He handed the girl to her father, David Anderson, who had dived in after him.‎ ‎“I didn’t think at all,” Duret told the Daily News. “It happened very fast. I reacted very fast.”‎ Duret, an engineer on vacation, was walking with his girlfriend along the pier (码头) when he saw something falling into the water. He thought it was a doll, but realized it was a child when he approached the river. Immediately, he took off his coat and jumped into the water.‎ When he reached the girl, she appeared lifeless, he said. Fortunately, when she was out of the water, she opened her eyes.‎ Anderson said his daughter slipped off the bank when he was adjusting his camera. An ambulance came later for her, said Duret, who was handed dry clothes from onlookers. Duret caught a taxi with his girlfriend shortly after.‎ The rescue happened on the day before he left for France. Duret said he didn’t realize his story of heroism had greatly moved New York until he was leaving the city the next morning.‎ ‎“I don’t really think I’m a hero,” said Duret. “Anyone would do the same thing.”‎ ‎24. Why was Duret in New York?‎ A. To meet his girlfriend. B. To spend his holiday.‎ C. To work as an engineer. D. To visit the Andersons.‎ ‎25. What did Duret do shortly after the ambulance came?‎ A. He was interviewed by a newspaper.‎ B. He disappeared from the spot quickly.‎ C. He went to the hospital in the ambulance.‎ D. He asked his girlfriend for his dry clothes.‎ ‎26. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?‎ A. Duret thought twice before he jumped into the cold water.‎ B. Duret didn’t think he was brave enough to be a hero.‎ C. The rescue happened on the day Duret left for France.‎ D. Duret dived into the water before the girl’s father.‎ ‎27. What is probably the headline of this news report?‎ A Careless Father B. Brave Frenchman Found C. Warm-hearted Onlookers D. A Poor Girl C The African elephant, the largest land animal remaining on earth, is of great importance to African ecosystem (生态系统). Unlike other animals, the African elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment. As a big plant-eater, it largely shapes the forest-and- savanna (大草原) surroundings in which it lives, therefore setting the terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat (栖息地).‎ It is the elephant’s great desire for food that makes it a disturber of the environment and an important builder of its habitat. In its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it must have every day, it kills small trees and underbushes, and pulls branches off big trees. This results in numerous open spaces in both deep tropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas. In these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attract a variety of other plant-eaters.‎ Take the rain forests for example. In their natural state, the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor. By pulling down trees and eating plants, elephants make open spaces, allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor. In such situations, the forests become suitable for large hoofed plant-eaters to move around and for small plant-eaters to get their food as well.‎ What worries scientists now is that the African elephant has become an endangered species. If the elephant disappears, scientists say, many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of forest and savanna, greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem.‎ ‎28. What is the passage mainly about?‎ A. The effect of African elephants’ search for food.‎ B. Forests and savannas as habitats for African elephants.‎ C. Disappearance of African elephants. ‎ D. The eating habit of African elephants.‎ ‎29. What does the underlined phrase “setting the terms” most probably mean?‎ A. Fixing the time. B. Worsening the state.‎ C. Improving the quality. D. Deciding the conditions.‎ ‎30. What do we know about the open spaces in the passage?‎ A. They result from the destruction of rain forests.‎ B. They provide food mainly for African elephants.‎ C. They are attractive to plant-eating animals of D. They are home to many endangered animals. different kinds.‎ ‎31. The passage is developed mainly by .‎ A. showing the effect and then explaining the causes B. pointing out similarities and differences C. describing the changes in space order D. giving examples D Why do people lie? Many psychologists agree that lying can start from childhood. There are various reasons why children make false statements. They usually tell untruthful stories to cover up the mistakes that they have done in the past. Lying is also a way to avoid receiving punishments from parents. If parents fail to reprimand their children for making up false stories, then there is a possibility that they will continue to lie during their teenage years.‎ Teenagers lie because they want to be accepted by their friends. This is the main reason why they create stories that are not true just to become presentable and acceptable to other people. In some instances, teenagers tell untruthful statements to avoid criticisms from their families and friends.‎ As teenagers grow, lying becomes one of their habits. Their knowledge on making up untruthful stories becomes more developed. People lie in workplaces if they fail to meet the deadlines and if they fail to accomplish and do their tasks efficiently. Some of the common lies made in workplaces are getting sick and having emergencies at home. The danger involved in frequent lying is when it becomes a character. Frequent lying causes the development of the condition known to doctors as pathological (病态的) lying.‎ Pathological lying is a mental health condition, which is associated with individuals who have the urge to tell untruthful statements. Patients suffering from it make up stories about everything and anything. These individuals pretend to meet the standards of other people who they want to please. These patients cheat other people because it gives them an unexplained pleasure.‎ ‎ One of the best ways of treating pathological liars is to help them tell true statements and stories at all times. This may be hard for them, but as they are accustomed to it, they will start to realize that they will be more accepted by their families and other people if they stop themselves from making up false stories.‎ ‎32. The underlined word “reprimand” in Paragraph 1 means “________”.‎ A. criticize B. satisfy C. discourage D. praise ‎33. Teenagers tell lies mainly because they want to ________.‎ A. avoid being punished B. fool other people C. satisfy others D. attract others’ attention ‎34. What are patients suffering pathological lying most likely to do?‎ A. They really want to play jokes on others.‎ B. They often suffer from some other diseases.‎ C. They usually want to show off themselves by making some statements.‎ D. They always like making up pleasing stories.‎ ‎35. How does the writer explain pathological lying?‎ A. By showing some typical examples.‎ B. By predicting the future consequences.‎ C. By analyzing its causes and development.‎ D. By listing a group of phenomena.‎ 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。‎ Every day, in hundreds of ordinary situations, actions speak far louder than words. We talk with our mouth, but we communicate with our facial expressions, our tone of voice and our whole body.‎ ‎ 36 When we can read what others are saying without being aware, we can deal with things—at work and at home before they become problems.‎ By understanding how to use body language, you can communicate more effectively. Here is how:‎ ‎ ▲ 37 Throughout the day, notice details about the way you speak, gesture and move. ‎ When standing, keep your shoulders straight, your body open and your weight balanced on both feet.‎ ‎▲Work on your handshake. 38 The handshake most likely to show confidence is firm and dry, with strong but not too much pressure.‎ ‎▲Use eye contact. Eye contact is very important in forming an impression of someone. You should have the ability to keep direct eye contact if you want to be taken seriously. But some people feel uncomfortable when it is too strong. 39 ‎ ‎▲Be yourself. Nonverbal messages come from deep inside you, from your own sense of self-respect. If you are comfortable with yourself, it shows. 40 They always give others a deep impression.‎ A. Pay attention to your body-talk.‎ B. People who know who they are have a relaxed way of talking and moving.‎ C. A mirror can be useful to examine facial expressions.‎ D. Understanding body language is one of the most useful skills you can develop.‎ E. Use hand gestures carefully.‎ F.

Four streets lead to the Plaza which have white sidewalks and are tree-lined. Hernandes Street, which was named after a famous writer born in the city, contains all of the food stores, fish markets and vegetable stands. Fernando Street, which was named after an educator, is where all of the government offices are housed. Via del Mar Street, whose roads are made of stones, is the only street which still has its old surface. Finally we come to the Horatio Street, on which there are two universities. One of them is the most famous university in my country. That’s why it is my favorite street of all.‎ 第二节到此结束。‎
