He was hungry so he decided to beg for a meal at the next house.However, he became nervous when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal, he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you?”“You dont owe me anything,” she replied, “Mother has taught me never to accept pay for a kindness.” He said, “Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart.” As Haward Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but it also increased his faith in God and the human race. He was about to give up and quit before this point.Years later, the young woman became seriously ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where specialists could be called in to study her rare disease. Dr. Haward Kelly, now famous was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately, he rose and went down through the hospital hall into her room.Dressed in his doctors gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at once. He went back to the consultation room and determined to do his best to save her life. From that day, he gave special attention to her case.After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the bill to him for approval. He looked at it and then wrote something on the side. The bill was sent to her room. She was afraid to open it because she was positive that it would take the rest of her life to pay it off. Finally she looked, and the note on the side of the bill caught her attention. She read these words,“Paid in full with one glass of milk.”(Signed) Dr. Haward KellyTears of joy flooded her eyes as she prayed silently, “Thank You, God. Your love has spread through human hearts and hands.”51. After finishing the milk, the boy _.Afelt angry because what he was really hungryBregretted that he didnt ask for any foodCfelt more hungry than ever beforeDhad a stronger faith in God and the human race52. The underlined word “baffled” in Para. 4 probably means_. Apuzzled Bexcited Camazed Dencouraged53. What did the local doctors finally do when the young woman became seriously ill?AThey looked on indifferently.BThey asked for Dr. Howard Kellys help.CThey sent her to a hospital with specialists.DThey believed that his faith in God would cure her.54. Which of the following statement is RIGHT according to the passage?AThe young woman knew that Dr. Howard Kelly would help her and save her life.BThe doctor walked away the moment he heard the name of the town she came from.CThe doctor saved the womans life and paid off the bill.DWe shouldnt ask for help because one day we will pay a lot for it.B Researchers claimed that waitresses who wear red get up to 26 percent extra in tips than they would wearing other colors. However, the team finds that the sexes tip very differentlywith the bigger tips coming only from male customers.No matter what color they wear, female diners will give the same kind of amounts for service every time. Yet men, whether they realize it or not, add anything between 15 and 26 percent more to a waitress in red than they would if it was the same waitress wearing a different color.The test was simple. Take 11 waitresses in five restaurants over a six-week period and ask them to wear the same kind of T-shirt every day but change the colors. Previous research has suggested waitresses could earn more if they acted charmingly or wore more make-up than their colleagues. But this study, by the Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Research, only changed the color of the T-shirt. Every other aspect from make-up to behavior remained the same.When wearing either black, white, green, blue or yellow T-shirts, the size of the tips from both male and female customers was almost identical. But when they wore red, the size of the tips went up by between 15 and 26 percent from male customers, yet stayed the same from female ones.A total of 272 restaurant customers were studied by researchers Nicolas Gueguen and Celine Jacob for the international journal of the tourism industry. Even as a T-shirt, it shows just how much the color red is thought, by men, to increase the physical and sexual attractiveness of woman, said the researchers.The researchers wrote: As red color has no negative effect on women customers, it could be in their interest to wear clothes at work.55. The underlined word “identical” in Para. 4 probably means_.Adifferent Bsimilar Cthe same Dclose56. According to the passage, in the research by the Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Research waitresses could earn more by _.Awearing red T-shirts Bputting on attractive make-upCchanging the color of T-shirts Dbehaving themselves57. Which of the following is right according to the passage?ABright color can increase the physical and sexual attractiveness of women.BWaitresses in red make no difference to female customers.CMake-up makes no difference to man customers.DWhether male customers tips more or not depends on service.58. What is the main idea of the passage?APeople tip differently if waitresses wear different make-up.BWaitresses who wear red get more tips than they would wearing other colors.CMale customers are more interested in the red color.DRed color has no negative effect on female customers.CA popular saying goes, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” However, thats not really true. Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesnt matter if the words come from someones else or ourselves - the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.We all talk to ourselves sometimes. Were usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. In fact, we really shouldnt be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying “Good job!”Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clear will probably respond in a similar manner. Or harsh（刻薄的）and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.Words possess power because of their lasting effect. Many of us regret something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesnt pass this test, then its better left unsaid.Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem（自尊）and motivate others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.59The main idea of the first paragraph is that _.Anot sticks and stones but words will hurt us Binspiring words give us confidenceCnegative words may let us down Dwords have a lasting effect on us60. There is no sense for us to feel embarrassed when we talk to ourselves because _Aalmost everybody has the habit of talking to themselvesBwe can benefit from talking to ourselvesCtalking to ourselves always gives us courageDit does no harm to have “self-talk” when we are alone61. The underlined part in the third paragraph means that we should also timely _Apraise ourselvesBremind ourselvesCmake ourselves relaxed Dgive ourselves amusement62. The author would probably hold the view that _Aencouraging words are sure to lead to kind offersBnegative words may stimulate us to make more progressCpeople tend to remember friendly wordsDit is better to think twice before talking to othersDScientists have created a“human-like robot”that can dance and do the housework. “Mahru” has been developed to imitate(模仿)humans and can move its lips, eyes and eyebrows. The machine can also move its upper and lower body freely and automatically stop itself when walking. In addition, it has been programmed to give out two kinds of pleasant smells to match its emotions. The 1.5m tall robot was produced by researchers at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology(KIST)and is the first South Korean-developed machine of its kind. “Mahru will open the way for the commercial use of humanoid robots doing housework,” You Bum-Jae, leader of the development researchers team, said, “Mahru can dance while walking on its legs and is able to work in place of a human.” Through an advanced action capture system, Mahru can follow a variety of human movements and is able to move its hands freely enough to cope with any obstacles that may get in his way when walking. State-funded KIST showed the robot during a presentation at its headquarters in Seoul. People were treated to an entertaining show which saw the robot show off the full range of its skills, a series of dance moves. The research team added that they had designed another “Mahru”, this time with sensors allowing it to distinguish between faces and objects. The showing of “Mahru” came a week after researchers in Japan said they had created the “most human-like” robot in the world. A team at robotics department of Osaka University in Japan said that “robotgirl”, Replee R-l, looks, moves and interacts like a human, and has silicone (硅胶)skin that feels almost human to the touch. 63. “Mahru” made by KIST can do the following things EXCEPT _. A. express certain feelings through smellsB. move its body freely C. stop automatically when walkingD. dance with other human-like robots64. According to what You Bum-Jae said in Paragraph 3, his research team wants to _. A. show its scientific power B. explore the commercial use of “Mahru” C. help robots with doing houseworkD. make “Mahru” offer more fun65. According to the last paragraph, Reliee R-1 _. A. has skin feeling similar to humansB. looks like a boy C. is a new type of “Mahru”D. was made by KIST66. Which is the best title for this passage? A. A commercial robotB. A robot produced by Japan C. A human-like robotD. A dancing robotEA new United Nations report shows that fish farming may soon be the worlds most important provider of fish. The Food and Agriculture Organization says fish farming is growing at a rate of 6.6 percent a year.Fish farming now produces forty-six percent of the worlds supply of fish. That represents a forty-three percent increase from 2006. The report also said fish farming earned more money in 2008 than traditional fisheries.In fish farming, fish are raised in tanks or small bodies of water called ponds. They are also raised in cages or nets in oceans, lakes and rivers. The report says increased fish farming has helped people around the world eat record amounts of fish. The FAO says each person ate an average of almost seventeen kilograms of fish last year.However, the FAO says the current yearly wild-fish harvest of ninety million tons shows no improvement. Decreasing numbers of fish and stronger catch limits have reduced the possibilities for catching wild fish. The FAO report says about thirty-two percent of world supplies are overfished. It says these supplies of fish need to be rebuilt at once.Some scientists have criticized fish farming. They say the nets and cages permit fish diseases and pests to spread. Some fish farming critics doubt whether fish farming can keep growing at the current rate. But Wally Stevens of the trade group Global Aquaculture Alliance says the industry must continue developing to feed growing populations. Mr. Stevens says a one hundred percent increase in fish farming over ten years is necessary to keep providing for people at the current level. He notes
