.a. it contained poison only for adultsb. it was kept in the kitchenc. it was broken by the childd. it appeared like a nice drink 58. the husbands attitude towards his wife can be described as .a. optimisticb. confidentc. considerated. generous59. what did the writer intend to tell us about life? . a. think of nothing and life will be easyb. it is always useless finding who is responsiblec. let go the negative side and we can enjoy life.d. life should give way to responsibilitybfrom school to band practice, the venturi eclectic is an earth-friendly way to get where you want to go. this battery-powered, zero-emission (meaning it doesnt pollute the air) vehicle runs mainly on renewable energy. solar panels on the eclectics roof absorb sun rays when youre driving. on windy days, you can connect a machine to the cars roof that collects energy from the wind while youre parked. the eclectics top speed is 28 miles an hour; the battery lasts for 31 miles before it needs to be recharged. zipping (迅速行进) around the neighborhood has never been better.heres an eco-friendly way to tell time: simply fill the bedol water-powered clocks tank (箱) with water, add some lemon juice, and the clock will display the time without the need for environmentally harmful batteries. there are two sets of metal electrodes (电极) inside the water tank. water contains ions (离子) that carry negative and positive charges. these ions complete a charge between the electrodes, creating enough energy to power the clock. just refill the tank every few weeks, and this clock will keep on ticking.youre having a blast at your friends birthday party. but when its time to bring out the cake, everyone crowds around, blocking your view. no worries. throw the triops into the air, and this clever camera catches the view from above. the triops can take three pictures at once, each from different angles. you can also record sounds and command the triops to start shooting (拍摄)whenever it hears that noise. thats one smart camera.60. according to the passage, the venturi eclectic .a. is popular with businessmenb. is suitable for a long tripc. has only a little gas emissiond. can turn wind into energy61. what is the common characteristic of the venturi eclectic and the bedol water-powered clock?a. they dont need batteries.b. they can be powered by water. c. they are difficult to operate.d. they are environmentally friendly.62. the underlined phrase “having a blast” in the last paragraph probably means .a. looking at a pictureb. recording sounds c. enjoying yourselfd. blowing out a candlecthe royal family is a part of british history and cultural identity. up until the 17th century, people believed that the british king or queen had a “divine(天赐的)right” to rule. this was the idea that god chose the king or queen and that he or she was therefore above the law. however, this idea was challenged during the english civil war, when king charles the first was put in prison and then killed in 1649. so what role does the british royal family have today? the queen is head of the uk and the commonwealth. she has important formal duties that go with her different titles. as head of state, for example, she represents the uk on visits abroad and invites other world leaders to visit the uk；as head of the armed forces in name, only she can declare when the uk is at war or when a war is over. she has to sign many government and commonwealth documents every day. although the royal family does the work for the uk, there are british people called“anti-monarchists(反君主制者)”who do not believe there should be a royal family. one criticism(批评意见)is that the british people should not have to pay for the royal family with their taxes(税). today, the royal family works hard to be relevant(相关的)in the modern world. the queen still gives a speech to the nation on television at christmas, but it gets less and less formal every year；now it is even available as a podcast(播客). in 2005, after graduating from university, prince william spent time teaching english in uruguay, the sort of work many ordinary young british people do in their gap years. 63. what can be concluded from the first two paragraphs?a. the british king or queen is considered above the law. b. the english revolution put an end to the british royal family in 1649. c. the british king or queen is no longer believed to rule by divine right. d. the royal family didnt play an important role in britain in the 17 th century. 64. which of the following is among the formal duties of the queen? a. traveling around the uk. b. declaring when the world is at war. c. inviting other leaders to have dinner with her. d. signing commonwealth documents every day. 65. with the example of prince william in the last paragraph, the author intends to show that .a. prince william is very popular in the ukb. the royal family is trying to connect better with ordinary peoplec. prince william has made an effort to win young peoples admirationd. many young british people do voluntary work66. it can be inferred from the passage that _. a. the royal family doesnt have to pay taxesb. the british people are all in favor of the royal familyc. the british people can talk to the queen through a podcast d. the royal family attacks republicans through media and press done period of our lives when better results are demanded of us is, strangely enough, childhood. despite being young we are expected to achieve good grades, stay out of trouble, make friends at school, do well on tests, perform chores (杂务)at home and so on. its not easy.likeable children enjoy many advantages, including the ability to deal more easily with stresses of growing up.in her book understanding child stress, dr. carolyn leonard states that children who are likeable and optimistic are able to gain support from others. this leads to focus and resilience（适应力）, the ability to recover from or adjust early to life stress. much research shows that resilience has enabled children to succeed in school, avoid drug abuse, and develop a healthy self-awareness(自我意识).why does a likeable child more easily handle stress and do better in his or her life? because likeability helps create whats known as a positive feedback loop(回馈圈). the positive feelings you want to see in other people are returned to you, creating constant encouragement and motivation to deal with the daily stress of life.this feedback loop continues into adulthood. to return once again to the example of teaching, learning becomes easier with a likeable personality. michael delucchi of the university of hawaii reviewed dozens of studies to determine if likeable teachers received good ratings because of their l
