Aunt Fannie was Blueberry Jam Woman. Of course she wasn’t really my aunt, and. out of fear, I never called that to her face. The name always made my father chuckle(轻笑)and my mother look sternly(严厉地)at both of us — at me for being disrespectful, and at my father for encouraging my bad behavior. I enjoyed both reactions, so I looked for every opportunity to work for the name into conversation.
As a young woman, my mother had worked in the kitchen of a large Victorian farm house owned by Fannie Cratty. Fannie was the last of the Cratty line; she had never married, and had no living heirs(继承人). My father once told me that it was because she was too mean to share her family wealth or pass it on. Aunt Fannie was noted for her jam, and for never sharing the recipe with another living soul. Even though my mother knew it by heart, as long as Aunt Fannie was alive, she never made the jam without Miss Cratty in our kitchen to direct the process and preserve the secret.
One year, after I had been particularly helpful with the jam-making process. Aunt Fannie gave me a quarter and then made me promise I would never spend it. 揌old onto this quarter, she said, 揳nd some day you will be rich. I still have my first very quarter. It had obviously worked for her, so I put that 1938 quarter in a small box. put it in my dresser drawer, and waited to become rich.
I now have the blueberry-jam recipe and the quarter from Aunt Fannie. Neither has significantly contributed to my wealth, but I keep them to remind myself to hold onto the valuable things in life. Money can make you feel rich for a while, but it is your relationships, and your memories of time spent with friends and family, that truly leave you wealthy. And that is a fortune that anyone can build.
24. Where did the 揻ear mentioned in the first paragraph come from?
A. That year抯 blueberry harvest had been poor.
B. Aunt Fannie was too old to keep making jam.
C. The author抯 mother couldn抰 help Aunt Fannie harvest the blueberries.
D. The author knew it was impolite to call Aunt Fannie Blueberry Jam Woman.
25. From the second paragraph we learn that ________.
A.the author often helped Aunt Fannie make jam
B. Aunt Fannie was willing to share her recipe
C.Aunt Fannie had no children
D. the author抯 mother always made the jam alone
26. What did the author抯 mother feel towards Aunt Fannie?
A. Disgusted. B. Affectionate. C. Surprised D. Disappointed.
27. What does the author try to tell us?
A. To make new friends easily.
B. Not to put a price on generosity.
C. To treasure the time spent with family and friends.
D. Not to think of kindness as a burden.
C
Time and how we experience it have always puzzled us. Physicists have created fascinating theories, but their time is measured by a pendulum(钟摆)and is not psychological time, which leaps with little regard to the clock or calendar. As someone who understood the distinction observed, “When you sit with a nice girl for two hours it seems like a minute, but when you sit on a hot stove, a minute seems like two hours.
Psychologists have long noticed that larger units of time, such as months and years, fly on swifter wings as we age. They also note that the more time is structured with schedules and appointments, the more rapidly it seems to pass. For example, a day at the office flies compared with a day at the beach.
Expectation and familiarity also make time seem to flow more rapidly. Almost all of us have had the experience of driving somewhere we抳e never been before. Surrounded by unfamiliar scenery, with no real idea of when we抣l arrive, we experience the trip as lasting a long time. But the return trip, although exactly as long, seems to take far less time. The novelty of the outward journey has become routine.
When days become as identical as beads(小珠子)on a string, they mix together, and even months become a single day. To counter this, try to find ways to interrupt the structure of your day — to stop time, so to speak.
Learning something new is one of the ways to slow the passage of time. One of the reasons the days of our youth seems to be full and long is that these are the days of learning and discovery. For many of us learning ends when we leave school, but this doesn抰 have to be.
28. What is the underlined sentence in paragraph 1 used to show?
A.Physical time is different from psychological time.
B. Time should not be measured by a pendulum.
C. Psychological time is quite puzzling.
D. Physical theory has nothing to do with the true sense of time.
29. Why do units of time fly faster as we grow older?
A. Our sense of time changes.
B. We spend less time at the beach.
C. Time is structured with too many appointments.
D. More time is structured and scheduled.
30. What does 搉ovelty in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Excitement. B. Unfamiliarity. C. Imagination. D. Amusement.
31. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To give various explanations about time.
B.To show the differences of two kinds of time.
C. To describe how we experience time physically.
D. To explain why time flies and how to slow it down.
D
Do you still remember the scene in the famous movie Titanic, directed by Cameron, where Jack was frozen to death in the icy cold water so that Rose could survive on the floating door alone? It broke many people抯 heart.
Two decades later, people are still asking the question, 搘asn抰 there enough room on the door for both of them?
Cameron once responded by saying it wasn’t a question of room, but buoyancy(浮力) — if both of them had tried to stay on the raft, he argued, the whole thing would sink.
But several guys from “Myth busters”, an Australian-American science entertainment television program, decided to test the theory themselves. They discovered that if Rose had took off her life jacket to the bottom of the raft, there would have been enough buoyancy to keep both of them afloat.
When they presented their findings to Cameron, the director insisted that Jack couldn抰 be saved.
揟he answer is very simple, 擟ameron said. 揃ecause it says on page 147 of the script that Jack dies. To Cameron, it was an artistic choice to have the beloved character of millions, Jack drown into the cold sea. Jack had to die because Cameron thought it would be best if we did.
揑t was an artistic choice, the thing was just big enough to hold her, and not big enough to hold him, 擟ameron said. 揑 think it抯 all kind of silly, really, that we抮e having this discussion 20 years later. But it does show that the film was effective in making Jack so endearing to the audience that it hurts them to see him die. The film is about death and separation; he had to die.
Since Jack was doomed to die, Cameron said, it could have happened in a variety of different ways. It抯 not about the door not being big enough: that抯 just a practical method for his death. 揥hether it was that, or whether a chimney fell on him, he was going down, 擟ameron said. 揑t抯 called art: things happen for artistic reasons, not for physics reasons.
32. What do we know about the character Jack according to the text?
A. He intended to kill himself.
B. He sacrificed himself to save Rose.
C. He didn抰 have money to buy ticket.
D. He lacked basic knowledge of physics.
33. According to Cameron, why did the audience argue about Jack抯 death for 20 years?
A. They are fragile people. B. They don抰 like the movie.
C. They are crazy about physics. D. They love the character Jack
34. Why was a chimney mentioned in the last paragraph?
A. To introduce the structure of the ship.
B. To show the original plan of the movie.
C. To explain the unchangeable fate of Jack.
D. To present the missing part of the movie.
35. What is best title of the text?
A. Jack in Titanic Must Die. B. Big Enough for Both.
C. Cameron is Wrong. D. Jack could Survive.

Top tips for the Flu Season
It’s coming. 36 On the subway every time someone coughs, I look up to see if I can move a little further. As I exit the train, I immediately reach for hand wash to remove any of the dirt on my hands. The flu season is here, and I take it seriously.
If you are young and healthy, it抯 most likely that you will just feel uncomfortable for a week or two, and miss some work or study. If you are elderly, having medical problems, or are a young child, you may not be so lucky. Each year more than 200, 000 people are staying in hospital due to the illness. 37
The best way to prevent the flu is to get vaccinated. You may have heard about a new study on flu vaccines, and it found that the flu vaccine didn抰 work as well as we thought or would like. 38 In adults, the vaccine is 59 protective on average. For children the story is better. Clearly, we need better vaccines but it抯 still a really good idea to get vaccinated.
39 You may have an arm pain or a little fever, but the injection does not contain a live virus and cannot give you the flu. If you got the flu shot last year, do you need it this year? It isn’t clear how long protection lasts and if the vaccine protects against different flus for only one year.
Finally, here is some advice about what to do if you get the flu.
●Call your doctor early if you have the symptoms.
● 40 That will reduce the number of people you give this to.
●Cover your coughs and sneezes.
●Keep your hands clean. Use soap and water or hand wash frequently, especially after coughing or sneezing.
●Drink plenty of water.
Best wishes for a happy flu season.
A. However, it still offers considerable protection.
B. It has already attracted worldwide attention.
C. Depending on the year, between 3, 000 and 49, 000 people die.
D. Stay at home until your fever has been gone for at least 24 hours.
E. I can feel it in the air.
F. Can the flu shot give you the flu?
G. Keep in touch with your family as much as possible.

短文改错
①在countryside 前面加the,"go to the countryside"意为"去乡下"。
②根据前一句中的时间状语"During my last winter holiday"和下文内容可知,本文讲述作者去年寒假的故事。所以此处应用一般过去时,故把find改为found。
③考查限定词。another"又一,再一"后跟可数名词单数,可数名词复数前用other"其他的,别的",故把another改为other。
④考查副词。come here"来这儿", go there"去那儿";此处指去那儿,因此应用there。
⑤考查名词的单复数。短语dozens of 之后应接可数名词复数,而此处chicken为可数名词"小鸡",故把chicken改为chickens。chicken作鸡肉讲是不可数名词。
⑥考查定语从句。本句中定语从句的先行词是pond,在从句中作地点状语,故应在which前加in或把which改为where。
⑦sell改为selling.
⑧考查形容词。此处felt是系动词,应跟形容词作表语,故把happily改为happy。
⑨ 删除for。惯用语every two years意为"每隔两年",其前不用介词,故介词for多余。
⑩考查连词。根据句意可知,此处表示顺承关系,故把but改为and。
