While waiting in line, I 31 a Dad who was stressed out with his two sons waiting in line to buy a car seat for the younger child.
17、 The father asked if he could buy the display model because it would be 32 than the others. The cashier 33 that he could buy the display model 34 that there was no box for it. He said that was just 35 with him. Then he asked if there were any additional coupons (优惠券) to bring the 36 down just a litt
18、le bit more. The cashier was doing her best to 37 some coupons for this young father, but wasnt 38 much of anything in her drawer. I used to be a people-watcher, but as I 39 this for about five minutes, I was beyond 40 to help. Before I could really think about it, I found myself digging through my
19、41 for the 10 to 15 dollars in coupons. But I found nothing. I gave him $20 cash. The father said he couldnt 42 it, but appreciated my offer. The cashier was 43 in the same mode as I was in, wanting to help this young family and took the money toward his 44 with a smile on her face. The seat 45 comi

As the Dad collected his small children and began to 46 , he looked at me and said, “You really shouldnt have done that but I thank you so much-you just made certain that we will all get to eat today.” My reply was simple. Be it 47 or years from now, sim

25、Hood is a story to which more details have been added for nearly nine hundred years, and that has kept little of its original elements. The early folk tales of Robin Hood have nothing in them to suggest that the people are unfairly taxed, or that Robin Hood gave them his robbery for that matter. Rob
26、in Hood is not a liberator of oppressed (被压迫的) people; he is simply a thief and murderer. He may have started out with lofty (崇高的) ideals, but eventually failed to resist greed (贪婪) , and would do anything to get money. The early tales of Robin Hood contain graphic violence and cold murders. These c
27、asual killings decide the folk tales, making them bloodier than any twenty-first century movie. In one example, Robin meets a knight whose son has killed a fellow competitor in a match. The unlucky knight is forced to pay a bill of four hundred pounds, which he must borrow from the Abbot (修道院院长) of
28、St. Marys in York. Neither Robin nor the knight seems to mind much that someone has been killed. Instead the focus is on the money. This is a theme that runs throughout the stories of Robin Hood. It seems that Robin Hood has drifted away from his original idealistic beliefs by the thought, of shiny
29、gold coins in his own pocket jingling (发出叮当声) instead of the pockets of those for whom the gold was intended the poor. There is a saying: “He who seeks to destroy the monster must be careful not to become a monster in the process.” Apparently Robin never heard this proverb.51. Robin Hood became gree
30、dy because _. A. he needed much more money for the oppressed people B. he was forced to pay a bill for the murder he did C. he couldnt resist the temptation (诱惑) of more money D. he wanted to have more power52. According to the text, maybe the original idealistic belief of Robin Hood was _. A. to le
31、ad the oppressed people to struggle against the rich B. to help the poor with the money he robbed the rich of C. to provide foods to the homeless D. to help kids unable to go to school53. The proverb in the last paragraph most probably means that _. A. if we want to succeed, we must work hard B. we
32、should never chase after something one is not worthy of C. to be a great man, we must do what we should do D. to be a fair man, we must fight against unfair behavior54. The text is written to _. A. give readers a brief introduction to Robin Hood B. tell us about the cultural background of a book C.
33、sing high praise of the knights during the Middle Age D. tell us about the real stories about Robin HoodB When my son was just learning to talk, I carried him around the house in my arms and pointed out things to him. “Look, David, a clock” Hed smile and point as I did and say “clock”. David was qui
34、ck at connecting the shape of things to their words. When my son was about four years old, I walked with him to the backyard. I knew that there was an ant colony under one of the slate stones in the walkway near the shed, so I said to David, “Come on. I want to show you something.” As I showed David
35、 the ants that were crawling around the slate stone, he crouched down on his legs and looked with great intensity at the ants. For days after that, David wanted to look under every rock in the garden, and we often found worms, ants and so on. I recognized that David loved to look at things closely a
36、nd observe how things moved, and so I continued to point things out to him as he grew older: planes, cars, shells etc. David was a keen observer, and I just gave him the suggestions as to where to look. Today David is a medical doctor at Columbia University Center. I did not know that David would so
37、meday be a doctor, someone who has to pay close attention to what he sees, and yet I felt compelled when he was a boy to encourage his enthusiasm for observation. That is what teachers and parents do: encourage a childs enthusiasm for a particular interest: music, swimming, art, reading. And we prov
38、ide tools for the children. If a child likes to draw, give him brushes, pens, and paper. If a girl likes to tap on the table top, give her a drum. If a child wants to sing, give him a microphone and a Frank Sinatra recording.55. The author wrote the passage to _. A. recall the happy times he spent w
39、ith his son B. tell us that children are full of curiosity C. tell us how to let children love nature D. advise us to develop childrens interest or talent56. The author showed David the ants to _.A. prevent him from becoming boredB. develop his enthusiasm for observationC. teach him some new wordsD.
40、 arouse his interest in creatures57. Which of the following can best describe the authors viewpoint? A. Make children have their own hobbies. B. Teach children to be independent as soon as possible. C. Satisfy childrens interest by possible means D. Hobbies can determine ones future58. The underline
41、d word “intensity” in the third paragraph probably means “_”. A. hatred B. fear C. curiosity D. doubtC Do you wonder why you prefer chocolate to fish, science-fiction movies instead of romantic comedies or jazz rather than rock? The reason may have become obvious long before you were born, coming at
42、 the start of your family tree. Researchers recently looked into heritable (可继承的) effects on consumers shopping habits and discovered people appear to inherit-through genetics, fondness for specific products such as chocolate, movies, jazz, ears and mustard.“We found that many, though not all of the
43、m are in fact heritable or influenced by genetic factors.” said marketing professor Itamar Simonson in Stanford University and assistant marketing professor Aner Sela in the University of Florida.They surveyed fraternal (异卵性的) and identical (同卵性的) twins on their consumer patterns. Results show far m
44、ore similarities among responses from identical twins, who unlike fraternal twins share matching genes.Emily Easley said she can totally see shopping habits being genetic, based on her and her mothers shopping behaviors“We commonly purchase the same thing.” said Easley. “One time I came home and was
45、 wearing a new purple T-shirt with some floral design around the neck and found that my mom had bought the exact same one, in the same color. Its always just so interesting to visit her and see my exact clothing in her closet.” Researchers also revealed people seem to inherit other tendencies that a
46、ffect financial decisions such as choosing a compromise (妥协) option, avoiding extremes, and looking for the best option available. Dianne Marlz said her grandmother, mother, daughter and she all have shopped carefully in their lifetimes. “So is that inherit?” she asked. “It depends on your definitio
47、n. My children definitely got it from me, as I did from my mother and from hers. But I think its more a matter of having observed the behavior and decision-making process of the elder, who had the most impact on each of us. Some of it is definitely taught.” Researchers are quick to note they dont co
48、mpletely believe the effects of mature (养育) but rather want to illustrate nurtures and natures combined influence on consumer judgment and choices. “The current research suggests that heritable and other inherent preference components play a key role in behavior and deserve much more attention in ma
49、rketing and decision-making research.” they said in a statement.59. The author presents this passage mainly by _. A. providing several examples B. testing an idea by reasoning C. analyzing some data D. describing the result of a research60. Easley told a story of her mother to _. A. complain about h
50、er mother wearing her clothes B. prove her mother had no taste for clothing C. show her mothers genes influenced her in shopping D. express her gratitude to her mother for buying her clothes61. In the opinion of Dianne, _. A. parents should teach children hoe to do the shopping B. female family memb
51、ers like to go shopping C. spending money wildly is her family tradition D. shopping habits are more nurtured than inherit62. The passage mainly tells us that genes may _. A. influence the way you shop B. change your way of doing things C. lead to bad behaviors D. affect all your decisions greatly D
52、 Facebook is helping to save the environment. So is your iPhone. Surprised? I was too when I first realized it but after I thought about it for a while, I totally believed it was true. Lets start with your iPhone or other smart phones for that matter. How is that helping the environment? Think about
53、 it. Before, you used to have your phone, your camera, your mp3 player and your DS or PSP. Those are four electronic items. Each of these needs charging. Each of these came in its own packaging. Each of them was shipped individually from where they were made and each was likely picked up by you in s
54、eparate trips. Thats four times the carbon emission per product. By simply buying an iPhone you have cut down your carbon emission by three quarters. Thats not all. The digital content distribution provided by iTunes Store allows us to buy music electronically. This means there is no CD, no manufact
55、uring carbon footprint, and no shipping carbon footprint. The eBooks stores mean that we no longer have to ship books all over the world. Lets face it. Books are heavy and take up a lot of space (compared to a CD anyway). Theres a lot of carbon involved in making and shipping them. Even though the w
56、ood to make the paper usually comes from sustainable sources, the reduction in carbon is significant. Downloading apps mean that you save on all the games packaging and harmful chemicals involved in the production of all of the CDs and manuals. Another winner. Facebook is another example of where ph
57、ysical products are being converted into digital products. It is easy to upload hundreds and thousands of copies onto Facebook and have everyone cheek them out. To do this before youd have to print hundreds of copies and send them physically to people. Granted, you might not want to send all your ph
58、otos around but digital cameras and Facebook allow the photographers and the viewers to make decisions about which photos are worth keeping and which are not.63. What do we know about iPhone from the second paragraph? A. It is multi-functional. B. It contains four electronic items. C. It has no carb
59、on emission. D. It doesnt need packaging.64. IPhone can help to save the environment because _. A. it is easy to carry B. it needs to recharge C. it cuts down carbon emission greatly D. it is made of wood65. ITunes Store probably can help us to _. A. listen to music of high quality B. download music
60、 from the Internet C. make music by ourselves D. enjoy free music from the Internet66. We learn from the last paragraph that Facebook allows us to _. A. send photos to friends physically B. send photos around more quicklyC. print photos freelyD. upload digital photos E Located in the forests near th
61、e village of Harads in northern Sweden, the Treehotel opened its doors in the summer of 2010 and offers six guest rooms. Owners, Britta and Kent Lindvall, invited designers and architects to create a series of unique tree houses that reflect the growing popularity of ecologically-themed holidays. Th
62、eres the Mirrorcube, a 4 4 4 meter aluminum box in mirrored glass. Accessed via a footbridge, the Cabin is suspended from the surrounding pines on a steep bank, affording views of the Lulea River. Both these rooms sleep two people while the Nest (covered in branches), the Blue Cone (which is actuall
63、y painted red) and the UFO (a spaceship skewered by pines) all have enough room to sleep a family of four. The Treehotel was built after they saw a 2008 Swedish documentary (纪录片) called Tradalskaren (The tree lover) that tells the story of three men who build a tree house in an attempt to rediscover
64、 their rural roots after years of living in a city. The Lindvalls, who already owned and ran a nearby guesthouse, saw the chance to create a different kind of holiday experience. “When the film was over, interest in the original tree house grew so we decided to build our own, closer to our place.” K
65、ent Lindvall said, “The plan for next year is five new rooms. We also plan to build a chapel so people can get married up there.” Open all year round, the Treehotel might attract only the hardiest of souls during the winner as temperatures typically dip to around minus 15 degrees Celsius. But brave
66、travelers will be rewarded with stunning snowy landscapes as well as a “Tree Sauna” and under-floor heating in every room delivered by renewable energy.67. Britta and Kent Lindvall opened the Treehotel to _. A. draw attention to protecting forests B. meet the tourists demand for getting close to nat
67、ure C. introduce excellent ideas of designers D. Promote a peaceful lifestyle for citizens68. Which of the following rooms suits a couple most? A. The Nest. B. The UFO. C. The Cabin. D.
