A song called Lonely Warrior (《孤勇者》) is always ringing in my ears. Six years ago, after hosting an annual ceremony for my school, I found that my left leg was a little swollen, and very soon I could barely walk. In fact, the swollen part became a fist-sized meatball that was so painful that I could barely sleep. Of course, I went to a local hospital, where I was given very bleak (不乐观的) news--osteosarcoma, which means bone cancer.

I underwent chemotherapy (化疗) for the next two years, and it was the worst time of my life. Physically, I felt that the side effects of chemotherapy were killing me. I lost all of the hair on my body and I became totally bald. I could barely eat anything, even if felt hungry. I no longer needed an alarm clock to wake up in the morning. Instead, what woke me was my body telling me that I needed to vomit (呕吐).

I had no idea where all this treatment would leave me, and the dreams I had once nursed about the future were entirely wiped out. I wanted to feel the world and experience more, so I stuck to the course of treatment. As time went by, however, I became weaker and weaker. The side effects now were far worse than they had been earlier.

I eventually suggested that the leg be chopped off, and the doctor said that might be the best thing to do, as long as I could cope with the psychological and social pressures afterward. I made my decision very calmly, because I knew things could not be worse than they were at that moment, and I was determined that this was just one more battle I would win.

Now, six years later, I have weathered all these difficulties. I have been so lucky to be able to find the strength to deal with all of this, and what I have to tell anyone still struggling with difficulties is this: have faith in yourself, and do not let bad moments drag you down. Just hang on and you will come through.

24. What can we learn about the side effects of chemotherapy?

A. They made the author suffer a lot.    

B. They destroyed the author’s faith.

C. They were relieved after treatment.    

D. They were more obvious in the daytime

25. What was the author’s decision to deal with his condition?

A. Chopping off his leg.    

B. Turning down the doctor's advice.

C. Giving in to the cancer.    

D. Seeking psychological assistance.

26. What does the underlined word“weathered”in the last paragraph mean?

A. resisted        B. survived   C. escaped   D. produced

27. What does the author want to convey in the text?

A. A light heart lives long.    

B. A good medicine tastes bitter.

C. Time works wonders.    

D. One with faith braves any hardship.

C

Zoologists track animals using global-positioning-system(GPS)tags(标签) which then return their data via satellite. Marine(海洋的)biologists have a harder time of it, though, because radio signals can’t pass through seawater. This makes it impossible either to receive GPS signals or to send any data collected back to base.

That does not stop people tagging sea creatures. Data collected and stored in a tag can be sent to a satellite in bursts if the species in question is one that comes to the surface from time to time. A tag may also be recovered if the animal carrying it is caught by a fishing boat. Fisherfolk are typically paid a few hundred dollars per tag returned to its home laboratory.

None of these methods, though, keeps accurate track of where the animal carrying the tag has been. For these and other reasons, it would therefore be useful to have a marine equivalent of GPS. And one is now being employed. The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, in Massachusetts, hopes to fill the seas with sonic beacons(声波信标) that will play the role of GPS satellites.

The sea is divided into distinct layers that have different temperatures. During the Second World War, American scientists showed that some of these layers act as sonic waveguides. They called them “sound fixing and ranging” (sofar) channels. Sound sent out in one of these channels echoes(回响) between the layers above and below, thus staying in the channel. Thus constrained(被约束)，a sound wave can travel hundreds of kilometers before it becomes too weak to detect.

The sofar transmitters from Woods Hole are usually at an appropriate depth for the channel concerned. Every 12 hours they broadcast a 32-second-long location signal known as a pong. Pongs are so called because they are similar to sonar “pings”, but of lower frequency. In typical conditions a pong can be picked up 1,000 km away. By listening to the pongs from several beacons a receiver can calculate its location. Existing receivers for the two sofar transmitters are currently carried on free-floating instrument packs. But the plan is to have two more transmitters this year, and more in future years.

28. Which sea creatures can GPS tags be applied to?

A. Those feeding on other sea animals.   

B. Those following fishing boats constantly.

C. Those coming out of the sea sometimes.   

D. Those swimming deep under the water.

29.Why do sofar channels function?

A. The echoes among them are weak.   

B. The water has a high temperature over there.

C. The layers among them are quite similar.  

D. The sound remains there and stays strong for a while.

30. What makes pings different from pongs?

A. Pings are of higher frequency.     

B. Pings can travel faster than pongs.

C. Pings can be received 1,000 km away.   

D. Pings are broadcasted every 32 seconds.

31. What would be the best title for the text?

A. Tags for sea creatures    

B. “GPS” for the oceans

C. Strange deep sea creatures   

D. Data from distant satellites

D

Many public museums have complex climate control systems to preserve the works in their care. Those technologies, including climate monitors and air conditioning, normally work unnoticed 24 hours a day. But now, as the rising prices of gas and electricity in Europe pose an immediate danger to museum finances, and with a growing awareness of their impact on the climate, some of the world’s biggest museums are beginning to act.

Over the past year, major museums have relaxed their standards and allowed a wider range of temperatures and humidity levels in some galleries, saving them thousands of dollars a month. They have conducted months of trials to prove the changes don't endanger the items.

Yet in the rooms where borrowed items are on show, the old strict standards still apply. Loan agreements with other museums and private collectors mean those galleries must remain tightly climate-controlled, hampering institutions’ effort to lower energy bills and emissions.

The idea that art must be displayed in a climate-controlled environment is relatively new, said Southwick at the Vatican Museums. Masterpieces used to hang in unheated churches or palaces, she said. Some of the first museums to adopt climate-control technologies were in the U.S., with the Yale University Art Gallery fixing a steam-powered heating system in 1874.

Temperature and humidity controls became commonplace after World War II, especially after conservators at the British Museum and the National Gallery, in London, published a series of influential books prescribing（规定）the conditions to protect masterpieces in that chilly, damp city. Soon those ideas were applied everywhere, eventually becoming the standard for museum loans.

In December, the British government cancelled minimum temperature requirements for works covered by its art insurance program, to help museums save money during a cold winter. It’s hopeful that museums will change their tight climate standards for the sake of the planet as well as themselves.

32.What action do the world's biggest museums begin to adopt?

A. Seeking active cooperation with other museums.

B. Turning to more energy-efficient reserving means.

C. Loosening their standards for keeping the works.

D. Lending their works to other museums for display.

33.What prevents public museums from lowering energy bills and emissions?

A. The borrowed items.      

B. Private museums. 

C. Climate-controlled technologies.   

D. Loan agreements.

34. When did climate-control technologies become popular?

A. When the first museums came into being.

B. When the standard was published in London.

C. When Britain cancelled the standard for loans.

D. When Yale University Art Gallery fixed a heating system.

35. Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the passage?

A. Museums are taking action to cut costs.

B. Loose conditions preserve works better.

C. Museums are designed to save energy.

D. Old rules come to life for protection.

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。

Separation, money troubles, and transitional (过渡的) adjustments are all stressful events to the members of a family. Learning effective skills is key to solving the disagreements.

Schedule a time to talk as a group. When working together, you are more likely to solve family differences.   36   Then, once tempers are cooled, everyone needs to plan to come together and think out a solution to the problem.

Focus on the issue at hand. When disagreements occur, people tend to bring up any and every unresolved issue they have ever faced with the other parties. This blurs (使模糊) the point of the discussion. Try to uncover what is important about the current problem.   37  

Have everyone state what they truly mean. Direct communication is essential to effective conflict resolution.  38   Such “I” statements allow everyone to express themselves while they show respect for other’s listening.

  39   Let another know you recognize, value, and accept his thoughts, opinions, or beliefs. Of course, your own opinions may differ greatly, but using validation (确认) demonstrates that you see the other as a human, worthy of respect. Validate your family members by saying something like “I’m really glad that you feel comfortable enough to share this with me” or “I appreciate your willingness to work towards a solution”.

Decide on a solution together. Once everyone has shared their needs, wants, and concerns, consider all the suggestions that each party has provided and look for a middle ground.    40   If necessary, develop a contract or written agreement.

A. Seek professional advice.

B. Show respect for each person’s point of view.

C. Raising old misdeeds will not help resolve this issue.

D. Conflict in the family can affect everyone’ s functioning.

E. The first step is calming down and agreeing there is a problem.

F. Everyone present should feel good about the proposed solution.

G. Each party should use “I” statements to clearly state your needs and concerns.

 I’m so honored to be here and deliver a speech, which title is “The Fruit of Labour Is Sweet”. As far as I know, many people attach a great importance to labour and they create a better environment to live in through labour. As for you, I have all kinds of labour tasks to do at home like swept the floor and washing dishes. Doing housework help me learn to be more responsibility and independent.
