According to the passage，Yellowstone National Park isA. the largest designated vulture reserveB. the worlds first national parkC. a park with an area of 8，987milesD. the only national park in AmericaBHave you wondered why different animals or pests have their particular colours? Colours in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.Birds, especially seagulls are very fond of locusts(蚱蜢), but birds cant easily catch locusts because locusts change their colours together with the change of the colour of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But when crops are ripe, locusts take on exactly the same brown colour as crops have. Some other pests with different colours from plants are usually easily found and eaten by their enemies. So they have to hide themselves in terror for lives and appear only at night.If you study the animal life in any part of the world, you will find the main use of colouring is to protect themselves, bears, wolves and other beasts move quietly through forests. They are usually invisible to the eyes of hunters, because they have the colour much like the barks(树皮) of trees.An even more strange act remains to be noticed. A kind of fish living in seas can send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid is over, its enemies cannot find it, and it quickly swims away. Thus, it has existed up to now though it is not powerful at all.24. This passage mainly talks about _.A. the change of colour in locustsB. the protective colouration of animals and pestsC. how a certain sea fish protects itselfD. animals or pests can dye themselves different colours25. The pests that have different colours from plants usually appear at night because _.A. their enemies can easily find them and eat themB. they have the habit of coming out in darknessC. its easy for them to destroy plants in darknessD. birds take their rests when night comes26. What does the underlined word “invisible” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Cant be seen B. Can be seen C. Cant move D. Cant change27. A certain fish living in seas has lived through millions of years because _.A. it is the most powerful in the seaB. no other fishes can swim as fast as it canC. it can send out a kind of liquid which makes its enemies unable to find itD. the liquid it sends out can kill its enemiesCI have forgotten the name of the old lady, who was a customer on my newspaper route when I was twelve-year-old boy back in 1954. Yet it seems like just yesterday that she taught me a lesson in forgiveness that I can only hope to pass on to someone else someday.On a Saturday afternoon, a friend and I were throwing stones onto the roof of the old ladys house. I found a smooth rock and sent it. The stone headed straight for a small window on the old ladys back door. At the sound of broken glass, we took off from the old ladys yard.I was too scared about getting caught that first night. However, a few days later when I was sure that I hadnt been discovered, I started to feel guilty for her misfortune.She still greeted me with a smile each day when I gave her the newspaper, but I was no longer able to act comfortably when seeing her.I decided to save my paper delivery money, and in three weeks I had the seven dollars that I thought would cover the cost of her window. I put the money in an envelop with a note saying that I was sorry for breaking her window and hoped that the seven dollars would cover the cost of repairing it.The next day, I handed the old lady her paper. She thanked me for the paper and gave me a bag of biscuits she had made herself. I thanked her and ate the biscuits as I continued my route.After several biscuits, I felt an envelope and pulled it out of the bag. When I opened the envelope, I was shocked. Inside were the seven dollars and a short note that said, “Im proud of you.”28. What work did the author do at the age of 12?A. Delivering newspapers B. Collecting old papersC. Picking rocks D. Repairing roofs29. Why did the author and his friend escape from the old ladys yard?A. They broke the old ladys back door. B. They heard the old lady shouting.C. They broke the old ladys window. D.

According to the passage, the old lady was a person who was _.A. strict B. patient C. rough D. generousDAs a frequent traveler, my goal for each trip is to travel light. Despite(尽管) thoughtful planning, I cant always get my packing right, ending up taking more than I need . work is like that, too. We often bring too much baggage. It may not look like baggage, but it weighs us down just the same.Ive found, after twenty years of management, most people bring suitcases full of self-doubt(缺乏自信的), old problems from old relationships and self-fulfilling(相信一定会发生的) forecasts to work every day, and it stifles(抑制) them. Most people let past work experience decide their future ones.Theyre like the travelers in a story that I once heard. One day a young man stopped his car on the side of the road. An elderly woman paused from her gardening as he approached(靠近). “ Im thinking of moving to this town,” he told her, “and I was wondering if you could tell me what the people are like here.” “well” she said, “ what were the people like where you live before?” “Demanding and competitive, and not very helpful,” he said. “well” she told him, “ I think youll find people the same way here.”A little while later another man stopped and approached the woman. Again she was asked what the townspeople were like and again she asked the traveler what his experience had been where had been where he lived before. “Oh, the people were great. Everyone was helpful and supportive- a real community.” “youll find people the same way here,” she said.People who are winning at work are like the second traveler. They know that they tend to get what they expect from work ( and life), and if they have emotional baggage and poor expectations, they will get poor results.They also know how to travel light. Theyve learned what essentials to pack. They bring to work only those skills and experience that will positively impact their work and the future. They leave the rest of their baggage behind. Want to win at work? Travel light.32. What will affect most people at work?A. They cant get their packing right.B. They often bring too much baggage to travel.C. They are burdened by past work experience.D. They dont believe in themselves.33. What can we learn about the second traveler in the story?A. He is commanding and indifferent to his townspeople.B. He is good at getting along well with people and management.C. He will win at work and make a lot of money.D. He will bring helpful experience with him to do a better job.34. What is the main difference between the two travelers in the story?A. The first traveler is young and rich, and the second one is not.B. The first traveler is polite, while the second one is.C. They hold different attitudes towards their townspeople.D. They have different relationships with the woman.35. Whats the best title for the passage?A. Get Your Packing Right B. Travel Light to WorkC. Working Is Like Traveling D. Forget Your Past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。Are you really happy?
