He 36 and made fun of Aesop, asking him why he wasted his t

9、ime in such 37 games.Aesop responded by 38 a bow, loosening its string, and placing it on the ground. Then he said to the critical man, “Now, 39 the riddle(迷), if you can. Tell us what the unstrung bow means.”The man 40 at it for several minutes but had no idea about what 41 Aesop was trying to make

10、. Aesop 42 ,“If you keep a bow always bent, it will break 43 ; but if you let it go loose, it will be more 44 for use when you want it.”So it is with us. Our minds and bodies are like the 45 .When often under the 46 of everyday life, we can finally 47 .We need to loosen up; we need time to 48 the pr

11、essure off and relax.Former baseball pitcher(投球手) Dutch Leonard might have put it a little differently. He once said that the 49 of great pitching is not speed or the ability to throw curves(曲线球). Its the “change of pace”. Even the 50 batter(击球手) will soon learn how to hit a pitcher who continually

12、throws the same kind of pitch. But its 51 to hit a pitcher who changes the pace of pitching. That 52 of pace gives a pitcher an advantage over the other pitchers.A change of pace also gives us a(n) 53 in life. Taking time to watch the clouds, enjoy a breeze, take a walk, read just slowdown is 54 if

Since moving to Buffalo shes become a big hockey fa

17、n and has encouraged me to start watching it. Unfortunately its very difficult to find hockey on television here in Alabama. Since hockey games dont air very much on television Ive had to look for different ways to watch hockey games.I often see websites that claim if you go to their website you can

18、 watch television on your computer. I try out many of these websites hoping that one of the television stations is a northern station that airs hockey games. Unfortunately, most of them dont work. Either the site doesnt really give you what they advertise or their video player doesnt work properly.

19、But finally Ive found one websites that actually works.Free Tube is a site that you can go to and watch Television online for free. You dont have to download any kind special software or pay money or even sign up for anything. All you have to do is go to Free Tube, choose your channel and start watc

20、hing. The different channels to choose from are separated into different categories like news, business, entertainment, music and sports. Youre not going to find channels like NBC or ABC so you can watch the latest episode of Heroes or Greys Anatomy but it does include some popular channels like Car

21、toon Network and ESPN.There is also a movie section. Each move channel airs different sorts of films like adventure, classics, comedy or horror and that channel will always air that kind of movies. The movie section also includes my favorite station called Maxx Trailers (预告片). Maxx Trailers airs not

22、hing but movies trailers 24 hours a day. Some of the trailers are for movies coming out and some are for movies that have already been released but already released movies dont go back farther than a couple of months.So far I havent had any problems with Free Tubes video player either. Whenever I ch

23、oose a channel the video almost always works and usually loads every quickly. The only problem I have with Free Tube is that there is currently a glitch if youre using Firefox. Once you choose a channel you cant select another channel to change to, your web browser will freeze up. So if youre using

24、Firefox the only way to switch channels is to leave the site and re-enter the site, when choosing what channel you want to go to. However, Free Tube is aware of this glitch and is working with Mozilla to get it fixed right away.If youre missing some show everyone is talking about like Greys Anatomy

25、or Heroes this isnt really a solution for that. But Free Tube is a good way to find channels that you werent aware of; there are several good stations to be found. 56. The author mainly _ in this passage.A. tells us his experience in using the Web.B. introduces Free Tube to the readersC. shows us th

26、e disadvantages of Free TubeD. shows us how to enjoy films online57. The author got interested in watching hockey games _A. because he is a sports fanB. due to his sisters influenceC. since everyone enjoys the gamesD. because he has nothing to do all day long58. Form the passage we can learn that _A

27、. the author is also very fond of moviesB. Maxx Trailers airs to-be-released moviesC. ABC is a very famous TV station in AmericaD. Firefox is the only software used to watch films online59. The underlined word “glitch” probably means _A. coverB. changeC. noteD. faultBNuclear energy has always been c

28、ontroversial. But since the tsunami and nuclear disaster in Fukushima (Japan) last year the issue is back in the headlines. And the world is divided some countries are planning more nuclear plants, while others have promised to shut theirs down.After Fukushima, Germany decided to switch off all its

29、nuclear plants by 2022. Switzerland and Italy are also phasing out nuclear power. But France and the United States remain staunch supporters of atomic energy. In fact, almost 80% of Frances electricity comes from nuclear power, the highest percentage in the world. And in the US, the Obama administra

30、tion said it “continues to support the expansion of nuclear power, despite the crisis in Japan.”Nuclear supporters claim nuclear power can help the environment. Unlike fossil fuels, nuclear power doesnt create greenhouse gases. So, pro-nuclear countries argue that nuclear power allows them to genera

31、te energy without contributing to climate change. Britains chief scientific adviser (John Beddington) supports this view. He recently said that the world doesnt have the luxury of ignoring nuclear energy.Nuclear power is also relatively cheap. Renewable energy sources such as solar, hydro and wind p

32、ower may be clean, but theyre expensive; and right now, they require a lot of investment. This higher cost of using “green energy” is usually passed onto the consumer. So, while many people may prefer their energy to come from a renewable source, not so many are prepared to pay higher energy bills.

33、This is of particular concern while the world economy is in such bad shape.The main argument against nuclear energy is that it isnt safe. For a start, nuclear waste is very difficult to dispose of, and remains toxic to humans for thousands of years. And even before Fukushima, there were several high

34、-profile nuclear disasters. The most famous is probably the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, in the Ukraine. The radiation from the meltdown spread all over Europe, affecting thousands.The nuclear energy issue is very complex. And it doesnt look like itll be resolved anytime soon. As a Japanese commentator

35、recently said, “its been a bad year for the nuclear village, but I dont think theyre down and out yet.” The battle continues. 60. Which of the following may NOT be the advantage of nuclear energy over other energy sources? A. Nuclear energy doesnt produce any greenhouse gases. B. Nuclear energy can

36、help prevent the climate damage. C. Nuclear energy is more environmental-friendly than other green energy sources. D. Nuclear energy can save the consumers some money, compared to other renewable energies.61. In the 5th paragraph, the author takes the case of Chernobyl disaster in Ukraine to _.A. co

37、nvince the reader that nuclear waste is difficult to get rid of.B. explain that nuclear waste may remain harmful to humans for thousands of years.C. persuade the world not to use nuclear energy. D. support the idea that nuclear energy is not safe. 62. We can learn from the last paragraph that _. A.

38、the Japanese commentator is positive about the future of nuclear energy. B. the nuclear energy issue will be soon settled. C. a battle will break out in the future. D. Japan is considering to build a nuclear village in the future.63. What is the author's purpose of writing the passage? A. To hig

39、hlight the danger of using nuclear energy. B. To introduce some serious nuclear disasters. C. To show the argument between nuclear supporters and protesters. D. To give some advice on how to use nuclear energy safely.CSwim Birthday Parties Ages 3 and up.Pool parties are during recreation swim in the

49、e.DPollution is reducing the fragrance of plants and thus preventing bees from pollinating(授粉) themendangering one of the most essential cycles of nature, a new study suggests.The potentially hugely significant research, funded by US National Science Foundation, has found that gases mainly formed fr

50、om the emissions of car exhaust prevent flowers from attracting bees and other insects to pollinate them. And the scientists who have conducted the study fear that insects abilities to drive away enemies and attract mates may also be disturbed.Professor Jose Fuentes, who led the study, said, “Scent

51、molecules(分子) produced by flowers in a less polluted environment could travel for roughly 1,000 to 1,200 meters. But today they may travel only 200 to 300 meters. This makes it increasingly difficult for bees and other insects to locate the flowers.”The researchers, who worked on the molecules of sn

52、apdragons(金鱼草),found that the molecules are volatile(易挥发的) and quickly bond with pollutants, mainly formed from vehicle emissions. This chemically changes the molecules so that they no longer smell like flowers. A harmful cycle is therefore set up where insects struggle to get enough food and the pl

53、ants do not get pollinated enough to multiply.Already bees, which pollinate most of the worlds crops, re in such a great decline that has never been known before in Britain and across much of the globe. At least a quarter of Americas 2.5 million honey bee colonies have been mysteriously wiped out by

54、 colony collapse disorder(CCD),where hives are found suddenly deserted.The crists has now spread to Europe. Politicians insist that CCD has not yet been found in Britain, but considering the present number of bees, the agriculture minister Lord Rooker has sent the warning, “The honey bee population

55、could be wiped out in 10 years.”Although the researchers are not certain whether this is the real cause of CCD, they say that pollution is making life more difficult for bees and other insects in many ways.68. In what way does pollution prevent flowers from attracting bees? A. By shortening the dist

56、ance traveled by the scent molecules of flowers. B. By disturbing the bees ability to attract mates. C. By weakening the bees ability to fight against enemies. D. By stopping flowers from giving off fragrance.69. What harm does the decreasing number of bees do to human beings? A. It will cause humans not to get enough honey. B. It will reduce the food supplies for the world. C. Humans will have to depend on other insects to pollinate plants. D. Humans will find it hard to deal with the deserted bee hives.70. From the passage we can know that. A. Europe is affected
