up.It gotout of control when I went to law school.Id made a decision a thousand times：Im going to lose weight now.But whatmotivated me to get serious about it was turning 30.I weighed 414 pounds.I wasalways tired.Some of my family members have suffered from heart disease，and I wasscared.I also wanted to look better.So after my birthday，I walked into the office of aweight-loss doctor.She was very understanding.Her focus was on balanced meals and she wantedme to exercise.Walking was all I could do at first.I started by walking a few blocks andgradually increased the distance，until one weekend，I found myself saying，“Wow，this seems pretty easy.”So I started to run.I was losing nine or ten pounds a month，and I had more energy.I started to thinkabout the New York City Marathon.For years，I watched the runners and thought，“This looks like fun，but I could never do that.”But now I realized that maybe I could.I joined the New York Road Runners.I ran a 10km，then a half-marathon.I stillwasnt confident I could run a full 26 miles.But I told myself I was going to do it，nomatter what.By my 33rd birthday，I was down to 180 pounds.I started formally training forthe marathon.And on the morning of November 1，I stood on the Verrazano Bridge inStaten Island with more than 40,000 other runners，waiting for the event to start.学科网（北京）股份有限公司It was unbelievable to have the audience cheering me on，handing me cups ofwater.And I crossed the finish line.My friends sprayed me with beer，as if Id wonthe Super Bowl.And at that moment，I knew：If I set my mind to something，nothingis impossible.24.The underlined phrase“blowing up”in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaningto_.A.going weakerB.becoming fatterC.becoming healthier D.growing high25.The author who was at the age of 33 had lost _pounds in weight during thepast three years.A.180B.414C.594D.23426.What do we know from the passage?A.The author formally trained for the marathon for three years.B.The author started by running when

will,there is a way.B.Pride comes before a fall.C.Agood beginning is half done.D.Practice makes perfect.CYears of research show that when a native English speaker enters a conversationamong nonnative speakers,understanding goes down.Communication specialistHeather Hansen tells us thats because the native speaker doesnt know how to dowhat nonnative speakers do naturally:speak in ways that are understandable toeveryone,using simple words and expressions.They unconsciously use unnecessarilyconfusing vocabulary,which makes language less understandable.Ting Gong grew up in Shanghai and moved to the U.S.in her 20s.She ran upagainst this problem of confusing vocabulary at the doctors one day.Thereceptionist(接待员)gave me a form and asked me to write down my complaints,”shesaid.“I told her that I did not have any complaint，and she looked impatient and thenshe asked me to write down anything that I could think of.”“I only realized thatcomplaints here refers to symptoms I have after I spoke to myhusband when I got home.At the doctors I actually wrote down the receptionist wasnot friendly as one of my complaints.So what can we do to improve communication between native and nonnativeEnglish speakers?Hansen says the responsibility shouldnt be on nonnative speakers but rather onnative English speakers.Take a page out of nonnative speakers book,says Hansen,bychanging your English to be more inclusive.That means no more confusingexpressions.Small changes like this might allow native speakers to join inconversations with nonnative speakers.Joseph Issam Harb,who was raised in the United States and Abu Dhabi UnitedArab Emirates,said,I am still learning about English from nonnative speakers.In emails,Ive discovered an expression commonly used by some nonnativespeakers please do the needful,Harb said.For years I have been interested in thisexpression and its use in formal work environment emails.Discovering it and学科网（北京）股份有限公司wondering about the origins of the expression,which means please do whatneeds to be done,has been an enjoyable thing for Harb.28.What makes communication between native and nonnative speakers less smoothaccording to Hansen?A.The speed of native speakers talk.B.Nonnative speakers bad pronunciation.C.The difference between speakers cultures.D.Native speakers use of confusing expressions.29.Why did Gong reply that she did not have any complaint?A.She had difficulty expressing herself in English.B.She wanted to get treatment as soon as possible.C.She failed to understand what the receptionist had meant.D.She feared that the receptionist would become impatient.30.What does Hansen suggest native English speakers do?A.Read books by nonnative English writers.B.Join in more nonnative speakers conversations.C.Make no comment about nonnative speakers English.D.Use expressions understandable to nonnative speakers.31.What did Harb say about nonnative English?A.It is very interesting.B.It should be corrected.C.It sounds strange and funny.D.It can be used in informal situations.DIs the woman pictured on the right more attractive than the woman on the left?The photograph on the right was changed using a new“beauty making”computerprogram,which uses a mathematical formula involving 234 measurements ofdistances between facial features to get a theoretically more attractive version,whilekeeping the basic appearance of the face unchanged.Unlike changes done in fashionmagazine photos,wrinkles were not smoothed and hair color was not changed.The program is the latest attempt to combine beauty and science,a subject thathas drawn increasing academic interest in the last decade.Studies have shown there is surprising agreement among people of differentcultures about what makes a face attractive.Most important is symmetry(匀称),along with youthfulness,skin smoothness and vivid eyes and hair color.Yet,like themany other scientific or mathematical attempts to define beauty,this softwareprogram raises complex and difficult questions about the understanding of beauty.学科网（北京）股份有限公司“How can they prove something is more or less beautiful？”said Lois Banner,ahistory professor at Chicago University,who studies changing beauty standards.“There can never be a single standard of beauty because so much of it is culturallyinfluenced.”After viewing“before”and“after”photographs of different people,Banner saidthe original faces were more attractive.“Irregular beauty is the real beauty，”saidBanner,adding that attempts to measure beauty are driven by the medias efforts todefine beauty and who is beautiful.Martina Eckstut,the woman whose photo was beautified for this article,said shewas struck by how different she looked.“I think the after picture looks great,but itdoesnt really look like me at all.”She added,“I would like to keep my original face.”For centuries people have tried to define a universal ideal of beauty.“The firstreaction we have to faces will be based on face symmetry.”said Alexander Nehamas,a professor who has written about beauty.“But in real life we dont just see a face.Wesee faces as people express their emotions and ideas,and all those aspects of the faceare essential to our deciding whether a face or a person is beautiful.”32.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.Beauty lies in face symmetry.B.People of different cultures can hardly reach any agreement on beauty.C.There is no single standard or definition of beauty.D.Science should be used to help us create beauty.33.According to Banner,_.A.there is no such thing as beautyB.irregular beauty is more attractive than symmetrical beauty in every cultureC.the media is to blame for measuring beautyD.it is impossible to show that one thing is more beautiful than another34.After seeing her beautified photo,Martina Eckstut was _.A.shocked because her face looked uglyB.prefer to get her face changed although it didnt look like her at allC.amazed by the attractiveness but refused to change her face in realityD.confused by how different she looked and had no idea what to do35.The purpose of the passage is to _.A.criticize the attempts to create artificial beautyB.introduce a beauty program and a discussion about beautyC.discuss what makes a person beautifulD.to encourage people to change their appearance第二节（共第二节（共 5

essentialquestion is what I ask my high school engineering students when they begin the studyof inventions.Our students are often provided with the problem,or spoon-fed with asolution,or end up checking their answers against those in the back of the book.36The concept is the“invention design process”or“engineering design process”.学科网（北京）股份有限公司37These steps include identifying a practical problem,developing potentialsolutions and ultimately designing something that proves they can improve the livesof beneficiaries.In short,we are talking about real problems that affect real people.Students will often say,“38”My reply is similar:“I dont either,but it isgoing to be a lot of fun seeing you find one.”At this point in the process,studentsbegin to realize that not only do they need to identify a problem,but they have toclearly understand it.There is no room for loosely pieced together projects withoutthought or true purpose.For example,each term my class invents devices to assist local fire and policedepartments.At the end of the unit,we invite police officers and firefighters to ashowcase who then provide students with feedback(反馈)on the devices.39As aresult,the students will also give their projects serious attention.Inventing is a skill and every student can develop that skill.It may be a clich(陈词滥调),but its true kids are natural inventors.And once they are taught theskills of how to invent,there is no stopping them.As a teacher,I cant help butask,“40”A.I dont know the answer to the problem.B.I dont know what problem I should solve.C.Now I am introducing them to a foreign concep
