A

Just a couple of hours ago, I was on the plane, ready to fly home from London. The flight had been delayed by a few hours so it felt good to be so close to take-off. I had my iPod in place and a new book to read. Then, over the loudspeaker came the pilot’s voice: “The ground crew has found a metal instrument in one tire. We regret that we must cancel this flight.”

The passengers’ reactions that announcement led to were interesting. One man close to me began to argue with a flight attendant. A couple in another row complained loudly. A businessman in a black suit actually kicked the seat in front of him. Yet some passengers responded differently. An elderly gentleman smiled as he helped others take their bags down from the overhead compartments. A teenager, rather than trying to rush off the plane like most of the other passengers, stopped to help a woman with a disability. The lady sitting next to me laughed and said: “Hey, it’s not the end of the world,” before she made a call to her kids and shared her adventure with them, the wisest among us who has a remarkable ability to maintain grounded(稳定的) when times get tough.资*源%库

No life is perfect; mine certainly isn’t. We all must face challenges, both large and small. You and I have the power to choose to rise above the external circumstances(外部环境). We always have the choice to be strong and kind when things fall apart.

That’s grace under pressure. My seatmate was right — things could have been so much worse. Anyway, I am safe. I have my health. I have two wonderful children. I have work I love and so much to be grateful for. Sure I now have to wait a few hours to catch the next flight home.

21. What caused the passengers’ different reactions?

A. The loudspeaker.B. The delay of the flight.

C. The ground crew’s fault.D. The pilot’s announcement.

22. Who turned his anger on the seat?

A. A teenager helping the disabled.B. An old man taking bags down.

C. A man in a black suit. D. A man close to the author.

23. What did the woman sitting next to the author do?

A. She assisted a disabled woman.B. She made a phone call to her family.

C. She helped others carry their luggage.D. She told moving stories to her children.

24. What can we learn from the story?

A. Our life is full of ups and downs.

B. It is natural to be scared under pressure.

C. We should help each other in times of difficulty.

D. We should be positive and calm when life is hard.

B

A warm smile on the street, a happy “hello” in a public park or the cheery sound of your name at the neighborhood bar — it doesn’t take much to feel at home in a busy city. And in the following cities, these gestures are second nature, with locals who are quick to welcome visitors and neighbors alike.

Dublin, Ireland

Dublin is home to some of the warmest people on the planet. One of Europe’s smaller capital cities, Dublin also benefits from a low crime rate and a widespread feeling of security(安全), so residents are more likely to lend a stranger a helping hand. Locals speak in hushed tones in public. Talking too loudly in public gives the impression of being careless at best, and rude at worst.

Auckland, New Zealand

New Zealand’s biggest city is also the country’s friendliest, perhaps because many of its residents are immigrants(移民). People have come from all over the world and understand what it is like to have moved to a different place, so it is welcoming for tourists and new residents. Also, the city is surrounded by amazing scenery and things. That’s got to make people a bit happier, and therefore friendlier.

Charleston, United States

This city has a quiet outdoor environment that helps keep residents in good spirits. Even when you go to the department of motor vehicles, you get a smile. Like many southern US cities, Charleston moves at a slower pace. People take time to sit outside, talk to neighbors and walk to dinner.

Victoria, Canada

A popular tourist destination with a busy cruise port, the capital of British Columbia is known for first-rate customer service and kind hosts. Even the post men and women are super friendly and often say “good morning”. It’s got a small town and big city feel all at the same time.

25. What can be inferred from the underlined part?

A. The behavior of locals does not represent their true nature.

B. It is likely that locals would hesitate to welcome visitors.

C. Locals perform the acts naturally and without thinking.

D. Locals do not feel at home in these busy cities.

26. In which city are locals more likely to understand tourists and new residents?

A. Dublin.B. Auckland.C. Charleston.D. Victoria.

27. What is the main purpose of the passage?

A. To introduce the tourism in some cities.

B. To show the friendliness of different cities.

C. To make a comparison between some cities.

D. To analyze the nature of people from different countries.

C

Reading to dogs is an unusual way to help children improve their literacy skills(读写能力) . With their shining brown eyes, wagging tails, and unconditional love, dogs can provide the nonjudgmental listeners needed for a beginning reader to gain confidence, according to Intermountain Therapy Animals (ITA) in Salt Lake City. The group says it is the first program in the country to use dogs to help develop literacy in children, with the introduction of Reading Education Assistance Dogs (READ).

The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea. “Literacy specialists admit that children who read below the level of their fellow pupils are often afraid of reading aloud in a group, often have lower self-respect, and regard reading as a headache.” said Lisa Myton, manager of the children’s department.

Last November the two groups started “Dog Day Afternoon” in the children’s department of the main library. About 25 children attended each of the four Saturday-afternoon classes, reading for half an hour. Those who attended three or four of the classes received a “paw graphed” book at the last class.

The program was so successful that the library plans to repeat it in April, according to Dana Thumpowsky, public relations manager.

28. What is mainly discussed in the text?

A. Children’s reading difficulties.B. Advantages of raising dogs.

C. Service in a public library.D. A special reading program.

29. Specialists use dogs to listen to children reading because they think ______.

A. dogs are young children’s best friends

B. children can play with dogs while reading

C. dogs can provide encouragement for shy children

D. children and dogs understand each other

30. By saying “The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea,” the writer means the library

______.

A. uses dogs to amuse childrenB. accepts the idea put forward by ITA

C. has opened a children’s departmentD. has decided to train some dogs

31. The underlined part “a ‘paw graphed’ book” is most probably ______.

A. a book used in Saturday classesB. a book written by the children

C. a prize for the childrenD. a gift from parents

D

The poaching(偷猎), or illegal killing, of rhinos in South Africa is growing worse each year. The government recently reported that a record number of rhinos were poached in 2014, a year which had more rhino killings in South Africa than ever before.

The World Wildlife Fund, or WWF, says about 20, 000 rhinos live in South Africa. That is more than 80 percent of the rhinos in the world. Edna Molewa, South Africa’s Environment Minister, says, “During 2014, we are sad to say this, 1, 215 rhinos were killed. This is a rise in the number of poached rhinos from 1, 004 in 2013 and indeed very worrying.”

The animals are hunted for their horns. Many people in Asia believe the horn has curing power, which drives poachers, at all costs, mad for more horns. But there is no scientific evidence for this belief. The horn is made of keratin. That is the same thing as human hair, fingernails and toenails.

Ms. Mo1ewa said 386 suspected poachers were arrested last year, an increase from the year before. But rhino protection workers say poachers often go unpunished after arrest. South Africa’s legal system is ineffective. Ms. Mo1ewa said more needs to be done and South Africa is taking strong measures to protect rhinos. The efforts include moving some of the animals to secret places in neighboring countries. “Now approximately 100 rhinos have been moved to neighboring states in the SADC region during 2014 and 200 more rhinos will be moved this year,” Molewa said.

Jo Shaw, the rhino program manager at the WWF, said, “We’re talking about a loss of a hundred rhinos a month, or more than three a day. We really need to see effective action not just at a national level but internationally.” She says officials should find the criminal groups responsible for the poaching and punish them. Government officials are to meet in Botswana in March at the Intergovernmental Conference on Illegal Wildlife Trade.

32. According to paragraph 2, we know ______.

A. half of the rhinos live in South Africa.

B. less than 1,000 rhinos were killed in 2013.

C. the killing in 2014 was more than that in 2013.

D. there are only 20,000 rhinos left in the world.

33. What is the main reason for people to hunt rhinos?

A. To get more keratin. B. To protect the farmland.

C. To use them for decoration. D. To make money from horns.

34. Jo Shaw thinks that ______.

A. many criminal groups are well organized

B. new laws are needed to punish the killers

C. rhino protection needs international cooperation

D. conferences about protecting rhinos are to be held every year

35. What can we infer from the text?

A. Rhino protection has a long way to go.

B. No one would like to buy horns in the future.

C. The illegal killing of rhinos will soon disappear.

D. Rhinos living in South Africa will move to other countries.

Dear Peter,

How are you doing? I am very glad to receive your e-mail asking me about my plan for the coming summer holiday. Now I have worked out my schedule.

Firstly, I want to read some famous English classics, which will be able to help me learn about the cultures of foreign countries and improve my English level. Secondly, I am going to learn to cook by myself in order to develop my ability of independent living. Besides, I will spare some time to take an active part in some voluntary work in the nearby community, which I believe will make a difference to society.

Do you have better advice for me? I’d appreciate it if you could reply earlier.

Yours,

Li Hua
