Her training to fly on a Russian Soyuz capsule began last fall.Brightman has planned to be the first professional musician to sing from space. But she faces competition from Lady Gaga, who, according to media reports late last year, intends to be the first when she performs one song in space in early 2015 on a Virgin Galactic flight. Virgin Galactic, part of Richard Bransons Virgin Group, plans to offer suborbital(亚轨道的) space flights.Brightman said in 2012 that she would travel to the space station, but her plans havent been confirmed until now. So far, Space Adventures has arranged for nine private missions to the space station, a $ 100 billion research laboratory that flies about 260 miles above the earth. Microsoft co-founder Charles Simonyi made two trips.Brightman will be the first private citizen to visit the station since Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Lalibarte paid about $ 35 million for an 11-day stay in September 2009.Google co-founder Sergey Brin has an option to fly on the next available Soyuz seat after Brightman, which most likely will be in 2017, Shelley told Reuters.24. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To praise Brightman. B. To persuade the readers that Brightman is more famous than Lady Gaga. C. To instruct the readers how to begin a space flight. D. To give some information about Brightman. 25. When did Brightman start training for her space travel? A. Last winter. B. Last autumn. C. Next spring. D. Next summer.26.

A. in time order B. in space orderC. by giving examples D. by comparisonCEreading and ebooks are slowly conquering the world. Compared to traditional paper books，ebooks in some schools and universities attract more interest because the information flow seems much easier to manage and comes in a greatly higher quantity.Japan is known for the reformminded attitude towards the gadget(精巧装置) world and for the fact that it is one of the first countries that encouraged in the educational system the emailing of homework.The digital textbook looks like the logical step in the world of learning. It is natural but it is also completely untraditional.The plan of the largest publishing companies to get in line with the trend is to save a large quantity of paper and make the kids become interested in learning using a cool gadget. Many USA universities and colleges have made students be used to the procedure of downloading the courses and of course the procedure involves interactive software and also the chance of using the computer.The traditional education system is still unwilling when it comes to giving up books. The standard approach of information taught out of a book and Shakespeare read out of an old school novel makes studying English as traditional as it can be.In a world where kids would rather see the movie than read a book，the digital age has brought along a completely different flavor to reading. Bringing that flavor in school will make teaching a greener and also a completely different matter.28Why are ebooks so popular in the world?AIts cheap to buy. BIts effective to use.CIts convenient to bring. DIts the latest fashion.29Which of the following words can best take the place of the word “reformminded” in the second paragraph?AOldfashioned. BAggressive.CRejecting. DProgressive.30In America，the students are encouraged to_Aapply the procedure of downloading the coursesBcommunicate with their teachers using computerCresearch some interactive software for their studiesDdo their homework in computer instead of in paper31Whats the authors attitude to the digital textbooks?ABeing against. BBeing for. CNot mentioned. DBeing neutral.DOne of the greatest sources of unhappiness, in my experience, is the difficulty we have in accepting things as they are.When we see something we dont like, we wish it could be different. We cry out for something better. That may be human nature, or perhaps its something ingrained（根深蒂固的）in our culture. The root of the unhappiness isnt necessarily that we want things to be different. However, its that we decided we didnt like it in the first place. Weve judged it as bad, rather than saying, “its not bad or good, and it just is it.”In one of my books, I said “You should expect people to mess up and expect things to go differently than you planned”. Some readers said its too sorrowful to expect things to go wrong. However, its only negative if you see it as negative and judge it as bad. Instead, you could accept it as the way the world works and try to understand why that is.This can be applied to whatever you do: how other people act at work, how politics works and how depressing the news media can be. Accept these things as they are, and try to understand why theyre that way. It will save you a lot of sadness, because youll no longer say, “Oh, I wish bad things didnt happen!”Does it mean you can never change things? Not at all. But change things not because you cant accept things as they are, but because you enjoy the process of changing, learning and growing.Can we make this world a better place? You can say that youll continue to try to do things to help others, to grow as a person, to make a difference in this world. Thats the correct path you choose to take, because you enjoy that path. Therefore, when you find yourself judging and wishing for difference, try a different approach: accept and understand. It might lead to some interesting results.32. The author believes that we feel unhappy maybe because _.A. it is our natural emotion in the lifeB. culture asks us to be different from othersC. everyone has their own opinions on thingsD. we dislike something in the beginning33. Some readers think the words in the authors book is too _.A. depressingB. frighteningC. delightingD. idealistic34. In Paragraph 4, the underlined word “it” refers to _.A. acting well at work and in politicsB. feeling depressed for the news mediaC. accepting and understanding what has happenedD. saying something negative when bad things come35. What is the best title of the passage?A. Expecting things to be different gives us hopeB. Accepting can make our life happier and betterC. Traditional culture becomes root of unhappinessD. Judging good or bad is important for our world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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。Our mood may change suddenly like a storm with lightning and thunderbolts that comes without notice.

Exceptions(例外) to this rule of course are cases where there are other problems such as depression or any other mental destruction.How to improve your mood _36_When you understand that you are not feeling happy but you are in depression or disappointment, then you can use these simple techniques that will be able to change the negative situation and improve your mood. _37_.
