8、y wasn't much of a fruit-eater, _36_ a bar of chocolate if given the choice, _37_, as they say, the forbidden fruit can be tempting. Seeing the apple, the boy wanted it. Themore he looked at it, the _38_ he felt and the more he wanted that apple.        He stoo

25、rsity, but my mother fought strongly againsnst it. When she saw me studying a photograph of my father on the sports ground of Cornell, she tore it up.  "You can't say it's not a great university, just because Papa went there.""That's not it at all. And it is a to

26、p university." She was still holding the pieces in her hand. "But we can't afford to send you to college."  "I wouldn't dream of asking you for money. Do you want me to get a job to help support you and Papa? Things aren't that bad, are they?""No,&

27、quot; she said. "I don't expect you to help support us." Father borrowed money form his rich cousins to start a small jewellery shop. His chief customers were his old college friends. To get new customers, my mother had to help. She picked up a long-forgotten membership in the local le

28、ague of women, so that she could get to know more people. Whether those people would turn into customers was another question. I knew that my parents had to wait for quite a long time before their small investment (投资) could show returns. What's more, they had not wanted enough to be rich and su

29、ccessful; otherwise they could not possibly have managed their lives so badly.   I was torn between the desire to help them and change their lives, and the determination not to repeat their mistakes. I had a strong belief in my power to go what I wanted. After months of hard study I won a

30、full college scholarship (奖学金). My father could hardly contain his pride in me, and my mother eventually gave in before my success.56. The author was not allowed to go to Cornell University mainly because _.A. his father graduated from the universityB. his mother did not thinks it a great university

31、C. his parents needed him to help support the familyD. his parents did not have enough money for him57. The father started his small shop with the money from _.A. a local league         B. his university C. his relatives      

32、;  D. his college friends58. Why did the mother renew her membership in the league?A. To help with her husband's business   B. To raise money for her sonC. To meet her long-forgotten friends     D. To better manage her life59. According to the text, what w

33、as the author determined to do in that autumn?A. To get a well-paid job for himself B. To improve relations with his motherC. To go to his dream university D. To carry on with his father's business BSince the economy crisis is most likely over, it,s time to start looking at which companies, inst

34、itutions, and individuals developed well during this unpleasant period. In the downturn that began in December 2007, the recession（经济衰退） ruined the wealthiest consumer marketsthe united States, Europe, Japanthere were very few safe shelters. But some countries, such as Peru, managed to grow right th

35、rough the global recession. And some companies arranged their business so that they resisted the contraction and benefited from the trends affecting their industry. Some even managed to bring more business.Chief among the Great Recessions winners is McDonald,s. McDonald,s sales growth in 2008 was gr

36、eater than in 2006 and 2007. While many restaurants reduced their business operation, it opened nearly 600 stores in 2008. And the chain has achieved same-store sales growth in each of 2009,s first seven months.In 2008, after a decade of severely trading up to higher quality consumer goods and servi

37、ces, Americans began to trade down with a vengeance（报复）. McDonald,s, which has 44 percent of its 32,000 stores in the United States, was set up to profit from trading down in two ways. First, in a recession, people eat out less and at home more frequently. And when they eat out, they eat at cheaper

38、places. McDonald,s is so cheap, efficient, and convenient that it was a practical alternative to casual restaurants like Ruby Tuesday.In the United States, McDonald,s may be a cheap source of calories in food. In other parts of the world, McDonald,s is an appealing brand, identified with middle-clas

39、s, westernized consumerism. Much of the world, such as China, India, is still not developed for the Golden Arches. Coincidentally（巧合）, these are the right places where its business has continued to grow during the global recession. While it faces operational challenges in markets, McDonald,s has ben

40、efited form a weakening dollar and rising incomes in Asia.The question now for investors（投资者）is whether McDonald,s can survive the recovery. When people feel better-off, will they still stop by? The growth in same-store sales in the United States has come down a little in recent months. And there,s

41、a rising amount of the population that has grown accustomed to eating healthier and better. Going forward, McDonald,s may face larger cultural barriers in the United States than in China.60From the passage we can infer that      in the recession. Athe developing countries gr

46、w 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 tal

47、k 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

48、 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 wa

49、s 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 poliLINE-Hceman, looking at

50、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

51、you like down this hill. There isnt another policeman on this road for a mile and a half. ”64The policemen were told “to look the other way” (the underlined part in Paragraph 2) so that_.A. they could watch the car coming from the other directionB. the car could go faster than four miles an hourC. t

52、hey could make sure no one was in the wayD. the car would not hit them on the road6.5. In 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

53、 else.D. They stood on duty every 1. 5 miles along the road.66. The policeman who said “Good evening” to Rolls wanted to _.A. teach Rolls a lesson                       B. take a free ride h

54、omeC. have a talk with Rolls                     D. have a car ride experience67. After the policeman jumped into the car, Rolls _.A. dared not drive the car faster than he was allowed toB. could driv

55、e 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 Cambridge DIf English means endless new words and difficult grammar, you are wrong. Havent you noticed that you have become more smarte

56、r since you started to learn a language?According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter (中枢神经系统的灰质). This is the area of the brain which processes information

57、. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.The study also found the earlier people learn a second language, the greater the effect.A team of experts from London took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” (能说两种语言的人) who had learn

58、t a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.Scans showed that grey matter density (密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference. “O

59、ur findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists. It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn. Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Walse has researched the link between bilingualism

60、and math skills.”Having two languages dives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible(灵活的)”。 He said”You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.“The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English

61、 as a second language between the ages of 2 and 34. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.68 What does the underlined word

62、“ grey matter” (in Paragraph 2)refer to ?A.grey hair B.material of the brain C.intelligence D.difficult situations69. The experience of learning a second language can_.A.change ones brain completely B.improve ones maths skillsC.make one smarter than others D.increase the ability to learn.70. We can learn from the pass
