40、elopment.C. It is intended to strengthen partnerships with all countries across the world.D. It is willing to provide opportunities to whoever shows interest in the post.BIn 1946, Will Thomas decided he did not wish to live in his native land any longer and that he would take his wife and children t

41、o Haiti, where as Negroes in a Negro republic, they would be free of racial prejudice and their opportunities would be limited only by their ability to use them.He does not believe he need detail the reasons behind this unhappy decision, except to say that being considered and treated as an inferior

42、 on every level of life can become intolerable, especially when it is by ones race rather than his individual worth that he is prejudgedand condemned.When he reached this point, he had become an unbeliever in both God and country, for it seemed to him that racial segregation and all that it implied

43、was as rigid on the spiritual as on the ordinary practical life. And so finally he made the decision to leave his native landpermanently.Love of country, Thomas found, can be very deep, very strong. So he thought to make one final try in his motherland for the equality of status which he considered

44、he had been denied; and he chose Vermont for the experiment. Thomas reasoned that because of its great traditions of personal freedom there was at least a chance that he and his family might find there what they so yearned for, and they did. In the small farming community where they settled, they we

45、re accepted on a basis of individuality unqualified by race.However, it is not that which now seems most important to him. It is, rather, that in such a friendly atmosphere, and amid the quiet of a beautiful countryside, it was possible to think calmly, and gradually to gain understandings by which

46、Thomas believes he can live in peace with other men, and with himself, for the rest of his life.One of these understandings is that unless one seeks sincerely for whatever it is he most wants, he surely will not find it, and that what he really had been seeking most of his life was not what he wante

47、d but instead was justification for the resentments he felt. This is not to say there was not cause for those resentments, but rather that he had so concentrated upon them he could not see that the picture was not all badthat in fact, there was considerable good in it.Thomas had condemned his countr

48、y and his religion because he viewed only what seemed wrong in both. But when he was able to remove the blinds of his own prejudice, it became clear that these failures, these flaws in church and state, were human failures, human flaws, and not mere selfwilled bigotry; and that within each there wer

49、e, and there always had been, many who had worked and fought for what was right.Thomas thinks the core of his earlier bitterness had been the conviction that he had been denied his birthright of human dignity. But he knows now that is something which cannot be given or taken away by man.It has been

50、written that he who seeks shall find, and that to him who asks, it shall be given. And he can only testify that when he did seek, he did find; and that when he asked, it was given to him. And he knows that only the God he once denied could bestow such precious gifts.()58. What made Will Thomas decid

51、e to escape his native land in 1946?A. Disappointment with God. B. Equality in a Negro republic.C. Racial discrimination. D. Lack of individual worth.()59. Where should the sentence “However, he did not do it.” be placed?A. Between Paragraphs 1 and 2. B. Between Paragraphs 2 and 3.C. Between Paragra

52、phs 3 and 4. D. Between Paragraphs 4 and 5.()60. By writing the passage, the author intended to _A. question human failures and flawsB. suggest how to fight for human dignityC. call on more people to condemn racismD. show transformation in thinking Thomas underwentCFor 150 million years during the a

53、ge of the dinosaurs, a group of dolphinlike reptiles called ichthyosaurs ruled the oceanuntil everything started to go wrong.After multiplying into about 100 known species, ichthyosaurs began to disappear from the oceans around the middle of the Cretaceous period, a time of turbulent changes in the

54、environment. The aquatic reptiles went extinct 28 million years before the rest of their dinosaur cohort.Scientists have been unable to find a singular cataclysmic event, such as a volcanic eruption or meteorite strike, that could explain ichthyosaurs abrupt disappearance from the fossil record.Now

55、researchers have new explanation for the lizard fishs demise: They had lost their ability to adapt to a swiftly changing climate.The aquatic lizards thrived throughout the early years of the dinosaurs in the Permian, Triassic and Jurassic periods. Then came the Cretaceous.That was a turbulent time t

56、o live on Earth. The poles were nearly icefree, causing sea levels to reach great heights. Temperatures were among the hottest the planet has seen in the last 250 million years.Scientists have blamed the demise of the ichthyosaurs on their inability to keep up with other predators or the loss of key

57、 prey species. But a new study by Valentin Fischer, a paleontologist who studies ichthyosaurs at the University of Liege in Belgium, and his colleagues says neither of these explanations could account for the scale and speed of the dieoff.Writing in the journal Nature Communications, Fischer and his

58、 colleagues argue that the unstable climate contributed to the disappearance of ichthyosaurs during a 5million to 6millionyear window in the Cretaceous known as the Cenomanian stage.While the rising temperatures and higher seas wouldnt have had a direct effect on the ichthyosaurs, they could have pl

59、ayed an indirect role in their decline, Fischer said. The changing climate could have made their food more scarce, or disrupted migratory routes and birthing places, among other consequences.Despite their variety of body shapes and survival strategies, ichthyosaurs were unable to keep up with all of

60、 these changes, the study authors wrote.They reached this conclusion by comparing the geological record of the Cretaceous to a newly reconstructed history of ichthyosaur evolution based on museum specimens and a review of information in previously published studies.What became clear was the ichthyos

61、aurs extinction coincided with global climate shifts and the animals slower rate of evolution, which left them unable to adapt as their environment changed, the study found.“They were probably very well adapted to their niches, and their environments were probably pretty stable，” Fischer said. “That

62、 could have lowered the pressure of natural selection and thus lowered their rates of evolution.”Think of the Cenomanian stage as a transition period.()61. The underlined word “That” in Paragraph 6 refers to the period of _A. Permian B. Triassic C. Jurassic D. Cretaceous()62. Fischers and his collea

63、gues came to their conclusion by _A. making comparisons B. conducting experimentsC. analyzing samples D. observing weather changes()63. Which of the following sentences can be used to conclude the last but one paragraph?A. No pains, no gains.B. No man is wise at all times.C. A bad beginning makes a

64、bad ending.D. Born in misery and die of happiness.()64. What might be the best title for the passage?A. A New Research Focused on the History of Ichthyosaur EvolutionB. A Swift Climate Change Followed the Disappearance of IchthyosaursC. Climate Change Taught Ancient Ichthyosaurs a Lesson: Adapt or D

65、ieD. Ichthyosaurs Ruled the Ocean for 150 Million Years Before DisappearingDI looked down at my shoes as people filled the train, and then I saw her. I saw her beatup unlaced construction boots first. I followed the shoes, laceless hole by laceless hole, all the way up to the face of an old woman. S

66、he was tiny. She had a slight slump in her shoulders. She wore a bright red cap. Wisps of gray poked out from beneath it.As I watched the woman, I thought about the letters my mother wrote and how she must have known an ordinary piece of paper turns into a love letter when a person puts her self int

67、o it. Then I remembered the notebook in the belly of my bag. I would write the woman a note and give it to her as I exited the train, I decided. I could drop it at her feet.I pulled the notebook out of my bag, turned to a new page, and began writing a letter. The words spilled out of me.When I looke

68、d up, the woman was gone. I left the letter in my notebook, unsure of what to do with it now that she would never know that it was meant for her.After I wrote that letter, more letters to other people I observed came marching out of me, one by one, until soon I had filled up the notebook.Back on the

69、 train, just a few days later, the plan became clear. I was going to leave the letter I wrote to the woman on the subway for someone else to find. Then I would scatter other love letters all over New York City. And once I had set each one in its place, I would write even more. And you want to know w

70、hy? Because it_made_me_feel_somethingI tried to imagine what would make me pick up a letter if I found it on a random subway train or in a coffee shop thinking it might have been for me all along. I settled on something simple: If you find this letter. then its for you. I wrote those words on my fir

71、st letter I folded the letter and placed it behind me. When I got to my stop, I planned to let the letter slip down onto the seat as I walked away.At Grand Central Terminal, I waited for the subway doors to open and then busted out of my seat quickly. Darting through the doors, I kept walking faster

72、 and faster once my feet hit the platform. My nerves surged. There was a whiff of adrenaline as I got farther away from the train, disappearing into the city.During the fall of 2010，I kept tucking and leaving, tucking and leaving. In the months that followed, I started my own site, MoreLoveL, about

73、my project, inspiring others to write and leave letters in their own communities. Now the website connects her both to strangers in need of love letters and to those who want to write them.About a year later, a woman wrote to me about her friend Briana, a single mother struggling to pay the rent. I

74、typed out Brianas story and published it on the website, encouraging anyone who read it to mail me letters of encouragement for Briana. I decided that at the end of the month, Id send Briana a bundle of love letters.A week later, I walked away from the post office with a lot of mailand a big idea ab

75、out human beings: mainly that if you give them something to do, a mission, they will show up. At the end of that month, I marched the love letter bundle for Briana to the post office and mailed it off to her.Then, I got a thankyou email from Brianas friend. “They show youre not alone and that youre

76、not struggling for nothing，” she wrote.About all stories, I will always go back to Matts from Ohio. He emailed me one night about two years ago. Matt told me he was getting older. His family and he were disconnected. He didnt have many friends. He was starting to believe hed leave nothing behind and

77、 hed be forgotten.The message was sent with no return address attached. There was no way to write back to him, but I hope he reads these words：Matt, I want you to know: You were wrong to think youd be forgotten. And I was wrong to think people couldnt walk into our lives and shift our histories in a

78、n instant. Because you did that for me.()65. Why did the author decide to write the strange woman a note?A. Her mother reminded her to do that. B. She preferred writing to speaking.C. She intended to show love to the woman. D. She wanted to offer her some help.()66. What does the author mean by sayi

Matt was forgotten by his family and friendsC. relatives and friends also ignored the authorD. the author was influenced by Matt to some extent()70. What can we infer from the passage?A. Pe

Here, some of the traits that

84、 separate fortunate folks from the selfproclaimed unlucky.Expect good thingsWhen people feel lucky, it tilts the scales of serendipity in their favor. “Their expectations become selffulfilling prophecies，” says Wiseman. Researchers at New York University discovered that students who believed that th

85、ey would get a date were significantly more likely to win over the object of their desire.The simple explanation: selfassurance. If you believe that youll do well, youll be more motivated. Feeling lucky might even help you win a prize at a charity dinner: The more optimistic you are about your chanc

86、es, the more raffle tickets youll probably buy. Not a Pollyanna by nature? Lucky charms can work by boosting confidence.Court chanceLucky people cultivate lots of friends and acquaintances. In one study, Wiseman showed participants a list of last names and asked them to indicate if they were on a fi

87、rstname basis with at least one person with each surname. Of subjects who considered themselves lucky, nearly 50 percent ticked eight names or more. Only 25 percent of unlucky people could. “Lucky people talk to lots of people, attract people to them, and keep in touch，” Wiseman says. “These habits

88、result in a network of luck creating potential for fortuitous connections.”Colleen Seifert, PhD, a cognitive scientist at the University of Michigan, advises getting out of an everyday rut: Attend a conference, work a political fundraiser, or sign up for scuba lessons. “Throwing a little chaos into

89、your life opens you up to a chance encounter，” she says. That person could end up being your soul mate, business partneror someone you chat with for five minutes and never see again. The goal is to stay open to possibilities.Look for silver liningsFinding value in bad luck can help your brain proces

90、s situations differently, according to Tania Luna, coauthor of Surprise: Embrace the Unpredictable and Engineer the Unexpected. Luna showed kids emotionally intense imageslike a boy cryingwhile measuring activity in their brains. Then she showed them again with a reassuring explanation, like “This b

91、oy has just been reunited with his mom.” Their brains showed a dramatic drop in activity in the amygdala, which processes fear. Lucky people are similarly able to transform a stumbling block into a positive event, which helps them keep taking chances. Face your next setback with these questions: Wha

92、t have I learned? What do I want now? How can I get it?Trust your gutElizabeth B. will never forget her luckiest moment: She was driving to New York from Pennsylvania when something told her to buy a lotto ticket. After she pulled over, a terrible accident occurred: “A pickup crossed into my lane an

93、d crashed into a guardrail. If I hadnt stopped, my car would have been totaled.” Maybe Elizabeths pit stop was a fortuitous fluke. Or maybe her intuition had warned her to get away from an erratic driver. She cant be sure. But we process far more visual information and sensory details than we consci

94、ously realize, which can lead to instincts we cant explain.In a British study, subjects played a game with cards from four decks while their heart rates were monitored. Folks didnt know the game was rigged: Two decks were stacked with highvalue cards, two with bad cards. The players heart rates dipp

95、ed when they went near the highvalue deckstheir bodies had identified the difference before their minds were aware. So trust your instincts. Lucky people are more apt to do things to tune in to their inner voice, like meditating and taking walks.Passage outlineSupporting detailsThemeLuck is far from

However, those fat children not only slept less, but also more irregularly.“Children who had the most irregular sleep patterns had the most risk of being fat,” said professor David Gozal of

138、 the research team.Kids who made up lost sleep during the weekends were less likely to get weight compared to those who did not make up lost sleep, the research found.Although children who make up lost sleep on the weekends have less chance of being fat, the best piece of advice is still that children sleep regularly and enough hours, the research adds.
