23．（8分） My wife, daughter, and I moved into our home nine years ago and we spent a lot of time and energy in the yard to get it looking like the way it does today. We live on a corner, higher than street level, and the entire side of the yard is surrounded by a professionally built rock wall. The front of the house though is another story because instead of a wall along the sidewalk, the rocks appear to be just thrown up onto the dirt as if someone were in a hurry to finish.
We did the best we could with what we had to work with and called this area our “rock garden”. Whenever we had leftover flowers or plants, Denise or I would stick them out front, just to bring some color to the area. We would do all of the yard work on our own, even the tiring weed-pulling.
Last summer I had reached the end of the rock garden and found a tiny little plant that I could not immediately identify, I knew I didn’t plant it and Denise claimed that she didn’t either. We decided to let it continue growing until we could figure out what it was.
Weeks passed and as I made my way back to the mystery plant, it appeared to be a Sunflower with a tall skinny stalk（茎，杆）and only one head on it. I decided to baby it along and weed around it. As I pulled rocks from the area to get to the weeds, I noticed something unusual. The Sunflower had not started where I saw the stalk begin. It actually had begun under a big rock and grown under and around it to reach the sun.
That’s when I realized that if a tiny little Sunflower didn’t let a big rock stand in its way of developing, we too have the ability of doing the same thing. Once our environment begins to see that we believe in ourselves like that little Sunflower, we can attain the same nourishment（营养）and growth as well.
Stand tall like the Sunflower and be proud of who and what you are and the environment will begin to support you. You will find a way to go under or around your big obstacle in order to reach your desires.
1、We can know from the first paragraph that ______.
A．the author finished building his home hurriedly
B．the author’s family have lived in this home for nine years
C．the author’s home is made of rock walls
D．there is a wall along the sidewalk
2、The author found it unusual that ______.
A．the mystery plant turned out to be a Sunflower
B．the Sunflower had a tall stalk and only one head
C．the Sunflower grew under and around a big rock
D．the Sunflower had started where the stalk was seen
3、Which of the following best describes the Sunflower?
A．Brave and stubborn B．Confident and persistent
C．Optimistic and modest D．Mysterious and devoted
4、What can be inferred from this passage?
A．Human beings are able to remove obstacles
B．The universal truth made the sunflower survive
C．A big rock blocked out the sunlight of the sunflower
D．We can achieve success as long as we are self-confident
24．（8分）Lakshmi grew up in India in the first half of the twentieth century, seeing many people around her who did not get enough food, were often sick and died young.
In the 1960s, was asked to help manage a program to improve nutrition in her country. At that time, most advice on nutrition came from North American and European countries. Nutritionists suggested foods that were common and worked well for people who lived in these nations.
For example, they told poor Indian women to eat more meal and eggs and drink more orange juice. But Lakshmi knew this advice was useless in a country like India. People there didn’t eat such foods. They weren’t easy to find. And for the poor, such foods were too expensive.
Lakshmi knew that for the program to work, it had to fit Indian culture. So she decided to adjust the nutrition program. She first found out what healthy middle-class people in India ate. She took note of the nutrients (营养物）available in those foods. Then she looked for cheap, easy-to-find foods that would provide the same nutrients.
She created a balanced diet of locally grown fruits, vegetables, and grains. These foods were cheap and could be cooked with simple equipment. Her ideas were thought unusual in the 1960s. For example, she insisted that a diet without meal could provide all major nutrients. Now we know she was right. But it took her continuous efforts to get others to finally accept her diet about 50 years ago. Because of Lakshmi’s program, Indian children almost doubled their food intake. And many children who would have been hungry and ill grew healthy and strong.
1、Why did Lakshmi think European nutritionists’ advice was useless?
A．It worked well for European people.
B．It suggested too many foods for Indians.
C．It was not practical in India at that time.
D．It included foods that didn’t exist in India.
2、Lakshmi studied healthy middle-class people’s diet in order to .
A．know about their eating habits B．learn about Indian culture
C．find out nutrients in their food D．write a report on food nutrients
3、Lakshmi’s balanced diet was considered unusual because people thought .
A．those foods were too cheap B．it should include some meat
C．it provided all major nutrients D．it enabled kids to grow healthy
4、What can we infer about Lakshmi?
A．She came from a rich family.
B．She disliked middle-class people.
C．She worked with European nutritionists.
D．She was a determined scientist.
25．（10分）Recently I and other Red Cross volunteers met a group of victims from Hurricane Katrina. We were there, as mental health professionals, to offer “psychological(心理的) first aid” and I was struck by the simple healing power of presence. As we walked in the gate to the shelter, we were greeted with a burst of gratitude from the first person we met. I felt appreciated, but also guilty, because I hadn’t really done anything yet.
I first realized the power of presence many years ago when a friend’s mother passed away unexpectedly. I had received a call saying she had just passed away. I wanted to rush down there immediately, but didn’t want to disturb this very personal period of sadness. I was torn about what to do. Another friend with me then said, “Just go. Just be there.” I did, and I will never regret it.
Since then, I have not hesitated to be in the presence of others. Once I sat at the bedside of a young man suffering from the pain of his AIDS-related dying. He was not awake, and obviously unaware of others’ presence. However, the atmosphere was by no means solemn. His family, playing guitars and singing, allowed him to be present with them as though he were still fully alive.
In my life, I am repeatedly struck by the healing power of presence. In it, none of us are truly alone. It is not only something we give to others but also changes me for the better.
1、Why were the hurricane victims grateful to the author?
A．He built shelters for them.
B．He came to stay with them.
C．He gave immediate first aid to them.
D．He brought mental health professionals.
2、What did the author do when his friend’s mother passed away?
A．He decided not to disturb.
B．He went to his friends’ at once.
C．He knew what to do instantly.
D．He hesitated over whether to go.
3、What does the underlined word “solemn” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．Heavy but warm.
B．A little sad but comfortable.
C．Relaxing and delightful.
D．Very serious and unhappy.
4、What has the author learned from his experience?
A．Being present can make a big difference.
B．A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C．The family harmony is the happiest thing in life.
D．Being a volunteer can make one’s life more significant.
