閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng),并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。
A
I went through a training program and became a literacy volunteer last summer. The training I received, though excellent, did not tell me how it was to work with a real student, however. When I began to discover what other peoples lives were like because they could not read, I realized the true importance of reading.
My first student Marie was a 44-year-old single mother of three. In the first lesson, I found out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didnt know which bus to take. When I told her I would get her a bus schedule (時(shí)刻表), she told me it would not help because she could not read it. She said she also had difficulty once she got to the supermarket, because she couldnt always remember what she needed. Since she did not know words, she could not write out a shopping list. Also, she could only recognize items by sight, so if the product had a different label, she would not recognize it as the product she wanted.
As we worked together, learning how to read built Maries self-confidence, which encouraged her to continue her studies. She began to make rapid progress and was even able to take the bus to the supermarket. After this successful trip, she reported how self-confident she felt. At the end of the program, she began helping her youngest son, Tony, a shy first grader with his reading. She sat with him before he went to sleep and together they would read bedtime stories. When his eyes became wide with excitement as she read, pride was written all over her face. As she described this experience, I was proud of myself as well. I found that helping Marie to build her self-confidence was more rewarding than anything I had ever done before.
As a literacy volunteer, I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others. In fact, I may have learned more from the experience than Marie did.
21. What did the writer do last summer?
A. She gave single mothers the help they needed. B. She helped someone to learn to read.
C. She worked in the supermarket. D. She helped a literacy volunteer.
22. Why didnt Marie go to the supermarket by bus at first?
A. She liked to walk to the supermarket. B. She lived far away from the bus stop.
C. She couldnt afford the bus ticket. D. She couldnt find the right bus.
23. How did Marie use to find the goods she wanted in the supermarket?
A. She knew where the goods were in the supermarket. B. She asked others to take her to the right place.
C. She found the goods by their looks. D. She remembered the names of the goods.
24. What did the writer think of her work as a literacy volunteer?
A. Meaningful. B. Interesting. C. Touching. D. Tiring.

We all know how important human life is—its priceless. It doesnt matter where you are from or what the color of your skin is— all people are human beings. Firstly, we can tell you that the lives of your relatives could depend on your ability to give first aid. If you think highly of humans life, this website is for you! Here you can find information about first aid.
The very first thing that you should do when you see an accident is to evaluate the situation and prevent further dangerous occurrences. First of all, you have to recognize what has happened and what the dangers to rescuers and victims are. Think about how to take care of the victims.
Helping usually takes place in very difficult conditions and injuries can be very bad. Therefore, you cannot be too afraid of making mistakes to help. Sometimes you have to face the fact that regardless of your actions and your efforts the victims condition might not improve—he or she could even die. In some cases even professional medical aid may not succeed. If you have done everything you think you should do, you shouldnt feel guilty.
Do not expose (使接觸到) yourself to danger. Giving first aid can be dangerous. While trying to help a victim, do not forget about your own safety. If something happens to you, you wont be able to help anyone.
Call for help after you find out the condition of a victim. But remember if a victim faints (昏倒) due to breathing failure caused by drowning, choking (窒息), or poisoning, you should first take action that help to bring back the heartbeat and breathing. While calling, talk shortly but clearly. Always provide the following information: the location of the accident, the kind of accident, the number of the injured and your full name and phone number and so on.
25. The underlined word “evaluate” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “____”.
A. leave B. protect C. avoid D. judge
26. According to the author helping a victim can be ____ .
A. risky B. shocking C. exciting D. boring
27. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. When you see an accident you should do nothing but call the police.
B. When calling for help you should give all related information.
C. One often forgets about your own safety while giving first aid.
D. Everyone will learn how to give first aid.
28. Where is this passage probably taken from?
A. A newspaper. B. The Internet. C. A textbook. D. A guide book.
C
Art is something that almost everyone can create. Pencil art is a free hand art with simple strokes (筆畫) that give an elegant and unusual look. Any person can draw pencil art. It is an untruth that only an artist can draw. Creativity is more than enough to draw a work of art. Very different effects can be created in pencil art.
Drawing pencils are available with different types of leads, such as 4H, 2H, H, HB, B, 2B, 4B etc. The 4H pencil is the lightest lead pencil and produces light and thin lines, while 4B is the darkest lead pencil and produces dark and thick lines. Very unique effects can be created with these pencils.
Strokes are one of the most important factors in pencil art. The pressure that is applied on the lines or curves or arcs or circles or triangles or freehand drawings will decide the strength of stroke. It will add to the liveliness and to the depth of the art. Apart from stroke, blending (融合) and shading is one more factor in pencil art. A number of methods can be used to make changes of shape and color (within black and white) very easily. Even human fingers can be used. The popular method is using tissue paper for soft blend and salt paper for hard to make texture (質(zhì)地) blend.
Take a flower as an example, the 2B pencil is used to draw the outline of the flower while the HB pencil is used to draw simple line strokes inside the flower. The center circle can be improved by the use of the 2B, HB and H pencils with pale finger blend.
29. The difference between the 4H and 4B pencils mainly lies in their ____ .
A. length B. hardness C. colors D. types of lead
30. The strength of stroke in pencil art is decided by ____ .
A. the pressure applied on the drawing B. the type of drawing pencils
C. the kind of drawing D. the quality of paper
31. What does the writer want to tell us by using the example in the last paragraph?
A. The 2B pencil is used to draw the outline of the flower.
B. The HB pencil is used to draw simple line strokes inside the flower.
C. The way to use different types of drawing pencils to draw pencil art.
D. The 2B, HB and H pencils are used to draw the center circle of the flower.
32. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Human fingers can not be used in pencil art. B. The type of paper has no effect on blending.
C. Creativity is very important in drawing an art. D. The 2B pencil cant be used to draw the outline.
D
Listen carefully, working people, we would like to tell you something that could save your precious (珍貴的) time and money! Best of all, it is free!
Its “no”.
What do you ask? Well say it again, “No.”
Sweet and simple “no”.
Say “no” at your office and see how quickly that pile of work on your desk disappears.
“Saying ‘no to others means you are saying ‘yes to yourself, ” said Leslie Charles, a professional speaker from East Lansing, Michigan.
“Time is precious. People are spending money buying time. And yet we are willing to give up our time because we cant say ‘no.”
Susie Watson, a famous writer, said people who always say “yes” need to say “no” without guilt or fear of punishment. “I would rather have someone give me a loving ‘no than an obligated ‘yes,” she said.
Susie Watson says she feels “no” obligation to give an explanation when she says “no” either socially or professionally. Does she feel guilty about it? “Not at all,” said Watson, who is director of advertising and public relations at Timex Corp in Middlebury, Conneticut. “Most people are afraid of saying ‘no ... My advice is to say ‘yes only if you dont mean ‘no.”
Watson said “no” is the most effective weapon against wasting time. “Every year there are more demands on your time ... Other people are happy to use up your time,” Watson said. Time-saving appears to be “nos” greatest friend.
“No” can be your new friend, a powerful tool to take back your life. “No” may even take you further in the business world than “yes”.
“No” is power and strength. “No” now seems completely correct. “Saying ‘no isnt easy. But finally its greatly liberating (解放),” Charles said. But, he added, a “no” project needs to be worked on every day because it is hard to change a long-term habit.
However, he also warns,“Dont go to extremes. Dont find yourself saying ‘no to everything. In return you should learn to hear ‘no.”
33. In Watsons opinion, people can save much time on condition that ____ .
A. they are afraid of saying “no” B. they say “no” at a suitable time
C. they make others angry at them D. they say “no” as much as possible
34. What may be the result for one if he says “no” to everything?
A. He will face difficulty in life. B. He can make a lot of money.
C. He can enjoy a wonderful life. D. He will forget to say “yes” in the end.
35. Whats the purpose of the writer in writing the text?
A. To give advice. B. To complain about the busy life.
C. To make an introduction. D. To explain a situation.
