AWhen I was watching a sports event yesterday, I met with an amazing sight. It was not a gold medal, or a world record broken, but a show of pure courage and determination.The event was swimming. I watched a man dive off the blocks and knew right away that something was wrong. I'm not an expert swimmer, but I can tell a good dive from a poor one, and this was not exactly medal quality. When he resurfaced, it was evident that the man was not out for gold - his arms were waving in an attempt at freestyle.I heard the crowd begin to laugh at this poor man who was clearly having a hard time. Finally he made his turn to start back. It was pitiful. He made a few desperate strokes (划水) and you could tell he was worn out. But in those few awkward strokes, the crowd changed. No longer were they laughing, but beginning to cheer. Some even began to stand and yell things like, "C ome on, you can do it!" He did. The crowd went wild.Just a short year ago, he had never even swum, let alone race. His country had been invited to take part in the event. Even though he recorded the slowest time, this man gave more heart than any of the other competitors------a man that gave his all, knowing that he had no chance but to compete because of the spirit of the games. 21．We know from the passage that the swimmer .A．had two competitors B．was not professionalC．had a wrong start D．didn't try his best22．What can be learned from the last two paragraphs?A．The audience was touched deeply by the swimmer.B．The swimmer didn't finish his match.C．The swimmer lost his spiritD．The crowd supported the swimmer from the beginning.23．The author's attitude towards the swimmer is that of .A．tolerance B．disappointment C．carelessness D．admirationBBook：No Looking BackAuthor：Shivani GuptaSnivani had thrown a party one evening and awoke the next morning in hospital because of a car crash．It took Shivani years of pain，struggle and determination to regain control of her life and her body．Then tragedy struck again.

But for me, whenever I do give money, that’s just the wrapping (包装纸) . The real gift is hidden inside –it’s love.And l haven’t ever found any reason to limit gifts of love.”By the end of the night, I decided to get some pizza. In front of me in line was a homeless-looking man. He was counting the few dollars bills in his hand, over and over again, until it was his turn to order. Just then, he told the young woman behind the counter, “I’ll have the full cheese pizza.” “Full?” she asked. “It’s really big.” she added, altho ugh what she really meant to say was that it’d be too expensive for him. “Yeah, the full” “$18.65,” she submitted. The bills he was counting weren’t going to make it. I wasn’t intending to get the whole pizza for him. But thinking back to my conversation with the business man, I realized that money was really just the wrapping.I made my move. “Can you charge that pizza with my order” I said to the cashier. “Really?” the homeless-looking man said. “Really?” the young womanbehind the counter repeated. “Yes, really.” That confused man and I had a sweet silent moment. To his silent question of why I was doing it, I added, “Just pay it forward for someone else.” And he said, “Well, you know what? I was actually treating these five homeless guys out there.” He was actually paying it forward, in the first place. What an unexpected fortune to get a chance to be a part of a man’s act of kindness.28. What can we learn about the author from the first paragraph?A. He believes it’s not money but love that mattersB. He is mean with his money.C. He cares little about money.D. He seldom gives money to the poor.29. What made the author decide to help the man?A. The request from the homeless-looking man.B. His sympathy for the homeless-looking man.C. His recalling the talk with the businessman earlier that day.D. The urgency from the young woman behind the counter.30. Why did the homeless-looking man want to buy the whole pizza?A. Because he was too hungry.B. Because he wanted to pay it forward.C. Because he wanted to treat his own five children.D. Because he wanted to help some homeless people.31. What is the best title for the passage?A．Paying it forward B．Helping a homeless manC．A talk with a businessman D．Money was just the wrappingDCan you believe your eyes? A recent experiment suggests that the answer to that question may depend on your age.Martin Doherty,a psychologist at the University of Stirling in Scotland,led the team of scientists. In this experiment,Doherty and his team tested the perception(观察力)of some people,using pictures of some orange circles. The researchers showed the same pictures to two groups of people. The first group included 151 children aged 4 to 10,and the second group included 24 adults aged 18 to 25.The first group of pictures showed two orange circles alone on a white background. One of the circles was larger than the other,and these people were asked to identify the larger one. Four-year-olds identified the correct circle 79 percent of the time. Adults identified t he correct circle 95 percent of the time.Next,both groups were shown pictures where the orange circles,again of different sizes,were surrounded by gre y circles. Here’s where the trick lies. In some of the pictures,the smaller orange circle was surrounded by even smaller grey circles—making the orange circle appear larger than the other orange circle,whichwas the real larger one. And the larger orange circle was surrounded by even bigger grey circles—so it appeared to be smaller than the real smaller orange circle.When young children aged 4 to 6 looked at these tricky pictures,they weren’t fooled—they were still able to find the bigger circle with roughly the same accuracy as before. Older children and adults,on the other hand,did not do as well. Older children often identified the smaller circle as the larger one,and adults got it wrong most of the time.As children get older,Doherty said,their brains may develop the ability to identify visual context. In other words,they will begin to process the whole picture at once：the tricky grey circles,as well as the orange circle in the middle. As a result,they’re more likely to fall for this kind of visual trick. 32．Doherty and his team of scientists did an experiment to evaluate______.A. children’ s and adults’ eye-sightB. people’s ability to see accuratelyC. children’ s and adults’ brainsD. the influence of people’s age33．When asked to find the larger circle,_____.A. children at 6 got it wrong 79％of the time with no grey ones aroundB. only adults over 18 got it right 95％of the time with grey ones aroundC. children at 4 got it right about 79％of the time with grey ones aroundD. adults got it right most of the time with grey ones around 34．According to the passage,we can know that_____.A. a smaller orange circle appears bigger on a white backgroundB. an orange circle appears bigger than a grey one of the same sizeC. a circle surrounded by other circles looks bigger than its real sizeD. a circle surrounded by bigger ones looks smaller than its real size 35．Why are younger children not fooled?A. Because they are smarter than older children and adults.B. Because older people are influenced by their experience.C. Because people’s eyes bec ome weaker as they grow older.D. Because their brain can hardly notice related things together.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。
