Lydia is Korean, and her family moved to our city so her husband could go to graduate school. We started talking, and she was apologetic about how bad her English was, but I didnt care. I knew how hard it was to learn a second language. I enjoyed chatting with Lydia as we watched our kids play.It was what came next that challenged me: Lydia asked if Id be willing to help her with her English.Now, I am not a teacher. I admire teachers, and Im grateful for teachers, and its because I admire what they do so much that I was quite sure that I couldnt do it myself. But Lydia was sure that she wanted my help. I was doubtful. I wasnt sure my help was even worth being called by that name.But because she asked me, I said yes. . :And that was the beginning of a friendship. Lydia and I spent afternoons sitting together and reading the newspaper, and as we did, she asked me questions when she had them - questions about language, yes, but also questions about the new culture she found herself in.In turn, I asked my own questions, growing curious about her home country and culture. We bonded over our shared faith and our struggles as mothers of kids with special needs, When I complimented（恭维） her cooking, she began to teach me about Korean food, eventually leading to a shared trip to explore the Korean grocery stores in our city.Because of Lydia, I learned more about my own hometown than I ever could have learned by myself.Im still not sure that Im any good as a teacher. But Im grateful I said yes when my neighbor asked me to help her with her English. That meant spending extra time with my neighbor, and that extra time meant she didnt remain just my neighbor. She became my friend. .24. What was Lydia sorry about?A. Her bad English. B. Her carelessness.C. Nobody teaching her English. D. Her poor life in a new place.25. What can be concluded from the fourth paragraph?A. The author admired teachers.B. The author wanted to be a teacher.C. The author didnt want to help Lydia.D.

To help others is to help ourselves.D. Where there is a will, there is a way.CYour car is a necessary part of your life. You use it every day. Of course, you want to hold on to it so you make sure it has the latest alarm and immobilizer. But despite all these, cars like yours are still stolen every day. In fact, in this country, one car is stolen almost every minute! And if your car is stolen, you only have a 50:50 chance of seeing it again.Each year, car crime costs nearly 3 billion. Of course, if youre insured, you wont lose out, or will you? Firstly, you will have to pay extra insurance later on, and then you may not be offered the full amount by the agent. You will probably have to hire a car and you will also lose the value of the contents and accessories (配件) in the car.Now comes the solution. An RAC Trackstar system, hidden in one of 47 possible secret locations in your car, is the key of our system. If your car is stolen, radio signals are sent at twenty-second intervals from the car to the RAC Trackstar National Control Center via a satellite network. Then a computer gives the vehicles exact location, speed and direction.The RAC Trackstar National Control Center, which operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, will immediately inform the police in the area where the car is located. Because the police receive information every twenty seconds, they will always know the vehicles location. Once the thief has been arrested, your car will be returned to you.RAC Trackstar is unique in being able to provide the National Control Center with details of the exact location of your car, its speed and direction. And speed is the key to successful recovery of a stolen vehicle. RAC Trackstar Control will immediately tell the police if you report your car stolen and under the 24-hour Guardian Option. It will also tell you if your car has been stolen. RAC Trackstars constant updates mean the police are kept informed of the cars location. All these greatly improve your chances of seeing your car again.28. If your car is stolen, you will have to _.A. hire a new car B. pay more insuranceC. buy a RAC Trackstar system D. inform the National Control Center29. The Trackstar system can tell the police _.A. how the car is stolen B. who the thief isC. what brand the car is D. where the car is30. The underlined word “It” in the last paragraph refers to _.A. the RAC Trackstar Control B. the Guardian OptionC. the insurance company D. the local police station31. According to the passage, people with RAC Trackstar _.A. automatically find directions B. seldom get their vehicles damagedC. are more likely to get the stolen cars back D. have less chance of being in an accidentDIf I scratch your back and you scratch mine, then were both better off as a result-so goes the principle of reciprocity. As humans, we are familiar with the concept, whether it is by buying rounds of drinks or expelling diplomats. But do animals also help those who help them? The answer may be yes. A paper by Dolivo and Taborsky shows that Norway rats will only give as good as they get.In their laboratory, Dolivo and Taborsky first trained rats to pull on a stick that drew a food item within reach of a rat in a neighboring cage separated from them by wire mesh（钢丝网）.They then introduced a further treatment in which an experimental rat was placed in a cage with other caged rats on either side. On one side the rat pulled a stick that provided pieces of carrot to the rat in the central cage, while the other pulled a stick that produced banana pieces.In the following trials the focal rat( the one in the central cage)had the opportunity to repay the other rats using the same stick tool to deliver food items.Now, the rats had typically turned their noses up at the carrot and showed a strong preference for the more desirable banana. On the basis that the banana-providing rat should therefore remembered as the superior partner, the authors predicted that in the test phase(阶段) the focal rat would more readily provide help for banana-offering rats than for carrot-offering rats. This proved to be the case: the rats that had provided better help in the past received greater rewards - it seemed that they were behaving reciprocally.Dolivo and Taborsky s experiments show that rats can recall the quality of help provided and by which rat, and adjust their behavior so as to invest more time and energy in helping those that helped them. It is apparent that we shouldnt undervalue the ability of animals to engage in reciprocity.32. What does the underlined word reciprocity” probably refer to?A. The act of being kind to other people. B. A cooperative exchange of favors.C. A positive attitude to everything. D. The quality of being generous.33. What would happen if a rat pulled the stick?A. It would find some food in its own cage. B. Other rats would be able to enter its cage.C. Another rat in another cage would get food. D. It would be able to enter a neighboring cage.34. Which got more benefit from the focal rat?A. The rats that preferred carrot pieces. B. The rats that preferred banana pieces.C. The rats that had provided carrot pieces. D. The rats that had provided banana pieces.35. Which of the following might Dolivo and Taborsky agree with?A. Some animals may return others help. B. Norway rats have very poor memories.C. It is hard to explain the ability of animals. D. Rats behavior is very uncommon.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。Changing Peoples Bad Impression on UsSome of us have made bad first impressions in front of people we wanted to become good friends with.
