Two holidays take place in April.BJohnny Jennings is 86 years old, but he first visited the Georgia Baptist Childrens Home when he was 18, and the visit changed his life forever.A child ran up to Jennings, begging to be adopted, and it was at that moment that Jennings realized his lifes mission. From that day forward, Jennings did everything he could to help, and that turned out to be quite a lot. Since he wasnt ready to adopt a child of his own, he decided to contribute financially. Since he wasnt wealthy, he did so by collecting paper and aluminum (铝) products and cashing them in for money. That may not sound like it would amount to much, but Jennings has donated more than US$400,000 over the past 30 years. Thats a lot of paper products.Over those 30 years Jennings has become a cornerstone of the childrens home.But how does he get all that paper? Now that people know about his efforts, the paper pretty much comes to him. People drop it off at his house after collecting it through churches, organizations or in their own lives. Jennings also collected pennies, and as they say: A penny saved is a penny earned. Well, hes saved 24 miles worth of pennies. Its the truth. “84,480 is a mile of pennies,”Jennings said. “We finished 24 miles. We had most people from church collecting pennies.” Each and every mile was a donation to the church.One of Jennings favorite events is the churchs annual meeting, which is when he presents his check each year. During this time, the kids who live in the childrens home are also in attendance and he loves the opportunity to spend time with them. Jennings has served on the board for 45-year terms. “Ive been a trustee for 20 years,” Jennings said. “Im just part of the family.” And what a special family it is, thanks in large part to Johnny Jennings.24. What made Johnny Jennings determined to help the children?A. A child begged to be adopted by him.B. He wanted to stay with the children.C. He had enough money to afford the cost.D. The environment of the childrens home was very bad.25. Which words can best describe Johnny Jennings? A. Economical and positive. B. Brave and intelligent.C. Warm and patient.D. Kind and persistent.26. What is the meaning of the underlined word “cornerstone”?A. Volunteer.B. Winner.C. Supporter.D. Leader.27. What is the main idea of the passage?A. A penny saved is a penny earned.B. Many children are adopted by an old man.C. An old man makes contributions to a childrens home.D. Many people help an old man collect paper products.CCan you be too beautiful? It is hardly a problem that most of us have to bother as much as we might like to dream that it were the case.Yet the blessings and curses of beauty have been a long-standing interest in psychology. Do those blessed with shiny faces and an attractive body live in a cloud of appreciation or does it sometimes pay to be ordinary?At the most basic level, beauty might be thought to carry a kind of halo (光环) around it; we see that someone has one good quality, and by association, our deep mind may assume that they have other good ones too. Even in the courts, a pleasing appearance can work its magic. Attractive criminals are likely to get less strict sentences, or to escape punishment entirely; attractive plaintiffs (原告), meanwhile, are more likely to win their case and get bigger financial settlements. “Its an effect seen everywhere,” says Walker.But if beauty pays in most circumstances, there are still situations where it can have opposite results. While attractive men may be considered better leaders, for instance, hidden sexist prejudices (偏见) can work against attractive women, making them less likely to be hired for high-level jobs that require power. And as you might expect, good-looking people of both sexes run into envy one study found that if you are interviewed by someone of the same sex, they may be less likely to employ you if they judge that you are more attractive than they are.More worryingly, being beautiful or handsome could harm your medical care. We tend to link good looks to health, meaning that illnesses are often taken less seriously when they affect the good-looking. When treating people for pain, for instance, doctors tend to take less care over the more attractive people.Ultimately, scientists point out that focusing too much on your appearance can itself be harmful if it creates stress and anxiety even for those already blessed with good looks. “If you are crazy about attractiveness, it may affect your experience and interactions,” she says. Its an outdated saying, but no amount of beauty can make up for a bad personality. As the writer Dorothy Parker put it so elegantly: “Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone.”28.From paragraph 1, we can learn that _.A. some may be bothered by their unattractive appearanceB. most people are not afraid of being too beautifulC. we might always dream about being bothered by othersD. being too beautiful can be a problem bothering everyone29.Which is the benefit for beautiful people?A. All attractive plaintiffs have more chances to get away with punishment.B. Women with pleasing appearance will always be considered as better leaders.C. Good-looking people are often regarded as having many good qualities.D. Beautiful criminals are more likely to persuade the judge and win the case.30.The writer mentioned the underlined sentence in the last paragraph to _.A. persuade us to pay more attention to our looks from now onB. suggest that beauty can help make a better personalityC. encourage us to focus more on improving our personality D. ask ugly people to have more confidence in their personality31.What might be the best title for the passage?A. Real BeautyB. Sexist Prejudice C. Benefits Beauty HoldsD. Beauty, a Blessing?DReintroducing beavers (海狸) to Britain could help clean up rivers, prevent flooding and minimise soil loss, an expert has claimed.Professor Richard Brazier, a researcher at the University of Exeter, said unpublished results from a trial area in Devon showed muddy water entering an area where beavers were living was three times cleaner when it left. “Our trial has shown that the beavers are able to dam our streams in a way that keeps soil in the headwaters of our catchment (流域) so it doesnt block up rivers downstream and pollute our drinking and bathing waters. If we bring beavers back its just one tool we need to solve Britains crisis of soil loss and agricultural pollution of waterways, but its a useful tool,” he said.Prof Braziers claims were disputed by the National Farmers Union (NFU), which warned that the reintroduction of beavers to Scotland had led to fields and forests becoming damaged. Spokesman Mark Pope said: “The knowledge of the impacts beavers have had on farmland, riverbanks and flood defences in Scotland is concerning. We await the results of the Devon trial and will analyse the outcomes then.”Prof Brazier, an expert in Earth Surface Processes, insisted the animals could even play a useful role in preventing flooding. He told BBC News: “The public is currently paying people to build leaky dams to keep storm waters in the uplands. The beavers can do it free of charge and even build their own homes.”However, Professor Jane Rickson, a soil specialist from Cranfield University, Bedfordshire, joined the NFU in sounding a note of caution. She agreed that in some places in the UK there was evidence of worrying soil loss, and said new policies were urgently needed. Beavers may in fact reduce the river channel and remove vegetation, exposing banks to greater erosion (侵蚀) and increasing, rather than decreasing, the risk of flooding, she warned. And she said beaver dams should be “leaky” to avoid build-ups of large volumes of water. 32. How do beavers help clean up rivers, prevent flooding and minimise soil loss?A. By building dams in their own way.B. By protecting the forests or fields.C. By building their own homes in the riverbank.D. By damaging their dams to avoid build-ups of large volumes of water.33. What can we learn from the passage?A. Beavers cant clean up rivers.B. Mark Pope supports Professor Richard Brazier.C. The scientists havent decided to introduce beavers.D. Beavers have positive effects on agriculture.34. Professor Jane Rickson didnt agree with Professor Richard Brazier because she thought that_.A. beaver dams are not leakyB. beavers couldnt decrease the risk of floodingC. it would take a lot of time to introduce beaversD. the environment problems were extremely serious35. In which section of a website can you most probably find this passage?A. Technology. B. Environment. C. Education. D. Culture.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。（如果所用的答题卡没有E、F、G选项，则选E涂A、B，选F涂A、C，选G涂A、D。）Sticking to your bodys natural sleep-wake cycle is one of the most important strategies for achieving good sleep.

This way allows you to pay off your sleep debt with disturbing your natural sleep-wake rhythm.Be smart about napping.

About seven years ago, I started learning how to paint as a 41 . I was pretty terrible. Everything looked 42 , and my colors were totally off. My friends and colleagues suggested that I stop 43 my time on something I wasnt good at. “ 44 on your day job,” they said. I kept at it practicing, taking classes, finding the right 45 who could guide and challenge me. I am now 46 “good”. Today, the same friends say I was born with this 47 . The same thing 48 when I started piano and singing lessons a couple of years ago. Comments shifted from, “Stop wasting your time and focus on what you know,” to “Youve got a musical gene.” These 49 originate from long-held beliefs that growth is usually not possible for adults. Even when there is evidence of learning, it can be 50 to inborn talent. Most scientific studies on adulthood focus on cognitive (认知) decline, rather than 51 , suggesting that even scientists may think that development is limited in adulthood. A few recent studies suggest that 52 new skills, such as photography, for even three month
