A chestnut: racehorse was for sale? “She was the most beautifil thing l’d ever seen, though it had an injured leg,” said Terasa.When the bidding started, Terasa surprised herself by stepping in. Finally, Terasa became the new owner of Sierra, and Sierra, limping (跛) and hut twith pain from a broken knee, became a labour of love for Terasa. After three long months of nursing her under the guidance of a local animal doctor, the leg recovered.It wasn’t only Sierra’s leg that needed to recover; Sierra needed to releam how to trust people. Terasa thought the best way to win Sierra's trust and fondness was to feed her treats. Terasa kept providing Sierra with many treats, but none passed the sniff (嗅) test. Desperate, Terasa experimented by making her own mixture of molasses and grains, which she baked in her own kitchen. The cookies were a hit with Sienra and other horses, sending Terasa’s life in a new direction.Her treats, called “Barnies”, were sold to a local store and like hotcakes, within months local businessmen began demanding for more. Terasa's kitchen was no longer big enough for the increased demand, moving her operation to an Oshawa company.Then a serious health problem threatened to ruin her plans. Terasa called upon the same resolution that had helped her save Sierra to help her overcome her own illness. Family and friends came to her rescue and kept Bannies Ltd. going. Almost a year later, health y and more re solute than ever, Terasa found a national distributor and Bainies began selling in 144 stores across Canada.And what about Sierra, the inspiration for all this success and change? The horse has fully recovered and has become a wonderful riding horse.24. Why did Terasa create her own cookies?A. To show superb cooking skills. B. To provide a special diet for Sierra.C. To find a way to bond with the horse. D. To lay the foundation for her business.25. Which best describes Terasa according to paragraph 3?A. Inflexible. B. Pessimistic. C. Confident. D. Determined.26. Why is the last paragraph an effective conclusion?A. It raises a valuable question. B. It provides surprising information.C. It returns to the topic of the opening paragraph. D. It continues the focus of the paragraph before it.27. What is the text mainly about?A. A remarkable encounter. B. A famous food company.C. A rescue of a weak horse. D. A care er from previous devotion.CThe sound of leaves underfoot is usually associated with autumn. But this year, it was the soundtrack to summer walks across Europe, as maximum temperature records fell and the continent suffered its worst drought in 500 years.The drought had been building for months after a dry winter and spring,but it was worse by a series of fierce heatwaves over the summer, says Sim on Parry at the UK Centre for Ecology &Hydrology. In France, nuclear power plants were foreed to reduce their output as low river flows meant there wasn't enough water to cool their reactors. Water levels on the Rhine river dropped so far that ships loaded with goods in Germany and the Netherlands, including coal and petrol, were unable to travel. Besides, farmers saw crops wither(枯萎). Harvests of soya-beans and sunflower seeds were predicted to fall by between12 and 16 per cent.This was a crisis caused in large part by climate change, says Richard Allan, who is also at the University of Reading.“Warming due to human--aused climate change made this event much more extreme,” he says. Studies suggest that the drought was made at least 20 times more likely by global warming.However, that missing rainfall ends up somewhere, says Peter Gleick at the Pacific Institute in California. This years disastrous floods in countries including Australia and Pakistan are the “flip side” of the droughts, he says. “The droughts and the extreme floods that we are seeing are tied together, and are part and parcel of the broader challenge of climate change,”says Gleick. In the wake of a drought, it is critical that nature gets time to recover. But for Europe, this was the second severe drought in four years. “My grass has already recovered from this summer... but if I had a tree that survived it, that would take 10 years or more to get back to a normal state,” says Niko Wanders at Utrecht University in the Netherlands.28. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning the sound?A. To show the seasonal cycle. B. To describe the beauty of autumn.C. To emphasize the dry weather. D. To clarify trees’ survival mode.29. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?A. The reduction of river water. B. The duration of the drought.C. The causes of various losses. D. The consequences of the disaster.30. Which is probably the best way to tackle climate change according to the text?A. Expanding climate monitoring. B. Improving human behavior.C. Promoting natural restoration. D. Balancing water distribution.31. What is the author's attitude toward the climate change trend in Europe?A. Conservative. B. Unclear. C. Concemed. D. Hopeful.DMost of us would like to be more creative, but we assume there is little we can do about it. Psychology professor K. Anders Ericsson claims that with enough practice, any of us can become experts. However, he is quick to add that this requires a specific kind of practice that Ericsson calls ‘deliberate practice’: that is, pushing beyond one's comfort zone and setting goals that are above one's current level of performance. He says he has yet to find the limits on being successful and he doesn't believe them to be real.Ericsson has looked primarily at artistic and athletic skills, but can these findings apply to creativity? Most experts agree that even if most people cannot hope to become creative geniuses, they can to become more creative through practice. Psychologists claim that there are actually two levels of creativity, which they refer to as ‘Big C’ and ‘small c’. Big C creativity applies to breakthrough ideas, ones that may change the course of a field or even history. Small c creativity refers to everyday creative problem solving, like creating a new recipe or improving a process, which psychologists subdivide further into similar and different thinking. Similar thinking involves examining all the facts and arriving at a single solution. In contrast, different thinking involves coming up with many possible solutions. What most people think of as creativity generally involves different thinking and can be taught, practised and learnt. Even with practice, different thinking alone cannot make one creative, however. Scott Barry Kaufman, a cognitive psychologist, says that most creative people share one personality quality: openness to new experience. Since this quality and these processes have been identified, less creative people can try to emulate them. Normally, we tend to reproduce what we already know because creative ideas move us into unfamiliar territory involving risks and following the usual behaviors is comfortable.Moving outside of our comfort zone, engaging in deliberate practice and tolerating contradictory ideas, risk and failure are all things we can leam to do better.It is unlikely that doing so will transform any of us into creative geniuses, but it does have the potential to increase our level of creativity.32. Why does Ericsson think he can't find the limits?A. No restrictions exist. B. Practice makes perfect.C. Each one can succeed. D. The goal is ambitious.33. Which of the following is an example of ‘small c’?A. Settling in out er space. B. Building a plastic doghouse.C. Developing robots to look after the old. D. Explaining the theory of evolution in class.34. What does the underlined word “emulate” in paragraph 3 mean?A. Justify. B. Limit. C. Copy. D. Assess.35. What message does the author seem to convey in the text?A. We can learn to be more creative. B. Life is full of various challenges.C. It's better to take deliberate practice. D. Most can become creative geniuses.第二节（共5小题:每小题2分,满分12.5分）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Go on a 15-minute TourDidn’t someone say that life is about the jourmey, not the destination? 36 When you are focused only on getting to the next meeting, starting your next class period, or hurrying to send an email, youre missing all of the people between Points A and B.To commit some time to the journey, take some time to walk around where you work and notice your surroundings. 37 Also, some of the smaller yet critical social clues that exist right under your nose will be concentrated on again.38 Things to look for include the look and feel of people’s workspaces, the timing of when different people move around the office, and which people seek interaction versus those who stay at their desks all day.A fer your first observation tour, select a different day to tour your workspace for moods.

Lenna was a recognized athlete in our community. We all expected her to attain a scholarship on one field or another, but she lacked a certain edge to her reasoning. Elsa got along well with everyone who works in the library, but she had the grace (优雅)of a two-legged table. They had found few occasions to relate with one another and grew distant. Had I not lived with them, I would not have known them to be sisters. They did, however, share a drive for success that seemed to become more successful around the same time during senior year. After a track and field season, Lenna was offered full scholarship at a reputable state university near our home, so long as she maintained a 3.0 GPA. Elsa had a more important thing to do: she was one perfect report card away from seizing the chance of making a speech at a graduation ceremony from her opponent, Chet Good weather. At the end of the sixth Wednesday of the fourth marking period, as the sisters unfolded the printed report cards, their smiles turned to tears: Lenna was getting a “D” in science and Elsa was getting a “C” in gym class.Lenna and Elsa came home at the same time and were surprised to find one another disappointed. As they argued with one another about who had suffered the greater misfortune, they realized that the other’s problem sounded easy to solve. Elsa barked, “Your problem isn’t even a problem. I could pass that test casily and I can show you how to as well.” Lenna retorted(反驳),“Well, all you need to do to get an ‘A’s to shorten your mile time to five or ten minutes. Two weeks of training with me and the coach will try to have you on the track team.”The girls exchanged glances and came to a quick agreement.注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。Paragraph1: Every morning for the next two weeks, Lenna woke Elsa up at 4:30 to run. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph2: Final report cards were distributed the Monday before graduation. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
