It had grown into a tall tree and must have been there for a long time. The tree blocked the view and made the office seem dull.

Others fill their hours with personal hobbies,outside interests and even part-time jobs, just to keep their distance from each other! "There should beprivate time and couple time," suggests Dr. Stephen Treat at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia."You don‘t want your latter years to turn into a process where two people unite as one. If you hold tootightly to your partner, it‘s going to cause resentment and anger. If you‘re completely separate, you‘llboth be lonely and disconnected. You need balance. So you have to talk about how vou‘ll achieve that." The right baiance? It‘s different for every couple. "Having a conversation about time can be difficult,but it‘s important for both partners to process those feelings out loud," Dr. Treat says. "You should notbe accusing and act as a judge - ask the difficult questions, but do it in a loving way. You could saysomething like, ?How are we going to be as individuals and how are we going to be as a couple?‘ " Barbara and Chris Christensen have achieved the balance that works for them. In addition to daily routines that keep them close - including about 10 minutes for a daily check-in and about a half hourof relaxation time - they each maintain separate interests and friendships. "We have found that we need time apart," Barbara says. "I have a group of women friends that Ihave known for the last 30 years. We have dinner out once a month. We women also have parties and weekend or weeklong vacations as a group at a beach or somewhere. Chris, a former fighter pilot, has many aviation-oriented(航空的) groups and friends and also a penny-ante poker-playing (玩扑克) group of our friends.

The Sunday Telegraph tracked down the strange recluse (隐士 ) who shocked the maths world when he solved a century-old puzzle known as the Poincare Conjecture. Grigory Perelman‘s trouble comes from a split with a leading Russian mathematical institute, the Steklov, in 2003. When the Institute in St Petersburg failed to re-elect him as a member, Dr Perelman was left feeling an "absolutely ungified and untalented person", said a friend. He becEune unconfident and cut himself off. Other friends say he cannot afford to travel to the International Mathematical Union‘s congress inMadrid, where many people want him to receive the maths equivalent(等价物) of the Nobel Prize, and that he is too modest to ask anyone to pay for his trip. 英语(二)第8页 共13页 10 Interviewed in St Petersburg, Dr Perelman insisted that he was unworthy of all the attention, and was uninterested in the prize.―I do not think anything that I say can be ofthe slightest public interest" he said. "I am not saying that because I value my privacy, or that I am doing anything I want to hide. There are no top-secret projects going on here. Ijust believe the public has no interest in me." He continued: "I know that self-promotion happens a lot and if people want to do that, good luck to them, bjt I do not regard it as a positive thing. I realised this a long time ago and nobody is going to change my mind. Newspapers sliould be more discerning(有洞察力的) over who they write about. They should have more taste. As far as I am concerned, I can‘t offer anything for their readers." Dr Perelman has some small savings from his time as a lecturer, but is apparently unwilling to increase them with the $1 million offered by the Clay Mathematics Institute in Cambridge,Massachusetts, for solving one ofthe world‘s seven "Millennium Problems". 66. Grigory Perelman lives with his mother because A. he has to look after her B. his mother has a million dollars C. he has been out of work for a long time D. he is badly paid at the mathematical institute 67.

Places of business that used to keep daytime "business hours" are now open late into the night. And on the Intemet, the hour of the day and the day of the week have become irrelevant. Half a century ago in the United States, most people experienced strong and precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work, school time and summer time.Today the boundaries still exist but seem less clear. The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday; in most, it no longer does. It used to keep schools open in all seasons except summer and in most, it still does. And whether the work week should strengthen its legal limits, or whether it should beco:me more?flexible"‘ is often debated.How should we, as a society, organize our time? Should we go even further in relaxing the boundaries of time until we live in a world in xvhich every minute is much like every other? These are not easy questions to ask. Part of the difficulty is that we rarely recognize the―law of time". even When we meet it face to face. We know as children that we havcto artend school a certainnumber of hours. a certain number of davs, a certain nLunbcr or x‘etlrs --- bLll unless x~‘e meet the truanrofficer (学监) , we may well think that we should go to school due to social customs and parents‘ demand, rather than abide by. As adults, we are familiar with ?;extra pay for overtime work" , but less familiar with the fact tiat what constitutes (构 成) "overtime" is a matter oflegal definition, When weturn the clock forward to start daylight-saving time, have we ever thought to ourselves: ?*Here is the law in action"? As we shall see, the law has a great influence on how we organize and use time: compulsoryeducation law, overtime law, and daylight-saving law as well as laws about Sunday closing,holidays, being late for work, time zones and so on. When we begin to look more closely, we will haveno trouble finding a law of time to examine and assess! 71. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word irrelevant?

At the age of l6, her father thought that she had enough schooling and forced her to drop out of school to contribute to the family income. In l922, with limited education and skills, the future didn‘t look bright for Lill. Her father demanded that Lill find a job as soon as possible, but she didn‘t have the confidence to ask for a job. One day, Lill gathered her courage and knocked on her very first door. She was met by Margaret Costello, the office manager. In her broken English, Lill told her she was interested in the secretarial position. Margaret decided to give her a chance. Margaret sat her down at a typewriter and said, ―Lill, let‘s see how good you really are.‖She directed Lill to type a single letter, and then left. Lill looked at the clock and saw that it was ll:40 a.m. Everyone would be leaving for lunch at noon. She thought she should at least attempt the letter. On her first try, she got through one line but made four mistakes. She pulled the paper out and threw it away. The clock now read ll:45. ―At noon,‖ she said to herself,―I‘ll move out with the crowd, and they will never see me again.‖ On her second attempt, things didn‘t get any better. Again the started over and finally completed the letter, full of mistakes, though. She looked at the clock: ll:55 —five minutes to freedom. Just then, Margaret walked in. She came directly over to Lill, and put one hand on the desk and the other on the girl‘s shoulder. She read the letter and paused. Then she said,‖Lill, you‘re doing good work!‖ Lill was surprised. She looked at the letter, then up at Margaret. With those simple words of encouragement, her desire to escape disappeared and her confidence began to grow. She thought, ―Well, if she thinks it‘s good, then it must be good. I think I‘ll stay!‖ Lill did stay at Carhartt Overall Company„for 5l years, through two world wars and ll presidents—all because someone had the insight to give a shy and uncertain 英语(二)第8页 共13页 18 young girl the gift of self-confidence when she knocked on the door. 56.

The number of court-issued punishment notices went up by l2% to 7,793 last year. The Department for Children, Schools and Families said that part of the rise was due to a ban on parents taking their child out of school during term time to go on holiday. The Labour government has a target to cut truancy(逃学) by a third, but the current rate of unauthorised absence in England is a third higher than in 200l. The government has introduced tough new permission to force parents to deal with their child‘s truancy. Parents can be fined, asked to sign contracts, or ordered to make their child go to school. Finally they can be sent to prison. The first parent to be put in prison was Patricia Amos, from Banbury, Oxfordshire, in 2006. Separate figures from the Ministry of Justice today show that 133 parents were put in prison between 2004 and 20ll for failing to prevent their child‘s truancy. Children‘s minister Delyth Morgan said:―It‘s important that we back schools and local authorities in using these powers to deal with problem pupils and bad behaviour. They rightly make parents take responsibility for their children. These latest figures show that schools and local authorities continue to make good use of these measures.‖ David Laws, the Liberal Democrat education spokesman, said:―While parents need to take responsibility for their children‘s behaviour and have the duty to ensure they attend school, truancy rates across the country remain sky high. What is needed is a more effective local approach involving parents, schools and the police.

She started small, raising money by selling lemonade and homemade dog biscuits in front of her house. Her first customer was the mailman. By the end of that summer, she had raised nearly $l,000, enough to adopt and train two dogs and give them to children with cancer. Now, a little more than two years later, some groups gather to make dog treats for Allison‘s cause.

It seemed fanciful at the time, but fantasy is edging closer to fact. On Jan. 3l, a team of scientists at the UC Berkeley, led by Robert Knight programmed computers to decode (解码) brain waves and replay them as words. Five months earlier, another group of Berkeley scientists showed their colleagues short movies and used computers to play back in color what people saw. These experiments are a big advance from 2006, when a French scientist first replayed images from a human mind, a black-and-white checkerboard pattern. The possibilities, are great: a disabled person could ―speak‖; doctors could access the mind of a patient who fainted; you could rewatch your dreams on an iPad. There are, of course, equally dark side, such as the involuntary takeout of information from the brain. In spite of these breakthroughs, Jack Gallant, the neuroscientist who led the first Berkeley team, says current technology for decoding brain activity is still 21 英语(二)第8页 共13页 ―relatively primitive.‖ The field is held back by its poor machinery, in particular the fMRI. ―Eventually,‖ says Gallant, ―someone will invent a decoding machine you can wear as a hat.‖ Such an advance into the human mind, he says, might take 30 years. Still, the recent advances at Berkeley offer small answers, which scientists can use to begin unlocking the secrets of memory and consciousness. 7l. What is the best title for the passage? A. New technology can read your mind B. Fantasy is edging closer to fact C. A new discovery in human brain D. The intelligent computers in the future 72. What did scientists at the UC Berkeley do? A.

It was a bad fall. I landed on a glass rabbit which cut my eye badly enough to blind it. Trying to save the eye, the doctors stitched the eyeball together where it was cut, leaving a big ugly scar in the middle of my eye. The attempt failed, but my mama, in all of her wisdom, found a doctor who knew that if the eye were removed entirely, my face would grow up badly twisted, so my scarred, sightless, cloudy and gray eye lived on with me. And as I grew, this sightless eye in so many ways controlled me. I walked with my face looking at the floor so people would not see the ugly me. Sometimes people, even strangers, asked me embarrassing questions or made hurtful remarks. When the kids played games, I was always the "monster." I grew up imagining that people looked at me in an unusual way, as if my appearance were my fault. I always felt like I was a freak. Yet Mama would say to me, at every turn, ―Hold your head up high and face the world.‖ It became a litany that I relied on. She had started when I was young. She 英语(二)第8页 共13页 22 would hold me in her arms and stroke my hair and say, "If you hold your head up high.it will be okay, and people will see your beautiful soul." She continued this message whenever I wanted to hide. Those words have meant different things to me over the years. As a little child, I thought Mama meant, "Be careful or you will fall down or bump into something because you are not looking." As an adolescent, even though I tended to look down to hide my shame, I found that sometimes when I held my head up high and let people know me, they liked me. My mama’ s words helped me begin to realize that by letting people look at my face, I let them recognize the intelligence and beauty behind both eyes even if they couldn‘t see it on the surface. In high school I was successful both academically and socially. I was even elected class president, but on the inside I still felt like a freak. All I really wanted was to look like everyone else. When things got really bad, I would cry to my mama and she would look at me with loving eyes and say, "Hold your head up high and face the world. Let them see the beauty that is inside. " When I met the man who became my partner for life, we looked each other straight in the eye and he told me I was beautiful inside and out. He meant it. My mama’s love and encouragement were the spark that gave me the confidence to overcome my own doubt. I had faced adversity, encountered my problems head on, and learned not only to appreciate myself but to have deep compassion for others. "Hold your head up high," has been heard many times in my home. Each of my children has felt its invitation. The gift my mama gave me lives on in another generation. 41. As a result of the terrible accident, the writer ____. A. became deaf and blind B. had her eye moved away C. had some hearing loss D. had her eye hurt 42.

A. encourage her in her daily life B. warn her of the inconvenience C. blame her for lack of confidence D. praise her for her great courage 44.

Two years ago, I designed and made a set of outfits from recyclable materials for a charity 共13页 23 英语(二)第8页 fashion show. Through this highly meaningful and profound experience, I became aware of the importance of protecting and preserving our environment when designing and making fashion items, resulting in my founding an organization to promote eco — friendly, design and fashion. My interest has led me to research areas of fashion that have environmental implications. For example, some popular clothing stores have announced marketing policies designed to improve the environment. For those of us who are eco - conscious, it is responsible for us to evaluate whether such policies are just a marketing promotion, or represent great efforts to protect our environment. Three chain - stores, H&M, Urban Outfitters and Forever 21 ,have been promoting "green" items. After I examined their products, I have concluded that H&M and Urban Outfitters are truly helping the environment with their efforts, while Forever 21 seems to be using the "go green" trend as a way to sell more products, rather than genuinely help the environment. Of these three stores, H&M has the most extensive eco -fashion plans. It is already well on its way to carrying out its plans by increasingly mixing organic cotton into their garments, as well as putting fully organic cotton items on the market. The store also belongs to the Organic Exchange Organization, which approves of growth of organic cotton. To reduce the harm from non - organic cotton production, H&M is involved with the Better Cotton Project. Mindful of the unfavorable effects of climate change, the store aims to minimize transportation and energy usage. H&M labels their eco -friendly products with an official symbol, the Flower, to represent a production system that is less harmful than most traditional processes. Because of these actions and policies, H&M is already well on its way to making a difference on the environment. With its Urban Renewal brand, Urban Outfitter takes a different approach than H&M in promoting eco - friendly fashion. The brand features women‘s clothes made from strictly environmentally -friendly sources, such as vintage, dead stock, or surplus clothing. Urban Renewal produces fashionable garments, and embraces being eco - friendly through recycling. Unlike the other two stores above, Forever 21‘s eco-fashion efforts fall short; some people would say their message is thoroughly misleading. It promotes the "green" image, and yet many of their supposed eco -friendly products do not help the environment. For example, it sells a "Think Green Tote" that, according to the site, is meant to "send an environmentally friendly message." However it is made of 100% non - organic cotton which is one of the most damaging fabrics to the environment, mostly because it requires greater chemical intervention compared to organic cotton. Also, the "I Love My Planet Tote" is supposed to "make a positive statement," but is also made of 100% cotton that is not organic. The only tote that is environmentally - friendly is the "H81 Organic Cotton Tote" from Forever 21‘s Heritage brand, made from 100% organic cotton. Now that Forever 21 has portrayed itself as being "green," it should start "walking the walk." 50. The author writes the texts simply to ____. 英语(二)第8页 共13页 24 A. analyze the concept of eco - friendly design and fashion B. remind us of the damage to the environment of traditional processes C. appeal to Forever 21 not to use commercial campaign illegally D. state we should take action but not play tricks in ecological protection 51. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means ____. A. all the customers are trying not to walk into the Forever 21 to buy products B. the Forever 21 has already been on its way to transform its negative image C. the writer publicly urges the Forever 21 to put its campaign into practice D. the environmental problem is so serious that we should pay more attention 52. Which of the following supports the author‘s opinion? A. The author‘s environmental awareness comes from his shopping experiences. B. None of the three stores makes a difference on the ecological protection. C. Someone uses the "go green" trend just as a trick to make more profit. D. It is still a very long way before we humans will use real green products. 53. The passage is developed by ____. A. showing cause and effect B. giving concrete figures C. making comparison and contrast D. using time order 54. Which of the following statements can be the best title? A. Does the Trend of Eco - Friendly Help the Environment? B. Green Products Are Common in Fashion Stores. C. A Survey of Eco - Friendly Design on Fashion Markets. D.

But Aaron Naparstek has had enough of it. On one occasion, the 31 - year - old website developer approached the open window of a 4x4.waited for the driver to finish honking, offered a polite "excuse me" and then yelled " Ho - o - o - o - o - o - onk!" in his face. (The response was fierce anger.) Then a few months ago he lost his patience and threw three eggs from the window of his Brooklyn apartment on to the windscreen of a car honking loudly below. But the driver threatened to kill him. So, nobly, he chose the path of non - violence. He started writing anti - honking haiku verses - honku, he called them - and taped them to local lampposts: Oh .forget Enron * The problem around here is All the damn honking (*Enron: a major American company that recently caused a scandal by going bankrupt because of corrupt mismanagement) "Then this really weird thing started happening," Naparstek says. "All these other haiku started appearing that I hadn‘t written." Naparstek‘s section of Brooklyn is now covered in anti - honking poetry, written by everyone from scary environmental activist types to violent revolutionaries; Patience slowly fades 英语(二)第8页 共13页 25 Residents store up their eggs That day is coming soon. www. honku. org — and now people Inevitably Naparstek has started a website — from across the country send him news of their own anti - honking campaigns. Poetry, it turns out, can change the world after all (if you‘ve got enough tape). Then, just recently, anti - anti - honking haiku started to appear, taped up by locals who thought Naparstek should stop worrying about honking and start worrying about starving children, say, or war in the Middle East instead. Naparstek has an answer for that. "Stop me if this is too tenuous(不靠谱的) ," he says, "but they talk about the violence in the Middle East like it‘ s a force of nature, like it‘ s beyond our control. But actually it‘s kind of like the honking - the violence is man -made. If we can figure out how to stop honking on Clinton Street, I think we could learn some things that we could use on a large scale. "He pauses for a moment, "I told you it was tenuous." 55. We can learn from the beginning of the passage that ____. A. honking noise has influenced people‘s life in New York B. most New Yorkers enjoy sleeping late in the morning C. New Yorkers have formed a habit of honking while driving D. New Yorkers enjoy listening to the honking of horns 56. What is Naparstek‘s final response to the honking of horns? A. Ignore it. B.

The underlined word "haiku" in the passage is most probably ___ A. a type of game B. a kind of language C. a style of poem D. a website 58. According to the passage, most New Yorkers think Naparstek‘s response is ___. A. pointless B. reasonable C. strange D. abnormal 59.

After Dad died, I wondered how I’d figure it out on my own. That’s when Jack arrived on the scene . He was different from any other guy I’d dated.

I’d never known such a tender moment. If only Dad were here to give his final approval. ―Oh, let’s just go inside.‖ Jack laughed. My mother opened the door . ―Happy Birthday!‖ we shouted. Jack handed the box to her .She opened it up . Suddenly, her eyes were filled with tears.‖ Mom , what’s wrong?‖ I asked. ―I’m sorry,‖ she said, wiping her eyes. ―This is only the second gardenia corsage I’ve ever received .

As a young boy,Efron was picked on in school because he was always the smallest in his class and teased because he had a big space between his teeth. In sixth grade, Efron’s basketball team made it to the league championships. In double overtime(两 个加时赛),with three seconds left,he rebounded the ball and passed it—to the wrong team! They scored and his team lost the game。 But history,as they say, is a thing of the past. Now at 21,Efron is one of People magazine’s 100 Most Beautiful People,appears on the cover of Entertainment Weekly,Hollywood’s most influential magazine,and is traveling the world promoting the third High School Musical film. Director Adam Shankman described Efron as ―arguably the biggest teen star in America right now.‖Simply geogle―Zac Efron‖and you get more than 14 million responses.

The shoes ale very easy to get used to—they almost feel like you are using a pair of roller skates. We have had some people concerned that they are just for lazy people, but actually there is quite a lot of exercise involved in turning corners and avoiding obstacles. They also mean people will be outdoors more often which can only be a good thing. Small rain or water pools on the street shouldn’t be a problem but obviously they can’t be drowned in water . They are easy to stop too, even if you are travelling downhill, they have a stoper like on roller skates.‖ The shoes are made from reinforced nylon and aluminium and can be fully charged in two to three hours.

That means letting children get a little dirty might be good for their health later in life. The study involved laboratory mice. It found that adult mice raised in a germ-free environment were more likely to develop allergies(asthma and other autoimmune disorders( There are more than eighty disorders where cells that normally defend the body instead attack tissues and organs( Richard Blumberg,who led the study,is a professor at‘Harvard Medical School in Boston,Massachusetts. He says,in 1989,medical researchers who sought to explain these diseases, first discovered that the increasing use of antibacterial soaps and other products, especially early in life, could weaken immune systems. Now, Dr. Blumberg and his team have what is the first biological evidence to link early exposure to germs to stronger adult immune systems. They say this exposure could prevent the development of some autoimmune diseases. In the adult germ-free mice, they found that inflammation(发炎)in the lungs and colon was caused by so-called killer T cells. These normally fight infection. But they became overactive and targeted healthy tissue—an autoimmune condition seen in asthma and a disease called ulcerative colitis. Dr, Blumberg says the mice raised in a normal environment did not have the same reaction. He says their immune systems had been―educated‖by early exposure to germs. Rates of autoimmune disorders are rising worldwide, but mostly in wealthier, industrialized countries. According to Dr.Blumberg, it might be high time that people were warned to be more careful with the early use of antibiotics(抗生素) and the prescription from their doctors. Rob Dunn is a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at North Carolina State University in Raleigh. He says the new study does not mean people should stop washing.―Wash your hands , but don’t do it with antibacterial soap. Let your kids play in a reasonable amount of dirt and get outside and get exposed to a diversity of things‖,says Rob Dunn. 71.Who first found immune systems might get harmed by overly using antibacterial products? 英语(二)第8页 共13页 31 A(A professor of ecology and evolutionary biology.

At the age of l6, her father thought that she had enough schooling and forced her to drop out of school to contribute to the family income. In l922, with limited education and skills, the future didn‘t look bright for Lill. Her father demanded that Lill find a job as soon as possible, but she didn‘t have the confidence to ask for a job. One day, Lill gathered her courage and knocked on her very first door. She was met by Margaret Costello, the office manager. In her broken English, Lill told her she was interested in the secretarial position. Margaret decided to give her a 共13页 45 英语(二)第8页 chance. Margaret sat her down at a typewriter and said, ―Lill, let‘s see how good you really are.‖She directed Lill to type a single letter, and then left. Lill looked at the clock and saw that it was ll:40 a.m. Everyone would be leaving for lunch at noon. She thought she should at least attempt the letter. On her first try, she got through one line but made four mistakes. She pulled the paper out and threw it away. The clock now read ll:45. ―At noon,‖ she said to herself,―I‘ll move out with the crowd, and they will never see me again.‖ On her second attempt, things didn‘t get any better. Again the started over and finally completed the letter, full of mistakes, though. She looked at the clock: ll:55 —five minutes to freedom. Just then, Margaret walked in. She came directly over to Lill, and put one hand on the desk and the other on the girl‘s shoulder. She read the letter and paused. Then she said,‖Lill, you‘re doing good work!‖ Lill was surprised. She looked at the letter, then up at Margaret. With those simple words of encouragement, her desire to escape disappeared and her confidence began to grow. She thought, ―Well, if she thinks it‘s good, then it must be good. I think I‘ll stay!‖ Lill did stay at Carhartt Overall Company„for 5l years, through two world wars and ll presidents—all because someone had the insight to give a shy and uncertain young girl the gift of self-confidence when she knocked on the door. 56.

The number of court-issued punishment notices went up by l2% to 7,793 last year. The Department for Children, Schools and Families said that part of the rise was due to a ban on parents taking their child out of school during term time to 英语(二)第8页 共13页 46 go on holiday. The Labour government has a target to cut truancy(逃学) by a third, but the current rate of unauthorised absence in England is a third higher than in 200l. The government has introduced tough new permission to force parents to deal with their child‘s truancy. Parents can be fined, asked to sign contracts, or ordered to make their child go to school. Finally they can be sent to prison. The first parent to be put in prison was Patricia Amos, from Banbury, Oxfordshire, in 2006. Separate figures from the Ministry of Justice today show that 133 parents were put in prison between 2004 and 20ll for failing to prevent their child‘s truancy. Children‘s minister Delyth Morgan said:―It‘s important that we back schools and local authorities in using these powers to deal with problem pupils and bad behaviour. They rightly make parents take responsibility for their children. These latest figures show that schools and local authorities continue to make good use of these measures.‖ David Laws, the Liberal Democrat education spokesman, said:―While parents need to take responsibility for their children‘s behaviour and have the duty to ensure they attend school, truancy rates across the country remain sky high. What is needed is a more effective local approach involving parents, schools and the police. Extra money to cut class sizes and provide more one-to-one support will enable teachers to work with individual children and make sure that they are occupied in the classroom.‖ 6l.

She started small, raising money by selling lemonade and homemade dog biscuits in front of her house. Her first customer was the mailman. By the end of that summer, she had raised nearly $l,000, enough to adopt and train two dogs and give them to children with cancer. Now, a little more than two years later, some groups gather to make dog treats for Allison‘s cause. Her organization, the Stink Bug Project, named after a picture she drew in memory of the end of her treatment, is run and managed in partnership with the Morgan Adams Foundation. Stink Bug helps families adopt pets from the Trained K9 Companion Program, where the rescued dogs are taught commands. Allison‘s mother, Dianna Litvak, who helps run Stink Bug, hopes to extend the pet-adoption program statewide and continue donating some of the money to help fund children‘s cancer research. ―Allison has figured out how to help-in a way that no one else has,‖ Litvak says. ―We involve her younger sister, Emily, her friends, the adopting families, and some others. It took the love of a little girl to wrap all that together into one amazing package.‖ Go to stinkbugproject. org to donate or to buy Allison‘s dog biscuits. 66. At the beginning, Allison‘s family .

It seemed fanciful at the time, but fantasy is edging closer to fact. On Jan. 3l, a team of scientists at the UC Berkeley, led by Robert Knight programmed computers to decode (解码) brain waves and replay them as words. Five months earlier, another group of Berkeley scientists showed their colleagues short movies and used computers to play back in color what people saw. These experiments are a big advance from 2006, when a French scientist first replayed images from a human mind, a black-and-white checkerboard pattern. The possibilities, are great: a disabled person could ―speak‖; doctors could access the mind of a patient who fainted; you could rewatch your dreams on an iPad. There are, of course, equally dark side, such as the involuntary takeout of information from the brain. In spite of these breakthroughs, Jack Gallant, the neuroscientist who led the first Berkeley team, says current technology for decoding brain activity is still ―relatively primitive.‖ The field is held back by its poor machinery, in particular the fMRI. ―Eventually,‖ says Gallant, ―someone will invent a decoding machine you can wear as a hat.‖ Such an advance into the human mind, he says, might take 30 years. Still, the recent advances at Berkeley offer small answers, which scientists can use to begin unlocking the secrets of memory and consciousness. 7l. What is the best title for the passage? A.

We may not depend as much on wild animals now. But we hear about them every day. Americans use the names of animals in many ways. Automobile manufacturers and gasoline companies especially like to use big cats to sell their products. They like lions, tigers and wildcats. When Americans say wildcat, they usually mean a lynx, an ocelot or a bobcat. All these cats attack quickly and fiercely. So wildcats represent something fast and fierce. An early American use of the word wildcat was quite different. It was used to describe members of Congress who declared war on Britain in 1812. A magazine of that year said the wildcat congressmen went home. It said they were unable to face the responsibility of having involved their country in an unnecessary war. Wildcat also has been used as a name for money in the 1800s. At that time, some states permitted banks to make their own money. One bank in the state of Michigan offered paper money with a picture of a wildcat on it. Some banks, however, did not have enough gold to support all the paper money they offered. So the money had little or no value. It was called a wildcat bill or a wildcat bank note. The banks who offered this money were called wildcat banks. A newspaper of the time said those were the days of wildcat money. It said a man might be rich in the morning and poor by night. Wildcat then was also used for an oil well or gold mine that had almost no oil or gold in it. Dishonest developers would buy such property. Then they would sell 英语(二)第8页 共13页 54 it and leave town with the money. The buyers were left with worthless holes in the ground.

Montana State University scientist Robert Dore has been researching the water in the Pacific Ocean for almost two decades. We‘ve been going to the same spot in the Pacific Ocean, and we try and characterize long-term change in the open ocean environment. And one of the key things that we measure is CO2 levels. And we‘ve been able to record this increasing quantity of atmospheric CO2 into the ocean." Scientists expected that as atmospheric CO2 increased, more and more of the carbon dioxide would be absorbed into the ocean, affecting the chemical balance of the sea water, with a potentially harmful impact on shellfish and coral in particular. "As carbon dioxide dissolves(溶解) in the water, or seawater in this case, it forms a weak acid, carbonic acid," Dore explains. "And therefore, as the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere goes up and that exchanges with the surface seawater, it drives the pH down, and makes it more acidic." The seawater Dore and his colleagues have analyzed confirms what the theory predicts. The effect was particular striking at about 250 meters down, and again at 500 meters. Dore and his colleagues came up with two possible explanations. It could be that surface water picked up CO2 and then moved to those depths. Or there could be a biological explanation. "It‘s important to realize that the oceans are really becoming acidic. And it can have negative impacts on a whole variety of sea life from fish to coral. It‘s potentially catastrophic." 66(What can be the best title of the passage?

Fortunately, I could also make up for late homework. But as a working professional, I no longer have that luxury — any delay or mistakes in my work caused by a holiday hangover may end up being costly. The good news is that with a simple strategy in place, it won’t take much effort to return to your normal productivity level. Plan your post-holiday work schedule even before the holiday begins. This is the primary reason why I easily got back to my regular workload. As soon as the holiday was over, all I had to do was look at the schedule I prepared two weeks earlier to see what I needed to do. Without it, I would have probably spent a day or two regrouping. I have to admit that it’s wise to work a little during the holidays. If you feel that’s being too much of a killjoy, choose to work on light tasks — perhaps checking your mail or brainstorming. The point is to avoid work being overwhelming after the holidays. It doesn’t mean you’ll get up in the middle of a family gathering and start typing away in your laptop. Make yourself part of the festivities, only get some work done during times when less is happening. Stick with your normal body clock. Many people feel tired post-holidays because their body clocks have adjusted to a later waking-up time. If this has happened to you, make sure to try and reset your body clock back to suit your ideal sleeping hours before the regular workweek starts. s important to relax.

I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language — the way it can evoke(唤起)an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth. Language is the tool of my trade. And I use them all—all the Englishes I grew up with. Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California, I’ve been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like others, I have described it to people as ―broken‖ English. But I feel embarrassed to say that. It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than ―broken‖, as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness. I’ve heard other terms used, ―limited English,‖ for example. But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including people’s perceptions (认识) of the limited English speaker. I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mother’s ―limited‖ English limited my perception of her. I was ashamed of her English. I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say. That is, because she 英语(二)第8页 共13页 60 expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect. And I had plenty of evidence to support me: the fact that people in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her. I started writing fiction in 1985. And for reasons I won’t get into today, I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with: the English she used with me, which for lack of a better term might be described as ―broken‖, and what I imagine to be her translation of her Chinese, her internal ( .

It all translates to a fundamental change in the way we work. Already we’re partly there, the percentage of people who earn their living by making things has fallen dramatically in the Western World. Today the majority of jobs in America, Europe and Japan are in the service industry, and the number is on the rise. More women are in the work force than ever before. There are more part-time jobs. More people are self-employed. But the range of the economic transformation can’t be measured by numbers alone, because it also is giving rise to important new way of thinking about the nature of work itself. Long-held ideas about jobs and careers, the skills needed to succeed, even the relation between individuals and employers — all these are being challenged. 英语(二)第8页 共13页 61 B. she is fascinated by languages D. she is a writer by profession D. 62.

No one looking ahead 20 years possibly could have foreseen the ways in which a single invention, the chip, would transform our world thanks to its applications in personal computers, digital communications and factory robots. Tomorrow’s achievements in biotechnology, artificial intelligence or even some still unimagined technology could produce a similar wave of dramatic changes. But one thing is certain: information and knowledge will become even more valid, and the people who possess it, whether they work in manufacturing or services, will have the advantage and produce the wealth. Computer knowledge will become as basic a requirement as the ability to read and write. The ability to solve problems by applying information instead of performing routine tasks will be valued above all else. If you cast your mind ahead 10 years, information service will be superior. It will be the way you do your job. 66. A characteristic of the new age mentioned in the passage is that . A. the service industry mainly relies on females B. manufacturing industries are steadily increasing C. more people are in the service industry than before D. the work in the service industry is more comfortable than that in manufacturing industry 67.

Earlier research had already established that the gene known as 5-HTTLPR plays 英语(二)第8页 共13页 62 a key role in determining how the neurotransmitter (神经传递素) serotonin works within the brain. Serotonin, a hormone (荷尔蒙), passes chemical messages between nerve cells. It has been closely linked to mood. Several anti-depressant (抗抑郁) drugs regulate serotonin levels. Scientists had also identified three variants (变体) of the gene. Two so-called ―short‖ variants were linked to a higher risk of depression and suicide (自杀) attempts. Unlike the two ―short‖ variants, the ―long‖ variant of 5-HTTLPR showed a clear dislike of negative images, such as fierce animals, and a clear liking for positive ones, such as flowers. Researchers from the University of Essex in Britain showed participants a series of images, which were divided into three kinds: negative ones aimed at inspiring fear or stress such as a snake or person about to commit suicide, pleasant ones and neutral (中性的) ones. The participants who had the long variant of the 5-HTTLPR gene ―showed a clear dislike of negative material alongside a careful attention for positive material,‖ the researchers found. They paid close attention to the pretty pictures, and ignored the frightening ones. On the other hand, the short variant groups had the opposite reaction. In January, the Australian government organized ―happiness workshops‖, teaching government staff how to be happy. The department that held the ―happiness workshops‖ said unhappy staff weren’t productive staff. Australian political opposition parties have argued that the ―happiness workshops‖ are probably a waste of money and couldn’t increase productivity as intended. However, whether the workshop will have a happy or disappointing result, we will have to wait and see. 71. Various kinds of images were shown to the participants to . A. draw their attention B. cater to their different tastes C. find out about their reactions D. teach them to improve their artistic appreciation 72. The ―short‖ variants of 5-HTTLPR differ from the ―long‖ variants of 5-HTTLPR in that . A. the former is connected with positive mood while the latter negative B. the former is connected with negative mood while the latter positive C. the former has a greater effect on one’s mood than the latter D. the latter has a greater effect on one’s mood than the former 73. Which of the following statements is true about ―happiness workshops‖? A. Most people believe that they are a waste of money. B. They will be beneficial in the long run. C.

Shanghai Daily reports that ―anchors at China Central Television [CCTV] have been banned from saying the English acronyms NBA, CBA, GDP, and the like in their programs.‖ The replacement for those handy acronyms? Chinese presenters must use the full Chinese name, standardized by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television. Although CCTV (oops, we mean China Central Television) presenters must already have a score of at least 94 in their government-rated oral Mandarin proficiency exam, saying the full name of organizations like the CBA or WTO , 10 and 6 character’s long separately , is sure to challenge even the most skillful anchors. CCTV sports anchor Sun Zhengping tells Shanghai Daily, ―A full Chinese explanation of the English initials must be followed if my tongue slips. It is a little trouble but a necessary one because not every audience member can understand the initials.‖ Although the government isn’t giving any official explanation for the shift, it is believed to have to do with a proposal by Huang Youyi, director of the China International Publishing Group, at March’s NPC meeting. In his speech, Huang said, ―With more and more publications mixing Chinese with English, measures and regulations should be adopted to avoid English invading Chinese. If we don’t pay attention and don’t take measures to stop the expansion of mixing Chinese with English, Chinese won’t be a pure language in a couple of years.‖ Although China is far from the first country to take measures to protect local languages (the French and Québécois beat them to it by a long way), acronyms are more about saving time than they are about corrupting a language, we would think. Good luck to the CCTV anchors. 56. CCTV anchors have to ―do some fast talking‖ because they can no longer ______.

The city‘s first-of-its-kind charity shop, owned by Nathan Zhang, sells Chinese handicrafts along with used books, clothes and other items. The concept is that money from what is sold is donated to help rural (农村的) women in China. ―Many NGOs (non-governmental organizations) produce their own things but don‘t have a place to sell it,‖ said Zhang, who returned to Beijing in 2008 after working in Canada for nearly a decade in the telecommunications world. ―A rural women‘s group tried to open a little shop but only sold two things. When they put their products in my shop, everything sold out.‖ Located in Wudaoying Hutong in Dongcheng district, Brand Nu‘s walls are lined with handicrafts from a number of different NGO supported projects aimed at benefiting women across the country. The other half of the space is filled with almost brand-new clothes that have been donated from Beijing citizens. The jackets, dresses, tops and pants sell for around 30 yuan ($4.40) each. Most of the money Brand Nu gets goes directly to the Beijing Cultural Development Center for Rural Women. The NGO offers a number of programs for poor women, including literacy classes (识字班), support networks and mental health education. Zhang is also working with a local Scottish designer to create a clothing line made from the fabric (织物) of second-hand garments. And he is collecting books and raising money to help the NGO build a library near Beijing. He plans on expanding his product line soon as well, engaging more disadvantaged women to make sweaters, soaps and other items that he can sell in Beijing to help raise their socioeconomic status in the countryside. Yet with ambitions come worries. Right now Zhang is operating on a shoestring budget and looking for work on the side to support both his business and his family. ―I wanted to do something meaningful,‖ said Zhang. ―If you can help one woman, you can help an entire family.‖ 英语(二)第8页 共13页 65 61.

Researchers found the average Briton tells on average four lies every day or almost 1500 every year. Almost one in six men admitted they were most likely to lie to their wife or girlfriend, on average at least twice a day. The most popular lie was saying you had no mobile phone signal, with one in four people admitting regularly using the little white lie. It usually came after they hit the ―ignore" button when their mobile rang. Three quarters of people think women are better liars. The research found 46 per cent of girls have been caught lying, compared to 58 of men. The second most common fib(无关紧要的谎言) is ―I haven‘t got any cash on me‖ when asked for money by tramps (流浪者), beggars and Big Issue sellers. ―Nothing‘s wrong – I‘m fine‖ came third followed by ―You look lovely‖ and ―Nice to see you‖. Modern technology turned out to have contributed to many lies with ―I didn‘t get your text‖ in 18th, ―Our server was down‖ in 20th and ―My battery died‖ in 26th place. Other lies to make the top ten included ―I‘ll give you a ring‖, ―We‘re just good friends‖ and ―We‘ll have to meet up soon‖. ―I‘m on my way‖ and ―No, your bum doesn‘t look big in that‖ completed the top ten. 共13页 66 英语(二)第8页 Men tell the most fibs, coming out with five every day compared to women who lie just three times. In many cases perhaps it is better to flatter with a fib than destroy someone with the truth, according to a spokesman for OnePoll, which carried out the research of 4,300 adults. 66.

Just as the American social philosopher (哲学家) Lewis Mumford put it, it is a special system which, fine and compact, has been designed to preserve the fruits of human civilization. Many Western languages have developed their versions of the term ―civilization‖ from the same Latin (拉丁语的) word ―civitas‖(meaning ―city‖ ), and it is by no means a coincidence. The city has played a significant role in the perfection of order in human society. Section Two The emblem, showing the image of three people , you, me, him/her holding hands together, symbolizes the big family of mankind. Inspired by the shape of the Chinese character ―世‖ (meaning the world), the design conveys the organizers‘ wish to host an Expo which is of global scale and which showcases the various urban cultures of the world. Section Three Created from the inspiration of Chinese character ―人‖, the design roots deeply in Chinese culture. It tells the world the eternal core (永恒的核心) and theme of 英语(二)第8页 共13页 67 Shanghai World Expo will be always human. The mascot ―Haibao‖ will become the messenger for the theme of World Expo 2010 Shanghai China ―Better City, Better Life‖. The basic structure of the Chinese character ―人‖ in which each stroke supports each other also shows the concept that the beautiful life should depends on mutual-help. If the human are willing to support one another, the harmony among human, nature, and society will be available. Such an urban life will be nice. Haibao’s confident smile is expressing his sincere greeting from China , ―World Expo 2010 Shanghai China welcomes you!‖ 71. Section One mainly tells about ______.

A. one of the ideas a word has B. a line made by a writing tool D. a person who has met with C. a member of a family or the society trouble 30.山东省济宁市2010届高三一模英语A Nick Campbell sat at the side of the road and wondered what to do next. He looked at the second-hand Harley Davidson he’d bought from a back-street garage back home in Miami at the beginning of his trip six weeks before. 英语(二)第8页 共13页 68 For years he had dreams of crossing the United States from east to west by motorbike and he’d finally decided that it was now or never. He’d given up his job, sold his car and set off for the journey of his dreams. He’d been lucky, or so he thought, to find this old Harley Davidson and had bought it for a very reasonable it had cost him just $600. But five kilometers from Atlanta, he had run out price------ of luck. The motorbike had broken down. He pushed the bike into town and found a garage. The young mechanic told him to leave the bike overnight and come back the next day. The following morning, to his surprise, the man asked if the bike was for sale. ―Certainly not,‖ he replied, paid his bill and hit the road. When he got to Kansas the old machine ran out of steam again. This time Nick thought about selling it and buying something more reliable, but decided to carry on. When the bike was going well, he loved it. However, in Denver, Colorado the bike broke down again so he decided to take it to a garage and offer it for sale. The mechanic told him to come back in the morning. The next day, to his amazement, the man offered him $2,000. Realizing the man must be soft in the head, but clearly not short of money, Nick asked for $ 3,000. The man agreed and they signed the papers. Then the mechanic started laughing. In fact it was several minutes before he could speak and when he could he said, ―That’s the worst deal you’ll ever make, boy." He removed the seat. On the underside was the inscription (铭文): ?To Elvis, love James Dean. ? 56. Harley Davidson here refers to a _________. A. car B. truck C. garage D. motorbike 57.

When the Persian army marched into northern Greece, the Greek states, led by Athens and Sparta, were ill equipped to deal with the threat. The Persians were well supplied with food and weapons. Their army included infantry, cavalry, and a large navy. It seemed that they would easily defeat the Greeks. The Greek allies decided to send 10,000 men northwards to slow down the Persians, while the rest prepared to defend their homelands. A group of 300 best Spartan soldiers were chosen to lead the force going north, with Leonidas in command. Leonidas realized that the only hope of slowing the Persians would be to block the narrow passage of land at Thermopylae. The Pass of 英语(二)第8页 共13页 69 Thermopylae was the route between the mountains and the sea, and was so narrow that only a few men could get through at a time. When the Persian army arrived at Thermopylae, they found Leonidas‘ tiny army opposing them. The Persians attacked, but could not get through. They attacked again and again, but each time they were driven back by the Greeks, led by the fearless Spartans. Leonidas‘ plan worked well until a Greek traitor called Ephialtes went m Xerxes. He told the Persian king about a goat‘s path in the mountains that would take the Persian army past Thermopylae. When Leonidas saw the enemy crossing the mountains, he realized that he could no longer hold Thermopylae. He sent all the Greek soldiers except the 300 Spartans back to their homelands. The Spartans waited for the 500,000 Persians at the goat’s path. Although hopelessly outnumbered, the Spartans fought bravely. They all died, but the other Greeks were able to get home to strengthen the defenses. 61. Compared with the Persian army, the Greek allies were very________. A. powerful B. wise C. weak D. foolish 62.

Why did Leonidas send most of his soldiers back to their homelands? A. Because their homelands were under attack. B. Because he found they were not brave enough. C. Because the Persians gave up attacking Thermopylae. D. Because he found it impossible to hold Thermopylae. 64. Which of the following is NOT ture according to the passage? A. Leonidas was a great commander. B. The Persians failed to pass Thermopylae. C. Ephialtes betrayed his own country. D. The 300 Spatans would be regarded as heroes by the Greeks. 65. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. The Greek Allies B. The Goat’s Path C. The King of Persia D. Xerxes and Ephialtes 30.山东省济宁市2010届高三一模英语C None of our early ancestors could digest milk as adults because their bodies never had to ----milk drinking simply wasn’t an option. As people began to extract milk from animals, though, some people developed the ability to keep drinking it throughout their lives. Scientists now know of a milk-related mutation ( 变异) in our genes -- the chemical instructions for life that we carry in almost every cell in our bodies. People who have a mutated form of one particular gene can drink milk just fine. People without the mutation tend to get sick from milk. To figure out where, and possibly why, milk drinking started, some scientists have been looking at who has the milk-digesting mutation today. Patterns are 英语(二)第8页 共13页 70 striking. Most adults in Northern and Central Europe are able to digest milk -- and they do. Cheese and butter and other dairy products are popular in countries such as Sweden, Denmark, Germany and England. Because European settlers dominated North America, most people here can handle milk just fine, as well. That may explain why ice cream is such a popular dessert in the United States. In much of Africa, Asia and South America, on the other hand, people tend to avoid dairy products because they lead to diarrhea (腹泻) and other stomach problems. s why you won’t typically find cheese on the menu at a Chinese, Japanese or (That’ Ethiopian restaurant.) Native Americans are also unable to digest milk. Based on these genetic patterns, scientists have long thought that- milk drinking started inNorthern Europe, where dairy is an institution and the milk-digesting mutation is everywhere. A recent study painted a different picture. With a computer medal, Thomas and colleagues looked at the spread of the milk-drinking mutation, farming and other related factor. Working backward, the scientists concluded that the first milk-thinkers lived in Central Europe around what’s now Hungary about 7,500 years ago. The practice didn‘t start farther north, as scientists had thought before. 66. Which of the following is the proper order of events according to the passage? a. Their children were able to digest milk as adults. b. They got sick from the milk. c. Some people got a mutation in their genes. d. Some people tried drinking milk from animals. e. Some people started to drink milk from animals on a regular basis. A. c?d?b?e?a B. d?e?b?c?a C. d ?b?e?c?a D. e?d?b?c?a 67. Most people in the USA can digest milk because __________. A. they have strong stomachs B. their ancestors were Europeans C. that’s where milk drinking stinted D. farmers raise a lot of cows there 68. Which of the following is LEAST likely to appear on the menu in a Japanese restaurant? A. Butter. B. Vinegar. C. Fish. D. Beef. 69. Which of the following is the author most likely to agree with? A. Milk drinking first started in Northern Europe. B. Milk drinking first started in Central Europe. C. North American Indians were able to digest milk. D.
