Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?Jane Addams(1860-1935)Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank.

As their father, I often say things that are unpopular. If they hate me once in a while, I know Im doing a good job.There are three other words that I wont allow in my house, however. Last week, I was watching my older son play with a paper airplane. After he accidentally threw it into a wall and it came apart, his eyes were filled with tears.“I hate myself,” he said. It wasnt the first time hed said it, and I was concerned that hed started to actually believe it. I knelt down next to him and made him look into my eyes. I told him that I never wanted to hear those words again, and that he needed to respect himself.The difference between your kid telling you they hate you and they saying they hate themselves is that, five minutes later, theyve already forgotten they “hate you”. Self-hate is much more potentially poisonous and for young people, it can linger into the rest of their life.Kids who start to believe they hate themselves sometimes struggle to form new friendships. As teenagers, they avoid the chance to connect with a potential love interest, because they assume theyll be rejected. And as adults, they might choose not to apply for the dream job because they assume it wont work out.I know this is true, because I didnt have a high opinion of myself as a child. I found myself struggling in many areas, and Id hate to see my children suffer the same fate.Sometimes, words are just words. But some words can make the kind of impact Id very much like to avoid for my children. I dont fear strong language; I fear language that makes us weak.25. How did the author feel on hearing his kids saying “I hate you”?A. Depressed.B. Annoyed.C. Unconcerned.D. Excited.26. Why wont the author allow the three words “I hate myself”?A. Because the influence of thinking in this way is negative.B. Because it hurts parents to hear their kids saying so.C. Because it doesnt make any sense to blame oneself.D. Because the impoliteness of saying so is unbearable.27. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “linger” in paragraph 5?A. come to an end B. continue to existC. begin to change D. become out of dateC On March 17, people around the world celebrate the Irish holiday of Saint Patricks Day. It is a major holiday in Ireland, but the rest of the world has influenced its celebration as much as the Irish themselves.Most Americans think of Saint Patricks Day as a big party centered around drinking alcohol. But its beginnings in Ireland were religious, says Mike Cronin, a professor of Irish history with Boston College of Massachusetts.Ireland is a mostly Roman Catholic country. Saint Patrick lived in Ireland more than 2,000 years ago. He is widely considered to have established Christianity in the country. The Church honored him with a holy day in the 17th century. March 17 marks the date of his death. The average Irish person honored March 17 quietly. Attending church services was the main activity. In fact, most businesses that served alcohol would close in honor of the day.In the early 1900s, Irelands government made St. Patricks Day an official holiday. By the 1960s, towns across Ireland started celebrating the holiday with parades and music. In Ireland today, St. Patricks Day is a four-day public celebration that includes parades, music, food, and games.For Irish people living outside Ireland, Saint Patricks Day became a chance to celebrate their Irish identity and culture. Now, countries and cities around the world celebrate March 17 in creative ways. Many countries hold Saint Patricks Day parades. Famous monuments, including the Great Wall of China, the Niagara Falls, and the Gateway of India in Mumbai will all be colored by green light for the day. Cronin says that the worldwide popularity of Saint Patricks Day has helped the Irish government, which uses the holiday as a form of diplomacy. And for a small island of 4.5 to 5 million people its quite remarkable that they have that kind of soft power.28. How did average Irish people celebrate Saint Patricks Day in the 17th century?A. Drinking alcohol. B. Parading in the streets.C. Attending church services peacefully. D. Coloring well-known monuments green.29. What can we learn from the passage?A. Saint Patricks Day is the most significant day in the US.B. Saint Patricks Day plays a role in foreign affairs in Ireland today.C. Saint Patricks Day is celebrated worldwide today as in the 17th century.D. On Saint Patricks Day, parades and parties are held throughout America.30. What is the passage mainly about?A. The origin of Saint Patricks Day.B. The celebration of Saint Patricks Day.C. The influence of Saint Patricks Day on the world.D. The role of Saint Patricks Day in Irish diplomacy.31. What is Cronins attitude towards the popularity of Saint Patricks Day?A. Unclear. B. Neutral. C. Negative. D. Positive.DAs a child, visiting the zoo was more a punishment than a treat. I didnt find the chimps tea parties funny, nor the bird shows entertaining. Feeding time for seals was less painful, but their performances still seemed like they belonged more in a circus（马戏团）. And I hated circuses, especially the animal acts men teasing lions, girls balancing on elephants and monkeys playing football. I knew that every trick a circus animal did was unnatural, achieved through strict training and quite possibly cruelty.Happily, during my lifetime public attitudes and the law have changed. Circuses using wild animals are now almost extinct, and zoos have definitely evolved. When my children were young, I occasionally took them to our local zoo. The elephants were in tiny cages and the gorillas looked bored as they sat peeling bananas and staring at teasing visitors. Each cage had a sign which listed the animals name and where it came from. But, back then, there was little information included about the environmental challenges they faced. As a result, environmentalists and animal lovers often oppose zoos. “Animals belong in the wild,” is a common and understandable complaint. But what do the animals themselves prefer? Generally speaking, zoo animals have a longer life. But you may protest they are not free. What? Free to be hunted and killed, free to die of hunger or thirst? Maybe sitting in a cage eating bananas isnt so bad.Not that such conditions are acceptable in modern zoos, due to the work of BIAZA, the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums. These days every zoo requires BIAZAs approval to operate, and the association sets the standards, observes conditions in zoos and develops animal-research programmes, both in the UK and abroad. BIAZA also organizes the animal exchanges between zoos all over the world. Consequently, today, most zoo animals are born and raised in zoos, live in large, comfortable enclosures and are cared for by well-trained, knowledgeable and caring zoo employees. Of course its no substitute for living in the wild but unfortunately this isnt always possible. Meanwhile, why not visit your local zoo and decide for yourself?32. The passage is mainly about _.A. how zoos have improvedB. whether a zoo should be closed downC. a new environmental organizationD. the difference between zoos and circuses33. From Paragraph 2, we can guess that the writer believes circus animals _.A. had much shorter lives than those in the wildB. were not treated well by their trainersC. should have been placed in zoos D. were not as intelligent as those in zoos34. Which of the following roles are performed by BIAZA?A. Organizing animal study projects and training zoo workers.B. Checking zoo conditions and arranging animal exchanges.C. Designing zoos and approving zoo operations.D. Caring for ill animals and setting zoo standards.35. Which of the following statements about zoos would the writer agree with?A. Zoo animals should be freed into the wild.B. Zoos are more popular now than in the past. C. Zoo animals are more restricted than in the past.D. Zoos now provide caring living conditions for animals.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。Everyone has feelings of anxiety, nervousness and stress from time to time.

We were standing behind the counter 43 hot food to whoever came in. Most of our 44 looked like they had been having hard times; their clothes were worn out and dirty. 45 , they looked needy! Then, a man came in, who looked 46 but needy. He was well-dressed, in a(n) 47 suit. I wondered what he was doing there, and my jaw (下巴) dropped in 48 , when he joined the line for 49 . The closer he came to my 50 station, the more I muttered (嘀咕) to my self. What was this man doing? I wanted to know. Surely he wasnt going to take food 51 for those who were really in need!Then my mother quietly took me to one side. She said, “You have 52 that the needs of the people who come here must be purely 53 : for food, shelter, clothing, etc. And this gentleman doesnt seem to have any of those problems. 54 what if his needs are emotional? What if he needs 55 , friends, or just to be among other human beings?” Her words hit me like a ton of bricks! I felt I should 56 to the man but I didnt.About a week later the shelter received a lar
