   阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
   A
   I always felt sorry for the people in wheelchairs. Some people, old and weak, cannot get around by themselves. Others seem perfectly healthy, dressed in business suits. But whenever I saw someone in a wheelchair, I only saw a disability, not a person.
   Then I fainted (晕倒) at Euro Disney due to low blood pressure. This was the first time I had ever fainted, and my parents said that I must rest for a while after First Aid. I agreed to take it easy but, as I stepped towards the door, I saw my dad pushing a wheelchair in my direction. Feeling color burn my cheeks, I asked him to wheel that thing right back to where he found it.
   I could not believe this was happening to me. Wheelchairs were fine for other people but not for me, as my father wheeled me out into the main street, people immediately began to treat me differently.
   Little kids ran in front of me, forcing my father to stop the wheelchair suddenly. Bitterness set in as I was thrown back and forth. “Stupid kids… they have perfectly good legs. Why can’t they watch where they are going?” I thought. People started down at me, with pity in their eyes. Then they would look away, maybe because they thought the sooner they forgot me the better.
   “I’m just like you!” I wanted to scream. “ The only difference is you’ve got legs, and I have wheels.”
   People in wheelchair are not stupid. They see every look and hear each word. Looking out at the faces, I finally understood: I was once just like them. I treated people in wheelchairs exactly the way they did not want to be treated. I realized it is some of us with two healthy legs who are truly disabled.

Why play games? Because they are fun. Besides, following the rules, planning your next move, acting as a team member, these are all “game” ideas that you will come across throughout your life.

Think about some of the games you played as a young child, such as rope-jumping and hide-and-seek. Such games are entertaining and fun. But perhaps more importantly, they translate life into exciting dramas that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as taking turns and cooperating.

Many children’s games have a practical side. Children around the world play games that prepare them for work they will do as grown-ups. For instance, some Saudi Arabian children play a game called bones, which sharpens the hand-eye coordination(协调) needed in hunting.

Many sports encourage national or local pride. The most famous games of all, the Olympic Games, bring athletes from around the world together to take part in friendly competition. People who watch the event wave flags, knowing that a good medal is a win for an entire country, not just the athlete who earned it. For countries experiencing natural disasters or war, an Olympic win can mean so much.

Sports are also events that unite people. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. People on all continents play it----- some for fun and some for a living. Nicolette Iribarne, a Californian soccer player, has discovered a way to spread hope through soccer. He created a foundation to provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a promising future.

Next time you play your favorite game or sport, think about why you enjoy it , what skills are needed, and whether these skills will help you in other aspects of your life.

28. Through playing hide-seek, children are expected to learn to ________.

1. be a team leader B. obey the basic rules

C. act as a grown-up D. predict possible danger

29. The underlined part in Paragraph 2 most probably means that games can _________.

A. describe life in an exciting way

B. turn real-life experiences into a play

C. make learning life skills more interesting

D. change people’s views of sporting events

30. According to the passage, why is winning Olympic medals so encouraging?

A. It inspires people’s deep love for the country.

B. It proves the exceptional skills of the winners.

C. It helps the country out of natural disasters.

D. It earns the winners fame and fortune.

31. What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Games benefit people all their lives.

B. Sports can get all athletes together.

C. People are advised to play games for fun.

D. Sports increase a country’s competitiveness(竞争力).

D

British engineers at a company called Reaction Engines, have successfully tested a whole new kind of jet engine, named Sabre, Financial Times is reporting, so that the time of long-distance flight could be halved, or even quartered. Britain’s Orange News says jets with the new engine could fly from London to Sydney in four hours, instead of the usual twelve to sixteen hours and Mail Online adds that new engine not only allows for faster travel but pollutes less and the fuel forit costs less as well.

The secret to the new engine is patented(获得专利) and this new technology very quickly changes air from normal temperature to super-cold temperature. This means the engine can run faster without breaking apart due to overheating, which keeps most modern jets from traveling faster. The engine is air-breathing and use hydrogen as its fuel source. In addition to flying faster, a jet with the new engine would also fly much higher, allowing for an even faster flight in the very thin air. Because of the very high speed produced by the engine and the high altitude, a jet with Sabre in it would not have any windows.

This is the biggest breakthrough in jet technology since the invention of the jet engine, and they expect new aircraft with the new engine to be traveling in the sky in just ten years. They also note that tests of the engine were overseen by the European Space Agency which has now wholly supported the new engine and has even begun talking about booking flight time with future jets that could be used to deliver satellites into orbit around the earth.

This technology is not something that happens overnight. Instead, it is the result of many years’ hard work by thousands of engineers from over seventeen countries. Research has suggested that, with advances in jet plane technology to match the engine, flights could eventually reach speeds of nearly 20,000 miles per hour, making travel to distant parts of the globe as quick and simple as driving across town.

1. Which advantage of jets with the new engine is NOT mentioned?

1. traveling faster     B. polluting less

C. costing less   D. flying more safely
33. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to ?

A. Reaction Engines     B. a long-distance flight

C. a jet with the new engine  D. Mail Online

1. The modern jets without the new engine can’t travel faster mainly because _______.

1. their engines can’t stay cool
2. they use a normal fuel source
3. they just fly at very high altitudes
4. their engines can’t allow jets to fly in the thin air
   35. The European Space Agency hoped to _____________.

1. be in charge of testing the technology
2. play the leading role in jet technology
3. use jets with the new engine to launch satellites
4. buy all the products made by Reaction Engines

If something that you’re doing doesn’t challenge you, then it doesn’t change you. We all need some normal stress in our lives, after all. 36 So challenge the following limits:

1. Figure out what you are scared of and do it continuously.
   If you are a salesman, and you’re scared of talking to people personally or over the phone, now, instead of being scared and thinking you will fail, spend at least five minutes a day to pick up the phone and make a call. 37 But don’t stop on the first try! Eventually, you can look at fear in the eyes and say, “ Go on, I’m not scared!”
2. Take a class for a hobby you’ve been wanting to develop.
   Make sure this hobby is not linked to your career; you have to relax and relieve your stress while performing this.38 Apart from helping you challenge yourself, taking a class for you hobby may also give you extra income.
3. Set aside at least nine minutes a day for physical exercise.
   39 A simple 9-minute run around your neighborhood can do wonders for yourself. Exercise can not only help you maintain your regular weight, but also make you feel better about yourself.
4. 40

Don’t just limit yourself to your fellow travelers---- try to connect with the service staff. You never know what kind of people they’re going to be. Get out of your house or go online right now to book you class. Start to travel now and learn to challenge yourself.

A.You should do it continuously.

B. You don’t need to go the gym.

C. Someone may make you disturbed.

D. Running in the gym may be a better choice.

E. Some examples might be cooking, sewing, painting and so on.

六． 书面表达：

As time goes by, many things flood in my memory. I still remember one thing keeping in my mind for long.

One day, my father would be absent from home on business. Saying goodbye to my mother and I, he reminded me to be responsible for my study as well as my family. Unfortunately, my mother fell ill soon and I was aware that she had a fever. So I took my duty to attend her carefully, helping her take some medicine regularly and cooking on my own. With the help of me, my mother recovered completely. Learning what I had done, my father thought highly of me after he returned home.

I think it necessary for us to give a hand for those in need, especially for our family members.
