Half asleep at the train station, I stared into the distance, 31 for the train to take me to my 32 in Boston. The world was quiet. The very few people on the street kept to themselves, 33 their steaming cups
11、 of coffee. Reaching into my pocket as the 34 was approaching, my numb hand searched for the $ 20 bill to pay my fare. The pocket was 35 ! I searched through my bag and then I felt 36 . Unless the money dropped from the sky, Id be 37 there. “Whats the matter ” A short, elderly man stood before me. “
12、Oh, nothingWell, I 38 my money and now I cant pay for the ticket. Im going to 39 my math class and the train is leaving.” “Here, use this.” The man held a $ 20 bill. I looked up, 40 . People just didnt do that any more. Everyone worried about their own 41 , rarely stopping to think about others, esp
13、ecially teenage strangers. “Thank you, but no, I cant.” “ 42 itgo!” The man pushed me 43 the train. I bought a round-trip ticket, and he refused the change I 44 to give him back. I did not know what to say a million thoughts raced through my mind, yet I stood 45 . For the train ride I was silent. I
14、began to see the world through 46 eyes. That man made a difference with such a simple 47 . A week later I was at the train station again, with an extra $20 48 I saw the man. And there he was. “Excuse me, sir, I believe I owe you this.” I 49 the money into his hand. Failing to refuse, he said, “Just
15、remember to do the same for someone in your shoes some day.” I smiled, 50 . The elderly man is my hero.

19、at changed the way I think about intelligence. There are two types of cognition. The first is normal cognition: the ability to regain knowledge from memory. The second type of cognition is metacognition: the ability to know whether or not you know. Does this affect intelligence In traditional educat
20、ion, intelligence is measured by cognitive ability. Some people can easily produce everything they know on a test. But others are awarded with poor grades and considered inferior. But does this inability make them any less intelligent If the question came up on a task, they could refer to a book or
21、a quick Google search. In reality theyre just as effective as the people that ace a test. They just cant prove it as easily. Metacognition is more important to success than cognition. A person with poor cognitive ability, but great metacognitive ability might do poorly in school, but when faced with
22、 a challenge, they understand their abilities and take the best course of action. For example, when faced with a question, a person with strong metacognitive ability will deal with it like this. If he knows the answer, but cant come up with it, he can always do a bit of research. If he knows for sur
23、e that he doesnt know, then he can start educating himself. Because hes aware of his ignorance, he doesnt act with foolish confidence. These people might not seem intelligent at first glance, but because they know what they know, they make better decisions and learn the most important things. Howeve
24、r, people with great cognitive ability but poor metacognitive ability may be considered excellent at a young age for acing every test and getting great SAT scores. Unfortunately, theyve been ruined by poor metacognition: they think they know everything but they really dont. They are overconfident, f
25、ail to learn from mistakes, and dont understand the slight differences of personal relationships, showing disregard for persons with lower cognitive ability. They may make the worst decisions. The most important mental power is the ability to know what you dont know. The recognition of a fault is th
26、e first step to improvement. Dont try to hide a lack of knowledge. For intelligent people this is the toughest lesson to learn. 【小题 1】 People with great cognitive ability tend to _. A do well in tests B be considered inferior C be more effective than others D do research when faced with a task 【小题 2
27、】 The underlined phrase “take the best course of action” probably means _. A starting educating himself B taking action during the course C making the right decision D coming up with many ideas 【小题 3】 People with poor metacognition may not succeed because they_. A lack basic moral values B have impr
28、oper self-evaluation C fail to communicate with others D show little respect for others 【小题 4】 The author probably supports the idea that _. A intelligence is measured by cognitive ability B cognition is the most important mental power C the toughest lesson is to distinguish the two types of cogniti
29、on D the awareness of ones ignorance contributes to ones improvement 答案：【小题 1】 A【小题 1】 C【小题 1】 B【小题 1】 D The word “conservation” has a thrifty meaning. To conserve is to save and protect, to leave what we ourselves enjoy in such a good condition that others may also share the enjoyment. Our forefath
30、ers had no idea that human population would increase faster than the supplies of raw materials: most of them, even until very recently, had the foolish idea that the treasures were “limitless” and could “last forever”. Most of the citizens of earlier generations knew little or nothing about the comp
31、licated and delicate system that runs all through nature, and which means that, as in a living body, an unhealthy condition of one part will sooner or later be harmful to all the others. Fifty years ago, nature study was not part of the school work; scientific forestry was a new idea; wood was still
32、 cheap because it could be brought in any quantity from distant woodlands; soil destruction and river floods were not national problems; nobody had yet studied long-term climatic cycles in relation to proper land use; even the word “conservation” had nothing of the meaning that it has for us today.
33、For the sake of ourselves and those who will come after us, we must now set about correcting the mistakes of our forefathers. Conservation should be made part of everybodys daily life. To know about the water table in ground is just as important to us as a knowledge of the basic math formulas. We ne
34、ed to know why all watersheds (上游集水区 ) need the protection of plant life and why the running current of streams and rivers must be made to give their full benefit to the soil before they finally escape to the sea. We need to be taught the duty of planting trees as well as of cutting them. We need to
35、 know the importance of big, grown trees, because living space for most of mans fellow creatures on this planet is figured not only in square measure of surface but also in cubic (立方体的 ) volume above the earth. In a word, it should be our goal to restore as much of the original beauty of nature as w
36、e can. 【小题 1】 The authors attitude towards the use of natural resources is _. A positive B uninterested C optimistic D critical 【小题 2】 According to the author, the greatest mistake of our forefathers was that _. A they had no idea about scientific forestry B they had little or no sense of environmen
37、tal protection C they were not aware of the importance of nature study D they had no idea of how to make good use of raw materials 【小题 3】 To avoid repeating the mistakes of our forefathers, the author suggests that _. A we plant more trees B natural sciences be taught to everybody C environmental ed
38、ucation be directed toward everyone D we return to nature 【小题 4】 How can you understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph A Our living space on the earth is getting smaller and smaller. B Our living space should be measured in cubic volume. C We need to take some measures to protect spac
39、e. D We must preserve good living conditions for both birds and animals. 答案：【小题 1】 D【小题 1】 B【小题 1】 C【小题 1】 D According to the United States government, people are classified as homeless if they have no place to stay and no expectation of finding a place for the next thirty days. Although technically
40、 accurate, that is an impersonal assessment of an enormous and very human problem. The homeless population represents all of us Americans. It includes men and women, the elderly, children, and infants. Its members are from all ethnic groups. What they have in common is poverty. Currently in the U.S.
41、, thirty-nine million people live in poverty. When money is really tight, paying the rent or buying food often becomes a choice. Government assistance in the form of food stamps does help but, as one homeless man explains, you cant pay the rent with food stamps. With no money for rent, the streets a
42、nd homeless shelters become the alternative. Although men make up the largest group within the homeless population, homeless women with children are rapidly joining them. In fact, one quarter of the homeless people in the U.S. are teenagers and young children. People may become homeless for numerous
43、 reasons. However, there are certain factors that many of these individuals have in common. They include a lack of adequate education and job skills. A majority of the teenagers and adults have not completed high school. The abuse of alcohol and drugs is also a common factor. One third of the adult
44、homeless population abuses alcohol, while one quarter of the same group uses drugs. Some members of this population suffer mental health problems. Within the past several years many institutions for the mentally ill have been closed and their patients sent “home”. Unfortunately, a number of those pe
45、ople have no home to go to and they are unable to adequately look after themselves. Job loss in todays economy has also become a real factor in the loss of peoples homes. The breakup of families through abandonment and divorce is also contributing factors, particularly when there are children involv
46、ed. The parent who is left to care for the kids with inadequate income may be forced to depend on the homeless shelters to put a roof over their heads. 【小题 1】 The writer thinks that the U.S. governments definition for the homeless shows _. A an insincere attitude toward the homeless B an unbearable
47、attitude toward the homeless C an uncivilized attitude toward the homeless D an unsympathetic attitude toward the homeless 【小题 2】 The U.S. government helps the homeless by _. A giving them homeless allowance B giving them food stamps C finding jobs for them D finding residence (a place to live) for
48、them 【小题 3】 People become homeless for all the following reasons EXCEPT _. A the lack of adequate education B the abuse of alcohol and drugs C the closure of institutions for the mentally ill D the poor performance of economy 【小题 4】 The breakup of families is likely to lead to homelessness because a parent with kids m
