She wants me to be her friend and nobody else s. But Kathy is my friend, too. ” She cried. “ You talk to Marcy. You tell her that I want to be her friend, but I can have other friends, too!” Oh! I looked at her for a few moments, wondering how I got into this mess, when suddenly an idea came to me. Picking up two baskets from the living room, I explained, “When everyone is born, he or she has a little basket. This little one here is yours. The big one is mine. As you grow, so does the basket. You can see your little basket is inside mine because when you were born, there were too many things you couldnt do for yourself. I did everything you couldnt do on your own.” She nodded. “Well, as you grew older and began to do some things on your own, I began placing a few more things in your basket. When you learned to tie your shoes, that went in your basket.” She said softly, “I can tie my own shoes.” “Right. As you grow older, there will be more and more things you must do on your own.” As I spoke, I gradually took her basket out of mine and handed it to her. “You will finally carry your own basket with things only you can do.” She looked up at me and said, “ I understand. There are some things that I have to do for myself because they are in my basket.”24. What was Sara s problem? A. She didnt have a basket. B. She didnt want her own basket. C.

Some are testing out standing desks, and realizing that a little bit of activity can actually be good for students attention. Others, like Ward Elementary in Winston-Salem, North Carolina,are starting to fill classrooms with exercise bikes, so student scan work out while they learn.The Read and Ride program at Ward began five years ago. One classroom is equipped with enough exercise bikes for a full class of students, and teachers bring students there throughout the day to use them. As they ride, they read.As the primary school studied testing data at the end of the school year,they found that students who had spent the most time in the program achieved an 83% proficiency (熟练度) in reading, while those who spent the least time in the program had failing scores-only 41%proficiency.“Riding exercise bikes makes reading fun for many kids who get frustrated when they read, says Scott Ertl,who started the program. They have a way to deal with that frustration they feel while they ride.”Using the bikes also gets students to exercise when they might not otherwise want to in gym class.“Many students who are overweight struggle with sports and activities since they dont want to always be last or lose, Ertl explains.“On exercise bikes,students can exercise at a fortable pace according to their own level-without anyone noticing when they slow down or take a break.”Over the last five years, the Read and Ride program has been introduced to 30 other schools.28. Which of the following would Chris Christie agree with?A. Students should have a good rest.B. Students should do more exercise.C. Students should use standing desks.D.

More sports activities will be added to it.B. It has got support from the government.C. Many people have doubts about it.D. It has proved to be a success.DIn many parts of the world, cars play an important role in daily life and many societies would not exist without them. So the idea that in 20 years time, no one will own cars may be hard to believe. But this is the prediction made by a team of transport researchers who are taken seriously, not only by government but also by car manufacturers.The Human Science and Advanced Technology Institute at Loughborough in the UK is part of an international research program. The team there believes that by 2020 all cars will be puterized, which will mean much saving, no accidents and better use of roads. The super-intelligent car of the 21st century will drive itself, and it will not be owned by one individual. Instead, we will have a choice of cars and change them as frequently as we change our clothing.According to Dr David Davis, who leads the research team, these predictions are based on the rising cost of the car culture, which had blocked up our cities, polluted our air, and caused more deaths than both world wars put together.Davis says, cars will be fitted with some intelligent devices to regulate the distance between one car and another. The car will automatically speed up, or slow down, to match the speed of the car in front. puters are much safer drivers than people, so cars in a road train will be able to drive much closer together than cars driven by people.By 2010, Dr David Davis believes, car technology will give motorists a clear view of the road, whatever the weather conditions, by projecting an image of the road ahead on to the cars windscreen. And by 2020, cars will travel in convoy, linked to each other electronically. Cars will be connected by an electronic tow bar to the car in front to form road-trains. The front vehicle in such a train burns the normal amount. says Davis. But all the others in the train would burn about ten percent of the normal amount, and so produce about ten percent of the pollution.32. We know from the passage that governments and car manufacturers _.A. do not believe the prediction that no one will own cars by 2020B. are devoted to the technological revolution in car industryC. consider the predictions seriouslyD. have put the super-intelligent car into mass production33. Which of the following will be the characteristic of the cars of 2020?A. The car will speed up out of control.B. All cars will be driven by puters.C. We will own as many cars as we want. D. Cars will produce more pollution than present ones.34. The expression closest in meaning to the phrase “in convoy” in the last paragraph is _?A. in line B. sidelong C. side by side D.shoulder to shoulder 35. What will happen if cars are joined to each other electronically in 2020?A. Motorists will get a clear view of the road.B. There will be less pollution caused by car.C. The weather condition will not have effect on motorists.D. All trains will burn less fuel than present.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。Tips for choosing a careerChoosing a career isnt always easy.
