When we finally arrived where we started,I was out of 27."Just about even. 试卷第2页，共11页 You're pretty good,"he said.He walked out of the water and up the beach.I stayed where I was,28 Ten minutes later my friend,Sammy Kauua,arrived.I told him what had happened. Sammy laughed,"Are you 29?That's Duke Kahanamoku.He won gold medals at the Olympics!" Several days later when I saw Kahanamoku on the beach,I talked to him about his swimming 30.What I really wanted to know was 31 an athlete could become good enough to win in the Olympics."Oh,I trained,"he said."32 not hard, really.I did most of my swimming at the beach.I swam because I liked it.We trained of course,but 33 we just swam.It was natural."

But despite her worries,she let me go on my own.As I moved into my teens,she continued to give me space to grow and learn,even when it might have been difficult for her. When I reached my senior year,I decided to move away for college.Once again I found that I differed from my peers.While many of them wanted to stay close to home,I couldn't wait to be out in the world on my own.While my mom may not have been happy at the thought of my going away,she was supportive and excited for me. One big thing I realized during my senior year,as my mom granted me more freedom, was that she actually believes in me and trusts me.That means a lot.Most of my life,and especially when I was little,the main person I tried to impress in my schoolwork or other things was my mother.I knew she expected nothing but the best from me.Sometimes it was hard to live up to her standards:getting a single B on my report card would make me feel bad because I knew she wanted me to have all As. I know that her high standards have helped me stay focused on what's important,like education,and made me who I am.I am thankful for her support and involvement in my life. Most of all I respect her.She is the strongest woman I know and that's why I have turned out so strong and independent. 36.When the author decided to go to Puerto Rico,his mother_ A.wanted to go with him B.didn't allow him to do so C.worried about his safety D.asked his grandmother for advice 37.Why did the author decide to move away for college?

A.his mother's expectations ofhim B.his long way to become independent C.his good relationship with his mother D.the importance of his mother's trust and support Leg over leg,a furry brownish-black spider pulls on a single silk thread,tightening the frame of its web.It pulls and pulls and it waits.Minutes pass,sometimes hours.Then, when an unsuspecting insect flies by,the spider releases the thread,springing itself and its satellite-shaped web toward its prey.All of this happens in the blink of an eye. Those eye-watering numbers led Georgia Tech chemical engineer Saad Bhamla to wonder:How are these tiny spiders achieving such fast movements?Then he started to investigate.He checked the literature and found only a few papers.The papers were decades old and only described the slingshot motion,not the speeds or G-forces the spiders experienced.So Bhamla enlisted the help of his assistant,Symone Alexander,and together they "went out hunting for spiders in the Amazon rainforest,"Alexander says. After locating one of the spiders,which measures roughly 2 millimeters in length,the researchers would set up portable high-speed cameras with special lenses and record its motions.Then,either Alexander or Bhamla would snap their fingers to get the spider to launch itself through the air.Only later did the pair learn that a human finger-snap closely matches the frequency of a buzzing mosquito and that seemed to be the only frequency that set the spiders'spring off."It's just amazing that we can snap our fingers and get this magical thing,”Bhamla says. Analyzing the footage,Alexander and Bhamla could watch exactly how the spider adjusted itself on the tension line at the front of its web.The speed and acceleration of this spider are impressive,but so is the fact that,unlike most web-building spiders,it's actively hunting,Bhamla says."It's changed the function of its web,"he says."Instead of waiting for 试卷第5页，共11页 something to bump into it,the spider is going after things ..actually catching flying insects in midair.” 40.What does the underlined word"prey"refer to?

People who frequently eat fruit are more likely to report greater positive mental health and are less likely to report symptoms of depression than those who do not,according to new research from the College of Health and Life Sciences,Aston University.The team also found that people who eat savoury(咸味的)snacks such as crisps(薯片)，which are low in nutrients (营养)，are more likely to report greater levels of anxiety. Published in the British Journal of Nutrition,the study surveyed 428 adults from across the UK and looked at the relationship between their consumption of fruit,vegetables,sweet and savoury snacks,and their psychological(health.The research found that both nutrient-rich fruit and nutrient-poor savoury snacks appeared to be linked to psychological health.They also found that there was no direct association between eating vegetables and psychological health.Based on the survey,the more often people ate fruit,the lower they scored for depression and the higher for mental health,independent of the overall quantity of fruit intake.By contrast,there was no link between these everyday memory lapses and 试卷第6页，共11页 fruit and vegetables intake or sweet snacks,suggesting a unique relationship between these nutrient-poor savoury snacks,every day mental lapses,and psy chological health Lead author,PhD student Nicola-Jayne Tuck commented,"Very little is known about how diet may affect mental health,and while we did not directly examine causality here,our findings could suggest that frequently snacking on nutrient-poor savoury foods may increase everyday mental loss,which in tum reduces psychological health." "It is possible that changing what we snack on could be a really simple way to improve our mental health..It is also possible that the future limit of processed(特s殊处理的)snacks at checkouts,could not only improve the country's physical health,but mental health too." "Overall,it's definitely worth trying to get into the habit of reaching for the fruit bowl." 44.Which may lead to greater level of anxiety? A.Savoury snacks. B.Fruit. C.Vegetables. D.Grain. 45.What can we learn from paragraph 2? A.Rich fruit appears not to be linked to psychological health B.The more fruit people eat,the lower they score for depression C.There is a relation between the nutrient-poor snacks and mental health. D.There is a direct link between eating vegetables and psychological health 46.What does the underlined word"causality"in paragraph 3 refer to? A.The relation between fruit and vegetables. B.The relation between exercise and health. C.The relation between snacks and mental health D.The relation between diet and mental health. 47.Which is the most suitable title for the text?

When she's not teaching others about wolves,Alyssa can be found volunteering at her local animal shelter,taking care of dogs and cats.She's also trained as a citizen scientist for Frog Watch USA.In short,Alyssa Grayson proves that you are never too young to make a difference for animals. When asked how she got interested in saving wolves,Alyssa says,"I've loved wolves since I saw them in a movie when I was 2 or 3 years old.Then one day I saw a commercial about wolf hunting.I asked my mother why people do this,and she told me because people don't like wolves.I decided from then that I wanted to save wolves." Today,wolves are hunted,trapped,or poisoned.Hunters chase wolves for miles in an airplane until the wolves are too exhausted to run any more.Then they shoot them.The animal doesn't have a chance to escape.Animals are also trapped for their fur.They are left to suffer in a trap with no food,water,or shelter.Alyssa thinks the fur looks better on the animal in the wild.where it's meant to be,than on a human. Alyssa believes wolves are important to our worlds.She says,"Wolves are an apex predator,which means they are at the top of the food chain.Removing them from the ecosystem is a big mistake..The ecosystem is like a chain of dominoes(多米诺骨牌)一with the apex predator as the one in front.If you were to knock down that domino,the rest of the chain would go down too." People usually think of "the Big Bad Wolf'when they hear about wolves.However, Alyssa says,"If they would base their thoughts on facts,not fairy tales,we wouldn't have people wanting to kill wolves." 48.Alyssa is known as"wolf girl"at her school because_ A.she keeps wolves as pets B.she was raised by wolves C.she does a lot to protect wolves D.she started a wolf club at her school 49.According to the first and second paragraphs,Alyssa_.

The study found teenage drivers who played their own music had significantly more traffic violations (compared with background music designed by the researchers to minimize driving distractions,or no music Researchers at Ben-Gurion University in Israel recruited ()85 drivers about 18 years old; just over half were male.The subjects were each assigned to drive six challenging road trips that were about 40 minutes long,accompanied by an experienced driving instructor.Music was played on four trips,two with selections from the drivers'playlists,mostly fast-paced vocals,and two with background music,which was a mixture of easy listening,soft rock and light jazz designed to increase driver safety.No music was played on two trips.Subjects rated their mood after each trip and in-car data recorders analyzed driver behavior and errors. All 85 subjects committed at least three errors in one or more of the six trips;27 received a warning and 17 required steering or braking by an instructor to prevent an accident.When the music was their own,98%made errors;without the music,92%made errors;and while listening to the safe-driving music,77%made errors.Speeding,following too close, inappropriate lane use,and one-handed driving were the common violations The male subjects were more aggressive drivers and made more serious errors than female 试卷第9页，共11页 subjects.The teens played their own music at a very loud volume but significantly decreased the sound level when listening to the safe-driving music,researchers said.Mood ratings were highest on trips with driver-preferred music. 52.What is the key information the author wants to give in Paragraph 1? A.Many drivers played their favorite music while driving. B.Drivers shouldn't search for the buttons to find a good song. C.Song selection has nothing to do with increased risk of crashes. D.Listening to certain types of music can increase drivers'errors. 53.What does the underlined word"subjects"refer to in this passage? A.Something being discussed B.People being written about.
