21、When young, I loved going on trail（小路） runs. It was my favorite way to escape stress. So, when I was back in my hometown after a tough first year of my Ph. D. program, I thought a trail run was just what I needed. But instead of helping me relax, the run did just the opposite.
After I moved to the city for college, where my runs were on flat concrete paths instead of winding dirt trails, I used a GPS watch. When I went on trail runs again in the country, it constantly reminded me of the fact that I wasn’t keeping up with my usual pace. I turned my watch off, thinking that would allow me to enjoy my surroundings and find the peace I expected, but I worried I was underperforming. “Why can’ t I let go and just enjoy myself?” I wondered. But after some introspection（反省）, I realized why I was struggling—both on trail runs and in graduate school.
Going into my Ph. D. , I had thought that my solid undergraduate track record would set me up for instant success. To my surprise, I was wrong. I lacked confidence in my research abilities which I thought stopped me performing well and I constantly felt my progress was too slow. Other students’ self-confidence and their excellent results made me feel insecure. Finally, one day I broke down in tears in my adviser’ s office.
Then came my visit home: I was having trouble because I hadn’ t properly adjusted my expectations to the differences between an urban run and a trail run.
A Ph. D. is like a trail run: Sometimes you can run fast. Sometimes you might find yourself climbing up a steep, winding trail at a snail’ s pace. And that’ s OK. Barriers are unavoidable, and success looks and feels different on a challenging trail than it does on a smooth, flat path. Sometimes it’ s best to take a deep breath and do your best to meet the challenge.
【1】How did the author feel when he was on trail runs again?
A．Relaxed.
B．Tired.
C．Anxious.
D．Happy.
【2】What resulted in the author’ s poor performance in Ph. D
A．His lack of confidence.
B．His lack of hard work.
C．His poor research abilities.
D．His poor track record.
【3】What does the author want to show in the last paragraph?
A．His desire for success.
B．His confidence of trail runs.
C．His expectations in his study.
D．His realization after the trail run.
【4】What does the author want to tell us?
A．Failure is the mother of success.
B．Working out regularly is beneficial.
C．It’ s important to make necessary adjustments.
D．It’ s vital to turn to others for help.
22、The baby is just one day old and has not yet left hospital. She is quiet but alert (警觉). Twenty centimeters from her face researchers have placed a white card with two black spots on it. She stares at it carefully. A researcher removes the card and replaces it by another, this time with the spots differently spaced. As the cards change from one to the other, her gaze (凝视) starts to lose its focus — until a third, with three black spots, is presented. Her gaze returns: she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card. Can she tell that the number two is different from three, just 24 hours after coming into the world?
Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer? The same experiment, but with three spots shown before two, shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes. Perhaps it is just the newness? When slightly older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects (a comb, a key, an orange and so on), changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves. Could it be the pattern that two things make, as opposed to three? No again. Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a screen when their number changed from two to three, or three to two. The effect even crosses between senses. Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats than when they heard just two; likewise (同样地) when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots.
【1】The experiment described in Paragraph 1 is related to the baby’s ________.
A. sense of hearing B. sense of sight
C. sense of touch D. sense of smell
【2】Babies are sensitive to the change in ________.
A. the size of cards
B. the color of pictures
C. the shape of patterns
D. the number of objects
【3】Why did the researchers test the babies with drumbeats?
A. To reduce the difficulty of the experiment.
B. To see how babies recognize sounds.
C. To carry their experiment further.
D. To keep the babies’ interest.
【4】Where does this text probably come from?
A. Science fiction.
B. Children’s literature.
C. An advertisement.
D. A science report.
23、Apps (short for applications) are becoming increasingly popular nowadays, and for good reason. They can help you out in just about every area of your life, whether it's keeping fit, communicating with friends, or even learning a language.【1】Here's what you should think about before downloading an app for language learning.
·Learn from diverse sources(not just apps)
Any seasoned language learner will tell you that the beauty of mastering a foreign language is the world which it opens up to you. This is a world of diverse sources(来源) of information, from newspapers and books to TV, radio, music and even real people. Would you limit yourself to one medium in your native language?【2】
·Establish your purpose and plan your habits
Do you want to be fluent in weeks or are you in it for the brain training? The good apps are designed to help you fit your studies around your timetable.【3】These apps encourage habit building, because the successful formation of a habit ensures your safe and regular return.
·Make it social
【4】I mean social for real. I owe the speed of progress I made in Italian to the support from Jim, my partner in study time. Find a friend to accompany you. Take an evening class. Borrow a book. Buy a book. Book a week away and attend a language school. Just don't forget your phone!
If I may speak sincerely, the combination of app, language school, Jim, evenings out, and a choice book or two proved extremely effective.【5】
A．I recommend it.
B．Remember that an app is just a tool.
C．No, I don't mean posting your progress online.
D．I encourage you to use apps as often as you can.
E．Probably not, so why do so in your new language?
F．The best apps adapt themselves based upon your behavior.
G．However, you need to know how to use them properly to really benefit.
24、 You may ride on your bicycle in a rush to get to school every morning. You may fight to get a bit of space on a bus or on the subway. You may also watch taxis crawl their way through traffic jams.
No matter where you are, all big cities around the world have traffic jams these days. Although they all have their problems, many cities also have a type of transport that has become a cultural icon (文化标识).
In London, to avoid the traffic above ground, people use the “underground”, also called the “Tube”. The city has the oldest and most complicated underground railway system in the world and it is the pride of many Londoners. With 12 lines and 275 stations across the city, the Tube is normally the quickest and easiest way of getting around London. In London, you are never far from a Tube station.
New York is famous for its Yellow cabs. They serve as a quick and easy way of getting across Manhattan, where the subway doesn’t take you everywhere. Stopping a cab is easy, just stick out your arm like what you do in any city. But, with over 12,000 yellow cabs in the Big Apple, they also cause traffic jams.
Since 1873 when the first cable car started public service, the slow and noisy vehicle has been a symbol of San Francisco. Although once damaged by a serious earthquake and challenged by cars, it is never caught in traffic jams and provides better views than the subway.
But there are no such symbols in Los Angeles. If you visit you’d better rent a car. The city’s public transportation is terrible. It can take hours to get across town by bus. The subway covers just a small part of the city centre. The light rail line only runs between the Long Beach hotel area and the city centre. That’s why Angelenos love their private cars more than any other people in the world.
【1】How will you travel if you have a chance to London and want to avoid the traffic jam?
A.Riding a vehicle. B.Taking a taxi.
C.Taking the subway. D.Renting a car.
【2】Which type of transportation has become a cultural icon of the Big Apple?
A.Noisy vehicles. B.Cable cars.
C.The subway. D.Yellow cabs.
【3】Which of the following is not the reason why people in Los Angeles like their private cars?
A.The public transportation is terrible.
B.It is not expensive to take a private car.
C.The underground railway covers a small part of the city center.
D.People have to spend hours getting across Los Angeles by bus.
【4】The passage is mainly about ________.
A.how different the big cities are
B.how to avoid the traffic jams in big cities
C.why London has the oldest and most complicated subway
D.why people call New York the Big Apple

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使其构成一篇完整的短文。
I believe in love. I believe in all the elements from which love is made. And I believe in their combined power.
Four years ago, when we decided to adopt Luke, the people from the orphanage dropped him off and turned to leave. “What are his favorite things?” I yelled. “Noodles,” they replied without even saying goodbye. The boy was nearly six years old, only 28 pounds and his face was crisscrossed with scars. Clearly, he was terrified.
Luke kicked and screamed. I stood between him and the door to keep him from leaving. His cries were painful, animal - like. He had never seen a mirror and tried to escape by running through one. I wound my arms around him so he could not hit or kick. After an hour and a half, he finally fell asleep, exhausted. I called room service. They delivered every noodle dish on the menu. Luke woke up, looked at me and started sobbing again. I handed him chopsticks and pointed at the food. He stopped crying and started to eat. He ate until I was sure he would be sick.
That night we went for a walk. Delighted at the moon, he signed, “What is it?” I said, “The moon. It's the moon.” He reached up and tried to touch it. He cried again when I tried to give him a bath until he started to play with the water. After the bath, I powdered him and clothed him in soft pajamas. Luke was a sad and shy boy for a long time. He always attempted to mask something by keeping his head down and not speaking unless spoken to.
“What should I do?” I repeated to myself until Luke noticed a photo on the wall, in which I was standing out of the orphanage.
注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按下列格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Who is she?” Luke asked.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Now, every little change Luke made has produced a combined power.
