I appreciate the opportunity to spend quality time with my mom but it is painful for me to see her house littered with stuff(物品),clothes bought but never worn, and new items in their original packaging carelessly purchased and never used. Its evident that seeing the stuff on a daily basis reminds my mom of a time when shopping was her way of spending money.I didnt fully understand the extent to which my mom was suffering until this week, when I saw piles of clothes on her bed. How do you manage to sleep every night with all that stuff, Mom? I asked. To my horror, she replied, I do it because I know I have to get rid of all this stuff eventually: I am punishing myself by sleeping with them until I do that.Shocked and upset, I gently explained to her that punishing herself was only to make things worse, and that everybody deserves a place to sleep in peace, no matter what mistakes theyve made. I suggested she move all the stuff upstairs, leaving her room comfortable to sleep in.With patience and her slow but steady guidance, I helped her go through some of the piles and move them upstairs. For the rest of the week I stayed there, she was in a better mood and was excited about going through the rest of the house to finally get rid of her stuff-past mistakes and painful times. The items brought back painful memories as we inspected and moved them, but I kept reminding her that removing them would allow her to move on and heal. We finally sold so many things and took bag after bag to charity.The stuff is just a sign of the destructive patterns of self-hatred on past mistakes. Only through the act of self-forgiveness can we bring about a chain reaction of reorganizing both of the house and heart.24. What made the author feel bitter?A. She couldnt understand her moms sorrowsB. Her mom was stuck in the painful memoriesC. Her mom was always left alone at homeD. Her mom wasted money on useless things.25.

Whats the best title of the passage?A. How to do shopping wiselyB. The importance of self-forgivenessC. Keep an eye on the elderlys behaviorD. Clearance helps remove sufferingCIts often said of British people that they are very aware of each others social rank. Britons can usually work out a fellow countrymans background from the way they speak or dress, and may even treat them differently based on this. But although this may have been truer in the past than it is today. Visitors to Britain say that they still notice it. The comic play Pygmalion by the Irish man George Bernard Shaw(1856-1950), is a famous exploration of the importance of social rank in British society.The main story of the play concerns a working class girl, Eliza Doolittle, a flower seller from London. Two upper class gentlemen try to see if they can get Doolittle to appear like an upper class lady after sending her for elocution lessons. Professor Henry Higgins, a language expert, says it can be done； his friend Colonel Pickering says that its impossible. Even so, Higgins sets out to teach Eliza how to speak properly.Of course Eliza isnt a lump of clay; she has her own will. She can see that its in her best interest to go along with Higgins plan to improve herself. She wants to be able to sell flowers in a shop rather than on the street. Still, Elizas willfulness means that its a bumpy(坎坷的)ride for everyone.At the beginning of fourth act, the characters are at home after a ball(舞会), at which Eliza proved that a flower girl can pass herself off as a lady after all. She was a triumph at the ball, and Higgins has won his bet.But what happens next? Eliza has her future to worry about. She may be able to fool the upper class into thinking shes one of them, but she isnt really one of them.Shaw seems to be telling us that social rank is about more than the someone talks-its about wealth and privilege. The whole experiment proves the idea that accents and classes are very superficial. The way one speaks and dresses are only markers of class. The class system itself, however, is something completely different.28. According to the text, in Britain, the way a person speaks and dressesA. determines their social rank B. used to have a strict codeC. is no longer cared about by other people D. could affect other opinions of them29. The words elocution lessons underlined in paragraph 2 probably meanA. dance lessons B. speech lessons C. sales training D. dress courses30. What happens to Eliza Doolittle during the experiment by Professor Henry Higgins?A. She is forced to give up selling flowers on the street.B. She is unwilling to participate in the experiment at first.C. She is thought of as a respectable upper-class lady at the ball.D. She is afraid that true background will be known by other people.31. What message did Shaw intend to convey in Pygmalion according to the text?A. People should try to improve their accents.B. One can enter the upper class after receiving training.C. The way someone speaks makes a big difference to their social status.D. A persons social rank cant truly be judged by the way they look and talk.DYouve got your fancy new suitcase and youre ready to take it with you on your travel across the globe.You get to the airport, quickly moving through the crowds on the uneven(不平坦的)pavement, rushing to check in. Then, your heat sinks when you realize your new suitcase has got a serious case of the wobbles(摇晃).Why does this happen?Scientists from the University Paris-Diderot in France investigated this matter and published their findings in the science journal Proceedings of the Royal Society A. They also suggested some solutions overcome this modem-day problem.To learn more about the issue, they put a suitcase on a treadmill(跑步机)and observed what happened. It was soon noted that the wobble was actually a result of repeated actions that caused the suitcase to sway(摇晃)from side to side. They discovered that if one of the wheels encountered an obstacle such as a small bump, it jumped into the air for just a moment and then banged back down to the ground. That second action caused the opposite wheel to life of the ground and then to bang back down, causing the first to lift again and so on. This swaying increased as the luggage was pulled along.The suitcase is a fun way to tackle the problem, but the study would be the same for any trolley(手推车)with two wheels or blades(桨叶),”Sylvain Courrech du pont, lead author of the study, told BBC News. So it will be the same for a caravan of maybe also for airplanes.Instead of slowing down when we see a rocky part of the path, the scientists recommended doing the exact opposite and speeding up. This is because going faster gives the wheels less time to rise and fall, preventing the case from swaying. They also said that reducing the angle of the suitcase by lowering its handle to the ground would help it keep steady.These findings could help researchers simulated(模仿)and design better rolling suitcases and other pulled trolleys, such as towed trailers(牵引车), Courrech du Pont added.With these masterminds working on perfecting our suitcase problems, wobbly luggage may soon be a thing of history, leaving us to enjoy our travels.32. The main purpose of the first two paragraphs is toA. show the importance of a good wheeled suitcase for travelB. lead up to the wobbling problem of wheeled suitcasesC. describe how unstable wheeled suitcases can beD. show that wobbling can cause wheeled suitcases to stop working33. According to the scientists, when a suitcase meets with an obstacle,A. the swaying will stop for a momentB. its two wheels will jump into the air at the same timeC. even a small obstacle can lead to a serious damageD. there is a series of repeated actions leading to the swaying34. What can be done to keep a suitcase steady on an uneven path according to the text?A. Slow down. B. Pull the suitcase at a faster speed.C. Raise the handle of the suitcase. D. Increase the angles of the suitcase.35. According to the article, the findings could .A. help improve the design of suitcasesB. solve the wobble of suitcases completelyC. be helpful in the advancement of treadmillsD. be used to develop blades for boats第二节(共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分)Swimming at the beach or in a backyard pool are well-known Australian summer activities.
