            • 1． Papa，as a son of a dirt-poor farmer，left school early and went to work in a factory，for education was for the rich then．So，the world became his school．With great interest，he read everything he could lay his hands on，listened to the town elders and learned about the world beyond his tiny hometown．“There's so much to learn，“he'd say．“Though we're born stupid，only the stupid remain that way．“He was determined that none of his children would be denied （拒绝） an education．
              Thus，Papa insisted that we learn at least one new thing each day．Though，as children，we thought this was crazy，it would never have occurred to us to deny Papa a request．And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we had learned．We would talk about the news of the day； no matter how insignificant，it was never taken lightly．Papa would listen carefully and was ready with some comment，always to the point．
              Then came the moment-the time to share the day's new learning．
              Papa，at the head of the table，would push back his chair and pour a glass of red wine，ready to listen．
              “Felice，“he'd say，“tell me what you learned today．“
              “I learned that the population of Nepal is…“
              Silence．
              Papa was thinking about what was said，as if the salvation（拯救） of the world would depend upon it．“The population of Nepal．Hmm．Well…“he'd say．“Get the map； let's see where Nepal is．“And the whole family went on a search for Nepal．
              This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn．Dinner ended only after we had a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts．
              As children，we thought very little about these educational wonders．Our family，however，was growing together，sharing experiences and participating in one another's education．And by looking at us，listening to us，respecting our input，affirming（肯定） our value，giving us a sense of dignity，Papa was unquestionably our most influential teacher．
              Later during my training as a future teacher/1studied with some of the most famous educators．They were imparting（传授） what Papa had known all along-the value of continual learning．His technique has served me well all my life．Not a single day has been wasted，though I can never tell when knowing the population of Nepal might prove useful．
              60．What do we know from the first paragraph？    
              A．The author's father was born in a worker's family．
              B．Those born stupid could not change their life．
              C．The town elders wanted to learn about the world．
              D．The poor could hardly afford school education．
              61．The underlined word“it“in the second paragraph refers to“    ”．
              A．one new thing
              B．a request
              C．the news
              D．some comment

              A．enjoyed talking about news
              B．knew very well about Nepal
              C．felt regret about those wasted days
              D．appreciated his father's educational technique
              63．What is the greatest value of“dinner time“to the author？    
              A．Continual learning．
              B．Showing talents．
              C．Family get-together．
              D．Winning Papa's approval．
              64．The author's father can be best described as    ．
              A．an educator expert at training future teachers
              B．a parent insistent on his children's education
              C．a participant willing to share his knowledge

            • 2． In ancient Egypt，a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment．Modern businesses have been following his lead，with more tactics（策略）．
              One tactic involves where to display the goods．Foe example，stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section．They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food（垃圾食品）later in their trip．In department stores，section is generally next to the women’s cosmetics（化妆品） section：while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe，bored customers are likely to wander over cosmetics they might want to try later．
              Besides，businesses seek to appeal to customers’senses．Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping，they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day．Music sells goods，too．Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played，sales of French wine went up．
              When it comes to the selling of houses，businesses also use highly rewarding tactics．They find that customers make decision in the first few second upon walking in the door，and turn it into a business opportunity．A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly．When entering the house，the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows，and then the poll through an open stairway leading to the lower level．The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these $10 million houses．
              40．Why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section？
                  
              A．To save customers times．
              B．To show they are high quality foods．
              C．To help sell junk food．
              D．To sell them at discount prices．
              41．According to Paragraph 3，which of the following encourages customers to buy？    
              A．Opening the store early in the morning．
              B．Displaying British wines next to French ones．
              C．Inviting customers to play music．
              D．Filling the store with the smell of fresh bread．
              42．What is the California builder’s story intended to prove？    
              A．The house structure is a key factor customers consider．
              B．The more costly the house is，the better it sells．
              C．An ocean view is much to the customers’taste．
              D．A good first impression increases sales．
              43．What is the main purpose of the passage？    
              A．To explain how businesses turn people into their customers．
              B．To introduces how businesses have grown from the past．
              C．To report researches on customer behavior．
              D．To show dishonest business practices．

            • 3． Pup a group of strangers in a room together，and they'll probably start a conversation．“Hot today，isn't it？“one might say．“You said it．“another replies．
              Why do we talk so much about the weather？When we meet new people，we don't begin by telling them our life story．We start with small talk，a polite conversation about something like traffic or weather．
              Research suggests that small talk can build new friendships．When we begin conversations with new people，we want to feel comfortable，and so do they．We use small talk to find common interests．Once we have a common interest，a friendship can begin．
              Small talk even helps people get hired．In order to impress at a job interview，you need to bond with the interviewer right away．Proper small talk can make that first impression get you the job．
              So，how can you make small talk lead to a new friendship or job？First off，find common ground．Select something around you that you share with the other person．
              Next，keep the conversation going．Compliment （赞美） the other person to make himor her feel comfortable，and ask questions to show interest．
              Third，keep eye contact （接触）．When you look people in the eye，they feel you appreciate what they are saying．It makes you appear honest and builds trust．
              Naturally，shy people might not have enough confidence to start up conversations with strangers．Talking to someone you don't know is not the easiest thing to do!Some experts say with more practice，small talk does get easier．
              Some people avoid small talk because they dislike discussing things like traffic or weather．For them，they are just too small．However，when you think about it，small talk is anything but small．In fact，it is actually a very big deal!

            • 4． Life in the Clear
              Transparent animals let light pass through their bodies the same way light passes through a window．These animals typically live between the surface of the ocean and a depth of about 3，300feet-as far as most light can reach．Most of them are extremely delicate and can be damaged by a simple touch．Sonke Johnsen，a scientist in biology，says，“These animals live through their life alone．They never touch anything unless they’re eating it，or unless something is eating them．”
              And they are as clear as glass．How does an animal become see-through？It’s trickier than you might think．
              The objects around you are visible because they interact with light．Light typically travels in a straight line．But some materials slow and scatter（散射） light，bouncing it away from its original path．Others absorb light，stopping it dead in its tracks．Both scattering and absorption make an object look different from other objects around it，so you can see it easily．
              But a transparent object doesn’t absorb or scatter light，at least not very much，Light can pass through it without bending or stopping．That means a transparent object doesn’t look very different from the surrounding air or water．You don’t see it----you see the things behind it．
              To become transparent，an animal needs to keep its body from absorbing or scattering light．Living materials can stop light because they contain pigments（色素） that absorb specific colors of light．But a transparent animal doesn’t have pigments，so its tissues won’t absorb light．According to Johnsen，avoiding absorption is actually easy．The real challenge is preventing light from scattering．
              Animals are built of many different materials----skin，fat，and more----and light moves through each at a different speed．Every time light moves into a material with a new speed，it bends and scatters．Transparent animals use different tricks to fight scattering．Some animals are simply very small or extremely flat．Without much tissue to scatter light，it is easier to be see-through．Others build a large，clear mass of non-living jelly-lie（果冻状的）material and spread themselves over it．
              Larger transparent animals have the biggest challenge，because they have to make all the different tissues in their bodies slow down light exactly as much as water does．They need to look uniform．But how they’re doing it is still unknown．One thing is clear for these larger animals，staying transparent is an active process．When they die，they turn a non-transparent milky white．
              63．According to Paragraph 1，transparent animals    ．
              A．stay in groups
              B．can be easily damaged
              C．appear only in deep ocean
              D．are beautiful creatures
              64．The underlined word“dead”in Paragraph 3means    ．
              A．silently
              B．gradually
              C．regularly
              D．completely
              65．One way for an animal to become transparent is to    ．
              A．change the direction of light travel
              B．gather materials to scatter light．
              C．avoid the absorption of light
              D．grow bigger to stop light．
              66．The last paragraph tells us that larger transparent animals    ．
              A．move more slowly in deep water
              B．stay see-through even after death
              C．produce more tissues for their survival
              D．take effective action to reduce light spreading．

            • 5． Recordings of angry bees are enough to send big，tough African elephants running away，a new study says．Beehives （蜂窝）-either recorded or real-may even prevent elephants from damaging farmer's crops．
              In 2002，scientist Lucy King and her team found that elephants avoid certain trees with bees living in them．Today，Lucy wants to see if African honeybees might discourage elephants from eating crops．But before she asked farmer to go to the trouble of setting up beehives on their farms，she needed to find out if the bees would scare elephants away．
              Lucy found a wild beehive inside a tree in northern Kenya and set up a recorder．Then she threw a stone into the beehive，which burst into life．Lucy and her assistant hid in their car until the angry bees had calmed down．Next，Lucy searched out elephant families in Samburu National Reserve in northern Kenya and put a speaker in a close to each family．
              From a distance，Lucy switched on the pre-recorded sound of angry bees while at the same time recording the elephants with a video camera．Half the elephant groups left the area within ten seconds．Out of a total of 17groups，only one group ignored the sound of the angry bees．Lucy reported that all the young elephants immediately ran to their mothers to hide under them．When Lucy Played the sound of a waterfall （瀑布） instead of the angry bees to many of the same elephant families，the animals were undisturbed．Even after four minutes，most of the groups stayed in one place．
              Lucy is now studying whether the elephants will continue to avoid the sound of angry bees after hearing it several times．She hasn't tested enough groups yet to know，but her initial （最初的） results were promising enough to begin trials with farmers．She has now begun placing speakers in the fields to see if elephants are frightened away．

              60．We know from the passage that elephants may he frightened of    ．
              A．loud noises    B．some crops
              C．video cameras   D．angry bees
              61．As mentioned in the passage，Lucy    
              A．works by herself in Africa
              B．needs to test more elephant groups
              C．has stopped elephants eating crops
              D．has got farmers to set up beehives on their farms
              62．Why did Lucy throw a stone into a wild beehive？    
              A．To record the sound of bees．
              B．To make a video of elephants．
              C．To see if elephants would run away．
              D．To find out more about the behavior of bees．
              63．Which of the following is true according to the passage？    
              A．Young elephants ignore African honeybees．
              B．Waterfalls can make elephants stay in one place．
              C．Elephants do not go near trees with bees living in them．
              D．Farmers do not allow Lucy to conduct tests in their fields．

            • 6． Before I had my son，I spent two years working with children with disabilities．I learned that shouting and threats of punishment would result in a disaster．Coming up against their behaviour could only make the job harder and their behaviour more extreme．I found something that worked，though．
              There was a very naughty boy in the nursery and a teacher who was generally very confident with the children was asked to take charge of him．One day the boy joined a session in the room next to mine．His appearance created an atmosphere of tension．He spent the entire session running around，hitting and kicking，and destroying property．
              I was in the craft room working with some other children when my co-worker told me that this boy’s teacher was in tears，and could not get control of the situation．As we were talking，the boy ran in．I told my co-worker that I would take care of him．
              I closed the door．He was full of energy，throwing things around and making a huge mess．But I could see that he was doing all these to annoy me．He needed connection，and this was the only way he knew how to ask for it．So I sat back down and kept quiet．Then he slowed down and began making a rocket．I talked to him about it．We continued like this for a few minutes before I slipped into the conversation：
              “So what happened today？”
              It was purely a question，no blame or anger in my tone．I believe that if I had criticized him，the gate that was slowly opening would have shut firmly closed．He told me that the teacher didn’t let him do what he knew well due to safety but asked him to do what he disliked．He also admitted that he had enjoyed making her run around and saw it as a game．I explained that his teacher had not seen it as a game and was very upset．This again was stated simply as a fact．I suggested that next time he had a session，he talk about what he hoped to do at the start，which might be easier for everyone．He agreed and was quiet for a moment．Then he looked at me with tears in his eyes before quietly asking if he could go to find his teacher to apologize．

              51．The boy made trouble for his teacher because he    ．
              A．was accused of destroying property
              B．was told not to yell at other children
              C．was made to do things against his will
              D．was blamed for creating an air of tension

            • 7． While Jennifer was at home taking an online exam for her business law class，a monitor （监控器） a few hundred miles away was watching her every move．
              Using a web camera equipped in Jennifer’s Los Angeles apartment，the monitor in Phoenix tracked how frequently her eyes moved from the computer screen and listened for the secret sounds of a possible helper in the room．Her Internet access was locked-remotely-to prevent Internet searches，and her typing style was analyzed to make sure she was who she said she was：Did she enter her student number at the same speed as she had in the past？Or was she slowing down？
              In the battle against cheating，this is the cutting edge and a key to encourage honesty in the booming field of online education．The technology gives trust to the entire system，to the institution and to online education in general．Only with solid measures against cheating，experts say，can Internet universities show that their exams and diplomas are valid-that students haven’t just searched the Internet to get the right answers．
              Although online classes have existed for more than a decade，the concern over cheating has become sharper in the last year with the growth of“open online courses．”Private colleges，public universities and corporations are jumping into the online education field，spending millions of dollars to attract potential students，while also taking steps to help guarantee honesty at a distance．
              Aside from the web cameras，a number of other high-tech methods are becoming increasingly popular．Among them are programs that check students’identities using personal information，such as the telephone numbers they once used．
              Other programs can produce unique exams by drawing on a large list of questions and can recognize possible cheaters by analyzing whether difficult test questions are answered at the same speed as easy ones．As in many university classes，term papers are scanned against some large Internet data banks for cheating．
              41．Why was Jennifer watched in an online exam？    
              A．To correct her typing mistakes．
              B．To find her secrets in the room．
              C．To prevent her from slowing down．
              D．To keep her from dishonest behaviors．
              42．The underlined expression cutting edge in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to    
              A．advanced technique           
              B．sharpening tool              
              C．effective rule           
              D．dividing line
              43．For Internet universities，exams and diplomas will be valid if    
              A．they can attract potential students                          
              B．they can defeat academic cheating
              C．they offer students online help                               
              D．they offer many online courses
              44．Some programs can find out possible cheaters by    
              A．checking the question answering speed                  
              B．producing a large number of questions
              C．scanning the Internet test questions                        
              D．giving difficult test questions

            • 8． Barditch High School decided to an All-School Reunion．Over 450 people came to the event．There were tours of the old school building and a picnic at Confederate Park．Several former teachers were on hands to tell stories about the old days．Ms．Mabel Yates，the English teacher for fifty years，was wheeled to the Park．
              Some eyes rolled and there were a few low groans（嘟囔声）when Ms．Yates was about to speak．Many started looking at their watches and coming up with excuses to be anywhere instead of preparing to listen to a lecture from and old woman who had few kind words for her students and made them work harder than all the other teachers combined．
              Then Ms．Yates started to speak：
              “I can’t tell you how pleased I am to be here．I haven’t seen many of you since your graduation，but I have followed your careers and enjoyed your victories as well as crying for your tragedies．I have a large collection of newspaper photographs of my students．Although I haven’t appeared in person，I have attended your college graduations，weddings and even the birth your children，in my imagination．”
              Ms．Yates paused and started crying a bit．Then she continued：
              “It was my belief that if I pushed you as hard as I could，some of you would succeed to please me and others would succeed to annoy me．Regardless of our motives，I can see that you have all been successful in you chosen path．”
              “There is no greater comfort for an educator than to see the end result of his or her years of work．You have all been a great source of pleasure and pride for me and I want you to know I love you all from the bottom of my heart．”
              There was a silence over the crowd for a few seconds and then someone started clapping．Tee clapping turned into cheering，then into a deafening roar（呼喊）．Lawyers，truck drivers，bankers and models were rubbing their eyes or crying openly with no shame all because of the words from a long forgotten English teacher from their hometown．

              41．What activity was organized for the school reunion？    ．
              A．Sightseeing in the park．

              D．Graduates’reports in the old building．
              42．What can be inferred from Paragraph 2？    ．
              A．Some graduates were too busy to listen to Ms．Yates’speech．
              B．Many graduates disliked Ms．Yates’ways of teaching．
              C．Some people got tired from the reunion activities．
              D．Most people had little interest in the reunion．
              43．We can learn from Ms．Yates’speech that she    ．
              A．kept track of her students’progress
              B．gave her students advice on their careers
              C．attended her students’college graduations
              D．went to her students’wedding ceremonies．
              44．What was Ms．Yates’belief in teaching teenagers？    ．
              A．Teachers’knowledge is the key to students’achievements．

            • 9． Do you know how it is when you see someone yawn and you start yawning too？Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself？Well，apparently it's because we have mirror neurons （神经元）in our brains．
              Put simply，the existence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something，our brains imitate （模仿）it，whether or not we actually perform the same action．This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile，talk，walk，dance or play sports．But the idea goes further：mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions，they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people．
              Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains，but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages，and to understand how other people feel．Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language．A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to （for example：“The hand took hold of the ball“），the same mirror neurons were triggered as when the action was actually performed （in this example，actually taking hold of a ball）．
              Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior．Much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning．However，it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders．
              Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information concerning how humans behave and interact（互动）．Indeed，it may turn out to be the equivalent （相等物）for neuroscience of what Einstein's theory of relativity was for physics．And the next time you feel the urge to cough in the cinema when someone else does-well，perhaps you'll understand why．

              67．Mirror neurons can explain    ．
              A．why we cry when we are hurt
              B．why we cough when we suffer from a cold
              C．why we smile when we see someone else smile
              D．why we yawn when we see someone else stay up late
              68．The underlined word“triggered“in the third paragraph probably means“    ”．
              A．set off       B．cut off
              C．built up      D．broken up
              69．We can learn from the passage that mirror neurons    ．
              A．relate to human behavior and interaction
              B．control human physical actions and feelings
              C．result in bad behavior and social disorders
              D．determine our knowledge and language abilities
