As Kevin gazed at the river, he caughtsight of several people on the bank (21)_(motion) toward the water. When he looked in thatdirection, he noticed a bright red boat turning in a spinning circle in the stormy water at the base of the Geneva Dam，300 feet away.Kevin assumed the person on the boat (22) _ (jump) out of it. “Then I heard a warning signal with a loud sound,” says Kevin, now 42. “Thats (23) _I realized somebody was in trouble.”He couldnt see anyone in the river, (24) _he sped toward the bank and dashed into thefreezing water. About 150 feet from shore, he spied an object moving downriver. “I thought it was a lifejacket,” he says. “When I caught up to it, I realized it (25) _ (attach) to a person.”Now in water up to his neck, Kevin grabbed the man, (26) _was floating on his backunconscious, under both armpits and held his head above the surface. Kevin struck the mans chest again and again. After five hits, the man coughed up water and began speaking incoherently. Just back to life,the man was still weak. Battling the current, Kevin sidestepped his way (27) _the shoreline,repeatedly digging his shoes into the rivers rocky bottom. When he reached the bank, someone jumped into the river and helped Kevin lift the 200-pound drowning man over a six-foot brick retaining wall to waiting doctors, who took him away in an ambulance. The man recovered, but a friend who was boating with him died after being trapped underwater near the dam.Kevin pulled (28) _up to sit on the shore beside Ryan, who had followed his fathers pathdown the river. “When I caught my breath, I realized I saved someones life, which is what I (29) _do.” Kevin says.In December 2015, Kevin received an award from the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission. “Lots ofhonour-receivers lost their lives saving someone,” he says. “(30) _ (put) in the same category is very humbling.”Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.

The 2-Minute Rule _32_ procrastination and laziness by making it so easy to start taking action that you cant say no. It might sound like this strategy is too basic for your _33_ life goals, but I beg to differ. It works for any goal because of one simple reason: the_34_of real life.As Sir Isaac Newton taught us a long time ago, objects at rest tend to stay at rest and objects in motion tend to stay in motion. This is just as true for humans as it is for falling apples. Once you start doing something, it，s easier to _35_ doing it. I love the 2-Minute Rule because it takes up the idea that all sorts of good things happen once you get started.The most important part of any new habit is getting started not just the first time, but each time. Its not about performance, its about _36_ taking action. In many ways, getting started is more important than succeeding. This is _37_ true in- the beginning because there will be plenty of time to improve your performance later on. The 2-Minute Rule isnt about the results you achieve, but rather about the _38_ of actually doing the work. I can，t guarantee whether or not the 2-Minute Rule will work for you. But, I can guarantee that it will never work if you never try it.The problem with most articles you read, podcasts you listen to, or videos you watch is that you _39_ the information but never put it into practice. I want this article to be different. I want you to actually use this information, right now. Whats something you can do that will take you less than two minutes? Do it right now. Anyone can _40_ the next 120 seconds. Use this time to get one thing done.Go.III.Reading Comprehension Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Travel, a home coming tourIn the UK travel is an enriching life experience that will make your resume stand out amongst other applicants. Travel is not simply a pursuit of_41_ but also “character-building”，“defining” and potentially “career-boosting”.Most of the people I know here at university _42_ the desire to travel and escape the stress surrounding us. But I dont think, as UK students, we can blame our addiction to international travel simply on a stressful life. Yes, I have a lot to handle and its a fine_43_ act managing my part-time job, my degree and my social life to a perfect level. In a truly open world, we can get anywhere, see anything and experience every culture under the sun, at the click of a button, the purchase of a _44_Many people I met while working in China were surprised at the number of countries Id travelled to. Compared to friends and family I consider myself vastly _45_. Ive never set foot across the pond in the U.S.A and Canada, let alone South America and even within Europe my checklist of destinations is far from_46_. I was also met by_47_at how little travelling I had done within my own borders. This was something I had not really considered before. How much of my own country had I really seen and experienced? To those from a place as vast and varied as China, Britain was really so _48_in comparison and so to have spent 20 years there and not seen every part of it was quite surprising.I had a conversation with a Chinese colleague over the reasoning behind our use of golden Cotswold stone, which sounds dull for most people. As a student of history, I found anything_49_fascinating. However it was not the stone within British cities I found interesting. What was curious was that it was something I had never even considered, and yet here was someone_50_on something I had simply taken for granted.We continued our discussion, yet I was left_51_that I could not answer her question. In China, as well as a wealth of new culture that fascinated me, I discovered that there were parts of the UKs culture, history, the very structure of my identity that were so different, so unique from China that I also_52_a newly found interest in my own heritage.In this respect, travelling enables you with two things. Firstly you develop a(n) _53_with new cultures, understanding customs, experiencing cuisines and absorbing the sights and smells of every new city. For many employers this_54_to new locations is seen as tremendous in your personal resume. But alongside increased employability, through international, cross-cultural conversations, you develop an interest in your own history, culture, and customs. You return to your home_55_ an understanding of other peoples fascination with it and your own sense of love for its peculiarities.41.A. leisure B. wealth C. company D. personality42.A. question B. refuse C. detect D. experience43.A. balancing B. forcing C. judging D. disturbing44.A. course B. stamp C. diploma D. ticket45.A. under-stuffed B. under-travelled C. under-used D. under-expanded46.A. official B. vacant C. complete D. accurate47.A. excitement B. hatred C. astonishment D. disgust48.A .young B. beautiful C. remote D. small49.A. historical B. dramatic C. religious D. perfect50.A. piled B. hooked C. relied D. carried51.A. exhausted B. embarrassed C. puzzled D. convinced52.A. exchanged B. lost C. gained D. traded53.A. observation B. resolution C. fascinationD. illustration54.A. relation B. preference C. agreementD. adaptability55.A. objecting to B. filled with C. bothered byD. searching forSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.(A)The Christmas of 1988, my husband and I had four children. Peter was eleven, Leigh-Ann nine, Laura six and Matthew only two. When Santa arrived, Matthew parked himself on Santas lap and remained impressed greatly by him for the rest of the evening. Anyone who had their picture taken with Santa that Christmas also had their picture taken with little Matthew.Little did any of us know how precious those photos with Santa and Matthew would become. Five days after Christmas, our sweet little Matthew died in an accident. When our first Christmas without Matthew approached, it was hard for us to get into the holiday spirit.Then, on December 13, we were just finishing dinner when we heard a knock on the front door. When we went to answer it, no one was there. On the front porch was a card and gift. The gift-giver just wanted to help us get through a rough time by cheering us up with his or her name unknown, like a fairy.In the gift bag was a cassette of favorite Christmas music, which was in a little cardboard Chris
