He died the next day, and it seemed all 34 escaped from the life of my mother and me.I finally remembered to 35 about the framed portraits. I was surprised when the shopkee

As I looked into my mothers sad eyes and unsmiling face, I decided to give her Daddys and my 39 . After she saw it,

20、elps appearing to use marijuana(大麻), Im not sure that I can remain a loyal fan.Just as I was shocked over phelps fall from perfection, many music fans have had to come to terms with the accusation that Chris Brown abused his girlfriend, fellow superstar Rihanna.Phelps, 23, and Brown, 19, are young r
21、ole models for future athletes and musicians. Companies once competed to have them advertise their products to the youth market. Now those same companies have dropped them like a couple of rotten potatoes.For me, Phelps appeal(other than his amazing talent in the pool) is his humility(谦恭) and honest
22、y. He never denied using marijuana. He has taken his punishment, and accepted that he made a mistake and that his temporary ban from the pool is a “fair” punishment. Even with photographers and journalists tracking his every step, he has never lashed out(发飙) and even apologized several times for his
23、 behavior.I am happy to see that he has continued to be a man worthy of titles such as Sportsman of the Year. I hope that he lives up to his promise to reform.On the other hand, I find it more difficult to forgive Brown. Im not sure whether this has to do with my closer ties to the world of swimming
24、 than the world of hip-hop, or the seriousness of the accusation against him compared to Phelps crime. Brown has issued an apology, but there are still a lot of unanswered questions.It can be argued that the media set these two celebrities up for a fall. The media gave so much attention to the two y
25、oung men that it was likely they would, at some point, be caught making a youthful mistake. Sadly, both Brown and Phelps misbehavior will likely damage their images in the eyes of their young fans.But we must remember that nobody is perfect. Celebrities should try their best to be full-time role mod
26、els to their fans. However a celebrity cant be expected to not have human faults just because his face is on a box of cereal(谷类). So, Im definitely open to forgiveness.41. After knowing that Phelps used marijuana, the writers attitude towards him _.A. has changed from shock to understanding and forg
27、ivenessB. has changed from shock to doubt and regretC. has changed from disbelief to disappointmentD. has changed from annoyance to forgiveness42. We know from the passage that Chris Brown _.A. was sentenced to community service due to mistreatment of his girlfriendB. refused to admit his mistreatme
28、nt of his girlfriendC. was still loved by the author because of his unmatched talent in hip-hopD. failed to clear up the doubt following the accusations of his mistreatment of his girlfriend43. When the writer wrote, “It can be argued that the media set these two celebrities up for a fall”, she mean
29、t that _.A. the media have treated these celebrities cruellyB. the media are sort of responsible for what happenedC. the media have sought to damage both their images in the public eyeD. anything thats related to the media is ugly44. The purpose of writing the passage is _.A. to share her thoughts o

31、ar known as fructose(果糖) seem to age faster than other rats, and the same could be true, of people who eat too much sweet junk food, Israeli researchers said Monday.Fructose, found naturally in honey and fruit, is used widely in foods ranging from soft drinks to yogurt. Dr Moshe Werman and Boaz Levi
32、 of the Technion, Israel Institute of Technology, fed large amounts of fructose to laboratory rats. Writing in the Journal of Nutrition, they said the fructose-fed rats showed changes in the collagen of their skins, and bones. Collagen, found in connective tissue and bones, basically holds the body
33、together. The loss of collagen is what makes skin loose and causes deep wrinkles in old people.According to Wermans team, the process affected is known as “cross-linking”. Too much cross-linking encourages wrinkled skin. The same could be true of people, although this has not been shown. “Americans
34、are eating more and more processed foods, such as carbonated drinks, baked goods, canned fruits, jams and dairy products that contain fructose,” Werman said in a statement. Other studies have shown that high fructose intake can affect how the body handles glucose(葡萄糖) and increases insulin resistanc
35、e-which can both be important measures of the tendency toward diabetes.The rats Werman worked with were fed much more than the average adult person might eat in a day, which is standard in such experiments. The rats were fed 12.5 grams of fructose per kg of weight every day for a year. For a compari
36、son, a person weighing 70 kg who drinks a liter of cola consumes about 60 grams of fructose, or 0.8 gram per kg of body weight.45. According to the text, which of the following stataments about fructose is TRUE?A. Its a kind of man-made fruits B. Its naturally found in water and milk.C. Lots of peop
37、le like its taste. D. It slows your brain down as youre aging.46. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?A. According to Werman, cross-linking affects the form of collagen.B. Wermans team is going to do experiments on humans.C. Americans generally look older than people in other countries do.D. Havin
38、g too much fructose may have bad effects on both looks and health.47. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Sugar-Tasty but Harmful B. Sugar-Harmful to the OldC. Sugar-It Could Destroy You D. Sugar-It Could Age You48. What will be most probably talked about next?A. The possi
39、bility of humans aging process influenced by fructose they take.B. The differences of the eating habits of humans and rats.C. The harm junk food does to humans health.D. The factors which lead to being overweight. CA new research has uncovered that culture is a determining factor when interpreting f
40、acial emotions. The study reveals that in cultures where emotional control is the standard, such as japan, focus is placed on the eyes to interpret emotions. Whereas in cultures where emotion is openly expressed, such as the United states, the focus is on the mouth to interpret emotion.“These findin
41、gs go against the popular theory that the facial expressions of basic emotions can be universally recognized,” said University of Alberta researcher Dr. Takahiko Masuda. “A persons culture plays a very strong role in determining how they will read emotions and needs to be considered when interpretin
42、g facial expression.”These cultural differences are even noticeable in computer emotions(情感符号), which are used to convey a writers emotions over email and text messaging. The Japanese emotions for happiness and sadness vary in terms of how the eyes are drawn, while American emotions vary with the di
43、rection of the mouth. In the United States the emotions :) and :-) show a happy face, whereas the emotions :( or ( show a sad face. However, Japanese tend to use the symbol (-) to indicate a happy face, and (;-;) to indicate a sad face.“We think it is quite interesting and appropriate that a culture
44、 tends to mask its emotions. The Japanese would focus on a persons eyes when determining emotion, as eyes tend to be quite subtle(微妙的),” said Masuda. “In the United States, where open emotion is quite common, it makes sense to focus on the mouth, which is the most expressive feature on a persons fac
45、e.” 49. The text mainly tells us that _. A. cultural differences are expressed in emotionsB. culture is the key to interpreting facial emotionsC. different emotions are preferred in different culturesD. people from different cultures express emotions differently50. If a Japanese wants to detect whet
46、her a smile is true or false, he will probably _.A. read the whole face B. focus on the mouthC. look into the eyes D. judge by the voice51. People used to believe that _.A. some facial expressions of emotions were too complex to be recognizedB. people in the world interpreted basic emotions in diffe
47、rent waysC. people could only recognize the facial expressions of basic emotionsD. people all over the world understood basic emotions in the same way52. The computer emotions used by the Americans show that _.A. they express their feelings openly B. they tend to control their emotionsC. they are go
48、od at conveying their emotions D. they use simpler emotions to show their feelings DAs policymakers, it is our responsibility to ensure that the agencies in charge of protecting public health and our drinking water supplies are carrying out their responsibilities. Unfortunately, for more than 10 yea
49、rs the EPA has allowed pollution caused by unregulated perchlorate(高氯酸盐) to threaten both public health and our drinking water supplies.Perchlorate is an ingredient in rocket fuel, ninety percent of which is produced for use by the U.S. Department of Defense and NASA. It is extremely soluble(可溶解的) a
50、nd has been found in drinking water, food, groundwater, irrigation water, soil and human breast milk. EPA data shows that perchlorate is known to have contaminated at nearly 153 public water systems in 26 states.Perchlorate presents a risk to human health in vulnerable populations, including pregnan
51、t women and children, as it blocks the ability of the thyroid(甲状腺) to absorb iodine(碘). Studies have shown that significant changes in thyroid hormone levels in humans who were exposed to perchlorate, including 43 million women who are at high risk. More than 250,000 one year-olds are exposed to per
52、chlorate above the governments safe dose from food sources alone. This is equal to that of one in every 16 one year-olds in the country.Without a standard our nations drinking water supply will continue to be exposed to unnecessary risks. We must protect public health and drinking water supplies by
53、establishing a national primary drinking water standard that is protective of populations. I am proud that we took a step in a right direction with the Subcommittee passage of H.R.1747, the Safe Drinking Water for Healthy Communities Act.H.R.1747 would require EPA to regulate perchlorate levels in d
54、rinking water within 2.5 years.53. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. Perchlorate is bad for health. B. Perchlorate is good for our body.C. Perchlorate is helpful to purify water. D. Perchlorate is a must for drinking water. 54. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to t
55、he passage?A. Ninety percent of perchlorate is produced for use by the U.S. Department of Defense and NASA.B. Perchlorate is an ingredient in rocket fuel and has been found in drinking water, food, etc.C. Overuse of perchlorate has threaten both public health and the drinking water supplies.D. Perch
56、lorate seldom blocks the ability of the thyroid to absorb iodine.55. What does the last paragraph suggest?A. The country has not had a national primary drinking water standard.B. The nations drinking water supply is short.C. The people took a step in a wrong direction with the Subcommittee passage o
57、f H.R.1747.D. EPA will regulate perchlorate levels in polluting water within 2.5 years.56. What would be the best title for the passage?A. It Is Time to Protect Public health and Drinking Water B. It Is Time to Stop PollutionC. What Is Perchlorate D. How Perchlorate Destroys WaterEThe January 12 Hai
58、ti earthquake and its aftershocks killed or injured hundreds of thousands of people in the Caribbean island nation, mostly as a result of what engineers call structural failure-buildings collapsing, roofs falling in, that sort of thing.Although a fault line goes pretty much right through Haitis capi
59、tal city, Port-au-Prince, the natural disaster most Haitians worried about is hurricane. The destructive tropical(热带的) storms rake(把耙出来) through the region every summer, and Haiti, a very poor country , was still cleaning up from a succession of severe hurricanes over the past two years. The last bi
60、g earthquake was in the 19th century. So its not surprising that many buildings were not designed or built to withstand the shock.Civil engineering professor Anne Kiremidjian of Stanford University has been studying pictures from the earthquake zone, where she says masonry(石工工程), concrete frame, and
61、 adobe(砖坯) construction dominates.”All three types of construction can be extremely vulnerable(脆弱的) to earthquakes.” For example, she says masonry buildings-made of brick or concrete block- have to be properly reinforced(增强). The building materials and techniques used in Haiti are not necessarily pr
62、one to failure, says structural engineering professor Clay Naito of Lehigh University in Pennsylvania. But construction has to be done right.”Reinforced concrete is an excellent material for earthquakes. You can design structures out of reinforced concrete that work very well under very high earthqu
63、ake demands.” Naito said.Engineers stress the importance of adopting a building code that would require features to make buildings less prone to earthquake damage.Architecture professor Mary Comerio of the University of California at Berkeley notes that the costs of reconstruction in Haiti under muc
64、h stricter building codes would be “astronomical”.“Its not just Haitis problem,” she stressed. “I think this is a worldwide problem. There was a study done that people tend to forget within 10 years that there was a devastating(毁灭性的) earthquake. Or that there was a devastating event. If it doesnt ha
65、ppen frequently enough, people have a tendency to forget, and very often choose to forget.”57. What did the January 12 Haiti earthquake result in most?A. Hundreds of thousands of people were killed or injured and peoples worry.B. Haitis capital city was completely destroyed and under construction.C.
66、 Hundreds of thousands of people were killed or injured and constructions failure.D. Architecture professors want to design the structural system and new Haiti.58. How many engineering professors are mentioned in the passage?A. Two. B. Three. C. Four D. Five.59. Which of the following is TRUE accord
67、ing to the passage?A. What Haitians worried about most every summer is hurricane.B. What cannot be extremely vulnerable to earthquakes are all masonry buildings.C. What professor Clay Naito said means reinforced concrete is bad for earthquakes.D. What people have a tendency to forget is a worldwide
