阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项中(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
Harry is eighteen no ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )w. He studies in a middle school. His parents like him very much and hope he can become a famous man. So they often tell him to study hard and they do all for him. They call him at six in the morning, after breakfast his father takes him to school in a car and in the afternoon, as soon as the young man comes back, the super is ready. Of course, he never washes his colthes or goes to buy something in the shops.
Once Harry’s fathe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r was sent to London on business, he would stay there for half a year. Leaving, he told his wife to take good care of their son. The woman had to get up earlier and did all what her husband did before. And two months later she was so tired that she was ill in bed. Now the young man got into trouble. He couldn’t do any housework. He had to do as his mother told him. Even he didn’t know where to get on the bus!
Yesterday Harry’s m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )other found his shoes were worn out and told him to buy a new pair in the shop. But he didn’t know how to choose. The woman had a sigh(叹息) and gave him a shoe pattern(鞋样) and told him to but a pair of shoes himself. With a policeman’s help, he found a shop. The shopkeeper was friendly to him. The man brought a lot of shoes and asked him to choose. When he was trying on a pair, suddenly he remembered something and took them off. The man was surprised and asked, “What’s the matter, young man ”
“I’m sorry, I’ve left the shoe pattern at home!”

Each time I se ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e a balloon, my mind flies back to a memory of when I was a six-year-old girl. It was a rainy Sunday and my father had recently died. I asked my mom if Dad had gone to heaven. “Yes, honey. Of course.” She said.
“Can we write him a letter ”
She paused, the longest pause of my short life, and answered, “Yes.”
My heart jumped, “How Does the mailman go there ” I asked.
“No, but I have an ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )idea.” Mom drove to a party store and returned with a red balloon. I asked her what it was for.
“ Just wait, honey. ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) You’ll see.” Mom told me to write my letter. Eagerly, I got my favorite pen, and poured out my six-year-old heart in the form of blue ink. I wrote about my day, what I learned at school, how Mom was doing, and even about what happened in a story I had read. For a few minutes it was as if Dad were still alive. I gave the letter to Mom. She read it over, and a smile crossed her face.
She made a hole in t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he corner of the letter where she looped the balloon string. We watched until it was swallowed by the mass of clouds.
Later I realized, like ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the balloon , that Dad had never let his sickness get him down. He was strong. No matter what he suffered, he’d persevere, dart up, and finally transcend this cold world and his sick body. He rose into sky and became something beautiful. I watched until the balloon disappeared into the gray and white and I prayed that his strength was he reditary. I prayed to be a balloon.

B.thought her a creative girl
C.believed it easy to do so

26.When the girl wa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s told that she could send a letter to her father, she .
A.jumped with joy
B.became excited
C.started writing immediately
D.was worried that it couldn’t be delivered
27.In the eyes of the author, what was the rain like
A.An incurable disease
B.An unforgettable memory
C.The hard time her father had
D.The failures her father experienced
C
There are several re ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )asons for hair loss in women. However, in most cases, treatment is quite effective. Female hair loss patterns in women are not as easily recognizable as they are in men. A woman may experience it temporarily due to pregnancy or illness, although they may experience it for other reasons.
Hair loss can be ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )due to a variety of factors, including a genetic tendency (which is not genetically linked to just one parent—both parents contribute to the tendency to lose hair).
Women who are expe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )riencing hair problems seem to have more limited choices than men. There are some female hair loss treatments that are available such as the Tricomin System which is a topical treatment that is nutrition based. Shen Min for Women is another natural treatment that contains herbs ( 药草) that are said to stimulate(刺激) hair growth and even restore hair that is graying to its natural color.
The majority of the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) popular, proven hair loss treatments are only intended for men and are not suitable for women. True, a woman’s hair issue is different from a man’s. The biological makeup is different and the needs are different. Women have different needs and their bodies react in different ways to environmental changes, physical illness and even the treatments that are available. There are many natural treatments such as vitamin and mineral supplements that are said to stimulate hair growth, but, for the most part, these claims are currently unproven.
One of the fir ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )st and most important factors to effectively treating is to get a diagnosis from a doctor. Talk to your doctor about any symptoms(症状) that you may be experiencing in addition to the thinning hair. Stress, weight loss or gain, illness and depression, all of these can be contributing factors.
28. It can be learned from the 1st paragraph that ___________.
A. usually ha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ir loss is hard to heal B. female hair loss is more common than the men’s
C. women tend to suffer from hair loss during the pregnant period
D. only illness contributes to hair loss
29. Which of the foll ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )owing statements matches the text about the two treatments
A. Both are to solve the problem of male hair loss.
B. Tricomin System is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )effective in speeding the growth of the new hair
C. Shen Min is an updated way of treating hair loss
D. The former is nutrition-based, while the latter is medicine-based.
30. The reasons for th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e differences between the female and male hair loss problems do not include _______.
A. The biologi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cal structure and composition of the hair B. The wants and needs
C. The reactions ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) and responses to the outside changes D. The approach to taking exercise
31. The natural treatments __________.
A. include vitamin an ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d mineral supplements B. are applied to keep the hair healthy
C. have been proved ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) useful D. are the most commonly-used ways
D
It is widely know ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n that any English conversation begins with The Weather. Such a fixation with the weather finds expression in Dr. Johnson’s famous comment that “When two English meet, their first talk is of weather.” Though Johnson’s observation is as accurate now as it was over two hundred years ago, most commentators(评论员) fail to come up with a convincing explanation for this English weather-speak.
Bill Bryson, for ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) example, concludes that, as the English weather is not at all exciting, the obsession with it can hardly be understood. He argues that to an outsider, the most striking thing about the English weather is that there is not very much of it.” Simply, the reason is that the unusual and unpredictable weather is almost unknown in the British Isles.
Jeremy Paxman, howe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ver, disagrees with Bryson, arguing that the English weather is by nature attractive. Bryson is wrong, he says, “because the English preference for the weather has nothing to do with the natural phenomena(现象).”The interest is less in the phenomena themselves, but in uncertainty.” According to him, the weather in England is very changeable and uncertain and it attracts the English as well as the outsider.
Bryson and Paxman ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) stand for common misconceptions about the weather-speak among the English. Both commentators, somehow, are missing the point. The English weather conversation is not really about the weather at all. English weather-speak is a system of signs, which is developed to help the speakers overcome the natural reserve and actually talk to each other. Everyone knows conversations starting with weather-speak are not requests for weather data. Rather, they are routine greetings, conversation starters or the blank “fillers”. In other words, English weather-speak is a means of social bonding.
32.The author mentions Dr. Johnson’s comment to show that________.
A. most commentators agree with Dr. Johnson
B. Dr. Johnson is famous for his weather observation
C. the comment was accurate two hundred years ago
D. English conversations usually start with the weather
33. What does the underlined word ”obsession” most probably refer to
A.A social trend. B. An emotional state.
C.A historical concept. D. An unknown phenomenon.
34.According to the passage, Jeremy Paxman believes that________.
A. Bill Bryson has little knowledge of the weather
B. there is nothing special about the English weather
C. the English weather attracts people to the British Isles
D. English people talk about the weather for its uncertainty
35.What is the author’s main purpose of writing the passage
A. To explain what English weather-speak is about.
B. To analyse misconceptions about the English weather.
C. To find fault with both Bill Bryson and Jeremy Paxman.
D. To convince people that the English weather is changeable.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余项。
How can I fight laziness
Lazy people will n ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ever amount to anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.
36 Many peopl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to procrastinate(拖延). By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day.
Another way ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from project to project. Others take a more proactive approach, viewing each project or task as a challenge they must overcome alone. 37
Some people fight ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) laziness by removing the temptations(诱惑) that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often promotes laziness. Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for a child to promote responsibility. Complete a certain number of chores and reward yourself with a good dinner. 38
39 Spo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )use(配偶) and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not addressed quickly. To fight household laziness, lead by example. Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own chores. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people.
40 Enough ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help boost your mood.
A. Knowing how to fight laziness is important.
B. One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.
C. Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home.
D. If you have a hobby, celebrate after completing a project.
E. Finally, taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.
F. With strong determination, you will be able to achieve your goal.
G. Laziness sets ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) in when you no longer feel in charge of your own life.
