16、e36 the purpose of traffic lights. 37 , its even more frightening to imagine letting people make their own decisions at 38 crossroads. Do the biggest cars get to go first? Who decides who goes next? So I guess I do like the idea of a system to39 traffic. And Ill do my best to40 the traffic rules: to

17、 go, to be cautious, and to stop when Im41 to. It occurs to me that my42 have done much the same for me43 teaching me how to live.

23、to the world and the other that is secret and real. You dont show your secret personality when youre awake because you can control your behavior, but when youre asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, people frequently change their position. The important pos

24、ition is the one that you go to sleep in. If you go to sleep on your back, youre a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You dont like to upset people, so you never express your real feelings. Youre quite shy and you arent very confident.

25、If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive（不坦率的）person. You worry a lot and youre always easily upset. Youre very stubborn（顽固的）, but you arent very ambitious. You usually live for today not for tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time. If you sleep curled up（卷曲）, you are

26、probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so youre often defensive. Youre shy and you dont normally like meeting people.You prefer to be on your own. Youre easily hurt.If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strengths an

27、d weaknesses. Youre usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel anxious, but you dont often get depressed. You always say what you think even if it annoys people.51. According to the writer，you naturally show your secret and real personality _.A. only in a normal night B. o

28、nly when you change sleeping positionC. only when you refuse to show yourself to the world D. only when you go to sleep52. Which is NOT mentioned in the second paragraph about a persons personality？ A. He or she is always easily upset.B. He or she always likes new ideas earlier than others. C. He or

29、 she is always open with others.D. He or she tends to believe in others. 53. Maybe you dont want to make friends with a person who sleeps curled up, Why？ A. He or she is rarely ready to help you.B. He or she would rather be alone than communicate with you.C. He or she prefers staying at home to goin

30、g out. D. He or she wouldnt like to get help from you. 54. It appears that the writer tends to think highly of the person who sleeps on one side because _. A. he or she always shows sympathy for people B. he or she often considers annoying peopleC. he or she has more strengths than weaknesses D. he

31、or she is confident but not stubbornBEver walked to the shops only to find, once there, youve completely forgotten what you went for? Or struggled to remember the name of an old friend? For years weve accepted that a forgetful brain is as much a part of ageing as wrinkles and grey hair. But now a ne

32、w book suggests that weve got it all wrong.According to The Secret Life of the Grown-up Brain, by science writer Barbara Strauch, when it comes to the important things, our brains actually get better with age. In fact, she argues that some studies have found that our brain hits its peak between our

33、40s and 60smuch later than previously thought.Furthermore, rather than losing many brain cells as we age, we retain (保留) them, and even produce new ones well into middle age. For years its been assumed that brain, much like the body, declines with age. But the longest, largest study into what happen

34、s to people as they age suggests otherwise.This continuing research has followed 6,000 people since 1956, testing them every seven years. It has found that on average, participants performed better on cognitive(认知的) tests in their 40s and 50s than they had done in their 20s. Specifically,older peopl

35、e did better on tests of vocabulary, verbal memory (how many words you can remember) and problem solving.Where they performed less well was number ability and perceptual speedhow fast you can push a button when ordered. However, with more complex tasks such as problem-solving and language, we are at

36、 our best at middle age and beyond. In short, researchers are now coming up with scientific proof that we do get wiser with age.Neuroscientists are also finding that we are happier with ageing. A recent US study found older people were much better at controlling and balancing their emotions. It is t

37、hought that when were younger we need to focus more on the negative aspects of life in order to learn about the possible dangers in the world, but as we get older weve learned our lessons and are sub-consciously aware that we have less time left in life: therefore, it becomes more important for us t

38、o be happy. 55. Barbara Strauch probably agrees that _. A. peoples brains work best between their 40s and 60sB. the young are better at handling important thingsC. ageing leads to the decline of the function of the brain D. wrinkles and grey hair are the only symbols of ageing56. The continuing rese

39、arch has found older people perform better on _ .A. number ability B. vocabulary tests C. perceptual speedD. body balance57. People are happier with age because _.A. they know how to share feelings B. they learn to value the time leftC. they cannot focus on negative aspects D. they do not realize th

40、e possible dangers58. What is the main idea of the passage? A. People get more forgetful with age. B. People get wiser with age. C. People get happier with age. D. People get more self-aware with age. CThe Internet has revolutionized our lives to such an extent that for most people, the global netwo

41、rk has become more than just a tool but rather an indispensable aid in everyday life. More and more people go online as wireless networks have brought the Internet closer and closer: its on our mobile phones, in our cars and TV sets, in hospital surgery rooms and in fishing boats that battle the wav

42、es of the Atlantic.And this revolution has brought along with it a new way of shopping. Both big and small, e-commerce websites have literally flooded the Internet by the hundreds of thousands. Anything you can buy from a brick and mortar store(实体店) you can also buy online: from food and clothes to

43、guns and bombs, no matter what youre looking for, youre bound to find the right online store with just a few clicks of the mouse.This revolution has sent cold trembles down the backbones of brick and mortar business owners. And what was their reaction? Theyve opened online stores to go hand in hand

44、with their conventional businesses. Nowadays, every Mom and Pops cheesecake store also has a website. In a recent survey, 68% of small business owners have stated that they are scared of being put out of business by the powerful flood that e-commerce has become. So its no wonder many of them have de

45、cided to join the revolution and establish some kind of an online presence even though most of them have stated that they dislike the Internet.But do the big players have reasons to be afraid? Are we going to start seeing ghostly, deserted Wal-Marts across the country? Probably not in the near futur

46、e but the day will come when most people will just stop shopping offline anymore. A trip to Wal-Marts wastes time, burns gas and sometimes adds a few extra dots on the stress counter. The recent advancements in mobile technology and the introduction of mobile phones with improved web capabilities ha

47、s even made some people order their groceries when they get out from work and have them delivered at their doorstep by the time they get home. And as Time is money, this practice is lifesaving for people who work two jobs.Technology will continue to advance and e-commerce will follow closely in its

48、footsteps. Everything will become easier and less time consuming, leaving us more time to enjoy the things that really matter in life: the ones we love, our friends and hobbies.59. What is Para. 1 mainly about?A. The popularity of mobile phones.B. The function of the global network.C. The importance

49、 of the Internet.D. The great impact of the Internet.60.

50、. According to Para 5 and Para 6, the greatest benefit of online shopping is .A. to save timeB. to follow the fashionC. to release pressureD. to protect environment62. What would be the best title for the passage?A. A New Way of Shopping.B. The Internet Revolution.C. What is the Reaction to Online S

51、hopping?D. Is Online Shopping the Future of E-commerce? DYou either have it, or you dont-a sense of direction. But why is it that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map, while others can lose themselves in the next street? Scientists say were all born with a sense of direct

52、ion, but it is not properly understood how it works.One theory is that people with a sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it. Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we dont use it, we lose it.“Children as young as seven have t

53、he ability to find their way around,” says Jim Martland, Research Chief of the project. “However, if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they never develop the skills.”Jim Martland also emphasizes that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of

54、direction. He makes the following suggestions: If you are using a map, turn it,and it relates to the way you are facing. If you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stone or a tree. note landmarks on the route as you go away from your bike. When you return, go back al

55、ong the same route. Simplify the way of finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town, streams, or walls in the countryside to guide you. Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks such as tower blocks or hills which can help to find out where yo

56、u are.Now you need never get lost again!63. Scientists believe that _. A. some babies are born with a sense of direction B. Everybody possesses a sense of direction from birth C. people never lose their sense of direction D. people learn a sense of direction as they grow older 64. If you leave your

57、bike in a strange place, you should _.

According to the passage, the be

58、st way to find your way around is to _. A. ask policemen for directions B. use walls, streams, and streets to guide yourself C. remember your route by looking out for steps and stairs D. count the number of landmarks that you see第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。_66_. Friend

59、ships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while, then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, _67_. This

60、 can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flow more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings. Another difficult point for us to understand is that _68_. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time.

61、Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend; _69_.
