11、of laughter from one listener might be met with a puzzled look from another.In general, you should avoid jokes at any business or social gathering where there are more than two people in your conversational group. If there are only two people and they consist of you and your best friendgo ahead and
12、tell it. Admittedly, a few people possess a perfect sense of timing, appropriateness, and joke delivery. You are probably not one of them. You might be quite funny and have many great jokes. But theres a place for jokesover dinner with family, hiking with friends, but business or social affairs with
13、 colleagues and acquaintances (熟人) are not it. It takes a whole other level of joke-telling ability to put a joke into the more formal conversations. The best jokes come into the conversation so that by the time listeners realize a joke is in progress, the punchline that produces humour is being del
14、ivered to their surprise and delight. Jokes dont translate well when youre in a group with mixed backgrounds: those whose first language is not English, those who might not understand a special term or an in expression, young people who wouldnt catch a reference to some bit of culture familiar to ol
15、der people and vice versa(反之亦然). Never joke about another person in the groupabout their name, habits, hometown, profession, appearance, or past. Its not a question of whether the joke is cheery or appropriate. No one enjoys being singled out this way. When you are the subject of the joke, the laugh
16、ter doesnt feel good no matter how hard you try to tell yourself theyre not laughing at you. Because thats what it feels like. What do you say if you realize your joke upset someone? Apologize as briefly and as sincerely as you can, and hope that someone changes the subject. Try saying: Im sorry. I
17、should have known better or Im sorry. I wasnt thinking. What do you do if people dont get your joke or dont appear to find it as funny as you do? First, do not retell it, only louder this time, hoping the point of the joke will be seen. Second, dont try to push people to get it. People do not like p
18、eople whose jokes they dont understand. They feel stupid and need to blame someone. If you want to leave with the goodwill of your listeners, say something to make them feel less foolish. You could say: I dont know why I tell jokes when Im so poor at it. The world needs laughter, and good humour is
19、a success wherever it goes, so this caveat(告诫) about joke-telling is not meant to dampen high spirits or to advocate dull conversation. If youre a gifted story-teller and you know people love your jokes, go for it. We need your kind. The rest of us will save our jokes for family and close friends.41
20、. According to the passage, it might be appropriate for you to tell a joke at a business or social gathering if _. A. the joke is well chosen B. you have complete confidence in your listeners sense of humor C. only you and your best friend are involved in the conversation D. the audience consists of
21、 your colleagues and acquaintances 42. Why do some jokes fail to work? A. Because the punchline is too long to catch. B. Because the joke-teller uses wrong words and expressions. C. Because the joke-teller and listeners dont share the same background knowledge. D. Because the jokes are not properly
22、translated into the listeners native language.43. How will people feel when they are joked about? A. They will feel happy if the joke is a pleasant one. B. They will be upset no matter what kind of joke it is. C. They will enjoy the joke when realizing that people are not laughing at them. D. They w
23、ill panic because it makes them the center of attention.44. When people do not understand a joke they hear, they tend to _.

Jokes should be told only to friends and family members.B Below are some smart ways to stay healthy suggested by some American experts.
25、Drink More Coffee When was the last time you heard a doctor use the word miracle? Well, wake up and smell the coffee: Its amazing, says liver specialist Sanjiv Chopra, MD, professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. Coffee is truly a lifesaving miracle drug. Though he says its still a scientifi
26、c mystery how a simple cup of coffee works its wonders in the body, large epidemiological studies have repeatedly proved its astonishing benefits. Drink it black, or at most put a little skim milk in it to minimize calories, Dr. Chopra recommends. He drinks at least four cups a day himself, though m
27、ost people should limit themselves to two. And no, he jokes, Im not sponsored by Starbucks.Take a Walk for Your Memory Aerobic(有氧运动的) exercise is good for your body, great for your mind, according to the latest research from brain-fitness pioneer Arthur Kramer. Every year, an area called the hippoca
28、mpus, which is key to memory, shrinks by about 1 to 2 percent, increasing the risk of dementia (脑衰) as the years roll by. However, Kramers new investigations reveal that the hippocampi of adults who walked briskly for about 45 minutes three times a week grew by about 2 percent over the course of a y
29、ear, preventing age-related shrinking. Its never too late to start exercising, Kramer says; volunteers in his research were between 55 and 80 years old and hadnt exercised at all. And it doesnt need to be backbreaking. Anything that raises your heart rate seems to work, he says. Walking is fine. Jus
30、t find something you like and do it.Early to Bed, Early to Eat Being a night owl might increase your waistline, says sleep expert Michael Breus, PhD. People who stay up late and sleep late tend to eat more fast food and consume more of their calories after 8 p.m. than do normal sleepers. One of the
31、easiest things that anyone on a diet can do to improve her results is go to bed and wake up at the same times every day, Breus says. This way, your body knows when to sleep and is much more efficient. Organize your eating, too, by trying to eat meals at the same times every day. Avoid eating after 8
32、 p.m., and dont miss morning meals by sleeping in.Use the 20-Second Rule Whats the difference between having a goal and actually accomplishing it? Just 20 seconds, says positive-psychology specialist Shawn Achor. Researchers have learned that if we can cut 20 seconds off the startup time required fo
33、r a task, were much more likely to follow through. So, for example, if you want to work out in the morning, place your shoes and exercise clothes next to your bed the night before. If you want to praise people more, put thank-you notes and a pen on your desk.Imagine the Worst to Feel Better Dont cou
34、nt your blessings; subtract (扣除) them. Consciously spend a few minutes imagining what your life would be like without the good things, says Timothy Wilson, a psychologist at the University of Virginia. Youll experience stronger feelings of love, gratitude, and happiness when you think about what lif
35、e would be like without the people and things you love. And theyll seem surprising and special again, he adds.46. According to Sanjiv Chopra, most people should not drink more than _ cups of coffee a day. A. twoB. threeC. fourD. six47. Which of the following may help people on a diet to improve thei

To consider their own blessings.D. To prepare for the worst.C The most common use of intelligence test scores is to
38、predict degree of academic success. Such scores are used in some communities as bases for admitting able children to schools at ages younger than normal, and they are very generally used to determine admissions to schools beyond public secondary school. Another use common in elementary schools invol
39、ves comparing such scores with performances in various subjects to identify children who are working below capacity. The greatest problem in using intelligence tests for the purpose of prediction is that no dependable criterion of their accuracy exists. The ideal criteria would be objective and reli
40、able achievement tests following instruction in each subject, but there are few such tests, especially at the college level. Studies have shown that correlations(相关性) between intelligence tests and achievement tests in various subjects through secondary school range roughly from 0.5 to 0.8. Such cor
41、relations are fairly high, but they do not suggest anywhere near complete agreement. At the college level there are two major tests used as criteria of admission. By far the more important is the College Entrance Examination, constructed by the Educational Testing Service authorized by the College E
42、ntrance Examination Board. These tests are returned to the Educational Testing Service for scoring, and the results are then made available to the various colleges authorized by the students to receive them. The second test of this type is the American College Test, which operates in essentially the
43、 same fashion. Both tests constitute measures of certain skills, abilities, and knowledge that have been found to be related to success in college. Their correlations with academic success are limited for three outstanding reasons. First, measures of achievement in college are themselves perhaps no
44、more reliable than those in elementary and secondary schools. Second, intellectual factors do not alone determine academic success, especially at the college level. Many students drop out of schools because they are inadequately motivated or because they dislike the instructional programme. Third, c
45、orrelations are lowered because the use of such tests for denying admission to some students means that the range of scores for those admitted is restricted, and such restriction tend to reduce correlation. 50. The intelligence scores can be used in the following way EXCEPT_. A. telling in advance t
46、he degree of academic success B. admitting intelligent children to school at the age younger than ordinary C. finding out children with lower ability in primary schools D. selecting pupils by public secondary schools51. The ideal criteria in using intelligence tests for prediction should be _. A. ac
47、curate college tests B. objective and reliable achievement tests C. objective and reliable intelligence tests D. a series of objective multiple choices52. What can be inferred from the second paragraph? A. Ideal criteria for objective and reliable achievement tests in college courses are hard to fin
48、d. B. Intelligence test scores can accurately predict the degree of academic success. C. The correlations between intelligence tests and achievement tests are lowest in college courses. D. The high correlations between intelligence tests and achievement tests in secondary school gain universal recog
49、nition.53. The results of the College Entrance Examination will be _. A. sent to the college that the students chose B. more important to the students than the American College Test C. decided by the College Entrance Examination Board D. used as criteria of the American College Test54. The correlati
50、ons between two college admission tests and academic success in college are limited for the reason that _. A. many students drop out of schools B. students are not adequately motivated C. intellectual factors are more important for students than when they were in primary and middle schools D. measur
51、es of college achievement are unreliable like those in primary and middle schools.D My grandson, Daniel, and I have always been very close. When Daniels father remarried after a divorce, Daniel, who was eleven, and his little sister, Kristie, came to live with us. My husband and I were more than hap
52、py to have kids in the house again. Things were going along just fine until the diabetes(糖尿病) Ive lived with most of my adult life started affecting my eyes, and then more seriously, my kidneys(肾). Then everything seemed to fall apart. Three times a week, I had to go to the hospital to be hooked up
53、to a dialysis machine(透析机). I was living, but I couldnt really call it a lifeit was an existence. I had no energy. I dragged myself through daily chores and slept as much as I could. My sense of humor seemed to disappear. Daniel, seventeen by then, was really affected by the change in me. He tried a
54、s hard as he could to make me laugh, to bring back the grandma who loved to clown around(开玩笑) with him. Even in my sorry state, Daniel could still bring a smile to my face. But things were not improving. After a year on dialysis, my condition was deteriorating(恶化) and the doctors felt that if I didn
55、t receive a kidney transplant within six months, I would surely die. No one told Daniel this, but he knewhe said all he had to do was look after me. To top it off, as my condition worsened, there was a chance that I would become too weak to have the transplant surgery at all, and then there would be
56、 nothing they could do for me. So we started the tense and desperate wait for a kidney. I was adamant(坚决的) that I didnt want a kidney from anyone I knew. I would wait until an appropriate kidney became available, or I would literally die waiting. But Daniel had other plans. The time that he took me
57、to my dialysis appointments, he did a little secret research on his own. Then he announced his intention to me. Grandma, Im giving you one of my kidneys. Im young and Im healthy He paused. He could see I wasnt at all happy with his offer. He continued, almost in whisper, And most of all, I couldnt s
58、tand it if you werent around. His face wore an expression of appeal mixed with determination. He can be as stubborn as a mule (驴) once he decides on somethingbut Ive been told many times that I can out-stubborn any mule! We argued. I couldnt let him do it. We both knew that if he gave up his kidney,
59、 he would also give up his lifes dream; to play football. It was all he ever talked about. And he was good, too. Daniel was co-captain and star defensive tackle(防守阻截队员) of his high school team; he expected to apply for a football scholarship and was looking forward to playing college football. He ju
60、st loved the sport. How can I let you throw away the thing that means the most to you? I pleaded with him. Grandma, he said softly, compared to your life, football means nothing to me. After that, I couldnt argue anymore. So we agreed to see if he was a good donor(捐赠者) match, and then wed discuss it
61、 further. When the tests came back, they showed Daniel was a perfect match. That was it. I knew I wasnt going to win that argument, so we scheduled the transplant. Both surgeries went smoothly. As soon as I came out of the anesthesia(麻醉) , I could tell things were different. I felt great! The nurses
62、 in the intensive care unit had to keep telling me to lie back and be quietI wasnt supposed to be that lively! I was afraid to go to sleep, for fear I would break the spell(魔法) and wake up the way I had been before. But the good feeling didnt go away, and I spent the evening joking and laughing with
63、 anyone who would listen. It was so wonderful to feel alive again. The next day they moved me out of ICU and onto the floor where Daniel was recuperating(复原) three doors away. His grandfather helped him walk down to see me as soon as I was moved into my room. When we saw each other, we did not know
64、what to say. Holding hands, we just sat there and looked at each other for a long time, overwhelmed by the deep feeling of love that connected us. Finally, he spoke, Was it worthwhile, grandma? I laughed a little ruefully(懊悔). It was for me! But was it for you? I asked him. He nodded and smiled at m
65、e. Ive got my grandma back. And I have my life back. It still amazes me. Every morning, when I wake up, I thank Godand Danielfor this miracle. A miracle born of the purest love.55. Grandmas diabetes brought about all the following EXCEPT that _. A. her eyes and her kidneys were affectedB. grandma be

71、 grandmas life meant the most to Daniel.第二节 下面文章中5处（第6165题）需要添加小标题，请从以下选项（A、B、C、D、E和F）中选出符合各段意思的小标题。选项中有一项是多余选项。A. You dont track your progressB. You dont have a plan to reach your goalC. Your goal is too difficult and not realisticD. You dont take actionE. Your goal is too general or too vague (不明确
72、的)F. You are not committed to your goal How often do you set your goal and then fail to achieve it? Do you ever reflect on the reasons why you didnt achieve your goal? There are a number of mistakes that people make when they set their goals at the start of the year. If one of these mistakes is made
73、, then before even starting you are setting yourself up to fail. There are 5 key goal-setting mistakes that you need to avoid in 2013.61. _ If you have done any kind of goal-setting before, youre bound to come across the SMART technique of goal-setting. SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Achieva
74、ble, Relevant and Time-bound. If your goal is not specific and it is ambiguous in some way, how will you know when you have actually achieved your goal? How do you actually know if youre heading in the right direction? You should be able to measure your goals and track your progress. If you cant, th
75、en its probably not clear.62. _ The SMART principle once again comes into play here. All too often people set themselves goals that are far too stretching. When the goal is beyond reachable, negative thoughts enter the mind and disbelief kicks in. This is the opposite of what a good structured goal
76、should do. Ensure your goal is achievable and realistic. Set small targets along the way so you can track your progress. If you feel you are falling behind, reset your goal to something that you can reach. 63. _ Many people set certain goals in life because they feel they have to. However, on many o
77、ccasions these are not the goals that the individual is actually passionate about. The goals set are not associated with their values nor are their own goals - the goals are those that their parents or society wants them to have. If you are not fully committed to your goal upfront, then youre doomed
78、 from the start. You will lack the motivation and desire to actually achieve the goal. 64. _ If your goal is to start an online business, thats fantastic. However, how are you actually going to achieve it? You need to map your way towards your goal and with as much clarity as you can. Sometimes clar
79、ity can be cloudy as you may have a lack of knowledge or skill in what it is that you want to achieve. However, you can start to map the things that you can do to help you learn and grow and progress to where it is that you want to go. Besides, breaking your goals into smaller steps is essential for
80、 helping you track your progress and ensure that your goals are realistic and attainable.65. _ Without taking action you wont get anywhere. Taking action is the most important part of any goal. Even if you take action and you find youre not getting anywhere, you can learn from your experience. Takin
81、g action not only progresses you towards your goals, but it helps you learn from your mistakes. They are the keys to reaching your goals in 2013.第三部分：写作第一节：短文改错I was cooking in the kitchen when the telephone rang. I ran to the living room and pick up the phone only to hear nothing.
