Teaching was a profession I had never seriou
24、sly considered, though several of my stories had been published. I accepted the job without hesitation, as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr. Davis. My father went by the same name, and I liked to imagine people getting the two of us confused. “Wait a minute” someone might say
25、, “are you talking about Mr. Davis the retired man, or Mr. Davis the respectable scholar?”The position was offered at the last minute, and I was given two weeks to prepare, a period I spent searching for briefcase (公文包) and standing before my full-length mirror, repeating the words, “Hello, class. I
26、m Mr. Davis.” Sometimes I would give myself an aggressive voice. Sometimes I would sound experienced. But when the day eventually came, my nerves kicked in and the true Mr. Davis was there. I sounded not like a thoughtful professor, but rather a 12-year-old boy.I arrived in the classroom with paper
27、cards designed in the shape of maple leaves. I had cut them myself out of orange construction paper. I saw nine students along a long table. I handed out the cards, and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets as I required. “All right then,” I said. “Okay, here
28、we go.” Then I opened my briefcase and realized that I had never thought beyond this moment. I had been thinking that the students would be the first to talk, offering their thoughts and opinions on the events of the day. I had imagined that I would sit at the edge of the desk, overlooking a forests
29、 of hands. Every student would yell. “Calm down, youll all get your turn. One at a time, one at a time!”A terrible silence ruled the room, and seeing no other opinions, I inspected the students to pull out their notebooks and write a brief essay related to the theme of deep disappointment.51.

33、troy equipment and files, but some viruses can infect cell phones, too. Teenagers are the most vulnerable(易受攻击的) because of the ways they use their phones.“My friend has a joke service. Every day, she gets a different joke,” said Niki Lamontagne, a cell phone user.“Instead of jokes, I received messa
34、ges like Tell me your birthday, ” said Presley Underwood, a 7th -grader.If teenagers are not downloading jokes, it will be a song or picture, or the hottest new games. Thats how most phone viruses are spread.“It will say Download, and if I click on it and it will come to me five minutes. Nothing rea
35、lly happens. I mean I get to play the games without knowing that I may get viruses, ” said Darius Assin, a junior in a high school.Most people do no know that cell phones are vulnerable to viruses. KPRC Local Two recently told government security leaders that a wave pf viruses spreading across Asia
36、and Europe was on its way to cell phones in the US. Now an anti-virus firm is tracking eight different terrible cell phone bugs. Some viruses spread through the list of phone numbers which people keep in their phones. Houston computer security firms are preparing themselves for the attack.Daniel Are
37、emit of Timeer Networking said a cell phone user would think that he or she was just receiving a message. “Oh, this is a very cool picture. They click and download it. Then, their phones get infected,” Areemit said.Some viruses can drain a cell phone users minutes, make long-distance calls at the us
38、ers expense or steal pictures and e-mails. But one virus, called the Commwarrior, is spreading through the text message, which is a way of communicating for many teenagers.The smarter phones or newer phones that use Bluetooth technology are the most vulnerable. Experts suggest turning off Bluetooth
39、when its not in use.

Weve moved on from the catch-it-eat-it custom and developed a more civilized way to consume nosh（food）. We burn it, boil it and do everything we ca
43、n to make sure its dead before putting it in our mouths.None of us wants to put something alive and kicking down our throats. Nobody, that is, except proponents of living food. According to them, dead food has been robbed of vast amounts of goodness and is nowhere near as nutritious as food thats “a
44、live”.Now, before we get carried away, these guys arent suggesting you eat beef that is still mooing(牛叫声) (although they do claim youd get more nutritional value if you did). No, the thrust of their argument is that we should consume more living vegetables. There is a huge difference between raw foo
45、d and living food, says Michael Bedar from the Tree of Life, an organization leading the way in what it calls spiritual nutrition. “Being fresh off the tree or vine is one part of living food,” he says. “It is still growing. Also, sprouted food (for example, Brussels sprouts) germinated(发芽) in water
46、, is living up to the moment it is eaten.”Nuts and seeds count, too. If you put them in the ground, theyll start growing, so they are clearly alive. But whats the benefit and what makes all this food so much more valuable than the rest? Its a matter of rotting a process that eradicates a host of goo
47、dies from your food and one that starts much earlier than youd think.Vegetables that were not picked on the day are considered raw rather than living. Sprouts and sauerkraut (white cabbage fermented in its own juice) are exceptions. Leaf vegetables lettuce, cabbage and spinach will be the least aliv
48、e. These were cut from the root when picked and started dying immediately. Fruit is different, however. It stays alive and thus keeps its nutritional value longer than vegetables, in order to be able to disperse its seeds. This is a result of evolutionary necessity.“University studies have shown tha
49、t 32 minutes after being taken from the ground, a lettuces nutritional value decreases by half,” says Brian Clement, a leading living foodie and director of the Hippocrates Health Institute. “Living food is far more abundant in hormones, oxygen, phytochemicals (disease-fighting compounds occurring n
50、aturally in plants) and enzymes, all of which have huge health benefits.”So fresher food is better for you hardly much controversy(争论) there. Its when the living foodies start talking about biophoton fields and food energetics that doubtful eyebrows start to creep up.59.Which of the following is the
51、 best title for this passage?A.Eat it while its still aliveB.Living food a way to more hormonesC.Eat it raw or cooked its up to youD. Dead or alive food on the shelves60.According to the passage, _.A. man is distinguished from animals in that he eats meat rawB.catch-it-eat-it was mans earliest civil
52、ized way to eat foodC. most people dont like the idea of eating living food.D.before man discovered ways to boil or burn food, they ate it raw61.Which of the following claims made by living foodie is the author most suspicious of?A.Nuts and seeds are living food.B.Living food is richer in food energ
53、etics.C.Sprouts are living right up to the time they are eaten.D.Sprouts are living right up to the time they are eaten.DIreland has had a very difficult history. The problems started in the 16th century when English rulers tried to conquer(征服) Ireland. For hundreds of years, the Irish people fought
54、 against the English. Finally, in 1921, the British government was forced to give independence to the south of Ireland. The result is that today there are two “Irelands”. Northern Ireland, in the north, is part of the united kingdom. The Republic of Ireland, in the south, is an independent country.
55、In the 1840s the main crop, potatoes, was affected by disease and about 750,000 people died of hunger. This, and a shortage (短缺) of work , forced many people to leave Ireland and live in the USA, the UK, Australia and Canada. As a result of these problems, the population fell from 8.2 million in 184
56、1 to 6.6 million in 1851.For many years, the majority of Irish people earned their living as farmers. Today, many people still work on the land but more and more people are moving to the cities to work in factories and offices. Life in the cities is very different from life in the countryside, where
57、 things move at a quieter and slower pace.The Irish are famous for being warm-hearted and friendly. Oscar Wilde, a famous Irish writer, once said that the Irish were “the greatest talkers since the Greeks”. Since independence, Ireland has revived(复兴) its own culture of music, language, literature an
58、d singing. Different areas have different styles of old Irish song which are sung without instruments. Other kinds of Irish music use many different instruments such as the violin, whistles, etc.62. What does the author tell us in paragraph 1?A. How the Irish fought against the English.B. How Irelan
59、d gained independence.C. How English rulers tried to conquer Ireland.D. How two “Irelands” came into being.63. We learn from the text that in Ireland .A. food shortages in the 1840s led to a decline in populationB. people are moving to the cities for lack of work in the countrysideC. it is harder to
60、 make a living as a farmer than as a factory workerD. different kinds of old Irish songs are all sung with instruments64. The last paragraph is mainly about .A. the Irish character B. Irish culture C. Irish musical instruments D. a famous Irish writer65. What can be the best title for the text?A. Li

62、ce costs from fifteen to fifty dollars. It is impossible to pay for the medical care they need. _67_. Most doctors, however, disagree. They say that they were required to study medicine for a long time. Tuition（学费） for many years of medical education costs a lot of money. Doctors say that it is nece
63、ssary for most medical students to borrow money from a bank to pay their tuition. _68_, young doctors need a lot of money for their work. _69_.
