13、When Susan White went back to high school a couple of years ago, she never had any thought about actually getting a high school diploma.
“I just wanted to learn more,” she said. But when she found out that many of her classmates were planning to graduate, Mrs. White recalled(回顾), “I said my young friends can graduate from high school, so can I.”
She seems to have been right. As soon as she finishes a history course, Mrs. White will graduate next month. And when she does, she will enter the record books as the oldest person ever to graduate from high school in the United States.
Mrs. White is 98 years old and nobody has finished high school at an older age.
Mrs. White dropped out of school(退学) in the 10thgrade, but her ability to learn has clearly not been reduced after she left school for 80 years. Since going back to her studies, she has kept up a straight record that is the highest possible.
Now that she is about to get a diploma, Mrs. White has become a strong believer in getting a good education.
“I don’t like anyone dropping out of school,” she said. “It makes me mad when a person decides to leave school, because future generations(后代) will have to know even more than we do in order to survive(生存)”.Mrs. White sets a good example of lifelong study!
1．Mrs. White dropped out of school when she was about_____.
A．15. B．18 C．20 D．10
2．How many other students older than Mrs. White have got a school diploma?
A．None B．One C．Two D．A few
3．Which of the following is Not true?
A．Mrs. White has decided to graduate from high school.
B．Mrs. White has already got a high school diploma.
C．Mrs. White is the oldest person ever to graduate from high school in the US.
D．Mrs. White said that the young had to know more.

14、 Science has a lot of uses. It can uncover laws of nature, cure diseases, make bombs, and help bridges to stand up. Indeed science is so good at what it does that there’s always a temptation(诱惑) to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful. David Brooks, author of The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character, and Achievement, appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to go against the temptation.
Brooks gained fame for several books. His latest book The Social Animal, however, is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books. It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics. The book focuses on big questions: What has science uncovered about human nature? What are the sources of character? And why are some people happy and successful while others aren’t?
To answer these questions, Brooks studies a wide range of disciplines（学科）. Considering this, you might expect the book to be a simple description of facts. But Brooks has formed his book in an unusual, and perhaps unfortunate way. Instead of introducing scientific theories, he tells a story, within which he tries to make his points, perhaps in order to keep the reader’s attention. So as Harold and Erica, the hero and heroine in his story, live through childhood, we hear about the science of child development and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction. Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters.
On the whole, Brooks’ story is acceptable if uninspired. As one would expect, his writing is mostly clear and, to be fair, some chapters stand out above the rest. I enjoyed, for instance, the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own. While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong or memorable characters, the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere. These problems partly involve Brooks’ attempt to translate his tale into science.
1．The author mentions the functions of science at the beginning of the passage to__________.
A．explain where science can be applied
B．show the value of Brooks’ new book
C．remind the reader of the importance of science
D．explain why many writers use science in their works
2．According to the author, which of the following could be a strength of the book?
A．Its strong basis. B．Its clear writing.
C．Its convincing points. D．Its memorable characters.
3．What is the author’s general attitude towards the book?
A．Contradictory. B．Supportive. C．Cautious. D．Critical.
4．What is the author likely to write about after the last paragraph?
A．Death of the characters. B．Brooks’ life experience.
C．Problems with the book. D．Brooks’ translation skills.

15、 These people come from the poorest places of Kenya. They were beggars and workers on the farm. However, they are people with dreams and hopes. Thanks to Jamii Bora, thousands of them are realizing their dreams.
When Ingrid Munro worked in the UK she learned about the lives of the poor, so she always tried her best to help the poor. And in 1988,Munro and her Canadian husband had adopted（收养）a homeless boy. This boy had been run over by a bus and was unable to walk freely. Munro's learning about the hard lives of the poor increased when she adopted the boy's two brothers two years later.
In 1999 she decided to start a small club in Kenya. The members would be 50 women, beggars who had been kind to children. No one imagined it could become so successful that it would change into a bank called Jamii Bora Bank. Munro did not expect that it would turn out to be such a great success. Instead of employing（雇佣） experts, she has trained those women herself. And she employs ex-beggars, the ones who joined them in the very early days and have come out of poverty. She teaches these beggars how to do everything from the beginning. What makes this bank different from others is the way they treat the borrowers. They help these poor people educate their children, and help with housing. They even teach business skills so that people can live a better life.

16、Although people everywhere seem to enjoy drinking coffee，they don't all have the same coffee culture. In Europe for example, coffee shops are common places for people to meet friends while they drink coffee. On the other hand, places like this were not as common in North America in the past. Instead, people in North America liked to drink coffee in their homes with friends. The coffee culture in the USA changed, when Starbucks (星巴克) coffee shops spread throughout the country．
The first Starbucks coffee shop opened in 1971 in downtown Seattle, Washington，in the USA．It was a small coffee shop that cooked its own coffee beans. The coffee shop's business did well, and by 1981 there were three Starbucks stores in Seattle.
Things really began to change for the company in 1981. That year, Howard Schultz met the three men who ran Starbucks. Schultz worked in New York for a company that made kitchen equipment (设备) . He noticed that Starbucks ordered a large number of special coffee makers, which caused his great interest. Schultz went to Seattle to see what Starbucks did. In 1982, the original Starbucks owners hired Schultz as the company's head of marketing (市场营销).
In 1983, Schultz traveled to Italy. The special environment of the espresso (浓咖啡) bars there caught his eyes. Back in the USA, Schultz created an environment for Starbucks coffee shops that was comfortable and casual, and customers everywhere seemed to like it. Starbucks began opening more stores in the USA．Then the company opened coffee shops in other countries as well. Today, there are more than 16,000 Starbucks coffee shops all over the world.
However，that does not mean Starbucks has not had problems. In fact, many Starbucks stores have closed over the past few years. On the one hand, this is because there were too many coffee shops competing (竞争) for business in one small area. On the other hand, stores in some countries closed because the coffee culture there did not match with the comfortable environment offered by Starbucks.
1．The underlined word "ran" in Paragraph 3 probably means .
A．closed B．managed C．made D．sold
2．According to the passage, which is the right order for the following sentences？
a.This man helped to make Starbucks a huge coffee company.
b.Starbucks began as a small coffee company in Seattle in the USA．
c.He went to Seattle to learn about the company and later worked for it.
d.Howard Schultz found Starbucks ordered lots of special coffee makers.
A．a﹣b﹣d﹣c B．c﹣a﹣b﹣d C．b﹣d﹣c﹣a D．d﹣c﹣a﹣b
3．Why did so many Starbucks close in small areas？
A．Because the coffee in these places was too expensive
B．Because the style of the coffee stores seems the same．
C．Because people like to drink coffee at home with friends
D．Because there were too many coffee shops in one place．
4．To tell us the story of Starbucks, the writer did the following except .
A．introducing how Starbucks became successful
B．showing what Schultz did to help Starbucks become successful
C．telling what difficulties Starbucks faces
D．telling what Starbucks did to deal with his problems
5．What's the best title for the passage？

C．The Popularity of Starbucks D．The environment of Starbucks
