Many young Chinese people drink coffee when meeting with friends.Yang Lin lives in the US but comes from an area in China famous for growing tea.She used to only drink tea while in China.But now,she says,she drinks both coffee and tea for different reasons.
“I would say… I was a tea drinker when I was in China.But you know,with the influence of different drinks… I think I like coffee as well as tea now.”
Yang Lin says that drinking coffee for her is a social event.She and her workmates like to sit in a café and talk over a cup of coffee.
Tea,she says,is more about family memories.She grew up in Fujian Province—an area known for its tea.YangLin says that as a child,her family would get together in the evening and talk about the day's events over a pot of tea.So now,even the smell of Fujian tea brings back these warm family memories.
Voyo is another Chinese woman who now lives in Washington,D.C.She says that after moving to the US her tastes have changed.We would call her a coffee convert,someone who now chooses to drink coffee.
“I used to be a tea drinker before I came to the United States.But now I am a coffee drinker and actually getting to be a very heavy coffee drinker.Like I go from one cup a day to three cups a day and if I stop one day I will have a headache,” said Voyo.
(   )31.According to the passage,which of the following is probably grown in Yang Lin's hometown
A.Coffee. B.Tea. C.Both coffee and tea. D.Neither coffee nor tea.
(   )32.From the passage,we can know that the smell of Fujian tea ______.
A.brings Yang Lin back to her family B.reminds Yang Lin of her family memories
C.is often sent to Yang Lin D.improves the memory of Yang Lin
(   )33.It can be learned from the passage that ______.
A.drinking coffee is healthier than drinking tea B.a cup of coffee a day keeps a doctor away
C.the people in the US like to drink coffee better than drink tea
D.tea is the healthiest drink in the world
B
Most people follow others blindly just because they feel it safe to follow a large number of people.In some rare cases it might be right to follow the crowd,but in most cases this can be a big mistake.Actually there are reasons why we shouldn't follow the crowd blindly.
According to a study,people often follow the crowd when they aren't sure about the direction they should take.This means a large number of people could be following others without understanding what's right and what's wrong!This makes more people follow and as a result most people move in a certain direction even if it isn't right.
A man who wants to be successful always hopes for others' guidance and he usually follows the same path of most people,but the question this man never asks himself is: Are all of those people successful?Of course not!If you want to follow a crowd,then follow a successful one.However,in real life you'll only find one successful person among hundreds of people,and that's why following the crowd makes no sense at all.
Most people act emotionally(感情用事地)without thinking wisely.If you always follow others because they're greater than you in number,then sooner or later you'll discover that you're taking emotional decisions and you might regret later.
However,should we never follow the crowd?No.I'm not trying to say you should never follow the crowd,but instead,I'm just asking you to think wisely before you make a decision.If you find others are right,there is no problem in following them,but if you have doubts about the direction they're moving in,don't follow them blindly.
(   )34.According to the passage,most people like to follow others because ______.
A.they feel it kind of safe B.they don't want to be different
C.they believe they take the right direction D.they want to make good impressions on people
(   )35.Which of the following is TRUE according to the writer's opinions
A.It is wrong to follow other people. B.It takes much time to think wisely.
C.You shouldn't be sorry for what you have done.D.You should use your brain before following others.
(   )36.What is the passage mainly about
A.Results of following others. B.Reasons for not following others blindly.
C.Advantages of making wise decisions. D.Ways of finding successful people to follow.
(   )37.Which of the following best shows the structure of the text
(P=Paragraph)
A. B.
C. D.
C
During my elementary(基础的)school years,I used to compare my mom with my best friend Tiffany's mom.
Tiffany's mom always gave her lots of money to buy the most fashionable clothes and favorite food.Her mom allowed her to do anything she liked.I really admired Tiffany.My mom didn't give me much pocket money and she always told me that I should behave myself.I was angry with her.
Whenever I didn't get what I wanted,I would complain to my mom,“Tiffany's mom will give her that!I wish she were my mom.” Every time,my mom would calmly say “Poor Tiffany”.I couldn't understand her.“She shouldn't be feeling sorry for Tiffany!” I thought.“She should be feeling sorry for me.”
One day,I couldn't help saying to Mom,“Poor Tiffany?Lucky Tiffany!She gets everything she wants!Why do you feel sorry for her?” I burst into tears.
My mom sat down next to me and said softly,“Yes,I do feel sorry for her.I have been teaching you a lesson that she will never be taught.”
I looked up at her.“What are you talking about?”
Mom said with care,“One day she will really want something.Maybe she'll find out that she can't have it.Her mother won't always be around to give her money,and what's more,money can't buy everything.”
She continued,“I have taught you useful lessons by not giving you everything you want.You'll know how to be yourself and save money,but she won't.You'll understand that you need to work hard to get the things that you want but she won't.When Tiffany is a grown woman,she'll wake up one day and she will be wishing that she had a mom like the one you've got.Life lessons are more important than modern clothes and delicious food.”
It took some time,but I finally understood my mom's words.Now I am a happy and successful woman.
(   )38.During the writer's elementary school years,she ______.
A.wished that her mom were as good as Tiffany's
B.went to school with Tiffany every day
C.usually compared her lessons withTiffany's
D.sometimes gave lots of money toTiffany

A.she felt sorry that Tiffany was poor B.she wanted to tell a lie to comfort the writer
C.she thought Tiffany's mother gave her too much
D.she told the writer this and wanted her to help Tiffany
(   )40.What do we learn about the writer's mother

B.She cared for other people's children more than her own.
C.She thought that life lessons were as important as money.
D.She was so poor that she couldn't give the writer much money.
(   )41.What can we infer from the passage

C.Tiffany's mother took the writer's mother's advice. D.The writer is thankful to her mother now.
D
We all know the strange feeling of watching the time change on a clock.You never see it change because the hands move so slowly.But of course,the time is changing all the time.
Human faces,like clock faces,are also changing.And like clocks,the changes take place too slowly to be noticed.Over many thousands of years,though,huge changes are possible.For example,the human brain tripled(增至三倍)in size and began to think more.Our faces became flatter.
If our heads became larger in the past,how will things change in the future?Unlike the changes of a clock face,the changes in human faces are very difficult to predict(预测).One of the main reasons for this is the way in which we can now control parts of nature.Hundreds of thousands of years ago,all changes were natural,but now we can actively choose paths for our own evolution(进化).
A US artist named Nickolay Lamm has recently offered an idea.It is what human faces may one day look like.The designs,inspired by his conversations with scientist Alan,show humans with larger heads and eyes,especially the forehead may be larger because of increased usage of the brain.
Just a few hundred years ago,most humans were working in the fields,whereas nowadays more and more people receive education.These are just predictions,and no one can be sure how human beings will become in the future.But with such huge changes in our environments,it seems likely that we will look very different in the future.
(   )42.The changes of human are hardly noticed because ______.
A.human faces never change B.the size of our brain becomes small
C.the changes take place too slowly D.we never think about the changes
(   )43.The third paragraph tells us that______.
A.human faces can't be controlled by us B.human faces used to change by nature
C.it's easy to predict the changes in human faces
D.human can't change the size of our brain in the future
(   )44.The underlined word “whereas” in the last paragraph has the similar meaning to “______”.
A.Finally B.anyway
C.However D.actually
(   )45.From the last two paragraphs,we can learn that ______.
A.the predictions will surely be truth
B.people in the past liked to be educated
C.humans must have larger heads in the future
D.humans will not look the same as today
四、任务型阅读(本题有5 小题,每小题1分;共计5分)

50.__ _
You couldn't achieve your dream through hard work for some time.You used to be sad and to think you couldn't do anything,right?Don't be like that.Believe that if you hold on to your dream and if you work really hard,it might happen in the future even though you failed this time.

“I would say… I was a tea drinker when I was in China.But you know,with the influence of different drinks… I think I like coffee as well as tea now.”
Yang Lin says that drinking coffee for her is a social event.She and her workmates like to sit in a café and talk over a cup of coffee.
Tea,she says,is more about family memories.She grew up in Fujian Province—an area known for its tea.YangLin says that as a child,her family would get together in the evening and talk about the day's events over a pot of tea.So now,even the smell of Fujian tea brings back these warm family memories.
Voyo is another Chinese woman who now lives in Washington,D.C.She says that after moving to the US her tastes have changed.We would call her a coffee convert,someone who now chooses to drink coffee.
“I used to be a tea drinker before I came to the United States.But now I am a coffee drinker and actually getting to be a very heavy coffee drinker.Like I go from one cup a day to three cups a day and if I stop one day I will have a headache,” said Voyo.

Most people follow others blindly just because they feel it safe to follow a large number of people.In some rare cases it might be right to follow the crowd,but in most cases this can be a big mistake.Actually there are reasons why we shouldn't follow the crowd blindly.
According to a study,people often follow the crowd when they aren't sure about the direction they should take.This means a large number of people could be following others without understanding what's right and what's wrong!This makes more people follow and as a result most people move in a certain direction even if it isn't right.
A man who wants to be successful always hopes for others' guidance and he usually follows the same path of most people,but the question this man never asks himself is: Are all of those people successful?Of course not!If you want to follow a crowd,then follow a successful one.However,in real life you'll only find one successful person among hundreds of people,and that's why following the crowd makes no sense at all.
Most people act emotionally(感情用事地)without thinking wisely.If you always follow others because they're greater than you in number,then sooner or later you'll discover that you're taking emotional decisions and you might regret later.
However,should we never follow the crowd?No.I'm not trying to say you should never follow the crowd,but instead,I'm just asking you to think wisely before you make a decision.If you find others are right,there is no problem in following them,but if you have doubts about the direction they're moving in,don't follow them blindly.
( A )34.According to the passage,most people like to follow others because ______.
A.they feel it kind of safe B.they don't want to be different
C.they believe they take the right direction D.they want to make good impressions on people
( D )35.Which of the following is TRUE according to the writer's opinions
A.It is wrong to follow other people. B.It takes much time to think wisely.

( B )36.What is the passage mainly about
A.Results of following others. B.Reasons for not following others blindly.
C.Advantages of making wise decisions. D.Ways of finding successful people to follow.
( B )37.Which of the following best shows the structure of the text
(P=Paragraph)

During my elementary(基础的)school years,I used to compare my mom with my best friend Tiffany's mom.
Tiffany's mom always gave her lots of money to buy the most fashionable clothes and favorite food.Her mom allowed her to do anything she liked.I really admired Tiffany.My mom didn't give me much pocket money and she always told me that I should behave myself.I was angry with her.
Whenever I didn't get what I wanted,I would complain to my mom,“Tiffany's mom will give her that!I wish she were my mom.” Every time,my mom would calmly say “Poor Tiffany”.I couldn't understand her.“She shouldn't be feeling sorry for Tiffany!” I thought.“She should be feeling sorry for me.”
One day,I couldn't help saying to Mom,“Poor Tiffany?Lucky Tiffany!She gets everything she wants!Why do you feel sorry for her?” I burst into tears.
My mom sat down next to me and said softly,“Yes,I do feel sorry for her.I have been teaching you a lesson that she will never be taught.”
I looked up at her.“What are you talking about?”
Mom said with care,“One day she will really want something.Maybe she'll find out that she can't have it.Her mother won't always be around to give her money,and what's more,money can't buy everything.”
She continued,“I have taught you useful lessons by not giving you everything you want.You'll know how to be yourself and save money,but she won't.You'll understand that you need to work hard to get the things that you want but she won't.When Tiffany is a grown woman,she'll wake up one day and she will be wishing that she had a mom like the one you've got.Life lessons are more important than modern clothes and delicious food.”
It took some time,but I finally understood my mom's words.Now I am a happy and successful woman.

We all know the strange feeling of watching the time change on a clock.You never see it change because the hands move so slowly.But of course,the time is changing all the time.
Human faces,like clock faces,are also changing.And like clocks,the changes take place too slowly to be noticed.Over many thousands of years,though,huge changes are possible.For example,the human brain tripled(增至三倍)in size and began to think more.Our faces became flatter.
If our heads became larger in the past,how will things change in the future?Unlike the changes of a clock face,the changes in human faces are very difficult to predict(预测).One of the main reasons for this is the way in which we can now control parts of nature.Hundreds of thousands of years ago,all changes were natural,but now we can actively choose paths for our own evolution(进化).
A US artist named Nickolay Lamm has recently offered an idea.It is what human faces may one day look like.The designs,inspired by his conversations with scientist Alan,show humans with larger heads and eyes,especially the forehead may be larger because of increased usage of the brain.
Just a few hundred years ago,most humans were working in the fields,whereas nowadays more and more people receive education.These are just predictions,and no one can be sure how human beings will become in the future.But with such huge changes in our environments,it seems likely that we will look very different in the future.
( C )42.The changes of human are hardly noticed because ______.
A.human faces never change B.the size of our brain becomes small
C.the changes take place too slowly D.we never think about the changes
( B )43.The third paragraph tells us that______.
A.human faces can't be controlled by us B.human faces used to change by nature
C.it's easy to predict the changes in human faces
D.human can't change the size of our brain in the future
( C )44.The underlined word “whereas” in the last paragraph has the similar meaning to “______”.
A.Finally B.anyway
C.However D.actually
( D )45.From the last two paragraphs,we can learn that ______.
A.the predictions will surely be truth
B.people in the past liked to be educated
C.humans must have larger heads in the future
D.humans will not look the same as today
