researchers Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe developed a checklist of stressful events. They appreciated the tricky point that any major change can be stressful. Negative events like “serious illness of a family member” were high on the list, but so were some positive life changing events, like marriage. When you take the Holmes Rahe test you must remember that the score does not reflect how you deal with stress it only shows how much you have to deal with. And we now know that the way you handle these events dramatically affects your chances of staying healthy.By the early 1970s, hundreds of similar studies had followed Holmes and Rahe. And millions of Americans who work and live under stress worried over the reports. Somehow, the research got boiled down to a memorable message. Womens magazines ran headlines like “Stress causes illness!” If you want to stay physically and mentally healthy, the articles said, avoid stressful events.But such simplistic advice is impossible to follow. Even if stressful events are dangerous, many like the death of a loved one are impossible to avoid. Moreover, any warning to avoid all stressful events is a prescription for staying away from opportunities as well as trouble. Since any change can be stressful, a person who wanted to be completely free of stress would never marry, have a child, take a new job or move.The notion that all stress makes you sick also ignores a lot of what we know about people. It assumes were all vulnerable and passive in the face of hardship. But what about human initiative (积极性) and creativity? Many come through periods of stress with more physical and mental vigor (活力) than they had before. We also know that a long time without change or challenge can lead to boredom, and physical and mental stress.24The studies on stress in the early 1970s led to . Awidespread concern over its harmful effectsBgreat panic over the mental disorder it could causeCan intensive research into stress related illnessDpopular avoidance of stressful jobs25Why is “such simplistic advice” in the third paragraph impossible to follow?ANo one can stay on the same job for long.BNo prescription is effective in relieving stress. CPeople have to get married someday.DYou could be missing opportunities as well.26We can infer from the passage people would become after experiencing stress.Anervous when faced with difficultiesBphysically and mentally stressfulCmore capable of dealing with hardshipDunconcerned with what happens to them CDo you feel lucky? You probably dont. You may think youve got where you are today through willpower and hard work. We tend to overlook lucks role，and this seems to get worse the richer we get; surveys show that the wealthiest are least likely to owe their fortunes to good fortune. Many such people oppose taxation（税收） and government spending: why should others get a handout（救济品） if they dont need one? More often than not，they vote against the very policies that helped them get lucky to begin with. In a recent Atlantic essay，Robert Frank，an economist who has studied attitudes to chance，quoted（引用） EB White: “Luck is not something you can mention in the presence of self-made men.”However， if we see this just as a problem of the super-rich people，we may let the rest of us off too easily. Anyone living in a highly developed economy in 2016 is already the one who benefits from luckfor example，not living in the modern-day Central African Republic， where few people can live a long life. In fact，we are lucky to have been born human. You might have been a battery hen，or a mayfly with only one day to live.Our blindness to such truths isnt only because were self-absorbed but also we attach more significance to things that are easier to call to mind. Its not hard to recall countless times when you put in the effort to succeed: struggling through university finals，preparing for job interviews，tolerating a long-distance travel to work. On the other hand，its rather difficult to realize youre privilegedlike not being born in a war zone，or before antibiotics（抗生素），and so forth.27. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 1 mean?A. Self-made men dont like to be talked about.B. Successful people owe their achievements to luck.C. Successful people tend to overlook the role of luck.D. Self-made men are more likely to show off their fortune.28. According to the author，you are fortunate if you are not .A. struggling through university finals B. preparing for interviewsC. tolerating a long distance travel D. living in a war zone29. We can learn from the passage that .A. few people in Africa are lucky B. each of us is actually privilegedC. people value the importance of luckD. people succeed because of luck30. Which of the following might be the best title for the text?A. Luck Is A Blessing B. We Are LuckyC. How To Be Lucky D. Who Is Lucky第二节（共5个小题；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。For the rest of March, a disease will sweep across the US.

Many lived in bad conditions in poor housing. The governments on 56 sides of the Atlantic, worked to improve the living conditions of city dwellers (居民). For a while, especially in the U.S., city life came to be seen as the best and most exciting way to live. Living in the rural areas was regarded as boring. Who wanted to be struggling to make 57 living in the country doing hard agricultural labor?Many in the UK believed that they had a much better chance of improving themselves in the city. It would be 58 (easy) to move from the ranks of physical laborers to the middle classes 59 they could get better jobs and education. However, Britain has always had a deep love of the beauty and peacefulness of the countryside. The upper classes have always liked to have a house both in London 60 in the country.
