25、选择最佳答案
It seems that Shanghai students are not as happy as they should be. That’s what an article in a local newspaper said some time ago.
The paper did a survey of some students and asked them if they were happy. 60% of the students said they were happy, but almost 40% said they were unhappy! However, when the paper asked deaf students the same question, almost 90% said, yes, they were happy. It’s pretty surprising when you think about it. Those students who have a disability are happier than those “healthier” classmates or schoolmates.
When I asked my students if they were happy, most said yes, but they also said they had a lot of pressure: too much homework, not enough freedom, not enough money. And some worry about the future, such as getting a good job, and finding a good husband or wife. Clearly, some students handle this pressure better than others, and the deaf students seem to handle (处理) the pressure best of all. They don’t let it get them down.
I can only imagine why this is. Maybe it has a lot to do with “overcoming adversity (战胜逆境)”. The deaf students have already had to deal with a big problem in their lives. They can’t hear, so talking to other people is very difficult, if not impossible. To communicate with others, they’ve had to learn sign language. After learning to “sign”, they’ve found new friends and they’ve also found the joy that comes with “overcoming adversity”.
We can all learn a lesson from these deaf students.
【1】The survey in the passage is done by a newspaper in ________.
A.England
B.Beijing
C.Shandong
D.Shanghai
【2】Which of the following is true according to the survey?
A.The number of unhappy students is larger than that of happy ones.
B.Almost 90% students said they were unhappy.
C.All the students who have a disability are happy.
D.Most deaf students feel that they are happy.
【3】The writer of the passage may be a ________.
A.teacher
B.doctor
C.reporter
D.Nurse
【4】The underlined part “get them down” means ________in Chinese.
A.让他们下来
B.写下他们的名字
C.使他们沮丧
D.使他们振作起来
【5】According to the passage, the deaf students are happier than others because ________.
A.they can’t hear anything
B.they found joy that come with “overcoming adversity”
C.it is difficult for them to communicate with others
D.it is impossible for them to talk to others

27、The morning was cold and clear. A yellow bus came around the corner and stopped near a wood (树林). A coach asked the students to get off the bus. Girls began to gather by the starting line. One of them is a young, little girl. She had prepared for this running race for the whole summer. She looked around at the other girls, noticing how she was different.
There was a break in the silence, and everyone started to run. After about twenty-five minutes, every runner finished the race except the girl. She was still running for the next forty minutes. As she came near the finishing line, she saw her parents, classmates and the coach. They shouted her name and told her not to stop until the end. The sweat (汗水) was flowing down her face.
She kept on running until she crossed the line. I was that girl, and that was the first time I had finished a cross-country race (越野赛跑). Finishing this race made me realize that I could do anything with my own strength. After that, I took more hard work to practice running. I was not a natural-born runner, but I want to become one.
