there were colder days.even though the daylight hours are growing longer minute by minute, its easy to find an excuse not to go out unless you absolutely must, but then again i often have to push myself to accomplish things.people i speak to have been in all kinds of nasty moods. they say theyre “under the weather,” not feeling good about this time of year.as i stood outside with my two dogs yesterday, it was so cold that my nose and face felt frozen and my ears were stinging.of course, that doesnt matter to ricky and lucy. they have a routine they must go through to find just the fighting spot no matter how cold or hot it is.so i wait.but this time it was different. as cold as it was, i suddenly was excited thinking about how wonderful this extreme cold really was.then the sun broke through the clouds and memories of summers extremely hot days flashed through my mind. i could remember standing in the heat of the afternoon, with sweat pouring down my brow and the hot, burning sun against my face. i reminded myself then and there that in the cold of the winter i would wish i had this heat.i was grateful for the extremes. without the extremes in my life, i would never appreciate the days when things were just right. without the extremes, life would be boring.its being pushed to one of the extremes that makes us appreciate the middle more. health challenges remind us that we need to pay more attention to how we live. financial extremes remind us that when things go smoothly its also time to save for raining days.ive come to the conclusion that all too often i find a reason not to be happy with where i am at that moment.whether its hot or cold, good health or bad, in the money or out of it, i always want it to be different.im tired of being “under the weather!”46. what is the authors attitude towards the extremes in life?a. grateful.b. critical. c. negative.d. unconcerned.47. that day the writer waited in the terrible cold because _.a. his dogs wanted to huntb. he wanted to face the cold bravelyc. his dogs had a routined. he wanted to be different48. the underlined word “nasty” (paragraph 3) can be replaced by _.a. unpleasantb. violent c. favorable d. unusualbi hated writing thank-you notes as a child, but i had no choice: my mother was adamant (坚决的) about honoring other peoples kindness and generosity. but now after a childhood spent crafting those notes, the music of gratitude flows naturally from me.i hire brant to build an arbor (凉亭) around my front door. i drew it exactly as i wanted, and he realized my vision perfectly. surprised at how the arbors beauty uplifted me every time i stepped into my house, i called brant a few weeks after the arbor went up. he answered the phone defensively.“what can i do for you?” he asked, his voice cold and distant.“you can say, youre welcome, ” i responded.“i dont understand,” brant shot back.“i am calling to say thank you. silence.“what do you mean?” he asked.“i love my arbor, and i wanted you to know how much i appreciate your work.”more silence.“ive been doing this work for 20 years, and no one has ever called to thank me for it,” said brant. “people only call me when they have problems.” he was doubtful. i also had a similar experience with l.j. he answered my questions, didnt push, and gave me space to think and decide. i wrote to let him know that he completely exceeded (超出) my expectations of what a beat-them-down car sales experience would be like, and that i was happy with my car choice. l.j. called me a few days later. he said that this was the first thank-you note in the history of the dealership.are we really living in an age when feedback (反馈) only closes with complaint? it seems to me that when we focus on problems, we only have dissatisfaction and complaint. but when we focus on celebrating goodness, we are likely to turn it into something positive.49. what can we learn from the first paragraph? a. music is one of the authors favorite subjects. b. expressing gratitude has become a habit for the author. c. the authors mother is a very kind and generous woman. d. the author used to help his mother write thank-you

telling his own experiences, the author tries to show _. a. how to express thanks to others b. how to deal with interpersonal relationships c. the kindness of people who serve him d. the importance of expressing thankscdrinking water: bottled or from the tap?in america, people will include a case or two of bottled water when buying the weeks groceries. when they are going to a soccer game or activity, its common for them to grab a cold bottle of water out of the fridge with themin fact, americans buy more bottled water than any other nation in the world, about 29 billion bottles a yearbut all these plastic bottles use a lot of fossil fuels and pollute the environmentin order to make all the 29 billion bottles, producers use 17 million barrels of crude oil, which is enough to keep a million cars going for 12 monthsso why dont people drink water straight from the tap? some people have a strong belief that bottled water is better than water out of the tap, but thats not necessarily truein the us, the local governments make sure water from the tap is safethere is also growing concern that chemicals in the bottles themselves may go into the waterpeople love the convenience of bottled waterbut maybe if they realized the problems it causes, they would try drinking from a glass at home or carrying water in a reusable steel container instead of plasticsome argue that plastic bottle recycling can helprecycled bottles can be turned into items like carpeting or clothingunfortunately, only one in six bottles is recycledthe rest make it to landfills（垃圾填埋场）or end as trash in other placesplastic bottles take hundreds of years for them to disintegratewater is important for you, so keep drinking itbut think about how often you use water bottles, and see if you can make a changeand yes, you can make a differenceremember this: recycling one plastic bottle can save enough energy to power a 60-watt light bulb for six hours53. how many cars can be kept going for a year by the crude oil used to make 29 billion bottles?a. 100 b. 1,000 c. 100,000d. 1,000,00054. why do americans prefer bottled water?a. bottled water is better than water from the tapb. bottled water is

americans_.a. drink more water from the tapb. send plastic bottles to landfillsc. use water bottles to power light bulls.d. buy bottles filled with water from the tap dpsychologists have discovered that even the most independent-minded of us will conform to social pressure when we are with a group of people. in one classic experiment, people were shown a vertical（垂直的）line and asked to find a line of identical length from a selection of three.you might think that this is an absurdly easy task, and when people perform it by themselves they do very well. however, psychologists have discovered that we are very easily swayed by the opinions of other people when we do this task in a group. in one study, a group of three people was set up, where two of the people were confederates（同伙）of the experimenter. when the confederates deliberately gave wrong answers, people were often swayed to give the wrong answer also. in fact, 75% of people gave at least one wrong answer, with some people conforming to peer pressure on every occasion.but why do people conform in this way? in an easy task like this, it seems that people do not want to step out of line with the prevailing opinion of the group. on more difficult tasks, people also conform because they lose confidence in their own ability to make decisions and prefer to trust the majority opinion instead.a typical example of this kind of conformity arises when we come across people in distress. would you help a woman who has been attacked in the street? it turns out that you are much more likely to go to her assistance if you are alone. when other people are also around, a diffusion of responsibility occurs. people are paralysed into inaction, because everyone assumes that someone else will go to the womans assistance.57. in paragraph 1, the underlined word “conform” probably means “ ”. a. seek independenceb. disobey ordersc. follow what others dod. seek pleasure58. what is the purpose of the experiment described in paragraph 2?a. to explain why would people be influenced by the opinions of others.b. to prove that people are easily influenced by the opinions of others.c. to train the confederates of the experimenter as independent minded.d. to describe how people would be influenced by the opinions of others.59. in the last paragraph, according to the author, why wouldnt one help the woman?a. he thinks he has no responsibilities to give a hand.b. he thinks he has nothing to do with it.c. he is too shy to give his helping hand.d. he thinks someone else will offer assistance.60. what method does the author mainly use to develop the text?a. giving examples.b. cause-effect analysis.c. comparative analysis.d. process analysts.e第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从下框的af选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。 选项中有一项为多余选项。a. look up things in the dictionary. b. figure out things on your own. c. exercise your mind in different ways. d. study
