As they went along, they saw lying in the path a pair of old shoes. They supposed the shoes belonged to a poor man who was employed in a field close by, and who had nearly finished his days work. The student turned to the professor, saying, “ Let us play the man a trick: we will hide his shoes, and hide ourselves behind those bushes, and wait to see his confusion when he cannot find them”.“My young friend,” answered the professor, “we should never amuse ourselves at the expense of the poor. But you are rich, and may give yourself a much greater pleasure by tricking on the poor man. Put a coin into each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves and watch how the discovery affects him.”The student did so, and they both placed themselves behind the bushes close by. The poor man soon finished his work, and came across the field to the path where he had left his coat and shoes. After he slipped his foot into one of his shoes, he felt something hard. He bent down to feel what it was, and found the coin. Astonishment and wonder were seen on his face.He fixed his eyes on the coin, turned it round, and looked at it again and again. He then looked around him on all sides, but no person was to be seen. He now put the money into his pocket, and continued to put on the other shoe; but his surprise was doubled on finding the other coin. His feelings overcame him. He fell upon his knees, looked up to heaven and cried a sincere thanksgiving, in which he spoke of his wife, sick and helpless, and his children without bread, whom the timely help, from some unknown hand, would save from dyingThe student stood there, deeply affected, and his eyes filled with tears“Now,” said the professor, “are you not much better pleased than if you had played your intended trick？” The youth replied, “You have taught me a lesson which I will never forget21.The student wanted to play the poor man a trick to _.A.find the truth B.show his wisdom C.teach him a lesson D.amuse himself22.After finding the two coins, the man felt _.A.helpless B.interested C.thankful D.peaceful23.We can know from the passage that the professor is _.A.rich B.wise C.humorous D.serious24.What dose the story intend to tell us？A.A small act of kindness brings great joy. B.God helps those who help themselves.C.Where there is a will, there is a way. D.Actions speak louder than words.BTips for Cycle TripsCycling has many advantages as a form of travel, as it is the fastest way to travel by human power, and slow enough to allow the type of local involvement that is impossible with powered travelCycle travel is a cheap form of transportationDistanceOn level terrain（地形）,without a headwind, a cyclist of average fitness on a touring bike can comfortably cover 60-120km a dayDistances of up to 250km a day are possible, but anything much beyond 120km will require considerable physical tension and not allow many stops to enjoy the places you visitFor many,80-100km a day will be the most suitable distance to aim for, as it will give a sense of achievement and also leave plenty of time for meals and activitiesGeographyThe gradient（坡度）of the trip will reduce your rangeA basic rule is that for every 100 metres of altitude you climb, you should add an extra 15 minutes to your journey timeIn hilly or mountainous areas, the easiest routes for cycling are downstream along major rivers, as overall they will be downhillA long, roundabout route along a river will usually be easier than a short, direct route over a hill or mountain passHowever, it is worth bearing in mind that the most scenic routes often come from hilly terrainEatFood choice depends largely on where you are, so see the respective sections for more information about foods. As you will be working hard, its important to get enough energy in your food. On long trips away from major towns-there may be little quality food available, so be prepared to live on candy bars, prepared meat products and the like if the need arises.SleepWhile you can take a tent with you, many hotels and especially campsites can accommodate cyclists. However, there are also some hotels that may be less used to accommodating cyclists. If you are exploring an unfamiliar place, asking about the accommodation spares you the search for a new place to stay after a long exhausting day of travel.25.Which of the following distance does the author suggest to ordinary cyclists a day?A.90km. B.50km. C.130km. D.250km.26.Form the passage, we can learn that _.A.cycling over a mountain is challenging but worthy B.hotels seldom provide accommodation for cyclistsC.high quality food is easy to get on long trips D.it takes cyclists 15 minutes to climb 10m of altitude27.We can probably read this passage in _.A.a geography book B.a research report C.a travel magazine D.a science fictionCWhen we think of leadership, we often think of strength and power. But what are these really, and how do they operate?Leadership today is not about forcing others to do things. If this is even possible, it is short-term, and tends to backfire. If you order someone to do something against their will, they may do it because they feel they must, but the anger they feel will do more harm in the long-term. They will also experience fear.Fear causes the thinking brain to shut down, making the person unable to function at his or her best. If they associate you with this emotion of fear, they will become less functional around you, and you will have succeeded in not only shooting yourself in the foot, but possibly making a very good employee or partner unable to perform effectively. Fear has no place in leadership.The way we influence people in a lasting way is by our own character, and our understanding and use of emotion. We can order someone to do something, which may be part of the work day, or we can employ them at the emotional level, so they become fully devoted to the projects and provide some of their own motivation. Todays work place is all about relationships.Anyone works harder in a positive environment in which theyre recognized and valued as a human being as well as worker. Everyone produces just a bit more for someone they like. Leaders understand the way things work. They know the pay check is not the single most motivating factor in the work life of most people.The true strength of leadership is an inner strength that comes from the confidence of emotional intelligenceknowing your own emotions, and how to handle them, and those of others. Developing your emotional intelligence is the single best thing you can do if you want to develop your relationships with people around you, which is the key to the leadership skills.28.An employee man have a feeling of fear in the work place when _.A.he cannot work at his bestB.he is forced to do thingsC.he feels his brain shut downD.he thinks of his work as too heavy29.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A.People tend to associate leadership with fear.B.Working conditions affect peoples physical health.C.Smart people are more functional in the work place.D.Good relationship is the key to business success.30.To positively influence employees, a leader should first of all _. A.develop his own personality B.provide better suggestions C.give his employees a pay raise D.hide his own emotion of fear31.Good leadership is mainly seen in a leaders ability to _. A.provide a variety of projects for employeesB.help raise employees living standardsC.deal wisely with employees emotionsD.give employees specific instructionsDA new study has found no evidence that sunscreen, commonly used to reduce the risk of skin cancer, actually increases the risk.Researchers from the University of Iowa based their findings on a review of 18 earlier studies that looked at the association between sunscreen use and melanoma(黑素瘤). They said that they found flaws in studies that had reported associations between sunscreen use and higher risk of melanoma.Most health experts believe that by protecting the skin from the harmful effects of the sun, sunscreen helps prevent skin cancer, which is increasing in incidence(发生率) faster than any other cancer in the United States.But questions have been raised about sunscreen and whether it may have the opposite effect, perhaps by allowing people to remain exposed to the sun longer without burning.The researchers said that among the problems with some earlier studies is that they often failed to take into account that those people most at risk for skin cancerpeople with fair skin and freckles(雀斑), for exampleare more likely to use sunscreen. As a result, it may appear that sunscreen users get cancer more often.The studies, which generally relied on volunteers to recall their sunscreen use, were also unable to prove how well the products had been applied, said the new study.32.The underlined word “flaws” probably means _. A.faults B.facts C.evidences D.failures33.People with fair skin and freckles _. A.seldom use sunscreen B.can be free from the harm of the sun C.are more in danger of skin cancer D.often expose themselves to the sun34.We can learn from the passage that _. A.the number of skin cancer patients is increasing in AmericaB.the volunteers have proved the effect of sunscreen C.the new study was based on the experiences of volunteers D.sunscreen users get skin cancer more often 35.Which of the following can be the best title for this passage? A.Sunscreen to Increase Skin Cancer B.Sunscreen to Prevent Skin CancerC.Skin Cancer Caused by Sunscreen D.Skin Cancer Caused by Freckles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入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer. 36 Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger.For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a persons health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones (荷尔蒙). They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc. 37 Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure. 38 They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “ 39 Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. 40 A. In general the person feels excited and ready to actB. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.C. Expressing anger violently is more harmful than repressing itD. Anger may cause you a cancer.E. Do not express your anger while angry.F. Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time.G. Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分55分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空表出的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。One summer night, on my way home from work, I decided to see a movie.
