5.Questions 20 to 23 are based on the following passage. Traveling to another country where you know no one can be very challenging and frustrating. It’s even worse if you don’t know the language. When I had the opportunity to go to the United States to learn English, I realized how ignorant I was and how difficult a new life could be. It was very challenging for me to get used to the language and the way people lived. On my first day of school, while entering the classroom, Mr. Erickson asked me, “What’s your name?” Very quietly and shy I replied, “Yes.”The classroom filled up with laugher. I was confused but soon I understood. It was difficult for me to get used to the accent. Whenever I wanted to ask or say something in English, the students should start laughing and making fun of me. I had trouble in school because I barely received help from my teachers and classmates. I would cry myself to sleep for almost one year.All I wanted to do was go back to Mexico because I just couldn ’t deal with things anymore. I hated school so bad. However, throughout the years I started to improve. My writing skills increased, my pronunciation was clearer, and my grades got better. I felt so proud of myself and of what I had accomplished. My ignorance decreased by a lot. Coming here made me a better person because now I know much more. It’s difficult at the beginning of the journey but throughout time you see how things will get better sooner or later. I didn’t give up; instead I kept on trying for my parents and for myself. I wouldn’t change anything that happened to me because I believe that everything happens for a reason. Thanks to everything, I’m standing where I am. 20.

B.Their complaints should be forbidden in the office

11.What did the dentist use to do with the elderly complainer?

A.To complain together with him
B.To persuade him to stop talking

D.To ask him questions about his life

9.Questions 24 to 27 are based on the following passage. Are there any chronic (長期的) complainers where you work? It seems like every workplace has them —the people for whom the weather is always too warm or too cold, the food is bad, the work is dull, and so on. No matter how good things get, they still only see the bad. They go to huge lengths to point it out to everyone around them. I’m not saying we should forbid complaining, but workplaces need to do something about the chronic complainers because they tend to make people around them unhappy at work. It ’s a fact that negative people are highly contagious (傳染的) and one chronic complainer can easily get an entire department down. We try many different strategies to deal with complainers. But most of the strategies we normally use on complainers don’t help and often make matters worse. So what does work? Here’s a simple but very effective trick. A friend of mine who’s a dentist told me about an elderly complainer who was a patient of hers. Every time he came in for an appointment, he ’d complain. My friend is a naturally happy person and would try to cheer him up. But it didn’t work and just made him complain even more. So I taught her this trick, and the next time he came in for an appointment she was ready. He sat on the chair, and immediately started complaining. After listening to his usual complaints for a while, my dentist friend said, with deep sympathy in her voice, “You know, that sounds terrible. I don’t know how you deal with all of these problems.” You know what he said? “Well, well, it’s not THAT bad!” This approach works because it gives the complainer what he’s really after: understanding of what is, for him, a difficult situation. 24. Chronic complainers are those who _____.

A.usually express feelings of dissatisfaction
B.tend to see the good side of everything
C.like to talk with anyone about weather
D.often share their feelings about others

12.What does a complainer hope to get by making complaints to others?

A.Advice on how to become a happy person
B.Suggestions to stay away from problems
C.Medical help and treatment
D.Others’understanding and sympathy

13.Questions 28 to 31 are based on the following passage. A tree growing in a remote area of southeastern Guinea was once home to thousands of bats. A year ago, a two-year-old boy who lived within meters of the tree died in December 2013 and later was identified as the first person in West Africa to have developed Ebola. The question now troubles researchers; were the tree’s occupants the cause of that boy’s virus in the first place? Yet they will never know the answer. By March 2014, that tree was burnt down. Thousands of dead bats rained down on the village, but all researchers were left with were fragments of bat DNA. The fire spoiled the researcher’s plans since no Ebola genetic information could be gathered from the remains of burnt bats. And, Making matters worse, the same bat species had totally disappeared in the area. The research team also gathered other bat species from the area, but found those were all Ebola-free. The work from researchers fails to pinpoint the bat species that may be behind Ebola, but it does shed light on other facts around the disease. They have found it unlikely that primates ( 靈長 目動物) were behind this outbreak. In that small village there were no large animals to be hunted and any meat consumed there was packaged and sent there from elsewhere. Those observations suggest there was no outbreak among the local primates of a deadly disease like Ebola. Beyond primates and bats, however, there still could have been another creature causing the outbreak that researchers may not have even thought of. So for now, the mystery remains. 28. A two-year-old-boy died in December 2013 because _____.

A.he got a bat’s virus
B.he was attacked by bats
C.he was infected with Ebola
D.he fell off the tree with bats

15.What does the word pinpoint (Para.4) probably mean?

B.Reach
C.Match
D.Find out
E.Set out

14.What happened to the bats living in the tree?

A.They were killed by Ebola virus
B.They died out after a rain in the village
C.They were burnt to death with the tree
D.They were examined by the researchers

16.What species might be carrying Ebola according to the passage?

A.Primates of West Africa
B.Bats in the tree
C.Other bats in Guinea
D.Still unknown

17.Questions 32 to 35 are based on the following passage. When you take a pill, you and your doctor hope it will work —and that helps it work. That’s not a new idea. But now researchers say they know just how much of a drug’s effect comes from the patient’s expectation: at least half. When patients in the midst of a headache attack took a dummy ( 假的) pill which they thought of as a widely used headache drug, it reduced their pain. It worked almost as much as when they took the real drug thinking it was a placebo (安慰劑). “There was no difference between the real drug and the placebo dressed up with a nice word in reducing pain,”researcher Ted Kaptchuk says. “Basically we show that words can actually double the effect of a drug. That’s pretty impressive.” And if it works when treating headaches, it also might work for a wide variety of other illnesses. The findings have interesting implications for doctors and patients, because what doctors say about a medicine appears to have a lot to do with its benefits. Beyond that, it raises a question of whether drug companies should take subjects’expectations into account when they test a new drug. The study is the latest in a series that’s helping to work out the mysteries of the placebo effect. Before the study, the group has already shown that placebos can have the effect of active medicine in patients with asthma (哮喘), and that even when patients know they’re taking a placebo, they can get relief from the pain. 32. According to the first two paragraphs, what’s new of the research is that _____.

A.half of the drug’s effect, if not more, is from the patients’expectations
B.dummy pills could be thought of as a widely used headache drug
C.your and your doctor’s hope helps the drug work
D.placebos work better than real drugs

18.Placebos can have the effect of active medicine in reducing pains when doctors _____.

A.conduct tests on the effect of new drugs
B.take the patient’s expectations into account
C.tell patients that placebos are mysterious
D.describe the placebos’good effect to patients

20.It has been proved that placebos have the effect of active medicine in treating asthma _____.

A.before Ted’s research
B.after Ted’s research
C.during the process of the Ted’s research
D.upon the completion of Ted’s research

19.According to the passage, the findings have interesting implications in that _____.

A.what doctors say about a medicine seems much related to its benefits
B.the researchers have worked out all the mysteries of the placebo effect
C.drug companies should believe the subjects in drug test
D.placebos might help in treating all illnesses
