16．I suddenly heard an elephant crying as though frightened．Looking down，I immediately recognized that something was wrong，and ran down to the edge of the near bank．There I saw Ma Shwe with her three-month-old calf struggling in the fast-rising water，and it was a life-and-death struggle．Her calf was floating and screaming with fear．Ma Shwe was as near to the far bank as she could get，holding her whole body against the rushing water，and keeping the calf pressed against her huge body．Every now and then the rushing water would sweep the calf away．
There was a sudden rise in the water and the calf was washed clean over the mother's body and was gone．Ma Shwe turned quickly to reach it and pressed the calf with her head and trunk（象鼻） against the rocky bank．Then with a huge effort，she picked it up in her trunk and tried until she was able to place it on a narrow shelf of rock．
Just at this moment she fell back into the river．If she were carried down，it would be certain death．I knew，as well as she did，that there was one spot（地點(diǎn)） where she could get up the bank，but it was on the other side from where she had put her calf．
While I was wondering what I could do next，I heard the sound of a mother's love．Ma Shwe had crossed the river and got up the bank and was making her way back as fast as she could，roaring （吼叫） all the time，but to her calf it was music．

25．The moment the author got down to the river bank he sawD，
A．the calf was about to fall into the river
B．Ma Shwe was placing the calf on the rock
C．the calf was washed away by the rising water
D．Ma Shwe was holding the calf against the rushing water
26．How did Ma Shwe manage to save her calf from the fast-flowing water？A
A．By putting it on a safe spot．
B．By pressing it against her body．
C．By taking it away with her．
D．By carrying it on her back．
27．How did the calf feel about the mother elephant's roaring？A
A．It was a great comfort．
B．It was a sign of danger．
C．It was a call for help．
D．It was a musical note．
28．What can be the best title for the text？A
A．A Mother's Love        
B．A Brave Act
C．A Deadly River        
D．A Matter of Life and Death．

分析 本文講述作者目睹一頭小象落入水中，象媽媽救起小象，母愛是很偉大的

解答 25：D細(xì)節(jié)題．根據(jù)第一段Ma Shwe was as near to the far bank as she could get，holding her whole body against the rushing water，and keeping the calf pressed against her huge body．Ma Shwe 盡可能的用她的身體來阻擋湍急的水流，來使得小象不被沖走，故D項(xiàng)正確．
26：A細(xì)節(jié)題．根據(jù)第二段Ma Shwe turned quickly to reach it and pressed the calf with her head and trunk （象鼻） against the rocky bank．Ma Shwe 很快的靠近小象，用她的頭和鼻子來擋住小象，故得出A項(xiàng)．
27：A推斷題．根據(jù)最后一段Ma Shwe had crossed the river and got up the bank and was making her way back as fast as she could，roaring （吼叫） all the time，but to her calf it was music．Ma Shwe 跨過小河站起來，以最快的速度往回走，一路嘶吼，而她的焦急對于小象而言就是一個(gè)美妙的音樂，由此判斷A項(xiàng)正確．
28：A 主旨大意．根據(jù)整個(gè)文章所反應(yīng)在內(nèi)容得知選 A項(xiàng)．

6．Scientists can learn about man by studying animals，such as mice，rats and monkeys．The scientists in a laboratory are experimenting on mice and they are studying the relationship between diet and health．
In this experiment，the scientists are studying the relationship between the amount of food the mice can eat and their health．The mice are in three groups．All these groups are receiving the same healthy diet．But the amount of food that each group is receiving is different．The first group is eating one cup of food each day，the second two cups，and the third three cups．

7．People who show confidence really seem to have it made．They seize more rewarding careers，keep good relationships，and just seem to do everything with more styles than the rest of us．
So what is the secret？There isn't one．Self-confidence is a skill and habit that anyone can learn to develop．And although people who are raised in an encouraging environment with confident role models have a hard start in self-confidence development，we all can learn to become more confident at any age．
Try these simple tips for practising and increasing your self-confidence levels：
Dare to fail．Anybody who's out there bravely performing is going to fail repeatedly．If you are not failing，you are not trying．So don't take failure too hard or too personally．Just learn to deal with it and use its lessons to keep improving．
When in doubt，pretend you know what you are doing．Because，if you are confident of your abilities，by the time you have done it，you will be experienced．
Dress for success．You don't have to be beautiful to be confident．Make the most of your own unique physical characters and weaken your disadvantages．
Listen to yourself．You are the only person who knows what's right for you．Don't put others'opinions above your own inner voice．
Build a confident vocabulary．Stop putting yourself down and give up continually blaming your tiny weaknesses．Learn to show up your strong points and the world will learn to see and celebrate them with you．
Pass on the praise．Praise others for their virtues and strengths．This practice will not decrease your confidence，but help increase it．

39．The passage is written mainlyD．
A．to explain the definition of self-confidence
B．to explain the secret of self-confidence
C．to tell people how important self-confidence is
D．to tell people how to build self-confidence
40．The main idea of the sixth paragraph isC．
A．to be confident means to have no disadvantages
B．taking full advantage of your physical characters will help you be confident
C．your unique characters will help you be confident and be successful
D．to be confident means to be beautiful
41．All the following are tips to increase your self-confidence level EXCEPTC．
A．not to be afraid of failure             B．dress yourself properly
C．pretend to know everything              D．make your advantages more obvious
42．B will weaken your self-confidence．
A．Praising others for their strong points
B．Always following others'advice to do things
C．Giving up blaming your weaknesses
D．Believing in yourself．

6．Mystery shopping or a mystery consumer or secret shopper，is a tool used by market research companies，or by companies themselves to gather specific information about services．The mystery consumer's specific identity and purpose is generally not known by the people or organizations being evaluated．Mystery shopping became standard practice by the early l940s．Now it is used in any industry，with the most common venues being retail stores，hotels，movie theaters，restaurants，fast food chains，banks，gas stations，car dealerships，apartments，health clubs and health care facilities．
While gathering information，mystery shoppers usually pretend to be regular shoppers at the store being evaluated．They may be required to take photographs or measurements，return purchases，or count the number of products，seats，people during the visit．They also perform specific tasks such as purchasing a product，asking questions，registering complaints or behaving in a certain way，and then provide details about their experiences．
After the visit，the shopper submits the data collected to the mystery shopping company，which reviews the information，completing quantitative or qualitative statistical reports on the data for the client company．This allows for a comparison on how the stores or restaurants are doing against previously defined criteria．Mystery shopping organizations advise that their research should only be used for employee motivation programs，and punishing or even firing stuff is an inappropriate use of mystery-shopper data．Nevertheless，stories of employers．sacking workers as a direct result of unfavorable mystery shopper feedback are not uncommon．

25．A mystery shopper is expected toD．
A．a(chǎn)rgue with the manager
B．talk to regular customers
C．count the number of employees

D．It analyzes the report of employers．
27．What does the word"sacking"in the last paragraph refer to？A
A．dismissing
B．interrupting
