20、oday that is 46 our childhood. We no longer have many years to be careless and fancyfree. We are expected to 47 the strict school rules and to excel （擅长）in everything we do. Ive known these things for a long time, and knew that they 48 me. But, I never really admitted it until last night, when I lea
21、rned a 49 lesson, taught to me by my boss where I work. We had finished a job at a remote site. It was about 11:30 at night, and we had 50 to his house. We were talking about the 51 he had been making to his home. One of the things he said was “I 52 my basketball hoop（篮圈）. ”Then he threw a basketbal

To take just one example many people today live together and choose not to get married. This has become accepted by some. But the
27、 English language, like a fussy（大惊小怪的）old grandmother, hasnt quite got used to the idea. How, for example, do you introduce the person you are living with? “Let me introduce you to my man (or woman).” Im afraid that wont do. It sounds as though you are introducing a manservant or a cleaning lady. We
28、ll, what about “my boyfriend (or girlfriend)”? That seems all right, but if youre introducing someone who is over forty or fifty, it sounds rather ridiculous. “My friend”, then; OK, but it doesnt give the full picture, does it? You are more than just friends. And if you say “Were just good friends,
29、people will scream with laughter and immediately assume you are having an affair and want to hide it. Then you might bravely throw back your head and announce in a loud voice; “This is John ( or Mary ). Hes (or shes) my lover.” Well, you could if you wanted to. Some people might even admire you for
30、your courage, but everyone would assume that you were married to someone else, and were introducing the third party who would soon be cited（传唤）in the divorce courts. So what about saying “This is the man (or woman) I live with”? well, for a start, it takes too long to say. Secondly, it is too impers
31、onal. Then if you try the term “my partner”, that makes others think of a dancing partner. Why not simply introduce your partner by his or her first name? “Hello everybody, let me introduce John (or Mary).” A brilliant solution. However, when somebody asks, “Oh, whos John (or Mary)?” you might expla
32、in, “Oh, John (or Mary) is my, er, man (or woman), no, my boyfriend (or girlfriend), I mean my friend, I mean” You see, the grandmotherly English language will forbid you to find a word to describe them.56. The writer mainly wants to tell the readers that _.A. English is too old to be usedB. People
33、shouldnt live together without getting marriedC. Life changes so fast that the language seems to have fallen behindD. People should have a larger vocabulary57. The underlined sentence in the second paragraph “but it doesnt give the full picture” can be replaced by _.A. but the painting is not good e
34、noughB. but it doesnt describe the situation completelyC. but we couldnt find an artist to finish the pictureD. but the person I live with doesnt like the picture58. The writer wrote the passage in a _ tone.A. humorousB. seriousC. scientificD. descriptiveBA detectives work is decided by the type of
35、crime to which he is assigned. An officer working in a big city, either in Britain or America, will deal all day, every day, with violent attack, robberies, thefts, murders whatever comes his way. If he is assigned to a specialist unit, like the Murder Squad in London, his interests are centred on t
36、he people who commit those crimes, and the rest of the world passes him by.The work he does is determined by the laws relating to those crimes, making it hard to compare the work in different countries. The training of detectives, too, is often quite different. When a British detective enters the fo
37、rce he will already have done his sixteen weeks basic training. After two trial years patrolling on the streets he can join the CID the Criminal Investigation Department again on trial, and after two years, if hes good enough, becomes a detective policeman. Then he has a further three months at a de
38、tective training school where the studies are almost entirely in criminal law, and the pass mark is 80 percent. The students get occasional lectures on murder investigations and the use of explosives, but the rest is careful and intensive work.However, in New York there is much less formal training.
39、 A young policeman gets a few weeks in school, mainly learning self-defence and the basic powers of arrest. He then starts learning his trade in earnest on the streets. If he is “active” there, he can be tried out in the detective department there is no school. If he learns fast, he stays. 59. Accor
40、ding to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. A policeman in New York will stay in a detective school for several months before he becomes a real detective.B. If a policeman wants to work in the detective department, he has to walk very fast on the streets.C. It takes a lot more
41、time for a British policeman to become a detective than for an American policeman.D. American detectives are much better because they learn faster.60.

42、different cultures and customsC. they have different incomes.D. laws relating to crimes, which determines the work of a detective, are different.61. It takes about _ for a British policeman to become a detective.A. 55 monthsB. 80 monthsC. 2 yearsD. 16 weeks62. It can be inferred from the passage tha
43、t _.A. the work of detectives in big cities sometimes can be dangerousB. detectives pay attention only to crimes and they dont have any hobbiesC. detectives must be very old in both Britain and AmericaD. detectives in both countries get high pay since they spend so much time working.CSydney (AFP) -

51、I am NOT getting rid of my kitten. There are a few other options of where he can go (not going into that detail) but Id rather him stay with me at my house. I feel like if I get the kitten and the dogs to get along they will be more okay with staying at the house. I introduced them once, the 2 dogs
52、just wanted to play and my kitten was a little scared and was hissing and waving his paw (爪子) like he was going to hit them. I thought they would get along because the dogs are really playful, and the kitten is really playful as well. And I feel like when he (the kitten) gets bigger, he wont be as a
53、fraid. (The dogs are small dogs, but still larger than him as a kitten.) Is there a good way to help push them to getting along and possibly playing?

57、tside in the morning, many of us check a window thermometer(温度计)for the temperature. This helps us decide what to wear. 71 We want our food to be a certain coldness in the refrigerator. We want it a certain hotness in the oven. If we dont feel well, we use a thermometer to see if we have a fever. We
58、 keep our rooms a certain warmth in the winter and a certain coolness in the summer.Not all the thermometers use the same system to measure temperature. We use a system called the Fahrenheit scale. But most other countries use the Centigrade scale. Both systems use the freezing and boiling points of
59、 water as their guide. 72 The most common kind of thermometer is made with mercury(水银)inside a clear glass tube. As mercury (or any other liquid) becomes hot, it expands. As it gets colder, it contracts(收缩). That is why on hot days the mercury line is high in the glass tube. 73 First. Take a clear g

Now that you know this rule you can make a thermometer of your own that will work.D. The water will rise in the straw. As the temperature of the air g
63、oes up, the water willexpand and rise even higher.E. They label these in different ways. On the Fahrenheit scale water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212 degrees. On the Celsius scale water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100degrees.F. Take wax (you may use an old candle if you have one) and m
64、elt some of it right where the straw is struck into the cap to seal (把.粘住) them together.G.
