A
I was sure that I was to be killed. I became terribly nervous. I fumbled(摸索) in my pockets to see if there were any cigarettes, which had escaped their search. I found one and because of my shaking hands, I could hardly get it to my lips. But I had no matches, they had taken those. I looked through the bars at the guard. He did not make eye contact (联系)with me. I called out to him “Have you got a light?” He looked at me, shrugged （耸肩）and came over to light my cigarette. As he came close and lit the match, his eyes unconsciously（无意识） locked with mine. At that moment, I smiled. I don’t know why I did that. Perhaps it was nervousness, perhaps it was because, when you get very close, one to another, it is very hard not to smile. In any case, I smiled. In that instant, it was as though a spark jumped across the gap between our two hearts, our two human souls. I know he didn’t
want to, but my smile leaped through the bars and generated a smile on his lips, too. He lit my cigarette but stayed near, looking at me directly in the eyes and continuing to smile.
I kept smiling at him, now thinking of him as a person and not just a guard. "Do you have kids?" he asked. “Yes, here, here.” I took out my wallet and nervously fumbled for the pictures of my family. He, too, took out the pictures of his family and began to talk about his plans and hopes for them. My eyes were filled with tears. I said that I feared that I’d never see my family again, never have the chance to see them grow up. Tears came to his eyes, too. Suddenly, without another word, he unlocked my cell and silently led me out. Out of the prison, quietly and by back routes, out of the town. There, at the edge of town, he released me. And without another word, he turned back toward the town.

Paparazzi, (狗仔队)or “paps”, are photographers who take pictures of famous people when they are not at the center of public attention. Paps are different from professional photographers or journalists because they never take ordinary photos.
The goal for paparazzi is to get pictures that no one else will get and then sell the pictures to the buyer who offers the most money — normally a small newspaper, magazine or website.
There is no law against paparazzi taking pictures in public places. However, there are laws that protect certain individuals. For example, child protection laws stop improper pictures of anyone under 16 from being published.
There is also no law that stops paparazzi from following celebrities（名人） and taking their pictures either. However, if paps are secretly following them and taking pictures of their faces, they could get into trouble.
Most paparazzi hang out on streets and hot spots for celebrities, waiting for the opportunity to take a picture of a star. Many stay on the streets until the early hours of the
morning when celebrities（名人） are leaving nightclubs and looking a little worse for wear. However, some have other ways to make sure they get pictures. Many paps are in contact with “informers” who know the locations of celebrities at any given time. They then pass the information on to paparazzi. An informer could be anyone — from a restaurant waiter to a salesman.
Most of the time, paparazzi get a bad reputation for following celebrities. But sometimes stars or their managers will contact paps themselves and tell them exactly where and when they will go. What a love-hate relationship between paparazzi and celebrities!
16.Which of the following things paparazzi might do would be against the law?
A. Getting unsuitable pictures of a 10-year-old actress published.
B. Taking pictures of famous people in public places.
C. Following a famous woman singer secretly and taking her pictures.
D. Hanging out at the places where celebrities often appear.
17. In order to earn big money a pap has to ________.
A. get the only first-hand pictures
B. sell the pictures to a big newspaper
C. make friends with famous people
D. know the locations of celebrities
18. The fifth paragraph mainly tells us ________.
A. how paparazzi get the pictures
B. how dangerous paparazzi’s job is
C. how paparazzi contact informers .
D. how much paparazzi pay for the pictures
19. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Paparazzi always take pictures when famous people are tired.
B. Stars hate paparazzi and don’t want to be followed.
C. Paparazzi and famous people rely on each other sometimes.
D. Informers might get paparazzi into trouble.
20. The underlined phrase "hang out" probably means _______.
A. wander about B. keep away C. check out D. leave out
C
A new report says African governments are ill prepared to handle（处理） the growing number of people over age 65. The population in Africa as in other parts of the world, is getting older. Currently, there are 36 million people on the continent 65 years and above，which is 3.6 percent of the population, up from 3.3 percent 10 years ago. That could rise to 4.5 percent by 2030 and 10 percent by 2050. The African development Bank is raising concerns over the shortage of health insurance and pensions（养老金）.
The African Development Bank says, "Aging is highly linked with long-term physical and mental disability and a number of long-term chronic (慢性的) conditions."
"Africa is not well prepared to care for its aging population right now. And it needs to prepare for this fact." said Professor Mthuli Ncube, the African Development Bank's chief economist. African nations spend far less on healthcare than developed nations. Not so many countries have well developed medical aid plans for the elderly, whether they are privately provided plans or indeed government plans. If you look at the pension plans, you will find
the pension industries are not well developed in some of the countries.
Professor Mthuli Ncube said African governments failed to take action on health insurance and pensions because they were busy with economic reforms.
Another challenge for Africa is the worsening of informal systems of social protection. That is cash and support from both the extended family and community sources.
The African Development Bank recommends governments help carry out health insurance and pension plans. Ncube said African governments didn't have to handle the health insurance burden alone. "It is not only a must but also an opportunity for private companies to add their bit in this regard", he said. The report also recommends that African governments consider providing ways of free health services, medications and long-term health care facilities for the elderly.
21. From the first paragraph we know the facts except that ________.
A. the speed of people aging is becoming quicker
B. African governments are not well prepared to deal with the aging population
C. Africa has the largest aging population
D. the shortage of health insurance and pensions adds to African governments' difficulty in dealing with the aging population
22. Which is not highly linked with the aging according to the passage
A. Long-term physical disability. B. Long-term mental disability.
C. Long-term chronic illnesses. D. Long-term shortage of care and love.
23. What got in the way of developing health insurance and pensions in Africa
A. The economic reforms. B. Too many old people.
C. The shortage of land. D. The development of the economy.
24. How can the aging problem be solved in Africa according to Ncube
A. African governments should spend as much money on healthcare as developed countries.
B. African people should save enough money to insure their health.
C. African governments should combine with private companies to finish health insurance and pension pains.
D. Private sources should take the main responsibility to help the elderly.
25. The article is most likely to be seen________.
A. in a story book. B. in a newspaper.
C. on a TV program. D. in a textbook.
第二节（共5个小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
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项
Of the many unpleasant emotions we can experience, fear may top the list. 26 . Fear can also keep us from pursuing the things in life that really matter -- like following our dreams, and developing important relationships. I have some ideas, though, of how to be free from fear.
l Experience fear.
I used to be very afraid of speaking in front of people. I would get sweaty palms and my stomach would be so tied up that I wouldn't be able to eat. However, each time I spoke, I noticed afterwards that it wasn't that bad. Things I fear are never as bad in reality as I make them out in my mind.27 .
l Create space.
The first and most important step to being fearless is to create some space between ourselves and the emotion of fear. This isn't accomplished by ignoring the fear, or trying to talk ourselves out of it. 28 . In fact, a recent research shows that by simply admitting the emotion we actually begin to reverse the "fight or flight(逃避)" response in the body.
l Control the breath and feel the fear.
Once we acknowledge the presence of fear, the second step is to control the breathing so that it becomes slower and gentler. We try to make the breath just a little bit longer, and feel how fear manifests(展现) in the body. 29 .
With practice, we can create enough space between us and the emotion of fear so that we're able to replace a fearful thought with a positive one. 30 . For instance, before I get up to speak in front of a group of people, I imagine that the audience is positively impressed by what I say and that I manage to complete the speech successfully.
A. Space is created only when we can honestly acknowledge that fear exists.
B. We can imagine a positive outcome for whatever we're about to do.
C. Fear, if left uncontrolled, can even destroy our life.
D. So one way to get rid of fear is to simply push ourselves to do things that we fear.
E. When we can see a positive outcome in our mind, fear no longer holds us back.
F. But fear is more than just physically unpleasant.
G. As we pay attention to the physical symptoms of fear, we can see fear objectively.

In 1982, Steven Callahan was crossing the Atlantic alone in his sailboat when it struck something and sank．He got into a life boat, but his supplies were 31 ．His chances of surviving were small. 32 when three fishermen found him 76 days later, he was alive —much 33 than he was when he started, but alive．

"I tell myself I can 44 it," wrote Callahan in his book．Compared to what others have been through, I'm fortunate．I tell myself these things over and over, 45 up courage．．．"
I wrote that down after I read it．It 46 me as something important．And I've told myself the same thing when my own goals seemed 47 off or when my problems seemed too terrible．And every time I've said it, I have always come back to my 48 ．
The truth is, our circumstances are only bad compared to something better.
But others have been through the much worse, that is, in comparison with 49 others have been through, you're fortunate．Tell this to yourself over and over again, and it will help you

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。
The British have many traditions but there is nothing more quintessential (典型的) than taking afternoon tea. We know the Brits have a love affair with drinking tea, 51 more than 160 million cups drunk every day, but it was the invention of afternoon tea that turned tea-drink into 52 popular pastime（娱乐）.
This sociable feast includes drinking good quality tea 53 (comfort) while nibbling (小口吃) on nice sandwiches, scones with jam and cream and a selection of small cakes. And, of course, it can only happen in the afternoon! Afternoon tea, which 54 (design) as a light snack to bridge the gap between lunch and dinner, dates back to the 1840s. It went on to become a 55 (fashion) social occasion for the upper classes.
Now there is a resurgence (复苏) in its 56 (popular) in the UK and it is available to anyone who can afford it. 57 it can be enjoyed at home, the best way to experience it is at a smart hotel or café. But if you’re thinking of visiting such a place 58 (enjoy) a plate of sweet and savory treats with a steaming hot brew, remember the rules you must follow to avoid 59 (ask) to leave.
Writer Henry James once noted that “there are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea.” I’m sure once you 60 (try) it, you will agree.

Being responsible is actually not that difficult. I used to think it is hard to grow up into a responsible member of society. An incident happening in a rainy Sunday afternoon changed my attitude. I was on my way to the bookstore and was waiting for the green light while a girl was knocked down by passing car, which drove off quickly. A man immediately gave her first aid and I had joined in without hesitation. Soon many help was given to the girl. Because we sent her to the nearest hospitals in time, she was able to receive properly treatment. Not badly injured, I expressed gratitude to those giving help. Compared with the escaped driver, I was proud of that I did.
