11、 Wednesday, I go to Cantata Adult Life Services, a local retirement community in Brookfield, Illinois, US, with my classmates to do community service.After my very first visit to Cantata, my life changed forever. That may sound a bit dramatic, but volunteering with the elderly has changed my views o
12、n life. Our visits last about an hour, and we bring 25-30 students every time. We play board games and cards with the residents while were there. You can watch all the movies and TV shows you want about “life back then”, but nothing compares to talking to the people who were actually there. Just hea
13、ring their stories has touched me in a way I never thought possible. Whether it was talking to 98-year-old “Hurricane Hilda” about her glory days as a roller skater or chatting with Lou about the times she danced with a famous actor, I was completely attracted by every single memory the residents wa
14、nted to share with me. Even the residents who dont have amazing memories make the experience satisfying . I remember visiting Mrs Robinson. She couldnt recall much about her past, but she told me shed never forget how kind I was just to listen to her “rambling (漫谈)”. It made me realize that its the
15、little things that make life worth living. Thats something I wont forget anytime soon. If theres one thing Ive realized in my three years of visiting Cantata, it s that presence just being there means more than anything to many of the residents. And despite how busy our lives are, theres always time
16、 to make someones day.For me, it feels great to be a source of happiness, a smile on a bad day or a listening ear for old memories. And at the end of the day, thats all that matters. Its easy to feel like you dont have anything in common with the elderly especially when youre a teenager. But thats n
17、ot true at all.I hate to be overly clichd (陈词滥调的) here, but age really is just a number. As young adults, its important for us to realize this sooner rather than later. We can learn a lot from the elderly, and they can often benefit from teenagers too.21. What do the volunteers do according to the p
18、assage?A. They share everything with the residents.B. They play board games and cards with the residents.C. They watch the residents play games.D. They buy gifts for the residents.22. According to the writer, what is the most important thing that volunteers can do for the elderly?A. Playing with the
19、m. B. Benefiting from them.C. Helping them. D. Being there with them.23. What does the writer want to tell us by writing this passage ?A. We dont have anything in common with the elderly. B. Age is just a number.C. It is important to help the elderly. D. Young adults and the elderly can benefit from
20、 each other.BThe new high-speed railway line between Urumqi, capital of the Xinjiang Uygur self-governing region, and Lanzhou, capital of Gansu province, has cut train travel time by half to less than 12 hours.The dramatic improvement will benefit many families planning reunions for Spring Festival.
21、“For the first time, I feel home is not that far away after all,“ said Liang Shaofu as he boarded a high-speed train in Urumqi with six members of his family.The 35-year-old left Lanzhou to set up a dry fruit business in Xinjiang eight years ago, and he has now settled in Urumqi.The 1,776-km line, w
22、hich passes through Qinghai province and is the countrys first high-speed railway to be built in a high-altitude region, came into service on Dec 26.“We normally drive home for Spring Festival to avoid the difficulties of buying seven train tickets for the whole family during the peak season,“ Liang
23、 said. “Driving can be very tiring and dangerous sometimes, so one year we even decided not to go back to Lanzhou simply to avoid the trip.More than 600,000 passengers traveled on the line during its first month, and the Urumqi Railway Bureau said the introduction of high-speed services will ease tr
24、ansport pressure during the Spring Festival peak season.The existing usual railway line could no longer support Xinjiangs development. All passenger trains will gradually shift to the new link, leaving the old one to be used for goods. As a result, Xinjiangs annual goods ability could reach 200 mill
25、ion metric tons from the current 70 million.The line passes through areas that experience high winds, and it also crosses parts of the deserted Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the bone-dry sands of the Gobi Desert.The project could help China to promote its high-speed railway technology abroad, said Ma Xi
26、zhang, director of the Lanzhou-Xinjiang railway projects management department in Xinjiang. 24. How long did it take to go from Urumqi to Lanzhou by the usual train before? A. about 12 hours. B. About 6 hours. C. About 18 hours. D. About 24 hours.25. Whats the main advantage of the new high-speed ra
27、ilway?A. It takes more time to go to Urumqi to Lanzhou.B. It will be more convenient for people all over the country to Xinjiang.C. All the people in Lanzhou can return home on festivals.D. It helps to improve Xinjiangs development. 26. From the passage we can learn _. A. Xinjiangs annual goods abil
28、ity can increase nearly four timesB. the new railway technology may help more railway lines to be built abroadC. the high-speed railway lines cant be built across the bone-dry sandsD. the old railway lines can only carry goods now27. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. The ne
29、w high-speed railway line is good for all people to go home. B. The new high-speed railway line benefits businessmen to carry goods.C. Taking the new train is safer than driving home from Urumqi to Lanzhou.D. Businessmen seldom went home for Spring Festival before.CWhat are American high schools lik
30、e? Well, Im happy to tell you what I know.When I started school here, it had already been a week since the school opened. At this school, freshmen usually go on a trip for about three days at the beginning of school. Unfortunately I missed that wonderful trip, which would have been the best time to
31、get to know my classmates. I was really sad. I wished Id known about it earlier. Despite the disappointment, however, I gradually adapted to my new life and school. There is a space in the basement of the teaching building where students chat and meet each other. As we do not always have the same cl
32、assrooms and classmates, the school wants us to get to know each other there. Students usually come to school early, sit in that space and have fun. Around the space, there are many lockers for students to leave their books in, so that students do not have to carry a heavy schoolbag everywhere. It r
33、eally surprises me that we have almost no textbooks. We only have textbooks for World History and Algebra 2 and they are big and heavy, like bricks. For other classes, we only need binders (活页夹) with paper in them. Without textbooks, students learn things freely and actively. For example, my humanit
34、ies teacher just teaches us what is in her mind at the time. We never know what we will learn. Another difference between American schools and Chinese schools is that American schools care about students morality more than their academic studies. For example, if you do not finish your homework, you
35、will just be asked to do it later, but if you cheat or lie, you will get a warning or even be kicked out. I think that most students here are good at schoolwork as well, but compared to Chinese students, they can make learning a more joyful experience. I think we should take the good points from our
36、 two different kinds of education to perfect our approach to studying.28. What was the writer sad for?A. He was late for school. B. He missed the trip at the beginning of school.C. He didnt know anyone. D. American students looked down upon him.29. Why do students go to the basement of the teaching
37、building?A. To attend class. B. To share a classroom. C. To have fun. D. To meet teachers.30. How do teachers in the US teach the students?A. However they want to. B. They use bricks.C. Some use textbooks; some teach freely. D. They always teach as required. 31. According to the passage, in American
38、 high schools, _.A. you are likely to be kicked out if you cheatB. youll be punished if you do not finish your homeworkC. students are better at school work than Chinese studentsD. students care much about the grades they getDResearchers in the psychology department at the University of California a
39、t Los Angeles (UCLA) have discovered a major difference in the way men and women respond to stress. This difference may explain why men are more likely to suffer from stress related disorders.Until now，psychological research has maintained that both men and women have the same “fight or flight” reac
40、tion to stress. In other words，individuals either react with aggressive behavior，such as verbal or physical conflict (“fight”)，or they react by withdrawing from the stressful situation (“flight”)However，the UCLA research team found that men and women have quite different biological and behavioral re
41、sponses to stress. While men often react to stress in the fight or flight response，women often have another kind of reaction which could be called “tend and befriend.” That is，they often react to stressful conditions by protecting and nurturing their young (“tend”)，and by looking for social contact
42、and support from othersespecially other females (“befriend”)Scientists have long known that in the fight or flight reaction to stress，an important role is played by certain hormones(激素) released by the body. The UCLA research team suggests that the female tend or befriend response is also based on a
43、 hormone. This hormone，called oxytocin，has been studied in the context of childbirth，but now it is being studied for its role in the response of both men and women to stress. The principal investigator，Dr.Shelley ETaylor，explained that “animals and people with high levels of oxytocin are calmer，more
44、 relaxed，more social，and less anxious.” While men also secrete(分泌) oxytocin，its effects are reduced by male hormones.In terms of everyday behavior，the UCLA study found that women are far more likely than men to seek social contact when they are feeling stressed. They may phone relatives or friends，o
45、r ask directions if they are lost.The study also showed how fathers and mothers responded differently when they came home to their family after a stressful day at work. The typical father wanted to be left alone to enjoy some peace and quiet. For a typical mother，coping with a bad day at work meant
46、focusing her attention on her children and their needs.The differences in responding to stress may explain the fact that women have lower frequency of stress related disorders such as high blood pressure or aggressive behavior. The tend and befriend regulatory(调节的) system may protect women against s
47、tress，and this may explain why women on average live longer than men.32. The UCLA study shows that in response to stress，men are more likely than women to _.Aturn to friends for help Bsolve a conflict calmlyCfind an escape from reality Dseek comfort from children33. Which of the following is true ab
48、out oxytocin according to the passage?AMen have the same level of oxytocin as women do.BOxytocin used to be studied in both men and women.CBoth animals and people have high levels of oxytocin.DOxytocin has more of an effect on women than on men.34. What can be learned from the passage?AMale hormones help build up the bodys resistance to stress.BIn a family a mother cares more about children than a father does.CBiological differences lead to different behavioral responses to stress.DThe UCLA study was designed to confirm previous resea
