It was on a hill top, and the hill top was planted with a few sparse pines. It had a small neat garden a
27、nd a large elderly man was watering with a big tin.Spences hair was now grey all over. He had not shrunk much in girth（围长）, though. He stopped watering and looked at the visitor at the gate. Hercule Poirot stood there without moving. “God bless my soul,” said Spence. “It must be. It cant be but it i
28、s. Yes, it must be Hercule Poirot!”“Aha,” said Poirot, “you remember me. Im grateful.”Spence abandoned the watering can and came down to the gate.“What brings you down here?”“What has brought me to many places in my time,” said Poirot, “and what once a good many years ago brought you to see me. Murd
29、er, Spence.”“Im done with murder since I retired,” said Spence, “except in the case of weeds. Killing weeds is never easy as you think, somethings always wrong. How did you know where to find me?” he asked as he opened the gate and Poirot passed through.“You sent me a Christmas card. It had your new
30、 address on it.”“Ah yes, so I did. Im old-fashioned, you know, I like to send round cards at Christmas time to a few old friends. Im an old man now.”“We both are.”“Not much grey in your hair,” said Spence.“I take care of my hair with a bottle,” said Poirot. “There is no need to appear in public with
31、 grey hair unless you wish to do so. By the way, why have you come to live in Woodleigh Common?”“As a matter of fact, I came here to join forces with a sister of mine. She lost her husband, her children are married and living abroad. So I moved in here. Pensions（退休金）dont go far nowadays, but we do c

34、tion to your daily elevator ride. Many of us use a lift several times during the day without really thinking about it. But Lee Gray, PhD, of the University of North Carolina, US, has made it his business to examine this overlooked form of public transport. He is known as the “Elevator Guy”. “The lif
35、t becomes this interesting social space where etiquette（礼仪）is sort of strange,” Gray told the BBC. “They are socially very interesting but often very awkward places.” We walk in and usually turn around to face the door. If someone else comes in, we may have to move. And here, according to Gray, lift
36、users unthinkingly go through a set pattern of movements. He told the BBC what he had observed. He explained that when you are the only one inside a lift, you can do whatever you want its your own little box. If there are two of you, you go into different corners, standing diagonally（对角线地）across fro
37、m each other to create distance. When a third person enters, you will unconsciously form a triangle. And when there is a fourth person it becomes a square, with someone in every corner. A fifth person is probably going to have to stand in the middle. New entrants to the lift will need to size up the
38、 situation when the doors slide open and then act decisively. Once in, for most people the rule is simple look down, or look at your phone. Why are we so awkward in lifts? “You dont have enough space,” Professor Babette Renneberg, a clinical psychologist at the Free University of Berlin, told the BB
39、C. “Usually when we meet other people we have about an arms length of distance between us. And thats not possible in most elevators.” In such a small, enclosed space it becomes very important to act in a way that cannot be construed（理解）as threatening or strange. “The easiest way to do this is to avo
40、id eye contact,” she said.59. The main purpose of the article is to _.A. share an interesting but awkward elevator rideB. tell us some unwritten rules of elevator etiquetteC. analyze what makes people feel awkward in an elevatorB. remind us not to behave strangely when in an elevator60. According to
41、 Gray, when people enter an elevator, they usually _.A. turn around and greet one anotherB. look around or examine their phoneC. try to keep a distance from other peopleD. make eye contact with those in the elevator61. Which of the following describes how people usually stand when they are in the el

51、hrough my parents house, the same house I grew up in, I had a sudden, scary realization. When my parents bought the house, in 1982, they were only two years older than I am now. I tried to imagine myself in two years, ready to settle down and buy the house Id still be living in almost 30 years later
52、. It seemed ridiculous. On a practical level, theres no way I could afford to buy a house anytime soon. More importantly, I wouldnt want to. Im not sure where Ill be living in two years, or what kind of job Ill have. And I dont think Ill be ready to settle down and stay in one place. So this is prob
53、ably the generation gap that divides my friends and me from our parents. When our parents were our age, theyd gotten their education, chosen a career, and were starting to settle into responsible adult lives. My friends and I “Generation Y” still arent sure what we want to do with our lives. Whateve
54、r we end up doing, we want to make sure were happy doing it. Wed rather take risks first, try out different jobs, and move from one city to another until we find our favorite place. Wed rather spend our money on travel than put it in a savings account. This casual attitude towards responsibility has
55、 caused some critics to call my generation “arrogant”, “impatient”, and “overprotected”. Some of these complaints have a point. As children we were encouraged to succeed in school, but also to have fun. We grew up in a world full of technological innovation: cellphones, the Internet, instant messagi
56、ng, and video games. Our parents looked to rise vertically（垂直的） starting at the bottom of the ladder and slowly making their way to the top, on the same track, often for the same company. That doesnt apply to my generation. Because of that, it may take us longer than our parents to arrive at respons
57、ible, stable adulthood. But thats not necessarily a bad thing. In our desire to find satisfaction, we will work harder, struggle for ways to keep life interesting, and gain a broader set of experiences and knowledge than our parents generation did. 67. What is the main “generation gap” between the a
58、uthor and her friends and their parents according to the article?A. Their ways of gaining experience.B. Their attitude towards responsibility. C. Their attitude toward high technology.D. Their ways of making their way to the top.68. Which of the following might the author agree with?A. It involves t
59、oo much effort to rise vertically. B. Its better to take adult responsibility earlier. C. Its all right to try more before settling down. D. Its ridiculous to call her generation “arrogant”.69. What can we conclude from the article?A. The author is envious of her parents enjoying a big house at her
60、age. B. “Generation Y” people dont want to grow up and rush into adulthood.C. Growing up in a hi-tech world makes “Generation Y” feel insecure about relationships.D. The author wrote this article so that others would be able to understand her generation better.70. What is the main theme of the artic
61、le? A. Criticisms of the young generation. B. The sudden realization of growing up. C. A comparison between lifestyles of generations. D. The factors that have changed the young generation.EScotland is a unique place, loaded with history, where you can find aristocratic（贵族的）palaces and castles, as w
62、ell as the traditional parades in national costumes. In order to see and discover the true soul of Scotland today and what formed the character of this splendid region, we have to go towards the northern regions, to the Grampian Mountains（格兰扁山区）, beautiful and plain. The Scots conquered the environm
63、ent with simple spades and strong arms, for it was difficult to farm. The history of this ancient struggle, and its peoples ancient love with the hard land, can be felt within the walls of the Angus Folk Museum. You are able to get a feel of the typical rural atmosphere of times past from the everyd
64、ay artifacts displayed here.From coastal Aberdeen in towards the Grampian Mountains there runs the Castle Trail, a road that touches on many fortresses（堡垒）, which are witnesses of continual fights against the control of neighboring England in Scottish history. Perhaps the most exciting moment for Sc
65、ottish autonomy is the one experienced inside this ancient church of Arbroath, where, in 1320, the Declaration of Independence was celebrated, at the instigation（鼓动）of King Robert the Bruce. He carried out the plan for autonomy drawn up by the great popular hero William Wallace, for whom cinema has
66、designed the wonderful film Brave Heart, the winner of the five Oscars. This is Glamis Castle, where King Macbeth and Queen Elizabeth used to live. Among the most frequent guests here are the predictable ghosts, if not actually created, by ancient popular beliefs. These have been handed down over th
67、e centuries by people tending to live with mystery, with the forces of the supernatural. Another attraction here is a legendary monster: the Loch Ness Monster. Whether its real or imaginary, this monster, which has been nicknamed Nessie, has collected a good 3,000 sightings over the last 50 years.Th
68、e true flag of Scotland, tartan, is recognizable from the brightly colored plaid patterns which are used to distinguish the various social groups.
