A. a textbook B. a travel guide C. a science magazine D. a school websiteBFinding a New SpringA tradesman was leading a caravan(商队) to another country to sell his goods. Along the way they came to the edge of a severe hot-sand desert. They learnt that during the daytime the sun heats up the fine sand until its as hot as charcoal, so no one can walk on it - not even bullocks(小公牛) or camels! So the caravan leader hired a desert guide, one who could follow the stars, so they could travel only at night when the sand cools down. They began the dangerous night-time journey across the desert. A couple of nights later, after eating their evening meal, and waiting for the sand to cool, they started out again. Later that night, the desert guide, who was driving the first cart, saw from the stars that they were getting close to the other side of the desert. He had also overeaten, so that when he relaxed, he fell asleep. Then the bullocks who, of course, couldnt tell directions by reading the stars, gradually turned to the side and went in a big wide circle until they ended up at the same place they had started from! By then it was morning, and the people realized they were back at the same spot. They lost heart and began to cry about their condition. Since the desert crossing was supposed to be over by now, they had no more water and were afraid they would die of thirst. They even began to blame the caravan leader and the desert guide.However, the leader himself didnt lose courage. He began walking back and forth, trying to think out a plan. Remaining alert, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a small clump of grass. He thought, Without water, no plant could live in this desert. So he asked his fellow travelers to dig up the ground on that very spot. They dug and dug, and after a while they got down to a large stone. He got down into the hole, put his ear to the stone, and heard the sound of flowing water.A spring was found. All the people were overjoyed. They drank and bathed and washed the animals and cooked their food and ate. Before they left, they raised a high flag so that other travelers could see the new spring in the middle of the hot-sand desert. Then they continued on safely to the end of their journey. 25. Why did the tradesman and his caravan have to travel during the night?A. To use less water while crossing the desert. B. They might be able to find the spring in the quiet night. C. It was too hot to walk on the desert in the daytime. D. The guide could find a short way by following the stars.26. Why did the group feel so desperate when they were back to the starting point?A. Their leader had lost heart.B. They were running out of food. C. Their guide had lost the way. D. They were in danger of dying of thirst.27. What is the moral of the story? A. Dont mind what others think of you. B. Never give up too easily. C. Dont forget sorrow follows extreme joy. D. Never refuse to offer help when you are needed.CIf you are deeply hurt by someone, it is not easy to let go of yourgrudge. But forgiveness is possibleand it can be surprisingly helpful to your physical and mental health. Indeed, research has shown that people who forgive have more energy, better appetite (胃口) and better sleep pattern. “People who forgive show less anger and more hopefulness,” says Dr. Frederic Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good. “So it can help save on the wear and tear on our body and make people feel more energetic.”So when someone has hurt you, calm down first. Take plenty of breaths deeply and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love. Dont wait for an apology. “Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing,” says Dr. Luskin. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just dont see things the same way. So if you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting a very long time.” Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean accepting the action of the person who upset you. Mentally going over your hurt gives power to the person who brought you pain. Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. Finally, try to see things from the other persons perspective. You may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance(无知), fear, even love. To achieve the perspective, you may want to write a letter to yourself from that persons point of view.28. The underlined word “grudge” in the first paragraph most probably means _.A. forgiveness B. understanding C. anger D. pity29. Whats the main idea of the first paragraph?A. Forgiveness keeps yourself from being hurt.B. Forgiving others does good to your health.C. Forgiveness helps stay mentally healthy.D. Forgiving yourself is the biggest challenge.30. According to the writer, what is the best way to calm down after being hurt?A. Think about pleasant things and forget about the hurt.B. Write a letter to the person who hurt you.C. Persuade yourself to accept what others have done to you.D. Try to figure out why you get hurt.31. Dr. Luskin advises us not to wait for an apology after being hurt because _.A. people dont mean it when they apologize.B. wed feel worse accepting others apology.C. we are not patient enough.D. people seldom want to apologize. DThe fashionable technology of virtual reality (虚拟现实) (VR) - the wonderful world created by puters - is finally here, but before you rush out to buy the headset, youll want to take notice of experts warnings.“These devices are designed mostly for adult use,” said Dr. Justin，whose job is to examine peoples eyes and to sell glasses.Little research has been done about the long-term effects of VR on children, but makers have not designed the VR headsets for young eyes.VR headset maker Oculus Rift states that younger users may suffer from disfort or ill health effects, and they are in a very important period of visual development.“What a study has suggested is that a VR device can actually cause what we call amblyopia, potential lazy eyes, in these children with pre-existing visual conditions,” Dr. Justin said.Even children without underlying eye conditions could experience problems, like temporary double vision.Adults should be careful too, according to the doctor, who says longer virtual reality experiences can lead t balance problems. You should be careful of your surroundings and be careful not to trip over wires. Those with heart conditions are advised not to play.But there are some positive health uses of virtual reality. The technology has been used to treat conditions like fear of heights, and its also being used to help treat addictions.“What were trying to do is take people into a drug-related setting and let them experience cravings (extremely strong wishes for something,)” Dr. Zach Rosenthal with Duke University said. He and his team take addicts inside a virtual house and use a series of tones to condition them to reduce their cravings.A lot more research needs to be done about the long-term health effects of VR, but in the meantime you had better spend only a limited time on VR and make sure your children use it as little as possible.32. What may be Oculus Rifts attitude to childrens use of VR?A. Doubtful. B. Uninterested. C. Discouraging. D. Curious33. What did Dr.Justin say about VR?A. It could help to improve users balance. B. It might cause kids sight problems.C. It could be used to treat heart disease. D. It was badly in need of improvements.34. Why does the author mention Rosenthals study?A. To prove VRs beneficial effects. B. To explain the harm of addictions.C. To ment on VRs medical uses. D. To discuss peoples cravings for VR.35. What are scientists expected to find out?A. Why children are showing much interest in VR.B. How VR influences users over a long period of time.C. Why VR is getting more popular at the present time.D. How people can use VR to improve their health.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。Eyesight plays a very important role in our daily life.
