A
The choice to adopt and hold
gratefulness is the one that is different from those who suffer misfortune and
those who enjoy a full life.
My
mother died when I was 24. It was a very difficult time in my life ― everything
seemed to fall apart. I lost my job, and then my utilities were turned off. I had to take cold showers for
six months. A neighbor who knew about my situation came to my house and made me
an offer. I took care of her children as a job, and I no longer went hungry. I
was surprised that someone would trust me ― a young woman ― with her children.
And it was with the very confidence that before long I began taking care of other
people’s children, too. I have since moved 300 miles from Boise, Idaho. For
more than 23 years I have made every effort to reach out to all the
kind-hearted people who helped me when I was down and out. Without their trust,
I don’t know what I would have done. I am very involved in my community and
volunteer at the local food bank, and I help out whenever I can. I’d like to
owe what I am to whoever has offered me generosity.
If
you are grateful for what you already have, the world will work together to
give you more to be grateful for. Otherwise, the world will give you more to complain
about.
Moreover,
the true master learns to be grateful, in advance, for the things that are
desired, because, being grateful in advance for some attainment or accomplishment
does two very important things: one…it tricks your subconscious（潛意識(shí)）
into believing that the goal is certain and two…it convinces other people, with
whom you must interact to achieve your desires, that you know what you are
about, that you are a winner, not a whiner (哀訴者).
56.
The underlined “utilities”
refers to such things as ______ in the passage.
A.
gas and electricity supplies
B. water and gas supplies
C. shower equipment and water supply
D. heating and TV signals
57.
The writer was grateful mainly for ______.
A. his neighbor’s donation
B. his community
C.
having got the job
D. others’ trust
58.
The writer’s personal story in the second paragraph tells us that ______.
A. to be grateful will get you nowhere but away from home
B. we need to be grateful to be helpful and useful
C. a grateful person is most likely to be successful
D. the fragrance (芳香) stays
in the hand that gives the rose
59.
The best title for the passage would be ________.
A. A Thank-You Note to Trusting Neighbor B.
You Are a Winner, Not a Whiner
C. Gratefulness Brings a Great Fullness to Life
D. Be Grateful to
Life in Advance

Do you want to
watch a hot movie while chatting with your friend on the phone, or shop with
your mobile while on a train? The ongoing construction of a new
telecommunication service will make these things reality, very soon.
It is reported
that China is to issue its first licence for the commercial use of third
generation telecommunication technology early next year. The so-called 3G technology will enable mobile phone users
to enjoy high-speed Internet-based services. It will help increase mobility in
many areas of our life.
Nowadays,
many mobile phones also allow you to send e-mails or read the latest stories on
the Internet, but their services are limited by their transporting speed, which
is only 10 kilobytes per second. But 3G
will enable you to connect to the Internet with a speed of up to 2 megabytes
per second, a thousand times faster than what you use now.
If recent mobile
technology is like riding a bike on a country road, then 3G will make you fly on the information
highway. For example, a mobile phone with 3G technology will enable you to download a three
minutes’ MP3 song within two minutes. But at the moment, it will take you up to
an hour to do this with your mobile phone.
In the near
future, we’ll expect high-speed access to the Internet, entertainment,
information and electronic commerce services wherever we are ? not just at our computers
or television sets.
In the UK and many other European countries where 3G services have been around since 2003, 3G has already become a part of modern
business life. Nowadays, employees are able to spend some of their working
hours at home. The new technology allows the emergency services to provide a
video link with a hospital or doctor for patients who need special care.
60. What are the strength of the so-called 3G technology?
A. It enables
mobile phone users to enjoy Internet-based services
B. It can enable you
to download MP3songs.
C. A 3G mobile phone can transport information
much faster than what we use now.
D. 3G technology will offer you high-speed
access to the Internet wherever there is a computer.
61. Which is NOT true
according to the passage?
A. It is
impossible for us to listen to MP3 music with our current mobile phone.
B. Thanks to 3G phones, European employees needn’t always
travel to work .
C. 3G mobile phone enables you to watch a hot
movie while chatting.
D. The new
technology allows a doctor to examine a patient through a video link.
62. Which sentence can best describe the picture?
A. 3G will make you fly on the information
highway.
B. 3G will help increase mobility in many areas
of our lives.
C. 3G has already become a part of modern business.
D. 3G will enable you connect to the internet
with a speed of 2 megabytes per second.
Yellowstone National Park is at high altitude(海拔). Most of the park is above 7,500 feet (2,275
meters).
Yellowstone's weather is unpredictable. In
summer, it may be warm and sunny with temperatures in the high 70s. At night in
any given month, the temperature may drop close to freezing. So it is best to
come prepared for cold evenings and mornings, especially if you are camping or
hiking. When you leave your campsite, please leave it prepared for possible thundershowers
and wind.
A sunny warm day may become fiercely stormy with
wind, rain, sleet and sometimes snow. Without enough clothing, and easy day
hike or boat trip can turn into a battle for survival.

pleasant, although temperatures average 10--20 degrees lower than summer readings. Nighttime lows can
fall into the teens and lower. Snowstorms
increase in frequency as the weeks go by or towards the end of the fall
season.
Temperatures
often stay near zero throughout the day, occasionally reaching high in the
20s. Suhzero nighttime lows are common. Annual snowfall averages nearly 150
inches in most of the park. At higher places, 200-- 400 inches of snow have
been recorded.

Are you one of those who
always fear whenever a dog is approaching? If you are, you have got phobia ( a
very strong feeling of being afraid of something ). Of all human fears, phobias
may be the most uncontrollable. They are most often caused by a particular situation
or object. In general, phobias can mainly be divided into three varieties. To
begin with，agoraphobia is a fear of staying in
strange surroundings, for example, an unfamiliar place, or an open area. Social
phobia refers to the anxiety people show when they have to stay or perform on
social events, for instance, speaking in front of the class. Lastly, there are
a wide range of specific phobias. People suffering from this kind of phobia are
terrified of specific objects or creatures, such as spiders, perhaps to your
surprise, clowns. Besides, there are about six hundred and fifty phobias having
been listed by psychologists (心理學(xué)家) as yet.
Faced with their phobias, many people choose to do nothing but
just escape the situations or objects they fear. Psychologists, however, warn
that if not treated properly, this kind of anxiety will get worse, so that it
may disturb the sleep pattern, cause physical symptoms, and finally affect
their daily activities. As for treatment, clinical research has discovered that
medicine for anxiety is not successful in curing phobias. However, the anxiety
disorders can be efficiently treated through cognitive behavioral therapy ( 認(rèn)知行為療法 ), through which patients are led to inspect the connections
between their own fear and the situation or object, and then actively choose
the acceptable treatments. Also, other treatments proved effective in reducing
phobias are Meditation (quiet thought that can help people relax), listening to
calming music, and so on.
67. According to the passage, what causes phobias?
A. Animal
attacks. B.
Staying in class.
C.
Talking with psychologists. D.
A certain object or situation.
68. What do those with agoraphobia feel terrified and anxious
about?
A．Staying
on a square. B．Touching
insects, like spiders.
C．Being
harmed by virus. D．Giving
a speech in presence of many people.
69. Which do psychologists NOT
use for effective treatment of phobias?
A. To
take medicine for anxiety. B.
To listen to comforting light music.
C. To
lose oneself in a peaceful environment.
D. To
understand the very source of one’s own anxiety.
70. Which of the following statements about phobias is correct?
A. Actors call help people to cure their
phobias.
B. Phobias can be divided into six
hundred and fifty types.
C. Those
suffering from phobias may not sleep well or work normally.
D.
Cognitive behavioral therapy demands little participation from patients.

rule this season .It’s called “zero tolerance.” NBA referees（裁判）are not letting players complain too long or too
loudly about a ref’s call. A player who does can be given a technical foul（犯規(guī). Two technical fouls and the player is out of
the game. The
players don’t like the new rule and want the NBA to change it. They think it’s
only natural to get upset during a close, hard-fought game if a call goes
against you. But
I like the “zero-tolerance” rule and wish other sports would follow the NBA’s
example. Wouldn’t it be more enjoyable if players stopped arguing the calls
and just played the game? The
biggest reason I like the new rule is that it sets a good example for younger
athletes. When kids（and coaches and
parents）see professionals such as
Rasheed Wallace of the Detroit Pistons yelling at the refs and arguing every
call ,they think it’s okay to do the same. They think it’s part of the game. But
yelling at refs and arguing calls should never be part of any kids’ games. Kids
should be taught to forget about the ref’s calls and concentrate on improving
their skills and playing their best. Secondly,
all athletes need to learn that you control only one thing in a game, and
that’s your own performance .You can’t control what the other players or
coaches do . And you certainly can’t control the calls the referees make. Finally,
everyone, from NBA all-stars to 8-year-olds, should remember that being a
basketball referee is a tough job. The ref has to make dozens of split-second（即時(shí)的）calls. No hesitation. No second chances. Not
even the best referee gets every call right. Maybe
if the players, coaches and fans who scream at the referees had to wear a
whistle and call a few games, . 81. What is the best title of this passage?(within 10 words) 82. Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the
following one? Children
should ignore the referees’ calls and pay more attention to their skills and do
their best. 83. Please fill in the blank in the last paragraph with a proper
sentence.(within 15 words) 84.

to tell you about a food poisoning incident. Several days ago, my
neighbor family ate a bag of fake food from the market. After the meal, they
had stomachaches and brought up what they had eaten as their faces turned pale.
Fortunately, another neighbor passed by only to find the accident and
immediately called the ambulance, which carried them quickly to hospital. After
several hours’ treatment they finally escaped from death. From this all of us have realized the importance
of food safety. As some illegal business men are only interested in making
profits in the race to become rich quickly, they seldom care about the necessary
safety measures and hygiene or care what happens to consumers. They must be
charged by law. Meanwhile I do hope the whole society shall begin taking
actions to protect people’s life safety.
Yours
