I admit that we should keep 41 because “Your tears will only remind others of what happened, while your 42 can let them forget it.” But this is far from satisfactory. We should do 43 to make things better. I used to be a(n) 44 girl and not very good at maths. Our new
19、maths teacher asked me a question and I still remember how I hung my head in 45 when I couldnt answer it. “If you dont know the answer, just tell me.” the teacher said, “If you dont, how can I know 46 you know the answer or not?” All of my classmates burst into laughter.

26、 by digital entertainment.“We are in one of worst economies in 70 years. We are looking at everything we can possibly do to be more efficient and more effective,” ABC Entertainment president Steve McPherson told reporters on Friday.“We have to look at everything across the board from cost cutting to
27、 (using) other platforms for smart ways to broker our efforts. It is an ongoing process. It is not a one time thing.”McPherson, attending the networks semi-annual presentation to critics, said last years five month strike by Hollywood screenwriters had “really hurt everybody” in the traditional tele
28、vision industry, and he acknowledged the networks had lost viewers to other forms of entertainment.“The world has changed under these businesses and we need to be incredibly diligent and confident in what we do, otherwise we will be left by the wayside.” he said. “Tomorrow is here, now, and we reall
29、y need to figure it out now and move forward.”ABC, a unit of Walt Disney Co, has lost about 9.7 percent of its prime time audience in the 2008-9 season compared with the same stage last year.With the exception of current ratings leader CBS, the other two major U.S. networks Fox and NBC have also los
30、t similar percentages since the 2008-9 season started last September.McPherson said he hoped ABC would continue to “take chances” on shows such as “Lost” and “Dancing with the Stars” that were seen as daring when they were shown for the first time. But recent new entries, such as “Pushing Daisies,”
31、“Eli Stone” and “Dirty Sexy Money,” failed to resonate with viewers and were canceled.Despite the growing trend of watching television on iPods, on the Internet and on mobile phones, McPherson said ABCs main focus remained on broadcast.“We are still a broadcast network and that is where our profits
32、come from. The other platforms are important. But people ask “Would we do a show that would be successful on the Internet as opposed to on broadcast? . and those are always secondary thoughts,” he added. 56. The main idea of the passage is about_. A. the strike of Hollywood screenwriters B. the decl
33、ine of ABCs prime time audience C. ABCs feeling economic, digital pressure D. ABCs main focus on broadcast57. The 3rd paragraph suggests to us that_. A. cutting cost is the best way to recover from economic downturn B. the economic situation is so serious that it will last long C. using other smart
34、way can develop the ongoing process D. sparing no effort can complete the ongoing process58 .McPhersons attitude towards ABCs future is full of_. A. doubt B. confidence C. worry D. hope（B）You are only as old as you feel, it is said. But soon scientists will be able to calculate your real “physiologi
35、cal (生理的) age”. Researchers studying genes believe they can now tell exact physiological age by looking at a number of clues in DNA. They dont have to ask people how they feel or look at their appearance.The breakthrough could solve the mystery of why some 70-year-olds function at the level of those
36、 in their 50s, while others become weak sooner than you would think.The researchers made the breakthrough by finding the “biomarkers” of aging in tiny worms.The worms they studied had an average lifespan (寿命) of three weeks. Like humans, some remain lively much longer than other similarly-aged worms
37、, while others show signs of premature aging.By genetically profiling (基因识别) 104 different worms at various ages, the researchers found a group of genes that are involved in the aging process.This is a first step; our results were not perfect, but we were able to predict the ages of the animals 70 p
38、ercent of the time, which is far better than anything that has been done before,” said Simon Melov, the lead researcher at Buck Institute for Age Research in California.Now they want to extend their studies to mice and eventually humans.“I am confident that at some point there will be a non-subjecti
39、ve method of determining how old someone is with a high level of confidence,” said Melov.The speed at which people age depends on a number of things including genetic inheritance (遗传), lifestyle and mental health.Determining chronological (按时间顺序的) age in both worms and humans is easy count forward f
40、rom birth. But determining physiological age has remained subjective ? based on how someone looks or functions.The findings have major implications for age research in humans. Examining biomarkers over time would provide a scientific basis for anti-aging medicines. The technology would also provide
41、a means of determining whether a person is aging faster or slower than people would normally think.59. How can researchers tell ones exact physiological age?A. By looking at their appearance. B. By asking people how they feel. C. By looking at a number of clues in DNA. D. By finding the “biomarkers”
42、 of aging in tiny worms.60. What did the researchers base their survey on as their first breakthrough? A. Humans. B. Worms. C. Mice. D. Lifespan.61. The researchers found_. A. some 70-year-olds function become weak sooner than expected. B. anyone was as old as he was feeling.C. a group of genes were
43、 involved in the aging process. D. the speed at which people age only depends on their genetic inheritance.62. What is the best title of the passage? A. Genetically profiling B. Find your true age C. Worms and humans D. Research in humans（C） Everyones at it, even my neighbors. I thought I might be t
44、he only person left in the world who hadnt done an eBay deal. So I decided to try my hand at online auction (网上拍卖). Buying for beginners: Sign up on www.eBay.co.uk. Most items (e.g. tables, computers, and books) ready for auction will come with a picture and a short description; others may be marked
45、 with “Buy It Now” and have a fixed price. You can buy these right away.If the item is being auctioned, you offer the highest price you are prepared to pay and eBay bids（出价）for you .The bid will be increased little by little until it goes beyond your highest bid, then you are emailed and asked if yo
46、u would like to bid again. Auctions last up to 10 days, and when they finish you get an e-mail telling you whether you have won the item.How to pay: Sellers decide how they would like to be paid and you need to check this before placing a bid as you might not want to post a cheque or postal orders.
47、The easiest way is through PayPal, an online payment system that takes the money away from your credit card（信用卡）.Selling made simple: If you plan to sell on eBay, it helps to include a picture of the item. I followed my friends advice and put up the items I wanted to sell for a 10-day auction, start
48、ing on a Thursday. This way buyers had two weekends to bid.The big things in life: Its easy to post a small item, but furniture is a big part of eBay and this has to be collected or sent by deliverymen. Check the ways of delivery before you bid.63. What is the passage mainly about? A. How to make pa

51、e payment system C. by sending the money to the sellerD. by paying the delivery man directly (D)Calling the futureWhen American inventor Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone in 1876, it was a revolution in communication. For the first time, people could talk to each other over great distance
52、s. Over the last two decades a new means of spoken communication has appeared: the mobile phone. The mobile phone is like a two-way radio. But the two-way radio is a limited means of communication. As soon as the users move out of range of each others broadcast area, the signal is lost. In the 1940s
53、, researchers experimented with the idea of using a number of radio masts (无线电杆) to pick up signals from two-way radios. A caller would always be within range of one of the masts. When he or she moved too far away from one mast, the next mast would pick up the signal. (Scientists referred to each ma
54、sts reception area as being a “cell”. This is why in many countries mobile phones are called “cellphones”.)However, 1940s technology was just at the beginning. The “mobile phones” were huge boxes. They had to be moved by car.The first real mobile telephone call was made in 1973 by Dr Martin Cooper.
55、As soon as his invention was complete, he tested it by calling a rival (竞争对手) scientist to announce his success. Within a decade, mobile phones became available to the public.They have changed the way we do a lot of things. One powerful feature is: the short message service (SMS) or text message. It
56、s the perfect communication method for the busy modern lifestyle. The text message has changed the way we write in English. The language construction became more lax (松散的). Traditional rules of grammar and spelling are much less important.Over the last few years mobiles have become more and more adv
57、anced. We have seen the introduction of cameras, global positioning system and Internet access.Alexander Graham Bell would be surprised if he could see how far the science of the telephone has developed in less than 150 years. If he were around today, he might say: Thats gr8! But Im v busy rite now.
58、 Will call U 2nite. 67. The article is intended to_. A. warn people of the possible risks in using mobile phones B. predict the applications of mobile phones C. convince people of the uses of mobile phones D. inform readers of the history and benefits of mobile phones 68.
