During her month-long stay in Jerusalem she often went to a cafe called chocolate soup. It was run by two men, one of whom Alex used to live in Montreal. One morning when Emma went in for coffee, while chatting with her new friend Alex, she mentioned that she had just finished the book she was reading and had nothing else to read. Alex said he had a wonderful book she might like, and that hed be happy to lend it to her. As he lived just above the cafe, he quickly ran up to get it. The book he handed to Emma just minutes later was Markings, a book by a former secretary-general of the United Nations (UN).Emma had never read it, nor had she ever bought a copy, but when she opened it up, she was floored to see her own name and address inside the cover, in her own handwriting. It turned out that the summer before, at a concert back at Montreal, Emma had met a Californian who was in town visiting friends. They decided to exchange addresses, but neither of them had any paper. The man opened up a book he was carrying in his backpack and asked Emma to write her name and address inside. When he returned to California, he left the book behind in Montreal, and his friend Alex kept it. When Alex later moved to Jerusalem, he took the book along.51. Alex lent Emma the book, Markings, .A. to show his friendliness to herB. to show his interest in readingC. to tell her about the importance of the UND. to let her write her name and address inside52. How did Emma feel the moment she opened the book?A. PleasedB. Satisfied.C. Worried.D. Surprised53. We can learn from the text that the Californian .A. met Emma at a concertB. invited Emma to a concertC. introduced Emma to his friendD. left Emma his backpack54. Who was supposed to be the first owner of the book?A. An official of the UNB. A coffee shop ownerC. A friend of the authorsD. Alexs friend from CaliforniaBHave you ever dreamed of having a fashionable watch of great value?A small watchmaker in Switzerland in 1922 designed the first automatic（自动的）watch to show the day, month, and date, Only seven of these splendid watches were ever made and these watches were almost lost to history. Today, it is so hard to get an original（首批的）watch that some watch historians are even willing to offer $ 200,000 for one.These watches attracted a lot of people for their splendid color, fashionable style, and new uses in the 1920s. The owners of the watches were admired and set apart from the crowd. Because the number of the original watches is very limited, owning such a watch will make you feel very special.Today, you are offered the same kind of watch with improvement. It has a 24-jewel mechanical（机械的）movement, the kind desired by watch collectors. The watchmaker has made the movement of the watch much more modern with an automatic rotor（上弦装置）so that the watch never needs to be wound by hand. The watch comes in a very beautiful case with a crocodile design on it. To get a watch in such a perfect design to know history and to wear such a watch will show your personal taste and social position.You can get the watch either in person or by mail at an affordable price. You will also receive good service from the watch seller. If you are not satisfied with the watch after you get it, you may simply return it within 30 days. Dont miss the chance to realize your dream.55. The original automatic watches are valuable because _.A. the watches were made many years agoB. the watches were made by a Swiss watchmakerC. only rich people can afford the watchesD. only a few watches of the kind were made56. Watch collectors want to get the improved watch, especially for its_.A. mechanical movement B. splendid colorC. fashionable style D. new uses57. The purpose of the passage is to encourage the readers to_.A. buy the watch B. return the watchC. wear the watch D. receive the service58. The passage is probably taken from a _.A. report B. magazineC. text book D. science bookC Many of us assume that the child of one of the richest men on earth must enjoy endless entitlement(特权). But 52-year-old Peter Buffet, a son of billionaire businessman Warren, doesnt think so. “People who are born with a silver spoon in their mouth can fall victim to what my father has called a silver dagger(匕首) in your back,” Buffet told Reuters in an interview. “It leads to a sense of entitlement and a lack of personal achievement.” Entitlement, he believes, is the worst thing ever. “Anybody who acts like they deserve something “just because ” is a disaster,” he said. In his new book, Life Is What You Make It: Finding Your Own Path to Fulfillment(成就感), Buffet says that the only real wealth handed down from his parents was a value: Open your own path in life. It is a belief that has allowed him to follow his own passions, build his own identity, and achieve his own successes. Did his father ever want him to go into finance? “It was encouraged for a moment when I was open to the idea,” he told Reuters. But as he grew older, it became clear the financial world “was not speaking to my heart.” His father accepted his choice to become a musician. He began his musical career by writing music for TV advertisements. He then released his own albums. “I am my own person and I know what I have achieved in my life,” he told Reuters. “This isnt about wealth or fame or money or any of that stuff, it is actually about values and what you enjoy and finding something you love doing.” Along with the book, Buffet has begun a “Concert & Conversation” tour in which he plays the piano, talks about his life and warns against consumerist culture and damaging the environment. “Economic prosperity(繁荣) may come and go; thats just how it is,” he writes in the book. “But values are the steady currency(货币) that earn us the all-important reward.”59. “It” in the second paragraph refers to _.A. a life of a top businessmanB. a silver spoon in the mouthC. being born in a wealthy familyD. the victim of a silver dagger in the back60. Peter Buffet did the following things EXCEPT _.A. write the booksB. release the albumsC. make TV advertisementsD. begin “concert & conversation” tour61. The underlined sentence “values are the steady currency that earn us the all-important rewards” means that _.A. money can bring all the rewards to usB. life is actually about values and what you enjoy C. economic prosperity is the steady and important rewardD. value and currency earn us everything important in return62. Peter Buffett would probably agree that _.A. wealth is there to enjoy to the fullestB. success and fame are what life is aboutC. many people are fooled by economic prosperityD. young people should find their own path to personal achievementD In the early 1950s, researchers found that people scored lower on intelligence tests if they spoke more than one language. Research in the1960s found the opposite. Bilingual(双语的) people scored higher than monolinguals-people who speak only one language. So which is it?Researchers presented their newest studies last month at a meeting of the American Organization for the Advancement of Science. The latest evidence shows that being bilingual does not necessarily make people cleverer. But researcher Ellen Bialystock says it probably does make you better at certain skills.Ellen Bialystock said, Imagine driving down the highway. Therere many things that could attract your attention and you really need to be able to watch all of them. Why would bilingualism make you any better at that?And the answer, she says, is that bilingual people are often better at controlling their attention - a function called the executive control system. Its quite possibly the most important system we have because its where all of your decisions about what to attend to, what to ignore, what to process are made.Ms. Bialystock is a professor at York University in Toronto, Canada. She says the best method to measure the executive control system is called the Stroop Test. A person is shown words in different colors. The person has to ignore the word but say the color. The problem is that the words are all names of colors.Ellen Bialystock said, So you would have the word blue written in red, but you have to say red. But blue is so eye-catching, its just lighting up all these words in your brain, and you really want to say blue. So you need a mechanism(机制) to override that so that you can say red. Thats the executive control system.Her work shows that bilingual people continually practice this function. They have to, because both languages are active in their brain at the same time. They need to ignore one to be able to speak in the other.This exercise might help in other ways, too. Researchers say bilingual children are better able to separate a word from its meaning, and more likely to have friends from different cultures. Bilingual adults are often four to five years later than others in developing Alzheimers disease.63. The best title of this passage would be _.A. What is Stroop
