AWe thought we had it all---a beautiful house, three healthy children and one more on the way, two cars, a couple of four-wheelers for entertainment---and we loved it. Then, the market turned and my hus band’s job at a construction company was gone. The company was closing down for good.We both started looking for jobs right away, but there weren't any to be found. With each passing day we were getting increasingly worried and we continued to work together in order to pull our family through. The more we pulled together, the closer we got. I felt feelings of admiration for my husband that I hadn't felt in years.That's why it was so hard for me to watch him blame himself for our present situation. I continually asked him to stop, but he seemed to want to punish himself for not having a job.Finally, one afternoon I pulled him aside and said, “We have four healthy children. That's what's important. That makes you a rich man.”“But what if we lose the house? They'll hate me-you'll hate me,” he replied.I smiled at him and put my hands on both sides of his face to make him look me in the eye. “No matter where we live I will be happy--as long as I have you.” I smiled again. In all the struggling together I had found that deep love for him that I had on the day we said “I do”.I could see his shoulders and neck relaxed. He held me close and we were able to talk and plan and dream together in a way that we hadn't for quite some time. It was a turning point for us as a couple and a family.We are still struggling for our better life, but I consider us well-off because we have something that money can't buy and no one can take away from us.21. Why was it hard or the author to watch her husband blame himself?A. She thought she should be blamedB. She thought he had tried his bestC. She thought he would get a job somedayD. She thought it would remind her of sad memories22. Which of the following can best describe the couple’s present life?A. Bitter but quietB. Comfortable and easyC. Hard but happyD. Well-off and relaxing23. The best title of the text might be .A. We Have It AllB. We Find It AgainC. A Perfect CoupleD. A Hard TimeBDo you think that puppet shows(木偶戏) are just for children? In some parts of the world, like Indonesia, a puppet show is an activity enjoyed by people of all ages.At most puppet shows, the audience sits on one side of the screen and the puppeteer(操纵木偶的人) sits on the other. However, at an Indonesian front shadow puppet show, the audience can choose which side to sit on. From out front, audience members see shadows of puppets acting out exciting scenes of romance or battle. These people enjoy the fantasy that “real” events are taking place.Behind the scenes, it can be fascinating to see a dalang, or puppeteer, in action. The dalang manipulates puppets made of buffalo hide by moving attached rods(棒) of buffalo horn or bamboo. Each of a puppet’s arms and the main part of its body havetheir own rods, but its legs are rarely moved on their own.Each puppet has its own voice and its own way of moving. The “good” puppets usually speak calmly and move gracefully; the “bad” ones have rough voices and move in a funny way. The stories acted out by the puppets are often based on ancient myths or legends. A specially written puppet show might also celebrate a birth, wedding, or harvest. Sometimes a dalang chooses an old story that he thinks is appropriate for the village where the performance will take place. Before the show, he may ask local people about current events in the village and then use the puppet show to illustrate possible solutions to local problems.The audience of a shadow puppet show expects to settle in for a long evening. A show may start in the later afternoon and not end until four o’clock the next morning! Children and adults alike may fall asleep in the middle of a show and wake up hours later to find it still going on. Of course, the dalang must remain alert(警觉的) throughout the show. O ne dalang remarked, “I have no real sense of time until it’s all over.”24.How is an Indonesian puppet show different from most other puppet shows?A. A dalang may take a rest during a showB. People can leave in the middle of a showC. It is an activity enjoyed by people of all agesD. The audience can choose to sit on either side of the screen25.The underlined word “manipulates” in Paragraph 3 means “”.A. buildsB. choosesC. controlsD. watches26.What can we learn from the fourth paragraph?A. The “good” puppets move in a funny wayB. A dalang offers solutions to local problems before the showC. The audience determines the puppets’ voice and way of movingD. The dalang attempts to personalize the puppet show for the audienceCA new study, a project of the researchers from the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania, finds that fitness tracker(追踪器) probably does not help with weight loss.The devices are designed to record your physical activity. They are usually wornaround the wr ist, where they measure a person’s heart rate. The research team looked at two groups of individuals. The first wore a fitness tracker and took part in health counseling(咨询) with experts to consider the best weight-loss plan. The researchers compared this group with people who only got health counseling.The study found that those only speaking with the health experts lost nearly 6 kilograms, but those using a fitness tracker lost only 3.5 kilograms. John Jakicic, the lead researcher, questioned the use of electronic devices for weight control in place of “effective behavioral counseling for physical activity and diet.”The study involved 470 subjects aged between 18 and 35. Some of them were overweight, while others were considered obese(肥胖的). Over three fourths of the subjects were women. All the subjects were told to increase physical activity and start on a low-calorie diet. They had their weight measured once every six months. After six months, researchers divided the group into two parts: one continued with monthly counseling, while members of the other group were given a fitness tracker. Eighteen months later, both groups “showed significant improvements in fitness, physical activity, and diet,” with no major difference between groups. However, when it came to losing weight, the people who only spoke with experts lost nearly twice as much weight.Jakicic said, “the study’s findings are important because effective long-term treatments are needed to address America’s obesity.” More information is needed, h e added, to learn how to best use these devices to change “physical activity and diet behaviors” in adults who want to lose weight.27. All the subjects in the study were asked to .A. start on a high-calorie dietB. wear a fitness trackerC. increase physical activitiesD. record their heartrates28. Why does Jakicic think the findings are important?A. Wearing fitness trackers hardly helps people lose weightB. Physical activity and diet have no effect on weight lossC. Handling obesity requires effective long-term treatmentsD. There are great differences in fitness between both groups29. What can we infer about the study mentioned in the text?A. The study went on for about two yearsB. More than 120 men took part in the studyC. Health counseling helps lose almost 6 kilogramsD. Wearing a fitness tracker is useful for keeping slim30. The purpose of the text is to .A. describe how the researchers were conducting the studyB. indicate regular counseling for weight control is necessaryC. convince readers to wear fitness trackers for weight controlD. warn women are more likely to suffer from weight problems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。
