Clapham Junction was famously busy, but it felt separate from the rest of London, as if its purpose was to carry people away from the capital. I felt I stood on the edge of the city.During my last year at primary school, I spent every afternoon going across the road with my mum to eat white toast with drinking sugary tea. My mum would argue with the Greek Cypriot owner about politics. They disagreed about everything, but laughed a lot while arguing. Our life seemed uneventful.But as time passed by, our area changed. The town became modern, and I changed a lot too. I went from a state primary school to a private secondary school. I stopped drinking sugary tea. I cared less about branded skirts but more about books. I spent less time hanging around the common but more travelling to the libraries where I found my interest.It was then that I discovered Dodie Smith's I Capture the Castle and Elaine Dundy's The Dud Avocado. After that I scanned the shelves of bookshops for some writing. In this way I found so many writers who have influenced me: Barbara Pym, EM Delafield and so on.Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People wasn't like any other book I'd read. For more than sixty years the rock solid, time-tested advice in this book has carried thousands of now famous people up the ladder of success in their business and personal lives. Now this previously revised and updated bestseller is available in trade paperback for the first .time to help you achieve your maximum potential throughout the next century! I read it as a guide anyway. And in a way it was.24. How did the author feel about her childhood?A. Meaningful.B. Unsatisfied.C. Unforgettable.D. Colorful25. What happened to the author when she studied in the secondary school?A. She often felt lonely.B. She usually drank sugary tea.C. She began to become modern.D. She started to like reading.26. What does How to Win Friends and Influence People mean to the author?A. The world.B. A dream.C. The inspiration.D. A plan.27. What may be the best title for the text?A. My Colourful LifeB. Reading Changed MeC. My Hometown Raised MeD. My Learning ExperienceCThe greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it. In fact, no single one can. Weourselves must walk the right path and make a difference. We should start by doing what's necessary, then doing what's possible and will certainly achieve what may seem impossible!Some environmentalists desire the pleasure in the pathless woods and the happiness in the lonely shore. This is a true account of an organization, called Nurture Nature, which offers a lot of opportunities and avenues to enrich not just one's surroundings but the one himself.To many, it may seem that it brings about just another forum to save the planet, and it does. However, there is something bigger that it brings to you, an opportunity to redefine yourself, and a wish to make sure that you believe that you are indeed part of it. Being identified by the UN Environmental Programme, it lives up to the dreams we have dreamed.Nurture Nature is an organization not only to educate the citizens of our nation and world-wide but also to spread awareness about the various atrocities (暴行) of humans towards our planet. Staff at Nurture Nature deal with the aim of making each and every person aware of their specific duties and responsibilities towards the planet and doing the needful before it's too late.By organizing campaigns and spreading our reach through social media, staff at Nurture Nature surely do their best to fulfill the aim. This initiative has received an incredible response from funders worldwide and funds for the campaign and other tasks were collected. The funds which were put to good use were more than sufficient.28. What should we do to protect the earth according to the text?A. Call for discussions.B. Ignore the threats.C. Get everything ready.D. Start from ourselves.29. What will Nurture Nature bring to the participants?A. A thrilling experience.B. A beautiful dream.C. A chance to know themselves.D. A sense of belonging.30. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A. The functions of Nurture Nature.B. The expectations of Nurture Nature.C. The reasons why Nurture Nature was set up.D. The efforts the staff in Nurture Nature made.31. What can we know about Nurture Nature from the last paragraph?A. It has finished its goal.B. It has drawn much attention.C. It is organizing tasks to raise money.D. It is accepted by all the people in the world.DThe reason why dominant (占支配地位的) men always seem to rise to the top has been uncovered. Researchers say they are able to make decisions far faster than those with nondom-inant personalities. It couldexplain why so many top CEOs and politicians are known for their dominant personalities.The study found high-dominance men respond faster in situations where a choice is needed, regardless of social context. Promptness (敏捷) to respond in high-dominance men was accompanied by a noticeably amplified brain signal. In addition, when the researchers analyzed the EEG (脑电图) images of the high-dominance participants, they identified a higher activity in areas of the brain associated with emotion and behavior, compared to low-dominance participants.This promptness in decision-making can act as a biomarker for social personalities. “Dominance itself depends partly on the ability to make decisions faster than others. This allows the individual to act first in social situations, which might result in an evolutionary advantage.”the team wrote.They now hope to link these reading to roles such as CEOs, and to find out if the same differences happen in female. and children. “In the future, it will be important to find out whether even stronger brain signals are observed in particularly dominant individuals, such as CEOs,” said Carmen Sandi of the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne.She added, “It will also be relevant to understand whether these differences in promptness to respond and brain signals are also observed in women that differ in dominance and whether they are already present in children. Our findings may open a new research approach using EEG signatures as a measure for social dominance.”The study involved 240 male students at the University of Lausanne who were sorted into high or low dominance groups by a standard “dominance scoring” questionnaire proved in many former studies.32. What makes dominant people stand out?A. Their wiser decisions.B. Their kind personalities.C. Their high social status.D. Their rapidity of responding.33. Which word can replace the underlined word “amplified”in paragraph 2?A. affectedB. adjustedC. enhancedD. controlled34. What will the researchers use the findings to do?A. Save people's life.B. Check on more people.C. Test the participants' brain.D. Show the effect of dominance.35. What can be inferred about the study from the text?A. It used previous research findings.B. It involved some women and children.C. It showed how people became CEOs.D. It corrected people' s ideas of dominance.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
