In an unexpected accident, the cattle worker was feeding the animals in his charge when one bull cleaned him up and kicked his hand up against the rail, resulting in the thumb on his right hand being cut off. “My thumb was still hanging on the rail. when I got up off the ground,” Zac Mitchell says.His co-workers tried their best to preserve the thumb for reattachment, placing it on ice in a cooler, but two surgeries to put Mitchells thumb back in place failed. Thats when doctors came up with another suggestion: Remove one of his big toes to where his thumb used to be.Mitchells lead surgeon, Sean Nicklin, understood the mans dilemma at first, calling it a “bit of a crazy idea”. After all, Zac Mitchell did not want to be injured in another part of his body. But as the thumb is incredibly important function-wise, Mitchell eventually gave in. Nicklin explains that the big toe is surprisingly fit for a thumb switch: Nerves sync up (同步) nicely, and it looks more like a thumb, though a giant one, than any other alternative they may have come up with. He added that big toes arent as necessary for balance and walking as people believe. As far as the foot goes, occasional “fine balance” activities like surfing might be difficult, but most people without a big toe function fine in everyday tasks like walking and even competitive sports.The eight-hour surgery went well, and Mitchell is expected to have a year or so of recovery in front of him before he heads back into the fields.24. What happened to Zac Mitchell on April 4th?A. He cleaned up a bull.B. He was badly hurt.C. He started his farm.D. He lost his thumbs.【答案】B【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“resulting in the thumb on his right hand being cut off.”可知，一个牛场工人被一头公牛弄断了大拇指，严重受伤。故选B。25. What suggestion did the doctor give to Mitchell after the unsuccessful surgery?A. Recreating a new thumb in place.B. Replacing the thumb with his toe.C. Transplanting his co-workers thumb.D. Putting back the cut-off thumb again.【答案】B【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“Thats when doctors came up with another suggestion: Remove one of his big toes to where his thumb used to be.”可知，医生提出建议用他的大脚趾代替大拇指。故选B。26. What is Mitchells first attitude to the doctors another suggestion?A. Optimistic.B. Insignificant.C. Hesitant.D. Rejective.【答案】C【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段二、三句“After all, Zac Mitchell did not want to be injured in another part of his body. But as the thumb is incredibly important function-wise, Mitchell eventually gave in.”可推断，对于医生的另一个建议起初Zac Mitchell是犹豫的，毕竟他不想身体的其他地方受伤。故选C。27. According to Nicklin, after the surgery Mitchell is able to .A. surf on the seaB. do daily activitiesC. only stay at homeD. work on wheelchair【答案】B【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段的倒数两句“He added that big toes arent as necessary for balance and walking as people believe. As far as the foot goes, occasional “fine balance” activities like surfing might be difficult, but most people without a big toe function fine in everyday tasks like walking and even competitive sports.”可知，根据Nicklin说的，大脚趾对于平衡和走路不是必须的，在日常活动中，像走路甚至竞技性运动，没有大脚趾的人也做得很好。因此可知Mitchell手术后能够从事日常活动。故选B。CMost people know that listening to music when they are feeling down or depressed can encourage their spirits.However studies have also shown that music, especially certain tones can reduce stress. Music can change brainwave patterns, deepen breathing, and bring on a totally stress-free and more open mindset（心态）. Using music to relax when considering a particular problem may not only raise your mood, but also could help you reach that a-hamoment and find a solution.Music has also been shown not only to make you feel good, but also, to be a great motivator. For example, during exercise, listening to music can keep you going, or get you to exercise more by helping you to ignore negative feelings of tiredness and focus on the pleasurable feelings you get from being absorbed in the music.Music is mainly used to record emotion. When we listen to a piece of music we share the artists feelings on a visceral（本来的）level. That can be sad, and who among us hasnt put on a painful love song to share in the misery after a bad break-up? On the contrary, we can share in the delight of songs of joy and happiness, or any song or piece of music that reminds us of a particular happy time in our past.So next time you are feeling down, put on Beethoven s Ode to Joy, I bet you will feel a lot better about whatever it was that was bothering you!28. We can infer from the first paragraph that music can .A. benefit you in many waysB. promote you to find more questionsC. change the patterns of your lifestyleD. influence your attention to a problem【答案】A【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段Most people know that listening to music when they are feeling down or depressed can encourage their spirits.可知音乐对我们有积极的作用，所以A正确。29. The author wrote the second paragraph mainly to .A. tell us a story B. make some commentsC. give us an example D. list some facts【答案】C【解析】主旨大意题。通读第二段主要将了音乐能缓解人的紧张，接着通过举例的方法来证明这一观点，所以这一段主要是在举例。30. When we enjoy a piece of sad music, .A. well share the artists feelings deeplyB. we may recall our miserable pastC. we may be reminded of particular joyD. well show mercy on the artists life【答案】B【解析】推理判断题。根据第四段Music is mainly used to record emotion. When we listen to a piece of music we share the artists feelings on a visceral（本来的）level. That can be sad, and who among us hasnt put on a painful love song to share in the misery after a bad break-up? 可知音乐是用来记录情感的，听悲伤的音乐可以让人回忆起悲伤的经历。31. Whats the best title of the text?A. What music means to a music lover B. Why people love happy musicC. What kind of music is popular D. How music changes your life【答案】D【解析】主旨大意题。根据每一段的第一句话music, especially certain tones can reduce stress；Music has also been shown not only to make you feel good, but also, to be a great motivator.；Music is mainly used to record emotion.可知文章主要讲述了音乐对人的影响，所以D正确。DTheres a song by the great Jamaican singer Bob Marley called So Much Trouble In The World. Marley understood that part of the reason why there are so many problems in the world is the lack of tolerance between people. The UN understands this toothats why it made Nov 16th “International Day for Tolerance”.But first of all, what is tolerance? According to French philosopher Voltaire, tolerances the consequence of humanity. We are all formed of frailty (脆弱) and error; let us pardon each others fool that is the first law of nature.”Very often, people dont realize that theyre intolerant. This is because intolerance has a lot to do with ignorance. For example, the UNs campaign is in part about the treatment of females by males. But often, the behavior of men toward women is intolerant because men dont put themselves in the shoes of women.Its worth thinking a little about the words “tolerance” and “intolerance”. Are they the best words to describe the evils of which were speaking here? To agree to be “tolerant” of someone isnt necessarily a very respectful thing. When someone is tolerated, it implies that theres something wrong with them.Still, what Voltaire said stands: We humans are not perfect and this weakness is something that we all share. Thats the reason we should be tolerant. Its a little like generosity. We can give things to another person, and we can also give our forgiveness.32. Whats the purpose of the UN “International Day For Tolerance”?A. To arouse peoples awareness of tolerance among people.B. To celebrate the founding of the UN.C. To solve the problem of global warming.D. To change peopled opinion towards globalization.【答案】A【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段二、三两句“Marley understood that part of the reason why there are so many problems in the world is the lack of tolerance between people. The UN understands this too - thats why it made Nov 16th International Day for Tolerance.”可推断，世界上的人们缺乏包容，因此联合国把11月16日设置为“国际宽容日”是为了唤起人们的包容意识。故选A。33. Why do men behave intolerantly towards women?A. Because men dont realize the purpose of the UN.B. Because men are physically stronger than women.C. Because men dont appreciate the shoes of women.D. Because men are not willing to understand women.【答案】D【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段尾句“But often, the behavior of men toward women is intolerant because men dont put themselves in the shoes of women.”可知，男性对女性不包容是因为他们不愿意设身处地的为女性着想，不愿意理解她们。故选D。34. Why is it meaningless to use the words “tolerance” and “intolerance”?A. Because they are hard to pronounce in English.B. Because they dont express the exact meaning people refer to.C. Because they cant be translated into other languages.D. Because they cant be used in a respectful way.【答案】B【解析】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段后三句“Are they the best words to describe the evils of which were speaking here? To agree to be tolerant of someone isnt necessarily a very respectful thing. When someone is tolerated, it implies that theres something wrong with them.”可知，对某人宽容并不一定是一件值得尊重的事情，某人如果被包容，就暗示着某人有问题，因此推断使用“宽容”或者“不宽容”是没有意义的，因为它们不能准确表达人们所指的意思。故选B。35. In what sense is “tolerance” similar to “generosity”?A. Humans are advised to treat others better.B. Humans leant to find faults in others.C. Humans need to give something to others.D. Humans will change their attitudes to others.【答案】C【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句“Its a little like generosity. We can give things to another person, and we can also give our forgiveness.”可推断，在我们给与别人谅解时，宽容有点像慷慨。故选C。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。Difficult financial times dont mean your giving shuts down. _36_ There are so many ways to give back that wont hurt your wallet and will enrich your life.1.
