【题目】I am Peter Hodes, a volunteer stem cell courier. Since March 2012, I’ve done 89 trips -— of those, 51 have been abroad, I have 42 hours to carry stem cells (干细胞) in my little box because I’ve got two ice packs and that’s how long they last. In all, from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor to the time they can be implanted in the patient, we’ve got 72 hours at most. So I am always conscious of time.
I had one trip last year where I was caught by a hurricane in America. I picked up the stem cells in Providence, Rhode Island, and was meant to fly to Washington then back to London. But when I arrived at the check-in desk at Providence, the lady on the desk said: “Well, I’m really sorry, I’ve got some bad news for you — there are no flights from Washington.” So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said: “In this box are some stem cells that are urgently needed for a patient — please, please, you’ve got to get me back to the United Kingdom.” She just dropped everything. She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for me, re-routed (改道) me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originally scheduled.
For this courier job, you’re consciously aware that in that box you’ve got something that is potentially going to save somebody’s life.
【1】Which of the following can replace the underlined word “courier” in Paragraph 1?
A. providerB. collectorC. delivery manD. medical doctor
【2】Why does Peter have to complete his trip within 42 hours?
A. The ice won’t last any longer.
B. The donor can only wait for that long.
C. The operation needs that much time.
D. He cannot stay away from his job too long.
【3】Which fight did the woman put Peter on first?
A. To Newark.B. To London.C. To Providence.D. To Washington.
【答案】
【1】C
【2】A
【3】A
【解析】
试题分析: 本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者在一次运送造血干细胞途中的一段经历，表现了人们之间的友爱。
【1】C 词义猜测题。根据本段内容I’ve done 89 trips和I have 42 hours to carry stem cells in my little box以及第二段内容可知，作者是运送干细胞的人，也就是delivery man。故选C。
【2】A 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句I have 42 hours to carry stem cells in my little box because I've got two ice packs and that's how long they last.可知，冰盒只能保持42小时适宜的温度。故选A项。
【3】A 细节理解题。根据第二段末句She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for me, re-routed me through Newark可知，这位好心的女士首先安排作者去Newark的航班。故选A。

【题目】Pharrell Williams takes a breath and considers how the past years have developed for him: ten Grammy Awards and a number of hit singles including a song that has caused countless fans to express how they are “happy”．
And the key, says the 43yearold known simply as Pharrell, has been taking advantage of audiences' (听众的) need for heartfelt personal stories.
“I think we've entered a new singersongwriter time，” said the American singer and producer. “People want a story. They want a story they can connect to. It's not about what you have or what you don't have; it's more about your journey and your viewpoint that's important to people.”
Pharrell said he noticed a change in audiences' tastes over the past year in particular with the sudden success of his song Happy, which received little fanfare upon its release but has turned into an international hit. Countless videos populate sites like YouTube with people from Portugal and China to Abu Dhabi and Iran singing and dancing along to the song.
After seeing how far his song traveled, the singer broke down in tears during a televised interview with the famous talk show host Oprah Winfrey.
“It's just encouraging to people who have something to say, something to express，” he said.
The success has made Pharrell realize that people are searching for personal and emotional links (情感纽带), perhaps as a means of getting away from the modern technological world we're living in today.
“People want to feel. There's too much thinking to deal with，” the singer said. “We're different from what we were 15 years ago, The only thing we have left that reminds (提醒) us that we are humans is feeling. It' s the most important thing ever.”
【1】What's the key to successful music according to Pharrell?
A. Writing happy songs.
B. Following your heart.
C. Telling moving stories.
D. Sharing personal experiences.
【2】What can we learn about Pharrell's song Happy?
A. It received a cold welcome.
B. It became popular overnight.
C. It changed audiences' tastes in music.
D. It received different responses at home and abroad.
【3】How did Pharrell feel about the success of his song?
A. It was caused by good luck.
B. It was within his expectations.
C. It gave him hope and confidence.
D. It prevented him giving up making music.
【4】Why do people want to be connected to others emotionally?
A. They need someone to talk to.
B. They need others to help them think.
C. They are tired of their own personal life.
D. They feel less human in the technological world.

【题目】A first-grade student whose best friend is suffering from cancer decided that hours of playing and telling jokes was not enough—he wanted to show his buddy just how he understood the tough time he was going through.
Five-year-old Vincent Butterfield decided the only way was to shave his head in support of his best friend Zac Gossage who lost his hair through chemotherapy(化疗).

He made more than 20 scarves and sold them, raising more than $200 to give to Zac.
The little boy's mom Karen Butterfield told KSDK," We had been making these scarves and he just kind of said it would be cool if we could make a whole bunch of these and sell them."
When asked what friendship was, Vincent looked at his friend Zac and responded: "It's a beautiful thing."

Questioning can lead to search for an answer. If we are in the habit of raising doubts as to if what we are told is true, we can find the correct answer and learn more.
Two years before, our teacher, Mr. Li offered us an answer to a difficult math problem in class. Because the answer seemed a little strange, nobody but I doubted it. Thought that his solution might be wrong, I carefully analyzed the problem and try to work it out in a different way. Half an hour later, I managed to find the correct answer. When I showed my answer to her, the teacher praised me for my dependent thinking.
From this experience I have been learnt that questioning can serve as a bridge helps us to seek the truth.
