With no indication as to whether a flight to Newcastle would happen in the next two days，I chose the bus ride.I stored all my baggage in the luggage compartment of the bus, thinking I would not need anything on the journey.The young lady sitting beside me could see how tired I was and asked me if anyone would be meeting me on my arrival.I realised that I had left my cell phone in my bag and had no way to contact my relatives. They would be waiting for me at the airport about five hours before the bus got to Newcastle, not knowing what had happened. Without hesitation, the young lady offered me the use of her cell phone.When the bus made a rest stop, she asked me if I was getting out.I replied that l wouldnt as I still had sandals on, and bare feet werent ideal for the cold weather. When she got back on, shed bought me some tea and a packet of sweets to eat.When we eventually arrived in Newcastle, the woman checked that someone was there to meet me.I asked her to wait a moment while I got my purse to repay her, but when I looked up she had gone.I was unable to even verbally thank her.()56. We learn from the passage that _.A. the authors relatives missed meeting her in LondonB. the authors cell phone wasnt functioning in BritainC. the author had little money to buy the air ticket from London to NewcastleD. the author probably flew to London from a warm place()57. Which of the following information is of great importance to the authors relatives?A. Where the author was put up. B. When the author would arrive.C. Why the flight was called off. D. Why the flight was delayed.()58. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. The author was kind of careless.B. The author was grateful to the airline.C. British people always suffer from terrible weather in winter.D. British people are usually helpful.BAccurately forecasting the weather is a very hard thing to do. There are many parts of weather dynamicsthe study of how water and air in motion cause weather patternsto consider. Even the best forecast can be changed by a small weather disturbance halfway around the world. Todays forecast use complex computer models, weather instruments, and detailed analyses of daily observations to predict the weather. However, it hasnt always been that way. People, like your grandparents, use folklore and proverbs to help forecast the weather. They remembered what conditions caused changes and observed the factors associated with weather: atmospheric and cloud conditions, temperature, winds, and reactions of plants and animals. Many people believe that this way of forecasting weather is accurate more often than modern forecasting.Grandmas aching joints might indicate the arrival of a lowpressure system. She might also observe the geese flying lower than usual, confirming the lowpressure system. Finally, she might feel dampness on her skin, a sign of high humidity(湿度). Based on these three observations, grandma might warn that a storm is brewing.Joints and nerves can indicate dropping air pressure. Dissolved gases in the blood form bubbles under low air pressure. This causes pain in joints and nerve endings. Geese and other birds respond to changes in air pressure by adjusting how high they fly. In the fair, calm weather of a highpressure system, the birds fly higher than in the stormy weather associated with a lowpressure system.Nature provides other clues to changing weather. A decrease in air pressure causes deer and elk to come down from the mountains to look for shelter. Some animals feed more than usual. The higher humidity before a storm causes some insects to leave the trees and gather near the ground. Some flowers close so rain doesnt get inside them. In winter, rhododendron plants curl up to protect themselves as the temperature drops.Several of the sayings apply in particular areas of the world. Here are some of them. Early thunder，early spring. Rainbow in the morning gives you fair warning. When teeth and bones and bunions ache, expect the clouds to fill the lake. When high clouds and low clouds do not match together, prepare for a blow and a change in the weather.()59. It is true that _.A. modern forecasting cannot always guarantee accurate weather forecasting for some reasonB. modern forecasting along with other observations is sure to give accurate weather forecastC. using folklore and proverbs to forecast weather is more accurate than modern forecastingD. complex computer models and weather instruments can always forecast weather accurately()60. In a lowpressure system, you may notice the following EXCEPT that _.A. some animals come down from mountainsB. some insects disappear from groundC. some birds will be seen flying near the surface of the earthD. some flowers close so rain doesnt get inside()61. It is a fact that the behaviour of plants and animals is _.A. unlikely to reflect any kind of weather forecastingB. more likely to reflect both shortterm and longterm weather forecastingC. likely to reflect longterm weather forecastingD. likely to reflect shortterm weather forecasting()62. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. Hard as it is, weather forecasting has a scientific base.B. The importance of weather forecasting.C. People can forecast weather with no modern equipment.D. How to use proverbs to forecast weather forecasting.CThe United States has always been a country of many cultures. Before Europeans came to North America, many groups of Native Americans lived here. Different Native American groups had different cultures. The first Europeans in the United States were from England and Holland, but immigrants came from all European countries. Many people also immigrated from Asia and Africa. Sadly, many Africans were brought to the United States as slaves. Many immigrants come from Latin America too. Today, the United States has people from more cultures than ever.In the 19th century, people spoke of the United States as a “melting pot.” People thought that all immigrates should forget their native cultures and languages and become Englishspeaking Americans. They felt that people should assimilatejoin American culture. However, not everyone wanted to assimilate completely. Many people tried to keep parts oftheir cultures, such as foods, customs, and languages. However, their children often forgot their parents or grandparents language. But most Americans, even those whose families have been here a long time, can tell the countries their relatives came from. And of course, new immigrants take great pride in their culture and language.For all of these reasons, melting pot is no longer a good way to describe the United States. Instead, people now call the United States a “salad bowl.” They say salad bowl because in a salad, you can still see all of the individual parts (lettuce, tomato, and so on), but all the different parts mixed together and begin to take on the flavor of one another.()63. Which of the following is the key information the writer wants to tell us in the first paragraph?A. Asians and Africans also immigrated to America.B. USA today is made up of people from across the world.C. There used to be many groups of Native Americans.D. Englishmen were among the first to settle in America.()64. The“melting pot” _.A. cannot accurately reflect the reality in the United StatesB. cannot be replaced by the “salad bowl”C. is an accurate way to describe the United StatesD. is a place where people from different cultures should assimilate completely()65. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Children of early immigrates can speak English as well as their parents native language.B. New immigrants want to live in their own culture and language.C. Many immigrates to the United States try to keep some of their culture.D. Immigrates are encouraged to use English wherever they go in the USA.()66. The “salad bowl” reflects the fact that immigrates to the United States _.A. take great pride in their culture and languageB. remain independentC. help each otherD. assimilate only partiallyDExpecting good things can make you healthier and might even lengthen your life, says researcher Suzanne Segerstrom, PhD, author of Breaking Murphys Law. Segerstrom is coauthor of a recent review of studies on the benefits of a positive attitudeand has experienced them herself. We asked her about optimisms principles and payoffs.1) Feeling well helps when youre not well.“When researchers look at people who have similar medical conditions, they can predict whos likely to live longer: the one who feels his health is better. Theres something about that feeling of wellness thats important, evenmaybe especiallyif youre ill. Optimism also seems to help buffer(缓减) you against stress. Ive been studying firstyear law students for 16 years. Thats a very stressed group, but in my most recent study, each time a students optimism increased one point on a fivepoint scale, his immune(免疫性的) response to an injected virus or yeast improved by 20 percent.”2) Optimism is something you do.“Anxiety and other negative emotions are known to be detrimental to the body, especially to your cardiovascular and immune systems(心血管和免疫系统), and having an optimistic nature seems to protect against those effects.In addition, research shows that people who are optimistic about their future behave differently. They exercise more, are less likely to smoke, and follow a better diet. And if they get sick, theyre more likely to actively participate in their treatment. Ive seen that myselfI have back pain from arthritis, but I think my willingness to do whatever it takes has helped a lot.”3) Not happy? Dont worry.“Happiness is a feeling; optimism is a belief that aspects of your future will turn out well. Happiness can fluctuate(波动) a lot, but an optimistic disposition(性格) is usually pretty stable. If youre not optimistic, you can try creating apositive events log. Good things happen to everyone, but pessimists often dont take notice; spending a few minutes every day writing about at least three positive things may help you expect them more often. Or instead of trying to be optimistic, do what optimists do: Work hard to reach your goals. Each accomplishment should make it easier to be hopeful about the next one.”()67. The main finding of the study done by Suzanne Segerstrom is _.A. people who are optimistic about their future behave differentlyB. happiness usually results in a bright futureC. people will benefit from their positive attitudes towards lifeD. anyone who feels his health is better lives longer()68. What conclusion did Suzanne Segerstrom draw from her studies on her firstyear law students?A. The more optimistic they are, the less likely they will get ill.B. The better they feel, the more rapidly they will recover from illness.C. The better medical care they enjoy, the longer they will live.D. The younger they are, the stronger they will be.()69. We learn from the passage that optimistic people _.A. take an active part in all aspectsB. tend to have a better life styleC. are easy to give up smokingD. are willing to do whatever they are asked()70. What are you advised to do according to the passage?A. Work hard and play hard. B. Make your goals easy to reach.C. Take exercise as much as you can. D. Keep a daily note of positive things.第卷(非选择题共35分)第四部分：任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。注意：每空格1个单词。Canadas wealth comes from the exploitation of its rich natural resources and from the work of its citizens.
