I we

His face was pale, andhe stared at his feet while wringing （扭） his hands nervously. He had 38 his father as ababy, and had lived with his mother and grandfather ever since. B

17、ut the year before he turned 13,his grandfather and mother were killed in a car accident.I looked at Tim. He was very 39 and depressed （in low spirits）. He refused to talk tome. The first two times we 40 , Tim only sat hunched up （蜷缩） in the chair without saying a word. As he was about to leave afte

18、r the second visit, I put my hand on his shoulder. He didnt 41 back, but he didnt look at me either.Come back next week, if you like, I said. I 42 a bit. Then I said, I know it hurts. He came, and I _43_ we play chess. He nodded. After that we played chess every Wednesday afternoonin 44 and without

19、making any eye contact. Its not easy for me to _45_ in chess, but I admit that I made sure Tim won once or twice.Usually, he arrived earlier, took the chessboard and pieces and set them up before I even gota（n） 46 to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my 47 . But why did he 48 look atme?Perhaps he

20、 simply needs someone to share his 49 with, I thought.One afternoon, Tim took off his raincoat and put it on the back of the chair. While he was setting up the chess pieces, his face seemed more 50 and his motions more lively. Some months later, I sat staring at Tims head, 51 he was bent over the ch

But in recent years, scientists h

25、ave been documenting surprising intelligence and emotional depth in animals ranging from honeybees to elephants. Here are some amazing examples.Artistic Monkey Business Janet Schmid, director of the Little River Zoo in Norman, Oklahoma, learned a lot about the intelligence of capuchin monkeys. She a

26、nd her husband adopted a young male, named Bailey. The capuchin particularly liked taking car rides, insisting that he insert the key and ride in the front passengers seat. Now Bailey has become a devoted painter. He uses brushes to create colorful, abstract paintings, and prefers not to be disturbe

27、d.Prairie Dog SoundThrough a variety of birdlike sounds, prairie dogs warn each other of approaching creatures. They demonstrate a surprisingly complex communication system. In his 25 years of study, Slobodchikoff, a professor of biology, has recorded them pronouncing ten nouns including hawk, deer

28、and coyote, a number of adjectives to identify color, size and shape, and even some verbs to indicate speed.In an ongoing study, Slobodchikoff learns that their brain contains a very extensive vocabulary. He once used his best prairie dog sound to say coyote, and they just looked at him in anger as

29、if he had said a bad word. One African grey parrot Alex is said to have the cognitive Ivy League Parrotabilities of a five-year-old child. Alex can identify 50 different objects, seven colors, five shapes, quantities up to six, and the concepts of bigger, smaller, same and different. Also Alex is co

30、nsidered to make reasoned decisions. During an experiment, researchers gave Alex different-colored blocks in sets of two, three and six. When asked which color group had five blocks, Alex replied, “None. ”And he answered the same in repeated tests. Obviously, he interpreted the concept of “none” as

31、an absence of quantity all on his own. Thats a lot like a high school student answering questions on a quiz show. 56Which of the following is true?ABailey is as clever as a child of five.BThe prairie dog loves taking car rides.CThe capuchin monkey is fond of painting.DAlex develops a communication s

32、ystem.57The underlined word “coyote” in Paragraph 4 refers to .Aa verbBan animalCa warningDan adjective58The African grey parrot Alex can .Aanswer questions on a quiz showBunderstand the figure “7”Cidentify five colors and seven shapesDapply the concept of “none” correctly59What is the passage mainl

33、y about?AAnimal communicationBAnimal researchCAnimal intelligenceDAnimal informationBWhen someone gives you advice, listen without judgment, try to find value in what youre hearing, and say : “Thank you”. This wise advice is easy to understand yet hard to practice. Ill give you an example from my li

34、fe when I totally blew it in terms of practicing what I teach. In my work I travel constantly. I always put off going to the airport until the last second. My wife, Lyda, was sitting next to me in the front seat. I was racing along and not paying much attention. Lyda cried out!” Look out! There is a

35、 red light up ahead. ”Being a trained behavioral science professionalwho teaches others the value of encouraging adviceI naturally screamed at her: “I know there is a red light up ahead! Dont you think I can see?” When we arrived at the airport, Lyda didnt speak to me. I wondered why she seemed mad

36、at me. During the flight to New York, I did a cost-benefit analysis. I asked myself: “What was the cost of just listening when Lyda called out the warning? Zero.” I then reasoned: “What was the potential benefit? What could have been saved?” Several potential benefits came to mind, including her lif

37、e, my life, and the lives of other people. 20090507I landed in New York feeling ashamed of myself. I immediately called Lyda and told her my cost-benefit story. I convinced her: “The next time you help me with my driving, I am just going to say, Thank you.”A few months passed, and I had long forgott

38、en the incident. Again, I was racing off to the airport, when Lyda cried out: “Look out for the red light!” I was embarrassed, and then shouted: “Thank you!”Im a long way from perfect, but Im getting better. My suggestion is that you get in the habit of asking the important people in your life how y

39、ou can do things better. And be ready for an answer. Some people may tell you things like “Look out for the red light.” When this happens, remember that there is possibly some potential benefit. Then just say: “Thank you.” 60What do we know about the author?AHe is expert at behavioral science.BHe is

40、 gifted in cost-benefit analysis.CHe seldom takes his wifes advice.DHe often runs the red traffic light.61The underlined part “blew it” in Paragraph 1 probably means “ ”.Abecame annoyed with the adviserBforgot the practical methodCfailed to say “Thank you”Dlost personal judgment62It can be inferred

41、from the passage that people .Atend to be defensive when given adviceBintend to follow others suggestionsChad better study behavioral scienceDshould give their opinions patiently63The purpose of the passage is to advise people to .Ado a cost-benefit analysis in daily life Btreasure others suggestion

42、sClearn from the authors experiences Ddiscover potential benefitsCLast week, we explained that the planet Mars has passed “opposition. ”It passed a point opposite the Sun. This week, we tell about the planets surprising motion(运动)among the stars. For thousands of years, people have recognized that p

43、lanets travel among the stars. The planets generally follow the path taken by the Sun through the sky. The Suns path is called the ecliptic. The groups of stars along the ecliptic are called the Zodiac. The motion of the planets can be confusing at times. Everyone knows the Sun rises in the east and

44、 sets in the west. But this is caused by the turning motion of the Earth. Planets generally move from west to east. However, Mars will appear to move backward for about two months this year. This happens because the Earth is overtaking Mars on its way around the Sun. Mars began its backward, or west

45、ward, motion on May 11th, It will start moving eastward again on July 19th. Mars apparent motion has been a mystery to astronomers for hundreds of years. Most early theories of the solar system argued that the Sun and planets turned around the Earth. But the sudden westward motion of Mars presented

46、a problem. Why would Mars move west for two months when it nears “opposition”?In 1543, a Polish church worker named Nicolas Copernicus published a different theory. His theory said the Earth and planets moved around the Sun in perfectly circular orbits. Copernicus theory was simpler. But his Sun cen

47、tered system still did not explain the observed motion of Mars very well.Finally, a German mathematician named Johannes Kepler published a complete theory of the motion of the planets in 1619. He had carefully studied the motion of Mars for many years.Johannes Kepler discovered that the planets do n

48、ot move in circular orbits around the sun. Instead, they travel in flattened orbits called ellipses. Mars elliptical orbit is the cause of its unusual brightening this year and its apparent large size.During the next several weeks, you can see for yourself why the mysterious motion of Mars has cause

49、d so many people to wonder.64From the passage we can learn that .Athe sun and planets generally travel westwardBKepler studied the orbit of the planets in 1619CCopernicus theory well explained the motion of MarsDthe Earths turning motion causes the sun to rise in the east65On July 19th Mars .Awill p

50、ass the “opposition”Bappears to change its direction againCwill begin to move westwardDappears to change its orbit again66Why does Mars appear to be bigger and brighter when it passes “opposition”?AIt is overtaking the earth.BIt follows the path of the sun.CIt moves in an elliptical orbit.DIt travel

51、s in a circular orbit.67What is the best title for the passage?AThe Recent Research into Mars BThe Surprising Motion of MarsCThe Great Discovery on Mars DThe Wonderful Mystery of Mars D Alone in the wilderness. Nothing but jungle. A world of shadow with the rays of light fallinglike blonde hair from

52、 the crowns of the giant trees. Jungle in the midday sun. Everything motionless. Not a sound from sky or earth. Complete silence. Only some coconuts falling, at longintervals, very far away. The world reduced to the soft touch of cool grass along my naked back, and a sweet smell of rich soil and veg

53、etation. Stretched out with closed eyes beside my heavy burden of fruit and firewood, I enjoyed the feeling of fresh blood streaming through every part of my body and fresh jungle air filling every corner of my lungs. Resting motionless, I could see the sun through my closed eyelids, alone in the sk

54、y, as lonelyas I, and as motionless and silent as everything else. The earth had surely stopped turning and somewhere on this planet there was supposed to be roaring traffic in busy streets. What a crazy, unbelievable thought!Another coconut fell, to make the world come to a complete standstill. I had to roll over onto my stomach to feel that at least I could move and make noises. Then I found company. A little brown ant was struggling to find its way with a bit of dry straw through the ju
