In the fall of 1985, I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University to study law, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.
My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.
Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopt and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No.3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.
You can imagine how busy I became, raising four boys under the age of 8. Our home was a complete zoo--a joyous zoo. Not surprisingly, I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant taking as few as one class each semester(学期). The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.
In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree! I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when you're looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you're in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won't arrive in your life on one day. It's a process. Remember: little steps add up to big dreams.
24.When the author went to Howard University, her dream was to be______.
A. a writer B. a teacher C. a judge D. a doctor
25.Why did the author quit school in her second year of college
A. She wanted to study by herself. B. She fell in love and got married.
C. She suffered from a serious illness. D. She decided to look after her grandma.
26.What can we learn about the author from Paragraphs 4
A. She was busy but happy with her family life. B. She ignored her guilty feeling for her sons.
C. She wanted to remain a full-time housewife. D. She was too confused to make a correct choice.
27.Which of the following can best describe the author
A. Caring and determined. B. Honest and responsible.
C. Brave and sensitive. D. Independent and single-minded.
C
Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time—about eight hours after you wake up—your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.
In many parts of the world, people take naps(小睡) in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional, people often suffer less from problems such as heart disease. Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap—even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.
28.Why do you sometimes feel sleepy in the early afternoon
A. Because you eat too much for lunch. B. Because it’s hot in summer.
C. Because your body temperature goes down at that time.
D. Because you didn’t have a good sleep last night.
29.What can we learn about “naps”
A. All the people in warmer climates take naps in the middle of the day.
B. Doctors need to take naps while employers don’t.
C. If you take naps everyday, you’11 never suffer from heart disease.
D. Taking naps regularly is beneficial to people’s health.
30.What can we infer from the passage
A. You’ll feel sleepy at regular intervals(间隔).
B. Taking a nap whenever you want will do good to your health.
C. You will feel less sleepy if you sleep for a long time.
D. If you get up at 6:30 am, you’d better take a nap at about 1:30 pm.
31.What would be the best title for the text
A. Just for a Rest B. Better try a Nap C. A Special Sleep Pattern D. Taking Naps in Warmer Climate
D
Tokyo is one of those places that you can love and hate at the same time. In Tokyo there are always too many people in the places where I want to be. Of course there are too many cars. The Japanese drive very fast when they can. But in Tokyo they often spend a long time in traffic jams. Tokyo is not different when one wants to walk.
At certain times of the day there are a lot of people on foot in London's Oxford Street. But the streets near Ginza in Tokyo always have a lot of people on foot, and sometimes it is really difficult to walk. People are very polite; there are just too many of them.
The worst time to be in the street is at 11:30 at night. That is when the night-clubs are closing and everybody wants to go home. There are 35,000 night-clubs in Tokyo, and you do not often see one that is empty.
Most people travel to and from work by train. Tokyo people buy six million train tickets every day. At most stations, trains arrive every two or three minutes, but at certain hours there do not seem to be enough trains. Although they are usually crowded, Japanese trains are very good. They always leave and arrive on time. On a London train you would see everybody reading a newspaper. In Tokyo trains everybody in a seat seems to be asleep, whether his journey is long or short.
In Tokyo, I stood outside the station for five minutes. Three fire-engines(消防车) raced past on the way to one of the many fires that Tokyo has every day. Tokyo has so many surprises that none of them can really surprise me now. Instead, I am surprised at myself: I must go there next year on business. I know I hate the overcrowded city. But I feel like a man who is returning to his long-lost love.
32.Tokyo is different from London because ________.
A. it has a smaller population B. it is an international city
C. it is more difficult to go somewhere on foot in Tokyo D. its people are friendlier and more polite.
33.What time does the writer think is the worst time to go into the street
A. When the night-clubs are closing. B. At 8 o'clock in the morning.
C. When the train is overcrowded. D. At 11:30 a.m.
34.What does the writer say about Japanese trains
A. There are not enough trains. B. They are not nice and comfortable.
C. They leave and arrive at the right time. D. They often run behind schedule.
35.From the writer's observation, we can see that fires break out in Tokyo ________.
A. occasionally B. quite frequently C. not very often D. twice a day
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
Social media and the mobile web have given rise to a strange phenomenon(现象) called the selfie(自拍). It refers to a picture of yourself, usually shared on any social networking website.
36. Some selfies are extremely close-ups, and others show part of an arm held straight outward. A few of them even feature the subject standing in front of a bathroom mirror.
Everyone takes selfies, but the younger crowd seems to be especially involved in the trend. Young people are relatively heavier digital users. They are interested in staying connected to their friends. 37.
There are also kinds of psychological(心理学的) factors driving people to take a selfie and upload it to a social networking site. 38. A quick and easy way to attract others’ attention is to get “likes” and comment from friends. Secondly, it is human nature to show off your own great achievements. When you feel good about yourself or look good, it is far too easy to take out your phone and document it all through one or several selfies. 39. That is right. Sometimes people are bored at work, bored at school, bored at home and even bored on the toilet. Last but not the least, social media is about being social! If that means uploading as many selfies as possible, then so be it. It is fun, and it’s a cool way to sort of document of your own life.
Finally, there are things to be mindful of when you are posting. It’s easy to think you’re sharing a photo with a few people. 40. So don’t post anything online, selfie especially.
A. There are a lot of selfie styles.
B. The rise of selfies has become universal.
C. Social media, to some extent, is the driving force of their selfie activity.
D. The desire to take, post and get “likes” on selfies goes back to a biological behavior.
E. But the whole world of social media is public and every individual can get access to it.
F. There are also people who will take selfies because they have nothing else better to do.
G. The leading factor is that people want to get attention from as many people as possible.
