阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
At4:53pm on January 12, United Nations aid workers Jens Kristensen was at his desk reading documents on the third floor of the Christopher Hotel, which served as UN headquarters in Port-au-Prince, when he felt a tremor(震颤). Four seconds later, the earthquake hit.
“In a split second, I consider whether to run for the door or hide under my desk,” says Kristensen,48.“The door was closed, and I thought that maybe it was too far and I would be caught under falling debris(杂物), so I hid under the table.”A bookshelf topped onto his desk, protecting him from being crushed by rubble and trapping him in a tiny pocket. “I was confined as if in a small coffin,” he says. It was so dark, and it didn’t matter if his eyes were open or closed. He used the light from his mobile phone to see around him. He found, among other items, a jar of instant coffee. “I had no food or water, only the coffee to suck on if I needed it.”
At about 6:30 am on January 17, an oil leak silenced the building’s generators, and Kristensen was able to hear muffled voices above where he was buried. “I thought, I was too tired to bang and shout. But then I realized, I had to take every chance. This could be one.”So he called out. Six hours later, Kristensen saw his rescuers’ faces. “It was so amazing. I felt I had received a second birthday,” he recalls.
Dehydration(脱水) and pains but with only a bruise and a scratch, Kristensen took three days to recover. The UN lost more than 90 people in Haiti. But Kristensen says that the outpouring of love helps heal the pain: “The genuine happiness of people toward me here has been wonderful. You feel part of a larger family.”
21. What protected Jens Kristensen from being injured by falling bricks?
A. The bookshelf B. The desk C. The door D. The pocket
22. When Jens Kristensen heard the voices, he came to know that _______ .
A. he couldn’t have the chance to survive the earthquake
B. his parents arrived here to save him at once
C. he was able to ask for help from rescuers
D. he was so tired that he couldn’t say anything at all
23. Which of the following would be the best tile for this passage?
A. The rescuer’s day B. An aid worker’s life
C. A dangerous adventure D. Kristensen’s experience in an earthquake
B
The writer Margaret Mitchell is best known for writing Gone with the Wind, first published in 1936. Her book and the movie based on it, tell a story of love and survival during the American Civil War. Visitors to the Margaret Mitchell House in Atlanta, Georgia, can go where she lived when she started composing the story and learn more about her life.
Our first stop at the Margaret Mitchell House is an exhibit area telling about the writer’s life. She was born in Atlanta in 1900. She started writing stories
14
when she was a child. She started working as a reporter for the Atlanta Journal newspaper in 1922. One photograph of Ms. Mitchell, called Peggy, shows her talking to a group of young college boys. She was only about one and a half meters tall. The young men tower over her, but she seems very happy and sure of herself. The tour guide explains: “Now in this picture Peggy is interviewing some boys from Georgia Tech, asking them such questions as ‘Would you really marry a woman who works?’ And today it’d be ‘Would you marry one who doesn’t?’ ”
The Margaret Mitchell House is a building that once contained several apartments. Now we enter the first floor apartment where Ms. Mitchell lived with her husband, John Marsh. They made fun of the small apartment by calling it “The Dump”.
Around 1926, Margaret Mitchell had stopped working as a reporter and was at home healing after an injury. Her husband brought her books to read from the library. She read so many books that he bought her a typewriter and said it was time for her to write her own book. Our guide says Gone with the Wind became a huge success. Margaret Mitchell received the Pulitzer Prize for the book. In 1939 the film version was released. It won ten Academy Awards, including Best Picture.
24. The book Gone with the Wind was _________.
A. first published on a newspaper B. awarded ten Academy Awards
C. written in “The Dump” D. adapted from a movie
25. The underlined phrase “tower over” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to_________.
A. be very pleased with B. show great respect for
C. be much taller than D. show little interest in
26. Why did Ms. Mitchell stop working as a reporter according to the passage ?
A. Because she was rich enough. B. Because she was injured then.
C. Because her husband didn’t like it. D. Because she wanted to write books.
27. Which is the best title for the passage ?
A. Gone with the Wind: A Huge Success.
B. Margaret Mitchell: A Great Female Writer.
C. An Introduction of the Margaret Mitchell House.
D. A Trip to Know Margaret Mitchell.

People who smoke could lose around one third of their daily memory, researchers say.
A study by a team at Northumbria University showed that smokers lost more of their memory when compared to non-smokers. And the research also found that those who kicked the habit saw their ability to recollect information restored to almost the same level as non-smokers.
The study involved more than seventy 18-to-25-year-olds and included a tour of the university’s campus. Those who took part were asked to recall small details, such as a list of songs played at a campus concert and tasks completed at various points－known as real world memory test. Smokers performed badly, remembering just 59 percent of tasks. But those who had given up smoking remembered 74 percent and those who had never smoked recalled 81 percent of tasks.
Dr. Tom Heffernan, who leads Northumbria University’s Collaboration for Drug and Alcohol Research Group, said the findings would be useful in anti-smoking campaigns. He said, “Given that there are up to 10 million smokers in the UK and as many as 45 million in the United States, it's important to understand the effects smoking has on everyday cognitive（认知的）function-of which prospective memory is an excellent example. ”
“This is the first time that a study has set out to examine whether giving up smoking has an impact on memory. We already know that giving up smoking has huge health benefits for the body, but this study also shows how stopping smoking can
14
have knock-on benefits for cognitive functions too. ’’
The research will now investigate the effects of passive smoking on memory, while Dr. Heffernan and Dr. Terence O’Neil will look into the effects of third-hand smoking－toxins left on curtains and furniture.
32. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Smoking does harm to health.
B. Smokers take a tour to the University’s campus.
C. Smoking can affect one’s memory.
D. Smokers are compared to non-smokers.
33. How did those who took part in the study perform when asked to recall small details?
A. Smokers did the worst among the participants.
B. Non-smokers could recall about half of them.
C. Smokers could recall nothing at all.
D. Those who gave up smoking did best.
34. According to Dr. Tom Heffernan, the findings_______.
A. would be really a surprise to the public
B. would contribute to fighting against smoking
C. would be used in real world memory test
D. would be nothing new to the researchers
35. What does the underlined word “impact’’ most probably mean?
A. order B. impression C. expression D. effect

Four benefits of writing by hand
Today is National Handwriting Day! Although we don’t write like we used to, here are four ways handwriting is still helpful.
It’s better for learning.
36 That’s because putting ink to paper stimulates (刺激) the brain. One study from 2010 found that the brain areas related to learning “lit up” much more when kids were asked to write words like “spaceship” by hand versus just studying the word closely.
37
Many famous authors prefer writing by hand to the use of a typewriter or computer. Writer Susan Sontag once said that she penned her first drafts (草稿) before typing them up for editing later. She said, “ 38 ” A 2009 study seems to support Sontag’s preference for writing by hand: Elementary school students who wrote essays with
14
a pen not only wrote more than their keyboard-tapping friends, but they also wrote faster and in more complete sentences.
It will prevent you from being distracted.
The computer in front of you is really a distraction. 39 In 2012, scientists even suggested that taking five-minute breaks to browse Tumblr or BuzzFeed could make you a more productive worker. However, when it’s time to work on that essay, have only a pen and paper in front of you.
It keeps your brain sharp as you get older.
40 According to The Wall Street Journal, some physicians say that the act of writing is good exercise for those who want to keep their minds sharp as they age.
A. It makes you a better writer.
B. Writing is good for your brain.
C. Of course, the Internet isn’t all bad.
D. I like the slowness of writing by hand.
E. Try writing by hand at least 20 minutes each day.
F. Many writers have a preference for writing by hand.
G. One of the most effective ways to study is to rewrite your notes by hand.

On Teenagers Studying Abroad
Nowadays more and more people are sending their children abroad for further study. 38%of the people agree to this. They think their children can receive better education and learn a foreign language as well. And they can have more golden opportunities to develop themselves. What’s the most important thing is that they can also learn to depend on themselves and broaden their horizons, improving their understanding of the world.
However, 62% of the people are not in favor of it. The reasons are as follows. First of all, they think studying abroad costs too much money. Besides, children are too young to take care of themselves well. Many parents are worried about the safety of their children.
In my opinion, I agree with the second view. Although studying abroad is a good
14
choice, students can also receive good education in our country, as long as our government take some measures to set up various schools and colleges to meet the needs of people.
