B
A mother had two daughters. She loved them very much, but two girls would fight with each other from their earliest years. As they grew older, they became total strangers. They had no contact with each other when they were adults.
This caused the mother great pain. Then, later, she had an idea. She decided to write a letter to them. In this letter, she told them how much she loved them, and how she wanted them to love each other in this way. She also gave them news of herself and some guidance on how to live happier lives.
When the letter was ready, she wrote out one copy for each daughter, but these copies were special. Each copy contained only every second sentence of the original letter: the copy for one daughter had only the even (双数的) sentences, and the other daughter’s copy contained only the odd sentences. Neither contained the fullness of the mother’s message.
When the two daughters received their letters, they were puzzled. To understand the half-letter, they would have to put the two letters together and read them as one, which meant they must approach one another again in love and respect. But they each blamed the other for not helping them when trying to read the half-letter.
For a long time, the mother waited in vain. Then one day, when the mother had almost given up hope, there was a knock at the door. There they stood, together. “We’ve come home,” they said at the same time. “We’ve finally put our letters together, and we’ve come to say how much we love you, Mum.” Then she hugged them both, tears of joy streaming down her cheeks, and welcomed them back home.
24. The mother gave her daughters incomplete letters mainly to ______.
A. tell them her news B. offer them advice
C. mend their relations D. win their hearts
25. Upon receiving their letters, the two daughters ______.
A. complained about each other as usual
B. put the letters together and read them
C. blamed her mother for the half-letter
D. understood the mother’s purpose at once
26. Why did the two daughters visit their mother at last?
A. They missed home very much.
B. They felt grateful for the mother.
C. They wanted to apologize.
D. They had put the letters together.
27. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Two Special Daughters
B. A Mother’s Endless Love
C.A Sincere Apology to Mother

The earliest newspapers started in ancient Rome. They were handwritten news sheets. The first printed newspapers appeared in China during the Tang dynasty, which were printed from carved(雕刻的) wooden blocks. Modern papers first appeared in Venice, Italy in the middle of the 14th century. The newspapers of today, with advertising and a mixture of political, economic, and social news and comments, were started in Britain in the mid-18th century.
The main function of newspapers is to report news. Many newspapers also provide special information to readers, such as weather reports and television timetables. They also provide comments on politics, economics, arts and culture. Almost all newspapers depend on advertising to make money.
Nearly six out of ten adults in the United States and Canada read a newspaper every day. Seven out of ten read a paper each weekend. Readers search newspapers for de-tailed background information(背景资料)and analysis(分析). This is what television and radio news reports seldom offer. Newspapers tell readers what happened, and they also help readers understand what caused an event and how it will affect the world around them.
The workers at large newspaper companies work under a lot of pressure to bring news to readers as soon as possible. Reporters, photographers, artists, and editors collect articles in just a few hours. Page designers select articles, photos, advertisements, and eye-catching headlines to make the pages, and then rush their work to the printer. Printing workers may work overnight around printing presses to churn out more than 60,000 copies per hour.
28. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Production of Newspapers B. Functions of Newspapers
C. Publication of Newspapers D. An Introduction to Newspapers
29. What is the main idea of the third paragraph?
A. Most adults in America and Canada read newspapers every day.
B. The importance of newspapers in people’s lives.
C. Newspapers offer readers detailed information.
D. The effects of newspapers on readers.
30. We can infer everything from the passage EXCEPT that ______.
A. newspapers will become less popular because of the development of TV
B. few newspapers have no advertising
C. many adults in America read newspapers every day
D. people can read about many different issues in newspapers
31. The underlined phrase "churn out" in the last paragraph probably means ______.
A. press B. produce C. publish D. sell

D
Yawning(打哈欠) sends out certain messages – either “Oh, this movie is so boring” or “I probably need to get some sleep”. But did know that a yawn can also help your brain to cool down when it is overheated?
A new study, led by a research team at Princeton University, has indicated that yawning could be the brain's natural way of regulating temperature. People yawn more often when the temperature outdoors is lower than their body temperature but are less likely to yawn when it is hotter outdoors, according to Science daily. com.
The research team did an experiment on 160 people, 80 in summer and 80 in winter, to examine how often they yawned at different air temperatures. The study found that people yawned more often in winter than in summer. Scientists say that when the air temperature is lower outside the body, there is heat exchange between the overheated brain and the cool air. But when the air temperature is higher than or equal to the body, people are less likely to yawn because the hot air they breathe in will make the brain even hotter.
When people yawn, their jaw (下巴) is also stretched, which increases blood flow and may also help cool the brain. The study showed that the amount someone yawned could be related to the amount of time they spent outside. The longer they spent outside in summer, the less they yawned. Nearly 40 percent of participants yawned within their first five minutes outside, but after that the percentage was reduced to less than 10 percent.
However, the result was the opposite in winter. The number of people who yawned increased when they spent more than five minutes outdoors. But the change was only slight compared to summertime.
According to Gallup, this is the first report to show that yawning frequencies change depending on season. This could help us to understand better the way our brains work. It may also help us understand the reason why frequent yawning can sometimes be a sign of brain disease.
32. The purpose of the experiment is ______.
A. to prove people yawn in winter and in summer equally
B. to indicate brain can regulate temperature naturally
C. to find the frequency of people’s yawning
D. to show the real reason why people yawn
33. The information we get from Paragraphs.5 and 6 is that _________.
A. longer outdoor summertime results in more yawns
B. yawning frequency changes with outdoor time
C. yawning frequency increases with outdoor time
D. longer outdoor wintertime leads to fewer yawns
34. According to the text, people yawn more often _________.
A. when the air temperature is lower outside the body
B. when the hot air breathed in makes the brain hotter
C. when the air temperature is higher than the body
D. when the air temperature is equal to the body
35. What could be the best title for the text
A. Yawning Is a Sign of Brain Disease
B. Yawning Carries Some Information
C. Yawning Benefits Your Body
D. Yawning Cools Your Brain

The Winner’s Guide to Success
Do you know what makes people successful? To find out the answers, an American scholar recently visited some of the most successful people around the world. 36___
Be responsible for yourself
Sometimes you may want to blame others for your failure to get ahead. In fact, when you say someone or something outside of yourself is stopping you from making success, you’re giving away your own power. 37__
Write a plan
It is very difficult to try to get what you want without a good plan. It is just like trying to drive through strange roads to a city far away. 38_ Without this “map”, you may waste your time, money and also your energy; while with the “map” you’ll enjoy the “trip” and get what you want in the shortest possible time.
Be willing to pay the price
__39 _ So you must be ready to work hard — even harder than you have ever done. If you are not willing to pay the price, you won’t get anything valuable.
__ 40 __
It seems to us that everyone knows this. But it is easier said than done. When you are doing something, you must tell yourself again and again: Giving up is worse than failure because failure can be the mother of success, but giving up means the death of hope.
A. Never give up.
B. Nothing is easy to get.
C. A good plan is like a map to you.
D. Here are some keys to success that they give.
E. Some people achieve success much later in life.
F. You’re saying, “You have more control over my life than I do.”
G. Someone else’s opinion of you doesn’t have to become your reality.
