When he started his journey, he did not know that it was the beginning of almost 40years of accidents and near death experiences.‎ During the journey, the train fell into an icy river, killing 12 passengers. Chevalier managed to swim back to the river bank. He only had a broken leg.‎ Two years later, Chevalier was on a plane from Paris to Moscow when a door suddenly opened and he fell out. A few minutes later, the plane crashed; 27 people were killed. Chevalier was so lucky that he landed in a haystack(干草堆).‎ A few years later, he was hit by a bus, but again had no serious injuries. Then a year after that, he was driving on a mountain road when he saw a truck coming straight at him. He drove the car off the road, jumped out, landed in a tree--and watched his car fall 100 meters down the mountain.‎ ‎"There are two ways you can look at it," Chevalier said, "I' m either the world' s unluckiest man, or the world' s luckiest." When a reporter asked Chevalier what he thought, he chose the "luckiest" one.‎ Two years ago, aged 71, Chevalier bought his first lottery ticket(彩票) in 50 years and won more than 2 million. After this, a TV company in America said they wanted him to make an advertisement. At first he accepted, but then he changed his mind. Chevalier said he would not fly to Los Angeles for the filming, because he did not want to push his luck. Who knows? If he had accepted the invitation, maybe he would have had another accident. But Mr. Chevalier is a lucky man. If he had had another accident, he probably would have survived that too!‎ ‎24. In the train accident many years ago, Chevalier ________.‎ A. didn't get injured at all B. was finally pulled out of the river C. was the only passenger to survive D. was lucky enough to be alive ‎25. Why did Chevalier refuse to make the advertisement?‎ A. Because he had won f 2 million. B. Because he didn't want to risk his life.‎ C. Because he didn't want to leave home. D. Because he didn't like the TV company.‎ ‎26. The text mainly talks about ________.‎ A. a man with nine lives B. the unluckiest man in the world C. a man who traveled around the world D. a man who earned £2 million in a lottery ‎27.All the experiences the man had are true except ________.‎ A.a train accident B.an air crash C.shipwreck D.traffic accident C ‎ Conventional wisdom says that hardship can make us old before our time. In fact, a new study suggests that violence not only leaves long-term scars on children's bodies, but also changes their DNA, causing changes that equal to seven to ten years of premature aging (提前衰老).‎ ‎“Scientists measured this by studying the ends of children' s ‎ chromosomes(染色体), called telomeres.” says Idan Shalev, lead author of a study published in Molecular Psychiatry.‎ Telomeres are special DNA sequences (序列)which prevent the DNA in chromosomes from separating. They get shorter each time a cell divides, until a cell cannot divide any more and dies.‎ Several factors have been found to shorten telomeres including smoking, radiation (辐射) and psychological stress, such as being treated badly when young, and taking care of someone who is permanently ill.‎ In the study, researchers examined whether exposure to(暴露于) violence could make children' s telomeres shorten faster than normal. They interviewed the mothers of 236 children at the ages of 5, 7 and 10, asking whether the children had been exposed to violence between the mother and her partner, having been treated badly in a physical way by an adult, or bullying. Researchers measured the children's telomeres— in cells from their cheeks—at the ages of 5 and 10.‎ Telomeres shortened more quickly in children exposed to two or more types of violence, says Shalev. Unless such a pattern changes, the study suggests these children could be expected to develop diseases related to aging, such as heart attacks or memory loss, seven to ten years earlier than children of the same age.‎ Shalev says there is hope for these children. His study found that in some cases, telomeres can lengthen. “Better nutrition,exercise and stress reduction are three things that may be able to lengthen telomeres,” he says.‎ ‎28. The new study found that ________.‎ A. hardship has a long-term effect on a child's mind ‎ B. violence leaves scars on a child's mind C. hardship can change a child's DNA ‎ D. violence can speed up a child's aging ‎ ‎29. According to the passage, telomeres ________.‎ A. are at the ends of people's chromosomes B. can help prevent DNA from separating C. can make a cell die quickly D. become shorter before they die ‎30. What can we learn from the passage?‎ A. Violence can cause quick cell division in children’s body.‎ B. Children at the ages of 5 to 10 are more likely to be exposed to violence.‎ C. Being treated badly will make a child's telomeres shorten faster.‎ D. Children who have shorter telomeres may have a heart attack earlier.‎ ‎31. What is the best title for the passage?‎ A. Violence Aging Children’s DNA. B. Children’s Changing DNA Patterns C. Violence and Telomeres D. The Function of Telomeres D Scores on English tests are very important to students around the world. In order to make sure that they do their best, both students and teachers should stay informed of how these tests are changing. Clive Roberts, a director at ELS Educational Services, says the tests are ‎ changing greatly in response to the global growth in the use of English as a common language among people with different native languages. He says, " English is one of the keys now to international student mobility. So, for that reason, a lot of new tests are being developed; old tests are being revamped to meet the needs of universities and employers worldwide."‎ Mr. Roberts says several parts of standardized tests have changed recently. Now, many tests are given on computers. And, he says, tests measure all four skills of language learning: reading, listening, speaking and writing. Computer testing will reduce the length of time required for testing, because the tests adjust to the test-taker's ability. These computer adaptive tests also increase accuracy in scoring. Computer-adaptive tests change depending on the test-taker's responses. They can beçome more or less difficult during the testing session. For this reason, the set of correct answers will be different for each test-taker.‎ Another change to language testing relates to cultural sensitivity. Mr. Roberts says test development companies are now hiring people with intercultural communication backgrounds. The companies want to make sure the test does not upset test takers. Having negative feelings may affect a student's performance on the test.‎ The tests have also become more proficiency - oriented. The items are being designed in such a way that they test real-world proficiency and not simply sort of an artificial environment or a specific set of skills that are taught in a classroom. So a lot of authentic texts, and a lot of authentic listening passages are being used.‎ In addition, changes to the tests will encourage schools to teach their students to use English for everyday life and study.‎ ‎32. What does the writer intend to do in Paragraph 1?‎ A. Introduce the topic of the text.‎ ‎ B. Emphasize the importance of English test scores.‎ C. Talk about the changed tests. D. Show his/her concern about language learning.‎ ‎33. Which of the following may replace the underlined word" revamped" in Paragraph 2?‎ A. increased B. improved C. simplified D. saved ‎ 34. Which of the following is NOT a change of the English test? A. Time-saving. B. Computer-assisted. ‎ ‎ C. Inflexibility. D. Real-world proficiency. ‎ ‎35. People with intercultural communication backgrounds are employed ________.‎ A. to take the test themselves first B. to evaluate the quality of the test ‎ C. to ensure the test won't be culturally offensive D. to tell the intercultural differences arising from the test 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10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。‎ Apologizing the Right Way to a Friend ‎    Why are apologies so difficult? Saying you are sorry can be one of the most difficult things you do. But we all make mistakes, so you'll probably have an occasion when you need to apologize.‎ ‎    Perhaps you had a big blow up and realized later you reacted poorly.36____ Whatever the reason,apologizing can help you both heal and move on from the situation.‎ ‎   37________.First, you acknowledge that you did something wrong. With an apology,you take responsibility for your actions,which allows your friend to forgive you. Second,an apology gives you sincerity as a friend.38________,but that doesn’ t mean you still shouldn’ t apologize.‎ ‎    Now, what are elements of a proper apology? 39________ ,depending on what the offense was,where it was done, and who you are apologizing to.  In general, a good apology should include the following: a request for their attention,an acknowledgment of what happened,sincerity in admitting you did something wrong and the words. "I'm sorry" or “I apologize."‎ ‎    Here are things never to say when apologizing. Note that the art of apologizing involves taking responsibility. Never apologize as a way to “shut someone up” when they are saying you hurt their feelings and you don’t think you did. 40________, you should talk things through with your friend until you see why they are hurt or how you came across. You'll really need to self-reflect so you can see things from your friend' s point of view.‎ A. When you make your apology in person B. If you really believe you did nothing wrong C. Apologies benefit friendships in a variety of ways D. The way you apologize is going to be slightly different ‎ E. Apologizing the right way,however, may take a little practice F. Or maybe you just didn’t show support when you needed to G.
