When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s,we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep.Hi
16、s name was Mr.Basille.He wore a white cap and drove a white truck.As a 5 year-old boy,I couldnt take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt.He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer. Of course,he delivered more than milk.There was cheese,eggs and
17、 so on.If we needed to change our order,my mother would pen a note-“Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivey”-and place it in the box along with the empty bottles.And then,the buttermilk would magically(魔术般)appear. All of this was about more than convenience.There existed a close relationship
18、between families and their milkmen.Mr.Basille even had a key to our house,for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors,so that the milk wouldnt freeze.And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table,having a cup of tea and telling stories a
19、bout his deliveryThere is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete（竞争）. Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service. Recently, an old milk box
20、in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and planted it on the back porch（门廊）.Every so often my sons friends will asked what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk. 36. Mr Basille gave the boy a
21、 quarter out of his coin changer . A.to show his magical power B.to pay for the delivery C.to satisfy his curiosity D.to please his mother 37.

22、reated as a family member. D. He was fully trusted by the family. 38. Why does home milk delivery no longer exist? A. Nobody wants to be a milkman now. B. It has been driven out of the market. C. Its service is getting poor. D. It is forbidden by law.39. Why did the author bring back home an old mil
23、k box? A. He missed the good old days. B. He wanted to tell interesting stories. C. He needed it for his milk bottles. D. He planted flowers in it.B.Open Letter to an Editor I had an interesting conversation with a reporter recently-one who works for you. In fact, hes one of your best reporters. He
24、wants to leave. Your reporter gave me a copy of his resume (简历) and photocopies of six stories that he wrote for you. The headlines showed you played them proudly. With great enthusiasm, he talked about how he finds issues (问题), approaches them, and writes about them, which tells me he is one of you
25、r best. Im sure you would hate to lose him. Surprisingly, your reporter is not unhappy. In fact, he told me he really likes his job. He has a great assignment (分工), and said you run a great paper. It would be easy for you to keep him, he said. He knows that the paper values him. He appreciates the r
26、esponsibility youve given him, takes ownership of his profession, and enjoys his freedom. So why is he looking for a way out? He talked to me because he wants his editors to demand so much more of him. He wants to be pushed, challenged, coached to new heights. The reporter believes that good stories
27、 spring from good questions, but his editors usually ask how long the story will be, when it will be in, where it can play, and what the budget is. He longs for conversations with an editor who will help him turn his good ideas into great ones. He wants someone to get excited about what hes doing an
28、d to help him turn his story idea upside down and inside out, exploring the best ways to report it. He wants to be more valuable for your paper. Thats what you want for him, too, isnt it? So your reporter has set me thinking. Our best hope in keeping our best reporters, copy editors, photographers,
29、artists-everyone-is to work harder to make sure they get the help they are demanding to reach their potential. If we cant do it, theyll find someone who can.40.

Who probably wrote the letter? A. An editor. B. An artist. C. A reporter. D. A reader.43. The letter aims to remind editors that they
31、 should _A. keep their best reporters at all costs B. give more freedom to their reportersC. be aware of their reporters professional developmentD. appreciate their reporters working styles and attitudes CIn the kitchen of my mothers houses there has always been a wooden stand (木架) with a small note
32、pad (记事本) and a hole for a pencil. Im looking for paper on which to note down the name of a book I am recommending to my mother. Over forty years since my earliest memories of the kitchen pad and pencil, five houses later, the current paper and pencil look the same as they always did. Surely it cant
33、 be the same pencil? The pad is more modern, but the wooden stand is definitely the original one. Im just amazed you still have the same stand for holding the pad and pencil after all these years. I say to her, walking back into the living-room with a sheet of paper and the pencil. You still use a p
34、encil. Cant you afford a pen?My mother replies a little sharply. It works perfectly well. Ive always kept the stand in the kitchen. I never knew when I might want to note down an idea, and I was always in the kitchen in those days. Immediately I can picture her, hair wild, blue housecoat covered in
35、flour, a wooden spoon in one hand, the pencil in the other, her mouth moving silently. My mother smiles and says, One day I was cooking and watching baby Pauline, and I had a brilliant thought, but the stand was empty. One of the children must have taken the paper. So I just picked up the breadboard
36、 and wrote it all down on the back. It turned out to be a real breakthrough for solving the mathematical problem I was working on. This storywhich happened before I was bornreminds me how extraordinary my mother was, and is, as a gifted mathematician. I feel embarrassed that I complain about not hav
37、ing enough child-free time to work. Later, when my mother is in the bathroom, I go into her kitchen and turn over the breadboards. Sure enough, on the back of the smallest one, are some penciled marks I recognize as mathematics. Those symbols have travelled unaffected through fifty years, rooted in
38、the soil of a cheap wooden breadboard, invisible (看不到的) exhibits at every meal. 44.Why has the authors mother always kept the notepad and pencil in the kitchen? A.To leave messages. B.To list her everyday tasks. C.To note down maths problems. D.To write down a flash of inspiration. 45.What is the au

40、er mother a lot of trouble C.not making good use of time as her mother did D.not making any breakthrough in her field47.What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A.The mother is successful in her career. B.The family members like travelling. C.The author had little time to play when young. D.The
41、 marks on the breadboard have disappeared. D.On May 23,1989, Stefania Follini came out from a cave at Carlsbad, New Mexico. She hadnt seen the sun for eighteen and a half weeks. Stefania was in a research program, and the scientists in the program were studying body rhythms(节奏). In this experiment S
42、tefania had spent 130 days in a cave, 30 feet in depth.During her time in the cave, Stefania had been completely alone except for two white mice. Her living place had been very comfortable, but there had been nothing to tell her the time. Shed had no clocks or watches, no television or radio. There
43、had been no natural light and the temperature had always been kept at 21.The results were very interesting. Stefania had been in the cave for over four months, but she thought she had been there for only two. Her body clock had changed. She hadnt kept to a 24-hour day, she had stayed awake for 20-25
44、 hours and then had slept for 10 hours. She had eaten fewer meals and had lost 171bs in weight as a result! She had also become rather depressed(抑郁).How had she spent her time in the cave? As part of the experiment shed done some physical and mental tests. Shed recorded her daily activities and the
45、results of the tests on a computer. This computer had been specially programmed for the project. Whenever she was free, shed played cards, read books and listened to music. Shed also learned French from tapes. The experiment showed that our body clocks are affected by light and temperature. For exam
46、ple, the pattern of day and night makes us wake up and go to sleep. However, people are affected in different ways. Some people wake up naturally at 5:00 am, but others dont start to wake up till 9:00 or 10:00 am. This affects the whole daily rhythm. As a result, the early risers, on the other hand,
47、 are tired during the day and only come to life in the afternoon or evening!48. Stefania stayed in the cave for a long time because _.A. she was asked to do research on miceB. she wanted to experience lonelinessC. she was the subject of a studyD. she needed to record her life49.

A novel. B. A news story. C. A pet magazine. D. A travel guide.四、七选五What is critical thinking? To a certain
49、degree, Its a matter of logic (逻辑) - of being able to spot weakness in other peoples arguments and to avoid them in your own. It also includes related skills such as distinguishing fact from opinion and assessing the soundness of evidence. In the broad sense, critical thinking is focused, organized
50、thinking - the ability to see clearly the relationships among ideas. _51_. The greatest thinkers, scientists, and inventors have often taken information that was really available and put it together differently to produce new ideas. That, too, is critical thinking._52_. As the class goes on, for exa
51、mple, you will probably spend a good deal of time organizing your speeches. While this may seem like a purely mechanical (机械的) exercise, it is closely connected with critical thinking. If the structure of your speech is loose and confused, chances are that your thinking is also disordered and confus
52、ed. If, on the other hand, the structure is clear, there is a good chance your thinking is too. Organizing a speech is not just a matter of arranging your ideas you already have. _53_.What is true of organization is true of many aspects of public speaking. _54_. As you work on expressing your ideas
53、in clear accurate language, you will improve your ability to think clearly and accurately. _55_. As you learn to listen critically to speeches in class, you will be better able to assess the ideas of speakers in a variety of situations.If you take full advantage of your speech class, you will be abl
54、e to develop your skills as a critical thinker in many circumstances. This is one reason public speaking has been regarded as a vital part of education since the days of ancient Greece. A. Rather, it is an important part of shaping the ideas themselves.B. This may seem take a lot of time, but the re
55、wards are well worth it.C. It may also help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech.D. It has often been said that there are few new ideas in the world, only reorganized ideas.E. If you are wondering what this has to do with your public speaking class, the answer is quite a lot.F
56、. The skills you learn in your speech class can help you become a more effective thinker in a number of ways.G. As you study the role of evidence and reasoning in speechmaking, you will see how they can be used in other forms of communication as well.五、改错On Saturday afternoon, Li Hua and Wang Ping,

Those who support giving sportsmen high salaries think that athletes have won a great reputation for o
63、ur country in the Olympic Games. Whats more,athletes must undergo painstaking physical and psychological training. Besides,they offer a lot of encouragement to young people to take part in physical activities. However,some people have different ideas. They consider that athletes do little to boost the national economy directly. Thus they should not receive so much money.
