He hadnt worked out quite what was wrong with her. He knew, though that she hadnt been well for some time now, and it had become almost familiar to him to see her eyes narrowed in a sudden attack of pain, and her hand pressing against her heart. Their own doctor, who she had finally gone to for advice, had sent her to an expert who knew all about these things. He had told her that just as soon as there was a bed for her, she would have to come into his hospital where he could look after her himself.During the weeks since then the pains had come even more frequently, and the narrowed eyes became an almost permanent part of her expression. Always rather sharp, she began losing her temper over little things so that Johns father kept his thoughts to himself more and more. John, as ready as possible to make allowances, tried to think what it would be like to have toothache all the time and how bad-tempered that would make you.So his mother would go into hospital for a few days. He was going to stay with his Aunt Daisy till she came back, and his father would stay on at home by himself. Johns cousin, Mona, was to come in and make the bed and wash the pots and dust round now and again. That was the arrangement, and John didnt care much for it. Apart from missing his mother(and he was glad she was going away because they would make her better), he wasnt very fond of his Aunt Daisy because she was even more bad-tempered than his mother.21. Mrs Weston went to see her doctor_.A. as soon as she realized that something was wrongB. only after her husband advised her toC. a long time after the trouble beganD. when John asked what was wrong with her22. what did Mrs Westons own doctor decide to do?A. He decided to send her to hospital B. He decided to get an expert to examine herC. He decided to treat her himself D. He advised her to wait for a few weeks.23. How did John react to his mothers bad temper?A. He tried to imagine himself in her place. B. He tried not to notice it.C. He pretended that he had toothache. D. He behaved himself as well as possible.24. John regarded _as most bad-tempered.A. his father B. his mother C. his cousin Mona D. his aunt DaisyBCyberspace(网络空间) has given rise to a new social change where people make friends from across the world, but know little about their next-door neighbors. This worries critics, but some often find an Internet friendship more pleasant.Take Bob for example. His neighbor doesnt know anything about gardening, but his instant messaging friend Gr33nThum does. Besides, Gr33nThum doesnt do that annoying sound when he talks.Those people like Bob have long been criticized for their lack of necessary social skills. Critics think people almost forget how to naturally communicate with their neighbors, creating a social network of strangers.However, a report entitled The Strength of Internet Ties provides a different opinion. Sociologists are suggesting that the Internet helps develop social networks and make use of them when it matters most.Friends often move. As kids, our friends parents move away. As adults, we move away to college or for work. Communicative tools have made losing touch the result of laziness, not distance. The larger and the more diversea persons network, the more important e-mail is, argues Jeffrey Boase, who co-authored the report. You cant make phone calls or personal visits to all your friends very often, but you can keep in touch with them regularly with the help of the Internet. That turns out to be very important.In addition to expanding and strengthening the social ties people keep in the offline world, Internet and e-mail provide a social and informational support group that helps people make difficult decisions and face challenges. Internet use provides online users a path to resources, such as access to people who may have the right information to help deal with family health problems or find a new job, says John Horrigan, author of the report.The Internet creates a new basis for community. Rather than relying on a single community for social support, people often must actively seek out a variety of appropriate people and resources for different situations, says co-author Barry Wellman.25. Critics think that making friends online _.A. exposes Internet users to danger. B. leads to coldness between peopleC. causes distrust between neighbors D. results in the dying out of social skills26. Jeffrey Boase argues that the Internet _.A. makes people lazier than before B. is helpful in bringing neighbors togetherC. is more important than the offline world D. makes it easier for people to stay connected27. According to John Horrigan, Internet users benefit a lot from social networks because _.A. they can get the latest information online B. people in the online world are more reliableC. there are many online jobs available for them D. they are more likely to get help when in trouble28. What would be the best title for the text?A. The value of cyber friendship B. The importance of friendship C. The new way of communication D. The development of the InternetC In the Stone Age, people didnt need to find salt. They were hunting a lot of their food, and eating a lot of red meat. Red meat has plenty of salt in it, and naturally, people at that time didnt have to go and find extra salt. But when people began to farm, about 10,000 BC, they started to eat mainly grains like rice and very little meat. Then they really needed another way to get salt. People sprinkled(洒) salt on different kinds of food, because there were no refrigerators.The earliest evidence we have for people producing salt comes from northern China, where people seem to have been harvesting salt from a salt lake by 6,000 BC and maybe earlier.By about 4,500 BC, Central Asian people along the shores of the Caspian Sea were mining rock salt underground. This is the earliest known salt mine in the world.By 800 BC, Chinese written records tell us that people in China were producing salt by boiling ocean salt water until the salt was left. About the same time, in Europe, the Indo-European Celts(凯尔特人) were mining salt underground in modern Austria, Hungary, southern Germany and Poland. By 252 BC, a Chinese governor named Li Bing also worked out how to mine salt. Men dug deep wells down to where there were natural underground salt water pools, and took the salty water out.Because everyone needed salt, but only a few people could produce it, salt was something everybody bought. Governments, therefore, began to tax it to raise a lot of money. Both the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, in China, got a lot of their money from the salt trade. About 1,000 AD, businessmen brought salt across the desert on the backs of the camels. The businessmen used the salt to buy slaves and goods from West Africa. Then they forced the slaves to mine even more salt.29. People in the Stone Age didnt have to find salt because _.A. they couldnt adapt to the taste of salt B. they didnt know how to preserve foodC. they ate lots of red meat which contains salt D. they gave meat to others in exchange for salt30. When did people first produce salt?A. By about 3,000 BC. B. By about 4,500 BC. C. By about 6,000 BC. D. By about 10,000 BC.31. According to the passage, how did the Central Asian people get salt?A. By boiling ocean salt water. B. By mining rock salt underground.C. By harvesting salt from a salt lake. D. By taking salt water from salt water pools.32. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Many people couldnt afford to buy salt.B. Salt once functioned as money in ancient times.C. West Africa learned how to mine salt from China.D. Salt was the main source of economy in the Tang Dynasty.DResearchers at the University of Kansas say that people can accurately judge 90 percent of a strangers personality simply by looking at the persons shoes. Shoes convey a thin but useful slice of information about their wearers, the authors wrote in the new study published in the Journal of Research in Personality.Shoes serve a practical purpose, and also serve as nonverbal cues with symbolic message. People tend to pay attention to the shoes they and others wear. Medical Daily notes that the number of detailed personality traits detected in the study include a persons general age, their gender, income, political affiliation, and other personality traits, including someones emotional stability. Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgments were based on the style, cost, color and condition of someones shoes. In the study, 63 University of Kansas students looked at pictures showing 208 different pairs of shoes worn by the studys participants. Volunteers in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes, and then filled out a personality questionnaire. So, what do your shoes say about your personality? Some of the results were expected: People with higher incomes most commonly wore expensive shoes, and flashier footwear was typically worn by extroverts. However, some of the more specific results are intriguing(新奇的). For example, practical and functional shoes were generally worn by more agreeable people, while ankle boots were more closely aligned with aggressive personalities. The strangest of all may be that those who wore uncomfortable looking shoes tend to have calm personalities. And if you have several pairs of new shoes or take exceptional care of them, you may suffer from attachmentanxiety, spending an inordinate amount of time worrying about what other people think of your appearance. There was even a political calculation in the mix with more liberal types wearing shabbier and less expensive shoes. The researchers noted that some people will choose shoe styles to mask their actual personality traits, but researchers noted that volunteers were also likely to be unaware that their footwear choices were revealing deep insights into their personalities. 33. Which of the results is beyond peoples expectation? A. wealthy people often wear expensive shoes. B. pleasant people like wearing uncomfortable shoes. C. flashier shoes are typically worn by outgoing people. D. aggressive people are like to wear ankle boots. 34. People suffering from attachment anxiety tend to _. A. worry about their appearance. B. wear strange shoes. C. have a calm character D. become a political leader 35. What can be the best title for this article? A. Shoes and Information B. Shoes One Wears C. Shoes and Ones Personality D. Judging Ones Personality第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。Everyone can benefit from making an effort to practice gratitude every day. 36 These three steps can help you start feeling more grateful and appreciative of the good things in your life. 37 Start to notice and identify the things you are grateful for. Each day, think of three things you are grateful for. Then start a gratitude journal. Writing down good things each day makes it more likely that you will notice good things as they happen. Savor (品味) the feeling of gratitude.There are moments when you naturally, right then and there, feel full of gratitude. These are moments when you say to yourself, “Oh, wow, this is amazing!” or “How great it is!” Pause. 38 Let it sink in. Savor your blessings the moment they happen.Express gratitude.Expressing gratitude is more than being polite. Its about showing your heartfelt appreciation. When someone really did something nice, you could say, “It was really kind of you to.”, “It really helped me out when you.”, “You did me a big favor when.”, “Thank you for your listening when.”, “I really appreciated it when you taught me.”, or “Thank you for being there when.” 39 True gratitude doesnt leave you feeling like you owe other people something. 40 Its all about feeling good and creating a cycle of good.A.
