I gave it to my husband for suggestions. After reading it, he said, “I dont think this is up to your usual standards. I said, “I need more information. What doesnt work? He said he wasnt sure. I then took the plan and reread it.He asked, M How about if I look at it again and make notes between the space? I agreed. A half hour later I looked at his notes and told him he didnt understand the situation and what I really wanted to express. He shrugged (耸肩) and said OK. I took the plan and went back to my computer and again revised. As I was writing, I could see my plan improving based on his suggestions. When I finished, I proudly handed the plan back to my husband. He read it for the third time and said, “Its still not right but I couldnt exactly say. “I was a little annoyed and then told him I was the writer and that I had seen some goofy (愚蠢的) plans he sent out. But I picked up my plan and went back to the computer.After an hour of revisions, I went back to my husband apologetically with a plan in my hand. I told him I was sorry for what Id said and asked if he would please read the plan again because I did value his contribution. Being a very patient and kind-hearted fellow, he once again read my plan and declared that it was fine.This all leads me to the following: When you ask for advice on a project, be appreciative and grateful. Understand that the advice and suggestions you get may be negative. Understand that it may mean more work for you. And keep in mind that the final responsibility for the project is still yours. So be modest and thankful even if he or she has noted some problems.21Why did the author give her trade plan to her husband at first?ATo show off her excellent work.BTo have him type it on the computer.CTo ask him to make some changes from all details.DTo ask him to give her some advice.22We can infer from the passage that the authors husband was _.Aselfish, proud and determinedBproud, warm-hearted but stubbornChonest, kind and patientDhumorous, active and careful23The author wants to tell us that if you ask for suggestions, _.Ado accept all suggestions from the givers Bdont get upset if some are negativeCdo keep silent before taking action Ddo be grateful and confidentBThe surface of Venus金星has never seemed very hospitable. Temperatures change around 470°C900°F, the result of a runway greenhouse effect，and the pressure of its atmosphere, thick with carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid, is some 90 times that of Earths. Lead铅would flow like water on Venus, and water cannot have existed in liquid form for perhaps a billion years.Now NASAS Magellan spacecraft seems to have found one more horror in the nasty landscape: active volcanoes. Last week the space agency released the first detailed map of Venus and the most dramatic images ever made of its surface. The picture offer the best evidence to date that a planet once assumed dead is actually a lively pot of geological change.The most amazing image is of Venuss second tallest mountain, Maat Mons, which rises 8km5 miles . Most of the planets many peaks, including 9.5-km-6-mile- high Maxwell Montes, look bright in the radar pictures Magellan takes from its orbit above the permanent could cover. That means they are strong reflectors of radar waves. But Maat Mons is dark; like the Stealth bomber, it absorbs much of the radar falling on it.This interesting fact, say project scientists, is a strong hint that the mountains has recently been covered with lava§S. Rock that sits on the surface of mountaintops appears to weather quickly in the hot，chemically reactive atmosphere, creating a soil that is rich in iron sulfide硫 化铁 It is this mineral, the scientists believe, that can easily be seen on radar. If Maat Mons doesnt have any, it has probably been resurfaced, perhaps within the past few years.Such resurfacing has undoubtedly taken place in Venus lowlands: earlier images of the planet showed vast areas that are remarkably free of craters火山坑.That would be easy to explain on a Planet like Earth, where cratering from meteor strikes is erased by steady erosion. But while there is some evidence of wind erosion on Venus, the best explanation for the lack of cratering is periodic lava flow. Magellan has found direct evidence of such flows, including domelike upwellings and hardened streamed of rock trailing down the sides of Venusian peaks. There are also signs of other geologic activities, including dramatic faulting and several distinct incidents of mountain building. But the evidence cant indicate whether they really occurred millions of years ago. The case for active Venusian volcanoes is not yet proved, but Magellan, which is now well into its second complete survey of the planets surface, may eventually settle the issue.24Which of the following can not be possibly found on Venus now?ACarbon dioxide BSulfuric acid CLiquid water DActive volcanoes25The scientists believe that shows up easily on radar.Ageological change Biron sulfide Cmountain mineral Dlava flow26Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?AThe resurfacing has changed the images of the vast areas in Venus lowlands.BThe wind erosion on Venus is caused by periodic lava flowsCStreams of rock trailing down the side of Venusian peaks can be seen on EarthDOther geologic activities have caused dramatic and unbelievable climate phenomena.27What can be inferred from the passage?ANASAS Magallan spacecraft fails to stand the environment of Venus.BThere is clear and confirmed evidence for the active Venusian volcanoes on Venus.CSome evidence of periodic lava flows has been found by NASA astronauts.DMagellan will conduct a follow-up complete survey of the Venus，surface.C I must have looked deep in thought, or as deep in thought as an 11-year-old man can, when my grandmother glanced up from her weeding to ask, "You have something on your mind, don't you?""Yes, I was thinking that someday I want to be an Olympic speed skating champion like my hero, Eric Heiden, I want to be a doctor like my parents and I want to help children in Africa."I immediately knew I had confided in the right person when a knowing smile broke across her face. "Johann, of course! You can do anything you want to do!" she said simply. And with my grandmother's support, I set out to pursue my passions.14 years later, I was well ready to take hold of my first dream: becoming an Olympic champion. The Olympics in 1994 were in my home country, Norway. As I entered the Olympic stadium, I wasn't the best athlete, and many had doubts about my ability to perform well. But I had something special working for me. I had a woman in the first row who believed in me following my passions just as much as I did. For the first time ever, my grandmother was going to see me skate.It happened. Breaking a world record, I won the gold.As I stood on the podium(领奖台) that I had dreamed about my entire life, a curious question popped into my head. Why me? Why did I win, given all the other incredible competitors out there? The reason had to be more than a grandmother who shared a belief in her grandson's dream. The question led me to only one answer: because I wanted to make a difference in the world, and with all the media attention on my success, I could.I immediately knew what that difference had to be: hope in the lives of the children in Africa. Six months earlier, I'd been invited to Eritrea as an ambassador for Olympic Aid.28When the author spoke out what was on his mind, his grandmother_.Alaughed at himBsupported himChad no confidence in himDfelt quite surprised29The author probably realized his first dream at the age of _.A20 B22 C25 D2830What will the author tell us in the part following the passage?AHis efforts in helping the African children.BHis hard training in preparing for the next Olympics.CHis successes at other Olympic games.DHis grandmothers attitude towards him.31The whole passage is mainly about _.Aa young boy who had many dreamsBthe encouragement from a grandmotherCa sportsman who realized his first dream of helping African childrenDan Olympic hero who made a difference in the worldD Losing a wallet is one of those careless acts most of us have come across, at some point or the other in our lives. While most of us tend to move on after mourning over the lost necessities, there are a few lucky ones who get them back, with the help of the police or the generosity of the person who finds it.And then there is Hunter Shamatt, who not only got back his wallet but with some added happiness that was tagged along!Hunter was on his way to attend his sisters wedding on a Las Vegas-bound flight when he realized that he has misplaced his wallet, sometime during the journey. Hunters family reached out to the Frontier flight to enquire if someone had handed it over to them. Unfortunately, there was no sign of the missing wallet.But wait. The story was far from over. Just a week after Hunters sisters wedding, he received a package in his mail. And guess what? There was his wallet! Surprisingly, the wallet was not the only thing that was inside the package. It also had a handwritten note for Hunter which turned out to be a bonus! The piece of paper read,“Hunter, Found this on a Frontier flight from Omaha to Denver row 12, seat F wedged between the seat and wall. Thought you might want it back. All the best.P.S. I rounded your cash up to an even $100, so you could celebrate getting your wallet back. HAVE FUN!Moved by the touching gesture, Hunters mom, Jeannie Shamatt, decided to write a post on Facebook giving a detailed description of the incident. She also urged everyone to share the post as she would like to meet and greet the person behind the act of kindness, personally.Now, thanks to the astonishing power of social media, the post finally reached the man behind the note. The man was identified as Todd Brown and it was one of his co-workers who made sure Jeannie Shamatts post reaches his colleague. Jeannie turned to Facebook again to thank Brown and his family for restoring her faith in humanity.“I try to teach my children to do the right things in life, help people when you can regardless of the outcome. This story is more about restoring faith in people than anything. We hear a lot of bad news but not enough good news. I personally want to thank Todd Brown and his wife for restoring faith that there are amazing people out there.32How did Hunter Shamatt get his wallet back?ATodd Brown sent it back. BThe police mailed it back.CHe found the wallet by himself.DThe Frontier flight helped him get it back.33What things were found in the package?AA wallet and a tag.BA wallet and a note.CA note and a tag.DA mail and a tag.34How did Hunters mom feel after receiving the package?ATouched.BUninterested.CSatisfied.DConfused.35What does the author intend to convey?AFriendship.BFreedom.CKindness.DJustice.第二节 共5小题；每题2分，总分值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正确选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Getting people to smile is not difficult because most people like to smile. However, if someone is faced with loss or experiencing sadness, they might be less possible to smile. 36Praise someone to get them to smile. 37 Maybe their hair is styled in an attractive way, or their clothes look nice on them. These are the nice things you can say to probably get them to smile.38 If you have a family member, a friend or a co-worker that is faced with a life difficulty, pull him/her aside and tell him/her you understand what he/she is going through and that you are there for him/her if he/she needs you. Doing this could help the person feel more connec
