Children know this very well. Fred Epstein, in his book If I Make It to Five, tells a story he heard from one of friends about Tom, a four-year-old boy with a cancer in his back bone. He came through several operations and a lot of pain by mastering his imagination.Tom loved to pretend, and he particularly loved to play superheroes. Dr Epstein explained that it was actually a brilliant way for his young mind to handle the terrifying and painful life he led.The day before his third trip to the operating room, Tom was terribly afraid. “Maybe I could go asSuperman,” he whispered to his mom. Hearing this, the mother hesitated for a while. She had avoided buying the expensive costume，but finally she agreed.The next day Tom appeared as the powerful Superman, showing off through the hospital halls and coolly waving his hand to the people greeting him along the way. And Tom, with the strength of his fantasy, successfully made it through the operation.The power of imagination need not be reserved for children only. We all have the power to use our fantasies to attempt things we never thought possible, to go through those things that seem impossible, and to achieve what we never believed we could. Just as Dr. Epstein puts it , “If you can dream it, you can do it.”It doesnt mean that you should dress as a superhero for your next job interview. But, next time when you are tested in a way that seems impossible, imagine what it would take to overcome it. Become the person you need to become to win over your challenge and do it in your mind first. So, let your imagination run wild, and dare to dream.16What do we know about Tom?AHe was seriously ill.BHe was a dishonest boy. CHe was crazy about magic. DHe was Dr. Epsteins patient.17What can be inferred about Toms mother?AShe was a rich lady.BShe refused Toms request.CShe wanted Tom to be a superhero.DShe wanted to get Tom through the pain.18When Tom went for the third operation, he .Apretended to be painfulBacted like a superheroCappeared in poor spiritsDargued with his mother19In the last paragraph, you are advised .Ato go through some difficult testsBto wake up from your wild dreamsCto become a powerful person in your mindDto wear expensive clothes for job interviews20What is the purpose of the passage?ATo tell us an interesting story.BTo help us make right decisions.CTo advise us to care about children.DTo encourage us to use our imagination.BSongs that make our hearts happy can make them stronger too, US researchers reported on TuesdayThey found that when people listened to their favorite music, their blood vessels (血管) dilated in much the same way as when they are laughing, or taking blood medications“We have a pretty impressive effect,” said Dr Michael Miller, director of preventive cardiology (心脏病学)at the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore“Blood vessel diameter improved,” he said“The vessel opened up pretty significantlyYou can see the vessels opening up with other activities such as exercise.” A similar effect is seen with drugs such as statinsWhen blood vessels open up more, blood flows more smoothly and is less likely to form the clots (凝块) that cause heart attacks and strokes. “We are not saying to stop your statins or not to exercise but rather to add this to an overall program of heart health,” said Miller, who presented his findings to a meeting of the American Heart Association in New OrleansMillers team tested 10 healthy, non-smoking men and women, who were told to bring their favorite musicThey spent half an hour listening to the recordings and half an hour listening to music they said made themfeel anxious while the researchers did ultrasound tests designed to show blood vessel functionCompared to their normal baseline measurements, blood vessel diameter increased 26 percent on average when the volunteers heard their joyful musicListening to music they disliked in most cases in this group blood vessels narrowed by six percent, Miller saidMiller said he came up with the idea after discovering that laughter caused blood to literally flow more smoothly. “I asked myself what other things make us feel really good, besides calories from dark chocolate of courseMusic came to mind. It makes me feel really good,” he saidMost of the volunteers chose country music but Miller said the style is not so important rather than what pleases each individual21The underlined word “dilate “ (in paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to “ ”AwidenBmoveCchangeDincrease22According to the passage, which of the following will NOT cause blood vessels to open up?ATaking exerciseBListening to unpleasant musicCBursting into laughterDTaking drugs like statins23It can be inferred from the passage that Ablood clots are caused by heart attacks and strokes Bmusic is better than chocolate for your healthCthe style of music has different effects on different peopleDa persons overall health is more influenced by how much exercise he gets24What is the passage possibly taken out from?AA scientific journalBA school textbookCA medical brochureDA local newspaper25Whats the best title of the passage?APleasant Music CuresBResearch into Blood VesselCMusic and Heart AttackDMusic and HappinessCHe is a lesson to every boy who ever picked up a basketball and dreamed that it would change his life.The lights were never brighter and the crowds were never bigger for a homegrown sports hero than they were a quarter-century ago for Ray Hall. But his athletic achievements, as impressive as they are, are to my mind not what is most admirable about the man.Known as “Sugar Ray” in his teens, Hall was rated among the countrys top 25 high school basketball players. An inner-city kid from a solid family, Hall took on the challenge of lifting Canisius College stillrecovering from its failure back to respectability, rejecting more favorable offers. His status of a savior (救世主)brought more pressure than any 18-year-old should have to handle. However, I watched him matured into the player who led Canisius back to daylight.After college Hall played professionally in Italy and Greece for over 10 years until a car accident at 32 ended his basketball career. The news that he would never play again shocked Hall but unlike so many others he was ready for life after basketball. When I met Hall still fit at 46 for lunch Monday, he wore a cut-sharp gray suit, designer tie and blazing white shirt that screamed Success. “That was always the question when the cheers end, where do you go? Who do you turn to?” he said. “It starts and ends with that person in the mirror.”Hall got the concept of academics-first from his parents. He graduated from Canisius a semester early. “No matter how good an athlete you are, you are just one injury away from losing it all,” he said. “But if you take careof things academically, you are prepared until you leave this earth.”For the past 14 years, he has been in a computer sales job at Ingram Micro. He married his college sweetheart. They have three kids and a nice house in the suburbs. He figured out early what others learn too late: Athletics is part of a journey, not the destination.Congratulations, Ray, you made it. In more ways than one.26Ray was regarded as a savior because .Ahe liked to take on challengesBhe helped his team to regain its gloryChe was faithful to his hometown cityDhe fought hard against failure at a young age27According to the writer, which of the following best describes Rays success?AUnlike other athletes, he was academically superior. BHe defeated his injury and returned to the playground. CHe enjoys a successful job and a happy family.DHe has gained impressive athletic achievements.28Whats the right order of the events related to Ray?aHe was ranked among the best high school basketball players. bHe was in a car accident.cHe graduated from Canisius College. dHe started his computer sales job. eHe gave up his athletic career.Aa, c, b, e, dBa, c, e, b, dCc, a, b, d, eDc, a, e, b, d29We can learn from the passage that .ARay was from an academic familyBRay was very mature in his teensCRay was once desperate facing the cruel realityDathletics was not Rays final goal in life30What was the writers intention in writing this passage?ATo describe the difficulties of being a professional athlete. BTo explain the importance of choosing the right college.

If so, then you are a third-culture kid!The term “third-culture kid” (or TCK) was first used in the 1960s by Dr. Ruth. She first came across this phenomenon when she researched North American children living in India. Caught between two cultures, theyform their very own. 31 About 90 percent of them have a university degree, while 40 percent pursue apostgraduate or doctor degree. They usually benefit from their intercultural experience, which helps them to grow into successful academics and professionals. 32_ In fact, many hardships may arise from this phenomenon. A third-culture kid may not be able to adapt themselves completely to their new surroundings as expected. Instead, they may always remain an outsider in different host cultures. Max, for example, experienced this feeling of strangeness throughout his life as a third-culture kid. 33 While this can be a way to create a network of friends all around the world, it can be difficult for a third-culture kid like Max to maintain close friendships and relationships.For a third-culture kid, it is often easier to move to a new foreign country than to return to their “home” country. After living in Australia and Sout h Korea for many years, Louis finally returned to Turkey as a teenager. But she felt out of place when she returned to the country where she was born. 34_ She did not share the same values as her friends even years after going back home.While a third-culture kid must let go of their identity as a foreigner when he/she returns, the home country can prove to be more foreign than anything he/she came across before. The peer group they face does not matchthe idealized（理想化的）image children have of “home”. 35 As a part of the growing “culture”, TCKs may find it a great challenge for them to feel at home in manyplaces.AYet being a third-culture kid is not always easy.BIn general, they often reach excellent academic results. CThis often makes it hard for them to form their own identity.DHowever, their parents can help them see the opportunities of a mobile lifestyle. E. Their experience abroad helps them to understand cultural differences better.F. Unlike other teens of her age, she didnt know anything about current TV shows or fashion trends.G. Additionally, making new friends and saying goodbye to old ones will at some point become routine for a third-culture kid.III完形填空 (共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分)阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从 3655 各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 项中，选出最佳选项，并在答 题卡上将该项涂黑。Children with learning disabilities (LD) often have problems.
