But its not always the 36 of the wait that we find so unbearable. Some people camp outside Apple stores for an entire night just to get the 37 product. But waiting 10 minutes in a grocery store just to buy a drink? Forget it. Actually, our behavior when waiting is 38 decided by the length of wait; the psychology of queuing is more important.One obvious aspect of queuing psychology is that we get 39 when we wait in line. This issue is 40 in many ways, from magazines in hospital waiting rooms, to mirrors in elevators so that we can 41 our appearance, which help overcome boredom.We really hate it when we 42 a short wait but get a long one. But studies show that we are more 43 when we are given an idea of how long well wait. Walt Disney Co. shows overestimated (高估的）waiting times for 44 in its theme parks, and visitors often get to the front more 45 which makes them happy.But perhaps the biggest 46 waiting has on our feelings is related to our understanding of fairness. Since the universally accepted 47 is “first come, first served”，any deviation (偏离）from this principle is regarded as 48 . 49 the snake-line was invented. It 50 all customers into one big snaking queue limited by ropes or barriers. When you reach the 51 of the queue, you are directed to the next available server. The snake-line isnt always faster, but it offers 52 : you never have to see someone arrive after you and get 53 before you.In life, waiting is 54 . But a better understanding of the psychology of queuing can help make it a bit more bearable. When all else fails, bring a book or a smart phone will also 55 .36.

C.Sorry to say, our brains naturally start slowing down at the cruelty young age of 30. It used to be thought that this couldnt be helped, but new studies show that people of any age can train their brains to work faster. “Your brain is a learning machine,” says University of California scientist Dr. Michael Merzenich. Given the right tools, we can train our brains to act like they did when we were younger. All thats required is the practice designed just for the purpose: a few exercises for the mind.Merzenich has developed a computer-based training method to speed up the process in which the brain deals with information (). Since much of the data we receive comes through speech, the Brain Fitness Program works with language and hearing to better speed and accuracy.Over the course of training, the program starts asking you to distinguish sounds (between “dog” and “bog”, for example) at an increasingly faster speed. Its a bit like tennis instructor, says Merzenich, hitting balls at you faster and faster to keep you challenged. You may start out slow, but before long youre pretty quick.The biggest finding in brain research in the last ten years is that the brain at any age is highly plastic. If you ask your brain to learn, it will learn. And it may even speed up while in the process.To keep your brain young and plastic you can do one of a million new activities that challenge and excite you: playing table tennis or bridge, doing crossword puzzles, learning a language. “When it comes to preventing ageing, you really do use it or lose it,” says Barbara Sahakian, professor at Cambridge University.64. Dr. Merzenichs training method mainly depends on _. A. speech training B. computer languagesC. the activities one joins in D. the information being dealt with65. By saying “the brain at any age is highly plastic”, the writer probably means the brain can be_. A. used B. mastered C. developed D. researched66. Which of the following agrees with the writers idea?A. The training methods work better for the old.B. People should use the brain to stop it from ageing.C. The training of the brain should start at an early age.D. Its necessary to take part in as many activities as possible.D.People think what I do is so wonderful because I interview stars. And I have to admit that when I first started working at Sassy in 1987 I was excited about that part of my job for the first couple of months, anyway. Then I noticed how stars would fool me around for months. I could never get enough time with a star to find out anything interesting, and some acted just simply rudely. I started hating the way I was treated, and I was really disappointed to see that these people I had worshipped (崇拜）before were pretty ordinary. So I decided I would just tell the truth instead of keeping up their myths (神秘）.If the star was a bad guy, I would say so. If I thought anyone was stupid, I did not hold back that information.I thought readers would appreciate that kind of honesty. Surprisingly, many of them hated me for it. I have gotten so many attacks on my character. In their eyes, being famous is everything, even more desirable than being truly creative and talentedWhy do we need stars? In fact, the media created stars to satisfy our basic need for gossip (闲话）.Over time, talking about people we have never met and we are never likely to meet has become what we are crazy about. Thus, some people are more interested in the personal lives of the stars than in the lives of their own family and their own friends. That is why it is so ridiculous when a star wants to discuss only his or her work in an interview as we care. We want the dirt on their personal lives.There is another reason we worship stars. As a whole, our society is not as religious as it once was. It seems that people need something to fulfill them the way religion once did. Star worship exists as an unfulfilling desire for true heroes.We make them stars, but then their reputation makes us feel unimportant, and we truly feel better about ourselves when they die. I am part of this whole process. No wonder I feel soiled at the end of workday.67. What are the stars like according to the author?A. They always treat others rudely.B. They always talk about something dull.C They are actually ordinary people.D. They are usually honest and polite.68. We worship stars because _.A. we need true mental heroes to support usB. we can learn something useful from famous starsC. we concern about the stars family and friendsD. we like talking about the stars dressing styles69. When the author is writing this article, his tone sounds _.A. excited B. angry C. worried D. calm70.What is the main purpose of the author writing the passage?A. To show the disadvantages of working with stars.B. To remind us not to worship famous stars blindly.C. To laugh at the failures of stars he has interviewed.D. To talk about the reasons why we worship stars.参考答案第二部分 英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节 单选填空(共l5小题；每小题l分，满分l5分)21. C. 考查冠词。因为“gift”后有定语从句修饰， 所以第一个空应填定冠词the；“with delight”是固定词组，delight前面不用任何冠词。22. A. 考查介词。题目大意：如果你设立的目标超出了你的能力，你就不能指望取得巨大的成就。由此可知正确答案应为A项。此处介词“above”表示“（程度）超过；超出；为所不及”。23. C. 考查定语从句。分析题目语境和结构可以看出，“a job”是先行词，且在后面的定语从句中作定地点状语（抽象地点），因此定语从句应用where引导。24. A. 考查替代词用法。因为空格后面有定语“over there”，所以空格处应用“the one”表示“the suitcase”。it 指上文中刚刚提到的人或物，且其后面不能接定语成份；“one”表示泛指意义，表示同类中的任何一个；25. B. 考查动词的时态。结合题目中的“now”可知，前面表达的是过去的情况，并且与现在没有关系，所以谓语动词应用一般过去时。全句大意：Stefan患心脏病十年多， 但是现在她很健康精力旺盛。26. A. 考查情景交际。对于对方的道歉，常用“Thats all right.”, Thats nothing. Thats OK. It doesnt matter. Forget it. 等回答。27. C. 考查状语从句。“It wont be long before”是固定句型，意为“不会过多久就”。全句大意：约翰认为不会过多久他就会习惯于他的新工作。28. A. 考查形容词和副词。根据回答语中的“than”可以排除B项和D项；另外，so通常不能用来修饰比较级；所以正确答案应为A项。副词“far”可以用来修饰比较级，意为“得多”。29. C. 考查情态动词。结合语境，回答语表达的是“告诉他，如果他再这样下去，他将会为此承担责任”。最佳答案应为C项。此处“shall”表示“警告或威胁”。30. C. 考查短语动词。句意：因为交通堵塞，琼未能及时赶到办公室。“be held up”意为“受阻，耽搁”，符合语境。A项意为“使不靠近”；B项意为“捐赠；泄露（秘密）；颁发（奖品）”；D项意为“停止”。31. C. 考查独立主格结构。分析题目结构可以看出，“their lessons _ for the day”部分不能是句子，因为前后都没有连接词。所以空格处应填入过去分词，表示被动和完成意义。“their lessons finished for the day”构成的是独立柱个结构，在句中作状语。32. D. 考查动词的时态。结合题目语境，回答语表达的应是“那个时候（明天下午4点钟）我正在听演讲”。因此，空格处应选择D项，即“将来进行时”， 表示“在将来的某个时刻正在进行的动作”。33. C. 考查倒装结构。含有否定意义的副词“little”位于句首，所以要用部分倒装语序。所以C项正确；回答语句意：我也很震惊。当地政府很少关心贫困儿童的安全问题。34. D. 考查虚拟语气。句意：昨天我一路跑到学校，不然年度才艺表演我就会迟到。本句的后半句是虚拟语气，是对过去情况的虚拟，所以应用“would have been”。35. D. 考查强调句型。分析题目结构可以
