Most of them managed to get along fairly well, but o
21、neFrancis Blustering, who had been wounded and who never recovered his strength was unable to work like others. In time he became very poor. Yet he was too proud to accept anything from the people in the village. Once, these veterans held a reunion dinner in the home of Jules Grandin, who had made a
22、 good deal of money. Grandin produced a curiosity（珍玩）a large old gold coin. Each man examined it with interest as it passed around the long table. All, however, had drunk wine freely and the room was full of noisy talk, so that the gold piece was soon forgotten. Later, when Grandin remembered it and
23、 asked for it, the coin was missing.One of them suggested everyone be searched, to which all agreed, except Blustering. “You refuse, then?” asked Grandin. Blustering said with a red face, “Yes, I cannot allow it.”One by one, the others turned out their pockets. When the coin failed to appear, attent
24、ion was focused on poor Blustering. Under the pitying stares of his friends, he walked out and returned to his home.A few years later, Grandin made his house repaired. A workman found the gold coin, buried in dirt between planks (木板) of the floor. Hurrying to Blusterings home, Grandin apologized to
25、him. “But why didnt you allow yourself be searched?”“Because I was a thief,” Blustering said brokenly. “For weeks we had not had enough to eat and my pockets were full of food that I had taken from the table to carry home to my wife and hungry children.”46Francis Blustering lived a poor life because
26、 _.A.he was badly wounded in the battleB.he was unable to work like ordinary peopleC.he was too proud to get on well with other peopleD.he was waiting for his chance47The coin was missing because _.A. all the friends were drunk B. the room was too noisyC. they were too excited to pay attention to it
27、 D. Blustering hid it in a secret place48. When Blustering turned red and refused to be searched, all people thought _.A. he was really a poor fellow B. he must have stolen the gold coinC. the coin must be hidden somewhere in the room D. poor Blustering had hidden some food in his pockets49. What ca
28、n we learn from the story?A. Think twice before you make a judgment.B. Blustering is a poor father and husband.C. Blustering would rather live alone than be considered a thief.D. Blustering is an example we should learn from. BIn todays world, almost everyone knows that air pollution and water pollu
29、tion are harmful to peoples health. However, not all the persons know that noise is also a kind of pollution, and that is harmful to human health, too.People who work and live under noisy conditions usually become deaf. Today, however, scientists believe that 10 percent of workers in Britain are bei
30、ng deafened by the noise where they work. Many of the workers who print newspapers and books, and who weave（织） cloth become deaf. Quite a few people living near airports also become deaf. Recently it was discovered that many teenagers in America could hear no better than 65-year-old persons, for the
31、se young people like to listen to pop music and most of pop music is a kind of noise. Besides, noise produced by jet planes or machines will make peoples life difficult and unpleasant, or even make people ill or even drive them mad.It is said that a continuous noise of over 85 decibels（分贝） can cause
32、 deafness. Now the governments in many countries have made laws to control noise and make it less than 85 decibels.In China, the government is trying to solve not only air and water pollution problems but also noise pollution problems.50. The passage is mainly about _ . A. air pollution B. water pol
33、lution C. noise pollution D. world pollution 51. According to the passage, a continuous noise of _decibels can make people deaf. A. less than 85 B. less than 65 C. about 65 D. more than 85 52. 10 percent of the workers in Britain are being deafened because _ . A. they are working in noisy places B.
34、they often listen to pop music C. they live near airports D. they are too busy to listen to otherstalkCAnimals seem to have the sense to eat when they are hungry and they do not eat more than their bodies need. It has been shown that rats will, when given a choice over a period of time, prefer water
35、 with vitamins(维生素) to water without vitamins, even though there is no difference in taste or smell between the two water bottles. When a sweet smell was added to the vitamins-enriched water, the rats did seem to develop a taste for it and kept drinking it, even after the vitamins were changed to th
36、e clear water. In time(最后), however, they broke the habit and went back to where the necessary vitamins were.In experiments, babies of 6 to 12 months old were placed in a room with a wide choice of baby food before them. They were given whatever food they pointed to or appeared interested in. We are
37、 told that at first they showed some unusual eating habits, but that over a period of time they managed to choose a well-balanced diet.So in choosing food, rats and babies do seem to know and act on whats best for them. Clearly, there is a kind of “body wisdom”, which humans soon lose. Most of us do
38、 not eat as wisely as we could. Many of our food preferences are culturally determined and influenced by old habits. Some people eat foxes, dogs and blackbirds, while we eat cows and pigs. So what people eat and how many they eat seem to be greatly influenced by what is going around them.53. In the
39、experiment on rats, a sweet smell was added to the rats drinking water to .A. encourage rats to drink vitamins-enriched waterB. find out rats preference in flavor(口味)C. test whether rats know which drink is good for themD. show the vitamins are tasteless54. Talking about eating habits, babies and ra
40、ts are just like each other because .A. both have the wisdom to choose a balanced dietB. both prefer flavored food and drinkC. both have the same eating habitsD. both develop a taste for the same kinds of flavors55 In the experiment mentioned in the second paragraph, babies were .A. given many choic
41、es of drinks B. given all kinds of baby foodC. placed and fed in a hospital D. trained to select a balanced diet56. According to the passage, grown-up peoples eating habits differ from those of babies in that _ .A. they know better than babies what kinds of food are good for their healthB. they usua
42、lly cannot say no to all kinds of delicious foodsC. their eating habits have much to do with the social and cultural customs (文化习俗)D. they have more choices of food than babies in eating patternsD.Basic Study Manual Hardcover: $ 37.50Future success depends on the ability to learn.

52、ary wordsSpeaking to a group can be difficult, but listening to a bad speech is truly a tiresome taskespecially when the speaker is confusing. Dont want to confuse your audience? Follow these suggestions:61. When it comes to understanding new information, the human brain needs a little time. First,
53、we hear the words; then, we compare the new information to what we already know. If the two are different, we need to pause and think. But a breathless speaker never stops to let us think about what he or she is saying and risks confusing us. Slow it.62. Sometimes we all start a sentence one way and
54、 then switch directions, which is very difficult to follow. When you the audience confuse your listeners with opposing information, you leave the audience wondering what part of the information is right and what part they should remember. Instead of relying and keeping correcting yourself, work to g
55、et the facts clear and straight.63. Jumping from point to point as it comes to your mind puts the onus (责任）on your listeners to make up for your lack of organization. And its confusing for them to listen, reorganize, and figure out what youre saying all at once. But going smoothly from one point to
56、the next helps them understand information more easily. You can arrange things from beginning to end, small to large, top to bottom or by some other order. Just be sure to organize.64.Repeated use of um, ah, like, you know and some other useless noises can drive an audience crazy. It makes the speak
57、er sound uncertain and unprepared, and it can leave listeners so annoyed that they cant pay attention. Recently I attended a speech that was marked by so many ums that audience members were rolling their eyes. Was anybody grasping the intended message? Um, probably not.65. Many speakers finish up th
58、eir speeches with question-and-answer (Q & A) sessions, but some let the Q & A go on without a clear end. The audience is often left confused about whether the meeting is over and when they can get up and leave. Do your listeners a favour by setting a time limit on questions, and close your speech w
59、ith a specific signaleven if its something simple like, “If you have any more questions, you know where to reach me.”Or even more to the point, conclude your speech with “Thanks for your time. ”第卷 （非选择题，共55分）第一节 单词拼写（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）根据下列各句句意和空白之后的汉语提示词，在答题卡指定区域的横线上写出对应单词的正确形式，每空只写一词。66.
