80、even today I can remember the excellent service by the Lufthansa crew.The flight was really smooth and thoroughly enjoyable，even for someone like me，who is otherwise scared of flying.After spending almost two weeks in Europe，we took the Lufthansa airport express from Dusseldorf to Frankfurt airport，
81、for our return flight.What a journey that was!

86、band in pop history. In their 8year, 12album history, Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr altered (改变) popular culture dramatically. And it wasnt just the suits and changing lengths of hair the four Liverpool boys wore that had such an impact, but what they seemed to stand f
87、or. The world saw them as the voice of a new generation, one with a very different attitude to life. Their influence was at its height in the 1960s, but their music continues to stir listeners today. However, up until recently one aspect of the Beatles was struck in Yesterday: The music had never be
88、en remastered (重新灌录). But on September 9 that situation came to an end, with the release of the entire bands music in a digital makeover. It is probably the biggest reissue (重新发行) in pop music history, said British newspaper the Financial Times. The albums were remastered at Abbey Road Studios in Lo
89、ndon, the location where the band produced much of their work. The cover of their last album, Abbey Road of 1969, featured the four young men striding (大步行走) across a zebra crossing on Abbey Road itself. It is one of the most famous of all Beatles images. Recently, to celebrate the 40th anniversary
90、of the album, hundreds of Beatles lovers gathered there to show their appreciation. Pop groups come and go. The boy band pursued by screaming fans one year will be forgotten the next. But the Beatles are one of the few groups whose music seems to have endured (持久). Why? Paul McCartneys biographer Ba

95、ople?C I had the meanest mother in the world. While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have cereal (谷类食物), eggs or toast. While others had Cokes and candy for lunch, I had to eat a sandwich. As you can guess, my supper was different from other kids too. But_at_least_I_wasnt_alone_in_my_suf
96、ferings. My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did. My mother insisted upon knowing where we were at all times. She had to know who our friends were and where we were going. She insisted if we said wed be gone an hour, then we be gone one hour or lessnot one hour and one minute. A
97、nd she always insisted upon us telling the truth. Now you can see how mean she was. The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by nine each night and up at eight the next morning. We had to wash dishes, make beds, and learn to cook. We had to wear clean clothes and take a bath, while the other ki
98、ds always wore their clothes for days. I believe she laid awake at night thinking up mean things to do to us. Through the years, things didnt improve a bit. We could not lie in bed, “sick” like our friends did, and miss school. Our marks in school had to be up to par(达到正常水平). Our friends report card
99、s had beautiful colors on them, black for passing, red for failing. My mother, being as different as she was, would settle for nothing less than ugly black marks.

Other magic words have no meaning, though they supposedly possess power when spoken by a magician.Magic actions accompany the words spoken in performing much magic. Many of these movements act out the desired effect of the magic

The magicians combined words and actions form a ceremony.Magic objects include certain plants, stones, and other things with supposed supernatural powers. Any such object may be called a fetish(物神). But this term

In the US, where ever
205、yone drives, the main step to the freedom of adult life is learning to drive. At 16, American teens take their driving test. When they have their license, they drive into the grownup world.“Nobody wants to ride the cheese bus to school，” said Eleanor Fulham, 17. She brought the pressure back to memo
206、ry, especially for kids from wealthier families. “Its like youre not cool if you dont have a car，” she said.According to recent research, 41% of 16 to 19yearolds in the US own cars, up from 23% in 1985. Although, most of these cars are bought by parents, some teens get parttime jobs to help pay.Not
207、all families can afford cars for their children. In cities with subways and limited parking, some teenagers dont want them. But in rich suburban areas without subways, and where bicycles are more for fun than transportation, it is strange for a teenager not to have a car.But police say 16yearolds ha

This has made many parents pause before letting their kids drive.Julie Sussman, of Virginia, decided that her son Chad, 15, will wait until he is 17 to apply for his learners permit.Chad said he has accepted his parents decision, although i

While
214、any of these statements might be true, they are practically impossible to prove scientifically. Still, I was struck by a report which concluded that todays children are significantly more anxious than children in the 1950s. In fact, the analysis showed, normal children aged 9 to 17 exhibit a higher
215、level of anxiety today than children who were treated for mental illness 50 years ago.Why are Americas kids so stressed? The report cites two main causes: increasing physical isolation(隔离) brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community, among other things and a growing perception

256、the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served them cocoa and bread to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started cooking.The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in
257、 a flat voice, “Lady, are you rich？”“Am I rich? Pity, no！”I looked at my wornout slipcovers(椅套). The girl put her cup back in its saucer(茶碟)carefully and said, “Your cups match your saucers.” They left after that, holding their papers against the wind. They had reminded me that I had so much for whi

266、nt yourself well. If money is tight, read books on resume writing from your public library or search for free help on the Internet. When you apply for a job, be sure you match and list any skills listed on the posting with the skills you have. If you get an interview, be sure to describe those skill

Many adults believe that somehow boys need friends less than girls do, in truth, though, no boy is an island; boys value their friends throughout childhood and adolescence and are happier an
274、d healthier when they have solid relationships with peers(同龄人)Despite the common belief that girls are better at relationships, most boys consider their friends a very important part of their lives, and boys may actually be better at keeping friendships than girls are. A recent study of 10 to 15year
275、old boys and girls found that girls friendships are actually more fragile. Girls tend to say and do hurtful things to each other more frequently than boys, and girls are more hurt by the end of a friendship.Boys are the living definition of the phrase “peer group”； they love games with rules, compet
276、ition, and doing things together. Boys seem to enjoy, even need the opportunity to test themselves against others, and many lasting friendships begin in karate(空手道) class or on the basketball court.

277、experience that can haunt(萦绕心头) a boy for years.As boys mature, the friendship becomes even more important, and it frequently widens to include girls. During the teen years, friends can become the most important part of a boys lifeand a part in which his parents are not included. The confusion of be
278、ing a teenager leads boys to form close bonds with friends. There is the sense for many boys that a friend is someone who is “always there for me”， someone he can trust.

In addition to the standard varieties of English found in these areas, there are a great many regional and social varieties of the language as well as various levels of usage that are employed both in its
284、 spoken and written forms.In fact, it is impossible to estimate the number of people in the world who have acquired an adequate(足够的) working knowledge of English in addition to their own languages. The purpose for English learning and the situations in which such learning takes place are so varied t
285、hat it is difficult to explain and still more difficult to judge what forms an adequate working knowledge for each situation.The main reason for the widespread demand for English is its presentday importance as a world language. Besides serving the indefinite needs of its native speakers, English is
286、 a language in which some of important works in science, technology, and other fields are being produced, and not always by native speakers. It is widely used for such purposes as meteorological and airport communications, international conferences, and the spread of information over the radio and t
287、elevision networks of many nations. It is a language of wider communication for a number of developing countries, especially former British colonies. Many of these countries have multilingual populations and need a language for internal communication in such matters as government, commerce, industry

315、ature taken from 3,000 feet awaystraight up. A decade ago, adopting the infrared(红外线)scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites, physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress. The goal was to l
316、et farmers precisely target pesticide(杀虫剂)spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field, which invariably includes plants that dont have pest problems.Even better, Paleys Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye. Mounted on a plane flown a
317、t 3,000 feet at night, an infrared scanner measured the heat emitted by crops. The data were transformed into a colourcoded map showing where plants were running “fevers”. Farmers could then spotspray, using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would.The bad news is that Paleys compan
318、y closed down in 1984, after only three years. Farmers resisted the new technology and longterm backers were hard to find. But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce, and refinements in infrared scanning, Paley hopes to get back into operation. Agriculture experts have no doubt the tec
319、hnology works. “This technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States, ” says George Oerther of Texas A & M. Ray Jackson, who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture, thinks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade. But only if

But these fearful fighting machines are about to enter Asia.The US Navy said last month that one of its nine nuclearpowered aircraft carriers will be sent to Ja

In an agreement on October 30, the two countries also planned to level up their military (军事的) cooperation and the USA called for Japan to take a larger role in alliance military moves.It will be the first time that a nuclearpowered ca
326、rrier is based in Japan. Bombed by US forces in World War at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan is the only world country to have been attacked by a nuclear weapon. Therefore, the citizens are highly sensitive to where nuclearpowered weapons are based.“A radiation leak at Yokosuka would kill 100,000 peop

His group has collected more than 300,000 signatures of people across Japan opposed to the nuclear carrier.The 44yearold Kitty Hawk, the US Navys oldest active ship, ha
328、s been based in Yokosuka since 1998. It had returned to the US to be decommissioned in 2008. The new carrier, yet to be unveiled,_will travel faster, be capable of supporting longer operations and carry with it the Navys most modern technology.Experts pointed that this change is not only to strength

However, even Japanese experts dont believe that the two countries are threats to the region.“There is no need for Japan to have a nuclear carrier as defense，” said Tetsuo Maeda, an internati
330、onal relations professor at Tokyo International University. He said that the change of ship indicates an increased military capability in the region, much more than what is needed.41With such a formidable weapon to enter its country, Japanese citizens _.Aare aware of its benefits to the countryBare

In order to reduce air pollution and oilshortages, automobile manufacturers have announced their plans to develop hybrid veh
335、icles (混合燃料汽车) for the Chinese market. Toyotas hybrid car Prius will be ready to drive in China this week. Lets have a look at the new car.Any vehicle is a hybrid when it combines two or more sources of power. Hybrid cars run off a rechargeable battery and gasoline. Hybrid cars have special engines,
336、 which are smaller than traditional gasoline engines. They run at 99 percent of their power when the car is cruising (匀速行驶). A specially designed battery motor provides extra power for running up hills or when extra acceleration is needed.Step into a Prius, and turn on the engine. The first thing yo
337、u notice is how much quieter it is than a traditional car. At this point, the cars gasoline engine is dormant (休眠). The electric motor will provide power until the car reaches about 24 km/h. If you stay at a low speed, you are effectively driving an electric car, with no gasoline being used, and no
338、waste gas gives off.The onboard(车载的) computer makes the decision about when to use a gas engine, when to go electric, and when to use a combination of the two. If you go over 24 km/h, when you step on the gas pedal (油门), you are actually telling the computer how fast you want to go.The electronic mo
339、tor recharges automatically using a set of batteries. When driving at high speed, the gasoline engine not only powers the car, but also charges the batteries. Any time you use the brake, the electric motor in the wheels will work like a generator and produce electricity to recharge the batteries. As
340、 a consequence, the cars batteries will last for around 200,000 miles.46The author writes this passage mainly to_.Ateach people how to drive a hybrid car Bintroduce a new kind of “green” car Cshow how to save their gasoline when driving a car Dannounce plans to develop hybrid vehicles for China47The
341、 first sentence probably refers to _.Athere will be more and more green land in ChinaBChina is still young and lacking experience CChinas new cars are combinations of different green modelsDChina has started producing environmentally friendly cars48Which of the followings is NOT true?AThe hybrid car
342、s reduce air pollution and oilshortages.BThe cars gasoline engine doesnt work until it reaches about 24 km/h.CThis kind of car is completely controlled by an onboard computer.DA specially designed battery motor provides extra power when needed.49What is the most important feature of hybrid cars?AThe
343、y are powered by both a rechargeable battery and gasoline.BThey are much quieter than traditional cars.CThey only use 99 percent of their power to run up hills.DThey have smaller engines than traditional gasoline ones.50What can we conclude from the story?AThe batteries can be recharged at any time
344、you want.BUsing the brake suggests that the gasoline engine should work.CThe batteries will last for 200, 000 miles without being recharged.DThe gasoline engine charges the batteries as well as powers the car.DAs civilization proceeds in the direction of technology, it passes the point of supplying
345、all the basic essentials of lifefood, shelter, clothes and warmth. Then we are faced with a choice between using technology to provide and fulfill needs which have now been regarded as unnecessary or, on the other hand, using technology to reduce the number of hours of work which a man must do in or
346、der to earn a given standard of living. In other words, we either raise our standard of living above that necessary for comfort and happiness or we leave it at this level and work shorter hours.I shall take it for granted that mankind has, by that time, chosen the latter alternative. Men will be wor
347、king shorter and shorter hours in their paid employment. It follows that the housewife will also expect to be able to have more leisure in her life without lowering her standard of living. It also follows that human domestic servants will have completely ceased to exist. Yet the great majority of th
348、e housewives will wish to be relieved completely from the routine operations of the home such as scrubbing the floors or the bath of the cooker, or washing the clothes or washing up, or dusting or sweeping, or making beds.By far the most logical step to relieve the housewife of routine is to provide
349、 a robot which can be trained to the requirements of a particular home and can be programmed to carry out half a dozen or more standard operations, when switched by the housewife.51.As civilization develops in the direction of technology，_.Athe basic essentials of life must be suppliedBit is importa

354、 Loving yourself is the greatest love of all and we all need _ to have a full healthy balanced life. But when early experiences have shaped your main beliefs about yourself otherwise, can you learn to love yourself? Yesalthough its easy to tell someone how and not as easy to do. 2 Love is a decision
355、. Make the decision to love yourself in every moment unconditionally, no matter what. Act and speak only in loving ways to yourself. If you have a child or a very dear friend, then use your relationship to them as an example and never say or do anything to yourself that you wouldnt also say or do to
356、 them! Love yourself for being who you are, doing what you do, saying what you say, thinking what you think, and feeling what you feel. When you do that, you make space for yourself to be, do, think, feel, express and accept yourself as you are. 3 What you are unwilling to love in yourself becomes l
357、ike a hard spot (不愿面对的缺点) and difficult to touch or reach, and when you love those hardertoaccept aspects of yourself, it becomes softer and easier to reach. When you find a doctor who is well suited to you and your particular needs, you will begin to soften the hard spots in you, to heal the wounds
358、 that have hurt you, and you will be able to take in the love always deserved. 4 Some people have been so hurt that they need someone elses love for them unconditionally before they can love themselves. Treatment is based on a relationship of trust and can help support and guide your efforts to exam

Buck asked Deluca about his plan for the future. “Im going to college, but I need a way to pay for it，” Deluca recalls saying. “Buck said, you shoul
379、d open a sandwich shop.”That afternoon, they agreed to be partners. And they set a goal: to open 32 stores in ten years. After doing some research, Buck wrote a check for $1,000. Deluca rented a storefront (店面) in Connecticut, and when they couldnt cover their startup costs, Buck kicked in another $
380、1,000.But business didnt go smoothly as they expected. Deluca says, “After six months, we were doing poorly, but we didnt know how badly, because we didnt have any financial controls.” All he and Buck knew was that their sales were lower than their costs.Deluca was managing the store and to the Univ
381、ersity of Bridgeport at the same time. Buck was working at his day job as a nuclear physicist in New York. Theyd meet Monday evenings and brainstorm ideas for keeping the business running. “We convinced ourselves to open a second store. We figured we could tell the public, We are so successful; we a
382、re opening a second store.” And they didin the spring of 1966. Still, it was a lot of learning by trial and error.But the partners learnasyougo approach turned out to be their greatest strength. Every Friday, Deluca would drive around and handdeliver the checks to pay their supplies. “It probably to
383、ok me two and a half hours and it wasnt necessary but as a result, the suppliers got to know me very well, and the personal relationships established really helped out，” Deluca says.And having a goal was also important. “There are so many problems that can get you down. You just have to keep working
384、 toward your goal，” Deluca adds.Deluca ended up founding Subways Sandwich, the multimilliondollar restaurant chain. 36Deluca opened the first sandwich shop in order to _.Asupport his familyBpay for his college education Chelp his partner expand businessDdo some research 37Which of the following is t
385、rue of Buck? AHe put money into the sandwich business. BHe was a professor of business administration. CHe was studying at the University of Bridgeport. DHe rented a storefront for Deluca. 38What can we learn about their first shop? AIt stood at an unfavorable place. BIt lowered the prices to poor m
386、anagement. CIt made no profits due to poor management. DIt lacked control over the quality of sandwich. 39They decided to open a second store because they _. Ahad enough money to do it Bhad succeeded in their business Cwished to meet the increasing demand of customers Dwanted to make believe(假装)that
387、 they were successful 40What contributes most to their success according to the author? ALearning by trial and error.BMaking friends with supplies. CFinding a good partner.DOpening chain stores.BI heard many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At your ag
388、e you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most o
389、f them are clutching (紧握) at one anothers hands for reassurance.They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up huddled (聚在一起) round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or actin
390、g in thusandsuch a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon (蚕茧) into a larger_cocoon.It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every te
391、enager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of todays parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children.

466、oads”， which use cars as tuning forks(音叉)to play music as they travel.The concept works by using grooves(凹槽)They are cut at very specific intervals in the road surface. The melody road uses the spaces between to create different notes.Depending on how far apart the grooves are, a car moving over the

473、have a better life.Do you agree or disagree with the above opinion?2In this fastpaced world, many values are changing.While people traditionally put caring, sharing and generosity in life and work in the first place, modern people seem to be more concerned about themselves.3Modern people act selfish
