were driving to Phoenix for the weekend to celebrate his birthday and see the Warriors play the SunsMy husband is a lucky manNot only has he lived to see another birthday, but he doesn't mind driving 200 miles to see an NBA basketball gameIn the car, his cellphone kept ringing with birthday greetings from family and friendsHe put them all on the speakerphone so he could drive with both hands and I could listen in even though it wasn't my birthdayMeanwhile, on the CD player, the Reverend Al Green began to sing Love and HappinessA little good music makes a bad road betterFour hours later, we checked into a hotel, got dinner and sat out on a rooftop feeling glad to be aliveWe had a great weekend we ate too much, slept too little and theWarriors, well, they lostBut still, it was all worth the driveOn the way home, I started thinking about birthdaysIn our family, we celebrate four in January, four in February, and all the others throughout the yearMine is next weekIf I'm lucky, like my husband, I'll get cards and calls and maybe a few videosI don't need presents any moreWhen you've seen as many birthdays as I've seen, the only gift you truly want is to see one moreBirthdays are the mile markers on the road of lifeThey tell us how far we've come, but not how far we've yet to goLife is a journey more than a destinationWhat matters is whom we choose as traveling companions, and how often we get to sit back and enjoy the ride21What helps to make their long drive to Phoenix better?AThe phone calls from their friends BThe beautiful views along the roadCThe music played on their CD player DThe desire to celebrate a nice birthday22What kind of birthday gift does the author really want?AA live NBA game BA wish to live another yearCCalls and cards from friends DVideos from friends and family23What is the major lesson that the author took from the journey?ATaking a long drive is a great way to celebrate a birthdayBA meaningful life is like a journey with a clear destinationCPeople should leam to appreciate life together with their loved onesDPeople shouldn't rest on what they have but try to make new achievements24What could be the best tide for this passage?AA Birthday Journey BMy Lucky HusbandCDriving to See a Basketball Game DMile Markers on the Road of LifeBThe way people in the US travel to and from work has changed a lot in the last fifty years Before the Second World War, most people lived in the town or the city where they worked Almost everyone either walked to work or used a good inexpensive transportation systemMany of these systems were electrified and ran on tracks, so they used very little energyAfter 1945, the US government built many new roads and highwaysPeople moved farther and farther from the cities where they worked because they could drive their cars on these new roads from their suburban homes to work in the citySome of the big car makers also bought the electrified transportation systems and destroyed themAs people stopped using public transportation, cities spent less money fixing old buses and trains or buying new onesPublic transportation got worse and worseIn the late 1960s, people found out that the increase in the use of cars led to many problemsThere were always too many cars for the highway system, and terrible traffic problems developedPeople were spending hours in traffic jams getting to and from work every dayIn addition, the air in many cities became dirty because of pollution from millions of cars, and many people died in traffic accidentsAs people began to get worried about how the use of cars was hurting the environment, cities began to spend more money on public transportation again, so fewer people would have to drive carsWhen gas became very expensive in the mid-1970s, the number of people taking public transportation began to increaseIt's terribly expensive to build new public transportation systems, so it's very difficult to make big changes in the way people travelHowever, an increase in the use of public transportation has begun25Why did some car companies buy and destroy public transportation systems?AThe systems were slower than careBThe systems were too old to be fixedCThey were trying to build better onesDThey wanted to sell more of their products26Why did cities begin to spend more money on public transportation in the late 1960s?ATo change people's way of travelingBTo improve the living conditionsCTo build a new transportation systemDTo control the increasing number of cars27It can be inferred from the passage that the author seems to favor _Agas care Bbuses and trains Cbicycles Delectric carsDo you ever pull your phone out of your pocket, thinking it is vibrating （振动） , only to find that it isn't?This phenomenon, which scientists call " phantom （幻觉的） phone vibration" , is very commonAround 80% of people surveyed say they have imagined their phones vibrating when they were actually stillSo, what leads to this universal behavior? According to the BBC, the explanation lies in your brain's ability to discover signals from the outside worldWhen your phone is in your pocket, there are two possible states: it is either vibrating or notMeanwhile, you also have two possible states of mind: the judgment that the phone is vibrating, or that it isn'tIdeally, you match the four states correctlyHowever, sometimes your brain decides that the consequences of missing a call are more serious than a "false alarm"Therefore, you become more sensitive to vibrations so that you don't miss anythingThis is just like the fire alarm in your home - it can be annoying when it goes off in response to just a tiny bit of smokeBut that's a small price to pay compared to a fire really breaking out because the alarm fails to alert youNow, you might still ask: why can't our brains just make every judgment correctly without being too sensitive to false signals?The answer is that your brain bears a heavy burden every day'* You get a large amount of sensory information that's coming from your eyes, ears and skin, and you can't deal with all that information all the time," Michael Rothberg, a researcher at Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, US, told Live ScienceFor example, the rustling （ 沙沙声） of clothing or the growling （咕咕声） of your stomach may both lead your brain to believe that they come from the vibration of your phone -it is like trying to hear your name being called in a noisy roomSo, perhaps you should just check your phone whenever you think it's vibratingIt's not too much trouble to do that, is it?28According to this passage, phantom phone vibration _Ais common among people with mental problemsBcan measure people's ability to collect informationChappens when our brains react sensitively to false signalsDhelps our brains to make quick and accurate decisions29According to Michael Rothberg, which is mainly responsible for phantom phone vibration?AA noisy background BA lack of much attentionCA heavy burden every day DAn overflow of sensory information30Why is the fire alarm used as an example in this passage?ATo help us understand the cause of phantom phone vibration betterBTo show us the fire alarm is as sensitive as the phone vibrationCTo tell us the phone vibration usually happens when a fire breaks outDTo convince us it's important to check our phones like checking a fire alarm31What does the author suggest we do about phantom phone vibration?AWe should always fully believe our own sense of listeningBWe should just check our phones whenever we think they're vibratingCWe should ignore the vibration bothering when our phones are actually stillDWe should think of the vibration carefully before we make correct judgmentsDIn 2013, a report from The New England Journal of Medicine showed that increased body weight is related to the death rate for all cancersThis is based on a study involving about 900,000 people, spanning many yearsThe study, started in 1992 by the American Cancer Society, included men and women from all 50 statesThe youngest participants were 30 years old, and the average age was 57By December 2008, 24% of the participants had died, just a quarter of them from cancersIn analyzing the results, researchers attempted to take account of such potential factors as smoking, drinking alcohol, taking aspirin and a wide variety of other factors that might otherwise affect the resultsThe results are clear: the more you weigh, the greater your risk of dying of cancer will be （ up to 52% higher for men and 62% for women）In men as well as women, the only cancers that did not have a strong connection "with weight were lung cancer and brain cancerFor women, the strongest correlation with weight was uterine cancer （子宫癌） , which is 65 times higher for women with a BMI （ Body Mass Index） of 40 or moreFor men, it was liver cancer, which is 45 times higher in most obese （肥胖的 ） menSmokers tend to be more successful in keeping weight off than non-smokers, slightly reducing the riskBut many of them don't have good lungsThus, in another way, they also face risksAs for why extra weight leads to excess cancer death rate, there's no clear agreementBut the decrease in vitamin D in obese people seems a likely factorVitamin D is known to have a role in preventing cancerAlso, there is a simple fact that obesity makes the management of cancer more difficultAlthough for now there is no simple answer to why obesity increases a person's cancer risk, all we know for certain is that the risk is real32The passage is mainly concerned with the relationship between _Adiet and cancer Bbody weight and cancerCsex and cancer Dsmoking and cancer33The author develops the passage mainly through _Atime order Bspace orderCanalysis and comparison Dfigures and examples34The underlined word "spanning" in the first paragraph probably means "_"Alasting Bincluding Chappening Dchanging35According to the passage, what can we learn about the study?AThere is a clear explanation concerning why obesity leads to more cancersBGenerally speaking, women face fewer risks of dying of cancer than menCWomen with a BMI of 40 dying of uterine cancer are more than other womenDSmokers are still likely to face risks of dying of cancer though keeping weight off第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上涂黑。Although different universities in the US have different admissions policies, moat determine admission based on several standards, including a student's high school course of study, high school Grade Point Average ( GPA), participation in activities, SAT or ACT exam scores, a written essay, and possibly a personal interview.The university admissions office considers whether a student has taken courses in high school that have prepared him or her for more difficult coursework. A student's high school GPA is also considered. 36 Each letter grade is assigned a number of points: A = 4 points, B = 3, C = 2, D = 1 and F = 0 point. A GPA is calculated by adding all of the points earned for each course grade and dividing the total points by the total number of courses taken. 37Universities prefer to see applications from high school students who have engaged in acti
