Looking out to the sea carefully, he saw a couple of kids in a rowboat were being pulled out to sea. Two 12yearold boys, Christian and Jack, rowed out a boat to search for a football. Once they'd rowed beyond the calm waters, a beach umbrella tied to the boat caught the wind and pulled the boat into the open water. The pair panicked and tried to row back to shore. But they were no match for it and the boat was out of control. Tim knew it would soon be swallowed by the waves. “Everything went quiet in my head，”Tim recalled (回忆)“I was trying to figure out how to swim to the boys in a straight line.” Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water. Every 500 yards or so, he raised his head to judge his progress. “At one point, I considered turning back，” he says.“ I wondered if I was putting my life at risk.” After 30 minutes of struggling, he was close enough to yell to the boys, “Take down the umbrella！”Christian made much effort to take down the umbrella. Then Tim was able to catch up and climb aboard the boat. He took over rowing, but the waves were almost too strong for him. “Let's aim for the pier (码头)，” Jack said. Tim turned the boat toward it. Soon afterward, waves crashed over the boat, and it began to sink. “Can you guys swim？” he cried. “A little bit，” the boys said. Once they were in the water, Tim decided it would be safer and faster for him to pull the boys toward the pier. Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their backs. Tim swam toward land as water washed over the boys' faces. “Are we almost there？” They asked again and again. “Yes，” Tim told them each time. After 30 minutes, they reached the pier.21Why did the two boys go to the sea?Ato go boat rowing.Bto get back their football.Cto swim in the open water.Dto test the umbrella as a sail.22What does “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?Athe beach.Bthe water.

That is why the word "heart" is used in so many expressions about emotional situations.One such expression is to "lose your heart" to someone. When that happens, you have fallen in love. But if the person who won your heart does not love you, then you are sure to have a "broken heart." In your pain and sadness, you may decide that the person you loved is "hard-hearted," and in fact, has a "heart of stone."You may decide to "pour out your heart" to a friend. Telling someone about your personal problems can often make you feel better.If your friend does not seem to understand how painful your broken heart is, you may ask her to "have a heart." You are asking your friend to show some sympathy for your situation. Your friend "has her heart in the right place" if she says she is sorry, and shows great concern for how you feel.Your friend may, however, warn you not to "wear your heart on your sleeve." In other words, do not let everyone see how lovesick you are. When your heart is on your sleeve you are showing your deepest emotions.If your friend says "my heart bleeds for you," she means the opposite. She is a cold-hearted person who does not really care about your situation.In the ever-popular motion picture, "The Wizard of Oz,"（绿野仙踪） the Tin Man seeks a heart. He wanted to feel the emotion of love, and was seeking help from the powerful Wizard of Oz to find a heart.The Cowardly Lion, in the same movie, did “have a heart”. But he lacked courage and wanted to ask the Wizard of Oz to give him some. You could say that the cowardly lion was "chicken-hearted." That is another way of describing someone who is not very brave. A chicken is not noted for its bravery. Thus, someone who is chicken-hearted does not have much courage.When you are frightened or concerned, your "heart is in your mouth." You might say, for example, that your heart was in your mouth when you asked a bank to lend you some money to pay for a new house. 25What is the main idea of the passage?AThe heart was the center of a person's emotions.BThere are many expressions about heart and what do they mean.CWe should learn some expressions about “heart”.DIt is important to learn some expressions about “heart”26How many expressions about “Heart” are mentioned in the passage?A.10 B.8 C.9 D.1127If you hear one of your family members is hurt in a traffic accident, you will feel _.A.heart is in your mouth. B.have your heart in the right place C. wear your heart on your sleeve D.lose your heart28Why did the writer mention"The Wizard of Oz,"in the passage?A.To show that it is ever popular.B.To introduce a film to the readersC.To give some more examples about the phrases.D.To show that the Tin Man is not brave.CChina is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I've found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, it's the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want. It's fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks (人行道)Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can't provide. Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied my great buy.I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.My first ride home was orderly (守秩序的)To be safe, I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didn't want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully. Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck. I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.29According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?ABecause they are traditional and safe.BBecause they are convenient and inexpensive.CBecause they are colorful and available.DBecause they are fast and environment friendly.30The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended _.Ato ride it for funBto use it for transportCto experience local cultureDto improve his riding skills31How did the author feel about his street crossing?AIt was boring.BIt was difficult.CIt was lively. DIt was wonderful.32Which of the following best describes the author's biking experience?AThe author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.BThe author was annoyed by the air while riding.CThe author was praised by the other bikers.DThe author took great pleasure in biking.DSmoking is the worst thing you can do for your health. Fortunately, its never too late to get the benefits of quitting. If youve tried to quit before and failed, its time to make up your mind and try again.Smoking is responsible for one of every five deaths. That includes 29% of all cancer deaths, 87% of all lung cancer deaths, and nearly 20% of all deaths are from cardiovascular disease. But long before smoking kills you, it ages you. You can see that smoking accelerates the drying and wrinkling of the skin. But there are fewer obvious effects as well. Indeed, smoking takes years away from your life. Nearly half of all chronic smokers die an average of 20 to 25 years before their time.Besides an early death from cancer or heart disease, smoking can cause lung disorders. People who smoke over a pack a day have almost three times the risk of contracting pneumonia (肺炎) than that of non­smokers. By lowering levels of estrogen (雌性激素) in men and women, smoking speeds bone less. If a woman smokes a pack of cigarettes every day, she will enter menopause (更年期) with 5% to 10% less bone mass than a non­smoker.The good news is that no matter what your age is or how long youve smoked, youll live longer if you quit today. The Coronary Artery Surgery Study examined nearly 2,000 long­term smokers over the age of 54. Those who quit had significantly lower death rates six years later than those who didnt. Even the oldest ex­smokers had a higher survival rate. Not only will you live longer if you quit, but youll feel better, breathe easier, and find that you have more energy. Youll have fewer respiratory infections, headaches, and stomachaches. Whats more, youll save money. Your clothes and breath wont smell unpleasant any longer. And your habit wont annoy, or threaten the health of the people who live and work with you.33According to the passage, the percentage of deaths due to smoking is _.A20%B25% C29% D87%34All of the following methods are used in the passage EXCEPT _.Agiving examplesBmentioning famous sayingsCcomparingDlisting numbers35What do we know from the Coronary Artery Surgery Study?AIt examined about 2,000 smokers who all quit smoking finally.BQuitting smoking is easier said than done.Clong­term smokers who quit smoking can live longer.DQuitting smoking has a bad effect on peoples health.第二节 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。其中有两项为多余选项。Although problems are a part of our lives, it certainly doesnt mean that we let them rule our lives forever.
