He was being _21_by a newspaper reporter who asked him why he thought he was able to be so much more creative than the average person. What _22_ him so far apart from others? He responded that it all came from a（n） _23_ with his mother that occurred when he was about two years old. He had been trying to _24_ a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he lost his _25_ and it fell, spilling its contents all over the kitchen floor - a sea of milk! When his mother came into the kitchen, _26_ punishing him, she said, Robert, what a great and wonderful _27_ you have made! I have rarely seen such a huge _28_ of milk. Well, the damage has already been done. Would you like to get down and play in the milk for a few minutes _29_ we clean it up? Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, You know, Robert, _30_ you make a mess like this, eventually you have to clean it up and _31_ everything to its proper order. So, _32_ would you like to do that? We could use a sponge （海绵）, a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer? He chose the sponge and together they cleaned up the spilled milk. His mother then said, You know, what we have here is a _33_ experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Lets _34 _ the bottle with water and see if you can _35_ a way to carry it without dropping it. The little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle _36_ near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful _37_! This famous scientist then _38_ that it was at that moment that he knew he didnt need to be afraid to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just opportunities for learning something new, which is, _39_, what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment doesnt work, we usually learn something valuable from it.

According to one psychologists（心理学家）calculations, January 23 was the most depressing day of the year for the British. Cliff Arnall, a psychologist at Cardiff University who worked out the formula（公式）, blamed a combination of debts, failed New Years plans, the cold, grey weather and the length of time since Christmas. For most people, theres a realization by the third week of January that spending on sales items needs to be stopped so that Christmas can be paid for, he said.Those employees who are paid at the end of the month have had a long wait to refill their pockets, he said. Nearing pay day may seem like a positive, but it may also result in increased stress as the person realizes they wont be able to pay off their Christmas bills. The last week in January and first week in February are traditionally the coldest times of the year. The average amount of sunshine for January was only 43 hours - less than an hour and a half a day. The Citizens Advice Bureau（公民咨询局）and Samaritans（慈善机构撒马利坦会）both agreed that this was their busiest time of the year. Don Levene, a CAB spokesman, said: “People are getting their credit card bills and may have spent more than they can afford. Most people were paid a week early before Christmas which makes January particularly long money-wise.” Mike Cobb, of the Samaritans, said: “We get more calls from people feeling depressed or suicidal（自杀的）at this time of year. There is seasonal affective disorder because of the lack of sunlight, and people are returning to the worries that they put behind them at Christmas.”41Why do employees feel depressed when the pay day in January is coming?ABecause January usually doesnt have the pay day as a rule.BBecause theyll have little left after paying off the Christmas debts.CBecause the boss will always keep back the pay.DBecause theyll have to wait another month to get paid.42Which of the following is not the cause for their being depressed?AHaving to pay off the Christmas bills. BFailure in their plans.CA long period of time from next Christmas.DCold, grey weather.43What does the underlined word “money-wise” in the last paragraph mean?AIn term of money. BSpending money wisely. CLiving without money. DIn term of wisdom.44The last paragraph mainly tells us _.Apossible causes of peoples feeling depressedBthe bad effects of Christmas day on peoples lifeCthe unwise plans of the BritishDreasons for bad weather in Britain（B）An Australian man has beaten 75 other contestants from around the world to win a race up the stairs of the worlds tallest building, Taipei 101. Paul Crake, 30, ran up 91 floors containing 2,046 steps in 10 minutes, 29 seconds. Mr. Crake, who has won a similar race up the Empire State Building five times, won US$5,920 in prize money. The womens race was won by Austrian Andrea Mayr, who finished in 12 minutes, 38 seconds and also won a $5,920 prize. Austrian Rudolf Reitheiger, who beat Mr. Crake in this years Empire State Building race, came second in the mens competition. Mr. Crake and Ms Mayr missed out the $30,000 on offer for completing the grueling（精疲力竭的）race in under 10 or 12 minutes respectively. Taipei 101 is 508 metres tall and was finished in 2003, although Chinese developers have said Shanghais World Financial Centre will be taller when completed in 2007. A further 1,001 people took part in a so-called self-challenging race up the skyscraper. The Sears Tower in Chicago, the CN tower in Toronto and the Azrieli tower in Tel Aviv have all held recent events. Runners also race up the longest staircase in the world - the service staircase for the Niesenbahn railway near Spiez, Switzerland, which has 11,674 steps. An event for the long-distance stairway runner also takes place in Radebeul, Germany, where competitors run up 397 stairs 100 times to equal the height of Mt Everest.45Mr. Crake, the winner of “Taipei 101”race, has taken part in Empire State Building race for at least _. Afive times Bsix times C10 times D12 times46If Mr. Crake had finished “Taipei 101” race _earlier, he would have got _ the amount of the prize money.Amore than half a minute; over 5 times Bless than 29 seconds; over 5 timesCmore than thirty seconds; nearly 5 times Dless than 29 seconds; nearly 5 times47Which of the following events has the longest race distance according to the text?ATaipei 101 race. BNiesenbahn railway staircase race. CRadebeul stairway race. DEmpire State building race.48We can infer from the text that _. ATallest building races are very popular in Australia.BTaipei 101 is the most popular place for “Tower-running” races.C“Tower-running” races take place up the tallest buildings and structures across the world.DThe distance of “tallest building” races across the world is usually the same.（C）Sicily, an island of Italy, is home to beautiful beaches, outstanding food, and a bit of Italian history on every corner. Its located just southwest of the Italian mainland and its the largest Mediterranean island. Invaded by many armies over the centuries, it became the site of Roman and Greek colonies. Those cultures remain to this day. As part of the 2006 Year of Italy in China, an exhibition of Sicilian culture is being held at the National Museum of China from August 29 to October 27. Although they have a rich culture and history, Sicilian people lead a simple life. Living on land with fertile soil, most of them work in agriculture, fishing and mining, and of course tourism.In Sicily, most stores and businesses are closed from one to four in the afternoon. Streets become crowded around five as people start to go out and engage in a variety of activities. They may take a walk to the shops, enjoy eating a pastry or just meet up with friends.Food is one of the great pleasures of Sicilian people. There is an old Sicilian saying: With a contented stomach, your heart is forgiving. With an empty stomach you forgive nothing. People will go miles out of their way to eat fresh seafood, such as tuna（金枪鱼）, swordfish（旗鱼）and sardines（沙丁鱼）. Pasta（面团）is the main fooDEach region has its seasonal pasta dishes, and every family cook their own specialty. Bread is common too. As another Sicilian saying goes, A table without bread is like a day without sunshine. In Sicily, bread is always freshly baked or bought, and usually twice a day.49Which of the following can probably be the correct map according to the text?50Which words can probably be used to describe the lifestyle of Sicilian people?ABusy and tiring. BEnjoyable and relaxing. CSimple and boring. DTense and depressed.51From the last paragraph we know _. Athe eating habit of the Sicilian peopleBthe importance of old saying in SicilyCthe starvation of Sicilian people Dthe character of Sicilian people52Which statement is not true according to the text?ASicily was once conquered by the Romans and Greek. BSicilian culture has been part of Chinese culture since 2006.CSicilian people mostly live on farming, fishing, mining as well as tourism.DBread is the most common food for Sicilian people.（D）Mouse potatoes joined couch potatoes（who spend much time watching TV on the couch）, google officially became a verb and drama queens（extremely emotional persons）finally found the attention when they crossed over from popular culture to mainstream English language. The mouse potato, the himbo（attractive, empty-headed man）and drama queen were among 100 new words added to the 2006 update of Americas best-selling dictionary, the Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary韦氏大词典. The Internet search engine Google also found its way into the dictionary for the first time as a verb, meaning to find information quickly on the world wide web.New words and phrases from the fields of science, technology, pop culture and industry are chosen each year by Merriam-Websters team of editors after months of looking through books, magazines and even food labels. They are not tracking spoken language. They are looking for evidence that words have been used in the written English language, said Arthur Bicknell, senior editor of Merriam-Webster. Other words first coming into the dictionary this year were soul patch（a small growth of beard under a mans lower lip）, unibrow （two eyebrows joining together） and supersize - the fast food industry phrase for extra large meals. The technology world contributed ringtones（changeable incoming cellphone call signals） and spyware（software installed in a computer to track a users activities）while biodiesel（生物柴油） and avian influenza（禽流感）came from the world of science. Americas first dictionaryNoah Websters A Compendious Dictionary of the English Languagewas published 200 years ago and also introduced some fresh words that have now become familiar. Those new words in 1806 included slang, surf, psychology, naturally and Americanize.53The mouse potato refers to_.Aa mouse that lives by potatoes Ba person who spends much time on the computerCa mouse that is shown on the screen of the computer Da person who likes to eat mice and potatoes54Which group of words and phrases is not the fresh words for the dictionary of this year?Amouse potatoes, google, drama queen.

In 1848, James W. Marshall found gold in California and people began having golden dreams. That 19th century American Dream motivated（激发起）the Gold Rush and gave California its nickname of the Golden State.The American Dream drove not only 1800s gold-rush prospectors but also waves of immigrants throughout that century and the next. People from Europe, and a large number of Chinese, arrived in the US in the 19th century hoping that in America they would find gold in the streets. But most, instead, worked as railroad labourers. They created the oldest Chinatown, in San Francisco, and gave the city a Chinese name the old gold hill.In the 20th century, some critics said that it was no longer possible to become prosperous through
