Passage A
After recovering from a vicious attack in Pakistan, Malala Yousafzai spoke at the United Nations. In a speech that was heard everywhere, she demanded education for everyone.
Two years later, Malala Yousafzai and another person were jointly presented with the Nobel Peace Prize. At 17, Malala had become the youngest person to ever receive it, and she offered these words. "I'm just a committed and even stubborn person who wants to see every child getting quality education. ... I tell my story, not because it is unique, but because it is not. ...I'm not a lone voice. ...I am those 66 million girls who are deprived of education."
A journalist asked her what she thought about the brutal assault. She smiled and said, "I think they may be regretting that they shot Malala. Now she is heard in every corner of the world." Today Malala lives in the UK and continues her campaign for education.
Many people have found unique ways to show their appreciation for Malala. Mary Ann Grainger of Canada saw a photograph of Malala sitting in a hospital bed, reading. Grainger was so moved that she made a sculpture of Malala holding her book. Now Grainger is planning to make copies of the sculpture in a variety of materials. She hopes that they will be installed in libraries, where others can see them and also be encouraged.
Another Canadian, Erinne Paisley, was wondering what to wear for her high school graduation. Instead of buying a dress, she made a paper one from her old homework papers. On the dress, Erinne wrote a few words to express her admiration for Malala and her appreciation for her own education. She also included Malala's Internet address, Malala.org, so that others could learn more about her.
21. What happened to Yousafzai when she was still a teenager?

Passage B
Yoga（瑜伽）is an ancient practice that helps create a sense of union in body, mind, and spirit. It brings us balance. After a long time of practice yoga, you no longer just practice it — you love it.
Yoga becomes part of your physical life. Your body grows stronger, more toned（有弹性的） , and more flexible as you move from one pose to another. I spent a week in Mexico at a yoga retreat, and it was the first vacation on which I lost weight. “Rather than building muscles, yoga builds muscle tone,” says Shakta Kaur Khalsa, author of K.I.S.S. Guide to Yoga. “Because yoga helps maintain a balanced metabolism（新陈代谢）, and it also helps to control weight. Additionally, yoga stretches muscles lengthwise, causing fat around the cells disappear, thus losing weight.”
I do yoga poses throughout the day. After hours at my computer, I stretch my stiff shoulders and arms. When I need an increase in energy, I do energizing poses. When I am feeling exhausted at the end of the day, I do restorative（恢复体力的）poses.
Yoga becomes part of your mental life. Yoga teaches you to focus on breathing while you hold the poses. This attention to breath is calming; it dissolves（使消除）stress and anxiety. I use yogic breathing on the tennis court, in the dentist’s chair, and when I’m stuck in traffic. You should always leave a yoga practice feeling energized, but not tired. If you feel tired after yoga, it means you spent the time “fighting” yourself, trying to force yourself into poses. In yoga, you “surrender” to the poses by letting go of the tension.
Yoga becomes part of your spiritual life. Yoga is practiced by people from all religions; it is not restricted to any religious group. Yoga teaches “right” living in how we deal with ourselves and others. As I work on a difficult pose, I learn patience, forgiveness, and the value of gentleness. Yoga advocates proper eating, but you don’t have to be a vegetarian to practice yoga.
25. What will be talked about if this passage continues?
A. Yoga as a means to keep fit. B. Different yoga poses.
C. Popularity of yoga all over the world. D. Encouraging people to do yoga.
26.Why does a person feel tired after yoga?
A. Because when practicing yoga, people will consume a lot of energy.
B. Because he or she surrenders to the poses by letting go of the tension.
C. Because yoga doesn’t benefit all the people.
D. Because he or she doesn’t do yoga poses naturally.
27.What would be the best title for this passage?
A. What’s yoga? B. How I do yoga poses?
C. The benefits of yoga. D. The varieties of yoga.
Passage C
BEIJING, China -- Chinese leaders announced on Thursday that they would officially end the country’s “one-child policy,” allowing couples to have two children instead. The policy, which was designed to help curb the country's population growth, has been one of the most controversial policies of the last century. Here's what you need to know now that the policy is on its way out.
Under Chairman Mao Zedong’s rule between 1949 and 1976, China’s population nearly doubled to 940 million people. That spike, combined with growing fears of global overpopulation, inspired China’s leaders to attempt to slow further growth.
China established the one-child policy in 1979. The “one-child” label itself is a bit of a misnomer. While urban families have largely been limited to one child, many couples were given exceptions, including ethnic minorities, rural families whose first child was a daughter and couples who were both only children. Still, for decades anyone who exceeded the birth limits was subject to escalating fines, as well as forced sterilizations(不孕) and abortions（流产） .
Chinese leaders and experts now see the policy as fueling massive economic and social problems. Limiting births has contributed to unfavorable demographics（人口统计资料）, with a shrinking number of people supporting an ever-growing retired population. The country’s economy once benefited from a “demographic dividend（红利，股息）” of a swollen working-age population, but China is starting to pay that debt down in the form of slowing growth and higher spending on health and retirements.
On top of age imbalances, the policy has also helped fuel an enormous sex-ratio imbalance: Experts predict that by 2020 China will have 30 million more marriage-age men than women. Traditional preferences for boys meant that families limited to one or two children often practiced illegal sex-selective abortions or abandoned newborn daughters. Authorities fear the resulting generation of bachelors could contribute to crime and social instability.
The Chinese Communist Party said it would allow for second children in all families, but further details on timing and regulations for “excess births” haven’t been announced. This is the latest and most decisive in a progressive series of steps to loosen the policy -- most notably, a change in 2013 allowed couples to have an extra child if either parent was an only child.
28. Which is the closest meaning of the underlined word “curb” in para.1 ?
A. advance B. cut C. control D. speed
29. Which was not the exception that a couple could have a second child before now ?
A. If they are ethnic minorities
B. If they are families whose first child was a daughter
C. If either parent was an only child
D. If they are couples who were both only children.
30. Why do experts predict that by 2020 China will have 30 million more marriage-age men than women?
A. Due to people’s age imbalances
B. Due to people’s practice of illegal sex-selective abortions
C. Due to people’s abandoning their newborn babies
D. Due to people’s traditional preferences for boys
31. Which may be the economic problem fueled by the policy?
A. A growing number of people supporting an ever-shrinking retired population
B. Higher spending on health and retirements
C. Crime and social instability
D. An enormous sex-ratio imbalance
Passage D
No one gets through life without experiencing many disappointments. Strangely, though, most people seem unprepared for disappointment and react to it in negative ways. They feel depressed or try to escape from their troubles instead of using disappointment as an opportunity for growth.
One negative reaction to disappointment is depression. A woman trying to win a promotion, for example, works hard for over a year in her department. Helen is so sure she will get the promotion. However, the boss names one of Helen’s co-workers for the spot. Deeply depressed, Helen loses her enthusiasm for her job and can barely force herself to show up every day. Helen tells herself that she is a failure and that doing a good job just isn’t worth the work.
Another negative reaction to disappointment is the desire to escape. Kevin fails to get into the college his brother is attending, the college that was the focus of all his dreams, and decides to escape his disappointment. Why worry about college at all? Instead, he covers up his real feelings by giving up on his school-work and getting completely involved with friends, parties, and “good times”.
The positive way to react to disappointment is to use it as a chance for growth. This isn’t easy, but it's the only useful way to deal with an inevitable part of life. Helen, the woman who was not promoted, could have handled her disappointment by looking at other options. If her boss did not recognize her talent and hard work, perhaps she could transfer to another department. Or she could ask the boss how to improve her performance so that she could prepare for the next promotion. Kevin, the boy who didn't get into the college of his choice, should look into other schools. Going to another college may encourage him to be his own person, step out of his brother's
