Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace.

Confucius(孔子) was born in today’s Qufu in Shandong Province in 551 BC. His family was far from being wealthy. But he was a hard-working pupil even in his childhood. As a young man of a little over twenty, he became a small official of the state. Since he was very knowledgeable and serious in work, he had become quite well-known by the time he turned thirty. Confucius had been to many of the states of the time, trying to make his political views accepted by the rulers in running their states. But they turned a d deaf ear to his views and opinions. As a result, Confucius made up his mind to devote all his energies to education. When people learned about this, many of them sent their children to him to be educated. They were accepted and so Confucius became the first man in the history of Chinese education to start a private school.
Yan Hui(颜回), a young man of humble origin, wanted to be accepted as Confucius’s student. But the family was so poor that they even had difficulty providing themselves with daily necessities. He was afraid he would be rejected as he could not afford the tuition(学费) One day he came to where Confucius was giving lectures and overheard Confucius say, “I’m ready to accept anyone that can bring 10 pieces of preserved meat for tuition, whatever his origin” Hearing this, Yan Hui hurried back home and told his friends Zi Lu(子路) and Zi Gong(子贡) about it. A few days later, all three became Confucius’s students.
Confucius was a dedicated educator, having accepted a total of 3,000 students in his life, of whom 72 were outstanding scholars. Through educational work, Confucius succeeded in spreading his political views, which eventually became an independent school of thought and had a great influence on China for thousands of years.
25.Confucius had become very famous by the time he turned thirty because ______.
A.he had rich knowledge and took his work seriously
B.his political view had been widely accepted
C.he was a hard-working pupil when he was young.
D.many people in the government knew him well
26.The underlined phrase “turned a deaf ear to” in the first paragraph probably means “______”.
A.were willing to accept something
B.refused to listen to someone
C.gave away something important to others.
D.made someone’s ear deaf
27.From the last part of the first paragraph, we can learn that _____.
A.nobody hoped to send their children to school then
B.Confucius was the first person to start education for all in China
C.Confucius was happy to work in the government
D.Confucius started his school with the help of the government

I’m a travel lover. I think it is very exciting to go to new places, experience different situations and see new things. Here’s what I have come up with about why my travel is so interesting.
To start with, whether we know it or not, every day is filled with anxiety about things that we don’t need to worry about in the first place. Going to new places is a good chance to escape from our everyday worries. For example, after a whole day at work, I’m often physically and mentally tired and start to worry about things. However, the moment I get on the train or bus to my next destination(目的地) I forget all my tiredness and worries.
Next is one of the most important things in travel: movement. I always take along books to read on my train trips, but in the end, only about five pages or so ever get read, because I just look at things out of the window. Just the ability to move is very enjoyable. Movement also means that we are going to new places and seeing new things. But why is that important? Because experiencing new situations, people and ideas can help us to learn about new things and grow. I have never gone on a trip and come back as the same person; I have always changed and grown through travel.
So take every type of trip you can, at every chance you get, and you will not only experience more of the world, but will become a happier person with rich experiences.
28.The passage is mainly about .
A.how to have a comfortable life
B.how to prepare for a trip
C.why travel is so exciting
D.why some people are tired of travelling
29.Why doesn’t the author read much on train trips?
A.Because he doesn’t like reading on the train
B.Because his attention was taken away by the beautiful view.
C.Because he is too busy working to read.
D.Because he is so tired that he can’t read.
30.People who travel to new places will ________.
①learn new things
②become happier
③get more experiences
④have more chances to read
A.①②③④
B.①②④
C.②③④
D.①②③
31.The author develops the passage mainly by________.
A.giving explanations
B.giving examples
C.listing number
D.following the natural time order
D
It seems hard to watch someone yawn(打哈欠) and not to yawn ourselves. Even reading about yawning can make you do it. Now, a new study has found why yawning has such a powerful force.Yawning when others yawn, the study suggests, is a form of social connection. Kids don’t develop this behavior until around age four, the study found. Autistic(患自闭症的)children are less likely to catch yawns. In the most serious cases, they never do. Yawning might help doctors to see whether the children are developing rightly. The work could also lead to a better understanding of the ways that people communicate and connect.
“Emotional(情绪的) effect seems to be a born thing that connects us together,” said Molly Helt, a graduate student at the University of Connecticut. “Yawning may be part of that.” Inspiration for her study came when she tried to get her own autistic son to clear his ears on an airplane. She repeatedly yawned at him, hoping he would yawn back. He never did.
“The fact that autistic kids don’t do it might mean they’re really missing out on that emotional connection with people around them, ” she said. “The biggest thing people try to figure out after birth is how we become humans and understand that humans have minds that are different from others’," she added. "Autistic people never seem to understand that.”
Like infectious (有感染力的)laughter and crying, scientists have found that yawning is a shared experience that improves social connection. Helt said it could fight stress after a period of being nervous and spread a feeling of calm through a group.
32. According to the passage, which of the following statements is True?
A.It is hard to yawn when you see others yawn.
B.Yawning is a form of communication.
C.Autistic children are more likely to catch yawns.
D.Yawning too much does harm to people’s health.
33. In her study, Molly Helt has found that __________.
A.people get inspired when they yawn
B.yawning is a kind of emotional connection among humans
C.people only communicate with others by yawning when they are young
D.yawning helps clear ears on planes
34. From the passage, we can know that______________.
A.it is strange to yawn back if people around you yawn.
B.some kids are too young to yawn after others.
C.autistic children yawn easily when others yawn.
D.yawning can be used to test children’s development.
35. From the the last paragraph, it can be inferred that __________.
A.yawning is different from infectious laughter and crying
B.it is impolite to yawn on some social occasions
C.yawning is a shared experience that improves social connection
D.yawning can make people feel relaxed
二、七选五
根据短文内容,从短文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。
Everyone is forgetful, but as we age, we start to feel like our brains are slowing down a bit—and that can be a very annoying thing. ___36___ Read on for some techniques worth trying.
1. ___37______
People who regularly made plans and looked forward to upcoming events had a 50 percent reduced chance of Alzheimer's disease (早老性痴呆症), according to a recent study. __38____ Something as simple as setting a goal to have a weekly coffee date with a friend will do. There's evidence that people who have a purpose in life or who are working on long or short-term goals appear to do better. In other words, keep your brain looking forward.
2. Go for a walk
Mildly raised glucose (葡萄糖) levels can harm the area of the brain that helps you form memories and physical activity can help get blood glucose down to normal levels. In fact, exercise produces chemicals that are good for your brain. ___39___
3. Learn something new
Take a Spanish class online, join a drawing club, or learn to play cards. A study found that mental stimulation (刺激) limits the weakening effects of aging on memory and the mind.

A. Focus on the future.

D. So take a few minutes each day to do some reading.
