I left for the train station at 7:35 to arrive at work by 8:30. While on the train I would always choose a seat away from the crowd so I c

19、an read the newspaper 36 and quietly. I didnt know why but for some reason when I got on the train today it was unusually 37 . I sat down in the only seat available beside a middle-aged man that had his head down and seemed to be 38 in his thoughts. I was glad that he didnt notice when I sat next to

20、 him because he just 39 to look down towards the floor. Shortly after the train left I found myself 40 what could be so important that he didnt even see me. I tried to forget about it. However, for some strange reason this inner 41 kept forcing me to talk to this man. I tried to ignore the voice 42

21、there was no way I was starting a conversation with a complete stranger. Finally I 43 and came up with an excuse to ask him a question. When he 44 his head, I could see that he had some tears rolling down the side of his face 45 his feeble(微弱的) attempt to wipe them away. We talked for about 20 minut

22、es and in the end he seemed to be doing 46 . Several weeks had passed when I noticed an unaddressed 47 on my desk after returning from lunch. It only had the word 48 written on it. When I read the note inside the envelope I was so filled with emotions that I couldnt 49 myself. It was a letter from t

23、he man I met on the train thanking me again for talking to him and 50 his life that day. Apparently he had some very hurtful personal problems that were so 51 he was planning to take his life that day. In his letter he explained that he in 52 screamed out to God that if God really cared about him he

24、 would 53 someone to prevent him from taking his life. In his eyes I was that someone, that Angel sent by God.

Three centuries later, misguided ideas about child-ra

29、ising are still popular. Many parents fear that their children will die unless ceaselessly watched. In America the law can be equally paranoid (偏执的). In South Carolina this month Debra Harrell was jailed for letting her 9-year-old daughter play in a park unsupervised (无人监督的). Her severe punishment r

30、eflects the rich worlds worry about parenting. By most objective measures, modern parents are far more conscientious (认真的) than previous generations. Dads are more hands-on than their fathers were, and working mothers spend more time nurturing their children than the housewives of the 1960s did. How

31、ever, there are two problems in this picture, connected to class. One is at the lower end. Even if poor parents spend more time with their children than they once did, they spend less than rich parents do. America is a laggard here: its government spends abundantly on school-age kids but much less t

32、han other rich countries on the first two or three years of life. If America did more to help poor parents with young children, it would have huge returns. The second one, occurs at the other end of the income scale, and may even apply to otherwise rational (理性的) Economist readers: well-educated, ri

33、ch parents try to do too much. Safety is part of itthey fear that if they are not constantly watching their children may break their necks, which is the least rational. Despite the impression you get from watching crime dramas, children in rich countries are safe, so long as they look both ways befo

34、re crossing the road. The other popular parental fearthat your children might not get into an Ivy League collegeis more rational. Academic success matters more than ever before. But beyond a certain point, parenting makes less difference than many parents imagine. Studies in Minnesota and Sweden, fo

35、r example, found that identical twins grew up equally intelligent whether they were raised together or apart. A study in Colorado found that children adopted and raised by brainy parents ended up no brainier than those adopted by average parents. This doesnt mean that parenting is irrelevant. The fa

36、milies who adopt children are carefully screened, so they tend to be warm, capable and middle-class. But the twin and adoption studies indicate that any child given a loving home and adequate stimulation is likely to fulfill her potential. Put another way, better-off parents can afford to relax a bi

37、t. And if you are less stressed, your children will appreciate it, even if you still make them eat their fruit and vegetables.56. Which of the following statements is NOT a misguided idea of parenting mentioned in the passage? A. Children should be protected from any dangers by their parents B. The

38、more conscientious parents are, the more children will surely benefit from parenting C. Children will die unless ceaselessly watched D. Children are likely to fulfill their potential with a loving home and adequate stimulation57. The underlined word “laggard” in Paragraph 2 probably means a country

39、that _. A. is ahead in development B. falls slow behind others C. is free from physical or mental disorder D. moves to a higher position 58. Which of the following can we learn from the passage? A. Only warm, capable and middle-class people can adopt a child. B. When it comes to child-raising, Econo

40、mist readers will become more rational. C. Children in rich countries are in greater danger due to the bad influence of crime dramas. D. Although poor parents spend more time with their kids than they once did, they spend less than rich parents do.59. This passage is mainly written to _. A. urge Ame

41、rican laws concerning parenting to be changed B. advise modern parents to learn from their previous generations C. persuade stressed parents to learn to relax and give more freedom to their children D. call on the government to do more to help poor parents with school-age childrenB My mind went blan

42、k when I saw the gun pointing against the car window as we pulled out of the garage. This cant be happening to me. Then I felt the gun, cold, against my head, and I heard my friend Jeremy saying, “What do you want? Take my wallet,” but at the time I thought of nothing. I remember being a little anno

43、yed when the gunman pulled me from the car by the hair. I remember the walk to the house - Jeremy, me, the two men with two guns. I remember the fear and anger in the gunmens voices because Jeremy was being slow, and I remember wondering why he was being slow. I did not realize that Jeremy had throw

44、n the keys into the bush. But I remember that sound of the gun hitting Jeremys head and the feeling as the man who had hold of my hair released me. And I remember the split second when I realized he was looking at Jeremy, and I remember wondering how far I could run before he pulled the trigger. But

45、 I was already running, and upon reaching the car across the street, I didnt crouch(蹲伏) behind it but screamed instead. I remember thinking there was something ridiculous and illogical about screaming “Help, help!” at eight oclock on a Tuesday evening in December and changing my plea(恳求) to the more

46、 specific “Help, let me in, please let me in!” But the houses were cold, closed, unfriendly, and I ran on until I heard Jeremys screams behind me announcing that our attackers had fled. The neighbors who had not opened their doors to us came out with baseball bats and helped Jeremy find his glasses

47、and keys. In a group they were very brave. We waited for the police to come until someone said to someone else that the noodles were getting cold, and I said politely, “Please go and eat. Were OK.” I was happy to see them go. They had been talking of stricter sentences for criminals, of bringing bac

48、k the death penalty(处罚) and how the President is going to clean up the country. I was thinking, they could be saying all of this over my dead body, and I still feel that stiffer sentences wouldnt change a thing. In a rush all the anger I should have felt for my attackers was directed against these c

49、ontented people standing in front of their warm, comfortable homes talking about all the guns they were going to buy. What good would guns have been to Jeremy and me? People all over the neighborhood had called to report our screams, and the police turned out in force twenty minutes later. They were

50、 ill-tempered about what was, to them, much trouble about nothing. After all, Jeremy was hardly hurt, and we were hopeless when it came to describing the gunmen. “Typical,” said one policeman when we couldnt even agree on how tall the men were. Both of us were able to describe the guns in horrifying

51、 detail, but the two policemen who stayed to make the report didnt think that would be much help. The policemen were matter-of-fact about the whole thing. The thin one said, “That was a stupid thing to do, throwing away the keys. When a man has a gun against your head you do what youre told.” Jeremy

52、 looked properly embarrassed. Then the fat policeman came up and the thin one went to look around the outside of the house. “That was the best thing you could have done, throwing away the keys,” he said. “If you had gone into the house with them” His voice became weaker. “They would have hurt her” -

53、 he twisted his head toward me - “and killed you both.” Jeremy looked happier. “Look,” said the fat policeman kindly, “theres no right or wrong in the situation. Theres just luck.” All that sleepless night I replayed the moment those black gloves came up to the car window. How long did the whole thi

54、ng last? Three minutes, five, eight? No matter how many hours of my life I may spend reliving it, I know there is no way to prepare for the next time - no intelligent response to a gun. The fat cop was right. Theres only luck. The next time I might end up dead. And Im sure there will be a next time.

55、 It can happen anywhere, anytime, to anyone. Security is an illusion(幻觉); there is no safety in locks or in guns. Guns make some people feel safe and some people feel strong, but theyre fooling themselves.60. When the writer saw the gun pointing against the car window, _. A. she felt very annoyedB.

56、she lost consciousness C.she lost the power of thinkingD. she felt very much nervous 61. What most possibly drove the two gunmen away? A. Jeremys fightingB. The polices arrival C. Their neighbors brave actionD. The authors screaming 62. When the author called for help, the neighbors didnt come out i

57、mmediately because _. A.they needed time to find baseball batsB. they were busy preparing dinners C. they were much too frightenedD. they thought someone was playing a trick63. The author was happy to see the neighbors go because _. A. she wanted to be left alone with Jeremy to get over the shock B.

58、 she did not want to become an object of pity C. she was angered by their being late to come to her help D. she hated to listen to their empty talk 64. The police were rather angry because _. A. they thought it was a case of little importance B. the author was not hurt and gave a false alarm C. the

59、author and Jeremy could not tell the police anything D. the gunmen had already fled when they arrived on the scene 65. What the author wants to tell us is that _. A. neighbors are not helpful in moments of difficulty B. security is impossible as long as people can have guns C. the police are not rel

60、iable when one is in trouble D. preventing robbers entering your house is the best choice五、任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)Have you ever wondered why some people seem to be so successful in life? Everything flows just right for them, the great job, great salary, perfect love, and ideal life. One reason for

61、success is the ability to make correct choices and decisions that lead to positive outcomes. Its based on power of understanding things immediately, without the need for conscious reasoning or study. This ability is intuition (直觉) and highly successful people enjoy a higher degree of intuition than

62、the average person. Successful people combine all they have learned together with what they sense with their intuition. Everybody is intuitive, but not everybody trust their intuition when it comes to making decisions. Most people dont even believe they have intuition, so, it doesnt even cross their

63、 minds to use it for problem solving. Even today, there are those who are afraid of their clairvoyant (有透视力的) abilities. They have many misconceptions about it, thinking its taboo. Others believe they have it, have had experiences with it, but never knew it could be a valuable tool for problem solvi

64、ng.Intuition is actually a skill that can be developed and applied effectively for improving all areas of life. It is not a “gift” that only a few have. In fact, everyone has some degree of intuition. Your intuition has probably been a guiding force for you all of your life by having provided you wi

65、th information that help you reach positive outcomes. This type of information tends to come from hunches, inspirational thoughts, dreams, or visions. It can, coincidentally, come from others, or from your inner voice. Often, its a very strong feeling deepin the pit (凹处) of your stomach, or your hea

66、rt. No matter how the information comes to you, when applied, the outcome is usually positive.Intuition is like reading. Its a skill that can be developed through time. No one is born knowing how to read; yet almost everyone has the potential of learning how to read. As time went by, the more we rea

67、d the more skillful we became at reading. With intuition, the more you understand, and use your intuition, the better it develops. Some people seem to have more intuition than others. Its probably because they had positive experiences with it as they were growing up, and are now more comfortable wit

68、h using it.
