Do you like
14、 yellow, orange, or red? If you do, you must be an optimist(乐观主义者 ), a leader, an active person who enjoys life,people and excitement. Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist(悲观主义者). At least, this is what psy
15、chologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colours preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings. They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favourite colour as we grow upwe are born with our preference. If
16、 you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.Colours do influence our moodsthere is no doubt about it. A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and c
17、heer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing. A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides(自杀)than any other bridge in the areauntil it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell down sharply; perhaps it
18、would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active. It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or
19、 grey.36 The sentence “You would rather follow than lead“ in paragraph 1 means that you would_.（A）like to lead followers（B） like to be a leader rather than a follower（C） be a member rather than a leader（D）be afraid of following others37 If one enjoys life, one is sure to prefer_.（A）blue to yellow（B）

The 23-year-old British farmer and her 21-year-old brother Ben are fighting to save the farm from the city developers that their father
23、 worked on since he was 14. While she is confident they will succeed, she lists farming s many challenges:“ You dont often get a day off. Supermarkets put a lot of pressure on farmers to keep prices down. With fewer people working on farms it can be isolating,“ she said. “There is a high rate of sui
24、cide and farming will never make you rich! “Oliver Robinson, 25, grew up on a farm in Yorkshire. But he never considered staying on his father and grandfather s land. “I. m sure Dad hoped I d stay,“ he said. “I guess it s a nice, straightforward life, but it doesn t appeal. For young ambitious peopl
25、e, farm life would be a hard world. “ For Robinson, farming doesn t offer much in terms of money or lifestyle. Hollins agrees that economics stops people from pursuing farming rewards: “ providing for a vital human need, while working outdoors with nature. “Farming is a big political issue in the UK
26、. “Buy British“ campaigns encourage consumers not to buy cheaper imported foods. The 2001 “food and mouth crisis“ closed thousands of farms, stopped meat exports, and raised public consciousness of troubles in British farming. Jamie Oliver s 2005 campaign to get children to eat healthily also highli
27、ghted the issue. This national concern brings hope for farmers competing with powerful supermarkets. While most people buy food from the big supermarkets, hundreds of independent Farmers Markets are becoming popular.41 Charlotte Hollins is talking about her feeling of a battle between_.（A）the poor a
28、nd the rich（B） farmers and city developers（C） small markets and supermarkets（D）young people and their parents42 In the eyes of Charlotte Hollins, _makes fewer people work on farms.（A）a low rate of suicide（B） rich life of farmers（C） hard life on the farms（D）high prices of farm products43 According to

30、eat export（D）ask children to eat British foods45 According to the passage, Farmers Markets are becoming popular because_.（A）thousands of farms are closed（B） farmers are the owners of the markets（C） more people are concerned about healthy food（D）Jamie Oliver s 2005 campaigns urge people to “Buy Briti
31、sh“45 No one knows exactly how many disabled people(残疾人)there are in the world, but estimates suggest the figure is over 450 million. The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada.In the United Kingdom, about one in ten people have some disa
32、bility. Disability is not just something that happens to other people: as we get older, many of us will become less mobile, hard of hearing or have failing eyesight.Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life. Some people are born with disabilities. Many others become disabled as t
33、hey get older. There are many progressive disabling diseases. The longer time goes on, the worse they become. Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness. All are affected by peoples attitude towards them.Disabled people face man
34、y physical barriers. Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends, imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps, or on to buses and trains. How would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic? But there are other barriers: prejudice can b
35、e even harder to break down and ignorance inevitably represents by far the greatest barrier of all. It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through, so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person
36、and their ability, not their disability, which counts.46 The first paragraph tells us that_.（A）the number of disabled people in India is the greatest（B） there are less than 450 million disabled people in the world（C） there are more than 450 million disabled people in the world（D）the number of disabl
37、ed people in India is equal to the total population of Canada47 The key word in paragraph 4 is_.（A）ignorance（B） prejudice（C） disability（D）barriers48 Which of the following statements is NOT true?（A）There are about 10 percent disabled people in the UK.（B） There still exists prejudice against the disa
38、bled because of ignorance.（C） Even the able-bodied might lose some of their body functions when they get older.（D）The whole society should pay attention to the barriers faced by the disabled people.49 The clause “which counts“ in the last paragraph means that_.（A）ability is the most important（B） dis
39、ability is included（C） disability is considered（D）barriers is the most important50 It can be concluded from the passage that_.（A）we should try our best to prevent disablement（B） we should take a proper attitude towards the disabled（C） the able-bodied will never fully understand the disabled（D）both p
40、hysical and mental barriers are hard to break down50 It is really a surprise that after hundreds of years, educationists have still failed to design anything more efficient and reliable than examinations. It is claimed that examinations test what you know, but it is common knowledge that they more o
41、ften do the exact opposite. They may be a good means of testing memory, or the skills of working rapidly under extreme pressure, but they can tell you nothing about a person s true ability.As anxiety-makers, examinations are second to none. That is because so much depends on them. They are the mark
42、of success or failure in our society. Your whole future may be decided in one fateful day. No one can show his best in worry, or after a sleepless night, yet this is precisely what the examination system expects him to do.A good education should, among other things, train you to think for yourself.
43、The examination system, however, does anything but that. What has to be learnt is laid down by a syllabus(教学大纲), so the student is encouraged to memorize. Examinations do not motivate a student to read widely, and they do not enable him to seek more and more knowledge. Furthermore, teachers themselv
44、es are often judged by the results of their students examinations. Consequently, they have to train their students to master exam techniques which they dislike. The most successful candidates are not always the best educated but the best trained.The results on which so much depends are often nothing
45、 more than a subjective assessment by some anonymous(匿名的)examiners. They certainly make mistakes, because they have to mark mountains of scripts(答卷)in a limited amount of time. They work under the same sort of pressure as the candidates.51 The main idea of this passage is that examinations are_.（A）a
46、nxiety-makers（B） reliable and efficient（C） harmful to education（D）good measures of memory52 It is clear that the author_examinations.（A）argues for（B） argues against（C） is indifferent to（D）is interested in53 The fate of students is decided by_according to the passage.（A）examination（B） teaching（C） edu
47、cation（D）learning54 According to the author, the most importance of a good education is to_.（A）encourage students to read widely（B） teach students how to tackle exams（C） train students to think on their own（D）encourage students to seek more knowledge55 Which statement is NOT mentioned in the passage
48、?（A）Examinations can make students anxious.（B） The examiners might make mistakes in marking.（C） Teachers work is judged based on the results of examinations.（D）Tools better than examinations to best students ability have been found.二、Cloze55 When I come across a good article in reading newspapers, I often want to cut and keep it. But just as I am about to do so I find the【C1】_on the opposite side is as much interesting. It may be a discussion of the way to【C2 】_in good health, or a report about【C3 】_tp behave and conduct oneself in society. If I cut the front article, the oppo
