Finally, Ient ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ered the university. Because of my careful savings, I did not have to work during the school year. Then,summer came and it was time to work harder than ever. I continued working as a waitress at night, instructed tennis camps several mornings a week and worked as a secretary for a few hours in the afternoons. I even decided to take a class at acommunity(社区)college. This class at the community college saved me $650. It was an extremely tiring summer and made me anxious to return to my relatively easy life at the university.
During my second and ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )third years of undergraduate schooling, I decided to work about five hours per week in the campus(校园)admissions office answering phones. This provided a little spending money and kept me from drawing my savings out. The overall situation looked hopeful as I approached my senior year as long as I could make as much money as I had the previous summer. I wanted to go to Israel to study for 3 weeks, but I hesitated in making this decision because it would cost me $1,600 more to get the credits in Israel. About two weeks later my Mom called to tell me that I had $1,600 in the bank that I had forgotten about! One of my concerns about this trip was not only the cost, but the loss of time to make money; however, I made as much that summer in the ten weeks when I was at home as I had made during the fourteen weeks when I was at home the summer before. The way everything worked together to make this trip possible was one of the most exciting things that have ever happened to me.
This experience ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) has shaped me in many important ways. The first thing that Ilearned was the importance of a strong work ethic (伦理). Working long hours did a lot to develop my character and helped me learn the value of adollar. It also made me learn how to search for creative ways to settle difficult situations.
1. Where did the w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )riter probably work part-time before attending the university
A. In a restaurant. B. In the tennis camps.
C. In a company. D. In the admissions office.
2. The write ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r took a class at a community college mainly because_____.
A. she wanted to save money B. life there was relatively easy
C. summer time was tiring D. it was required by the university
3. The writer ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )’s major concern about the trip to Israel was that_____.
A. her mother wo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uld not give her approval B. she would fail to get credits in Israel
C. a well-paid summe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r job would be lost D. $1,600 couldn’t be drawn out in time
4. The passage is mainly about how the writer _____.
A. made money on the college campus
B. managed to make full use of her vacation
C. was forced to support herself by her mother
D. was shaped by working part-time through college

My father was Chief ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Engineer of a merchant ship,which was sunk in World War Ⅱ. The bookNight of the U-boats told the story.
Memories
In September,1940,my ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mother,sister and I went to Swansea,where my father’s ship was getting ready to sail. We brought him a family photograph to be kept with him at all times and keep him safe.
Then I remember ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) my mother lying face down,sobbing. She had heard from a friend that the ship had been sunk by a torpedo (鱼雷).
I can remember t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he arrival of the telegram (电报),which in those days always brought bad news. My grandmother opened it. It read,“Safe. Love Ted. “
My most vivid memory i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s being woken and brought down to sit on my father’s knee,his arm in a bandage.
He was judged unf ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )it to return to sea and took a shore job in Glasgow for the rest of the war. For as long as I can remember,he had a weak heart. Mother said it was caused by the torpedoes. He saidit was because of the cigarettes. Whichever,he died suddenly in his early 50s.
Ten years later I read ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Night of the U-boats and was able to complete the story.
Torpedo
One torpedo struck the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) ship. Father was in the engine room,where the third engineer was killed. He shut down the engines to slow the ship making it easier for it to be abandoned.
By the time he got o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n deck (甲板)he was alone. Every lifeboat was gone except one which had stuck fast. When he tried to cut it free,it swung against the ship,injuring his hand and arm. He had no choice but to jump—still with the photograph in his pocket.
Three days later,he an ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d other survivors were safe in Glasgow. All 23 with him signed the back of the photograph.
A Toast
In my room is the boo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )k and the photograph. Often,glass in hand,I have wondered how I would have dealt with an explosion,a sinking ship,a jump into a vast ocean and a wait for rescue Lest(以免)we forget,I have some more whisky and toast the heroes of the war.

( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )
FILTON, just ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )outside Bristol, is where Britain’s fleet of Concorde supersonic(超音速的)airliners was built. There, something remarkable is being created. Little by little a machine is “printing” a complex titanium bracket (钛合金支架), about the size of a shoe, which normally would have to be cut from a solid block of metal. Brackets are only the beginning. The researchers at Filton have a much bigger ambition: to print the entire wing of an airliner.
Unrealistic as t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )his may seem, many other people are using 3D printing technology to create similarly remarkable things. These include medical implants, jewellery, football boots designed for individual feet, lampshades, racing-car parts, solid-state batteries and customized mobile phones. Some are even making mechanical devices (仪器). At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Peter Schmitt, a PhD student, has been printing something that is like the workings of a grandfather clock. It took him a few attempts to get right, but eventually he removed the plastic clock from a 3D printer, hung it on the wall and pulled down the counterweight. It started ticking.
Engineers and designer ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s have been using 3D printers for more than a decade, but mostly to make original types quickly and cheaply before they embark on the expensive business of tooling up a factory to produce the real thing. As 3D printers have become more able to work with a broader range of materials, including production-grade plastics and metals, the machines are increasingly being used to make final products too. More than 20% of the output of 3D printers is now final products rather than original types, according to Terry Wohlers, who runs a research firm specializing in the field. He predicts that this will rise to 50% by 2020.
1. Which of the following is true according to the passage
A. Filton is in the centre of Bristol.
B. Peter tried to print a clock, but in vain.
C. a remarkable metal bracket is being created.
D. 3D printing technology is available to all of us.
2. The underlined word “embark” probably means “_________”.
A. work B. land C. depend D. fix
3. We can conclude from the last paragraph that __________.
A. Terry Wohlers’ s firm will make great profits
B. the technology of 3D printers will be widely adopted
C. 3D printers have been in use for at least 100 years
D. engineers and designers prefer printing original products
4. The passage is developed mainly in the form of _______.
A. time and events B. definition and description
C. contrast and conclusion D. examples and statements

阅读下列四篇短文,从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
People who are taki ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng aspirin regularly to thin their blood and are about to undergo coronary artery bypass surgery (冠状动脉旁路搭桥术) are usually to stop the aspirin a week before the operation – but they could be better off if they keep taking it.
Taking aspirin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) up to the day coronary artery bypass grafting (移植) is performed seems to speed lung function recovery afterwards, without increasing the risk of bleeding significantly, according to a report from Israel.
Release of a substa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nce called thromboxane (血栓素) is associated with lung injury after heart bypass grafting, Dr Rabin Gerrah at Assuta Medical Center in Tel Aviv and his colleagues explained in the medical journal Chest. Aspirin is believed to inhibit release of thromboxane, so Gerrah’s group theorized that the administration of aspirin until the day of the surgery could improve outcomes.
They therefore ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )followed 14 patients who took 100 milligrams of aspirin daily until the day of the surgery and 18 who stopped taking aspirin at least 7 days before the surgery.
Those who continued wi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )th their aspirin had significantly lower thromboxane in fluid around the heart, better oxygen levels in their blood and spent less time on a ventilator(呼吸器) than the group who discontinued taking aspirin.
On the other ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hand, the need for blood transfusions was no different between the groups, indicating that bleeding complications were no worse with aspirin.
The researchers had ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )excluded patients who had suffered a heart attack and those with heart failure because patients like these have a higher level of thrombaxane. “They will probably benefit even more than its inhibition.”
Based on their f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )indings, Gerrah’s team recommends that aspirin therapy(治疗) not be discontinued before coronary artery bypass surgery.
1. From the passage we know that_______.
A. doctors usu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ally get people who will have coronary artery bypass surgery to stop taking aspirin 7 days before the operation
B. aspirin is believed to increase release of thromboxane
C. taking aspirin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) up to the day coronary artery bypass grafting is performed seems to slow lung function recovery afterwards
D. patients suffering ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a heart attack have a lower level of thromboxane
2. The purpose of the passage is to introduce to us that _________.
A. aspirin can make for release of thromboxane
B. aspirin is useful for patients suffering a heart attack
C. different ways turn out to be the same result
D. aspirin may improve recovery after heart bypass
3. According to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Dr Rabin Gerrah, patients who will have heart bypass surgery should _______.
A. stop taking aspirin before the surgery
B. take aspirin as much as they like until the day of the surgery
C. be allowed to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )take 100 milligrams of aspirin daily until the day of the surgery
D. take aspirin after the heart bypass operation
4. What does the underlined word “inhibit” in paragraph 3 mean
A. to become larger or better than normal
B. to make something happen more slowly than normal
C. to cause to be nervous or embarrassed
D. to improve something in poor condition

The 2012 London O ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lympics had enough problems to worry about. But one more has just been added—a communications blackout caused by solar storms.
After a period of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )calm within the Sun,scientists have detected the signs of a fresh cycle of sunspots that could peak in 2012,just in time for the arrival of the Olympic torch in London.
Now scientists be ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lieve that this peak could result in vast solar explosions that could throw billions of tons of charged matter towards the Earth,causing strong solar storms that could jam the telecommunications satellites and internet links sending live Olympic broadcast from London.
“The Sun’s activity ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) has a strong influence on the Earth. The Olympics could be in the middle of the next solar maximum which could affect the functions of communications satellites,“ said Professor Richard Harrison,head of space physics at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire.
At the peak of t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he cycle,violent outbursts calledcoronal mass ejections(日冕物质抛射) occur in the Sun’s atmosphere,throwing out great quantities of electrically-charged matter. “A coronal mass ejection can carry a billion tons of solar material into space at over a million kilometres per hour. Such events can expose astronauts to a deadly amount,can disable satellites,cause power failures on Earth and disturb communications,” Professor Harrison added. The risk is greatest during a solar maximum when there is the greatest number of sunspots.
Next week in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) America,NASA is scheduled to launch a satellite for monitoring solar activity called the Solar Dynamics Observatory(SDO),which will take images of the Sun that are 10 times clearer than the most advanced televisions available.
The Rutherford Apple ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ton Laboratory helped to make the high-tech cameras that will capture images of thesolar flares(太阳耀斑) and explosions as they occur.
Professor Richar ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d Holdaway,the lab’s director,said that the SDO should be able to provide early warning of a solar flare or explosion big enough to affect satellite communications on Earth. “If we have advance warning,we’ll be able to reduce the damage. What you don’t want is things switching off for a week with no idea of what’s caused the problem,” he said.
1. The phrase “c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ommunications blackout” in Paragraph 1 most probably refers to during the 2012 Olympics.
A. the extin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )guishing of the Olympic torch B. the collapse of broadcasting systems
C. the transpor ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tation breakdown in London D. the destruction of weather satellites
2. What can be ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )inferred about the solar activity described in the passage
A. The most fatal matter from the corona falls onto Earth.
B. The solar storm peak occurs in the middle of each cycle.
C. It takes several seconds for the charged matter to reach Earth.
D. The number of sunspots declines after coronal mass ejections.
3. According to the passage,NASA will launch a satellite to .
A. take images of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the solar system B. provide early warning of thunderstorms
C. keep track of sol ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ar activities D. improve the communications on Earth
4. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage
A. Solar Storms: An Invisible Killer
B. Solar Storms: Earth Environment in Danger
C. Solar Storms: Threatening the Human Race
D. Solar Storms: Human Activities to Be Troubled

【要点综述】 这是一篇记叙文。 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )作者出生于一个贫穷的单亲家庭,然而在母亲的帮助与教导下,他克服了重重困难,从后进生一跃而成为优等生,并实现了自己的梦想,成为了一名医生。这一成功的事例说明,在教育子女方面,父母才是最好的老师。
1.C 根据“…and even ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tually I…my dream and I became a doctor.”可知“我”梦想成为一名医生。故选C。
2.D 此处使用did 代替前文的spent, 避免重复。
3.B 由上下文可知,母亲非常严厉。“我 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )们”每人必须要阅读从底特律公共图书馆借来的两本书,还要上交读书心得。present sth to sb把某物呈交给某人。
4.D 由“My mother was illiterate.”得知,此处是母亲的一个计谋。
5.B 这里想表达的是:“我”想和其 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )他男孩子们去闲逛。get along with sb 与某人和睦相处;hang out闲逛;break away 逃脱,脱离;keep in touch with sb与某人保持联系。故选B。
6.C 由下文scrubbi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng floors and cleaning bathrooms可知,此处意为“母亲干完各种活儿回到家”。work 在此用作及物动词,意为“完成,干完”。
7.D 此处是“buy sb sth”的结构。此处意为“由你来为这个家买伙食、付账单”。
8.A 此处是“with + 宾语 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )+ 宾补”结构。money 与leave over之间是被动关系。语境:剩下的钱你都拿去买意大利针织衫吧。
9.B 由自己理财并可以用剩下的钱买自己想要的东西,很显然,这样的决定让“我”开心不已。
10.D 由but 可知并非如“我”所愿。语境:但当“我”把该花的钱都分配完毕时,手里已分文不剩。
11.A 这里想表达的是:更不用说 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )买衣服。let alone更不用说;let out 使放出;let in 使进入;leave alone 不理会,不理睬。故选A。
12.C 通过这件事,“我”还意识到,一时的满足并不会给“我”带来什么成就,而成功需要智力上的准备,于是“我”又发奋学习了。
13.B 最终“我”实现了自己当医生的梦想。fulfill 履行,完成,达到。
14.A 由上文可知“我”的母亲是这样一 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )位女士,粗通文墨、家境贫寒,却利用家长的身份改变了世上很多人的生活。education是不可数名词,故用little 修饰,故选A。
15.C 由上文得知,没有哪件事比对子女的教育更重要了。
阅读下列四篇短文,从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
Jacqueline Bouvie ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r Kennedy Onassis was one of the most private women in the world, yet when she went to work as an editor in the last two decades of her life, she revealed(展现) herself as she did nowhere else.
After the death of her second husband, Greek shipping magnate(巨头) Aristotle Onassis, Jacqueline’s close friend and former White House social secretary Letitia Baldrige made a suggestion that she consider a career(职业) in publishing. After consideration, Jacqueline accepted it. Perhaps she hoped to find there some ideas about how to live her own life. She became not less but more interested in reading. For the last 20 years of her life, Jacqueline worked as a publisher’s editor, first at Viking, then at Doubleday, pursuing(追求) a late-life career longer than her two marriages combined. During her time in publishing, she was responsible for managing and editing more than 100 successfully marketed books. Among the first books were In the Russian Style and Inventive Paris Clothes. She also succeeded in persuading TV hosts Bill Moyers and Joseph Campbell to transform their popular television conversations into a book, The Power of Myth. The book went on to become an international best-seller. She dealt, too, with Michael Jackson as he prepared his autobiography(自传), Moonwalk.
Jacqueline may have b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )een hired for her name and for her social relations, but she soon proved her worth. Her choices, suggestions and widespread social relations were of benefit both to the publishing firms and to Jacqueline herself. In the books she selected for publication, she built on a lifetime of spending time by herself as a reader and left a record of the growth of her mind. Her books are the autobiography she never wrote.Her role as First Lady, in the end, was overshadowed by her performance as an editor. However, few knew that she had achieved so much.
1. We can learn from the passage that Jacqueline .
A. became fond of reading after working as an editor
B. was in charge of publishing 100 books
C. promoted her books through social relations
D. gained a lot from her career as an editor
2. The underline ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d sentence in the last paragraph probably means that .
A. Jacqueline ended up as an editor rather than as First Lady
B. Jacqueline’ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s life as First Lady was more colorful than as an editor
C. Jacqueline was more successful as an editor than as First Lady
D. Jacqueline’ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s role as First Lady was more brilliant than as an editor
3. What can be inferred from the passage
A. Jacqueline’s two marriages lasted more than 20 years.
B. Jacqueline’s own publishing firm was set up eventually.
C. Jacqueline’s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )views and beliefs were reflected in the books she edited.
D. Jacqueline’s achievements were widely known.
4. The passage is mainly .
A. an introduction of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Jacqueline’s life both as First Lady and as an editor
B. a brief description of Jacqueline’s lifelong experiences
C. a brief acco ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )unt of Jacqueline’s career as an editor in her last 20 years
D. an analysis of Jacqueline’s social relations in publishing

About ten me ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are luckier,only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps,after all,it is safer to be driven by a woman.

In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”.These help us see in a bright day and tell the difference between colors. There are also millions of “rods”, but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shape but no color. Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes(蚊子) like blue but do not like yellow. A red light will not attract insects,but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day,and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around us.
1. This passage is mainly about ________.
A. color and its s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )urprising effects B. women being luckier than men
C. danger caused by color blindness D. color blindness
2. According ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to the passage,with the help of the “cones”,we can ________.
A. tell different colors B. see in weak light
C. tell different shapes D. tell orange from yellow
3. Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women
A. Women are more careful. B. There are fewer color blind women.
C. Women are ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )fonder of driving than men. D. Women are weaker but quicker in thinking.

Tim Richter and his ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) wife, Linda, had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo, New York—he in computers, she in special education. “Teaching means everything to us, " Tim would say. In April 1998, he learned he would need a heart operation. It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life’s purpose.
Not long after the sur ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )gery, Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library, a program started by Dolly Parton’s foundation(基金会) that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singer’s home town of Sevier, Tennessee. “I thought, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire, “ Tim recalls. He placed the brochure on his desk, “as a reminder. "
Five years later, n ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ow retired and with that brochure still on the desk, Tim clicked on imaginationlibrary. com. The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts.
The quality of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the books was of great concern to the Richters. Rather than sign up online, they went to Dollywood for a look-see. “We didn’t want to give the children rubbish, " says Linda. The books—reviewed each year by teachers, literacy specialists, and Dollywood board members—included classics such as Ezra Jack Keats’s The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdney’s Llama Llama series.
Satisfied, the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work. Since 2004, they have shipped more than 12, 200 books to preschoolers in their area. Megan Williams, a mother of four, is more than appreciative: “This program introduces us to books I’ve never heard of."
The Richters spend ab ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )out $400 a month sending books to 200 children. “Some people sit there and wait to die, “ says Tim. “Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left."

A. His health problem. B. His love for teaching.
C. The influence of his wife. D. The news from the Web.
2. What did Tim want to do after learning about Imagination Library

C. Write books for children. D. Retire from being a teacher.
3. According to the text, Dolly Parton is .
A. a well-known surgeon B. a mother of a four-year-old
C. a singer born in Tennessee D. a computer programmer
4. Why did the Richters go to Dollywood
A. To avoid signing up online.
B. To meet Dollywood board members.
C. To make sure the books were the newest.
D. To see if the books were of good quality.
5. What can we learn from Tim’s words in the last paragraph
A. He needs more money to help the children.
B. He wonders why some people are so busy.
C. He tries to save those waiting to die.
D. He considers his efforts worthwhile.

Have you ever ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) noticed the colour of the water in a river or stream after a heavy rainfall What do you think caused this change in colour It is soil that has been washed into the river from the riverbank or from the nearby fields.
Components of Soil
Soil is made ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) up of a number of layers(层),each having its own distinctive colour and texture. The upper layer is know as the litter. It acts like a blanket,limiting temperature changes and reducing water loss. The topsoil layer is made up of small particles of rock mixed with rotten plant and animal matter called humus(腐殖质),which is black and gives the topsoil its dark colour. This layer is usually rich in nutrients,oxygen,and water. Below the topsoil is the subsoil,a layer that contains more stones mixed with only small amounts of organic matter. This layer is lighter in colour because of the lack of humus. Beneath the soil lies a layer of bedrock.
Soil forms from the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) bottom up. Over time bedrock is attacked by rain,wind,frost,and snow. It is gradually broken down into smaller particles in a process called weathering. Plants begin to grow,and rotten materials enrich the topsoil. Most of the soil in Eastern Canada,for example,was formed from weathered rock that was exposed when the ice disappeared 12,000 years ago.
Water Beneath the Soil
Surface water colle ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cts and flows above the ground in lakes,ponds,and rivers. Once in the soil or rock,it is called groundwater. Gravity pulls groundwater through the soil in a process called percolation(渗透). Eventually the water reaches a layer called the water table. Under this is bedrock through which water cannot percolate.
As water percolat ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )es downward,it dissolves organic matter and minerals from the soil and carries them to deeper layers. This causes a serious problem because plants require these nutrients for growth.
Soil pH
Soil can be acidic,n ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eutral,or basic. The pH of the soil is determined by the nature of the rock from which it was formed,and by the nature of the plants that grow and rot in it.
The acidity of rai ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n and snow can lower the pH of the groundwater that enters the soil. By burning fossil fuels such as coal,oil and gasoline,humans have been contributing to higher levels of acidity in many soils. When fossil fuels are burned,gases are released into the air and then fall back to earth as acid rain. Acid soil increases the problem of carrying nutrients to lower soil levels. As nutrients are removed,soil is less fertile. Plants grow more slowly in acidic soil,and also become easily attacked by diseases.
1. The layer of soi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l that provides necessary nutrients for plant growth is called .
A. litter B. topsoil C. humus D. subsoil
2. According to the text,which of the following isNOT true
A. Soil forms from weathered rock on the earth surface.
B. The deeper l ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ayer of soil is darker in colour than the surface soil.
C. Air pollution is partially responsible for acid soil.
D. Groundwater tends to carry away nutrients for plant growth.
3. We can infer from the passage that the water table lies .
A. between the topsoil layer and the subsoil layer
B. in the subsoil layer above bedrock
C. between the subsoil layer and bedrock
D. in the bedrock layer beneath the subsoil
4. The underlined w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ord“dissolve” is used to express the idea that organic matter and minerals from soil are .
A. rushed away into t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he river B. cleaned and purified by water
C. destroyed a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nd carried away by water D. mixed with water and become part of it

16. a。考查冠词。此处泛指单数可数名词,所以应用不定冠词来修饰。
17. but。考查连词。根据句意“虽然刚开始我只是在那儿工作,后来我很快开始了烘焙”,前后两部分是转折关系,因此应填but。

19. pleased。考查词类转换。此处应用形容词pleased 形容作者的心情。

23. had been ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )accepted。考查动词的时态语语态。此处根据主句的时态及句意可知应为过去完成时,另外,主语与动词accept之间为被动关系。
24. on。考查介词。make decisions on sth 意为“做决定”。
25. to ship。考查非谓语动词。此处为动词不定式作后置定语,意为“即将要运输的那些货物”。

Shay and his ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )father had walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing baseball. Shay asked,“Do you think they’ll let me play ”Shay’s father knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team,but the father also understood that if his son,mentally and physically disabled,were allowed to play,it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence.
Shay’s father approach ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed one of the boys on the field and asked if Shay could play,not expecting much. The boy looked around and said,“We’re losing by six runs(分)and the game is in the eighth inning(局). I guess he can be on our team and we’ll try to put him in to bat in the final inning. “
Shay struggled over ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to the team’s bench and put on a team shirt with a broad smile and his father had a small tear in his eye and warmth in his heart. The boys saw the father’s joy at his son being accepted.
In the bottom of the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eighth inning,Shay’s team scored a few runs but was still behind by three. In the top of the final inning,Shay put on a glove and played in the field. Even though no hits came his way,he was obviously joyful just to be in the game and on the field. In the bottom of the final inning,Shay’s team scored again. Now,Shay was scheduled to be next at bat. Would they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game
Surprisingly,Shay was ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was almost impossible. The first pitch(投) came and Shay missed. The pitcher again took a few steps forward to throw the ball softly towards Shay. As the pitch came in,Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher.
The pitcher could h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ave easily thrown the ball to the first baseman and Shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game. Instead,the pitcher threw the ball right over the head of the first baseman,beyond the reach of all teammates. The audience and the players from both teams started screaming,“Shay,run to first!“ Never in his life had Shay ever run that far but made it to first base,wide-eyed and shocked.
Everyone sho ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uted,“Run to second!“ Catching his breath,Shay awkwardly ran towards second. By the time Shay rounded towards second base,the smallest guy on their team,who had a chance to be the hero for his team for the first time,could have thrown the ball to the second baseman,but he understood the pitcher’s intentions and he too intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third baseman’s head.
All were screaming, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )“Shay,Shay,Shay,all the way Shay. “ Shay reached third base when one opposing player ran to help him and shouted,“Shay,run to third. “ As Shay rounded third,all were on their feet,crying,“Shay,run home!”Shay ran to home,stepped on the home base and was cheered as the hero who won the game for his team.
That day,the b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )oys from both teams helped bring a piece of true love and humanity into this world. Shay didn’t make it to another summer and died that winter,having never forgotten being the hero and making his father so happy and coming home and seeing his mother tearfully hug her little hero of the day!

How Room Designs Affect Our Work and Feelings
Architects have l ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ong had the feeling that the places we live in can affect our thoughts, feelings and behaviors. But now scientists are giving this feeling an empirical(经验的, 实证的) basis. They are discovering how to design spaces that promote creativity, keep people focused, and lead to relaxation.
Researches sh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ow that aspects of the physical environment can influence creativity. In 2007, Joan Meyers-Levy at the University of Minnesota, reported that the height of a room’s ceiling affects how people think. Her research indicates that higher ceilings encourage people to think more freely, which may lead them to make more abstract connections. Low ceilings, on the other hand, may inspire a more detailed outlook.
In addition to ceiling height, the view afforded by a building may influence an occupant’s ability to concentrate. Nancy Wells and her colleagues at Cornell University found in their study that kids who experienced the greatest increase in greenness as a result of a family move made the most gains on a standard test of attention.
Using nature to improve focus of attention ought to pay off academically, and it seems to, according to a study led by C. Kenneth Tanner, head of the School Design & Planning Laboratory at the University of Georgia. Tanner and his team found that students in classrooms with unblocked views of at least 50 feet outside the window had higher scores on tests of vocabulary, language arts and maths than did students whose classrooms primarily overlooked roads and parking lots.
Recent study on ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) room lighting design suggests that dim (暗淡的) light helps people to loosen up. If that is true generally, keeping the light low during dinner or at parties could increase relaxation. Researchers of Harvard Medical School also discovered that furniture with rounded edges could help visitors relax.
So far scientists have ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) focused mainly on public buildings. “We have a very limited number of studies, so we’re almost looking at the problem through a straw(吸管),” architect David Allison says. “How do you take answers to very specific questions and make broad, generalized use of them That’s what we’re all struggling with.”
1. What does Joan Meyers-Levy focus on in her research
A. Light. B. Ceilings. C. Windows. D. Furniture.
2. The passage tells us that .
A. the shape of furniture may affect people’s feelings
B. lower ceilings may help improve students’ creativity
C. children in a dim classroom may improve their grades
D. students in rooms with unblocked views may feel relaxed
3. The underlined ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sentence in the last paragraph probably means that .
A. the problem is not approached step by step
B. the researches so far have faults in themselves
C. the problem is too difficult for researchers to detect
D. research in this area is not enough to make generalized patterns
4. Which of the following shows the organization of the passage
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )
CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point(次要点) C: Conclusion
