It was David. He kept walking up and down restlessly，his face pale，and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher had referred him to me. “This boy has lost his family，” he wrote. “He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others，and Im very worried about him. Can you help him？” I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I help him? There are problems that psychology doesnt have the answer to，and no words can describe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically(同情地). The first two times we met，David didnt say a word. He sat there，only looking up to look at the childrens drawings on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoonin complete silence and without looking at me. Its not easy to cheat in chess，but I admit I made sure David won once or twice. Usually，he arrived earlier than agreed，took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company. But why did he never look at me? “Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with，” I thought. “Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering.” Some months later，when we were playing chess，he looked up at me suddenly. “Its your turn，”he said. After that day，David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times about his biking with some friends，and about his plan to get into university. Now he had really started to live his own life. Maybe I gave David something. But I also learned that onewithout any wordscan reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug，a shoulder to cry on，a friendly touch，and an ear that listens.21. When he first met the author，David_.Ashowed up with his teacher Blooked a little nervous Cwalked energeticallyDfelt a little excited22.

David enjoyed being with the author because he_.Aliked the childrens drawings in the officeBbeat the author many times in the chess gameCwanted to ask the author for adviceDneeded to share sorrow with the author24. What can be inferred about David?AHe recovered after months of treatment.BHe liked biking before he lost his family.CHe went into university soon after starting to talk.DHe got friends in school before he met the author.BDo you want to get home from work knowing you have made a real difference in someones life?

They have been trying to prove that the value of a woman does not lie only in her beauty. The world is just beginning to recognize that women are as smart, wise and strong in personality as men are, and that there are qualities more important than looks when judging people. When women take part in beauty contests for top prizes, they encourage people to value them for their beauty alone. It is unfair to say that beauty alone determines ones worth.Beauty contests not only encourage spectators(观众) to judge women by their appearance, but they encourage this idea in the contestants as well. These young women spend months losing weight to be the “right” size and learning how to dress, wear makeup, and walk just right so that some judges will consider them beautiful. I think its greater for a woman to feel good about her appearance, but looks shouldnt be sought after in an extreme or unreasonable way. There are too many other, more important things in a young womans life: learning, developing friendships and preparing for their future work and perhaps a family.As long as there are beauty contests, women wont be fully recognized as well-rounded human beings.28. According to the text, women have tried to change their image by_.A. paying attention to their clothesB. proving they are as good as menC. encourage people to value their beautyD. winning more beauty contests29. What do women usually do in preparation for beauty contests?A. Choose the right size dresses.B. Learn about their personality.C. Do everything for their bodies.D. Develop friendship with spectators.30. What can we infer from the text?A. Qualities other than looks are more important.B. Looks determine everything.C. Wisdom carries much weight.D. Spectators should have their voice heard.31. According to the author, beauty contests are _.A. necessary for modern societyB. unpleasant to contestantsC. disrespectful to womenD. helpful in improving womens imageDSome people surveyed tasted the sweet, salty, and crunchy together with other tastes of food as they listen to different noises. It shows that louder noises reduced the reported sweetness or saltiness of food while increasing the measure of crunchiness(松脆).It may go some way to explain why airline food is widely complained about by both the workers and passengers. Andy Woods, a researcher, said, “Its a general opinion that plane foods arent fantastic, but Im sure airlines do their best, so we wondered if there were other reasons. One thought was that perhaps the background noise may have an effect. NASA gives their space explorers very strong-tasting food, because for some reasons, they cant taste food that stronglyagain, it may have something to do with the background noise.”In a study, 48 people were fed sweet foods or salty ones, while listening to nothing or noise through earphones. Meanwhile they rated(划分等级) the foods. In noisier settings, foods were rated less salty or sweet than they were when it was silent, but were rated crunchier. “The evidence shows that if the background noise is loud, your attention might be drawn to that, away from the food.” Dr. Woods said.“We are still at an early stage of progressing and this is a rather small study to really draw definitive(最完整可靠的) conclusions from,” Dr Woods said, “but they suggest that restaurants could well adapt their choice of food for a given environment.”Also in the groups findings there is the suggestion that the overall satisfaction with the food is also related to the degree to which people like what they are hearing.32. How does the food taste when it is eaten in a noisy environment?A. Less salty but crunchier. B. Sweeter but less crunchy.C.Sweeter and saltier.D. Less sweet and crunchy.33. Why does NASA give their space explorers very strong-tasting foods?A. The explorers lose their sense of taste in space.B. Foods become less tasty in space.C. The explorers need tastier foods to keep energetic in space.D. Loud noises in space may weaken the explorers sense of taste.34. We can infer from what Dr. Woods said in the 4th paragraph that _.A. the researchers have made an effective conclusionB. the environment influences the food a restaurant sellsC. listening to nothing while eating is the best choiceD. music will weaken peoples sense of taste while eating35. What would be the best title for the text?A. How to change plane foodsB. The best dinner environmentC. Background noise affects the taste of foodsD. Listening to music while eating第二节：任务型阅读。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，请把答案写在答题卡上。Do you remember those times when your mother told you to avoid talking to strangers?
