17、a kid who just needs a lot more attention, others see a mentally disabled boy, a kid who cannot walk or talk or think for himself. I see someone who just makes daily routine a bit less routine. Others see an annoyance, a bother.This is not to say that I have never felt resentful(怨恨的) toward Joe. He
18、is my brother, andwith that comes responsibility. “Gina, could you stay in tonight and watch your brother? ” “Gina, do me a favor and feed him dinner and change his diaper(尿布) later, p lease?” “Could you co me home right after school today and get Joe off the bus?”These are phrases that I have heard
19、 since I was twelve. And sure, they have made me resent my brother to a certain extent. I would think: thats not fair! Everyone else can stay after and be a member of this club, or get extra help from that teacher. Or, all my friends are going out tonight, why cant I? And, How come I have to feed hi
20、m? He is not my son!However, the small amount of resentment I feel toward my brother is erased a thousand times over by what I have learned from him.

25、 treasure meaningful momentsCFear may be felt in the heart as well as in the head, according to a study that has found a link between the cycles of a beating heart and the chance of someone feeling fear.Tests on healthy volunteers found that they were more likely to feel a sense of fear at the momen
26、t when their hearts are contracting(收缩)and pumping blood around their bodies, compared with the point when the heartbeat is relaxed. Scientists say the results suggest that the heart is ableto influence how the brain responds to a fearful event, depending on which point it is at in its regular cycle
27、 of contraction and relaxation.Sarah Garfinkel at the Brighton and S ussex Medical School said: “Our study shows for thefirst time that the way in which we deal with fear is different depending on when we see fearful pictures in relation to our heart.”The study tested 20 healthy volunteers on their
28、reactions to fear as they were shown pictures of fearful faces. Dr Garfinkel said, “The study showed that fearful faces are better noticed when the heart is pumping than when it is relaxed. Thus our hearts ca n also affect what we see and what we dont seeand guide whether we see fear.”To further und
29、erstand this relationship, the scientists also used a brain scanner to show how thebrain influences the way the heart changes a persons feeling of fear.“We have found an important mec ha nism by which the heart and brain speak to each other to change our feelings and reduce fear,” Dr Garfinkel said.
30、“We hope that by increasing our understanding about how fear is dealt with and ways that itcould be reduced, we may be able to develop more successful treatments for anxiety disorders, and also for those who may be suffering from serious stress disorder.”28. What is the finding of the study?A. Ones
31、fast heartbeats are likely to cause fear. B. Fear is a result of ones relaxed heartbeat. C. Fear has something to do with ones health.D. Ones heart affects how he feels fear.29. The study was carried out by analyzing .A. volunteers reactions to horrible pictures and data from their brain scansB. the
32、 time volunteers saw fearful pictures and their health conditionsC. volunteers heartbeats when they saw terrible picturesD. different pictures shown to volunteers and their heartbrain communication30. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “mechanism” in Paragraph6?A. or
33、der.B. machine.C. system.D. treatment.31. This study may contribute to .A. explaining the cycle of fear and anxietyB. treating anxiety and stress betterC. finding the key to the heartbrain communicationD. understanding different fears in our hearts and headsDPrices determine hot resources which are
34、to be used. They are also the means by which products and services that are in limited supply are rationed (定量分配) among buyers. The price system of the United States is very complex network made up of the prices of all the productsbought and sold in the economy as well as those of a variety of servi
35、ces, including labor, professional transportation, and public facilities. The interrelationships of all these prices make up the system of prices. The price of any particular product or service is linked to a broad, complicated system of prices in which everything seems to depend more or less upon e
36、verything else.If one wants to ask a group of randomly selected individuals to define “price”, many would reply that price is an amount of money paid by buyer to the seller of a product or service, in other words, that price is the money value of a product or service as agreed upon in a market trans
37、action. This definition is, of course, reasonable as far as it goes. For a complete understanding of a price in any particular transaction, much more than the amount of money involved must be known. Both the buyer and the seller should be familiar with not only the money amount, but with the amount
38、and quality of the product or service to be exchanged, the time and place at which the exchange will take place and payment will be made, the form of money to be used, the credit terms and discountsthat supply to the transaction, guarantees on the product or service, delivery terms, return privilege
39、s, and other factors. In other words, both buyer and seller should be fully aware of all the factors that make up the total “package” being exchanged for the asked-for amount of money in order that they may evaluate a given price.32. What is the best title for the passage?A. The Potential Weaknesses
40、 of the Price SystemB. The Complexities of the Price SystemC. Credit Terms in TransactionD. Resource Allocation (分配) and the Public Facilities33.

41、cts and services34. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a factor in the complete understanding of price?A. Instructions that come with a productB. The quantity of a productC. The quality of productD. Guarantees over a product35. The paragraph following the passage most likely dis
42、cusses .A. unusual ways to advertise productsB. types of payment plans for serviceC. theories about how products affect different levels of societyD. how certain factors of price “package” influence market.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Most of us may have the same fe
