Yale did, admitting her to the class of 1978, where she started writing for the Yale Daily News and decided to be a journalist,” her mother said.On Wednesday, Marie Colvin, 56, an experienced journalist for The Sunday Times of London, was killed as Syrian forces shelled(炮击) the city of Homs. She was working in a temporary media center that was destroyed in the attack.“She was supposed to leave Syria on Wednesday”, Mrs. Colvin said. “Her editor told me he called her yesterday and said it was getting too dangerous and they wanted to take her out. She said she was doing a story and she wa nted to finish it.”Mrs. Colvin said it was pointless to try to prevent her daughter from going to conflict （冲突）zones. “If you knew my daughter,” she said, “it would have been such a waste of words. She was determined, she was enthusiastic about what she did, it was her life. There was no saying ‘Don’t do this.’ This is who she was, absolutely who she was and what she believed in: cover the story, not just have pictures of it, but bring it to life in the deepest way you could.” “So it was nota surprise when she took an interest in journalism,” her mother said.31.From the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1, we can infer that ________ .A. Yale was her last choiceB. Marie Colvin was confident of herselfC. Yale must keep its promise to Marie ColvinD. Marie Colvin was good at persuading32.Which of the following is the correct order to describe Marie Colvin’s life ?a. She was doing a story in Syria and got killed.b. She was admitted to Yale University.c. She studied in Brazil as an excellent student.d. She was hired by The Sunday Times of London.e. She began to take an interest in journalism.A. d→e→c→a→bB. b→c→d→e→aC. e→d→c→b→aD. c→b→e→d→a33. From the last paragraph, we can know that Mrs. Colvin ________.A. dislikes the choice of her daughterB. cares little about her daughterC. knows her daughter very wellD. doesn’t fully appreciate her daughter34.What can be the best title of the text?A. Covering Stories in a Dangerous Conflict Area.B. Applying for Top Universities, a Successful CaseC. Choosing Lifelong Careers Based on Your Own Interest.D. Recalling Her Daughter, a Journalist Killed in Syria.BTo a growing number of US students in China, study in the ancient country is no longer just a cultural experience it has become an important part of their future professional careers.Sam Gor, a 26-year-old student from Santa Clara, a county near San Francisco, said the purpose of his studies in Beijing was to help him find a good job when he goes back to the United States. "Culture matters," he said. "But more importantly, to learn Chinese and get a better understanding of the country may help me professionally." As a new student at Beijing Language and Culture University (BLCU), Gor hopes to find a job in Santa Clara's local government when he goes back home in one year. "I need to learn Chinese if I want the job, as we have a large Chinese community there."Gor is not alone in his thinking. While the number of US students in China has grown from less than 100 in the early 1980s to more than 10,000 for the time being. Many of them are here to boost(提高) a professional skill as much as to enjoy a new culture.“In the past, foreign students came to China simply for our culture,” said Xu Quihan, director of BLCU’s foreign students office. “But because of China’s rapid economic and social development, being able to speak Chinese has become a useful tool to a student’s future job”There are more US students who choose to stay in the country instead of going back after graduation. Stephanie Schubmehlo, a 23-year-old from Rochester, New York State, said she would like to stay in Beijing after graduation. “I love the city, and I can earn myself a living here if I can speak good Chinese,” she said, adding that some of the US students she knows shared the same idea.35. By saying “culture matters”, GorA. questioned the popularity of ChineseB. expressed his difficulty in learning ChineseC. showed the differences between two languagesD. stressed the importance of learning about another culture36. Compared with that of the past, the present number of US students in ChinaA. has decreased greatlyB. remains slightly unchangedC. has been over 100 times largerD. has nearly doubled37. We can infer from the text that in 1984 US students learnt ChineseA. just for the fun of itB. to experience a different cultureC. to ensure themselves a promising futureD. for both cultural and professional purposes38. In Xu Qiuhan’s opinion,A. Chinese is too difficult for foreign studentsB. more and more Americans will study in ChinaC. professional skills are more important than cultureD. China’s development makes Chinese professionally usefulCWhen Luke went to university he thought he would be on a new journey in life and getting his own place. In the UK, it’s common to fly the nest at a fairly young age. Many choose a flat-share; others make plans to get on the property ladder.But the current economic situation forced Luke back to his mum’s house at the age of 27. And he’s not alone: a quarter of young adults in the UK now live with their parents. The Office for National Statistics said more than 3.3 million adults between the ages of 20 and 34 were living with their parents in 2013.Lack of jobs and the high cost of renting accommodation made Luke change his plans. He’s upset. "There’s something very difficult about being an adult living in an environment where you’re still a child," he says. "It limits me socially; sometimes I fee l it limits me professionally."Indeed, many young people have no choice but to stay at "the hotel of Mum and Dad".Krissy had to return home after a year away and now lives in rather terrible conditions, sharing the family’s three-bedroom house with her sisters. She says they end up getting on each other’s nerves when it’s time to use the bathroom in the morning.Of course, living with your parents is not unusual in some countries. Economic conditions, culture, or family traditions mean many young people stay at home until they get married. Even then, it can be too expensive to rent or buy a house and the married couples continue to live at one of their parents’ homes.But some parents seem to enjoy having their kids back at home. Janice’s da ughters are part of what’s being called "the boomerang generation". She says, "I get to share their lives with them, and I’ve got to know them all as adults. We have the sort of conversations that good friends do."So for some it’s a win-win situation — spending time with your families, and saving money.39. How is the passage developed?A. By listing figuresB. By making comparisonsC. By analyzing causesD. By giving examples40. We can learn from the passage that .A. living with parents is common in some countriesB. all the parents enjoy living with their childrenC. the author approves of children’s living with parentsD. Janice belongs to a group called "the boomerang generation"41. What does the underlined sentence mean in the fifth paragraph?A. They get on very well with each other.B. They shout at each other angrily.C. They finally make each other annoyed.D. They are unwilling to share with each other.42. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To persuade children into living on their own after getting married.B. To show the present situation of young people living with their parents.C. To compare the advantages and disadvantages of living with parents.D. To present the problems young adults may face after going to university.D“Can I hug you?” community nurse Joyce Jebambula asks with a smile as she welcomes me back to her village. “Of course,” I say as I put my arms around her. It’s an unbelievable moment. Just at the h eight of the outbreak more than a year ago, there was an “avoid body contact” rule here. It’s now been removed.One of the most challenging parts of reporting this outbreak over the past 18 months is that I haven't been able to touch anyone in the worst-affected countries. When Ebola(埃博拉病毒) survivors described in tears describing losing their families, I had to almost sit on my hands to avoid reaching out to comfort them.The outbreak was declared over in Sierra Leone on 7 November. I returned for the celebrations. But despite reaching this long-awaited milestone, all is not well.Ibrahim Koroma, 21, clings to (紧紧抓住) his survivor's certificate (证明) outside the home. All 17 of his family are now dead. The certificate is one of his most prized possessions. "He does not pose any risk to the community" it reads.Ibrahim tells me how his landlord has allowed him to stay in one of the rooms of his former family home until the end of the year. He says he doesn't know what he'll do after that. He does some part-time work, relying heavily on help from neighbors. His two little sisters and little brother died in the very room where he now sleeps. He says he often lies awake thinking about them, feeling very bad.The Ebola outbreak in West Africa was the worst on record. In past outbreaks there had only been a few hundred deaths and a few hundred survivors. It was thought Ebola could live for only three months. But research has now shown it can linger for at least nine months. Scientists are still trying to find how long it could be infectious.43. When interviewing Ebola survivors, the author _______.A. couldn’t help comforting them with handsB. kept comforting them with handsC. held their hands to show sympathyD. couldn’t touch them with hands.44. Ibrahim Koroma values his certificate because it_________A. is a sign of his contributionsB. shows he is a healthy personC. has been the only one for patients so farD. is a great honor to have it in his village45. We can learn from the passage that___________A. Ebola can only survive a few daysB. Ibrahim’s neighbours treat him badlyC. Ebola still influences Ibrahim’s lifeD. there were once 17 people in Ibrahim’s family第二节短文七选五（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。
