With a modern plane you can travel in one day to places which took a month or more one hundred years ago.Travelling by train is slower than by air, but it has its advantages(优势). You can see the country you are travelling in. Modern trains have comfortable seats and dining cars. They make even the longest journey enjoyable.Some people prefer to travel by sea when it is possible. There are large lines and river boats with which you can visit many other countries and different places. Travelling by sea is a very pleasant way to spend a holiday.Many people like to travel by car. You can make your own timetable. You can travel three or four hundred miles or only fifty miles a day, just as you like. You can stop wherever you wish: where there is something interesting to see, at a good restaurant where you can enjoy a good meal, or a hotel to spend the night. That is why travelling by car is popular for pleasure trips, while people usually take a train or a plane when they are travelling on business.21. From the passage we know that the fastest way to travel is _.A. by car B. by train C. by plane D. by boat22. The underlined word “They” in the passage refers to_.A. modern trains in the country B. the travelers on modern trainsC. comfortable seats and dining cars D. the slower ways to travel23. How many ways to travel are mentioned in the passage?A. Five B. Six C. Three D. FourB Can you imagine being able to remember every single experience of your life and every word in your favorite book? Thats what Beckys life is like.Three years ago, Becky was reading a reading a newspaper article which mentioned that it was impossible for people to remember the details of their life in the first three years.“What nonsense!” she thought, because she could clearly remember her life all the way back to when she was just 12 days old. Her parents had carried her to the drivers seat of their car and laid her down for a photo. But it wasnt nonsense. She was just one of only 80 known people suffering from a mysterious condition called HSAM（超忆症）.Beckys unusual case was shown on a program called 60 Minutes, where reporter Allison tested her ability by asking her about her favorite book series, Harry Potter, Allison would pick up a book and open a page and read her a line. Immediately Becky would name the book, chapter number, copter name and could recite every word until Allison told her to stop.Being able to remember every little detail is great, but as every HSAM suffer will tell you, its also tough to deal with it. We always forget things to get over sad experiences in our lives, but its something that people like Becky cant do. Even walking on the street and lightly knocking into somebody can bring some me bad memories from Beckys childhood. Also, like Becky, people with HSAM never do well in school, because they have problems picking up the important information from what theyve learnt.Beckys great brain could help scientists find a cure for terrible mental illnesses like Alzheimers(老年痴呆症).Her condition could hold the secret to treating or even preventing Alzheimers.24. What did Becky do on 60 Minutes?A. She retold the story of Harry Potter. B. She recited the key part of Harry Potter.C. She answered any question about Harry Potter.D. She recited Harry Potter without opening her eyes.25. To Becky, forgetting painful experiences of her life is .A. a heavy burden B. a happy thing C. a great ability D. a big chance26. Why does Becky do poorly in her school work?A. She is always absentminded in class.B. She feels sad every time she begins to study.C. She cant remember the important knowledge.D. She is overloaded with information and cant tell which is important.27. What does the author want to say in the last paragraph?A. There is a cure for Beckys illness.B. Scientists have found a cure for Alzheimers.C. Becky will suffer from another mental illness.D. Beckys case is helpful for scientists to treat Alzheimers.CThe English language has a lot of words which can be used in many different ways and in many different expressions.One such example is the word matter. In fact, matter can mean just about anything. It could be one of the most useful words in the English language.Lets get to the heart of the matter a matter of principle(原则).If someone says that you owe(欠) him $50, but you dont, a friend might say, “Well, you could pay him the $50. Its not that much money. Then you wont have to hear him say it anymore. But if you do not owe him the money, do not pay him the money. Its a matter of principle.There is another way to use the word matter. But be careful with your choice of words.If you ask someone, “Whats the matter?”, it shows you are worried about the other person. But saying, “Whats the matter with you?” has a completely different meaning. And it usually sounds rude (粗鲁的). In fact, when you say, “Whats the matter with you?” you are suggesting that the person did something wrong or stupid.Another expression that could sound rude is to say, “It doesnt matter to me.” Here, it depends on the context, and how you say it.Lets say you tell someone that a friend just got a big raise at work. That person answers with, “It doesnt matter to me.” Here, it means he or she does not care. And it sounds rude.But saying, “Oh, you pick where we eat dinner. It doesnt matter to me.” does not sound rude. In this situation, “it doesnt matter” shows you are easy-going(随和的).No matter how you look at it and what you say, matter is a very useful word. And its only a matter of time before you will become an expert on the use of matter.28. We can infer from the text that the word matter _.A. has a wide use B. can mean moneyC. is the most used English word D. has the most different expressions29. What is the authors suggestion in Paragraph 4?A. Every penny counts. B. Stick to what is right.C. Follow your friends advice. D. Be careful when making friends.30. The underlined word “context” in the text probably means“A. choice B. person C. situation D. answer31. The author develops the text mainly by _.A. using examples B. giving instructionsC. describing his experiences D. discussing research findingsDMy family recently did our first major road trip, traveling from our Maryland home to Disney World in Florida. Though were no strangers to travel, a trip of this length was a new experience for us with three children. What helped us enjoy our trip so much? Our schedule, of course! So keeping a schedule when you travel can help make your trip a success.Dont sleep the day away.I know youre on vacation. The kids have a break from school, and youre excited to be out of the office. Let everyone sleep for a bit, but still make it a point to rise at a reasonable hour and get active to start the day. Not only will you see and do more on your trip, but it will make it easier to eat regularly, get the kids down at nap time (午觉), and then go to bed without a struggle.Eat regularly.Time is easy to go by while youre running through a theme park, or exploring (考察) a museum. Be prepared for meals because hungry kids are often quick to turn into a headache for you. Pack a snack and drink bag and make sure to stop regularly for a bite to eat while youre out. Keeping a regular meal schedule can help everyone keep up their energy and enjoy the day.Take a nap.Does your baby take a daily nap? Naps are very important for babys development. They also help little ones to pick up their strength, or vacations can be exhausting (疲惫的) for little minds and bodies.Go to bed at a reasonable hour.Everyone can get tired out on vacation. Dont allow anyone to stay up late every night. Mom, dad, and kids are all sure to be miserable if they dont get enough sleep. If bedtime gets delayed (推迟), adjust your travel plans accordingly.32. Why does the author write this passage?A. To tell the readers what fun it is to travel.B. To introduce some attractions of Disney World.C. To introduce one of his travel experiences to the readers.D. To give some advice on keeping a schedule while traveling.33. From the passage, we can infer that .A. the writer is a stranger traveling in the U.S.B. the writer is familiar with travel and has much experienceC. a proper schedule helped the writer enjoy his trip to MarylandD. eating a little more helps little children to recover their strength34. What kind of people is the passage mainly written for?A. Travelers to the U.S. B. Travel companies or agencies.C. Teenagers crazy about traveling. D. Parents who plan a family travel.35. During the trip, the author will agree that .A. taking a nap during the day is necessary for the childrenB. games and enjoyable activities can last until late at nightC. brunch is a good choice if you sleep late in the morningD. the bedtime should be changed if the travel plan changes七选五请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后根据短文内容从下面方框的七个选项中，选择五个还原到文中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整.Five Ways to Improve Communication SkillsCommunication is one of the most important skills we can ever learn.

By interrupting someone, what youre basically saying is “I dont care what youre sayingwhat I have to say is more important”.Dont finish other peoples sentences._37_ Wrong. Research has shown by doing this you are dis-empowering (剥夺权利) the other person because you are taking control of the conversation, so bite your tongue!Paraphrase.If you want to show that you have really understood someone, then paraphrasing (解释) is a great tool._38_ Heres an example: “So Barney, what Im hearing is that results are the number one objective for you right now and we need to find some fast solutions for you?”_39_Focus on active listening instead of passive listening. The difference is that active listening means you engage with and respond to the other person based on what he/she has said, while passive listening is simply the act of listening with no response.Maintain eye contact.By looking at the other person in the eyes, you are proving that youre interested in what he/she is saving._40_A.
