25、ans? Well, in America, the word is now often used. The American couch-potato becomes maybe even a part of the American tradition！ You see, in America many people often spend their free time sitting on a couch watching TV. As there are many channels to choose, the TV can be quite interesting and very
26、 addictive. One may sit and watch TV for hours and hours without a stop! Well, these people who do nothing all day except watching TV are called couch-potatoes.In America, when one watches TV, one is most often sitting on a couch. While watching TV, most of these people look so frozen(冻僵的) that they
27、 almost look like dead things! Everyone is sitting still with eyes looking right into the same black box. Also because these people are addictive to TV, they dont take exercise and usually get very fat. So in many ways, these people look like real potatoes! Well, because they look so still and fat,
28、and watch TV on a couch, they are all called couch-potatoes. Now that you know what a couch-potato means, next time when you see someone watching TV too long, just say, “what a couch-potato!”56. The word “couch-potato” means those who_.ALove sitting on a couch all the time.Bspend a lot of time sitti
29、ng on a couch watching TVClike eating potatoes on a couchDenjoy eating on a couch and doing nothing.57.

30、e following might be the writers suggestion? A Take more exercise BNever watch TV C Dont sit on a couch DDont watch TV too muchBNot everyone in the world requires the same amount of living space. The amount of space a person needs around him is a cultural difference, not an economic one. Knowing you
31、r own psychological(心理的) space needs is important because they strongly affect your choices, including, for example, the number of bedrooms in the home. If you were brought up in a two-child family and both you and your sister or brother had your own bedrooms, the chances are if you have two childre
32、n or more, that you also will offer separate bedrooms for them. In America, for example, they train people to want to have their own rooms by giving them their own rooms when they are babies. This is very unusual in the world. In many other countries, the baby sleeps in the same bed with his parents
33、 or in bed near them.The space in the home also shows a lot about psychological space needs. Some families gather closer to each other and the size of their house has nothing to do with it. Others have separate little corners where family members go to be alone.Although it is true that psychological
34、 space needs are not decided by economic reasons, they sometimes have to be changed a little because of economic pressure. It is almost impossible, however, to completely change your psychological space needs.59. The first sentence in Paragraph 1 “Not everyone in the world requires the same amount o
35、f space” means “_”.A. Not two people need exactly the same amount of living spaceB. Living space requirements are not always the sameC. The world requires the same amount of living space D. Nobody needs a required amount of living space60. Some families gather closer to each other at home than other

Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Americans are trained to live in t
37、he large rooms at birth.B. Economic situation decides ones amount of space needs.C. People in different countries demand(need) different psychological space.D. Knowing your psychological space needs is important, as it has effect on your future. 62. The best title for this passage is _.A. American W
38、ay of LivingB. Psychological SpaceC. Space Needs in Different Countries D. Psychological Space and Economic PressureCWhat is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, red? If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer gray
39、s and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. If you love green, you are strong-minded and determined(意志坚定的). You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what psychologists(心理学家)tell us, and they should know, because th
40、ey have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, and the effect that colors have on human beings. They tell us that we dont choose our favorite color as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.A
41、 yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and more comfortable than a dark green one, and a red dress rings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing(压抑). Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active. It is a fact that factory workers w
42、ork better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark gray.Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can always brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a few colorful things. Remember also that you will know your friends and your ene
43、mies better when you find out what colors they like and dislike. And dont forget that anyone can guess a lot about your character when you choose a piece of handkerchief.63.

44、rence is changeableD. one has to choose his favorite color as soon as he can see clearly64. We would pay attention to colors because _.A. colors do have effect on our moods(情绪)B. colors may have effect on our work and studyC. light and bright colors make people happyD. you can only know your friends

The main idea of this passage is _.A. ones color preference shows ones characterB. you can brighten your life with wonderful colorsC. psychologists have been studying the meaning of color preferenceD. ones color preference has something to do with his ch
46、aracter and colors have effects on human beings66. I am feeling black means _.A. I am feeling well B. I am very happy C. I am excited D. I am depressedDEarly one morning, more than a hundred years ago, an American inventor called Elias Howe finally fell asleep. He had been working all night on the d
47、esign of a sewing machine but he had run into a very difficult problem: It seemed impossible to get the thread to run smoothly around the needle. Though he was tired, Howe slept badly. He turned and turned. Then he had a dream. He dreamt that he had been caught by terrible savages whose king wanted
48、to kill him and eat him unless he could build a perfect sewing machine. When he tried to do so, Howe ran into the same problem as before. The thread kept getting caught around the needle. The king flew into the cage and ordered his soldiers to kill Howe. They came up towards him with their spears ra
49、ised. But suddenly the inventor noticed something. There was a hole in the tip of each spear(矛). The inventor awoke from the dream, realizing that he had just found the answer to the problem. Instead of trying to get the thread to run around the needle(针), he should make it run through a small hole
50、in the center of the needle. This was the simple idea that finally made Howe design and build the first really practiced sewing machine.Elias Howe was not the only one in finding the answer to his problem in this way. Thomas Edison, the inventor of the electric light, said his best ideas came into h
51、im in dreams. So did the great physicist Albert Einstein. Charlotte Bronte also drew in her dreams in writing Jane Eyre.To know the value of dreams, you have to understand what happens when you are asleep. Even then, a part of your mind is still working. This unconscious(无意识的), but still active part
52、 understands your experiences and goes to work on the problems you have had during the day. It stores all sorts of information that you may have forgotten or never have really noticed. It is only when you fall asleep that this part of the brain can send messages to the part you use when you are awak
53、e. However, the unconscious part acts in a special way. It uses strange images which the conscious part may not understand at first. This is why dreams are sometimes called “secret messages to ourselves”67. According to the passage, Elias Howe was_.A. the first person we know of who solved problems
54、in his sleepB. much more hard-working than other inventorsC. the first person to design a sewing machine that really workedD. the only person at the time who knew the value of dreams68.The problem Howe was trying to solve was_. A. what kind of thread to useB. how to design a needle which would not b
55、reakC. where to put the needleD. how to prevent the thread from getting caught around the needle69.Thomas Edison is spoken of because_ A. he also tried to invent a sewing machine.B. he got some of his ideas from dreamsC. he was one of Howes best friendsD. he also had difficulty in falling asleep70.
56、Dreams are sometimes called “secret messages to ourselves” because _.A. strange images are used to communicate ideasB. images which have no meaning are usedC. we can never understand the real meaningD. only specially trained people can understand themEThirteen vehicles lined up last March to race ac
57、ross the Mojave Desert, seeking a million in prize money. To win, they had to finish the 142-mile race in less than 10 hours. Teams and watchers knew there might be no winner at all, because these vehicles were missing a key part -drivers.DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, organiz
58、ed the race as part of a push to develop robotic vehicles for future battlefields. But the Grand Challenge, as it was called, just proved how difficult it is to get a car to speed across an unfamiliar desert without human guidance. One had its brake lock up in the starting area. Another began by thr
59、owing itself onto a wall. Another got tied up by bushes near the road after 1.9 miles.One turned upside down. One took off in entirely the wrong direction and had to be disabled by remote (远距离的) control . One went a little more than a mile and rushed into a fence; another managed to go for six miles
60、 but stuck on a rock. The “winner,” if there was any, reached 7.8 miles before it ran into a long, narrow hole, and the front wheels caught on fire.“You get a lot of respect for natural abilities of the living things,” says Reinhold Behringer, who helped design two of the car-size vehicles for a com
61、pany called Sci-Autonics. “Even ants (蚂蚁) can do all these tasks effortlessly . Its very hard for us to put these abilities into our machines.”The robotic vehicles, though with necessary modern equipment such as advanced computers and GPS guidance, had trouble figuring out fast enough the blocks ahe
