As a college student in Boston, I formed the habit of buying used books. I enjoy the hunt,the good price and the unrecognized treasures.I find old textbooks, ex-bestsellers, and books on subjects I've never heard of but now I must learn all about. I don't search for rare books, first editions,or leather-bound editions but books that are worth reading.
Rereading, for me,is a pleasure during retirement. The theater and the concert hall become less appealing to me, along with crowds. Staying alone and reading books have become extremely important to me. Literature needs the flesh of experience to have its full effect. Different books offer me insights and ways of expressing that stuck in my mind as grains of sand in an oyster — now shine like pearls. My taste in books improves with age.
While packing for a move, which occurs at intervals of five to seven years, I clear my shelves and pick my books. I abandon a few, later regret my decisions, and look for them again. Several years ago, I got rid of books related to my job— architecture. Some were design guides, reference books, product catalogs,and things that went out of date. Some were historical or centered on a period or an architect. These had given me many hours of pleasure. Will I ever open their covers again Certainly. I held on to the red bulk of Sir Banister Fletcher's A History of Architecture and books on Paris, Rome, and Boston.
I gave away drafting equipment and instruments. I threw out rolls and rolls of paper, and old drawings of projects completed long ago, some of which had even been damaged. This time, I stay put in a cottage that suits my status and I've moved on in spirit. No doubt I will acquire more used books and throw away more books as passions grow and fade, like feathers changing with the seasons.
24. What does the author consider most important when choosing used books
A. Their appealing covers. B. Their reasonable prices.
C. Their collection value. D. Their excellent content.
25. What does the author realize as he grows older
A. He has a deeper understanding of reading.
B. His attitude towards work changes.
C. His communication skills improve. D. He has a small circle of friends.
26.Why does the author mention books on architecture
A. To show some books are worth rereading. B. To explain his love for architecture.
C. To suggest we avoid making poor decisions.
D. To recommend Sir Banister Fletcher's books.
27. What can we learn about the author from the last paragraph
A. He decides to stop throwing away used books.
B. He will read more books that suit his interests.
C. He will enlarge his collection of used books.
D. He is bad at using advanced drafting equipment.
C
Cigarettes aren't just harmful when they're being smoked. Even when cigarette ends go out and are cold, new research has found they continue to give off harmful chemicals in the air. In the first 24 hours alone, scientists say a used cigarette end will produce 14 percent of the nicotine(尼古丁) that an actively burning cigarette would produce.
While most of these chemicals are released within a day of cigarette ends being put out, an analysis from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) found the level of nicotine falls by just 50% five days later.
"I was absolutely surprised," said environmental engineer Dustin Poppendieck from the United States National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). "The numbers are significant and could have important impacts when cigarette ends are dealt with indoors or in cars. While much attention has been paid to the health influence of first- hand, second-hand and now third-hand smoking,it is not the case when it comes to the actual cigarette end of the matter."
To measure emissions from this forgotten thing, Poppendieck and his team placed 2,100 cigarettes that were recently put out inside a special room. Once the ends were sealed away, the team measured eight chemicals commonly produced by cigarettes, four of which the FDA have their eye on for being harmful or potentially so.
After setting the room's temperature, the researchers tested how emissions changed under certain conditions. When the air temperature of the room was higher, for instance, they noticed the ends produced these chemicals at higher rates. This finding might discourage those who want to leave ashtrays (烟灰缸) out for days at a time, especially in the heat.
28. What do the researchers say about cigarette ends
A.They contain little nicotine. B.They give off nicotine for days.
C. They produce no nicotine five days later.
D.They create as much nicotine as burning cigarettes.
29. What do Poppendieck's words suggest
A. First-hand smoking does most harm. B.The findings are within his expectation.
C. Cigarettes should be dealt with indoors. D. Health influence of cigarette ends is ignored.
30. Which word best describes the author's attitude to not cleaning ashtrays for days
A. Disapproving. B. Unconcerned. C. Unclear. D. Puzzled.
31. What can be the best title for the text
A. Research Found Reasons For Cigarette Ends' Harm
B. Cigarettes Are More Harmful While Being Smoked
C. Used Cigarette Ends Release Harmful Chemicals
D. Cigarette Ends Produce More Chemicals in the Heat
D
Culture is the invisible bond which ties people together. The art, literature, language, and religion of a community represent its culture. The importance of culture lies in its close association with the ways of thinking and living. Differences in cultures have led to a diversity in the people from different parts of the world.
How we perceive things is largely affected by our judgment skills, preconceived notions, attitude, and emotions. These factors are closely linked with our culture. In perceiving something as good or bad, our biases play a role and so does our way of thinking. People who belong to cultures that promote individualism tend to look at only the main aspects of a situation, while those of a culture that promotes collectivism tend to consider even the minor details. People of Eastern cultures perceive success as being a collective effort,while those of the American culture perceive it as the fruit of individual effort.
Culture affects perception, and perceptions drive behavior. Thus, the culture we belong to has a direct impact on our behavior. Moreover, our environment,which has cultural influences,shapes our behavior. In a society where boys are discouraged from crying, men think of it as an odd gesture.
Group culture determines the behavioral norms for a group. To be accepted as a part of the group, we tend to follow what the group decides for us. Influenced by the norms or rules laid out by our culture,we act in accordance with them.Our culture defines people's expectations from us. In the attempt to fulfill them, we shape our behavior and personality to suit our culture. Our religion, traditions, customs, all a part of our culture, play a major role in shaping our personalities. In a culture where children are taught to be independent early in life, they grow up to be individualistic. In a culture where boys and girls are not treated as equal, children may become aggressive and look at the opposite gender as their enemy, or those treated as inferior may grow up to be submissive.
What do people tend to do if they belong to a culture that promotes collectivism
A. Ignore all unimportant aspects. B.Think about as many details as possible.
C. View success as a result of individual effort.
D. Blame their own failure on others.
33. What does the underlined word“odd” in Paragraph 3 mean
A.Harmless. B. Acceptable. C. Strange. D.Interesting.
34. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A.The ways of educating children. B.The diversity of personalities.
C.The behavioral norms of a certain group.
D.The influence of culture on personalities.
35. How is the passage mainly developed
A. By providing examples. B. By making comparisons.
C. By following the order of time. D. By following the order of importance.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In 2003, I graduated from high school and I had some difficulty choosing a career path before college started in three months. In those days in Pakistan, there were limited options: becoming a doctor or an engineer, or entering the financial world after getting a business degree.
I wasn't interested in engineering, so I was left with medicine or business. I couldn't decide.
My uncle, an influential person in the family, suggested that I do a one-month work placement in an international company followed by another in a hospital. And then I could make a decision. It seemed like a brilliant idea.
I was accepted by a foreign bank in Karachi.I got an understanding of how the world of finance functioned, made new friends, and generally enjoyed the mostly easy-going work surroundings. The month passed rapidly, and soon I began working at a leading hospital in Karachi. The experience couldn't have been more different. The hospital had an intense environment. The days started early (at 7am, compared to 9 am at the bank), and were filled with endless duties. And there were night calls! This was crazy! I was working all day, through the night, and the next day was the same.
I began thinking about my two experiences. The bank had offered a more relaxing atmosphere, better working hours and less stress. The hospital was full of excitement and unpredictability(不可预测性）, but the studying and training was difficult. It seemed that the business option was going to win out.
Near the end of my month at the hospital, I was driving home after an especially busy night. In front of me was a public bus, with college students siting on the top. As the driver weaved through(穿梭) traffic, I could see the boys shaking from side to side.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在相应的位置作答。
Suddenly, a boy fell off the back of the bus.________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________
The next day, when I went to hospital to see the boy, all his family got up, with grateful smiles on their faces.____________________________________________________________

22.C。理解具体信息。根据时间表中的信息可知，11:30 a.m.属于Class7的接种时间。
23.A。理解具体信息。根据Notes中的Students who take the vaccine have to bring their school identity card可知，前往接种的学生需要携带学生证。
B篇
【短文大意】本文作者主要从购买二手书的经历、重新阅读的意义和不断更新自己的读物等几个方面说明阅读的重要性和意义。
24.D细节理解题。根据第一段中的"I don't search for tare books, first editions, or leather-bound editions but books that are worth reading"可知，作者只寻找值得阅读的书，也就是说作者最看重的是书的内容。
25. A 推理判断题。根据第二段" Different books offer me insights and ways of expressing that stuck in my mind as grains of sand in an oyster—now shine like pearls. My taste in books improves with age"可知，随着年龄的增大，作者对读书有了更深的理解。
26. A推理判断题。根据第三段中的"I abandon a few, later regret my decisions, and look for them again"和"These had given me many hours of pleasure. Will I ever open their covers again Certainly"可知，作者提到建筑书籍的目的是想用亲身经历说明这些书值得再次阅读，并且给自己带来了快乐。
27. B推理判断题。根据最后一段" No doubt I will acquire more used books and throw away more books as passions grow and fade, like feathers changing with the seasons"可知，作者会根据自己热情的变化读更多不同的书。
C篇
28.B 细节理解题。根据第二段中的"While most of these chemicals are released within a day of cigarette ends being put out, an analysis from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) found the level of nicotine falls by just50% five days later"可知，烟蒂熄灭5天后尼古丁含量仅下降50%，故选B项。
29 D 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中 Poppendieck 所说的"While much attention has been paid to the health influence of first-hand, second-hand and now third-hand smoking, it is not the case when it comes to the actual cigarette end of thematter"可知，人们不像关注一手烟、二手烟和三手烟对健康的影响那样关注烟蒂对健康的影响，即它对健康的影响被忽视了；另外，第四段首句"To measure emissions from this forgotten thing"也表明，人们常常忽视烟蒂的危害。故选D。
30. A观点态度题。根据文章最后一段中的"When the air temperature of the room was higher, for instance, they noticed the ends produced these chemicals at higher rates"可知，房间温度高时，烟蒂释放有害的化学物质的速度更快，再根据"This finding might discourage those who want to leave ashtrays(烟灰缸) out for days at a time, especially in the heat”可知，作者并不认同好几天不清理烟灰缸的做法。故选A。
点拨在做观点态度题时，考生一定要根据文章所阐述的事实细节和上下大的结示，进行综合分析，然后推断出作者的态度。
31 C 最佳标题题。
Para. 1-Para.2 研究发现烟蒂熄灭后仍然会放出有害物质。
Dustin Poppendieck 对研究结果的
Para.3 反应和分析。
Para.4-Para.5 Dustin Poppendieck及其团队开展调研的过程和方法。
文章第一、二段提出了一项研究及研究发现，第三段至第五段分别说明了对该研究结果的分析、研究的过程以及方法，由此可知，文章主题就是该研究发现：熄灭的烟蒂仍会释放有害化学物质。A项很好地概括了中心，最适合作本文标题。
D 篇
32.B 细节理解题。根据第二段倒数第二句可知，在推崇或倡导集体主义的文化中，人们考虑问题时会涉及非常细微的方面。
33.C 词义猜测题。第三段主要讲文化对行为的影响。如果一种社会文化不鼓励男孩子哭，那么男性就会把哭当成一种有悖于社会文化对自身期待的行为，也就是说，odd应该表示“奇怪的，不正常的”。
34.D 主旨大意题。本段提到了文化对行为规范与性格有影响，但文化对于行为的影响已在倒数第二段着重提到，本段提到文化影响行为主要起到一个过渡作用，文化对性格的影响才是本段谈论的中心话题。
35.A 篇章结构题。通读全文可知本文属于总分结构，第一段是总起段，后面三段通过举例，分别从认识、行为、性格三个具体方面谈论文化对人的影响。
七选五
36.C该句“有些音乐会让你泪流满面”与上文“有些音乐能打动你的心，有些音乐让你充满欢乐”内容相似、形式相同。
37.G该句“你通常放反映你的思想或你的情绪的音乐”为支撑句。该句与该段小标题“音乐让你表达情绪”主题相同。关键词为“情绪”。
38.E 该句“音乐使学习更愉快”为标题句。下段内容就是倾听音乐，让大脑感到舒适，从而会记住要学习的内容。
39、B 该句“因为音乐就是一种美的艺术”为结尾句。该句顺承上文提到的“无论这项伟大发明是什么，它都需要艺术”，关键词为“艺术”。
40.A 该句“这就是结果”为过渡句。上文为“如果儿童接受三年或三年以上的音乐训练，这些孩子表现得更好”，该空下句提到“他们的听说能力比那些没有接受音乐培训的人更好”，该句置于两句之间，为下文的解释说明做铺垫。

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, it’s my honor to be here to talk about short-sightedness.
As we all know, an increasing number of students are short-sighted, which has become a nationwide concern. There are many factors contributing to your short-sightedness, like reading in a poor-lighted environment, spending too much time on your screen. Then, how to protect your eyes First, I suggest you should have an eye test every year. If you are already short-sighted, wearing glasses is the safest way to protect your eyes from further injuries. Besides, you’d better eat more eggs, carrots and dark-green leafy vegetables , which are good for our eyes. What’s more, get enough sleep to ensure your eyes can get a good rest. Don’t focus on your computer screen for a long time. Take frequent breaks to give your eyes a rest.
I hope that all of you can swing into action to protect your eyes. Love your eyes, love yourself!

【参考范文】
Suddenly, a boy fell off the back of the bus. He was lying in the middle of the road,groaning in pain. It was obvious that he was badly injured. However, the bus drove away quickly without noticing it. With the knowledge of first aid I got from the hospital experience, I knew that if the boy was bleeding for some time, he could die. I stopped my car immediately. I lifted his unconscious body into my car with the help of some passers-by and then raced back to the hospital. After the boy was out of danger, I drove home.
The next day, when I went to hospital to see the boy, all his family got up,with grateful smiles on their faces. The mother held my hands tightly and said in a trembling voice.
