25、lentII.完形填空A lesson in caringIt was a cold evening and my daughter and I were walking up Broadway. I didnt notice a guy sitting inside a cardboard box. But Nora did. She wasnt even four, but she 36 at my coat and said, “That mans cold. Daddy, 37 we take him home?” I dont remember my reply. But I do
26、remember a sudden 38 feeling inside me. I had always been delighted at how much my daughter noticed in her 39 , whether it was 40 in flight or children playing. But now she was noticing 41 and beggary. A few days later, I saw an article in the newspaper about volunteers who picked up a food package
27、from a nearby school on a Sunday morning and 42 it to an elderly person. It was quick and easy. I 43 us up. Nora was 44 about it. She could understand the importance of food, so she could easily see how 45 our job was. When Sunday came, she was ready, but I had to 46 myself to leave the house to fet
28、ch the food package. On my way to the school, I fought an urge to turn 47 . The Sunday paper and coffee were waiting for me at home. Why do this? 48 , we phoned the elderly person wed been appointed. She 49 us right over. The building was in a bad state. Facing us was a silver-haired woman in an old
29、 dress. She took the package and asked us to come in. Nora ran inside. I unwillingly followed. 50 inside, I saw that the apartment belonged to someone poor. Our hostess showed us some photos. Nora played and when it came time to say goodbye, we three hugged, I walked home in tears. Professionals cal
30、l such a(n) 51 “a volunteer opportunity”. They are opportunities, Ive come to see. Where else but as volunteers do you have the opportunity to do something 52 thats good for others as well as for yourself?

34、tried D. seizedIII.阅读理解 AIdeas about polite behavior are different from one culture to another. Some societies, such as America and Australia, for example, are mobile and very open. People here change jobs and move house quite often. As a result, they have a lot of relationships that often last only
35、 a short time, and they need to get to know people quickly. So its normal to have friendly conversations with people that they have just met, and you can talk about things that other cultures would regard as personal. On the other hand，there are more crowded and less mobile societies where long term
36、 relationships are more important. A Malaysian or Mexican business person, for example, will want to get to know you very well before he or she feels happy to start business. But when you do get to know each other, the relationship becomes much deeper than it would in a mobile society.To Americans,
37、both Europeans and Asians seem cool and formal at first. On the other hand, as a passenger from a less mobile society puts it, its no fun spending several hours next to a stranger who wants to tell you all about his or her life and asks you all sorts of questions that you dont want to answer.Cross-c
38、ultural differences arent just a problem for travelers, but also for the flights that carry them. All flights want to provide the best service, but ideas about good service are different from place to place. This can be seen most clearly in the way that problems are dealt with.Some societies have “u
39、niversalist” cultures. These societies strongly respect rules, and they treat every person and situation in basically the same way. “Particularist”societies, on the other hand, also have rules, but they are less important than the societys unwritten ideas about what is right or wrong for a particula
40、r situation or a particular person. So the normal rules are changed to fit the needs of the situation or the importance of the person.This difference can cause problems. A traveler from a particularist society, India, is checking in for a flight in Germany, a country which has a universalist culture
41、. The Indian traveler has two much luggage, but he explains that he has been away from home for a long time and the suitcases are full of presents for his family. He expects that the check in official will understand his problem and will change the rules for him. The check in official explains that
42、if he was allowed to have too much luggage, it wouldnt be fair to the other passengers. But the traveler thinks this is unfair, because the other passengers dont have his problem.56. Often moving from one place to another makes people like Americans and Australians .Alike traveling better Beasy to c
43、ommunicate withCdifficult to make real friends Dhave a longterm relationship with their neighbors57. People like Malaysians prefer to associate with those _.Awho will tell them everything of their own Bwho want to do business with themCthey know quite well Dwho are good at talking58. A person from a
44、 less mobile society will feel it _ when a stranger keeps talking to him or her, and asking him or her questions.Aboring Bfriendly Cnormal Drough59. The writer of the passage thinks that the Indian and the German have different ideas about rules because of different _.Ainterests Bhabits and customs
45、Ccultures Dways of lifeBBreathe, wave and smile. Along with more than 300 other seniors, I marched into the stadium on the afternoon of May 10. The audience burst into deafening cheers. The huge stadium shook with all the whistling and clapping.It was as if a Hollywood superstar had walked on stage.
46、 And indeed, every single senior that day was a star of the moment. Each deserved it. The seniors had been preparing for four years for this once-in-a-lifetime momentthe commencement (graduation ceremony).Seated, I waited anxiously for the opening address. As a foreign exchange student, I was not ab
47、le to receive a diploma. However, I still had the wonderful feeling of being part of things. Like the other graduates, I was dressed in marron cap and gown.Our principal, Mr Glover, delivered a short, warm greeting. The US national anthem followed and then, hands on chests, a solemn Pledge of Allegi
48、ance (美国的爱国誓言).Students who had excelled academically gave farewell speeches. The tears in some eyes convinced me that many had deep feelings about the occasion. It was as the class motto says, “Life brings us tears, smiles and memories. The tears dry; the smiles fade; but the memories last forever.
49、”Then came the core (the most important part) of the commencement. Hundreds of names were announced. Each graduate walked across the stage to receive his or her diploma from the principal. From the different cheers each graduate got, we had the funny sense that it was a kind of competition of who co
50、uld cheer the loudest.To be honest, the presentation of diplomas got boring. A girl sitting next to me even started yawning. But it wasnt boring for those receiving the diploma: they would treasure the moment the principal placed the sacred brown document in their hands for the rest of their lives.A
51、 new page in the book of that persons life had turned. They were glimpsing their futures: futures of challenge, hardship, perhaps loneliness too, which would take all of their courage.60. Whats the article mainly about?A. An American high schools graduation ceremony. B. The opening ceremony of a spo
52、rts meeting.C. A presentation of college diplomas. D. A US colleges farewell party.61. From the text, we can conclude that_.A. a diploma ensures a good job B. a diploma guarantees a bright futureC. the commencement symbolizes the beginning of a new stage in lifeD. everyone felt excited at the presen
53、tation of the diploma62. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. Hollywood superstars went to attend the commencement.B. Every single senior became a superstar on the commencement day.C. All graduates would treasure the diploma for the rest of their lives.D. When each
54、graduate got his or her diploma, there were loud cheers.CAgainst the assumption that forest fires in Alaska, Canada and Siberia warm the climate, scientists have discovered that cooling may occur in areas where burnt trees allow more snow to mirror more sunlight into space.This finding suggests that
55、 taking steps to prevent northern forest fires to limit the release of greenhouse gases may warm the climate in northern regions. Usually large fires destroyed forests in these areas over the past decade. Scientists predict that with climate warming, fires may occur more frequently over next several
56、 centuries as a result of a longer fire season. Sunlight taken in by the earth tends to cause warming, while heat mirrored back into space tends to cause cooling.This is the first study to analyze all aspects of how northern fires influence climate. Earlier studies by other scientists have suggested
57、 that fire in northern regions speed up climate warming because greenhouse gases from burning trees and plants are released into the atmosphere and thus trap heat.Scientists found that right after the fire, large amounts of greenhouse gases entered the atmosphere and caused warming. Ozone（臭氧）levels
58、increased, and ash from the fire fell on far-off sea ice, darkening the surface and causing more radiation from the sun to be taken in. The following spring, however, the land within the area of the fire was brighter than before the fire, because fewer trees covered the ground. Snow on the ground mi
59、rrored more sunlight back into space, leading to cooling.“We need to find out all possible ways to reduce the growth of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.” Scientists tracked the change in amount of radiation entering and leaving the climate system as a result of the fire, and found a measurement c
60、losely related to the global air temperature. Typically, fire in northern regions occurs in the same area every 80 to 150 years. Scientists, however, found that when fire occurs more frequently, more radiation is lost from the earth and cooling results. Specifically, they determined when fire return
61、s 20 years earlier than predicated, 0.5 watts per square meter of area burned are soaked up by the earth from greenhouse gases, but 0.9 watts per square meter will be sent back into space. The net effect is cooling. Watts are used to measure the rate at which energy is gained or lost from the earth.
62、63. According to the new findings, taking steps to prevent northern forest fires may _. A. result in a warming climate B. cause the forest fires to occur more frequently C. lead to a longer fire season D. protect the forests and the environment there64. Earlier studies about northern forest fires _.
63、 A. analyze all aspects of how northern fires influence climate B. indicate that forest fires will pollute the atmosphere C. suggest that people should take measures to protect the environment D. suggest that the fires will speed up climate warming65. The underlined phrase “soaked up” in the last pa
64、ragraph most probably means _.A. released B. absorbed C. created D. disturbed66. From the text we can draw a conclusion that forest fires in Alaska, Canada and Siberia may .A. warm the climate as the assumption goesB. allow more snow to reflect more sunlight into space and thus cool the climateC. de
65、stroy large areas of forests and pollute the far-off sea iceD. help to gain more energy rather than release more energyDSometimes life gets a little dull. What used to be fun and different becomes boring. That is the time to look for something new. It is the time for a big idea to get your mind off
66、everyday life. So why not search for extraterrestrial (地球外的) intelligence? Or even better, why not get your computer to do it for you?Over two million people have joined the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence（SETI）project. Based in California, the SETI project analyzes information taken from a
67、 giant radio telescope based in South America. Its task is to look for signals from outer space that might prove that life exists on other planets.Processing this information is far too big a job for one computer. So the SETI project workers divide the work among volunteers who visit their website.
68、Each computer gets some information to work out from the SETI network through the Internet. This process is often known as “meta-computing”.It is a wonderful thought. You are sleeping, eating a meal or going out with friends. All this time, your computer is searching the stars for signs that might s
69、how something is out there trying to get in touch. Volunteers are proud of being involved in the SETI project. It shows that they understand the potential of computing. They know that it is more than just a way of working or playing games.Meta-computing may also be creating intelligence as well as l
70、ooking for it . This idea is based on the theory that human intelligence is created by the way in which different parts of the brain communicate with each other. As the saying goes, “The whole is more than the sum of its parts.” People who join the SETI project sometimes wonder whether their compute
71、r will become part of a huge network that has learned to think for itself.67. According to the writer, meta-computing may be creating intelligence _.A. because human beings are intelligent B. because a computer works as the brain doesC. because of a network of many computers D. because of the number
72、 of computers68. Which of the following shows the order in which the SETI network works?A. Radio telescopeSETI websiteVolunteers computersSETI baseB. Radio telescopeSETI baseSETI websiteVolunteers computersC. SETI baseSETI websiteVolunteers computersRadio telescopeD. SETI baseRadio telescopeSETI web
73、siteVolunteers computers69. The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to_.A. extra-terrestrial intelligence B. human intelligence C. the SETI project D. meta-computing70. The passage mainly tells us about _.A. a new way to work on the computer B. a new way to work and play gamesC. a new
74、way to search for life outside the earth D. a new way to make life interesting and differentIV.任务型阅读 TelepathyTelepathy（心灵感应）is the ability to communicate without the use of the five senses (sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste). Its an instinct (本能) which can be woken up in times of emergency or nee
75、d. When we feel that something is happening or about to happen by instinct, were using resources within the unconscious mind. When the resources of two persons unconscious minds link together into the same frequency, we call it Telepathy.We can either send or receive Telepathy. If you know who is ca
76、lling before you answer the ringing phone, you are probably a good receiver. If you think of a person and he/she calls you, you are most likely to be better at sending.You can easily put your abilities to the test. Think of somebody and will him or her to contact with you. Be patient. The other pers
77、on may not be a good receiver, but they should contact you much earlier than would normally be expected. Or whenever the phone rings, but try “feeling” who is contacting you. Dont guess, but try to feel it with your mind. However, if neither of these work for you, that doesnt mean that you have no a
78、bility of telepathy. As mentioned earlier, telepathy is most likely to turn up in case of emergency.Telepathy dreams often contain telepathic messages. Two people may both dream of the other and find that their dreams had a clear connection. These people are probably linking to each others unconscio
79、us mind.The more people spend time together, the more likely they are to be able to link up to the others mind, especially when separated. There are two reasons for this. One is that they understand the others mind through time spent together; the other is that there is usually a strong desire to co
80、mmunicate. A mother will often sense that her child is in danger. This is due to the childs eagerly wanting his or her mother, knowing that this is the person who would always want to be there for them, and the mothers deep desire to protect her child from harm.Title: TelepathyDefinitionTelepathy is
81、 what we call when the resources of two persons unconscious minds, which we take (71) _ of when we foresee something by (72)_, link together into the same frequency.A good receiver is someone who knows who is calling before answering the ringing phone.
