I was selected and told that I was talented and that for only$900 I could attend a weekend event which dozens of the most famous modeling agencies from around the world would attend. At 13, my hopes of fame and fortune clouded all judgment and I begged my parents to let me go. We have never been rich, but they saw my enthusiasm and agreed.‎ I imagined being signed by some famous model companies. For months, any boredom or disappointment I faced was pushed aside because I knew I would soon have the chance ‎ to be a real model. I thought I would grace the covers of famous magazines!‎ Of course, I wasn't signed, but what hurt the most was being told that if I grew to about1.75metres I could be a success. I prayed for a growth spurt（冲刺）because I could not imagine giving up my dream. I made an appointment with a local modeling agency and the agent demanded $500 for classes, $500 for a photo shoot, and $300 for other expenses. My parents only agreed after hours and hours of my begging.‎ The agency sent me out on a few auditions, but with every day I didn't receive a call, I grew more depressed. The final straw came in July after I had decided to focus on commercial modeling. There was an open call in New York City. We spent hours driving and another few hours waiting, only to be told that I was too short. I was depressed.‎ Years later, I realized that the trip to New York was good as it made me notice I didn't actually love modeling, just the idea of it. I wanted to be special and I was innocently determined to reach an impossible goal. The experience has made me stronger and that will help me in the future.‎ ‎25.What was the author's attitude toward her dream as a model at a young age?‎ A. Enthusiastic B. Doubtful. C. Indecisive. D. Uncertain.‎ ‎26.What does the underlined word "auditions" in the fourth paragraph most probably mean?‎ A. Audiences. B. Competitions. C. Tryout. D. Classes.‎ ‎27.Why did the author give up her dream to become a model?‎ A. She came to know she shouldn't have been to New York.‎ B. The local modeling agencies always turned her down.‎ C. She realized that modeling was impossible for her.‎ D. Her parents were still strongly against it.‎ ‎28.What does the author think of her struggling to be a model?‎ A. Experience helps one grow. B . It's hard to achieve one's dream.‎ C. Judge everything on your own D. Practice makes perfect.‎ C Grandparents Answer a Call As a third generation native of Brownsville, Texas, Mildred Garza never planned to move away,. Even when her daughter and son asked her to move to San Antonio to help with their children, she politely refused . Only after a year of friendly discussion did Ms Gaf finally say yes. That was four years ago. Today all three generations regard the move as a success, giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities.‎ ‎ No statistics show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer to adult children and grandchildren. Yet there is evidence suggesting that the trend is growing. Even President Obama’s mother-in-law, Marian Robinson, has agreed to leave Chicago and into the White House to help care for her granddaughters. According to a study by grandparents com. 83 percent of the people said Mrs. Robinson’s decision will influence the grandparents in the American family. Two-thirds believe more families will follow the example of Obama’s family.‎ ‎“In the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldn’t get away from home far enough or fast enough to prove we could do it on our own,” says Christine Crosby, publisher of Grand ,a magazine for grandparents .We now realize how important family is and how important it is to be near them, especially when you’re raising children.”‎ Moving is not for everyone. Almost every grandparent wants to be with his or her grandchildren and is willing to make sacrifices, but sometimes it is wiser to say no and visit frequently instead. Having your grandchildren far away is hard, especially knowing your adult child is struggling, but giving up the life you know may be harder.‎ ‎29. Why was Garza’s move a success?‎ A．It strengthened her family ties. B．It improved her living conditions.‎ C．It enabled her to make more friends. D．It helped her know more new places.‎ ‎30.What was the reaction of the public to Mrs. Robinson’s decision?‎ A．17% expressed their support for it. B．Few people responded ‎ sympathetically.‎ C．83% believed it had a bad influence. D．The majority thought it was a trend.‎ ‎31. What did Crosby say about people in the 1960s?‎ A．They were unsure of themselves. B．They were eager to raise more children.‎ C．They wanted to live away from their parents.‎ D．They had little respect for their grandparents.‎ ‎32. What does the author suggest the grandparents do in the last paragraph?‎ ‎ A. Make decisions in the best interests of their own ‎ B. Ask their children to pay more visits to them ‎ C. Sacrifice for their struggling children D. Get to know themselves better D ‎ I am peter Hodes ,a volunteer stem courier. Since March 2012, I've done 89 trips— of those , 51 have been abroad, I have 42 hours to carry stem cells（干细胞）in my little box because I've got two ice packs and that's how long they last. In all, from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor(捐献者) to the time they can be implanted in the patient, we’ve got 72 hours at most, So I am always conscious of time. ‎ ‎ I had one trip last year where I was caught by a hurricane in America. I picked up the stem cells in Providence, Rhode Island, and was meant to fly to Washington then back to London. But when I arrived at the check-in desk at Providence, the lady on the desk said:”Well, I’m really sorry, I’ve got some bad news for you-there are no fights from Washington.”So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said:“In this box are some stem cells that are urgently needed for a patient-please, please, you’ve got to get me back to the United Kingdom.”She just dropped everything. She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for me.re-routed(改道)me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originally scheduled.‎ ‎ For this courier job, you’re consciously aware that in that box you’re got ‎ something that is potentially going to save somebody’s life.‎ ‎33. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “courier” in Paragraph1?‎ A provider B delivery man C collector D medical doctor ‎34. Why does Peter have to complete his trip within 42 hours? A. He cannot stay away from his job too long. B. The donor can only wait for that long. C. The operation needs that much time. D. The ice won't last any longer. 35.

A. To London        B. To  Newark C. To Providence       D. To Washington 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分IO分）‎ Last week when I was reading at home, my younger sister rushed in and told me an old man was lying on the ground in front of our building. I immediately took my first-aid kit and ran downstairs. He was suffering a slight heart attack. And I performed CPR on him. Luckily, an ambulance came soon and he was taken to hospital. Later that day I was told by the hospital what I did helped rescue the old man's life. I was happy to hear that .36 There were many people who wanted to help around the old man then. Yet no one performed first aid on him as they hadn't attended a first-aid course.‎ ‎37 Here are my reasons.‎ You can gain the knowledge, skills and confidence to act in an emergency.
