Many Americans fail to lose weight probably because _______.‎ A. they always exercise alone B. they are too busy to exercise C. they are under great pressure D. they don’t get enough exercise ‎22. How much should a couple pay if they join the gym today?‎ A. $500. B. $800. C. $900. D. $1,000.‎ ‎23. Who are the target readers of the text?‎ A. Those who like physical activities B. Those who want to lose weight C. Those who are interested in nutrition D. Those who want to save money B Two of the saddest words in the English language are “if only”. I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.‎ My father is famous in our family for saying “Take the extra minute to do it right”. I always try to live by the “extra minute” rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only” moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table.‎ I don’t only avoid those “if only” moments when it comes to safety. It’s equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say “I love you” or “I forgive you”. When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn’t be here. But then I thought about the fact that he’s 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn’t give up an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.‎ I know there will still be occasions when I have to say “if only” about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally ‎ takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that I’m doing the right thing. I’m buying myself peace of mind and that’s the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being.‎ ‎24. Which of the following is an example of the extra minute rule?‎ A. Start the car the moment everyone is seated.‎ B. Leave the room for a minute with the iron working.‎ C. Move an object out of the way before it trips someone.‎ D. Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better.‎ ‎25. The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to ________.‎ A. meet her father who was already an old man B. keep her appointment with the eye doctor C. join in the holiday celebration of the company D. finish her work before the deadline approached ‎26. The underlined word “foregone” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________.‎ A. lacked B. Abandoned C. avoided D. wasted ‎27. What is the author’s attitude to the words “if only”?‎ A. Optimistic. B. Rejective. C. Hesitant. D. Insignificant.‎ C In one of the old buildings near our school，one could see an old man sitting by a large window on the first floor．His name was James．During the three years at schoo1, I had hardly ever found him missing from his usual position．‎ He was a high-ranking government official and lived happily with his wife．Once there was a bus accident，in which a number of passengers were seriously injured and were taken to the hospital for treatment．James was responsible for the rescue operation．It was a big hospital，but James was shocked to notice how ill-equipped it was．There were no enough life-saving drugs and life—supporting equipment． The injured and their companions had to struggle there．James attempted to help．However，though he emptied his pockets，many of them died that day．‎ That was a turning point in his life．He made a decision to devote his life to helping others，particularly the poor and needy patients and their companions．He began spending ‎ much of his income on these people．Since this required a lot of time and energy，he found it difficult to fulfill his official duties and therefore chose to retire，which，in turn，reduced his income greatly．‎ His wife was deeply worried. Most of the time，James was out and paid least attention to home affairs．Meanwhile，as he was spending a lot helping others，she had to struggle even to meet the household expenses．Though she was not opposed to his helping the poor，she urged him not to overlook his own life and home，but it had no effect on him．One day they had a heated argument and in the end she left him，never to return．Though he continued with his work，this was a great blow and did serious harm to his health and enthusiasm and was soon forced to stay indoors．That was when he took his position by the window，spending his time looking outside．‎ A few weeks after my graduation，I returned to school，only to find the buildings gone．I heard that they were torn down．All the people left except James．He refused to go and the next morning，he was found at his usual place by the window，dead．‎ ‎28. What changed James’ view towards life?‎ A. The difficulties in his career．‎ B. The deaths in the bus accident．‎ C. The bad conditions in the hospital．‎ D. The responsibilities in the operation．‎ ‎29. James chose to retire in order to____________________.‎ A. take care of the injured passengers B. find a better job to increase his income C. spare more time and energy to help others D. stay away from the difficult official duties ‎30. James’ wife left because_________________________．‎ A. she was strongly against his deeds B. James paid too little attention to his work C. her work to support their daily life was too tiring D. James failed to keep a balance between charity and home ‎31. The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 4 refers to ____________.‎ A. His decision to retire B. The departure of his wife C. The argument with his wife D. His devotion to helping others ‎ D Modern man has cleared the forests for farmland and for wood, and has also carelessly burned them. More than that, though, he has also interfered (干涉) with the invisible bonds between the living things in the forests. There are many examples of this kind of destruction. The harmfulness of man's interference can be seen in what happened many years ago in the forest of the Kaibab plateau (凯亚巴布高原) of northern Arizona. Man tried to improve on the natural web of forest life and destroyed it instead.    The Kaibab had a storybook forest of large sized pine, Douglas fir, white fir, blue and Engelmann spruce. In ‎1882 a visitor noted,"We, who... have wandered through its forests and parks, have come to regard it as the most enchanting region it has ever been our privilege (特权) to visit." This was also the living place of the  Rocky‎ ‎Mountain mule deer. Indians hunted there every autumn to gather meat and skins. The forest also had mountain lions, timber wolves and bobcats that kept the deer from multiplying too rapidly.   Then, in 1906, President Theodore Roosevelt made the Kaibab a national game preserve. Deer hunting was forbidden. Government hunters started killing off the deer's enemies. In 25 years' time, 6,250 mountain lions, wolves and bobcats were killed. Before the program, there were about 4,000 deer in the Kaibab, by 1924, there were about 100,000.    The deer ate every leaf and twig they could reach. But there was not nearly enough food. Hunting of deer was permitted again. This caused a slight decrease in the deer herd (鹿群),but a far greater loss resulted from starvation (饥饿) and disease. Some 60 percent of the deer herd died in two winters. By 1930 the herd had dropped to 20,000 animals. By 1942 it was down to 8,000.‎ ‎32. The destruction of the environment of the Kaibab resulted from _____.‎ A. turning the forest into cultivated land B. interfering with natural cycle of forest life  C. forest fires caused by man's carelessness D. cutting the trees for building materials ‎33. "Engelmann spruce"(Para. 2) is most likely the name of _____.‎ A. a tree  B. an animal  C. a mountain  D. a game ‎34. The number of the deer in the Kaibab had increased enormously in _____ years' time.‎ A. 25  B. 6  C. 18 D. 12‎ ‎35. Years later, large numbers of deer in the Kaibab died mainly because of _____.‎ A. the cold  B. the organized kill  ‎ C. the shortage of food  D. the poor management 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。‎ A major source of teen stress is school exams, and test anxiety is not uncommon.
