21、   For those who make journeys across the world,the speed of travel today has turned the countries into a series of villages.Distances between them appear no greater to a modern traveler than those which once faced men as they walked from village to village.Jet planes fly people from one end of the earth to the other,allowing them a freedom of movement undreamt of a hundred years ago.

Yet some people wonder if the revolution in travel has gone too far.A price has been paid,they say,for the conquest(征服)of time and distance.Travel is something to be enjoyed,not endured(忍受).The boat offers leisure and time enough to appreciate the ever­changing sights and sounds of a journey.A journey by train also has a special charm about it.Lakes and forests and wild,open plains sweeping past your carriage window create a grand view in which time and distance mean nothing.On board a plane,however,there is just the blank blue of the sky filling the narrow windows of the airplane.The soft lighting,in­flight films and gentle music make up the only world you know,and the hours progress slowly.

Then there is the time spent being‘processed’at a modern airport.People are conveyed like robots along walkways;baggage is weighed,tickets produced,examined and produced yet again before the passengers move to another waiting area.Journeys by rail and sea take longer,yes,but the hours devoted to being‘processed’at departure and arrival in airports are luckily absent.No wonder,then,that the modern high­speed trains are winning back passengers from the airlines.

Man,however,is now a world traveler and cannot turn his back on the airplane.The working lives of too many people depend upon it;whole new industries have been built around its design and operation.The holiday maker,too,with the limited time to spend,patiently endures the busy airports and the limited space of the flight to gain those extra hours and even days,relaxing in the sun.Speed controls people's lives;time saved,in work or play,is the important thing—or so we are told.Perhaps those first horsemen,riding free across the wild,open plains,were enjoying a better world than the one we know today.They could travel at will,and the clock was not their master.

【1】What does the writer try to express in Para 1?

A.Travel by plane has sped up the growth of villages.

B.The speed of modern travel has made distances relatively short

C.The freedom of movement has helped people realize their dreams

D.Man has been fond of traveling rather than staying in one place

【2】How does the writer support the underlined statement in Paragraph 2?

A.By giving instructions. B.By analyzing cause and effect.

C.By following the order of time. D.By giving examples.

【3】According to Paragraph 3,passengers are turning back to modern high­speed trains because________.

A.they pay less for the tickets B.they feel safer during the travel

C.they can enjoy higher speed of travel D.they don’t have to waste time being‘processed’

【4】What does the last sentence of the passage mean?

A.They could enjoy free and relaxing travel.

B.They needed the clock to tell the time.

C.They preferred traveling on horseback.

D.They could travel with their master.

【5】What is the main idea of the passage?

A.Air travel benefits people and industries.

B.Train travel has some advantages over air travel.

C.Great changes have taken place in modern travel.

D.The high speed of air travel is gained at a cost.

22、What leads to success in school? 【1】 “Perseverance” for example, seems to be a better predictor of success than IQ in school and beyond. Researchers have also demonstrated that having a “growth mindset” is associated with academic success which happens when a person recognizes that abilities are not fixed but developed through practice.

Researchers are exploring other characters that might contribute to success. 【2】 Data was collected on happiness and grades from 435 students at St Andrew’s including elementary, middle and upper school students.

【3】 Specifically, researchers found a statistically significant correlation(正相关) between happiness and students’ grades from elementary schools through high schools. Students often reported that happiness, or positive feelings like enjoyment or fun, supported their schoolwork. 【4】 It has been found that a network of supportive relationships is at the heart of happiness. Results showed that the quality of students, relationships with teachers and peers predicted their happiness. Across all ages, students with positive relationships were more likely to be happy.

Although voiced in different ways and time and again students of all ages emphasized that their relationships are fundamental to their happiness. These results suggest that there is an important relationship between happiness and academic achievement. More research is needed to explore the relationships among happiness social networks, and achievement in a school setting. 【5】

A．But what supports students to be happy?

B．But are happier kids sure to get ahead academically?

C．Recent research suggests success is partly driven by the character.

D．In recent studies, they explored the relationship between happiness and marks.

E．Psychology research showed a link between happiness and success in the workplace,

F．The results revealed students who are reported to be happier had higher grades.

G．By coincidence, the findings of this study are consistent with earlier ones in psychology.

24、Eddie McKay, a once-forgotten pilot, is a subject of great interest to a group of history students in Canada.

It all started when Graham Broad, a professor at the University of Western Ontario, found McKay’s name in a footnote in a book about university history. McKay was included in a list of university alumni (校友) who had served during the First World War, but his name was unfamiliar to Broad, a specialist in military history. Out of curiosity, Broad spent hours at the local archives(档案馆) in a fruitless search for information on McKay. Tired and discouraged, he finally gave up. On his way out, Broad’s glance happened to fall on an exhibiting case showing some old newspapers. His eye was drawn to an old picture of a young man in a rugby uniform. As he read the words beside the picture, he experienced a thrilling realization. “After looking for him all day, there he was, staring up at me out of the exhibiting case,” said Broad. Excited by the find, Broad asked his students to continue his search. They combed old newspapers and other materials for clues. Gradually, a picture came into view.

Captain Alfred Edwin McKay joined the British Royal Flying Corps in 1916. He downed ten enemy planes, outlived his entire squadron (中队)as a WWI flyer, spent some time as a flying instructor in England, then returned to the front, where he was eventually shot down over Belgium and killed in December 1917. But there’s more to his story. “For a brief time in 1916 he was probably the most famous pilot in the world,” says Broad. “He was credited with downing Oswald Boelcke, the most famous German pilot at the time.” Yet, in a letter home, McKay refused to take credit, saying that Boelcke had actually crashed into another German plane.

McKay’s war records were destroyed during a World War II air bombing on London—an explanation for why he was all but forgotten.

But now, thanks to the efforts of Broad and his students, a marker in McKay’s memory was placed on the university grounds in November 2007. “I found my eyes filling with tears as I read the word ‘deceased’ (阵亡) next to his name,” said Corey Everrett, a student who found a picture of Mckay in his uniform. “This was such a simple example of the fact that he had been a student just like us, but instead of finishing his time at Western, he chose to fight and die for his country.”

【1】What made Professor Broad continue his search for more information on McKay?

A．A uniform of McKay.

B．A footnote about McKay.

C．A book on McKay.

D．A picture of McKay.

【2】What did the students find out about McKay?

B．He lived longer than other pilots.

C．He died in the Second World War.

D．He was downed by the pilot Boelcke.

【3】McKay’s flying documents were destroyed in .

A．Belgium

B．Germany

C．Canada

D．England

【4】We can learn from the last paragraph that McKay .

A．preferred fight to his study

B．went to war before graduation

C．left a picture for Corey Everrett

D．set an example for his fellow students

【5】What is the text mainly about?

25、Music is something I could never live without. Without music, I was shy, _________and the type of person that would only talk when asked to. _________allowed me to express myself.

There was nothing that could keep me away from my passion (热情), until high school.

The audition went like this, introduction, song of choice and range check—“ding”—the director played a note on the piano which I had to match. I felt that I had done a(an) _________job. Weeks passed and the list of who had made it into show choir was _________.

“Have you seen the list? I got in!” one of my friends said.

“No,” I replied looking on the web page for the _________.

“Alice H.—alternate (替补).”

An alternate? Was my audition that _________? After I saw this, my confidence _________. I had no passion for the show choir. I was torn from something that I thought made me different from others.

I said no the first time, no the second time, finally I got enough __________to go up. It took me back to the moment I was auditioning for choir.
