He looked to be in his late 40s but was probably a lot younger. He had shoulder length straight black hair and a short beard.Every day after work I would remember to gather any spare change, and put it aside to give to him if I saw him. A feeling of joy would come over me every time I saw him, while coming off the ramp (坡道). So did he. Sometimes the red light would be on for a minute and we would ask each other about our day. His answer would always be the same, “Im blessed!”Then one day I was called into my bosss office and was told that I was being laid off. For the rest of that day all I could think of was “how am I going to provide for my kids as a mother, how am I going to pay rent?”Needless to say that on my way home that day I was very sad and upset. I didnt remember to look for my spare change and keep it ready like I usually did. Yet there he was as always, as I turned the ramp. He set his eyes on me, while still smiling and waving at others as usual.While I was waiting for the red light to turn, he strolled (闲逛) over to my car. He had a big smile. He looked at me straight in the eyes and said, “Today I will give you a dollar.” He then reached into his pocket and pulled out a dollar bill.You see that day he taught me a valuable lesson more than a dollar bill. No matter what material things are taken from you, no one can take away your choice to be joyful. Every time Im faced with challenges, I think of the homeless mans valuable lesson and remember that I am blessed.46. The writer would have a short conversation with the homeless man when .

Because there was something wrong with her job.48. What is NOT true about the homeless man from the passage? A. He would be seen at the exit of the freeway.B. He usually smiled and waved at others.C.

But why is it that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map, while others can lose themselves in the next street?Scientists say were all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly understood how it works. One theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it. Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we dont use it, we lose it.“Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around,” says Jim Martland, Research Director of the project. “However, if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they never develop the skills.”Jim Martland also emphasizes (强调) that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction. He makes the following suggestions: If you are using a map, turn it so it relates to the way you are facing. If you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stone or a tree. Note landmarks on the route as you go away from your bike. When you return, go back along the same route. Simplify the way of finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town, streams, or walls in the countryside to guide you. Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks such as tower blocks or hills which can help to find out where you are.Now you need never get lost again!51. Scientists believe that . A. people never lose their sense of directionB. some babies are born with a sense of directionC. people learn a sense of direction as they grow olderD. everybody owned a sense of direction from birth52.

A. tie it to a tree so as to stop it from being stolenB. remember something easily known on the routeC. draw a map of the route to help remember where it isD. stay away from taking the same route when you come back to it54.

If you are, you make up just 10% of the worlds population. 56 Most people write and play musical instruments with their right hands.Why are so few people left-handed? A new theory, called “cooperation (合作) vs competition” may have the answer. 57 When making tools for a right-handed person like a knife it was easier if everybody could use the same hand. But some humans wanted to compete instead. So to have an advantage over right-handed people, they would use their left hand to surprise competitors. 58 German born American scientist Albert Einstein, British physicist Isaac Newton and British biologist Charles Darwin are some famous “lefties”. At least six US presidents were left-handed, including Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and Harry Truman.“Lefties” are also often linked with creativity and visual (视觉) skills.How can this be? Well, the left side of our brain is where we solve problems. The right side of our brain is where we develop creativity. Right-handers tend (倾向) to use the left side more than the right side. 59 “This is why there are more of them in creative areas, such as music, art and writing,” said Alan Searleman, PhD, from St. Lawrence University, New York. 60 They tend to have worse memories, often forgetting names and places.A. As humans evolved (进化), we needed to work together to live.B. This means we live in a right-handed world.C. However, its not all good news for left-handers.D. Which means that, lefties should celebrate their differences.E. Yet left-handers tend to use both sides more evenly than right-handers.F. Although there are few left-handed people, some of them are geniuses (天才).七、词语填空 (共10小题，计10分)用方框中所给单词的适当形式填空，使短文通顺、正确、连贯 (每个单词限用一次)。find, sit, create, but ,develop ,good, even ,room, while, city,More than half of the worlds population live in cities.
