16、 had in my hand a sheet of paper with handwritten instructions on it for some sort of editorial task. It occurred at first that I did not recognize the handwriting, and then I realized whose it must be. I finally became aware of the fact that I had been working with this colleague for at least a yea
17、r, maybe two, and yet I did not recognize her handwriting at that point.It was a very important event in the computerization of life-a sign that the informal. Friendly communication of people working together in an office had changed from notes in pen to instant messages and emails. There was a time
18、 when our workdays were filled with little letters, and we recognized one anothers handwriting the way we knew voices or faces.As a child visiting my fathers office, I was pleased to recognize, in little notes on the desks of his staff, the same handwriting I would see at home in the notes he would
19、leave on the fridgeexcept that those notes were signed “dad” instead of “RFW”.All this has been on my mind because of the talk about The Rise and Fall of Handwriting, a book by Florey. She shows in her book a deep concern about the fall of handwriting and the failure of schools to teach children to
20、write well, but many others argue that people in a digital age cant be expected to learn to hold a pen.I dont buy it.I dont want to see anyone cut off from the expressive, personal associations that a pen still promotes better than a digital keyboard does. For many a biographer, part of really getti
21、ng to know their subjects is learning to read their handwriting.What some people advocate is teaching one of the many attractive handwritings based on the handwriting of 16th-century Italy. That may sound impossibly grand-as if they want kids to learn to draw by copying classical paintings. However,
22、 they have worked in many school systems.36. Why was the author surprised at not recognizing his colleagues handwriting?A. He had worked with his colleague long enough.B. His colleagues handwriting was so beautiful.C. His colleagues handwriting was so terrible.D. He still had a lot of work to do.37.
23、 People working together in an office used to .A. talk more about handwritingB. take more notes on workdaysC. know better one anothers handwritingD. communicate better with one another38. According to the author, handwritten notes .A. are harder to teach in schoolsB. attract more attentionC. are use
24、d only between friendsD. carry more message39. We can learn from the passage that the author .A. thinks it impossible to teach handwritingB. does not want to lose handwritingC. puts the blame on the computerD. does not agree with FloreyBCamping wild is a wonderful way to experience the natural world
25、 and, at its best, it makes little environmental influence. But with increasing numbers of people wanting to escape into the wilderness, it is becoming more and more important to camp unobtrusively (不引人注目地) and leave no mark.Wild camping is not permitted in many places, particularly in crowded lowla
26、nd Britain. Wherever you are, find out about organizations responsible for managing wild spaces, and contact them to find out their policy on camping and shelter building. For example, it is fine to camp wild in remote parts of Scotland, but in England you must ask the landowners permission, except
27、in national parks.Camping is about having relaxation, sleeping outdoors, experiencing bad weather, and making do without modem conveniences. A busy, fullyequipped campsite (野营地) seems to go against this, so seek out smaller, more remote places with easy access to open spaces and perhaps beaches. Bet
28、ter still, find a campsite with no road access; walking in makes a real adventure.Finding the right spot to camp is the first step to guaranteeing a good nights sleep. Choose a campsite with privacy and minimum influence on others and the environment. Try to use an area where people have obviously c
29、amped before rather than creating a new spot. When camping in woodland, avoid standing dead trees, which may fall on a windy night. Avoid animal runs and caves, and possible homes of biting insects. Make sure you have most protection on the windward side. If you make a fire, do so downwind of your s
30、helter. Always consider what influence you might have on the natural world. Avoid damaging plants. A good campsite is found, not madechanging it should be unnecessary.40. You neednt ask for permission when camping in .A. national parks in EnglandB. most parts of ScotlandC. crowded low land BritainD.
31、 most parts of England41. The author thinks that a good campsite is one .A. with easy accessB. used previouslyC. with modem conveniencesD. far away from beaches42. The passage is mainly about .A. the protection of campsitesB. the importance of wild campingC. the human influence on campsitesD. the do
32、s and donts of wild campingCBusinesses are witnessing a difficult time, which has in turn produced influence on consumers, desire to go green. However, shoppers are still laying stress on environmental concerns.Two thirds of customers say that environmental considerations inform their purchases to t
33、he same degree as they did a year ago, while more than a quarter say that they are now even better aware of the environmental effect on what they buy.This may help to influence how shops store goods on their shelves. And the companies should still make efforts to become more environmentally friendly
34、. Two out of three people think it is important to buy from environmentally responsible companies, with about one in seven saying that they had even decided to take their custom elsewhere if they felt a companys environmental reputation was not good enough.Harry Morrison, chief executive (主管) of the
35、 Carbon Trust, sympathizes: “I understand this situation where survival is very important now. But from environmental considerations, the clock is tickingwe dont have much time. In addition, cutting carbon has an immediate effect as costs drop and a medium-term benefit for the brand.”Larger companie
36、s have an extra motivation to look at reducing their carbon footprint, as new rules next year will require businesses to buy carbon allowances to make up for their emissions (排放). Those that have taken early action will have a head start. More than two thirds of consumers are not clear about which c
37、ompanies are environmentally responsible. This suggests that firms that are able to relay clearly their message to the public will be in a pole position to attract shoppers.The Carbon Trust believes that it can help by informing customers about the good work companies are doing. “When companies are
38、granted (授予) the standard, they can use a logo (标识) in all their marketing which makes it clear that they are working towards cutting emissions,” Mr. Morrison said.43. Whats the main idea of the passage?A. Businesses are finding ways to send their message to the shoppers.B. Companies will soon get i
39、nformation about cutting carbon emissions.C. Firms are making efforts to encourage customers to keep goods at home.D. Firms are urged to cut carbon emissions by shoppers, environmental awareness.44. The underlined word “inform” in Paragraph 2 probably means “ ”.A. affectB. changeC. disturbD. reject4
40、5. According to Harry Morrison, businesses .A. will benefit from cutting carbon emissionsB. should buy carbon allowances for shoppersC. are required to make up for their carbon emissionsD. have encouraged shoppers to take their custom elsewhere46. We can learn from the passage that businesses will .
41、A. have a strong desire to reduce costsB. use the same logo in their marketingC. gain advantages by taking early actionD. attract more shoppers by storing goodsDDo you know how it is when you see someone yawn and you start yawning too? Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh your
42、self? Well, apparently its because we have mirror neurons (神经元) in our brains.Put simply, the existence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something, our brains imitate it, whether or not we actually perform the same action. This explains a great deal about how we lear
43、n to smile, talk, walk, dance or play sports. But the idea goes further: mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions, they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people.Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains, but especially i
44、n the area which relate to our ability to use languages, and to understand how other people feel. Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language. A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to (for example: “The hand took hold of the ball”),
45、 the same mirror neurons were triggered as when the action was actually performed (in this example, actually taking hold of a ball).Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons w
46、hich are not fully functioning. However, it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders.Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information concerning how humans behave and interact. Indeed, it may turn out to be the equivale
47、nt for neuroscience of what Einsteins theory of relativity was for physics. And the next time you feel the urge to cough in the cinema when someone else does-well, perhaps youll understand why.47. Mirror neurons can explain .A. why we cry when we are hurtB. why we cough when we suffer from a coldC.
48、why we smile when we see someone else smileD. why we yawn when we see someone else stay up late48. The underlined word “triggered” in the third paragraph probably means “ ”.A. set offB. cut offC. built upD. broken up49. We can learn from the passage that mirror neurons .A. relate to human behavior a
49、nd interactionB. control human physical actions and feelingsC. result in bad behavior and social disordersD. determine our knowledge and language abilities50. What is the passage mainly about?A. Ways to find mirror neurons.B. Problems of mirror neurons.C. Existence of mirror neurons.D. Functions of
50、mirror neurons.第二节（共5小题;每小题2分，共10分）从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。The Value of TearsTears can ruin make-up, bring conversation to a stop, and give you a runny nose. Tears leave you embarrassed and without energy. Still, crying is a fact of life, and your tears are very useful. Even when youre n
51、ot crying, they make a film over the eyes surface. 71 When tears fall, they reduce stress. But we tend to fight them for all sorts of reasons. “People worry about showing their emotions (情绪), afraid that once they lose control theyll never get it back.” 72 After we cry, the feelings that caused the
52、tears often disappear.Sometimes people become much stressed and cant cry. Whatever emotion they are feeling shock, anger, fear, or sadness is being held back.But everyone has the need to cry. Psychologist Vera Diamond explains that her treatment often consists of giving people permission to cry. 73
53、Patients practice crying just to become used to expressing emotions. She suggests safe, private places to cry, like under the bedcovers or in the car. Crying is a way of ease tension, but people dont like it when others cry because it makes them tense. 74 And theyll do just about anything to make yo
54、u stop.In certain situations, such as at work, tears are not appropriate. Its good not to cry during a tense business discussion. 75 You should also act out the whole situation again and be as noisy and angry as you like. It will help you feel better. “And,” she adds, “Once your tears have taken awa
55、y the stress, you can begin to think calmly of ways to deal with the problem.”Tears are a sign of our ability to feel. If you find yourself near someone crying, deal with it.
