That’s because he is completely blind.‎ When Derek was born, over 24 years ago, he got his name from - 23 - / 23‎ ‎ Derek Ho, the first Hawaiian surfing world champion. A surfing enthusiast himself, Ernesto dreamed that his son would share the talent(才干) of his uncle, a professional surfer. Unfortunately, Derek was born completely blind, but this didn’t stop his family from believing that he could do anything he wanted, even if that meant becoming a surfer.‎ At age 2, Derek received a bodyboard and the beaches of Guarapari, Brazil, became his backyard. He was always comfortable in the water and surfing was in his blood, but he didn’t actually try riding a wave until he turned 17, when his father bought him a surfboard. His father taught him the basics and encouraged him to keep practicing, but after successfully standing up on the surfboard, Derek knew he needed to become much better if he was going to achieve Ernesto’s dream and become a professional surfer. So he joined the Praia do Morro surf school, where he studied under coach Fabio Maru.‎ Standing up on a surfboard and conquering small waves is one thing, while gathering the courage to take on Hawii’s board-breaking Pipeline is another. But that’s exactly what Derek Rabelo set out to do just months after learning how to surf. Everyone told him it was too dangerous, but he felt he could do it, and he did, earning the praise of famous professional surfers - 23 - / 23‎ ‎ like Keely Slater and Mick fanning. Now 24, Rabelo has been surfing the Pipeline every winter since.‎ ‎24.What does the first paragraph tell us?‎ A.Derek Rabelo is the only blind professional surfer to conquer Hawaii’s big wave break.‎ B.Nobody has ever conquered Hawaii’s big wave break.‎ C.Derek Rabelo dreams to conquer Hawaii’s big wave break.‎ D.Good eyesight is necessary for becoming good surfers.‎ ‎25.How did Ernesto behave after Derek was born?‎ A.He started his own interest in surfing. ‎ B.He named him after his uncle.‎ C.He sent him to a surfing champion.‎ D.He never lost confidence in him.‎ ‎26.After Derek was able to stand up on the surfboard, he _________.‎ A.began to try riding a wave B.was no longer afraid of water C.realized he still had a long way to go D.knew his father’s dream had come true ‎27.Which of the following words can best describe Derek according to the last paragraph?‎ A.Skillful but proud. B.Brave and - 23 - / 23‎ ‎ confident.‎ C.Courageous but stubborn. D.Thoughtful and modest.‎ C Cities are likely to be affected by overheating, thanks to something called the urban heat island effect. Cities tend to be short of trees, which provide shade, and they are covered with black pavement, which absorbs heat from the sun. Think of how it feels to wear a dark shirt versus a white shirt on a sunny day. A black shirt absorbs light, heating you up. But a white shirt reflects light, keeping you cool.‎ The average temperature in a city of a million or more people can be more than 5 degrees F hotter than surrounding areas. That extra 5 degrees can turn a hot day from uncomfortable to deadly. As temperatures rise, cities will be an especially dangerous place to be during a heat wave. To protect public health, city officials are going to make the city cooler.‎ As part of that effort, Los Angeles is coating its roads in CoolSeal, a gray paint that keeps streets and parking lots（分摊）10 degrees cooler than black asphalt (沥青). It will help Angelinos save money during the summer, when air conditioning sends power bills soaring. And it will save lives by lowering - 23 - / 23‎ ‎ temperatures and improving air quality. Hot weather worsens air pollution by turning car exhaust （尾气）into smog（烟雾）, which can make life miserable for people with asthma (哮喘) and other breathing problems.‎ Of course, LA will have to do more than paint over a few streets to cool off the city. Angelinos will also need to plant more trees and apply white paint to rooftops-at least those not already covered in solar panels. While LA is a pioneer of reflective streets, other cities, like New York, are already experimenting with reflective roofs or, like Melbourne, lowering the temperature by planting trees. LA is hardly alone in its effort to stay cool.‎ ‎“This is an urgent challenge, and it’s much bigger than one person,” said Mayor Garcetti in a recent statement. “Climate change is a fact of life that people in Los Angeles and cities around the world live with every day.”‎ ‎28.Which of the following contributes to the urban heat island effect?‎ A.Furnishing every house with air conditioners.‎ B.Covering the streets with white paint.‎ C.Applying reflective paint to rooftops.‎ D.Planting more trees in the streets. ‎ - 23 - / 23‎ ‎29.What should the city officials emphasize during hot summer?‎ A.When to cut off the electricity supply.‎ B.Where to wear a white shirt.‎ C.Why to coat roads with black paint.‎ D.How to make the city cooler.‎ ‎30.What benefit can people gain from the use of CoolSeal?‎ A.Increasing the indoor activities.‎ B.Promoting the sale of air conditioners.‎ C.Making life easier and more comfortable.‎ D.Reducing the number of cold days.‎ ‎31.What’s the main idea of the passage?‎ A.L.A. is painting its streets white to keep the city cool.‎ B.L.A. calls on people to fight against global warming.‎ C.More and more countries begin to plant trees in the streets.‎ D.L.A. adopted many approaches to fight against the heat.‎ D The pursuit of happiness can be a lifelong search for some – but researchers believe they may have found a key factor in feeling a greater overall sense of well-being.‎ Nottingham Trent University researchers found that the more an individual identified with a particular group, such as family, in their local community or through a hobby, the happier they - 23 - / 23‎ ‎ were with their life.‎ ‎“Our findings suggest that thinking more about one’s group life could have significant benefits for an overall sense of well-being,” said Dr. Juliet Wakefield, a psychologist at Nottingham Trent University.‎ ‎“We tend to identify with groups that share our values, interests and life priorities(优先), as well as those that support us in times of crisis, and we can see how this would be linked to happiness. Our work taps into (发掘) knowledge that is deep within all of us, but we often forget due to the fast-paced and achievement-focused nature of modern life – to be your best self, you are likely to require the support of others.”‎ They studied how 4,000 participants felt connected to certain groups, and then measured the influence this had upon their levels of happiness. It’s important to note that identifying with a group isn’t the same as membership, though. You can be a member of a group with which you feel no connection at all. It’s that subjective（主观的） sense of belonging that’s crucial(决定性的) for happiness.‎ Health care professionals should encourage people to join groups that they are interested in, or which promote their values and ideals, as well as advising people to maintain association - 23 - / 23‎ ‎ with groups they already belong to. Simple social interventions (干预) such as this could in turn help to reduce care expense and prevent future ill health.‎ ‎32.According to the text, who are much happier?‎ ‎ A. Individuals who have happy families.‎ ‎ B.Individuals who have a good many hobbies.‎ ‎ C.People who feel a strong sense of belonging to a group. ‎ ‎ D.People who gain membership of many social groups.‎ ‎33.What do people tend to forget in Juliet’s view?‎ ‎ A.They live a busy and stressful life.‎ ‎ B.They need others’ help for self-improvement. ‎ ‎ C.Happiness is of the same importance as work.‎ ‎ D.They should connect with like-minded people.‎ ‎34.What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to?‎ A.Promotion of people’s values and interests. ‎ B.Reduction of health care expenses. ‎ C.Social involvement with certain groups.‎ D.Health care experts’ encouragement and advice. ‎ ‎35.What may be the best title for the passage?‎ ‎ A.The Nature of Happiness. B.The Secret to Happiness. ‎ - 23 - / 23‎ ‎ C.The Search for Happiness. D.The Attitude to Happiness. ‎ 第一节 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。‎ Eggs have been an important aspect of cultural celebrations dating back thousands of years, long before Easter was ever a holiday. It's believed that they were used as symbols of new life.‎ In Roman times eggs were expensive. 36 But their first association with Easter is still a mystery.‎ Some traditions believe that eggs were eaten at the first meal after the Resurrection(复活). ‎ ‎ 37 In the Eastern Orthodox churches, the hard shell(壳）of the egg represents the stone walls of Jesus' tomb, with the egg itself representing the new life of the Resurrection.‎ ‎ 38 Many countries, especially in eastern Europe, celebrate Easter with dyed eggs,carved wooden eggs,or richly painted eggs. Lots of the patterns have symbolic meaning,and some eggs are roughly painted with religious or cultural scenes.‎ Joseph Fry created the first chocolate Easter egg in 1873.These were considered an Expensive gift,because they were made by hand from special chocolate,which was hugely expensive. ___39_ ‎ - 23 - / 23‎ ‎ But the most famous Easter eggs in the world were never intended to be eaten. In1885, Tsar Alexander III of Russia ordered the jeweler Faberge to make an egg as an Easter gift for his wife. Worth $2.93 million in today's money, this must surely be the most expensive egg.‎ ‎ There are many traditions associated with Easter. And it's easy to use eggs to celebrate Easter for yourself. 40 Use eggs for some seasonal Easter cooking or have a go at making eco-friendly eggs.You'll be carrying on a tradition that dates back for centuries.‎ A.Try your hand at an Easter egg hunt.‎ B.Then when did decorated eggs come into being?‎ C.Decorated eggs were first introduced in the 13th century.‎ D. Eggs were viewed as a way of confirming Jesus‘ Resurrection .‎ E.Only the wealthy and powerful could afford to serve eggs at dinner.‎ F.Therefore,only years later did people like the taste of this chocolate Easter eggs.‎ G.It wasn't until the 1950s that more affordable chocolate eggs for children were introduced.‎ 第二部分 完形填空（共20小题，每题1.5分，共30分）‎ - 23 - / 23‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ I was having my dinner at McDonald’s one evening when an old couple slowly walked in.
