I had never been to Russia and my impression of that country was formed by what I heard and saw on television and in the newspaper. We were to be picked up at the airport by a driver who would then take us to the hotel and then go sightseeing. We arrived on time, got our baggage and went to the gate, but no one was waiting holding a sign with our names.We had the phone number of the driver and the travel agency but no phone worked in Russia. I noticed a young woman sitting next to me with a cell phone so I asked her if she spoke English and she replied “Yes”. Should she please call our driver, I would pay for the call, I asked. “No problem,” she replied and called both numbers but no one answered.A Russian woman holding a sign with someones name on it, not ours, must have overheard this conversation and took the paper and called both numbers. Again, no one answered. She shrugged and sat down and then her phone was ringing (the phone was from my driver) and in Russian she had a conversation.Then she started to tell me about the call from my driver, but in Russian. I said, “No Russian, English?” She said, “No English, Russian or Spanish.” The young woman who had made the first call said she spoke Spanish. So the Russian woman relayed (传达) the information from our driver to the young woman in Spanish. Then the young woman told the information to me in English.The three of us looked at each other and realized what had just happened and laughed and hugged each other. That was international kindness.24. What can we infer from the first paragraph?A. The author came to Russia on business.B. The author knew Russia very well.C.

Things to Prepare During the Trip C40 years ago the idea of disabled people doing sport was never heard of. But when the yearly games for the disabled were started at Stoke Mandeville, England in 1948 by Sir Ludwig Guttmann, the situation began to change.Sir Ludwig Guttmann, who had been driven to England in 1939 from Nazi Germany, had been asked by the British government to set up an injuries center at Stoke Mandeville Hospital near London, His ideas about treating injuries included sport for the disabled.In the first games just two teams of injured soldiers took part .The next year, 1949, five teams took part. From those beginnings, things have developed fast. Teams now e from abroad to Stoke Mandeville every year. In 1990 the first Olympics for the disabled were held in Rome, in the same place as the normal Olympic Games. Now, every four years the Olympic Games for the disabled are held, if possible, in the same place as the normal Olympic Games, although they are organized separately. In other years games for the disabled are still held at Stoke Mandeville, In the 1984 Wheelchair Olympic Games, 1,064 wheelchair athletes form about 40 countries took part. Unfortunately, they were held at Stoke Mandeville and not in Los Angeles, along with the other Olympics.The games have been a great success in helping the progress of international friendship and understanding, and in proving that being disabled does not mean you cant enjoy sport. One small source of disappointment for those who organize and take part in the games, however, has been the unwillingness of the International Olympic mittee to include disabled events at the Olympic Games for the able-bodied. Perhaps a few more years are still needed to persuade those fortunate enough not to be disabled that their disabled fellow athletes should be included.28. The first games for the disabled were held _ after Sir Ludwig Guttmann arrived in England.A. 40 yearsB. 21 yearsC. 10 yearsD. 9 years29. Besides Stoke Mandeville, surely the games for the disabled were once held in_.A. New YorkB. LondonC. RomeD. Los Angeles30. What do we know about Sir Ludwig Guttmann from the passage?A.

From the passage, we may know that the writer is_.A. in favor of holding the games for the disabledB. against holding the games for the disabledC. a disabled person who once took part in the gamesD. one of the organizers of the games for the disabledDAs sea levels climb, even Washington, D. C. could see more frequent and widespread flooding at high tide. Strong storms and high winds sometimes bring floods to coastal areas. But cities and towns along the US East Coast are flooding even in calm and sunny weather. Among them is Marylands capital Annapolis. Tourists there must sometimes walk through water flooding downtown streets surrounding the habor. Sometimes water covers roads in Atlantic City, N. J. Even the yards and basements of coastal homes near New York City sometimes flood. All are suffering from this trend-normal high tides surpass(超过) a rising sea level Sea levels have climbed, on average, about 20 centimeters(8 inches) over the past 135 years. And a sharp increase in tide flooding is one of the more visible impacts affecting many coastal areas, notes William Sweet, an oceanographer. Sweet and his co-workers recently analyzed data from 45 tide gauges(计量表) along the US coasts. These tools record the changing heights of tides as they rise and fall. From these data, Sweets team calculated the number of “troublesome floods” in various coastal cities. These floods, Sweet explains, typically occur when water level is about 30 centimeters(1 foot) above the historic level of the highest tides. In June 2014, the team reported finding a growing rise in these flooding events. In Charleston, S. C, from 1957 to 1963, the city experienced troublesome floods an average of 4.6 days per year. Bur from 2007 to 2013, the occurring rate of troublesome floods jumped five times. Annapolis city was even more serious. From 1957 to 1963, troublesome floods were roughly 3.8 days per year. From 2007 to 2013, the average was 10 times higher-39.3 days a year. “Over the next few decades, climate change probably drives sea levels even higher,” Sweet says. “So todays flooding problems promise to bee only more widespread and frequent.”32. What is Paragraph 2 mainly developed by?A. Making parisons. B. Analyzing causes.C. Using examples.D. Following time order.33. Why are more flooding problems caused?A. Because the river levels have been climbing.B. Because climate has changed over the years.C. Because the weather conditions are not stable.D. Because people are living too close to harbors.34. What can it be inferred according to data in Paragraph 5?A. There has been a growing rise in these analyzed flooding events.B. The changes of heights of tides are usually in a small range.C. The floods in coastal cities often occur when water level is above 1 foot.D. The number of troublesome floods gradually gets less.35. What is the text mainly about?A. Sweets team. B. A flood research.C. The US East Coast. D. American oceanographers.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。A major source of teen stress is school exams，and test anxiety is not unmon.
