As a kid，I was always chubby (圓胖的)．In college I started blowing up . It got out of control when I went to law school.
I’d made a decision a thousand times：I’m going to lose weight now. But what motivated me to get serious about it was turning 30. I weighed 414 pounds. I was always tired. Some of my family members have suffered from heart disease，and I was scared. I also wanted to look better. So after my birthday，I walked into the office of a weight-loss doctor.
She was very understanding. Her focus was on balanced meals and she wanted me to exercise.
Walking was all I could do at first. I started by walking a few blocks and gradually increased the distance，until one weekend，I found myself saying，“Wow，this seems pretty easy.” So I started to run.
I was losing nine or ten pounds a month，and I had more energy. I started to think about the New York City Marathon. For years，I watched the runners and thought，“This looks like fun，but I could never do that.” But now I realized that maybe I could. I joined the New York Road Runners. I ran a 10km，then a half-marathon. I still wasn’t confident I could run a full 26 miles. But I told myself I was going to do it，no matter what.
By my 33rd birthday，I was down to 180 pounds. I started formally training for the marathon. And on the morning of November 1，I stood on the Verrazano Bridge in Staten Island with more than 40,000 other runners，waiting for the event to start.
It was unbelievable to have the audience cheering me on，handing me cups of water. And I crossed the finish line. My friends sprayed me with beer，as if I’d won the Super Bowl. And at that moment，I knew：If I set my mind to something，nothing is impossible.
24. The underlined phrase “blowing up” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to________.
A. going weaker B. becoming fatter C. becoming healthier D. growing high
25. The author who was at the age of 33 had lost ______pounds in weight during the past three years.
A. 180 B. 414 C. 594 D. 234
26. What do we know from the passage?
A. The author formally trained for the marathon for three years.
B. The author started by running when losing weight.
C. The marathon the author ran started on the Verrazano Bridge.
D. The author has won the Super Bowl.
27. Which of the following proverbs can best summarize the passage?

Years of research show that when a native English speaker enters a conversation among nonnative speakers, understanding goes down.Communication specialist Heather Hansen tells us that's because the native speaker doesn't know how to do what nonnative speakers do naturally: speak in ways that are understandable to everyone, using simple words and expressions.They unconsciously use unnecessarily confusing vocabulary, which makes language less understandable.
Ting Gong grew up in Shanghai and moved to the U.S.in her 20s. She ran up against this problem of confusing vocabulary at the doctor's one day. "The receptionist(接待員)gave me a form and asked me to write down my complaints,”she said.“I told her that I did not have any complaint，and she looked impatient and then she asked me to write down anything that I could think of.”
“I only realized that‘complaints' here refers to symptoms I have after I spoke to my husband when I got home. At the doctor's I actually wrote down 'the receptionist was not friendly' as one of my complaints."
So what can we do to improve communication between native and nonnative English speakers?
Hansen says the responsibility shouldn't be on nonnative speakers but rather on native English speakers. Take a page out of nonnative speakers' book, says Hansen, by changing your English to be more inclusive.That means no more confusing expressions. Small changes like this might allow native speakers to join in conversations with nonnative speakers.
Joseph Issam Harb, who was raised in the United States and Abu Dhabi United Arab Emirates, said,"I am still learning about English from nonnative speakers.
"In emails, I've discovered an expression commonly used by some nonnative speakers 'please do the needful,' "Harb said."For years I have been interested in this expression and its use in formal work environment emails." Discovering it and wondering about the origins of the expression, which means "please do what needs to be done,"has been an enjoyable thing for Harb.
28.What makes communication between native and nonnative speakers less smooth according to Hansen?
A. The speed of native speakers' talk.
B. Nonnative speakers' bad pronunciation.
C. The difference between speakers' cultures.
D. Native speakers' use of confusing expressions.
29.Why did Gong reply that she did not have any complaint?
A. She had difficulty expressing herself in English.
B. She wanted to get treatment as soon as possible.
C. She failed to understand what the receptionist had meant.
D. She feared that the receptionist would become impatient.
30.What does Hansen suggest native English speakers do?
A. Read books by nonnative English writers.
B. Join in more nonnative speakers' conversations.
C. Make no comment about nonnative speakers' English.
D. Use expressions understandable to nonnative speakers.
31.What did Harb say about nonnative English?
A. It is very interesting. B. It should be corrected.
C. It sounds strange and funny. D. It can be used in informal situations.

Is the woman pictured on the right more attractive than the woman on the left?
The photograph on the right was changed using a new “beauty making” computer program, which uses a mathematical formula involving 234 measurements of distances between facial features to get a theoretically more attractive version, while keeping the basic appearance of the face unchanged. Unlike changes done in fashion magazine photos, wrinkles were not smoothed and hair color was not changed.
The program is the latest attempt to combine beauty and science, a subject that has drawn increasing academic interest in the last decade.
Studies have shown there is surprising agreement among people of different cultures about what makes a face attractive. Most important is symmetry (勻稱), along with youthfulness, skin smoothness and vivid eyes and hair color. Yet, like the many other scientific or mathematical attempts to define beauty, this software program raises complex and difficult questions about the understanding of beauty.
“How can they prove something is more or less beautiful？” said Lois Banner, a history professor at Chicago University, who studies changing beauty standards. “There can never be a single standard of beauty because so much of it is culturally influenced.”
After viewing “before” and “after” photographs of different people, Banner said the original faces were more attractive. “Irregular beauty is the real beauty，” said Banner, adding that attempts to measure beauty are driven by the media's efforts to define beauty and who is beautiful.
Martina Eckstut, the woman whose photo was beautified for this article, said she was struck by how different she looked. “I think the ‘a(chǎn)fter’ picture looks great, but it doesn't really look like me at all.” She added, “I would like to keep my original face.”
For centuries people have tried to define a universal ideal of beauty. “The first reaction we have to faces will be based on face symmetry.” said Alexander Nehamas, a professor who has written about beauty. “But in real life we don't just see a face. We see faces as people express their emotions and ideas, and all those aspects of the face are essential to our deciding whether a face or a person is beautiful.”
32. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Beauty lies in face symmetry.
B. People of different cultures can hardly reach any agreement on beauty.
C. There is no single standard or definition of beauty.
D. Science should be used to help us create beauty.
33. According to Banner, _________.
A. there is no such thing as beauty
B. irregular beauty is more attractive than symmetrical beauty in every culture
C. the media is to blame for measuring beauty
D. it is impossible to show that one thing is more beautiful than another
34. After seeing her beautified photo, Martina Eckstut was _________.
A. shocked because her face looked ugly
B. prefer to get her face changed although it didn't look like her at all
C. amazed by the attractiveness but refused to change her face in reality
D. confused by how different she looked and had no idea what to do
35. The purpose of the passage is to ________.
A. criticize the attempts to create artificial beauty
B. introduce a beauty program and a discussion about beauty
C. discuss what makes a person beautiful
D. to encourage people to change their appearance

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。
“What is your problem?”So simple and yet so difficult to answer, that essential question is what I ask my high school engineering students when they begin the study of inventions. Our students are often provided with the problem, or spoon-fed with a solution, or end up checking their answers against those in the back of the book. 36
The concept is the“invention design process”or“engineering design process”. 37 These steps include identifying a practical problem, developing potential solutions and ultimately designing something that proves they can improve the lives of beneficiaries. In short, we are talking about real problems that affect real people.
Students will often say,“ 38 ”My reply is similar:“I don't either, but it is going to be a lot of fun seeing you find one.”At this point in the process, students begin to realize that not only do they need to identify a problem, but they have to clearly understand it. There is no room for loosely pieced together projects without thought or true purpose.
For example, each term my class invents devices to assist local fire and police departments. At the end of the unit, we invite police officers and firefighters to a showcase who then provide students with feedback (反饋) on the devices. 39 As a result, the students will also give their projects serious attention.
Inventing is a skill and every student can develop that skill. It may be a cliché (陳詞濫調(diào)), but it's true — kids are natural inventors. And once they are taught the skills of how to invent, there is no stopping them. As a teacher, I can't help but ask,“ 40 ”
A. I don't know the answer to the problem.
B. I don't know what problem I should solve.
C. Now I am introducing them to a foreign concept.
D. It involves students in completing a series of steps.
E. How could you not give the problem the attention it deserves?
F. How can I not want to send more problem-solvers into the world?
G. They do not have time to waste on projects that don't take their work seriously.

My early twenties were rough. I was housebound with a severe panic disorder that left me afraid of 41 home. After four years, I got 42 , but there were still things I was avoiding.

Leather is a hugely popular material for a range of products, but this 56 (popular) comes at a price. The global leather industry kills over a billion animals every year. This 57 (cause) many to ask the question: is it possible to meet the global demand of leather without 58 (do) any harm to animals? A process called biofabrication(生物制作) may be the answer.
Biofabrication is not new; it is already commonly used in medicine. Scientists have applied the technique to grow body parts like ear, skin, and bones for transplants. But it can also 59 (use) to make other products, such as leather. Scientists will be able to make biofabricated leather with whatever qualities they want, such as extra softness, greater strength, or even different colors and patterns.
But how 60 (exact) does biofabrication work? 61 (grow) leather, scientists begin by taking some cells from an animal, not hurting 62 animal in any way. They then set the cells apart and grow them in a lab. This process takes millions of cells and expands them into billions. Next, the scientists take the cells and spread them out to form thin sheets, 63 are then put together to combine into a little 64 (thick) sheets. Anyone can then dye and finish the leather and design it in any way they like.
Andras Forgacs supports biofabrication. He says it may even be a "natural evolution of manufacturing for mankind.” We will be able to make the products we need in an efficient, responsible, 65 creative way.

Now one foot, now the other
Bobby was named after his grandfather, Bob. Bob was the one who helped Bobby learn to walk.“Hold on to my hands, Bobby,”his grandfather said.“Now one foot, now the other.”
One of the best things Bob and Bobby did was to play with the
old wooden blocks that were kept on a shelf, in the small sewing room
under the front stairs. The blocks had pictures of animals on them. Bob
and Bobby would put the blocks one on top of the other very slowly,
building a tall tower. Sometimes the tower would be almost finished.
“Just one more block,”Bob would say.“And that's the elephant block.”
And they would carefully put the elephant block on the very top.
But Bob would sneeze and the tower would fall down. Bobby would
laugh and laugh. Then Bob would sit Bobby on his knee and tell him
stories.“Bob, tell me the story about how you taught me to walk,”
Bobby would say. And his grandfather would tell Bobby how he held
Bobby's hands and said,“Now one foot, now the other. And before

Then one day Bobby came home from school and his grandfather wasn't there.“Bob is in the hospital,”Dad told Bobby,“He's had a stroke (中風(fēng)) and he is too sick to see anyone.”Months later, his father
told him that Bob was coming home.
“Now, Bobby,”Dad said,“Bob is still very sick. He can't move or talk. And he can't remember us.”Bobby just nodded and didn't say anything.
One day, Bob tried to say something to Bobby, but the sound that came out was awful. Bobby ran out of the room.“Bob sounded like a monster!”Bobby cried.“He can't help it, Bobby,”Mom said. So, Bobby went back to the room where Bob was sitting.
“I didn't mean to run away, Bob. I'm sorry,”Bobby said.“Do you know who I am?”Bobby thought he saw Bob blink (眨眼睛) his eyes.
“Mom,”Bobby called.“Bob knows who I am.”
“Oh Bobby,”Mom said.“Your grandfather doesn't recognize any of us.”

第二節(jié)
But Bobby knew better and he ran to the small sewing room under the front stairs. He took the blocks off the shelf and ran back to where Bob was sitting. Bobby began to build the tower. Only one block left.“OK, Bob,”said Bobby.“Now the elephant block.”And Bob made a strange noise that sounded like a sneeze. The blocks fell down and Bob smiled and moved his fingers up and down. Bobby laughed and laughed. Now he knew that Bob would get better. And Bob did. When the weather got nice and warm, Bobby decided to teach Bob how to walk in the park.
“OK, Bob. Now one foot,”Bobby said. Bob moved one foot.“Now the other foot.”Bob moved the other. By the end of the summer, Bob and Bobby could walk to the end of the park road and Bob could talk better and better each day. One day the two finished a block building game. Bob said,“Bobby, tell stories how you teach Bob to walk.”Bobby held his grandfather's hand gently and said, “Well, Bob, I held your arms and then I said, ‘Now one foot, now the other. ' And before you knew it ...”

M: That’s fine.

M: My parents want me to go to a family party this weekend. I know it’s going to be so boring. It always is.
W: Don’t say that. You should be happy to spend time with your family. My family live across the country, so I don’t get to see them often. It’s a bit depressing.
M: Really? I’m sorry to hear that. Do you see them at least once a year, for birthdays or maybe a marriage in the family?
W: I saw them on Christmas this past year. That’s usually when we get together. I would love to go more often, but California is far away.
M: I imagine it is a long ride across the country. Plus, you would have to take the time off from school and work.
W: Actually, it’s more of the cost that keeps me from going often.

M: I think we should speak to our new neighbors about the noise.
W: I agree. I had hoped it would calm down but they have been here for over a month now.
M: I know it must be hard for them with a young child.
W: It’s not just the boy. They have three dogs in that tiny apartment.
M: Yes, and they bark a lot during the day. They could take them to the park. There’s lots of space.
W: Should we ask the other residents what they think?
M: I’m pretty sure everyone will think the same as us.
W: Then should we go over there just now and knock on their door?
M: Why don’t we write them a letter instead?
W: That’s a good idea.

W: Ronald, it is lovely that you agreed to come and do this for me.
M: Don’t worry about it one bit. You’ll do great. This little interview is nothing, compared to setting up this beautiful museum.
W: Thank you. Who would you say is your biggest hero?
M: Well, you already know the answer to that, Kristal. My adviser was Ansel Adams, the great nature photographer.
W: And where did you meet Ansel?
M: Well, it’s an odd story actually. I was with my friends in the summer and they wanted to go fishing that day. I told them I would rather walk through the woods, so I hiked a mountain to relax alone, and ran into Ansel at the top.
W: Let me guess. He was taking pictures of the rocks?
M: Almost. He was taking pictures of a special cloud. Immediately, he began telling me everything a person could know about clouds. He was a wealth of information. He invited me back to his photography studio after.
W: And was that the moment you wanted to learn from him?
M: No. I decided that after he took me to his favorite spot. The amount of knowledge that Ansel had was important to me. However, it was the pure joy and love for teaching and appreciating photography that got me.
W: And now you own your own studio, you design clothing and will soon have a permanent section here at the modern museum of art and technology.

The United Kingdom is a group of islands off the coast of Europe — but it hasn’t always been that way. Many thousands of years ago, the UK was attached to Europe by a stretch of land known as Doggerland. And the evidence of the people who lived there is regularly found. Roughly 12,000 years ago, as the last major ice age was ending, the area that is now the North Sea was very different. Instead of water, the area had hills, wetlands and valleys full of trees. Stone Age people lived in Doggerland. They were hunter-gatherers who moved with the seasons and lived by fishing, hunting, and gathering food such as nuts and berries. Over time, they were slowly flooded out of their hunting grounds. Water which had been locked away in ice began to melt, drowning Doggerland. Around 6000 years ago, people were forced onto higher ground in what are today’s England and the Netherlands. The evidence of the ancient people’s presence can be found on the sea floor, where modern fishermen often find bones and tools that date back to about 9000 years ago. Those studying Doggerland say the climate change faced by ancient people is similar to that we have now. They say that a similar situation could affect the billions of people who live within 60 kilometers of a sea shore today if polar ice caps continue to melt at a rapid pace.
