To start with, some writers describe winter by using

26、 their five senses or their imagination. Others write on their favorite winter activity. Whatever you choose to write about, working on a winter story can always help to improve your writing skills. Now read the following story and see if it helps get rid of any icy writing block youve been struggli

27、ng with.A Winter AdventureBeep, beep. Beep-beep: the alarm clock rang. Slowly, I got out of warm bed down onto the wooden floor which the winter had thrown its cold upon. The bitter cold temperature penetrated（穿透）my socks and I hurried to put my feet in shoes. Looking out of the window, I watched th

28、e white snow, soft and thick, drop onto rooftops and trees. Half an hour later, finishing the last of my hot chocolate, I prepared to enter the adventure that waited for me outside. I buttoned my jacket and fastened my boots. Hat on, I opened the door and was greeted by the winter coldness.In the de

29、pths of winter, the early morning did not have the rush of the rest of the year. Most of my neighbors were put off by the cold, and stayed in bed until the sun had climbed higher into the sky. Unseen by those who remained locked inside their homes, warm in their beds, I enjoyed being alone with the

30、beauty of the wintertime. Those indoors were unable to appreciate the snow-capped, ice crystals, frost and the crisp（清新的）breeze. For them, the coming of winter meant just the arrival of the cold.Appreciation depends on contrasts. One cannot love the warmth of April if one has not known the freezing

31、cold of winter. Later that year, the heat of the sun on my skin would be all the more wonderful for my memories of that cold morning and others like it.56.

35、ting poems fifteen years ago while I was in college. One day I was in the library, working on a term paper, when I came across a book of contemporary poetry. I dont remember the title of the book or any of the titles of the poems except one: “Frankensteins Daughter.” The poem was wild, almost rude,

36、and nothing like the rhyme-and-meter poetry I had read in high school. I had always thought that poetry was flowery writing about sunsets and walks on the beach, but that library book contained direct and sometimes shocking poetry about dogs, junked cars, rundown houses, and TVs. I checked the book

37、out, curious to read more.Soon afterward, I started filling a notebook with my own poems. At first I was scared, partly because my poetry teacher, to whom this book is written for, was a serious and strict man who could see the errors in my poems. Also, I realized the seriousness of my devotion. I g

38、ave up geography to study poetry, which a good many friends said offered no future. I ignored them because I liked working with words, using them to reconstruct the past, which has always been a source of poetry for me.When I first studied poetry, I was single-minded. I woke to poetry and went to be

39、d with poetry. I memorized poems, read English poets because I was told they would help shape my poems, and read classical Chinese poetry because I was told that it would add clarity to my work. But I was most taken by the Spanish and Latin American poets, particularly Pablo Neruda. My favorites of

40、his were the odes long, short-lined poems celebrating common things like tomatoes, socks and scissors. I felt joyful when I read these odes, and when I began to write my own poems, I tried to remain faithful to the common things of my childhood dogs, alleys, my baseball mitt (手套) and the fruit of th

41、e valley, especially the orange. I wanted to give these things life, to write so well that my poems would express their beauty.I also admired our own countrys poetry. I saw that our poets often wrote about places where they grew up or places that impressed them deeply. James Wright wrote about Ohio

42、and West Virginia, Philip Levine about Detroit, Gary Snyder about the Sierra Nevadas and about Japan, where for years he studied Zen Buddhism (禅宗佛教). I decided to write about the San Joaquin Valley, where my hometown, Fresno, is located. Some of my poems are absolute observations and images of natur

43、e the orange yards, the Kings River, the Sequoias (红杉). I fell in love with the valley, both its ugliness and its beauty, and quietly wrote poems about it to share with others.60. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The authors experiences with poetry.B. The authors method of writing poetry.C

44、. The authors appreciation of poetry.D. The authors interest in studying poetry.61. From the first paragraph, we can learn that _. A. “Frankensteins Daughter” was a flowery poetryB. the author was able to memorize most poems he readC. the author began to get in contact with poetry of another style D

45、. the author was curious to read more of rhyme-and-meter poetry62. Which of the following would the author most probably write about in his poem?A. Moving love stories in history.B. Observations of classical poems.C. True feelings of human friendship.D. Appreciation of wild valley flowers.63. Which

The author became devoted to poetry because of his teachers strictness. C. The author loved to find sources of poetry from nature and from the past. D. Spanish and Latin Amer

47、ican poems influenced the author as much as Chinese ones.CMultitaskingPeople who multitask all the time may be the worst at doing two things at once, a new research suggests. The findings, based on performances and self-evaluation by about 275 college students, indicate that many people multitask no

48、t out of a desire to increase productivity, but because they are easily distracted (分心) and cant focus on one activity. And “those people turn out to be the worst at handling different things,” said David sanbonmatsu, a psychologist at the University of Utah.Sanbonmatsu and his colleagues gave the s

49、tudents a set of tests and asked them to report how often they multitasked, how good they thought they were at it, and how sensation-seeking (寻求刺激) or imperative (冲动)they were. They then evaluated the participants multitasking ability with a tricky mental task that required the students to do simple

50、 mathematical calculations while remembering a set of letters.Not surprisingly, the scientists said, most people thought they were better than average at multitasking, and those who thought they were better at it were more likely to report using a cellphone while driving or viewing multiple kinds of

51、 media at once. But those who frequently deal with many things at the same time were found to perform the worst at the actual multitasking test. They also were more likely to admit to sensation-seeking and impulsive behavior, which connects with how easily people get bored and distracted.“People mul

52、titask not because its going to lead to greater productivity, but because theyre distractible, and they get sucked into things that are not as important.” Sanbonmatsu said.Adam Gazzaley, a researcher at the University of California, San Francisco, who was not a member of the research group, said one

53、 limitation of the study was that it couldnt find out whether people who start out less focused toward multitasking or whether peoples recognizing and understanding abilities change as a result of multitasking.The findings do suggest, however, why the sensation-seeker who multitask the most may enjo

54、y risky distracted driving. “People who are multitasking are generally less sensitive to risky situations.” said Paul Atchley, another researcher not in the group. “This may partly explain why people go in for these situations even though theyre dangerous.”64. The research led by Sanbonmatsu indicat

55、es that people who multitask . A. seek high productivity constantly B. prefer handling different things when getting bored C. are more focused when doing many things at a time D. have the poorest results in doing various things at the same time65. When Sanbonmatsu and his colleagues conducted their

56、research, they . A. assessed the multitasking ability of the students B. evaluated the academic achievements of the students C. analyzed the effects of the participants tricky mental tasks D. measured the changes of the students understanding ability66. According to Sanbonmatsu, people multitask bec

57、ause of their _. A. limited power in calculation B. interests in doing things differently C. inability to concentrate on one task D. impulsive desire to try new things67. From the last paragraph, we can learn that multitaskers usually . A. drive very skillfully B. go in for different tasks C. fail t

58、o react quickly to potential dangers D. refuse to explain the reasons for their behaviorD For some people, music is no fun at all. About four percent of the population is what scientists call “amusic.” People who are amusic are born without the ability to recognize or reproduce musical notes (音调). A

59、music people often cannot tell the difference between two songs. Amusics can only hear the difference between two notes if they are very far apart on the musical scale.As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Lif

60、e can be hard for amusics. Their inability to enjoy music set them apart from others. It can be difficult for other people to identify with their condition. In fact, most people cannot begin to grasp what it feels like to be amusic. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping mall can be uncomfortable
