从每题所给的四个选项 A B C 和 D 中 选出最佳选项 并在答题卡上 将该项涂黑 A Take your time Mr Ballou encouraged Read borrow and keep Find something you like What do you read Pick for me then I said He looked up and down at me as though measuring me for a suit After a moment he nodded and handed me a dark red book fairly thick The Last of the Just I read By Andre Schwarz Bart What s it about You tell me he said Next week I started after supper sitting outdoors on an uncomfortable kitchen chair Within a few pages the yard the summer disappeared Translated from French the language was beautiful simple impossible to resist When the evening light finally failed I moved inside read all through the night To this day thirty years later I clearly remember the experience It was my first meeting with world literature and I was amazed by the strong power a novel contain I lacked the vocabulary however to translate my feelings into words so the next week when Mr Ballou asked Well I only replied It was good Keep it then he said Shall I suggest another I nodded and was presented with Margaret Mead s Coming of Age in Samoa To make the story short Mr Ballou never paid me a cent for helping cut his grass that year or the next but for fifteen years I taught anthroplogy 人 类学 at Dartmouth College That summer when I started to read became a turning point in my life which change the course of all that followed 56 What was the writer s attitude towards reading before he met Mr Ballou A He enjoyed reading magazinesB He could hardly read C He found no time to readD He was not an enthusiastic reader 57 After I start reading The Last of the Just A I was absorbed in my readingB the evening light failed C I found it impossible to translate the bookD I was eager to read another book 58 Mr Ballou offered me books probably because he A found that I had no money to buy books B intended to sell some books to me C wanted to five me something in return for my help D wanted me to translate some books for him 59 The purpose of the writer is to 6 A inform us of the importance of readingB share with us his experience of reading C persuade more people to read in summerD express his sincere thanks to Mr Ballou B Dads are different in handling emotions from moms In most cases moms tend to be emotional and feeling the hurt themselves when a child is hurt However dads are more detached from emotions Thus kids need to learn them both This is how dads teach their kids in handling emotions It tells the kids that emotions are all fight but they do not need to be our masters as we can master our emotions Challenges are very important for kids way as moms usually inspire their to take risks It s truly a different way of learning from a mom s way as moms usually inspire their kids to protect themselves If the kids are not willing to learn to take risks they character in them will help their kids to explore their potential as well as well as challenge them to grow What s more a dad also plays a part in teaching their kids to take responsibility It involves taking on a personal commitment to carry out a task and not blaming circumstances or others for one s failures It means being diligent honest and courageous enough to stand by principles We know moms generally teach their kids to stick to a routine but dads inspire their kids to be mote flexible But dads teach kids to the duty for making sure the house is clean dinner is serves and the kids are on schedule But dads teach kids to take life less seriously and have some serious frn 60 What does the underlined word detached probably mean A separatedB friendly C differentD protected 61 How many roles of dads are teach their children to be A threeB fourC fiveD six 62 According to the text dads teach their children to be A emotional brave and diligentB responsible adventurous and emotionless C fearless flexible and dutifulD responsible brave and changeable 63 We can infer from the passage that A dads are more important than moms in kids lives B kids should take as many risks as possible C it s the nature of moms to avoid responsibilites D kids need the inspiration from both moms and dads C It s about the size of a small slim upside down goat if you can imagine such a thing The sloth really is not only one of the laziest but one of the strangest of the strangest of mammals It spends most of its life asleep But even when it s awake it only moves very slowly There are two main kinds defined by the number of toes that they have on their font legs It s the three toed which has really slothful habits and the 7 one that interests me most You re not likely to have seen it in zoos for unlike the two toed which will rat all kinds of vegetables and fruits the three toed is really picky and will only accept leaves and fruits of a few particular kinds which few zoos can supply And in any case it doesn t make an exactly fascinating exhibit since it spends most of its tile sleeping When the skins and skeletons of this extraordinary beast reaches Europe artists given the task of illustrating the species in natural history books showed it standing upright on its four thin legs even though thee hooks on its feet and the fur on its body all pointed very obviously in what you might call the wrong way After all the artists must have said to themselves it would be too ridiculous to show it as animal that spent all its life upside down Sloths are only capable of a faint wheeze and occasional whistle These sounds are probably only made to deter a meat eater like a lion and certainly not to communicate with one another for sloths are virtually stone deaf It s said that an enthusiastic zoologist investigating the hearing ability of sloths fired his gun close to one It slowly raised its head blinked at the scientist and then went back to sleep again 64 Which of the following word best describes a sloth A unimaginableB unfaithfulC inactiveD endangered 65 The difference of the two main kinds of sloth lies in that A their toes are of different shapesB a two toed sloth will not eat fruits C the three toed is generally lazierD it s harder to capture a three toed sloth 66 The underlines word one refers to A one o clock B one gun shot C A sloth D one scientist 67 The experiment of an enthusiastic zoologist shows that A how slow a sloth can beB sloths have very poor hearing C sloths are sleepy all the timeD sloths are not easily disturbed D There s no shortage of web sites offering deals everything from daily deals to members only private sales But when it comes to real jaw dropping deals there s one company that seems to have figured out a out a way to really deliver The company is called QuiBids and they auction 拍卖 the hottest in demand electronics like Apple ipads and ipods as well as other items like gift cards from the top retailers 零售商 Unlike other sites the prices people pay are nowhere near retail How low are the prices 33 84 for a new Apple ipad 32 GB retail 600 22 10 for a new Nikon D90 Digital SLR Camera retail 1070 Our first reaction on seeing these prices was disbelief After all how cold QuiBids possibly afford to sell these items for so little surely they must be losing a lot of money 8 That s where its unique business model comes into play You see for every bid a buyer places for an item on QuiBids the company collects a small fee from the bidder The fee to bid is only about 60 cents but based on the volume of sales and bids the company is able to collect enough to make up for the ridiculous prices the items sell for But best of all participating in the QuiBids auction is incredibly fun Because each each bid costs a little to place shoppers can strategize when to place their bids Each auction has a strict time limit When you place your bid the system adds a little time to the auction to see if any other bids cone in If you have the winning bid when the cock runs out you win the item for that price But the best part of Quibids may be the Buy It Now feature This allows bidders who did not win an auction to still buy the product they want and apply the cost of the bids they placed as a discount on the regular product price So you still get the item and the bids you placed previously in the auction don t cost you anything 68 According to the text the success of Quibids mainly lies in A the change in people s shopping model B how its buying and selling is conducted C the quality of the goods and service D their willingness to risk losing money 69 We can infer from the passage that A other retailers will be out of business B Quibids mostly sell popular electronics C the prices on Quibids are the lowest D winning a bid is not just a matter of luck 70 A buyer who bid twice for a 20 MPS can get one from Buy It Now for A 18 8B 19 4C 20D 21 2 71 Which might be the most suitable title for the passage A How to Buy New Must have Electronics B Buy Products for Next to Nothing C The Most Successful Shopping Website D Tips on Shopping Online E A new genius in physics like Einstein will emerge scientists say But it may take a long time After more than 200 yeas separated Einstein from his nearest rival Isaac Newton Many physicists say the next Einstein hasn t been yet or is a baby now And researchers say there are many factors working against another Einstein emerging anytime soon For one thing physics is a much different field today In Einstein s day there were only a few thousand physicists worldwide and the theoreticians who could intellectually rival Einstein probably would fit into a streetcar with seats to spare Education is different too One essential aspect of Einstein s training that is overlooked is the years of philosophy he read as a teenager Kant Schopenhauer and Spinoza among others It taught him 9 how to think independently and abstractly about space and time Einstein was also an accomplished musician The interplay between music and math is well known Einstein would furiously play his violin as a way to think through a knotty physics problem Today universities have produced millions of physicists There aren t many jobs in science for them so they go to Wall Street and Silicon Valley to apply their analytical skills to more practical and rewarding efforts Maybe there is an Einstein out there today said Columbia University physicist Brian Greene but it would be a lot harder for him to be heard Especially considering what Einstein was promoting The actual structure of space and time bending My God what an idea Greene said at a recent gathering at the Aspen Institute It takes a certain type of person who will knock his head against the wall because you believe you ll find the solution Perhaps the best examples are the five scientific papers Einstein wrote in his miracle year of 1905 These thought experiments were pages of calculations signed and submitted to the prestigious 声誉高的 journal Annalen der Physik by an unknown What might happen to such a submission
