Elizabeth looked down. “Is it from Harvard? They refused my application once.” Emily answered, “No, its from Yale.” Quickly, Elizabeth walked downstairs. She took the letter and opened it. “Rejected again,” Elizabeth said unhappily. “Who says women cant be doctors?”“They are fools not to accept you. You cant let them stop you, Lizzie,” Emily said.“I wont. Ill apply to (申请) Geneva Medical College,” Elizabeth told her sister. As it turned out, the professors at Geneva Medical College were not fools. They allowed Elizabeth Blackwell to study medicine.In 1848, a year before Elizabeth would graduate, a typhoid epidemic (伤寒流行病) broke out in New York. Elizabeth wrote to Emily. “Theres an outbreak (爆发) of typhoid, and I am going to help. It is dangerous, so if I should not survive, please do me the honor of studying medicine yourself.”Emily replied, “Encouraged by your dream and success, I have decided to study in medical school, as well.”Having survived the disease, Elizabeth tried to set up a private medical practice. “I graduated first in my class but no one believes a woman can be a good doctor,” she said to Emily one day. “All I hear is that doctors should be men, while women should stay home to cook and clean.”Emily said worriedly, “I will graduate in June with my medical degree. What shall we do?” Elizabeth thought for a while and replied, “Theres a big house in the poor part of our town. We can practice medicine there for people who couldnt afford care.”Soon with the help of some friends, Elizabeth and Emily bought the house and opened a hospital for poor women and children. “Well have an all-women staff (员工),” Elizabeth said. “And later, well add a medical college for women!” Emily added. At last, Elizabeth realized her dream of being a doctor.21. The underlined word “Rejected” in the first paragraph can be best replaced by _.A. Refused B. Praised C. Changed D. Accepted22. In 1848, Elizabeth wrote to Emily to _.A. persuade Emily to come to help the sickB. ask Emily to study medicine if she diedC. warn Emily the danger of typhoid epidemicD. tell Emily she would graduate from college23. We can learn from the text that Elizabeth _.A. received strong support from her sisterB. refused to go to study at Yale UniversityC. founded a medical college after graduationD. was finally accepted by Harvard after her effortsBShould adult children live with their parents?Ratfink (Australia)In our country children are now staying at home longer than previously. Its not uncommon to see kids staying until their 30s or until married. This is in part due to the high cost of housing. Besides, kids are often in so much debt after purchasing a car, paying for their education and cost on nonessentials such as the latest phones.Mick (UK)Coddling (溺爱) people does not help them stand on their own. Let them live at home during college to save money if you must, but once they graduate, they should be on their own. This doesnt mean parents cant help them out, but living at home as an adult？No. After four years of college you are as prepared as you will ever be to live on your own.WRONGMAN (US)Independence is important for young adulthood. It is my duty as a parent to push my daughter out of the nest, when she graduates. We are trying to help her gain confidence and independence for the college years. Although we pay the majority of her rent, she is expected to work parttime for food money. If she chooses not to work .hunger is a strong motivator (动机). She is also well aware that upon graduation she is on her own financially.Jeremy (China)Adult children can live with their parents; however, I cannot bear them taking advantage. They should pay rent, food and other expenses just as they would if they were living with a roommate. They should also provide assistance to their parents, such as cooking meals, cleaning and driving to appointments.24In Australia, kids are staying at home longer because _.Athey are lacking enough independenceBtheir parents are worried about their safetyCliving on their own may bring much pressureDthey have been used to living a rich life25Which one is Micks opinion to parents?ANot let children live at home during college years.BNot help children out to help them be independent.CNot let children live with parents after graduation.DNot push children out if they dont want.26What did WRONGMAN do to his daughter?AHelp her pay all the rent. BForce her to live at home.CAdvise her not to work parttime. DHelp her become independent.27How many people think an adult shouldnt live with parents?AOne.BTwo. CThree. DFour.CDo you jump out of bed early, wide awake and ready to start your day？ If so, you would be called an early bird. Perhaps, you hate the sound of your alarm clock each morning and have little energy until afternoon. If so, youre probably a night owl.Most people can be divided into such two groups, but what makes us this way？ And is one better than the other？ There are different opinions.Usually, early risers have been praised as hard-working while those who prefer to get up late are considered lazy.Most people believe the early bird catches the worm.Yet some scientists now believe night owls can really focus(集中) longer and produce more than early risers.Research has found that the early bird does not always get the worm. In a Belgian study, both morning people and evening people were watched during their normal asleep and awake routines(常规).After 10 hours of being awake, the evening people became more alert(思维敏捷的). However, the morning people became sleepy and less focused. Researchers believe the reason for this difference is that night owls receive a last-minute increase from their brains. This added energy allows them to stay alert for longer periods of time.Environment, lifestyle, activities and childhood routines all may have an effect on sleeping habits, yet genetics(遗传学)may play the biggest role.It is possible to change your sleeping habits through regular bedtimes, early exercise and by avoiding midnight snacks. But if youre happy rising early or staying up late, youre probably doing what works best for your own personal body clock.28. The author introduces the subject by _.A.telling an interesting story B.giving different opinionsC.showing research results D.asking a question29. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 really mean?A.Those who get up early achieve their goals.B.Early to bed, early to rise is good for health.C.Night owls can focus longer than early birds.D.Early birds are as hard-working as night owls.30.What did the researchers find in a Belgian study?A.Late risers become sleepier than early risers.B.Early risers become as focused as later risers.C.Late risers can think quickly after being awaken for 10 hours.D.Early risers can think clearly after being awake for 10 hours.31.What opinion does the author finally agree to?A.People should get up early.B.Whatever time suits you, its OKC.Staying up late is good for health.D.Its impossible to change ones sleeping habit.DChinese students always complain that theyre under great pressure and dont get enough sleep. But they may be surprised to learn that theyre much luckier than their peers (同龄人) in South Korea and Japan, according to a recently published report, conducted by Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences on the physical and mental health of senior high school students in the three Asian countries.According to the study among nearly 6,000 high school students in the three countries, Chinese students are the tallest but poorest in physical fitness. Chinese students are on average 168.17cm, compared with 167.61cm for South Korean students and 164.70cm for Japanese students. Chinese students asked for sick leave more than students in other countries. About 72 percent of Korean students never asked for sick and injury leave during high school, compared to 53 percent for Japanese students and 45 percent for Chinese students. Moreover, Chinese students drink alcohol and smoke earlier than Korean and Japanese students. Around 70 percent of Chinese students have drunk alcohol, compared to 50 percent for Korean and Japanese students.According to the survey, Japanese and South Korean students suffer more pressure than their Chinese peers. Statistics show 16 percent of students in China said they experienced mental pressure often over the past year, while the numbers in Japan and South Korea were 33 percent and 47 percent respectively. Their worries come from “study”, “future after graduation”, “friendships” and “relationship with their parents”. To go with stress, 57.9 percent of Korean students sleep the least, less than six hours a day, compared with 46.6 percent of Japanese students and 30 percent of Chinese students.More Chinese students were satisfied with their physical appearance, double that of students in the survey from Japan and South Korea. The report said that over half of students in South Korea had tried to lose weight in the past year, while in China the figure was only 22 percent. In measures of self-worth, such as “I think I am valuable” and “I think I am successful”, “I can complete many things”, “I wont give up to failure,” Chinese students showed greater self-confidence than students in Japan and South Korea.32. Whats the main idea of the second paragraph?A. Chinese teenagers are tallest, but most unhealthy.B. Chinese students drink most alcohol and smoke earliest.C. Japanese students ask for least sick leave.D. Chinese students ask for sick leave most often.33. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. Chinese students are luckiest, yet most unsuccessfulB. Chinese students are confident in themselves and luckierC. Japanese students are most stressedD. South Korean students sleep the least34. What does the underlined word “that” refer to?A. the heightB. the appearanceC. the weightD. the number35. The worries that causes students to be stressed come from the following factors EXCEPT _.A. study and careerB. physical appearanceC. friendshipsD. family relationship第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。Tips for taking care of friendshipsSome people are meant to come and go from your lives quickly.
