Meeting Dan changed everything. Early in our dating, he told me of his dream to own a farm.“Dont cows kick?” I worried when I saw the huge cattle. Dan laughed. “Dont be afraid,” he said. “Just try milking a few times a day. Youll get used to them.” After six months, I still was too nervous to try it.One evening I heard the low mooing of the cows in their lot. Then I heard the cows again, but louder. I looked out of the window. A storm was coming. Suddenly I saw a cow running past the window. Another cow passed, and a third one moved into the yard. “Dan!” I shoutedthen remembered he had gone into town.I rushed back into the house and pulled on my coat. The noise had roused the children, and they called to me from upstairs. “Stay inside,” I shouted as I went out of the door, “no matter what!”I was running to the yard. Suddenly the hundred cows turned and were coming in my direction! Beside me there was an old gate leading into an empty lot. I threw myself against the gate. Got it! And all at once the cows entered the lot.When Dan got home, I told him the story. “You rescued a whole herd of cows!” Dan said. Lying in bed beside Dan, I felt safe and comfortable.The next time I went out into the lot, I felt a little bigger beside the cows. And it wasnt too long before I started milking.21. The writer was brave to start milking thanks to _.A. her childrens help B. a danger she experiencedC. her husbands encouragement D. getting on with the cows long22. What is the right order in which the writer story happened?a. She was married to Dan.b. She dreamed of a German dog.c. She saved a whole herd of cows.d. She and her husband began to run a farm.e. She was brave to start milking.f. A storm roused the herd of cattle.A. badfce B. cbdfae C. cbefda D. bcaefd23. The underlined sentence “I felt a little bigger beside the cows” shows the writer _.A. felt the cows grew a little biggerB. felt she was a bit bigger than the cowsC. was able to fight against the cows.D. was not as afraid of the cows as beforeBThe other day I heard a few local musicians talking:“I hate all the terrible pianos in this town. I hate that rubbish they play on the radio. They cant even understand a bit of music.”“ Im never playing in that club again. Too many drunks and nobody listens to us.”But one younger musician said, “There are a few clubs that book my band a few nights a month, and Im trying to find other places to play. Im also looking to book a few summer festivals this year.”Ive heard that you are the average of the five people whom you spend the most time with, or to put it another way, you are who your friends are.Attitudes are important. Whether theyre positive or negative, theyre rubbing off on you. If youre around people who complain about lack of work and about other musicians, or blame others, and you play the role of victim, chances are youll start to as well. So its time to take a look at the people you call “friends”.This is an easy exercise: Make a list of the people who you hang out with, and simply stop spending time with the negative people on your list. Set a new standard for yourself and dont become friends with people who fall below that standard.Keep successful people around you and your own chances for success will be much better. Ask them how they do it. Ask if they will help you get the work youre looking for, or maybe give you some advice to help you on your career path.24. The musicians words at the beginning are written mainly to show _.A. the musicians have a bad lifeB. people have poor taste in musicC. people have different attitudes towards the same thingD. young people have greater chances of succeeding25. The underlined sentence “theyre rubbing off on you” in Paragraph 6 means _.A. theyll push you aheadB. theyll influence youC. theyll discover your shortcomingsD. theyll help you achieve your goal26. From Paragraph 7, we can _.A. make more friendsB. know the right way of making friendsC. develop a better relationship with our friendsD. arrange the time with our friends properly27. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?A. You are who your friends areB. True friends have hearts that beat as oneC. A friend in need is a friend indeedD. Friends are thieves of timeCEverybody sleeps, but what people stay up late to catch or wake up early in order not to miss varies by culture？From data collected, it seems the things that cause us to lose the most sleep, on average, are sporting events, time changes, and holidays.Around the world, people changed sleep patterns thanks to the start or end of daylight savings time. Russians, for example, began to wake up about a half-hour later each day after President Vladimir Putin shifted the country permanently to winter time starting on October 26.Russias other late nights and early mornings generally correspond to public holidays. On New Years Eve, Russians have the worlds latest bedtime, hitting the hay at around 3:30 a. m.Russians also get up an hour later on International Womens Day, the day for treating and celebrating female relatives.Similarly, Americans late nights, late mornings, and longest sleeps fall on three-day weekends.Canada got the least sleep of the year the night it beat Sweden in the Olympic hockey (冰球) final.The World Cup is also chiefly responsible for sleep deprivation. The worst night for sleep in the U. K. was the night of the England-Italy match on June 14. Brits stayed up a half-hour later to watch it, and then they woke up earlier than usual the next morning thanks to summer nights, the phenomenon in which the sun barely sets in northern countries in the summertime. That was nothing, though, compared to Germans, Italians, and the French, who stayed up around an hour and a half later on various days throughout the summer to watch the Cup.It should be made clear that not everyone has a device to record their sleep patterns; in some of these nations, its likely that only the richest people do. And people who elect to track their sleep may try to get more sleep than the average person. Even if thats the case, though, the above findings are still striking. If the most health-conscious among us have such deep swings in our shut-eye levels throughout the year, how much sleep are the rest of us losing?28. What do we learn about the Russians regarding sleep?A. They dont fall asleep until very late. B. They dont sleep much on weekends.C. They sleep longer than people elsewhere. D. They get less sleep on public holidays.29. The underlined word “deprivation” in the last paragraph but one means _.A. depression B. loss C. observation D. trouble30. What is the most probable reason for some rich people to use a device to record their sleep patterns?A. They have trouble falling asleep. B. They are involved in a sleep research.C. They want to get sufficient sleep. D. They want to go to bed on regular hours.31. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?A. Sleeplessness does harm to peoples health.B. It is important to study our sleep patterns.C. Few people really know the importance of sleep.D. Average people probably sleep.DDiet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet We are surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically.Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale(秤) instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food labels.On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we dont have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients. Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemicals that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological harm that comes from using them.32. From Paragraph 1, we learn that _.A. diet products fail to bring out peoples potentialB. people have difficulty in choosing diet productsC. diet products are misleading peopleD. people are fed up with diet products33. One psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to _.A. try out a variety of diet foodsB. hesitate before they enjoy diet foodsC. pay attention to their own eating habitsD. watch their weight rather than their diet34. In Paragraph 3, “gain comes without pain” probably means _.A. losing weight is effortlessB. it costs a lot to lose weightC. diet products bring no painD. diet products are free from calories35. Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products _.A. are over-consumedB. lack basic nutrientsC. are short of chemicalsD. provide too much energy第二节:七选五(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。Creating a reader-friendly homeA home filled with reading material is a good way to help kids become enthusiastic readers.
