He looked at me for a moment, and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice Ive ever had: Be bold and brave and mighty (强大的) forces will come to your aid. Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past, it was seldom because I had tried and failed. It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. On the other hand, whenever I had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again. Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you can eat. And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgment, creative ideas even physical strength greater than most of us realize. Admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. But they are more important than physical ones. A college classmate of mine, Tim, was an excellent football player, even though he weighed much less than the average player. “In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player, who had nothing but me between him and our goal line,” said Tim. “I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet and stopped him cold.” Boldness a willingness to extend yourself to the extremeis not one that can be acquired overnight. But it can be taught to children and developed in adults. Confidence builds up. Surely, there will be setbacks (挫折) and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee of success. But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds. So, always try to live a little bit beyond your abilitiesand youll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed.24. Why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past?A. He faced huge risks. B. He lacked mighty forces.C. Fear prevented him from trying. D. Failure blocked his way to success.25. What is the implied meaning of the underlined part?A. Swallow more than you can digest. B. Act slightly above your abilities.C. Develop more mysterious powers. D. Learn to make creative decisions.26. What was especially important for Tims successful defense in the football game?A. His physical strength. B. His basic skill. C. His real fear.D. His spiritual force.27. What is the authors purpose in writing this passage?A. To encourage people to be courageous. B. To advise people to build up physical power.C. To tell people the ways to guarantee success. D. To recommend people to develop more abilities.CAn absolute description of the threat hanging over the worlds mammals, reptiles, amphibians and other life forms has been published by the well-known scientific journal, Nature. A special analysis carried out by the journal indicates that an astonishing 41% of all amphibians on the planet now face extinction while 26% of mammal species and 13% of birds are similarly threatened. Many species are already critically endangered and lose to extinction, including the Sumatran elephant, Amur leopard and mountain gorilla. But also in danger of vanishing for the wild, it now appears, are animals that are currently rated as merely being endangered. In each case, the finger of blame points directly at human activites The continuing spread of agriculture is destroying million of hectares of wild habitats(栖息地)every year, leaving animals without homes, while the introduction of newly-come species, often helped by humans, is also damaging native populations. At the same time, pollution and overfishing are destroying ocean ecosystems. “Habitat destruction, pollution or overfishing either skill off wild creatures and plants or keaves them badly weakened,” said Derek Tittensor, an ocean ecologist at the World Conservation Monitoring Centre in Cambridge. “The trouble is that in coming decades, the additional threat of worsening climate change will become more and more common and could then kill off these survivors.” The problem, according to Nature, is worsened because of the huge gaps in scientists knowledge about the planets biodiversity. Evaluations of the total number of species of animals and plants alive vary from 2 million to 50 million. In addition, evaluations of current rates of species disappearances vary from 500 to 36, 000 a year. “That is the real problem we face,” added Tittensor. “The scale of uncertainty is huge.” In the end, however, the data indicate that the world is heading cruelty towards a mass extinction-which is defined as one involving a loss of 75% of species or more. This could arrive in less than a hundred years or could take a thousand, depending on extinction rates.28. Whats the main idea of the first two paragraphs?A. Figures about some wild animals are astonishing.B. “Nature” is the famous journal around the world.C. Many endangered species are close to extinction.D. Some rare species have appeared around the world.29. The direct reason for the extinction of some species is _.A. continuous appearance of new species B. destructive activities of human beingsC. more and more homeless animals D. the great change of ocean ecosystem30. From paragraph 4 we know that another future threat is _.A. destruction of habitats B. overfishing and pollutionC. the worsening climate change D. killing off wild creatures and plants31. What does “This” in the last sentence refer to _?A. mass extinction B. extinction rates C. extinction time D. 75% of species or moreDIt all began with a stop at a red light. Kevin Salwen was driving his 14-year-old daughter, Hannah, back from a sleepover in 2020 . While waiting at a traffic light, they saw a black Mercedes Coupe on one side and a homeless man begging for food on the other. “Dad, if that man had a less nice car, that man there could have a meal.”Hannah protested. The light changed and they drove on, but Hannah was too young to be reasonable. She pestered （纠缠）her parents aboutinequity,insisting that she wanted to do something. “What do you want to do?” her mom responded. “Sell our house?” Warning!Never suggest a grand gesture to an idealistic teenager. Hannah seized upon the idea of selling the luxurious family home and donating half the proceeds to charity, while using the other half to buy a more modest replacement home. Eventually, thats what the family did. The project crazy, impetuous （鲁莽的） and utterly inspiring is written down in detail in a book by father and daughter scheduled to be published next month: “The Power of Half.” Its a book that, frankly, Id be nervous about leaving around where my own teenage kids might find it. An impressionable child reads this, and the next thing you know your whole family is out on the street. At a time of enormous needs in Haiti and elsewhere, when so many Americans are trying to help Haitians by sending everything from text messages to shoes, the Salwens offer an example of a family that came together to make a difference for themselves as much as the people they were trying to help. In a column a week ago, it described neurological evidence from brain scans that unselfishness lights up parts of the brain normally associated with more primary satisfaction. The Salwens experience confirms the selfish pleasures of selflessness. Mr. Salwen and his wife, Joan, had always assumed that their kids would be better off in a bigger house. But after they downsized, there was much less space to retreat to, so the family members spent more time around each other. A smaller house unexpectedly turned out to be a more family-friendly house.32. What does the underlined word “inequity” most probably mean in Paragraph 3?AUnfairness. BSatisfaction. CPersonal attitude. DReasonable statement.33. What does the underlined sentence “Never suggest a grand gesture to an idealistic teenager.” means?ANever give a quick answer to an idealistic teenager.BUnless a child is realistic, never give an answer immediately.CGive an answer if the child is reasonable.DDont respond to a childs demands firmly without consideration.34. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?AMercedes Coupe is only an ordinary car which is quite cheap.BUnselfishness has nothing to do with peoples primary satisfaction.CHannah asked her parents to do something charitable and they sold their house.DThe writers children asked him to sell their house.35. What can we learn from the last paragraph?AThe Salwens regretted selling their house.BThe relationship between the family members of the Salwens is much closer.CSmall houses can bring happiness.DThe Salwens intend to buy another big house.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。How to Live Peacefully with Your ParentsAs a teen, youre going through big changes physically and mentally.
