A

A high school senior from Houston, Texas, was accepted by each of the 20 top-ranked universities to which he applied — and was offered a full scholarship to every single one of them.

Michael Brown, a 17-year-old student at Lamar High School, went viral（迅速成名） after he was caught on camera screaming in glee upon learning he was accepted into Stanford University in December.

Little did the teen know at the time, but his excitement would increase by a factor of 20 in March when he was also accepted into Harvard, Princeton, Yale, the University of Pennsylvania, Georgetown, Northwestern, Vanderbilt and the University of Michigan, among other prestigious（著名的） colleges. But what did it take for Brown to pull off his flawless（完美无瑕的） clean sweep?

To start, the high schooler has an impressive 4.68 grade point average and an SAT score of 1540 out of 1600. His ACT score, a 34 out of a possible 36, proved to be just as excellent. Brown's extracurriculars also include various internships as well as participation on his high school's debate team.

His mother, Berthinia Rutledge-Brown, told The New York Times that she was simply blown away by her son's perfect performance. \“I always knew Mike would get into a good school. I always knew he’d get good scholarship support. But I never imagined this.\

So, which school will he be attending this fall? Although Brown remains undecided at the moment, he reportedly plans to major in political science and hopes to one day become a lawyer.

He will make the big decision by May 1. 21. What does the underlined word mean? A. Delight. B. Fear. C. Envy. D. Embarrassment. 22.

A Canadian man is asking forgiveness for a birdbrained thing he did 17 years ago: inadvertently（无心 地） encouraging seagulls to trash his hotel room.

Back in 2001, Burchill checked into the Fairmont Empress Hotel in Victoria, B.C, for a business meeting. He brought a small suitcase full of Brothers Pepperoni from his hometown to share with former Navy buddies in the area. But his room had no fridge so he opened a window to keep it cool. And then he went for a long walk. That was when things got messy. Really messy. The result was such a housekeeping nightmare that the hotel permanently banned him.

“I remember walking down the long hall and opening the door to my room to find an entire flock of seagulls in my room. There must have been 40 of them and they had been eating pepperoni for a long time.” Burchill said.

When he walked into the room, Burchill recalled he frightened the birds. They “immediately started flying around and crashing into things as they desperately tried to leave the room.” The result was a tornado of seagull feathers, pepperoni chunks and fairly large birds whipping around the room. The lamps were falling. The curtains were trashed. The coffee tray was just disgusting.

Eventually, Burchill called the front desk and requested help cleaning up the room. “I can still remember the look on the lady’s face when she opened the door. ” said Burchill. A short time later, he received a note from the hotel saying he’d been banned for life.

Recently, Burchill visited the hotel to apologize in person, in hope of making amends with the woman who had to clean the seagull-and-pepperoni-trashed room, but was told she was no longer there.

“When I was talking to the people at the desk and the manager, they did say that they had heard this story from a long-term employee that works there,” said Burchill, “I was just kind of in and out. I didn’t want to overstay my welcome.” So he apologized and was forgiven. Burchill left them a present of about a pound of Brothers Pepperoni as a peace offering. It seemed to have worked. 24. Why did Burchill take so much pepperoni to the hotel? A. He wanted to share with the guests in the hotel. B. He wanted to attract the seagulls to trash his room. C. He intended to give it to his friends as a gift. D. He intended to feed the seagulls with it.

25. What punishment did Fairmont Empress give Burchill? A. He had been forbidden to stay in the hotel permanently. B. He had to help the woman to clean up the room.

C. He needed to bring a pound of pepperoni to the hotel. D. He was sent to a very small room instead. 26. Which of the following statements is true?

A. Burchill wrote a letter to the hotel manager to make an apology.

B. Hungry seagulls flew to eat the pepperoni when Burchill was sleeping. C. Burchill’s coming back worsened the mess in his room.

D. The woman who had cleaned up the room didn’t accept Burchill’s apology. 27. What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Burchill will probably book a room in Fairmont Empress the next time he is in Victoria. B. After Burchill’s apology the woman who cleaned up the room will come back to work. C. The manager hadn’t heard of the story until Burchill visited the hotel to apologize.

D. People in the hotel became disappointed because Burchill didn’t stay in the hotel that day. C

Researchers say getting a good night's sleep is probably the best tool for memory and learning. But short periods of sleep may help our brains work better, says a recent study on napping. And taking a nap may also help old adults fight off age-related memory loss.

CDC, an American scientific organization, found that 50 to 70 million Americans have chronic（长期 的）sleep disorders. So, someone who naps as a way of paying off a sleep debt may not experience the same improvements from napping as a well-rested person would. Also, that only children, the very old, sick or lazy people nap is not an uncommon opinion.

Researchers recently looked at information provided by nearly 3,000 Chinese adults, aged 65 years or older, to learn if napping after a mid-day meal had any effect on the mental performance of the subjects.

First, they asked the people if they napped and for how long. Then, based on their answers, researchers put them into four groups: non-nappers (0 min), short nappers (≦30 min), moderate nappers (30-90 min),

and extended nappers (≧90 min). Nearly 60% of the people said they did take a nap after lunch and that their naps lasted anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes. Most of the subjects said they napped for about an hour.

The study found that people who took an hour-long nap did much better on mental tests than those who did not nap. The hour-long nappers also did better on the tests than those who napped for shorter and longer periods. In this study, it seemed that the most effective nap lasted for about an hour, but not much longer.

Yet Doctor Michael Twery notes that an hour long nap may be too long for young, healthy adults. 30 minutes is enough to remove the pressure to sleep and will help us feel more awake. 28. What’s the main idea of this passage?

A. Getting a good night’s sleep is probably the best tool for memory and learning. B. Getting rest during the middle of the day helps older adults’ brains work better. C. Taking a nap helps babies and young children learn better. D. Napping helps adults fight off age-related health problems.

29. Among the following people who naps after lunch, who experiences the best improvement? A. A new mother with her baby crying for most of the night. B. A university student staying up late for the coming exams. C. A school guard working on the night shift.

D. A retired teacher going to bed at 10 p.m. and rising at 6 a.m. 30. A nap does better for healthy and young adult. A. 30-minute B. 60-minute C. 70-minute D. 90-minute 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

If you'd love to be more eco-friendly but don't know where to begin, start with a few small changes.

31 ◆Adjust your thermostat（恒温器）to save on heating and cooling costs. 32 In summer, set your thermostat to 78 °F when you're at home and raise the temperature when you're away. In winter, turn your thermostat to 68 °F and lower it by 5°--10°when you're sleeping or out of your house. To stay warm in winter, put on a sweater or another layer instead of turning up the thermostat.

◆Turn off lights and unplug power strips that you're not using. 33 Some devices can still use energy even when they're turned off. So, turn off the power strips at night to completely cut off energy use. If you need to leave your computer or TV on, try setting it to sleep mode.

◆Make your taps and toilets low-flow. Cut back on water waste by installing flow restrictor(节流 装置) inside your taps and installing a low-flow shower head in your bathroom. This can save 3 to 4 gallons of water for every minute. If you're replacing a toilet, look for a low-flow one to save thousands of gallons of water a year. 34 ◆ 35 Adjust your washing machine to use cold water instead of warm. Since more energy is spent drying the clothes, skip the machine and hang your washed clothes on a clothesline. If you don't have space for a clothesline or can't hang clothes outside, set up a clothes drying rack that you can use inside. Try running your clothes through an extra spin cycle to remove even more water from the clothes. This will make them dry quicker.

A. Replace burned out light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs.
