In the depths of my memory, many things I did with my father still live. These things have come to represent, in fact, what I call __36__ and love.

A poet once said,“We look at life once, in childhood; the rest is __54__.”And I think it is not only what we “look at once, in childhood”that determines our memories, __55__ who, in that childhood, looks at us?

Introductory Chemistry was taught at Duke University for many years by professor Bonk.One year,two guys took the class and did pretty well on all the quizzes and mid terms.They each had a solid A.These two friends were so confident in going into the final that the weekend before finals week,despite the Chemistry final being on Monday,they decided to go to the University of Virginia to party with some friends.

They had a great time there. Alcohol, music, dancing, etc. However,with their hangovers and tiredness,they overslept all day Sunday and didn’t make it back to Duke until early Monday morning.Rather than taking the final then,they found professor Bonk after the final and explained to him how they missed the final.They told him they went up to the University of Virginia for the weekend and had planned to come back in time to study,but they had a flat tire on the way back and didn’t have a spare.So they were late getting back to campus.

Bonk thought this over and agreed that they could take the final the following day.The two guys,happily and relieved,studied that night and went in the next day at the time that Bonk had told them.He placed them in separate rooms and handed each of them a test booklet.He told them to begin.

The Labrador (拉布拉多猎犬) has won the honor of the most popular breed (品种) for the past eighteen years. It has been described as gentle, clever and friendly. Yet not all Labs are the same.

John Grogan discovered this after he and his wife adopted a Labrador that they named Marley. The dog caused Mr. Grogan a lot of trouble, but it also provided many stories for his newspaper articles. Later, he wrote a best-selling book, “Marley and Me: Life and Love with the World’s Worst Dog.”

Marley was happy and fun-loving. But he was also extremely large and difficult to control. He bit anything that he could find around the house, including plastic, clothing and jewelry. And he had a great fear of loud noises, especially thunderstorms. Unfortunately, the Grogans lived in Florida where many thunderstorms develop. Marley would attack the furniture, walls and doors until his feet bled if he was left alone in the house during a thunderstorm. Marley almost damaged their home several times.

John Grogan said that at first he considered that probably his dog could be trained to be a show champion. But he soon realized that was impossible. Marley didn’t like to learn skills that didn’t belong to dogs, and he was driven out of the dog training school for causing troubles for other dogs. He didn’t want to hide his emotions. He would show his anger and tiredness if he felt them.

Even if that, Marley still had earned a place in the Grogans’. He didn’t know how to dance, and he didn’t know how to walk on its two legs, but he was what he was. He would never be a Lassie or a Benji or an old Yeller for he would never like to take part in a dog show, but the Grogans accepted him and loved him very much.

61. The underlined word “this” in the second paragraph refers to the fact that ____.

A. not all dogs won the honor of the most popular breed

B. not all Labs are gentle, clever and friendly

C. Marley caused the Grogans a few troubles

D. Marley provided many stories for the newspaper articles

62. We can infer when John Grogan wrote the book “Marley and Me: Life and Love with the World’s Worst Dog.”, he was very ____.

A. angry                        B. disappointed        C. happy                       D. frightened

63. What made Marley attack the furniture when he was left alone in the house during a thunderstorm?

A. The fear of hearing loud noises.          B. The anger of being left alone.

C. The unhappiness of having no toys.       D. The disappointment of getting nothing to eat.

64. Marley was driven out of the dog training school because he ____.

A. didn’t like to learn skills that didn’t belong to dogs

B. made it difficult for other dogs to get trained

C. liked to attack the trainers when getting angry

D. didn’t know how to hide his emotions

65. From the passage we can know ____.

A. every dog in America attends the dog training school

B. a Lassie should be a troublesome dog just like Marley

C. Marley often lost his temper and bit other dogs

D. Marley led a life full of love in the Grogans’

Cold weather has a great effect on how our minds and our bodies work. Maybe that is why there are so many expressions that use the word “cold”. For centuries, the body’s blood has been linked closely with the emotions. People who show no human emotions or feelings, for example, are said to be cold-blooded. Cold-blooded people act in merciless ways. They may do brutal things to others, and not by accident. For example, a newspaper says the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer. The killer murdered someone, not in self-defense. He seemed to kill for no reason, and with no emotion, as if taking someone’s life meant nothing.

Cold can affect other parts of the body, the feet, for example. Heavy socks can you’re your feet, if your feet are really cold. But there is an expression—to get cold feet—that has nothing to do with cold or your feet.

The expression means being afraid to do something you have decided to do. For example, you agree to be president of an organization. But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned. All the work of the organization will be your responsibility. You are likely to get cold feet about being the president when you understand the situation.

Cold can also affect your shoulder. You give someone the cold shoulder when you refuse to speak to them. You treat them in a distant and cold way. The expression probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone, instead of speaking to him face-to-face. You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made to you, or to someone who has lied about you to others.

A cold fish is not a fish. It is a person. But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and shows no love or warmth. A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone.

Out in the cold is an expression often heard. It means not getting something that everybody else got. A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise, and that he was left out in the cold. And it is not a pleasant place to be.

66. The passage is intended to tell us that ______ .

A. cold weather has a great effect on human bodies

B. many English expressions contain the word “cold”

C. cold is a word closely linked with human emotions

D. the word “cold” has many different meanings in English

67. The underlined word “brutal” in Paragraph 1 most probably means “______”.

A. impolite       B. illegal       C. cruel         D. extreme

68. Which of the following expressions can best describe a person who is unwilling to offer

anything to others?

A. Cold-blooded.    B. To get cold feet.   C. A cold shoulder.     D. A cold fish.

69. You can say Tom ______ if the teacher gives all the boys except him a pen as a prize.

A. is given the cold shoulder                                   B. is left out in the cold

C. has got cold feet                                         D. is murdered by a cold-blooded killer

70. We can draw a conclusion from the passage that ______ .

A. all the expressions containing the word “cold” have a negative meaning

B. all the expressions containing the word “cold” have something to do with cold

C. people who show no human emotions or feelings have cold blood

D. many parts of the human body can be badly affected by cold

Kelly Reeves was getting ready for a trip when her phone slipped into a sink full of water. Panic moment! She quickly picked up the wet phone and tried to turn it on, but nothing worked. Her first reaction? She got dressed, drove to the nearest store, and bought a new mobile at full price.

A new study finds that fear of losing your phone is a common illness. About 66 percent of those surveyed suffer from nomophobia or “no mobile phone phobia”. Interestingly, more women worry about losing their phone than men.

Fortunately, there’s a solution.

The first step is to figure out if you have nomophobia. Checking your phone too often is one thing, but the true sign of a problem is that you can’t conduct business or go about your routine when the fear becomes so severe.

Do you go to unusual lengths to make sure you have your phone? That’s another sign of a problem. If you find you check your phone plenty of times per hour, or a total of an hour per day, there may be a problem.

Some of the treatments are similar to those for treating anxiety attacks: leaving the phone behind and not checking e-mail or text messages, and then learning to tolerate the after anxiety. Even if this leads to a high level of worry and stress, the solution is to push through the fear and learn to deal with not having your phone.

Of course, there are also technological alternatives. Luis Levy, a co-founder at Novy PR, says he uses an application called Cerberus that can automatically track the location of his phone. To find it, he can just go to a website and see the phone’s location.

He also insures his phone through a service called Asurion. The company’s description of its product reads like a prescription for anxiety:”60 million phones are lost, stolen or damaged each year. You’ll have complete peace of mind knowing that your phone is protected and you can quickly reconnect with family, friends and work, as soon as the very next day!”

71. Why does the author mention Kelly’s experience in the first paragraph?

A. To introduce the topic for discussion.

B. To inform us that mobile phones are useful.

C. To warn us that we should be careful.

D. To tell us we should get phones ready for a trip.

72. The underlined word “nomophobia” in Paragraph 2 means “     ” .

A. habits of using mobile phones             B. fear of losing mobile phones

C. eagerness for new mobile phones          D. independence of mobile phones

73. Which of the following is a way to treat nomophobia?

A. Avoiding using a phone for some time

B. Learning more about modern technology

C. Protecting one’s phone against any damage

D. Not using a mobile phone in one’s daily work

74. Why can the service called Asurion help to treat nomophobia?

A. It lets you know other people also lose their phones.

B. It will give you a new phone through insurance.

C. It enables you to reconnect with your acquaintances.

D. It gives you a prescription to treat nomophobia

75. What is the passage mainly about?

A. Attitude toward mobile phones            B. New mobile phone technology

C. Disadvantages of mobile phones           D. Solutions to nomophobia

 阅读下面短文, 并根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的字数要求)。

Has your boss sent out a memo (备忘录) warning all employees to stop logging into sites like Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter on company time? You may want to send a memo straight back to him or her with some justification (辩护) for your web surfing time. According to a study from University of Melbourne, workers who are allowed to spend time each day reading news, blogs, product reviews, communicating with friends on social networks and taking part in other non-work-related online pursuits are actually more productive than those who are blocked from doing so.

The study has showed that people who surf the Internet for fun at work-within a reasonable limit of less than 20% of their total time in the office-are ________by about 9% than those who don't.

Why the seemingly confusing result? According to Dr Coker, it comes down to our attention spans. "People need to let their mind go blank for a bit to get back their concentration, " he said. "Think back to when you were in class listening to a lecture-after about 20 minutes you can't concentrate your attention, yet after a break your concentration was restored. "

When mixed with work time, web surfing allows employees to refresh their minds and come back to the task at hand with more focus and care.

"Short breaks, such as a quick surf of the Internet, enable the mind to rest itself, leading to better concentration for a day's work, and as a result, increased productivity," Dr Coker added.

If your manager can't tolerate workplace leisure time, share this insight with him or her and maybe he or her even becomes your Facebook friend.

Recentlypeople are having an argument on whether a subway should be built or not in the city. Opinions vary from person to person.

Some people think it necessary to build a subway. For one thingbuilding a subway can help solve traffic problems and people will enjoy a more convenient life. For anotherit provides a new means of transportationwhich is environmentally friendly.

On the other handothers hold the opposite opinion. From their point of viewthe long process of construction is bound to influence the city's traffic. What's moretoo much money will be spent building itand it will take a long time to get the money back.

Weighing the pros and consI support the idea that a subway should be built because not only will the environment be protected but also more space will be saved.
