was hungry so he decided to beg for a meal at the next house However he became nervous when a lovely young woman opened the door Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk He drank it slowly and then asked How much do I owe you You don t owe me anything she replied Mother has taught me never to accept pay for a kindness He said Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart As Haward Kelly left that house he not only felt stronger physically but it also increased his faith in God and the human race He was about to give up and quit before this point Years later the young woman became seriously ill The local doctors were baffled They 第 5 页 共 11 页 finally sent her to the big city where specialists could be called in to study her rare disease Dr Haward Kelly now famous was called in for the consultation When he heard the name of the town she came from a strange light filled his eyes Immediately he rose and went down through the hospital hall into her room Dressed in his doctor s gown he went in to see her He recognized her at once He went back to the consultation room and determined to do his best to save her life From that day he gave special attention to her case After a long struggle the battle was won Dr Kelly requested the business office to pass the bill to him for approval He looked at it and then wrote something on the side The bill was sent to her room She was afraid to open it because she was positive that it would take the rest of her life to pay it off Finally she looked and the note on the side of the bill caught her attention She read these words Paid in full with one glass of milk Signed Dr Haward Kelly Tears of joy flooded her eyes as she prayed silently Thank You God Your love has spread through human hearts and hands 51 After finishing the milk the boy A felt angry because what he was really hungry B regretted that he didn t ask for any food C felt more hungry than ever

Ayapaneco is dying Only two people in the world still speak it and they won t talk to each other Spoken in Mexico for centuries Ayapaneco is one of 68 surviving languages in the mainly Spanish speaking nation The two speakers are Manuel Segovia and Isidro Velazquez Though they live only 500 meters from each other in the village the two men seldom talk to each other Daniel an American expert who is working to make a dictionary of Ayapaneco says the two men don t have a lot in common and that Segovia can be active while Velasquez tends to mind his own business and stay at home While Segovia still speaks to his wife and son in Ayapaneco neither of them can manage 第 6 页 共 11 页 more than a few words Velasquez hardly speaks his native tongue any more Daniel is working to preserve the language in dictionary form before its last surviving speakers pass away According to Daniel Ayapaneco and the other languages began dying out with the introduction of public Spanish education in the mid 20th century For decades local children weren t allowed to speak anything else Many people to cities starting in the 1970s also helped the dying out of native languages Ayapaneco is the name given to the language Segovia and Velazquez call it Nuumte Oote which means true voice Neither man however speaks the same language The dictionary will contain two versions 版本 of the language when it comes out later this year Those behind the dictionary aren t the only ones trying to save Ayapaneco The National Language Institute plans to hold classes so that Segovia and Velasquez can pass on what they know to children It is thought that there are about 6 000 languages spoken on earth and that about half will disappear over the next 100 years Let s hope the true voice isn t one of them 55 Segovia and Velasquez seldom talk to each other in Ayapaneco because they A both dislike the language B don t get along well with each other C are too busy to talk to each other D don t share the same interests 56 Which are the main reasons why the language Ayapaneco started dying out a No teacher liked to teach it b Local children had to speak Spanish c many villagers went to live in cities d The surviving speakers didn t like to use it A a b B a c C b d D b c 57 How does the National Language Institute try to save Ayapaneco A Write a dictionary of Ayapaneco B Let Ayapaneco be taught at school C Introduce a public Ayapaneco education D Ask villagers to speak Ayapaneco 58 From the text we learn that the author A agrees that it is natural that Ayapaneco should die out B thinks Daniel s effort to preserve Ayapaneco won t work C thinks highly of Ayapaneco and wants people to learn it D hopes that Ayapaneco will not die out in the future C Researchers claimed that waitresses who wear red get up to 26 percent extra in tips than they would wearing other colors However the team finds that the sexes tip very differently with the bigger tips coming only from male customers No matter what color they wear female diners will give the same kind of amounts for service every time Yet men whether they realize it or not add anything between 15 and 26 percent more to a waitress in red than they would if it was the same waitress wearing a different color The test was simple Take 11 waitresses in five restaurants over a six week period and ask them to wear the same kind of T shirt every day but change the colors Previous research has suggested waitresses could earn more if they acted charmingly or wore more make up than their colleagues But this study by the Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Research only changed the color of the T shirt Every other aspect from make up to behavior remained the same When wearing either black white green blue or yellow T shirts the size of the tips from both male and female customers was almost identical But when they wore red the size of the tips 第 7 页 共 11 页 went up by between 15 and 26 percent from male customers yet stayed the same from female ones A total of 272 restaurant customers were studied by researchers Nicolas Gueguen and Celine Jacob for the international journal of the tourism industry Even as a T shirt it shows just how much the color red is thought by men to increase the physical and sexual attractiveness of woman said the researchers The researchers wrote As red color has no negative effect on women customers it could be in their interest to wear clothes at work 59 The underlined word identical in Para 4 probably means A different B similar C the same D close 60 According to the passage in the research by the Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Research waitresses could earn more by A wearing red T shirts B putting on attractive make up C changing the color of T shirts D behaving themselves 61 Which of the following is right according to the passage A Bright color can increase the physical and sexual attractiveness of women B Waitresses in red make no difference to female customers C Make up makes no difference to man customers D Whether male customers tips more or not depends on service 62 What is the main idea of the passage A People tip differently if waitresses wear different make up B Waitresses who wear red get more tips than they would wearing other colors C Male customers are more interested in the red color D Red color has no negative effect on female customers D What is a lifestyle and how is that different from a life A lifestyle is about brand names and buying identity or fame Lifestyle gives a false sense of peace and acceptability that comes from others recognizing what you ve bought into as well as bought If your car clothes and home are expensive you re sophisticated 世故的 and stylish If you have the right kind of job or go to the right social gatherings then you receive the insincere approval of others This means that your self esteem 自尊 is always at the mercy of others with no appreciation of you as an individual A life on the other hand is very different A life is what you lead when you know what matters most to you It is very simple and comes from being connected to what you know is important and being willing to put that first no matter what others may think When you create a life vs a lifestyle your self esteem comes from what s inside you not what others think about you Lifestyle is expensive financially and personally because it costs a great deal to keep up appearances and do what you think is socially acceptable A life is not expensive Rather than using personal or financial resources a life generates energy and staying power It s about liberating yourself from the mindless consumption that society expects It is about making the choices that are in line with your values instead of using up your bank account or energy for no heart driven reason How can you make the change Understand the difference between a life and a lifestyle Analyze your current lifestyle to see what is costing you in money time stress and energy to 第 8 页 共 11 页 maintain it Let go and make room for what is really important to you what supports you and brings you joy Remember who you are from within not what you own 63 Which of the following examples best explains what is life about A We work long hours in a job that we do not enjoy B We focus on what we wear or what kind of car we drive C We find out what our true beliefs and values are and choose to live by these D We think that how others see us is more important than what we think of ourselves 64 What method does the author use to explain his opinion in the third paragraph A Making comparison B Giving an example C Giving a definition D Giving a reason 65 To make the change we need to A be directed from within B be directed from outside C be driven by social values D be driven by others opinions 66 What is the author s purpose of writing this passage A To describe what life is B To introduce what lifestyle is C To promote life instead of lifestyle D To tell the differences between life and lifestyle E Military training has long been considered a ritual 仪式 that freshmen must go through in order to officially start their college lives While some question the necessity of such training Many students see military training as a campus tradition that should be maintained Ear
