Tommy Rhomberg was a twelve-year-old young boy in Iowa. Last summer, his home state was destroyed by Great Derecho. He soon came up with a creative idea to raise money for his community by making and selling baseball bats out of wood brought down by the storm.
The idea for the bats originally began as Tommy prepared a birthday gift for his friend. Then many others expressed interest in owning Great Derecho bats of their own. At first, Tommy didn’t take it seriously, but since so many people in the area needed help after the storm, he determined to make a difference to them.
The first bat took Tommy 10 hours to carve and sand (用砂纸打磨) out of a tree branch that had fallen in his yard. With blisters (水泡) on his hands, Tommy had to refuse his brother’s request for making another bat. But as he began receiving more orders, he streamlined the process with a machine with the help of his grandfather. Tommy promised $20 from each order would go to the local disaster relief fund to rebuild the community.
When asked why he started the “bat business”, Tommy replied, “We got kind of lucky with the storm. We didn’t have much damage, but just driving around town there were people with houses destroyed, and I just wanted to raise money so we could help them rebuild. I feel like it’s really helping people.”
Tommy has made more than 100 bats, raising more than $2,500 to help out his community, and orders have come in from as far as Arizona and Connecticut. Tommy is not taking additional orders at the moment, but it’s possible that he’ll make more bats in the future, according to his website.
20. What does the underlined words “Great Derecho” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. A place. B. A person. C. A storm. D. An idea.
Tommy made the first bat because .
A. his brother asked him to make one
B. his grandfather suggested producing one
C. he wanted to give his friend a gift
D. he was interested in playing baseball
What did Tommy do for the community
A. He collected the wood. B. He donated money.
C. He rebuilt the school. D. He repaired the machine.
23. What can we learn from the story
A. Well begun, half done. B. Don’t judge a book by its cover.
C. A friend in need is a friend indeed. D. Little people can make a big difference.
C
EQ means people’s ability to understand their own feelings and the feelings of others.
It is the ability to perceive, interpret, demonstrate, control, evaluate, and use emotions to communicate with and relate to others effectively and constructively. This ability to express and control emotions is essential, but so is the ability to understand, interpret, and respond to the emotions of others. Some experts suggest that emotional intelligence is more important than IQ for success in life.
It is generally believed that people with high EQs are open to new ideas and have positive attitudes towards life. They are also less likely to be troubled by internal problems. On the other hand, there is little doubt that people with low EQs often have problems getting on with other people and dealing with difficult situations; hence they have a harder time adjusting in life and in their careers.
People generally believe that a person’s IQ is determined by birth. However, most social scientists agree that EQ has a lot to do with education. Some are trying to study the possibility of improving a person’s EQ, especially in terms of “people kills”, such as understanding and communication.
Professor Mayer, recognised by many as a leading expert in the study of changes to people’s EQs, recently announced the results of a study on senior secondary school students. When students were introduced to those who had disabilities, they found that, afterwards, the non-disabled students were more willing to help people with pared to students who had not been involved in the study, they also showed a better understanding of the disabled students’ feelings. There was also an obvious change in the disabled students’ attitudes. They became more positive about life and more willing to try new things.
Altogether, the results of studies show that EQ is as important, if not more important than IQ. To get ahead in the world and lead a happy successful life requires getting on well with other people and being able to understand and react to situations in the best way possible. A high EQ is necessary for this—the higher the better. And the fact that it might be possible to raise EQs means that schools need to make sure that their students are receiving an education they really need, not solely based on IQ but on developing the entire character.
24. What is mainly talked about in the first two paragraphs
A. What is EQ B. What is IQ
C. the relationship between EQ and IQ D. the difference between EQ and IQ
25. According to the passage, which is the characteristics of people with high EQ
A. try new things B. brave in dangers
C. believe everybody around D. give chance to others
26. Which one of the following is not Professor Mayer’s opinion on EQ
A. can be improved B. is related to education
C. is determined by birth D. can help people get a good job
27. What methods the writer uses to support his arguments ________.
(1) giving examples
(2) using data
(3) citing ideas from expert or authors
(4) referring to common knowledge
A. (1)(2)(3) B. (1)(2)(4) C. (2)(3)(4) D. (1)(3)(4)
第二节：信息还原。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。选项中有一项为多余选项。(每小题2分，共6分)
These days many people choose to live or work in other countries, which has been made possible because of the convenience of air travel and modern communications. I believe that this has more benefits than drawbacks.
____28____If a person moves away, it is true that air travel and devices such as Skype mean that communication and contact can be maintained. However, it is likely that a person will only be able to return one or two times a year during holidays, and speaking on skype or via email is not the same as face-to-face contact.
Despite this, there are significant advantages it can bring to people's lives. Firstly, it means that people have the opportunity to see other parts of the world and the way people live. For example, people from the West often go to work in Asia or the Middle East and visa-versa. ____29____
In addition to this, on a wider level it may also benefit other countries. ____30____To illustrate, nurses and doctors often move to work in hospitals in other countries when there is a shortage, so this is very valuable to the place they move to.
I would therefore argue that although there are disadvantages of the current trend to live and work abroad, they are outweighed by the advantages. It can enrich people's lives and lives of the people in the countries that they move to.
A. If someone moves abroad for work, it is usually because their skill is required there.
B. The disadvantage of this development is the distance that is put between family members.
C. This enriches people's lives as they get to learn about things different from their own country.
D. This helps people get to live the same life in the country they work.

A Rubbish Collector’s Work Is Never Done
Brian Kane was a rubbish collector in Denver, Colorado. Eight hours a day, five days a week, fifty weeks a year, he rode on the back of a garbage truck. At each stop, he would jog to the back of buildings, then drag heavy rubbish cans to the truck. Brian never complained. Brian saw these hardships as opportunities to become strong and fit. His job was a training ground for his lifelong dream: to climb Mount Qomolangma.
On his thirtieth birthday, Brian took a leave from his job and flew to Nepal to begin the long, difficult journey up Mount Qomolangma. Brian first climbed to a base camp. He planned to bring three oxygen containers (罐) with him to the top. At 29,028 feet, it would be hard to survive without extra oxygen. Over the next two months, Brian climbed to 26,000 feet, to Camp Four—the last place to rest below the top of the mountain. But when Brian saw this camp, he fell to his knees.
“Rubbish!” he cried.
Nearly a thousand empty oxygen containers littered the camp area. Humans had turned this beautiful, far-away place into a big rubbish pile (堆). Brian was very sad. But with a strong determination he continued to follow his dream.
Two days later, he stood proudly on the top of Mount Qomolangma. He had reached the “roof of the world!” Two days after this great achievement, Brian put a dozen empty oxygen containers in his pack and headed down the mountain. He smiled to himself as he realized that the work of a rubbish collector is great and never done.

In addition to this, on a wider level it may also benefit other countries. ____30____To illustrate, nurses and doctors often move to work in hospitals in other countries when there is a shortage, so this is very valuable to the place they move to.
I would therefore argue that although there are disadvantages of the current trend to live and work abroad, they are outweighed by the advantages. It can enrich people's lives and lives of the people in the countries that they move to.
A. If someone moves abroad for work, it is usually because their skill is required there.
B. The disadvantage of this development is the distance that is put between family members.
C. This enriches people's lives as they get to learn about things different from their own country.
D. This helps people get to live the same life in the country they work.

A Rubbish Collector’s Work Is Never Done
Brian Kane was a rubbish collector in Denver, Colorado. Eight hours a day, five days a week, fifty weeks a year, he rode on the back of a garbage truck. At each stop, he would jog to the back of buildings, then drag heavy rubbish cans to the truck. Brian never complained. Brian saw these hardships as opportunities to become strong and fit. His job was a training ground for his lifelong dream: to climb Mount Qomolangma.
On his thirtieth birthday, Brian took a leave from his job and flew to Nepal to begin the long, difficult journey up Mount Qomolangma. Brian first climbed to a base camp. He planned to bring three oxygen containers (罐) with him to the top. At 29,028 feet, it would be hard to survive without extra oxygen. Over the next two months, Brian climbed to 26,000 feet, to Camp Four—the last place to rest below the top of the mountain. But when Brian saw this camp, he fell to his knees.
“Rubbish!” he cried.
Nearly a thousand empty oxygen containers littered the camp area. Humans had turned this beautiful, far-away place into a big rubbish pile (堆). Brian was very sad. But with a strong determination he continued to follow his dream.
Two days later, he stood proudly on the top of Mount Qomolangma. He had reached the “roof of the world!” Two days after this great achievement, Brian put a dozen empty oxygen containers in his pack and headed down the mountain. He smiled to himself as he realized that the work of a rubbish collector is great and never done.

Dear Jack,
I’m so glad you’re coming to Beijing during the Spring Festival season. It’s the best time to experience Chinese holiday culture. I’ve planned a one-day tour for you in Beijing.
In the morning, we will go to Ditan Temple Fair, one of the biggest in Beijing. There you’ll learn about typical Chinese folk arts such as paper cuts and calligraphy artwork. We’ll also watch dragon and lion dances, an important celebration show for the holiday. At noon, we will try some local snacks there. I’m sure it’ll be a new experience for you.
I know you are interested in Peking Opera, so we’ll go to Beijing Liyuan Theatre in the afternoon. You will see what different opera mask colors mean. I believe the stage performance will impress you most!
