I choose this experience because it was something
19、that I had never done before and I wanted to lend a helping handWhen I first came up with the idea of volunteering at a nursing home, I wanted to help out with activities and meet with some of the residents （住客）. At first it was challenging because I was extremely shy; however after getting to know
20、the residents a little better, I started to feel more comfortable around them. My goal in volunteering was to bring a smile to the residents by doing different activities from word games to playing chess. I feel as if I had accomplished that goal. At the nursing home, I did a lot of different activi
21、ties with the residents ranging from Jeopardy, to Wheel of Fortune. One of my favorites was a word game where I would write a ten letter word on the board and the residents would try to come up with as many smaller words as possible. I could tell that it was one of their favorite games because they
22、always seemed to be so enthusiastic when they playedI also transported residents to and from their rooms when they needed help; and whenever it was a nice day out, I would take them outside to get some fresh air and relax. On Saturday mornings, I would deliver the newspaper to the residents and on S
23、undays, I assisted with morning church services.The most unforgettable part of this experience was when I had one on one conversations with the residents; it was incredible how many great stories they had to tell. One of the first residents was Mr. Charles Bowman who is one hundred and three years o

26、blemDshare an experienceBMore and more pupils are giving teachers presents, but the practice only creates insecurity in parents and staff.Ive certainly noticed some pupils being feverishly overgenerous of late. Last year, I received not one bottle of wine but four for helping a disaffected pupil thr
27、ough his GCSEs. By and large, my colleagues report the gifts differing along gender lines. Gentlemen get ties, mugs, booze and, if theyre really lucky, tickets to football matches. The ladies are often presented with flowers, jewels, chocolates and so on.When my son was at private school, I noticed
28、there was a real competitiveness between the students about giving presents to teachers, with expensive baskets from fancy stores and huge bouquets being handed out on the last days of term. Since my wife and I only let my son give thank-you cards, it was clear we were not “classy”. Now he is at an
29、inner-city primary, weve noticed that this kind of nonsense seems to have more or less disappearedFor one thing, there isnt that kind of money floating around but there isnt that kind of competitive culture either.Personally, I think gifts to teachers should be banned beyond the thank-you card: they
30、 cause many more problems than they solve, creating insecurity in both parents and staff. Perhaps the recession and the lack of money in peoples pockets might be a good excuse for the government to issue some guidelines to schools that gifts shouldnt be accepted by teachers.The gifts that I really v
31、alue are the cards which say a genuine thank you. I still keep them in a file at home.40What can the author most probably be?AA teacher.BA school nurse.CA researcher. DA gift shop owner.41The underlined word “nonsense” in Paragraph 3 refers to the fact that _.Athe son only gives thank-you cards to t

34、nd, the air temperature in cities can be up to ten degrees higher than that of the surrounding countryside. This is a phenomenon commonly referred to as the “urban heat island” effect.This phenomenon happens when pavement, buildings, and other infrastructure （基础设施） replace natural land cover. Large
35、amounts of paved and dark colored surfacessuch as roofs, roads, and parking lotsabsorb, rather than reflect, the suns heat, causing surface temperatures and overall ambient （周围的） air temperature to rise. Unlike soil, paved areas contribute to runoff, which means that as paved areas increase, the amo
36、unt of water available for evaporation （蒸发） decreases. Moreover, urban areas have fewer trees and less natural vegetation which help to control the heat by providing shade and blocking solar radiation. The surfaces of leaves also provide water for evaporation which cools the air, further worsening t
37、he heat island effect.In particular, during summer, more energy is required to cool the insides of building and for refrigeration, thereby creating additional heat output. This in turn leads to higher ambient air temperatures, which can also significantly increase the formation of urban smog in an a
38、rea, degrading local air quality. Such a situation may directly affect public health with individuals more likely to suffer from heat exhaustion and the effects of asthma （哮喘）.44The underlined part in Paragraph 2 means _.ADue to dark colored roads, urban areas are becoming hotter each yearBDark colo
39、red surfaces reflect the suns heat, causing air temperatures to riseCBecause urban surfaces absorb heat, air and surface temperatures increaseDRising ambient air temperatures lead to urban surfaces absorbing more heat45Which of the following is not a cause of the urban heat island effect?AThe lack o
40、f treesBThe demand for refrigerationCThe blocking of solar radiationDThe construction of infrastructure.46The underlined word “degrading” most probably means _.AignoringBimprovingChighlightingDworsening47The passage is mainly developed by _.Agiving typical examplesBfollowing the time orderCpresentin

42、ar make you more likely to die on the road?Engineers and statistical analysts can point to data that suggest more-efficient cars dont necessarily put motorists at greater overall risk. But most of us care less about the “overall” risk than we do about ourselves. Driving a big Chevrolet Tahoe SUV mak
43、es many of us believe we are safer than we would be in a smaller car even if statistical measures across a large population of vehicles and all kinds of car accidents suggest the advantage of safety isnt quite as wide as SUV owners believe.The Obama government has put the fuel-efficiency and safety
44、question back on the front burner by calling for new-vehicle fuel economy to rise to an average of 35 miles per gallon （加仑） by 2020 from about 25 mpg today. That goal could move higher if the government decides to adopt Californias requirement to cut vehicle greenhouse-gas giving off, which would re
45、sult in stricter mileage standards.Those moves, and the effects of last summers gas-price shock, are driving auto makers to offer cars such as the Toyota Yaris, Honda Fit and Daimler AGs Smart For Two which get the kind of mileage today that law says should be the average in a decade. Beyond that, a
46、uto makers will launch a wide range of new compact （紧凑的） vehicles, and decrease production of large, body-on-frame SUVs.Thats leading to new concerns about “green safety”, a term for managing the balance between reducing vehicle size for efficiency and adding safety and protection features that tend
47、 to make vehicles heavier and less efficient. Undoubtedly, further work has to be done before Americans make the choice.48The U.S. government requires to improve the fuel efficiency in order to _.Apush Americans to drive smaller carsBreduce the output of greenhouse gasesCdrive auto makers to produce
48、 fewer SUVsDcause Americans to make an argument49According to Paragraph 2, engineers and analysts idea _. Afails to relieve people of their worry about safetyBpersuades people to purchase smaller cars instead of SUVsCis based on research and therefore persuasive enough Dmakes people think of their s

51、storical Fact!” But Marwick thinks this sort of opinion is just fine; it is unavoidable that we all feel a sense of ownership of history.History never stands still, as Marwick says at the beginning of The Nature of History, “The shape and content of history, too, vary according to the methods and ma
52、terials available to different generations.” Marwicks goal is to explain, in plain language, the changes in the way history is done up to the present; one method is to connect history with advances in the physical sciences. Marwick examines a number of case studies toward the end of the book. He end
53、s the book with a refreshing collection of aphorisms （格言） about history. History truly belongs to each and every man and we all belong to history; with the proper education, history can be made more accessible to everyone.Marwick relates how inventions and the physical sciences have driven historica

But historians obviously do not have the luxury of reproducing such conditions; historians view the past through the present which depends on inve

Although Marwick suspects some people would accuse a historian of creating job security with the endless views of the past, he insists it is imperative based on the philosophy, science, and new mate
56、rials of the age. History, according to Marwick, must be for everyone and not remain locked behind the walls of academia.52The author mentions the bumper sticker in order to _.Ashow his own opinion about historyBintroduce the readers to MarwickCexplain the freedom of understanding historyDmake the r

64、 usually go to camps to take military training, which lasts about two weeks. We have to practice some simple military movements. In addition, we are taught to sing songs which are very encouraging. What impresses me most is the long march, which sometimes covers as far as ten kilometers. Military training is meant to teach us how to cooperate and act as a whole. Meanwhile, good qualities such as selflessness, dedication and perseverance can be cultivated and fear conqueredIn short, military training leaves me a deep impression and influences me profoundly, which is far beyond my imagination.
