traveled a thousand miles from home to be with him in his last days It was far more heartbreaking than I d expected one of the most difficult and painful times in my life After he passed away I stayed alone in his apartment There were so many things to deal with It all seemed endless I was lonely I hated the silence of the apartment But one evening the silence was broken I heard crying outside I opened the door to find a little cat on the steps He was thin and poor He looked the way I felt I brought him inside and gave him a can of fish He ate it and then almost immediately fell sound asleep The next morning I checked with neighbors and learned that the cat had been abandoned by his owner who d moved out So the little cat was there all alone just like I was As I walked back to the apartment I tried to figure out what to do with him Having something else to take care of seemed like the very last thing I needed But as soon as I opened the apartment door he came running and jumped into my arms It was clear from that moment that he had no intention of going anywhere I started calling him Willis in honor of my father s best father From then on things grew easier With Willis in my lap time seemed to pass much more quickly When the time finally came for me to return home I had to decide what to do about Willis There was absolutely no way I would leave without him It s now been five years since my father died Over the years several people have commented on how nice it was of me to rescue the cat But I know that we rescued each other I may have given him a home but he gave me something greater 51 When the author first saw the cat she A didn t know what to doB was very happy C was angry with his cryingD felt sympathy for him 52 The underlined sentence in Para 3 implies that the author A loved to stay alone in the house B needed something to fill the empty house C was too busy and tired to keep a catD needed something to take care of to kill time 53 We can learn from the passage that A Willis was named after the author s father B time passed quickly after the author adopted Willis C the author and Willis were both homeless D Willis missed his previous owner 54 What s the best title for the passage A A little catB How to take care of animals C A painful experienceD What I got from a little cat B Background music may seem harmless but it can have a powerful effect on those who hear it Recorded background music first found its way into factories shops and restaurants in the USA Very soon it spread to other parts of the world Now it is becoming difficult to go shopping or eat a meal without listening to background music To begin with background music was intended simply to create a soothing 舒适的 atmosphere Recently however it s becoming a big business An American marketing expert has shown that music can boost 提升 sales or increase factory production by as much as a third But it has to be the light music Lively music has no effect at all on sales Slow music can increase receipts 收入 by 34 This is probably because shoppers slow down and have more opportunity to spot items they would like to buy Yet slow music isn t always the answer The expert found that in restaurants slow music meant customers took longer to eat their meals which reduced overall sales So restaurant owners might be well advised to play faster music to keep the customers moving unless of course the resulting indigestion 消化不良 leads to complaints 55 Background music was first used A in the cinemas and theatres in the USA B in the offices and hospitals in the USA C in the schools and churches in the USA D in the factories shops and restaurants in the USA 56 An American marketing expert has found background music can A increase sales or factory production B create a soothing atmosphere C make people slow down D make people forget their worries 57 Slow music is useless in in increasing sales A shops B restaurants C factories D cinemas 58 Restaurant owners are advised to play to increase overall sales A lively music B loud music C slower music D faster music C We can achieve knowledge either actively or passively 被动地 We achieve it actively by direct experience by testing and proving an idea or by reasoning We achieve knowledge passively by being told by someone else Most of the learning that takes place in the classroom and the kind that happens when we watch TV or read newspapers or magazines is passive Conditioned as we are to passive learning it s not surprising that we depend on it in our everyday communication with friends and co workers Unfortunately passive learning has a serious problem It makes us tend to accept what we are told even when it is little more than hearsay and rumor 谣言 Did you ever play the game Rumor It begins when one person writes down a message but doesn t show it to anyone Then the person whispers it word for word to another person That person in turn whispers it to still another and so on through all the people playing the game The last person writes down the message word for word as he or she hears it Then the two written statements are compared Typically the original message has changed That s what happens in daily life The simple fact that people repeat a story in their own words changes the story Then too most people listen imperfectly And many enjoy adding their own creative touch to a story trying to improve on it stamping 打上标记 it with their own personal style Yet those who hear it think they know This process is also found among scholars and authors A statement of opinion by one writer may be restated as a fact by another who may in turn be quoted by yet another and this process may continue unless it occurs to someone to question the facts on which the original writer based his opinion or to challenge the interpretation he placed upon those facts 59 According to the passage passive learning may occur in A doing a medical experiment B visiting an exhibition C solving a math problem D doing scientific reasoning 60 The underlined word it in Paragraph 2 refers to A communication B knowledge C passive learningD active learning 61 The author mentions the game Rumor to show that A a message should be delivered in different ways B a message may be changed when being passed on C people may have problems with their sense of hearing D people tend not to believe in what they know as rumor 62 What can we infer from the passage A Active learning is less important B Passive learning is not found among scholars C Active learning occurs more frequentlyD Passive learning may not be reliable D There are many differing thoughts on the effectiveness of hypnosis 催眠 as a kind of treatment However scientific studies seem to have concluded that hypnosis is not only a true kind of treatment but also highly effective There have been a number of controlled studies in recent decades and they all seem to agree hypnosis most definitely does work Within this essay I will discuss just two of many studies about hypnosis and how they show that hypnosis works In a study released in the Journal of Clinical Psychology to test the helpfulness of hypnosis in losing weight 109 volunteers ranging from the age of 17 to 67 completed a behavioral treatment either with or without the addition of hypnosis The treatment took nine weeks and during return check ups both eight months and two years after the treatment the people who used hypnosis showed a continued weight loss rate much higher than the people who didn t Those who used hypnosis were much better at achieving their ideal weight goals In 2009 researchers at Hull University found that hypnosis had an influence on brain scans This shows that hypnosis had an influence on brain activity that can be picked up on brain scans This shows that hypnosis is not just a placebo treatment 安慰疗法 as some doubters claim it is Our study shows hypnosis is real said British psychologist Dr Michael Heap who was involved in the study This piece of research shows that hypnosis works and also exactly how it works There are also studies proving that hypnosis works for pain relief improving skin quality improving confidence as well as helping with many other problems If you ve ever thought about using hypnosis but were not sure whether it would work for you you should now have all the proof you need to use hypnosis with confidence 63 The study mentioned in Para 2 shows that A hypnosis works immediately after being used B hypnosis is effective in helping people lose weight C people will gain weight if stopping using hypnosis D old people have difficulty in achieving ideal weight goals 64 We learn from the 2009 study that hypnosis A does not really workB is just a kind of comfort C can help improve confidenceD has visible function on the brain 65 The passage mentions the following possible effects of hypnosis except A easing painB improving skin quality C shaping character D helping losing weight 66 What is the author s attitude towards using hypnosis A Negative B Approving C Cautious D Skeptical E Buying a house for most of the people is a once in a lifetime decision which means people decide to do so only after coming across the ideal house Surprisingly eight in every 10 home buyers are unhappy with their houses A survey conducted by the Beijing Consumers Association BCA recently shows about 80 percent of the 2 315 respondents in 23 residential complexes of Beijing are dissatisfied with the soaring house prices They think the reasonable price in Beijing should be between 3 000 yuan and 7 000 yuan per square meter The quality of the buildings the surrounding environment and traffic and property management 物业管理 are the other factors that play a role in people s decision to buy a house The landscapes in the residential areas are a source of unhappiness for 43 2 percent of the respondents and about one third say they were bluffed into buying third grade house And more than half are not satisfied with the sport and entertainment facilities in their neighborhood Property management in the buildings 56 5 percent of the respondents say is way below standard compared to the high fee charged by the complexes 60 percent of the consumers doubt the contents of developers advertisements with only 6 3 percent being satisfied Experts have suggested consumers gather thorough knowledge about a developer and their work before deciding to buy a house from it They should check the day light conditions and ventilation in different weather c
