A person can choose to love. To myself,I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband.Well,for twoweeks that would change.And it did.Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said,That new yellow sweater looks great on you.Oh,Tom,you noticed,she said,surprised and pleased. Maybe a little puzzled.After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought Evelyns been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me. We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.So it went.Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director;a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums.Relaxed and happy,thats how the whole vacation passed.I made a new promise to keep on remembering to choose love.There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment,however.Evelyn and I still laugh about it today.On the last night at our cottage,preparing for bed,Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression.Whats the matter? I asked her.Tom, she said in a voice filled with distress,I dont? What do you mean?Well.that checkup I had several weeks ago.our doctor.did he tell you something about me?Tom,youve been so good to me.am I dying?It took a moment for it all to be understood.Then I burst out laughing.No,honey, I said,wrapping her in my arms.Youre not dying;Im just starting to live.21From the story we may infer that Tom drove to the beach cottage . Awith his familyBwith EvelynCaloneDwith his children22. The author says,There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment. What does one thing refer to?AHe praised her sweater,which puzzled her.BShe insisted on visiting a museum,which he hated. CHe knew something about her illness but didnt tell her. DHe was so good to her that she thought she must be dying.23By saying Im just starting to live, Tom means that . Ahe is just beginning to enjoy life as a loving husbandBhe is just beginning to understand the real meaning of lifeChe lived an unhappy life before and is now starting to changeDhe is beginning to feel regret for what he did to his wife beforeB.Car panies such as Tesla and Nissan have been leading the way in electric car technology.What makes these cars “green” is that because they run on electricity instead of gasoline，they do not give off any polluting greenhouse gases.The Toyota Mirai is also a kind of green car，since it is powered by a hydrogen fuel (氢燃料) battery.Hydrogen ，as you know ，exists in large quantities on the earth.It was used to powergaslights for centuries before electric lights came along.Hydrogen fuel can be made from many sources including water，natural gas and even rubbish.In terms of energy contained，9.5kg of hydrogen is equal to 25kg of gasoline.According to Toyota，the two tanks on the Mirai hold5kg of hydrogen ，and can cover a distance of over 300 miles.This is twice the output of gasoline cars.In a hydrogen fuel battery，the one proton (质子) and one electron in a hydrogen atom arebroken up.While the electrons power the car，the positivelycharged hydrogen proton bines with the oxygen atom to produce water.The process also produces a lot of heat which turns this water into water vapor.This is the reason that cars running on hydrogen fuel batteries giveoff water vapor from their exhaust pipes when running.According to Toyota，it takes only 5 minutes to refill a hydrogen tank，which is much quicker than charging electric cars.However ，the biggest challenge for the pany is theavailability of hydrogen charging stations.California and the New England states are in the process of building a hydrogen superhighwaywith charging stations along the way.Countries like Germany，Japan and UK are also adding more charging stations.The Toyota Mirai will be available in the U.S.in the second half of xx for $58,000.This hydrogenfueled car will probably take the place of gasoline cars in the near future.After all，it is an energysaving and environmentfriendly car.24According to the text，hydrogen Acan only be used as a fuel for carsBis a newlydiscovered energy sourceCprovides more energy than an equal amount of gasolineDwill soon bee the main fuel for most of Toyotas cars25What can we learn about the Toyota Mirai? AIt runs on both gasoline and hydrogen.BIt has bee a great threat to electric cars.CIt gives off only a few polluting greenhouse gases. DIt may sell well with more charging stations around.26What would be the best title for the text?AA new wave of green cars BThe benefits of electric carsCTesla: a leading car pany DHydrogen: future energy sourcesC.Grasse has always been associated with smell.In the Middle Ages it smelt particularly unpleasant due to its leather tanning（制革） industryThe nobles only rarely visited the pretty and charming townto pick up their handmade Grasse leather gloves.In spite of their grand lands in the surrounding countryside ，Grasse was certainly a necessary evil （邪恶） with no self-respecting nobles owning buildings thereMolinard，a Grasse tanner（制革工人） himself，created the first Grasse perfume（香水）.Wordspread like wildfire among the nobles about the designer perfumed glovesMolinard offered a pair of his gloves to Catherine de Medici （ the Queen ），who gave plenty of praise to her Grasse perfumed gloves；she almost assured Grasses reputation as the perfume capital of the worldThanks to Catherine de Medici，Grasse merchants（商人） were encouraged to grow the perfume plants that tanners needed to supply perfumed leather to the noblesGrasse has four perfume factories as well as a perfume school and a perfume museumFragonards perfume museum is situated on the first floor of its perfume factory and displays an amazing privatecollection of perfume bottles ，presentation boxes ，documents and equipment that tells the history ofperfume making from its earliest beginnings to the present day The perfume museum is open every day，Sundays and public holidays includedGrasse is certainly a perfumed heaven,a far cry from its smelly beginning as a leather tanning town Now famous for a far sweeter smell,Grasse is surrounded by fields of flowers that make real estate（不动产） in Grasse very popularThose looking for real estate in France would have to go a long way to find anywhere more charming than Grasse with the city of Nice and its airport just a short drive away and plenty of activitiesto enjoy in the surrounding countrysideReal estate in Grasse is situated between the Southern Alps andthe Cote dAzur，allowing owners the best of both worlds27Why was Grasse considered to be necessary although it was an evil？ ABecause it produced leather gloves BBecause it made the nobles look respectable CBecause many nobles lived in its countryside DBecause it was a beautiful and attractive town28According to the text，Fragonards perfume museum Ahas several perfume factoriesBcan be visited all the year aroundCis famous for its perfume schoolDshows visitors the history of Grasse29The underlined wordsa far cryin the 4th paragraph can be replaced by Aa good long cryBtotally absentCvery differentDfar distant30What is the main idea of the last paragraph？ AGrasse is still less petitive in real estate BGrasse is now a perfect place for people to liveCGrasse is being an important tourist attraction DLiving in Grasse might cause you much inconvenience 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。What Is Fear?Fear is a basic feeling arising when we fed threatened, and can have physical symptoms such as sweaty hands and an increased heart rate. 31 On the upside.Fear tells us are moving towards the edge of our fort zone.We are doing something unfamiliar and learning new skills. This means we are growing, and growth means that once we go beyond the unfortable bit, we will be stronger, better and brighter than before! 32 Things are never as bad as they seem.In most cases, the thing we fear is never as bad as we think it will be. When we are trying to makea decision to do something new, we lack the perspective（洞察力）to see further than the familiar range.33 No. If you look back on some of the scary things youve had to do in the past, you would now say“What was so scary about this?!”We are always stronger than we think!Fear can teach us so much about our personal powers. There is no other feeling like the victory you feel that makes you realize you won. 34 Who cares? You made the leap! This will build your confidence! Think of your yoga practice.
