43、 high school, I 36 knew I wanted to pursue writing as a career.Writing had basically 37 me when I was only 7 years old, 38 since that time, Id been bombarded by guidance counselors and career planners who all 39 me to have “a back-up plan” in case writing didnt work out.Id never even 40 a different

44、career path, so I was very 41 and worried. After much thought, I decided 42 would be my “back-up plan,” and I signed up for a class through my high school.This 43 that every morning, I would serve as a teachers helper for my favorite 6th grade teacher, Mr. Ralston. Morning after morning, I showed up

45、 in Mr. Ralstons classroom and 44 papers for him.Sometimes, I even 45 a lesson or two. It was fun, and the students seemed to like me, so I was surprised when it came time for my 46 . Mr. Ralston looked me right in the eyes and asked, “Do you really want to teach?”“Had I really been that 47 ?” I tho

46、ught.“Dont misunderstand. Youll do fine in teaching,” he continued. “But, is your 48 really in it?”“Not really,” I 49 . “I want to write. I want to write news stories and fiction and poetry and so much morebut Ive been told its tough to make it as a writer 50 I thought maybe I would teach and then u

47、se my summers 51 to pursue writing.”As I shared with Mr. Ralston my hopes, dreams and carefully plotted-out back-up plan, he smiled and said, “Why are you preparing to 52 with this back-up plan? If you want to be a writer, go for it! Pursue writing!”Mr. Ralstons 53 to follow my dreams was the little

48、 nudge I needed to help me push past my 54 of not making it as a writer and simply “Go for it!”Thats what an encouraging word will do when spoken in love in 55 season. So, lets try and be like Mr. Ralston and speak that word of encouragement at just the right time and make a difference in someones l

59、or and fun to the video17.The other morning on the subway I sat next to an attractive young blonde woman who was reading something on her iPad. She was very well-dressed, carrying a Prada bag with tastefully applied make-up indeed, she had an unmistakable air of wealth, material success and even aut

60、hority. I suspected she worked as a highly-paid Wall Street lawyer or stockbroker or something of that sort. So, I was curious to see what she was so focused on. The Wall Street Journal perhaps? The Economist? Quite the contrary; rather, she was concentrating on a romance novel. Then I realized that

61、 I have known many women who love romance novelssmart, attractive, successful, “liberated,” modem females who nonetheless find some kind of deep satisfaction and thrill from those hyper-romantic, artificial and extremely unrealistic tales of handsome, manly heroes falling in love with virginal women

62、, enduring a series of adventures, then no doubt having a happy ending. These romance stories are to literature what hot dogs are to fine food. Yet, the genre(体裁) remains enormously popular. Consider some of these surprising statistics from the good folks at the Romance Writers of America (RWA):*Mor

63、e than 9,000 romance titles were released last year, with sales of about $1.44 billion (more than triple the revenues generated by classic literary fiction).*More than 90 percent of the market are women (okay, thats not at all surprising).* Readers are typically women between the ages 30 and 54 who

64、are themselves involved in a romantic relationship (betraying the stereotype that only lonely women long for these tales of love and adventure).*Almost 40 percent of romance book consumers have an annual income of between $50,000 and $99,900 (placing them firmly in the middle class). I had thought t

65、hat romance novels accounted for a very small share of the literary market, so I was quite surprised that this part has such enormous popularity. But I must wonder why so many womenforty years after the womens liberation movement continue to indulge in the fanciful tales? Im not sure if it represent

66、s a kind of “rejection” of the womens liberation movement, but clearly something is missing in the lives of contemporary ladies. A romance author named Donna Hatch who focuses on the Regency period (early 19th century Britain) explained the appeal of such books this way: “Regency men were civilized

67、and treated women with courtesy. When a lady entered the room, gentlemen stood, doffed their hats, offered an arm, bowed, and a hundred other little things I wish men still did today. But they were also very athletic; they hunted, raced, boxed, rode horses. They were manly. Strong. Noble. Honorable.

68、 And that is why I love them!” Mrs. Hatch may have expressed the secret desires and attitudes of untold millions of her peers-that is, in the early 21st century, have women grown tired of the burdens and expectations that the “freedoms” they have gained give them? Is this a rejection of modem femini

69、sm? Do women long for days of old when men were masculine gentlemen and women were feminine and protected as precious treasures and regarded as possessions? Perhaps most women (even the ones who get lost in romance novels) do not want to go all the way back but it is obvious, .58. 【小题1】What is the f

70、unction of the opening paragraph?A. To summarize the whole passage.B. To prove the authors argument.C. To lead in the main topic of the passage.D. To raise problems that will be solved later.59. 【小题2】What does the underlined sentence in the third paragraph imply?A. Romance novels are satisfying and

71、thrilling.B. Romance novels are not of much “nutrition”.C. Romance novels are as popular as hot dogs.D.

73、n a faded yellow shirt sat in a windowless room on a raised concrete form. The only source of heat came from somewhere beneath the plastic mattress and the rough blanket the blank-faced police woman had handed him after taking his thumb prints. He heard voices and metallic clang as the cell door swu

74、ng open. At the front desk a tired looking policeman handed the old man back his belongings, his worn-out cap and the Seiko watch that had stopped working the day his beloved Evelyn left. The policeman dramatically held the blue plastic bag at an arms length to the old man who took it and made sure

75、its contents were undamaged: the goat meat, palm oil, leaves and spices. He ignored the confused expression on the officers face and signed the document declaring he had been returned the possessions they had taken off him the night before. No one spoke to him as he walked slowly towards the exit. “

76、Mr. Easy-nwa?” He stopped and prayed to the God who now took care of Evelyn to please take him far away from this unhappy place of expressionless faces, clipped accents and people who did not even attempt to pronounce his name right. “Ezenwa,” He said and looked at a woman with tangerine lips, her n

He wondered if she meant the 50 miles from Liverpool or the 50,000 miles from Enugu,a city in Nigeria. He did not bother replying as this woman had plenty to say

78、 about the weather, bad drivers, her daughters school play. At last she drew up outside the block of flats where he lived. “Got here in the end”,said she seriously, “Really Mr. Easy-nwa, if you keep getting lost, we will have to consider moving you into a home”. “No need, I was not lost,”he answered

79、. He carefully rolled up the sleeves of the oversize bomber jacket he wore and turned on the tap to wash his hands, relieved the pipes were not frozen.

88、 talking to it. Her first experiments began with Alex. Alex was a one-year-old African grey parrot and Irene taught him to produce the sounds of the English language. “I thought if he learned to communicate, I could ask him questions about how he sees the world.”At the time, most scientists didnt be

89、lieve animals had any thoughts. They thought animals were more like robots but didnt have the ability to think or feel. Of course, if you own a pet you probably disagree. But it is the job of a scientist to prove this and nowadays more scientists accept that animals can think for themselves. “Thats

90、why I started my studies with Alex,” Irene said, “Some people actually called me crazy for trying this.”Nowadays, we have more and more evidence that animals have all sorts of mental abilities. Sheep can recognize faces. Chimpanzees (黑猩猩) use a variety of tools and even use weapons to hunt. And Alex

91、 the parrot became a very good talker.Thirty years after the Alex studies began. Irene was still giving him English lessons up until his recent death. For example, if Alex was hungry he could say “want grape”. Alex could count to six and was learning the sounds for seven and eight. “He has to hear t

92、he words over and over before he can correctly say them.” Irene said, after pronouncing “seven” for Alex a few times in a row. Alex could also tell the difference between colors, shapes, sizes, and materials (e.g. wood and metal). Before he finally died, Alex managed to say “seven”.Another famous pe

93、t that proved some animals have greater mental skills was a dog called Rico. He appeared on a German TV game show in 2011. Rico knew the names of 200 different toys and easily learned the names of new ones. When Rico became famous, many other dog owners wanted to show how clever their pets were. Ano

94、ther dog called Betsy could understand 300 words.One theory for dogs ability to learn a language is that they have ben close companions to humans for many centuries and so their ability to understand us is constantly evolving (进化). While animals cant do what humans do yet, some scientists believe th

95、at examples like Alex and Rico prove that evolution develops intelligence, as well as physical appearance.56.【小题1】 Irene wanted to find out _. A. what a parrot thinksB. why a parrot can speak C. how parrots make soundsD. if parrots speak English57. 【小题2】Alex learnt new words by _. A. singing themB.

Stubbornly, we wait for someone else to reach out to usbeli

98、eving this is the only way we can forgive or rekindle a friendship or family relationship.A friend of mine, recently told me that she hadnt spoken to her son in almost three years. She said that she and her son had had a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldnt speak to him again unless he c

99、alled first. When I suggested that she be the one to reach out, she said, “I cant do that. Hes the one who should apologize.” After a little gentle encouragement, however, she did decide to be the first one to reach out. To her amazement, her son was grateful for her willingness to call and offered

100、an apology of his own. As is usually the case when someone takes the chance and reaches out, everyone wins.Whenever we hold on to our anger, we turn “small stuff(问题)” into really “big stuff” in our minds. We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness. They are not. If

101、you want to be a more peaceful person you must understand that being right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy. The way to be happy is to let go, and reach out. Let other people be right. This doesnt mean that youre wrong. Everything will be fine. Youll experience the p

102、eace of letting go, as well as the joy of letting others be right.Youll also notice that, as you reach out and let others be “right,” they will become less defensive and more loving toward you. They might even reach back. But, if for some reason they dont, thats okay too. Youll have the inner satisf

103、action of knowing that you have done your part to create a more loving world, and certainly youll be more peaceful yourself.67. 【小题1】The underlined word “rekindle” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_”.A. recover B. develop C. accept D. replace68.【小题2】 In the authors opinion, we hold on to our anger oft

106、s capital. Three windmills(风车) were recently introduced in a Copenhagen neighbourhood, and the city plans to add another 97.“Weve made a very ambitious commitment to make Copenhagen CO2-neutral by 2025,” Frank Jensen, the mayor, says. “But going green isnt only a good thing. Its a must.” The citys c

107、arbon-neutral plan, passed two years ago, will make Copenhagen the worlds first zero-carbon capital.With wind power making up 33% of Denmarks energy supply, the country already features plenty of wind turbines. Indeed, among the first sights greeting airborne visitors during the landing at Copenhage

108、ns Kastrup airport is a chain of sea-based wind towers. By 2020, the windswept country plans to get 50% of its energy from wind power.Now turbines are moving into the city and these ones will cost less than half the price of those sea-based. Having the energy production closer makes it cheaper, and

109、land-based turbines are the cheapest possible source of energy available today. Fixing them also makes the locals more aware of their energy consumption.Though considerably less attractive than it was in ancient times, the windmill is enjoying popularity in the 21st century. “Windmills are a symbol

110、of the new and clean Copenhagen,” says resident Susanne Sayers. Meanwhile, fellow Copenhagen citizen Maria Andersen worries about the noise, explaining that she wouldnt want a wind turbine in her neighbourhood. While Copenhagen citizens approve of the windmills, theyre less willing to live close to

111、one. The answer, the city has decided, is to sell turbine shares.Each share represents 1,000 kW hours/year, with the profit tax-free. With a typical Copenhagen household consuming 3,500 kW hours/year, a family buying four shares effectively owns its own renewable energy supply. To date, 500 resident

112、s have bought 2,500 shares. Involving the local population was a smart move. “There are a lot of things you can do close to people if its not too big and if theres a model where locals feel involved and get to share in the profit. Knowing that you, or your neighbours, own a technology creates a very

113、 different atmosphere than if a multinational owned it,” says Vad Mathiesen.Going green? Yes. Accepted by the population? Yes. Going with centuries-old city architecture? Hardly.Certainly, the three turbines dont exactly blight the 18th-century city centre, as they are in a neighbourhood 3 km away.

114、According to the mayors office, none of the remaining 97 turbines will rise in architecturally sensitive areas. But Sascha Haselmayer, CEO of city creation group Citymart, warns, “With Denmark being a world-leading producer of windmills, there is a risk that the answer to every energy question is wi

115、ndmills.”“Weve destroyed mountains and lakes in order to support our lifestyle,” notes Irena Bauman, an architect and professor at Sheffield University. “Wind turbines are a sign that were learning to live with nature. I hope well have them all over the world,” she says. “They may be unpleasant to s

116、ome, but better-looking ones will come. Its just that we dont have time to wait for them!”41.【小题1】Denmark has decided to build windmills in its capital mainly to _.A. make windmills its cultural symbolB. advocate an environmentally-friendly lifestyleC. take advantage of its limited wind powerD. gree

By promising them that all their income is free of tax.B. By designing less noisy windmills to ease their worries.C. By convincing them that land-based tu

By offering them the chance to get the profit the windmills bring.43.【小题3】The underlined word “blight” (Paragraph 8) is closest in meaning to _.A. spoilB. improveC. pollute D. occupy44.【小题4】Sascha Haselmayers attitude to building windmills can best be described as _.A. dis

119、approvingB. unconcerned C. cautiousD. enthusiastic45.【小题5】Which of the following words would Irena Bauman most probably agree with?A. “It benefits us more to fit wind turbines in cities than in mountain areas or by lakes.”B. “We should sell more wind turbines to other countries to make us one of the

120、 richest.”C. “We should devote more time to developing the wind turbines that go with the city.”D. “Its not what wind turbines look like but how we live that really matters at present.”22.It was a weeknight. We were a half dozen guys in our late teens, hanging around “the flat” as usual. The flat wa

121、s poorly furnished, which, after some time, grew tiresome. We wanted action.We got in a car, big enough for all of us to crowd into and off we went, in search of adventure. We soon found ourselves at Blue Gum Corner, a place named after the huge old blue gum tree that stood by there, a well-known lo

122、cal landmark. It stands at a minor crossroad leading to our town. The trunk is tall and smooth with no handholds for climbing. About six metres from the ground the first branch sticks out over the road. We parked beneath the huge old tree and discussed what we might do. All of a sudden we hit upon a

123、n idea a hanging! I was chosen as “hangee”.The plan was quite simple. As I stood upon the roof of the car, the rope(绳子) was threaded down my jacket through my collar and down one leg of my jeans. I put my foot through the loop at the bottom. There I hung, still. The boys rolled about laughing until,

124、 a car, I hear a car! Before they ran to hide in the nearby field, they gave me a good push so that “the body” would swing as the car drove by.To our disappointment, the car simply turned off for town without even slowing. The boys came out of their hiding places and we discussed the situation. Sure

125、ly they had seen me, hadnt they? Then we heard another car. The act was repeated, but still without any obvious reaction. We played the game about five or six times, but as no one seemed to notice, we abandoned the trick.What we did not know was that every car that had passed had unquestionably seen

126、 “the body” and each one, too scared to stop, had driven directly to the local Police Station. Now at that time of the night, the local policeman was sound asleep in his bed, so the first person sent to the scene was the traffic officer that happened to be on duty that particular night. He had been

127、informed that some person had been killed, by hanging, at Blue Gum Corner. When he arrived, the body was gone! And he was hearing “unnatural sounds” from the surrounding area. As far as he knew, some fierce animal was hiding in the field before him, possibly dragging a body behind him and we thought

128、 we were scared!He went to his radio and made a call that really began to worry us. I lay so close that I could hear every word. He called for the “armed police” and a “dog team, better make it two” and he had a “serious situation” at Blue Gum Corner. Then the police officer arrived. After a briefin

129、g from the traffic officer he decided not to go into the field until armed police and dog teams arrived. Now two spotlights were on the field and none of us could move.As luck would have it, police cars cannot leave their spotlights on all night without charging their batteries. So, after a time, th

130、e two officers began lightening the field by turns, allowing us the opportunity to move on our fours for freedom. One by one, we all managed to steal away and make our way home. Behind us we left what must have looked like a small city of lights, police cars, roadblocks, barking dogs, armed officers

131、 and an old rope hanging from a tree.When I think back to that night, to that tree, to what the drivers of the cars think happened, to what police believe happened, and to what I know happened, I am reminded of a simple truth our eyes see darkness and light, color and movement, our ears hear only vi

152、son is intelligent and another is not, or why one is cooperative and another is competitive.Social scientists are, of course, extremely interested in these types of question. They want to explain why we possess certain characteristics and exhibit certain behaviors. There are no clear answers yet, bu

153、t two distinct schools of thought on the matter have developed. As one might expect, the two approaches are very different from each other, and there is a great deal of debate between proponents of each theory. The argument is often conveniently referred to as nature vs. nurture.Those who support th

154、e “nature” side of the conflict believe that our personalities and behavior patterns are largely determined by biological and genetic factors. That our environment has little, if anything, to do with our abilities, characteristics and behavior is central to this theory. Taken to an extreme, this the

155、ory maintains that our behavior is predetermined(注定)to such a great degree that we are almost completely governed by our instincts(本能).Proponents of the “nurture” theory, or, as they are often called, behaviorists, claim that our environment is more important than our biologically based instincts in

156、 determining how we will act. Behaviorists see humans as beings whose behavior is almost completely shaped by their surroundings. Their view of the human being is quite mechanistic; they maintain that, like machines, humans respond to environmental stimuli (something that helps sb./ sth. to develop

157、better and more quickly)as the basis of their behavior.The social and political connections of these two theories are significant. In the United States, for example, blacks often score below whites on standardized intelligent test. This leads some “nature” proponents to conclude that blacks are gene

158、tically worse than whites. Behaviorists, in contrast, say that the differences in scores are due to the fact that blacks are often robbed of many of the educational and other environmental advantages that whites enjoy, and that, as a result ,they do not develop the same responses that whites do.Neit

159、her of these theories can yet fully explain human behavior. In fact, it is quite likely that the key to our behavior lies somewhere between these two extremes. That the argument will continue for a long time is certain.32.【小题1】The author is mainly concerned about solving the problem.A. why our perso

160、nalities and behaviors differB. what makes different stages of intelligenceC. how social scientists form different theoriesD. what causes the “nature/ nurture” argument33.【小题2】The underlined word “proponents” can best be replaced by.A. approaches B. advocates C. principles D. characters34.【小题3】Which

162、 What can we learn about the behaviorists?A. They believe human beings are mechanical.B. They compare our behaviors to the machines.C. They suggest that we react to the environment as the machines do.D. They agree that the mechanistic theory can be applied on us as well.25.If you see a person carele

163、ssly throw a cigarette to the ground, what are you likely to think?If you hate people throwing things on the ground, you might think, “That person shouldnt litter.” If you are a smoker, you might think, “I would sure like a cigarette right now.”Most likely, though, you are not thinking, “That unused

164、 cigarette butt could be used to make something amazing!”That is, unless you are a creative scientist. If you are, you may see potentiala possibilitywhere others simply see trash(垃圾). That is just what has happened in South Korea.The spirit of invention can hit at the strangest times and in the most

165、 unusual places. In South Korea, it happened near a trash can.Kin Gil-Pyo is with the Seoul National University. He says he saw people throwing away cigarette butts, which got him thinking. He began wondering if something useful could be made from them.He and other researchers found a way to convert

166、 cigarette butts into materials required for high-performance batteries.Kim Gil-Pyo says they looked closely at used cigarette filters(滤嘴), the parts of cigarettes smokers put into their mouths. Filters are made of a material called “cellulose acetate(醋酸纤维素).”Mr. Kim explains that cellulose acetate

167、can be made into another material: carbon. The pieces of cellulose acetate, known as fibers, are changed through a one-step burning process. After this, they are turned into an energy storage material.But why use carbon? Carbon has many qualities that seem to make it the perfect material. Carbon has

168、 a high surface area. It conducts electricity well. It also stays stable, unlikely to change, for a long time. And carbon does not cost a lot. All these qualities make it the most popular material for making super-capacitors(超级电容器).Super-capacitors are good at storing energy. They have high-power ma

169、ss, or density(密度). They require only a short time for recharging. And they have a long lifecycle. Super-capacitors are used in products such as laptop computers and cell phones. They are also used in industrial energy converters, like wind turbine machines.Combining carbon and super-capacitors seem

170、s like a perfect marriage.Kim Gil-Pyo tells the Reuters News Agency that cigarette butts could affect the economy is a huge way. They could prove to be a low-cost source of carbon material. They are so cheap that smokers throw them to the ground. And you dont get much cheaper than that.32.【小题1】What

Since Henry Ford turned it into a mass-market product a century ago, the car has delivered many benefits. It has promo

174、ted economic growth, increased social mobility and given people a lot of fun. But the car has also brought many problems. It pollutes the air, creates traffic jams and kills people. An astonishing 1.24 million people die, and as many as 50 million are hurt, in road accidents each year. Drivers and p

175、assengers waste around 90 billion hours in traffic jams each year. In some car-choked cities as much as a third of the petrol used is burned by people looking for a space to park. Fortunately, a new technology promises to make motoring safer, less polluting and less tendency to hold-ups. “Connected

176、cars”-which may eventually develop into driverless cars but for the foreseeable future will still have a human at the wheel-can communicate wirelessly with each other and with traffic-management systems, avoid walkers and other vehicles and find open parking spots.
