It also carried immigrants, who were seeking a better life in America. The historic liner (客轮) set sail on April 10, 1912, from Southampton. Late at night on April 14, she hit an iceberg. In the early morning hours of April 15, the Titanic sank. Of the 2,227 passengers and crew aboard, more than 1,500 died.Now a century later, a group of 1,309 passengers boarded the MS Balmoral on Sunday, in Southampton, England, on a voyage of 12 days to retrace the path of the Titanic. Relatives of people who sailed on the Titanic, historians, authors and people fascinated by the story of the unsinkable ship, are on the Balmoral. They want to remember the doomed ship and those who died on her first and last voyage. First, the Balmoral docked (进港) in the port of Cherbourg, France, where the Titanic picked up more passengers. On Monday afternoon, the Balmoral stops in Cobh, Ireland, the Titanics last port of call before sailing to New York.+Balmoral will then cruise (巡游) the North Atlantic Ocean to the location where the Titanic hit an iceberg. On Sunday, April 15, at 2:20 a.m. passengers and crew will hold a memorial service. The next two days will be spent in Halifax, Canada, where many victims of the sinking are buried. Then, the Balmoral will reach its final destination in New York City, where the Titanic was supposed to dockbut never did. Today, the 882-foot-long ship lies in pieces more than 12,000 feet below the oceans surface. Several teams of divers have explored the site. The Titanic has been remembered in books, movies and TV programs. But theres a much more important contribution that the Titanic gave us. After she sank, lawmakers and shipbuilders made ships safer. It took a terrible tragedy (悲剧) to make ship travel safer for all.36. According to the text, the passengers of the Titanic _. A. all came from Britain B. mainly consisted of rich peopleC. all wanted to seek their fortune D. came from different social classes 37. Why will the Balmoral spend two days in Halifax?A. To have a good view of icebergs. B. To hold a memorial service.C. To remember the death of the victims. D. To explore the seabed in the area. 38. When did the Balmoral set off for its trip? A. On April 8. B. On April 12. C. On April 10. D. On April 7. 39. Compared to the Titanic, the Balmoral _. A. is much biggerB. is more advanced C. has much cheaper tickets D. can carry more passengers BTeenagers who argue with their mothers are less likely to succumb to (屈服于) peer pressure (同龄人的压力), say child psychologists. Instead of bottling up opinions and feelings, it is best if older children are open with their mothers, according to a study by university researchers. And it is often disagreements rather than heart-to-hearts that help the most.If a teenager can stand up to their mother in a row about a girlfriend or boyfriend or poor grades then they are more likely to resist peer pressure, says the study. It is certainly better to have the occasional disagreement than not to engage in face-to-face conversations at all, it adds.The study shows that such arguments have the most beneficial effect when they are with a mother rather than a father, other family members or friends. This is because teenagers tend to use more reasoned arguments when being told off by a mother. Child psychologists from the University of Virginia analysed the behaviour of both teenagers studied progressively from age 13 to 16 and their parents. They found: “Teens who more openly express their own viewpoints in discussions with their mums, even if their viewpoints disagree, are more likely than others to resist peer pressure to use drugs or drink. Among the best protected were teens who had learned to argue well with their mums about such topics as grades, money, household rules, and friends.”While the research suggests having disagreements can help, the important point is the regular contact with a parent, and a mother in particular. The report added: “Teens who are secure in their ability to turn to their mothers under stress are less likely to end up feeling overly dependent upon close friends.”40. Which of the following best helps a teenager resist peer pressure?A. Mothers love.B. Heart-to-heart talks. C. Close friendship. D. Disagreements. 41. The last paragraph implies that a teenager _.A. should not depend entirely on his friendsB. should not listen to his mother C. should not contact his father under stress D. tends to turn to his mother under stress 42. We can infer from the text that peer pressure _.A. may have positive influence on teenagers B. is more powerful than influence from parentsC. can make teenagers do bad thingsD. cannot lead to lasting friendship 43. The underlined part “bottling up” in Paragraph 2 is similar in meaning to “_”.A. controllingB. expressing C. protectingD. discovering CLetter to My GrandsonChange is difficult for all of us. The older we get, the more change we face. All change involves loss, and whenever we lose something, we try hard to have it back. So because we know that all change is loss and all loss is change, your mom and dad worried about how you would react when it was time to take away your beloved pacifier (奶嘴) your “binky”. Now that youre four, you no longer have your binky; you have nothing to protect you from your anxiety. Thats why transitions (转变) are hard. Those transitional objects give us the illusion (幻觉) of security. When they are gone, we are left with the insecurity thats been there all along. Sam, almost everything we become attached to well eventually lose: our possessions, our loved ones, and even our youth and health. Yes, each loss is a blow (打击). But its also an opportunity. Theres an old saying: “When the heart weeps for what its lost, the soul rejoices (感到高兴) for what its gained.” So when you feel the pain of loss, please dont try to grab (抓住) at something to take away the pain. Just have faith that pain, like everything else, is transitional. Through it, you will learn about your ability to deal with adversity (逆境). You will learn how to manage stress. On the other side of pain, you will learn something about who you are. A friend of mine recently told me she had so many difficulties in her life that she felt like she was living in a nightmare (恶梦) and didnt know what to do. I told her to find the bus station and wait for the bus! She looked at me as if I was crazy. I explained that all emotions (情绪) are temporary, and we can wait for them to pass as though we were waiting for a bus. We can wait with disappointment, anger or feelings of victimhood, but that wont make the bus come any faster. We could wait with patience and relaxation, but that wouldnt make the bus come faster either! We just have to have faith that its coming. 44. It can be inferred that the pacifier mentioned in the first paragraph .A. was just an opportunity to Sam B. stills means a lot to Sam C. was a transitional object D. is an object Sam has already forgotten 45. According to the author, when we lose something, _.A. we will lose protection from insecurity B. we can have it back in a different wayC. we should be thankful for what is lostD. we can still expect something positive46. What does the last paragraph indicate?A. We can do nothing about difficulties in life.B. Waiting for the bus is a good way to reduce ones stress.C. We should be confident that all pains will be over in time.D. We can do nothing except wait to make the bus come faster.47. What does the author mainly want to tell Sam in the letter?A. We can avoid losses in our life by controlling our emotions.B. Keeping optimistic matters a lot in the face of hardship.C. Growing up is more than a process of losing and gaining. D. One should value what he owns before its eventually lost. DIn the run up to Christmas its all too easy to lose track of how much you are spending. But now an inventor has solved the problem with a set of “smart” wallets that actually tell you when you are low on cash.One of the Proverbial Wallets physically shrinks when your bank balance is low in an effort to discourage you from spending. Another has a hinge (铰链) which becomes tighter and tighter when you have less money while a third shakes every single time you use it. The idea behind all three is that, in our 21st century cashless society, we need to remind ourselves each time we spend our hard-earned money, rather than just using a credit card and forgetting about it. “As consumers, we have trouble controlling our instant desires and theres a difference between our decisions and the consequences,” said product designer John Kestner, who developed the wallets. “This difference has enlarged as our physical money becomes virtual. When were shopping, do we know what our bank account balance is, or whether were over budget for the month? The Proverbial Wallet gives us the financial sense that guides responsible decisions.” All three wallets have a tiny computer inside them and use a Bluetooth connection to the individuals mobile phone which then connects to the Internet and their bank account information. This means that the wallet is constantly updated with how much money the user has in their account, and can act accordingly. At present the wallets are at the prototype stage. Should banks or consumers take an interest, the designs could be put into mass production. John said that he is working on a slimmed-down version of the inventions which is credit card-shaped. “We want to make it as economical as possible it would be rather ironic (讽刺的) if we charged a fortune for something that is supposed to save you money,” he said.48. What all the Proverbial Wallets have in common is that they _.A. can change in size or shape B. work together with mobile phonesC. make it difficult to use your moneyD. tell the bank how much youve spent49. According to John Kestner, consumers may often _.A. feel regret at their shopping decisionsB. forget where their credit cards are keptC. find it difficult to decide what to buyD. purchase things of bad quality50. Virtual (as underlined in Paragraph 3) money is money that _.A. we put into our wallets B. we earn through mental laborC. cannot be seen or touched D. has a solid form and takes up space51. John Kestner is trying to make the Proverbial Wallets _.A. look similar to ordinary wallets B. bring him a big fortuneC. serve as credit card-holdersD. cheaper to buy EThe New York subway is the fastest and most efficient way to get from A to B in Manhattan and the outer boroughs(区), and it is safer and more user-friendly than it once was. Put aside your qualms: Six million people ride the subway every day, quite a few for the first time.Any subway journey costs $1.50, payable by token (代用币) purchased at any booth, but if you are going to take more than a couple of rides, its more efficient to purchase a MetroCard. This allows you to transfer (for free) from subway to bus, bus to subway or bus to bus within a period of two hours.The bus system is simpler than the subway system. The major disadvantage is that they can be extremely slow in peak hours almost down to walking pace, and extremely full to stand. Anywhere in Manhattan the fare is $1.50, payable on entry with either a subway token, a MetroCard (the most convenient way) or with the correct change no bills.Taxis are always worth considering, especially if youre in a hurry or in a group or late at night. Always use medallion cabs, immediately recognizable by their yellow paintwork and medallion top; gypsy cabs, which unlicensed, uninsured operators drive for business wherever tourists arrive, should be avoided. The tip should be fifteen to twenty percent of the fare; youll get a dirty look (遭人白眼) if you offer less. Drivers dont like splitting anything bigger than a $10 bill, and they are in their rights to refuse a bill over $20.Getting around on foot is often the most exciting and tiring method of exploring. Figure fifteen minutes to walk ten north-south blocks rather more at rush hours. A lot more people are injured in New York carelessly crossing the street. Pedestrian crossings dont give you automatic right of way unless the WALK sign is on and, even then, cars may be turning, so be careful.52. About tipping taxi drivers in New York, the author suggests that you give _.A. no tips at all B. less than 15 percent of the
