It was the simplest of moments. I had just raised the curtains in our living room, and was
struck by the views of Central Park, bathed in the morning light. The Park is always
wonderful-it’s one of the reasons why Phil and I chose this apartment when we were looking
for a place to live when we moved to the new city. But on this particular day the park was
especially breathtaking, her deep green leaves gently waving as if to say good morning to
me.
“I am so grateful for this amazing view,” I said to Phil, who as sitting on the sofa reading
the newspaper. “It really is a gift, you know?” And that got me thinking about how important
it is to be grateful for the things we have in our lives, and not cry out for what we don’t have.
I am thankful for so many everyday gifts that are finely woven into my life like my loving
life partner, good friends, inspiring work, a close, caring family, smart colleagues, good
health and lots of laughter. And, yes, a great view of Central Park.
Robert Louis Stevenson once wrote, “Keep your eyes open to your mercies. The man
who forgets to be thankful has fallen asleep in life.”-and I truly believe that. When we live
life too fast to stop and acknowledge our daily gifts; when we let those moments slip by
without embracing them in true thankfulness, we’re missing out on how blessed we are.
Some may wonder why I’m writing this nearly two months after Thanksgiving, but maybe
that’s the point: why designate just one day a year to express our gratitude when there is
really so much to be thankful for every day?
24. The first paragraph serves as a (n) ________.
A. background B. explanation C. comment D. introduction

enthusiastically
C.
Researchers are using the polio virus (脊髓灰质炎病毒) to fight cancer cells in the
brain.
A team at Duke University is using a polio virus to infect tumor cells. It triggers an
immune response that lasts for several months. The tumor goes away permanently.
Dr. Matthias Gromeier began clinical trials more than three years ago. So far, 12 of 20
patients with a type of brain tumor called glioblastoma have responded well to the treatment.
Gromeier said these patients had no chance of survival before the treatment. He added, “If
you look at them today, you would not know they were cancer patients.”
This may seem like a miracle cure. But Gromeier pointed out that the approach has
limits. It causes a toxic (有毒的) reaction that can cause brain swelling. This causes other
side effects like muscle weakness and paralysis, seizures (突然发作), limb swelling and
tingling (刺痛), speech impairment (损伤) and headaches.
Still, Gromeier said, “I am optimistic that we have identified the right dose and to use
our virus right way to get an immune response strong enough to fight the tumor, but not so
strong to harm the patient.” He called immunotherapy “the most exciting and most
promising development in cancer research.” He said it would one day transform the way
tumors are treated.
Glioblastomas, the most common and deadly of all brain cancers, affect an estimated
240,000 people around the world per year.
28. According to the text, the side effects of using a polio virus to infect tumor cells
include ________.
a. brain swelling
b. hearing impairment
c. headaches
d. seizure
e. blindness
f. limb swelling and tingling
A. a, b, c, d B. b, c, d, f C. a, c, d, e D. a, c, d, f
29. The underlined word “triggers” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to
________.
A. A. sets off B. cuts off C. builds up D. breaks up
30. The third paragraph mainly tells us that ________.
A. when Dr. Matthias Gromeier began the clinical trials
B. how many patients have benefited from the treatment
C. the effective result of the treatment

Their wealth, fame and power put their heads and shoulders above us ordinary.
But according to these celebrities, true happiness lies in some of life’s simpler
pleasures.
David Cameron, Ed Miliband and Nigel Farage all claim that their families are the
key to their well-being. But others gave unexpected brief ideas about their celebrity
(名人) lives. The Dutchess of York Sarah Fertguson, 55, revealed that what most
keeps her spirits high was a belief in magic and fairies. She said, “I do believe in
fairies. I do believe magic and when you blow a dandelion (蒲公英) , you will see the
light of the enchanted (施过魔法的) spreading their wings and disappearing on their
own journeys, just like you have today when you opened your eyes. Don’t let the day
go by without looking for fairies and magic. That makes me happy, as every day is.”
Meanwhile, former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney revealed that he got his pleasure
through his stomach as well as his family. He said, “I love to hear the noises in the
kitchen as the meal is prepared and then my little grandson climbs on my knee and
requests a bite for every bite I take.”
Food was also key to Strictly Come Dancing《舞动奇迹》judge Len Goodman,
who said eating a bacon sandwich was enough to put a smile on his face, while rocker
(摇滚歌手) Rod Stewart, claimed that a simple cup of tea made him uncontrollably
happy.
For our most gifted sports stars, however, it seems that the key to the good life is a
faithful dog. Tennis champion Andy Murray said he badly missed Rusty and Maggie
May when he was playing in tournaments around the world. Former England striker
Gary Lineker agreed, saying, “Walking my dog makes me happy.” The joy at the word
“walkies” never decreases. Such enthusiasm for something so simple is satisfying.
32. What is the function of the first paragraph?
A. To inform us what true happiness means.
B. To bring in the topic to be discussed.
C. To explain to us where we can get true happiness.
D. To tell us that celebrities are different from the ordinary.
33. According to the text, who claim that “FOOD” is the key to their pleasure?

A. judges B. dogs C. fairies D. dandelions
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

real world, often indicate possible frauds. Ensure the site is easy to use, designed well and
looks professional. An amateur’s site will often look cluttered(凌乱的). 36 You can

number. Reputable (信誉良好的) online shops will always provide concise (简明的) contact
information, which includes a physical address and a phone number. 37 Do not buy
online if you are unsure that the shop is real.

account of the delivery charge and the VAT - these are often not included in the overall price.

physical shops in convenience. But there is a disadvantage of being unable to physically
touch the products. so the greater the refund policy period the better. If there is no refund
policy, the best advice is to stay away.

purchase. Check the companies Privacy Policy (which is usually located at the bottom of the

We live in a sweet world. The average American kid consumes more than 20 teaspoons
of sugar per day, and adults eat 50% 61 (much) sugar today than they did in the 1970s.
Sugar is found not only in sweets and candies, 62 also in many household items like

pasta (意大利面食) and crackers (薄脆饼干).
We all know that too much sugar isn’t good for you. But did we know it could be 63
(harm)? A team of 64 (researcher) at the University of Utah used mice to conduct a
study on the negative effects of sugar. They found it could have serious effects 65
people’s health.
Scientists often use mice for research because they have a similar genetic (基因)
structure to humans. “Since most substances 66 are dangerous in mice are also
dangerous in people, it’s likely that those physical problems that cause those mice to have
increased deaths also work in people,” says study author James Ruff of the University of
Utah. 67 (find) from this study reveal negative effects that are not as noticeable as
weight gain or heart problems. Sugar can contribute to long-term changes in the body that
can change development and even 68 (short) lives.
Cutting sugar out of the American diet altogether may be difficult. But making the effort
69 (control) our nation’s sugar desire will provide for a 70 (true) sweeter future.
