The following may be some simple rules the beginners should follow. 1. When talking to strangers there i
13、s often no special form of address in English. Usually, if you want to catch the attention of a stranger, it is necessary to use such phrases as “Excuse me“. 2. In British English “Sir“ and “Madam“ are considered to be too formal for most situations. They are used mostly to customers in shops or res
14、taurants. While in American English “Sir“ and “Madam“ are not so formal and are commonly used between strangers, especially with older people whose names you don t know. 3. When you talk to some people you know, you can use their names. If you are friends, use their first names; if your relationship
15、 is more formal, use “Mr. “ “Mrs. “ “Ms. “ etc. before their family names. 4. There are many other forms of address which can be used between friends and strangers. However, many of these are limited in use. For example , “ pal“and mate“ can be used between strangers, but are usually only used by me

19、ike babies, say women. But maybe the fairer sex should learn something useful from these guysit could save their lives, say researchers at the University of Michigan. When women have a heart attack, they re more likely to put off seeking help than the men, and after an attack, they re less likely to
20、 take steps to improve their health. What s the reason for the different responses? The results of a survey suggest that women are too tough; they think heart problem are simply not a big deal. When Steven Erickson and his colleagues asked 348 men and 142 women who had been admitted to the hospital
21、for a heart attack about their symptoms and medication(用药情况 ), they found that even though the women had more symptoms and were taking more medicine they rated their disease as being no more severe than the men did.

25、ands of mud-brick buildings. If a group of researchers in India are successful, the earthquake might not be as destructive. British and Indian engineers are developing earthquake-proof housing using a cheap, universal material: bamboo. They designed a model house built around waterproof bamboo-sheet
26、 roofing and bamboo-reinforced concrete walls. To test the structure, the engineers, sponsored by the U. K. Department of International Development, took it to the Earthquake Engineering and Vibration Research Centre in Bangalore, which has a state-of-the-art earthquake simulator(模拟装置 ). The researc
27、hers shook the house with five house with five successive 30-second pulses, being equal to 7. 8 on the Richter(里氏)scale. The simulation was more than 10 times as violent as the Bam earthquake, yet the house emerged undamaged. “We didnt even crack the paint,“ says engineer Paul Follett, of Britains T
28、imber Research and Development Association. By some estimates, more than a billion people already live in bamboo structures. The innovation lies in developing ways to exploit bamboo s spring. Easily pre-built, fire resistant, and far lighter than steel, bamboo-based structures could be assembled in
29、three weeks and last 50 years. At five dollars a square foot, they would last roughly half as much as brick-and-block constructions. Follett says the project will follow an “ open source“ model: “ Whatever is developed is freely available for the common good. “41 Thousands of people died in the Bam
30、earthquake mainly because_.（A）the earthquake occurred in the cold December（B） many mud-brick houses collapsed（C） the earthquake reached 7. 8 on the Richter scale（D）bamboo houses hadnt been built yet42 The phrase “universal material“(Paragraph 1)refers to a material that can be found_.（A）everywhere i

32、amage by earthquakes（B） explore the functions of bamboo（C） build bamboo houses for a billion people（D）design bamboo house models45 Which of the following are the advantages of bamboos in building houses?I . Cheap to get. II. Light to carry. III. Easy to build. （A）I and II.（B） II and III（C） I ,II And
33、 III（D）I and III45 Play is the basic business of childhood, and in recent years research has shown the great importance of play in the development of a human being. From earliest infancy(婴儿), every child needs opportunity and the right materials for play, and the main tools of play are toys. The mai
34、n function of toys is to suggest, encourage and play. To succeed in this, they must be good toys, which children will play with often, and will come back to again, and again. Therefore it is important to choose suitable toys for different stages of a child s development. In recent years research on
35、infant development has shown that the standard a child is likely to reach, within the range of his inherited(遗传的)abilities, is largely determined in the first three years of his life. So a baby s ability to benefit from the right play materials should not be underestimated. A baby who is encouraged,
36、 talked to and shown things and played with, has the best chance of growing up successfully. In the next stage, from three to five years old, curiosity knows no bounds. Every type of suitable toys should be made available to the child, for trying out, experimenting and learning, for discovering his
37、own particular ability: Bricks and jigsaws(七巧板)and construction toys; painting, scribbling(涂鸦)and making things; sand and water play; toys for imaginative and pretending playthe first social games for learning to play and get on with others. But at the third stage of play developmentfrom five to sev
38、en or eight years oldthe child is at school. But for a few more years play is still the best way of learning, at home or at school. It is easier to see which type of toys the child most enjoys. Until the age of seven or eight, play and work mean much the same to a child. But once reading has been ma
39、stered, then books become the main source of learning. Toys are still interesting and valuable, which lead up to new hobbies, but their significance has changedto a child of nine or ten years old, toys and games mean, as to adults, relaxation and fun. 46 According to the first paragraph we know that
40、 as a child grows up_.（A）he should be allowed to choose his own toys（B） he should be given the same toys（C） he should be given different toys（D）he should be given fewer and -fewer toys47 According to the passage, the abilities a child has inherited from his parents_.（A）determine his character（B） wil
41、l not change after the age of three（C） partly determine the standard he is likely to reach（D）to a large extent determine the choice of toys48 We learn from the passage that a child has boundless curiosity_.（A）when he is two（B） when he is around four（C） when he is six（D）when he is eight49 Which of th
