The old man’s beard was glazed by winter’s frost while he waited for a ride across the river. The wait seemed endless. His body became numb and stiff from the frigid north wind. 　　It was long before he heard the faint, steady rhythm of hooves (马蹄) along the frozen path. Anxiously watching several horsemen coming up, he let the first one pass by without any effort to get his attention, then another passed by, and another. Finally, the last rider drew near where the old man sat like a snow statue when old man caught his eyes and said, “Sir, would you mind giving an old man a ride to the other side?” 　　Stopping his horse, the rider replied, “Sure! Jump aboard.” Seeing the old man unable to lift his half-frozen body from the ground, the horseman got down to help him. The horseman took him not just across the river, but to his destination just a few miles away. 　　As they approached the tiny but cozy cottage, the horseman’s curiosity caused him to inquire, “Sir, I noticed you let several other riders pass by without making an effort to secure a ride. Then I came up and you immediately asked me for a ride. I am curious why, on such a bitter night, you would wait and ask the last rider. What if I had refused and left you here?” 　　The old man looked the rider straight in the eyes and replied, “I reckon I know people pretty good. I looked into the eyes of the other riders and immediately found no concern for my situation. It would have been useless even to ask them for a ride. But when I looked into your eyes, your gentle spirit would welcome the opportunity to give me assistance in my time of need.” 　　Those heart-warming comments touched the horseman deeply. “I’m so grateful for what you have said,” he told the old man. “May I never get too busy in my own affairs that I fail to respond to the needs of others with kindness and compassion.” With that, Thomas Jefferson turned his horse around and made his way back to the White House. 24．Why didn’t the old man ask the previous riders for a ride? A. Because he assumed they had no concern for him. B. Because his efforts failed to get their attention. C. Because he was waiting for the last rider. D. Because he was too numb to lift his half-frozen body. 25．What caused the last rider to stop and help the old man? A. the old man’s poor situation B. the old man’s warm ‎ comments C. his own affairs D. kindness and sympathy 26．What do you know about the old man? A. He gave the last rider an opportunity to help. B. He lived in a cozy cottage a few miles away. C. He recognized the president at first sight. D. He judged people by looking into their eyes. 27．Which can be the best title of this text? A. look into your eyes       B. return to the White House ‎ C. the last rider to help    D. compassion of a great man ‎ C ‎ Owning a smart phone may not be as smart as you think. They may let you surf the Internet, listen to music and snap photos wherever you are… but they also turn you into a workaholic, it seems. 　　A study suggests that, by giving you access to emails at all times, the all-singing, all-dancing mobile phone adds as much as two hours to your working day. Researchers found that Britons work an additional 460 hours a year on average as they are able to respond to emails on their mobiles. 　　The study by technology retailer Pixmania reveals the average UK working day is between 9 and 10 hours, but a further two hours is spent responding to or sending work emails, or making work calls. More than 90 percent of office workers have an email-enabled phone, with a third accessing them more than 20 times a day. Almost one in ten admits spending up to three hours outside their normal working day checking work emails. Some workers confess they are on call almost 24 hours a day, with nine out of ten saying they take work emails and calls outside their normal working hours. The average time for first checking emails is between 6 am and 7 am, with more than a third checking their first email in this period, and a quarter checking them between 11 pm and midnight. 　　Ghadi Hobeika, marketing director of Pixmania, said, “The ability to access literally millions of apps, keep in contact via social networks and take photos and video as well as text and call has made smart phones invaluable for many people. However, there are drawbacks. Many companies expect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and ‎ smart phones mean that people literally cannot get away from work. The more constantly in contact we become, the more is expected of us in a work capacity.” 28．What can we conclude from the text? A. All that glitters is not gold.           B. It’s no good crying over spilt milk.. C. It never rains but pours.             D. Every coin has two sides 29．The underlined word “accessing” in the third paragraph can be replaced by _________       . A. calling          B. reaching           C. using         D. getting 30．Which of the following is true according to the text? A. The average UK working day is between nine and twelve hours. B. Nine-tenths spend over three hours checking work emails. C. One fourth check their first mails between 11 pm and midnight. D. The average time for first checking emails is between 6 am and 8 am. 31．What’s the main idea of the text? A. Workaholics like smart phones.        B. Employers don’t like smart phones. C. Smart phones make our live easier.    D. Smart phones bring about extra work.‎ D Communities change in all sorts of ways over time. My few trips home over the years have given me an idea of the long term influence on a community when population falls even while wealth rises.‎ I come from one of the beautiful seaside towns that dot the Jersey Shore just seventy-five miles south of New York City. When I was growing up thirty-five years ago, these were lively and busy communities filed year-round with resident(居民)and full of tourists all summer.‎ Today, I notice one big change since my childhood: no people. No children playing around, no traffic in the streets and no customers looking through the storefronts. The big beautiful Victorian homes that housed families with five or more children and grandparents ‎ mow sit quite. The line of old bicycles in the drive has been replaced by a single luxury(豪华的) car from other states.‎ Few who grew up here can afford to live in their parents’ homes today. Over time, the beauty of the place along with its perfects location turned a middle-class, family-centered neighborhood into a collection of vacation homes for the rich. The town is too expensive for the “locals”but too far from the City for workers.‎ It is not bad—just different.‎ Unless of course you own a small business that was built to serve a large year-round population. Small hardware stores, clothes shops, gift shops and independent cafes have been replace by law offices and businesses dealing with houses and land. The hospitality(招待) industry, which includes my parents’ business, is having a hard time as there just aren’t enough customers between September and June. The land is worth more than the business itself, waiting for condo(公寓) developers.‎ Rising land and house values in Oak Park make me think of my family’s experience on the Jersey Shore. A community is more than a place—it is the people who live there. Who will live in Oak Park in thirty years? Just wondering.‎ 32. How was the author’s hometown when he was a child?‎ A. It was quite and small.‎ B. It was a popular attraction in summer.‎ C. It had a lot of vacation homes.‎ D. It was a beautiful with modern style house.‎ ‎33. What does the author care most about his hometown?‎ A. The heavy traffic.‎ B. Changes in family structures.‎ C. Rising prices of houses.‎ D. The falling population.‎ ‎34. Who will be seriously hurt by the changes in Oak Park?‎ A. City workers.‎ B. Holidaymakers.‎ C. Condo developers.‎ D. Small business owners.‎ ‎35. How does the author probably feel when writing this text?‎ A. Worried. B. Angry. C. Doubtful. D. Surprised.‎ 第二部分（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。‎ Worry problems are everywhere in our daily life. How to solve them? The answer is that we must equip ourselves to deal with different kinds of worries by learning the three basic steps of problem analysis. The three steps are: 　　Get the facts 　　Why is it so important to get the facts? Unless you have the facts, you can’t possibly attempt to solve your problem intelligently. Without the facts, all you can do is wondering around in confusion. It is not an easy job to get facts. When you are worried, your emotions are riding high.  36．    . 　　When trying to get the facts, you can pretend that you are collecting this information not for yourself but for some other person. 37．    You can also pretend that you are a lawyer preparing to agree. Try to get all the facts both on your side and the other side of the case. You will generally find the truth lies somewhere in between. 　　38． 　　Whenever you are worried, write down the questions that make you worry. And write out all the various steps you could take and then the probable consequences of each step. For example, what am I worrying about? What can I do about it? Here is what I’m going to do about it. After carefully weighing all the facts, you can calmly come to a decision. 　　Act on that decision. 　　39．    How can you break the worry habit before it breaks you? Crowd worry out of your mind by keeping busy. Plenty of action is one of the best ways to cure worry.   40．    If you know a situation is beyond your power, say to yourself: “ It is so; it can’t be otherwise.”  Don’t permit little things to ruin your happiness. Try to cultivate a mental attitude that will bring you peace and happiness. A. Analyze the facts. B. Accept what can’t be avoided. C. There comes a time when you must decide and never look back. D. This will help you to take a cold and fair view of the evidence. E. Decide how much anxiety a thing may be worth.‎ F. Unless you take your action, all your face-finding and analysis is a sheer waste of energy. G. But here are two ideas that can help you see the facts in a clear and objective way.‎ 第三部分：完形填空(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分) ‎ The tornado siren(龙卷风报警器) sounded at the Little Sioux Scout(童子军) Ranch in western Iowa just before the power went out on June 11,2008.
