15、om scratch. It sounds next to impossible, doesnt it? Yet that is exactly what one man did- a man named Sequoyah. Born around 1770 in Tennessee, Sequoyah was a Cherokee（切罗基人）. Like otherNative Americans of that time, he could neither read nor write. He couldnt help noticing, though, how white people
16、wrote to one another on sheets of paper. They often used these “talking leaves” as some Native Americans called them, to communicate. Back then, the Cherokee had no way to write down words in their own language. Sequoyah believed it was important for the Cherokee to have a system of writing. So, in
17、1809, he set out to create an alphabet that the Cherokee could use to do just that.Sequoyah started by drawing pictures, with each one representing a different word or idea. He soon realized that writings using pictures would be much too difficult. There were too many words. No one would ever be abl
18、e to remember that many pictures. Sequoyah decided to try a different method. He began to develop symbols to stand for the sounds, or syllables(音节), that made up words. Twelve years later, he completed a system of writing 86 different symbols. Each one stood for a different syllable in the Cherokee
19、language. The symbols could easily be put together to form words. Soon thousands of Cherokee were able to read and write in their own language. Sequoyahs work did not stop there, however. He helped to found a print shop and began publishing a bilingual newspaper in both Cherokee and English. The sho
20、p also printed books translated from English into Cherokee. In later years, Sequoyah also became a political leader among the Cherokee. Sequoyah died in 1843, but many Cherokee of today still use the alphabet he invented. Thanks to him, the Cherokee now have a written history that will never be forg
21、otten. In honor of his achievements, Sequoyahs name was given to the giant redwood trees of California and the Sequoia National Park. The name of Sequoyah will never be forgotten either. 14. The underlined words “talking leaves ” in paragraph 2 refer to _. A. talking under a big tree C. using tree l
22、eaves to make sounds C. sheets of paper with words on them D. Native Americans communication skills15. Sequoyah is best remembered for _. A. inventing a written language for the Cherokee B. being able to read or write like white people C. drawing pictures to represent words or ideas D. introducing w
23、hite peoples writing system to the Cherokee16. What did Sequoyah do just after he completed the set of symbols for the Cherokee language? A. He became a political leader B. He began growing big redwood trees.C. He drew pictures to represent words and ideas.D. He helped to start a printing press and
24、a newspaper.17. Why was Sequoyahs contribution important to the Cherokee? A. It helped to build a national park. B. The Cherokee never used pictures any longer. C. It enabled the Cherokee to record their own history. D. The Cherokee could communicate with white people. C“What do you want to be when
25、you grow up?” When I was a kid, I feared the question. Adults always seemed terribly disappointed that I wasnt dreaming of becoming something grand or heroic, like a filmmaker or an astronaut.Now, as an organizational psychologist, my job is to fix other peoples jobs, and Ive become convinced that a
26、sking youngsters what they want to be does them a disservice.My first beef with the question is that it forces kids to define themselves in terms of work. When youre asked what you want to be when you grow up, its not socially acceptable to say, “A father”, or, “A mother”, let alone, “A person of in
27、tegrity（完整,正直）”.The second problem is the implication that there is one calling out there for everyone. Although having a calling can be a source of joy, research shows that searching for one leaves students feeling lost and confused. The third hurdle: Careers rarely live up to your childhood dreams
28、. In one study, looking for the ideal job left college seniors feeling more anxious, stressed, overwhelmed and depressed throughout the process and less satisfied with the outcome. Asking kids what they want to be leads them to claim a career identity they might never want to earn. Instead, invite t
29、hem to think about what kind of person they want to be and about all the different things they might want to do.18The purpose of the author talking about his/her childhood when being asked “What do you want to be when you grow up?” is _. A. To raise readers interests.B. To prove his or her professio
30、nal opinions.C. To inform readers that his or her childhood influenced him or her to be a psychologist. D. To offer a case who was influenced by the question and lead to the topic of the passage.19. The underlined word “disservice” means_. A. a harmful action. B. out of service. C. mistakes. D. offe
31、nse20. Why its not socially acceptable to say, “A father”, or, “A mother”, or “A person of integrity” when being asked about “what do you want to be”?A. Because it is meaningless. B. Because it is not to define kids in terms of work. C. Because it is too easy to achieve. D. Because it is a satisfyin
32、g answer to adults. 21What is the purpose of this passage?A. To report a newly discovered study.B. To persuade people to change their clich but disservice to kids. C. To prove a theory about children education.D. To advertise a new product. DWhen it comes to making healthy lifestyle changes, which s
33、hould come first changing your diet or becoming more physically active?Previous studies suggested that providing people with too much information about nutrition and physical activity at once tends to be discouraging. That has led to the popularity of advising people to make changes gradually, and s
34、et smaller goals.So the scientists divided 200 inactive participants who were aged 45 or older into four groups. One group was instructed about making diet and fitness changes at the same time, the second group was taught about diet changes first, then fitness changes four months later, the third gr
35、oup changed their exercise habits first and made changes in their eating habits four months later, and the final, control group was not instructed about either diet or fitness changes but about how to manage their stress.The researchers tracked the groups for a full year. Compared to the control gro
36、up, the three intervention (干预) groups made healthy changes in their diet. Those who changed their fitness habits first significantly increased the amount of exercise they received daily compared to the other groups after four months. However, at the end of the year, the group that changed both diet
37、 and exercise at the same time was the only one that met the nationally recommended targets for both exercise and nutrition levels, while those who worked on improving their nutrition first were unable to meet the recommended levels of fitness after a year. The researchers suspect that changes to di
38、et are easier to make than changes to physical activity.The findings show, however, that pairing diet and exercise changes may help to overcome some of the barriers people face in adding more physical activity into their lives. If folks change diet and exercise orderly, the scientists say, they may
39、end up placing more importance on the first set of behavior changes and feel less pressured to address the second set.22. The advice mentioned in the second paragraph seemed _ .A. popular B. dangerous C. scientific D. unsatisfactory23. Which group made progress earlier than other groups in increasin
40、g the amount of daily exercise?A. The first group. B. The second group.C. The third group.D. The control group.24. The reason why those improving their nutrition first failed to meet the levels of fitness after a year might be that _ .A. they might be very lazyB. they wouldnt like to change their be
41、haviorC. it is much harder to change physical activityD. they might put on weight before changing their physical activity25. Which of the following does the author probably approve of?A.

First is a tr
43、opical disturbance, which has thunderstorms and rotating winds. Next is a tropical depression, which is similar to a tropical disturbance, but has winds between 23 and 39 miles per hour. A tropical storm is the next level, which has stronger wind speeds between 40 and 73 miles per hour. 26 The wind
44、picks up energy from the warm surface ocean water. As a hurricane crosses over land, it begins to become weaker and reduce in strength. 27 At this point, a hurricane can still cause a lot of damage because of high winds, rain, and flooding, but unless it makes its way back over the open ocean, it is
45、 downgraded from a hurricane back to a tropical storm. Whats Your Name, Hurricane? Hurricanes and tropical storms are given names to help people recognize them. 28 Before 1953, hurricanes were not given official name. From 1953 through 1978, hurricanes were only female names, like Isabel, Camille, C
46、laudette, and Wilma. Beginning in 1979, hurricane were given the names of both women and men. 29 For example, in 2010, storms were named as follows: Alex(male), Bonnie(female), Colin(male), Danielle(female), Earl(male) and son on . There are six different lists of names that change. 30 The only way
47、that a new name is added is when a hurricane has been particularly deadly or costly and the name is retired, then replaced with a new one. A. And the same names are used every six years.B. It is difficult to give hurricanes official names.C. During this period the hurricanes do not destroy things as
48、 usual.D. Once winds reach 74 miles per hour, the storm is officially called a hurricane. E. This is because it is no longer over the warm ocean water that it needs for energy. F. Today, the names alternate male and female, and they are named in order of letters. G. Scientists refer to hurricanes an
