阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中（A、B、C和D），选出最佳选项。
A
Have you heard about Post Office Cats in Britain? They are mouse hunters. The post office has actually employed cats since 1868. They are not employed to sort or deliver mail, of course, but to protect the mail and keep the population of mice under control. They make sure your morning post arrives free from damages caused by rats and mice.
London post offices were the first to try out the experiment. Within a few months the cats in the war against rats and mice as well. Within ten years the pay of the cats was improved from one and a half old pence a day to six or nine pence a day. Now the average rate of pay is about a few pounds a month.
Some of the hard-working cats have become quite famous. In 1980, a cat named Lucky stopped an attempted robbery in a Worcestershire post office on her own. As the two burglars made their way in through the window, Lucky started an attack and they fled empty-handed.
Another excellent cat was Jerry, of Earls Court post office in London. He served the building for 16 years and was on duty for 24 hours every day. He drove all the mice away.
However, there are fewer cats employed by the post office than at any time in the past. With the faster movement of the mail and better surroundings, post office cats are not always needed. But many post offices still employ them and they become great friends with the postmen. According to the post office, there is no plan for their services to be discontinued in the foreseeable future.
21. Cats were introduced to British post offices to ________.
A. help sort and deliver mails and papers B. guard the building against thieves
C. keep mails and papers undamaged D. search for certain dangers in mails
22. The underlined word “shrunk” in the second paragraph probably means “________”.
A. decreased B. increased C. narrowed D. expanded
23. The cat named Lucky became famous because________.
A. She served the post office for 16 years around the clock.
B. She alone drove two burglars away from the post office.
C. She protected mails from being bitten by mice.
D. She was employed to sort and deliver mail.
24. We may learn from the last paragraph that________.
A. the duty of the cats has been replaced by machines
B. all the post offices are now completely mice free
C. cats are now considered of little use in post offices
D. cats will still be seen in service for quite a long time
B
When did you last go outside for sports? Some students might need a while to remember. But for students in Yangzhou University it is easy to remember as they need to run in the morning at least three times a week during their two terms. The university even uses fingerprint punch-in clocks(指纹签到机) to manage students’ records. However, some students still try to skip(不参加) morning running. To them, sports are just not important enough.
Now colleges are seeing a change in the student lifestyle from outdoor enthusiasts to indoor couch potatoes and Internet addicts. The Internet and various on-campus services, from food
delivery to laundry, are leading to a student culture of staying in dormitories. A student can have every need met without leaving the dormitory.
In the past two years Zhang Yi, 20, a junior majoring in law at Yangzhou University, has never been outside for sports except during physical education class. “I don’t think there is anything wrong with sleeping late in the morning and wanting to stay in the dormitory in my spare time. I have more fun doing things on my computer than playing on the sports ground in wet clothes.” said Zhang.
“With social networking sites, online games and micro-blogging added to already tight schedules, sports are often the last thing to be considered.” said Cheng Jie, 21, a senior majoring in civil engineering at the Southeast University in Nanjing.
But Jin Yinghua, a professor at Beijing Sports University, said that sports are not only for keeping fit, but also an irreplaceable(不能替代的) “education” for students. Sports are not only a way for students to train their body, but also an important way to learn responsibility, teamwork and devotion.
25. The first paragraph mainly tells us ________.
A. the fingerprint punch-in clocks are widely used
B. some college students have poor memories
C. students cannot skip morning running any more
D. the problem of students skipping sports is serious
26. According to Cheng Jie, college students ________.
A. love sports more than anything else
B. prefer Internet games to sports
C. enjoy sleeping late in the morning
D. are too busy with study to do any sports
27. Professor Jin thinks that _______________.
A. sports play an important role in students’ over-round development
B. the most important goal for students to do sports is to keep healthy
C. universities should take tough measures in student management
D. the spirit of responsibility can be developed in more than one way
28. The best title of the passage would be________.
A. Morning running at colleges
C. Sports losing attraction B. A new college life D. P.E. class at colleges
C
What are the two different things that make human different from other animals? One is language, and the other is music. It is true that some animals can sing. However, the songs of animals are very simple. It is also true that humans, not animals, have developed musical instruments.
Music is clearly different from language. However, people can use music to communicate with others, especially their emotions. When music is combined with speech, it’s a very powerful form of communication.
If music is truly different from speech, then we should process music and language in different parts of the brain. The scientific studies have proved that it is true. For example, Vissarion Shebalin, a Russian composer, had a stroke(中风) in1953. It injured the left side of his brain. He couldn’t speak or understand speech. However, he still could compose music until his death. On the other hand, sometimes strokes cause people to lose their musical ability, but they can still speak and understand speech.
Why does music have a strong effect on us physically and emotionally? That’s a hard question to answer. Geoffrey Miller, a researcher at a university, thinks that music and love have a strong connection. Music requires a special talent, practice and physical ability. For example, playing a musical instrument requires fine, muscular control. You also need good memory to remember the notes. And playing those notes correctly suggests that your hearing is in excellent condition. Finally, when a man sings to the woman he loves, it may be a way of showing off.
However, Miller’s theory still doesn’t explain why certain combinations of sounds influence our emotions so deeply. For scientists, this is clearly an area that needs further research.
29. We can learn from the first paragraph that___________.
A. music is more important than language
B. human’s music is the same as animals
C. animals are cleverer than humans in music
D. music also makes man different from animals
30.The example of Vissarion Shebalinis used to show that________.
A. he was the luckiest person in the world
B. he was really interested in composing music
C. music and language are the same thing for some people
D. the brain processes music and language in different parts
31. Playing a musical instrument requires the following things except _______.
A. good hearingB. a sensitive nose
C. a good memory D. fine muscular control
32. According to the last paragraph, scientists _________.
A. are losing their interest in studying music
B. have difficulty in doing research on music
C. have known everything about music
D. don’t know how music affects our emotions
D
Although Douglas Engelbart, whose invention of the mouse changed the way people interact with computers, died several years ago, his influence can still be seen everywhere. Anyone in the world who uses a mouse is grateful to him.
Decades ago, Engelbart came up with the idea we now know as a mouse. His first prototype(原型)， which featured a carved-out wooden block, wheels and a tiny red button, looked quite different from the smooth plastic design now seen everywhere around the world. As a rader(雷达) technician during World WarⅡ, Engelbart, worked at the Stanford Research Institute(SRI) during the 1960s. It was there that an idea of people sitting in front of a video screen and interacting with a computer came to him.
Back then, it wasn’t easy to convince fellow scientists to follow his idea. But he didn’t give up. Later, he founded the Douglas Engelbart Institute, a non-profit organization whose duty was to develop the collective ability to solve complex and urgent problems. “Sometimes I reflect on how simple somebody has to be in order to get visions” Engelbart told CNN in 1997.
In addition to the computer mouse, Engelbart’s work at SRI from 1957 to 1977 helped develop technology innovation such as the editing display, online processing and the use of multiple windows, the institute said, “Douglas was a great person who made the world a much
better place and who deeply touched us,” Carlson, SRI’s CEO, said. “33. From the text we can know that________.
A. Douglas invented the mouse a decade ago
B. Douglas died soon after he invented the mouse
C. it was Douglas who invented the computer mouse
D. relationships between people have changed because of Douglas
34. What can we know from the underlined part said by Carlson?
A. He thought the mouse was Douglas’ biggest invention.
B. He believed working at SRI for long led to Douglas’ success.
C. He showed his decision to continue Douglas’ work at SRI.
D. He spoke highly of Douglas’ great accomplishments.
35. Which of the following can be used as the title of the text?
A. The great difference between the original mouse and the modern one.
B. Douglas, inventor of the mouse.
C. SRI, a key cradle of world-famous scientists.
D. Tips on how to be successful in one’s career.

Facing the challenges of our life
Challenges of life are of great importance in our growth. As the saying goes, “No cross, no crown”/“No pains，no gains.” Only by facing and overcoming difficulties in our life can we grow up happily and healthily.
It reminds me of my experience when I joined in the military training after I entered senior high school. It was the first time I had lived away from my home, so I found it difficult to fit in. And the training officer was strict with us. I once thought I couldn’t stick to the end. But anyway, I made it. The trials made it easier for me to adapt to life in high school, and the difficulties I came across have now become a precious memory in my life.
In short, life consists of not only sunshine but also hardships. We should be brave in face of difficulties. Let’s learn to regard the challenges of life we are facing as a stepping-stone to future success and make the best of them.
