20.Most students,when asked about their ideal graduation gift,would probably reply,"A car",or"Money for a deposit on a house".Cai Kaiyuan,21,made a different choice.As a graduation gift to himself,he decided to work as a volunteer teacher in a remote village in Tibet.
Cai,a senior majoring in electrical engineering at Huan Railway Professional Technology College,originally planned to cycle from Sichuan to Tibet.During his journey,Cai's idea for a different graduation gift to himself began to take shape."I did not know beforehand what the journey would mean to me.I just want to gain a unique experience and have pleasure in appreciating the view there,"he said.
It turned out cycling on a plateau (高原) was extremely challenging.And it has kept changing his outlook on life.Cai's fingers even became frostbitten while cycling up a 5008-meter-high mountain,where temperatures often dropped to 18 below zero.At night,the ice covered the road and he fell off his bike three times.The lack of oxygen made him feel dizzy and weak."At the most serious moment,I felt that my life was on the line,"said Cai.
However,he also gained something unexpected.At Ya'an,a city in Sichuan,he met a group of tourists who are also university students.A girl called Wu Ling told him that she planned to work as a teacher in a primary school in Tibet after her journey.He was impressed by the idea as she looked slender and weak.
It was not until he reached a family-run hotel in Shigatse that Cai's spirits began to rise.The hotel manager's two daughters enjoyed talking with him.The kids asked about his experiences on his trip,and showed him the beautiful local lakes."They told me that they always liked to talk to guests,as they wanted to improve their Mandarin,"he said,"Their parents and many locals can only speak Tibetan."
Cai was touched by the girls'story.Their situation is tough and the local people have little chance to learn Mandarin because the schools are short of teachers."I want to do something to improve the situation for kids like them,"said Cai.His parents finally gave their agreement and his teachers also supported him.
21.According to the passage,Cai Kaiyuan's graduation gift to himself isD.
A.to have money for a deposit on a house      
B.to travel by cycling from Sichuan to Tibet
C.to own a new car and marry a slender girl

B.introduce a dangerous journey to us
C.give advice on how to travel to Tibet        
D.encourage us to be a teacher in Tibet
24.Which of the followings is NOT the reason for Cai to make his decision?B
A.He met Wu Ling and was impressed by her plan.
B.His parents and teachers persuaded him to go to Tibet.
C.He was moved by the kid's desire to improve their Mandarin.

17.There are several reasons why cats climb trees,mostly to do with defensive purposes.Cats,as predators(捕食者),like to understand their environment well.Cats climb trees to get a better view of their surroundings,to help them see any potential prey(被捕食者).
While cats are predators,they can also be easily attacked by larger animals.A tree often provides a safe hiding place.In the wild,cats climb up trees to give them a resting place that is out of predators'range.It also helps disguise their presence,which can prevent any prey from noticing that there is a cat nearby.
Sometimes some cats may climb trees for fun,or possibly to work on improving their climbing abilities.Kittens(小貓) frequently test out their claw skills by trying to climb up everything,from bookcases to trees to a person's leg.Climbing practice is good for cats; it can improve their strength and flexibility and teach them an important defensive skill.To prevent them from practicing indoor climbing of your furniture,however,owners may wish to buy a carpeted cat tree for climbing.
If a cat has gotten up a tree and cannot get down,the owner may wonder why its remarkable climbing abilities only work in one direction.A cat's claws curve(彎曲) inward,allowing it to take hold of surfaces while going up head first.Unfortunately,this useful climbing curve does nothing to help the animal get back down again.Eventually,most trapped kittens will either jump out of the tree or realize that they can get down by going tail first.Either way,a cat up a tree is usually nothing to panic about unless it is injured; they are intelligent animals and will find out how to get down sooner or later.
32.In most cases,cats climb trees in order toC.
A.have fun      
B.seek food     
C.defend themselves    
D.please their owners
33.What does the underlined word"disguise"in Paragraph mean?D
A.Find out      
B.Focus on      
C.Make clear          
D.Cover up
34.Why do people want to buy carpeted cat trees?B
A.To train their cats in climbing        
B.To help protect their furniture.
C.To improve their cats'claw skill.
D.To keep their cats warm in winter.
35.Seeing your cat up a tree,you are supposed toA.
A.just take it easy                  
B.lead it down slowly
C.feed some food to it at once        
D.keep an eye on it all the time.

11.Of the many influences on human behavior,social influences are the most widespread.The main influence on people is people.When we hear the words social influence,most of us think of deliberate attempts of someone to persuade us to change our actions or opinions.The TV ad comes to mind.But many of the most important forms of social influence are unintentional,and some of the effects we humans have on one another occur as a result of the simple fact that we are in each other's physical presence.
    In 1898a psychologist named Triplett made an interesting observation.In looking over speed records of bicycle racers,he noticed that better speed records were obtained when cyclists raced against each other than when they raced against the clock.This observation led Triplett to perform the first controlled laboratory experiment ever conducted in social psychology.He instructed children to turn a wheel as fast as possible for a certain period of time.Sometimes two children worked at the same time in the same room,each with his own wheel; at other times,they worked alone.The results confirmed his theory:Children worked faster in coaction,that is,when another child doing the same thing was present,than when they worked alone.
    Soon after Triplett's experiment on coaction,it was discovered that the mere presence of a passive audience rather than a coactor was enough to help performance.This was discovered accidentally in an experiment on muscular (肌肉的) effort and tiredness by Meumann in 1904,who found that subjects lifted a weight faster and farther whenever the psychologist was in the room.Later experiments have confirmed this audience effect.
    It appears that coaction and audience effects in humans are caused by the person's concerns about competition and the evaluation of performance that others will make.We learn as we grow up that others praise or criticize,reward or punish our performances,and this raises our drive level when we perform before others.Thus,even the early studies of coaction found that if all elements(要素)of competition are removed,coaction effects are greatly reduced.Similarly,audience effects are a function of the subject's interpretation of how much he is being evaluated.

63.Why does the writer mention"the TV ad"in Paragraph 1?D
A.To explain the importance.
B.To make a comparison.
C.To start a new topic.
D.To give an example.
64.According to the passage,Triplett's experiment of 1898A.
A.supported his idea of coaction effect
B.challenged his idea of coaction effect
C.showed children turned a wheel faster with audience around
D.proved cyclists race harder against each other than against the clock
65.According to the writer,which of the following would be an example of coaction effect?C
A.A woman works harder when the boss is in the room than when she is alone.
B.Joe works more slowly when he is together with friends than when he is alone.
C.Players work harder when they exercise together than when they each exercise alone.
D.Bob's two children finish their homework faster when he is watching than when he is not.
66.Which is the best title for the passage?B
A.Coaction Makes Faster
B.Social Influence
C.An Interesting Observation
D.Effect of Audience Presence.

8.A team of researchers in the UK has shown that children who were taken to the library more often and owned more books at two years old achieved higher scores in school tests when they began primary school.The research also showed that although social background has a noticeable effect on a child's readiness for school,attending pre-school and having their parents teach them a wide range of activities have a positive effect---while extended exposure to television lowers their scores.
"One message coming through loud and clear is that how a child learns in his very early years is critical(至關(guān)重要的) for a smooth transition into the educational system,"said Professor James Law."This is a very positive message,as it gets us away from the belief that a child's educational future is pre-determined by standard measures of socio-economic disadvantage,such as income,housing,or the mother's education."
Data from the study shows that children from a positive communication environment had a better expressive vocabulary by their second birthday.These children went on to achieve higher scores in language,reading and maths tests when they entered school.In the early years,the communication environment was a better predictor of children's success with language than their general social background.
Most children develop speech and language effortlessly,but some are slow to acquire these skills and go on to struggle with literacy(讀寫(xiě)能力) and academic skills throughout their schooling.This project set out to uncover what factors contributed to these problems.
Professor Sue Roulstone said,"These findings are an encouragement to all parents to provide a positive communication environment for their children from the very start of their lives.The project did identify particular aspects of the communication environment,such as having children's books around and not having the television on too much.But the main message is that,as parents,we can have an impact on how our children learn to talk by providing a range of communication experiences.And the better our children are at talking by the age of two years,the better they will do when they start school."

71.According to the passage,what is the most important factor contributing to children's success at school?D
A.Their general social background.
B.Being taken to a library as early as possible.
C.Being involved in various activities.
D.Their communication environment.
72.From the research,Professor James Law concluded thatB.
A.children could naturally have a smooth transition into the educational system
B.the very early years had a big effect on children's school performance
C.communication with children after they were over two years old was more effective
D.children's educational future was pre-determined by their parents'social position
73.The study shows that two-year-old children who have a positive communication environment do better inD.
A.maths  B.reading  C.writing  D.speaking
74.What is implied in the passage?A
A.The research could help children who suffer from learning difficulties.
B.Parents should take their children to school as early as possible.
C.Teachers should teach children how to communicate with their parents.
D.Children who have good language abilities will not have difficulties in class.

There was a car in front of us before we reach next to him.I had prepared money in my hand to give it to him,and I was looking at the car in front of us when the driver took a bill of money and threw it off the window-he threw it in the face of the old man and it fell on the ground,in a wet spot.The old man looked at the bill with a sad look,knowing it would take him an enormous effort to pick it up and he was hardly standing up,so I opened the car door,ran to him as he was bending to pick it up,took it,wiped it with my jeans since it was almost wet,gave it to him and gave him the money I had prepared for him.
The look on his face when he saw me doing that was the most rewarding look anyone has ever given me.He was shocked,and started thanking me for what I did and asking God to bless me,but I couldn't hear a word of what he was saying,I couldn't look him in the eye,how can someone so sweet like him with a kind and gentle look be left on the streets?
Helping him out surely made his day,but what he didn't know is that he affected me in a way he could never imagine-I still think about him very often,and I just hope everyone will look at old people the way I do.

12.People in the United States honor their parents with two special days:Mother's Day,on the second Sunday in May,and Father's Day,on the third Sunday in June.
     Mother's Day was proclaimed ( 公告) a day for national observance by President Woodrow Wilson in 1915.Ann Jarvis from Grafton,West Virginia,had started the idea to have a day to honor mothers.She was the one who chose the second Sunday in May and also began the custom of wearing a carnation.
     In 1909,Mrs.Dodd from Spokane,Washington,thought of the idea of a day to honor fathers.She wanted to honor her own father,William Smart.After her mother died,he had the responsibility of raising a family of five sons and a daughter.In 1910,the first Father's Day was observed in Spokane.Senator Margaret Chase Smith helped to established Father's Day as a national commemorative ( 紀(jì)念)day,in 1972.
     These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents.They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens.They give love and care.
     These two special days are celebrated in many different ways.On Mother's Day people wear carnations.A red one symbolizes ( 象征) a living mother.A white one shows that the mother is dead.Many people attend religious services to honor parents.It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery.On these days families get together at home,as well as in restaurants.They often have outdoor barbecues for Father's Day.These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.

27.According to the passage,which of the following about the second Sunday in May is not true?C
A.It is a day to show love to mothers
B.It is a day to wear carnations
C.It is a day for people to visit the cemetery
