Some of these people made a great impact on my l
24、ife, my views and personal philosophy. Others I met had the opposite effect because they represented attitudes, behavior and beliefs that were directly opposed to my views on life and my feelings about the value of all people. One such person I met was a woman in her late seventies. She had been an
25、active woman, raised a family and had engaged in helping others, and developed her own crafts to sell at selected craft shows throughout the year. When I met her for the first time, I couldnt believe that she was in her late seventies I would have placed her age more in her early sixties. After spea
26、king with her for a short period, it was only then that the conversation seemed to turn to age. And, it wasnt a conversation about the frailty (脆弱) of age, or the aches and pains, or about pleasures lost. The conversation, instead, focused on her zest for life and all the things that she was in the
27、planning stages of doing. And, what she was planning to do wasnt about going to a seniors group so she and her husband could go on a bus tour. What she was planning was an excursion (旅行) to Europe, unaccompanied by any tour operator or taken around the usual sights by a local guide. She really impre
28、ssed me a lot because of her zest for life; for an uncompromising view of the future not in the least affected by her age; for the undying faith in knowing that there was a great deal of life yet to be discovered and experienced and yearning for each new image, discussion, smell, cultural uniqueness
29、 or experience. 51.From the text we know_.A. the woman had much sight-seeing around the world. B. the woman was willing to help others.

31、h paragraph probably means“_”.A. enthusiasm B. concept C. view D. satisfaction BAccording to a new study by Israel researchers from University of Haifa, posting blogs to express feelings and emotions is therapeutic for children aged 13-17. Psychology professors Meyran Boniel-Nissim and Azy Barak hav
32、e found that a teenager writing a publicly-viewed blog on the Internet is more effective for relieving stress rather than keeping a private diary. The study, published in the journal Psychological Services, supports that expressing oneself through writing can be therapeutic.To conduct the research,
33、Boniel-Nissim and Barak randomly selected Israeli high school students who displayed a certain degree of stress. The teenagers were then divided into six groups. Two groups were asked to post blogs twice a week about their social difficulties, but only one of them was asked to open the blogs for com
34、ments. The next set of groups were also asked to blog twice a week to post about whatever was going on in their mind, again with one group allowing comments. The two control groups were asked to keep an old-fashioned private diary. The researchers then collected the blog posts and diaries to discuss
35、 the adolescents emotional and social position. From the research, they saw that the greatest improvement in mood was with the bloggers who wrote about their personal troubles and allowed people to interact with their posts. The research also noted that the comments were mostly positive and construc
36、tive. Boniel-Nissim and Barak said that the commentators interactions helped the bloggers while they were distressed. The conclusive research noted that expressing yourself on the Internet not only let others know what was personally going on with you, but also helped you figure out some things abou
37、t yourself too.55.The underlined word “therapeutic” in Paragraph 1 can be best explained as “ ”.A. attractive to teens B. addictive for childrenC. making people feel calm and relaxedD. able to be easily hurt56._were selected for the research.A. Those who blogged regularly.B. Those who suffered from
38、stress. C. Those who had never blogged before.D. Those who had poor social skills. 57.The research shows that teens benefit most when .A. they blog and allow commentsB. they discuss their study on the blogC. they keep a traditional diaryD. they comment on someone elses blog 58.We can infer from the
39、last paragraph that blogging _.A. should not always be opened to commentsB. is most useful in improving ones moodC. is not an effective way to express ones feelings D. can help students see their problems better COn October 23, 2011, David Pologruto, a high school physics teacher, was stabbed (刺) by
40、 his smart student Jason Haffizulla. Jason got straight As and was determined to study medicine at Harvard, yet this was his downfall. His physics teacher gave Jason a B, a mark Jason believed would undermine (损害) his entrance to Harvard. After receiving his B, Jason took a butcher knife to school a
41、nd stabbed his physics teacher.How can someone as smart as Jason do something so dumb? Studies show there is little or no correlation between IQ and emotional intelligence.During my early university years, I regarded myself as an intelligent guy. I got good marks in mathematics, physics, and other s
42、ubjects. I thought such skills would surely give me a bright future. After one year of study with decent marks, I began to see two major classes of students. The first category of students turned up to few lectures, partied every weekend, enjoyed a great social life, and did minimal work to pass cou
43、rses. The second category of students were intelligent and hard workers who got good grades and were very focused on their studies. Surely would these intelligent and hard-working students find the great jobs before the other lazier class of students?Not so. Students are often shocked upon graduatio
44、n that their qualifications are not as important as they once thought. Graduates enter the workforce only to realize that co-workers hate them and less intelligent people are the ones receiving promotions. Educational skills are useless in some industries when interpersonal skills are absent. You ca
45、n have great ideas, theories, and solve complex problems, but if you cannot effectively communicate in a persuasive and exciting manner by relating to your fellow humans, you will face an uphill battle in whatever challenges you encounter. Its not that people dislike you because of your intelligence
46、; its that people dislike you because youre rude and not understanding. The intelligent person with poor communication skills is insensitive or unaware of others emotions.59.Jason Haffizulla stabbed his physics teacher because .A. he was unfairly treated by his teacher B. he was disappointed with hi
47、s downfall C. he was not smart enough at studies D. he got a worse mark than usual 60.We can infer from the third paragraph that the author in his early university years.A. didnt think communication skills were as important as intelligence B. didnt work hardC. belonged to the first category of stude
48、ntsD. could keep a balance between social life and studies 61.Intelligent people are hated because .A. they can solve more complex problems B. they cant settle the challenges they meetC. they are envied for their intelligence D. they are not understanding enough 62.The main purpose of the text is to
49、 tell us .A. the relationship between IQ and emotional intelligenceB. what kind of students can succeed in college C. smart people may have poorer communication skillsD. intelligent students will meet more challenges at work DAn “apple polisher” is one who gives gifts to win friendship or special tr
50、eatment. It is not exactly a bribe(贿赂),but is close to it.All sorts of people are apple polishers, including politicians and people in high offices just about everybody. Oliver Cromwell, the great English leader, offered many gifts to win the support of George Fox and his party, but failed. There ar
51、e other phrases meaning the same thing as “apple-polishing” “soft-soaping” or “butter-up”. A gift is just one way to “soft-soap” somebody, or to “butter him up”. Another that is just as effective is flattery, giving someone high praise telling him how good he looks, or how well he speaks, or how tal
52、ented and wise he is.Endless are the ways of flattery. Who does not love or hear it ? Only an unusual man can resist the thrill of being told how wonderful he is. In truth, flattery is good medicine for most of us, who gets so little of it.We need it to be more sure of ourselves. It cannot hurt unle
53、ss we get carried away by it. But we just lap it up for its food value and nourishment, as a cat laps up milk, then we can still remain true to ourselves.Sometimes, however, flattery will get you nothing from one who has had too much of it. A good example is the famous 12th century legend of King Ca
54、nute of Denmark and England. The king got tired of listening to the endless sickening flattery of his courtiers（朝臣）.They overpraised him to the skies, as a man of limitless power.He decided to teach them a lesson. He took them to the seashore and sat down. Then he ordered the waves to stop coming in
55、. The tide was too busy to listen to him. The king was satisfied. This might show his followers how weak his power was and how empty their flattery.63.Which of the following activities has nothing to do with “apple-polishing” ?A. A boy tells his girlfriend how pretty she looksB. An employee tells hi
56、s boss how good he is at managementC.A knight(骑士)is said to be of limitless power by his followersD.A teacher praised his students for their talent and wisdom.64.Which of the following statement about flattery is TRUE according to the author ?A. Too much flattery can carry us away B. Flattery is too
57、 empty to do people any good C. Flattery can get nothing but excessive(过度的)pride D. Flattery is one of the ways to apple-polish people.65. King Canute of Denmark and England took his followers to the seashore because _.A. he was sick of his normalB. he disliked being overpraised any moreC. he wanted

59、t gloriously in history books are great conquerors and generals and soldiers, whereas the people who really helped civilization forward are often never mentioned at all.We do not know who first set a broken leg, or launched a seaworthy boat, or calculated the length of the year; but we know all abou
60、t the killers and destroyers. People think a great deal of them, so much so that on all the highest pillars in the great cities of the world you will find the figure of a conqueror or a general or a soldier. And I think most people believe that the greatest countries are those that have beaten in ba
61、ttle the greatest number of other countries and ruled over them as conquerors.It is just possible they are, but they are not the most civilized. Animals fight; so do savages; hence to be good at fighting is to be good in the way in which an animal or a savage（野人） is good, but it is not to be civiliz
62、ed. Even being good at getting other people to fight for you and telling them how to do it most efficientlythis, after all, is what conquerors and generals have doneis not being civilized. People fight to settle quarrels. Fighting means killing, and civilized people ought to be able to find some way
63、 of setting their disputes other than by seeing which side can kill off the greater number of the other side, and then saying that that side which has killed most has won. And not only has it won, but because it has won, it had been in the right. For that is what going to war means; it means saying
