His two guests heard a chest of drawers opening and a rustling.They 17 sitting in the living-room, the 10-year-old daughter looking at the flowers outside the window. The father was just a
10、bout to take his cup when the 18 came, right there in the living room. Something was 19 broken.It was the thermos, which had fallen to the floor. The girl looked 20 her shoulder at once, startled, staring. It was 21 . Neither of them had touched it, not even a little bit. The sound caused the host t
11、o rush back from the inner room. He looked at the 22 floor and blurted out, “It doesnt matter! It doesnt matter!”The father started to say something. Then he muttered, “Sorry, I 23 it and it fell.”“It doesnt matter,” the host said.Later, when they left the house, the daughter said, “Daddy, I saw you

After work, he puts on his headphones, watches a movie on his home video recorder, or plays baseball on the co
17、mputer. On many days, Michael doesnt talk to any other human beings, and he doesnt see any people except the ones on television. Michael is imaginary, but his lifestyle is very possible. The inventions of modern technology seem to be cutting us off from contact with our fellow human beings. The worl
18、d of business is one area in which technology is isolating us. With access to a large central computer, employees such as office clerks, insurance agents, and accountants can do their jobs at display terminals in their own homes. They never have to actually see the people theyre dealing with. In add
19、ition, the way employees are paid is changing. Workers salaries will be automatically paid into their bank accounts, making paper checks unnecessary. No workers will stand in line to receive their pay or cash their checks. Personal banking is changing, too. Customers will deal with machines to put i
20、n or take out money from their accounts. Another area that technology is changing is entertainment. Music, for instance, was once a group experience. People listened to music at concert halls or in small social gatherings. For many people now, however, music is an individual experience. Walking alon
21、g the street or sitting in their living rooms, they wear headphones to build a wall of music around them. Movie entertainment is changing, too. Movies used to be social events. Now, fewer people are going out to see a movie. Many more are choosing to wait for a film to appear on television or on the
22、 Internet. Instead of laughing with others, viewers watch movies in their own living rooms.31. What is Michael in the writers pen?A. He is the man in the moon.B. He is a person full of imagination.C. He is a real typical American.D. He is a man who has lofty ambitions.32. What does the underlined wo
23、rd “isolating”(in Para.2) mean?A. 变化B. 隔离C. 消灭D. 拯救33. What will the writer most probably discuss after the last paragraph?A. Sports and games. B. Personal banking .C. Music and films. D. International business.BI teach geography at UNLV three times per week. Last Monday, at the beginning of class,
24、I cheerfully asked my students how their weekend had been. One young man said that his weekend had not been so good. He had his wisdom teeth removed. The young man then asked me why I always seemed to be so cheerful. “I choose to be cheerful.” I said. Then I told them a story.In addition to teaching
25、 here at UNLV, I also teach out at thecommunity collegein Henderson, 17 miles down thefreewayfrom where I live. One day I drove those 17 miles to Henderson. I exited the freeway and turned onto College Drive. I only had to drive another quarter mile down the road to the college. But just then my car
26、 died and wouldnt start again. So I left my car there and marched down the road to the college. As soon as I got there I called AAA and arranged for a tow truck to meet me at my car after class. The secretary in the office asked me what had happened. “This is my lucky day.” I replied, smiling. “Your
27、 car breaks down and today is your lucky day?” She was puzzled. “What do you mean?”“My car could have broken down anywhere along the freeway but it didnt.” I replied, “Instead, it broke down in the perfect place: off the freeway, within walking distance from here. Im still able to teach my class, an
28、d Ive been able to arrange for the tow truck to meet me after class.” The secretarys eyes opened wide, and then she smiled. I smiled back and headed for class. So ended my story.I scanned the sixty faces in my class at UNLV. Despite the early hour, no one seemed to be asleep. Somehow, my story had t
29、ouched them. Or maybe it wasnt the story at all. In fact, it had all started with a students observation that I was cheerful. An Indian wise man once said, “Who you are speaks louder to me than anything you can say.” I suppose it must be so.34. Why did the writer tell his students the story?A. To sh
30、are his lucky experience.B. To make his class more lively.C. To draw all students attention.D. To encourage his students to be positive.35. What happened to the writer on his way to the community college?A. He parked his car in a perfect place. B. He called AAA for a tow truck to meet him.C. He cove
31、red the last quarter mile on foot.D. He drove off the freeway at a wrong exit.36. By saying “it wasnt the story at all”, the writer means that _.A. his story is not convincingB. he shouldnt have told the storyC. his attitude to life has inspired the studentsD. his story is not as interesting as expe
32、cted37. What can be concluded from the passage?A. Its easier said than done.B. You are what you choose. C. Well begun is half done. D. Behind bad luck comes good luck.CMy heart sank when the man at the immigration counter gestured to the back room. I was born and raised in America, and this was Miam
33、i, where I live, but they werent quite ready to let me in yet.“Please wait in here, Ms. Abdullah,” the immigration officer said. My husband, with his very American last name, accompanied me. He was getting used to this. The same thing had happened recently in Canada when Id flown to Montreal to make
34、 a speech at a book-signing event. That time they detained (扣押) me for 45 minutes. Today we were returning from a literary festival in Jamaica, and I was shocked that I was being sent “in back” once again.The officer behind the counter called me up and said, “Miss, your name looks like the name of s
35、omeone whos on our wanted list. Were going to have to check you out with Washington.”“How long will it take?”“Hard to saya few minutes,” he said, “Well call you when were ready for you.” After an hour, Washington still hadnt decided anything about me. “Isnt this computerized?” I asked at the counter
36、, “Cant you just look me up?” “Just a few more minutes,” they assured me.After an hour and a half, I pulled my cell phone out to call the friends I was supposed to meet that evening. An officer rushed over. “No phones!” he said, “For all we know you could be calling a terrorist cell and giving them
37、information.”“Im just a university professor,” I said. My voice came out in a squeak.“Of course you are. And we take people like you out of here in leg irons every day.”I put my phone away.My husband and I were getting hungry and tired. Whole families had been brought into the waiting room, and the
38、place was packed with excitable children, exhausted parents, and even a flight attendant.I wanted to scream, to jump on a chair and shout: “Im an American citizen; a novelist; I probably teach English literature to your children.”After two hours in detention, I was approached by one of the officers.
39、 “Youre free to go,” he said. No explanation or apologies. For a moment, neither of us moved. We were still in shock. Then we leaped to our feet.“Oh, one more thing,” he handed me a tattered photocopy with an address on it, “If you arent happy with your treatment, you can write to this agency.”“Will
40、 they respond?” I asked.“I dont knowI dont know of anyone whos ever written to them before.” Then he added, “By the way, this will probably keep happening each time you travel internationally.”“What can I do to keep it from happening again?”He smiled the empty smile wed seen all day, “Absolutely not
41、hing.”After telling several friends about our trying experience, probably the most frequent advice Ive heard in response is to change my name. But a name is an integral part of anyones personal and professional identityjust like the town youre born in and the place where youre raised.Like my father,
42、 Ill keep the name, but my airport experience has given me a whole new view on what diversity and tolerance are supposed to mean. I had no idea that being an American would ever be this hard.38. The writer was detained at the airport because _. A. her name was on the wanted listB. she had broken the
43、 law in Canada C. her name was similar to a terrorists D. she was born and raised in America39. The officer stopped the writer using her cell phone because _. A. she attempted to communicate with a terroristB. they hadnt checked her out with Washington yet C. there were other families in the waiting
44、 room D. it was dangerous to use a cell phone at the airport40. The writer would most probably _ to prevent similar experience from happening again.A. avoid traveling abroad B. change her name C. write to a certain agency D. do nothing specialDTHE GOLDEN WINDOWSby Laura E. RichardsAll day long the l
45、ittle boy had worked hard, in the field and barn and shed, for his parents were poor farmers, and could not pay a workman. But at sunset there came an hour that was all his own, for his father had given it to him. Then the boy would go up to the top of a hill and look across at another hill that ros
46、e some miles away. On that far hill stood a house with windows of clear gold and diamonds. They shone so brightly that it made the boy squint at them, but after a while the people in the house put up shutters, as it seemed, and then it looked like any common farmhouse. The boy supposed they did this
47、 because it was suppertime; and then he would go into the house and have his supper of bread and milk, and go to bed. One day the boys father called him and said: You have been a good boy, and have earned a holiday. Take this day for your own, and try to learn some good things. The boy thanked his f
48、ather and kissed his mother. Then he put a piece of bread in his pocket, and started off to find the house with the golden windows. It was a pleasant walk. His bare feet made marks in the white dust, and when he looked back, the footprints seemed to be following him, and keeping him company. His sha
49、dow, too, kept beside him, and would dance or run with him as he pleased; so it was very cheerful. By and by he felt hungry, and he sat down by a brown stream that ran through the alder hedge by the roadside, ate his bread, and drank the clear water. Then he scattered the small pieces of bread for t
50、he birds as his mother had taught him to do, and went on his way. After a long time he came to a high green hill, and when he had climbed the hill, there was the house on the top. But it seemed that the shutters were up, for he could not see the golden windows. He came up to the house, and then he c
51、ould well have wept, for the windows were of clear glass, like any others, and there was no gold anywhere about them. A woman came to the door, looked kindly at the boy, and asked him what he wanted. I saw the golden windows from our hilltop, he said, and I came to see them, but now they are only of
52、 clear glass. The woman shook her head and laughed. We are poor farmers, she said, and are not likely to have gold about our windows. But glass is better to see through. She let the boy sit down on the broad stone step at the door, and brought him a cup of milk and a cake, and asked him to take a br
53、eak. Then she called her daughter, a child of his own age, nodded kindly at the two, and went back to her work. The little girl was barefooted like him, and wore a brown cotton dress, but her hair was golden like the windows he had seen, and her eyes were blue like the sky at noon. She showed the bo
54、y about the farm, and showed him her black calf with a white star on its forehead, and he told her about his own at home, which was red like a chestnut with four white feet. They became friends after they ate an apple together. However, when the boy asked her about the golden windows, the little gir
55、l nodded, and said she knew all about them; only he had mistaken the house. You have come quite the wrong way! she said. Come with me, and I will show you the house with the golden windows, and then you will see for yourself. They went to a knoll that rose behind the farmhouse, and the little girl t
56、old him that the golden windows could only be seen at a certain hour, about sunset. Yes, I know that! said the boy. When they reached the top of the knoll, the girl turned and pointed;there on a hill far away stood a house with windows of clear gold and diamond, just as he had seen them. And when th
57、ey looked again, the boy saw that it was his own home. Then he told the little girl that he must go. He gave her his best pebble, the white one with the red band, that he had carried for a year in his pocket, and she gave him three horse-chestnuts, one red like satin, one spotted, and one white like
58、 milk. He promised to come again, but he did not tell her what he had learned. He went back down the hill, and the little girl stood in the sunset light and watched him away. The way home was long, and it was dark before the boy reached his house, but the lamplight and firelight shone through the wi
59、ndows, making them almost as bright as he had seen them from the hilltop. When he opened the door, his mother came to kiss him, and his little sister ran to throw her arms about his neck, and his father looked up and smiled from his seat by the fire. Have you had a good day? asked his mother. Yes, t
60、he boy had had a very good day. And have you learned anything? asked his father. Yes! said the boy. I have learned that our house has windows of gold and diamond. 41. What does the underlined sentence (in Paragraph 1) mean?AThe boy had an hour in which to complete his tasks.BThe boy spent only an ho
