And
24、 nowhere more so than in Thailand. Unlike its African cousin, the Asian elephant is easily domesticated (驯化).The rare so-called white elephants have actually lent the power of royalty to its rulers, and until the 1920s the national flag was a white elephant on a red background. To the early Western
25、visitors, the countrys romantic name was “Land of the White Elephant”.Today, however, the story is very different. Out of work and out of land, the Thai elephant struggles for survival in a nation that no longer needs it. The elephant has found itself more or less deserted by previous owners who hav
26、e moved on to a different economic world and a society in the western part. And while the elephants problems began many years ago, now it has a very low national advantage.How does the national symbol turn into ignored animals? It is a story of worse environment and the changing lives of the Thais t
27、hemselves. According to Richard Lair, Thailands expert on the Asian elephant and author of the report Gone Astray, at the turn of the last century, there may well have been as many as 100,000 national elephants in the country. In the north of Thailand alone, it was estimated (估计) that more than 20,0
28、00 elephants were employed in transport, 1,000 of them alone on the road between the cities of Chiang Mai and Chiang Saen. This was at a time when 90 percent of Thailand was still foresta habitat that not only supported the animals but also made them necessary to carry goods and people. Nothing plou
29、ghs through thick forest better than lots of sure-footed elephants. By 1950 the elephant population had dropped, but still to the number of 13,397. However, today there are probably no more than 3,800, with another 1,350 wandering free in the national parks. But now, Thailands forest covers only 20
30、percent of the land. This deforestation (采伐森林) is the central point of the elephants difficult situation, for it has effectively put the animals out of work. This century, as the road network grew, the elephants role as a beast of burden decreased.41. What can we know about African elephants from th
31、e passage?A. It is easy to domesticate them.B. It is hard to domesticate them.C. They are living a better life than Asian elephants.D. Their fate is quite similar to that of Asian elephants.42. Thailand was once called “Land of the White Elephant” because_.A. white elephant was a national symbol unt
32、il the 1920sB. white elephant is rarely seen and thus very specialC. white elephant has helped kings to gain the ruling authorityD. this name was so romantic that it was popular among visitors43. Why is the Thai elephant “out of work”, according to the author?A. Because there are too many elephants
33、but too few jobs.B. Because the elephants cant do labor work any longer.C. Because the government pays little attention to the problem.D. Because the elephants are no longer useful to their owners.44. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the elephant population at various times?A. There w
34、ere 100,000 domesticated elephants at the turn of the last century.B. 20,000 elephants were employed in transport in Thailand at the turn of the century.C. By 1950 the elephant population in Thailand has been quite small.D. Today the elephant population is estimated at 5,150.45. The passage is most
35、probably from_.A. a travel magazine B. a history bookC. a research report D. an official announcementBWhy buy a new car when you can improve the one you have with the latest technology? Here are two new methods that will not only make life behind wheel more comfortable but may also end up saving you
36、 money.WI-FI on WheelsIts not enough that children complain about having nothing to watch on television. These days, they even complain about having nothing to watch in the car. Fortunately, for every unsatisfied youth, there is a new technological solution: Wi-Fi Internet access for the back seat o
37、f your vehicle.In the United States, Chrysler is the first to offer such a system, which turns any Chrysler or Dodge into a Wi-Fi hotspot. Called UConnect, the $499 dealer-installed option is a high-speed cell-like Internet connection with a wireless router that sits in your cars trunk(行李箱). Monthly
38、 service costs $29 for Internet access, which is available to any device that has Wi-Fi and is within 100 feet of your car.With UConnect, passengers can check emails messages on a laptop, send instant messages to friends or watch YouTube videos online. It allows passengers to search for movie listin
39、gs on a smart phone or connect a Sony PSP video game player to the Web. It also offers the ability to freely upload photos from a Wi-Fi-equipped digital camera to an online sharing service like Flickr.For critics who claim that putting Wi-Fi Internet access in a car feeds the danger of driver distra
40、ction(分散注意力), parents may well disagree: Whats more distracting, the temptation to check email or a lot of children talking to you from the back seat?Watch Your BackBlind spots behind cars and SUVs make backing up dangerous as well as potentially deadly for children. Nationally, the group Kids and C
41、ars estimates that two children a week are killed by cars backing up. The Transportation Department is establishing visibility standards for future vehicles, but theres no need to wait.A back-view back system can be an expensive option in a new car. In the 2008 Subaru Tribeca, for example, the back-
42、view camera option is available only in connection with the inner navigation system, at a price of $2,400. And professionally equipped systems can cost $400 or more. However, there are now inexpensive back-view packages you can help yourself, such as the $130 Audiovox ACA250 Wireless Vehicle Rear Ob
43、servation System. It includes a camera that increases on a back license-plate holder and grasps onto a vehicles backup light. It can send a back-view image to a small L.C.D. Monitor that can be carried into electronic equipment and increased on the dashboard(仪表板).Audiovox claims the camera housing i
44、s not afraid of dust. In some areas where radio waves are plentiful, the image can be affected by occasional interference, but the picture, with its wide 110-degree camera point, is good enough to see things or children behind you.46.

Cks5uTo some, its a dream job-eating delicious meals for free and then writing about them. But for some food critics, their eyes arent the only thing that get
48、s wide with yet another feast.Karen Fernau, a food writer for The Arisona Republic, said when she first started her job she began to gain weight. “I always looked forward to lunch before this job, then all of a sudden lunch was all day every day.” she says. Nine years later, keeping her weight stead
49、y and her health intact (完好无损的)is a daily battle. If she knows she will be going to a tasting at a bakery or eating a four-course meal, she usually eats fruits or salads throughout the day. Now she is always keeping track of whats in the food she eats and she says most people dont even look at or co
50、nsider it. At one tasting task alone, she says, upward of 1,000 calories is often added to her day. Thats about half of the recommended total calories per day for the average adult.But even though shes thought of a special eating method, Fernau says sticking to it is a daily battle. And food editors
51、, writers and critics across the country couldnt agree more. “When Im at home or not eating for work, its healthy food to the extreme,” says Phil Vettel, whos been a restaurant critic for the Chicago Tribune for 19 years. Vettle, who eats dinner at four restaurants each week, says unlike most profes
52、sions, he has no right to choose. “If Im going out to eat, I cant choose the healthiest thing on the menu, I have to eat when theyre bringing me.” While Vettel exercises when he can, Joe Yonan, a food editor at The Washington Post, has strengthened his exercise habits since he started the job two ye
53、ars ago. Yonan says he realized early on that he was gaining weight and immediately hired a personal trainer to meet with three times a week, on top of his body training three to five times a week. Still, its a struggle that many Americans might envy. After all, its one thing to get your calories fr
54、om lobster(龙虾) tails or a delicate(精致的) chocolate cookie and quite another to get them from sodas and fast-food burgers.50. What does the underlined sentence mean in Para 1?A.

55、have to have one more feast.C. There is a wide variety of choices for the food critics to choose from.D. The food critics eat delicious food, which also tends to result in gaining weight.51. What can we learn about the job of being a food critic?A. They enjoy free and delicious dishes and make comme
56、nts on them.B. They only work for local magazines and newspapers.C. Once they become food critics, they tend to stay in the job.D. Their excellent sense of taste makes them qualified for the job.52. What is mentioned to be a method that food writers use to keep fit? A. Not eating anything except for
57、 the free meals. B. Writing down everything they put into their mouth. C. Hiring a personal trainer for special exercise instructions. D. Choosing only the healthy food on the menu.53. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. No matter whether the food is expensive or not, the gaining of calori
58、es is the same. B. The calories that lobster tails and chocolate cookies contain are less harmful. C. Americans envy those food critics since they enjoy delicate and tasty food. D. Everybody should take the calories in their food carefully.54. Whats the main idea of the passage? A. A job offering fr
59、ee meals may not be as desirable as it sounds to be. B. Dishes in the restaurant usually contain too many calories. C. Eating fruits and vegetables every day is the best way to lose weight. D. Food writers work hard to maintain their health and weight.DI first heard this story a few years ago from a
60、 girl. Probably the story is one of those mysterious bits of folklore that reappear every few years. However, I still like to think that it really did happen, somewhere, sometime. They were going to Fort Lauderdale - three boys and three girls - and when they boarded the bus, they were carrying sand
61、wiches and wine, dreaming of golden beaches and sea tides as the gray, cold spring of New York vanished behind them. As the bus passed through New Jersey, they began to notice Vingo. He sat in front of them, dressed in a plain, ill-fitting suit, never moving, his dusty face masking his age. He kept
62、chewing the inside of his lip a lot, frozen into complete silence. Deep into the night, the bus pulled into Howard Johnsons, and everybody got off except Vingo. He sat rooted in his seat, and the young people began to wonder about him: perhaps he was a sea captain, a runaway from his wife, an old so
63、ldier going home. When they went back to the bus, one of the girls sat beside him and introduced herself. “Were going to Florida,” she said brightly. “I hear its really beautiful.” “It is,” he said quietly, as if remembering something he had tried to forget. “Want some wine?” she said. He thanked he
64、r and retreated again into his silence. After a while, she went back to the others, and Vingo nodded in sleep. In the morning, they awoke outside another Howard Johnsons, and this time Vingo went in. The girl insisted that he join them. He seemed very shy, and ordered black coffee and smoked nervous
65、ly as the young people chattered about sleeping on beaches. When they returned to the bus, the girl sat with Vingo again, and after a while, slowly and painfully, he began to tell his story. He had been in jail in New York for the past four years, and now he was going home. “Are you married?” “I don
66、t know.” “You dont know?” she said. “Well, when I was in jail I wrote to my wife,” he said. “I told her that I was going to be away a long time, and that if she couldnt stand it, if the kids kept asking questions, she could just forget me. Id understand. Get a new guy, I said shes a wonderful woman
67、- and forget about me. I told her she didnt have to write me. And she didnt. Not for three and a half years.” “And youre going home now, not knowing?” “Yeah,” he said shyly. “Last week, when I was sure the parole was coming through, I wrote her again. Theres a big oak tree just as you come into town
68、, I told her that if she didnt have a new guy and if shed take me back, she should put a yellow handkerchief on the tree, and Id get off and come home. If she didnt want me, forget it - no handkerchief, and Id go on through.” “Wow,” the girl exclaimed. “Wow.” She told the others, and soon all of the
69、m were in it, caught up in the approach of Brunswick, looking at the pictures Vingo showed them of his wife and three children. Now they were 20 miles from Brunswick, and the young people took over window seats, waiting for the approach of the great oak tree. Vingo stopped looking, tightening his fa
70、ce, as if fortifying himself against still another disappointment. Then Brunswick was 10 miles, and then five. Then, suddenly, all of the young people were up out of their seats, screaming and shouting and crying. All except Vingo. Vingo sat there stunned, looking at the oak tree. It was covered wit
71、h yellow handkerchiefs - 20 of them, 30 of them, maybe hundreds. As the young people shouted, the old con slowly rose from his seat and made his way to the front of the bus to go home.55. According to the passage, which statement is TRUE? A. The young people are travelling from Florida to New York.
72、B. Vingo was put in prison ten years ago, and now he was set free to go home. C. The young people around Vingo were quite curious about his silence. D. At last, Vingo went home together with the three boys and three girls.56. From the underlined sentences in Para 3, we can infer that _. A. Vingo was
73、 nervous because he didnt know whether his wife would accept him. B. Vingo was very disappointed because his wife didnt answer his letter. C. Vingo was very shy because he knew someone was watching him. D. Vingo was excited because he could go home and meet his wife and children.57. The underlined w

Modern social conditions may lead to stress.61. _Even relatively mild stress can lead to long term disability and an inability to work, reveals a large population based study published online in the Journal of Epidemiology (流行病学) and Community Health. It is well
79、known that mental health problems are associated with long term disability, but the impact of milder forms of psychological stress is likely to have been underestimated (低估), say the authors.62. _Between 2002 and 2007, the authors tracked the health of more than 17,000 working adults up to the age o
80、f 64, who had been randomly selected from the population in the Stockholm area. All participants completed a validated (经验证的) questionnaire at the start of the study to measure their mental health and stress levels, as well as other aspects of health and wellbeing.63. _During the monitoring period,
81、649 people started receiving disability benefit- 203 for a mental health problem and the remainder for physical ill health. Higher levels of stress at the start of the study were associated with a significantly greater likelihood of subsequently being awarded long term disability benefits. But even
82、those with mild stress were up to 70% more likely to receive disability benefits, after taking account of other factors likely to influence the results, such as lifestyle and alcohol intake. One in four of these benefits awarded for a physical illness, such as high blood pressure, angina(心绞痛), and s
83、troke(中风), and almost two thirds awarded for a mental illness, were likely to have been caused by stress.64. _The authors say that it is important to consider their findings in the context of modern working life, which places greater demands on employees, and social factors, such as fewer close pers
84、onal relationships and supportive networks.65. _These factors lead them to ask, “Are the strains and demands of modern society commonly exceeding(超出) human ability?” And they conclude that while mild stress should not be overmedicalised, their findings suggest that it should be taken more seriously
