14．One day a few years ago we had a guest of the uninvited variety．In fact，it was a bird，（40）C，a sparrow．
"What's that？"I asked when I first heard the gentle thumping（重?fù)袈暎?It sounds like Joe is outside playing basketball，"my wife，Anita，said．She（37）Band listened more devotedly．"It's coming from the（38）C．"she said．"Maybe it's one of the little kids．"We rushed out the door．Jonathan，our youngest，was（39）Ato make trouble．"If he's making holes in the wall again…"I said as I searched there．No（40）Bat all．But there was that（41）Dagain，coming from right up there．

"Poor thing，"Anita said．"It must be（48）D．"
"Well，maybe it's because of us，"I said as I moved toward it．I tried to show the bird how to glide（滑翔）down to get outside，but that only seemed to（49）Ait more．"Why don't we just （50）Afor a few minutes？"Anita suggested．"I'm sure he'll （51）Deventually．"So we went back into the house，where we continued to hear the ongoing（52）CThen suddenly，it was（53）D．We looked into the garage，and our uninvited guest was gone．
"See？"Anita said．"I told you he'd succeed．"
"Yeah，"I said．"But how many knocks on the head did it（54）Ahim？"

19．If you visited your Qzone，Youku．com or other social media websites recently，you might have thought that some famous people and even some of your friends had gone mad．
They took buckets（桶） of icy water and poured them over their heads．They recorded the process，and even asked you to join them!
Welcome to the Ice Bucket Challenge．The challenge is simple：When challenged，one either pours a bucket of icy water over his or her head or donates $100 to the ALS（肌萎縮側(cè)索硬化） Organization．He or she can do both，of course．
As the challenge has got more and more popular，however，I think that it has lost its real meaning．The activity's initial（最初的） purpose was to make more people pay attention to ALS and donate money for scientists to treat the disease．However，the videos have caught people's attention too far from the real purpose of the activity．Many people did it just for fun or to follow the trend（潮流）．They didn't even know what ALS was，let alone donate money to the charity．
Some people even tried hard to take the challenge in a funny way．They didn't know how bad the ALS patients would feel if they watched those videos．
At the same time，the world is facing another challenge-the water crisis（危機(jī)）．According to The Washington Post，the Ice Bucket Challenge had already used over 5 million gallons （14 million liters） of water by August，which put the world's freshwater reserves（儲(chǔ)存） under a lot of pressure．
In short，the Ice Bucket Challenge has changed from a good thing to a show．ALS patients need our kindness，help and respect．We should do something to help them．
29．According to the passage，the real purpose of the Ice Bucket Challenge was toC．
A．a(chǎn)sk more people to join in making films and become famous．
B．let more people have fun and follow the trend．
C．make more people pay attention to ALS and donate money．
D．make ALS patients feel that they are not alone．
30．Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage？A
A．Many people knew what ALS was and donated lots of money．
B．Some people tried to take the challenge in a funny way．
C．The Ice Bucket Challenge has wasted a lot of water．
D．The world is facing another challenge-the water crisis．
31．What best describes the writer's attitude to the Ice Bucket Challenge？B
A．Exited．B．Worried．C．Satisfied．D．Interested．

20．In a society such as the United States or Canada，which has many national，religious and cultural differences，people highly value individualism-the differences among people．Teachers place a lot of importance on the qualities that make each student special．The educational systems in these countries show these values．Students do not memorize all possible basic knowledge．Instead，they work individually and find answers by themselves．There is often discussion in the classroom．At an early age，students learn to form their own ideas and opinions．
In most Asia societies，by contrast，the people have the same language，history and culture．Perhaps for this reason，the educational system in much of the orient reflects society's belief in group goals and purposes rather than individualism．Children in China，Japan and Korea often work together and help one another on assignments．
There are advantages and disadvantages of both systems of education．For example，one advantage of the system in Japan is that students there learn much more about maths，physics，biology and chemistry than American students by the end of high school．They also study more hours each day and more days each year than North Americans do．The system is difficult，but it prepares students for a society that values discipline and self-control．There is，however，a disadvantage．Memorization is an important learning method in Japanese schools，yet many students say that after an exam，they forget much of the information that they have memorized．
The advantage of the educational system in North America，on the other hand，is that students learn to think for themselves．The system prepares them for a society that values creative ideas．There is，however，a disadvantage．When students graduate from school，they haven't memorized as many basic rules and facts as students in other countries have．
32．The writer's purpose of writing this passage isC．
A．to share his idea with others in a new way
B．to criticize the society that values memorization
C．to introduce two different systems of education through contrast
D．to prepare students for society
33．Which is NOT true according to the passage？D
A．The system of education in the West is more creative than that in the East．
B．Japanese students learn much more about science than American students．
C．Canadian students are more individual than Korean students．
D．Students in North America are not as friendly as those in Asia．
34．From the facts，we can infer thatA．
A．Asian students are more likely to do better in teamwork than American students
B．Chinese students are more hardworking in their studies than Mexican students
C．the Western educational system is much better than the Eastern educational system
D．the Eastern educational system is as difficult as the Western educational system
35．What is the best title of the passage？C
A．Advantages and disadvantages of educational system
B．The value of individualism
C．Educational system-an obvious difference between the East and the West
D．Memorization-an important learning method．

2．Many people lie awake at night，worrying about something from their job to the future．Now，researchers have discovered a simple and cheap solution：going to bed earlier．What time a person goes to bed and how much they sleep affects how much they worry，according to a new study．
Researchers found people who go to bed later，or sleep less，have pessimistic thoughts that seem to repeat in their minds，which they feel unable to control．
They also tend to worry excessively about the future，look back too much on the past，and experience annoying thoughts，mirroring the symptoms of people with anxiety and depression．
Regular lack of sleep might actually be linked to the development of anxiety，the researchers concluded．
The findings，coming after a number of studies，suggested getting between seven and eight hours sleep which is essential for good health．Less than this is thought to increase the risk of a person becoming fat，depressed，and can even cause severe health problems such as cancer and heart disease，because it upsets the body clock．
As part of the new study，researchers asked 100young adults at Binghamton University to complete questionnaires and two tasks on computer．These measured how much the students worried about something．They were also asked if they were more of a"morning"or an"evening"person．
The researchers found that people who sleep for shorter periods of time-and go to bed later-often experience more negative thoughts than others．
This was also true for those students who described themselves as evening types．
Jacob Nota，of Binghamton University，who carried out the research，said，"Making sure that sleep is obtained during the right time of the day may be an inexpensive and easy solution for individuals who are both bothered by negative thoughts"．
29．According to the findings mentioned in the passage，which of the following shows the correct order？D
A．Experiencing negative thoughts-＞Going to bed late-＞Suffering anxiety
B．Going to bed late-＞Suffering anxiety-＞Experiencing negative thoughts
C．Suffering anxiety-＞Experiencing negative thoughts-＞Going to bed late
D．Going to bed late～＞Experiencing negative thoughts-＞Suffering anxiety
30．What information do Para 2and Para 3mainly give？B
A．The causes of sleeping less
B．The  findingsof the research on sleep
C．Symptoms of anxiety and depression
D．The  effects of the research on sleep
31．How was the research carried out？B
A．By testing and comparing
B．Bysurveyingandanalyzing
C．By checking and measuring
D．Byobserving and interviewing．

9．Teachers and parents usually call attention to the pictures when reading storybooks to preschool children．But a new study suggests that calling attention to the print the words and letters on the page may lead to（1）Breaders．
The two-year study（2）Achildren aged 3 to 5 who were regularly read to this way in class with children who were not．In all，over three hundred students，who were considered to be at serious risk of（3）C reading problems in future life，were（4）Din a classroom setting．After reviewing the recorded lessons，the researchers found that those students whose teachers most often（5）Bthe print showed clearly higher skills in reading，spelling and understanding．
Professor Shayne Piasta，the study's author，says most teachers would find this method（6）Dbecause it needs only a small change in the way they teach．They already read storybooks in class．The only（7）Ain the new method would be increased attention to the print．
Ms．Piasta says if adults can（8）Cchildren in the stories and get them to pay attention to letters and words，it makes sense that they will do better at（9）Arecognition．But few parents and teachers do this in a（10）Bway starting first with letters，then（11）Cmoving to words，sentences and paragraphs．
Teachers and parents can point to a letter and outline its（12）Bwith a finger．They can point out a word and（13）C．"This is‘dog'"．They can discuss the（14）Dof the print to find how the words combine to tell the story．And they can talk about the（15）Aof the print for example，how words are written from left to fight．
