In the ditches (沟渠) along the highway I traveled daily to work, some particular blue flowers would __36 me and 37 in the morning did they bloom, because the afternoon sunlight was 38 hot for them. Every day for about two weeks, I 39 those charming flowers.This spring, I started a wildflower garden in our yard. I could 40 the kitchen window while doing some 41 and see the flowers. I would think that those lovely blue flowers from the ditch would look great in that garden 42 other wildflowers. Every day I 43 the flowers thinking, “I’ll stop on my way home and dig them.” “Gee, I don’t want to get my good clothes 44 .” Whatever the reason, I never 45 to dig them. My husband even put a folding shovel (折叠铲) in the trunk (后备箱) of my car to be used 46 that expressed purpose.One day on my way home from work, I was 47 to see that the highway department had 48 the ditches with earth and the pretty blue flowers were gone. I thought to myself, “You fool! You waited too long. You 49 have done it when you first saw them blooming this spring.”A week ago we were 50 to learn that my oldest sister-in-law had had a terminal lung cancer. She is 20 years older than my husband and unfortunately, 51 age and distance, we haven’t been as 52 as we all would have liked. I couldn’t help 53 compare the connection between the pretty blue flowers and me with the relationship between my 54 sister and us. I do believe that God has given us some time left to plant some wonderful memories that will bloom every year for us. And yes, 55 I see the blue flowers again, I’m sure that I’ll stop to transplant them to my wildflower garden.36. A. advise B. abandon C. annoy D. attract37. A. finally B. only C. just D. exactly38.

There are some people, however, who believe they can sense when a major geological (地质学上的) event is coming. They claim to be “earthquake sensitive.”Sensitivity to the earth’s movements, according to those who say they have it, is revealed in different ways. Some say they are unusually clumsy and keep dropping things and having small ac cidents just before a big event. Others suddenly have a strong desire to eat popcorn, and don’t know why. Though it may sound crazy, they say it tells them that a big earthquake is less than 24 hours away.The most common sign of an approaching disaster among earthquake sensitive people is said to be a bad headache. Arguably the first person to connect her own headaches to coming geological events was an American woman called Charlotte King. She became famous for her prediction of the eruption of Washingt on’s Mt. St. Helens on May 18, 1980, when she was accurate to within 12 minutes of the actual event.King was tested by doctors and scientists and found to possess unusual hearing abilities. She could hear sounds in frequencies that most human beings cannot, and claimed to have been hearing such sounds since 1976. Three years later, she noticed that when the sounds changed in pitch or rhythm, giving her unpleasant headaches, a large earthquake would be reported within 72 hours.1. It is stated in the first paragraph that there may be _______.A. people who are better than machines at sensing earthquake activityB. people who are developing new methods of preventing earthquakesC. new machines that will soon be able to accurately predict earthquakesD. new machines to help earthquake sensitive people make predictions2. What word best describes the type of sensitivity referred to in the passage?A. Medical.B. Technological.C. Geological.D. Musical.3. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a sign of an approaching earthquake?A. An urge to eat popcorn.B. A tendency to drop things.C. A painful headache.D. A very loud noise.4. Charlotte King became well known because she _______.A. timed an earthquake to within 12 minutesB. correctly predicted a big volcanic eruptionC. can make sounds other people cannot hearD. is smarter than many doctors and scientistsKey: ACDB(B)According to the latest research in the United States of America, men and women talk such different languages that it is like people from two different cultures trying to communicate. Professor Deborah Tannen of Georgetown University has noticed the difference in the style of boys’ and girls’ conversations from an early age. She says that little girls’ conversation is less definite than boys’ and expresses more doubts. Little boys use conversation to establish status with their listeners.These differences continue into adult life, she says. In public conversations, men talk most and interrupt other speakers more. In private conversations, men and women speak in equal amounts—although they say things in a different style. Professor Tannen believes that, for women, private talking is a way to establish and test intimacy（亲密，亲近）. For men, private talking is a way to explore the power structure of a relationship.Teaching is one job where the differences between men’s and women’s ways of talking show. When a man teaches a woman, says Professor Tannen, he wants to show that he has more knowledge, and hence（因此，所以）more power in conversation. When a woman teaches another woman, however, she is more likely to take a sharing approach and to encourage her student to join in.But Professor Tannen does not believe that women are naturally more helpful. She says women feel they achieve power by being able to help others. Although the research suggests men talk and interrupt people more than women, Professor Tannen says, women actually encourage this to happen because they believe it will lead to more intimacy and help to establish a relationship.Some scientists who are studying speech think that the brain is pre-programmed for language. As we are usually taught to speak by women, it seems likely that the brain must have a sexual bias（倾向性）in its programming, otherwise male speech patterns would not arise at all.5.In the opinion of the writer, women encourage men to talk more because .A. it will lead to more intimacy and help to establish a relationshipB. it well help to establish status with their listenersC. it well help to express more clearlyD. it well help to communicate better6.There are in little girls’ conversation than in boys’.A. fewer doubtsB. more demandsC. more doubtsD. fewer uncertainties7.Some scientists believe that brain is pre-programmed for language. The word“pre-programmed” means .A. programmed alreadyB. programmed before one is bornC. programmed earlyD. programmed by women8.In private conversation, women speak .A. the same things as menB. less than menC. more than menD. as much as men9.The theme of this article is .A. women are naturally more helpfulB. men and women talk different languagesC. men talk most and interrupt other speakers moreD. little girls’ conversation is less definiteKey: ACBDB(C)The Diet Zone: A Dangerous PlaceDiet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet… We are surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracte d by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically（身体上）.Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale（秤）instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food labels.On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don’t have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients(营养成分). Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemical that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological harm that comes from using them.10. From Paragraph 1, we learn that ________.A. diet products fail to bring out people’s potentialB. people have difficulty in choosing diet productsC. diet products are misleading peopleD. people are fed up with diet products11.

Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?Key: CDABB(D)Growing up on an isolated tobacco farm in rural Virginia in the early '50s, Ella Avery was accustomed to hard times. When she was seven, her family's farmhouse burned to the ground, and they lost everything. Her father dragged an old chicken coop up to the smokehouse and improvised a makeshift homestead that sheltered the family for over a year. Eight people slept in two beds.After a new house was finally built, officials periodically showed up to nail a sign on the old oak tree at the edge of the property. The message was ominous: "This farm will be sold at public auction to satisfy delinquent payments." Her father always managed to borrow enough to fend off disaster, but Ella's fear never went away. "I grew up," she says, "with a sense of impending loss."Ella would find her salvation in school, even as a C student, thanks to one teacher. It was Mr.Miller who encouraged her to think about life beyond that tobacco farm. And now it is Ella who's finding ways to help and inspire others.As soon as Ella and her four brothers and two sisters were big enough to carry a bucket, they were out in the fields. "I did everything there was to do," she recalls. "Tobacco stringer, leaf handler, planter, water boy." Depending on the season, the children were up at daybreak to work before school, then back in the fields until sundown.The local school board operated a one-room schoolhouse on the family land. From grades one to five, the Averys and neighbor children in Meredithville, a tiny community 20 miles from the North Carolina border, all had one teacher. In the school's single room, little huddles of desks represented each class. "It was grand and glorious to me," says Ella.But when she moved on to middle school in a nearby town, Ella was alarmingly behind her new classmates. Not knowing her times tables, she was paralyzed with fear that the teacher who smacked students' hands with a yardstick would call on her. Ella kept her head down, trying not to be noticed, struggling to catch up and feeling like an outsider.At James Solomon Russell High School in Lawrenceville, nine miles from the tobacco farm, things got worse. Schools in the South were still segregated, and Ella claims she experienced the worst discrimination of her life from black students with lighter skin and longer hair. "They were the cheerleaders and majorettes, the ones on the honor roll," she says. "I was one of those dark-skinned country children who didn't matter." Ella plugged along, rarely achieving a grade above C plus.Then one day in biology class, when Ella was 15, a teacher named Mr. Miller changed everything. "He'd had polio as a child and walked with a limp. I think he had felt the ostracism and indifference I had felt," she says. Looking his students in the eye, Mr. Miller spoke passionately. "Just because you are not an honor roll student," he said, "does not mean you do not have a valuable contribution to make. The backbone of our society is the good, solid-C student. Some of you have to work the fields in the evening and do not have the time to study. But if you do your best, you have a gift to give."Until then, Ella had set her sights no higher than cosmetology school, though she found nothing about it exciting. But Mr. Miller's words resonated with her. "I believed him. And I kept thinking about it. He said if you were a solid C, you could do well. I was a solid C."An announcement was made one morning directing all college-bound students to report to the cafeteria to take a test for scholarships. Ella impulsively stood up. Behind her, she heard someone say, "Are you going to college, Ella Avery?" Without missing a beat, she turned around. "Yes, I am," she said, and walked out the door.When the results came back, Ella had won a scholarship to nearby St. Paul's College, one of 39 historically black institutions supported by the United Negro College Fund (UNCF), an organization dedicated to reducing financial barriers to higher education. Ella could barely believe it. "This was the turning point of my whole life," she says. "I got my foot in the door. It gave me a great sense of confidence." Her father had left school after the third grade; her motherhad finished the seventh.College wasn't easy. At the end of the first semester, Ella lost her scholarship after doing poorly on a world-history exam. But she didn't give up. She applied for student loans and worked two jobs: in the nursery school on campus during the week and in a barbecue spot all weekend. In the summers, she taught in the Head Start program and worked at an officers' club on a military base.Ella graduated with a degree in elementary education on a Sunday in May 1967. Her proud family gave her a small suitcase, which she still has, as a graduation gift. That afternoon, she packed it and hitched a ride to Washington, D.C. On Monday morning, she went downtown to the school board and got a job in the public school system.At the end of her first year, Ella entered the graduate program at George Washington University and continued to teach. "All my education until then had been segregated," she says. "I needed to prove to myself that I could compete with anyone." She received a master's in education in 1970, the same year she married Ron Smothers, an Army man stationed at the Pentagon. After he left the military, he joined Burger King Corporation as a district manager. Over the next six years, Ella gave birth to two sons and taught in public schools in Miami; Royal Oak, Michigan; and San Diego. In 1976, after saving $10,000, the family opened its first Burger King in Los Angeles. Eventually Ella stopped teaching, and the couple expanded to six restaurants.When they divorced, in 1992, Ella was left with two of the franchises, including one in the troubled Watts section of L.A. "I was determined to turn it around," she says, "and I did. Now it's one of my best-performing restaurants." She has since expanded to seven restaurants; this year, she will open the first of ten El Pollo Loco restaurants in the Norfolk area of her home state, Virginia.In gratitude for what she has been able to achieve, Ella donates to St. Paul's College and the UNCF. And -- no surprise -- she is an ardent champion of the C student. It troubles her that the civic organizations and professional societies she belongs to inevitably choose honor students to receive scholarships. "These students will go on to college," she says. "The ones I want to help are the solid-C students, like I was, who just need help and direction. These are the ones we are losing. That's why any deserving employee in any of my Burger King restaurants who registers for college and needs help paying for it will get help."Nothing pleases her more than writing a check for $1,000 to cover books and other expenses. Ella has no idea how much money she's given away. She's more interested in helping others achieve. When a young employee was left paraplegic and depressed after a car accident, Ella gave her a computer and an office job and refused to let her drop out of college. Today, Rocio Magdaleno is a first-grade teacher."I don't know what happened to Mr. Miller," Ella says today, 48 years after sitting in his classroom. "But he was right."15. Which of the following is true?A. Ella was a C student because she was not clever.B. Both of her parents were college students.C. Ella always won her scholarship in St. Paul's CollegeD. Ella is willing to help any of her employees in need who wants to go to college.16. What was the turning point of her whole life?A. That she had the chance go to St. Paul's College sponsored by the United Negro CollegeFundB. That Her father dragged an old chicken coop up to the smokehouse and improvised amakeshift homesteadC. That the family opened its first Burger King in Los Angeles in 1976.D. That she had to do several part-time jobs in St. Paul's College.17.

One day he told his wife he was so 17 with the city that he had to leave.So his family moved to another city. It was the evening of a weekend. When Terry and his wife were busily 18 up their new home, the light suddenly 19 . Terry was regretful to have forgotten bringing along 20 and had to wait 21 in a low mood. Just then he heard light, hesitant 22 on his door that were clearly audible (听到) in the 23 night.“Who’s it?” he wondered, since Terry was a 24 to this city. And this was the moment he especially hated to be 25 , so he went to the door and opened it 26 . At the door was a little girl, shyly asking, “Sir, do you have candles? I’m your neighbor.” “No,” answered Terry in anger and shut the door 27 . “What a nuisance（讨厌）!” he complained over it with his wife. “No sooner had we settled down than the neighbor came to 28 things.”After a while, the door was knocked again. He opened it and found the same girl outside.29 this time she was 30 two candles, saying, “My grandma told me the new neighbor downstairs might need candles. She 31 me here to give you these.” Terry was very 32 by what he saw.At that moment he suddenly realized what caused his 33 in life. It was his 34 and harshness (刻薄) with other people. The person who had cheated him in life was 35 nobody else but himself, for his eyes had been blurred (蒙蔽) by his unsympathetic mind.16. A. complaining B. reflecting C. praying D. pretending17.

The Soufriere Hill V olcano on the island of Montserrat in the Caribbean began to erupt in July, 2000. It had been inactive on this British island in the West Indies for nearly 1000 years. Suddenly, on August 21, it released steam and a cloud of ash over 7,000 feet into the air. The nearby capital city, Plymouth, was covered with darkness for half an hour from the cloud.More than 300 active volcanoes are located around the Pacific Ocean alone, from Chile to Alaska, to Japan, and to New Zealand. Volcanoes are continuing to form islands such as Hawaiian Islands, the Mariana Islands in the western Pacific, and islands in the Caribbean. Eleven major active volcanoes form the Cascade Range in the northwestern United States. When these land volcanoes erupt, as Mt. St. Helens in the Cascades did in 1980, it is the result of the plates (板块) of the earth slipping and sliding(滑行). As they move, these huge plates create pre ssure far below the earth’s surface.Deep inside the earth, hot molten(溶化的) rock mixes with gas to create magma（岩浆）. Magma collects in chambers, which are spaces between rocks inside the earth. Gradually, the magma begins to rise as it is pressed by the rocks. It rises through an opening, or shaft, in the weakened rock above. As the magma gets near the surface, gas is released and sends magma, dust, and rock out of the crater, or top of the volcano. This stream of volcanic matter is the actual eruption.Most volcanoes erupt straight up through the top. Mt. Vesuvius, the volcano in Italy that destroyed the city of Pompeii in A.D. 79, erupted this way. However, some volcanoes, such as Mt. St. Helens, erupt laterally(横向地) or through side vents(通风孔). Lateral eruptions are very destructive because large areas of mountain are blown away. Either way, underground water springs out sharply and creates raging streams. Magma reaches the surface and is now calledlava. Waves of it flow down the slopes (斜坡), burying the surrounding valleys.It takes millions of years for volcanoes to form. It takes hundreds more for them to build up to an eruption. Yet, in a matter of seconds, a volcano can blow apart in an angry roar of incredible destruction(破坏力).68. Which of the term(术语)explanation about the volcano is correct?A. Magma is the space between the rock where molten rock and gas mixture collects.B. Crater is the opening on the side of a V olcano.C. The opening at the top is called a shaft.D. Lava is the superheated mixture of gas and melted rock that flows down the slopes.69. When Mt. St. Helens erupts, ____.A. it erupts straight up through the craterB. it will take another million years to erupt againC. it is the result of the plates slipping and slidingD. It will form a new island70. What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph about Mt. Vesuvius?A. It was very destructive in eruption.B. It erupts through side vents.C. It has been silent since 79 A.D. D. Its eruption is a typical lateral one.71. According to the passage, volcanoes erupt when____.A. the Earth creates too much magmaB. they are activated by an outside force.C. the huge plates create pressure far below the earth’s surfac eD. Magma in the chambers rises through shafts in the weakened rocksKey: 68-71DCAD(B)The church seems cold this morning, even after all the people, friends and family fill the benches. I sit here in silence, in shock and denial. This was not supposed to happen. What about our dreams, or our plans? We were going to raise our children, travel around the world, and grow old together. I’m only 37, a typical housewife. I don’t know if I can do all this alone—two children, no father. What do I do or say?The faces of so many people confuse me as they come to pay their last respects. Some have real sorrow; I can see it in their eyes. The others seem to just say. “I told you so.” Those famous last words: I—told—you—so. How I can’t stand them. And the pointing fingers as so-called family and so-called friends pick me out of the crowd for others to see. I want to scream and wake up but I can’t do anything but sit there. How can they be so blind? I fell in love with a man. Love knows no boundaries.He was a good man, hardworking, caring and kind. He was retired from the Navy and a gentleman. He was sensitive to others’ needs, the kind of man that knew what to do or say, how to humor any situation and calm everyone’s fears. I remember our first child was a big surp rise to both of us. I remember when I told him the news. He fell off his chair, saying over and over in disbelief. “But I’m almost sixty.” After a few months he started planning our next and even doing his famous little dance whenever he discussed the idea.A man, thirty years older than I, lies in a coffin. Flowers, the American flag and his VFW comrades surround him, paying tribute(颂词) to him as the man he really was. And I sit alone here, with our two children, in silence, praying that his cold morning at church is only a nightmare(梦魇) and I will awake to his loving arms again.Our son, our first born, his joy and pride, sits to the right of me, seeming just as confused as me. I look over at him. How he looks like his father—blonde hair, tall and skinny—even his Irish temperament(气质) and that naughty look in his eyes. He’s wearing his father’s watch. It’s too big for him but he refus ed to take it off. I know he’ll keep it safe. Our second, the little angel and Daddy’s little girl, lies in her stroller(婴儿车) in the aisle, sound asleep. She’ll never remember the man she called “Da”.63. The man passed away, leaving his dearest woman to bring up their two children, the elder of whom is a boy of about _________.A. 1B.3C.7D.964. The last paragraph, which is italicized(斜体的), does not lie where it originally was. It’sbetter for it to go back _________.A. between Paragraph 1 and Paragraph 2B. between Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3C. between Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4D. to the very front65. We can infer from the passage that ___________.A. the woman’s family were against her marriage to the manB. none of the people there showed real sympathy to the womanC. the woman did something wrongD. the family had lived a happy life before the man died66. In paragraph 3, the underlined word “our next” means _________.A. our next danceB. our next newsC. what for us to do nextD. our next babyKey: CCDD(C)You are enrolled in a full –time school called “life”. Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or hate them, but you have designed them as part of your curriculum.Why are you here? What is your purpose? Humans have sought to discover the meaning of life for a very long time. What we and our ancestors have overlooked, however, is that there is no one answer. The meaning of life is different for every individual.Each person has his or her own purpose and distinct path, unique and separate from anyone else’s. As you travel your life path, you will be presented with numerous lessons that you will need to learn in order to fulfill that purpose. The lessons you are presented with are specific to you; learning these lessons is the key to discovering and fulfilling the meaning and connection of your own life.As you travel through your lifetime, you may encounter challenging lessons that othersdon’t have to face, while other spend years struggling with challenges that you don’t need to deal with. You may never know why you are blessed with a wonderful marriage, while your friends suffer through bitter arguments and painful divorces, just as you cannot be sure why you struggle financially while your peers enjoy abundance. The only thing you can count on for certain is that you will be presented with all the lessons that you specifically need to learn; whether you choose to learn them or not is entirely up to you.The challenge here, therefore, is to align (与……保持一致) yourself with your own unique path by learning individual lessons. This is one of the most difficult challenges you will be face with in your lifetim e, as sometimes your path will be completely different from others’. But, remember, don’t compare your path to the people around you and focus on the difference between their lessons and yours. You need to remember that you will only be faced with lessons that you are capable of learning and are specific to your own growth.Our sense of fairness is the expectation of equality – the assumption that all things are equal and justice will always prevail. Life is not, in fact, fair, and you may indeed have a more difficult life path than others around you, deserved or not. Everyone’s circumstances are unique, and everyone needs to handle his or her own circumstances differently. If you want to move toward calm, you will be required to move out of the complai ning phase of “it’s not fair”. Focusing on the unfairness of circumstances keeps you comparing yourself with others rather than appreciating your own special uniqueness. You miss out on learning your individual lessons by distracting yourself with feelings of bitterness and anger.71．Life is called a full – time school, because .A．it is full of all lessons to learnB．you have plenty of time to learn lessonsC．you meet with specific lessons every dayD．there are so many subjects for you to choose72．According to the passage, how can the meaning of your life be realized?A．Having the same opinions as others.B．Taking the distinct path from others.C．Learning the lessons presented to you.D．Doing the different things from others.73．From the passage we can conclude .A．everyone has his own track to followB．the same things usually happen to the peersC．a painful divorce must lie in financial problemsD．a wealthy man must have a wonderful marriage74．In your lifetime, the lessons you are faced with .A．are beyond your power B．keep you from growthC．limit your development D．help you with your success75．Which of the following is TRUE?A．All things are equal and justice will always prevail.B．You should learn to appreciate your specific uniqueness.C．One has to fix his mind on unfairness of circumstances.D．You have to complain “it’s not fair” whenever possible.Key: 71—75 CCADB(D)Let’s step back in time. As a child whose family lives along the Nile thousands of yea rs ago, your name would be made up of several words. Each morning you would wake up to the sun-not an alarm clock-and start the day with prayer to the main god of your town. You would wear good luck charms to make things go well and make the gods happy.After a big breakfast, which has to last you until the evening meal, you would go to work with your parents. Boys would go with their fathers and girls with their mothers, learning the jobs their parents did and helping them with their work. Only scribes and doctors went to school. When payday comes, your parents receive baskets full of food and clothing from the people they work for. Your family doesn’t miss having money, because there is no such thing.Boys learn the songs the men sing to make their work enjoyable. Girls and women are often musicians and gymnasts, celebrating life through music and dance.When harvest time comes, everyone helps in the field. Girls toss grain and corn high in to the wind to clean it. Boys bundle crops and put them inside baskets. There is lots of work to do in old Egypt, but also time for play. On the way back from the fields you might stop for a swim in the Nile River or one of the canals.If you were sick you would be taken to a priest in the temple called The House of Life. The priest would feel your head and then his own, so he could compare the temperatures. If you were sick, he would stand over you and chant a magical spell, speaking directly to your illness. Then he might give you healing plants or potions to eat which often smelled or tasted very bad. Ancient Egyptian doctors figured that awful medicine might make the illness want to leave the child’s body. Some herbs and plants that these ancient doctors used are still used today—like drinking chamomile tea for an upset stomach.Your family pet might be a little monkey that followed you around all day, a protective goose, a cat, or a dog. Pet owners would often have their pets mummified at death.Common toys in ancient Egypt were: balls made of linen rags wrapped around each other, tied with string, and painted; games like checkers; dolls made of cloth and clay; and little animal pull toys made of wood.69.

But can you combine the two to do something for your local environment? As early as next year it may well be possible. When you have finished with your mobile phone you will be able to bury it in a garden or a plant pot and wait for it to flower.A biodegradable(生物所能分解的)mobile phone was, this month, introduced by scientists. It is hoped that the new type of phone will encourage consumers to recycle.Scientists have come up with a new material over the last five years. It looks like any other plastic and can be hard or soft, and is able to change shape. Over time it can also break down into the soil without giving out any poisonous chemicals. British researchers used the new material to develop a phone cover that contains a sunflower seed. When this new type of cover turns into waste, it forms fertilizers. These feed the seed and help the flower grow.Engineers have designed a small transparent(透明的)window to hold the seed. They have made sure it only grows when the phone is thrown away. “We’ve only put sunflower seeds intothe covers so far. But we are working with plant experts to find out which flowers would perform best. Maybe we could put roses in next time,” said one scientist.As phone technology is developing so quickly, people are constantly throwing their mobiles away. This means manufacturers are under pressure to find ways of recycling them. Some 650 million mobile phones have been sold this year. Most of them will be thrown away within two years, adding plastic, heavy metal and chemical waste to the environment. A biodegradable cover can offer some relief(缓解)for nature , according to the scientists.“The seed comes out and the flower grows in the pot so you don’t have to concern yourself with the phone when you have finished using it,” said Kerry Kirwan. She leads the research team, which is based at the University of Warwick in Britain.77. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To tell the popularity of biodegradable cell phones.B. To persuade the reader to buy the biodegradable cell phone.C. To discuss the development of phone technology.D. To introduce an environmental-friendly cell phone to readers.78. People throw away their cell phones most probably because .A. there is something wrong with themB. no sunflowers can grow out of themC. they are out of fashionD. they are becoming cheaper and cheaper79. It could be learned from the passage that .A. developing the new type of phone is mainly to protect the environmentB. phone-makers will benefit much more from the new type of phoneC. the new type of phone will certainly be popular with users all over the worldD. the phones that can be recycled are available only in Britain now80. What might be the most suitable title for this passage?A. Sunflower and Phone.B. Plant Your Phone.C. Protect Our Environment.D. No Worry about Phone.Key: DCAB任务型阅读请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。

There was no 40 asking his parents, for he knew they had no money to 41 .There was only one way to get money, and that was to 42 it. He would have to find a job.43 who would hire him and what could he do?

Everyone has imagination, but most of us, once we become adults, forget how to 51 it. Creativity isn’t always 52 with great works of art or ideas. People at work and in their free time 53 think of creative ways to solve problems. Maybe you have a goal to achieve, a tricky question to answer or you just want to expand your mind! Here are three techniques to help you.Making connections.This technique involves taking 54 ideas and trying to find links between them. First, think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do. Then find an image, word, idea or object, for example, a candle. Write down all the idea/words 55 with candles: light, fire, matches, wax, night, silence, etc. Think of as many as you can. The next stage is to relate the 56 to the job you have to do. So imagine you want to buy a friend an original 57 ; you could buy him tickets to match or take him out for the night.NO limits!Imagine that normal limitations don’t 58 . You have as much time/space/money, etc. as you want. Think about your goal and the new 59 . If your goal is to learn to ski, 60 , you can now practise skiing every day of your life (because you have the time and the money). Now 61 this to reality. Maybe you can practise skiing ever day in December, or every Monday in January.Be someone else!Look at the situation from a 62 point of view. Good businessmen use this technique in trade, and so do writes. Fiction writers often imagine they are the 63 in their books. They ask question: What does this character want? Why can’t she get it? What changes must she make to get what she wants? If your goal involves other people, put yourself in their 64 . The best fishermen think like fish!50.

This type of mistake 22 to the fact that once we form an overall impression of somebody, it could have strong effects on our 23 of his personality. 24 , halo effect is both common and powerful. For example, most organizations contain one or more “superstars”---people who have earned the reputation for being unusually 25 and capable. Once they have gained such a “halo”, everything they do receives good26 . Ideas that would be regarded as just so-so if suggested by someone else are seen as 27 when proposed by these persons. And actions that might be considered risky if taken by others are seen as bra ve when carried out by these “chosen” men and women.As you can see, halo effect carries high costs. They may lead some persons to have an 28 high opinion of their own worth, while making things 29 for others who are equally deserving. Furthermore, by giving too much influence to persons who are not ready to receive it, and by preventing hidden talent from being 30 , they can harm organizations as well as individuals. Clearly, then, it is important to recognize the existence and impact of halo effect; only then can its harmful effect be avoided.21. A. familiar B. satisfied C. connected D. bored22.

It takes time to reach the altitude you 28 . It isn't easy, but it can be accomplished. You are today because of the 29 you made in the past.

I could 21 that he was a homeless man. His clothes were worn and it looked like he had gone in and gotten him some 22 or something warm to drink since it was cold this time of year. He couldn‟t have had enough money to get something to eat. That is not something I remember too 23 , because that is not what “moved” me.The next thing I remember is a dog that 24 up to the front of the building. Being a dog 25 , I could tell she was a she, and I could tell that she had been feeding puppies(小狗). She was 26 in need of something to eat and I felt so bad for her. My wife and I sat there and looked at her. We 27 that people walked by and did n‟t even pet her. And we also did not do anything. But someone did. The homeless man, who I 28 did not buy himself anything to eat, went back into the store. And what he did brought tears to me and my wife. He had gone into the store and with what 29 he may have had, bought a can of dog food and fed that dog.I know that this story isn‟t as inspirational as most30 , but it plays a great part in our lives. You see, that was Mother‟s Day weekend.。
