I learned that lesson when I decided to treat Doug, my husband of one month, to a special meal. I glanced through my cook book and chose a menu wh
27、ich included homemade bread. Knowing the bread would take time. I started on it as soon as Doug left for work. As I was not experienced in cooking, I thought if a dozen was good, two dozen would be better, so I doubled everything. As Doug loved oranges, I also opened a can of orange and poured it al
28、l into the bowl. Soon there was a sticky dough covered with ugly yellowish marks. Realizing I had been defeated, I put the dough in the rubbish bin outside so I wouldnt have to face Doug laughing at my work. I went on preparing the rest of the meal, and, when Doug got home, we sat down to Cornish ch
29、icken with rice. He tried to enjoy the meal but seemed disturbed. Twice he got up and went outside, saying he thought he heard a noise. The third time he left, I went to the windows to see what he was doing. Looking out, I saw Doug standing about three feet from the rubbish bin, holding the lid up w
30、ith a stick and looking into the container. When I came out of the house, he dropped the stick and explained that there was something alive in our rubbish bin. Picking up the stick again, he held the lid up enough for me to see. I felt cold. But I stepped closer and looked harder. Without doubt it w
31、as my work. The hot sun had caused the dough to double in size and the fermenting yeast(酵母) made the surface shake and sigh as though it were breathing. I had to admit what the living thing was and why it was there. I dont know who was more embarrassed by the whole thingDoug or me.56、The writers pur
32、pose in writing this story is _.A. to tell an interesting experience B. to show the easiest way out of a difficultyC. to describe the trouble facing a newly married womanD. to explain the difficulty of learning to cook from books57、Why did the womans attempt at making the bread turn out to be unsucc
33、essful?A. The canned orange had gone bad. B. She didnt use the right kind of flour.C. The cookbook was hard to understand. D. She did not follow the directions closely.58、Why did the woman put the dough in the rubbish bin?A. She didnt see the use of keeping it. B. She meant to joke with her husband.
34、 C. She didnt want her husband to see it. D. She hoped it would soon dry in the sun.59、What made the dough in the bin looks frightening?A. The rising and falling movement.B. The strange-looking marks.C. Its shape. D. Its size.60、When Doug went out the third time, the woman looked out of the window b
35、ecause she was _.A. surprised at his being interested in the bin B. afraid that he would discover her secretC. unhappy that he didnt enjoy the meal D. curious to know what disturbed himBMy fathers reaction to the bank building at 43rd Street and Fifth Avenue in New York city was immediate and defini
36、te: You wont catch me putting my money in there! he declared, Not in that glass box !Of course, my father is a gentleman of the old school, a member of the generation to whom a good deal of modern architecture is upsetting, but I am convinced that his negative response was not so much to the archite
37、cture as to a violation of his concept of the nature of money .In his generation money was thought of as a real commodity (实物)that could be carried, or stolen. Consequently, to attract the custom of a sensible man, a bank had to have heavy walls, barred windows, and bronze（青铜）doors, to affirm the fa
38、ct, however untrue, that money would be safe inside. If a buildings design made it appear impenetrable（难以渗透的）, the institution（公共机构, 协会, 制度）was necessarily reliable, and the meaning of the heavy wall as an architecture symbol dwelt in the prevailing attitude toward money.But the attitude toward mone
39、y has, of course, changed. Excepting pocket money, cash of any kind is now rarely used; money as a tangible（切实，实在）commodity has largely been replaced by credit. A deficit (赤字) economy, accompanied by huge expansion, has led us to think of money as product of the creative imagination. The banker no l
40、onger offers us a safe: he offers us a service in which the most valuable element is the creativity for the invention of large numbers. It is in no way surprising, in view of this change in attitude, that we are witnessing the disappearance of the heavy-walled bank.Just as the older bank emphasized
41、its strength, this bank by its architecture boasts of imaginative powers. From this point of view it is hard to say where architecture ends and human assertion (人们的说法)begins.61、The main idea of this passage is that _.Amoney is not as valuable as it was in the pastBthe architectural style of the olde
42、r bank is superior to that of the modern bankCchanges have taken place in both the appearance and the concept of banksDprejudice makes the older generation think that the modern bank is unreliable62、How do the older generation and the younger one think about money?AThe former thinks more of money th
43、an the latter.BThe younger generation values money more than the older generation.CBoth generations rely on the imaginative power of bankers to make money.DTo the former money is a real commodity but to the latter it is a means to produce more money.63、According to this passage, a modern banker shou
44、ld be _.Aimaginative and creative Breliable and powerfulCsensible and impenetrable Dambitious and friendly64、It can be inferred from the passage that the authors attitude towards the new trend in banking is _. Acautious Bregretful Cpositive Dhostile(敌意的)65、Cash is rarely used nowadays because _.A. i
45、t is no longer needed B. it is no longer usefulC. it is often replaced by credit cards D.credit cards took place.CAgainst the supposition（假设）that forest fires in Alaska, Canada and Siberia warm the climate, scientists have discovered that cooling may occur in areas where burnt trees allow more snow
46、to mirror more sunlight into space.This finding suggests that taking steps to prevent northern forest to limit the release of greenhouse gases may warm the climate in northern regions. Usually large fires destroyed forests in these areas over the past decade. Scientists predict that with climate war
47、ming, fires may occur more frequently over next several centuries as a result of a longer fire season. Sunlight taken in by the earth tends to cause warming, while heat mirrored back into space tends to cause cooling.This is the first study to analyze all aspects of how northern fires influence clim
48、ate. Earlier studies by other scientists have suggested that fire in northern regions speed up climate warming because greenhouse gases from burning trees and plants are released into the atmosphere and thus trap heat.Scientists found that right after the fire, large amounts of greenhouse gases ente
49、red the atmosphere and caused warming. Ozone（臭氧）levels increased, and ash from the fire fell on far-off sea ice, darkening the surface and causing more radiation from the sun to be taken in. The following spring, however, the land within the area of the fire was brighter than before the fire, becaus
50、e fewer trees covered the ground. Snow on the ground mirrored more sunlight back into space, leading to cooling.“We need to find out all possible ways to reduce the growth of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.” Scientists tracked the change in amount of radiation entering and leaving the climate sy
51、stem as a result of the fire, and found a measurement closely related to the global air temperature. Typically, fire in northern regions occurs in the same area every 80 to 150 years. Scientists, however, found that when fire occurs more frequently, more radiation is lost from the earth and cooling
52、results. Specifically, they determined when fire returns 20 years earlier than predicated, 0.5 watts per square meter of area burned are soaked up by the earth from greenhouse gases, but 0.9 watts per square meter will be sent back into space. The net effect is cooling. Watts are used to measure the
53、 rate at which energy is gained or lost from the earth.66、According to the new findings, taking steps to prevent northern forest fires may _.A. result in a warming climateB. cause the forest fires to occur more frequentlyC. lead to a longer fire seasonD. protect the forests and the environment there
54、67、The following are all the immediate effects after a forest fire EXCEPT _.A. large amounts of greenhouse gases enter the atmosphereB. the levels of ozone which is a type of oxygen increaseC. snow on the ground mirrors more sunlight back into spaceD. ashes from the fire fall on the ice surface and
55、take in more radiation from the sun68、Earlier studies about northern forest fires _.A. analyze all aspects of how northern fires influence climateB. indicate that forest fires will pollute the atmosphereC. suggest that people should take measures to protect environmentD. suggest that the fires will
56、speed up climate warming.69、The underlined part “soaked up” in the last paragraph most probably means _.A. releasedB. absorbedC. createdD. distributed70、From the passage we can draw a conclusion that forest fires in Alaska, Canada and Siberia may _.A. warm the climate as the supposition goesB. allow
57、 more snow to reflect more sunlight into space and thus cool the climateC. destroy large areas of forests and pollute the far-off sea ice D. help to gain more energy rather than release more energyDThe booking notes of the play “the Age of Innocence”:Price: 10BOOKINGThere are four easy ways to book
