（2022·江苏无锡·统考二模）One of Britain’s bravest women told yesterday how she helped to catch suspected(可疑的) police killer David Bieber -- and was thanked with flowers by the police. It was also said that she could be in line for a share of up to ￡30,000 reward money.
Vicki Brown, 30, played a very important role in ending the nationwide manhunt. Vicki, who has worked at
the Royal Hotel for four years, told of her terrible experience when she had to steal into Bieber’s bedroom and to
watch him secretly. Then she waited alone for three hours while armed police prepared to storm the building.
She said: "I was very nervous. But when I opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policemen linedup in the
car park I was so glad they were there.”
The alarm had been raised because Vicki became suspicious(怀疑) of the guest who checked in at 3 pm the
day before New Year’s Eve with little luggage and wearing sunglasses and a hat pulleddown over his face. She said:
“He didn’t seem to want to talk too much and make any eye contact(接触).” Vicki, the only employee on duty,
called her bosses Margaret, 64, and husband Stan McKale, 65, who phoned the police at 11 pm.
Officers from Northumbria Police called Vicki at the hotel in Dunston, Gateshead, at about 11:30 pm to make
sure that this was the wanted man. Then they kept in touch by phoning Vicki every 15minutes.
“It was about ten past two in the morning when the phone went again and a policeman said ‘Would you go and make yourself known to the armed officers outside?’. My heart missed a beat.”
Vicki quietly showed eight armed officers through passages and staircases to the top floor roomand handed
over the key.
“I realized that my bedroom window overlooks that part of the hotel, so I went to watch. I couldnot see into
the man’s room, but I could see the passage. The police kept shouting at the man tocome out with his hands
showing. Then suddenly he must have come out because they shouted for him to lie down while he was handcuffed(带上手铐).”

（2022·江苏无锡·统考二模）Some time ago I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it repaired, as there are a lot of antique (古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception(接待). I was quite wrong. The man wouldn’t even look at my chair.
The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth--so I decided that my approach must be wrong.
I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?” “Twenty pounds,” I said. “OK,” he said, “I’ll give you twenty pounds.” “It’s got a slightly broken leg,” I said. “Yes, I saw that, it’s nothing.”
Everything was going according to my plan and l was getting excited. “What will you do with it?” I asked.
“Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.” “I’ll buy it,” I said. “What do you mean? You’ve just sold it to me,” he said. “Yes, I know but I’ve changed my mind. I am sorry. I’ll give you twenty-seven pounds for it.” “You must be crazy,” he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair.” “You’re right,” I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, ‘Would you repair this chair for me?’” “I wouldn’t have agreed to do it,” he said. “We don’t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I’II repair this for you. Shall we say for five pounds?” He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.
7．We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer_______.
A．was rather impolite B．was warmly received
C．asked the shopkeeper to buy his chair D．asked the shopkeeper to repair his chair
8．The expression "the penny dropped" in the last paragraph means the shopkeeper_______.

9．How much did the writer pay?

（2022·江苏无锡·统考二模）The father’s role in the family is important. One researcher says babies who are cared for by their fathers have greater cognitive (认知的) development at one year of age than babies not cared for by their fathers. Another researcher reports that by spending time with their pre-school children, fathers can help to develop children’s language ability. Researchers also point out that for school-age children, fathers are one bridge with the outside world.
Fathers who value (重视) education have children who do better in school than those children whose fathers don’t value education. What’s more, fathers who spend quality time with their children may give their children happy memories which may last a lifetime.
While each father is a unique person who educates children in his own style, good fathers have something in common.
Good fathers attend their children’s school activities. They also involve the children in their lives and the adult world by taking them to see the workplace, or by taking them when the car needs to be repaired, etc.
Good fathers expect a great deal from their children, but also accept and support the unique individuals (个体) that their children are becoming.
Good fathers prefer explanations and reasoning to force.
Good fathers know their time with children is really an investment (投资) in them.
Being an involved father is good for children and good for fathers. Both children and fathers have the chance for growth and development. Today’s lifestyles are changing. More and more fathers are keeping a balance between their personal life, work, and family time.

（2022·江苏无锡·统考二模）The wind tried pushing Colin to the ground. It felt as if Colin’s news-bag was full of potatoes.
Maybe it had to do with the news Dad read before Colin left. The morning headlines（标题）were full of the usual sad stories.
“No good news again!” Dad said.
Car accidents! House burns! Storm damage（损害）!
Colin moved quickly from house to house leaving papers in the mailbox. He wished he could bring only good news to his family, also to his friendly neighbours. “How could I make things better for everyone?” he wondered.
Colin noticed Alice coming. She only had one real eye. The other was made of glass. He liked Alice even if many others laughed at her. He didn’t realize how much it helped her, having a friend like Colin.
Each time Colin left a paper by a customer’s door, he thought, “How could I make some good news?”
Colin gave his usual cheerful “Hi” to everyone on his way. His smile was like the rising sun.
Someone was crying and he ran to where a little boy had fallen and hurt his leg. Colin calmed him down until the boy’s mother arrived.
“I’m glad you’re my paperboy,” she told Colin.
He continued on his way, but he didn’t feel tired. It was fun doing what he usually did—helping others.
He raced up the street to his last customer. Mrs. Williams saw Colin coming and had peanut butter cookies as a treat for her favourite paperboy. She wondered why such a lively boy always had time to chat with an old lady.

（2022·江苏无锡·统考二模）D

Do you and your friends ever talk about your dreams with each other? If you do, you might have noticed something interesting – some of your friends seldom remember their dreams, but some can always describe their dreams so clearly that it seems like they’re describing things that really happened to them. What makes those people different?
The answer is simple. There are two different types of dreamers – low dream recallers（回忆者）and high dream recallers.
Low dream recallers usually remember their dreams only twice a month. But high dream recallers are able to remember them about five mornings a week. And a new study suggests that activity in a certain part of the brain could have something to do with it, reported The Huffington Post.
Perrine Ruby, a French researcher at the Lyon Neuroscience Research Center, studied 41 people (21 high dream recallers and 20 low dream recallers) and recorded their brain activity.
She found that a part of the brain called the temporo-parietal junction (颞顶联合区) was more active in high dream recallers than in low dream recallers – both when they were sleeping and awake.
This brain area collects and processes（编程）information from the outside world. This means that high dream recallers know more about what’s happening around them. For example, when they are awake, they respond (对……有反应) more strongly to hearing their own names, and when they are sleeping, they are woken more easily by sounds and movements.
By closely studying people’s brain activities, Ruby found that high dream recallers have twice as much “wakefulness time” during sleep as low dream recallers do. And it is during these short times of wakefulness that the brain remembers dreams.
“The sleeping brain is not able to remember new information,” Ruby told The Washington Post. “It needs to wake up to be able to do that.”
This is not hard to understand. Just try to think of your own sleeping experiences. If you are worried during the night, you are more likely to remember your dreams, but if you sleep well, you will remember little in the morning, and this is because “you never get a chance to remember”, Robert Stickgold, a Harvard Medical School researcher, told The Washington Post.
24．According to the article, high dream recallers ______.
A．have very little brain activity during sleep
B．can remember their dreams clearly
C．don’t know how to describe their dreams
D．remember their dreams twice a week
25．Compared to high dream recallers, low dream recallers ______.
A．have higher sleep quality
B．have more sleepless nights
C．are more easily woken at night
D．respond faster when hearing their names
26．What is the main purpose of the last paragraph?
A．To show the advantages of being a low dream recaller.
B．To suggest what to do to become a low dream recaller.
C．To make readers interested in future studies.
D．To further explain Ruby’s research.

（2016·江苏无锡·统考二模）As a teacher, my daily life includes driving to a new school so I’m usually unable to anticipate (预料) the day’s events, good or bad!
One day, I was teaching in a very difficult classroom. I was managing behavior all morning and by lunch time, I knew I needed coffee to even consider surviving the afternoon. So on my lunch break, I drove to a coffee shop nearby to get a cup of coffee. While returning to the car I realized I had locked my keys and my phone inside! I had about 15 minutes to get back to the school which was a good 4- or 5- minute drive away. I considered rushing back, but it being winter, I thought a fall on ice would only make the situation much worse.
So I ran into a McDonald’s and asked the man at the counter (柜台) who happened to be the manager to please call me a taxi. I explained my situation to him, and I could tell by the look in his eyes, that he took pity. He hurried to the back to use the phone while I walked in the restaurant. I had less than 10 minutes to get back to my school at this point.
The manager returned only to tell me that the taxi company had put him on hold and then the line got disconnected, and that he was now on hold again, but had not yet been able to ask for the taxi yet.
Without a thought, he caught his coat and offered to drive me to the school. Immediately I followed him into his car and made it back into my classroom with 2 minutes left before the bell!
While arriving at the school, I thanked this man endlessly. His calm behavior and kind nature made me think he was probably a wonderful manager to work for, and also a wonderful human being to have on his earth. This experience makes me realize that out of every hopeless situation, there is the chance for acts of kindness to happen, which can create an unimaginable impression to those who receive them.
33．Why did the writer want to get a cup of coffer?
A．Because he was very thirsty at that time.
B．Because he was only interested in drinking coffee.
C．Because he had to make himself fresh for the classes in the afternoon.
D．Because he wanted to do something special to pass the whole afternoon.
34．The writer _______ so he gave up the idea of going back to school on foot when he found his keys and phone were locked inside the car.
A．was too tired to walk further B．was afraid of falling down on ice
C．asked the manager to call him a cab D．decided to take a school bus
35．The writer has probably stayed in the McDonald’s for about ______.
A．15 minutes B．8-9 minutes C．4-5 minutes D．2 minutes

（2016·江苏无锡·统考二模）Our environment is being polluted faster. Man’s present efforts cannot prevent it .Time is bringing us more people, and more people will bring us more industry, more cars, larger cities and the growing use of man-made materials.

So we seem to be ready to give up everything: clear air, pure water, good food, our health and the future of our children. Large numbers of people are moving from the countryside into the cities, looking forward to the modern life. But as our world has developed so fast in the last twenty years, pollution has become a serious problem.
Isn’t it time for us to stop to ask ourselves where we are going-----and why? It makes one think of the story about the airline pilot who was heard over the loudspeaker, “I’ve some good news and some bad news. The good news is that we’re flying at 530 miles per hour. The bad news is that we’re lost and don’t know where we’re going.” The sad fact is that this becomes a true story when we talk about our modern society.(社会)

41．The story about the airline pilot tells us that______________.

（2016·江苏无锡·统考二模）Every summer morning, I know I am going to my favourite place to volunteer and make a difference in someone’s life just by being with him or her-----a summer school for children with autism(孤独症)。
By helping the kids read or do math, I am not only teaching important skills but also helping them feel like any other kid. There are many wrong ideas about autism. The kids I work with can think and feel. They need help only in certain areas.
Of course, each kid is special. For example, some kids like to draw, and others like to sing.
At the school, the kids learn through about 20 activities. These activities can help them learn skills they will need later in life.
The very first day I volunteered, a boy came up to me, put his hand on my shoulder and said “Hello.” From then on, I knew I could make a difference.
Another boy loved to have me read books that can help him learn to read. Sometimes he could be encouraged to read a few words or sentences. Finally, one day during reading practice, he read nearly 220 words himself!
Summer school is also a time for fun. Last summer, bagpipe(风筝)players came to perform. Most of us had our hands over our ears because they were so loud. When they asked for a volunteer from the audience, one girl raise her hand as high as she could, got up on stage and even tried the bagpipes in front of everyone.
Through these experiences, I realize that the challenges these kids face do not stop them from doing many amazing things. I’m teaching them, but they are teaching me as well.

A．can’t read or do math
B．don’t have important skills

Later that afternoon, a police officer stopped by to ask my father if the hospital could use Mother’s corneas(角膜). I was shocked. “The doctors want to dissect Mum and give her away to other people!” I thought as I ran into the house in tears.
“How can you let them do that to her?” I screamed at my father. “My mum came into this world in one piece and that is how she should go out.”
“Linda,” Father said quietly, putting his arm around me, “the greatest gift you can give is a part of yourself. Your mother and I decided long ago that if we can make a difference in just one person’s life after we die, our death will have meaning.” He went on to explain they had both decided to donate their organs(器官).
The lesson my father taught me that day became one of the most important in my life.
Years passed. I married and had a family of my own. In 1980, my father became seriously ill and moved in with us. He cheerfully told me that when he died, he wanted me to donate his eyes. “Sight is one of the greatest gifts a person can give,” he said.
I told Wendy what her grandpa had said, and with tears in her eyes, she went into her grandpa’s room and gave him a big hug. She was only fourteen years old—the same age at which I was introduced to such a thing. What a difference!
My father died on April 11,1986, and we donated his eyes as he had wanted. Three days later, Wendy said, “Mum, I’m so proud of you for what did for Grandpa.”
At that moment, I realized that my father gave much more than his eyes.

A．Easy B．Possible C．Simple D．Difficult

After that, we went on down the river. It was very dark that night and it wasn’t easy to see where we were going. Suddenly, a big steamboat came at us very fast, and the next minute it was right over us. Jim and I jumped off the raft (木筏) into the water. The boat hit the raft and went on up the river.
When I came up out of the water, I couldn’t see Jim anywhere. I called out his name again and again, but there was no answer. “He’s dead!” I thought. Slowly, I swam to the side of the river and got out. I saw that I was near a big old wooden house. Suddenly a lot of very angry dogs jumped out at me. They made a terrible noise and someone called from the house, “Who’s there?”
“George Jackson,” I answered quickly. “I’ve fallen off a river boat.”
Well, the people who lived in that house were very kind, and they took me in and gave me some new clothes and a good meal. I told them that my family were all dead, so they said I could stay with them as long as I wanted. It was a beautiful house and the food was good there, so I stayed.
A few days later one of the slaves in the house came to me and said, “Come with me!” Together, we went down to some trees by the river. “In there!” he said and went away.
On the ground, I found a man, asleep. It was Jim! I was really pleased to see him. When the steamboat hit the raft, Jim told me, the raft didn’t break up. Jim swam after it and caught it. Then he began to look for me.
We decided to leave at once. It’s all right living in a house for a little while, but you feel more free and easy and comfortable on a raft.

In Europe, small cars have always been more popular than large cars. In the United States, large cars and midsize cars are more popular than smaller cars. As a result, European automakers used to make different kinds of small cars while American automakers used to build bigger, heavier cars. However, these days, automakers in both America and Europe produce cars of different sizes. This is because most automakers sell their cars all over the world.
The price of gasoline (汽油) is one reason for differences in car choices. Since gasoline is more expensive in Europe, many Europeans want smaller, lighter cars that will travel a long way on a gallon (加仑) of gasoline.
Other reasons also enter into the big or little car decision. Many European cities have narrow, winding (弯曲的) streets. In these cities a small car is easier to control than a large one.
For a long time, few Americans bought small cars. Instead they chose large cars, because these roomy cars were more comfortable for large families and long trips. Some people also liked the powerful engines (发动机) that large cars had. Since gasoline was cheap, drivers did not mind that the large cars used a lot of gasoline.
But in the 1970s, there were gasoline shortages in the United States. The price of gasoline went up. Though large cars were still more popular than smaller cars, sales of small cars  increased. Some people also bought small cars because these cars caused less air pollution than larger cars.
Today, Americans’ car choices are still changing. Though Americans are still buying many small cars, the fastest growing sales are for certain kinds of large cars. These types of cars are called minivans and sport utility vehicles (SUV). They are very popular today. But of course, that could change tomorrow.
56．Which of the following does the article lead you to believe?
A．Sport utility vehicles are small cars.
B．Minivans are becoming less popular.
C．European car companies sell many cars in America.
D．Cars with powerful engines caused less air pollution.
57．What does the word “roomy” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A．having much space B．having little space
C．having a large room D．having a small room
58．What can we infer (推断) from the article?
A．Small cars are better than large cars.
B．The price of gasoline is always rising.
C．Large cars will always be popular in the United States.
D．People like to have different kinds of cars to choose from.

（2022·江苏无锡·统考二模）Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive(欺骗)? When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can give you a false picture．
For example, someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery(彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”
This guy is a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought $ 200 worth of tickets, and only one was a winner. He’s really a big loser!
He didn’t say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. That’s called a half-truth. Half truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.
Some officers often use this trick. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she tries another term. One of the persons who don’t support her says, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” That’s true. However, an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.’’
Advertisers will sometimes use half—truths. It’s against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might say, “Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache. ”It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.
This kind of thing happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.
59．We may infer that the author believes people should ________.
A．buy lottery tickets if possible
B．make use of half—truths
C．be careful about what they are told
D．not trust the Yucky Company

（2015·江苏无锡·统考二模）Now， everybody is taking selfies. From your best friend to your favourite pop star， selfies are taking over Facebook and Sina Weibo. The word “selfie” was even named Word of the Year by Oxford Dictionaries in 2013. But why do people feel the need to take them? And are they doing us more harm than good?
According to some scientists， humans have an area in their brain that controls social activity. Receiving ‘LIKE’ on a selfie you have posted online can be the same as someone stopping you in the street and speak highly of you on your appearance.
The act of taking a selfie also puts you in a position of power. You are the director and the subject of your own work of art. It helps people feel in control of their appearance and can be a powerful tool.
But can it go too far? Scientists warn that too much time spent on selfies can influence people’s confidence， especially in teenagers. If you are spending a lot of time choosing the perfect selfie clothes， then there could be a problem.
At the same time， posting selfies online can harm your personal relationships. UK studies found that many people find it hard to talk to people who are often posting selfies online.
So next time you want to use your smartphone(智能手机) to take a quick selfie， it may be better to drop it straight back into your pocket.
66．What does the underlined word ‘selfies’ mean?

（2015·江苏无锡·统考二模）Who could forget those sleepless nights last summer watching Germany beat Brazil(巴西) and Argentina(阿根廷) to win the 2014 World Cup in Brazil?
It was their fourth World Cup， and it gave them the No.1 position in FIFA(国际足联). Germany is becoming the most important soccer team in the world. But how has this change happened? A newspaper offers a clue： “For over 10 years， German teams have been building in the right way.”
After Germany scored only one goal at the 2000 European Championships， Germans wondered why the country no longer produced good young players. So in 2001， the German Football League required that all Bundesliga (德甲) clubs set up schools with youth teams from Under-12s to Under-23s.
The clubs now spend over €100 million (764 million yuan) on youth development every year. And they have improved young German players enough to put them among the best in Europe. For example， Bayern Munich(拜仁慕尼黑队) player Thomas Mueller， 25， who scored five times at the 2014 World Cup， was educated in one of the schools.
More than anything， though， it is team work that has pushed the Bundesliga forward. Bayern is the richest team in Germany， but the team helps its rivals (竞争者) when needed.
Through the country’s World Cup performances(赛事)， the German soccer tradition is doing better than ever. Germany can play on top of the world for a few years yet.
69．What is the passage mainly about?
A．Why soccer is so popular in Germany？
B．What has made Germany a successful soccer team.

（2015·江苏无锡·统考二模）Many people think that the ideas about right and wrong are only personal ideas. Bennett wrote The Book of Virtue (美德) in which he suggested that great moral (道德的) stories can build character. The success of Bennett’s book shows that many Americans still believe in moral values， just like honesty， courage， loyalty and many others.
For Americans， one basic moral value is honesty. The story about George Washington and the cherry tree teaches this value clearly. Little George cut down his father’s favourite cherry tree. When his father asked him about it， George said， “I did it.” Instead of punishment， his father spoke highly of him. Sometimes American honesty--being open and direct--can make people angry. But Americans still believe that “honesty is the best virtue”.
Another virtue is perseverance (毅力). A story tells of a little train climbing a hill. The hill is too high to get over it. But the train just kept pulling， all the while saying， “I think I can， I think I can.” At last， the train was over the top because he did not give up.
Compassion(同情) may be the queen of American virtues. The story of “The Good Samaritan” from the Bible describes a man with compassion. On his way home， he found a poor traveler lying on the road. The kind man， instead of just passing by， stopped to help this person in need.
Compassion can even turn into a good cycle. In 1992， people in Iowa sent plenty of water to help Floridians(佛罗里达州人) hit by storms. The next summer， during the Midwest flood， Florida returned. Millions of Americans are quietly passing along the kindness shown to them.
In no way can this book cover all the moral values honored (以…为荣) by Americans. But moral virtues are priceless， and they are the base of American culture and any culture.
72．How many virtues Americans have are mainly talked about in the passage?
A．Six. B．Five. C．Four. D．Three.

B．some people think Americans go back to traditional moral values
C．Americans have many other moral virtues such as courage， loyalty， confidence.

（2015·江苏无锡·统考二模）I have a neighbor we call “Happy”. I have never seen her angry at anything and never heard her say a harsh (苛刻) word to anyone or about anyone.
Happy and her husband Ben, 70, have a huge garden. They spent many happy hours together working on it. Most of the neighbors watched interestingly as Ben doubled the size of their garden. As the cost of food climbed faster than Ben’s beans, we all wished we also had such a large garden. As the rest of us spent our dollars at the market, Happy could be seen picking beans in her back yard.
Last month, Happy and Ben invited most of the neighborhood over for an “all-day food fest”. We were told to bring gloves and arrive very early in the morning. We didn’t know what was about to take place.
By 9:00 am, there were nine of us in the garden picking tomatoes, beans, okra, and squash. By 10:00 am, there was lots of laughter. We shared a lot of stories. By five o’clock, everyone was a little drunk from the wine and beer. After dinner, we played games. As we were leaving, Happy and Ben handed each of us a shopping bag filled with the bounty（收成）of the day, already packaged and frozen. What a delightful gift!
Well, the point wasn’t so much about the food. The true gift was a day of friends enjoying one another’s company. None of it would have happened if it had been for Happy and Ben’s garden.

（2015·江苏无锡·统考二模）F. Scott Fitzgerald, born on September 24, 1896, an American novelist, was once a student of St. Paul Academy, the Newman School and attended Princeton University for a short while. In 1917 he joined the army and was posted in Alabama, where he met his future wife Zelda Sayre. Then he had to make some money to impress her.
His life with her was full of great happiness, as he wrote in his diary “My own happiness in the past often got such joy that I could share it even with the person dearest to me but had to walk it away in quiet streets and take down parts of it in my diary.”
This side of paradise, his first novel, was published in 1920. Encouraged by its success, Fitzgerald began to devote more time to his writing.

But his greatest success was the novel The Great Gatsby, published in 1925, which quick brought him praise from the literary world. Yet it failed to give him the needed financial（财政的） security(安全，保障). Then, in 1926, he published another collection of short stories All the Sad Young Men.

（2015·江苏无锡·统考二模）When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺点). Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn’t a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.
He listened to me quietly, then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”
I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good number I could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to fairly clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it. “That’s just for you.” he said, “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”

（2015·江苏无锡·统考二模）If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?
According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.
The study also found the effect is greater when the younger people learn a second language. A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.
Scans showed that grey matter density (密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference.
“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists.
It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.
Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible (灵活的),” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”
The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of two and thirty-four. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.
85．The main subject talked about in this passage is ________.
A．science on learning a second language B．man’s ability of learning a second language
C．that language can help brain power D．language learning and maths study
86．The underlined word “bilingual” probably means _______.
A．a researcher on language learning B．a second language learner
C．a person who can speak two languages D．an active language learner
87．We may know from the scientific findings that ________.
A．the earlier you start to learn a second language, the higher the grey matter density is
B．there is no difference between a later second language learner and one who doesn’t know a second language
C．the experience of learning a second language has a bad effect on people’s brain
D．the ability of learning a second language is changing all the time
88．In the last two paragraphs, the author wants to tell us that _________.
A．learning a second language is the same as studying maths
B．early learning of a second language helps you a great deal in studying other subjects
C．Italian is the best choice for you as a second language
D．you’d better choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second language

（2015·江苏无锡·统考二模）The dodo was a ground nesting(筑巢), flightless bird. An adult dodo could grow to a height of about a meter and weigh between 45-50 pounds. The natural habitat of this kind of bird lay in the forest of Mauritius.
Seed(种子) and fruits that were found in the forest were the main food of the dodo birds. As they could easily get the food they required in the forest, they didn’t need to fly. As time went by, they finally lost the ability to fly. It turned out to be a major disadvantage for dodos, as they were left with no ability to protect themselves against human beings’ attacks in their natural habitat, which drove this kind of bird to extinction(灭绝).
The extinction of the dodo started in 1505, when Portuguese sailors set their foot on the Island of Mauritius. Before this, the dodo didn’t face any danger. People began to hunt them. It was not long before animals, like cats, pigs and monkeys, were also introduced to the island by humans. When ships arrived, the rats on these ships came onto the land. Though these animals were not able to attack huge dodos, it was easy for them to attack dodos’ nests on the ground. These animals continued to feed on dodo eggs.
The dodo became a relatively(相对地) rare bird in Mauritius at the beginning of the 17th century, and became extinct in the end. The last reported sighting of a dodo was in 1681.
92．Why did the dodo lose its ability to fly?
A．Because it liked walking on the ground.

（2015·江苏无锡·统考二模）Several times each year the Queen gives afternoon tea parties at which guests are served tiny cakes filled with cream from her own cows. Cakes and sandwiches are bought in by footmen, yet you never see the Queen touch a thing. She simply sits beside a big silver plate, pouring cups of tea for everyone and carefully avoiding the cakes.
At cocktail parties the Queen moves from group to group, chatting informally, and manages to make one glass of diet drink to last a whole evening. Tours abroad are difficult because hosts seem to believe the warmth of their welcome must be shown with wonderful state banquets(宴). But the Queen has perfected the art of appearing to enjoy her meal without actually eating much. During one visit to the Pacific islands of Tonga, a specially-prepared dinner was set up in a hut made of wood and bamboo leaves. Deep holes were dug in the ground, filled with hot stones and baby pigs, and the pigs were slowly cooked with dry heat over several days. The Queen looked uneasily at her plate when she discovered a whole roast(烤) pig was her serving.
Then she became uneasy when a turkey, some meat, bananas and an apple were also carried in for each guest. So she depended on her old favourite trick of talking with her host, King Tupou IV, carrying on a warm conversation. At the same time she pushed her food around her plate and only ate a piece of turkey and some fruit.
Reporters traveling with her have noticed that the Queen will sometimes seem so interested in a foreign leader’s political(政治的) chat that she simply never has time to finish a meal before it is time to get up and make her speech. She will lift her fork, then put it down again to make another point, leaving almost all of her meal untouched.
95．The Queen talked with her host and carried on conversation with him. The purpose of  doing this is ________.
A．to show her politeness
B．not to eat much
C．to show her great interest in food
D．to hide her dislike to the food
96．We can infer(推断) from the passage that tours are difficult for the Queen, because ________.
A．she has to meet with so many important leaders
B．she has to eat much oily food
C．hosts always give wonderful state banquets
D．she has so many reporters to travel with her
97．What probably is the Queen’s art of acting at state dinners?
A．Appearing to enjoy her meal without actually eating much.
B．Drinking much water.
C．Eating a piece of turkey and some fruit.
D．Eating much without being noticed.

（2015·江苏无锡·统考二模）A popular saying goes, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” However, that’s not really true. Words have the power to cheer us up or let us down. It doesn’t matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves — the positive and negative (正面和负面) influences are just as lasting.
We all talk to ourselves sometimes. We’re usually too shy to admit(承认) it, though. In fact, we really shouldn’t be because more and more scientists believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.
This “self-talk” helps us make ourselves active, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. It is said that as much as 77% of self-talk is likely to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. ______________________________ The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying “Good job!”
Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the influence they will have. But we should realize that our words cause certain influence in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the salesperson will probably answer in a similar manner. Otherwise you may get into trouble.
Words have power because of their lasting influences. Many of us feel sorry for something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it true? Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid.
Words have power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-confidence and encourage others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to cure? The choice is ours.
98．There is no need for us to feel shy when we talk to ourselves because ________.
A．almost everybody has the habit of talking to themselves
B．talking to ourselves always gives us courage
C．we may gain quite a few advantages of talking to ourselves
D．it does no harm to have “self-talk” when we are alone
99．The underlined part in the third paragraph means that we should also ________ in time.
A．remind ourselves
B．praise ourselves
C．make ourselves relaxed
D．give ourselves fun
100．The writer would probably hold the view that ________.
A．it is better to think twice before talking to others
B．negative words may encourage us to make more progress
C．people prefer to remember friendly words
D．encouraging words are sure to lead to kind offers
101．In which column(版面) of the newspaper can you most likely read this passage?
