I let my older brother do most of the work around the house until he left for college. I let my Mom and Dad worry about our bills and problems while I read books, played, and lost myself in my own imagination. This didn’t change even when I went to college either. I studied hard but only to make my own life better. Even when I started to explore my faith and spirituality, it was only to increase my own happiness.‎ I married after graduation and decided to start a family. Of course, I had no idea what hard knocks reality had in store for my selfish soul. Soon I found myself unemployed, deeply in debt, and with a new baby on the way. I found out that life has little sympathy for spoiled people. In fact, all of the struggles I was going through were beating the selfishness slowly out of me.‎ Still, I didn’t give up on happiness. I knew that there must be a way to find it. I finally realized, however, that it had to include more than just my own needs, wants, and desires. The answer began to make itself clear one night shortly after my baby boy was born. I got a bottle and held him in my arms. As I was feeding him I looked down and saw his big, innocent, trusting eyes. I smiled and talked to him. Then he smiled and I could feel my heart growing, expanding with love. I felt such peace and joy. At that moment I had a hint of the truth: it is by growing our hearts with love that we find our happiness.‎ Carolyn Arends wrote: "The more people you let into your heart, the bigger your heart gets. The more love you get, the more love you have to give. It just keeps growing." So, keep loving, keep living and keep caring. Keep growing your heart today, tomorrow, and always.‎ ‎24.What do we know about the author from the first paragraph?‎ A.He often helped his brother with housework. ‎ B. He studied hard for his family.‎ C.He put his own needs above others. ‎ D. He was concerned about his family.‎ ‎25. What did the author realize after he suffered in life?‎ A. Spoiled people can’t survive the hardship of life. ‎ B. Life is cruel to spoiled people.‎ C. Spoiled people are never happy in life. ‎ D. Selfishness is helpful.‎ ‎26. What can be inferred from the passage?‎ A. The author loved kids. ‎ B. The author often fed his baby.‎ C. The author realized the importance of happiness.‎ D. When caring for his baby, the author got inspired.‎ ‎27. Which can be the best title of the passage?‎ A. Loving Others , a Way to Happiness ‎ B. The Elder One Grows, the More He Gets.‎ C. Help Others , Help Oneself ‎ D. Keep Growing to Live a Happy Life C Persuasion(劝说) is the art of convincing someone to agree with you. According to the ancient Greeks，there are three basic tools of persuasion：ethos，pathos，and logos.        Ethos is a speaker's way of convincing the audience that she is trustworthy，honest and reliable. One common way a speaker can develop ethos is by explaining how much experience or education she has in the field. After all，you’re more likely to listen to advice about how to take care of your teeth from a dentist than a fireman. A speaker can also create ethos by convincing the audience that she is a good person. If an audience cannot trust you，you will not be able to persuade them.  ‎ Pathos is a speaker’s way of connecting with an audience’s emotions. For example，a politician who is trying to convince an audience to vote for him might say that he alone can save the country from a terrible war. These words are intended to fill the audience with fear，thus making them support him. Similarly，an animal charity might show an audience pictures of injured dogs and cats，to make the viewers feel pity. If the audience feels bad for the animals，they will be more likely to donate money.  ‎ Logos is the use of facts，statistics，or other evidence to support your argument. An audience will be more likely to believe you if you have convincing data to back up your claims. Presenting this evidence is much more persuasive than simply saying "believe me".  ‎ Although ethos，pathos，and logos all have their strengths，they are often most effective when used together. Indeed，most speakers use a combination of ethos，pathos，and logos to persuade their audiences. So，the next time you listen to a speech，watch a commercial，or listen to a friend try to ‎ convince you to lend him some money，be on the lookout for these ancient Greek tools of persuasion. ‎ ‎28. Why does the author say persuasion is an art?‎ ‎ A. They both entertain the audience. B. They both require great skills to achieve. C. They both demand full attention from the audience. D. They were both common topics of ancient Greek writers. ‎ ‎29. How is a speaker able to show her ethos to the audience?‎ ‎ A. By expressing her sympathy with the audience. B. By telling the audience about her personal preference. C. By using beautiful language to make her statements attractive. D. By showing her knowledge and experience relating to the topic. ‎ ‎30. What can we learn about the three aspects of persuasion?‎ ‎ A. Ethos is the most important aspect of persuasion. B. Each aspect has a different effect on the audience. C. Honesty is the key to making your arguments believable. D. Political leaders mostly use pathos to persuade their audience. ‎ ‎31. An advertisement for washing powder which claims that “scientific tests show that our powder kills 95% of all bacteria” is mainly using ______ . ‎ ‎ A. ethos         B. pathos         C. logos   D. a combination of all three D A new technology is going to ripe, one that could transform our daily lives, help to form new industries, even remove world economic powers from their present positions. Unlike the wave of industrialization that began in the West and spread later to the rest of the world, the new developments are taking place in research labs all over the globe—and Asians are in the forefront. Physicists are creating a new class of materials that display an amazing property unforeseen even two years ago—superconductivity (超导体技术).‎ Used today only in specialized equipment, super conductors have the potential to radically change most of the electrical and electronic appliances found in the home, making them smaller, more powerful and efficient. They could free our cities of pollution by replacing petrol and diesel (柴油) vehicles with electric cars, and cut the cost of electricity. The new materials do something that even the best of conductors such as copper and silver cannot—they do away with all electrical resistance. The significances for energy storage are great.‎ The technology is in its early stage, still accessible to countries that decide to invest brains and money. For 75 years it had remained little more than a scientific curiosity with limited practical use because the phenomenon occurred only at extremely low temperatures. It was first observed in 1911 by a Dutch scientist named Heike Kamerlingh Onnes, who cooled mercury (水银) to temperatures ‎ below ‎-269℃‎ with liquid helium (氦). Then in January last year, two IBM scientists, K. Alex Muller and J. George Bednorz, found a metal oxide ceramic (氧化陶瓷) that superconducted at ‎-243℃‎. Their report went largely unnoticed until last December, when it was confirmed at a scientific meeting in Boston. Today Japan, India, China and other Asian countries all have their share of experts who spend their days and nights in labs, acting as midwives (助产士) to a new technology.‎ ‎32. As is indicated in the passage, the technology of superconductivity _______.‎ A. has already been developed B. is still under development C. will be used only in specialized equipment D. will be used in daily lives in a few years ‎33. The new technology differs from the others in that _________.‎ A. it began in the East and spread later to the rest of the world B. it began in the West and spread later to the rest of the world C. it is being cultivated in research labs around the world D. it is accessible to physicists who are intelligent and rich ‎34. From the passage, we may conclude that __________.‎ A. Asian scientists gain the lead in the growth of the new technology B. Dutch scientists kept reporting new findings for the last 75 years C. IBM scientists' report receive immediate attention all over the world D. the West was astonished at the new technology developed by the Asians ‎35. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?‎ A. The Prospect of a New Technology B. Superconductivity: A New Technology C. A New Technology: The Key to Change the Way of Our Lives D. A New Technology: A Joint Effort of Many Countries 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ ‎ Entrepreneurship (创业) is a long game with joys and hardships.
