21、yMost college graduates would not do soHowever，studies show that in teenage years，people are more likely to try out new experiencesFor example，instead of working his way up the same organization like his grandfather did，a 15-year-old may dream about becoming a traveller一only to find in his early 20s

22、 that this attraction of new places is fading and change is less attractive The reason why people become less keen to change as they get older may be that peoplegenerally have similar life patterns and demandsMost people aim to find a job and a partner. As they get older，they may have young children

23、 and elderly family members to look after. These responsibilities cannot be achieved without some degree of steadiness，which means that new experiences and ideas may not have a place in the persons lifeNew experiences may bring excitement as well as insecurity，and so most people prefer to stay with

24、the familiar. However，not every individual is the same. A child may want to play a different game every day and get fed up if nothing changes at the kindergartenAnother may play with the same children and toys on every visit.

28、 of the same age D . as one gets older，he prefers the old patterns of lifeCIn my first week as a graduate student at Cambridge University in 1964 I met with a fellow student, two years ahead of me in his studies; he was unsteady on his feet and spoke with great difficulty. This was Stephen Hawking.

29、I learned that he had a bad disease and might not live long enough even to finish his PhD degree.But, amazingly, he has reached the age of 73. Even mere survival would have been a medical miracle, but of course, he didnt merely survive. He has become arguably the most famous scientist in the world f

30、or his brilliant research, for his bestselling books, and, above all, for his astonishing victory over hardship.Stephen received his “death sentence” in 1964, when I thought it was hard for him to go on with his study. Stephen went from Albans School to Oxford University. He was said to be a “lazy”

31、undergraduate, but his brilliance earned him a first-class degree, an “entry ticket” to a research career in Cambridge and a uniquely inspiring achievement.Within a few years of the burst of his disease he was wheelchair-bound, and his speech was so unclear that it could only be understood by those

32、who knew him well. But his scientific career went from strength to strength: he quickly came up with a series of insights into the nature of black holes (then a very new idea) and how the universe began. In 1974 he was elected to the Royal Society at the exceptionally early age of 32.The great advan

33、ces in science generally involve discovering a link between phenomena that were previously conceptually unconnected for instance, Isaac Newton realized that the force making an apple fall to earth was the same as the force that holds the moon and planets in their orbits. Stephens revolutionary idea

34、about a link between gravity and quantum(量子) theory has still not been tested. However, it has been hugely influential; indeed, one of the main achievements of string theory(弦理论)has been to confirm and build on his idea. He has undoubtedly done more than anyone else since Einstein to improve our kno

35、wledge of gravity and he is one of the top-ten living theoretical physicists.28. What impressed the author most about Stephen Hawking?A. His brilliant research. B. His bestselling books.C.

It can be inferred that Stephen Hawking was born .A. in the late 1940s B. in the early 1940s C. in the early 1930s D. in the late 1930s31. What can we learn from the text?A. Hawking

37、s theory was proved years ago. B. Hawking was not as successful as Newton.C. String theory built on Hawkings idea.D. Hawkings theory has had little influence on others.D Have you had this experience? You are watching a movie. A man is shooting on the screen. The picture is so real that you think he

38、is shooting at you. Or a car is speeding on the screen and at one point you are afraid that it will hit you. Three-dimensional(3D)movies use special technology to make pictures seem more real and exciting than two-dimensional ones. The popular movie Avatar uses 3D technology. So far we can only see

39、3D movies in the cinema with a special screen and projector(放映机）.But soon, we will be able to watch them in our living rooms. Last month, Woods Company told reporters that it plans to bring 3D televisions to homes in the near future. The company is also hoping to make other products with 3D, like la

40、ptops and PS3 “The 3D train is on the track, and we are ready to drive it home,” said the President. 3D movies and TV programs are fun to watch, but do you know how they are made? It is much easier to understand if we do an experiment.Hold one of your fingers up at arms length and close one eye

41、. Then try closing the other eye. As you switch between open eyes, you should see your finger “jumping” left and right against the background.This happens because our two eyes are about 4cm away from each other. The separation causes each eye to see the world from a different angle. The brain puts t

42、hese two views together. What you see becomes three-dimensional.3D movies are made using two video cameras at the same time, which creates two different images. When the movie plays in a cinema, two projectors put the two images on the screen. With a pair of 3D glasses, the two images are separated

43、and each image only enters one eye. Your brain puts the two pictures back together, and the pictures on the screen become three-dimensional.32. What does the underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph mean?A. Theyve got a train to take 3D movies back home. B. They are not sure about the future of 3

44、D movies.  C. They are ready to bring 3D technology to home.D.They have no more work to do on 3D technology .33. From the passage, we know that 3D technology _. A.creates two different images separately B.works in the similar way of eyes seeing things C. uses special video cameras and screens D

47、 D.Fiction 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。  We all regard receiving presents as a pleasant experience and yet it can be one of the most awkward situations. It is often difficult to look pleased when you receive a gift which is entirely useless or the wrong size.

48、 36 However, you have no right to change an article purchased just because it does not fit or is not to your liking. Worse still, the agreement on the sale is between the person who bought it and the shop.So you will have to tell your favorite aunt that the T-shirt does not fit. But an exchange is n

49、ot always that simple because there has to be a good reason for it. 37 For example, if the buyer was told that a switch was voice operated and later found out it was not, then action could be taken. You would have the right to return it and get the money back.But if you are returning something, no m

50、atter what the reason is, you will be expected to have proof of purchase. If the receipt（收据）cannot be found, then it is possible to use another proof of purchase such as a credit card receipt. 38 Many big stores have a much more tolerant policy towards returns and see it as a gesture of goodwill to

51、exchange goods without question. Stores including Marks & Spencer are well known for their “no argument” policy on returned goods. 39 So if a shop refuses to exchange the goods or to offer a refund(退款), the seller is likely to be within his legal rights unless there is something wrong with the g

52、oods. In that case, the boot is on the other foot. You have every right to demand a cash refund or a replacement, but only if you have returned it within a “reasonable” time. 40 Some shops and stores expect things to be returned within a week of purchase, while others may permit a much longer time l

53、imit. In any case if you return a thing after what is considered a “reasonable” time, then all you are legally entitled to is the cost of repair.AYou should make clear what your legal position is before returning goods to the shops.BUnfortunately, the law does not explain what is meant by “reasonabl

54、e”. C. If all of these have been lost, you may have to rely on a witness.DAll you can do is exchange it after your friend or relative has gone home.EIt is unlike anything you would buy for yourself. FHowever, shoppers should remember this is a privilege, not a right.GEither the thing has to be broke
