26、iture and everything Id owned was sold to pay debts that I didnt even know I had. In a week I had lost my husband, my home and my parents who had refused to accept a divorce in the family. Id lost everything except my four teenage children. I used every penny I had to buy five plane tickets from Mis

27、souri to Hawaii. Everyone said I was crazy to think I could just run off to an island and survive. I was afraid they were right. Knowing that no one in the world was going to help us, I rented a cheap apartment. I worked 18 hours a day and lost 30 pounds because I lived on one meal a day. One night

28、as I walked alone on the beach, I saw the red orange glow of the lava(火山岩) pouring out of Kilauea Volcano in the distance. It was time to live my imagination! The next day, I quit my job and invested my last paycheck in art supplies and began doing what I loved. I hadnt painted a picture in 15 years

29、. I wondered if I could still paint. My hands trembled the first time I picked up a brush. But before an hour had passed, I was lost in the colors spreading across the canvas(画布) in front of me. And as soon as I started believing in myself, other people started believing in me, too. The first painti

30、ng sold for $ 1500 before I even had time to frame it. The past six years have been filled with adventures. My children and I have gone swimming with dolphins, watched whales and hiked around the crater (火山口) rim (边缘) of the volcano. We wake up every morning with the ocean in front of us and the vol

31、cano behind us. The dream I had more than 40 years ago is now reality. Im living freely and happily ever after.56. It can be inferred from the passage that _.

Adventures over 6 years D. My life after divorce B Sometimes people call each other “scared-cat”, but have you ever thought about

35、 this expression? When a cat is frightened, its heart starts beating faster, its muscles get tense, and there are changes in the chemicals in its blood-stream. Although the cat doesnt realize this, its body is getting ready for action. If the danger continues, this animal will do one of the two thin

36、gs. It will defend itself, or it will run away as fast as it can. Something like this also happens to people. When we are excited, angry, scared, or aroused by other emotions, our bodies go through many physical changes. Our hearts beat faster, and our muscles get tense. All of these changes make us

37、 more alert and ready to react. We, too, get ready to defend ourselves or run. Human beings, however, have a problem that animals never face. If we give way to our feelings and let them take over, we can get into trouble. Have you ever said something in anger -or hit somebody -and regretted it later

38、? Have you ever shouted at a teacher, told somebody you were lonely, or said you were in love, and then wished later you had kept your mouth shut? It isnt always wise to express your feelings freely. Does this mean that its smarter always to hide our feelings? No! If you keep feelings of anger, sadn

39、ess, and bitterness hidden away or bottled up inside, your body stays tense. Physical illnesses can develop, and you can feel churned up inside. It can actually be bad for your health. Feelings that you keep all bottled up inside, dont just go away. Its as if you bought some bananas and stuck them i

40、n a cupboard. You might not be able to see them, but before long youd smell them. And if you opened the cupboard, chances are youd see little fruit flies hovering（盘旋） all over them. Theyd be rotten. You can try to treat emotions as if they were bananas in the cupboard. You can hide them and you can

41、pretend they dont exist, but theyll still be around. And at last youll have to deal with them, just like those bananas.61 .It is mentioned in the passage that human beings get into trouble because _. A. they are not as alert as animalsB. they sometimes cant control their feelingsC. they always do so

42、mething wrong to other peopleD. they dont pay attention to their physical changes62. The underlined words “churned up” in the sixth paragraph mean _. A. very delighted B. beaten heavily C. very frightened D. disturbed badly63. The author wants to tell us in the last two paragraphs that_ Ayoull not c

43、ompletely get away from your feelingsByou should treat emotions as bananas in a cupboardCfeelings will gradually disappear when you hold them inDit is good for your health to keep pleasant feelings inside64. The author writes this article in order to _ Atell us that it isnt good to keep feelings ins

44、ideBgive us some advice on how to express our feelingsCmake us deal with feelings in a wise way Dmake us know that it isnt always wise to express our feelings freely CWith only about 1, 000 pandas left in the world, China is desperately trying to clone(克隆) the animal and save the endangered species(

45、物种). Thats a move similar to what a Texas A & M University researchers have been undertaking for the past five years in a project called “Noahs Ark”. Noahs Ark is aimed at collecting eggs, embryos(胚胎), semen and DNA of endangered animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen. If certain species should

46、 become extinct, Dr. Duane Kraemer, a professor in Texas A & Ms College of Veterinary Medicine, says there would be enough of the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species in the future. It is estimated that as many as 2, 000 species of mammals, birds reptiles will become extinct in over 100

47、years. The panda, native only to China, is in danger of becoming extinct in the next 25 years. This week, Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit. They are now trying to implant the embryo into a host ani

48、mal. The entire procedure could take from three to five years to complete. “The nuclear transfer(核子移植) of one species to another is not easy, and the lack of available(capable of being used) panda eggs could be a major problem,” Kraemer believes. “They will probably have to do several hundred transf

49、ers to result in one pregnancy (having a baby). It takes a long time and its difficult, but this could be groundbreaking science if it works. They are certainly not putting any live pandas at risk, so it is worth the effort,” adds Kraemer, who is one of the leaders of the Project at Texas A& M, the

50、first-ever attempt at cloning a dog. “They are trying to do something thats never been done, and this is very similar to our work in Noahs Ark. Were both trying to save animals that face extinction. I certainly appreciate their effort and theres a lot we can learn from what they are attempting to do

51、. Its a research that is very much needed.” 65. The aim of “Noahs Ark” project is to _.A. make efforts to clone the endangered pandasB. save endangered animals from dying outC. collect DNA of endangered animals to studyD. transfer the nuclear of one animal to another66. According to Professor Kraeme

52、r, the major problem in cloning pandas would be the lack of _.A. available panda eggsB. host animalsC. qualified researchersD. enough money67. The best title for the passage may be _.A. Chinas Success in Pandas Cloning B. The First Cloned Panda in the World C. Exploring the Possibility to Clone Pand

53、as D. China the Native Place of Pandas Forever68. From the passage we know that _.A. Kraemer and his team have succeeded in cloning a dog B. scientists try to implant a pandas egg into a rabbit C. Kraemer will work with Chinese scientists in clone researches D. about two thousand of species will pro

54、bably die out in a century DTOKYO Our kids, the Japanese government announced, have forgotten how to behave. They cant be bothered with housework. If they see someone being wronged, they probably look the other way.Few countries have placed more importance on being well-behaved in public than Japan.

55、 The simplest requests for directions often result in guided tours. Smiling shopkeepers are still the rule. Lost wallets usually make their way to their owners.But according to recent surveys, all that may be going the way of the ancient hair-do(发式). And Japans government has gone into something of

56、a crisis mode.A Japanese Education Ministry Survey formed late in 1999 and made public last month found that Japan moves behind other nations in teaching youngsters right from wrong.It also reported that Japanese children are less helpful and do far less housework than their foreign peers in all cla

57、sses. But they are better about taking dirty dishes to the kitchens after dinner.In addition, Japanese kids are more likely to dry their hair and carry cell phones than American and Chinese kids, according to another survey, by a Tokyo-based tank. Children in about 8 per cent of public school classr

58、ooms are so disorderly that teachers cannot hold lessons, further recent reports show. children refuse to sit, to listen or to stop talking.Older and middle-aged Japanese continue to have a solid sense of good manners and social justice, says Professor Yoshina Hirano from Shinshu University, who was

59、 appointed to direct the ministrys survey.Despite the knowledge of good manners among adults, the breakdown in manners may be spreading, he said.69. From the first paragraph, we can infer that _.A. the Japanese government had gone badB. kids in Japan have a bad memoryC. kids in Japan seldom help the

60、ir parents with houseworkD. kids in Japan are too busy to help others70. The second paragraph seems to show us that _.A. the education system of Japan is better than that of any other countryB. shopkeepers in Japan are too kind to their customersC. Japanese kids often find wallets on their way to th

61、eir schoolsD. Japanese adults in public places act politely to each other71. It is implied(暗含) in this passage that Japanese kids _.A. spending much time doing their homeworkB. lead an advanced modern lifeC. have their hair cut too oftenD. often wash dishes after dinner EOut on the road the jeep alr

62、eady waiting. As I got on beside him, he sat up and started the engine. In a few minutes we were out of the town and heading with great speed in the direction of Bacalar. My hat blew away but when I asked him to stop, he refused. We were being followed by spies and it was necessary to drive fast to

63、throw them off.The hard and unsmooth surface of the road made the jeep weave. To the danger of being shot off the bank was added the discomfort, the cold, for at the speed we were travelling the air cut through my cotton shirt and trousers. I asked the driver to go slower, adding as an excuse that I

64、 wanted to look out for wild animals. He replied that the faster we drove the better our chance of coming up with them before they could run away. He had hardly spoken when the jeep struck a rain-filled pit, which splashed a sheet of muddy water over the windscreen. Blinded, he stopped the jeep with

65、 one wheel over the bank. When we got going again it was at a speed little faster than a walking pace.72.

76、 we know, music can produce a lively and happy atmosphere. Besides, music provides us with relaxation after hard study, which reduces the tiredness. Listening to music also makes us feel happy. On the other hand, some students have the opposite view. They dont think they can get the expected results by listening to music, as the break between classes is short. Whats needed during the break is peace instead of the noise produced by the music. Besides, in class some students are still lost in the music they have just heard.
