25、A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。When I was a boy, every holiday that I had seemed wonderful. My 56 took me by train or by car to a hotel by the 57 . All day, I seem to remember, I 58 on the sands with strange 59 children. We made houses and gardens, and 60 the tide (潮汐) destroy them. When the tide went out, we

26、61 over the rocks and looked down at the fish in the rock-pools. In those days the 62 seemed to shine always brightly 63 the water was always warm. Sometimes we left the beach and walked in the country, 64 ruined houses and dark woods and climbing trees. There were 65 in ones pockets or good places

27、where one could 66 ice-creams. Each day seemed a life-time. Although I am now thirty-five years old, my idea of a good 67 is much the same as it was. I 68 like the sun and warm sand and the sound of _ 69 beating the rocks. I no longer wish to 70 any sand house or sand garden, and I dislike sweets. 7

28、1 , I love the sea and often feel sand running through my fingers. Sometimes I 72 what my ideal holiday will be like when I am 73 . All I want to do then, perhaps, will be to lie in bed, reading books about 74 who make houses and gardens with sands, who watch the incoming tide, who make 75 sick on t

32、o small children, has been working for the last seven years as a night cleaner, cleaning offices in a big building.She trained as a nurse, but had to give it up when her elder child became seriously ill. “I would have liked to go back to it, but the shifts（工作班次） are all wrong for me, as I have to be

33、 home to get the children up and off to school.”So she works as a cleaner instead, from 9 p.m. till 6 a.m. five nights a week for just 90, before tax and insurance. “Its better than it was last year, but I still think that people who work unsocial hours should get a bit extra.”The hours she s chosen

34、 to work meant that she sees plenty of the children, but very little of her husband. However, she doesnt think that puts any pressure on their relationship.Her work isnt physically very hard, but its not exactly pleasant, either. “I do get angry with people who leave their offices like a place for r

35、aising pigs. If they realized people like me have to do it, perhaps theyd be a bit more careful.”The fact that shes working all night doesnt worry Margaret at all. Unlike some dark buildings at night, the building where she works is fully lit, and the women work in groups of three. “Since Ive got to

36、 be here, I try to enjoy myselfand I usually do, because of the other girls. We all have a good laugh, so the time never drags.”Another challenge Margaret has to face is the reaction of other people when she tells them what she does for a living. “They think youre a cleaner because you dont know how

37、 to read and write,” said Margaret. “I used to think what my parents would say if they knew what Id been doing, but I dont think that way any more. I dont dislike the work though I cant say Im mad about it.”76. Margaret left her job as a nurse because _A. she wanted to earn more money to support her

38、 familyB. she had suffered a lot of mental pressureC. she needed the right time to look after her childrenD. she felt tired of taking care of patients77. Margaret gets angry with people who work in the office because _.A. they never clean their offices B. they look down upon cleanersC. they never do

39、 their work carefully D. they always make a mess in their offices78. When at work, Margaret feels _.A. light-hearted because of her fellow workers B. happy because the building is fully litC. tired because of the heavy workload D. bored because time passed slowly79. The underlined part in the last p

40、aragraph implies that Margarets parents would _A. help care for her children B. regret what they had saidC. show sympathy for herD. feel disappointed in herB.The Diet Zone: A Dangerous PlaceDiet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet We are surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere

41、 we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically. Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. O

42、n one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale instead. All we have to

43、 do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food labels. On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we dont have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that

44、gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle. The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy fo

45、ods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients(营养成分). Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemical that go into diet products are potent

46、ially dangerous. Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prev

47、ent the psychological harm that comes from using them .80. From Paragraph 1, we learn that _.A. diet products fail to bring out peoples potentialB. people have difficulty in choosing diet productsC. diet products are misleading people D. people are fed up with diet products81. One psychological effe

48、ct of diet products is that people tend to _.A. try out a variety of diet foods B. hesitate before they enjoy diet foodsC. pay attention to their own eating habits D. watch their weight rather than their diet82. In Paragraph 3, “gain comes without pain” probably means _.A. losing weight is effortles

49、sB. it costs a lot to lose weightC. diet products bring no painD. diet products are free from calories83. Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products _.A. are over-consumed B. lack basic nutrientsC. are short of chemicalsD. provide too much energy C.Can people change their

50、skin color without suffering like pop king Michael Jackson? Perhaps yes. Scientists have found the gene that determines skin color.The gene comes in two versions, one of which is found in 99 per cent of Europeans. The other is found in 93 to 100 per cent of Africans, researchers at Pennsylvania Stat

51、e University report in the latest issue of Science.Scientists have changed the color of a dark-striped zebra fish to uniform gold by inserting a version of the pigment gene into a young fish. As with humans, zebra fish skin color is determined by pigment（色素） cells, which contain melanosomes（黑色素体）. T

52、he number, size and darkness of melanosomes per pigment cell determines skin color.It appears that, like the golden zebra fish, light-skinned Europeans also have a mutation （变异）in the gene for melanosome production. This results in less pigmented skin.However, Keith Cheng, leader of the research tea

53、m, points out that the mutation is different in human and zebra fish genes.Humans acquired dark skin in Africa about 1.5 million years ago to protect bodies from ultra-violet rays of the sun, which can cause skin cancer.But when modern humans leave Africa to live in northern latitudes（纬度）, they need

54、 more sunlight on their skin to produce vitamin D. So the related gene changes, according to Cheng.Asians have the same version of the gene as Africans, so they probably acquired their light skin through the action of some other gene that affects skin color, said Cheng.The new discovery could lead t

55、o medical treatments for skin cancer. It also could lead to research into ways to change skin color without damaging it like chemical treatment did on Michael Jackson.84. The passage mainly tells us that _. A. people can not change their skin color without any pain. B. the new discovery led to safe

56、ways to change skin color. C. pop king Michael Jackson often changed his skin color as he liked D. scientists have found out that peoples skin color is determined by the gene85. It can be inferred from the passage that _. A. nowadays people who want to change their skin color have to suffer a lot fr

57、om the damage caused by the chemical treatment B. Europeans and Africans have the same gene C. the new discovery could help to find medical treatments for skin cancer D. there are two kinds of genes86. Scientists have done an experiment on a dark-striped zebra fish in order to _. A. find the differe

58、nt genes of humans B. prove the humans skin color is determined by the pigment gene C. find out the reason why the Africans skin color is dark D. find out the ways of changing peoples skin color87. The reason why Europeans are light-skinned is probably that _. A. they are born light-skinned people B

59、. light-skinned Europeans have mutation in the gene for melanosome production C. they have fewer activities outsideD. they pay much attention to protecting their skinD.When I was a child I never said, “When I grow up, I want to be a CEO,” but here I am. When I look back on my career, I realize the r

60、oad to becoming a CEO isnt a straight, clearly clarified path. In fact, no two paths are the same. But whether you want to be a boss one day or not, theres a lot to learn from how leaders rise to the top of successful companies. As this series of stories shows, the paths to becoming a CEO may vary,

61、but the people in that position share the qualities of commitment(承诺), work ethic（规范） and a strong desire for building something new. And every CEO take risks along the wayputting your life savings on the line to start a software company or leaving a big business to be one of the first employees at

62、a startup.I grew up in Minnesota, and learned how to be an entrepreneur（企业家）from my father, who has run a small business for almost 30 years. I went to Georgetown University and tried a lot of business activities in college with varying degrees of success. And I always had a dream job pattern: to wa

63、lk to work, work for myself and build something for consumers. Im only 29, so its been a quick ride to CEO. Out of college, I worked for AOL as a product manager, then moved to Revolution Health and ran the consumer product team. In mid-2007 I left Revolution Health and started Living Social with se

64、veral other colleagues, where I became a CEO.Career advice: Dont figure out where you want to work, or even what industry youd like to work at. Figure out what makes you do so. What gives you a really big rush? Answer why you like things, not what you like doingand then apply it to your work life. A

65、lso, just because youre graduating, dont stop learning. Read more books than you did in college. If you do, and theyre not, youre really well in a position to succeed in whatever you do.88.
