There are only a few men in all of the history, who have changed the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric light. But Edison could never be happy only because someone said he was a genius. “There is no such thing as genius,” Edison said. He said that what people called genius was mostly hard work.But Edison was a dreamer as well as a worker. From his earliest days as a child he wondered about the secrets of nature. Nature, he often said, is full of secrets. He tried to understand them; then, he tried to learn what could usefully be done with them.Edison enjoyed thinking. He knew that most people will do almost anything instead of the difficult work of thinking, especially if they do not think very often. But he knew, too, that thinking can give men enjoyment and pleasure.Edison could not understand how anyone could be uninterested in life. As he loved to think, he also loved to work. On the day he became 75 years old, someone asked him what ideas he had about life. “Work,” he answered. “Discovering the secrets of nature and using them to make men happier.” He said he had enough inventions in his mind to give him another 100 years of work.24Edison thought _.Ahe could be happy if he was a geniusBgenius plays the most important part in ones successChard work could do better than geniusDgenius could do better than hard work25Edison was _.Avery much interested in natureBinterested in discovering the secrets of natureCinterested in changing peoples ideasDuninterested in making people happier by discovering the secrets of nature26In Edisons opinion, _.Athinking can supply people with enjoyment and pleasure as well as helpBpeoples success lies mostly in geniusChard work is the second important thing in making people successfulDthere are few secrets for him to discover later27The last sentence in the passage most probably implies _.Alife is too short for Edison to invent more for human beingsBEdison made 100 inventions in his lifeCEdison was able to live and work for 100 yearsDpeople of his time were ready to give Edison another 100 years workC When my best friend and I were teenagers, our favorite place to hang out was the Hallmark store. If we had money, we would choose a perfect card for each other and then share tears or smiles depending on what emotion the words expressed. In those coming years we developed a friendship built on sincere feelings and we often found comfort in the words of a Hallmark card. I think it is perhaps since those years that I have become a greeting card collector.The other day, while cleaning out the storage in my home, I came across the bag where I have kept greeting cards. They are the lasting messages that speak the meanings of my life. I pulled out a foolish-looking card. It has a stick drawing on the front that seems to be my portrait(肖像画), I laughed as I realized this is exactly how my oldest daughter saw her mum. Opening it up I saw a hand-drawn heart with eyes and a big smile. On the other side are some words “You are the best mum in the world!” This may be one card that Hallmark cards cannot compete with for it is a treasure more precious than gold. I cant go back to where Ive been but, from time to time, I can be taken into a welcomed memory trip.These are the Hallmark moments of our lives. Words from once upon a time inspire us to appreciate the people in our lives who mean so much. When we sometimes have doubts, or when the world treats us unfairly, the encouraging words are there in black and white, sometimes drawn in a homemade stick drawing with a heart-shaped smiling face standing out from the rest.Life is a Hallmark card when you care enough to send the very best.28What influence does the Hallmark card have on the author?AFinding her real hobby.BBecoming a greeting card donor.CGetting real friendship and comfort.DLearning to share the experience of making cards.29The author uses “a welcomed memory trip” in paragraph 2 to show that_.Ashe often remembers her past tripBthose cards are very meaningful for herCher daughters words moved her deeplyDdrawing herself on the cards is very meaningful30Why does the author think the words on the cards mean a lot?ABecause they make her full of thanks.BBecause they are written in different colors.CBecause they can help her overcome doubts.DBecause they always inform her of the card collector.31What can be the best title for the text?AWords on the cardsBCollecting greeting cards is a hobby.CLife is a Hallmark cardDMemory in the childhoodD Parents can cut the chances of their children getting fat simply by keeping them longer at table. Just three extra minutes at a family mealtime could help prevent child fatness. The reasons might lie in communication and the importance of a scheduled mealtime.Dr Barbara Fiese said, “Children, whose families have a 20-minute meal over four times a week, weigh lighter than kids who leave the table after15 to 17 minutes. Over time, those extra minutes per meal add up and become really powerful.”Researchers studied 200 family mealtimes, testing the influences of mealtime habits of families with children in primary school. They found that families, who said that shared mealtimes were an important part of family life and had special meaning for them, were less likely to have fat children. Similarly, families who talked more together and communicated more positively during the meal, were more likely to have healthy-weight children.Teaching families how to make full use of family mealtimes was a wise idea. “This is something we can do and teach. Its also important to recognize the increasing differences of families and their complex living schedules that may challenge(挑战) their abilities to plan ahead and set some time to communicate with each other,” said Dr Fiese.Families in poorer US neighborhoods faced more problems, including poor chances of getting healthy food. But even so, regular high quality family mealtimes made a difference to the childrens weight. Dr Fiese said, “Three to four extra minutes per meal will make a healthy weight more possible.”32How long is reasonable for a family mealtime according to the text?AAbout 10 minutes.BAbout 12 minutesCAbout 15 minutesDAbout 20 minutes.33Whats the advantage of a longer family mealtime according to the text?AChildren can better enjoy their meals.BChildren can have a good rest while eating.CChildren can communicate more during the time.DChildren can have more time to choose what they like.34What does the author want to show in paragraph3?AThe result of a study.BDifferent eating habits.CCauses of child fatness.DThe importance of normal eating35What can be the best title for the text?AMealtime talk helps to lose weightBHealthy food makes normal weighCPoorer families have thinner childrenDLonger family mealtimes help prevent child fatness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 Second, your notes are excellent materials to refer to when you are studying for a test.
