young age she had no idea that her growth as a competitor would help her set the path for her growth as a student, leader, and community member. holland has been involved in a large number of sports her whole life, but her onset of asthma(哮喘) in middle school caused her to reevaluate her athletic pursuits. instead of giving up, however, she decided to focus on sports that required more strength than endurance.holland quickly began cheerleading and wakeboarding(海上滑板), and even though she had to suffer from serious injuries, she became a jr. womens world champion in wakeboarding and made the ut cheer squad(小队) in her freshman year. recently, she won the collegiate womens national cable wakeboarding championship title.while hollands commitment to athletics is strongly influential in her life, it is her commitment to service and the community that makes her special. she challenges herself to excel(超常,突出) further in the classroom than she does on the water, and uses her drive to help others. convinced by the power of will and creativity. holland has sought to make a difference on her campus. she founded orange outreach within uts student government. orange outreach plans monthly community service events for students and staff, and hosts an online platform where groups within austin who need volunteers can post bulletins(公告).holland is confident that whichever path her life takes her down, she will be able to use her determination and skills to help others.21.because of asthma, holland _.a.gave up her athletic pursuits b.began to focus on limited sportsc.had to drop out of middle school d.stopped cheerleading and wakeboarding22.paragraph3 is mainly about _.a.hollands school life b.why holland loves sportsc.hollands achievements in sports d.how holland recovered from asthma23.orange outreach aims to _.a.encourage people to do sports b.change students classroom behaviorc.help uts student government post bulletinsd.connect people with volunteering opportunitiesbi wanted to buy something today until i figure out the cost versus the benefit. at that point i knew it was a completely stupid idea.what i wanted to buy was an older car to have in addition my four-year-old smart car that i absolutely like. so you wonder, if i like the smart car, why would i want to have another car as well? the reason is grandkids. i have several and in the smart car i can only have one passenger(its a two-seater). besides, one of my daughters-in-law does not trust the the smart car as a vehicle for her daughter lily to ride in, so thats one little girl i cant take anywhere at all. my husband also has a car and a truck but i have driven the truck only a couple of times in the many years weve had it and i have not driven his year-old car at all.so thats why i had the stupid idea to buy an old toyota i found on the lot of an honest used car salesman. thank heavens i came to my senses before i spent $8,000 to buy it, $80 or so to license it and probably $500 to insure it for a year. it would be senseless to buy that car.my grandkids just have to continue to come with me one by one. i cant take two girls out to lunch or two girls shopping or pick up the brother and sister that live in the same house. as for the little one thats not allowed to ride with me. well, grandpa will have to pick her up. as for me, i didnt get money in my savings account by being totally stupid. sure, doing things with the kids is fun, but spending that kind of money to put two or more of them in a group which would probably drive me crazy anyway is really dumb. sometimes temptation(诱惑) can prove that you still have a little sense.whew! that was close.24.why did the author want to buy a car?a.her smart car is in poor condition. b.she wanted to replace her smart car.c.her daughter-in-law asked her to do so. d.the space in her smart car is limited.25.the author gave up the idea of buying the toyota because _.a.it was a used car b.she couldnt afford it.c.there was no need for it d.the salesman was unreliable26.the underlined word “dumb” in the last paragraph can best be replaced by _.a.difficult b.stupid c.reasonable d.amazing27.which of the following proverbs best describes the text?a.look before you leap. b.better late than never.c.dont judge a book by its cover. d.every advantage has its disadvantage.crobert armstrongs favorite food has been his grandmas cookies ever since he was a child.years later and armed with a business degree, armstrong, 28, is turning his grandmas cookie recipe into a national brand, g mommas southern style cookies, featuring chocolate chip pecan(美洲山核桃) and “buddasctch” oatmeal(燕麦片) flavors.in february, california-based specialty retailer(零售店), cost plus world market, with 265 stores in 31 states selling home dcor(装饰), food and drink, started selling the cookies. they will also be in 800 cracker barrel stores this fall.after graduating from college in 2008 and unable to find a job, robert armstrong asked his grandmother, anice morris armstrong, to teach him how to bake, which he thought would take an afternoon.“it was harder than college,” he said.with basic cooking tools and an oven in an abandoned kitchen, he set up his own business, selma good, and began producing cookies in an old warehouse. baking 10 to 12 hours a day, he managed to deliver cookies to 35 stores. his grandmother helped him develop the “buddascotch” recipe before her death, aged 88, last july. “she encouraged me in ways no one else ever could,” said armstrong. he reached out via linkedin, a website, to a national distributor, who asked for samples. within a year, he found a commercial bakery in pennsylvania and a deal to go national with world market. “everybody has a grandma recipe, but i was lucky to find people that would take a chance on me,” armstrong said. “theyre crunchy(松脆的), but light, like feathers, and taste extremely good,” said judy mckinny at marks market, one of armstrongs first retail customers in his hometown of selma, alabama.world market is ordering two cases per store each quarter, a huge leap from the 9,000 bags he made himself per quarter.his goal is to one day move production back to his native selma to help its development. selma has struggled economically since the closure(关闭,终止) of a candy factory several years ago.28.what do we know about robert armstrong from the passage?a.he disliked eating cookies when he was little.b.he majored in business when he was in college.c.he barely visited his grandmother after graduation.d.he sold his grandmas cookie recipe to a company.29.why did robert armstrong choose to bake after his graduation?a.because he wanted to make his grandma happy.b.because he had great difficulty in finding a job.c.because he was deeply influenced by his grandma.d.because he was very interested in making cookies.30.when first starting his career in bakery, robert armstrong _.a.lacked support from his family members b.could not develop a new type of recipec.lacked fancy tools and an ideal workplace d.could not get any stores to order the cookies 31.according to paragraph7, robert armstrong owes his success to _.a.his good luck b.a useful website c.his grandmas recipe d.his ability to make friendsdas a published author with a degree in english, 33-year-old tom williams has achieved more than many people will in a lifetime. what makes those achievements more impressive is that hes dyslexic(诵读困难的).tom, who worked as a literary agent at school and now has a full-time job with a digital publishing company, would often find keeping up in lessons so tiring that he would fall asleep. “i found it quite frustrating(令人泄气的) that everybody else had neat handwriting and could spell and i just couldnt do what they could,” says tom, who has written a respected biography of crime writer raymond chandler.it wasnt until the age of 17 that he was given a test for dyslexia(阅读障碍) that showed why hed struggled for so long. he was studying for a levels including english. “my teacher didnt think id get the grades i was capable of,” he says. “so she pushed me to be tested and im grateful that she did it.”until his diagnosis tom had been ranked somewhere in the middle of his classes at school. he couldnt understand why assignments would come back covered in red ink. however, after toms diagnosis, when his condition began to be taken into account, he found himself at the top of the class.“ive always loved books and loved english and although i sometimes have difficulties in reading, its not in a significantly disabling way,” says tom, now living in north london.he adopted certain strategies to help him including writing down new words as he came across them and trying to find somewhere quiet to read and write. he says people were often surprised that someone with dyslexia wanted to pursue a degree in english. similarly, when he went to study at university college london, the tutors were initially taken aback at his degree choice.not everyone understands dyslexics so well. “if teachers arent trained to recognize signs of dyslexia, theyll think children are less able and may think its carelessness,” he says. to make sure that doesnt happen and encourage a deeper understanding of the condition among those affected by it, tom has become a supporter of the charity dyslexia action.32.before the age of 17, tom williams _.a.didnt like his teachers b.wanted to be a crime writerc.had difficulty reading and writing d.was too careless to get straight as33.the underlined part

help the disabled peoplec.introduce how to use dyslexia to great advantaged.promote effective ways of teaching kids with dyslexia35.what does the passage mainly talk about?a.tom williams school life. b.how to overcome dyslexia.c.tom williams became a writer with his teachers help.d.tom williams overcame dyslexia and became an author.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。
