They can take quiet walks along sandy beaches and among the thick green trees.One of the popular places for families with children is the Flying Horses Carousel in Oak Bluffs. It is the oldest continua
21、lly operated merry-go-round ride in the United States. The colorful wood horses that turn in a circle were created in 1876. One of the best places for children to swim is the Joseph A. Sylvia state beach. The water there is warmer and calmer. Families also enjoy the Felix Neck Wildlife Sanctuary whe
22、re they can observe much of the island wildlife.Visitors watch the sunsets sitting on the beach and on rocks in the fishing village of Menemsha. As the sun goes down in the sky it paints yellow, red, and other colors on the clouds. Fishing boats rise and fall with the waves. Bells sound to help guid
23、e the boats to land as darkness covers the water.Historians say British mapmaker Bartholomew Gosnold first made a map of the island for the rulers of England in 1602. Gosnold named the island to honor his baby daughter, Martha. The Vineyard part of the name came from the many wild grape vines Gosnol
24、d found on the island.

Recently another boy told Bill that he should “go Ajax” his teeth. Bill was crushed. If the other boy had been thinking, h
29、e would have realized that there is a better way to handle such a situation. He could have dealt with it with tact. He could have showed this hurtful truth in a more careful, sensitive waythats “tact”. If a person isnt sensitive to anothers feelings, there is no way he or she can be tactful. Yesterd
30、ay, my 5-year-old brother proudly announced that he had cleaned the screen on our television set. Unfortunately, he used furniture polish, which produced an oily film on the television screen. My mother smiled arid thanked him for his effortsand then showed how to clean the screen properly. Her sens
31、itivity enables my brother to keep his self-respect. Yet, sensitivity alone does not make tact. “Tactfulness” also requires “truthfulness”. Doctors, for example must be truthful. If a patient has just been disabled in an accident, a tactful doctor will tell the truthbut express it with sensitivity.
32、The doctor may try to give the patient hope by telling them curing techniques under study or about advanced equipment now available. Doctors must use tact with patients relatives as well. Instead of bluntly saying, “Your husband is disabled,” a doctor might say, “Im sorry, but your husband has lost
33、feeling in his legs and. . .”Tact should not be confused with trickery.

34、d to the benefits of it. It would also be thoughtful for the nurse to tell the patients about some of these benefits.

36、the following shows the structure of the passage? A B C D（The numbers stand for the paragraphs）CThe crisis(危机) at Japans Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear(核) energy center caused by the terrible earthquake has raised questions about the future of the nuclear energy industry. Arjun Makhijani is president of
37、 the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research in the United States. He says the disaster(灾难)in Japan is historic. This week, the chairman of Americas nuclear agency said there is little chance that harmful radiation(辐射) from Japan could reach the United States. Gregory also said America has a
38、 strong program in place to deal with earthquake threats. No new nuclear power centers have been built in the United States since nineteen seventy-nine. That was when Americas worst nuclear accident happened at the Three Mile Island center in Pennsylvania. The accident began to turn public opinion a
39、gainst nuclear energy. At present, about twenty percent of electricity in the United States comes from nuclear energy.German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Germany would close seven nuclear power centers while energy policy is reconsidered. The European Union is planning to test all centers in its tw
40、enty-seven member nations. Developing nations are less willing to slow nuclear expansion. China said it will continue with plans to build about twenty-five new nuclear reactors（反应堆）. And India, under a cooperation agreement with the United States, plans to spend billions on new centers in the coming
41、 years. Nuclear reactors supply fourteen percent of global electricity. Nuclear energy is a clean resource, producing no carbon gases. But radioactive waste is a serious unresolved issue. So is the presence of nuclear power centers in earthquake areas like the one near Bushehr, Iran. 58. We can lear
42、n from the text that America .

Wordless. D. Surprised. 61. The best title of the text is . A. Various Opinions on Japans Nuclear Disaster B. Ja
44、pans Disaster is Likely to Run out of Control C. America Feels Great Concern for Japans Nuclear CrisisD. Japans Disaster Throws Doubt on Nuclear Energy IndustryDIn a few years, you might be able to speak Chinese, Korean, Japanese, French, and English and all at the same time. This sounds incredible,
45、 but Alex Waibel, a computer science professor at USs Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) and Germanys University of Karlsruhe, announced last week that it may soon be reality. He and his team have invented software and hardware that could make it far easier for people who speak different languages to
46、understand each other.One application, called Lecture Translation, can easily translate a speech from one language into another. Current translation technologies typically limit speakers to certain topics or a limited vocabulary. Users also have to be trained how to use the programme.Another prototy
47、pe(雏形机) can send translations of a speech to different listeners depending on what language they speak. “It is like having a simultaneous translator right next to you but without disturbing the person next to you,” Waibel said.Prefer to read? So-called Translation Glasses transcribe(转录) the translat
48、ions on a tiny liquid-crystal(液晶) display(LCD) screen.Then theres the Muscle Translator. Electrodes capture the electrical signals from facial muscle movements made naturally when a person is mouthing words. The signals are then translated into speech. The electrodes could be replaced with wireless
49、chips implanted in a persons face, according to researchers.During a demonstration held last Thursday in CMUs Pittsburgh campus, a Chinese student named Stan Jou had 11 tiny electrodes attached to the muscles of his cheeks, neck and throat. Then he mouthed without speaking aloud a few words in Manda
50、rin(普通话) to the audience. A few seconds later, the phrase was displayed on a computer screen and spoken out by the computer in English and Spanish: “Let me introduce our new prototype.”This particular gadget(器械),when fully developed, might allow anyone to speak in any number of languages or, as Waib
51、el put it, “to switch your mouth to a foreign language”. “The idea behind the universitys prototypes is to create good enough bridges for cross-cultural exchanges that are becoming more common in the world,” Waibel said.With spontaneous(自发的) translators, foreign drivers in Germany could listen to tr
52、affic warnings on the radio, tourists in China could read all the signs and talk with local people, and leaders of different countries could have secret talks without any interpreters there.62. Which of the following statements is not TRUE?A. A lecture translation can translate what you said into ot
53、her languages easily.B. There is no Muscle Translator in the world now.C. Muscle Translators can translate what you think into speech if you just move your mouth.D.

57、nce.C. A fairy tale. D.

How arrogant (傲慢) and ignorant！Unfortunately, ther
58、e are still people who think that way: that somehow public transport is only for the poor. And the rest have a right to their cars. Some wealthy folk in the West look down on buses and boast (吹嘘) about how many years it has been since they last traveled by one.How sad is that? Our roads are packed w
59、ith cars and the air is full of the pollution they emit (排放). But still, many car users are unwillingly to get on a bus or a bike or a train to take themselves to work.Its convenient to drive, theyll say. Buses are so unreliable, theyll claim. And trains are expensive - at least in the UK.Its an att
60、itude which may have to change. It doesnt make sense to drive a car in a city where theres a public transport system.
