Last week I was riding my special motorbike and then stopped at a convenience store.As I was getting my wheelchair off the back, a man watched me from his car and I noticed a wheelchair in his back seat.We spoke for a moment and I asked him about the wheelchair. He answered that it was for his daughter.“Well, do you think she would like to go for a ride on my motorbike with me?” I asked. He seemed shocked that a total stranger would ask him this.He thought about it for a second and said, “OK, as long as I can follow you.”
He introduced me to Amy and he sat her on my back seat.Her father followed me for a few miles and she talked non-stop about what she wanted for Christmas. As we came back to the convenience store, she said, “This ride is the best Christmas present I could ever receive.I have been in a wheelchair my whole life and didn't know I could do this.” I told her about some of the other things I do (ski, travel the world by myself, etc.).As her father was taking her off my bike, she turned to him and said, “Oh Daddy, I'm going to be OK.Mr.Bryant does all kinds of things, and I will too.” Her father turned away as a tear of joy rolled down his cheek. He hugged me and said, “I was sitting here praying for a gift for Amy that would encourage her.She often felt that her life was dull
compared to other children.God answered my prayer just now.Now I pray that God will bless you for your gift to Amy today.” I believed what he said.Being kind and thoughtful to others, we can be an answer to prayer.
24.How did the father feel at first when the author invited his daughter for a ride?

Public transport is declining in the rich world. To those who have to squeeze onto the number 25 bus in London, or the A train in New York, the change might not be noticeable. But public transport is becoming less busy in those places, and passenger numbers are flat or falling in almost every American city. That is despite healthy growth in urban populations and employment.
Although transport agencies blame their unpopularity on things like roadworks and broken signals, it seems more likely that they are being outcompeted. App-based taxi services like Uber and Lyft are more comfortable and convenient than trains or buses. Cycling is nicer than it was, and rental bikes are more widely available. Cars are cheap to buy, thanks to cut-rate loans, and ever cheaper to run. Online shopping, home working and office-sharing mean more people can avoid travelling altogether.
The competition is only likely to grow. More than one laboratory is developing new transport technologies and applications. Silicon Valley invented Uber and, more recently, apps that let people rent electric scooters(滑板车) and then abandon them on the pavement. China created sharing-bicycles and battery-powered "e-bikes", both of which are spreading.
Transport agencies should accept the upstarts, and copy them. Cities tend either to ignore app-based services or to try to push them off the streets. That is understandable, given the rules-are-for-losers attitude of firms like Uber. But it is an error.
It is doubtful that most people make hard distinctions between public and private transport. They just want to get somewhere, and there is a cost in time, money and comfort. An ideal system would let them move across a city for a single payment, transferring from trains to taxis to bicycles as needed. Building a platform to allow that is hard, and requires much sweet-talking of traditional networks as well as technology firms. It is probably the secret to keeping cities moving.
28. What is the change in public transport in big cities?
A. It is becoming busier. B. It is getting less popular.
C. There are fewer traffic delays. D.There is more new transport.
29. In the author’s opinion, the reason for the decline of public transport is that ______.
A. there are roadworks and broken signals
B. people are becoming healthier and employed
C. cars and bikes are more and more available
D. transport agencies are seemingly less competitive
30. How does the author develop his idea in Paragraph 3?
A. By giving examples B. By providing research results
C. By stating arguments D. By comparing different approaches
31. According to the text, the key to keeping cities moving is ____________.
A. to develop an ideal system that satisfies everyone
B. to build a platform that appeals to transport agencies
C. to provide people with more means of transportation
D. to cater for both traditional networks and technology firms
D
Why do some people live to be older than others? You know the standard explanations: keeping a moderate diet, engaging in regular exercise, etc. But what effect does your personality have on your longevity(长寿)? Do some kinds of personalities lead to longer lives? A new study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society looked at this question by examining the personality characteristics of 246 children of people who had lived to be at least 100.
The study shows that those living the longest are more outgoing, more active and less neurotic (神经质的) than other people. Long-living women are also more likely to be sympathetic and cooperative than women with a normal life span. These findings are in agreement with what you would expect from the evolutionary theory: those who like to make friends and help others can gather enough resources to make it through tough times. Interestingly, however, other characteristics that you might consider advantageous had no impact on whether study participants were likely to live longer. Those who were more self-disciplined, for instance, were no more likely to live to be very old. Also, being open to new ideas had no relationship to long life, which might explain all those bad-tempered old people who are fixed in their ways.
Whether you can successfully change your personality as an adult is the subject of a longstanding psychological debate. But the new paper suggests that if you want long life, you should strive to be as outgoing as possible.
Unfortunately, another recent study shows that your mother’s personality may also help determine your longevity. That study looked at nearly 28,000 Norwegian mothers and found that those moms who were more anxious, depressed and angry were more likely to feed their kids unhealthy diets. Patterns of childhood eating can be hard to break when we’re adults, which may mean that kids of depressed moms end up dying younger. Personality isn’t destiny, and everyone knows that individuals can learn to change. But both studies show that long life isn’t just a matter of your physical health but of your mental health.
32. The aim of the study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society is____.
A. to investigate the role of exercise in living a long life
B .to find out if one’s lifestyle has any effect on their health
C. to see whether people’s personality affects their life span
D. to examine all the factors contributing to longevity
33. What does the author imply about outgoing and sympathetic people?
A. They are more likely to get over hardship.
B. They are better at negotiating an agreement.
C. They generally appear more resourceful.
D. They have a good understanding of evolution.
34. What finding of the study might prove somewhat out of our expectation?
A. Personality characteristics that prove advantageous actually vary with times.
B. Easy-going people can also live a relatively long life.
C. Readiness to accept new ideas helps one enjoy longevity.
D. Such personality characteristics as self-discipline have no effect on longevity.
35.What can we learn from the findings of the two new studies?
A. Anxiety and depression more often than not cut short one’s life span.
B. Health is in large part related to one’s lifestyle.
C. Personality plays a decisive role in how healthy one is.
D. Longevity results from a combination of mental and physical health.

A volunteering vacation can be a meaningful way to spend your time off, but to make the trip satisfying both for you and the cause you are supporting, several factors need to be considered. Here is some advice on planning the ideal vacation:
36 There are hundreds of causes to volunteer for, and finding one close to your heart will lead to a more worthwhile trip. Possibilities include wildlife conservation, education, environmental protection, health and nutrition. Also, consider any personal and professional skills that you can contribute. 37
Choose your destination and setting. Your volunteering trip will be more enjoyable if you use it to reach a favorite destination. If Southeast Asia is on your mind, helping with tree-planting programs in Bali would benefit the environment and let you appreciate the scenic island. 38 Is volunteering outdoors in a hot or snowy climate appealing, or do you prefer being in an air-conditioned office?
Ask the right questions. 39 Be aware that most volunteering programs require a weeklong commitment. Ask other questions like: How many hours of work per day is required? Are there days off? Will you be working individually or as part of a team? And what are the goals of your efforts? 40 Ask if the cost includes only accommodations or meals and transportation too.
A. Figure out your cause.
B. Find a well-respected organization. .
C. And think about the surroundings you want.
D. Your duty there is to help, as well as to rest and relax.
E. The more you know about your trip, the more successful it will be.
F. Despite the word "volunteer", these vacations usually cost you some money.
G. If you' re a doctor, for example, working at a health clinic could be an ideal fit.

第二节书面表达范文(25分)
Dear Kate,
I am Li Hua, a Senior 3 student. Recently, I’ve been busy preparing for my College Entrance Exam, but unfortunately I find it quite hard to concentrate on my study. So I’m writing to ask you for help.
I’m encountering some problems which trouble me a lot. First, I have to spend so much time on my homework that I hardly have time to take sports. Moreover, the high expectation from the teachers and my parents makes me extremely stressed because I don’t want to let them down. What troubles me most is that it’s difficult for me to fall asleep every night.
Faced with the above problems, I’m anxious to get your help. Could you please offer me some advice on how to solve these problems?
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

W: It’s wonderful. We can save some money for our home. Oh, no! I was supposed to give Helen a call an hour ago. It’s already a quarter to five. I left my phone with her. She must be still waiting for my call.
M: Use my phone, Darling.
W: OK. Is my telephone number 61199621?
M: Oh, my god. You still don’t remember it. It’s 61299621. Only the last number is different from mine. Mine is 2.
W: Don’t blame me. I have changed it for only three days.
M: OK. You should write it down on your notebook.

Hello. My name’s John Williams. I’m an English teacher. And I have started a website to help you improve English listening and speaking skills as quickly as possible. My online English lessons take just 5 to 10 minutes each day to complete. And there are no advertisements to take your attention away. You can also download the sound files to your computer and exercise them and take your lessons again anytime. I’ve designed the online English course to be a very easy, cheap and quick way to improve your English speaking, listening and conversation skills. And also to improve your listening scores in English exams. Every day, you’ll learn some new English vocabulary, idioms and phrasal verbs. And you’ll feel more confident in working and making friends in English. You’ll also learn correct English pronunciation. I always make sure my online English lessons are short, interesting and easy to remember. My idea of learning English is that it is best for you to learn a little each day and remember it clearly. This idea doesn’t mean a new method, but instead it is a concept. I hope you can accept. Whether you’re taking other English classes or not, and no matter what method you use, I can help you to achieve your English learning goals.
