            • 1． For professional athletes，it's all about training，speed，strength，and endurance．It's no different for the homing pigeon （传信鸽）-the flying athletes，but they're not going for the gold with every race．They just want to go home．
              When you walk into Mike Beavers'pigeon loft （鸽棚） you'll hear the happy coo （咕咕叫） from his flock of homing pigeons．Beavers raises and races these birds near Kingsley，Iowa，USA．
              “Most people don't believe me，”says Beavers．“They ask，‘How do you do that？'Then once you start explaining it，it really kind of catches their interest and they say，‘Wow，that's pretty awesome．'”
              His love for the birds took off when he was a kid and he's spent the past 30years building his team of racing pigeons．It's a family hobby．“I got out of it for a few years and after I got married，my daughter came along and it was something that she and I could do together because I don't shop，”says Beavers．
              Beavers has about 150birds，but these aren't ordinary pigeons．They're born to race，conditioned to travel long distances，and they have the instinct （本能） to always return home no matter where they are．
              “They come back because this is home，”says Beavers．“This is where they were born and raised and it's just their instinct to go home．Nobody even really knows the reason．It's one of nature's secrets and nobody has found it yet．”
              These pigeons are kind of like a flying GPS．That's what makes them so special．If you take a wild pigeon you find under a bridge and take it out 100miles away，it is just going to find the closest bridge and that's going to be its new home．It is the instinct that is bred into these birds over centuries and centuries．

              31．What do most people think of Beavers'raising homing pigeons after his explanation？    
              A．Boring but acceptable．
              B．Interesting and acceptable．
              C．Surprising and unacceptable．

              C．has raised homing pigeons for two decades
              D．shares this pigeon⁃raising hobby with his daughter

              A．They can locate their home．
              B．They are equipped with GPS．

              B．they have the instinct

            • 2． He was once referred to as the Picasso of poetry．Beloved by Chileans of all classes，he is one of the most widely read and respected poets in history．And this year is the 100th birthday of Pablo Neruda（1904-1973）．
              Born with the name Neftali Ricardo Reyes Basolto，he was a tall，shy and lonely boy．He loved to read and started to write poetry when he was ten．The American poet Walt Whitman，whose framed picture Neruda later kept on his table became a major influence on his work．
              However，his father did not like the idea of having a poet for a son and tried to discourage him from writing．To cover up （掩饰） the publication of his first poem，he took the pen name Pablo Neruda．
              In 1924Neruda gained fame with his most widely read work“Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair．”Yet his rich experience as a diplomat and exile（流犯） made him go beyond the theme of love．His work also reflected the political struggle of the left and development of South America．He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1971．
              Neruda loved the sea which he saw as creative，destructive and forever moving．He found inspiration in the power and freedom of the waves and the seabirds on the coast．“I need the sea because it teaches me，”he wrote．“I move in the university of the waves．”He loved how the sea forever renewed itself，a renewal echoed in his work．

              21．The underlined word“Picasso”can probably be replaced by“    ”．
              A．most important person           
              B．famous person from Picasso
              C．freedom fighter in Picasso        
              D．poem fans
              22．Neftali Ricardo Reyes Basolto took the pen name Pablo Neruda because    ．
              A．literary greats usually used the pen name
              B．his father encouraged him to use the name
              C．he wanted to prevent his father knowing the publication
              D．he was greatly influenced by other poets

            • 3． Group exercise is one of the most effective ways to improve physical fitness and sustain a healthy lifestyle．Group exercise is challenging，yet fun and empowering!Of course everyone knows that exercise is good for the body．However，studies have shown that when exercise is performed in groups，it's not only great for improving physical health but for psychological health．It's an opportunity to be social，release endorphins（内啡肽），and improve your strength．Additionally，group exercise creates a community feel and the shared common goal motivates participants to work hard．The instrumental support of taking on a fitness journey with others proves more effective than going to the gym alone．
              Another beneficial aspect of group exercise is the informational support participants receive from the instructor．Many people fear the gym because they feel lost and don't want to embarrass themselves．If you feel you can relate，then group training is an even better option for you．It's a great opportunity to learn more about fitness through the clear instruction and supervision （监管） of a fitness instructor．If you're tired of wandering around the gym wasting time and becoming bored，you can attend an upbeat group fitness class that’ll keep your workout on track．Don't letfitness frighten you!
              If you're serious about wanting to live a healthy lifestyle，it's extremely important to surround yourself with people who'll provide you with the proper emotional support．I wouldn't scold anyone for deciding to party on weekends and in turn I wouldn't expect anyone to give offence to me for focusing on my health．Surround yourself with people who uplift，encourage and understand you!Make fitness even more fun by trying something new or any group fitness class，with a friend．Plan to go for a jog together．Then try a fun healthy restaurant or fresh juice bar!Fitness can be both fun and social!
              Surrounding yourself with people who'll provide you with respect support can be very beneficial while working towards reaching health and fitness goals．First，decide to do it for yourself and work towards staying positive．Then make sure the people you surround yourself with are supportive．Don't let negativity ruin your motivation．
              72．The first paragraph focuses on    ．
              A．the greatest challenge of group exercise
              B．the most effective way to improve physical fitness
              C．the contribution of group exercise to psychological health
              D．the shared common goal in performing exercise in groups
              73．The underlined word“upbeat“in the second paragraph probably means“    ”．
              A．cheerful
              B．average
              C．serious
              D．temporary
              74．When it comes to emotional support，the author thinks it necessary    ．
              A．to sustain a colorful lifestyle
              B．to party on weekends with positive people
              C．to try a fun healthy restaurant regularly
              D．to surround yourself with supportive people
              75．What would be the best title for the passage？    ．
              A．Seeking Support
              B．Supporting Health

            • 4． I lost my sight when I was four years old by falling off a box car in a freight yard in Atlantic City and landing on my head．Now I am thirty-two．I can slightly remember the brightness of sunshine and what color red is．It would be wonderful to see again，but a calamity（灾难）can do strange things to people．It occurred to me the other day that I might not have come to love life as I do if I hadn’t been blind．I believe in life now．I am not so sure that I would have believed in it so deeply，otherwise．I don’t mean that I would prefer to go without my eyes．I simply mean that the loss of them made me appreciate the more what I had left．
              Life，I believe，asks a continuous series of adjustments to reality．The more readily a person is able to make these adjustments，the more meaningful his own private world becomes．The adjustment is never easy．I was totally confused and afraid．But I was lucky．My parents and my teachers saw something in me-a potential to live，you might call it-which I didn’t see，and they made me want to fight it out with blindness．
              The hardest lesson I had to learn was to believe in myself．That was basic．If I hadn’t been able to do that，I would have collapsed and become a chair rocker on the front porch for the rest of my life．When I say belief in myself I am not talking about simply the kind of self confidence that helps me down an unfamiliar staircase alone．That is part of it．But I mean something bigger than that：an assurance that I am，despite imperfections，a real，positive person； that somewhere in the sweeping，intricate（错综复杂的） pattern of people there is a special place where I can make myself fit．
              It took me years to discover and strengthen this assurance．It had to start with the simplest things．Once a man gave me an indoor baseball．I thought he was making fun of me and I was hurt．“I can’t use this．”I said．“Take it with you，”he urged me，“and roll it around．”The words stuck in my head．“Roll it around!”By rolling the ball I could hear where it went．This gave me an idea how to achieve a goal I had thought impossible：playing baseball．At Philadelphia’s Overbrook School for the blind I invented a successful variation of baseball．We called it ground ball．
              All my life I have set ahead of me a series of goals and then tried to reach them，one at a time．I had to learn my limitations．It was no good trying for something that I knew at the start was wildly out of reach because that only invited the bitterness of failure．I would fail sometimes anyway but on the average I made progress．
              41．What can we learn from the first paragraph？    
              A．The author lost his sight because of a car crash．
              B．The author wouldn’t love life if the disaster hadn’t happened．
              C．The disaster made the author appreciate what he had．
              D．The disaster strengthened the author’s desire to see．
              42．What’s the author’s biggest difficulty？    
              A．How to adjust himself to reality．
              B．Building up assurance that he can fit in life．
              C．Learning to manage his life alone．
              D．How to invent a successful variation of baseball．
              43．The underlined words“a chair rocker on the front porch”in Paragraph 3 means that the author    ．
              A．would sit in a rocking chair and enjoy his life
              B．would be unable to move and stay in a rocking chair
              C．would lose his will to struggle against difficulties
              D．would sit in a chair and stay at home
              44．As can be seen from the passage，the baseball and encouragement offered by the man    ．
              A．hurt the author’s feeling
              B．gave the author a deep impression
              C．directly led to the invention of ground ball
              D．inspired the author
              45．Which can be the best title for the passage？    
              A．A Miserable Life                
              B．Struggle Against Difficulties
              C．A Disaster Makes a Strong Person

            • 5． （2014•怀化二模）Like most Oregonians，Stephanie McRae was used to driving in bad weather．Although rain still beat the window of her car，the worst of the day’s storm seemed to have passed as she drove her 11-year-old daughter，Maggie，home from a church at 8：30p．m．Two little children sat into their car seats in back．
              When crossing over Fawcett Creek （小河），McRae found the road just ahead had been washed away．The storm had turned Fawcett Creek into a 100-feet-wide river．Water began to go into the car and the four of them had to climb onto the car’s roof．The car was floating about and was being swept toward the Tillamook River only a few miles ahead．Suddenly it stopped when hitting a logjam （浮木阻塞）．The water swept over them，rising higher and higher．Stephanie screamed into the rainy night，almost crying．
              “Mom，I have to go and get help，”her 11-year-old daughter Maggie cried．
              Stephanie realized if she went by herself，Maggie couldn’t hold on to the other two babies．But Maggie was still recovering from foot surgery．How could she manage？Finally she shouted，“I’m proud of you．Be careful!”
              As Maggie McRae struggled to reach the shore，she was all wet．The sixth grader started running to the nearest house．Inside，the neighbors immediately called 911and were told that firefighters were making their way toward another trapped car．Maggie joined the neighbors，and helped the rescue team point out where her mother was．The firefighters saved McRae and her children by using a 35-foot-long ladder．
              When Stephanie reached land in safety，Maggie raced into her mother’s arms．“She hugged me for five minutes，”Maggie remembers．Maggie accepted an award for her heroism，but she’s happier to get back to her sports team and her family．

            • 6． We’ve reached a strange-some would say unusual-point．While fighting world hunger continues to be the matter of vital importance according to a recent report from the World Health Organization （WHO），more people now die from being overweight，or say，from being extremely fat，than from being underweight．It’s the good life that’s more likely to kill us these days．
              　　Worse，nearly l8 million children under the age of five around the world are estimated to be overweight．What’s going on？
              　　We really don’t have many excuses for our weight problems．The dangers of the problem have been drilled into us by public-health campaigns since 2001 and the message is getting through-up to a point．
              　　In the 1970s，Finland，for example，had the highest rate of heart disease in the world and being overweight was its main cause．Not any more．A public-health campaign has greatly reduced the number of heart disease deaths by 80 per cent over the past three decades．
              　　Maybe that explains why the percentage of people in Finland taking diet pills doubled between 2001 and 2005，and doctors even offer surgery of removing fat inside and change the shape of the body．That has become a sort of fashion．No wonder it ranks as the world’s most body-conscious country．
              　　We know what we should be doing to lose weight-but actually doing it is another matter．By far the most popular excuse is not taking enough exercise．More than half of us admit we lack willpower．
              　　Others blame good food．They say：it’s just too inviting and it makes them overeat．Still others lay the blame on the Americans，complaining that pounds have piled on thanks to eating too much American-style fast food．
              　　Some also blame their parents-their genes．But unfortunately，the parents are wronged because they’re normal in shape，or rather slim．
              　　It’s a similar story around the world，although people are relatively unlikely to have tried to lose weight．Parents are eager to see their kids shape up．Do as I say-not as I do．

            • 7． Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family，and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck．I’m not going to say luck，talent，and circumstances don’t come into play because they do．Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence，and that’s just the reality of how life is．
              However，to succeed in life，one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical．And，in addition to that，in order to get really good at something，one needs to spend at least 10，000 hours studying and practicing．To become great at certain things，it’ll require even more time，time that most people won’t put in．
              This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love．If you don’t enjoy what you do，it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it．
              When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success，you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost．It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent，but thinking that way does you no good，and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway．
              Whatever you do，if you want to become great at it，you need to work day in and day out，almost to the point of addiction，and over a long period of time．If you’re not willing to put in the time and work，don’t expect to receive any rewards．Consistent，hard work won’t guarantee you the level of success you may want，but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into．
              31．Paragraph 1 mainly talks about    
              A．the reasons for success                                          
              B．the meaning of success
              C．the standards of success                                        
              D．the importance of success
              32．In Paragraph 2，the underlined word that refers to    
              A．being good at something                                      
              B．setting a practical goal
              C．putting in more time                                            
              D．succeeding in life
              33．Successful people suggest doing what one loves because    
              A．work makes one feel pain                                     
              B．one tends to enjoy his work
              C．one gives up his work easily                                  
              D．it takes a lot of time to succeed
              34．What can we infer from Paragraph 4？    
              A．Successful people like to show their great skills．
              B．People sometimes succeed without luck or talent．
              C．People need to achieve success at the cost of life．
              D．It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success．
              35．What is the main theme of the passage？    
              A．Having a goal is vital to success．
              B．Being good is different from being great．
              C．One cannot succeed without time and practice．
              D．Luck，talent and family help to achieve success．

            • 8． You’ve just come home，after living abroad for a few years．Since you’ve been away，has this country changed for the better-or for the worse？
              If you’ve just arrived back in the UK after a fortnight’s holiday，small changes have probably surprised you-anything from a local greengrocer suddenly being replaced by a mobile-phone shop to someone in your street moving house．
              So how have things changed to people coming back to Britain after seven，ten or even 15years living abroad？What changes in society can they see that the rest of us have hardly noticed-or now take for granted？To find out，we asked some people who recently returned．
              Debi：When we left，Cheltenham，my home town，was a town of white，middle-class families-all very conservative （保守的）．The town is now home to many eastern Europeans and lots of Australians，who come here mainly to work in hotels and tourism．There are even several shops only for foreigners．
              Having been an immigrant （移民） myself，I admire people who go overseas to find a job．Maybe if I lived in an inner city where unemployment was high，I’d think differently，but I believe foreign settlers have improved this country because they’re more open-minded and often work harder than the natives．
              Christine：As we flew home over Britain，both of us remarked how green everything looked．But the differences between the place we’d left behind and the one we returned to were brought sharply into focus as soon as we landed．
              To see policemen with guns in the airport for the first time was frightening-in Cyprus，they’re very relaxed-and I got pulled over by customs officers just for taking a woolen sweater with some metal-made buttons out of my case in the arrivals hall．Everyone seemed to be on guard．Even the airport car-hire firm wanted a credit card rather than cash because they said their vehicles had been used by bank robbers．
              But anyway，this is still a green，beautiful country．I just wish more people would appreciate what they’ve got．

              51．After a short overseas holiday，people tend to    ．
              A．notice small changes      B．expect small changes
              C．welcome small changes     D．exaggerate small changes
              52．How does Debi look at the foreign settlers？    
              A．Cautiously．B．Positively．C．Sceptically．D．Critically．
              53．When arriving at the airport in Britain，Christine was shocked by    ．
              A．the relaxed policemen      B．the messy arrivals hall
              C．the tight security         D．the bank robbers
              54．Which might be the best title for the passage？    
              A．Life in Britain．     B．Back in Britain．
              C．Britain in Future．   D．Britain in Memory．

            • 9． I left university with a good degree in English Literature，but no sense of what I wanted to do．Over the next six years，I was treading water， just trying to earn an income．I tried journalism，but I didn’t think I was any good，then finance，which I hated．Finally，I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher．I loved working with books，although the job that I did was dull．
                  I had enough savings to take a year off work，and I decided to try to satisfy a deep-down wish to write a novel．Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55，000 words．
                  It takes confidence to make a new start-there’s a dark period in-between where you’re neither one thing nor the other．You’re out for dinner and people ask what you do，and you’re too ashamed to say，“Well，I’m writing a navel，but I’m not quite sure if I’m going to get there．”My confidence dived．Believing my novel could not be published，I put it aside．
                  Then I met an agent（代理商）who said I should send my novel out to agents．So，I did and，to my surprise，got some wonderful feedback．I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and，after signing with an agent，I finished the second half of the novel．
                  The next problem was finding a publisher．After two-and-a-half years of no income，just waiting and wondering，a publisher offered me a book deal-that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for．
                  It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck-of fate，really．When you set out to do something different，there’s no end in sight，so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract（合同）of the publisher-to be a published writer-is unbelievably rewarding（有回报的）．


              49．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean？    
              A．I was waiting for good fortune．
              B．I was trying to find an admirable job．
              C．I was being aimless about a suitable job．
              D．I was doing several jobs for more pay at a time．
              50．The author decided to write a novel    ．
              A．to finish the writing course
              B．to realize her own dream
              C．to satisfy readers’wish
              D．to earn more money
              51．How did the writer feel halfway with the novel？    
              A．Disturbed．
              B．Ashamed．
              C．Confident．
              D．Uncertain．
              52．What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph？    
              A．It pays to stick to one’s goal．
              B．Hard work can lead to success．
              C．She feels like being unexpectedly lucky．
              D．There is no end in sight when starting to do something．

            • 10． 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．

              41．What can be inferred about the author as a child？    
              A．He never watched TV．
              B．He read what he had to．
              C．He found reading unbelievable．
              D．He considered reading part of his life．
              42．The underlined word“voice“in the second paragraph most probably means“    ”．
              A．an idea
              B．a sound quality
              C．a way of writing
              D．a world to write about
              43．What effect does reading have on the author？    
              A．It helps him to realize his dream．
              B．It opens up a wider world for him．
              C．It makes his college life more interesting．
              D．It increases his interest in worldwide travel．

              A．Why do I read？
