22、or kids rushing out from between parked cars and slowed down. Suddenly, a brick sailed out andWHUMP！it hit the Jags shiny black side door! Immediately Josh stopped the car, jumped out，seized the kid and pushed him up against a parked car. He shouted at the kid, “What was that all about and who are y

23、ou? Just what the heck are you doing?!” Building up a head of steam，he went on, “Thats my new Jag，that brick you threw will cost you a lot of money. Why?”“Please, mister, please. Im sorry! I didnt know what else to do!” begged the youngster. “I threw the brick because no one else would stop!” Tears

24、were streaming down the boys face as he pointed around the parked car. “Its my brother, mister,” he said. “He fell out of his wheelchair and I cant lift him up.” Sobbing, the boy asked the businessman, “Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? Hes hurt and hes too heavy for me.”Mov

25、ed beyond words，the young businessman felt no anger. He lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scrapers and cuts，checking to see that everything was OK. He then watched the younger brother push him down the sidewalk.It was a long walk back to the ca

26、r-a long and slow walk. Josh never did fix the side door of his Jaguar. He kept the dent(凹痕)to remind him not to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at him to get his attention. Feel for the bricks of life coming at you.36.

27、_.A. the businessman drove at a high speed B. he envied the brand­new car very muchC. he wanted to get help from the driver D. he wanted to ask for some money 37. What can we learn about Josh?A. Josh would accept the money from the kids. B. The two kids were Joshs neighbors.C. Joshs new car bro

30、e remain“too shy” to express love for them，according to an online survey. The survey of around 6,000 people, conducted by Beijing­based recruitment（招聘） website Z, was made as the nation is prepared for Mothers Day on Sunday. Although 74.6 percent of participants(参加者) said they knew their mother

31、s birthday, only 25.5 percent would like to actually tell her “I love you”. “This figure suggests mothers occupy(占据) an important place in most participants mind. Yet, many people still find it embarrassing to express their affection.” the surveys organizer said.As to the form of celebration on Moth

32、ers Day, 67 percent of participants said they would prepare some gifts, with 70 percent saying that they would spend no more than 500 Yuan(74 US dollars), while 51 percent said they planned to phone their mother because they would either be too busy at work or be away from home. “I do love my mother

33、 deeply but I have never said I love you that often. It just feels quite weird for me to say it to her in person,”said Stella Wang, a 27­year­old office worker, noting that she prefers to express her feelings in writing on birthday or Christmas cards.“I have to say that its difficult for m

34、e to express my love for my mother. I think if I did say it out loud, it might confuse her, ”said Liang Hao, a 32­year­old engineer.“Very few Chinese, at least those I know, are used to saying I love you. they may never even say it once,” said Mike Denver, an American working in Shanghai a

35、s an English teacher.Hu Shoujun, a sociology professor from Shanghais Fudan University said,“The personality of the Chinese people is generally quiet, reserved and serious. For Chinese, its unnecessary and even regarded as weird to display their affection for relatives and friends.”40. The cause of

36、conducting the poll is to _.A. find out how the Chinese will express their love to parentsB. make preparations for Mothers DayC. survey how many people will say “I love you” to their parentsD. survey what the Chinese will do on Mothers Day41The underlined word “weird” in the passage can best be repl

37、aced by_.A. shy B. impossible C. odd(古怪的) D. unnecessary42According to the passage，how many participants will say“I love you”to parents?A. About 2,300. B. Around 1,350 C. About 1,530. D. About 4,200.CSometimes, the simplest ideas are the best. For example, to absorb（吸收）heat from the sun to heat wate

38、r, you need large, flat（平的）, black surfaces. One way to do that is to build those surfaces specially, on the roofs of buildings. But why go to all that trouble when cities are full of black surfaces already, in the form of asphalt (柏油) roads?Ten years ago, this thought came into the mind of Arian de

39、 Bondt, a Dutch engineer. He finally persuaded his boss to follow it up. The result is that their building is now heated in winter and cooled in summer by a system that relies on the surface of the road outside.The heat collector is a system of connected water pipes. Most of them run from one side o

40、f the street to the other, just under the asphalt road. Some, however, dive deep into the ground.When the street surface gets hot in summer, water pumped（用泵抽出）through the pipes picks up this heat and takes it underground through one of the diving pipes. At a depth of 100 metres lies a natural aquife

41、r (蓄水层) into which several heat exchangers (交换器) have been built. The hot water from the street runs through these exchangers, warming the groundwater, before returning to the surface through another pipe. The aquifer is thus used as a heat store.In winter, the working system is changed slightly. Wa

42、ter is pumped through the heat exchangers to pick up the heat stored during summer. This water goes into the building and is used to warm the place up. After performing that task, it is pumped under the asphalt and its remaining heat keeps the road free of snow and ice.43. Which of the following is

43、true according to the first two paragraphs ?A. Arian de Bondt got his idea from his boss.B. Large, flat, black surfaces need to be built in cities.C. The Dutch engineer s system has been widely used.D. Heat can also be collected from asphalt roads.44. For what purpose are the diving pipes used?A. To

44、 absorb heat from the sun.B. To store heat for future use.C. To turn solar energy into heat energy.D. To carry heat down below the surface.45. From the last paragraph we can learn that_.A. some pipes have to be rearranged in winterB. the system can do more than warming up the buildingC. the exchange

45、rs will pick up heat from the street surfaceD. less heat may be collected in winter than in summer46. What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?A. What we shall do if the system goes wrong.B. What we shall do if there are no asphalt roads.C. How the system cools the building

46、in summer.D. How the system collects heat in spring and autumn.DComputers are very important to modern life. Many people think that in the future computers will be used in lots of everyday life. It is thought that we wont have to go shopping because we will be able to get most things which are sold

47、in shops on the Internet. There will be no more books because we will be able to get all texts from computers. The Internet will be used to play games, see films and buy food. Most telephone calls will be made by computers, too.Some people are glad about these new ways of shopping and communicating(

48、交际). Others do not think that computers will replace our old ways.Lets look at books, for example. Some people think that one day we will not read books made of paper. Instead, we will buy and read books using computers. We will read texts on small pocket computers. The computers will keep many diff

49、erent books in them at the same time. We wont need to turn lots of pages and paper will be saved. Computerized(计算机化) books will be used more and more.Is Internet shopping such a pleasure as going to the shop? Many people say it is not. It is a pleasure to go in to shops and look at things you want t

50、o buy. It is also unlikely that many people will want to read large texts on our computers. Because paper books will perhaps be more friendly. Maybe computers wont change these two habits.47. In paragraph(段落)1 it is thought people will use computers for _.A. playing games, shopping and making teleph

51、one callsB. making telephone calls, having meals and seeing filmsC. seeing films, buying food, and going for holidaysD. playing games, making telephone calls and seeing the doctor48. Which reason for using computerized books is NOT said in the passage?A. We wont need any paper. B. Computerized books

52、 wont be very expensive. C. We wont have lots of pages. D. Computers can keep many different books in them.49. Paragraph 4 tells _.A. about computerized booksB. about the old and new ways of shopping and communicatingC. if the Internet will change our habitsD. about future uses of computers50. The t

53、itle for this passage is _.A. Computers will Replace Shops and Books B. Are Computers the FutureC. Computers will Do Everything for Man D. How Computers Change Our Habits 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多选项。What is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow, orange, red? _51

54、_. Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colour preference, as well as the effect t

55、hat colours have on human beings. _52_ . If 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._53_. A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to

56、the saddest winter day. _54_ . 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 area-until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply. Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue._55_. It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and ha
