About 15 years ago, Andrew McLindon, a business owner and passionate cyclist, was riding his bike in Austin, Texas, when he thought about a friend's 12-year-old son．The boy had never known the joy of biking because he suffered from a brain condition that often caused balance disturbances．
When he got home, McLindon, now 60, went online and found a three-wheel recumbent (侧卧的) bike with a seat belt, perfect for a child with balance issues．Soon the boy was cycling around the street with his peers, having fun and getting exercise．But there was more, as McLindon learned from his friend's reaction．“To see his son interacting with other kids，” McLindon says．“I'll never forget the smile on his face．”
That smile launched the McLindon Family Foundation．Funded by donations, the group works with pediatric rehab (小儿康复) clinics to find children who can benefit from owning an adaptive bike and to help craft each bike to the particular needs of the child．A bike may include a headrest, a shoulder band, a seat belt, and a caregiver's steering and braking system in the back．The bikes are expensive—$3，000 to $4，000, and that's with the foundation's large discount．For kids lucky enough to get one, they're a life changer．
“We worked with a 14-year-old girl who had a back problem，” says McLindon．She spent most days on the couch watching TV．Soon after she got her bike, she was training for special-needs triathlons (铁人三项)．In a magazine interview, she said, “I always knew there was an athlete in me．”
So far, the foundation has given away 450 bikes, and that's just a start．“I do a lot of things．I run a lot of companies，” McLindon says．“But getting these kids their bikes is the most important thing that I do．”
4．What inspired Andrew McLindon to search for a special bike online
A．His enthusiasm for cycling．
B．His ambition to start a new business．
C．His goal to invent a new type of bike．
D．His desire to help a boy with balance issues．
5．Why was McLindon Family Foundation established

D．To offer a social network to children with special needs．

B．They can provide exercise and fun．
C．They can relieve physical suffering．
D．They can improve academic performance．
7．What does McLindon think of his work with the McLindon Family Foundation

Mirroring body language is a way to bond and to build understanding．It is a powerful tool that we use without even knowing it．
The most obvious forms of mirroring are yawning and smiling．When you see someone yawn, you are likely to yawn immediately．Smiling is also pretty contagious—seeing a smiling person makes you want to smile too．
Mirroring body language is a non-verbal way to say “I am like you or I feel the same”．Research shows that people who experience the same feelings are likely to trust, understand and accept each other．Women have the natural ability to pick up and understand body signals．Therefore, it is not surprising that a woman is more likely to mirror another woman than a man is to mirror another man．
That's why women are regarded as better talkers, even if they might not really have more close friends．
Mirroring body language is an excellent way to build trust and understanding quickly．If you want to set up a connection with others, mirror their gestures, sitting position, tone of voice and talking pace．This will make them feel that there is something about you that they like．
While mirroring body language gains you acceptance, you still need to take into consideration your relationship with the person you are mirroring．If you are in a lower social position and are mirroring the body language of your boss, he will view you as rude．However, if you want to defeat those who are trying to prove superior to you, mirroring their body language will help defeat them and change their position．
8．What does the underlined word “contagious” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Affecting each other．
B．Showing one's feelings．
C．Attractive to the others．
D．Gentle to people around．
9．What can we know about women from the research
A．They don't like mirroring others．
B．They tend to have more close friends．
C．They are naturally gifted in building trust．
D．They are good at interpreting body language．
10．What is the author's attitude to the behaviour of mirroring the boss
A．Indifferent．　　 B．Curious．
C．Doubtful． D．Disapproving．
11．What is the best title for the text
A．The Common Forms of Mirroring
B．The Excellent Method of Mirroring
C．Mirroring Body Language：A Useful Tool
D．Non-verbal Communication：A Special Bond

Life can bring us down from time to time．At some point, you may find yourself in what you will consider as your darkest hour．As you try to find your way out of that bad situation, you should try to remind yourself that there is still a reason to be grateful．
If you look at your situation now and compare it with someone else who is in much deeper trouble than you, I am sure that you'll find something to be thankful for．We all have our share of problems．But complaining about them so much only makes us blind to the fact that there are the miracles which happen around us every day．
When all your needs are provided, then you should be content and happy．If you have a roof over your head, some decent(得体的) clothes to wear, enough food on the table, a comfortable place to sleep, clean water to drink and you are free to make your own choices, then you should be happy and grateful．Many people all around the world, especially those who are at war or those in very poor countries，would give anything to be in your conditions．
Even if you lose all your money or possessions and your heart is broken for some reason, as long as you are still alive, then every material thing you have lost can be regained．If you have a few good friends who will be there to support or help you, then be glad because true friends are hard to find．As long as you have someone to love and someone to love you back, then you are a very fortunate person．Remember to be patient and trust that things will get better．
12．What's the author's advice for those people faced with difficulties
A．They should believe in miracles to happen．
B．They should take a grateful attitude to life．
C．They should have confidence in themselves．
D．They should remind themselves to keep calm．
13．According to the author, complaints about our sufferings only result in__________．
A．being teased by others
B．taking everything for granted
C．having doubts about self-value
D．ignoring the good things in life
14．What can we infer from paragraph 3
A．People should try to make a difference．
B．People should be satisfied with what they have．
C．People should work hard to gain what they want．
D．People should practise kindness to those in need．
15．What does the author intend to tell us
A．It's not so easy to make a living．
B．It's important to have faith in life．
C．Show appreciation of what we have．
D．Never compare ourselves with others．

When I was in middle school, my family moved to Seattle, where my parents started their new business—a small grocery store downstairs my house．As a girl of shy and reserved nature, I had to take a fresh start to fit into the city life．
One sunny day, my school announced an exciting event, a talent show for the local food bank．Students were encouraged to showcase their unique talents in front of the public in the city hall on National Day．A buzz of excitement filled the school as everyone began preparing for the big day．Deep down, I felt a spark of curiosity and a desire to participate．However, my self-doubt held me back, “I don't have any special skills to share．”
Days turned into weeks, and the talent show drew closer．I couldn't shake the upsetting feeling until one day Emma, one of the most popular girls in my class, came to me while I was helping in the grocery store after class．“How about singing together in the talent show？” She grinned (笑), “I heard you singing a tune, along the way back home．I can't help following you here．” Gosh, I couldn't believe my ears．Emma, with personality and popularity, acknowledged my little talent．Since Emma had the world's prettiest voice, I felt like being favoured by fortune．
“You two The talent show for the food bank？” My mum bent towards us and her face lit up．“A big occasion．” Then a light bulb seemed to go in her head．“Why not practise right now upstairs I bet you'll be a perfect match．” Winking at us, she seemed to know we were thinking alike．
Emma and I embarked on rehearsing (排练) almost every single day after school．We brainstormed, exchanged ideas and rehearsed the scene．As the days rolled by, I was feeling pretty good about our act．But the day before the performance, Emma called that she had an acute stomachache and was not in any shape to perform．

I was completely shocked by the news． Gloomy and desperate, I sat silently in the room for what seemed like ages, unsure of what to do next．Then I started to pace up and down like a caged animal, debating with myself whether or not to go on stage alone．“How can this be possible？” I thought to myself．Fear and anxiety coursed through my veins, and it seemed that all our hard work was in vain．But then the thought of the support and encouragement from Emma and my mum came flooding back to me．It was at the moment that I realised that I couldn't let self-doubt hold me back．Filled with determination, I resolved to proceed with the performance by myself．
Finally came the big moment．As I stepped onto the stage, I could feel my heart thumping wildly in my chest．Glancing around the hall, I took a deep breath and began to sing．Surprisingly, all my worries suddenly disappeared and a wave of confidence washed over me．I was completely immersed in the joy of performing and the audience was spellbound by the passion in my voice．When I finished my song, the whole hall burst into applause．Tears of joy welled up in my eyes as Emma presented a big bunch of flowers to me, and my mum stood near, winking at us．From that day forward, I learned that by overcoming fears and self-doubts, we can make a difference．

38．contributions　[考查名词复数。句意：见上题解析。空处作宾语，表示“贡献”应用名词contribution，其前无限定词，故用其复数形式，表泛指。故填contributions。]
39．to take　[考查非谓语动词。句意：人们希望每年都有一天庆祝普通话，从而鼓励世界各地更多的人学习普通话。表示“鼓励某人做某事”短语为encourage sb．to do sth．。故填to take。]
40．in　[考查介词。句意：随着中国有可能成为世界上最大的经济体，重要的是，更多的国家变得对这一美妙的语言更感兴趣。表示“变得感兴趣”短语为become interested in。故填in。]
41．falls　[考查时态。句意：每年的4月20日是联合国汉语日。根据上文Every year可知应用一般现在时，主语为UN Chinese Language Day，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填falls。]
42．involved　[考查固定短语。句意：参与庆祝活动的一个好方法是参加一个普通话班。表示“涉及，参加”短语为be/ get involved in。故填involved。]
43．that/which　[考查定语从句。句意：参加中国在世界各国设立的众多孔子学院也是一个不错的选择。此处为定语从句修饰先行词 many Confucius Institutes，先行词在从句中作主语，指物，故用关系代词that/which来引导定语从句。故填that/which。]
44．choice　[考查词性转换。句意：见上题解析。空处作表语，表示“选择”应用名词choice，another后跟单数名词。故填choice。]
