阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。
A
Leslie Nielsen’s childhood was a difficult one,but he had one particular shining star in his life—his uncle,who was a well-known actor.The admiration and respect his uncle earned inspired Nielsen to make a career (职业) in acting.Even though he often felt he would be discovered to be a no-talent,he moved forward,gaining a scholarship to the Neighborhood Playhouse and making his first television appearance a few years later in 1948.However,becoming a full-time,successful actor would still be an uphill battle for another eight years until he landed a number of film roles that finally got him noticed.
But even then,what he had wasn’t quite what he wanted.Nielsen always felt he should be doing comedy but his good looks and distinguished voice kept him busy in dramatic roles.It wasn’t until 1980—32 years into his career—that he landed the role it would seem he was made for in Airplane! That movie led him into the second half of his career where his comedic presence alone could make a movie a financial success even when movie reviewers would not rate it highly.
Did Nielsen then feel content in his career? Yes and no.He was thrilled to be doing the comedy that he always felt he should do,but even during his last few years,he always had a sense of curiosity,wondering what new role or challenge might be just around the corner.He never stopped working,never retired.
Leslie Nielsen’s devotion to acting is wonderfully inspiring.He built a hugely successful career with little more than plain old hard work and determination.He showed us that even a single desire,never given up on,can make for a remarkable life.
21.Why did Nielsen want to be an actor?
A.He enjoyed watching movies.
B.He was eager to earn money.
C.He wanted to be like his uncle.
D.He felt he was good at acting.
22.What do we know about Nielsen in the second half of his career?
A.He directed some high quality movies.
B.He avoided taking on new challenges.
C.He focused on playing dramatic roles.
D.He became a successful comedy actor.
23.What does Nielsen’s career story tell us?
A.Art is long,life is short.
B.He who laughs last laughs longest.
C.It’s never too late to learn.
D.Where there’s a will there’s a way.
B
The Miao Sisters Festival is held every year in Guizhou's Taijiang County，where 97 percent of the 168，000 people there are from the ethnic (民族) Miao group.It is an ancient tradition，which brings men and women together through food，gifts and music.
In the days before the festival，young women gather leaves and wild flowers，which they use to dye (给……染色) sticky rice with bright colours.This brightly coloured rice，known as Sister Rice，gives the festival its name.During the festival，the young women dress in beautiful traditional clothes with large amounts of silver jewelry.
The festival includes parades，horse races and musical performances.But the real focus is the interaction between the young women and the young men who visit from surrounding villages and sing songs.In one traditional type of song，a man and woman take turns singing to each other，and the first one to make a mistake loses the game.The loser must give the winner a gift，but the winner is expected to give a gift in return too.
After meeting the men，the women send them home with a bamboo basket containing dyed rice and hidden objects with special meanings.For example，a pair of chopsticks means she wants to marry the man，while garlic shows that she is not interested.
One of several stories is about the festival's beginning of a girl and a boy who fell in love.The girl's parents wanted her to marry her uncle's son as it was traditional at the time.She refused，and the boy likewise refused to marry anyone else.For a time，they could only meet in a field and pass hidden messages to each other through rice in a bamboo basket.Finally，the pair overcame their parents' opposition and were allowed to marry.
The Miao Sisters Festival is perhaps the oldest festival in Asia that encourages love.
24．What is the purpose of young women collecting leaves and wild flowers?
A．To decorate their rooms.
B．To sell them and make money.
C．To give sticky rice different colours.
D．To cover some objects in a basket.
25．Which of the following is NOT the activity taking place in the festival?
A．Water skiing.　　　 B．Horse races.
C．Parades. D．Singing songs.
26．What can we learn from the passage?
A．A woman often loses the game.
B．A hidden pair of chopsticks suggests good things.
C．The winner need not send a gift.
D．Often a man needs to sing songs to a young woman.
27．What does the story in Paragraph 5 tell us?
A．The boy's parents didn't like the girl.
B．They were not married in the end.
C．The boy refused to marry the girl at first.
D．The rice in the bamboo basket carried their love.
C
On March 7, 1907, the English statistician Francis Galton published a paper which illustrated what has come to be known as the “wisdom of crowds” effect. The experiment of estimation he conducted showed that in some cases, the average of a large number of independent estimates could be quite accurate.
This effect capitalizes on the fact that when people make errors, those errors aren’t always the same. Some people will tend to overestimate, and some to underestimate. When enough of these errors are averaged together, they cancel each other out, resulting in a more accurate estimate. If people are similar and tend to make the same errors, then their errors won’t cancel each other out. In more technical terms, the wisdom of crowds requires that people’s estimates be independent. If for whatever reasons, people’s errors become correlated or dependent, the accuracy of the estimate will go down.
But a new study led by Joaquin Navajas offered an interesting twist (转折) on this classic phenomenon. The key finding of the study was that when crowds were further divided into smaller groups that were allowed to have a discussion, the averages from these groups were more accurate than those from an equal number of independent individuals. For instance, the average obtained from the estimates of four discussion groups of five was significantly more accurate than the average obtained from 20 independent individuals.
In a follow-up study with 100 university students, the researchers tried to get a better sense of what the group members actually did in their discussion. Did they tend to go with those most confident about their estimates? Did they follow those least willing to change their minds? This happened some of the time, but it wasn’t the dominant response. Most frequently, the groups reported that they “shared arguments and reasoned together”. Somehow, these arguments and reasoning resulted in a global reduction in error. Although the studies led by Navajas have limitations and many questions remain, the potential implications for group discussion and decision-making are enormous.
28. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?
A. The methods of estimation. B. The underlying logic of the effect.
C. The causes of people’s errors. D. The design of Galton’s experiment.
29. Navajas’ study found that the average accuracy could increase even if ________.
A. the crowds were relatively small B. there were occasional underestimates
C. individuals did not communicate D. estimates were not fully independent
30. What is the author’s attitude toward Navajas’ studies?
A. Unclear. B. Dismissive. C. Doubtful. D. Approving.

　　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。
Personal Forgiveness
Taking responsibility for mistakes is a positive step, but don’t beat yourself up about them. To err (犯错) is human. ____31____ You can use the following writing exercise to help you do this.
In a journal or on a piece of paper, put the heading “Personal strengths.” ____32____ Are you caring? Creative? Generous? A good listener? Fun to be around? They don’t have to be world-changing, just aspects of your personality that you’re proud of.
At the top of a second page, put the heading “Acts of kindness.” On this one, list all the positive things you’ve done for others. It might be the time when you helped a friend with their homework, when you did the ironing without being asked, or when you baked cookies after the family had had a tiring day. ____33___
You could ask a friend or family member to help add to your list. ____34____ That way, you could exchange thoughts on what makes each of you special and the aspects of your personality that shine through. In fact, don’t wait until you’ve made a mistake to try this — it’s a great way to boost self-confidence at any time.
It’s something of a cliché (陈词滥调) that most people learn not from their successes but their mistakes. The thing is, it’s true. ____35____ We’ re all changing and learning all the time and mistakes are a positive way to develop and grow.
A. A little self-forgiveness also goes a long way.
B. Now list all the characteristics you like about yourself.
C. They might even like to have a go at doing the exercise.
D. It’s just as important to show yourself some forgiveness.
E. It doesn’t mean you have to ignore what’s happened or forget it.
F. Whatever it is, no matter how small it might seem, write it down.
G. Whatever the mistake, remember it isn’t a fixed aspect of your personality.

　　阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
A young and successful manager was traveling down a neighborhood street, going a bit too fast in his new car. He was watching for kids darting (飞奔) between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no children appeared. Instead, a pebble hit violently into the car's side door. He stepped on the brake and backed his car back to the spot where the pebble had been thrown.
The angry driver then jumped out of the car, grabbed the nearest kid and pushed him up against the parked car shouting, “What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing? That's a new car and that pebble you threw is going to cost a lot of money. Why did you do it？”
The young boy was apologetic. “Please, mister ... please, I'm sorry but I didn't know what else to do，” he explained. “I threw the pebble because no one else would stop ...” With tears rolling down his face and off his chin, the boy pointed to a spot just around a parked car. “It's my brother，” he said. “He rolled off the sidewalk and fell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up.” Now sobbing, the boy asked the astonished manager, “Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me.”
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
Moved beyond words, the driver cooled his anger.


The driver watched the boy pushing his wheelchair­bound brother down the sidewalk toward their home.
