I’m a seventeen- year- ld by preparing fr my A Level exams at the end f the year. In the sciety where my peers (同龄人) and I live, we tend t accept the rat race values. As students, we want t get gd grades s that we can get gd jbs. I enjy studying and have always received A’s in my classes. There was a year when I finished first in my class in the final exams. It was a great achievement.
Anther ne I am pleased with is that I managed t imprve the relatinship between Mum and Dad. Dad was a successful businessman wh was rarely at hme. Mum was a husewife wh always felt bred and nagged (唠叨) him t let her g t wrk. Their frequent arguing bthered me, s I advised Dad that Mum wuld be better ff with a part- time jb. He agreed, and their relatinship has imprved since then.
My mst prud achievement, hwever, is my successful wrk in the lcal ld flks’ hme. My grandparents had raised me since I was a child. I wept (哭泣) bitterly when they died. Unlike many f my classmates, I d nt take part in my schl’s cmmunity service t earn pints. I enjy my vluntary wrk and believe I’m cntributing t a wrthwhile cause. This is where I can help. I talk t the elderly, help them with their daily life, and listen t their prblems, happy days and the hardships they experienced.
Last year, I hsted a successful New Year party fr the elderly and they enjyed a great time. Many expressed a desire t attend anther party the fllwing year. When I reflect n my accmplishments, I’m especially prud f my service at the ld flks’ hme, s I hpe t study scial wrk at university and wrk as a scial wrker in the future. I wish t be mre skilled in attending t the less frtunate as well as find great satisfactin in it, after all.

Shuld we allw mdern buildings t be built next t lder buildings in a histric area f a city? In rder t answer this questin, we must first examine whether peple really want t preserve the histric feel f an area. Nt all histrical buildings are attractive. Hwever, there may be ther reasns—fr example, ecnmic (经济的) reasns—why they shuld be preserved. S, let us assume that histrical buildings are bth attractive and imprtant t the majrity f peple. What shuld we d then if a new building is needed?
In my view, new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alngside an lder style. Indeed, there are many examples in my wn hme twn f Turs where mdern designs have been placed very successfully next t ld buildings. As lng as the building in questin is pleasing and des nt dminate (影响) its surrundings t much, it ften imprves the attractiveness f the area.
It is true that there are examples f new buildings which have spilt (破坏) the area they are in, but the same can be said f sme ld buildings t. Yet peple still speak against new buildings in histric areas. I think this is simply because peple are naturally cnservative(保守的)and d nt like change.
Althugh we have t respect peple’s feelings as fellw users f the buildings, I believe that it is the duty f the architect and planner t mve things frward . If we always reprduced what was there befre, we wuld all still be living in caves. Thus, I wuld argue against cpying previus architectural styles and chse smething fresh and different , even thugh that might be the mre risky chice.
28．What des the authr say abut histrical buildings in the first paragraph?
A．Mst f them ate t expensive t preserve.
B．They are mre pleasing than mdern buildings.
C．They have nthing t d with the histric feel f an area.
D．Sme f them are nt attractive.
29．Which f the fllwing is true accrding t the authr ?
A．Sme ld buildings have spilt the area they are in.
B．We shuld reprduce the same ld buildings.
C．Buildings shuld nt dminate their surrundings.
D．N ne understands why peple speak against new buildings.
30．By “mve things frward ” in the last paragraph , the authr prbably means“ ”
A．destry ld buildings
B．put things in a different place
C．chse new architectural styles
D．respect peple’s feelings fr histrical buildings
31．What is the main purpse f the passage?
A．T explain why peple dislike change.
B．T argue that mdern buildings can be built in histric areas.
C．T warn that we culd end up living in caves.
D．T admit hw new buildings have ruined their surrundings.
D
When it cmes t having a healthy bdy, seeing may be believing. Experiments suggest that peple wh are shwn pictures f their clgged arteries (动脉阻塞) may be mre likely t stay healthy than peple wh d nt.
Researchers studied just ver 3,500 peple. These peple were between 40 and 60 years f age. Each persn had at least ne risk fr heart disease, but n signs f the disrder. The researchers divided these subjects int tw grups. The first grup received what was called usual care — like taking medicine r talking with health care wrkers abut heart disease. Hwever, the members f the ther grup were shwn pictures f their arteries. Researchers als gave them special guidance n why thse pictures might be a sign f future health prblems. One year later, the peple wh watched the images f their wn arteries had less risk fr heart disease than thse wh weren’t shwn the pictures. That is where the “pictures” part may help.
Dctrs warn that many peple think they have healthy hearts but, actually, they d nt. Clgged arteries can be a silent killer. It takes many years t develp and patients may shw n signs until the cnditin is serius and difficult t treat. Because it is a silent killer, experts say patients nly remember a small part f what their dctr tells them t d. Seeing a picture is much mre effective. T use a ppular English expressin, “A picture is wrth a thusand wrds.”
Smking, an unhealthy habit, and being shrt f exercise increase the risk f heart attacks. Exercising fr at least 30 minutes every day f the week will help t prevent heart disease. Eating at least five servings f fruit and vegetables a day, and limiting (限制) yur salt intake t less than ne spn a day, als helps t prevent heart attacks.
32．What can we learn frm the secnd paragraph?
A．Bth f the tw grups received s-called usual care.
B．Mre than 3,500 peple f all ages tk part in the study.
C．Seeing pictures f pssible illness helps peple t keep healthy.
D．Heart disease is mre difficult t treat withut medicine.
33．What des the underlined wrd “effective” prbably mean in Paragraph 3?
A．Meaning.B．Dangerus.C．Cmmn.D．Helpful.
34．What shuld we d t prevent heart attacks accrding t the text?
A．Stp r avid smking.B．Take as much sugar as salt.
C．Exercise nce a week.D．Eat as many nuts as pssible.
35．Where may the text be taken frm?
A．A research reprt. B．A nvel.C．A science website.D．A persnal diary.
