To encourage the sacrifice of health workers.BDuring the 1930s, the Great War broke out. A 25-year-old American soldier, probabl

18、y never thought that his life would change forever when he volunteered to go to France.One night while the American unit was returning to the base after a bloody fight, Suleyman stumbled (绊倒) into the ground and noticed a bit of movement from the bush. Being stuck between two choices either its enem

19、y or an animal, Suleyman found a five-year old girl from the bushes shivering (颤抖) with cold and utmost fear. Due to the atrocity of the war, the girl was abandoned by her family and the whole village was killed.During the war, it was impossible to find the childs family so Suleyman took this little

20、 French girl under his wings and gave her an American name Flora which means like the flower. Soon, Flora became the apple of the eye of everyone living in the army camp.For one and a half years, Flora and Suleyman became inseparable; however, every fairy tale comes to an end. When the war ended, Su

21、leyman was sent back to USA, while Flora was put in an orphanage (孤儿院), the Normandy School, which was founded by the American government for orphaned French children to have an education.For years, Suleyman always thought about Flora. When the French National Olympic Team was playing in the Summer

22、Olympics in Los Angeles in 1984, Suleyman gazed through the audience on TV, hoping to catch a glimpse of Flora, but he never could.At the age of 85, Suleyman attended the 60th anniversary reception of the Great War where Suleyman shared his story with American and French officials. After hearing his

23、 story, a French journalist started to investigate the story, and all government files were read in detail. The moment the journalist helped dial the number, in tears, Flora said Suleyman was her hero, and everything came flooding back to her.24. What does the underlined word “atrocity” in Paragraph

24、 2 probably mean?A. Challenge. B. Cruelty. C. Range.D. Stress.25. Why did Suleyman watch 1984 Summer Olympics?A. Because Flora might be in the French team.B. Because Suleyman was greatly interested in sports.C. Because Flora might be watching the event.D. Because Suleyman wanted to travel to Los Ang

25、eles.26. What can we learn from the passage?A. Flora and Suleyman became attached to each other.B. Flora was sent to an orphanage called Normandy.C. Suleyman found some animals in the bush.D. Suleyman would never see Flora again. 27. Which can serve as the best possible title for the text?A. A Tough

26、 Flower in the WarB. The Influence of the WarC. The Lost and Found LoveD. The Apple of the Fathers EyeCIts rare that you see the words “shyness” and “leader” in the same sentence. After all, the common viewpoint is that those outgoing and sociable guys make great public speakers and excellent networ

27、kers and that those shy people are not. A survey conducted by USA Today referred to 65 percent of executives who believed shyness to be a barrier to leadership. Interestingly, the same article stresses that roughly 40 percent of leaders actually are quite shytheyre just better at adapting themselves

28、 to situational demands. Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and Charles Schwab are just a few “innies”Unlike their outgoing counterparts who are more sensitive to rewards and risktaking, shy people take a cautious approach to chances. Rather than the flashy chitchat that defines social gathering, shy people

29、listen attentively to what others say and absorb it before they speak. Theyre not thinking about what to say while the other person is still talking, but rather listening so they can learn what to say. Along the same lines, shy people share a common love of learning. They are intrinsically(内在地) moti

30、vated and therefore seek content regardless of achieving an outside standard.Being shy can also bring other benefits. Remember being in school and hearing the same kids contribute, until shy little Johnny, who almost never said a word, cut in? Then what happened? Everyone turned around to look with

31、great respect at little Johnny actually talking. This is how shy people made good use of their power of presence: they “own” the moment by speaking calmly and purposefully, which translate to a positive image.Shyness is often related to modesty. Not to say that limelightseekers arent modest, but shy

32、 people tend to have an accurate sense of their abilities and achievements. As a result, they are able to acknowledge mistakes, imperfections, knowledge gaps and limitations.Since shy people have a lower sensitivity to outside rewards than outgoing ones, theyre more comfortable working with little i

33、nformation and sticking to their inner desires. Shy people are also more likely to insist on finding solutions that arent primarily apparent. Dont believe me? Maybe youll believe Albert Einstein, who once said, “Its_not_that_Im_so_smart,_its_that_I_stay_with_problems_longer.” Obviously, finding cert

34、ainty where uncertainty is typically popular is a huge plus for any successful person.The myth that shy people are less effective leaders than their outgoing fellows is just a misunderstanding. Make wise use of your personality strengths to lead your business no matter what side of the range you fal

35、l on.28We can learn from Paragraph 2 that _Ashy people are sensitive to rewardsBshy people care more about contentCoutgoing people are more careful about chancesDoutgoing people consider what to learn while listening29The example of Johnny shows _Ashy people are likely to be modestBhardworking stude

36、nts speak little in publicCsome students keep silent on purpose at schoolDshy people may have an advantage in discussion30We can learn from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 that _Asuccess results from devotionBshyness contributes to popularityCoutside reward leads to insistenceDuncertainty cou

38、 shrinking and developing longer wings as they adapt to climate change but why is something of a mystery.Researchers have studied data for 77 tropical bird species over the past 40 years and found that all of them had lost body mass. Some species have been losing nearly 2 percent of their weight per

39、 decade.Birds and mammals of the same species are generally larger at higher latitudes. The leading explanation is that their smaller surface-area-to-volume ratio (比率) allows them to better conserve heat. The opposite would help smaller species in hot climates to cool and could explain why birds are

40、 getting smaller as the climate warms, says Vitek Jirinec at the Integral Ecology Research Center in California, who led the analysis.In line with this, the mean temperature of the birds habitat today is 1 warmer in the wet season and 1.6 warmer in the dry season compared with 1966. Weather patterns

41、 are also more extreme, with 13 percent more rain falling in the wet season and 15 percent less in the dry season, and the birds lost mass more sharply after extremely dry or wet seasons.This could suggest that body mass loss is partly a short-term response to changes in their environment rather tha

42、n entirely down to evolution. For instance, a lack of rainfall could cause a decline in the number of insects that the birds feed on, say the researchers.But none of this can explain the teams other main finding. Wingspan has become significantly larger in one-third of the bird species over the past

43、 40 years. “Mass is a generally good measure of body condition in birds,” says Jirinec. “If they are simply not getting enough to eat, you would expect them to lose weight. But why would they have more energy to grow their wings?”32. Why are some birds larger at higher latitudes?A. To preserve heat.

44、 B. To find food better.C. To fight against heat. D. To adapt to climate change.33. On what condition do birds shrink faster?A. When they are hungry. B. When there is less rain.C. When they lose their habitat. D. When they experience extreme seasons.34. What remains to be settled by researchers?A. H

45、ow Amazon rainforest is decreasing. B. Why tropical birds develop longer wings. C. Why some birds are smaller in hot climates. D. How temperature of the birds habitat changes.35. Where is the text probably taken from?A. A personal diary. B. A travel brochure. C. A science novel. D. A science magazin

46、e.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）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。Defend Yourself Without Being DefensiveTheres a fine line between defending yourself and being defensive, but it makes a world of difference between ending and worsening a problem. If you regularly find yourself justifying yourself, bl

47、aming others, or trying to distract from the problem at hand, you may be on the defense. 36 .Keep calm in the moment 37 . If youre feeling wound up (生气), take a deep breath and resist the urge to say anything until youve had a chance to think it through. Youll handle the situation better once youve

48、had a moment to ease your tension. In many situations, its okay to be quiet for a moment. Not every conflict needs to be addressed immediately.Wait to respond to the criticismA rapid reaction is usually based only on emotions. Your immediate reaction might be defensive. Pause for a moment before you

49、 reply, and dont interrupt or cut the other person off. 38 . Cutting in with corrections or “Thats not true” shuts down further discussion. 39 An explanation can make it clearer to you what the problem is. If you dont understand where the criticism is coming from, or if the person said something vag

50、ue, respond to them with, “Can you explain?” or, “Could you tell me more?” 40 . For example, instead of, “Dont call my design ugly. I worked hard on that,” say, “What makes you say the design is ugly?” Or say something like, “Whats something we can do to fix that?”A. This also gives you some time to

51、 breathe so youre less likely to respond defensivelyB. Luckily, there are ways to find a solution to the problem without getting defensive about itC. Let the person finish, even if he or she is wrongD. Getting angry or upset immediately tends to look defensiveE. Talking too much is not a good way to

71、eloped. Opinions differ greatly from person to person. 68% of the students are in favor of its development. They hold the strong belief that cloning is bound to benefit the human being. As far as they are concerned, one of the advantages of cloning is that we can clone human body organs for medical

72、use. In addition, it is because of cloning techniques that large quantities of food can be produced to meet peoples needs. On the contrary, 32% of them strongly object to it, for it has raised a storm of moral questions. Worse still, some evil leaders even want to clone themselves to attain their ambitions. However, in my view, cloning will pay off as long as we undertake to use it properly.
