19、e was explaining the story of mankind to his pupils. He told them that, in the beginning, men were nomads; they never stayed in the same place for very long. Instead，they would travel about, here and there, in search of food, wherever it was to be found. And when the food ran out, they would move of
20、f somewhere else.He taught them about the invention of farming and keeping animals. This was an important discovery, because by learning to cultivate(耕作)the land, and care for animals, mankind would always have food steadily available. It also meant that people could remain living in one place, and
21、this made it easier to set about tasks that would take a long while to complete, like building towns, cities, and all that were in them. All the children were listening attracted by this story, until Lucy jumped up:“And if that was so important and improved everything so much, why are we nomads all
22、over again, Mr. Arnold?”Mr. Arnold didnt know what to say. Lucy was a very intelligent girl. He knew that she lived with her parents in a house, so she must know that her family were not nomads; so what did she mean?“We have all become nomads again,” continued Lucy, “The other day, outside the city,
23、 they were cutting the forest down. A while ago a fisherman told me how they fish. Its the same with everyone: when theres no more forest left the foresters go elsewhere, and when the fish run out the fishermen move on. Thats what the nomads did, isnt it? The teacher nodded, thoughtfully. Really, Lu
24、cy was right Mankind had turned into nomads. Instead of looking after the land in a way that we could be sure it would keep supplying our needs, we kept developing it until the land was bare. And then off we would go to the next place! The class spent the rest of the afternoon talking about what the
25、y could do to show how to be more civilized.The next day everyone attended class wearing a green T-shirt, with a message that said “I am not a nomad!”And，from then on, they set about showing that indeed they were not. Every time they knew they needed something, they made sure that they would get it
26、using care and control. If they needed wood or paper, they would make sure that they got the recycled kind. They ordered their fish from fish farms, making sure that the fish they received were not too young and too small. They only used animals that were well cared for, and brought up on farms.And
27、so, from their little town, those children managed to give up being nomads again, just as prehistoric men had done, so many thousands of years ago.41. Why would early humans travel about in the beginning?A. To experience different lifestyles.B. To go sightseeing in different places.C. To find what t
28、hey could to feed themselves.D. To do more exercise to build themselves up.42. From Paragraph 2，we can know that _.A. people got tired of living in the same placeB. people gradually got used to living in citiesC. people spent a long time in learning to keep animalsD. people tended to settle down aft
29、er learning farming43. In the teachers opinion, Lucys argument was _A. reasonableB. ridiculous C. puzzling D. shocking44.Which of the following agrees with the message “I am not a nomad” (Paragraph 7)?A. People eat young fish for its delicious taste.B. People use recycled materials as much as possib
30、le.C. Fishermen move elsewhere when there is no fish left.D. Foresters leave the place where wood is not available.45.The writer tries to make us believe that _.A. mankind has been progressing mainly through traveling aboutB. its unwise for mankind to use the land in an uncontrolled wayC. its quite
31、good for students to learn more about the history of mankindD. teachers should encourage students to voice their own opinions bravelyBIts nice to have friends. Sometimes you need one person to talk to. You can play games, hang out or even just talk on the phone. Consider these suggestions to meet pe
32、ople and form strong, lasting friendships. Well, take your time, and dont rush.Join an organization or a club with people who have common interests.You dont necessarily have a lot of common interests with people in order to make friends with them. But if you have something in common with them, it ca
33、n make it a lot easier to talk to them and plan activities. Whatever your age and whatever your interests, there is an organization or a club for you. Social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter are also a great way to meet new people and learn more about them.Join a sports team.As long as you
34、 enjoy the sport and support your teammates, joining a local team with a laid-back attitude could be a great way to make new friends. A sports team isnt the only way. If you play instruments or sing ，try joining a band. Make small talk.Keep the conversation light and cheery. Even if youre complainin
35、g about something, make sure its something youre both dissatisfied with, and emphasize the positivehow such a situation can be avoided in the future. Many conversationalists say that it is good to follow a 30/70 (30% talking, 70% listening) pattern during small talk when possible.Ask them out for lu
36、nch or coffee.That will give you a better opportunity to talk and get to know each other a little bit better. A good way to extend yourself is to say: “Hey, well, Ive got to go, but if you ever want to talk over lunch or coffee or anything like that, let me give you my number or e-mail address.” Thi
37、s gives theperson the opportunity to get in touch with you; they may or may not give you their information in return, but thats fine. Maybe they dont have time for new friends-dont take it personally! Just offer your information to whoever seems to be potentially a good friend, and eventually somebo
38、dy will get in touch. Be loyal(忠诚的）to a friend.Youve probably heard of fair-weather friends. Theyre the ones who are happy to be around you when things arc going well ，but are nowhere to be found when you really need them. Part of being a friend is being prepared to spare time and energy in order to
39、 help out your friends. If a friend needs help with an unpleasant thing, or if he or she just needs a shoulder to cry on ，be there. If your friends make a joke ，laugh with them. Never complain about a friend.Be a good listener.Many people think that in order to be seen as friend material they have t
40、o appear very interesting. Far more important than this ，however, is the ability to show that youre interested in others. Listen carefully to what people say, remember important details about them (their names, their likes and dislikes), ask questions about their interests, and just take the lime to
41、 learn more about them. You dont want to be the guy or girl that always has a better story than anyone else or that changes the subject suddenly instead of continuing the flow of conversation.Be trustworthy.One of the best things about having a friend is that you have someone to whom you can talk ab
42、out anything, even secrets that you hide from the rest of the world. The key to being a good friend is the ability to keep secrets, so its no secret that you shouldnt tell other people things that were told to you in confidence.46. According to the given information, what quality do you need to have
43、 if you want to make friends?A. Patience. B. Curiosity. C. Bravery. D. Humor.47. Those who can enjoy a happy life together but its hard to go through hardness hand in hand are_A. loyal friends B. close friends C. dishonest friends D. fair-weather friends48. While having a conversation with your frie
44、nds, you should avoid_.A. applying the 30/70 patternB. talking too much about yourselfC. showing interest in their topics D. knowing more details about them49. To be a reliable friend, youd better_.A. have some common interests with your friendsB. find something to complain about with your friendsC.
45、 keep the secrets that your friends have told youD. exchange your personal information with your friendsCHow good are you at saying “no”? For many, its surprisingly difficult. This is especially true of editors, who by nature tend to be eager and engaged participants in everything they do. Consider
46、these scenes:Its late in the day. That front-page package youve been working on is nearly complete; the last editing and its finished. Then enters the chief editor, who makes a suggestion requiring a more-than-modest rearrangement of the design and the addition of an information box. You want to scr
47、eam: “No! Its done!” What do you do?The first rule of saying no to the boss is “dont say no”. He probably has something in mind when he makes the suggestion, and its up to you to find out what. The second rule is “dont raise the risks by challenging his authority”. That issue is already decided. The
48、 third rule is “be ready to put forward choices and consequences”. The bosss suggestion might be appropriate, but there are always consequences. He might not know about the pages backing up that need attention, or about the designer who had to go home sick. Tell him he can have what he wants, but ex
49、plain the consequences. Understand what hes trying to accomplish and propose(提议）a Plan B that will make it happen without destroying what youve done so far.Heres another case. Your least-favorite reporter suggests a silly story idea. This one should be easy, but its not. If you say no, even politely
50、, you risk holding back further ideas, not just from that reporter, but from others who heard that you turned down the idea. This case is common in newsrooms that lack a systematic way to filter(过滤）story suggestions.Two steps are necessary. First, you need a system for how stories are proposed and r
51、eviewed. Reporters can bear rejection of their ideas if they believe they are given a fair hearing. Your natural reaction and strong rejection, even of a worthless idea, might not qualify as systematic or fair.Second, the people you work with need to make a “What if”，agreement covering What if my id
52、ea is turned down?” How are people expected to react? Is there an appeal process? Can they perfect the idea and resubmit it? By imagining “What if.?” situations before they happen, you can reach understanding that will help ease you out of opposition.50.This passage is mainly about_.A. the cases whe
53、re ideas are rejected B. the ways to give different opinions C. the skills of saying no D. the methods for solving disagreements51.Instead of directly refusing your bosss suggestion, you should_.A. pretend that you are sickB. seek what he is thinking aboutC. state that your design is quite perfectD.
54、 ask him to give the reason for his suggestion52.By saying “This one should be easy ” (Paragraph 4)，the writer means its easy to_A. understand the silly story ideaB. let others politely say noC. fool your least-favorite reporterD. turn down that reporters idea53.Why is it important to set up a syste
55、m for stories to be proposed and reviewed?A. To allow reporters enough time to change their attitude.B. To develop reporters5 strong sense of fairness.C. To encourage reporters to give valuable ideas.D. To guarantee reporters chances to give further explanations.54.What is conveyed in the last parag
56、raph?A. Sometimes we may view a problem from another angle.B. We may relax ourselves by raising questions when were in trouble.C. “What if ?” situations help improve our relationship with others.D. Its almost impossible for others to accept our ideas at once.DRed roses were her favorites; her name w
57、as also Rose. And every year her husband sent them, tied with pretty bows. The year he died, the roses were delivered to her door. The card said, “Be my Valentine(情人)” , like all the years before.Each year he sent her roses, and the note would always say, “I love you even more this year, than last y
58、ear on this day. My love for you will always grow, with every passing year.” She knew this was the last time that the roses would appear. She thought, he ordered roses in advance before this day. Her loving husband did not know that he would pass away. He always liked to do things early. Then, if he
59、 got too busy, everything would work out fine. She cut away some stems, placed them in a very special vase, and set the vase beside the picture of his smiling face. She would sit for hours in her husbands favorite chair, staring at his photo and the roses sitting there.A year went by, and it was har
60、d to live without her mate. Loneliness and solitude had become her fate. Then, the very hour, as on Valentines Day before, the doorbell rang, and there were roses, sitting by her door. She brought the roses in, and just looked at them in shock. Then, she went to get the telephone to call the florist
61、(花匠）shop. The owner answered, and she asked him, if he would explain why someone would do this to her, causing her such pain.“I know your husband passed away, more than a year ago，” the owner said, “I knew youd call, and you would want to know. The flowers you received today were paid for in advance
62、. Your husband always planned ahead. He left nothing to chance.”“There is a standing order that I have on file down here. And he has paid, well in advance; youll get them every year. There is also another thing that I think you should know. He wrote a special little card . he did this years ago.” “T
63、hen, should ever, I find out that hes no longer here. Thats the card . that should be sent to you the following year.” She thanked him and hung up the phone ，her tears now flowing hard. Her fingers shaking, she slowly reached to get the card. Inside the card, she saw that he had written her a note.
64、Then，as she stared in total silence, this is what he wrote: “Hello my love, I know its been a year since I was gone. I hope it hasnt been too hard for you to overcome. I know it must be lonely, and the pain is very real. If it was the other way, I know how I would feel. The love we shared made every
65、thing so beautiful in life. I loved you more than words can say. You were the perfect wife.”“You were my friend and lover; you satisfied my every need. I know its only been a year, but please try not to grieve. I want you to be happy, even when you shed your tears. That is why the roses will be sent
66、 to you for years.”“When you get these roses, think of all the happiness that we had together, and how both of us were blessed. I have always loved you and I know I always will. But, my love, you must go on; you have some living still.”“Please . try to find happiness, while living out your days. I k
67、now it is not easy, but I hope you find some ways. The roses will come every year, and they will only stop when your doors not answered, when the florist stops to knock. He will come five times that day, in case you have gone out. But after his last visit, he will know without a doubt. To take the r
68、oses to the place, where Ive instructed him, and place them where we are, together once again.”55. How did Rose feel when she received roses a year after her husbands death?A. Surprised and disappointed.B. Happy but confused.C. Proud but frightened.D. Sad and puzzled.56.What can we know about Roses
69、husband when he was alive?A. He knew his wife loved roses more than himself.B. He preferred to make arrangements ahead of time.C. He gave his wife a pleasant surprise every Valentines Day.D. He was so busy that he had to order roses in advance each year.57. The writer presents many details of the no

What does your new single “Chasing pavements” actually mean?D. What unique ways do you employ to write these “sad love songs”？E. Has winning the awa
74、rd added to the pressure you are experiencing?F. You studied at the Brit School. Why do you think it has produced so many stars in recent years?61. _Yeah, I did “Letterman” and “The Today Show”. I have no idea what they were equal to because obviously we dont have them here. I like the two shows whi
75、ch are like “Imagine GMTV” but on a much bigger scale. It was live and there were about 50 million people watching, so I literally express myself! “Letterman” was pre-recorded so I wasnt quite nervous, but I forgot that during my performance. I got halfway through the song and couldnt remember wheth
76、er it was live or not.62. _Obviously when I was little, but mainly from when I was 16 onwards. I first remember singing when I was really little, probably when I was about six. I did a Spice Girls tribute in my room for my family. And then I went to study at the Brit School, the performing arts scho
77、ol in Croydon. To be honest, I really enjoyed my time there, where I did actual lessons, but they didnt force anything onto you. They just aimed to help you develop. They nurtured you, you know.63. _I was thinking about this the other day, because, before this year, the Brit School didnt actually pr
78、oduce anyone. All this money was being pumped into it, and nobody was coming out of it and doing well, so I think they were getting a bit worried. I think the Brit Schools produced loads of great people that nobody knows yet, but off the back of Amy Winehouse, who earned six nominations, including B
79、est New Artist, Record of the Year and Song of the Year for her hit “Rehab” and Album of the Year for “Back to Black”，its been getting more support. Suddenly all these great girls came forward in this great outburst of talentI think ifs just luck and timing, to be honest.64 _In the past years Ive tr
80、ied to sit down and think “Right, this is what Im going to write about”, but I cant because you cant force it. All my songs are a bit sad and full of drama because when Im happy I havent got time to write songs, you know. When Ive had my heart broken, I end up feeling sorry for myself and writing so
81、ngs.” Therefore, there wasnt really a specific process to it. I just sort of happen to sit and wait patiently until Im ready to write the record. I cant really plan it very well. If I try to plan, it never works out well.65_It doesnt really make sense, does it? “Chasing Pavements” is about chasing a
82、 boyeven if you know somethings going to go wrong, you really want it to go right, so you just dont give up. I cant write other peoples drama, and I cant glamorize a microwave or anything like that, so I end up writing songs about things Ive experienced. Then, I got a whole albums worth of songs out
