It was nine oclock at night, and although many buses passed, none stopped.We waited for an hour and it was getting forlorn. We wouldnt be able to stay overnight because it was a weekday, and we both needed to work the next day. It was almost 10 pm when a family who had attended the same wedding passed by in their car. Probably sensing that we were waiting for some means of transport, they stopped and gave us a lift.I was so touched by their kindness, and I expressed my gratitude to them. When we reached my hometown, the family dropped us at the nearest point from where we could catch a shared taxi to get back to the spot where we had parked out bikes. On the way, a laborer stopped the taxi. The driver saw his clothes and asked him whether he had money to pay the fare.The laborer shook his head and said, “No.” On hearing this, the driver refused to take him. I remembered my own dilemma a few minutes earlier, and I told the driver to allow him to sit with us, as I would pay his fare. What an immediate opportunity to pass on the familys act of kindness!That night, I felt lightness in my heart, an I went to sleep, happy and filled with joy about what I had got to do. How I wish this chain of kindness could continue all over the world!24. Why did the family stop when passing by in their car?A. To wait for some means of transport.B.

From the passage, we can learn that the writer is _.A. honest and grateful.B. kind and helpful.C. humorous and creativeD. selfish and well-educatedCThe Swedish Academy that awards the Nobel Prize has apparently still been unable to contact Bob Dylan about his acceptance of the honour. On Thursday, Dylan gave a concert in Los Vegas and didnt mention the fact that he had just won the worlds most honored literary award. He didnt acknowledge it on Friday when he performed in Coachella, either. In a recent interview with The Telegraph, he said that hed “absolutely” attend the ceremony “if its at all possible”, and he finally called the Academy to accept the prize though later he wrote a personal letter to the Academy, which said he would not receive the award in person at the December ceremony in Stockholm. But what would happen if Dylan had continued to screen the Academys call?Jean-Paul Sartre is the only known winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature to have declined the award voluntarily; he had written a letter to the committee in 1964 asking not to be considered at all, but these were the days before email, and the letter arrived when they had already decided to give it to him that year. Sartre believed every individual is responsible for creating a purpose for their life. By accepting the prize, Sartre would have to associate himself with the institution that honored him. It is not the same thing if I sign Jean-Paul Sartre or if I sign Jean-Paul Sartre, Nobel Prize winner,” he complained. “A writer must refuse to allow himself to be transformed into an institution(名流), even if it takes place in the most honorable form.”Other writers have declined it because they feared persecution(迫害). The Soviet writer Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn did not travel to Stockholm for his ceremony in 1970, because he was concerned that the Soviet Union would not allow him to return afterwards. The committee refused Solzhenitsyns request for a public ceremony at the Swedish Embassy in Moscow, so he initially turned down the prize, but formally accept it in 1974 after he was exiled(放逐).But while it is possible to refuse to accept the prize money, it isnt possible to refuse the title. According to the students of the Nobel Foundation, Nobel Prize cannot ever be returned.28. Which word can replace the underlined “screen” in paragraph 1?A. Ignore.B. Examine.C. Abuse.D. Blame.29. Why did Sartre refuse the Nobel Prize?A. To keep things unchanged.B. He thought ill of the prize.C. To avoid adding weight to his name.D. The committees letter arrived too late.30. What did Solzhenitsyn ask the committee to do?A. Help him travel to Stockholm.B. Award him in Moscow.C. Publish his works worldwide.D. Protect him from being prisoned.31. What would be the possible result if Dylan refused the award?A. The prize money would belong to him.B. The award would be listed in his name.C. He would be forced to attend the ceremony.D. Someone else would accept the title instead.DThere is a popular saying in the English language: “Stick and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” Well, that is not true. Unkind words, name-calling or even the so-called “the silent treatment” can hurt children as much as being physically hit, sometimes even more so.A recent study of middle school children showed that verbal(语言的) abuse by other children can harm development in the brain. The study was a project of researchers at Harvard Medical School in Massachusetts. Researcher Martin Teicher and his team studied young adults, aged 18 to 25. These young men and women had not ever been treated in a cruel or violent way by their parents. The researchers performed imaging tests on the brains of the subjects(实验对象).The images showed that the people who reported suffering verbal abuse from peers in middle school had underdeveloped connections between the left and right side of the brain. The two sides of the brain are connected by a large bundle of connecting fibers called the corpus callosum. This was the area that was underdeveloped.The middle school years are a time when these brain connections are developing. So, unkind, hurtful comments from children or adults during this period have the greatest effect. The researches tested the mental and emotional condition of all the young people in the study. The tests showed that this same group of people had higher levels of fear, depression, anger and abuse than others in the study.The researchers published their findings online on the American Journal of Psychiatrys website.Parents cannot control what other people say to their children, but they can prepare their children.32. Why does the author use the popular saying at the beginning? A. To show the power of words.B. To prove the authors argument.C. To introduce an opposite view.D. To show ancient peoples wisdom.33. What does the subjects have in common?A. They were hurt by unkind words.B. They performed poorly in imaging tests.C. They had their brain slightly damaged.D. The experienced no physical abuse at home.34. What will be discussed in the next paragraph?A. Suggestions to parents.B. Approaches to further studies.C. Comments on the findings.D. Different opinions on the matter.35. What is the main idea of the passage?A. The way we speak matters.B. Verbal violence should be stopped.C. Unkind words hurt the brain.D. Words are worse than sticks and stones.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。Negative situations happen all the time.
