21．（6分）Myles, my four-year-old son, somehow got into an adult pool while we were out swimming. We ran over and pulled him out of the water, only to see his blue face and grey, still body. He was lifeless.One person immediately contacted the front desk while another called 911. My friend, John Newland, and I began CPR(心肺复苏). But we hadn't received any professional training. Despite our best efforts, we failed to make any important progress in bringing back my son.Another friend of mine realized two off-duty lifeguards, Liz and Alison Manley, were nearby. The sisters, 15 and 18, recently trained by the Red Cross in CPR, ran to help. Alison took over directly above Myles and Liz near his feet. Alison started chest compressions (胸部压迫), and Liz gave instructions. They turned him on his side, and cleared the airway as he expelled(排出) water.They continued chest compressions and rescue breathing, staying calm and cooperating as a perfect team.As the scene unfolded, so many things went through my mind. It seemed that seconds, minutes and hours passed, all at once. I saw his life flash before my eyes, the image of my beloved son wearing his favorite Lightning McQueen jammies (睡衣) and then his t-ball uniform. All at once was filled with both regret and hope." What kind of a father lets this happen?”,“ Stay with me!”,“ Come on, Myles”,"I don' t want to live without you !” and finally "God help, somebody, do anything!" Then it happened. Myles slowly opened one of his eyes and began to cry. I picked him up and held him.Myles was allowed to leave the hospital the next morning and, despite everything that happened, he asked to go to Worlds of Fun. This was the best Father's Day gift I could have ever received, seeing that my wife, son and daughter reunited and were all healthy, playing together again! No days are taken for granted any longer!1、When the author pulled his son out of the water, he found his son was __________A．still breathing.B．struggling hard.C．crying loud in fear.D．in a very bad situation.2、How did Liz and Alison Manley react?A．They called 911 for help immediately.B．They took immediate actions to save the boy.C．They asked the pools medical team for aid.D．They taught the author to perform CPR.3、What can we lean about the author from Paragraph 4?A．He was considered a terrible father.B．He was really worried about his son.C．He was responsible for the accident.D．He always believed his son would be fine.4、After that accident, the author ____________.A．decided to learn first aid.B．never let his son swim again.C．allowed his son to do whatever he wanted.D．valued the time spent with his family more.22．（8分）The dangers of sitting all day are obvious. Researchers have shown that remaining sitting for extended periods of time (like at your 9-to-5 desk job) can do harm to your health. While exercise is a big part of reducing the harmful effects of sitting, it was unclear how many gym periods were needed to help – until now.A new study, published in The Lancet, shows the ideal formula for reducing the negative effects of a sedentary（久坐的）job. Instead of a fixed number of hours spent exercising, the ratio（比率）depends on how much you sit: people who work a typical eight-hour day should spend at least one hour each day moving. If you sit six hours a day, you should spend half an hour exercising. The research also indicates that the exercise doesn’t have to be all once – or rigorous（严格的）. It can be spread throughout the day and be as simple as walking.The team behind the study analyzed data from a pool of a million adults over the age of 45 in Western Europe, the United States, and Australia. Using previous data, the researches examined data from 16 published studies and used it to determine how much exercise is required to compensate for sitting. Their recommended daily exercise goal is higher than previous advice but not necessarily less achievable, given it can be completed throughout the day.Fitting in an hour of exercise a day sounds especially discouraging if you have a desk job, but there are plenty of workouts you can complete before and after work. Even if it means taking a 10-minute walk during lunch, your body will thank you in the long run.1、The underlined words “compensate for” can be best replaced by ________.A．make up for B．break away fromC．give up D．take the place of2、According to the new study, good news for the people working long hours at deskis that ________.A．workouts may reduce the harm of sitting for longB．the harm of sitting for long has been provedC．they don’t have to exercise as long as suggested previouslyD．the time spent on exercise is flexible3、What can be inferred from the article?A．The best form of workouts is walking.B．The longer you exercise, the better.C．The new exercise goal is practical though higher.D．A desk job makes it impossible to exercise regularly.4、The second paragraph is developed mainly ________.A．by example B．by processC．by comparison D．by contrast23．（8分）Cocoa Beach / Jupiter Surf Camp — SummerSummer Surf Camp is centrally located on the Best Western seashore in Cocoa Beach & Jupiter at Carlin Beach Park with accommodations (住宿) at the Holiday Inn Express in Juno Beach.395、Where does this passage probably come from?A．A newspaper.

When Martin Luther King. Jr. presented his dream, he chose language that would stir the hearts of his audience. Delivering this electrifying(震撼性的) message required emotional intelligence—the ability to recognize, understand, and manage emotions.Emotional intelligence has been highly recommended by leaders, policymakers, and educators as the solution to a wide range of social problems. If we can teach our children to manage emotions, the argument goes, we'll have less bullying and more cooperation. If we can cultivate emotional intelligence among leaders and doctors, we'll have more caring workplaces and more compassionate healthcare.Emotional intelligence is important, but the uncontrolled enthusiasm has obscured (掩盖)a dark side. New evidence shows that when people sharpen their emotional skills, they become better at manipulating (把持) others. When you're good at controlling your own emotions, you can hide your true feelings. When you know what others are feeling, you can motivate them to act against their own best interests.Social scientists have begun to document this dark side of emotional intelligence. In a research led by University of professor Jochen Menges, when a leader gave an inspiring speech filled with emotion. the audience was less likely to scrutinize (细察) the message and remembered of the content. Ironically(讽刺的是) audience members were so moved by the speech that they claimed to recall more of it.The authors call this the awestruck effect, but it might just as easily be described as the dumbstruck effect. One observer reflected that Hitler's persuasive impact came from his ability to strategically express emotions—he would "ear open his heart—and these emotions affected his followers to the point that they would"stop thinking critically and just emote.”Leaders who master emotions can rob us of our capacities to reason. If their values are out of step with our own. theresults can be destructive. New evidence suggests that when people have self-serving motives (动机), emotional intelligence becomes a weapon for manipulating others. In a study led by the University of Toronto psychologist Stephane Cote, university employees filled out a survey about their Machiavellian(不择手段的) tendencies, and took a test measuring their knowledge about effective strategies for managing emotions. Then, Cote's team assessed how often the employees deliberately undermined (逐渐削弱) their colleagues. The employees involved in the most harmful behaviors were Machiavellians with high emotional intelligence. They used their emotional skills to lower the dignity of their peers for personal gain.Shining a light on this dark side of emotional intelligence is one mission of a research team led University College London professor Martin Kilduff. According to these experts, emotional intelligence helps people disguise (伪装) one set of emotions while expressing another for personal Professor Kiiduit's team writes,""The strategic disguise of one's own emotions and the manipulation of others' emotions for strategic ends are behaviors evident not only on Shakespeare's stage but also in the offices and corridors where power and influence are traded.”Of course, people aren't always using emotional intelligence for nefarious ends. More often than not, emotional skills are simply instrumental tools for goal accomplishment. A research team discovered that founder Anita Roddick used emotional intelligence to inspire her employees fundraise for charity. As Roddick explained, "Whenever particular project we always tried to break their hearts we wanted to persuade our staff to support a particular project we always tried to break their hearts.”There is growing recognition that emotional intelligence--like any skill--can be used for good or evil. So if we're going to teach emotional intelligence in schools and develop it at work, we need to consider the values that go along with it and where it's actually useful.1、Why does the author mention Martin Luther King, Jr?A．To honor the great leader for his courage.B．To recommend his speech to other leaders.C．To impress the readers with a major topic.D．To advocate a society with fewer problems.2、Which of the following belongs to a dark side of emotional intelligence?A．Developing the capability to control one's own emotion.B．Inducing people to do what brings disadvantages to them.C．Appealing to the audience to concentrate and remember more.D．Encouraging the moved audience to a more of the speech.3、What is the dumbstruck effect of Hitler's emotional intelligence?A．His followers would tear open their hearts to him.B．His followers would express emotions strategically.C．His followers would lose the ability to reason properly.D．His followers would develop the self-serving motives.4、How do people use their emotional intelligence for personal gain?A．They disguise their emotions to earn others' trust.B．They help their colleagues to build up confidence.C．They present their strategic behaviors on the stage.D．They lower their own dignity to gain popularity.5、Which may mean the same as the underlined word in Paragraph 8?A．Immoral. B．Unimportant.C．Illegal. D．Uncontrollable.6、What would be the best title for the passage?A．The benefits of emotional intelligenceB．The ways of disguising one's emotionsC．The reasons for using emotional skillsD．The dark side of emotional intelligence25．（10分）When Warren Buffett, the most successful investor, was asked about the secret to his wealth and success, he revealed that he read every day, 500 pages, to be precise.
