26、h. Since the beginning of time, men have looked for this extremely valuable item, gold.Gold is soft and easy to form into different objects. If it gets wet, it does not rust like iron or other metals. Acids do not change it. One important reason that gold is so valuable is that it is scarce.Due to i

27、ts softness, gold must be combined with other metals to harden it and give it strength. By hardening gold, people can then make coins and jewelry with it. Metals commonly mixed with gold are nickel, platinum, and copper. Gold jewelry bears a number and the letter K. The K means karat(carat), which i

28、s a measure of the amount of pure gold in the jewelry. Pure gold is 24K.

Sustainable transportation is about combining economic, social and environmental factors into decis

32、ions that affect transportation activity. In economic aspect, we need a transportation system that is efficient. In social aspect, our transportation system must be safe and easy to be reached. In addition, we need a transportation system that respects the natural environment. It is not always easy

33、to balance these three factors but there are also win-win-win opportunities.Sustainable transportation is important.

34、social and economic consequences. Sustainable transportation calls for ensuring that the environment is considered along with economic and social considerations in transportation decision-making.Environmental influences of transportation include air and water pollution, greenhouse effects, and the u

35、se of land and other natural resources.

39、Passage 3Questions 66-70 are based on the following passageAccording to psychologists(心理学家), an emotion is aroused when a man or animal views something as either bad or good. When a person feels like running away from something he thinks will hurt him, we call this emotion fear. If the person wants

40、to remove the danger by attacking it, we call the emotion anger. The emotions of joy and love are aroused when we think something can help us. An emotion does not have to be created by something in the outside would. It can be created by a persons thoughts.Everyone has emotions. Many psychologists b

41、elieve that infants are born without emotions. They believe children learn emotions just as they learn to read and write. A growing child not only learns his emotions but learns how to act in certain situations because of an emotion.Psychologists think that there are two types of emotions: positive

42、and negative. Positive emotions include love, liking, joy, delight and hope. They are aroused by something that appeals to a person. Negative emotions make a person unhappy or dissatisfied. They include anger, fear, despair, sadness and disgust. In growing up, a person learns to cope with the negati

43、ve emotions in order to be happy.Emotions may be weak or strong. Some strong emotions are so unpleasant that a person will try and means to escape from them. In order to feel happy, the person may choose unusual ways to avoid the emotion. Strong emotions can make it hard to think and to solve proble

44、ms. They may present a person from learning or paying attention to what he is doing. For example, a student taking an examination may be so worried about failing that he cannot think properly.

48、sed on the following passageA gloomy afternoon saw me taking my routine path through that construction site. For the walkers convenience, a set of stone steps had been built, which were fairly steep. That was the place I found myself behind a husband and wife climbing up the steps with each others s

49、upport.The couple seemed to be farmers in their forties. The wife in a red coat was walking with a stick, an empty trouser leg swaying below. With one hand on his shoulder, she leaned almost entirely on her husband, who carefully kept balance with her and carried her other stick. They limped(跛行) the

50、ir way upward with great difficulty. My curiosity urged me to overtake them and look back over my shoulder secretly. The glance sent a shiver through me, which produced a sensation I had never experienced before. The husband himself was also disabled -blind in both eyes! What struck me even more was

51、 the smile they both wore on their faces, such a happy smile as could only be seen from birds and bridegrooms. With few words between them, they smilingly helped each other struggle upwards.Then I noticed there were patches on their clothes, and their cloth shoes were homemade, worn-out but tidy. Ho

52、w could such sweet smiles reconcile(使和谐) with the patched clothing or the physical handicap? I got quite puzzled. When they advanced far ahead I still couldnt tear my eyes away from them, I was moved and my heart filled with admiration.At that moment I suddenly realized how superficial my idea of ha

53、ppiness had been! To me it had always been associated with wealth, fame and power, the poor and the lowly having no share of it. However, happiness can be found in very ordinary life. I witnessed it on the weather-beaten faces of the husband and wife who had shared happiness and misfortune together.
