11、2, when he was standing in a parking lot talking to friends, Tracy March jumped to the top of a car, as he had done a hundred times before. This time, though, Tracy lost his balance. His head struck the ground, hard. All night, Cory, Tracys mother, stood next to her son, who was lying in a - 4 -hosp
12、ital bed, his brown eyes fixed in a lifeless stare. She remembered that Tracy had once mentioned organ donation. Maybe I can spare another family this pain, she thought. When the time came, she and her husband Bill signed the forms permitting his organs to be donated. Tracy was declared dead the nex
13、t day. Twenty-four hours later, in a Boston hospital, Tracys liver was made part of my husband, David, who was suffering from a hopeless liver disease. Months later, we learned from the local organ bank that the donors parents wished desperately to meet someone who had gained life through the gift f
14、rom their son. A meeting was arranged by the organ bank to bring together two families linked by the most bittersweet ties imaginable. The meeting was risky, but worth it. We talked for 3 hours. They showed us a picture of Tracy. We learned how he had lived and died. We learned something about Bill
15、and Cory too.For the Marches, seeing David and knowing he was well seemed to ease their suffering. Ill never forget seeing Davids tall figure stopped over Cory, her arms around his waist, as a mother would hug a son. For a long time they held each other tight. It was hard to know if she was saying h
16、ello or good-bye. Maybe she was saying both. 21. We learn from the passage that Tracy died _.A. of brain damage B. on December 8, 1992C. 24 hours after he fell off the roof of a car D. in a car crash22. Tracys parents decided to donate Tracys organs because _. A. Tracy told them to do so just before
17、 he diedB. they wanted to save others the pain of seeing dear one dieC. Davids life could continue in a meaningful wayD. they knew David was suffering from a hopeless liver disease23. The meeting between the two families helped to relieve the Marches suffering because _.A. they saw that David looked
18、 very much like their son- 5 -B. they now knew for sure they had done the right thingC. they now had someone to share their memories of TracyD. they saw that David had regained health with Tracys liverBMilitary training has long been considered a ritual(仪式) that freshmen must go through in order to
19、officially start their college lives. While some question the necessity of such training. Many students see military training as a campus tradition that should be maintained. Early in February, the Ministry of Education issued a new regulation that colleges and universities should carry out a minimu
20、m of 14 days compulsory military training for freshmen.In a report by Beijing Evening News, Hou Zhengfang, a Beijing-based education PhD, questioned the benefits of military training. “The training routine does little to improve students physical fitness over only two weeks time. Maybe some disaster
21、 prevention training, such as earthquake survival or escaping from fires would be of greater benefit.”Meng Yang, a 19-year-old freshman at Guangxi University, fainted during training. She said that many students, especially girls, are unwilling to train under direct sunshine. “For me, military train
22、ing is physically challenging and even damages my health.”According to Li Jian from the student affairs office of Guangzhou University, feeling dizzy happens frequently during military training and the school has received a lot of complaints from both students and parents: “But I still think militar
23、y training is a good thing. Students are easier to manage after the military training. They became more positive about their new environment after the training.”Although autumn is fast approaching Beijing, the noon heat burns 3300 freshmen on Tsinghua Universitys campus. Chu Jinjing, a freshman majo
24、ring in medicine, did feel some discomfort while training in sweaty clothes in the glaring heat. The 18-year-old still enjoyed being part of group going through - 6 -strict exercises. “By going through this tough training, students bond faster and a sense of belonging to the school can be formed. Iv
25、e made a lot of friends already.”According to the Ministry of Education, the purpose of military training is to teach students discipline, the spirit of teamwork and endurance. But in reality, according to Xiong Bingqi, deputy director of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, the effect is
26、not satisfying. “Such goals require long-term development. It is unrealistic to expect military training to make a difference in only 14 days.” He thus suggests that it should be up to schools to conduct military training in a way that best suits their students.However, Wang Wenhui, an 18-year-old f
27、reshman from Xian Jiaotong University, sees military training as a tradition that reaches beyond character building. “From junior and senior high school to college, we join military training to start a new journey. I would feel a bit incomplete without it.”24. How many people expressing their opinio
28、ns are mentioned in this passage?A. 4 B. 5 C. 6 D. 725. According to Hou Zhengfang, it seems much more beneficial to give freshmen_.A. survival skills B. military training C. the spirit of teamwork and endurance D. strict exercises26. What is the authors attitude towards military training? A. Suppor
29、tive B. Subjective C. Objective D. Opposed 27. What is the best title for the passage? A. A Policy Made by the Ministry of Education B. Military Training under Fire C. A New Journey D. A Best Way to Teach Students DisciplineCWhat is a lifestyle and how is that different from a life? A lifestyle is -
30、 7 -about brand names and buying identity or fame. Lifestyle gives a false sense of peace and acceptability that comes from others recognizing what youve bought into (as well as bought). If your car, clothes, and home are expensive, youre sophisticated(世故的) and stylish. If you have the right kind of
31、 job or go to the right social gatherings, then you receive the insincere approval of others. This means that your self-esteem(自尊) is always at the mercy of others, with no appreciation of you as an individual.A life, on the other hand, is very different. A life is what you lead when you know what m
32、atters most to you. It is very simple and comes from being connected to what you know is important and being willing to put that first, no matter what others may think. When you create a life vs. a lifestyle, your self-esteem comes from whats inside you, not what others think about you.Lifestyle is
33、expensive financially and personally, because it costs a great deal to keep up appearances and do what you think is socially acceptable. A life is not expensive. Rather than using personal or financial resources, a life generates energy and staying power. Its about liberating yourself from the mindl
34、ess consumption that society expects. It is about making the choices that are in line with your values, instead of using up your bank account or energy for no heart-driven reason.How can you make the change? Understand the difference between a life and a lifestyle. Analyze your current lifestyle to
35、see what is costing you in money, time, stress, and energy to maintain it. Let go and make room for what is really important to you, what supports you and brings you joy. Remember who you are from within, not what you own!28. Which of the following examples best explains “what is life about”? A. We
36、work long hours in a job that we do not enjoy.B. We focus on what we wear, or what kind of car we drive.C. We find out what our true beliefs and values are and choose to live by these.D.

37、uthor use to explain his opinion in the third paragraph?A. Making comparison. B. Giving an example.C. Giving a definition. D. Giving a reason.30. To make the change, we need to_.A. be directed from within B. be directed from outsideC. be driven by social values D. be driven by others opinions31. Wha
38、t is the authors purpose of writing this passage?A. To describe what life is. B. To introduce what lifestyle is.C. To promote life instead of lifestyle. D. To tell the differences between life and lifestyle.DAccording to a recent survey on money and relationships, 36% of people are keeping a bank ac
39、count from their partner. While this financial unfaithfulness may appear as distrust in a relationship, in truth it may just be a form of financial protection. With almost half of all marriages ending in divorce, men and women are realizing they need to be financially savvy, regardless of whether th
40、ey are in a relationship.The financial hardship on individuals after a divorce can be extremely difficult, even more so when children are involved. The lack of permanency in relationships, jobs and family life may be the cause of a growing trend to keep a secret bank account hidden from a partner, i
41、n other words, an “escape fund”.Margarets story is far from unique. She is a representative of a growing number of women in long-term relationships who are becoming protective of their own earnings. Every month on pay day, she banks hundreds of dollars into a savings account she keeps from her husba
42、nd. She has been doing this throughout their six-year marriage and has built a nest egg worth an incredible $100,000. Margaret says if her husband found about her secret savings hed be hurt and - 9 -would take this as a sign that she wasnt sure of the marriage. “Hed think it was my escape fund so th
43、at financially I could afford to get out of the relationship if it went wrong. I know you should approach marriage as being forever and I hope ours is, but you can never be sure.”Like many of her fellow secret savers, Margaret was hurt in a former relationship and has since been very guarded about h
44、er own money.Coming clean to your partner about being a secret saver may not be all that bad. Take Colleen for example, who had been saving secretly for a few years before she confessed (坦白) to her partner. “I decided to open a savings account and start building a nest egg of my own. I wanted to pro
45、ve to myself that I could put money in the bank and leave it there for a rainy day.”32. The underlined word “savvy” probably means _.A. doubtful B. proud C. wise D. simple33.

48、That means the skill of good decision-making counts a lot. If you would like to improve your skill of - 10 -decision making, here are four suggestions for you.Dont expect to have it all.Decisions force us to close the door on other possibilities. 37 And there will be paths not taken, careers not cho
49、sen, to name a few. You can imagine some “what if” situations if you must, but do not let them take up too much space in your brain.38 Its often good to think through your decisions. But dont overdo it. Research can reach a point where returns begin to reduce, which makes it confusing more than clarifying. Many good decisio
