He found a cold storage room in a building，set up a used typewriter and settled down to work. After a year or so，however，Alex began to doubt himself. He found it was difficult to earn his living by selling what he wrote. But Alex determined to put his dream to the testeven though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the shadowland of hope，and anyone with a dream must learn to live there. One day Alex got a call，“We need an assistant，and were paying $6,000 a year.”$6,000 was real money in 1960.It would enable Alex to get a nice apartment，a used car and more. Besides，he could write in his spare time. As the dollars were dancing in Alexs head，something cleared his senses. He had dreamed of being a writer fulltime.“Thanks，but no，”Alex said firmly and swiftly.“Im going to stick it out and write.” After Alex got off the phone，he pulled out everything he had：two cans of vegetables and 18 cents. Alex put the cans and cents into a paper bag，saying to himself，“Theres everything youve made of yourself so far. Im not sure I ever felt so low.” Finally his work was published in 1970.Instantly he had the kind of fame and success that few writers ever experienced. The shadows had turned into focus of attention. Then one day，Alex found a box filled with things he had owned years before. Inside was a paper bag with two cans and 18 cents. Suddenly he pictured himself working in that cold storage room. It reminds Alex，and anyone with a dream，of the courage and persistence(坚毅)it takes to stay the course in the shadowland. 24. Why did Alex give up his job? A. Because he didnt like the working conditions. B. Because he couldnt earn enough to make a living. C. Because he wanted to be a fulltime writer. D. Because he felt he had no potential in his job. 25. What did Alex express when he answered the call? A. He refused the job offer. B. He was willing to give them a hand. C. He expected them to pay him more money. D. He would write in his spare time. 26. What kind of person is Alex? A. Determined. B. Modest. C. Shy. D. Humorous. 27. Which of the following can summarize the passage best? A. Look before you leap. B. Two heads are better than one. C. Hold on to your dream，and it will come true. D. A bird in hand is worth two in the bush.C Along the river banks of the Amazon and the Orinoco there lives a bird that swims before it can fly, flies like a fat chicken, eats green leaves, has the stomach of a cow and has claws(爪)on its wings when young .They build their homes about 4.6m above the river, an important feature(特征)for the safety of the young. It is called the hoatzin. In appearance, the birds of both sexes look very much alike with brown on the back and cream and red on the underside .The head is small, with a large set of feathers on the top, bright red eyes, and blue skin. Its nearest relatives are the common birds, cuckoos. Its most striking feature, though, is only found in the young. Baby hoatzins have a claw on the leading edge of each wing and another at the end of each wing tip .Using these four claws, together with the beak(喙), they can climb about in the bushes, looking very much like primitive birds must have done. When the young hoatzins have learned to fly, they lose their claws. During the drier months between December and March hoatzins fly about the forest in groups of 20 to 30 birds, but in April, when the rainy season begins, they collect together in smaller living units of two to seven birds for producing purposes. 28. What is the text mainly about? A. Hoatzins in dry and rainy seasons. B. The relatives and enemies of hoatzins. C. Primitive birds and hoatzins of the Amazon. D. The appearance and living habits of hoatzins. 29. Young hoatzins are different from their parents in that A. they look like young cuckoos B. they have claws on the wings C. they eat a lot like a cow D. they live on river banks 30. What can we infer about primitive birds from the text? A. They had claws to help them climb. B. They could fly long distances. C. They had four wings like hoatzins. D. They had a head with long feathers on the top. 31. Why do hoatzins collect together in smaller groups when the rainy season comes? A. To find more food. B. To protect themselves better. C. To keep themselves warm. D. To produce their young.D Looking for a new weight loss plan？Try living on the top of a mountain. Mountain air contains less oxygen than air at lower altitudes, so breathing it causes the heart to beat faster and the body to burn more energy. Studies have found that athletes training at high altitudes tend to lose weight. Doctor Florian Lippl in Germany wondered how the mountain air would affect obese individuals if they werent doing any more physical activity than usual. Lippl and his colleagues invited 20 obese men to an environmental research station about 300 meters below the summit of Zugspitze, a mountain around 2,970 meters near the Austrian border. This was no hiking expedition. They were allowed to eat as much as they liked. The men also gave blood so that researchers could test for hormones(荷尔蒙)linked to appetite and obesity. At the end of the week, the men, whose weight starting out was 105 kilograms，had lost about 1.5 kg on average. The mens blood pressure also dropped, which the researchers owed to weight lost. Exactly what caused the weight loss is uncertain. Loss of appetite is common at higher altitudes，and indeed the men ate significantly less than usualabout 700 calories fewer per day.Appetite loss at high altitudes could certainly be key, notes Damian Bailey, a physiologist, who himself recently lost 11 kg during a 3month expedition to the Andes in Chile. Lippl says halfjokingly, “If obese people plan their holidays, they might not go to the sea, but maybe to the mountains.” 32. The underlined word “obese” in the first paragraph probably means “_” A. unhealthy B. swollen C. very fat D. weighty 33. Hormones were tested in the research because they could affect _. A. ones body weight B. ones blood pressure C. ones way of living D. ones heartbeating rate 34. What was found about the 20 obese men in the process of the research? A. They controlled what to eat. B. They took in fewer calories than usual. C. They lost appetite because of lack of physical activities. D. They were provided with a healthier diet than before. 35. Why does Damian Bailey agree with the idea of appetite loss at high altitudes? A. He experimented with the new weight loss plan in the Andes. B. He found no other reasons for his loss of weight in the Andes. C. He researched the related subject in the Andes. D. He lost much weight in the high altitude of the Andes.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。 Taking good notes is a time-saving skill that will help you to become a better student in several ways 36 .
