I used to hate old books. When I say “old books”, I don’t mean classics, though. I mean books
with yellow pages, broken spines (书脊) and odd wood-like smells that you need to be careful not to
break because they are already so worn down and bring you severe discomfort. One can assume that I
didn’t own many old books. I had merely a few here and there that my parents had gifted me, but
nothing too special.
In the fourth grade, I was ready to explore a new world of reading, one that went beyond the
likes of children’s chapter books and teenagers’ topics. Just then, I found my parents’ old copies of
the entire Harry Potter book series. Visually, my parents’ books were my worst nightmare. I
remember thinking to myself that there was no way I would be able to read these books. However, I
eventually had to come to terms with the fact that if I wanted to read the series, I would have to read
my parents’ copies. And so began the terrible journey of reading seven old books.
When it was time for me to read the final copy, I was kind of a changed woman. I still strongly
disliked old books, but the plot of the entire Harry Potter series had attracted me so much I had
almost entirely forgotten what the books looked like. By the end, I had devoted the entire Harry
Potter bookshelf in my room.
Now, I love old books. While the covers are sometimes so worn down that you can barely read
the title of the book, you can understand what it’s about anyway. After all, an old book is a
representation of generations of readers who have chosen to live in a specific fictional world because
the story it contains is just that good. Old books have meaning and I love how much they mean to me
now.
24. What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs?
A. She was on bad terms with her parents.
B. She felt uneasy about reading old books.
C. She grew fondness for reading classics.
D. She was often gifted old books by her parents.
25. How did the author feel when seeing her parents’ Harry Potter series in the fourth grade?
A. Confused B. Pleased C. Astonished.
D. Discouraged.
26. What does the author mean by saying “I was kind of a changed woman” in paragraph 3?
A. She began to ignore the appearance of the books.
B. She started to enjoy reading fictional books.
C. She accepted putting old books on her shelf.
D. She figured out what she truly wanted to read.
27. What is the best title of the text?
A. My Passion for Reading
B. My Connection With Parents via Old Books
C. My Journey With Old Books

C
Keeping a busy social life among lots of friends may keep people thinner than spending hours
doing some exercises according to scientists. They say that socializing and meeting with friends help
increase levels of brown fat in the body which burns calories to produce heat.
Living in an exciting social environment was found to reduce fat of mice by half over four weeks
even if they ate more. US researchers say that social excitement catalyzes weight loss by turning
white fat into brown. White fat stores calories and makes us fatter while brown burns energy to
produce heat. Turning white fat into brown is extremely difficult, normally requiring long-term stay
in cold conditions or exciting part of the body’s nervous system.
However, scientists from Ohio State University now think that having a busy social life is an
even more effective way of changing white fat into brown. The team came up with their theory by
studying the effects of various living environments on mice. Those who lived alongside a greater
number of mice lost far more weight over the course of the study than their “couch potato” fellows.
Study author Dr Matthew, whose team’s findings appear in the journal, said “I’m still amazed
at the degree of fat loss that occurs.” Explaining how new technology had threatened face-to-face
socializing, he added, “It’s not just a sedentary (久坐的) lifestyle and high calorie foods but an
increasing lack of social activities.” Co-author Dr Lei Cao said, “Loneliness is a potential factor
for cancer and death; it’s equal to cigarette smoking to a certain extent. Social activities are very
vital.”
28. What information can we get from the first two paragraphs?
A. Social excitement helps gain more weight.
B. Brown fat stores calories and makes us fatter.
C. Brown fat can burn energy to produce heat.
D. It doesn’t take long to turn white fat into brown.
29. Which of the following words can replace the underlined word in paragraph 2?
A. destroys B. aids C. relieves D. harms
30. Which of the following statement does the text support?
A. The mice lacking social life lose more weight.
B. Dr Matthew During wasn’t convinced of the result.
C. Levels of brown fat can be increased by socializing.
D. The research findings haven’t been published so far.
31. What can we conclude from the text?
A. Cancer and death are mainly caused for lack of social life
B. The fat in mice’s belly was reduced because of the relaxing environment
C. Surfing the Internet may influence people’s face-to-face communication
D. A sedentary lifestyle and high calorie food influence people’s social life
D
第 5 页 共1 0 页Many animals depend upon sound to find food or communicate with one another. These species
understandably suffer when loud motorways cut through their habitats. Scientists have long
documented the ecological damage caused by noise pollution. It has always been assumed, however,
that noise is a problem unique to animals. But a new study by Ali Akbar Ghotbi-Ravandi, a botanist
in Tehran, has revealed that plants fell victim to it too.
Working with a team of colleagues, Dr Ghotbi-Ravandi grew two species in his lab that are
commonly found in urban environments. The plants were grown from seed and allowed to mature for
two months in the same space before they were divided into two groups. One group was exposed to
73 decibels(分贝) of traffic noise recorded from a busy motorway in Tehran for 16 hours a day. The
other group was left to grow in silence. After 15 days had passed, samples were taken from the
youngest fully expanded leaves on every plant in the experiment and studied.
Analysis of their leaves revealed that the chemicals which are indicators of stress in plants were
found at much higher levels in the species exposed to the traffic noise. The team also found that
certain chemicals normally associated with healthy growth in plants were present at significantly
reduced levels in the plants exposed to the noise. Even the weight of the freshly-cut leaves differed
— leaves from plants exposed to noise consistently weighed less than those from plants grown in
silence.
Dr Ghotbi-Ravandi’s findings make it clear that, though plants lack ears, the vibrations (震动)
generated by the noise of traffic still bothers them enough to cause strong stress responses that are
not much different to those that would be found in plants exposed to extreme conditions.
The next question is whether all noise pollution affects all species in the same way. The natural
world is by no means silent. Whether some plant species have evolved to adapt to the noisy
environment, which might one day be collected and transplanted in urban areas, is a mystery worth
exploring.
32. What does the author stress in paragraph 1?
A. Problems plants have surviving in nature. B. Effects motorways have on animals.
C. The importance of sound for animals. D. The influence of noise on plants.
33. How did Dr Ghotbi-Ravandi conduct the experiment?
A. By studying plants grown in different conditions.
B. By collecting samples from old leaves.
C. By making plants grow along motorways.
D. By choosing two rare plant species.
34. What can we know from Dr Ghotbi-Ravandi’s experiment?
A. Plants exposed to noise were less stressful.
B. Changes of chemicals in leaves were unclear.
C. Plants grew more slowly when grown in silence.
D. Leaves of plants grown in silence weighed more.
35. What might researchers do in the future?
A. To improve the adapting ability of plants.
B. To develop new species with high survival rate.
第 6 页 共1 0 页C. To find plants suitable for noisy urban areas.
D. To set more restrictions on urban traffic noise.

Learning how to apologize is similar to learning any new behavior. It may feel awkward and
may not be polished at first. 36 There are several tips that will help you as you
learn how to apologize.
First of all, wait until the right time and you are in the right place. Although public apology is
often appropriate, discretion (谨慎) should be used. 37 Remember, you will be
raising a topic that may recall a bad experience or bad feelings. Be respectful as you approach this
task.
Be direct and brief in your approach. Acknowledge the fact that injury has occurred and then
take responsibility for what happened. Be sincere in expressing your regret and demonstrate your
willingness to take ownership of the situation. 3 8
Even if you follow these steps, be prepared for rejection. Sometimes, the person apologizing has
an expectation that the apology will lead to immediate forgiveness and acceptance. 39
If you think of the offense (冒犯) as an emotional bruise (瘀伤), think of the healing process as the
color changes we see as a bruise heals.
4 0 Knowing when to keep one’s mouth shut is a virtue. Keeping quiet may be
very difficult, as post-apology listening is not easy. We may hear unpleasant observations from
another about our own shortcomings. We may hear the expression of anger. One of the ways we let
others know we are truly responsible and accountable for our mistakes is by listening to the other
party pour out the feelings associated with our actions.
A. Forgiveness and acceptance may take time.
B. To give or receive a good apology is an art.
C. But with practice, everyone can learn to do it.
D. Listening to the response to our apologies is important.
E. Most apologies can and should happen in a private setting.
F. In other words, avoid excuses and offer to repair the damage.
G. Taking responsibility doesn’t mean accepting blame for everything.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My husband Erik and I had promised the kids a Labrador puppy（小狗）.
I’d seen the ad at the local hardware store. “Thirteen puppies in all, ” Sally, the owner, said
when I called. “There’ re only three left.” I decided to take a look the next day. The boys jumped
and shouted excitedly as I copied down directions and hung up the phone.
第 9 页 共1 0 页Early the next morning, still discussing names, we wound our way through the mountains to
meet our family’s new best friend. Our boys had simple names: Ike, Sam, Ben, and Dom, so they
Preferred simple names like Rosy , too. Finally, we met the sweet little dog. “ Rosy, ” the boys
called it softly. Our little puppy cocked her head. “ She likes it,” they cheered and set about
making Rosy comfortable for the long drive home. They offered her a chew toy and lifted her up so
she could see out the window. They took turns holding her in their arms lovingly and offered her a
snack.
Though small, Rosy grew strong and healthy beneath her shiny black coat. And, just as I’d
hoped, she was a calming addition to our houseful of noisy boys. But something was wrong. “It’s
like she doesn’t know how to play,” Sam commented one day after school. “Dogs have different
personalities, just like people,” I said. “Besides, she’s still very young. ” “But her legs aren’t very
long, and one eye is smaller than the other,” Ike added, trying to make sense of why Rosy was
different from other puppies he’d met.
I looked across the room to where Rosy sat between the boys. The last golden rays of autumn
sunshine shone brightly on her face. Sure enough, one eye was misshapen. Not only that, it didn’t
glint (闪光) in the afternoon light. I drew in a breath. Rosy, our puppy with a name as short as her
four little legs, was blind in one eye.
