each other The goal of their game was to write the word shmily in a surprise place for the other to find They took turns leaving shmily around the house and as soon as one of them discovered it it was their turn to hide it once more They dragged shmily with their fingers through the sugar and flour containers to await whoever was preparing the next meal Shmily was written in the steam left on the mirror after a hot shower where it would reappear bath after bath There was no end to the places where shmily would pop up Little notes with shmily were found on car seats or taped to steering wheels The notes were put inside shoes and left under pillows Shmily was written in the dust upon the mantel 壁炉架 and traced in the ashes of the fireplace This mysterious word was as much a part of my grandparents house as the furniture It took me a long time before I was able to fully appreciate my grandparents game Skepticism has kept me from believing in true love one that is pure and enduring 持久的 However I never doubted my grandparents relationship It was based on passionate 热情的 affection which not everyone is lucky enough to experience But there was a dark cloud in my grandparents life my grandmother had breast cancer The disease had first appeared ten years earlier As always Grandpa was with her every step of the way He comforted her in their yellow room painted that way so that she could always be surrounded by sunshine even when she was too sick to go outside But my grandmother grew steadily weaker until finally she could not leave the house anymore Then one day what we all dreaded finally happened Grandma was gone Shmily It was written in yellow on the pink ribbons of my grandmother s funeral bouquet 花束 As the crowd thinned and the last mourners turned to leave Grandpa stepped up to my grandmother s coffin and taking a shaky breath he began to sing to her Through his tears and grief the song came S h m i l y See How Much I Love You 51 According to the passage where may the word shmily be found a in the flour containers b on the mirror c on the sheet of toilet paper d on pillows e on the furniture A a b B b c C a d D b e 52 The first paragraph is mainly about A what the word shmily means B how the author s grandparents played their special game C how the author appreciated her grandparents game D how the author s grandparents cared for each other 53 The underlined phrase pop up in Paragraph 1 means A appear B change C survive D work 54 According to the passage the author A thought the game was meaningless B believes everyone can experience true love C doubted the existence of true love at first D sometimes left shmily around the house 55 Grandpa tried to make Grandma comfortable by A singing songs to her every day B painting the room yellow C encouraging her to go outside D helping her take a hot shower every day B Why does most of the world travel on the right side today Theories differ but there s no doubt Napoleon was a major influence The French have used the right since at least the late 18th century Some say that before the French Revolution noblemen drove their carriages on the left forcing the peasants to the right Regardless of the origin Napoleon brought right hand traffic to the nations he conquered including Russia Switzerland and Germany Hitler in turn ordered right hand traffic in Czechoslovakia and Austria in the 1930s Nations that escaped right hand control like Great Britain followed their left hand tradition The U S has not always been a nation of right hand drivers earlier in its history carriage and horse traffic travelled on the left as it did in England But by the late 1700s people driving large wagons pulled by several pairs of horses began promoting a shift 改变 to the right A driver would sit on the rear 后面的 left horse in order to wave his whip 鞭子 with his right hand to see opposite traffic clearly they travelled on the right One of the final moves to firmly standardize traffic directions in the U S occurred in the 20th century when Henry Ford decided to mass produce his cars with controls on the left one reason stated in 1908 the convenience for passengers exiting directly onto the edge especially if there is a lady to be considered Once these rules were set many countries eventually adjusted to the right hand standard including Canada in the 1920s Sweden in 1967 and Burma in 1970 The U K and former colonies such as Australia and India are among the Western world s few remaining holdouts 坚持不变者 Several Asian nations including Japan use the left as well though many places use both right hand drive and left hand drive cars 56 Why did people in Switzerland travel on the right A They had used the right hand traffic since the 18th century B Rich people enjoyed driving their carriages on the right C Napoleon introduced the right hand traffic to this country D Hitler ordered them to go against their left hand tradition 57 Of all the countries below the one that travels on the right is A Austria B England C Japan D Australia 58 Henry Ford produced cars with controls on the left A in order to change traffic directions in the U S B so that passengers could get off conveniently C because rules at that time weren t perfect D though many countries were strongly against that 59 According to the passage which of the following is TRUE A Before the French Revolution all the French people used the right B People in Britain and the U S travel on the same side nowadays C The Burmese began to travel on the right in 1970 D All the Asian nations use the left at present 60 What would be the best title for this passage A Who made the great contribution to the shift of traffic directions B How cars have become a popular means of transportation C How Henry Ford produced his cars with controls on the left D Why don t people all drive on the same side of road C I d always dreamed of exploring Africa ever since I read my first Tarzan 人猿泰山 comic as a child Finally in 2004 to celebrate my 60th birthday I went to Tanzania to experience a safari 东非游猎 and climb Mount Kilimanjaro the highest mountain in Africa Seated next to me on the flight was Tanzania s minister of water and wildlife development We talked for thousands of miles and he arranged me to visit a school When I toured the school I was shocked The leaky 漏的 roofs turned the dirt floors into mud during the rainy season and the walls couldn t keep out the heat cold or bugs 小昆虫 The school was in need of all material goods but the kids possessed great human spirit It broke my heart that these children had to struggle to survive so I asked the headmaster what it would cost to feed them As little as 20 cents per child per day he told me Immediately I got home I founded Kids of Kilimanjaro Since then we ve grown to provide hot lunches for nearly 13 000 schoolchildren every day The free lunch program has eased a major problem the youngsters face I know a good education could really make a difference in these children s lives My parents always stressed the importance of education I paid my own way through college in Tokyo by teaching English to students and businesspeople After attending university I moved to San Francisco when I was 25 years old In 1978 I realized my American dream when I founded my own company My success all started with a good education It s amazing that something as simple as a nutritious lunch can change and enrich so many lives Giving young people a better healthier life can inspire them to go all the way through college and lead a movement that transforms their country 61 Why did the author go to Tanzania to celebrate his 60th birthday A He was curious about what Africa was like B He was concerned about the Africans miserable life C He wanted to get an idea of the area s wildlife D He hoped to lead a movement that would transform his country 62 After his tour to the school the author found that the kids there were A in need of help

knowledge among the African kids C To build new schools for the African kids D To protect the African kids from hunger 64 What is the correct sequence of the following events a I founded my first company b I founded Kids of Kilimanjaro c I read my first Tarzan comic d I moved to San Francisco A a c d b B a d c b C c a d b D c d a b 65 The author believes education is important because A his parents always stressed the importance of education B a good education contributes to his success C he paid his own way through college by teaching English D he s trying to realize his American dream D Your peers are people your age or close to it who have experiences and interests similar to yours You and your friends make dozens of decisions every day and you influence each other s choices and behavior This is often it s human nature to listen to and learn from other people in your age group Sometimes though the stresses in your life can actually come from your peers They may pressure you into doing something you re uncomfortable with such as shoplifting doing drugs or drinking or taking dangerous risks when driving a car The pressure to conform 随潮流 can be powerful and hard to resist A person might feel pressure to do something just because others are doing it Peer pressure can influence a person to do something that is relatively harmless or something that has more serious consequences People may feel pressure to conform so they fit in or are accepted or so they don t feel awkward or uncomfortable When people are unsure of what to do in a social situation they naturally look to others for cues 暗示 about what is and isn t acceptable The people who are most easily influenced will follow someone else s lead first Then others may go along too so it can be easy to think It must be OK Everyone else is doing it They must know what they re doing Before you know it many people are going along with the crowd perhaps on something they might not otherwise do Responding to peer pressure is part of human nature but some people are more likely to give in and others are better able to resist and stand their ground It s not always easy to resist negative peer pressure But when you do it is easy to feel good about it afterwards And you may even be a positive influence on your peers who feel the same way often it just takes one person to speak out or take a different action to change a situation 66 Which of the following is a kind of peer pressure A Your teachers give you a lot of homework B Your parents expect high scores from you C Your classmates persuade you to cut class D Your relatives invite you to attend a party 67 Which is most likely to be filled in the blank in Paragraph 1 A negative B impossible C positive D uncertain 68 Most people tend to do what others are doing in order to A feel a sense of achievement B get a feeling of being accepted C set a good example for others D stand out in a crowd 69 What can we know according to the author A Giving in to peer pressure is unavoidable B Peer pressure usually leads to serious results C Going along with the crowd usually means making a right choice D Everyone can make a difference by resisting negative peer pressure 70 This passage is mainly about A thoughts on peer pressure B different types of peer pressure C ways to deal with peer pre
