It was a cold March day in High Point, North Carolina. The girls on the Wesleyan Academy softball were waiting for their next turns at bat during practice, stamping their feet to stay warm. Eighth-grader Taylor Bisbee shivered (发抖) a little as she watched her teammate Paris White play. The two didn’t know each other well—Taylor had just moved to town a month or so before.

    Suddenly, Paris fell to the ground, “Paris’s eye rolled back,” Taylor says. “She started shaking. I knew it was an emergency.”

    It certainly was, Paris had suffered a sudden heart failure. Without immediate medical care, Paris would die. At first, no one moved. The girls were in shock. Then the softball coach shouted out, “Does anyone know CPR?”

    CPR is a life-saving technique. To do CPR, you press on the sick person’s chest so that blood moves through the body and takes oxygen to organs. Without oxygen, the brain is damaged quickly.

    Amazingly, Taylor had just taken a CPR course the day before. Still, she hesitated. She didn’t think she knew it well enough. But when no one else came forward, Taylor ran to Paris and began doing CPR, “It was scary. I knew it was the difference between life and death,” says Taylor.

    Taylor’s swift action helped her teammates calm down. One girl called 911. Two more ran to get the school nurse, who brought a defibrillator, an electronic devices (器械) that can shock the heart back into work. Luck stayed with them: Paris’ heartbeat returned.

    “I know I was really lucky,” Paris says now. “Most people don’t survive this. My team saved my life”.

    Experts say Paris is right. For a sudden heart failure, the single best chance for survival is having someone nearby step in and do CPR quickly.

    Today, Paris is back on the softball team. Taylor will apply to college soon. She wants to be a nurse. “I feel more confident in my actions now,” Taylor says. “I know I can act under pressure in a scary situation.”

25.What happened to Paris on a March day?

A.She caught a bad cold. B.She had a sudden heart problem.
C.She was knocked down by a ball. D.She shivered terribly during practice.

26.Why does Paris say she was lucky?

A.She made a worthy friend. B.She recovered from shock.
C.She received immediate CPR. D.She came back on the softball team.

27.Which of the following words can best describe Taylor?

A.Creative and kind. B.Courageous and calm.
C.Warm-hearted and generous. D.Intelligent and professional.

C

When it comes to success in business and success in life, there are few qualities as important as confidence.

  People naturally have different levels of confidence. Some have a higher level of confidence than others do, but even those whose confidence is lacking can learn to build their level of confidence and reach their most important goals. Increasing self-confidence is one of the most common reasons people give for seeking the help of psychologists(心理学家）and other professionals.

     One of the many places where a greater level of confidence is useful is in the workplace. We all know how difficult it can be, for instance, to ask the boss for a raise. This process can be extremely difficult for those who lack confidence in their own abilities. After all, if you are unsure about your own abilities, how will you ever convince your boss that you deserve more money for the work you do?

     Even if you are not asking for that big raise, having plenty of confidence in your abilities is important to success. If you are certain of your abilities, chances are that those around you, whether they are your coworkers, your colleagues or your superiors(上级), will see that confidence, and that will help to assure them that you are the best at what you do.

     Being thought of as the person to go to, and being seen as an expert in your chosen field, is naturally very important to success on the job. If you can make yourself the person people go to for guidance and advice, you will help to protect yourself from the ever present danger of downsizing. After all, if you are a recognized expert at the office, you will be regarded as an indispensable member of the team.

     Having a high level of confidence, after all, does not mean overlooking the places where you could improve. Knowing what you do well and where you need help will help you enjoy increased success and confidence.

28.What is the passage mainly about?
A.The influence of confidence on one’s life.
B.The importance of confidence to success.
C.The difference of people’s confidence.
D.The judgment on one’s confidence.
29.Psychologists and other professionals can offer help to those _____.
A.who think their goals are hard to reach
B.who expect to give guidance to others
C.who want to ask the boss for a raise
D.who dream to be recognized experts
30.What does the underlined word indispensable in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A.important B.attractive C.outgoing D.energetic
31.What message does the author want to convey (传达) in the last paragraph?
A.To overlook one’s disadvantages.
B.To make full use of one’s advantages.
C.To have great confidence in one’s abilities.
D.To make objective(客观的) evaluations of one’s abilities.

The Great Wall of China, one of the greatest wonders of the world, was enlisted in the World Heritage by the UNESCO in 1987. Just like a gigantic dragon, the Great Wall winds up and down across deserts, grasslands and mountains, stretching about 6,700 kilometers from east to west of China. With a history of more than 2,000 years, some parts of the Great Wall are now in ruins or even entirely disappeared. However, it is still one of the most appealing attractions around the world.

  No one can tell for sure when the building of the Great Wall was started, but it is popularly believed that it originated as a military fortification(要塞) against intrusion(侵入）by tribes on the borders during the earlier Zhou Dynasty. Late in the Spring and Autumn Period, some states extended the defence work to prevent the attacks from other states.

  It was not until the Qin Dynasty that the separate walls were connected to form a defensive system by Emperor Qin Shi Huang. After the emperor unified the country in 214 BC, he ordered the construction of the wall. It took about ten years to finish and the wall stretched from Gansu Province to Jilin Province. The wall not only served as a defence in the north but also symbolized the power of the emperor.

  Further construction also experienced several dynasties. The present Great Wall in Beijing is mainly remains from the Ming Dynasty. Today, the Great Wall has become a must-see for every visitor to China. Few can help saying “Wow” when they stand on top of a beacon tower and look at this giant dragon. It has become a national pride of Chinese people.

32.The underlined word “appealing” probably means “______”.

A.huge B.attractive C.ordinary D.moving

33.In the Qin Dynasty, ______.

A.the construction of the Great Wall was finished in 204BC
B.the emperor wanted to invade other minor states
C.the defensive system of the Great Wall was separated
D.the Great Wall began its way from Jilin Province
34.According to the passage, the Great Wall _______.
A.is from the west to the east B.is as long as 6,700 miles
C.was built in several dynasties D.was begun in the Qin Dynasties

35.The best title for the passage probably is _______.

A.History of the Great Wall B.Culture of the Great Wall
C.Construction of the Great Wall D.Projection of the Great Wall

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.

You are one of the most familiar faces in class, not because you are funny or have great note-taking abilities but because you ask the most number of questions.   36      It is important to have a good way to ask questions. Here are a few tips for improving your questioning skills:

Be clear about what you want to know.

Be clear about what you want to know and frame your question accordingly.    37      If you beat around the bush, your teachers won’t be entirely sure what it is that you haven’t understood, or need an explanation for.

       38      

If you are uncertain about a particular subject, make it clear when it is being discussed. If you put your question in context(语境), you can be sure of it. Because questions often open up new avenues within a subject, doing this would benefit the whole class.

Don’t hesitate to talk to your teacher after class.

   39    Therefore, if you feel uncomfortable about asking a question in front of your classmates, wait till the class is over. This will probably put you more at ease.

Write down your questions.

   40      They may appear when you’re studying, reading or taking notes. Note them down on a piece of paper so that you won’t forget to ask them later. This can also make sure that you don’t have any unanswered questions when the exam approaches.

1. Don’t ask more questions once a time.
2. Questions may appear at any time.
3. Being curious is not a bad quality.
4. You may think it is good to ask no questions.
5. Ask questions related to the context.
6. A question needs to be easy to be understood and to the point.

G.One-to-one interactions(互动) are always much better than one-to-many.
