He thought that he would die soon if nobody came to help him. Just at the moment, Henry happened to be passing by. Hearing the cry, Henry ran to the riverside, threw off his clothes and jumped into the water quickly. He swam to Robert as fast as possible and helped Robert out just as he couldn’t swim any longer. By his great effort, he saved Robert at last. Robert’s life was saved. Robert was deeply moved by Henry’s heroic deed and burst into tears. He and his new friends were ashamed at having called Henry a coward. They realized that Henry had true courage and he was a real hero, not a coward. When Robert shook Henry’s hands and said sorry to Henry, Henry forgave him with a smile. Robert and Henry were friends again and after school they went home together happily as usual. 听力原文及答案 1.

B “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade (柠檬水).” It is a good saying, but life throws at us more serious problems than lemons, doesn’t it? What do we do when we lose a family member? What do we do when we have been through events that leave us feelings? Can any failure be turned into success? Most of us realize we can learn one or two things from failure. When we fail, we think, “Well, I won’t try that again! ”or “I won’t trust anyone again! ”But this is not useful learning. It is suggested that we ask challenging questions. For example, “How could I try that again?” There are a lot we can learn and get from failure if we keep asking good questions on how to do better next time. Failure or pain can be good for developing our character if we choose to face it in a positive way. Our own suffering often makes us understand others better. It can give us wisdom or knowledge to share with others, which can prevent them from similar failure. If we have been hurt by others because of another person’s poor character, it may improve us to be better persons. Failures can make us experience many things that we didn’t experience before. If you lose your job, it doesn’t mean you lose everything and probably you may get more. As we know, no job often leads to self employment; no job has been the beginning of many highly successful businesses. It is common that we don’t like changing, but change, even unfortunate change, brings new opportunities. Sometimes only failure brings us better opportunities or greater success. 24. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 means that ________. A. failure can also be turned into a success B. problems always bring us lots of trouble C. problems can never be avoided in our life D. any lemons can be made into lemonade 25. The 2nd paragraph mainly tells us that ________. A. We should learn more when we fail B. We must be careful to trust anyone C. We should deal with failure positively D. We must ask questions when we fail 26. According to the writer, if you were hurt by another person, you should ________. A. find a better way to hurt him bravely B. avoid hurting others in the same way C. try to prevent him from hurting others D. thank him for making you more perfect 27. What is the best title of the passage? A. Failure Decides success B. Failure Creates Opportunities C. Failure Brings Everything D. Failure Makes a Perfect Person C Traveling to watch their team play at the World Cup took a little longer than usual for two French fans. Mehdi Balamissa and Gabriel Martin decided the best way to travel from France to Qatar was on two wheels. The friends spent three months traveling 7,000 kilometers by bicycle to reach Qatar 2022 and watch their beloved France defend its title. “It was a crazy idea, but we’re the kind of people that have big ideas and don’t want to have any regrets,” Balamissa said, as both spoke to CNN Sport a day after arriving in the country. “So, since we are both self-employed, we decided to block off three months of our time and come to Qatar.” The pair started their mammoth (庞大) journey at the Stade de France in Paris, home of the French national team, and finished at the stunning Lusail Stadium, the venue that will host the final at Qatar 2022. They would travel on average 115 kilometers per day, taking appropriate rest days when needed. They battled through the heat of the desert in Saudi Arabia as well as flooded woodland areas in Hungary as they made their winding way to Qatar, stopping off at campsites, lodges (乡间小舍) and hotels to sleep. The idea came about after cycling from France to Italy to watch their country play in the UEFA Nations League last year and they wanted to test themselves with a much longer trip. They hoped their trip would promote the benefits of eco-friendly travel and said they plan to offer cycling workshops to children from disadvantaged backgrounds when they eventually arrive home. The two cyclists encountered many problems along the way, including dozens of flat tires, but relied on their infectiously positive attitude to get them through. The pair laugh as they recall the time they had to travel 15 hours to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in order to find a bike repair shop before traveling 15 hours back to the exact point where they had stopped. “We had many troubles, but we fixed them as we went,” Martin told CNN. 28. Why did Balamissa and Martin go to Qatar? A. To watch their country defending its champion. B. To do cycling training. C. To close off three months for no regrets. D. To set them apart from the other fans. 29. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the two fans? A. They started the journey in Paris. B. They experienced severe challenges in the journey. C. They traveled on a new route. D. They enjoyed fantastic scenery along the journey. 30. What’s the purpose of the two fans’ cycling trip? A. To benefit more from the cycling workshops. B. To explore the secrets and laws of nature. C. To raise awareness of green tourism. D. To be involved in the UEFA Nations League. 31. What can best describe Balamissa and Martin? A. Energetic and determined. B. Cautious and smart. C. Hard-working and kind. D. Ambitious and considerate. D There are two kinds of people: those who like to pack up leftovers as soon as dinner is over, and those who let leftovers sit out for a few hours so they can cool down. However, both leaving leftovers out for a long period of time and adding hot items to the fridge can cause problems. Whether you should immediately put food in the fridge or let it sit out to cool depends on its temperature. Dangerous bacterial (细菌的) growth happens between 41 and 135 degrees F. Potentially harmful bacteria grows most rapidly at these temperatures. Placing lots of hot food in the fridge can raise the temperature of the fridge into this danger zone. Fridge temperatures should always be set below 40 degrees F. This may help the food get out of the danger zone as fast as possible. However, there’s no harm in putting hot food directly into the fridge if you need to. If you are a forgetful person, or if you won’t be around to store the food after it has cooled enough, go ahead and put it in the fridge. Your fridge can handle the heat and get the food cooled quickly. Food should never stay out at room temperature for more than two hours. Leftovers can become breeding grounds (滋生地) for dangerous bacteria if they’re left out too long and can make people sick. “It is OK to leave the food cooling outside before you hit the two-hour mark,” says Serena Poon, nutritionist of Le Cordon Bleu’s Grand Diploma training program. “In fact, the sooner you can get your leftovers in the fridge, the better.” 32. Which temperature most contributes to the growth of harmful bacteria? A. Below 40 degrees F. B. Between 41～135 degrees F. C. Between 39～40 degrees F. D. Above 135 degrees F. 33. What is the author’s attitude towards putting hot food directly into the fridge? A. Unclear. B. Worried. C. Neutral. D. Unconcerned. 34. What does Serena Poon suggest doing about the leftovers? A. Dividing them into small parts. B. Storing them in the fridge right away. C. Waiting until they cool down completely outside. D. Leaving them sitting at room temperature for two hours. 35. What is the best title for the text? A.To Cool Food Outside or in the Fridge B. How to Prevent Bacterial Growth C. How to Pack up Leftovers. D. A Good Idea to Store Food in the Fridge 第二节(共5小题:每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分) 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 You may look nice or just fine; however, you will never be happy with your looks if you don’t feel good about them.
