My cell phone rang while I was working on my computer. I looked at the phone and saw it was my 17-year-old son, Tom. I quickly picked it up. “Mom, I got a 71 on the test. I did it.” With those few words, I could feel my heart start to pound.
Living in New York State, students cannot graduate from high school unless they pass at least five exams: one in English, one in science, two in history and one in math. For most students, who
work hard, attend class, and do their homework like my son, it isn’t that hard. But for Tom, who is dyslexic (朗读困难), it is such a real challenge that some teachers have feared he would never be able to even attempt, never mind achieve.
We were honest with him about his trouble, letting him know that there was nothing to be ashamed of. Some people learn differently. If he was willing to work, we would help him find a way to do as much as he could in his academic career. All that was standing in his way was this math test. He had taken it three times and did better each time, but he continued to fail. He was starting to get a bit tired of me saying this was a marathon not a sprint(冲刺). My heart broke each time we would get the failing results.
“Mom, thanks. I love you. Thanks for believing I could do this.”
For one of the few times in my life, I really had nothing left to say. For that one brief moment I knew, really, really, knew that everything we did to help our son achieve what he wanted was worth it.
24. What does the underlined word “pound” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Sink suddenly. B. Beat wildly C. Ache violently. D. Break totally.
25. According to the text, Tom was weak in _________.
A. English B. science C. history D. math
26. How did the writer feel when she wrote this text?
A. She felt proud and satisfied. B. She felt surprised and bitter..
C. She felt grateful and relaxed. D. She felt worried and anxious.
27. What can be the best title for the text?
A. A Mother’s Love That Made the Grade
B. A Student Who Struggled for a Diploma
C. Failure Is the Mother of Success
D. Life Is Not a Sprint but a Manathon
C
Law school is the place where lawyers learn all the tricks of their trade. I attended a legal class at Wuthering Heights University.
The instructor said, “ Today we’re going to take an assumed case. A man named Hatfield is charging his surgeon with improper treatment because his doctor cut off the wrong leg.”
“Tina, you’re the lawyer for Hatfield. Tommy, you are the insurance company’s defense lawyer. Tina, you go first.”
Tina said, “ Well, first I have to prove the doctor didn’t know one leg from the other. I use charts, X-rays and slides to show the leg the surgeon removed was a healthy one. To do this, I have to call expert witnesses to testify to this effect and I will put my client on the stand and he will testify he could not find work as a dancer after his leg was removed.”
“Tommy, you object because that fact is irrelevant.”
Tommy said, “ I object.”
The professor continued, “ I will be the judge in this case,” and said, “ objection ineffective.” “I will tell the jury(陪审团)to ignore the defense objection. As soon as the defense lawyer says it,
the jury will remember his statement despite the judge’s instructions . Now, Tommy, it’s the defense’s turn.”
“Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, Hatfield signed a contract giving permission to cut off his leg and did not specify which one. Once he signed the paper it was no longer the surgeon’s responsibility.”
Tommy said, “ I would like to show proof A.”
“What is it?” The professor asked.
“When Hatfield went to college, he failed history and was kicked off the football team.”
Tina said, “ Objection. His school grades have nothing to do with his leg.”
The professor said, “ Now class, pay attention. This is very important for anyone who is defending a client in this kind of case. You have to destroy the reputation of your opponents(对手) every chance you can. I hope you have learned something today. As the great lawyer O. J. Simpson once said, ‘Winning is everything.’”
28. What happened in the case raised by the professor?
A.The surgeon denied removing a wrong leg. B.A man was charged by the insurance company.
C.The surgeon’s reputation was destroyed. D.The doctor was charged with improper treatment.
29. Tina said she would ask Hatfield to prove he can’t find his job so that______.
A. she would get objection and eventually fail in the case.
B. she can win the case with the support from the merciful and trustful jury.
C. she’d like to impress the jury with his suffering due to the surgeon’s error.
D. the surgeon would shoulder the responsibility for his career in the future.
30. What can be concluded from the passage?
A. In order to win the cases, lawyers will often use some tricks.
B. Ineffective objection of the defense will be ignored by the jury.
C. It is necessary to ruin others’ reputation as possible as you can.
D.Winning is everything in law.
31. What is the best title for the passage?
A. An assumed court B. An efficient way to win
C. An improper treatment D. A tricky professor
D
You are what you eat. This saying has provided scientists with clues about the diet of hominids(原始人类)— our early relatives of 3 million years ago.
Studying carbon atoms(碳原子)locked up in tooth enamel(珐琅质), two researchers argue against the widely held belief that hominids ate little more than fruits and leaves. Sponheimer and Julia Lee-Thorp of the University of Cape Town, South Africa, report their findings in Friday’s Science.
There aren’t many clues for us to know the life of early hominids. The shape of hominids’ teeth offered the first clues. Large and flat-edged with thick enamel, they looked
perfect for eating nuts and fruits, different from the sharp teeth one would want to tear into meat with. The first stone tools, which would help in eating meat, didn’t appear until about half a million years later.
Scientists have also found marks on hominids’ teeth with patterns very similar to those on the teeth of modern-day fruit eaters. Sponheimer and Lee-Thorp tried a new method, looking at the chemical composition(组成) of the tooth enamel. They studied the enamel for the carbon-13. Animals that eat grasses have higher carbon-13 levels than those eating fruits and other plants.
What they found was that the teeth to the hominids had an in-between amount of carbon-13, which meant not only they were eating fruits, they were eating a lot of grasses, or animals eating grasses. The lower carbon-13 levels could also come from eating certain types of insects.
But there are people who understand differently. Prof. Ungar of the University of Arkansas agrees the study offers new suggestions of hominids diet, but disagrees about the suggestion that meat could explain the lower carbon-13 levels.
One suggestion might be true though— take good care of your teeth. In 3 million years, a scientist might be using them to figure out what you ate for dinner.
32. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Protect Your Teeth. B. Where the Hominids lived.
C. What the Hominids Ate. D. The Formation of Teeth Enamel.
33. Before the two scientists’ findings, most people thought that hominids________.
A. used tools to dig grass B. had sharp teeth
C. lived half a million years ago D. ate mainly fruits and leaves
34. The two scientists’ findings were mainly based on the study about________.
A. the shape of hominids’ teeth B. the grasses of 3 million years ago
C. the make-up of the tooth enamel D. the teeth marks of early fruit eaters
35. What is it that Prof. Ungar finds doubtful?
A. Hominids probably had different diets.
B. Hominids possibly ate grass-eating animals.
C. Hominids were basically fruit and grass eaters.
D. Hominids had lower level of carbon-13 in the teeth.

Health Mistakes to Avoid Making When Traveling
Everyone is talking about amazing travel experiences. However, there is always the other side of the coin. If you want to add more wonderful travel experiences to your life, make sure you avoid these health mistakes during your next trip.
Refusing injections
At times you are asked to have an injection in order to avoid a certain disease before traveling to your destination. 36 .

How can a person stand out in a country of 1.35 billion? One safe, inexpensive and relatively stress-free way is to choose a(n) 61 (usual) English name.
Chinese people usually get 62 English name in high school or college English class. Others get one once they start working and regularly deal with 63 (foreign), who often have trouble 64 (pronounce) their Chinese names.
Many students 65 (give) traditional English names by their teachers, or end up with common ones that sound like their Chinese names (for example, David for Dawi and Tracy for Cui Li).
The rest go with whatever word appeals to them, 66 (include) adjectives (Vivid), verbs (Happen), animals (Dolphin), brands (KFC) and common nouns (Tears).
Then there are the creative types like Cereal, a kind of main food more commonly 67 (find) on breakfast tables than business cards, but 68 is no doubt that an English name makes an impression.
What’s more special, the parents of 3-year-old Arwenry came up with the name of a character in the novel The Lord of the Rings (Arwen) with part of 69 (they) daughter’s Chinese name (Rui).

We had planned several activities. When we get there, we will visit the elderly in their rooms in groups, present them with flowers and self-made cards to show their respect and love. Then we will do some cleaning and washing to them with the help of the nurses.
As some old people feel lonely, we may chat with them about their old day, changes of our city, or anything they take an interest in it. We may also give them some performances: singing, dancing and so on.
