story about the loss of wildernessand the story during which my wife Kathy got cancer.Thats the one that made time stand still.I stopped taking pictures on the day when she found that tumor (肿瘤)Cruelly，it was Thanksgiving.By Christmas，she had become very weak.Some days she was so sick she couldnt watch TV.Early examination saves time.But ours was not early.By the time you can feel it

strangers personality simply by looking at the persons shoes.“Shoes convey useful information about their wearers，”the authors wrote in the new study published in the Journal of Research in Personality.Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgments were based on the style，cost，color and condition of someones shoes.In the study，63 University of Kansas researchers looked at pictures showing 208 different pairs of shoes worn by the studys participants.Volunteers in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes，and then filled out a personality questionnaire.Some of the results were expected：People with higher incomes most commonly wore expensive shoes，and flashier shoes were typically worn by outgoing people.However，some of the more specific results are strange enough.For example，“practical and functional”shoes were generally worn by more“pleasant”people，while ankle boots were more linked with“aggressive”personalities.The strangest of all may be that those who wore“uncomfortable looking” shoes tend to have “calm” personalities.And if you have several pairs of new shoes or take extreme care of them，you may suffer from“attachment anxiety”，spending lots of time worrying about what other people think of your appearance.There was even a political calculation in the mix with more liberal(主张变革的)types wearing“shabbier and less expensive” shoes.The researchers noted that some people will choose shoe styles to mask their actual personalities，but researchers noted that volunteers were also likely to be unaware that their footwear choices were showing the deep side of their personalities.28What does this text mainly tell us?AShoes can hide peoples real personalities.BShoes convey false information about the wearer.CPeoples personalities can be judged by their shoes.DPeople know little about their personalities.29The participants were asked to_Aprovide pictures of their shoesBlook at pictures of different shoesCdesign a personality questionnaireDhand in their commonly worn shoes30Which of the results is beyond peoples expectation?AWealthy people often wear expensive shoes.BPleasant people like wearing uncomfortable shoes.CAggressive people are likely to wear ankle boots.DFlashier shoes are typically worn by outgoing people.31The author wrote the text in order to_Ainform us of a new studyBintroduce a research methodCteach how to choose shoesDdescribe different personalitiesDGenetically modified (转基因的）foods have become a focus point of agriculture throughout the news today. This has an effect on many different aspects of the agriculture world. From the seed dealer,to the farmer that buys the seed，to the workers that the farmer sells to：all are affected by the new technologies that are involved in this part of production agriculture.Genetically modified foods have come under heavy fire lately. There are some countries that are against buying these types of foods. They are being tested for safety by the best scientific experts in Europe, the US and the rest of the worldThey are not for sale until they have gone through this complete safety process. Since they are a new product，and any slight problem with them could affect a whole country, these tests are very necessary.These safety tests are carried out because of the new rules that were made with the Novel Foods Regulation. Begun in May of 1997，the Novel Foods Regulation set up an EU-wide pre-market system for all novel foods. A novel food is described as one that has not been eaten by EU consumers widely in the past. By setting up this program the EU hopes to keep its consumers safe from any possible side effects of any new food products.There are a variety of ways in which genetic modification has helped food producers.They can improve the nutritional value or the storage conditions of the food. Today there are only two genetically modified foods that have been allowed for use，these are GM soybean and GM maize.Despite any safety checks, many people are still cautious about eating genetically modified foods. By providing these people with the necessary information, we can allow them to make decisions about these foods.32. What do we know about the novel food? A. Its very popular in EU. B.

We should tell people that they are trying to fool the farmers.EMost cars have seat belts as part of their equipment.Seat belts protect drivers and passengers in case of accidents.They also reduce the effect of a crash on the body. 36 Worldwide，the devices have protected up to a million people.America first recognized the invention of an automobile seat belt in 1849.The government gave a patent to an engineer named Edward Claghorn of New York City so that others would not copy his invention of a safety device. 37 This early version of safety belt was said to include hooks and other attachments for securing the person to a fixed object.Other inventors followed with different versions of the seat belt. 38 It resulted from the work of a Swedish engineer，Nils Bohlin.His threepoint，lap and shoulder seat belt first appeared on cars in Europe 50 years ago.Nils Bohlin recognized that both the upper and lower body needed to be held securely in place.His invention contained a cloth strap(带子)that was placed across the chest and another strap across the hips. 39Volvo was the first company to offer the modern seat belt to its cars.This company also provided use of Nils Bohlins design to other carmakers.40 He received a gold medal from the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences in 1995.He died in Sweden in 2002.AThe Swedish engineer won many honors for his seat belt.BClaghorn was a promising young engineer with many honors all his life.CThe design joined the straps next to the hip.DThere are many companies adopting Nils Bohlins invention of the belt.ESafety experts say that seat belts save thousands of lives a year in America alone.FBut more than 100 years passed before the current seat belt was developed.GClaghorn called his invention a safety belt.三、完形填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）One day，a professor entered the classroom and asked his students to prepare for a surprise test.They waited anxiously at their desks for the test to begin.The professor 41 the question papers，with the text facing down as usual. 42 he handed them all out，he asked his students to 43 the page and begin.To everyones surprise，there were no 44 ，just a black dot in the center of the page.The professor，seeing the expression on everyones face，told them the following：“I want you to write what you 45 there.”The students， 46 ，got started on the inexplicable (费解的) task.At the end of the class，the professor 47 all the answer papers and started reading each one of them aloud in front of all the students.All of them，with no 48 ，described the black dot，trying to explain its position in the middle of the sheet，etc.After all had been 49 ，the classroom was silent，and the professor began to explain：“Im not going to grade (打分) this.I 50 wanted to give you something to think about.No one wrote about the 51 part of the paper.Everyone focused on the black dot，and the same happens in our 52 We have a white paper to observe and 53 ，but we always focus on the dark spots.Our life is a 54 given to us with love and care，and we always have 55 to celebrate：nature renewing itself every day，our friends around us，the job that 56 our livelihood and the miracles we see every day.57 ，we insist on focusing only on the dark spots：the health issues that bother us，the lack of money，the 58 relationship with colleagues，the 59 with a friend，and etc.The dark spots are very 60 compared to everything we have in our lives，but they are the ones that pollute our minds.”41.
