Abby Harris knows she wants to become an astronaut and isnt letting anything stop her.According to Harris Internet blog, Astronaut Abby, she has wanted to be the first astronaut to walk on Mars since she was 5 years old.Harris wrote that at the beginning, most people didnt take her dream seriously. But she stuck with (坚持) it.“I made plans, I worked hard and I focused on (集中于) my goal. As I got older and continued to stay focused on science, people in my life began to notice and encouraged me to dream big,” she wrote.In the 7th grade, Harris was doing a project on the International Space Station. She set up a Twitter account to get in touch with NASA. But soon she found that it was a great place for her to write about her dreams and talk with others who are interested in space. Her friends on Twitter then helped her create her website and blog, Astronaut Abby.Whats more, Harris has a real astronaut as her mentor. Several years ago, Harris ran into Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano at an airport. They talked for an hour and Parmitano agreed to become her mentor. Now Parmitano is in the International Space Station. Harris e-mails him every day to learn about his experiences.Its not easy to become an astronaut, but Harris is confident about herself.“If you work really hard at something, it can happen. And it will happen,” she said. 26. Whats the meaning of the word “mentor” (in paragraph 6) ?A. 朋友B. 导师C. 徒弟D. 助手27.

While this sounds funny, its a popular English stereotype (刻板印象). From the supermarket to the subway, queues are a common sight on the streets of Britain.Here in China, queues are normal, too. It is a part of everyday life. People queue most of the time, from buying tickets in the cinema to waiting for seats at a restaurant.But in certain situations, youll find yourself in the middle of a rushing crowd, such as getting onto the subway. Even away from the busy subway platform (站台), queues are different. One day I was standing in line at the supermarket.I left a small space in front of me. Within seconds, a girl walked by and took her place in that small space.I was surprised at first, but later I found these experiences very interesting. It is with these small, everyday differences that I get to live and learn within a new culture.Back in Britain, the average person spends six months of their life waiting in a queue, according to the auction site MadBid. To pass the time, maybe they tell themselves the famous proverb: good things come to those who wait. 29. The English are well known for _.A. forming an orderly queueB. being rude and loudC. traveling on subwaysD. spending more time waiting in a queue30. The purpose of the article is to _.A. call on people in China to queue moreB. compare queuing in two culturesC. praise the English for following good mannersD. explain why people rush in some situations31. In which part of a newspaper would you most probably read this article?A. Sports. B. News. C. Culture. D. Business.CARE you creative, shy, outgoing? Our personalities reveal a lot about who we are. But whats surprising is that our personality can also say something about our health. Thats according to researchers at Duke University, US.During an experiment on 1,000 people, scientists assessed (评定) their personalities in two ways: by asking someone they knew, such as a family member or friend; then by asking someone they had just met, such as a nurse. The study found that those who were careful at age 26 were in better health after 12 years.vBeing careful means that people tend to have a lot of self-control, and are less likely to smoke, the scientists said. Careful people are also more likely to have an active lifestyle and healthy diet.From those who were least careful, 45 percent developed health problems by the age of 38. Such health issues included gum disease and high blood pressure (高血压). To compare, only 18 percent of careful people went on to develop health problems.Another positive personality was called “openness to experience”, meaning curious and imaginative. People who have more of this personality have higher IQ scores. So theyd be more likely to know how to find medical help to prevent disease.According to the report, if doctors assessed our personalities, it could help doctors to find which young adults need advice on how to live a healthy lifestyle. Whats surprising is that stress didnt play a big part on a persons health. Even though stress and anxiety (焦虑) are usually linked to bad health.But can a doctor who knows our personality really improve our health? Or should doctors be kept away from knowing something so personal?32. Which personality type may be better for our health, according to the research?A. self-controlled. B. Stressed. C. Shy. D. Careless.33. From the passage, we learn that careful people _.A. are too shy to talk to strangersB. love to ask the doctor for adviceC. are likely to have a healthy lifestyleD. may have high blood pressure when theyre older34. Where can you probably read the article?A. Newspaper. B. Science fiction book. C. Research paper. D. Travel guide. 35. What is the main idea of the article?A. People can change their personality type.B. Scientists have found two different personality types.C. Personalities have something to do with our lifestyle.D. Personalities say something about our health.四、词汇运用(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)A)根据句意，用括号中所给单词的正确形式填空，每空一词。36. Kitty is one of the _(tall) girls in her class.37.

But do you know what future really is? I have to say that future is now. That is to say, we must treasure every minute now. If we want to have a bright future, we should know how important time is and use it well.There is an old English saying: “Gain time, gain life.” Then whats time? Time is something that we cant see or touch, but we can feel it passing by. Time is always with us. When we are at table, time passes; when we play, time goes by unnoticeable. We always say “Time is money,” but time is even more precious than money, because when money is spent, we can earn it back. But if time is gone, it well never return. So some of us even say time is priceless.We should always remember: Future is now. For us students, we should try our best to work hard in order to create a great future of our own. We should make the best use of every hour and be the master of today. We should do everything before us as well as possible. And never put off what can be done today till tomorrow.As we all know, “Time and tide wait for no man.” If you waste today, you will regret tomorrow. So from now on, work hard. Tomorrow will be better, and your future will be brighter. Remember: “No pains, no gains.” Todays hard work is the cause of tomorrows harvest.根据文章内容，补全下面句子，每空一词。56.
