His simple “hello” made people feel 36 . His cheerful smile became a part of my day. When he was absent, many people noticed it, and I felt a little bit empty.

Though it was not fine and clouds appeared in the sky that morning, the little girl made her daily trip to school as usual. When school was over, winds became stronger and it began to rain. The mother of the little girl felt worried that her daughter would be afraid and that lightning might frighten(惊吓) her child. Following the bright light of lightning, the mother quickly got into her car and drove to her childs school. As the mother drove along the road, she saw her little girl walking alone in the rain. To her great surprise, she found that when a lightning came, her daughter stopped, looked up and smiled. Another lightning came and then another followed. With each lightning, the little girl stopped, looked up and smiled. Inside the car, the mother asked her daughter, “What were you doing? Why did you look up and smile when the lightning came?” The little girl answered with a smile, “Mum, you know, God was looking at me. Each time I felt a little afraid walking in the rain, God would take a picture of me. I knew he was playing a game with me.”50. The little girl went to school _ every day.

Be aware that some earthquakes are actually foreshocks(前震) and a larger earthquake might occur. Reduce your movements to a few steps to a nearby safe place. If you are indoors, do “duck, cover and hold”. Duck or drop down to the floor, under something strong, such as a table or a desk, cover your head and face with your arms and hands and hold on to that table or desk so that it does not move away from you as the ground shakes. Do this until the shaking stops and it is safe to move. Stay inside to avoid being injured by falling glass or building parts. If there isnt a table or desk near you, cover your face and head with your arms and crouch(蜷缩) in an inside corner of the building. Stay clear of windows, fireplaces, and heavy furniture that may fall over. Stay inside until the shaking stops and it is safe to go outside. Research has shown that most injuries occur when people inside buildings attempt to move to a different location inside the building or try to leave. If you are outside, get into the open and stay there. Move away from trees, buildings, signs and power lines. Once in the open, stay there until the shaking stops. The greatest danger exists directly outside buildings, at exits and alongside exterior walls. Ground movement during an earthquake is seldom the direct cause of death or injury. Most earthquake-related casualties（伤亡） result from collapsing walls, flying glass, and falling objects.If you are driving, you may not realize what is going on at first because the car may feel like it is going to blow up. Stop the car in as clear and open an area as possible and stay in it until the shaking stops. If it is a really bad quake, turn on the radio to find an emergency channel to get information. Follow the directions of people directing traffic. If you are in a mountainous area, watch out for falling rock and other debris that could be loosened by the earthquake. If you are at the beach, move quickly to higher ground or several hundred yards inland.53. Which of the following pictures means “duck, cover and hold”?来源:Zxxk.Com A B C D 54.

Disappointed with his low marks, he went to the library to find a book on how to use his brain. He was directed to the medical section. Confused, he said to the librarian, “I dont want to take my brain out, I just want to learn how to use it.” Her reply was simple: “Theres no book on that.” “I thought to myself,” says Buzan, “if I buy a little radio, I get an instruction manual (说明书). If I buy a microwave, I get an instruction manual. But for the most important machine in the world, no instruction manual?”Fifty years later, Buzan has become the worlds leading speaker on the brain and learning. In the late 1960s, he invented the mind map, a visual representation of thought processes. This kind of thinking has become a popular tool for planning, organizing, problem solving, and communicating across the world. He has since authored and co-authored over 100 books that have appeared in more than 30 languages.“I think in most cases, people use less than 1 percent of their brains,” he says. But how do you expand this 1 percent? How do you become the best student you can be? According to Buzan, the answer is simple. You take a section of whatever it is that you are trying to learn, he says, and you read it for its essence (精髓、要素). Then you make a mind map of all the important details. For a truly effective mind map, you start with a colored image in the center of your page. Draw the first image that comes to mind on the topic you are mind mapping. Branch off from your central image and create one of your main ideas. From your main branches draw some sub-branches and from those sub-branches you can draw even more branches. He emphasizes that you should use plenty of images and colors as these help with memory recall and encourage creativity.By using this visual format (形式), according to Buzan, your mind will begin to make associations that will help you remember more information for longer periods of time.Buzan believes that traditional note-taking methods, such as lists and summaries, do not stimulate the brains recall capacity or ability in the same way. Because of this, students will often find themselves locked away in their rooms for hours, trying hard to memorize separate details. Buzan believes that for a more effective and lasting way of studying, you must first understand how your brain works.“Everyone is born smart,” he says. “You just have to learn how to learn.”56. What is the main purpose of the first two paragraphs? A. To show that Tony Buzan was worried about his study. B. To invite us to think about the importance of manuals. C. To prove that the mind map is a useful tool for the brain. D. To show why Tony Buzan studies the brain and learning. 57. What does the word “stimulate” mean in the passage?A. Excite. B. Improve. C. Encourage. D. Affect. 58. What can we infer from the passage? A. If we learn the mind map, we will become the best student. B. The mind map will help your brain connect separate details. C. The mind map will be more effective if we put more details in it. D. We will solve the problem if we make connections between ideas.59. What is the best title for the passage?A. How to make the mind map? B. Is the mind map widely used? C. Can your memory be mapped? D. Is the mind map helpful in thinking? 七、阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。（共8分，每小题2分） Earth Hour started in Sydney on March 31st, 2007.

It lets you use your voice to do things on the iPhone. You can just talk to Siri as you talk to a person. Siri understands what you say, knows what you mean, and even talks back.

Its like youre having a conversation with your assistant. Siri not only understands what you say, but its also smart enough to know what you mean. So when you ask, “Any fast food restaurants around here?” Siri will reply, “I found a number of restaurants near you.” Then you can say, “Hmm. How about French fries?” Siri remembers that you just asked about restaurants for something to eat, so it will look for KFC restaurants in the neighborhood.
