a.they died of the same disease.b.they had a bad childhoodc. they read many books. d.they showed strong interest in poetry26.while pursuing his dream of becoming a poet at first, john keats was _. a.determinedb.experiencedc.knowledgeabled.impatient27.what do we know from the passage? a.keats received little education at school.b.keats once had a chance of becoming a doctor.c.in 1816 keats spent two months writing a poem.d.endymion was about a real love story.conce when i was facing a decision that involved high risk, i went to a friend. he looked at me for a moment, and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice ive ever had: be bold and braveand mighty(强大的)forces will come to your aid.those words made me see clearly that when i had fallen short in the past, it was seldom because i had tried and failed. it was usually because i had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. on the other hand, whenever i had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, i had always been able to swim until i got my feet on the ground again.boldness means a decision to bite off more than you are sure you can eat. and there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. they are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgment, creative ideaseven physical strength greater than most of us realize.admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. but they are more important than physical ones. a college classmate of mine, tim, was an excellent football player, even though he weighed much less than the average player.“in one game i suddenly found myself confronting a huge player, who had nothing but me between him and our goal line,” said tim.“i was so frightened that i closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet(子弹)and stopped him cold.”boldnessa willingness to extend yourself to the extremeis not one that can be acquired overnight. but it can be taught to children and developed in adults. confidence builds up. surely, there will be setbacks(挫折)and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee of success. but the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds.so,always try to live a little bit beyond your abilitiesand youll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed.28.why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past? a.he faced huge risks. b.he lacked mighty forces.c.fear prevented him from trying. d.failure blocked his way to success.29.what is the implied meaning of the underlined part? a.swallow more than you can digest. b.develop more mysterious powers.c.act slightly above your abilities. d. learn to make creative decisions.30.what can be learned from paragraph 5? a.confidence grows more rapidly in adults. b.boldness can be gained little by little.c.repeated failure creates a better life. d.trying without success is meaningless.31.what is the authors purpose in writing this passage? a.to encourage people to be courageous.b.to advise people to build up physical power.c.to tell people the ways to guarantee success.d.to recommend people to develop more abilities.deveryone knows that death is natural, but do you have any idea of the process of dying? modern scientists divide the process of dying into two phases-clinical or temporary death and biological death. clinical death occurs when the vital organs, such as the heart or lungs, have ceased to function, but have not suffered permanent damage. the organism can still be revived(复活). biological death occurs when changes in the organism lead to the “breaking up” of vital cells and tissues. death is then unchangeable and final.scientists have been seeking a way to prolong the period of clinical death so that the organism can remain alive before biological death occurs. the best method developed so far involves cooling of the organism, combined with narcotic sleep. by slowing down the bodys metabolism(新陈代谢), cooling delays the processes leading to biological death.to illustrate how this works, scientists performed an experiment on a six-year-old female monkey called keta. the scientist put keta to sleep with a narcotic. then they surrounded her body with ice-bags and began checking her body temperature. when it had dropped to 28 degrees the scientists began draining blood from an artery. the monkeys blood pressure decreased and an hour later both the heart and breathing stopped: clinical death set in. for twenty minutes keta remained in this state. her temperature dropped to 22 degrees. at this point the scientists pumped blood into an artery in the direction of the heart and started artificial breathing. after two minutes ketas heart became active once more. after fifteen minutes, spontaneous(自发的)breathing began, and after four hours keta opened her eyes and lifted her head. after six hours, when the scientists tried to give her a penicillin injection, keta seized the syringe and ran with it around the room. her behavior differed little from that of a healthy animal.32.for a person who suffers from the clinical death _ a.he is still very much alive. b.he can not avoid final death. c.his most important organs are damaged. d.he still has the possibility of getting back to life.33. scientists try to make the time of clinical death longer in order to _ a.cool the organism. b.delay the coming of biological death. c.slow down the bodys metabolism. d.bring vital cells and tissues back to active life.34.how did the scientists put keta into clinical death? a.by putting her to sleep, lowering her temperature and draining her blood. b.by surrounding her body with ice-bags and draining her blood. c.by lowing her blood pressure and stopping her heart from beating. d.by draining her blood, lowering her blood pressure and stopping her breathing.35.all of the following indicate that the monkey has almost restored to her original physical state except the fact that _a.her heart beat again. b.she rejected a penicillin injection. c.she regained her normal breath. d.she acted as lively as a healthy monkey.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。 empathy last year，researchers from the university of michigan reported that empathy，the ability to understand other people，among college students had dropped sharply over the past 10 years. that could be because so many people have replaced face time with screen time，the researchers said. 36 jennifer freed，a codirector of a teen program，has another explanation.turn on the tv，and youre showered with news and reality shows full of people fighting，competing，and generally treating one another with no respect. 37 there are good reasons not to follow those bad examples.humans are socially related by nature. having relationships with other people is an important part of being human and having empathy is decisive to those relationships. researchers have also found that empathetic teenagers are more likely to have high selfrespect. 38empathy is also an indication of a good leader.in fact，freed says，many top companies report that empathy is one of the most important things they look for in new managers. 39 “academics are important.but if you dont have emotional （情感的） intelligence，you wont be as successful in work or in your love life，” she says. whats the best way to up your eq （情商）? for starters，let down your guard and really listen to others. 40 to really develop empathy，youd better volunteer at a nursing home or a hospital，join a club or a team that has a diverse membership，have a “sharing circle” with your family，or spend time caring for pets at an animal shelter. a. today，people spend more time alone and are less likely to join groups and clubs.b. “one doesnt develop empathy by having a lot of opinions and doing a lot of talking，” freed says. c. humans learn by example and most of the examples on it are anything but empathetic. d. empathy is a matter of learning how to understand someone else both what they think and how they feel. e. good social skills, including empathy, are a kind of “emotional intelligence” that will help you succeed in many areas of life. f. besides，empathy can be a cure for loneliness，sadness，anxiety，and fear. g. everyone is different，and levels of empathy differ from person to person. 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第1节 完形填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。fouryearold cris lived with his cruel father，who beat him when he would not earn money to 41 his alcohol and drugs. cris could no longer 42 this kind of life and decided to run away from their home. he lived in an empty tomb and searched in the dump site for anything he could 43 to the junk store. there were also old shoes，clothes，and leftover food. he did this for days 44 with the money he earned，the clothes，shoes and the food，he would 45 all the small children to give them their 46 he used to say that he may be poor with 47 things but he is rich with love. he taught the kids how to clean their bodies and brush their teeth，and cleaned their 48 he had some 1，000 kids in this group. some of these kids decided to 49 with him to help in his work.about 10，000 kids had 50 from the group. it became known as the “championing community children”with the help of volunteers，they 51 in colorful boxes all the necessities of street children and gave these out at 52 times.cris had 53 to be a handsome，wellmannered 13yearold boy. his 54 to all the kids he met are 55 here. your wealth is your health. be healthy and you are able to thin
