It was Thanksgiving morning and in the crowded kitchen of my small home I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together.
"Any old papers, lady " asked one of them.
I was busy. I wanted to say "no" until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals（凉鞋）, wet with heavy snow.
"Come in and I'll make you a cup of hot cocoa."
They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served them cocoa and bread with jam to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started cooking.
The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, "Lady, are you rich "
"Am I rich Pity, no!" I looked at my shabby slipcovers（沙发套）. The girl put her cup back in its saucer carefully and said, "Your cups match your saucers（茶碟）.” Her voice was hungry with a need that no amount of food could supply. They left after that, holding their bundles of papers against the wind. They hadn't said "Thank you. " They didn't need to. In a special way they had reminded me that I had already had so much for which I should be grateful.
Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they did match.
I tasted the potatoes and stirred the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a good steady job—these matched, too.
I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy prints of small sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should forget how rich I was.
24. The writer invited the children in because___________.
A. she wanted to donate old papers to them B. she showed great pity and care for them
C. she used to have the same experience D. she wanted to invite them to her Thanksgiving party
25. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage
A. The girl said the writer was rich to make the writer happy.
B. The writer thought she wasn't rich because her supplies were not expensive.
C. If cups and saucers match well, they are a best pair even though they are cheap.
D. After hearing what they said, the writer seemed to understand what a rich life was.
26. The writer kept the muddy marks of little sandals on the floor to
A. prove she was really rich B. show that she was a kind lady
C. tell the readers what being rich is D. remind herself that she was rich enough
27. Which of the following statements would be the best title for the passage
A. Lady, are you rich B. A tale of Thanksgiving Day
C. Don't forget how rich you are D. Do cups and saucers match well
C
Last Saturday, when my grandfather got frustrated at the name of the singer of a song, I grabbed my smartphone and found it within seconds. This astonished my grandfather, who didn't understand how I could find the information so quickly. I laughed and explained, but afterwards, it made me think about how much I depend on technology.
When I reflected on its impact on my education, I saw that technology has been significant in many ways. Now I still remember my grandfather asked me more about how I used it and about university life. He said he thought we had an easier life compared to previous generations. I can understand his point.
Not only are we lucky enough to have the same educational benefits as those of previous generations, but we have so many more. We still have walk-in libraries; however, the only option for studying used to be sitting in these libraries with as many books from your reading list as you could find, yet now a single search online can immediately lead you to a huge range of resources.
Interaction between students and university staff is another area that has changed considerably. We can have face-to-face time with our tutors, and also communicate using our electronic devices. Meanwhile, it has become unacceptable for messages to be unanswered for any length of time. Although this puts an extra stress on the university's academic support team, we students are greatly benefited.
When we compare the student life of the past and the present, we tend to focus on the obvious differences in technology. In fact, students are doing what they've always done: embracing the resources available and adapting them to work more efficiently and to live more enjoyably. The pace of change in technology continuously gathers speed, so we have to value each innovation as it happens.
28. Why does the author mention the story of his grandfather
A. To draw readers' attention to the topic. B. To share an interesting experience.
C. To provide an example for his opinion. D. To arouse readers' concern about a problem.
29. What is the grandfather's attitude towards the role of technology
A. Tolerant. B. Favorable. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
30. What is a new challenge technology brings to the academic support team
A. Using various electronic devices. B. Scheduling daily communication.
C. Providing more flexible reading lists. D. Replying to inquiries from students.
31. What can be concluded from the last paragraph
A. Students should make full use of technology.
B. Students should value the time and enjoy their life.
C. We should take technological differences seriously.
D. We should resist the temptation of up-coming innovation.
D
Anyone can be late some times, but to be the person who is always late—that's an art, a frustrating art. Or, a side effect of your personality traits, scientists have found.
So what is it that causes some people to constantly miss trains, make it to the wedding just after the bride's shown up and regularly annoy their friends And why is it so hard for us to fix it "There are all sorts of punishments for being late, and the paradox is that we are still late even when we know those punishments and consequences exist." said Justin Kruger, a social psychologist at New York University.
One of the commonest reasons why people are frequently late is that they fail to accurately judge how long a task will take. This is something known as the planning fallacy（谬误）. Research has shown that people on average underestimate the time to complete a task by a significant 40 percent.
Another trait is that forever-late-comers are more likely to be multitaskers. A study in 2003 run by Jeff Conte from San Diego State University found that out of 181 subway operators in New York City, those, who preferred doing more than one task at the same time, were more often late for their job. This is because multitasking makes it harder to have the awareness of what you're doing. Conte also discovered there is a personality type that's more likely to be late. While highly strung（紧张不安）, achievement-oriented Type A individuals are more possible to be punctual（守时的）. Type B individuals, however, who are more laid-back（漫不经心）, have a higher chance to be late.
Although knowing all of this doesn't necessarily help fix the problem, scientists are starting to work on strategies that can slowly improve our punctuality. For people who constantly underestimate tasks, breaking down an activity into detailed steps can help people estimate how long something will take more accurately. As for your personality type, unfortunately, there isn't much you can do to change that.
32. What does the underlined word "paradox" mean in paragraph 2
A. Strategy. B. Argument. C. Puzzle. D. Solution.
33. What is a possible feature of forever-late-comers
A. They spend more time on a task.
B. They tackle more than one task at a time.
C. They suffer from concentration difficulties.
D. They have high expectations for achievements.
34. Which advice can be given to people who are always late
A. Learn to accept who you are. B. Change your personality type.
C. Divide a task into smaller ones. D. Keep to the timetable accurately.
35. What is the main idea of the text
A. Time management contributes to success.
B. Late comers should be severely punished.
C. Changing personality helps improve punctuality.
D. One's always being late is linked to personality.

阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项, 选项中有两项为多余选项。
Make the World a Better Place
When you think about people who have made the world a better place, you probably think of famous scientists or great leaders. 36 Ordinary people like you and me can also help a lot. An act of kindness can bring a smile to a person's face even if only for a moment.
Give away your money. Choose a charity that is meaningful for you. For example, if you want to help hungry children, you can try to find an international organization that provides food for those in poor areas. 37
Share your knowledge. If a friend needs skills in a certain area, offer your advice. Perhaps she is struggling to set up a computer, and you know how to do that. Offer whatever ability you have, but always remember to be polite.
Help a stranger. Your small actions can brighten the day of others. Hold the door for someone whose hands are full. 38 Give your seat on the bus to an old man. The key is expecting nothing in return for your acts of kindness.
39 Show the people close to you how much you care about them. Tell them they mean a lot to you. Make a beautiful gift for a friend. Take your husband to his favorite fun place if he has had a hard week. Tell your children how much they mean to you.
Be grateful to others. 40 Thank the waiter. Do you have a very good neighbor who is always there when you need her Tell her how much you appreciate her being in your life.
A. That is not all the truth.
B. Care about those you know.
C. Help the blind cross the street.
D. You should know what love means.
E. Every cent you give away will mean a lot.
F. Have you had good service in a restaurant
G. You should learn to express gratitude to others.

A good teacher in my heart
I feel honored to share with you my ideas on what a good teacher should be like. In my opinion, a good teacher is supposed not just to teach students knowledge. As the old saying goes，“It’s better to teach a man how to fish than to give him fish.” Therefore, a good teacher will also inspire the students how to learn and think.
I can still remember vividly that my English was poor when I was in the first year of senior high school, for which I was so heart-broken. Luckily my English teacher noticed everything and gave me timely help by always encouraging me and showing me effective ways of English learning. Thanks to her help, I gradually made progress.
In short, I am deeply grateful to my English teacher, who is undoubtedly a good teacher in my heart.
