26、y and was the only one in his family who settled down in the United States. The rest of his family remained in Europe. When World War I broke out, he seemed to have become another man, downherated. Such obvious change was not born out of his welfare, but out of fear: if his only son, my uncle, had t
27、o go to war, it would be cousin fighting against cousin. One day in 1918, my Uncle Milton received his draft notice. My grandparents were very upset. But my mother, at the age of 10, felt on top of the world about her soldier brother going off to war. Realizing how he was regarded by his little sist
28、er and all of her friends, my uncle bought them all service pins, which meant that they had a loved one in the service. All the little girls were delighted. The moment came when my uncle and the other soldiers, without any training but all in uniforms, boarded the train. The band played and the crow
29、d cheered. Although no one noticed, Im sure my grandmother had a tear in her eye for the only son. The train slowly pulled out, but not about a thousand yards when it suddenly paused. Everyone stared in wonder as the train slowly returned to the station. There was a dead silence before the doors ope
30、ned and the men started to step out. Someone shouted,”The war is over. ”For a moment, nobody moved, but then the people heard someone bark orders at the soldiers. The men lined up in two lines, walked down the steps, and with the band playing, marched down the street, as returning heroes, to be welc
31、omed home. My mother said it was great day, but she was just a little disappointed that it didnt last a tiny bit longer. 51. What the grandfather was most worried about was . A. the spread of the world warB. the safety of his living two cousinsC. a drop in his living standardsD. his relatives killin

33、e following words can best describe the ending of the story?A. Disappointing. B. Unexpected. C. Uncertain. D. Inspiring. BThree years ago, five parrots were set free in a wild place of Arizona, thousands of miles from the Channel Islands in Jersey sher they had been looked after by zookeepers. No ev
34、olutionary strategies informed them how to behave in this new Landscape of mountainous pine forest unoccupied by their king for 50 years. To the researchers surprise, they failed to make contact with a group of wild parrots imported from Mexico and set free at the same time. Within 24 hours the rein
35、troducing ended in failure, and the poor birds were back in cages, on their way to the safety of the Arizona reintroduction programme. Ever since then, the programme has enjoyed great success, mainly because the birds now being set free are Mexican birds illegally caught in the wild, confiscated （没收
36、） on arrival north of the border, and raised by their parents in the safety of the programme. The experience shows how little we know about the behaviour and psychology（心理） of parrots, as Peter Bennett, a bird researcher, points out:” Reintroducing species of high intelligence like parrots is a lot
37、more difficult. People like parrots, always treating them as nothing more than pers or valuable collectables. ”Now that many species of parrot are in immediate danger of dying out, biologists are working together to study the natural history and the behaviour of this family of birds. Last year was a
38、n important turning point: conservationists founded the World Parrot Trust, based at Hayle in Cornwall, to support research into both wild and caged birds. Research on parrots is vital for two reasons. Forest, as the Arizona programme showed, when reintroducing parrots to the wild, we need to be awa
39、re of what the birds must know if they are to survive in their natural home. We also need to learn more about the needs oft parrots keot as pets, particularly as the Trusts campaign does not attempt to discourage the practice, but rather urges people who buy parrots as pets to choose birds raised by
40、 humans. 55. What do we know about the area where the five parrots were reintroduced?A. Its landscape is new to parrots of their king. B. It used to be home to parrots of their kind. C. It is close to where they had been kept. D. Pine trees were planted to attract birds. 56. The reintroducing experi
41、ence three years ago shows that man-raised parrots _. A. can find their way back home in JerseyB. are unable to recognize their parentsC. are unable to adapt to the wildD. can produce a new species57. Why are researches on parrots important according to the passage?A. The Trust shows great concern f
42、or the programme. B. We need to knows more about how to preserve parrotsC. Many people are interested in collecting parrots. D. Parrots intelligence may some day benefit people. 58. According to the passage, people are advised_. A. to treat wild and caged parrots equallyB to set up comfortable homes
43、 for parrotsC. not to keep wild parrots as petsD. not to let more parrots go to the wildCWhen I was seven my father gave me a Timex, my first watch. I loved it, wore it for years, and havent had another one since it stopped ticking a decade ago. Why? Because I dont need one. I have a mobile phone an
44、d Im always near someone with an iPod or something like that. All these devices（装置）tell the timewhich is why, if you look around, youll see lots of empty wrists; sales of watches to young adults have been going down since 2007. But while the wise have realized that they dont need them, othersapparen
45、tly including some distinguished men of our timeare spending total fortunes on them. Brands such as Rolex, Patek Philippe and Breitling command shocking prices, up to 250.000 for a piece. This is ridiculous. Expensive cars go faster than cheap cars. Expensive clothes hang better than cheap clothes.
46、But these days all watches tell the time as well as all other watches. Expensive watches come with extra functionsbut who needs them? How often do you dive to 300 metres into the sea or need to find your direction in the area around the South Pole? So why pay that much of five years school fees for
47、watches that allow you to do these things?If justice were done, the Swiss watch industry should have closed down when the Japanese discovered how to make accurate watches for a five-pound note. Instead the Swiss reinvented the watch, with the aid of millions of pounds worth of advertising, as a mess
48、age about the man wearing it. Rolexes are for those who spend their weekends climbing icy mountains; a Patek Philippe is for one from a rich or noble family; a Breitling suggests you like to pilot planes across the world. Watches are now classified as “investments”（投资）. A 1994 Philippe recently sold
49、 for nearly? 350, 000, while 1960s Rolexes have gone from? 15, 000 to? 30, 000 plus in a year. But a watch is not an investment. Its a toy for self-satisfaction, a matter of fashion. Prices may keep going up-theyve been rising for 15 years. But when of fashion. Prices may keep going uptheyve been ri
50、sing for 15 years. But when fashion moves on, the owner of that? 350, 000 beauty will suddenly find his pride and joy is no more a good investment than my childhood Times. 59 The sales of watches to young people have fallen because they_. A. have other devices to tell the timeB. think watches too ex
51、pensiveC. prefer to wear an iPodD. hame no sense of time60. It seems ridiculous to the writer that_. A. people dive 300 metres into the seaB. expensive clothes sell better than cheap onesC. cheap cars dont run as fast as expensive onesD. expensive watches with unnecessary functions still sell61. Wha
52、t can be learnt about Swiss watch industry from the passage?A. It targets rich people as its potential customers. B. Its hard for the industry to beat its competitors. C. It wastes a huge amount of money in advertising. D. Its easy for the industry to reinvent cheap watches. 62. Which would be the b
53、est title for the passage?A. Timex or Rolex?B. My Childhood TimexC. Watches? Mot for Me!D. Watchesa Valuable CollectionDA few years ago, Paul Gerner began to gather a group of architects in Las vegas to ask them what it would take to design a public school that used 50 percent less energy, cost much
54、 less to build and obviously improved student learning . ”I think half of then fell off their chairs,” Gerner says. Gerner manages school facilities （设施）for Clark county, Nevada, a district roughly the size of Massachusetts. By 2018, 143, 000 additional students will enter the already crowded public
55、-education system. Gerner needs 73 new schools to house them. Four architecture teams have nearly finished designing primary school prototypes （样品） ; They plan to construct their schools starting in 2009. The district will then assess how well the schools perform, and three winners will copy those d
56、esigns in 50 to 70 new buildings. Green schools are appearing all over , but in Clark County, which stands out for its vastness, such aggressive targets are difficult because deign requirements like more natural light for students go against the realities of a desert climate. ”One of the biggest cha
57、llenges is getting the right site orientation（朝向）, ” Mark McGinty, a director at SH Architecture, says. His firm recently completed a high school in Las Vegas. “You have the same building, same set of windows, but if its orientation is incorrect and it faces the sun, it will be really expensive to c
58、ool.”Surprisingly, the man responsible for one of re most progressive green-design competitions has doubts about ideas of eco-friendly buildings. ”I dont believe in the new green religion,” Gerner says. ”Gerner says.”Some of the building technologies that you get are impractical. Im interested in th
59、ose that work. ”But he wouldnt mind if some green features inspire students. He says he hopes to set up green energy systems that allow them to learn about the process of harvesting wind and solar power. ”You never know whats going to start the interest of a child to study math and science,”he says.
60、 63How did the architects react to Garners design requirements?A. They lost balance in excitement. B. they showed strong disbelief. C. they expressed little interest. D. they burst into cheers. 64Which order of steps is followed in carrying out the project?A. AssessmentPrototypeDesignConstruction. B
61、. AssessmentDesignPrototypeConstruction. C. DesignAssessmentPrototypeConstruction. D. DesignPrototypeAssessmentConstruction. 65What makes it difficult to build green schools in Clark County?A. The large size. B. Limited facilities. C. The desert climate. D. Poor natural resources. 66What dose Gerner
62、 think of the ideas of green schools?A. They are questionable. B. They are out of date. C. They are advanced. D. They are practical. ESunday is more like Monday than it used to be, Places of business that used to keep daytime “business hours” are now open late into the night. And on the Internet, th
63、e hour of the day and the day of the week have become irrelevant （不相关的）. A half century ago in the United states, most people experienced strong and precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work, school time and summer time, Today the boundaries still exist, but they seem not clear. T
64、he law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday; in most, it no longer does , It used to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer, in most, it still does. And whether the work week should strengthen its legal limits, or whether it should become more “flexible” is ofte
65、n debated, How should we , as a society, organize our time? Should we go even further in relaxing the boundaries of time until we live in a world in which every minute is much like every other?These are not easy questions even to ask. Part of the difficulty is that we rarely recognize the “law of ti
66、me” even when we meet it face to face. We know as children that we have to attend school a certain number of hours, a certain number of days, a certain number of yearsbut unless we meet the truant officer （学监） , we may well think that we should go to school due to social custom and parents demand ra
67、ther than to the law. As adults we are familiar with “extra pay for overtime working.”but less familiar with the fact that what constitutes（构成） “overtime” is a matter of legal definition. , When we turn the clock forward to start daylightsaving time, have we ever thought to ourselves; “Here is the l
68、aw in action”? As we shall see, there is a lot of law that has great influence on how organize and use time: compulsory education law, overtime law, and daylight-saving lawas well as law about Sunday closing, holidays, being late to work , time zones, and so on. Once we begin to look for it, we will
69、 have no trouble finding a law of time to examine and assess. 67. By saying” Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be,” the writer means that _. A. work time is equal to rest timeB. many people have a day off on Monday, C. it is hard for people to decide when to restD. the line between work tim
70、e and rest time is unclear68. The author raises the questions in Paragraph 2 to introduce the fact that people_. A. fail to make full use of their timeB. enjoy working overtime for extra payC. are unaware of the law of timeD. welcome flexible working hours69. According to the passage, most children
71、tend to believe that they go to school because they_. A. need to acquire knowledgeB. have to obey their parentsC. need to find companionsD. have to observe the law70. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Our life is governed by the law of timeB. How to organize time is not worth debating. C. New
