Grand Canyon National ParkBI was in my first year of college, making friends and enjoying life, but then my whole world

19、turned upside down. I had a heart attack. It felt like someone was stabbing(刺) me in the chest with a knife over and over again.After three months of rest I went back to college, but then things took a turn for the worse. I was staying at my Nanas house and woke up in the middle of the night with a

20、terrible pain in my chest. I knew I was having a heart attack again.I couldnt even shout for help. Luckily my grandpa was going to the toilet and heard me falling out of bed. If it wasnt for him, I probably wouldnt be here.The two holes in my heart were causing the problems and I needed an operation

21、 immediately to repair them. Unfortunately, the surgery didnt go well and they only managed to repair one of the holes.When I woke up from the operation, I had a really dry mouth and couldnt wait to have something to eat and drink. The biggest shock of all came when I was told that I needed a heart

22、transplant and was put on the register. The doctors were stunned(吃驚地) at how quickly heart failure came onit usually takes years, but it took my heart less than six months to get to that stage.

29、ype of beetle has found a special way of surviving. When the morning arrives, the Namib Beetle collects water drops on its bumpy(起伏不平的) back, then lets the water roll down into its mouth, allowing it to drink in an area without flowing water.Shreerang Chhatre wants to use what nature has developed t

30、o help the worlds poor. Chhatre is an engineer at MIT who works on fog harvesting, the equipment that, like the beetle, attracts water drops. This way, poor villagers could collect clean water near their homes, instead of spending hours carrying water from distant wells or rivers.Access to water is

31、a serious global issue. According to the World Health Organization and UNICEF, nearly 900 million people worldwide live without safe drinking water. The burden of finding and transporting water falls heavily on women and children. “As a middle-class person, I think its terrible that the poor have to

32、 spend hours a day walking just to obtain a basic necessity, Chhatre says.A fog-harvesting machine consists of a fence-like mesh panel(網(wǎng)狀面板), which attracts drops, connected to containers into which water falls. Chhatre has improved the materials used in these machines. He is continuing his work at

33、MIT Sloan and the Legaturn Center in order to develop a workable business plan for applying fog-harvesting machines.Interest in fog harvesting dates back to the 1990s, and has increased since new research on the Namib Beetle became famous in 2001. A few technologists saw potential in the concept for

34、 people. One Canadian charitable organization, FogQuest, has tested projects in Chile and Guatemala.But fog harvesting remains in its childhood, technologically and commercially, as Chhatre readily recognizes. “It still faces some open problems, he says. “But its a work in progress. After all, the w

35、ater that fills our rivers and lakes comes from air.28. Which of the following is TRUE of Shreerang Chhatre?A. He is an African engineer.B. He is researching on the Namib Beetle.C.

36、amib Beetle mentioned in the passage?A. To describe the severe conditions in Namib Desert. B. To introduce the diversity of species in Namib Desert. C.

37、ned word “it in the last paragraph refers to _.A. UNICEF B. the beetle C. fog harvesting D. a Canadian charitable organization31. The authors main purpose in writing the text is to _.

38、ne for collecting water from air D. inform people of the serious water problem in AfricaDIn modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress andprosperity(繁榮). Others say that competition is bad; that it se

39、ts one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their sin

40、gle-minded pursuitof success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culturewhich only values the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame c

41、ompetition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an ex

42、cuse: “I may have lost, but it doesnt matter because I really didnt try. What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot.Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of true competitors

43、who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that ones self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to disappearcan we discover a new meaning in competition.32.

44、Why do some people favor competition according to the passage?A. It pushes society forward. B. It builds up a sense of duty.C. It improves personal abilities. D. It encourages individual efforts.33. The underlined phrase “the most vocal in paragraph 3 means_.A. those who try their best to winB. thos

45、e who value competition most highlyC. those who are against competition most strongly D. those who rely on others most for success34. What is the similar belief of the true competition and those with a “desire to fail? A. Ones worth lies in his performance compared with others. B. Ones success in co

46、mpetition needs great efforts. C. Ones achievement is determined by his particular skills. D. Ones success is based on how hard he has tried.35. Which point of view may the author agree to? A. Every effort should be paid back. B. Competition should be encouraged. C. Winning should be a life-and-deat

47、h matter. D. Fear of failure should be removed in competition.第二節(jié)共5小題；每題2分，總分值10分根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最正確選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。If something that youre doing doesnt challenge you, then it doesnt change you.
