阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
The night fell heavy in the heights of the mountains and the man could not see anything. All was black. Zero visibility. The moon and the stars were covered by the clouds. As he was climbing only a few feet away from the top of the mountain, he slipped suddenly and fell into the air, falling at great speed. He could only see black spots as he went down, and the terrible sensation of being sucked by gravity grew more and more powerful.
He kept falling, and in the moments of great fear, it came to his mind all the good and bad aspects of his life, his ambition, his failure, relatives, friends and... He was thinking now about how close death was getting, when all of a sudden he felt the rope tied to his waist pull him very hard. His body was hanging in the air.
Only the rope was holding him and in that moment of stillness he had no other choices but to scream, “Help me! Help me, God.”
All of a sudden, a deep voice coming from the sky answered, “What do you want me to do?”
“Save me, God.”
“Do you really think I can save you?”
“Of course! I believe you can.”
“Then cut the rope tied to your waist.”
There was a moment of silence and the man decided to hold on to the rope with all his strength.
The rescue team tells that the next morning a climber was found dead and frozen, his body hanging from a rope. His hands holding tight to it. Only one foot away from the ground.
And we? How attached we are to the rope tied to our waist? Sometimes we are always tied to what we take as the only dependence. Maybe we should have a try to let ourselves go. 21．We can know that________.
A．the man fell down on reaching the top B．the man thought nothing during falling C．the man was saved thanks to the rope D．the man was found dead at daybreak 22．Actually the man really believed _______.
A．God B．himself C．fortune D．nobody 23．What’s the best title of the passage?
A．Let go of the rope B．Believe yourself
C．Have the Last Laugh D．The Master of Fate
24．Where will we probably read the passage?
A．New York Times B．Tourism Journals
C．Reader’s Digest D．China Daily

Another must-read for history fans, McCullough tells the story of Orville and Wilbur Wright, the brothers who taught the world how to fly. Drawing on all types of historical data —from personal diaries and scrapbooks, to thousands of private letters of family letters — we get
a close look at the actual personalities behind one of the most influential moments in history.
2. The Wonder Garden, by Lauren Acampora
This novel is really a collection of several interwoven（交织）stories of people living in the rich Connecticut suburbs. From tales of an elderly artist to a young mother to a woman whose husband just behaves carelessly, The Wonder Garden gives us an unforgettable reminder that there’s often so much we don’t know about what happens with our neighbors behind closed doors.
3. Between You & Me: Confessions of a Comma Queen, by Mary Norris

C
Yes, I admit it. I’m a true, incurab le book abuser(施虐人). I like to fold dog ears. I like to break my books open so that their backs crack.
I had a friend, who loved rubbing all the pages. I have another friend who is the exact opposite. She needs to keep her books completely new. I understand her. But once I get to know the book, I can’t help but show it some tough love. Because, believe me, although it
sounds like I’m an abuser without a heart, that’s what it’s all about. Not hidden aggressions, or a lack of respect; not at all. Let me explain.
I have one book by my favorite author Diana Gabaldon that looks like rubbish. It’s completely wrinkled up from rain, and on its way to falling apart. I brought it like that to have her sign it. I hope she’s realized what an honor it is to her as a writ er. It means, basically, that I’ve read the book to bits. I wouldn’t bother to mistreat books that don’t mean anything to me. Only the best books get read well, carried everywhere, worth intense reading where I’m so caught up with words that I will spill c offee over it.
For my further defense, I would like to call in a witness. I have a cook book. Like almost all my other cook books, it’s worn, and there are dirty marks of food in it. The book is called Tex-Mex—Food, Music and the Joy of Life from Texas. Just as the title suggests, this is more than a cook book.
These are the words on the very first page:
Tex-Max hasn’t been trendy for over 30 years. Considering it’s anything but cheap in calories, it probably never will be, either. Tacos(墨西哥卷) are instead all about such an untrendy things as a love for life. It’s something you enjoy while spending time with your loved ones. …
We hope, therefore, that this cook book will soon be as dirty as a really old and used cook book should be.
Oh, how true! How wonderf ul! And it’s the same thing for books: whether you’re a book preserver or a book abuser, the approach is based on love and a joy for life. Because I believe all who are passionate about books, are passionate people.
28. According to the passage, the writer often does the following to his book
except______.
A. have it dog-eared
B. carry it everywhere
C. keep it tidy
D. have dirty marks in it
29. Why does the writer treat his favorite books badly?
A. To cover up his disrespect for its author.
B. To conceal his aggressions to things around.
C. To express his objection to the book preserver.
D. To show his strong affection for the book.
30. The book Tex-Mex—Food, Music and the Joy of Life from Texas is mentioned by the
writer to show that __________________.
A. it is really common to have dirty marks in the cook book
B. Tex-Max is not popular mainly because it’s low in calories
C. the writer is not alone with the view that books should be abused
D. one must try some food like Tex-Max to experience the love for life
31. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. The defense of one who treats books badly.
B. The reasons why a certain book is preferred.
C. The book lovers’ different habits of reading.
D. The different ways to treat different books.
D
Culture and Cuisine
The United States is known for jazz and blue jeans. But travel to Paris and ask your average French citizen about American cuisine (烹饪) and he’s likely to answer, “ McDonalds.” Ask the same thing of any American citizen on any American street and I’m afraid you’d get the same answer, or something close to it.
Hamburgers and hotdogs and fries are all fine, but with American malls and other outlets standardizing everything from clothing to food, the sad truth is that American cuisine is becoming more homogeneous (同样的)―all the same―no matter where you live. True, many Americans are eating more varied foods these days, but these are largely the cuisines of immigrant groups, and they are quite likely to be affected by homogenization of American cuisine.
So what exactly is American cuisine? Well, to some extent it is a reflection of our melting pot culture, meaning that Europeans made huge contributions in the form of wheat, dairy products, pork, beef and poultry. But American cuisine also includes products that once were known only to the New World, including potatoes, corn, pumpkin,
sweet potatoes, and peanuts.
The one region of the country where you still find all these
things in daily use is the Deep South. The South lost the Civil War,
but children of the southerners are winning the battle to preserve and
advance their cooking traditions —and in this case one of the few
cuisines can truly be called American, which is why we’re pleased to
have Low Country cuisine in this issue of food creation. That’s right, grits and gravy are back in a big way in cities like Charleston and
Savannah. Truth is, they never really left, but up until a decade ago Low Country cuisine was more common at home than in restaurants.
In fact, a large number of tourists now go to the lower Atlantic region in order to experience this extraordinary cuisine for themselves. Time will tell whether Low Country cuisine becomes popular in other regions of the country in the way that, say, Italian cuisine has, but it’s amazing and inspiring to see one of our true cultural treasures enjoying renewed popularity in these increasingly homogeneous times.
32．According to the passage, American cuisine impresses people as being _______.
A ．dull and changeless
B ．rich and various
C ．popular and delicious
D ．disagreeable and unpleasant
33．It can be seen that the writer feels regretful that _______.
A ．
cuisines of other countries play a more important role in America
Grits and Gravy
B．American cuisine has become increasingly lacking in variety
C．American cuisine tends to vary because of immigration
D．American cuisine is being changed by foreign cuisines
34．From the passage, we know that grits and gravy _______.
A．were cooked with new materials after the Civil War
B．are gaining popularity in the south of America
C．were more popular over ten years ago
D．are seldom served in restaurants
35．What’s the writer’s attitude towards the rene wal of Low Country cuisine in America?
A．Concerned and cautious. B．Hopeless and doubtful.
C．Positive and supportive. D．Critical and disapproving.

African-Americans are at higher-than-average risk for heart disease and stroke; people don't even know they have it, which increases the risk. Medstar Washington Hospital Center is trying to reach this population to train them. 40 . For example, helping the people monitor their blood pressure. If people realize they are at risk for heart disease, they'll make lifestyle changes: lose weight, exercise, eat the right foods and keep in touch with a doctor.
