A film crew was at the Circle Five Ranch to film a Marlboro commercial. This was in 1868, before they prohibited cigarette ads from American television. Darrell Winfield was watching the crew set up the equipment. The scene included an actor crossing a river on horseback, but when the time came to shoot, the man was too drunk to ride. Someone from the crew saw Winfield and asked him if he would ride the horse for 50 dollars. "Hell," said Winfield, "for 50 bucks, I'll jumpthat damn horse over the moon!"To people in many countries, Winfield is just a familiar but nameless face, a simple cowboy with an advertising message about a connection between the West and a brand of cigarettes. Few people know that he is 55, a family man who's been married to the same woman for 37 years and has 5 children and 7 grandchildren. Most surprisingly, he's a real, working cowboy who raises horses in his ranch in Wyoming.One of the most striking things about the Marlboro Man is that success hasn't changed him much. He says that complete strangers sometimes come up to him and say, "I've met you,know you from somewhere. "Whenever it happens, he says that he gets embarrassed.(1)、Marlboro commercials were allowed on television in America before 1868.A：TB：F答案：A(2)、The word "prohibited" in the first paragraph mean "forbidden".A：TB：F答案：A(3)、When they filmed the ad, Winfield was too drunk.A：TB：F答案：B(4)、From the passage, we know that Winfield was a rich man.A：T答案：B(5)、When people recognized Winfield, he felt uncomfortable.A：TB：F答案：ALast Friday a storm tore through two villages in the New Territories destroying fourteen homes. Seven others were so badly damaged that their owners had to leave them, and fifteen others had broken windows or torn roofs. One person was killed, several were badly injured and taken to hospital, and a number of other people received smaller injuries. Altogether over two hundred people were homeless as a result of the storm.A farmer, Mr. C. Y. Tan, said that the storm began early in the morning and lasted for over an hour."I was in the kitchen with my wife and children," he said, "when we heard a loud noise. A few minutes later our house fell down on top of us, we managed to climb out but then I saw that one of my children was missing. I went back inside and found him, safe but very frightened."Mrs. Woo Mei Fong said that her husband had just left for work when she noticed that her house was shaking. She rushed outside immediately with her children."There was no time to take anything," she said. "A few minutes later, the roof came down."Soldiers helped to bring people out of the flooded area and the Welfare Department provided food, clothes and shelter.(1)、Some of the people were taken to hospital because they had been badly injured.A：TB：F答案：A(2)、When the storm first began, Mr. Tan was inside his house.A：T答案：A(3)、When Mr. Tan's house fell down, only one of his children was inside it.A：TB：F答案：A(4)、Mrs. Woo and her family escaped injury because her husband had gone to work.A：TB：F答案：B(5)、The best title for the passage would be "A Terrible Storm."A：TB：F答案：AIn 1933 an unknown American called Clarence Nash went to see the filmmaker Walt Disney. He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney's cartoon（动画片）film for children. When Walt Disney heard Nash's voice, he said,"Stop! That's our duck!"The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the film The Wise Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight-minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audience liked him because he was lazy and greedy, and because he lost his temper very quickly. And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey's eight nephews. Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn't a goody-goody like Mickey.In the 1930s, 40s and 50s Donald and his friends Mickey, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world and safety in the home. Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared---there were no more new cartoons.Clarence Nash died in February, 1985. But today's children can still see the old cartoons on television and hear that famous voice.(1)、Walt Disney made Donald Duck film.A：TB：F答案：A(2)、The first Donald Duck film was made in 1934.A：TB：F答案：A(3)、Clarence Nash was a film-maker.A：TB：F答案：B(4)、The underlined word "audience" in the second paragraph means readers.A：TB：F答案：B(5)、The underlined word "goody-goody" in the second paragraph means a person who likes to appear to be faultless in behavior.A：TB：F答案：A全套完整题库，全中文翻译内容，复习更方便，考前独家提供简化版本，助您快速通过，全程免费答疑。

Computers can injure you.Most other injuries happen suddenly.For example, if you fall off a bike and break your arms, it happens very quickly.But computer injuries happen slowly.You probably know how to ride a bike safely.Now learn to use a computer safely.Your eyesToo much light can injure your eyes, so never sit too close to a computer screen.Your eyes should be at least 50cm from the screen.Remember to look away from it sometimes.This gives your eyes a rest.When you use a computer, the window should be on your left or your right.If it is behind you, the light will reflect on (反射) the screen.If the window is in front of you, the sun and the screen will both shine into your eyes.Your hands and wristsHand and wrist injuries can happen because the hands and wrists are moved in the same way hundreds of times.If you use a keyboard for a long time, follow these three rules:1) Rest your wrists on some thing.2) Keep your elbows (肘) at the same height as the keyboard.3) Stop sometimes and exercise your hands, wrists and fingers in a different way.Your backSome people sit for many hours in front of a computer.If you sit in the wrong way, you can injure your back or your neck.So you should sit with your back straight.The top part of the screen should be in front of your eyes.Your forearms, wrists, hands and the upper part of your legs should all be parallel (平行) to the floor.If you are sitting for a long time, get up every 30 minutes and exercise your arms, legs and neck.Enjoy your computer，but use it safely.(1)、A computer screen may injure your eyes if your eyes are too close to it.A: TB: F答案: A(2)、Hand and wrist injuries are caused when you get plenty of exercise.A: TB: F答案: B(3)、Your eyes and hands will be safe if you often take rests from working.A: TB: F答案: A(4)、It is good for your back and neck if you sit in the right way.A: TB: F答案: A(5)、The best title for the text is "How to Protect Your Eyes."A: TB: F答案: B2. Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people.Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions.Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must negatively affect people.A person's conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people's reactions.In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others.They need reassurance that they are doing "the right thing." Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority.They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one, "You're just saying that to make me feel good.I know it's not true." It is clear that while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in building self-confidence.Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths.Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways.The betterwe understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential.Let's not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life.(1)、What does the author try to prove by citing "what kind of impression am I making?" (Para.1)__________A: Shy people benefit from their caring about their appearance.B: People's shyness made them care too much about their appearance and actions.C: It's natural that shy people don't believe other's compliments.D: Shy people think they are different from others.答案: B(2)、According to the writer, self-awareness is __________.A: a good qualityB: the cause of unhappinessC: harmful to peopleD: a weak point of shy people答案: A(3)、That shy people react to a compliment in such a way is ___________.A: goodB: unrealC: very reasonableD: harmful答案: B全套完整新版题库, 全中文翻译, 群内考前突击, 提供简化版,提供作文辅助输入工具, 全程免费答疑。

If at any time Albert neglected his duty, Bingo got very angry and refused to let him open the gate. Albert was now at Bingo's mercy and had to bribe him to get into his own house!

Yan, an elderly lady about 60, had served as committee director for more than 20 years; her major work was to rouse her neighbors from their sleep to get water. As time went by, residents could not go to sleep before one o’clock in the morning.Chaoyang Street was not the only street in Taiyuan that lacked water, and Taiyuan was not the only city in China with water in short supply.Niu Maosheng, Minister of Water Resources, told China Today that more than 300 cities nationwide lack water; in 108 cities the situation has become critical.

It is very rare for a person to be blind to all colors, but they may see everything in shades of black, white, and gray.It is interesting to note that many color-blind people don’t even realize that they arecolor-blind. They don’t know that the colors they are seeing and naming are not the actual colors that people with normal vision can see. This can be particularly dangerous when a color-blind person confuses the red and green of a traffic light.Color blindness is thought to be inherited (遗传).

We have answers on some levels, but not all.We like music because it makes us feel good. Why does it make us feel good? In 2001, neuroscientists Anne Blood and Robert Zatorre at McGill University in Montreal provided an answer. Using magnetic resonance imaging they showed that people listening to pleasurable music had activated brain regions called the limbic and paralimbic areas, which are connected to euphoric reward responses, like those we experience from sex, good food and addictive drugs. Those rewards come from a gush of a neurotransmitter called dopamine. As DJ Lee Haslam told us, music is the drug.But why? It’s easy en ough to understand why sex and food are rewarded with a dopamine rush: this makes us want more, and so contributes to our survival and propagation. (Some drugs subvert that survival instinct by stimulating dopamine release on false pretences.) But why would a sequence of sounds with no obvious survival value do the same thing?The truth is no one knows. However, we now have many clues to why music provokes intense emotions. The current favourite theory among scientists who study the cognition of music – how we process it mentally – dates back to 1956, when the philosopher and composer Leonard Meyer suggested that emotion in music is all about what we expect, and whether or not we get it. Meyer drew on earlier psychological theories of emotion, which proposed that it arises when we’re unable to satisfy some desire. That, as you might imagine, creates frustration or anger –but if we then find what we’re looking for, be it love or a cigarette, the payoff is all the sweeter.This, Meyer argued, is what music does too. It sets up sonic patterns and regularities that tempt us to make unconscious predictions about what’s coming next. If we’re right, the brain gives itself a little reward –as we’d now see it, a surge of dopamine. The constant dance between expectation and outcome thus enlivens the brain with a pleasurable play of emotions.Why should we care, though, whether our musical expectations are right or not? It’s not as if our life depended on them. Ah, says musicologist David Huron of Ohio State University, but perhaps once it did. Making predictions about our environment – interpreting what we see and hear, say, on the basis of only partial information – could once have been essential to our survival, and indeed still often is, for example when crossing the road. And involving the emotions in these anticipations could have been a smart idea. On the African savannah, our ancestors did not have the luxury of mulling over whether that screech was made by a harmless monkey or a predatory lion. By bypassing the “logical brain” and taking a shortcut to the primitive limbic circuits that control our emotions, the mental processing of sound could prompt a rush of adrenalin – a gut reaction – that prepares us to get out of there anyway.We all know that music has this direct line to the emotions: who hasn’t been embarrassed by the tears that well up as the strings swell in a sentimental film, even while the logical brain protests that this is just cynical manipulation? We can’t turn off this anticipatoryinstinct, nor its link to the emotions –even when we know that there’s nothinglife-threatening in a Moz art sonata. “Nature’s tendency to overreact provides a golden opportunity for musicians”, says Huron. “Composers can fashion passages that manage to provoke remarkably strong emotions using the most innocuous stimuli imaginable.”。
