But here are some things your pilot wont tell you.You may not be getting the airline you paid for.You may go to an airline website and buy a ticket, and get onto an airplane that has a similar name painted on it,but half the time,youre really on a regional(地方的) airline. The regionals arent held to the same safety standards as the majors: their pilots arent required to have as much training and experience, and the public doesnt know that.Captain at a major airlineIf youre a nervous flier,book a morning flight.The heating of the ground later causes bumpier (颠簸的) air, and its much more likely to thunderstorm in the afternoon.Jerry Johnson,pilot,Los AngelesThe smoothest place is often over or near the wing.The bumpiest place on the plane is in the back. If youre in the middle, you dont move as much.Patrick Smith,pilot and author of Cockpit ConfidentialSit in the front if you want fresher air.The general flow of air on any airplane is from front to back. So if youre really concerned about breathing the freshest possible air or not getting too hot，sit as close to the front as you can.Planes are generally warm in the back.Tech pilot at a regional airline,TexasYou never know where the safest seat is.There is no safest place.In one accident,the people in the back are dead;in the next,its the people up front.John Nance,aviation safety analyst and retired airline captain,SeattleIve been struck by lightning twice.Most pilots have.Airplanes are built to take it.You hear a big boom and see a big flash and thats it.Youre not going to fall out of the sky.Charlotte,pilot for a regional carrier,North CarolinaPeople dont understand why they cant use their cellphones.Well,what can happen is that 12 people will decide to call someone just before landing,and I can get a false reading on my instruments saying that we are higher than we really are.Jim Tilmon,retired American Airlines pilot,Phoenix21. We can learn from the captain that at a major airline_.A. all the pilots of regionals have more training and experience B. the major airlines are usually safer than regional airlines C. half of all airlines have a similar nameD. it is convenient to get your airline tickets from the website22. Nervous fliers are advised by Jerry Johnson to _A. sit in the back B. avoid flying in bad weatherC. fly with major airlines D. fly in the morning 23. In the opinion of Jim Tilmon, passengers use of cellphones before landing is likely to _A. increase the risk of being struck by lightningB. make it difficult for pilots to control the planeC. lead to pilots wrong judgment about the height of the planeD. make their relatives worried about themBNowadays people pay more and more attention to animals, and some people begin to observe the animals in the wild. For example, in their observation, lions are opportunists. They prefer to eat without having to do too much work. When resting in the shade, they are also watching the sky to see what is flying by, and even in the heat of the day they will suddenly start up and run a mile across the plains to find out what is going on. If another animal has made a kill, they will drive it off and take the kill for themselves. A grown lion can easily eat 60 pounds of meat at a single feeding. Often they eat until it seems painful for them to lie down.The lionesses, being thinner and faster, are better hunters than the males. But the males dont mind. After the kill they move in and take the rest share.Most kills are made at night or just before daybreak. We have seen many, many daylight attempts but only ten kills. Roughly, its about twenty daytime attempts for one kill.When lions are hiding for an attack by a water hole, they wait patiently and can charge at any second. The kill is the exciting moment in the day-to-day life of the lion, since these great animals spend most of their time, about 20 hours a day, sleeping and resting.Lions are social cats, and when they are having a rest, they love to touch each other. After drinking at a water hole, a lioness rests her head on anothers back. When walking, young lions often touch faces with older ones, an act of close ties among members of the group.24. We can infer from the first paragraph that lions .A. like to take advantage of other animals B. are the most clever animalsC. are cruel animals D. like to share their food with other animals25. Which of the following is true according to the text? A. Lions make most kills in the daytime.B. Lions didnt care about things happening around them.C. Compared to lionesses, males care more about eating than active killing. D. It doesnt take lions too much time to make a kill.26. How can we know that lions are social animals?A. They depend on each other. B. They look after each other well.C. They always share what they have.D. They enjoy each others company.27. This passage is probably from _.A. A magazine B. An advertisement. C. A local newspaper. D. A guidebook.CDo you want to have a better future and do you want to know what can help? Here is something essential to your personal development. Being honest are fundamental requirements if you want to grow spiritually and follow your true destination of personal development. Its not simply about being honest with people. While that will make you a better person and a more accepted one its more importantly about being honest with yourself. Living your life honestly means that youve decided to live openly and to show your true self to others and that you can be relied upon to be trustworthy. On the other hand, dishonesty is all about shade and concealment and living your life in dark corners. When youre dishonest, it means that you remain living in the dark and cannot grow spiritually. Honesty produces trust-trust in ourselves and in all those around us. Trust in turn produces confidence which we all need to overcome lifes problems and which also encourages us to take risks in order to achieve our goals. Youll have no doubt you have heard expressions such as what goes around, comes around and you get back, what you give out in life and thats very true. If you dont live your lives honestly, you can be assured that the people youll attract will turn out to be very similar to you and its therefore unavoidable that one day you11 be on the receiving end of someones dishonest actions or words. There may be situations where telling the whole truth causes you to bring a lot of pain on somebody else. For example,John may have told Paul that he cant go on a weekend fishing trip with him because he has a family commitment arranged that weekend. You know differently and that the real reason John isnt going is because he hates Paul.When Paul asks you if you know whether the reason is true, what do you say? Well, in situations like this, its often better to be economical with the truth. You might say that you dont know why John cant go or that you think he has something on that weekend. Of course, this isnt telling the complete truth but you are sparing Pauls feelings on something that wont, after all, have strong influence on Pauls future.28. What does the writer mainly want to tell us in this passage? A. We should be economical with the truth. B. People can gain from dishonesty.C. Honesty helps you develop. D. Trust produces confidence.29. If you want to grow spiritually, it is best for you to_. A. follow your destination B. be true to yourself C. plan your personal development D. accept honest people as friends30. The passage tells us that if you choose to live a dishonest life, you will_. A. suffer from dishonesty B. become very attractive C. influence honest people D. have attractive friends31. The example in the last paragraph is used to prove that_. A. we should always tell the truth B. John is not a trustworthy person C. telling lies causes pain on someone else D. sometimes we cant be completely honestD Technological change is everywhere and affects every aspect of life, mostly for the better. However, social changes are brought about by new technology are often mistaken for a change in attitudes.An example at hand is the involvement of parents in the lives of their children who are attending college. Surveys on this topic suggests that parents today continue to be “very” or “somewhat” overly-protective even after their children move into college dormitories. The same surveys also indicate that the rate of parental involvement is greater today than it was a generation ago. This is usually interpreted as a sign that todays parents are trying to manage their childrens lives past the point where this behavior is appropriate.However, greater parental involvement does not necessarily indicate that parents are failing to let go of their “adult” children.In the context (背景) of this discussion, it seems valuable to first find out the cause of change in the case of parents involvement with their grown children. If parents of earlier generations had wanted to be in touch with their college-age children frequently, would this have been possible? Probably not. On the other hand, does the possibility of frequent communication today mean that the urge to do so wasnt present a generation ago? Many studies show that older parents - todays grandparents - would have called their children more often if the means and cost of doing so had not been a barrier.Furthermore, studies show that finances are the most frequent subject of communication between parents and their college children. The fact that college students are financially dependent on their parents is nothing new; nor are requests for more money to be sent from home. This phenomenon is neither good nor bad; it is a fact of college life, today and in the past.Thanks to the advanced technology, we live in an age of bettered communication. This has many implications well beyond the role that parents seem to play in the lives of their children who have left for college. But it is useful to bear in mind that all such changes come from the technology and not some imagined desire by parents to keep their children under their wings.32. The underlined word interpreted in the second paragraph means_.A. understood B. translated C. performed D. written33. What is the writers opinion about the involvement of parents in the lives of their children?A. parents in the past are less protective than those todayB. new technology has more disadvantages than advantagesC. parents changed attitudes lead to college childrens delayed independence D. greater parental involvement with their children results from technology34. What is the best title for the passage?A. Technology or Attitude B. Dependence or IndependenceC. Family Influence or Social Changes D. College Management or Communication Advancement35. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in this passage? 第2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。How to Make Small TalkTheres nothing small about small talk.

She would 41 down and push my long hair out of the way, and then kiss my forehead. I dont remember when it first started 42 me-her hands pushing my hair that way, for they felt work-worn and rough 43 my young skin. Finally, one night, I shouted out at her,“Dont do that any more-your hands are too rough!” she made no 44 and left quietly. But never again did my mother do it with that familiar expression of her 45 .With the passing years, my 46 returned to that night time after time.
