The President believed “the strenuous (精力充沛的) life”, as he called it, helped him to be a better person and a better President.The Presidents love for the strenuous life began when he was a boy growing up inNew York Cityin the 1860s. He was a sickly child and often ill. “Nobody seemed to think I would live,” Roosevelt recalled.Encouraged by his father, Roosevelt began lifting weights when he was 12 years old. The next year, Roosevelts mother took him to a gym for boxing (拳击) lessons. He described himself as “a painfully slow and awkward pupil.”But even though he had little ability, Roosevelt always showed a lot of interest in sports. He worked hard at exercising his body.Roosevelt stood 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighed 124 pounds as a freshman at Harvard College. A classmate described him as “a youth in the kindergarten stage of development.” Yet Roosevelt continued boxing, and in his junior year, he competed in Harvards annual boxing championship. He finished in second place.Roosevelt entered politics after college. In 1901, 42-year-old Roosevelt became the youngest President ever. And just because he was a world leader, he saw no reason to give up strenuous or risky sports.The President invited young military officers to the White House to box and wrestle (摔跤). In one boxing match, Roosevelts opponent (对手) hit him in the left eye, causing an injury that eventually blinded that eye. He kept the injury secret for many years.21. Roosevelts parents encouraged him to do exercise in order to _.A. change his bad habitsB. discover his athletic abilityC. strengthen his weak bodyD. build his strong character22. What Roosevelts college classmate described showed Roosevelt was very _.A. strong B. smart C. lazy D. small23. After Roosevelt became the President of the US, _.A. he preferred doing exercise in the morningsB. he had less time to keep fit at the White HouseC. few people knew he lost the sight of his left eyeD. he taught many officers how to box and wrestleBMany people believe that paper started with the ancient Egyptians. However, this is not exactly true. Instead, 5,000 years ago, Egyptians used a material called papyrus, which was made from the stems (茎) of river plants. They put these flat pieces together to create a larger flat sheet (薄片), on which Ancient Egyptians wrote like paper.But the paper we know today did not exist until 3,000 years later. It was created in China. No one knows who first invented paper. But history does tell us about one man who improved the process. It was in the year 105. A man named Cai Lun began to use many materials to make paper. He took the outer covering of a tree, pieces of net and cloth, broke these materials down into very small pieces and mixed them with water. Then he pressed out the water, and all that was left was a thin sheet of paper.Paper quickly spread to other areas of the world. In the Middle East, people made paper thicker and also made it easier to produce quickly. From the Middle East, paper travelled to Europe and then the Americas. For many years paper cost a lot of money and time to create. But in the 19th century, people began to create paper from wood. Paper changed the way people lived. Long ago, when paper was difficult to make, people only used paper for special purposes. Government officials would write important laws on it. Explorers drew maps of the world on it. But common people did not use it. As paper became easier to make, it was used for more things. People wrapped (包裹) it around gifts. Paper was also used as money. Today people use paper for even more things.24. According to the text, papyrus _.A. was made from cloth B. has a longer history than paper C. is difficult to produce D. was introduced to Egypt from China25. Paragraph 2 is mainly about _.A. how Cai Lun improved paperB. the long history of paper in ChinaC. why Cai Lun wanted to make paperD. the invention of the first piece of paper26. Whats the spreading route of paper?A. Asia the Americas Europe the Middle EastB. Asia Europe the Middle East the AmericasC. Asia the Middle East Europe the AmericasD. Asia the Middle East the Americas Europe 27. When it was first invented, paper _.A. could only be used by government officials B. was expensive and difficult to makeC. was sent to others as a giftD. was too thick to write onCGoogle, the leading company in self-driving technology, has completely renewed its development program. Previously, Google had cars built by other companies, but now it will start building its own cars. For the past four years, Googles technicians had been working on a way to return control to the human drivers steering wheel (方向盘) in a dangerous situation. However, Google now says that the switch from automation to human control will not be possible anytime soon. Googles heads realized that relying on a human that may be reading, working, or sleeping to take over in an emergency wouldnt work. So whats the solution? Google has started to build a series of 100 experimental electric cars that look like a Smart car or Fiat 500. The only difference? There is no steering wheel, gas pedal (油门) and brake (刹车). The only things a human passenger controls are a red “e-stop” button(按钮) for panic stops and a start button. The cars face is designed to make it seem friendly and help people accept self-driving technology. Google employees had taken part in a long experiment, in which they used self-driving vehicles to work every day. There were no crashes. This is a major change from competing self-driving projects. Mercedes Benz, BMW and Volvo have all developed some self-driving cars, but none completely eliminate the driver. For example, the Mercedes Benz cars will stop if the driver takes his hands off the wheel for over ten seconds. Google will limit its early cars to a top speed of 25 miles per hour for safety reasons. These cars are designed to drive in or around cities, not on highways. However, a Google engineer commented that once their safety has been proven, there will be no limit to the speed. In the near future, Googles self-driving cars may make our roads much safer, and of course drivers may feel more relaxed on the way.28. Unlike a Smart car, Googles electric cars _.A. can run not only on land but also under waterB. just offer two control buttons for a passengerC. are equipped with an unusual steering wheelD. are environmentally friendly and run faster 29. The underlined word “eliminate” in Paragraph 4 can best be replaced by “_”.A. train B. employC. remove D. frighten30. We can infer from the text that Google _.A. may bring about a big change in transportB. will change the top speed of cars completelyC. has made great progress in improving road safetyD. gives more attention to the experiences of drivers31. What would be the best title for the text?A. The future of Google SearchB. Crash testing & highway safetyC. How do self-driving cars work?D. Driverless cars: closer to realityD(CNN) The photograph of two men sharing a drink 30 meters below the water is part of an art project exploring the mysterious world of freediving a form of underwater diving(潜水) that depends on a divers ability to hold his or her breath until resurfacing instead of the use of oxygen tanks (氧气瓶).Each man, dressed in shirt, jeans and sunglasses, sits in a chair at the bottom of the Caribbean Sea with local sharks harmless to humans swimming just meters away. Of course, these arent ordinary men, but freedivers: extreme athletes who dive on a single breath of air.American photographer Lia Barrett had been taking pictures of brave divers competing at the Caribbean Cup off the coast of Honduras, when she decided to create a fantastic underwater world in which humans go about everyday tasks such as drinking coffee or riding bikes.“After the competitors had a great time in the new national and world records set at the competition, I took advantage of their breath-holding skills to do photo shoots I had only dreamed of before,” said the 29-year-old.Perhaps unsurprisingly, Barrett is often asked whether the amazing pictures are Photoshopped. She laughs quietly as she insists theyre 100% real.The picture of two men having coffee took 50 minutes to create, with the men receiving oxygen from standby assistants around every three minutes.“On the way back up, we were holding onto the table during our decompression (减压) stop in the strong current (水流) it was quite a scene.”The underwater models made an 11-minute stop on the way back to the surface, making sure they didnt rise too quickly and suffer decompression sickness which can cause deadly blackouts (眩晕).32. The photograph mentioned in the first paragraph _.A. has set a new world record B. aims to call on people to protect sharksC. realizes the photographer Barretts dreamD. is one activity of the Caribbean Cup33. The Caribbean Cup held off the coast of Honduras mainly shows competitors _.A. swimming skills B. Photoshop skillsC. photography skillsD. breath-holding skills34. Many people think the picture of two men having coffee below the water is _.A. not real B. not perfect C. not surprising D. not interesting35. Why did the two models make an 11-minute stop on the way back to the surface?A. To have more photographs taken.B. To enjoy the underwater world.C. To bring back the table.D. To avoid getting sick.第二节（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。 Food safety is a problem in all places around the world and people in different areas of the world prepare foods in different ways.
