He rode past some pine trees. Then the path looped(环绕)around a pond. Mark was surprised that the course was so 41 .His tired legs felt like they weighed a hundred pounds.

These monkeys are always ready to serve you. Hungry, you just need to point to your own stomach and theyll lead you to the nearest restaurant. Thirsty, the monkeys will lead you to a bar. Tired, you put both of your hands behind your head and the monkeys will take you to the nearest hotel. Dont feel surprised when they put out their hairy hands to you after the service is done. They are just asking for a little money as a tip. After that, they will wave their hands as if they are saying goodbye to you.Believe it or not, these monkeys are from the school for monkeys in India, where they were trained for one year. They are not the only monkey students in the world. Some are being trained as nurses in an American medical college. These monkeys are about to look after patients and help them with their housework.A three-year-old monkey named Helen has learned to turn on TV, turn off lights, and open doors and windows when she is told to. Once the job is done, she will rush to her master, hoping to get some food as a reward.50. When youre thirsty, the monkey will lead you to _. A. a bar B. a hotel C. a restaurant D. a shop51. According to the passage, monkeys arent trained to _. A. open doors B. buy food C. turn off lights D. look after patients52. What is probably the best title for this passage? A. Funny Monkeys B. Lovely Guides C. Special NursesD. Good HelpersCThere are many colors in nature. But do you think that a color has weight? I think youll say “no”. But I am afraid you are wrong. If you dont believe it, you may do a small experiment.First, put two objects with the same weight into two boxes. Then cover the boxes. Third, wrap（包裹）one box with a red piece of paper, the other with a white piece of paper. OK. Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one. It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier.Why do you think so? A scientist found that different colors have different weights in a mans mind. So he did many tests and at last he got the result. That is to say, every color has its own weight in our mind. The scientist told us that colors also have smell. Can you smell the color? Of course not. Then why did the scientist say so? That is because every color stands for a kind of light with a certain wavelength. It reaches our brain through sense organs (器官).According to this discovery, scientists say that people accept the colors they like, and refuse the colors they hate. So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colors you like. Or youll be nervous or even get ill. For example, you like blue and hate red. If you stay in a room with red windows, wallpaper and furniture for two hours, youll feel you have been there for four hours. But if the room is blue, youll feel you have been there for only an hour. And, if a person walks out of a blue room and into a red room, his temperature will rise. That means our body temperature will change with different colors.53. From the experiment, we know that _. A. the red box is heavier than the white one B. colors can change the weight of an object C. colors have different weights in peoples mind D. the white piece of paper is lighter than the red one 54. When we walk from a red room into a blue one, _.A. we will feel very nervous B. our body weight will changeC. our body temperature will fall D. we will notice different smells55. This passage is probably _. A. a science reportB. a news story C. a historical record D. an advertisementD“Hello.” it is one of the first words we learn as babies, yet its one of the last ones we think to use as adults. Thats regrettable, because saying hello is more than just saying hello its the respect of anothers worth. How might the world change how might we change if we have mastered this word? To find out, I spent one month saying hello to every person I met. Heres what Ive learnt.It can improve productivity. In one of the few studies ever done on this subject, Allan Allday, an assistant professor of special education at Oklahoma State University, had middle school teachers greet their students individually each morning. This exchange of greetings raised the kids productivity. School went from impersonal to personal, and that led to more class participation（参与）and better grades.Environments influence friendliness. One study found that people in the city were less likely to shake hands with a stranger than those in the countryside. And, researchers say, pleasant environments generally encourage more smiles and hellos than unpleasant ones. My experience was similar. Whatever the reason, my hellos in the city were answered far less often than the ones in the countryside. Similarly, people in vacation areas, like the Jersey Shore, were far more friendly than those hurrying to work downtown. Its a form of health insurance（保险）. Its impossible to say hello without smiling. And smiling has been shown to lower blood pressure, lighten unpleasant feelings and improve happiness. It seems that saying hello creates a similar influence. So maybe we can make the world a better place by saying hello. After a month of doing it, I feel lighter and more connected and I have a better sense of well-being.56. What can we know from the first paragraph?A. People can say hello since they are born. B. Saying hello is a way to show respect to others.C. People lose the ability to say hello when they grow up.D. Saying hello is a way to change the world completely.57. Which of the following is true according to the second paragraph? A. Students will get good grades by saying hello very often.B. An assistant professor likes greeting his students every morning. C. The teacher who often says hello to students is very popular at school.D. Kids will be more active in class by exchanging greetings with teachers.58. From the passage, we learn that _. A. smiles can take the place of hellos B. people living in the city refuse to say hello C. environments play a role in creating friendlinessD. having health insurance is more important than saying hello59. The underlined word “well-being” in the last paragraph means _. A. health and happinessB. comfort and quietness C. pride and confidenceD. peace and hopefulness 七、阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。（共8分，每小题2分）Charley was a high school student.

When Ron entered a class, he decided to change every students life for the better.Ron never planned on being a teacher. After college, he travelled around the world, living a life full of adventures, but after getting terribly sick, he returned to his hometown, North Carolina. Then he taught at a school there. “From then on it was like magic I fell in love with teaching,” said Ron. After five years of teaching, he heard that some schools in East Harlem, New York were failing because there were few good teachers. “At that moment I had a feeling it was like a calling,” he said. “And so I said, Im going to do it.”Before school started, Ron went to every single students home and met with their families. He gave his students his home phone number, so if they had any trouble with their homework, they could call him. To connect with his students, Ron knew he should use special teaching methods. He learned to play funny games with them, gave them lively lessons, and spent his time taking students to New Yorks tourist attractions. His students studied harder and behaved（表现）better in return.Because of his efforts in Nort
