male student who believed that doing any more than necessary was wasted effort. one day, this approach threw me into embarrassment. in mrs. tottens eighth-grade math class at central avenue school in anderson, indiana, we were learning to add and subtract decimals (小数). our teacher typically assigned daily homework, which would be recited in class the following day. on most days, our grades were based on our oral answer to homework questions. mrs. totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order the questions had appeared on our homework sheets. she would start either at the front or the back of the classroom and work toward the other end. since i was seated near the middle of about 35 students, it was easy to figure out which questions i might have to answer. this particular time, i had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations. what i failed to expect was that several students were absent, which threw off my estimate. as mrs. totten made her way from the beginning of the class，i desperately tried to determine which math problem i would get. i tried to work it out before she got to me, but i had brain freeze and couldnt function. when mrs. totten reached my desk, she asked what answer id got for problem no. 14. “ii didnt get anything,” i answered, and my face felt warm. “correct,” she said. it turned out that the correct answer was zero. what did i learn that day? first, always do all your homework. second, in real life it isnt always what you say but how you say it that matters. third, i would never make it as a mathematician. if i could choose one school day that taught me the most, it would be that one.26.what does the underlined part in paragraph 1 indicate?a. it is wise to value ones time.b. it is important to make an effortc. it is right to stick to ones belief.d. it is enough to do the necessary.27. usually, mrs. totten asked her students to _.a. recite their homework togetherb. grade their homework themselvesc. answer their homework questions orallyd. check the answers to their homework questions28. the author could work out which questions to answer since the teacher always _.a. asked questions in a regular wayb. walked up and down when asking questionsc. chose two or three questions for the studentsd. requested her students to finish their usual questions29. the author failed to get the questions he had expected because _.a. the class didnt begin as usualb. several students didnt come to schoolc. he didnt try hard to make his estimated. mrs. totten didnt start from the back of the class30. which of the following can be the best title for the passage?a. an unforgettable teacherb. a future mathematicianc. an effective approachd. a valuable lessonbcops and criminals have always played a cat and mouse game of chase. but what if the cat pretends to be one of its own enemies and a mouse does the opposite? it could be a thrilling but dangerous game. this is what billy costigan and colin sullivan do in the new hollywood film, “the departed.” it opened in hong kong and the us last friday and will arrive on the chinese mainland later this year. the movie is set in boston, where the police have been fighting against irish-american organized crime. young undercover (卧底) cop billy is sent to infiltrate (混入) the mob (匪帮) group run by frank costello. billy quickly gains costellos trust. at the same time colin sullivan, a young criminal who has infiltrated the police department, is rising to a position of power in the special investigation unit. he works as an informer for costello. each man struggles with his double life, finding out information about the criminal or police plans. but suddenly it becomes clear to both the mob group and the police that theres a spy among them. billy and colin are suddenly in danger of being found out by the enemy. each must race to discover who the other man is in time to save himself. dont be surprised if the plot sounds familiar to you. “the departed” is based on the 2002 hong kong hit film “infernal affairs”(无间道). but, writer william monahan said he hadnt seen “infernal affairs”. he used a translation of the chinese script. “my film is all about the engine of tragedy that is started when people depart from what they really should be doing with their lives?” said monahan. besides its plot, the careful exploration of the nature of good and evil raises “the departed” above the typical hollywood cop story. billy came up from the streets of boston. he wants to do things differently from the way his family did. however, he is asked to go undercover and pretend to be the very thing he was determined not to become. in a way, however, colin is an even more tragic character. he accepted a false set of values taught by costello when he was young and truly believes he will get away with everything.31. according to the passage who played a cat and mouse game of chase in the film?_.a. billy costigan and costello b. billy costigan and william monahanc. billy costigan and colin sullivan d. costello and william monahan32. the new hollywood film

affairs”d. is very popular among the young in the world33. what does the underlined sentence mean? _.a. most of hollywood police stories are about the nature of good and evilb. “the departed” should have more details about the nature of good and evilc. “the departed” overemphasized the nature of good and evild. the careful exploration of the nature of good and evil makes “the departed” better than others34. according to the passage which statement is not true? _.a. the film “the departed” is a modern tragedy.b. when billy was young he dreamed to be an undercover.c. colin believed in what costello said.d. “infernal affairs” was once very popular in hong kong.35. it can be inferred from the passage that the writer_.a. may not be interested in the film “the departed” b. may be a local americanc. may have his life ruined by costello d. thinks monahan must have read the story “infernal affairs” cstatuses are great human inventions that enable us to get along with one another and to determine where we “fit” in society. as we go about our everyday lives, we mentally attempt to place people in terms of their statuses. for example, we must judge whether the person in the library is a reader or a librarian, whether the telephone caller is a friend or a salesman, whether the unfamiliar person on our property is a thief or a meter reader, and so on.the statuses we assume often vary with the people we encounter, and change throughout life. most of us can, at very high speed, assume the statuses that various situations require. much of social interaction consists of identifying and selecting among appropriate statuses and allowing other people to assume their statuses in relation to us. this means that we fit our actions to those of other people, based on a constant mental process of appraisal and understanding although some of us find the task more difficult than others, most of us perform it rather effortlessly.a status has been compared to ready-made clothes. within certain limits the buyer can choose style and fabric. but an american is not free to choose the costume of a chinese peasant or that of a hindu prince. we must choose from among the clothing presented by our society. furthermore, our choice is limited to a size that will fit, as well as by our pocketbook (钱包). having made a choice within these limits we can have certain alterations made, but apart from minor adjustments, we tend to be limited to what the stores have on their racks. statuses too come ready made, and the range of choice among them is limited.36. in the first paragraph, the writer tells us that statuses can help us _.a. determine whether a person is fit for a certain jobb. behave appropriately in relation to other peoplec. protect ourselves in unfamiliar situationsd. make friends with other people37. according to the writer, people often assume different statuses _.a. in order to identify themselves with othersb. in order to better identify othersc. as their mental processes changed. as the situation changes38. the underlined word appraisal(line 5, para. 2) most probably means _.a. involvement b. appreciation c. assessment d. presentation39. in the last sentence of the second paragraph, the pronoun it refers to _.a. fitting our actions to those of other people appropriatelyb. identification of other peoples statusesc. selecting ones own statusesd. constant mental process40. by saying that” an american is not free to choose the costume of a chinese peasant or that of a hindu prince(lines 2-3, para. 3), the writer means _.a. different people have different styles of clothesb. our choice of statuses is limited c. statuses come ready made just like clothesd. ready-made clothes may need alterationsd scientists found we are such creatures of habit that once we have associated a place with a certain kind of food like popcorn at the cinema we will keep eating it - even if it is stale. researchers from the university of southern california devised a test to see what causes us to overeat. they gave people about to enter a cinema a bucket of just-popped fresh popcorn or stale week-old popcorn. moviegoers who didnt usually eat popcorn at the movies ate much less stale popcorn than fresh popcorn because it just didnt taste good. but those who said they typically had popcorn at the movies ate about the same amount of popcorn whether it was fresh or stale. in other words, for those in the habit of snacking at the movies it made no difference whether the popcorn tasted good or not. wendy wood said, “people believe their eating behavior is largely activated by how food tastes. nobody likes cold spongy week-old popcorn. but once we have formed an eating habit we no longer care whether the food tastes good.” david neal said, “when we have repeatedly eaten a particular food in a particular environment, our brain comes to associate the food with that environment and makes us keep eating as long as those environmental cues are present. ” the researchers also gave popcorn to people who were watching movie clips in a meeting room rather than in a cinema. in the meeting room a space not usually associated with popcorn it mattered a lot whether the popcorn tasted good. outside of the cinema context even habitual movie popcorn eaters ate much less stale popcorn than fresh popcorn, demonstrating the extent to which environmental cues can trigger automatic eating behavior. “the results show just how powerful our environment can be in triggering unhealthy behavior,” mr neal said. “sometimes willpower and good intentions are not enough and we need to trick our brains by controlling the environment instead.” maybe we can try to eat the popcorn with our non-dominant hand. 41. the research was carried out by university of southern california to _.a. figure out why people eat too much b. see why people enjoy popcorn in a cinema c. give advice on how to develop good eating habits d. look into what kind of popcorn is most liked by people42. the underlined word “stale” in the first paragraph probably means food that is “_”a. made by hand b. no longer good to eat c. enjoyed by moviegoers d. unsuitable to eat in a cinema43. what can we learn from the research by the university of southern california? a. eating behavior in a cinema was largely decided by how food tastes. b. whether popcorn tasted good mattered a lot in a meeting room. c. popcorn lovers in a cinema didnt care how popcorn tastes. d. people refused to eat popcorn in a meeting room.44. according to david neal, what is the most important in our unhealthy behavior? a. our friends. b. good intentions. c. environment. d. freshness of food.45. which of the following can be the best title for the passage? a. fresh popcorn - moviegoers favorite b. how to kick off unhealthy eating habits c. habit is something that can make one die d. environment and unhealthy eating behavior 第二节 信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
