However, bridge building experts throughout the world thought this was impossible, but Roebling could not ignore the vision he had in his mind of this bridge. After much discussion and persuasion he managed to convince his son Washington, an up and coming engineer, that the bridge in fact could be built. The project started well, but only a few months later a tragic accident on the site took the life of John Roebling. Washington was injured and left with a certain amount of brain damage, which resulted in him not being able to walk or talk or even move. “Crazy men and their crazy dreams.” “Its foolish to chase(追求) wild visions.” Everyone had a negative comment to make and felt the project should be abandoned since the Roeblings were the only ones to know how the bridge could be built. In spite of his handicap, Washington was never discouraged.One day he was lying on his bed in hospital, seeing the sky and the tops of the trees outside, and a gentle breeze blowing the white curtains apart when an idea hit him. He decided to make the best use of the only finger he could move. Slowly he developed a code of communication with his wife. He touched his wifes arm with that finger, indicating that he wanted her to call the engineers again. Then he used the same method of tapping her arm to tell the engineers what to do. It seemed foolish but the project was under way again.For 13 years Washington tapped out his instructions with his finger on his wifes arm until the bridge was finally completed. 36. Which of the following is true of Washington and his father?A. They are curious and modest. B. They are stubborn and craszy.C. They are creative and determined. D. They are hardworking and courageous.37. The underlined phrase “wild vision” in Paragraph 3 refers to “_”.A. the end of failure B. the building of the bridgeC. the brain damage D. the tragic accident38. The text suggests that “_”.A. A lighted heart is a good medicine B. Many hands make light workC. No pains, no gains D. Impossible is nothing BWith Amazon selling more e-books than hardbacks, this may not seem like the best time to be having a book festival in San Diego County let alone two. But thats what book lovers have in store, with the San Diego City College International Book Fair concluding this weekend and the County Library Book Festival running all day Oct. 9. “Whatever the format, its still a writer putting pen to paper or tapping their fingers on keyboards,” said Liz Hildreth, co-chair of the library festival. “Its still authors, still stories, still books. We hope what the festival tells us is that books are a real part of peoples lives. That books are still important.”So important, organizers say, that one day they hope to rival (竞争) festivals in other places that routinely draw more than 100,000 people and feature hundreds of top writers across virtually every literary genre.Now in its fifth year, the weeklong City College International Book Festival attracted about 150 people to its Sept. 24 opening night. The featured author was Laurel Corona, a professor at the school who writes historical fiction. “Festivals are just fun, for readers and authors,” said Corona, one of the experts at the county library event. “They create excitement about books in general. People wander, discover authors they might never find otherwise.”Moore Susan, community relations manager for the county library system, said going to festivals changed her view that “owning a book was enough. I went and heard authors like (childrens writer) Chris Raschka. He added depth and meaning to what I had read, brought new ideas forward that I had no clue about.”“Were doing it because we love books, we love reading, and because our customers are asking us all the time for author events,” Moore said. “People really do long to make those connections.” 39. Book festivals in San Diego _. A. play a real part in local peoples lives B. are organized by book lovers C. attract hundreds of top writers D. are reader and author events40. Which of the following is true of Liz Hildreth? A. He prefers e-books. B. He is a book lover. C. He writes historical fiction. D. He is a professor of relations.41. The underlined words “literary genre” in Paragraph 3 probably mean “_”.A. theory of literature B. example of writers C. type of literature D. kind of readers42. From what Moore Susan said we can learn that _. A. she seldom goes to book festivals B. its easy to organize such activities C. book festivals in San Diego are popular D. its not the best time for book festivals nowCResearchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of fifty. In fact, they say by the age of eighty-five, people are happier with their life than they were when they were eighteen years old.The findings came from a survey of more than 340,000 adults in the United States. The Gallup(民意调查) Organization questioned them by telephone in 2008. At that time, the people were between the ages of eighteen and eighty-five.The researchers asked questions about emotions like happiness, sadness and worry. They also asked about mental or emotional stress.Arthur Stone at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five. The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties. Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. The people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties.Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.Professor Stone says the emotional patterns could be linked to changes in how people see the world, or maybe even changes in brain chemistry.The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age.The study also showed that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men. 43. What can be the best title of the text?A. Happiness Varies with Ages B. Experience More, Worry LessC. The Older, the Wiser D. Being Young, Being Happy44. We can learn from the research that _.A. only when people get older will they feel happierB. stress levels among the youngest are the highestC. older people tend to be grateful D. older people usually have no worries45. According to the research, when people get older, _.A. they miss the old days B. they are physically weak C. they have better self-control D. they are more emotional46. What would the author probably talk about next?A. What influences happiness. B. How to live better.C. How to keep happier. D. Why women are less happier.47. The author is intended to _. A. advise how to reduce stress B. introduce a scientific finding C. describe the process of doing research D. talk about human emotionsDEuropes first major university department to promote research into government and public policy will open in Oxford under new plans.In a hugely significant move, Oxford University will create a new school of government in 2012 following a 75 million donation by Leonard Blavatnik, the American industrialist and philanthropist(慈善家). The school is intended to train outstanding graduates from across the world in the skills and responsibilities of government. The move is being backed by world leaders including Nelson Mandela, Bill Clinton and Kofi Annan.Andrew Hamilton, Oxfords vice-chancellor, said: “The school represents a huge milestone in Oxfords history. It will give tomorrows leaders the best of Oxfords traditional strengths alongside new and practical ways of understanding and meeting the challenges of good governance.”“The university has educated 26 British Prime Ministers and over 30 other world leaders, yet until now the major international schools of government have all been outside Europe, principally in the United States.”Under plans, the Blavatnik School of Government will provide a series of practical courses leading to a Masters degree. It will cover a range of subjects including the humanities, social sciences, law, science, technology, health, finance, energy and security policy.Oxford said Mr Blavatniks donation was one of the most generous in the universitys 900 year history. The university itself will be investing an additional 26m in the school, as well as land in the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter, where the school will be located.Lord Patten, Oxfords chancellor, said: “This is a once-in-a-century opportunity for Oxford. Through the Blavatnik donation, Oxford will now become the worlds leading centre for the training of future leaders in government and public policy and in ways that take proper account of the very different traditions, institutions and cultures that those leaders will serve. It is an important moment for the future of good government throughout the world.” 48. What is the text mainly about?A. Political leaders from Oxford. B. Traditions and strengths of Oxford.C.

( 七选五)An ageing society is one in which the population of people over the age of 60 is increasingThe global population at present is about 6 billion with 1 person in every 10 aged 60 or above_51_This will mean that for the first time in human history the population of older persons will be larger than the population of children! What are the causes of this population change?_52_And another is that birthrates have dropped as people, especially women, are educatedMeasures to slow population growth like Chinas one-child policy, have also contributed to lowered birthratesThe increase in the aged population is not just an interesting trend, however; it also has severe implications for the future of global economiesPeople traditionally retire at 65 and live on government pensions_53_Another concern is that as medical expenses increase with age, the demands of the growing aged population will eventually cause medical systems to face bankruptcy（破产）_54_They suggest that because people are living longer, they ought to work longer, while governments need to establish a sound social security systemThey also suggest that individuals start saving as soon as possible to ensure a financially secure retirementPeople should also develop good health habits in their youth to ensure an active and productive old age_55_By finding cures for diseases like Alzheimers and cancer, medical bills and the need for care would be drastically reducedFinally, an important step to ensure a bright future for a
