18、 dark winter day so long ago, I was filled with excitement of having the weekend off. But I was36 into stillness by what I saw. Mother, seated at the far table end of the sofa, 37 , with the second-hand green typewriter on the table. She told me that she couldnt type fast and then she was out of wor
19、k. My shock and embarrassment（尴尬）at finding Mother in tears was a perfect proof of how 38 I understood the pressure on her. Sitting beside her on the sofa, I began very 39 to understand. “I guess we all have to 40 something,” Mother said quietly. I could 41 her pain and the tension（压力）of 42 the stro

I held her 45 and didnt try to talk. I knew I was doing what I should, what I could, 46 was enough. I sat for a m
21、oment, feeling Mothers back with feelings, I understood for the first time her being easy to 47 . She was still my mother, 48 she was something 49 : a person like me, capable of fear and 50 and failure. I could feel her pain as she must have felt mine on a thousand occasions 51 I sought 52 in her ar

But the evening practice on the green typewriter continued. I had a very 54 feeling now when I passed her door at night and heard her 55 away across the paper.

26、ing e-mails ,according to a new research.“There are pretty good odds（可能性）at being able to guess the gender of someone just by reading their e-mails,” said David Silver ,a professor at the University of Washington.“Many studies have found that men using e-mail tend to supply answers or give a respons
27、e that shuts down the dialogue. Women are more prepared to open up the discussion. They are also more prepared in a chat room to say “I dont know. What does everyone else think ?”Male messages tend to be basic-confirming someone is right, telling them they are wrong of offering solutions to problem.
28、 Women tend to keep conversations going and ask more questions. They arent afraid to admit ignorance, or that they are wrong.A study by Dr. Susan Herring, a linguistic expert at Indiana University, has also shown that men tend to express strong opinions, disagree with others and use bad languages .B
29、y contrast, women tend to use diplomatic language along with questions, offers, suggestions and polite expressions.Silver said that a huge change had occurred in global Internet use in the past few years as women find their place in a medium previously dominated by men.“Many women in the mid-90s wer
30、e put off the Internet by slang”. Silver said.They would also go into that chat room and get insulted very often .The old Internet chat rooms were racist and often very sexist. There was a lot of abuse of women online .So women simply started their own chat rooms. In one chat room for academics it w
31、as noticed that female undergraduates, graduates and faculty members all treated each other equally and happy to share booklist with colleagues.The news comes at the gender balance in Internet use shifts towards women.In the UK and the United States women account for 40 percent of those online at pr
32、esent and this is expected to rise to 60 percent by 2006. Experts predict that 68 percent of those who come online next year will be women . 56This passage mainly tell us .Adifferences between women and men online Bsomething about the womens attitude online Csomething about the mens behavior online
33、Dthe population of men online is decreasing57The word “gender” in the second paragraph probably means .Atemper BagesCsexDpopulation58What does the writer mean by telling us the data in the last paragraph?A. More women tend to go on line than men. B. Fewer men tend to go on line. C. Most women dont l
34、ike going to the chat room. D. Only 32% of men will go on line next year. 59. If the person who uses the Internet tends to call others names, it must be .Aa womanBa man Ca bad person Da leaderBOne would have to be a fool to overlook(fail to notice) the importance of using positive thinking for you r
35、ather than allowing negative thinking to work against you. In recent years, research in psychopharmacology has proved what many people have known over the centuries: a positive attitude is good for you, good for your health, good for your wealth, good for everything. Researchers found that a positiv
36、e attitude produces a specific chemical reaction which makes people feel better, while negative thinking results in a decline of hormone and shuts down the immune system. This leads to illness and depression. Positive thoughts will make you feel better. Even if you must begin by literally forcing yo
37、urself to be positive (faking it, so to speak), it will become contagious and the positive thoughts will generate nice little chemicals and good feelings that will reinforce the positive thoughts.For example, if you force yourself to smile or laugh, even when you dont feel like smiling or laughing,
38、if you keep at it for a few minutes, you will soon feel like it. Feelings can generate thoughts, but thoughts can also generate feelings. Control your thoughts and you can control your feelings. Positive thinking is important in all aspects of our lives. There is probably no single factor more impor
39、tant in determining your success in achieving your career objectives than your own attitude.Its often been said that in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. And in the office of militant (好战) negativism, the positive workers shine like gold. You cannot control external events, but you ca
40、n learn to control your reaction to those events and thereby have a positive attitude and be happy. This vital key to success is totally within your control. Use it.60. We can infer from the passage that .A. positive thinking can cure you of your diseasesB. positive thinking can easily be generated
41、by anyoneC. a decline of hormone may cause you to be depressedD. a specific chemical reaction is the cause of negative thinking61. According to the passage, which of the following is true?A. Feeling and thoughts can generate each other.B. Its easier to control thoughts than to control feelings.C. Yo
42、ur success depends wholly on your attitude.D. Keeping smiling will surely make you successful.62. Just like a one-eyed man in the land of the blind, you should .A. take positive attitude in the office of militant negativismB. learn to control external events C. pay no attention to what is going on a
43、round youD. control your feeling to what is happening to you63. The best title to the passage is .A. Thinking benefits people in many ways B. Why Should People ThinkC. The vital key to success D. Thinking: The Vital Way CSOUTHPORT, ENGLANDA British teaching union famous for strange ideas has support
44、ed proposal to employ dogs as classroom assistants.At the annual conference of the Professional Association of teachers in Southport, northwest of England, one person suggested properly trained dogs be able to keep order in primary schools. They can round up lost children and protect those who exper
45、ience unfortunate “accidents”. Wendy Dyble, a Sheetland Islands woman who teaches children up to age seven, made it clear to her fellow friends that she was not “barking mad”. They obviously believed her, supporting her idea by 16 votes to 13, with a total of 63 abstentions.She said big dogs could h
46、elp round up children, keep them in line, lick up the milk they spill on the floor and provide the extra eyes that a teacher needs to keep order. “A big dog would also be helpful for breaking up fights and look for lost property, like gym shoes or dolls, ” Dyble said at the conference. “The dog will
47、 also be useful in sniffing out smells that children do not own up to,” she added. “It would be nice for the teacher not to have to go round sniffing each child to find the culprit.”The idea was greeted by the Dog Defense League but less so by bigger teaching unions. A spokesman for Education Secret
48、ary David Blunkett, who is blind, said his guide dog was always popular with pupils when he visited schools. The Professional Association of Teachers, with around 35,000 members, is the smallest teaching union in Britain. It has an honour for occasional strange ideas.Earlier this week, its annual co
49、nference here suggested stopping exams because they lead to stress and introducing selection at the age of 12 based on physical coordination and manual skill in the use of hand.64. According to the writers opinion, to employ dogs as classroom assistants .A. is a wonderful ideaB. can improve the rela
50、tion between children and animalsC. is beyond ordinary peoples mindsD. can make some teachers lose jobs65. What Dyble said at the conference .A. gained some support from the membersB. frightened everyone at the conferenceC. interested everyone at the conferenceD. caused some trouble to trained dogs6
51、6. A spokesman for Education Secretary .A. once used a dog as classroom assistantB. sang high praise for Dybles ideaC. would employ dogs as teachersD. benefited from dogs more than others67. The last paragraph of this passage .A. has nothing to do with the topic of this passageB. shows there are too
52、 many exams in British schoolC. provides further facts about the teaching unionD. shows the writers anger to the union DThe common cold is the worlds most widespread illness, which is plagues (瘟疫) that flesh receives.The most widespread fallacy of all is that colds are caused by cold. They are not.
53、They are caused by viruses passing on from person to person. You catch a cold by coming into contact, directly or indirectly, with someone who already has one. If cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever. But they do not. And in isolated arctic regi
54、ons explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes.During the First World War soldiers who spent long periods in the trenches (战壕) cold and wet, showed no increased tendency
55、to catch colds.In the Second World War prisoners at the notorious Auschwitz concentration camp (奥斯维辛集中营), naked and starving, were astonished to find that they seldom had colds.At the Common Cold Research Unit in England, volunteers took part in Experiments in which they gave themselves to the disco
56、mforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time. After taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be dipped with cold water, and then stood about dripping wet in drafty room. Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion. Not
57、 one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose.If, then, cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in the winter? Despite the most pains- research, no one has yet found the answer. One explanation offered by sci
58、entists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on. No one has yet found a cure for the cold. There are drugs and pain suppressors such as aspirin, but all they do is relieve the symptoms .68. The w
59、riter offered examples to support his argument.A. 4 B. 5 C. 6 D. 369. Arctic explorers may catch colds when .A. they are working in the isolated arctic regionsB. they are writing reports in terribly cold weatherC. they are free from work in the isolated arctic regionsD. they are coming into touch wi
60、th the outside world70. Volunteers taking part in the experiments in the Common Cold Research Unit .A. suffered a lot B. take hot baths frequently C. often caught coldsD. became very strong71. The passage mainly discusses .A. the experiments on the common coldB. the fallacy about the common coldC. t
61、he reason and the way people catch coldsD. the continued spread of common colds“ I THIRST”Each day water-related diseases kill 3,900 of the worlds children.Across the world, 1.1billion people have no access to clean drinking water. More than 2 .6 billion people lack basic sanitation.The combination
62、proves deadly. Each year, diseases related to inadequate water and sanitation kill between 2 and 5 million people and cause an estimated 80 percent of all sicknesses in the developing world. Safe drinking water is a precondition for health and the fight against child death rate, inequality between m
63、en and women, and poverty. l EConsider these facts:l The average distance that women in Africa and Asia walk to collect water is 6 kilometers.l Only 58 percent of children in sub-Saharan Africa are drinking safe water, and only 37 percent of children in South Asia have access to even a basic toilet.
64、l Each year in India alone, 73 million working days are lost to water-borne diseases.Here are three ways you can help:1) Write CongressCurrent U.S. foreign aid for drinking water and sanitation budgets only one dollar per year per American citizen. Few members of Congress have ever received a letter
65、 from voters about clean drinking water abroad.2) Sponsor a project with a faith-based organizationMany U.S. religious groups already sponsor water and sanitation projects, working with partner by a U.S. organization can make safe water a reality for thousands of people.3) Support nonprofit water or
66、ganizationsNumerous U.S.-based nonprofits work skillfully abroad in community-led projects related to drinking water and sanitation. Like the sample of non-profits noted as follows, some organizations are large, others small-scale; some operate worldwide, others are devoted to certain areas in Afric
67、a, Asia, or Latin America. Support them generously.72.The three facts presented in the passage are used to illustrate that .A. poverty can result in water-borne diseasesB. people have no access to clean drinking water C. womens rights are denied in some developing countriesD. safe drinking water sho
68、uld be a primary concern73. The intended readers of the passage are .A. Americans B. overseas sponsors C. Congressmen D. U.S.-based water organizations74. The main purpose of the passage is to call on people to .A. get rid of water-related diseases in developing countriesB. donate money to people sh
69、ort of water through religious groups C. fight against the worldwide water shortage and sanitation problemD. take joint action in support of some nonprofit water organizations75. What information will probably be provided following the last paragraph?A. A variety of companies and their worldwide ope
70、ration.B. A list of nonprofit water organizations to make contact with.C. Some ways to get financial aids from U.S. Congress.D. A few water resources exploited by some world-famous organizations. 第二节 Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph
71、. There is one extra heading that you do not need. A. Goods for auction salesB. Definition of biddingC. Way to sell more goods by auctionD. Auction sales in historyE. Brief introduction to auctionsF. Making a larger profit as an auctioneer76. Auctions are public sales of goods, conducted by an offic
72、ially approved auctioneer. He asks the crowd assembled in the auction-room to make offers, or “bids”, for the various items on sale. He encourages buyers to bid higher figures, and finally names the highest bidder as the buyer of the goods. This is called “knocking down” the goods, for the bidding e
73、nds when the auctioneer strikes a small hammer on a table at which he stands.77. The ancient Roman probably invented sales by auction, and the English word comes from the Latin auctio, meaning “increase”. The Romans usually sold in this way the goods taken in war. In England in the eighteenth and ni
74、neteenth centuries, goods were often sold “by the candle”: a short candle was lit by the auctioneer, and bids could be made while it stayed alight. 78. Practically all goods whose qualities vary are sold by auction. Among these are coffee, skins, wool, tea, furs, silk and wines. Auction sales are al
75、so usual for land and property, furniture, pictures, rare books, old china and similar works of art.79. An auction is usually advertised beforehand with full particulars of the articles to be sold and where and when they can be viewed by potential buyers. If the advertisement cannot give full detail
76、s, catalogues are printed, and each group of goods to be sold together, called a “lot”, is usually given a number. The auctioneer need not begin with Lot 1 and continue in the order of numbers; he may wait until he notices the fact that certain buyers are in the room and then produce the lots they a
77、re likely to be interested in.80. The auctioneers services are paid for in the form of a percentage of the price the goods are sold for. The auctioneer therefore has a direct interest in pushing up the bidding as high as possible. He will not waste time by starting the bidding too low. He will also
78、play on the opponents among his buyers and succeed in getting a high price by encouraging two business competitors to bid against each other.第II卷第四部分 写作第一节， 词汇。根据首字母或中文提示填上合适的词。10% 81.
