It seems that some people go out of their way to get into trouble. That's more or less what happened on the night when Nashville Police Officer Floyd Hyde was on duty.
“I was on the way to a personal-injury accident in West Nashville. As I got onto Highway40, blue lights and sirens (警笛) going, I fell in behind a gold Pontiac Firebird that suddenly seemed to take off quickly down the highway. The driver somehow panicked at the sight of me. He was going more than a hundred miles an hour and began passing cars on the shoulder (路肩).”
But Hyde couldn't go after him. Taking care of the injured people is always more important than worrying about speeders, so the officer had to stay on his way to the accident. But he did try to keep the Firebird in sight as he drove, hoping another nearby unit would be able to step in and stop the speeding car. As it turned out, keeping the Firebird in sight was not that difficult. Every turn the Pontiac made was the very turn the officer needed to get to the accident scene.
Hyde followed the Pontiac all the way to his destination. At that point he found another unit had already arrived at the accident scene. His help wasn't needed. Now he was free to try to stop the driver of the Firebird, who by this time had developed something new to panic about.
“Just about that time,” Hyde says, “I saw fire coming out from under that car, with blue smoke and oil going everywhere. He'd blown his engine. Now he had to stop.”
“After I arrested him, I asked him why he was running. He told me he didn't have a driver's license.”
That accident cost the driver of the Firebird plenty—a thousand dollars for the new engine—not to mention the charges for driving without a license, attempting to run away, and dangerous driving.
24. Why did Floyd Hyde drive the car before he got onto Highway 40
A. To arrest a criminal. B. To catch up with a car.
C. To go to the police station. D. To deal with an accident.
25. What was Hyde's expectation when he was following the Firebird
A. Another nearby unit could stop the speeding car.
B. The driver of the Firebird would turn his car around.
C. Another nearby unit could take care of the injured people.
D. The driver of the Firebird would show him his identity card.
26. What happened to the Firebird
A. Something was wrong with the wheel. B. Something was wrong with the engine.
C. The car crashed into another one. D. The car turned upside down.
27. What is the main idea of the last paragraph
A. The driver had to face the music. B. The driver was finally under control.
C. The driver was actually in a dilemma. D. The driver had to turn to others for help.
C
Chinese scientists have collected seeds of several plants at a height of about 6,200 meters above sea level on the world's highest peak—Mount Qomolangma and will permanently preserve them in a place where seeds can be kept alive for as long as thousands of years.
The seed haven, namely the Germplasm (种质) Bank of Wild Species (GBWS), is located in an ordinary four-story building in a research institute in Kunming, Yunnan Province.
As the genes of most plants are contained in their seeds, germplasm resources have become the carriers of plants' genetic information. A seed bank serves as the most important facility for preserving such resources.
The fast loss of biodiversity and germplasm resources is the main reason for the establishment of seed banks around the world. Construction of the germplasm bank in Kunming started in 2004, and it was put into operation three years later.
“Wildlife germplasm resources have great application potential in the biological industry, attracting global attention, especially for the collection and preservation of wild plants,” said a researcher. Currently, seeds can only be accepted by the GBWS if they tick at least one of the three boxes: endangered, endemic (特有的) or “of economic importance”.
The long-term conservation of a seed is a complex procedure, involving more than 70steps, at the end of which the seed will be stored at -20℃. If properly stored, the seed could theoretically stay alive for decades or even thousands of years.
“When a species is destroyed by natural disasters, we will activate these seeds and bring the species to life,” said Li Dezhu, director of the seed bank.
28. What does the text say about the GBWS in Kunming
A. It has been in use since 2004. B. It lies in a four-story building.
C. It is the largest of its kind in the world. D. It stores the most seeds from Mount Qomolangma.
29. What's the main purpose in establishing the seed bank
A. To develop high-quality seeds. B. To store worldwide seed data.
C. To guide modern agriculture. D. To conserve biodiversity.
30. Which of the following can be accepted by the GBWS
A. Seeds that can grow in extreme weather. B. Seeds that have some medical effect.
C. Seeds with high economic value. D. Seeds widely grown by farmers.
31. Why is the text written
A. Mainly to amuse readers. B. Mainly to solve a problem.
C. Mainly to introduce some plants. D. Mainly to persuade consumers.
D
Former US secretary of state Henry Kissinger, who passed away on Wednesday at the age of 100, will always be remembered for the key role he played in the normalization of China-US relations.
The secret trip he made to Beijing in July 1971, at the height of the Cold War, paved the way for the historic visit by then US president Richard Nixon to the Chinese capital in February 1972.“The week that changed the world” helped end more than 20 years of estrangement(疏远) between China and the United States, and led to the establishment of diplomatic ties in 1979.The following more than four decades of mutually beneficial cooperation between the two countries, although not always smooth sailing, have reshaped the global geopolitical landscape, contributing to peace, stability and the development of the world.
As an diplomat with scholarly understanding of Chinese history and culture, in China Kissinger is heralded for his visionary (有远见的) and insightful thinking on China-US ties. The role he played in bridging the differences between the two countries—as highlighted by the more than 100 trips he paid to China—made him a trusted messenger for successive leaders of both countries.
He was worried by the many US politicians trying to play the Taiwan card to contain China's rise, a situation which, in his view, is against the long-term interests of both China and the US. “Keep in mind that if China and America are in conflict, then the whole world will be divided,”he said. To minimize the chance of the two countries sliding into a serious conflict, Kissinger advised the US“to keep from being adversarial (对抗的) and pursue dialogue instead”. He urged China and the US to cooperate, because“working together, we can achieve great things, not just for our countries, but also for humanity”.
The death of Kissinger is a great loss. But his legacy (遗产) will last forever. What he said and did to help develop a sound and healthy US-China relationship should inspire all those who are working for a better relationship between the two countries. His call for dialogue and cooperation, rather than confrontation and zero-sum competition, should shed light on the course for healthy interactions between the two sides.
32. Why did Kissinger arrive in Beijing in 1972
A. To represent the US to talk about some trade deals.
B. To have a tour around the city and know more about it.
C. To deal with some important personal affairs in the city.
D. To get ready for Richard Nixon's paying a visit to Beijing.
33. What is the possible meaning of the underlined phrase “heralded for” in Paragraph 3
A. Adapted to. B. Praised for. C. Prepared for. D. Attached to.
34. What did Kissinger advocate according to the news report
A. That the US and China should make compromises.
B. That the US and China should go their separate ways.
C. That the US and China should lead the world together.
D. That the US and China should communicate and work together.
35. Which can serve as the best title for the news report
A. Kissinger's legacy needs to be passed on
B. Kissinger warns America not to contain China's rise
C. Kissinger worries about conflict between America and China
D. Kissinger—an diplomat with scholarly understanding of Chinese history and culture

Why You Should Schedule Some “Me Time” Every Day
Most people in our culture feel the need to be going all the time. 36 if we are not working and putting our energy into something. We feel taking time for ourselves is a waste. And to some extent, it's true—pushing yourself nonstop may bring some measure of success. However, going for long periods without time for yourself may cost you a lot in the end. Stress and the inability to enjoy a little time out have very real health and psychological effects, such as headaches, heart attacks, depression and poor concentration.
So, the biggest reason to take a little time out for yourself is to avoid these negative consequences of not doing so. More than that, “me” time can make you a better person both inside and out. Specifically, taking some “me” time can help you avoid bad mood and enable you to control your emotions. If you live with someone, like a spouse(配偶), children, or even a pet, they may not understand your need to take“me”time but they certainly will appreciate the way your mood has improved. Contrary to this, the lack of time to yourself can cause you to build up anger. 37 .
It might seem easy to schedule a little “me” time, but often it isn't. So you must give yourself permission to take at least a half hour per day, even if it's divided, just for yourself. If you have to, set the alarm, schedule it on the calendar, or put it on your “to-do” list for the day. 38 . It can be as simple as sitting on the deck, reading a book, and watching the sun come up with a hot cup of coffee. In addition to that, setting boundaries is important. Realize that there are limits to what you can do, and build your life around that. Also acknowledge that you need to limit the demands that other people can make on your time.
Taking a little time for yourself refreshes and re-energizes you. 39 . You come to realize that you are important and deserve to have a little time to yourself. If you engage in something you enjoy during your time out, you also have the satisfaction of reading that book, or writing that poem about that. 40 and don't push yourself to complete anything. Simply enjoy the time out.
A. We believe we are wasting time
B. You may need time to make preparations
C. That can harm both you and your relationships
D. Whatever you have to do, make it happen every day
E. But you should try to do something meaningful and valuable
F. It allows you to think more clearly and make better decisions
G. But be careful that you use your “me” time for leisurely activities

Alice sat in the car while palm trees seemed to speed by the car window. Eight-year-old Alice began to get nervous, the way she always did in new surroundings. She felt a thin shine of sweat above her lip in spite of the car's cool air. “The aquarium (水族馆) won't be crowded, I bet, and people are going to notice me. I hate wearing this prosthesis leg (假肢).” She felt tears coming from behind her eyes.“Not being normal is the worst,”she thought to herself.
Entering the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, around a corner of a tank, she noticed an animal that looked unusual. “Is that a dolphin with a a prosthetic tail instead of a real tail ” she asked an aquarium staff member. He nodded and replied, “Yes, that's Betty. She's a very special dolphin.” “What happened to her ” “This girl dolphin was found off the coast of Florida, caught in a crab trap. The ropes from the trap cut off the blood circulation to her tail. So she lost her tail,” Alice caught her breath. “She’s just like me.” “But she struggled to survive. Now she wears a prosthetic tail to help her swim like a dolphin's supposed to swim,” the staff member continued. “Every day, Betty shows us anything is possible if we believe.”
Alice felt her heart was touched. She waved at Betty. Looking at Alice, Betty raised her flippers(鳍), came to her and lifted her head. “She's swimming right into my arms,” Alice said tearfully. They made eye contact. She seemed to be speaking to Alice: We're the same.
Back home, all Alice talked about was Betty. For two weeks, she cried and begged her mother to take her back to Clearwater.
Unfortunately, another blow hit Alice. She fell on the hardwood floor at home and broke her other leg. Alice suffered the pain in her leg. After a through examination, the doctor explained bad news to them that she would need some surgery on her leg. Years of a living hell (地狱) came back to her.

M: Are you a dog person or a cat person What psychological factors make a person choose one type of pet over the other
An outgoing person prefers dogs. This should really come as no surprise. Owning a dog is a social experience, because you always have to walk them and interact with other dog owners. If you really like talking to other people, a dog might be for you. Cats on the other hand tend to stay at home, which means that taking care of a cat requires much less social interaction.
Cat people are smarter. While studies show that dog lovers are more outgoing and lively, cat lovers score higher on intelligence tests, and are said to be more open-minded. They are also more curious about the world, even though they might not leave the house to see it as much!
Do you love a dog or a cat Are you a different kind of pet person like a turtle person or a bird person Does your personality match with some features we talked about earlier I hope my speech will be helpful to you. Thank you for listening!

The Chinese idiom I like best
My favorite Chinese idiom is shu neng sheng qiao, which means if you want to master a skill, you need to train and practise a lot to reach your goal. It equals the English proverb: Practice makes perfect.
The idiom is of great significance to me as it has been inspiring me to achieve great success. I used to get poor marks in math exams. It was my math teacher who told me “Practice makes perfect!” So I did a lot of maths exercises and I am making more and more progress in maths. I always keep the proverb in mind and often put it to use.
Such is my favorite Chinese idiom, a simple but powerful one.
第二节
One possible version:
“How can I persuade Alice to undergo the surgery ” Alice’s mom said to herself. Then she had an idea and she decided to take Alice back to Clearwater. On arriving at Clearwater, Alice couldn't wait to see Betty, the lovely dolphin that comforted her and boosted her mood. As Alice's mother pushed the wheelchair to Betty, she raised her flippers, came to her and lifted her head. Alice couldn't hold back her excitement. Looking at the girl, Betty seemed to say, “Go and have the operation.” Alice absolutely knew what that caring eyes were conveying, so she decided to keep a more optimistic state of mind.
Encouraged by Betty, Alice changed her mind and did what her mother and doctor had told her to. Finally came the day when Alice was in the hospital again. Though feeling nervous and afraid of the pain the surgery might bring, Alice faced it bravely. The operation was a success. Her mother took her to Clearwater the day when she was discharged from hospital. Inspired by Betty's swimming like a normal dolphin, Alice practiced hard to walk. Her confidence has been improved as she gradually recoveres. Alice has no idea what the future holds for her but she will do anything to have a better look at this wonderful world.
