My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents.Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers.Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addrees on most of the documents.At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people.We still remember their kindne and often send a warm wish their way.25.What did Rashid plan to do after his arrival in Sydney?

C As the new semester begins, millions of college students acro the country are trying hard to remember how best to write a paper or, more likely, how best to delay that paper.Procrastination is the thief of time and a lot of students suffer from it.They can spend whole days in the library doing nothing but staring into space, eating snacks, surfing the Internet, watching videos and looking at their pretty peers sitting around them, who, most likely, are doing nothing either.Paralyzed(麻痹；瘫痪) by their habit to procrastinate, they write micro blogs about their fears, asking their online friends if they sometimes have the same iue.But this does nothing to solve their problems.According to a recent report by the BBC, 95 percent of us procrastinate at some point and 20 percent of the world’s population are procrastinators, complicating their lives with their continual delaying of tasks.Procrastinators like to find excuses to justify their behavior, but BBC columnist Rowan Pelling says they are all wrong.Many procrastinators tell themselves they are perfectionists who work best under preure.Pelling says this is nonsense, as work done at the last minute is more likely to have mistakes than work done on time.She says the behavior of procrastinators often makes them feel flustered(慌张的) and ashamed, inconveniences others, and annoys loved ones.Fortunately, social scientists have made tirele efforts to understand this behavioral shortcoming and offer strategies(策略) to control it.Piers Steel, a Canadian social scientist and author of The Procrastination Equation, believes humankind is “designed” to procrastinate.Neverthele, he suggests a couple of good ways to get through the task at hand.The first one is obvious: Break the task down into small pieces and work your way through them methodically(有条不紊地).The second is clever: Give a trusted friend a sum of money and tell them that if you don’t complete the task you have undertaken by a specific time, they can keep it or donate it to a cause you hate.29.What does the underlined word “Procrastination” in the second paragraph refer to?
6 A.A bad habit of putting work or tasks off.B.A thief who steals time and money in college.C.A college student who learns nothing.D.A study way of doing nothing in the library.30.Which of the following statements is true according to the text? A.College students can have their papers written if they delay them.B.Many students don’t know what to do in the library.C.20% of the procrastinators make their life complicated.D.Students can’t solve their procrastination by writing micro blogs.31.According to Rowan Pelling, we can learn that procrastinators ________.A.can find reasonable excuses for their behavior B.are able to work best under preure C.are more likely to avoid mistakes at work D.may upset themselves and their loved ones more frequently 32.Which of the following may Piers Steel support? A.Human beings are not born to be procrastinators.B.Give your trusted friend money and ask him to help you finish your tasks.C.Complete your tasks or work step by step.D.You can’t control procrastination but you can avoid it.
D Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences? Strangely enough, the answer to both these questions is yes.To some extent（程度）our intelligence is given to us at birth, and special education can never make a genius(天才) out of a child born with low intelligence.On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence le than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings.Thus the limits of a person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment.This view, now held by most experts can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to say that intelligence is, to some extent, something we are born with.
7 The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence.Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from the population, it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different.If on the other hand we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other.Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.Imagine that now we take two identical twins and put them in different environments.We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring.We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part.This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence.33.By using the example that two people closer in blood relationship are closer in intelligence that writer wants to prove ________.A.intelligence is given at birth B.intelligence can be developed by environment C.intelligence can be developed by experience D.education plays an important part in the development of education 34.A child who lives in rich and varied surroundings turns out higher in intelligence because ________.A.his family is rich and therefore can afford to develop his intelligence B.he can break the limits of intelligence fixed at birth C.his family is rich and provides him with various healthy food D.these surroundings are likely to help him reach the limits of their intelligence 35.The best title for this paage might be ________.A.Birth and Environment C.Intelligence
B.The Answer to a Question D.Intelligence and Education 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
8 根据短文内容，从短文中后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where we’ve never been before.But just as in face-to-face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line.36 Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes.For anything you’re about to send: ask yourself, “Would I say this to the person’s face?” If the answer is no, rewrite and reread.37 If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct(本能) is to fire back in the same manner.But try not to do so.38 If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discuing it.Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room. 39 Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate.When someone makes a mistake, whether it’s a stupid question or all unnecearily long answer, be kind about it.If it’s a small mistake, you may not need to say anything.Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything.Having good manners yourself doesn’t give you license to correct everyone else.40 At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended.It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex and marital status.Unle you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don’t ask such questions.A.Everyone was new to the network once.B.The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated.C.It’s natural that there are some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online.D.Repeat the proce till you feel sure that you’d feel comfortable saying the words to the person’s face.E.When you send short meages to a person online, you must say something beautiful to hear.F.If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely.G.You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their meages.
