Recently, the American star won Best Actress at Academy Awards for her role in the film The Silver Linings Playbook. According to Time magazines Richard Corliss, Lawrence is that rare young actress who “lends a mature intelligence to any ro1e”. Though Lawrence has found great success through her big screen work, Lawrence wasnt sure what she really liked doing before the age of l4. She thought shed go to college and may be find a career as a doctor or a travel agent.Lawrences two brothers were star athletes and one of them was a straight-A student. Unlike them, she suffered through school, never quite finding where she belonged. However, during a trip to New York, Lawrence suddenly realized that she wanted to be an actress. When she was enjoying the beautiful city, a model seeker asked if he could take her picture, and the next day he called her in for an audition(试镜).“I read the play and it was the first time I had that feeling like I understand this.” Lawrence said. “Within 20 minutes, in the cab ride from the hotel room, I decided I didnt want to be a model. In fact, I wanted to be an actress.” Having appreciated this young ladys performance, the agency was so impressed with her reading that they signed her on the spot. But she insisted on finishing high school so she could give her full attention to her acting career.Lawrence burst onto the Hollywood scene with The Hunger Games, which established her as the highest box office female action hero of all time. Rolling Stone called her “the most talented young actress in America”.24. What can we know about Jennifer Lawrence from Paragraph 2?A. Her parents were really strict with her.B. Her school performance made her todays reputation.C. She seemed not to fit in with her school days well.D. Her two brothers were doing well in all school subjects.25. Lawrence made up her mind to be an actress because of _. A. her brothers examples B. a model interview C. the taxi-ride to her hotel room D. the beautiful scenery of New York26. What is the best title of the text? A. Winning Young B. Acting Wisely C. Choosing Early D.Following DreamsCMany people think that listening is a passive business. It is just the opposite. Listening well is an active exercise of our attention and hard work. It is because they do not realize this, or because they are not willing to do the work, that most people do not listen well.Listening well also requires total concentration upon someone else. An essential part of listening well is the rule known as bracketing. Bracketing includes the temporary giving up or setting aside of your own prejudices and desires, to experience as far as possible someone elses world from the inside, stepping into his or her shoes. Moreover, since listening well involves bracketing, it also involves a temporary acceptance of the other person. Sensing this acceptance, the speaker will seem quite willing to open up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener. True communication is under way. The energy required for listening well is so great that it can be accomplished only by the will to extend oneself for mutual growth.Most of the time we lack this energy. Even though we may feel in our business dealings or social relationships that we are listening well, what we are usually doing is listening selectively. Often we have a prepared list in mind and wonder, as we listen, how we can achieve certain desired results to get the conversation over as quickly as possible or redirected in ways more satisfactory to us. Many of us are far more interested in talking than in listening, or we simply refuse to listen to what we dont want to hear.It wasnt until toward the end of my doctor career that I have found the knowledge that one is being truly listened to is frequently therapeutic(有疗效的) . In about a quarter of the patients I saw, surprising improvement was shown during the first few months of psychotherapy(心理疗法), before any of the roots of problems had been uncovered or explained. There are several reasons for this phenomenon, but chief among them, I believe, was the patients sense that he or she was being truly listened to, often for the first time in years, and for some, perhaps for the first time ever.27.The phrase “stepping into his or her shoes” in Paragraph 2 probably means _.A. preparing a topic list firstB. focusing on ones own mindC. directing the talk to the desired resultsD. experiencing the speakers inside world28.What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2 ?A. How to listen well.B. What to listen to.C. Benefits of listening.D. Problems in listening.29.According to the author , in communication people tend to _.A. listen activelyB. listen purposefullyC. set aside their prejudicesD. open up their inner mind30.According to the author, the patients improved mainly because _.A. they were taken good care ofB. they knew they were truly listened toC. they had partners to talk to D. they knew the roots of problems31.What type of writing is the article likely to be?A. Science fiction.B. A news report. C. A medical report.D. Popular science.D People all over the world remember Jane Austen. Why? It is because Jane Austen is the author of some of the best-loved novels in the English language. These novels include Emma, Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility and Persuasion.Jane completed her last novel Persuasion in 1816, but it was not published until after her death. Persuasion is partly based on Janes naval brother.Anne, the daughter of Sir Walter Elliot, falls in love with Captain Wentworth, a person of a lower social position. But she breaks off the engagement when persuaded by her friend Lady Russell that such a match is unworthy. The breakup produces in Anne a deep and long-lasting regret. Eight years later, Wentworth returns from sea a rich and successful captain. He finds Annes family on the edge of financial ruin. Anne and the captain rediscover their love and get married.Jane Austen once compared her writing to painting on a little bit of ivory（象牙）, two inches square. Readers of Persuasion will see that neither her skill of delicate, ironic(讽刺的) observations on social custom, love, and marriage nor her ability to apply a sharp focus to English manners and morals has abandoned her in her final finished work.Persuasion has produced three film adaptations: a 1995 version starring Amanda Root and Ciaran Hinds, a 2007 TV miniseries with Sally Hawkins and Rupert Penry-Jones, and a 1971 miniseries with Ann Firbank and Bryan Marshall.People who are interested in Jane Austen can still visit many of the places she visited and lived. These places include the village of Steventon, although her family house is now gone. Many of the places Jane visited in Bath are still there. You can visit Jane Austens home in Chawton, where she did her best writing, and Winchester, where she died. 32.What is the theme of Persuasion?A. Never regret what youve chosen.B. True love lasts forever.C. Be matched for marriage.D. Love waits for no man.33.Which of the following CANNOT describe Janes writing style?A. Her application of symbolism.B. Her delicate observations.C. Her focus on manners and morals.D. Her use of irony.34.Which of the following about Jane Austen is TRUE?A. Her family house is now in the village of Steventon.B. Many of the places she visited in Bath are still available.C. The latest film adaptation of Persuasion was produced in 1995.D. Her last novel Persuasion is considered her most successful one.35.The article mainly talks about _.A. Jane Austens unique writing styleB. the original residence of Jane Austen C. Jane Austens last novel: PersuasionD. the popularity of Jane Austens novels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。What Teenagers Can Do To Earn More Respect As teenagers continue to grow and develop into young adults,the transition into adulthood has begun.
