She had a good voice and enjoyed singing, except that some of her high tones sound like a gate that had forgotten to oil. Mrs. Janes knew her weakness well, and took every chance she could find to practise these high notes. As she lived in a small house, where she could not practise without disturbing the rest of the family, she usually went for long walks along the country roads whenever she had time and practised her high notes there. Whenever she heard a car or a person coming along the road, she stopped and waited until she could no longer be heard before she started practicing again, because she was a shy person. ‎ One afternoon, a fast, opened car came up behind her so silently and so fast that she didn’t hear it until it was only a few yards from her. She was singing some of her highest and most difficult tones at that time and as the car passed; she saw an anxious expression came over the driver’s face. He stopped his car suddenly, jumped out and began to examine all his tyres carefully. ‎ Mrs. Janes didn’t dare to tell him what the noise he had heard really was, so ‎ he got back into the car and drove off. ‎ ‎21. How did Mrs. Janes sing? ‎ A. She was a good singer, but she could not sing the high tones well. ‎ B. She enjoyed singing, but she had a terrible voice. ‎ C. She sang well, but she didn’t practise singing hard. ‎ D. She sang terribly, and she was no singer at all. ‎ ‎22. Why did she go for long walks along the country roads? ‎ A. Because she enjoyed the country’s fresh air. ‎ B. Because she was afraid to practise the high tones. ‎ C. Because she lived in a small house far away. ‎ D. Because she was afraid to disturb the rest of the family. ‎ ‎23. Why did the driver stop his car suddenly and jump out of it? ‎ A. Because he wondered what had happened to Mrs. Janes. ‎ B. Because he was moved by the pretty voice of Mrs. Janes. ‎ C. Because he supposed something must have gone wrong with his car. ‎ D. Because he was frightened by the terrible voice of Mrs. Janes. ‎ ‎24. Where did the noise come from? ‎ A. From the small house. B. From the engine. ‎ C. From the tyres. D. From Mrs. Janes’ voice. ‎ B Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.‎ However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t put in.‎ This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain ‎ and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.‎ When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.‎ Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any rewards. Consistent, hard work won’t guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.‎ ‎25. Paragraph 1 mainly talks about ________.‎ ‎ A. the meaning of success B. the reasons for success ‎ ‎ C. the standards of success D. the importance of success ‎26. In Paragraph 2, the underlined word “that” refers to ______.‎ ‎ A. being good at something B. succeeding in life ‎ C. putting in more time D. setting a practical goal ‎27. What can we infer from Paragraph 4?‎ ‎ A. Successful people like to show their great skills.‎ ‎ B. People need to achieve success at the cost of life.‎ ‎ C. People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.‎ ‎ D. It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.‎ ‎28. What is the main theme of the passage?‎ ‎ A. Having a goal is vital to success.‎ ‎ B. One cannot succeed without time and practice. ‎ ‎ C. Being good is different from being great.‎ ‎ D. Luck, talent and family help to achieve success.‎ C ‎ A new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on exams than those who use laptops(笔记本电脑).‎ ‎ Students are increasingly using laptops for note-taking because of speed and legibility(清晰度).But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught.‎ Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes "mindlessly" by taking down word for word what the professors said.‎ ‎ In the first experiment, students were given either a laptop or pen and paper .They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual note-taking skills. Thirty minutes after the talk , they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts.‎ ‎ The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand. However, the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts. Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts.‎ ‎ The researchers' report said, "While more notes are beneficial, if the notes are taken mindlessly, as is more likely the case on a laptop, the benefit disappears."‎ In another experiment aimed at testing long-term memory, students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture. This time, the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exam.‎ These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding, but that they also lead to superior revision in the future.‎ ‎29. More and more students favor laptops for note-taking because they can .‎ ‎ A. write more notes B. digest concepts better ‎ C. get higher scores D. understand lectures better ‎30. While taking notes, laptop users tend to be .‎ ‎ A. skillful B. mindless C. thoughtful D. tireless ‎31. The author of the passage aims to .‎ A. examine the importance of long-term memory B. stress the benefit of taking notes by hand C. explain the process of taking notes D. promote the use of laptops ‎32. The passage is likely to appear in .‎ A. a newspaper advertisement B. a computer textbook C. a science magazine D. a finance report D Metro Pocket Guide Metrorail(地铁)‎ Each passenger needs a farecard to enter and go out.
