At those times, his large Norwegian frame shook with laughter while he pretended innocent surprise, exclaiming, “Oh, forevermore!” But on a cold Saturday in downtown Chicago, Grandpa felt that God played a trick on him, and grandpa wasnt laughing.
18、Grandpa worked as a carpenter. On this particular day, he was building some boxes for the clothes his church was sending to an orphanage abroad. On his way home, he reached into his shirt pocket to find his glasses, but they were gone. He remembered putting them there that morning, so he drove back
19、to the churchHis search proved fruitless.Suddenly, he realized what had happened. The glasses had slipped out of his pocket unnoticed and fallen into one of the boxes, which he had nailed shut. His brand new glasses were heading for China!The Great Depression was at its height, and Grandpa had six c
20、hildren. He had spent twenty dollars for those glasses that very morning.“Its not fair,” he told God as he drove home in frustration. “Ive been very faithful in giving of my time and money to your work, and now this.”Several months later, the director of the orphanage was on vacation in the United S
21、tatesHe wanted to visit all the churches that supported him, so he came to speak on Sunday night at my grandfathers small church in ChicagoGrandpa and his family sat in their usual seats among the small congregation（教堂会众）.“But most of all,” he said, “I must thank you for the glasses you sent last ye
22、ar.”“Even if I had the money, there was simply no way of replacing those glassesAlong with not being able to see well, I experienced headaches every day, so my co-workers and I were much in prayer about thisThen your boxes arrivedWhen my staff removed the covers, they found a pair of glasses lying o
23、n the top.” After a long pause, he continued, “Folks, when I tried on the glasses, it was as though they had been custom-made just for me! I want to thank you for being a part of that!”The people listened, happy for the amazing glassesBut the director surely must have confused their church with anot
24、her, they thought, there were no glasses on their list of items to be sent overseas.But sitting quietly in the back, with tears streaming down his face, an ordinary carpenter realized the Master Carpenter had used him in an extraordinary way.56Which of the following is NOT true about Grandpa Nybakke
25、n according to the passage?AHe was an outgoing man and held an active attitude towards life.BHe had a large family to support.CHe was a carpenter working in the church.DHe was a loyal Christian.57The people in the church but Grandpa felt confused at what the director said because _.AGrandpa didnt te

27、r to?AGrandpas master BOne of Grandpas friends CGod DGrandpas co-worker.59Which can be the best title of the passage?AGrandfathers life BThe Helpful DonationCThe Perfect Mistake DAn Impressive Speech BWe can achieve knowledge either actively or passively. We achieve it actively by direct experience,
28、 by testing and proving an idea, or by reasoning.We achieve knowledge passively by being told by someone else. Most of the learning that takes place in the classroom and the kind that happens when we watch TV or read newspapers or magazines is passive. Conditioned as we are to passive learning, its
29、not surprising that we depend on it in our everyday communication with friends and co-workers.Unfortunately, passive learning has a serious problem. It makes us tend to accept what we are told even when it is little more than hearsay and rumor(谣言).Did you ever play the game Rumor? It begins when one
30、 person writes down a message but doesnt show it to anyone. Then the person whispers it, word for word, to another person. That person, in turn, whispers it to still another, and so on, through all the people playing the game. The last person writes down the message word for word as he or she hears
31、it. Then the two written statements are compared. Typically, the original message has changed.Thats what happens in daily life. The simple fact that people repeat a story in their own words changes the story. Then, too, most people listen imperfectly. And many enjoy adding their own creative touch t
32、o a story, trying to improve on it, stamping（打上标记）it with their own personal style. Yet those who hear it think they know.This process is also found among scholars and authors: A statement of opinion by one writer may be restated as a fact by another, who may in turn be quoted by yet another; and th
33、is process may continue, unless it occurs to someone to question the facts on which the original writer based his opinion or to challenge the interpretation he placed upon those facts.60. According to the passage, passive learning may occur in _. A. doing a medical experiment B. solving a math probl
34、em C. visiting an exhibition D. doing scientific reasoning61. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refers to _. A. active learningB. knowledge C. communication D. passive learning62.

35、hould be delivered in different ways C. people may have problems with their sense of hearing D. people tend not to believe in what they know as rumor63. What can we infer from the passage? A. Active learning is less important.B. Passive learning may not be reliable. C. Active learning occurs more fr
36、equently.D. Passive learning is not found among scholars. C WASHINGTON(Reuters)Federal Government Agencies in the capital region will remain closed for a second day on Tuesday as residents trying to clean up the weekend storm that shocked the area with two feet of snow. Another big winter storm was
37、expected to hit the U.S. midAtlantic on Tuesday and last through Wednesday, the National Weather Service forecast on Monday. Projected snowfall is ranged from 10 to 20 inches, it said. The new storm was expected to hit other big cities along the East Coast, including Baltimore and Philadelphia, whic
38、h is still extending into New Jersey and New York. It would pile on to the 32 inches of snow that fell in suburban Washington in the biggest snowfall to hit the city in decades. The Office of Personnel Management announced on Monday evening that Federal Government Offices in the Washington area woul
39、d be closed on Tuesday. Emergency employees were expected to report for work in time, but nonemergency employees were excused.

His friend Tony had recently gotten a tattoo, and Jack was so impressed by it that he decided to get one too. Peer pressure, media influence, and personal expressio
47、n are some of the common reasons for wearing tattoos today.The desire to be accepted by ones friends or peers can have a great influence on what a person does. Sometimes, wearing a tattoo can be a sign that you belong to a certain group. Gangs often use special clothes and tattoos to identify their
48、particular group. Some of these groups wear only brand-name clothes. Others wear tattoos. When a persons friends are all doing something, that person is more likely to do the same thing.The media is another big influence behind the popularity of tattoos in North America. A wide variety of media imag
49、es show tattoospeople appearing in commercials selling expensive cars, famous sports heroes with tattoos in magazines, fashion models wearing designer clothes that show their bodies tattooed with detailed and colorful patterns. These media images link tattoos to ideas of wealth, success, and status.
50、 As a result, many people decide to get a tattoo for its fashion and status value. Many people decide to wear tattoos in order to express their artistic nature, their beliefs, or their feelingsin other words, to show their individuality(个性). A musician in a rock band may get a tattoo of a guitar on
51、the arm. Some environmentalists may tattoo pictures of endangered animals on their shoulders.
