Common bikes are welcomed by all airlines.BOne day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order: I was to walk to the public library, and borrow at least one book for the summer. This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange probleminability to read.In the library, I found my way into the “Childrens Room.” I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle.There on the books cover was a beagle which looked identical to my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer.Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together.My mothers call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.I never told my mother about my “miraculous” experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in the literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held.24. The authors mother told him to borrow a book in order to _.A.encouragehimtodomorewalkingB.lethimspendameaningfulsummerC.helpcurehimofhisreadingproblemD. make him learn more about weapons25. The book caught the authors eye because_.A.itcontainedprettypicturesofanimalsB.itremindedhimofhisowndogC.hefounditstitleeasytounderstandD. he liked childrens stories very much26. Why could the author manage to read the book through?A.Hewasforcedbyhismothertoreadit.B.Heidentifiedwiththestoryinthebook.C.Thebooktoldthestoryofhispetdog.D. The happy ending of the story attracted him.27. Which one can be the best title of the passage?A.TheCharmofaBookB.MumsStrictOrderC.ReunionwithMyBeagleD.MyPassionforReadingCI long ago made peace with having a poor eye for art. But in the company of friends who consider themselves art experts, I have learned to nod when looking at a pile of broken dishes titled Fight and say, “Very interesting.”Be that as it may, not long ago, I unexpectedly came into a small piece of original art that has become my pride.Two summers back I took a trip to Greenland. I caught a flight out of Iceland and landed on Greenlands southern tip to mercifully pleasant weather. Seeing it for the first time-with its endless expanses of nothingness-it was difficult for me to grasp that such a place really exists.My first stop was a settlement called Igaliku. I found a bed in a small hotel. Other guests included two grandmotherly Inuit women and three children. The children were all around 5 years old. It turned out that the women were social workers and the children were three of their charges. I asked if I could take a few pictures. They smiled.Little Susanne, a little girl, showed great curiosity about my camera. While she examined the camera, I opened my journal and made a few notes. Without warning, Susanne produced some crayons, grabbed the journal, and began to draw in it.One of the women moved to take Susanne by the arm. I gestured for her not to. “Let her draw. What you see is a naughty kid, but what I see is Greenlandic art,” I said.Thats how I came into my one piece of original artwork, which hangs proudly on the wall. When visitors pause to admire it, I remark, “I find this artist very gifted, dont you?”And my guests were speechless at my words wondering at my judgment.28.What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 1?A. He has difficulty appreciating art.B. He pretends to be an art expert.C. He has very good taste in art.D. He prefers original art.29.What was the authors first impression of Greenland?A. It was difficult to reach.B. It was below expectations.C. Its climate was unbearable.D. Its beauty was beyond words.30.What did the author do when the little girl drew in his journal?A. He encouraged her.B. He photographed her.C. He gestured her not to.D. He watched admirably.31.What did the authors guests think of his comment on the original artwork?A. Quite silly. B. Rather brief.C. Really realistic. D. Very intelligent.DDo you know how it is when you see someone yawn (打哈欠) and you start yawning too? Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well, apparently its because we have mirror neurons(#l13/)in our brains.Put simply, the existence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something. our brain imitate(模仿)it, whether or not we actually perform the same action. This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile, talk, walk, dance or play sports. But the idea goes further: mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions, they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people.Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains, but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages, and to understand how other people fecl. Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language. A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to(for example: The hand took hold of the ball ). the same mirror neurons were triggered as when the action was actually performed (in this example.actually taking hold of a ball).Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much rescarch suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning. However, it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders.Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information concerning how humans behave and Interact(互动). Indeed, it may turn out to be the equivalent(相等物) for neuroscience of what Einstein s theory of relativity was for physics. And the next time you feel the urge to cough in the cinema when someone else doeswell perhaps you ll understand why.32. Mirror neurons can explainA.why we cry when we are hurt.B.why we cough when we suffer from a cold.C.why we smile when we see someone else smile.D.why we yawn when we see someone else stay up late.33. The underlined wordtriggeredin the third paragraph probably means“ ”.A. set off.B cut off. C. built up.D. broken up.34. We can learn from the passage that mirror neuronsA.determine our knowledge and language abilities.B.control human physical actions and feelings.C.result in bad behavior and social disorders.D.relate to human behavior and interaction.35. What is the passage mainly about?A.Functions of mirror neurons.B.Problem of mirror neurons.C.Existence of mirror neurons.D.Ways to find mirror neurons.第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。 (将选项涂在答题卡相应的36-40题）Summer is all about sun, fun and beach parties. Its a time when you have an opportunity to relax and forget about college. Summer is also a great season to start looking for your dream job. 36Discover your skills and talents. Many people look for a job without knowing what talents they have and what skills they can offer their employers.
