You have given me a perfect body and let me control the whole woods.” Hearing this, the God smiled. “But your purpose for coming here should not only be this. It seems that you are embarrassed by something.”Then, the lion made a short roar. “Yes, my Lord! As a matter of fact, I do need your help. Although Im strong, I have been frightened by the cry of the cock every morning. My lord, please make the cock not cry every morning!” Instead of answering the lions request, God said, “You can turn to the elephant; and he will give you a satisfying explanation.”The lion ran to the elephant with joy. But he found the elephant was stamping(跺脚) with anger when he got there. “What makes you so angry?” “An annoying mosquito has been trying to get into my ear. It almost makes me mad.”The lion left the elephant and understood the meaning of the God.Everybody will meet embarrassment in his or her life, no matter how strong or powerful he or she is. Most of the time, others cannot help us. It is unnecessary and useless to blame the unfairness of the world. There are positive aspects at any occasion. Embarrassment can become opportunity if you try to face and enjoy it. It is also opportunity for you to strengthen yourself.24.

How do you understand the underlined part “the meaning of the God” in Paragraph 4?A. Learn to tolerate whatever other may do to you.B. Treat others the same way you are treated by others.C. Believe in whoever will help you when you are in need of helpD. When meeting embarrassment in life, you cannot always get help from others.26. The authors purpose of writing the passage is most likely to _.A. entertain B. inform C. persuade D. describe27. If poor in English, what would you do after reading this passage?A. accept the fact that English is difficult to learnB. cheer yourself on and learn English harderC. give up learning English and let it beD. spend the energy and time spent on English on excellent Maths CIn the US, many people prefer sports and sports are not just for fun. Theyre almost a “religion”. Thousands of sports fans buy expensive tickets to watch their favorite teams and athletes play in person. Other fans watch the games at home, sticking to their TV sets, never missing a game. Many a wife becomes a “sports widow”during her husbands favorite season. Americans devotion to sports has created a new class of wealthy people: professional athletes. Sports stars often receive million dollar salaries. Some even make big money by appearing in advertisements for soft drinks, shoes and almost everything.Sports are an important part of American culture. Throughout their school life, Americans learn to play many sports. Many students try out for the school teams. Athletic events at universities attract scores of fans and benefit the whole community. Many people also enjoy noncompetitive activities, like hiking, cycling, horseback riding, camping or hunting.Many sports were imported from other countries. Europeans brought tennis, golf, bowling and boxing to America. Football and baseball came from other Old World games. Only basketball has a truly American origin. Americans export sports fever as well. Satellites broadcast games to sports fans around the globe. NBA is a good example. The names of American superstars like basketball great Michael Jordan have become household words allover the world.28. Many a wife becomes a“sports widow”in the US probably because .A. they are serious in religionB. their husbands stick to sportsC. they are devoted to sportsD. their husbands are missing29. Which of the following is NOT true according to Para. 2?A. The US sports stars can earn a large sum of money via the media.B. American people like to exchange different sports from each other.C. Lots of American people take part in noncompetitive activities.D. American students go in for various sports and athletic events.30. We can infer from the passage that .A. most Americans like competitionB. all the Americans are sports fansC. sports culture influences the worldD. America has invented many sports31. The writer mainly intends to tell us that .A. how important sports are in AmericaB. where sports can help to make moneyC. why sports are so popular in AmericaD. what affect Americans everyday life DThe sharing economy, represented by companies like Airbnb or Uber, is the latest fashion craze. But many supporters have overlooked the reality that this new business model is largely based on escaping regulations and breaking the law.Airbnb is an internet-based service that allows people to rent out spare rooms to strangers for short stays. Uber is an internet taxi service that allows thousands of people to answer ride requests with their own cars. There are hundreds of other such services.The good thing about the sharing economy is that it promotes the use of underused resources. Millions of people have houses or apartments with empty rooms, and Airbnb allows them to profit from these rooms while allowing guests a place to stay at prices that are often far less than those charged by hotels. Uber offers prices that are competitive with standard taxi prices and their drivers are often much quicker and more trustworthy.But the downside of the sharing economy has gotten much less attention. Most cities and states both tax and regulate hotels, and the tourists who stay in hotels are usually an important source of tax income. But many of Airhnbs customers are not paying the taxes required under the law.Airbnb can also raise issues of safety for its customers and trouble for hosts neighbors. Hotels are regularly inspected（检查） to ensure that they are not fire traps and that they dont form other risks for visitors. Airbnb hosts face no such inspections.Since Airbnb is allowing people to escape taxes and regulations, the company is simply promoting thefts. Others in the economy will lose by bearing an additional tax burden or being forced to live next to an apartment unit with a never-ending series of noisy visitors.The same story may apply with Uber. Uber is currently in disputes over whether its cars meet the safety and insurance requirements imposed on standard taxis. Also, if Uber and related services flood the market, they could harm all taxi drivers ability to earn a minimum wage.This downside of the sharing needs to be taken seriously, but that doesnt mean the current tax and regulatory structure is perfect.32. What is the positive thing about the sharing economy?A. It makes use of spare resources.B. It is beyond regulations.C. It is a global trend.D. It brings in modest profits.33. What is the problem with Airbnb customers according to the passage?A. They are not regularly inspected.B. They may disturb hosts neighbours.C. They are not allowed to escape taxes.D. They are likely to commit thefts.34. What is the argument over Uber according to the passage?A. Whether it lowers customers expenses.B. Whether it provides reliable services.C. Whether it guarantees customers safety.D. Whether it can compete with standard taxis.35. What will be talked about in the following paragraphs?A. Existing regulations and laws.B. Necessary improvements of current laws.C. Further development of Airbnb and Uber.D. More downsides of Airbnb and Uber.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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。Eat your vegetables. Wash your hands. Always say please and thank you. We are full of advice for our children. 36 . As a result, our children may grow up with clean hands and good manners, but without any idea how to manage their money. Here are some basics that will help guide them their entire lives: Show them the future. If your 13-year-old girl were to save $1.000, invest it at 8% and add $100 every month, by the time shes 65, she would have $980,983! Be careful of credit. Credit cards can help you buy necessary things and build a credit history, but they must be used responsibly, 37 . Explain to your children that when you buy something using a credit card, you can easily end up paying two or three times what you would have paid ifyou used cash. 38 Suppose your child wants a new bicycle that cost$150.
