When I was in fourth grade, I worked part-time as a paperboy. Mrs. Stanley was one of my customers. She’d watch me coming down her street, and by the time I’d biked up to her doorstep, there’d be a cold drink waiting. I’d sit and drink while she talked. Mrs. Stanley talked mostly about her dead husband, “Mr. Stanley and I went shopping this morning,” she’d say. The first time she said that, soda went up my nose.
I told my father how Mrs. Stanley talked as if Mr. Stanley were still alive. Dad said she was probably lonely, and that I ought to sit and listen and nod my head and smile, and maybe she’d work it out of her system. So that’s what I did, and it turned out Dad was right. After a while she seemed content to leave her husband over at the cemetery (墓地).
I finally quit delivering newspapers and didn’t see Mrs. Stanley for several years. Then we crossed paths at a church fund-raiser. She was spooning mashed potatoes and looking happy. Four years before, she’d had to offer her paperboy a drink to have someone to talk with. Now she had friends. Her husband was gone, but life went on.
I live in the city now, and my paperboy is a lady named Edna with three kids. She asks me how I’m doing. When I don’t say “fine,” she sticks around to hear my problems. She’s lived in the city most of her life, but she knows about community. Community isn’t so much a place as it is a state of mind. You find it whenever people ask how you’re doing because they care, and not because they’re getting paid to do so. Sometimes it’s good to just smile, nod your head and listen.
24.Why did soda go up the author’s nose one time?
A.He was talking fast. B.He was shocked.
C.He was in a hurry. D.He was absent-minded.
25.Why did the author sit and listen to Mrs. Stanley?
A.He enjoyed the drink. B.He wanted to be helpful.
C.He took the chance to rest. D.He tried to please his dad.
26.Which of the following is closest to the phrase “work it out of her system” in Paragraph 2?
A.Recover from her sadness. B.Move out of the neighborhood.
C.Turn to her old friends. D.Speak out about her past.
27.What does the author think people in a community should do?
A.Open up to others. B.Depend on each other.
C.Pay for others’ help. D.Care about one another.

Manzhao is a small village surrounded by tropical rainforest, widely known as the “Dai paper”mill in the Dai Autonomous Prefecture of Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province. “We’ve been making Dai paper in the village of Manzhao for over 800 years,”said Yan Kan, an inheritor of the papermaking craft. From the age of five, he saw his family using iron pots to make Dai paper. When he was 16 years old, he was taught by his grandparents to be a papermaker and was quickly able to complete the production process independently.
According to Yan Kan, the origin of the paper is related to the Buddhism in the area. In the Southern Song Dynasty (1127–1279), after the Central Plain’s paper-making technique was introduced into the village of Manzhao, the Buddhist Dai king asked the villagers to produce the paper for the Buddhist scriptures. Due to its high quality, Dai paper gradually replaced the Indian palm-leaf manuscripts and became the carrier of Dai people’s beliefs and cultural heritage.
Following Yan Kan through the village of Manzhao, we came across the rainforest. Yan Kan told us that “The production of Dai paper starts from here. Unlike ordinary papermaking that requires the cutting of trees, Dai paper is environmentally friendly because its raw material is the recyclable bark of these trees.”
Although Dai paper carries the culture and beliefs of the Dai people, it faced problems. So Yan Kan improved Dai’s paper-making technology, saving on production time and reducing labor costs, and then he started teaching his new papermaking process to the villagers for free. Due to the continuous development in paper-making technology, Dai paper is now widely used. People use it for Buddhist scriptures, tea wrapping, paper umbrellas, lanterns, hats, and even temporary rooftops. Starting from a small village in Xishuangbanna, Dai paper has now traveled to the United States, Thailand, Japan, South Korea and other parts of the world.
28 . Why did Yan Kan become an inheritor of the paper-making craft?
A.His village was surrounded by tropical rainforest.
B.He lived where people called the “Dai paper” mill.
C.He was born in a family that could make the paper.
D.He went to learn paper-making technique in India.
29 . What did people use when they copied the scriptures before Dai paper?
A .The iron pots. B.he Indian palm-leaf.
C .The bark of the trees. D .The paper umbrellas.
30 . Why is the production of Dai paper environmentally friendly?
A . It doesn’t need water at all. B . It requires only a few trees.
C.It uses recyclable materials. D .It carries Dai people’s beliefs.
31 . Why did Yan Kan improve Dai’s papermaking technology?
A .It could only be used for scriptures. B .It could only be bought in China.
C .It was only made in small villages. D .t needed much money to pay for workers.

Yawning sends out certain messages - it can be either “oh, this movie is so boring” or “I probably need to get some sleep”. But did you know that a yawn can also help your brain to cool down when it is overheated?
A new study, led by Andrew Gallup from Princeton University and Omar Eldakar from the University of Arizona, both in the US, has indicated that yawning could be the brain’s natural way of regulating temperature. People yawn more often when the temperature outdoors is lower than their body temperature but are less likely to yawn when it is hotter outdoors, according to Sciencedaily.com.
The research team did an experiment on 160 people, 80 in summer and 80 in winter, to examine how often they yawned at different air temperatures. The study found that people yawned more often in winter than in summer. Scientists say that when the air temperature is lower outside the body, there is heat exchange between the overheated brain and the cool air. But when the air temperature is higher than or equal to the body, people are less likely to yawn because the hot air they breathe in will make the brain even hotter.
When people yawn, their jaw is also stretched (拉伸), which enhances blood flow and may also help cool the brain.
The study showed that the amount someone yawned could be related to the amount of time they spent outside. The longer people spent outside in summer, the less they yawned. Nearly 40 percent of participants yawned within their first five minutes outside, but after that the percentage was reduced to less than 10 percent.
However, the result was the opposite in winter. The number of people who yawned increased when they spent more than five minutes outdoors. But the change was only slight compared to summertime.
According to Gallup, this is the first report to show that yawning frequencies change depending on season. This could help us to better understand the way our brains work. It may also help us understand the reason why frequent yawning can sometimes be a sign of brain disease.
32. What happens when people yawn?
A. Their brains feel cooler. B. They avoid feeling bored.
C. Their blood flow slows down. D. Their brains feel more energetic.
33. What can we conclude from the new study?
A. The longer people spend outside in winter, the less they yawn.
B. People have different yawning frequencies in different seasons.
C. Yawning is designed to help the body cool down in hot weather.
D. There’s a bigger change in yawning frequencies in winter than in summer.
34. Which is Gallup’s opinion about yawning in the last paragraph?
A. Yawning reduces the risk of brain disease.
B. Stopping yawning halfway harms the human brain.[来源:学_科_网]
- It’s better to stay indoors more if they yawn a lot.
D. Yawning often means something is wrong with the brain.
35. What do we learn from the article?
A. People yawn more in cold weather.
B. People yawn when they feel exhausted.
C. People yawn so their brains can get a rest.
D. People stop yawning when they move outdoors.
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。选项中有两项为多于选项。
Are you trying to find ways to be more efficient at your job? If so, please follow these habits of naturally productive people.
They take breaks. ___36___ Studies show that prolonged tasks that require high levels of focus, energy, and attention can cause you to become less productive and focused over time. Take brief mental breaks. Setting aside a little time here and there to release your focus can significantly help maintain it for longer periods of time.
___37___ Settle down, super men and women. While it's fine to pride yourself on your abilities to multitask, it's in your best interest (and your employer's) if you stick to one to-do at a time. Somewhere along the lines, our culture has embraced and promoted this idea that the more we can do at once, the better. ___38___ In fact, the more we multi-task, the less efficient and productive we become in all the tasks we are trying to accomplish.
They have a full night's sleep. In school, you may have found that too many students stay up late to finish a paper or study for an exam, but, despite your best efforts, research shows this is not the way to do business. ___39___ Actually, studies have linked insufficient sleep to decreased levels of productivity, unsatisfactory work performance, and poorer safety outcomes.
___40___ You know the countless benefits of exercise. It also seriously improves your mood by releasing something to relieve stress and increase your brains productivity. Even 30-minute bursts of moderate-to-high physical activity just three to four times a day can go a long way in helping you accomplish your personal and professional goals.
A. They value fitness.
B. Pressing pause Is Important.
C. They prefer to do more every day.
D. However, research shows the opposite.
E. They don't try to do everything at once.
F Enough sleep makes great contribution to efficient work.
G. Poor sleep or lack of sleep carries some pretty negative rewards.

It was 9 a. m.. The sun has shone brilliantly. I stood by the lake, waited for my turn to boat. Just then, a little dog lie at my feet quietly. “Am I supposed to touch them?” With little experience of dealing with animals, I hesitated. After while, it seemed to be disappointing and disappeared from my sight. Later I got a chance to row a boat in the lake. Seeing some pigeon flying the white wings in the sky and others feeding themselves on the bank, I merrily rowed the boat, a gentle wind passing me pleasant.
It is not until you experience in person when you can get the real meaning from nature.
