26、的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。AI made a promise to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts.The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting a B

27、iblical passage about husbands and their wives. Then he went on to say, “Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would change.And it did. On arriving at the beach cottage, I kissed Evelyn meeting me a

28、t the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks great on you.” “Oh, Tom, you noticed”, she said, surprised and pleased. Maybe a little puzzled. After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, “Evelyns been alone here

29、with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me.” We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, thats how the whole

30、 vacation passed. I made a new promise to keep on remembering to choose love.There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today. On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression. “Whats the matt

31、er?” I asked her.“Tom,” she said in a voice filled with distress, “I dont?”“What do you mean?”“Wellthat checkup I had several weeks agoour doctordid he tell you something about me? Tom, youve been so good to meam I dying?”It took a moment for it all to be understood. Then I burst out laughing.“No, h

32、oney,” I said, wrapping her in my arms. “Youre not dying; Im just starting to live.” 56. From the story we may infer that Tom drove to the beach cottage _.A. with his family      B. with Evelyn C. alone      D. with his children57. During the two wee

33、ks on the beach, Tom showed more love to his wife because _.A. he was determined to be a good husbandB. he had made a lot of money in his Wall Street firmC. she looked lovely in her new clothesD. the doctor said his wife was seriously ill58. The author says, “There was one thing that went wrong with

34、 my experiment.” What does “one thing” refer to?A. He praised her sweater, which puzzled her.B. She insisted on visiting a museum, which he hated.C. He knew something about her illness but didnt tell her.D. He was so good to her that she thought she must be dying.59. By saying “Im just starting to l

35、ive,” Tom means that _.A. he is just beginning to understand the real meaning of lifeB. he is just beginning to enjoy life as a loving husbandC. he lived an unhappy life before and is now starting to changeD. he is beginning to feel regret for what he did to his wife beforeBAs they migrate（迁移) , but

36、terflies and moths choose the winds they want to fly with, and they change their body positions if they start floating in the wrong direction. This new finding suggests that insects may employ some of the same methods that birds use for traveling long distances. Scientists have long thought that ins

37、ects were simply at the mercy of the wind.Fascinating as their skills of flight are, migrating behavior has been difficult to study in insects because many long distant trips happen thousands of feet above ground. Only recently have scientists developed technologies that can detect such little creat

38、ures at such great heights.To their surprise, though, the insects weren't passive travelers on the winds. In autumn, for example, most light winds blew from the east, but the insects somehow sought out ones that carried them south and they positioned themselves to navigate directly to their wint

39、ering homes.Even in the spring, when most winds flowed northward, the insects didn't always go with the flow. If breezes weren't blowing in the exact direction they wanted to go, the insects changed their body positions to compensate. Many migrating birds do the same thing.The study also fou

40、nd, butterflies and moths actively flew within the air streams that pushed them along. By adding flight speeds to wind speeds, the scientists calculated that butterflies and moths can travel as fast as 100 kilometers an hour. The findings may have real-world applications. With climate warming, migra

41、ting insects are growing in number. Knowing how and when these pests move could help when farmers decide when to spray their crops.60. Scientists originally thought that _.A. insects always waited for their favorable windsB. insects chose the winds they wanted to rideC. insects were just blown about

42、 by the wind helplesslyD. insects positioned themselves in the winds61. It is not easy to study the migrating behavior of the insects because _.A. their flight is long and high above groundB. the little creatures can fly very fastC. they have no regular migrating coursesD. the wind's direction i

43、s hard to foresee62. What is the passage mainly about?A. Insects immigrate like birds though they are passive travelers at the mercy of wind.B. Insects travel more easily than birds because they are smaller and more flexible.C. Insects rest a lot when the wind pushes them along.D. Insects are not so

44、 helpless during the process of immigration according to a new study.CMichelle Obama has just started a campaign against childhood obesity (肥胖) with the admission that she put her girls Malia and Sasha on a diet because they were getting fat. Clearly, childhood obesity must be solved urgently. But i

45、s it a good idea for mothers to put their daughters on diets?Studies show that the more children diet, the more likely they are to become obese as adults. Research also shows that girls are highly influenced by their mothers when it comes to eating habits and body image.This was the case for Carly,

46、40, who blames her mother for her lifelong struggle with weight. “My mother was on a diet the whole time I was growing up，” she says. “And she put me on my first diet when I was 10. I lost puppy fat, gained her approval and never ate normally again.”America's First Lady clearly has a vital healt

47、hy eating message to convey. But could this be damaging for Malia and Sasha? Could they develop eating disorders because of it?“It's wrong just to blame mothers for their daughters' eating disorders,” says Susan Ringwood, chief executive of the eating disorders charity. “There is a genetic (

48、基因的) component to eating disorders.” However, “We do know that parents have a very strong influence over a child's eating. It's important to realize that you are your daughter's role model. Girls idolize their mothers.” says Ringwood.“No food should ever be 'good 'or' bad'

49、;,” Ringwood says. Instead, “You have to make it clear that food is a sociable, healthy and fun part of life, not something to be feared.” “Talk to her about body image,” Ringwood says. “Talk about how curves are an important and exciting part of being a woman. Show her that anorexic (厌食的) fashion m

50、odels are not sexy, but ill. The pressure on girls today is immense,” she says. Never forget that you are the authoritative(有权力的) voice, too.63. Michelle Obama has started a campaign to _.A. solve childhood obesity across the countryB. attract the attention of the worldC. show her first lady identit

51、yD. please the public64. The author mentions Carly in Paragraph 3 to show that _.A. the more you diet, the more weight you will put onB. mothers have a great influence on girls' eating habitsC. mothers are to blame for the unbalanced dietD. side effects of dieting are hard to avoid65. According

52、to Ringwood, _.A. food is considered something fearfulB. food can be recognized as "good" or" bad"C. only slim mothers are role models of their daughtersD. eating disorder has something to do with genetic component66. It can be concluded that _.A. eating disorder always goes hand

53、 in hand with being slimB. girls are more concerned about body shapes than boysC. daughters tend to have a lifelong struggle with weightD. the author is against children's dietingD After years of hearing drivers complain about scratches (划痕) on their cars, Japan's Nissan Motor Company has of

54、ficially announced the next big thing-a paint that not only resists scratches and scrapes, but actually repairs itself within a few days. The new material, developed by Nippon Paint Company, contains an elastic rubbery-like resin (弹性树脂) that is able to heal minor (较小的) marks caused by car wash equip

55、ment, parking lot encounters, road debris (石头碎片) or even on-purpose destruction. The automaker admits its results vary depending on the temperature and the depth of the damage, but adds “this is the only paint like it in the world, and tests prove it works.” Minor scratches, the most common type, are said to slowly fade over about a week. And once they're gone, t
