He shared the story with me.At the memorial service, his friends wife walked to the platform to speak to the gathering. She said a friend had asked her the best memory she had of their life together. At the momen
12、t, she had been too sad to answer, but she had thought about it since and wanted to answer the question.They were in their late forties when he died, and she began talking about a time in their life almost twenty years earlier. She had quit her job to obtain her masters degree, and her husband never
13、 hesitated in his support.He held down his own job and also did the cooking, cleaning, and other housework while she studied for her degree.One time they both stayed up all night. She was finishing her paper, and he was preparing for an important business meeting. That morning, she walked out of her
14、 study, leaned against the door by the stairs, looked at her husband downstairs and just thought about how much she loved him. She knew how important this meeting was to his future, and she was feeling guilty that she didnt even have time to make his breakfast. He took his briefcase and hurried out.
15、 She heard the garage door open and close, but much to her surprise, she heard it open again about thirty seconds later. From above, she watched her husband dash into the house and walk over to the forgotten coffee table. Marking the surface of it with his finger through the dust with the words I lo

19、e was B. how her husband loved herC. how they improved their life D. how hard her husband worked C“Have a nice day！” may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression. When my friend Maxie says “Have a nice day” with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. I feel loved and
20、safe since another person cares about me and wishes me well.“Have a nice day. Next！” This version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door. The words come out in the same tone (腔调) with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not
21、 to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone elses is the managements attempt to increase business.The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. So
22、metimes the expression saves us when we dont know what to say. “Oh, you just had a tooth out? Im terribly sorry, but have a nice day. ”The expression can be pleasant. If a stranger says “Have a nice day” to you, you may find it heartwarming because someone you dont know has tried to be nice to you.A
23、lthough the use of the expression is an insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The salesgirl, the waitress, the teacher, and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my
24、day. But in a strange and comfortable way, its nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really dont care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.28. How does the author understa
25、nd Maxies words?AMaxie shows her anxiety to the author.BMaxie really wishes the author a good day.CMaxie encourages the author to stay happy.DMaxie really worries about the authors safety.29. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?AThe salesgirl is rude to the customers.BThe salesgirl
26、 is bored with her work.CThe salesgirl cares about me.DThe salesgirl says the words as usual.30 . According to the last paragraph, people say “ Have a nice day” _.Aas a habitBas thanks CsincerelyDEncouragingly31. By saying “Have a nice day，” a stranger may _.A. try to be polite to youB. express resp
27、ect to youC. give his blessings to youD. share his pleasure with youDWe all know what a brain is. A doctor will tell you that the brain is the organ of the body in the head. It controls our bodys functions, movements, emotions and thoughts. But a brain can mean so much more.A brain can also simply b
28、e a smart person. If a person is called brainy, he is smart and intelligent. If a family has many children but one of them is super smart, you could say, “Hes the brains in the family.” And if you are the brains behind something, you are responsible for developing or organizing something. For exampl
29、e, Bill Gates is the brains behind Microsoft.Brain trust is a group of experts who give advice. Word experts say the phrase “brain trust” became popular when Franklin D. Roosevelt first ran for president in 1932. Several professors gave him advice on social and political issues（问题）facing the U.S. Th
30、ese professors were called his “brain trust”.These ways we use the word “brain” all make sense. But other ways we use the word are not so easy to understand. For example, to understand the next brain expression, you first need to know the word “drain”. As a verb, to drain means to remove something b
31、y letting it flew away. So a brain drain may sound like a disease where the brain flows out the ears. But, brain drain is when a countrys most educated people leave their countries to live in another. The brains are, sort of, draining out of the country.However, if people are responsible for a great
32、 idea, you could say they brainstormed it. Here, brainstorm is not an act of weather. It is a process of thinking creatively about a complex topic. For example, business leaders may use brainstorming to create new products, and government leaders may brainstorm to solve problems.If people are brainw
33、ashed, it does not mean their brains are nice and clean. To brainwash means to make some accept new beliefs by using repeated pressure in a forceful or tricky way. Keep in mind that brainwash is never used in a positive way.32. According to the text, if youre the CEO of Bai Du you can be called .A.
34、the organ of Bai Du B. the brain drain of Bai DuC. the brains behind Bai Du D. Bai Dus brain trust33. Roosevelt successfully won the election probably because .A. he got his brain trust B. he got the help of word expertsC. he was smart at giving advice D. he was the brains behind America34. From the
35、 passage, we can infer that .A. to drain a lake means to fill it with a lot of waterB. brainy and brainwash are never used in a negative wayC. brainstorming is not a good choice for a political leader for lack of creativityD. a country suffers a “brain drain” when educated people move to other count
36、ries35. The author explains the “brain” expressions by .A. making comments B. making comparisonsC. using examples D. analyzing origins第二节：任务型阅读。 根据短文内容， 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多于选项，请把答案写在答题卡上。Eyesight plays a very important role in our daily life.
