Passage One Kids often ask Scout Bassett, of Palm Desert, California, if she wishes she had two normal legs. Scout, 18, answers, “No. I have never known anything different, and it would see
11、m weird to me. Besides, if it werent for the missing leg, I wouldnt have the opportunities I have today!” Scout has faced big challenges. When she was only months old, she suffered from terrible burns. Her right leg was especially damaged, and doctors cut it off above the knee. When she was 14, she
12、got a high-tech leg made for sports and put it to the test right away in a race for disabled athletes. “ I remember being terrified because this was my first time,” she says. “But my doctor said,You have to start somewhere. ” Scout was waiting nervously for the race to start when athlete Sarah Reine
13、stsen came up and said, “Ive been doing this for a while. Let me give you some tips.” Reinertsen, who lost her leg when she was seven, is the first disabled women to have finished the Ironman Triathlon(铁人三项 ) in Hawaii. She works with an organization to help support people like Scout. Reinertsens en
14、couragement changed the teenagers life. She lost that first race, but gained the confidence that she needed to compete. If Sarah could do it, she could too. Training hard, she now runs competitively and also finds time to share her story with school groups. “Sometimes people look at me or at Sarah a
15、nd think they have nothing in common with us. I tell them that even if you arent physically challenged, everybody has challenges of some kind maybe with family, or homework, or friends. No matter what it is, you can overcome that obstacle,” she says. “Everything you need is inside your heart. Take s
16、mall steps. As time goes by, the steps will get bigger and you will reach your dream.” 11. Why does Scout answer “No” when asked if she wants two normal legs? A.

20、lties C. good things will come no matter what D. everybody has to challenge himself Passage Two Impatience has been around for a long time. There is nothing new about people losing their patience while stuck in traffic or waiting in line. But some experts believe that people are less patient today t
21、han in the past. Some analysts suggest that in recent years many people are less patient because of technology. They suggest that “digital technology, from cellphones to emails to Wads, is changing our lives. The instant results we get from this technology have in turn increased our desire for insta
22、nt satisfaction in other aspects of our lives.“ Psychologist Jennifer Hartstein makes some observations. She explains that “we have become an immediate satisfaction culture, and we expect things to move quickly, efficiently and in the way we want. When that doesn't happen, we tend to become incr
23、easingly frustrated and unsatisfied.” Some believe that e-mail is losing popularity and could soon become outdated. Why? Because many people who send messages do not have the patience to wait hours, or even minutes, for a response. Also, with e-mails, as with letter writing, introductory and conclud
24、ing greetings are often expected. But many people consider such formalities(客套 )to be boring and time-consuming. They prefer instant messaging. Many people do not take the time to proofread what they put in writing. As a result, letters and e-mails contain numerous grammatical and spelling errors. T
25、he thirst for immediate results is not limited to the digital communications. People seem to be losing their ability to wait in other areas of life. For instance, do you ever find yourself talking too fast, eating too fast, driving too fast, or spending money too fast? The few moments it takes to wa
26、it for an elevator to come, for a traffic light to change, or for a computer to start may seem like too long a time. 16. According to the first paragraph, people _. A. were more patient in the past B. have been patient for a long time C. used to be patient while stuck in traffic D. used to be
27、patient while waiting in line 17. Nowadays people lose their patience because . A. their desire for satisfaction has increased B. they are bored with what they have C. they have more things to do than before D. their life has been changed by technology 18. Some believe that e-mail could soon become
28、outdated because _. A. it takes a long time to start the computer B. people value formalities between friends C. people can hardly wait for a response D. cellphones are more popular nowadays 19. The pursuit of instant results causes people to _ . A. become more impolite B. have more errors in their
29、writings C. use voice messages instead of emails D. lose many of their abilities in life 20. The best title for the passage might be “_”. A. What Are the Problems Caused by Impatience? B. Are We Less Patient Today? C. What Happened to Technology? D. Has Digital Technology Changed Our Lives? Passage
30、Three Scientists measured the impact that people have on the environment using a term called carbon “footprint.“ That footprint reflects the amount of carbon dioxide that is emitted(排放 )into the atmosphere as a result of someone's daily activities. Carbon footprints tend to be low for city dwell
31、ers(城镇 居民 ). Living in a suburb outside a city, however, can turn that footprint into a bootprint. Energy researchers Christopher Jones and Daniel Kammen calculated carbon footprints for people in every zip code across the United States. People living in city centers had small footprints, the resear
32、chers found. “It is much easier to have a low carbon impact if your home is close to where you work, shop and play,“ explains Jones. Living within walking or biking distance cuts back on the amount of carbon dioxide associated with moving people by cars. And cities with extensive bus and subway netw
33、orks allow people to travel great distances while keeping releases of climate-altering greenhouse gases low. Not everyone can afford to live in the city, however. And not everyone wants to. Rings of suburbs have popped up around major cities across the world. Suburbs offer more space, allowing peopl
34、e to build larger homes. Suburbs may offer better schools for a family's kids. But those homes are typically well beyond walking distance from where their owners work, play or learn. So people who live in suburbs often drive long distances. The new findings are an important contribution to clima
35、te research, says Matthew Kahn, an environmental economist at the University of California, who was not involved with the study. Kahn would like to see the analysis applied to other parts of the world Europe, India and China, for instance. That would give scientists a better feel for how culture mig
36、ht mix with location to influence our carbon footprints. 21.“Footprint“ refers to the amount of carbon dioxide released by _. A .an industry B. an individual C. a region D. a country 22. What is the new finding concerning the
37、 footprints of people living in cities and those living in suburbs? A. The two are not at all comparable. B. The former are higher than the latter. C. The latter are higher than the former. D.The former are similar to the latter. 23.What is the key factor mentioned to explain the new findings?
38、 A. Distance travelled by cars. B. Spending habits. C. Size of families. D. Attitude towards energy saving. 24. What does Matthew Kahn think of the new findings? A. He is confused by the mixed messages. B. He thinks highly of them
39、. C. He can easily understand them. D. He doubts their validity. 25. What is the purpose of the author in writing the passage? A. To call on people to reduce carbon footprints. B. To offer tips on how to live a low-carbon life. C. To clear up misunderstandings about carbon emission. D. To introduce
40、the research on carbon footprints. Passage Four It was a chilly November evening in New York City, and my daughter and I were walking up Broadway. Nora noticed a guy sitting inside a cardboard box next to a newsstand. She pulled at my coat sleeve and said, “That man's cold, Daddy. Can we take hi
41、m home?” I don't remember my reply, but I do remember a sudden heavy feeling inside me. I had always been delighted at how much my daughter noticed in her world, whether it was birds in flight or children playing. But now she was noticing suffering and poverty. She wasn't even four. A few da
42、ys later, I saw an article in the newspaper about volunteers who delivered meals to elderly people. The volunteers went to a nearby school on a Sunday morning, picked up a food package, and delivered it to an elderly person. I signed us up. Nora was excited about it. She could understand the importa
43、nce of food, so she could easily see how valuable our job was. When Sunday came, we picked up the package and phoned the elderly person we'd been assigned. She invited us right over. The building was depressing. When the door opened, facing us was a silver-haired woman in an old dress. She took
44、the package and asked if we would like to come in. Nora ran inside. I reluctantly followed. Our hostess showed us some photos of her family. Nora played and laughed. I accepted a second cup of tea. When it came time to say good-bye, we three stood in the doorway and hugged. I walked home in tears. W
45、here else but as volunteers do you have the opportunity to do something enjoyable that's good for yourself as well as for others? Indeed, the poverty my daughter and I helped lessen that Sunday afternoon was not the woman's alone it was in our lives, too. Now Nora and I regularly serve meals
