二．完形填空
TWO BLOCKS. Two very, very long blocks beyond in deep darkness. It is 1953, and I have walked these blocks many times on my way to the room I rent 36 campus. I get off the bus after leaving the library at ten o‘clock with books in my arms and a purse 37 from my shoulder.
My landlady works the night 38 at the hospital, so at this hour, the house will be as dark and blank as the others on this street. Everything is quiet and closed. Far ahead is (or so it seems) a streetlight. I am thinking about a paper 39 in a few days. What 40 should I explore? Will the professor admire or 41 it? Why are we reading Dreiser anyway?
I notice headlights coming toward me. A car is driving slowly down the street on the other side. As it passes, I 42 at the driver—male, blond. I keep walking. The car slows down and stops. I hear its door slam shut. A few seconds later, I hear foot-steps behind me. I do not 43 up, because I don‘t want to call attention to myself. The walker may be going to a house nearby, visiting a friend. Besides, what would be the 44 of hurrying, running?
I still have to get my door key from my purse. When I reach my house in the dark, I will have difficulty 45 my key in the lock. Then he will climb the steps behind me, put his hand 46 my mouth, knock me down on the porch floor, scattering my books, the contents of my 47 . His breath smells of mint(薄荷), but there is a so ur smell too. He will say, ―Don‘t fight me; don‘t fight.‖ I am exhausted. The scene I have imagined is 48 , violent, cruel and unbearable. I cannot live through what I expect. I stop. I refuse to experience that 49 attack again.
I turn around and wait for him. I wait and wait until he catches up to where I stand, with nothing to 50 myself but the urgency to escape 51 what might happen but what has already happened in my mind. He comes close, closer. I can see his eyes (or I think I can).
―Will you please leave me alone.‖ It is neither a question nor a scream. My voice is low, conversational. Nothing can be 52 than what I have imagined. He pauses.
―I‘m not going to 53 you,‖ he whispers, then turns around and walks back to his car.
Although this incident was important to me, it should not be understood as 54 action for anyone else. Each of us responds in our own way. But for me, a young student, it sealed the connection between my imagination and the source of courage. I did not run away. The night I 55 my ground.
36. A. from B. off C. by D. on
37. A. disappearing B. escaping C. separating D. hanging
38. A. change B. alternative C. shift D. choice
39. A. due B. necessary C. valuable D. accessible
40. A. adventure B. instance C. format D. theme
41. A. dismiss B. accept C. evaluate D. waste

43. A. wake B. turn C. speed D. pick

A
The First Hello
The man from the telephone department got off the bus, and made his way to the tea stall, wiping the sweat off his head, face, then slipping his handkerchief under his shirt to wipe his neck and back. It was a year ago that the phone line had been installed, six months later men from the public works department had come to put up the phone booth — a neat box-like structure, with a glass window, and wooden ledges, yellow in colour. And days after that, a painter had taken an entire day to colour in broad, black brushstrokes, the words: STD Booth, local and STD allowded.
No one could tell that the last word had been misspelled. Besides, he had taken the entire day. After he had a cup of tea, he had left, waving cheerfully. And now months later, someone else was here again.
Everyone watched the man as he sat on the bench. No one said a word, and soon the sound of him slurping his tea filled the hot afternoon. A few leaves fell, heavy in the heat, and sometimes a car passed, on its way to the main city farther away.
When the man had finished, he made to pay but the tea shop owner who sat behind his steaming kettle and the washed upturned cups, waved him away.
―You are our guest here.‖
So the man took his handkerchief out again and wiped his face.
They crowded around him as he shut himself up in the phone booth. When the children pressed their nose against the glass, he shooed them away, as he took out a shiny black instrument and placed it on the narrow shelf. A sigh of satisfaction passed through everyone that soon changed to an excited yell as they saw him dial a number, pressing a finger into the ringed dialer of the phone and letting it go all the way in a half-circle. A while later, they hear him say into the mouthpiece, ―Hello.‖ ―Hello, ‖ the children around the booth took up the cry, the teashop owner broke into a smile and the men waiting for a bus smiled and said hello to each other. The sadhu(印度的僧人) who sat under the banyan tree nodded wisely. As the sound carried, more hellos were heard. The women winnowing grain giggled as they tried the word tentatively, the shepherds feeding their flocks called out to their sheep, laughing as they used the word.
―It‘s a big occasion,‖ said the headman, in an awed voice.
―It is, ‖ agreed those around him. The telephone man emerged and handed over a small chit of paper to the headman. ―This is the telephone number.‖
The headman looked at it reverently as if it were a mantra(符咒). The others around him read out the numbers slowly, digit-by-digit.
The telephone man was now too tired to notice the cheering around him. He knew he had to wait long before the bus to take him back arrived. As he sipped his second cup of tea, he remembered something else.
―Oh, you can‘t start using the phone now. The minister will come next month and inaugurate it.‖No one said a word. No one was surprised. They had waited so long; a month more did not really matter.
56. In the story, fitting a working telephone booth __________.
A. was a process that had already taken 12 months
B. was in the charge of the headman.
C. should have been finished more than a year ago
D. was an artistic challenge for a local painter

The malls were filled with people seeking gifts for their loved ones. Some of the malls remained open around the clock, partly to satisfy our needs to buy gifts.
Behind the materialistic aspect of shopping for gifts lies the idea of caring, being attentive to the desires of special people in our lives. However, to use a well-worn play on words: it is our presence, not our presents, that truly counts. Many of us, unfortunately, can be so inattentive, even in the presence of our loved ones, that we might as well not be there at all.
Attention is one of the greatest gifts we can give each other. Companies around the globe spend billions every year on advertising to catch our attention for just a short moment at a time. Whole industries — media, entertainment, education —rely on the precious gift of our attention for their continued existence. A baby lacking attention for a long time is likely to be psychologically unhealthy.
In earlier times, both diet and attention could be left unregulated (没人管的) without major cause for concern. There were natural checks and balances: limited availability of food meant few got fat, for example. Similarly, in bygone times we might have spent a few hours communicating with the village storyteller; today, watching an entire TV series, while speaking to nobody, is common. In traditional societies, with smaller population, everyone would get a fair deal of attention. On many issues we might go to see Grandma or Grandpa; now we have Google and Wikipedia.
―She just wants attention.‖ people tend to think little of those doing things simply for attention. But the truth is that human beings need attention, and giving attention to each other is, to a large extent, what human civilization is based upon. This perhaps explains the runaway success of social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook. While we use such sites for ―micro Hogging‖, ―idea voicing‖ and ―status updates‖—the reality is that we are often doing no more or less than fulfilling our basic human drive for attention exchange.
I friend you, you friend me, I retweet you, you retweet me. The charming ease with which we can now get and give attention is why many people appear overly attached to their smartphones. It is also a vicious (恶性的) circle. As ever more people are busy exchanging attention online, there is increasingly less attention to be paid in the real world, which forces more people to seek their attention exchange online, or else risk attention-starvation.
The very nature of attention exchange is being rapidly transformed, and there is a danger that some of us will develop unhealthy practices. Just as eating red meat every day is a bad idea, so it is with too much attention exchange. The biological consequences of our technological advancement in food production are highly visible; heart disease, diabetes and obesity. The consequences of our transformed attention exchanges will be psychological and social, and so may take longer to identify, but they will be equally damaging.
Face-to-face attention is becoming rarer, and therefore more valuable. In a sense it is priceless. And it is a gift that can be given all-year-round.
62. In the first two paragraphs the author __________.
A. offers advice to attention givers
B. analyses the present problems
C. states the necessity of presents
D. puts forward his point of view
63. Attention exchange was not a major concern in traditional societies because of __________.
A. limited availability of food
B. natural checks and balances
C. a much smaller population
D. the guidance from old people
64. People use social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook to __________.
A. obtain information
B. give attention to others
C. voice their opinions
D. notice and get noticed
65. What can we infer from Paragraphs 6-7?
A. More people will risk attention-starvation in future.
B. The nature of attention exchange is rarely changed.
C. Technological advancement contributes to all diseases.
D. Transformed attention exchanges do harm to society.
66. The writer‘s purpose for writing the passag e is to __________.
A. advocate more focus on real life attention
B. analyze the necessity of attention giving
C. give practical tips on attention exchange
D. recommend some social networking sites

二．完形填空
When asked by Conan O‘Brien if his daughters had smartphones, comedian Louis CK explained that he had 36 replied, ―No, you can‘t have it. It's bad for you. I don‘t 37 what you want.‖ This hit home for me because at the time, I was in difficult negotiations with my ten-year-old daughter 38 one. And frankly, she was winning. CK added, ―I‘m not raising the 39 --- I‘m raising the grown-ups that they‘re going to be. So just 40 the other stupid kids have phones doesn‘t mean that my kid has to be stupid, or 41 she‘ll feel weird.‖ OK, I was sold.
Cell phones are ―toxic, especially for kids,‖ he said, because they don‘t help t hem learn empathy, one of the nicer human 42 . When we text, the 43 we get is in cold, hard text-speak. Why are kids 44 ? he asked. ―Because they‘re trying it out. Th ey look at another kid and go. ?You‘re fat.‘ Then they find the kid‘s unhappy, a nd they think, Ooh, that doesn‘t feel 45 .‖ There, they‘ve experienced empathy. Texting ―you‘re fat‖ allows you to bypass the pain you‘ve caused.
CK went on to explain to us that smartphones rob us of our ability to be 46 . Kids use smartphones to 47 their time: Must text! Must play game! Must look up more tiny American Girl socks online for Molly!!! After all, one of the joys of being human is allowing our minds to 48 . With cell phones, kids are always preoccupied. They never daydream, 49 in class. And here‘s something else we‘re 50 out on thanks to Steve Jobs‘s little device: our right to be 51 . This was a right I hadn‘t realized I desired until CK pointed out that it‘s yet another of the essential human emotions.
―Everybody‘s murdering each other with their cars‖ as they text, CK screamed, because they fear being alone. Too bad —they‘re missing out on a life affirming experience.
―I was in my car one time, and Bruce Springsteen‘s ?Jungleland‘ came on,‖ he said. ―And he sounds so far away. It made me really sad. And I think, OK, I‘ve got to get the phone and write hi to 50 people. I was 52 for the phone, and I thought, Don‘t! Just be sad.‖ So CK 53 over and allowed himself to sob like a little girl 54 that brand-new four-poster bed for her American Girl doll. ―It was beautiful. You‘re lucky to 55 sad moments,‖ he said. And because he didn‘t fight and push it away with that little phone, because he allowed himself to be miserable, his body released endorphins(内啡肽). ―And that‘s why I don‘t want to get phones for my kids.‖ CK said. And I suppose I don‘t either.
36. A. hardly B. simply C. voluntarily D. specially
37. A. reject B. care C. neglect D. separate

三．阅读理解
A
Below are some entries from an English dictionary.
1. decode(1) To put a coded message into an understandable form. (2) To find the underlying meaning of.
To decode is to take out of code and put into understandable language. (Its opposite is encode, ―to put into coded form.‖) But dreams may sometimes also be decoded; psychologists often try to decode the images of their patients‘ dreams so as to understand the emotions behind them.
2. euphemism An agreeable or inoffensive word or expression that is substituted for one that may offend or disgust.
The use of euphemism is an ancient part of the English language, and perhaps of all languages, and all of us use them. Darn is a familiar euphemism for damn. Shoot and sugar are all euphemistic substitutes for a well-known vulgar word. Pass away for die, misspeak for lie, senior citizens for old person---the list goes on and on.
3. Hades The underground home of the dead in Greek mythology.
In Greek mythology, Hades the god (who the Greeks also called Pluto) is the brother of Zeus and Poseidon, who rule the skies and the seas. The realm also called Hades, where he rules with his wife, is the region under the earth, full of mineral wealth and home to dead souls. Hades today is sometimes used as a polite term for Hell.
4. extrovert A person mainly concerned with things outside himself or herself; a sociable and outgoing person.
Extrovert was coined by the eminent psychologist C.G. Jung in the early 20th century. The opposite personality type, in Jung‘s view, was the introvert. Extroverts seem to be favored by societies such as ours, even though introverts seem to be on average more mentally gifted.
5. Dragon’s teeth Seeds of conflict.
The Phoenician prince Cadmus once killed a dragon, and was instructed by the goddess Athena to plant its teeth in the ground. From the many teeth, there immediately sprang up an army of fierce armed men. The goddess then directed him to throw a precious stone into their midst, and they
proceeded to slaughter each other until only the five greatest warriors were left; these became Cadmus‘s generals, with whom he constructed the greatest city-state of Thebes.
56. Which word or expression originates from mythology?
A. Decode.
B. Euphemism.
C. Extrovert.
D. Dragon‘s teeth.
57. Which of the following sentences is False according to the above dictionary entries?
A. ―To decode the communicating done by babies‖ means ―to try to understand the message
babies send‖ .
B. When we ―sow dragon‘s teeth‖, we‘re creating the co nditions for future trouble.
C. Hades refers to the underground world or the ruler, Pluto.
D. Extroverts tend to be more intelligent or talented than average.
58. In which sentence is euphemism used?
A. It‘s hotter than Hades in here!
B. He is the Newton of this century.
C. More haste, less speed.
D. When I told our father about this, his heart burst.
59. What‘s the meaning of the underlined word ―coined‖?
A. Spoken.
B. Earned.
C. Praised.
D. Invented.
B
My heart sank when the man at the immigration counter gestured to the back room. I was born and raised in America, and this was Miami, where I live, but they weren‘t quite ready to let me in yet.
―Please wait in here, Ms Abujaber,‖the immigration officer said. My husband, with his very American last name, accompanied me. He was getting used to this. The same thing had happened recently in Canada when I‘d flown to Montreal to speak at a book event. That time they held me for 45 minutes. Today we were returning from a literary festival in Jamaica, and I was startled that I was being sent ―in back‖ once again.
The officer behind the counter called me up and said, ―Miss, your name looks like the name of someone who‘s on our wanted list. We‘re going to have to check you out with Washington.‖―How long will it take?‖
―Hard to say ... a few minutes,‖ he said. ―We‘ll call you when we‘re ready for you.‖ After an hour, Washington still hadn‘t decided anything about me. ―Isn‘t this computerized?‖
I asked at the counter. ―Can‘t you just look me up?‖
Just a few more minutes, they assured me.
After an hour and a half, I pulled my cell phone out to call the friends I was supposed to meet that evening. An officer rushed over. ―No phones!‖ he said. ―For all we know you could be calling a terrorist cell and giving them information.‖
―I‘m just a university professor,‖ I said. My voice came out in a squeak.
―Of course you are. And we take people like you out of here in leg irons every day.‖
I put my phone away.
My husband and I were getting hungry and tired. Whole families had been brought into the waiting room, and the place was packed with excitable children, exhausted parents, even a flight attendant.
I wanted to scream, to jump on a chair and shout: ―I‘m an American citizen; a novelist; I probably teach English literature to your children.‖ Or would that all be counted against me?
After two hours in detention, I was approached by one of the officers. ―You‘re free to go,‖ he said. No explanation or apologies. For a moment, neither of us moved, we were still in shock.
Then we leaped to our feet.
―Oh, one more thing.‖ He handed me a tattered photocopy with an address on it. ―If you weren‘t happy with your treatment, you can write to this agency.‖
―Will they respond?‖ I asked.
―I don‘t know --- I don‘t know of anyone who‘s ever written to them before.‖ Then he added, ―By the way, this will probably keep happening each time you travel internationally.‖―What can I do to keep it from happening again?‖
He smiled the empty smile we‘d seen all day. ―Absolutely nothing.‖
After telling several friends about our ordeal, probably the most frequent advice I‘ve heard in response is to change my name. Twenty years ago, my own graduate school writing professor advised me to write under a pen name so that publishers wouldn‘t sti ck me in what he called ―the ethnic ghetto‖ --- a separate, secondary shelf in the bookstore. But a name is an integral part of anyone‘s personal and professional identity -just like the town you‘re born in and the place where you‘re raised.
Like my father, I‘ll keep the name, but my airport experience has given me a whole new perspective on what diversity and tolerance are supposed to mean. I had no idea that being an American would ever be this hard.
60. The author was held at the airport because __________.

Florence Chadwick was a great swimmer. However, not all of her efforts worked out. In addition to working hard, she had a secret for success. At the age of 34, her goal was to become the first woman to swim from Catalina Island to the California coast. However, in 1952, the sea was like an ice bath and the fog was so dense that she could hardly see her support boats. Her body was numb and she had been swimming for nearly 16 hours. Against the frigid grip of the sea, she struggled on---hour after hour---while millions watched on national television.
Alongside Florence, in one of the boats, her mother and her trainer offered encouragement. They told her it wasn‘t much farther. But all she could see was fog. They urged her not to quit. She never had… until th en. With only a half mile to go, she asked to be pulled out. Still thawing her chilled body several hours later, she told a reporter, ―Look, I‘m not excusing myself, but if I could have seen land I might have made it.‖ It was not tiredness or even the cold water that defeated her. It was the fog. She was unable to see her goal.
Two months later, she tried again. Despite the same dense fog, she swam with her faith intact and her goal clearly pictured in her mind. She knew that somewhere behind that fog was land and this time she made it.

Many of us bear in mind the little hatred that may have arisen from an argument, a misunderstanding, or some other painful events. 36 , we wait for someone else to reach out to us —believing this is the only way we can 37 or reawaken a friendship or family relationship.
An acquaintance of mine, whose health isn‘t very good, recently told me that she hadn‘t 38 her son in almost three years. ―Why not?‖ I asked. She said that she and her son had had a(n) 39 about his wife and that she wo uldn‘t speak to him again40 he called first. When I suggested that she be the one to reach out, she 41 initially and said, ―I can‘t do that. He‘s the one who should apologize.‖ She was 42 willing to die before reaching out to her only son. After a little gentle 43 , she did decide to be the first one to reach out. To her amazement, her son was 44 for her willingness to call and offered an apology of his own. As is usually the 45 , everyone wins when someone takes the chance and reaches out.
Whenever we 46 on to our anger, we turn ―small stuff‖ into really ―big stuff‖ in our minds. We start to believe that our positions are more important than our 47 . They are not. If you want to be a more 48 person you must understand that being right is almost 49 more important than allowing yourself to be happy. The way to be happy is to let go and reach out. Let other people be 50 . This doesn‘t mean that you‘re wrong. Everything will be fine. You‘ll 51 the peace of lettin g go, as well as the joy of letting others be right. You‘ll also notice that, as you reach out and let others be ―right‖, they will become less 52 and more loving toward you. They might even 53 . But, if for some reason they don‘t, that‘s okay too. You will have the inner 54 of knowing that you have done your part to 55 a more loving world, and certainly you will be more peaceful yourself.

Kayaking is an activity enjoyed by many people of all ages. It requires little or no experience and nearly anyone of any skill level can participate. It‘s most popular as a summertime sport, but it is also a great activity during the winter. Kayaking also seems relatively friendly to the environment; more so th an speed boating or water skiing. Because a kayak doesn‘t create large or frequent waves, require fuel, or scatter hazards into the air, it is indeed a fairly safe activity for humans and wildlife alike.
Kayaking on freshwater lakes and streams creates little turbulence and therefore does not disturb fish or other aquatic life. Actually, the gentle paddling and movement of the kayak helps to bring seaweed to the surface, making for convenient snacking to the fish. However, there is a drawback to the all-you-can-buffet for your fishy friends. In addition to bringing food to the surface, kayaking also stirs up litter that‘s been hiding beneath the waters. Some aquatic animals will mistake it for food. This could cause the animals to choke on the indigestible litter, leading to death. As hazardous as this sounds, it isn‘t very likely for such an event to take place. Most litter in lakes and streams is found along the shoreline and settles in the sand and dirt, and isn‘t likely to drift away to the main body of water.
▲. And because kayaks do not have a motor, fish have no risk of getting caught underneath the boat.
One potential hazard that results from kayaking is human waste. This depends solely on where you plan to kayak, and if there are resources available (such as campsites) along the shoreline. When there are no facilities in sight, you‘re paddling in the middle of a lake, and nature calls, then often you are given no choice but to expel your waste in the middle of the water. While human waste is considered biodegradable, it can be harmful when swallowed by fish. The only preventative measure is to avoid using the water as a restroom. Some public lakes and streams have taken steps to preserve the quality of the water by requiring permits for kayaking. This won‘t eliminate a human waste problem, but does help regulate entry into the lake and prevent it from becoming overcrowded.
As an important factor to remember when kayaking is that you are a guest in someone else‘s home. You may not be greeted by anyone or be able to kick up your feet and watch TV, but the water is home to many aquatic animals and wildlife. Just as you would not throw trash on the floor or destroy the home of another, you shouldn‘t do it outdoors either. Keep all trash with you in your kay ak and properly dispose of it after you return to shore. By doing your part, you will help doing your part, you will help keep kayaking a safe and enjoyable activity for yourself and the environment.
56. Which of the following statements is True about Kayaking according to the passage?
A. Young people‘s enjoyment of kayaking exceeds that of other people.
B. Water skiing has more negative effects on the environment than Kayaking.
C. Usually, kayaking is only practiced in the summer.
D. Whether you can kayak depends on resources available along the shoreline.
57. What does ―this‖ in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Providing aquatic animals with an all-you-can-buffet.
B. Stirring up litter to the surface of the water.
C. That aquatic animals choke to death because of eating the litter.
D. That most litter in lakes and streams is found along the shoreline and settles.
58. Which sentence can be put in the blank in paragraph 3?
A. Because of their adaptability, kayaks can be useful for other outdoor activities such as diving,
fishing, and search and rescue during floods.
B. Unlike boats operated by motor and fuel, kayaks pose little or no harm to the fish swimming
beneath.
C. Contrary to what people may assume, there are a number of unique styles of kayaking based
on the type and speed of water involved.
D. Sea kayaking is a potentially hazardous pursuit, partly because of the nature of the
environment in which we operate.
59. Which is the best title of the passage?

A classic joke goes like this: A nurse rushes into an exam room and says, ―Doctor, doctor, there‘s an invisible man in the waiting room.‖ The doctor says, ―Tell him I can‘t see him.‖
Pretty simple, right?
Here‘s how I tell it: ―A nurse—her name is Joyce—feels a presence in the waiting room. She looks around but sees nothing. She jumps up from her desk, carefully replaces her chair, and runs down the lavender-hued hallway to the doctor‘s office. She knocks on the door. No response. He‘s not there. Where can he be? She continues down the hall, admiring a lithograph of an 18th-century Mississippi paddleboat along the way.‖ By this time, my audience has left, but I soldier on. ―She bursts into the exam room and says, ?Doctor,doctor!‘ The doctor, I should mention, is a urologist with a degree from Ohio State, which is where my nephew …‖
You get the idea. I‘m an embellisher. I can‘t leave a simple gag alone.
I‘m not the only joke-challenged member of the family. My sister‘s worse than I am. Her problem: She can‘t remember them. “‘A nurse rushes into an exam room and says…’Uh, let me start all over again. ‘A nurse rushes into a waiting…’No, it‘s not the waiting room. She just came from the waiting room. Let me start all over again. ?A doctor rushes into…‘ No, wait…‖ My uncle‘s different. He‘s guilty of taking a perfectly fine joke and selling it as the second coming of Oscar Wilde,“Okay, this is a good one. Ready? No, really, ready? Okay, fasten your seat belts. Ready?‘A nurse…’Got it? A nurse? Okay, ready?‘A nurse rushes into an exam room and says, ―Doctor, doctor, there‘s an invisible man in the waiting room.‖‘ Now, this is where it gets funny. Ready?‖
No one is ever ready, so they leave before he gets to the punch line.
My father‘s on Wall Street, so he hears all the jokes before they hit the Web. And he lets you know he knows them all by telling you all of them. He also knows that most people don‘t like jokes. So he slips them in under the radar: ―I was chatting with Ben Bernanke the other day. You know Ben, d on‘t you? The Fed chief? Anyway, we were reviewing the Fed‘s policy on long-term interest rates, and he told me it had evolved into its current iteration only after a nurse rushed into an exam room and said, ?Doctor, doctor, there‘s…‘ Hey, where are you going?‖
My brother Mark understands that the secret to good joke telling is to know your audience. When he entertained my grandmother‘s bridge club one evening, he made it a point to adapt the joke to them: ―A beautiful blonde nurse rushes into a consulting room…”
No one in my family has ever finished this joke.
But as bad as it is not to be able to tell a joke, there‘s something worse: not being able to listen to one. Take my cousin Mitch for example.
“Why couldn‘t the doctor see him?‖ he asked.
“Because he‘s invisible,‖ I said.
“Now, I didn‘t get that. I thought the doctor couldn‘t see him because he was with a patient.‖“Well, yeah, okay, but the fact that the guy was invisible…‖
“Could the nurse see him?‖
“No. She‘s the one who said he was invisible…‖
“How‘d she know he was there?‖
“Because he…‖
“When you say he was invisible, does that mean his clothes were invisible too?‖ Here‘s where I tried to walk away.
“Because if his clothes weren‘t invisible,‖ Mitch said, stepping between me and the exit, “then the doctor could see him, right?”
“Yeah, but …”
“At least his clothes.”
“I guess…”
“Unless he was naked.”
“Okay, he was naked!”
“Why would he go to his doctor naked?”
Next time you see my family and someone is telling a joke, do yourself a favor: Make yourself invisible.
61. Which of the following is true according to this article?
A. No one in the writer‘s family is good at telling jokes.
B. Mark is the best at telling jokes in his family.
C. Mitch is very sensitive to all kinds of jokes.
D. A typically classic joke should cover all the details.
62. What is inappropriate about Mark‘s adaptation of the joke?
A. He knows the audience very well.
B. He shouldn‘t have entertained a bridge club.
C. He shouldn‘t have begun the story with a beautiful blond nurse.
D. He shouldn‘t have told old people jokes.
63. Mitch stepped between me and the exit because __________.
A. he wanted to go out with me
B. he wanted to block my way out
C. he was trying to repay the situation in the consulting room
D. he wanted to show that the doctor could see the patient
64. Which is the best title of the passage?
A. Learn to Amuse Others
B. Where to Find a Doctor
C. How to Ruin a Classic Joke
D. A Story about a Funny Family

Convection vs. Conventional Ovens
If you are in the market for a new oven and you‘ve already begun shopping for one, you‘ve probably noticed that there are a few different types. Two of the most popular oven types are conventional and convection. The difference in these two types of ovens is the way in which the heat in the oven is spread during the cooking process.
Convection ovens
A convection oven uses a fan which is usually located on the back side of the oven. The purpose of the fan is to force the heated air inside of the oven and circulate it around the item being cooked. The heater air is constantly pushed over and around the food, and therefore a convection oven cooks food much faster than a conventional oven.
Not only does a convection oven cook food more quickly than a conventional oven, but it can also thoroughly cook food at lower temperatures. The average amount of time saved when cooking with a convection oven is about 20 percent of the food‘s normal cooking time. The temperature a convection oven uses to cook food is also about 20 percent lower than a recipe‘s suggested cooking temperature.
Convection ovens are speedier and more efficient than conventional ovens, and therefore may be more expensive. However, professional chefs from around the world swear by them and rely on them for delicious tasting food. Also, since the air circulation in a convection oven is the same throughout, food will cook at the same rate no matter where it is placed in the oven….on the top or bottom rack or near the front or back.
Conventional Oven
Traditionally, most personal residences in the United States come equipped with a modern conventional oven. These are the most common types of household ovens, and are used every day to cook all sorts of meals, desserts, breads, and many other types of food.
Conventional ovens are similar to convection ovens in that they both cook food using heat. They both have the ability to use either gas or electricity, depending on the hook-up in a home. Some may use either gas or electricity simply depending on what is plugged in to them, and some are made to be either gas specific or electricity specific.
In a conventional oven, the heat circulation in the oven can become blocked by pots and pans inside of the oven, which will result in uneven cooking. Uneven cooking is especially noticeable when both the bottom and top racks in the oven are being used at the same time. The items on top will cook faster because heat rises to the tops and when there is a lot in the oven, the heat gets trapped there.
There are pros and cons to both conventional and convection ovens. Conventional ovens have been serving people for years and years and food has been cooked successfully in them for many decades. Convection ovens have many followers and fans, but these types of ovens can be hard to get used to…especially for novice cooks.
56. If it takes 1 hour to cook a dish using a conventional oven, how much time will one need on average to cook the same dish using a convection oven?
A. 48 minutes.
B. 45 minutes.
C. 80 minutes.
D. 20 minutes.
57. What device makes convection ovens more efficient than conventional ovens?
A. Better timers, which reduce the time required to cook.
B. A fan, which forces the air through the oven on a constant basis.
C. Additional heating elements that make certain food be cooked evenly.
D. Commercial cooking facilities, which ensure the food is properly prepared.
58. According to the passage, which of the following may be expected to occur with the use of a conventional oven?
A. Food will have a gas-like smell.
B. Food will be cooked evenly.
C. Items on the top rack will cook faster.
D. Breads will rise better, be lighter and crispier.
59. Which of the following is True of both convection ovens and conventional ovens?
A. Items cooked on the bottom of an oven will not cook properly.
B. Food will be cooked evenly.
C. It uses either gas or electricity to provide heat.
D. It is not easy to use for people who aren‘t familiar with cooking.

On his bench in Madison Square Soapy moved uneasily, and he realized the fact that the time had come for him to provide against the coming winter.
The winter ambitions of Soapy were not of the highest. In them there were no dreams of Mediterranean voyages or blue Southern skies. Three months on the Island was what his soul desired. Three months of assured board and bed and good company, safe from north winds seemed to Soapy the most desirable thing.
Just as the more fortunate New Yorkers had bought their tickets to Palm Beach each winter, Soapy had made his arrangements for his annual journey to the Island. And now the time had come.
There were many institutions of charity in New York where he might receive lodging and food, but to Soapy‘s proud spirit the gifts of charity were undesirable. You must p ay in humiliation of spirit for everything received at the hands of mercy. So it was better to be a guest of the law.
Soapy, having decided to go to the Island, at once set about accomplishing his desire. He left his bench and went up Broadway. He stopped at the door of a glittering cafe. He was shaven and his coat was decent. If he could reach a table in the restaurant, the portion of him that would show above the table would raise no doubt in the waiter‘s mind. A roasted duck, with a bottle of wine, a ci gar and a cup of coffee would be enough. Such a dinner would make him happy, for the journey to his winter refuge.
But as Soapy entered the restaurant door, the head waiter‘s eye fell upon his shabby trousers and old shoes. Strong hands pushed him in silence and haste out into the street.
Some other way of entering the desirable refuge must be found.
At a corner of Sixth Avenue Soapy took a stone and sent it through the glass of a glittering shop window. People came running around the corner, a policeman at the head of them. Soapy stood still, with his hands in his pockets, and smiled at the sight of the policeman.
“Where is the man that has done that?‖ asked the policeman.
“Don‘t you think that I have had something to do with it?‖ said Soapy, friendly.
The policeman paid no attention to Soapy. Men who break windows don‘t remain to speak with policemen. They run away. He saw a man running and rushed after him, stick in hand. Soapy, disgusted, walked along, twice unsuccessful.
On the opposite side of the street was a restaurant for people with large appetites and modest purses. Soapy entered this place without difficulty. He sat at a table and ate beefsteak and pie. And then he told the waiter he had no money.
“Go and call a cop,‖ said Soapy. ―And don‘t keep a gentleman waiting.‖
“No cop for you,‖ said the waiter. ―Hey!‖
Then Soapy found himself lying upon his left ear on the pavement. He arose with difficulty, and beat the dust from his clothes. Arrest seemed a rosy dream. The Island seemed far away.
After another unsuccessful attempt to be arrested for harassing a young woman, Soapy went further toward the district of theatres.
When he saw a policeman standing in front of a glittering theatre, he thought of ―disorderly conduct‖. On the sidewalk Soapy began to sing drunken songs at the top of his voice. He danced, cried, and otherwise disturbed the peace.
The policeman turned his back to Soapy, and said to a citizen, ―It is one of the Yale boys celebrating their football victory. Noisy, but no harm.‖
Sadly, Soapy stopped his useless singing and dancing. The Island seemed unattainable. He buttoned his thin coat against the north wind.
In a cigar store he saw a well-dressed man who had set his silk umbrella by the door. Soapy entered the store, took the umbrella, and went out with it slowly. The man with the cigar followed hastily.
“My umbrella,‖ he said.
“Oh, is it?‖ said Soapy. ―Well, why don‘t you call a policeman? I took your umbrella! Why don‘t you call a cop? There stands one on the corner.‖
The umbrella owner slowed his steps. Soapy did likewise. The policeman looked at them curiously.
“Of course,‖ said the umbrella man, ―well, you know how these mistakes occur…if it‘s your umbrella I hope you‘ll excuse me – I picked it up this morning in a restaurant – if i t‘s yours, I hope you‘ll…‖
“Of course it‘s mine,‖ said Soapy.
The ex-umbrella man retreated. The policeman hurried to help a well-dressed woman across the street.
Soapy threw the umbrella angrily. He was angry with the men who wear helmets and carry clubs. They seemed to regard him as a king who could do no wrong.
At last Soapy stopped before an old church on a quiet corner. Through one window a soft light glowed, where, the organist played a Sunday anthem. For there came to Soapy‘s ears sweet music that caught and held him at the iron fence.
The moon was shining; cars and pedestrians were few; birds twittered sleepily under the roof. And the anthem that the organist played cemented Soapy to the iron fence, for he had known it well in the days when his life contained such things as mothers and roses and ambitions and friends.
The influence of the music and the old church produced a sudden and wonderful change in Soapy‘s soul. He thought of his degraded days, dead hopes and wrecked faculties.
And also in a moment a strong impulse moved him to battle with his desperate fate. He would pull himself out of this pit; he would make a man of himself again. Those sweet notes had set up a revolution in him. Tomorrow he would be somebody in the world. He would…
Soapy felt a hand on his arm. He looked quickly around into the broad face of a policeman.
“What are you doing here?‖
“Nothing.‖
“Then come along,‖ said the policeman.
“Three months on the Island,‖ said the Judge the next morning.

Third Culture Kids
As more cities and companies become increasing international, there is a growing number of children that are creating their own sub-culture. Often 36 to as TCKs (Third Culture Kids) or Global Nomads, these students have a(n) 37 impact on the global community.
So who are these Third Culture Kids? They are not a new phenomenon. As one looks 38 history, there is a realization that certain groups of people have led highly 39 lives, a key 40 in describing TCKs. They often 41 their parents into another country and spend a significant part of his or her development years outside the parents‘ culture. They are 42 to new cultures and to other people in the community who 43 move constantly. Their numbers 44 into the hundreds of thousands and are increasing. Ease of 45 and constant relocation of people through multinational companies and global business links contribute to this 46 .
The question ―Who am I?‖is frequently asked by TCKs. They have 47 a host of cultural identities, and have built relationships to all the cultures, 48 not having full ownership of any. Although elements from each culture are absorbed into TCK‘s life experience, the sense of 49 is in relationship to others of a similar background.
As you enter into the world of TCKs, one might suspect they are no 50 . But it is 51 , after spending only a short time with them, that they bring a deep knowledge from inside and a special ability to compare 52 and local issues. They represent many countries and cultures. They are the
future cross-culturalists and 53 future politicians, diplomats, government employees and educators.
They certainly experience a different lifestyle compared to their mono-cultural peers but we can benefit from their global and 54 lives. So, whatever one chooses to label the international students as ---TCKs, Global Nomads, or Global Souls ---we will gain unbelievable 55 .

Most people know precious gemstones (宝石) by their appearances. An emerald flashes deep green, a ruby seems to hold a red fire inside, and a diamond shines like a star. It‘s more difficult to tell where the gem was mined, since a diamond from Australia or Arkansas may appear the same to one from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. However, recently, a team of scientists has found a way to identify a gemstone‘s origin.
Beneath the surface of a gemstone, on the tiny level of atoms and molecules（分子）, lie clues (线索) to its origin. At this year‘s meeting of the Geological Society of America in Minneapolis, Catherine McManus reported on a technique that uses lasers (激光) to clarify these clues and identify a stone‘s homeland. McManus directs scientific re search at Materialytics, in Killeen, Texas. The company is developing the technique. ―With enough data, we could identify which country, which mining place, even the individual mine a gemstone comes from,‖ McManus told Science News.
Some gemstones, including many diamonds, come from war-torn countries. Sales of those ―blood minerals‖ may encourage violent civil wars where innocent people are injured or killed. In an effort to reduce the trade in blood minerals, the U.S. government passed law in July 2010 that requires companies that sell gemstones to determine the origins of their stones.
To figure out where gemstones come from, McManus and her team focus a powerful laser on a small sample of the gemstone. The technique is called laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy. Just as heat can turn ice into water or water into steam, energy from the laser changes the state of matter of the stone. The laser changes a miniscule part of the gemstone into plasma, a gas state of matter in which tiny particles（微粒）called electrons separate from atoms.
The plasma, which is superhot, produces a light pattern. (The science of analyzing this kind of light pattern is called spectroscopy.) Different elements produce different patterns, but McManus and her team say that gemstones from the same area produce similar patterns. Materialytics has already collected patterns from thousands of gemstones, including more than 200 from diamonds. They can compare the light pattern from an unknown gemstone to patterns they do know and look for a match. The light pattern acts like a signature, telling the researchers the origin of the gemstone.
In a small test, the laser technique correctly identified the origins of 95 out of every 100 diamonds. For gemstones like emeralds and rubies, the technique proved successful for 98 out of every 100 stones. The scientists need to collect and analyze more samples, including those from

2012年跨考教育秋季集训营英语习题——新题型部分 1.7选5模拟试题 模拟试题一 Directions: In the following article, some sentences have been removed. For Questions 1-5, choose the most suitable one from the list A-G to fit into each of the numbered blank. There are two extra choices, which do not fit in any of the gaps. The main problem in discussing American popular culture is also one of its main characteristics; it won't stay American. No matter what it is, whether it is films, food and fashion, music, casual sports or slang, it's soon at home elsewhere in the world. There are several theories why American popular culture has had this appeal. One theory is that is has been "advertised" and marketed through American films, popular music, and more recently, television. 1 They are, after all, in competition with those produced by other countries. Another theory, probably a more common one, is that American popular culture is internationally associated with something called "the spirit of America". 2 The final theory is less complex: American popular culture is popular because a lot of people in the world like it. Regardless of why its spreads, American popular culture is usually quite rapidly adopted and then adapted in many other countries. 3 Black leather jackets worn by many heroes in American movies could be found, a generation later, on all those young men who wanted to make this manly-look their own. Two areas where this continuing process is most clearly seen are clothing and music. Some people can still remember a time when T-shirts, jogging clothes, tennis shoes, denim jackets, and blue jeans were not common daily wear everywhere. Only twenty years ago, it was possible to spot an American in Paris by his of her clothes. No longer so: those bright colors, checkered jackets and trousers, hats and socks which were once made fun in cartoons are back again in Paris as the latest fashion. 4 The situation with American popular music is more complex because in the beginning, when it was still clearly American, it was often strongly resisted. Jazz was once thought to be a great danger to youth and their morals, and was actually outlawed in several countries. Today, while still showing its rather American roots, it has become so well established. Rock 'n' roll and all its variations, country & western music, all have more or less similar histories. They were first resisted, often in America as well, as being "low-class", and then as "a danger to our nation's youth". 5 And then the music became accepted and was extended and developed, and exported back to the U.S. A）As a result, its American origins and roots are often quickly forgotten. "Happy Birthday to You," for instance, is such an everyday song that its source, its American copyright, so to speak, is not remembered. B）But this theory fails to explain why American films, music, and television programs are so popular in themselves. C）American in origin, informal clothing has become the world's first truly universal style. D）The BBC, for example, banned rock 'n' roll until 1962. E）American food has become popular around the world too. F）This spirit is variously described as being young and free, optimistic and confident, informal and disrespectful. G）It is hardly surprising that the public concern contributes a lot to the spread of the culture.
