Mom wanted only one thing for her birthday. “Can you find me another copy of this song?” she asked, and handed me a worn-out cassette tape. I knew exactly what was recorded on it: My Redeemer. I heard the song played at least a thousand times while growing up. After so many years, the cassette tape was too worn out to be used. I promised her I would find a replacement. My Redeemer became Mom’s favorite song after my younger brother Tim was killed by a drunk driver in 1973. The only thing that helped her calm down was the soulful sound of My Redeemer from the local radio station.
We recorded it on a cassette tape so she could listen to it any time she wanted but none of us knew who the soloist (独唱者) was. These days, I thought the song would be easy to find out. I went home and searched the Internet. Several songs with that title popped up, but none of them was the one Mom loved. I got frustrated.
Mom’s birthday drew near and then one day, I was driving home, listening to our local radio station. A familiar tune came on. It was My Redeemer! As soon as I could, I phoned the station. I got a line on the soloist, who was called Alan Parks. I typed his name into Google and found his home number in South Carolina. Minutes later, I was telling him how much his recording meant to Mom. He offered to ship two CDs out to me personally. I gave him my address.
“Red Lion, Pennsylvania?” he said. “Do you know the Logans?” “They are our neighbors!” “I’ve been friends with them for 25 years,” Alan said. “They’ll be at my concert at York Gospel Chapel on April 17th. Would you and your mom come too?” We sure would. Mom was excited to hear Alan sing My Redeemer to her, live in concert— on the evening of her 87th birthday.
24. Why was the song My Redeemer so important to the author’ mother?
A. It could relieve her sad and painful mood.
B. It reminded her of the love from her husband.
C. It was given to her by a very important friend.
D. It was the only thing that the author’s brother left her.
25. What does the underlined part “got a line on” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. talked happily with B. thought a lot about
C. made a request of D. got information about
26. What can we learn about Alan Parks from this passage?
A. He lived in Red Lion, Pennsylvania.
B. He turned out a kind and warm-hearted musician.
C. He offered to give the author two cassette tapes.
D. He would sing for the author’s mom on the radio station.
27. Which of the following is most surprising?
A. Alan Parks and the author lived in the same neighborhood.
B. Alan Parks happened to get to know the author’s mother.
C. The author’s mother went to the concert on her birthday.
D. The author’s mother became good friends with Alan Parks.

Most commuters in Munich, Germany, spend hours stuck in traffic or trying to squeeze into one of the overcrowded subway trains, every morning. But for 40-year-old Benjamin David, commuting is actually a relaxing experience. Every day, he jumps into the Isar River and swims two kilometers to his workplace in Kulturstrand.
Benjamin David used to be one of the thousands of Münchners trying to make their way to work on busy roads and cycling paths, but two years ago he decided that he needed to find a simpler alternative and the Isar River seemed like the obvious answer. It flows right past his apartment in Baldeplatz. But instead of paddling on a raft, Benjamin decided to swim to work instead.
Every morning, Benjamin leaves his apartment in Baldeplatz, crosses the street and jumps into the Isar River. He has to swim two kilometers to his office in Kulturstrand, which usually
takes him about half an hour. Once there, he dries himself with a towel, puts on a T-shirt and waits for his colleagues to get through the heavy traffic, by enjoying a cappuccino at a cafe.
The swimming commuter found the perfect way to keep his things dry while he is in the water—a special bag that is not only waterproof, but also fills up with air when you roll it shut. It’s called a “Wickelfisch” and it was designed by a start-up in Basel, Switzerland, where swimming to work has actually become a big trend. It holds Benjamin’s laptop, paperwork and clothes dry, and allows him to simply float down the river if his arms get tired.
Depending on the season and temperature of the water, Benjamin will put on a simple pair of shorts or a wet suit, but he always wears rubber sandals (凉鞋) to protect his feet. People throw all kinds of things in the river, from glass bottles to bicycles, and the sandals really help him.
Right now, Benjamin David is the only person in Munich who uses the Isar River for his work commute, but with traffic becoming worse, he expects some of his fellow Miinchners will be joining him for a daily swim soon.
28. Why does Benjamin David decide to swim to work?
A. Because he doesn’t know how to paddle on a raft.
B. Because he wants to relax himself by commuting.
C. Because he wants to change a way to avoid busy streets.
D. Because he loves swimming.
29. Which of the following about Benjamin David is the CORRECT order?
①to jump into the Isar river
②to put on a T-shirt
③ to cross the street
④ to leave his apartment
⑤ to swim two kilometers to his office
⑥ to enjoy a coffee
A. ④①③⑤②⑥ B.②①⑤④③⑥
C. ⑥①⑤②④③ D.④③①⑤②⑥
30. Benjamin David always wears rubber sandals in order to .
A. keep warm B. provide protection
C. avoid being wet D. swim faster
31. Which of the following can best describe Benjamin David?
A. Creative, careful and brave. B. Cautious, lonely and stubborn.
C. Strong, healthy and kind. D. Lovely, friendly and humorous.
D
Feeding knowledge directly into your brain, just like in sci-fi classic The Matrix, could soon take as much effort as falling asleep, scientists believe. Researchers claim to have developed a simulator (模拟装置) which can feed information directly into a person’s brain and teach them new skills in a shorter amount of time, comparing it to “life imitating art”.
Researchers from HRL Laboratories, based in California, say they have found a way to improve learning, only on a much smaller scale than seen in the Hollywood film. They studied the electric signals in the brain of a trained pilot and then fed the data into novice subjects as they learned to pilot an aeroplane in a realistic flight simulator.
The study, published in the journal Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, found that subjects who received brain stimulation via electrode-embedded head caps improved their piloting abilities and learnt the task 33 percent better than a placebo group (对照组).
“Our system is one of the first of its kind. It’s a brain stimulation system,” explained Dr. Matthew Phillips. “It sounds kind of sci-fi, but there’s large scientific basis for the development of our system. The specific task we were looking at was piloting an aircraft, which requires a synergy (协同作用) of both cognitive and motor performance. When you learn something, your brain physically changes. Connections are made and strengthened in a process called neuro-plasticity. It turns out that certain functions of the brain, like speech and memory, are located in very specific regions of the brain, about the size of your finger.”
Dr. Matthew believes that brain stimulation could eventually be used for tasks like learning to drive, exam preparation and language learning. “What our system does is that it actually targets those changes to specific regions of the brain as you learn,” he added. “The method itself is actually quite old. In fact, the ancient Egyptians 4,000 years ago used electric fish to stimulate and reduce pain. Even Ben Franklin applied currents to his head, but the rigorous, scientific investigation of these methods started in the early 2,000s and we’re building on that research to target and personalize a stimulation in the most effective way possible. What we found is that
brain stimulation seems to be particularly effective at actually improving learning.”
32. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A. Brain-stimulation for better learning
B. The best way to become a good pilot
C. The sci-fi classic The Matrix’s great influence
D. Different regions of the human brain
33. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. The stimulation system is based on scientific experiments and analysis.
B. The idea of the stimulation system comes from The Matrix.
C. It’s impossible to figure out the specific region for speech and memory.
D. Compared with ordinary people, pilots learn all tasks better.
34. Dr. Matthew probably agrees with the point that .
A. the research method itself is very new
B. brain stimulation seems to be particularly effective at creation
C. the method in the research is not original
D. the method in the research can date back to 2,000 years ago
35. In which column are you likely to read the passage in the newspaper?
A. Life. B. Science. C. Medicine. D. Entertainment.

What does travel consist of? Answers can be as varied as worrying about your budget, trying new dishes at meals, climbing mountains and riding on crowded local buses, etc. But to Mishana Khot, a US fanatic, a travel is “more than just a stamp in your passport—it’s a stamp in your soul”. On the travel website Vagabondish.com, Khot listed some ways that you will change after taking a trip. Now please take a look.
▲ Travel shows the big picture.
Khot believes we may lose ourselves in our lives from time to time. “Sometimes we can’t separate our daily existence from the broader perspective,” she argues. “ 36 It forces you to
see your life from the outside.”
▲ 37
When you are on the way, chances are that you will deal with flight delays, slow buses, food, horrible accommodation and much more. As Khot pointed out, if there is one constant in a traveller’s life, it is that travel will throw up situations that challenge you. You may have made the most detailed plan, but the next minute something just goes wrong. 38
▲Travel makes you more grateful.
Whether you travel from a big city to a quiet countryside, or vice versa, there will come a moment when you are grateful for all you have. “When you meet someone with one leg who is hiking up a hill, 39 ,” she said.
▲Travel helps you overcome your shyness.
During travel, you’ll be forced to communicate with many more people than you’re used to. 40 So, just throw away your shyness. That won’t guide you to your destination. Go and communicate with people. They’re an important part of the experience.
A. Travel makes you more adaptable.
B. Travel needs to be planned very carefully.
C. you will close your eyes for a second and say “thank you”
D. You may meet something pleasant when you travel.
E. Travel provides a chance to get away from your routine.
F. And sometimes you won’t even be able to use your first language.
G. You’ll go through anger and disappointment, but hopefully, you’ll learn to laugh at it and move on.

My neighbor Mrs. Gargan first told me about it.
“Have you seen the tree?” She asked as I was sitting in the backyard enjoying the autumn twilight (暮色). “The one down at the corner,” she 41 . “It’s a beautiful tree—all kinds of colors. All the passers-by stop to have a look. 42 , you ought to see it.”

But I had almost 55 it. Once when Emily Dickenson’s father noticed a brilliant display of northern lights in the sky, he tolled (敲) a church bell to 56 all the town’s people. That’s what I 57 doing about the tree. I wanted to become a Paul Revere (once riding a horse to tell others big news) of autumn, telling everyone about its 58 .
I didn’t have a church bell or a horse, but as I walked home, I did asked each neighbor the same simple 59 Mrs. Gargan had asked me: “Have you seen the 60 ?”

Dear Sam,
It’s heard that you $ re planning a cultural trip to Xi’an. I am writing to offer you a travel plan for your reference.
It’s better for you to take a flight rather than a train to Xi’an, which takes only 2 hours. Actually there is no guarantee that a train ticket is available at all. Then, setting off as early as possible, you will find it less crowded than during the Spring Festival. To tell the truth, 4 to 5 days is enough for this trip. The tourist spots well worth visiting are the Terracotta Warriors, the Great Wild Goose Pagoda and Mount Hua. By the way, at least 3,000 yuan should be budgeted, accommodation included.
Follow this plan, and you will be able to arrange everything more easily. I do hope you can have great fun there!
Yours,
Li Hua
