With each passing day everyone became more 31 , waiting for the final school bell. Upon its 32 everyone would run for their coats and go home, everyone except David. David was a

Weeks passed and the 40 over the coming Christmas grew into restlessness until the last day of 41

14、before the holiday break. I smiled in 42 as the last of them hurried out the door. Turning around I saw David 43 standing by my desk. “I have something for you,” he said and 44 from behind his back a small box. 45 it to me, he said anxiously, “Open it.” I took the box from him, thanked him and slowl

15、y unwrapped it. I lifted the lid and to my 46 I saw nothing. I looked at Davids smiling face add back into the box and said, “The box is nice, David, but its 47 .” “Oh no, it isnt,” said David. “Its full of love.

20、： 31-35 ABBDC 36-40 CDADB 41-45 AACDB 46-50 DBACB 阅读理解 E It is true that good writers rewrite and rewrite and then rewrite some more .But in order to work up the desire to rewrite, it is important to learn to like what you write at the early stage. I am surprised at the number of famous writers I kn

21、ow who say that they so dislike reading their own writing later that they even hate to look over the publishers opinions .One reason we may dislike reading our own work is that were often disappointed that the rich ideas in our minds seem very thin and plain when first written down .Jerry Fodor and

22、Steven Pinker suggest that this fact may be a result of how our minds work. Different from popular belief ,we do not usually think in the works and sentences of ordinary language but in symbols for ideas (known as “mentalese”), and writing our ideas down is an act of translation from that symbolic l

23、anguage .But while mentalese contains our thoughts in the form of a complex tapestry (织锦 )， writing can only be composed one thread at a time .Therefore it should not be surprising that our first attempt at expressing ideas should look so simple .It is only by repeatedly rewriting that we produce ne

24、w threads and connect them to get closer to the ideas formed in our minds. When people write as if some strict critics (批评家 ) are looking over their shoulder, they are so worried about what this critic might say that they get stuck before they even start. Peter Elbow makes an excellent suggestion to

25、 deal with this problem. When writing we should have two different minds. At the first stage, we should see every idea, as well as the words we use to express it, as wonderful and worth putting down. It is only during rewrites that we should examine what we excitedly wrote in the first stage and che

26、ck for weaknesses. 68. What do we learn from the text about those famous writers A. They often regret writing poor works B. Some of them write surprisingly much. C. Many of them hate reading their own works D. They are happy to review the publishers opinions. 69. What do people generally believe abo

27、ut the way human minds work A. People think in words and sentences. B. Human ideas are translated into symbols. C. People think by connecting threads of ideas. D. Human thoughts are expressed through pictures. 70. What can we conclude from the text A. Most people believe we think in symbols. B. Lovi

28、ng our own writing is scientifically reasonable. C. The writers and critics can never reach an agreement. D. Thinking and writing are different stages of mind at work. 答案： 68-70 CAD D Remembering names is an important social skill Here are some ways to master it Recite and repeat in conversation Whe

29、n you hear a persons name， repeat it Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial Ask the other person to recite and repeat You can let other people help you remember their names After youve bee

30、n introduced to someone， ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you Most people will be pleased by the effort youre making to learn their names Admit you dont know Admitting that you cant remember someones name can actually make people relaxed Most of them will feel sympath

31、y if you say “Im working to remember names better Yours is right on the tip of my tongue What is it again ” Use associations Link each person yon meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual For example， you could make a mental note: Vicki Cheng - tall, black hair.” To reinforce (加强 ) your as

32、sociations, write them on a small card as soon as possible. Limit the number of new names you learn at one time. When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remembe

33、r their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later. Go early. Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. Thats fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear the

34、m being introduced to others - an automatic review for you. 64. How will most people feel when you try hard to remember their names A. They will be moved. B. They will be annoyed. C.

What does the text mainly tell us A. Tips on an import

36、ant social skill. B. Importance of attending parties. C. How to make use of associations. D. How to recite and repeat names. 答案： 64-67 CABA C We have met the enemy, and he is ours. We bought him at a pet shop. When monkey-pox, a disease usually found in the African rain forest, suddenly turns up in

37、children in the American Midwest, its hard not to wonder if the disease that comes from foreign animals is homing in on human beings. “Most of the infections (感染 ) we think of as human infections started in other animals,” says Stephen Morse, director of the Center for Public Health Preparedness at

38、Columbia University. Its not just that were going to where the animals are; were also bringing them closer to us. Popular foreign pets have brought a whole new disease to this country. A strange illness killed Isaksens pets, and she now thinks that keeping foreign pets is a bad idea. “I dont think i

39、ts fair to have them as pets when we have such a limited knowledge of them,” says Isaksen. “Laws allowing these animals to be brought in from deep forest areas without stricter control need changing,” says Peter Schantz. Monkey-pox may be the wake-up call. Researchers believe infected animals may in

40、fect their owners. We know very little about these new diseases. A new bug (病毒 ) may be kind at first. But it may develop into something harmful. Monkey-pox doesnt look a major infectious disease. But it is not impossible to pass the disease from person to person. 60. We learn from Paragraph 1 that

41、the pet sold at the shop may _. A. come from Columbia B. prevent us from being infected C. enjoy being with children D. suffer from monkey-pox 61. Why did Isaksen advise people not to have foreign pets A. They attack human beings. B. We need to study native animals. C. They cant live out of the rain

42、 forest. D. We do not know much about them yet. 62. What does the phrase “the wake-up call” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean A. a new disease B. a clear warning C. a dangerous animal D. a morning call 63. The text suggests that in the future we _. A. may have to fight against more new diseases B. m

43、ay easily get infected by diseases from dogs C. should not be allowed to have pets D. should stop buying pets from Africa 答案： 60-63 DDBA B “In only six days I lost seven pounds of weight.” “Two full inches in the first three days!” These are the kinds of statements used in magazine, newspaper, radio

44、 and television ads, promising new shapes and new looks to those who buy the medicine or the device of such products say they can shape the legs, slim the face, smooth wrinkles, or in some other way to beauty or desirability. Often such products are nothing more than money-making things for their pr

45、omoter. The results they produce are questionable, and some are dangerous to health. To understand how these products can be legally promoted to the public, it is necessary to understand something of the laws covering their regulation. If the product is a drug, FDA(Food Drug Administration)can requi

46、re proof under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act that it is safe and effective before it is put on the market. But if the product is a device, FDA has no authority to require premarketing proof of safety or effectiveness. If a product already on the market is a danger to health, FDA can request the p

47、roducer or distributor to remove it from the market voluntarily, or it can take legal action ,including seizure (查封 ) of the product. One notable case a few years ago involved an electrical device called the Relaxacisor, had been sold for reducing the waistline. The Relaxacisor produced electrical s

48、hocks to the body through contact pads. FDA took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the device on the grounds that it was dangerous to health and life. Obviously, most of the devices on the market have never been the subject of court proceedings (法律诉讼 ), and new devices appear continually, Before buying, it is up to the consumer to judge the safety or effectiveness of such items. 55. It can be inferred that ads mentioned in the text are _. A. objective B. cost
