A stunt (特技表演)person is a man or woman who does all the dangerous bits of acting work in films or on TV. This can be anything from a simple fall into a swimming pool, or walking off the top of a tall building. It sounds like a job that you would have to be made to try, but there are actually lots of people who want to do it. Sarah France, twenty-four, is one of Britains sixteen professional stunt women -there are one hundred and sixty stunt men in the country. We asked Sarah how she came to be a stunt woman. “When I was young I was trained to be a dancer, and for seven years after school I was hardly out of work. A dancers life is pretty short, though, and my father suggested I should think about doing stunt work after Id given up dancing. I thought about it for the next two years and decided to have a go. For six months, I worked really hard every day. I had to learn different skills-swimming, jumping, horse -riding, etc.” Sarah finished the course in just five months and applied to the office which decides whether youre accepted as a professional stunt person or not. Two weeks after she was accepted, Sarah was throwing off the Great Wall of China in Superman IV. “I was very lucky to get work so quickly. I had a small part, playing a traveler who fell off the Wall after an earthquake. The travelers life was saved by Superman, of course! Actually, I fell forty-five feet into a pile of cardboard boxes! You cant use anything softer than that or you will be brought back into view of the cinema. Instead you just have to learn to fall properly. Its quite dangerous but I enjoy it.”24.Quite a number of people want to do dangerous acts in films because_.Athey are mad Bthey dont think them dangerousCno training is needed Dthey can earn much money25Sarah gave up dancing because_.A.her father persuaded her to do stunt work B.she could not go on dancing foreverC.she had to work hard every day D.she was often out of work26Soon after Sarah got her new job as a stunt person, _.Aan earthquake took place near the Great WallBshe fell off the Great Wall and hurt herselfCshe was asked to act in Superman IVDshe learned how to fall properly27The purpose of the first sentence of the passage is to _.Adraw the readers attention to the whole passage Binvite you to try jumping off the Great Wall for money Cask you to be a stunt personDraise a question for the readers to think aboutCResearchers at the University of Kansas say that people can accurately judge 90 percent of a strangers personality simply by looking at the persons shoes.“Shoes convey a thin but useful slice of information about their wearers,” the authors wrote in the new study published in the Journal of Research in Personality. “Shoes serve a practical purpose, and also serve as nonverbal indications with symbolic messages. People tend to pay attention to the shoes they and others wear.”Medical Daily notes that the number of detailed personality traits detected in the study include a persons general age, their gender, income, political affiliation(派別), and other personality characteristics, including someones emotional stability.Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgments were based on the style, cost, color and condition of someones shoes. In the study, 63 University of Kansas students looked at pictures showing 208 different pairs of shoes worn by the studys participants. Volunteers in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes, and then filled out a personality questionnaire.So, what do your shoes say about your personality?Some of the results were expected: People with higher incomes most commonly wore expensive shoes, and flashier footwear was typically worn by extroverts(外向者).However, some of the more specific results are interesting. For example, “practical and functional” shoes were generally worn by more “agreeable” people, while ankle boots were more closely aligned with “aggressive” personalities.The strangest of all may be that those who wore “uncomfortable looking” shoes tend to have “calm” personalities.And if you have several pairs of new shoes or take exceptional care of them, you may suffer from “attachment anxiety”, spending a large amount of time worrying about what other people think of your appearance. There was even a political calculation in the mix with more liberal types wearing “shabbier and less expensive” shoes.The researchers noted that some people will choose shoe styles to mask their actual personality traits, but researchers noted that volunteers were also likely to be unaware that their footwear choices were revealing deep insights into their personalities.28We can infer from Paragraph 2 that_.Ashoes are vital to their wearersBa practical purpose is to wear shoesCpeople want to buy new shoes they pay attention toDshoes may give away their wearers information29Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?APeople with high incomes probably wear expensive shoes.BAnkle boots are closely aligned with “aggressive” personalitiesCPeople wearing “uncomfortable looking” shoes tend to be calmDPeople who wear practical and functional shoes may be hard to deal with30The underlined word “attachment anxiety”, probably means _.AAttached happiness to ones personality.BFeeling always worried about everything.COften feeling worried about his or her appearance.DWasting an inordinate amount of time.31Which might be the best title for the passage?ABad Shoes, Bad Personality.

The reason for most foot pain is that shoes fit poorly or force the feet into unnatural shapes. 36 Aside from carefully selecting the right shoes, there are some easy measures you can take to keep foot pain at bay.1. Stretch Your ShoesIf your feet are rubbing against your shoes, this could indicate that you need more width, length or both. However, sometimes going to the next larger size is not an option, as the next size may be too large. 372. Using Shoe InsertsBoth podiatrists（足病醫(yī)生）and those in the shoe repair industry often recommend inserts to increase shoe comfort. 38Determining the best insert for your shoes depends on what hurts.3. 39The way you lace（用帶子系緊）your shoes can make a world of difference in their comfort. Lacing them too tightly or incorrectly can make your feet hurt. Cramped toes, rubbing on the top of the foot, and pressure on the big toe can likely be relieved if you lace your shoes differently.4. Wearing Socks40They are usually made of cotton or nylon. Not only do they add an extra layer of cushion to your shoes but they also keep your feet from sweating. This prevents moisture（水汽）from forming in the shoes. Moisture in your shoes can cause blisters and calluses on your feet.AAdjusting Shoe LacesBBuy Shoes without Shoe LacesCThere are a lot of shoe inserts to choose fromDTherefore, you need to know the size of the shoes that are fit for your feetE. In fact, ill-fitting shoes are a top cause of foot painF. Socks are of great help to add more comfort to your shoesG. In this case stretching the shoes may be a good solution第三部分：語言知識運用（共兩節(jié)，滿分45分）第一節(jié)：完形填空（共20小題；每小題1.5分，滿分30分）閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項。There was a woman named Japan Atsuko Saeki living in the city of FujisawaWhen she was a teenager, she 41 of going to the United StatesMost of what she knew about American 42 was from the textbooks she had read“I had a 43 in mind: Daddy watching TV in the living-room, Mummy 44 cakes and their teenage daughter off to the cinema with her boyfriend”Atsuko 45 to attend college in California.When she arrived, however, she found it was not her 46 world“People were struggling with problems and often seemed 47 ” she said“I felt very alone”O(jiān)ne of her hardest 48 was physical education.“We played volleyball,” she said“The other students were 49 it, but I wasnt”O(jiān)ne afternoon, the instructor asked Atsuko to 50 the ball to her teammates so they could knock it 51 the net.No problem for most people, but it terrified Atsuko.She was afraid of losing face 52 she failedA young man on her team 53 what she was going through“He walked up to me and 54 Come on.You can do that.”“You will never understand how those words of 55 made me feelFour words: You can do thatI felt like crying with happiness.”She made it through the class.Perhaps she thanked the young man; she is not 56 Six years have passed.Atsuko is back in Japan, working as a salesclerk“I have 57 forgotten the words,” she said“When things are not going so well, I think of them”She is sure the young man had no idea how much his kindness 58 to her. “He probably doesnt even remember it,” she said.That may be the lesson.Whenever you say something to a person cruel or kindyou have no idea how long the words will 59 .Shes all the way over in Japan, but still she hears those four 60 words: You can do that41AlearnedBdreamedCspokenDheard42ApictureBeducationClifeDspirit43AphotoBpaintingCwayDdrawing44AfryingBbakingCsteamingDboiling45AhopedBattemptedClikedDarranged46AdescribedBcreatedCimaginedDdiscovered47AtenseBcheerfulCrelaxedDdeserted48AclassesBquestionsCtimesDprojects49.
