B
Everyone knew I wanted to be an astronaut. Most people knew that I was also fascinated (迷住) by basket ball, and I just assumed that if I wanted to be in the NBA, I could. Few people knew that I read every John Grisham novel starting from the age of 12 and wanted to be a lawyer.
As a young girl, I used to see Space Camp, the movie shown just after the Challenger Space Shuttle disaster. Every time I watched it, I got lost in my imagination. I was Katherine, the lead character who wanted to be the first female space shuttle commander. I had a robot friend named Jinx who could cause a major failure and send me into space. Because of that movie, I decided to become an astronaut.
All these Hollywood shows have an opportunity to inflence kids. I am the living proof that young kids watch the products of Hollywood and are inspired by them or turned away by them. It's a serious responsibility.
Even as an adult today, my interests change much more quickly than I wish they did. I am truly addicted to trying new things! But I am proud of myself for trying. I hope I never lose that desire—to try. After all, my greatest achievement isn't actually achieving the fial goal but rather that I at least tried.
To my joy, I was selected for an interview in the 2013 astronaut selection. I didn't actually get selected as an astronaut that year, but the experience alone was enough to inspire me never to give up. In the end, if I never make it into space to witness the beauty of this planet with my own eyes, at least I can say I have tried.
24. Who was Katherine according to Paragraph 2?
A. The author herself.
B. A female astronaut.
C. A character of a movie.
D. An astronaut of the Challenger.
25. What did the author think of Hollywood movies about exploring space?
A. They are good scientifi movies.
B. They have a deep effect on children.
C. They are made to select new astronauts.
D. They frighten children away from space.
26. Why does the author take great pride in herself?
A. She keeps attempting.
B. She has many dreams.
C. She never loses heart.
D. She achieved her fial goal.
27. What can be concluded from the last paragraph?
A. The author was satisfid with the interview.
B. The author gave up the career as an astronaut.
C. The author still stuck to her astronaut dream.
D. The author felt sorry for her failure in the selection.

In the United States, Mothers Day falls on the second Sunday in May. It was back in 1908 when a woman named Anna Jarvis created this unofficial holiday to honor mothers. Traditionally, children and husbands honor mothers of all ages by buying flowers, cards and other gifts or taking them to dinner in a nice restaurant. But today, we will talk about some expressions that use the word "mother", instead.
Some cultures believe Mother Earth gave birth to everything that exists on our planet. In Greek mythology, a goddess named Gaia was the great mother of all. She was said to have created the Earth and the Universe. Mother Nature is a little different. This term relates to the natural world as if it were a woman.
The mother lode(矿脉) comes from mining. It means a place where the largest amount of gold, silver, or anything else of value can be found. But now, the term mother lode means a rich supply of anything. We often use the word "strike" with this expression. For example, you might say, "She just graduated from college and struck the mother lode with her new job!"
When we call something "the mother of all", it means it is the biggest or best of something. Here is an example: We are going to throw the mother of all parties this weekend. So you'd better come on time!
You might think all expressions about mothers are sweet and loving. Not so. For example, a boy who is "tied to his mother's apron strings" is controlled by his mother. We can also call him a "mama's boy". Both of these terms are even more impolite, especially if you are talking about an adult man.
28. How does the author explain Mother Earth?
A. By making a comparison.
B. By telling a historical story.
C. By introducing a Greek myth.
D. By analyzing different words.
29. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. She could find something valuable.
B. She earned quite a lot from her new job.
C. She was trying her best to do her job.
D. She was busy with her work every day.
30. Which of the following has a negative meaning according to the text?
A. Mother Nature.
B. The mother lode.
C. The mother of all.
D. Tied to his mother's apron strings.
31. What does the text mainly tell us?
A. The history of Mothers Day.
B. The legendary life of Anna Jarvis.
C. Tips on gifts for mother's Day.
D. Different meanings of mother expressions.

D
It is a popular Internet thing to focus on the upside of being in your 30s, and it is nice to know how to do basic modern-human-being things like paying your taxes and cooking a simple meal. But it can be a less-encouraging story at work: People in their late 20s to early 40s tend to report lower levels of job satisfaction and higher levels of emotional exhaustion than other age groups, according to new research.
There's an obvious reason: These tend to be the ages when people have young children at home, and the researchers did find that this group reported feeling increasingly crunched for time. But adding to that pressure, coworker support also tends to decline at this age. Some researchers interpret the findings:
Support from co-workers probably decreases in midlife as peers compete for limited resource (promotion bottlenecks are often encountered during this career stage). Also, whereas younger co-workers are often hungry to make up new social networks, and older workers seek identity-affirming (确认) work experiences in their remaining tenure (任期), midlifers find it demanding enough just to maintain existing social networks. Meanwhile, time pressure likely increases as colleagues are all trying to enrich their own knowledge and experience.
But the good news is that after about a decade of struggle, things start to pick back up again. Occupational psychologists say that happiness at work recovers when people reach their 40s, and that people in their 50s are more satisfied with their jobs than any other age group. Hang in there, 30-somethings-soon you will be older, but at least work will meet less frustration (挫折)!
32. What can we learn about people in their 30s according to the text?
A. They may feel more pressured at work.
B. They are more satisfied with their work.
C. They tend to feel less emotionally exhausted.
D. They don’t know how to do basic modern-human-being things.
33. Which of the following can replace the underlined word "crunched" in Paragraph 2?
A. encouraged
B. pressed
C. relaxed
D. satisfied
34. Why do people in their late 20s to early 40s have less support from co-workers?
A. Because they have a family to support.
B. Because they are eager to form new social networks.
C. Because they try to seek identity-affirming work experiences.
D. Because they are faced with strong competition in promotion.
35. What would be the best title of the text?
A. Job satisfaction and ages
B. Why people are dissatisfied with work
C. Tips on improving your job satisfaction
D. Work is worst when you are in your 30s

Reading comprehension is an important skill to master for academic success. Many students have difficulty in understanding the point of a story and remembering what a story is about—the basics of this task. Luckily, by following some basic tips, you can improve at reading comprehension
Work on your vocabulary. Keep up on vocabulary lessons in school, and look up definitions of words when you read to master as many words as you can. 36
Read with your mind, eyes and lips. 37 Just reading with your mind could mean you're not paying enough attention. You don't have to read aloud for reading comprehension, but go over each word with your eyes at least.
38 To understand what a paragraph is saying, you can often look through the first sentence. This should tell you the point of the paragraph, and the rest should be supplemental (附加的) information. Look at the last sentence to complete the idea.
Identify the structure of the story to know what to look for in analyzing it. Some stories are written in the order of time. Others start from the point of the future and backtrack(倒叙). Still others are about proving the point of a thesis with examples. 39
Try to predict what's going to happen next. Reading actively promotes reading comprehension. 40 This will help you remember the details after you've finished.
A. Be aware of the function of paragraphs.
B. Concentrate on the meaning of words when reading aloud.
C. The larger vocabulary you have, the easier reading comprehension will be.
D. While reading, guess which way the story is going or how the story will end up.
E. Reading with your eyes and lips helps you remember what you've read.
F. Figure out what kind of structure you're looking at to understand the story better.
G. If you can understand the writer’s purpose between the lines, you're doing a good job.
