One young man said that his weekend had not been very good. The young man then proceeded to ask me why I always seemed to be so cheerful.His question reminded me of something I'd read somewhere before: “Every morning when you get up, you have a choice about how you want to approach life that day,” I said to the young man. “I choose to be cheerful.”“Let me give you an example,” I continued. “In addition to teaching here at UNLV, I also teach out at the community college in Henderson. One day a few weeks ago I drove to Henderson. I exited the freeway and turned onto College Drive. But just then my car died. I tried to start it again, but the engine wouldn’t turn over. So I put my flashers on, grabbed my books, and marched down the road to the college.”“As soon as I got there, the secretary in the Provost’s office asked me what had happened. ‘ This is my lucky day’, I replied, smiling.”“Your car breaks down and today is your lucky day?” She was puzzled, “What do you mean?”“I live seventeen miles from here. I replied. My car could have broken down anywhere along the freeway. It didn’t. Instead, it broke down in the perfect place: off the freeway, within walking distance of here. I’m still able to teach my class. And I’ve been able to arrange for the tow truck to meet me after class. If my car was meant to break down today, it couldn’t have been arranged in a more convenient fashion.”21. If you want to be cheerful you should               .A. Try to succeed in doing everythingB. choose to be cheerful every dayC. earn a lot of money by workingD. try to please your boss every day22. The underlined phrase “turn over” in the third paragraph means “           ”.A. roll over               B. stopped suddenly       C. work normally         D. move around23. According to this passage we can infer that the teacher’s car broke down          .A. near UNLV            B. along the highway C. near Henderson        D. near the community college BPassenger pigeons(旅鸽) were the most common birds in all of North America in the 1800s.It was common to see large groups of passenger pigeons—groups that made a sound like a storm.But today,they are extinct because of human behavior.Now,some scientists want to bring passenger pigeons back to life by using new technology and scientific ideas.They call this process de-extinction.De-extinction has not happened yet.It is still just an idea.The process of de-extinction is not easy.First,scientists must collect DNA from the bodies of extinct animals.Then they will put it in the eggs of similar animal species.When these animals become adults,they will have babies.And these baby animals will have the DNA of the extinct animals.Scientists believe it is possible to bring back passenger pigeons and many other animals.However,not everyone thinks this is a good idea.Stuart Primm is the world’s leading expert on modern animal extinction.He believes that bringing extinct animals back to life is bad for the earth.On the one hand,these animals no longer have a safe place to live.On the other hand,they could cause other animals to die.Many other scientists do not agree with Stuart Primm.Stuart Brand,a writer and scientist,is one of them.He believes de-extinction is good for many reasons.“The current generation (当代) of children will experience the return of some unusual animals in their lifetime.It may be part of what defines their generation and their attitude to the natural world.They will take their parents to zoos to see the growing populations of passenger pigeons,and maybe even dodo birds.This will provide a good deal of money for zoos busy with extinct species restoration (恢复).Humans killed off a lot of species over the last 10,000 years.So,it’s right to bring some back to life,” he said.24.In the 19th century,passenger pigeons 　　　. A.were common sightingsB.suffered a lot from stormsC.lived mainly in North AmericaD.were the largest in American history25.What do we know about de-extinction?A.It will change the DNA of the extinct animals.B.It was first used in passenger pigeons.C.It is difficult to carry out.D.It proved to be useful.26.Why is Stuart Primm against bringing back extinct animals?A.They will die very soon.B.They will create other problems.C.They will do great harm to humans.D.They will replace the similar species.27.How does Stuart Brand feel about de-extinction?　　　　　　　　A.Wrong. B.Difficult.C.Important. D.Wasteful. CWhen I was about 10, I was walking down the street with my mother. She stopped to speak to Mr Lee. I knew I could see Mr Lee anytime around the neighborhood, so I just stood there. After we passed him, my mother stopped and said something unforgettable. "You let that be the last time you ever walk by somebody you know without opening your mouth to speak，because even a dog can wag its tail when it passes you on the street. "That sentence sounded simple but it made me become who I am. At work, I used to say hello to the president of the company and ask him how our business was doing. But I also spoke to the people in the cafe and people who cleaned the buildings, and asked them how their children were doing, for every single person deserves to be accepted, no matter how humble(卑微的) they are. I remember that after a few years of passing by the president, I had the courage to ask him for a chat. We had a great talk. At some point, when I asked him how far he thought I could go in his company, he said that if I wanted to, I could get all the way to his seat. I've become vice-president, but that hasn't changed how I treat people. I speak to people wherever I am. Speaking to people creates a pathway into their world, and it lets them come into mine, too. The day you speak to someone who has his head down and then see him lift it up and smile, you will realize how powerful it is just to open your mouth and say hello. 28.What is the best title for this passage?A.The Power of Being TalkativeB.My Mother's Influence on MeC.The Power of Saying HelloD.My Way to Become Vice-president29.What can we learn from the second paragraph?A.The writer didn't say hello to everyone in the company.B.The writer made a very good impression on the president of the company.C.The president of the company thought the writer was much better than him.D.The president of the company actually didn't like the writer at all.30. For the writer, saying hello to others ____.A.is a way to get what he wantsB.has become a habit and a way of lifeC.is a way to show respect for his motherD.is important in making him remembered31. According to Paragraph 3, in the writer's opinion, speaking to others can ____.A.make our world much betterB.make people much happier every dayC.help people understand each other betterD.help people work much better DIn this country we're blessed with All 4, which gives us unlimited access to the shows from all Channel 4 TV channels. I love its free-to-air video-on-demand service. It is really a joy：I'm currently puzzling my way through a very dark Croatian spy series called Guardian of the Castle. I really love watching it.The only downside（缺点） of All 4 is that the film or the show stops every 15 or so minutes and some ads appear. And here’s the thing: you cannot fast-forward them! It's incredibly annoying.As a kid, I used to like watching ads on TV; I think I even started recording them. I remember asking my confused parents if they used a particular oven cleaner, which was called something like the oven pad. It was because in the ad there was a nice cartoon face on the oven cleaner. I fell out of love with ads after an art lesson in middle school. My art teacher, Mr. Courts, said something about them just being a way of getting us to buy things we didn’t really want or need. He had a point. I never felt the same way about them again.Now, it is very painful for me to watch them in the middle of an exciting Croatian spy  series. During the three ad breaks, I forced myself to sit through the other night. There was a Lloyds Bank ad featuring a black horse racing alongside delighted people to the sound of a Carpenters track. It made me want to tie my TV to the tail of a galloping(飞驰的) horse, so I could never watch anything of the sort ever again. However, on the other hand, I know that All 4 offers free service just because it makes profits from ads. As a big fan of All 4, I have to get rid of my dissatisfaction and tolerate its downside since it really offers me films and shows I like.32.What can we know about All 4 from the first two paragraphs?A. Its programs aren't very appealing.B. Its users are charged much for the service. C. Its shows cannot be fast-forwarded.D.Its users are forced to watch ads.33. What did the author think of ads when he was a kid?A.He found them interesting.            B. He thought them quite silly.C. He regarded them as confusing.       D.He considered them misleading.34. What served as a turning point in the author’s attitude toward ads?A.His improvement in cartoon drawing. B. His parents’ purchasing an oven cleaner.C. His recording the oven cleaner advertisement.D. His art teacher’s negative comment on ads.35. What lesson can we get after reading the text?A. Every coin has two sides.B. All rivers run into sea.C. Earn your bread with your sweat.D. A good beginning makes a good ending.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5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佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Travelling feels good. Seeing new places and gaining new experiences make us feel happy.   36   You must have taken a trip away and come back with new ideas in life. Why is this? When you’re travelling, a chemical called dopamine is produced in your brain. Dopamine causes feelings of relaxation, which in turn encourages creativity.However, not many of us can afford the time or money required to travel often.     37     With these changes, you can get the travelling feeling even when you’re in your hometown. Stimulate (刺激) your five senses (sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch). To achieve this, you can try out any new restaurant that opens near you or cook at least one new dish every week.   38     Even if you have walked around your local area thousands of times before, there will be a few back roads you’ve never explored before.   39     This will cause the creative feeling that comes with travelling. Sign up for an evening course or learn an instrument. Along with the intellectual (智力的) stimulation of the new activity, you’ll also get to meet new people, who in themselves can provide you with new ways of looking at the world.Remember that travelling isn’t just about your physical position.   40     Follow the above tips and you can get that travelling feeling every day. A. Try to learn a new skill.B. It’s also a state of mind.C. Go out of your way to experience new sights.D. Actually you should learn to appreciate them.E. Luckily, you can make some changes to your daily life.F. Travelling also makes us come up with new ideas more easily.G. When we get something new, we quickly get used to owning them. 第三部分　语言知识运用(共二节,满分30分)第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。My parents never pushed higher education on me.

A few hours before sunset, Christina and I decided to hike to Acomat Falls, about half a mile into the rainforested mountains near Guadeloupe National Park.Heavy rain began to fall as we arrived at the trailhead, so we decided to wait for five minutes. Sure enough, it stopped and we set off down the muddy path. Expecting to spend no more than an hour at the falls, we wore T-shirts and swimsuits. I carried my phone and camera. We were visiting a well-known spot, so I hadn't told anyone where we were going except Mae, our vacation rental host.We hiked for 15 minutes through mud and roots. After crossing a 10-foot-wide river and walking upstream about 100 yards, we finally reached the falls. It was around 4 p. m. and only one other couple was there. We dove into the green pool and floated on our backs, looking up at the canyon（周围有悬崖峭壁的峡谷） walls.By 4: 30, the other couple had left. We knew we needed to leave, but I was waist-deep in the river trying to photograph the falls. Christina was sitting on a rock. I finally got a good shot-and then she shouted.With a crack like thunder, a wall of brown water rushed over the top of the falls, carrying fragments of trees and plants with it. "Flash flood!" I jumped out of the river immediately and Christina scrambled（爬） barefoot off the rock toward higher ground. We clawed our way up the canyon on all fours. After climbing about 200 feet, we stopped to catch our breath. I looked over my shoulder and saw that the water had risen by about 20 feet. Now we had a different problem: Our car were on the other side of the swollen river. We were stuck.注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。Paragraph 1:Exhausted from the scramble, we started to try the phone.                                                          Paragraph 2:After about ten hours of desperate waiting in the dark, we saw lights across the canyon.
