38、help people on their way while keeping an eye on anything out of place. You have to know when to be sensitive and when to be assertive(断言的). Safety is paramount, but good customer relations are vital too.Its a delicate balancing act and it calls for excellent people skills, a calm temperament (性情)an

Excellent ability to deal with various people.BHow do people traditionally manufacture (制造) things? They usually start with a

44、 sheet of metal, wood or other material and cut, drill (钻) and shave it to create a desired shape. Sometimes, they use a mold (模具) made of metal or sand, pour liquid plastic or metal into it and let it cool to create a solid part. Now, a completely different method is gaining popularity. On Oct. 9,

45、2015, London Science Museum kicked off its new exhibition, 3-D: Printing the Future, with over 600 3-D printed objects on display, including space probes (探测器), toy dolls and even human organs basically any product you can think of, reported Live Science. You might find it hard to believe that an ob

46、ject can actually be “printed out” like a picture. But it is not that hard to understand how it works. Just as a traditional printer sprays(喷洒) ink onto paper line by line, modern 3-D printers spread material onto a surface layer by layer, from the bottom to the top, gradually building up a shape. I

47、nstead of ink, the materials the 3-D printer uses are mainly plastic, resin (树脂) and certain metals. The thinner each layer is from a millimeter to less than the width of a hair the smoother and finer the object will be. And objects always come out in one piece, sparing you the trouble of putting di

48、fferent parts together afterward. For example, 10 years ago a desktop 3-D printer might have cost 20,000 (200,000 yuan), while now it costs only about 1,000, according to the BBC. In fact, 3-D printers have been around for some time, but until recently they hadnt been very popular since few people c

49、ould afford them. Last year, though, saw a big decrease in the price of 3-D printers. However, as 3-D printing technology becomes more commonplace(普通的), it may trigger(引起) certain problems. One of them is piracy (盗版). “Once you can download a coffee maker, or print out a new set of kitchen utensils

50、(餐具) on your personal 3-D printer, who will visit a retail (零售的) store again?” an expert on 3-D printing told Forbes News. Even more frightening, the worlds first 3-D printed gun was successfully fired in the US in May of this year, which means that 3-D printing could potentially give more people ac

51、cess to weapons.63. According to the article, in the future, 3-D printing technology will probably _.A. forbid many countries to make purchases of weaponsB. be applied as widely in our daily lives as computers C. change the way people make products D. take the place of normal printers and save lots

52、of energy64. What was the big event that happened in the 3-D printing industry last year?A. Over 600 3-D printed objects were on display in an exhibition.B. The 3-D printer became more affordable for consumers.C. 3-D printing technology came to be used in various fields.D. The worlds first 3-D print

53、ed gun was successfully made.65. Which of the following statement is true about 3-D printing technology? A. People have been able to produce anything they can think of using this technology. B. The thinner each layer 3-D printers spray on the surface is , the smaller and better the object will be.C.

54、 The materials the 3-D printer uses are plastic, resin (树脂) and certain metals as well as ink.D. Despite the popularity of 3-D printing technology, there exist some potential problems 66. What is the authors attitude toward 3-D printing technology?A. Objective.B. Amused.C. Supportive. D. Negative.CP

55、atients and doctors alike have long believed in the healing (痊愈) power of humor. It is claimed that humor not only affects patients moods, but can actually help them recover faster.Several studies seem to support this. Patients in better spirits are known to have higher immune(免疫的) cell counts. Some

56、 have even claimed to have healed themselves of serious illnesses by reading comics and watching comedies.Despite all this, many researchers are not convinced. They point out the fact that many sufferings have been known to disappear naturally, with or without a daily dose of laughter. They also say

57、 that while optimism in general does seem to be related to better health, it is hard to tell which comes first.Humor in times of stress, however, clearly makes us feel better. On one level, it takes our minds off our troubles and relaxes us. On another, it releases powerful endorphins, a chemical pr

58、oduced by your body that reduces pain. There are cases where the appreciation of a good joke is indeed directly related to a persons health. It can show, for example, whether a person has suffered damage to one particular area of the brain: the right frontal lobe (额叶). Scientists confirmed this by h

59、aving people read jokes and asking them to choose the funniest endings from a list. Subjects with normal brains usually chose endings that were based on a relatively complex synthesis (综合) of ideas. Subjects with specifically located brain damage, however, responded only to slapstick (闹剧) endings, w

60、hich did not depend on a particular context. When pressed, the brain-damaged subjects saw the logic in the correct endings. They simply did not find them funny.Of course, humor is largely an individual matter. Next time your friend does not get one of your jokes, there is no need to accuse him of be

61、ing a lamebrain. However, you might suggest that he lighten upfor the health of it. 67. We can infer from the passage that _.A. all researchers have agreed on the healing power of humorB. people seldom accuse their friends of not understanding jokesC. reading comics will surely become a popular way

62、of treating diseasesD. the author holds a positive attitude to the healing power of humor68. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Patients in bad moods are known to have higher immune cell counts. B. Many researchers are not convinced of the healing power of humor.C. Optimism in general

63、does seem to be related to better health.D. People should try their best to cheer up for their good health.69. Scientists had some people read jokes and asked them to choose the funniest endings from a list to confirm that _.A. the brain-damaged people are different from those with normal brainsB. a

64、 person suffering certain brain damage doesnt appreciate a good jokeC. a person with a normal brain usually responds to slapstick endingsD. humor takes our minds off our troubles by releasing powerful endorphins70. Which would be the best title for the passage?A. Which comes first, humor or health?

65、B. Humor can cure different illnessesC. Humor contributes to good health D. People need humor in times of stress DFor years I have been asked by several people how and why I came to translate a novel by Virginia Woolf in 1945. I graduated from the University of Ankara in 1941 and my four teachers, i

66、ncluding Orphan Burian, are members of the Translation Bureau who prepared a list of works to be translated into Turkish and set themselves to translating some of these, besides shouldering the heavy work of correcting or editing the translations submitted to the Bureau. Orphan Burian, now mostly kn

67、own for his translations of Shakespeare, had started to translate To the Lighthouse for the Translation Bureau, but at the same time he wanted to do something from Shakespeare. So he transferred it to me. For me, To the Lighthouse was love at first sight or rather at first reading. To translate a bo

68、ok, I first read it from the beginning to the end. Then I started writing each sentence by hand. When I finished the whole book I read my translation from the beginning to the end, checking it with the original, and making corrections. Then I typed it, and read the typed copy, making changes again.

69、All in all that added up to five readings. I started translating the novel in 1943 and submitted it to the Bureau in 1944. It was published in 1945 under the general title of “New English Literature” in the series called “Translations from World Literature” known as the “Classical Series”. So, the f

70、irst book by Virginia Woolf in Turkish appeared in 1945, and it was To the Lighthouse. This was eighteen years after its publication in England in 1927. To me the book itself was pure poetry; I read it as if in a dream. Not trying to dive very deeply into it, I sort of swam on it or over it. Now, ye

71、ars later, I swim in it. Even after so many years, in each reading I become conscious of new layers of which I havent been aware before. It keeps pace with my experiences in life as years go by, and each reading is a new reading for me. In 1982 and again in 1989 I revised it for two new editions and

72、 I again did it sentence by sentence checking it with the original. In those years I had thought it was necessary to revise my translations every ten years, but now I think I must do it every three or four years. In a country like Turkey, where we work very hard to clear our language from old and ne

73、w foreign words, we should try to be up to date as to the words we are using, and of the same importance are the studies being made on the methods or techniques of translation, and new approaches in translation. While translating, I usually have both the writer and the reader in mind. The novels she

74、 wrote after 1920 were especially new for most of the readers. She usually uses very short sentences, followed by rather long ones. I remember sentences of more than ten lines which werent easy for me to translate as they were. And in Turkish our having only one word, the word “O”, for “he”, “she”,

75、“it” in English, made me repeat the names of the characters more often than Woolf did. And I changed some long indirect sentences in the original into direct sentences in my translation, thinking it would make an easier reading in Turkish. When translating, I make use of all kinds of dictionaries. A

76、 difficult English word for me is the word “vision”. In To the Lighthouse, the artist Lily Briscoe is trying to finish the picture she has been drawing for some time and the novel ends with the following sentences: “Yes, she thought, laying down her brush extremely tired, Ive had my vision.” And Im

77、still thinking about how to translate this remark into Turkish.71. How and why did the writer come to translate To the Lighthouse?A. She was the only qualified person for it.B. It was really a piece of good luck.C. Virginia Woolf was very familiar to her.D. She was a member of the Translation Bureau

78、.72. What does the underlined part in paragraph 3 mean?A. The writer prefers the work very much.B. The writer likes the sport swimming.C. The writer is aware of her advantages.D. The writer has digested the book very well.73. Why does the writer revise her translations more often now?A. Readers make

79、 new demands.B. Turkish is a language of mobility.C. Many mistakes are spotted in the old edition.D. She wants to make it more popular in the market.74. While translating, the writer repeated the names of the characters to_.A. make full use of the direct sentencesB. emphasize all of these characters

80、C. make her translation much brieferD.make her translation clearer in Turkish75. The last paragraph mainly implies that_.A. the writer is taking up a difficult jobB. English is a difficult language in the worldC. the writers translation needs improvingD. remarks from characters are difficult to tran

Though living a poor life, the family still placed flowers on the table, which convinced a journalist that Germans were bound to rebuild

109、 their homeland. As is often the case, a man who can dream will try hard to overcome any difficulties and live his dream. Therefore, I agree that dreams can change ones life.

110、eam. However, at the beginning almost everyone persuaded him out of his dream because he wasnt tall enough. He didnt lose heart, though. With determination, he practised playing basketball in his spare time, making hismself a successful player in our school team. From my point of view, dreams play a

111、n important part in changing my life. To realize my dream, first of all, I should focus my effort on my studies. In addition, when faced with failure, I choose never to give up. Last but not least, I should develop such skills as problem-solving ability and communication skill. ：高二英语听力材料（Text 1）W: D

The most serious problem is the headaches she gets from the dim light in the hospital. She doesnt have time to wash her long hair and she has to learn to pack all her social activities into 6 days out of a fortnight. But on the whole, she feels very happy.
