44．（12分）I teach economics in a university three times per week．Last Monday，at the beginning of class，I asked my students how their weekend had been．One young man said that his weekend had not been so good．He had his wisdom teeth removed．Then he went on to ask me why I always seemed to be so cheerful．
His question reminded me of something I'd read somewhere before：Every morning when you get up，you have a choice about how you want to live that day．I said，"I choose to be cheerful．，"Let me give you an example，"I continued．"Besides teaching here，I also teach at a college in Henderson，17miles down the freeway from where I live．One day a few weeks ago，I exited the freeway and turned onto College Drive．I only had to drive another quarter mile down the road to the college．But just then
my car died．I tried to start it again，but the engine wouldn't work．So I put my flashes on，took my books，and walked down the road to the college．As soon as I got there，I called AAA （汽车协会）and asked for a tow truck to meet me at my car after class．The secretary there asked me what had happened．"This is my lucky day，"I replied，smiling．
"Your car breaks down and today is your lucky day？What do you mean？"
"My car could have broken down anywhere along the freeway．It didn't，"I replied．"Instead，it broke down at the perfect place：off the freeway，within walking distance of here．I'm still able to teach my class，and I've been able to ask for the tow truck to meet me after class!If my car was meant to break down today，it couldn't have been arranged in a more convenient way．"

50．（12分）How do you get on with your teachers？Every day，we spend hours with our teachers at school．We learn from them and they teach us to （50）be good people．The relationship between students and teachers is very important．Teachers care about our studies and lives，and it seems they know everything about the（51）they teach．They also have the right to decide （52）should be the class leader or represent the class to take part in the activities．
So many students want to be the teachers*pets．We show teachers great respect．In class，we obey the rules and keep quiet if the teacher doesn't ask us to speak．We （53 ）have opinions．different from our teachers'．When they make a mistake，we are afraid to point it out．Some of us

At American schools，the situation is a little different．Teachers and students are more like
friends．Calling a teacher by his or her name is common．In class，

57．（14分）Have you ever eaten at a restaurant that seizes Western food？If so，do you remember what the menu looked like？Western restaurant menus are quite different from Chinese restaurant menus．But how are they different？
Most Western restaurant menus do not have as many p（57）
as Chinese ones do．In some fancy Western restaurants，the menus might not have any pictures at all．
But most Western menus show a list of ingredients for each dish．
If you order a burger，the menu might tell you that the burger has cheese，ketchup and mustard 0Y
末）．The menu can also tell you how the food is cooked﹣﹣﹣for example，（58）w it is fried or
steamed．
Western restaurants use many different methods to design their menus and make them
more （59）a．In fact，there is a whole industry called"menu engineering"，according to the
BBC．Menu engineers are experts at designing menus．Their menus can（60）i sales and
influence customers'thoughts．
A well﹣designed menu can encourage customers to eat certain dishes．It can （61）
e
make them believe that your restaurant's food is of higher quality，thought they might haven't
eaten the food．
For example，using descriptive （描述性的）words（62）s "juicy"or"cheesy"can help
dishes sell better．Instead of just writing"steak"in their menu，a restaurant might write"sizzling
steak"．This makes the steak sound more delicious．
Also，it is （63）k that people pay the most attention to items placed at the top of a page．
This is the best place for dishes that you want to promote．
As you can see，menus are not just simple lists of food!
64．（12分）Answer the questions （根据以下内容回答问题）
When taking an elevator，do you often push the"Close"button？You hope by pushing it，the elevator door will close faster．But what if the button is actually fake（假的）？Karen Penafiel is the executive director（执行董事）of the US'National
Elevator Industry．She said that elevators'"close"buttons are a complete trick，at least in the US，and that doors will not close any faster despite how hard you push．
In the 1990s the Americans with Disabilities Act （《美国残疾人法案》）
was passed in the US．It means all elevators have to stay open long enough to allow disabled people to enter．Only US firefighters and elevator workers can really use the buttons with special keys．
But the buttons aren't completely useless．According to psychologists（心、理学家），fake buttons can make you feel better．They give you a sense of control that can help
reduce stress．That's why some other buttons in our lives are fake，too，
■For example，many offices in the US have fake thermostats（温控器）．People may feel better when they think they can control the temperature in their workspace．You were told that traffic light buttons could help make the traffic signals change faster．But they may not really work either．
However，even when people know these little"white lies"，they still push fake buttons．As long as the doors finally close，it seems worthy，
John Kounios is a psychology professor at Drexel University in the US．He told The New York Times that he always pushes the traffic light buttons．"After all，I've got nothing else to do while waiting．So why not push the button on the off chance that this one will work？"
64．The"close"buttons of the elevators in the US don't really work，do they？65．What do people hope when they push the"close"button in an elevator？66．Who can really use the"close"buttons of elevators in the US according to the passage？
67．Why do the fake buttons make people feel better？
68．What other examples does the passage show that fake buttons aren't completely useless？
69．Will you push the fake buttons next time when you take the elevator or wait at the traffic lights？Why or why not？．
六、Writing （作文）：（共20分）
65．（15分）Write at least 60words on the topic"Imagine 2020"（以"畅想2020 年"为题，写一篇不少于60个词的短文，标点符号不占格）
未来已来，请发挥你的想象力，畅想2020年你的生活中会有哪些令人欣喜的变化．

His question reminded me of something I'd read somewhere before：Every morning when you get up，you have a choice about how you want to live that day．I said，"I choose to be cheerful．，"Let me give you an example，"I continued．"Besides teaching here，I also teach at a college in Henderson，17miles down the freeway from where I live．One day a few weeks ago，I exited the freeway and turned onto College Drive．I only had to drive another quarter mile down the road to the college．But just then my car died．I tried to start it again，but the engine wouldn't work．So I put my flashes on，took my books，and walked down the road to the college．As soon as I got there，I called AAA （汽车协会）and asked for a tow truck to meet me at my car after class．The secretary there asked me what had happened．"This is my lucky day，"I replied，smiling．
"Your car breaks down and today is your lucky day？What do you mean？"
"My car could have broken down anywhere along the freeway．It didn't，"I replied．"Instead，it broke down at the perfect place：off the freeway，within walking distance of here．I'm still able to teach my class，and I've been able to ask for the tow truck to meet me after class!If my car was meant to break down today，it couldn't have been arranged in a more convenient way．"。
