interstate. but in the mid-1950s, it was just a gravel country road, the perfect place for our daddies to teach us how to drive.we didnt have drivers education at shawnee high school. we were on our own. mom took me to pick up an instruction manual（手册）. i was the oldest of my friends, so we were excited at the prospect of a whole new world opening up. wed have freedom to get around.mom let me back our 1949 ford out of the garage a few times to get used to the clutch（离合器踏板）and gearshift（变速排挡）. i got familiar with the motion but was hardly ready for my road test.finally, the day came for daddy to give me a real lesson. he drove out to the end of the paved section of kickapoo street and across to where the gravel started. my daddy had come from a family of 10, and they had been farmers in oklahoma during the dust bowl（干旱尘暴区）. there was only one way to do things, and that was the right way.compliments were rare, so when he muttered his approval it was special. i didnt want to experience his glare if i ground the clutch.i took a deep breath, slowly let out the clutch, pushed the stick into second gear, eased down the road, and then carefully moved into third gear. he had me stop and repeat the procedure two or three more times until i came to the end of the section. i was feeling pretty good as i came to a stop and looked to daddy for approval.he glared at me and then barked, youve been driving, havent you?he must have thought id been practicing in somebody elses car. i quickly explained that my training was all on the up and up（诚实的）.that was 60 years ago. i can still see the nod he gave me when he said, well, you did good. 1how did the writer learn to drive?a. he learned it in high school. b. he learned it from his friends.c. he learned it by himself.d. his father taught him regularly.2. which of the following best describes daddys attitude to the writer?a. patient. b. strict. c. tolerant.d.negative.3. what can be inferred about the writers road test?a. it made him embarrassed.b. it made daddy disappointed.c. it was a great failure.d. it went beyond daddys expectation.bthe death of henry vincent, a career criminal who died in a fight with a south-east london pensioner（退休老人） whose house he was trying to burgle, has unleashed violent public passions and arguments. legally, the matter may be a simple one. ever since the case of tony martin, the norfolk farmer who shot in the back and killed a young thief in his isolated farmhouse in 1999, and served three years in prison for manslaughter（过失杀人罪） after an outcry against his initial conviction for murder, the law has been successively rebalanced in the interests of homeowners and against intruders.householders are now entitled to fight back and even to deploy disproportionate force in self-defence if they are attacked in their own homes. richard osborn-brooks, the 78-year-old pensioner involved in the fight, has been met by a wave of public sympathy, while the dead man, his family and associates, have all been the subjects of scorn and abuse from the papers. any gang which preys on old people, as they did, deserves public obloquy (辱骂) as well as prison sentences. its difficult to imagine a crime that spreads more fear and distrust than stealing from pensioners. the instincts of the public in this case are entirely on the side of justice. but they are not the same thing as justice.the rush of public sympathy and understanding for mr. osborn-brooks is not at all hard to appreciate. but the rush of vicarious rage which has also greeted the story is a reminder of what the law and the criminal justice system stand for. its measured deliberations ensure a balanced approach and protect us from our own most violent instincts. vincent may well have deserved another long prison sentence, an exceptionally grim punishment in the present state of prisons. his death was, in a sense, a foreseeable consequence of his wicked and profoundly antisocial behaviour. nonetheless, he did not deserve to die, as his family has pointed out, and had he stood trial for breaking into an old couples house he would not have been sentenced to death.this case should remind us that it is the law and its enforcement which exist to keep old and vulnerable people safe, not unofficial or vigilante violence.4. why does the writer mention the case of tony martin ?a. it is exactly the same as the case of henry vincent.b. its the turning point of emphasizing legal rights of homeowners.c. it has set an example for richard osborn-brooks.d. it is unfair to sentence the farmer to three years in prison.5. it can be inferred from paragraph 2 that householders.a. can act against law when fighting against thievesb. go too far when defending themselvesc. stand for justice in such cases.d. have good reasons to kill the intruders.6. what does the writer think of the publics reaction to the case of vincent?a. understandable but irrational.b. unbelievable but reasonable.c. natural but unforeseeable.d. satisfactory but unofficial.7. what message does the writer want to convey in the passage?a. criminals should be severely punished.b. london is not a safe city.c. justice calls for the law rather than violence.d. those who hurt old people deserve to be sentenced to death.cwhen a purring cat rubs against you, you cant help but feel pleased with yourself for being so lovable. but dont move on f rom petting that kitty to patting yourself on the back just yet. happiness isnt the only thing that makes cats purr.sure, you might hear purrs when your pet feels relaxed or friendly, but cats also purr when theyre hungry, stressed, or in pain. all behavior depends on history, context and expectation, tony buffington, a cat expert, told wired. so its naive to think that cats can only purr for one reasonits like thinking that people can only laugh for one reason. cats purrs are open to interpretation.mother cats purr to lead their kittenswhich are blind and deaf when theyre bornto them for food and warmth. in turn, vets believe, kittens purr to show theyre okay and help them bond with mama cat. purrs release feel-good endorphins（脑内啡）, so experts think cats use the vibrations（颤动） to soothe themselves. that could mean purring while enjoying some cozy cuddles from their owner, or it might help calm their nervesor literally heal their pain. studies have found that whole-body vibrations of 35 to 50 hz could help stimulate bone healing. cats purr frequencies range from 25 to 150 hz, and some suggest the vibrations could help kitties keep their bones strong.as for purr frequencies go even higher than150 hz, those serve an entirely different purpose. one study found that when cats were trying to get their owners to feed them, their purr frequency shot up to 220 to 520 hzawfully close to the 300 to 600 hz of a human infants cry. researchers suggest the higher frequency makes the sound harder for cat (and baby) parents to ignore.8. what can you infer from the underlined sentence (first paragraph)?a. you should wash your hands after you touch the cat.b. youd better pat the cat until it is satisfied.c. you are probably not as lovable as you think.d. you should pat the cat on the back.9. what does the underlined word them refer to?a. mother cats.b. kittens.c. food and warmth.d. cats purrs. 10. what is the text mainly about?a. it is proved that cats purrs release feel-good endorphins.b. cats behavior research still has a long way to go.c. cats purr in the highest frequency to ask for food.d. cats purr to convey different messages.第二节

stomach starts to grumble（隆隆响） as soon as mcdonalds golden arches come into view. the reason behind that isnt the mouthwatering taste of their delicious friesthis is how they get them to taste so good by the wayits actually psychological, and it has to do with the colors of their logo.the colors red and yellow were chosen for a specific reasonand no, it wasnt because they looked nice with ronald mcdonalds clown-like face. it actually has to do with science. the color red is stimulating and is associated with being active. it also increases heart rate, which helps to jumpstart your appetite. the color yellow is associated with happiness and is the most visible color in daylight, so thats why a mcdonalds sign is so easy to spot on a crowded road.the brain processes color before it processes words or shapes, so thats why the fast-food chain chose these two colors for their logo and brand. red and yellow makes you hungry, encouraging you to want to buy the product they sell, while also making you feel happy.mcdonalds has started to use this color philosophy to influence and change the way people currently think about their brand as well. many franchises（授权经销商） in europe have started to incorporate moreof the color green into their storefronts and interior design because its associated with nature
