Being responsible is actually not that difficult. I used to think that it is hard to grow up into a responsible member of the society. An incident happening in a rainy Sunday afternoon changed my attitude. I was on my way to the bookstore and was waiting for the green light while a gift was knocked down by passing car, which drove off quickly. A man immediately gave her first aid and I had joined in without hesitation. Soon many help was given to the girl. Because we sent her to the nearest hospitals in time, she was able to receive properly treatment. Not badly injured, I expressed gratitude to those giving help. Compared with the escaping driver, I was proud of what I did.

Cold weather can hard on pets, just like it can be hard on people．Sometimes owners forget that their cats are just as used to the warm shelter (住所) as they are．Some owners will leave their animals outside for a long period of time, thinking that all animals are used to living outdoors．This can put their pets in danger of serious illness．There are things you can do to keep your animal warm and safe.
　　Keep your pets inside as much as you can when the weather is bad．If you have to take them out, stay outside with them．When you're cold enough to go inside, they probably are too．I you must leave them outside for a long time, make sure they have a warm, solid shelter against the wind, thick bedding, and plenty of non-frozen water.
　　If left alone outside, dogs and cats can be very smart in their search for warm shelter．They can dig into snow banks or hide somewhere．Watch them closely when they are left outdoors, and provide them with shelter of good quality．Keep an eye on your pet's water．Sometimes owners don't realize that a water bowl has frozen and their pet can't get anything to drink．Animals that don't have clean and unfrozen water may drink dirty water outside, which may contain something unhealthy for them.
　12．What do we learn about pets from Paragraph 1?
　　A．They are often forgotten by their owners.
　　B．They are used to living outdoors.
　　C．They build their won shelter.
　　D．They like to stay in warm places.
　13．Why are pet owners asked to stay with their pets when they are out in cold weather?

    I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves, most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of. In fact, I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives (观点) by creating worlds we could step into, take part in and live in.
    With this unshakable belief, I, at fourteen, decided to become a writer. Here too, reading became useful. Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say, but being unable to find the right ways to say it. He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with, or agrees with so strongly that it reshapes his own world. He cannot write without loving to read, because only through reading other people’s writing can one discover what works, what doesn’t and, in the end, together with lots of practice, what voice he has.
    Now I am in college, and have come to realize how important it is to read fiction (文学作品)．As a law student, my reading is in fact limited to subject matter—the volume (量) of what I have to read for classes every week means there is little time to read anything else. Such reading made it all the clearer to me that I live in a very small part in this great place called life. Reading fiction reminds me that there is life beyond my own. It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road, all from the comfort of my own armchair, to experience, though secondhand, exciting experiences that I wouldn't necessarily be able to have in my lifetime.

22. The underlined word "voice" in the second paragraph most probably means “_______”.
   A. an idea     B. a way of writing     C. a sound quality     D. a world to write about

23. What effect does reading have on the author?
   A. It cheers him up.                               B. It makes his college life more interesting.

   C. It opens up a wider world for him.      D. It increases his interest in worldwide travel.                                        

The setting was a packed gymnasium just before the start of a game against another school. There were five girls who were members of the Danville High School basketball team -all of them starters. They were not in uniform to play that night and would not be on the team for the rest of this season. They were there to admit their breaking of team rules. They were there to support their coach’s decision to take them off the team. They were there to let the town know there was a problem in their little community that needed to be addressed. And they did it with sincere regret rather than defensiveness.

While the school had been out for the New Years holiday, the five girls had gone to the party with several of their friends. There was alcohol there. And they all drank some.

Coach Rainville has a zero tolerance rule on drugs and alcohol for her members though it was a hard decision to make. When classes resumed and accounts of holiday parties were shared, rumors about the five girls began closing in on them. The coach said she couldn’t back down on her rules. And the players-two junior students and three senior students-agreed. That night in the gym was part of their public support of the coach’s decision.

“We hope you will understand that we are not bad kids. What we did was definitely not worth it. We hope this event will make everyone realize that there is a big drug and alcohol problem in our community,” one of the senior students said, “And if you work with us to try to solve this problem, you will help us feel that we have not been thrown off our basketball team for nothing.” The five left the floor to deafening applause.

The team may not win another game this year. But they’ve learnt something about personal responsibility, the effect of one’s action on others, and honesty that will serve them well throughout life.

It was 1958, and I was 10 years old. Being the older of two boys, I took the

mission    31   . I was going to find Mom a useful gift that showed her how much we loved her.

In the shop, there was so much to    32    from—cards, combs etc. But while looking in the kitchen hardware section, I spotted    33    I thought was the perfect gift: a peeler(削皮器).

We ate potatoes nearly every day. My earliest    34    are of my mother peeling potatoes slowly and expertly with her favorite knife. This new peeler would make her job so much    35   .

On Mother’s Day, Mom opened her gift. I saw only    36    in her eyes. I

was    37    to see the new peeler in operation, but my mother kept using her old knife. After several days of    38   , I asked her, “Mom, why don’t you use the new potato peeler?”

“My goodness, I must have    39   ,” she replied. “I’ll use it tomorrow.”

But she didn’t. I    40   hid her old knife once in the dark drawer, hoping she’d have to use the new peeler.    41   Mom found the old knife and kept using it. Finally I asked her if she wasn’t    42    her Mother’s Day gift.

 “Alvin, the best part of the potato is just    43    the skin,” she explained. “This new type of peeler wastes too much of the potato and    44    the best part.”

Seeing the    45    look on my face, she   46   , “Alvin, I’ll always remember your    47   . I’ll keep it in the drawer forever    48   every time I open it and see the peeler I’ll be    49   of what a wonderful Mother’s Day it was.”

Fifty years later, when my brother and I    50    Mom and Dad’s belongings, I spotted the potato peeler in the drawer. I wondered how many times she held it in her hands and thought, “What a wonderful Mother’s Day it was!”

   The Louvre, in Paris, France, has almost 275,000 works of art. It contains some of the most famous works of art in the history of the world, including the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci.

     The Louvre was originally a fort (a strong building used by soldiers for defending a place) built by King PhilipⅡsometime around AD 1200. In the 1300s, it became a royal house for Charles Ⅴ, who had it renovated (翻新). While he did have his own collection of art there, everything disappeared when he died.

     This impressive building remained empty until 1527, when FrancoisⅠdecided that he wanted it for his private palace. FrancoisⅠwas a collector of early Italian Renaissance art at the time, and already owned the Mona Lisa. However, he would not move into the Louvre until it was completely renovated and made even more splendid than it had been during the rule of Charles Ⅴ.

     Unfortunately, FrancoisⅠdied before the work was completed, but the work continued until the death of the head architect. Afterwards, several generations of French royalty lived in the palace until Louis ⅩⅣ, the last of the French rulers to call the Louvre home, left in 1682. The Louvre, however, was far form abandoned. For about 30 years after Louis ⅩⅣ’s death in 1715, the Louvre became the home of artists and scholars. Its art collection grew from about 200 paintings in 1643 to about 2,500 works of art in 1715.

     It was a center of creativity, until the public began to be admitted in 1793. Throughout the French Revolution and the years ruled by NapoleonⅠ, the art collection in the Louvre grew greatly.

     Napoleon robbed art from all over the world and added it to the Louvre’s collection. After Napoleon’s death in 1821, the original owners reclaimed much of the robbed artwork. Over the last 100 years, art colleges have been set up at the Louvre, and it has become one of the largest museums in the world.

25.What do we learn about the Louvre?

   A. It became an art college in 1821.

   B. It was first constructed as a royal house.

   C. It was abandoned in the fourteenth century.

   D. It became a meeting place for culture after 1715.

26. According to the text, FrancoisⅠ_______.

   A. had never lived in the Louvre           

   B. led a simple life during his life

   C. lost all his collection on his death           

   D. received all artwork from Charles Ⅴ

27.When was the Louvre open to the public?

   A. In 1643.

   B. In 1682.

   C. In 1715.

   D. In 1793.

 According to the newly passed Road Traffic Safety Law, there are now tougher ________ for drunken drivers.

When students read articles about scientific discovery, they learn what worked. Scientists present the methods that got the best result. They often show only the results that are significant and important. What they won’t show are the mistakes or failures that came first. Yet sometimes those mistakes pointed the way to success.

It can take a long time and many experiments to achieve scientific success.Robbin, 16, and Annabelle, 15, learned that while working this summer in a biochemistry lab at Stony Brook University in New York.What’s more, they learned that failure is not necessarily something to fear.  

“I like the idea of scientific research,”says Robbin. It’s the basis for“every lesson you learn in school and understanding everything you see in life.” This summer, Robbin has been working with Lauren, a chemistry student, who is making new drugs to fight harmful bacteria. At first, the tests made Robbin anxious. She worried that she might be making costly mistakes. But Lauren reassured her that finding out what doesn’t work is “just part of the learning process”. With time, the teen got comfortable with the idea that every experiment wouldn’t succeed.

Annabelle also learned a lot about failure and success. She worked with graduate student Agnieszka Gil.“Sometimes I try something and it takes a while for the experiment to run.”This means that finding out whether Annabelle did something wrong can be a stressful waiting game, because “if you did something wrong you need to do it again.” But she’s now learning to be patient and not to expect instant success. In science, figuring out why something failed is what may just put them on the road to success.  

32. What impresses students most in articles about scientific discovery?

　　A. Scientists achievements.　　        B. The reasons for success.

　　C. The cause of mistakes.　　         D. Stressful process of research.

33. What can we learn from the passage?

    A. Robbin is a graduate student.        B. Lauren managed to make new drugs.

    C. Annabelle learns the value of patience.  D. Agnieszka expected an instant success.

34. What did Robbin and Annabelle have in common in their experiments?

    A. They did their experiments independently.

    B. They realized not all experiments would succeed.

    C. They assisted graduate students to make new drugs.

    D. They made severe mistakes in the experiments.

35. What does the writer intend to tell us?

　　A. The cause of making errors in science.

　　B. The significance of scientific discovery.

　　C. The importance of doing experiments.

　　D. The correct attitudes towards failures.

We admire great inventors, and you may have asked yourself, “Why didn’t I think of that?” Well, luck is certainly part of it. But there may be ways to seriously increase your chances.

Perhaps the biggest problem with having a breakthrough idea is the way we think of breakthrough ideas—making them seem more attractive than they really are. As the Nobel prize winner Linus Pauling once put it, the way to get good ideas is to have a lot of ideas and throw the bad ones away. “Begin a daily practice of listing 10 ideas,” advises the author and businessman Jame Altucher. “Then throw the list in the bin: the point is to build the idea muscle, not to put feelings into any single idea.”

Another thing to remember is that there’s no such thing as a totally new idea. “Every creative thing you’ve ever seen or idea you’ve ever heard can be broken down into smaller ideas that existed before,” writes Scott Berkun, an expert in this field. “Great inventions happen when the right parts are already there, waiting to be combined. That’s one reason for the phenomenon(现象) where more than one person came up with the idea for something creative, within a short time of each other. So think of any two successes at present and combine them.”

“I believe that our planet is not only for animals and plants and bacteria and viruses, but also for ideas,” says the author Elizabeth Gilbert, in her new book, Big Magic. It’s a slightly crazy way of making an excellent point that you will go further by becoming more open to ideas than by trying to invent them from the start. It’s an exciting thought: the next Mark Zuckerberg’s big idea is already out there, maybe in several pieces. You just have to find it, and then put them together.

32. Why does James Altucher advises us to list 10 ideas every day?

A. To put them into future use.      B. To get good ideas.     

C. To point out those bad ideas.     D. To compare problems with inventions.

33. According to Scott Berkun, new inventions actually come from __________? 

A. breakthrough ideas                   B. completely new ideas     

C. the combination of ideas around        D. the agreement from different people

34. Who is the writer of the book Big Magic?

A. Scott Berkun     B. Linus Pauling     C. James Altucher      D. Elizabeth Gilbert

35. All the people mentioned in the passage advise us to __________?

A. be willing to accept existing creative ideas      B. avoid referring to others’ ideas      

C. learn from successful people                 D. become open to nature
