It was not a gold medal, or a world record broken, but a show of pure courage and determination. The event was swimming. I watched a man dive off the blocks and knew right away that something was wrong. Im not an expert swimmer, but I can tell a good dive from a poor one, and this was not exactly medal quality. When he resurfaced, it was evident that the man was not out for gold - his arms were waving in an attempt at freestyle. I heard the crowd begin to laugh at this poor man who was clearly having a hard time. Finally he made his turn to start back. It was pitiful. He made a few desperate strokes (划水) and you could tell he was worn out. But in those few awkward strokes, the crowd changed. No longer were they laughing, but beginning to cheer. Some even began to stand and yell things like, Come on, you can do it! He did. The crowd went wild. Just a short year ago, he had never even swum, let alone race. His country had been invited totake part in the event. Even though he recorded the slowest time, this man gave more heart than any of the other competitors-a man that gave his all, knowing that he had no chance but to compete because of the spirit of the games.24. We know from the passage that the swimmer . A. was not professional B. had two competitors C. had a wrong start D. didnt try his best25. What can be learned from the last two paragraphs? A. The swimmer lost his spirit B. The swimmer didnt finish his match. C. The audience was touched deeply by the swimmer.D. The crowd supported the swimmer from the beginning.26. The authors attitude towards the swimmer is that of . A. tolerance B. disappointment C. carelessness D. admiration 27. Which one is the best title of the story? A. Successful Swimmers B. Go for it C. What an Event D. Awkward StrokesC It could happen just about any time you step out in public. You get onto an almost-empty bus, but the next passenger in decides to ignore dozens of empty seats to sit right next to you. While youre waiting in line at a supermarket, the next customer insists on standing only two inches behind you and shouting into his cell-phone. You go into a public restroom, and the next person to enter decides to use the next stall. Transgressions(冒犯) like these dont just make us feel uncomfortable; we often feel anxious, alarmed; and violated(被侵犯的 ). it is the attack of the personal-space invaders. In any society, shared definitions of personal space govern how we interact with other people. People living in densely(密集地) populated cities like Mumbai, Beijing, or Mexico City tend to require less personal space than people living in sparsely(稀少地) populated places within the country. In America, New Yorkers often have smaller requirements than residents of western states, like Montana, Shenandoah and Wyoming. Because everyone has different standards, gestures that are innocent in one place can be interpreted as opposite in another, especially in Britain. As the British etiquette(礼仪) website Debrett puts it, as a British person, somebody standing too close may make you focus less on what somebody is saying than on how close they are to you .Simple acts like putting an arm around someone you dont know may seem friendly in China, but they can make us very uncomfortable. People from many European countries such as France and Spain kiss each other on the cheek when they meet, yet to British person, this seems too friendly and touch-freely. The website explains! The British are not backslappers(拍人后背的人) and generally do not show affection in public. . Are British people unfriendly? Far from it. The website adds that they are not as stand-offish and aloof as they may seem, but very friendly and helpful to foreigners. However, remember not to be too close. If you are going to come closer than an arms length, please let them know.28. According to the passage, if you were meeting a British for the first time, it would be polite of you to . A. kiss him/her on the cheek B. keep an arms length away from him/her C. put an arm around him/her D. slap his/her back29. According to the passage, who tend to require more personal space? A. People living in Beijing and people living in Mexico City B. People living in Mumbai and people living in Shenandoah C. People living in Wyoming and people living in New York D. People living in Wyoming and people living in Montana30. The underlined word stand-offish and aloof in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to A. cold and indifferent B. modest and cool C. gentlemanly and kind-hearted D. independent and strong-willed31. What can we conclude from the article? A. British people like to sit next to other people on empty buses. B. British people usually kiss strangers on the cheek to greet them. C. British people are helpful though they may not appear to be D. British people are delighted to show affection in public.D Suppose you have three things: a piece of wood, a nail and a hammer. Pretend the wood is aperson, and the nail is a mean rumor(语言) about that person. If you hammer the nail in, youreobviously hurting him or her. If you then pull out the nail, theres still a hole in the wood, and thedamage has been done. There are many reasons why that nail of a rumor can be so harmful. Rumors are, quite simply, a form of bullying(欺侮). When a person or a group makes up a rumor about someone or decides to spread gossip, its usually to hurt someone, break up a friendship, or make someone less popular. Its the same thing as teasing, only its done behind someones back instead of to his or her face. When you spread a rumor about someone, youre sending a signal that the person is outside the group, and somehow less worthy of friendship than others. Youre making fun of that person orpointing out negative things about him or her. This can let others think that its OK to make theperson feel bad, and make him or her an outsider. We need to be able to trust our friends, but gossip and rumors can break this l:rust. If you tell a personal secret to a friend, and he turns around and tells it to someone else, you might feel like you will get burned if you ever get close to him again. Letting a rumor influence your behavior is like letting someone else make a big decision for you. Lets say you hear that a teacher plans to call a Snowy Day tomorrow because a blizzard（暴风雪） is coming. Expecting a day off, you dont do your homework as usual. The next morning, the blizzard turns out to be nothing more than a drizzle(毛毛雨), and school isnt off atter all. You get zeroes on your work.32. If a rumor is spread about someone, others may . A. keep away from him or her B. point out his or her advantages C. not feel he or she is an outsider D. be hurt if getting close to him or her again33. To tell the rumor and the teasing apart, you depend on A. whether it is painful or not B. whether it is done behind someone C. whether it is a kind of bullying D. whether it is spread fast .34. From the last paragraph, we can infer that . A. it is hard to keep rumors a secret B. rumors can destroy your interest in learningC. rumors can control your whole life D. believing rumors can lead to bad choices35. The purpose of this passage is to . A. advise on how to deal with rumors B. teach us how to judge a rumor C. explain why rumors hurt D. find out why rumors spread fast第二节（共5小题，每题2分，共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。 Why do many people take vacations frequently?
