54、 the novella (短篇故事）A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens has been loved by millions of people, and perhaps has inspired them to love more and give more.

57、n his own parents.He wondered how he could be so easily thrown away at such a young ageDickens father was set free from prison after a year,and Dickens was put back into school for three years until he had to leave again to work as an office boy.

58、.With money coming in and then children,Charles had taken a mortgage(抵押贷款）on a big house.His next novel was not as well received and his future payments were cut.

60、doors of the hearts of many who do not want to love and give. He happened to find the idea of a Christmas story that could show this-and warm the hearts of the poor and open the hearts of the selfish. He needed to write fast and that is probably why we only have a novella, but a novella was enough t
61、o share his story. He filled the story with character and scenes which he had already written about in his other stories, Scrooge, the main character,is aselfish self-centred man who hates Christmas the tine of giving . His late business partner, also a greedy man, comes back from the dead as a ghos
62、t to warn Scrooge.You will need to read the story yourself to see how Scrooge finally changes his ways.The plan to rescue himself financially also rescued Dickens emotionally. As he wrote about Christmas and the wonderful time of gift giving,family gathering,carol singing and feast sharing, his own
63、heart was cheered and he remembered those things that really mattered to him He loved writing the book and produced a special story,which is still loved around the world.

One reason is that drugs which work on lab animals may not work quite so well in human tests. Being able to pick winners and losers as early as possible w
74、ould save money, and the One Health Company thinks it may have found a way. It is offering to help medical groups test their cancer drugs on sick pets. There are several benefits. By treating animals with existing cancers, it hopes to avoid a problem with modern animal research, which is that the “m
75、odel” animals and diseases that are used to test drugs are not always good stand-ins (替身) for the natural illness. For example, mice used to test cancer drugs may have had their tumours (肿瘤) placed into their bodies, or their immune systems weakened with drugs.Another plus is that pet owners tend to
76、 be great caretakers who are very knowledgeable about their four-legged friends and are likely to report even small changes in behaviors. Lab animals are checked far less often. Perhaps the most useful aspect of using pets for drug experiments, however, is that there is no law on animals medical rec
77、ords. One Health has been able to get 98% of records on animals from hospitalsa number that is impossible for humans. That allows the company to find the right animals for a drug experiment.Based on the benefits above, the company hopes that pets will prove useful in other diseases in addition to ca
78、ncers. Horses, for example, seem to be good stand-ins for humans when it comes to arthritis (关节炎). Cats, meanwhile, may prove instructive in breast cancer research. 24. What do the underlined words “cut the mustard” in Paragraph1 probably mean? A. Meet the requirements. B. Reduce the pain. C. Affect
79、 the test results. D. Tell the differences.25. Which of the following is NOT a benefit of One Healths idea? A. It makes sure the animals with natural diseases are used. B. It makes sure the model animals are checked regularly. C. It makes sure most animals medical records are available. D. It makes

How to save the drug business. D. How to treat some pet diseases.27. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage
81、?A. B. C. D.CDear Mary,Im a young professional working for a company. Ive been in the same workplace for a couple of years, and there are many things I love about it.A few months ago, however, I got a new boss. He never gave me positive feedback, but leaned over my shoulder and disliked everything I
82、 did. When I tried talking to him about my concerns, he suggested I give up.The stress being too much to bear, I moved to another job in the same company. While the pay was lower, it would allow me to take some classes to improve myself.Heres the problem. At the beginning, I agreed to help with smal
83、l tasks from my old department while it searched for my replacement(接替者). But it seems that my old boss isnt actively searching. I am still under as much stress as I was working for him full time, but now Im getting less pay.How do I deal with this situation without jeopardizing my new position, whi
84、ch fits my education schedule so well? RoseDear Rose,You have probably realized that it was a mistake to make such an open-ended offer.

86、st you can in your new role. Your new boss needs to know that this is happeningand, frankly, should immediately step in to handle the matter without further discussion.Second, you should say no if necessary. The next time your old boss asks you to do something, tell him that while you are happy to h
87、elp him, you must give your new job your full attention. Remember youre not complaining, or starting a fight; you simply have the companys best interests in mind.

They asked me where I wanted to go and there was only one place I had in mind.Ireland. Wouldnt you want t
91、o go back home? Yes of course but I wanted to visit a person that I hadnt seen for a long time. This person was an extremely close friend. That didnt even begin to describe the relationship I had with her. She had her heart set on going out of the country for college and I supported her 100%. When I
92、 told her I wanted to join the army, she wasnt exactly excited, but when I explained that school wasnt for me and I wanted to see the world while also being in the service, she understood.

Cry didnt fully grasp the idea of what happened, but there was definitely lots of crying. When I finally g
94、ot there, I took one look back and saw that big shining smile of hers, shedding my last tear. That was the last time but now I was on a plane to meet her, in an airport, in Ireland. I knew nothing about the place except that it was green. I was still dressed in my fatigues (军服)as required. The proba
95、bly native Irish people gave me a thank-you nod. Even though I didnt wear their flag, they knew I was keeping them safe. As I got off the plane, I couldnt help asking myself. What if she didnt recognize me? What if she wasnt here? What if what if what if? Thats all I could tell myself on the way to
96、get my bag. When I had my bag I started to walk towards the stairs. I stopped at the top and asked myself the last time, what if? Then I went down the stairs, looking around, nervous, but also scared. Then I saw itthat big shining smile that left me years ago, and it was staring right back at me.32.

I managed to get the board off from my.feet and moved it under my stomach so İ was l
107、ying on it. I faced down the mountain and used the board to slowly slide my body down the tree-lined slope(斜坡）。It took about two hours before a skier found me.

119、ments(人行道）。Yet they often go unprotected even when they may be older than neighbouring historic buildings that have enjoyed protection for tens of years.There are many reasons to protect historic pavements - culture value, economics, environmental benefits and public safety. Pavements represented an
120、 important step in the modernization of city environments in the 19th century.Before the laying of pavement, streets of dirt caused many problems to citizens,especially in wet weather when they became muddy(泥泞的），which limited the movement of people and vehicles.To solve the problem,cities experiment
121、ed with a wide range of materials in an attempt to balance durability(耐用性），economics,sources of materials and noise considerations.The earliest pavement in many cities were cobblestones-naturally rounded stones.They were cheap and durable, but rough and noisy. Loose stone pavements were cheap and sm
122、ooth, but not very durable. Wood also appeared in the 1850s as a popular option-smooth,quiet and affordable,but not very durable.In many cities and towns,brick(砖）streets are the only historic pavements that have survived.This fact covers up the truth of pavement experimentation between the 1850s and
123、 1920s, when a city could use up to a dozen different paving materials at the same time! Indeed, each city developed a unique pavement identity” in the materials chosen and the way they were laid.It is easy to think of the past when seeing historic pavements, as recalling “old world” city qualities.
124、 However, they are more similar to the early high buildings and parks-important city features that showed the modernization of the city. At a time when cities are becoming increasingly.similar, such pavements also help define an important sense of place.32. What is the present situation of historic
125、pavements?A. Failing to represent modem environments.B.Failing to receive protection they should get.C.Being brought back to its former glory.p.Being highly valued as cultural buildings.33. Why was the first pavement built in history?A.To help develop the local economy.B.To prevent earth from being
126、washed away.C.To limit the movement of people and vehicles.D.To bring convenience to citizens life.34. What is mainly talked about in Paragraphs 4-6?A. Popularity of different paving materials.B.Different experiments on city identity.C.Advantages and disadvantages of stone pavements.D.Development of
127、 pavements of different materials.35. What does the writer want to express about historic pavements in the last paragraph?A. They are similar to tall buildings.B. They make cities appear similar.C. They are unique of a particular place.D.They represent the modernization of todays city.21-23 DDA 24-2

It is during this time they watch how other children and adults reason. If were not careful, the children wi
150、ll watch us model a world of NOs。By the time a person turns eighteen, how many times have they been told no? I havent found any studies that even attempted to track this statistic, but Im sure if the number is 20,000 by three, then at eighteen that number has multiplied. You can do the math.Anyway,
151、I think I know why we say no. We say no to protect. We say no to direct. We say no to stop potential confusion. However, do we sometimes say no just for the sake of saying no? Do we say no because we have internalized(内在化)all of the NOs weve heard over the years and we feel it is finally our time to
152、 say no to someone else?The internalized no can damage the growth process of dreams in infancy as quickly as it can weaken a three-year-old.

157、 it can weaken a three-year-old. And we wonder why we run into people with big, un-accomplished dreams who have a bit of a chip on their shoulder.(内化的“不”会破坏婴儿时期梦想过程的成长，就像它会削弱三岁小孩那样快。我们也想知道我们为什么会遇到那些有着远大而未实现的梦想的催毛求疵的人。)可知，不断对孩子说“不”，会让孩子的梦想破坏，导致他们最终有很多没有完成的梦想。B. They arent easy to succeed.(他们不会轻易成功。)符
158、合以上说法，故选B项。【30题详解】推理判断题。根据文章的主要内容，尤其最后一段的However, the thing that keeps them going is the possibility of the power of ONE YES!

(不赞成的)符合以上推测，故选B项。【31题详解】推理判断题。全文以作者观点为导向表达了作者对说“不”的看法，由此可见是一篇表明个人意见的论文。C. An opinion essay.(一篇观点文章)符合以上推测，故选C项。DIm Jeff Logan, president of Logan L
