19、分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从3655各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项填入答题卡。 People do not analyze every problem they meet. Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a _36_ problem. They often accept the opinion or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without thinking; they try

20、 to find a solution by trial and error. _37_, when all of these methods fail, the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six _38_ in analyzing a problem._39_ the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sams bicycle is broken, and he cannot ride it to class as he

21、usually does. Sam must _40_ that there is a problem with his bicycle.Next the person must find the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must know _41_ it does not work. For example, he must determine the parts that are wrong.Now the person must look for related _42_ that will make the prob

22、lem clearer and lead to _43_ solutions. For example, suppose Sam decides that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the brakes. _44_, he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about brakes, _45_ his friends at the bike shop, or look at his brakes carefully.After _46_ the

23、 problem, the person should have _47_ suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an example _48_, his suggestions might be: tighten or loosen the brakes; buy new brakes and change the old ones.In the end, one _49_ seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the _50_ idea comes quite _51

24、_ because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a _52_ way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees there is a piece of chewing gum(口香糖) stuck to a brake. He _53_ hits on the solution to his problem: he must _54_ the brake.Finally the solution is _55_. Sam does it and finds his bicycl

I shouted, “Help! Help! Can anybody help me?”After a while somebody came in. The room was so dark that I

29、couldnt see his face clearly. The man turned on the light and said with a sharp voice, “Ah! Sweetie, do you still remember who I am?” I was shocked. Oh, my God! I cried, “You are Michael Zey, the man I charged with murder! Why are you here? You should be in prison!”“You never thought about the resul

30、t of charging a gang（犯罪团伙） leader, did you? Because of you, I was in prison for 15 years. You ruined my life!” His voice was very cold. My face was pale with fear. He was here to take revenge（报复）!“Please, let me go! Dont hurt me! Please!” I asked him. “Dr. Calment, you are smart enough to know it is

31、 impossible. Now, I give you two choices. One is shooting your head. It is the quickest way. The other is cremation（火葬）. Your husband and you will be together forever. Its quite romantic. Dont you think?” He spoke angrily. “What? My husband? He is innocent!” I shouted at him.Suddenly, he took hold o

32、f my head and said, “You will pay for what you have done to me.” He took out a gun from his bag. “Help! Help! Can anybody help me?”56.

35、important event in the job-hunting process, because the 20 or 30 minutes you spend with the interviewer may decide whether or not you get the particular job you want. Therefore, it is important to remember that your purpose during the interview may differ from that of the potential employer. You wan

36、t to make yourself stand out as a whole person who has personal strengths and should be considered the right person for the job. It is encouraging to know that the interviewers task is not to embarrass you, but to hire the right person for the job.Remember, job-hunting is very competitive. Anything

37、you can do to improve your interview techniques will be to your advantage. The following suggestions may help you land the most important job.Your goal in this interview is to make sure your good points get across. The interviewer wont know them unless you point them out, so try to do this in a fact

38、ual and sincere manner.Dont say anything bad about your former employers. If you have been fired from a job and the interview asks about it, be honest.Show the interviewer that you are interested in the company by asking questions. Ask about responsibilities, working conditions, promotion opportunit

39、ies and benefits of the job you are interviewing for.If at some point you decide the interview is not going well, do not let your discouragement show. You have nothing to lose by continuing a show of confidence, and you many have much to gain. It may be real, or it may be a test to see how you react

40、 to adverse conditions.Some interviewers may bring up salary early in the interview. At this time, you may indicate that you are more interested in a job where you can prove yourself than a specific salary. This politely passes the question back to the interviewer. If possible, you should negotiate

A. how to make your strengths understood B. how to show your interest in the job C. how to be frank and sincere D. how to deal with an interviewCWhy I Dont Spare “Spare Change”“Poor b

44、ut honest.” “The deserving (值得帮助的) poor.” These words always come to my mind when I think of “the poor.” But I also think of people who, perhaps through alcohol or drugs, have ruined not only their own lives but also the lives of others in order to give way to their own pleasure. Perhaps alcoholism

45、and drug addiction really are “diseases,” as many people say, but my own feeling based, of course, not on any serious study is that most alcoholics and drug addicts belong to the “undeserving poor.” And that is largely why I dont give spare change to beggars.But surely among the street people there

46、are also some who can rightly be called “deserving.” Deserving what? My spare change? Or simply the governments assistance? It happens that I have been brought up to believe that it is proper to make contributions to charity, but if I give some change to a beggar, am I making a contribution to chari

47、ty and thereby helping someone, or, am I perhaps simply encouraging someone not to get help? Or, maybe even worse, am I supporting a cheat?If one believes in the value of private charity, one can either give to needy people or to charitable organizations. In giving to a beggar one may indeed be help

48、ing a person who badly needs help, but one cannot be certain that one is giving to a needy person. In giving to an organization, on the other hand, one can feel that ones money is likely to be used wisely. True, facing a beggar one may feel that this particular unfortunate person needs help at this

49、moment a cup of coffee or a sandwich and the need will not be met unless I put my hand in my pocket right now. But I have come to think that the beggars whom I meet can get along without my spare change, and indeed perhaps they are actually better off for not having money to buy alcohol or drugs.I k

50、now nothing about these beggars, but its my impression that they simply prefer begging to working. I am not generalizing about street people. I am talking about the people whom I actually meet. Thats why I do not give “spare change,” and I dont think I will in the future.64. What does the author thi

51、nk of beggars who take drugs? A. They should be given a check-up. B. They really need money to live. C. They have no pleasure in life. D. They are not worth helping.65. Why doesnt the author give money to street people? A. He doesnt think they need help. B. He doesnt have enough money to give.C. He

52、is not convinced they will use it rightly. D. He believes they can get help from the government.66. In the second paragraph, the author presents his idea by _. A. asking questions for people to think about B. giving examples to support his argument C. raising questions and answering them D. expressi

53、ng his opinions directlyDA chip inserted in a young quadriplegics (四肢麻痹患者) brain is already improving his quality of life. Soon the benefits may be more widespread. A 25-year-old man unable to move from the neck down recently did what many assumed impossible. After a knife attack that had left him p

54、aralyzed, all he could move was his head, which he used to push a switch and call for a nurse. And he could turn his wheelchair by blowing into a straw near his face. That was it. Then last June, a Foxborough (Mass.) company called Cyber Kinetics opened the mans skull and inserted a special chip no

55、larger than a baby aspirin. That insert has given him a few additional and precious abilities. When connected to a special computer via a cable, the chip translates the young mans thoughts into commands that let him move a cursor across a PC screen and open e-mail. He can draw a circle with a comput

56、er painting program. And he can use a robotic hook(钩) to perform simple tasks like picking up a candy and sliding it across a table.All he has to do is to think. Several new studies have begun or been completed in the past year. In fact, more than half of the scientific papers in this field, called

57、brain-to-computer interaction (BCI), have been published in the past two years, notes Jonathan Wolpaw, a research physician at Wadsworth Center, the New York State Health Dept.s research laboratory. Brain surgeries (手术) are no longer rare: Thousands of Parkinsons disease patients have had special de

58、vices inserted in their brains to ease uncontrollable shaking and other symptoms. The inserts themselves have improved, so the body doesnt reject them as furiously(猛烈地). And significant development has been achieved in software used to interpret the brains signals and change them into commands under

59、stood by computers. But increased demand for thought technology remains the biggest reason for the fields progress. Today, 4 million Americans live with paralysis according to the Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation. Scientists hope that thought technology will reduce the impact of such disabilit

60、ies. People with spinal-cord injuries, for example, often lose their ability to walk because the communications network between their brain and their legs has been interrupted. The brain still commands the leg muscles to move, but they dont hear its orders. Thought technology, scientists hope, will

61、bridge this communications gap. Our goal is for you to see paralyzed people eating at a restaurant and for you not to know that they are paralyzed, says John Donoghue, founder and chief scientific officer at Cyber Kinetics.67. What was the young mans trouble after a knife attack? A. It was impossibl

62、e for him to do anything. B. By no means could he call for a nurse.C. He could not use his organs under the neck. D. He was unable to move his head.68. What plays the most important role in improving the young mans quality of life?A. A chipB. A computer C. A robotic hookD.A company69. What can we le

People with Parkinsons disease reject the use of the chip in their brains.D. No software has been developed to interpret the brains signals.70. What is the passa

65、 and sharing the common living areas with him/her. No more than three adult students or four junior students will be accommodated in host family accommodation at one time.Host family accommodation remains popular among international students. It is the most economical and beneficial accommodation fo

66、r any student. It is also the best way to practice English and learn new cultures. As a result, it is often seen as the number-one choice for its advantages in language study, cultural communication and cost of living.

67、short time of their study so that their language acquisition is likely to become faster.

M

68、ost host families are always ready to help students out in any situation. Often the bonds that are made between international students and their host families endure many years, and are maintained through letters and e-mails. Another advantage is that host family accommodation can sometimes be the l

69、east expensive. It attracts students as it ensures them a family type of living at a low cost.The advantages, however, have not prevented host families,from worrying. On the one hand, some host families are losing their unique selling points. One problem is that the majority of hosts in big cities,

70、now generally single and young, have less time available for international students, but the selling point for host family accommodation is communication practice. On the other hand, students expectations have risen. They are becoming more demanding and asking for more than ever from their accommoda

71、tion, as they come mainly from high socio-economic groups in their own countries.To get out of the difficult situation, host families are now making efforts to improve the quality of service. They are trying to make living conditions better, including broadband Internet service, private bathroom, an
