special sign-language is frequently 36 by tramps to inform their 37 whether the host of a certain house is friendly or unfriendly, and to 38 them the trouble of making unnecessary calls. quite 39 one day, i came across a real tramp. he was such a rare sight these days that i stood some distance away and watched him. he was dressed just as a tramp should be in, old worn trousers, and a jacket many sizes too big for him. on his head there was a battered old hat and his boots were so old and worn; they were almost coming into pieces. but the man himself looked cheerful as if he had not a 40 in the world. he rubbed his nose with his forefinger, 41 a funny turn, laid a small parcel 42 the front gate, and began 43 a sign made by a former caller. although the sign was meaningless to me, it must have been 44 , for the tramps face lit up with satisfaction. he entered the front gate 45 and rang the bell. when the door opened, i saw him raise his hat 46 couldnt hear his words. the 47 was very short indeed, for no sooner had he spoken a few words than the door closed fiercely in his face.i felt 48 for him as he walked sadly out of the house. but just as quickly, his face lit up again and he moved quickly towards the gate. there he stopped, looked at the sign, and shook his head seriously as if he had made a bad mistake. 49 deeply into his pockets, he produced a piece of chalk, rubbed out the existing sign and made a new one in its place. he stared at it for a moment smiling to himself, then gathered his belongings, pushed back his hat and began walking towards the next house at an unhurried 50 , whistling as he went along.36. a. employedb. madec. takend. put up37. a. coachesb. classmates c. fellows d. friends38. a. share b. save c. give d. urge39. a. in a way b. by mistake c.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。awhen i was in college, a man named henry worked as a custodian (看门人) in our student union building. white-haired, with a pennsylvania dutch accent, henry could usually be seen in a baseball cap, a t-shirt and a pair of jeans.he was the custodian, and he was the most respected and most well-known person in the building. everyone loved henry, and it was because of all the implicit ways he expressed his love for everyone around him. henry didnt have to say, “i love you.” he lived his love.henry was always excited when he met someone new, and he wanted to know everything about them. he felt it was important to do things for people he valued. and henry seemed to value everyone he met. he brought in articles or cartoons for certain people, went out of his way to introduce people to each other, kept dozens of names and birthdays in his wallet so he could send cards, and helped students keep in touch with graduates who had written to him. he even assisted students who didnt have enough money to buy their books. henry taught me - and many others he supported - how to live life to the fullest. not by skydiving or exploring some foreign countries, but by appreciating where you are in life and valuing those around you.the funny thing is that despite all he did and taught us, henry truly believed that he was the lucky one - that he was the one who was gaining so much by getting to know us. but all of us who remember henry know that we were the ones who were truly blessed. we will never forget the man who taught us that best way to say “i love you” often has little to do with the words. 51. what does the word “implicit” in paragraph 2 most probably mean?a. unstated.b. appropriate.c. well-mannered.d. charming.52. according to the passage, working as a custodian in a college, henry _. a. made international travels to live a full lifeb. was a role model of how to be a caring personc. was busy organizing former students reunionsd. gathered plenty information about the needy students53. henry was always excited to meet new people because _.a. it would make people think highly of himb. he was the most popular person in the collegec. it was part of his responsibility as a custodiand. he treasured everything around him in his life54. which of the following word cannot be used to describe henry?a. gracious.b. adventurous.c. supportive.d. sympathetic.belderly adults who regularly drink green tea may stay more agile (敏捷的) and independent than their peers over time, according to a japanese study that covered thousands of people.green tea contains antioxidant chemicals (抗氧化物) that may help stop the cell damage that can lead to disease. researchers have been studying green teas effect on everything from cholesterol (胆固醇) to the risk of certain cancers, with mixed results so far.they found those who drank the most green tea were the least likely to develop “functional disability”, or problems with daily activities or basic needs, such as dressing or bathing.specifically, almost 13 percent of adults who drank less than a cup of green tea per day became functionally disabled, compared with just over 7 percent of people who drank at least five cups a day.the study did not prove that green tea alone kept people agile as they grew older. green-tea lovers generally had healthier diets, including more fish, vegetables and fruit, as well as more education, lower smoking rates, fewer heart attacks and strokes, and greater mental sharpness. they also tended to be more socially active and have more friends and family to rely on. but even with those factors accounted for, green tea itself was tied to a lower disability risk, the researchers said. people who drank at least five cups a day were one-third less likely to develop disabilities than those who had less than a cup per day. those people who averaged three or four cups a day had a 25 percent lower risk.although its not clear how green tea might offer a buffer (缓冲) against disability, tomatas team did note that one recent study found green tea extracts (提取物) seem to increase leg muscle strength in older women.while green tea and its extracts are considered safe in small amounts, they do contain caffeine and small amounts of vitamin k, which means it could affect drugs that prevent blood clotting (凝固).55. what can be learned from the passage?a. antioxidant chemicals can lead to disease.b. those who often drank green tea cant develop “functional disability”.c. “functional disability” is related to problems with daily activities or basic needs.d. people who drank at least five cups a day are not likely to become functionally disabled.56. what does the fifth paragraph mainly tell us?a. how the study was proved.b. why green tea-lovers can keep agile.c. what healthier diets include.d. how to lower disability risk.57. what have the researchers discovered?a. those who drank green tea cant develop “functional disability”.b. green tea alone kept people agile as they grew older.c. how green tea might offer a buffer against disability.d. green tea extracts (提取物) seem to increase leg muscle strength in older women.cevery day we experience one of the wonders of the world around us without even realizing it. it is not the amazing complexity of television, nor the impressive technology of transport. the universal wonder we share and experience is our ability to make noise with our mouths, and so transmit ideas and thoughts to each others minds. this ability comes so naturally that we tend to forget what a miracle it is.obviously, the ability to talk is something that marks humans off from animal. of course, some animals have powers just as amazing, birds can fly thousands miles by observing positions of the stars in the sky in relation to the time of day and year. in natures talent show, humans are a species of animal that have developed their own special act. if we reduce it to basic terms, its an ability for communicating information to others, by varying sounds we make as we breathe out.not that we dont have other powers of communication. our facial expressions convey our emotions, such as anger, or joy, or disappointment. the way we hold our heads can indicate to others whether we are happy or sad. this is so-called “body language”. bristling(直立的) fur is an unmistakable warning of attack among many animals. similarly, the bowed head or drooping tail shows a readiness to take second place in any animal gathering.such a means of communication is a basic mechanism that animals, including human beings, instinctively acquire and display. is the ability to speak just another sort of instinct? if so, how did human beings acquire this amazing skill? biologist can readily indicate that particular area of our brain where speech mechanisms function, but this doesnt tell us how that part of our bodies originated in our biological history.58. according to the passage, the wonder we take for granted(认为理所当然) is_.a. our ability to use languageb. the miracle of technologyc. the amazing power of nature d. our ability to make noises with mouth59. what feature of “body language” mentioned in the passage is common to both human and animals?a. lifting heads when sad.b. keeping long faces when angry.c. bristling hair when ready to attack.d. bowing heads when willing to obey.60. what can be inferred from paragraph 3?a. body language is unique to humans.b. animals express emotions just as humans do.c. humans have other powers of communication.d. humans are no different from animals to some degree.61. this passage is mainly about _.a. the development of body language.b. the special role humans play in naturec. the power to convey information to othersd. the difference between humans and animals in language usedas we drove along, my spirits went up again, and i turned, with pleasure, to the thought of the new life which i was entering. but though it was not far past the middle of september, the heavy clouds and strong north-easterly wind combined to make the day extremely cold; and the journey seemed a very long one, so that it was nearly one oclock before we reached the place of our destination. yet when we entered the gateway, my heart failed me, and i wished it were a mile or two farther off. for the first time in my life i must stand alone: there was no retreating now. i must enter that house, and introduce myself among its strange people. but how was it to be done? true, i was near nineteen; but, thanks to the protecting care of my mother and sister, i well knew that many a girl of fifteen, or under, was gifted with a more womanly addre
