did you get to know Mr Galbreath Who The man you were sitting with He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs 6 I could hardly believe it I was buying offering a free breakfast and feeling pity for one of the world s richest and most powerful men My few minutes with Mr Galbreath changed my life Now I try to treat everyone with respect no matter who I think they are and no matter another human being with kindness and sincerity 56 What does the underlined word disheveled mean A Unfriendly B Kind C Elegant D Untidy 57 The author bought coffee for the old man because A he wanted to start a conversationB he thought the old man was poor C he intended to show his politenessD he would like to thank the old man 58 How did the author probably feel after he talked with his friend A Surprised

memories Q Q Does your childhood mean a lot to you Q Q What changes would you like to make in your life A A If I could change something in my life I d change it so that my childhood could have taken place in another area I would have loved to live with my family in freedom Who cares whether we have much money or whether we have a beautiful house It doesn t matter as long as I can live with my

My only contact with my parents now is through the phone but I hate using it It filters 过滤 out your emotion and leaves your voice only My deepest feelings should be passed through sight hearing and touch 60 In Misbah s childhood A he was fond of getting close to natureB he liked living in the countryside C he was free from worryD he often spent holidays with his family 61 What did Misbah desire

calling them sometimes C By writing them letters D By paying weekly visits 63 If there were only one question left what would it most probably be A What was your childhood dream B What is your parents view of you C What is your biggest achievement D What was your hardest experience in the war C C It is hardly surprising that clothing manufacturers 生产商 follow certain uniform standards for various features 特征 of clothes What seems strange however is that the standard adopted for women is the opposite of the one for men Take a look at the way your clothes button Men s clothes tend to button from the right and women s from the left Considering most of the world s population men and women are right handed the men s standard would appear to make more sense for women So why do women s clothes button from the left History really seems to matter here Buttons first appeared only on the clothes of the rich in the 17th century when rich women were dressed by servants For the mostly right handed servants having women s shirts button from the left would be easier On the other hand having men s shirts button form the right made sense too Most men dressed themselves and a sword drawn from the left with the right hand would be less likely to get caught in the shirt Today women are seldom dressed by servants but buttoning from the left is still the standard for them Is it interesting Actually a standard once set resists change At a time when all women s shirts buttoned from the left it would have been risky for any single manufacturer to offer women s shirts that 8 buttoned from the right After all women had grown so used to shirts which buttoned from the left and would have to develop new habits and skills to switch Besides some women might have found it socially awkward to appear in public wearing shirts that buttoned from the right since anyone who noticed that would believe they were wearing men s shirts 64 What is surprising about the standard of the clothing industry A It has been followed by the industry for over 400 years B It fails to consider right handed people C It woks better with men than with women D It is different for men s clothing and women s 65 What do we know about the rich men in the 17th century A They tended to wear clothes without buttons B They drew their swords from the left C They were mostly dressed by servants D They were interested in the historical matters 66 Women s clothes still button from the left today because A adopting men s style is improper for women B manufacturers should follow standards C customs are hard to change D modern women dress themselves 67 The passage is mainly developed by A examining differences B making comparisons C analyzing causes D following the time order D D Sitting on the peaceful coast of Galapagos Islands Ecuador watching the sun move quietly into the sea you shouldn t forget that Charles Darwin 1809 1882 arrived here in 1835 He stayed on the islands for five weeks observing various animals This finally inspired 启发 his famous work On the Origin of Species You can certainly follow Darwin s footsteps and enjoy a trip from four to seven days to the islands The most well known animals of the Galapagos is the giant tortoise 巨型海龟 which can be seen moving slowly around the highlands of Santa Cruz the second largest island in the archipelago 群岛 Some of these creatures are so old that they might have been seen in their youth by Darwin himself Despite strict control over activities and timing your stay on the Galapagos will be remembered as a chain of incomparable pictures diving with 9 sea lions that swim and play within inches of you feeling small sharks touch your feet as you swim and most magically seeing a whale and her baby surface with a great breath of air Travelling between the islands and observing the wildlife that so inspired Darwin you will feel as though you are getting a special view of an untouched world At night you will sleep on board the ship leaving the wildlife in complete occupation of the islands which are as undisturbed now as they have been since the beginning of time 68 What do we know about Darwin s visit to the islands A He was attracted by well known animals of the islands B He completed his famous book on the islands C He was touched by the geography of the islands D He studied different creatures on the islands 69 Which of the following plays a role in making the islands a paradise for wildlife A People cannot visit the islands as they wish B Local government forbids killing wildlife C Animals on the islands feed on grass D Tourists are not allowed to touch the animals 70 Your stay on the islands will be most impressive mainly because of A a closer view of animals B Darwin s inspiring trip C The beautiful sea views D various daring activities 71 Which of the following would be the best title for the passage A Calapagos as a Paradise for Adventures B A Unique Attraction for wildlife Lovers C Charles Darwin as a symbol of Galapagos D A successful Example of wildlife protection E E Humans are naturally drawn to other life forms and the worlds outside of our own We take delight in the existence of creatures and even whole societies beyond our everyday lives This sense of wonder is universal Look at the efforts that scientists have made to find out whether life of some kind exists on Mars and the popularity of fantasy 幻想 literature or movies like The Lord of the Rings This sense of wonder draws us to each other to the world around us and to the world of make believe 虚假 But have we gone so far in creating worlds of fantasy that we are missing the pleasure of other worlds that already exist all around us Human beings as biologists have suggested possess an inborn desire to connect with and understand other life forms However people especially in big cities often lead rather isolated 隔离的 lives In a study of British 10 schoolchildren it was found that children by age eight were much more familiar with characters from television shows and video games than with common wildlife Without modern technology a small pond could be an amazing world filled with strange and beautiful plants insects birds and animals When we lack meaningful interaction 交互 with the world around us and sometimes even with our families and friends we seek to understand and communicate with things that exist only in our imaginations or on a computer screen The world of make believe is not necessarily bad But when the world of fantasy becomes the only outlet 出路 for our sense of wonder then we are really missing something We are missing a connection with the living world Other wonderful worlds exist all around us But even more interesting is that if we look closely enough we can see that these worlds in a broad sense are really part of our own 72 The popularity of The Lord of the Rings proves A the close connection between man and the fantasy world B the wonderful achievements of fantasy literature C the general existence of the sense of curiosity D the fine taste of moviegoers around the world 73 What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 A The world around us could serve as a source of wonder B People are far less familiar with the world of fantasy C The world of fantasy can be mirrored by a small and lively pond D Modern technology prevents us from developing our sense of wonder 74 If our sense of wonder relies totally on the world of make believe we will A be confused by the world
