Coming to New York from Baltimore-where there is just one small snowstorm each yearI was 21 by a fireplace in my new home, with fires 22 all day, just as what ancient people did at a wedding.My husband, Peter, comes from northern Ontario, where winter 23 from September to May and cold wind is 24 . “When Canadians have 30 below, they 25 it,” he says. “Cold wind is for crybabies.”So to marry this man I had to learn to 26 for serious cold. To get me from Baltimores Inner Harbor to Albanys frozen Hudson, Peter piled me 27 jackets and sweaters, scarves and gloves, even a hat with earflaps. The gift of Sorel boots-comfortably warm at Canadas 30 below, was a 28 we were getting serious.That first winter together, living in upstate New York, I thought Id 29 . My boots were good below freezing, but my fingers could 30 tie them. Physical adaptation is real, but it came slowly. And there is also emotional 31 to cold. Some days I tell myself that I have enough beach memories to stick to on 32 days and other days I am reminded that living cold does indeed build 33 .34 , having a warm house is important. After my first marriage ended, for years I _35 went on a second date with a man whose response to my “Im cold.” was, “Put on a sweater.” Now Im married to a man who 36 that cold hands do not mean a warm heart, and that a big oil bill is better than roses. But surprisingly, Ive grown, too. I am 37 , in this new life and climate, to go and look for that cost-saving sweater.The word comfortable did not 38 refer to being contented. Its Latin root, comfortare,means to strengthen. The Holy Spirit is Comforter; not to make us comfortable, but to make us 39 . We 40 not be warm but we are indeed comforted.21Aset downBset aboutCset upDset out22AlightingBburningCgoingDflashing23AappearsBstartsCkeepsDruns24AsomethingBeverythingCnothingDnone25AsuggestBmeanCoverlookDenjoy26AwearBstandCdressDride27A underBoverCinsideDwith28AremarkBsignCwarningDshow29AsleepBforgetCdieDcontinue30AhardlyBeasilyCtightlyDloosely31AhealthBactionCfeelingsDadaptation32ArainyBfreezingCsunnyDhappy33AcharacterBloveChopeDhardship34AMeanwhileBHoweverCThereforeDBesides35AmerelyBeverCneverDjust36AwondersBknowsCstatesDdecides37AunableBaccustomedCinterestedDwilling38AoriginallyBexactlyCactuallyDnamely39AwildBcoldCstrongDwarm40AwillBmustCcanDmay第二部分： 阅读理解 (共两节，每小题2分，满分50分)阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，AAt one time no one could travel on an English road faster than four miles an hour. That was the law until 1896. A man had to walk in front of a car which could not go faster than the man. At night the man had to carry a red lamp.Once Charles Rolls brought a car from France to England, but he wanted to drive faster than four miles an hour. In order to have no trouble with the police, he had a talk with some of the police officers, who ordered their policemen to look the other way when the car came along the road. This was a good plan in the country, but not so easy to follow in the busy streets of London.One night Rolls and some friends started from London on their journey to Cambridge. One of the men walked in front with the red lamp, but he walked as fast as he could. The police became very interested in walls and shop-fronts when they heard the car and not one of them saw it.They reached a hill, but what a waste of time it was to drive down the hill at four miles an hour! Rolls was getting ready to jump into the car, but then he noticed a policeman who was not looking the other way. The slow car reached him.“Good evening,” said the policeman, looking at the car.“Good evening,” said Rolls, holding the lamp.“One of these horseless things,” said the policeman, looking at it with interest.“Yes,” said Rolls, and waited.“Ive often wanted a ride in one, but of course policemen cant buy things like that.” He turned and looked hopefully in Rollss face.“Jump in,” said Rolls.“Thanks,” said the policeman, and did so. “Now,” he said, sitting down, “You can let it go just as you like down this hill. There isnt another policeman on this road for a mile and a half.”41The policemen were told “to look the other way” so that _.A. they could watch the car coming from the other directionB. Rollss car could go faster than four miles an hourC. they could make sure no one was in the wayD. the car would not hit them on the road42In what way did the policemen carry out the order from their officers?A. They greeted Rolls when the car came along.B. They walked in front of the car with a red lamp.C. They pretended to be attracted by something else.D. They stood on duty every 1.5 miles along the road.43The policeman who said “Good evening” to Rolls wanted to _.A. teach Rolls a lessonB. take a free ride homeC. have a talk with RollsD. have a car ride experience44After the policeman jumped into the car, Rolls _.A. dared not drive the car faster than he was allowed toB. could drive as fast as he wished within a certain distanceC. could drive on any road he liked for the rest of the journeyD. drove his car as fast as he could down the hill to CambridgeBChildren who spend more time reading with their parents have a greater chance of becoming better readers than those who dont. With help from their parents, children can learn techniques to improve their reading skills.“A lot of parents think after their child learns to read, they should stop reading to them,” Donna George said. “They are sadly mistaken.”George offers her services to parents at the Title I Learning Centers. She said reading aloud to children may be the most valuable thing parents can do. “It is better for children to hear things at a higher level than where they are,” George said. “Parents are their childs first teacher.” Parents help their children build listening, phonics, comprehension and vocabulary skills when they read aloud to them.Before parents can identify reading problems, they should escape the enemy-television and limit the time their children spend watching television. George suggested not allowing kids to have a TV in their bedrooms, setting a schedule of when kids can watch or keeping a list of how many programs children watch. Louise Joines said while her 14-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son enjoy reading, the television sometimes becomes a distraction. So she tries to build the situation by suggesting books the entire family will enjoy reading together, like the Harry Potter series.Parents who do not read themselves should not count on their children being enthusiastic about it. If parents would read to their children at least 15 minutes every day, children would not have so many problems in school. It is the parents job to help build that desire in their children, and of course to know what kind of books to read is also important.45. According to George, reading aloud to children _.A. help them correct mistakesB. is helpful to their readingC. is parents first duty to their childrenD. can get children out of televisions attraction46. The underlined word “distraction” (in Paragraph 4) means something that _.A. can improve childrens readingB. can help childrens right way of readingC. can make children interested in readingD. can make children not attentive47. What does the fourth paragraph mainly want to show is important?A. reading skills B. reading speedC. feeding materials D. reading environment48. If the passage is not completed, which of the following can follow the fifth paragraph?A. Parents choose reading materials for their children.B. Advice is given to control their children.C. What TV programs children can watch during reading.D. How children improve their reading by themselves.49. Which one would be the best title for the passage?A. Children Spend More Time Reading with Parents.B. Parents Are Their Childs First Teacher.C. How Parents Make Their Child a Better Reader.D. How to Improve Childrens Reading Ability.CIf youre the type of traveler who just wants a suitable place to hang your hat and you dont want to spend a fortune to do it, here are several ways to save on your next hotel room:*Be Flexible Hotel rates are based on supply and demand, so be aware of peak periods. If your destinations high season is from December through April and youre trying to book near the end of April, you might find considerable savings if you change your travel dates by a week or two.*Check Hotel Web Sites The large travel-booking Web sites often sell rooms from the middlemen who have bought up empty hotel rooms. But the major hotel chains also offer last-minute discounts, and because theyre not paying the middleman, they sometimes have better deals than the travel sites.*Dont be Afraid to Bargain Most people are so intimidated (畏缩的) by know-it-all hotel desk clerks that they dont bargain for a better deal. But bargaining for a better deal is often worth the trouble, because most hotel general managers would prefer having a customer paying a lower-than-usual rate to no customer at all. And if you find something unfair on your hotel bill, dont be afraid to complain. To keep your goodwill, hotels will often reduce or cancel such charges.*Avoid Hidden Costs Expensive little extras hotels never mention can increase the cost of your stay. Dont let this happen. Find out about resort fees, fees for parking and Internet use before you agree to stay. And dont touch the hotels phone unless you absolutely have to the rates can be more than $2 a minute even inside the United States.50. According to the passage, which of the following will save you some money?A. Change your visiting places in high season.B. Book rooms through Web sites.C. Use the hotels phone.D. Bargain with desk clerks for your room,51. That travelers can bargain for better deal is often based on the fact that _.A. managers often prefer a lower-paid customer to no customerB. there are many places which should not be chargedC. customers are often afraid to complain the priceD. the desk clerks and managers often cheat the travelers52. The passage was mainly written to _.A. advertise hotelsB. complain high costsC. serve the travelers D. introduce hotel servicesDDo you want to live forever? By the year 2050, you might actually get your wish if you are willing to leave your biological body and live in silicon circuits (半导体电路). But long before then, perhaps as early as 2020, some measures will begin offering a semblance of immortality (虚拟的永生).Researchers are confident that technology will soon be able to track every waking moment of your life. Whatever you see and hear, all that you say and write, can be recorded, analyzed and added to your personal chronicles (履历). By the 2030, it may be possible to catch your nervous (神经) systems through electrical activities, which would also keep your thoughts and emotions. Researchers at the laboratories of British Telecommunications have given the name of this idea as Soul Catcher.Small electronic equipment will make preparation for Soul Catcher. It would use a wearable supercomputer, perhaps in a wristwatch, with wireless links to micro sensors under your scalp (头皮) and in the nerves that carry all five sensory signals. So wearing a video camera would no longer be required.At first, the Soul Catchers companion system the Soul Reader might have trouble copying your thoughts in complete details. Even in 2030, we may still be struggling to understand how the brain is working inside, so reading your thoughts and understanding your emotions might not be possible. But these signals could be kept for the day when they can be transferred to silicon circuits to revitalize minds everlasting entities (永生实体). Researchers can only wonder what it will be like to wake up one day and find yourself alive inside a machine.For people who choose not to live in silicon, semblance of immortality would not be as useless as they thought. People would know their lives would not be forgotten, but would be kept a record of the human race forever. And future generations would have a much fuller understanding of the past. History would not be controlled by just the rich and powerful, Hollywood stars, and a few thinkers in the upper society.53The main idea of this passage is that .A. human beings long for living foreverB. there are many difficulties in making the Soul CatcherC. people can live forever as technology developsD. the invention of Soul Catcher has great importance54According to this passage, a Soul Catcher will be .A. a new machine on which research measures have already been madeB. a new invention in order to catch and keep humans thoughtsC. made by British scientists to offer something that looks like living foreverD. made of silicon circuits which can catch peoples nervous activity55We can infer from the passage that semblance of immortality is .A. to be a reality sooner or laterB. far from certainC. just an idea that couldnt t be realized at allD. a fading hope56The meaning of the underlined word “revitalize” in the fourth paragraph is close to _.A. make deadB. make famousC. make knownD. make activeEI am one of the many city people who are always saying that given the choice we would prefer to live in the country away from the dirt and noise of a large city. If it werent for my job I would immediately move out for the open spaces and go back to natureCities can be frightening places. The majority of the population live in many tower blocks, noisy, dirty and impersonal. The sense of belonging to a community tends to disappear when you live fifteen floors up. All you can see from your window is sky, or other blocks of flats. Children become aggressive and nervous as they are shut up at home all day, with nowhere to play; their mothers feel isolated (孤立的) from the rest of the world. Strangely enough, in the past the residents (居民) of one street all knew each other, but nowadays people on the same floor in tower blocks dont even say hello to each otherCountry life, on the other ha
