Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention, and especially if it s given from the heart. When people are talking, theres
14、no need to do anything but receive them. Listen to what they re saying. Care about it. Most times caring about it is even more important than understanding it. Most of us dont value ourselves of our love enough to know this. It has taken me a long time to believe in the power of simple saying “Im so
15、 sorry“ when someone is in pain.One of my patients told me that when she tried to tell her story people often interrupted to tell her that they once had something just like that happening to them. Her pain became a story about themselves. Eventually she stopped talking to most people. We connect thr
16、ough listening. When we interrupt what someone is saying to let them know that we understand, we move the focus of attention to ourselves. When we listen, they know we care.I have even learned to respond to someone crying by just listening. In the old days I used to reach for the handkerchiefs, unti
17、l I realized that passing a person a handkerchief may be just another way to shut him down, to take them out of their experience of sadness. Now I just listen. When they have cried all they need to cry, they find me there with them.This simple thing has not been that easy to learn. It certainly went
18、 against everything I had been taught since I was very young. I thought people listened only because they were too shy to speak or did not know the answer. But now I know that a loving silence often has far more power to heal than the kindest words.31 What does the author value most in the communica
19、tion with each other?（A）Deep understanding.（B） Saying “I m sorry“.（C） Attention from heart.（D）Doing nothing.32 The woman patient stopped telling her story to most people because_.（A）she didn t get enough respect from others（B） she was discouraged by being often interrupted（C） people often told her t
20、heir own opinions（D）people couldn t understand her sad situation33 If you hand a handkerchief to someone crying, you may _.（A）hurt his feelings（B） make him embarrassed（C） encourage him to continue to cry（D）stop him from letting out his sorrow34 It can be inferred from the passage that while communic

22、lent.（B） Just listen.（C） Be careful.（D）Tell your own story.35 Someday in the future we may not have money in our pockets. Is life easier when people dont need to carry any coins for currency at all? Is money heavy to carry? Is it safe to carry money? Maybe in the future each of us will have only one
23、 small plastic credit card. We will use it to buy all the things we now buy with money. We will not need money to pay for things.Of course we may still have some of the same problems with cards that we now have with money. Sometimes we lose money. Maybe we will lose cards. People steal money. Maybe
24、someone will take the card. Someone may even make a card that looks like our card. Since we cannot buy anything without our cards, the credit card may be no better than currency.Is there something even easier to use than credit cards? All of us have a thumbprint. No two thumbprints are the same. May
25、be someday the government will keep people s thumbprints with a number. No person will have the same thumbprint or number. When you want to buy something you will put your thumb on a machine or a computer. Each store or business will have one. Everyone s thumbprint will be in the computers. It will
26、be very difficult to lose our thumbprints. It will be difficult for someone to steal it or make one like it.36 What does the word “currency“ in the Para. 2 most probably mean?（A）Plastic cards.（B） Paper money.（C） Coins.（D）Money.37 Which of the following sentences is the main idea of the second paragr

The
30、 audience sits in the auditorium structure and watches the actors perform in the stage house. This separation is more than an aesthetic impression, because the building codes require that a physical barrier protect the audience from a fire starting on the stage. A fireproof wall, rather than a mere
31、partition separates the structures, and this separation is completed by a fireproof curtain that is rigged(操纵)to fall automatically and close the proscenium opening in case of fire. Automatic fire doors similarly close all other openings between the two structures. The codes keep such openings to a
32、minimum.This separation designed in the nineteenth century in the United States is seen as a result of theater fires. It has produced a fundamental structural change from previous centuries without making much corresponding change in the appearance of the building. Most theaters of the sixteenth to
33、eighteenth centuries were remodeled from banquet hall, tennis court, and other rectangular(长方形的)halls, and remained essentially a single structure with a thin partition for the proscenium wall.So far as the audience is concerned, a theater is primarily a place for entertainment. Its great attraction
34、 is the opportunity it affords for different experience. The audience approaches the theater with the expectation of some forms of glamour excitement, or emotional vividness. The architect and the decorator try to sustain and increase this excitement and anticipation as the spectator moves through t
35、he theater. One of the familiar architectural devices for this effect is spaciousness of lobby, and auditorium. Color and decoration are other devices for the same purpose, as seen in almost all theaters built before the twentieth century.41 According to the passage, what distinguishes many present-
36、day theaters from those built prior to the nineteenth century?（A）Large entrance, lobby and auditorium.（B） Two buildings separated by an arch.（C） Attractive interior decorations.（D）Separate stages for each act.42 It can be inferred from the passage that which of the following materials would not be u
37、sed to build a proscenium arch?（A）Wood.（B） Concrete.（C） Metal.（D）Marble.43 Why was it necessary to change the fundamental structure of theaters in the nineteenth century?（A）The curtain became a necessity as production grew longer.（B） The auditorium had to accommodate more spectators.（C） Modern plays
38、 required stage areas.（D）There were too many theaters fires.44 Where in the passage does the author mention the designs of theaters built before the nineteenth century?（A）Paragraph 1.（B） Paragraph 2.（C） Paragraph 3.（D）Not mentioned.45 In paragraph 3, the word “it“ refers to_.（A）attraction（B） theater
39、（C） audience（D）entertainment45 Everyone is exposed to it, so naturally some people will imitate what they see on TV, what they read in the newspapers and what they witness every day. It is better to prevent violence than to try to stop it. Dentists tell you to brush your teeth to prevent cavities(蛀牙
40、 )so they wont have to fill the cavity later. People and lawmakers all over the world realize this. The next question is, “How do you prevent violence from happening?“To answer this question, you may ask yourself, “What causes violence?“ Guns are definitely something used in acts of violence, but ju
41、st about anything will do. Bare hands are often the weapons. What we have to do is to work together, as a community and make violence wrong but not to tolerate. Weve got to find a better solution than jails, and we ve got to do it now. It s not something that can wait. The message “Violence is wrong
42、“ has got to be everywhere you look on TV, on street signs, buses, radio, in every kind of languageEnglish, Spanish, French, Hebrew, you name it, so that it can reach all kinds of people. People need to be cool. Violence needs to be labeled as foolish. It cannot be machismo(大男子气概)and toughness.We ca
43、n reach people in all kinds of ways. Little reminders that “Violence is wrong“ can show up in any way, shape or form: chain letters, a million dollars to anyone who can make a video showing 30 acts of kindness, flyers, newspaper ads, contests in schools, a free TV ad to the most peace-loving company
44、 and much more. To do so, lots of people have to be willing to work together and break the cycle.46 The pronoun “it“ in the first paragraph refers specifically to_.（A）TV program（B） violence（C） newspaper articles（D）what they see every day47 What do lawmakers all over the world realize?（A）They realize
45、 the importance of brushing teeth every day.（B） They realize how important it is to prevent cavities.（C） They realize that it is more important to prevent violence from happening.（D）They realize that trying to stop crime is as important as the prevention of crime.48 According to the passage, what is
46、 the total solution to violence?（A）Strict control on the possession of guns.（B） Strict sentences.（C） To put those who commit crimes into prison.（D）To make everyone aware that violence is wrong.49 Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way to remind people of the concept “ Violence is wrong“ ?（
47、A）Ads in newspapers.（B） Three-minute free ads on TV.（C） Chain letters.（D）Contests in schools.50 We can learn from the passage that_.（A）it is urgent to spread the word that violence is wrong（B） willingness to cooperate is the key to the prevention of street crimes（C） the author seems to preach non-vi
48、olence against crimes（D）it is difficult to identify the causes of violence50 “Don t defeat yourself by accepting common myths,“ says the head of an international company.Myth 1: If there s nothing available in your field, change careers.Fact 1: That s one of the worst things you can do. You compete
49、against others with experience, and you will not approach your old salary level on a new job.Myth 2: Lower your salary demands. Youll be more attractive to employers in an uncertain economy.Fact 2: People who ask for less are viewed as “low property“. If you are considered anything less than first-class, you are not likely to be hired.Myth 3 : If you are over 50,
