16、er know it. She makes such good use of her other 36 , including her sixth sense, that she hardly gives the impression that she has 37 anything.

17、 knows when to clean the house, and she moves around so fast that 40 often dont realize shes blind. I 41 this the first time after my six-year-old daughter, Kayla, went to play there.

Blue and red make purple, and yellow and blue make green! And Jennifer 45 with us”. To my great 46 , my child had learnt about color from a blind friend! T
19、hen Kayla continued, “Jennifer told me my 47 showed joy, pride and a sense of accomplishment（成就感）. She really _48 what I was doing!” Kayla said she had never known how good finger paints felt 49 Jennifer showed her how to paint without looking at her paper. I realized Kayla didnt know that Jennifer
20、was blind. It had just never 50 in conversation. When I told my daughter that Jennifer was blind, she was 51 for a moment. At first, she didnt believe me. “But Mommy, Jennifer knew exactly what was in my picture!” Kayla 52 . And I knew my child was 53 because Jennifer had listened to Kayla describe
21、her art work. Jennifer had also heard Kaylas 54 in her work.We were silent for a minute. Then Kayla said slowly, “You know, Mommy, Jennifer really didnt see my picture.

The other day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to Washington and the girl in the ticket office said, “I
25、m sorry, I cant sell you a ticket. Our computer is down.” “If your computer is down, just write me out a ticket.” “I cant write you out a ticket. The computer is the only one allowed to do so.” I looked down on the computer and every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and staring at t
26、he black screen. Then I asked her, “What do all you people do?” “We give the computer the information about your trip, and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not.” “So when it goes down, you go down with it.” “Thats good, sir.” “How long will the computer be down?” I wanted to know.“I h
27、ave no idea. Sometimes its down for 10 minutes, sometimes for two hours. Theres no way we can find out without asking the computer, and since its down it wont answer us.” After the girl told me they had no backup(备用) computer, I said. “Lets forget the computer. What about your planes? Theyre still f
28、lying, arent they?” “I couldnt tell without asking the computer.” “Maybe I could just go to the gate and ask the pilot if hes flying to Washington, ” I suggested.“I wouldnt know what gate to send you to. Even if the pilot was going to Washington, he couldnt take you if you didnt have a ticket.” “Is
29、there any other airline flying to Washington within the next few hours?” “I wouldnt know, ” she said, pointing at the dark screen. “Only IT knows. It cant tell me.” By this time there were quite a few people standing in lines. The word soon spread to other travelers that the computer was down. Some
30、people went white, some people started to cry and still others kicked their luggage.56. The best title for the article is _.A. When the Computer Is Down B. The Most Frightening WordsC. The Computer of the Airport D. Asking the Computer57. What could the girl in the ticket office do for the passenger

33、ve just arrived in Toronto after a long flight, and all you really want to do is to lie down and relax in your hotel room. But first you have to make a few quick notes for tomorrows meeting, then check your e-mails, and perhaps print out a few things. And you need to make a few local telephone calls
34、, and one call home to your family.60. The advertisement is intended for_. A. airline staffB. business peopleC.secretariesD. tourists61. What must the guest do if he wants a secretary? A.

36、dard information services.D. It makes arrangements to meet guests needs. CCan people change their skin colour without suffering like pop king Michael Jackson? Perhaps yes. Scientists have found the gene that determines skin colour.The gene comes in two versions, one of which is found in 99 per cent
37、of Europeans. The other is found in 93 to 100 per cent of Africans, researchers at Pennsylvania State University report in the latest issue of Science.Scientists have changed the colour of a dark-striped zebrafish to uniform gold by inserting a version of the pigment (色素) gene into a young fish. As
38、with humans, zebrafish skin colour is determined by pigment cells, which contain melanosomes (黑色素). The number, size and darkness of melanosomes per pigment cell determines skin colour.It appears that, like the golden zebrafish, light-skinned Europeans also have a mutation(变异) in the gene for melano
39、some production. This results in less pigmented skin.However, Keith Cheng, leader of the research team, points out that the mutation is different in human and zebrafish genes.Humans acquired dark skin in Africa about 1.5 million years ago to protect bodies from ultra-violet rays of the sun (太阳光紫外线),
40、 which can cause skin cancer.But when modern humans leave Africa to live in northern latitudes, they need more sunlight on their skin to produce vitamin D. So the related gene changes, according to Cheng.Asians have the same version of the gene as Africans, so they probably acquired their light skin
41、 through the action of some other gene that affects skin colour, said Cheng.The new discovery could lead to medical treatments for skin cancer. It also could lead to research into ways to change skin colour without damaging it like chemical treatment did on Michael Jackson.64. The passage mainly tel
42、ls us that _. A. people can not change their skin colour without any pain B. the new discovery could lead to search into ways to change skin colour safely C. pop king Michael Jackson often changed his skin colour as he liked D. scientists have found out that peoples skin colour is determined by the
43、gene65. It can be inferred from the passage that _. A. nowadays people who want to change their skin colour have to suffer a lot from the damage caused by the chemical treatment B. Europeans and Africans have the same gene C. the new discovery could help to find medical treatments for skin cancer D.
44、 there are two kinds of genes66. Scientists have done an experiment on a dark-striped zebrafish in order to _. A. find the different genes of humans B. prove the humans skin colour is determined by the pigment gene C. find out the reason why the Africans skin colour is dark D. find out the ways of c
45、hanging peoples skin colour67. The reason why Europeans are light-skinned is probably that _. A. they are born light-skinned people B. light-skinned Europeans have mutation in the gene for melanosome production C. they have fewer activities outside D. they pay much attention to protecting their skin
46、68. The writers attitude towards the discovery is _. A. neutralB. negativeC. positiveD. indifferentDFew of us make money by losing sleepBut three graduate students at Brown University in Providence built a company around sleep deprivation （睡眠不足）Jason Donahue, Ben Rubin and Eric Shashoua were working

The reason is that we are all afraid of making fools of ourselves. The more important the speech is, the more frightened we become.But stop biting your finge
61、r-nails. Public speaking is easy. Its just plain talking, and you talk all the time. Although Im basically shy (honest!), Ive been making speeches and talking on radio and television for more than 30 years, and I can tell you that public speaking is not a “gift” like musical talent. Anybody who can
62、talk can speak in public. Here are some of the lessons I have learned:Your audience is going to come away with one or two of your main ideas. One or two. Not ten or 20. If you cant express in a sentence or two what you intend to get across, then your speech is not focused well enough. And if you don
63、t have a clear idea of what you want to say, theres no way your audience will.No matter how long or short your speech is, youve got to get your ducks in a rowhow you are going to open, what major points you want to make and how youre going to close.When I do a radio or TV piece, I often write the la
64、st sentence first. When you know where youre headed, you can choose any route to get there. A strong close is critical: the last thing you say is what your audience will most likely remember.The standard length of a vaudeville act is usually 12 minutes. If all those performers singing and dancing th
