She recei
26、ved many awards and honors for her contributions to childrens literature. When people talk about her creativity in artwork, she said, “I do it to support my dogs and my four children.” Her great publishing record, the number of magazine stories that have been written about her over the years, and he
27、r admirers have no effects on her at all.Much of Tashas artwork and her reading are done in the wintertime. “I love winter. Its delightful,” she says. “I dont have to go anywhere because I work at home. If Im snowed in, I can stay this way for months.” She hopes for early, deep snow to protect her g
28、arden from the hardship of the New England winter, and when it comes she puts on snowshoes when she needs to get down the mile-long dirt path that leads to the road.Given her enjoyment of winter and her fantasy(梦幻)way of life, its not surprising that Tashas Christmas is a storybook holiday. She hang
29、s flowers over the front door. Her tree comes from the woods, and it goes up on Christmas Eve, lit by homemade candles and decorated with her great- grandmothers collection that dates from 1850. In a place of honor on the tree are large cookies cut into the shapes of her animals.The grandchildren an
30、d friends get presents from Tashas old dolls; so do the animals and they have their own Christmas tree. “Of course, its a known fact that all the animals talk on Christmas Eve,” she has written. Small, handmade gifts fill a big wooden box.At the end of each year, Tasha can look back and know that he
31、r life is perfect, that she has again ignored the twentieth century, and that the magic continues. And for the rest of us，heres a bit of advice, Tasha style: “Nowadays, people are so restless. If they took some tea anti spent more time rocking on the porch(门廊) in the evening listening to light music
32、, they might enjoy life more.”56. Tasha loved winter because it allowed her to _. A. read stories to her grandchildren B. show her DIY snowshoes to kidsC. stay indoors working mid readingD. enjoy bicycle tiding along the path57. From the passage, we can learn that Tashas life is _. A. modern and fas
33、hionableB. simple and fantastic C. lonely and hardD. adventurous and inspiring58. Which of the following is TRUE about Tasha? A. She cared little about fame.B. She created an animal fund. C. She wrote many stories for magazines.D. She bought presents for her relatives.59. In which section of a paper
34、 can you probably read the article? A. Travel.B. Sports.C. Economy.D. People.BYou will enjoy a wonderful summer vacation with these easy tips. 1. Fly into Alternate Airports Most major destinations are served by more than one airport. Flying into a less popular one can result in cheaper tickets. Ano
35、ther added perk of quieter airports? Shorter check-in and securitylines, and less waiting around. 2. Use Public Transportation for City Travel to Save Time and Money When possible, take public transportation from the airport to your hotel. For example, the London-Heathrow express train takes just 15
36、 minutes to get from airport to city and costs under 20 pounds. By contrast, “A taxi costs about 70 pounds and takes 40 minutes,” reports DiScala. 3. Eat Smart, Exploreand Save Look for ways to take your order in pricey restaurants and you can avoid “Are we about to run out of money?” “Dont order an
37、 appetizer. Dont drink a lot of booze,” says DiScala. Also, cover more ground by spreading out your snack places. “Have dessert at a caf or ice cream stand, instead of at the dinner restaurant,” suggests DiScala. Youll see more of the city and decisions about where to go for dinner will be less worr
38、ying.4. Hit the MarketMuch like reading the local newspaper, visiting a market gives context to a foreign country. Even the smallest villages tend to have a weekly open-air market(often on Saturday mornings), while in larger towns and cities, expect additional market days, as well as big supermarket
39、s. Markets also sell amazing, wallet-friendly souvenirs. Think about sea salt, local spices or sauces, and regional oils and vinegars. Eatable gifts are almost always appreciated, saving you the stress of finding the “perfect” gift for each person on your list. 60. The passage aims to tell the reade
40、rs how to_. A. take a plane without waiting for long B. spend your holidays abroad economically C. eat in a pricey restaurant at the smallest expense D. save money to buy eatable gifts in a foreign market61.

41、C. Common scene. D. Extra trouble. 62. Which of the following will best help you save time and money?A. Choosing a bigger airport. B. Visiting local markets. C. Having dinner at the hotel. D. Taking an express train. 63. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Having coffee at a cafe will cost more
42、 money. B. Souvenirs bought at local markets are expensive. C. You will run out of your money if you eat out. D. Markets help you understand your tourist destination. CMicro bloggers: dont be too excited if you have more fans than your friends on your Sina Weibo or Tencent micro blogsome of them mig
43、ht be “zombie fans”, or fake(假的) followers. Thats what Chen Chuanliang, creator of Leijian Network, found when he bet against his friend several months ago. Chen, who used to do data mining for Microsoft Asia Research Institute, discovered that there were far more invalid(无效的)micro blog accounts tha
44、n he had imagined. Later Chen picked 10 users on Sina Weibo and analyzed their statistics. Kai-Fu Lee, the former CEO of Google China, whos on Chens list of research, posted a message on his micro blog after he found out that he had more than 1 million fake fans(out of about 5 million), joking “I ha
45、ve 1 million zombie fans? If united, we can finally defeat those plants.”According to a report by S Weekly in March, zombie fans on micro blogs are defined as invalid accounts signed up by network companies for the purpose of increasing the number of fans for certain users and getting them more atte
46、ntion.And this kind of fake followers are also very much alive on Western social networks such as Twitter and Facebook. The Financial Times reported in August，that Newt Gingrich，a Republican candidate in the US presidential election, bought about 80 percent of his 1.3 million Twitter followers and t
47、ried to use them as help in his campaign. Now there are also business deals through which users can get hundreds of thousands of fans for their micro blog accounts, by paying a small amount of money. “We have been working to find ways to block or delete those invalid accounts,” Mao Taotao, a spokesp
48、erson for Sina Weibo told S Weekly. “But as the fake accounts grow so fast, theyre going to be here for a while.” 64. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage? A. Micro Bloggers B. Blog AccountsC. Zombie Fans D. Micro Blog Fans65. Users get zombie fans for their micro blog acco
49、unts by_.A. making friends with peopleB. paying a little moneyC. helping their weibo followersD. doing search on the Internet66. It can be learnt from the passage that_. A. there are more fake fans in America than in ChinaB. invalid accounts for micro blogs will be deleted in no timeC. there exist m
50、any fake fans on western social networks as wellD. Newt Gingrich had 1.3 million followers in his presidential election67. The underlined word “their” in the passage refers to _. A. deals B. fansC. campaigns D. usersDBigger-brained birds survive better than their feathered friends with smaller brain
51、s, according to a study published on Tuesday.Scientists have suspected that birds with large brains in relation to their body size lived longer because they were able to adapt their behavior to environmental challenges.Now they have provided evidence that it does.“We have tested the hypothesis(假设) t
52、hat the brain can buffer(缓冲) animals against the environment and help them to survive when they face environmental challenges,” said Daniel Sol of the Centre for Ecological Research and Forestry Applications in Barcelona, Spain.After comparing death rates, brain size and body mass of 236 species of
53、birds from different regions of the world, Sol and scientists in Britain, Hungary and Canada discovered that the bigger the brain the better. Crows and parrots have the largest brains, while pheasants (野鸡) have a relatively small brain.Earlier studies have shown there is a relationship between the s
54、ize of the brain and an animals capacity to create new behavior and adapt more easily.“The idea is that if you have a big brain, you are more capable of adjusting behavior and responding to environmental changes. This can help you to survive,” said Sol, who reported the finding in the journal Procee
55、dings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences.Tamas Szekely of the University of Bath in England and a co-author of the report, said birds were ideal to test the hypothesis because they are the only species in which brain size and behavioral response to environmental challenges such as climate a
56、nd habitat destruction is understood.68. The finding of birds brains recently refers to _. A. the smaller brain the birds have, the longer they live B. the smaller brain the birds have, the cleverer they are C. the bigger brain the birds have, the larger their bodies are D. the bigger brain the bird
57、s have, the abler they are to deal with environment69. Scientists from _ countries have made the discovery. A. two B. three C. fourD. five70. According to the text we can know that the report of the finding was written by _. A. Daniel Sol B. Tamas Szekely C. Daniel Sol and Tamas Szekely D. someone w
58、hose name was not mentioned71. Which of the following statements is true? A. Pheasants have the smallest brains of all birds. B. Crows and parrots have the largest brains in all animals. C. A pigs brain is bigger than a cock, so it must be cleverer than the cock. D. The discovery is now only certain
59、 about and mainly limited to birds.ETheres a guy like me in every state and federal prison in America, I guess Im the guy who can get these for you: cigarettes, a bag of cigar, if you want that, a bottle of wine to celebrate your son or daughters high school graduation, or almost anything else. . .
60、within reason, that is. It wasnt always that way.I came to Shawshank when I was just twenty, and I am one of the few people in the prison who is willing to admit what he did. I committed murder(谋杀). I put a large insurance policy(保险单) on my wife, who was three years older than I was, and then I fixe
61、d the brakes of the car her father had given us as a wedding present. It worked out exactly as I had planned, except I hadnt planned on her stopping to pick up the neighbor woman and the womans son on the way down Castle Hill and into town. The brakes let go and the car crashed through the bushes, g
62、athering speed. Bystanders said it must have been doing fifty or better when it hit the base of the Civil War statue in the town arid burst into flames. I also hadnt planned on getting caught, but I was caught. I got a pass into this place. My state has no death penalty(死刑), but I was tried(审判) for
63、all three deaths and given three life sentences, to run one after the other. That fixed up any chance of parole(假释) I might have, for a long, long time. The judge called what I had done an extremely evil(邪恶的) crime, and it was, but it is also in the past now. Have I transformed myself, you ask? I do
64、nt know what that word means, at least as far as prisons and corrections go. I think its a politicians word. It may have some other meaning, and it may be that I will have a chance to find out, but that is the future. . . I was young, good-looking, and from the poor side of town. I met a pretty, hea
65、dstrong girl who lived in one of the fine old houses on Carbine Street. She got pregnant(怀孕的) later. Her father was agreeable to the marriage if I would take a job in the company he owned and work my way up. I found out that what he really had in mind was keeping me in his house and under his thumb,
66、 like a disagreeable pet that has not quite been housebroken and which may bite. Enough hate eventually piled up to cause me to do what I did. Given a second chance I would not do it again, but Im not sure whether that means I am transformed. 72. What do we know about the man from the passage?A. He

80、 It means respecting and caring for parents and the elderly. Take my parents for example. After my grandma died last year, my parents spent much time chatting with my grandpa, accompanying him on walks and cooking him delicious food. At first, my grandpa seemed to be happy about it, but as time went
81、 by, he became uneasy, because he was not used to leading so comfortable a life. Therefore, my parents encouraged him to attend some activities in our community. They also encouraged him to go to a drawing class in a school for the old, which gave my grandpa a great sense of achievement. He became happy again.My parents set a good example to me. In my opinion, the real filial piety is giving the old what they really need.
