2．That cold January night，I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco．There I was walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater．With opening night only a week away，I was still learning my lines．I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time．As I walked，I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco．City life had become too much for me．
As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings，I felt very small and cold．I began running，both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers．Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets．
About a block from my apartment，I heard a sound behind me．I turned quickly，half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun．The street was empty．All I saw was a shining streetlight．Still，the noise had made me nervous，so I started to run faster．Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been．It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk．
Suddenly I wasn't cold or tired any more．I ran out of the door and back to where I'd heard the noise．Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes，my wallet was nowhere to be found．
Just as I was about to give up the search，I heard the garbage truck pull up to the sidewalk next to me．When a voice called from the inside，"Alisa Camacho？"I thought I was dreaming．How could this man know my name？The door opened，and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes．"Is this what you're looking for？"he asked，holding up a small square shape．
It was nearly 3 a．m．by the time I got into bed．I wouldn't get much sleep that night，but I had got my wallet back．I also had got back some enjoyment of city life．I realized that the city couldn't be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other．

分析 在一個(gè)失意的夜晚作者獨(dú)自回家，工作及生活的不順使作者心情沮喪，甚至于考慮要放棄在舊金山這個(gè)大都市的生活．然而隨后發(fā)生的錢包失而復(fù)得的事情卻讓作者感受到了人們之間的溫暖，也感受到了世界的美好，內(nèi)心又充滿了對(duì)城市生活的希望．

解答 DDACB
56．D推理判斷題，根據(jù)第一段的walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater．和As I walked，I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco．可知作者在一次勞累的排練后凌晨步行回家，當(dāng)我走的時(shí)候，我認(rèn)真地考慮放棄表演和舊金山．由此可知，作者感到很失望，很疲憊和無(wú)助．故選D．
57．D推理判斷題，根據(jù)第一段With opening night only a week away，I was still learning my lines．可知距離演出只有一個(gè)星期了，而我還在學(xué)習(xí)我的臺(tái)詞．由此可知，作者一直在忙于準(zhǔn)備演出． 故選D．
58．A事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題，根據(jù)第三段It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk．可知作者不知道當(dāng)時(shí)自己的錢包掉了．故選A．
59．C事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題，根據(jù)第五段How could this man know my name？可知，作者認(rèn)為這里沒(méi)有人知道她的名字，因此聽(tīng)到別人叫她名字，她感到自己在做夢(mèng)．故選C．
60．B推理判斷題，根據(jù)最后一段I realized that the city couldn't be a bad place as long as peoplewere willing to help each other可知，作者認(rèn)為這個(gè)城市其實(shí)還是有可愛(ài)之處的，還沒(méi)有以前認(rèn)為的那么糟糕．故選B．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 閱讀這類文章時(shí)，也應(yīng)該在整體把握文章結(jié)構(gòu)的前提下，主要注意細(xì)節(jié)信息．細(xì)節(jié)題題干都是相應(yīng)原文的變形（如同義改寫(xiě)、詞性轉(zhuǎn)換等），因此要找到答案一定要找到題干在原文中的出處，再把原文和選項(xiàng)相比較．做題時(shí)，根據(jù)所提問(wèn)題用尋讀、跳讀的方法可達(dá)到事半功倍的效果．

1．A tornado （龍卷風(fēng)） is a violently turning column of air that is in contact with both the surface of the earth and a cumulonimbus cloud （積雨云）．Tornadoes come in many shapes and sizes，but they are typically in the form of a visible condensation funnel （漏斗）．Most tornadoes have wind speeds less than 177km/h，are about 76meters across，and travel several kilometers before disappearing．The most extreme tornadoes can reach wind speeds of more than 483km/h，stretch more than 3.2km across，and stay on the ground for more than 100km．
Various types of tornadoes include the landspout，multiple vortex tornado，and waterspout．Waterspouts are characterized by a spiraling （螺旋式的上升） funnel-shaped wind current，connecting to a large cumulonimbus cloud．They are generally classified as tornadoes that develop over bodies of water，but there is disagreement over whether to classify them as true tornadoes．These spiraling columns of air frequently develop in tropical areas close to the equator，and are less common at high latitudes．Other tornado-like phenomena that exist in nature include the gustnado，dust devil，fire whirls，and steam devil； downbursts are frequently confused with tornadoes，though their action is dissimilar．
Tornadoes have been observed on every continent except Antarctica．However，the vast majority of tornadoes occur in the Tornado Alley region of the United States，although they can occur nearly anywhere in North America．They also occasionally occur in south-central and eastern Asia，northern and east-central South America，Southern Africa，northwestern and southeast Europe，western and southeastern Australia，and New Zealand．
There are several scales （測(cè)量?jī)x） for rating the strength of tornadoes．The Fujita scale rates tornadoes by damage caused and has been replaced in some countries by the updated Enhanced Fujita Scale．An F0or EF0tornado，the weakest category，damages trees，but not strong structures．An F5or EF5tornado，the strongest category，tears buildings off their foundations and can change the shape of large skyscrapers．The TORRO scale ranges from a T0for extremely weak tornadoes to T11for the most powerful known tornadoes．
63．Which are definitely considered as real tornadoes？A
A．Landspouts．
B．Gustnadoes．
C．Downbursts．
D．Waterspouts．
64．From the passage we can learnB．
A．how tornadoes are generally formed
B．how big an area a tornado might strike
C．where the strongest tornadoes may occur
D．where tornadoes can be properly measured
65．It can be inferred from the passage thatD．
A．a(chǎn) cumulonimbus cloud must be the sign of a tornado
B．the South Pole is likely to be frequently hit by tornadoes
C．spiraling wind currents often develop in the United States
D．the Fujita scale is less advanced than the Enhanced Fujita scale
66．The author writes the passage mainly toC．
A．emphasize the destruction by tornadoes 
B．a(chǎn)nalyze the causes of tornadoes
C．introduce different aspects of tornadoes
D．warn people to avoid tornadoes．

17．In our culture，the sources of what we call a sense of"mastery"-feeling important and worthwhile-and the sources of what we call a sense of"pleasure"-finding life enjoyable-are not always the same．Women often are told"You can't have it all．"Sometimes what the speaker really is saying is："You choose a career，so you can't expect to have closer relationships or a happy family life．"or"You have a wonderful husband and children-what's all this about wanting a career？"But women need to understand and develop both aspects of well-being，if they are to feel good about themselves．
Our study shows that，for women，well-being（康樂(lè)） has two aspects．One is mastery，which includes self-respect，a sense of control over your life，and low levels of anxiety and depression．Mastery is closely related to the"doing"side of life，to work and activity．Pleasure is the other aspect，and it is made up of happiness，satisfaction and optimism．It is tied more closely to the"feeling"side of life．The two are independent of each other．A woman could be high in mastery and low in pleasure，and vice versa （反之亦然）．For example，a woman who has a good job，but whose mother has just died，might be feeling very good about herself and in control of her work life，but the pleasure side could be damaged for a time．
The concepts of mastery and pleasure can help us identify the sources of well-being for women，and correct past mistakes．In the past，women were encouraged to look only at the feeling side of life as the source of all well-being．But we know that both mastery and pleasure are important．And mastery seems to be achieved largely through work．In our study，all the groups of employed women are valued significantly higher in mastery than women who are not employed．
A woman's well-being is developed when she takes on multiple （多項(xiàng)的） roles．At least？by middle adulthood，the women who are involved in a combination of roles-marriages，motherhood，and employment-are the highest in well-being，in spite of warnings about stress and strain．

64．It can be inferred from the first paragraph thatD．
A．for women，a sense of"mastery"is more important than a sense of"pleasure"
B．for women，a sense of"pleasure"is more important than a sense of"mastery"
C．women can't have a sense of"mastery"and a sense of"pleasure"at the same time
D．a(chǎn) sense of"mastery"and a sense of"pleasure"are both necessary to women
65．The author's attitude towards women having a career is_B．
A．negative       B．positive        C．neutral （中立）  D．realistic
66．One can conclude from the passage that if a woman takes on several social roles，_A．
A．her life will be richer and more meaningful
B．she will be more successful in her career
C．her chances of getting promoted will be greater
D．it will be easier for her to overcome stress and strain
67．The most appropriate title for the passage would be _C．
A．The Well-Being of Career Women
B．Sources of Mastery and Pleasure
C．Two Aspects of Women's Well-Being

7．October 15th is the Global Handwashing Day．Activities are planned in more than 20 countries to get millions of people in the developing world to wash their hands with soap．For example，donators will give 150，000 bars of soap to schools in Ethiopia．
Experts say people around the world wash their hands every day，but very few use soap at so-called important moments．These include after using the toilet，after cleaning a baby and before touching food．
Global Handwashing Day is the idea of the Public-Private Partnership for Handwashing with Soap．Partners include the United Nations Children's Fund，American government agencies，the World Bank and soap makers Unlever and Procter and Gamble．The organizers say all soaps are equ ally effective at removing disease-causing germ．They say the correct way to wash is to wet your hands with a small amount of water and cover them with soap．Rub it into all areas，including under the fingernails．Rub for at least twenty seconds．Then rinse well under running water．Finally，dry your hands with a clean cloth or wave them in the air．
The Partnership for Handwashing says soap is important because it increases the time that people spend in washing hands．Soap also helps to break up the dirt that holds most of the germs．And it usually leaves a pleasant smell．The Partnership for Handwashing also says washing with soap before eating or after using the toilet could save more lives than any vaccine（疫苗）or medicine．Hand washing could also prevent the spread of other diseases．When people get germs on their hands，they can infect themselves by touching their eyes，noses or mouths．Then they can infect others．

14．Sometimes people call each other"scared cat"，but have you ever thought about this expression？When a cat is frightened，its heart starts beating faster，its muscles get tense，and there are changes in the chemicals in its blood-stream．If the danger continues，this animal will do one of the two things．It will defend itself，or it will run away as fast as it can．
   Something like this also happens to people．When we are excited，angry，scared，or aroused by other emotions，our bodies go through many physical changes．Our hearts beat faster，and our muscles get tense．All of these changes make us more alert and ready to react．We，too，get ready to defend ourselves or run．Human beings，however，have a problem．If we give way to our feelings and let them take over，we can get into trouble．Have you ever said something in anger and regretted later？Have you ever shouted at a teacher or told somebody you were lonely and then wished later you had kept your mouth shut？It isn't always wise to express your feelings freely．
Does this mean that it's always smarter to hide our feelings？No!If you keep feelings like anger hidden away or bottled up inside，your body stays tense．Physical illnesses can develop，and you can feel disturbed badly inside．Itcan actually be bad for your health．Feelings that you keep all bottled up inside don't just go away．It's as if you bought some bananas and stuck them in a cupboard．You might not be able to see them，but before long you'd smell them．And if you opened the cupboard，chances are you'd see little fruit flies hovering（盤旋） all over them．They'd be rotten．You can try to treat emotions as if they were bananas in the cupboard．You can hide them and you can pretend they don't exist，but they'll still be around．And at last you'll have to deal with them，just like those bananas．

12．One of my favorite things I like to watch is the bloopers （洋相） and outtakes（花絮） that are shown of mistakes made during the making of a movie．Most DVDs have a section of outtakes，and often they will set me off laughing，especially when you know what was supposed to happen．
We all make mistakes，and have many bloopers and outtakes in a lifetime．Some of them may be funny like movie bloopers，a stupid mistake and we are able to laugh at ourselves．Other outtakes in life，however，are not funny．I am referring to the tragic turns of events that happen in life that can turn our life in a moment．Accidents，disaster，the death of a loved one happen unexpectedly，and can greatly affect our lives．These are outtakes we would prefer not to happen or even replayed in our life．
Times of crisis and tragedy can not be prevented，but how you handle these outtakes will affect the rest of your life．There is always a choice in any crisis．We can choose to feel upset，but keep hopes and move forward，or choose to become stuck in the past．We cannot choose our circumstances，but we do have a choice how we respond to them．We can give in or overcome，and our choice will determine our future．When we drive a car our focus is the road ahead； if we spend all our time looking in the rearview mirror（后視鏡） failure is more or less inevitable（不可避免的）!The same is true in life．We will fail，or at best remain at a standstill if we keep looking back and focusing on the events behind us，reliving the past．
