20、 store.As I was getting my wheelchair off the back, a man watched me from his car and I noticed a wheelchair in his back seat.We spoke for a moment - 4 -and I asked him about the wheelchair. He answered that it was for his daughter.“Well, do you think she would like to go for a ride on my motorbike
21、with me?” I asked. He seemed shocked that a total stranger would ask him this.He thought about it for a second and said, “OK, as long as I can follow you.” He introduced me to Amy and he sat her on my back seat.Her father followed me for a few miles and she talked non-stop about what she wanted for
22、Christmas. As we came back to the convenience store, she said, “This ride is the best Christmas present I could ever receive.I have been in a wheelchair my whole life and didnt know I could do this.” I told her about some of the other things I do (ski, travel the world by myself, etc.).As her father
23、 was taking her off my bike, she turned to him and said, “Oh Daddy, Im going to be OK.Mr.Bryant does all kinds of things, and I will too.” Her father turned away as a tear of joy rolled down his cheek. He hugged me and said, “I was sitting here praying for a gift for Amy that would encourage her.She
24、 often felt that her life was dull compared to other children.God answered my prayer just now.Now I pray that God will bless you for your gift to Amy today.” I believed what he said.Being kind and thoughtful to others, we can be an answer to prayer.24.How did the father feel at first when the author
25、 invited his daughter for a ride?A.He was happy because his daughter could gain excitement.B.He was moved because the author offered to help his daughter.C.He felt surprised because he didnt know the author. D.He felt nervous because he was worried about his daughters safety.25.According to the pass
26、age, the girl _.A.used to be a completely healthy personB.was inspired by the authors experiencesC.was satisfied with her lifeD.was unwilling to communicate with a stranger26What was the authors gift to Amy according to the girls father?A. The motorbike B. The wheelchair C. The blessing D.The ride27
27、.What can we infer from the passage?A. The author usually drove too fast B. The author worked in a convenience storeC. The author often offered strangers a ride on his motorbikeD. The author was a man with disabilityCPublic transport is declining in the rich world. To those who have to squeeze onto
28、the number 25 bus in London, or the A train in New York, the change might not be noticeable. But public transport is becoming less busy in those places, and passenger numbers are flat or falling in almost every American city. That is despite healthy growth in urban populations and employment.Althoug
29、h transport agencies blame their unpopularity on things like - 5 -roadworks and broken signals, it seems more likely that they are being outcompeted. App-based taxi services like Uber and Lyft are more comfortable and convenient than trains or buses. Cycling is nicer than it was, and rental bikes ar
30、e more widely available. Cars are cheap to buy, thanks to cut-rate loans, and ever cheaper to run. Online shopping, home working and office-sharing mean more people can avoid travelling altogether.The competition is only likely to grow. More than one laboratory is developing new transport technologi
31、es and applications. Silicon Valley invented Uber and, more recently, apps that let people rent electric scooters(滑板车) and then abandon them on the pavement. China created sharing-bicycles and battery-powered “e-bikes“, both of which are spreading.Transport agencies should accept the upstarts, and c
32、opy them. Cities tend either to ignore app-based services or to try to push them off the streets. That is understandable, given the rules-are-for-losers attitude of firms like Uber. But it is an error.It is doubtful that most people make hard distinctions between public and private transport. They j
33、ust want to get somewhere, and there is a cost in time, money and comfort. An ideal system would let them move across a city for a single payment, transferring from trains to taxis to bicycles as needed. Building a platform to allow that is hard, and requires much sweet-talking of traditional networ
34、ks as well as technology firms. It is probably the secret to keeping cities moving.28. What is the change in public transport in big cities?A. It is becoming busier. B. It is getting less popular.C. There are fewer traffic delays. D.There is more new transport.29. In the authors opinion, the reason
35、for the decline of public transport is that _.A. there are roadworks and broken signalsB. people are becoming healthier and employedC. cars and bikes are more and more availableD. transport agencies are seemingly less competitive30. How does the author develop his idea in Paragraph 3?A. By giving ex
36、amples B. By providing research resultsC. By stating arguments D. By comparing different approaches31. According to the text, the key to keeping cities moving is _.A. to develop an ideal system that satisfies everyoneB. to build a platform that appeals to transport agenciesC. to provide people with
37、more means of transportationD. to cater for both traditional networks and technology firmsDWhy do some people live to be older than others? You know the standard explanations: keeping a moderate diet, engaging in regular exercise, etc. But what effect does your personality have on your longevity（长寿）
38、? Do some kinds - 6 -of personalities lead to longer lives? A new study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society looked at this question by examining the personality characteristics of 246 children of people who had lived to be at least 100.The study shows that those living the longest are
39、more outgoing, more active and less neurotic (神经质的 ) than other people. Long-living women are also more likely to be sympathetic and cooperative than women with a normal life span. These findings are in agreement with what you would expect from the evolutionary theory: those who like to make friends
40、 and help others can gather enough resources to make it through tough times. Interestingly, however, other characteristics that you might consider advantageous had no impact on whether study participants were likely to live longer. Those who were more self-disciplined, for instance, were no more lik
41、ely to live to be very old. Also, being open to new ideas had no relationship to long life, which might explain all those bad-tempered old people who are fixed in their ways. Whether you can successfully change your personality as an adult is the subject of a longstanding psychological debate. But t
42、he new paper suggests that if you want long life, you should strive to be as outgoing as possible.Unfortunately, another recent study shows that your mothers personality may also help determine your longevity. That study looked at nearly 28,000 Norwegian mothers and found that those moms who were mo
43、re anxious, depressed and angry were more likely to feed their kids unhealthy diets. Patterns of childhood eating can be hard to break when were adults, which may mean that kids of depressed moms end up dying younger. Personality isnt destiny, and everyone knows that individuals can learn to change.
44、 But both studies show that long life isnt just a matter of your physical health but of your mental health.32. The aim of the study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society is_.A. to investigate the role of exercise in living a long lifeB .to find out if ones lifestyle has any effect on the
45、ir healthC. to see whether peoples personality affects their life span D. to examine all the factors contributing to longevity33. What does the author imply about outgoing and sympathetic people?A. They are more likely to get over hardship. B. They are better at negotiating an agreement.C. They gene
46、rally appear more resourceful.D. They have a good understanding of evolution.34. What finding of the study might prove somewhat out of our expectation？A. Personality characteristics that prove advantageous actually vary with times.B. Easy-going people can also live a relatively long life.C. Readines
47、s to accept new ideas helps one enjoy longevity.D. Such personality characteristics as self-discipline have no effect on - 7 -longevity.35.What can we learn from the findings of the two new studies?A. Anxiety and depression more often than not cut short ones life span.B. Health is in large part rela
48、ted to ones lifestyle.C. Personality plays a decisive role in how healthy one is.D. Longevity results from a combination of mental and physical health.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。A volunteering vacation can be a meaningful way to spend your time off, but to make the
