22、ll as personal experiences. To the Egyptians, green was a color that represented the hope and joy of spring, while for Muslims, it means heaven. Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures. In China, children are given money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year. For many nations

23、, blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs. Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves against evils( 灾祸 ).Peoples choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies reactions toward them. Green is said to be the most restful color. It has the ability to reduce

24、 pain and relax people both mentally and physically. People who work in green environments have been found to have fewer stomach aches.Red can cause a persons blood pressure to rise and increase peoples appetites(食欲). Many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant. Similarly,

25、 many commercial websites will have a red Buy Now button because red is a color that easily catches a persons eye.Blue is another calming color. Unlike red, blue can cause people to lose appetite. So if you want to eat less, some suggest that eating from blue plates can help.The next time you are de

26、ciding on what to wear or what color to decorate your room, think about the color carefully.46. Muslims consider green as a symbol of heaven mainly because of their .A. cultural valuesB. commercial purposesC. personal experiencesD. physical reactions to the color47. Why will many commercial websites

27、 have a red “buy now” button?A. To relax people physically.B. To increase peoples appetites.C. To encourage people to make a purchase.D. To cause a persons blood pressure to rise.48. What color might help lose weight according to the text?A. Red, B. Green. C. Blue. D. Purple.49. Which of the followi

28、ng would be the most proper title for the text?A. Colors and Human BeingsB. The Cultural Meaning of ColorC. Colors and Personal ExperiencesD. The Meaning and Function of ColorBFor those who make journeys across the world, the speed of travel today has turned the countries into a series of villages.

29、Distances between them appear no greater to a modern traveler than those which once faced men as they walked from village to village. Jet plane fly people from one end of the earth to the other, allowing them a freedom of movement undreamt of a hundred years ago. Yet some people wonder if the revolu

30、tion in travel has gone too far. A price has been paid, they say, for the conquest (征服) of time and distance. Travel is something to be enjoyed, not endured(忍受). The boat offers leisure and time enough to appreciate the ever-changing sights and sounds of a journey. A journey by train also has a spec

31、ial charm about it. Lakes and forests and wild, open plains sweeping past your carriage window create a grand view in which time and distance mean nothing. On board a plane, however, there is just the blank blue of the sky filling the narrow windows of the airplane. The soft lighting, in-flight film

32、s and gentle music make up the only world you know, and the hours progress slowly.Then there is the time spent being processed at a modern airport. People are conveyed like robots along walkways; baggage is weighed, tickets produced, examined and produced yet a gain before the passengers move to ano

33、ther waiting area. Journeys by rail and sea take longer, yes, but the hours devoted to being processed at departure and arrival in airports are luckily absent. No wonder, then, that the modern high-speed trains are winning back passengers from the airlines.Man,however,is now a world traveler and can

34、not turn his back on the airplane. The working lives of too many people depend upon it; whole new industries have been built around its design and operation. The holiday-maker, too, with limited time to spend, patiently endures the busy airports and the limited space of the flight to gain those extr

35、a hours and even days,relaxing in the sun. Speed controls peoples lives; time saved, in work or play, is the important thing or so we are told. Perhaps those first horsemen, riding free across the wild, open plains, were enjoying a better world than the one we know today. They could travel at will,a

36、nd the clock was not their master.50. What does the writer try to express in Paragraph 1?A. Travel by plane has speeded up the growth of villages.B. The speed of modern travel has made distances relatively short.C. The freedom of movement has helped people realize their dreams.D. Man has been fond o

37、f traveling rather than staying in one place.51. How does the writer support the underlined statement in Paragraph 2?A. By giving instructions.B. By analyzing cause and effect.C. By following the order of time.D. By giving examples.52. According to Paragraph 3, passengers are turning back to modern

38、high speed trains because .A. they pay less for the ticketsB. they feel safer during the travelC. they can enjoy higher speed of travelD. they dont have to waste time being processed53. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Air travel benefits people and industries.B. Train travel has some advanta

39、ges over air travel.C. Great changes have taken place in modern travel.D. The high speed of air travel is gained at a cost.CThe internet will open up new vistas (前景), create the global village-you can make new friends all around the world.That, at least, is what it promised us. The difficulty is tha

40、t it did not take the human mind into account. The reality is that we cannot keep relationships with more than a limited number of people. No matter how hard the internet tries to put you in communication, its best efforts will be defeated by your mind.The problem is twofold(双重的). First, there is a

41、limit on the number of people we can hold in mind and have a meaningful relationship with. That number is about 150 and is set by the size of our brain. Second, the quality of your relationships depends on the amount of time you invest(投入)in them. We invest a lot in a small number of people and then

42、 distribute whats left among as many others as we can. The problem is that if we invest little time in a person, our engagement with that person will decline until eventually it dies into someone I once knew.This is not, of course, to say that the internet doesnt serve a socially valuable function.

43、Of course it does. But the question is not that it allows you to increase the size of your social circle to include the rest of the world, but that you can keep your relationships with your existing friends going even though you have to move to the other side of the world.In one sense, thats a good

44、thing. But it also has a disadvantage. If you continue to invest in your old friends even though you can no longer see them, then certainly you arent using your time to make new friends where you now live. And I suspect that probably isnt the best use of your time. Meaningful relationships are about

45、 being able to communicate with each other, face to face. The internet will slow down the rate with which relationships end, but it wont stop that happening eventually.54. What is stressed(强调) in the first paragraph?A. The present situation of the internet.B. The difficulty in communication on the i

46、nternet.C. The socially valuable function of the internet.D. The role of the human mind in the internet communication.55. The underlined word engagement in the second paragraph probably means .A. appointment B. connectionC. interview D. agreement56. According to the passage, the author holds the vie

47、w that .A. the internet fails to play so valuable a role in communication as it promisedB. the internet decides the quality of social relationshipsC. the internet greatly increases the size of social circlesD. the internet communication is no less effective than the face-to face talk57. What is the

48、authors attitude towards the use of the internet to strengthen relationships?A. He is uncertain about it. B. He is hopeful of it.C. He is in favor of it. D. He doubts it.DEDGEWOOD-Every morning at Dixie Heights High School, customers pour into a special experiment: the districts first coffee shop ru

It would include every English word possible and would give not only the d

57、efinition but also the history of the word and quotations(引文) showing how it was used.This was a huge task, so Murray had to find volunteers from Britain, the United States, and the British colonies to search every newspaper, magazine, and book ever written in English. Hundreds of volunteers respond

He gave his address as Broadmoor, Crowthome, Berkshire, 50 miles from Oxford.Minor joined the army of volunteers sending words and quotations to Murray. Over the next

59、 17 years, he became one of the staffs most valued contributors.But he was also a mystery. In spite of many invitations, he would always decline to visit Oxford.
