We stayed in a guesthouse on a farm, joining the daily routines and eating meals with the farmer and his family. We got up early to see the cows as they were milked. I even tried my hand at milking one, and then joined the farmer as he released the cows into the field afterward.Decades later I still have vivid memories of that trip which made me realize the value of a vacation, of seeing new things, meeting new people and sharing memorable experiences with family members. To this day, I still consider that family trip when I plan to take time off with my wife and kids. Vacations are a time for resting and connecting. As a bank manager, I spend much of my workday encouraging my customers to save their money. One of the reasons I give is that we should all have enough for a family vacation every year. In our busy lives, family is what we should be saving our money and time for.For my family, our vacation starts when we begin planning the trip. We talk about destinations and our budget (预算) ahead of time. Among the things we discuss: Can we save money by renting a house instead of spending six nights in a hotel? Would it be better to buy groceries and cook for ourselves rather than eat out every night? Involving (使参与) the kids in planning the vacation makes sure that they have a great vacation too. I prefer to visit historical sites and museums while they love to fish and swim. So I build in some relaxation time for us all so that the vacation can work for everyone.Each year, setting aside vacation time to spend together is especially important to us. A relaxing environment opens the doors to all kinds of conversationsdeep, silly or meaningful. Theres no pleasure from the usual everyday tasks. What matters is that everyone is having a great time.21. Why did the author and his parents go to the countryside when he was young?A. To milk the cow. B. To meet the farmer and his family.C.

He started off his career as an inventor after being a painter and sculptor (雕塑家). He even earned a gold medal from the famous Adelphi Society of Arts for his first effort in sculpture, the “Dying Hercules”. He became the first president of the National Academy of Design, and was made Professor of the Arts of Design in the University of the City of New York.Yet, this painter turned to inventing to make his fortune during a sea voyage. On this journey, Samuel Morse heard about many attempts to create usable telegraphs. He was fascinated by this problem and began to study books on physics for two years to gain more scientific knowledge. He realized that pulses (脉冲) of electrical current could carry information over wires.Thus the worlds first working model of a telegraph was born. His signaling device was quite simple. It consisted of a transmitter (containing a battery and a key), a small buzzer (蜂鸣器) as a receiver and a pair of wires connecting the two. Samuel Morse improved it by adding a switch and a second buzzer to allow transmission (传播) in the opposite direction as well.On May 24, 1844 Samuel Morse sent the first electronic message between Baltimore and Washington, “Look what God has enabled us to build, and benefit by.”Seventeen years later, the two coasts of the United States were linked by telegraph. The telegraph continued to enjoy the position of being the fastest and most reliable means of communication for almost 140 years since its invention.24.

Samuel Morse wanted to invent a telegraph because_.A. He was very interested in itB. He thought he was a talented inventorC. He thought he could make a fortuneD. He thought he would be famous26. The underlined phrase “the two” in paragraph 3 refers to_.A. the battery and the keyB. the transmitter and the buzzerC. the wires and the batteryD. the receiver and the keyCFish have different personalities which change as they experience lifes highs and lows, according to British biologistsResearchers identified different “personalities” in their fish by observing the boldness(大胆) or shyness of individuals，according to The Nature. Like people, some fish are very confident in the face of novelty or conflict, while others are silent and fearful.The scientists selected particularly bold and shy rainbow trout(虹鳟鱼), and tested whether they changed their outlook depending on what life threw at them. They arranged some fish to fight and others to watch to see how both the participants and observers responded to victories and defeats. Winning or losing a fight, or even watching fellow fish overcome the difficulties influenced the future behavior of the creatures studied in the labThe researchers made fish compete with much larger or smaller opponents(对手), to ensure that they would win or lose their fights. These bold fish that won their fights tended to be even bolder when later presented witha novel fooditem; losing their fight caused them to bemuch more cautiousFish also learn by watching others. Bold fish watching a shy fish exploring a mystery object were much more nervous when later given a novel item for themselvesPredictably，shy fish that won a fight also gained more confidence，but surprisingly，shy fish that lost their fights also grew bolder when exploring strange new food, Sneddon said, adding that this could be due to what she calls a “desperado effect”(亡命徒效应)The new research suggests that animals can gradually adapt(使适应) their personalities. The results agree with the effects that life experience can have on humans27. The third paragraph of the text is mainly about_.A. a conclusion of the researchB. an explanation of fish charactersC. a statement of the experimentD. a description of fish fights28. What can we learn from the passage?A. Brave fish losing fights become braver when presented with a novel food item.B. Brave fish watching a shy fish exploring a mystery get less nervous.C. Shy fish losing fights grow more confident in exploring new food.D. Losing their fights causes the shy fish to be much more cautious.29. What is the main idea of the text?A. Fish care about winning or losing a fightB. Fish can learn a lot by watching others.C. Fish have stress in the fierce fights.D. Fish have adaptable personalities.30. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Life experience could change peoples appearances.B. Life experience could influence peoples personalities.C. Life experience doesnt have any effect on humans.D. Life experience will make people much stronger.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。The most successful people all have certain habits in their daily routines. 31 Forming a new good habit can be a struggle, but it is well worth the effort.
