5．I was i n a terrible mood．Two of my friends had gone to the movies the night before and hadn't invited me．I was in my room thinking of ways to make them sorry when my father came in．"Want to go for a ride，today，Beck？It's a beautiful day．"
"No!Leave me alone!"Those were the last words I said to him that morning．
    My friends called and invited me to go to the mall with them a few hours later．I forgot to be mad at them and when I came home to find a note on the table．My mother put it where I would be sure to see it．"Dad has had an accident．Please meet us at Highland Park Hospital"．
    When I reached the hospital，my mother came out and told me my father's injuries were extensive．"Your father told the driver to leave him alone and just call 911，thank God!If he had moved Daddy，there's no telling what might have happened．A broken rib（肋骨）might have pierced（穿透）a lung…"
My mother may have said more，but I didn't hear．I didn't hear anything except those terrible words：Leave me alone．My dad said them to save himself from being hurt more．How much had I hurt him when I hurled those words at him earlier in the day？
    It was several days later that he was finally able to have a conversation．I held his hand gently，afraid of hurting him．
"Daddy…I am so sorry…"
"It's okay，sweetheart．I'll be okay．"
"No，"I said，"I mean about what I said to you that day．You know，that morning？"
    My father could no more tell a lie than he could fly．He looked at me and said．"Sweetheart，I don't remember anything about that day，not before，during or after the accident．But I remember kissing you goodnight the night before．"He managed a weak smile．
    My English teacher once told me that words have immeasurable power．They can hurt or they can heal．And we all have the power to choose our words．I intend to do that very carefully from now on．

4．Driving is absolutely a necessary skill in today's world．What you need before you master it is a driving license．（36）BBut before it becomes a time saver，it is a very timeconsuming （耗時的） thing．Without proper practice you cannot learn this skill．
First of all，for lack of driving knowledge or skills，many people die of road accidents every year．（37）AIf you are brave and scream"I would"，then I highly advise you to reconsider your attitude towards driving．Your driving can be much safer for both yourself and other people if you always keep to the speed limit and traffic rules．
（38）GThere are a lot of courses，but generally we divide them into four types．The first type is the most typical one that takes place in a classroom．The second and third types are driving simulationslearn how to drive on line．The last type is the best because it is simply practice．Your coach will teach you how to drive a car while you are driving on the road．
   When choosing the right cou rse，you need to consider the cost．If you have enough money，you can take practical lessons or the ones that take place in a classroom．（39）FFree materials about driving are easy to find on the Internet．Remember that practical experience is a must if you are serious about your health and safety．（40）CBad preparation for driving may result in hurting yourself or ever others．Attend driving courses and treat them seriously as they matter a lot to you．

F．You can also learn these courses online if they cost you too much．
G．You need to complete the driving courses to know the basics of driving．

3．A recent study shows that boys and girls learn differently．So ma ybe we can maximize （最大化）learning by teaching them in single gender （性別） programs．
   First，boys and girls see differently．Boys interpret the world as objects moving through space．In their opinion，a good teacher should move around the room constantly and be that object．
   The male eye is usually drawn to cooler colors like silver，blue，black，grey，and brown．It's no accident boys tend to create pictures of moving objects like spaceships，cars，and trucks in dark colors instead of drawing a happy colorful family，like girls in their class．The fem ale eye，on the other hand，is drawn to textures（質地） and colors．They tend to like warmer colors-red，yellow，orange，and visuals with more details，like faces．Girls work well in circles，faci ng each other．Using descriptive（描寫性的） phrases in presentations or lots of colors on the chalkboard can help get their attention．
  Boys and girls also hear differently．When someone speaks in a loud tone，girls interpret it as yelling．They think you're mad and should quiet down．Girls are more sensitive to sounds．Girls'teachers should notice the tone of their voices．Boys'teachers should sound matter of fact，even excited．
  Boys'nervous systems cause them to be more alert when they're standing，moving，and the room temperature is around 20℃．Stress in boys tends to increase blood flow to their brains，a process that helps them stay focused．This won't work for girls，who are more focused seated in a warmer room around 25℃．Girls also respond to stress differently．When exposed to a threat，blood goes to their guts（內臟），leaving them feeling nervous or anxious．
33．According to the new study，in order to have more effects on the learning of children，we'd betterA．
A．care for girls as well as boys in a class   
B．hold single gender classes
C．make girls sit in front of a classroom   
D．teach in classes mixed with two genders
34．We learn from the passage thatC．
A．boys feel stressed in a very cold room
B．boys tend to feel nervous under stress
C．girls need a higher temperature than boys to stay focused
D．girls should do more sports to keep their brains active
35．Which is the best title for the passage？C
A．The Differences Between Boys and Girls
B．Male Teachers and Female Teachers
C．Boys and Girls Learn Differently
D．Physical Differences Between Boys and Girls．

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．

1．Would you eat a ready meal from the fridge rather than cook from scratch？Have you been doing internet shopping rather than going to the stores？What can't you be bothered to do？
A study into how lazy British people are has found more than half of adults are so lazy they'd catch the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs．
Just over 2000 people were quizzed by independent researchers at Nuffield Health，Britain's largest health charity．The results were astonishing．
About one in six people surveyed said if their remote control was broken，they would continue watching the same channel rather than get up．
More than one third of those questioned said they would not run to catch a bus．Worryingly，of the 654 respondents with children，64% said they were often too tired to play with them．
This led the report to conclude that it's no wonder that one in six children in the UK are classified as obese （very fat） before they start school．
Dr Sarah Dauncey，medical director of Nuffield Health，said："People need to get fitter，not just for their own sake，but for the sake of their families，friends and evidently their pets too．
"If we don't start to take control of this problem，a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the most rudimentary of tasks．"
And Scotland's largest city，Glasgow，was shamed as the most inactive city in the UK，with 75% surveyed admitting they do not get enough exercise，followed closely by Birmingham and Southampton，both with 67%．
The results cause serious challenges for the National Health Service，where obesity-related illnesses such as heart disease and cancer have been on a steady increase for the past 40 years and are costing billions of pounds every year．
61．What causes children in the UK to be obese？D
A．Eating ready meal                                  
B．Watching TV
C．Doing Internet shopping                              
D．Being lazy
62．What can be inferred from the passage？D
A．British people are too lazy to do anything．
B．Internet shopping will do harm to your health．
C．Many people would not run to catch a bus in Britain．
D．People should be more active and take regular exercise to keep fit．
63．Which of the following is Not true according to the passage？A
A．One sixth of British people use remote control when watching TV．
B．People will benefit not only themselves but their families by getting fit．
C．Fatness can cause diseases such as heart disease and cancer．
D．More people get obesity-related illnesses now than 40 years ago．
64．What does the underlined word rudimentary most probably mean？A
A．basic                B．serious                C．vital                  D．hard
65．All the following are among the most lazy cities in the UK exceptC．
A．Glasgow          B．Birmingham          C．Nuffield           D．Southampton．

20．You're rushing to work and a man ahead of you collapses on the sidewalk．Do you stop to help？In a study of by-standers，it was found that some people avert their gaze and keep on  walking rather than stop and get involved．
"There is a tendency to decide that no action is needed．"says a psychologist．"The first thoughts that pop into your mind often keep you from offering help．In order to take action，you have to work against them．"Here are some common thoughts that might prevent you from helping．
●Why should I be the one？I'm probably not the most competent（有能力的） person in this crowd．You might think someone older or with more medical knowledge should offer assistance．
●What if he doesn't really need my help？The fear of embarrassment is powerful； no one wants to risk looking foolish in front of others．
●No one else looks concerned-this must not be a problem．We can follow the people around us，but most people tend to hold back their emotions in public．
"If you spot trouble and find yourself explaining inaction，force yourself to stop and evaluate the situation instead of walking on，"says the psychologist．"Then retry to involve other people； you don't have to take on the entire responsibility of being helpful．Sometimes it's just a matter of turning to the person next to you and saying，‘It looks like we should do something．'Or asking someone if an ambulance has been called and，if not，to call for one．Once you take action，most people will follow you．"
56．Which is NOT the common thought that stops you from helping others？B
A．I'm not the very person capable of setting the problem．
B．It looks like we should do something．
C．It must not be a problem as no one else is concerned．
D．He doesn't really need my help．
57．According to a study of by-standers，what will some people do when a man ahead falls down on the sidewalk？C
A．They will call for help and then walk away．
B．They will stop and offer help．
C．They will turn away their eyes and go on walking．
D．They will laugh at him．
58．We learn from the last paragraph that if we spot trouble，C．
A．we should call the ambulance as soon as we can．
B．we should take on the whole responsibility and do something alone．
C．we should stop and evaluate the situation and try to make other people follow．
D．we should turn to other people and ask them to take on the responsibility
59．In order to offer others your timely help，you need toD．
A．a(chǎn)sk others for help and call the police
B．get along well with the passers-by who spot the trouble
C．go directly to the police station
D．work against the first thoughts that prevent you offering help
60．The main purpose of the text is to tell readersA．
A．to give others a hand                                    
B．to be more competent
C．not to risk looking foolish                    
D．to stop and evaluate the situation．

19．It was a warm March evening，and I'd just taken a seat on the bus that would take me home．It was nearly 6：00 PM，but the bus was not yet full and the driver gave no （36）Cthat he intended to start the bus．
A middle-aged woman took a seat opposite me．She was crying．Not speaking to anyone in particular，she （37）Anarrated her story．
She had come to the city to visit her daughter．On the way to the terminal，a thief had（38）Bone of her bags．It had contained half of the money she'd brought with her．The other half was hidden under her blouse，so she（39）Dstill had some money left．The bus conductor，driver，and other passengers listened to her tale．
At this time，an old man（40）Agot on the bus．He sat in the seat directly in front of the woman．
After a few minutes，all seats were（41）B．The driver got behind the wheel and started the engine．The bus conductor collected tickets and began asking us where we were（42）C．When he came to the old man's seat，he became（43）Band asked the old man whether he had any money．The old man（44）Cthat he did not．He explained that he（45）Call his money this morning when he'd accidentally got on the wrong bus and now he was trying to go home．
Upon hearing this，the bus conductor（46）Bthe old man to get off the bus．The old man was almost in tears as he begged the bus conductor to let him take that bus （47）Ahe could get home before dark．The bus driver approached the old man，and repeated the conductor's（48）Bto get off the bus．
"Stop troubling him!Can't you see he's only trying to get home？"she interfered．"He doesn't have any money!"the driver shouted．"Well，that's no（49）Cto throw him off the bus，"she insisted．
Then she said，"How much is his fare？"The bus conductor mumbled the amount．"Fine，"said the woman．She（50）Dinside her blouse，took out her（51）Dmoney，and handed the fares to the bus conductor．"Here's his fare and mine．Just stop giving him a hard time．"
All eyes turned（52）Bthe woman，who，just minutes before，had been crying over the money she'd lost．"It's only money，"she shrugged．
By the time the bus rolled out of the terminal，she had given the old man bread and a dollar．She rode the rest of the way home（53）Ba Mona Lisa smile of peace and grace，and the money she'd lost（54）Awas forgotten．
On the road of life，the politeness and smiles of（55）Ccan lighten our loads and lift our spirits．How much sweeter the journey when we make it a little smoother and richer for others!

18．There is a boy called Bill in my gym class who has unbearably yellow teeth that almost make everyone feel unpleasant．Recently another boy told Bill that he should"go Ajax"his teeth．Bill was crushed．If the other boy had been thinking，he would have realized that there is a better way to handle such a situation．He could have dealt with it with tact．He could have showed this hurtful truth in a more careful，sensitive way-that's"tact"．
If a person isn't sensitive to another's feelings，there is no way he or she can be tactful．Yesterday，my 5-year-old brother proudly announced that he had cleaned the screen on our television set．Unfortunately，he used furniture polish，which produced an oily film on the television screen．My mother smiled arid thanked him for his efforts-and then showed how to clean the screen properly．Her sensitivity enables my brother to keep his self-respect．Yet，sensitivity alone does not make tact．
"Tactfulness"also requires"truthfulness"．Doctors，for example must be truthful．If a patient has just been disabled in an accident，a tactful doctor will tell the truth-but express it with sensitivity．The doctor may try to give the patient hope by telling them curing techniques under study or about advanced equipment now available．Doctors must use tact with patients'relatives as well．Instead of bluntly saying，"Your husband is disabled，"a doctor might say，"I'm sorry，but your husband has lost feeling in his legs and…"
Tact should not be confused with trickery．Trickery occurs when a nurse is about to give a patient an injection（注射） and says，"This won't hurt a bit．"Instead of trickery，the nurse might guarantee the patient that the discomfort of the injection is a small thing compared to the benefits of it．It would also be thoughtful for the nurse to tell the patients about some of these benefits．
Tact is a wonderful skill to have，and tactful people are usually admired and respected．Without tact our society would become an intolerable place to live in．

68．The underlined word"crushed"in the first paragraph probably meansD．
A．surprised        B．cheated         C．regretful     D．painful
69．According to the author，his mother's praise for the brother isB．
A．sensitive and tactful                   B．sensitive but not tactful enough
C．truthful but not tactful enough         D．sensitive but trickish
70．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage？C

（The numbers stand for the paragraphs）

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） 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
D．Multiple Roles of Women in Society．
