As I was finishing my meal, an elderly couple

18、came in to dine. They were holding hands and had lovely smiles on their faces. They sat three tables from me. I was amazed at the love they showed for each other. It seemed to strike me greatly, because it was shortly after ending a 20-year marriage and I still had pain in my heart. My waiter was al

19、so their waiter. As I paid my bill, I inquired as to what their bill was. He informed me, and I gave him $40 to pay their bill. He asked if I knew them and I told him "No, I just wanted to repay them for the love that they were showing to each other," and then I departed. The next day I en

20、tered the restaurant to dine before my departure. After I had been seated, the waiter who served me the night before told me that the strangest thing happened after I left the restaurant. When the elderly couple went to pay for their meal, they were informed that it had been paid. When they inquired

21、 who had done this, the hostess told them they had no idea who I was, just retelling what I said. The couple were amazed. They looked around, asked for the bill of two young couples who were seated together, paid their bill and departed, saying "Love begets Love", to the amazement of the h

22、ostess and waiter. I smiled and said, “That's nice,” and proceeded to order my meal. About 45 minutes later, I finished my meal and was about to head out, but my waiter was nowhere to be found. I waited and waited and finally walked over to the hostess and explained that I needed to pay for my m

23、eal and hurry to the airport. She smiled and explained that I would not have to pay for my meal, because both the waiter and she felt compelled to pay my bill due to the joy that was brought to the faces of the elderly couple and the amazement of the young couples. When I told her that they didn'

24、;t have to do that, she said with a smile, “Love begets Love.”36. The writers purpose of writing the passage is to _. A. suggest love never dies B. share an interesting experienceC. encourage us to help people in need D. prove a show of love really makes a difference37. Why did the elderly couple pa

25、y the bill of the two young couples? A. Because they were always ready to help poor people.B. Because they were happy to pass the love they gained.C. Because they invited the young people to the meal.D. Because they didnt want to take the advantage of the writers generosity.38. Which of the followin

26、g has the closest meaning to the underlined word "compelled" in this passage?A. obligedB. forcedC. satisfiedD. determined 39. What can be inferred from the story? A. The writer did all this to prove his belief in love. B. The young couples paid the bill of other customers in the restaurant

27、. C. The waiter left on purpose and made the writer stay alone to test him. D. The love between the elderly couple deeply touched the writer who was single.40.

28、here is a way.C. As a man sows, so shall he reap (收获).D. Love me, love my dog.BWhen times get tough, we all look for ways to cut back. When were hungry, we eat at home instead of going out. We take buses instead of taxis. And we wear our old designer jeans just a few months longer. With college expe

29、nses at all-time highs, high school students are eager to do anything to cut the cost of a university education.One cost-cutting proposal is to allow college students to get a bachelors degree in three years instead of four. Educational institutions have been actively exploring ways to make the lear

30、ning process more efficient. But theres a question: Would the quality of undergraduate education suffer? Few US universities have formally approved a “three-year degree” model.I doubt that mainstream North American colleges will carry out a three-year curriculum (课程) any time soon. For one thing, mo

31、st universities already allow highly qualified students to graduate early by testing out of certain classes and obtaining a number of college credits. In addition, at famous universities, the committee who determine which courses are required and which courses are selective are unlikely to suddenly

32、“throw out” one quarter of the required credits. Professors will resist “diluting (稀释)” the quality of the education they offer.In my opinion, a quality four-year education is always superior to a quality three-year education. A college education requires sufficient time for a student to become skil

33、led in their major and do coursework in fields outside their major. It is not a good idea to water down education, any more than its not a good idea to water down medicine. If we want to help students find their way through university, we should help them understand early on what knowledge and skill

34、s they need to have upon graduation. We should allow students to test out of as many courses as possible. We should give them a chance to earn money as interns (实习生) in meaningful part-time jobs that relate to their university studies, such as the five-year co-op program at Northeastern University.

35、41. Which of the following can be the best title?A. Its time to shorten the learning process B. Best college education takes place over timeC. University education should be watered down D. College education calls for reform42. We can learn from the passage that _.A. most American universities are a

36、gainst the “three-year degree” modelB. many famous US universities are considering adopting the “three-year degree” modelC. professors are willing to accept the “three-year degree” modelD. The “three-year degree” model can make college learning more efficient43. In most US universities, _.A. college

37、 students are offered the co-op programB. selective credits make up one quarter of the required creditsC. all students are required to finish four-year education before graduationD. some excellent students can graduate ahead of time44. We can infer that _.A. the author is a college professorB. the a

38、uthor thinks the cost of a university education is too high for people to affordC. the author considers the university education quality very importantD. the author pays special attention to the life skills of college students45.

39、troduction D. commentCFive million people visit Grand Canyon in the US every year.

Box 129, Grand Canyon, AZ 86023Fires Because of the extreme fire danger, campfires are not allowed except at Mather and Desert View campgrounds. Collection of fir

41、ewood is not allowed either.HikingPlease stay on permitted paths. Otherwise you may destroy desert plants. Pack out what you pack in, so you leave no signs of your visit. It is important to keep in mind that you are in a national park where wildlife exists.WeatherThe weather at Grand Canyon can chan

42、ge very quickly. With so much rock, lightning causes a particular danger during sudden summer storms. These storms also frequently bring floods inside valleys, a danger to hikers. Watch the sky and check daily weather reports.WildlifeDo not feed park wildlife. There have been a few cases at Grand Ca

43、nyon National Park where deer were purposely shot because there were plastic bags that left them sick and weak. Hungry deer can be a danger and have kicked and bitten visitors at Grand Canyon.

To introduce the wildlife.DDoctors have long known that men and women experience their blues differently. Yet when doctor

48、s designed the guidebook they use to diagnose (诊断) psychiatric diseases, they made the descriptions gender-neutral. Today, evidence is mounting that in turning a blind eye to gender, they are actually doing their patients a disservice. As more researchers investigate sex differences in depression, t

49、he inescapable conclusion is that gender influences every aspect of these disorders. More recently, researchers have started to study the deeper differences. Perhaps the most important of these, and the one most frequently misunderstood by people of both genders, is the difference in symptoms expres

50、sed by women and men. For women, the primary emotion of depression is usually sadness. For men, it is more typically anger or irritability, often coupled with recklessness (不顾一切). As a result, many women and men, including depressed men, mistake male depression for general frustration and restlessne

51、ss rather than a serious disorder. Depressed men are also much less likely to seek help than depressed women, and they are much more likely to hurt themselves. The big question is whether the differences are a matter of nature or nurture (后天养育). Some researchers believe the brain chemistry of depres

52、sion is the same in men and women but that social standards do not let men express sadness, so they often have difficulty clearly expressing their symptoms. “Theyll say, Im not getting as much done, or I keep getting into fights with my girlfriend, rather than Im sad,” says Sam Cochran, director of

53、counseling at the University of Iowa. “But once we get past that, the symptoms are pretty much the same as for the female patients.” Cochran and others who emphasize the importance of cultural influences are increasingly in the minority. An ever growing body of evidence suggests that biology sets me

54、n and women apart in ways that have real consequences for mood and behavior. Not surprisingly, these differences emerge from the very substances that define gender in the first place: sex hormones (激素). Understanding the effects of these hormones on the brain may be the only way to make sure that ev

55、ery depressed patient gets the right treatment. The biochemistry of sex hormones in the brain, however, is difficult to study because the hormones themselves are hard to measure and their effects are so widespread. But the evidence is strong for a primary role in gross brain physiology. The male bra

56、in tends to be larger than the female brain and matures more slowly. 51. What did the author say of the action of describing the symptoms gender-neutral?A. It is quite reasonable for the clinicians to make it gender-neutral.B. Clinicians are unaware of the different responses male and female make.C. Doctors should have made the real conditions known to the public.D. It is better if patients could learn the truth from the researchers.52. According to the passage, when it comes to depressio
