18、 Jason, our son, was born with cerebral palsy. My wife Margaret and I often comforted him as he faced many challenges in his early years. It was heartbreaking to see him regularly chosen last for breakfast, but he was a happy child and well liked by his peers throughout elementary school. His most d
19、ifficult time came when he began high school. One afternoon, Jason returned home in tears. He threw his bag on the floor and shouted: “Im never going to school again!” He was covered with food that other kids had thrown at him on the school bus on the way home. Jason later told us what had happened.
20、 A few days earlier, Jason had signed up for the school running team. That day, a few older students made fun of his performance on the track and made him the target of their one-sided food fight. I called the principal about the humiliation on the bus, and it never happened again. Jason stayed on t
21、he team, even though the harassment（骚扰） continued. One day in October, we had snow and freezing rain. As the other kids exercised in the gym, they noticed one long runner-Jason-jogging around the snow-covered track. A few weeks later, Jason had something to tell us. “Mom, Dad, sit down,“ he said. I
22、was ready for the worst. He told us that each month, students chose an “athlete of the month. The coach would list the top athletes, and students voted for the winner. Jasons name had never been listed. But that day, one of the nominees said: “Sir, I would like to nominate Jason for athlete of the m
23、onth.“ The coach looked surprised. “He works harder than any of us, Sir,“ the student continued. “We will have to have someone second the nomination,“ the coach replied. A tear formed in Jasons eye as he told us what happened next. “Mom Dad everyone in the class put their hands up.“ His mother and I
24、, also in tears, looked on as he proudly displayed his certificate. Whenever I despair, I think of this story.I remind myself that challenges are not overcome by force, but by patience, determination, and faith. 25.

27、 to the best performer C Educators across the US are calling for major changes to the admission process in higher education. The National Center for Educational Statistics reported that U.S. colleges and universities received more than 9 million applications between 2013 and 2014. The schools admitt
28、ed more than 5 million students in that time. But a new report says that the problem is not about the number of students that are being admitted, but rather how students are selected. The Harvard School of Graduate Education, along with 80 other schools and organizations, released the report in Janu
29、ary 2016, called “Turing the Tide-Making Caring Common”. The report argues that the process schools use to choose students causes major problems. David Hawkins, the Executive Director for Educational Policy, says that most colleges and universities require many things from students when they apply.
30、Schools usually ask for an essay describing a students interests or why they want to study at that school. The schools also ask for letters from teachers or other responsible adults describing why a student is a good candidate. But, Hawkins says, the area that schools are most concerned with a stude
31、nts high school grades and standardized test results. The report suggests that paying attention to academic success over other qualities works well for some students but hurts others. In addition, academic success is not the most important quality a student should have. More attention should be paid
32、 to showing whether or not a student wants to do good in the world. The report also suggests that schools should ask for evidence that students care about other people. Moving attention away from academic ability will make process less about competition, the report says. Students will feel less stre
33、ss about meeting higher and higher expectation. But the report does have its critics. Bob Schaeffer, Public Education Director, said that every few years, someone makes the same argument for change. He said that no real change has happened yet and that even many of the schools that agree with the re
34、port still make no changes. “Many of the institutions that have supported the findings in the report are the very institutions that have the most competitive admission processes in the country,“ Schaeffer said. 28. What is the problem of the admission process according to the report? A. The schools
35、ask social responsibilities from the applying students B. The schools attach importance to students academic records C. The number of students getting admitted is too small D. Admission officers only consider personal qualities 29. Which of the following do colleges ask of applicants except ? A. The
36、ir reasons to attend the school. B. A description of their interests. C. Recommendation letters from adults D. Evidence that students care about others 30. What does the authors attitude to the report of the admission process?. A. Supportive. B. Doubtful C. Neutral D. Negative 31. The critic, Bob Sc
37、haeffer, thinks that . A. some schools dont do what they believe is right B. the largest schools are expected to make changes first C. not enough schools currently agree with the report D. history has proved that all changes are good D There is no denying that some people live to be older than other
38、s. Followed arc the standard explanations: keeping a moderate diet, engaging in regular exercise, etc. But what effect does your personality have on your longevity (长寿 ）？ Are there any kinds of personalities contributing to longer lives? A new study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society
39、looked at these questions by examining the personality characteristics of 246 children of people who had lived to be at least 100. According to the study, those who live the longest are more outgoing, more active and less neurotic(神经质的 ）than other people. Long-living women are also more likely to be
40、 sympathetic and cooperative than women with a normal life span. These findings are in agreement with what you I would expect from the evolutionary theory: those who like to make friends and help others can gather enough resources to make it through tough times. Interestingly, however, other charact
41、eristics that you might consider advantageous had no impact on whether study participants were likely to live longer. Those who were more self-disciplined, for instance, were no more likely to live to be very old. Also, being open to new ideas had no relationship to Jong life, which might explain al
42、l those bad-tempered old people who are fixed in their way. Whether you can successfully change your personality as an adult is the subject of a longstanding psychological debate. But the new paper suggests that if you want long life, you should strive to be as outgoing as possible. Unfortunately, a
43、nother recent study shows that your mothers personality may also help determine your longevity. That study looked at nearly 28,000 Norwegian mothers and found that those moms who were more anxious, depressed and angry were more likely to feed their kids unhealthy diets. Patterns of childhood eating
44、can be hard to break when were adults, which may mean that kids depressed moms end up dying younger. Personality isnt destiny, and everyone knows that individuals can learn to change. But both studies show that long life isnt just a matter of your physical health but of your mental health. 32. The p
45、urpose of the study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society is . A. to see whether peoples personality affects their life span B. to find out if ones lifestyle has any effect on their health C. to investigate the role of exercise in living a long life D. to examine all the factors contribu
46、ting to longevity 33. What does the author imply about outgoing and sympathetic people? A. They have a good understanding of evolution. B. They are better at negotiating an agreement. C. They generally appear more resourceful. D. They are more likely to get over hardship. 34. What finding of the stu
47、dy might prove somewhat out of our expectation? A. Easy-going people can also live a relatively long life. B. Advantageous personality characteristics actually vary with times. C. Such characteristics as self-discipline have no effect on longevity. D. Readiness to accept new ideas helps one enjoy lo
48、ngevity. 35. What is the main idea of this passage? A. Anxiety and depression cut ones life span short. B. Longevity results from mental and physical health. C. Personality plays a decisive role in longevity. D. Health is in large part related to ones life style. 第二节 (共 5 小题：每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，
