And if you don ’t know for sure, it ’sa verylikely that you can find out. There may be a watch on your wrist, there may be a clock on the wall, desk, orcomputer screen; or maybe you’re riding in a car that has a clock in the dashboard ( 仪表板 ).Even if you don’t have a timepiece of some sort nearby, your body keeps its own beat. Humans have aninternal clock that regulates ( 调节) the beating of our heart, the pace of our breathing, the discharge ( 排出) ofchemicals within our bloodstream, and many other bodily functions.Time is something from which we can ’t escape. Even if we ignore it, it ’s still going by, ticking away, secondby second, minute by minute, hour by hour. So the main issue in using your time well is, “Who’s in charge?”Wecan allow time to slip by and let it be our enemy. Or we can take control of it and make it our ally.By taking control of how you spend your time, you ’ll increase your chances of becoming a moresuccessfulstudent. Perhaps more importantly, the better you are at managing the time you devote to your studies, the moretime you ’ll have to spend on your outside interests.The aim of time management is not to schedule every moment so we become slaves of a timetable thatgoverns every waking moment of the day. Instead, the aim is to make informed choices as to how we use our time.Rather than letting the day go by, largely without our awareness, what we are going to discuss next can make usbetter able to control time for our own purposes.43. The underlined word “ally”in Para. 3 more likely means somebody or something that is _________.A. your slave and serves youB. your supporter and helps youC. under your control and obeys youD. under your influence and follows you44. The author intends to tell us that time _____________.A. could be regulated by a timepiece such as a clock or a watchB. could be managed by the internal clock of human bodiesC. should be well managed for our own interestD. should be saved for outside interests45. In the next part, the author would most probably discuss with you ________.A. how to keep up with the timesB. how to make up for lost timeC. how to have a good timeD. how to make good use of timeBWe experience different forms of the Sun ’s energy every day. We can see its light and feel its warmth.TheSun is the major source of evaporation ( 蒸发) of water from the oceans and lakes. Sunlight also provides the energyused by green plants to make their own food. These green plants then provide food for all organisms ( 生物) on theEarth.Much of the energy that comes from the Sun never reaches the Earth ’s surface. It is either reflected or absorbedby the gases in the upper atmosphere. Of the energy that reaches the lower atmosphere, 30% is reflected by cloudsor the Earth ’s surface. The remaining 70% warms the surface of the planet, causes water to evaporate, and providesenergy for the water cycle and weather. Only a tiny part, approximately 0.023%, is actually used by green plants toproduce food.Many gases found in the atmosphere actually reflect heat energy escaping from the Earth ’s surface back to theEarth. These gases act like the glass of a greenhouse in that they allow energy from the Sun to enter but preventenergy from leaving. They are therefore called greenhouse gases.When sunlight strikes an object, some of the energy is absorbed and some is reflected. The amount reflecteddepends on the surface. For example, you ’ve probably noticed how bright snow is when sunlight falls on it. Snowreflects most of the energy from the Sun, so it contributes to the low temperatures of winter. Dark-coloured surfaces,such as dark soil or forest, absorb more energy and help warm the surrounding air.46. According to the passage, the root cause for weather changes on the Earth is ______.A. the atmosphere surrounding the EarthB. water from oceans and lakesC. energy from the SunD. greenhouse gases in the sky47. Only a small part of the Sun ’s energy reaches the Earth’s surface because most of it _______________.A. absorbed by the clouds in the lower atmosphereB. reflected by the gases in the upper atmosphereC. lost in the upper and lower atmosphereD. used to evaporate water from the oceans and lakes48. We learn from the passage that _______________.A. all living things on the Earth depend on the Sun for their foodB. a forest looks dark in winter because it absorbs solar energyC. only 0.023% of the energy from the Sun is made use of on the EarthD. greenhouse gases allow heat energy to escape from the Earth’s surfaceCGallery Policiesfor Visitors to National Gallery of Art, WashingtonVisitors must present all carried items for For the safety of the artworks and other visitors,inspection upon entry.

And if you don’t know for sure, it’s a very likely that you can find out. There may be a watch on your wrist, there may be a clock on the wall, desk, or computer screen; or maybe you’re riding in a car that has a clock in the dashboard (仪表板).Even if you don’t have a timepiece of some sort nearby, your body keeps its own beat. Humans have an internal clock that regulates (调节) the beating of our heart, the pace of our breathing, the discharge (排出) of chemicals within our bloodstream, and many other bodily functions.Time is something from which we can’t escape. Even if we ignore it, it’s still going by, ticking away, second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour. So the main issue in using your time well is, “Who’s in charge?” We can allow time to slip by and let it be our enemy. Or we can take control of it and make it our ally.By taking control of how you spend your time, you’ll increase your chances of becoming a more successfulstudent. Perhaps more importantly, the better you are at managing the time you devote to your studies, the more time you’ll have to spend on your outside interests.The aim of time management is not to schedule every moment so we become slaves of a timetable that governs every waking moment of the day. Instead, the aim is to make informed choices as to how we use our time. Rather than letting the day go by, largely without our awareness, what we are going to discuss next can make us better able to control time for our own purposes.56. The underlined word “ally” in Para. 3 more likely means somebody or something that is _________.A. your slave and serves youB. your supporter and helps youC. under your control and obeys youD. under your influence and follows you57. The author intends to tell us that time _____________.A. could be regulated by a timepiece such as a clock or a watchB. could be managed by the internal clock of human bodiesC. should be well managed for our own interestD. should be saved for outside interests58. In the next part, the author would most probably discuss with you ________.A. how to keep up with the timesB. how to make up for lost timeC. how to have a good timeD. how to make good use of timeBWe experience different forms of the Sun’s energy every day. We can see its light and feel its warmth. The Sun is the major source of evaporation (蒸发) of water from the oceans and lakes. Sunlight also provides the energy used by green plants to make their own food. These green plants then provide food for all organisms (生物) on the Earth.Much of the energy that comes from the Sun never reaches the Earth’s surface. It is either reflected or absorbed by the gases in the upper atmosphere. Of the energy that reaches the lower atmosphere, 30% is reflected by clouds or the Earth’s surface. The remaining 70% warms the surface of the planet, causes water to evaporate, and provides energy for the water cycle and weather. Only a tiny part, approximately 0.023%, is actually used by green plants to produce food.Many gases found in the atmosphere actually reflect heat energy escaping from the Earth’s surface back to the Earth. These gases act like the glass of a greenhouse in that they allow energy from the Sun to enter but prevent energy from leaving. They are therefore called greenhouse gases.When sunlight strikes an object, some of the energy is absorbed and some is reflected. The amount reflected depends on the surface. For example, you’ve probably noticed how bright snow is when sunlight falls on it. Snow reflects most of the energy from the Sun, so it contributes to the low temperatures of winter. Dark-coloured surfaces, such as dark soil or forest, absorb more energy and help warm the surrounding air.59. According to the passage, the root cause for weather changes on the Earth is ______.A. the atmosphere surrounding the EarthB. water from oceans and lakesC. energy from the SunD. greenhouse gases in the sky60. Only a small part of the Sun’s energy reaches the Earth’s surface because most of it _______________.A. absorbed by the clouds in the lower atmosphereB. reflected by the gases in the upper atmosphereC. lost in the upper and lower atmosphereD. used to evaporate water from the oceans and lakes61. We learn from the passage that _______________.A. all living things on the Earth depend on the Sun for their foodB. a forest looks dark in winter because it absorbs solar energyC. only 0.023% of the energy from the Sun is made use of on the EarthD. greenhouse gases allow heat energy to escape from the Earth’s surfaceC62.

College, carrier, and life itself got in the way. In fact, Jack moved clear across the country in pursuit of the dreams. There, in the rush of his busy life, Jack had little time to think about the past and often no time to spend with his wife and son. He was working on his future, and nothing could stop him.Over the phone, his mother told him, “Mr. Belser died last night. The funeral is Wednesday.” Memories fleshed through his mind like an old newsreel as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days.“Jack, did you hear me?”“Oh, sorry, Mom. Yes, I heard you. it’s been so long since I thought of him. I’m sorry, but I honestly thought he died years ago,” Jack said.“Well, he didn’t forget you. Every time I saw him he’d ask how you were doing. He’d reminisce (回忆) about the many days you spent over ‘his side of the fence’ as he put it, ” Mom told him.“I loved that old house he lived in,” Jack said.“You know, Jack, after your father died, Mr. Belser stepped in to make sure you had a man’s influence in your life,” she said.“He’s the one who taught me carpentry. I wouldn’t be in this business if it weren’t for him. He spent a lot of time teaching me things he thought were important. Mom, I’ll be there for the funeral.” Jack said.Busy as he was, he kept his word. Jack caught the next flight to his hometown. Mr. Belser’s funeral was small and uneventful. He had no children of his own, and most of his relatives had passed away.The night before he had to return home, Jack and his Mom stopped by to see the old house next door one more time, which was exactly as he remembered. Every step held memories. Every picture, every piece of furniture … Jack stopped suddenly.“What’s wrong, Jack?” his Mom asked.“The box is gone,” he said.“What box?” Mom asked.“There was a small gold box that he kept locked on top of his desk. I must have asked him a thousand times what was inside. All he’d ever tell me was ‘the thing I value most’,” Jack said.It was gone. Everything about the house was exactly how Jack remembered it, except for the box.
