Indeed, in Britain, he might be in the Traffic Police and spend all, or a lot of, his time 41 up and down main roads and motorways (高速公路).

When groups of men and women watch a movie together, the men usually end up telling the women to shut up. Men can either talk or watch the screen-they cant do both-and they dont understand that women can. Besides, women consider that the point of all getting together is to have a good time and develop relationships-not just to sit there like couch potatoes staring at the screen.During the ad breaks, a man often asks a woman to explain the plot and tell him where the relationship between the characters is going. He is unable, unlike women, to read the subtle body language signals that reveal how the characters are feeling emotionally. Since women originally spent their days with the other women and children in the group, they developed the ability to communicate successfully in order to maintain relationships. For a woman, speech continues to have such a clear purpose: to build relationships and make friends. For men, to talk is to relate the facts.Men see the telephone as a communication tool for sending facts and information to other people, but a woman sees it as a means of bonding. A woman can spend two weeks on vacation with her girlfriend and, when she returns home, telephone the same girlfriend and talk for another two hours.There is no convincing evidence that social conditioning, the fact that girls mothers talked them more, is the reason why girls talk more than boys. Psychiatrist Dr Michael Lewis, author of Social Behavior and Language Acquisition, conducted experiments that found mothers talked to and looked at, baby girls more often than baby boys. Scientific evidence shows parents respond to the brain bias of their children. Since a girls brain is better organized to send and receive speech, we therefore talk to them more. Consequently, mothers who try to talk to their sons are usually pointed to receive only short grunts in reply.56. While watching TV with others, women usually talk a lot because they _A. are afraid of awkward silence with their families and friendsB. can both talk and watch the screen at the same timeC. think they can have a good time and develop relationshipsD. have to explain the plot and body language to their husbands57. After a vacation with her girlfriend, a woman would talk to her again on the phone for hours in order to_.A. experience the happy time again B. keep a close tie with herC. recommend her a new scenic spot D. remind her of something forgotten58. What does the author want to tell us most?A. Womens brains are better organized for language and communicationB. Women love to talk because they are more sociable than men.C. Men do not like talking because they rely more on facts.D. Social conditioning is not the reason why women love talking.59. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Women Are Socially Trained to TalkB. Talking Maintains RelationshipsC. Women Love to Talk D. Men Talk Differently from WomenBYou never see them, but theyre with you every time you fly. They record where you are going, how fast youre traveling and whether everything on your airplane is functioning normally. Their ability to withstand (经受) almost any disaster makes them seem like something out of a comic book. Theyre known as the black box.When planes fall from the sky, as a Yemeni airliner did on its way to Comoros Islands in the Indian Ocean June 30, 2009, the black box is the best for identifying what went wrong. So when a French submarine (潜水艇) discovered the equipments homing (能自寻找的) signal five days later, the discovery marked a huge step toward determining the cause of a tragedy in which 152 passengers were killed.In 1958, Australian scientist David Warren developed a flight-memory recorder that would track basic information like altitude and direction. That was the first mode (模式) for a black box, which became a requirement on all US commercial flights by 1960. Early models often failed to withstand crashes, however, so in 1965 the device was completely redesigned and moved to the back part of the plane from its original position in the landing wells (起落架舱). The same year, the Federal Aviation Authority required that the boxes, which were never actually black, be painted orange or yellow to be easy to see.Modern airplanes have two black boxes: a voice recorder, which tracks pilots conversations, and a flight-data recorder, which monitors fuel levels, engine noises and other operating functions that help investigators reconstruct the aircrafts final moments. Placed in an insulated (隔绝的) case and surrounded by a quarter-inch-thick panels of stainless steel (不锈钢板), the boxes can withstand powerful force and temperatures up to 2,000 F. When under the surface of water, theyre also able to give off signals from depths of 20,000 ft. Experts believe the boxes from MH379, which is now reported to have crashed in Indian Ocean in March, 2014, are in deep water. The boxes have stopped sending signals now but statistics say theyre likely to turn up. In the approximately 20 deep-sea crashes over the past 30 years, only one planes black boxes were never recovered.60. What does the author say about the black box?A. It ensures the normal functioning of an airplane.B. The idea for its design comes from a comic book.C. Its ability to avoid disasters is unbelievable.D. It is necessary equipment on an airplane.61. What information could be found from the black box on the Yemeni airliner?A. Data for analyzing the cause of the crash.B. The total number of passengers on board.C. The scene of the crash and extent of the damage.D. Homing signals sent by the pilot before and crash.62. Why was the black box redesigned in 1965?A. New materials became available by that time.B. Too much space was needed for its equipment.C. The early models often got damaged in the crash.D. The early models didnt provide the needed data.63. What do we know about the black boxes from MH370?A. There is a chance of their being recovered.B. There is an urgent need for them to be reconstructed.C. They have continued sending homing signals.D. They were destroyed somewhere near Malaysia.CFix it on your ownDid you know that a bowl of rice could save your iPod if you drop it in a swimming pool by accident? Or that the camera on your phone could tell you whats wrong with your TV remote control? The experts at Geek Squad (geelsquad.co.uk) have made a gadget (小机件) rescue guide. So, lets take a look at some of their useful advice. How to get more juice out of your phone batterIf your battery goes dead but you need to get a number or send one last text, try warming it up. That may give you a tiny bit of power. Take the battery from the phone and rub it between your hands. Or warm it under your arm for a few minutes. Then try to start the phone but use it quickly. What to do if your gadget gets wetFirst, try drying it out with a vacuum cleaner (真空吸尘器). If a vacuum cleaner isnt at hand, fill a pot or bowl with uncooked rice and put your wet gadget inside. The dry, uncooked rice will absorb all the water and, after a few hours, you should be able to use the gadget. Dont forget to remove the battery and SIM card before you dry it. What to do if your TV remote control stops workingIf replacing the batteries doesnt work, get the camera function up on your phone and point the remote at the lens (镜头). When you press a button on the remote, if it is working, the glass bobble (小球) at the front of the remote will light up when you look at it on the screen of your phone. This is because the screen on a phone or digital camera picks up infrared rays (红外线), even though your eyes dont. If the glass bobble doesnt light up, the remote is broken. If it does, the receiving device (装置) is broken.64. If your cell phone falls into a sink, you can _.A. warm it up under your armB. remove the battery after you dry itC. put it into the uncooked riceD. press it with both of your hands65. Why can a phone be used to prove the TV remote control works well? Because it can _.A. improve the TV remote controlB. receive infrared rayC. picture the TV remote controlD. reflect infrared ray66. In which section of a newspaper can we possibly read this text?A. LifeB. EntertainmentC. FinanceD. Culture67. The purpose of this passage is to give people _.A. personal opinionsB. professional guidesC. necessary warningsD. practical tipsDNo one gets through life without experiencing many disappointments. Strangely, though, most people seem unprepared for disappointment and react to it in negative ways. They feel depressed or try to escape from their troubles instead of using disappointment as an opportunity for growth.One negative reaction to disappointment is depression. A woman trying to win a promotion, for example, works hard for over a year in her department. Helen is so sure she will get the promotion. However, the boss names one of Helens co-workers for the spot. Deeply depressed, Helen loses her enthusiasm for her job and can barely force herself to show up every day. Helen tells herself that she is a failure and that doing a good job just isnt worth the work.Another negative reaction to disappointment is the desire to escape. Kevin fails to get into the college his brother is attending, the college that was the focus of all his dreams, and decides to escape his disappointment. Why worry about college at all? Instead, he covers up his real feelings by giving up on his school-work and getting completely involved with friends, parties, and “good times”.The positive way to react to disappointment is to use it as a chance for growth. This isnt easy, but its the only useful way to deal with an inevitable part of life. Helen, the woman who was not promoted, could have handled her disappointment by looking at otheroptions. If her boss did not recognize her talent and hard work, perhaps she could transfer to another department. Or she could ask the boss how to improve her performance so that she could prepare for the next promotion. Kevin, the boy who didnt get into the college of his choice, should look into other schools. Going to another college may encourage him to be his own person, step out of his brothers shadow, and realize that being turned down by one college isnt a final judgment on his abilities or potential.Disappointments are unwelcome, but regular visitors to everyones life. We can feel depressed about them or we can try to escape from them. The best thing, though, is to accept a disappointment and then try to use it somehow: Step over the unwelcome visitor on the doorstep and get on with life.68. In this passage, the author _.A. analyzes the cause of disappointmentB. describes his personal experience in dealing with disappointmentC. criticizes Helen and Kevins negative responses to disappointmentD. offers specific examples of the ways people deal with disappointment69. From the context, the word “option” (Para.4) means _.A. wayB. choiceC. placeD. job70. In the authors opinion, Helen should _ instead of feeling depressed.A. work even harder to get better than her promoted co-workerB. stand the pressure and competitionC. win a good opinion from the boss by seeking his adviceD. move into another department to have her talent and hard work appreciated71. Which of the following best expresses the main ides of this selection?A. Disappointment is an inevitable part of life and we have to handle it in a positive way.B. Life is made up of a series of disappointments. We have to accept them.C. There are two kinds of reactions to disappointment.D. Most people react to disappointment in negative ways.E“Mum, what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton (骨骼)in the cupboard” Jessica asked. “A skeleton in the closet?” her mother paused thoughtfully. “Well, its something that you would rather not have anyone else know about. For example, if in the past, someone in Dads family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be a skeleton in his familys closet. He really wouldnt want any neighbor to know about it.”Why pick on my family? Jessicas father said with anger. Your family history isnt so good, you know. Wasnt your great-great-grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes? Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners. Gosh, sorry I asked. I think I understand now, Jessica cut in before things grew worse.After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessicas parents were still quite angry with each other. Her mother w
