grew up in africa among great poverty and disease. he came to georgetown university on a scholarship to study medicine but coach john thompson got a look at him and had a different idea. dikembe became a star in the nba, and a citizen of the united states. but he never forgot the land of his birth, or the duty to share his fortune with others. he built a new hospital in his old hometown in the congo. a friend has said of this good-hearted man: “ dikembe believes that god has given him this chance to do great things.” success and kindness after her daughter was born, julie searched for ways to share her love of music and art with her child. so she borrowed some equipment, and began filming childrens videos in her own house. the baby einstein company was born, and in just five years her business grew to more than $20 million in sales. and she is using her success to help others producing child safety videos with john walsh of the national center for missing and exploited children. julie says of her new program: “i believe its the most important thing that i have ever done. i believe that children have the right to live in a world that is safe.” _ a few weeks ago, wesley was waiting at a subway station with his two little girls when he saw a man fall into the path of a train. with seconds to act, wesley jumped onto the tracks, pulled the man into the space between the rails, and held him as the train passed right above their heads. he insists hes not a hero. he says: “we have got to show each other some love.”21. why did dikembe go to georgetown university? a. because he wanted to build a new hospital for his people.b. because he wanted to be a student of medicine.c. because he wanted to be a star in the nba. d. because he wanted to be a citizen of the united states.22. what was julie praised for according to the passage? a. building a new hospital in her hometown. b. helping a man to get across the rails.c. creating a safety world for children.d. protecting two little girls from getting hurt.23. what is the best title for the third passage?a. honesty and courageb. determination and patiencec. love and confidenced. bravery and courage bcelia was shocked. she had always been in good shape during high school, but now, in her first year of college, she was suddenly ten pounds heavier. “my friends and i often had pizza or ice cream when we studied late at night,” she said, “and i was always drinking coke to stay awake.”celias experience is common. many students enter college and find it so different that they cannot deal with changes properly. theyre away from their parents and in a new stressful environment. pressures together with freedom to sleep and eat whatever they please cause many students to experience the “freshman 15”: gaining weight suddenly in their freshman year of college.most students do not realize that the “freshman 15” can cause some serious health problems. of course, college-age adults are still developing bone mass, so gaining some weight is normal. sudden weight gain, however, puts too much strain on the heart and lungs, resulting in little energy and some difficulty thinking and remembering. in later life, it can lead to heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and possible cancer.the solution to the “freshman 15” is simplepay attention to developing good habits! eat normal-sized meals at regular times. eat slowly and enjoy it, so you dont need to goback for more. keep only healthy snacks in your roomand dont snack too often! control drinking and smoking. alcohol has a lot of calories, and smoking too much makesexercise difficult. exercise regularly! even just 30 minutes a daysuch as walking quickly to class fromyour dormwill make a big difference! 24. when celia was in her first year of college, _. a. she didnt sleep well at night b. she had pizza or ice cream to stay awakec. she was on diet and in good shaped. she gained weight suddenly25. what is not mentioned about the problems caused by “freshman 15”?a. it puts too much strain on the heart and lungs.b. it causes some difficulty thinking and remembering.c. it stops bones from developing. d. it can lead to heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and possible cancer.26. what does the underlined word “strain” in paragraph 3 mean?a. nutrition b. pressure c. energy d. weight27. if you want to be a good shape in college, you can do the following things except _.a. eating healthy snacks as much as possibleb. eating slowly and exercise regularlyc. keeping away from drinking and smokingd. enjoying your regular meals at right time chave you experienced nightmares (噩梦)? most people ever. something terrible reappears in their nightmares. maybe people would spend most of their lives trying to forget bad memories. “if only i could forget bad memories!” some people hope. now there is good news for people who suffer from nightmares. american researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. the pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. after taking the pill, people no longer have nightmares. in the experiments, the pill stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. so far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased(擦除).but not all people accept the idea. supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers troubling memories after war. they say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories. roger pitman, a professor of psychiatry (精神病学) said: “some memories can ruin peoples lives. they come back to you when you dont want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. they usually come with very painful emotions. but if there is a pill which can help you no longer live in the past shadow, why not?”but those who are against the research say that changing or erasing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity. all of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. im not sure we want to wipe those memories out, ” said rebecca dresser. 28. which of the following is right according to the passage?a. the pill tested on people can erase the painful memories.b. the pill has been put on market in america.c. the pill will do harm to peoples health.d. the pill may reduce the emotional effects of memories. 29. people who are against the research think_.a. its good to erase peoples bad memoriesb. experiencing bad events makes us what we are c. the pill will stop peoples bad experiencesd. the pill can relieve a lot of emotional suffering30. what is the authors attitude towards the pills?a. objective. b. positive.c. negative.d. doubtful.31. where is the passage probably taken from？ a. an advertisement. b. a science magazine. c. a business report. d. a research plan.dbe careful what you say around your dog. it might understand more than you think. a border collie named rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects, say researchers in germany. the dog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a 3-year-old child. its word-learning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee (黑猩猩).in one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 10 objects. then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items and bring it back. in four tests, rico got 37 out of 40 commands right. as the dog couldnt see anyone to get clues, the scientists believe rico must understand the meanings of certain words.in another experiment, the scientists took one toy that rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew. the owner then told rico to fetch the object, using a word the dog had never heard before.the correct object was chosen in seven out of l0 tests, suggesting that the dog had worked out the answer by process of elimination (排除法). a month later, rico remembered half of the new names, which is even more impressive. rico is thought to be smarter than the average dog. for one thing, rico is a border collie, a breed (品种) known for its mental abilities. in addition, the 9-year-old dog has been trained to fetch toys by their names since the age of nine months.its hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say. even if they do, they cant talk back. still, it wouldnt hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then. you might just get a big, wet kiss in return! 32. how did the dog get the right answer in the second experiment?a. by process of elimination.b. by using memories.c. by getting clues.d. by learning skills.33. the third paragraph is developed by _.a. comparing b. listing numbers c. concluding d. explaining34. it can be inferred from the last paragraph that _.a. dogs can understand all the words we sayb. dogs should be treated friendly c. dogs must kiss human beings in returnd. dogs wont hurt human beings at all35. what is the best title for the passage?a. skills of training dogsb. experiments of training dogsc. are dogs smarter than human beings?d. do dogs understand human beings?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。 many people experience stress
