As she laid her pet on the table, the vet pulled out his stethoscope(听诊器) and listened to the bird’s chest.‎ ‎ After a moment or two, the vet shook his head and sadly said, “I’m sorry, your duck, Cuddles, has passed away.”‎ ‎ The woman was so disappointed and asked, “Are you sure?” “Yes, I am sure. Your duck is dead,” replied the vet.‎ ‎ “How can you be so sure?” she protested. “I mean you haven’t done any testing on him or anything. He might just be in a coma(昏迷) or something.”‎ The vet rolled his eyes, turned around and left the room. He returned a few minutes later with a black dog. As the duck’s owner looked on in amazement, the dog stood on his back legs, put his front paws on the examination table and sniffed(嗅) the duck from top to bottom. He then looked up at the vet with sad eyes and shook his head. The vet patted the dog on the head and took it out of the room.‎ A few minutes later, he returned with a cat. The cat jumped on the table and also carefully sniffed the bird from head to foot. The cat sat back down, shook his head meowed softly and went out of the room.‎ The vet looked at the woman and said, “I’m sorry, but as I said, this is most definitely, 100% certifiably, a dead duck.”‎ The vet turned to his computer, pressed a few keys and produced a bill, which he handed to the woman.‎ The duck’s owner, still in shock, took the bill. “150 dollars!” she shouted. “150 dollars just to tell me my duck is dead!”‎ The vet shrugged, “I’m sorry. If you had just taken my word for it, the bill would have been 20 dollars, but with the Lab Report and the Cat Scan, it’s now 150 dollars.”‎ ‎21. Why did the vet take a dog and a cat into the examination room?‎ ‎ A. To confirm (确认) the duck was dead.‎ B. To give to the woman as pets.‎ ‎ C. To comfort the woman. ‎ ‎ D. To ask them to save the duck’s life.‎ ‎22. How was the woman likely to feel after being told the reason why the bill was 150 dollars?‎ ‎ A. Awkward. B. Angry C. Sad. D. Delighted.‎ ‎23. The passage is a(n) ________.‎ ‎ A. novel B. joke. C. advertisement D. review B When I was in my fourth year of teaching, I was also (and am still) a high school track and field coach(田径教练). One year, I had a student, John, who entered my class when he was a junior. John changed to our school from Greece, and seemed to be interested in sports, so I encouraged him to join our track team. I explained to him that even though he had never taken part in it before, I did believe that he could do well in any event, and I would be willing to coach him at whichever ones interested him. He accepted the offer, and began to work hard at every practice.‎ About a month later, I had found out from other sources that John was a first-class tennis player, winning various junior awards in his home country. I went to him asking, “John, I really appreciate that you came out for the track team, but why didn’t you play tennis instead? It seems that would interest you a lot more, since you’re so good at it.” John answered, “Well, I like tennis, but you told me that you believed in me, and that you thought I could do well in track, so I wanted to try it for that reason.”‎ From then on, I often remember my student’s reply. I told it to a friend and she suggested I write it down to share somewhere with more teachers. No matter how critical(不满的) students can be of themselves, I’ve found that a simple “I trust that you can do it!” can go a long way!‎ ‎24. According to Paragraph 1, what does the author seem to think more about? ‎ ‎ A. John’s PE marks B. John’s self-confidence ‎ C. John’s interest in sports D. John’s state of health ‎25. Why did John take part in the track team?‎ ‎ A. He had been an excellent runner. B. He was encouraged by his teacher.‎ ‎ C. He liked running more than tennis. D. He had no tennis coach to train him.‎ ‎26. What’s the purpose of this passage?‎ ‎ A. to build a close teacher-student relationship ‎ B. to introduce a new way of sports training ‎ C. to explain the value of sports and games ‎ D. to show the importance of encouragement ‎27. Who is the passage mainly written for?‎ ‎ A. teachers B. parents C. students D. players C ‎ The morning after an evening struggle to care for my three-year-old daughter, I couldn’t wait to get her to school. I, as a mother, was tired from the anger and her inability to communicate because of her slowed language development.‎ As I accompanied her into the car, I felt desperate. Nothing was right with our world. She’d been born around the same time when the nation was witnessing the birth of another Great Recession. My job and my house had been victims. Then this happened. My child’s language delay was identified, but doctors struggled to properly help her, I felt like we both needed to be rescued.‎ I returned that afternoon as disenchanted with the little girl I loved as when I left. Walking slowly toward the school’s playground gate, I found her preschool teacher racing to greet me.‎ ‎“You should have seen her today!” His breathy words were supported by excitement. I didn’t interrupt. “See that climber. ” He pointed to a wooden piece of playground equipment that looked like a rock wall. I nodded. “Well, every day since she started school, she’s tried and failed to make it to the top. ” He took a breath. “And today she did it!”‎ He expressed his joy just as he’d witnessed her conquering Mount Everest! “She cheered and celebrated! I wish I’d recorded it!” His words comforted me. My daughter had conquered her mountain.‎ As she ran toward me, I recognized something I hadn’t before. I saw her perseverance(毅力). I saw her strength. I saw a Hero.‎ Everyday greatness celebrates ordinary people who do unusual things in big and small ways, showing courage, kindness, love and selflessness. We encourage you to click these brief accounts and invite you to share your own story.‎ ‎28. Why did the author rush her daughter to school?‎ A. She was busy with her work as a doctor. B.

If you have every thought of becoming a blood donor, just register to do it. And you should never worry about the donation.‎ Just under a pint (around 470ml) of blood is taken at one sitting. This amount is no more than 13 percent of your total blood volume, and is quickly replaced by your body.‎ It may come as a surprise, but whole blood is only rarely used. Different blood components are used to treat a range of conditions. None goes to waste. Red blood cells are frequently used to replace heavy blood loss after an accident, surgery or childbirth. White blood cells and antibodies(抗体)are used to help people fight infections if their immune system doesn’t appear to be responding to antibiotics(抗生素). Plasma(血浆)，the straw-coloured fluid which carries the blood cells and contains proteins, are used to treat burned patients.‎ First-time donors should be aged between 17 and 65, weigh at least 50kg and be in good health. If you have donated before, you can start being a donor again up to your 70th birthday.‎ Although most people are able to give blood, some people who pose health risks or are at a higher risk of having come into contact with an infectious disease are no tasked to be donors. Pregnant women or those who have had a baby in the last 9 months should not donate blood.‎ Blood has a very short shelf life. Some blood components can be kept longer than others, for instance red blood cells will keep for 35 days but platelets(血小板)for only five. Remember, you should wait at least 16 weeks before donating blood again.‎ ‎32. What component of blood is used to treat burned patients?_____________‎ A. Plasma B. Red blood cell C. Antibody D. White blood cell ‎33. We can learn from the passage that .‎ A. whole blood is most widely used in hospital B. platelets can be kept for more than 10 days C. people can donate their blood four times a year D. people can donate at most 470 ml of blood each time ‎34. Who can donate their blood?______________‎ A. A teenager who is studying in a primary school B. A mother who is about to give birth to a new baby C. An adult who smokes and drinks from time to time D. A man just coming back for a place suffering from malaria（疟疾）‎ ‎35. What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?‎ A. To teach people how to be a blood donor B. To give people the knowledge of blood donation C. To advise people to benefit from blood donation D. To remind people of the importance of blood donation 第二节 七选五 (共5小题,每小题3分,满分15分)‎ 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选项。‎ Why play sports? You might say “to get exercise” and you’d be right.

We could never afford a 52 , so we played cards, sang, ate, read and talked 53 we finally fell uncomfortably asleep in the straight-backed seats.‎ My idea that trains are 54 may come from the fact that my husband and I took the train on our honeymoon(蜜月假期), spending extra money to eat in the dining car, and 55 the window as the desert scenery slid past.‎ Now, when I make a trip, I always fly or drive, and 56 are not a very important part of my life. 57 , every time I hear the train whistle faraway on a quiet night, I can always feel the sudden 58 in my heart to pack my bags and jump on board, entering a 59 world of motions(移动), sounds, sights and experience which just aren’t 60 in the dull environment of an airplane. ‎ ‎41.
