14、80 on Sunday.BHaving experienced a shocking electrical accident, which caused him to become both blind and deaf, James Francos world became completely dark and quiet for almost ten years. The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life. Hi

15、s family, especially his wife, did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live.One hot summer afternoon, he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once. He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet, but he was struck by th

16、e lightning. Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up 20 minutes later, lying face down in muddy water. He was trembling badly, but when he opened his eyes, he could hardly believe what he saw: a tree and muddy road. When Mrs. Franco came running up to him, shouting to their neighbors to call fo

17、r help, he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years.The news of James regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread and many doctors came to examine him. Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning. However, none o

18、f them could give a compellent answer as to why this should happen. The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that, since James lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock, perhaps, the only way for him to regain them was another sudden shock.14The reason why James attempt

19、ed to kill himself was that _.Aa terrible electrical accident happened to himBnobody in the whole world cared about himChe was struck by the lightning once moreDhe had to live in a dark and silent world15What was James doing when he was struck by the lightning?ASheltering from the rain under a tree.

21、able AdventureDJames Franco and His wifeCMost parents are horrified the first time they catch their kid out in a lie. Just how worried should you be if your little one has started lying, and how can you encourage them to tell the truth?According to child and teen psychiatrist Gayani DeSilva, MD, lyi

22、ng can actually be a sign of healthy development in young children.“Kids lie for many reasons, and much of it is normal.” DeSilva says. “People are not born with the tools of interacting with others and getting their needs met. They must learn how to communicate those needs in appropriate ways, and

23、theyll experiment with different communication techniques until they find the ones that work best for them. Lying is one of those techniques.”For instance, at age two or three, kids may lie as they experiment with pushing limits to see what behaviors are acceptable and what arent. As kids get older,

24、 they become more aware of how their actions affect others. Many lie less frequently because they know it could hurt someone elses feelings or trust. Teens were most likely to consider lying an acceptable behavior if it was to help somebody or keep a personal secret, but not if it was likely to caus

25、e harm to somebody.Just because lying is, in most cases, normal, doesnt mean it should be ignored. If you know your child is lying, what should you do? When a child lies, look at them directly and ask, “What do you need?” After they tell you, gently remind them that telling you directly will be more

26、 effective than lying.Also, its a good idea to model the behavior you want to see in your kids. In other words, dont lie to your children. This will set you and your children on a course of open communication, trust, and satisfaction that needs and wants are understood and met.Generally, a child who

27、 is neglected will lie more than a child who has attentive and responsive parents. By paying attention to the reasons behind a small lie, parents can figure out if theres a need thats not being met.18Why do kids lie according to DeSilva?ATo get their needs met.BTo improve their communication skills.

28、CTo avoid hurting someone elses feelings.DTo be aware of how their actions affect others.19Why do kids lie less frequently as they grow older?AThey think lying limits their behaviors.BThey realize the negative effects of lying.CThey consider lying an acceptable behavior.DThey want to help people who

29、 are neglected.20What are parents advised to do concerning their kids lying?AGive them whatever they need.BPretend not to notice their lies.CSet a good example to them.DRemind them not to lie again.21What does the author think of kids lying?AAcceptable and appropriate.BHarmful and worrying.CNormal a

30、nd understandable.DHealthy and effective.D“What is civilization?” asked Kenneth Clark 50 years ago in the influential BBC series on the subject. “I dont know, and I cant define it in abstract terms, yet. But I think I can recognize it when I see it, and Im looking at it now.” And he turned to gestur

31、e behind him, at the soaring Gothic towers and flying buttresses of Notre Dame (巴黎圣母院).It seems inhuman to care more about a building than about people. That the sight of Notre Dame going up in flames has attracted so much more attention than floods in southern Africa which killed over 1,000 arouses

32、 understandable feelings of guilt. Yet the widespread, intense grief at the sight of the cathedrals collapsing steeple (尖塔) is in fact profoundly humanand in a particularly 21st-century way.It is not just the economy that is global today, it is culture too. People wander the world in search not just

33、 of jobs and security but also of beauty and history. Familiarity breeds affection. A building on whose sunny steps you have rested, in front of which you have taken a selfie with your loved one, becomes a warm part of your memories and thus of yourself. This visual age has given beauty new power, a

34、nd social media have turned great works of art into superstars. Only a few, though, have achieved this status. Just as there is only ever a handful of world-famous actors, so the pantheon (万神殿) of globally recognizable cultural symbols is tiny: the Mona Lisa, Michelangelos David, the Taj Mahal, the

35、Great Pyramid and Notre Dame. Disaster, too, is visual. In the 24 hours after the fire started, videos on social media of the burning cathedral were viewed nearly a quarter of a billion times.Yet the emotions the sight aroused were less about the building itself than about what losing it might mean.

36、 Notre Dame is an expression of humanity at its collective best. Nobody could look up into that arched (拱形的) ceiling without wondering at the collective genius of the thousands of unknown craftsmen who, over a century and a half, realized a vision so grand in its structural ambition and so delicate

37、in its hand-made detail. Its survival through 850 years of political unrestthrough war, revolution and Nazi occupationbinds the present to the past.22The BBC series in the first paragraph is mentioned to show _.ANotre Dame is a typical example of civilizationBcivilization is supposed to be defined i

38、n abstract termsCcivilization was founded in the past and lasts for decadesDits cruel to care more about buildings than about people23Notre Dame fire has aroused worldwide concerns because _.Athe disaster coincided with the floods in southern AfricaBpeople has lost a historical landmark to take a se

39、lfie and restCFrances economic prosperity has made it a must-see place for visitorsDcultural globalization has bred a common sense of cultural identity24What can we learn from the last paragraph?APeoples sadness at the misfortune mainly lies in the building itself.BPeople wondered who contributed to

40、 such an artistic achievement.CNotre Dame is a witness to Nazi invasion and French revolution.DFortunately we are blessed with countless splendid works of art.25What might be the best title for the passage?ANotre Dame: The Architectural TreasureBNotre Dame: The Humanistic ExpressionCNotre Dame: A Vi

There are many reasons why species become endangered.Habitat destruction is the main reason why animals become endangered and this happens in two ways. When humans move into a new area, the animals habitat is destroyed and there

43、is nowhere for them to live and nothing to eat because humans chop down trees and build houses and farms. 27._ Chemicals in rivers and poisons on farms cause the destruction of animals homes and food supplies.28._ Animals have been brought to the edge of extinction because they are killed for their

44、highly-valued meat, fur, bones or skin, or just for sport. Overfishing has resulted in many large sea creatures like whales and sharks becoming endangered species.29._We should take care not to pollute natural areas, and farmers or companies who destroy animal habitats should face severe financial p

45、enalties. The public can help out by refusing to buy any products made from these animals body parts. Governments can help, too, by making it against the law to hunt, fish or trade in endangered species. They can also provide funding for animal sanctuaries, to protect animals from extinction by bree

Endangered species are also the result of hunting and fishing.C. Eventually, all the creatures on Earth will enjoy being together.D. Recent changes, however, have h
