Fortunately, I had saved $120 for 28 to share by all five of us.The big 29 arrived. I gave each kid a twenty-dollar bill and 30 them to look for gifts of about four dol
12、lars each. Then everyone scattered(散开). We had two hours to shop; then we would 31 back at the “Santas Workshop”.Driving home, everyone was in high Christmas spirits, 32 my younger daughter, Ginger, who was unusually 33 . She had only one small, flat bag with a few candies-fifty-cent candies! I was
13、so angry, but I didnt say anything 34_ we got home. I called her into my bedroom and closed the door, 35 to be angry again.

18、Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there dont have names; in Japan, people use landmarks(地标) in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit ma
19、rket. The post office is across from the bus stop.”In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions an
20、d distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it
21、s about five minutes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They dont know.Its true that a person doesnt know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A new Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I dont k
22、now.” People in Yucatan believe that “I dont know” is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!41.When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place, they usually _. A. describe the place carefullyB. show him a map of the place C
23、. tell him the names of the streets D. refer to recognizable buildings and places42.What is the place where people measure distance in time? A. New York. B. Kansas. C. Los Angeles. D. Iowa.43. People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer _. A. in order to save timeB. so as to be polite C. Los
24、 Angeles. D. for fun44. What can we infer from the text? A. Its important for travelers to understand cultural differences. B. Its useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly. C. People have similar understandings of politeness. D. New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.BHeroes
25、of Our TimeA good heartDikembe Mutombo grew up in Africa among great poverty and disease. He came to Georgetown University on a scholarship (奖学金) to study medicine but Coach (教练) John Thompson got a look at Dikembe and had a different idea. Dikembe became a star in the NBA, and a citizen of the Unit
26、ed States. But he never forgot the land of his birth, or the duty to share his fortune with others. He built a new hospital in his old hometown in the Congo. A friend has said of this good-hearted man: “Mutombo believes that God has given him this chance to do great things.”Success and kindnessAfter
27、 her daughter was born, Julie Aigner-Clark searched for ways to share her love of music and art with her child. So she borrowed some equipment, and began filming childrens videos(录像) in her own house. The Baby Einstein Company was born, and in just five years her business grew to more than $20 milli
28、on in sales. And she is using her success to help others producing child safety videos with John Walsh of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Julie says of her new program: “I believe its the most important thing that I have ever done. I believe that children have the right to li
29、ve in a world that is safe.”Bravery and courageA few weeks ago, Wesley Autrey was waiting at a Harlem subway station with his two little girls when he saw a man fall into the path of a train. With seconds to act, Wesley jumped onto the tracks, pulled the man into the space between the rails (铁轨), an
30、d held him as the train passed right above their heads. He insists hes not a hero. He says, “We have got to show each other some love.”45. What was Mutombo praised for? A. Being a star in the NBA.B. His willingness to help the needy.C. His work in the church.D. Being a student of medicine.46. Mutomb
31、o believes that building the new hospital is _. A. helpful to his personal development B. a way of showing his respect to the NBA C. a chance for his friends to share his money D. something he should do for his homeland47. What did the Baby Einstein Company do at its beginning? A. Produce safety equ
32、ipment for children. B. Make videos to help protect children. C. Look for missing and exploited children. D. Sell childrens music and artwork.48. Why was Wesley Autrey praised as a hero? A. He helped a man get across the rails. B. He stopped a man from destroying the rails. C. He saved a person with
33、out considering his own safety. D. He protected two little girls from getting hurt.CTom was one of the brightest boys in the year, with supportive parents. But when he was 15 he suddenly stopped trying. He left school at 16 with only two scores for secondary school subjects. One of the reasons that
34、made it cool for him not to care was the power of his peer (同龄人) group.The lack of right male (男性的) role models in many of their lives at home and particularly in the school environment(环境) means that their peers are the only people they have to judge themselves against.They dont see men succeeding
35、in society so it doesnt occur to them that they could make something of themselves. Without male teachers as a role model, the effect of peer actions and street culture(文化) is all-powerful. Boys want to be part of a club. However, schools can provide the environment for change, and provide the right
36、 role models for them. Teachers need to be trained to stop that but not in front of a childs peers. You have to do it one to one, because that is when you see the real child.Its pointless sending a child home if he or she has done wrong. They see it as a welcome day off to watch television or play c
37、omputer games. Instead, schools should have a special unit where a child who has done wrong goes for the day and gets advice about his problems somewhere he can work away from his peers and go home after the other children.49. Why did Tom give up studying? A. Its cool for boys of his age not to care
38、 about studies. B. His parents no longer supported him. C. He disliked his teachers. D. There were too many subjects in his secondary school.50. What seems to have a bad effect on students like Tom? A. The student judges. B. A special unit. C. Peer groups. D. The home environment.51. What should sch
39、ools do to help the problem schoolboys? A. Give them lessons in a separate area. B. Train leaders of their peer groups. C. Stop the development of street culture. D. Wait for their change patiently.52. A teachers work is most effective with a schoolboy when he _. A. works together with another teach
40、er B. teaches the boy a lesson C. sends the boy home as punishment D. is with the boy aloneDFar from the land of Antarctica(南极洲), a huge shelf of ice meets the ocean. At the underside of the shelf there lives a small fish, the Antarctic cod. For forty years scientists have been curious about that fi
41、sh. How does it live where most fish would freeze to death? It must have some secret. The Antarctic is not a comfortable place to work and research has been slow. Now it seems we have an answer.Research was begun by cutting holes in the ice and catching the fish. Scientists studied the fishs blood a
42、nd measured its freezing point. The fish were taken from seawater that had a temperature of -1.88 and many tiny pieces of ice floating in it. The blood of the fish did not begin to freeze until its temperature was lowered to -2.05. That small difference is enough for the fish to live at the freezing
43、 temperature of the ice-salt mixture. The scientists next research job was clear: Find out what in the fishs blood kept it from freezing. Their search led to some really strange thing made up of a protein (蛋白质) never before seen in the blood of a fish. When it was removed, the blood froze at seawate
44、r temperature. When it was put back, the blood again had its antifreeze quality and a lowered freezing point.Study showed that it is an unusual kind of protein. It has many small sugar molecules (分子) held in special positions within each big protein molecule. Because of its sugar content. It is call
45、ed a glycoprotein. So it has come to be called the antifreeze fish glycoprotein. Or AFGP.53. What is the text mainly about? A. The terrible conditions in the Antarctic. B. The ice shelf around Antarctica. C. A special fish living in freezing waters. D. Protection of the Antarctic cod.54. Why can the
46、 Antarctic cod live at the freezing temperature? A. The seawater has a temperature of -1.88. B. A special protein keeps it from freezing. C. It loves to live in the ice-salt mixture.D. Its blood has a temperature lower than -2.05.55. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A. A n
47、ewly found protein. B. A type of ice-salt mixture. C. Fish blood.D. Sugar molecule.56. What does “glycol-” in the underlined word “glycoprotein” in the last paragraph mean? A. iceB. sugarC. bloodD. moleculeEIf your boss asks you to work in Moscow this year, hed better offer you more money to do so o
48、r even double that depending on where you live now. Thats because Moscow has just been found to be the worlds most expensive city for the second year in a row by Mercer Human Resources Consulting.Using the cost of living in New York as a base, Mercer determined Moscow is 34.4 percent more expensive
49、including the cost of housing, transportation, food, clothing, household goods and entertainment(娱乐).A two-bedroom flat in Moscow now costs $4,000 a month; a CD $24.83, and an international newspaper $6.30, according to Mercer. By comparison, a fast food meal with a hamburger (汉堡包) is a steal at $4.
50、80.London takes the No.2 place, up from No.5 a year ago, thanks to higher cost of housing and a stronger British pound relative to the dollar. Mercer estimates (估算) London is 26 percent more expensive than New York these days. Following London closely are Seoul and Tokyo, both of which are 22 percen
51、t more expensive than New York, while No.5 Hong Kong is 19 percent more costly.Among North American cities, New York and Los Angeles are the most expensive and are the only two listed in the top 50 of the worlds most expensive cities. But both have fallen since last years study New York came in 15th
52、, down from 10th place, while Los Angeles fell to 42nd from 29th place a year ago. San Francisco came in a distant third at No. 54, down 20 places from a year earlier.Toronto, meanwhile, is Canadas most expensive city but fell 35 places to take 82nd place worldwide. In Australia, Sydney is the prici
53、est place to live in and No. 21 worldwide.57. What do the underlined words “a steal” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. an act of stealingB. something very cheap C. something delicious D. an act of buying58. London has become the second most expensive city because of _. A. the high cost of clothing B. its expe
54、nsive transportation C. the stronger pound against the dollar D. the high prices of fast food meals59. Which city is the third most expensive on the list? A. Sydney. B. Hong Kong.C. Moscow.D.
