a. to improve your reading. b. to improve your listening. c. to improve your spoken english. d. to improve your vocabulary.42. it can be inferred from the third paragraph that _ a. dont be fluency. just be accuracy ! b. dont be nervous, dont be shy. just write ! c. dont be afraid of making mistakes. just speak ! d. dont be shy, dont be fluency. just listen and write !43. the last paragraph is possibly close to the meaning of _ a. more hurry, less speed. b. better late than never. c. silence is gold. d. practice makes perfect.44. the text is most probably taken from a _ a. teachers diary b. report on studyc. sports newspaper d. movie magazineb the murder took place around ten o clock p. m. on june 10th. thirty-two people watched kitty being killed right beneath their windows. she was their neighbor. yet, none of the 32 helped her. not even one called the police. was this inhumane cruelty? was it lack of feeling for ones fellow man? not so, say scientists dr. darley and dr. fatane. theyve found the reasons why people dont act. according to them, a person has to go through two steps before he can help. first he has to notice there is an emergency. suppose you see a middle-aged man fall onto the ground. is he having a heart attack, or some other physical trouble? or is he simply about to sleep off a drunk? so its not always easy to tell if you are faced with a real emergency. second and more important, the person faced with an emergency must feel himself responsible. he must feel that he must help. the researchers found that a lot depends on how many people are around. they asked college students to come in to be tested. some came alone, some with one or two others, and some in large groups. when they came in either alone, in pairs, or in groups, a lady went into the next room. soon the students heard a scream, the noise of something falling and a cry for help. all of these had been pre-recorder. eight out of ten of the students taking the test alone acted to help. of the students in pairs, only two out of ten helped. of the students in groups, none helped. in other words, in a group, americans often fail to act. they feel that others will act. they, themselves, neednt. they do not feel any direct responsibility.45. why didnt the thirty-two people act to help kitty according to the passage? a. because they were afraid to be killed. b. because they were cruel in their hearts. c. because they thought others would help. , d. because they didnt notice the emergency.46. which of the following is an emergency.? a. someone is falling onto the ground. b. someone is needing help. c. someone is sleeping off a drunk. d. someone is having a heart attack.47. the result of the tests shows that_. a. none of the tested students acted to help b. the more people there are together, the more people will act to help c. the more people there are together, the fewer people will act to help d. college students would be more likely to help than ordinary americans48. it can be concluded from the passage that americans dont _ in a group. a. notice an emergency b. feel direct responsibility c. depend on each otherd. go through two steps before they act cmy senior year, i cant believe its almost over. now when i look back, it was stressful, but exciting, the ball, graduation, and then of course, college. i started my college application process months before christmas. my parents told me it would be smart if i set up interviews and tours. but 1 didnt have clear aim. i wanted to go to college, but i didnt want to deal with the stress. as the days flew by, my applications lay on my desk just as i had left them three months before. you are wasting valuable time, my parents complained. sweeping away the gathered dust on the applications, i worked on them every sunday until i finished. next came writing the essays. i had many ideas, but every school had different requirements. i changed them until i was pleased. finally, everything was underway. now i just had to wait. in march, i started receiving letters of rejection. i began to think that i had set myself up for disappointment. i had a letter from salem state college stating that they wanted to see my third quarter grades before they made their decision. yes! at least someone wanted to consider me. at the beginning of april, i received a letter from keens state. i had been rejected. those opening words we regret to inform you. made me sit down and cry. i had lost all hope. then i heard from plymouth state. not my first choice, but.i had been accepted. maybe if i get my grades up, l can transfer to another school. the college application process hurt me deeply. all my friends had dozens of schools to choose from. i guess my parents were right. high school grades are undoubtedly important to your future plans. if i could do it all over again, i would take it more seriously.49. how did the writer feel in the way of going to college? a. happy. b. sad. c. mixed. d. changeable.50. which of the following is not true? a. the writer thought senior year was stressful. b. the writer didnt set up interviews and tours. c. the writer had a strong desire to get to college. d. the writer was afraid of the pressure of college.51. what does the underlined sentence mean? a. the writer was fired by the college. b. the writer was rejected by the college. c. the writer couldnt go to any college. d. the writer couldnt go to college forever.52. the writer felt at the end of the passage. a. honourable b. relieved c. regretful d. hopeless d business week ( oct. 8,2008 ) introducing business weeks power 100, our ranking of the most influential people in the world of sports.prospect(展望) ( oct. 20,2008) in july, gordon brown published a green paper called the governance of britain.” the final section said that we need to be clearer about the rights and responsibilities of citizenship and what it means to be british. it proposed(倡议) to work with the public to develop a british statement of values. we asked 50 writers and intellectuals to give us their thoughts on this statement and what should inform it.science( sep. 28,2008) in the journals 28 september 2008 issue, science, in partnership with the national science foundation, is pleased to present the winners and honorable mentions in the fifth annual science and engineering visualization(视觉) challenge.time( sep. 1,2008 ) from the phone that has changed phones forever, to futuristic cars, to a building made of water, to a remote controlled dragonfly(蜻蜓)a dazzling display of ingenuity(独创性).guardian( oct. 17,2008) against all the odds, and seeing off competition from favourite to win ian mcewan and lloyd jones, rank outsider anne enright,45, has been awarded the man booker prize for what the judges called a powerful, uncomfortable and even at times angry book, the gathering.53. what do these five books have in common?
