environment第三部分：阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)a one day while shopping in a small town in southern california, it was my misfortune to be approached by a clerk whose personality conflicted with mine. he seemed most unfriendly and not at all concerned about my intended purchase (购买). i bought nothing, and marched angrily out of the store. my hostility(敌意) toward that clerk increased with each step. on the outside, standing by the road, was a dark-skinned young man in his early twenties. his expressive brown eyes met and held mine, and in the next instant a beautiful,dazzling smile covered his face. i gave way immediately. the magnetic power of that smile dissolved all bitterness within me, and i found the muscles in my own face happily responding. beautiful day, isnt it? i remarked, in passing. then, i turned back. i really owe you a debt of gratitude, i said softly. his smile deepened, but he made no attempt to answer. a mexican woman and two men were standing nearby. the woman stepped forward and volunteered, sir, but he doesnt speak english. do you want me to tell him something? in that moment i felt transformed. the young mans smile had made a big person of me. my friendliness and good will toward all mankind stood ten feet tall. thank you? the woman seemed slightly puzzled. i gave her arm a friendly pat as i turned to leave. just tell him that, i insisted. hell understand. i am sure! oh, what a smile can do! although i have never seen that young man again, i shall never forget the lesson he taught me that morning. from that day on, i became smile-conscious, and i practice the art anywhere and everywhere, with everybody.56. why did the author leave the store angrily? a. he couldnt buy what he wanted. b. the clerk treated him unkindly. c. the clerk didnt speak english.d. the stores goods were too dear.57. the underlined word dissolved in the second paragraph probably means_.a. causedb. removedc. appliedd. sensed58. by saying i felt the muscles in my own face happily responding ( in paragraph 2), the author means _.a. he smiled back at the young manb. he did not want to smilec. he would thank the young mand. he was still in a bad mood59. the author asked the woman to say thank you! to the young man because the young man _.a. had helped the author beforeb. taught the author how to smilec. taught the author a valuable lessond. was a kind employee of the store60. in the passage, the author seems to suggest that we should _.a. be generous to strangers b. practice smiling every dayc. help people in trouble d. smile at other peopleb there is a common belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling, no school i have taught in has ever considered spelling unimportant as a basic skill. there are, however, quite different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority (优先) it must be given over general language development and writing ability. the problem is how to encourage a child to express himself freely in writing without holding him back with spelling. if spelling becomes the only point of his teachers interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to play safe. he will write only words within his spelling range. thats why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability. i was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience: this work is terrible!there are far too many spelling mistakes. it may have been a sharp criticism of the pupils technical abilities in writing, but it was also a sad thing for the teacher who had omitted (略过) to read the composition, which contained some beautiful expressions of the childs deep feelings. the teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the mistakes, but if his priority had centered on the childs ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more hope to seek improvement.61. teachers differ in their opinions about _ a. the difficulties in teaching spelling b. the necessity of teaching spelling c. the importance of the basic writing skills d. the role of spelling in general language development62. the expression play safe probably means _.a. to write carefully b. to avoid using words one is not sure ofc. to use dictionaries frequentlyd. to do as teachers say63. teachers encourage the use of dictionaries so that _.a. students will be able to express their ideas more freelyb. teachers will have less trouble in correcting mistakesc. students wili have more trust in writingd. students will learn to spell words correctly64. the writer seems to think that the teachers judgment on that sensitive piece of writing is _.a. reasonableb. unfair c. foolish d. careless65. the main idea of the passage is _. a. the importance of developing writing skills b. the importance of spelling c. the correct way of marking composition d. the relationship between spelling and the content of a compositionc not all memories are sweet. some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. often the experiences in nightmares appear repeatedly. now american researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. the pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. they hope it might reduce, or possibly wipe out, the effect of painful memories. in november, experts tested a drug on people in the us and france. the drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. so far, the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are wiped out. they are not sure to what degree peoples memories are affected. the research has caused a lot of argument. some think it is a bad idea, while others support it. supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers troubling memories after war. they say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.some memories can ruin peoples lives. they come back to you when you dont want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. they usually come with very painful emotions, said roger pitman, a professor of psychiatry at harvard medical school. this could relieve a lot of that suffering. but those who are against the research say that maybe the pills can change peoples memories and changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity. they also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.all of us can think of bad events in our lives that were terrible at the time but make us who we are. im not sure we want to wipe those memories out. said rebecca dresser, a medical ethicist(伦理学家).66. the passage is mainly about _.a. a new medical inventionb. a new research on the pillc. an argument about the research on the pilld. a way of wiping out painful memories67. the drug tested on people can _. a. cause the brain to fix memories b. stop people remembering bad experiences c. wipe out the emotional effects of memories d. prevent body producing certain chemicals68. we can infer from the passage that _. a. experts are not sure about the effects of the pills b. the pill will certainly stop peoples emotional memories c. taking the pill will do harm to peoples physical healthd. the pill has already been produced and used by the public america69. which of the following does rebecca dresser agree with in the iast paragraph? a. some memories can ruin peoples lives. b. people want to get rid of bad memories. c. experiencing bad events makes us different from others. d. the pill will reduce peoples sufferings from bad memories.70. you may probably read the passage in _.a. a guidebookb. a textbookc. a medical magazined. a science fictiond upon reaching an appropriate age (usually between 18 and 21 years), children are encouraged, but not forced, to leave the nest and begin an independent life. after children leave home, they often find social relationship and financial support outside the family. parents do not arrange marriages for their children, nor do chiidren usually ask permission of their parents to get married. romantic love is most often the basis for marriage in the united states; young adults meet their future spouses (配偶) through other friends, at jobs, and in organizations and religious institutions. although children choose their own spouses, they still hope their parents will approve of their choices. in many families, parents feel that children should make major life decisions by themselves. a parent may try to influence a child to follow a particular profession but the child is free to choose another career. sometimes children do exactly the opposite of what their parents wish in order to be independent. a son may decide not to go into his fathers business on purpose because of a fear that he will lose his autonomy(自主) in his fathers workplace. this independence from parents is not an indication that parents and children do not love each other. strong love between parents and children is universal and this is no exception in the american family. coexisting (共存) with such love in the american family are cultural values of self-reliance and independence.71. the writer discusses the marriage of young
