As they went along, they saw a pair of old shoes lying in the path. 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, “ Lets play a trick on him: we can 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 much greater pleasure by helping the poor man. Put a coin into each shoe, and then we hide ourselves and watch how the discovery will affect him.” The student did so, and they both placed themselves behind the bushes close by. The poor man soon finished his work, and walked across the field to the path where he had left his coat and shoes. While putting on his coat he slipped his foot into one of his shoes, feeling 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 on all sides, but no person was seen. He 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,“arent you much more pleased to do than to play your intended trick？” The student replied, “You have taught me a lesson which I will never forget.”25.The student wanted to play a trick on the poor man to _A.find the truth B.amuse himselfC.show his wisdom D.teach him a lesson26.After finding the two coins, the man felt_A.interested B.peaceful C.helplessD.thankful27.We can know from the passage that the professor is _A.humorous B.wise C.rich D.serious28.What does the story intend to tell us？A.God helps those who help themselvesB.Where there is a will, there is a wayC.A small act of kindness brings great joyD.Actions speak louder than wordsSusan Brownwell Anthony was a lady ahead of her time. She fought for womens rights long before it became a popular issue. Susan was born on February 15, 1820, in Adams, Massachusetts. At that time, women had few rights. They could not own property. Money earned by a married woman belonged to her husband. Major decisions regarding children were made by the fathers. Women could not vote. At the age of 15, Susan became a schoolteacher. She taught for 15 years. Then she began organizing womens groups to promote causes that were important to women. She helped gain better educational rights for women. She helped give married women possession of their earnings.After the Civil War, Susan became very involved in the Womans Suffrage Movement. After years of lecturing, writing, and appealing by Susan and other women, some parts of the United States changed their laws to give women the right to vote. The first state was Wyoming in 1869. Other areas and states gradually followed Wyomings decision. It was not until 1920 that the U. S. Constitution was changed to give all women voting rights. Susan Brownwell Anthony died in 1906 at the age of 86. She was elected to the American Hall of Fame in 1950. She was the first American woman to have a likeness (肖像) of her face on a coin. It was the 1979 Susan Brwonwell Anthony dollar. 29. What was the situation of American women like when Susan was born?A. They managed money for their husbands. B. They had a low social status.D. They could vote after getting married. D. They were responsible for decision-making. 30. What is the third paragraph mainly about?A. Susans educational background. B. Susans efforts to abolish slavery. C. Susans fighting for womens causes. D. Susans teaching experiences. 31. What does the word decision in the Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Giving women voting rights.B. Uniting other areas and states.C. Promoting the social movement. D. Changing the US Constitution. 32. What may be the best title for the text? A. The Problem of Women Rights in the US B. The Most Popular Women Organizations C. The First American Woman to Invent Coins D. A Pioneer in Fighting for Womens Rights DCrossing your legs is an extremely mon habit; most people dont even notice that theyre doing it when they sit down. While you may find it fortable to sit with one knee crossed over the other, it might be causing health problems that you are not aware of. A study published in Blood Pressure Monitoring stated that sitting with your legs crossed can increase your blood pressure. The reason for this is that the blood in your legs has to work against gravity to be pumped back to your heart and that crossing one leg over the other increases resistance, making it even harder for the blood to circulate(循环). This causes your body to increase your blood pressure to push the blood back to the heart. You wont feel any immediate effects, but repeated, drawn-out increases in blood pressure can cause long-term health issues. So, planning to sit for a long period of time? Dont keep your legs crossed.Crossing your legs at the knee can also cause pressure on the major nerve in your leg that passes just below your knee and along the outside of your leg, explains Richard Graves, a medical expert. This pressure can cause numbness and temporary paralysis (麻痹) of some of the muscles in your foot and leg, preventing you from being able to raise your anklewhat we know as that “pins and needles” sensation. While the feeling of disfort may only last a minute or two, repeatedly crossing your legs until they feel numb can cause permanent nerve damage. So next time you sit down, try to get yourself in the habit of sitting with both of your feet on the floor. Not only will it help your posture and stability, but it will also save your health in the long run. 33. What can we learn about crossing ones legs? A. It can do harm to peoples health. B. It can make others feel unfortable. C. It is a very bad social habit. D. It is usually practiced deliberately. 34. According to the study, sitting with your legs crossed can_. A. resist gravity effectively B. lead to heart attacks easilyC. improve the function of legsD. affect your blood pressure 35. In the third paragraph pins and needles probably means_. A. being a little nervous B. serious muscle injuries C. slight sharp pains D. being highly flexible第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。While it is impossible to live pletely free of stress, it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce its effect when it cant be avoided36. _Take care of yourself 37._If you easily get angry and cant sleep well enough, or if youre not eating properly, it will be more likely that you will fall into stressful situationsIf stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you should consult a doctor38._.When you are nervous，angry or upset, try releasing the pressure through exercise or physical activityRunning, walking, playing tennis, and working in your garden are just some of the activities you might tryMake time for yourselfSchedule time for both work and entertainmentDont forget that play can be just as important to your overall well-being as work. 39._Go window-shopping or work on a hobbyAllow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy 40._Stress can result from disorganization and a feeling that “theres so much to do, and not enough time”Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and as a result, you may not achieve anythingInstead, make a list of everything you have to do, then do one thing at a time, checking off each task as it is pleted.
