One family between us and the ticket counter made a big impression on me. There were eight children, all probably under the age of 12. The children were standing in line, two-by two behind their parents, holding hands. They were excitedly jabbering about the clowns（小丑），elephants and other acts they would see the night.The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly responded, “please let me buy eight childrens tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus.”The ticket lady told him the price. The wifes head dropped, and the man leaned a little closer and asked, “How much did you say?”The ticket lady again told him the price.The man didnt have enough money. How was he supposed to turn and tell his eight kids that he didnt have enough money to take them to the circus?Seeing what was going on, my dad put his hand into his pocket, pulled out a $ 20 bill and dropped it on the ground. (we were not wealthy in any sense of the word!) My father reached down, picked up the bill, tapped the man on the shoulder and said, “Excuse me, sir, this fell out of your pocket.”The man knew what was going on. He wasnt begging for money but certainly appreciated the help in a difficult, embarrassing situation. He looked straight into my dads eyes, took my dads hand in both of his, and he replied, “Thank you, thank you, sir. This really means a lot to me and my family.”My father and I went back to our car and drove home. We didnt go to the circus that night, but we didnt go without.21.

Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees nest and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helpera little bird called a honey guide.The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax（蜡）in the beehives(蜂房)。The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.25. Why is it difficult to find a wild bees nest?A.

His family was poor and he had a hard childhood. In 1912 he left England for the U.S and in 1914 he made his first film. In the film he created the character of a little man who always faced lifes difficulties with courage.Because he was very successful, he created his own film company in 1918.

A,B and CDWe all have to eat, but choosing the right foods can be hard. Many people also have trouble controlling how much they eat.Instead of eating a reasonable quantity of fruit, vegetables, whole grains, and other healthy foods, lots of people eat too many hamburgers, cookies and chips. Many people just eat too much food in general.One result is an epidemic（流行）of obesity, which has enlarged the waistlines of millions of adults and kids. The increase in obesity has led to an increase in the number of people with diabetes（糖尿病）, heart disease, cancer and other illnesses.But for many other people, food becomes their enemy. They worry so much abut getting fat that they either severely limit what they eat or make themselves throw up right after eating. Doctors say that these people have eating disorders.Eating disorders among teens are far less common than obesity, yet the health problems of eating disorders can be just as serious as obesity.Not eating enough can lead to heart attacks, weak bones, organ damage and fainting spells. Repeatedly throwing up causes chemical imbalances in the body, erodes(侵蚀) teeth, and destroys the stomach lining(胃黏膜).Researchers are doing research on what causes certain people to develop eating disorders, why some people are more at risk than others, and what kinds of education programs work best to prevent people from doing dangerous things to lose weight or stay slim.“its important to learn how to recognize the signs of eating disorders in yourself, your family members and your friends,” doctors say, “because research shows that getting treatment early on is the key to a quick recovery.”32. The underlined word in the third paragraph probably means “_”.A. being too fat B. being too thinC. being too worried D. being too old33.

According to the doctor, what is the most important thing for the early treatment of eating disorders?A. Knowing the signs of eating disordersB. Getting a quick recoveryC. Controlling what people eatD. Knowing the reasons for eating disorders.35. We can know from the passage that eating disorders can cause all of the following diseases EXCEPT _.A. diabetes B. heart attacksC. organ damage D. fainting spells第2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，并将答案涂在相应的答题卡上。Without plants, people could not live.
