Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage OneKids often ask Scout Bassett, of Palm Desert, California, if she wishes she had two normal legs. Scout, 18, answers, “No. I have never known anything different, and it would seem weird to me. Besides, if it weren’t for the missing leg, I wouldn’t have the opportunities I have today!”Scout has faced big challenges. When she was only months old, she suffered from terrible burns. Her right leg was especially damaged, and doctors cut it off above the knee. When she was 14, she got a high-tech leg made for sports and put it to the test right away in a race for disabled athle tes. “ I remember being terrified because this was my first time,” she says. “But my doctorScout was waiting nervously for the race to start when athlete Sarah Reinestsen came up and said, “I’ve been doing this for a while. Let me give you some tips.” Reinertsen, who lost her leg when she was seven, is the first disabled women to have finished the Ironman Triathlon(铁人三项) in Hawaii. She works with an organization to help support people like Scout.Reinertsen’s encouragement changed the teenager’s life. She lost that first race, but gainedthe confidence that she needed to compete. If Sarah could do it, she could too. Training hard, she now runs competitively and also finds time to share her story with school groups.“Sometimes people look at me or at Sarah and think they have nothing in common with us. I tell them that even if you aren’t physically challenged, everybody has challenges of some kind—maybe with family, or homework, or friends. No matter what it is, you can overcome that obstacle,” she says. “Everything you need is inside your heart. Take small steps. As t ime goes by, the steps will get bigger and you will reach your dream.”11. Why does Scout answer “No” when asked if she wants two normal legs?A. She’s sca red of changing her current situation.B. She couldn’t have them even if she wanted to.C. She has never thought about it before.D. She’s satisfied with what she has achieved as a disabled.12. What dose the doctor mean by saying “You have to start somewhere”(Para.2)?A. She has to do it sooner or later.B. She has to find the right place to start.C. That will be a memorable first time.D. That is a perfect time to start.13. Scout’s childhood experiences ______.A. were the cause of her shynessB. were a nightmare until she reached 14.C. didn’t stop her from fulfilling herself.D. didn’t have much influence on her later life.14. Which of the following statements in true?A. Sarah shared her story with school students.B. Sarah started to compete at the age of seven.C. Scout has been inspired by Sarah’s success.D. Scout joined Sarah’s organization to help others.15. Through Scout’s story, the author wants to tell us that ______.A. the disabled are mentally stronger than others.B. inner strength can help one overcome difficultiesC. good things will come no matter whatD. everybody has to challenge himselfPassage TwoImpatience has been around for a long time. There is nothing new about people losing their patience while stuck in traffic or waiting in line. But some experts believe that people are less patient today than in the past.Some analysts suggest that in recent years many people are less patient because of technology. They suggest that "digital technology, from cellphones to emails to Wads, is changing our lives. The instant results we get from this technology have in turn increased our desire for instant satisfaction in other aspects of our lives."Psychologist Jennifer Hartstein makes some observations. She explains that “we have become an immediate satisfaction culture, and we expect things to move quickly, efficiently and in the way we want. When that doesn't happen, we tend to become increasingly frustrated andunsatisfied.”Some believe that e-mail is losing popularity and could soon become outdated. Why? Because many people who send messages do not have the patience to wait hours, or even minutes, for a response. Also, with e-mails, as with letter writing, introductory and concluding greetings are often expected. But many people consider such formalities(客套)to be boring and time-consuming. They prefer instant messaging. Many people do not take the time to proofread what they put in writing. As a result, letters and e-mails contain numerous grammatical and spelling errors.The thirst for immediate results is not limited to the digital communications. People seem to be losing their ability to wait in other areas of life. For instance, do you ever find yourself talking too fast, eating too fast, driving too fast, or spending money too fast? The few moments it takes to wait for an elevator to come, for a traffic light to change, or for a computer to start may seem like too long a time.16. According to the first paragraph, people ______.A. were more patient in the pastB. have been patient for a long timeC. used to be patient while stuck in trafficD. used to be patient while waiting in lineA. their desire for satisfaction has increasedB. they are bored with what they haveC. they have more things to do than beforeD. their life has been changed by technology18. Some believe that e-mail could soon become outdated because ______.A. it takes a long time to start the computerB. people value formalities between friendsC. people can hardly wait for a responseD. cellphones are more popular nowadays19. The pursuit of instant results causes people to ______ .A. become more impoliteB. have more errors in their writingsC. use voice messages instead of emailsD. lose many of their abilities in life20. The best title for the passage might be “______”.A. What Are the Problems Caused by Impatience?B. Are We Less Patient Today?C. What Happened to Technology?D. Has Digital Technology Changed Our Lives?Passage ThreeScientists measured the impact that people have on the environment using a term called carbon "footprint." That footprint reflects the amount of carbon dioxide that is emitted(排放)into the atmosphere as a result of someone's daily activities. Carbon footprints tend to be low for city dwellers(城镇居民). Living in a suburb outside a city, however, can turn that footprint into a bootprint.Energy researchers Christopher Jones and Daniel Kammen calculated carbon footprints for people in every zip code across the United States. People living in city centers had small footprints, the researchers found. “It is much easier to have a low carbon impact if your home is close to where you work, shop and play," explains Jones. Living within walking or biking distance cuts back on the amount of carbon dioxide associated with moving people by cars. And cities with extensive bus and subway networks allow people to travel great distances while keeping releases of climate-altering greenhouse gases low.Not everyone can afford to live in the city, however. And not everyone wants to. Rings of suburbs have popped up around major cities across the world. Suburbs offer more space, allowing people to build larger homes. Suburbs may offer better schools for a family's kids. But those homes are typically well beyond walking distance from where their owners work, play or learn. So people who live in suburbs often drive long distances.The new findings are an important contribution to climate research, says Matthew Kahn, an environmental economist at the University of California, who was not involved with the study. Kahn would like to see the analysis applied to other parts of the world — Europe, India and China, for instance. That would give scientists a better feel for how culture might mix with location to influence our carbon footprints.21."Footprint" refers to the amount of carbon dioxide released by ______.A .an industry B. an individual C. a region D. a country22.What is the new finding concerning the footprints of people living in cities and those living insuburbs?A. The two are not at all comparable.B. The former are higher than the latter.C. The latter are higher than the former.D.The former are similar to the latter.23.What is the key factor mentioned to explain the new findings?A. Distance travelled by cars.B. Spending habits.C. Size of families.D. Attitude towards energy saving.24. What does Matthew Kahn think of the new findings?A. He is confused by the mixed messages.B. He thinks highly of them.C. He can easily understand them.D. He doubts their validity.25. What is the purpose of the author in writing the passage?A. To call on people to reduce carbon footprints.B. To offer tips on how to live a low-carbon life.C. To clear up misunderstandings about carbon emission.D. To introduce the research on carbon footprints.Passage FourIt was a chilly November evening in New York City, and my daughter and I were walking up Broadway. Nora noticed a guy sitting inside a cardboard box next to a newsstand. She pulled at my coat sleeve and said, “That man's cold, Daddy. Can we take him home?”I don't remember my reply, but I do remember a sudden heavy feeling inside me. I hadalways been delighted at how much my daughter noticed in her world, whether it was birds in flight or children playing. But now she was noticing suffering and poverty. She wasn't even four.A few days later, I saw an article in the newspaper about volunteers who delivered meals to elderly people. The volunteers went to a nearby school on a Sunday morning, picked up a food package, and delivered it to an elderly person. I signed us up. Nora was excited about it. She could understand the importance of food, so she could easily see how valuable our job was. When Sunday came, we picked up the package and phoned the elderly person we'd been assigned. She invited us right over.The building was depressing. When the door opened, facing us was a silver-haired woman in an old dress. She took the package and asked if we would like to come in. Nora ran inside. I reluctantly followed. Our hostess showed us some photos of her family. Nora played and laughed.I accepted a second cup of tea. When it came time to say good-bye, we three stood in the doorway and hugged. I walked home in tears.Where else but as volunteers do you have the opportunity to do something enjoyable that's good for yourself as well as for others? Indeed, the poverty my daughter and I helped lessen that Sunday afternoon was not the woman's alone — it was in our lives, too. Now Nora and I regularly serve meals to needy people and collect clothes for the homeless. Yet, as I've watched her grow over these past four years, I still wonder — which of us has benefited more?26.
